LOCAL MATTERS.

CALLAHAN DISCHARGED FROM CUSTODY
The following communication from military
headquarters will explain itself:
"HEADeUAREERs FIRST MILITARY DISTRICT,
e RICHMOND, VA, August IL, 1852
"Breuet Mqjor Paul r. Hansbrick, United
States 1rmy, Military Commissioner
Sixteenth Dirision Virginia, Richmond,
Va:
"Sir,-I am instructed by the command
ing General to say that your report in the
case of Denis Callahan, charged with the
murder of Joseph Kelly, is approved.
"From o review of the evidence taken
before the Military Commissioner it appears
that the accused, in the discharge Of his
duty as an officer Of police, arrested the de-
ceased (having first given notice of his in
tention so to do) with good reasons, and
while deceased was violently struggling,
having called on the excited and favoring
crowd for rescue, pistol-shot from one of
the crowd wounded policeman kennedy
who, up to that moment, had prevented
deceased from drawing his pistol. 1t
seems clear from the current of the evil
dence that not until that time, when one Of
the most powerful and dangerous men
in the community was free to use his
deadly weapon, as he Immediately after
wards did, and when, by aid of sympathi-
zers in the crowd, one policeman, who had
been engaged in the arrest of the deceased,
and trying to prevent him from committing
crime, had already been disabled, did the
accused fire his pistol, and, as probable,
though not distinctly proven, wounded the
deceased.
1t is considered that in doing this on the
occasion and under the circumstances
shown by the evidence he did no more than
his office warranted and his duty required,
and no reason is shown for his further
trial, and he will therefore be discharged
from custody.

Some of your committee have travelled
personally and alone, OF their own expense,
through the dcsolated cities and ha amlets Of
the South. We have talked with nren who
have seen all sides of the policies offered
by all, and what is their hope or their
trust ? Nothing has been done for them
which was promised. Not single thing
which the Government declared should be
has given the slightest relief from the ap-
prehension which constantly pursues them
Reduced to the last extremity, their re-
naming acres depart under that law of ne
cessity which has so long crushed them unto
the earth.
Think you, friends, there is no restitu-
ton? Is there nothing to fear when the
Government usurps the power, and when
the national finances are swayed by the
selfish tyrant who moves but for his own
pleasure? Is that republic ? and is it
right that the people are silent? Nay,
friends, all ages have produced their special
power at the right time to stand against
oppression.
Men have been ere this raised up to go
forth clothed in the might which truth
brings out of the gloom of despair, and we
will gather together in the great cities of
our great Union, and with the platform Of

power which would fcign ignorance of our

Too SHARP BY HALF.-An enterprising
business man Of this city runs two branches Of
trade, to wit: grocery and fish market
The grocery he runs himself the fish market
by deputy, and every night the latter makes
returns Of the proceeds of the day business to
the proprietor.
A day or two since the grocer found in his
fish market returns a counterfeit five dollar
bill. He didn't like to lose it, and he didn't
quite want to take the chances of trying to pass
it. So he called an old darkey who was hang
ing about the premises, and said to him:
Sam, here S five dollar bill that's little
doubtful. If you will take it and pass it, Ill
give you a dollar out of the change"
Every well, said Sam, and he took the
bill and went off. Later in the day he return
ed, having accomplished the feat, and handed
over four dollars in good money to the grocer.
That night the grocer, in counting over the
cash returns from his fish market, was more
surprised than delighted to find the identical
five in the pile.

Piatt's Experience

If there is any one thing more than another
your American born citizen ofthe age OF elgh- |
teen and upward feels himself competent to do, |
without note of preparation or any study, it is
to edit newspaper. Take the men as they
come, upon the streets, and offer each one the
position of editor, and nine out of ten will ex-
press a regret that his other engagements pre-
vent his acceptance Of your tempting offer.
The tenth man will probably suggest that, not
being able to read and write, probably he had
better not try. Poor fellow, he is SO ignorant
as not to know that few editors read, and a yet
more limited number can write.
The temptation rendered by the oracular
"we" of the editorial column draws many to the
chair who would shine at a work bench. And,
as if this were not enough, the money made by
the successful of to-day lures on unencumbcred
incompetents to try their hands at the same
business. And yet the failure does not come,
in majority of instances, as much from bad edit
ing as from bad publishing. For one coupe.
tent publisher we can find 6fty-yes, hundred
editors. There is no business that calls so
much for economy, tact, enterprise, industry.
Of all the successful journals know OF, l can
not count one that does not owe its success to
the publisher while, on the other hand, no end
of brilliant writer's have made failures by not
having the business man at the back.
My first lesson in this matter came while en-.
gagged with Hon. Edward Marshall in printing
the Volunteer, campaign paper, for warm
ly contested election, in Hamilton county. We
labored hard, and we thought with great sue
cess. We were witty, learned, argumentativ'
and amusing We were, however, chagrined t.
discover that our brilliancy seemed lost on Gin
cinnati. There was no echo-no excitement
no recognition of our efforts; we assailed Oul
f opponents with sarcasm, irony, Latin ant
down right abuse, that made the editorial corp
+ of the Volunteer look to their pistols Ye
there was no response. What was most re
markable so few seemed to have the paper
+ The paper was certainly not well distributed

