A DELIGHTFUL LEGEND.-There is a
charming tradition connected with the
site on which the Temple of Solomon was
erected. 1t is said to have been occu-
pied in common by two brothers, one of
whom had family other had none.
On this spot was sown field of wheat.
On the evening succeeding the harvest
the wheat having been gathered in sep
arate shocks-the elder brother said to
his wife: My younger brother is una
BILE to bear the burden and heat of the day.
1 will arise, take of my shocks, and place
with his without his knowledge" The
younger brother being actuated by the
same benevolent motives, said within
himself: :" My elder brother has fami-
ly, and have none. will arise, take
of my shocks, and place with his
Judge of their mutual astonishment,
when on the following day, they found
their respective shocks undiminished.
This course of events transpired for sew
eral nights, when each resolved in his
own mind to stand guard and solve the
mystery. They did so; when on the
following night they met each other half
way between their respective shocks. with
their arms full. Upon ground hallowed
by such associations as this, was the
Temple of Solomon erected-so spacious
and magRifcent-the wonder and ad-
miration of the world Alas in these
days, how many would sooner steal their
brothers whole shock, than add to it a
single sheaf.

cool diabolism of this reply led the sher-
if, by natural association of ideas, to
ponder over the motiveless cruelty of the
killing of Miller, and thus led up to the
final result. 1t appears that Smith has
" influential friends" and that he was
released on bail, in $1,000, for this at
tempt on the passenger train; but on
the very same night, evidently resolved

interruption of his pleasures, he went of
to neighboring town called Ecorse and
set barn on fire. He was again arrest
ed, and this time did not escape from
custody until the whole list of crimes had
been brought home to him. The evil
dence was purely presumptive, but still
very strong, when the sheriff felt war
ranted in suddenly charging the prison.
er, point-blank to his face, with Miller's
murder. The result was that Smith
broke down-the excitement of the two
arrests ON the same day having appar-
emily shaken his nerve-and confessed
all. The youthful murderer is said to
beextremely handsome, and is pronounce
ep by able medical men to be entirely
sane. His incentive would appear to
have been simply furious, overwhelm-
ing passion for crime; and considering
his total unscrupulousness, his audacity
and his great cunning, it is fortunate
that his career of guilt has been cut as
short as it has, and that only single
life, so far as is known, has been sacri-
feed to his lust for crime.

feed to his lust for crime.
A PLYMOUTH ROMANCE. One of our
sea-coast towns, not very distant from
the spot whereon the Pilgrim fathers
first trod after landing from the May
flower, has been the scene of a drama
that embodied many of the elements
deemed essential in the composition of
sensational novel. Two or three years
ago, two young people, both members of
the " first families" and in every respect
unexceptionable, became engaged with
the cordial appreciation of the friends on
both sides. The young man is civil
engineer of great promise. He sought
his fortune in the West, and not long
ago was appointed to responsible and
lucrative position in western city.
The salary was large; he had every rea-
son to expect speedy promotion, and al
together circumstances seemed to be fav-
orable for the consummation of the mar
riage, which had been delayed until he
should become permanently established.
So the wedding day was fixed, the trous-
seau was made ready, and friends were
invited, for the ceremony was to be en-
graade terue. The bridegroom wrote
that he would leave the western city on
certain day and would reach the home
of his bride on a day soon following, and
just proceeding the wedding day. Time
sped away; the day fixed for his arrival
came, but brought him not the next
all things were in readiness for the GER
emony, but there was no bridegroom.
To this day not word has been heard
of tne missing man. The brides friends
at once telegraphed to his superior in the
western city, asking for tidings of the
unpunctual bridegroom. They received
for answer that he (the respondent) ac-
companied the young man to the depot
and saw him ON board the cars bound
for the State of Massachusetts and mat
rimony. Further inquiries were made
by mail, and in response the western gem
tleman gave a detailed account of the
circumstances attending his friends de-
parture, in the course of which he men
toned only one fact that seemed to have
any bearing on the question That was
that the missing man, at the depot, re-
marked that he would ''see to his trunks
himself" The brides friends at once
interpreted this as indicating that the in
tended Benedict was bound to some other
destination than sea-coast town in Mas
sachusetts. The character of the miss
ing man had been unimpeachable he
had no bad habits, no dangerous associ-
ations; but as soon as the above men,
toned facts were made known, a host of
rumors took wing, all limiting at some
ENHANCEMENT of the young man in the
wiles of some scheming woman. But
the young mans mother has not lost
faith in her SOD. She believes that be
will come at last-that some accident
has detained him, and that he has been
unable to communicate with his friends.
just before the coming trains are due,
she takes her seat at window before
which all the passengers have to pass,
and scans with eager eyes the throngs of
travellers, hoping to recognize the loved
features of her son. Two or three times
daily she is disappointed, but her faith
never wavers.-Boston Letter to Sacra-
me,ato Union.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SON.

