1.-THE LAMPLIGHTER."

All the Romance Knocked Out of the Job.
A score of years ago novel entitled the
"Lamplighter" was the romance of the day.
The homely lamplighter was magnifed into
hero; philosophical hero and practical
phiianthropist. The story was told admira-
bly,. There was sentiment enough to charm
the young, and pathos enough to please the
old. It was pretty story to the child, and
readable one for the adult. "Lamplght-
err first adopted q stray kitten, all widowed
from the gutter. 1t grew into handsome,
sleek pussy. "Lamplighter'' next found a
poor little girl baby waif, he adopted that.
She grew into the heroine of the story, the
ideal of womanhood, with enough adventure
to make her life interesting, and vicssitudes
to engage sympathy. Tie girl married
wealthy, of course, and had all the etceteras
of comfortable married life. But the hum
bic old hero would not be benefited by her
opulence; he had mission in life, ssto light
up the dark places for the PEG
pie Night after night, with the
symbols of his occupation, ladder and light,
he trod his rounds, and at home :sthe Attic,
philosopher conversed, Robinson Crusoe like
with thu first child of his adoption, the cat.
II VOiy uolAeiy Hllo AuiAU!e SUBJECT was woven
into touching and complete story, appeal
ing alike to the heart of children and men
It was all the rage, and the fashion was to
have "Lamplighter" bound in colors to suit
the curtains, etc, in every parlor. Every
lamplighter became a hero to certain minds
and the vocation was ennobled. On snowy
winter evenings, curly heads looked out from
comfortable homes at stheir' lamplghter
and called out to mamma;

Then mother looked into the glowing

HE NEVER HAD A POLICY.

Secretary Evorts Corrects the Popular
Error that Hayes Erer Had Southern.
Policy.
Extract from an Interview with Secretary
Evarts.
Observation-Disclosures is a general feeling of
relief at the recent change in the Presidents
policy.
Mr.. Eyarts-There you fall into popular
error, and use popular phrase illustrative
of the methods of political managers, but
not applicable to the present administration
IN the conduct of its affairs. President
Hayes has never surrendered, abandoned or
changed any policy, because he has never
had any to change. The equality or parity
of the States-all the States-was reinstated
when he came into Office. The same admin
lstrative functions were to be performed in
all of them under the rehabilitated condition
Of things. The results of the war had been
embodied in the constitutions of the South
ern States and that of the general govern
ment, as well as in their laws, and recon
struction was an accomplished fact. The
troops had been, OF were very soon thereafter,
Withdrawn from the South, and there was
no occasion for especial or particular
methods, differing in one section from those
employed in another. The constitution of
the general government was, and is yet, his
only guide, and you will admit that being
controlled by that document could not be
properly described as being controlled by a
party. Nor were his endeavors in the ma
ture of an experiment, unless it is an expert
ment to adhere closely to constitutional re-
quirements. 1t is true that he treated the
Southern leaders as believing that they were
in earnest in their professions of a determin-
alton to preserve the integrity of American
citizenship in their respective States, but the
first election has passed, and he discovers
that his trust has been been betrayed. That
is to say, that these Southern leaders have
not, or have not been able, to keep their
pledges. They were the natural and legal
representatives of the Southern people here
at the capital, and the proper persons, off,
cially and otherwise, with whom he should
have consulted regarding Southern affairs.
So you see even his consultations with them
were not in the nature Of an experiment.

AN UNFORTUNATE TRAGEDY.

The City Marshal of Braid,cood Shot by
an Intimate Personal Friend and Clergy
man.
Wilmington Special (Nov. l6) to Chicago
Times.
Concerning the unfortunate shooting of
City Marshal Muldowney, by the Rev. R. 81.
Mcclure, in Braidwood, last night, the fol-
lowing particulars, which may be relied upon
as wholly authentic, have been ascertained
Yesterday morning Father Mcclure was SO
ill that he did not celebrate high mass. Null
downey, his sexton, usher and intimate asso-
ciate, called upon him at II o'clock in the
forenoon, and stayed with him until in the
evening, when he went home. The priest
Immediately went to bed on his friends de-
parture, and fell asleep. He was awakened
in the middle of the night, as is supposed,
although the hour was but about 8. The
lights were extinguished. Hearing some
noise upon the stair he was seized by fear,
and, suddenly Selling his revolver, he stepped
out of his bed room to the stair landing, and
IN loud voice asked: "Who is there?''
No answer was made, but the step on the
stairs continued to ascend. A second time
the priest asked "Who is there?" adding:
"f it is any one wanting me, speak, Still
no answer came, and his fear being thorough.
~ aroused he fired and kept on firing, until
he was grasped by his intimate friend Null
downey, after having fired four shots, two of
which took effect, one in the shoulder, and
one, which, it is feared, will prove mortal, a
few inches to the right Of the navel, the ball
lodging to the right of the intestines, where
it still remains. The statements of Null
downey all go to corroborate the above, and
he adds that it was his own fault for not re-
plying to the challenges. He exonerates the
priest from all blame. The overwhelming
grief of Father Mcclure on discovering the
situation was pitiable in the extreme, and his
nearest friends, suspecting mischief from his
frienzied behavior, caused him to be led away
from the scene of the melancholy occur
renee. at the instance of Null
downey's son a warrant was issued
The priest waived examination and gave
bonds for his appearance at any time OF
place when wanted. Muldowney's family
feel very bitter toward the priest, whose
charity, it may be remarked, has kept at col
lege for four years the very young man who
caused his arrest. Father Mcclure pro-
ceeded to Chicago this morning to lay the
case before his superior, the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Foley. One significant fact should be men
toned: Muldowney himself, before going ur
stairs to his sad fate, closed and, some say
locked door leading to the housekeeper's
apartment, and then put out the light. The
location of the church and parochial resi-
dence is in Lower, OF Old Braidwood, in the
midst of the residence of people Of half g
dozen nationalities and many negroes
Therefore Father Mcclure thought it pru.
dent TO keep a revolver at hand in his bed
room. Such are the facts in the case. Null
downey lies very low, but hopes are enter
tanned tonight by DR.. Cook, of Chicago,
that the patient will survive his injuries.

