SWIFT RETRXBVTION.

A Murderer at New atrsitsvtlle, o.,
Lynched by 200 Citixsns.
Marshal Henry Auer, Of New Straits
vile, O., while in q quarrel with Albert
Guest, on the streets OF that place on
the 21st, was shot by the latter
several times and cannot recover.
One shot missed Auer and hit a boy,
aged IL, fifty yards away, passing
through his body and injuring his
spine. He cannot recover. Guest
was arrested by two Pinkerton men
and locked up. Two hundred masked
men broke into the prison at 10 o'clock
the same night and compelled the
constable, at the point OF revolvers,
to give up the keys. They secured
Guest and took him out near Plember
Hill mine, where they hanged him to a
tree and riddled his body with bullets.
The German Bedroom.
! wonder if you ever saw q genuine
German schlafzimmer, or bedroom
In the first place the threshold is
raised about four inches, so in enter
ing the room one is in danger of getting
a fall. The floor runs slightly down
hill and the furniture consequently
seems marching all one way. There is
q big, shiny sofa with a table before
it. On the walls are framed artificial
wreaths--memoria of funerals OF
years gone by.
In one corner is the stove, but you
would never imagine it to be one, look
ing like II great family monument,
painted black and as high as the door
The easement window opens directly
on to the beds, for there are always
two beds in q room for two persons.
They are narrow and have three or
four mattresses each, which rise to n
frowning height. The pillows are i'm
mense, two for each bed, and there is
also a triangular sort ofboIster, which
forces the occupant to sleep at an angle
offorty-five degrees.
On top OF the bed is the grandest in
stitution OF this countrywide "Plu-
no." dear to the Germans heart
"a feather bed in q red or blue bag!
So, when one sleeps, his extremities
are in the torrid zone of feathers, his
heart and lungs in the temperate zone
of blankets, and his head in the arctic
circles OF draughts from the window.
During the night the sleeper becomes
aware that something is the matter.
He wakes in terror, and finds the
"Plumo" is gone. It generally falls of
about five times before daylight. The
getting up to rearrange the thing il
pleasant diversion, even in these cool
autumn nights, and in the winter must
he quite exhilaratinQ.
1 think much prefer the patent
bookcase bedstead in America, which
have all the clothes built in; but once
heard of woman who closed up that
kind of q bed while her husband was in
it, and he was lost for half a day.
Perhaps German ways are safest!

a Capeurod.
A dispatch from Winnipeg, under
date Of the 10th inst, says: tsRiel was
captured yesterday, three miles north
Of Batouche, by three scouts named
Diepl, How're and Armstrong. He ap-
peared unconcerned, but begged not to
be shot. He was taken to Gen, Mid
dleton's headquarters. Diepl said
to him: II am surprised to see
you here" Riel said: III was coming
to give myself up" He said His wife
and family were across the river.
While talking to him Maj. Boulton's
scouts were seen coming up, and Riel,
becoming afraid OF being shot, begged
his captors to take him into camp
themselves. Accordingly, Diepl went
of for his horse, but when a little dis
tance away, Boulton' q scouts got close
and How're and Armstrong took Riel
on one OF their horses. No demon
stration was made when he was
brought in. He walked quietly to the
generals tent. A note which Riel gave
the courier was 4 letter which Gen.
Middleton sent him. He knew moth
ing Of Dumont. Riel said he stayed
on Tuesday and Wednesday, nights
in the bluffs north of Batouche.
He wished fair trial, He asked
Armstrong if he would get a
civil or q military trial. He said his
wife and family were with the half
breed women near by. When he saw
the Gatling.gun 90 down with the
scouts at Batouche, he was much
alarmed on account of his family
Riel appears care-worn and haggard.
He has let his hair grow long, and
dressed in poorer fashion than most
Of the haIf.breeds captured. While
talking to Gen. Middleton, as we'll ~
could be seen from the outside of the
tent, his eyes rolled from side to side
with the look OF q hunted man. He
evidently was the most frightened man
in camp, and in constant fear of vio-
lence at the hands Of the soldiers
There is no danger OF any such vio-
lenca."

DlSASTROUS FIRE.


by the Flames.
The village Of Somerset, Quebec, was
destroyed by fire on the night of the
18th, about 100 houses being burned,
including the church, the Presbytery,
the foundry and the cheese factory.
Many persons are in destitute condi-
ton. Only the walls of thechurch are
left standing. The fire originated in
the foundry. The buildings being
mostly Of wood, the fire spread rapidly
and there being no fire apparatus in
the village, it was impossible to fight
the flames. The convent was not
burned.

Some OF the contradictions OF hu-
man nature in thesame individual are
absolutely marvellous. Boyne, the
German teacher, who recently threw
vitriol upon the waiter girls in a De-
troit hotel, is said TO have been very
kind to q vicious mustang which he
owned, feeding him with sugar, and on
finding after selling him that the work
was hard he bought him back at con-
siderable loss. SO, too, the murderer
of Mime. BalIerich, in Paris, not long
since, was q desperate burglar and aS-
sassin, but who lived unsuspected the
life of a country gentleman, highly re-
spected by his neighbors and friends.
He was very fond OF dumb animals,
and GA being arrested for his cruel
murder he turned TO the police with
tears in his eyes and said: Don't
forget to feed my fow|s7" II some Of
this lavish tenderness OF TnurdererS
and vitrioI-throwers would only spill
over on their fellow beings they would
be better appreciated.

A Warning.

brating all the evening, and as he
sauntered up to the bar in West
Madison Street saloon, he was just u
tritle unsteady.
"Gi' me 4 glass-hic-o' whiskyW he
demanded Of the barkeeper.
His friend, Terry Doolan, ordered
glass of beer, and the white-aproned
gentleman proceeded to put out tho
liquor. The whisky bottle was in the
ice-chest, and when taken from there
several small particles OF ice stuck to
the bottom. There was q slight in-
cline to the bar, and consequently,
the ice making it slippery, the bottle
began to slowly journey down the in
cline. Joe watched it q moment in ST.
lence; then his face became ashy pale,
and he inquired of his friend:
"Say, Terry--hic--is that bottle
moving?"
"Why, no, joe" replied Terry, with
q perfectly straight face.
Joe took a fresh grip on the bar, and
turned again to the bottle. As he saw
it still moving, the perspiration start
ed from his pores, and he passed his
hand several times back and forth be-
fore his eyes, as If to clear his vision.
Finally he turned to tho baskeeper
and said solemnly:
"Barkeep', take away the bottle.
Come on--hic--Terry; Pve had ,l--hic
warning. III never touch another
drop--hic."

"Mattsr r!--hic. Matter enough. BY
