A LEGEND.
She beckled up. she beckled down,
SIN Tackled rnnrlA and ,-nlrtlaf fh.a tnu

She beckled up. she beckled down,
She beckled round and round the town,
She beckled in the silent wood,
And where the lone policeman stood.
The children watched her on her way
With disGffectiOn aud dismay;
The elder people in a crowd
Declared Il should not be allowed.
In vain. her weird activity
Grew and rsdOubled, strange to see;
The sound Of beckling far and wide
Fulfilled the haunted country side.

Beckie You ON the mountains brow.
Whittier (they cried, and where away
Are you a-beckling, ma'am, today.
And she heckied, and she beckled, and she
beckled night and day,
Till she beckled, beckled, beckled, beckled,
beckled right away.

Seward on Reconstruction.

In the Southern Bivouac for February Judge
Gayarre, of New Orleans. talks of interview
held with W. H. Seward, October, 1866. Judge
Gayarre asked what position the administration
would take. Mr.. Seward said:
Congress and the administration are at var
lance as you are aware. Our main object has
always been reconstruction. On that subject we
have never deviated or equivocated We want
the union of all the States. To arrive at it we
have asked of you four things, which we thought
matters of absolute necessity. First, the
iiation of tie doctrine of secession.
Third, the adoption of the federal debt.
Fourth. the reputation of the confederate
more to ask ofyou. We have no advice to give,
no blame or appreciation to express as to any
particular course of policy which you of the
South may pursue within the law and the Con-
stitution. The constitutional amendments are
proposed by Congress- not by US. We will not.
therefore, nrge you either to accept or reject
them; it is matter entirely between you and
Congress. The issue which we have made is re-
construction on the four conditions which / have
stated We are not going to be driven from that
issue. The issue made by Congress is differ
emit one and is intended to divert the attention
of the people from the real one. 1t is thus that
we act, we lawyers. Are you lawyers"
nodded an affirmative fThen you undo err
stand it," continued Mr.. Seward. well, let
them stick to the false issue we will stick to the
true Que. LOU Tue people pronounce. Inc elec-
tions are not yet over. We must be guided by
circumstances; our policy is an expectant one.
Let Congress pursue their course; we will pur-
sue ours. Let US see what they will do; it will
then be time enough to act They talk of i'm
peaching the President It would be again
changing the issue, as they have done once al
ready by their constitutional amendments. The
other issue would be the destruction of the gov
eminent The impeachment of the Presi-
dent would be singular way OF
restore the Union. Let them make that issue
and other false issues not US. / have always
said the same thing and shall never unsay what
/ have said, nor say now what have not said
from the beginning. Sir, although suppose
might be hung at the North for the sentiment,
have no hesitation in declaring that there was no
time, either during or after the war, when
would not have preferred seeing Jefferson Davis
himself in the Senate to seeing the South out of
the Union. Therefore, sir. although grateful
for the information on men and things in Louisi-
ana which you tender, we have no question to
ask because we are determined not TO act either
one way or the other We are satisfied Let
those who are not impose other conditions than
we have. It is their affair, not ours"

The Case Against General shaier.

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-In the trial of General
Shaler for bribery. to-day, counsel for the de-
Tense moved to withdraw the indictment and in
struct the jury to acquit the accused. The
court denied the motion. Counsel then opened
for the defense. and called General Shaler to the
stand. He stated, in reply to the question
whether he made any such agreement with M.
B. Wilson, as the latter testified to on the stand
yesterday, that such a statement was false.
Witness never had any conversation with Wilson
in regard to the mortgages at the time he men
toned. The witness denied in toto nearly every
statement made yesterday on the stand
by Wilson. He swore that Wilson never
came to his house and received from him
the satisfaction pieces. On the cross examina-
ton, General Shaer said that he and Will
son were intimate friends during 1884 and
previous years. Wilson worked hard to secure
the sale of these pieces of property to the COM
mittee. Witness supposed Wilson was working
for love and friendship. He did not believe that
Wilson would receive commission for his work
in the witnesses behalf. Witness had no claim
in the mortgages and had paid no interest on
them since Wilson acquired them. The defense
then rested their case.
Judge Barrett's charge was regarded with IA
vor by both sides. He advised the jury that the
accused should receive the benefit of his record
and good character previously The jury retired
at 3 p NJ, and at ii P. NJ. had not agreed.

