Music in Half an Hour.

Not long ago a burly countryman,
standing six feet in his hobnails, called
at the house of teacher of music, liv-
ing within 100 miles of Taunton Mar
ket. In answer to his rather powerful
knock, the door was opened and his
business inquired into.
81 see by this here brass thing that
the lady teaches music" he said, in a
tone which implied some doubt on the
subject.
He was told his surmises were beyond
question.
"Then what l want is just to take a
lesson on the piano." he replied; but,
fearful of hastily committing himself to
a commercial speculation, he added,
cautiously y
"Is her dear in charges!"
He was referred for information to
the lady herself, and was requested to
wait while his object was reported.
"Stop bit,' he said, with evident
mistrust of his resources, "you see it is
just like this; l sings in the choir at our
church., anu uOu kuOW HO luuelC llho
the rest of 'em butt be come down for
training in the militia, and | thought
as how I'd have half hour with the
lady at the piano, SO as to know as much
as t'others when get home"
"You don't expect to learn the piano
in half an hour, do you?" exclaimed the
servant who had answered the door.
"Why, the young ladies who come here
are playing from morning to night, and
they come all the year round, and then
they can't play, all of them"
The country chorister opened his eyes.
"You don't mean that?" he gasped.
"All the year round from morning to
night! What heap O. money it must
cost, to be sure! dom think I'll trouble
the lady. Only to think, strumming on
a piano from morning till night, all the
year round! Well, well "-and pulling
himself together, the musical militia
man went off in fit of profound ab-
straction. -Idtnt0n (Enq. Courier.

Swerved violently, threw its fore-feet
into the air, and brought the vehicle to
the very edge of the bridge. Brough-
ton jerked out an oath, pulled the near
er rein, and once more brought the lash
down on the horses fanks. In a mo-
ment tue Strident cry of fear escaped
him. Ouce more the horse reared,
dragging the vehicle half over the dizzy
edge, and then leaped right over.
Ralph came up just in time to see the
terrible accident, and was breasting the
cold waters of the Allegheny in few
minutes, determined to save the woman
he loved, or to die in the attempt.
Well, to make long story short, he
saved her and married her. In falling,
Broughton's head came in contact with
the sleigh, and he was picked up, dead
as herring, three days after When
Ike Marblehead died, four years after
Alice's marriage, a sealed manuscript,
in accordance with his will, was hand
ed to her, and she was Mortified to dis
cover THAT he was the murderer of her
father, John Geary, whom he had rob
bed of a large quantity of gold; and
that, unable to part with the ill-gotten
wealth, he had sought out Geary's
widow, who was just on the point of
death, adopted her child, and had hop
ed to cheat his conscience by treating
her kindly. Discovered by man who
was aware of his guilt, Marblehead had
given him the slip, settling and succeed
ing in Pittsburg, where, when her edu-
cation was completed, Alice, whom he
had taught to regard him as her uncle,
also came to reside. The rest has been
told.

IKE MARBLEHEAD'S SECRET.

Old Ike Marblehead, who lived iii
Pittsburg many years ago, was close
man every way, keeping his money, his
opinions and his affairs all to himself.
There was an atmosphere of mystery
surrounding him, like a London fog,
and his neighbors, worthy people, were
very anxious to see through it. His
career in Pittsburg as storekeeper had
been profitable and without reproach,
but his friends, conscientiously micro
seopic as all friends are in their judg-
ment of one another, discovering no
stain on his character, were reasonably

Christ's Second Coming.

DR.. Tying, of New York, said in re-
ply to Sun reporter, who interviewed
him regarding the approaching Pre-mil-
lennial Convocation in that city:
"The whole question rests on the
principle of Interpretation of the Bible
If interpreted according to the laws of
language, it means one thing; if taken
in an esoteric sense, another. If inter-
preted in the latter sense, then Brigham
Young and the Pope have just as much
ground for their doctrines as the Prot,
estants. Said little girl to her moth
er: Mamma, if God didn't mean what
he says, why didn't he say what he
meantP' That's the whole question.
The post-millennialist, for instance,
says that when in Matthew the coming
of the Son of Man is spoken of, it means
the coming of Titus and the Roman
army. We think it means what it says.
Again, take the correspondence between
the prophecies and the literal life of our
Lord. The post-millennialist will not
deny that the prophecies were fulfilled
in the life. The birth, crucifxion, burial,
resurrection, and ascension were all
prophesied, and the prophecies fulfilled.
Is it not sense to believe that the prophe-
cies concerning His second coming will
be in like manner fulflled?"
"A young lady of Goa, in Portuguese
India, has adopted novel way to pro-
cure husband. She has posted at the
Municipal Chamber at Margaum an an
nouncement that young lady of 1S
years, of pretty good appearance, and
having an annual income of 1900
xerafns, wishes to marry man under
80 years of age who can command 1000
xera6ns yearly income; in addition, he
should understand the English and Por-
tuguese languages and the metrical sys-
tenn of accounts. On the 25th instant
she would pass at noon through the
public streets of Margaum with green
umbrella and handkerchief of the same
color in her left hand, after which she
would receive suitors with their pro-
posals, and choose one from them pos
sessing the stipulated qualifications.

