4 Desperate Character.

A negro murderer in North Carolina,
by name Luke Johnson, appears to be
pretty remarkable character He was
first taken up for larceny, and negro
witness living in little log cabin in
the woods had testified against him be-
fore the Grand Jury He tracked this
witness to his home one night, and,
poking his gun, loaded with old nails,
through a crack, he shot him dead.
He was Immediately arrested and lodg-
ed in the jail. He got ont the same
night, and was arrested and carried to
the Warren county jail This is a
strong Jail, and is fenced around by a
strong rock wall, and there are fifty
three bulldogs kept III the jail-yard.
Luke was confined in aclose cell, and at
last the authorities thought they had
him safe. But he took q rock out OF
the floor that weighed five hundred
pounds, and crawled under and got to
the door of the jail; but here he stop
ped on account of the bull dogs, and
he stood there IN the door and waited
for the ialler to come and "put him
back" But the authorities were afraid
to trust him much longer, so they took
him back to Nash county, and he had
his trial He was sentencedto be hung
by the neck till he was dead. This
time they handcuffed him securely in
the jail, with cuffs made to order. and
also put on ankle-cuf1s, locking them
securely, and then they had a chain
that ran from his handouts TO his
ankle-cutfs, and this chain was locked
through a big iron bolt, and ring
in the floor. He was allowed
sitting posture in common split
bottom chair, and with his hands he
reached down, chained and bucl1ied,
and took the round out of the chair,
and running it into the ring, twisted
it out, breaking the ring into twenty
pieces. There was wire in some way
connected with this ring, and with this
he picked the locks on his cuffs, and
got his hands and feet free. Then with
piece of the iron link he forced the
locks on the three iron doors locked on
him, and also the wooden one at the
entrance of the jail, and in this way he
made his third escape, letting out with
him another negro prisoner. He is a
mechanical genius, and during the war
made buggy out of wood, with white
oak springs, and without piece of iron
in it. In this buggy he used to ride to
church.

A Literary Burglar,

What Is known to the inhabitants OF
Pittsburgh asa =" literary burglar has
been successfully at work at the Alleg
heny Library IN that city. He seems
to be an exceedingly skilful indiyidu-
al, since he leaves no traces of any
kind. He works by night, or in the
daytime while the librarian is at his
meals, just as the fancy seizes him.
His last exploit was on Thursday last.
when he came In while the librarian
was at dinner and cleared the
tables of the fresh magazines which
had just been put out that day; and
yet there is not the slightest clue which
gives hope that he may be found out.
Finding it impossible to secure the
thief, the directors have adopted a new
plan to protect their property, and have
fastened a large chain, by means of
staples, in front Of each case, running
all the way round. This is something
like locking the stable door after the
horse has left; at any rate, it viii do
very well as al illustration of that say

NELSON'S AGED LOVER.
X Used i'm Spite OF HerseIf-The Queen OF
Song in u Police Court.


From the N Y Sun of Wednesday
Justice Scott was yesterday called
upon to adjudicate in singular case,
the memory of which will remain with
him as long as he lives. The COM
plainant is none other than Christina
Nilsson, the renowned songstress, and
the defendant one Charles Theodore
Busch, a German musician of three
score, whose heart had been pierced
with Cupid's shafts until his aged head
had turned. Mile. Missions complaint
against the senile lover was preferred
in low, sweet tones that thrilled the
blushing Justice, and filled the Essex
Market court room with music.
He annoys me much your Honor, "
said the silver-voiced queen of song. 3
He follows me everywhere. If Iwalk
in the street, he is at my side; If l en-
ter a door he is with me. He foolishly
believes that he loves me, and that l
am essential to his happiness. Please
tell him to give me peace.
While Nil. Nilsson was thus plead
ing, poor love -lorn Busch's eyes follow
ed every movement Of her lips, and his
ears drank In every sound of her mel
itluous voice. Edglng nearer and near
er to his fair enslaver he seized the
corner of her fur cape, and bearing it
hurrledly to his lips, kissed it repeat
edly in the ecstacy of his alteration.
"He says, your Honor" continued
the fair complainant, blushing, "that
[ must marry him
"You shall not be troubled by him
again, Mademoiselle, said the Justice,
with smile. Mr. Busch, | shall re-
quire you to give bonds in $500 to keep
the peace toward this lady for six
months"
Il is said that the ardent Busch not
only followed Miss Nilsson and annoyed
her with silly speeches, but that on one
occasion he actually stole a kiss from
her rosy lips. He had previously gone
so far as to intrude himself into her
private apartments, from which the ser
wants promptly elected him. The kiss
was taken yesterday morning. Mile.
Nilsson lost no time III securing the SER
vices of Officer Doran, who took Busch
into custody, and carried him before
the Justice.

