TUE EMIGRANT LA83IE. BT JOHN STUART BLACK.IK, From oodj Words. Ih following lines contain the simple unadorned sratement of a fact in tbo experience of a friend, who is fond of wandering in the Highland glena. As Icame indering down Ulen Spean. where the braces are green and graasyt With my light step 1 overtook A wear y-iootod lassie. ! . fche had one bändle on her back, ' Another in her hand. And she walked aa one who was full loath.

To travel from the land. Quoth 1: "Mybonnielass!' for she ' Had hair of flowing gold. And dara brown eye, and dalntly limbs, .Right pleasant to behold Mybonnlelass, what alleth thee, Ou this bright summer day; To travel sad and shoeless thus " ' ' Upon the stony way? '. "I'm fresh and strong, and stoudly fchod. And thou art burdened so; March llgntly new, and let me bear ' The bandies as we go." "No, no!" she said, "that may not be.' What's mine la mine to bear; Of good or ill. as Uod may will, I lake my portioned bare." "But you have two, and I have none ; One burden give to me; I'll take that bundle from thy back That heavier seems to be." "No, no!" she said; "this, if you will, That holds no nand but mine .May bear Its weight from dar Ulen-Spean Cross the Atlantic brine!" "Well, well ! but tell me what may be Within that precious load "'hlch tnou dost bear with buch fine care Along thedusty road? Belike it Is some present rare From friend in parting hour: Perhaps, as prudent maidens' wont. Thou lafc'st with thee thy dower." She dropped her head, and with her hand he gave a mournful wave: "Oh, do not Jest, dear sir! it is Turf from my mother's grave!" I spoke no word : we sat and wept By the roadside together; 2o purer dew on that bright day W as dropt upon the heaiher. ABOUT WOMEN. Miss Julia Griffin is putting up :i bust of Gov. Tilden, at her studio, 6 Ast-r Place, New York. Mrs. Isabella Beecher IIoker baa been chosen . president of the Connecticut Womau Suffrage Association for the coming year. Miss Carrie Clark is express agent at Northampton, Mass. She performs her duties Well, and nature seems to have expressly designed her for that vocation. A Newark lass, becoming annoyed at the attentions of a young divinity student, told him that he looked sappy enough to be the principal of a girU seminary. Lieutenant Colonel and Mrs. Fred. D. Grant are to spend next summer at Long Branch, if the reported lease of one of the Seligmau cottages for their occupancy is true. Adelaide Neilson says the stories that she has sometimes been naughty are all untrne. We think so if Ade says so, for she 13 too pretty to be disputed with. Virginia Enterprise. A Boston girl advertises herself as 16 and pretty, and adds that if any gentleman will enable ber to obtain a first-class education she will put herself entirely at his disposal the day she graduates. Philadelphia ladies protest against the desecration of the sidewalk with saliva. They claim that the Inalienable right of the A merlcan man to spit does not extend be,y ond tho tb.es.ter, the church and the gutter. Of all the women who served In the war in various capacities only one wna pensioned for physical disabilities Mm. Isabella Fogg.ot Maine, who was seriously injured by a tall in Louisville while engaged lu hospital work. She died in .Washington last summer. A young married woman by the name of Clara Ruth, of Wyoming, Ohio, was lately detected in pi9sing fraudulent money in Cincinnati. This she did by pasting the 10"of a tobacco revenue stamp over the figure "one" on a bill. After detection she asked lor poteon that she might, take her life. ' "Kate" writes from Brooklyn for the purpose of advising gentlemen to study the ait of sitting gracefully in a chair. She says that most men seem to be at war with their lower limbs when in the. company of ladies, and betray a consciousness ot awkwardness by constantly changing position. Bayard Taylor pays this just tributo to the robust iousneäs ot California children: "Nowhere can more rosy specimens of health and beauty be found. Strong-limbed, red blooded, graceful, and as full of happy, animal life as voung lawns, they bid fair to develop into admirable types of manhood and womanhood." A Syracuse girl declined to engago herself to the object of her affections until hU father bad given her a written guarantee that his son was not only sound "in wind and limb," but of good morals, senile and warranted to behave in both ''single and double harness." That girl