Marriage of a Murderer.

A marriage under very peculiar cir
has been sOlemnized here.
One of the contracting parties, John D.
Poindexter, was convicted some time
since of killing G. G. Curtis, q clerk in
a shoe store, last March, for an alleged
insult offered to Miss Isabella Cottrell,
the other party to the ceremony. As
both the slayer and slain were promi-
nently connected here, the affair created
a great deal of interest, and the friends
of POindexter made every possible effort
to secure his acquittal, but without avail.
He was convicted and sentenced to two
years in the State-prisOn. The case was
carried to the Supreme Court of the
State, but without relief for the prisoner.
The Executive was next appealed to for
Communication to imprisonment in jail,
but without success. The Court has
withheld papers committing PoindeXter
to a fe1on's cell for several days, in
order, it was understood, to allow the
marriage. Last evening the prisoner
was removed from jail, in the custody
of an officer, and carried to the resi-
dence of the bride in the suburbs of the
city, where the marriage took place. 1t
was witnessed by a few friends of the
contracting parties. The bride, who
was the innocent cause of the unhappy
tragedy which eliminates in her hus-
bands being doomed to felon's cell, is
exceedingly pretty. A bill is pending
before the Legislature to exempt the
groom from wearing the prison garb
during his term of imprisonment. A
few months ago the host of admirers OF
the slain Curtis erected a handsome
monument over his grave in Hollywood

A New Indian Policy Proposed.

WAsHISGTOS, Feb. %.
The Senate Committee on indian Affairs Mt
a long special meeting day agreed to
port for passage an original bill designed to
cover the entire range of the Indian question,
by the enactment Of various new provisions,
based upon the general principle that the.
United States should in a great measure aban-
don the policy of treating Indians as children,
and place them as speedily as possible upon
the footing of citizens. The main features of
the pIan outlined by the committee are:
First-PeTInanent localiZatiOn of the Indians
by aiIOtting hOmesteads to them ia seyeralty,
with provisions that lands so allotted shall
be absolutely inalienable during period Of
twenty five years.
SecOnd-ExteDsiOn over the Indians of the
general, civil and criminal laws of the United
States, or of the respective States and Terri
tories within whose border they are located.
Third-COntinuatiUn of certain degrees OF
assistance to them by the Government IN the
line of progress towards civilization, until
they become eIf-sustaining by means OF ag-
TicuItuFal and pastoral occupation
1t is not proposed by the committee to trans
fer control of the Indians to the War Depart
ment but the bill Will largely divest the In
terror Department ef discretionary power in
regard to Indians by placing them Individual
" under control of the cOuntry's general laws
The provisions of the bill are not to apply to
the five civilized tribes of the Indian Terrific
~ Its details viii be subjects for cOnsidera-
ton at future meetings Col. Brooks, Acting
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, says. All
tribes, except the Utes and Lempis, are in
reservations capable of supporting them by
means of agriculture or stock raising.

THE GOLDEN ISLES.

The poet sits and smiles,
He knows the golden isles,
He never hopes to win their cliffs, their mar
BILE mines,
Reefs where their green sea raves
The cOldness of their caves,
Their feidspars full of light, their rosy coral
lines.
All these he oft has sought,
Led by his travelling thought,
Their glorious distance hides no inward charm
from him;
He would not have their day
To common light decay,
He loves their mystery best, and bids their
shapes be dim.
They solace all his pains,
They animate his strains,
Within their radiant glow he soon forgets the
They bathe his storrid moons
In the soft light of moons,
They leave his lingering evenings tenderly
empearled.
As one who walks all day
Along dusty way,
May turn aside to plunge in some sequestered
And so may straight forget
His weariness and fret,
So seeks the poets heart those islands blue
and cool.
Content to know them there,
Hung in the shining air,
He trims no foolish sail to win the hopeless
coast;
fIis vision is enough
To feed his soul with love,
And he who grasps too much may even him
self be lost,
He knows that, If he waits,
One day the well worn gates
of life will ope and send him westward o'eI
Then will he reach ere night
The isles of his delight,
But they must float until they anchor in the

TAKING BOARDERs.

1t was a scandal the neighbors
said, " that Miss Della should be obliged
to take boarders, after all she'd been
through; and Heaven knows boarders
didn't help body to work out her sal
vation. And so much money in the
family, too, taking it by and large.
Wasn't her Uncle Eben, over at Dover,
well to do, and not a chick of his own
to care for, except the boy he had
adopted, who was no credit to him? 1t
was odd, now, that man with poor re-
lations should take to a stranger, when
his own flesh and blood was needy; but
sometimes it did seem as if folks had
more feeling for others than for their
own kith and kin. Then there were
cousins in the city, forehanded and fash
ionable, who never were worth row of
pins to Della; and there was her Great
uncle Johns widow a-larking on the
Continent, a-gambling at Baden-Baden
and trying the waters of every mineral
spring in the three kingdoms, for no
disease under the sun but old age.
She'd been known to say that her own
folks were too rich already, and probably
she would endow some hospital with her
property" Plainly, wealthy relatives
were of no value to Miss Della. To be

Uncle John had brought her into

ways beautiful; for, though Della had

WaterspOut a Thousand Feet High.

