such an iudignityl We have q Constitution and

Illegally arrested guilty of any crime, but If they
are The State has, should have, the power 10
bring them to punishment. II the Provost Marrbal
had sent a squad OF soldeIs TO arrest and return

James Doyle, a blacksmith by
trade, died at Chicago last Friday
under tbs following circumstance
as detailed by the Times Of that
city:
He was an extremely athletic
person in appearance, and was con-
sidered by his fellow-workmen as
possessing remarkable degree Of
strength and bodily yigor. On
Thursday he worked in the shop
as usual until SIX o'clock, when he
went to supper in as good health
as usual. After supper he ,ccm-
planned Of extreme heat, and con-
tinued to complain until twelve
o'clock, when he went to bed. At
three O'Clock in the morning his
room mate. .awoke and fonnd him
breathing his last. A post hiortem
examination revealed no unusual
of the body, except a
remarkable ard unusual quantity
of adipose matter. BY overwork
and the heat of the day, he was
literally melted dozen. The coro-
ner's jury found this to be the
cause of his death:

7 of my mothers. She knew me a
once and after some polite refer
ence to cid times she asked abou
! the cottage.
After l had told her all | knew
: of the terms, ETC., she said with {
, sweet voice and coaxing in its
playful tones:
'Iwant the cottage exceedingly
! | must have it-but Idont want tc
paw cash for it. Indeed | cannot
unless sell my tiresome brown
stone house on - aYenue. Ii
you can only effect change for
me-oh! ! will be so pleased! !
will give you anything to do it,
and she named handsome sum.
t My heart gave a leap for my
throat. II shall be happy to do
my best for you," and thought ''on-
ly too happy to get a windfall p
Ibowed her to her carriage
There sat leaning back, ga phan-
tom of delight daughter.
She was just as much of phan-
tom to me, and as attainable by
me for having and holding, as if
she had been formed of ether, and
was not the Sweetest piece of
painted flesh" that ever nature
dyed. This growled into my own
comprehension as l turned away
after the bewildered stare [ gave
her, and shut my office door upon
the impertinent street, that might
be disposed to look into my face,
perhaps, and read its cllagrin
there. Her mother had been a
long time in arranging her hcunces
upon entering the carriage, and
before / could shut its door, had
stolen many looks into that be-.
witching face, quite enough to
have her image vividly before me
all that long day. I
/ Two days afterwards / went
with Mrs. k to look at the
cottage. She called for me in her
carriage, and her dadghter was
there too. | showed them the !
grounds and rooms with zeal, and
answered all their pretty ques-
tions with delight. Twas SO hap
py that the fates took ofense at
it.
In pulling up stiff rusty bolt,
which held one of the long win-
dow shutters, I was obliged to use
some muscular strength, and my
treacherous coat, buttoned to hide ]
MY seedy vest, burst down one of |
the shoulderblades, where it was
worn uncommonly thin.
1 was desperate: L felt my
cheek set hard and | stalked about
with a bunch of shirt sticking out /
at one shoulder: the mirrors, too,
showing me the figure | cut at ev-
cry turn. ei s3l
Well, what odds was it? They !
liked the place too well to be very
nice In the bargain for it. The
agreed to exchange it for city
property and Iwon my commiss-
ion. s@ o'8 ~
That night l did my first and
last job at tailoring; and the next
day in my mended coat waited
tipon Mrs. K to let her know
the final result of my negotiations.
She was out, but her daughter re-
ceived me, and had still much to
ask me about "that lovely cot
tage." My answers were all long
ones. The next day I sat in my
office, savage, because the excite
ment of the affair was over; had
leisure to think what a fool 1 had
been in throwing away my for
tune, which would have entitled
me to dream as | pleased of a GER
tain young lady, when the carri-
age drove up again, and looking
