To-Day.

•Written for the Gazette.

If you mingle in the turmoil, Of a hurrying rushing throng, You wili find more subtle measures,

Than are woven into songs For the words are rarely spoken, And the cadence flows unbroken.

If you scan the eager faces, As in busy life they fleet If you read their hopes and doubting,

As you meet them in the street, You will see a vision rea', Of the artist's bright ideal.

If you watch the lights and shadows, As they flit from lip to brow If you catch the swift expression.

Quickly disappearing now, You may read the poet's thought. Ere his image has been wrought.

If you would make your life the better, iiyou would gather 'round you strength You will find some hearts entwining

Round your own, until at length You can make some life more fair Than work of art 'ere chisled rare.

Words are little things around us, Countless as the drops of rain, As the flowers we trample 'nealh us,

Crushed, thev can not rise again Torn from earth, they withered lie, Scattering fragrance ere they die. Would you wreathe your life in beauty

That remembrance you may leave? Would you touch the spring of knowl edge

That in fame your name may weave? Then tunc your lyre to humble lays If by their worth, you'd win the praise.

Not always do the notes of life, Accord in tones of gladness. More often is the song we hear,

Swept from the strings of sadness. But harp and heart will mutely blend When each can call the other friend

In the gloaming twilight hour. We reach for the laurel hough And if perchance a bud we find,

We deem a rose,shall wreathe our brow But in the gloom, we cannot tell, It might be the bloom of Asphodel. _I. M. 1).

MURDERER'S REMORSE.

Five Years ot leepless Nights— The Slayer of a Railroad Boss Escapes From

Jail, Wanders Everywhere.

Hrani the I'hilndelpeia Times. The murderer's remorse and the vis ions that haunt his troubled slumbers have furnished the theme for many an exciting sketch, but the free surrender and unsought acknowledgment of a self-confessed man slayer rarely apappears in police annals. The regular hearing at the Central station yesterdayafternoon had been concluded, the audience had dispersed and Alderman Carpenter was about leaving, when a blue coated and brass buttoned patrolman nervously grasping a man of peculiar ap pearance, hurried into the hearing room aud announced that he had a murderer in custody. The prisoner gave his name as William Devitt and his residence as "nowhere." Officer Smith, of the nineteenth Police district, testified that on Sunday evening, while he was standing at Twenty-third and South streets, the prisoner approached him and said:— "I want to give myself up 1 have committed murder." The officer then questioned him, and subsequently at the station house, in regard to the matter, and learned the following particulars About five years ago Devitt was employed as a laborer on a railroad near Uniontown, Fayette county. Pa., about eight miles from Connellsville. Together with three or four companions, all of whom, as well as himself, were intoxicated, he was passing through the woods They met a stranger, whom Devitt thinks was a railroad "boss." Being in a quarrelsome humor, Devitt, and a man whom he terms his "partner," had a controversy •with the stranger about some trifling mat ter. The argument advanced to a war of words, when Devitt and his '{partner" seized a large log of wood, and striking the man on the chest, crushed In his breast, causing almost instant death. De vitt's "partner" ran through a cornfield but had not proceeded far before he was captured. Devitt himself was arrested the following day,and the two men were lodged in jail, though in. separate cells. Devitt succeeded fri forcing open the window of his prison apartment and, lowering himself to the ground by means of blankets cut into strips, effected his escape. In subsequent conversation with Ajderman Carpenter and with the Times man, Devitt stated since his escape five years ago he had wandered about the country, mainly through the Southern States, working upon various railroads. His companion in crime was convicted of manslaughter and was sentenced to five years in the Western Penitentiary. (Pittsburg). "I have not had a niglit's rest nor a day's luck since that time." said Devitt, in earnest tones. "Everywhere I go the murdered man is before me everything I do his blood-stained corpse distracts my attention and grants me not a moment's peace. We were all intoxicated, but want to go back and be tried,aslwould then feel far more satisfied,'' The unfortunate man was accordiugly committed to wait the action of the authorities of Fayette county. Devitt is tweuty-eight years of age and a native of Ireland. His countenance is a peculiar one. It bears a look both of hardened criminality and firm determination. At first glance he appears but a boy in years, but upon closer inspection, lines that tell a tale of daily torment and a look of prematnre age are plainly discerned. In talking,' he has a careless, unconcerned way of expressing himself, leading to the inference that he either was of unsound mind or was narrating a false tale for the furtherance of a private scheme. The man who, in San Frencisco, announced himself as the Nathan murderer, when brought to New York admitted that his sole purpose was to obtain a free passage to the latter city. At the Central Station, however, two years ago last Christmas Day, an individual delivered himself up to Turnkey Holloway as the murderer of a man in Maryland, and was subsequently sentenced to eighteen years imprisonment. The police authorities yesterday rather mistrusted Devltt's tale, and accordingly

