Liberty was not a large town, but it was largo encngh to own a banking hoaso which did a thriving business. The President of the institution, who also filled tuo position o! cashier, -was Jasper Trentham, a white-haired old man, who was well up in the seventies, but etill possessed of much physical and miental strength. His family consisted of a rather beauiifnl daughter narae.1 Amy. She did tho honors of the banker's house. Those wlio pretended to be well inferratHl pnid that a good deal of love was being wasted between Amy and young Mr. Walters, tho corporation's teller. At tho same time others declared thnfc the teller had been supplanted in the girl's graces by Jerome LTcDonald, a dnrk faced ex-army officer, who had lately taken up his residence in the place. This latter personage had served with nome distinction in the late civil war between the States, and was reported to bo worth considerable. He seemed to woo Amy Trenthaza loldly nad in the face of the gossips, and there were not ft few who openly fiaid that t-he Lad best capture the Major while the opportunity rcmr.ine-d. But Amy appeared to fcnow what wasbeet, for fhi suddenly broke oil with JJeDoiuilJ, and, much to his chagrin, smiled upon the teller. About thi3 tine a new patent chronometer lock was attached to the safe in the vault of the 1-fl.Ek, and was proving a idne-days wonder to liberty. Such precaution had been deemed necessary by the rob I cry of banks in neighborirg towns, and, as thst of Liberty contained a great deal of money, many depositors? did u-.t f'- 1 t.ifc.

among the improbable things. The teller tad been the last man e-een with Jasper Trenthara, end Amy said that lie had accompanied her father to his bedroom a few bonis prior to her discovery of his dead body, and she furtheraore ai.:l that the ttller had left the hcu.-o alone, wiiile her parent bad remained in the chamber. Added to this uras the testimony q! no less a person than I,Iaj. McDonald, who depofied to having seen the teller micrgo from the President's residence in an excited manner, and that he Lad heard him eay, "It is all over; we've settled accounts at last !" The toils were turhtly drawn around the young man, and ha found public sentiment decidedly against him. It was with great diillcnlty that the mob spirit was kept in abeyance at Lis preliminary examination, and an excited crowd followed him to the very doors of tho jaih By the accused the murder was strenuously denied. Ho said that on the fatal night he had been summoned to the President's house by that person himself, and that an adjustment of their differences had there taken place. lie denied that he quitted the house in an excited manner, and said that, if tho words quoted by his rival McDonald had fallen from his lips, they referred to the happy reconciliation between tho banker and himself. The majority of the people of liberty, in the moment of excitement, were inclined to receive the teller's statement with mnny grains of allowance. They saw him a suitor for Amy Trentham' s hand, and vere ready to believe that he had swept an opposing parent from his path. Amy returned from the examination in no enviable frame of mind. She found herself parentless in the midst of a cold world, and with the one to whom she had given her heart's fresh love in the shadow of the hangman's noose. Tor in the moment of his peril her whole soul went out to him, and she be lieved that his hand had not stricken her father. Such was Amy Trentham 's love "If he did not kill father, who did?" she asked herself again and again; hut no satisfactory reply rewarded her, and the rnv&tery grew deeper than the sea. The sun was setting when Amy entered the little room from whence the old man's spirit had taken flight. The had not visited it since the hour of her horrible discovery of the night before, and it had remained in apparently the same condition. . There were dark stains on the floor, the sight of which chilled her blood, and she turned to other and more invit ing objects. i All at once she noticed that the icy wind penetrated the room through a broken pane. It seemed to shiver her very heart. A piece of paper which she picked from the floor and laid upon the desk was instantly blown to one corner of the room. It was too chilly for her, frail girl as she was, and she was about to quit the uninviting epot when her eye chanced to light, upon seme lines of her father's bold chirography on the paper aforementioned. The next moment she held it in her hind and rtrd : Cl f ,tivo r. e f.x t:.a cvJ I am tlcvt to do!

