a Lerend of Ooloyne.

1t seems that in 1857 the plague was
raging in Cologne. and among It's many
hundreds of other victims was the wife
of n certain noble knight. The wife
was buried with AL the ceremony OBJ
tainablc under such conditions and the
disconsolate husband went home to his
vacant house to mourn the loss of his
! faithful and beloved wife. But the said
wife, instead of being actually dead,
had only fallen into death-like swoon.
Awakening from this and finding her.
self buried, she. by some unexplained
means, succeeded in getting herself UNI
buried and Immediately set off home to
to comfort husband. Naturally enough
the husband was greatly surprised to
see the wife, whom he had seen dead
and securely buried only 4 few hours
before, walk into the open door; and
he was SO sure about the authenticity of
the death and ''for-kecps' burial of his
spouse that he refused to credit either
his own eyes or the assertions OF the
rcSurrectcd one. Deaf To all that his
once dead. but now living, wife could
urge in behalf of her identity. the
knight NJ last, SO he thought, terminal
ed the discussion by eXclaiming: No!
it is impossible that YOU can be my dear
wife whose loved remains | but few
hours ago saw deposited in the cold
grave. Sooner will believe that my
horses can ascend the stairs to the gar
ret of my house" Rash knight! No
sooner had he made this assertion than

Convinced by the prodigy, he "clasped

Denver, COL, Twenty-Five Years Ago

Why, in that early golden age no
doors were locked at night; the intel

Not long since. while two Albany
young men were returning from fish

approaching them in the dusk Of the
evening an old negro riding a sober and
steady looking mule. As they neared
him they saw the negro take a sudden
leap from his bacN, while the mule
stretched himself ont in the road and
lay apparently dead. 70 their surprise
the old darby did not appear the least

The Information Dismissed and the Dis

Special DisDdtch.
OXFORD, Miss, July 6.--The information
az ainst the election conspirators was quashed
t"-day on tochncalities. Tho court declined
&c permit tho district attorney to amend the
information, and ordered him TO present tho
case to tho grand jury. Ho declined. He said
his information was a counterpart Of the s'Ar
route indictments. which were hold good ex.
cept one. This was conspracyto to rob man Of
his office. If the court refused to allow him
to present his case by information, as he had
right to do, and attempted TO dictate his
course, he should ask permission of tho at
torney general to dismiss all these
election cases. The star route de-
tendants escaped through tho uucovenanted
mercy of tho jury, and If tho judge saw fit TO
take the responsibility these men might
escape through tho uncovenanted mercy of
the court If these men, who had COM
mitted collosal crimo which dsgustod
the world, could not be prosecuted he did not
desire to prosecute smaller men for smaller
offenscs. Mr.. Watson then rose and insisted
ants, thro ugh their counsel declined to ask
upon proceeding to trial. The other defend
for q trial. The judge informed Mr.. Watson
that he could withdraw tho motion to quash
as to himself and be tried thereupon. Ed
wards took refuge under the statement that
tho court had said the information was not

Didn't "Cho,v Him Up."

New YORK, July 6.-This morning Joe
Ryan, the wrestler, encountered William L.
Harding, sporting editor of the Police Gazette,
at the office of that paper, and becoming angry
at some remark of Harding's announced his
intention of Chewing him up" The wrestler
succeeded in biting Harding severely above
the left eye, when Harding began vigorous
counter attack, in the course of which Ryan
was badly punished. Both men were arrested
and taken to the Tombs, where each made a
charge of assault against the other. Justice
Smith decided that Ryan was the aggrcssor,
and held him for trial, discharging Harding.