vestigation, and proceeding to the printin

THE Coal REGIoNs.-The Anthracite Coal
regions, now so much talked of in connection
with the miners strikes, include about all of
this variety of coal in the United States It is
405 square miles, and 107 lie within the limits
of Luzerne County. The total amount raised
in the whole State down to 1860 was over
eighty three millions of tons, of which Luzerne
furnished twenty-nine millions. The first COM
pany for mining coal was in 1892 and it was
five years before they shipped to Philadelphia,
and this venture consisted of thirty tons. The
city authorities conseHted to take it, and tried
to burn it under the boilers of the engines at
the water works, but it put the fire out. The
balance was broken up and used in place Of
gravel over the sidewalks, and only the black
smiths near the mines used the coal for home
use. The happy discovery was made by a
tavern keeper, Jesse Fell, of Wilkesbarre, who
concluded a good draft was alone necessary to
make it burn, and he built CRATE of green
hickory saplings, placed it in a large Fireplace
in his bar-room, filled it with broken coal and
put dry wood under the CRATE and set it on fire
the flames spreading through the coal, it wa'
soon ignited, and before the wooden CRATE bar
were consumed the success was proved anC
hundreds of people focked to the old taverI
to witness the discovery.

WAY OF THE WoRLD.-Faith and friendship
are seldom truly tried but in extremes. To
find friends when we have no need of them,
and to want them when we have, are both alike
easy and common. In prosperity who will not
profess to love man in adversity how few
will show that they do it. When we are hap
py in the springtime of abundance and the ris-
ing food of plenty, then the world will be our
servants; then all will flock about us with ben
ded bodies and protesting tongues. But when
these pleasing waters begin to ebb, when ouI
wealth begins to leave us, when the waves OF
adversely begins to gather around us, then men
look upon us from distance, and those who
before bent the supple hinges of the knee be-
fore us, that thrift might follow fawning, look
coldly upon US. This is the way with the
world. Our fortunes and ourselves are SC
closely linked that we know not what is the
cause of the love we find. When these two
part company it will soon be apparent to which
affection will cling.

RICH WITHOUT MoNEY.-Many a man is
rich without money. Thousands of men with
nothing in their pockets, and thousands even
without, pocket are rich. A man born with
q sound constitution, good stomach, good
heart and good limbs, and pretty good head
piece is rich. Good bones are better than gold,
tough muscles, than silver, and nerves that
fash fire and energy in every function are bet
ter than houses and lands. 1t is better than a
landed estate to have had the right kind of a
father and mother. Good breeds and bad
and horses. Education may do much good to
check eviltendencies or to develop good ones,
but it is great thing to inherit the right pro-
portion of faculties TO begin with. The man is
rich who has good disposition--who is nat
urally kind, patient, cheerful, aud who has a
flavor of wit in his composition. The hardest
thing to get along with in this life is Q, mans
own self. A cross, selfish fellow. d timid, care
burdened man-these all are born deformed in
side. Their feet may not limp but theii
thoughts do.

THE SECRET OF SNUBBING.-Yo You go to call
on somebody, and are shown into drawing
room, where the lady of the house is sitting
with other visitors, engaged in conversation.
At your entrance chill seems to fall on the
company one person takes up a newspaper,
another photograph book, and so on, while
the lady of the house enters with you into a
discussion on the weather. She, perhaps, tries
TO make the others join in, but they only re
spond in monosyllables. You, of course, take
an early opportunity of going away, and hardly
have you left the room than you hear the buzz
of voices and sounds of mirth rising behind
you. Y ou feel decidedly 'snubbed, and why?
Because these people were all intimate with
each other, and, not knowing you, they deem
ed it suitable to behave as though there were
some good reason why they never could or
should know you, as if 10 secret bond to each
not to admit stranger into their fellowship.
Yet, ten to one, if you met any of them under
other circumstances they would be charmed to
make your acquaintance, and you would find
them very pleasant. 1t is simply that they
formed for the time being ''clique," and you
were an outsider. Clique" is indeed, in sober
earnest, the bane of society.

