From book published in 1886 by the
Harpers, it appears that in 1885 one
JOHN 4. MarreR was ferrcted out (by Vir.
gil a. Stuart as the head of a company,
embracing from Is to GO chosen men
(whites, it is inferred) in nearly every
Slave State, whose chief business was to
steal and sell slaves. They had for years
been engaged in this and worse business,
stopping at no crime-but, as was alleged:
were maturing general insurrection (ho-
ping to gain immense wealth by plunder
during the confusion) when they were ex-
posed. Murrell was imprisoned, when
We believe he died. Then, in various
parts of the South, suspected men, blacks
and whites, we're put to the torture to
compel them to make confessions, which
some did, while others (whites) refused,
and were murdered, protesting their inno-
cence to the last! [Weak-minded and
weakened Democrats are to believe that
"the Chronicle clique" was in this scheme.
To be sure, it was confined to the Slave
States, but telegraphing could have been
resorted to; and even if the Telegraph had
not then been invented, they might have
communicated by an imaginary or under
ground medium. Put it on 'em, any way
somebody may swallow the story j
Every Few Months,
In some part of the South, among one or
the other or both colors, greater or lesser
disturbances of the relation" are thought
of, attempted, or accomplished. Happily,
they are generally easily suppressed. Yet
the power and disposition of crushed hu-
manity to throw off the yoke, increase as
numbers and intelligence prevail.
THE MORAL OF 1T ALL.
Since oceans of human blood have been
shed through Slavcry-since it causes all
implicated in it to quiver with constant
fear and excitemcnt-and since such
alarms do not assail Free States. every

Hints for the Season.

The warmer and dryer you keep your
domestic beasts, the less feed will they
require. BE merciful to them, and you
will make money. Get them covered and
shielded from rain, snow and fierce winds.
Copperas dissolved in water and sprin-
kled (not with the handy where rats and
mice do run, drives them away very fast.
Beef must sell 20 per cent. higher than
mutton to be as profitable.
There is no better manure than leaves,
So easily obtained.
See that your winters wood is dry and
under cover.
Protect your cellars, wells, &C., against
a hard winter-it may come.
Sow lettuce, &c, for an carly spring crop.

THE MORAL OF IT ALL.
The Old knights Treasure.
~ HENRY MoIEoRD.

Sir John was old, and grim, and gray;
The cares If sixty years he bore;
The charm of youth had withered away
From his iron features long before.
In his dull cid house of backened stone,
With servants quaint and tried and few
For many a year he had lived alone,
As the harsh, and the cold, and the heartless do.
There was plate on his silebosrd-plate of price;
Ills pouch had ruddy gold at need;
And twenty men might we'll suffice
The lands he held by power and deed.
He had lived-the world said-much too long,
Had sold his heart for wealth and power;
And tales, they thought, of bygonc wrong,
Would be walled, too late, at his dying hour.
Beside the bed Of grim Sir John
The quaint, DID, faded bed Of state
Where, in the centuries dead and gone,
Had slept gray heads with a diadem's weight
Beside his bed, and near at hand
To his easy chair Of oaken wood,
Fastened and strapped with bar and band,
A huge black casket ever stood.
No friend of his-thcy were far and few
Had ever seen the opened lid;
Not even the tongue of a servant knew
What thing of wealth the casset hid.
Twas rumored, that, at dead of night,
When shut and barred were window and door,
1t opened to the old mans sight;
But that was rumor-nothing more.

Our sharpest pang, our bi,terest tear,

And sorrow crown each lingering year,
No path We sbun, no darkness dread,
Our hearts still whispering, Thou art near
When dropping pleasure turns to grief,
Aud trembling faith is changed I" fear,
The murmuring wind, the quiseriug leaf
Shall softly tell Us, Thou art near
On Thee fling our buriening woe,

writing on the 10th inst, says:
Last Sunday a week, Bill Broker of
this city, named Jose Lopez, committed
suicide at Murianon, about two leagues
from this sity, by blowing out his brains.
1t appears that a cousin of the young
lady, who is of great respe ctability, to
whom he was engaged to be married, had
given him. to negotiate, forged due bill
for $1,000, which due bill Lopez had accor-
dinghy negotiated. The fact of its being
a forgery soon came to light. - soon
as Lopez heard of the fact, he went to
one of the firms whose name was forged,
and paid the $1,000, asking them to re-
turn the paper to him. Their reply was
that they must first consult the other par
ty whose name was also forged, before
they could do so.
Next day, Lopez having armed himself.
went to the residence of one of the part
ners of the first named firm and repeat
ed his request to have the bill returned
TO him, adding that as he had refunded
the money, no injury could arise to them.
and declared he would rather forfeit his
| life than disclose the name of the per-
! son from whom he received the bill
! His request was denied, and he was told
there was no remedy but prosecution. -
