[U o a the St. Louis Democrat.]
During the war hundreds of
scoundrels took advantage of the
situation to plunder the defenseless
in the districts overrun and laid
waste by armies. They robbed
and murdered without hesitation
or regard to sentiment Their
han Is were against every man, and
every man s hand was against them.
One of the most ferocious and bon’
ribie creatures of this class was
known to live in the Ozark Moun^
tains, near the Arkansas and Mis»
souri State line, and in a very short
time he was spoken of and feared
in that region, both by citizen- and
soldiery. The name of the ruflian,
robber and red-handed murderer
was I-rank Burton, and he was
originally a horse-thief in A rkan
sas, but was so closely pursued into
Texas, by a crowd bent on lynch
ing him, that he concluded to seek
pastures now, and found them in
the Ozark Mountains. Forsyth,
Mo., and Carrolton, Ark., are about
forty miles apart, and at the side of
the road between them Burton
selected his place of abode. lie
built a half hut at the mouth of a
natural cave in the side of the
mountain, about 400 feet above
the road, and there lived alone.
Few people saw him and lived to
relate it afterward. He always
carried a long rifle and heavy side-
arms, nnJ would.

come within range of his gun. After
his deeds begun to be kuown a
detachment of Federal soldiers was
sent after him at half a dozen dif
ferent times, but alwaj’S returned
one two or half a dozen men short.
Burton wore an old butternut suit,
much the color of the trees arid
rocks on the mountain side, and
was an adept at hiding himself and
slipping from bush to bush without
b ring seen. On one occasion
company of twenty or thirty men
limited him for a week, and"at last
got him on a mountain, which they
- surrounded. They then started up j one within pistol shot of him out o,

at the first word of remonstrance.
Two Federal soldiers, in a camp
seven miles from the spot, con
cluded to
ATTEMPT HIS CAPTURE,
and obtaining leave of absence,
started for the house. Before leav
ing camp they dressed themselves
in dirty, tattered linen clothing,
although the month was Novem
ber, and the weather was bitterly
cold. One of them was Zachariah
Thomas of Co A, First Iowa cavalry,
and the other was a member of the
Tenth Illinois cavalry, whose name
is forgotten. On approaching the
house, they concealed their pistols
in the woods, and without arms of
any kind entered the clearing and
bailed the woman. It was then
about twilight, and both men were
shivering with cold and fear, and
Thomas afterwards said he would
have given anything he possessed
to have been out of the scrape.
The woman answered the call, and
they told hex that they wanted to
see Burton. She said he was not
there, but they insisted that they
must see him, and would remain
until he came. The woman finding
that they were obstinate, at last
consented to let them remain
over night, and promised to send
her son for Burton in the morning.
They passed a miserable and anxi
ous night, and rose- long before
daylight About eight o’clock the
boy returned and reported that he
had found Burton and informedhiin
that two men « ere waiting to see
him. Burton had answered that
be would come over, and in a few
minutes afterward appeared at the
while Barton wasatillon his hands
and knees, sprung on his back,
and using both Hands showred
blow after blow upon his head.
CRUSHING HIS SKULL,
in at almost every stroke. When
satisfied at last that the wretch was
dead, Thomas dropped the poker,
and the men, completely unnerved
with the terrible struggle, laughed
hysterically. The woman, vho
had been a terrified spectator of
the scene, and who had, after the
blow, wrung her hands and cried,
11 For God’s sake, don’t let him get
up or we are all lost,” fell to the
floor in a dead faint The soldiers
dashed a part of the contents of the
water-bucket over, and soon restor
ed her to conscieusness. They
then took Burton’s rifle and side-
arms and started for the camp,
leaving the body on the hearth.
They had proceeded but about a
quarter of a mile when they heard
the woman scream, and turning,
saw her beckoning to them to re
turn. Not knowiug what she
wanted, they ran back and saw
the most horrible sight they had
ever witnessed. Burton, whom
they had supposed dead, still a
spaik of life in iris ugly body, and
after they left had gained Iris hands
and knees and endeavored to crawl
away.

