A NIGHT WITH A ROBBER. T dame Paahrilling Ad‘l?:%?:c:: .Ma ame P For cool resolation, the following in--cident, related to me by my friend, cannot well be surpassed: ™ ‘Madame Pauline Lucca usually resides in the Victoria Strasse, Berlin. Last spring, however, she occupied, temporari: ly, at some distance outside the city, a gurten house, or country house, consisting of only a spacious, rambling. basement story, surrounded by a verauda. One night, about ten o'clock, she was sitting there in her bed room. Her chair was placed before her toilet table, which was lighted by a wax taper on each side -of the glass. The two tapers were not sufficient to illuminate the room very brilliantly, and the further end lay buried in a sort of semiobscurity. Madame Lucca was busy reading some letters con~ cerning engegements, when suddenly she imagined she heard a noise.” She looked round, but seeing nothing, concluded she had made a mistake, and resumed the pe rusal of the letters. She had forgotten all about’the noise when she heara it again. This time, instead of looking | around, sbe bappened, without moving her head, merely to raise ber eyes to the glass, Sbe beheld reflected in it the face of a man peering cautiously -from out a - cupboard behind her. At first she fancied she was dreaming. She quietly looked again. No, it was no dream. There was ‘the man, whom she now. recognized as baving been formerly in her service, and had been discharged for bad behavior. Sbe bad also suspected him of purloining several objects, which she had missed from time to time, but, not being certain on this point, she bad kept her suspicions to herself. Yes, there We was;. there could be no mistake about the matter. Madame Lucca’s first impule wasto start up and give the ‘alarm. But there: was not another babitation within a mile or two, and she recollected that the ounly person beside herselt in the house was her maid, who; though a very good girl, and extremely attached to her mistress,was by ‘OO means celebrated for her nerve. “The other servants, including the gardener and coachman, had been granted permis sion to attend a friend's wedding, some miles off, and were not to return till the next day, What was to be done? All at once she remembered that a revolver be lobging to her husband, the Baron von Rhaden, ought to be lying on a shelf in the dining room; but she was not sure “If it was there, and I could only get it,” sbe thought, *I should not mind.”

While she was reflecting a knock was heard on the door of her room. She saw the man instantly draw back' into the cupboard and close it atter him. She felt relieved that those two horrible eyes were taken off her; they seemed to pierce her like daggers. “Come in,"” she said, ' ' Her maid entered. - . ' “I thought you had gone to bed, my poor girl,” observed Madame Lucca, in a tone of unconcern: ; . “L.was going,please your ladyship—but I thought you might perbaps want something,” replied the maid. : “I told you I woul@ be my own Jfemme de chambre to-night. No, the only thing [ want is to stretch my limtbs a little, for they are cramped from long sitting.” Speaking thus, Madame Lucca arose with an air of admirably acted indiffer—ence, and took a turn or two across the room, passing close to the cupboard as she did so. She afterward declared that she thought she could hear the man breathe in his hiding place. - He, on his, part, might have heard her heart beat, shé said, when, on looking at the keyhole, she found. the key had been removed. She was folled in her plan, which had been to lock him in. Still her presence of mind did not de: gert her i ; “Ab, dear me!” ‘she said, gasping; “I feel very sleepy!” - : > - “Sleepy,-your ladyship! I wish I did,” replied her maid. “I don’t feel sleepy, I'm too frightened.” s ' “Frightened! What are you frighten—ed of, you foolish goose?” Nonsense!” re plied Madame Lucca. *Oh! begging your ladyship’s pardon,it is not nonsense, and that’s just it. How can you be sure that some villain, bearing you and I are alope in the hcuse, may not murder us in our beds? But’ he sban’t murder me in mine, for, with your lady ship’s permission, I will sit up all night in your ladyship’s easy chair” ‘Madame Pauline Lucca glanced at the cupboard;~ Her blood ran cold; she thought she saw the handle turn. What course was she to adopt? She dared not give ber maid the slightest hint of the real stute of matters; she felt that the girl would go into a fit then and there, and thus bring on a crisis. Scarcely knowing what she was doing, Madame Lucca replied at random: o “Murder us! What for?” “What for, your ladyship! Why, for your ‘money—for your jewels, to be sure. Everybody knows youw have plenty of them.” : o ol The girl might bave been unconsciously sharpening, so to speak, the knife by which she and her mistress were doomed to perish. . “What absurdity!” said Madame Lucca, with a forced smile,

As she spoke her eye wandered from the key hole ot the dreaded cupbosard to that of an adjoining room . In the latter there was & key. Her<face flushed, and a smile, as it -were, of proud ingpiration lighted it up, though only for a second. s “Jewels?” she replied. “Why, every one with a grain of sense must know that I should not have them about me as a rule. They,of course, are generally under lock and key at Berlin, It isa strange thing, though, Ediths, that to~day ie an exception. I expected the Countess von . Wartenstein to call, and I brought down all the jewels presented to me at my last vigit to St. Petersburg, to show her” = ' - “Your ladyship did! Oh! but suppos- . ing a thief—" “Well, if a thief did know it he might easily make his fortune!” she observed, interrupting her’companion. “By murdering usand running off with the jewels.” : : Madame Lucca glanced at the cop—board, and then rising her voice, she continued: . : “Obl*there' would be no necessity The door which leads from that room to the garden is unlocked; I forgot to lock it. A thief would merely have to walk in from the garden and take my jewel case from the table near the window. He might make his escape richer by 60,000 or 79,000 thalers and never be detected. That’s better than wmurdering people;is it not?” L ' . “‘Oh, yes, your ladyship. And he might get over to England or America.” ‘ * “Nothing easier,” replied.-Madame Luc- \ ca. “However, that reminds me—l may | as well lock the door leading to the garden.

