MR. GEORGE B. COWLAM, agent

for the Quartermaster's Department,

United States army, who has made

Madison his principle station since

last September, and has been engaged

in investigating and adjusting claims

against the United States for property taken by the Union troops that were

engaged in the pursuit of the rebel General Morgan's forces, has just re-

ceived a new batch of these claims, and is proceeding to investigate them.

He states that these claims will be rapidly closed up in Jefferson and all

other counties in Southern Indiana. Claimants should understand that Mr. Cowlam is not a claim-agent, has nothing to do with preparing or prosecuting claims, but his business is to investigate and report upon such claims only as are sent to him from Washington by the department. Claimants will be notified by mail or otherwise when and where their claims will be considered. A FEW days ago Mr. John Conrad who resides near Corydon took to New Albany $2,000, which he deposited in the first National Bank of that city. Of this sum $800 was in coin and $l,200 in United States paper money. When General John Morgan made his famous raid into Harrison County and through Indiana, during the war, most of this money was buried in the ground in an iron kettle by Mr. Conrad. There it remained until disinterred yesterday afternoon, though often examined to see that it was not damaged. The gold and silver coin was much discolored, and the paper money time-stained and dirty-looking--yet it was all intact. The United States bills were of the first issue made by the Government during the war. Mr. Conrad has by his overcaution lost seventeen years' interest on his $2,000, which, at 10 per cent., would aggregate the sum of $5,400. General John F. Miller, of Califor-

nia; who is to succeed Senator Booth in the United States Senate, is a native of Indiana. He first went to California about 1850. He afterward returned to Indiana, and resided at South Bend. When the war broke out he raised a regiment and became its Colonel. He rose to the rank of Brigadier General, and was wounded, losing an eye at the battle of Stone River. He was in command at Nashville while Johnson was Military Governor. After the war he returned to California. When Johnson became President he appointed General Miller Collector of The Port of San Francisco. His prominence in business circles enabled him to become one of the founders of the

Alaska Fur Seal Company, of which he is the President. This has made him enormously rich. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention two years ago, but has held no other elective office. Senator Booth made

no effort to be re-elected. The people living in the southern part of Cass County are considerably excited over the appearance of late tracks apparently made by a lion. Hunters from Logansport who visited the neighborhood last week, were shown the strange tracks and pronounced them either those of a lion or lynx. The sportsmen mentioned followed the trail a long distance, and found that the animal making them had kept near large logs and in undergrowth as much as possible, as if to keep out of sight. Since the tracks were first seen some two weeks ago, the animal has kept itself out of sight. It is believed to be the same beast seen in the same neighborhood, and which caused such a terrible consternation some three years ago. At that time it confronted a mail-carrier in a lonely spot in the woods and caused him a terrible fright, but made no attempt to pursue him. He avered that the animal was a lion, and the shape and

United States Treasury Interesting Facts and Figures. New York Tribune. The Treasury statements for the be-

beginning of the new year, though de-

layed, are satisfactory. The reduction of debt, less cash in the Treasury,

amounts to $5,669,480,96, and is due to an addition of $6,942,262 to the stock of gold coin and bullion not covered by gold certilicates outstanding. The gold reserve, in excess ot certificates not held in the Treasury, amounts to $150,213 715, while the silver owned by the Treasury has diminished to $43,015,088. The latter change is due to a largely increased issue of silver certificates, of which there were "outstanding," and not in the Treasury, $26,504,986 Dec. 1, and $36,127,711 January 1. An inflation of $9,622,725 in this species of paper currency during a single month has co-operated with the threat of the 3 per cent funding bill to prevent an increase of bank circulation, and admonishes Congress that the law authorizing the issue of these certificates and the coinage of silver ought to be immediately and seriously examined in the light of experience. The demand for silver dollars during December fell short of the amount coined by $800,000, and the increase during

the month in the amount of all silver held was $836,426. The amount of gold certificates not in the Treasury has been reduced to $6,528,380, but the legal tenders in the Treasury, not represented by certificates of deposit outstanding, have been reduced to $8,731,318, a decrease of about $2,400,000 during the month. Wells, Fargo & Co. have just issued their annual statement of the production of precious metals. They report for 1880 a yield of $[illegible],522,182 gold, and $40,005,364 silver, showing an increase over 1879 of about $1,000,000 gold and $1,400,000 silver. But the United States Treasury holds less gold than it did at the beginning of 1880, although the imports of specie during the year have been $53,465,668 in excess of exports, as officially reported to the end of November, besides $16,443,301 at New York alone in December. While over $103,400,000 has been added to the stock of gold in the country, or nearly $100,000,000 besides the amount used in the arts, the gold in the Treasury has diminished from $257,790,322 Jan-

