Manhood viudicnted.

There lives in one of the pretty little
streets of this town, Il handsome little
widow, who shall be nameless in this
story, though exploits similar to those
recently enacted by her have given
many a woman an extensive newspaper
reputation. She was courted by gen
tleman livisg in the same neigbborhoodi
a tradesman well to do in the world
bnt for some unknown reason a marriage
between them did not follow.
The gentleman, in due time, married
another lady, and TO this day, though
three long years have elapsed, the re-
suit of that marriage has been fruitless
Each did not hold the other blameless
Not quite year ago, the lady visited
some friends in another city, remaining
away from home about two weeks. The
sparkling, vivaciOus widow living in
the vicinity, and so we'll acquainted
with the family, you know, was selec
ed to louk into the house occasionally
and see that everything was kept IL
order. She did SO. The result of bel
attention to her neighbor's household
affairs was not, as in her neighbor'
father, and, remarkable as il may aP
pear, happy father.
When his wife upbraided him for ne
glect, cruelty, and called him brute
he smiled kindly at her tears, and
pleaded guilty TO a portion of the in
dictment only, alleging that he was Bo'
inclined to run after strange gods, bat
that he simply wanted to demonstrate
beyond the shadow Of a doubt that il
was possible fer him to vindicate man
hood. She dried up her tears, thought
the matter over, and finally admitted
what she had hitherto denied-that il
,ras her fault-and that she would free
" forgive him, and adopt the child a
her own, if he would never attempt 4
second vindication. And she will keey
her word.-ClerelGad Plaiadealer.

A Dead Mau Before nm Arkansas
Court

An Arkansas correspondent of the
New Orleans Picdyune tells the follow
ing story of the manner in which JUS
tice is meted out to men in that region {:
Some years ago a man without fam
ily or relations lived in county in this
Statr, and was possessed of an estate
worth $4,000. He went to New Orleans
and was absent for years without being
heard from. The Probate Judge granted
administration upon his estate, wound
it up, aud discharged the administra-
tor. The man at length returned; he
had been to Mexico. He applied TO the
Judge for his property, when in open
Court the following dialogue took
place:
Dead man-If your Honor please,
want my effects returned to me, as you
see am not dead yet.
The CouIt-I know; that is, l, as a
man know that you are alive and in
Court; but as Court, know that you
are dead for the records of the Courts
say so, and against their verify there is
no averment. So says Lord Coke aad a
good many books l never read.
Dead man-But want my property,
and it's no matter to me whether your
records lie or not. l ain alive, have not
transferred my property, and to deprive
me of it without my consent is without
all law.
The Court-If you insinuate that
this Court lies, the Court will send you
to Jail.
Dead man Send dead man to Jail
The Ceurt--Mr. Sheriff, take the sp-
partition out. = -
Sheriff BE thou ghost or goblin
damned, Pll speak to thee. Come on;
let's 60 take drink.
The Judge stuck to it that, so far as
his Court was concerned, be was dead,
and he should stay dead. The poor fel.
low went into chancery and spent all
he made in Mexico.

Call for Proof.

The Sherman (Texas) Courier calls
upon more than dozen citizens OF he
publican politics, indorsers of the recon-
struction acts-old citizens OF Grayson
county, whose property and interests
are thereto come out and say how
much truth there is in the statement
sent forth recently, and published all
over the North, to the effect that "des-
peradoes had killed eight or nine SOL
diers, eleven white Unionists, and
freedmen without number'-that the
life and property of Union men are un-
safe-that Republican are turned out OF
churches, their children driven fron the
schools, etc.
The Courier sars:
Now, gentleman, we say you-the
substantial citizens of Grayson county,
of all conditions and politics-are inter
ested in having statement published
that will reflect truth. If it is danger
ous for Union men to live here, then
you owe it to the cause of humanity to
caution them against coming. If it is
otherwise, then remove the error and
| let us prosper together. We ask you tO
| do this, because a statement from all OF
one sf you is worth any amount we
might write on the subject. You can
be heard-your statement cannot be
contradicted-it shall be received by
us as true. We know you we'll enough
to know that you will make a true
statement. We want it to come; nc
matter how, let it come. These dana.
ging reports have long been circulated.
You have never said yea nor nay. We
ask you now to speak, and to the

and make them pay it in gold
and silver coin. In this event we hold
that nothing could save the country
from immediate and overwhelming
bankruptcy, to be followed, as matter
Of course, by involuntary repudiation,
not only of this so-called Federal debt,
but of all public and most private debts
of this entire cSuRtry. This has been
the view we have taken of this matter
from the first, as we have had frequent
occasions to state through the columns
of this paper.

