cruel than the defaulter who deliberate
ly does acts which send whole families
previously decent and respectable to
the workhouse or the asylum. We de-
test the brutal rough, but is he more
brutal than the agent who quietly
swindles an aged clergyman out of his
all, and sends him to die and his chill
dren to live as paupers upon public
charity. We are all agreed to hang
the murderer, but is it SO much worse
than the man-we have known the
case-who for years deliberately eats
up old servants savings, and leaves
them, in dozens at time, to suicide,
starvation or the Union?
There is not 4 criminal lawyer in the
country who does not know of cases
where swindlers have destroyed whole
families, have wrecked the happiness
of dozens of persons, and have in
fiicted sufferings which in their long
duration are as much worse than physi-
cal pain as misgovernment is worse
than war, merely that they themselves
might lead lives little easier than they
otherwise would have done. A fraudu-
lent banker, a swindling attorney, a
successful forger, scatters misery
broadcast, misery as acute as any ever
inflicted by the rough who kicks his
wife half dead, or beats casual passer-
by into long and dangerous Illness

The Death Of Nero.

NERO wandered out into the streets
of Rome, knocked at the doors of
friends; none would answer or let him
in. He came back to his bedroom,
called for Spicillus, the gladiator, to
kill him, but Spicillus was gone.
"Whatv' said he to Epapdroditus, his
Secretary, who had now joined him,
shave neither friend nor foe?' And
he rushed out again to throw himself
into the Tiber; but, his courage failing
him, and, his reason growing clear once
more in the face of appalling calamity,
he wished for some quiet place where
he might consider his strange and sud-
den position, and collect his thoughts
for death. With his head muffled up,
and covering his face with a handker-
chief, dressed only in a tunic, with an
old soiled cloak thrown over his Shout
der, he trudged along barefoot in the
gloom Of the early twilight, accom-
panied by Phaon, Sporus and Epaph-
roditus. As these four skunk out of the
Nomentane Gate together like common,
wavfaring men, they could hear the
soldiers in the Pr@torian camp, on their
right, cursing Nero the beast, and hail
ing Galba as Father of his country.
"They are in pursuit of Nero" said q
man as he passed them. "Any news in
the city about Nero?" asked another.
There was no time to spare. They found
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1878-03-07

him q broken-down horse, which he
mounted, and they hurried on. At
last they reached the villa of Phaon,
parched with thirst; the Emperor lap
ped up some water with his hands,
from a running tank, with the bitter
jest: "This is Nero's distilled water"
He crept quietly into the house on all
fours, through hole in the wall, and
threw himself on the first mattress,
PROSTATE with hunger, misery and ia
tigue. Then he ordered a grave to be
dug before his eyes, for he refused to
fly. He babe them to pave the pit with
marble, and, weeping Electrically, he
prepared, surrounded by his only re-
naming friends, to play his last act.
"What an artist is now about to per-
ishr' he exclaimed, but ere the words
left his lips dispatch from Rome ar
rived, which he snatched out of Phaon's
hands. He read it and shuddered. He
had been condemned by the Senate to
be beaten to death, and dragged by the
heels and flung into the Tiber. Selling
two daggers, he felt their points.
Greek verses occurred to him, and
he began to recite. He begged
Sporus to set up wall for him-to kill
him-to kill himself first. At this mo-
ment the tramping Of horses and clash
of armed men were heard below. He
broke out in verse from the "Iliad:"
"The noise of swift-heeled steeds as
sails my ear" In another moment he
would be taken alive. "Come then,
courage, manr' he cried, and feebly
pushed the point of the dagger into his
throat. But his nerve was gone, and
Epaphroditus came to his help and
pressed it home. The guards burst in
and would have seized him. els this
your fidelity?'' he murmurcd, and ex-
pired, with staring eyes, to the terror
of all who beheld him. 1t was his last
pose, and, as the end of such life, it
could not have been outdone. els this
your fidelity?'' "He had never made a
better comic hit,'' writes M. Renan.
"Nero uttering melancholy plant
over the wickedness of the age, and the
disappearance of good faith and virtue!
Let us applaud! as the drama is ended
and the curtain falls. Once in history,
0 Nature, with thousand masks, thou
hast had the wit to find an actor worthy
of such role. Good Words.

