Her Sweetheart.

The Jackson (Tenn. Sun vouches for
the truth of the following: During the
war there lived in the vicinity of this
city solitary maiden of 60 summers,
who had no one to protect her against
the rude buffets of the world. If any
flower of affection for the other sex had
ever warmed and beautified her maiden
heart, il bloomed in secret and wasted
it's sweetness on the desert air" At
that time which "tried mems souls, .
she continued to live alone, unterrified
by the evils of civil war. One day,
while this city was occupied by Federal
troops, soldier went into her potato
patch and commenced helping himself
to the potatoes.
She soon discovered his presence,
and, rushing out, she screamed in a
high, shrill key:
"Get out of my potato patch, you
vagabond!''
Soldier-''I shan't do it; your sons
are in the army fighting against us now,
and I am going to have all the potatoes
[ want. +"
Maid" You're a Liar; you're liar. "
Soldier" Well, if your sons amt,
your husband is, and I'm going to have
these potatoes.
Maid" You're liar, sir; have got
no husband"
soldier" Well, if your husband
amt, your sweetheart is.
Maid" Well, declare (softening),
who told you had a sweetheart"
Soldier" Never mind"
Maid" Well, reckon you can have
a few potatoes, but don't take more'n
You want for your own use."

John RandOlph'S Experience in the
Black Hills.

From Mr.. John Randolph, of Jasper
county, who has just returned from the
Black Hills, says the Osceola (Mo.) Sen
tisse1, we learn of the terrible fate that
bafell his company of six miners who
had been seeking the precious metal
among the savages who slew Gen. Gus
ter's band of soldiers Mr.. Randolph
says that there is any amount of danger
in seeking the precious metal. It seems
from his report that his camp consisted
Of six rninexs, and that they had been
working some two months and half,
and had secured about $11, 500, when,
on the evening of the 21st of July, as
Mr.. Randolph was out prospecting, his
ears were greeted by savage yells from
the direction of the camp, mingled with
the death groans of his companions.
Mounting q hill that commanded view
of the camp, which was located in a
ravine, his eyes were greeted with the
sight of innumerable savages dancing
around the scalps of his former com
panions. si.3 assH aal
Thus finding that the situation was
somewhat dangerous, Mr.. Randolph
crawled into the hollow trunk of tree,
and there remained until morning, when
he went back to the place where the
camp had been. Upon arriving at this
place CHASTITY sight met his view. In
the still and hushed morning, twilight
lay the bodies of his companions, stark
naked, scalped and otherwise mutilated,
testifying to the cruelty of the Black
Hills savages. After burying the bodies
of his companions he made his way to
the railroad, having nothing left-every-
thing being destroyed by the savages.

MISCELLANEOUS GLEANINGs.

A Government commission, composed Of Of
6cers of the Engineer Corps of the United
States army, left Washington for Omaha the
other day, to enter upon the work Of re-survey-
ing the Union and Central Pacific railway lines
from Omaha to Sacramento This is in &C
cordance with a joint resolution recently
passed by Congress, and is for the purpose of
re-1neasuring the entire line of both roads, it
being asserted that the roads are not as long
as has been claimed. AS Government bonds
were issued in construction at the rate of from
$14, 900 to $4,000 per mile, the question OF
length becomes important.
The steamship Arbitrator, bound from New
Orleans to Liverpool, recently struck an ice
berg and sunk IN twenty minutes. Total loss
$3.50, 900. The crew took the boats and es-
capped.
A Madrid dispatch furnishes the following
additional particulars of the arrest of William
NJ. Tweed: ''Capt. Gen. Jovellar, at Havana,
received intelligence that Tweed had disem-
barked at Santiago de Cuba, and notified the
authorities there. Before the latter could take
action, Tweed embarked on the sailing vessel
Carmen, bound to Vgo. Capt. Gen. Jovellal
telegraphed to the Madrid Government, which,
fearing that the Carmen might go into some
other port requested the authorities at all
Spanish ports to examine persons on board of all
vessels named Carmen There are twelve
Spanish vessels of that name. portrait OF
Tweed being Indispensable, the Spanish au-
thorities obtained and made copies of carica-
ture in an American journal representing him
as beating child, supposed to typify American
justice. The caricature led the Spanish author
tiles and the reporters of the Spanish papers to
believe that Tweed had been kidnapping chill
dren. Hence, in the first official announce
ment received of the arrest of ''Twid, Antel-
NIL a supposed telegraphic corruption of
Tweed, American, it was stated that he had
been arrested for kidnapping American chill
dren."

