AN EvENTFUL BRIDAL ToUR.-Among the
passengers who arrived in the city on board
the steamer Colorado, on Sunday, were A.
Meja and his wsie. Senior Mejia is the son
of the Mexican Minister of War under the
Juarez Government, and during the war with
the French held the position of Paymaster
of the Military Division of the West, and was
located at Guaymas. He was married a few
months ago at Guaymas to Miss Connor
daughter of the late American Consul at that
place. 1t was the design of the newly.mar-
ried couple to pay visit to the City of Mex
leo, but few days after the marriage took
place, the pirates of the steamer Forward
made their appearance, and for short time
carried everything with a high hand. Among
other exploits achieved by them was the cap
ture of Mejia, whom they carried off to the
mountains of Sinaloa. Vega, who was at the
head OF the piratical movement, demanded
a ransom OF $4,000 for the release of his pris-
oner, and threatened to kill him if the money
was not paid. Information of this demand
reached the father of the prisoner He, in
steadiof paying uown the coin, secretly organ
lied a small force of picked men, and penetra-
ted the mountain region, where his son was
detained. They there attacked a guard of
seven men, killed five of them, and wounded
the other two, and rescued young Mejia from
imprisonment. They lost one of their own
men in the attack. After the husband Joined
his wife at Guaymas, they found it difficult to
get to Acapulco. In order to accomplish this
object. they embarked on board the steamer
Continental for this port, intending to take
the next Panama steamer. They were both
saved from the wreck, and reached this city
in safety, having lost all their baggage and
personal property. Since arriving here they
have made up their minds to 60 overland to
New York, and sail from that port to Vera
Cruz. They will keep sharp lookout for
railroad accidents, confagrations, earthquakes
and first class disasters on the route.-San
francisco Bulletin.

The following touching and pathetic story
we heard only recently from the lips of be-
reaved father, and we were so impressed with
its solemn beauty and grandeur that we take
the liberty of giving short account of it.
Two beautiful little boys (twins) aged about
three years, cast their sunshine over happy
home in this city, and it seemed as if the
earthly happiness of the whole family was de-
pendant upon them. Of remarkably loving
disposition and un Usually precocioas for their
ages, they won the love of their entire neigh
borhood, and wherever they went were pet
ted and caressed. But sickness came, and
scarlet fever bowed their little heads at nearly
the same time, taking one of the loved ones
from this mortal shore, and transplanting him
in Immortality. The other one after wrest-
ling with disease for long time, rallied, and
no doubts were entertained OF his recovery,
but he constantly called for his departed little
brother, and refused to be cOmforted unless
he could see him. In vain his attendants
told him he had only gone away on short
visit; he would hot be satisfied unless he was
taken over the entire house and assured that
his brother was not at home. His entreaties
were so urgent that finally he was carried one
and his eyes were turned hopefully and long
1ngly To every place that was able to con-
tain anyone. Having made the tour of
the house he was again returned to his cham
Der, when he resigned himself and to give up
the idea of seeing that cherished companion.
He did not even mention his name, but SEEM
ed to realize hat his brother could not come
near him. That same night, all unexpected,
the Angel of Death came 10 reunits those
loved ones, and the weeping attendant saw
him clasp his little hands, and exclam exult-
insly, II see-I see"-"See what?" said the
watcher-"I see, l see A"-(msntioning his
departed brothers name) he replied, and
then with smile passing over his counte-
nance he closed his eyes in death, and his
| earthly life was ended. And who shall dare
| TO affirm that his brother had not come back
| to accompany him to the mansions of bliss?
Who shall dare to say that the loved and
gone before do not turn to these earthly
shores and whisper words of cheer to the de-
parting soul that otherwise would shrink
back terror stricken? 1t is a beautiful thought
that from the death-bed even OF little child
may be learned the lesson in its fullest mean
ing OF Immortality, of the reuniting of those
dear ones who have gone beiore-not lost