uary 1 to $156,742,095 December 31. The specie held by New York banks was $48,282,000 at the beginning, and $58,048,000 at the end of the year. The absorption of the rest of the large supply of gold produced and received during the year is one of the most important and singular facts in recent financial history. The Treasury has gained in gold only $21,359,456 since the day of resumption. Though it has added about $40,000,000 to its stock of silver during two years, it is in no respect the stronger by reason of that addition. In the Comptroller's last annual report attention was called to this subject, and statements were given showing the amount of gold which has gone into the banks since resumption. According to this report the net imports of gold alone from the date of resumption to November 1, were $110,884,795. The net imports of all specie in November, as officially, reported, were $9,374,265, and the excess of imports over exports of gold alone was undoubtedly larger, because gold was being imported heavily while some silver was going abroad. For December we have only the figures for New York, but the excess of imports over exports of gold at this port was $15,767,115. Thus it appears that the net imports of gold since resumption have been at least $144,526,175. The estimated production during the two years, according to the statement of Wells, Fargo, & Co., has been $66,052,102 of gold. Hence the entire addition to the supply of gold in the country since the date of resumption has been $210,578 277. Of this sum, the Treasury statement shows that only $21,359,456 in gold coin and bullion had been added to its store since January 1, 1879. The Comptroller's report shows that $73,976,150 in gold had gone into the banks throughout the country. Deducting these sums, it appears that at least $115,242,071 in gold has gone into circulation, into private hoards, or been used in the arts and manufactures. Certainly, more than $100,000,000 has gone into use or has been hoarded. How long this absorption of gold may continue has been an interesting and important question, not only to Americans, but to the financiers and business men of Europe. Majolica Ware. Penn Monthly. Majolica, or as it is variously termed Faenza, Gubbio, Umbrian, or Raphael ware, is a beautiful enameled, ware of the end of the fifteenth and earlier part of the sixteenth century. Its

original title of Mojolica is supposed to

have been derived from Majorca because it much resembles, and was, perhaps, founded on the Moorish pottery and enameled dishes from Ma-

jorca by the Pisans in the twelfth cen-

tury, and afterwards by other trading cities along the coast. The Spanish Moore were, no doubt, far advanced in the manufacture of decorative pottery, as we see by their painted tsles and magnificent vase in the Alhambra, and during the whole of of the Italian Majolica period they still continued to supply Europe with their beautiful works.

THEIR IRIDESCENT OR METALLIC LUS-

TER plates, of the fourteenth and fifteenth

century, certainly have very much the

character of the early Italian Majolica,

and the patterns in both are often pure Alhambraic. An early and fine enameled plate of Moresque pattern

will show the character of the Majolica

manufacture, and the so-called His-

pano-Arab Majolica plate will show the Italian version of it.

Although it seems very likely that

the term Majolica was derived from Majorca, there is no evidence that it was so called among writers earlier

than Scaliger, who wrote 1557, and

Ferrat, of Padua, who lived in the

next century. It appears at first to

have been called Faenza, where it

was principally made or exported. There is a want of positive testimony

about this, and some well versed on the subject have a theory that the

term may have arisen from the fam-

ily of Maioli (called Maggioli) of Her-

rara, who, at the end of the fifteenth and beginning of the sixteenth century , were promoters of the fine arts and distinguished for taste and vertu. Aldus, then at Venice, printed for Lorenzo Maioli in 1497; and some of

the finest specimens of Italian binding, between 1500 and 1530, near the inscription "Maioli et Amicorum," and are called Maioli bindings. These are now as valuable as Majolica dishes. Majolica appears to have been first made at Faenza and Pesaro, then at Gubbio, and afterward at Urbino, the birth-place of Raphael, Perugia. Ferrara, Monte-lupo, Naples and other places in Italy. It is said that RAPHAEL FURNISHED PATTERNS for this ware, and even painted some of it; but there is no positive evidence, and as he died in 1520, and the best specimens of art, as regards drawing, are after, rather than before, his death, it has been thought by many improbable. This view is based upon the fact that Guidobaldo, Duke of Urbino (1538-1574), the great patron of Majolica, is known to have begun collecting Raphael's sketches several years after that master's decease, for the purpose of decorating pottery. Previously Andrea Mantegna, Marc Antonio, and

