FATE OF THE CZARS.
The Poison Bowl, the Dagger and Gh,
Bed Cord


Bed Cord
It may be interesting Just now to note
what history and rumOr says of the fate
of the czars of Russia. From Ruric
! tSG2) to JUrie, or George I. (I55,) who
built Moscow, there were seventeen
dukes of Kiev. To these follow sixteen
| grand dukes Of Vladimir, ending with
! JuTie, or George Ill, in 1925. The
| succeeding sOveTeigns, nine in number
| bore the title of grand duke of Mos
COW. In 1917 commences the list of
| CZars of MuscOvy, whose territorial
! boundaries have spread by purchase but
| chiefly by conquest, until they reach the
! giant dimensions of the present Russian
| empire. FeOdOr l., second czar, was
| poisoned; Boris poisoned himself; Ivan
| VI, Of the house of ROmanOff, was de-
! posed; Peter III. was depOsed and muir
! dered Paul |. was strangled in his bed
! chamber; Alexander l. is reported to
| have died by slow poison Nicholas, too,
| is reported to have been poisoned, as
| his death was unexpected, and his body
| lay three days in private state before any
public announcement of his death was
made Another and still more COM
mon idea is that Nicholas died from NOR
tificatiOn on account of his disasters and
defeat in the Crimea. The present czar,
Alexander IL, is the sixteenth of the
house of ROman8ff. He has entered
upon a more arduous task than his father,
the conquest of COustantinOPle, at time
when the rest of the great nations are
even more aveTse to disturbing the
balance Of power in Europe than when
SebastOpOl was attScked. The crown does
not sit easily upon his head. Recent
accounts say that Alexander's cheeks are
sUnkeD, his eyes are lUsterless, his step
has lost much of its elasticity, and his
carriage is less dignifed than formerly.
He is described as prematurely aged,
which is not marvellous since he works
from eight in the morning until nine
o'clock at night, laboring even harder
than his ministers. There is hot work in
the east and the west already. For
Down each deep and skirtcd valley,
Where the crowded cannon play
Where the tzaI's fierce cohorts rally

Down each gorge they sweep away!

Underneath the iron shower,

If Alexander should fail, and the
crescent should look down upon myriads
of Russians sent to their death by his
ambition to possess ConstantinOple, he
will likely 90 the way of Nicholas, either
by treason or observation-disclosures. 1t is
believed in Russia that on the base of a
statue erected by the early chiefs there
appeared a amiraculously- written prophecy
that the Russ would one day sit IN the
seat of the Greek emperor. Every Czar
has sanctioned the fsble, and hence each
one who attacks Turkey fears the con-
sequences of failure.

BLOOD-sTAINED CRIMINALS.
Farmer and his Three Sons Guilty OI
Fourteen N urders.

Fourteen Murders.
But few Of our oldest citizens do no
know George Brown; WHO settled Oh
what is now known as the Pringle farm
two and a half miles west of town, il
about the year 1850. George Brown
during the time he lived in this county
was a respected citizen and a member OF
the Christian Church. He had three
sons George, Jesse and JOsiah-whO
were about men when they left
here, which took place in the year 1855
Or thereabOuts. Frsm here they re-
moved to Texas, in which state they
have resided since. They have lately
been arrested upon a complaint filed
against them by Samuel Boris, who
married q daughter of George Brown, Sr.
From the facts developed since the ar
rest of Brown, his sons, BcTTis and 9th
ers we are unable to name, composed
one of the most daring and mUTdeTOus
organizations that ever infested the
wilds of Texan frontier. The com
paint charges them with fourteen muir
deTs of the darkest and most appalling
nature. The exposure of the Browns
by their confederate and relative was
brought about as follows: 1t seems that
Jesse was the chief of the elan, and gave
orders, which were as binding ds an oath,
and whatever be commanded must be
done. They were organized under the
pretence of putting down lawlessness and
crime. Jesse was married, and he and
his wife had a falling out, and they both
went out of nights, pretending to lisent
to the song of the nightinE ale, which re-
suited finally in their separation. The
woman (Jesse's wiie), knew the secrets Cf
the lodge or organization, and Jesse (the
chief said that she knew too much,
and that she must die for the safety OF
the clan,
1t seems that Mrs. Brown and Boris
wife were very intimate; and so jesse
gave orders that she, too, must die. and
proceeded to appoint the execUtioners Of
the women-one his own wife, and the
other his sister He appointed this
Samson Boris to take the life of his
(Jesse's) wife and some other member OF
the party to take the life OF
Boris vile. But before the time
appointed to take the lives Of the
women Boris revOlted against being the
partici pant in such an iuhuman deed.
So he secretly sought out the aUthOri-
ties, made his complaint, and caused the
arrest of his father-in-law and his three
bTOthcrsin-law
Recent developments show that they
were guilty of fourteen murders. Young
George has had his trial, and was found
guilty, and was sentenced to be hanged,
but has appealed his case to the supreme
court of the state. George Brown, Sr-,
and the other Sons are to be tried this
month. They are now in the Cook coun-
ty jail.--ALbany (Mo.) Ledger.

