A DEYILISH PLOT.

A conspiracy of the most horrible cearacter,
as to its aim, has just been revealed in Detroit,
Mich. The plot, revealed by one of the pro-
jectors, was, in substance a deliberately formed
plan to destroy the railroad bridge at Mount
Clemens, on the Grand Trunk Railway, and al
low the regular passenger train to precipitate
itself into the river. The object of this fen
dish attempt was plunder alone, the perpetra-
tors intending to conceal themselves in the Vi
cinity, and watch for the catastrophe, and then
pounce upon the victims on pretense of assist
ing them from the wreck.
The projectors and partial executioners of
this scheme were two men named Charles Smith
and Reed Bowman. They went so far as to
commence work on the bridge, removing by the
use of the wrench, number of nuts from the
long bolts which support the trestlework. The
latter is Howe's uss-bridge, of three spans,
of sixty feet each, and is about thirty-five feet
above the water. The peculiar construction of
these bridges is such, as every engineer knows,
that the bolts constitute its strength. They are
fifteen or twenty feet in length, and are placed
in such position as to bind the upper and low
er girders together, and press the diagonal
frame work into a solid mass of timbers, which
no ordinary weight can break down. The mo-
ment they are withdrawn, the bridge will fall of
its own weight, and the removal of small
portion of them contributes greatly to decrease
its power of resistance to an immense moving
weight. In the present instance, the bridge
was strengthened by iron girders, which ex-
tended from one abutment to the other, and
the danger was less, but no amount of girding
would have rendered the bridge safe for any
length of time after the bolts were rendered
ineffective by the removal of the retaining pow
er.
The plot was frustrated by the same influences
which gave it an existence. The restless vii
lainy of the projectors would not allow them to
wait for the slow consummation which they
were aiming at, and one of them broke into a
house with loaded gun, in the night time, and
attempted to shoot and rob the proprietor; and
the other was caught in the commission of some
petty ofense. Both of them were placed in
the custody Of the law and convicted Smith,
the one who committed the burglary and at
tempted murder, was sentenced last week to
State Prison for life, and Bowman went to the
same institution for three years. After SEN
tence Smith revealed the plot in reference to
the railroad bridge; and, upon examination, the
fruits of their nefarious labor were found to be
exactly as deacribed.

THE TAKING OF SAMPSON"

Delilah didn't do it, and there were no Phi
listines in the case. Samson himself was not
consulted in the matter, and there was no fool
ing with green whites, or with untried cords,
nor did he ever sleep so soundly that any maid
en- of Timnath, how skillful with the loom So
ever, could have woven his shaggy hair into the
web. Though in his mighty strength he would
indeed have scofied at all the green whites that
ever grew, and all the new cords with which
those sturdy limbs could have been bound would
indeed have become as flax in the fire, when he
chose to rise in his might and carry terror among
his foes. How many thousands of his enemies
he has killed, he cannot tell, though certain it
is his dealings with his adversaries he did not
use the jawbone of an ass, but trusted rather
to his own which served his purpose to much
better advantage. And when at last he fell into
the tolls of the enemy, it was through the
treacherous wiles of no betraying damsel; only
the carna appetite of his own unbounded stom-
ach was to blame For the Sampson of this
loaded minion column, is not the gentleman
whose sad story is told in the great primer pa
ges of the old Family Bible, but a horse of
quite another color-in fact, Bear, species,
Grizzly. And the Grizzly Bear, called Sampson,
is for strength and size quite as noted charac-
ter among his ursine kind, as was the elder
Sampson among men, being by far the largest
and strongest bear that eter was captured alive,
since bears have been product Of our noble
country
The story of his taking is as follows; Most
of the rayines about the foot of the California
Mountains are the habitat of bears of almost
every variety, and in the latter part of the year
1858 the few settlers in Tuolumne, Calaversa,
Mariposa, and San Joaquin Counties, California,
became unpleasantly aware of the presence in
their vicinity of more bears than they had I'M
mediate occasion for. The hunters, wLo set
forth on the task of persuading these unwel-
come neighbors, by the gentle arguments of
rifle ball and keen long knife to abdicate in their
favor, and to remove to some other and more
distant dominion, met with much success and
got decidedly the best of the argument with the
Grizzlies. Many of the latter succumbed to
the moral suasion of the rifle, and their skins
changed owners; others retreated and left the

