The Repentant Burglar.

The world of fiction hardly contains a
more thrilling chapter than an incident
which marked the life of the late Rev.
Mr.. Lee, Presbyterian minister of the
village of Waterford, n. Y.
Mr.. Lee was sitting in his study, about
midnight preparing discourse to deliv-
er to his congregation, when he heard II
noise behind him, and became conscious
that some one was in the room. Mr..
Lee exclaimed: "What is the matter ?'
and turning around in his chair he be.
held the grim face of q burglar, who was
pointing a pistol at his breast. The ruff
fan had entered the house by a side
window. supposing all the occupants
were locked in sumber.
"Give me your watch and money"
said he, land make no noise, or / will
fire.
"You may put down your weapon,
fer shall make no resistance, and you
are at liberty to take all the vaIuables
l do possess" was Mr. Lees calm re
ply.
The burglar withdrew his menacing
pistol, and Mr.. Lee said:
81 will conduct you to the place
where my most precious treasures are
placed
He opened the door and pointed to the
cot where his two children lay slumber~
ing in the sweet sleep of innocence and
peace.
"These." said he. "are my choicest
jewels. Will you take them?"
He proceeded to say, that as minis
ter of the gospel he had few earthly pos
sessions, and that all his means were
devoted to but one object--the education
of the two motherless children The
burglar was deeply and visibly affected
by these remarks. Tears filled his eyes.
and he expressed the utmost ,orrow AT
the act which he had been about to
commit.
After few remarks by Mr.. Lee, the
would.be criminal consented to kneel
and join in prayer; and there Ia that
lonely house, amid the silence Of the
midnight, the fender poured forth his
penitence and remorse, while the rep
resentative of religion, Of peace, and
good told him to Ego and sin no

The Iowa Women Suffrage Society
net at Des Moines last Thursday. This
was the second meeting of the Society,
which was organized at Mt. Pleasant in
June, 1871, and was largely attended,
and resulted entirely to the pleasure and
satisfaction of those interested in the
work for which it was called into exis-
tence.
For the ensuing year, Mrs. Amelia
Bloomer, of Council Bluffs, was elected
President, and Mrs. Slavery, of Des
Moines, Secretary.
The most noticeable feature of the
Convention was the unanimous laying
upon the table of resolution that the
Society denounce the doctrine of free
love, upon the ground that it was let
ting down the dignity of the Conven-
ton to denouce that in which none sus-
pect its members of believing.

The Cuban war is about reaching another
phase. Its current conditions seems to be
that, although the Spanish troops have beaten
down all organized opposition, and killed
many of the leading insurgents, and crossed
the centre OF the island from shore to shore,
the Cubans continue to fight and maintain
their cause by predatory bands, who destroy
the crops and istrike blow wherever they
can. They have just received the advanced
guard Of sympathizers recruited in South
America and Mexico. Another and more for
midable expedition for their relief, numbering,
it is said, 1000 men, are on the eve of depart
ure from Canada. These allies are picked
and trained men of the Canadian volunteers,
bloOded in the Red River campaigns, and will
be off in August. This revival of the insur-
rection is met by more vigorous Spanish &C.
ton, the Madrid government being resolved to
conquer at any cost. Thus there is far prom
Use that the campaign this winter will be more
| active than its predecessors. Should the Can
adian assistance go forward promptly in such
numbers as is indicated by the dispatches,
there is the Likelihood Of as severe fighting as
at any time. The continuation of this re-
| bellion shows how determined the Cubans
| have been. But the interference in their be.
half of Canadian volunteers is as singular as
| any episode in all the leng war.

BUTLER INTER VIE WE'D.

The report of an interview with General
Butler is published in the Sunday Morning
Chronicle. In this the Generals opinions
upon all matters relating to the gubernatorial
question appear to be freely ventilated.
The General commences by explaining why
and how he came to enlist a division of New
England troops in 1861, and in doing so came
in conflict with Gov. Andrew. He repeated
his recently promulgated views on the en-
forcement of the laws, to the effect that all
should be enforced-that the chief magistrate,
under his oath, has no option about it; has no
RICH to allow his private judgment Of the ex-
pediency Of any law to interfere with its ex-
ecution; asserting that recent criticism had
served to confirm his opinions thereon. He
agreed to the constitutional provision that
the "seseral magistrates and officers of Gov
eminent invested with authority, whether
legislative, executive or judicial, are their
tine peopie's) substitutes and agents, and are
nj All umes accountable to them" and so be-
oeiieving, ne supposed the Chief Magistrate
is chiefly responsible to them for the power
whlcn they nave entrusted To him to execute
their iavs--his constitutional designation be-
Ing the CuPfeue Executive OF the Common
wealth." The General defended his to,mar
remarks on The Paris Commune, to wit that
they (the COmmune) were fighting for the
right of local self-goyernment. In the tear
ing down of the Vendome Column, the Com
mune had, he said, ''the example of our
fathers q q precedent who at the beginning

SHIPBUXDING.

