The Dreaded James Brothers.
81. LONE Republtcnn.

o. LOUIS hepUOttCuH.
The home and rendezvous of the
James boys for many years past has been
within fifteen miles of BardstOwn, in
Nelson county, Kentucky, on the forks of
Salt river, in a heavily wooded region,
surrounded by rocky hills barred by steep
ravines. Although within fifty miles Of
Louisville, the outlaws are perfectly Sc
cure in their retreat, and they made for
it after each raid. There their horses
were trained, their booty divided, and
they were surrounded by friends, who
punished an intruder with death and kept
up system of guards extending to
Louisville. Any sign of a detective
campaign was promptly reported to
the James partners. Don Penz, Sheriff
of the district, owed his life to
the James boys during the war,
and he would never 90 back on them.
The wife of Jesse James brought her
children and took up her quarters last
summer at Don PENIS house, where she
was recognized, and then disappeared
from the neighborhood about four DAYS
before the Winston train robbery. Short
ly after the train robbery on the Chicago
and Rock Island Road, in last July,
party consisting of the James boys, John
Jarrett, Ed Millen, Jim Cummings and
a man named Leith, were seen moving
toward the Bardstown hills. Captain
Bligh, Chief of the Louisville detective
force, was posted on these matters, and
on the 22d of August was told that the
gang were in the Salt River Hills. con-
templating the robbery of the pay
train coming from Louisville to pay
The workmen on the extension from
Taylorville to Bloomfield. The tracks
were laid as far as Smileytown, not far
from which some armed men-the James
gang-were seen asleep in the woods.
Captain Bligh determined to SGT a trap,
and pay car was attached to the pas
senger train the following day. In it
were placed fifteen armed men from the
Louisville force, and the train steamed
down to the end of the track and await.
ed the robbers. They, however, had
been warned, and watched the train from
the hill tops. The mission failed of its
purpose, and the armed force returned
to Louisville. The gang, becoming con-
WINGED that it was unsafe to remain in
the immediate vicinity, disappeared. 1t
is believed that Governor Critteuden had
knowledge of many of the facts detailed
in this account prior to his interview
here with the railroad officials, which
resulted in the offering OF the large re-
ward some months ago

Radical alias StalWart.
American Register

The word radical seems to have been
dropped from the vocabulary of the
Republican party, and the word StaIsoGrt
substituted. Radicalism having been
discovered to be that ruthless spirit Of
aggression which In religion burned the
martyrs at the stake, and in politics
established the guillotine in France and
at various times defeated the best efforts
of man for good government, has been,
nominally at least, discarded; and stall
wartism, now in vogue, is simply brusk-
ness and recklessness in error-verily,
the iackass in the lions skin.
But Guiteau, on shooting the Presi-
dent, proclaimed himself the "StGyl0Grt Of
staLaoarts." Here stalwartism was actu-
ally enacted, and Guiteau having shown
in himself the highest type of the actual
stalwart, is certainly entitled to stand as
the hero of such political ruffianism.

A party of English capitalists, repre-
senting a syndicate, who have for some
time been travelling in Colorado and Ten
nessee, are now taking look at the coal
fields in the Hooking and Sunday Creek
valleys, Ohio, with view Of purchasing
large tracts and gaining control of the
bulk of such property in that part of the
State. With a view of making a thor

coal fields the party is accompanied by
Prof. James L. Morse, one of the most
experienced and scientific mining engi-
neers in the country 1t is understood
that the chief representative of the syn
dictate is backed up with 500, 600, 900,
and that this amount is seeking invest
ment in America Prof. Morse is said to
be well pleased with his investigation,
and, it is intimated. will report favorably
upon the Hooking and other coal fields
as compared with others.

