ih MEMoRiAM. es written on the death Of Mrs. Ella N BsBt, wife Of Edwin Nj. Rstts.l 6rieye not for thy loved ono, Oh, yield not to faaFI Though death has bereft thee uf one that was dear, In mansions of glory, Prepared for the blsst, -. Her spirit finds shelter And haven of rest Like frail Summer flower She bloomed for day, Aud reJoiced at the thought She was passing away While the music of Heaven Fell sweet on her car, She smIlingly said, My Redeemer IS near" In iife's sunny morning She bid earth adieu, And swift to her Savior Her freed spirit flew; When death was approaching She was not afr i'd Nor in the cold grave Did she fear to be laid. Methinks at this moment hear the glad voice Saying, "Husband, dear husband, Weep not, but rejoice loved thee on earth, And still thou art dear: oh, come dearest husband, And dwell with me herel ."This beautiful world ofglory and light Igaze on with rapture And holy delight. The glories Of earth How dim they appear Compared to the pleasures And joys that are here "I know thou art lonely, But grieve not for me; May the thought that pn happy Bring comfort to thee. Hrre, with the redeemed, range the bright plains, And join with the angels In rapturous stIains, Through life's onward pathway l ever will be Aglardian spirit To watch over thee. When life's journey is ended Tor thee will come, With Heavenly convoy ,T0 welcome thee home."

BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.

A London paper Of recent date says:
Sew Of the persons who handle Bank
OF England notes ever think OF the
amount Of labor ana ingenuity that is
expended on their production. These
notes are made f. ON pure white linen
cuttings only, never from rags that have
been worn. They have been manulac-
lured for nearly 200 years at the same
spot-Laverstoke, in Hampshire, and
by the same famlly-the Portals, who
are descended from some French
Protestant refugees. So carefully is
the paper prepared that even the num-
Der OF dips into the pulp made by each
workman is registered on dial by
machinery, and the sheets are carefully
counted and booked to each person
through whose hands they pass. The
printing is done by most curious proc.
ess in Mr.. Goes department within the
bank buildi g. There is an elaborate
arrangement tor securing that no note
shall be exactly like any other in exist
ence. Consequently, there never was
duplicate OF Bank Of England note
except by forgery. 1t has been stated
that the stock Of paid notes Tor seven
years is about 81, 900 700 In number, ant
they fill $1,000 boxes which, il placed
side by side, would reach three miles
The notes placed in a pile would bt
eight miles high, or if joined end to end
would form ribbon $4,000 miles long

that Of Hyde Park; their original value

yet without evidence they were com
PEELED to receive the story OF Roberts
that the boy had run away. A gentle
man, MIR. W. II. Ingles, made PROPOSE
lion to investigate, but his neighbors,
intimidated by iears for their own safe
ty, refused to act with him, and he re-
mained quiet, feeling that time would
draw the veil.
Nine months had passed away, and
still The boy had not come to light, and
during these nine months the neighbor-
hood was constantly losing by theft eat
tie, hogs, sheep, chickens, vegetables,
etc. Among the sufferers from these
depredaliOns was Mr.. Woodworth, who
lives az Boone Landing, about three
quarters OF a mile from Roberts place.
A few days since Mr.. Woodworth was
visited by the colOred boy who mad all
this time been living with Roberts, and
he promised to divuge secrets of inter-
est to him and others il they would in
sure hlm protection. Receiving assur-
ance that be should receive no harm, he
proceeded to charge Roberts with nu-
merous theits, among Others the steal
ing OF several hogs and heifer from
Mr.. Woodworth. He also charged Rob
erts with the murder OF the white boy,
for fear the latter would tell that he had
stolen Mr.. " oOdworths heiier.
In yerification Of his statements he
indicated spot in or near X Rjberts>
premises where sycamore stick would
be found driven i'll the ground, and
around it leaves and brush heaped
Upon visiting the spot and removing
The leaves and brush, the skeleton OF The
white boy was found. The boy also
pointed out the spot where the stolen
heifer had been butchered.
The boy states that Roberts was in
humanly cruel to The white boy, beating
him almost 10 death on several occa.
sions; and all mis- attempts 10 escape
were i'll vain, each time he would DE
caught and returned TO more brutal
treatment than before. The cOlored LAD
| also suffered the same trea mtnt at his
hands, and was driven by "a cruel beat

