From the Springfald Republican, Feb. al


There is a man in one OF the railroad
shops in this city, who has no special
authority, save over one helper, but he
manages to maltreat good many others
in the course Of the year. His milder
malice is expressed by Swinging oil upon
the unlucky wight who offends him; bis
heavier wrath is wresked with weightier
weapons. One young man not lon 2
since was, for some obnoxious word or
act, struck with a bar of hot iron upon
his left arm, burning through his clothes
and leaving painful wound on his fesh.
At another time this gentle blacksmith
was hit BY an impertinent SNOWFALL, and
straightway he hurled at a young man,
whom he enormously supposed guilty OF
the attack, 8 bit Of iron, the end Of q car
axle, weighing, perhaps, eight pounds,
which struck the unfortunate fellow in
the small of the back, hurting him
seriously and disabling him for some
time afterwards The latest unhappy
helper Of the hero Of our tale has been
treated 10 blows in the side from ham
mers and the like playful sdmonitions Of
servitude, and has pleaded with the ever
seer IN vain to be removed elsewhere.

EARLY RISING "A young farmer
fonnd he was getting reduced in
circumstances. He went to a friend
to ask advice. This friend, with a
grave face, said, Il know of "a charm
that will cure that; take this little
cup, and drink from it every morn
ing of the water you must get at
such a spring. But remember you
must draw it yourself. at five o clock
or the charm will be broken


The next morning the farmer
walked across his fields, for the
spling was at the farther end OF his
estate, and spying a neighbors cows
which had broken through the fence,
and were feeding on his pasture, he
turned them out and mended the
fence. The laborers were not yet
at work when they came lettering
along after their proper time, they
were startled at seeing their master
so early.


oh !' said he, I see how it is; il
comes of my getting up1n time


This early rising soon became a
pleasant habit; his walk and cup OF
water gave him appetite for break
fsst; and the people were, like him,
early at work He soon acknowl-
edged that the advice his friend had
given was as good as it was simple.

MOTHERS KISSES.
A kiss when wake in the morning,
A kiss when go to bed,
A kiss when 1 burn my fingers,
A kiss when bump my head.
A kiss when my bath is over,
a kiss " hen my bath begins;
My mamma is full of kisses,


AS full as nure is of pins.
A kiss when play with my rattle,
A kiss when pull her hair.
She covered me over with kisses
The day fell from the stair.
A kiss when give her trouble,
A kiss when 1 give herjo
There is nothing like mammals kisses
To her own little baby boy.

that the sun is surrounded by gas

The Academy Of Sciences of Paris
has received the following particulars
Of an accident caused by lightning at
the camp of Chalons: Capt. LacrOix,
the officer who was killed on the Occa-
sion alluded to, inhabited q tent striped
blue and white. The rain was falling
in torrents at the moment the electric
fluid struck; although the Captains
death was only discovered the morn
ing after, there could be no mistake as
to the time or cause of death, the viO-
lence of the shock having been more
or less felt by the whole battalion.
The victim was alone in his tent; when
his orderly entered in the morning he
found his master lying on the ground,
face upward, cOnVulsNely holding a
metal candlestick in his right hand
and pressed against his breast. The
ground bore marks of the Captains
having pirOuetted or spun round be-
fore falling, while attempting to move
toward the entrance. He wore his
uniform trousers, plain paletOt, and
his treble-laced kept. From the pole
of the tent there hung fOwling piece
in case and a saber; the pole was
rather distant from the bed, and none
of these metal arms seemed to have
been touched by the fluid. The tent
was closed, and the opening buekled
both outside and inside. The two iron
bolts by which the pole was fixed To
the ridge-piece that supported the can
vas roof had a piece of leather under
them. One Of these pieces was lacer-
ated, and from this point long line,
about half an inch in breadth, might
be traced along the blue stripes, the
color of which was completely de-
stroyed. This line descended in a
slight zigzag, to point where it met
one OF the seams, which it followed
for the space OF about a foot and half,
and then suddenly started Off to one
of the buckles, where it made hole.
Two other perforatiOns were found,
one answering to the leather thong
fitting into the buckle, and the other
to the fellow of the former inside the
tent. The outer buckle was found out
side at distance of twenty PAGES.
Three burns on the Captains forehead,
seem TO answer to these three holes.
His kept was burnt of, the gold lace
undone; his watch had stopped at
fifty-three minutes past seven, and a
beginning of fusion was marked on it.
The purse had not been touched; the
paletot, shirt and upper part of the
trousers were burnt along 2 line
marked on the body, and ON which a
wound was found, having the shape
and size Of the buckle found twenty
PAGES of.

