were entered. The career of the con- vict's son, Mege, was followed up, and this man was then identified in the different cailings of valet, @ hawker, workman, soldier, etc. It was, indeed, on this part of the case that he made shipwreck and it was he himself, by the marriage, that brought Peter Mege on the scene. He was thus forced to construct new case, and make his life inconsistent with that of Mege. Other wise he might, without this disturbing element, have established his claim, for he had his hundred witnesses, the nurses, etc., against which could only be set other witnesses and the house. book. If the nurses were suborned, he might reply that the house-book might have been fabricated.
 To the last the relations rejected the man and the father, dying during the trial, made a solemn declaration, in presence of the Swiss magistrates, that his son was dead, and the claimant an impostor. The court, considering the whole case, at last gave decision in the year 1712, and decided against the plaintiff that he should be arrested and prosecuted for bigamy, 1t is to be presumed, as being the charge most easily proved: But he died in prison before being brought to trial.
 In all the stages of this curious case, even down to this prosecution on 8 collateral point, the reader will find the strangest likeness to the great Tich- borne case of our own time.

Beecher on his Love for Nature,

Oh, let me tell you little bit about myself once in a while. I wouldn't take all the books of the Alexandrian library for the comfort get out of nature. Nay, had almost said, I would rather lose my Bible than my world. There is no sunlight that does not speak to me of God. I sit down on the hillside in the summer afternoon, and the grasshopper jumps over me freshman like, jumping first end looking where he will land afterward. I sit so still that the birds forget me, and sing as though I was not there. The ants creep all over me. I am in fellowship with all. am never so near to Him. This earth is cathedral, whose windows are painted with rare beauty. Every day is leaf in Gods outside Bible. I did not once enjoy all this, but I owe to Ruskin more than to any theologian. Eyes I had, but saw not, ears had, but didn't hear. I have become Hebra- ized. I have gone back to the noble stock. to the people who learned to dis cover the invisible God by the use oi things seen

A Family Murdered.

A family of five persons, who lived near Centreville, St. Clair county, Ill, 2, were brutally murdered. The names of the victims are Fritz Steizenriede, aged 80 years, his son and daughter-in- law, and two small children, one an in- fant. The throats of the two men were cut, and the skulls of the woman and children crushed in.
 Sheriff Hughes of St. Clair county went to the scene of the tragedy, but obtained no clue to the assassins. The house is some distance from any other dwelling. It is believed that the mur- ders were committed the night before the discovery, as the bodies of Mrs. Steizenriede and her children were in the bed when found, and that of her husband on the floor beside lounge on which he slept. 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 has of- fered reward of $1, 900 for the capture of the murderers.
 At the inquest held several witnesses were examined, and facts elicited which lead to the belief that Frederick Boeltz, husband of 0 sister of Mrs. Steizen- riede committed the horrible deed. He was present, but refused to testify un- til forced, and then his answers and general conduct were such as to excite the; strongest suspicion of his guilt. He acknowledged that he had been on bad terms with the. murdered family some months, that he entertained feel ings of enmity toward them, and was in the old mans debt several hundred dollars. The fact that the house was not ransacked nor pillaged, and that the old mans money was untouched, established beyond 9 doubt that the murder was not committed for plunder, and tends more strongly to fasten the suspicion upon Boeltz.

The First of April.

A little boy having heard beautiful story about little boy and a hatchet, and how, because the little boy wouldn't tell lie, he, in time, got to be President of the United States, was very much impressed by it. Now, it so happened that on the last day of March he was just ten years old, and his father asked him what he would like to have for a birthday present. Very naturally the boys answer was, "A lit tie hatchet if you please, papa. .
 The father bought him little hatchet that very day, and the boy was 50 de- lighted that he actually took 1t to bed with him.
 Early the next morning he got up, dressed himself, took his little batchet and went out into the garden. There, as luck would have it, the first thing that caught his eye was his fathers favorite cherry tree. "My eyes p exclaimed the little boy to him. self, "what time my father would make if fellow were to cut that tree P It was wicked thought, for it led him into temptation. There was the tree tall, straight and fair-standing in vitingly before him-just the thing for sharp little hatchet. And there was the hatchet-strong, sharp and shining just the thing for favorite cherry tree. In another instant the swift strokes of an axe were heard in the still morning air, and, before long, small boy was seen running towards the house. His father met him at the door. 1
 "My boy, what noise was that heard just now? Surely you have not been at my favorite cherry tree !" ,"
 The boy stood proudly before him but with downcast eyes and flushing cheeks. "' "-'".'3
 Father" he said, "I cannot tell g lie. That cherry tree is ----" T" l

 This was too much. They boy rush ed into his fathers arms.

