A Very Dramatic Scene.

1t was a scene worthy of the brush of a
painter as the old gentleman lifted himself
in his couch, and taking seat at large
table in another room began to dictate to
Mr., Shields one of the most remarkable
statements to which 1 have ever listened.
Everyone present realized how much rested
on the words which fell from the lips of
that fine-featured, gray-headed old lawyer,
as in clear and distinct tones he made pub
lie for the first time a secret which had
been locked in his own breast for years,
and which meant so much to James w.
Miller.
As the narrative proceeded even the cool,
determined officer Of the law could not con-
tain himself as he listened to what he said
was one of the most cruel outrages and mis-
carriages of Justice which had been inflicted
in his knowledge on a mortal man. After
the story was told, in the dawn of the morn
ing as we were about to take our departure,
incidentally Miss Mosby's name was men
toned and Miller, drawing himself up
proudly erect, said:
"Colonel Moore, pledge you my word
that after this story is published to the
world, if it be necessary, will accompany
the writer, yourself and Detective McTighe
to the city of my birth and prove that
have a right to wear one of the best names
in this country"
cannot help but admire the will power
and the stern determination of purpose
which kept this man on his feet as he ira
versed town and hamlet searchil for the
evidence which would enable him to lift
his face and gaze into the eyes of friends
and loved ones and say: 81 have suffered ,un-
JUSTLY" and receive their congratulations
as they express their sympathy for the
frightful suffering he had endured while
passing through this ordeal.

r. Burst,s Address.

At the Glass Workers banquet at
Steubenville, Thursday evening, MIR: d.
II. Burtt, of this city said in brief that
his mind had been retrospective ana
carried him back sixteen years to con-
slider the condition of the Flint Glass
Workers, when many could not write
their own name. 1t was the fault OF the
system which put boys in the factories
before they were able to read and write.
The first President OF the glass-workers.
Achison Steen, when thrown out OF
work at Pittsburgh came to Steuben-
vile, where he worked until he DIED.
At present the President can go into
every factory in the country and be
treated like a gentleman. But the
work is rot done so long as factories
like Corning and Rochester, n. T., con-
tinue to hold out. Workingmen must
be united and march together II they ex-
pect to accomplish their object, he
paid a high compliment to the ladies',
for their endurance In suffering nard-
ships.

"Well, here's three dollars" said the
man with a defiant, own-the-earth air
and started out of the hotel taking a
carriage to the depot. The follow was
rushing off to catch the l:40 train on
The b. & o. road. But Sam stayed with
him like brother. No sooner had he
left the hospitable roof, than Sam girded
mp his loins. and started 10 pursuit. He
first called on Squire Phillips TO get At
tachment papers made out, but as time
was too short, nc FASTENED to the depot,
boarded the train where he was
soon in close communion with his
three-dollar friend. After laying down
the law with good deal OF stress, the
fellow concluded that 1t was better 10

rose smilingly 10 the surface. 1t was a
clerical coup d'etGt.
