Young Egner Makes Full C0nlessiou
M TO the Murder Of Schilling.
Cincinnati Telegram Nov. 10Y

Young Egner has made full confess
sion tonight. duplicating himself. his
father, and George Rufer. Rufer pro-
posed the murder on Saturday night.
in his fathers bed room, and the three
hid In the tan yard, waiting half an
hour. When Schelling came along he
lit lamp and went into the stable to
groom the horse. They followed him.
and Geo. Rufer struck him several
times with stick. knocking him down
twice. Then his father took a five
pronged fork and stabbed Schilling two
or three times in the bowels with it, and
also in the leg. This killed him. Rufer
dragged the body into the yard and
proposed to put it in the vat, but said.
better put in the furnace. so he could
not be found" This was done, and

was made to Coroner Maley tonight.

Death of a Washington Clergyman
in His Pulpit.

Last Sunday about II clock, Rev.
Ii. 4. Hysire, pastor of the Twelfth
Street Methodist Church, Washington,
while preaching his morning sermon.
was taken suddenly ill, and expired in
the pulpit Immediately afterward.
When he entered the pulpit, he an
nounced to the congregation that he
was suffering from Inflammation of the
throat, and that his discourse would be
short in consequence Of it. He then
proceeded with his sermon on "The
Word of Life When about half
through he stopped suddenly
and remarked that he
felt very sick, and. placing his hand to
his forehead, as If IN pain, exclaimed.
Jesus save me, save me, Lord" and
staggering back against the sofa, fell in
half reclining position. Several of
the congregation rushed to his assistance
first among whom was lis wife, who,
lifting his head to her shoulder. asked.
do you feel sick!' He replied, yes"
and sinking back, breathed his last.
Drs. Adams and McKim were called,
but too late to render aid, as he had ex-
pIred. After a consultation, they con-
cluded that the cause was congestion of
the brain. After quiet was restored,
the body was placed on stretcher, and
carried to the family home on Tenth
street. Deceased was 81 years old. a
native Of Baltimore. formerly minister
Of the United Presbyterian church, and
this uaS his fret rh RON in the Motho-
dist ministry. lie Was generally beloved
by his congregation, and all who knew
him. He leaves a wife and one child.

A Beautiful Answer.

When the Emperor Of Germany was
lately on visit in distant portion of
his dominions, he was welcomed by the
school children of the village. After
their speaker had made speech for
them he thanked them. Then taking
an orange from plate, asked:
ITO what kingdom does this he.

piled the little girl.
The Emperor took gold coin from
his pocket, and holding it up, asked:
And to what kingdom does this be-
longr'
ITO the mineral kingdom, SIRE" re-
piled the little girl.
And to what kingdom do belong,
t.aen :" asked the EMPEROR.
The little girl colored deeply, for she
did not like to say 1.-THE animal king
dom" as he thought she would, lest
His Majesty should be offended, when .
bright thought came, and she said with
radiant eyes:
ITO Gods kingdom, sire"
The Emperor was deeply moved. A
tear stood in his eye. He placed his
hand on the child's head, and said.
most devoutly:
Grant that may be accounted wor-
thy Of that kingdom"

Mana Sahib.
[From the New York Republic !


Fraught as the last sixteen years
have been with grand events, which
have changed the des;inies of nations
news to thrill so many hearts has, per.
haps, never flashed through the wires
as the brief message that Mana Sahib
has at last been captured.
Like thunder in clear sky the mu-
tiny OF 1851 shocked while it astound.
ed the civilized world. The Well at
Cawnpore has become a shrine. The
deuon hero Of that awful deed was
Mana Sahib. Hunted like wolf in the
field. his followers slain, his every eff
fort at resistance cast to the winds by
the fierce and sleepless wrath of the
avengers, the baffled Prince has been a
fugitive all these years. Not
for second has the
search relaxed. Every mans hand
has been armed against him. Immense
rewards have been offered, and he has
been tracked and pursued all over Asia.
Rumors brought ever and anon by fly
int Cossids would place him at Herat or
Yarkand, Aleppo or Bokahara. There
on the spur, hurried bands of the old
allies OF Great Britain in quelling the
outburst, eager to bring him back,
dead or alive. He has been captured
a dozen times, according to rumor, but
the prisoners have proved to be either
other mutineers, (who were Of course
duly executed,) or perfectly innocent
persons.
This time, however, there seems to
be no doubt about the matter. Ar.
rested in Gwaloir, his native place. and
of which he claimed the sovereign
II, he has been recognized by his cous-
in, the Maharajah Scindiah, perhaps
the most powerful and Ger ainly the
wealthiest of all the native monarchs Of
Hindoostan.
1t was from brooding over the al
legged injustice of the East India Com
pany that Mana Sahib. or rather Mana
Rao, his proper name, lashed himself to
the pitch of ruthless fury which cul-
minated in his dreadful massacres at
BithoOr and Cawnpore. He was Nah
rata Brahmin and, according to the
peculiar Hindoo law of Inheritance, the
adopted son of the Peishwa excluded
nearer relations. When he died the
British government refused to recog.
nize Nano Rao. and placed Scindiah on
the musrod. The disappointed Prince,
a cultivated man, braved the dis
pleasure Of his friends, the very
tenets of his religion, crossed
the forbidden Kala PAM, or
BLACK Waters and for years peryad.
ed the precincts Of the English Court.
He was unsuccessful. He returned to
India, and to purge himself of his sins
against the ceremonial law, passed
through gigantic golden COW, which
was afterward melted up and divided
among 5000 Brahms. He became
quite society man with the English
officers, and was remarkably gallant TO
the ladies. Arab horses and Cashmere
shawls were frequent tributes from this
unusually affable Hindoo. Milder than
mis- proverbially mild face, his ferocity,
when it did break out, was as that of a
tiger of his countrys jungles. He
brought mourning to the whole nation,
with whom the world synpathized.
That he has been caught is browning
satisfaction.

