How the Girls Scared a Burglar.

One of the best incidents Of the burg
lar season, an incident which occurred
early in July, now see the light for the
first time. Just before the Fourth of
July one of our citizens left home on a
brief visit with his wife, leaving the
house in charge of the eldest daughter,
who had only q younger girl with herfor
company. A hired man slept IN m of
the lower rooms of the house at night in
order to afford protection. Every thing
passed off pleasantly until nearly the
time fixed for the return of the father
and mother on the I'd or Sd day of July.
Previous to the departure from the city
of the gentleman referred to he had
purchased a lot of fireworks with which
to celebrate the Fourth and amuse the
family, and these fireworks were stored
in one of the upper rooms. On the
evening of the I'd the young lady and
her companion retired as usual, fearing
nothing, since the hired man was sleep.
ing as usual down stairs. In the course
of the night. they were awakened by 8
noise at one of the lower windows, and
discovered hat a burglar WA trying to
effect an entrance. The noise made did
not awaken the hired man, and the
alarmed girls dared not go down stairs to
arouse him. At the same time they
feared to let the burglar know of their
presence, having the wrong impression
that should they scream the burglar
would suspect them to be helpless, and
10 come in boldly. In the extremity a
bright idea occurred. They resolved
to let off the fireworks. The rockets
and crackers were found, taken slyly to
a window above the one where the burg
lar was at work, and as many of them as
could be ignited at INC lighted and
tossed out together. There was a great
report, the air was full of fire for a mo-
ment, and the terrified burglar
bounded away at full speed, evidently
supposing himself the target for half a
dozen revolvers ! A more original way
of getting rid of q robber was certainly
never devised.-&. Louis Repubti-

A " JunneIist,s Juel.y

"Majah" Edwards and "Majah" Fos-
ter are distinguished ~"junnelists" of
st. Louis: Majah Edwards sheds his
PHOSPHORUS in the columns of the
Times, while Majah Foster eats catfish
and exudes intellect in behalf of the
Evening Journal. These two estimable
gentlemen are gifted in the matter of
"onah." They locked horns in the dis
cussion of the propriety of JEFF Davis

Agricultural Association, and their re-
spective "onahsn were so abraded in
the discussion of the matter that nothing
but blood, and bloody blood atthat, could
repair the damage. So they went out
and "ft a dcol" with "~pistuals,"
loaded with actual powder and real lead.
1t was a "game" affair. Both men were
game-that is, if you call a hare or a
mountain sheep game. When the fatal
word was given Majah Foster closed his
eyes, commended his soul to God and
pulled the trigger. The bullet killed a

Edwards shut his eyes mentally, eiacu-

the trigger. His bullet grazed the ear OF

Professional Scamps.

The sharpers who infest the country,
preying upon the unsuspecting farmers,
have concocted another new scheme fol
victimizing the people. They pretend
to be hunting for stray animals. One
gets a description of an estray horse
taken up by a farmer and claims the
horse, giving a description of it as evi-
dence that he owned and lost it. Usual,
fly he states that he is a long distance
from home, and proposes to sell the ami.
NAL for much less than its value rather
than be troubled to get it home. The
farmer, unless unusually sharp, accepts
the proposition and pays the money,
when the scoundrel decamps.
One of the sharpest and meanest acts
that has been reported of tramps recent
ly occurred in Harrison county, Indiana,
a few days ago, neal Corydon. The pro
fessional scamp called at the residence
of Nh. Sims, the wool-carder, and order
ed supper for a lot of men who, he said,
would be along in a little while, with q
threshing-machine they were running.
Supper was prepared, steaming, smoking
hot, and remained on the table until cold
as a stone,S and yet no threshers came.
The tramp told the family to retire fol
the night and not wait, as probably some
accident had happened. After every one
had retired for the night, the scamp stole
about $50 worth of clothing, put out,
and has not been heard from since
nor have the threshers put in an appear.

A Physicians Carelessness.

A Chicago doctor, named Ogden, met
with an accident a few weeks since,
which for some time, from a trifing
wound, promised to become very dam
gerous. just before visiting one of his
patients he had been cleaning his finger
nails, and CHANGED to puncture the flesh
under one of them. While attending
the sick person, a drop of poisoned
blood, as it developed to be, fell upon
the tipof his finger, in~oculating the cut.
A few hours elapsed and his finger grew
to an enormous size. The swelling rap
idly extended to his hand, and after two
or three days to his arm, which was
affected to his elbow SO that it could not
be moved. 1t was feared at one time
that, to prevent a fatal result, the arm
would have to be amputated at the
elbow; but with a great deal of care and
proper treatment, after an illness of nine
weeks, the medical gentleman is able
once more to attend to his professional
duties.

