DYNAMITERs DOOMED.
Burton and Cunningham Both Sentenced
 for Life.

LONDON, May 19.-The trial of Cunningham and Burton at the Old Bailey was brought to conclusion. The courtroom was crowded with people to hear the Judges charge and see the termination of the case. Among the mo- liabilities present were the Lord Mayor and United States Minister Phelps There were many ladies in the room. The prisoners wore an anxious look and followed Judge Hawkins charge with intense interest.
 The drift of the charge was clearly against the prisoners. The Judge began by explain ing the nature of the charge against the pris- oners and expounded the law on the subject He then analysed the evidence, calling the jury's attention to the fact that Burton's state ment was not made under oath, and therefore entitled to very little credence. If there was any truth in the statement, said the Judge, it was astounding that no witness was called to support it. The Judge drew attention likewise to the fact that Cunningham and Burton had frequently been seen together and dwelt upon their connection with the trunk, what they had told their landladies concerning it, and the unsatisfactory explanation Cunningham had since given of his relations thereto.
 The jury then retired. They remained out not longer than fifteen minutes, and returned with verdict of guilty against both prisoners The Court at once sentenced both men to penal serVitude for life. The announcement of this sentence was received by the spectators with applause, which the Court suppressed.

Anything but That.

1 inquired of cowboy who had been to Cheyenne what kind of a time he had. "First rate," he said. "Went to a high-toned ball at the opera house, and did not understand the dances, but had as much fun whirling round with my gal as any of them. And the skat- ing rink" he said, "was immense. I put on a pair of rollers and crawled round the wall a while until I got cour- age enough to dart out in the middle of the floor. Then lost my balance, and caught girl with red sack on, and sat down op the floor with her. We'll, you know how thick my hair used to be Look at it now.

Had Been There Before.

Dave B-, handsome, brave, and popular young soldier in the Con- federate army, was fond of good living; and if there was anything in the poul- try, pork, or mutton line in the country round about camp, Dave was pretty sure to find it out, and to have some of it He was a shrewd, bold forager. He hardly ever failed in his mission. One dap he tramped many miles from camp over an adjacent mountain into lovely valley beyond, where it had come to his knowledge a flock of sheep were quietly feeding, Stealthily creeping upon them, he leveled his musket, fired, and saw one of the animals tumble over, while the rest scampered away with alright, As he strode toward his victim, two figures in Confederate uniform stepped out from their concealment behind some bushes and ordered him to halt. These were guards, stationed to protect the stock and property of rich old Virginia farmer. Our friend, with a sad heart, walked dejectedly before his captors to- ward large, elegant country mansion near by. The old gray-haired farmer met them at the door, and being fully informed as to how matters stood, showed a savage disposition, and abused our friend unmercifully.
 Finally he was asked if he had not visited that side of the mountain before. He was hesitsting as to what reply to make, but glanoing around, and seeing a pretty young lady silent witness oi the scene, he gathered new courage from her presence, feeling assured that so lovely a creature could not but sym- pathize and intercede for him. So, looking appealingly toward her, he an. swered that he had only been on that side of the mountain once before. The question then put was, "When was it ?" and he immediately answered, naming the day. No sooner had the words es- capped his lips than this lovely girl, in an excited manner, turned to her father and said, "Lor, pa, that was the very day we missed our old black SOW !"
 That settled the matter, and poor Dave was marched away to place of security to await trial by court.martial. -Harper's "Dramer."

HIS DEAD WIFE IN A SACK.
Louis Francois Arrested on his Way to
 the River.

