ITHACA, May 23-Mr. Bayard Taylor, one of
the nonresident Professors Of Cornell University has
inst closed his annual course Of lectures. They related
to the literature Germany during the past 100 years
IL will be readily understood that they were marked ny
that accurate familiarity which Mr.. Taylor more than
any man on this side of the ocean, at least possesses
They formed series Of critical studies, reviewing the
lives and abors of Leasing Klopsock, Herder Wieand
Schiller. Goethe and Humboldt In rs much detail as
the University lecture system permits Mr. Taylor treated
OF the remarkable "Stum und Drang period-that ago
of literary eervescence and fermentation, out OF uo
subsistence which the first great school OF German
letters: OF the position Of the author Of LAGOON anu

of the romantic school, of the services OF the lns'ei
who sang Oberon" in incorporating into the new hera

and OF the result Of this earlier generation III producing
that later iustrious age the cefes representatives Oh
which arc Goethe and Schiller.
Naturally enough, "a result both OF the character OF
his theme and of the taste OF the lecturer the poetcal
literature held the foremost place in the course Ihe
growth Of German poetry traced from the days when
its root was planted in the storm and stress OF hundred
years 60 through the rise Of its sturdy stem in the aga

marked, last summer they four gambled

The pump did not work and he got in

reached forward to fix some portion of

had there been half inch less play to
the cam, his head would have been
mashed to jelly. 1t was very mar

A GROSS OUTRAGE.-Yesterday morn
ing about o'clock Bill Harris and
David Robinson went to the house of q
man named Noah w. Radcllff, in North
Wheeling, and knocked for admission.
There were in the house, Mr.. Radcliff,
who is totally blind, his wife and his
daughter, a young woman. The daugh'
ter, in answer to the unruly summons,
put her head out Of the window, and
after learning the mems intentions,
ordered them away. Failing to have
her command obeyed, she procured q
pistol and fred it, as much, she says, in
the hope of awakening the neigbbors as
of frightening the men off. They, how
ever, only laughed at her shooting, and
Harris broke the door in. Proceeding
up stairs the men got into room where
the family was huddled together, and
Robinson, whose only fault appears to
have been that of getting drunk and
being in the company of Harris, asked
and received permission to lie on the
bed, where, overcome by his potations
he soon went to sleep, and was not a
participant in the after transactions
Harris, fred by the liquor he had swal'
lowed; ordered the blind father from
the room, swearing that if he didn't &c
be would pin his head to the wall. He
then made q rush for the girl and at
tempted to force her to submit to hii
desires. Defsnseless and completely al
his mercy, she, with woman's tact
managed to foil him until the arrival OF
the police, about daylight, when the
two men We're arrested. Robinson gave
bail in the sum of $500 to answer before
the Circuit Court. Harris was commit
ted to Jail in default of $1,000 bail to sp,
pear for examination at 10 o'clock thi:
morning.

Vile, of Webster township, last night

these who escaped from the jail at St.

ing Yank Wheeler's boarding house.
Mechan was discovered in the upper
room by someso of the inmates of the
house, and tried to make his escape by
jumping from the porch. This was pre-
vented, the doors were locked, and the
officer sent for. He had thrown a lot
of clothing out to two accomplices, but
they were compelled to rnn before they
could secure the plumber. Mechan,
when arrested, had coat on his back
that was stolen from the same boarding
house about month since. He was
taken before Squire Clohan, who COM
mitted him to Jail to await an examina-

Squire johnson, yesterday, by Constable
John T. Cortney, of Richland township,
charged with committing assault and
battery on Casper Saft, resident OF
Richland township, on the 31st day OF

went to Stroup's house, and the two got
into a quarrel, when Stroup picked up
a cup of hot coffee and threw it, cup and
all, into the face of the ether. Stroup
followed up his attack with skillet OF
hot lard, forcing Saft to retire frem the
field. The examination resulted in
