THERE is an ODonovan who must be the
cute cousin of O'Donovan Rosa. Just now
he is temporarily under cloud, having
been captured as newspaper correspondent
at Merry. He began in carly life as Fenian,
and was permitted after arrest to leave Eng
land by that convenient method which
thrifty Britannia saves herself the expense of
supporting her prisoners. He came to America
and worked awhile ON the New York Her
aid, but returned home to run his head
again into moose, and make another escape
to France. Here he took the first opportu-
nifty of being captured by the Germans, and
since, by truly Celtic mixture of brains
and bravery has served the London News
in the Carlist war and through the Turko-
Russian campaigns until capture has again
given pause to his rhetoric.

THE CUNARD LINER Gallia has set o
noble example to other ocean steamers in
dividing the donations to the Life Saving
Service, which hitherto have been devoted
exclusively to the British service, between
it and the Blue Anchor Association
(Women's National Relief of the United
States 1t is well known that the benevo-
lence of Americans, travelling by the ocean
steamers, has largely increased the funds of
the British Association; and it seems but
o,roper that since the women of our country
'have entered upon similar work that their
enterprise should meet with similar recog-
milton. 1t is not likely, either that this
will at all lessen the income of the British
society. Our country people will simply
increase their benevolence and probably
both organizations be gamers.

AT Kingston, r. l., Saturday, in
the Sprague divorce case, counsel
for Mrs. Katherine Chase-Sprague
presented a petition for a bill Of par
ticulars Of her alleged crimes of
adultery. Mrs. Sprague's counsel
argued that Mrs. S prague was en-
titled to what she asked for to pro
tect her from being compromised by
testimony which she would then
have no opportunity to refute The
counsel on the other side argued
that it would be an unfair disclosure
of the Governors defense against
his wife's petition. If there was any
danger of what her counsel feared,
the court could and would protect
her interests at the time Of trial
The court decided against the peti-
ton, and stated that if a divorce
should be granted for nOn-support
or desertion, all the charges of adul-
terry would be eliminated, so as not
to stand as a part of the record to
reflect on the one against whom the
case should be decided.

A Grim Story Oh Senator
Williams.

Gen. Grant is quoted by the Lex
ington Transcript as telling a rather
grimIy funy story concerning Gen.
Cerro GordO Williams, now United
States Senator from Kentucky. He
said that when he and Williams
were in Mexico they were on one
occasion after the surrender of the
city, on a frolic, and that Williams
had fine through bred Kentucky
mare, and he (Gran9 an Indian
pony, which they were running at
full speed down the streets of the
city; that Williams naturally out
ran him, and that in running down
the street he met a Mexican who
had a pole across his shoulder with
a Jug on each end of it, in the com
mon style of carrying water in that
country that Williams ran against
the Jug and knocked the man down
with great violence. Grant said he
looked back and noticed that a
crowd had gathered around the fallen
man, and rode back to see what was
the matter, when he found the man
was dead. Grant adds that he never
told Williams anything about it,
because he knew that it would make
him feel uncomfortable, and he be-
lieved he did not intend to kill him,
but we suppose he would admit that
Gen. Williams took the chances on
doing so that he might have little
innocent fun. This story was told
by devoted admirer Of Gen. Grants
indisposition to make a man feel
uncomfortable unnecessarily.

The Goat.


The goat is a native of the vacant
lots about the city, and there are lots
Of them. ... .
The goat is omnivorous. He will
goat anything that he sees, and will
seize anything that he may goat
His principal food, however, is
play bill. lie is very fond of letters.
Let us honor him tor his love of
bill letters.
The gentleman goat is called Billy,
but he is a Billy that no policeman
can handle.
The lady goats are called Nanny.
This is their ewe-Nanny.mOus name.
The young goat is called a kid.
Kids are on hand the year round.
The goat is generous to fault.
He presents a couple Of horns to
everybody he seees.
In the matter of mere cash, the
Cashmer goat is the most famous
Goats are fond ofthe outskirts of
large cities also hoop skirts.
The goat wears a beard. 1t is
called a goatee, though not confined
to the he goat
The goat is noted for his butting,
but he never flags.
The goat is one of the signs ofthe
zodiac, signifying that he has
propensity to knock things sky
high.
He never gets high himself
That is to say, never gets over the
ba-a-a.
Shakspere understood the spon-
taneity of the goat when ne said,
"Stand not upon the order of your
going, but goat once"
The goat is a wide-awake animal.
He is never caught mapping, not
withstanding the many cases Of kid
mapping you may have read about.
For many years the goat was the
only butter known ..
Goats love to get on a high rock
and sun themselves, Give them a
chance and they will always seek a
sunny cline.
The god Pan was a sort of half
goat. All goats do not pan out as
well as he did.

