MIDNIGHT MYSTERY; WAS IT MURDER OR
ACCIDENT ?-ACCIDENT TO A RAILROAD OFF,
CER-PRoPOSED CONFEDERATE MONUMENT
POIsONERS TRIAL.
ICorrespondence of the Richmond Distatch.l
MAY 7, 1881.
The inquest held yesterday afternoon over
the remains of Ambrose Shepherd, the young
man from Sawyer's, Campbell, whose dead
body was found under the junction bridge,
failed TO elicit any decisive information in
regard to the manner OF bis death, and the
tragedy was left wrapped in its original
mystery. The two young men who were
arrested on suspicion admitted having been
with the deceased until the hour when the
train left; and the manner in which they
all three spent the night might very well
account for any subsequent accident
TO any Of them. The testimony Of the
pby sicians- Clarke and Siaugh-
ler-fayored The theory that Shepherd
might have fallen over the bridge and been
thrown into the position in which he was
found by the rotation OF bis body while de-
scending. The jury returned verdict that
the deceased came TO his end by means I'M
known, and the suspected parties were dis
charged Though the mystery is regarded
as still unexplained. it is not thought that
any suspicion ought to attach to Shepherds
companions.
Mr.. b. s. Barbour, general freight and
ticket agent ol the Richmond and Ale

city in consequence of a rather severe and
disabling accident suffered by him few
nights ago on the Chesapeake and Ohio

A HindeO Throat Flute.

Some singular scientific wonders turn
out to have been known great while.
Here is something almost as queer as
Professor Thomas Edison photograph;
The Hindoos have a number of mu-
steal instruments, some of which claim
a high antiquity; but there is one which
is extremely curious. not so much from
its form or structure as from the fact
that it is played neither with the mouth
nor an air-bag nor with strings nor by
striking. 1t consists of two small silver
trumpets, with very delicate appa-
ratus within. There are no holes as in
a flute. When the Prince of Wales was
in India, the Baboo Kally Prosonno
Bannerjee played on these Instruments
before him and excited the greatest in
terest, completely puzzling all to con-
ceive how he really produced the
sounds, for he did not place the mouth
of the trumpet to his lips but to his neck.
Some thought him ventriloquist, and
that the trumpets were merely used to
create a false impression. 1t proved,
however, that the variations OF sound
were produced by the variation in the
quantity of air propelled through by
the pulsations of the neck, being great
err or less according to the pressure of
the mouthpiece. Nothing could be
more curious than to see the performer
and 20 hear the soft musical sounds
that issued from the silver trumpets.-

The Men Who Succeed.

The great difference among men OF
all callings is the energy of character or
the want of it. Given the same amount
oflearning and integrity, and the same
opportunities, and energy will make one
man conqueror. The want of it will
see the other failure.
Dead-beats are all men without force.
They had as good chance as any OF
their companions Others went ahead
and carried off the prizes while thew
were lying by the way-side dispirited
and Respondent. 1t takes nerve, vim,
perseverance, patient continuance in
we'll doing to win a great prize. And
the young man who goes into a profess
sion without this pluck and force will
not earn salt to his porridge. He will
drag through life with the help of
friends, getting some credit with them
for being well-meaning man. in deli
cate health and unlucky. The real
trouble is, he lacks energy.
This is just as true of the minister as
of the lawyer or the physician. Piety
is notenough and piety with much learn
ing is not enough. All the Greek and
Hebrew in the world will not qualify a
man for usefulness in the ministry. II

The developments of Professionalism
in Japan is indicated by the fact that a
Conference of churches was held in
Kioto, Japan, in May, at which sixteen

the audience. The Conference was re-
