LIGONIER, NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1875.

v OLD TIMES There's a beantiful song on the slumbrous air, That drifts through the valley of dreams; - It comes\from a clime where the roses were, " And a tuneful heart, and bright brown hair That wavesin the moruing beams. Soft eayés of azure, and éyes of brown, s And snow-white foreheads are there, , A glim’ring cross and a glittering crown | . * A thorny bed and a couch of down, 3 Lost hopes and leuﬂetg of prayer. A roey'leaf and a dimple hand, - A ring and.a plighted vow; Three golden rings on a broken hand, ; A tiny track on the snow-white sand, * A tear and a sinless brow. ! : 3 % - There’s a tincture of grief in the beauntiful song That so}u on the summer air; ; 5 And {oneliness felt.in the festive throng - Sinks down in the sounl ag it trembles a long From a clime where the roses are. 3 We heard it firstat the dawn of day, And it mingled with matin chimes: But years have distanced the beautiful lay, . - And its melody floweth =0 swiftly away, And we call it now **Old Times.” LLN K T.T'r_:;'_.'. Re e eT e ; ] o An Old Lawyer's Story. A great many years. ago, while I was comparatively a young man, and still unmarried, I resided in a certain city in Pennsylvania, and enjoyed the reputation of being the cleverest lawyer ever known there. It is not for me to say the praise was merited; but I certainly found myself able to discover loopholes of escape which surprised even my ifellow lawyers.:- I possessed by.nature those qualities -which would have made an excellent detective, and I was a thorough stu-: dent of ‘the law. . There was no mystery about it; but among the more ignorant classes I gained a reputation for more than- human knowledge. Perhaps it was not polite for them to say that the Devil helped me, but they did say so.. . . i ‘However, I began to tell you about a Madame Matteau. She was an old lady, who owned a little house in the suburbs of the city. She herself was of American birth; but her hushand had been a Freénchman, and so the title “Madpme” had been' bestowed upon her. She was nowa widow, and her daughter, Gabriella, and son, Henri, ‘where her only living relatives. Her income. was but slender, and she eked it out by taking a few boarders —generally - steady old people who had known her for many years. These friends respected and liked her; but the people generally had a prejudice against. her. There had been two sudden deaths in the house. Each time the victim was a stranger, who came at night and was found dead in his bed in the morning. Kach time the jury was divided—some believing that strangulatio: was the causeof death, some that the man had died in a fit. } : TR

