The Western Mans Return.

What man is there who, after stay
in the west Of ten or dozen years, did
not go back to his old home in the east
with great anticipations OF pleasure?
He dreamed of it for months before
starting, and he made careful prepara-
tions to make the stay at the "old
place a long one. He called to mind
the Jims, and Toms, and Susies, and
Marys ofhis boyhood, and thought how
delightful it would be to meet them.
He remembered Sloan's pond, where he
fished when boy, the mill on the creek,
from the pond of which he had pulled
so many bull-heads; the hill which
every winter of his boyhood had been
his resort with his sled; the red school
house. Every orchard and waterlelon
patch he had robbed came freely before
him. The blood coursed quicker as the
train moved into the station, and he
was in the seventh heaven of expected
pleasure by the time he had got to his
mothers house.
lDisotlpl'OlhplliCllU VI ti IlloSu oiCNClllllS
kind followed. One jim was in Wis
consin, another in the graveyard. The
village itself had changed SO that he
could not recognize it. The old Eagle
tavern was gone; in its place was the
Union hotel. Peck's store, with the vii
lage doctor and the Justice Of the peace
sitting in front, was not there, but in
its stead a huge block of red buildings.
The railroad had given the village a
start, and it was about the same as the
one he had leftti in the west The woods
had all been cut off the hills, and Sloan's
pond, in consequence, had dried up; the
mill had been torn down long ago, and
the river had shrunk. Possibly, it was
as large as ever, but mems eyes are diff
| ferent from boys eyes. Roun dhill
wasn't exactly the shape Of asugar loaf,
as he had always had it in mind, and
the laughing, romping, red-cheeked
S,lsies OF his boyhood he found staid,
sober, worn matrons, with other Susies
and Marys to care for. And when Tom
| came to him he found him not a rosy
checked boy with his trousers hanging
by one suspender, but tall, bearded
man, whohad not minute to give him.
jim, the most promising boy in the vii
| lage school, and the prize scholar in the
Sunday school, he found blear-eyed
loafer, hanging around the gin mills,
and Sam, the stupidest boy in school,
was the principal lawyer in the county,
and was being talked of for congress.
And to add to his trouble, the dishes
cooked by his mother, of which he was
so fond when boy, tasted entirely diff
ferent, and he told the old lady, and she
| replied, with a sigh:
Il cook it just as used to; but you
must remember that there is differ
ence between a boy of fourteen, who
can relish anything, and man of thir-
ty. You have changed, not l..
And so, Instead of making a long
stay, he found the place uncomfortable,
and packed his valise, and went home
at the end of the third day carour

Everybody knows who is the print
er's devil, bat there are few who know
hew he came to be SO dubbed. Print
ing used to be called the "blacl1 art"
and the boys who assisted the pressmen
were called the imps. According to
legend, Aldus Manutius, printer of
Venice, took little negro hoy, left be
hind by merchant vessel, to assist
him in his business. 1t soon got wind
that Aldus was assisted BY a little
black imp, and to dispel the rumor, he
showed the boy to the assembled crowd,
and said, BE it known to Venice, that
|, Aldus Manuitus, printer to the Holy
Church and the Doge, have this day
made a public exposure of the print
erS devil All who think he is not
flesh and blood, may come and pinch
him." The people We're satisfied, and
no longer molested the negro lad.

ian that Judge Shannon is now at Boze-
man, Montana, conducting an investi-
cation against Judge Conger, of the SUI
preme bench of Montana, who is charged
with drunkenness, partiality in his

sort, having been on the bench himself
as territorial supreme court justice.

PARrERsBuRa, June 16.-Yesterday lot
of Italians who have been working onithe
River road came to the city, having been
discharged on account Of dissatisfaction as
to wages. They are turning out to be
about as worthless set Of laborers rs We
have. They spend nc, money except what
they. are compelled to to keep them alive.
The Regi'ter Of Saturday stated that the
ball from the revolver OF Officer Mehan
struck the towboat DAuntless. Mr.. Mehan
says II that be the case that It was caused
by the ball glancing from the water, as 1t
struck close to the darkey. He also says
that the. statement that . boat from the
Dauntless picked up the man, Is false, as
he himself pulled him ia as he was going
down the last time, and the towboat made
no attempt whatever to rescue the man.
For some time past there has been q
small war going on between the boats run
ming in the local trade below here, In which
the Norton, Logan and Sonoma have fgur-
ed most prominently. Yesterday morning
quite lively race took place between them
from the head OF the Island TO the wharf,
resulting in the Norton reaching here fist
and about tie between the sonoma and
Logan. This morning large number
gathered at the wharf about the time they
wers due, and in a short time the Logan
and Sonoma hove in sight very close
together, with the Logan slightly in
the lead. How the race would
have terminated would be very hard
10 tell, for at about quarter Of mile the
Logan was headed toward Belpre, while
the sonoma came here. The war Is the
outgrowth OF the Logan trying to secure a
trade between here and Ravensweod,
which the Sonoma does not want II 10 do.

