CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. A Vi lit to Michael Madison's Grave R 9. calls a Celebrated California Execu tion. From the Nth Frane.it co Alia California. A dingy, nw-s grown sl.it, occupies u w m;• ‘ obscure and alone” la the Mission Cemetery. Weeds grow in tangled eou fu-ion about it and well-nigh hide it from the view of the passer-by. If, however, the passer-by is anyway curious and pushes the •weeds and wild flowers aside letters can be distinguished on the age-stained stone. They form tlie following inserip t a: "Michael Madison, lorn lSta, died 1833.” In these brief words there is nothing to indicate anything other than Michael Madison lived and died like thou sands of other human beings. Yet the in scription is the index to a strange life his tory, and there are many of the pioneers of the eariy days who can remember Michael Madison and the circumstances of his dentil. H has never'been written, and, therefore, is worthy of being recorded among the an nals of the days when the Stab* was in its infancy, and the argonauts who crossed the plains and tlie main to reach the golden shores were in full possession. Michael Madison was a native of New Hampshire, and he canto to this State in 1851. As indicated by his birth, he was young and Was imbued with all the energy and ambition of ardent youth. He located in Sutter county, not far from where the original discovery of gold was made two years before. At that time Adam’s camp was the head center of the gold seekers in that section. It was a thriving camp anil presented the usual typical phflos of min ing life. Young Madison staked out a claim and entered heartily into the work of trying to wash a yellow fortune out of tho dirt of the canon. He had not been engaged in this occupation three (lays when another stranger came to tho camp. The new arri val was a great overgrown Irish lad. with a shock of red hair, and a rich brogue. Ho was endowed with a fund of genuine mother wit, which made him a favorite with every one in the camp within ton hours of his ar rival. A warm friendship sprang up be tween Madison and the young Irishman, whose name was Burke.' The result was that Burke and Madison went into partner ship in the latter’s claim. They occupied the same tent, and throughout the day worked side by side. So tii lie went oh for several months. It was in the spring of 1&52, and tho two miners prospered. Their claim was good for several ounces a day.and gradually tliey laid by a sack or so of dust. Burke was fond of talking of his success, and he never visited Doc Cie’s saloon, the leading one of the camp, but what he spoke of his “dust” laid by, and how he hoped, if prosperity still smiled upon him, to take a trip back to Ireland and bring out his sweet-heart—a rosy-cheeked Irish girl—to take care of tho house he would build. On the niornsng of April 24, 1852, Madi son rushed down the main thoroughfare of the camp—there was ouly one thoroughfare —and in wild and excited tones cried out that Burke had Iran murdered in tlie night. The assassin had entered the tent occupied by the two while ho (Madison) was away, and had murdered Burke and stolen all the gold dust belonging to them. He had also dragged Burke’s laxly away. There was great excitement in a moment. An investigation showed that in the main Mad ison's story was correct. A trail of blood and the mark of footsteps were plainly visible from the door of the tent of tlie two partners. The trail was followed up and was lost on the brink of a deep ravine near camp. Madison was the chief mover among the investigators. Search was made at the bottom of the ravine, but Burke’s body could not be found.- In the midst of the general confusion a one-eyed Mexican rushed, up and furiously cried out that Madison was the murderer of his partner. His accusation was scoffed at, as Madison was considered above suspicion. “Search him:” cried the Mexican. “I see the two fight this morning, and he stab other man and take tho gold dust. He’s got some in his pocket, and lie hid some over in the ch&pparuL” The man spoke so earnestly that inquir ing glances were cast at Madison. Strangely enough, his cheeks wore blanched, and he looked decidedly nervous. “Gentlemen,” said Madison, “this is a grave charge to make against me. I know you’ll not believe I would wrong Burke. The Mexican is right in one thing, about the money. 