On the very night Of the robbery. Jerry
had spent tho evening at their house and
had made himself unusually agreeable.
When, however, he was shown to the
paying tcllers of the banks, dressed as a
drover, they all declared him to be the
man. IF II l. I &:
The trial came on in its regular course
and after good deal of close argument
on both sides the two brothers were con-
demned, Edward to fifteen years. impris-
onment, and Jerry to ten.
Outside opinion, however, ran strongly
in their favor, and many were disposed to
petition for their pardon, when, suddenly,
it was announced that Edward Larned,
who knew nothing Of this outside feeling
had confessed the robbery.
When asked what motive could possibly
have induced him to do such deed, he
answered, with a triumphant smile:
"Who could have done it so well?"
Thus, from feeling of diseased vanity
he had deliberately sacrificed friends, for
tune and position, smlrching his good
name and earning nothing but fellon's
doom.
When asked how he had contrived to
keep the seals unbroken, he answered,
with q contemptuous laugh:
"Why, I got piece Of watch spring,
Strengthened it out, and took it with me
to the bank. There I heated it in the
flame of a candle, and sliding the hot,
thin steel carefully along under each seal,
cut off the top Of it very neatly, and
laid it aside until I had done what
wanted, and then, by reheating the wax,
easily replaced the scalp
A man named Bottonly, who owned a
WOODEN mill not far of, having heard of
this confession, thought that he also could
get some information from Jerry Larncd
that he had long desired to have. For
some time this man had noticed that, in
spite Of his buying a superior wool, his
goods had all the appearance of having
been made from inferior materials.
He concluded to examine his wool
sacks at short intervals. and see if any
change took place.
He found to his establishment that the
very bags he had seen with his own ewes
full of the best wool showed, on a second
visit, wool that was decidedly inferior,
yet the exterior Of the bags seemed all
right.
He concluded to set watch when he
bought his next lot, 50 as to find out who
had changed it.
The man he hired for this purpose saw
wagon, with two men in it, coming to-
ward the mill about midnight, and ran
across to the house for help.
Unfortunately the men in the wagon
saw him, and, turning around, drove flu
riously away.
Suspecting now that Jerry Larned
might have been this skillful operator he
went to the prison to inquire of him
about it.
Jerry confessed with laugh, and
seemed as foolishly vain Of this exploit
as his brother had been of the bank rob-
berry.
Thus these two men, though wealthy
and respected, either could not, or did
not resist temptation, and went down
from their high and enjoyable position in
society to all the disgraces and discom.

. A MurderOus Maniac.

In Spalato, village of Dalmatia, a
wealthy ''proprietairc," named Giovanni
Tonic, occupied house on the Borgo
Grande, opposite the parish church Of
Santa Croce. On the Goth of March, in a
furious fit Of rage, he fell upon his wife,
with knife, inflicting such frightful
wounds that the poor woman succumbed.
her father, who interfered on her behalf,
likewise fell victim to the mailman s
murderOus blade. When the police ar
rived at the scene Of the tragedy to arrest
the murderer, they found all the issues of
the house barricaded. Tonic had in
trenched himself against all corners, and,
armed with gun and abundant ammuni-
ton, fired on every one who attempted to
approach the house. The police retired
before this fusillade to consult. A Young
man, crossing the square at the time, then
attracted the madman's attention, and he
fired at him, bringing him down. The
next victim was woman who was COM
ing from the church.
She received severe wound, but man.
aged to get off: The gendarmes surround
ed the house on three sides, effectuallv
cutting off all means Of escape for the
man inside. The front of the house,
which commanded the plaza in front of
the church and the streets opening on it,
was closely watched. For fear of the man
inside, no one dared attempt to rescue the
corpse Of the young man who had been
shot, and which lay purifying in the sun.
Finally the cure of Santa Croce, who had
considerable influence with the murderer,
proposed to parley with him. As the
brave priest advanced toward the house,
Tonic ceased popping away at every head
that showed itself, and greeted him re-
specially. The priest asked him to send
out his little daughter, child of two
years, whom he had barricaded in the
house along with himself. For answer
the inhuman father tossed the limbs of
the child into the street one by one.
The poor little one had actually been
cut to pieces. Tonic then resumed his
cannoade, and for twenty. four hours
more kept the entire armed force of
Spalato at bay. The authorities refused
permission for the gend' arn,es to fire on
him, alleging that he was crazy, and not
responsible for his acts. Ali that was
left for them was to blockade the house
and starve him out. During the block
ade one comic incident occurred. In the
night, in the midst of the deathlike
silence which prevailed in the neighbor-
hood of the singular battlefield, voice
could be occasionally heard from the
church piteously begging for bread. The
speaker was the sacristan who had gone
into the church on the day of the tragedy
to ring the "Angelus," and had been
there when the shooting began. As the
only exit from the sacred edifice was
under fire from Tomic's barricade the
poor sexton dared not venture forth.

