[From the Marianna (Fla.) Courier. 25.]
Oil Saturday morning last, about seven
o’clock, was enacted one of the most out
rageous and inhuman acts that this com
munity have ever been cognizant of. Nev
er in the primitive days of the country', or
in the palmiest days for crime, was such a
circumstance known.
AY hile the Burgctt family, living about
one mile from this place, were at break

door of the dwelling and enquired of
young Burgett if they could get breakfast

able to ascertain the intention of the
Government of Japan toward Corea, aud,
in fact, do not think it has yet arrived at
any conclusion. It is positive, however,
that certain classes look upon the certain
ty of a struggle^ between the two coun
tries with infinite satisfaction, and are
vain enough to imagine that the govern
ment will be compelled to declare war.
Such an issue, however, may be quite as
remote as the probability of England de
daring war against Japan at the time of
the ShimonosekI fiasco.

would, perhaps, give them the desired
meal. Bent upon accomplishing their
hellish scheme, and not to be thwarted
from their purpose, one of the men asked
permission to get a drink of water, and
accordingly young Burgett took him to
the rear of the house for that purpose.
Duriug his temporary absence the other
man took up the child, which was play
ing in the ball, near the front door, and
made his way as rapidly as possible to the
woods close by. As young Burgett and
the other man were returning to where
they had left this villain, he discovered
him moving oil as hastily as possible with
the child. About this time his comrade
sprung from the house and followed.
Y oung Burgett gave the alarm, and the
remainder of the family (all women) ar
rived in time only to sec them escaping
with the innocent babe.
Tlie kidnappers were seen by several

way southward. Young Burgett informs
us that he would know them again should

them before. After their departure the
following note was found on the floor,
which was evidently written in a disguis
ed hand:
Be easy and contented about your
child, it shall be treated well, aud you
shall see it again in six weeks it is all for
its good that we take it, it shall he with
you in six weeks, shall fair better than
with you.”

efforts to rescue the child aud apprehend
the perpetrators.
So utterly fiendish, inhuman and horri
ble is the crime, that we are unable to
command words by which to express the
indignation of ourselves aud the people at
large. Should this go unnoticed, we
know not at what time and how soon oth

their breasts’ This occurrence is not less
alarming and significant than the abduc

no doubt would create equally as much

is in no condition for war ; her resources
are wholly inadequate, besides being re