From the indianapolis Mirror. J

At Fort Wayne they have haunted
house, or rather haunted chamber.
The house is an elegant and comforta-
BILE one, recently built, and in fash
ionable quarter; but, owing to certain
curious and irregular performances,
complicated with STRANGE and diaboli-
cal noises at unreasonable hours, one
particular room has been found unten-
able. The family have tried it, and
have been glad to resign 1T to
the MYSTERIOUS agencies which Danish
sleep. and make night passed in 1t
uncomfortable, if not impossible.
Strangers, ghost-proof and cavillers at
the supernatural, have begged permis-
sion to sleep in it, and before midnight
have fed bowling with terror. A lady
of Indianapolis, connected with the
family-Miss S. w. -, strong
minded, practical woman, of more than
masculine ecourage-asked permission to
occupy the room, and gives the follow
ing as her experience: The room was
COW, we'll furnished and comfortable.
She retired, not even deigning to think
of the stories which had been told her,
and Contemptuously scouting them as
nursery tales to frighten children. Just
as her eyeids began to grow heavy, and
while the angel of sleep was flaming
her cheek with his drowsy pinions, she
felt the bed covering sliding off the bed.
Thinking that it was the weight OF the
overhanging quilts, she attempted to
draw them up, but met with resistance.
Looking down, she saw what appeared
to be large Newfoundland dog, angri-
ly tueging at the coverings. With one
spring she landed in the middle OF the
floor, ran to the window opening on the
street, raised it, and screamed with all
her might. The family came to her as
sistance. In the meantime the dog had
disappeared, but the bed-clothing was
found stacked up in the far corner of
the room. 1t is needless to say that she
changed her quarters.
Her brother. Mr.. r. W. -, since
dead, next tried it. He saw no dog, but
soon found something tugging at his
Quilts. He resisted with all his strength,
but the clothing was torn from his
grasp and thrown across the room.
EWell," said he coolly, "if you want the
covering worse than l do, you can have
it," And he left the room and asked to
be quartered elsewhere, admitting that
it wasn't pleasant sleeping Gin there"
We do not pretend to explain these
facts. But at least one citizen of this
place, and numerous residents of Fort
WayRe, will corroborate them.

Killing IA observation-disclosures Con
duct of the Convict's Wife,

Yesterday Sheriff w. II. Morris and
W. f. Corley, of this city, returned
from a cruise after c. l.. Merriman, the
man who murdered in cold blood Mr..
w. A. Glosson, in this city, during the
last summer. 1t seems that the sheriff
bad been using.his abilities as detect
i've in the effort TO work up the case
successfully, and that about one week
ago he obtained satisfactory informa-
tion as to Merriman's place cf conceal
ment. The sheriff took with him Mr..
Corley only, proceeded cautiously to
the northwest corner of Hood county,
where, after five consecutive nights
trial, they found their man, and by
good arrangementsuccce in etfecting
his capture.
When arrested, and all hope was lost
Of escape, Merriman appealed to his
captors to blow his brains out on the
spot; that he had sworn never to return
to Waco a prisoner. The Sheriff and
guard placed the prisoner in wagon
with his heroic wife, and the party
moved toward the town of Meridian,
Bosdue county, and had proceeded to
within three miles of said town, at a
point of the road close to a thicket,
when suddenly Merriman sprans out
from the wagon, his hands having been
united by his wife, and made for the
brush. When be left the wagon the lit
tie wife, though but q frail creature,
took hold violently of the driver of the
wagon and placed him hors du combat
but, poor woman, her faithful as
sistance was of no avail, for
Sheriff Norris and two guards were
close behind. The order to halt was
not obeyed by the fugitive; and several
shots were fred at him, none of which
are known to have taken effect. He
was pursued into the thicket, shots
firing 10 rapid succession. Soon the
firing ceased, and the officers of the law
returned to the wagon and reported to
the distressed wife that "her husband
had escaped-the gallows." Merrlman
was a blood. thirsty man, and bad he
lived would doubtless have carried in
20 execution his determination-as vol.
