A YANKEE AT COURT IN THE LOWER
REGIONS.

The court was sitting; and business seemed to
be carried on with dispatch quite unknown to
the oldest inhabitants ofeven our upper tribunals,
particularly the English Court of Chancery !:
Presently one of the constables bawled out
"Virgil Hoskins! Virgil Hoskius"'
"Here!" answered Yankee peddler, quaking
up to the bar
Rhadamanthus was seated with great number
Of huge accourt-books before him.
"Virgl Hoskins is your maine, Is lt!' said ne;
''here it is among the HIS, p. 49,35S. All! Virgil,
there is terrible long account against you. Let's
see, few of the charges
"virgil Hoskins, DIR.
June p, IS: 10 selling, in the course of one
peddling expedition, 497 1868 wooden nutmegs,
PSI ,532 Spanish cigars made of oak leaves, and
647 wooden clocks
"What do you say to that charge, Hoskins!"
Hoskins-Say to it! why, that was counted, in
our place, abeout the greatest peddlln' trip that
ever was made over the Potomac"
The Judge reads again-'June 20, IS: To
stealing an old grindstone, covering it with cotton
cloth, smearing it over with butter and selling 1t
as cheese
Hoskins quite surprised -"Jimminy you
wouldn't punish man for that, would ye:'
Judge reads-'December ID, 1870: TO making
counterfeit dollar out of pewter, when you
were six years old, and cheating your own father
with it.
Hoskins-"My father was raal glad when he
found it eout He said it showed that had a
genius"
Judge again-'To taking a WORKOUT pair OF
shoes, which you found in the road, and selling
them to old lady, as being the actual shoes
of ct, Paul
Hoskins with exultation) Dyes, made four
dollars and ten cents by that jobH'
The Judge-July 2, IS: To taking an old
watch case, putting live cricket into it and then
selling it as patent lever in full notion
Hoskins-"He! he. he. wal that was one of the
cutest tricks what ever played in all my lifc!''
Judge Rhadamanthus- would occupy me
a week, Hoskins to go through all the charges
against you. really am getting out of all patience
with New England, for it gives ME more trouble
than all the rest of the world put together. You
are sentenced to be thrown into lake of boiling
molasses where nearly all of your countrymen
already are, with the same old grindstone tied to
your neck"
After the Yankee had been disposed of there
were few other cases. Among the rest an old
Virginian was condemned for fishing on Sunday,
a Kentuckian for DEMONSTRATING, Georgian for
hard swearing, and South Carolinian for taking
part with the General Government against his
own State

GEN. SAM HOUSTON----HIS PUBLIC
CAREER.

A correspondent writes from Washington to the
Philadelphia Press:
"Just at this time when it was believed that the
star Of Sam Houston, of Texas was passing rapidly
from the political armament and losing its lustre
before the blaze of other lumnaries; while yet the
accents of his ornamented farewell speech to the
American Senate linger in cars, the news from
his own State comes in upon us that he has been
elected Governor of Texas, after an animated
and w:rm contest. Here, now, is another man
whose experience may be said strkingy to illustrate
American character, and upon whose eventful life
it Is profitable and pleasing to dwell. A century
hence our children's children will read of Sam
Houston to-day we read of John Smith, who
was rescued from the Indian faggot by the
Christianzed maiden, Pocahontas.
1t is rare to read the life of any one man SO
crowned with political honors, and so identified
with political reverses and trumphs. If your
readers will recollect that Sam Houston began
his early life among the Cherokee Indians; that
directly after that he clerk and county auditor
in Tennessee; that he kept school, that in 1913 he
enlisted in the army and served under General
jackson in he Greek war; that he was wounded,
and rose to the rank of lieutenant in that war,
that he studied law at Nashville; that he served
from 1923 to 1927 member of the National
House Of Representatives from Tennessee; that
he was two years the Governor of that State; that
he resigned that Office went back and renewed
his residence among the Cherokees in Arkansas;
that he went to Washington to protect the
aborigines from fraud, and returned to them
disguised with his little success; that he went to
Texas on visit, elected u member of the
convention to form State constitution prior to
the admission fthe State into the Mexican Union :;
that he headed the disafection growing out of
the rejection Of the constitution, by Santa Anna;
that he assisted in arousing the Texans to arms;
that he was elected commander in chief ofthe troops;
that he conducted the vigorously, and brought
1t to successful termination at the battle of San
Jacnto; that he effected treaty acknowledging
the independence of Texas; that he was elected
rstpresidcnt of the republic; that he then became
member of the Texan Congress- and was again
elected president of Texas; that he contributed
greatly to the annexation of Texas to the United
States; and that, in 1914, when Texas came into
the American Union, he was elected a Senator
in Congress-of which body he served until
March last-retiring from it to begin a new round
of Offices Governor of his State;-I say, if
your readers will cast their eyes back over this
marvellous record, it will be difficult to induce
them to believe that Sam Houston was but sixty
six years of age ON the second of March last
being younger than the President of the
United States.

