Be, In the other barrel Wait, with your hand of
while tell you On old story.
There was Forester who loved Countess -
That he did secretly and without speaking, for he
thought much Of the difficulties in his way. How
ever, he was prudent and all ended well, and no
man was the wiser. But there was Count who
loved the wife Of . Forester; and that ended not
well. For when the forester discovered Il. hetook
that which belonged TO him. And the Count had q
son, and the Forester daughter. The old man
preached her many al lesson about rank, and frtvo.
pretended equallo love for her. So thus took that
which belonged TO me-"
Miserable ASSASSIN ~ cried the count "She was
mine, mine, minei You tell me of sin and passion,
but our hearts were before God, and our love was
uaspotted. We were betrothed; would have
married her"
The old man pointed to the body, and laughed
aloud
Herr You should have said that to her lady
mother atthe castle yonder."
"To my mother 9-the Countess"
The young count. with ashen face recoiled, and
hurryine out called to his servants, and spurred
his horse home to the castle. His mother, the
countess, heard all from him. When she knew
what the fierce huntsmsn had said, how dark
story he had told and what had been the end OF 1t,
her limbs became stiff az with death che spoke
only to pronounce her curse upon whatever loot
stepped in that huntsman's den OF crime. And
then she died.
Hans Quicker carried his daughter down and
buried her among the flowers of his garden. Then
shouldering his gun he went out of the house and
except when he spoke a word to Peter beyond the
mountains, never was seen more. The howlings OF
dog were heard for few days in the wood; they
became weaker and weaker, until all was STILL
And from that hour the stiffness was unbroken.

HOW HE BECAME A MILLIONAIRE.

Mr.. McDonough, the millionaire Of
New Orleans, has engraved upon bis tomb
a series Of maxims, which he had prescri-
bed as the rules for his guidance through
life, and to WHICH his success in business
is mainly attributable. They are sound
and contain much practical wisdom.
" Rules for The GuidaHes Of my Life,
l8O4-Remcmber always that labor is
one Of the conditions Of our existence.
Time is golGi throw not one minute away,
but place each one 10 account. Do ul,O
al men as you would be done by. Never
put of until tomorrow what you can do
to-day. Never bid another do what you
can do yourself. Never covet what is
not your own. Never think any matter
50 tTifing as not 10 deserve notice. New
er give out that which does not first come
in. Never spend but 10 produce. Let
the greatest order regulate the transae-
tons Of your life. Study in your course
Of life 10 do the greatest amount Of good.
" Deprive yourself Of nothing neces-
sary 10 your comfort, but live in an honor
able simplicity and frugality. Labor, then
to the last moment Of your existence
Pursue strictly the above rules, and the
Divine blessing and riches Of every kind
will flow upon you TO your hearts con-
tent but, FIRST Of all, remember the chief
and greatest study Of your life should be
10 tend, by all means in our power, 10 the
honor and glory Of our Divine Creator,
John McDonough, New Orleans; March
"a, 1904. The conclusion 10 which | have
arrived is, that, without Temperance, there
is no health; without virtue, no order
without religion, no happiness and thai
the aim Of our being is to live wisely, So
berry and ~righfeOusly."

CHARLES A. HENRY.

This individual charged with the crime
Of murder, was arrested and brought be-
fore Chief Justice Ferguson, for examin-
alton on the 4th inst. The charge being
sustained, he was committed for trial be-
fore the Supreme Court Of the Territory
in June.
The prisoner being called on by the
Judge TO say whether he had any thing 10
present in palliation Of the evidence
az ainst him, said that he was a native Of
the State of New York, where he spent
his earlier days, since which time he has
lived in Ohio, California and other places,
and has been living for nearly three
months past, at Bellevue, n. T. H. said
he was a druggist and physician, by pro-
~fession, and was rs years old-did not
intend 10 kill HOLSTER, said that he had
met him in a friendly manner on several
occasions, and hat there was no enmity
existing between them.
The prisoner was hand cuGcd, and
shackeled before being brought into court.
He appeared 10 take a deep interest in
the trial, but manifested no great intensity
Of feeling, and made no lamentation over
his crime. Henry is a man Of fair com
plection, Of handsome figure and carriage,
of about medium height and proportion
Of large p%erceptiye faculties, frmness and
self esteem, but deficient in the region Of
conscientiousness and c-autiousness.

