ported the fact to his brother limbs, and,
inasmuch as the dissecting room was barren
of q good, healthy subject since Fricke died
on the gallows, an excursion was at once ar.
ranged to the woods near Butler. Lamps
picks, and shovels in the hands of quartet
of fearless students were the results of pro

these gallant enthusiasts of science procured
q light two-horse wagon and set forth to Sc
cure the prize. The spot was reached just

it was robbed of its contents.
The stiff muscular body was snatched and
crowded into bag, in which many corpse
had previously found place. Homeward
came the party as fast as the spanking team
could bring them. At Freeport they had to
await train and the death-bag attracted
some little attention, which was diverted by
the boldest of the grave-robbers assuring the
curious that it contained nothing but potatoes.

CHRISTMAS CAROL
BY W. II. C. HOsMER.

The route of caravans is traced,
While journeyng through weary land,
BY skeletons that dot the waste
Half buried in the sand;
And, in his fearful march, how dfear
The footprints of the closing year.
Far down in Oceans hungry caves,
With dead men now their decks to man,
Lie ships that proudly walked the waves
When his brief reign began,
And Hope looks out upon the main
For home-retnrning sails in vain.
Since welcomed last was sweet Yule-tide
Crowns have been torn from royal heads
Bejewcled heirs of Pomp and Pride
Consigned to narrow beds;
A spectre, gliding by, has tanned
Hearts that at boundless empire aimed.
For Genius has the dirge been sung,
A hand of ice laid on his brow
In Senate halls the silvery tongue,
That thrilled, is frozen now;
From ashes how rekindle fires,
How chord anew the broken Tyres!
Bend mourntllly above the forms
OF beauty, that now perished lie,
Shielded from outrage by the storms
That darkened earth and sky.
We miss them ut the hearth ana board.
But happy are the long-def,(or.d.

The launty-looking female reporter of the
Tribune at the Woman's Suffrage Convention
recently held at Concord, N. H., gives a
dashing summary Of the clear -browed, broad
shouldered Mary Livermore's address on the
occasion. Referring to Myra Bradwells re-
cent rejection as a lawyer by the Illinois
Court, She said that that dodge would be of
no avail they needn't think that they were
always going to dodge the little woman, be-
cause she is going to keep on until she gains
her point. Mrs l.. attacked Chicago juries,
affirming that they are made up of the yilest
trash in that city. 1.-The country,n she said.
"is to-day in the hands of dirty political hacks,
who do nothing but feather their own nests. y
She didn't believe in any of this nonsense,
that man is the head Of the woman. The
head Of woman is the head she wears on her
own shoulders. You have emancipated the
negroes, sensual, degraded, debauchcd, but
yesterday the property of other men, and now
they come into convention and say, ''The
woman OF our race-may they never become
strong-minded" I'm glad they are to have
the ballot-its an educator. She referred to
Horace Greeley, and what she styled "the
soldier argument" II know women who
could whip Horace Greeley out of his boots

Mrs. JONES. Near the southern border
of this county, a singular trial in a church
took place u short time ago, which runs As
follows
A minister had been absent for q few days
on a spiritual tour, and, on returning home
late at night found the family all in bed and
sound asleep. He ate bite and went to bed,
but to his surprise, found, on waking up in
the morning, that strange woman was
snoozing by his side. (We shall call the
household Jones.) Mrs. Jones not expecting
Mr.: Jones, passed the night at a neighbors,
and the house girl not thinking any harm,
got into Mr.. and Mrs. Jones' bed. The story
leaked out, and Mr.. Jones was arraigned be
fore the church to account for his sins. His
only plea was that he thought it was Mrs.
Jones who was in bed, and when the girl
was asked for an explanation on her part (she
being a member also,) replied, innocently.
that she thought it was Mrs. Jones! The tri-
al was postponed for further evidence.

TAKING FISH BY LAMPLlGHr.