John Xleiediih looked at her astonished. " You believe, then, that he is innocent ?" he said. "I do." " And that the papers spoken cf in the document which some declare a forgery are in the safe?" "Yes." "And eo do IS" Amy Trentham started forward at the eound of the permanent cashier's wcrus. " God will bless yon for those vrcrds 1" she cried, grasping his hands. "They bring balm to my crushed and bleeding heart. You will let me remain. "Yea, and may the doors yield to your hands before the passions of bad J men do that deed which I believe uod never pardons." Amy's faco grew pale. " Vfill they attempt to take him from the jail?" she asked, almost breathless, " I feel that such an event is coming, -was the reply. " Nothing save the papers, if they exist, can prevent it. I never will believe him guilty of this heinous crime. Ho cannot commit murder. The jealousy of one man is at the bottom of this mob frenzy." " I know it." "Pardon me, Uisa Amy," the cash ier said. Etammerin trlv. "I have wvr spoken " "No apologies, Mr. Meredith, was the quick reply. " I know that jealousy ia making a hell in Liberty at this moment. I never loved that man 1" "Never? Thank God! ejaculated the cashier. " Mis heart is as disc as night, and ono who loves him loves a person whose shadow is death." When the cashier withdrew, Amy found herself alone in the bank. She had locked the door behind the cashier, the only friend seemed left to her by the world, and returned to the vault. Her fingers hastened to try the safe, but it yielded not, and while she sank back with u eigh -daxknesa came upon the town. The jail stood almost directly oppo site the bank, and its hard stono walls looked like the closed portals of doom to the girl. Ever and anon Amy tried the safe, each time with hope in her heart, but it sank after the effort. Snddenlv a sound caused the girl to start. Loud cries reverberated through th street They grew terribly distinct, and at last left no doubt as to their 1m port. The mob were abont to assault the jail. Amy listened, tugged at tne iron doors, then desisted, with a groan, to listen again. All at once the door of the bank was unlocked from without, and a man eprusg to Amy's side. " Open yet?" "No." "My God ! The mob is at the jail ! It is armed with sledges and picks. The RheriiT has fled with the keys. I told him to go, and the fiends will soon bat ter at the doors.

" II era they are P said the cashier, rising, and the papers which he held in his hand were suddenly snatched away. "I'll save him 1". cried the girl, end, before the man could restrain her she was bounding toward the door. Across tlo ttreet the flaw, the papers in one hand, and something that glit tered in the starlight in the other. " Hake wny I" she cried, as she struck Bt?psthailedtothe battered portals. j caa prove him innocent, and no one must refuse me audience 1 She was recognized at oncce, and the Bounds cf the sledges suddenly grew Etill. Jjet the girl have a chance !" shouted a dozen voices, aa the members of the mob fell back and permitted Amy to pass to the front Go on ! 'tis but a trick to gain time !" said a voice ; and the banker's daughter tamed upon the speaker. " Liar I" she cried. " You will swallow your cowardly words when my dead father speaks for the man in yonder oelL" Orrin Walters heard the voice and started. lie had listened to the blows and curs es of the mob unmoved, but the voice of the woman he loved made him spring to the door of his cell. With hammers lowered, the ringlead' era of the mob formed a circle around ,1, brave trirl. and the tallow-dips fnrBhed tte weitd Xght for the tableau. " The safe ia open," Amy said to the mob. " These are the papers referred to in the document found in my father's room. They are not forgeries. Cashier Mere dith took them from the safe with his own hands I As yet I know not what they oontain ; but you shall know." That fair girl seemed to exert a power ful influence over the maddened men. They listened to the reading of the first paper, and then slunk from the jail, convinced that Jasper Trentham, the bank President, was a suicide. It was an hour of thansgiving for the lovers and the cashier. The sledges returned to the anvils, the mob dispersed, and Amy thanked God that the man whom she loved was not a murderer. Major McDonald quietly left Liberty, undoubtedly for its good. Mr. Gesso relates the following anec dote, in the World 0 Wonders, of a three-horned beetle, which is not larger than an ordinary English stag-beetle: "This insect has just astonished me by a proof of its vast strength of body. When it was first brought to me, having no box immediately at hand, I was at a loss where to put it until I could kill it; but a quart bottle of milk being on the table, I clapped the beetle for the present under that, the holiow at the bottom allowing him room to "stand upright. Presently, to my surprise, the bottle be gan to move dowly and glide along the smooth table, propelled by the muscular pew st cf ti e ir-pri--'oned insect, and continned for fcjnia time to perambnlata the gurface, to the astonishment of all who vainer, 'd ih " The weight of the bottle and itscont j c juI r;t Late been leas than three I our .3 a naa, vrnue mat oi mo t mCo ".i . a f Vint h.df an ounce; bo that it r. il'y ::-..lan eight 112 times exccclh.g its ctn.