did not intend to be seen in a divorce court. There lives in the vicinity of Hanover a girl of such exquisite beauty that people come from long distances just to get a peep at her. But unfortunately she has an Incurable passion for banting skunks, and a close approach to her person is far from agreeable. She makes money out of her strange avocation, however, having sent 9G2 skins to the Boston market last year. Miss Carries. Burnham, who baa been studying law for three years in Philadelphia, presented her .application before the board of lawyers of that city the other. day, for the usual examination and admission to the bar. The board declined to receive her application, as they could find no precedent for it, but promised to lay the matter before the court. Miss Eleanor Blenkhorn, a schoolmistress living near Sheffield, England, haa obtained from a jury a verdjet for JC(iOO against Mr. Minnett, a farmer, for breach of promise of marriage, lie had courted her for ten years, and. at length, when some pecuniary mis fortune had overtaken her, broke off tho enzazement, and wrote to her to say he thouzht she would not make a farmer's wite. At the late meeting of tho National Woman Suffrage Convention iu Washing ton there were three lady attorneys on the pla'.f jrtft: Phoebe Cousins, of St. Louis, Carrio S. Bamham, of Philadelphia, asi Lavinia C. Dundore. of Baltimore, tesides three very successful lady physicians Clemecce S. Lozier, of New York, Dr. Susan A. Elson and Dr. Caroline B. Wiuslosv, ot Washington. A society has been formed ia IhU city for the "advancement of the medical education of women. The ol f ?ct is a worthy ci:c, for if women are to bo educate J at all lox phyJ

clans, thev should receive the best. Dr.

Marv Putnam -acobi is president, Robert B. Roosevelt, treasurer, and Dr. Emily RlarkwAiK Ir. William II. Thompson. Mrs Jennie Crolv. and Mrs. Laura Curtis Bullard are vice presidents. Home Journal. The Rev., Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, one of the most popular and distinguished di inea of the Presbyterian church in the South, lectured Saturdav nlzht at the Con cordia Opera House on "Conversation." He said that to woman belonged the power of elevating conversation, and said "slang" should pot be tolerated, especially in the conversation of women, particularly those who have the formation of coaracters in children. Baltimore Sun. Mrs. Watscn, wife of Trof." Watson, o Michigan University, is probably the only woman who enjoyed the privilege of going on the transit expedition from the United States. She had a long journey. First, there was an overland journey to ban I- rancisco. and then a voyage, lasting twenty-six days, to Yokohama, a lour days' sail to Nagasaki, and aaotber of six days to Tien-tsin. Then followed a voyage up the river on small house-boats to Tunc; Chang, and finally a donkey ride of sixteen miles to re ting. A CAREER OF CRIME. A CRIMINAL WHO HAS ESCAPED JCfTICK FOR YEARS HIS ACCOMPLICES FROM THIS STATE A LONG COURSE OF CRIME. The Chicago Times of the 16th inst. gives I to facts as follows of a notorious criminal: A career of crime almost unparalleled was concluded yesterday in the conviction, out of his own mouth, of James Rittenhouse. He has been identified with criminal, records and bailiff' orders time out mind, aad he has enacted the role of a cracksman or coneyman in all the slates, in many yet answerable for th lawbe has violated and whose penalties he has thus far evadeo. On the 2d of December ult., an officer of the government secret service, en route hence to the southern portion of the state, by the Chicago, Burlington A Quinty road, recognized in the decrepit form and aged look of a lellow-oassenger the ' features of the prisoner for whom his predecessors in of fice have - Ions been in search. When the train reached Aurora, a country town In the interior ol this state, the detec tive effected the arrest, and returned with him to Chicago. Unable for one to furnish tho required security, he was lodged iu jail, and leit to commune with himself until the actiou of the grand jury transferred the Jur isdiction ot the caso to the district court. He engaged the services cf an attorney, and promised to fight anew the battle he had previously won, and fed himself on the hope of a spoedy deliverance from the toils of a law he had ! SO OFTEN OUTRAGED. His advocate was chosen to a state office at tbo last election, and when