Death from disappointment.

A sad story comes from Baltimore. Iio-
mer j. G. Deaves, whose home is in West
Bethlehem, Pa, was Il member Of the
graduating class in dental surgery mt
Maryland University, but was not success
full in passing the examination, and did
not receive his diploma. He seemed TO be
utterly overcome by modification and de-
spair, and wandered around aimlcssly UNI
til Friday night, when he got OIL train
Oh the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. lie
got off the train when it stopped for coal
at Camden Junction, then inc wandered
up into the brick-yard, over towards the
Washing ton road. Here there are several
deep pits filled with water, and into many
of these he had stumbled. His footsteps
could he plainly tracked, and OIL several
embankments are tho marks where liO had
slipped. At the foot OF one especially
steep bank his hat WAS found, .and'a pro-
jecting root had been broken by his efforts
to drag himself out. Then he walked
twenty-five yards further OH, to the drain.
Once he escaped from it, but the second
time he fell all his struggles only sunk
him deeper and deeper. Finally, exhaust
cd by his Intellectual attempts, lie fell for
ward, and so he died, and when found
Monday morning his face, eyes, cars and
beard were covered with Il stiff coat Of
frozen mud. His forehead was sadly
bruised, and the blood and cuts in his
lower lip showed how lie had bitten it.
His left ankle was broken or disiocated.
Efforts were made to raise and draw the
corpse from the drain, but not until
strong rope had been tied about it, and q
dozen men OH the bank tugged long and
hard, was the body looscncd and finally
drawn up OH the bank. His body was
taken to tho University Hospital, and his
father telegraphed for.

by the joyful.

Samuel Mcdaniel, a young farmer OF
Island Shoals, Ca, was blowing in one OF
his fields the other day. The plow caught
in some obstruction. Urging the mule,
he found the pillow had caught In the
handle of five-gallon jug which he pull
ell cut of the ground. The jug irad cork
stopper, sealed with sealing wax and
piece of tin doubled over It, with aewirc
fastened around it, making it perfectly
secure. Mcdaniel was anxious to what
was in the jug, so taking his heel-scrcw
of his pillow he twisted off the wire. This
enabled him to take out tho cork. He
then placed the jug on a stump, and, APP
plying his Hips, tasted the best brandy he
had ever sampled. So captivated was he
that lie drank several times and at last,
the liquor overcoming him, he slipped
down asleep at the foot of the stump.
Failing to come home to dinner, his
mother went to tile field after him rs he
was about waking up. Together they
gave the jug another examination when
Mrs. McDaniel's attention was attracted
to its great weight. An examination
showed the presence Of 1000 Ave dollar
gold pieces, making total Of s., 500. The
mystery was cleared up in singular man
ner. McDaniel's grandfather was cap
tain in the Florida war. twas known
that he was wealthy before he left home.
On news of his death in one Of the battles
with the Indians his heirs could find no
trace Of his money. The fact that years
after his only grandson and heir should
have found his fortune III singular incl
dent. The finding Of this jug leads TO the
hope that there may be others, and the
blowing of that field Is watched with In
terest.
Mrs. Frederick II. Prince, Of Boston,
received 500, 600 check among her wed

Am A~v Gil Con fessiOn.

On January 11th, 1867, Christian Kett,
4 pretty girl of IS years, was murdered at
her home in Dayton, Ohio, and no clue
was ever discovered TO the murder until
Saturday, when her brother made known
on his death-bcd Il confession that his own
mother had made three weeks ago. SeY-
eral persons had beer suspected of the
crime, but no clue had ever pointed in the
directonof the mother. The disclosure
causes profound sensation. 1t is related
by the son rs follows: ...
The murdered girl had gone to call on
4 lady friend and returned home an hour
later than she had calculated upon, when
her mother in Il fit Of passion, seized an
axe handle and struck her on the head,
crushing in the skull. Appalled, at her
crime, the woman smeared the dead girls
face with gunpowder, and afterwards de-
ported herself in such manner rs to ell
tirely clude detection. Mental torture
drove her from the scene of her crime,
and she roamcd through various Western
cities, finally returning to Dayton several
years ago. The woman was 81 years old
ut the time of her death, and her family
are all dead except the son who relates
the diving confession.

After Many Years.

Several years ago an extensive embez-
element occurred in Ohio, many thousand
dollars being secured. Although the po-
lice knew the criminal they were baffied
i'm all their attempts to find him or to re-
cover his ill-gotten gains, so cleverly had
he covered up all his tracks. For years
he has been unsnccessfully searched for
without result until Friday last, when he
was discovered, as charged, in the person
of \. NJ. Finch, depot agent at Waynes-
boro, Va. The Staunton police, on 4
requistion from the Governor of Ohio,
made the arrest. 1t is said that Finch
was discovered by an old acquaintance
who happened to pass through Waynes-
boro and who notified the Ohio autllori-
ties. 1t is believed that the money he
embezzled he secreted somcw here near the
scene Of the transaction, and that for fear
of detection and capture Inc Was afraid to
return. He was taken back to Ohio on
Saturday.

