WHO MURDERED HIM?

Two gentlemen sat slipping their wine
after dinner, and talking in the leisurely,
disconnected way which, together with
their attitudes, showed that they both
were taking mental as well as bodily rest
after the labors of the day. They were
representatives of two of the learned
professions, each a man of mark in his
calling, the one tall, strongly-built, with
a massive head and a thoughtful and
benevolent aspect; the other much
smaller, wiry, agile, with keen, marked
features man evidently profound as
well as astute, and though not handsome,
one calculated to arrest attention, wher-
ever encountered.
The first was a distinguished physi-
clan, the other an equally distinguished
lawyer. The physicians investigation
and testimony as an expert had been
procured in case just closed, in which
his legal friend was the prosecuting
attorney. The labors of both had been
arduous, and neither was averse to the
rest and quiett1de which the close of the
trial made possible to them. They were,
and had long been, warm personal
friends, and were now dining together
at the lawyers rooms, and indulging in
the easy converse, broken by long
silences, which their familiar f1iendli-
ness warranted. aa.
The case had been decided against the
prosecution, the jury, after not more
than half an hours absence, bringing in
verdict of not guilty, which had been
received with cheers and other express
sions Of appreciation by the closely
crowded audience which had listened to
the closing scenes of the trial, and many
of the persons composing which had
attended day after day through its entire
continuance.
&C / did not look to see you so little an
noyed by the result of this trial, " said
the physician to his friend. g You
seemed flushed and weary, but there
was an expression of relief upon your
features, if one may judge from the few
signs betrayed by countenance SO
closely guarded when the verdict was
announced"
''You judged rightly, DOCTOR" was the
answer. ct might tell you, as friend,
that was relieved. Facts had come to

Dutch Patience.

There is no field of human enterprise
in which their success has not been at
one time or another notable. At the
bottom of it all, apparently at the bottom
of the character on which their success
has been founded, we find their tradi-
tional jealousy of every acre Of water which
covers good land. Neglecting the poorer
lands, they have dived into the fertile
deposits lying under water and peat, and
sought there a wealth that no other
soil can equal. Seeking this they have be-
come patient, long enduring sturdy, hardy
and resolute. II lake is to be drained
they sit quietly down and count the cost,
and then devise the means for the most
effectual performance of the work this
done, the undertaking proceeds with the
regularity and the persistence of the
work of ants. If obstacles cannot be
made auxiliaries they are overcome.
The clamors of dissatisfied people are
idle, not as the wind-for the wind is
not idle in Holland but they pass I'M
needed, and steadily, day by day, the
toiling goes on until the end is gained,
and new territory has been added to
the earth's domain. Warning, IN

Wonderful Retention of Heat.

The following statement is from the
Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise of April
g.: con the 30th of October last, at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, the large air.
shaft of the Belcher mine, then COM
pleted to the 1000 foot level, took fire
and was destroyed. The timbers of the
shaft all burned out, and the rock fell in
and blocked it up. After deiberation, it
was thought that it would be better and
cheaper to sink new shaft than to try
to clear up the old one, SO badly were. it's
sides caved, and so great was the quantity
of rock that had tumbled into it. The
new shaft was sunk short distance to
the west of the old one. It has now
reached point to the 1000 foot level,
where it will be continued down on an
incline. The incline was started at the
1,OO0-foot level, and carried up to meet
the vertical portion of the shaft. The
course of this incline carried it through
the remains of the old vertical shaft, but
as it was tapped the men found they
could do nothing in it on account of the
ashes, burned earth, and rocks that
poured down into their incline. A tun-
mel was then run until it had reached
point a short distance west of the old
shaft, when vertical upraise was made
to the line of the proposed incline to be
run up to meet the new shaft. The men
then began working down on the incline
in order to reach the point from which
they were driven in trying to come up.
They have succeeded in getting into the
bottom of the old shaft, where, much to
their surprise, they find the rock still red
hot. In trying to put in timbers they
were set on fire, and in order to work at
all it is found necessary to bring line
Of hose into the place and play a stream
of water upon the rocks wedged in the
bottom of the old shaft. There is ne tim
Der on fire among the rocks. They seem
to have been heated to a degree so in
tense at the time Of the fire that they
have remained red-hot ever since. Near
ly three years after the great fire in the
Yellow Jacket Mine places were found in
the lower levels where the rock was still

man fell back ia the stiffness of death.
All this time the murderer's hand had
been upon his throat, and no distinct CRY
had escaped his lips.
:" An hour later, the murderer, having
noiselessly let himself out was at his ho-
tel. Here he changed his clothing,
burned his linen, carefully removed the
blood stains from his outer garments,
and then actually lay down and slept
peacefully until nearly noon. In fact,
as he told me, he had barely time to
make his arrangements and arrive at the
steamer before the hour for departure.
But this was his last peaceful sleep.
The stings of conscience had been more
than he could bear. He had reached
London; but, after lying i'll long time
in that city, had seen in New York pa
per the account of the arrest and indict-
ment of Roberts, for the crime he had
himself committed, and determined to
return, and if possible save him. OF
course, we had long consultation. I
did not let my new client leave me; but
after he was safe for the night, [ sat and
pondered the matter, for / found myself
placed In most trying position.
"Next day appeared in court, and [
afterward knew, to my cost, that as
tonished and surprised the audience, and
all concerned, by the wildness Of my
opening speech. No one can imagine
with what trembling solicitude l watched
the course of the trial I had contrIved
all in my power to give it favorable
turn, and was more than pleased to see
that some evidence was elected on the
part of the defense which went clearly to
invalidate the charge.
CATER trial Of four days-days of
intense anxiety to me, the murderer,
haunted me continually as he sat in
court, and to his friends-the case went
to the jury. Twenty-four hours were
passed before their verdict was rendered,
and [ know that the words not guilty
were not more welcome to poor Roberts
than to myself. He was acquitted and
discharged. The nine days wonder
passed, but even now the profession Of
ten talk of the manner I managed the
prosecution, and pronounce that my len
iency alone saved Roberts and defeated
the ends of justice. Doubtless the first
is true. But the ends of justice were de-
feated by the compulsory secret I have
borne with me ever since-my knowledge
of the true murderer.

the doctor, breaking silence for the first
time since the commencement of the

NO maddening thirst for blood had they.
NO battle JOY was theirs who set
Against the alien bayonet
Their homespun breasts in that old day.
Their feet had trodden peaceful WAYS
They loved not strife, they dreaded pain
They saw not what to us is plain
That God would make mans wrath his praise.
No seers were they, but simple men:
Its vast results the future hid:
The meaning of the work they did
Was strange and dark and doubtful then
Swift as the summons came they left
The pIoW, mld-furrow, standing still.

And shattered slavery's chain as well :
On the sky's dome, as on a bell,
Its echo struck the worlds great hour

The fateful echo is not dumb:

When, war-sick, at the feet of Peace

And gracious interchange of good.

THERE was grand battle among the
Chinese residents of Virginia City, Ne
vada, recently. The trouble opened with
a slight skirmish between two small par
ties of the contending factions, and this
aroused the warriors in all parts Of the
town, who, with revolvers in their hands.
rushed to the scene of the conflict.
Then the fight ragged on all sides, and
one hundred shots were fred. Bullets
shattered windows, splintered fences and
awning posts, and lodged in the sides of
the houses; but not one hit a human
mark. One fellow got bullet through
the crown of his hat, and he is consid-

taken, the report seeming to satisfy the
