The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1878-09-13

600 he had formerly made in the timber
business, and she did not think there
would be anything left for the mantle
nance of the family. About three weeks
ago he went to Boston and entered into
contracts for pianos and other mauufact-
ured articles to the extent of more
than 100000. His friends went on to
Boston, cancelled his contracts, paid
his hotel bill and brought him home.
It appeared that Mr.. Grants monomania
is Of long standing, and the President
at one time consulted o distinguished
physician to have him ascertain and re-
port on his brothers mental condition.
It was not thought necessary at that
time to place him under restraint. DR..
Morton sad the patients mind had been
some time affected, but the family had
hesitated to send him to the asylum,
and had tried every means to keep him
at home. DIR. Morton defines the dis
ease as a monOmania for commercial op-
eratiOns, but ventures no opinion as to
his ultimate recovery. York 2rib-

Oryille Grant,s Insanity.

Orville d. Grant, brother of express
ident Grant, whose insanity has been a
familiar fact in private circles for some
time, was removed from the detention
room in the quaint old jall at Elizabeth,
N. j., to the insane asylum at Morris
Plains, this morning. Mrs. Grant,
mother of Orville and the ex-President,
was found at the elegant residence of
the Corbins, and spoke frankly of her
sons monomania. She said Orville had
been trouble to the family for some
time. If he could have been persuaded
to remain quietly at home no resti Amt
would have been put upon his actions,
for he was kind husband and kind
father, and there was no apprehension
his mania would take violent turn.
His insanity consisted in q monomania
for immense transactions without any
capital, and il he could not obtain the
money for his travelling expenses any
other way he would borrow it. Besides,
his mind was 30 unsteady they did not
like to trust him on long journeys
alone. Last fall he went to California
to attend to what he called large milling
interests, and to push the fortunes of
an invention for cleaning wheat, from
which he expected great things. He
returned In June, and, since then, his
mania has been worse than ever. OF
course he did not bring back the antici-
pated fortune. On the contrary, he had
spent or invested in unremunerative en-
terprises nearly or quite all of the $50

The Duke of Wellington.

He understood very little, if anything,
of the questions of state policy beyond
the immediate field of his own personal
responsibilities and duties. OF political
economy he was supremely ignorant,
yet his strong common sense enabled
him at last to recognize some of its
fundamental truths. His speeches on
economical subjects TEEN with puerili-
ties and absurdities, without ingenuity
in conception or in expression. OF The
ends and objects of government he had
formed no philosophical estimate, nor
dreamed that authority had any other
duty or function than to cause itself to
be respected and obeyed. The people
are althogether cipher in his eyes, ex-
cept as grouped round the sovereignty.
ALI his sympathies were with rulers,
whatever was tn echaracter of their rule,
and he cared nothing for subjects, what
ever might be the nature of the subjec-
ton. But, when dangers MANAGED the
ruling few "from the action of the serv-
ing many" he had the sagacity to dis
Germ that those dangers justified and
demanded concessions. Sir John BoD-
ring.

The Exchange Fiend.

The Exchange Fiend, after an absence
of two weeks in the country, where he
lived off his lame and widowed aunt,
came into this Office yesterday, and
proceeded to take possession of our
choicest exchanges, with his old-time
familiarity.
"I've been out in the country" he
said, "for, it seeTs to me, at least six
months, amt haven't seen a paper, ex-
cepting the Christian Monitor or the
Saints Rest, since I've been away. 1
want to read up this awful yellow-fever
scourge which If depopulating the
Southern cities. It's the most terrible
thing ever heard of, and 1 can hardly
wait until 1 get hold of New York pa
per to read about it..
"Here's the New Orleans Times"
replied the exchange editor, drawing a
copy of that paper from the pile before
him; "it hasn't had anything in it for
three weeks but Yellow Fever, Yellow
Jack, Saffron Scourge, Bronze John, the
Carnival of Death
"Merciful heaven p exclaimed the
Fiend, throwing no his hands in horror,
and retreating to the center of the room.
"Why, that paper is printed right in
the heart of the infected district, and
there is nothing in the wide would that
will carry disease through the country
like newspaper. 1 Wouldn't touch it
for half of Oil City"
Beg pardon" said the editor, toss
ing the paper in the direction of the
Fiend, from which that individual leaped
as from snake about to strike; "beg
pardon; here is yesterdays Memphis
Avalanche, damp from the press, with
the smell of the bayous still upon it;
sixty deaths occurred there the day be-
fore its publication, and it will give you
elaborate details
"Take it away, take it away - yelled
the Fiend, retreating to the door, breath
ing hard, and looking like q man with
the horrors; "please throw me over
New York or Boston paper, and I'll read
it at home"
"For real information" continued the
editor, unmoved, 81 would recommend
this little paper; it's editor and pressman
died of the disease day before yesterday,
and two reporters and seven printers
are now down with it" and the young
man twisted the paper into ball and
hit the Fiend in the face with it, re-
marking, cts the Grenada Sun, and
hasn't blessed thing in it but yellow
fever and ads"
Before the editor had finished the
Exchange Fiend uttered a shrek like
lost soul, turned a back handspring out of
the door, and disappeared down the
stairway, seven steps at a jump.-OH

