Lolnc to a Masquerade.
1 >i<l you ever go to n masquerade ball ? Von
bavn’t ? Well, 1 have; and in order to post your
unenlightened readers, 1 propose to enter into the
lull particulars of the affair.
In the fir-t place, to las masked you’ll have to
he waxed—out of a eonsiderahle amount of
J' soap," i. e. “ mopusses," for the necessary «lry
goods. For instance, a dilapidated Claude Mel-
notte, red velvet, with the usual .trimmings, will
cost you twenty dollars. Luerctia Borgia, run
ning to seed, twenty-live. Hamlet, in reduced
circumstances (judging from the wardrobe), lit'
teen; and so on and so forth to the end of the
chapter. j
The other day, my Itetter half (I should e.al
her my woraer seven-eights—she’s hoss) aesuwted
me tliusly: “ Louis, my love,” s:»i<l she to me, “I
want you to get ready to go to the lTelzelellers’
masked hall; it's going to lie a voluminous [vide
Webster for voluminous] institution.” To which
1 replied by giving Bop lion isba (that's her name)
fifty dollars to pay expenses.
But the worst of it all was, that when the time
for going came, Soph, wasn’t quite well enough
to go, being detained at home by coming events
which cast their shadows before. If it's a hoy,
we’ll call him Haim Ulv&se, because the Army
of the Potomac fought it out on that line all
summer.
However, Soph, insisted on my going by my
self, ami I went. When I got there, I thought
that all the hash eaters in the world had been let
loose, each with a hack, and had got a load to
take to the ball. Knelt a lot of voters for Gun
ther I linvn't seen together since* election.
After considerable trouble 1 made my way to
the door of the dancing hall, where a man in a
red dress, rather shakey ut his knees, with hose
on liis extremities that once might have been
white, but which at the time spoken of resem
bled more “a coal heaver’s stockings of a Satur
day night,’’ stopped me and asked my name. 1
told him it was none of his business.
“ You must answer me,” said he. “ You can’t
get in here without a domino."
I went down to the bar-room, picked tip a
double six, took it up stairs and lmnded it to
him. Whereupon he smiled, said 1 wasn’t post
ed, and told me to “pass in’” He pronounced
•‘pass" with a “ B,” from whence I inferred it to
he a Hlattdeuteh hall, but I afterwards ascertained
it to be ftn aristocratic Teutonic affair. At least,
it was too tonic an affair for me, as you shall see
by what befell me at the party.
I had no sooner entered the ball-room when a
charming unknown (sex female), in a pretty
mask, came up to me and said: “ Who, by such
loveliness, would not be beguiled to love thee
with tiffed ion's fondest force?” and with that
she rams a cigar into tny eye, aud slaps a big
hunk of “yuller ’lasses’’ candy into my kid-
gloved hand (75c. a pair, bo’t ’em damaged).—
Not content with that, she comes after me, yell
ing in a voice tliut sounded like our house gate
when the hinges wuut greasing—“Let me love
thee, Kolando! Oli! sweet one, who by such
loveliness,” etc. Well, thought I, this gal must
have broke loose from some lunatic asylum.
Just then came a figure that defies description.
It looked for all the world like the “ What is it”
in stage clothes. Legs encased in black tights—
good shape—same size at. the calf and ancle—
hand? like a mule’s hoof, with a good coating of
free soil. lie wore a pair of black kid gaiters,
bunions shining through, just like a chiropodist's
sign, feet looking like monitors with miniature
turrets. Gaiters, size ten—fourteen would have
fitted belter.
The “Wliat is it” told me his character. It was
“A Venetian Gentleman”—Venetian pronounced
with a “W." and gentleman with a “Ch.” From
the manner in which he used English, I took him
to be an Italian from—Germany.
“Vcnesho” asked me if 1 knew him. Told
him I did not, not having visited any menagerie
lately. Something struck me. It might have
been un orange peel. Don’t think it was. More
like a soft boulder. Surmise it may have been a
fist. It felt like it. At all events 1 fell to the
floor. Dropped gently, afraid 1 might dent it,
and so incommode the dancers. Nigger waiter
came along with tray filled with lemonades.—
Tripped and fell on me. Girl with ’lasses candy
just in time to trip on top of us by catching the
tip of her pretty little gaiter boot, (size 3,) in my
mouth. In less than half a minute sixteen peo
ple, a little boy, and an old umbrella, all in a pile.