tall Frenchman, whose back bent under the weight of a bulging canvas sack which was slung over his left shoulder, suddenly wheeled around the corner of Tenth avenue into West Twenty-eighth street, New York, and started down the dimly lighted thoroughfare toward the North River. 1t was about 24 o'clock in the morning, and the only other person stir ring ill the street was Policeman Thomas Me- Cormack, of the West Thirty seventh street station.
 The Frenchman walked half a block at an ordinary gait, but slunk in the shadow of the houses and cast anxious glances around from his deep-sunken eyes. When he caught sight posite side of the street he quickened his steps smartly and got behind 8 big truck. The policeman noticed the movement and felt sure he was burglar. He ran across the street with his drawn club.
 "What have you got in that bag?" he cried as he caught the Frenchman by the shoulder.
 "My wife," was the reply.
 Mccormack started back dumfounded and stared with bulging eyes at the Frenchman's bristling red moustache and then at the bag that he held ciutched tightly in both hands. "I tell you right" the prisoner repeated coolly. 'I have got my wife in the bag. l found her dead. l am too poor to bury her, and was going to throw her in the river.' Then the Frenchman swung the sack off his shoulder and carelessly let it drop on the side walk. A coarse canvas towel that was tucked over the opening fell of as the bag struck the pavement. It rev ealed two female feet covered with red woollen stockings protuding above l a woman's head. The body was doubled up and tucked tightly into the sack. The policeman seized the Frenchman by the arm again and rapped loudly for assistance. The alarm brought Roundsman Pless running around the corner at full speed. They got more policemen, and carried the dead woman | to the station on a stretcher.
 The Frenchman leaned against the rail at the station house and stared at Capt. Wash burn with perfect self-possession. q am Louis Francois" he said, with a strong French accent. iT live at 307 Tenth avenue, and found my wife dead there when came home. didn't kill her." Captain Washburn locked him up in cell and telegraphed for 8 Coroner, who hurried in, breathless, at 4 o'clock. The body of the dead woman was still warm and the limbs pli- able. The sack was made of course canvas. It was about three feet long and half as wide. The Coroner's verdict was that the Frenchman killed his wife by strangling her, hnd took this method of disposinG of the body

GEN. GRANT TO THE BOYS IN BLUE.
Pathetic Interview with the Old Command er-A Farewell Message to Old COm- rRdess

A farewell message from Gen. Grant to the soldiers who fought under his command was dictated by him Thursday to Lieut.. A. J. Hol- brook, of G. A. R. Post No. 68, of Boston. Lieut. Holbrook called on the General, in com pany with A. Howard Walker, of Cincinnati, publisher of the Grant memorial, soon to be issued, and who desired to present the General with an album containing the autographs of the first fifty subscribers to that work
 Lieut.. Holbrook says: "We found him sit ting in his armchair and he arose and re- ceiyed us cordially, He expressed himself as greatly pleased at the tribute from his friends in Cincinnati, and the tears of joy that stood in his eyes when he said it left no room for doubt that he spoke from his heart. The sou venir is so beautifully conceived he said, that cannot sufficiently express my pleasure at receiving it.
 "He arose and took me by the hand and sent message to the Boys in Blue to be de- livered to them at the annual encampment in Portland, Me-, in June. He said: Tell the boys that they probably will never look into my face again, Bor hear my voice, but they are engraved on my heart, and 1 love them as my children. What the good Lord has spared me for is more than I can tell, but 1t Is per haps to finish up my book, which shall leave to the Boys in Blue, in which they cannot only see me but follow me in the acts in which they helped me- He then took us into the library | and showed us the manuscript of his book. "Col. Fred turned over the leaves of the | volume to show us that it was in the Generals | own handwriting. The second volume was
 partly in his and partly done by an amannen- | sis. Just before we left him he spoke to us of
 his illness. He said that if the doctors had
 not lived there in the room; if they had been
 block away, or even one house
 away, he was satisfied that he would | never have spoken again. He was l convinced that there was an oYerTuline | Providence in the whole of his sickness. He
 said that he asked the doctor why they did no | let him alone and allow him to die, rather | than to bring him again to consciousness o1
 pain and suffering. But still, he said, I be | tieve in prayer, and l believe that an oyerrul
 ing Providence has something more for me tC do in the world, if it is only to finish m! | book"

FOREIGN ITEMS.

The English governments persistent re- fusal to announce the state of the peace nego- tiations with Russia tends to confirm the now universal belief that the hitch is of the utmost gravity. The guarded admission of the Secre- tGry for War that it is still thought advisable to concentrate the British troops now in the Soudan for possible service elsewhere strength ems this belief.