TRUTH win Out...A Strange Story,

A story with several morals comes from
Windsor, Conn. Forty years ago there
was a bank at Windsor. One morning
the Cashier opened the locked vaults and
found everything in perfect order, In
GLIDING an envelope that held, the even
ing before, $50, 1000. But the money was
gone. Detectives were summoned. They
struck what they thought to be a trail,
and followed it straight to the house of
Thomas Emerson, the President Of the
bank. The, evidence against him was
wholly circumstantial, but it seemed
pretty clear. Within a few short weeks,
Emerson exchanged his home at Wind
sor for a cell at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
those terrible 4x9 cells in which Connec-
ticut used to suffocate as well as starve
their felons. The ex-President lived
several years within those gloomy stone
walls, ard then came out to find himself
an o~utcast, hated by the plundered COM
munity which had nce honored him.
He to be an old man; but his crime
was never forgotten, and he went down
to the grave with "thief" stamped upon
him. The verdict was on record. Every
one knew it. His feeble protests were
vain to shake the settled conviction of his
sin. Years after the grass grew over his
body, a chance stroke of a workman's
hammer proved his innocence, and
showed that he was one OF the many vic
tins of circumstantial evidence. The
Cashier of the bank, the man who dis
covered the theft, died about the time
the ~ex-convict did. The odor of sane
tity hung about him. His memory was
cherished at Windsor as that of a truly
good man. In an evil moment for his
memory the present occupant of his old
house decided to have it repaired. While
the carpenters were at work, on Monday
of last week a misdirected blow with
hammer sank the head of that tool into q
wall. A moments investigation showed
that the place held the money stolen
from the Windsor Bank forty years ago.
Unless circumstantial evidence is again
playing tricks with the truth, the Cashier
stole the money, hid it, allowed a per
fectly innocent man to drag out his life
with the terrible curse of a conviction
for felony resting upon him, and was
afraid to ever use the money for the saks
of which he bartered his soul. Th,

ness of the night, 1 heard the tramp
of the policeman. 1t vas some distance
of.
"You will find," 1 said, "some
clothes of mine in the press they will,
however, be too small for you. Good
night !; the keys are in the middle draw
en-"
He turned to the drawer indicated,
and as he did SO, with one tremendous
bound I cleared the space between my
bed and the door, slammed the door,
and locked it upon him. Oblivious of
my dishabille, Isprang to the steps. I
had two flights to descend and the door
to open before I could reach the yard,
but it was hardly possible for him to
descend the ladder more quickly.
Bounding rather than running down
stairs, I flung back tee bolt and dashed
into the yard. He was half way down
the ladder.
Shouting "police !" Justify, 1 seized
the ladder at the bottom, and, using all
my power, brought it and the burglar to
the ground with a crash. The pistol he
held in his hand dropped from his grasp.
I made a dash for it, and he, springing
to his feet like a cat, made a rush at me,
and as I stopped seized me by the
nape of the neck. turned the pistol
upward and pulled the trigger. 1t mere
ly snapped there were no more charges
in it.
With a terrible oath, the bafied vii
lain wrenched the pistol from my grasp
and raised it aloft to deal me what
might have proved a fatal blow,
when there was a rush behind him
and he was feIled to the ground.
The policeman had heard my shout and
was Just IN time to rescue me.
The burglar was soon secured and IL
my excitement 1 was about to relate
the story I have here told, wher
the policeman with a smile suggested
that I might "ketch cold in then
clothes"
I then remembered for the first time
since I had sprung from bed, that 1 wa
shoeless and stockingless, and had moth
ing on but my night shirt, and I beat
hasty retreat. With a long draw
breath, 1 took my fine gold repeatel
which had such a narrow escape, and wa
not at the watchmaker's at all, from
under my pillow, looked at the hour
turned in, and after a little while fee
asleep.
The above story, narrated afterwar'
to a jury when l was in better trim TO
storytelling than I was when the police
man interrupted me, had the effect o
giving my visitor lodgings in a publ
institution, and secured me against
repetition of his call for at least tel
wears.
