Grant and the DrIny Soldier.

In the Century General Horace
Porter relates the following story in
his Campaigning with Grant. The
incident occurred during the attack on
what is now calleI "Hel's Half
Acre, near MsssAponax Church Gen
eral Grant had ridden over to the right
to watch the progress of this attack.
While he was passing spot near the
roadside where there we're q number
OF wounded, one of them, who was
lying close to tue roadside, seemed to
attract his special notice The young
mans face was beardless; ne was evi-
deutly young; his countenancs was
strikingly handsome, and there was
something in bis appealing look which
could not fail to engage attention, even
in the full tide of battle The blood
was flowing from a wound in his breast,
the froth about his mouth was tingsd
with red, and his wandering staring,
eyes gave unmistakable evidence OF
approaching death. Just then young
atafl-officer dashed by at full gsllop,
and as his horses hoofs struck puddle
in the road a mass of black mud was
splashed in the wounded mans face.
He gave piteous look, as much as to
say, "Couldn't you let mo die in peace
and not add to my suiferings?" The
general, whose eyes we're at that mo-
ment turned upon the youth, was visibly
affected. He reiued in his horse, aud
seeing from motion he made that he
was intending to dismount to bestow
some care upon the youug man,
sprang from my horse, ran to the side
of the soldier, wiped his face with my
handkerchief, spoke to bin, and ex-
amined his wound; but in few min
utes the unmistakuble death-rattle vas
heard, aud fonnd that he had breathed
his last. | said to the general, who
was watching the scene intently, "Tho
poor fellow is deal," remounted my
horse, aud rode on. The chief had
turned round twice to look after the
officer who had splashed the mud and
who had passed rapidly on, as if he
wished to take him to task for his care
letsness. There was n painfully sad
look upon the generals face, aal no
did not speak for some time. While
always keenly sensitive to the suffer
ings of the wounded, this pitifal sight
seemed to affect him more than usual.

The First English Duke.

OF the five titles of nobility in
England, the highest in rank and
honor is that of Duke. 1t is the first
title of dignity of the royal family,
but not the highest in antiquity.
There is no proof of its being used in
England before it was introduced by
Edward I'LL, about a year before he
himself assumed the title of King
of France. Edward. the renowned
Black Prince, was created Duke of
Cornwall, and he was the first Duke
in England after William the Con.
queror. After this creation the title
ofDuke was frequently given, especially
to members Of the royal .amily,

Chlp.er of the Garter.

1t is in contemplation for the Queen
to hold Chapter of the Garter at
Windsor Castle Oh June 22ee u gs, the
function be followed by banquet to
the knights of the order in St. Georges
Hall. The last Chapter of the Garter
was held at Windsor in 1855, when the
late Louis Napoleon was invested by
the Queen with the ribbon and insig-
MIA of the order. On those occasions
all knights have right to take part
in the proceedings, but only those
personages are expected who have
been summoned. In 1855 the then
Duke of Buckingham, who was ont of
favor at court, was not summoned,
but nevertheless, appeared at the
chapter. The Queen showed her dis
pleasure by omitting to invite him
to the dinner which was given after
the chapter to all the other knights
who had been present.

A Western engineer has patented
device by the use of which the
steam that is often allowed TO 60 to
waste when locomotive is standing
at a way station taking wood or
water, can be utilized for pumping
water for the tanks or reservoirs
around the station, 1t is customary,
at most large stations, to have sta
tionary engine and steam pump for
raising the water, but the inventor
claims by an arrangement this cost OF
fuel is saved, while the cost of add
ing the improvement will be less than
the cost of the pumping arrangement
now in use.

RAVlSHER STRETCHES HEMP
Raymond Bushrod Pays the Penalty
for Assaulting a Helpless Girl
With His Life.
RAVISHER STRETCHES HEMP
The Crime.

Hawesville, KY, Sept. 25.-(Special. y
A mob is looking for negro brute near
Petrie, in this county, and death by vio-
lence may be his fate before the dawn OF
Sunday. The negro, whose name is
unknown, assaulted and outraged this
afternoon Miss Maggie Roberts, aged
sixteen years, who was on her way to
the station, says the Courier Journal.
The negro was arrested shortly after
midnight and was brought to the Jail
here. He has made partial confession
and has also been identified by his vic
tim. He was brought here by a posse.
A crowd Of about fifty people remained
in town until about a. M, but the main
body OF farmers was expected to arrive
at any moment. The Jailer called all
the officers together and they remained
in the Courthouse to defend themselves
as best they could should the mob ar.
rive. Judge Adair reached the Court
house at 2:30 a. M, and had the negro
removed to place Of safety. Where he
was taken to only the officers know. He
will be removed from the county by the
first train.
Miss Roberts was beaten with an iron
coupling pin. The negro left her for dead
and escaped. The girl revived, and with
difficulty made her way to the home Of
her parents, where she told her story.
The father OF Miss Roberts at once
aroused the neighborhood, and search
was begun The negro was run into a
thicket and surrounded. Roberts then
came to this city, three miles from Pc
trie, and formed Sheriff posse. Every
horse and weapon to be found were
brought into service, and a formidable
body of men set out in the direction Of
Petrie.
The negro is believed to have been
one who was released from Jail here a
few days ago. He was seen this after
noon near where the crime was COM
mitted, drunk and with a coupling pin
in his hand.
Miss Roberts is said to be badly in
ijured, and it is feared she may not re-
cover.