An Trishman's Wit,

When Jackson was President,
Jimmy O'NeiII, the Irish door-keep-
er of the White House, was a mark
ed character. He had his foibles,
which often offended the fastidious-
ness of the Presidents nephew and
secretary, Mai. DoneIson, who caus-
ed his dismissal on an average Of
about once a week. But, on appeal
to the higher court, the verdict was
always reversed by the good old
GENERAL. Once, however, Jimmy
was guilty Of some fragrant ofense,
and, being summoned before the
President himself, was thus address
ed: Jimmy, [ have borne with
you for years in spite Of all COM
plants; but this goes beyond my
powers of endurance" "And do
you believe the storS?" asked Jim
my. Certainly" answered the
General; Il have just heard it from
two Senators" ''Faith," retorted
Jimmy, ''if l believed all that TWEEN
ty Senators say about you, it's little
I'd think you was fit to be Presi-
dent" "Pshaw, Jimmy" concluded
the General, "clear out and go back
to your duty, but be more careful
hereafter" Jimmy not only re
tanned his place to the close of Jack
sons Presidential term, but accom-
panied him back to the Hermitage
and was with him to the day of his
death.

A TENNESSEE AVENGER.
Following the Trail OF His Sons
Murderers Until He Gets
Them All.


DENVER, Cor, March 20 Officers
from this State have just returned
from Texas with old man Dahlgrccn.
arrested on a charge Of murder. who
has a most remarkable history. He
lived before the war in the northern
part Of Tennessee. His home was
| pleasant one, and with his wife aud
two SONS ho lived very happily on
hls farm until a quarrel arose be-
tween neighbors. The difficulty was
patched, but one of the SONS both
of whom had grown TO mans
estate conceived that he had been
wrongcd, and one day while he and
his brother were passing along the
road in q wagon they cnurc up with
five men, their neighbors. and the
quarrel broke ont aircsh. Tho
young men were courageous and
would not be intimidatcd by their
opponents.
Hot words led to blows, and the
five men, pulling pistols, fired upon
the two Dahlgrcen boys and killed
them. They then ran away, aud,
fearing the vengeance of old man
Dahlgrcen, for he was even then
considered quite an old man. disap-
peared from the community. OF
course Dahlgreon and his wife were
nearly distracted at the sad death of
their boys, Of whom they were
very proud, and Mrs. Dahlgrccn
never recovered from the blow, but
about the time the war broke out
died, and the husband was left to
lament the separation of his family.
He conceived the idea that moth
ing was left in this life for him cN-
cept TO obtain vengeance on tho
men who had robbed him OF his
sons. He devoted the remainder Of
his life to.this purpose. He began
systematically TO search for the tyo
men, whose names we're Gridly.
Black, Hewitt, Meyers, and a man
called "Black Tom, but whose true
name was Lurdy, and one after
another was met and killed
lie had no scruples, no conscience.
His sole object was 10 putthc villains
who made life no object to him out
Of the way lie took mo- interest in
the war, 1t mattercd not whether
the North or South were victors.
He shot Meyers and Lnrdy ia Ten
nessce, and escaped the officers who
were set upon his track.
The old man disappeared from his
country, and no traces of him were
heard for several years. The man
died Of pneumonia in Gin.
and Black is serving out a
term in the State Penitetiary at
Columbus, Ohio, for burglary.
The last of these men, Hewitt.
was slowly but surely tracked by
Dahlgrccn TO Colorado, and, in
little town on the frontier
Of the State, at Coyote, hc
came up with him and shot him in
sold blood, after hc had thrown up
bis hands and asked for mercy.
The little community was terribly
excited about the murder, and started
officers ON the track of Dahlgrccn,
who threw them of the scent No
moro YVES heard of him until last
month, when information was re
ceived that he wusin Houston. Texas,
and there he was arrested

HHGGED TO DEATH.
AN IOWA GIRL OF SIXTEEN DIES II
HER LOVERS ARMS.