The Won Steubens, our German visi-
tors to Yorktown, have been making a
tour of the Western cities, where they
have been received and feted by the Ger
man societies. The Won Steubens do
not know word of English, but they
know exactly what TO say when called
on for speech. Colonel Won
Steuben had few remarks to make at
Cincinnati the other day, during which
he declared that America was land of
wonders. The American militia were
splendid-they surprised him-and the
German military authorities had learned
much from this country, particularly in
tactics and field fertilization. The
American people were well behaved; he
was surprised at the fact that no police
were required to keep order; at the cul-
tivation of the lower classes here, and
the beauty of our women. And he then
closed his speech with little more
"taffy" about Cincinnati, its greatness,
its manufactures, and its Music Hall.
This is the kind Of visitor the Americans
like to receive.

The Magazines for November.

ApDletOn's Journal for November is
filed with the usual variety of enter
tanning and instructive articles from
some of the ablest writers of the country.
The present number opens with the sec
ond part of can Adventure in the Phil
lippine Islands" which is quite clever,
and concludes also 1.-The Saints and
Sinners of Cherbuliez," which is undeni-
ably so. Rambles Among Books
treats of the esssyists. Two very pleas
ant papers are "Recollections of George
Borrow" whose character is sufficiently
novel to be interesting, and "Mr. Gina
bue Brown on the Defensive" Mr.
Cimabue Brown may be said to be more
lifelike than life-the one modern social
character in London as real as the Mons.
Joseph Prudhomme of Paris.
The frontispiece to the November
number of The Century (Scribner's Month
Iy) is an engraved portrait of the great
novelist, George Eliot, from a crayon
drawn from life. ga Diligence Journey
in Mexico" and ''In the Footsteps of
Fortuny and Regnault" present pleasing
sketches of life and scenery in Mexico
and Morocco. "Christophe" is q poetic
tribute of Stedman's to the bold betrayer
of the famous Toussaint l. Overture.
''To Missal of the Thirteenth Century"
and when the True Poet Comes" by
Austin Dobson and Richard W. Glider,
are poems of merit. "Ph9be," by
James Russell Lowell, Is one of
the finest gems in our recent literature.
Around Cape Ann" Costumes in the
Greek Play at Harvard" and "The So
called Venus of Melos" are rich in illus
trations of marine scenery, Greek an
tiuuities and art. ga Curious Expert
ence, by Mark Twain, and cell" by the
author of the Village Convict, " are
each well drawn and pleasing sketches.
The number contains the opening chap
tiers Of Through One Administration,
by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, and
several interesting articles on various
timely topics. as well as Fred Douglass
story of his escape from slavery, and an
appendix giving a sketch of the rise and
work of Scribner's.
With the November number st. NichO-
las enters upon the ninth year of its pub
LEGATION. 1t is in every respect, whether
for the charm of its stories and the va
riety of attractions its letter press pre-
sents, or for the beauty and aptness of
its illustrations, what child's magazine
should be. There is no other magazine
of the kind equal to it either in this
country or abroad, and the best evidence
of its merits is the remarkable and wide
spread popularity it has acquired in both
hemispheres.
''lSt. Nicholas" IN two volumes, for
the year ending OH the 1st of November,
1881, has just been published. In these
volumes are comprised the whole of the
letter.pre and illustrations of the
monthly numbers for the past year
They show, in comparison with preced-
ing volumes, not only no falling off, but
a steady improvement. Handsomely
bound and we'll printed, they form one
of the most seasonable and enjoyable
presents that could be given to children.

ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
Address of Prof. RileY--The Cotton
Worm aud How To ExteFmI.
nate If.