his case was called, on Monday last, he appeared in court manacled and deserted. Time was afforded him to procure counsel, and his prosecution temporarily delayed. Yesterday morning his case was again called, and the old man, tottering with age and verging on hopeless ness, rose lrom his place between two marshals, and renewed his appeal for a continuance. The motion was discussed and considered for a short time, but finally resulting in a denial. the accusod. who had borne up bravely, if tu term might be allowed in connection with crime, succumbed to the logic of fte, pleaded guilty to the charge ot dealing in counterfeit money, and invoked the clemency of the court. He was remanded to jail nntil doomsday shall announce his punishment, when he will be committed to Joliet, there to remain, in all probability, until another summons shall canse him to plead in the court from whose decision there is no appeal. Since his arrest ' ''A NOTORIOUS PARTICErS of the prisoner, Pete McCartney, was arretted iu St. Louis, where his confinement at the Four Courts is accompanied by that of the wife and brother of Rittenhouse, and it is believed that he was journeying thither himself to engage in the nefarious plet they were dst6ct J In. His crimes, In augurated years ago, was committed in the Southern part of Indiana, where a gang, con sisting of himseir, the Keno brothers, Dan Cummings, Mike Rogers, and others had a rendezvous from ' which they salHe I forth to prey on the community. Sacking towns indifferently defended, robbing bauks, blowing sales and raiding expreas messengers in transitu, were adeds that electrified the advocates of law and order, by these felons committed. Finally, be coming objects of the well-directed efforts of vicilantes, they were put to tlizbt, not, how ever, till the Reno boys had been gibbeted, in the darkness 01 night, lrom a tree in au adjacent forest, and the remainder of the car rion ctew. escaping by fortuitous circumstan ces, wandered off, separately, only to be re united for tho commission 01 similar crimes. JLater in life, he, in coni unction with others of a like kidney, robbed the safe of Trueth fc Jacks, at Chillicothe, in this täte, where they succeeded in securing a large amount, and fled. Subsequently he was ludicted for felony at Cincinnati, but, being the possessor of money, he gave bail. When his case was called he failed to re spond, and the trustee of his person was mulcted on the bond. In ibbs, he, In company with Mike Rogers, Miles Ogle, alias the count, and A PAL FROM INDIANAPOLIS, started on a foraging tour through Iowa, leaviug their mark in every quiet hamlet and mere populous town through which they passed. They spared none in their venture. -The poor man's cottage and moro pretentious abode of the wealthy were, in turn, made to pay tribute. They obtained a very large amount. Including the contents of two sales made the depositories of county taxes, and, after attracting the united pursuit of their victims, fled to Canada. For two years they remained numbered among tha citizens of her majesty's dominions, plying their vocations ana escaping punishment. At the expiration of this time, Rittenbouse returned to the states and soon after became involved In crime at Detroit; was arrested and indicted; after which the drama was played in the absence ot the hero, lor, when wanted, it was discovered that he had demoralized the confidence of the Detroit citizons in the same' manner he bad deceived the primitive and credulous citizens of the "(Jueen city." kWben arrested, some )00 in counterieit money was found on his person, which, though well executed and calculated to deceive, were but illustrated evidences of bis guilt. He re -.id cs ia Osgood, Ind., where bis wife and children comforted him until her artest, and ho is worth upwards of 40,000. lie has long leen known to the pjlice of prominent cities froaa the Pacific coast to tho itulf, but thus far has eluded all tffirt at convicticn. lie has, in company with Peter McCarthy, been a leading spirit among tho band- ot outlaws that have infested the Webt, and his home, a refuge tor punned convicts, has scarcely ever been tenantles?. At au ae whon man is wont to look t j futurity as a haveu of rest, bowed down with age and the weight of crime, he contemplates an inhospitable cell in the state penitentiary, from which he will, in all probability, emerge licallv, clasped iu tho ! embrace cf death.

