A LOYRR’S DESPERATION.
Last evening Frederick Tillizke, a
German,' aged -25, shot and.' -fatally
■wounded' a young-girl framed'Mary
-Spoerer, at her residence* 543 ■ West
Twenty-niffth street. The circum
stances which led to the shooting are
as follows : For the past two years Tii-
lizke has been paying-his. addresses to
3Hary, much against the wishes-of riser
parents. -They , were unwilling that she
should marry him, ashe.wasra journey-
maffttoo'd turner,- andeamed only?!!
a week, which was insufficient for their
support: • They forbade him the house
seyeral'times, but he persisted in call
ing - there, and. when refused admission,
-waitedion the stoop of-his. own house,
which was next door, until Mary came
out,-and went off with her.
• On Friday, evening . Frederick' called
at the house and asked Mr. Spoerer
* or the hand Of his daughter iu mar
riage, which was refused,'Mr. Spoei ex
tollinghim that when he was able to
support her he might have heiv but
untihthen lie forbade him holding any
f briber intercourse with her. Tillizke
went off muttering threats of ven
geance.
Last-bight about- eight o’clock-he
called again, and implored Mr. Spoerer
to allowrhim one more iiiter\uew with
his daughter.’ Mr. Spoerer consented
-on condition that it should he tbciast.
In front of tho-hbuse is a gai-den, in
the middle of .which is a summer house,
all covered with foliage. Frederick
and Mary went-iu to it and sat dowu'.
After they had been in there • about
■half, au-liour, their voices were heard
raised ns though in angry altercation:
No attention, however, was paid to it.
Shortly .afterwards a scream was beard-
followed in. quick succession by two
pistol shots.
Mr. and Mrs. Spoerer ran to the
summer house, and saw their daughter
lying bathed in blood. In the. con
fusion of the momentTiftizka escaped,
and ran down 29Lh street to the river,
into which.he plunged with .the inten
tion of. (frowning himself. Officer
Smith of the 37tli street police station
plunged in and rescued him. Mary,
in the meantime, was carried into the
house, and laid on a bed. She did not
complain of any train, but said she felt
very weak. . Dr. Otto Klaus, the fum-
ily.physician, was sent for, aiid on liis
arrival, be ascertained that the girl had
been shot in the lower part of the ab
domen, and that the wound, was prob
ably fatal. r The doctor dressed it, but
did not probe for the ball, as he
thought it would be better to wait un
til to-day, when he could have the ad
vice of. other surgeons.
Officer'Smith took Tillizke to Mary’s
bedside, and she said, “Take him away;
that is the man who shot me.” 'While
lying propped up on her pillow hist
night the girl said :
. Frederiok-has been keeping compa
ny with me for a long time, but my
parents, did not like it. .To-night he
called on me and took.me. out into that
litjtie : summer house in the garden. ■ .We

until finally he said as long as he
couldn’t haver me nobody else should,
and 1 that he wak going to kill me. first
and himself afterward. I did not at
first pay much attention to what'he
said, as lie had often talked that way
before, but when I he:trd the click of
the revolver I screamed, and-the Dert
thing I knew I heard the -shot ’and felt
a sharp pain .in my si la. He then fired
a second shot,, but Whether at- me of at
himself I don’t know.
Tillizke, on being taken to the i>q-
hce station, was fpHowcd by a large
crowd threatening to lynch him.—
Wfien questioned by the sergeant at
the desk as to liis motive for tbe deed,
Frederick, replied that as long as he
could not have JVLary, he didn’t want
anybody else to, and he fully intended'
killing-both her and himself. He was

United States Commissioner Wayne
has delivered-his opinion iff the ease
of some gentleman in Savannah, ar
rested at the instance of negroes for
refusing to allo w them to' ride in the

the commissioner says :
‘ITke regulation of ibis question of

The territory now comprised in the
State of Connecticut was-formerly two
colonies, Connecticut and New Haven.
The colony of Connecticut was planned
by immigrants from Massachusetts and
Windsor, in i.633, and .Hartford and
Wethersfield, 1633-36. The other col

