One week had elapsed since the occurrences re-
lated in the foregoing chapters had transpired.


The old gardener was wandering dejectedly a.
lone in one Of the city church yards, when long
and imposing funeral procession entered the en-.
closure, the pallbearers in advance bearing an
exceedingly rich and expensive burial case. Has
tily rising from marble slab, upon which he had
but just seated himself, he invountarily followed
the procession, and shortly AFTER found himself
beside newly opened grave. With shudder
and suppressed cry of mingled terror and sor.
row, the old man staggered back among the circle
around the coffin, for there-gleaming up from the
surface of the massive silver plate-was the name
of LOUISA GRAvELY."


The impressive burial services were performed,
and the coffin about to be lowered when twas dis
covered, that the grave was nearly half full of wa
ter A brief consultation ensued, the nature Of
which could only be surmised from the fact, that
the burial-case was shortly after removed to a
neighboring vault with large marble doors and glass
pannels. Through these pannels, the old gardener
gazed, as soon as the procession left the cemetery,
and there he caught glimpse of the childish face
of the rich mans beloved daughter, now rigid as
marble, but still beautiful to look upon. The lid
of the coffin had been arranged in such peculiar
manner, that the silver-plate was movable and
worked upon slides. At this time it was down,
leaving the meek and sanity face entirely exposed


Looking upon that face, he was reminded of his
poor missing wife and of the melancholy fact, that
for her sake and on her account was this fair and
lovely young being hurried to an untimely grave.
Musing upon all the circumstances connected with
the mysterious disappearance Of his poor Maggie
and the apparently consequent death of Louisa,
his heart grew unwontedly sad within him; and he
looked half enviously upon the quiet sleeper before
him and longed for rest as unbroken and peace
full as that he turned to leave; but before doing
so he would give one long, lingering look upon the
tenant of this gorgeous vault.


In doing this, and in his anxiety to obtain bet
ter view, he tip-toed upon the granite steps and
leaned forward supporting bis entire weightagainst
the marble door. A harsh, grating sound-a diz-
zy sensation of falling the next moment the
door was creaking upon its hinges and the old gar
dener lying outstretched upon the damp and
mouldy floor of the vault.


Owing to some unaccountable negligence, the
parties depositing the coffin in the vault had neg
lected to secure the door behind them, but had

SAVE SoMErH1Na.-The workngman should
not live fully up to his income, unless it be mat
ter of absolute necessity. Ifhe can only hy aside
one or two dollars per week, it is some provision
against want and suffering when he is unable to
take his accustomed place in the workshop, The
strong man is sometimes bowed down by disease;
or his wife and little ones may languish on the bed
Of illness. At such times the family expenses are
increased. The doctor must be paid medicine
must be bought, and deGcacies must be provided
for the sick. The mechanic who has nothing laid
up for "rainy day. must suffer when sickness
keeps him from daily toll. His wages are stopped,
but his expenses continue, and, ere he knows it,
suffering and want are added to his woes. Those
who, by small weekly or monthly contributions,
entitle themselves to the charities Of benevolent
institutions, actwiselyan well. Any plan by which
they provide against such contingencies as we have
mentioned is worthy their attention. Let the
workingman economise while in health, and always
keep fund in reserve for the uncertain future

SEEING IS DEcEIyING.--Here is

They are such as are made
up of two equal shapes. Look
carefully at these and you will
perceive that the upper halves of
the characters are a re7y little
smaller than the lower halves
so little that an ordinary eye will
declare them to be of equal size.
Now, turn the page upside down,
and, without any careful looking
you will see that that this differ
ence is very much exaggerated
that the real top half of the let
ter is very much smaller than
the bottom half. 1t will be seen
from this that there is a tendency
of the eye to enlarge the upper
part of any object upon which it
looks. We might draw two cir
cles of unequal size, and so place
them that they should appear
equal.-Once q Week.

'sMy dear young lady, your

time by dark cloud, but when
it re-appears it will continue to-
shine with uninterrupted splendor

a fine castor hat, will pay you a
visit and request your hand in
marriage. You will accept his
offer, become widow, in possession
of all his property, before the close

be the young man of whom you
think most at present. ~,


Three days after the old gentle

cribed by the gipsey, presented
himself to the young ladyG and
the marriage followed. More

Unwarranted Action OF a Judge -


Fight Between the Bench and Press


The Young Murder Trial.


Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 4.-This city was
considerably excited during yesterday over the
struggle between the editors of the Ddity Journal
and Sentinel on the one side and Judge Chap
man, Of the Criminal Court on the other grow
ing out of the publication OF the testimony in
the Young murder trial, now in progress in this
city. The Judge ordered the papers not to pub
lish 1t. The papers did publish it, and yester-
day the Judge arrested the reporters of the
Journal and Seatinel and fined them twenty-five
dollars each. He then issued attachments for
the editors OF the Journal aud Sentinel. They
appeared, and it appeared that the Judge was
going TO try them without any complaint having
been filed against them.


The editors denurred to such a proceeding.
As the Court could have no judicial knowledge
Of this contempt, they were discharged, but in
few moments an affidavit was prepared and
attachments were again issued. But one of the
editors was found, and The proceedings were
postponed until to-day. The whole city Is
excited at the conduct of the Court in forbdding
the publication of the testim ony ;.and the belief
is rapidly gaining ground that the case is to be
smuggled through, and the accused acquitted
through the influence Of money. The judge
ordered all of the reporters of the city papers
from the ROOM bat they Will nevertheless ap.
pear day with full reports of yesterdays
proceedings. The papers maintain that the
Judge has exceeded his authority, and they
propose TO fight it out in this line.

A LOYAL TRUTH.--lt is but seldo IN
that we find the Disunion organs tell
the naked truth, but the Revolution,
a Radical paper, says "there are 81 X
4" ty thousand people out Of employ
4" in New York, and two hundred
thousand in all the United States
" A million of mouths short Of food in
q" country which was groaning with
4" abundance in 1865" Is the proper
remedy for all this to be found in con-
tinuing to tax Northern white labor
to support negro idleness in the South
IN keeping a standing army of 1000
men in excess of the peace basis, as a
means of compelling the whites in the
South to yield their civilization tC

so. But white workingmen in the
North look at the matter in a differ.
ent light, and their opinions are be-
ginning to be reflected from the bal
lot box.

Within the next six weeks the Dem
ocrats of this county will be called
upon to select their standard bearers
for the approaching campaign, which
all parties admit, will be the most
vigorous and exciting, this country
has ever passed through. Every Dem
ocrat who loves his country and in
tends his offspring to enjoy the bless
ing of liberty in the future, must press
TO the front. We want no straglers,
nor "dead BEATS" nor skulkers in our
ranks; and if we attack the enemy
vigorously beyond doubt we will
secure a glorious victory.


Those, therefore, who contemplate
offering themselves as candidates for
county Offices in the approaching can
vass, may as we'll be informed now
that the party will require much at
their hands. There will be no divi-
ding Of responsibilities. Our nomi-
nees must do their duty to the party,
after which the party will discharge
its duty to them.


Two elections are TO be held this
year. Time, talent and means will be
required by those who seek posts of
honor and profit. Those persons who
intend to offer themselves at the ap-
preaching primary election for Con-
gress, Senator, Representative, Pro
thonotary, Register & Recorder, Com
missioner and Auditor, will be requir-
ed to bring into the contest just what
we have enumerated; and those cho-
sen for our standard bearers at the
primary election, will be required to
put on the harness and wear it until
the fourth day of November next
They must prosecute the campaign
vigorously, and sec that every Demo-
cratic voter is brought to the polls.
Our nominees must carry the party,
and not the party them. Dead weights
and all unnecessary baggage must be
discarded. We want no candidates
to wage a vigorous campaign in their
own interest exclusively, previous to
the primary election, and when it is
over never let themselves be seen out
of their own yards. Tho people will
require those who manifest so much
zeal for their owR interest before, TO be
equally jealous for the interest Of the
party dfterUdrds. Democrats when
approached by candidates before the
primary election, should refuse to
support them unless they agree to at
tend to the interests Of the party af-
ter they are nominated, and should
they refuse, then the citizens should
refuse to support them ; because it is
not expected that citizens who neith-
or seek nor care for Office, should car.
ry on a campaign for the benefit of
candidates.