Extricate myself. Found a piece of hoop skirt
down the back of ipv neck, a waterfall in each
hand, nafi a set of false curls in my mouth.—
Changed my base to another part of the hall.—
Committee there distributiiu*prizes tobest masks.
Gentleman friend of mine got a prize worth $300.
Tried to borrow $30 of him. Told me 1 might
have it it I’d take it out in flavoring extracts.—
(He’s in the chemical line.) L:uly got a prize—a
i luster diamond pin. 1 protested. Said 'lasses
candy, in the black gaiters, ought to have it.—
One of the committee asked me if I didn’t want
a cluster, loo. Told him, certainly, if I could get
one. lie gave me a cluster—right under*the left
optic. >Iv eye looks as if five leeches had been
sucking tilvitv there for dear life. Committeeman
let fly again, I launched forth terrifically from the
shoulder. Something dropped. It wasn't the
Committee My mouth flowed like a petroleum
well.
A gentleman in blue, with a number on his cap
aud a mace in his hand, raised me from the floor
by the coat collar. Collar gave way—gent in
blue lost his balance—was percipitatcd on a man
playing wood cutter eating his dinner on the
floor. Wood cutter’s fork went into gentleman
in blue—wood cutter’s saw took gent in blue un
der the bugle—uose, I mean.
Four hack drivers, the brothersMcGuffey, came
to the rescue. They said I was Qiucral Mikel
Leila n in disguise, and swore I should have my
rights. General fight. Re inforcements arrive
for the enemy—six gentlemen in blue, each with
a number on iris cap, and a mace in his hand.—
The Domino man Hanked me, and attacked me
in the rear with a stuffed club and a mineral wa
ter bottle. Two of the body-grabbers seized me
—this time by the nape of the neck. They raised
vie gently, and bore me down stairs. Girl with

1 was wholly ignorant, being unable to read a
word of English. He dried it carefully and
j took it home. His wife and children wereequal-
— i hr uuable as himself to divine the contents. He
then tiecamc possessed ofthe idea that the package
contained documents of great value, perhaps
deeds of houses and lands, which would make
hint at once a millionaire. Being somewhat su-
l»er.'titiou.s. he believed that he was providentially
led to the diseoverv of this mysterious treasure,
and that he must keep it a secret until Provi
dence should disclose to him how he was to come
into full possession of ids riches. For a Pong
time he kept the package concealed in his house,
hut finally becoming tired of waiting for myste
rious disclosures, lie took it to an attorney at
Monroe, having first enjoined secresy. The at
torney discovered at once that the supposed
package of deeds and mortgages was nothing
but a package of letters tltat had been thrown
into the hike by some person who probably
widied to destroy them. A further examination
disclosed to him that it was a regular post office
package sent from New York to Detroit, and
containing only registered letters, all of which
had been opened and deprived of their contents,
except one itio check which the thief evidently
dared not take, lest it might lead to liis detection.
Satisfying the covetous finder that the contents
of the package were not what lie supposed; hem,
but old letters of no value to him, the lawyer
brought it at once to the Detroit j>ost office.
This was the first and not least mysterious link
in the chain of evidences which finally bound the
guilt)’ man tight. Then commenced the groping
for other links. It was taken for granted that
the package was thrown overboard from some
passing steamer. As the regular lake steamers
do not pass in that vicinity, it must have been an
excursion steamer. It was found on the 5th or
fitli of.Tuly; evidently, then, the person who
threw it into l:ik>* must have been a passenger on
a Fourth of July excursion. This settled, the
next point was to find out which of the post-
office clerks participated in the excursion down
the lake. By reference to the list of passengers,
it was discovered that only two of them were on
board. Here was the whole thing narrowed
down almost t<> a point. But which of the
two men was the criminal ? The most dif
ficult part of the whole case was reached.—
Which should he arrested and on what evidence
could he lie convicted? The two men were
narrowly watched, until finally suspicion was
aroused agaiust Sullivan. He was arrested, with
what result is already known. The contents of
the rifled letters were found in liis possession to
the amount of nearly $3,500. Other valuables
were also found. One gold watch, which was
mailed at New York, to a gentleman in Milwau-
kie, and could he traced to the Detroit Post Office,
but no further, was found in the same trunk.—
A quantity of gold pens which had been de
posited here, found their destination in the same
trunk. He had carried on a systematic course of
thieving for a long time, and with singular econ
omy had carefully preserved his treasures to an
swer as witness against him. So conclusive was
the evidence that he made a clean breast of the
whole thing, pleaded guilty on his examination,
and was remanded for sentence. Under the law
the lightest sentence which can be passed upon
him is ten years in the State Prison.

