TRIUMPH.
Not he who ridee thiongb conquered city’e
At bead of blazoned hot. and to the sound
Of victor'* triumpete, in full pomp and state
Of war, the utmost pitch baa dreamed or
found ,
To which the thrill of tnumph can be wound
Nor he who by a nation's vast acclaim
la aadden nought and singled out alone.
And while the people madly about hia Dame,
Without a conscious purpose of hia own.
Is swung and lifted to the nation’s throne.
But be who has all single-handed stood
With foes invisible on every aide,
And, unsuapected of the multitude.
The force of fate itself has dared, defied
Andonquered ailemly.
Ah, that soul knows
la what white heat the blood of tnumph flows.
LOVE’S GARDEN.
Love kept a garden, in it there grew
One little blossom, lowly and true,
And Love, the gardener, set it apart, „
Cherished it, tended it, christened it Heart.
Hove wrought a canopy over his flower ;
Fashioned a dark and inscrutable bower
Love twined the leaves of it, calling them
Mpnngiug from Hope and watered by lears.
Each day a Hunbeam danced o’er its bed,
But never glance for the leaf-hidden head.
And. oh. Heart was weary when Sunbeam trip
ped bv,
Till from bis cradle he lifted bis cry:
“Sweet little Hunray, would it were mine
To grow Where the golden gleams ever might
shine, . .
So in the lovely night comforting m,
Moonbeam thy photograph ever should be
Then Love, the gardener, pruned in his art,
All that hid Sunbeam from poor little Heart,
‘‘Win th> my blossom, who truthfully woo,
And fair he the bridal of Sunbeam aud you.
With pansies as groomsmen, all velvety bright,
And maidenly snowdrops in ?®“ to n> of white,
And clear ringing harebells that nodded above,
Heart ,“k him ."tr.de in the Garden of Love.

THE EVENING TIME-
Together we walked in the evening time,
Above us (he skv spread golden and clear,
And he bent his head and looked in my eyes,
As if he held me of sll most dear.
Oh 1 U was sweet in the evening time
And our pathway went through fields of wheat,
Narrow that path and rough the way.
But he was near, and the birds sang true.
And the stars came out in the twilight grey.
Oh 1 it was sweet in the evening time .
Softly be spoke of tliw days long past,
Softly of blessed days to be;
Close to bis arm and closer 1 prest—
Toe com-tteld path was Eden to me.
O! it was sweet in the evening time !
Graver the light grew and grayer still,
The rooks flitted home through the purp.e
shade; , .
The, nightingales sang whore the thorns stood
high
A* I walked with him in the woodland glade.
Ofc ! it was sweet in the evening time !
And the latest gleam of daylight died ;
My band in his enfolded lay ;
We swept the dew from the wheat as we pass-
For narrower, narrower wound the way.
Oh ! it was sweet in the evening time !
He looked in the depths of my eyes and said :
•’Sorrow and gladness will oome to us, sweet,
But together we’ll walk through the fields of
life
Close as we walked through the fields of
wheat." Good Words.
THE OLD SILVER DOLLAR.
ET M R-T H-LST-D. C-HC-N-TX C N-RC-L.
How dear to my heart are the coins ef my
childhood.
When fond recollection recalls them to
view ;
Dad’s scanty gifts in an occasional mild mood ;
The hardly-gained "pelf” which my in
fanoy knew.
Theold-farliloned copper, with green rust cor
roded;
The smooth-sided “levy,” and sixpences
small;
lYie pilastercd “quarters." by long use eroded,
Tits old silver dollar, loved better than all.
The old silver dollar, our dad’s legal dollar,
The bright, shining dollar, loved better
than all.
Its broad gleaming disk I hailed ss a treasure;
The promised reward of long hours in the
field;
To grasp its dear form was exquisite pleasure,
The strongest and keenest that money
could yield.
How ardent I seized it witli hands that were
itching, .....
And quick to the long pocket s bottom it
fell.
There carefully guarded from waeteful be
witching.
Till yielded at last to the circusman s
spell.
The old silver dollar; our dad’s legal dollar;
The bright, shining dollar that they loved
so well.
How good from the huckster’s grimy hand to
receive it, .
As pay for pur butter, our eggs and our
• ’ sass
The crispiest bill eoflid not tempt me to leave
''’Though the bank note Detector pronounc
ed it first class.
Since mow is discarded that loved te£al tender,
The tears of regret will unceasingly fall,
As fancy revertH to its size aud its splendor, ,
I yo&ru for the dollar loved hotter then alt,
The old silver dollar ; our dad’s legal dollar ;
The bright, shining dollar, loved belter
than all. [Toledo Blade.

