Capture OF Western Road Agents.

A Cheyenne (Wyoming) dispatch gives
the following account of the operations
and subsequent capture of couple OF
bold highwaymen 1.-The coach that
left Deadwood Tuesday morning, COM
ing south, was stopped and robbed last
night within three miles of this post, by
two armed men, supposed to be Black
burn and Wall, the notorious road
agents. There were seven passengers
on the coach, among whom was United
States Marshal Sweesy. The robbers
took everything of any value that could
be found-money, jewelry, blankets and
overcoats. The same men, about day
light this morning, robbed freight out
fit, consisting of four wagons, taking all
the blankets they had. They took from
a Chinaman who was with the train
everything he had, and then admins
tered sound thrashing with the team
ster's whip. Lieut. Chase, with de-
tachment of the Third Cavalry, accom-
panied by William Reid, an experienced
man at tracking thieves and catching
them, started this morning at daylight
in pursuit of the thieves, and followed
them nearly all day, hearing of them
often just ahead, they having robbed six
different men during the day. They
finally captured the men twelve miles
above the Government farm and about
thirty-six from Fort Laramie. A hot
chase was kept up for about five miles
after the robbers discovered their pur-
suers. They threw away O gun and
some heavy articles in their fight, and
were finally brought to bay by several
shots being fred at them, and surren-
dered. They are now in the guard
house at this post. One of them is
identified as Webster, the murderer of
Deputy Sheriff Quincy. They would not
give their names, telling the officer of
the day that they had dozen names
each, and that there was no use in giving
any names. The two gray horses they
rode are identified as two horses that
belonged to the Cheyenne and Black
Hills Stage Company, and were stolen
from them some time ago.

The Alleged Russian Atrocities.

n Mr.. Archibald Forbes, the great war
correspondent, is now in Scotland, re-
covering from the effects of his campaign
in Bulgaria. He has been invited to
Balmoral by Her Majesty. Although
he was with the Russians, he is not pro-
Russian in his political views. But he
emphatically states that all tales respect
ing Russian "atrocities" are untrue, and
that, 30 far as he could discover, no
Turkish woman was ever maltreated by
n Russian soldier This evidence of
man who, more than any one else,
has had au opportunity to test the
truth of "Russian atrocities" is i'm
portant.

The Silver Bills.

The New York Herald's Washington
correspondent says the silver people
think they have pretty sure thing of il
in both houses, and yet they are proba-
bly, mistaken. There are good many
silver men, but they are of many minds.
Some OF the most eccentric would vote
with Senator Jones to make the dollar
unlimited legal tender, and have it coined
at the mint like gold. Others, however,
are vehemently opposed to this as ex-
tremely impolitic, and dangerous as well
as dishonest, but they would agree to a
measure such as Secretary Sherman is
also believed to favor, recalling oil legal
tender notes under So and issuing silver
dollars in their stead, making these dol
lars legal tender up to $40, or perhaps
800, and receivable for public dues up
to that amount. Between these two
kinds OF silver men there is an irrecon-
cllable difference, for the latter believe
the former seek for a measure which is
in its nature fraudulent AMI injurious to
the country.

ny ALICE oARY.

Among the beautiful pictures
THAT hang on Memory's wal
Is one of dim old forest,
That seemeth best Of all
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistietoe'
Not for the violets golden
THAT sprinkle the vale below.
Not for the milk-white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
ooouelting all day with the sunbeams,
Aud stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland,
where the bright red berries rest;
Nor the pipks, nor the pale sweet oowslip,
IL seemeth to me the best.
I once had little brother,
With eyes that were dark and deep;
In the lap of that dim old forest
He lieth in peace asleep.
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free "a the winds that blow,
We roved there the beautiful summers,
The summers of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And, one OF the autumn ewes,
I made for my little brother
A bed of yellow leaves.
Sweetiy hts pale arms folded
My neck in q meek embrace,
Az the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
Aud, when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree-tops bright,
He fell, in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of light.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
The one of the dim old forest
Seemeth the best of all.

