The Ashburn Murder Trial.

The National blteltigencer publishes the
confession, under oath, of William H. Reed,
one of the Government detectives employed to
work up this case. This confession details all
the circumstances connected with his appoint
ment and all the cruelties and villanes perpe-
trated upon the arrested parties. 1t connects
Generals Howard and Meade with this case
and makes them responsible for the corruption
and atrocity of which their agents were guilty.
He SAYS, in conclusion, that the chiefdetective,
one II. C. Whitley, frequently remarked to
him, "hat this ,chole case lras a political more,
and the conriction Of the prisoners trould be
a big thing" This revival by the Radicals of
the horrors of the Spanish 1nduisitiohJ In order
to make political capital, is one of the tilost
atrocious Of their many iniquities. RirhH6hd

How to Danish Bedbugs.

A miner, stopping at one OF the boarding
and lodging houses in Virginia City, was trou-
bcd good deal by bedbugs and resolved to
start the landlady after them. She contended
that there were no bugs in the house-she had
never seen one in her roomi nor felt onei but
that did no. satisfy our lodger, as he didn't oc-
cupy the same room, and vas positive there
was at least quart of bugs in close pfoHimity
to his bed. He procured a small bottle and
began to catch and bottle bedbugs. He per-
severed until he had caught and corked up
several dozen of the pestiferous insects; and,
after keeping the poor little birds f" cooped
up until they were nearly starved, slipped into
the landladys room one evening and deposited
the contents Of the bottle under the old wo-
mans pillow. 1t is unnecessary to say that
she made it mighty hot " forbcdbuss around
that house the next day. The miner says he
never saw such relentless war waged against
bedbugs before.

Hope.

Though thick darkness glooms before US,
And thousand tempests blend,.y
Homes bright rainbow bending o'es us,
Tells us that the storm will end.
Cheating life Of half its sorrows,
Chasing half its ills away.
With the solace that tomorrow,
Will be brighter than to-day.
Radiant star shine on forever,
In the futures distant skies,
Further down life's rapid river,
Where the land ofpromisc Lies.
Thro' those arts as false and fleeVrg,
As the phantoms OF the glen.
Still pursued yet still retreating,
Cheating all the race Of men.
Yet not one Of them would barter,
That celestial smile of thine,
For the glory giving charter,
OF Golconda's richest mine.

Remarkable Discovery.

Our friend, John NJ. Armstrong, Esq, of
Moundsviie, has discovered upon a piece of
ground belonging to him In that place, a pecu-
liar variety of clay, which actual trial has
proved to be an excellent Substitute for paint
stuff. When touched it crumblts rs fine as
-four, has no grit, needs little or no grinding
and when mixed with oil makes beautiful
paint of dark brown color. 1t sets well,
wears well, and with proper mixing will yield
any tinge desired This clay is found about one
foot below the earth's surface and lies in two
strata, one of which is from eighteen inches to
two feet in thickness. In reaching it heavy
bcdofinesandis passed. Experiencedpainters
have informed us that this material must certain
ly become very valuable, as in their judgment it
has all the qualities necessary for superior
paint, and can readily be adapted either to
plain or ornamental work. Wheeling Register.
