Sunday Travel IN Pittsburg,

PrTsBURG, Oct 17.-Chef Justice Lowry,
whose driver was fined SIS for violation of the
Sunday laws in driving his family to church,
has paid the fine and published a card, in which
he says he was quite ignorant that he had been
allowing transgresson of the law, though lie
had studied it carefully, and officially declines
carrying the case further, because there may
be suitorS before the Supreme Court in other
cases, and they ought not to be embarrassed
by having one of lis judges pecuniarily inter-
ested. Judge Lowrie is one of the three Judges
who rendered an opinion adverse to the Excel
sior Omnibus Co. IA few years since, for run

The Fright at Washington.

WAsHINGroN, Oct. l7-ln view of the pos
siblity of the disturbance at Harpers Ferry
extending to this city, the mayors of Wash
ington and Alexandria have taken precaution-
airy steps for its suppression. The President,
through the Mayor of Washington, ordered
strong detachment of volunteer militia to be
posted at the national and company armories,
which was promptly doue. Two hundred
were also placed in the City Hall for emcrgen-
cy. 1t is suggested by well informed persons
that the cause Of the instruction is the report
ed fact that not long since the contractors for
the construction OF government dam at the
ferry absconded largely indebted to several
hundred employees, who have taken this step
to indemnity themselves by the seizure OF the
government funds, which it was supposed were
transported thither ON Saturday. A gentle
man just in from Iarper's Ferry thinks the

A Good Thing i'm the Story Line,

Some years ago Cincinnati paper re-
ceived and printed the first chapter of what
appeared to be most thrilling romance
in the expectation of being provided with
the concluding portions as might be need
ed. The chapter was very ingeniously
written, and concluded by leaving the prin-
cipal character suspended by the pantaloons
from the limb of tree over perpendicu-
lar precipice. 1t attracted the attention Of
the press, and inquiries began to be made
concerning the continuation of the fate Of
its hero. Day after day the victimized
publishers looked for the remaining chap
iers, but in vain. They never came to
hand. Finding that they had been sold,
and wishing to put stop to the jokes
their cotemporaries were cracking at their
expense, they briefly concluded the story
thus:
"Chapter IL Conclusion. After hang
ing to the treacherous tree for four weeks,
his pantaloons gave way, and Charles Mel
vile rolled headlong over the yawning pre-
ciplce.
He fell distance of five miles, and
came down with the small of bis back on
q stake and rider fence. which so Jared him
that he was compelled to travel in Italy for
his health, where he is at present residing.
He is engaged in the butchering business,
end is the father of large family of chill
dren."

UNPRoFITABLE ENsLAvEMENr OF FREE
MAN.-The Rochester Democrat of the
sth states that party of ten slaves-two
men, three women, and five children
stopped at the U. G. Railroad office in
that city on the 7th, and were sent on to
Canada by the Ladies' Anti-Slavery. So
ciety. The party originally consisted Of
twenty persons, but was divided up in
Pennsylvania. The Democrat says one Of
the party was once a free man, born in
Pennsylvania boatman.
On one of his boating excursions into
Maryland, he was arrested at Havre de
Grace and put in Jail, and his Captain
made to pay fine of Sl75 for bringing
him into a Slave State. The colored man
not being able to pay his fine, was kept in
Jail some time, and then sold to the high
est bidder to pay his jail fees. After re-
naming in slavery about two years, he in
stigated this party to run away. The
thing was done by one or two escaping at
a times, and then concealing themselves in
the Blue Ridge mountain until they all got
together. The party look rather worse for
wear,

TERRIBLE TRAGDY IN LINCOLN Co.,
KENrUcKY.-In May last Jasper Rouzy
shot James Oldham, in Milledgeville, Lin
coin county, and Immediately fed. He
located himself in remote corner of Ma
rion county, and although the executive Of
State offered a reward of $499 dollars for
his apprehension, every one was fearful of
attempting to make the arrest-such was
his desperate character, and so thoroughly
was he armed. While in Marion be was
accustomed to commit depreciation after
depreciation of the most serious nature
He would go to the houses of persons and
demand their guns, threatening to blow
out their brains in case of refusal, so that
he was enabled to form quite an arsenal.
On last Monday he went to Brsdfords-
vile, and encountering a gentleman, he
seized his gold watch, and placing it In hls
pocket, said, "What will you do about itp "
Just at this juncture small man seized
him from behind and pinioned his arms so
closely that a number of persons were en-
abled to come up and assist in Handwriting
the prisoner. He was then taken to Leb-
anon. When leaving the latter place he
expressed desire that be might be killed
there, as he was sure that If be returned to
Stanford he would be hung.
Arriving at Stanford the county seat of
Lincoln, he was placed in jail. Yesterday
Saturday morning, about half past two
o'clock, mob Of some eighty persons at.
tackled the prison made forcible entrance,
and carried off the PRISONER. They pro-
ceeded short distance, and then informed
Rouzy of their intention. He only re-
quested that his body should be given to
his wife and it might remain in peace, as
he trusted his soul would. The mob then
hung him upon tree and left the wretch
ed man suspended between the heavens
and the earth. He was not disco,ersd IN,
til after daylight,

