not easily be filed. For many years he had oc-

county and his cordial manner and whole-souled
nature had won for him hosts of personal friends
who, with us, will mourn his death. But few
months ago he was apparently in the enjoyment
of excellent health. Now in the vigor OF his
manhood he is laid low by the hand OF death.

Conspiracy Against a Young Wife.

Des Moines, Ia, SPECIAL: Private advices just
received here from Devils Lake, Oak, confirm
a remarkable story which has been going the
rounds there fort past few days. The storyis
to the effect that the sheriff and a son of II CON-
missioner of the county were conspiring to kill
the young wife of the commissioner during
his absence at New Orleans. The son is her
step son. She claims that she has over
heard the persons in question planning to as
sassinate her, and when she heard them CON-
ing to her room she fled to the house of a
neighbor, leaving her five-months old
babe at home, Arriving at the place above
named, she related the strange experience,
and explained as a reason for the
conduct of the two men the fact that
they had recently stolen a calf. She also charged
her husband with participation in the calf kill
irg, and i'll proof other story she told where
day her neighbors visited The spot Indicated by
her, and there found the hide. While the eX-
citement was at its height the commissioner
returned home, and ascertaining the extent of
the social explosion, it is said, he at once re-
signed his position as commissioner and to-
gether with his son and the sheriff quit the
country, leaving his young wife alone. She
claims thatthe sheriff and her stepson had
prepared a grave in the stable in which they
intended to bury her. The story has some re-
markable features and may develop into a
great sensation. The names of the parties are
withheld until more light on the subject can
be obtained.

The Young Mem of o.her Days.

I often wonder if the young men Of
this day enjoy themselves as much as
We old fellows used when we were their
age. I sometimes think they do not,
because they pay more attention to
their dress than their pleasures. Posi-
lively one everyday young man is 3
repetition of the other. They are as
much alike as Cinnamon. 1t is difficult
to tell them apart unless one fellow has
a cast in his eye, a limp, or has a brok-
en- nose. To me they look as if the
same tailor made their clothes, the
same bootmaker their boots and their
hair and mustaches were trimmed
by the same barber. Their manner
isms have been acquired at the
same school, and their slang studied
from the same book. They tire me
because I am old, and I detest q young
fellow who cannot be original in some-
thing-his vices even, if nothing else
be left him. The old crowd, the crop
of gay boys that Aourished twenty years
ago, were more Independent. If one
fellow appeared with long hair, his
friend would have his own cut short.
If one invented and acquired an odd
expression, oath or otherwise, his right
to it was respected. Nobody tres
passed upon his preserves, nobody bor-
rowed his property. His method of
lighting q cigar, or lifting his hat, or
wearing his necktie was never copied
by a friend. Indeed, the man who
could not cut his own swathe, who had
not brains enough to devise a peculiar
ity, was barred from our circle.-Ingle-
side.
