Put an End to His Agony.

DENVER, COL, Dec. 21.-A strange story
of a mysterious death in mine comes from
Douglass Mountain, near Georgetown. G..
A. Dilley last Monday discovered in a tun-
mel in the mountain the body Of John G.
Emmerson partially covered with dirt
The throat was cut and gashed
in horrible manner. 1t is
believed that the man had committed
suicide, and Coroner's inquest which was
held on the remains concurred in this be-
lief. Emmerson had lived in cabin by
himself, and was working all alone in the
tunnel, In which he cut lode that he
worked himself. The tunnel was not
timbered, and it is thought that while work.
ing the ground over him loosened and
caved in crushing him to the ground. Some
heavy rocks fell upon his feet and legs,
breaking his right leg above the ankle.
He doubtless took his knife out and
endeavored to cut himself loose, as his boot
was slit up and down and cut all to pieces,
but he could not extricate his foot He was
wedged in and helpless. After long and
helpless waiting and vain endeavors to get
out Of the drift, he evidently cut his own
throat preferring not to die by inches in his
helpless ENHANCEMENT. The body had evil

hours when found

Jerusalem Will Arise Again.

What man can reason himself into
the belief that the fond dream of the
jew shall not be realized? Eighteen
hundred years of drifting, hither and
thither, over the earth would seem to
settle forever the question of return.
But who knows the plans of the Abso-
lutte? And who has ever thought adj
versely to the union of the tribes in the
fatherland? Our presentiments all tend
toward a rehabilitation of the name and
nation under the sun of Palestine. The
sea can not give up her dead, for there
is no appeal or relief from the great
law that dooms us to dust. Genera
tons of men appear and vanish as the
grass, and the countless multitude that
throngs the world to-day, will to-mor-
row disappear as the footsteps on the
shore. Foreign lands can not give back
the senseless clay, but the millions of
descendants will be restored and the
banners of her ancient hosts will be
born in the wave of establishment
and the van of new evangel. The
city will rise up and the land which
was silent SO long shall be robed and
made ready for the coming of might
Ter destiny and grander coronation.-.

CarlysIe's Honesty and Dyspepsia.

AS I may have occasion to say some
things depreciatory of him, l feel bound
to begin with stating my conviction,
founded on evidence, that hewas true
and genuine man. he was a most de-
voted son and loved his family and
friends-yes, including his wife, whom
he loved dearly, though he was brought
up in state Of society in which the
display of intensity and delicacy of af-
lection toward the members of ones
family was regarded as afectation. 1t
was taken for granted that we loved
them, and hence there was no need of
showing it to them or others, which was
reckoned a French and hypocritical
fashion. Reared in stern but loving
moral home, destined by his parents to
the Gospel ministry, and self-devoted
to literature, he was kept free from
those vices DIETER, with Carlysle, call
things by their right names) into which
the youthful Burns was led when flax
dresser in Irvine. He was recognized
by all as thoroughly honest and indie
pendent man, avoiding debt, even when
hard pressed; not disposed to ask fa-
yors of any one, and allowing no one
to lead him or sway his judgment
These are supposed to be common
place, but they are high virtues. He
was naturally cross-tempered and the
victim of constant dyspepsia, and so,
as his mother expressed it, became ''gey
Ill to live wiz" Brought up in re-
ligious home, and in connection with an
upright but strict sect, he never, fear,
submitted to any of those severe truths
which were fitted to subdue his self
righteousness. Giving himself up to
literature (and not theology he be-
came absorbed in his wsrk, labored
hard in it, and had no taste or temper
left for the amenities of life or works of
patriotism or philanthropy.

The Bennetts.

Detectives who were engaged in accumu-

wife have been rewarded by discoveries
which they say will assure conviction,
even should Mrs. Benefits confession that
her husband set fire to their home be
thrown out by the court. Perhaps the
strongest evidence yet found against the
husband is the discovery in the debris of
the fire of certain chemicals used to start
the confagration. The police recently re-
ceived from Aberdeen, D. T., huge pack
ing-case containing valuables shipped
from the house by Bennett before
the fire. The case Was opened at
police headquarters, and was found
to contain pillows, blankets, sheets
and other bedding, pictures and picture
frames, brackets, bric-a-brac, dress-goods,
wearing apparel of all kinds, lamps and
even fancy gas fixtures, which were found
to be missing when the police searched the
house the night of the fire. Bennett is in
the County Jail. Mrs. Bennett is at the
Central Police Station, rooming with Mrs.
Buchanan, the female officer. She is quiet
and lady-like, talking freely of her
troubles. She regrets deeply that she was
induced to criminate her husband, al
though frankly acknowledging her own
connection with the affair.

Increased Taxes.

Tax payers will find when they come
to pay their county taxes this year that
they will be considerably heavier than
last year. Through the beautiful Demo
cratic system of assessments and col.
lections of taxes couple of thousand
men, voters, have been returned as
delinquents by the tax collectors. II
was matter Of surprise when it can't
out that the Trustees Of the Poor re
quired $50, 900 to square up their &C
counts, and set them going square
again and also that the county was
carrying very heavy floating debt
The debt was about equal to the amount
of taxes assessed and not collected. Bu,
then the Democratic rule under viii cb
this floating debt occurred was benefit
to the wire-pullers and Office holders OF
the party aud no matter if the county
does suffer and higher taxes prevail the
" boys" who hold the Offices have had
the full benefit of it.
So long as the tax payers of the Coun.
ty are coutent to 90 on in the present
course of Democratic rule under Sena-
tor Bayard's fair assessment laws, they
may expect to pay more taxes. Those
who steadily vote for large Delinquent
lists and high taxes should not make
faces when the tax collectors come
around for their money.