following him. There il no love be-
tween this woman and /, though we are
man and wife. DR.. Bullock, for Gods
sake, implore you to tell me +"
The doctor turned and told Isaac
Davis all, and, when he had finished,
the husband started back with an oath.
"I'll hand the guilty woman over to
the law I'll see her hang " he cried.
"She lied me into marriage, and Ill
push her up the gallows stepsl"
The farmer was excited beyond con-
troll, and when he looked upon the white
face upturned to his he uttered q cry
of horror. There was something awful
about it.
Bullock, attracted by the cry, sprung
forward as Davis dropped his wife upon
the ground.
He saw the cause of the farmers hor-
ror-the woman was dead.
Two white-faced men went silently up
the lane that night, and entered the
farm house. One laid dead woman on
the bed, and together the twain went
over the house like specters.
In secret place they found the miss
ing jewels of Hattie Robson, and sew
eral articles of her late wearing apparel.
"She did it, doctor I" the farmer said.
ct know it now. She was absent for
four hours on the night of the 25th of
April. She said she was at Weddell's,
and from the evening of the Goth until
the morning of the day of the finding of
the widows body she was absent again.
She thought I liked the widow, and
often heard her say that Hattie's pretty
face would get spoiled some of these
times. My wife and Hattie were alike
in build their clothes would fit each
other. What do you think, doctora"
Bullock merely said:
81 think we know who MIXED the
cows"
Though the mystery was never posi-.
lively settled, it was generally believed
that Mrs. Davis in fit of jealous rage
had taken the life of Hattie Robson, anG
had even dwelt in the house with the
corpse for several hours, impersonatine
her victim in order to create dissensior
and cover her own trail.
But her eagerness to shut Doctor Bull
locks mouth had led to her detection
and sudden death. Isaac Davis sold hi
farm, and plunged into the wilds of tn,
West, where he took unto himself an
; other wife.
Bullock, proud of his bit of detectiv,
experience, relinquished the practice O
medicine and took to hunting criminal
with marked success; but he fell at las
in the discharge CT his duty-shot by
man whom he was attempting to arrest
have thus told the story of the Hat
tie Robson case, as 1 heard it from tn,
lips of an old man in the little cemeter,
where repose the murderess and her vic
tim.

The following exquisite poem. by wnnsm NV ~
Pal mer, some years ago pronounced py one ~
the most eminent Of European critics 70 % ~, sns
nn est production OF the same length In our iAn-
gu age.)
y rom the auickened womb of the primal gloom,
The sun rolled black and bare.
T IN wove him vest for his Ethiop breast
OF the threads Of my golden hair
And When the broad tent of the armament
Arose ON its airy spars, -,
pencled the hue OF Its mAtcniess ptue
And spangied It round with stars.
painted the flowers OF the Eden bowers,
And their leaves Of living green,
And mine were the dyes la the siniess eyes
OF Ecen's virgin queen -.
And when the fiends art In the trusu d near'
Had fastened its mortal speu,
In the silvery sphere of the frst-born tear
To the trembling earth fell.
When the waves that hsIrst DER q world accursed
Their work of wrath had sped,
And the ark's lone few, tried and true,
Came forth among the dead,
With the wondrous CLEANS Of the bridal beams
bid their terrors cease,
As wrote ON the roll OF the storms DARK scroh
Gods covenant OF peace.
Like pail at rest on a senseless breast,
Nights funeral shadow slept
where shepherd SWANS on Bethiehems plains,
Their lonely vigils kept;
When flashed ON their sight the heralds bright
OF heavens redeeming plan,
As they chanted the morn of Savior born
Joy, JOY to the outcast man.
Esual favor show to the lofty and low,
ON the just and unjust descend;
Fen the blind. whose vain spheres roll In darkness
and tears
Feel my smile, the hest smile of friend.
Nav the flower of the waste by my love Is EN-
braced,
As the rose in the garden Of Kings;
At the chry sails bier of the worm appear,
And 10 the gay butterhy's wings.
The desolate morn, like mourner forlorn,
Conceals all the pride of her charms,
Till bid the bright hours chase the night from he
flowers,
And lead the young day to her arms;
And when the gay rover seeks eve for his lover,
And sinks to a bamy repose,
wrap the soft rest by the zephyr-fanned west,
In curtains of amber and rose.
From my sentinel steep, by the night-broode
deep,
gaze with unslumbering eye,
When the cynosure star of the mariner
Ii blotted out from the sky;
And guided by me through the merciless sea,
Though sped by the hurricanes wings,
His compassionless, dark lone, weltering bark
To the haven home safely he brings.
I waken the flowers in the dew-spangled bowers,
The birds IN their chambers Of green,
And mountains and plain glow with beauty agar
As they bask in their matinal sheen.
Oh IL such the glad worth of thy presence to eartl
Though fitful and neeting the WHILE
What glories must rest on the home of the best,
Ever bright with Deity's smile.

