Tragedy On a Train.

The robbery of the express car on the
Michigan Central r. r. on Friday 9th inst,
was of so tragical nature that, represented
upon the stage, it would thrill the house, "
as the critics say. According to the Detroit
Tribune of Saturday, the train was the fast
night express which left Chicago at five
o'clock P. NJ. The car of the American
Express Company was next the engine,
and was only occupied by the messenger,
being lighted by single candle, and all the
doors locked. Several thousand dollars
were in the safe, before which sat the messen-
ger, Mr. S. B. Heath sorting the packages
Of money. When the train had reached
point few miles beyong New Buffalo
Heath, was bending down, saw mans foot
softly placed between him and the safe, and
before he could turn himself he was struck
a violent blow in the forehead
His assailants at the same moment put
out the candle, and seizing package of
money darted out of the front door, the
lock Of which had been forced off Heath
by this time had sprung to his feet, but
before, in his halfstunned condition, he
could reach the door another man was upon
him, and terrible life and death struggle
ensued. Heath had revolver, and the
robbor a large knife, and the men endeavored
to use their weapons. The fight was long
and desperate. From side to side and end
to end of the car the men rolled and tumbled
i'll the darkness, now one uppermost, now
the other, and again side by side, Heath
trying to shoot and the robber to stab At
last when Heath was nearly fainting from
exhaustion, and was lying underneath, he
managed to shoot his antagonist through
the head. The fellow, although not instant
ly killed, rolled off the messenger and lay
unconscious upon the floor. Heath then
tainted and remained in this condition until
the train reached Niles, few miles beyond
The sight that met the eyes Of those who
entered the car at Niles was a terrible one.
The robbcr was just breathing his last, and
Heath, badly injured and covered with
blood, lay upon the floor unable to rise
The man who escaped carried off s2,700 in
money, and seems to have left his compan-
ion to his fate.

A Heretical Chicago Priest.

Chicago is decidedly heretical city.
The epidemic has broken out in a unex-
pected quarter. There is young, cultiva-
ted, original Catholic priest in that city
known as Father Terry He lectured be
fore the Cathlic Literary Association a few
evenings ago and threw Professor Swing in
to the shade by the ultraness of his views
and the cleverness with which they were
expressed. He complained that the peo-
pie who contended that the earth was made
in six workingdays do not say whether the
Lord worked on the eight-hour system
and claimed that the Book of Genesis is an
epic product of Oriental genius. Some of
the explanations are harder to believe than
the book, as, for instance, that Adam was
thirty-five years old when he was created,
and that he was put to sleep when the rib
was taken out Of him, so that Eve might
be spared the pain of having her mode of
construction criticised. In speaking of the
Ark, Father Terry said that it was rather
remarkable how the different animals said
to have been preserved in that structure re-
appeared again in the very parts of the
world to which they must have been orig
inally indigenous. Some theologians thought
that they were transported to the Ark and
and back again by means of angels. Just
think said Father Terry, of an elephant
sitting jauntily on the shoulder of seraph,
and of apes borne grandly in the air on the
wings of cherubim These and similar
things indicate that Chicago is not likely
to lack for theological sensations right away.

How to Catch Mice.

chloroform and throwing it in, then closing

Save Your Peach Trees.

On examination, | find the peach trees are
badly infested with the borer, some three
year-old trees having as high as twenty
worms, and some are entirely killed.
Their presence is indicated by the worm
dust or borings thrown out, with the gum
that issues from the wound, which is just
below the ground.
The remedy is to dig away the earth
and follow the pest to the death with the
knife Leave the trunk exposed few
days to show remaining worms, after which
fill in and hill up six inches, and spread
dry ashes around the tree.

To the Editor of the Dallas Herald
TO whom are we indebted for the
defeat of b. +. Butler, the prosecutor,
in Massachusetts ? Not to Texas, nor
South Carolina, nor Georgia, out to
the honest Sons of Massachusetts,, the
moment they became satisfied of Il
worth and Buffers worthlessness.
Vermont kicked Poland, the muz-
zler of the press, overheard, and Mas
sachusetts has sent Butler into an Oh
security from which he will never
emerge.
Under such manifestations IN the
New England states, has not the time
arrived when the boys who fought in
the "Bluen aud the 'Gray" can join
hands and associate as reconciled
brethren Vicksburg has spoken and
says yes, Dallas is about TO speak
and will respond yes, also The true
soldiers of both sides are ready to unite
in fraternal Oblivion Of the unhappy
and leave all the Buffers and
Polands cut in their own malignity.

SURPRISING il to be true that the po-
liticui tide has turned-that the waves
of democracy have swept through the
northern states with ulieNpectcFand
unprecedented powcr-thc occasion
calls for all the prudence and sound
Judgment OF which the southern peo-
pie are possessed. Since our surrender
at AppomattOX the vast majority of us
have claimed to be democrats. We
have persistently claimed that there
was nothing in democracy Inconsistent
with the terms ofour surrender or with
the renewed allegiance we rendered to
the federal government. Bothof these
positions have been denied by Il p0-
l.itical enemies ut the north, and the
idea has been industriously propagated
that the triumph of democracy would
be the signal for Il new rebellion, and
the enSlavement of The black.
In this, the hour of our triumph, it is
orr duty to proclaim again and to re-
assert as often ms needs be, that the
cause of democracy is the cause of
eqaul rights to all; that where democ-
racy holds sway there the humblest
and blacklist citizen shall have every
right under the law that is accorded to
the proudest aud whitest of the land.
These are the sentimentthar southern
democrats have protested. They are
the sentiments that they entertained.
Now, that the party to which we pro-
fess allegiance is i'll the asceude1r.S,
we can reiterate these sentiments
without being suspected Of trucking
or time.serviug s-FS

Is SPITE of luyOuuls, gunup''. cav
airy, and all the other implements OF
war, Louisiana hw recorded her vote
against the infamous tyranny t'at the
federal administration hus -trivcn 50
hard To sustain. II shame had not
long since fled from the cheeks OF
Grant and his thieyiugJudicial adviser,
they would bow their heads in humil-
iallon, and impIore at the hands Of the
American people the charity OF TIER
silence.
Fifteen thousand majority for the
democratic ticket-iour members OF
congress democratic is the answer to
Landaulet Williams statement that
the republican party had an easy ma
jority of twenty thousand in the state.
What will be the result? Will Grant
and Williams change their base, and
acknowledge, like brave men, that
they have made Il mistake, call olfthcir
dogs of war, and let the major
ity of the people Of Louisiana have
the government Of their choice? We
can hardly expect it Of them, and yet
il is what they ought to do, and what
the public sentiment Of the country
will demand Of them. Unless they do
take this course, there will he no inn
mediate change in thesituation in that
most oppressed and ioully wronged
state. Kellogg holds his office woyears
longer. The only state officer elected
on Monday was treasurer, so that there
will be no change in the state admin
istration, other than in that II Office,
for two years to come. The newly
elected members of congress will not
taketheir seats till December, 1873. The
only immediate effect, therefore, to be
hoped for from the democratic triumph
is the moral effect it is to have at the
north, in showing to the people of that
section, what has all along been known
to us in this region, that the Kellogg
dynasty was II bold, bald, naked usur-
patton, with nothing to rest upon save
the supposed necessities of the d0mi-
nant national party, backed up by the
bullets and bayonets of the federal
army.
Louisidno 1edeeAaed, is the watch
word OF liberty that is flashing over
this broad continent as we write. The
would-be tyrants at Washington see in
it the handwriting OF the wall that
condemns them to their original OBJ
scuritN.
