A Terrible Murder,

John Goodrich, living in a small hamlet
called Francisville, in Boone County, Ken
lucky, was horribly .assassinated while
sitting by his freside. The Cincinnati
Enquirer report says that Goodrich had
only just entered his home. He had been
hard at work all day with a team, and was
exceptionally tired. Without remo wing
either hat or overcoat he had flung himself
in a chair to the left of a large open fire.
place, in which was blazing a couple of
logs. His ~step-daughter sat directly in
front of the fire conversing with her mother,
sitting Immediately on her right. The room
was light, and the curtains were up Good
rich sat with his chin buried in his hand,
his elbow resting on his knee. He sat as
silent as a sphinx, and was probably
absorbed in thought. Suddenly, with no
word of warning, and while all without was
as still as a tomb crash as heavy as thun-
der broke in upon them. The window
glass seemed to fill the air, smoke was dense
to suffocation, and before the report had
died away John Goodrich, without uttering
q groan, fell headlong from his chair a
corpse, and his brains oozed out on the
floor. Two shots had been fired so near
together thatthey sounded as one. Both
loads barely grazed Miss Riley One charge
had taken effect in a door between which
and the assassin Goodrich sat. The other
charge all entered the victim. One shot or
bullet went clear through the victims neck,
and a handful plowed a hole into his skull
big enough to almost insert the fist.

Dickens Little Folks.

Nothing has given the writings of Charles
Dickens SO strong a hold upon the hearts of
parents as the well-known excellence of his
portrayal of children and their interests.
These delineations having received the ap-
proval of readers of mature age, the differ
ent child characters have been detached
from the large mass of matter with which
they were originally connected, and pre-
scented in the authors own language, to a
new class of readers, TO whom the little vol
umes will be attractive as the larger origi-
nails have proven to the general public. A
series of twelve volumes has been prepared,
presenting, among others, the following
characters: "Smike,n from Nicholas Nick
leby; "Little Nell" from The Old Curiosity
Shop "The Child Wife," from David Cop
perfield; "The Boy joe" from Pickwick
Papers, etc, etc. A new edition of the first
volume of the series, Little Paul." from
Dombey & Son, has Just been issued, illus
trated, by barley, and attractive bound.
The other volumes will shortly follow. Sent
postpaid for 81 or any volume will be sent
with a years subscription to the New York
Tribune weekly, for 81; or any two vol
umes with a years subscription to the hide
pendent for So. JOHN R.. ANDERSON, Pub

History in our Common schools.

Our attention hasrccently been called to a
History of the United States for the use of
schools, by Prof. ]. c. Ridpath, which is not
only the best we have ever seen; but en-
braces features of rare value never before in
corporated into any history. 1t is written in
a style of great elegance, but simple and easy
of comprehension; Systematically arranged
in a connected narrative; elegantly and in
diligently illustrated with chronological
charts, progressive maps, Typographical dia-
grams, portraits and cuts; fresh, philo-
sophical and readable.
1t is as much unlike an ordinary school
history as the beautiful periods of Irving are
unlike the turgid nonsense of Upper and
it so adroitly weaves the inspiring story Of
the country into the web and wool of it's ma
terial facts as to impress the lessons of his
tory upon the mind with indelible force. 1t
is fact dressed in elegant periods, noble
diction, impressive characterizations, and
Illuminated by appropriate incident and
beautiful pictures. The publishers Jones
Brothers &C.,, Cincinnati, OhiO) have made
the most elegant and attractive schoolbook
now before the public.

JeIlieS in an Orange.

George III, it is reported, was once
puzzled when eating apple dumplings to
know how the apple got inside the dump
ling.
During a recent Chinese banquet at
San Francisco an orange was laid at the
plate of each guest. The fruit, on being
cut open, was found to contain five
kinds of delicate %jellies. Colored eggs
were also served, in the inside of which
were found nuts, %jellies. meats and con-
fections. When one of the Americans,
asked the interpreter to explain this leg
erdemain of cookery, he laughed heart
lily, shookhis head and replied, Mclean
mar heap smart,-why he not findee
out?"
The orange "trick" is easy to see
through. A hole about the size of a ten
cent piece is made in the skin, through
which the pulp is taken out; then one
kind of jelly, warmed SO that it will run,
is poured into the orange; when it has
cooled another is poured in, and so on
until the orange is filled. When the jel-
lies are of different %colors, the effect on
cutting the orange is very striking.

Truth About Horace Greeley.

