The suicide of Lieutenant M. Carrow,
of the Seventh cavalry, at the Planters
house, yesterday afternoon, was teles
graphed yesterday in its main details,
but the mystery surrounding the affair
was cleared up somewhat to-day by the
finding among his personal effects Of a
letter written to Ella Sturgis, daughter
Of Lieutenant-C Colonel Sturgis, OF the
United States cavalry, and sister to
Captain Jack Sturgis, who lost his life
with General Custer at the time of the
famous massacre Miss Sturgis had met
Carlow at Fort Lincoln, where she and
the young lieutenant became very
friendly. The general thinking his
daughter and the young lieutenant were
becoming too devoted to each other,
removed her to st. Louis, hoping in this
way to break up friendship which he
deemed unwise. Carrow's pride was
stung, and after nursing his affection for
months, he resolved to come to st. Louis
and settle the moment0us question.
Six weeks ago he arrived there, and at
once plunged into all the destinations Of
the most recherche society. Two weeks
ago he attended German at the house
OF a wealthy resident. He was to lead
in the evening with the young lady he
so psssionately loved. He told friend
OF this before the evening arrived, and
seemed delighted at the thought OF zee.
ing Miss Sturgis. He further stated
that his prospects were never fairer, and
that he believed he was going to be suc-
cessful. The next day he met the same
friend and said that he fattered himself
that the long and anxiously discussed
question had been decided In his favor.
just week after the event above mem
toned Carrow told the same friend tina
he was going to make a final charge, and
I, If ! am repulsed," said he, " il give
up the struggle" The charge was made.
Ii was neither defeat nor victory.
Fila answered " Wait few days and I
will write You letter." It Is sup ,osed
By those who knew the young officer
intimately that he received the fatal
etter yesterday. II was the 6nal land
unfayorable answer. The result Ia we'll
known, ard the mystery Is lifted.

A Virginia "Reminiscences.
oharlottsville va Chronicle.

OhohfostotAftVN est ShtehtOtos
It Is related that while Thomas Mann
Randolph wss governor Of Virginia, he
was arrested within few hundred yards
ef his home in this county, and carried
prisoner to his own house. The story
is to the following effect: The governor
was on a visit to his home, and finding
that the fencing on his plantation was
pulled down and burned by wsgoners
passing along from the valley to Rich
mond, he determined to detect and pun-
ish them. One evening he observed
party go into camp on the roadside, and
after dark he strolled down to point
where he could conveniently watch
them. He stayed out all night, but the
wagoners made no depredations on his
fences. In the early morning, however,
when they were about 10 kindle the fires
10 prepare breakfast, they started out to
gather up what fuel they might find for
that purpose, when they spied man
sitting on the fence short distance
ahead.
Now 1t appears that short time
before, Gov. Randolph had issued his
proclamation, offering reward for the
capture OF an escaped horsethief, and
the wagoners, who had seen the descrip-
tion of the convict, thought they oiscov-
cred close resemblance between the
man on the fence and the escaped felon.
So thoroughly satisfied were they that
they would receive the reward fer his
arrest that they approached and an.
nounced that he was their prisoner.
One of them proposed, as he cracked his
wagon whip, to give him a thrsshing
and then let him go, but his companion
protested that it was proper to ascertain
certainly whether he was the guilty
party before inficting the punishment,
and proposed to take him to the resi-
dence Of Gov. Randolph, which was
near by, and get his advice. Accord
ingly they marched their prisoner up to
the house, and knocking at the front
door, servant made his appearance, of
whom they inquired:
Is your master at homer"
The negro opened his eyes in aston;sh-
ment at the inquiry, and replied, point
ing to the governor:
"That's masterl 70
It is said that the governor then
promptly confirmed the statement of the
servant, and joined heartily in the laugh
that followed. He then told the man
who had proposed to whip him without
the opportunity of defense to remain
outside and he would send him morn
ing dram, at the same time unbuttoning
his coat, exposing pair of horse pistols,
and remarking that he should certainly
have used them had an attempt been
made to carry the threat of castigation
into execution. The other WAGNER
he invited to join him in hot breakfast.

The Fright side.

