AudaciOus Chicago Robbers.

Very few robberies that have been
committed in Chicago, or elsewhere,
compare for audaeity with one, and quite
an extensive one, committed in The West
Division yesterday afternoon. Shortly
before 2 o'clock boy called at BIZ West
Lake street with note for Mr.. Alexan-
der Weide, who resides there. The note
was signed Henry Miller, and the writer
requested Mr.. Weide to meet him at the
West Side Tvoi, at 2 o'clock, on bust
ness of importance. Not suspecting any
thing wrong, Mr.. Weide at once started
for the designated place, and as he was
going down Madison street he was met
by a large man who told him Miller
could not wait at the Tivoli, and wished
to meet him at a certain place on the
South Side at 3 O'Clock. Mr.. Weide
proceeded on down town to the place
mentioned, and waited until some time
after 3 o'clock, but failed to see Henry
Miller, or any one else who wished to
see him. In the meantime scene was
transporting at his home, of which he
never dreamed. a.
Between 3 and o'clock, two men
raped at the door Of Mr.. Weide's resi-
dence, and Mrs. Weide answered the
summons. When she opened the door
one of the men seized her by the throat,
and the other held a bottle of chloro-
form to her nostrils until she was I'M
conscious. They then placed her on q
sofa in the parlor, and proceeded leisure
ly and systematically to ransack the
house. Trunks, drawers, and every
other receptacle for values were broken
open, bureaus turned upside down, beds
tumbled upon the floor, and every cor
ner of the premises carefully searched,
and the thieves finally departed with
$3.50 in currency and $50 in silver coins,
an open-faced gold watch of Swiss make,
valued at 800, an English lever worth
$40, heavy gold chain, twisted links,
with gold slipper attached, worth $75,
and two pairs of gold spectacles, then

For the last two centuries attention
has been directed toward those natural
elements of power which might be de-
rived from the rise and fall of the tide.
Theoretically, this would afford source
of lower which would be limitless, but
practically it has never gone further than
the engrossing of such tidal motors on
paper. OF late this subject of utilizing
the natural movement of water has been
renewed, with the idea of making the
rolls and oscillations of the ship caused
by the ocean swell as the means of pro-
polling the vessel. On the occasion of
the passage of vessel from England to
Australia, voyage extending over some
1000 hours, q ship made /, 764, O88 beam
oscillations or rolls, and 1,O41, 1877 fore
and-aft oscillations or pitches. A Mr..
Tower, of England, describes q ma
chine, with the object OF storing this
immense and constant power, which is
to impart propulsion to the YES
sci. BY the natural fall and rise of the
vessel air is compressed into cylinders,
which, as reservoirs of power, are to be
called upon for mechanical use. The
inventor supposes that the long swell in
the tropics would give at every impulse
power equal to thirty-horse power,
and that the average Atlantic wave was
as much as 200-horse power, while q
heavy head sea would represent 600.

A Cat I'm a Newspaper Press.

Anovel accident occurred in the press
room of the Mercury last night. The
second page was laid on the cylinder
a few minutes before II clock, and the
crank turned that put the press in mo-
ton. The cylinder made few revolu-
tons and suddenly stopped, and the
pressmen were Mortified ON seeing the
papers and machinery covered with
blood. The first impression was that
some person had been crushed in the
press. An investigation showed that a
cat had crept under the cylinder, and,
seeking to escape after It started, was
instantly bebeaded. The compositors
were over an hour in repairing Che mis-
chief done to the type.-N,o York

THE MORMON WOMEN.