Wh-a afat's that?” ‘ingnired the maid, with astrong presenti meut that all was not right. *The Baron’s revolver, thank good-~ ugdp!” replied Madame Lucea. | ~ “Why thank goodness, yeur ladyship ?', inquired the maid. : Madame. Lucca pointed to the door. Some one on the other side was turping the bandle. Editha turned deadly pale, and dropped the lamp she was carrying. Presently there was 'a knocking, and a voice exclaimed:: “Open this .door directly, or-—" L The rest was inaudible. © Editha’s screams drowned aught else. Madame Lucca waited until the girl’s first stock of breath was exhausted and her second not arrived ; she then eaid, with comic severity, Editha, if youare not quiet, I will begin by shooting you !” ; i Editha thought, apparently, that her mistress was in earnest, for the poor girl immediately rammed a large portion of the nearest towel in her mouth and re stricted berself to swaying to and fro and sobibing violently. The knocking grew more and more violent, but the door 'was massive oak and imnrevable.

“My friend,” cried Madame Lucea, in a loud voice, ‘‘you are caged. The garden door is ag tightly fastened s this one, and the window is secired. Do not attempt to open the latter, for I am going intoThe .garden and the instant that I see you try ‘to escape you are a dead man.” * Flinging open the door which led to the veranda she went out, followed by Editha, who in ber despair had succeeded -in pushing more of the towel in her maath, ' The noite of a Lolt being drawn was hedrd. “Stand aside, my friend,” said Madame Lucca, “or you are a dead man.” (G A sharp report followed, accompanied by the sound of crashing wood and splin.tered glass. o : ~ “There! ,that is one barrel out of six. - That is merely to.show that I am armed.

BEN BUTLER is trying to ridicvle people who are opposed to the increase of salury made at the last session- of Con: gress. He has figured out that the increase will cost each of his constitvents three cents in the way of taxes, and pro mises to refund to every one who will write to him the three cents. He has been getting & good many letters—probably more than he expected or likes. Ben should not forget that it was the simple sum of three cents tax on a pound of tea that caused the big rumpus between the colonies and Great Britain in 1776, It required nearly eight years to} settle that fuss, and then only by theé cleaningout of the three cent thieves!— Erchange.

The 111-fated Atlantic—Culpability of . the Captain, . / There seems to be no doubt that Will. iamg,' the captain of the ill fated Atlantic,. ‘was grossly and culpably negligent of his duty, even to-the extent of being prima-- ' rily responsible for the late fearful disas« ter. If a manrecklesslysßhootsa guninto. a crowd and kills anothér, he is held guilty of murder ; but there is probabiy no way of punishing a ship captain who, in utter disregard of all ordinary precantions, runs a steamer load of humane be: ‘ ings full upon a rocky coast and sends five or six hundred of them to the bottom. That Williams was guilty of reckless indifference or mismanagement is perfectly clear. Without taking into account the factthat the Atlantic left Liverpool with an insufficient supply of coal, which may not have been the Captain’s fault, it'appears ke discovered, _when six hundred miles from New York, that he had not coal enough to keep up his regular ranning rate for the remainder of his voyage. He might have run in under canvass, losing perhaps a day or two in time; but, even admitting tbat there were good rea sons for hissteering for Halifax, /it was foolhardy in him to'attempt to make that barbor in tbe night. It isa rock bound ‘coast and has been for centuries the dread of mariners. - Old sailors say that no com mander should sle“p ‘while his vessel is being navigated toward Halifax harbor, Yet Williams went to sleep at, midnight and left the vessel in charge of subordi nates rusning at full speed towardsia perilous coast, hunting a harbor which is not always easily made even in the day time. The Captain asleep and no look outs on duty, they rushed on without cornsulting ‘charts or soundings 0r,.50 far as appears, using any precantions whatever. Finally the vessel went crashing on the rocks, so close to shore that voices .could be heard from the land; and some: of the men even esscaped by swiming.— Though the night was not:dark, nobodysaw the land or the breakers in time to save the ship. From all accounts a more outrageousand murderous'neglect of duty was never recorded.—lnd. Journal.

