Singular Adventures of an Indlanian

The New Albany Ind. Ledger relates
the adventures of Mr. Fred Burkley, who
mysteriously disappeared in that city a
week ago: LAS he passed the American
Foundry, corner of Water and Lower
Sixth streets, he met two men, but passed
on, not suspecting anything at that time
in the evening, it being about seven clock.
He bad passed only few rods, when the
rushed up behind him, throwing blanket
over his head, and bearing him down to
the ground. He was securely bound, his
hands being tied, and put into a wagon,
which was driven off radidly, but in what
direction, Burkley could not tell, as the
blanket was kept over his head and face
At late hour that night the wagon was
stopped, aad he was taken into house and
placed in a room having no windows. His
money was demanded, and he gave up ev.
ry cent hehad, $50, but his captors were
not satisfied, and proceeded to search his
person, but found nothing further.
Burnley was kept prisoner in this
room until last night Sunday J, and saw
no one save the two men who captured
him. There was no fire in the room dur
ing all that time, and as Il matter of course
he suffered considerably from the cold
He was regularly fed, but says he neither
saw nor heard a woman about the house.
He describes the house as a large one, but
could not tell anything about it, or where
it is situated.
When Burnley asked these men why he
was detained there, aud inquired what
they intended to do with him, they replied
that they did not know, but would tell him
when they had decided The idea was con-
veyed to his mind that murder was cons
templated, AID he pleaded with them to
spare his lite. Not until last night about
ten o'clock was he permitted to leave his
place Of confinement. At that hour he
was taken out as he was taken in, covered
with blanket, and placed in wagon.
From that time until near daylight this
morning the team was driven at brisk
pace, but from what direction he could not
tell. At about 4 O'Clock this morning he
was unbound, put out of the wagon, and
told by his captors to go home. On loking
about him Mr.. Burnley found himself a
short distance above the Jacksonville
Railroad bridge over Silver Greek. Before
releasing him, however, the kidnappers
eDjolned Mr.. Burkley never to mention
the affair to any one, or they would hun,
him up again. Burnley ventured to look
back as he crossed the railroad bridge, and
saw the men driving through the woods
going northward, in Clark county. Mr..
Burkley has no idea as to who the kidnap'
mars are ~

Rocky Mountain Scenery.

Some of the scenery on the route Of
the Pacific Railroad is very wild and
magnificent, and will no doubt lead
to great deal Of pleasure travel in
that atdireetiOn. An exeursiOnist writes
to the Chicago Tribune Il lively de-
scription of the approach to Salt Lake
through the Echo and Weber can
Ons, as follows:
But here we are at the head of Echo
canon, which is a great fissure torn
down through the mountain plateau,
by which we descended from the high
table lands into the valley of Salt
Lake. 1t has been created by the
Joint action of water and wind-rush-
ing, the one down the other up this
mOnstrous ravine, through conglOm-
crate material which is mainly soft in
substance. The declivity is half a
mile in a distance of forty or fifty
miles. Before reaching the head of
this ehasm we pass along parallel
with the Wahsatch mountain range
for q considerable distance, whose
north side tops are covered with snow
and whose altitude is three to four
thousand feet above the surrounding
plateau; but their great distance off
makes them look low to the eye. 1
shall attempt no description of Echo
and Weber canOns, as for sublimity
and grandeur they are beyond my
powers of delineation. Several of
our party who have travelled over
Europe declared that they saw moth
ing in the Alps or elsewhere which
those scenes; and it is
if there is any railroad
on the face of the globe that passes
through so wild, grand and terrific
scenery as this road from where it
enters at Echo until it emerges from
the DEVILS Gate into the Salt Lake
Valley. At the west altitude of the
rocks, which tower perpendieularly
thousands of feet overhead, on the
brows of the Overhanging cliffs, the
pine trees look like shrubs not a span
high. The substance Of these rocks
is of unequal hardness, ranging from
granite to conglOmerate and shale.-
The little Weber river rushing
through the gorge, and the streams
which tumble down its sides, and the
incessant air currents which blow
force through il, have worn the chasm
into ten thousand forms. Some places
where the rock is hard the stream has
barely room to force its passage be-
tween walls half a mile high; where
the rock is soft the wind and water
have torn out a wide gulf and the face
Of the rocks into fantastic shapes.
While our eyes were strained view
ing, and our heads were aching con-
those marvels of nature, !
all at once our train, with a startling |
shrek, shot out of the hOrrid gorge !
into broad and delightful plain. into !
full sunshine, while right behind |
stood black perpendicular rock wall |
at right angles with the track of the |
half a mile in altitude, and |
Just before was the pretty Mormon |
village of Deseret, and away to our
left the silvery glimmer of the Great !
Salt Lake greeted the vision.