Circumstantial Evidence!—A Singular
Train of Events and their Result.
Circumstantial evidence has convicted more
than half the criminals who are now justly suf
fering the penalties of the law. ,
A more remarkable case of tracing out the | thy elephant and be d—d—plfease ;
criminal by circumstances than that which led being added as Shavey took a seco
to the arrest of young Sullivan, the post office
robber, whose capture was announced in the
Free Press of yesterday morning, we have never
met with. It seems almost providential, but yet
there was nothing out ot the usual course* of
events; onlvtiie several links in the chain were
exposed to view, connected palpably with each
other, and leading straight from the crime to the
criminal.
Very Uncommon.
At the gateway of one of our beautiful rural
cemeteries, a large funeral was just entering, ns
our attention was called to a very remarkable
sight. The bier was resting on the shoulders of
four tall, noble looking men in the prime of life.
One of those bearers was a Judge on the bench
of the Supreme Court of the Nation. A second
was one of the most eminent and accomplished
lawyers this or any other country can boast. A
third was a very distinguished divine, whose pen
is a great power. And the fourth w r as the Presi
dent of the Senate of liis State. And these re
markable men were brothers. They stood strong
in file, but were bowed and silent and solemn, as
if the bier was too heavy for tlieir strength.
Very slowly and carefully they trod, as if the
sleeper should not feel the motion. And who
was on the bier, so carefully and tenderly borne ?
It was their own mother. Never did 1 see a
grief more reverent, or respect more profound.
It seemed to me that the mother’s cold heart
must also throb in the coffin. A nobler sight, or
a more beautiful tribute of love, I never saw.
They were all, doubtless, going back in memory’
to their early childhood, and to their loving care
of this best of all earthly friends. They’ well
knew they’, the sons of a poor village pastor,
could never have been trained and educated aiul
fitted to occupy’ their stations without a very ex
traordinary mother. They- well knew that"they
owed more to her than all other human agencies.
No shoulders but theirs must bear the precious
dust to the grave yard ; no hands but theirs must
deposit it in its last resting place. That body
had been inhabited by one of the sweetest, most
cheerful and brilliant minds taut ever inhabited
an earthly tabernacle. It had long, too, been the
temple of the Holy Ghost. What that lovely’
woman had done to make her husband’s ministry
useful and profitable; what she had done in trai
ning daughters that^re ornaments to tlieir sex;
wliat she bad done to make these distinguished
men wliat they are—who can tell ? «
Heaven Avill be just where we are not ; and I
can find no words in which to express my appre
ciation of such a friend. Some few who have
early’ lost their mother through death, or the loss
of reason, come out.useful and respectable men;
but they would, proably’, have been much more
so, had* they enjoyed her love and care. They
may well mourn the loss all their day’s. The
names of the mothers ot Moses, of Samuel, of
Timothy’, and other eminent men are recorded;
and so are the names of the mothers of the
wicked kings generally’ recorded, as ifto tie them
to the disgrace of their sons.
O, mother! amid all your anxieties and labors,
be assured that the time Is coming when your
name aud image will fill the chambers of the
memories of your children as no other can. You
are garnering up love, respect., and veneration
which will gather around your coffin, if not
before. Y*ou will grow in the hearts of your
children as long as they live.
O, son of the good mother! remember that she
hath spared nothing that human heart could yield
for thy good! Let thy’ love and gratitude and
reverence flow back upon her, and as her hair is
becoming silvered with age, remember thy r oppor
tunities to minister to her comfort are every day’
becoming fewer and fewer. God help thee to
cheer her !—The Home Monthly.
