A Story Of Dungeon Life,

There was living in Paris, 1871, Pc
lish lady, the Countess of X. She wore q
very singular brooch. Its ground of blue
enamel was circled by twenty precious
stones, and was covered in the centre by
glass, and what do you suppose this
brooch contained? Not portrait, nor a
lock Of hair, but four common pins, ben,
together in the form of ssar. She wore
these because they were the companions
of her husband during long lmprison.

under the ground. He had no one to
speak to, for no one was allowed to zee
him except the keeper of the prison, and
he was Lot permitted to talk with his
prisoner, He had nothing to do. Days
weeks, months passed on, and he still in
his dungeon. He was never brought to
trial and, poor man, he was most misera-

wept for joy; yet what could they be to
him9 He took the from his coat and
threw them on the floor of his dungeon,
and then he went down on his hands and
knees, and felt all over the floor till he
found them. When be Lad succeeded in
finding them, he scattered them on the
floor again; and, could you have gone into
his dungeon, you would haye found him
cropping for his four pins. When, after
six years of Imprisonment, his cell was
opened to set him free, they found him on

AN EDITORS PLUCK.
The Way Colonel A. h. Mcclure, Of the
Philadelphia Times, Served n Burly


Philadelphia Special to the Cincinnati En-
quirer of the Tth.l
Philadelphia was thrown into a spasm of
excitement this morning by an assault upon
Colonel Alex. Mcclure, editor of the Times
by Nat Mckay whom the Times has repeat
eddy denounced as a plundering naval con-
tractor. Mckay has brought IL suits civil
and criminal, against the Times for the libel,
but only one has been tried, and in that the
jury disagreed. This morning Mcclure pub
lished evidence going to show that Mckay
had corrupted and subOrned certain naval
contractors who had the approval of his con-
tracts. This documentary evidence en-
braced several receipted bills for board,
liquor and cigars furnished Constructor
Hartt on McKay's account and paid for by
the latter.
The assault took place on Chestnut street,
in the middle of the day, when the thor
oughfare was thronged with people. Mr..
Mcclure was walking along with ex-Gover-
nor Curtin, entirely without apprehension
of danger. Neither of them noticed the
stalwart form of Mckay until he had come
square up alongside OF Mcclure His face
flushed and paled as he said, with some pro-
family, 81 will settle with YOU now myself. I"
As he spoke he drew from his breast a small
plated leather whip and drew to strike Mr..
Mcclure, but his awkwardness and cowardice
so unnerved him, even with two hired ruff
fans at his heels, that before he could bring
his whip down Mcclure sprang upon him.
seized him forcibly by the throat with both
hands and held him as If in wise. Mckay
gagged and struggled to extricate himself,
but in few seconds it was manifest that he
was utterly helpless and that he must
speedily fall at the mercy of the maa he had
assaulted.
All this was the work almost of an instant,
and the two hired pals of Mckay at once
rushed in upon Mcclure, and in less time
than il could be told one-who gave his
name at the magistrates as John Conlan-
struck him q strong blow on the back of the
head and followed 1t with another on the

left ear. A passing citizen caught Conlan
and held him from further blows. While
Conlan was striking Mcclure from behind
another pal of McKay's rushed upon Nc
Clure in front and struck him over the left
eye with some instrument, probably black
jack, and was about to repeat the blow when
he was thrown back by Governor Curtin. In
the crowd he made his escape without being
identified by any one present. In the mean
time Mcclure held Mckay by the throat un-
til he was relieved by che interference of the
crowd and officers.
Mckay and the so-called Conlan were
taken in custody by the police. who asked
Mcclure what he wanted done with them.
He answered that the hired rufian should
be held, but that he could settle the matter
with Mckay. 1t is evident that Mckay had
worked his courage up to an attempt to
horsewhip Mcclure believing that as he was
the much more rugged of the two he could
master Mcclure and degrade him by public
whipping, but consulting his fears. he en-
ployed two ruffians to aid him in case he
should fail, and thus save himself from get
ting aOgged instead of fiogging the hated ed
itOr. His attendant, who gives his name as
COnlan, is New York rough with his pro-
fessional card covering his whole face. He
was unnoticed in the affair until he sneaked
up behind Mcclure and struck two rapid
blows on the back of his head and ear 1t is
evident. also. IndI ROBBERY was one OF the
purposes of McKay's pals, as Mr.. Curtin's
watch chain was torn from him, and Nc
Clure's was torn off also, and neither of them
had been in position to have their chains
taken by accident. The fact that neither Of
the chains were found proves that they were
taken by the thieves Both saved their
watches by the neck chain breaking a few
inches from the stem.
Mckay was in New York on Friday, and
publicly boosted there that he had bought
the whip to chastise Mcclure, and his pals
were probably brought from there so that
they might escape recognition in case the
expedition should prove disastrous. What
ever McKay's contract with the ruffians
may have been they evidently intended to
do something on their own hook, but the
only trophies of the combined assault of one
stalwart plundering contractor and two thiev-
ing DULLES were the severe contraction OF
one windpipe, two cheap broken watch
chains, two arrests for aggravated assault
and battery, and the universal publication
of the cowardice of the whole party.

