CORRECT SPEAKING.

We advise all young people to acquire
in early life the habit of using good Ian.
guage, both in speaking and writing, and
also to abandon the use of slang words
and phrases. The longer they live the
more difficult the acquisition of good
Language will be; and if the golden age
of youth, the proper time of the acquie
sition of language, be passed in its abuse.
the unfortunate victim of neglected edu~
cation is very probably doomed TO talk
slang for life. Money is not necessary
to procure this education. Every man
has it in his power. He has merely to
use the language which he reads, instead
OF the slang which he hears; to form his
taste from the best speakers and poets of
the country; to treasure up choice phrases
in his memory, and habituate himself to
their use, avoiding at the same time that
pedantic precision and bombast, which
show rather the weakness Of vain ambie
ton than the polish of an educated mind.

A DEATH.BED CONFESSION.
A Murderer COnGossea to Crime Committed Twen.
ty Years Ago.

A dispatch from Dover, New York,
says; Twenty years ago young man
named Jewell disappeared from the town
of Gambia, in this State, and it was the
belief of those who knew him. and were
aware of the incidents Immediately pre-.
ceding his disappearance, that he was
murdered. Jewell was shoemaker, and
worked at his trade in the town, boarding
in the house of Mr.. Langford. One
cold Saturday night three ofhis acquain.
tances called on him and asked him to
accompany them to the Burbank House,
in the outskirts of the town. They spent
few hours there and INDUCED pretty
freely in drink. The men then asked
Jewell to go with. them to another house
in the vicinity, but he refused and said
he wanted to return to his boarding
house. The proprietor of the Burbank
House stated, before he died, that he Of
fered Jewell room at his house, fearing,
from the angry looks and words of the
men that they meant evil to the young
man. But they forced him out of the
house, and he has never been seen since.
He went bareheaded and without a hat,
and the Burbanks expected him to re.
turn. After few days, when he failed
to put in an appearance, the whole neigh
borhood became aroused, and a vigor.
Gus search was instituted, but it proved
fruitless.
Suspicion naturally fell on the men
who were with him, and close investi-
gaiion was begun, but it was stopped by
a mysterious notification 10 the men en-.
gagged in it that their lives would be taken
if they followed up the case. The gen
eral belief, however, was that these men
murdered Jewell, but not a scrap of eviN
dence could be found to confirm the sus-
picion. And so the mystery grew stale.
The companions of the missing man left
town. and the whole affair passed out of
the thoughts of the towns-people.
Twentyyears passed away without any
solution of the mystery. The people who
were conversant with the facts died, one
by one, and the disappearance Of the
young shoemaker descended into a dim
tradition Last Friday John H. Robinson,
one of the men already suspected, lay on
his death bed, and while suffering mortal
agony he related to friend of his the
whole particulars of the murder,in in which
he declared he took prominently part. He
said that after they left the Burbank House
they carried Jewell into little patch of
pine wood, murdered him with an axe,
took what little money he had about him,
and carried the mangled body to little
pond close by and threw it in. He him
self struck the fatal blow with the axe.
Thus is dark mystery cleared up, and
the adage Murder will out" again veri-
fed The murderer is beyoud the reach
of punishment, however.

EARTH FROM BORNEO.

In the last century a merchant vessel
came into London Docks with yellow
fever, and the Captain was suffering se>
verely from it,and no one would 60 near
the sufferers. DR.. Fothergill. however,
went on board, partly out Of compassion,
and partly from his desire to study a dis
ease which was new to him, and he re-
moved the Captain to his own house,a
finally succeeded in getting him through
the fever. When the captain recovered,
he inquired from the Doctor what he was
in his debt, bur Fothergill refused to re-
ceive any payment. The Captain then
wishing to know how he could compen.
safe him for such kindness, upon which
the Doctor replied there was one thing he
could do for him, ,ifhe was making voy-
age to the East, and would pass through
the Straits of Macassar by Borneo, he
should be glad if be would bring him
back two barrels ful! of earth of Borneo,
which the Captain promisedto do. How
ever, when he reached the spot on his
voyage out, he thought ofthe ridicule he
must experience from his crew in so
strange an undertaking, and his heart
failed him, and he sailed through the
straits without fulfilling hisintention. On
his return by the same route the same
thing happened again through his fear
of the SCOTS of the crew. However, after
he had left the straits 200 or possibly 900
miles behind him, his conscience smote
him with ingratitude and the non, fulfil
ment of his promise, and he put the ships
head about, returned to the spot, and fills
ed the barrels with the earth. On his re-
turn he sent it to DR.. Fothergill, who had
the surface of piece ofground thorough
ly burned and he then sprinkled the Bor,
neo earth on it, when it is known fact
that there came up all kinds of new and
curious plants, said to be 100 different
sorts, some geraniums, and new flowers,
which have subsequently spread through
out the gardens Of England. Land and

