A lady writing in Temple Bar gives the fol-
lowing account OF what happened to her in q
church in Portugal: "Wn6 could pray with 4
silky mustache passing In close vicinity over
one's shoulder, or pair Of black eyes glancing
obliQue notes of admiration from under their
long lashesa There are few or no seats in these
vast churches. The women, rich and poor,
squat on the marble floor, and, I should fancy,
accomplish their Purgatory there, other
wise they look like children playing
"Hunt the Slipper" Gentlemen stand in
groups or line the side-aisles en- massc.
Stranger ladies, unaccustomed to these peni-
tental genu1ections, have no alternative but
to keep On their feet, and he sat upon by very
substantial Portuguese ladies. Under either
set OF circumstances, devotion is out Of the ques-
tlon. In one OF my experiences / find myself
shoulder to shoulder with q man who has been
eating garlic and l endeavor to give him as
much cold shoulder as possible. In front, very
stout Portuguese lady has ensconced herself
comfortably, it appears, making cushion
of my feet; behind, very pretty little boy
is standing on my trairs and amusing himself
by pulling off the tasse1s from my basque
Children are not taught to behave we'll in
church In Portugal, but allowed to amuse them
selves as seems good to them. I make vain
effort to disengage myself, either from the
stout lady squeezing my feet in front or the lit
tie urchin destroying my dress behind. My
left-hand neighbor, with the silky mus
tache and handsome eyes, perceiving my
distress, with the quick politeness COM
mon to Portuguese, comes to my as
sistance, and, lifting the child of my
train, advances him to the front, at the same
time whispering something to him which sup
pose to be, Don't you stand On the lady's
dress,' but the young rogue, stretching bis
little arms, insists upon being kissed, and as
know this to be another prank Of these little
creatures, think it IS the safest plan, to avoid
any alteration in church, to comply, aud i'm
print a kiss on his little round cheek. Lol no
s, sooner done ne than ,,n+oh.a my ,,h handsome I'M
and the silky nustache Is covering the
exact spot Of my selection. Good heavens' I
exclaim, startled into an involuntary ejaclatory
prayer for an instant; but to my astonished, in
quiring look, l met only one Of triumphant
pleasure from the dark eyes. It IS most
highly improper proceeding in church; there
can be no doubt about that; vet, as Illustrative
noteworthy. Who could imagine that restless
little urchin in church was to be turned
into a u1istletoe medium-a kissing proxy
avery Cupid, where he ought to have been
Chcrub! All my prejudfces arc shocked, and
feel very uncomfortable, and l nm hopelcssly

presently By observing that three still stouter
ladies than the one in front Of me have with
them q little boy, considerably larger than my
Cupidon, and allow him to entertain himself by

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 23,-The three Younger
brothers wounded were to-day delivered to the
Sheriff OF Rice County, in which Northfield is
situated, and have been lodged in jail at Fari-
bault. Notwithstanding their exhaustion from
lack OF food aud exposure for II days most
1y of cold, rainy weather, loss of blood
by wounds, and excitement from constant
crowas of visitors who have been admitted to
see and talk with them at Madelia, the physi-
clans are confident all will recover. The worst
wounded is james, and his most serious hurt is
the breaking Of the palate arch, but he can now
speak distinctly.
The body Of the one killed at Made1ia
was to-day delivered at the State Capitol.
where it has been photographed and embalmed
for future Identification. All three Of the
Younger brothers acknowledge their own iden-
tity, but persist in refusing to name any others
of their party. Bob Younger thinks Haywood,
Of the Northficld bank, couldn't open the safe,
and appeared brave from being too much afraid
to explain himself. Both Bob and Cole say that
the man who shot Haywood did so because he
thought when Haywood staggered to his place
at the counter that he was reaching underneath
for pistol.

THE DE 11ALB MURDER.
De KALB, H., Sept. 23.-The excitement rel
ative to the murder Of Lund, tho iowcler, is
more intense this morning than On tho day sue
ceeding the deed, If possible. 1t grows out Of
the fact that colored man named Henry Oar
nell, middle-aged, was last night arrested as the
murderer. Darnclls wife yesterday accosted
another colorcd man named Robert Trimble,
and told him Of her husbands buying a
gold watch and considerable jewclry.
Darncll had also paid to person here
SIS or $40 in money, saying that he borrowed it
OF a clerk. The clerk was questioned, and de-
MED having lonned Darncll that amount or any
other sum OF money. These facts were CON-
municated to Detective Pinkerton, Sheriff Hol-
comb, and other officers, when they proceeded
to Darnells house, about o'clock in the morn
ing, and arrested him. He denied everything,
but his wife confronted him with having the
icwelry. when he went out to a pig-pen and
brought forth gold watch and several pieces of
jcwclry, which were promptly identified
Darnell was placed in the calaboose, and this
morning conveyed to the Jail at Sycamore. Two
or three hundred persons were present, but good
order prevailed.
she thinks, about II o'clock OH the night of the
murder; that the next morning he brought
in nicc gold watch, called ler
sDearie,'' and presented her with
the watch, saying that he had bought
it. When the colored woman heard of Lund's
death, she refused to wear the watch, and told
him to take it with tie jewelry and throw it
away; that If he was caught with it he would be
killed. The woman also tells that Henry said
he was in the jewe1ry store on the evening Of
tile murder with two men, and that one OF them
wanted to purchase revolver. The man Dar-
oil had chores. JGES. about the
jewelrs store since Lund's purchase of 1t, and
there seems to be no doubt that the right trail
has been promptly struck.
Pinkerton and the local officers are endeavor-
ing to find Darnell's helpers, and hunt up the
stolen trunk, which seems to have been dragged
off by two men, the fences showing clearly
where they got over with It,. Nothing else but
the murderer's arrest is talked Of and every
body rejoices that at least one Of the rascals is
in limbo.

STARVING INDIANS.
Special Message by the President.

WAsHIN aToN, Feb. 29.-The President sent
the following special message to Congress to-
day:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Feb %, 1876.
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
lay. before you herewith a communication
from the Secretary of the Interior of the date
of the 18th inst, upon the subject of the def
cheney of supplies at the Red Cloud agency,
Nebraska. This matter has been already pre-
sented to you by the Secretary, and the House
of Representatives has requested an investiga-
ton by a military officer of the cause of the
deficiency. 1 have taken proper steps to com
ply with the report of the House, but the pres
ent need of supplies is not disputed. A pro-
longed delay in furnishing provisions to these
Indians will cause great distress and will be
and possibly lead to general outbreak of hos.
tilities. therefore deem it proper to invite
your attention to the importance of early and
favorable action upon the estimate heretofore
and herewith submitted. These estimates and
the views of the Secretary in regard to this
l recommend that the appropriations asked for
be made at the earliest day practicable.
(Signed,) U. S. GRANT.
Secretary Chandler in the communication re-
ferred to states the reasons for the existing de-
ficiency, which in substance are, first, the d.
minished appropriations made by Congress last
year; and second, unusual issues to the Indians
visiting the agency to meet the Black Hills
commission in September last The Secretary
says that the case has additional urgency from
the fact that over 1000 members of Sitting
Bull band, heretofore defiant aud actively hos
tile, have come into the Red Cloud agency in
compliance with the messages previously sent
tosthem, and it is important that any measures
looking to the disintegratiou of this heretofore
united band and the obstruction of Sitting Bull
authority should have proper encouragement.
Secretary Chandler endorses recommended
ton of Commissioner Smith that an appropria.
ton Of $4,000 be granted in addition to the
amount of 1925, 1000 already asked last month.