EVENING PARTIES.

The theory on which evening parties are con-
structed seems to imply the existence OF an
amazing faculty for amusement. We appar-
emily consider it sufficient to cram into room
twice as many people as it will comfortably hold
to make them all happy. We love each other
so much that we cant pack too tight. BY
squeezing number of apples into press we
can produce cider; and it is apparently be
lieved that in a sufficiently crowded mass Of
humanity, raised to the proper temperature,
there takes place kind of social fermentation,
possessing a certain spiritually intoxicating
influence. There is so much brOtherly love, L
suppose, permeating our constitutions, that it
only requires pressure to bring it out. And
therefore it may be from some peculiar moral
peIversiOn that in my case, and some others
which know, the fermentation somehow takes
place the wrong way; it all tuInS sour and
besides detesting the gentleman who stands on
my toes, and the other one whose bOny frame
work is imprinted in my back, L suffer from a
general misanthropy on such occasions, and
receive awful revelations OF the depths of hu-
man folly. That some persons are happy Is
perhaps probable; flirtations for example, may
take place at evening parties, as they certainly
do in shipwrecks, in hospitals, in the interior
of omnibuses, and other scenes OF almost uni
versal misery; but when l look round, with
! the conventional compromise between a scrOw
and simper, | fancy that | catch many an
swering symptoms of disgust on the faces Of
! fellow sufferers The true final cause of even
ing parties it may be urged is not pleasure
but business; they are frequented as the Stock
Exchange is frequented, with view to ulteriO
profit, rather than with any expectation of i'm
mediate returns in the shape of amusement
They are the markets at which we extend oul
social connections; and, perhaps, if Mr.. Mil
be- right, do little in the way OF slave-d dealing
That people should hypocritically continue t
express pleasure in attending them, if melan
choly, is only in accordance with our usua
practice in social grievances. We could no
get on without little lying and so long a
music is not add ed to the other torments pro
vided, / am ready to bear my part of the sui
fering with such stolid indifference as ca

A CANINE SAILoR.-A schooner hailing
from Clayton, now in port, has, to complete
It's complement, huge Newfoundland dog,
belonging to the Captain, which has sailed with
his master for the last six years. During a
storm, he mounts the cabin and exhibits the
utmost pleasure in watching the tumbling
white-caps as they dash around the vessel, and
when the men are making sail, the canine will
seize the rope and endeavor to bear hand.
He has twice been lost overheard, once of
Cleveland, when he swan two miles into port
remained stray dog for month, and was
found by the Captain on the deck when next
he visited that place. The crew have taught
him various tricks. one of which is to ring the
fog bell, which he will do with as much regu
larity as any man he will, also, with his paws
and teeth tie what is called the hard knot,
and will hold the painter of the small boat
alongside for an hour at time. -Dctroi

BURY Me DREssED-A SAD SToRY.--An
ME Bradley, a seamstress, was found in dying
condition from the effects of laudanum, in her
bedroom, at SO Congress ST., Detroit, Friday.
She had on the previous day bought revolver,
and had it loaded by the clerk, but before de-
livery the proprietor of the store had drawn
the bullets. The same day she procured a
quantity of laudanum, with which and the pis-
tol she retired at ten clock that night. Next
day at noon her room was opened, and she was
discovered as above stated. Efforts to save her
life were made, but she resisted violently, and,
at three o'clock she died. In the room was
found large piece of black Grape, to which
was pinned an envelope, on which were the
words, This is for my coffin and shroud, P" and
on slip of paper was written, do not cut
my hair off. Leave my boots on. Bury me
dressed. On still another paper, found pinned
to her dress, was the injunction, "Do not
touch these things until DR.. Chandler comes. >
A new mourning handkerchief and pair o.
black gloves, all new and evidently intended
for her own funeral use, were found upon hel
table, and her limbs were incased in pair O.
black stockings. A letter found in the room
contained the following: '30 to bury me is al
l have. Do what you like with the revolver.
By the side of this was Bible, opened at tn,

three months ago Miss Bradley had sued
drummer named Archie Glass, for seduc
ton, but the suit was compromised on Wed
, nesday before the suicide.
