SENT TO STocKToN.-P. Mcmillan, the individ-
ual who gave himself into custody last week
upon a self-preferred charge of theft, proved to
that at the date of our last article he had been
taken by Deputy Sheriff j. C. How to Miners
Vile, that he might find the lost money. AL
though diligent search was made by the prisoner
and others, no trace of the missing property was
found. The failure to discover the coin and
dust seemed to worry Mcmillan and when it was
apparent that he had not pointed out the right
place, McMillon said to Mr.. Draper " Tom,
don't believe / took that money after all"
Draper replied, Pat, never suspected you"
To which McMillon responded, "Well don't
know, sometimes think did take it," After
he was brought back to town, Mr.. Draper pre-
ferred charge of insanity and Mcmillan was
brought before Judge Felter, and examined by
Drs. Montague and Chauncey, who found him
to be insane. He was therefore committed to
Stockton and he left Weaverville for that place
Thursday morning in charge of Mr. Jos, Craig.
Taken altogether, this is an unusual circum-
stance. This man was we'll liked by every one
( who knew him. At Minersvlle where he has
been living for some time, everybody esteemed
him highly. Messrs. Nichols and Draper, the
gentlemen who were robbed, never did suspect
him and don't now believe that he took their
money. 1t seems that Mcmillan knew where it
was deposited and that circumstance in connec-
fion with its abstraction preyed upon his mind
until he wrought himself into the belief that
Everybody suspected him. looked upon him as
the thief, and finally that he really did take it.

The PlagiariOS.

A correspondent writing from Mazat-
Ian saws: Zone of the peculiar pro-
ducts of the society of this country is
the pLaqiario or kidnapper. The ainbi-
ton of his life is to abduct some
wealthy parsonage and hold the victim
in safe-keeping until ransomed oy a
large sum of money. The ptaga'r1o is
not particular whether his game is
man, woman or child, so that gold in
abundance is one of the possessions of
the abducted. There have been some
extraordinary cases of kidnapping, the
latest among them being that of a Mrs.
Charles, a Frenchwoman, who short
time ago went on visit with her hus-
band and other friends to the residence
of a Mr.. Polak, at a place called Mollno
de Flores, near Otumba. Mr.. Charles
and the other visitors had just gone
out to take look at things about the
house, when nine bandits entered and
boldly seized Mrs. Charles, whom they
carried off as unceremoniously as if she
belonged to them body and soul. The
lady yelled for help and screamed in
agony, but not until it was too late.
Immediately chase was given, but with
out avail, for the plagiarios were well
mounted on feet horses, and having an
accurate knowledge of the most i'm
passable Businesses, made their way to
them. The next step will be note ad-
dressed to her husband or friends, in
which will be stated, in the most polite
terms, the conditions upon which the
lady will be returned to her lord and
master. Women captured in this way
are seldom injured, but it may be i'm
agined that they suffer torture enough

not noticing its occupation by any one,
of course | thought was recovering a
lost article of my own."
"Oh, then," said Miss Mary, "you
are the gentleman who lent us
the umbrella, so kindly some months
ago in London? Harry, this is
James and my escort. Don't you re-
member ?''
This familiarity may have been pleas
ing to Harry, but it by no means fol-
lowed that it was to me; so remarked
as coldly as possible:
Miss Graham, again beg your par
don for the interruption and as the
umbrella is pleasant for your use, allow
me the pleasure of transferring the
ownership to you.
Gentlemen" she said, "allow me to
introduce you to each other. Mr.. Thorn
ton, this is my cousin, Mr.. Harry
Graham, brother to the young lady who
was with me that day. Harry, Mr..
Thornton, the gentleman who saved my
life the other day."
Did she not "accent" cousin pretty
strongly? l thought she did at least !;
and it made me take heart, and act
more pleasantly; and in five minutes
I had the pleasure of finding that
though the young lady was on the
freest terms with Graham, it was only
on account of the relationship between
them.
To explain my appearance, gave the
same excuse as had to Wyndham, and
was forthwith put to work to make a
sketch of the umbrella, and with them
beneath it, which, of course, had, only
wishing that Graham was in my place,
and in his.
After while | noticed old Tim
Hayes, the fisherman, launching his
boat from the shore, going off for an
afternoons fishing, and Graham seeing
the same, it suddenly occurred to him
that he had promised to go with the old
man that afternoon SO, begging the
young lady's leave, he placed her once
more under my escort with the UNI
brella, and l need not tell you the re-
suit, for here comes Mary, and she
would be angry if she knew that / had
been divulging our love affairs, even to
tell the story of our old blue cotton UNI
brella.

