we witnessed
A photograph of John Schafer, the
Parkersburg murderer, yesterday. Judg-
ing from his appearance, as exhibited
in the picture, we would think him far
from being possessed of the fendish ma
ture which has characterized him in tho
bloody deeds he has committed. He
wrote letter to German in this city,
with whom he ate dinner on the Sum
day following the murder of Ulrich,
which was dated the ninth of July,
stating that he had read an account
of. Ulrich's murder in q Wheeling
paper and that Ulrich was an intimate
friend of his and that he desired letter
of information giving him the particu-
lars in relation to the horrible deed, at
the same time expressing great sorrow
for the deceased. We saw letter that
was written bya German from Parkers-
burg and received in this city day be-
fore yesterday, which states that John
Scatter has commenced to write full
confession of his deeds, and that he gives
his real name as Jacob Eiserley. The
letter also states that Schaffer was a
pail bearer at tue funeral of Tsutor.

A Specimen OF Military Despotism

Near the southern centre of the State
of Arkansas lived, few months ago, q
young man and his still younger sister,
with a young and accomplished wife,
whom he had taken to his home and
fireside. Everything seemed bright and
beautiful before them. The young
mans name was Mitchell. In August
last Mitchell being absent, as also was
his sister at n neighboring house-a
worthless scoundrel came to their house,
whose advances the young lady had
rather scornfully repulsed, and hired q
negro man to send 4 negro boy TO tell
Miss Mitchell that lady had called
to see her, and desired her to re-
turn home. After closely question
ing the boy the young lady was
convinced that he was telling her
a lie, and did not return. In the even
ing the brother returned, and having
learned the facts as above stated, and
provoked at the impudence of the negro
who had accepteda bribe to send lie
to his young sister, lashed him well with
n britle-re - ~ The negro
went to Duvall's Bluff and reported to
one McCulloch, agent of the Freedmen's
Bureau, who referred the matter to
General Smith, at Little Rock. Smith
at once ordered the arrest of young
Mitchell, who was incarcerated in the
Arkansas penitentiary, in dark cell,
four by eight feet in size, where
he lay for near four months
awaiting trial by military commits;
sion. Seeing no disposition on the part of
the military despots to give him even
the form of trial, young MitchelPs
counsel prepared, about the Goth of oc.
tober, an application to the Judge of
the District Court of the United States
for the Northern District of Arkansas
for writ of hdbeds corpus, but before il
could be presented, Mitchell, an honest
aud respectable citizen of Arkansas,
died in his cell, the murdered victim OF
a brutal military despotism-aye, bru-
tal-far more than any act that ever dis
graced the annals of any other govern
ment under the sun.-BIdck Rrcr (Ark.)

A Widow CuriousIy swindIed.

The st. Paul, Mimi, Press tells long
story of the way in which Messrs. b. and
c., two young swindlers, got possession
of the Jewels of young widow from
New Orleans, who was visiting Mime
sofa. B. first made her acquaintance,
and, boarding at the same hotel, be-
came intimate with her. c. next came,
and in BIS presence insulted her. b.
showed much virtusus indignation, and
c. was turned out of the house. She
was soon informed that C.. had threat
ened to murder b. and was spreading
slanderous stories about herself and b.,
but might be bribed to silence. b. was
willing to pay hush money, but his
funds were not at hand. The lady ac-
cordingly lent him two diamond rings,
valued at S3500, which he said he had
pawned for $1,000 until his money arriv-
ed and he would redeem them. B. gave
her as security his note for $4,000.
The rings, however were never
pawnsd, but were kept by B. and c.,
who were good friends, when not in the
widows sight. Soon c. needed to be
bribed again. She gave c. diamond
pin, valued at $1,000, which be pawned
for 800; also pair of diamond earrings,
which were pawned for like amount.
On Christmas, she decided to go to Mil
waukee, when B., who accompanied
her to the cars, gave her check for
$50, 900, with the condition that this Sc
curity and his first note should be le-
turned to him upon the restoration of
the diamonds. Up to this time she had
not suspected BIS honesty, but on her
Journey she began to have doubts. She
telegraphed to Boston, BIS residence, as
soon as she arrived at Milwaukee, and
found that instead Of being rich, he was
worth nething. She then had her two
robbers arrested, and secured all her
jewlery except the rings Her friends
in the South sent her money to redeem
the articles pawned. Finally, the ras-
Gals, to get free from arrest, restored
her rings, and the widow left for her
Southern home.