WHAT IS A NEWS PAPER T To the question from a child, "What is a newspaper?" the Dublin GenertJ Advertiser

gives the following reply: Organs that gentlemen play To answer the tastes of the day, Whatever it be,' They bit on the key. And pipe in full concert away. News from all countries and climes. Advertisements, essays and rhymes, Mixed np with all sorts Of (f) lying reports, And published at regular times. Articles able and wise, At least in the editor' eyes. And logio so grand That few understand To what in the world it applies. . Statistics, reflections, reviews. Little scraps to Instruct and amuse, And lengthy debate Upon matters of state. For wise headed folks to peruse. And funds as they were and are. And quibbles and quirks of the bar, And every week, A clever critique On some rising theatrical star. The ages of Jupiter's moons. The stealing or somebody's ttpoons. The state of the crops. The style of the fops, . And the wit of the public buffoons. List of all physical ills banished by somebody's pills; Till you ask with surprise Why anyone dies. Or what's the disorder that kills. Who has got married, to whom ; Who were cut offin their bloom, Who has had birth Ou the sorrow-stained earth Who totters fast to the tomb. The prices of cattle and grain, Directions to dig and to drain; But 'twould take me tco leng To tell you In song A quarter of what t f.ey contain. QUEER CLASS, COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS. THE MEN OF THE GUILD WHO LATELY MET AT SYRACUSE PASSING THE TIME Oil THE RAILROAD L1FK AT THE HOTELS 8ALAR IES PAID. The New York Sun gives a good descrip tion of the class known as commercial travelers, apropos of a late convention of the members at Svracuse. "Off again," I said to a well dressed man hurrying along wi:h a traveling bag in one hand and a shawl In another. "Where aro you bound now? ' lie was a commercial traveler, and worked for one of the largest houses in the city. "Yes," he replied cheerily, "I'm off again; I'm always off and never on. I don't know my own wife. One of these days I'm going to stay at borne long enough to get ac quainted with her, if I can. She seems tobe a nice kind of a woman. I've got to catch the train at Forty-second street in an hour; lump on the car and go alittie way with a fellow, can't your mars trie only way 1 can say how d'ye do to my friends." I did as be requested, following the biblical injunction, "If a man compel you to go a mile, go with him twain." "This Is a queer sort of life you lead," I said, on being seated. "Don't you enjoy going about seeing the country, living at firstclass hotels, riding in palace cars, smoking the best cigars flirting with all the pretty girls you mot, and, in a word, making a long -pree of lifa all at other people's expense? Seems to me a com nercial traveler has a mightv easy berth of it. I'd like to be one myself ?" He listened to all I said with an amused twinkle in his eye, and replied: "Well! now it is stranze that about every man outside of the business bas just exactly your idea of it which is just exactlj the wrong one. There never was a more incorrect idea of the duties and animus of commercial travelers than the popular one. Why man alive!" he said, spiritedly, "you mustn't suppose tbe merchants of New York aro idiots, or that they lose sight of us the moment we leave the store. Thev know all about U3, and we know thr.t they know it, and take care that tbey shan't know any barm of us." SELLING GOODS. "Our calling is our bread and butter, and we have to earn it by the hardest kind of labor. You needn't laugh, it is so. Business of all kinds nowadays is done by actual personal representation and solicitation. A merchant has certain kinds of goods which he puts on the market; ha advertises them fully, and then follows up his advertisements by his travelers and rakes iu all he can. Commercial travelers are more numerous to-day in all lines than ever before. Whyevr you see a smart, active man going from stoie to store in suburbau cities talking with the propri-l etor confidentially, and producing a memo randum book in which he makes notes from time to time, that man is a commercial tourist, as we call ourselves far fun. and is doing as much business in his way for bis house as thev do lor themselves, no nrm can get along without them. Some have 20 travelers scouring tne country at the arae time, and others have two or three, according to their liue and extent ot trade. You snoke ot our seeing the country, that I You'd laugh if I told never saw Niagara Falis until I was 35 years I bad been within two hundreds-of times! It is so, time. At last I was ashamed you in my lifa eld, though miles of it I never bad of it and absolutelv took a day. and wrote the bouse I wa going there on ä spree. I went there and stayed a couple of hours, aud happening to think of a man I wanted to see in Buffalo took the first train for that city, and let tbe falls go to pat; fact is when I am on business I can't take an jg pleasure in fun. I scarcely know one placo from" another, except by the busicoss hp uses in them, and as for scenery the finest scene I know ot is a merchant calling at your hotel two or three times before you arrive wanting to know it you haven't come yet, 80 be can buy a bill ot goods of you. HOW THEY LIVE. 