Death OF Hon. Caleb Cushing.

Hon. Caleb Cushing died on the night of

as member of Congress FROM Massachusetts
four terms, from 1885 to 1S43; was appointed

try he executed a treaty, the first concluded

The Prime of Life.

Between the age of f~orty-fve and
sixty a man who has properly regulated
himself may be considered in the prime
of life. His matured strength of con-
stitution renders him almost impervious
to an attack of disease, and experience
has given soundness to his judgement.
His mind is ~resolute, firm and equal; all
his functions are in the highest order;
he assumes mastery over his business;
builds up a competence on the founda-
ton he has laid in early manhood, and
passes through a period of life attended
by many qualifications. Having gone a
year or two over sixty, he arrives at a
stand-still. But athwart this is the via
duct called the turn of life, which, if
crossed in safety, leads to the valley of
sold age" round which the river winds,
and then beyond. without boat or cause
way, to effect his passage. The bridge
is, however, constructed of fragile
material, and it depends how it is trod-
den whether it bend or break. Gout
and apoplexy are also in the vicinity to
waylay the traveller, and thrust him
from the pass; but let him grid up his
loins and provide himself with a filter
staff, and he may trudge on in safety
and perfect composure. To quit meta
phor, the turn of life is a turn either
into a prolonged walk or into a grave.
The system and powers having reached
the utmost expansion now begin either
to close like a flower at sunset or break
down at once One injudicious stimu'
liant, a single fatal excitement, may
force it beyond its strength, while 8
careful supply of props and the with
drawal of all that tends to force a plan
will sustain it in beauty and vigor unit
night has entirely set in.

Tragedy AZ oaktown, Ind.

Three burglars had made arrangements to
rob the store of Watts Bond, at Oaktown,
Ind, but one of their number turned in
former, and on the night set for the bur-
glary a Vigilance Committee of the citizens
formed a watch, and prepared to arrest the
criminals. 1t was after ten o'clock, on a
bitterly cold night, when the three burglars,
almost frozen with the walk and long ex-
posure, entered the village, where vigilance
appeared to be lulled to sleep. They adj
iusted some kind of masks on their faces,
and before going to Bonds store, which
was the objective point, proceeded to a
saloon kept by John Madding, near Bonds.
The intention of the burglars was to get
into the saloon and warm themselves
with whisky before attending to
the important business of the night
While they went in the saloon a
hundred eyes watched them from the covert.
and no sooner had they passed in than the
Vigilantes swarmed out from the stores into
the street and raised a cry. As they heard
the excitement and recognized that they
were discovered, the burglars fled to the
door. johnson fingered, while his com
panions, without hesitation, and, obeyine
the first law of nature, broke to the door
with pistols drawn. The two dashed Out
together, and SO soon as they emerged into
the moonlight the Vigilantes, who were
waiting, opened fire. One of the burglars
named Williams, was instantly killed, and
another named Carney, after firing at the
mob, ran for some distance, when he was
severely wounded by a shot and captured
One of the Vigilantes, Harry Newton, wal
shot in the cheek.

Grains of Gold.

Attention tosmall things is tine econ

Men may bend to virtue, but virtue
cannot bend to men.
The doer of a secret sin supposes it is

They who have true light in them

Grumbling is bad trade, and yields

Those days are lost in which we do no
good. Those worse than lost in which

Safety lies only in keeping quite
clear of any approach to what you know
to be doubtful.
Self-denial is the most exalted pleas.

most glorious triumph.
Despise not advice, though even OF
the meanest. The Cabling of geese

When the million applaud you, seri

Beware of p~rejudices; they are like
rats, and mems m nds are like traps
Prejudices creep in easily, but it i
doubtful if they ever get out.
Ba hfulness is more frequently con

The Potter COMMITTEES.