One of our heaviest real estate own has
been under the harrow for some mooli;#.
To-day he lms abandoned the fight, and
arives up everything to his creditors. He
was a very successful cotton broker. All
the money he made he put into real estate,
llis revenues were very large. His income
was eight hundred thousand dollars a year.
Oue building, near Trinity Church, yielded
him a rental of ninety thousand dollars per
annum. Everything he touched turned to
gold. He was loaded down with cotton.
One day a merchant handed him a cheek of
three hundred thousand dollars to cancel a
contract He took it. Within ten days
cotton surged up and he made a fortune.
He owned au elegant house nj; Fifth
avenue. HecroWded it with paintings, stat
uary , andjworke of art. Not content with
this, he was induced by a speculator to take
hold of a railroad. He bought bonds at
sixty. Soon after they went down to forty,
and ihe gentleman bought ail he could lay
his hands <m. He took the road. He pro
posed to run it. He found it unfinished.
He equipped it; spent three hundred thous
and dollars in locomotives and rolling stock.
Huin came to him as it comes to every one
who dabbles in outside mallei*. The panic
completed his demoralization. His fine
New York property was mortgaged for
more than it was worth. To-day he line
ceased to struggle. Few men will lie warn

'Hines who poeesft the fashionable season of
1865 at Baden-Baden. Will easily remember a
lady, who was the lioness of that Summer.
Ihe first question among straogers who
lounged in the wicker-chaire before the Kur
haue.or met in the ruins of the old castle, was.
*• Have you seen the beautiful Mile, de Z. i
It was a‘German name, but the bearer was
French. from Alsace, and oue may a eo meet
the same name on the right bank of the Rhine
in Bulen. Mile. Noerni de Z. was the latest
sensation of Baden. The mysterious usually
surrounds onlv saints, heroes and criminals.
Mile, de Z. could not be classed in either of
these categories. Hhe was not like St. Kathe
rine. who proved her virtue by walking over
red-hot plow-shares;'she preferred to set her
little well-formed foot, eocased in satin, on the
green turf of the Lichtenshater Avenue, and
let her virtue be proven by all who were wor
thy the honor of cultivating her society. Her
heroism extended no farther than to ward off
all allusions, declarations and confessions
which might be made to her, in a more or less
reeerved manner, and if there was anything
criminal in her, it was only the quiet coldness
with which she slsyed sll the hearts around
her. A sensation has always a positive pith or
kernel, round which all rumors, sayings,
praises or cslumniee msy be set.
Noe mi de Z. was beautiful and charming,
more charming still from the fact that she dif
fered from other young ladies. She belonged
to no genus and was the only one of her kind
Som • one of her qualities you might find in
other women, but uever again such a happy
combination of Ihe contradictory. She resem
bled a ring set with precious stones, the initial
letter of each stone when put together forms
the name of the weater. Though small in
size she i-os-essed a carriage which many a
Court dame might have euvied ; her grace had
a ritwl meaning, the livlinees of her tern
peiament was controlled by her surpassing re
pose of manner. '1 he strong lines of her fea
tures were softened by an expression of tender
feeling, aud in moments of excitement her
dark blue eye lighted w.th passion, hhe play
ed Sebastian Bach and in the same breath
called Monsieur Worth of Paris, agreat genius.
Hhe knew how to manage a horse with the skill
of an ac ompto-lie I equestrian, and then oue
might see her mnsmg alone in the chapel cu
the hill by moon ight.
’J lie most elegaut men of fashion had fol
lowed her; the heroes of ihe clubs in i arts,

