SAYS HE IS A ENTHUSIASTICALLY
evening Officer Joshua Sherwood arrested
negro named Mitchell Wood on the streets
for drunkenness, and confined him In the
station house. Sometime during the night
Wood called Officer Sherwood to his cell,
and told him he was murderer, and was
wanted in Richmond for the murder of John
Jones, in May, 1870; that he murdered him
for his money and after shooting him five
times on Church Hill he robbed him of sos;
that after being pursued eight blocks by the
police he escaped to City Point; be went
thence to Havre, France, thence to London,
returned to Canada, visited Quebec, Mon
treal came to Buffalo, Rochester, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, passed through
Washington city, and finally landed here to
confess his crime and express his willingness
to he punished. Wood says his conscience
will not let him rest either day or night, that
life is burden insupportable to him, and
that he had rather hang, as he expects, than
to be tortured and conscience smitten. Capt
Webster has written to the chief of the
Richmond police enquiring if this man is
wanted there. .

Then Mr.. Olsen leaned over the rail- and rails

She Overcame Her Awe at Last.
From the Chicago Times.

FROM tue CHtCCt0O IULSS.
Harriet Beecher Stoves son. the Rev Charles
E. Stowe of Hartford, Conn.,, met with an ex-
perielce the other evening which com pletely
nonpused him. One evening quite recently
he dined with Mrs. j. W. Boardma an, prcprie-
tress of the Hotel Woodruff. Visiting Mrs
Boardman is a cute little niece about years of
age. She is regular chatterbox, and makes
many bright remarks during day. Fearing
lest the child would astonSh the preacher by
some outlandiSh saying, her aunt warned her to
keep mum during the dinner.
The admoniton was listened to with awe, and
at the table the little scarcely dared look at
Mr.. Stowe, not wishing to commit supposed
sin. While the servant was absent from the
room the little girl noticed there was no butter
in her small pink dish.
She didn't mind holding her tongue. but to
eat bread without butter-that would never do.
She took a survey of the table. and 10 and =
hold the butter dish was directly in front of the
preacher. Wistfully she gazed at both for a
few seconds. New in her brief existence did
she appear so Pensive. Then gathering all her
courag and clearing her throat she said: Dear
pastor, won't you Please, for Christs sake. pass
the butterg'
The Rev. Mr. Stowe never received such a
shock He leaned over in his chair to pick up
his napkin, which, OF course, had not fallen.
Mrs. Boardman must at that moment arrange a
window curtain, and the other guests were sud
denly troubled with a friendly cough.
Little Mabel self-satis1ed that she had done
the proper caper. was the only one at the table
VINO could positively prove hat she was alive.