How they Fight in Corea—Storming
a Foft by the Japanese-
[From the Japan Herald, October 15.]
In our last issue wo referred to the at
tack on the Japanese by the Coreans and
the subsequent retaliation of the former,
resulting iu the destruction of one Corean
fort. Through the courtesy of a resi
dent we have been favored with the fol
lowing additional information, which ful
ly confirms the remarks in our last issue :
On the second assault being made by the
Japanese twenty-seven marines were land
ed from the Unyokan, armed with Snider
"rifles, who, after some firing, succeeded
in taking possession of the fort, which is
said to have been garrisoned by about
five hundred men, though probably this
is rather an exaggeration. Whatever may
have been the exact number in the fort it
is sufficient that they could not resist the
steady firing of the marines and soou fled
in all directions. The fort was entered
and the trophies taker, were of a very
primitive and mixed character, consisting
of about twenty old matchlock guns, sim
ilar to those used by the ancient Samurai
of Japan ; forty old bronze guns about
the size of small carronades, bat of the
rudest and most primitive manufacture ;
half a dozen rusty old swords, made of
the most common material; one trideut
standard spoAr, not unlike tha three-prong
ed spears which are to be found at Kirish-
ima-zatna, in Henga ; one battle-axe stan
dard, and another mounted with plumes
of red hemp. Among other things were
three packages of books written partly in
Chinese, and also three miniature guns
manufactured on the breech-loading
principle ami mounted on spikts, upon
whieh they were supposed to revolve.
Judging from the very primitive appear
ance of these weapons, ft would appear
Around the Remains of the Late
Vice-President -Tribute of the Peo
ple to His Memory-
[Specially for the Constitution.]
Washington, Nov. 27, 1875.
Editors Constitution : The funeral
pageant has just passed, Vice-President
Wilson’s remains have left the city for liis
late home iu Massachusetts.
In the spile of the gloomy weather and
continuous rain, the display was a fine
one. The military, the marines, the fine
bands of music, the supreme court, the
president’s carriage, with a long, long line
of carriages made up an imposing scene.
The hearse was elegant with its nodding
plumes and six white horses, heavily
draped with black. The soldiers march
ed with guns reversed, to the sad funeral
dirge and kept step to the muffled drums.
For two or more hours, a minute gun was
fired, and by the time the procession pass
ed the Metropolitan hotel on Pennsylva
nia avenue, there was a dense mass of hu
man beings packed closely, to almost the
middle of the street
YYe went yesterday to see the remains, 1
lying in state, where thousands are pass
ing during the entire day. The catafalque
was placed in the centre of the rotunda
guarded by soldiers in uniform. Around
the body the crowd was dense, although
eacli new comer passed slowly by with
uncovered head.
The face of the dead was quiet and
serene, the features were not in the least
distorted, and those who knew him well,
pronounced them very natural. The
magnificent capitol was draped in mourn
ing ; the lofty columns were encircled
Avitli bands of black, and graceful festoons
extended from pillar to pillar. Inside the
rotuuda, the paintings were also draped,
but the only decoration seen about the
magnificent casket was a lovely wreath
of rare flowers. Since the late visit of
Vice-President Wilson to the south, and
his expressions of sympathy and good
will for our people, I felt more inclined
to respect his memory, and also to respect
the feeling of reverent sadness that pre
vails here in all classes of society. The
city is filling up very rapidly. Candi
dates innumerable; while hotel and
boarding houses have raised their previ
ous enormous charges to almost fabulous
rates.
The adherents of Messrs. Kerr, Cox
and Randall are coming in constantly.
All three of them are here, getting ready
for the approaching contest.
Occasional.
A terrible scene then ensued. There must
have been eighteen persons on the boat.
The mate swam ashore, but others that
were saved swam to the steamer. In all
probability all that were lost were drown
ed from the capsizing of the life-boat.—
Their shouts and cries tor aid must have
been heard for along distance.
Quickly as possible I took n boat from
the starboard side, and with our head
waiter and a deck deck boy, tried to get
around to the people in the water, but tlie
heavy ice prevented. The cries for help
continued for about ten minutes,and then
all was still.
\Y r e launched a big boat from the upper
deck, which was even with the water—
the vessel at the time being 200 feet from
the shore. I took the boat, with the sec
ond engineer, and finally reached the cap
sized boat. She was bottom upwards.and
a man !av uu her on bis back with liis feet
iu the water and ice, nearly dead. We
took him on board the steamer, put him
in the pilot’s room and covered him with
blankets.
Then l heard a noise on the outside of
our port wheel-house,which was only two
feet out of water. \\ r e worked the boat
through the ice to a spot where the cries
came from and found an elderly lady.—
She was lying oil the ice about five feet
from the wheel-house. Her body was
partly in the water—her arms holding her
up. She was still alive. AVith great dif
ficulty we got her in the boat—took her
to the steamer aud put her in the wheel
man’s room and covered her with blan
kets, but she died about two hours, after.
\Y r c then went to work to construct a
rope ferry from the steamer to the shore.
At this time at least sixty persons were
crowded together on the hurricane deck
aft. Tlie wind was blowing hard and the

could not be contented any more without

Blanch Cook’s beauty was one of the
admitted facts of Lausingbnrg, New
York, where she went to live about a
year ago. The village newspaper says
that she “moved in the best society,
and her amiability made her very popu
lar with all.” Bhe was engaged to be
married at Christmas time to Henry C-
YValbridge. a clerk in the War Depart
ment in ’Washington, and her prospects
in life seemed bright. One day she
went alone to the river and drowned
herself. A letter, written in calm lan
guage. said that her life had been a fail
ure, and that she bfid decided to end it;
and the final sentence was, “Why I do
this must be a mystery to you all.” Her
prediction is likely to prove true. An
inquest has not revealed any motive for
suicide. Her lover declares that he
knew nothing that should have made
her unhappy, and her companions say
that she was usually careless and light
hearted. The supposition is that she
became suddenly insane.

Home Affections-
The heart has affections that never
die. The rough rubs of the world never
obliterate them. They are memories of
home—only home. There is the old
tree under which the light-hearted boy
swung many a day; yonder is the river
in which he learned to swim, there is
the house in which he knew a parent’s
protection. Day, there is the room in
which brother and sister long since laid
in the yard in which we must soon be
gathered. Overshadowed by yon old
church, with a joyous troop like
himself he has often followed bis parents
to worship, and heard tiie good old man
who ministered at the altar. Even the
very school-house, associated in youth
ful days with thoughts of tasks, new
comes to bring pleasant remembrances
of many occasions that called forth some
generous exifcition of noble traits of hu
man nature. There is where he learned
to feel some of bis emotions. There,
perchance he first met the being who,
by her love and tenderness in life, has
made a home for himself happier than
that which his childhood had known.
There are certain feelings of humanity,
and those, too, among the best, that can
find no appropriate place for their ex
ercises only at one’s fireside.
