A Daring Robbery.

TREATY, Ind, April 29.-About O'Clock last
night four masked men entered the Cincinnati
Wabash and Michigan Railway Depot here which
is also used a store. The agent and grain buyer
George Walgamuth, was ordered by one of the
gang TO keep still, using as authority a big re-
volver. They bound and gagged him and com
menced TO blow open the safe. which proved sue
cessful, their charge blowing it to pieces. They
abstracted $500 in currency and fed, leaving
Walgamuth to be released by his friends, who
were aroused by his screams. There is no clue tc

DILLoN's SPEECH.

DUBLIN. May 2-When the train arrived
at Kingsbridge Station to-day, posse OF
police was there, it is believed, with war
rant for the arrest OF Dillon, but he was
not on board. 1t is thought he stopped at
Waterford and took the steamer for Milford,
and will appear in the Commons tonight.
Dillon's speech in Tipperary last evening
was one of the bitterest and most uncom-
promising he has made He advised the
people to keep within the law, not
because he respected it. but for the sake of
preserving their organization. They must
exercise their ingenuity to sail as close TO
the line as possible.
DILLON ARRESTED.
John Dillon was arrested at $50 this
evening, at Port Arlington, on his way to
Dublin.
Dillon was arrested in a railway tram
upon a warrant dated April 80, charging him
with inviting persons TO forcibly oppose and
resist the execution of Processes of law for
giving possession of land and to riot and
assault. On his arrival at Dublin he was
taken to Kilmainham Jail in cab. There
was not the slightest attempt at popular
demonstration on the arrival of Dillon at
Dublin, but few persons being present. The
warrant for the arrest of Brennan is already
made out.

THE FARMER FEEDETH ALL.
BY CHARLES @. LELAND.

My lord rides through his palace gate,
My lady sweeps along in state,
The sage thinks long on many thing,
And the maiden muses. on marrying;
The minstrel harpeth merrily,
The sailor plows the foaming sea,
The huntsman kill the good red deer,
And the soldier wars without fear;
But fall to each whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith hammcreth cheerily the sword,
Priest preacheth pure and holy word,
Dame Alice worketh broidery WE'LL
Clerk Richard tales of love can tell,
The tap-wiie sells her foaming beer,
Dan fisher fishes in the mere,
And courtiers ruffle, strut and shine,
While pages bring the Gascon wine;
But fall to each whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Man builds his castles fair and high,
Whatever river runneth by,
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,
Great arches, monuments and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work is done, bet here and there,
And well man worketh everywhere;
But work or rest, whate'er beiall,
The farmer he must feed them all.

Headed Girls,

A lady correspondent, who ought to
know, writes from Now York TO say that
red-headcd girls are all the rage. Those
who have fiery heads by nature now ac-
count themselves lucky. Lemon blondes
have lost their grip, and black heads join
them in envying the reds. Red hair is
attainable, but with considerable trouble.
for bleaching must BIO followed by dye
ing, and tho process requires frequent
repetition Moreover, the peculiar ON
plexion that usually accompanies rcd hair
cannot be stimulated, It has a clear,
paid hue, for groundwork (and this
might by itself be counterfeited, } but on
it appear pale, redish freckles, and to
paint them in would be too delicate op-
Grafton TO undertake. Red hair is be-
coming common on the street and in
public assomblages, but the the real is
so easily distinguished from the false
that the fashion is not likely to last long.
In the matter Of hairdressing, while il
is no longer correct to wear the hair
high on the head and in voluminous
pufs, braids and frizzes, as was fashion,
able only year ago, il is nevertheless
evident that the close. fiat style of Golf
fure is going out of date. Curls and
loops are added from week TO week, and
gradually we are returning to the elabo-
rate style of Undressing. which is really
the only one suitable for the complicated
details Of the general toilet Of to-day.
When dono in red hair, the business is
effective. Women with red hair are
called "rossas." When attired with

Wealth and Meanness.

mental testimony the meanness of its
possessor. | knew two neighbors, old
Californians, who had about equal for
tunes They we're both old settlers,
both rich, and both much respected. In
that fearful year, 1852, when the dying
and destitute immigrants literally crawl
ed on hands and knees over the Sierra
trying to reach the settlements, one Of
these men drove all his cattle up to the
mountains, butchered them, and fed the
starving. He had his Mexicans pack
all tho mules with -four, which at that
time cost almost its weight in gold, and
push on night and day over the noun
tains to meet the strangers there and
feed them, so that they might have
strength to reach his house, where they
could have shelter and rest. The other
man. cold and cautious, saw his oppor-
tunity aud embraced it. He sat at home
and sold all his wheat and mules and meat,
and with the vast opportunities for turn
ing money TO account 10 that new coun-
try, soon became almost q prince in for
tune. But his generous neighbor died
bcggar in Idaho, where he had gone

literally had not money enough to buy
shroud, and as he died among strangers
by the roadside, he was buried without

Solicitations.


With us the usual modes of salutation
consist in shaking hands, removing the
hat or courtesying, accompanying the
action with the words, ''TIow do you
dc? 2" or How are you? Hand shak-
ing takes its rise in the ancient custom Of
enemies seizing each other by the right or
weapon hand to guard against treachery
while treating of truce. The removal
of the hat is relic of the old custom of
putting by the helmet when no danger
was apprehended, as if one would say
Il dare stand unprotected in your pres
euce.' Women formerly knelt before
men of rank to plead for mercy. and
later to acknowledge inferiorty. From
this we get the courtesy.

ROCKVILLE. MARYLAND FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 25 1881.

James Bowie lay for months in his
bed, in the city of Natohez before he re-
covered from his wound. He was man
of mechanical ingenuity, and while thus
confined whitfield from piece of white
pine tho model of hunting knife, which
he sent to two brothers. named Black
man, in the city Of Natchcz, and told
them to spare no expense in making
duplicate of it in steel. This was the
origin Of the dreaded bowie-knife. It
was made from large sawmill file and
its temper afterwards improved upon by
Arkansas blacksmith. This is oil that
can be told about the origin of that
death dealing implement Since James
Bowie became somewhat prominent in
his efforts to advance the spread of re-
publican institutions it is proper to speak
Of what he did. He seemed to have
natural disposition to protect the weak
from the strong. At one time he was
riding through tho parish of Concordia,
La, and saw man lashing his slave
with his whip. He told the man to de-
sist, but he was met with curses. He
dismounted from his horse, wrested the
whip from the master and laid it over
his shoulders This led to a shooting
match in which the slave-owner was
badly wounded. Bowie, after submit
ting himself to the law, paid the doc
tors bill purchased the slave at double
bis value and gave him his freedom.
This singular and fearless man de-
voted his life to the achievement of
Texan independence. He was modest,
and never sought place or position.
With Travis and Crockett he fell in de-
tending the Alamo. At the time of the
assault on the fort he was stricken with
fever. He had loaded weapons brought
to him in his little room in the fort, and
as he lay upon his bed be discharged
them at every Mexican who darkened
the narrow door. This is the testimony
of Mrs. Dickinson and colored man,
who were the only human beings who
escaped. Over the fate of these three
men patriotism will drop a tear and
memory mourn their loss as long as
generous feeling and free government
exist. San Francisco Chronicle.