telegraphed the authorities at niontown. A reply was received last night, stating that a murder of the character that Devitt describes had been committed about five years ago and one «f the accused parties had managed to escape, Officers from Fayette county will probably arrive here to-day, and Devitt's wish be gratified.

GRANT VS CUSTER.

How Grant Vented His Spleen at,

A Gallant Soldier.

from the Chicago Times.

In spite of his official denial Grant has gotten himself into a very disreputable position in the Custer business. lie first affronted the cavalrvman, and then tried to disgrace him. It is not improbable that Grant's treatment of Custer may result in a committee cf inquiry, which will lay bare the indecent warfare waged by the Executive, not only upon Custer, but other soldiers who have, in obedience to Congress, testified as to army abuses. In the Custer case Grant's conduct sounds like a chapter from the history of some Eastern despotism. The facts in the case present the President of the United States in one of the most humiliating and disreputable of the many humiliating and disreputable plights that he has been put in this winter.

A Republican member, interested in the controversy, has taken pains to inquire the status of the case, and from him these facts arc obtained: First, Custer, as is the etiquette among army people, called upon the President so soon he arrived in Washington. He was refused an audience. He called again, on three successive occasions,and was met by the same esponse. that the president was engaged and could not see him. Within ten days republican congressman learned that the president finally, unable to contain his anger, and desiring to paralyze the efficacy of the committee's work and punish those who gave evidence, directed an order to be issued, superseding Custer in command of the Indian expedition, assigning in his stead Major General Terrv, who has never had experience on the frontier and who know^ nothing of the Indian service. Last week Custer, who has been anxious to get off for a month, finally obtained consent from the committee to return to his command, subject to their summons, if they needed him. He visited General Sherman, stating the case to him explicitly, explaining that he had no instrumentality in causing himself to be summoned, nor did he take any part in the examination which was demanded of him by the committee. General Sherman expressed perfect satisfaction with Custer's conduct, lamented the president's stupid wrath, ind advised .is ter to call on him and explain the true condition of affairs. According to Sherman, Custer had on several oacasions visited the President for the purpose of releiving his mind of any misapprehension and disabusing hini of the current slander that he was going out ot his way to bring disgrace upon his former companions in arms. Sherman could see no reason why Custer should not visit Grant and explain the situation, and finally, at his suggestion, Custer did call. This was on Saturday afternoon and Custer had tickets for his Western journey. He waited, however, over Saturday, Sunday and Monday to comply with Sherman's .advice. and promptly at 10 o'clock, so soon as the president's reception hour begins, he was in attendance. There were several people ho arrived with Custer,all of whom were instantly admitted on sending in their cards. The entire company who came with Custer passed in and out, and others came and passed in and out, and still he sat in the antechamber unbidden. From 10 o'clock until he waited, dozens of people of all kinds and conditions, handing in their cards snd gaining access to the President, while the lackeys stared at him. About two o'clock General Ingalls, passing in to sec the President, saw Custer, and asked him how long he had been waiting. Learning the situation, lie informed Custer that he would call General Grant's attention to his presence and hurrv matters up. Ingalls, on going to the President, told him of Custer's being in the antechamber, and said "It is not fair to Custer to serve him in that way. If you do not want to see him you should have sent him word this morning, and not kept him out there among the crowd waiting the entire day." Ingalls went on stating further his opinion of the propriety of treating an officer of Custer's distinction in such a fashion. It seems that his upbraiding met with no response, for at three o'clock, having waited since ten, Custer's card was returned to him with a message from the President declining to see him, stating that he was going to lunch.