Prof. Riley, entomOlOgist, delivered an
address at the Judges Hall on Friday to
a small audience, which should have
been listened to by five thousand practi-
cal farmers. The address treated of the
best modes of exterminating the cotton
worm before the insect reached sufficient
size to destroy both the plant and the
fruit Prof. Riley stated that the moth
deposited eggs on an under portion of
the leaf, which Matched out in from two
to four days. The location of the egg
was defined by the appearance of small
semi-yellowish blotch. To the eggs, as
well as to the worm in its early stages,
poison must be applied, so as to kill the
insect before it was large enough to do
harm.
He said that from 1865 to 1880 fifteen
million dollars had been lost by the raw
ages of the caterpillar in the cotton
fields of the South. In 1878 he dis
covered that paris green mixed with
water and sprinkled on the worm when
first Matched would destroy the insect.
Soon thereafter Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, assisted by others, succeeded
in getting an appropriation from Con-
gress to defray the expenses of con-
tinuing the study of the subject so
important to the farming interests
of the South. The expense of prepa-
ration for destroying the insect
was not more than six to ten cents per
acre. The liquid, he said, should be ap-
piled with a nozzle that would make it
fall upon the leaves in the shape of
spray. London purple, half pound to
forty gallons of water. was firstrate
remedy, to be applied the same way as
the other plan suggested. He stated that
an experimental patch of cotton on the
Exposition grounds of about three acres
could have been saved from entire de-
struction by the caterpillar, at cost of
not more than a dollar and half, in two
hours.
In answer to what would be the effect
of poisoned leaves eaten by stock, Mr..
Warner, of Texas, stated that he knew
of an instance where several mules had
remained pastured all night in a cotton
field to which poison had been applied
without being made sick. He also cited
an incident of negro eating large pieces
of watermelon that had fallen into a
bucket of the preparation without harm
or injury.
The safest remedy for both man and
beast, he believed, was London purple,
and he would advise that it be applied
when it could be had, while at the same
time he considered paris green a good
remedy for the same trouble. The same
preparation, he said, would kill other
kinds of insects if applied to the plant
upon which they were feeding.

The Rise in HOu sehOld Supplies In
New York.

The steady rise in the price of house
hold supplies is becoming a serious mat
ter. Prices of nearly every article of
consumption have almost doubled
Flour, for instance, has advanced from
So 30 to So so per barrel last year to
81 so and SO 80 this. Potatoes, which
last year ranged from 81 to 81 81 per
barrel, have been selling the past week
for from 50 rs to So 25. Beans are sell
ing at from So 30 to So 55 per bushel,
against from 81 90 to 81 So last year
Apples, which last fall sold at from 81
to 81 so a barrel, are now selling at from
SO 80 to 81. Cranberries have risen
from So to So rs per barrel to from So
to $40. In garden truck" there is a
great scarcity in the supply, and cab
bages are being imported from Germa-
ny and other countries and sold for
from Sc to $40 per hundred, against So
or SO year ago. These advances are
not caused by any corner or combina-
ton, but are merely the result of the
long drought. The housekeepers' out
look for the coming winter is decidedly
far from pleasant. -Nelo York Express.

Mr.. Labouchere, who has gained con-
siderable reputation in England as a
writer. and who now sits in Parliament
as member for Nottingham, suggests.a
political scheme that will put an end to
the troubles in Ireland and give Great
Britain a much better form of govern
ment He proposes that there should be
three local Parliaments in England, Ire
land and Scotland to administer the
local affairs of these countries, and an
imperial Parliament to attend to all
national and international affairs. This,
he insists, would satisfy the Irish, and
he is probably right in this, as Mr.. Sui
Ivan, oneof the leaders Of the League, is
strongly in favor of the same plan. If
England had adopted tins system cen
fury ago it might have preserved its
American colonies. and by adopting it
today it may yet save Ireland.

Governor Bigelow of Connecticut
says of the suit which was made for him
at the Atlanta Exposition: THAT coat
was made in a day. The cotton was
growing in the morning, and was re-
ceiving in it in the evening. 1t was
brought to me at Governor Colquitt's
mansion two miles outside the city of
Atlanta. You couldn't tell it from
broadcloth in the evening, but of course
in the day time and under a close in
spection, it looks rough and shows its
true character" 1t has coarse but not
unseemly appearance, and is lined with
silk. The vest was made of sort
of basket cloth pattern. 1t is colorless
and of the regular reception style 1t is
backed and lined with an elegant pattern

permit delay are under observation.