A Dreadful Disaster.


About one o'clock last Thursday MORN
ing the mining village Of Pocahontas, In
Tazewell county, Va, was shaken 10 It's
foundation by terrible explosion in the
Flat-Top coal mines, and in few min
utes the place was in state Of wild eX-
element. There were l54 miners ut work,
and not ore escaped with his life. The
explosion, it is supposed, was caused by
gas. An effort MAS ut once made to enter
the mine, but the exploring party had
proceeded but short distance when poi
sonous gases drove them back. They,
however, succeeded in finding six bodies,
which were horribly mangled. Later in
the day tire was seen issuing from the
mouth Of the mines, and no further at
tempt was made to enter. All the en-
frances 10 the mine were sealed, ana
until the flames shall have been smoth-
cred nothing can be done towards recov-
ering the bodies.
In the town of POcahontas, which is
about hree-quarters of Il mile from the
mine, the explosion awokc the iniabit-
ants, who describe it as resembling an
earthquake, accompanied by a thunder
clap. The force of the explosion, us
shown by the blackened surface OF the
mountain opposite and the debris scatter
cd along the slopes and in the bed Of the
little stream that flows at the base of the
mine, was terrific. The farmhouse, engine
shed and locomotive house were literally
blown away, and the heavy timbers sup
porting the entries to the mine were car
ried in some instances distance OF sew
eral hundred feet. The cars standing
near the mouth of the mine were hurled
clcm across the bed of the stream anu up
the side of the mountain opposite, and
fragments of clothing were scattered III
every direction. A human foot was found
high up the mountain side, and mule
was found ut the same place twisted into
III Undesirable shape.
The mine is The property of the South
west Virginia Improvement Company,
and is situated ut the terminus Of the New
River Division of the Norfolk and Wesl-
ern Railroad, and about l20 miles from
Roanoke. 1t is one of the largest soft coal
mines in the State, the output being about
1000 tons day. The mining is not by
pits, but by running levels into the noun
tain, and these levels penetrate distance
of several miles, the coal veins being about
twelve feet in thickness. The men en-
ployed were of almost every nationality,
among them being many negroes and
large number of Hungarians. ,

A Fool and a. Pistol.

In Brooklyn Sunday Miss Celia Renney,
II years of age, WAS visiting the house of
John Cassidy. While Cassidy's family
aud guests were chatting in the parlor
after dinner, Dennis Reilly, 80 years old,
one OF the party, drew revolver and
pointed it at Mary Cassidy, saying that he
would mcsmeriZe her. When she eXhib-
tied symptoms of fear, he laughed, and,
turning around, leveled the weapon at
Miss Renney's head and pulled the trig-
ger. A loud report followed, and, with
out uttering word, Miss Renncy fell for
ward upon the floor dead, the bullet hay
ing pierced her brain. The screams Of
Mrs. Cassidy and her daughter aroused
the neighborhood, and Reilly, who made
no effort TO escape, was handed over to the
police. He seemed utterly overcome with
horror at the occurrence, and said that he
thought the revolver was empty. Upon
examination it was found that all the
chambers had been unloaded excepting
the one from which the fatal shot was
fired. h

Rollo Coleman, ten years old, died on
Sunday at Newark, n. j., in great agony,
from tho effects Of AN injury caused by a
fellow pupil in the public school they at
tended. On Friday last he sat down upon
long lead pencil, which was placed
standing point upwards in the slots Of the
seat, by n mischievous boy only ten years
of age. Six surgeons held aconsultation,
and on Saturday afternoon an operation
was performed and about three inches of
lead pencil We're removed. But the shock
to the boys nervous system and the set
ting in of Inflammation caused his death
Sunday after noon. AIR. Coleman and his

THERE is story afloat in Washington
that Henry Irving, the actor, had little
game Of poker with President Arthur and
three New York friends of Arthur's, a
few evenings since. They played until
daylight, when the game stopped, Irving
announcing to the party that lie had lost
all he intended TO losc-his receipts for
the week-and departed. On his way to
his hotel he remarked to his legation
friend that, while he had great confidence
IN the honesty of the President, lie be-
lieved that the parties he introduced rs
his friends were skin gamblers.
The Government seems at last to be
awakening to the fact that something
must be done In defense of our rights and
privileges in foreign countries. Germany
and France will have nothing to do with
American pork, England virtually shuts
out Americaa cattle, and the same state
Of affairs exists in greater or less degree
in other countries. 1t is now proposed
that the United States shall rctaliate by
excluding tie adultcrated wines and other
articles OF thcsc nations from our shores.
1t is high time that the United States
should assert its dignity, anG compel the
respect of our s,percilions old ncighbors

QUESTION.

Aessrs. Editors.-l would like to ask
this question concerning the county
roads: Is it right for Bill Jones, who Is
only worth his head tax, to spend two or
more days labor OH the county roads,
while Jim Jackson, holding real estate to
the amount of $40, 900 or $50, 900, spends
not one Cline on the said roads?