wAmIseroN, D. O., June 16.-Nothing
could better illustrate the assurance of the
Star Route crowd than Bob IngersolRa
visit 10 the White House to-day. He
went up to call on the President, and while
waiting for an hour in the Office Of Private
Secretary Phillips, he talked to all who
came on the trial and the verdict. he
went 50 far in the matter, and SO far forget
his Surroundings, as to denouncethe courts
Of the Government in the prosecutions q
'.iniamous." On the part Of the defense
the trials were in every sense great, and
would be Is prominent in history as the
Warren Hastings trial. Coupled with the
abuse Of the Government, he pronounced
apanegyric on thejury, and concluded by
boastirg that the remaining cases would
never be tried. This visit and talk OF Col
Iugersoll are fair samples Of the assurance
and effrontery exhibited by the Star Route
people, and q portion Of their counsel.
As to Colonel Iugersoll's assertion that
the remaining cases will not be tried, there
ia the highest authority for the statement
that they will be pushed, and with vigoE

but turn upon direct testimony upon the

Rerde'l finds himself in curious fix
after the late verdict. Having been con-
yicted on the first trial, and having plead
ed guilty on the last one, he fnds his faith
in bis own knowledge OF his guilt 80 far
shaken, that he to-day asked the Court
through his counsel, to be allowed to with.
draw his plea Of guilty. Judge Wylie will
consider the situation next Monday. 49,
10 regard TO the reports OF forthcoming
libel suits, the following extract from a
Critic editorial may be significant No
one has ever heard General Brady say she
would bring libel suits, What General
Brady does, he does, and doesn't blow
about 1t In advance; and he is not so much
in love with the machinery OF Ju1tice as to
voluntarially rush into q Court to secure
bis rights or his vindication. Ex-senator
Dorsey may entertain the idea OF bringing
the vile and venal Tinats to account. The
Critic hopes he does. Mr.Dorsey will do
q grsad public good in exposing the vile
concers, and II Ia to be hoped he will not
tarry long in acting"
The grand jury this morning brought

THE demand for Confederate bonds still
continues, and still the wonder grows how
anybody can be induced to put money
into securities SO notoriously insecure and
valuelesR. The Baltimore Sun notes that
one firm holds sSO,0OO,000 Of them. The
Pncs has been as high as fifteen dollars
per $1,000, but now ranges from six to
eight dollars, though the bonds are be-
coming scarce. The inquiry is for coupon
bonds, and the purchases are all for English
account The Sun says that nobody knows
what is at the bottom Of all this, but there
is theory abroad "that English holders
look for some complications to arise be.
tween the two countries, and hope that in
iH adjustment England will be in position
TO insist on the United States Identifying
the English holders Of Confederate bonds" !"
This is looking a long way ahead, and
taking very cheerful view Of the future.
But that concerns the buyers. We advise
our friends who may be loaded with Con-
Iedentes,' TO turn them over at market
prices to those English capitalists who have
more money than brains. Don't wait Tor
arise.

a whaling Crew Mutinies In the Arctic


SAN FRANc1sco, Jane l6.-The schooner
Wild Gazelle arrived yesterday from the
Arctic regions, brought news Of mutiny
on the steam wbaler Lucretia, which left
here last December, Captain Edmund
Kelly commanding, and crew OF fort! :
three. March 2, during heavy gale,
when close TO Ice, the menreiused to obey
orders, and went below. The mutiny was
led by John MADDEN, q native Of New
the Captains life, but the first attack was
frustrated by the, mates. Joe, a French
man, became so intractable ii became nee
essary to put him in irons, upon which the
entire crew came aft, demanding Joe's rt-
lease, otherwise refusing to work. The
Captain explained to thel crew the consc-
quences OF mutinous conduct and told
them they must either work or starve.
They ieered him and dared him to stop
their rations.
Alter being driven below, the prisoners
weie removed to safe quarters, and matters
remained in uncertainty until tie 24th,
when asrnsh was made by the crew, the
lock Of the iorecastle forced, and q gang,
led by Madden and Boyd, came aft, de-
manding bread or blood. After .yainly ex-
prs ulating, the Captain armed himsslf aud
eficers, and told the men that he would
shoot the man who wouldreiuse duty when
tho roll was called. John Madden, being
called, instead Of going to work, made q
rush at the Captain, swapping revolver.
The Captain missed fire also, and most
exciting scene ensued, several shots being
fired, and Madden at last being shot in the
knee by the engineer. The Captain then
advanced on the crew with bis rife clubbed,
driving them back, when Madden, wound
ed though be was, sprang upon the Captain
with pistol and bowie:knife, but bullet
from the Captains rifs dropped him dead
in his tracks. The leader being killed the
mutineers succumbed and went to work.
Three Of the ringleaders-Boyd, McCord
and Anderson-were tied up TO the rik-
gipg. The Captain left the vessel in good
order in Command OF Second Officer JEFF.

Commissioners which has set the. town
laughing at them. A short time ago fair

valuable goods. The admission tickets sold
entitled the holder to a chance In the
drawing. The Commissioners were in the
midst OF a commendable spasm on the
subject Of gambling, and had driven
some Of the professional houses
over to Alexandria. So they arrest
ed the managers at the close Of
the fair for running lottery. Their own
law officer dismissed the case with nom
inal fine. In the last hours OF the fair
three gentlemen, managing the spinning
Jenny for the ladies, were arrested by the
police. They took the case to the District
Attorney. He saw Ct to dismiss It The
Commissioners who have nothing more to
do with this officer than with q District
Attorney in any other part OF the United
States, undertook to hold Colonel Corkhill
responsible, and published letter, calling
him to account, and notifying him that his
course was great surprise to the Commis.

he replies, while he does not recognize
their right as Commissipners to demand
any explanation, he answers them as freely
and cheerfully as he would any inquiring

that the officials under the Commissioners
