Murderer Captured.

A special from Richmond Center,
Wis, of June LIST says Andrew Grand
staff, a young man and desperate, who
owns forty acres adjoining the Drake
place, was captured in Vernon county
and confessed to killing the Drake fam
ily. He was captured while in bed Fri
day by Pinkerton detectives and two
local officers. The detectives pumped
a full confession out of him. He in
tended to rob the old man Drake, but
was unable to make him disclose the
place where the family valuables were
hid. This led to his killing. Mrs.
Drake attempted to shoot Grandstaff
and he killed her in the presence of the
two children. To prevent the little
ones telling he cut their threats.
Grandstaff has been known as an ignO-
rant bVt cunning and daring semi-des-
perado. He has been a participant in
several ARRAYS and the associate Of hard
characters. Little is known of his an
tecedents, only that he was of illegiti-
mate birth As the people were greatly
excited and lynching threatened the
troops were ordered out by Gov. Rusk.

termined men surrounded the Jail, but
the authorities refused to give up the
prisoner. Barricades were then broken
down and the officers were OverpOwered.
An hour was spent in breaking down
the steel cage and then the prisoner
fought with desperate fury against
those who sought to enter. The strug-
gle did not last long and he was taken
ont, bound hand and foot, led to a
porch below and there preparations
were made to hang him. A rope was
placed round his neck and the prisoner
was asked what he had to say. He pro
tested innocence, but it was known he
had made full confession in the after
noon and he was not believed. At mid
night the scene at the Jail was horrible.
The prisoner was covered with blood
having been terribly mangled while the
steel cage was being battered down
He refused to make a confession to the
lvnchers and after some time they
strung him mp. When lowered he was
dead.

cold Weather hi Finland

Letters from Finland describe the
weather as having been most severe
during the last winter. At the be-
ginning of the week the Gulf OF Fin
land was as one huge ice desert. a
few days AGO q caravan Of Esthland-
ers from Re al visited HelsingfOrs,
having crossed the gulf with sleighs,
horses, fuel for fires, and provisions.
They report that the ice was about
two an3 One-half feet in thickness
every where. Their Journey took
about chree days and nights, and their
only guide was the compass. From
the TACT that the depth OF snow was
nowhere less than two or three feet.

culties they encountered. Eveyy two
or three hours they stopped, mada up

The sole, object OF this troublesome
passage was to sell a few hundred

An Egg of the Great AUX.

Pail Mall Gazette.
Recently another egg of the extinct
great aux (alca impennis) turned up
at sale at Stevens's rooms in the
collection of a Mrs. Wise, whose hus-
band bought it in 1851 of Mr.. Will
Jams, a dealer in Oxford street, for
els, it having been imported from
Paris. This specimen, which was a
very fine and perfect one, was put up
at 100 guineas, and after a brisk COM
petition was knocked down to Mr..
j. Gardner, the we'll known natural
list, for e22, the highest price ever
paid. 1t is said to be bought for
America. This shows a gradual in
crease in she price OF these rare eggs
of which there are sixty six known
specimens, forty three of them being

Hints to Employees.
rom the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
There is only one spirit that achieves
great success. The man who seeks
only how to make himself useful,
whose aim is to render himself indis-
psnsible to his employer whose whole
being is animated with the purpose to
I'll the largest place in the walk assign
ed to him, has in the exhibition of
that spirit the guaranty of success.
He commands the situation, and shall
walk in the light of prosperity all the
days. On the other hand, the man
who accepts the unwholesome advice
Of the demagOgue. and seeks only how
little he may do, and how easy he
may render his place and not lose his
employment altogether, IS unfit for
service. AS soon as there Is q super
numerary on the list, he becomes dis.
engaged at least valuable to his EN-.
plOyer. The man who is afraid Of do
ing too much is near of kin to him
who seeks to do nothing, and was be-
got in the same family. They are
neither of them in the remOtest degree
a relation to the man whose willing
ness to do everything possible to his
touch places him at the head Of the
active list.

If we have any subject for CongEatu-
iatiOn, 1t is the mental and physical
superiority of the girls Of the present
over the past. The sickly sentimental
maiden. who was too good for hui
man natures daily food" had no
modern counterpart. The opening Of
institutions Of learning all over the
land for the higher education Of wom-
en-, Of gymnasiums. and the popular
ity Of athletics with women IN America
and England have all tended toward
one end. Educating our girls has not
only made them mentally but physi-
cally stronger, by making them sensi-
bic of the absurdity Of tight-lacing
and other old-fashioned f0llies and
the need Of every healthy individual
for vigorous outdoor exercise. The
modern woman has learned the beau
ty OF health and the ughness of dis
ease. The adoption of English ideas in
living and dress has tended to make
our girls more attentive to the gym
nasIum and the daily walk, and to de-
pend more for the beauty of the COM
plexion on the cold water bath, like
the English girl. than on the rouge
pot of the French woman. it Is the
fashion to ridiCule the tailor made girl
in sensible gowns of cloth, neatly
fitted and we'll made, and heavy we'll
fitted boots OF strong leather, but she
is a great advance IN most ways on
the sentimental, languid type Of WO-
manhood with waspish waist and
thin shoes, artificial in her manner

uments of marble and other
mourning pieces for household dec
oDatiOns. The modern girl does not
start into hysteria at the sight of a
mouse. 1t IS the experience OF the
nurses at the head Of one OF the larg-
est training schools that educated
women invariably show their culture
by the control they exercise in cases
OF emergency. and, although no special
educational credentials are required
the few comparatively uneducated
who apply to be trained do not often
get beyond their months Of probation,
being found usually destitute of the
nerve of the educated woman.

