YOL. 10, NO. 17. The Robber's Lamp. 'Got to go over on foot!' exclaimed the contractor. 'Not a cLaTrCc of anything else, replied the accent. 'But, then it's only five miles, and you'll have better quarters than here, in this vile phanty. The. money will be safer, too let alone that the men won't go to work again, unless they're paid this morning. Is the road safe? I don't like the idea of lugging so much money. I could defend myself, or run; but 1,500 in small bills is a big package to run with. 'tend you're valise over in advance.' Who by?' ily man.' 'Is he trustworthy?' 'Honest as the day; and he needn't know there's anything in it but dirty linen, lie can start now; and you can wait till after supper, it you will.' And, so saying, the agent of the railroad company stepped to the door of the shanty and shouted for Patric; and, short ly, that individual came as bright, lively, ! honest-looking a son of the Green Isle as j ever helped build a western railroad. 'Patrick!' 'Yes, your honor.' 'Take this gentleman's valise over to the village and leave it with the superinten dent. Tell him the owner will be after it this evening.' An' is that all, yer honor!' 'That's all only be quick about it, and you'll earn an extra dollar. 'I'm just the bey for that, onyhow. Sura it's a small Lit of a valise.' And so saying, Patrick picked up the object of Ins contempt, and tugged away with an utter absence of curiosity as to the nature of what he was carrying. The temporary station at which ihe construction train' had landed the contractor a centleir.an named Perkins was at the end cf tho Air Line railroad to : and. as the labcres thereon had not been paid over promptly, they had now for some days been ou a strike, abandoning the works and congregating idly at a hamlet, a few miles distant, thereby compelling their delinquent employers to come to terms. Mr. Peikios had brought a good share of the 'terms with him, for immediate distribution; and, after a plain but hearty supper with the agent, he was about to start on his tramp, when U was discov that a good-sized western tliunder-stortu was about to burst, and the walk was post poned until the bky should clear. In a few minutes more the rain was coming down in torrents, and kept it up for an hour cr so, at the end of which time tho contractor paddled away over the muddy road, congratulating himself tnit tho valise in Patrick's care was water proof. 'lie's had a rougher time than I will, anyhow; and now, if I ain't robbed and murdered before I get there, 1 shall do well enough, in spite of tho mud.' And so, muttering to himself, the worthy gentleman splahcd forward. Oar present business, however, is not with his employer, but with Patrick himself. The parting instruction to make hast had not seethed to make a very deep impression on the careless son of Erin; and he trudged easily along, and with an occasional shrewd glance at (he somewhat threatening sky, growling to himself. 'Faith, on' I'll be there bifor he will, an' if it don't rain, an' mebbc I will if it does. Och, but it's a wake one to be given a dollar for the carryiu' the like o' this. A litt'e more than half way across the open prairie between the railway terminlts and the village was a tolerably dense grove, and it was after sunstct when Patlick plunged under its shadows. Nor had he gone far before, as the srloom rapidly deepened, the premoniiory flashes of lightnine; and the deep, smothered roars of the thunder gave token that the storm was upon him. 'Now, an' I cud ownly git to the owld loghor.se, it 'ud kape n;e dhry. Ilowly Moses! what a big flash was that!' And, so saying, Patrick broke into a very respectable trot, which quickly brought him out into a weed grown clearing. In the center of this there was a small log hou:-e, the deserted homestead of some discontented squatter who had j moved turther westward. It consisted of but two rooms, front and back, and all vestiges of doors or window shutters had long since disappeared; but it promised some sort of imperfect shelter from the rain. Patrick was but just in time, hardly had he stumbled over the greasy threshold before the first big drops began to patter, and these were quickly followed by such penetrating torrents as compelled him to select his standing place under as good a corner of the leaky roof as he could find. 'Bless me sowl, but this is a wet rain, onyhow! I'd noi loike to be found wid another man's portmanty about ms clothes. Whisht, now, Pathriek, mo jewel what's that?' And, as he spoke, Patrick once more advanced toward t lie doorway. It was i now all Cut pitch dark, and he could he,r me iiau iuumeu voices oi u;en,wnose pri-j fane utterances seemed to try and direct one another toward the shelter. 