A Philosophical Milkman. Max Adler in the Philadelphia Bulletin: We went over to see Bliss, our milkman, the other day, and wc found him in the back yard mending the sucker of his pump. In reply to a jocular remark about his dairy being in a bad way when the pump was out of order, Bliss said: "Oh, I ain't going to deny that we water the milk. I don't mind the joking about it. But all I say is, that when people say we do it from mercenary motives they slander the profession. No, sir, when I put water in the milk I do it out of kindness for the people who drink it. I do it because I am philanthropic, because I'm sensitive and can't bear to see folks suffer. Now, s'pos'n a cow is billious or something, and it makes her milk unwholesome. I give it a dash or two of water, and up it comes to the usual level. Water's the only thing that'll do it. Or, s'pos'n that a cow eats p'ison ine in the woods, am I going to let my innocent customers be killed by it for the sake of saving a little labor at the pump? No, sir I slush in a few quarts of water, neutralize the p'ison, and there she is as right as a trivet. But you take the best milk that ever was and it ain't fit for the human stomach as it comes from the cow. It has too much caseine in it. Professor Huxley says that millions of poor, ignorant men and women are murdered every ear by loading down weak stomachs with caseine. It kinder sucks up the gastric juice, he says, and gets daubed all around over the insides until the pores are choked, and then, the first thing you know the man suddenly curls all up and dies. He says that out yer in Asia,where the milkmen are not as conscientious as re are. there are whole cemeteries chuck

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

full of people that have died of caseine. and that before long all that country will be one vast burying-ground if they don't ameliorate the milk. When I think of the responsibility resting on me it is singular that I look at this old pump and wonder that people don't come, and silver-plate it and put up my statue on it? I tell you, sir, that that humble pump with the cast-iron handle, is the only thing that stands betwixt you and sudden death. And, besides that, you know how kinder flat raw milk tastes kinder insipid and mean. Now Prof. Huxley, he says that there is only one thing that will vivify milk and make it luxurious to the palate, and that is water. Give it a few jerks under the pump and out it comes sparkling and delicious like nectar. I dunno how it is, but Professor Huxey says that it undergoes some kinder chemical change, that nothing else'll bring it about but a flavoring of fine old pump water. You know the doctors ail water the milk for babies. They know mighty weil if they didn't those yonng ones'd shrink all up and sorter fade away. Nature is the best judge. What makes cows drink so much water? Instinct, sir —instinct, Something whispers to 'em that if they don't sluice in a little water that caseine'd make 'em giddy and cat 'em np. Now, what's the odd whether I put in the water or the cow does? She's only a poor brute beast, and might often drink too little, but when I go at it, bring the mighty human intellect to bear on the subject. I am guided by reason and I can water that inilk so's it'll have the greatest possible effect. Now, there's chalk. I know some people have an idea that it's wrong to fix up your milk with chalk. But that's only mere blind bigotry. What is chalk? A substance provided by benificent nature for healing the ills of the human body. A cow don't eat chalk because it's not needed by her. Poor, uneducated animal she can't grasp these higher problems, and she goes on nibbling sour grass and other things, and filling her milk with acid, which destroys human membranes and induces colic. Then science comes to the rescue. Prof. Huxley tells us that chalk cures acidity. Consequently I get some chalk, stii it in mv cans and save the membranes of my customers without charging them a cent —actually give it away, and yet they talk about milkmen's if wc were buccaneers But I don't care. My conscience is clear I know mighty well that I have a high and holy mission to perform and I'm going to perform it if they burn me at the stake. What do I care how much this pump cost me if it spreads blessings through the community What difference does it make to a man of honor like me if chalk is six cents a pound, so long as I know that without it there wouldn't be a membrance in this community Now look at the thing in the right light and you'll believe me that before another century rolls around a grateful universe will wor hip the memory of the milkman who ever had a pump and who doctored his milk with chalk. It will, unless justice is never to have her own."