The Bull that Saw the Elephant; or, a
Tdssle for tiie Road.—In Columbiana county,
Ohio, resides an old fellow renowned for his bel
ligerent disposition, who is known as Friend
Shavey. Bom and bred a Quaker, he was long
since read out of meeting on account of his quar
relsome propensities, but lie still pertinaciously’
clings to tbe plain clothes and plain language of
his earlier days, possibly as a protection against
the wrath which he was continually provoking
by his overbearing and irritating demeanor. He
is always the owner ot’ the crossest dog in the
neighborhood, the most troublesome, lire achy-
steers, Ac., and is continually in hot water with
some of his neighbors in consequence of the dep
redations committed by his unruly- live stock. A
short time since Van Amburg’s Menagerie, trav
eling through Columbiana, was obliged to pass
his residence. A little before daylighr, Nash, the
keeper of the elephant Tippoo Saib, as he was
passing over the road with his elephant, discov
ered this pseudo Quaker seated upon a fence by
the roadside, watching a bull which he had turned
upon the road, and which*was pawing, bellowing,
and throwing up a tremendous dm* generally.—
In fact, from the fury ef the animal’s demonstra
tions, one would readily have taken him for one
of the identical breed that butted a locomotive
off a bridge.
"Take that bull out of the way !” shouted Nash,
as he approached.
“Proceed with thy elephant," was the reply.
“It you don’t take that bull away, he will get
hurt,” continued Nash, approaching, while the
bull redoubled his l>clli»erent demonstration*.
“Don’t trouble thyself a&out the bull, but pro
ceed with thy elephant,” retorted Friend Shavey,
rubbing his hands with delight at the prospect of
an approaching scrimmage, the old fellow having
great confidence in the invincibility of his bull,
which was really the terror of the whole country
around.
Tippoo Saib came on with his uncouth, sham
bling gait; the bull lowered his head and made
a charge directly upon the elephant Old Tippoo,
without even pausing in htftnarch, gave his cow
catcher a sweep, catching the bull on the side,
crushing in his ribs with his enormous tusks, aud
then raised him about thirty feet in the air, the
bull striking upon his head as he came down,
breaking his neck and killing him instantly.
“Urn afraid your bull has bent his neck a little,"
shouted Nash.*as he passed on.
"Bent the devil,” cried old Shavey, with a
troubled look at his defunct bull; “thy elephant
is too heavy for mV beast, but thee will not make
so much out of Jlic operation as thee supposes.—
I was going to take my family to thy show, but

one more breath of soot ere we glided on our
way. As the boat began to move I became ab
sorbed in watching the receding city; but, just
as tnc last steeple had laded from my view, I
was roused to a consciousness of surrounding
objects by my wife addressing some trivial re
mark to me. I waa not in the mood for conver
sation, so she soon relapsed into silence, and
presently we returned to the cabin, where I was
soon engaged in my favorite occupation of study
ing the different phases of character of my fel
low passengers. There was the sentimental
young lady reading Byron’s Poems, and in the
pauses looking unutterable tilings at the hand
some young gentleman opposite. But presently
the stateroom door, over which he is mounting
guard, opens, and a tall, haughty-looking young
lady emerges from it.
“Augustas, dear, are you very certain the trunks
are all safe ?”
"Perfectly, love.”
“ I should never survive if they were to be
lost!” and taking his arm they stroll out upon
the guards.
“On their bridal tour,” I whispered to my wife,
loud enough to be heard by the young lady of
Byronic tendencies, who straightway falls to
reading the Corsair. Then there was'a woman,
a poor, forlorn looking creature, with a sick child
as poor and forlorn as herself, who afforded oc
cupation to a motherly old lady from the coun
try, who, stowing her knitting in one capacious
pocket, produced from the other a bundle of
“yarbs.”
“I’m goin’ to live with my darter in Cincin-
naty,” she explained. “I thought I’d take agood
stock of yarbs along, for as lijte as not they don’t
keep ’cut in them ere finefied city pothecaries.
Now some pennyryal tea is just what your baby
needs. It’s prime stuff I’ve cured lots of sick
babies with it, and then if it don’t do no good it
can’t do no harm. If you say so, I’ll just go
and borrow a pan somewhere and put some to
steep.”
