The other night as the train from
Indianapolis stopped for . minute
at one Of the stations near Brazil,a
man came hulTiedly into the car,

recognized the gentleman for whom
he was looking IA we'll known CAPT.

recently been making extensive i'll
vestments in coal, etc, in this vi
cinity) stopped, and in an earnest
manner impaired some news which
seemed to be Of great importance.
Hastily turning to his wife, who
was sitting on the seat beside him,
the gentleman explained that it
would be necessary for him to step
off, but she could 60 Oh to Terre
Haute, and be would follow as soon
as possible. AS he was leaving the
car q thought seemed to strike him,
aud turning back he handed bis
wife what appeared to be a small
package Of money, whispering at
the same time a word OF caution
about being careful with it. The
persons in the neighborhood Of the
seat had been interested spectators
Of the occurrence. Two Of them
sat ii the seat behind. One was a
stout man with Grape on his hat;
the other apparently his son. The
third was . small, wiry-looking
man, with a smooth-shayen face and
a remarkably piercing pair Of small
gray eyes. lie sat oil the opposite
Side Of the car, a little in the rear
of the Others. The first two, with
heads together, engaged IN q close
2 Y.
conversation in a low tone, and shot
frequent glances at the lady in
front, who seemed to be the object
Of their discussion. The small man
seemed to go to sleep. When the
train stopped at fleHe Haute, the
lady entered an omnibus, with other
passengers. The father and son
climbed to the top Of the same
vehicle, and the small, quiet man
stood outside on the steps. AT the
hotel the lady was shown to room,
but the servant had scarcely left
when there was knock at the
door. Opening it cautiously q
young man, bareheaded, with q pen
behind bis ear, begged pardon, but
he was the clerk, and if she had
any money or yaluables about her,
it would be better to have them
locked up in the safe, and he would
take charge Of them for her, and
deliver them at the office. llesi-
tatiDg a moment and remembering
her husbands parting caution, she
replied that she would rather en-
trust them 10 the landlord if he
would have the goodness to come
up.
/" Certainly said the obligiiig
clerk, and he posted down the hall
to where the stout man with the
Grape on his hat was waiting. An
other knock on the door and "thes
landlord" was announced, and the
plethoric package Of currency was
placed iii bis hands with the pro-
found gratitude Of the lady at be-
ing relieved Of snCha responsibility.
The door was shut and locked, and
the precious pair Of rasCals made
their joyful way down stairs. At

idly back aud forth, Ills hands be-

A Wonderful Period.

|
Every age has its destructive
characteristics, and may not the
same be said truthfully ofthe years?
AIisfortunes never come singly, it is
said, and successes often follow
each other in quick succession.
Some years, or short periods, are
noted for their listless, do-nothing-
ism, and Others for their active,
do-muchism. Progress, smooth
and harmonious, is sometimes fol-
lowed BY q succession Of startling
events, The period through which
we are now passing, is brimming
full Of events unprecedented in
their character formagnitude. Mind
and nature appear to rival each
other III the strife to achieve things
Of an astounding nature. In fact
the riyalship partakes more Of the
nature Of q contest. The effort Of
mind is to grasp the forces Of nature
and control them. In the effort,
mind Of to-day thinks and projects
with wonderful rapidity. Enter
prises Of vast proportions, from the
tunneling Of . mountain to the rib
bing of a continent, from the settle
menu Of territory to the conquest
Of q nation, from the creating Of
extensive diamond frauds to the
stealing Of q city's treasury by the
scores Of millions, from producing
immense corners in merchandise and
stocks to consolidating vast monopo-
lies, from springing into nOtority in
a day to plunging into obscurity in
as short q space, all are accomplish
ed 10 the briefest space. The ele-
mental forces Of nature can alone
show as great results, wrought in
50 brief . time. The gaining Of
millions Of dollars III Wall Street
and BY Erie speculations, is balanced
lby tile destruction wrought by the
ltire element ii boston. The rapid
lily with which one brilliant enter
prise If public utility succeeds an
other, cau scarcely snrpass the fire.
1quetcy Of succession which charac-
terizes calamities BY flood and fire.
The departure Of certain disting-
uislied leaders from political integ-
rity, followed BY their speedy fall
into the grave Of political obscurity,
has had more than q full parallel
il the departure Of great and con-
sistent men into the iand Of spirits.
THE explosions Of immense bubbles
of frauds, blown up by dishonest
spectators, have been oyertopped
/ by nature ii the eruptions Of vol
canoes and the tiemblipgs Of earth