emigrants from England in 1638. The-

the present discouraging and adverse
circumstances by which, as a people,
we are surrounded, it seems almost
impossible to welcome, as we should,,
this bright-faced :goddes3 ; lifftr if we
will make up our minds to the task it
will prove a pleasant one, and by the
readiness with which we cultivate her
acquaintance, we increase our own
happiness and that of others. Charles
Lamb was wont, to say that- “h, laugir
was worifra thousand groans and Dr.
Johnson once asserted that looking on
the bright side-of every tiling was worth
35,000 salary- Now, would itr not. be
a capita! idea, as such salaries 'are few-
and far between, at least for Southern
people, for them to" try and find a bright
side somewhere ? .Although" matters
are bad they might be worse/and when
we remember that eheerfolness and
diligence are the life .and. soul of'strc-
cess,” how earnestly should we court the
presence of this pleasant visitor, that
we may he enabled to look upon ■ the
virtues and not the faults of others ;
to refrain from brooding over the past,
and-study how the future may be made
bright and cheery.—Field and Factory.
A colored pireaclier at Sparta, Ga.,

A VEipnAN observer says ‘T .never
of the crimes, capture, and biai if a
band of brigands^, who infested the
mountains between Nagles and Leg-
-horn. Tilippo Casabianca, the chief,
mid six of his. .companions were sen
tenced to death". "Tile, letter says cif
their executions, which took place on
the day of. its date :
They were men of_ powerful iiuiifi,
each of them when captured,', wearing
a heavy beard, and their laces were.
fuiTowed and swarthy from continual
exposureto the sun and weather.—
Filippo Gasabianca’8. features were
classical mid would have suited emi
nently as a model for a Roman Warrior
or gladiator.
Ou Friday morning, at 5 o’clock, a
company of gendarmes marched , into
the cortile of San Celeste prison and
ranged themselves on both sides of the
first scaffold eyer erected in that quar
ter, The platform was spacious, and
a long trap door was in the centre.—?
Dressed.in prison garments, shorn of
their beards and wearing, black cotton
gloyes, the prisoners moved out in
siugle.file, flanked by clergyman and
civic officials. . Before entering the
cortile they were met- by a group of.
monlis witli lighted torches, who led
the living funeral and chanted in dis
mal-strains the psalm of David, Dq
profundis. On reaching the scaffold
the monks formed a passage through
which the prisoners might pass, and
when, the seven men toqfej their . stand
on the drop the friars knelt and
prayed.
Beside Filippo OasabraEmi stood an
old and tottering priest. The sorrows
and anxieties of a loDg mission were
written in the wrinkles of his face,
and to-day, in particular, the old man’s
heart seemed more than ever burdened.
Earnestly, piously and affectionately
did he'utter his final words to the
doomed brigand, and those words
brought back to the hardened outlaw’s
heart all tbe best feelings and all the
goodness of Ins childhood.' This. was.
the priest'for whom Filippo had asked
in court, and it was this good man who
first heard Filippo's .confession, and
who taught him the rudiment® of a
sound education. Three of the brig
ands refused to receive a priest. At
the appointed hour the magistrate
redd the sentence of death to each
prisoner. The, noose attached to the
neck was hooked to a strong rope
which hung over the head of each. All
this being done and everv noose tested,
three bolts were drawn simultaneously
and Filippo Casablanca and six of his
companions were no more.. The space
underneath the trap-door was covered
by a screen, as it was forbidden that
the bodies should he- exposed ‘ after
death. . -
Filippo Casabianca belonged to one
of the best families in Piedmont,'aud
his. mother lives in Rome to-day, an
estimable and virtuous lady. -
Capture of a Sick Whale.—On the
15th of June last Capt. Oniton, of tlie
ship Josephine Oulton, saw a whale
lying on the surface near Cape. Clear,
perfectly quiet an'd evidently sick.
Birds were playing around it, and
some had commenced picking on it.
There were two small holes in the .body
picked by the birds. The captain
launched boats and. began cii'ttmg antf
there was no struggle whatever, the
-whale being too far gone. They cut
him up and took him on .board. They
secured at least A,000 gallons of oil,
smd threw away, unknowingly, at-least
•three ban-els of ambergris, worth oun
for ounce with gold- The; -whale was
about seventy feet in length, the head
measuring twelve feet.
THE PRESIDENCY.
We let the great Irish American and
patriot, John Mitchell, tell-what he
knows about the Presidency, as follows:
" Horace Greeley is to -he -<mr Chief
Magistrate for tlie next term. The fact
is .coming iiito clearer Tight; and im
pressing itself more decidedly- upon
the country. Grant and liis various.
ill-bmened crowds of office-holders bs r
gin to be regarded, as some brood 1 of-'
night-hawks 'and other nocturnal.birds
of prey, making ready to flee, at the
dawu of morning. The citizens'of this
country are'awakened to new. energy
and purpose, thinking that, perhaps,
after all, they and their children, and
land of their birth or adoption;' are’
not'inevitably' predestined- to grove!"
and welter forever tinder the brutal
despotism- and shocking demoraliza
tion mtc which the United States has
certainly fallen since the war. We have
had enough of war, and war-presi
dents, war-taxes,- ivar-contrabts; war-
commissions, aiid war-elections Na.v
let irs bhve peace ! . .
The" candidature of" Horace Greeley;
which was at first received -iu many
quarters with a senseless laugh, is now
certaifflynp joke,; the.cause which he
represents is coming more plainly into
view, and the strongest and-wisest men
in the Bepnblie are drawing around
him. The .pronouncements of infLi :
eutiM journals, the labors of comimt-
tees in every city and State,, the meet
ings of warm approval and ratification
which have followed that of bold hon
esty, the acceptance at. Baltigiore of
the Cincinnati platform and e’aiididate
—these things are filling up,the daily’
papers ; aud it would he utterly im
possible within our space even to enu
merate them. The campaign, has fairly
begun, and it-wilt be eagerly fought
out. To.predict is perilous ;. the ene
my, that is the existing Government,
has immense resource of corrupt in
fluence, all of which will. be remorse-'
lessly used, aud all at our cost.; also..
we admit, our vrishes mislead our
judgement a little bub still within
four months, as ivo’iCalcalate, Greeley
will-have been elected President of the
United States. . '
Then therq.will arise some hope, find
even well 'grounded expectation, that
this country is yet to see a return to "the
maxim and principles of-gWbmment
practiced in the earlier days of .the Re
public. Our intercourse with foreign-
nations will recover- somewhat of the
dignity which oflateit had wholly lost.