R)berls was Immediately arrested and
taken to Yanceburg Jail, wnere he is
guarded by forty armed men to prevent
the consummation of a threatened
lynching. Notwithstanding these pre-
cautions it is known that arrangements
are being perfected for lorcibly taking
and hanging the prisoner. Roberts wife
has also been arrested on sus spicion OF
completely. 1t is rumored that Roberts
murdered a former wife and two daugh-
Lers.

AKENTUCKY HORROR.
The skeleton of a Boy Found,

The evidence OF most horrible mur-
der has just been unearthed In Lewis
County, Kentucky, on Montgomery
Creek, small stream which empties
into the OHIO River. A man by the name
OF Roberts TOOK up his residence on this
stream last September at point about
ten miles above Vanceburg and about "A
mile and a half back from the river.
This stranger never impressed the
community ;avorably, and was regarded
as a dishonest, If not desperate, charac'
ter. Soon alter ne located here, two
lads applied TO him for employment and
a home, the older OF whom, a boy abou,
thirteen, he retained. While this white
lad was living with Roberts, he crossed
over the river and captured and brought
from corntield on the Ohio side little
colored orphan boy about ten years Of
aye, Soon after this event, the white
lad disappeared. Most ol Roberts i'm
mediate neighbors suspected foul play

THE WHITE WHALE,
He Died at 8 O'Clock This MOr1
inHs

He's dead. The third and last white
whale, that arrived about O'Clock last
Sunday morning at the Lookout House,
died this morning at exactly 8 O'clock.
about an hour before the time of his
dissolution Mr.. j. l.. Harper approached d
| the immense receptacle in which the
whale had sported for five days, and
noticed that his majesty was disturbed.
and frisking uneasiiy in the water.
Mr.. Harper became at once cogn.zant
| of the fact that the hour OF the whales
death was at hand. lie notified Mr.. A /.
A, Stewart, and then got into the tant I.
| The whale began to lash the water
fercely, but finally Mr.. Harper was
able to approach him.
He found that thick impenetrable
coating OF slime had settled upon the
skin OF the whale. He rubbed as much
on as possible, and found that the whale
enioved this treatment immensely.
For the space OF over half an hour Le
began to rush around the tank in his
usual good spirits, but all OF sudden
| he made a plunge to the bottom, and
when he again came TO the surface he
remained motionless. He was a uea d
whale.
Tie running water was immediately
stopped, and part OF the contents OF the
tank let out.
1t seems that the whales death is due
to the muddy Ohio water-the thick
coating Of yellow mud, which ensconced
his whalesnip's body, being the immedi
ate cause Of his demise.
| Starvation had not SO much to do with
| il this time. Last Tuesday night the
managers put two thousand fresh fish il
the Tank, and when the whales heaC
was shown above water, one coulC
plainly see how he had rubbed off the
| Skin about his mouth In his chase for his
supper.
| Preparations were immediately made
by the owner Of the fish to have thu
body exhibited upon a large platform
over the tank. The body VIII be placed
over ice and remain on exhibition to
day.
1t is not yet known wnat will be thu
final disposition OF the whale; but one
thing is certain, that This is the las
whale that Will be put ON exhibition
here by Mr.. stewart.
lie remarked to our jayhawker this
morning that he has had enough o
whales, and thought Cincinnatians fel
similarly about 1t.
MIR. Stewart received telegram thi
morning stating that two white whale
arrived last night az The New Yor
Aquarium from z lebec. They will not
however, be eXnlLited in this city.
