MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 23.-Last week
VIM: Kingbury, Jordan Ivey, Van Hal
fer, Henry Wood, Corey Young and
Vincent Petty, all colored, were arrest
ed at West Point, Mississippi, for sys.
tematic robbery of the freight cars of
the Mobile & Ohio railroad. All of
them are prominent colored men, Petty
being county treasurer and Ivey an
Alderman. Their mode of
operations was for one or two of a gang
to force an entrance into the cars while
stopping at West Point, and to shut
themselves in the car until the train
had gotten uuder way and then to
throw off cotton, merchandise, etc.,
which was gathered up by the others
and taken to Ivey's or Petty's
stores, where the marks were
destroyed and the goods or cotton sold.
They have been operating for long
time, and it is supposed their robberies
amount to many thousand dollars. On
being arrested, Kingsbury made con.
fession which led to the arrest of the
others, some Of whom made full confess
sion on being arrested. Petty was ar.
rested as an accessory, two bales of cot
ton teing found in his store, and he
gave bonds in eli ght hundred dollars to
answer before the grand jury.

TALLY one FOR WESTON.
From. the New York Sun. 2lst.1

The indomitable Weston finished his
journey of FIVE hundred miles in the
Newark Industrial Exposition building
at thirty-niae and quarter minutes
past II O'Clock on Saturday evening,
thus completing his task in twenty-five
minutes and three quarters less than
|lsix days, tbs walk having begun at five
minutes past midnight on the morning
of Monday, Dec. IA. This is his rec:
ord; but he actually walked more than
five hundred miles, as he made the cir.
cult Of his track in the absence of two
of the judges, and rather than have
any loop.hele for charge of unfair.
ness in the count, he insisted that the
judges should not count those laps, and
that they should put on the records
only what they themselves saw and
could swear to.
On the first day Weston walked one
hundred and fifteen miles in tifty-eight
seconds less than twenty-four hours.
He then rested 4h., SON., and l2;. On
the second day he walked IS miles and
rested 6h., l2m., and 33s. His third
days walk was so miles, and his rest
-lh.. 5lm., and OILS. Fourth day, 80
miles; rest, 3h.. 45m., l2s. Fifth day
IS miles; rest. 4h., 47m., 53s. On the
sixth day he walked IS miles, resting
only 27m., and 55s., much Of his food
being given him by his physician while
he continued his walk on the track.
His average time was fourteen minutes
and fourteen seconds to the mile. His
fastest time was made on the 225th and
23Oth miles. These he made in ten
minutes and eighteen seconds.
The exhibition building was crowded
on Saturday evening so that there was
scarcely y standing room, and there
having been rumors that some New
York roughs who had bet against Wes.
ton intended to interfere and prevent
him from making his 500 miles, Judge
Mills and the Mayor and the Chief Of
Police of Newark had the place sur
rounded by strong force of policemen.
The conclusion of the journey was
greeted with thunders of applause, and
after the subsistence of the cheering it
was announced that q number of the
PEDESTRIANS Newark admirers had sub.
scribed for a $500 gold watch and .
purse OF 81 900, to be presented to him
on day to be designated by him this
week.
Mr.. Henry G. Jarrett. manager of
Booths theatre, having wagered near y
$4,000 on Weston's success, was natur.
ally solicitous about Saturdays effort,
and, therefore, repeatedly sent encour-
aging dispatches to Newark. In the
evening Weston responded as follows !:
"Success assured. l am the hero Of the
hour. Save me a box for Monday
night.' Weston will visit Booths this
evening accompanied by the mayor of
Newark and other New Jersey dignita-
ries.
Weston slept in his room in the Ex-
position building, and on awaking yes
terday morniks joined his family in the
Mansion House. Later in the day he
accompanied Mr.. Thomas T. Kinney. of
the Newark Daily Advertiser, to Asso.
citation Hail, and listened to the first
sermon of the Rev. DR.. Nicholson, of
the new Reformed Episcopal Church.
H. says that he will go to Europe in
February.

A Few Words to Wives aud NJ others.
The women of our nation have been
classed as ''Angels Of Mercy" and
they have proved true, not only on the
battle field, as we have often witnessed.
but also in the sick chamber. 1t is
they who have moulded the character
of all our great men. 1t is they who
teach the little ones their morning and
evening prayer, and ever point them to
the blessed Savior. They are ever to
be found in the front ranks where any
movement is on foot for the ameliora-
ton of the human race. Their advice
and counsel are often sought by hus.
bands on matters Of important
business, and if all hus-
bands would in every instance
consult and counsel with their wives in
matters of business, &C., there would
be less vice and bankruptcy in the
world, as they are noted for their
quick perception and often surpass the
shrewdest business man in judging
character. But when consulted and
counseled in regard to Life Insurance,
they (many Of them) seem to be at
fault. They seem to look upon Life
Policy as precursor of death. They
often cry out II want none Of your
blood money!" Madam, that is harsh
expression. Could you not modify it
by saying Glove money!" as many a
! devoted, unsel6sh husband has
! deprived himself Of many
of the luxuries and even the
comforts Of life that he may be enabled
to carry Life Policy. You are strong
while a husband lives and loves you,
but you are weak, oh! so weak, when
you go upon the world husbandless and
penniless. Do not oppose Lifo Insur-
ance, as by so doing you may be court.
ing future poverty and want. Tickle
fortune may consisn you to the mid
night lamp and the needle as your only
shield to keep the wolf from the door,
and your little ones, too, may prema-
turely be consigned to the factorv or
workshop, where they will be
deprived of your moral influ-
ence, and also of education, which is so
essential to their future success and
happiness. God pity those who pass
through such gate of sorrow. Re-
member that you live in cold, unchar-
table world. The friend 4hat now
surround you while in prd [ity will
visit you in your hour 6ftrial and
aff]iction and sympathize deeply with
you, but they will give you no aid.
They will freely bestow their tenedic-
tions but withhold their benefactions.
Your opposition to Life Insurance is
unnatural and unreasonable. There
fore, take our advice and oppose it no
longer.