At a session of the Potter Committee in
New Orleans on the LIST of January, Mr..
John Ray, counsel for Secretary Sherman,
filed a communication setting forth that he
had no intention of offering further evil
dence on the subject of intimidation in the
elections Of 1876.
Ex-Governor Michael Hahn was exam
amined, and corroborated the statement of
ex-Secretary of State Deslonde, to the effect
that blank commissions of appointment for
Supervisors of Registration and Clerks had
been furnished to George E. Smith for use
in the Fourth Congressional District. Hahn
at the time was State Register of Voters.
Witness testified that while superintendent
of the mint here, he appointed Thomas D.
jerks to a position. The only recommends
ton jerks had was a verbal one, and wit
ness declined to tell the name of the gen.
tleman making the recommendation.
Chairman Potter then announced that in.
asmuch as several witnesses wanted by the
committee were in Washington, the com.
mittee would adjourn, to meet in that city
oil the following Tuesday. In the mean.
time, Mr.. John Ray, representative Of Mr.,
Sherman, and another gentleman, to be Sc
lected by the Chairman, would remain in
New Orleans and take whatever testimony
might be offered in rebuttal of the evidence
already taken by the committee. The COM
mittee then adjourned.

Unknown parties murdered a negro
named Frank Samuels and placed the body
across the railroad track near Douglas, ten
miles west of Palestine. The Coroner's
verdict was to that effect.
John Clarkson, while intoxicated, was
run over and killed by a switch engine in
the train.yard at Palestine. His head was
entirely cut off by the wheels.
A distressing and fatal accident has &C.
Cured in the swamps of Clear Fork, near
Fort Worth. A young man named Black,
recently from Kentucky, with his father,
brother and brother-in-law, Frank Ruston,
vent hunting deer in the swamp. In the
thick bushes Black caught a glimpse OF
Ruston's white shirt, and, thinking it a
deer, raised a Remington and fred. Ruston
fell fatally wounded, and died the same
evening.
A desperate named William MeIver was
shot and instantly killed in a ten-pin alley
at jacksonville. He had drawn a knife
and stabbed a farmer, and was about max.
ing a fatal thrust, when a brother of the
farmer drew a p%istol.and shot McIver, who
fell over dead.
James Ormand, formerly a boarding
house keeper in Palestine, while getting of
the baggage car at Jacksonville, fell be
tween the cars and was run over by the
engine and.killed. The body was carried to
Palestine.

FIr.t nu.lne.. Day Of resumption.

Resumption made no perceptible differ
ence in money movement generally. The
only change was the suspension of the pay
ments OF interest in gold at the Sub-Treas
ury. 1t was regarded as rather strange that
the day. of resumption should be the day
of suspension of gold payments which have
been made at the various custom-houses
since the government began to make war
loans. Some dissatisfaction was expressed
in a few cities at the refusal to pay the
coupons in gold. But the National
Banks, although greeenbacks are
legal-tender for r%edeeming their notes
and paying checks, had acted OIL the idea
hat something was expected of them to
aid resumption, and they redeemed the
coupons in gold for their customers, and
freely offered gold to them on checks and
for notes. As greenbacks were receivable
fer customs, under Secretary Sherman's
| construction of the law, there was little
demand for coin for them. Some persons
got coin from the banks for the novelty of
the thing, but the whole movement of coin
was insignificant.

An Accumulated ,possum.


An Arkansas paper tells a remarkable
story about a skillful system of small
peculation which was recently carried
on at Little Rock by a negro porter in
that city, who was employed by another
colored mar who had set up in business
for himself. The storekeeper constantly
missed money, but could not account
for its disappearance, and at last in
augurated the practice of searching his
porter whenever the latter left the store.
All was of no avail, however, and the
suspected man, accompanied by a tame
female 'possum, which always accom-
panied him wherever he went, came and
departed as was his wont-and the
money departed too. One day the
'possum made an effort to follow her
master out, but could not stir. The
employer, who went to take her up,
found that she was suspiciously heavy,
and turning her upside down, a hat full
of nickeis and pennies fell to the floor
from her pouch. The porter had thus
loaded her every day, but for once had
made a mistake and given her more
than she could carry.
