A Murdorer's Uuoonoern-

[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 Woleott and
had 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 o
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

The Rattle Of a Belle.

x Considerable excitement was created
among the young unmarried men of
New York last week by an annouce-
ment which appeared in the CONNER
ciaL Adrertiser, to the effect that on Ger.
tain evening IA beautiful heiress was to
be rallied away to some lucky swain
at the Fair which was then being held
for the benefit of the Founding
Asylum. Thereason given for this az
parent sacrifice was that the young
lady in question considered marriage
a 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 a!
1t was all mistake--a cruel, harrow
ing joke Marriage may be lottery
in the opinion of many young and at
tractive heiresses, but the one who
was willing to be disposed Of at raf-
fe was not to be found. Heiresses
must be wooed as we'll as their less
pretensious sisters, and those who Tas-
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 raffled 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 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 we're 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.

Douglass Estimate Of Clay.

Dom Piatt gives the following as
Stephen A. Couglass' estimate Of Hen
ry Clay:
He was a 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. l
have no doubt but that he used to
laugh in his sleeves at his Great
American System, as he called the tar
if, 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
young man, would awe him with ut
ter confusion.

A MAN WITH TWENTY WIVES.
A Mormon Romance. /.
cnArTnn I.-rnn ,IoR,IoN'g DErAnTynn


The morning on which Reginald
Gloverson was to leave Great Salt
Lake City with a 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 a year
he used to go 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 filed with
gloomy forebodings.
The time for his departure had ar
rived-the high-spirited mules we're at
the door, impatiently champing their
bits. The Mormon stood sadI y among
his weeping wives.

l know that every night, as lay down
on the broad starlit prarie, your faces
will come to me in my dreams and
make me slumber sweet and gentle.
You, Emily, with your mild blue eyes,
and you, Henrietta, with your splen-
did black hair; and you, Nelly, with
your hair.so brightly beautiful golden;
and you, Mollie, with your cheeks so
downy and you, Betsy, with your

your-and the other thirteen of you,
each SO good and beautiful, will come
to me in sweet dreams, will you not

"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 1 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, snorted wildly and
kicked Reginald frightfully in the
stomach. He arose with difficulty and
tottered feebly towards his mothers
house, which was near bySfa g dead
in her yard, with the REM ,, Dear

Alas! Reginald could give her
no answer. In vain the heart-stricken
mother threw herself upon his mani
mate form, carrying;
"Oh, my SONNY son only tell
ME where the mules are, and then you
may die if you want to-"
In vain-in vain! Reginald had
passed over.
