YOUTHFUL ARTIsAN.-An interesting
addition has been made to the Ascension
exhibit at the Worlds Exposition in the
shape of a chi!d's chair constructed from
twenty three different kinds of wood by
Master Emile Bertheaud, aged Ii years.
the son Of Mr.. F. A. Bertheaud, carpenter
on MIR. j. G. Cofield's Point Houmas su-
gar plantation in this parish. The skill dis
played in this unique piece of work would
DO credit to any carpenter and is some
thing quite extraordinary for youth of
Master Bertheaud's age. The chair is If
teen inches wide and the pieces of wood used
IN its construction were collected by the
young maker from the vicinity of the
Point Houmas place. The pieces are neat
~ polished and skillfully joined together.
and as no paint Or varnish has been used,
the natural colors of the wood are exhibit
ted to full advantage This unique article
will be an appropriate companion piece to
Mr.. Jno. p. Forcha's miniature cistern,
and will undoubtedly attract much atten-
ton from visitors to the Exposition We
congratulate Master Bertheaud upon his
handsome achievement and trust it is the
precursor OF greater ones to follow. A
youth who can do such handsome piece
of work ought to attain high reputation
as carpenter ard cabinet maker later in
life. The little chair was shipped to New
Orleans on Friday and will no doubt be
placed in the Ascension exhibit during the
coming week.

Terrible Tragedy in New Mexico.

One of the most terrible tragedies ever re-
corded occurred at Bonita, New Mexico, on the
9Th inst, by which several persons were killed
by robber. Martin Nelson, who was occupy
ing q room with DR.. w. III. Flynn, late of Bos-
ton, in the house of NJ. s. Mayberry, arose from
his bed in the night and commenced to rob the
room. DR.. Flynn awOke while the robber was
engaged in his pilfering. and was instantly shot
dead by the ruffian. The firing having aroused
the family, Mr.. Mayberry rushed into the room,
followed by his wife, both being instantly shot
dead by Nelson The two sons of Mayberry
then followed their parents into the room, when
they, too, received their deaths at the hands of
their parents murderer. A little girl staying
in the house was also killed The murderer S
bloody work was not yet completed, as neigh
Dor, running iii to investigate the matter,
was shot dead on the threshold. The house
was then surrounded by posse of citizens.
Hearing nothing for some time it was con-
cluded that the murderer had escaped by some
means, but a shot from one of the upper win
dows, which killed Herman Beck, dispelled
that idea Nelson then rushed from the house,
firing right and left as he ran down the street,
but was finally shot dead.

The English In the. .Soudan.

The Mahdi seems to have displayed little
more activity during the last week, and has
beer causing the men engaged on the Suakim
Railroad considerable trouble. In the early
part Of last week a large force of British and
Indian troops and friendly natives under Gen.
Graham marched out at midnight to Tackhol,
where they surprised and defeated 400 rebels,
killing 60 of them and capturing IL prisoners
and $50 head of cattle. After burning the village
they retired to Suakim, fighting continuing
until they had passed Hasheen. The British
loss was five wounded, including one officer
and q correspondent of a colonial newspaper.
Osman Digna, Ell Mahdis Lieutenant, has
again collected an army, in spite of his recent
defeat by the British, but he is not thought to
be formidable enough to make it necessary to
send out all expedition against him.
Those Arabs who have rebelled against the
authority of the Mahdi seem to be causing him
more trouble than the English are, and reports
have reached Dongola that the insurgents have
again defeated his forces in Kordofan. The
remnant of the Mahdis forces has retreated,
according TO these reports. to Abu Haraz. The
Mahdi himself is at Omderman, near Khar-
toum but he has only few troops with him,
and is unable to send endorsements against
the insurgents.

A Gentlemanly Burglar.

