Murder will Out-A baggage Man
~ Comes 10 Grief.

From the St Joseph Union. September l2.l
About three years ago Misses Helen
r. and Mary M. Kimball, of Quincy,
who we're en- route West, lost one of their
trunks. 1t was stolen either at the
Quincy depot or while in transit over the
river. A day or two after its loss it was
traced by Mr.. McGraw to Macon City,
and remained there two or three days,
but nothing further could be discovered
of it's whereabouts. Mr.. McGraw saw
the baggage master at that point, Mr..
Walter Homes, and gave him an inven-
tory of its contents, together with de-
scription of the trunk, telling him to
keep lookout for it.
The Whig states that some two or
three months ago Miss Kimball, who was
teaching school at Chillicothe, saw the
name of her sister, I'M. M. Kimball." in
the book of one of her scholars. She
questioned the child, who said it was her
graDdmother's book, and that her name
was Kimball. Being perfectly satisfied
as to whom the book belonged, Miss Kim.
ball informed the proper authorities rela-
tive to the discoveries she had made,
! when she returned to Quincy. some time
afterward. Chief of Police McGraw was
placed upon the track. Ascertaining the
name of the child to be Homes, he at
once remembered his suspicion of the
baggage master at Macon City, some
three years prevous-for he had ex-
pressed doubts of bis honesty at the time,
but was informed that he must be mis-
taken, as 81. was perfectly trustworthy.
Following The clue he was in possession
OF, Mr.. McGraw discovered that Homes
had had beea transferred f-os Macon City 10
.Chillicothe, and thence 10 ST. Joseph. He
went to the baggage master and gave him
to understand that he knew all about the
theft, but Homes denied it. McGraw said
he had search warrant, and would at
once proceed to look for himself Homes
thereupon confessed to having bought two
trunks about three years previous of an
old woman, for which he said he paid $35,
and acknowledged it contained certain
articles which were named by the detec-
tive. Upon searching the house only a
gold ring and napkin-ring we're discov-
cred and identified, but the destruction OF
many other articles was admitted by the
family. Mr.. |. 81. Miller, of Quincy, who
has charge of the omnibus line, and who
was held responsible Tor he trunk by Mr..
Kimball (having paid $l75 for its loss),
was with Mr.. McGraw upon that detective
exclusion, and upon being paid by Homes,
who declared his innocence, let the fellow

was also lost, and it is supposed now that

Two hundred of their killed and wounded
we're left on the field, 27O prisoners were
captured. and nearly 400 deserted. The
result of the battle compelled Valmaseda
to give way and fall back on his fortifics-
tons. There is great rejoicing through

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. 1sth.l
As we were parting from Miss Susan
B. Anthony last evening in the Burnet
House parlor, she remarked that she had
that day met young lady whom she
would love to welcome to the ranks OF
the little army that was battlisg for Wo-
mans Rights. Miss A. indicated by 9
nod the person of whom she spoke, and
it proved to be lovely girl whom we
had noticed at once on entering the
room: whose face, indeed, was one of
those which many men and some women
possess. which attract ones attention
even in the largest crowd, and which,
though we get but glimpse at them, are
easily recognized years afterward as hav-
ing been seen before, bearing upon them,
as they do, some inexphcable fascina-
ton beyond the mere impress OF intel
lect or Of beauty. Our reportorial Gu
riosity was at once aroused, OF course,
and upon Miss Anihony's adding that
the Young lady was the heroine of re-
cent hunt, in which General Custar and
two "Peers of the Realm" had also
figured, we unblushingly requested an
introduction, which was kindly gre nted.

daughter of Mr.. t. W. Tsllmadge, Of

uow TO MAKE WIFE UNHAPPY


See her as seldom as possible. If she
is warm-hearted and cheerful, or if af-
ter days or a weeks absence, she
meets you with smiling face, and in
an affectionate manner, be sure 10 look
coldly en- her, and answer her in mon
asyllables. If she repels her tears and
is resolved to look cheerful, sit down
and cape in her presence till she is fully
convinced Of your Indifference. Never
think for a moment that you
have anything to do to make
her happy, but that her happiness con-
sists in gratifying your caprices, and
when she has done all that a woman
can do, be sure you do not appear salts
fed. Never take an interest in any of
her pursuits, and if she asks your ad-
vice, make her feel that she is troub-
lesome and impertinent. If she at
tempts to rally you good humoredly
on any Of your peculiarities, never join
in the laugh, but froWn her into silence.
1fshe has faults-which undoubtedly
she has, and is ignorant of-never at
tempt to correct them, but be certain to
continually obtrude upon her ears,
"What good wife somebody else has,
and how happy man must be with
such wife" In company, never
seem to know that you have a wife
treat all her remarks with Indifference,
and be very sffable and complaisant to
every lady present, eXceptyour wife. If
you strictly follow the above direction,
you may be certain Of an obedient and
brOken-haerted wife.