and, as his head was beaten to a
jelly, he of eourse knew nothing,
although he had groped around
until lie had found the door, and
on his hands and knees was crawl

had no difficulty in obtaining the

We doubt if a more thrilling
spectacle has ever been presented
under canvas on the Pacific coast
than that which has been for the
past two evenings introduced here
in the Italian circus of Jackson
street—the double trapeze perform
ance of M’lle Millie' Grace and
Ilenry Clark, who have electrified
the public by their marvelous
double acts in mid air. The pro
priety of such exhibitions, attend
ed as they are by imminent peril to
the life and limb of the performers,
may well be doubted: but so long
as the public crave the excitement
of seeing their fellow mortals peril
their livts for its amusement, so
long will the excitement be furnish
ed.
It is difficult to give an accurate
idea of the blood-curdling spectacle.
The lady is a model of female grace
and beauty, lithe and supple as a
cat in every movement, but giving
no outward indication of the mar
vellous strength required to act her
difficult and perilous part. As she
made her appearance in the ring,
an involuntary murmur of admira
tion arose from the dense throng of
spectators; she smiles a graceful
acknowledgement standing beneath
the trapeze, and grasping a line,
ascended hand over hand, and takes
her place on the bar, twenty feet
above the ground, where she is join
ed an instant afterward by her
fellow performer. A moment of
rest, and then follow, in rapid suc
cession, all the difficult poses and
dangerous acts usually performed
on the trapeze, everything being
done with an apparent ease and
confidence that elicits rounds ofap
plause.
Another rest, and then Mr. Clark
glides to the upper bar, and then
follow a series of feats exciting to
the last degree, the interest being
generally intensified by the idea
that one of those accomplished and
daring performers is a woman.

others bad recovered from their

party at last reached tho rock only
to find that the assassin had dis
appeared without leaving a trace.
\V bile looking for his track they
again heard the crack of his ritle,
and another of their number
dropped dead. This continued until
terror took possession oi the party,
and they beat a hasty retreat, near
ly one-half of those remaining be-
iug convinced that the object of
their search was something more
than mortal. The General in com
mand of that district at last offered a
large reward for the head of the
scoundrel, and the reward was in«
creased when it was found that he
continued to rob and kill unmoles
ted. hive thousand dollars was at
last offered tor him dead or alive,
and a description of him was prin
ted aud circulated among the troops.
He was described as short and
heavy-set, with immense and mus
cular hands and arms. His hair
rough unkempt beard were black
as the plumage of a crow, and
was utterly filthy and disgusting in
appearance, as he sometimes did
not wash his face or hands in weeks.
The neighbors living too near him
be killed or drove away, and it is
said, and probably with truth, that
he murdered no less than one hun
dred and eighty persons while in
that region. One family living
within a couple of miles of his cave
he spared for his own convenience.
The family consisted of the father,
a HALF-WITTED PUNY CREATURE,
rite wife and one child, a boy ten
or twelve years old. Burton, when

visited foe house and forced them
olurnish him with provisions. He

Thomas, who was thin and very
pale, acted as spokesman, and in
formed him that they had a few
days before escaped from a Federal
prison at Springfield, and that they
were on their way South. They
had heard of him, and knowing
that he was well provided with
such things, came xo him for horses,
clothing and arms. They professed
to be able and willing to pay when
they reached home, and promised
to send him the money. Burton
replied that he had no more sympa
thy for a Southerner than for a
Northern man, and that
IIE HAD NO FRIENDS.
He murdered and robbed both
sids, and did not projwise to assist
any one. The men urged that
they were perishing with the cloth
ing they had on, and would either
freeze or starve to death if he did
not assist them. Burton said lie
could furnish them with an easier
death, and thought he had better
kill them and put them .out of their
trouble. Looking at Thomas'
emaciated figure and white face, he
added, with horrible humor, that
the skeleton could not live long,
any way, and might as well be
hustled out of the world at once.
The two men, whose teeth were
chattering with fear and cold, but
who dared uot approach the lire
without permission, stood in silence
while he munched hi3 breakfast
and uttered his ghastly jokes. He
at last finished his meal, and, pick
ing up his rifle, placed it across his
knees as he seated himself in front
of the fire, and gave" them permis
sion to approach. They drew up
chairs and seated themselves on
each side of him, and again urged
him to give them horses and arms,
saying that it could afford him no
gratification to
KILL TWO MISERABLE DEVILS
like them, and that they would be
forever grateful to him for assists
anca Burton told them to stop
their folk and he would let them
know what he would do with them
after he had smoked a pipe. Draw
ing bis pipe from his pocket, he
slowly whittled some tobacco from
a hard twist and filled the bowl.
Thomas, who was at his right hand,
reached out, and, raising the heavy
iron poker in his hand, poked an
ember out of the fire for him to
light his pipe with. Burton stoop
ed down to put it in the bowl, when
Thomas, with thespringof a panther,
gained his feet and dealt the ruffian
a fearful blow across the back of
his Lead with the poker. Jlis
companion at the same instant gras
ped the muzzle of the rifle and
snatched it from his lap. Burton
pitched forward on the hearth, but,
although stunned, still endeavored
to clutch at his rifle-stock. Thomas
had no intention of allowing his ado
Vantage to slib from him, and,
to speak of his adventure, and
shudders involuntarily when the
subject is alluded to. What be->
came of his companion our inform

Plant Trees.—Every man who
owns a piece of laud should plant trees
along the lanes. It is due to his
children who are to come after him. It
is a beautiful custom in Germany to
set one fruit tree for every child bora.
This is special property of the child for
wliome it is set out. He protects and
cultivates it, and as he grows up he
looks upon his tree os a twin brother.
A feeling of affection and veneration
is thus engendered, and love for hor-
ticultur fostered and promoted among
the whole population.—Ex.

