na1Ves, ana Delng or DOlQ, aQVen- turous disposition, and already reduced to 8 half-savage state by his occupation, he ended by joining the Umzuzis. When the chief of that tribe died, Mccarthy was elected to the position, which he se- cured by killing, in single combat, half a dozen pretenders. He made an effort to introduce Christianity, but failed. He has white wife, daughter of rich Boer, who eloped with him some time ago. The lady's father would be glad to receive his son-in-law, but the Irish Kafir refused to desert his adopted peo- pie. It is feared that it will go hard with him on court martial, for Met Carthy, as combination of Fenian and Zulu, can hardly enlist the friendly admiration of his captors.
 Brakeman Sile Green, of the Erie Railway, is brave fellow who will do anything to oblige lady. On Friday lady entered car at Corning to bid her daughter good bye. The train started before she realized that it was in motion. In her excitement she rushed out and jumped off while the train was trundling along quite rapidly. She was thrown to the ground, and her daughter, who had followed her to the platform, also jumped off, and would have been crushed under the wheels if Brakeman Green la not caught her in his arms and saved her life. When she ascertained that her mother was uni injured, she was very anxious to return to her seat. Brake man Green was the very man for the moment. He seized her under the arm and running along the road bed at full speed, sprang upon the platform of the last car and deposited his precious bur- den in cushioned seat. Time of train at the moment, ten miles an hour.
 Among the laws enacted by the late Legislature of Illinois is one providing that any banker or broker, or person doing banking business, or any officer of any banking company, who shall re- ceive deposit when jnsolvent, whereby the deposit so made shall be lost to the depositor, shall be deemed guilty of en- bezzlement, and shall be fined in double the amount of the sum fraudulently taken, and also imprisoned in the peni- tentiary for not less than one nor more than three years. The failure, suspen- sion, or involuntary liquidation of the banker, broker, or banking company within thirty days after receiving the de- posit is to be deemed prima facie evi. dence of an intent to defraud.
 The new German tariff is aug ument- ing the ill-feeling between Germany and Russia, which first became distinctly observable during the Berlin Congress and was afterward so much increased by the precautionary action of the German Government during the late outbreak of plague. The manner in which the Russian and German journals are at present nagging at one another is childish. The Germans dilate with evident pleasure on the disturbed in- ternal condition of Russia, and express horror at the idea of Russian having been found to attempt the life of the once revered Czar. The Russian jour. nals reply: "Tu quoque. Do not forget that your Emperor was fred on twice within short interval, and our Emperor has only been fired on once."

An Incident at Cold HarbOr.

Six days. and nights of continuous fighting and slaughter An, how tired I got of it, child as was, with all of strong childs strength and recklessness <! Fo1r men carrying a pale infantryman stop for an instant in my battery. The wounded one saffers intensely from wound through the foot. My sympathy is excited for the young fellow, and as we at the moment are doing nothing, I ask for half an hours leave. Getting it, accompany him back into the woods to one of the Second corps's field hospi- tals. Here, grooming loudly, he awaits his turn, which soon comes. We lift him on the rude table. A surgeon holds chloroform to his nostrils, and under it's influence he lies as if in death. The boot is removed, then the stocking, and l see 8 great ragged hole on the sole of the foot where the ball came out. Then I hear the coatless surgeon who is making the examination cry out: "The cowardly whelp ]" So I edge around and look over the shoulders of the as- sistant surgeon, and see that the small wound on the top of the foot, where the ball entered, is blackened with powder I, too, mutter, "The coward l" and am really pleased to see the knife and saw put to work, and the craven's leg taken off below the knee. He is carried into the shade of tree, and left there to wake up when he will.
 With 8 long breath he opens his eyes. am with him at once, and look sharp. ly at him. I will never forget the look | of horror that fastened on his face when he found his leg. was off. Utter hope lessness and fear that look expressed. entered into conversation with him, anC he, weakened and unnerved by the loss of the leg and the chloroform, for once told the truth. Lying on his back, he aimed at his great toe, meaning to shoot it of, but being rudely joggled by {
 comrade at the critical instant, his r1dt covered the foot just below the ankle and an ounce ball went crashing through the bunch of bones and sinews. The wound, instead of being furlough, was 8 discharge from the army, probably into eternity. Our guns at the fron
 began to howl at the rebels again, and ] was forced to leave the hospital. Tine utter contempt of the surgeons, theil change from careful handling to almos brutality, when they discovered the wound was self-inhicted, was br@cing tc mo. It strung me up as whiskey would have done. I liked it, and rammed home the ammunition in gun No. witt a vim.

