Haunted bY His Crime.

The following striking example of the
state of murderer's heart, with its
ceaseless memory and perpetual self-ac-
cusation, brings forcibly to mind the
words of Webster: "a vulture is de-
vouring it, and it can ask no human as
sistance or sympathy" The case is
that of Martin Battles, of Charlotte, N.
Y, who twenty years ago shot and
killed Cornelius Lynch.
He was tried and convicted of murder
in the first degree, and sentenced to one
wear in the Auburn penitentiary, and
then to he hanged. His case was
brought before the Court of Appeals.
The court decided that the act of the
Legislature was unconstitutional, and
Battles was set at liberty. He enlisted
in the Union army, and served through
the late war. He then returned. He
declared that he was constantly haunted
bv the presence of the man he had killed,
and he was sorry that the sentence OF the
law had not been carried out. He en-
deayored to have himself plac ID on trial
again, hoping that he would be recon

1t is probable that few people are
aware how definite and lucrative pro-
fession is that of the regular beggar. In
many cases it is hereditary calling,
like that of Homerids, or epic singers OF
Chios, or the Aslepiads, or healers of
Cos. An acquaintance of the writer's
happened the other night to light upon
a member of the profession who was re-
freshing himself in public house. He
was stout middle-aged man, apparent
ly in good case. 81 never did day

asker" is, it seems, the pleasing
euphemism by which this band of the
leisured class is accustomed to designate
itself in private life. A lady of our &c
quaintance asked brisk young parlor
maid, who had given her notice as being
about to be married, "What is the en-
ployment of your husband that is to
be "He is an asker, ma'am," was
the reply. But what is an asker ?''
Further questions were rather put aside,
but it turned out that by an "asker y

young lady had a strong belief, which
was probably justified by the result
that an "asker would be able to sup.

Hugo Grundei, a young Viennese shop
man, being without employment, heavily
in debt, and absolutely .impecunious,
made up his mind TO enjoy one hearty
meal and then to quit the world. He
therefore betook himself to Zogernitz's
restaurant, in the Shottengasse, and or
dered sumptuous repast. He spent
nearly two hours ut the table, during
which time he consumed golasch with
dumplings, dishful of stewed kidneys,
huge black pudding, an entire portion
of praised beef, four small loaves, quart
of lager beer, and three pints of claret.
When he had finished this meal, he care
fully folded up his napkin, laid it on the
table beside his empty plate, drew a re-
volver out Of his breast pocket, and, set
ting the muzzle of the weapon against
his left breast, shot himself through the
heart.

Dissipated Dogs.

OF all the rakes whose principal pleas
ure is to turn night into day, none are
more inveterate noctambulists than two
characters well-known to that portion of
Paris society which repairs during the
small hours to Peters, the Helder, &c,
for supper and gay converse. The hard
ened of extreme wooliness, and non
descript, who is generally clothed round
like blanket with mud, as Sancho Pan
20 was with sleep. This pair of con-
slant comrades lead an existence of the
most regular irregularity. Every night
at about twelve they may be seen, al
ways quite masterless, lounging about
the boulevards and earnestly seeking for
some person with the air of noctambu-
list, till, having made choice with much
deliberation, they follow their victim like
his shadow until he has reached some res
taurant with intent to sup. If the canine
confidence is misplaced, and the passer-
by goes soberly home, these registering
blades, the dogs, make they way along
up the broad marble staircases of Peters
where, being well known to the frequent
ers of that establishment, they are cor
daily received, and piled with all the
delicacies of the festive board. At the
hour of two they disappear from Peters,
turning up moment afterward at the
Helder, on the other side of the boule-
ward, and they top off the evenings ex-
element mt distant all-night establish
ment near the central market, Barratte's
by name. When the light of early
morning peeps in upon the scene of their
revels, they disappear with the last of
the night birds and are beheld no more
till a. m has again come round. Those
who have made the personal acquaint-
ance of this remarkable pair state that
their grave enjoyment for their nightly
dissipation is most edifying to witness,
and that their general demeanor reminds
one strongly of that character in novel
by Murger, we believe, whose pure and
pntriarchal face was never seen but at
some pot-house in the deepest hours of
the night, beaming complacently at the
drunken jewellers around him.

IL Went Up.