I have seen various methods for
keeping these insects off plum trees,
but none so simple, nor yet so effec
tual as the folia wing:—Soak corns
cobs in sweetened water until
thoroughly saturated, then suspend
them to the limbs ot the trees a lit
tle while after blos;oming, being
sure to burn the cobs after the fruit
ripens, as they will be found full of
young insects. A good plan is to
change the cobs every few weeks.
My theory is this:—that the insects
deposit their eggs in the cobs in
preference to doing so in the young
plums. Tho first season I tried it
upon one or two only, and in the
summer was rewarded by a good
crop of as fine plums as ever ripen
ed, while those on the other trees
fell off when about ball grown.
Next spring found sweetened corn
cobs dangling from the limbs of all
ray plum trees, and the summer
found them fall of delicious fruit.

Mr. A. L. Fish stated that twelve
years ago he drew out 3000 loads

and mixing in with the soil. The
result was good crops without
further cultivation. Two years
later he drew out 4000 loads, and
applied it at the rate of 100 loads U Madtactof

rpHE ALDINE, while issued with
JL all the regularity, has none of the temporary
or timely interest characteristic of ordinary period
icals. ft is an elegant miscellany of pure, light,
and graceful literature, and a collection of pictures,
the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in block and
white. Although each succeeding number affords
afresh pleasure to its friends, tha real value and
beauty of The Aldine will be most appreciated af<
ter it has been bound up at the dose of the year.—
While otherpublic publications may claim superior
cheapness as compared with rivalsof a similar class,
The Aldine is a unique aud original conception—
alone and unapproached—absolutely without com
petition in price or character. The possessor of the
volume just completed cannot duplicate the quan
tity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape
or number of volume* for Un Urn** iU cent.
The labor of getting The Aldine ready on the
press is so great that reprinting is out of the ques
tion. With the exception of a small number spe
cially reserved for binding, the edition of 1871. is
already exhausted, aud it is now a scarce as well as
valuable book.
NEW FEATURES FOR 1872.
ART DEPAr.TMEXT.
The enthusiastic support so readily accorded to
their enterprise, wherever it has been introduced,
has convinced tha publishers of The Aldine of the
soundness of their theory that the American pub
lic would recognize and heartily support any sin
cere effort to elevate the tone and standard of illus
trated publication *. That so many weakly wicked
sheets exist and thrive is not evidence that there
market for anything better—indeed the suc
cess of The Aldine from the start is direct proff of
the contrary. With a population so vast, and of
such varied taste, a publisher can chrxkse his pa
trons, and bis paper is rather indicative of his own
than of the taste of the country. As a guarantee
of the excellence of this department, the publish
ers would beg to announce during the coming year*
specimens from the following eminent American
artists:
W. T. Richards, Granville Perkins, James Smiley,
Ifm. liart, F. O. C. I»ar!ey R. E. Pig net,
Win. Beard, Victor Nehlig, Frank Beard,
GeorgeSmiley, Wm. H. Wilcox, Paul Pixcn.
Aug. Will, James H. Beard, J. Hows.
These picture* are being reprtxlueed without re
gard to expense by the very best engravers in the
country, and will bear the severest critical compar
ison with the best foreign work, it being the deter-
mination of the publishers that The Aldine shall
b*4}uccessful vindication of American taste in
conlBetition with any existing publication in the
world.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT,
so much is paid to illustration and get up
of the work, too much dependence on appearance*
way very naturally he feared. To anticipate such
misgivings, it i* only necessary to state that the
editorial management of The Aldine has been in
trusted to Mr. RICHARD HENRY STODDARD,
who has received assurances of assistance from a
host of the most popular writers and poets of the
country.
THE VOLUME FOR 1872
will contain nearly 300 pages, and about 250 fine
engravings. Commencing with the number for
Tanuary, every third number will contain a Iteau-
tiful tinted picture on plate paper, inserted as a
frontispiece.
The Christmas number for 1872 will be a splendid
volume in itself, containing fifty engravings (four
in tint) and, although retailed at $1, will he sent
ithout extra charge to all yearly subscribers.
A CHROMO TO EVERY SUBSCRIBER