the early masters of the Bolognese school, whose works have become familiar by engravings, were the type of nearly all the early Majolica paintings. After this period, the designs became more Raphaelesque. The Urbino plates and other forms dated 1538 give evidence of this. The leading artists in Urbino at this time were the Fra Xanto and Oratio Fontana. There is a plate extant, formerly in the Marlborough House collection in London, supposed to represent Raphael and Fornarina in the studio of an artist, employed in painting a piece of Majolica It was originally in the collection at Stowe, and at the sale there in 1848 brought $20; a few years later it was sold for $600. This latter price was reached under the impression that the plate was printed by Raphel himself, or at least during his lifetime, but it was evidently executed long after his death. During all the great Majolica period, and even to the end of the century, it was the fashion for lovers to present their mistresses, or their betorthed, with small ornamental pieces, called amatoriae--generally plates, dishes, or vases--adorned with the protrait and Christian name of the favored fair. They are for the most part more interesting for the costume, than for the beauty of the lady. THE ARTISTIC CHARACTER of Majolica declined and almost ceased before the end of the sixteenth century, but was revivived in the next century

at Naples. Of this late, or Neapolitan

ware, the color seems thinner and colder than in the earlier specimens, and the drawing more correct. These differences or traits are peculiarly marked in the Monte-lupo manufacture. In the meantime the taste for Majolica had spread to other countries, particularly to France, in the reign of Francis the First, no doubt introduced by Catherine de-Medicis, daughter of the Duke of Urbino, who had, in 1538 [1533?], married the king's son, afterward Henry the Second. This king of enameled earthenware, then termed Fayence (supposed from Faenza, the great emporium of pottery), was in full perfection when Henry the Second ascended the throne ia 1547, on so continued until his death, in 1558. The exquisite manufacturer of this latter period is now distinguished as the Faience de Henrie et Diane, and is of extraordinary value. Some French antiquaries, it may be observed, claim a greater age for the French term Fayence, and insist that it is derived from Fayence, an obscure town in France where there is said to have been a pottery long before it existed is Faenza, in Italy. A Test of Innocence. A poor, pale seamstress was arraigned for theft in Paris. She appeared at the bar with her baby of eleven months on her arm. She went to get some work one day and stole three gold coins of ten francs each. The money was missed soon after she left her employer, and a servant was sent to her room to claim it. The servant found her about to quit the room with the three gold pieces in her hand. She said to the servant, "I am going to carry them back to you.' Nevertheless she was carried to the Commissioner of Police, aud he ordered her to be sent to the Police Court for trial. She was too poor to engage a lawyer, and when asked by the Judge what she had to say for herself she replied: "The day I went to my employer's I carried my child with me. It was in my arms, as it is now. I wasn't paying attention to it. There were several gold coin on the mantelpiece, and, unknown to me it stretched out its little hand and seized three pieces, which I did not observe until I got home. I at once put on my bonnet and was going back to my employer to return them when I was arrested. This is the solemn truth, as I hope for Heaven's mercy." The Court could not believe this story. They upbraided the mother for her impudence in endeavoring to palm off such a manifest lie for the truth. They besought her, for her own sake, to retract so absurd a tale, for it could have no effect but to oblige the Court to sentence her to a much severer punishment than they were disposed to inflict upon one so young and evidently so deep in poverty. These appeals had no effect, except to strengthen the poor mother's pertinacious adherence to her original story. As this firmness was sustained by that look of innocence which the most adroit criminal can never counterfeit, the Court was at some loss to discover what decision justice demanded. To relieve their embarrassment one of the Judges proposed to renew the scene described by the mother. Three gold coins were placed on the Clerk's table. The mother was requested to assume the position in she stood at her employer's house. There was then a breathless pause in Court. The baby soon discovered the bright coins, eyed them for a moment, smiled, and then stretched, forth its tiny hand and clutched them

in its fingers with a miser's eagerness. The mother was at once acquitted. Governor Grimes and Twenty Cents Burlington Hawkeye. The Legislature had just convened at the capital of Iowa. Governor Grimes had arrived the night before and taken rooms at a certain hotel. A young aspirant for office, from a distant portion of the State also drove in and alighted from his carriage at the steps of the same hotel. The hostler threw off his trunk, and the landlord conducted him to his room, leaving the trunk in the barroom. Wishing

