Jealousy is at least as large as emulation.
Repelled by wrongs, in the way l have
stated, | was compelled to learn the
generosity of men, and ! do not regret
the lesson"
Miss Stanton, said my informant,
proved an amiable exception, for she al
ways afterward spoke we'll of Winnie
Ream in her newspaper.
It is true that good deal of aspersion
has been feully dealt at little Ream. The
women have never beer able to get over
the appropriation Congress made her.
These literary women are the most reck-
less Of BohemiaDs.
No letters from this city was ever more
absolutely wild with causeless spleen
than Calhoun's aforenamed. She "ran
muck" in Washington, and yet under
stood nothing about it. Swisshelm,
searching for victims, got afoul of Mrs.
Sprague dreadfully last year and raised
such Indignation that even her undaunted
mettle was abashed. Mrs. Ann Ste
phens is suing somebody for libel and
appreciating the pleasures of being
abused in print. "The Roman Matron"
is here, but without Government com
mission yet. Little Ream is the Venus
Victrie. She as met the enemy, and
they are hers. Wherever deficient in
talent, these wohan's tongues raised her
compensating sympathy.

contrary. Ii was made an actual exhi


bition.
The scaffold being cleared, tie Sheriff
informed the condemned that his hour
had arrived, but from the continued ex-
element of the hour previous he was un-
able to rise to his feet without an effort.
The cap was then placed over his head,
but he asked that it be removed for an
instant to gain another glimpse of the
light Of heaven. This was done, and it
was again replaced, forever darkening
the earthly vision of Gus Holmes. The
rope was then adjusted, and when the
knot was placed the condemned fairly
gave way at the knees, and would have
sunk upon the drop, but he was caught.
At this juncture the Sheriff, who was
much excited, as might be expected un-
der the circumstances, said, Hold on,
Gus, you won't be hurt" A negro had
to be called to the platform to support
the sinking man, and as he had to stand
clear of the drop, Holmes became in a
position leaning against him, entirely
helpless, his feet being toward the front
of the drop. The consequence of this
was that when the drop fell the con-
demned slid off, the knot having worked
round the back of his neck, strsngulation
was the result. The neck was not broken.
There was violent convulsive move
ment of the lower limbs, lasting for
nearly three minutes. Breathing ceased
in seven minutes and half, pulsation in
twelve minutes, and in twenty minutes
life was declared extinct by the attending
physician.

We care not, ss we have often said,

a future Congress without serious injury
and grave wrong to the nation. Before

Four Despsradoss Killed in Montgomery.

From the Galveston News of the 3d.
We learn from gentleman who resides
few miles from the town of Montgomery,
in this State, that a bloody tragedy oc-
Cured in that place last week. Four
men were killed, and the town for while
presented the appearance of a battlefield
on small scale.
The circumstances, as near as we can
gather them from hasty conversation,
are about as follows:
A desperate, whose name we did not
learn, recently appeared in Montgomery,
and in a short time made himself odious
to the citizens by his qusrrelsome dspo-
sition. He gathered around him, how
ever, several friends, who, it proved, lost
their lives in endeavoring to stand by
him in his difficulties.
This desperado was also suspected Of
passing counterfeit money, and of having
been horse-thief
On the day of the tragedy he rode his
horse into the store of Messrs. Smith &
Peal, and on being ordered out be drew
his pistol, but before he could fire it he
was fred upon by Smith or Peal with
double-barrel shot gun. Although badly
wounded he ran out into the street, and
by some fatality met party of citizens
who were hunting him for the purpose of
arresting him for passing counterfeit
money. He ran in another direction,
when some one in the party fired upon
him and he fell. A Mr. Oliver and two
brothers named McGrew (who it seems
were in the habit of associating with the
desperado) ran up to his rescue with
pistols drawn, when they were fred upon
BY the crowd and all three killed.
Politics had nothing whatever TO do
with the bloody affair.

trench where it ahouldn't and not re-
trench where it should. 1t will retreneh
with view to the interests of the Radical
party, not Of the country. And its re-.
trenchment will in many. if not most
cases, be bogus retrenchmeut, q mock
retrenchment, q nominal reduction of ex-
penses to be supplied by inevitable def.
cheney bills hereafter, though this kind
of maueuver or dodge would seem to be
of less use to the party now than it was
before the Presidential election, when
there was specific partisan purpose to
be subserved by it. The party, having
got its President, might, we should sup.
pose, afford to be bare-faced and bold
faced in whatever financial and political
pronigacy it is determined to practice.

Mr.. George W. Childs, proprietor of the
Philadelphia Public Ledger, gave to his
employees, ou Christmas Day, presents to
the value of $40, 900. The recipients we're
unanimous in the wish that he might
live to see many merry Christmases, and
that Heaven would make all employers
as generous.

An Outrageous Robbery Of Little Girl.


On Wednesday evening, as little
italian girl, named Amelia INLAND, was
passing along q back street, she was
forcibly seized By black negro, named
Anderson Wyer, and violin taken from
her. The negro then gave the violin to
o small negro boy, instructing him to
sell it. By this means he was detected
and arrested. OH yesterday morning he
was brought before the Mayor for ex-
am ination. The evidence given against
him was of the most conclusive character.
One of the witnesses, while on the stand,
was questioned by Wyer, who asked
"You remember what dat little boy say
when he come to de shop, don't your
Witness" Yes, does. He say you
took give him de fiddle, an tole him to
come dar an sell it."
Wyer-" Now, Posey, if dat amt goiu
back on feller wouldn't say so. Oh,
me, but never stole de fiddle. suit n
ly didn't steal de fiddle"
Posey-"I don't know nuthn' tall
bout dat"
Wyer-" Well, but what did de lady
say when she come dar Mr.. Posey,
don't 20 back on me. l nuver stole de
fiddle"
Posey-"I amt got nutt'n tall to say
to you"
Mayor" Here, thatll do. I'll con-
tinue this case until tomorrow. Go
back there"
Wyer-" All right, Mar, l Igwine back.
But look here, Posey, you took went
back on me, you did, and l didn't steal
de fiddle nuther. When / was sick and
in my bed, and you stole my shoes, l

and all who care for me, thus to
discover the tomb of a blood relation.
True, distant one, but still re-

nature thrilled its recognition. Tho
fountain of my tilial affection was

emotion. | leaned upon II pillar and

to have wept over the grave of my

would snecr at my emotion close

little to his tastein my journcyings

man he did not live to see mc--ho
did not live TO see his child. And |

pointment, he died before was born.

"Two worthy matrons Of this city

benefits of the system, and at length
her efforts were crowned with sue

had been established according to tho
theory of Susan and the ReroluHOn.
