BEAUTIFUL IRELAND.

We know, of course, that Ireland
is called the Emerald Isle" and
that the color of Emerald is green,
but never had it entered our irnagi-
nation that there was anywhere in
this eorld to be seen such verdure,
as it charmed our eyes to look upon
in the rural districts of ireland. The
slopes, the knolls, the dells, the fields
Of young grain, over whicbthe breeze
creeps like playing spirits of the
beautiful; the pastures, dotted over
with sheep of the purest wool, the
hillsides, rising up into mist-shroud-
ed mountains, are all covered with
rich carpets of smooth velvet. But
Ireland should also be called Flowery
Isle. There is not spot in Ireland,
l believe where blessed nature can
find an excuse for putting flower,
but she has put one-not only in the
gardens and in the meadows, but up
on the very walls and the crags of the
sea. from the great. blooming rho
dendrons, down to the smallest flow
eret that modestly peeps forth from
its grassy cover. The Irish furze, SO
richly yellow. covers all places that
might otherwise be bare or barren;

from thousands of trees, to drop its

A TEXAS TRAGEDY.

A gentleman from the neighbor-
hood OF Grimes county, some FIVE
miles from Neyesota, where the sad
dest occurrence which we believe we
have ever recorded. took place last
Saturday night, has given us some
particulars additional to those already
published. Werefer to the accidental
killing Of his wife, by Mr.. Briggs
Goodrich, q kind husband, as we
learn, and respected citizen.
There were. it seems, several rob-
bers in the house, and Mrs. Goodrich
hearing them, had aroused her hns.
band, and he not being able to find
his pistol had taken his bowie knife
and was in pursuit of the thieves
He had struck at one Of them, and
another had passed him inside of the
house, and he seems to have fastened
outside, and around to the window of
his own bedroom, which he knew to
hoisted, with the expectation of inter
cepting the escape of some of the
burglars.
It is said that chloroform had been
used by the thieves, but not sufficient
ly to produce stupefaction. Yet it is
likely that the feeling of faintness
caused by the inhalation of cboloroform
induced Mrs. Goodrich to arise from
the bed where she had been left by
her husband and TO go to the window
for air. There she was found by her
husband, and as the night was so dark
that he could discern only the out
lines of her figure, he naturally imag-
ined that he saw one of the robbers
about to pass ont through the win
dow. Then came blows bearing all
that the human mind can conceive of
the terrible-blows by which hus-
band took the life of his own wife
with the knife. We learn that he is
distracted, and can not be trusted
alone but is guarded constantly to
prevent the commission of suicide
Mrs. Goodrich is represented as very
accomplished lady, and it is said that
she died with words of sympathy for
her husband upon her lips. In the
utter CONSERVATION and desolation
which followed the terrible tragedy,
we are informed that the only child
of the marriage, which is still almost
an infant was seen with its head pill
lowed upon the slain mothers breast,
begging her TO awaken and grant it
an evidence of recognition.-Housfon

The recert appointment OF Mr..
Thomas Murphy as organist to the
Church of the Holy Innocents, II
Thirty-seyenth street. created an ex-
element in Roman Catholic circles.
The history Of this gentleman is high
~ interesting aud romantic. On the
LIST of August, last year, Mr.. and Mrs.
Murphy arrived in New York. steer
age passengers, in the good ship Ply
mouth Rock.
Long before the they arrived it be-
ca e evident to the officers of The
vessel that they were no ordinary
steerage passengers. Mr. Murphy 5
wife attracted unusual attention.
She was petite blonde, of great re-
fnement. and possessed of much per-
sonal beauty. Her manners were
those of an educated lady, and she
seemed altogether out of place in the
steerage of an emIgrant vessel. There
was certainly mystery in the case
and as soon as the couple arrived ir
New York, Sun reporter was detailed
to solve it. After some search he
succeeded In discovering the follow
ing facts :
Mr.. Murphy came from England.
where for many years he has followed
his profession as musician with
great success. His fame reached the
ear of the Earl Of Gainsborough Who'll

SEVEN YEARS 4 PRISONER
AMONG THEINDiAsS.
A HORRIBLE STORY.


On Tuesday last n French boy
named Boullion Wood, made prisoner
by the Blackfeet at the st. Cloud mas
sacre, in 1864, arrived at Manistec,
Michigan, on his way to his uncle at
Grand Haven. At this point he
gained the first intelligence of his
relatives. He tells the following story,
and from a rigid cross examination,
and the factsthat il is true story OF
st. Cloud, and his being able to mi
nutely describe his uncle, there can be
no doubt of his honesty. The Red
skins attacked his fathers family and
killed all but himself and younger
sister His father. Peter Wood, was
scalped and tomahawked. His moth
er was ripped open alive, her entrails
taken out, her infant son torn from her
arms and impaled upon the fence.
His two sisters, aged respectively
20 and 81, were nailed by their hands
TO the wall, scalped, and afterwards
tomahawked. The boy, Boullion,
then about twelve years old. was com
PEELED to witness the dying agonies of
his mother, and tainted at the sight.
On recovering he found himself and
little sister captives. The Blackfeet
carried them to the western slope of
the Rocky Mountains, and on arriving
cut off with a tomahawk the left arm
of the hoy, and with knife cut the
girls ears nearly off, leaving them
hanging. This was to mark their cap
tives. Here the children were sepa-
rated and have never met since. He
remained under close surveillance un-
til the time of his escape, subsisting
for nearly seven years on raw meat
and Indian fare. At first, before he
understood their language, they abused
him dreadfully, but after he acquired
that to some extent, they treated him
better. The medicine men tried hard
TO cure his arm, but failed, and the boy
suffered with running sore until his
escape. About year ago while the
camp was asleep, he made his escape,
travelling along without gun, or any
means of securing game, snbsisting on
herbs, roots and Indian potatoes, until
he struck the first white settlement !;
Pixies Peak. Here he was cared for,
and his arm re-amputated by DIR. Bass,
who took his history and is writing
his life for publication. lie made his
way by slow stages, mostly on foot to
this point, passing railroads and steam
boats, yet unable to get passage, as
none believed him. Here he met
friends and was taken charge of by
Mr.. Charles Paggest, who ascertained
the truth of his statement, raised a
purse and purchased pass for him to
Grand Haven. The attention of Sem
ator Perry will be brought to this
case, and he will be glad to make an
effort to have his little sister sought
for by the government. The boy is
an honest simple Frenchman, and bears
upon his person the marks of his ter
rible torture. He wept when he de-
scribed the terrible murder of his peo-
pie. Hundreds more will have TO suf-
fer before the government gets the
true idea of Indian hellishness and
cruelty, or learn to deal with them as
other wild beasts are dealt with.I
