We have heard oftoiling sons resorting
to many crooks aud turns to secure EN-
ployment, but il is rare That one Of them
gets so desperate as to attempt the ever
lasting removal of fellow-cresture, in
order to fill his situation in business and
enjoy his wages. Such case is reported
to have come to light in this city, yester
day. 1t seems that man named Caspar
Render has long fancied the position OF
the fireman Whose name we have not
learned) at the Beargrass Distillery, on
East Main street. So intense was his
anxiety to supercede the fireman that he
hung around the distillery for many days,
seeming to anticipate that the coveted
place would be vacated; but be vainly
laid this aattering JUNCTION to his soul
the old fireman continued to wood up
and keep in the graces of his employers.


Rehder's itch for something to do grew
worse and worse, until last Wednesday
(instigated, as report goes, by woman
whom he claimed to be his wife, he
adopted plan to get the envied fireman
out of the way by poison. With this view
he either bought or caused to be made
PIE, beHSOutu WIN eOuc ucduiJ pO"uOlot
and, having previously learned of the
fireman fondness for this kind ofdessert,
presented it to his victim at dinner-time.
1t was accepted, but the fireman had
eaten so freely n the good wife's cookery
that his appetite refused the alien pie,
and he laid it aside for supper. AT the
evening meal he did not feel like trying
the pie, so he threw it to his dog. The
brute swallowed it with avidity, but in a
few minutes he was as dead as herring.
The fireman at once comprehended the
evil star that had threatened him, and
realized how narrowly he had escaped
sudden and fearful death. He immedi-
ately gave the alarm, and diligent search
was made for Render, but he eluded the
pursuit until yesterday afternoon, when
Policeman Gregory arrested him at "the
woman's" house, near the distillery, on
the Point. He was committed to Jail,
and will be arraigned before Judge
Craig to day. The case may present

Canadian affairs, just now, are extremely
quiet. There is no very exciting topic under
discussion. The newspapers occupy them
selves with pickering over the Inter-coIonal
Rallway;-which it becomes daily more an,

next; with suggesting remedies tor "the sill

and orders of ofprecedence.


NOVA SCOTIA.


The Nova Scotia RepeqIers have been
rather quiet OF late. Mr.. Howe their chief
leader hitherto. has been making s,eecbes
which the Unionists interpret into a virtual
remuneration OF bis repeal views and an ac.
ceptance of the situation. Whether he real
ly does so or not, ii is certain that he roars
much more gently than he did a tew months
ago Possibly he may be able to convince
the Nova Seot.ans that all Their supI osed
wrongs are really imaginary but it looks as il
they we're disposed to resent his detection
somewhat bitterly.


An amusing feature of this Nova Scotia
business is the earnestness with which the
Union press insist on the statement that the
dlscontent is the result OF intrigues at Wash
ington. American gold" is supposed to be
the inspiration of the Repeal papers and
speeches. The almost universal Indifference
felt on this side the Inc to the VIII lie ques-
ton and the manner OF its settlement is sore-
thing which the Canadians do not believe in
for the simple reason that they cannot COM
prehend it. But it is fac. neyerlhe heless.
The general idea in this country witn regard
to Canada is that the several provinces must
eventually gravitate nto union with the
United States; but, as for any one on this
side being anxious to hasten such a union,
much less to take any trouble or spend any
money to forw 'rd it, the idea is absurd. We
don't want Canada or even Nova Scotia. till
the want to come. They are sure TO do that

. Part fifth brought the monstrous
wild cat 'Davy Crockett in the ring.
This is, perhaps, the largest wild cat ever
captured in America. A number of fe-
rccious bull terriers were on hand to en-.
ter into the contest. The first was good
sized brindle bull dog, who seemed some.
what dubious about making an attack.


He was finally showed into the ring.
and at once made for the cat but she
caught him at once and topped him on
his back, sending her claws into his skin
and lacerating him terribly. The dog
showed fight, but yelped piteously, until
he succeeded in getting loose, when he
cleared the ring with bound that fairly
carried him over the heads Of the epthn.
siastic spectators. The cat being tied By
a chain, which barely admitted Of her
reaching the edges Of the ring, could on
y follow the dog that far. But the aud.
ience took good care to stond back when
the dog retreatcd. The brindlc dog was
thrown in the ring four or five times, but
after brief struggle leaped out, howIiDg
each time.


