A considerable sum of money. He OBJ

foil upon a strange yet ingenious plan

boldly went forward, hat in hand, n
asked aims. This was answered with a
polite "Go away l have nothing to
give you" The "poor" nun, however,
persisted in his entreatics, and would
not 70 until he had got assistance for
his Vanishing wife and children. The
lady at last condescended but to her
dismay, found that tho wherewitl was
gone. The merchant, now satisfied that
he was correct, with q bow returned the
purse, with the advice that In the future
she would be more generous to tho dis
tressed.

ENGLISH PREJUDICE. = The English
have a desp-seated repugnance to Ire
land. Referring to it, the London Tines
remarks:
The English are adventurous enough.
They will suddenly transport themselves and
their families and live under eternal SHOWS
or eternal suns, in unknown solitudes, OF
among savages, robbers, or civilized beings
still more hateful. But to Ireland they will
not 90. They will not buy land and settle
there. They will hardly make a tour there.
They will go a thousand miles for scenery,
by no means finer than that Of the western
and southern coast Of Ireland. They will
buy estates in England to pay one and a hall
per cent. but not in ireland to pay Ave or ak
per cent. Nor Is Il the bullet or the bludgeon,
the tenant or the priest they are the most
afraid Of. It is a state OF society without the
bond Of social confidence and national union
that they recoil from.

When q good man, an industrious and
provident citizen and a generous philan-
thropist dies n victim to causeless vio-
lence in a land far removed from
friends, relatives and the scene Of his
youth and carly manhood, it would
seem that then, if ever, the dictates Of
common decency would suggest and
command the staid and serious de-
meanor of those amongst whom be met
his sad and uutimcly fate. Such a man
as we have described was John Stead,
who died in Virginia on tho day before
yesterday. He had ever deported him
self as q good citizen, an INDUSTRIOUS
frugal and thrifty member Of COM
munity, a hospitable host and a kind
and generous ~neighbor. He was shot
by an assassin and no cause can DO
given or imagined for the base deed.
In the far.of home from which he wan
dered in honorable search Of a conpe'
tency no had o wife, children and many
friends. In the hearts Of these his
death will probably leave an aching
void which this world can never fill.
With the tidings of his death they will
naturally look to the local press of the
city where he ended his earthly journey
for some recognition of his worth and
some expressions Of coincidence and
commiseration calculated to soothe the
grief that tears their hearts. Ac-
tuated by q desire to ascertain how Mr..
Stead was regarded where he finished
the journey Of life, they use every ex-
ertion to procure u copy of some paper
published in the vicinity, and finally,
let US suppose, succeed in obtaining a
copy Of q Virginia contemporary. Imag-

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. - From
the Oakland News of the 22d we clip
the following:
About two weeks ago Thomas Lawrence, 4
partner Of Captain Caddy in a contract for
doing certain railroad work in the southern
part Of the county, disappeared under very
peculiar circumstances. He had taken with
him about $3.50, and left his residence to pay
off his workmen. he has never been heard
from since. He did not abseond with the
funds, for he LEFT behind him several thou
sand dollars, the joint property Of himself
and his partner. His purse was found sub
sequently, badly bruised, as II it had fallen
into some rocky rayine. Mr.. Lawrence must
have been robbed aud murdered, or else pre-
cipitated down some declivity and killed.
The search that has been made for his bsdy
has thus far been unsuccessful.