'We do stop at first-class hotels, and we always get just as good accommodations as there are in the bouse. Why 7 Because we pay our bills; because we are the biggest kind of walking advertisement for a hotel, and the men who know how to keep one understand the fact. We can send hundreds of dollars' worth of business to a hotel or drive hundreds away Jrotn it, simply by reporting to each other bow we are treated. We get together in smoking cars and in our rooms nights, and detail every mean act or petty extortion, and you bet that landlord don't make any millions by crowding! some of us have our regular rooms best family rooms, too, we occupy every month for 3'ears, and we always get them, every time, no matter who is in them. Tub head waiter knows 113 like a book, and so do the boys; and you bet we don't get nv tenderloin s leaks or broiiod cLickens or birds and things! Oh no! they ain't lor us! Certain towns are celebrated far their mead hotels. Providence, It. 1., was until a few years eince; tho meanest of all mean houses, ei?ht or nine years apo, was the City Hotel. For a place of 80,000 inhabitants, it used to 1)3 a wonder to us why auch a hole was in existence; but it was the only one in town, aad wo had to go to it. The boys so they used to do their fcusiceaa üpiu a day, aal then go

to Boston, 50 miles off, and stay rather than sleep In the town. I believe It is better now. It makes a mighty sight of difference to a man who works 12 or 14 hours a day, as we do, talking and walking all the time, what kind of fare he gets; he can't have any too good, and a sensible firm knows It. How is a man to have any spunk or spirit in him after riding, say 500 miles, a week, and talking all the time, except when he's asleep, if he is disturbed by bugs or fed oa bull beet and slops generally? He can't do it. Can't ride 500 miles a week and do any business! Young man, we work all day and ride all night. That's the .way we do it, except in big towns, like Buffalo and Chicago; there, of course, its different. SAMPLES AND EXPENSES. "Samples! yes, of course we carry samples; some of us have half a dozen big trunks full of 'em ; regular store in itself to lug around. Dry goods, hats, boot and shoe men, all have 'em. and at the end of their trips tbey sell tbe lot for what they can get to some Cheap John trunks and all; unless they are sample trunks made on purpose for their business. Some have samples thev carry in hand, and those are the worst of all. Cutlery men catch it heavy on these. They ain't heavy enough to put iu the baggage car, but they have to be toted round from store to 6tore; weigh twenty-five pounds, some of 'em. You take one of them, carry it all day in a country town or city, talk all the while, and perhaps make no sales after all find some chap has been

aneaa or you and done it all for you. and when it comes night, it you don't feel tired you're a horse, that's all. "Big bill of expenses! Well, that depends on wnere and now you travel, in the East ern states, where distances are short and hotel charges small in the towns, the ex penhes are very slim; 22 75 to 84 a day. un less yon hire a horse too often, covers it alL Dutwneuyou get to lioston or .rniiaaeipnia, or go West, the scene changes, and you can't ko decently for less than $o and ?8 per day lor legitimate outlay. That's what it will cost day in and day out. For five years my account, furnished in detail, from New York to.Chicago, not stop ping at every little town, but only at big places on the New York Central, like Srracuse, Utica, Rome, Rocbefcter.etc., was ?6 1)0 per day, exclusive or salary of course. 'En tertainiug customers' covers a multitude of sins, and there's tots ot fellers spend S3 and 4 a day in this way, but the customers don't get much 01 it. Common sense tells a man or a house that a traveler must have a lhuuderintc trade to spend so much every day told our loits that 11 they round any items for whisky or cigars in my bill to charge it to my account, and as for entertaining cus tomers, 1 don't havo to buy my trale make it lair and square; they pay me for the goods, and that settles it. I want my head clear, not full of whisky and tobacco if 1 am going to travel. SALARIES. " What do we get? Oh, certainly that's a fair question; no offanse whatever. We get just what we are worth, like every other man in tbe world. Our salaries vary from 800 per year and expenses to $-5,000 and ditto. For me, I get f3,G0O, which is lair I consider, though I earn every cent of it. My house Is a eood one to work for. that's one comfort. They never write me scolding letters, blowing me np when 1 have done my best, but they say, 'Mr. Jinks, you have cad a bard trip this time; better go home for few days and see your wile, and then come back and try it again.' I can't keep away from the store two days at a time though. We represent the houv, yoa know, away from home, and shrewd merchants take care that their representatives shall be worthy of them. Why, many a big bouse In this city depends more upon its travelers than upon its partners for trade and sagacious conducting ot it, aud If they lose them would be in a box. 1 have kuown travelers to stand by a concern, voluntarily accept a reduction of salary, cut their expenses all they could decently, and work hard when they knew thehoue was in a tight place, and t!?eir efforts were in no small degree contributive to final success. UNTRUSTWORTHY TRAVELERS. "Black sheep in the business! Certainly there are; just as many an In any other profession; and they make so much noise, livo so much In the public eye, that they get the whole of us a trad name sometimes, but that effects us very liitle. Tbey don't get far; their career is soon terminated. 