Another Mysterious Murder.

The murder of Mrs. pr. Hull in New York city is horrible affair. The de- ceased lady was nearly sixty years of age, and probably on account of her age and her corpulency slept in small room on the ground floor adjoining the back par Tor or dining-room, and leading directly into the front hall, the door of which is said to have been found open. There is no theory to account for the crime ex- cept that of robbery. Mrs. Hull slept apart from her husband, Dr. Hull, who occupied room in the upper part of the house, but this was to prevent the former from being disturbed by night calls, and the family relations appear to have been happy. The other inmates of the house were seven boarders and two colored servants, cook and housemaid. None of them were disturbed by any noise during the night, and from the To- cation of Mrs. Hull's room, her cries, if she uttered any, were more likely to be heard on the sidewalk than in the upper part of the house. The body was found with the feet tied to the rails of the bed, the arms bound, torn sheet wound around the head, covering the mouth and eyes, and a shawl and dress twisted about the neck. Death was the result of strangulation.
 These are in brief the horrible facts. By whom the crime was committed is at present mystery, and it will not be sur prising if the case should go down into history as companion to the Burdell, the Nathan and other unpunished mur- ders. Still, there are strong facts in this case on which to base theory that may lead to the detection of the guilty parties. The binding of the victims eyes and the tying of her legs seem con- elusive proof that robbery, without mur- der, was intended. The old lady could easily have been killed outright. Why should she have been secured from mov- ing if her murder had been designed Again, if the robbers were unknown to her, or did not have some peculiarity, such as color, to furnish clcw to their identity, why should her eyes have been bound? It is known that the murderers had 8 candle in their possession, be- cause they had looked into their victims eyes so closely as to burn one of the brows and drop the grease on the side of her face. They no doubt used this candle as safer than gaslight in search ing for the jewelry, and it is plausible to suppose that, alarmed by the poor lady's lnaction, they looked into her eyes, and, discovering that she was dead, became terrified and fled before com- pleting the work of plunder. This theo- ry would account for the otherwise sin. gular fact that, while the villains took a watch and chain from a bureau in the dini.g room,' they left lot of plate which lay close by.

merly denounced heavy forfeiture of property against suicide this is no longer enforced, because it is seen to punish innocent heirs rather than the real offenders. The law formerly pre- scribed ignominious burial this is re- faxed, because it is seen to involve barbarous vengeance, rather than 8 true punishment. But suicide is just as truly the murder of ones self now as in the days when the perpetr ator was liable to forfeit lands and goods, and to be buried, with stake through the heart, at place where four roads met. The courts now realize that the principal offender can- not be reached by human penalties, and they forbear the attempt. But for the purposes of any collateral inquiry, an intentional suicide by 8 sane person is fully and entirely murder. Whatever aids suicide is guilty of complicity in a murder.

 have sometimes thought that when we abandoned the old militia system, which gave Us training days once or twice a year, that we made tt mistake, for those who can remember the time when so much military ardor prevailed, will re- call the excitement that sprang up, wherever the period for parade or review approached, particularly if it was a Gen eraI training, upon which occasion the farms would be deserted, and the villages would be thronged with pieasure-seeking, holiday visitors.
 The store-keeperS had ''laid in fresh stock or goods l.and consequently reaped d harvest. Booths and stands were I erected i'll the open spaces about the cen tre of the village, Casually near by the l Episcopal church, ) and were bountifully | supplied with pies cakes, candies and in- dlgcstible nuts ot Il past age; while half breed Indians of the Pootatuck or $ :ati- cook tribe, with their baskets and bows and arrows were early on the ground, ready to bring down cat a long shot as Bob Acre says, any old copper penny, tho nickels then bovs,) which would be set up for them; Side-Shows, too, of learned pigs, and other wonders, were in- troduced wherever suitable building could be procured So it was a gala day all around for both old and young.

 But those nevertheless were good old times, Mr. Editor, There was no cheap patriotism lying around loose then; money circulated freely before and after the great event. Tho town felt sG(e upon witnessing the brilliant cvOlutioms of its yeomanry when drawn up in battle array with its marches and it's counter marches and we boys looked forward impaticHuy for the next training day, haiIinS it when it came with unspcakahle delight.
 Such is my recollection of Connecticut militia training, and when the next one comes off, may 1 be there to SCc it, with your BEE to publish tho account of it.