rendezvous in her pr -seiice. The most dirtiu

Fur hundreds of years the great Alsace
families have married among the nselves
Ho people wanted to know if Noerni would
not go to the altar with one of her cousins
from a neighboring castle. This cousin waH
m Paris, ill the Bureau of the Minister for
Foreign Affairs, and It was reported that af.er
hia marriage he would go abroad and repre
sent Ins country at sopte Court, wh cb is often
as ■ xpensive as it t.i difiiniilt,
The mam point was that this cousin remain
ed hi Pans absorbed iu business, while Noemi
amused herself at Baden-Bad u.
Hie had never spoken of him her-elf. Did
shi Jake it for granted that she must follow
the time uoj;ored customs of the old families?
Hhe had already l.&*c|;ed the age when other
Freuch women have enpurieimefl many ro
■nances ; why should she delay ?
Ou eyening the sat in front of the Kurhaus
with her grandmother (without whom ihe
net or appeared In puffin ; surrounded by a
number of gentlemen- Jt was still the time
when gambling flourished. Noerni harangued
the youug Duke von 11.. who was unman fed,
and who bad. for several days, bad remarkable
ill treatment from fltme Fortune. Hhe re
proved him. and told him (hat a man should
always resemble * tuit/or. A mirror I how so ?
was toe general question- tie should reflect,
answered Nor m!, laughing- .
The corpulent Duko turned his oig&r about
in bus in nth and was offended. One of the
gentlemen in the compmy ventured to say to
the voung lady that he had “never seen her at
the Bank. The sight of gold with the chance
of Winning has a demoniac charm for women
They feel in a/urosemal element.”
N'.omi turned towards (.no man and said :
“Ab you mean in the purity jnd genuine
ness of the gold;” an answer for which he was
not prepared “I never play.' she added, be
cause I have too much p#*n°n for it, and with
passion one loses every game.'
“Von never play ?” be asked.
“No, I have already said so !”
‘ Not even With hearts ?”
He was a young man who for several days
had found himself in the circle of her satelites.
He had beeu presented by one of the gentle
npui of the e'.ufc, huf she fiad forgotten the
name; fit fact- until now she had eparcely no
ticed lnm. Indeed his appearance hardly de
served notice, at least in Civil dress, hut In his
Ulan uniform Dieter vott Pobraet would have
appeared to much better advantage, fie was
neither very large nor handsome, nor yet ugly.
But he had a pair of firm, flashing eyes, a
long, well trained mustachios and as an
especial mark a popiplete mathematical
diagram of scars on Uis f*cp.
Dining the walk from the jjurjjaps to her
dwelling, Noemi bad taken his arm.
“Vou remind me of our French Balafre, tfie
Duke do Guise,” she remarked. “From how
much faithlessness 10 feminine hearts have
you deserved this disf ingtjnii ?
“Pardon, graciou< lady, it a {he tiuth and
sincerity of my heart.”
Noenu laughed.
“With passion o.e loses every game, re

‘•And now?” ... .
“Now I have becomo so cool aim prufcf’Ct that
I couW b* fatherly in a house full of girls."
Noeim laughed, S!)d her grandmother turned
around to ask Vim Wusing story her escort
was telling, hut the old la*y bad noticed that
it was not a pleasant laugh.
Oue morning she surprised aomi studying
a visiting card, upon which was written "Diet
er Von Schract, Landed Propfietor." The card
had been left in their absence.
•'A very pleasant mao,' remarked the grand
mother, taking a chocolate bonbon from a