'Here it is, Bob. I wonder if there is anybody in it.' 'Not to-night, there won't be. Go right in; we're eomiu'.' Patrick was no fool, and he had heard something in the tone rater than in the words though these were mingled with horrid profanity which conveyed to his mind the impression that the newcomers were men with whom he did not care to scrape an acquaintance neither did he like to go out into the Strom and so he quietly glided back into- tlx little 'lean-to' that formed the other part of the i j l.i u: if iiuusv, uuu I'uncu mmseii up ogaiusn i" logs. In a moment more he perceived that three men had taken possession of his late quarters; and he lay as still as a mouse, while they continued a discussion which had evidently bceo interrupted by the

away, Here 'tis, let s fill up and take a look round. 'Thus far Patrick had looked with breathless interest, while his mind teemed with horrid visions of robbery and murder. As we have said, he was by no means lacking in sharpness and the reference to the valise had not been by any means reassuring. 'Ilowly Mother! how did they iver know I was coming over wid tho portmsnty? l d lis to Know mat. negorran, i a uet-i ter have turned back before 1 iver come! An' what's a dollar to pay for bein murdered?' Patrick's thoughts were troubling the very soul within him, when he heard what was said about the lantern, and it needed no one to teil him that his only safety j Tl from discovery was in retreat. There was some little noise and loud talking in the other room, not to speak of the rain on the roof, and Patrick had no difficulty in escaping unheard. Once clear of the house, he made a clean run of it for a couple of hundred yards, stumbling over logs, tearing through briers, but sticking faithfully to the valise. Meantime the three robbers had probably been fiili nr; the lamp of their dark lantern; and just as Patrick reached the edge of the woods, in the cover of whose darkness ho knew he would be safe, he turned and strained his eyes in the direction of the log house. As he did so, a faint, glimmer of light came out through the chinks and crannies. 'Sthrjkin a match,' muttered Patrick. Bad luck to that same for sending mo out into the wet! 7owly Mother! what's that?' While Patrick had been speaking, the light had r-aincd somewhat in strength, as if the match was blazing higher; but as lie uttered' his concluding exclamation, there came a sudden, blinding flash, equal to many lightnings, and then a dull and stunning sound, as of soma mighty explosion, followed by the crashing sonnds of heavy bodies falling among the tops near him, breaking their way through the brunches. Patrick waited for no more, but. found the ro-id as quickly as possible, and made double quick lime for the village, regardless of the rain. When, less than half an hour afterward, the breathless Irishman with his preecious burden, dripping with water, entered the door of the suporintendent's office in tho village, he heard that gentleman remark: 'What did you say, Jordan?' 'Why,' replied the 'boss,' with an anxious, tone; 'some fool has broken my desk open and stole a can of nitro-glyccrine, and I'm afraid mischief will come of it:' 'Pivil a fear,' interrupted Patrick; 'sorra mischief was done by that same. Ownly we'll hive to search the wood wid dogs to foind enough of 'em for a daeint wake, or I'm mishtaken.' The explanation which followed left little room for doubt; and a subsequent investigation left less; but, as Patrick had surmised, there was very little occasion for a 'wake.' The contractor jrot in all right, the men were paid, the road was built, and the t moral of mv storv is: It you steal nitro glycerine don't fill lamps with it, if you mean to light them yourself. Directions for Preparing Disinfectants. The Chemical Society of Berlin has published a list of the most improved disinfectants and the degree of concentration in which to apply them. The following list is useful for reference: Permanganate of Potash One part of the pure salt dissolved in 100 parts cf water. Where the etude material is used, 3 to 10 parts of it to 100 of water will suffice. This disinfectant acts upon liquids, and his little effect on solids. Carbolic Acid Water Is obtained by dissolving 1 part cf the pure crystalized , . . J. ? . inn Crupe carbolic acid oOght to be rupe taken in double the quantity. Carbolic Acid Powder. Is prepared by mixing 100 parts beat, gypsum, earth, gaud, sawdust, or charcoal powder, . with one part carbolic acid, iu water. Double the quantity of the crude acid must be taken. Carbolic Acid Wash Mix 1 part carjbolic acid with 100 parts milk oflime. Chloride of Lime One part in 100 parts water.

