II Old Greek legend of Zeuxis and

there and contributed his quota to the
designs. One day he amused himself by
painting on the wall in the corner of the
room near the Dashboard, a hole in the
plastering, as though some ill-natured
fellow had vented his spite against the
world by kicking a hole in the wall.
Inc picture was capitally done; there
was an ugly, ragged hole in the plaster

from the corners, here and there around

Time wore OF and Rodriguez left the
rooms: another tenant came in and
wanted the place cleaned up and put in

given TO repair the walls and kalsomine

brush repaired thither with his men,
armed with buckets of plaster to fill the
numerous nail holes and scars i'll the
walls. His attention was at once di-
rected to the big hole near the side

it. He kneeled down before it, dipped
his brush i'll water to wet the lathes be

THE VERDICT.
Doodle Alderman McQuade
Found Guilty.
The Red Headed Rooster of

Rising Star Lodge Of United
Thieves.
McQuade Found Guilty.

New YoRK, Dec. l5.-McQuade was
found guilty ON the nrst ballot.
Recorder Smith, i'll his charge to the
Jury in the McQuade case to day. stated
that the corroboration of the testimony of
the accomplIces pronounced the testimony
OF the servant girl, Katie Metz, as direct,
mistaken and worthy of having much
weight. 1t was for the Jury to decide
whether Duffy and Fullgrafi7 testimony
had been corroborated. The court also
reviewed at length and laid stress upon
the relations OF Moloney and the members
OF the board aldermen with the officers
and attorneys of the Broadway road. The
fact that the prisoner had not been put on
the stand in his own behalf must not be
taken against him. the recorder said in
conclusion.
Just half an hour after the retirement
of the Jury, as Gen. Tracy and Mr.. New
combe were passing down the stairs to
dinner, an officer ran after Newcombe and
catching him, breathlessly exclaimed:
Come back; they are agreed. The
crowd, which had hardly left the court
ROOM, rushed back and for several min
ntes the greatest excitement prevailed.
But the principal man, whose liberty was
at stake, showed no more sign of interest
than if he was only an ordinary spectator.
Presently the jury came in. They had a
funeral expression Of face. The roll was
called and Foreman Henry Gutenberg
stood up, and in reply to a question re-
piled:
Guilty of the crime as charged in the
first count in the Indictment. The roll
was called again, aad each juror answered
Guilty as his name was called. When
the verdict was given to the court Nc
Quade alone remained unmovcd. Ills
demeanor was not different from that OF
any other day of the trial.

A Missing Steamer.

New YORK, Dec, 1.-The marine
operator at Sandy Hook last night mis-
took the signals of the Guion line steamer
Alaska for those of The general Trans
Atlantic company's boat La Burgoyne
and reported the arrival of the latter. Up
to midnight tonight She had not been
sighted. The Alaska was obliged to
anchor outside the bar for high water and
did not reach her wharf until nearly noon.
With the Burgoync She was due on Sun
day morning. Very severe weather was
experienced and for Il long time the en-
zines were only under half movement.
Excitement ran very high to-day when it
was learned that the Burgoync had not
arrived. She has in all 700 passengers on
board. About the Battery it is thought
that the Burgoyne's machinery is dis
ablcd, and that She is proceeding to this
city under sail. They base their be
lief Of the fact that the steamer Canada,
which arrived Sunday. reported having
seen about $50 miles off Sandy Hook the
Trans Atlantic steamer under.canvas, APP

demns Field to pay costs.