'I be telegraph is too long now-a-days aud reaches too far for a man to cut up many, didoes. First th.nz he knows, in one of bis drunken spree3, somenody telegraphs or writes to nis folks that their traveler babeen diunk about town tor five or six days, and they had better get him home, which they do do mighty quick. Then again there are men who fcinouch fifteen or twenty dollars1 a week by representing tbey havo been to such aud such places, when all they ever did was to talk to a mer chant from town whom they met by chance on the platform of another place fifty miles away; tueychanre traveling expenses all the same, but such things are like all other forms ot human swindling and dishonesty, found out sooner or later. Then again there are men who pick up loose women and go about hotels with them, thinking that nobody knows them or their company, but tbey soon get undeceived upon that point bv hearing of it in manv wavs. You musn't judge all travelers by the misdeeds ot a few, tor no class ot men worK harder or more faithfully than they do." A N ITRO-Q LYCERI N E EXPLOSION. A TERRIBLE EXPLOSIONS ON BLACK TOM ISLAND, EW YORK THREE AND ANOTHER MI33INO. MEN KILLED The New York World ol tho 17th Inst. gives the following account of a destructive explosion near that city: Between 12 and 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a nitro-glycer-ine factory, situated on a email artificial island known as Black Tom, in the Hudson river, a short distance below the New Jersey Central railroad depot at Communipaw, was blown up, and tour men killed: Tho factory consisted of two email frame buildings, one used as a powder house, and the other as a glycerine store room, and is owned by a lirm in Brooklyn. The island was built by the Central Railroad Company, and will eventually be used as a part of their dock front. There were six men at work when the accident occurred, and one of them escaped. He started for Brooklyn at once to notify the firm of the accident, and did not give any particulars to any one. Last night, when he returned to look for Mr. Warner, the superintendent, who lived at Keyser's Hotel, in Lafayette, he was not to bo found, and the man went away. In the meantime Sergeant Smith, ot the Fourth precinct police, heard of the affair, and sent a squad of men down to look up the matter. Theofficers went to the island about 8 o'clock last night, and found three dead bodies, which were burned an They were names ot tl tained to ue James iavertv, ui-u;i; Alfred Hopkins, of lloboken, and George Brown, of 129 Sfcli ttreet, Jersey City. Tho rolice did net fcuccoal, up lö 12 o'clock list tight, in finding the body of a man known to the workmen as Long Lowe, who lived in Brooklyn. Shortly after tho explosion one of the workmen was saen leaviug tho island in a rowboat that leaked, bo badly that he was forced to bail it contiueu&ly, and alter rowltga short distance the boat arjc, and tie fate cf the man is unknown. The oiücvr were sUU on tbe island at midnight, searching aaicng the ruins. . . . . I . . ' . -

TUB RETRIBUTION METED OCT TO AT URBANA, OHIO THE SCENES . TRAMP AT THE HASGINQ BY A MASKED MOB. A correspondent of tbe Cincinnati En quirer, on the 19th Inst., gives fuller partic ulars of the banging of the tramp Ullery who nad committed a beastly outrage on a little daughter of Mr. J. B. Morgan, of Urbana," O. Of the crime and tbe manner of Ullery's arrest, the telegraph has given the facts. On the night' of his return to Urbana, tbe writer says, the town hall bell tolledout the welcome news that Ullery was lu the county jail. Early in the morning he was escorted through an immense crowd Into the court house. Tbe determined sheriff still wonders bow he ever managed to get tbe villain alive through that surging mass of fierce men to and from the jail, even with a strong force ot special constables. Strong hands clutched at him in every direction; broad-shouldered fellows tried to shove their way among tbe guards, and take their chances of draggiog the shuddering wretch out among the crowd, who waited silently in ine grim nope 01 tearing him limb from limb. One stalwart Irishman laid his black snake whip well' across the felon's sensual face, but was dragged, away ere he could repeat the blow. In tbe court house tbe father of the outraged child covered the criminal with a revolver, and but that a friend wrenched the