gallant services, it seems hard that he should be
laid aside as useless lumber and his pay re-
duced in extreme age. By reference to the Re.

9th Of March, 1898, has served on sea twenty.
two years and eleven months, on shore thirteen
years and two months, and has been unemployed
nineteen years and nine months, and was at

AWFUL TRAaEDY.--We published a day or
two since paragraph from st. Louis paper
stating that three men had been hanged in Clay
county, Mo-, under process Of Lynch law In
the Parkville Luminary Of the 9th, we find the
particulars Of this horrible affair: ..s
Just as we were getting ready for press, the
particulars. of amest shocking ARRAY andhang-
ing have been narrated tarus. The occurrence
was at Smfthvilie, Clay county, on Monday af-
ternoon One man, JphnHW. Douglas, was
killed; William Ross and Squire John Ross,
father and son, were dangerously stabbed-not
expected to recover; also Ira Tritt, badly
stabbed. The perpetrators, Sam. Shaekleford,
VIM. Shackleford and John w. Galloway, have
been hanged by the enraged citizens
The Shacklefords are said to have been con-
nected with a gang of horse- thieves that were
committing depreciation in the neighborhood !;
great indignation existed, so far as to pass res
lutions ordering them to leave the place, which
they refused to do. Prior to this, Douglass had
been instrumental in tracing the mule to Sam
Shackleford, who consequently owed Douglass q
grudge; and on Monday last the two met and
had an alteration at Smithvlle, which ended
50 fatally.
We understand that Douglass shot at shackle-
ford, slightly wounding him, and that his
interfered, but were overpowered by the Shackle
fords and Galloway, and cut down-they will
not probably survive. Sam Shackeford stabbed
the man Tritt. Galloway and the Shacklefords
subsequently took refuge in the neighboring
houses. An immense crowd Of citizens speedily
collected at the place, surrounding the houses,
and about dusk VIM. Shackleford was brought
out and forthwith hanged, Shortly afterwards
Galloway was hanged beside him, having pre-
viously confessed his completely with the others
in horse stealing Samuel Shackleford, who
had been wounded by pistol shot, was said to
be dangerously hurt; but this not being true,
about II o'clock at night he, too, was dragged
out and hanged. On this Tuesday, morning,
the bodies we're cut down.
The most intense excitement prevails through
out the vicinity. In the meantime, We abstain
from comments, having simply stated the facts
as they were given u.s.
Another account states that the bodies were
left hanging in view of the people during the
day, while an election was going on in the i'm
mediate vicinity.

The New York Express thus speaks of the
favors and blessings we enjoy over other nations:
CA nation highly favored of Heaven surely
is ours Wars and their horrors, conyulsing
the Old World, are things happily unknown to
us, To famine we are utter strangers. Pesti-
lence, indeed, has been among US, but it has not
laid its heavy hand upon US, as has been the
case in some portions Of France, the West Indies
and elsewhere. Our columns, from time to
time, of late have borne sad testimony of its ap-
palling ravages at Marseilles and in the Island
of Barbados. Compared with the experiences
OF men, there, ours have been as naught.
Hence, we repeat, there is no people under the
sun that has had may, is now having-so many
manifestations of Divine favor, as those whose
happiness it is to inhabit the United States of
America. We are not sure that our deservings
are better than mankind elsewhere, but we are
quite sure that we are infinitely better rewarded.
Let this conviction come home to the heart of

A RICH SoENE-We find the following in a
New York paper:
Complaints having recently been made that
the designation house, 81 Mercer street, kept
Ply one Mary Clark, was of very disorderiy
character, on Tuesday night posse of police.
men made a descent on the place, and arrested
the proprietor and fifteen of the inmates, among
whom were merchants, merchants clerks,
brokers, book-keepers, mechanics, etc., etc. !,
who we're taken to the station. house to await
an examination.
The scene at the watch house can be better
imagined than described some were crying for
fear of exposure, and imploring Captain Turn
hill to let them CO. promising never to be caught
in the same trap again, Others were hiding
their faces to prevent recognition, while another
and more resolute class stood up like heroes and
looked the unexpected denouement in the face,
waiting Micawber- like, for some thing to turn
up and procure their liberation before Say-
light. Among the females arrested were seam
stresses, millners, ladies' and one would be a
respectable married woman living in Brooklyn,
who had taken advantage of her husbands alb
sence from home to play truant in New York
The whole party were taken before Justice
Stuart, and with the exception of the woman
Clark, keeper Of the house, severely reprimanded
and discharged.

BARBARous TREATMENT OF A SALoR--Nich-
olas Cook. q seaman of the ship Yorkshire at
New York, was few days ago admitted to the
New York Hospital, suffering from injuries
which he alleged had been inflicted upon him by
the captain and first and second mates of said
vessel during her last trip from Liverpool. His
person presented a shocking appearance, his
eyes being blackened, his face and head terribly
bruised, and his body suffering from COMMISSIONS
The man stated that these injuries had been in
ficted by the captain and his mates by blows
with sticks, tarred ropes, their fists, etc. The
man afterwards died, and the Coroner's Jury
charged his death upon the officers of the vessel
The captain was arrested on the 10th, but the
others escaped, Warrants were issued and off
GERS sent in pursuit.

An old African negro man who is well known
by the name of Hannibal, aged los years, be-
longing to Hugh Ferguson, Esq, was found on
Friday morning last, lying dead in the woods
between the plantations of Mr.. Ferguson and
Major David Hamilton. On Tuesday night the
old man left his masters plantation for the pur-
pose of going to the plantation of David Hamil-
ton, and no more was heard from him until
found dead. It is supposed that this outrageous
murder was perpetrated with view of getting
the old mans money, of which it was thought
he had q considerable amount No clue as
yet, We believe, has been given, indicating the
perpetrator. [selma Sentinel.

Thomas Flagherty died yesterday from the
effects of wounds received during the riots on
Monday and Tuesday last We also heard of
trunk maker, by the name of Cheek, having
been severely wounded in the thigh, but he is
recovering. We are inclined to think that it
may be safely estimated that fifty persons were
killed or wounded during the recent riots tits
generally supposed that number were killed
on the Leyee and thrown into the river, but we
cannot say positively whether this is the case or
not It is quite likely, however, that such is the
case. [St. Louis News, 18th.

UNEXPECTED ELEVATION. vicissitudes of
human life are very strange. In 1880, Presi-
dent Taylor, then Colonel in the army, wrote
q letter to Gen, McNiel who had just been ap-
pointed Surveyor of Boston, from which we
make the following extract:
am fully aware that it is impossible for us
to pursue any professionals particularly that of
arms-for fifteen or twenty years without form
ing strong attachments to it in various ways,
and of course, must abandon them with consid-
cradle reluctance, but there are circumstances
which should reconcile us to doing SO, and to
justify us, not only in our own eyes, but that
of the community. Could l get civil appoint
ment as respectable, with half the emolument
attached to it as there is to the one you have
received, and where / could be located so as to
superintend the education of my children,
would resign forthwith; for, after serving
twenty-five years and upwards in the army. all
of which time on duty, with the exception of a
few months, without being stationed two years
together at one post, during that time, begin
to think that need repose, but as | do not pos
sess influence enough to procure a civil ap-
pointment of any grade, consider my doom
fixed
Here is plain, modest officer of the United
States army, who, in 1880, expressed a sincere
wish that he could retire from his labors upon
some office with half the emolument that Gen
McNiel received, and declared that he did not
possess influence enough to procure a civil ap-
pointment; and yet this same man became a
world renowned General, and President of the
United States, in less than 20 years from that
time. Portland State of Maine