Prairie Dogs.

1t has always been a subject of Gu
riosity and inquiry as to how and where
prairie dogs, living on the prairie far
away from any river or stream, obtain
their water. Mr.. F. Lcech, formerly of
Mercer county, Pa, and frontiersman
of experience, asserts that the dogs dig
their own wells, each village having one
with a concealed opening. It matters
not how far down the water may be, the
dogs will keep on digging until they
reach it. He knows of one such well
200 feet deep, and having circular
staircase leading down to the water.
Every time a dog wants drink he de-
sends the staircase, which, considering
the distance, is no mean task. In Dig
ging for water the animals display as
much pluck as in resisting the efforts of
settlers to expel them from the land of
their progenitors.

A Child Fratricide.

East Cambridge, Mass, furnishes an
other instance of youthful prococity in
crime. Johnny Lane, ID years old,
stabbed and killed his brother Timothy,
a lad of Is. Toe boys, the sons of a
blacksmith, had purchased rabbit, and
were amusing themselves with it when
the fatal quarrel occurred. Two carpen-
ters, at work on a nelghboring house,
observed the elder boy sink down close
to the fence, back of which the rabbits
box was. His face was dreadfully pale,
and black-clotted blood was oozing from
his breast and running over his scanty
clothing. In answer to the shouted in
quiry of the carpenters, the wounded
boy replied that his brother had stabbed
him. The youthful murderer had in the
meantime run away. The victim was
Immediately visited by the carpenters,
who had raised him in their arms to
carry him into the house, when he vom-
tied, and Immediately afterward expired.
The tragedy was soon known throughout
the neighborhood, and hundreds of curl
GUS spectators thronged around the body
as it lay upon the grass awaiting the ar
rival of the medical examiner. The
youthful murderer was tracked by the
police to Boston, and was arrested in the
house of an aunt, where he had taken
refuge.

A Boy of sixteen Kills His Neither.

Hiram Pixley, aged about 16, recently
shot and instantly killed his mother, at
her residence, near fuckers Corners,
N. Y. Mrs. Pixley lost her husband dur
ing the war, and was left with this son,
Hiram. She had sister who, a few
years ago, married M. j. Bower, and
they have lived in common at the place
above named. The neighbors have wit
messed many bloody fights between the
two sisters, the meek man Bower and
this boy Hiram now and then taking a
hand in. 1t appears that the women
were engaged In one of their spasmodic
fights, and this boy got his shots gun
and told his mother if che didn't dry up
he would shoot her, and, after a few
more words, he lifted the gun and shot
her through the breast, and she died in
stantly. He had threatened to shoot
her many times.

BAD BOYS.

A Little hoy of six Beaten Almost to
Death by % Lad of Nine Years.
A most horrible affair lately occurred
at Squirrel Island, favorite summer
resort near Augusta, Me-, the following
particulars of which we CLEAN from the
Boston Globe: at seems that the
other day a little 6-year-old boy, j.
Howard Butterfeld, son of Henry r.
Butterfeld, of Waterville, who is stop
ping at the island, in company with
quite number of other boys, the most
of whom were older than himself. were
playing in the water. They were throw
ing stones into the water to notice the
effect of the splashing made. A stone
thrown by the Butterfield boy happened
to splash water upon boy 9 years old,
who became angered, apparently, and
told Butterfield if he caught him he
would give him licking The
threat was carried out with terrible
vengeance. On Saturday morning How
ard Butterfeld was missing; his mother
became alarmed, called loudly for him,
but there was no response. Finally a
search was instituted, and, after some
time, the little fellow was found in the
water-closet in the rear of the bowling
alley. His clothing was stripped from
him, his body was covered with blood,
and the poor child was nearly dead. He
was tenderly taken up and carried to
the house, and, after being partially
restored, was able to tell something
concerning the transaction. Coaxed and
questioned, he said, in substance, that the
boy to whom reference has been made
induced him to go to walk with him,
promising to give him some candy. He
consented, and, as they were passing
the bowling alley, the boy seized But
terfeld and dragged him into the water
closet. He then forced him to undress,
assisting him at the same time to strip
every particle of CLOTHING from his little
body, threatening to kill him if he
screamed. He then beat him with a
stick and kicked him violently in the
stomach. The boy heard his mother
calling him, but dared not respond for
fear of still harsher treatment. The
body of the boy was badly bruised, and
the marks of the kicks were plainly visi-
bic on the bowels, and it is feared that
he will not live."