1 have got a part of our money in my pocket, and, at Burke’s suggestion, I hid some gold dust in tho bushes over there. ” “That'senough, Mike Madison,” said big Tom Jones, the acknowledged marshal of the camp, who, 011 account of sundry little differences which ho hurl had over card games with Madison, was no friend of his, “I’ll have to take you into custody unless this mvstery is cleared up.” And he placed Madison under arrest. The one-eyed Mexican repeated his story, and was so positive in liis statements that a ma jority of those who had been friends of Madison actually began to think him guilty. The gold dust was found where the Mexican pointed it out. Slowly but surely the tide of popular sentiment went against Madi son. Courts in those pioneer days were not conducted on exactly the same principle as are our departments at present. There was mighty little ceremony intheim panelmcnt of a jury or the selection of a judge. The open air was the court room. Michael Madison was placed on trial for the murder of his partner. Twelve “good men and true” wre selected to act a.4 jurors. The one-eyed Mexican was tho principal witness. Ho described tho killing of Burke as he claimed to have seen it. Tne men, he said, had quarreled just outside of their tent, and in a passion Madison stabbed his friend. What was done with the body the Mexican did not know. His broncho had run away and lie chased him. After catching the animal he returned to camp just in time to accuse Madison of the crime of murder. Testi mony was also adduced to show that Madi son and his partner had quarreled on more than one occasion. I.ittle time was wasted by the jury in delilterating on tho matter. Madison's protestations of innocence were not looked ujxui favorably. Tho verdict was guiity, and that the prisoner bo “strung up" inside of twenty-four hours. Justico in those days wax tueted out in short order. The some night the moon, as it enmo up from behind the high Sierras, shed a ray of light through a clump of trees near Adam’s ramp, ami plavea with a ghastly light upon Ihe cold, p.-tie face that was dangling from one of the branches. The ljotly was that of Mi-hnel Madison. He had received, ac cording to the idea of Adam’s campites, his da for a dastardly crime. Throe days after Michael Madison had expiated with bis life the crime of which lie was accused, a lagged jaded-looking man crawled along the road leading to Adam’s camp. He hod re I hair, and his face was covered with an unkempt red beard. “■lark Burke, by God!” cried Doc fie, as the man tottered into the saloon and l'gan to make pantomimic actions t>> indicate that he waajdry. Whisky was given him and he recovered somewhat. The news of Ins arrival spread around the camp like " ildlire, utni the miners came in crowds to gn/.i upon him wlsiru they thought was murdered. Questions were put to Hark", but he answered only with a wild roll of Ids eye* ami a grimace. Then It was seen that. Burke was crazy. Ho was mad as the typi cal March hare. The “good men and true"of Adam’s camp h It decidedly bud when they realized what a horrible mistake they bn l made.

CASTLES IN THE AIR. A Great Scheme to Build a Town En tirely of Glass. fYonc the Macon (ffa.) Telegraph. About a year ugo, or perhaps a little longer than that, a gentleman, very well known in railroad circles, came into Macon and his movements were so singular that his friends were led to believe he was a trifle daft. The truth is he was in possession of a secret, and all of us have, at one time or another, had such an experience. Let. a man have a secret and ho is never happy until lie finds some oue to share it with him. That is the rule tho world over. This man was simply human, and lie told his secret, and that too, to the reporter. Then he felt better, and they say he went out of town with a more complacent smile on his face. Now that it has been so long ago that no harm can come of telling it, having expired by the statute of limitation, you might say, so here goes: In the back room of a certain lawyer’s office, our rail road friend unrolled what appeared to be the map of a well-laid oil town or city. There were railroads crossing the centre at right angles, street car lines, and any num ber of public buildings, etc. When the map was unrolled our friend hitched his chair up closer and thus unbosomed himself: “You know we are grading* railroad over here,” pointing In a certain direction, “and I hnvo made the discovery that there is an inex haustible quantity of a peculiar sand which has undergone all the necessary tests and fusions, and will make a glass, the like of which the world has not known since tho days of the ancients. The glass made of it is semi-transparent, having a milky tint,and while as hard as steel is tough and flexible to a certain degree. The heavy stroke of a sledge, hammer cannot break it. I find by the tests that I have modi that when once melted it will not melt again. It is easily molded into any shape, and I can turn out blocks for bricks and building stones much more rapidly than any brick-making ma chinery in tlie world, and as cheaply, as the sand requires 110 other mixture. It is sim ply sifted, melted and poured into