Hchraot Jett JXaiten the next day without hav

there was anew comer in hia place, and he wae
said to be her bethrotbed
Two years bad passed. It was neer the mid
dle of November and the columns of the Ger
man army were moving towards the heart of-
France, from Orleans on to the Loire which
was the weak point of our position. ‘ From
here we expected the advance of the national
army. The German commanders had ordered
the greatest vigilance and caution; especially
was the passage of the Loire to be watched.
Over almost impassible roads and in the
pouring rain a picket of Ulans dragged them
selves along tbe route to Gien. We know the
leader of this little troop ; it was Dieter Von
Schract. Thor nghly wet by the rain, the red,
white and black colors hung from the lances.
An almost impenetrabl* veil of gray mist and
rain c tncealed the country before the German
soldiers. They tried to whistle a tone, but the
storm and rain drove it back in their throats.
“A little while longer, my boys, and we will
reach the castle where we can find shelter for
a few hours, but we must go further to-night.
It i- necessary to keep our eye# open.”
They had ridden only a short distance when
they sw a bright light. It Wae the castle at
last : the officer bad judged aright.
There was a wall with an ingeniously con
trived iron railing enclosing a stately build ng.
with two wings, which formed a oourt. Toe
gate was cloeed, and after repeated calls from
the office, a male hitman being made hie ap
pearance, who opened tbe gate with trembling
hands.
“We quarter here to-night," signified the
commander to au old servant whs came down
the steps into the vestibule with a lamp.
“We have long expected It,’’ be stammered,
“and the mistress of the castle begs your
kindnese and forbearance.”
“Who is your mistress ?”
“Tbe Baroueßs D’Antbeville.”
Just at this moment Dieter accidentally
raised hia eyes to tbe great stairway, and it
seemed to him that a woman's bead was quick-
Iv drawn back and be distinctly heard the
metis of a silk dress.
“Is your mistress young ?”
Tbe servant smiled and said, “a lady of sev
enty She has. notwithstanding tbe war, been
unable to persuade herself to leave her pos
sessions."
“Present my respects to her, and say that
her sex demands every possible consideration.”
After Dieter bad taken possession of tbe
room which had been assigned to him, he took
out bis map to examine bis whereabouts, placed
sentinels aronud tbe castle, and returned to
the dining room, where the old servant was
ready to serve Uis dinner.
“Mv stay here must be abort,” be said, “oth
erwise I should not fail to pay my respects to
your mistress. Does she orcupy this floor of
the castle ?”
“No. sir ; the floor above. Tbe windows of
her apartments open on the conrtyatd through
which you entered.”
Dieter remembered he bad seen a lighted
window and tbe form of a female shadow.
It must be confessed that Dieter had an ex
cellent appetite. At the conclusion of bis din
ner tbe servant brought him a desert plate of
sevrts china beautifully gilded, on which was
folded a satin damask ni pkin.
Dieter raised tbe napkin and bis eyes rested
spell bound on tbe plate—l efore him was the
dove’s feather with a dark spot on it, from tbe
and ied blood. His senses seemed for a monte it
paralyzed. He sought no explanation; he
ouly looked at tbe feather and tbe past came
t > mind vividly : Noemi's uuwomanly conduct
which bad o deeply wounded his heart; the
rapturous mintents iu the forest, when he had
tasted tier breath and beard her heart beat.
No! No! Ue had not forgotten her. And
when he afterwards went home and believed
be bad overcome bis passion he was obliged to
acki owledge that be bad deceived -himself,
and Noemi had rooted herself deeply in hia
heart. Without being conscious of tbe fact,
he had carried her image to his West Prussian
home, aud here she was, still with him, iu her
own Fathei laud, which he had entered as an
enemy
•• Noemi," he whispered, and her breath
moved the light feather which ha was raising
to his lips.
Hhe stood before him, and snrprise overcame
every other feeling which her appearauoe
might, under other oircumatanoes, have called
foi th. W’aita delnsion of his exoited im
agination. of bis longing thoughts, or—
"It is I, Herr von 8 brack," said Noemi, in
her well-remembered tones.
“You ! indeed it is you—as I hear that voioe
and see the fall of those eyelaahos”—
Pis glance rested upon her in motionless
rapture. Hhe was as beautiful as ever; as
beautiful as when, for the first time, he enter
ed her magio c.rcle. Hhe only appeared to have
become more serious and more quiet.
• Yotjr look asks me why we meet here.”
Sheqajfl, ’T am living with tfly mother-in
law."
“You are married ?" The question seemed
scarcely above a whisper.
“j was. but am no longer; my husband has
been dead a year- Since that time I have lived
here with bis mother. We have not tbe same
name, however, for she married a second time
after the death of my husba-id’a father. We
had expected the enemy ”
“The enemy ! Noemi,” he said half aloud.
‘•Vfe women have a delicate regard for out-
V&rfl appeftrapeps. As yeu rode into tbe yard
I looked from the window AUd thought I recog
ti aed you. Iu order to be sure, I hid myself
in a place where I could obseiye you as you
came up tbe steps,"
“And tbe feather was the dumb informer of
your presence ?" Mid Dieter, completing tbe
sentence, at the same time lettiDg bis eyes
linger on tbe beantiful woman. “That yon

