An A6rnit soonndraI

A gentleman the other day stepped
into the store of a Paris merchant
followed by servant, The gentle
man, who wore his right arm in a
sling, was taten for a military pen
sioner, and the merchant gladly
placed before him such articles as
he asked for. When he came to set
tie the account, however, he found
be had not sufficient money, SO he
asked the merchant to write note
from his dictation to his wife, which
he would send to his hotel by his
servant. The merchant unsuspicious-
" wrote as he was desired, and on
sheet bearing the name Of the firm,
these words: "Send me Immediately
by the bearer, two hundred thalers.
Yours, Robert" He smilingly clos
ed up the note, with the expression,
"Oh, len, we are namesakes." The
servant took the note and soon re-
turned with the required sum. The
gentleman paid for his wares, gave
them to his servant to carry, and
went away. Some hours after, the
wife Of the merchant visited him, and
after talking Of sundry things, sud
denly asked him why he had sent for
two hundred thalers. The man was
rendered speechless with astonish-
ment when he saw what cheat had
been played upon him.

A Wild chioago Beauty.

A friend recently directed my at,
tention to what she was pleased to
call the "hoydenish ways" of young
lady who is noted on our thorough
fares for her beauty and sprightli-
ness, and at home for her innocence
and pleasing good nature, allied to a
fondncss forall kinds ofadventurous
boyish sports. l watched her close
ly on thus being reminded of her
presence, and noticed that she was
rather over dressed, a fault, doubt
less of some presiding power; that
she wore rings and bracelets on a
shapely white arm; that her small
feet we're tightly bestowed in high
heeled boots, and out of a mass of
drapery and artificial restriction ma
ture was constantly bubbling over.
For she did the most unheard Of
things in the few moments that |
watched her; went down on her
knees to help forlorn child find five
cents with which she was required
to purchase yeast. posed herself be-
fore the head of Beatrice in pic
ture window, and never noticed the
'nice young man" within staring at
her; stood on one foot on the corner
and cheered two dogs engaged in
mortal combat; gave penny to an
urchin who made faces at her; tied
up an unraveled old woman who had
lost her way; looked back and
laughed at the vagaries of a drunken
man who imagined himself particu-
larly sober; Whistled three bars of
"Shoo Fly" under her breath, in re-
sponse to q boyish alleygator;
laughed in the face of an insipid
young man with blonde features,
and then ignored him with glance
ofcontempt; then suddenly changed
into a very proper lackadaisical
young lady as her aunt's carriage
came in sight. Do you know it
seemed to me that that girl felt at
every step that too much civiliza-
ton was curse?

Since the completion Of the Pa
cifc Railroad now nearly a year
since, several individuals and parties
Of the MOngolian race have visited
tbs interior of the United States.
We are informed by telegraph dis
patches, that the indefatigable Coop
manschap has 1900 en- route for
Tennessee, but these are mainly la
borers; a few have been ofthe better

In Chicago agentleman representing
the more advanced class of Chinese,
Mr.. Kim Wing, who is making the
tour Of the Western and Southern
States, to examine for himself the
facilities for providing homes for

OF permanently settling in America.

as yet made their way to our shores,
and who will come not to interfere
with labor, but to build up and de-
velop portions of the country not yet

by an American gentleman, Mr..
Webster, and they are now visiting
the friends of the latter at Madison,
Wisconsin. He is about thirty-fve
years ofage, is connected with a bus
mess house in San Frrncisco, where
he has resided twelve years, with the
exception Of q brief visit to China.
He reads, writes and speaks English
with ease, and i3 master of some
dozen or more of the Chinese dialects.
He says of the Ilains, 81 think nv
people will some time make this waste
land worth something" The beau
tiful rolling country, the cultivated
farms, and the operations of plowing,
cultivating corn, moving grass and
reaping grain between Omaha and
Chicago on the Chicago, Burlington
& Missouri River Railroad, excited
his admiration, and were the subject
ofnumerOus notes. He believes that
if a more liberal policy is pursued by
our Government towards the Chinese
many of the better class would come
here, not to accumulate little money
and then go back, but to live here
permanently. A short stay will be
made in Wisconsin, when a leisurely
tour will be taken through Missouri,

Murder Of General Grants 0ldScout
and Spy,
1t will be remembered by many
readers that Bonner, in his New York
Ledger about year ago, publishe d
for several months the personal his
tory and deeds of Captain c. S, Bell,
a scout, detective and spy for Cen
erals Grant, Sherman, Thomas,
Sheridan, and others Of our army.
After the conclusion of the war,
Grant retained him in service, and
within a year he was sent to Texas,
where be has been under the com
mand Of General Reynolds, of the
Fifth Military District. The follow
ing letter was received from Clinton,
Dewitt county, Texas, recently:
CLINTON, DEWITT Co., June Z, 70.
DEAR SIR. An occurrence of the
most mysterious character has
plunged our usually quiet village in
to the greatest excitement. Cap
tain c. S. Bell, the removed "Union
scout and syp," whose war history
has been given in the New York
Ledger, was attacked by five men in
the Guadaloupe bottom, about two
miles below this place, at a late hour
yesterday, and is supposed to have
been brutally murdered by them.
A negro living on Whites plan
tation first brought the news, and
party headed by Jack Helm, our
Sheriff, at once proceeded to the
spot, guided by the negro witness ofI
the deed.
A bloody trail, where a heavy |
body had been dragged, was found, |
and upon tracing it up the party
reached the banks of the Gauda-
loupe River, over which the body
had evidently been thrown.
Returning to the spot where the
trail first started, three other trails
were found and traced by horse
tracks and blood drops for some dis
tance and lost. A very fine silver
handled navy revolver was found
near the scene of the murder, with
&C. S. Bell, Scout" engraved on its
handle. Five barrels of the pistol had
been freshly discharged.
The negro said he saw the firing
rom n distance, that one man was
shot of his horse and then five men
ode of, leading the fallen mans
lorse; they passed near him, and he
aw that three of their party were
wounded and bleeding. He then