The Philosopher of the Tribune was a
great gourmand, not an epicure, and
would eat, in and out of season,
whatever pleased his palate. And this,
although he was a professed Grahamite,
or a believer in a vegetable and cereal
diet. We have known him to walk
several blocks for a loaf of Graham
bread, which he would consume with an
accompaniment of two dozen large fried
oysters, and to eat a midnight meal of
beefsteak and hot buttered biscuit that
the Kentucky giant or a half-civilized
ostrich would have shrunk from.
But Mr.. Greeley never drank liquor
of any kind-neither malt, wine nor
spirits. He did not know the taste of
spirits, and would not use them ever as
medicines. In the course of forty years
that we knew him intimately, we lever
but nee knew of his tasting anything
that contained liquors, and then he did
it unwittingly. For years it had been
his custom to eat his Thanksgiving
dinner at the house of a lady friend,
who had brought with her from her ma
tive Vermont the traditional New Eng
land custom of celebrating Thanksgiv-
ing. The late Mr.. Henry j. Raymond
and John F. Cleveland (Mr. Greeley's
brother inlaw), also now deceased, were
generally among the guests. ION one of
these occasions plates of brandy peaches
were placed for each guest. Greeley,
standing on nc ceremony, tasted of the
peaches, and finding them palatable,
quickly disposed of the allotted portion,
and was handing up his plate for
another supply, when Cleveland-who
was On the opposite side of the table
interrupted him with the question,
Printer GALL his associates called him
Printer, what are you eatingw "Some-
thing good" answered Greeley, with
that peculiar drawling out of the last
word which was his habit when he was
particularly satisfied. "Well," con-
tinued Cleve, "you have been gobbling
down brandy peaches like an old topper"
There was a look-a strange mingling OF
disgust, sadness and dismay-came ove1
Mr.. Greeley's face, and mournfully say.
ing, " What did you tell me that for?
he pushed aside the replenfshed plate,
and the gratiied palate was hastily
cleansed with a bounteous draught Of
Croton. We are confident that never
after-either knowingly or inadver
tently-did he use it in any shape. We
know thatever after, when at his annual
visit, he was particular to ask, "Mothel
s., have you been poisoning those
peaches with that internal brandy"

be made, in which event more trouble will

be made, in which event more trouble will
doubtless occur.
A fatal accident happened at ]. NJ. Muel-
ler's stone-yard, near the Ohio and Missis-
sippi Railroad, Cincinnati, to a laborer
named John Kahn. The workmen were en-
gagged, by means of a crane, in transferring
six tons of pig iron from one car to another,
and the weight caught against the side of
one of the ears. Kahn was trying to free it,
when the chain hook snapped and the pom
derous mass fell upon him, crushing his
legs. He was taken to the hospital, where
he died at one o'clock mex morning.
He was forty years of age, and leaves a wife
and children.

The South.

Edward Wyatt and Frank Webster,
United States Special Bailifs, have been
wounded by moonshiners in Cumberland
County, Kentucky. The eye of the former
was shot out, and the latter was shot
through the head. Captain t. B. Webster,
United States Deputy Marshal, with aposse,
were attacked by triple their number. The
.moonshiners ambuscaded the officers.
Wyatt received sixteen shots in his face.
The Senate Finance Committee of the Ten
nessee Legislature recommended a COM
promise of the State debt at so cents on the
dollar, the bonds to bear 6 per cent. interest.
The Louisville Courier Journals Stanford,
KY, correspondent telegraphs the arrest of
Sam. Holmes, who murdered Sheriff Napier
in 1869. Eighteen hundred dollars reward
has been offered for his arrest, but so great
has been the terror inspired by his name
and a desperate gang of associates that no
one would heretofore attempt his capture.

a report, and in explanation thereof said
that reductions had been made by the com-
mittee in the amount provided for in the
Senate. The total amount of the bill as
agreed upon is 81, 645 1878. The report of the
Conference Committee was agreed to, and
the bill passed. The Post Route Bill, with
amendments, was passed, and a bill relative
to the burial of officers and others of the
United States Navy who persisted by the
wreck of the u. 8. steamer Huron. -. House
Mr.. Singleton presented a report of the Con-
ference Committee On the Deficiency APP
preparation Bill. He explained that the
difference between the two houses was
$171, 600, and the Committee of Conference
of the House had yielded $102, 900 to the de-
mands of the Senate committee. After some
discussion the report of the committee was
accepted. 1t now goes to the President for
his signature. The Paris Exposition Bill,
with the Senate amendments, was passed.
Mr.. Wood, from the Committee of Ways
and Means, presented a resolution, which,
after some parliamentary d~isputation, the
Speaker directed to be read. 1t instructs
the several committees having in charge
matters relating to Indian affairs, naval
affairs, military affairs, Postoffces, public
lands, ETC., to inquire into any errors,
abusesssor frauds in the administration of
the laws affecting such branches. of the
public service, with power to send
for persons and papers, to sit during
the recess, etc. Much flibustering
took place, on the part of the
Republicans, to prevent a vote on the reso'
luton, without effect. The Republicans,
under the lead of Mr.. Butler, declined vot-
ing, Sc as to show the absence of a quorum,
when, under the rule, nothing is in order,
but a motion for a call of the House, and
a motion to adjourn. After several votes
were taken by ayes and noes, the House at,
7:20, adjourned.
DECEMBER 15.-Senate-During the read.
ing of the journal a message was received
from the House announcing that the Speaker
had signed a number of bills-among them
the Deficiency Appropriation BiR-all sol
which were Immediately signed by the
Vice-President. Mr.. Butler submitted Q
resolution for the investigation of the dis
charge of the Committee on Privileges and
Elections from the consideration of hi:
credentials at the extra session, but Mr.
Cameron, of Wisconsin, objected on the
ground that the resolution was in violation
of an agreement not to transact new
business; and after an animated discussion
the resolution went over........Ho uSe-Tht
Democratic side under the lead of Mr.
Wood has been e~ndeavoring all day to force
a vote on the resolution for a wholesal,
investigation, while the Republican side ha.
shown an equal amount of determination
not to allow a vote. After considerab
flibustering Mr.. Mills moved to postpon,
until the 10th of January, which wa
carried.
