A Texas SJaj-er Voiuutarily Gives Ilimsell in Charge. New Orleans Picayune. Officer Quinn was quite astonished yesterday, when on his beat he was met by a man who introduced him- self by a voluntary surrender of his person. To the question of inquiry made by the officer, the stranger replied by the following statement: ‘‘On the 29ih of January, 1875, I was in Johnson county, Texas. About 10 o’clock r. M. on that day a man uamed William Gerard and myself were play ing cards on the roadside, about two miles from Cleburne, Johnson county. We had been riding together, ard oc casionally took a friendly drink of whisky, some of which we both had. Gerard proposed a game of seven-up, the stake to be whisky, and on my eig nifying my consent to the proposition, we both dismounted and commenced to play. “Neither of us was sober. I wtm a game and declared the fact, but Gerard insisted that I was not ou’. and befuro I could tealize what he intended, he whipped out a bowie knife and cut me across the thigh. I then drew my pis tol, an army sized Colt’s revolver, and fired three times. Gerard dropped, one of the shots taking effect in his head and killing him instantly. When I discovered that he was dead 1 placed a piece of paper on his breast, incribed with the following words: ‘Idled by J. B. Scoggins, and you will find me in Bell couuty, Texas.’ I went to Bell county, and was arrested bv the sheriff, but subsequently escaped. Since then I have been engaged prin cipally in eluding the officers of justice until I am tired of this life of constant dread, and will willingly accompany an officer to Texas. “Scoggins was consequently arrested and confined in the Central Station, subject to the action of the Texas offi cials, who have been informed of his surrender. Why Mrs. Thompson ran in to see Mrs. Hayes. Wash. Cor. Cin. Enquirer. The Cabinet ladies arc all matter of fact, practical women. To illustrate: A few davs ago eevtral ladies were call ing on Mrs. Hayes. They wero en gaged in pleasant chat when the door "pened and the usl er announced Mrs. Thompson. Mrs. Hayes advanced; introductions followed and were ac knowledged by a bow. Mrs. Thomp son walked toward the window over looking the lawn, and said : “Mrs. Hayes, where do they pasture your cows ?” ‘Really,” said madame, quite over come by the cow question, “I can’t tell you.’ “Well, I can,” returned the wife of the nautical man ; “they pasture them on that field, and it’s full of garlic— just full of it. This morning we couldn’t use the cream; the coffee was ruined, and I don’t, for the life of me, see how vou and Mr. Hayes can stand it. I’d make the men go out therewith case- knives, if I were you, and cut it all up. It would not be the work of an hour. Why, I could do it myself if I had time.” I'll speak to the steward, Mrs Tnompson, and see that it is attended Come and sit down.” Oh, no.' I only ran over to ask you about the cow pasture, and must go. Goodbye! Good morning, ladies!” and off she went. Noble Illustration- Lord Canarvon, in addressing the people of Bira ingbam, used the fol lowing illustration : “Travelers tell us that in some of the Eastern seas, where those wonderful coral Har ds exist, the insects that form the coral within the reefs, where they are under the shelter of the protecting rocks, out of the reach of wind and wave, work quicker, and their work is appa>ent]y sound and good. But on the other hand, those little workers who work outside those reefs, in the foam and dash of waves, are fortified and hardened, and their work is firmer and more enduring. And so I believe it is with men. The more their minds are braced up by conflict, by the ne cessity of forming opinions upon diffi cult subj-cts, the better they will be qualified to go through the hard wear and tear of the world, the better they will be able to hold their own in that conflict of opinion which after all it is man’s dutv to meet.” Humbert’s Proclamation- Humbert, son and successor of the late Victor Emmanuel, upon ascending the throne of Italy issued the following proclamation: “Italians—The greatest misfortune has suddenly befallen us. Vic'or Em manuel, founder of the Kingdom of Italy and its unity, has been taken from us. I received his last sigh, which was for the nation ; his last wishes, which were fot the happiness of his people. His voice, which will always resound in my heart, bids me banish sorrow and indicates my duty at this moment. There is only one consola tion possible, ramely, to show our selves worthy of him, I by following in his footsteps, and you by remaining by those civic virtues by the aid of which he accomplished the difficult task of rendering Italy great and united. I shall be mindful of hi.