- It was a terrible thing that two such deaths should have occurred beneath her roof. Madame’s friends ipitied her. The rest of the little world hinted that they were strangers, and that their trunks,: with no one knew what amount of money ‘and other valuable property, remained in Madame’s possession.. No ‘one said sheé was a murderess, but every-one said it was *“very strange,” in an odd tone; and nobody since that second death had visited Madame Matteau. I myself—perhaps because I admired her a great deal, and-her daughter much more—-had always insisted that it Iwas a coincidence; and that in a world where apoplexy and heart dis-= ease were so common, it was no such great marvel that two men. should have met sudden deaths in the same house. But my faith in this theory: was shaken when, one morning it was. published over the city that another: transient boarder had been found dead: in Madame Matteau’s house, and that: she was arrested on suspicion of hav-: ing murdered him, his ‘wateh and: chain having been found in her pos: session. - - Before ‘1 had recovered: from the shock of tiis terrible piece; of news, a message came to me from Madame Matteau. She desired to see me. Of course I went to her at once. She had been taken to prison. I found her in a little room with a barred window, and an insuflicient fire upon the hearth. The logs had burned in two upon the andirons, and the white ashes were scattered upon the floor. Almost amidst -+hem, sat Madame Matteau, in her widow’s dress of sombie black. She was chilly with grief and excitement; and had drawn. her chair close to the fire. She shook violently from head to foot; and her face was deadly pale as she turned it to“ward me as I came and held out hér hand. i 5 g “Oh! thank heaven, you have come, have you?” she said. “I know'you can save me. Is it nothorrible? How could I kill aman? Why should I? Why: do people come to my house to die—to die horribly, with black faces and staring eyes, as if somebody had choked them? Ugh!: And he was a pretty young man the night before.— Oh! good heaven, how horrible!” . Isat down beside her. I took her hand. : il ; “Madame Matteay,” I said, “be calm; colleet yourself. As your lawyer, I must know all. <Tell me from first to last what happened—what was said, what was dong. Jlf you—" I paused. Her black eyes had flashed upon me. -Icould notask her whether she had agy confession to make, I saw that she had not unless she was- the best actress that ever lived. 'Madame Matteau was innocent of any crime. . : ; “If you have any suspicions,” I'said, “tell them all to n:e.”- ’ P “There is no one to suspect,” sgbbed the poor woman. “In the house|were Gabriella, my daughter whom| you have seen; old Hannah, the cook ; Mr. and Mrs. Beaucamp, friends of my _poor, dear husb('md in his boyhood—the best and kindest of people; Mr. Gray, a very old man too feeble®to leave the house; poor deformed| Miss Morman, and the librarian, Mr. Bassford.. None of these would murder a mouse. See how kind they are.' They remain in my house. -They send me word that they have doubt of me, Oh! how can anybody ?”’ ! : . +“And this man. who—,” I tlen began. : ; . o “Yes,” said Madame Matteau, “I will tell you. He was fair, young, handsomely dressed. He asked Mr. Bassford at the depot if he knew any one who could accommodate him. Mr. ‘Bassford brought him home; My only empty room was the one in which those other two strangers died. I _could not bear to_gut‘him- there; but Mr. Bassford laughed at me. 'We had supper afterward. ° He-talked 4 long ‘time to Gabriella. It was late when we retired—late for a quiet household. Hannah had made his fire. She came and told us that she had done 80. He said ‘good night!’ © After he ‘had gone we found he had left his watch on the table. . He wore it only with a bunch of seals. He had been setting it by the clock, and showed it to as as something very handsome, I B e ;:?’éa:or;e; But I%Qmmhavem sleep already—for he made no answer. .So %.«@% ERLT T T

sent Hannah to wake him, She could not do so,and grew alarmed. She had a key that would open the door and used it. The next thing I knew we were all in the room, the windows were wide open, and the doctor had been sent for. The young man who had called: was screaming that his brother had been choked to death. Then there was-an i-nquést and they arrested me. The brother said that I wore Mr. Glenn’s watch and seals. - I had forgotten it in my t(j'ror.” “So Hannah had:a key to the room!” I said. : ot l / “Yes.sv At least it was a key that would open it. It was the key to Mr. Bassford’s door. - She knocked the other: one out with. a stick ‘and put that in.”. S g “The people who were there on that night were your boarders when the other two men were found dead?” I asked. o “Oh, yes.” “And Hannah was there also ?” “All my married life Hannah has lived with me. i : “Your daughter oversees your household in your absence ?” e “My poor .child! «with Hannal’s help.” ; T a I thought a little while. . .

o “Madame,” I said, “there is some strange mystery in this affair. Ido not despair of proving to all the world your entire innocence. Meanwhile be as calm, as possible, and ehdeavor to remember everything connected with the sudden deaths that have occurred in your house. The incident that seems the least important may really be of the most value.” :

~So I left for home. Strange enough, on the way:l met the doctor who had been catled:in: -He was a dull, heavy sort of person, considérably given to beer-drinking, and my .opinion of his ability was not very great. However, I questioned him on the subject, and he replied: . i [ “Well, you see, I don’t siy the old woman murdered him. If she did, I should say it was by sitting on him, or smothering him with the bolsters. I suppose the cause of his death was agphyxia. ‘What is"asphyxia? Why, t&o little breath to keep.one alive.

That there wateh, you—!"" o Thus, without any new light, I went home and formed my plans. There was but one way to penetrate the mystery. “I must enter the house. I ‘must see the people there. I must ‘penetrate to the room in which these men had died so suddenly, and I must not be known in my real character.— That Madame Mattean was innocent I fully believed; but that some one beneath her roef was guilty, I made no doubt. , It might be the librarian, Mr. Bassford, whose key fitted the dead man’s door. 'lt was possible. But no; I would not harbor a mad superstition. = There could be no su‘supernatural power beneath which human Dbeings dropped and died. Death, as it came to us, was mystery | enough. What had been said to, me by a woman who would have been a Spiritualist had she lived to-day was a mere absurdity: “I; believe that there is some horrible unseen thing in the room,” she. had said —“some; .awful shapeless spirits, and when it was locked in with its vietim, it mur:ders him!

