In preparing timber for the tlrai of Gets AJ0lbb. oak treea 20 Inches Ib diameter at the base and 103 yearn old (counting the "rltijr"). were cut. Gov. Osbor.sk lias purchased a 91-- OOObuildlugon Katinaa avenue, To-pek- a. Maybe lie will engage in tbe restaurant business, when he gets through with Brazil. It Is now as deflnitely settled as It can ever be, that the number of Uvea lost in tbe Kewhall House tire, is 65. Tbe number who made their escape from tbe burning building, In safety, Is 110. Two Iowa J. B. Weaver and E. H. Gillette, bare be- come editors oC the Jjes Moines Tri-bun- e, a very Insignificant paper. Gillette spoke at the New York Store corner oue night during the campaign of '80. It seems that John A. Logan ex erted his Influence to secure tbe elec- tion of Culloni.the caUL-u- nominee for Senator. Logan has never forgotten the bolt which defeated him and elect- ed Davis six years ago, and he doesn't propose to encourage bo dangerous a thing. These is a bill in the House mak- ing it obligatory upon tbe Governor to issue his warrant for the execution of a convicted murderer within a cer-ta- lu time after conviction. The Cap-H- says, the probabilities are that ifit passes the House, it will have no dif- ficulty in getting through the Senate. John Kkllv, the Tammany chief- tain, having seen his enemies capture tbe Governor he nominated and elect- ed, is contemplating the ingratitude of Republics, and has decided to abandon the arena of politics for tl-- e lecture Held. He starts out very noon and calls his discourse "The Early Settlement of the Irish in America." The of Geo. F. Hoar as Senator from Massachusetts, is a vin- dication of the good sense of the parly in tbe old Bay state. In spite of some rather Pecksnifiln speeches by Mr. Hoar, he has generally been found on the right fide of public questions and has always been an alert aud aggress- ive representative of his state. Butler and Long's vigorous opposition came nearly dtft-atiu- him, but the who stood by Sumner, did not desert Hoar. Tub stutcuicut going the rounds of the press that Thos. 11. Cavuuaugh bad resigned his position at the Ober-li- n Laud Office and was going to Washington Territory to accept a jw-siti- on the Northern Pacific Rail- road, is denied by that gentleman. Tom says that Kansas is good enough for him. Exchange. Tom must be trying to keep his name before the public. He has em- phatically stated on several occasions that it was his intention to resign his office and remove "to Washington Territory. Dukino the war, while Sheridau was making his raid through the Shenandoah Valley, an old woman who kept a toll-gat- e on tbe turnpike tried to collect toll from the whole Army, and became very indignant at the Jeers and shouts of the boys. She is so encouraged by the success of other claims that she proposes to have a bill introduced into Congrtes to pay that toll with interest to date. She sincerely believes that Sheridan swindled her out of a small fortune. and threatens to get even with him y-- t. The New York World is very" se- vere on Mr. Anderson's postal tele- graphy bill and says: "Mr.Anderson, of Kansas, has promptly brought for- ward a measure to nullify Mr Pendle- ton's civilservice reform bill. Mr. Pendleton's bill proposes to take some 10,000 persons employed In the civil service out of politics. Mr. Ander- son's bill proposes to make 15,000 or 20,000 operators, linemen and other persons engaged In telegraphy, into politics and under tbe control ot the Postmaster General. If this bill were not in this way highly mischievous, t would still be highly Idiotic." It is now known that among the many passengers of tbe lost steam- ship Gmbria was Miss Dora Hennin-ge- r, known to the lyric stage aa Mile. DoranI, who was returning to her home In Cleveland from nearly a year's course in musical studies in Europe. Mapleson found her at tbe Cincinnatti College of Music, and en- gaged her for his company next season. She made a highly successful