BROOK VILLE, IND., FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1871.

I Miss Briggs' Enemy. Mr. R. Perry was an old bachelor, and Mi Briggs was an old maid. He lived in the brick houe on the hill, and she lived ia the cottage opposite, an 1 they were mortal enemies. He despised her because she kept a canary and two cats, and she hated him for his affection for a huge mastiff and a knock-kneed horse. 'Why on i earth the man don't get a decent horse is more than I can imagine!' she would say, as he plodded up to the door. 'I believe he is too mean and miserly to buy one.' Miss Briggs would hardly have felt pleased had she known that Mr. Perry rode back and forward on this old, wornout piece of horse-flesh, merely for the purpose of annoying her. They never, spoke but yet managed to keep up a perfect warfare, by disagreeable manners and wrathful glances. ui3 head, received and paid tbem back with interest His detestable dog came over and ran through her garden, destroying all her beautiful tulips and hyacinths, and she gave him a hot bath which sent him howling to his master, and when said master remonstrated, sent word that she would treat him worse next timo. Her little red cow broke throucrh his enclosure and devoured his turnins and n,,hhnr nnii h id h Vinmo n,i in formed Miss Briggs that a second offonco would give her a comfortable pasture in the pound. For two years they lived and fought, and no one could bring about peace between them. If. was a nitty the neighbors all say .for i;S3 Bri was a dear little soul, . c- . ' and there was not a liner man in the country than Mr. Perry.' 'Julia my love,' 6iys Mrs. Perkins, one ! afternoon, as she eutered the cosy parlor. '1 am going to have a party, and I want you to come down in the afternoon to tea, and remain during the evening. Every one will be there.' 'Will that old bachelor over the way be there.' 'Mr. Terry? Oh, yes! We coulden't get along without him.' 'Then that settles the matter. I shan't go.' 'Now, J alia, don't be so foolish. If you remain at home he will think that you are afraid of him.' Miss Briggs thought the matter over. Well it would look a little like it, and she would not have him think so for the world the conceited wretch! Mrs. Perkins went home, and it was arranged that Miss Briggs was to spend the afternoon, and remain for the party. She was a pretty little woman, and it was always a puzzle to every one why she never married. She had a round, rosy face, e'eur brown eyes, beautiful hair aud a sweet mouth, and, although past thirty, there was not a smarter woman in town. She stoid before the gilt framed mirroa in the little chamber, and fastened her lace collar over the neck of her maroon colored dress with a plain gold brooch, and began to think she looked very well. There was a blight healthy flush upon her cheek, and her eyes were full of light aud beauty. She waiked into Mrs. Perkins' sittingroom, and found that lady awaiting her with a smiling face. She thought she must be in a very good humor, but said nothing, allowing the good lady to smile as long and as pleasantly as ske wished. She understood it all when supper time came, and Mrs. Perking enterel, followed by Mr. Perry. This was a well laid plan to make the two become menus. Miss Briggs bit her lips, and inwardly vowed tint nothing should tempt her to give 'that man' her hand in friendship. She hated him. He wus.p!aced directly opposite her at the table, and many times forced to pass the biscuit, cakes or preserves, and Miss Briggs accepted them, although she declared to Mrs. Perkins aitet supper that they nearly choked her. Befote evening they boih were porsuatlj ed to overlook the horse and cow difficulty, and be civil, and Miss Briggs was j frighter.cd when she fcuud herself talking to him Willi ease and pleasant lamiliaiity. The party was a success, and although the sports were generally monopolized by the younger portion, they found room for the oM maid au.d her enemy, and several times she found herself doing the most ridiculous things in the way of paying forfeits. At the end of the evening Miss Briggs was at the door ready to depart when called. Miss Briggs, 1 am going right up your way. Will you ride?' Would she ride, and