The poor, w’earietl mother, unable to combat
such a torrent of words, nodded assent, and the
old lady, with cap ribbons fluttering, bustled
away on her charitable errand. Then there is
the strong minded woman in green merino and
black velvet basque, pacing back and forth with
measured and masculine tread, revolving in her
mind, perhaps, the destiny of nations, certainly
something of more consequence to humanity or
her sex than the latest fashions or the French
style of wearing one’s back hair—subjects over
which my wife and another lady passenger have
grown eloquent; and as to flirtation, (the senti
mental young lady is reading Maid of Athens to
the handsome clerk who came to collect the fare),
those strong gray eyes and their firm set lids
would be more at home delivering a charge to a
jury of their countrymen than whispering the
soft endearments of love. Then there are any
quantity of. children tumbling about in every
body’s way—there are the children’s parenta, and
a man and woman who, something tells me, are
newly married, though they look little enough
like a bridal pair. The husband, a hard-fisted,
half-witted laborer, wore a coat, the huge brass
buttons of w’hicb proclaimed it an heirloom in
herited from his grandfather. Stout jeans pant
aloons and immense cowhide brogans completed
liis outfit; w-hile the bride—well, imagine a fe
male in age ranging somewhere between twenty
and forty, hair cropped short, and bent upon as
serting its independence by standing proudly
erect; brown merino dress trimmed with blue
worsted fringe, and made in a style which uoue
but a dress maker could properly appreciate;
skirt innocent of crinoline, and extending within
about three inches of the ankle to display a pair
of boots, not the late Parisian sensation boot, but
a pair of real high-topped boots, originally in
tended to be worn by a man, and which, I
shrewdly suspected, had been borrowed from her
husband, just as I have seen another living cou
ple wear each other’s gloves and scarfs. At last,
becoming the least in the world disgusted with
the billing and cooing of this modern Romeo
and Juliet, I strolled down to the gentlemen’s
cabin; and, lighting a cigar, commenced a sur
vey of the group collected around the stove.—
There were two Federal officers, a Quaker, a
pair of gamblers, only to be known by their
punctiliously gentlemanly appearance, a Metho
dist preacher, and a crowd of others whom I
found more difficulty in classifying. The passen
gers were all social and agreeable, and what with
discussing the war and topics of minor import
ance, the time passed pleasantly enough, without
any incident worthy of note, until the third day
out. We had landed at a small town a lew miles
below Cincinnati, when another passenger came
aboard. A stout, elderly countryman, dressed in
a suit of serviceable jeans, and carrying a cane
as short as himself, and knotty and knobby as
his hands. When the boat shoved off he entered
the cabin, and joining in the general conversa
tion, soon became rather loquacious.
“Had got tired of farmin’ in Ohio, could’nt get
help at no price, and had bought a farm down in
Kaintuck, and was a goin’ down now to pay for
it and git the deeds made out’ Paid high for it
too,” and he produced a dirty leather wallet, and
opening it, displayed it well filled with green
backs. “All this has to go to pay for that ’ere
farm. I reckon when I come back thi9 pocket-
book ’ll look like an elephant had tramped on it.
H; ! ha 1 ha!”
This attempt at humor was received with a
general burst of laughter, in which none joined
louder than the two gamblers who had exchanged
glances at the sight of the money, and now seem
ed bent upon making themselves especially agree
able to its possessor. Soon one of them proposed
to treat.
“You drink, of course ?” he interrogated.
“Wall,yes; my old woman did want me to
take the pledge once when a Temperance lec
turer was goin round the kentry, but—”
“You didn’t, eh ?”
“Not I, feller-citizens, I told the old woman
that whenever she’d quit talkin’ scandal I’d jine
the teetotalers.”
A loud burst of laughter drowned the chink
ing of glassess as the passengers took “a drink all
round.” For some time mirth, jollity and con
viviality prevailed; then some one proposed a
game of cards. Several of the passengers were
soon deeply engrossed in games, but the gamblers
aud the countryman still remained seated.
At last, “Do you play ?” asked one of the gam
blers.
