A shat Fall 81 Dead Me..
The officer (now an ex-oficer) states
that ten feet north Of the fire cistern
at the corner Of B and Union streets,
near the middle Of B street, Is an old
shaft about so fee: In depth In which
lie the bodies, or rather, bones Of over
thirty meu that were murdered in
early days and tumbled Into the shaft
for concealment. He says they were
mostly strangers, who were stabbed or
slung shotted for their money, though
he says a few who died from the effects
Of drugs or bad whisky, weie also
dumped into the great charmed pit. In
going to our lodgings last night our
informant accompanied US, his rooms
being in the same quarter Of the city.
Our road led past the place where the
old shaft Is located. 1t was just the
witching hour Of midnight when we
came to the spot, the hour when ghosts
are supposed to walk that we

what told you. II my word Is doubted

I am. What I have told you l know

there are such q number of dead bodies
in any shaft about Virginia that the

not have been told before. The story
of this shaft filled with dead mems
bones was told US In the presence Of

to know what to think Of the horrible

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-In the Cald-
we'll investigation yesterday. Govern
or Carney, on cross examination, stat
ed Caldwell told me in the Fall Of
", In his house In Leavenworth. that
the Kansas Pacific Railroad would
have to give him money before they
could get any favorable legislation
from Congress, that as soon rs he
reached Washington he would take
good care that they got no legislation
until they did pay him. Ny impress
sion was that the sum was thirty thou
sand. but I would not say that he
named that sum, 1t either came from
John Pry. President OF the Kansas Pa
cific Railroad. or from somebody else.
Question-At what time did Mr..
Smith tell you he had got $4,000 In
currency from the Kansas Pacific Rail-
road Company? A.-A very short
time before the vote was taken In the
Legislature.
Senator Carpenter-I should think
people out there would like to have a
Senator elected every day.
Witness-I know that Levi Smith
told me lie had provided some
money for members at the time
Of the banquet, and that a good many
were coming there and expected some
money. He said he had to raise COLI
siderable money for members to pay
for certain arrears ; that currency was
very scarce, aud he did not know how
to do it, aud he was afraid he would
have to disappoint certain men. l
don't know that lie mentioned any
person.
Levi Smith sworn-I never had such
a conversation about currency. as stat
ed by Gov. Carney. I heard the Gov
ernor's statement.
Sidney Clarke, examined BY Senator
Hill showed n letter to Senator Lo-
gan, but never to Senator Hill to my
recollection, and Senator Hill never
spoke to me about his affairs until !
came here to attend the present inves-
tigation.

them and leave? Now, is not this a

you not feel ashamed of yourselves ?

Two Es.-Pictures themselves
have sometimes curious history. The
story Of two pictures at Florence is old
but not worn out. An artist Mt Rome
saw often playing on the streets, near his
window, II child Of exquisite beauty, with
golden hair and cherub face. Struck
with the loveliness of the boy, he painted
his picture and hung it up in his studio.
In his sadde-t hours that sweet, gentle
face looked down upon him like an angel
Of light. Its presence filed his soul with
gladness and longings for heaven, which
its purity symbolized. "IfI ever fnd,"
said he, "a perfect contrast to this beau
tiful face, | will paint that also, and hang
it on the opposite wall, and the one |
shall call heaven and the other hell"
Years passed. At length, in another
part Of Italy, he visited prison, III
looking through the grated door of a cell
he saw the most hd4ous object that ever
met his sight--a fierce, haggald, fend
with glaring eyes, and cheeks deeply
marked with the lines of lust and crime
The artist remembered the promise he
had made himself, and Immediately
painted picture Of this loathsome culp
rit to hang over against the portrait Of
the lovely boy.
The contrast was perfect. The two
poles Of the moral universe were before
him. Then the mystery of the human
soul gained another illustration. He had
two pictures, but they were Iikenesses o
one and the same person. To his great
surprise, on inquiry into the history O
this horrid wretch, he learned that he wa'
no other than the sweet child with colder
ringlets whom he once knew so we'll, anC
saw so often playing in the streets O
Rome