~ Bad Roads. 4y It is of rare occurrence that bad roads have been of such long duration as during the present year. Even now there is ‘but little promise of immediate relief. ‘éFor several weeks to come there' will probably be found mud to the depth of from three to ten feet on all roads through out the country districts. We/expect, 1n the language of a contemporary, to hear some remarks upon the.-bad travelling every few mirutes in the day all through this soft spell. Ask a man if there is any - thing new in bhis neighborbood and the _answer invariably is, “no, but the roads | are tremendous heavy!’*_ Or, if it happens to be a fine day, and you remark it, the direct reply is, “yes, it 1s nice overhead, but the roads are awful heavy—never knew anyt_bin'g like it!” Some people like bad weather and bad roads; one or the other gives them an opportunity for a'growl. But whether people like it or not makes little difference.. Jack Frost ‘must come out of the ground, and mud 1s the last thing he has to- show bis * power before going into his summer quarters, .

It is time the producing classes of the country were or- ’- ganizing for co operative action against such a monster “power as this. - By the force of their immense numbers they may hope to hold out against the gigantic : wealth of their oppressors, and ultimate1y gain the victory.

The Salary Grab in the Private ) 7 Cirecle. . Under this captiou our Intelligent contemporary of the Crawfordsyille Journal discourses in this truthful strain: “The press, the pulpit and the political rostrum bave all, with singular unanimity, denounced the late salary grab as an‘act of thieving. No man has had the hardihood to attempt to publicly palliate it in the least degree.” But, in the private circle, we now and then hear an individual say, ‘weli, if I bad been a member of Congress, I would bave taken the $5000., We have no means of knowing how many men there are in the country who would have availed themselves of the fruits of this robbery if they had been in a position to do 80, but if we knew, we could tell ‘exactly how many there are whom the fear of punishment alone pre .vents from stealing. The man who announces his readiness to put his hand in the public treasury and abstract $5,000 to which he has no right, warns the people to keep their bands on their pocket - books while in his presence. He advises all the world that hothing but the peni - tentiary deters him from becoming a highway robber. -We use plain language, but we do it because we don’t want our remarks on the subject miscunstruéd.”

New Freight Schiedule. - The Pennsylvania Central, the Erie and the New York Central, the three great trunk lines to the west, have adopt ed a new tariff of freight to the west and southw%t. The reduction varies from 10 to 256 per cent. The average reduction is about 15 per cent. The agents of the railroad lines have been in consultation in New York for several days-and have made out the revised list. Tbe reductions are observed to be greater where~water transportation comes in direct competition with the railroads. For instance, in the case of St. Paul the rate on first class. freights is reduced from $2.40 per 100 pounds to $lBO, and for fourth class freights from $1.15 to 95 cents per hundred. - = ; . ~ Ex-Warden Hiram Iddings has recently been at the prison trying to concoct some scheme to oust the present Democratic in cumbents from power.

He said Lie watched the advertising columns and so long as he found his pat= rons advertising with some show of spirit. “he was satisfied they were all right, but the woment he missed the advertisement he sent on'the collector, and got either ‘his money or his goods, for he was satisfied that a man who didn’t advertiss was a failure in business, /= i The duty of every man is to subscribe for his local newspaper, no matter what ~other.papers he may take. In his city -weekly he can get the news of the world, elaborale editorials, essays, stories, agricultural hints, and the matters of general interest; - but he, canndt find there the news which he will prize most of all, and ~which he will find in bis local paper, and that is the news of his neighbors.

Four columns out of every five that contains ifeading. matter in the local paper should be dee voted to items that are of interest to every body in the neighborheod, for it requires no very. deep intellect to see that such news is the very.life and soul of the local paper, and those that have done this are the ones that have been most successfal. No man should take a city. paper in preference to his local paper.

A Fortune in Two Years. The Rochester (Ind.) Sentinel last week contained an excellent article on a subJject not wholly unfamiliar to the readers of the BANNER. It reads as:follows: The Indianapolis-Sentinel says that Ats torney General Dénny has instituted suit - %gainst' ex Auditor John C. Shoemaker or ‘the recovery of the interest bn the shool fund which it is alleged has not been - accounted for. The Auditor's office has vielded a fortune to eachincumbent since 1856, = - e e Mr. D>dd was elected inthat year, He: stepped from . the tin shop in the then very small town of Marion; into the office not only poor, ‘but very poor. Heserved four years and made a fortune. He was succeeded in 1860 by a man whose name ™ we do-not. now remember; and he was succeeded in 1864 by McCarty,also a poor man. - McCarty served four years and re~ tired rich. He was succeeded by Evans who made a fortune in two years. And now Shoemaker is stepping around with money enough to make him comfortable after having filled the office only two yéars. "It isa fact, that the legitimate earnings of the office, ufter defraying the -expenses of the incumbents living would Jeave & man poor at the end of two years, and poorer st the end of four ‘years; and 8o on 1n the degrees of comparison, as he . ‘chould continue to hold it. ‘The right to. ‘pocket the money which made the ¢x Au--ditors rich is said to depend on the construction of the law.

‘Poll and Personal Taxes—lmportant o Decision, The Supreme Court of this State re - . cently made a decision which will be of interest to many ot the readers of ,the BANNER.