his trunk the young man demanded to have it brought up, and seeing a man passing through the lower hall, whom he took to be the porter, he gave his commands in an imperious and lofty tone. The order was obeyed, the man eha,gmg a quarter of a dollar for his services. A marked quarter, that was only good for 2 cents, was slipped slyly' in to his hand, aud was put iK to his pocket by the man with a smile. 1 ' And n o w , sirrah ! 1 ' cried th n ew arrival, "you know Gov. Grimed?" "Oyes, sir," u Well, take my card to him, and toll him I wish an interview with him at his earliest convenience." A peculiar look flashed, from the mau's blue eyes, and, with a smile, extending hia hand, ho said : "I am Governor Grimes, at your service, sir." "You I that is. my dear sir.

Ezra Newton had been looking over his eariy accounts. l"Well," asked his wife, looking on, "how do you come out?". "I find," said her husband, "that my expenses have been thirty-seven cents over one thousand dollars." ''And; your income has been a thousand dollars." "Yes; I managed pretty well, didn't I?" 'Do you think., i t managing well to exceed "your Income?1 said his wife. . 'What's this thirty-seven cents?" asked Mr. Newton. "Not much, to be sure, but still

'something. It seems to me that we ought to have saved instead of falling ! behind."

"But now how can we save on this salary, ..Elizabeth? We haven't lived extravagantly. Still it seems to have takpn it all." .... "Perhaps there is something in which wo might retrench. Suppose you mention some of Uie items," "Tbe most important is house rent, $150, and articles of food, 600. "Just half," "Yes, and you'll readily admit that we can't retrench their. I like to live well; I had enough of poor board before 1 was married. Now I mean to live as well as I can." "Still we ought to save something against a rainy day, Ezra." "That would be like carrying an umbrella when the sun shines." "Still it is well to have an umbrella in the house." "I can't controvert your logi," said Ezra, "but I'm afraid we shan't save anything this year. When I get my salary raised it will be time enough to think of that." ... "Let me make a proposition to you,' said Mrs. Newton. "You srdd onehalf of your income had been expended on articles of food. Are you willing to allow me that sum for that purpose?" "You guarantee to pay all bills out fit?" "Yes." "Then TwlU shift the responsibility upon you with pleasure. But I eau tell you before hand you won't be able to save much out of it" 4 Leave that to me." "That's well. I should not relish having any additional bills to pay. As I am paid every month I will each month hand you half the money. The. different character of the husband an wife may be Judged from the conversation which has been record ed. Mr Newton had little prudence ocJoreaight, He lived chiefly for the present, and seemed to fancy that whatever the con tingencies that might arise in the future he would somehow bo provided for. Now to trust in Providence is a very proper way, but there is a good deal of truth in the old adage that God will help those . who help themselves. Mrs. Newton, on the contrary, had been brought up in a family which was compelled to be economical, "and, though she was not disposed to deny herself comforts, yet she felt that it was desirable to procure them at any rate. The time at which the conversation took place was at the commencement of the second year 'of their married life. , The first step Mrs. Newton took on accepting the charge: of the household expenses was to institute the practice of paying cash for all articles that come under her department. She accordingly called on the butcher and inquired:' 'How often have you been in the habit of presenting your bills Mr. Williams?" "Once in six months," was the re ply. - ....... "And I suppose you sometimes have had bad bills?" "Yes, one-4hird of my profits, on the average, are swept off by them." "And you could afford to sell cheaper, 1 suppose, for ready money?" "Yes; and I would be glad if all my customers would sdve me a chance to

do so,"

"I will set them an example, then," said Mrs. Newton. "Hereafter whatever articles shall be purchased of you shall be paid on the spot, and I "expect you to sell them as reasonably as you can." Tiiis arrangement was also made with others, who, it is scarcely needful to say, were glad to enter into the arraugemen b. Head money is a great supporter of trade, and a cash customer is worth t wo who purchase on credit. ;.. Fortunately, Mrs. Newton had a small sum of money by her, which lasted until the first monthly install

ment from her husband became due. Thus she was enabled to carry out her cash plan from the beginning, Auother plan which occurred to her as likely to. save expenses was to pur-, chase articles in large quantities. She had bowi saved enough from the mouov i; wed her to do this. For exam piu, instead of buying sugar a few .pounds at a nrne, she purchased a barrel, and so succeeded in saving a cent or more on a pound. This, perhaps, amounted to but a trifle in the course of a year, but the same system carried out in regard to other things yielded a result which was by no means a trifle. There are other ways in which a careful housekeeper i3 able to limit expanses which MiSS." New ion did not overlook. With an object in view she was always on the lookout to prevent waste, to get the lull value of whatever was