debut as prima ddnna in the opera "Fidelia," in Chicago, and after the close f the engagement, went abroad to study with fatuous teachers. Her career promised to be brilliant. Her father is a music teacher and director or The Republican National Com- mittee was instructed by the last Na- tional Convention to adopt a rule giving each Congressional District a right to elect and control its own del- egates. This was Intended to break up the rule of the bosses in several of the State conventions, and then by means of the unit rule to control their whole delegation. The National Committee lust closed ltseWetioH. Altera long diacaasioa of numerous plans suggested to give Republican voters equal and Just rep resentation, they adopted the old plan somewhat modlled, as follows : Tbe Republican National Conven- tion of 1864 shall consist of foar del- egates at large from each state and two delegates from each congressional district. Delegates at large shall be chosen by popular delegates, state convenUons called on not leas than twenty days' published notice and beld sot leas than thirty nor more thai sixty days before the time for the meeting of tbe National Conven- tion. Republicans of the various coeagTCsetonal districts shall have the OBtiea of electing their delegates at separate popular delegate conven- tions called oa adrailar notice and' held Ib tbe district at any time prior to tbe meeting of the State coavea tloaa, or by sub-divisi- on of tbe State eaaTeaUoaa into district conventions, and each delegates shall be chosen la Use latter methods if not elected pre-vie- es to tbe Meeting of the Stale ooa-Blssa- a, all district delegate to be aaawsWaaby tbe ooleafs of mm. dis trict seaTsaUeaa. Two shall be allowed from each territory and from tbe District of Columbia sim- ilarly chosen. Notice of contests may be given to tbe National Committee, accompanied by a full printed state- ment of tbe grounds of contest, which shall also be made public, and pref- erence in order of hearing and deter- mining contests shall be given by the convention according to the dates of reception of such notices and state-mea- ts by the National Committee. Other plans which were rejected provided for additional representation of Republican states. The represen- tation of the bosses who had controll- ed or who expect to control delega tions from southern Democratic states were too strong on the com- mittee. But the rule adopted given a death blow to the unit rule. Ex- cept as to delegctes at large each dis- trict will act independently. The rickety, man-tra- p platform on tbe southVide of the New York store has been removed. Father Kelley, priest of the Catho-li- e church of Ellsworth, was visiting Father Mnurer last Thursday.

We hope Ed. may be pro- moted "way up." He Is a good, relia- ble young man. . Just as Judge Hauback bad blown his cheeks full of wind and was on the oliit of delivering that scholarly, classical lecture of "What Cheer" before the stiideuts of the State Uni- versity, the gas lights. By George went rlean out, and there wasn't much cheer for the balance of the evening. The following items are from the Solomon Sentinel : Mother Josephine, of Leavenworth, passed through Solomon tills week un Iter way to Salinn to visit Sister Jus-Un- a, who is sick with hemorrhage of the lungs, and is not expected to re cover. Father Leary has received his hand- some new carriage, the gift of his par- ishioners. It was ordered through J.

The attendance was larger than was expected. There wus considerable disappointment because Mr. Garver failed to deliver the prom- ised address. He was unavoidably detained at McPherson on court busi- ness. Some three tableaux were pre- sented. There was a quartette, con- sisting of Mr. and Mrs. Lovitt and Miss Blodgett and Mr. Hiller, and a duet consisting uf Mr. Hiller and Miss Blodgett, who furnished some very line music. A supper at the Metro- politan came In its order, followed by dancing, which was continued late. Diss.

