Sam. Hildebrand,s Death Confirmed.

Sam. hildebrand, the outlaw of Mis-.
souri,, has been reported dead about as
many times as DR.. Livingstone, the
African explorer, has been reported
alive and still travelling. Hildebrand,
however, persists in living down these
reports of his demise TO such an extent
that nobody paid any more attention to
TO the stories concerning him. The
consequence was that the report of his
death at the hands of Cons able Rag.
land, in Pinckneyville, H., on the 2lst
of last month, was very generally dis
credited. Since that date several news.
papers in localities where Uildebrand
was well known have asserted that he
was i'll alive. The Identification Of
Hlldebrand and the dead man Of Pinck-
NEVILLE has, however, been established
beyond a doubt.
On the third day after death the body
was taken up and photographed by an
artist residing at Pinckneyville. A copy
of the picture was sent to the Sheriff of
Washington county, Mo, as that officer
had taken active part in the effort to
arrest Iildebrand two years ago. The
Sheriff. from the general outlines, de-
clared ii TO be Sans face. The photo

Hilaebrand well. lie is identified with
out doubt by William Hildebrand, his
brother Joab Ringer, a schoolmate (;
j. w. s. Boyce, a citizen OF lrondale,
and NJ. Adams and Frank Simms, neigh
bors of Hildebrand On the presenta-
ton of the photograph to William Hide
brand he was very much affected, and
exclaimed, "That's Sam" When told
that some who knew Sam had failed to
recognize the picture, he said that any
one who had ever seen Sam lying down
was bound to recognize it. He mani.
tested great anxiety to obtain a copy of
the picture for preservation. The others
named above, some of whom had known
Hildebrand almost from infancy, have
without the least hesitation made the
most positive Identification, as the fea.
lures are perfect as at the moment OF
death. A serious wound, which he had
received at the time of former attempt
to capture him, presented very con.
spicuous scar, which rendered the iden-

Interesting TO Children.

An English clergyman named Furniss
has published book for children. 1t
is entitled "The Sight of Hell" and the
following is one of the glimpses which
it affords to the little ones: Little
child, if you go to hell there will be n
devil at your side to ttrike you. He
will go on striking you every minute for
ever and ever without stopping. The
first stroke will make your body as bad
as the body of Job, covered from head
to foot with sores and ulcers. The
second stroke will make your body twice
as bad as the body Of job. The third
stroke will make your body three times
as bad as the body of Job. The fourth
stroke will make your body four times
as bad as the body of Job. How, then,
will your body be after the devil has been
striking it every moment for a hundred
millions of years without stopping ?"

Tuxidermy,

Do you know what Taxidermy is 4?
If you look in the dictionary, you will
see that the word is derived from two
Greek words, meaning arrangement and
a skin. Hence taxidermy is the art of
arranging the skins of birds and ami
mails in such way as to make them as
much as possible look as if the creatures
were alive. If you stuff the skin OF a
bird, for instance, it will look something
Ike the bird, but if you take pains to
stuff it well, so as to fill out the parts
until they are of exactly the right
shape and proportion, and if you ar
range the stuffed neck in a natural po
sition, and support the poor little made
up thing properly on its own little slen-
der legs, you'll have something very ike
the bird, and that is what is wanted.
Some persons practice taxidermy as a
business. They are called taxidermists,
and they have fine chance for the ex.
ercise of knowledge and skill. Think
about it for moment, and you will un
derstand how many things are needed
before one can be good taxideImist.
First there is the selection of good speci-
mems of animals or birds, then the
proper preserving and arranging of the
skins, then the stutfing and the sup
porting and grouping and so on. Be
sides, false eyes must be put in, and
these eyes must always suit the special
bird or animal preserved. Some taxi
dermists prepare snakes and various rep
tiles with great care and skill.
The next time you go to museum,
notice the stuffed animals closely, and
see whether you think the taxidermist
lions body looks long drawn out and
he holds up his head like a zebra,
or if the tiger seems to have been just
seized with a cramp, or the kangaroo is
hopelessly stitijonted, you may be sure
somebody didn't understand his bust
ness.

A British IrOnclad.

America having revolutionized naval
warfare by theintroduction and adoption
of turreted ironclads, is outdone by Eng.
land, who now possesses the heaviest
floating armament in the world. This
distinction is gained by the launch of
the Thunderer, which is n turret ship of
4,407 tons burden, carrying four 35ton
guns and driven by engines of 5000
horsepower. In her Instruction, Mr..
Reed, the builder, claims the adoption
of all the excellencies of the American
monitors, with none of their defects.
Several totally new features have been
added that are claimed as improve
ments, but which may prove otherwise
when practically tested.

The New York Journal Of Commerce is rather
rough on the reform legislature when it says
that the provision in the constitution OF the
state which says members shall receive no pay
beyond the one hundredth day OF the session was
famed on the theory that the lawmakers could,
i! they had the will, ind the way to transact all
the business of the session in a hundred days,
ard that, to limit their compensation to that
period, would drive them 10 do up the work an I
get away; but that it could not be Ioreseen that,
IN more modern times, members would look for
their pay to the lobby, and that the per diem
earnings are so small in comps -ison with those
had from outside sources that the cutting off of
the constitutional stipend would be no serious
less to them.

John Bright, like all other British reformers,
and some in this country, gets more conserva-
tive as he grows older, and abandons the IDEAS
which have given him name and fame lust as
soon as they are likely to hinder insteadof help
ing him to advance on the path he has marked
out for himself. In reply to the recent hope Of
his friends that ne would be the first President
OF the republic Of Great Britain, should the
fortunes OF that country decree that it shall
pass from mOnarchicsl rule, he told them that
lie hoped long time would elapse before the
English people are called upon to decide be-
tween republic and a monarchy, and expressed
doubts as to whether republicans were his real
friends

In giving the testimony before the House Dis
trict Committee yesterday the venerable Francis
p. Blair, ST., showed that, a although advanced
in years, his mind still retains its Youthful ygor
and that he fully realizes the inestimable value
Of liberal system of Improvements Tor the cap
ital with which he has been identified for nearly
half a century. He does not take a narrow polit-
zeal view of the situation, but regards the ques-
tion OF improvements as a popular one, and one
in which every good citizen should feel an in
terest. The hopeful and even enthusiastic m an
ner in which he spoke of the future of the capt.
tai shows that he is animated by a spirit OF pro-
gTess which does honor to his silver hairs, since
il is less selfish in him perhaps than in younger
men who are looking forward to a long lease of
life and the fruitiOn of enterprises at present
projected. Mr.. Blair Is generally acknowledged
to have been in his more youthful days a keen
observer of men and things; his success in the
world not only as a statesman but a business
man Is a matter of history. His age and expe-
Iience eminentIy qualify him TO advise in the
matter of District Improvements and entitle his
opinions to the sincerest respect. His common
cable spirit of enterprise should shame the
BOUTbOLs who are doing their best to block the
wheels of progress in the District.
