SPEEDY JUsTICE.-Internal Revenue
Agent William A. Gavett and Supervisor
Perry have recently returned from Flori-
da, where they have been several weeks
prosecuting late Collector Horatio Jenkins,
jr., for embezzlement. Mr.. jenkins was
suspended from Office in May last, and the
present term of the United States court is
the first session that has been held since
Jenkins suspension, and he was indicted,
arrested, tried and convicted, fined twenty
thousand dollars, and sent to the penitentia-
ry. Mr.. Jenkins was a brigadier-general
in the late war, and prominent politician
in Florida, and had strong influence, and
the effort to prevent his trial and punish
ment was great, but, as usual, the depart
ment at Washington was firm, and directed
that the case be pushed vigorously.

endeavored to make friends with her,
and draw her into the parlor. but they
could not and so they said to their
mother, "She will not come and play
with us she will not leave the hall.
There is a secret" said the lady, ''by
which YOU can bring her where you like.
1t is secret i'll -four letters. Try if You
can find it out" The eldest. taking the
lead, searched eagerly among her pref
test playthings. Il know what it is,
cried she lit is doll" So she brought
her best doll. and offered to give it ia
the child if she would come into the
parlOr. No; it was II failure. The
next in age said To herself, ''Mutf Is
spelled with four letter." and brought
her fine mutf-a Christmas present
but she would not touch the mutf, non
even look at it. Grace, the youngest
could think of nothing worth offering
after this, but stood looking on in sol

scription of Intoxicating liquors for the
patients, has recently been forcibly il
Illustrated in this city. A man who
three years ago was confirmed drunk
ard, owing to a strong influence which
was brought to bear upon him, aban-
dOned his old habits. became a sober
and industrious man, and was given
the position of floor walker and gener-
al superintendent in one of the largest
dry goods houses in this city. Three
months ago he left to visit his friends
in Scotland, and las he expressed it) to
show them what Il man he had made
of himself. SO eloquently did he urge
the Temperance cause at his old home
in Scotland, that his family abandoned
the habit of placing wines on the din
ing table. This gentleman started Il
few weeks ago to return to this city,
and was taken sick Oh the home voy-
age. His physician prescribed some
kind of liquor, the taste brought back
the old appetite, and he has been
beastly drunk much of the time since
He is now in this city, but entirely I'M
tit for business, and his friends in their
despair talk of taking him to an inebri-
ate asylum.-Sprinafeld Republican.

An TrNOFFENDISG NEGRO TORTURED
AND MURDERED BY WHITE MEN.-A
party consisting of half-a-dOzen, more
or less. visited camp of wOrkmen on
the railroad Texas Pacitic), 20 miles
north of jefferson. few days ago, in a
state of intoXication. headed by Mr..
Porter. an old citizen of Cass county.
Mr.. Porter, the leader, commenced an
attack upon a negro, who, the by-stand-
ing white men said to Mr.. Porter, was
a peaceable and unoffending man. The
negro pushed Mr.. Porter off and kept
out of his way. At this Porter took
offense, but. not considering himself
sufficiently strong, went back home,
recruited his party, and returned.
Porter assumed to be sheriff, and the
others of the party, subOrdinates, took
the negro prisoner, bound him fast,
opened his eyes and spit in them tObac-
90 Juice. confined him fast to one of the
horses, started off at fast gait, COM
pelling him to keep up or drag; ordered
the negro to bow humble to every
white man they met on the road, and
on the streets of a town through which
they passed en- route. Proceeding on
their way to spot sufficiently retired
for their diabolical purposes, they con-
fined the colored man between two
small trees, 81 placing him that he could
only move his head. Thus located,
they deliberately proceeded to make a
cross on his forehead by incision with
knife, and then scalped their victim.
After thus inflicting on him all the
torture of which they were capable,
they retired few PAGES and finished
their barbarous work by shooting
several loads of ammunition into his
exposed and defenseless body. After
thus cruelty accomplishing their work,
they threw the lifeless body into Il
stream of water convenient to the scene
of action. The perpetrators had not,
ut last accounts, been arrested.-Austin

Atlantic Cables.

Fifteen years ago the first Atlantic
cable slipped into its roomy bed and,
to-day, four fellow-Iopes are already
crowding alongside, making it decided
ly uncomfortable mapping for warm
weather. The first cable sufficed to
transmit the congratulations of Queen
Victoria and President Buchanan, and
has lain as numb as the equator ever
since. The first successful cable. that
of le65, broke few days ago: the
cable of lo66 is working; that of 1869.
or the French cable. has Just been bro
ken, pos miles from Brest. but has been
spliced and, we understand. is again
working. The fourth cable was land
ed by the Great Eastern on Friday at
Hearts Content. Newfoundland. and
extends straight to Nalentia. being lit
tie less than 1900 miles long, or about
the length of the cable of 1866. The
new cable is of three qualities. indicat-
ed as shore, intermediate and deep-sea
cables. the latter being the lightest. As
soon as the connection with America is
established, the Great Eastern will go
back TO within sos miles of Valentia,
where it will grapple for the broken ca
BILE of 1860. Think of grabbing foI