HER LOVERS ARMS.
The Keokuk (Iowa) Gate City Of
a recent date says: ''About 10 O.
clock last night the family Of John
J. Rail, living two miles east Of this
city, was thrown into intense excite
ment and despair by the sudden
death Of an only daughter, Miss
Minnie Rail, Is Years old. The young
lady was in the parlor at the time in
company with Charles Gray, her af-
fianced. 1t seems from the state
ment of Mr.. Gray, which was given
with broken sobs, that the two were
seated on a lounge, and he was urg-
ing her to name an early day for
then wedding. The girl was coy
and bashful and hesitated about it.
But the lover was importunate, and
sought in every way to induce a
compliance with his wishes. At last
she consented, saying 1 will marry
you in April. In the excitement
and Joy of the moment Mr.. Gray
threw his arms around her waist
and drew her to him with a quick,
passionate embrace. He was not
conscious of exerting unusual force
Of strength, and does not believe he
did. But the girl gave a short, sharp
scream, exclaiming, Oh Charley,
I'm gone z fell dead in his arms, her
head resting on his shoulder. His
frantic cries alarmed the family, who
came rushing into the room to find
the pitiful sight of the dead girl ly-
ing pale and inanimate in her low
er's arms. A messenger was dis
patched for physician, who arrived
within an hour. But nothing could
be done. The young lady was be-
yond all human aid. 1t is the opin-
ion of the physician that heart dis
ease was the immediate cause of fhe
girls death. She was frail and del
icate, and had long complained of
trouble with her heart. The excite
ment incident to her conversation
with her lover had probably super
induced the attack which led to her
premature death. The family are
overwhelmed with grief, and young
Gray is almost beside himself with
grief and despair. Miss Minnie was
a very handsome young lady, and
was well known in the society circles
of this city"

who sues John b. Gibson, wealthy
resident Of Cincinnati, for $4,000,

settlement Of claim for breach of
promise Of marriage, has been pub
lished. Mrs. Bruce, who was a
dressmaler, became acquainted with
Mr.. Gibson in 1919. They were
acquaintances until 1864, when they
became engaged TO be married.
Thirteen years later Mr.. Gibson

that his relatives opposed the match.
As a reward for releasing him he
offered to give her $4,000, which
was one-third of his fortune Mrs.
Bruce agreed to the proposition and
took Gibson's note for the amount
named, and it was understood be-
tween them that hc was to marry q
Mrs. Beakert, a lady ofgreat wealth,
TO please his relatives. Time went
on till one day Mrs. Bruce was sur
prsod by a call from Mr.. Gibson,
who profcssod still to retain his
former passionate foudncss for her,
and asked to be taken back as a
lover. They were then rc-cngaged
to be married. Not long afterward
Gibson asked her to give him back
the notes, since ifthcy were not des-
uoyed they would, in case of her
death before their marriage, revert
to her heirs. She believed him to
be sincere and restored to him the
notes. lie then deserted her and
last summer was married TO Mrs.

LOCAL OPTION LAW IN DELLA
WARE.
Senator Bayard's Views of Tenn
perance Legislation.

In response to letter from
! gentleman of Wilmington, Del, Sen
ator Bayard recently wrote letter
giving expression to his views con
cerning the pending local option bill
now before the Delaware Senate and
prohibitory legislation in general
1t is as follows:
+" Washington, d. C., March s,
1881-My Dear Sir: l do not like
to intrude my opinions unasked for
upon members Of the Legislature. l
agree with you in thinking local
option laws of very doubtful consti-
tutiOnality and positive inexpedien-
cy. As | understand them they
submit a law to popular cote, in To-
cal districts, and this defeats the
principle of our government, which
is representative in its character,
and places the 1cH0le law making
power and discretion in the LegiS-
tGture and not in the people in their
mere numerical force and primary
capacity. IF punishment Of crimi-
nails was to be adjudged and infict-
by local option, instead Of through
acts Of Legislature executed by
judges and juries, it would be held
wholly at variance with our theory
Of government, and yet to apply
such a rule to so widespread and
daily a habit as the use of alcoholic
or fermented beverages is in my
judgment quite as unsafe. So far as
my experience goes, a well-regula-
ted system of licenses, whereby rev.
enue is largely brought into the
public treasury, coupled with severe
penalties for illicit sale, has proved
the most efficient check upon the
abuse of the liquor traffic. In many
respects the question is a Sumptuary
one, and laws attempting to .estab-
lish sumptuary regulations become
and impossible of exc
cution, so that in those communities
in this country where they have
been enacted, they have either ag-
gravated the evils they were intend
ed to prevent, or have fallen into
and Uselessness and been
repealed The statements | have
seen Of the real condition Of these |
in which total prohibi- |
ton has been attempted, have i'm !
pressed me very strongly in confr-
nation Of these views. Personal in |
1uence and example and precept |
and the recognition Of the great |
ruth that intemperance in the use
If stimulants 2faU kinds is a morbid |
physical fact, both in cause and eff
ect, is, in my Judgment, the proper
view to commence with. Statistics
lbundantly prove that the attempt
I'd suppression by statutes Of the use
# alcoholic stimulants is accompan-
ed by an increase in the use Of
,pjateS; and that open drinking be
NC stopped, secret drinking ensues.
do not believe any man has
greater horror of intemperance than
and my appreciation Of its dang
rs and evil effects grows with my
experience of human affairs; but
he graver the evil the more essen
ial to apply the right principle to
is cure, and for the reasons | have
tated and many oilers, l hope the
of local option will not
,e tried by our Legislature, but in
reased checks under the license
ystem be continued Yours, sin
erely, /. F. BAYARD.
