hospitality on various occasions | have met
him in the walks of professional life [
have known him aud honored him as a man
of strong incisive intellect, bringing to the
discharge of his professional duties clear
analytical, incisive mind, and backed withal
by an eloquence that not only thrilled the

ment, While he was pursuing his honor
able calling he was called to higher place

ure to say that, although | was politically

He Knew Him.

A Hartford correspondent tells this
story: In the absence of the president of
one of the city banks, the cashier, great
wag, was looking over the mail, when he
found letter from an Albany bank, in
quiring as to the value of note indorsed
presented there for discount by certain
Hartford man of unsavory business reputa-
ton. Selling a pen, the cashier quickly
replied as follows: "If the note is genuine
it isn't worth penny; but if forgery,
his brethren will probably make it good; y
When the president of the bank came in
the cashier informed him that he had an
swered the Albany letter, but would show
him his respose, if he desired. The presi-
dent asserting, the cashiers letter was
produced, upon the perusal of which the
president smiled grimly and said: "The
letter may go, for your facts are correct,
though | should not have expressed them
in just that way"

DEATH TO THE MOLLIES.
MURDER Will 0ut-The Assassins of F.
A. Yost in Jail-Where Will the
Lighting Strike Next?

Special Dispatch to the Times.
MAUCH CHUNK, February AFTER
comparative quiet for a few days this whole
region was thrown into an intense state Of
excitement this morning by the arrival of
two men under charge of policemen, charged
with being accessories to the murder of
John P. Jones at Lansford. On last Tues
day Doyle was convicted Of murder in the
first degree for this crime. The two men
arrested with him for the crime are in jail
awaiting trial. The prompt conviction of
Doyle scared the others so that one Of them
has confessed the crime, and put into the
hands Of General Albright information
which led to the arrest last night There
were six men taken, viz: Alexander
Campbell, of Ashton, who was brought
here and lodged in Jail James Roarty,
Coaldale; Hugh Mcclellan, Smmit Hill {;
James Carroll, Tamaqua James Boyle,
Smmit Hill and Thomas Duffy, of near
Tamaqua The last FIVE were arrested for
the murder of f. b. Yost, Tamaqua police
man, who was assassinated as he was put
ting out gas-light in that town, in last
July The murder was an atrocious one,
but though large rewards were offered no
arrests have been hitherto made Counsel
for to Commonwealth has further informa-
ton, which is withheld for prudential rea-
sons. Campbell was brought before Esquire
Yaeger at 10 o'clock. When questioned
he said he had no idea what the charge
against him was The courtroom was
cleared and the charge was read to Camp
bell, after which he was committed and
safely lodged in Jail. There has been
great excitement all day. 1t looks as il
the bottom of Mollie Maguireism had fallen
out. 1t is highly probable that other ar
rests will follow.

ABRAVEBUCKEYE A WOMAN.
A Tramp Attempts to Outrage Her, and
She Shoots Him-He Returns to the
Charge and Receives Mortal Wound.

From the Monroevile, O., Spectator, Jan. 9th.
Week before last tramp, the same who
was locked up in our jail on Monday night
of last week, on charge of drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, called at the house
of Frank Wheeler, who lives some two or
three miles east of this place, near the rail
road, and asked for cup of hot coffee and
a good meal. Mrs. Wheeler prepared good
meal for him, which he ate, and then dis
covering that the lady was alone, he in
suited her and attempted to outrage her,
but was prevented by her getting hold Of
the shot gun and ordering him off, He at
first refused to go and told her she dared
not shoot; but when he started toward her
the second time, she shot at him, the load
taking effect in his thigh He then ran
out to the railroad and in a few moments
another tramp came to the house and asked
for some rags to tie up the injured mans
wounds. She supplied the necessary baud
ages and heard nothing more of the tramps
for some time after. On last Friday she
was again left alone, and while near the
SHlohc HOuSc dlJcuulllS 10 SOHle WORK, Snc
saw the two tramps coming toward her
again and ran toward the house One of
the tellows-the same she had previously
woundcd-called to her to stop or he would
shoot her, and at the same time fired a re-
volver at her. She, however, escaped to
the house and locked the door before they
could gain an entrance. The fellows went
to the window, raised it and were about to
enter the house when Mrs Wheeler again
got the gun and told them to keep out or
she would shoot. 'Shoot and be ID" ="
was the answer given, and one of them-the
same she had previously y wounded-being
half way in at the window, she did shoot,
the load taking effect in his arm and should
er. The other tramp picked him up and
carried him to the woods near by, where
he left him while he went to Norwak for
physician. The wounded man Was taken
to Norwalk, when it was found necessary
to amputate his arm His wound proved
SO serious, however, that it was found i'm
possible to save his life and on Saturday he
breathed his last.

Not in the Family.