expended. The result was above her anticipations. At the close of the year, onexamaning her bank bock for she had regularly deposited whatever money she had. no occasion lo use she found that she had $150, besides reimbursing herself for the money used during the first month, and having enough to last an other. ... "Well, Elizabeth, have you kept within your allowance?" asked her husband at thai time. "I guess you have not found it srrcaay to eave as y ou thought for." "I have something,, however," said hk wife. "HoV is it with you," "That ia more than I can say. Howver, I have not exceeded ray income, that's one good thing. We have lived fully as well as last year, and I don't know hut better than when we spent $500,'" "It's knack, Ezra," .said his wile, ; siniiiuir. She was not i nclined to men- '

Hon how much she had saved. Shewanted, some time or other, to surmise I

him when it would be a servf.ee. "She may possibly have saved up S&V thought Mi. Newton, "or some xiilc," and so dismissed, the ni alter otn ids mind. At the end af the second year Mrs, Newton's savings, including tho inter-

est, amounted to $350, and she began S

ti teel quite rich. Her husband did not think to inquire how much she had saved, supposing as before, that it could be very little. However, he bad a piece of good news to communicate. His salary had been raised from $1,000 to $1,200. Ho added : As I before alio wed you one-half of my income lor household expenses, it is no more than fair that I should do so. now. That will give you a better chance to save part of it than before." As before Mrs. Newton merely said that she had saved something without specifying the amount. . ... . Ifiv allowance was increased to $000, but her expenses were not proportionally increased at all, so that her savings for the third year swelled the aggregate sum in the saving ank to .$000. Mr. Newton, on tho contrary, was no better off at the end of the third year than before. His expenses had increased by $100, though he would have found it difficult to teli in what way his comfort or happiness had been increased thereby. .. , In spite of his carelessness in regard to to his affairspMr, Newton was an excellent man in regard to his business, and his services were valuable to his employers. They accordingly Increased his salary from time to time, till it reached $1,600. He had steadily .preserved the habit of assigning one-half to his wife, a heretofore, and this badbecome such a custom that he never thought to enquire whether she found ic necessary to employ the whole or not.

An Important and Interesting Chapter in tho Recent Russian . History,

Thus ten years rolled away. During all this time Newton had lived in th same hired house, which he had paid an annual rent of $150. Lately, however, he h id become dissatisfied with it. It had passed into the hands of a new landlord, wLo was not dssnosed to keep it in the repair which he considered desirable. About thi3 fim.a block of excellent houses were erected by a capitalist, who designed to sell them or let them as he might have opportunity. They were modern and much better arranged than the one in which Mr. Newton now lived, and he left a s trong desire co move into one of them. He mentioned it to his wife one morning. u What's the rent?" inquired she. "Two hundred and twenty-five for ' the corner house ; $200 for either of the others." "The corner house would be prefe rable, ou the account of the side windows." 4 'Yes and they have a large yard besides! I think we had better rent one of them to-day; you know our year is out next week." , "Please wait nntil to-morrow before engaging one." . "For what reason ?" "I should like to examine the house." "Very well; I suppose to-morrow will be sufficiently early." Boou after breakfast Mrs. Newton called on 'Squire Bent, the owner, of the block, aud intimated her desire to bo shown the corner house. Her request was readily complied with. Mrs. Newton was delighted with all the arrangements, and expressed her satisfaction. "Are these houses for sale or rent?" she inquired. "Either," said the owner. "The rent is, I understand, two hundred aud twenty-live dollars." "Yes. I consider the corner house worth at least twenty -Ave dollars more than the rest." "And what do you charge for the house fo a cash customer?" asked Mrs, Newton, with subdued eagerness. "Four thousand dollars ca3h," was the reply,. "and that is but a small advance oil tho cost." ' Very well; I will buy it of you," added Mrs. Newton, quietly, "What did I understand you to say?" asked the 'squire, scarcely believing his own ears. "I repeat that, I will buy the house at your price, and pay jrhe money within a week." Tfaon the house is yours. But your nusband did not say any thing of this transaction, and, in fact, I did not know that--" . , "That he had money to invest, I supnose you would say. Neither doe3 he know it, and I must ask you not to tell him for the present." The next morning Mrs. Newton invited her husband to take a walk, but without specifying the direction. They soon stood in front of the house in which he desired to live. "Wouldn't you like to go in?" she asked. "Yes. It's a laity we haven't got the key." "I have the key," said the wife, and forthwith she walked up the steps and proceeded to open the door. , . "When did you get the key of Squire Bent?" asked.har husband. "Yesterday, when I bought the house," said the wile, quietly, Mr, Newton gazed on 'his wife in profound astonishment. "What do you mean?" , "Just what I say the house is mine and what is mine is thine. So the house is yours, Ezra."