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
An Indiana Merchant Attacked by Highwaymen
and Robbed OF $4,000.


and Robbed OF $4,000.
Worthington, Ind, Feb. 5-About a
quarter to nine o'clock last evening Mr..
M. H. Hubbell, stock dealer of this
place, was robbed of SIS 200 while riding
through covered bridge across the Eel
River, about quarter of mile east Of
of this place. Just as he had almost
reached the opposite end of the bridge
two men suddenly confronted him, and
throwing a rope over his head jerked him
from his horse. His foot caught in the
stirrup, but the strap was broken loose,
and Mr.. H. was then at the mercy of the
robbers. They then proceeded to gag
him with piece of a broom stick, fore
ing it into his mouth with such force as
to cause the blood to fDw and loosen
three of his teeth. He was then bound
hand and foot and robbed, as above
stated.
Mr.. Hubbell's horse ran to the livery
stable where he was kept, and in about
ten minutes after, Mr.. H., having succeed
ed in getting one foot loose from the cord
which bound him, ran immediately to
the Osborn House, where the ropes were
cut loose and the gag taken from his
mouth. There is intense excitement iD
town, and the citizens are making every
effort TO capture the highwaymen. Mr..
Hubbell is young man, who, by his
honest dealing, bas won many friends
here, and who are indignant at the out
rage perpetrsted in view Of the town al
most before dark.

THRIFT, ,HORATIO, THRIFT

Piatt's Capital to- day says: The SeCre-
tary of the Treasury is erecting sixty
four dwelling houses on a piece of ground
beyond the Baltimore and Ohio depot.
There is nothing wrong about the houses,
forthe builder attends to them but there
is something peculiar in the history of
Johns acquiring simple interest in the
land, This ground was condemned for
special assessment taxes, the original
owner being too poor to meet the bill.
John was the Chairman of the Finance
Committee of the Senate. He bid in
the property. Since that time, they say,
all assessments of taxes upon it have
been overlooked. 1t was not deemed Of
sufficient value to be taxed. John is now
erecting sixty -four houses, and proposes
to compel Treasury Clerks to rent them,
and he will arrange the rates."

LANGUAGE OF THE7URKS.


The Turks are of Tartar origin, and
their language is Tartar dialect, and
while the language is very regular in its
grammatical construction, it is poor in
words. To remedy this defect the Turks
have drawn from the Arabic and Persian
language, to such an extent, that thor
ough knowledge of the Turkish cannot
be acquired without a knowledge of the
others. The. Turks use the Arabic char
acters, and write, after !he manner ofthe
Jews and Arabians, from right to left.
Like the French in Europe, the Turkish
language is, in greater part of Asia and
on the Northern coast of Africa, the com.
mon medium of communication between
nations speaking different languages.