An old Detroiter brought home two
jugs the other day one labeled 'boilcd OIL
aud the other "turpentine." They were
placed in the barn, and pretty soon it was
noticed that the old man had business there
at regular intervals His Oldest son slyly
followed him and saw him taking deep
draught from one of the jugs. The old man
heard a step outside, and before going out
he arranged those jugs according to his
artistic taste. He was hardly gone when
the son skipped in and took drink from
the jug out of which he supposed his father
drank. The next moment he was sputter-
ing, coughing and gasping, and the old man
entered and asked
"Turpentine dosen't agree with you,
does it p
But I saw you drink it, exclaimed
the injured and indignant son.
"That is true" said the old man, while
a beautiful smile played over his face, ''but
it dosen t necessarily follow that the rest
of the family must relish turpentine be-
cause do p

What | Have Seen.

An old man of experience says | have
seen young man who despised the coun-
sci of the wise and the advice of the good,
and his career end in poverty and wretched-
ness.
have seen a prudent and Industrious
wife retrieve the fortunes of family when
the husband pulled at the other end of the
rope.
have seen the extravaganza and folly
children bring their parents to poverty and
want, and themselves to disgrace.
| have seen man depart from truth
where candor and veracity would have
served him to a much better purpose
have seen man spend more money in
folly than would support his family in com
fort and independence,
[ have seen young girl marry young
man of dissolute habits, and repent of it as
she lived.
| have seen a farmer travel about so
much that there was nothing at home worth
looking at.
| have seem a young man sell good
farm, turn merchant, and die in an insane
asylum.

There has been a great deal of writing
and talking about Egypt in late years. 1t
is a country which has advanced as much
in seventy years as many other countries
have done in five hundred. 1t is not a
very extensive country. Herodotus, com
monty rated as the "father of history"
wrote that Egypt was the gift Of tie ri0cr
"a strip of aluvial soil 600 miles in length,
and in breadth not more than ten until the
river Nile divides itself and the Delta
thrusts back the desert. Without perpetual
supervision and labor Egypt would be ruin
ed. The khedlve, a very practical and
energetic ruler, knowing this, has brought
$50, 900 acres into cultivation, and by i'm
proved irrigation has increased the natural
productiveness of tho soil The value of
the land reclaimed from the desert by these
artificial means is enormous. A single ca
nal (there are nearly thousand i'll Egypt
has recently brought 80, 900 acres into cul-
tivation, and thus added at least 50, ,500,-
900 to the value of the yearly exports of
the country. In Egypt there remains 5OO,-
900 acres of unreclaimed land capable Of
recamation-this in the narrow strip known
as Egypt proper, and does not include the
country beyond the First Cataract, where
irrigation is unknown
For its extent, Egypt is densely popula
ted. 1t has about 5,250,0O0 inhabitants,
which is proportionately more than Belgium,
the most crowded country in Europe, where
there are 173 inhabitants to the square
kilometre, while Egypt has 178. All the
government works are made by forced la
Dor. whole villages being removed to dis
tricts not their own to dig canals and do
other varieties of hard work for the general
good, but not for their own. Emigration
is almost unknown in Egypt, but the new
acquisitions off territory in equatorial Africa
will probably draw of a portion of the po-
pulation. Wages are ve,y Iowa laborer

notice that England absorbs four-fi of
the exports, and supplies two-fths of the
imports of Epypt.

Potato Beetles in Winter Quarters.

On passing through potatoe stubble re-
Gently, We saw large flock of crows very
busy on the loose ground. The owner of
the field had before stated that the Color
ado beetles had descended upon his crops
in immense numbers, but being too late to
do any damage, he had not disturbed them
On examination We found a good many of
the beetles lying dormant in the loose soil,
and numberless places where the crows had
dug up the ground. Evidently the crows
were feasting upon the beetles, and it would
doubtless be an excellent thing to give the
crows ample opportunity to feast all they
want to. As a help We would suggest Il
light blowing of potato ground this season,
to expose the beetles.-American Agricul-
turist.

This story of horse, told by the Monon-
gahela City Republican, is worth preserv-
ing: About two years ago, James Samp-
son, Esq, President of the Peoples Bank,
sold a four-year old horse to a gentleman
living beyond Youngstown, Ohio, and by
him it was again sold to another gentleman,
having in the transfer travelled over two
hundred miles by rail, and changed owners
twice. On New Years day strange horse
was recognized by the people about the
Sampson farm, and efforts made to drive it
away. The horse acted exceptionally,
neighing and winnying when any of the
family came about, and it was finally found
to be the horse sold into Ohio two years
before. This animal had travelled two hun
dred and sixteen miles after an absence of
two years, in search of his old home, and
which he found, too, with that unerring
quality of mind which people cali instinct.
Does any one doubt that the horse had,
during his absence, remembered the home
of his coltdhood, the old hills of Carol, the
girl who had petted him, and the boys who
had fed him And was it not the recolec~
tion of old home coming over him when
the holly and evergreen were wreathed and
the children's stockings hung up, that he
resolved to come back to PENNSYLVANIA for
the sequel to the story proves that he left