wealth which have been swept from

pockets of thieves, have been sue
cesstully riyaIed BY the destruction

States which were never recorded
on the page Of history. One Of these
happened in Monroe county, No.,
in 1868: In that county Warwick
G. had settled q few years before,
and was Of q Republican family !;
and he himself was an old-line
Wing, and at the outbreak Of the
shareholders war, was 4 Union
man. But the current ran strongly
il favor Of Southern rights, IN that
part Of Missouri, and this man G.
perceived that the popular side Of
the question there was for Pap
Price. So he came out for Price,
and was very jealous in the cause Of
the Southern Confederacy. lie be-
came 50 popular with the Missouri
rebels, that letters went onto Price,
recommending c. ~ a very proper
person to raise q company Of yolun-
teers to march to Prics's army, then
in Arkansas.
Soon after this, Warwick G. re-
ceived authority from Price to re-
cruit one-hundred able-bodied men;
we'll mounted and armed, and farn-
ishing their own blankets and ten
days rations. They were to rem
devious near Paris, select their Of
ficers, and then march to head
quarters. Their pay would begin
from the date Of the company cleo
tion. So successful was 1Nr, G.
that in two weeks he had one hum
dred names enrolled, and the men
at the place ofrendezyous. They,
ofcourse elected him as their Cap
tain, and they elected all the rest
Of their company officers also. The
next day they took up their line Of
march. Their horses, saddles, rifles,
blankets, ETC., were first best, and
they were in high glee. The way
that they would use up Lincoln's
hirelings, wasa cautionl They went
fifteen miles the first days march
and eneamped at q fine spring Of
water at a small grove in a large
prairie. They had plenty Of aOld
Rye;" and after supper they drank
whisky, played the fiddle, danced
and csroused around their large
fires and had a'good time of il gen
orally until after midnight. They
then courted natures sweet restor
er, balmy sleep. After sunrise they
arose and cooked q capital break
fast, having fed their neighing
horses. Just as they gathered round
their warm breakfast, and had
drank freely Of aold rye" they
perceived about 400 well armed
men in q circle al round them |!
"Who are they, what Do they
want?' occurred to all Of them.
The circle rapidly became smaller,
and soon the stars and stripes were
raised, and . parley requested. An
officer stepped . few PAGES in front
and told Sir G. that just fifteen
minutes would be allowed them to
choose between surrendering or
fighting. By digressing, ! would
state, that every movement of G. II
raising troops, was watched, and
the same communicated TO all the
Union I.eaguers n the bounds. At
the proper time, three hundred

Chislhurst, England, on Wednes-
day Of last week, in his sixty-6fth
year. He was the third son Of
Louis Bonaparte, ex-King Of Hol-
land, his mother being Hortense,
the daughter Of the Empress Jose
phene by her first marriage. Ills
parents separated soon after bis
birth, leaving the training Of his
youth III the hands Of bis mother.
Soon after the great Emperor en-
braced him for the last time at
Malmaison, commenced the banish-
Inent of his family. His mother
lived first at Augsburg, then in
Switzerland. The revolution of
1880 made Louis Philippe King,
but did not reinstate the banished
family In 1881 he took part in
the iasurrection at Rome, for which
he was banished. After the death
of the Due de Reichstadt and his
own brother, IN 1882, he became
the legal heir ot the imperial family.
lie now became buoyed with the
hope Of obtaining power in Francc.
In 1886 he made an attempt to
seize the fortress at Strasburg, but
the affair failed miserablv. The
Prince himself was captured, and
bis death would have resulted, but
for the efforts Of bis mother. Il
resulted in bis banishment to the
United States. "A brief period
here, and be returned TO Switzer-
land, where he tound his mother
dying. A favorable account Of the
StFasburg affair published BY Lieut.,
Laity IN 1898, resulted il q demand
from the French upon the Swiss
that heshould be baDished. While
this was pending he fed to Eng
land. In 1840 he failed in another
attempt to secure the French crown,
and with bis followers was captur-
cd. For this be was sentenced to
perpetual imprisonment in the for
tress Of Ham. AT the end Of six
years bg bribery he effected bis es-
cape, crossed the Belgium frontier
and took refuge in England. The
revolution ii 1848, led To his being
elected d representative in the Na
tional Assembly, and afterwards
President Of the French Republic.
Tie now began 10 plot for the re-
storing Of the Empire. Ii 1851,
lle proclaimed himself dictator.
Then ii 1852, after i strong army
had been organized, the French na-
ticDby q majority Of six millions
voted tie restoration Of the empire.
Tie assumed the titleot I Napoleon

Grace Of God and the will Of the