The EMPEROR BEFORE THE BATTLE.
1T was the 18th at Travagliato, the day
before we entered Brescia. The Emperor
had taken up his quarters at large farm
house inhabited by the mayor. The yard
is crowded with travelling carriages and wa
gons. The Emperor's attendants and the
people of the farm are passing and re-pass-
ing. 1t is six in the evening; the Empe-
ror comes down from his room attended
by Marshal Valiant. The whole military
household comes out and stands apart
The Emperor sits down and map is
brought to him. Marshal Valiant pre-
sents several papers to his Majesty. The
Emperor remains alone for moment, and
rests his elbow on another chair beside
him. A spy arrives and is introduced
His Majesty listens to him, but apart. A
colonel is called be gives ten napoleons
to the spy, who seems well satisfied with
his pay. Marshal Regnaud de St. Jean
D'Angely arrives; the Emperor converses
with him. Other generals come in. The
map is called for several times. The King
arrives in carriage, and the two mon
archs shake hands. The Emperor and
King 60 a little apart and converse, both
making cigaretts in rapid succession. The
Emperor tired of standing, leans against
the shafts of wagon close by; the con-
versation is lively and long. Other gener-
ais come in. The light, though n ow de-
clining, is still sufficient to allow of seeing
the map, which is again brought forward.
At last the King left at ten o'clock, and
the Emperor dismissed his household; a
quarter of an hour afterward he retired to
bis apartment. He sleeps more by day
than by night. He works till in the
morning and is called up again at or 4.

A French Woman makes the
Best Wife.

So far as nationality goes, should pre-
fer the french woman to all others in the
world. The German woman is all love
and gentleness, full of child like purity,
which transports one to Paradise. The
English woman-chaste exclusive, thought
full, and absorbed in her home affections,
so loyal, so firm and so gentle-is the ideal
of wife. The passion of the Spaniard
bites deep into the heart; and the Italian
in her beauty and softness, her warm ina
gination, often with her touching frank
ness, renders resistance impossible, and you
are enraptured, conquered. However, if
you desire a wife, whose soul shall res
pond to yonr own, by the sympathy of in
tellect as well as love-who shall renew
your heart by charming vivacity and gai-
ETY., helping wit, womanly words, or bird
like songs-you must choose French wo-
man. You risk very little in marrying
plain woman in France. She is most fre-
qaently so simply for want of love-
When she is loved, she becomes quite an
other person; you would scarcely recog-
nize her.-Nichelet.

mischief as any one here or anywhere; come
tell us, fer never heard how it was you
changed right about face, from the mouth
of hell to the field of hope. Come man
out with it, it maybe do good"
The young man thus urged, rose at the
first word, and looked for moment very
confused, all be could say was: "The little
shoes, they did it," With thick voice as
if bis heart was in his throat, he kept re-
peating this. There was stare of per-
plexity on every face, and at length some
thoughtless young people began to litter.
The man, in all his embarrassment, heard
this sound, and rallied at once. The light
came into bis eyes with fash, be drew
himself up and looked at the audi ,nce, the
choking went from his throat. "Yes,
friends~ ~ be said, in voice that cut IFS way
clear, as deep-toned bell, "whatever you
may think of it, I've told you the truth
the little shoes did it. l was brute and
fool; strong drink had made me both,
and starved me into the bargain, suffer
ed, deserved to suffer, but l didn't suffer
alone-no man does who has wife and

But / am no speaker to enlarge on that; ;
I'll stick to the little shoes. l saw one
night, when l was all but done for, the pub
lican's child, holding out her feet for her
father to see her fine new shoes, it was
a simple thing, but friends, no fist ever
struck me such blow as those little shoes.
They kicked reason into me. What reason

and child-in bitter night. l took hold
of my little one with grip, and saw her
chilled feet-men! fathers! if the shoes
smote me, what did the feet do? l put
them as cold as ice, to my breast; they
pierced me through and through. Yes! the
little feet walked right into my heart, and
turned out my seIfshness. l had a triie of
money left. | bought loaf and pair of

re- The Kansas Constitutional Con

H The Kansas Constitutional Con-
vention, which has permanently organized
at Wyandotte, electing Mr.. ]. M. Whinchell
as President, consists of S5 Republicans
and II Democrats. Perhaps it is as well
that Leaveworth County went wrong, since
otherwise the party of Freedom would not
have had sufficient opposition to stimulate
it to effort. As it is, there is good work
ing majority on the right side--a majority
larger than we have seen claimed by the
most sanguine Republican journals, in or
out of the Territory. Those prints which
hypocritieally condoled with us touching
the small show made by our friends in
Kansas, can, now that the majority of two
has become one of 10, dry their eyes.

HARVEST PRosPECTs AT HOME AND
ABRoAD.-The wheat harvest of Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, North Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, H.
Iinois and Indiana, is reported unusually
good in quantity and quality, and secured
in good order. Michigan, Iowa, Minneso-
ia, Wisconsin, Canada, and New York will
have full average crops of winter and
spring wheat, judging from The reported
prospects. And Ohio, where there has
been more frost croaking than elsewhere,
will have wheat crop Of some three mil
lions bushels more than than ever before
raised in the state.
The crop intelligence from Europe is all
favorable except Southern Russia, where
prought is severe. A London letter of the
oath says "the weather is fine and the
promise Of the harvest is highly satisfactory.
The Irish papers report the appearance of
the crops to be extremely promising, and
as yet there are no sign of the potatoe
blight.