"Can you see him?" were tbe questions asked by the eager, surging mob that filled, the aisles, crowded tbe seats, and struggled for a foothold on tbe wide window sills of the Tenple of Justice, on the evening of tbe auspicious day, set apart for the trial of the Right Hon. Frank James. Interested as tbe gulleles citizen of this metropolis bad been in tbe Cren- shaw shooting affair, its importance dwindled Into insignificance compared with the great event to follow. What nattered it to them if Crenshaw, standing oa tbe threshold of his castle, did kill aa oSlcer, were there not plenty of men la Ireland, yet, ready to oobm over and All the vacancy. It was James, tbe terror of tbe past, tbe Aero of tbe present, tbe retpeclaltU eUisen of tbe future they bad come there to see ; to be sare they gave a ebeer when tbe venerable Jadge White dlsamlsssd tbe Creaihaw Jary after their verdict of "Not guilty." Money talks nowadays, and the vil- lain of the day prides himself upon the protection he will receive by Jus- tice from justice, in the flourishing Stale of Missouri. At length the fa- mous outlaw was brought Into court, and every eye was riveted upon tbe rather tall, spare form of him whose "hate stopped not on this side of tbe grave." He seated himself easily and gracefully lu an arm chair, by the side or his counsel, aud It wat then that we rose uron our tiptoes and obtained a good face view of the. man. It was not a bad face, the lines showed reso lution, the nose was long and sharp, the forehead high and bald, sloping back, the ears stood out at an angle of about thirty-Ov- a degrees, cheek bones high, eyes that might flash fire, lips thin and evidently capable of an expression of cruelty. This was the view ef the man we obtained by dint of much tiptoeing nnd manouvering In order to make the most of our inches. (State of Mis- souri, versus Frank James, read the clerk.) Murder In the first degree: Case finally dismissed for want of evi- dence. There were no witnesses, dead men tell no tales: From "the unreplying dead" comes no accusing word. After nearly a quarter of a century spent In deeds of violence, no man can be found brave enough to say be Is a murderer. The friendless dead must go uurevenced. and the ghosts of Pinkerton's detectives are forbidden to unfold a tale "whose lightest word would harrow up tby soul." The second Indictment for robbery was also dismissed for the same cause, and the trial fur the third postponed ball being fixed at $3,500 which was refused. The present thaw will render ice cutting on the Missouri rather danger- ous business. In a fracas on Main street, a few nights ago, a woman was stabbed In the face by a man the knife entered the cheek bone and broke ofT, leaving a painful wound fitly Illustrating Napoleon Bonaparte's terse remark, "Where there's women there'll be blows."

The beginning of a new story by W-- Ilowells, in the Midwinter (Febru- ary) Century, isa literary event, whose importance is Increased by the dis- cussion, in the past four months, of the characters, ethical purpose and literary qualities of "A Modem In- stance." Mr. Howell's audience has been helil up to a high pitch ofcurios-'t- y to see the opening chapters of "A Woman's Reason " His readers will not be disappointed. The scene Is once more Uoiton, but the social at- mosphere and the purpose have un- dergone a complete change. On ly the style remains the same; but here, too, the reader will perceive freshness of attitude and a new vivacity. The fourth partofthe"Led'Horse Claim," by Mary Halloek Foote, heightens the dramatic interest of this fasciuatlng story, which will end in the March number. Each part is embellished by a picture from the author's pencil. Mrs. Burnett's "Through One Admin- istration" Is developing a new Inter- est as It nears the conclusion. The short story of tbe number is a humor- ously fanciful tale, by Frank R. Stock ton entitled "The Spectral Mortgage." Leading public questions receive unusual attention in this number ef the this Century, for which reason It is appropriate v that the frontispiece should bea)ortraitof George William Curtis (ohe of Cole's most successful engravings), an autobiographical sketch of the well-know- n estayist aud publicist .being contributed by H. S. Conant, of "Harper's Weekly." Miss Emma Lazarus discusses "Tbe Jewish Problem" with vigor and resources of fact ; E. V. Smalley, in a graphic art- icle, throws light on several important "Features of the Now North-west,- " and Edward T. Fetters explains the "Evils of our public Laud Policy," to which he ascribes the prostration of agricultural interests In the Atlantic States. A characteristic scene In the White House, life of Lincoln Is de- scribed in the Rev.C.Van Santvoord's recollections of "A Reception by Pres- ident Lincoln." Two of the illustrated articles are notlceble for the number ami excel- lence of the pictures, and appeal di- rectly to a large number of readers who, in one way or another, are Inter- ested In the development of American art. These are Mrs. Van Reusselaer's study of "American Etchers," and Miss Charlotte .Adams' entertaining account of the life of "Artists' Models in New York." Other illustrated articles in the same number are George W. Cable's second historical paper on "The Creoles In tbe Ameri- can Revolution," and Frank A. Cush-ng- 's second chapter of "My Adven- tures in Zuul." Frederick Locker, the author of "London Lyrics," Is the subject ef an illustrated paper by J. Brandcr Mathews, which includes two por traits of the poet. Especially note worthy is the variety and excellence of the poetry In the February Cenlu-ar- y, which is contributed by Edmund CtarenceStedman, Edmund W. Gosse, Richard Henry Stoddard, Joaquin Miller, John Vai.ee Cheney, James Herbert Morse, and Pihllip Bourke Marston ; and in "Bric-a-Brac- " there is a clever parody entitled "The Song of Sir Palamede," .on Swinburne's last poem, by Helen Gray Cone, tbe author of tbe metrical satire on Walt Whitman and Oscar Wilde, in the November Century, called "Narcissus in Camden." In "Topics of the Time," the evil ways of many of the money kings are discussed under tbetitle"Tbieves aad Robbers" tbe sensitiveness of English- men to American criticism; "Law making at Albany ; and toe move ment to have works of art plsesd on tbe free list of tbe customs tariff.