“Wall, yes; a little, some times,” replied the
old farmer. “I never play for money, that is, not
to any large amount; but a quiet game with
small stakes, just enough to make it interesting,
is my favorite pastime. Them’s my sentiments
exactly, stranger, but money’s too hard to get to
risk much of it on the pesky things.”
“What do you say to tiying our Lands at a
quiet game of euchre ?”
“Suits me precisely.”
The tables were soon arranged, and two or
three of the passengers—among them the other
gambler— gathered around to note the progress
of the game. The stakes at first were very small,
and the countryman held all the winning cards,
until seeming to gain confidence he proposed
playing for a larger amount. His opponent ac
quiesced “for this occasion only,” and aoon the
game became absorbing, first one and then the
other being winner. At length luck seemed to
turn against the Ibk-i£ La.played, a. king, his
opponent held the ace; if he piayed left bower,
his npponet held the jack of trumps. It was
not long before he had lost almost a thousand
dollars.
'‘Boys, I can’t stand this,” he exclaimed, wiping
his forehead with a huge red silk handkerchief
“I haven’t enough money now to pay for my
place, and—”
“Recollect that fortune is fickle,” observed the
affable gentleman, the particular friend of his op
ponent; “she will soon smile upon yon again; I
advise you not to give up the game without win
ning back what you have lost.”
“Wall, stranger, 1 believe I’ll try it again, for I
don’t like to give up the idea of settlin’ in Kain
tuck, and don’t take offense, stranger, but I’d
ruther you wouldn't stand behind me. It kind
o’ makes me narvous like.”
“Certainly,” said the polite stranger, and he
moved away, satisfied that the game was in his
partner’s hands. But as he had predicted, luck
did cliauge, and half hour later, just as the boat
landed to “wood up,” the countryman rose from
the table winner to the tune of nine thousand
dollars. Strolling leisurely out upon the guards,
while the defeated gambler at the bar quenched
his chagrin in copious draughts of brandy, and
approaching a group composed of the army of
ficers, the Quaker, the captain and one or two
others, he carelessly drew a trumpet from his
bosom, and said— *
“I used to be hard ’o heatin’ once, and had to
uso^ftis ere thing, and when I got well I diskiv-
ered a new use for it”
“What’s that ?” asked one.
“You shall all know in good time;” and raising
it to his lips he blew a shrill, prolonged whistle.
Instantly, from behind the immense pHe of
cord wood* there sprang to the deck a crowd of
armed men “The guerrillas,” was echoed in
consternation from one end of the boat to the
other; but ere a weapon could be drawn, the or
der “seize the officers 1” had been given and exe
cuted ; “form the passengers and crew in line.”
Some attempted to defend themselves, but over
powered by numbers and unarmed, all were
forced to submit.
“Now my men, overhaul the money chests.—
You, my mends,” with a friendly nod to the two
gamblers, “shall go free—we levy no black mail
upon your profession, or your ladies,” with a po-
'Go back again, and say you couldn’t,” was | GEORGIA, Paulding County.
the spirited answen As the guerrilla stood hesi
taring what to do,-a shrill cry was heard from
the guards, “CathcHne, Catherine, save me t'—
Qne of the party had entered the room through
the back door, and secured the occupant, who
was safely stowed away in the npper berth. With
a cry like a woundfd tigress she sprang forward,
and seizing the guewilla by the hair, dealt him
blow after blow with that huge fist, blows that
resounded like those of a sledge hammer. How
the contest would ^herwise have ended I do not
know, but several of the guerrilla’s comities
coming to his assbjpnce, the lady was overpow
ered, and sullenly and with rathe'r ill grace ac
knowledged her defeat, while poor George, de
prived of his deferider, submitted quietly, aud
was placed in line with the rest of the passengers.
AIL was now over,apd none had been overlooked
in the general robbwy.
“Perhaps you wiit to know who takes such
liberties with your?persons and portmonnais,”
and tearing oft a w% and set of false whiskers,
“behold John Morgan,” with a bow that would
not have digraced Qiesterfield, and a polite wave
of rite hand. The guerrilla chief anil his follow
ers were gone as sufdenly as they came, while

Explosion at the Washington Arsenal.—
On M. nday aftemeon the entire city of Wash
ington felt the sltQ£k of an explosion of about
forty pounds of powder, in a small frame build
ing at the arsenal, by which ten men, all dis
charged soldiers, were blown to pieces, and four
more, who were outside, were mortally injured.