the Jail and got the negro OUTPUT he
mistook their motive and held back,
thinking the. officers were part Of the
mob. The hesitation cost him his life.
The mob soon saw through the scheme
and came swiftly TO the Jail. The Sher-
IFS men stepped aside and the guilty,
trembling wretch was taken to the court
square.
"what have you to say?" asked the
leader.
81 am the man" said the wretch, land
this is my third offense."
"Rope," "rope" shouted half thou
sand.
"Here's a rope, )" said one.
"Give the man time to pray" said
Benjamin Roberts, the father of the
outraged girl.
The negro then prayed and confessed
several times. The rope was put around
his neck and several men climbed tree
next to the fence, threw the rope across
limb, and everybody made for it. In
an instant Hancock county's only raw
isher was suspended between earth and
Heaven, and half a dozen strong men
were pulling down on his legs. He died
quickly.
Raymond Bushrod the victim of tc-
days proceedings, is twenty years old
and native Of Rockport, Ind. A few
months ago he was arrested here for
stealing, and was only released a few
days ago. He was driven out of town
yesterday, and while on his way home
overlook his victim. He came to his
death exactly at the same hour to-day
that he made his assault yesterday.
A few years ago Bushrod criminally
assaulted a white girl in Rockport, but
nothing came OF it. Later he rayished
his aunt, a woman over sixty years old.
No one here blames any officer Of the
city or county, as regiment could not
have stayed the work. City Marshal
Thomas took the prisoner from the Jail
at o'clock this morning and guarded
him with a strong posse in the ceme-
terry on the hill, where no one would sus-
pect the hiding place.
The father and friends of the negro's
victim express themselves as well
pleased with the work. Not that it
helped the suffering girl, but that it may
be the means Of saving other homes
from the blight.
A stranger in the city, so old and bent
that he could scarcely totter, twirled
the negro's feet as the body hung from
the tree, raised his hat and said; "Thfs
is in defense of our wives and daugh-
tiers; may God bless the braves"
The Coroner's jury rendered the fol-
lowing verdict:
ave, the jury, find that the deceased
came to his death from the hands of an
unknown mob"

The Punishment.

Hawesville, KY, Sept. 26.-(Special. y
Special Judge Lynch held large court
here to-day, but there was only one case
on the docket. Raymond Bushrod, ne.
gro, aged twenty. third time ravisher, is
in eternity, sent there by the hands OF
an outraged community as reward for
his crime. When the Courier ournal's
correspondent left the iragmentary mob
at o'clock this morning and the local
telegraph Office had closed it was evident
that the rumblings and the mutterings
of the people were only a forecast of the
awful storm that was gathering from all
points. Never before in the history OF
the county had the people been 80
aroused as over this black aud diabol-
ical crime. Jails and private institutions
have been blown to pieces, feuds have
organized and shot and killed for the
game Of politics, yet there has never
been an occurrence that has caused such
wild excitement as that which happened
at 5 O'Clock this quiet Sabbath after
noon on Court square, even under the
shadow OF the principal churches Of the
city.
Judge John Adair communicated with
Judge Owen at Greensboro. The Circuit
Judge wired to get the negro on train
for either Greensboro or Louisville Il
possible; II not, TO have the Sheriff place
heavy guard about the Jail. The Louis
Vile train arrived here at 440 o'clock
and Judge Adair and the Sheriff knew
they dared not get the prisoner ON it
They then concluded TO try the Owens
boro train, which arrives at S;04 O'Clock
after dark.
In the meantime the mob had placed
spies at every road and they discovered
the plot. A rumor reached them that
militia from Greensboro would arrive Oh
the 4:lO train. They placed sentinels on
Lovers Leap, commanding view OF the
trains. "The soldiers are coming" wa
the cry, and then there was huTying tC
and fro. There was death in the air
The Sheriff, by the Judges order, gave
the alarm that the negro had escaped
from jail, and 500 people rushed pell'
nell down the slie.ts and across the
hills In pursuit
The sheriff and assistants rushed 10