At dusk that day I went into my bedroom myself. I .came out a: strange man. ' I wore a white wig, a pair of green goggles, and an over‘coat the tails of which reached to my heels.. I had a. niuffler about my throat, and a little hunch on one of my shoulders. I 'carried a thick cane, ‘and stooped a good deal as T walked. In my band I carried a carpet-bag, and in my bosom a pair of pistols well loaded. »As I passed out into the street, the early moon was just rising. | It lit me on my way to the door of | Madame Matteau’s house.

It was a small apartment painted blue. It hLad also blue window curtains, a blue silk coverlet on the bed, a neat striped carpet, a set of old mahogony furniture, and a very handsome ewer and basin of costly china. It was at the time almost a universal custom | to burn wood. In the room, however, was a small coal-fire. I alluded to this as Hannah came .in with the scuttle. “Yes, sir,” she said, “misses: does burn coal. 'Her son is a clerk, or the like, at the new mines at Mauch Chunky and he sends it cheap too. But it’s anasty, dirty smelling. and I hate it. Now. it’s built and lit, "twill warm up in fifteen minutés.

Was there some baneful potion in the cup she ‘had given me? it wasi an innocent looking cup enough—an old-fashioned -affair, covered with little gilt sprigs. The tea was fragrant IHyson, but the suspicion that hdd entered my mind had tainted it. ‘I put it from me, and would not have' tasted it for a kingdom. I had not intended to sleep, and I did not undress myself. ' I merely removed my disguise, andsat down beside the table with my pistols near me.; That someattempt might shortly be made to murder me I felt to be possible. I thought of all the old tales that I had heard of trap doors and sliding panels and secret entrances to traveler’s rooms. I was notacoward, but I felt strangely nervous. Singularly enough, for a man in my perfect health, nty hands were growing cold, and my feet were Inmps of ice, while my head was burning hot. : .Fift'eeié‘ minntes passed. The, fire was kindled, but the room was not warm. . ‘The blue flames struggled among the black coals, and flung forked tongues, tipped with yéllow tints, into the room. There was nothing cheerful about the stove, though it was.! of that opén style now called “Franklin,” Yet I drew a chair to-. ward it from-habit, and sat with my feet upon the hearth. I do not know how long I-sat there. Suddenly I became aware that T was not myself. I was losing my senses. If unseen hands had been elasped aboutmy neck, and an unseen Knee had been pressed against my chest, my sensations could not have been different. A thought of the evil spirit which my friend had suggested faintly struggled into my mind. As I staggered to my feet, a_ noise like thé roaring ‘of the sea was‘ in my ear. The flames of the candle turned a great yellow blue. I barely retained strength enough to stagger to the window and fling it open. . The fresh cold winter air rushed in. It gave.me intense pain but it relieved me. In a moment more I was able to clamber out upon the shed below.— There I remained until day-dawn.— With my returning senses the truth came to.me. That which had murdered the three men who had slépt before.me in the blue clamber was nothing more nor less than the coal-stove! It was provided with what was called a “damper” and this, being caught in a manner which closed it; sent the. poisonous gasinto the room. It had been kindled—as .a wood-fire would haye been at the hour of retiring—by some one ignotrant of the danger possible from coal-gas, and. they had slept never to awaken. Had I thrown myself upon the bed, I also would have been found dead af daylight, in all human probability. = . e o

