A Singular ElOpement.
Special Telegram to the Comme rcial


PIrTsBuRG, April A singular
case Of elopement took place in
Allegheny yesterday. The "gav
lothario' was middlc-aged German,
formerly minister in the West,
who had become nearly blind; and
being stricken with poverty while
here, was compelled to seek refuge
on the Allegheny City poor farm.
The other party to the affair was a
young woman, Q servant in the fam
ily Of the resident physician of the
poor farm. lis said that since his
arrival at the poor-house the blind
preacher has shown considerable
affection for the female servant, and
they were often found in company
together. Yesterday morning both
suddenly disappeared from the
farm, and upon inquiry it was found
that they had come to the city.
Subsequently the blind preacher
called upon the directors Of the
poor, and by representing that he
wanted to return to his home in the
West, procured from them some
money to take him home. He was
afterward seen in the company of
the German servant woman, walk
ing in the direction of the Union
depot, and there is not the least
doubt but they have eloped. Il is
known that the German woman had
ticket for Germany, and, as she
had considerable money with her, it
is supposed that they have both
started for tie father land.

A MESSAGE OF PEACE.
BY GEORGE W. BUNGAY

The storm is over; on the sky
The bow of holy promise CLEANS;
The autograph of God on high
Is underscored with golden beams;
The good time coming draweth nigh,
And peace is not thought in dreams.
flushed is the thunder. auenched the fire
The crimson clouds are swept away;
No rcd rain falls-the flaming wire
Touches the pulse of peace to-day, 4
And Freedom tunes her sacred Tyre,
And hope repeats the heavenly lay.
o! prairie, broad and wild and free,
Let thy perfume of praise be shed
Like incense from the grassy sea,
From censer cups of blossoms red; .
And birds exult in ecstacy,
For sign of promise overhead
o! mountains of the peerless West,
Whose lofty foreheads touch the stars,
Whose crags clasp the wild eagles nest,
Wrap thick with snow thy thunder scars,
And tower in pride above the rest,
While echo shouts her loud huzzahsl
o.! lakes, wide as an inland sea,
Pulsing against the rock-ribbed shore,
Beating like hearts of peoples free,
Let thy proud waves for ever moro
Chant in their solemn majesty
The So. e of peace the winds encore.
o! vast confederation, rent
By war, still held by sacred ties,
Stretching across a continent,
Rejoice! thy starry banner flies
Unchallenged under the blue tent;
Our flag was copied Fl ON the skies,

CARE OF FowLs.-An invitation
of the New York State Poultry
to attend an exhibition
at the Empire Rink, on March %,
brought out some valuable ex-
perience in the management of
feathered stock. Mr.. Bruen, Of
Newark, said he had for many
years kept chickens, and had found
it profitable. He feeds with cracked
corn and oatmeal cooked with the
lardboiler's scraps. He gives
daily supply of clean water, and
furnishes clean sand and ashes.
He finds that oyster shells burned
and crushed are greedily eaten.
One year, from less than five dozen
pullets, he took over six hundred
dozen eggs. The clear profit was
over eighty dollars, or about one
dollar and half each hen, in eggs
alone. A. S. Fuller said he never
confined his hens at all, nor paid
much attention to them, but allows
them free access to bins Of wheat
and other grain. He says he has
found it profitable to let his hens
eat all the wheat they want. If Il
hen eats q handful of wheat, she
will convert it into an egg. A little
extra high feed will often change q
useless pullet into c constant layer.
He does not require his hens to
turn out such rich and concentrated
substances as compose eggs, with
out giving them a supply of hearty
food.

Veteran Kentucky y Republican

A Boone county (Ky.) CORES
pondent of the Cincinnati Chronicle
has the following:
John j. Casteel, who still lives,
was on the Sd day of July last 1O7
years old. He resides seven miles
from Boone, with his seventh wife,
whom he married when he was in
the tender age Of eighty-nine. His
fifth wife was Cherokee quadroon.
On the Sd Of November this old
man, partly blind, came on horse
back twelve miles to vote at this
precinct of Boone for President.
His youngest son ten years rode
behind him. As he entered the
town he carried flag shouting,
''Hurrah for the Union, Grant, and
a better world.' John Barnes, a
colored American. played in the
advance of this striking spectacle a
lively tune upon the fiddle, and all
the men, women and children came
trooping to the polls to sec ''Johny
come marching in" The ballot had
the right names on, but was cast
rira voce. The flag and the ticket
are to be buried with the old man
should he not live to vote again.
1t is significantly added, that tAis
man was not one of Washington S