molds, i can mase rails for railroads, and in fact all the machinery of a locomotive or any machine you can think of from it. This town you see drawn off here is to bo built entirely of glass, every building is to be of it, the streets are to be paved with blocks of glass, the sowers, piping, street car tracks, and in fact, everything, will be built of huge blocks of glass. The public building wifi be built of blocks of glass, and will re semble iu architectural beauty tho most beautiful and elaborate castles of the Old World. The town, which will be one mile square, will be surrounded by one large con tinous building two stories high, with arches over the entrances to each street. In this great building I propose to place work men who will work entirely in glass, mak ing everything possible that is now made of glass, iron, brass, copper, tin, celluloid, etc. The comb that you comb your hair with will l>e made from iny glass, even to the handle in your pocketknife. I shall revo lutionize manufactories in this country be cause everything made of this glass can be made from ten to one hundred per cent, cheajier than of any other material. My town will be the wonder of the world. Just think of a town of glass, magnificent hotels, churches, business houses, dwellings, streets, fences, and everything else you can think of and all made of glass, perfectly inde structible and tire proof. People will flock to it merely out of curiosity. They will 1 come thousands of miles to see it. Here is the town laid off, and I have had it drawn so that it will have every possible conven ience, making it not only the most wonder ful town, but the model town of the world.” And thus did this schemer tell of tho scheme. He was not daft, but enthusiastic over a project the details of which overawed the newspaper man. Then the railroader swore his listener into secresy and left with the map under his arm to organize a company to operate the glass. He was lost to sight un til the other day when he came iu town, but there was nothing unusual in his de meanor to indicate that he was still guard ing a secret. He met the newspaper man, who took him into a convenient stairway and askeJ him about the crystal city. “I gave that up,” he said, with a sigh, “busi ness men seemed afraid to take hold of it.” That was all he said, but the scribe was of the opinion that the sand did not pan out. But it was a wonderful scheme. The King of Birds in This Instance was a Crow. From the Memphis Avalanche. As I approached a fence behind which were a mule, crow, and eagle, the eagle was in the act of helping himself to the mule’s eye. The crow looked longingly at tho im jiending feast, evidently not. at all eager to lay violent hands upon the national emblem, hut tlie sight was too appetizing. He Imp lied nearer and dipped his beak in. En raged, the eagle turned savagely upon him and gave a rake with his claws. The crow hopped to one side anil looked at his assail ant reproachfully. Tlie eagle resumed and the crow returned to the joint feast. Again the remonstrated in a clawyer-like manner. Tho crow unable to stand tho in dignity, gavo a peck in return, and at once tne eagle began to crawl all over him. The eagle, to my surprise, appeared to lie unable to peck. Ho relied upon his claws and used his beak in an attempt to tear the flesh of his antagonist. The crow tried to peck out the eye of the eagle and tho eagle tried to claw the throat of the crow. The battle ebbed and flowed with varying tide. Tlie two wild creatures fluttered and whirl ed, turning over and over, hissing and caw ing and croaking. Feathers flew right and left. At one time tlie eagle got his foot caught under the crow’s Wing, while the latter pecked his head unmercifully. Then again tho crow hod his breast raked clean of feathers. Both soon became exhausted. The eagle had in some way injured one leg. for he limped painfully away during a lull in tho battle, nut a triumphant <aw from the crow brought him back. After another spell of hard fighting, an hour by Shrewsbury, clock, tlie light ceased anil victory jiereheil I uion tho banner of the crow. The un- | guarded step of the eagle threw him for- 1 ward, and as he fell, his eye came in reach j of the crow's bill. The latter at once seized I hi* opportunity, and the eye of the eagle was gone. Blinded and bewildered, he seized the Isxiy of tho ciow in his talons and mounted into the air. Ho rose higher and higher, th* cawing of the crow increasing in volume a* lm roso. Then the wings of the noble bird began to give way, his (light ceased and he started toward tho earth, falling like Lucifer in tin morn of creation. The wings of the crow were unavailable, niul tie* two fail heavily to the ground. But the crow fell on top, the dead body of ins enemy below.