A NIGHT OF CRIME.

The town of Preston, Con necticut, last Monday
night was the scene of most wholesale incendiar-
ism, which is unparalleled in this country. 1t
seemed that man named Chapman had quarrelled
with and abused his wife in such a manner that
she could not live with him, and returned to the
house of her father, a farmer named Wheeler. n
short time since he drove to the house of his faith
er-in-aw and stole away his son, lad seven years
Of age, whom he ll-treated for several days, dur
ing which he was pursued An officer finally
overlook him at place called NOank, took the
boy away from him, and served on him petition
for divorce, his wife having resolved upon such
step. On Monday night he returned from Noank
in perfect rage not only against his wife and her
family, but against the whole town for taking her
part Alta late hour he commenced his fendish
career, and, as he passed along the road, he fired
nine buildings, most of them barns, full of grain,
wagons, farming tools, &c. which created Il loss of
many thousand dollars to the different owners
At length the stealthy villain came to the house
of Mr. Wheeler, his fatherin-law, where the clos
ing scene of this drama ofdevastation was enacted
and where he no doubt intended to murder the
whole family. The Wheeler family was aroused
by the son of one of their neighbors whose build
ings had been fired, who came there for assistance
Before they could get ready to depart to the
sistance Of the others they discovered their own
out-buidings on fire. and while they were carrying
water to extinguish the fire in the barn Of the
boys discovered Chapman at the corner of the
house attempting to set fire to dry brush
lying against the house. He Immediately gave
the alarm. A regular fight ensued, and Chapman
snapped pistol twice at the head of Mr. Wheeler,
but the weapon missed fire. The contest was
finally ended by son of Mr. Wheeler dscharging
musket loaded with shot at Chapman; the latter
fled. 1t was afterwards discovered that this shot
proved fatal to the wretch, for when parties went
out to scOur the woods the next morning his BODY
was found near spring, where he had gone to
bathe his wounds. In his abdomen were found
about one hundred shot wounds. A general feel
ing of relief followed when it was known that the
incendary no longer lived to prosecute his fend-
ish revenge.

A MAN FLAYED ALIVE.

Some time last Spring company OF Fke
Peakers left GRANVILLE, Illinois, for the Kansas
cold regions. While travelling through the Indian
country on their way out, one OF the company,
Young man of desperate character, from the
vicinity of GRANVILLE, declared his determination
to shoot the first Indian he met; and, unhappiy'
during the day they overlook on the prairie
defenceless squaw, when he, in mere wicked wan
toness, levelleled his gun and shot her dead.
His companions were horror-stricken' at the
bloodthirsty deed but felt that they had no power
to punish him. The tribe to which the squaW
belonged was not far distant when the deed was
perpetrated. They discovered her liteless body,
and saw at once the manner of her death. They
pursued the party of Illinois Pixies Packers, and
in few hours overlook them and demanded to
know who had committed the murder. The COM
pany of five or six Pixies Peakers found them
selves surrounded by nearly two hundred enraged
Indians, who threatened to immediate the whole
party if they did not point out and give up the
murderer To save their own lives they gave up
Haynes to their vengeance. He was taken by
the Indians to distance, while his companions
tarried on their route see what would be his fate
After while the Indians returned, with their
victim literally fayed alive. They had skinned
him from head to foot The wretched being was
still alive when brought back to his companions.
He lived in agony long enough to tell how he had
been tortured, but was soon released by death
from unspeakablc sufferines-&. Louis Democrat