behind that old horse and beside that detestable man? She was wondering whether she would or not, when Mrs. Perkins came and triumphant ly led her out, and packed he into the carriage. It was as dark as pitch, and they had to let the horse go his own way, and find it the best he could. Ho did very well until thev reached the cottage, and then ho was bewildered. Mr. Perry spoke, jerked the reins, but to no purpose. He then took out the whip. Whether his nature disliked of the article, or the memories of the indignities he had suffered from the hands of the owner of the cottage overcame him, it is hard lo decide, but at all events he kicked up his heels, ran a few rods and fell, overturning the buggy sad its 'precious eontents. Miss Briggs was up in a moment, unharmed, but Mr. Perry was as silent as the grave. She ran shouting through the darkuess, until Mr. Perry's 'help' came out to her assistance. They found the man half dead beneath the carriage, and while Dan was at work, Miss Brigg9 ran home fjr her servant. After much hard

labor they succeeded in extricating him from the wreck; but he was senseless, and they bore him home, and sent for the village doctor. Upon examination they found his leg to be broken, and thus Miss Briargs' enemy waat her mercy. The days and weeks that followed were dreadful ones to the poor sufferer, but Miss Briggs never left him. Day and night she stood beside him, and her little plump hand administered to every want. He forgot the cow and his turnips. He forgot the cats and canary. lie only saw a little pa'ient woman, with a pretty josy

tace. trim njure and tender hands, and would you believe it? He fell in love with her! How could he help it? She had sat by him through the long weary days of pain, she had brought him her preserves, her wine and nice invigorating cordials; she had made him blano mange and delicate custards, and in all probability saved his life. What could he do? Nothing bat fall in love. 'Miss Briggs!' he said one day, when he was ab'e to Bit up. 'Weil, 3tr. Perry!' 'You have been very good to me, and I feel as though I owed you a great deal.' 'There, now, stop right where you are. You owe me nothing. 'But would you mind if I trespassed a little further on your good nature?' 'Not at all.' 'Well, Miss Briggs, will you take me in charge for the rest of my natural life?' 'Whatl' 'Will you marry me? There!' Miss Briggs blushed, and her answer came thus: 'I will marry you.' There was a wedding a few weeks later, and Mrs. Perkins prepared the wedding supper. Mr. and Mrs Perry live in the rented whonte brick to a Mrs. house, and the cottage is young man and his wife, to Perry bequeathed her cat and canary.' The mastiff and knoek-kneed old horse are with their forefathers. General Sam. Houston's Wedding Secret. The most singular incident in the eventful life of Sam. Houston, and one never hitherto explained was his abandonment of the (J overnorship oi' Tennessee only three days after marrying a young wife. He became a voluntary exile among tbe Indians of tho plains for years thereafter, was made a great chief, and only reappeared in public life when Texas was struggling for independence. The Galveston News lifts the vail from the secret chamber of Houston's heart by this strange narration: What we know about this matter is so honorable to him that we shall, for the first time, put it in print. We may premise that our information is derived indirectly from one now deceased, who, during her life, had a right to know what caused that strange episode in the life of the great man. Governor Houston's first bride was a Tennessee belle of surpassing beauty, and of considerable social rank. She was, if not the affiance bride, at least the sweetheart Of a neighboring gentleman, when Governor Houston sought her hand. Her family being very ambitious, forced the match, and she was married. After retiring to her bridal chamber, her deportment was such as to cause him to suspect that while her hand was his, her heart was another's. She confessed the truth when interrogated, and while promising fidelity and wifely duty, declared herself unable to love him. He at once retired from the house, leaving his bride as pure and spotless as ever. He then resigned his position and went, among the Comanches. In duo course of time the lady sought and -obtained a divorce. Instruction in Music. Somebody s wii tea this musical catech ism: What is a slut?' 