More Big Indians Found i'm Virginia.

Not to be behind Canada, Virginia
puts in claim to the possession OF
cave full of dead Indians, the Peters
burg Inder giving the tale as quoted be-
low, on the authority of gentlemen
whom it asserts to be of the highest
character and credit, who have seen
with their own eyes, and touched and
tested with their own hands, the won
derful objects of which they make re-
port as follows
"The workmen engaged In opening
a way for the projected railway between
Weldon and Garysburg, struck on Mon
day, about one mile from the former
place, in bank beside the river, cat
acomb of skeletons, supposed to be
those of Indians of remote age and
lost and forgotten race. The bodies ex-
humed were of strange and remarkable
formation. The skulls were nearly an
inch in thickness the teeth were filed
sharp, as al those of cannibals, the en-
amel perfectly preserved; the bones
were Of wonderful length and strength
the fsmur being as long as the leg OF
an ordinary man, the stature of the
body being, probably, as great as eight
or nine feet. Near their heads were
sharp stone arrows, stone mortars IN
which their corn was brayed, and the
bowls of pipes, apparently of soft friable
soapstone. The teeth of the skeletons
are said to be as large as those of horses.
One of them has been brought to the
city, and presented to an officer OF the
Petersburg Railroad. The bodies were
found closely packed together, laid tier
on tier, as it seemed. There was no dis,
cernable ingress into or egress out OF
the mound"

Two Lives.
BY GEORGE W. SEARS.


They sat with their small white feet in tn
brook,
Two country maidens, of beauty rare.
Kate. with her bright espiegie look,
And blue-eyed Blanche with her golden hair.
The air was fragrant with new -mown hay,
The wild bee wrought with q drowsy hum!
And they chatted the dreamy hours away
With girlish plans for the year to come.
And she with the eyes of sparklingjet
Would be content as a farmers wife,
To shun the follies that wear and fret:
Forthe quiet pleasures of country life.
Then Blanche, with her laughing eyes of blue.
Shook down a river OF sunny halr
That rippled and flowed in the golden hue
Der bosom and neck, and shoulder bare.
"And l." she said, " will live in the town.
With lackeys to go or to come at call;
And l should he proud II men mlgnt crown
Me queen of beauty at rout or pail.
my husband shall be millionaire"
All, poorly you guess the future life:
On you, with your beauty ripe and rare,
: Shall fall the lot OF a farmers Wlfe.
And red Tipped Kate, with her midnight curls.
Her brow shall glisten with gems and pearls.
Her table with plate and costly wine.
But she shall long for the new mown hay.
And the gushy shadows on upland leas,
And sicken and tire of her splendid way,
And sigh for the brooks, and birds. and bees.
And YOU will sneer at your narrow lot.
And weary and tire of your household cares.
And each shall covet what each has not,
And pine for the burden the other wears.
Oh city dame, and oh farmers wife.
Each from the other too long estranged;
Yewere two jewels of love and life,,
If but the settling were turned and changed.

A DeacOn,S Mite.

The rumor reaches us of an AM using
incident that happened in an up town
church last Sunday. 1t appears that
the house was crowded to an unusual
extent that day, aud one of the deacons
was noticeably happy over the thought
that the collection would be very large.
The thought worried him very much,
and faint visions Of heaping plate en-
crossed his mind to such an extent that
he heard but little of the sermon, and
moved his ponderous form about in the
seat with nervous anxiety for the time
of taking up the collection to approach.
At last the warning came-the organ
pealed forth its rich notes, and the
building trembled with the sound.
Every deacon rose to his feet promptly
with brightly shining silver plates, and
among them was the obese church Off
cial before alluded to. He thought to
effect a decoy, and with great difficulty
ran his hand down into his breeches
pocket, abstracting therefrom what he
thought was silver half dollar, which
he placed in the plate, and commenced
his rounds of collecting. He noticed
that every one he passed the plate to
laughed, and he was at loss to know
what it meant. Finally an old brother
in the corner noticed the cause of mer
riment, and bringing their heads very
close together, he whispered to the
deacon: Brother -, think you
made mistake as to the decoy you put
into the plate" The deacon glanced at
the plate, and turned red and pale al
tarnoto1u for bo caw there q 1apOo wb TO
faro check, which his embarrassment
magnifed into the size of saucer. 1t
is needless to say that the obnoxious
thing was put out of sight in a hurry,
and the prevailing opinion is that
Brother - had been caressing the
tiger the Saturday night previous.