Near the beginning of our late Civil War, Lieutenant Graham was sta- tioned with a few men to guard a gap In the Virginia mountains. The block- ade or the whole South at that time was very rigorous, and supplies of any kind were rarely smuggled through the Union lines. One morning, as the Lieutenant sat smoking in the door of his Unt, one of his outlying pickets presented him-ci- r, red and blown with running. "I've got 'em-- , sir ! It's some of thlin rebel-- i hookiii' It across the Hue. I brought em' to with a round turn '." "Where?" exclaimed the lituten nut, as he jumped to his feet. He was yoang and zealous, and hail not yet had a chancu to prove his teal. "Reb- els breaking through the line- -, eli? Well done, Wright!" "Carrying provisions, sir?" "No doubt! No doubt! Arms and ammunition, too, of course. Where are they? Were they taken prison- ers!" The man looked sheepish. "They're back in tbe wcods, sir. I jest fntehed It along." "It! What on earth" Tbe lieutenant followed Wright, who ran to tbe woods, dashed behind a copse and hauled out a little girl of about ten years of age, carrying u basket. A doukey stood beside her. "There they be. lieutenant! She was foot In' It past the pickets, singing Dixie to herself, as easy as yer please." "Take your hands on the child! I thought you bail captured a dozen men, you braggart! Who are you, ray child?" "I'm Dora Nettley, sir." Dora was a chubby, freckled child, with honest brown eyes, which re- minded tbe lieutenant or his little sis- ter away out In Michigan. Still, im- portant information, maps aud had often been carried by women and children since the war began, and this might be a liearer of information, clild though she was. "Where did you come from, Dora?" "From Martlnsburg, sir." "And what have you in that bas- ket?" Tbe child's foe grew red, she shut her lips tight, and remained silent. "Search It. Wright." "Here's tea. sir. and a little package of sugar, and here's a bottle or quinine pills"' "Where are you going with these things, Dora?" She looked wildly from side to side. her chin quivered, and then she burst Into passionate sobs. "Oh, let roe go, sir. It's my moth er's. She is down on the plantation all alone. The negroes have all fol lowed your army, and mv mother alone and sick. I just thought I'd buy her a little tea aud sugar and the medicine." "How do you know she is sick ?" "Patsey told me. Patsey's the coachman. He followed tbe soldiers up to IfarUnsbarf. He said there was nobody to take care of her." "And you rode from Martlnsburg here on this donkey ?" "Yes. sir." "And meant to pass these lines?" Dora nodded, and her eyes sparkled. This kind-face- d lad was not so terrible a foe, after all. "I was just going down tbs gap road. I have ridden it on Spot a hundred times before." Wright's foce was eagerly turned to the officer. "Ob.let tbe child go.lleu-tenan- t. What barrum kin she do with her bit of U for her sick mltber? I wish I'd been In better business whin I teebed you, sissy." "I wish yon bad," said Dora "How does It bsppen thst your mother is alone?" askea the lieuten- ant. "Where is your father?" Dora's cheeks grew fiery red. She looked at the ground uncertainly. Sh was a quick-witte- d child, and had seen the pity and sympathy In the of- ficer's eyes. If she could bide the fact that her family were actively con- cerned with the Confederates, there was a chance that she would be allow- ed tejpaits. Bat to lie! "Where Is your father, Dora?" he repeated. "In tbe army!" she faltered. "Fighting for tbe Union?" ssid Graham quickly. There was a long pause. "He U with Lee," she said at last. "And your brothers?" "They are with Dick Ash by." The youM easeer turned away Im- patiently. He had hoped to Hud a pretext tor being of service to tbe child. Walk down the Reld a bit kapeyer faaek this way," whis pered Wright "I'll giveber tbe wink to be off. ABd what harram's done?" "No ; I am sorry, Dora, but I can- not let yoa pass through tbe amp. It ie aacaiaet orders." 