MIR. sicKles, enid in Prison.


On Wednesday. says the last Harper's
WeeHy, when 1t was ascertained that Mrs.
Sickles would be able to leave in the train at
SIX o'clock the next morning, Mrs Bagioii
carried Miss Laura Sickles to see her father.
UP to this time, out of dread that the place
IN which she would find him would create a
terror in her miad, Mr.. Sckles had refused
to have her brought to him. but when he
found she was about to leave, auJ that hav-
ing been kept under the impression that he
was IN New York, whittier she was going
and that arriving there and not fuding her
father she would experience great disap-
pointment, he finally gave orders to have her
brought to him, expressing at the same time
fear, which afterward proved to be too
well founded, that the visit, as much as he
wanted to see his child, would result in the
formation of some gloomy impression in her
mind. Brought down in a carriage, on a
bright beautiful day, the little girl passed. il.
few moments, from the clear sunlight into
vaulted room, with bare white washed walls
ana brick floor, at first the 10y at seeing
her father engrossed her attention, but soon
the strange appearance of things excited her
childish wonder
In one corner she found rack containing
few old muskets belonging to tie jail, and
now superseded by the more efficient reyolvers
with which the guards are all armed, In an
other corner was narrow cot for sleeping
a poorer looking affair than her fathers SER
wants have; and then out side the windows
there was row Of iron bars, and, altogether,
she was evidently a. a loss to know what TO
make of her fathers surroundings, but fully
convinced that it was all very queer. She
wanted to know why her father did not come
home, and was told he had great deal to
DO, and could not leave it present, then she
asked II be was not going with mamma aud
Laura to New York IL the morning, and was
answered that be could not leave at present,
but hoped TO see his little daughter again soon
y hundred questions, sgch as an excited and
puzzled child would naturally raise. were
propounded, and all apparently parted, but
at last some dark forebodings seemed to fall
upon her delicate soul, as if the very prox
unity of prison and criminals shocked the
purity which could not comprehend the
meaning of crime, for suddenly her little face
became troubled, and her beautiful large,
dark eyes filled with tears, that multi piled
and flowed freely down Der checks, and.
when the fountain was exhausted, we're re-
placed by sobs. She could give no answer
to the many coaxing inquiries as to what
made her weep. and her grief was SO great
that she was at last taken away by her grand
mother, bearing with her small bunch of
flowers which her fnther had culled from a
boquet on his table, and followed By yearn
iGg agony which caused the strong man to
hide mis- face in his pillow and weep the most
bitter tears he has shed since he has been in
prison.

Steam NurigatiOn on the Canals The
SUBJECT Of navigating canals ~ steam is not

Horrible Tragedy In st. Louis.
A JEALOUS HUSBAND SHOOTS HIS WIFE AND
HFdSALF.

| IEALoUS HUSBAND SHOOTS HIS WIFE AND
HrasALF.
In St Louis, on "Wednesday, James Ham
| ilton, meat seller, twenty four years OF
age, in paroxysm of jealousy, shot his wife,
young girl of eighteen, to whom he had
been married only three months. and after
wards discharged pistol into his body in
fiictipg wound from which he eau hardly
recover. Mrs. Hamilton's recovery is deeued
| probable.
The difficulty seems to have origined with
Hamilton's relatives, who were opposed to
his marriage. a few days since, bis sisters
visited him in company with a young lady to
whom he had formerly been attached, appa-
rently with the intention of annoying his
wife. Hamilton, however, received them
very coolly, and at once made known to the
young lady that her presence was not agree
able. Soon after be became excited and
moody, and occasionally sarcastic and re-
| proachful, and armed himself with pair OF
pistols. His wife became frightened, and
was entirely at loss to account for his con-
duet.
Matters went on in this way until Wednes-
day, when lady residing in the house heard
Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton engaged in a loud
alteration On entering the room, she
found Mrs. Hamilton packing her trunks
She asked her visitor to go with her to the
| cathedral The husband thea said, 'Y on
want to go for divorce, DO you 2" adding
$50 that you can marry again" His wife
did not reply He then grasped her by the
arm. and drew pistol, which missed fire
throwing it down, he discharged another,
which took effect in her arm aud passed thence
into her side. Sc ran out, screaming Save
me save me - and fed by the rear into the
next house northward, occupied by Mrs.
Norton. The desperate man followed, while
Mrs. Green for aid. He was boldly and
sharply confronted by Mrs Norton, who in
formed him ti;at he should do no shooting in
her house, and who. despite his drawn pistol,
summarly elected him from the room and
fastened him out
He then loudly swore lie would kill him
self, and was coofly advised by hrs n to do
it in the yard and not in her hall The re-
port of pistol was instantly heard. On open
ing the room door he was found PROSTATE and
bleeding in the outer and rear doorway AS
slstance having arrived, he was conveyed in
to an unoccupied front room of Mr. Green's
residence, and laid on pallet Of straw. A
most horrible wound had been inflicted, for
the wretch had discharged the entire con-
tents of his third pistol in the upper abdomi-
nal region, near the navel. The irtestines,
spleen, and liver were shockingly mingled.
A pool of blood had flowed in the yard, and
the crimson torrent was still flowing despite
the bandages applied.
As has been before stated, the woman will
probably recover, but Hamilton's situation is
desperate. He was removed to the hospital.
where he bitterly bewailed his folly, and
begged 10 see his wife once more before he
died.
