A Model Confession.

Several years ago, IN Western town, a
young lawyer, member of a large church,
got drunk. The brethren said he must
confess; he demurred. He knew the mem
bers to be good people, but they had their
little faults, such as driving sharp barg aims,
screwing the laborer down to low wages
loaning money at an Illegal rate, misrep-
resenting articles they had for sale, ETC.
But they were good people, and pressed
the lawyer to come before the meeting and
own up his sin of taking glass too much,
for they were temperance people, and alb
horred intemperence. The sinner went to
tie confession, found large gathering of
brethren and sisters, whose bowed heads
rose and whose eyes glistened with pure
delight as the lawyer began his confession
II Confess he said, SHAT l never took
ten per cent. for money! On that confess
sion down went brothers. head with a
groan. II never turEed poor man from
my door who needed food and shelter. y
Down went another head. Il confess 1
never sold skim-mllk cheese for, a new
one;" whereupon woman shrieked for
mercy. II confess that have not been
Pharisalcal and self-righteous, and have
not sought to ininre or prosecute those
who have not happened to agree with me;',
when down dropped numerous heads. Il
confess that l never played the hypocrite,
and | do not lie, and that | have not used
religion as cloak when down, went, sew
eral other heads and among them the heads
OF the very ones who were so anxious that
he should confess. Shut, concluded, the
sinner, Il have been drunk, and am very
sorry for it," Whereupon the meeting
quietly dispersed. .s LIS a3.{y.5t4,

Al AMERICAN SWINDLE.

The name of Philip Arnold will be
remembered by many. He was the per-
son who many years ago bought in Eng
land and On the Continent diamo nds of
inferior quality and soma other precious
stones, and buried them on q mountain
slope on the borders of New Mexico and
Arizona. 1t will be recollected that
Arnold " got up" q company for the pur-
pose Of exploring those pretended dia.
mond-felds, that experts were despatched
to examine the locality that their reports
were contradictory, and that at last the
swindle was exposed. Arnold was gene
rally believed to have Melted a considera-
BILE fortune by the transaction; but all
efforts to make him surrender any part of
the plumber were fruitless. He died quite
2atsly in Kentucky, and one Barlow has
commenced q suit against his widow,
demanding restitution of $143,0OO The
statement made by Barlow is to the effect
that, about eight years ago, moved by
Arnold's representations, he despatched an
expert to the scene ofthe alleged diamond
fields, who, on bis return, assured him of
the trustworthiness of Arnold's reports,
and, declared that there were immense
treasures of diamonds and other stones all
along the range, almost waiting to be
picked up. Barlow at once advanced
100000 to Arnold for working the field.
Soon afterwards q thorough examination of
the locality was made by some honest
experts, who exposed the swirdle. Bar
low now seeks to discover bis 500, 900,
and s43, 600 besides, which he sets down
90 interest of the advance.-TSm@.

A Clever CabuI General.

London World.l
Here is an extract from a private
letter from the Punjab: There is a
very fine fellow here, a sort of state
prisoner, Daood Shah, the Cabul gen.
eral who, they say, tried to stop the
massacre Of Cavagnari. He is six feet
four inches high, and a handsome,
Jewish looking man, like all Afehans.
The officer in whose charge he is
brings him to the club to read the
papers to him sometimes, for he is
very eager for kilograms. His
comments on European politics
are amusing, though it is hard
to make him fairly under
stand radical and tory, and Russian
nihilism. Still, he is wonderfully
well informed, and a striking contrast
for mental activity and general vigor
to Indian swells. We want to get
him a Kriegspiel, or war game, for be
is an enthusiastic soldier, and a great
student of battles and plans thereof.
We made a mistake in undertaking
opponents like these. h is out of it
now. of course, but he freely criticises
General Roberts, and points out his
mistakes. 1t is a pity to keep a noun
taineer like him down here in the
heat. We all say he should be sent
to Simla to teach our commander-in
chief the art of war. These Afghans
are queer folk. He is the mildest-
hammered man that ever cut a throat,
and yet throat-cutting would come a:
easy to him as spying his prayers. HI
prays devoutly five times daily"

Injustice to Ex-senator Gordon

Injustice TO Ex-senator Gordon.
Washington Special to Gin. Gazette.l
Gen. Gordon's attention having
been called to the dispatches sent
from here, purporting to be founded
on the statements of A. II. Stephens,
to the effect that his resignation of his
seat in the senate was to avoid the
exposure of certain business transac-
tions in Georgia, which had come to
the knowledge of his enemies, and
would not bear the light, he de-
nounced the insinuation as a malicious
scandal. His enemies in Georgia put
in circulation every injurious tale
they could find or invent, previous TO
his reelection to the senate, and put
up a candidate in opposition to him.
When the election came of, his oppo-
nents received five votes, he receiving
all the rest that we're cast, which he
Justly regards as a satisfactory vindi-
cation of his record. Senator Gordon
says he does not mind any revival of
these ISLANDERS in Georgia, where he is
known, and they could do him no
harm; but he regrets that they should
now be given currency in the north,
and especially in Boston, where he
has many friends to whom he is
strongly attached. He declares that
his sole motive in resigning was to
take advantage of opportunities to
improve his impoverished fortunes and
make a better provision for those who
are dependent upon him.

NASHVILLE AMERICAN: Judge
Key is said to be disappointed at the
weakness of the Grant and Key boom.
We are not inclined to credit a great
deal of this. We think Mr.. Key rec
ognizes a fact long since patent to his
friends, that he is as eminently unfit
ted for the field of politics as he is
suited to the bench, and we have not
the slightest doubt that he is fully
satisfied with the boom which swung
him up into a permanent place on the
bench. The place is higher and bet
ter every way than a place as fifth
wheel on the republican caisson. Be-
sides, Judge Key has never officially
announced that he is a republican,
and he could hardly expect the ie-
publicans to nominate a southern
democrat, and he too, an ex-confeder-
ate.

Little Rock Gazette, 2s.l
Mr.. Robert Lloyd arrived from
Marshall, Texas, yesterday, en- route
to Pine Bluff. When asked concern
ing the dramatic murderer, he said:
He is still moody and silent. His
approaching trial, if his trial is ap.
preaching, has no effect on him. Per-
IONS who notice him closely say that
in moments of mental abstraction, he
grasps a bar of his prison, and goes
through the motion of pulling the
throttle. He is an engineer, you
know. l don't suppose he has a
friend in the world. | believe the
citizens of Marshall would like to see
him hanged tomorrow. He has put
a blacker blot on the character of
Texas than was ever before spread on
that state, and the majority of the
people believe that if he is hanged the
blot will be removed. But even if he
is cleared, the law of Texas cannot be
blamed. The witnesses in the case
are very slow about appearing. The
law there, as everywhere else, is sup.
posed to try a man upon the strength