TIIC POLITICAL FIELD. Kreecri nt Ex-Gov. Kendrlck ISefora the Indiana Oemoeraiie Conetitk'a, One of the LotuaUzs crinjisala ha teen tried and coavictoih Ttu rreetJcnt and John SheTHiaa gay he elaooM riot have been tried. Why not? Hia guilt and that of ccLcra w shown by the verdict. It is & hgh crime agaixtat the n&Hon, and ttrt-aieaiEg tha ethilitj cf free institutions. What are the relations between the President and Sir. Sherman and the accused that authorize or permit an effort on thair part to infaer.ee judicial pro ceedings in a State court? A-tter a long ana terrible contest it is settled that State ekciiona and State Legislatures must bo free from military influence and control ; so, alio, it must be understood that the Tresident and Lis Cabinet cannot, directly or indirectly, inter fere with judicial proceedings under State au thority. The Stte oourta mutt be wholly free and independent of Federal control, except where the constitution and laws give the Fed eral judiciary an appellate enperviaion. It ia to be regretted that the acts developed upon tbe trial are of such a character as to cre ate anxiety on the part of the Pres. dent and anv cf Ma Cabinet, but they cannot avoid the effect noon the public mind of an ex hibition of that authority, and of unseemly denunciation of the State authorities. Whilst it id true that the title of Mr. Hayes to the cfiice of President, and of Mr. Wheeltr to the ofiice of Vice President, has been fettled under the solemn forma of law. and wmlt it is ottr amy, in my judgment, to recognize the title because it U in the interest of the public stability and tranqmhitytodo so, it is none the less true that an imperative daty demands that fitting punishment should be vis-itednpoa the public criminal a through whose flagitious crime tnat judgment was chtaintd. Because a julgment is final and canclunive forms no reason why immunity should he secured to the criminal through whose perjury it was obtained. If this is true of a bin? pie property judgment rendered in a court of law, much more is it true of a monstrous crime against the election sovereignty of a nation. The very fact that it was snejesfcful furni-hes the strongest reason why the condign punishment of the perpetrators should cover it with perpetual infamy, and manifest to all future con.pii ators against the liberties of the nation the danger of attempting its repetition. fcsince tne inauguration of President Hayes I have regarded repeal aa hopelesp. He was pledged to resumption. If John Sherman, at the head of the treasury, holds the position, he wi!l enforce the strictest and hardest execution of the law, and it is understood that any hill to repeal the clause will now ba vetoed. I have heretofore said that, in my belief, the Xlesnmption law has been the source of the greatest calamity to the business interests and property of the country. It has had the effect of causing men to hoard greenbacks and the banks to withhold and withdraw their circulation in the fear of being crushed by a forced redemption in gold. A favorable foreign trade has promoted a return to specie payment, and, if balances shall continue in favor, I expect to see our paper at par with gold at an early day. Will tlie restoration cf silver money mitigate the evils of contraction caused by the Resumption law ? That is now the hope of the buciness men of Indiana. It is not as cheap mouey that the people demand its restoration, but . m ifaife;$A4t '.coin centow-fJaied by the constitution. When restored it will become again a standard and rxtearare cf value. Before it a demonetization, silver wan at par with gold, and, when restored, I think, will rise aga'n to the same level. 1 need hardly say to you tbat the value of any class or description of property greatly depends upon tho important uses to which it may be applied. Sdver was money. They stripped it of its most important use, and nowhay that it i worth 8 per cent, let-is than before, and, therefore, it cannot be good money. Is that a fair argument? As a material for the manufacture of ware, silver will have oniy the values which that use can give it, but when stamped with the quality of money, and made legftl tender lor tne payment 01 an cj asses 01 indebtedness, it becomes the active agent of trade and commerce, measures values and dis charges debts, aud in such use becomes correspondingly more important to society and more valuable. Were gold stripped of the quality of mouev, what would be the effect upon its va'ne? I do not believe the pennyweight of goid in the btantiful wine-cup is as useful to society nor a valuable as tLe tame weight of gold in the stamped coin which does its bny work in the channels of trade, and the delnonetizAtion of gold would demonstrate tnat fact. I have heretofrre said that silver has become aa important product of this connfry, and recognize it as a money-medium of exchange. I cannot see why we should not u'ilize our large product of that metal to the greatest extent that may be found practicable. Its value as money to this country is too great to be thrown away. Should experience prove that because of the increased prodacti m of stiver there will be a permanent aod important difference between silver and gold, Congress is clothed with ample power t provide the proper and adequate remedy.

The death of Mr. Denton, of Delaware county, lows, recalls a story that he used to tell, in the early days of the Illinois Central railway the line was not fenced, and one day two cows belong ing to a Methodist clergyman were killed, Being sued for damages, the company resolved to make a test case of it. The President cf the road directed Mr. Denton to take 500 in gold and go to Spring field and retain Abraham Lincoln, whom h knew well, for the company. " I am sorry yon didn't come yesterday, Nick, for I have been retained by the preacher and his friends." Denton explained fully the importance of the case to the company, and. then, palling. two hackskin bags filled with gold out of his pockets, he put them dawn on the table before the lawyer, with a startling chink, saying. "Mr.L:ncoln, the President of the company authorizes me to hand yon this retainer of 500 to take onr case." Mr, Lincoln jumped to his feet, flushed with anger. "Nick Denton," ho said, "I have given my promise to ttat preacher and his friends, and the Illinois Central hasn't- money enough to buy me away from his side. I don't know that I shall ever get a dollar from him but I'll do my best to mate your company pay for those cows." Denton said that he never felt so mean and small in his life as he did at that moment And in 1800, thong! a Democrat, he nsed to say, daring tho Presidential campaign, that Lincoln wi s the noblest man in America.
