A Vermont Freight Clerk Tells a
Cock-and-Bull Story to Steal
$500.

Burlington Dispatch to the Boston Herald.
Early this morning a report came that
Henry Douglass, clerk in the Central
Vermont freight Office at Essex junction,
had been knocked down by two men as
he was preparing to close the office the
other night and robbed of $500. His
story was that one of the men struck him
so violently that he was knocked sense
less, and when he came to, an hour and
half later, he found himself tied hand
and foot and the money gone. He then
went, to the telegraph office and notified
the operator, and word was passed all
along the line and all trains searched for
the two robbers. The circumstances
were so suspicious and Douglass stories
so conflicting that there was some doubt
expressed, and on investigation it was
found that the wound on Douglass head
was not of such character as would knock
a man senseless, and on being closely
pressed he confessed that his story was
merely an attempt to defraud the rail-
road. of $500. All the money was recov-
cred except about $75, which Douglass is
trying to make up. Douglass accounts
are now being examined. He has been
connected with the road for five or six
years, but until lately has been switch
man only. He is about forty years. .of
age. No criminal proceedings have been
commenced, and, singularly enough,
Douglass, who was chief clerk, is still in
charge of the office.

From FO1ei01a Lands.

In the house of commons John Bright
said that it was obvious that the condition
of Ireland was made greatly worse by sub
scriptions raised in America, and by those
persons who came from America to partici-
pate in conspiracies. He did not hesitate to
say that those subjects of the queen who had
taken part in the Chicago convention were
traitors to the crown. The object of clause
twelve of the repression bill was, he said, to
prevent conspirators of the very worst dye
from exciting the people to disorder. Sexton
warned the government that the feelings gen.
Grated among Irishmen driven as aliens from
their careers of industry must cause trouble
to Great Britain at no distant date. The
clause was carried-l32 to so.
Mr.. Scarlet, the representative of the Dub
lin Freeman's Journal and several other
Irish newspapers, is at present in Ottawa, ell
route for the Northwest. He intends writ
ing series of letters to the newspapers, with
a view to placing before the Irish people his
views of the claims which Canada presents
as field for Irish immigration. He thinks
it possible that with proper effort consider
able emigration from the country i'll ques-
ton might be secured.
G.. O. Trcvelyan, chief secretary for Ire
land, in opposing various limitations to
right of search, appealed to members to ex-
pedite the repression bill. Every day, he
said, give the Irish executive fresh reason
with regard to the position of the country
with deep and increasing anxiety and added
seriously to the responsibility of those who
prolonged the discussion.

The Tariff Commission Filled at Last.

The president sent to the senate on FRIDAY
the following nominations, to be members of
the tariff commissions: John L. HAYES of
Massachusetts,, chairman; Henry w. Oliver
Jr., Pennsylvania; Austin Mcfarland, Illi-
nois; Jacob Amber, Ohio; Robert P. Porter,
District of Columbia; John w. HI. Under
wood, Georgia; Duncan F. Kenner, Louisiana;
Alexander r. Boteler, West Virginia VIM.
H. Mcmahon, New York. The nomination
of Mcmahon and Boteler were refer
ance committee the others having
been previously confirmed. MacMahon, is
now employed in the appraisers Office of the
New York custom house, and was selected
because of his knowledge of the present tariff
| laws. MacMahon is said to owe his appoint
ment to the presidents personal knowledge
of LIS attainments and of his peculiar fitness
for ths position. In politics he is republi-
| can. Boteler, the other newly selected COM
| missioner, is resident of Charlestown, w.
| Va, said to be a gentleman of means and
| liberal culture and is not identified with any
| special interests other than those of agricul-
| ture. He was highly recommended tothe pres
| ident by both senators from West Virginia,
as well as by Senator Hawley of Connecti-
| cut. Boteler is a conservative democrat and
known to favor tariff for revenue He is
about sixty years of age There is consider
able dissatisfaction with the commission,
arising foom the belief that a majority ol
| the members represent class interest which
may be affected by the investigation, and
that anything like unity of action will be
impossible. Perhaps the outcome NAV be
better than anticipated. !.

AWestern Obituary.
n the Laramie Boomerang.

From the Laramie Boomerang.
Night before last, without word OF
warming, Calamity Pease, aged Is years,
passed into the realm of the beyond.
Calamity will be remembered by our
citizens as the almost constant compan-
ion of Judge Pease, the editor of our
evening contemporary. We noticed
yesterday that he did not call us q putrid
liar, as has been his won't, and we knew
that something was wrong. Later we
found the following breif tribute to the
deceased:
'Mr. Pease's little dog, Calamity, died
last night, probably from old age, as 1t
was between Is and IA years old, and has
been in the family from the time OF its
birth"
While we bow to the inevitable de-
cree which has robbed us of Calamity,
we should remember that our loss Is his
Tor hers, as the case may be,) eternal
gain. Calamity is no more. He (or she,
as the case may be,) will not meet us on
the sidewalk, and let us fall over him
Tor her, as the case may be,) as was the
case heretofore. Judge Pease is now
left with only one large dog and his fam
lily. The day may soon come when he
will have no one to love but his family.
The big dog who lies in front of the
Times door and eats the remains of dead
animals, and socially throws everybody
down who tries to get in the door, Will
soon pass away, and the judge will be
left with no Joy put the blessed rest ana
mental relaxation of writing his deep,
abstruse and harmless editorials.

Their graves BeyOn: the Sea.

When Mr.. Bret Harte, now our consul
at Glasgow. visited the island of Iona q
few months since, he found, in the grave
yard OF the ruined cathedral, the burial
place of nineteen sailors Of the American
ship Guy Manncring, which was wrecked
there in December, 1865. The spot where
they are inferred, says Mr.. Harte
in bis report to the state department.
sis marked by two rows Of low granite
pediments at the head and feet of the dead,
supporting and connected by an iron
chain, which enclOses the whole space.
This was done by the order and at the ex-
Iensc of the lord Of the manor, the pres
ent Duke Of Argyll. The locality is pic
turesque and historical. The graves of
the American seamen lie side by side with
the tombs and sculptured effigins of ancient
Scottish kings. A record of the names,
ages and burial Of these men is kept 10y

memorial upon the stone enclosure. The
fact of their burial there and the story of
the generosity Of the distinguished noble
men is learned only from the lips of hired
guides" The state department has direct
ed Mr. Harte to convey to the Duke Of
Argyll the thanks of the president for his
generosity, and that suitable stone bear
ing the names of the deceased is to be
erected by the government of the United
States over the graves of those hapless
