THERE has been no end of bottle,
about the diamonds presented by the
khedlvo Of Egypt to Gen. Sherman S
daughter, Minnie Fitch. They still.
remain locked up in the New York
sub-Treasury, and, unless they are
soon taken away, they will be classi-
fed as unclaimed goods and sold by
auction to pay the duties and stor-
age. The trouble is that Congress in
authorizing Lieut. Fitch to receive
the present to his wife, neglected to
relieve him from the payment of the
duties. The necklace and earrings,
which compose the gift, We're first
said to be worth $25O,000, but experts
have since ceappralsed them at S75, 900.
The duty on this amount would be
about $4,000. Gen. Sherman feels
that he is too poor to pay this, and he
is unwilling to appeal to Congress
for an exemption Of the payment of
the duties. On the whole Mrs. Fitch 9
splen lid present isn't quite so much
an object Of envy as it mighl be.

UIRDER Will OUT.

Many and many a murderer has
succeeded for years in concealing and
covering up from public view bloody
deeds, but as a general thing murder
will out, anc the guilty perpetrators
Will be punished. 1t is related that
upon one occasion two French merch-
ants We're travelling to a fair in com.
u:ay, tr:! "hi!o passing through a
wood one OF them murdered the other
and robbed oim Of his money. Hav-
ing executed his wicked work he bur
led his victim Of his violence in order
10 prevent discovery, but lie little
thought that there was a dumb wit
ness present which would bear tosti-
monv against him and secure his con-
viction. The murdered man was ac-
companied BY a faithful doI, which
remained at the grave after the mur-
deYer had taken his departure and
proceeded on his journey. The dog
kept UP his hideous howliug over the
grave Of his master, which attracted
the attention of persons in tie neigh
borhood, who at once suspected that
tie murder had been committed by
some merchant or merchants going to
the fair. Accordingly they kept
watch at the grave until the merch-
ants began to return in the evening.
AS soon az the murderer came in sight
the dog sprang upon him most furious
" aud would have torn him to pieces
if he had not been prevented by The
persons present. He was at once ar
rested, confessed his crime, and, after
undergoing trial, was executed.
When DR.. Donne, who afterwards
became Dean of st. Paul's in London,
first entered upon his ministerial du-
ties in country parish he walked
into a churchyard just when the sex
ton was digging a grave. Observing
a skull lying close by, he took it in
his hands and examined it closely, and
to his astonishment found there was
a headless nail sticking in the temple,
which he quietly drew out and wrap
ped in the corner Of his handkerchief.
He then inquired of the sexton if he
knew whose skull it was, and the re-
ply was, "Yes, it is the skull of man
that kept brandy shop, who, after
drinking two quarts Of brandy one
night, was found dead in his bed the
next morning" Inquiry was then
made as to whether the man had a
wife, and if she bore a good character.
The response to these inquiries was,
"She bears a very good character, but
her neighbors reflected on her because
she married the day after her husband
was buried"
From this interview with the sex
ton, the doctor thought he had deri-
we'd enough of data to work up a case.
He then visited the woman, asked her
how often she was married, and Of

municated with the police of Warren
county, New Jersey, whence, as soon
as the intelligence was received, two
gentlemen started at once for Cleve-
land and learned the facts as stated
The prison in which Cunningham was
confined was then visited and the
keeper said to him : "Cunningham,

YOU On hearing these words the
joints of his knees smote against each
other, he became white as sheet and
tremble0 from head to foot. He was
at once removed to New Jersey where
he now awaits his trial, and it is to
be hoped he will ere long meet the
doom his devlish deeds deserve.
Vengeance is sometimes slow ir
overtaking the wicked, but, though
tarly occasionally, it is sure to come.
No matter how sklllful)y malefactors
may conceal their crimes, nor how
long they may evade the clutches of
the law, they may Test assured their
sins will find them out, and often in
such ways as they never in the least
dreamed Of.
Cunningham thought, no doubt,
that having escaped detection for nine
years, and being far away from the
murderous deed he was safe, and that
having evaded punishment for the
murder Of one woman he might with
impunity indulge in the pleasant and
agreeable pastlme Of abusing and lac
Grating others, according to MS desire.
But the day Of reckoning has come to
him, as.it will come, sooner or later,
to others who are now perIormingt
deeds Of darkness. No guilty man
should escape, and we believe none
will. In some form or other theirI
iniquities will overtako them.