A RACE WITH DEATH.
The Railroad Ride Of Husband to See His Dying
Wife.
From the Kansas City Times.l

Inc hallrOau hlue OF huhDand 10 nee HIS DYING
Wife.
From the Kansas City Times.l
One of the most remarkable trips on
record has just been made on the Atchi.
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, from
Kansas City to the Rocky Mountains, A
rich gentleman named w. S. Dunn arri-
we'd in this city from the East on Thurs
day morning, on his way to visit his sick
wife at Monitor Springs, Col. On his ar
rival here he received telegram stating
that his wife was at the point Of death,
and that she could not live many hours.
The husband, who was middle-aged
man, evidently merchant seemed to be
much affected by the news, and at once
made inquiries for special train. He
offered a large sum of money for a spec
ial engine to run TO Pueblo ahead of the
regular train, but could not obtain one
here. He took possession of the tele~
graph wires between here and Topeka.
the headquarters of the road and offered
$3.50 for special locomotive to run at
special speed, across the plains. His offer
was accepted and at 3 o'clock on Thurs.
day afternoon the devoted husband start
ed from Topeka on his break-neck err
rand of love and duty. Away went the
locomotive and car, with its solitary but
sorrowing passenger, over the prairies of
Kaw valley, down into the valley of the
Neosho at Emporia, then off again over
the high divide between the Neosho and
the Arkansas valley, which was reached
before night had closed in. Then, after
taking water, the impatient husband and
his tireless iron horse started up the great
Arkansas valley 10 the base of the Rocky
Mountains.
He reached Pueblo, COL, about 7'3o
o'clock on Friday morning, and then,
only waiting for locomotive on the Den
yer and Rio Grande marrow gauge) to
be got ready, started up to Manitou, a
distance Of fifty miles. He reached Mans
itou, at the base of Pixies Peak, in time
TO see his dying wife, and was we'll satis>
fed with the result of his fast trip. The
fastest time made on the route was fifty
miles per hour, the average time about
thirty.five miles, 1t is the fastest time
ever made across the plains from the
Missouri river to the Rocky Mountains.

Mercy Of the COnrt-The Jury Out Less Than ana
HOur--BOss Wells, the Chief KnaYes Turn Next

New Orleans, Feb, 7.-Judge Whitaker
opened court this morning and took a
recess to prepare his charge to the jury.
Before recess, the Court referred to an
article in morning paper which stated
that Wells had said he could give any
amount of bail, but had not made up his
mind yet, the Court stating if this was
true it would raise the bonds up to S2o.N
900 again. The Sheriff was instructed
to see Mr.. Wells about the remark said
to have been indulged in by him.
Governor Wells explains the matter as
follows:
New Orleans, Parish Prison, February
7, I87S.-Mr, H. c. CaStSllaaOS! Dear
ST. have just learned with surprise
that am reported as saying that could
give bail in sum originally fixed, but that
my object in not doing so is for the pur>
pose of forcing the State to trial during
this month. This is not true, and am
not accountable for unauthorized publi-
cationsl have entrusted my case with
you and associates and have been guild.

is impaired, l hope you will continue
your efforts to release me from further

A VERDICT OF GUILTY RENDERED.
At o;3o P. M, Judge Whitaker finished
the reading OF his charge to the jury and
they retired, The court room was cleared
and even the attorneys for the defense
had left, nobody expecting a verdict, al
most everybody believing the result
would be mis-trial.
At 1910 p. NJ, a loud knock came
from the jury room, which was promptly
answered by deputy sheriff who went
at once to the jury room, and returning
quickly startled the Judge, who, with
some gentlemen and the reporters was
in his private office, with the news that
the jury had agreed upon verdict.
The counsel were sent for and Judge
Cullom of the defense having arrived
the court was opened again at Io:4o and
the jury brought down and called. About
forty persons were present.
Judge Whitaker asked the foreman the
usual question when the verdict was CIV
en- to the clerk.
GENERAL ANDERSON WAS DEATHLY PALE
twisting nervously the head of his cane
between his fingers. Then the verdict
was read as follows. New Orleans, 9TH
of February, 1873. We find Thomas c.
Anderson guilty and recommend him to
the mercy of the court
(Sffned. w. P. CONVERSE,
Foreman of the Jury.
The defence asked for the polling OF
the jury Each juror, after his name was
called, was asked, as this your verdict,
guilty, and recommended to the mercy
of the Court?" They all answered in the
affirmative. The jnry was then discharg-
ed and the prisoner remanded to await
the sentence Of the law. A few of Ander.
sons friends at once surrounded him and
saw him off to Jail.