Their opinion of Polygamy--" Good for
shc Men. bus Hard ON the Women
cI [salt lake Letter TO Courier-Jo Journal w.
FL A Mormon sister said TO me- several
days after reached the city -" 1t is q
good religion for the men, but hard on
the poor women; for woman, to be q
Mormon, must have q big family of
children, and as soon as she ceases to
increase the Mormon population, she is
put aside, and O new wife takes her
place, and the families are all in dis
cord, and the old wife's heart aches just
as hard as though she wasn't Mormon,
when she knows she is getting old and
ugly, and has no one to make a fuss
over her; and the Mormon women's toars
fall Just. as hot MS the scalding drops
from other women's eyes, when they are
deserted and feel that it were better they
were dead" This poor old lady said !:
eve Mormon women talk it over among
ourselves, but we are too proud to let
outsiders know our unhappiness as q
general thing; but tell you the I'M
happiness is there for all that. had
one daughter married to Mormon, and
she says: ooh, James doesn't believe in
polygamy, and am not afraid OF his
loving any one but me. He says he
never will, aud I know ne means it.
Well, she hadn't been married three
years before she came crying to me and
says: ooh, mother, / wish was dead;
James is going to marry Lizzie Jones

'he says he thinks as much of me as ever,
but L know he doesn't, and now all our
happy life will be changed She

hands, but she went without tear three
weeks from that time and gave her hus-
band his new wife, as we are required to
do, and came home and took poison.

no nice, pretty women were at church.
"People don't go to church much now,
none but the lower class. They don't
hear anything that interests them, and,
to tell the truth, the young people are
nearly all ashamed that they are Nor
mons, and go to other churches or stay
at home. There are some pretty intel
igent young ladies' here. Some have
been educated abroad, and put on great
style, and just as soon as they get knowl-
edge they feel it is debasing to live as
we have to live, and the Mormon Church
Is just lettering now on that account,
and the foreigners that land here every
week as converts are the only ones who
believe in the doctrines religiously."

The Minnesota Bandits.

Now that the Mortified cut threats
are "gentle as sucking doves" and
playing the mild, resigned, and re-
igious string to excite admiration and
sympathy, and draw the "prayers OF
all good people, and their tears for that
"dead mother and living sister," the
true inwardness of the fends in human
shape is best illustrated by their career
before justice overlook them, and by
the acts of their confederates, who are
apparently in our very midst, and are
attempting to brighten Mortified by @
cowardly resort to anonymous letters,
threatening Wheeler and Manning with
death, and the town with destruction
Two communications of this character
have been received, one by the Post
master at Mortified, written on card
and postmarked at st. Paul. 1t reads
as follows:
"You will have a big fire soon
Three men have got to fall for every
man of our company that was killed a
your place We have not done will
you yeti"
The second one is a letter to Henry
Wheeler, no date or place, but post
marked Minneapolis on the 18th day o
September:

you are the man who killed our com
rade. You are doomed man from
this hour. A dagger or bullet will fine

1t will be remembered that one o
the robbers killed at Northfield ha
been clearly identified rs Clel Miller
while the identity of the other has no
been 80 clearly fixed. Our Mortified,

which seems to establish his identit,

Eugenie.


The health of the Empress Eugene is
the subject of anxiety among the I'm
rerialist party. Her medical attendants
have not to combat any actual disease,
but have rather to contend against loss
of vitality and consequent great mental
depression. During tie years Of hope
deferred that followed the de.th of the
Third Napoleon, the Empress bore up
bravely in the expectation that the for
tunes Of the party might be redressed.
The last general election proved a
grievous disappointment. Tue, it
improved the strength of the Bonapart-
lists, but it improved the position Of the
Republicans still more, and altogether
was deemed sorry return for years of
hard work and heavy outlay. From
that time the health of the Empress
gave way, and medical attendance is
now almost constantly required.

Just as you love me? Say, mamma, sayf

In the orchard, up in the old pear tree,
There were four little birds in nest;
Willie says they belong to the robin
That wears a red bib on her breast;
In all the great, wide world OF brides
Does she love her own the best?"
Yes, birdie, yes,
So guess"
The last time played in the garden.
There was just one red rose to be seen;
But to-day there's tiny pink rosebud,
Wrapped up in blanket OF green;
Does the rose want to kiss baby rosebud,
When she tries so far over to lean:
Eyes, baby. yes,

Last night peeped out at the window,
Just before repeated my prayer,
And the moon, with star close BESIDE ner,
was walking high up in the air.

Cause the moon WAS 40 lonely up there?
