A Murderer's UncOncern-

From the Syracuse IN. " Courierl
Walter Graham killed Samuel Otto
in Wayne county. He left the body
when the deed was done, and went TO
lawyer in the village of Wolcott and
had a paper drawn up which set fourth
an agreement between Otto and Gra-
ham leasing farm owned by Otto to
the latter. He also drew up a receipt
and forged Otto's name thereto, pur-
porting to show that he had paid Otto
500, and then returned home, inform.
ed the neighbors of the murder, went
with them to the place where the body
lay, and, after assisting them in bring
ing it home, gave himself up to the
proper authorities. On his introduce
tion into the county Jail, he was un-
concerned as to what he had done, and
as to what the result would be. With
but few exceptions, from that time to
the present, when asked why he COM
mitted the crime, he has replied that
it was done in selfdefeuse, and in a
moment of anger; that Otto threw an
axe at him first, and that he killed
Otto by throwing the same in return.
He was tried and convicted last
Friday. When asked if he had any
thing to say, he rose, and said: 81

Judge Dwight then addressed the
prisoner, and sentenced him to be
hanged on the 21st of December.

The Rattle Of a Belle.

Considerable excitement was created
among the young unmarried men of
New York last week by an annouce-
ment which appeared in the CONNER
ciaL Advertiser, to the effect that on a Ger.
tain evening a beautiful heiress was to
be rallied away 70 some lucky swain
at the Fair which was then being held
for the benefit of the Founding
Asylum. Thereason given for this ar
parent sacrifice was that the young
lady in question considered marriage
lottery at best, and she was as will
ing TO be disposed of at a rattle as any
other way. The prospect of having a
chance to obtain wealthy wife by in
vesting five dollars proved an irresisti-
BILE attraction to those of the male sex
whose affections were uLplaced, and
whose pockets we're not overburdened
with superluous funds. Accordingly
on the appointed evening, the Fair was
thronged with galaxy of brilliant
but impecunious youngmen, each with
the requisite amount for single
chance at least in this lottery which
was to confer on some favorite of for
tune not only wife, but abundant
means for the support of herself and
husband.
But alas for human expectations !
1t was all a mistake--a cruel, harrow
ing joke Marriage may be a lottery
in the opinion of many young and at.
tractive heiresses, but the one who
was willing to be disposed of at a raf-
fe was not to be found. Heiresses
must be wooed as we'll as their less
pretensious ssters, and those who 'as,
pire to win the hands of the wealthy
and beautiful. must still expect that
parents and guardians will not be as
particular as ever before in examining
their bank accounts and financial pros
poets, and yet beautiful and elegant
ly dressed belle was rafled off accord
ding to announcement, but though her
attire was costly, her beauty was all
waxen, and wealth did not exceed her
market value as a doll.
1t is but fair to state that this inno-
cent joke, which was, nevertheless, the
means of stirring up the smouldering
fire of love in many manly breast,
was perpetrated by we'll known
journalist, and not by the ladies of the
Fair, who were as innocent of it as
any of the puzzled beaux, who, how
ever, were as thoroughly sold thereby
as the waxen belle which summoned
them from their clubs and evening en-
tertainments.

Ida Lewis.

A correspondent wonders how Ida
Lewis can handle the oars with such
power. She weighs only one hundred
pounds, is thin and not at ali the per-
sonage the popular notion has made
of her. Her hands, it is said ARE large,
her feet ditto, and what is not very
pretty in heroine whose name has
been enshrined in song, she does not
show much respect for Indy Murray.
But then she performed a gallant act,
and the people honor gallantry wher-
ever thOy md it. BY the way, Ida
was mother at that time Of her re-
cent marriage-a mother and not a
widow. A certain captain in the navy
was the lover of the lighthouse keep
er's daughter when he wore the uniform
of a mid-shipman.

Douglass Estimate Of Clay.

Dom Piatt gives the following as
Stephen A. Couglass' estimate of Hen
ry Clay:
He was consummate actor, not so
honest as Tom Benton, nor, in my opin-
ion, so able. Tom had not old Harry's
trick of oratory, but he had most
Statesmanlike views, and he was dead
in earnest. Old Bullion believed in
the constitution and Tom Benton.
Henry Clay believed in nothing. 1
have no doubt but that he used to
laugh in his sleeves at his Great
American System, as he called the tar
iff, and wonder how men could be
gulled by such stuff. He swore like a
trooper, drank to excess, and was pas
sionately fond of gambling. He was
the most dangerous person for young
man to know, for he made these vices
respectable. To this day they swell
up in the South and say, "Be God" be-
cause the great Harry would swell up
and say "Be God" He gambled in his
rooms, and shrewd observers used to
say that he used his facinating pow
ers of conversation to win his adver-
sary's attention from his carjs-or, if
a young man, would awe him with ut
ter confusion.

CHAPTER 11r.-Dusr TO DUST.


The funeral passed off in a very
pleasant manner, nothing occurring to
mar the harmony of the occasion. By
a happy thought of Reginald's mother
the wives walled to the grave twenty
abreast, which rendered that part of
the ceremony thoroughly impartial.
That night the twenty wives with
heavy hearts sought their twenty re-
spective couches.
In another house not many leagues
from the house of mourning, a gray
haired woman was weeping passionate

A Mormon Romance.
CHATTER 1.-the MoRMoN's DEPARTURE

CHATTER 1.-THE MORMON > DEPARTURE
The morning on which Reginald
Gloverson was to leave Great Salt
Lake City with mule train, dawned
beautifully.
Reginald Gloverson was a young
and thrifty Mormon, with an interest
family of twenty young and handsome
wives.
His unions had never been blessed
with children. AS often as once year
he used to 60 to Omaha, in Nebraska,
with a mule train for goods, but al
though he had performed the rather
perilous journey many times with en-
tire safety, his heart was particularly
sad on this morning, and filled with
gloomy forebodings.
The time for his departure had ar
rived-the high spirited mules were at
the door, impatiently champing their
bits. The Mormon stood sadly among
his weeping wives.

gularly sad at heart this morning; but

l know that every night, as 1 lay down

and you, Mollie, with your cheeks so

each so good and beautiful, will come
to ME in sweet dreams, will you not
dearests?
"Our own," they lovingly chimed,

"And so farewell!" cried Reginald.
"Come to my arms, my own!" he said,
"thdt is as many of you as can do it
conveniently at once, for must
away"
But he had not gone far, when the
offhind mule became unhitched. Dis
mounting, he essayed to adjust the
trace; but ere he had fairly commenc-
ed the task, the mele, singularly re-
factory animal, shorted wildly and
kicked Reginald frightfully in the
stomach. He arose with difficulty and
tottered feebly towards his mothers
house, which was near by, falling dead
in her yard, with the remark, "Dear
mother, l have come home to die!"
$50 see," she said; "where's the
mules?"
Alas! Reginald could give her
no answer. In vain the heart-stricken
mother threw herself upon his mani
mate form, carrying;
"Oh, my SONNY on!-only tell
me where the mules are, and then you
may die if you want to-"
In vain-in vain Reginald had
passed over.
