from the pile of baggage and placed in
the middle of the car, upon the floor.

That's more than can tell exactly.
You see things are somewhat mixed in

jumps and shot stops"

his pallid countenance, his eyes nearly
blinded by an unusual glare, the shcr-

''All right, my covey," replied Horn,

EARLY RISING.
How to Enjoy Nature In Her Brightest
Aspect.

How to Enjoy Nature In Her Brightest
Aspect
Every circumstance contributes to
render early rising advisable to those
who are in the enjoyment of health.
There is no time equal in beauty and
freshness to the morning, when nature
has lust parted with the gloomy mantl
which night had flung over her, and
stands before us like a young bride,
from whose aspect the veil which COW
cred her loneliness has been withdrawn.
The whole material world has a vivify
ing appearance. The farmer is up at
his labor; the forest leaves sparkle
with drops of crystal dew; the flowers
raisetheir rejoicing heads towards the
sun; the birds pour forth their anthems
of gladncss, and the wide face of
crt alton itself seems as il awakened
and refreshed by a mighty slumber.
All these things. however, are hid
from the eyes of the sluggard; nature
in her most glorious aspect is to him a
sealed book, and. while every scene
around him is full of beauty, interest
and animation. he alone is passionless
and uninspired. Behold him stretched
upon his couch of rest! In vain does
the cock proclaim that the reign of day
commenced. III vain uOtS the
morning light stream fierccly in by the
chinks of the window He hears not.
he sees not. for blindness and deafness
rule over him with desperate sway and
lay deadening spell upon his facul-
ties. And when at length he does
awake, far on in the day. from
the torpor of his benumbing
sleep, he is not refreshed. He
does not start at once into
new life-an altered man, with Joy in
his mind and vigor in his frame. On the
contrary. he is dull, languid and stupid,
as if half-recovered from paroXysm of
drunkenness He yawns, stretches
himself and stalks into the breakfast
parlor to- partake, in solitude and with
out appetite, of his unrefreshing meal,
while his eyes are red, his beard un-
shorn and his clothes disorderly and i'll
put on. Uncleanliness and sluggishness
generally go hand in hand, for the OBJ
tuseness of mind which disposes man
to waste the most precious hours of his
existence in debasing sleep will nat
urally make him neglect his person

WRIGHT KILLED RuTTlNeea.
He Had an Accomplish, who Has Disap
peared.


peared.
NEW YORK, March 20-District Attor-
ney Fitzgerald, of Richmond county, said
last night that the mystery Of the murder
of Carl L. Ruttinger, whose body was
found in the water of Tottenville, Staten
Island, on Wednesday Of last week, was in
a fair way of being solved, and that one OF
the murderers would probably be captured.
He came to this conclusion yesterday from
evidence that was given to the Staten Isl
and authorities by a young Englishman
who was fellow passenger Of Wright and
Ruttinger on the steamship City of Chi
cago, which arrived ON Jan. 10.
This young Englishman said he had
lived near Wright in England and knew
him well Wright, he said, was man of
bad moral character. On the voyage over
the young Englishman saw good deal of
Wright and Ruttinger. Ruttinger had a
big roll Of money, but Wright apparently
had none. Ruttinger paid for everything.
Wright and the young Englishman often
talked together
Once Wright told the young English
man that Ruttinger had 5000 in cash in
his possession and that he was a lace man
ufacturer. The tariff bill had ruined bis
business and he had sold out for the sl5,-
600 and was coming to America to start q
new lace factory. Ruttinger acted very
roughly toward Wright, and ordered him
around. Once on the voyage over he had
heard him call Wright a vile name. Wright
had said to him that IL he had any one C
help him he would throw Ruttinger over
/ board.
It is believed that Wright plotted witt
/ one Of his bad companions TO kill Ruttin

/ confederate came to America on the steam
er ahead OF Ruttinger. Wright then in

/ ville possibly to look at a site on which 1
lace factory might be built After getting
| him down there he drugged him OF tbs
confederate sandbagged him and robbed
him, and then Wright returned to New
| York and killed himself
When the young Englishman was asked
by the authorities how it was that such an
apparently weak man as Wright could
not only arrange such a plot but assist in
carrying IL out, he replied that Wright
was not such weak young man as he
looked. He had on one occasion whipped
a London bobby who was a good deal
bigger than himself and who was armed
with a club besides. When he was arrest
ed, though, his nerve gave out He pacet

1t was argued from this that he nigh

Ruttinger, but that after the deed wa
done il was very natural that he should
come back 10 New York, and in a momen
of fear or remorse commit suicide