little ones in Philadelphia, where they
would have every attention and superb
or advantages of education. This was
believed, and all went along quietly for
a year or two, when he received let
ter from some one-no doubt an ac-
complice-stating that the children had
both died of diphtheria. This, it seems,
aroused some suspicion, and the friends
of the children determined to keep a
watch upon the movements of the UNI
Gle, whom they had come to look upon
as a criminal. 1t turned out, however,
that they had not long to watch, as he
was arrested, tried and convicted of
some act of piracy, and was sentenced
to solitary servitude for life. About
six months ago the unfaithful guardian
found himself about to die, and dis
closed the whole career of crime in
which he has been SO successful, and
told the prison officials that the chill
dren were not dead, as he had stated,
but were living at Bradford, but did not
say what Bradford. The gentleman,
after searching for some days, and not
hearing anything from them there. will
return and make further and fuller
search in this city and vicinity. The
property left by the dying man is said
to exceed $500, OOO.-Bradforl PA. }

Workers in Deep Mines.

Nor many men who see the miners
of the Savage lifted out at the
top of the shaft at change of shift
have the courage to descend into the
lower regions of the mine. Very few
even of the old residents of the Com
stock would care to descend into the
steaming regions below, and not one
Eastern man in a thousand could be in
duced to make the trip after seeing the
men popped out at the top of the shaft,
steaming as though just lifted out of a
caldron of boiling water. Though they
are shirtlcss-naked as at birth from
the waist up-and wear only cotton
Overalls, they are dripping as if but a
moment out of pond of water; vet
this is from steam and perspiration.' In
all this great heat men must work.
The wonder is that they are able to do
anything but gasp and pant. 1t is u
place better fitted for salamanders than
for men. At the head of the main in
cline it is as hot as in the hottest vapOr
baths at Steamboat Springs. One
would think that men in such a place
would be quite secure against rheuma-
tism. On making inquiries in this re-
gard of an underground foreman, he
said he never knew of any of his men
working below tohave the rheumatism.
Some of our sufferers from this disease
might try this cure-might procure
themselves to be lowered into the
depths of the mine, there to sit and
steam through one shift per day. But
for the immense quantities of ice water
they drink, the men could not endure
the great heat in which they are placed
or the floods of perspiration pumped
from their pores. They swallow gal
Ions on gallons of it, and it never hurts
them in the least. Virginia city (Nev.

A Double Surprise.

WHILE Mr.. and Mrs. Enright are
agreed upon most all other subjects,
they do not exactly agree as to how
tramps should be treated. That is,
they didn't until yesterday. His heart
was tender enough for him to say,
Every time you feed a hungry per.
son you lay up treasures in Heaven
Il can't have them annoying me,
and l won't!'' was her spunky reply.
"Does it annoy you to have a hum
CRY man ask for food?''
Yes, it does!''
"Pd be only too glad to feed and
converse with score of them," he
continued. I'D like to ask them of
their past deeds and future intentions;
find out if they realize that there is an
other world; put new and better
thoughts into their minds. Oh! Han
nah, be good to the unfortunately
Jpn fix you, old manr' she said to
herself, as she leaned back to rock. and
she meant to do it. Next morning,
when he had been gone an hour, a
tramp called and asked for sand
witch. The fellow was invited into the
parlor to warm and wait for dinner.
At ten O'Clock there were three in there.
At eleven there were seven. Half an
hour later she smilingly seated two
more. About noon, while waiting for
her husband to arrive and ask them of
their future hopes and fears, and
chuckling over her scheme. she heard
one tramp call out:
LET go my harp
"Give it to him. shouted a second.
"'Rah for me- screamed third,
and then the crashing aud smashing
drowned their voices. The whole
crowd fought across and around the
parlor, out into the hall, and two OF
three were being dragged down the
front steps as Mr.. Enright came up.
"'Nother of us. Go for himr'
yelled big tramp, and the good man
was hit on the ear, pitched into the
snow, and didn't come to until dozen
camphor bottles had been collected.
He entered the house leaning on his
wife's arm. They stood in the parlor
door and gazed on the panorama. 1t
was gorgeous.
''How much treasure in Heaven dc
you think has been placed to our credit
this morning?' she mildly inquired.
He slowly reached for the camphor
bottle, took Il long sniff, and replied:

them.
A Vienna telegram of the 25th says
Austria would not submit to the erection, on
her frontier, of the territories defined in the
Russian terms of peace, and unless they were
essentially mortified would fight either with
or without the help of England.