lying, but happened to look up, sawi

Remains Of a Murdered Woman

EDITOR COMMERCIAL I'm the year
184S, Burnett R. Poorman and wife
(Bissey Poorman) resided on their
farm near Luke's Corners, in Fulton
township, this county, and it. was
then generally understood by their
neighbors that they had a great
many family quarrels. Bissey Poor
man had in her own right $640 that
she had received from her fathers
estate. She refused to let her hus-
band have any portion of this money
and it was generally known in the
neighborhood that she kept it in the
house. During the summer oS 184S
young man, who had been a soldier
in the Mexican war, resided in the
family and wors ed some for Poorman
On his farm. The soldier had lived
there but short time when both the
soldier and Bissey Poorman was
missing and have neither of them
been heard of or seen in any shape
till last Wednesday morning, as
Jacob Luke's oldest son was leisurly
vending his way to school with his
cane in hand, and when about the
center of the public road at
said corners, in placing his cane
down it ran into the skull Of q hu-
man being as it proved to be, when
the cane was raised with the skull on
the end. 1t was spot in the center
of the road where the hogs had late
ly been roofing, The boy immedi-
ately ran home and informed his
father of what he had found, where
upon Mr.. Luke and his neighbors
took some shovels and dug down
about three feet, where they found
the balance of the bones. The
bones showed that the lower limbs
had been doubled over and laid on
the abdomen. They proved to be
tue bones of a female and of the
stature of Bissey Poorman. There
was also found a gold ring, knownsto
have been hers. The body was not
entirely decomposed and there was
a very strong oior from the corpse.
R. Poorman resides at Meta
mora, this county, at the present
time. On last Thursday at least 300
persons visited the remains. There
is an intense excitement.
There are two theories about the
matter, One is that the Mexican
soldier murdered her and took the
the other is that Barrett R.

ter than he is willing to disclose.

General BIinkerhof published
modest letter. some days ago, in
which he reluctantly confesses that
he might possibly be induced to sup
plant General Beatty in Congress.
Having thus neekly cast his bread

Meanwhile, the indications are that
the pressure on him to run will not
be overwhelming. A good deal
more missionary labor will be re-
quired to work up the Eighth Dis
trict to the pitch of nominating a
Republican candidate because he is
a professed Free Trader, and has

The General has had aspirations
that way for number of years, but
has never been aDle to satisfy the
people so well as himself that he is
the right man for the place. The
Eighth District is not yet ready to
accept a Free Tradist.
TIE STRONGEST argument that can
be urged in favor of the continuance
of the present administration is its
steady, persistent and rapid payment
Of the public debt. 1t argues econ
omy retrenchment and reform,
practically applied, the results of
which the nation is experiencing in
its increased credit, and in the man
Hesitation Of its immense resources.
At the close of the month of May
the debt statement showed the debt
to be S2,4O6,562,37L78. Now, one
month later, the debt is shown to be
$2,386, ,35S,599,24 or exhibiting the
gratifying intelligence that duringthe
past month 500, 2O3, 3,772.54 of the pub
lie debt has been wiped out. This is
the legitimate result of the honest
and upright administration Of their
duties by the Republican officials,
and the highest encomium possible
to be bestowed upon President
Grant, is that his administration has
inaugurated a new era in the affairs
of the nation, which manifests itself
in economy and retrenchment.
"Profgacy and extravaganza, y" as
the Democracy charge, would not so

The Jewish pifIouItv in Ronns1

The Jewish Difficulty in Roumania.
After several weeks, in which the
most absurd and contradictory stories
have been told concerning the report
ed massacre of Jews in Romania on
the 28th of May last, the facts begin
to come with sufficient cleaness to
warrant a final return to the subject.
1t is also of some consequence that
the many conflicting opinions as to
the geographical location of the dis
turbed country can now be accu-
rately and definitely pointed out.
The difficulty began at Botuschanv,
the chief city of a district of the same
name, which was one of the original
thirteen subdivisions of Moldavia
proper. The town lies fifty-nine
miles to the northeast of Jassv, the
Moldavian capital, and near to the
Austrian frontier, as well as to the
river Sereth, tributary to the Dan
ube. The trouble grew out of a dis
pute between some Jewish merchants
and a peasant, regarding the genu-
ineness of a coin which had been
paid in exchange for grain. The
whole ROmanian population, espe-
cially the students in the towns. are
viciously opposed TO the Jews. and
were only too glad in the present in
stance for an excuse to attack them.
The riotous spirit once rampant,
there was an indiscriminate rush TO !
the Jewish quarters, doors were |
beaten down, men, women and chill |
dren beaten and maltreated. and |
property in some cases DESTROYED. |
A favorite method of treating a Jew
was to break all the glass in his win
dows, leaving the owner and his fam
lily to take their chances among the
stones and bricks which did the
breaking. No lives were lost and
there was none of the shooting or
burning of which we have heard so
much. Several hundred Jews have
been more or less wounded and
bruised, and the affair is a deep and
burning shame to the country in
which it happened. The police and
the government were in sympathy
with the rioters, no arrests were
made and no one interfered in be-
half Of the prosecuted Israelites. 1t
was n scene which Charles, the reign
ng prince, and the whole family of {
aohenzolerns to which he belongs !
should be heartily ashamed.-C1ece- :