Baden-Baden was a* entrancing as ever: the
Lichtenahaler avenue was still there, and the
old castle, too; the fragranoe of th* dusky
firs still floated over the valhes, but in contrast
it all seemed dull, desolate and gray.
But he would go to the spot in the
wooes slcre his heart bad felt the happiest
moments of hi# lift. He wished to solemnize
the memory by ah act- of consecration. His
way lay across tbe open meadow. Upon a a tons
bench, some fifty steps before him, eat a lad£

“My God!” he exclaimed, almost breathless,
as he rushed up to her. "Noemi. you here ?”
She turned very pale and her hand trem
bled, while her eyes fell before hie eager
lrok.
“Did you know, then, that I was here ?”
“No, no ; Iliad not tbe slightest suspicion ;
It *as mere accident, or perhaps instinct, or—
fate. Is this not a wonderful Uttle tpot ?”
There waa a pause, and each felt embarrass
ed. bnt Dieter recovered first and said : “Yon

“Yes.”
“And you did not answer ?”
"It is always psinfnl to annihilate hopes !”
“Then yon wUi not share life with me ?”
She only shook her head. stiU looking on the
ground.
“Then I have deceived myself in thinking
that you loved me. Noemi ? Oh. my God !’’
She had risen and taken a few hasty steps
forward, but she returned and looked at him
with her sonl beaming in her eyes.
“Deceived ? No—but—"
An expression of intense pain accompanied
tbe last word, then she said with a sigh:
“Let us go!”
She led the wav back, and they spake very
little to each other, and that with coolness,
as two hearts might which were agon zed.
Each ti It restrained by the last decisive
wotd Noemi stopped before a house in the
pleasure grounds.
Graudmama wiU be surprised to see, you,
she said, and by a gesture i .vited him to enter
tbe house, bnt sndlenly seeming to have an
other thought she pointed to the arbor and
said:
“Wait there, I will return immediately. She
went to tbe house and in a few minutes came
back, and taking a seat by bitn she drew a
paper from her pocket, which she gave him to
read.
"Here is an explanation of my conduct to
you at our castle—you as the enemy of my
country! The French division general, who
was to bave effected the passage of the Loire
that night (an undertaking which your vigi
lance frustrated) foresaw that our house would
be tbe central point, which the enemy would
select to make Uis observations. Here, in this
letter, he laid npon me the patriotic dnty to
keep the commander of the advance guard iu
tbe castle that night by every art aud at any
price.”
“And what else ?” asked Dieter.
“We modern women have not the talent for
such heroic deeds. The greatest of minds aud
hearts are shattered by too snbtile and deli
cate feelings. Not tbe love of my Fatherland
influenced my wish to keep you that night at
tbe castle. No—yon shall know it all. Your
sadden appearance, tbe overwhelming memory
of tbe past aud my own feelings in a moment
of forgetfnlness! Aud now with this recollec
tion and a sense of humiliation to enter into
marriage with yon?—a relation which should
b* as pure as tbe wings of au angel and undis
turbed fcy any memory of weakness or reproach
—no, no!"
Hhe made a gesture to prevent bis coming
nearer to her, and then sighing deeply said :
“Now you know why I have not answered your
proposal. You are right, ‘with passion one
loses every game.’ ”
And so they parted again.
Half a year had passed when Noemi receivod
a letter from Dieter, the last lie wrote to tier.
After au introduction, be said : “I am reliably
informed that you have lately refused an offer
from one v.ho could have given you rank,
position aud wealth, such as I could not. You
have made a sacrifice which bumbles me; or is
it no sacrifice because you do not love tbe
man ?
If you love me and will not marry me, why
should you uot marry bim whom you do not
love, or perhaps love a little less than you do
me? It is the same logic or sophistry. Tbere
is a self denial in your heart or an inward re
solve which raises you and lowers me, and this
annihilates every coDHideia ion with you and
overcomes every oonflict which might lead to
an understanding between us, either one wav
or tbe other; the one I would like best would
Le our future life together, Where is your
mistress ? ask every angle and corner of my
house and if yon do uot give mo a satisfactory
answer, Noemi, the newspapers very soon will
contain au account of a woman being stolen
to open day from the street.”
And what answer came ? In conclusion we
will only add that Noemi von Schract has been
for several years the happy mistress of a weßt-
Frussian borne, aud the grandmother who
“never could endure the Prussians.” holds one
of tbe little monsters on her lap and worries
herself about a mark which the baby has on