As for the fact' that neither doctor nor cgroner discovered the truth, I have but to.say that they were not: deeply scientific men, that coal-stoves were scarcely used in the place, and that it had not been mentioned the blue chamber was thus heated." Of course I rejoiced the household with niy discovery next morning. and! equally.of course, Madame Matteau-— who was not only freed from suspieion, but became the object of universal sympathy. She was always grateful | to: me, and she proved her gratitude by giving me—what I soon asked for —the hand of her daughter Gabriella “in marriage. ol S | s e —— | Sensible Grangers, . - ; | _ .The Grangers of Kentucky take a very sensible view of their organization. . They say that “under their éonstitution and laws, which they have sworn to support, they have no right to go into the political field as a party, or to dabble in politics in any form.— ,‘ Besides, as Jlong as the secret: feature of the order is maintained, they say, fhe almost universal public sentiment of this country will stand, and ought ‘to stand, as an insuperable barrier: to their participation in politics as a party organization.” No more effect-. ive means can be adopted for breaking down this very excellent organization than to bring political discussion into it. It is impossible that even all Grangers shiould agree upon the political issues that are before the public, and therefore men must surTender their consciences into the keeping of others or abandon an organization that attempts to control themi:— If partisan politics were brought into a Masonic or Odd Fellows’ lodge, and a series of resolution adopted endorsing a line of political action, they ‘would fly to pieces in an instant. To be effective every -organization that ‘has for its object the elevation of human character and the fraternization of the human race, must be absolutely free from partisan politiecs.—Vin- ‘ cennes Sun. 5 .

_ OnE of the pillars of the Republican church of this city, a gentleman of much piety, great erudition and cultivation, a practical man in his political ideas and teachings, and one who has given our political system and our mode of government accurate and careful study and attention, and one who possesses a well balanced mind, gives it as his deliberate and mature opinion that the negroes “of this country are not competent voters, arve flot adequate to the power or right of the franchise, and should not have been' trusted with the ballot under a shorter term than fifteen years. His reason for making this statement is based upon the sound theory of their want of education and intelligence, and their utter incapability of reflection, and the lack of the reasoning powers on matters pertaining to the working of the government. It is very common for thé radical leaders to accuse the Democrats with charging incompetence and ignorance upon the blacks. But now when one of the gsoundest thinkers in the Republican party comes to the front; and without prejudice, as we may well infer, and gives such an opinion, based on such sound prémises and good reasoning, the charge with the demagogues of the radical party would cast ‘upon the Democrats,lalls harinless.—7'erre Haute Wournal, v Tl

How Workingwemen Are Taxed. An American merchant has written to Z'he Evening Post,of New Y ork, from Manchester;: England, sstating some facts that are of interest to the ladies, and to all who supply them. with the means wherewith to buy: their clothing. It iy very well known that foreign silks are taxed 60 per cent. when brought to this ‘country.— Consumers of silks' must pay this:tax, .or buy silks: manufactured in this | country, paying a like tax to the manufacturer, who is licensed and empow-. _ered by the act of congress to practice extortion. o i , G But the tax on silks.is light com-| pared with the tax on some other ar-| ticles of women’s wear. Black alpaca, and all the worsted fabrics called women’s dress goods-pay duties either of! “¢ cents a square yard and 35:per cent. ad valorem,” or of “8 cents a square yard and 4(Pper cent. ad valorem.”-— This combination of specific and ad valorem duties serves to conceal the: amount of the tax. The cnrrespond-! ‘ent. abové-reférred to shows it to be from 75 to 80 pei‘ c¢ent. Thaus the price of these goods, of universal use among people in moderate eircumstances, is nearly ‘doubled by the tax alone. But that is not all. The merchant who advances the tax charges for the use: of the meney which he is obliged to employ in paying .the tax. He must. malke something on all the capital embarked in his business, on that usedfor paying taxes,as well as on that invested . in goods, or. paid out for: freights and insurance. Allowing for this interest charge, it is within bounds toisay that dress goods are ful--1y -doubled in ' price by the ‘operation of the tariff. = The workingwoman has_ to work twice as many days to earn a dress as she would have to but for the tariff obstruction. - - . cas The woman who works ten days for the means wherewith to buya dress may not perceive when she hands over the money that half of it is tax, for the different elements of cost are_ not separated, in- naming the price, but such nevertbeiess is the fact. If the merchant kept three tills, and explained the matter as the purchase; was made, it would be clear enough. The price of the dress is ten dollars. ‘The merchant explains: “In this till [ put five dollars—~the cost of the: goods in England and the cost of bringing them- to' this country. In’ this other till I put four dellars—the amount of the tax’on the goods whiely | I have paid to the governnient of the. United States. In this third till T put one dollar—as interest on my capital invested,” If the good woman ob-. jects to. paying so heavy a tax, the. merchant replies: “Well, instead of selling you foreign goods, I will.sell you 4 home made article. The quali= ty is about the same and the price is the same. ‘Now, L place five] dollats in the first till to cover the. cost of manufacture,ete.. I place four dollars in the second till to cover the extra charge which the manufacturer. is enabled to make by the tax; levied on this piece of imported goods. In. the third #till I place my dollar of | profit, as before.. You ought to pay this extra sum of four dollars 'very cheerfully, as it goes to build up our’ infant diome industries and to affordemployment to working people like yourself.” : Yagd If the case were stated thus, as it really is in substance, whenever a sale is made, very 'likely the workingwoman would go home to her husband and brothers®and suggest to’ them. pretiy emphatically that while she ‘s willing to do lier share toward paying the national debt she is not willing to pay four or five dellars out of every | ten she earns to encourage rich mahufacturers. She would be rather likely to exhort them to vote down the great American systém which takes from .40 to :50 per cent. of her hard earnings to enrich' people who are very well able to take care of themselvés. : i

