Message from the Dead--A
Singular Warning.

The Bangor (Me.) Commercial
prints the following as a fact :
A former resident of this city
some years ago moved to Cincin-
natl and wentinto business there.
Some time since as he was on
his way to his place of bu-
siness at his usual early hour in
the morning, when going past
a side street, one which he had
never had occasion to use, he
distinctly heard a voice which
said, go down this street )"
but, not being of a superstitious
turn Of mind, he continued on
his way for a few blocks; when
the impression grew so strong
that he retraced his steps and
went down the street indicated
by the voice. He had gone but
a few rods, when the voice "a
gain said, "GO in there ;" he
looked and found himself op-
posite a small third-rate hotel.
Going into the bar-room, which
opened on the street, the first
sight that met his astonished
eyes was the bar keeper holding
ND a coat of a peculiar cloth
and color for the examination
of small knot of idlers. He
at once recognized the coat as
belonging to a friend of his
whom he had last seen in Maine
during his visit home. Upon
making inquiries he found that
his friend lay dead in the house,
and finding that there was an
evident disposition to plunder
the valuables and clothing Of
his dead friend, he took charge
of the body and saw it proper
ly buried, and the property sent
home to his mother. Had itnot
been for his remarkable warm
ing, the dead man, dying among
strangers, might have gone to
the dissecting-room Of the med
ical college, and his effects to
heartless thieves. What makes
the story the more wonderful is
that this gentleman had no idea
that his friend was in the city.

Two very significant events
have occurred since the ad-
journment Of the Cincinnati
Convention. One Of them was
the election of Ferry to the U
nited States Senate over. the
Radical candidate by the COM
bined vote of the Democrats
and Liberals, in the Connect
cut Legislature, and the other
was the virtual instruction for
Greeley and Brown given by
New York Democrats to their
delegates to the Baltimore Con-.
ventiOn.

a Story Of Two American Con-
greSSmen.

A Story Of Two American Cons
greSsmen.
Mack in Missouri Democrat
Butler has been characterized
as the American Vidocq, be-
cause he always calls in the aid
of a detective to assist in the de-
struction of his victims. He
understands the business, and
in general he executes it well.
But Farnsworth got a head of
him just once-though, as the
sequel will show, his triumph
did not last, for the reason that
the house in which he lived was
quite as CLASSY in its construc-
tion as Mr.. Buffers. While
the personal feud was at It's
highest, Mr.. Farnsworth hap
Ipened to hear of a small child
somewhere in New England
who so nearly resembled the
Massachusetts member that you
would think it was that identi-
cal gentleman seen through the
wrong end of the opera-glass.
Forehead, face and strabismus
were all Decentralization
strong as proof of Holy Writ
that b. F. Is. was IN part respOn-
sible for. the existence of that
little citizen, whose name was
not Butler. FarnsWOrth .smelt
a sweet revenge in this; sent to
New Eng land Photographic
likeness of the little one, and
put it in her pocket to produce
it as a clincher in some future
denunciation Of Butler in the
House. He gave Butler to un-
derstand, through a friend, what
wasin store for him, and thought
he had effectually spiked the
guns of the Massachusetts, menu
ber. So he had for a time. But
b. F. B. is not the man to let
any body be ahead of him very
long. He Immediately began
to inquire what were Mr.. Farms
worth's ways oflife at the Cap,
itol. He was not long in ascer-
tanning that Mr.. +. had afemale
friend in the Treasury Depart
ment, and that between the
twain the relations were not of
the purest. God had rot JOIN
ed them together, and yet they
were very seldom asunder ex-
cept in daytime. Here was Il
chance for Butler, and ] need
not say that he fully aYailed
himself of it. His first point
was to get the 'slady" dis
charged from the Treasury De
partment. This was not difficult.
tarnswOrth was away from
Washington at the time, and
could not well come to her re-
lief. She became impecunious,
and thus fell still closer into
Buffers net. Benjamin's de-
tectiye watched her, put herself
into communication with her
and the sequel was that
her trunk was sold to liquidate
her board bill; Buffers agent
bought it, and Butler is to-day
the happy possessOr of a large
and ware ed assortment ofletters-
from Farnsworth to his "friend.'
Thus each stands armed al
gainst the other. i have de-
5cribed the weapons of the con-
1ict, and leave it to the readers
own task to characterize the
warfare. The existing truce
between the two is not peace,
out a cessation of hOstilities
BORN of mutual knowledge and
mutual fear. Should the war
De renewed again in the House,
t will be interesting, if not III
will It not? -

! Inc biggest HaiI-StOrm, or the
Toughest Yarn, of the Season.
Greeley Speech-making Under
Difficulties.
From the Topeka Kansas) Commonwealth
On the 9th of May party of
forty, composed Of New York
bankers and milIionaires from the
mining regions of Pennsylvania,
'gith their ladies, including four
TopeAans not millionaires,) were
travelling on the narrow gauge rail-
road lrOI Denver south.
To the right of the railroad, a
half mile off, at the base of the
mountain, could be seen two or
three monuments, that place being
the outer rim of the enchanted
park. A large number of the
passengers started off to get a
nearer view of the scenery. While
there dark clouds began to gather,
which betokened storm. Some
OF the men hurried bac4 to the
cars, but the TOpekans, one of
the millionaires and a travelling
Jew concluded to face the music
and see what was to be SEEM
One of the Topekans had got on
the top of one of the lowest mon
uments, which was some twelve
feet high, and commenced making
a speech for Greeley. He had but
just commenced when he was
struck Oh his head by something
which jammed in his stove pipe
hat, and which at the time, he
supposed tG be a stone thrown at
him by one of the boys. But they
kept coming thicker and faster,
and he was not long in learning
that he was in the midst of
terrific hail storm. All huddled
together on the lea side of the
rocks, and lodged the hail as best
they could. Such a scene is rare
ly witnessed even in the Rocky
Mountains. The air was black,
the thunder reverberated through
the mountains and the lightning
shot across the sky. Cattle came
believing down from the plains
on the east to get the protection
afforded by the timber which
skirted a little mountain stream.
After pouring down for half an
hour the hail lay all over the val
ley six inches deep, and after one
hours hard and steady rain they
were three inches deep. We a.
teTward learned, from reliable au-
thority, that in a valley three
miles east Of US, space four rods
wide, for long distance, was COW
cred four feet deep with hailstones.

Inthe Alps glaciers flow down
into the valleys, where they are
melted by the sun and become
rivers; whereas in Greenland,
although pressed forward to the
waters edge, they cannot melt
but break off in large bodies,
and become icebergs. The
Glacier is like a river, because
the central parts moves faster
than the sides; because its top
moves faster than its bottom;
andbecause the point of swift
est motion follows the sinuosi-
ty of its sides. -r--..s-5,s -