The MURDERER WILsON.-A prison re-
form Congress, made up of delegates of the
leading penal and reformatory institutions In
the United States, was recently held in Cir
cinnati. DR.. E. w. Hatch, superintendent Of
the reform school in Meriden, was one of the
delegates from Connecticut State and from
him the following interesting account of Dave
Kentley alias Jas. Wilson, the murderer of
Warden Willard, is obtained:
While attending the congress sat by the
side of the Rev. A. G.. Byers, the secretary of
the board of State charities for the State of
Ohio. He said to me, Il should like very
much to see Dave Kentley alias Wilson, who
is in your State prison." and then continued:
"When Kently was in the penitentiary of Co
lnmbus, Ohio, was chaplain there. l be-
came well acquainted with him, and think
he is one of the smartest men ever knew. If
there is any truth in phrenology, his head is
more like the head of Napoleon Bonaparte
than any mans head l ever saw. think he
looks like him. But he is the slyest, keenest
most artful, most malignant, most develish
man have ever met, and l have been con-
nected with prisons and penitentiaries for a
long time. He was cent to our place after his
escape from Michigan, ,and while his feet were
yet sore from having been amputated. He
took the measure of every man in the prison.
He sent for me one day and said that his
work OF file cutting hurt his foot. He sat at
at his work, but he held thel file in position
by stirrup in which he placed his foot. I
told him l could do nothing for him, and
saw at once that he wanted to get changed
Then he sent for the physician, and he not
knowing the man as well as did, sympathiz-
ed with him.
After little delay Kentley was sent to the
hospital. But it was all pretence to get
there, the keepers who knew the man pro-
testing against it. After his foot was well he
was sent to the tailor's shop to work. Then
he commenced his plan OF escape. He took
strips and and thread as he could, and con-
veyed them to his cell. Finally he got pair
OF pants. Then he dug through the bottom
OF his cell into the air passage after fixing an
image in the bed, stump feet and all. He
passed through the air. cell into the yard, and
with rope ladder, made from thread and
strips of cloth, he scaled the wall and was
OFT. In short time he was in the New Jersey
State prison, and wrote them from there ask
ing for watch he left in Ohio. Tney did
not reply to him, but did write to the war
den of the New Jersey prison, saying
that they wanted him in Ohio when New
jersey cot through with him. The warfen
replied that there was no fear OF his escaping
from them, and at the proper time he should
be forthcoming. In less than two months he
escaped. "Now," said Chaplain Byers, II see
the whole plan of the villain. 1t was to be
sent to the county jail after his trial so that
he might escape" And', said he, with empha-
sis, che would, too, for there is no county Jail
in the United States that can hold him."

FRENCH "BUsH-wHACKING ILLUsTRA-

ON the Goth inst, gives the following account
of fight by the F.rancs-Tireurs:
had left Rethel at o'clock on the MORN
ing of the 26th, and had gone fifteen miles,
when, on approaching the small village OF
Lannois, discovered line of twenty wagons
loaded with provisions for the army, and some
horses standing near, others lying dead on
the ground, the work OF the Francs -Treurs.
The convoy being insuiilciently guarded, they
had played havoc ON it. At the same mo
ment l saw the smoke of an engine, ap-
preaching on the road repaired by the Pruss-
sions, between Sedan and Rethel. The Francs.
Tireurs, evidently expecting the train, had
placed distractions ON the track, and lay con-
cealed on the high, wooded ground, from an
embankment 200 yards distant. On meeting

from the track, and the engine broke loose.
Inc train was filled with provisions, and es-
corted by fifty Prussian soldiers, under COM
mand OF captain. The Tireurs, apparently
astonished to see number of soldiers
pour out unhurt, tell back hurriedly after an
ill-directed fire. The Prussans did not pur-
sue, but remained with the train. The
Franc Tireurs, re encouraged, returned to the
attack. The Prussians, availing themselves
of the cover OF the carriages, poured we'll
nourished fire among their ranks. The
Fienchmen were again driven to flight, leav-
ing ten or twelve of their number on the
ground. The second attack reached the

MILITARY CHlr-Cu.T.

There Is rumor IN military circles that during the
coming season there VIII be a drill match between
crack company Of the Twelfth regiment and one
or the companies OF the Twenty-second II Is said
that prominent Officer Of the regular army Is
as Judge, and that Hc triumphant company viii be
aent to the seat OF war instaner II this should be
true II IL quite likely that neither company Will be
very anxious to win.
Now that every kind o. association Is putting It's
bnger into the political pie To serve its own ends, an
effort Is being made among several OF the rcgi-
mens OF the First and Second divisions TO
make the question OF supplying the militia
with regular army nlusketS question OF
the coming campaign as far the National Guard
voters are concerned. Those VINO are agltating
the matter claim that they have TOR years been pro-
missed the 'latest Improvements" but every pro-
mise has been broken, and that the men ought to
support only those politicians who will pledge them
selves TO getting rid OF the present muskets and re-
placing them with the improved Springfield. Ii Is
quite doubtful II the movement viii succeed. The
militia, as such, should keep out Of politics.
Great preparations are being made for the de-
parture OF the Ninth regiment to Boston. Colonel
Fisk has determined TO give the Hubbltes good
sight at his men, and show them what can be ex-
pected Of the rvals OF the seventh" 1t is expected
that tho Ninth VIII make very large turnout.