We entered the church

eaten by dogs. We entered the church
yard, but the odor here became so bad
that it was almost impossible to pro-
coed. We take handful OF tobacco
and hold it to our noses while we con-
tinue our Investigations. The church
was not very large one, and 1t was sur
rounded by a low stone wall. The place
is heaped up with stones and rubbish to
the height of five or six feet above the
level of the street, and upon inspection
we discover that what appeared to be
mass of stones and rubbish is in reality
an immense heap of human bodies COW
cred over with thin layer of stones.
The whole of the little churchyard is
heaped up with them to the depth of
three or four feet, and it is from here
that the fearful odor comes. The dogs
had been at work, and now could be
seen projecting from this monster grave,
heads, arms, legs, feet, and hands in
horrid confusion. We were told there
were 5000 people lying here in this lit
tie churchyard alone, and we could well
believe it. It was fearful sight-a
sight to haunt one through life. There
were little curly heads there in that fes-
tering mass, crushed down by heavy
stones; little feet not as long as your
finger, on which the flesh was dried hard
by the ardent heat before it had time to
deeompose; little baby hands stretched
out as if for help; babes that had died
wondering at the bright CLEAN OF sabres
and the red hands of the fierce-eyed men
who welded them; children who had
died shrinking with fright and terror;
young girls who had died weeping and
sobbing and begging for mercy; moth
ers who died trying to shield their little
ones with their own weak bodies, all ~
ing there together, fostering In one nor
rid mass.
We asked about the skulls and bones
we had seen upon the hill upon first ar
irving in the village, where the dogs had
barked at us. These, we were told,
were the bones of about 200young girls,
who had first been captured and par
ticularly reserved for worse fate than
death. They had been kept till the last;
they had been in the hands of their cap
tors for several days-for the burning and
the pillaging had not all been accom-
plished in single day-and during this
time they had suffered all it was possible
that poor, weak, trembling girls could
suffer at the hands of brutal savages.
Then when the town had been pillaged
and burnt, when all their
friends had been slaughtered, these
poor young things, whose very wrongs
should have insured them safety, whose
very outrages should have insured them
protection, were taken in the broad
light of day, beneath the smiling canopy
of heaven, coolly beheaded, then thrown
in a heap there, and left to rot.

| Now, young men, will you use these
winter evenings In a way which shall
fit you to be better men for business
There are 200 week evenings between
now and the first of May, and you can
easily get two hours each evening,
or four hundred hours, for study, and
that is time enough to educate yourself
in the rudiments of any science, or in
the laws or language, or the art Of per-
manship, Or the science of book-keep-
ing or the art of drawing.
Young men, see to it that you begin
at once to improve these evenings.
Parents, look to it that your sons and
daughters as we'll, have some system
attic plan of study fall and winter. Do
not let them be upon the streets or
around at the neighbors, but start your
boys and girls upon some line
of study at once. Friends Of
reform, if you see young
man idle upon the streets, or in the
shops or halls, that you know, encour-
age him to it.
Young men, enter at once upon some
line of study which shall mark you as a
man above the common run Of labor
ers. Do not try to learn everything
this season, but search you out a teach
er who will direct your study, and give
you all the instruction you need; and be
sure that you put four hundred hours
hard work into penmanship, book
keeping, language, natural science or
drawing.