from which visitors radiated in all direc-
tions. The st. John river in summer is
one of the most beautiful in the world,
while the sail from Portland down al on
the coast of Maine and through the bay
Of Fundy is unsurpassed. The destruc-
ton of the business portion Of the city is
a terrible calamity ; it is like destroying
the lungs on which the body depends for
its vitality. The appeal of the imPOver-
ished people for assistance is a strong
one, and is enforced, by every corsidera-
ton of sympathy and humanity. New
Brunswick ought to belong to the United

FATAL RENCONTRE AT ORKNEY
SPRINes.-A fight occurred at Orkney
Springs last Friday in which Capt. John
Avis gentlemen sixty years OF age who
was well known in Staunton as Confeder-
ate Provost Marshal during the war and
was stillmore widely known as the jailor
of Charlestown when John Brown was an
inmate, fatally wounded James johnson a
man living in the neighborhood. The par
ticulars which we learn from Mr.. Moore,
proprietor of the Springs are, that five
months ago Capt. Avis, who kept the store
for Mr.. Moore refused, by his direction. to
sell liquor to johnson who was man CIV
en- to intoxication. johnson then attacked
Avis but got worsted and has made
various threats since. On Friday he start
ed to the store saying, that he would kill
Avis before he slept that night, and few
moments afterwards as Avis came out to
attend to customer, waiting outside, he at
tackled him. In the fight Avis threw him
and Selling rock struck him several times
on the head. johnson who had been on a
spree for several weeks refused to have his
wounds attended to, and kept up his drink
ing, dying in thirty six hours after, OF in
fiammation of the brain. Capt. Avis was
bailed to appear at legal investigation OF
the matter.

THE Hook AND LADDER COMPANY,
Capt. Jno. M. Hardy, met at their new
head quarters in the Sullivan building
Tuesday night. They have made their
rooms very comfortable with their pretty
carpet, new furniture &C., and their bright
new axes look quite formidable. They
have put up their bell over their Truck
House near the Market, and are ready for
work. This company has now % members
consisting of some of the best material in
the city. Nearly all the men are members
of the temperance organizations. here.
There will be no difficulty in filling the
ranks to the full complement. Their ball
has been set for the 9th, inst, and we
hope the needed funds will be secured by a
large attendance. Every man in StauntoE
has an interest in this organization and
should realize it.

WRITING UNDER MUSICAL DIFFICULT
rIEs.--Tuesday morning the Excelsior
Brass Band, of Alexandria, arrived here
with an excursion, and spent the day
pumping music, with drum. cymbals and
great earnestness, in front Of Mr.. Taylor
Jefferson's Union Hotel, which is only two
doors from this office. While it put stop
to general conversation, the effect on edi-
torial writing was still more astonishing.
A piece of editorial manuscript reads this
way: ''If the adjusters of the tra-tra-tra
county expect -pom-pom-pom to de-
feat the um-tiddy um-tiddy um-tiddy-um
will :. of the people by secret pom-pom-
pom convention, then we are sure rub-a-
dub a-dub a-dub that they will be clang
clang-clang deceived, and the people OF the
county will give them tra-tra-pom pom
tiddy-um clang-bo-o-o-om- Here the
writer seemed to have given it up IN
despair.