weapon from his weak hand Just in time, Ullery's days might have been ended then and there, lie was offered counsel aud refused, confessing again the heart sickening details ot his crime before the concourse of maddened peop!a. It was a tearful struggle to get him back to jail; but Sherill' Ganson adopted the excellent ex pedient of swearing in every man who showed any anxiety to get at the prisoner, as a special constable, "to maintain tbe peace aud dignity of tho state of Ohio." So ihty got him Into his cell, shaking in every limb like a bunteiand captured animal. and whining, '-O, don't kill me! pray don't kill met tor God's take don't kill me." That was Thursday morning, and on Thursday night, about 11 o'clock, lynchers entered the court house yard, at least three hundred strong. and all masked They were a mere unorganized mob. now6ver, surging, raging and swearing with ut a leader, ire tbey had demauded the prisoner twice Sheriff Ganson suddenly flung cpen tbe jail door, and facing tbe crowd, with a heavy Colt revolver iu each hand, exclaimed: "1 gi ve you all just five minutes to clear tbe yard." And they all cleared. You see no man baa ever been lynched in that town, or bans in Cham paign county lor MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY, and tbey didn't know the right way to manage such matters. But there was one 9.-. niau in town mat" night wno did know a good deal about lynch law and vigilance committees, and who was not with that crowd on Thursday niuh. That man is Fernando Stone, now a hardware merchant on orth Main street, formerly a miner and an influential man in tbe far West. Stone is a man ot great siZ3 and strength, and was for years the captain of a vigilance commit tee iu Montana, who hung men on the most approved scientific principe. It is not absolutely certain, but it is pretty generally believed that Fernando Stone was at the Lead of the Sunday morning movement one ot the best organized affairs of the kind on record. Nobody supposed on Saturday evening that any eflorts would be made to take tbe prisoner from his cell. The sheriff went home early, for his little daughter was dangerously 111; but be left orders to keep watch all night at tbe jail, and to send for him it any thing should happen. Ullery was placed in a strong iron cage within an upper front room in the southeast corner ot the jail, and that room had double doors the inner one ot heavy iron bars, the outer one of massiye cak beards, iron Ix und, with immense locks. Tbe jailer's family siept below, and tbe guards watched ab jve iu a room next to the prisiouer's cell. The streets were sheets of ice that tight, tLo sky clear and frosty .and the town. p-ruapa,uu usually quiet after he recjent excitement. By 11 o'clock lights were out all ovdr UrLina, save the solitary gleam of a lamp in the room where tha Jailor, with three guards kept watch over a worthless lite. When tbe town-clock boomed out midnight the moon was very cleat; and THE 8LEEFT.E? S rRISCNEB may have Vn abies-o look from his window o-- public square, some hundred van8 .wlth th gigantic ßgure of its -joldier-sentinel casting a gnomontw on the great white diaJ-plae of the! juare below The shadow lengthened jd lbazthened till the fantastic sUhuuotte ot the brohze soldier's bead 6trecbed to the very curb-stone of the tqyare on the cast, and was broken up by au irregular patch of darkaess by tha Loaped-up ice in tbe frozen gutter. Tho clock, eiruci 2 about that' time; and a watchman, Levi Dunham, passed by the court, bouso to tLe square. Iiis solitary, 0tslwart liguro m;gbt have made the prisoner's tcart beat moro easily, lor he now saw in the puliceman or.ly a protector. The figure crossed th equare und ,ot its shadow horribly mixed up .with thoebadow of the brag soldiers and finally disappeared around the opposite corner, trailing its

shadow behind it. The clock struck three: tbe voices ot tbe guards in the next room became hushed; the light that streamed under the prisoner's door from the lanterns without became dimmer; the bead of the sentry's shadow began to poke itself into the lower windows ot the houses on the east side of the square. And at last the moon dropped behind tbe town, and the great shadow of night came over everything, and the bras soldier's bead alone became distinctly visible against the sky. Perhaps the prisoner wondered why that watchman hadn't come back. That watchman was tied band and foot before the clock struck lour, and its tones had not died away before the prisoner's heart must have leaped into his mouth with iear. The alley in rear of tbe court house was echoing the solid tramp of an organized band f men. Before the guards were awakened from their doze tbe vigilants were at the door below 32 black masks, and one white one. The white mask led. Six carried a heavy oaken beam. MWe want the prisoner," said the White Mask, through a speaking trumpet. Ko answer. "Numbers One, Two. Three, Four, Five and Six. Btep to the front," ordered the White Mask. The battering ram was carried to the door, and the prisoner again demanded In vain. Then the door was driven in, with its frame, by one vigorous blow; and 15 maskers went up stairs, to encounter the guards. They were overpowered and bound almost instantly, and the leader called again: ''NUMBER SEVEN I" Number seven immediately placed a cold chisel againEtthe outer lock cf the prisoner's cell. Then number e'ght was called, and stepped out with a sledge. In five minutes the prisoner was dragged out of his cell, bound and carried down stairs. lie uttered but one hideous, long-drawn groan of fear when they dragged him out of the cage. Meantime a number of the baud bad posted thems?lves as guards at all the entrances to the court-yard. One ran across the road to tt.e hat store, and returned with a dry goods box, which he place-d under a magnolia tree in front ol the

