CHAPTER NJ.
A VISIT TO THE KING.

"Thou cans+t visit every cell in the
tower since It's the wish Of the king; hut
will find only young noble. who was
brought tmther a week or two since
charged with some unknown but terrible
crime! Come, follow my steps, and thou
shalt sec every vault, when my words will
be quickly proven to thee" replied the
jailer, as he closed the heavy, outer door
and signi6ed his readiness to conduct them
en'their search. i.
The four who had come followed the
jailer, throughthe narrow galleries bound
ed on either side by the deep cell-like
apartments devoted to the unfortunate
persons whose misdeeds had found them
out sufficiently to meet their punishment,
within these walls. Soon they arrived al
the cell allotted the prisoner, and then the
jailer took key from the heavy bunch
which he carried at his girdlc, applied it
to the look, and then the iron door swung
back.
Tho light which the jailcr carried in bis
hand threw faint glimmcr about, anl by
its rays all perceived the form of a young
and lovely girl reclining upon the hard
iron bed at one end of the cell She ap-
pcared to be in sweet slumber and for
brief moment the intruGcrs paused and
sazcd upon the fair, girlish face framed
with the loosened folds of her golden hair,
and none uttered word.
But the light, and perhaps the presence
Of the men reused the maid, aud she
opened her eyes and gazed for a brief
space in confused thought around. Then
she appeared to realize where she was, and
sprang up quickly, crying gu. in an az
frighted tone, as she clasped her hands in
alarm:
II am in prison then, and you have all
come rs my exccusioners. But. 4 bcseech
you, noble sirs, not to punish me, for l
hsye committed no deep crime !" But
this mood soon changed to one of joy and
happiness for the Duke dc Bridgenor,h,
y lose features she had not before dis,in.
ruisiied in the obscurity Of the cell, now
said, as he raised her with tender
touch:
owe arc no cxecutioners, Margery I;
but have come to release thee from this
cell and take thee home again"
The girl uttered cry ofjoy, as she
recogniz d his voice and features, and ex-
claimed in thankful tone
"Ah! I knew thou would,'t not allow
me to remain long hero, most noble duke;
and now thou hast come thus quickly to
release me ~
The jsiler looked on this strange, and to
him inromprehensiblo scene, with eyes
shich showed his wonderment. But the
Duke de Bridgenor.h briefly explained the
mystery saying:
I" Look upon nc, my worthy jailcr,
and perceive your original prisoner, who,
last night effected his escape by means of
;tiiis young maid, who visited mo and
gave the her cloak and veil as a disguise
whereby to escape She remained in my
stead; and | who was confined for no
crime, but by tho .villany Of enemies, am
now here to release her. She will depart
with US )" and the jaier still half.amazed
shook his head in acquiesenec, and led the
way from the cell to the outer door for
them to depart.
Immediately all were upon their way to
tho Bears Head Inn, where the officers
as well as DIargery, aud the dake had
work to perform.

A BRIGHT yYED KENTuCKIAN AND A MILLION DOL

The Louisville Courier.Journsl Of the Soth ult.
says:
DR.. Samuel E. Mckinley, son of Judge MeKin-
ley, formerly Judge OF the Supreme Court of the
United states and United States Judge of this cir
cult, was residing and practising his profession at
New Orleans when that city was captured by the
federal army. He was retained as surgeon for the
Confederate sick, and was afterwards retained in
the United States service. The doctor married a
very wealthy heiress, Miss Morrison, of Louisi-
ana, by whom he has two children. one boy
named james, who is now with him in st. Louis, and
the other little girl named E. j. Lyon Mckinley,
twelve years of sge. His wife dying during the
infancy of the girl, the doctor, in 1884, moved to
New Albany, Indiana, taking with him his two
children. About year ago last winter he moved
TO this city, where he remained till some time In
1867, and, becoming DESTROYS of going back to
New Orleans to look after his properly, left his
little daughter at the Ursuline Academy. Catho
lie female school in this city, for education, send
ing her from time to time money to pay her ex-
peDses.
Before or about the time of vacation. the doc.
tor. having moved and established himself 10 st.
Louis requested Judge Taylor to send by Adams
Express his little daughter to him, the express
company agreeing to undertake the care and
custody of the child. When Judge Taylor applied
for the child the superior OF the academy objected
TO letting her 60 till her tuition should be fully
pdlo. Inc uOClcI, on ltdIniuB ILLS, ucOiaIcu NC
had sent by mail the full amount, aud then came
for her himself. His counsel advising him that
the academy could not retain a lien on the child
for their money. he sued out writ OF habeds
corpus before his honor. Judge Bruce. The
mother superior of the academy, answering the
writ, stated that the girl was named Lizzie Brown
that she was not the doctors daughter; that she
was fifteen years of age. and that the doctor was
| drunken and unfit TO control the child.
! This aDswe r was sdjudged insufficient and the
respondent was required TO state the time and the
means by which respondent obtained possession
of the child that mere allegation that the doc
tor was not her father was no ground for respond
| emit TO retain. Another response has been pre-
pared by the mother superior. to show that the
child is not the daughter Of DR.. Mckinley, and
that he is an unfit person to take care OF her. 1t
| is alleged that the girl breads even to hear the
name of DR.. Mckinley, and that be was at one
time indicted in Floyd county, Indiana, for NAL
treating her. The doctor is said to be in st. Louis
at this time. In the city court yesterday Com
monwealth's Attorney Reason asked for rule
compelling DR.. Mckinley to show cause why the
girl should not be bound out, and this matter will
| come I'D to-day before Judge Craig. The amount
to which the little girl is heiress is over million
| dollars.