ENGLISH COMMENTS,
On the Recent Elections in This
Country.


The London Times, commenting edi-
torially upon the recent democratic
victory in the United States says:
ut is fortunate that at present there
is no serious issue raised between the
parties on Union or State affairs as re-
vealed by the elections. 1t gives &C.
casion for some anxiety to know that
when Congress meets in March the
new House will be controlled by large
Democratic majority. Yet, in spite of
all this, General Grant will remain in
office till 1877.
NOT AMBNABLE TO THE POPULAR VOICE.
''There is no power in the constitu-
ton to change single member of the
not induciable here, where
we have an amenable gov
ernment, rather than the approval of
particular men or spirit of opposition.
The discredited Ministers would retire
from office before the meeting of Par
Lament. An attempt to maintain a
similar state Of affairs would be passion
ately resented in France; yet it is
borne in America without remonstrance,
the victors patiently waiting the fruits
which are to be found in their success
sion to the Federal government. The
events of the week betoken the con-
domination of Grant.
BUTLER S FATE.
''The rejection Of General Butler is,
perhaps, attributable to his resentment
against the President when using his
influence at last year S election to Sc
cure the Governorship Of Massachu-
SETS"
. CITIZEN DIsTRUsT OF POLITICAL PARTIsANs.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
There is no doubt but that a pro-
found distrust of men such as Came
ron, Conkling, Morton and Butler has
taken hold Of the mind of the people
who were otherwise contented to vote
with their party. The most important
result of the contest is the complete
success of the Democratic party. The
Democratic reaction in the South
wrecked the prospects Of the Republi-
cans south Of Mason and Dixon's line,
and seriously injured it elsewhere. The
fact is clear that the majority given in
favor Of the Democratic candidates con-
stitutes a serious warning for the next
Presidential contest. The attitude of
the Republicans resembles very much
that which was assumed by the liberal
leaders in England in the month of Feb
ruary last-viz., to accept the success
of their political opponents with
fortitude, disbelieving that there is
permanent change in the senti-
nent or principles of the people.
THE VERDICT OF TIE COUNTRY.
''The verdict Of the country is pro-

The STANDARD says in a leader this
morning much the same thing as the
Pail Mall Gazstte.
The Morning Post estimates the
Democratic majority az from sixty.fou

by opening his lips. The assertions Of

The Southern Planter.

There must, and will be, a radical change in
the conduct of the next generation of planters.
The younger men are, think, convinced that
it is mistake to depend on Western and North
ern markets for their daily consumption, and
for nearly everything which goes to make life
tolerable. But the elders, grounded by a life
time of habit in the methods which served them
we'll under slave regime, but which are ruin
GUS nowadays, will never correct themselves.
They will continue to bewail the unfortunate
fate to which they think themselves condemned
OR will rest assured that they can do very
we'll in the present chaotic condition of things,
provided Providence does not allow their crops
to fail. They cannot be brought to see that
their only safety lies in making cotton their
surplus crop; that they must absolutely dig
their sustenance, rs well as their riches, out
of the ground. Before the war, a planter who
owned q plantation of two thousand acres, and
two hundred negroes upon it, would, when ne
came to make his January settlement with his
merchant in town, invest whatever there was to
his credit in more land and more negroes. Now
the more land he buys the worse he is of, be-
cause he finds it very hard to get it worked up
to the old standard, and unless he does, he can
ill afford to buy supplies from the world at the
heavy prices charged for them-or if be can do
that, he can accomplish little else. AS most
of his capital was taken from, him by the series
of events which liberated his slaves, ne has been
compelled, since the war, to undertake his
planting operations on borrowed capital, or, in
other words, has relied OH merchant or mid
die man to furnish food and clothing for his
laborers and all the means necessary to get his
crop, baled and weighed, to the market. The
failure of his crop would, of course, cover him
with liabilities; but such has been his fatal
persistence in this false system that he has been
able to struggle through, as in Alabama, three
successive crop failures. The merchant, some.
what reconciled to the anomalous condition of
affairs by the large profits he can make on
iin,se himself pushed endurance and courage to an
extreme point, and when he dare give credit
no longer, hosts of planters are often placed in
the most painful and embarrassing: positions.
So they gather up the wrecks of their fortunes,
pack their Lares and Penates in an emigrant
wagon or car, and doggcdly work their way to
as.-Scribner's Monthly.

BIRTHPLACE of Columbus.

Tradition makes Cogoleto, small town
few miles from Genoa, the birthplace OF Co.
lumbus, and there is an inscription which
marks the house of his reputed birth. 1t may
be true, and it may be false-for, in this land
of tradition and superstition, it is as easy TO
fabricate tradition as an inscription, and Gre
dulity is ready to believe that it is as old as
Adam. The house of his father was in the sub
urbs of Genoa, as is shown by the deed. lie
himself, says, he was born in Genoa; an expires,
sion which may we'll moan the territory, and
not the city, of Genoa. There is, therefore,
some color for the tradition, and it is not worth
While to dig deeper to find doubts. He was a
Ligurian, and nothing could be more likely to
sharpen his curiosity and suggest life of ad-
venture than to look out from these rocky
highlands upon the Mediterranean washing the
field at its base and covered with the little, but
daring and enterprisng corsairs of the Levant,
the Grecian Archipelago, and the African