'The Grasshopper FPlague — The De- | struction of Crops in Kansas, © - A private letter leceived by Mr. J. M. Ridenour fronr his brother, P. D. Ridenour, of Lawrence, Kansus, gives a reliable statement as to the damage done by the destruction in Kansas:by grasshoppers. Mr. Ridenour says the worst reports that have reached us by telegraph are true to the main. Thousands of bushels of the pests have been destroyed, but they have now attained such size and strength that the plan of driving them into ditches is no’longer practicable. 'Aj giving an idea of the numbers, he says’ that he made an attempt to save his garden by digging a trench on the west side, and in two days c.-lught in that short diteh not less than twelve bushels. The ’hoppers, however, finally sflanked the ditch, and in. a few hours ‘ the garden, which had ‘contained a full supply of vegetables—peas in pod, potatoes a foot high, etc.—was as bare i as a rock, with mno sign that a living ‘plant had ever been seen in it. They’ have taken all the currants, raspberry and other bushes, have stripped the leaves from the smaller trees, and ‘much of the bark. In a circuit of fifty miles over which he had itraveled there was not an acre of wheat left, ‘and the corn (now about six inches ‘high) was more than half destroyed. The new crop of grasshoppers occupy: “a strip of country two hundred miles wide from edst to west, and six hundred miles long, from north to south. They destroy all cultivated ‘rops, in_cluding grass. ‘Mr. Ridenour estimates ‘that there are enough grasshoppers in the infested country to destroy all the: crops in the Mississippi Valley before the close of the season. The farmers, however, think they will soon be able to fly and that their course will theé be again toward mountaing, whence they came.— Indianapolis Jowrnal.” * i

Railroad Connection with IndianapB -olis. . el

- Itis a very safe-venture to ‘assert that there is more actual work in railroad ‘building now in progress in Indiana with the sure promise of completion than in any other State.: Most" ‘of the enterprises are of comparatively’ small magnitude, but there are a gre:it many of them. - They consist of short lines to develop local interests and links to fill- up ‘gaps in extended connections: . The ‘effect of " these im'provements is strictly to develop the resources and 'values of this State. | Besides those projects which. are begun, with a fair prospectof early com- ‘ pletion,- many more are in contemplation.. There has been no time, perhaps, when ‘there were more railroad meetings of citizens held to discuss and. plan how they ‘may, by the use of means raised among themselves, build such roads.as their partieular:localities” require. It would' require too much: space to set out by individual mention all these schemes &'h’ich. are reported on foot by the loeal press of the State. . The list would be quite lonig one. But there is one’ undertak‘ing of the kind now rapidly approach-. ing completion, which is really of importapce to the city of . Indianapolis. - There js a tier of countiés running north ayd south; Grant, Wabash, Kos-, ciusko and Elkhart, which have been bad to get at from this city. There was no'way of access by rail, except by going rouud about at a disagreea‘ble expense of time and convenience. The early completion of the Cincin‘nati. Wabash & Michigan railroad will obviate this difficulty. ~ Late reports. show that the prospect.of this road is good. .- It is.now In operation, from . Elkhart down to Marion, in Grant county. - Work is-being vigorously pushed this side of Marion,. and gle iron-will be laid ready for the carSTs. far -as, Fairmount, about six 'mildg; within‘the next ten days.