Baltimore, Md., June 19.— A special
dispatch from St. Michaels, T.albot
county, Md., to the Sun, says : Fred
Douglasfe, United States Marshal, for
the District of Columbia, paid a visit,
for the first time since he left here, for
ty-one years ago, to the scenes of his
youth. Mr. Douglass some time ago
expteased a wish to visit his former mas
ter, Captain Thomas Auld, a resident of
St. Michaels, Captain Auld had ex
pressed his willingness and desire to
meet his old servant, and this visit of
Douglass to St. Miohaels was mainly for
that purpose. He was received by
Judge William H. Brnff, Captain Auld’s
son in-law, who addressed him as “Mar
shal Douglass.” “No, no,” expostulat

the foipi er fprmpr servant

very pleasant tnrfingnoflt. Mr. Doug

after Ifia escape, he bad made some
statements that lapse of time aud rtflec

be said that was unjußt to his old mas

begged his forgiveness.

In the afternoon Mr. Dor, glass ad
dressed a large audience of both white

position in ’plficff hp yag piapcfl- He
said fle did pot come flerp to tpabe a
speech, He waa not here to fan the
flames Of seotional animosity, nor to
create ill feeling, nor yet to recount the
wrongs inflicted on his race for two hun
dred years, nor to go into antiquity for
matter to stir the blood and rouse the
passions, nor to indulgo in a political
harangue, nor to expound the Constitu

of’ ifllj be ftldmaefftr,
from wbem + separated for
forty-one years, to shake hts hand, to
look into his kind old face and see it