Lord Gladstone.

Mr.. Gladstone has made a singular
exhibition of loss of temper on the must
ings. on account of the success OF the
" Battle of Dorking." In a recent
speech at Whitby he referred to that re-
markable squib as part of system of
alarmism'' by which the people of
England were to be prejudiced, if posi-
BILE. against the Liberal Government.
This was not lamentable want of tact,
but discovery of extreme sensitiveness
of which member of the cabinet
should never have been guilty. The
Battle of Dorking'' has meanwhile been
published in the Ssoiss Reuieao formerly
of Geneva), in German translation, for
the benefit of the Continental public.
1t will, perhaps, interest Mr.. Gladstone
and the British public to learn that an
honest farmer of Surrey, according to
the Richmond Enquirer, has written to a
relative in Virginia, that all this rub
bish in the papers about battle be-
tween the Germans and the English at
Dorking is blasted hoax that he lives
very near Dorking, and that nothing OF
the kind has occurred there at all.

Vanity.

The sun comes up, and the sun goes down.
And the day and night are the same as one;
The year grows green, and the year grows Drown
And what is it all when all is doneY
Grains of sombre and shining sand,
Sliding into and out of the hand.
And men go down in ships to the seas.
And hundred ships are the same as one,
And backward and forward blows the breeze,
And what is it all when all is done?
A tide with never a shore in sight,
Setting steadily on to the night,
The fisherman droppeth his net in the stream.
And hundred streams are the same as ones
And maiden dreameth her lOve-lit dream,
And what is it all when all is done?
The net of the fishers the burden breaks,
And after dreaming, the dreamer wakes.

Beautiful Ireland.

We know, of course, that Ireland is
called the Emerald Isle," and that
the color of the emerald is green, but
never had it entered into our inn
agination that there was anywhere in
this world to be seen such verdure as it
charmed our eyes to look upon in the
rural districts of Ireland. The slopes,
the knobs, the dells, fields of young
grain, over which the breezes creep like
playful spirits of the beautiful the
pastures, dotted over with sheep of the
purest wool the hillsides, rising up into
mist-shrouded mountains, are all cover
ed with thick carpets of smooth, velvet
green. But Ireland should also be call
ed the Flowery Isle. There is not
spot in Ireland, believe, where blessed
nature can find an excuse for putting a
flower, but she has lut one-not only
in the gardens and in the meadows, but
upon the very walls and the crags of the
sea, from the great blooming rhOdoden-'
drons down to the smallest howret that
modestly peeps forth from its grassy
cover. The Irish furze, so richly yellow,
covers all places that might otherwise
be bare or barren the silkworm de-
lights everywhere, from thousands of
trees, to "drop its web of gold;" the
blooming hawthorn, with the sweet
scented pink, and especially the white
variety, adorns the landscape and the
gardens; wall-fowers, of every hue and
variety, Chamber to hide the harshness
of the mural supports; the beetled
cliffs of the North Sea are fringed and
softened with lovely flowers and if you
kneel anywhere almost upon the yield
ing, velvety carpet, you will find little,
well nigh invisible, fowerets, red, white,
blue, and yellow wrought into the very
woof and texture. Ireland ought to be
called the Beautiful Isle. The spirit of
the Beautiful hovers over and touches
to living loveliness every point.-PdN

does he say, my dear?" "Why, he says

isn't at all, is it ." "Well, child, sup
pose you find out for yourself?" How
can |, grandpa?" "Get your Bible,
and see what it says" "Where shall L
begin" Begin at the beginning"
The child sat down to read the Bible.
When she had read about half through
the second chapter of Genesis, she came
back to her grand father, eyes all bright
with the excitement of discovery.