Over the Christians soul there seems
Some gentle power 10 reign,
which soothes the fiery passions pangs,
And triumphs over pain.
Some lofty power inspires his mind,
And rules his soul within;
Which pleasure takes In doing right
And scorns the paths OF sin.
No iow1y passion, vile and mean.
Can find place OF rest,
Or even for q moment dwell
Within Christians breast.
A Heavenly influence there seems
About his path to roll,
Which even has the power TO calm
The unbelieyers soul.
Earthly ambitions fiery bands
Have loosed their grasping ties;
His soul aspires TO brighter worlds,
And lands beyond the skies.
He sails hfe's dark and troubled sea
where many find a grave;
He bids the roaring wind be stiil,
And smooths the boisterous wave.
His life IL one unbroken chain
OF sweet content and bliss;
His soul exists In other worlds
Before IL parts from this.
Then, Jet my troubled spirit turn
From worldly toll and strife,
To seek that bliss, that endless bliss
Which rules the Christians LIE.

Why Soldiers Are Apt to Kill the
Wounded.

A correspondent (Mr. A. H. Christie)
sends us the following observations on
the cross charges of barb arism in the
field made by the Turks ON the one side
and the Russians on the other 81 find
floods of Indignation poured upon either
the brutal Turks or savage Russians for
their alleged practice of stabbing the
wounded. Now, sir, till you can bind
over a wounded man to abstain from en-
deavoring TO return that wound, it seems
to me unreasonable to expect the wound
er to refrain, by IN extra prod, from
making the wounded perfectly safe. If
I am gallant Turkish full private,
struck down by the lance of Cossack,
my first impulse, if am not seriously
injured and my rifle is still loaded, is to
discharge that rife ut the Cossack as hv
rides on after having knocked me over.
The Cossack, unless he is particularly
great fool, knows my feeling, by sympa-
thy, and will naturally, by second
prod, outrage all the finer feelings of
the whole race of special correspond
ents, and at the same time secure him.
self against my natural impulses. 1t is
really curious to observe how Shrek
ingly tender hearted we have grown of
late times; of course, merely mean
when our own interests are not con-
cerned. The late Lord Macaulay was

feelings, but what are the words he puts

Congressman Stephens

NEW YORK, Oct. ,. Hon. Alexander
II. Stephens of Georgia, who is now in
this city. talked with number of inter
viewers yesterday. The veteran states
man, who has been 50 actively identified
with both Northern and Southern history,
both in the National counSclS and as
Vice President Of the Confederacy during
the rebellion, does not hesitate to ay0W
his communication of President HaycS's
Southern policy. 1T seems to me-, he
said, earnestly, 'that if the present poll
cy Of the Administration which is, SO far
us We know it, exactly in accordance with
Democratic principles, be fully carried
ont, it will remove all questions Of differ
once existing between the parties, and
we shall enter on an era of good feeling
similar to that which marked the latter
part of Monroc's Administration. | want
TO say" he said afterwards, "that i'm the
lillIbusterlng that was directed against
the Electoral Commission BILL after it
became apparent that the decision was
gong against us, not u SINGLE Southern
man took any part. And It was in this
connection that Mr.. Randall deserves
much credit 1t required no little nerve
and ability to hold the reins at that time,
but he did his duty fully, and to his finn
ness and courage is largely due the pres
erVatlon of the country from serious
trouble feel that the country as We'll
| as his party owe Mr.. Randall il debt of
gratitude, and such a debt as they should
take every opportunity of repaying in
| some measure. Not to elect him to the
Spealiership now would be in effect IL re-
Election upon him such us think should
| not be cast" Speaking Of the Conkling
movement, Mr.. Stephens said he had not
| supposed that either Conkling or Blaine
would uphold the policy Of the President,
| but he did not think they would openly
assail it. He believed that while the
Democratic party would be almost unan-
lmons in the support Of the policy, the
| Republican party as n body would also
support it. Mr. Stephens, although much
| improved in health, is yet very weak,
and unable to stand without the aid OF
crutchcs. Gen. Robert Toonlbs was found
at the New York Hotel, but he told the
reporter that ut present he did not care
to talk about She political situation. He
was really tired of politics. He remarked
that his object in paying 4 visit to New
York was purely personal. His eyes seem
ed to be failing, and he intended to I'M
dergo treatment for their benefit. He
was surrounded by number of friends,
and seemed to be in good health and
| spirits