The decline of shipbuilding in Maine is
theme upon which the democrats indus
triously harp, attributing it to the govern
ment and the tariff. The Yarmouth DEM
ocrat whom "Percicn interviewed is made
to say: "The only real way to help the
Maine shipyards is by the absolute repeal
of the tariff
Now if it is the tariff which has caused
the decay of shipbuilding in Maine, of
course where they have no such tariff
shipbuilding should flourish, if that alone
is the difficulty. The Yarmouth democrat
gives the impression that the Provinces
are a paradise for shipbuilders, because
they have no tariff there. But the fact:
show that shipbuilding is as much de-
the Tribune from correspondent in Que.
bee, gives the following facts in relation
to shipbuilding in that city, where they
have no tariff to interfere with the bust
ness:
In the past ten years, the business of Que
bee has greatly fallen of, so far as ship-build-
ing il concerned. Time was when the banks
of the ST. Charles, which joins the st. Law
renee at Quebec, were lined three or four
miles from its mouti, with ship-yards, and
dozens of vessels were in course of construc-
ton every year. Six years ago was in
Quebec and looked at those ship-yarls and
saw the activity which prevailed. Yesterday
went to the st. Charles and saw only here
and there ship on the stocks, and even on
some of these work was entirely suspended.
"What is the reason of this?" asked of the
gentleman who accompanied me. "The rea-
sons are various" he answered. 'sIron ships
are driving wooden ones out Of existence, in
the first place, and the year is not far distan
when we shall have no more wooden ships fol
ocean service. Timber is not SO abundant a
formerly, the price has advanced. Many O
the workmen have emigrated to the western
part of Canada or to the United States-mor
of them to the latter than to the former"
Clearly then it appears that there ar
other causes than the tariff to create tn
decline in wooden shipbuilding. Beside
the increase of iron vessels, there is tn
increase of steamers in the coastwis
business. the establishment of lines @
steamers supported " foreign govern
ments, with which our vessels have t
compete, the abolition of the Californi
carrying-trade. by the Panama route ant
Pacific railroad, all of which have had al
adverse influence upon shipbuilders, bu
all unavoidable by the abrogation of tn
tariff or any other step that the govern
ment has been able to take. When tn
Quebec ship carpenters are obliged fror
lack of employment to emigrate to tn
United States, and the shipyards there ar
deserted as in Maine, it is useless for
Yarmouth democrat TO complain abou
the tariff or point to Canada as an Edo
RADIO tor shipbuilders.

demagogue, of course suppose that others do
as they would do. He went back over his
record to prove that he had always favored
the rights and measures of the workingmen,
and had taken the lead in the ten-hour move
ment.
Upon the subject of woman suffrage he
had no new step to take or thought to express
He had, as a member of the House Judiciary
Committee, examined the proposition whether
by the Constitution of the United States the
right of suffrage was not already secured to
woman, and had arrived at the conclusion
that the Constitution of the United States
has granted to woman the right of suffrage as
against all State laws whatever. To the
uuestion what he would do if defeated before
| the Republican Convention to nominate
candidate for Governor, the General replied
with smile that he had never contemplated
such a contingency. The General conversed
at some length on the New York riots. He
doubted whether the streets of cities ought to
| be used for professions of any partisan char
acter, or any but subjects substantially repre-
senting the whole people and in which the
whole people take part. He thought there
was sort of ''moral treason" in professions
of adopted citizens to celebrate events in for
eign countries. He thought also there was
unnecessary and frightful destruction of life
in the late occurrences in New York city,
which with little forethought on the part of
those having the matter in charge, might have
well been avoided. He criticised the action
of the military; troops in time of peace should
never march through streets with loaded mus
kets. 1t is time to load when the assault is
made, and the act of loading would intimi-
date the mob. He did not object that the
military fred too soon, but that they did not
fire under the orders of their superior officers
on careful consideration of the question on
the spot He objected, however, to General
Shaler's phrase of ''military retaliation" He
said "The military have no retaliation in
case of mob. They are to execute the law
as a stern duty and in the most forcible man
ner-not to retaliate and slaughter. They
are the arm of the law and execute its bidding
when, after the fullest consideration, its COM
mand is given.

Considerable excitement was caused in 1867
by the voyage Of Capt. John Mihrs from New
York to Southampton, on raft twenty-five
feet long and thirteen feet wide. The Non
pareil, as the raft was called, was exhibited at
the Sydenham Crystal Palace, and Mihrs and
his two adventurous companions we're the OBJ
jects of much curiosity. Their vessel was
specially designed as a life-savng apparatus,
and was composed of three inflated rubber
tubes, encased in heavy duck flanges. Across
these cylinders series of planks were Sc
curely dashed, answering the double purpose
of keeping the cylinders apart and affording
seats for the crew. The tubes were inflated
by the aid of pair of bellows. The Nom
pareil had two masts, between which canvas
tent was erected to shelter the adventures
from incement weather. The raft on which
Captain Mihrs now proposes to cross the At
lantic is fifteen feet long, and seven feet six
inches wide, and has only one mast; but it is
in its construction similar to the former one.
The NonpareiI sailed one hundred and eighty
miles in twenty-four hours, and it is expected
that the new raft will make still better time.
The anchor used is peculiar, and consists of
nothing but canvas, the mouth of which
is kept open by ring. tits claimed that this
anchor will keep the raft stationary, when
large ships drag their anchors. The buoyan-
cy of Captain Mihrs's vessel is remarkable,
fifty five men having been carried on it at one
time. He will be accompanied on his voyage
days. He intends to start on his perilous
voyage next month.