Extraordinary Freak Of Nature-A
Mot Strange Chapter.
stFrom the La Crosse Democrat

A correspondent writes us from
Waterloo, Iowa, asking if we know Of
one Edgar Burnham, and of his history.
We do. And as it is strange, true
one, knowH to hundreds, we give it in
the Democrat as it is, that we may cor.
rect some errors those who speak of him
have fallen Y into.a Eight years since,
when we were engaged as city editor OF
a Milwaukee paper, there lived in this
State an editor named Powell, now con-
nected with Chicago paper, we think.
He is, unless he has quit it lately.
In 1862 Powell was married to. Miss
Ellen Barnham, of Brodhead, Wis, af-
Ter a courtship of some months. Miss
Burnham's parents were old residents
of Brodhead, and of high respectability.
The daughter taught music, had large
number of pupils, and was very attrac-
tive. Powell lived witt" her rs hus-
band two years, she being all that time
a good wife in all respects, presenting
him with but one child. At the expira-
tion of two years, when about twenty
one years of age, Mrs. PowelPs voice
changed, she grew light whiskers, and
gradually changed rharr SEX developing
into man, in all respects, as If nature,
anxious for freak, had turned n por-
tion of herself wrong side out.
The husband and wife separated when
the wife became a man, and Mrs. Ellen
Powell took the name of Edgar Burn
ham, idonned male attire, sought and
obtained employment as clerk in
Chicago, and lived u single young man
for one year.
During this time he fell in love with
a niece of Senator Morgan, of New York,
but did not marry her, for reasons not
pertinent to this article. But about the
end OF the year he did marry, a yonng
lady Of Brodhead, Wis, Miss Gerta
Everett, who was a music pupil of his
when he was Miss Ellen Burnham,
over three years previous to the mar
riage. This second marriage was about
two years ago. Soon after this marriage
Edgar Burr,ham and wife removed to
Waterloo, Iowa, where they now reside,
or did not long since.
The former girl is now a man. the
former wife is now a husband, the for
mer mother is now father, tie former
young lady teacher of a young lady is
new that young lady's husband! Truth
is indeed stranger, than fiction. and the
above simple statement of the facts bor
ders so much upon the marvellous we
could not believe it did we not person
ally know nearly all the parties
Any one can be convinced, by writing
to the parties in either of the places we
have named, of the full and entire truth
of this most wonderful transformation.
which puzzles not only the medical but
the entire scientific world, and which
fact appears now for the first time in
print, though the particulars have long
been known to us and to many other
newspaper men and prominent citizens
.of this State, as to nearly all the cfti-
zens of Bodhead, where the parties so
long resided .F.g go

SANDWICH ISLANDS.
Earthquakes and Eruption of Land and
Marine Volcanoes.
One Hundred Lives Lost and Great De-
structiOn Of Property.

Sandwich Island advices report a terrible
volcanic eruption at MannoieO. Immune
rable earthquakes were felt, and the earth
opened in many places. The tidal wave
rose sixty feet high, sweeping away human
beings, houses and everything movable A
terrible shock Frustrated a church and seve
raj houses, killing many In all, about one
hundred lives were lost be- ides thousands
OF horses and cattle
The volcanic craters Yomited fire and lava,
and river Of red hot lava, FIVE or six miles
long, flowed to the sea at the rate of ten
miles an hour, destroying everything before
it, and forming an island in the sea. A new
crater, two miles wide, throws rocks and
streams of fire a thousand feet high, and
from which huge streams of lava roll to the
sea. The illumination extends, at night, a
distance of fifty miles One of the streams
has pushed out into the sea, one mile from
the shore. Three miles from the shore a
conical island suddenly arose from the sea,
emitting dense column Of steam and smoke,
while the KOnO packet MAS passing, spatter-
ing mud on the vessel.
The greatest shock occurred April I'd.
Prior to the eruption, there was a great
shower of ashes and pumice. During the
great shock the swaying motion of the earth
was dreadful No person could stand In
the midst of the tremendous shock and
eruption, red earth poured down the noun
tains, rushing across the plains three miles
in three minutes, and then ceased Then
came the great tidal wave, and then the
streams of lava The villages on shore
were all destroyed by this wave. The earth
opened under the sea, and redeemed the
water The earth eruption swallowed thirty
persons, and the sea many more. Great
suffering and terror prevailed in the whole
region affected. A slOOp, the Live Yankee,
had been dispatched with provisions to res
cue and relieve
The earthquake shocks extended to all the
Islands of the Hawaiian group, but no dam
age was done except around Mound Leo,
numerous land slides, accompanied by other
phenomena, destroy life and property The
lava was thrown a thousand feet over the
tops Of trees and landed in the valley be-
low. The gases that issued afterwards de-
strOyed vegetable and animal life. Bottom
less assures opened In the mountain sides
One lava stream flowed under ground,
breaking out in four jets, three miles from
the sea, throwing lava and stones 300 feet
high.
The new island thrown up is 400 feet high,
and is now Joined to the main land by
stream Of lava mile wide. 4 stream of
water has burst from the mountain where
the earth eruption occurred. The base Of
the volcano about 800 miles in circumfer-
ence is Isolated. At least half million
dollars worth of property was destroyed.
The King of the Sandwich Islands had
issued a proclamation for the relief Of the
sufferers
Many visitors had gone from Honolulu,
and will 90 from San Francisco. The worst
is thought to be over, but the lava flow CON
tinues-a grand spectacle.

CHAM GANG.-What say our city fathers

there will be coolies of material and