Mr.. Charles Ray, millionaire of Milwaukee
Wis, received vista few nights ago from a
most extraordinarily polite burglar. Mr.. Rays
sleep was broken by the glare of dark-lantern
being suddenly thrown across his eyes. He
was thereupon requested in the blandest pos.
sible manner to hand over what money and
valuables he bad, the burglar at the same time
intmating to him that he was in a hurry, and
his immediate compliance with the demand
would be regarded as favor. Seeing this pc.
lite request was supplemented by cooked re.
volver, Mr.. Ray complied with as much cheer.
fulness as could be expected under the crcum.
stances, and handed over money and jewelry
to the amount of about 800. On leaving the
gentlemanly thief apologized most profusely
for having disturbed the family at such an un.
seasonable hour, especially as the booty was SO
much smaller than he had anticipated.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE WASHINGTON c. THURSDAY MAY H. 1885,

days fight, while others of>the excursionists
visited such portions of the battlefield as they
were personally interested In. The first spot
visited by the membersof the First Corps So
ciety was where Gen. Reynolds was killed, just
in the edge of the piece of woods now called
Reynolds Grove. The party then went to the
front, locating positions occupied by different
commands, and passed around onto the Cham
bersburg turnpike. stopped at the spot where
Tidball's battery, underthe Command of Lieut..
Calcf. was posted and then came back to the
ridge, now known as Buford's Ridge, where
that officer with his cavalry held the enemy in
check until the First Corps came up. The posi-
tions of nearly all the regiments and batteries
were satisfactorily located, and stakes driven to
mark them. A proposed.ro roadway or drive was
also laid out in front of the positions occupied
by the First and Eleventh Corps, which will
be completed at an early day by the Battlefield
Memorial Association.
This association, which held meeting on
the second day of the excursion, is negotiating
for the purchase of a large section of the land
in front of the Round Tops Since the battle
little change has occurred in Gettysburg and
vicinity. A few new houses have been built in
the town. an occasional house or barn in the
country embraced in the general term of battle
field, of which the infantry operations covered
about % square miles, while much of the cav
airy fighting was done outside of these limits.
What
WATERLOO WAS TO NAPOLEON,
Gettysburg was to the Confederates, and, as
Gen. Slocum said in his address at the Camp
fire, the day will come when it will be visited
by tourists with as much interest as Waterloo.
The Union troops went there to win victory.
and, although there were times when victory
seemed about to perch upon the standards of
the Confederates. the Union troops were not to
be forced from their positions more intelli-
gent rank and file, probably, never stood upon
any battlefield, and each man felt personal
interest and responsibility in the result, while
each knew what was best to be done in almost
every emergency as his leader.
The train returning left Gettysburg at
p. m. Tuesday evening, reaching Baltimore
about 910, where many of the veterans re-
manned to attend the Reunion of the Society of
the Army of tho Potomac, and Washington
at 1920.
All voted the excursion grand success and
gave great credit to the various committees
which had the matter in charge. Great credit
is also due the historian of the corps, Maj. J. III.
Slime, who has taken an active part in the
organization of all the corps excursions.
1t is to be hoped there may be other similar
excursions at convenient times to other fields,
as there is no better way in which the truth of
history can be brought to light.
The only regret was that there were not more
present, and possibly no one was
more missed than Gen. Longstreet.

o'clock on the morning of the 9th inst:

GAMBLE,
Consul at Auck land.
Extradition papers were prepared at st. Louis
to-day to he sent to Auckland. New Zealand, for
w. III. Lennox Maxwell. No agent for the
State has yet been appointed to go for Maxwell,
there being some doubt as to the manner oil
appointment. There is no occasion for haste,
however, as the officer who goes cannot leave
San Francisco before June g.
Chief of Police Hadrigan cabled Mr. Gamble,
American Consul at Auckland. instructing him
to hold Maxwell at all hazards until an officer
from Missouri arrived. The Police Board have
also telegraphed Secretary of State Bayard no.
tifying him that an officer will leave San Fran
cisco for Maxwell on June 6, and urges Mr..
Bayard, in conjunction with the British Min
lister at Washington, to see that Maxwell is not
released OH technicality until the officer
arrives.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE some weeks since
published a full account of the, frightful murder
in st. Louis hotel, of which Maxwell is sup
posed to be the perpetrator.
