A Esiblicnl TgeDutma5O.a.

Mr.. Lord, who is now residing in Hi
nois, was a short time since riding from
Jacksonville to Peoria, in that State, and
AS he was passing small hut by the road
side, he noticed a shaggy headed boy oil
about eight years of age, with large eyes
and no hat dressed in worn-out pair OF
his fathers trousers, trying to balance
himself on the splintered top of a hickory
stump.
More for the purpose Of breaking the
monotony of riding ali day without speak
ing, than to gain information, Mr.. Lord
reined his horse up to the fence and ex-
claimed
"My little boy, can you te1r me how far
it is TO Sangamon Bottom?"
The boy poised himself on one leg,
opened his large eyes to their widest eX-
tent, and replied
bout six miles, | reckon

Mr.. Lord.

"Do you enjoy yourself out here in the

"What ails your pants?"
''ToTe 'em," was the laconic answer.
Finding that he had hold Of genius
that could not be pumped, Mr.. Lord
turned his head to depart, but in return
was now hailed by the boy, who, in
comical, half-reluctant tone, exclaimed
"What mout your name be?"
Lord" was the reply.
The boy here grinned all over, even to
the wrinkles in his fathers trousers, and
seemed hardly able to express a broad

that even thoughts to which the incident
gave rise, were not suffic clent to keep him
from snickering throughout the rest of
the journey.

son, too. shall be no more pointed out as

The old man had forgotten that he was
not alone. In his hurried walk across the
room he stumbled over Milly.
"How dare you remain here?" said he
fiercely.

"Come and see," and Milly led the way
into the presence Of the dead.
The grayhaired man gazed long and
earnestly on the face Of his early friend.
and then silently sank down on the floor
"Child," said he, after a long pause,
Il was not myself just now. For the
sake of the love once bore him, can do
him NO harm now-his memory is sacred
to me. What matters il if the world be-
lieves me guilty, as long as am not guilty

it Be SO, MY chld?'
"Yes, my second father" and Mlly
also knelt down by the dead. Il, the door

before. + X X Il

! The conspiracy by which Cadwallade
! Wallace, Jr., who murdered John Godfrey
at Chilicothe, escaped from the Ros,
County Jail is being divulged. 1t will bt
remembered that Wallace shot Godfrey IL
the street, on account Of his demurring al
getting out of wagon in which they were
riding, to give place to some girl Of the
town. He escaped some months age
mysteriously. Nelson McGoIlister, an ac
coinplice in the conspiracy, has recently
divulged the whole affair. 1t seems that
young Wallace enlisted the servant girl OF
| the Deputy Sheriff Ross and she took n
man named Long into the plan, and one
night while Ross was absent the prison
doors were opened anl Wallace escaped.
a few moments after the girl raised an
outcry, and the citizens found her with
her eyes bandaged and hands bound, and
generally acting the part Of having been
overcome by force Suspicion attached
to the Deputy Sheriff, and the party or
gans improved the occasion to lament that
John r. Anderson, the Democratic candi-
date, had not been elected in place Of I'll e
Republican, when all such affairs would
have been avoided.
1t appears also that the father of Wal.
lace, WHO il = wealthy man, had effected
Il bargain with this same Anderson and
George S. Baker, city marshal Of Chilli
cothe, to liberate the prisoner; but while
plan, young Wallace appeared, having got
the start Of them; therefore these conspira-
tors got no money.
As in all well regulated plays there was
an under plot i0, this i'll which more wo-
men were concerned, and this under plot
was the means of diyulging the affair. A
young citizen of the place was intimate
with the sisters of Nc Collster. Anderson
also visited these; the young man was
Jealous; one night when Anderson was
coming, he secreted himselfand overheard
him tell one of the gils lis plan for the
escape of Wallace. Subsequently he
threatened Anderson to divulge unless he
paid him $1,000. Anderson being short
gave hIm his note for the amount, and
took written pledge of secrecy. The
note matured and was not taken up. FL
nally it was settled by Anderson paying
+ 100, and the papers were Cancelled, but Il
third party had been called in, and he is
now witness. The case is before the
Grand Jury of Ross county.

Pennsylvania and Missouri and New York.
| can only hope he will be nominated
He will command me, heart, voice and

party in California was never in better
heart than now; they have fought against
the combined influence Of Federal and
State patronage, which is nowhere IN the

Eina.c oi the sick,cs Case.

Mr.. Daniel Z. Sickles, having fully
succeeded in establishing vile reputation
for his wife, and in proclaming her shame
6ned his own status by resuming his
marital relations with that person. On all
the tragic and heroic scenes, Of which Mr..
Sickles was the hero. few mon.as since,
at Washington the exhibitions Of frantic
grief, the murderous revenge, the heart
rending separation, and the public mani
festations Of sympathy and applause-this
is a perfectly Ineligible and conclusive
comment. The final act has undoubtedly
cost him his last personal and political
friend, as 1t has removed him forever, Of
course, from even the maudlin sympathy
Of "clerical supcs, ," and of the chivalrous
believers in such "fenlale purity" as sub
sists only through the protection Of en-
ragged husbands. Yet this reconciliation
need not di>appoint those who closely OBJ
served tho conduct and character of Sick
les, and rightly estimated his motives.-
The finale is in keeping with the entire

He is DEAD.--Yes--the friend who
was by our side but yesterday-whose
laugh was as loud as our own, and whose
spirits were as light as the most active
is now dressed in the habiiments OF the
tomb. His voice will enliven no more
no more will his presence cheer-no more
will joy and gladness spring up in the hearts
Of those who were wont to be relieved from
the benevolence of his heart. He is dead!
lie has looked his last on field and flower
spoken the last kind word and given the
last kiss of affection.
The flowers of spring will wither upon
his gNave-the birds will sing above his
resting place, and the merry voices of
children will float upon the air--but the
sleeper will not awake till the ssound of
the archangel's trump shall call the dead
TO life. May we learn useful lesson
from the sudden departure of one who so
recently was engaged in the active scenes
of life. May we SO iiYe, that if called sud
denly from the purs&t Of time, we may
be prepared for the beVef world where the
weary are forever at rSStA.