The Terrible Sufferings of Man Living at
Penn Van.
Elmira IN. W Special.
A very peculiar case came to the notice of the
people of Penn Yam some time ago, and its prog
ress has been watched by the medical profession
with the greatest interest. Perry Danes, re-
spectacle citizen of the village, suddenly be-
came afflicted with singular disease. The first
symptom was peculiar itching of the skin over
the entire body. This continued for several
months. and the torture he endured was indie
scribable. During this time the skin was grad
ually thickened. The color was a
lurid red, and a burning sensation per-
vaded the entire body. Many physicians were

sufferer After time the skin became thick
and leathery. perfectly dry, and covered with
scales. Whenever the body was brushed white
scales would fall in showers. After the skin had
thickened and become perfectly parched and
surface of the body was thus affected The face
presented terrible appearance. The eyes were
nearly closed from the excessive thickness of
the eyelids. which lay in thick folds The skin
over tho entire surface of the body seemed to be
growing thicker and harsher during this time.
Mr.. Danes suffered untold agones, and was told
that his case was hopeless, and his time to live
was short. He had lost all faith in
medic ala. and WV; was anxious to have
At the meeting of the State Homeopathic Soci-
ETY. at Grove Spring, last fall, he was examined
by the leading physicians of the State, and so
rare is the disease that few of them ever wit
messed or heard of similar case. Two of them
pronounced it a we'll defined case of universal
eczema, and Mr.. Danes at once placed himself
under their treatment For long time no
change was apparent The scales that fell from
his body increased, and hundreds of people who
had heard of the strange case came to see him.
His skin presented very much the appearance of

The Minneapolis Mills.

MINNEAPoLIs, Jan. 27.-The -four market

in operation but for low water, this alone hold

made -four. several starting late in the week.
The production was go, 648 barrels, averaging
II, $50 barrels daily for days. against 70 500
barrels the preceding week, and 81, 900 barrels
for the corresponding time in 1885, Seventeen
mills were running to-day, but were the power
good the number would be twenty. Those in
operation represent a maximum capacity of
e. 900 barrels but probably are not turning out
more than Ia, 600 or 15 600 barrels. and of this
amount about 4500 barrels is being made by
steam, three mills being thus operated. An
other mill will start an engine soon, and proba-
bly, others will quickly follow the example The
need of pool to regulate the running of mills
in accordance with the supply of water has

William Sculiy, of London, Said To Be
Making Serfs of Illinois Tenants.

niCeSo cpeclai.
The Tribune devotes four columns, to-day, to
the career OF William Scully at present resi-
dent of London. England, who, it is claimed,
owns large tracts OF American land, and testi-
mony is offered to show that he has introduced
the Irish landlord system in the management of
his American properties. The paper, in its re-
sumo OF the allegations says
'Scully is of Celtic birth, but now lives in
London He is one of the chief figures among
the alien proprietors of American soil, and has
introduced the meanest features of the worst
forms OF Irish landlordism On his estates in this
country. 1t will startle the public to learn that
he has acquired in the neighborhood co.,
600 acres of land in Illinois alone,
at merely nominal fgure-50 cents
to 81 per acre as a rule. His
career as an Irish landlord was a history of OPP
preston and extortion that was appropriately
finished by bloody encounter with his tenants.
he was tried and acquitted on the charge Of
double murder, but became so unpopular that in
1850 he sold most of his Irish property and has
since devoted himself to building up landlord
system IN Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and other
States. He made entries Of the public domain
through the medium of the land warrants issued
to Mexican soldiers, which he purchased at the
rate OF 90 cents per acre In Logan county,
Illinois. alone. he has 40, 900 to d, 900 acres
1t is the almost universal testimony that
Scullys rule in that country has reduced $50
tenants and their families to a condition ap-
preaching serfdom. Furthermore, Sculy pays
no taxes, the tenants signing iron clad agree
ments TO assume the same, but they are required
to pay to Sculys agents the tax money at the
same time as the rentals--the 1st of January of
each year-whereas the agent need not turn over
the taxes to the county treasurer until about
June III following. 1t is suggested that Scully
probably makes handsome per cent. on
the tax money remaining in his hands
for FIVE months. It is also shown that
a great deal of this aliens land entirely
escapes taxation. thus increasing the burden on
other property holders; that he takes the most
extraordinary precautions to secure his rent, ex
ecuting cast-iron lease with provisions that
mortgage the tenants all, scarcely allowing his
soul to escape, and making it compulsory for
small grain to be sold Immediately after harvest,
no matter what may be the condition of the
market; that grain dealers are notified not to
buy of the tenants until Scully's rent is paid-in
short that Scully has founded land system so
exacting that it is only parallsled in Ireland and
rules his tenantry SO despoticaly that few can
be induced to tell the story of their wrongs.