There is n man in this city who once
lost $40, 600 through twist of the Eng
lish language. He was then resident
of California, and San Francisco was
wild with excitement over mines. The
"Blue Ledge" was then blooming.
Shares had gone to thirty times their
face value, and brokers reaped golden
harvest. At length, almost within an
hour, "Blue Ledge" began to drop, and
it went down-or rather the shares did
over 200 per cent. before there was a
breathing spell. At this crisis the New
Yorker went to broker and asked:
"What is your candid opinion about
Blue Ledger"
81 think it will go up" was the
prompt reply.
"When?"
"Well, within fortnight"
The would-be buyer knew OF stocks
for sale. and before night his entire for
tune had been invested. Quotations re-
manned the same for two or three days,
and then "Blue Ledge" shares, $40 each,
fell to ten per cent, of their face value
The New Yorker rushed to the broker in
CONSERVATION, and gasped out:
Didn't you tell me that Blue Ledge
was sure to &C up?"

an inmate of that institution, and i'm
AGNES that his victim is always present
in his cell for the purpose of hooking

The early settlers of Kentucky had to
work hard andsfght often with the In
dams. Their holidays were few, but
whenever men met some sort of "a physi-
cal contest was the amusement of the
occasion. A Methodist minister, who
lived in Kentucky at the beginning of
this century, tells of curious sport he
once witnessed--a battle with fire. brands
for weapons.
He and hundred other stalwart set
tiers were engaged in opening road
through the forest. 1t was good-nat-
ured, POLLY company. The men worked
hard all day. At night they sat round
: blazing fires of huge hickory logs and
told stories of hunting bear and deer and
fighting Indians.
One night the story-tellers seemed TO
have exhausted their yarns. The men
seemed nervous for some new excitement.
Suddenly one gave q war whoop. A
score of yells answered. Every one
sprang to his feet.
Two Captains were chosen, and the
men told off in two companies. Each
man seized burning brand and the bat
tie began. There was but one rule of
war-no brand should be thrown with
out fire upon it, SO that it might be seen
and lodged.
For two hours the battle continued in
perfect good nature. But, as the fires
became low, burning brands grew scarce.
The rule was broken and some were Sc
verely wounded. The battle in play was
beginning to be fight in earnest.
Then came out the perfection of the
discipline they had acquired in Indian
wars. The loud voices of the Captains
cried "Haltp Each man dropped his
brand. "To camp I" and in few min
utes the whole company, save the senti-
nels, were between their blankets"

Fees of Doctors.

The fee Of doctors is AN item that very many
persons are interested in just at present. We
believe the schedule for visits il $500, which
would tax man confined to his bed for year,
and in need Of a daily visit, over $1,000 year
for medical attendance alone And one single
bottle of Hop Bitters taken in time would save
the 81, 900 and all the years sickness.

A Breaker ia one who breaks.
There are many kinds of Breakers,
Promise Breakers; So Breakers;
Heart Breakers they don't kill any
bodyl; Breakers; Sabbath
Breakers; House Breakers, and fell
lows who break and run.
The hornet is breaker. One hor-
net that is feeling good can break up
q crowd faster than the report of
dog fight can bring it together. The
mule is breaker by circumstances
over which he has no control. He is
subject to cramps in his legs. Ifyou
are standing near when he breaks
the cramp, he can't hold himself re-
sponsible if he breaks your Jaw bone.

The frequency of their flying up
wards is conclusive that they were
intended to he on top. There is one
thing q mule can't brcak--his own
mock Then there's breakers on the.
railroad. The roads are so wealthy
they pay men wages just to brake
their cars. They would rather brake
them than to give them to anybody.
Some men are very reckless. The
other day man .said he'd like to SEQ
the Senate break. The Senate. you.
know, is big wagon which they
have in Washington to haul around,
bald headed men of the Nation.
They are little crowded and won't
allow but two from each State at
|'time, ride in it. Well sirs, they
were taking drive towards the Port,
of New York to see about leasing the
building to man by the name of
Robertson. Some didn't want Rob-
ertson, rs they thought he wouldn't
keep it in MS good repairs as some
others they knew. Conkling thought
the vehicle was going little too fast
and Conkling was the BOSS" driver
of the whole crowd. So he throwed
dead lock- ON the hind wheel.
BY doing this he made the wagon
run two or three weeks longer. But
something scared the horses and
caused them to run out over some
rough road. conkling held on like
o whitehead, but the rubber few up
and struck him and he has since been
very feeble with severe attack Of
resigning.

There is such tendency, to break
things that it has led to tie doctrine,
of "thc survival of the fightest."

nearly one hundred of the best Biblical

considered by all to be one of the
greatest events of modern times. It
embraces the additional textual light
that has been gained in the last two
hundred and seventy years, and also
what has been gained from the twenty
seven or more different manuscripts of
the Bible now extant. What it is, is
put in nut shell by the New York
