A TERRIBLE DISCOVERY.

The following graphic details of sad
domestic affiiction in Joliet, ILL.,, is from
the lel of D. G. Wilonghby, promising
Journalist of that place:
For few years past there has resided
in this city an eminently respectable fam
lily, the pride of whose household was a
daughter of sixteen. She was as beanti
full as the ideal of the poet and as remark
able for her intelligence as for surprising
eve ness Her form, warmed by the
blood of blooming womanhood, was as
graceful as Grecian goddess. Her long
hair rippled over her shapely shoulders
like molten gold, and her rosy cheeks, soft
as velvet, looked like roses mingled with
white snow. You may be sure one poss
essed of such charms of mind, form and
features would soon awaken passion in
some mans bosom. So it proved that
for several months past gentleman has
been paying her the most devoted atten
ton; he, also, was both handsome and
| intelligent. Her female friends, when
teasing her about him, observed the I'M
conscious bushes which irradicated her
beautiful features when his name was
ultullOutd
After while, however. she. seemed to
lose all her spirits; her musical laughter
like the tinkling of crystal drops upon her
| waves of silver was hushed, and she
eemed like lily that had been plucked
| and had faded away by the burning rays
of the sun. Her parents watched her
with tender solicitude, but she would not
reveal the cause of her melancholy AT
about 6 O'Clock Tuesday evening she was
missed from her home, and the fears of
her parents were excited. They sought
for her high and low, but she was no
where to be found. Finally the father
remembered that often, Of late, she had
been seen walking in a vine covered arbor
near the house, which IN summer time
was surrounded with beautiful flowers
He rushed to the arbor, and as the dis
tracted father rushed in he saw sigh
that froze his blood, paled his cheek and
filed his bosom with the deepest emotion
There before him was his beautiful daugh
ter her tall and graceful form arrayeC
in spotlCs3 white her golden hair stream
ing like a flood of light down to her wais
hanging think of it young man
maidens and loving parents-hangin {
with her arms around her lovers neck
and her head pillowed on his manly
bosom pleading for him to take her t.

ing. Wilson's sentence was two years
and half in the penitentiary, Pope
being only sixteen years of age, he could
not be sentenced by the jury, which was
left to the judge to decide.
James K Ditton, the leader of the
counterfeit gang, was brought into court,
as he was to be tried separate He asked
the judge for acontInuance. claiming that
he had written to brother at Dubuque,
and that Sheriff Reticker had not for
warded the letters. The sheriff says the
letter was written in such a manner that
led him to believe it was meant for a
confederate of his, and that no one else
could understand it. 1t was his duty,
therefore. to hold it. The judge granted
him continuance until Monday at Up
m, not so much on account of the pris-
oner's request, as it was so late in
the day that it could not be finished this
week

that they played as well as they did.
McCleerey, the umpire, gave excellent
satisfaction He is the same man that the

played with the Cedar Rapids. and would
not let him umpire, being afraid he would

Yesterday.

1t is now becoming evident that Rock

the record they have made so far on their
tour confirms the opinion. 1t was pre-
dicte'. that they would have an easy vic
tory at Iowa City, but the chances for
winning at Cedar Rapids were not So good.
