The REMAINS OF A MURDERER.-The
Hagerstown Daily News says: In a
conversation with a gentleman from
Union Bridge we learned that the
membership OF the Reformed Church
at Taneytown had reconsidered their
opposition to the interment OF Davis
remains in their graveyard, and that the
remains of Davis will be removed from
their present resting place, in his moth
srs front yard at an early day. The
report that the doctors had stolen the
remains is untrue.

Pr,cr N ARKAYsAs.-The difficulties
Of Arkansas have at length been
brought to an end by the interposltlon
of the President who has issued proc
lamation recognizining Baxter as the
legal Governor of the State. The proc
lamation is based upon an opinion de-
lived by Attorney General Williams, in
which he sustains the claim OF Baxter
to the Goyernorship. He argues that
the power of deciding 4 contested cleo,
ton lies solely in the Legislature. and
that the Courts have no jurisdiction
over it; hence the decision given i'll IA
vor of Brooks by the Supreme Court 10
not to he considered as of any effect.
Il think, says the Attorney General,
''it would be disastrous TO allow the
proceedings by which Brooks obtained
possession of the Office to be drawn into
precedent. There is not State in the
Union in which they would not produce
conflict, and probably bloodshed,
They cannot be upheld or justified upon
any ground, and, in my opinion, Elisha
Baxter should be recognized as the law
tul Executive of the State of Arkansas. "
1t is admitted that Brooks was legally
elected, but as the Legislature counted
Baxter in by counting some OF the
counties ont that gave Brooks large
maiorities, there was but one course for
the Federal authorities to pursue, and
that was to recognize Baxter.

\ STRANGE Story or CRIME.-The
Tribune narrates the following remark
able story of a Pennsylvania robber
whose exploits have been famous, and
who. alter long period of immunity,
has at last been arrested and Will be
brought to justice
"In the early part of 1865, five men
living at Saeoerstown, Pa. entered the
house of Mr.. Bennehotf, wealthy
gentleman, at Petroleum Centre and
compelled him to deliver up the key to
one of his safes, in which he kept q
large sum of money. The robbers SC
cured over 100000, and made good
their escape Two of them were alter
ward arrested and convicted, and were
sent to the penitentiary. Two others
were never heard from, but one, James
Saeger, has been followed by the de-
tectivcs ever since. The money was
secreted, but before the time appointed
for division OF the spoils Saeger stole
the entire sum and fled. Mr.. Bennehoff
offered 100000 for his arrest and con-
yic,ion. After search of six years,
the outlaw has at last been arrested, and
is now secure in the county Jail at Den
yer, Colorado The story OF his cap
ture is related in the Denver News,
from which it appears that he was re-
cocnized Ply Mrs. Potter, into whose
husbands restaurant he had gene to get
some oysters. She called him by lame
and he confessed his identity. Her
husband recognized him also, and tho
he once adopted the outlaw as his son,
ho was ready to bring bin to justice be
cause of SOME outrage he had perpetrat-
cd upon a relative. By following the
advice of detectives his arrest was final
" made, and he confessed everything,
From his own account il appears that
he became boatlnan on the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers after the robbery,
AMI then went to Mexico. From there
he passed into Texas, and entered IN the
cattle business for three years. Starting
north with drove of cattle he made
his way to Denver and into the hands
OF the law He saws he intended to re-
pay MIR. BennehofH, but he has met with
too many reverses to do So The stolen
money, he says, is where it can never
6e found"

SUFFERING IN THE SoUTm.-Although
the waters in Louisiana and other parts
of the South have abated, there is still
much suffering and restitution in the
overlooked districts. Thousands are
without homes and thousands are with
out the necessaries of life, everything
they had having been swept away be-
fore the irresistible torrent of the flood
Their cries for help are piteoss and
heart-rending, to which, we are glad to
note, a generous response has gone up
from Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore aud others of the large cities,
but generous as the aid has been, the
wants of the sufferers have not yet been
supplied, although much distress has
been relieved.

They we're each married to the wife OF
the other man, the women assuming
their maiden names. All this happened

supposed to be civilised. Both men got

CAT Sucking SoUIRREL-The
Rockingham Register states that cat,
with kittens, belonging to Mr.. YIN.
Loeb, Of Harrisonburg, has adopted
and is taking care of young squirrel
which Mr.. Loeb's son, Sammy, caught
a few weeks ago. The squirrel was
only about two or three days old when
it was given to the cat. She seems to
be quite as much attached to the SPUR
rel as to either Of her kittens. She
moved her quarters few days ago from
the lower apartments to the upstairs,
and was very careful to carry her adop-
ted young one along with the rest OF
her family.

