holland In the Penitentiary.

M. M. holland, the man who was con-
victed in Union county of sending the
internal machine through the express,
and who has been out on bond pending
the appeal of his case to the supreme
court, arrived at the penitenitiary one
morning last week unheralded and I'M
guarded. holland is probably the only
prisoner on record who went to the
penitentiary of his own motion and
without duress, and he is certainly the
only prisoner who ever paid his own
fare to the prison walls. AT an early
hour one morning the warden was
aroused by his knock on the prison
gates, and when the question who's
there?' was put, the answer came, "A
convict; open the gates" The warden
,pened the gates and was confronted
by a man in tears, of humble mein, and,
if guilty, evidently of contrite heart,
who introduced himself as the man who
was convicted of sending the Internal
machine to New Albany. holland had
a letter from Judge u. NJ. Stephens,
which explained his appearance at the
prison gates Judge Stephens stated
that holland came 70 the walls of his
own accord, since the supreme court
had affirmed the sentence of the lower
court and the verdict of the jury. He
is to serve five years unless pardoned
by the governor.

A HISTORIC SHOT.
Ii Was Made by One of Morgahs
Sharpshootsrs at the Battle
of Saratoga.

At Saratoga, the turning point of the
American revolution, the marksman.
ship of Morgan's rifiemen virtually de-
cided the battle. Several times during
this engagement Col. Morgan had no
ticed a noble-looking officer of the en-
cmy, mounted upon splendid gray
horse, dashing from one end of the line
to the other encouraging his troops.
Morgan recognized the brave fellow as
an officer whose conduct he had adj
mired in the battle of the 18th of Sep
TENDER. 1t was Gen. Fraser, who WAS
considered by the Americans more
skillful and dangerous leader than Bur-
goyne, and Morgan himself regarded
the issue of the contest doubtful as
long as Fraser remained in the sad
die. Soon after the action commenced
ability, sought out Morgan and said:
THAT officer upon the gray horse is a
host in himself. He must be disposed
of. Direct the attention of some of
your sharpshooters to him." Morgan's
generous instincts rebelled, but he saw
the necessity of performing the cruel
duty. War" as Maeaulay says, lis
never lenient but where ii is wanton."
Selecting II of his best marksmen, he
posted them in suitable position, and
pointing out the doomed warrior, said
to his men: He is brave fellow, but
he must die" Some of the rihemen
climbed into trees to get better sight.
Among them was Tim Murphy, re-
nowned scout from Northumberland
county, Pa, who, by means of dou-
ble-barreled rifle, then a novelty, had
been uncommonly successful in the In
dian wars. The shot was very diff
cult, for the distance was nearly a
quarter of a mile, and the backwoods
rifles had no elevating sights. The
riflemen rested their long pieces on
the forks of limbs and began firing.
In a moment the crupper of the gray
horse was cut by a bullet. The next
minute another ball passed through the
horses name. An aide remarked to
Fraser: "Sir, il is evident that YOU
are marked out for particular aim.
Would it not be prudent for you TO re.
tire from this place." Fraser replied:
my duty forbids me to fly from dan.
ger" The. next instant bullet from
Murphy's rife struck him through the
body, and he was carried mortally
wounded from the field.-Harper's

A deplorable tragedy occurred at
0kolona last week, resulting in the
leath of four cit zens. IL was street
duel between DIR. J. II. Murfee and his
son II ward on one side and Attorneys
Charles and Walter Clarke on the other.
The combatsnts lived next door to each
other, and the terrible affair occurred
in full view of the families of both par
ties. In one minute after the difficulty
began both the Murfees and Clarkes
were dead. All four men fell at the
same time and the body of DIR. Murfee
lay on that of Charles Clarke. Howard
lay about three feet away, and Walter
Clarke some six feet on the opposite
side of the two dead bodies. DIR. MUIR
fee had been for years the regular
physician of the Clarke family. Some
weeks ago dispute arose between DIR.
Murfee and Charles Il. Clarke over the
doctors bill for professional services.
Just as DIR. Murfee was leaving home
Clarke at his gate. The dispute as to
the account was renewed, and it is said
DIR. Murfee struck Clarke and knocked
him down. Clarke had knife, and,
quickly leaping to his feet, began to
stab the physician. Almost simulta-
neously Clarkes brother Walter
emerged from his yard and fred at DIR.
Murfee while the physician and Charles
Clarke were fighting. The doctor was
soon down, dying from the pistol
wounds. Howard Murfee came on the
scene, land in an instant Charles Clarke
went down under a bullet wound from
his pistol. Then young Murfee and
Walter Clarke turned their attention to
each other. Young Murfee was evil
IDENTIFY good shot. One bullet had al
ready sent Charles Clarke to his death,
and in a few seconds Walter Clarke
was down with three bullets in his
body. 1t is stated that Clarke fred
just as he went down under the third
bullet received from young Murfee's
pistol. 1t made young Murfee dead

What "KaIsOmine Are.

"Kalsomines" are cheap temporary prep
arations manufactured from chalks, clays,
whiting, etc, and are stuck on the walls
with decaying animal que. They bear no
comparison with Alabastine, which is ce.
ment that goes through process OF set
ting, and hardens with age. Consumers, in
buying Alabastine, should see that the goodA
