DIED WITH HIS SECRET.-About a
year ago young man made his ap-
pearance in Gradytown, sub
urbs of Atlanta, Ga. He was of
pleasant address. Industrious, mind
ful of his own affairs, and soon made
friends who thought of him highly.
Among others he made the acquain-
lance of young lady of respectable
family, whom he subsequently mar
ried. The couple at once settled
down to housekeeping, with prospects
which seemed bright enough for ordi-
nary people. About month ago the
husband was stricken down with a
disease which baffled the skill of the
physicians, and on Friday night he
died. Several male friends of the
family prepared the body for burial.
About one of the dead mans ankles
they found shackle such as is used
in penitentiary. The chain had
been broken off at the first link, and
the pool man was unable to move the
fatal ring which after death was to
give the clue to his identity. The
young men found their secret too great
for concealment. Calling the wife to
the side of the corpse, they asked her
for an explanation, but she could
give none. She had never seen the
shackle before, and was even more
mystified than the men who made the
discovery. A policeman was called
in, and recognized the dead man as
Jacob Harper, notorious desperate,
who had escaped from the penitenti-
airy, and for whose capture a large re-
ward was offered. The wife, thus
being made aware that she had been
the bride of a convict, tainted, and
the greatest excitement followed. On
being restored TO consciousness, her
relatives entrested her to have moth
Ing TO do with tie funeral, but she Ie-
fused their ad, ice, saying that as her
husband had done his duty 10y her she
would see him buried with such honors
as she could give hin.

England Calls out Her Reserves

Active war preparations throughout
England continue, and not since the
Crimean war has the excitement been
so great. The belief has rapidly
grown within the past few days that
war with Russia is unavoidable, ard
the war fever is now strong upon the
people. The activity at the arsenaIs
and dock-yards is almost unprecedent-
ed. Large forces of men are en-
ployed both day and night filling the
heavy orders already sent in by the
war and admiralty officers. Thursday
morning officers of the ordinance de-
partment at Chatham received imper-
tive orders to ship immediately to
Bombay all the Martini-Henry rifles
IN store in that department. Already
the government arsenals are taxed to
their utmost, and so urgent are some
of the orders that contracts have had
to be made with private firms. At
the dockyard, vessels are being fitted
out for instant departure, some OF
them not having been placed under
sailing colors for years. Notwlth-
standing that the situation has not
improved in the least all the markets
are stronger. :,
The calling out of the reserves and
militia has increased the excitement
over the Anglo-Russian dispute. Or
ders for thousands of MartiniHenri
rifles and revolvers have been sent to
Birmingham. The arms are to be
shipped to Bombay as rapidly as CON-
pleted. The factories at Birmingham
are working night and day. A spec
ial cabinet council was held at Wind
sor Castle Thursday afternoon by com-
mand of the Queen. just as the min-
listers were lesving the castle mes
senger arrived from the foreign office
bearing dispatches for Lord Gran
vile from Sir Edward Thornton, min
lister to Russia, and Lord Dufferln,
viceroy of India. The ministers re-
! ..-.si e. The 70. ,Lie ana second
council was held. Orders have been
sent to Chatham to supply immedi-
ately 100000 cartridges. A wild
rumor is afoat that some Russian
troops have attacked portion of Sir
Peter Lumsden's party and killed two
of his men.
1t is expected that at present 90
900 men of the first class will be
called out, with 5000 picked, efficient
militia. 1t is believed that the gov
eminent is preparing to send feet to
the Baltic when the ice breaks up to
prevent the exit of Russian vessels.
The decision to call out the re-
serves was taken in view of the
Queens departure for the continent
in order to be prepared for an emer-
gency.