Look on the bright side. 1t is the
right side. The times may be hard, but
it will make them no easier to wear a
gloomy and sad countenance. 1t is the
sunshine and mot the cloud that gives
beauty to the flower. There is always
before or around us that which should
cheer and fill the heart with warmth
and gladness. The sky il blue ten times
when it is black once. You have troubles
it may be. So have others. None are
free from them, and perhaps it is as well
that none should be.
They give sinew and tome to life, for
titude and courage to man. That would
be dull sea, an the sailor would never
acquire skill, where there ia nothing to
disturb its surface 1t is the duty of
every one to extract all the happiness
and enjoyment he can within and with>
out him; and, above all, he should look
on the bright side. What though things
do look a little dark? The lane will
turn, and the night viii end in broad
day. In the long run the great balance
rights itself. What appears i'll becomes
well-that which appears wrong, right.
Men are not always to hang down their
heads or lips, and those who do only
show that they are departing from the
paths of true common sense and right.
There is more virtue in one sunbeam
than In a whole hemisphere of clouds
and gloom. Therefore, we repeat, look
on the bright side. Cultivate all that is
warm and genial-not cold and repulsive,
the dark and morose.
OF Wisdom and Fores hought I'm Our Ae.
We must not trust every saying or
suggestion, but warily and patiently
ponder things according to the will
God.
Yet, alas, such is our weakness that
we often rather believe and speak evil of
Others than good.
But perfect men do not easily credit
everyone who speaks TO them; for they
know that human frailty ia prone to
evil, and very subject to error in words.
1t is great wisdom not to be rash in
thy doings, nor to stand stihiy in thine
own conceits.-
As also not to believe everything
which thou nearest nor Immediately to
relate again to others what thou hast
heard or dost believe.
Consult with him that is wise and OF
sound judgmNt, and seek to be In
structed by one better than thyself,
rather than to follow thine own inven-
tionr.
a good life maketh man wise ac-
cerding to God, and giveth him expert

The more humble man Is in himself,
and the more subject unto God, the
mere wise and peaceful shall he be in all
things. Thomas q Kempis.

Archery Statistics.

The returns for the Female Archery
Clubs of America, for the season OF
1879, are all in. We gather from them
the following interesting statistics,
which indicate that this branch of in
dnstry is in fourishing condition.:
The target was hit during the season
three times out of a possible $4,000.
The rumor that these three times were
accidents is without foundation. 2,S74
of the archers have become hopefully
engaged to the young gentlemen who
were SO kind as to teach them how to
aim. S,940 other girls are sure they
would have BECOME engaged had it not
been for these 2,674. The $40 do not
hesitate to assert that the 1874 took I'M
fair advantages, and were unbecomingly
forward. The matter is to be brought
to the notice of the next national con-
vention of archers. During the year,
1874, 948 barn doors were we'll hit. or
this number, 90, 474 appertained 10 barns
situated less than mile to the right of
the target; 92,474 TO barns situated
less than that distance to the left
of the target. The casualties of the
year are immaterial, and considerably
less in number and severity than those
of the season of 1878. 1t appears from
the returns that ouly 2S0 cows, Is horses,
goats, 5 pigs, 50 small boys, and 49,
720 peddlers of new map of Palestine,
were either killed or wounded during
the season, and in every instance the
blame was in the animal hit. The arch
ers, to girl, had filed afildavits from
which it appears that each OF these cows,
horses, goats, pigs, and boys, were
recklessly exposing their lives by stand
ing within $3.50 feet Of the respective
targets at the lime the accident oc-

The Missing Child OF West Jay.-Sup.
posed Traces Discovered.

RIcHFORD, VT, Nov. 3.-Although
nearly two weeks have elapsed since the
sudden and mysterious disappearance of
Mitchell Ploofs little girl from within
sight of her home, the general interest
in the matter is in no wise abated, every
scrap of intelligence being eagerly
sought for by the public generally. In
tellie9nce was received here last night
from Hardwick relative to the clue dis
covered at that place last Wednesday.
IL eoomo that a uay or two pravinns q
man and woman, accompanied by O
child, passed through Hardwick village
going south. About mile and half
beyond they stopped at Mr.. Paine's
house and asked to be allowed to sit at
the fire little while, as the child was
suffering from the whooping cough.
The action Of the man and woman while
in the house and its non-resemblance to
them, led Mr.. Paine to believe that the
child had been stolen. After they went
away, which was in short time, Mr..
Paine drove to the village and made in
quiries as to whether a child was miss
ing. AS no one knew of anv such oc-
currence the matter rested until We'd
nesday, when news of the child being
lost in West Jay reached Iardwick.
kilograms were sent to this place, and
parties went there to investigate the
matter with the above result. The
child which stopped at Paine's answers
the description of the Pl0of child fully.
even to the whooping cough.
In connection with this, another clue
which was accidentally discovered last
Friday may be of interest. The next
day after Ploof's child disappeared.
workmen at Buck g. Stevens saw mill
between this place and East Richford,
observed man, woman and child pass
ing on foot. The action of the child
first attracted the attention of the men.
The man wanted to carry the child, a
little girl, but upon his approaching her
she would scream with apparent terror.
and gave every indication of being very
much afraid of the man and woman.
The men informed Mr.. Stevens of the
circumstance, and suggested that he
stop them and inquire into the matter.
At that time 1t was generally supposed
the Ploof child was in the woods of
West Jay, and Mr.. Stevens refused to
interfere. The child and her compan-
ions have been traced to Eden, a small
place between here and Hardwick, and
there they disappeared and 10 further
trace can be found. 1t is quite proba-
BILE this last party is the same which
passed through Hardwick, and efforts
will be made to gain some knowledge
of them after they left that place. The
conviction is strong that the child is
Ploofs little girl, but how it came to
be in its present position ia another
part of the general mysteriousness of
the whole affair." Boston journal.