A Ioke on Butler.


The Juniata "Sentinel' tells the follow
ing incident, showing how General Ben
Butler was once captured by his own men,
who were soldiers from Perry county
David Hoffman, living in this borough,
tells how Gen. b. f. Butler was caught by
an order that he issued while in command
of his army operating against Richmond,
va He says that on the evening of cold
day, when he was put at the head of
squad of men, as corporal, they were
ordered net to have fires, and we're particu-
larly ordered to capture and hold till day
light any single, or troop of horsemen that
might make their appearance near the
line. The night was cold, and the men
suffered at the outpost stations for want
of fire. Suddenly, some time in the night,
the guard challenged a troop of horsemen
that attempted to cross the line, near the
station, and the whole force, consisting of
nine men were ordered out to cover the
horsemen, while the commander was Or
dered to dsmount and surrender his arms,
as we'll as the arms of all his company
The General protested and declared him
self to be the General in command ; but
Hoffman and his fellow-solders were firm,
and the General and the eight other officers
dismounted and surrundered their accou-
trements. The guard would not believe
that they had General Butler prisoner
The prisoners asked for the Sergeant of the
station and when he appeared in the per-
son of Sergeant Daniel Ritter, of Perry
county, Pa, he was requested to carry
note to the Captain of the picket line,
Captain g. G. Palm also from Perry coun-
ty, this State. The note was sent, asking
that General Butler be released from the
at Station so and so but the Captain, on
account of an order to hold all captives that
might be taken on horseback, or for fear
that the captives might be captured
rebels, returned the note to the station
with the order that the prisoners be held
till daylight, and that they be allowed to
build no fires. So they were held. They
attempted several times to build fire to
warm themselves by, but at every such at.
tempt the fire was extinguished and at
last close guard was set around them, and
they were kept in the cold till daylight,
when indeed the truth was made clear that
General B. F. Butler and portion of his
staff were prisoners in the hands of the
Generals own soldiers.
Butler never was in tighter place than
on that night. He promoted Palm, who
was then captain in the 20Sth Pa. Vols.
Ritter, Hoffman, and Mr.. Newcomer, of
East Waterford, this county, were in the
same regiment. Hoffman declares that
Butler was caught in his own trap seeker
than any catch he ever saw.

A Mystery.

PATERSON, N. j., August 12.-About 10
o'clock last night a freight train on the
Erie railroad ran over the body of Bar
tholomew McGrail, near the Passaic bridge
McGraiPs head was nearly severed from
his body. But from the fact that the body
was then cold, and also that no blood flow
ed from the wound, and various other cir
cumstances tending to show that the body
had been brought and to and placed upon
the track, it is thought to be case of
murder. The tracks of a wagon were dis
covered up to within short distance of
the railroad track, and marks as of body
which had been thrown therefrom and
afterwards dragged to the position where
McGrail was found.

THE TIMES, NEW iBLooMF1E1.p, PAy4UGusE 20. 1873

tB- The trial of n young Irish noble
man, Sir Capei Fitzgerald, in London
court for stealing a400 worth Of diamonds
from his mistress, is worthy of note as be-
ing the conclusion of an anathema pro-
nounced upon his family many years ago.
His grandmother was the first baronet of
the name, and was so created for the bloody
part he took In the horrors which followed
the Irish insurrection of '9S. He was
known as Hanging Fitzgerald" He
stalked through the country, shooting,
hanging, fogging men, women and chill
dren whom he chose to suspect of dis
loyalty" One day an old woman actually
knelt in the blood of her two sons, whom
Magistrate" Fitzgerald had shot dead at
their own door, and lifting her hands to
heaven cursed him to the third generation,
and prophesied death of disgrace to all
his race. Twenty-Five years later the OBJ
ject of this malediction died by his
own hand ten years ago his son cut
his throat the young baronet now in
prison is the last of the line.

GS- Last month while Solmon Garner, a
farmer living four miles east of Green
castle, Putnam county, Indiana, was mow-
ing in an unplowed meadow, he suddenly
noticed his horses and machine sink into
the earth. Assistance was called. ltcame,
and he unhitched the horses and removed
the mower and one horse. The other horse
sank into the earth twenty feet. The sound
as of running water was heard. The earth
fell in covering the horse from sight.
