SOLDIER ARRESTED FOR MAIL ROBBERY
A one armed soldier, named Davis, who
peddles books on the roads running from
Bellows Falls to Brattleboro and to Keene,
was arrested yesterday at Bellows Falls by
special agent of the Post Office Department
Hobbies Davis, having the run of the trains,
has been allowed to enter the mail car, and,
watching his opportunity, has been in the
habit of slyly taking packages Of letters from
the bags. This has doubtless been going
on for a year or more. He was suspected
BY several of the agents, but no proof was
obtained till yesterday, when one ofthe route
agents concealed the baggage master in the
mail car. expressly to watch Davis, who
was distinctly seen, when the route agents
back was turned, TO take package of letters
from bag and put it in his pocket. Mr..
Hobbies, who had been looking after Davis
for some days, was at once notified, made
the arrest and found the letters on Davis
person. He was taken to Concord and is
safe for ten years in the State Prison. He
is about thirty-fve years old and has wife
and family residing in Claremont, New
Hampshire. -Emhaad, Ut.) Herald, FEB %.

the following in the Inland Empire:
There are some strange residences in
these mountains, and none more singular to
the civilized eye than those that are almost
literally carved out of the ground. 1t is
said, however, that these habitations are
more than ordinarily hospitable during the
inclemency of the weather. We were told
yesterday by gentleman who has for sew
eral months resided in one Of these dug
outs that he recently sent for his wife to
join him. In his letter he told her he had .
cottage in the hills prepared for her. On
her arrival they walked toward the under

A RoTHSCHILD's WEALTH.-The
wealth left by the late Baron James
de Rothschild is something fabulous,
it overpowrfs the Imagination. Ma
sultan, or caliph. or emperor, real or
tabled, approached him in the extent
of his Opulence. The wealth OF
Ormus or OF Ind" palps before it.
The late Baron made the following
disposition OF his fortune: He left
to his wife, Betty, GS,OO0,O00, the
Chateau Ferriere, whose art galleries
are estimated at above ESO0, 900, aud
his house in the Rue Laffitte, at
Paris to his second son. Gustavus,
he gave eS.OOO, 600 TO his third son,
Edmund, EG,O00,O0O; and to his
grandson, the s9n of the late Solo
mon ROthschild, e2,000,000. This
is pretty well in itself, but it does
NJ v-xhauSt the vast heaps left by
the modem CrpSuS. The largest
plum has faTlen to the lot of bis eldest
son, Alphonsus, who comes in for
tribe ct G2O.OOO, UO9. This colossal
tOriune-and perhaps these legacleS
do not exhaust the amonnt--rpachcS
the sum total Of el4.sOO, OC0. Itmay
give some idea OF what this means
to mention that it wOuld nearly pay
the interest on the national debt for
two years, aud is considerably more
than halfthe Incnme of Great Britain.
Verify the deceased Baron must, like
Midas, have possessed the faculty Of
turning everything he touched into
gold.

Tyranny Over the South.

When the new constitution for
Alabama was rejected by vote of
the citizens of the State, the Radical
Congress, witll@Ht right, reason, or
rhyme, declared or ordained it
adopted. The new constitution for
Mississippi has been rejected by a
vote OF the people, and Congress,
instead of ordaining, as in the case
of the rejected constitution of Ala
bama, that it shall be considered as
adopted, is likely to declare that the
citizens of Mississippi may take their
choice between accepting it ard
I living under IA Provisional Govern
ment. But why doesn't Congress
treat both States alike? Why take
one course toward one of them and
another toward the other? If the
REJECTED constitution framed for
Alabama is declared adopted, why
not the rejected constitution of Mis-
sisSippi likewise Z! And if the people
of Mississippi are allowed to choose
between accepting the constitution
they have rejected and Provisional
Government, why not the people Of
Alabama also! Can any of the
Radicals answer such questions sat
istactorily?
The Radical party in Congress is
in no degree whatever a party of
principle. 1t is simply q party Of
expedients, very mean and rascally
eYpedientS too. 1t wouldn't hesitate
te establish in the ten Southern
States, ten different, Inconsistent,
and con radictory policies, each Of
the ten policies to be changed as
often as the hope Of party advantage
should suggest change. The refer
ring of the constitutions of the
Southern States to the votes of
those States is simply insult, impo-
sition, cheatery, dupery, mockery.
The people are told that they are
are free to vote as they like, but
there is no freedom in the case.
They must vote just as Congress
likes, or Congress will do with them
inst as it likes. The French people
may vote for ruler of France, said
Louis Napoleon, but any Of them that
vote against me shall be shot. |
don't interfere with their freedom OF
suffrage, but no one shall Interfere
with my freedom of shooting them.

Death Of John minor Bolts.

A special dispatch to the Alexan-
dria Gazette has announced the death
of Hon. John Minor Bolts, from
dropsy, at his residence in Culpeper
county, Virginia. 1t occurred yes.
terday morning. Mr.. Bolts was in
past years one of the most prominent
politicians of Virginia. He was born
in Prince William county, of that
State, September 16, 1902. His
parents were lost in the contlagra-
ton of the Richmond Theatre, in
1911, when he was sent to boarding
school, and subsequently, at very
early age, was admitted as II member
of the Richmond bar. Soon after.
wards he retired to farm in Henrico
county, but taking an active part in
politics, he was elected member of
the State Legislature in 1888, and
served in that capacity till 1889,
when he was elected to Congress, TO
which he was re elected in 1871, and
also to the Thirtieth Congress, after
which he resumed the practice of the
law at Richmond. Although ever
declining nominations for public
off cein his State, he managed to
keep his name prominently before
the country as a politician, and in
1853 was urgently pressed for the
nomination as the candidate of the
American or Know Nothing party
for the Presidency. During the war
Mr.. Bolts remained faithful to the
Union, and afterwards was accorded
some prominence by the loyalists of
Virginia, who desired to have the
countenance of a native Virginia
Union man; but lie soon discovered |
that they intended simply to use him,
and not to confer upon him any
power whatever. He had warm
friends and bitter enemies. His
death destroys one of the few remain
ing links thar connect our present
with our past political history.

the costs of t'le suit. Crotty had

A ( gelne was working, to make
payment and take Il receipt in full.
Here II dispute occurred, Crotty
claiming that the amount should be
only $500 in all. Crotty was quite

clamation. FASTENED to his sleigh, and
attempted to drive home, but soon
sunk down and died. Crolty had

J,le controversy has been more fierce
since that time.
An inquest was held on his body
bv S. w. Abbott, Justice of the
Peace, and a verdict rendered in
accordance with the facts already
stated. The sympathy of the public
is strongly with the woman, who is
new in Jail fer her rash act.

death ia Boston for murder. So
many years had elapsed since there
had been an execution at the Hub,
that hanging had grown obsolete.
The sentence of GoOde. therefore, ex-
cited immense sensation. and the
most powerful influences were
brought to bear upon the Governor,
to induce him to pardon or commute
the sentence. No doubt, the color
OF the murderer had much to do with
their sympathy, and had it been UNI