 "You young rascal, you r cried the father, do you mean to say you hoUe'a chopped my cherry tree 1? April foo your old fatherl will you? Take of your coat, sir !' '
 With suppressed sob, that little boy obeyed. Then, shutting his eyes he felt his fathers hand descend upor his shrinking form. l-..... F..

A Granger FNneraI.

The Leavenworth (Kansas) Tunes gives the following account of the burial of MT, Henry Bolln, a prominent granger, at Kickapoo, Kansas 1: On leaving the residence of the deceased, the hearse which contained the re- mains was fanked on either side by three pall-bearers, who walked with un- covered heads and regalia draped in mourning. Following the hearse came the relatives of the deceased, and next marched the sisters of the order, clad in full regalia. The brothers came next, and following them the vast con- concourse of people who had come from far and near to witness the ceremonies. The remains were first taken to the church, where priest went through a service peculiar to the Catholic Church, of which the deceased was member. When the exercises had been con- cluded, the procession took up its march for the cemetery, where the The coffin was placed on supports directly over the open grave, and re- mained there until the impressive and interesting services were concluded. G. B. Coffin, Master of the Franklin GTa0g6, COuuuCUGu buO COICuuoulCSs When the brothers and sisters of the grange of which the deceased was a member had assembled about the grave, tho Master read selection from the burial ritual, followed by a second selection by the Chaplain, and then the members repeated slowly and solemnly the Lords prayer, closing with beau tiful and appropriate hymn. The brothers of the order then stepped to the grave and threw into the opening several boquets of flowers and ever greens. A short but powerful address was next delivered by the Chaplain. When the coffin was being lowered, Q beautiful and soul-inspiring hymn was sung, and during the singing the sisters showered boquets of flowers upon the descending coffin until it reached the wooden box at the bottom of the grave. The Master then sprinkled 8 portion of dirt thrown from the grave overthe coffin, and the services closed with the solemn benediction of the Chaplain. Taken throughout, the ceremonies were very beautiful and impressive.

A Tale of Revenge.

A singular tale of malice comes from Philadelphia. One of the hotels there turned away a guest for bad behavior, and he swore he would have his re- venge. Shortly after, the New York papers all stated that an actress had the smallpox, and had contracted it at the hotel in question from occupying g room in which a man had died of the disease. Moreover, circular, detail ing the story, was sent to prominent hotels all over the country. In fact, however, neither the actress nor the hotel in question had the smallpox, and detectives are after the supposed libeler.

WHITE CoAb.-Australia, so remark able for its unique productions, has re- gently disclosed new treasures to the geologist and miner. This is white coal. It consists of felted vegetable flores, like peat, which contain inter- spersed between them fine grains of sand. This white coal covers large tracts, requires no mining, and is used in large quantities as fuel. It is easily combustible and burns with a bright flame.

A Threatened Strike by the Coal
...-. Miners.
A FATAL AFFRAY.

Wilkesbarre, -. Rumors are rife con-
corning a general strike among the miners
throughout the anthracite coal region and no
little excitement is already manifested. A
meeting of the miners and laborers associa-
ton in this county, held at Plymouth day
or two ago, was attended by over 700 miners.
They concluded to unite with the National or
ganization and place themselves under its
care and protection. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of the meeting that the wages for
which they have been working WE'RE too
low; that the operators could afford to pay
more and that an advance should be demand
ed for the basis Of 1874.
During an ARRAY last night at Minor sta
ton, William Brown was fatally stabbed, dy
ing in a few moments, Lewis Sucker, in
company with others, was arrested, and while
under examination, during which testimony
was elected that he stabbed Brown, he
(Stucker) fed from the court room, but in
trying to scale the high fence he was held by
his clothes catching, where the officers cap
tured him. He was taken to Jail
Prominent officers of the miners and Ia
borsrs association stated to-day that the mi
ners were fully prepared for strike for the
entire season, and under no circumstances
will they submit to a reduction of wages.
The operators in this section have not asked
for a reduction of wages, but will not con-
sent to make an advance over the basis of last
wear.

Meeting of the Stockholders the
First National Bank.

Lewiston, IL. The annual meeting of the
stockholders of the First National bank of
this city occurred to-day and resulted in the
election of the old board of directors. Al
bert L. Templeton, formerly teller, was
elected acting cashier. The report of the
committee of directors. relating to irregular
tiles of the former cashier, was made. 1t
appear that sum in the cash account was
found to be represented by q slip of paper in
the drawer, with corresponding figures. The
cash they say had been used to discount Ger
tain note that had been sent to correspond
ent banks for collection, but no entry of
transactions had been made in the books of
the bank. The notes have since been paid,
making up the deficiency in the bank account
and Mr.. Brooks has since paid the bank the
amount Of discount received on this sum.
They say that they saw cause for apprehend-
ing that this irregularity had not been the
first of the kind. They add that large sum
had been used and afterwards refunded and
has no substantial basis. The bank eustans