Desperate Struggle with an Express
R0bber.

A dispatch from Memphis, dated
Friday, says:
This morning, while VIM. Pinkerton,
In company with Detective Connell,
was bringing Hilliard and harrington,
alias Clark and Barton, the two ex-
press robbers arrested near Nerova,
Mo-, from Cairo to Columbus, on the
steamer, Clark asked Pinkerton to go
on the guard, as he had something to
tell him. No sooner had they reached
the guard than Clark, though heavily
ironed, snatched Pinkerton's revolver
from his belt, cooked it, and presented
it at Pinkerton head, saying, 6 | have
you now." Pinkerton called to Con
nell, who, springing to his
side, knocked up the pistol as it was
discharged, the ball grazing Pinker-
tons temple. A desperate struggle
ensued during which Clark fell over
board, passing under the wheel, and
sank. It is supposed that the whee
struck him. At all events he never
rose again. Barton had made a full
confession, and Clark knowing this at
tempted to kill Pinkerton for revenge.
Barton was formerly a brakesman on
Nashville & Northwestern Railroad.
He was brought to Union City, near
where the robbery was committed, and
lodged in jail.
A dispatch this evening from Robert
Pinkerton says: Levi HARRINGTON,
brother of Hilliard, was captured to-
day at harrington, ILL.,, after terrible
struggle. He will be brought to Ten
nessee for trial.
These brothers are notorious horse
thieves and murderers, and the South
ern Express Company has for over two
months had from 20 to 40 detectives on
the track of these men"

Diamond Smuggling---Heayy Seizure,
The n. 7. Tribune says:

inc n. L. Tribune says:
Col. Whitley, of the Secret Service
Bureau, has been expecting, for six
weeks past, the arrival at this port, cer-
tain jewelry and diamond smugglers,
whom he particularly desired to arrest.
He has long known that some persons
of high standing in this city were en-
gagged in the business, and were en-
pioying agents to make regular trips
across the Atlantic, for smuggling pur-
poses.
1t was also known that these agents
had found SO little difficulty in bring
ing the smuggled goods ashore and dis
posing Of them, that they had become
reckless. These facts were obtained
from one Of Col. Whitley's agents in
New jersey, who had succeeded in get
ting the confidence of some of the
steamships employees cognizant of the
smuggling, on toe German steamers
that land there.
On Thanksgiving day the steamer
Westphalia, of the Bremen line, arrived
at HobolZen, and the detective who was
attending to the matter soon become
convinced that several of the passen-
gers had contraband iewelry in their
possession. One man in particular,
pointed out to him by his informants,
he followed to hotel and ''shadowed''
until yesterday morning. in order to
trace his connection with other SNUG
glers
Just as the culprit was giving up his
room in the hotel, the detective touch
ed him on tho shoulder and said, Il am
Secret Service officer, and arrest yon
on the charge of smuggling" The man
whose name is suppressed until his
confederates shall have been seized
gave himself up at once, and delivered
to the officers about $4,000 worth OF
goods. Colonel Whitley expects to
seize twice as much more within two or
three days, and to capture the rest OF
the gang.

BY LAURA c. HALLowAY.
Down beneath the murky waters,
Where no light hath ever been,
Lies the deep root of the Lily,
Mortal eyes hath never seen.
Firmly anchored in the darkness,
Through the long cold Winter night,
But the voice of Summer calling
Draws the Lily to the light.
Often on the darkest waters,
Mid its leaves like emerald boats,
With its silver cup upholding,
One bright star, the Lily floats.
Darling, be thou that white Lily,
Anchord safely in the dark,
Floating on hfe's turbid waters,
Shining still, one golden spark.
Live, Sweet Lily, for US, for al who,
Trusting thee, but need thee more,
Feel myself still safely anchored
On the unseen, angel shore,
And through all hfe's varied changes
Let us watch the dawning power,
Shut, like golden stars of beauty,
Ii thy heart, poor Lily flower.
