DdnsmoYe and Her family positively iden-6
titled the young man as the companion:
of Fogler, and other crounstan-
ces pointed, with terrible directness.
to his guilt, he was acquitted on the
testimony Of two witnesses who swOfe to
an alibi. Fogler was hanged, and on
the gallowsi imade . confession IN which
he solemlly averred that Montgomery
was an accomplice. The community were
entirely convinced Of his guilt before
that. and following his acquittalE an in.
vestiganon into the manner IA which the
testimony as TO the alibi WAS produced
led TO the disbarment Of two of Mont
gomery 9 counsel Leroy Woods Taylor
and James B. Ruth from their pfivi-
leges as attorneys They were prouais-
ing and brilliant young men, and thoir
disgrace resulted ii the death Of both az
them in the course Of 8 few months.
Young Montgomery was Stunned by all
classes. His father was broken down bv
the moral certainty that his son was 8
murderer, and died in 1871. He left te his
unfortunate boy q fortune Of $75, 900,
with an appeal to him to forsake the SEQ
mode ofhfe he had chosen and 60 to
some distant part Of the country and be-
come new man. The young man.s mo-
ther, once the life Of Washington society.
became almost Q recluse In her elegant
home, and lives there yet, heart broken
and prematurely aged woman.
During the trial of Montgomery his
counsel referred to him frequently in ed
dressing the jury as ssthis babe, = As soon
as he was free Montgomery rlunged into
all kinds OF e1oesses, and from the allu-
sion above he was given the name Of
"Babe' Montgomery by his vicious COM
panions, and BY that name he has been
notorious as q criminal throughout this
part OF Pennsylvania and in the Ohio
valley for the past thirteen years. He
has figured in many shooting afrays il
this city ana others, including Cincinnati.
st. Louis and Indianapolis, and his name
appears on the police records Of all these
cities In connection with numerous pettv
crimes. No man that ever followed bis
course of lite ever used liquor in such en-
cess as he. During all Of this time he
used very little Of his inheritance. and
that only to settle some Of his faore seyi-
Gus difficulties. He has forced living
out OF his disolute companions, and vss
always known as the meanest man IN the
valley" On Wednesday he was in this
city. he was exceedingly drunk. While
taking drink at the White House he
fell to the floor. He was carried to the
city hospital, and in ten minutes was 9
corpse.

Of palm leaf fans be in the center Of

must be scalding hot. Think Of the
unfortunate Inhabitants Of the sun
suffering 10000 degrees while we are
gr lMbting about ninety odd in the

uncomfortable desire to do what We

danced their way through 0erma'

that there, were 10000 pereons thus
engaged. o.
its commencement WAS supposed
20 have been that a single individual,
afflicted with some nervous disease,
'colnmenced dancing: others seeing
him. in obedience to the desire, the
mania. to act AZ others act. joined IN
the dance, which In q short time,
engaged the above extraordinary
number OF persons. IN tho came
cateeory may be placed tho ''biting
nuns" Who appeared 10 tho converts
OF Germany. Holland and Rome 10
snother century. This extended imi.
tative mania arose simply from the
act Of one nun attempting to bite 4
Comuapion. aud almost Immediately
the whole slsterho0d commenced
biting each othes. 20 IN regard 70
the "mewing nuns.

There is no other planet OF the solar
system, says science for all, which offers
SO close an analogy to the earth as Mars
The telescope reveals to us the figures
Of broad tracts Of land and expanses Of
sea upon his surface. The durations Of
his day and night almost coincide with
our own. His exterior experiences the
alternating changes Of the seasons Ills
nights are illuminated by two satellites,
WHICH present al the phenomena of our
own moon, and more frequently, owing
to their greater velocity. An atmos-
phere probably surrounds slis planat;
in fact, the existenra Of air is indispeA-
sible to his other features. Hence the
inference that Mans is hahitahle globe
appears a very ohYious aud flir eonchl-
sion, and it would be inconsistent to inn
agine that this planet, provided appar-
emily with all the requisite natural facil-
ties to render life a necessary and de.
sirable feature Of bis surface, is q sphere
Of desoIation, a mass Of inert matter,
which, though conforming to the laws
Of gravitation, is otherwise serving no
useful end, as the abode and sustenance
Of animate creatures. It is far more in
accordance with analogy and rational
speculation TO conclude that Mars is the
center Of life and activity, and that lis
surface IS teemiEg with living beings.

A touching incident occurred in
the deaths Of the aged people, Mr..
and Mrs. Dickson last week. For
convenience In attendance daring
their Illness they were placed in sep
arate bed rooms. The head Of the
beds were placed against thin par
tition which having an open door
permitted the two old people to con-
verse, though not able TO see zach
other. Thsinight before the husband
died his wife heard him gr6aning
and was very anxious to be with him
but was unable to rise. Soon she
was informed that he was dying, and
in order to be BY him, the beds Were
moved so rs TO bring them parallel
with the partition, the heads oppo-
site the door. This done, the fond
wifc reached out her hand, grasped
her husband by the hand, and held
it during his last moments. Thus
death found thenas nearly 81 years
before the marriage ceremony left
them, joined hand in hand. 1t was a
simple and affectionate token Of the
love Of a long life, and the day fol.
lowing tho wife, too, folded her arms
in the sleepof death, and joined hel
husband in the begiffhiug If a Longer
life.

aIosBY.

Sloshy, the celebrated guerrilla chief
tain, who is now consul at Hong Kong,
China, does not stand well with the ad-
ministration aE Washington. The
trouble is that ono of the most corrupt
rings ever in existence was In Hong
Kong, and the American minister to
China, and the consul whom Mosby re-
lieved. were intea estetl in It. When
the celebrated chieftain got there, he
went to work to root out these evils,
and during his service has sent home
over 81 | 900 of consular fees, something
unheard of in the history cf that con-
sulate before. Yet all his interest ia
reforming existing evils has only result
ed in bringing down on his head the
wrath Of the powers that be. Writing
to a friend, be says the reasons he has
not returned are these:
/. Il have been threatened with dis
nissa. for uncoverillg frauds out here,
and want to give the administration
an opportunity of carrying out their
threat, and thereby signalizing their
zeal for civil-ssrvice reform by punish
ing the only man who has tried to re-
form it.
,. 81 continue to hold the post be-
cause have not yet euite completed
my investigations, and ii were to re-
sign now and so home the ring woull
claim it as victory, and say resigned
under compulsion."
We hope the colonel will stick TO his
post until he is able to prove all he says
concerning the rottenness Of the consul
ate at Hong Kong, ard that the ring
