One Of the most effective weapons ol y Con-
nell was his wit, which was always at h's
command. There are hundreds OF stories de-
failing instances of his power in this respect
One Of these is a story where the victim Is
DR.. Russell, the famous correspondent OF TIC
London Times. On one occasion, when o Con-
nell was to address a monster meeting IN Ire
land Russell was sent over By the Times TO
report O'Connells speech, the purpose beng
to get evidence that could be used against him
in case he should utter Ian luage capable OF
being interpreted as sedtious. By OConneIi ;
advice Russell was prov ded with every pos
sible facility for his work. He was assigned
seat near 0 OConnel, where he could hear every
word. O'Connell, before beginning his speech
informed the thousands Of people present that
there was a very able Englishman present.
who came all the way from England to report
his speech. chat il was to be printed IN the
London Times. and that the gentleman was
desirious to get an accurate report SO that ne





could swear to it if necessary. He therefore
appealed to tie Irish present to be quiet ana
orderly TO make no noise, and to do nothing
that could disturb the English gentleman,
or to cause him to lose word OF the
speech to which he was to swear During
these remarks he pointed ont Mr. Russell per-
sopally. who was placed SO conspicuousIy as to
be easily seen by oil. Then, turning to Mr. Rus
sell. he asked if there was anything he need
ed. if he was comfortably seated, If his peus
were in order. and if he were ready to begin.
By this time Russell had become the most in-
teresting aud conspicuous man IN the crowd
Again appealing to the crowd to become quiet
and let the gentleman get such report as he
could swear TO- he Informed Russell that he
was about to begin. Russell dippei bis pen
in ink. and O'Conuell began his oration-'h
Irish The multitude saw the joke, and Rus
sell was painfully impressed with the knowI-
DE that he was laughed at. At intervals
OConuel would appeal in English to the
crowd to be silent, as the English gentleman
did not seem to get along very well, and would
not be able to swear to the accuracy OF the re-
port. Every moment made RusselFs position
more painful, until at last, mortified and hu-
inflated at the exposure Of the real purpose oil
his visit, and at its defeat, he rose from his
seat. left the meeting, and quitted ireland.

From our first meeting with Agent J. r. Cum, we believed and so expressed it in print, that he would prove to be an excel lent officer, and he has demonstrated that he is such an one. He is complete master of hIS reservation and, independent of all official sources, we have abnndant proof that he Is the |" right Enau in the right place." Following are some portions of his monthly report for March. They show what he has accomplished in less than twelve months in the way of buildings, to say nothing of the more important point . of discipline which is probably not excel led on any reservation in the country at large, and just few months before he as- sumed charge, the Indians had left tue reserve in a drunken and murderous row, crippling and killing settlers. But to the report:

 I have the honor to submit the following report of the Indian service at this agency, for the month ending February 2S, 1875. am permitted again to re port my Indians quiet, orderly and obedient. And as yet no complaints have been made against them. still require them to attend the daily count and no Indian is permitted to be absent from the camps more than one day without a pass from the agent They are never permitted to leave the reServa- ton except they go on scouts or as guides to travelling parties. When as guides, I permit one or two to go with instructions not to leave the party under any preteXt All their arRls are in nay possession, and when passess are granted them to hunt, guns are furnished by the agent and the number checked against them on the pass book. By such precautions it is not diff ficult to account for the men and arms at all times. They are willing to labor and perform with diligence every task assign ed them. When circumstances will per init I pay them, but for the greater portion of their labor they receive nothing but their rations and little tobacco. They seem contented and happy, except that they lament their poverty. They have however saved what money they could obtain by labor at the Agency, or by the delivery of wood and hay, and have pur- chased number Of horses of which are very good. <

 Although no appropriation has been made for buildings at this Agency, have nevertheless been able to erect nearly half Of the main Agency buildings-a ground plan Of which is sent your office by this mail. By economy in my dis bugsements have been able to meet all extra expenses incurred in building. I have five rooms 20x20 feet by eleven feet to ceiling. These are very pleasant, con- venient and substantial. The store room, although inadequate, will shelter a large quantity of supplies.

 The blacksmith shop is temporarily in an unfinished room which room when completed will form a part of the main building. 1 am now building a corral; this is intended to enclose 25O0 square yards The walls are two feet thick and built of stone. And here I may remark that 1t is my intention to construct the remainder of the buildings Of stone, having found an excellent quarry of sandstone within one half mile Of the Agency from which ob- tain material for building much superior to adobes and judge less expensive.

 The corral is about half completed to- gether with harness room l5XI5 The corral will enclose the stables, wagon sheds, harness room, tool room, carpenter shop, blacksmith shop, hay corral, etc.

And further, had the accommodations would collect the blind, the crippled and those who have reached an extreme old age and place them under the care of the Agency phy- sician and his attendants. These afflicted Indians being of no use, are much neg iected by their relatives, and oftimes their -5t1fdefings are very great, especially during cold weather.

 The cattle scales will be completed in a few days and then a butcher shop will be needed at once. Quarters should be built for the employees, and the Indians should be assisted in building { h cir houses. Therefore while I shall do the best I can with the funds already sent me, sincerely urge the appropriation of S5OO0 for build ing purposes as per previous requisition.

versation, and travelled from one face to
the other in hopeless agony; not word
passed her ears, and only the one de-
spairing changeless expression sat like a
seal upon her face. She knew there was
no escape for her-none. There was only
the one question to be solved: Was she
to die by the unwilling hand of a plying
stranger, or be killed cruelty by profess
sional murderers What world of ter
ror must have been compassed in those
few moments of her life as she lay watch
ing and waiting there


The clock began to chime the quar-.
ters; it was about to strike. At a
given signal the statue-like figure
stepped forward and rapidly uncoiled a
rope with a moose already made; they
were about to slip it over his head and
hang him to beam which ran along the
center of the ceiling. The horror OF fac
ing a sudden and violent end seized him
his death would avail her nothing for
whom he died. His senses were in a
whirl; he threw up his hands and sprang
forward.


"Pll do itp he exclaimed, and fell on
his knees beside her: "They aoW have
your life; l cannot save you, child
but / can shield you from their rough,
cruel hands, and put you painlessly to
rest. Forgive me, forgive me, for it is in
mercy to you do this cruel deed"


The white hand went out to him and
closed over his in soft, f0rgiving clasp
the agony died out of the sweet eyes as
they rested one moment on his face;
then with a low sigh she closed them and
turned away her head. In another mo-
ment her young life was ebbing slowly
away. He remained by her side, holding
her hand in his till all was over.
He would not for second leave her with
those stern men, lest wounding word
or rough touch might disturb her on her
way from this world to the next. He
was conducted from the place in the
same way as he had entered it, and when
his conductors took leave of him they sug-
gested that it would be well if he would
leave Naples with as little delay as pos
sible. This forced murder-for such it
really was-lay upon his conscience to
the end of his life, and filled it with one
long remorse-a living nightmare-for
that scene was always present to his
mind. The change that had so long
puzzled us puzzled us no more. He could
not carry his secret to the grave with
him, so gave it into our keeping.


"It'sa terrible story" l exclaimed.


"And, unlike most terrible stories, it is
true" he answered. "Come out for
breath of fresh air and sunshine, to blow
this gloomy subject from our senses"
