make his appearance in Washington

THE YOuNGERS.

ST. LOUIS, March 2I.-The Latest infor-
nation from the scenes of the light be-
tween the notorious Younger brothers and
detectives near Monsgaw SPRING. is that
the detectives engaged were Allen OF Chi
cago and Wright Of st. Louis. The form.
or is still at Roscoe mortally wounded and
the latter escaped. 1t 10 further
stated that James Younger was
wounded in the ARRAY and his
capture /. expected; and also that the
younger brothers came down from the
north Just after the murder Of Whicher
near Independence, which leads TO the be-
lief that they had a hand in the murder
Of that gentleman.
THE CENTREvILLE BUTcuERY,
A gentleman just from Sslleville, H.
linois, reports that Sheriff Hughes, OF
saene OF the has rsig g. :ns
family, near Centrevills. He obtained no
clue TO the assassins, but says the murder
was evidently committed for plumber, as
the house was thoroughly ransacked,
and the contents Of the bureaus and closets
strewn all round. Tho elder S,iitzen-
rleter had considerable money in the
house, which the murderers are supposed
TO have got. The house is situated some
distance from another dwelling in the vi.
entity Of the settlement called Saxton.
The neighbors are in a state of great ex-
element, but suspicion is attached to no
one. II 10 believed the murder was COM
mtted Thursday night as the bodies of Mrs.
Stiltzenrieter and the children were in
bed when found. That Of her husband
on the floor beside lounge on which he
slept, and that Of the old man in the psss
sge.way leading from his own to his sons
room. The heads Of the men were nearly
severed from their bodies, while those OF
the mother and children were crushed
with some blunt instrument. The county
court Of st. Clair county offers $1,000 re-.
ward for the murderers.

The latest advices regarding the fight
At Monsgsw Springs are, that Allen, the
Chicago detective, died at two clock this
morning at Rocco, and the st. Louis do.
tective who escaped, was not named
wright, but Duckworth, who resigned
from the detective force OF this city some
weeks ago, but who 10 believed to have
been in Pinkerton's service.

AUTOMATIC PERCEPTION.

The papers are telling of Q man of ex-
collent education and judgement, for man y
years a successful teacher even, who, from
early youth to middle age, always read and
and called the word "simile' smile, and
could never DO made TO realize fully that
the spelling Of the two words were
different. At last when fsrely forced
a. it were to geo for the moment that
there was ono more "i' in "simile,
than in smile, he exhibited posi-

gave the proper distinctive pronu ncistion
for a few days, and then relspsed hope
lessly into the old habit. The pby,io.

10 that all the perceptive senses having
become adapted BY long habit to an i'm
perfect first impression of the words or