AGAssIz AND THE GLAcIERs.-Prof. Agassiz
said some interesting things concerning his pet
glacial theory ct the Amherst agricultural meet
ing, last week. he declared that all the materials
on which agricultural processes depend are de-
composed rocks, not so much rocks that underlie
the soil, but those on the surface and brought
from considerable distances and ground TO powder
by the rasp of the glacier. Ice, all over the con-
tinept. is the agent that has ground out more soil
than all other agencies tog ether. The penetration
Of water into rocks, frost, running water and
baking suns have done something, but the glacier
more. In former age the whole United States
was covered with ice several thousand feet thick,
and this ice, moving from north to south by the
attraction OF tropical warmth, or pressing weight
of ice and snow behind, ground the rocks over
which II passed into the paste we call SOIL. these
masses Of ice can be tracked ss surely as game is
trscked by the hunter. He had made study OF
them in this country as far south as Alsbams, but
had observed the same phenomenon particularly
in Italy, where, among the Alps, glaciers are
now in progress. The stones and rocks ground
and polished By the glaciers can easily be dis
tjnruished from those scratched by running water.
The Angular powders found in meadows and the
terraces on our rivers not now reached By wssst,
can be accounted for only in this way. BE urgef :

The Natchitoches Times of the Goth ult., says
On Monday last, Brig. Gen. N. b. Mclaughlin,
commanding U. s.. calvalry in this vicinity, went
over into VIM parish, accompanied BY an orderly
connected with the murder of Hal Frazier and
another colored man, an account Of which was
given in our columns last week. While going
along the road in the vicinity of the murder be
accidently met VIM. Kimbal, one Of the two
brothers charged with the unprovoked murder Of
q colored man at Gunney's ferry in 1866. On see
ing Gen. Mclaughlin, Kmball fed and was pur-
sued by the general. both being on horseback.
After being pursued for short time, Kimball was
thrown from his horse while attempting to cross
creek bottom or morass. He rose up immedi-
ately, and. protected by his horse, began to fire
at Gen. Mclaughlin, at The same time demanding
his surrender. The general retured his shots, and
after the third or fourth round. wounded Kmball
in the face. Gen. Mclaughlin escaped unhurt
but bis horse was shot in the neck. Kimball then
cried out that he would surrender; but when
Gen. Mclaughlin approached him, he jumped on
bis horse and again took TO fight. he was again
pursued; and as be fed fred again at his pur-
suer, but without effect. Gen. Mclaughlin re-
turned the fire and shot Kmball, who died in
stsntly.
Young Kimball was in company with his father
when first seen. The orderly sergeant was left
with the father, and young kimball was pursued
by Gen. McLaughlen alone. Old Mr.. KimDa was
not molested, nor did he take any part in the
sistance offered to the authority of the general
though we are informed that after the body Of
Kimball was carried home his family ani friends
made some warlike demonstrations, which, how.
| ever did not result in an attack. Being alone,
Gen. McLsughlen very pTudenty retired and re.
turned TO this parish.
These are the circumstances as related to us.
We do not vouch for their absolute accuracy, but
they are believed TO be in the main correct. As
| Gen. McLaughlen has been arrested, and the mat
ter viii undergo judicial investigation before
Judge Osborn on Tuesday next, We forbear COM
ment.
1t is hardly necessary for Us, in this community,
to pay a deserved tribute TO Gen. McLaughlen
His conduct in this affair proves that ne adds per-
sonal courage 10 his many estimabe qualities q
gentleman and soldier. We regret TO learn that
there is probability Of his being ordered away
from this parish.

The STATE SEMINARY. The citizens OF New
Orleans do not seem to know that we have in this
State an institution that is as capable Of giving
our youth an academic education as any other
similar one in the world. At Alexandria is located
a school, supported by the State, taught by
Louisiana men, filed by Louisiana boys, and yet
to this institution the city Of New Orleans sends
but seven students. Now, this is not as it should
be. While we have every facility in our own
stste, our boys should not be sent away to other
States TO obtain their education. When they want
a collegiate training, send them to the great scho-
lastc institutions OF the land, but when they only
need that which we ourselves can give them, let
us send them to school that is emphatcally our
own.
