Bivins is the only heir of his fathers
property, and he has placed all his busi-
ness in the hands of Mr.. W. W. Osborn for
settlement. In regard to the insurance on
the house, which was insured in the Lena
wee Insurance Company, 4 nice point Of
law arises. Had the house been set on fire
while his father was yet alive, the insu-
renee would have belonged to Bivins, bat
as he states that his father was killed, and
died previous to his setting FIRE to the house,
he cannot, of course, have the benefit OF
the insurance, aS on his fathers death he
Immediately became the owner Of the prop
erty. BE states that he intends to erect
handsome monuments over the graves of
his parents, and, if his father-in-lsW will
permit him, over the grave of his wife also.
he is, however, in doubt as to whether Mr..
Brownell will accord him the perniSsien.
He states that he intends to give 81 900 10
a young brother of his wife, and also, if he
could, he expressed wish to make some
amends for the wrong he had done to the
young lady at Grafton.

he stated to Us that one reason why he
objected to going fully into details, was
that he intended to write book; he had
very interesting life TO chronicle, and he
feared that the full publication now might
injure the sale Of his work. This struck
Us % decidedly cool for a man in his situs-
ton, but he appeared TO have, a. before
stated, "complste control Of his nerves"
He says he feels deeply, more deeply than
any one else could, sorrow at the crime he
has committed, and grief at the loss of his
parents and wife, who, he asserts, he loved
dearly. His parents, he says, have always
been kind to him, and on being interroRGt-
ed as TO why he killed them, he said he WsS
unable to tell that it "all came aoross
him." and that he could not explain il.
HIS reason for killing his wife he sYoWS to
be that she stood in the way Of his union
with the young lady at Grafton, TO whom he
seems to have transferred his affections en-
tiTely. He states that this young lady was
pure and good, and that he left her 90.
Her personal sppearance, however, he
states, was not equal TO his Wife's, 10 whom,
the frcts in the case, he
says he was devotedly attached. The
murdered lady was . daughter of Mr..
Thomas BroWnell, who is we'll known to
many of our citizens.

Before the war Gen. Logan was an awful
democrat. and in his speeches actually com
mitted himself against coercion. When Sum-
ter was nred upon, and his political chief,
Douglas, wheeled about and pronounced for
coercion, then he, too, began to reconsider -
1t IL said that he wrote 70 Douglas to know
what 70 do, and that the latter replied, ''raise
regiment, John." Logan did so, and was
commissioned colonel BY an old political an
tagonist, Gov. Yates. During the Grst year
OF the war ne remained very much ofa demo-
crat-fought for the Union with slavery. He
dates his abolitionism from the day he enter
ed some southern city-I think it was Nash
yilieAand found no Welcome except from the
negroes. Last fall bis wife beta span OF mules
with Gen. Singleton that her husband would
vote for Lincoln-and won them. A few,
weeks before the election be was given leave
Of absence. and announced that be would
speak; but, desirous OF getting at his old
political associates, refused to say. Oh which
side be would speak, he got = tremendous
audience, and pronounced for Lincoln; and
then spoke twice each day fiIl election. Az
the direct result, the political revolution IN

-courtesies Of business transaction may, or

democratic principle adhered to In the oil

BEAUTIFUL Lee EED.-We find in q SER

The subjecto Of his discourse was "Rest:"
/. Z. They tell q story that one day Rabbi judah
and hs brethren, the seven pillars OF wisdom,
sat in the court of the temple on fast day, dis
putting about rest. One said it was to have
attained sufficient wealth, yet without sin.-
The second said it was fame and praise OF all
men. The third, that It was possession OF
y power to rule the State. The fourth, that 1t
J consisted only of happy home. The nfth,
that it must be only in the old age OF one who
is rich, powerful, famous, aud surrounded by
children and children's children. The sixth
said that all were vain unless man kept all
the ritual Of u oses. And Rabbi Judah, the
venerable, the tallest OF the brothers, said,
Eye have spoken wisely, but one thing more
Is necessary. He only can find rest who to
all things addeth this-that he keep the tradi-
/ tions OF the elders. fe
There sat In the court a fsir-haired boy,
playing with lilies In his lap, and, hearing the
talk, dropped them in astonishment from his
hands and looked up-that boy Of twelve
and said: NAY, nay. fathers, he only can flnd
rest who loves his brother as himself and God
with his whole heart and soul. He is greater
than fame, wealth, and power; happier than a
happy home without it; better than honored
age; he Is law to himself above all tradition" !"