'Almost any remark one singer makes about another.' - 'What is rest?' 'Going out of a choir during sermon time. for refreshments 'What is called 'sin tgtns wttn an understandi ng?' Making the time on the floor with your feet.' 'What is a staccato movement?' 'Leaving; the choir in n huff, because one is dissatisfied with the leader. What is a swell?' A professor of music, who pretends to know everything about the science, while ho can not conceal his ignorance. It is related that a bording-house keeper. in Arkansas was once disturbed by a reporthat his boarders were mutinous because of the too frequent appearance of hash on the breakf s-table. Accordingly he descended to breakfast the next morning, laid one portentous horse pistol on each side of hi9 plate at the head df the table, and said: 'Any gentleman who says he don't like hash. lies. Mr. Brown,' he continued, turning to the nearest border, 'will you take hash? i - Appended to a marriage notice in a Maine paper a few days ago appeared these explanatory remarks: "No cards, no cake, nobody's business.

Prog Story. The Lou'uville Courier Journal tell the following good one: A man named .southworth, living in lower East Tennessee, has just ejected from his stomach a frog which had been living there for fifteen years. 'Mr. Southworth has had a great deal of trouble with that frog. It used to begin to croak at the most unreasonable hours. When Southworth would go to church, for instance, the frog would remtio quiet until the congregation engaged in silent prayer, and then it would set up such a terriGc p'owI th th.e sex,ton wou,,d ru"h in and coiiar ooutnworth. and drag Iiini out t,t quiet down in the graveyard. Sometimes the frog would give a nocturnal serenade after Southworth was fast asleep in bed, and then Southworth would rise, as mad j as anything, and seize tho stomach-pump ana try to draw t lie frog up. Uut the subtile reptle had had that trick played on it too often during those fifteen years, and it always shinned up the tube a piece, out of the -draught, and waited until Southworth exhausted himself. Southworth never fooled that frog a great deal. And when frogs were in season. Southworth wotiid fish for this one with a flv; but it always refused to rise, and the fly buzzed around so in Southworth's nlimen. tary canal that it nearly tickled Southworth to death. So Southworth had to wait until the other day, when the frog thought it would come up and go and see a friend; and when it did come Sothworth killed it with a fork. lie says the frog j used to eat twice as much as he did; but we have been thinking it over, and it seems to us the statement must bo exaggerated somehow.'

Ten years ago (April 12) the rebellion was openly inaugurated by the attack on Fort Sumter. Tho momentous events of the decade just closed will make this period ever memorable in our nation's history! and it is specially important, in the present condition of affiirs, to clearly understand the character of the civil war then begun the issues presented and settled, and tb.3 elements of disturbance which yet remain and which, in somo degree, threaten a recurrence of I ho djys ef darkness and of blood. The alarming prevalence of crime in' the Southern States, the ill-suppressed treasonable utterances of thousands of tbe former rcbo's, the denial that organized mobs exist, and the redy excuses offered tor Ivu- Klux outrages indicate a condition of affairs which, viewed in the light of 1801, can but call out feelings of serious concern. If to this actuil condition ia the South we add the swift and earnest defense which all this crime and incipient treason receives from the present leaders of the Democratic party in the North, we may gravely question wheaiher we are net already on tho borders of a new and more bloody rebellion. Tho Democratic utterances of 1S71 hav a most remjikab'e resemblance to the tiH teranecs of those iu 1SG1, who became the chiefest of traitors meri who, like the present leaders, had till then stood at th front ef the Democratic