1t seems that light is quite Us attractive to
fish as to certain insects. In fact, all animals
are more or less pleased with bright light,
especially if the light is presented to them
in the midst of darkness. A writer in the
Turf Field and Farm says he was once tray
cling among the Jura Mountains and his
landlord asked him if he would like to have
some trout for supper. Being pleased with
the idea of having such luxury for his even
ing meal, he accompanied the landlord to Il
deep dark pool near the inn. He took with
him an ordinary glass-globe lantern having
two long tin tubes fixed to it on either side,
through which the flame was supplied with
air. Seated on q flat projecting rock, the
landlord slowly trust the lighted lamp into
the water Holding it there about a minute
he raised it carefully to the surface, and
around it were some twenty trout of different
sizes, pressing their noses against the glass
as if eager to get at the light Selecting the
largest trout he adroitly tapped them on the
head with his knife. They turned upon their
sides entirely dead, and the guests had an
excellent supper.
Now the question comes up: Cannot cur
fishermen, when the fish refuse to bite, pre-
pare lantern, well lighted, and let it down
INTO the clear waters of the ocean and there
by attract the cod and haddock so that they
can be knocked on the head and be taken as
easily rs the trout in the streams among the
Jura Mountains? If we mistake not, the pro-
tess; onal fishermen on the coast of France
have recently discovered the fact that fish are
attracted by the light, and are now taking
them in great abundance in river nets by
means OF powerful submerged lights. Per
haps some ofour fishermen may be induced
to try the experiment

THE division of the Radicals in Mis-
sour is spreading all over the State to all
the districts. local ones and nominating
conventions. In the fifth congressional
district the nominating convention has
Just divided. The division is on the tariff
question as well a. on the subject of con-
tinued prescription or restoration of the
franchise. The Chicago Times comment
ing on the matter, says: 1t is a note
worthy feature of this party rupture in
Missouri that the dividing line between
the restOratiOnists and the prescription
lists is also the dividing line between tree
traders and protectionists. All the con-
ventions Of the supporters Of Brown
affirm the Democratic policy of tree trade,
while all the conventions of the sup
porters of McClurg affirm the Radical
policy Of a protective tariff. Tee Radical
newspaper organs are therefore mani
testify right in describing the McClurg
wing as regulars" and in hurting at the
supporters of Brown the terrible epithet
of "bolters." The proscriptionists, IN
der McClurg and Drake, retain the prin-
cipIes of the Radical party; it is not very
important whether they have the "regu-
lar organization or not. Their platform
is suficientlt to prove their radical rela-
tionship; while the platform of their
opponents demonstrates their democratic
tendencies. 1t is wholly improbable that
these diverse elements in Missouri poll
tics will ever again unite"

ARTHUR ST. CLAM CoLYAR Isl now
stamping it as the supposed independent,
johnson platform candidate for Governor.
We regret that he should take SO decided
a misstep for his future, out of which no
good can grow to himself or the State.
We hsye before us a pamphlet containing
some of his speeches, delivered before the
convention, and one since his candidacy,
and sent out as a campaign document.
The pamphlet in his favor that
Eat eighteen years old he could not write
his. name" and that now he has "s,udied
English grammar, and mastered it"
We congratulate him on his i'm
provement. From this we are informed
that he rose step by step to be a
hrst-class lawyer, with ample practice,
and was subsequently elected to the Con-
fsderate Congress, as a member of which
he served with distinction. He favors
rigid economy, disconnection of the State
with railroads, and REIMBURSEMENT of
! State liens for bonds of the State, which
he thinks will contribute essentially to
the restoration of State credit. He de-
siros the adoption of means to encourage
immigration. He thinksthe penitentisry
| could be made self-sustaining and asouree
Of profit by employing convict labor in
the production of iron and coal, and
promises a total change of the peniten-
tiary labor system in the hope
less event of his election. He de-
nounces the system. of enforcing
payment of the interest of the 800 gold
bearing bonds as " taking of money with
out authority of law" and states the
sum annually collected in this behalf at
SlOl, s72,Sss. He proposes to show the ex-
tent and crushing effect of this burden,
and to rally the people for its overthrow.
In his speech of August 3, 1870, he denies
that he is a third party man, and evil
IDENTIFY indicates that he could cheerfully
have accepted the nomination, had he
been preferred to Gen. Jno. C. Brown. If
he persists in running, without furnish
ing ONE better reasons, We shall be
compelled to class him as q bolter with
Johnson, of whom there is a rumor that
he would like to be Governor himself.
