A Young Lady Shot by,
Hen. Lover.
From the st. Paul Pioneer, Aug. Z.

From the st. Paul Pioneer, Aug.7.
We learned yesterday partial &C.
counts of a serious affair which took
place at the Nicollet House, Mime
apolis, on Thursday evening last,
about 8 O'Clock. It seems that q
young lady Of very prepossessing ap.
pearance, named Alice Ferguson,
who. until recently, has been living
In the family of II. ]. Mendenhall,
ESQ.,, but who, for a short time, had
been engaged sewing at the NIcollet
House had unconsciously won the
affections Of q young man named
Anthony Cochrane, q bricklayer In
Minneapolis, The young man was q
very ardent lover, but unfortunately
his love was not returned by the OBJ.
ject OF his affection. He proposed,
and was rejected. The coldness and
indifference Of the young lady drove
him almost frantic. His attentions
amounted to persecution, and greatly
annoyed the young lady, who Is not
only very beautiful, but as good rs
she Is lovely. She had reasoned
again and again with her unreasona.
BILE admirer, until her patience was
about exhausted. On Thursday
evening he again forced himself into
her room In the Nicollet House,
where she sat sewing, and again
urged his suit. Again he was re-
fused, when finding persuasive words
OF no effect, he resorted to threats,
and drawing revolver, he told her
she could have her choice, either
marry him or die. Seriously alarmed,
but not intimidated, she persisted I'm
her refusal, when he fired, the ball
taking effect in her arm, which she
had thrown up az protection. This
probably saved her life, as he had
aimed at her head, and but for the
ball striking the bone of her arm,
and being thus turned aside, she
would have been killed instantly.
Immediately after firing, the coward
ly wretch fled, and up to our latest
accounts had not been arrested, al.
though strong hopes were entertained
of his arrest yesterday. The young
lady's arm is badly shattered, and
may have to be amputated. The
feeling In Minneapolis was very
bitter against the young man, and,
had he been found when the facts
first became known, they would have
lynched him.

Ing that they would either lose the
closing views of the performance, or
be the subjects Of the displeasure of
the circus man, IL he should discover
them dead heading" IL to his show.
In due time the performance closed,
the crowd dispersed, and, horror up-
on horrors, the keeper of the animals
now added to the perils OF their situ-
alton by hitching two smaller eIe-
plants and camel to the same tree.
Our lads now discovered that they
were In for night of IL, as all hands
had left, excepting only themselves
and the animlas on guard below. All
hope of escape was now cut off. About
this time Romeo concluded to inyes-
tigate matters above him, and with
his trunk commenced trimming out
the smaller branches. Our BOYS
commenced climbing also, until they
had got above his reach; and now
the camel took up the investigation.
and poking his ugly mug up among
the limbs, he drove the boys to the
very uppermost branches Of the tree,
where they were discovered, at day
break, by their anxious parents, who
had been searching for them In vain
all night, teetering and tossed about
like bIackbirds on the top of a rice
stalk In windy day. The boys saw

A correspondent who had a CONVEX
sation with the late Edward Everett,
Of Massachusetts, while on q journey
from Cleveland to Buffalo, says:
"He gave me an interesting page
from his history, connected with his
addresses. He said that from the
earliest start he had been accustomed
to commit to memory his speeches.
In writing an address he wrote page
and then committed 1t. III he was
about to visit place where there was
the least probability of his making
an address, or speaking, he would
search for some historic event or
matter Of local interest, write and
commit. III he was called to speak
unawares, he put his thoughts down
Immediately after his return home,
and wrote out such speech as he
would have delivered. When he
was settled In Brattle street Church,
Boston, he was mere STRIPPING. He
resolved to read nothing, but to pre-
pare his sermons with great care and
commit them. Some Of the elder
members Of his flock were nervous
by his temerity. Seeing mere lad
stand up In the pulpit without q
scrap Of paper before him, filled them
with alarm lest he should break down.
and thus destroy all their enjoyment.
Mr.. Everett was requested to take
notes with him In the pulpit Wish
Ing to accommodate his friends, and
resolute In his purpose not to read
his sermons, he compromised the mat
ter. He took into the pulpita SER
mon he was not preaching. and oc-

friends. Under this constant and
severe discipline his memory became

when he gave his celebrated Phi Bets

was on the manufacture of silk. He
described the set. the room In which
1t was kept, and the very spot In the
library where II could be found. He
wrote down nearly everything In a

ing. fastened everything In his menu