court bouse, being the second tree to the left of the entrance, on Nerth Main street. To this the prisoner ws brought and placed standing upon it with tbe noose round hia neck, while the leader pulled out his watch, a handsome gold time-piece, which gleamed in the light of the lantern be bore, and exclaimed, "prisoner, you have two minutes to pray." Then Number Nine climbed tbe tree, fastened the other end of the rope to a strong forked branch. The prisoner monued out, "Oh," Jesus, have pity on my soul," and relapsed into silence. Then the six men reappeared with the battering-ram; the leader gave the signal, "One, two, three;" the box was knocked from beneath tbe wretch's feet; the body turned round once or twice in the air, and the wond was morally clearer than it had been sixsy seconds previously. To enter the yard; burst in tbe jail gate and cell doors; overpower and bind the guards; bind tbe prisoner and hang, occupied only thirteen minutes, showing what an excellent thing a Montana education is. A crowd had by this time collected, and attempted to enter, but were driven to the other side of the street at the muzzle of 33 revolvers. Fifteen rainute later the leader called tbe roll by numbers, to which every man answered, "Here," and the band marched ofT, two by two, with the white mask at their head, the same way they had come. None dared to follow them. About two o'clock the body was buried, the afternoon inquest having resulted in a satisfactory verdict -of 'Sieaih by hanging, at the handset parties unknown." It is said that several ot the vigilants were themselves on the coroner's jury. WOLF LAKE CUT. THE GOVERNMENT REPORT FOR A NEW HARBOR A BRIGHT FUTURE PREDICTED FOB THE WOLF LAKE REGION. A Washington special to the Chicago Tribune, ou the 18th inst., gives the following summary of a recent government report: The secretary of war has received the report of Major S. L. Uilespie on the survey of Wolf Lake cut, Ind. The report büvs: As far as relates to harbor facilities for the commerca and trade of the country bordering on the' southern end of Lake Michigan, tha harbor at Michigan City, the very üno harbor at Calumet, and tho harbor at Chicago meet every preseut demand. Tho private parties owning land bordering on the lake mentioned above propose the deepening of Wolf river and the making of acut through the beach at its outlet to Lake Michigan, tor tbe purpose of developing their lands and making them available for manufacturing, and industrial purposes. An easy corr.mcricatlon with Lake Michigan, through Wolf river, with piers at Its outlet, lormiug a safj and commodious .harbor, with net less than fourteen feet of water, is the object sought in their request for government aid, and, in their memorial, it is expressly stipulated that tbe aid of the government is only asked in the work extending from tbe water line of the lake into Lake Michigan, and that the private parties and associates will themselves complete aud execute all work south of the water line of Lake. Michigan. As the exceedingly fine harbor at Calumet within tbe last two years has cost tbe government a little over fciOO.OOO, aud is only three miles to. tho westward of tbe proposed improvement at the mouth of Wolf river, and as THE LANDS ON WOLF LAKE can be made accessible at no great expense by way of Calumet harbor. Calumet river, and tha several lake connections, it is questionable if the government can be called upon, with propriety, to expend any thing at present upon this new worfc. it can not be denied, however, that Chicago has ceased to be a shipper simply, and has oecome a vast ana extensive oroducer: that the nm'ufitctiiring interests created by its influence srxt w faith, cramped in their operations by the already beavilv taxed harbor facilities, and by the inconvenient delays incident to the navigation of a river running through the heart of an active city, and spanned in ever3 direction by bridges, are turning their attention to the available and well-located lands along the lake shore to th6 south; that Calumet bas already received the first impulse, and its property has vastly apDreciated within the past few vears. and that, under favorable circumstances, with the country I reed from tbe blighting influences of a de- . prcssion ot trade, a lik growth and in crease of wealth may le predicted for the region bordering on Wolf Lake and rivr.