could not obtain a single one of his Phila-
delphia auditors to truthfully testify that
the music had been produced at this end of
the wire The New Workers paid an admit
lance fee, and in return got all the telephon-
&c music
THE PROFESSOR GETS READY.
1t was IA minutes past O'Clock last even
ing when Prof. BoScovitz ran his fingers
through his hair and sat down before what
appeared to be a toy piano of nearly two
octaves compass. The New York audience
for an hour previous had been enjoying a
vocal concert by visible performers The
Philadelphia audience did not hear the mu.
sic. The fact was communicated to them by
telegraph, which greatly detracted from the
enjoyment of the performance. Evidently
the telephone works but one way. At a
quarter past o'clock Prof. Boscovitz
coughed slightly-the force of habit, for it is
scarcely possible that the New
Workers heard it = and suddenly.
with the forefnger of his right
hand, he bounced down upon the first note
of Home, Sweet Home" Those who ex-
pected crash of harmony were sadly disap-
pointed. Those who listened for melodious
whisper heard it not. That first key was ev-
identity broken, for it came down with de-
moralized thud. The professor struck an
other key-another thud; and thud after
thud followed the striking of key after key.
Finally a note, evidently somewhere near
the bottom of the musical alphabet. felt the
impress of the professors finger, and it re-
sponded with buzz that a circular saw
would envy. The instrument lived. The
professor only used one hand, the telephone
only allowing one note to be struck at a
time. The instrument may, in time, perfora
a good work by showing some one-armed
soldier the error of his way and induce him
to swear off from hand organs. When
the professor had told his Philadelphia
audience-it was necessary to inform them
of the fact-that Home, Sweet Home, " was
concluded, there was an awkward pause
No one could conscientiously applaud. En-
thusiasm would have been bare faced false
hood. At this moment the telegraph an
nounced that the New Workers were cheer
ing and the music splendid, and so the
Philadelphia audience responded with APP
plause. The professor bowed, with the New
York audience in his minds eye, and fol-
lowed with "Come Gentil," from Don Pas
quale; Then You'll Remember Me-" from
Bohemian Girl; LAST Rose OF Summer"
"M'appari," from Martha; Carnival of
Venice" with two variations, and Yankee
Doodle The last effort was the only one
heard by the Philadelphia folks, and it was
distinguishable only by the thud of the keys
as the professors fingers fell upon them.
Distance evidently lends enchantment to the
ear in the ascot telephone music.

A Young Woman Bound and Ravished
by n Tramp i'm Sedalia, Missouri.
Sedalia Special TO the st. Louis Globe-DemO-

