lows.

Full particulars of the neat bond rob
berry on Saturday at the vaults of the
Cincinnati Safety Deposit Company have
been made public, and the success of the
audacious enterprise has caused quite a
sensation. Mr.. s. II. Burton, the victim
of the robbery, is gentleman of about
sixty, long since retired from business,
occupying beautiful home in Clifton,
Cincinnati's handsomest suburb. He
has lot of bonds and securities lying in
the vaults of the Cincinnati Safety De
post Company under the National La
fayette Bank. On the list of October he
went there to clip the coupons and get
his interest. He took out his box, and
instead of going up stairs into little
private and barred room provided
for such purpose in which to
handle the valuables, he sat down
at desk in the Office of the President of
the bank, where he, as one of the direc-
tors, always feels at home. Soon after
he was seated a very gentlemanly ap-
pearing person came in and engaged the
President, Mr.. Goodwin, in conversation,
saying he wanted to arrange about de-
posting some $50, 600 which he, as guar
dian for some children, held. While he
was talking two other men came to the
door and stepped in. one of them walk
ing up beside Mr.. Burton and inquiring
for the President Mr.. Burton replied
by pointing to the President, who sat at
his right and rather behind him, and
turning his head at the same time in that
direction. BY this time the gentleman
who wanted to arrange about deposit
had about finished his business. He
asked the President if the bank would
buy some bonds of him if he preferred
that to mere deposit, and bowed him.
self out, followed by the other two men,
leaving the President and the director
under the impression that they had been
visited by some very nice gentlemen. A
few minutes later, Mr.. Burton having
pinned together and labelled the pack
age Of coupons which he had just cut
off, reached to the box for another lot
and found that the package of ten 81 900
bonds which he had laid at the top in
the box just before the polite stranger
leaned over in front of him and asked
for the President, was missing. Then
the situation flashed across his mind.
He jumped up and exclaimed: "These
men have robbed me of $4,000" De-
tectives were set to work at once, and
this afternoon, two men giving the
names Of E. Mcleod and F. E. Barker
were arrested at the Grand Hotel, They
claim to live at St. John, N. B.. and to
he attorneys and gentlemen. They told
a straight story and were discharged.
The numbers of the stolen bonds, which
are not registered, have been telegraphed
throughout the country.

Professor Atwater, of the Indiana
University, and his wife were not only
old neighbors and warm personal friends
of President Garfield, but for some
years they were pupils of his at Hiram
College. In 1857 the young Professor
Garfield wrote in the album of the young
lady NOW Mrs. Atwster) the following
lines:
If the treasures of ocean were laid at my
feet,
And its depths were all robbed of their coral
and pearl,
And the diamonds were brought from the
mountains retreat,
And with them were placed all the wealth of
the world
Not silver nor gold, nor the spoils of the sea,
Nor the garlands Of fame that the world
can bestow,
But a purified heart, that from sin Is made
free,
Iwould ask for thee. friend, on thy journey
below. j. A. GARFIELD.

Circumstantisl evidence sometimes
leads to wrong conclusions. One day
last week boarder in a house in Nor
wich, VT, attempted to commit suicide
by shooting himself. The people in the
house heard the report, and rushing to
the room. saw the man lying on the floor
and supposed him to be dead. In the
excitement the pistol was picked up by
some one and hidden away. If the man
had died the fact that the pistol could
not be found would have furnished
strong presumptive evidence that he had
been murdered, and if the custody of the
weapon had been subsequently traced to
the person who carried it of, suspicion
would have been fastened upon him as
the murderer. 1t happened, however,
that the wound was not fatal, and when
the man recovered consciousness he con-
fessed to having shot himself.

Lynching a Murderer.

Special dispatches from Bloomington,
ILL.,, give particulars of the lynching
there Saturday night of Charles Pierce.
the imprisoned horse thief who shot and
killed Jailer Frank while the latter was
conveying him from one cell to another
in the Jail. The dispatches say that
some of the best citizens were in the
front ranks of the lynchers Leading
business men cheered and encouraged
the lynchers, and women waved their
handkerchiefs in appreciation. For two
hours the Sheriff, with all his force, the
police force and other officials, stood at
the jail door and fought and pleaded
with the Infatuated crowd When the muir
deTer was raised the first time officer Bay
ley, of the police force, imperiled his life
by breaking through the crowd and cut

Upon attempting to repeat this act of
bravery he came near being killed. The
officers called out the fire department to
quell the riot by throwing water on the
crowd. When steam engine arrived on

the fire bells called hundreds more to the
scene and added to the excitement.
When lynching was imminent, dispatches
passed between Governor Cullum and
Lieutenant Governor Hamilton, and the
latter was directed by the Governor to
tell the Sheriff to call on the militia to
protect life and property, but it was
known that the militia could not be
assembled. Senator Fifer, formerly
States attorney, and r. B. Porter,
States attorney, did all they could to
quiet the mob, promising that the MUIR

Upon the bench of the United States
Supreme Court there is now but one
Democrat, Mr.. Field. There is, however.
a vacancy for President Arthur to fill,
occasioned by the recent death of Justice
Clifford, Democrat, and there is some
discussion as to whether the President
will nominate Democrat Such nomina-
ton would be a graceful concession to
the popular majority, as well as the
the Democratic Senators upon whose
votes the President will be obliged to
rely for confirmation of whatever stall
wart nominations. he makes to the Sen
ate. But, despite the manifest propriety
of the concession, we entertain no faith
that President Arthur will make it. He

Axnnh Khan,s Defeat.


There has been another turn Of the
wheel Of fortune in Afghanistan, where,
by reason of the fckleness of the people,
no occupant of the throne can ever feel
secure and no claimant have good reason
to despair. 1t is but little while ago
that the Ameer was flying before Ayoob
Khan, treachery and bad management
having given his rival decisive victory.
But the world had scarcely made up its
mind to the retirement of Abdurrhaman
beyond the Hindu-Kush and the ABSORB
ton of his provinces into the Russian
empire before the news came that he
was by no means disposed to realize the
prophecies of the newspapers, and was
advancing south upon Candahar with a
large and growing army, while his
lately victorious rival, Ayoob, in
active and unpopular, was await
ing certain defeat The jealousies Of
the various tribes gave the latter his vic
tory in the last campaign, and to the
same cause he must ascribe his defeat in
the engagement which, according to a
dispatch to the London Times, took place
on the 22d ult. The fighting on this &C
casion seems to have been without deci-
sive result until the front line of Ayoob's
army, composed of Ghazis and Canda-
harris, was fired on by his rear lIue, elm
posed of Cabulis, whereupon the Ghazis
and Candaharis fled, and two Herati
regiments went over to the enemy. Were
it profitable to speculate upon Afghanis-
tan matters, this desertion might be held
to argue ill for Ayoob, inasmuch as it is
upon Herat he has been counting as a
place of refuge in case of defeat. He
should not lose heart, however, since in
his country only the successful have
anything to fear.