A Man Who Never Wants a Job Longer Than Six Months. From the Macon {(ia.) Telegraph. There is an odd genius engaged in the railroad business who has worked on every foot of the freight trains from the foot-rest of the pilot as flagman to the caboose as conductor, and often in his career has been the conductor on the limited express. He says liis home is wherever lie hangs Up his hat, but really Macon is his native town. He has worked on every rood in the United States, and a few weeks ago he came back from a six months' job on a Mexican railroad. He is of a fidgety, restless nature, and a job of more than six months’ duration grows monotonous. \V hen he gives up one position he hops on another road and takes any place offered him, whether it bo train-hand or engineer, hrakeruan or conductor. If he starts at the lowest round he soon works his way up, as he is one of the best railroad men in the country. As might be supposed, a man of such extensive travel and U|>s and downs would be full of rich experiences. Having worked on all the roads, from those characterized in the famous remark of the late Col. Wadley as being “two streaks of rust and a right of way” to tho finest ballasted double track, he cun tell you without hesitation tho inner side of any road in tho country. He thinks the Arkansas roads the worst in the world and tolls some hard things .about them. On one of these roads the people In some of the towns ring the church bells whenever the train gets in on time. During the six months he worked on tho road the bells rang twice. A train starts out and then stops all along tho line, sometimes for repairs and sometimes to wait on a sick engineer. One train laid up at a little town ho long that they ran our friend, who was the conductor, for town marshal and elected him. He was able to be sworn in and make several arrests before orders were received to pro ceed with his train. A drummer hopped on his train one Saturday night and asked him what time he was due in Little Rock. Our friend replied, “Well, we’ll probably get there some time to-night I hope, but wo wore due there last Monday morning.” He says tho dust out there is simply awful. It is not only black but accumulates in drifts. It was often the ease that all hands und the passengers were compelled to get out mid shovel the dust from the track before the train could proceed. It was often that this dust would blacken the faces of his crew so that he could not tell them and many a time ho has asked them for their fare. There was one flagman so completely disguised by the dust that the conductor wouldn’t bc lievo him to be one of his own hands until he produced his switch key. And so it went. He tells these stories by the yard. It some times happened that when he couldn’t get a job on the railroad, he would do something else. In a Texas town he took a position ns bar tender. 110 kept, on an average, drunk for three months and pleased his boas until a Baptist preacher came along. The bar tender and the preacher becam< 1 fast friends, until one day he won all the preacher's money and he sought to get even by preach ing a sermon to his congregation of one, and by picturing the loneliness of the congrega tion’s old mother in Georgia, who had none but the fondest wishes for her erring son in far away Texas. This sermon deeply im pressed the railroad bartender, and he kept sober for live duys on a stretch. At the end of this time the owner of the bar called him up and told him he had no further use for him, “By the way,” said the bartender, “if you don’t mind telling it, I’d like to know what you turned me off for.” The proprietor replied: “You’ve been drunk for the past five days, and I don’t want any drunken men around me.” He had mistaken the conduct of his liar tender when sober. And a column of such exjieriences could lie written about this genius. He is now running a six months’ job on a railroad running out of Macon, and the next time we may hear from him he might be in Patagonia, CURED BY CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. A Remarkable Case of Mind Cure by Which a Dying Child was Saved. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Mrs. Derrington, a lady who resides in a leading Southern city, came to Chicago about ten days ago seeking medical advice and treatment for her little boy of 3 years, who accompanied her, and whoso restora tion to health had been despaired of by her family physician. The child was suffering with an aggravated affection of the throat, complicated with what was believed to be dangerous symptoms of consumption. Upon her arrival here Mrs. Derrington consulted two well-known physicians and sought their aid and advice. One of the physicians, upon a little reflection, declined to take charge of the case without being lletter informed as to the previous course of treatment pursued. He regarded the ease as a peculiar one in many respects, and ex pressed his fear of not being able to afford any relief under the circumstances. The other physician thought he could do some thing for tile boy, and began prescribing for him. At the same time the doctor who felt by no means confident that he fully un derstood or coulil successfully treat the'easo, informed the mother that her child was in great danger. The lioy grew rapidly worse, and on Tues day night last the doctor attending him gave up his ease as a hopeless task. He did all that could be done by any physician, so the relatives of Mrs. Derrington, with whom she is stopping on West Monroe street, all agree in stating, but was forced to acknowl edge hi.s inability to proceed further. The immediate cause of danger at the time in question was tlie inability of the treatment applied to clear the throat of the little fel low, wlto seemed about to strain;le. He toss ed about in a high fever, and an his gasp ing and pitiful exertions to breathe grew more intense, the distracted mother gave way entirely to her grief, and the scene around the bedside was one of suffering and woo. At this moment a member of the family, who is a believer in the Christian or spiritual science, and who had obtained liermission a short time before to summon a practitioner of that science, appeared bringing with him Mrs. Margaret Butts, into whose charge tho almost dying boy was given by the agonized mother, who im plored the lodv to save her boy, and as tho drowning person catches ni a straw, so she cast her faith for the moment in tho mind cure that seemed the hint and nearly hop 3- less chance. Mrs. Butts had the room clear ed, arid composed for the great task before her. There was no laying on tho hands, no blind faith cure, in the popular acceptation of' the term, retorted to. It was a m"!itnl effort, purely and simply; the application of tlie mental science*—the sub tie spirituality of which is not capable of definition and cannot therefore las described —through the channels of the mind, tho brain, tlie life of the child Ivin;; before ho;', apparently < n the verge of death. Before Mrs. Butts had been in the room ten min utes tlie boy threw up atc.vupful of heavy mucus, and the fever left him us swiftly and silently as tho hidden yet certain pro cesses of the mental treatment to widen ho had In* n unconsciously, as it would have seci no.
