first statement in nothing. The truth as
spoken by that child was sublime.
Falsehood and1petjury had preceded
her testimonyAJhe prisoner had en-
trcnchcd himself fir es, until he deemed
himself impregakble. Witnesses had
falsified truth in his favor and villiany

hood was scattered like chaff. The

a revelation from God himself.

Mr.. Walfrau, from Jefferson City,
reports that on Wednesday, while two
boys, sons Of Mr.. Ridel, were returning
from school, about three and half
miles from Jefferson City, on the Moro
creek, they were captured by two arm.
ed bushwackcrs and taken into the
woods. The lnhuman wretches poured
some powder on a log, and putting on
some dry grass, set It on Gre with a
match, and then roasted the boys over
the blaze. The smallest boy struggled
and they released him. The oldest,
who was nine years old, was held over
the fire till his face was burned black
and one eye was burnt out. The little
sufferers were then released. The story
seems almost incredihlo,-[st. Louis

Secretary Chase has just received
a queer deposit from the War Depart
ment, being - 100000 Of Confederate
money captured on Red River. The
great question is, what will he do
with it?
Railroad Speed. 1t is stated that a
railroad car moves about seventy four
feet, or nearly twice its own length. in a
second. At this velocity, the locomo-
tive driving wheel, six feet in diameter,
makes four revolutions in second, the
piston rod thus traversing the cylinder,
eight times. If horse and carriage
should approach ard cross track at
the rapid rate OF six miles an hour, an
express train approaching at the mo
mcnt would move toward it two hun
drcd and fifty seven feet while it was in
the act of crossing if the horse NOV
ed no faster than walk tho train would
move toward it more than five hundred
feet, which fact accounts for the many
accidents at such points When the
locomotive whistle is opened at the
post eighty rods from the crossing, the
train will advancc near one hundred
feet before the sound Of the whistle
traverses the distance to and is heard
at the crossing.