CHARLESTON, Dec. IA week ago
the Neics dRd Courier published a dis
patch from York county, South Carolina,
reporting that a white boy, named John
Lee Good, had been so beaten and man
eled that he soon died, and that four col
ored men had been arrested as the muir
dercrs and committed to Jail. 1t vas
stated that the theory was that some of
the negroes had been detected by the boy
in the act of stealing cotton from his
father field, and that to prevent their
arrest they killed him. There was great
excitement in the county in consequence
and several more arrests were made. The
Neics and Courier, to get the facts, sent
a special correspondent to York and will
publish to morrow the result of his invest
igatlons. There is evidently an alarming
state of affairs in York county, and it is
probable that an organization exists
among the colored people which contem-
plates murder in the event of detection of
any member accused. Twenty-six negroes
are now under arrest. The inquest on the
body Of the murdered boy before n dis
Greet Jury brought out all the facts. One
VI tht ntBIocS iulltu Slilc ; tNllcntt,
and another admitted that he killed the
man who was found murdered in the
county eighteen months ago. Several
OF the colorcd witnesses at the inquest
swore distinctly they had a club in
the county for the purpose of stealing
cotton, provisions, whisky, etc. The
members were to steal whatever they
wanted, and if detected were sworn to kill
the person who detected them. The club
had different names, but was generally
known as the Rising Star Lodge No. II,
Of the Grand United Order of National
l.aborcrs and the Political Society of
North America. The charter came from
Charlotte, n. c., and is dated Dec. 1854.
The charter, however, would seem to show
that the society had only benevolent and
fraternal object. Among other things
revealed at the inquest was a plot to way
lay wealthy men who had money. One
of the witnesses gave Il detailed account
of the murder ofthe poor boy, John Lee
Good, and also the names of his accom-
plices in the crimes. The talk of general
lynching has abated; but Indignation and
unrest are intense.

All the forest property in the United
States, even when composed of the most
common and least valuable trees
within easy distance of railroads, has
greatly increased in value of late years.
n much of it has already been de
stroyed or culled Of its best trees. Sew
eral of our most valuable timber trees
nave now become exceedingly scarce,
and 1t Is no uncommon thing to see
black walnut or cherry logs hauled
fifty or sixty miles to a railroad. while
small portable saw-mills are eating their
way in all accessible hardwood forests
in which trees can be found fit to make
INTO understandable lumber. The hard
wood forests of northern New England
and New York have only been spared
because they contain no material which
can not be found of better quality and
in greater profusion in other parts of
the country.
When it is considered how short the
supply of many of our timber trees has
become in proportion to the consump.
ton, no one will deny the wisdom of in
Producing the production of such trees
into the agricultural industry of the
country.-New York Sun.

49,
Rockies.
WASHINGTON, Dec l5.-In the house.
to-day, Symes, of Colorado, offered sew
eral amendments increasing appropria-
tons for the signal service bureau, and
these being opposed by Randall, he pro-
ceeded to criticize that gentleman S action
as chairman Of the committee on appro-
priatlons. He did not envy the gentle.
man who lived upon the Atlantic coast
his narrow minded craftsmanship which
did not cross the Mississippi river. If the
gentleman did not grow fast enough on
principles Of craftsmanship to extend
some privileges to the people..of the West,
those people would see that n man was
made chairman of the committee on APP
preparations whose vision extended beyond
a few signal stations on the Atlantic
coast.
Mr. Randall, in reply, said that the
pending bill carried more appropriations
for the Pacific coast than any similar bill
for years past. He thought he knew his
duty tolerablv well, and he did not pro-
pose to be frightened from the perfor-
nance Of that duty-certainly not by the
words Of such demagoguery as had eman-
ated from the gentleman from Colorado.
Symes thought that the gentleman
had better read the dictionary for the
meaning OF the word demagoguery. A
demagoguc, as defined by the best political
writers OF this country, was a man who
was the pretended leader of a great party
and who had as his only stock in trade
ability to go through an appropriation
bill with a cheese pairing knife, and cut
ting off Il few dollars here and a few dol
lars there, make a reduction of $j,OOO.-
600 from appropriations of last year. If
that was craftsmanship of the great lead
ers of the Democratic party, God save
the country from such craftsmanship !
Laughter and applause Randall pre-
dicted that the Democratic party would
live to thrive and control in this country
without regard to the gentleman opin-
ion of its leadership. Applause.
The amendments were rejected.