SUNSET Cox.-Of course Sunset
Cox's appointment as minister to
Turkey, over which Washington has
been smiling, began in joke. Cox
said jokingly to friend, who wanted
to visit the American legation at
Constsntinople, that he guessed the
only way was to have S. S. Cox
made minister to Turkey. Cox's re-
mark was repeated, of course, and
the appointment began to be talked
about as possible one. Then Cox
got to thinking seriously about it. He
was in Constantinople during his last
European tour. He liked his expe-
rience there, and, in fact, all through
the east. The more he thought of it
the more attractive it became. The
salary of the minister to Turkey,
-fs,rnse-ly 81 800. -raisad-by- Con-
gress last session to 100000. The
term of the Office will probably be
four years. Last year Mr.. Cox mad
some difficulty to get his denomination
to Congress. The next attempt might
be more difficult. Mr.. Cox is no
hunger young, except in heart. He
was 60 on the goth of last September.
On the whole Mr.. Cox thought he
would like to 60 to Turkey. The
President, like everybody else, likes
MIR. Cox. When he heard that Mr..
Cox wanted to 60 as a minister to
Turkey, he sent him word that be
would nominate him. The first Cox
(who was slightly under the weather,
and so confined to his room) knew of
it was from kilograms of congratula-
ton from New York. Cox will take
occasion to thoroughly explore the
Holy Land while he is abroad, and
will probably write a book or two.
The nomination is universally ap-
proved. Cox will be greatly missed
from the House.

The trial of Clark W. Sanders for
the murder of Daniel Carr occupied
the time of the Washington county
court at Montpelier, Judge Powers
presiding about one week. The part
that Sanders shot Carr, who had Sc
duced his wife and DESTROYED his do
nestle peace, was not denied, and the
effort Of the defence was to show emo
tional insanity in Carr. DR.. Draper,
OF the Vermont asylum WAS called as
an expert. After listening to all the
evidence, he went upon the stand on
ednes,lay morning, and stated his
belief that Carr was not insane and
rigid cross-eXamination failed to stir
him from this opinion. He admitted
that Sanders mind might not be
sound that he might have, aud prob
ably did have, an imperfect organiza-
ton, bu. said the circumstances and
oddities testified te.fay <the-- yafious
wi ,nesses were not EVIDENCE of insan.

DIR. Diapers testimony took up near
~ all of the forenoon, and at its CON-
cIusion the state rested. The case
went to the jury w ednes' ay night and
verdict 0t manslaughter was return
ed, Public sympathy in Montpelier
is with Sanders because of the aver
sion which all reputable people felt TO-
ward Carr. Sanders sentence is 81
years Ill state prison.

Jacob Thompson, Secretary of tLe
Interior under President Buchanan,
died at Memphis, Tenn, Tuesday of
last week, and On the following Thurs
day Secretary Lamar ordered the
offices of the Interior Department
closed in honor of his memory. The
propriety of closing the Interior or any
other governmental department upon
the death or any of its former secre-
taries would not, ordinarily, be ques-
toned; but when one of the Jake
Thompson stripe dies, and the nation
is called upon to lament his demise,
loyalty has right to demur. Thomp-
son was a traitor. While Secretary he
entered zealously into the southern
conspiracy which resulted ia The open
outbreak of the rebellion. He after
wards became a confederate general
.aHd emissary to Canada, and in that
capacity organized the St. Adams
raid in the fall of 1864, in which
banks were robbed, horses stolen and
blood shed. While in North Carolina
aiding the secession move, a defalca-
ton of $4,000 was discovered
in his department. Floyd, who was
then Secretary of War, was a party
to the theft, ran away, and later
became a rebel general. Thompson
was suspected, with good reason, of a
knowledge of the plot to assassinate
Lincoln, and President johnson offered
s25, 900 reward for his capture. He
remained violent rebel to the last,
and died unpardoned and without hav-
ing his political disabilities removed.
The propriety of honoring the official
record of one who was active on the
confederate side is questioned and the
query naturally arises-will the War
Department be closed when jeff Davis
dies?

EMPHASIZING THE Embarrassing
Queens proclamation is a distinct, out
not an unmistakable, menace OF war.
The reserves and the militia are never
called out for holiday parade, but only
in crisis of foreign affairs. Neverthe.
less, peace is often the outcome even of
the most serious preparations for war.
The calling out of the reserves and the
militia is the English method of empha-
sizing an ultimatum and informing a
continental neighbor that the govern
ment and the nation are determined to
fight rather than compromise. This is
the real meaning of the proclamation In
the present instance. Neto York tribune.