finally shot down in sclf-defence by the
hand Of a %rufian, scting the part Of bully
for DR.. B~utterheld, who pretends that he
was seeking to prevent hos,ilities between
the contending parties.
9Th. The ASSISTANTS have nothing 10
plead in justification of the murder Of
which they are in view Of the moral law
guilty, only that they did Mt mean TO do
il. Notwithstanding it WAS actually, and
really done in consequence Of their own
voluntary deed.
7th. The quarrel was wholly uncalled
for on the part Of DR.. Buuerfeld. The
fact (if il was one) that the surveyors
were driving a few stakes in the ground
claimed by him, furnished no justification
for a resort 70 violence and murder.
OH. If the crime with which this Ter
ritory has been shocked, is suffered 10 90
unpublished, what is the use Of having
laws for the punishment Of crime?
If men are going 10 be permitted 10 as
sail those whom they take TO be intruders

who can tell how many are destined 10
flow with blood2
9h. This case being the drst OF the
kind lhat has disgraced any part Of this
Territor, LET it be the first one on which
the curse Of the law, and the condemna-
lion Of the people shall descend, and upon
which, it shall rest in such a way as to
prevent The repetition Of similar scenes
hereafter. Let the first victims on the
black docket Of crime in Nebraska pay
the forfeight of their crime, and the ric-
tory orer DULLES and biood-ihirsiy ruJ-
fans vii! have been achieved.
The people at home aud abroad, ore
looking Oh 10 see whether law is 10 pre-
vail over violence ana bloodshed, or
whether the latter is 10 prevail over law.
They are looking on to see whether the
Governor and other officers Of this Ter
ritory have the ability and courage to exe-
cute the laws, or whether they intend to
allow violence and wrong TO 20 %unpunish-

rHRKArHINa EXCITEMENT.

A portion Of the numerous friends Of
the lamented HOLSTER were excited 10
such a pitch against the life Of the assas-
sin. that had invaded their social circle
that mob-law would doubtless have been
brought into requisition, were it not for
the presence Of Chief Justice Ferguson,
and other law loving citizens.
We have reason 10 be grateful hat the
day had come when the mob spirit could
be frowned away, and the majesty Of the
law subtained-when there was sufficient
influence on the side Of law, 20 restrain
angry and excited men from any farther
Improprieties than such as pertain TO the
use Of the tongue, and are too frequently
called forth on occasion Of far less impor-
tence than this.
A resort to 'lyneh lao" is TO be de-
plored in all cases, and particularly SO
where the reign Of civil law has been es-
thblished. If you wish TO secure the safe
ty Of property and life, honor the law,
and see that its provisions for the protec-
ton of innocence, and the punishment Of
The guilty are carried into effect.

Correspondence of the Palladium.
Nrw Yopn, March l7,h, 1855.

Nrw YoRK, March l7th, 1855.
The news received by the Africa Of the
death Of the Emperor, Nicholas Of Rus-
sia. needs confirmation before il can be
implicitly relied on. The Russisn Min
lister At Washington having received no
intimaion Of the event, pronounces It a
hoax. Il is, however, probable that he
has no better means Of judging than 9TH
ers. The memory OF the hoax Of the
death Of Emperor Nicholas "and the tax
ing Of Scbustcpol,' ~ leads many 10 sup
pose that spectators may be at the bot
tom Of this also. The short time elapsing
between the report and its knowledge
throughout England, fuy5rs the suspicion
-supposing it TO be tue, we are yet 70
see reason 10 believe that It will secure
the immediate cessation Of hosiiIilics.
Baker, the murderer Of Poole, is Siill
At large, although Justice Stuart assisted
by q portion Of the police, has made active
vxortions TO secure him. Various rumors
are daily received Of his whereabouts. A
steamer did not leave FOR the purpose Of
oyerlaking him on board the vessel hound
for the Canary Islands, on account OF the
expense Of the trip. 1t is generally be-
licyed that he left the Isabella Jcwett, and
is now in New Jersey. Several Of the
police have interested themselves in assist
ing his escape. Baker was formerly q
police officer himself. Autographs Of
Poole disgrace many a shop window, and
a publisher a life OF William
Poole, soon 10 be ready, hoping TO make a
few dollars by the excitement.

The Shoe and Leather Dealers Bank have

The Kansas League is very active in
its operations, and intend 10 send a large
number to this Territory during the spring
and summer. They render good service
to those desiring 10 emigrate TO the West.
Good deal Of swindling has been car
ried on in this city and Brooklyn, under
the garb Of charity. A gentemanly-
looking person calls at a house and asks
for the lady, while waiting, selects q few
cards and marks on them a sum which
he says the parties have given 10 this OBJ
iect, and at the same time, ~solicits their
patronage. He presumes they ore nc

CorrAeEs.-In Cincinnati, they are

have generally twO Ooms. No nails are
used, and they can be put up or taken

are undoubtedly the cheapest houses the
emigranis to those new prairie regions can
provide themselves with. The scarcity
of timber on the pruires makes il a OBJ
