even tenor of his way, and went on
making arrests. he was not again mo-
lested
In the Northwestern railroad difficult
ties he was employed, or at least worked
for Col. Innes, pet of Brownlow, and
likewise turned his attention to the Ku-
Klux, though we do not know that he
had any designs on that mysterious body
There WAS good deal of Ku-Klux ex-
citement, and Barmore was one of the
few who witnessed the grand entree of q
large body of the hooded horsemen to
Nashville-their first and last known
visit to the State capital. They passed
through the city at midnight, and the
whole police force was drawn up to meet
them half an hour after they had disap.
peared in the suburbs.
Some of Barmore's enemies subse-
quently fabricated story of his seizure
by the KH-Klux, and of his initiation to
the paddock degree. The story was gem
orally believed, and brought him into
ridicule, thou gh there was not word of
truth in it, s.s, on the night it was said to
have occurred, he was in Nashville.
Altogether, the man in velvet led very
unenviable life, and if the Ku-Klux have
really had to do with his taking off, they
only freed poor prosecuted soul that
will cry out to God against them in the
day to come.
Our dispatches last night bring no
tidings of the missing detective, and the
impression that he has been foully dealt
with seems to have become general

Longfellow.

The Florence correspondent of the
London Daily Neps tells the following
story in connection with on account of
the funeral service in memory of Rossini
at Florence, where the scene took place:
"The service finished about one
o'clock. As / left the church, and while
standing on the fight of steps before
descending into the Santa Croce square,
my attention was arrested by the singu-
larly engaging and intellectual counte-
nance of one who had likewise been
present to hear the requiem. A gentle-
man, perhaps sixty years of age, with
silvery locks and beard, accompanied by
lady, youth and two young girls, was
gazing from the topmost step on the
crowd in the square as it flowed onward
past the statue of Dante. Whilst watch
ing with curiosity the human stream
before him, he was himself an object of
keen, undisguised, yet respectful interest
to a party of young Anglo-Italian girls
only few steps of. / could overhesr
one saying to the rest, am sure it must
be be, be is so like the prints Atlengtb
one of the young girls drew near to the
lady accompanying the silver haired
stronger, and said: Pray excuse the
liberty, but is not that Mr.. LongfellowT
To be sure it is, was the reply. oh, /
am so happy l have seen him / was the
instant and spontaneous exclamation;
that really is a treat; that is worth
great deal more than the requiem The
young Anglo Italian then retreated to re-
Join her own party, but her remarks had
been communicated both to the American
poet aud to the two girls whom be was
holding by the hand, and with q charm
ing frankness they ell came forward and
spoke few words Of natural and simple
courtesy; there was also kind shake Of
the hand, facts which have little doubt
will, throughout the whole lives Of those
to whom they were addressed, lend a
sweeter perfume to the verse Of Evan
geline and Hiawaiha.

to exlinguish it, but to no purpose. An
attempt to check its fierce career was
made by the erection of mud walls and
the pumping in of large quantities of
water, and by this means the fire was
partially smothered, but the heat became
so intense and the pressure OF gas so
great that the walls were burst, and the
flames are now sweeping onward with
greater force than ever. The fire Is
spreading through the old mines at the
rate of sixty yards per day, and it is
feared the entire field may be destroyed.
So much progress has been made BY the
flames that it is estimated that the cost
of extinguishing them before they have
spread over space of thousand acres
will be not less than $500 Twenty
two loaded wagons and all the tools oi
the miners have been lost thus far.
The coal field over which this great
subterranean deluge of fire is sweeping,
is one of the most valuable on the Monon'
gahela, and extends distance of some
eight or ten miles. II is difficult to say
what will be the result of this under.
ground conhrsgration if tits not checked
very soon. Wherever a vein of coal ex
tends the FIRE must follow it, and The
whole Pittsburg coal region may yet bs
endangered. Let some great lake o
Pennsylvania oil be touched by the re
sistless stream of fire, let the under
ground gases be turned on, let the vas
beds of coal throw out their strength
and the old Keystone State, or at least 1
large portion of it, will form the vent o
a subterranean hell inferior only to thos'
which in other quarters of the glob'
break out in blazing volcanoes from tn,
surface of the earth.

to enforce the laws? 1t is in the face of
this disregard of duty or utter incom-
potency on the part not only of the civil
authorities of the counties where dis
turbances have occurred, but of the
Governor, that the Legislature is about
to confer upon the Governor the power
to declare martial law whenever and
wherever he pleases This is q
dangerous power to confer upon q
functionary who has been so lax in the
execution of the power already placed
in his hands, and which every candid
man must admit is amply sufficient to
secure peace and good order Throughout
the State. If the civil au-
thorities would act, they would receive
the encouragement and efficient aid, if
necessary, of every good and law-abiding
citizen. These outrages should be pre-
vented by the arrest and punishment OF
those by whom they are perpetrated,
but that is the work of the civil authori-
ties. They have not shown their inabil-
ity to do this. for they have never made
the effort. Until that inability is clearly
shown the military under martial law
should be held in allegiance. .-Nashrittt

The Inquisition of Silence.

The silent system Of punishment is now
in operation in the Holloway model
prison Of London. Under its rigid rule
it is an offense for prisoner to speak
one word, and he is never addressed, ex.
cept in whispers, so that be may be in
prison two years without hearing the
natural sound of the human voicel The
effect of this is so terrible on the mind
that prisoners will speak out in despera.
ton, at the risk of any punishment,
rather than endure that horrible silence.
The prisoners never see one another, but
remain in perpetual solitude. One poor
wretch, driven to desperation by nine
months solitude and silence, recklessly
broke out "For Gods sake, Governor,
put me in another cell Put me some
where else | have counted the bricks in
the cell / am in till my eyes ache !"
The request of the tortured wretch was
refused. There is fine hole in each cell,
and, as the warders wear shoss of India
rubber soles, the prisonsr can never be
sure he is alone. Those condemned to
the treadmill have to ascend twelve hun
dred steps every alternate twenty min
utes for six hours. And this in place
so hot and close that prisoners often lose
in perspration three stone in as many
months. Every day the prisoners are
taken to chapel so arranged that they
can see no one save the chaplain, and him
only through an iron grating. And this is
the order Of devotion. Warders are con-
stantly en- the watch, lest for single in
slant they, through the whole Of the SER
vice, depart from the rigid rule of "eyes
-isht" Thav mnst loak steadfsstlv at
the preacher; must raise and lower their
prayer books with the elbow squared,
and all at once, like soldiers at drill.
They may Hot scrape their feet without
having afterward to explain the move
meRt. They may scarcely wink an eye,
or sigh, without danger of rebuke or pun
ishment.