- great example to the country, the love of progress and faith in the liberal insti tutions which are the pride of my house. My sole ambition will be to deserve the love of my people. Talians, your first King is dead. Let us unite, in this hour of great sorrow. Let us strength en that concord which has always been the salvation of Italy.” In the State prison at Charlestown, Mass., is a man named Dunaunin, who has had an even ul career. When the war began he was serving a sentence of thirty years, out was pardoned out on condition that he would enlist in the army. His bravery quick[y won the good will of his officers, who knewnoth- ing of his anteceedants, and after the battle of Fretlricksburg he acted as a spy, gaining important information. He was afterward captured and sentenced to Libby prison apd paroled. He broke the parol, re-enlisted, deserted, com mitted a burglary, and is back in his old quarters, with twelve years more to serve. One thousand shingles, says a news paper paragraph, will cover one hun dred square feet of surface. One shingle, by the way, will cover six square inches of bad boy, and, if prop erly applied, will be productive of as much benefit and more noise than the one thousand shingles on one hunred square feet of surface. Figures won’t lie. The Charleston News indulges ex travagant hopes. “One of these dayes,” it says, “the ideal President will take up his quarters at the White House, and frame a message that can be read in five minutes, and will leave the pub lic in no uncertainty as to his views ou every matter of importance.” While he was counting over the col lection money on Sunday last the dea con of a Washington Church found a:: old faded piece of paper which, being unfolded proved to be his nearly out lawed note of S30 and interest which the holder, unable to culect, had turned in to the treasury of the Lord. The small boy has two prime objects in view in getting a “fighting cut” to his hair in warm weather. One is to show his vigilant father that be hasn’t been in swimming; and the other, be cause he can lie in bed five minutes longer in the morning, as he doesn’t have to comb his hair. Mr. Watterson tells in his lecture of a Mississippian who was asked wheth- it was worth while to carry a pistol: “Well, stranger,” he answered, “you mout move about for a year and not want it, and then again you moalu'l and if you do need it, you will need it powerful.” A rumor reaches us front Charleston that Gov. Wade Hampton, induced by certain political considera'ions, will recommend to the Legislature, at its ap proaching session, the passage of a general bill of amnesty for all the pub lic thieves in South Carolina. Camel’s h-dr shawls are not made of camel’s hair. They come of the wool of the Thibet' goat. Thus it will be seen that women not only have the wool pulled over their eyes, but over their backs. It is astonishing how 'soon a man ac- " 'knowledges uis mistake when he puis the lighted end of a cigar in bis mouth. A summer sunset: The sun had nearly reached the horizon, when a small blaok thunder cloud settled across its face. The cloud at once be came fringed with gold. Sharp points cflight shot . out from the edge in all directions, while a bright halo expan ded far beyond and finally blended with the blue sky. Gradually the jet black of the cloud changed to a purple hue, then suddenly a dazzling flood of light burst through the centre, and in a few moments the sun sank out of sight in a sea of molten gold. “See here, Parker, what’s the differ ence between a ripe watermelon and a rotten cabbage ?” asked one letter-car rier of another the other day. “You’ve got me there. I don’t know,” he returned, with a look more puzzled than an ilii'erate man at a cross-roads guide-board. “Then you’d be a mighty nice man to send after a watermelon, you would,” rem irked the qutzzer as he moved on. Bill Shute was a member of the Twenty-sixth. While the boys crowded around the old flag at the recent re union Bill, with an irrepressible hu mor, called out: “Boys, I am no speaker, bui there’s a blamed sight more of you here than ever I saw in a fight.” This brought down the house. The total number of Methodists in the United Suites is over 3 315,000; in Canada. 161,173; in Great Britain and her colonies, 907,404. In all the world they number 4.3S3.SS8. The increase in lay members tor 1877 throughout the world is given as 211.309. “Well, may I hope, then, dear, that at some future time I may have the happiness of making you my wife?’’ “Yes, I hope so, I am sure,” she re plied, “for I am getting tired of suing fellows for breach of promise.” Bronze guns, we are informed from Europe, are supplanting iron ones. The fashions are always changing. If our readers have any iron ones we advise them to wear them out before getting these new bronze affairs. A Bishop asked a little child: “My little friend, tell me where God is and I will give you an orange.” “My Lord,” replied the child, “tell me where He is not, and J. will give you two. ’ The following laconic epitaph, carved on a Spanish tombstone, should be remembered: “I was well, I tried to feel better, took physic, and here I am.” •Two Kentucky hunters amused them selves by firing wads at each other; and there was fun in the sport until one forgot to take the ramrod out ot his gun. “Mr. Smith, is your customer Brown a man to be trusted ?” “I know of no one more so. He is to be trusted forever; he never pays.” There is a cynic in Detroit who hinks that the difference between the dress of a man and a woman now-1- uaya is in, getting over a fence. If the short man ever feels overcome with an intense desire to be tall, it ie wnen he finds himself on the outside ot a crowd at a dog fight.
