A Gallant RIescue.

A.eleven o'clock yesterday morn
ing the premises on the fourth floor
of No. 1913 West Thirty.first street
were discovered to be on fire. and
before the engines arrived jets of
fame were seen issuing through the
roof and windows of the house
The crowd which gathered was hor-
riffied at the appearance at one Of
the windows in the midst of the
flames of a woman bearing child
in her arms. She seemed to have
been penned in by the fire, and
rather than meet death in that form,
had resolved to throw her child
from the window and then to fol-
lew. She was holding the child by
the dress and was preparing to let
it drop when she was hiDdered in
her design by shout from the as
sembled crowd below. John Scan
lon, of the elevated stables. oppo-
site, with his partner, John McGol-
drick, pushed through the throng
and climbed the balf-burne6 stair
case with the help of the bslustrsde,
which still stood. just as the wo-
man in despair was blanching on
the window sill, the two men with
their hair burned away and their
faces blistered, appeared behind her.
amid q great shout from the crowd,
and drew her in. They brought
mothsr and child out safe, though
both men aud the woman were Sc
vereIy burned. She is Mrs. Cor
rigan. and lost all her furniture by
the fire. The child was unharmed .

disposed of by the House, the Senators
returned 60 that body and. entered up
on the dual count. When the an
ueuncement of the election OF Hayes
and Wheeler was made by Mr. Ferry,
in his clear voice, which fairly runR
through the Hall, no demonstration, OF
assent or dissent were made on either
the flour or In the galleries, and in {
few minutes the Capitol was deserted
by its surging and seething mass OF
humanity and was wrapped once more
in darkness. The flag which had
hoated fron its roof for the last 30
days was furled and thus ended the
longest legislative day in the history
Of Congress. Our unfurled flag, like
the open temple doors of Rome in cid
times, has been Indicative that We
we're not 1t peace, and now that 1t Is
down and furled we feel assured We
are entering upon the ere of peace and
for the last time, has fioated over US a.
a nation at war with itself. The rule
or ruin party is dead, and 1t Is bless
ing indeed that the worst of the re-
bellious spirits who have given us past
trouble have been repudiated by their
constituents and Congress will know
them no more. INDEx.

4 VVestern Dome-aIc tragedy.

A wealthy, middle aged and jeai-
Gus Englishman at Oakland, Cal,
has found that he didn't take the
right way to trap his pretty young
wife. In the orthodox fashion, he
told her he was going to Sac
ramento for 3 week; but he came,
back. the second day, crept nto
the library, and alter much diff
Guilty encased himself in one of
several coats of mail fastened to
the dosr, where he patiently await
ed the false wife's gay lover. Dark
ness cam e; 8 O'clock; midnight
and not even the wife appeared.
The old gentleman grew tired,
fell asleep, and unfortunately
snored. This frightened the but
Ter, who came down stairs, gun in
hand, to meet the robber. The
jealous husband was dreaming,
when a handful Of quail shot took
him in the breast plate, and amid
his terrified shrieks, the butler
promptly put the other load into
the pier glass, under the impress
sion that another burglar was
drawing a bead on him. After
the whole neighborhood was
aroused, the mistake was discov-
ed and the battered party extract
ed by the aid of blacksmith, and
amid the smokers of the assem-,
bly,, the chagrined man crawled
up stairs to his bedroom. A
small note was sticking on the
pln-cusihon. His wife had eloped
the morning before!

Life as Deadwood. Black Hills.