ISedalia Special to the ST. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, 17th.l
In this city, in little one story brown
house on Sixth street, this morning, there
was perpetrated one of those terrible crimes
which make the heart shudder and turn
every mans blood into fire. Within the
shadow of church. and almost in sight of
an altar, young woman was made the vic
tim of that nameless horror which only an
incarnate devil can commit. The circum
stances of the unfortunate occurrence, as
nearly as can learn them, are as follows:
The victim of the outrage is stranger in
this city, visiting married sister, and has
only been few days in town. Her sister
had stepped out to visit a neighbor, and the
young lady was left alone In the house.
About 10 o'clock a man appeared at the
front door and knocked for sdmittance. On
opening the door, the young lady (she is
only Is years of age) was confronted by
LARGE, WEATHER BEATEN MAN,
about fifty years old, of tall, sinewy frame,
and with hair slightly streaked with gray.
The young lady was wiping her hands on a
towel at the time of the knock, and opened
the door with the towel in her hand. As
soon as the tramp saw her he seized hold of
her, and snatching the towel out of her
hand, bound it tightly around her face and
mouth. He flung her upon the bed and
her hands and legs. The hands were
stretched out and tied to the bedposts at op-
posite extremities, and one of her legs fas-
tened in the same secure manner. In this
helpless condition of his victim he had but
little difficulty in accomplishing
THE MOST INFAMOUS CRIME
in the compass of the human mind. The
miscreant was in the house 10 minutes and
made his escape by rear kitchen window
and from thence into an alley where he dis
appeared from view.
The news flew like wild fire throughout
the city, and very soon the city, was being
secured for the villain. At 2:30 the fire bell
was rung, giving the alarm of fire, which
brought to the city hall 300 or 400 people in
a very short time. Mayor Blocher mounted
load of wood and told the people they
should make an organized effort to catch
the man. To that end squads of men went
in every direction. A man was heard of al
Lewis station, on the NJ, X. and t. road
that, it was thought, answered the descrip
ton of the ravisher. Superintendent Gar
ner Immediately dispatched special train
and it was learned that he was not the right
man. At o'clock tonight he had not been
arr ested.

THE "LITTLE GIANT's- SONS.
Something About the Two Sons of Ste
pben A. Douglas.

The great statesman, better known as the
Little GIANT Stephen A. Douglas, deceased,
has two sons living in the western part of
North Carolina, Robert NJ. and Stephen A,
Jr. The former will be remembered as the
first of President Grants private secre taries.
and is now United States marshgl for the
western district of North Carolina The lat
ter is studying law under r. NJ. Pear
son, chief justice of the supreme
court of the Old North state. He lisa young
giant intellectually, and an eloquent orator.
Like his father, unless an evil genius gets
the better of him, he is bound to make his
mark in the world We see by the Raleigh
News that Colonel r. NJ. Douglas is about to
be removed from the position of United
States marshal, as also the United States
district attorney, Mr.. Lusk, and the reason
is that the bearing OF these two officers and
their subordinates toward persons charged
with illicit traffic in whisky in the west has
been such as to bring the re-
publican party into great disrepute,
and that for this reason the admin
istration has determined to throw them
overheard" 1t is to be hoped that there is
no truth in the accusation. Colonel Douglas
has stood high in the estimation of the best
people of North Carolina. Both he and Mr..
Lusk were delegates to the convention which
nominated President Hayes for the position
the latter now occupies; but both were ia
vorable to. as they termed it, the strongest
man before the convention, and they at first
supported Senator Conkling. 1t may be for
this reason the republicans of North Carroll
ma are anxious to secure the removal of these
two officials But let us hope that Colonel
Douglas can show the president and the
country that he has been an honest official,
and that accusations to the contrary are en-
tirely gratuitous.

New ORLEANS, April 19.-The commission
ers talked freely to the agent of the asso-
ciated press this afternoon, believing that
the end of their labors Is near. They have
been necessarily more or less reticent here
tofore Their efforts have been largely
through individual conversation, and TO
publish their appeals and suggestions in
advance of any evidence of their acceptable
ity would have defeated their object. They
strenuously endeavored to secure one legis-
lature by general consent; reunion
would be nominal and nearly valueless un-
less accompanied by good degree of real
reconciliation and harmonious purpose.
They have constantly urged upon each side
the duty of making propositions tending to
the removal of the difficulties through the
work of citizens of Louisiana. They believe
that the national government has desired 10
accept what Louisiana should present rather
than dictate what Louisiana should do. and
that no settlement enforced upon the
sszte by military power could estab-
hsA justice and peace. They have
st-iyen not SO much for detailed plans

New ORLEANS, April 19.-The statement
of Young in the Packard legislative caucus
to-day, that he had been deprived of his
personal liberty, might have been said by
many of those present. The guard fearing
desertion it is stated, mutinied for time
and refused to allow any of those sus-
pected to leave the building. This condition
of things continued for an hour or two, when
order was restored. Many members were
very violent, and disorders were general.
Many members insisted upon speaking at
the same time, several of whom were stand
ing up in their chairs and on top of desks
yelling vociferously.