Oh, there is a dreadful volume Of
heart-histOries that lie hidden in
almost every family in the landl IL
tells us of trust betrayed, of purity viO-
lated under sanction of law, of every
holy feeling outraged, and purest love
turned to fear and Ioathing. If the
moral feeling in the heart of woman
was not stronger than death itself, the
crimes we now chronicle against
them would be virtuOus compared
with the edepths of wickedaess and sin
into which they would be driven. But
God is stronger than man, and He
holds us true to our higher natures,
martyrs though we be. If, on the
other hand, women We're not 50 weak
and disgracefully submissive, they
would rise to the dignity of woman
hood, and throwing Off the degrading
touch, would say, g. am free. And
to God alone viii l unquestioningly
yield myself"

bition.


The scaffold being cleared, tie Sheriff
informed the condemned that his hour
had arrived, but from the continued ex-
element of the hour previous he was un-
able to rise to his feet without an effort.
The cap was then placed over his head,
but he asked that it be removed for an
instant to gain another glimpse of the
light Of heaven. This was done, and it
was again replaced, forever darkening
the earthly vision of Gus Holmes. The
rope was then adjusted, and when the
knot was placed the condemned fairly
gave way at the knees, and would have
sunk upon the drop, but he was caught.
At this juncture the Sheriff, who was
much excited, as might be expected un-
der the circumstances, said, Hold on,
Gus, you won't be hurt" A negro had
to be called to the platform to support
the sinking man, and as he had to stand
clear of the drop, Holmes became in a
position leaning against him, entirely
helpless, his feet being toward the front
of the drop. The consequence of this
was that when the drop fell the con-
demned slid off, the knot having worked
round the back of his neck, strsngulation
was the result. The neck was not broken.
There was violent convulsive move
ment of the lower limbs, lasting for
nearly three minutes. Breathing ceased
in seven minutes and half, pulsation in
twelve minutes, and in twenty minutes
life was declared extinct by the attending
physician.

From the Galveston News of the 3d.


We learn from gentleman who resides
few miles from the town of Montgomery,
in this State, that a bloody tragedy oc-
Cured in that place last week. Four
men were killed, and the town for while
presented the appearance of a battlefield
on small scale.


The circumstances, as near as we can
gather them from hasty conversation,
are about as follows:


A desperate, whose name we did not
learn, recently appeared in Montgomery,
and in a short time made himself odious
to the citizens by his qusrrelsome dspo-
sition. He gathered around him, how
ever, several friends, who, it proved, lost
their lives in endeavoring to stand by
him in his difficulties.


This desperado was also suspected Of
passing counterfeit money, and of having
been horse-thief


On the day of the tragedy he rode his
horse into the store of Messrs. Smith &
Peal, and on being ordered out be drew
his pistol, but before he could fire it he
was fred upon by Smith or Peal with
double-barrel shot gun. Although badly
wounded he ran out into the street, and
by some fatality met party of citizens
who were hunting him for the purpose of
arresting him for passing counterfeit
money. He ran in another direction,
when some one in the party fired upon
him and he fell. A Mr. Oliver and two
brothers named McGrew (who it seems
were in the habit of associating with the
desperado) ran up to his rescue with
pistols drawn, when they were fred upon
BY the crowd and all three killed.


Politics had nothing whatever TO do
with the bloody affair.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. 2.-In
recent press dispatches from this city.
it was stated on authority of the
Cozuaa5ian Guide that Circuit Judge
Pelham had decided that the a la
bama Legislature was not a legal
body. and that William H. Smith is
not a legal Governor. A dispatch
correctly represented the statement
referred to, but the facts in the case
are these: A vacancy in the Office of
Probate Judge Of Shelby County was
reported by the Governor. who was
required by the Constitution to issue
a commission to fill the vacancy; af-


terwards the question arose as to
i whether there really was a vacancy.
in determining this question, Judge


Pelham decided that if vacancy had
not occurred in the manner prescribed
by law, the Governors commission
designating another man for the Office
was null aud void. The decision in
no way relates to the validity of either
the Legislature or Governors Office.

