Arrest ora Gin. House burner.

In December, 1873, the gin house on
the plantation of Mr.. Gibson, on the
Little Rock railroad, about six miles
from Hopefeld, in Crittenden county,
Arkansas, was destroyed by fire, as was
also its contents, several bales of cotton
belonging to the negroes who worked on
the plantation. The affair was a mys-
terry for over a year, but some weeks
since it was developed that the incen-
diary was an old negro named Bob Ere,
leigh. The in~cendiary left the planta.
ton not long since, after informing an
other negro that he was the incendiary.
Yesterday Mr.. Gibson was in this city,
and on being informed of Freleigh's
whereabouts went out in a spring wagon
and captured him. Yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Gibson drove up to the Adams street
station-house with the prisoner, who was
securely tied. He was locked up to await
a requisition from the Governor of Ar.
kansas.

Tho Logic Of a Finger.

The Adams street station-house CO.
nundrum is: What is to be done with
that human finger found in the posses
sion of the negro George BullerY' Asa
station.house philosopher puts it: Why
is it that that which is an object of adj
miration in life Ia lady's fnger) should
become an object Of adherence when
separated from the body after death?
1t is the same matter, only appearing
under different surroundings. Does it
prove that the adherence has its origin
in the innate fear of death, which lies
deep in every human mind; if so, is i.
not a spiritual idea or impression materi.
alized2 And if so, what principle Of life
gives rise to that impression2 Is it an
echo of the past spirit life or a fore
shadowing of the future, dimly pre-
scented, yet e~xisting9' Our reporter
gave the conundrum up and shook his
head, fearing either to admit or deny the
logic Of the philosopher, who was driving
onward to some conclusion. But he
continued his Platonic discourse. II
would like to have the necessary appa-
ratus and apply heat to that finger in
order to see what kind of life would
evolve therefrom." Our reporter gently
answered in a vague and non.committal
manner, Probably worms" Posi-
bly," replied the Sage, "or some other
species Of the lower order of animal
life; but should that be the result, then
Professor Tyndal was right when he
asserted in his Belfast lecture that "he
could find in all matter the potency and
the promise Of all liie," it merely re
curing certain elements to develop
such, the germ Of life being everywhere
in matter.
Our mystifed reporter after recklessly
attempting to follow the memorable
logic pointed out by that shriveled
finger and explained by the philosopher,
broke the spell by inquiring, Have you
any news2' "Nothingl" exclaimed the
disguised scientist as he walked back to
the station-house stove.