party men whor had a most holy horror of coercion and ft most righteous indignation against infractions of sacred rights guaranteed bv the Constitution and yet, withal, men whoy even then, in secret, with most devilish hate, were plotting tho ntire destruction of our national fabric, that out of its ruins they might erect a new nation ef lorda and slaves. These words may seem harsh to those who prefer even now to talk of conciliatory measures rather than the prompt suppress siott of crime by efficient laws, bat the anniversary of Sumter stirs anew the bloo & of 'Glt and we have to-day no apologies for the hypocrisy and treason of the past nor tho similar hypocrisy of the present. During the session of Congress in 186i John C Breckinridge used the following language. (See Globe, page 2G1): I do not consider that tho rupture which look placa in the harbor ot Charleston, the fil ing upon I he S ar of the Wost, and the col-" liion at Fort S im'er, justified the proceedings which look place upon tbe prt of ihe President of ihe United S a'es, that have made one1 blaze of war from tha Atlantic to iho Western1 borders of lh republic. I do not bfdeive lliat be hnl a right to tak that e'ep which produced ibis war, aid lo calf under executive au'hority alone, lha largest armies into ihe field ever assembled ou the continent, and the largest fleet ever collected' in American harbors. 1 believe that after that difficulty, which wa then a local one, there aas still an opportunity for considerate and thoughtful men, whiV desired to preserve the Constitution and tho Union of their country, in the border alaveho'ding States and in the conservative portion of i lie Northern S:utes, to meditate and pro-' duce a settlement, and il might have been done but for the President of the Uoiied S:ates" and his constitutional advisers. I believe tha, fust, the gentlemen who reprrsnt ihe majority of this Chamber and tbe' House of Representative were responsible for' (lie Imhire to produce a just and reasonable seltle.-neii'; and, secondly, the President of ihe' Uuiud S a'es is chit fly respousible for ta broad general ar upon us. This delicious extract from a speech of a leading traitor is not made to begin anew' the discussion of who were responsible for the war, but to show the liue of t ictics of the opponents of law and order in 1SGF, and to comp.iro it with the Democratio: arguments of 1871. The speech of Breckinridge was madj' in (he Senate J uly 23'h, aud lha rebel1 goes oa f urther t i declare that 'the conduct of tho war up to this time has not been char :ctcr:s-2d by any purpose to maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, on thecontrary, it has been trampled under foot'in every step of ins procedure. In opp-is-in-r the wr. I think I am renresenting he! rf 1C n L- v A j o fYin'l n f in trcountry, us a Senator (Vonj t'e StatO' f Kentucky, a nil ns a philanthropist, I atu against ibis war. The isn! for 187- are no w hei ng made' up, and if the prcs"!! leaders of the Deaii ocracv continue ih'j'r leadership for twelve n;o:rh these issues arc ihe same athose of I SGI. The llepubliein parfv has no desire to make Ihe campaign of 72 on thests issaei,. but it they are, hs now iudieateJ, to be forced forward agiiu, we ucejp, and are1 ready again to reconquer by tbe ballot' the true principle f the Union, the Con--sfitution and the ls-v wherever aBd by, wh'iiiicsoevor opposed. Ti;o ppirit tint affirms (lie wnt f -f ' power in the Constitution t. Suppress Iviif Ivluxin.i is the same spirit which discoursed so flippantly of State rights,, coercion and seee-sion in 1SGI. The Ilepublii-an pirty was the TTuiom tiarfv then, ar.d its distinctive uiu-iion will not be completed until the tru prin--cip'es of iudissolubilliiy are abjjlutely accepted by ail the people. In this p-.rty diSjrcnces of opinioa have existed, and yet exist, on minor questions,, but on the g;eat issues of 'Gl, now renewed by our opponents, there is uo divisionof sentiment. Against disunion movements nov, ni ever, (he ll'-puhlieau party enters the tif f j campaign in s-olid phalanx, and- with tb i . i old rallying ery of the Union, the Consti-- ' I tution an'd ihe enforcement o- the laws,. will move forward to other vij'ories.
