they would come by balloon. People

who stand around street corners, ex-

all this vast army is going. and where
they will find homes. Lord bless your
ignorant and benighted souls. Do you
suppose for a moment that this count
~ can be measured, or that it can all
be covered by your darkened and de-
fective vision! There are hundreds
and hundreds of miles of as good land
as ever was blessed by the generosity
of the Creator, yet unsettled-lsnd

Sitting around town we are apt to

several hundred miles, every inch of

Terrible Tragedy in Yirginia.

The community in the neighborhood
of Tazevell Court House is in a great
state of excitement over q remarkable
and shocking tragedy that was enacted
last night. In the woods, two miles
from that place, is small frame cottage
occupied for a number of years by Mrs.
Rebecca Baldwin, an old widow lady,
who lived in q state of solitude. It was
generally known that she possessed a
little fortune in the shape of gold coin.
The neighbors have often remarked that
old Aunt Becky, as she was called,
would some night be murdered for her
money, and such has come to pass.
This morning early, friend dropped
in to cal, when sickening sight met
his eye. Mrs. Baldwin lay on the floor,
weltering in blood. Life was almost
gone, but she was still able to speak
In the same room on the floor lay two
dead men who had beer killed, and ly-
ing around were two bloody clubs, a
bloody ak, and bloody knife. The old
lady was able, in broken sentences, to
give the following statement:
Yesterday at noon, three strange men,
whom she supposed to be tramps, called
and asked her to change $40. She COM
piled with the request, and in doing so
she displayed good deal of money. At
night, about 8 o'clock, after she had re-
tired, her door was broken in. and one
of the same party that had been there
during the day rushed in. She jumped
out of her bed, and in her excitement
threw large bag of gold into the fire.
The man stopped to jerk it out, and as
he stopped Mrs. Baldwin, like plucky
heroine seized an ak, which she always
kept at the head of the bed, and let the
robber have blow on the back of the
head, and she did not stop until she had
killed him. Then another man with a
club ran in to the rescue of his comrade,
and the old lady struck him In the head
with the Ak They had quite combat,
but she succeeded in killing him. While
she was administering the last blow, the
third man, who, it is supposed, had been
left outside as guard, rushed in and
stabbed her with a dirk, and, thinking
she was dead, he fed.
Mrs. Baldwin recognized all the rob-
bers as the same tramps that had visited
her to get the money changed. They
had been lurking around the neighbor-
hood several days. The old lady died
this afternoon. - WytheV5tle c Va.) Cor.

A PENNSYLVANIA named Isaac John
son, of the village of Port Penn, has
had, according to the local gazettes, an
eventtul career, and inherited a fortune
after he had lost several and completely
given up the struggle Of life. When a
boy of 10 he stole wash-tub, launched
it upon the Delaware, got into it, foated
down the river into the bay, and was
picked up by bark which carried him
to Vera Cruz. Thence he made his way
to the City of Mexico, where he was
adopted by rich merchant, Don Hidal-
go Hernandez, given liberal education,
and, finally, partnership Having be-
come partisan OF Macmillan, he grew
SO odious to the people that he was OBJ
liged to fly to Texas. At the outset of
the civil war he entered the Confederate
army, serving as aide to Albert Sydney
Johnston. After its cessation, he re-
turned North, went into the manufacture
Of shoes in Philadelphia, and fourished
for awhile, but was eventually ruined
by the dishonesty of his partners.
Broken in spirit and estate, he went
back to his village home to die pauper.
Recently he received notice that proper
ty to the value of $1,000 most of it in
Government bonds, had been left him
by Don Hidalgo, and he is naturally re-
joiced thereat. The moral of this is OBJ.

new inventions than he can attend to.
One party wants him to invent bone

desires a pocket-book that will always

his inventive genius into fight of

MELISSA SMITH, the pretty daughter
of the ighthouse-keeper at Hatteras

coast, recently met sad, strange death.
About to retire, after parting from the
betrothed she was to we'd in few days,
she had thrown open her door to get the

striking the iron steps, down which she
plunged screaming, into the sea, and
was carried out by the surf as her father
came to the door.

Stupid Mother

The stupidity displayed bya mother
in Providence, r. l., is incomprehensi-
BILE. The other evening Mrs. Matthews
sent her little boy to store to get some
milk for her babies. The boy went to
the store, but by mistake returned with
the little pint can full Of kerosene oil.
Mrs. Matthews took the can, and, sup
posing the contents to be milk, gave it
to the babies, who soon drank the pint
of Oil between them. The babies are
twins, only Is months old, and of course
soon began to show signs of sickness.
On picking up the can the frightened
mother discovered her mistake. Hap

should say, prompt appeal to a physi-
clan saved their lives.

IF the English and the Russians in

million; according to the official figures
of Minister Seward Is, 600, 600 are actual
ly in the clutches of famine, while so,
100000 others are suffering more or less
from lack of sufficient food supply. This
is nearly twice the total population OF
the United States rather a big crowd
of people to be starving at one time.
After all travellers have had to say about
the Chinese internal improvement sys-
tenn, it is rather queer to read that this
distress is due rather to lack of trans
portation facilities in the stricken dis
tricts than to a scarcity of food in the
surrounding regions.

them at their old home. A large re-

THE hoax of the Cardiff Giant, accord

was the outgrowth Of heated argument
between George Hull, a Binghamton to-
bacconist, and the Rev. Mr.. Turtle, re-

The clergyman argued that the Bible
gave affirmative proof. Hull retorted
that people were gullble about anything
in support of which scripture could be
quoted, and that idea suggested the
fraud that subsequently became notori.

The terrible sufferings Of Tenth Cav
airy company on the Staked Plain of Tex
as, through thirst, are described by Sur
geon King. They were four days with
out water, and the weather was intensely
hot. Their predicament was caused by
the death of their guide, leaving them
to wander by themselves until spring
was finally found. Their mouths be-
came SO dry that brown sugar would not
melt in them. Their voices grew weak
and strange, and their sight dim, and
when asleep they dreamed of banqueting.
A sense of suffocation was extremely
painful. They drank water greedily,
but it did not quench their thirst-which
shows, the Surgeon thinks, that the
sense of thirst resides not in the stom-
ach, but in the general system, and, in
this case, could not be relieved until the
remote tissues were supplied.

and is to comprise several thousand
guests, reminds one of the most for
nidable repast perhaps ever given. The
persons who sat down to the repast were
1O. 900 in number, all victorious soldiers,
brought back triumphantly to Paris by
Napoleon I. Asno hall large enough to
contain such company could be found,
tables were placed in the Champs Ely
sees, and there were served up twenty
seven oxen, seventy-tve sheep, 1,000
cartridges, $500 fowls, 1 1000 carp, ], 900
tench, etc. To wash down these solids
248 barrels of wine were consumed.

Gently occurred in various settled parts
of Australia, especially Queensland, the
animals being, no doubt, driven from
the interior by the drought and its effects
in search of food. They came in thou
sands, devouring everything in the shape
Of herbs or grain, SO that the sheep and
cattle were often reduced to dry leaves
Tor fodder. The colonists promptly met
the attack, in some places driving the
kangaroos into an Enclosure and shoot
ing them. In one battue more than
1000 kangaroos were killed in four days.