There are saloons all over the
place, and whisky four bits drink.
They put two barrels upon end,
nail board across for a bar, and
deal out. A miner who wants to
treat pours some gold dust on the
barrel head and says, "Set 'em up"
They never weigh the dusE.
Sometimes a man won't put down
enough dust, bat they never say
a word; and if he's a little tight,
and pours out ten or fifteen dol
lars worth, they never mention it.
They have three faro banks run
ming all the while. They don't
use checks for the boys: when
they won a pile of checks they
threw 'em all over the place, and
some were too drunk to handle
'em. So the checks got played
out. Now a man puts a little
gold dust on q dollar greeHback,
and it goes for two dollars worth
of dust, on q ten dollar greenback
goes for twenty dollars, and so
on. They never weigh dust at ali,
but guess the amount. We have
daily newspaper-that is, some
times its daily, and then when the
compositors get drunk it don't
come out for several days. II a
man wants gun wadding, he goes
and pays four bits for a paper.
Whenever they start new city
government they print a lot OF
ordinances then there's a grand
rush for the paper. Sometimes
it comes out twice . week, and
sometimes twice day. Every
man in Deadwood carries about
fourteen pounds of fire arms
hitched to his belt, and they never
pass any words. The fellow that
gets his gun out first is the best
man, and they lug off the other
fellows body. Our graveyard is
a big institution, and growing
one. Sometimes, however the
place Is right quiet. I've known
times when a man wasn't killed
for twenty-four hours. Then,
again perhaps, they'd lay out five
or six a day. When man gets
too handy with his shoOtin irons,
and kills five or six, they think he
insn't safe, and somebody pops
him over to rid the place of him.
They don't kill him for what he
has done, for what he's liable to
do. I suppose that the average
deaths amount to about one hund.

Boys and young men sometimes
start out in lie with the idea that
ones success depends on sharp
ness and chicanery. They imag-
inc if a man is able to always
''get the best of a bargain" no
matter by what deceits and mean
ness, he carries his point, that his
prosperity is assured. This is 3
great mistake. Enduring pros
perity cannot be founded on cum
ming and dishonesty. The tricky
and deceitful man is sure to fall a
victim, soon or late to the infiu-
ences which are forever working
against him. 'His house is built
upon the sand" and its foundation
will be certain to give away.
Young people cannot give theee
truths too much weight. The
future of that young man is safe
who eschews every phase of dou-
bic dealing and dishonesty, and
lays the foundation of his career
in enduring principles Of ever
lasting truth.

ALLEN, KAN, Mar. 9Th, 1877.
EDIroR NEws:-The railroad bonds
are carried and Emporia iashappy. The
Presidential question Is decided and
we are all happy. The people OF Kan
sas are nov turning their attention to
the grasshopLer business. I am re-
ceivIng letters from different parties
asking for my experience In the
grasshopper line. must say as I
have said so many times In the NEWS"
that have never known them 70 do
US any harm In the spring, although
some counties east of this suffered
some few years age. 1 have known
several yisitatIons of the pests since I
have been Ia Kansas, but the first that
we have any account of was in August,
1854. Add together the grasshoppers
that have infested the country since
then, multiply by four aud you will
form some idea Of what we had In '54
For days so dense were their columns
that the sun appeared to be in an
eclipse and the OK and mule trains on
the Santa Fe trail could not travel in
the day time. About the middle of
Sept. q part of them left for other To-
cslIties but enough of these remained
TO completely I'LL the ground with
eggs. We had 9 warm open winter
until the 18th of March, '5S. The last
of the month was warm, and the Arst
of April they Matched out until the
ground was black with them. About
the 7th or 9Th we had light frost and
that was the last of Mr.. Grssshopper.
A gentleman writing to me from
Bloomington, Ills. says: eft you as
sure me that the grassheppers will not
eat up everything I plant will move
to Kansas In the spring. You have
been In Kansas so long you certainly
must know something about the habits
OF the pests.'' To him and all others
intending to emigrate I would say.
you must take your chances as we
have done. My fields are full of their
eggs, and know they will hatch out,
but shall make no preparations to
destroy them believing that nature
will do that more effectually than ]
can. Now, Mr.. Editor, do not under
stand me to say that they will not do
any harm this spring because I find
great many things in this worl |
very uncertain, but the above has been
my experience with young grasshop-
pers after residence of over 80 years
in Kansas and o in this county. II
you will be so kind as to send me q
few copies of the "NEws" 1 will send
them to these asking for information
on the subject. c. Fl. WILMINGTON.