him, “not because I loved Cseiar less,

Mr. Dofigifiaa then passed ipto an
eulogy of the white raoe and its achieve

that they were in contact with the most

to bis own race it he did not tell them

A DESPERATE BURGLAR.
HB ENTERS THE BKBIDEKCE OF
MR. GOURDIN YOUNG AND
JUDGE CHISHOLM.
A Lively Heacoatre witli tfce lamates-He I*
Mortally Wounded, Bat Flffcta to tfce Last,
and Temporarily Kocapea—Hl* Captare
and Incarceration in Jail.
Friday night, about ten o’clock, a
negro burglar entered tbe residence of
Mr. Gonrdin Young, in Savannah. He
was detected, and made his escape, after
knocking Mr. Young down. His further
operations are detailed as follows by tbe
Savannah News, of yesterday :
Foiled in his purpose of robbery at
Mr. Young’s house, the negro burglar
was not discouraged, as events show,
and deliberately planned a second rob
bery in the same neighborhood, in this
instance selecting the residence of Jadge
Walter 8. Chisholm, at the corner of
Whitaker and Gaston streets. When he
entered these premises, by what means,
or how long he had been conoealed, are
matters of donbt and speculation. The
family retired about half-past eleven
o’clock, and the bouse, as nsnal, was
securely looked. About three o’olook,
a. m., judge Chisholm was awakened by
a noise as though someone was disturb
ing his pants, which were lying on a
chair at the Bide of the bed. He imme
diately threw ont his hand, and, striking
the chair, knocked it over. At the tame
time, raising up, he discovered by the
faint light in the room a figure crouch
ing. He called to his wife to turn up
the gas (which was near the opposite
side of the bed), that someone was in
the room, and at once jumped out and
made for the invader. The barglar re
treated to the next room, and was fol
lowed by Judge Chisholm, who, unfor
tunately, was unarmed. As he made a
grab for the burglar, the fellow sud
denly wheeled and
.Strnck the Jadge a Heavy Blow
In the face near the temple, knocking
him down and inflicting an ugly bruise,
and then dashed down stairs. Mean
while, Mrs. Chisholm ran to the window,
gave the alarm, calling for the “police.”
Fortunately policemen Morgan aud Hor
ton were ih the vicinity, and hearing the
alarm responded promptly. Capt. Rob
era Falligant, who lived directly oppo
site, was aroused by his wife, who had
been awakened by tbe noise, and who
informed him that there was some
trouble over at Judge Chisholm’s. He
immediately threw < n some clothing,
and seizing his pistol, hastened to the
house, reaching the door about the same
time as tbe policemen. This all oc
curred in less time than it takes to re
late it. Mrs. Chisholm came down with
a light and admitted them, tbe Judge,
having partially recovered fiom tbe se
vere blow, joining them at tbe moment.
They flrst entered the parlor to Reatch
for the thief, and whilst looking
around, Mrs. Chisholm caught sight of a
man’s feet under the piano and called
out, “There he is, shoot him.” Polioe
mau Horton wus standing nearest to
Mrs. Chisholm, who held the lamp, aDd
hardly had the words been uttered when
the negro sprang out, aud seizing the
piano stool, raised it and
Struek a Mavage Blow
Apparently at Mrs. Chisholm. Polioe
rnuu Horton, however, caught the blow
on his left arm, and dropping on his
knee, fired a shot at the black scoun
drel, who. after nimiug the blow, again
darted under the piano. Captain Falli
gant, dropping down, fired at the same
time. It is thought that Policeman
Horton’s shot took effeotjin the ohin, as a
ball passed entirely through, entering
just below the lip and coming put un
der thp throat. He was also shot in the
right knee. As soon as fire was opened
ou him, the fellow sprang from under
the piano and made a rush into the hall
way, followed by Capt. Falligant, who
managed to get a slight grip on him, at
the same time bringing his pistol direct
ly down upon him. Unfortunately, the
weapon failed to discharge, and the ne
gro, who was a powerful fellow, wrench
ing himself loose, succeeded in getting
into the dining room before Capt. Falli
gant could recock his pistol. The po
licemen and Capt. Falligant followed
him into the adjoining room. Here the
negro made a stand. The room was
perfectly dark, but the light in the hall
enabled him to distinguish his pursuers
without being seen. Capt. Falligant
rushed into the room and received
A Fearful Blow on Hie Side ol the Head
With a heavy chair which the negro had
hurled at him with all his violenoe. The
blow knocked Capt. Falligant over
against the mantel with great force, and
from thpnpg hp was thrown several yards
across the room- The blood flawed
freely from the wound, and tbe sight of
his bleeding head shooked Mrs. Chis
holm, who bad, until then, preserved
wonderful self-possession. The barg
lar, t king advantage of this sudden
stoppage of his pursuers, sped out of
the room, smashing through a glass
door, reaching the parlor again, al
though several shots were fired at him,
managed to get on the front piazza
through one of the windows opening to
the floor. This piazza extends partially
over the iron railing enolcsing the
piazza, %ho is
on dqty in' tjie b 4 been
attracted by the noise, was standing be
neath tbe piazza waiting for a ohanoe to
tutercept the burglar should he retreat
that way. He failed to hear the fellow
when he got on the piazza, in conse
quence of his being barefooted. The
neßro swung himself over the piazza
railing and

Tbe policeman followed some distance
and fired five or six shots, one of whioh,
it is supposed, inflicted the most se

that a ball bad entered his back, near

uegro was wounded in the breast-when
first fired at, whilst under the piano, aud
the hole in the back is from anqtiier
shot. It i? also believed that the wound
in the knee was iuflicted by Captain
Falligant, who deliberately h r ed the