The next dog turned in was the game
Captain but he evidently mistook his
game, for he also set up howl when the
cat rivcted her claws in bis flesh. They
struggled for some time until Cap. got
loose, but he showed no signs Of leaving
the ring. After barking at her several
minutes, he vas pushed on the cat. when
she again tumbled him, aud they fought
desperately, the dog yolping in his terri

would not leave the ring. In barking
round the cat he got within her reach.

the dog got leg hold and threw her,
after which he faster ed his teeth in her
throat, and, no doubt, would have killed
her if he had not been taken of. The cat,
however, proved game, and never squeaIed
once during the combats.


Part sixth concluded the exhibition
and it was the most exciting of all. The
wild cat Satan" aud the imported bull
slut Jimmy were pittcd. The fight was
terrific, both the dog and cat being the
same wcight-twcnty-two pounds. They
threw each other in rapid succession with
great force. The ferocious slut got her
hold on the jaw of the cat aud hung fast
for long time, but the cat managed
with her claws to break loose, when an
other up and down struggle followed both

How Poor MEN Pay TAxEs,-
Sometimes we hear men say: Well,
if taxes are high they can't tax me
much l havn't any propcrty!" Can't
they tax you much? Well let US see.


But, in the first place, you have prop
erty. You are the owner of poor body,
which you are striving to watch and
warm and keep soul in. Perhaps you
have wife, and more than likely fam
lily of children. They all have to be
fed and clothed and warmed. You may
not own houses, or stocks, or bonds, but
you have property, nevertheless, and of a
kind which is taxed ten times over more
than any other description. The tax
may not be direct one, but it is heavy
one, and one which you find it hard to
bear. You may be paying it, even with
out knowing that you pay tax, attribut-
ing it all the while to something else;
but that doesn't change anything. 1t il
q tax all the same, and you are obliged
to pay it. IF you ask, then, how are you
taxed, we answer, on everything you eat
and drink and wear Almost on every
breath you draw! You are taxed SC
many ways that we cannot enumerate
them. Peoria (W.) Democrat. i

CONGRESS SHOWN UP By REPUB-
LIcAS.-That prominent Republican
journal, the New York Commercial, IN
reference to the Rump Congress proceed
ings against Judge Field, of the Supreme
Court thinks that nothing will come out
Of all this, but that the resolution is .
fair illustration Of the partisan action of
Congress, and the terroaism they seek to
inspire in all over whom they have the
control. An editor says:


"If general ofends them, they legis-
late him out of his commission. If the
Supreme Court is supposed to hold the
same opinion of certain laws of Congress
that Thad. Stevens does, namely, that
they are outside the Constitution, the
Supreme Court is to be shorn Of its pow
er. If a judge gives expression to his
private opinions he is to be impeached,
it is all intolerance, bigotry and despotizm.
The acts of congress cannot bear the
light, and Congress is determined that
they shall be accepted in the dark, and

patriotic purpose of their farmers, who
care more for an election than they do
for country. The radicals are getting Q

suit is sure to follow" z

following weighty response


HoRACE GREELEY-SIR l hereby ac>
knowledge the receipt of your polite note of
the 8th ultimo. Though not surprised at
the courteous tone and philosophical air of
your brief cpistle, confess to qualification
in observing that you have added to your
varied accomplishments the brilliancy of wit
as an Establishment of your labored essays,
and that you adorn your private correspond
ence with those jewels of literature, which
have hitherto been confined to the bar,room
and ball alley, which, however, you have
very properly redeemed from their vulgar
use as most singularly becoming the style,
compass and subject matter Of your teaching,
and so happily adapted to the tastes, associ>
atiOns and wants of your political pupils and
associates.


l accept, with due appreciation, the rea-
sons which you assign for your silence upon
the~great questions Of political economy in
volved in the unfortunate condition of the
country, and rather attribute to your mod
esty what you claim for your sense Of justice.