"Where in the name of goodness did you raise the money?" tasked her husband, in amazement as great as ever. "i haven't been a managing wife for ten years for nc thing,':' said Mrs. Newton, smiling. With some difficulty Mrs, Newton persuaded her husband that the price of the house was really the result of her savings. He felt that when he surveyed the eommodioU3 arrangements of "the house that ho had reasons to be grateful for the prudence of his man-

The Nit hil 1st movement, which, was inaugrated by Bakmin during the reign of the Czar Nicholas, and bm brought liussia to the verge of a revolution, has received ho more powerful an impetus than from the Vera Sassulitch .murder trial at the commencement of the, year 1878. Owing to the Russo-Tuikish war,, then in full progress, this important case passed by comparati vely unnoticed in the rest of Europe. But among all classes in the Gear's Empire its influence was immeasureabte By disclosing the rottenness and corruption of Russian officials, it fanned the smoldering embers of popular discontent into iv flame which all the efforts of autocracy have been unable to extinguish. Iu the first days of February, 1378, the Giudonachainiek, or Ch ief of

J olice. of. Sc. Petersburg, Lieutenant General Feeder Feodoro witch Trepoff, 1 was shot and severely wounded in his j private study by a young country girl i named Vera Sassulitch. The would-

be assassin was immediately arrested and confined- in the citadel of St. Petersburg. She refused to confess the motive of her crime to the instructing magistrate, and ic was then concluded that she must be the instrument of A SECRET JSXHIT JBT ORG ANTZATJ ON. For th ree long weary years Vera rein ai ned i n prison . Seeing no one. save now and then some poor wretch whose existence was hut a repetition of her own, she sought to forget her sorrows by softening the griefs of others, and in instilling comfort into ;, the broken hearts around her, her own soul found rest. While thus engaged a poer convict relating to her an incident he had witness-id during his prison life. He had been incarcerated for participation in the street troubles near tlie Kasaa Church iu St. Petersburg at trie commencement of the year 1S77. 1 gOn this occasion a few foolhardy student, who, it will be remembered, displayed a revolutionary flag, were arrested and brought to the City Jail. The Policemaster, General Trepoff, , Vwn was told, visited the place. When he beheld the prisoners, he frowned darkly and his voice grew harsh, for he longed to crush them to to the earth. 'Out of deference to his rank, they all uncovered heir heads, with the exception of of a medical student named Bogolion buff. Trenc tr seized the opportunity to vent all. his ptnt-up rage; and approaching the young man, ho brutally knocked his cap to tbe ground. Botrolionb: iTs blood rushed to his face with indignation at the affront, and in cutting words he rebuked the policeroaster before nearly all of the jail officials, . AWAY WITH lirU.i "a way with that dog," was! TrepoflPa reply. "Away with him to ix cell, and keei him on bread and water!" The order was immediately obeyed, and the student was dragged to an underground dungeon. ! But the worst was still jto come. Furious at his merited rebuff, the Polieemaster ordered Bogolionboff to be secretly lashed with tlie knout. Thin barbarous and illegal punishment was promptly, hi fiicted upon -che unhappy youiig man, within hearing of many of the prisorers in: the "jail. Their blood curdled when they saw the preparations inade tor the execution of the Poiteemaarer's commands, and the groans of the Smartyred man reached their ears.. The groans that foHowed each stroke of t he lash as it cat deep into tlie victim's desh were not the weak whimperings! of pusillanimity they were the agonized. protest of a human being whosie dignity as a man was being grossly outraged and violated. This story sunk deep injfo Vera's heart While alon& in her ceil,' the groans of the unhappy man rang in her ears, aud his blood, mercilessly spided, appeared to her morbid mind to cry Aloud, for vengeance. Continual brooding at last bore its fruit, and in the solicitude of her prison wias born A STBWN0B AND TJCJIRIBLE 'jpTJRPOSE,