DISASTER IN MASSACHUsETTS.-
have the details of another horror. On
Saturday morning last the manuiactur-
ing villages of Williamsburg, Hayden
vile. Leeds and Florence, Massachu'
sets, situated on Mill river, tributary
of the Connecticut, were suddenly del
uced with water, caused by the break
inc of Goshen reservoir, an immense
structure above Williamsburg. The
water swept down upon the mills, facto-
RES and tenement houses in torrents,
sweeping away or overturring buildings
and CARVING down hundreds Of people,
;nclndin1 men. women and children,
many of whom were drowned. The
latest estimate of the loss of life places
it at over one hundred and fifty per-
SONS. the bodies Of many of whom have
been recovered. The loss of property is
estimated at oyer 81 100000.
The reservoir, which gave way, COW
cred $50 acres of ground at an average
depth of 80 feet, and was constructed
about twelve years ago in order to at
ford a permanent supply of water tor
the various factories on Mill river II
was built by company of capitalists,
who were interested in the various man
ufacturing enterprises on the stream, and
has caused them appfehensions of dis
aster several times. 1t was repaired,
however, last year at heavy expense,
and was supposed to be secure until now.

A DARKENED LIFE.

In Nashua, n. H., resides a young
girl, whose pitiful lot ,excites the deep
est sympathy, yet for whom sympathy
can do but little in alienation of the
sad misfortune which has darkened
her life. When child she was terri
bly, scalded about the head and face,
and although she survived her injuries,
she was thenceforth disfgured for life,
and the rosy face of childhood was
changed to mask-a travesty on the
human countenance-absolut fright
full in its hideousness. In Lowell,
Mass, where she once lived, so great
was the horror excited by her appear
ance that she was forbidden by the au-
thorities to show herself on the streets.
At Nashua she ventured out the other
day, and several ladies tainted at sight
of her, and call is now mao upon the
authorities of that place to forbid her
appearance in the streets. What q
mournful fate is hers? To live through
the terrible physical suffering only to
endure henceforward a keener mental
anguish in the knowledge that she is g
thing of horror to be abhorred and
Stunned by human kind, with no hope
in the future except the grave which
shall hide her deformities from the
gaze of her fellow beings.

THE WORKING PEOPLE OF PARIS.
denizens of Paris, says the correspond
ent of the London Era, are furnished
by that indefatigable explorer, NJ.
Maxine du Camp. It appears. then,
that even in this gay city there are no
less than SIG, 900 working people one
half of these are women-a fact that
proves that the fair sex of Paris are not
lazy. The rag-picking profession has
fallen off since the Commune, and now
numbers only 5000. There are seven
large houses whose commerce consists
entirely in the purchase and sale of old
postage stamps. We have also ffty-one
dealers in false hair, and ], ,158 BARRIERS
and hairdressers, who in 1872 sold no
less than 102, 900 kilogrammes of chign-
ons,-a kilogramme is equal to two
pounds. This article of modern toll
ct, says the writer, g is becoming so
difficult to find that agents have been
sent out to China to buy up the tails of
the poor" OF f1ower-makers there are
5000, and, owing to the Imperial rage
for vtolets, the number of that political
emblem sold last year rose to 5000, 900.
The employers or patrons figure at S9,-
600, and some idea of their ionorability
may be gathered from the fact that
there were only l, ,S62 bankruptcies and
called liberal professions are 1,S78
learned and literary men 9, 42O scuIp-
tors, painters, and actors,-of the latter
2,O59 are ladies, A touching fact among
this sea of figures is that, whereas the
literary gentlemen have only 800 do
mestics, they support by the work of
their brain no less than 2,258 persons,
chiefly parents. OF doctors we have
1,726, which is about one to every 900
inhabitants. Behind this medical army
come 100 soInnambu1ists, 561 midwives,
528 herborists, and 734 apothecaries
Next, Paris comprises 16, 256 landlords
and 54, 872 retired tradesmen, whose
fortune, in the majority of cases, is the
result of early perseverance, privation
and economy. NJ. Maxine du Camp
contends that there is not city III the
world where the people work more than
in Paris, in spite of the 300, 1000 idlers
on the boulevards, the $50 concert cafes,
the 238 public halls, the $4,000 wine
shops, and the 1925 billiard-boards.
The workmen here are paid once fort
night, on the Saturday. The week that
follows is invariably a dull one in the
shops, since the majority of the men
pay their devotions to est. Lundi un-
til their pockets become empty, and
they are forced to return to the bench
to replenish them. This is fact which
should be borne in mind by those who
indulge in invidious comparisons be-
tween the French oatUrier and the En-
glish workman.