The topic most strongly urged upon
the country by Grant’s creatures, is tlie-
reductfoff pf the natiofrat Retrt by. three
hundred million dollars 4ff less than
four years, and reduction of taxation
by fifty or; sixty'millions. But-in the
first place we.haveno confidence in thb
figures or statements of the Treasury 1
and even , if these figures and state-
men ts-be correct, we answer that six
hundred millions ought.to have been
paid oft r instead.of three hundred! and
taxation ought to have been-reduced by
one hundred millions instead of fifty
(Grant and his rings have no right to-
maina ci'edit for"anything in this ; tee
eoduffyo credit coultl not be hurt, or
the extravagance, and-corruption at-
Washington would have hurt it; and,
as to.the payment of the national debt,
itis'tfie multitude.of hardyimmigrants
pouring-in. year after year, with fibttf
money and industry, that reallyr swells
our national Treasnry-to bursting, and
floated the Hepnblic over-its most per
ilous time. If so mnch has been, ae-
complished under Grant and his broth
ers-m-law, what may not -fife looked
for in four y'eata'of an honest economic,
administration; such as may really be
anticipated, if Mr.'GreeJey'be elected.
This will become, , once more, a dand
fit to live in.
Those who contemplate wearing
silks will do well to lay iu a stock, as
it is stated that the French' market,
especially:of Lyons, is in ah nnusually.
depressed state, a u d_ the rinmu factories
are manifestly discouraged. Lately,
there has been an impost levied . upon
home manufacture, and from various
Causes, the yield of raw silk' will be
much less-than of other years, at an
advance of fifteen per cent. Pur
chasers arc few, and bargains in ex
porting still fewer. Added to these
difficulties, tee French ha ve to emtend
with a revival of foreign- competitions
iii Germany, Sivitzeidand and England,
within tee last fito years, these coun
tries having doubled then- exports of
silk.
The Ehglish Anti-Tobacco Society,
desiring practical evidence of tee evil
effects of tobacco, .took into their -ser--
vice Professor Newman. This gentle
man had never used tobacco-in . any
form; and the agreement was that- he
should take" a good smoke, get sick }
and then- describe-his horrible sensa
tions/in a course jof-lectures. Iff . ful
fillment of this, the professor smoked
a pipe for half- an hour; but, singular
ly- enough, instead of getting sick,
awoke to the fact teat-lie.- had discov
ered a new source of pleasure, amt,
■far from being utterly disgusted, has;
continued to, smoke ever since, greatly
to thfe.discoiu'agetnent of the society.
