Thiaxas struck by Lightning.

A Fort Leavenworth correspondent OF
the Columbus (Ohio) Journal writes: !:
A peculiar freak of nature occurred
here on the 18th ult Four men who had
been committing some crime, for which
crime warrants were issued for their ar
rest and the proper civil authorities were
in pursuit of, sought refuge under a large
tree, between here and the city, probably
half mile from the fort, to protect them
from the rain, as twas raining very rap
idly and uncJmmonly stormy, and such
storms as are only known in Kansas
wind blowing with terrible fury and rain
coming down in torrents, numbering and
lightning, "as though the clerk OF the
weather was on a bust" Well, as we
may say, by an interposition OF Provi-
dence, these men were struck by light
ming, and, Of course, instantly killed; ;
but strange to say, that, although every
man was killed Of the four, not sign of
the freaks of the electric fluid was visible
on the tree. Thsir bodies THE men)
were as black as coal, and two of them
horribly mutilated the ground was torn
mn for several feet around the tree, but
il remained untouched At the same
time several houses were struck in the
city, but no damage done save the demo
lition Of few chimneys.

four seconds, when it suddenly exploded
with a tremendous detonation, tearing
the tree into thousand spllnters, and
setting FIRE to the portion of the stump
remaining. A considerable area was
filled with the falling foliage, and frag-

Incidsnt At the white House.

A friend, recently on a visit to WASH

beneath his notice at a Presidential re-

attending, that is so illustrative of the

After arriving in the ante-room OF the

A Western Politician.

The following capital anecdote OF Ar
kansas political life is only an exaggera-
ton of what may be observed in other
Western States: 1u
About twenty years ago, Gov. Y
and Judge W were candidates for
Congress in their district. They were
both tar-sighted shrewd politicians-the
Governor, by far the more winning IN
his manners, as the sequel will show.
One hot day in July, while they were
travelling together on the canvass, they
came upon a party of twenty men, or
more, assembled ON the roadside for the
purpose OF having a shooting match.
Thinking il good time and place for
presenting their respective claims. the

good marksmlr, succeeded in winning
quite qasntity Of beef, which constitu-
ted the prize. -lL-[. LIZ
The Judge had conscientious scruples
as To shooting matches, and id not par
ticipate, but stood by, conversing with
the more sober of the crowd, while the
Governor was in b igh glee with his com
psnions over the beef When 1t was
gwen out to the successful shooters, our
Governor ordered his to be divided out
among some widows whom he ascer-
tanned lived in the vicinity, and then
asked the b'hoys if they were not dry 2
OF course they were, and the Governor
ordered a plentiful supply of the Oh
be joyful" Here the Judge had scru-
pies and did not participate but had it
been otherwise it would have availed
nothing The Governor was decidedly
the man at the shooting match, while the
Judge felt himself entirely in the voca-
tive. Leaving their friends they pro-
eeeded on their way some fifteen miles,
and halted at camp ground, where an
annual camp meeting was being held.
They separated in the crowd. each cleo
tioneering with all his might, with the
old and young, friends and strangers
making hay when the sun shone--for
there was fine opening La,
Toward night the Judge begins to look
around for his distinguished opponent,
but could not find him anywhere he
waited patiently till evening services be-
gan, and concluded he would go out to
the large shed where the people had as
sembled for meeting, thinking perhaps
he might meet his friend On going out,
what was his astonishment to find the
gallant Governor, the hero of the shoot
ing match, in front Of the altar, sur
rounded by ministers and class leaders,
with hymn book in his hand, head
thrown back, singing as loud as his lungs
would permit, ,tr6ii

From that moment, said the Judge,

and his dog appeared at the entrance,
"you must leave him behind if you 20

"stay about here, Prince, till L come
back l"-and he Joined the crowd within
By-and-by the young man wished to refer
10 his watch, when behold the chain had
been snapped in two, and the valuable
time-peace was gone. He considered
the case moment and then a sudden
thought flashed through his mind. so
stepping out he whispered to the porter,
gaining permission to take his dog in for
a minute or two. Look here, Prince,
said he, "knowing dog, my watch is
stolen" and he showed him his empty
pocket and the cut chain f" DO you

the thief. You find it, my good doggie,
and III get you famous treat. You
understand, do you:
Prince wagged his head and tail, and
gave his master wonderful knowing
look, and then the two stole quietly into
the place again. Quietly this dumb de-
tective glided around among the people,
smelling away at this ones coat and
that ones chain until at last he set his
teeth firmly into the coat-skirt of gen-
teel looking man. and could not be sha-
ken off. The young man quietly made
known the case to the bystanders, who
gathered around him and had the thief 5
pockets duly searched. Six other
watches we're found upon him, which he
had gathered up in the course OF the
morning, and which their rightiul own
ers were very glad to get their hands on
again.

cared for, and the thief was given IN