Wilbur Hammond and DR.. Mears, of
Greenport, l. l., describe an extraOr-
binary phenomenon which they wit
messed while on the Sound shore, op-
pOsite that village, on a recent afternoon.
Their attention was first attracted by
what seemed to be an unusual disturb
ance on the surface of the water, di-
rectly under heavy cloud coming from
the windward, the wind blowing heavily
from the northwest and a heavy surf
rolling. The tops of the waves assumed
the spirally-ascending motion peculiar
to waterspouts, which increased until
the elevation was upward of fifty feet
before the water took the cloud form
This was soon followed by a second,
about mile off shore, similar to the
first, but considerably larger, its height,
Judging from the angle of elevation, be-
ing nearly one thousand feet. The top
of this also resolved into a fog or mist
directly under a cloud. Then, at dis
tance of about four miles, a third one
was plainly discernable, which seemed
to meet the sky at the rear of the cloud,
and which must have covered an area OF
several acres. All three of these spouts
were moving with the wind, and the
first or smallest one subsidized to the
water level only a few rods from the
beach. Immediately there was a sharp
dash of rain, followed by hail squall
as the disturbing cloud passed over, anC
when this subsidized, so that a view O.
the Sound could again be obtained, the
waterspouts had disappeared. So fal
as known, these were the only water
spouts ever seen in the Sound.

The TdSnld3sid11 Examiner contains a
letter from correspondent in which he
speaks of a curious sight he witnessed
in Ceylon. 1t is the manner in which
iron at a white heat is handled by the
blacksmiths, which is kept a secret in
the trade. The process is simple, but
it certainly requires nerve to take up a
ball of almost liquid iron the size of a
twenty-four pound shot, and hold it in
the palms of ones hand from twenty to
twenty-five seconds, and afterwards de-
liberate1y stand on it for the same time.
They make a paste of equal quantities
of the Muranga root, leaves of the
Bewila and Kapukannasa plant, and the
tender shoot of the Gurulla finely ground
with lme-juice; and this, spread over
the palms and soles, makes them fire.
proof; for, although you hear the hiss
ing of the iron while being carried in the
hands, it leaves no mark or injury when
the paste is washed off.

SURPRISE.

with murmurs low, upon the rivers brink,
The restless nimiess waters idly beat;
The grazing cattle droop their heads to
drink,
The ripples flowing gently o'er their feet;
The hazy stiffness and the summer air
Make life tender dream, devoid OF care.
All changed and cheerless in the wintTy
wind
That sweeps from shore to shore in sullen
mood
TAe river rests, in ghostly shroud confined,
And clustering breezes sing requiem
rude.
The slow herds, shivering in the fallen snow,
Scatter its powdered paleness as they go.
And thus in life, winter cold and drear
Fast follows on the summers joyous
bloom;
And while we wait, and idly wander here,
Times tocsin sounds some dreaded day OF
doom;
And starting up, with pleasure laden mind
We see the smiling summer far behindl

The Proposed New Public Land System.

WASHINGTON, d. C., Feb. 25-
President Hayes to-day transmitted 20 JotI
Houses of Congress the report and draft OF
the bill submitted by the Public Land Com
mission appointed under the act OF March .,
1873. The President, in tfansnlti1ng these
documents, says: " The subject OF the report,
aud accompanying btli, is of such importance
that respectfully commend 1t TO the prompt
and earnest consideration Of Congress" The
public lands are to be divided into four
classes viz, frTigable, pasturages timber ana
mineral and each class is to be disposed OF
under laws especially applicable thereto. The
bUI provides, in regaTd to homestead en-
tries that the term of residence required
shall be reduced from five to three years,
ahoHshes the communication system, and ex-
tends the homestead system to settlements
lInon surveyed lands of all classes except
mineral and timber lands. Provision is made
for colony hOneSteads," whereby twenty
or more persons may dwell together IN a VII
Iage and acquire title to a corresponding
number of homestead claims by cultiyating z
them without being required to reside upon
them separately. The Commission recon-
mends a sweeping repeal of existing mineral
laws, with reservation in favor of all vested
rights. and an allowance of a sufficient period
to be fixed by Congress within which possess
ory rights must be perfected or be Thereafter
barred.

How They Get COffee in Cincinnati.

shopkeepers was successfully performed
at a Cincinnati grocery the other even
ing. A woman entered and ordered
pound of the best coffee. She carried Il
Jar under her arm, and when the
groceryman was about to pour the coffee
in paper bag the customer told him to
dump it into the jar instead. The man
did so, the female leaning over the
counter and still holding the jar under
her arm, with the bottom Of the vessel
concealed. When she had received the
coffee the female put her hand in her
pocket, and with a well-feigned express
sion of annoyance cried: "I DO de-
clare, have left my purse at home!
I'll lust set the jar of coffee down on the
counter here while l run IN home and
get the money" She placed the jar on
the counter and went out, but she failed
to return, and when the storekecper
picked up the jar he was surprised TO
find that IT did not contain any coffee,
and that the bottom had been knocked
out. It then flashed upon his mind that
when he poured the coffee III the jar it
ran through into bag concealed by the
female sharper.