FORGOTTEN. :" Generation after genera
ton, says an eloquent modern writer, have
felt as we feel, and their fellows were as active
in life as ours are now. They passed away as
a vapor, while nature wore the same aspect of
beauty as when her Creator commanded her to
be. And so likewise shall it be when we are
gone. The heavens will be as bright over our
graves as they are now around our path the
world will have the same funeral wind on its
way, and the attraction for offspring that she
has now for our children. A little while and
all this will have happened The throbbing
heart will be stilled, and We shall be at rest
Our prayers will be said, and the grave clods
will be thrown in, and our friends will all re-
turn, and we shall be left behind to darkness
and to worms And it may be for some short
time we shall be spoken of, but the things Of
life will creep in, and our names will soon be
forgotten. Days will continue to move on, and
laugter will be heard in the very chamber in
which we died and the eyes will glisten agair
with joy and even our children will cease tC
think Of us, and will not remember to lisp oul
| name. "

A Boston paper contains the following =
" Last evening a married man, named Wad-
leigh, took two young females into saloon on
Court street, and treated them to oysters, &c
After finishing her repast, one of the girls said
she guessed she wouldn't stop any longer, and
bidding him good night she left him and the
other girl in conversation together When
Wadleigh came to pay the bill he missed his
wallet, and had the girl last with him arrested
and locked up for stealing it, as she sat on the
side from which he claimed that his wallet was
stolen, and his supposition was that she had
passed it slyly to the girl who first left. Wad
leigh made his way home and told his wife of
his treating two girls to oysters, and that one
of them had stolen his wallet, containing $55,
and he had got her locked up in the police
station. After patiently hearing his story, Mrs.
Wadleigh very pleasantly informed her erring
spouse that the girl he had caused to be locked
up had not stolen his wallet that she had fol-
lowed him and saw him pick up the girls on
Hanover street, and as they were entering the
saloon she stepped up close behind him and
abstracted the missing wallet from his pants
pocket. She then handed him his wallet, and
directed him to go to the station and have the
innocent girl discharged, which he did withou
delay"

TINE FOR MATRIMoNY. Among the ancient
Germans, than whom finer race never exist
ted, it was death for any woman to marry be-
fore she was twenty years old. BY the laws OF
Lycurgus, the most special attention was paid
to the physical education, and no delicate, or
sickly woman were on any account, allowed to
marry DIR. johnson in his work of Econe::
my Of Health, says that matrimony should
not be contracted until the first year of the
fourth septennial on the part Of the lady, nor
before the last year of the same in the case Of
the gentlemen. In other words, the female
should be at least twenty years OF age and
the male twenty eight years. The Doctor says
there should be a difference of seven years be-
tween the sexes, at whatever period OF life the
connection is contracted. There is difference
of seven years, not in the actual duration OF
life in the two sexes, but in the stamina OF the
constitution, the symetry Of the form and lin
eaments of the face. In respect to early mar
riage, so far as it concerns the softer sex, tor
every year that marriage is entered upon before
the age of twenty-one, there will be, on an
average. three years of premature decay, more
or less apparent, of the corporal fabric.

WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS. The New York
Commercial Advertiser has coupled these two
important events in life in an editorial upon
the folly of the extravagant displays on such
occasions The expenses of a shOwy wedding
too frequently causes great embarrassment to
young married couples, and the money spent
bv the widow and children eats up the small
pittance left by the husband and causes great
distress. The Catholic Church has wisely, or
dered that the funeral expenses OF its members
should not be extravagant, and the example
should be followed by other denominations

The Hyde Park Miners Determined not TO


WOrk-ResumptiOn of Labor in Several


bIinCs-The Basis.


Special Despatch to The EUenilg Telegraph.


WILKEsBARRE, Pa, June 17.-About seven
hundred miners attended the meeting at Hyde
Park yesterday. The question of resumption
was discussed at great length, and the miners,
by almost a unanimous vote, decided to stay out
until they got the basis rate if it took them ten
years to accomplish it..


At meeting of all the Luzerne county dele
gates, held at Pttstown on Tuesday, it was voted
that all the miners who can get the basis will 90
to work at once, and that those who cannot get
the basis must stay out until they do. A resolu-
ton was adopted, providing that wherever work
is resumed, three men shall be put in each
chamber instead of two, so that the men out on
suspension may have partial work, or enough to
support them for the time being.


Work commesced this morning at the works
of Messrs. Swoyer & Hillman.


At the mines of Messrs. Harvey near Ply
mouth, the men turned out yesterday to go to
work, but they had no sooner entered the mines
than they left again in a body. They were
asked to resume work at the old rate. They
were under the impression that they would be
allowed the basis and upon ascertaining the
mistake, threw down their tools.


The basis in force in and about Wilkesbarre is
S719 cents per car, with coal at $5 at Hoboken.
and 1875 per cent. increase for all labor as coal
advances in price.