Corn and Rork.

There have been various careful tests
as to how much pork q bushel of corn
will make. 1t seems to be conceded that
with the best breed ofhogs and the great
est care in feeding, there may be certainly
three and half pounds to the bushel.
With this data it is easy for farmer to
know what he is doing, as we'll as what is
best to do. He will see at. once, if corn
is twenty-five cents per bushel and hogs
tive cents, he should sell hogs and not
corn. But ifcorn is fifty cents and hogs
five cents, it is more profitable to sell
corn. Corn at forty cents and pork
at five cents, they are equal. And in this
way a farmer can easily decide what to
do. Or in other words, find out what he
can obtain for his corn, then divide the
price Of corn by eight and a half, and he
can At once sec which is the most profit

The Oriental Business.

A good citizen of Crogham street was
reading the other day of a good Persian
gentleman who always walked about
with smile on his face. When this
Persian was asked why he always looked
so happy when other men looked sad he
replied:
II smile because it. may bc sunshine
to some poor soul surrounded by
shadows"
1t was very nice in the Persian, and the
Croghan street man said he'd be hanged
if he couldn't outsmile the Persian or any
body else walking around on two legs.
He at once began to smile ut his wife.
She stood it for few minutes, and then
observed:
whats the matter, William got the
collie again?'
II smile because want to carry sun
shine to your darkened SOUL" he
replied.
She wanted him to understand that fif-
teen minutes at the wood pile would
help her more than all the grins he could
grin in straight week, and when he
went into the kitchen to smile some sun
shine at the hired girl the wife followed
him and raised Il row that put dinner
threc-quartcrs of an hour behindhand.
However, one can't get the hang of Orien-
tai business in day, and this man tried
it again on the street Car as he came down
town yesterday. Opposite him sat an
old woman with a basket, and he under
took to smile the shadows from her heart
She watched him for two or three min
utes, growing mad all the time, and pres
emily she asked:
"Do you think you know me, that you
arc grinning across the aisle, like circus
baboon?"
II smile, madam, becausc-because -
he stammered, forgetting what the
Persian said. II smile because
"You are grinning because " got
| sore eyes!" she shouted.
mo, madam, I smile that THAT
-
"lll not stand it," she cried, and she
hammered him with the basket until he
escaped off the platform.
| "Now grin over that, will you..' she
called after him as she shook the basket
in the air.

oft Of that. Anything that anybody
says against FurlOng is greedily

nothing that Col. Furlong did, fol
which he deserves and has received the

II is generally believed that Colonel
Martin Keary has got considerable
record scattered around loose, and
1t iS thought that if really earnest
record searcher would go in, he could
discover several rugged paths to travel
over. But the "Artillerist" isn't shoot
ing his gun in that direction. In fact,
1t is generally believed that this Indie.
pendent Radical candidate for Treas.
urer is furnishing some powder 10 the
Artillerist, and that he spends his time
laying down on the roof Of the ferry
boat watching the efTec! OF the shots at
the other fellow. This is supposed to
be consistency, but 1t isn't.
Again: The Artilerist wants to
go 10 the Senate bimself, and
as Gen. Furlong is in the way,
why he has to give him a few charg.
es of grape to get him out of the way
AS the Memphis Avalanche very neatly
puts it, "the Leader Is a good Demo-
crat, but ETC., etc., ETC." On the
whole we are glad the Rugged Path
Traveller is on his journey, for we
intend to point out to him several little
paths he can explore before he Is
through with it. We want him TO al
dress his remarks, and his grape shot
impartially. lfhe will do it, his can
non will get warm before he Is through

ct good service. 1t is gaining over
some Of the Independents every day.
There were thirty-three OF them yester.
