MISSISSIPPI BUCCANEERS

Their Home Near Muscatine-What
Was Found There.
From the Muscatine Iowa) Journal.l
A thickly wooded Island, known as
Long Island, about fourteen miles above
this city, in the Mississippi, has turned
out to be a regular robbers nest, a sort
OF Isleoi Monte Christie, as lar as secre-
ting valuables ia concerned. The dis.
covery was made by the police Of Dav-
EXPORT, who, having had their suspicious
aroused, visited the spot last Monday,
but on reaching it found that the birds
had flown. Many evidences, however,
OF occupation of the island we're strewn
sround. Boxes Of all kinds aid m any
sizes were thick on the ground, with
bits OF paper and pieces Of twlne rope,
and here and there an old garment,
and many Signs Of carpenter work. Ac-
cording to the report of farmers living
near BY, the island had been abandoned
by the villains only the day before, when
they had loaded q large yawl and a
skiff with pllnder, and started south
ward. None OF the houses in the
vicinity of the island has been disturbed
by the thieves, and the farmers thought
the people on the island were a party OF
spcrlsmen, for they were often seen
fishing in the river aud starting off With
guns on their shoulders, as if going off
on q hunt. 1t is supposed that most Of
the burglsries which have been com
mit,ed 10 Davenport, Muscatine, Will
ton, West Liberty and other localities
in this section during the summer, were
the work Of an organized band which

cluded spot Tor secreting their ill'gotlen
goods. But it is hoped that they are
now gone to return no more, and that
communities can hereafter
rest undisturbed in their slumbers.

Anecdote of Daniel webster.

Evening sessions were sometimes held
as the pressure Of business became

and confusion prevailed; as was always
the case in the House on similar occa-
sions. In the Senate, however, it
took the shape OF exuberant festivity
and fun. Grave and aged Senators be-
came jocose sud conical and sometimes
the mirth grew iust aud furious, the
proceeding more resembling a town
meeting or a farce than the orderly
conduct OF deliberative assembly. !

CHICAGO. October 7.-During a thun.
der storm Saturday night the residence
OF N. W. Baker was struck by lightning,
causing the instant death of servant
girl named Tennie Frank. who wac
lying in bed asleep. Mrs. Churchill ,
cook, with her infant child, occupied
the same room With the girl and the
scene presented to those who first came
into the chamber after the report was
shocking. In one corner of the floor
lay the servant girl, her clothes all in
flames, aud upon the bed, in helpless
condition, lay Mrs. Churchill, who had
fallen upon her child. After the flames
were extiuguished an examination OF
the body of the dead girl showed
marks from her head to her feet such
as hot iron would produce. A young
man named Andrews. who occupied
the room adjoining. was rendered tenn
porarily insensible and n. Meade, a
druggist, who occupied q floor OF the
building as . drug store, received very
violent shock.

CINCINNATI, October IA serious
riot occurred at the corner Of Fifth and

to Pike and turned of there to Fifth

corner OF Sixth and Broadway streets.
When the procession marched passed
Fifth and Broadway . negro who was
standing on the corner fred four
or five shots into it. The negroes, at

to their armory, got out their muskets,
and to tho number Of one hundred
or one hundred and City, put on their
bayonets and ran down to Broadway
and Fifth streets and fred some fifteen
or twenty shots. The procession broke
ranks, and being uuarmed, ran in every
direction. The fire bells were rang and
the whole police force were on the
grounds in lew minutes and succeeded
in restoring order after arresting several
negroes. 1t is reported that three or
four white men were wounded.
The polio. report that they
have been unable to find any
one seriously hurt, though persons who
were in the procession state that at least
four were wounded, and were helped
away by their comrades. The police
are out in full force on the grounds, and
although there is great excitement it is
not probable that there will be any fur
ther disturbance.
The excitement over the coming cleo

The Monthly Gossip" iu the October

this capital story:
Perhaps the most brilliant conversa-

States ever produced was the late Lyt-
tleton Waller Taxvell. Unfortunately
for bis reputation ss to consistency and
firmness OF opinion. his mind was 90
capacious and we'll stored that it Was
I'm possible for him not to see oil sides Of
any subject on which be oonversed, and
hence it was not always easy-indeed,
It wa. oftener extremely ditiicult--for bis
hearers to ascertain what his real opin-
ion WAS. In illustration Of this pecu.
lisrity OF Governor Tas~sll, the follow
ing snecdote is told:
When the notification trouble was
at its height, Mr. Calhoun sent William
C. Preston to Richmond to sound the
first Governor Floyd. father 10 John B.
Floyd, Secretary oil War under Buch.

Virginia in case South Carolina became
involved in conflict with the Federal
Government The question being one
OF great importance, fnd Governor
Floyd having the utmost confidence in
Governor TaxewelIs judgment. the lat
ter was summoned to the State capital.
and the conference took place in the
Executive Mansion at night, soon a'tsr
supper.
Mr.. Taxewell, being called upon for
his opinion, began. A stream OF bril-.
liant and iorcible words poured from his
fluent lips, enchanting his two auditors.
At the expiration OF an hour Governor
Floyd ventured to interrupt him Your
opinion then is,
"Wait a moment" said Tassvell.
Diverging from the line OF his previous
remarks, he corruscated for another
hour as forc,bly as before.
1t was then Preston's turn to inter
cept-and ifpossible arrsst-ths doW
talk:
we may conclude, then, Mr.. Tsss-
Wel', tn6t you nOld-
"No, not at all, You quite misap-
prehend me-" Take another point OF
departure, he went on IRON hour to
hour, zigzigging and worm fencing at
each interruption, until at last broad
daylight flooded the room.

up surprised, ut is morning. Floyd. il

The water and the julep were duly
brought, and the fluent talker went up
to his chamber.