A TERRIBLE duel took place few
days ago at Bologna. The Marquis
Giovanni Mazzacorati and the
Marquis Pizzardi, fired with pistols
at one another at ten yards distance,
with the privilege of approaching
one another and shooting at pleas,
ure The Marquis Mazzacorati was
instantly killed by shot through
the temple. A strange incident
took place previous to the duel.
When the duelists and their seconds
arrived at the grounds selected for
the combat, Mazzacorati arranged
everything, and chose a hemp field
for the duelists to take their stand
in. Pizzardi said smilingly to him:
'But it seems to me we shall injure
NJ. Minghetti by trampling his
hemp under foot" ':One of u.s."
replied Mazzaccrati with a somber
expression, '.will make up for the
damage by enriching the SOIL" A
minute afterward he was dead. H

How it Feels to be Blown uu

The recent sad accident to the
Austrian frigate Radezky has sharp
ened up the memory of an old Dane
who was on board the Danish ship
of the line Christian VIII, on the
5th of April, 1849, when she ex-
ploded. Fortunately he was not
killed, and has just given in the
Vienna Press. in all earnestness, his
experience and sensations at the
time. The old sailors Imagination
appears to be one Of the best: In

both came back again very soon,

A SENSIBLE minister ofthe Gospel
is the Rev. DR.. Newman, of the
metropolitan Methodist) Church
Of Washington. On Easter day,
having been requested to give out a
large number of notices, he an
nounced from the desk that ''as
profusely and widely circulated as
was the American press, through
the columns of which such notices
could be properly laid before the
public, he did not deem it fair that
the minister should be made an adj
vertising medium" Those penu-
rious hypocrites who would make
the pulpit the medium for ad
vertising their schemes, are of the
class who put dime into a con-
tribution plate and take out a quar-

blaCkSLOue Oh 1uuISuay Sue SIoleu
that insanity was hereditary in the
family of her husband. Upon
recent occasion his little son asked
him why he sat as though he was
looking down his nose. Mr. Black
stone has attended the Congrega-
tional Church of Rev. DR.. Edward
Hawes since he has been in this
city. Mr. Funston further states
that he understood Mr.. Blackstone
had money coming 10 him and was
man of considerable means, and
his wife was said to have money in
bank. s....e-. ...a.e
These are all the facts that we
obtained in relation to this unfortu-
nate man. In all probability he was
seized with an insane fit after his
wife left her bed on Monday morn
ing, and, while she was making the
fire, he feiled her with the AK, the
first blow doubtless being the one
on the back of the head, and knock
ing her senseless.
The lid being off the range, and
the chips about it, all Indicate this.
1t is probable that she brought
down with her the little girl, and
placed her upon the lounge, where
she probably fell asleep.
The little boy might have been
attracted down stairs by the noise
of the blows, when he was dispatch
ed. Then the girl was killed as she
lay upon the. lounge, for her being
across her brothers arm shows that
she was the last one laid upon the
floor. s..
The table had probably been set
for tea and not been cleared. The
absence of eatables of any kind in
the house indicated that the wife
was preparing for breakfast and
would purchase supplies from some
neighboring store When the body
of the husband was taken from the
water he had S15 in his pocket
On Sunday the children we're heard
by the neighbors playing in the
yard, and at e O'Clock Monday
morning voices were heard in 1.-The
house. The fact of the work basket
being near, together with the spool
of cotton and thimble, tends to
show that Mrs. Blackstone was at
work Sunday evening. This can
be explained by the fact that she
adopted the cid Puritan custom. her
Sabbath commencing at dark Satur-
day and ending at dark Sunday.
Her husband was in the habit OF
leaving the store earlier on Saturday
night than any other, and always
before o'clock.
After the horrid slaughter was
perfected, the husband seems to
have washed his hands, as towel
with blood upon it was found in the
sink under the Ilydrant in the kitch
en-. Some of the blood upon il
indicated that he wiped his hands
whilst there was frest blood upon
them. He then left the house
through back window, bowing the
shutters, which would lead the
neighbors to suppose the presence
Of persons within As neither he
nor his family seemed to have
visited the neighbors, they would
not notice the fact of the window
