with q Prisoner
The Latter Killed.

MICHIGAN CITY, IND, August To-
This morning while Chas. A. Manning,
deputy warden of the prison, and Mr.
st. John, president of the board OF
directors, were alone in the guard-room
of the prison Joseph Simpson, q pri-
soner, having armed himself with a
cooper's brOad-ax, came into the room
aud advanced toward Manning and ex-
claimed, damn you, Twill kill yOu.n
The deputy drew his revolver and ordered
the man from the room, threatening at
the same time to shoot him if he did not
obey. The only response the prisoner
made was an attempt to strike with the
AK, and spinning from side to side to
avoid the pistol, and advancing
upon the deputy, who still continued to
order him from the room on pain Of
being shot. At this junctlre St. John,
who could obtain no better weapon,
seized a chair, and aimed a blow at the
prisoner, which unfortunately touched
the deputy, who was somewhat
in the rear Of st. John at the time.
The blow, however, fell on the prisoner,
but with insufficient force to prevent his
further advance, recovering himself he
rushed at the deputy, aiming a blow,
when the latter fred. Undaunted for an
instant the prisoner still advanced, when
the deputy fred twice again. Muster
ing his falling strength, the prisoner
threw the ak with all bis force, narrowly
missing the deputy's head, and then fell
back, and as be fell the deputy fred
fourth shot. The second was fatal, as
was afterward discovered. No motive
for the murderous attack is known, ex-
cept that Simpson had once escaped and
had an idea that Manning had reported
him to the prison when he escaped.
The coroner returned verdict exoner-
atiDg Manning from all blame.

ST. LOUIS, August 15.-Specials from
Jefferson City say that Peter Kessler,
and his son, August, who were arrested
here on the twenty-ffth of July for
stealing mules in Galloway county, and
were taken to that county for trial, and
who were brought to the Jefferson City
jail to prevent them being lynched,
were to-day taken to Fulton, the county
seat of Galloway county, for trial. On
the way over August escaped from the
train while in motion, near Cedar City.
The old man was taken to Fulton, plead
guilty to the charge, and was sentenced
to six years Imprisonment in the peni-
tentiary. Sheriff Low, with a posse of
four men, started, with the prisoner
in hack to the depot, when they were
surrounded by mob, and the prisoner
demanded. Upon the refusal of the
sheriff to surrender the prisoner, several
shots were fired into the hack, mortally
wounding the sheriff, and seriously
wounding the prosecuting attorney and
JIG. provinces, editor of the Fulton Press,
John Watson, merchant, and young
man named Dunbar, who were acting as
guards for the sheriff. The prisoner
was taken out of town and hanged. A
large number of citizens are now search
ing for young Kessler.

assertion. We would also add that our
circulation has steadily increased during
the last four months, and is very much
larger to-day than the first of May last,

We have endeavored, under all cir

the principles of truth and justice, and
we have still strong conviction that
there is no surer foundation to build

which, to say the least, are intended to
deceive, to adopt some more honorable
course, and at least mot use the truth

tains, it must have been very grand but
my ardor was very materially cooled by
the impression that had seen grander
scenery in our own State, ard 1 would
simply say to anyone longing to come TO
the highlands of Scotland, just cross the
Green Mountains from Rutland,
via Mendon, to Pittsfield, and
from Sherburne Hollow to Woodstock,
and as you travel imagine the mountains
disrobed of the rich and beautiful foli-
age, and instead thereof covered with
brown and purple heather, with here and
there (perhaps miles apart shepherds
cottage, and you have the highlands as
wild and bold as in the Highlands them
selves If one could, for the time being,
keep the lakes of Switzerland out of
mind, he would be ravished by the beau
ty of the Scottish lochs, but l have no
hesitation in saying what know to be
eXperimentally true, that to person
coming from Vermont to Switzerland,
and thence to the Highlands, the latter
are disrobed of all their romance and OF
half their grandeur.
Glasgow is the Manchester or New
| York of Scotland, and while, CONNER
cially speaking, it is great city, it has
nevertheless little to attract the atten-
ton or invite the stay of the tourist. So,
after brief day spent in grasping the
industrial pursuits of the entire Clyde
district, I left for Edinburgh, where
spent very quiet Scotch Sabbath, and
where | had the pleasure of hearing two
carefully-prepared, weH-delivered, and
richly-instructiive sermons, by Rev.

Chapel.

stantially closes my European tour, ano

Scottish Anecdotes.

There are some capital Scottish an
ecdotes in Every Saturday, of April
10, among them one Of dying High

adviser esif there was any whisky In
heaven Y and then, half apologetieally,
said, Eye, ken, sir, it's no that | care
for it, but it looks well on the table,
Here is another: DR.. Robert Knox, the
great teacher of anatomy, began one
of his letters in the following way !:
Gentlemen, there are no text books

but it is poor stuff. I can't recon-
mend it. The man who knows most
about a subject writes worse upon it.
IF you want a good text book On any
subject, recommend me to the man
who knows nothing earthly about the
subject. The result is that we have no
good text books on anatomy. We will
have one soon, however. Professor
Monroe is going to write one.n
This Professor Monroe was so lazy
that he was in the habit of using his
grandfather's lectures, written more
than d Hundred years before his day,
and students were electrified by hear
ing him {1S29 and 1S3O) drawl out,
"When was in Padua in 1894" This
was the signal for fun, and showers of
peas descended on Monroe's head, who
could never understand what it was
all about. There is aIsoea story of a
Scotch servant, who, when asked how
s'his lordship" i. e. his mastery was, an
swered, II hope he's weeln He was,
in fact, dead, but the old servitor was
too cautious to commit himself, in his
opinion, as to his condition. Among
other drinking anecdotes and sayings
is that of an old worthy who used to
say, 'swhisky's bad thing and then
as if to qualify such dangerous senti-
ment, added, especially bad whisky"

IF o person swallows any poisod
whatever, or falls into convulsions from
having overloaded the stomach, an in
Simultaneous remedy more efficient and
applicable in large number of cases
than half a dozen medicines we now
think OF, is heaping teaspoonful Of
common salt, and as much ground
mustard, stirred rapidly in d teacup of
water, warm or cold, and swallowed
instantly. 1t is scarcely down before
it begins to come up, bringing with it
the remaining contents Of the stomach;
and, lest there be any. remnant of
poison, however small, let the white of
an egg, or a teacup ofsstrong coffee be
swallowed as soon as the stomach is

FEMALE DELIcAcY.-Above every
other feature that adorns the female
character, deicacy stands foremost
within the province of good taste.
Not that delicacy which is perpetually
in quest Of something to be ashamed
of. which makes merit of a blush, and
shippers at the false construction its
own ingenuity has put upon an inno-
cent remark; this spurious kind OF
delicacy is as far removed from good
taste as from good feeling and good
sense; but the high minded delicacy
which maintains its pure. and undevl-
ating walk alike amonst women as IN
the society of men, which shrinks
from no necessary duty, and can speak
when required with seriousness and
kindness of things at which it would
be ashamed to smile or blush.