better prepared TO be a hOusekeepeF

leave unaWares and the entire burden

In an account of the experiments in
firing with the steel oapola turrets
manufactured at the works in st. Cha
mond, Chatillon, and Commentry, pub
hshed some time ago, says CORE
spondent of the New York Times, it
was explained that the discovery of the
new. explosives had induced the mill
tary engineers to construct forts COM
composed of an enormous block of con
crete, within which the space was obtain
ed necessary to receive small garrison,
stores, and the turret, or two turrets,
armed with cannon, sometimes simply
rotary, and descending and ascending,
like those of ChatiIIon and Commentry.
The firing with the turrets has given
excellent results.
The second portion of the expert
ments, not less important and interest
ing, had Just been conducted in the
presence of Mr.. de Freycinet. The
question was whether the turrets, after
their great success in firing on the en-
envy, could themselves stand fire. Had
this been the case, France by q series
of forts, could have supplied the gap in
her frontiers and stopped the path Of
the invader long enough to mobilize
behind the protection of these works.
Unfortunately the experiment does
not seem to have been satisfactory.
The turrets were shattered by the first
shot and became terrible prOjectiles for
the fragments of steel struck with the
violence of a cannon ball The firing,
it is true, was at 40 metres, whereas
in a real siege the distance would be
5000 or 4, 600 metres. There is, how
! ever, nothing to show that the accuracy
and force of the explosives would be
lessened by distance, so that the result
! is very significant, Tor the possibility OF
an effective armament of frontiers, If
what is said be correct, is placed in
| doubt.
The coating of concrete, indeed, has
resisted, but this is an illusOry resist
! ence, for fort which resists without
arms is really no fort, and is no Obsta-
Gle to an enemy's march. The news
/ papers today argue that the fOrtresses
must be coated with concrete, but this
is a hazardous inference. If the fort
resists, while its guns are speedily 81
fenced, it stands for little whether o.
concrete or not. Some way must bt
found of arming the forts for aggressiv,
purposes; then only can they supply
substitute for strong frontier, and stoI
the march of the enemy. 1t would b'
better to have cannon without wall
than to have walls without cannon, ant
after the experiments of Chalons it /
apparent that the struggle viii continu
between the engineers who construc
and the artiIlerymen who destroy.
One conclusion, however, which wa
not looked for at ChalOns resulted
clearly from the last experiments
namely, that an iron plate, whateve
its thickness, does not offer suficien
resistance to the new explosives, an'
that iron clad ships are already practi
cally useless, and are condemned with
out ever having had a chance of show
ing what they could do. How man.
milIiards have been spent in vain VIVA

General Sheridan.

State Journal special, 1 Philip H.
Sheridan is general of the army, pro
NOTED and commissioned. Heexpress-
ed a desire this morning to know
whether the house had passed the bill
reported by Gen. Henderson and passed
last Wednesday, which caused Hawley,
Henderson and members of the house
to redouble their efforts today to secure
its passage in the house, and the fact
that one objection In the branch would
delay and doubtless defeat the object
Of the measure seemed to promise to be
an insurmOuntable objection to the sue
cess, and about 1 O'Clock today Gen.
SpinOla moved to take the bill up, but
the Texan, KilgOre, objected and In
spite of every effort of men to silence
him he persisted and was reinforced by
Oates of Alabama. Finally amidst
great confusion and the threats on the
part of republicans that they would fl
ibuster and prevent consideration of
any bill until the Sheridan measure was
taken up and passed, Mills rushed to
the front and asked for its passage, but
KilgOre maintained his objection At
last Oates was induced to leave the
house and KiIgore modified his obiec-
navs and the bill was taken up and
passed, Oates demand for division be-
ing ruled too late Close behind this
action were Senators Henderson and
Hawley, who passed rapidly over to the
senate, where Henderson was called TO
the chair. The passage Of the bill was
announced. Ingalls, signature was
affixed, the bill taken to the president
by Gen Hawley, who secured the ex-
ecutive signature, bringing back Gen.
Sheridan's nomination as general of the
army. The senate at once went into
executive session and confirmed ib and
Gems Henderson and Hawley hurried
up to the president, secured the COM
mission and ut o'clock proceeded to
General Sheridan's residence. placing
It into the hands of Mrs. Sheridan. who
said 1t would do the general great good.
