A Hard Story.

Out on the Pacific railroad, the
other day, a Kickapoo Indian saw
a locomotive coming down the
track toward him at the rate of
forty miles an hour. He thought
it was an imported breed Of bufia-
10, and he was anxious to secure
it, so as to take the prize at the
next annual exhibition of the
Kickapoo Agricultural Society,"
So he fastened one end of bis laSso
to his waist belt, and when the
engine got near enough, he threw
the moose nicely over the smoke
stack. Perhaps it is not necessa.
ry, but we may as well relate that
the locomotive did not stop. The
engineer and fireman witnessed
the most successful attempt to do
the flying trapeze made by any
Kickapoo Indian upon the plains
since the first of January, There
was an aboriginal funeral at the
next station when the engine ar
rived. The grave was not large,
for they only buried a small piece
of copper colOred meat tied, to a
string and enclosed in sardine
box.

A Murder Proved by a
Gun-Wad. .'- i7'-i

The circumstances attending
the trial and conviction of the
murderer, Skraggs, are interesting.
r. V. Richardson, the murdered
man, had been brigadier,genera
in the Confederate army, and an
attorney at law in civil life. His
abilities were above the average,
and such was the, blamelessness
OF his Life and character, that it
was not supposed that be had an
enemy except a former business
partner, who has left the country,
and is suspected of having insti-
gated the murder. On the 9th of
January last as Richardson was
sitting on the plaza of the hotel, he.
was shot by two men from be-
hind a loaded wagon standing, in
the yard. The, murderers,, were
not recognized except by a negro /;
and although Skraggs and Frank
Clark were arrested on his state
ment, their lives, in this State,
would hardly have been greatly
jeopardized by negro testimony
of SO vague character had no
evidence of a corroborative nature
been added to convince the minds
of'the jury. Q The wadding of the
gun which had killed Richardson
was picked up and carefully pre-
served. It. was a roughly torn
piece of a German newspaper.
when Skragg's |
house was searched, a double bar
relied gun was found, only one
barrel of which was loaded. "Ihe
load being drawn, the wad was
found to be piece of a German
newspaper, which fitted on one of
its sides to the piece which had I
been found in the hotel yard. |
| his was conclusive, and Skraggs I
was adjudged worthy to suffer the
'everest penalty known to the
aw. Clark, his alleged companion
n guilt, is to be tried duril g the
present month, and the Identified
ion by the negro--already SO re-
narkably corroborated in one case
will be quite likely to prove
'atal, since the only other witness
o the deed is dead. --GeenviHe !

An Expensive Lawsuit.

About two years age two
brothers named Kelsch, living
near Napoleon, in this county,
had q settlement, and a difficult
ty arose about a barrel of salt,
the price of which was three
dollars and fifty cents. They
commenced lawing, and the
suit was not finally terminated
until the last term of the Cir
cult Court. Geo. Kelsch was
obliged to pay his brother Blaz-
er $3.50 for the salt, and the
costs Of the suit, which amount
ed to three hundred and forty
nine dollars and seven cents.
That added to $3.50 makes
S352,57. Dear barrel of salt

include Attorneys fees, nor

a little itera of war which has a
strong meaning in it, and which
shows very plainly the Prussian
system Of war, which has been
so successfully carried out -
Prince de Metternich, after the

beuf; it is even said that he
addressed himself to a higher,

we did not believe it. Profit by
our experience they march in

THE Crown PRINCES GEN
ERALsHIP.-A London paper
thinks the Crown Princes mys-
terious delay before marching
upon Mcmahon at Sedan may
have been due to the fact that
he, his Generals and soldiers,
were in the heart of the cham
pagne country. Doubtless one
and all freely quaffed of the
sparkling nectar at the expense
of Rhoderer, Mareeaux, Held
sick, Piper, widow Cliquot,
and other champagne kingsand
queens, but NO delay occurred
for that reason. On the con-
trary the movements of the
Crown Princes army at that
time form part of one of the
most brilliant episodes of mill
tary history. Instead of push
ing directly ON Mcmahon at
the Chalons Camp, the Crown
Prince held back, thereby ex-
posing him (McMahonD ito the
temptation of going to the re-
lief of Bazaine. No sooner
had he yielded to this tempta-
ton, than the Crown Prince
gathered mp his forces In an
instant, and with lightning
speed swept around the hostile
army, driving i, it. across the.
Meuse, and ultimately, with as
siistance, into the Sedan trap.
A more mastery and brilliant
feat of generalship is not re-
corded in military annals. e,i'