THE Boston Iravel!er, in abiding to al
legged frauds in the Congressional elections,
says:
The duty of Republicans, however, il clear.
Wherever there has been fraud or intimidation,
candidates should make contest. Evidence
should be taken. The evidence should be
spread before the country. Reports should be
prepared, speeches should be made, and the
ation should be awakened to the enormity of
the crime against free institutions, and to the
danger of permitting it to pass without re-
buke.
The advice is good, and will be adopted in
the Third Minnesota district to the letter.
It is the intention of honest Republicans and
all Democrats to make fraud and intimida-
ton SO odious that it will never dare to raise
its head again.

HELP THE BOYS.
An Appeal from the Young Mems Christian
Association.

=
Association.
The Young Mems Christian association Of
this city have been for some time maturing
plan to help the boys of this city, about
whom SO frequent complaint is heard, and
who, while they are not unlike other boys in
other cities and boys in general, need some
influence thrown around them to prevent
their spending their time in such way as to
end IN their becoming nuisance to both
themselves and society.
These plans are sufficiently advanced and
the support met with has been liberal enough
to warrant the fitting up of basement room
25xlGO feet in the Odd Fellows building.
The walls have been plastered and whitened,
gas put in and suitable provision made for
heating, and it is proposed to inaugurate the
movement by free entertainment next
Tuesday evening, to which all boys between
the ages of and 16 will be cordially well
coined. A magic lantern IS to furnish the
principal attraction for that evening.
These entertainments are to be given fire.
quently, probably every week; and of course
it is hoped in time to combine the useful and
civiizing with what at first will be merely
amusing.
On other evenings the room is to be opened,
heated and lighted for the use of the boys,
and it is on this line of the work that the
appeal is made. The committee having the
work in charge ask for
First-Scrap books. These can be made
by almost any one, all that is needed being
some old illustrated papers or magazines
from which to clip pictures, and old patent
office or other large useless volumes in which
to paste them, bottle of paste and pair of
scissors.
Second-They want illustrated papers and
books suitable for the boys. These need not
be new or of late dates.
Third-Pictures for the walls.
Fourth-Chequer boards and men, domi-
noes, and other games such as boys enjoy.
These and any other things that may oc-
cur to those disposed to aid the work that
will help to make the room attractive, are
earnestly solicited of the public, and any
contributions may be sent to either Of the
below named committee, or to the general
secretary, at the rooms of the association.

A PRISON INCIDENT.

1U0rse Rose Anto7ag the Criminals.
A very remarkable scene was presented in
Auburn prison at an early hour on Tuesday
evening, when Marie Roze Mapleson, the
well known prima donna, visited the institu-
ton and sang in the presence of nearly all
of its inmates, embracing upwards of twelve
hundred conyicts. An incident of this char
acter has occurred but once before, and that
was on the occasion of the visit of Jenny
Lind. A letter from one OF the gentlemen
present depicts the scene as extremely touch
ing. On the arrival of Marie Roze she de-
sired to know if all of the prisoners were
present, and being answered III the negative
by Keeper Wells she requested that even
those who might be in solitary confinement
should, as special privilege, be permitted
to come into the chapel and join the other
proposed to sing. The request was accorded,
and the poor fellows, some of them for the
first time in many years, were permitted not
only to look once moro on the face of a
beautiful woman, but hear again from an ac-
complished artist the sweet notes that re-
minded them of the innocent days of youth
The chief selections of Mme. Roze were
ssSweet Spirit Hear my Prayer and the
''Sweet BY and By" and the writer of the
letter states that even the most hardened
criminals were stirred to tears. After this
the fair cantatrice made tour of the institu-
ton, the prisoners meanwhile being retained
in the chapel, and on her return she sang
the old familiar air "Comin' Thro' the Rye
Meanwhile some of the most intelligent
among the convicts had been permitted to
prepare testimonial of thanks, which was
duly signed and presented to the lady. It
closed with the following quotation
God sent his singers upon earth
With songs of sadness and of niirth,
That they might touch the hearts of men
And bring them back to heaven again
There can be little doubt that every one
or these twelve hundred prisoners worked
with cheerier hearts all that day, and that
the poor fellows in solitary confinement
especially will for long time recall and enjoy
this fresh ray of sunlight.