Farther investigation discovered the
dead body of John Weldon in a corn
field, about 600 yards from the house.
Weldon had three bullet holes in his
throat and his bowels and one in his
heart, and a terrible gash around the
neck and head. Mrs. McGlurg, his
housekeeper and sister, had her head
severed from her body, and Miss Hetty
had a gash across the top of her heao.
The spectacle, as witnessed to day and
last night by thousands of spectators,
was simply hideous and terrible.
The perpetrators of the crime are sup
posed to be one William Terrel and
Joseph King, boys of about nineteen
years of age. aDd residents of that com
munity. Last Bight Terrel, while here
and in a state of intoxication, was ar
rested for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct and sent to jail. As soon as he
was in a condition to have an examina
tion, he plead earnestly with the officers
to release him, saying that he would
give them five dollars. The foul deed
had not at that time been discovered.
When it was, they held Terrel on suspi
cion. King was arrested npon the ad
vice of Terrel, who afterward made a
confession. He stated that he and King
were the parties, but he was not guilty
as he had no hand iu it. He went mere
ly upon the proposal of King to ste what
be intended to do. King asked him to
walk up to Weldon’s, and asked him it
Weldon was not in good circumstances
apd had plenty of money. He said,
‘*Yes.” They continued their walk
until they came to Weldon’s corn
field, where he was at work. With
out any words whatever. King pulled
out his revolver and shot him. Weldon
started to make his rsi ape, when King
followed, overtaking him and finishing
him with a corncutter that was in the
field on a stump. King said, “D—n
yon, I'll finish you or you will have me
hung.” He then went to the house and
dispatched the women with an ax.
King denies that he was there; says
he can sustain an alibi by proof that he
was hero in Logan at the time of the
murder, which, from all evidence, oc
curred about six o’clock Friday evening,
as the supper table was ready in the
kitohen. Not much stress is placed up
on the statement of Terrel, as he seems
to have been the leader, and probably
the only one who perpetrated the crime.
Great excitement prevails. Our streets
are thronged with people, and fears are
manifested that a party of Vigilants will
be here to-night from that vicinity. The
jail is guarded by tbe citizens. Pre
liminary examination will be held to
morrow at 9.

Meeting at Conspirators nt Washington to
Disciidd lufunt Baptism.
[From the Ohio State Journal.]
Washington, June 13.—1 happen to
know that Gaifield met Stanley Mat
thews and Joe Medill here for the pur
pose of discussing infaut baptism. It
is well known, I trust, that General Gar
field was formerly a Cawpbellite minis
ter. He believed that the word baptizo
or baplidzo should be translated to dip
or plunge, and that infants have no
right to be baptized at all. Now, every
body knows that Joe Medill, who has
studied this subject profoundly, and
who is a philosopher, as well as a civil
service reformer, holds that the word
baptizo has no specific meaning as t >
the mode or manner in which the water
shall be used, and that it will do just as
well to put the water on the mau as it
will to put the man in the water. So,
or even more so, of iufants. On the
other baud, Stanley Matthews claims
that baptism is not baptism except by
sprinkling, and that it is a strictly in
fant complaint, and that although ad
ults do sometimes take it, just as grown
men sometimes take the measles or the
mumps, yet baptism properly belongs to
the children of evangelical parents only.
He is very earnest about this, apd in the
heat of the argument he went so far as
to tell Garfield that he was as bad a
man as Nipodemus, who killed all the
children in Bethlehem one night, be
cause Garfield denied the right of in
fants to be baptized. Of course, said
Matthews, it is different with the chil
dren of infidels and Democrats and the
like—they don’t count; but to deny the
right of baptism to Presbyterian or
Methodist children is as bad as bull
dozing. And Mr. Matthews could not
help saying with great earnestness to
Mr. Medill that any man with spftli Iflose
notions about Vhf Up ttde ftf baptism as
ftjr. hfedifi h'o|dg is UHle better than a
phonographic outcast, I should
like to give all the points of this inter
esting discussion, but the conversation
was rather private, aud I don’t like to
commit a breach of confidence, unless I
oan make somebody feel ba lly by doing
so. John M. ComliY.