A Pithy Sermon TO Young Men.

You are the architects of your own
fortunes. Rely upon your strength of
body and soul. Take for your motto,
self reliance, honesty and industry !;
for your star, faith, perseverance and
pluck, and inscribe on your banner
f'Be lust and fear not" Don't take
too much advice keep at the helm
and steer your own ship. Strike out.
Think well of your self. Fire above
the mark you intend to hit. Assume
your position. Don't practice excess
i've humility; you can't get above
your level-water don't run up hill
put potatoes in a cart over a rough
road and the small ones will go TO the
bottom. Energy, inviDcible deter
mination, with a right motive, are the
levers that rule the world. The great
art of commanding is to take q fair
share of the work. Civility costs
nothing and buys everything. Don't
drink; don't smoke; don't swear;
don't gamble; don't deceive; don't
steal; don't tattle. Be polite; be
generous; be kind. Study hard play
hard. Be in earnest. Be self reliant.
Read good books. Love your fellow
men as your God; love your country
and obey the laws; love truth; love
virtue. Always do what your con-
science tells you to be a duty, and leave
the consequence with God.

A Little Too Sharn.

An enterprising business man of
Hartford, Connecticut, runs two BRAN
eheS OF trade, to-wit: a grocery and
tlsb market; the grocery himself, the
fish market by deputy, and every
night the latter makes returns of the
proceeds of the days business to the
proprietor. A few days since the gro
Ger found in the fish market returns a
counterfeit five dollar bill. He didn't
like to lose it, and didn't quite want
to take the chances of trying to pass
1t. So he called an old darkey who
was hanging about the premises, and
said to him: s.a .-.-5l
Sam, here's a five dollar bill that's
little doubtful. If you'll take it and
pass it, I'll give you dollar of the
change"
VERY well, +" said Sam, and he took
the bill and went off. Later in the
day he returned, having accomplished
the feat, and handed over four dollars
in good money to the grocer.
That night the grocer, in counting
the cash returns from the fish market,
was more surprised than delighted to
find the identical five in the pile.
Look here, ~ said he sharply to his
fish market clerk, '.here,s counter
felt bill-who'd We take it of? Didn't
We know was bad?"
The clerk took it and looked at it
moment.
"Ohl yes" said he, az remember
now; | took it of Sam, the darkey.
thought it was a little doubtful, and
wasn't going to take it, but he said he
got it of you, so 1 thought it was all
right"
Further explanation was unneees-
sary.

From the London Correspondence New

Royalty in England.

AhOy at IN Gh6 AoANs
There was a time, when Queen Vic
toria was the most popular sovereign
in Europe. She is now as unpopular
and as much disliked as any crowned
head in the world. The reason for
this is that the Queen has offended
the nobility by her long continued
mourning and her determination
which seemingly will end only in
death-not to take any part in the
courtly duties of her station. To this
must be added the fact that since the
death of Prince Albert the Queen
does not spend half the money, half
the immense income she is allowed
by the nation, and that her majesty
has now saved half a million of mon
ey OF about two millions of dollars,
which ought to have been expended
in patroniZing art, promoting trade
and contributing to charities. She
does not mix with the people, is rare
ly or never seen, even by the highest
nobility in the land, and except the
public business she is Obliged to trans
act with ministers, she deputies all
duties to the Prince of Wales, who is,
except among the widest Of the wild
young men of the upper classes, most
unpopular in England.
The Prince of Wales is, in fact, but
type OF the young men OF the period.
He Smokes hard, drinks hard, lives
hard, plays, is deeply in debt, and
he's Il is said, many intimacies with
the fair sex which by no means re-
d0und to his credit. The Princess Of
J.ToIa, - ,,,r,ob Iox-ad T,o,rob odpoirad
much pitied. The consequence Of
this state of things Is that society in
England Is left without q leader, and,
unaccustomed to walk alone, it makes
q great mess of its attempts to get
along without a guide. Another
effect of the present condition of So
ciety in England is that numbers of
the best and most wealthy families
never come to London at all, but re-
main all the year round at their coun-
try seats, or perhaps tho head of the
family, If peer, runs up to town to
vote In his place in the House of
Lords, remains at a hotel so long
as any great party question is pend
ing, and then goes back again. 1t
follows, as q matter Of course, that
not nearly, not half the money
that was formerly spent in London
now finds its way among the trades
men of the metropolis, and the dis
deed. 1--WE have to pay for a court,
but receive nothing from it )" 1--WE
support the Queen, and she does moth
ing for trade" is what you hear ON
every side among the trading classes.