You will pardon me for the assurance
that however much l may be startled by the
use of such comprehensive terms as whole
sale swindling' and National villainy;' yet
this style of language has been so long in
vogue among gentlemen of very moderate
attainments, that it utterly fails to produce
conviction when offered as a substitute for
logic, and scarcely succeeds in captivating
when employed as rhetorical flourish to or.
nament unhappy conceptions of ruinous dog
mas.

nunciations of Wholesale swindling' and ma

CURIOUS APPEARANCE OF THE EARTH
Clayton once made successful ascension in
balloon from Columbus. Among the re-
marks in his journal of the erial trip we were
struck by the following:


From the questions am frequently asked,
an idea seems to exist with many that aero
nouts lose sight of the earth when at great
nights. This is mistake they never do,
except when clouds intervene or night ap.
pears. On the contrary, the earth is always
like an immense concave map, painted differ
ent colors, which designate not the different
townships or counties, as the coloring Of
maps generally do, but the various products
of the soil. That the earth. which in reality
is convex, should appear to the eronaut to be
concave, may at first seem strange to many,
but a moments reflection will render it clear
Ills horizon is frequently upwards of hun
dred miles from him. Draw right angle
triangle, and make the base fifty or sixty
times as long as the perpendicular, the hy-
potheneuse and base will then be nearly in
the same line. The horizon appears to the
aronaut to be on a perfect level with the car
of the balloon but the part of the earth d.
rectly underneath him seems at great dis
from him; consequently the whole surface of
bis scene must appear concave.

ENCHANTED MoUNTAINs.-Th following
account of natural curiosity is from the
Texas Telegraph:


This singular mountain or hill is situated
on the head waters of the Salley-a small
tributary of the Colorado, about eighty miles
from Bastrop, in a Norhwesterly direction.
1t is about three huudred feet high, and ap-
pears to be an enormous oval rock partly i'm
bedded in the earth. When the sun shines,
the light is reflected from its polished sur
face, as from an immense mirror, and the
whole mountain glows with such dazzling ra
dance, that the beholder who views it even
from the distance of four or five miles. is
unable to gaze upon it without experiencing
a painful sensation, similar to that which is
felt when looking upon the rising sun. The
ascent of this hill is so gradual that persons
can easily walk to the top; but the rock is
50 smooth and slippery that those who make
the attempt are compelled to wear moccasins
or stockings instead of shoes This fact. to-
getber with the name of the place, Holy
Mountain, reminds the visitor very forciblv
of the commend made to Moses on Mount
Horeb, Put off thy shoes from off thy feet.
The Camanches regard this hill with religious
veneration. and Indian pilgims frequently
assemble from the remotest borders of this
tribe to perform their Paynim rites upon its

The only witnesses were Messrs. Brown,
Cavanaagh and a son of the former. These
gentlemen. attracted by the lowing of cattle
and the ringing of COW bell, went up on
a little hill to see what was the matter. They
observed about one hundred yards from them

few yards in advance of the cows. "a fine young
bull paving the ground, looking in the same
direction. Looking toward the bushes at
which the bull was gazing they saw Mr.. Bear
come out and advance toward the bull
When within a few feet he made spring
and alighted on the neck and shoulders of the
bull, and fastened his fangs in his shoulder
and commenced tearing away the flesh. By
a sudden effort the bull dislodged him from
his neck, and by another effort broke loose
altogether, when he plunged at the bear re-
peatedly, goringhim severely. until the: bear.
bowling with rage and pain, beat rapid re-
treat from the field. He was followed a
short distanceby the bull, but succeeded in
getting to cover. The bull was frightfully
torn about the shoulder and lamed in the
first onset, Notwithstanding which he made q
gallant fight and came off victorious. Nei-
ther of the gentlemen had any weapons and
they were, unable to ascertain how badly the
bear was hurt, but think from his cries that
he was the worst whipped bear they ever
saw.

Henry Boiling was before the Mayor yes
terday morning with his wife and weeping
children. These latter had mournful tale
to tell. Bolting, it seems, has been getting
on some terrible sprees of late, and has
been maltreating various members Of his
family, and threatening to kill his wife
and children, poison himself, and burn
the house down. The other evening he
seemed to be about to put the threat into
execution. Hearing great noise, the
neighbors broke into the house, and found
the children gathered around their mother,
whose apparently lifeless form lay on the
floor, felled by her drunken husband. He,
in state Of beastly intoxication, was also
stretched upon the floor in corner. One
of the children had been dispatched by
Bolting for some rat poison" which it is
supposed he intended to give them. The
woman was soon restored to life, and her
husband arrested and carried to the police