It is believed, atter investigation, to have been
caused by some lo^se powder having got upon
the ground, and the nails in one of the men’s
shoes having strucWaome gravel, struck fire, and
that in a moment ignited the contents of the cais
son, Which had been taken out, and all were in
stantly killed, their mangled forms being thrown
in every <lirectum,-Ithc body-*»f one man bcin,
carried four hundrfff^rards.
Scarcely a vesngtjwas left ot the building, and
splinters and huma®flesh were thrown around
as though there liai]J>een a hail storm.
A one-legged soldier, who was driving a mule
cart close by the building, was injured so badly
that he will probably die, while the cart and
mule were overturned!, and the mule badly man
gled. Close by the frame building that exploded
were two large magtizmes, used for storing pow
der, but being covertd with slate they were not
9et on fire. A pile qf empty ammunition boxes
and some shell, in the adjoining building, were
ignited, but a stream of water was soon turned
upon them, and the intrepid firemen and soldiers,
nnmindful of danger worked faithfully over the
ruins until not a spark was left.
The bodies of the bdfortunate men were gath
ered together, and t(gpse parts that could be iden
tified by any parts of their clothing were all
marked and removed for burial. They were all
Irishmen, and but a part of them had families.
Exactly what caused the explosion will never
be known, as none ate left to tell the tale. Ser
geant Flint had corn’s out of the room but a few
moments before the explosion, and left ten men
there, emptying powder from w oolen cartridges
into kegs, to be packed away in the Arsenal.
Those killed were Jeremiah Mahoney, Patrick
Reardon, Marshall, Whitely, James Moran, Mi
chael Dermott, John Meehan, Martin Kyle, John
Freely, Peter McG©they, J. Lawer, John Crane
and Charles Linn ~

Bad State of Affairs in Memphis.—On
Monday evening, about eight or nine o’clock, a
party of twelve or fifteen colored soldiers, who
were out on the ratfjpage, went to the grocery
store of Mr. J. W. Hanks, situated on the corner
ot Calhoun (South) street and Rayburn avenue.
The soldiers went igto the store and began an
altercation w r ith thejproprietor. The difficulty
became serious, and Mr. Hanks retired from the
portion of the house wiiere they had found him
at first# It 3eem3 fr om the most reliable sources
of information we have been able to consult, that
Hanks was retreating from the overwhelming
force pressing upon lfijn. When he had reached
the doorway leading to a small back room, it
appears that he made a stand and fired upon the
soldiers as they advanced upon him. His aim,
however, was defective, and the ball did not take
effect; the negroes then fired seven or eight shots,
one of which took effect in Mr. Hanks’head, just
behind the ear, passing*entirely through from the
right and coming out oa the left side of his head,
when he fell «nd soopifter expired.
Coroner Erickson held an inquest over his re
mains yesterday morning; some 9ix or seven
witnesses were examined, all of whom were
colored except one, Mr. Pendegrast. The testi
mony of these persons was about the same as the
facts stated above. The verdict of the jury was
in words to the following effect: “that the de
ceased came to his death from a pistol shot, fired
by negro soldiers, personally unknown to the
jury, and that it was done with malicious, aiul
felonious intent. There seemed to be no design
entertained by the assailants of Mr. Hanks to rob,
as neither money nor goods were taken. It must
have been a premeditated design of those men to
murder Hanks, and they went there for no other
purpose.
Another Murder.-—Late last night we lear
ned that ex-Alderman Ryan was murdered on
South street Monday , night, by negroes. Ten
shots were lodged in his body.—Memphis Argus.

Nashville, Tenn., April 11,1886.
I have been nearly through the whole lumber country

the erection of the different class of machineiy, such as
Circular Saw Mills, with Sash Saws, Muley Saw, <Sfcc.,
used in the manufacturing of lumber. I afterward entered

A Co., Western Iron Foundry, Cincinnati, Ohio. I have
operated this Mill for some time, and can. with confi

made thereon by Captain Clemens,) as one of the best
