OnIo.-Obio votes on her new COnstitu.

thinks that it has grown in popularity, and,
We suppose, will be adopted by large ma.
jority. That paper, commenting upon the
Constitution, suggests that 'the American
"who cannot draft constitution for the or
"ganzation of State on short notice, is
" hardly to be found" Very true. If such
wretches as UNDER WOOD and his colleagues
can frame constitution for Virginia-the
most famous of the "Old Thirteen I've

THE BosToS Boy FIEND's LAST COMES
sloN.-The telegraph has already announced
that on Saturday last Jesse PomerOy, the ju-
venle murderer of South Boston, confessed
to the murder of the Millen boy in Dorces.
ter marshes in April last. He had already
confessed to the murder Of the Curran girl.
He says that on the morning OF the I'D OF
April he met the Millen boy on Eighth
street, South Boston, and was at once seized
with desire to torture him.
He asked the boy if he would like to see
the steamer, and the boy answering in the
affirmative, both OF them started off towards
the Dorchester. marshes. Arriving there,
Jesse asked the Millen boy TO lay down, and
he Immediately did so. Then young Pome-
roy sprang upon him, and, while holding his
left hand over the boys mouth to prevent
an outcry, he cut his throat with the same
knife that he used in killing Katie
Curran. Pomeroy says the Milien boy
struggled fearfully, and, thinking that
the first wound was not fatal, he
stabbed him repeatedly in the bowels and
chest, and then left him in dying condition.
After cleaning his knife and his clothes he
came Immediately over to Boston Common,
where he remained some hours before re.
turning home. He gives the same reason
for killing the boy that he does for killing
the girl, saying that he could not help it, and
he wanted to see how he would act. He
says he had no intention Of killing any one
until he met the Milen boy, and when he
saw MIN he could not resist the desire to tor
ture him.
Every part of the written confession OF
both crimes is prepared With an eXactness
and minuteness worthy of All experienced
reporter. He used for the principal heading
"JcsSe H. Pomeroy," and then the sub
headings that followed we're: "Katie Cur
ran,'' g The Motive" Horace 81. Milen,"
"The Motive" His motive for killing the
Miilen boy, he says, was "unintelligible.'''
lie was led on by a power he could not re-
sist. In speaking Of the Curran girl he says
| be did not know her. He awoke that morn
ing with pain in his head and dizzine:s
about his eyes. He could not resist the de.
mand upon him, and be did the deed.
| The terrible spirit that possessed him
seems to leave him with q feeling the oppo-
site to that of responsibility. BE speaks OF
bis acts with sang .froid and gives the de.
tails In terrible manner. lie says that the
Curran girl gasped after he cut her throat
and as she fell be put his hand over her
mouth and cut again. When asked If be
again went into the cellar he said, :" oh, yes;
often to the water-closet; but never dared
look back of it." In both cases be says he
had no premonition that he was to do such
awful things. He was "swayed into then
| by power not to be shaken Off"
! His reasoning in conversations are cool
passing cool. To one he said "Now, The
papers publish ridiculous story. They say
that after whipped boy on owder-Horr
bill, I poured salt water on him. How
ridiculous Where could get salt Watel
up there2 / don't like such things to ge
into the newspapers, for it hurts q youns
mans reputation to have such things pub
lished about him."

,iwo Thousand Feet under Granite
rHs BraLElGH TuEsEL. g

A correspondence the Gnctnnatl COIL
metridl has been writing from Geergeto WD,s
colombo. concerning the silver mines Of
hat region, and In recent letter gives an ac-
count of visit to the Burleigh tunnel, now
being bored In the face Of Sherman noun.
tain. Colorado, 1900 feet below its summit,
ant, which has now reached length OF l,i2o
feet. II was begun 10 1853, and at presenl
| It is being pushed only at the rate OF ten iee'
per week. The fastest progress ever ma', e
vas twenty feet week, and at that ra'e u :
would take eight yearsto reach the cenlre :. =.
the mountain; so that 1t Is very mani'es'
that the patjence and pluck of the investors
in the Tunnel Company VIII DC soie's
tested.
The aranite through which they are boring
is not so solid as it would appear at hrst test,
FIR the whole interior OF the mountain is
COO mod st different intervals with new and
neculiar kinds of rock. Many otthese gus
ron on the sides of the tunnel by the reflec-
ton of the candles Of the workmen, anu Tue
u,;ni,iated would deem them rich with pure
silver ore. but that "all is not gold that
olittcrs~ is never more forcibIy illustrated
than in the mines. In literal truth one may
conclude with HORACE, There is not lustre
oc lt.elf in silver which niggard earth con-
cesls," for pyrites, whether of iron or cop
ner. and even common slickensides" give
TO, til more lustre than silver.
The only silver ore that looks rich and sill
very to the impractical eye is the bright
yaena, and that Is generally the poorest. In
all these seams there are seldom any that
contain ore, and not more than one in ten
will pay to work, For instance, an ounce Of
gold in q ton is only one twenty.four thou
sandth part of the whole mass, and rs gold
is worth only twenty dollars an ounce, it
would not pay to, work.so much rock for SO
small return. Three ounces in q ton, or
sixty dollars, IS considered very rich rock,
and will meet with ready sale at the mills.
One vein of ore Of rather low grade fifteen
feet in width has been passed in Burleigh
tunnel, and more recently one richer in
quality, of which big results are expected.
TIE tunnel is worked by Cornish miners,
who stand in slime and mire three inches
deep in an atmosphere SO cold that they can
not stop work but few minutes without
great discomfort and physical danger.
Though living in perpetual darkness these
brawny Cornishmen readily appreciate the
difference between the atmosphere of night
and day, and experience in the mines proves
the curious fact that there is "dying hour
about or O'Clock in the morning, when
tie workmen feel themselves weaken from
their labor, and as one Of the miners re-
marked. "then e. best O. us gie's the hon.
mer sloight drop and feels bis strength
asoin'."
The Burleigh tunnel comes under large
collection of rich mines, many of them not
extensively developed, and the question re-
mains: Will the tunnel strike these lodes,
for its, course will take it two thousand
feet under the deepest workings in any Of
them? "Quien sabey" as the miners have it.

CONCLUSION.

This cannot be the case in the Ross abduc-
ton. The reward Of $4,000 offered By the
citizens, over the signature OF the Mayor, by
proclamation. is SO guarded that it will avail
nothing unless the abductors are produced.
The project for cash by outside parties has
failed here. and will continue to fail. The
people will tolerate no tampering with a
crime of this kind, and as trips to Bear,
Md, and other out of the way places have
failed, would it not be good idea for the
police authorities of the city to look little
closer home, instead of going so far e stield :"

Settlers on Lake Shetick were much de-
moralized recently by the appearance of a
warlke band Of Sioux, who we're heavily
armed and made warlike demonstrations.
Many of the settlers left homes, cattle, and
everything, and fled TO Marshall. At the
latter place also more than the usual number
of Indians were noticed in town, and their
manner was very bold and defiant. One of
them hoasted that he had taken six scalps in
the past few days. He probably lied. Lake
Shetick is in Murray county.
