A Sad Story.


The Dubuque Herald has the fol-
lowing account of the sad death of
an alleged criminal: "Many of our
readers will remember that In the
year 1854 the Treasurer's safe of Bu-
chanan county was blown open and
robbed of large amount of money
($26, ,o00,) and that two young men,
one named Rorobacher and the other
Knight were accused and convicted
of the robbery and sent to the peni-
tentiary. After remaining In prison
for several years, both were pardoned
by the Governor, Rorobacher first,
and subsequently knight. There
was very much doubt in the minds
Of the people In the vicinity as to their
guilt, and when Rorobacher was re-
leased and returned TO his former
home, ho was received with quite an
ovation by a large number OF the
most respectable and intelligent citi-
zens OF Buchanan and Black Hawk
counties. He has since resided in
Waterloo, i'm comparative poverty,
having expended his whole property,
from $4,000 to $l5, ,0eO, in defending
himself and knight from the charge
on which they were convicted. The
people of Independence were startled
little more than week ago, by the
arrival Of Knight among them, ghast-
ly, emaciated, dying. They remem-
bered him a young man full of life,
energy, hope and spirit, defending
himself proudly and haughtily. He
came saying, 1 am too weak and worn
and weary for reproaches, but will
Buchanan county give to the dying
pauper a pillow, and to the dead con.
vict a coffin and grave? Very
many of the citizens called to see
him, and none looked upon the pale
face, and heard the dying lips pro-
test his innocence, without q feeling
of awe and shudder at the thought
that would obtrude, that a terrible
crime had been committed against
the pitiful wretch before them. Dy-
ing pauper and pardoned criminal
though he was, death claimed him
In a few days and with his last
breath he asserted his innocence
He lies buried at Independence now,
and 1t Is at least happy thought
that there Is no fear of an unjust
Judgment i'm the court to which he
has appealed"

The Privilege or Proposing.

The London Spectator, thus closes
review Of Epes Sargent's "Woman
Who Dared" to propose to the man
she loved:
"It is strange that this demand
comes from the United States, from
the very place where the courteous
difference to woman, with which 10 Is
obviously incompatible, Is practiced
even to an excessive degree. Or do
the American ladies think they can
retain the old privileges, and also the
new? Will they, for instance, still
be able to indicate to man by a
touch Of the parasol, that he must
vacate some seat they may fancy,
while they have every power and
right for which these conces.
sions OF courtesy are really meant as
an equivalent? Why, the parasol
would become the awful instrument
with which they would order eff the
unresisting man to the church, or
wherever else their advanced wis
dom might choose the ceremony, IL
indeed they still cared for a ceremo-

indeed, that the whole order of our

ing" at her pleasure can be accorded to
woman. Atpresent, the woman who
chooses to do such a thing, uses an
enormous and most unfair advant-
age, which our customs give her, on
the implied understanding that IL
should not be SO employed. The
rules OF courtesy which make her
requests law must be abrogated i'm
view Of this contingency. There
must be no precedence, no Difference
nothing but the courtesy that Is ac-
corded by equals TO equals. And
there must also be the equal purse on
both sides. A man proposes because
he can offer an establishment and
maintenance; q woman who can do
the same Is allowed to do something
very like proposing. TO share that
which they do not help to earn Is a
thing which, IL men would endure
1t, they could hardly venture. Such
state Of things may come to pass.
Happy he who can congratulate him

ments are made already, and who
will and In the possibility OF such an
event new motive for hoping that
they may be permanent.

A SAD SToRY.--The Scranton Re-
publican, tells mournful story Of n
casualty on the Lackawana &
Bloomsbury railroad last Saturday
night. A Mrs. Gaven, with three
children, two little boys aged five
and seven years, and babe, was at
the depot at l'ittston, TO take a train.
She put her two little boys In car,
and then returned 10 the station for
her babe. Meanwhile, the train
started. The station n-mastsr signall-
cd the conductor to stop, and tina
boys screamed at being carried away
from their mother. But it seemed
that the train neither stopped nor
was any care taken of her children.
The mother telegraphed to put them
off at Scranton. Nothing further Is
known OF them until they wers
found on the railway track about two
o'clock Sunday morning--the
youngest one killed and the other
lying insepsible, with his arms cut
OFF close to the shoulder. The poor
little wanderers had been run down
by train In deep cut; but how or
why they were off the track no one
knows. We have rarely read more
distressing story.

There was a meeting on a railway

entered the ears. A gentleman arose

She had just seated herself, when

Both the parties sprang to their

the gentleman said, "Is 1t possible?
How strangely we have met! But
let us part friends. 1 am going

The lady replied, 1--WE may
part friends and wiser than we once
were. My experience las been Bit

same. You will oblige me by step

shook hands and separated. Ten
years ago q petty quarrel resulted In
divorcing the parties. Both had
since married, and lived to learn
that the old love had not died out.