! A letter from Moscow, Russia, dated May
10, gives the particulars Of The first meet
ing of Gen. Sherman and party with the
Gar Alexander. Gen. Sherman arrived at
Moscow May s, after ten days steady
staging from Sebastopol. Next day the
Gar leaves st. Petersburg to visit Crimea,
and it was announced he would stop fifteen
minutes at Moscow 70 change locomotive.
Gen. Sherman and companions donned
their full uniform, and repaired to the de-
pot to await the Imperial arrival, and were
conducted into the Imperial rooms pro-
vided there. The space around the depot
was carpeted and beautifully festooned with
flowers, and there were assembled there the
chief dignitaries Of the city, with their gor-
geous uniforms, officers Of the Imperiaitst
staff, several ladies of honor, and a
sprinkling of citizens in citizens dress.
The center Of attraction was, however, two
young Grand Dukes who, accompanied by
their preceptOr and the Confessor of the
empress, were on their way from Yulta to
st. Petersburg. They were dressed in the
uniform of Lieutenants of the Russia army,
and the eldest, whois about fourteen, looks
like Alexis. They appear to be very nice
boys, and when Gen. Sherman was pres
ented to them they both uncovered and
stood locking up in his face, while talking
to him with as much respect aud admira-
ton as if be had been Peter the Great.
They both speak English very well. Sew
eral of the ladies present, who spoke Eng
fish very fuently, asked to be presented.
At last the train bearing the Emperor
came. The Emperor soon after appeared on
the platform dressed in his usual uniform,
and wearing white fatigue cap. He step
ped down from the car and commenced
talking with those around. With an air of
authority he advanced, stopping here and
there to say a few words to different per
sons, and then stepped up to Mr.. Curtin,
shook hands with him cordially, inquired
about his health, and expressed his satisfac-
ton at seeing him again, to which Mr.. Cur
tin responded, and then presented Gen.
Sherman. His Majesty extended his hand,
asked the General how he enjoyed his trip
through Russia, expressed himself very glad
to make his acquaintance, and hoped the
rest of his stay in Russia would
be pleasant. Mr.. Curtin then pre-
sented Lieut.. Grant and Col. Audenried.
But the Emperor did not give his hand to
Mr.. Grant, but simply hoping he was well,
confined speaking TO Mr.. Curtin and Gen.
Sherman, and soon after walked away, and
the reception was over. No words Of friend
ship or greeting for his father, no regrets
for his short stay in Russia, cool, decid-
eddy cool reception, more than matching in
GOODNESS that of Alexis in Washington. The
Emperor walked about the platform few
minutes, talking TO different persons; had a
few moments conversation with The eldest
Of the two young Grand Dukes present,
and then got into the train, which immedi- |
stely commenced moving off amid the
cheers Of the people.

CLAIMS FOR ROUKrY.

The War Department has addressed a
letter to the Second Comptroller, annOunc-
ing that The three months volunteers who
enlisted prior to May 8, 1861, who sUbse-
quently enlisted under the call for thirty
lime regiments, and had the time Of enlist
ment ior three years dated back to original
entry into service, are clearly included in
the recent act giving 500 bounty to those
who enlisted under the call between May 8,
and Aug. 6, 1861. The number Of claims
for bounty under this act already fled is
10000, which viii take out of the Treasury
100000.
The First Comptroller has decided that
the claimants for the twenty per cent. add.
tional pay, given by act Of Feb. %,
1867, to Government employees of certain
class, and which the Supreme Court recent
ly decided should be paid to the 400
claimants, cannot be paid until Congress
makes an appropriation to cover this class.
The unexpended portion of the original ap-
pOpriation by act of July y, 1870, has
been covered into the Treasury.

THE Buell. RECORDS.
The Impression that Gen. Badeau
left on Gen. BoyntOn,

The Impression that Gen. Bade8u
FI.eft ON Gen. BoyRtOn,
Gen. Boynton, Washington correspond
ent of the Gazette, has been testifying be-
fore the Congressional committee looking
after the missing records of the War De
partment. Gen. B. was hunting material
TO prove that Grant was to blame for at
tempting TO supersed3 Gen. Thomas be-
fore the battle of Nashville. He says:
81 found Gen. Badeau in his office at the
White House, where be had in several
chests the various records belonging 10 the
War Department, and to tbs headquarters
Of the army. Some of them were letter.
press copy books Of orders and dispatches
sent out from the headquarters of the army;
others were ledgers il which the orders and
dispatches of the headquarters Of the army
at City Point had been copied, and some of
the letter-press books belonging to the War
Department in some branches, do not ex-
actly remember which. In turning his
several books over, Gen. Badeau called
my attention to the fact that in several
places ten or dozen pages had been sliced
out. These were taken from the letter
press copy-books belonging to the army,
and on the stub was written in pencil:
Taken by Ger. Halleck,' or taken by some
one whose name was specified, whom Gen.
Badeau said was an officer Of Gen. Hal
leck's staff. l reCOllect that one of these
lnutilated portions referred to the cores
pondence between Gen. Halleck and Gen.
Rosecrans, il the Tennessee campaign,
about which there was a good deal of dis
pute; then at another place | looked at tie
index, and my conclusion was that the mu-
tjIafion was in reference to tho correspond
ence between Gen. Halleck and Gen. Raw
hugs or Gen. Grant, at the time of the bat
tie of IUka, Or second battle of COrintb; far
Their on the same witness says: seen.
Badeau told me he was engaged in writing
the second volume of the life of Gen. Grant,
and he had a great many documents there
for that purpose. had a statement from
Gen. Badeau, in his own writing, that Gen.
Halleck did abstract a good many docu-
ments pertaining to the records Further
along Gen. Boynton testified: 4 should
say there were at least four pine chests of
documents there belonging to the War De-
pirtment. Some were those Of the head
quarters of the army proper. Some were
records Of the headquarters of the army
when it was at City Point. J. have, how
ever, good reason to suppose that the por-
ton of the record pertaining to the re-
moval of Gen. Thomas is not in the re-
cord at the War Department. Some fif-
teen dispatches on Gen. Thomas side of
the controversy were not furnished to me,
although Gen. Badeau assured me repeat
cdly that he had furnished me everything
that was in the records, pertaining TO that
subject"
Now this testimony is simply conclusive
that the records have been mUtilated in the
most important particulars, and it also
proves that Badeau was engaged in the
paltry work of conceslment for Grant, as to
his effort to displace Thomas by Jack
Logan.