We expect 10 take party interest
in this campaign, and desire to dis
charge our duty in our humble way
TO the best of our ability, and we want
our party friends to do the same. AS
Chairman of the County Committee,
we will most likely "turn up" in eve
ry borough and township of the soun-
ty, and we expect township commit
tee men and candidates to "swing
around the circle" too. Let us make
one long, strong pull altogether, and
drive from power the plundering,
Union.hating, ncgro-loving scalliwags
who are breaking up the government
and demoralizing the people.

The last recorded motive power that has come

engineer, had ut the great exhibition IN engine
set in motion by the application Of ammonia, and
the saving Of expense and relative gain in power
said to have been surprisingly great For in
stance n common fifteen horsepower steam engine,
working four hours, consumed 247 kilogrammcs
of fuel while the ammonia engine, working four
hours and eighteen minutes, consumed only 10Y
kilOgrammes, a saving of about sixty per cent.
The new apparatus can be readily applied to the
o!d steam boiler. Experiments prove that common
LIQUID ammonia bOils ut 30 degrees centigrade, and
IL degrees gives pressure of six atmosphercs,
while the same pressure produced by steam re
auires heat of 100 degrees. No copper or brass
can be used in ammonia engines, as they rapidly
deteriOrate from contact with the ammonia, but
iron is not subject to this objection. Ii does not

motive power what would be the odor in the i'm

NoTHING LIKE LEATHER.-Count d'Artois
wore very tight leather breeches. He had
ordered his tailor to attend on him one morn.
ing. when his grand daughter, who resided
with him had also ordered her shoemaker to
wait upon her. The young lady was seated
in the breakfast-room when the maker of
leather breeches was shown in; and, as she
did not happen to know one handicraftsman
more than another, she at once intimated that
she wished him to measure her for pair of
" leathers," for as she remarked the wet
weather was coming, and she felt cold in
cloth" The modest tailor could hardly

A STRANGE SIAMEsE RoMANcE.-Th
priests BONES of Siam, are vowed to
celibacy and monastic life. Death is the
certain consequence of any known departure
from the vow of celibacy priest must not
even be supposed to be conscious of the
presence or existence of such temptation as
women, to the interruption of that abstract
contemplation which is the aim and end of
the Buddhist votary One among the priests,
who swarmed in one of the large monastaries
attached to the temples, had been remarkable
for his uhfinching zeal in the practice of
every art of self sacrifice eDjoincd by his
religion, observing the most rigid abstinence,
and also silence which gave external evi
dence Of the abstraction Of his mind from all
the cares and concerns of this mundane exis-
tence. He had taken his turn with his
brethren to issue forth upon the river at early
dawn, to receive the daily contributions of
provisions so willingly set aside by the peo
pie for the sustenance of the BONES. Some
times he went alone; latterly on the occa
sion of his fulfilling this mission alone, he
had not returned without some unusual
delay. There is certain body among the
priesthood, whose especial duty it is to watch
over the private and public conduct of the
other members of their fraternity and to
bring them to trial for neglect of duty or on
conviction of any crime, religious or moral.
These officials being apprised that grave
suspicion attached to one of their order,
placed a spy over his conduct. Having
selected for this purpose one Of the most tried
and sagacious among themselves, he began
his task by studying closely the movements
and actions of the supposed delinquent. On
his return from one of the missions on the
river, unperceived. he watched him as he sat
alone. He appeared frequently to take
something from his BOSOM which he pressed
to his lips, and then returned to its resting
place. The spy drawing gradually nearer,
was enabled to satisfy himself that the treas,
ured article was a rose further observation
the next occasion of the culprit's sallying
forth on the river, his course was tracked
by the spy, by whom he was seen to enter
the gate of one of the gardens sloping down
20 the water and to meet a young and hand
some Laos girl, with whom, contrary to the
sacerdotal law. he was seen to exchange
words, from whose hands he was also guilty
of receiving a rose which he pressed to his
lips. At length, being found absent from
his cell at a late hour in the evening he was
proved to have kept secret assignation with
the same maiden-an act which sealed his
fate. The following day he was tried for
his crime, and condemned to cruel death !;
while similar sad fate was adjudged to the
unfortunate maiden.
