A Great Sorry Well Applied.

The following is an extract of a Wash
ington letter to the New York Standard:
The general acceptance of the "new de-
parture" by the Democracy, shows to
what straits that party is reduced. | over
heard conversation in the postotfice de-
partment few days since, between a con-
vert of the new departure and an old liner
still clinging to his idols which clearly illus
trates the position. The old liner was fierce
in his denunciatiOns of the new religion,
characterizing it in language more fOrcible
than polite, when the convert, laying hand
on his friends shoulder, said: Let me
tell you a story which | think illustrates
our position as party: young man am
bilious of literary reuown, wished to write
an essay upon the habits of the beaver. For
the purpose of cleaning some information
upon the subject, he went to an old
trapper of whom he had heard, and
experiences or knowledge of the habits
of the animal in question. "Wall,
stranger" said the trapper, II can tell you
a story about my dog and beaver, that
will be worth something, l reckon My
dog got after one OF them animals once,
and they had devil of time to see which
would beat; the beaver ran into the water;
the dog followed him onto log. over it,
under it, the dog gaining all the time on
the beaver. At last the beaver made for
the bank, the dog in hot pursuit. Seeing
no way of escape from the dog who was
pressing him closely, the beaver ran up
tree" Ran up a tree" exclaimed the as
pirant for literary fame; ''the beaver is
web-footed, and can't climb tree" Gen
orally not" replied the trapper, "but,
stranger, don't you see the beaver was
obleeged to climb that tree, for my dog was
crowdin' of him." my friend, continued
fba oopuort GEua orc ohlaaUaH RI hava
new departure, for the Republican party is

Tragedy i'm a Cotton Field.
The Memphis San brings this report:

The Memphis San brings this report:
From passenger on the Charleston train
from Corinth we learn the particulars of
most schocking tragedy, which occurred on
Friday night on farm just four miles
west of Rienzi, small station on the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad, and fifteen miles
south of Corinth, Mississippi. 1t appears
that Walter Lewis and James Saunders,
both colored, rented farm of twenty
acres from gentleman by the name of
Harris. 1t was agreed that they would
farm on shares, Harris furnishing the land
and farming implements, together with two
mules, and to receive one-third the crop.
Lewis and Saunders were to attend the
farm and divide the remainder. They both
went to work in earnest and planted twelve
acres in cotton, the balance in corn. Lewis
kept at his work steadily, but Saunders,
who did we'll at the beginning, soon became
quite worthless, and often refused to work
at all. Quarrels were of frequent occur
renee between them, but nothing OF
an alarming character occurred until
last Friday, when difficulty arose between
them as to the sharing of the crop, Lewis
claiming that as he had done nearly all the
work he was entitled to the largest share
Saunders objected and swore he would have
one third or kill Lewis, and to put his threat
into execution and make it stronger, he
went to Rienzi and bought himself large
dirk knife. He also managed to get drunk,
and in this condition he returned to the
farm, and going into the field where Lewis
was at work, he commenced abusing him
in a most unprovoked manner. This so ex-
asperated Lewis that raising hoe which
he had in his hands, he struck Saunders
deadly blow on the head, cleaving his skull
completely in two. Saunders dropped dead
almost on the spot. Lewis seeing what he
had done, fed, and has not been seen since.
Saunders was found, late Friday night, in
the field where he was killed, by parties
living near the farm, who had been to
Rienzi and were returning home. When our
informant passed Rienzi the citizens OF the
place were in search of the murderer Lewis.

Circumstantial Eyidence-How Mail
Robber was Detected.
From the San Francisco Bulletin. ]


The old saying, Murder will out" is so
frequently exemplifed that it has almost
become literally true. With some potency,
after the recital OF a recent incident, we
may remark that robbery will out" In
August last, an estimable young lady, a
resident of San Francisco, died. During
the following October, a lock of the de-
ceased's hair, together with two rings, were
placed in registered letter, and dispatched
toward the East. During the mail rob-
berry, on the twenty-secOnd of that month,
the letter in question was opened, and one
of the rings appropriated. When postal
agent Barstow took possession of the debris
in the mail car, he found the lock of hair,
one ring, and several pieces of the letter.
After considerable trouble, he managed to
decipher the name of the party forwarding
the letter, and that Of the party for whom
it was intended. The writer of the letter.
lady-furnished him with minute de-
scription of the missing ring, mentioning
that its principal feature consisted of
heart crossed by two clasped hands. This
clue was furnished to the detectives, and
through its aid they captured one of the
leading spirits of the robbery. But for the
ring, which he had devoted to the adorn-
ment of his own clumsy hand, he might
have escaped unscathed He has taken up
his abode at the Nevada State prison. The
ring has been returned to its owner.

Marshal Howe, OF Wyoming, removed for
cause has played shrewd trick on the ad-
ministration to pcrpetuate his hold on
office. When Milroy, his successor, reached
Cheyenne, he was taken in by Howe and
his friends, and made to believe that no
man could live on the salary paid, and that
Cheyenne in particular, and Wyoming in
general, was a bad place 10 migrate to. So
great was the effect produced on Milroy,
that he left for the East on freight train
rather than stay for the express.

The trial of Naval Officer Latin is to com
mence at Herkimer, New York, on a charge
of perjury, which appears to have no better
foundation than very natural confusion of
statement about matter of which it is
hardly probable any man would feel inter
ested enough to retain a very clear memory
of details. The Naval Officer appears to
have stated that certain bond had not left
his possession during certain period,
when, on the other hand, another gentleman
claims to have had the bond in his own
possession at least for time during that
period. AS the Naval Officer, however,
certainly had the bond back again as good
as ever, and nobody is the worse for its
temporary change Of hands, the whole pros
ecution looks like case of tweedledum and
tweedledee. 1t would have looked less like
trifing if the thrifty gentlemen of Herkimer
had prosecuted Mr.. Latin for his unpar-
alleled oversight in mailing the bond in mis-
take for campaign document.-New York
Herald.