An UNEASY ROCKING -CHAIR.-We have re-
ceived intelligence, through private source, of
the rescue of a slave-voman from a master in
Missouri, who was about to sell her to the
South. A copy of placard announcing the
auction-sale of the chattel found its way into
the hands Of brave man in Lawrence, Kansas,
who Immediately devised plan for her deliv-
erance. Harnessing span of horses to a COW
cred carriage, with two or three trusty compan-
ions inside, he set out at post-haste across the
line of the slave states to the masters house,
1t was only bold stroke that could accomplish
the purpose He quietly entered the dwelling
unattended and suddenly opened the door of a
room in which he found the master sitting in
rocking g-chair, and the slave-woman standing
at table. The rescuer, in a very gentlemanly
manner, cooked pistol, and pointing it at the
slave-masters head, exclaimed, "Keep your
seat, SIR Holding his revolver still in steady
aim, he turned to the woman and asked, "Would
you like to go to Kansas and be free ?"
"Yes masser," she replied.
"Then get ready in five minutes, while keep
this man quiet"
AS she was dressed with scarcely sufficient
clothes for decent covering, her unexpected Wis
itor asked, "Are there any good clothes in the
house ?"
"Missis has cloze," was the slave-woman's
reply.
"Then open her closet, and help yourself to
a decent frock."
The owner on recovering from his first sur
prise, stopped rocking in his chair, and began
to demonstrate.
"Keep rocking sir, keep rocking !" was the
rescuer's reply, uttered with most provoking
GOODNESS.
In few moments the woman returned with
shawl and pair of shoes for herself, and blan-
kets to wrap around her two little children,
and stood waiting for further orders.
"Are you ready ?" asked her friend.
"Yes massa," said she, eagerly, and the
chilen too"
"Then bid this man good-byew
The woman Immediately stepped out before
her master, (who kept his compulsory seat in
the rocking -chair,) and fourishing her bright
bandanna, exclaimed, "You thought you was
a-gwine to take me down South but amt
a-gwine for to go. Pm gwine with this yer
man to Kansas to be free"
The righteousness of the scene was heightened
by the irrepressible indignation of the master,
who cried out to his unwelcome gaest, "Do
you call this free country, where they lay
hands on a mans property, bought and paid
for, and steal it away before his own eyesP
What are our free institutions coming to ?"
The rescuer, without stopping to hold an ar
gument with a man whom, at that moment, no
argument would have been likely to convince,
ordered the woman and her children to run out
of the house and get into the carriage, where
she would find friends waiting to receive her.
He then bade his astonished prisoner farewell,
and retired from the room backwards, keeping
his pistol in steady aim, until he reached the
carriage. The whip was then cracked upon
the horses, and the party were off with the speed
of French diligence for the Kansas line =

A New PLANET.-Since lie Verrier discov-
cred the planet Neptune astronomers have con-
cluded not to go any further into illimitable
space they have, accordingly, turned their at
tention to the other part of the system. The
discovery of new planet between the Sun and
Mercury by DR.. Lescarbault is now attracting
considerable attention. NJ. lie Verrier con-
cludes that the new planet revolves around the
sun in 1877 days; that the inclination of its or
bit is - deg. 10 min. the longitude of its as
cending node, ~ deg. SO min, and that its
mass is one-seventeenth that of the Mercury
This mass is much too small to account for all
the anomalies which have been observed in the
movement of Mercuryj the supposition is there
fore strengthened that there is group of these
planets. The new planet can never be more
than 8 deg. from the sun, as seen from the earth,
SO that it can never set more than half an hour

A New CANDIDATE.-There is man in St.
Louis who ought to be the Democratic cand-
date for the Presidency, or else professor of
ethnology in some of the great southern insti-
tutions. He has taken that much abused book
of Genesis in hand, and has proved to his own
entire satisfaction that the progenitor of the
negroes was created before Adam, and at about
the same time as the cattle. He has also dis
covered that it was this ancient negro, and not
course, it follows that he has justly been doomed
to servitude ever since. Heie, now, is a fine
foundation for Democratic platform, and the
acute and original thinker who has discovered
it, Thompson by name, should not be "fower
born to blush unseen" He should be rewar-
ded.-Pror. journal.

after sunset or rise more than half an hour be-
fore. sunrise This, with its very small sizs,
renders it easy for us to understand why it has
never been observed before.
NJ. Wolf, of Zurich, in his last published
communication relative to the solar spots, has
given all the observations which he thinks can
be referred to passages Of the inter-Mercurial
planet across the sun. He finds that all the
time of which is accurately noted, may be &C.
counted for by planet which should revolve
round the sun in 3S 1-2 days, or in 10 IA days
This agrees remarkably with the period of 10. I
days deduced by NJ. lie Verrier from the oh.
servations of DIR. Lescarbault.

POETRY.
THE COCKNEY.

From he Neo York Ledger.l
1t was in my foreign travel,
AT famous Flemish inn,
That met stoutly person
With very ruddy skin;
And his hair was something sandy,
And done in knotty curls,
And was parted in the middle,
In the manner Of girls.
lie was clad in chequered trousers,
And his coat was of sort
To suggest scnnty pattern,
1t was bobbed so very short;
And his cap was very little,
Such MS soldiers often use;
And he wore pair of CATERS,
And extremely heavy shoes,
| addressed the man in English,
And he answered in the same,
Though he spoke it in fashion
That thought II little lame;
For the aspirate WINS missing
Where the letter should have been,
But where'er il wasn't wanted,
lie was sure to put 1t inl
When spoke with admiration
Of St. Peters mighty dome,
He remarked, "'Tis really nothing
To the sights we ave ut 'ome!"
And he declared upon his honor
Though of course twas very queer
He doubted il the Romans
'Ad the hart of making beer
Then we talked of other countries,
And he said that he had heard
That the Hamericans spoke lIinglish,
But he deemed it quite habsurd;
Yet he felt the deepest hnterest
In the missionary work,
And would like to know if Georgia
Was in Boston or New York
When left the man in gaiters,
He was grumbing. DER his gin,
AT the charges of the hostess
OF that famous Flemish inn;
And lie looked very Briton,
$50, methnks | see him still,)
As he pocketcd the candle
That was mentioned In the bill,