8m did set asske any noise, but dropped oa tbo stsss aad burled her thee la her haads. "I waat mother," sbs sobbed. "Oh, I waat mother." "Yoa ess, child," exrfeiaed Wright, "ad support or eomfait kin be carried to im Mirny." "Shs'saotaa l"9Si y," cried Dora, aamnss.'. Mam .Was " with use, Dora," said tbo Heuteaaat. HeNfled lteroaMmt key. aad led her to the Bum- - where the wife of General It. bad her quarters. She was a gentle, motherly woman, and he told her tbe story. "I am going to tbe commanding of- ficer to telegraph for a permit for her to pass the lines. You can discover whether she has anytblmr contraband concealed about her. But I would stake my life on the honesty of the child. "You will have a ride of twenty miles in the hot sun. lieutenant." said Mr. It. "Do von know the child?" "No. but I cannot help thlaklag, what if that poor woman, yonder, were my mother, and this little child Alice ?,r Mrs. R. took the girl up to a little chamber, which she told her should be ber own. until the lieutenant re- turned; she kissed her and left ber. She felt Impatient with the dreadful turmoil and sorrows of the war. This poor mother, dy in jr alone perhamsad the child wandering through the country. Why was there no one who could see It all right? In the meantime Dora hail hidden her basket, locked tbe door, aad kneeled down by the side of tbe bed. She was praying with all the strength of her little heart to God to help her. And on the other side of the moun- tain. In a solitary house, her mother lay alone.her hands covering ber pale, worn face, while she, too, spake to the same Friend,wbo had been her Friend In whom she had trusted all her life. Down in the valley galloped the lieutenant a stranger to them both firompted, he thought, by a rasual the child to his sister. Yet was there unt some one who beard their prayers, and made this man tbe agent to answer them? The one who could and would. In His own good time, set all this turmoil and all oth- ers right ? At tbe end of the day. Lieutenant Graham opened the gate of the farm house. Mrs. It. with Dora hurried to meet him. "I know, by your face, you have succeeded." she said. "Yes; the General is the most In- exorable of foes, as far as men are concerned, but he has a wife and chil- dren of his own. Here Isa tierruit and an order for a guard to take the child through the pass." The officer himself rode with the guard Into the gap. "Good-by- e my little prisoner. You will soon be with your mother, and I hope you will Hud that she will not need the medlciuw you are carrying her,"he said as they arted. Dora's eyes were full of tttars. "You have been so good to me," she said, dropping Sis.' reins, and holding out both bauds. "I wish I could do something for you." "Oh, be good to the first Yankee who falls into your hands, you little rebel," be replied laughing. There Is a seiiuel to our little story. Mrs. Nettley, with her daughter, for safety to liar brother's plantation in the eastern part of the State, where they remained during the war. After a skirmish, which took place In the neighborhood. Major Nettley's house lieing capacious, w as taken as a temporary hospital, to which tbe wounded of both ldrs ware carried Dora and her mother were busy among them, doing what good they could to alleviate their sufferings un til the surgeuus hail ilresasnl their wounds. There waoue young nun or about twenty who was wounded in the bg. Ifura, as she rui-t- il his bead to give him a drink of water, met his eyes. They had aslrane. familiar look. "What's your name?" -- he -- anl, she took the cup from his mouth. "Felix Graham." "What regiment ?" "Euaigti Fourth Michigan." Dora lull In Iter mother, Imrly -t- ani-meriug witlt excittmetit "Hr is like the Heuteii.nt at the gap. mamma. And tin" nine iMiiie! And I promi-o- d !" Mrs Nettley in her turn grew in- terested nnd excited. She went to when the time came for sending the Union otllrers away. "There Is a young man among them, she said, "wlifs wound will probably prove fatal If hi is moved. I owe a debt of gratitude, as I e In one of his Ctuitly -- or &l leant to niir of his name. If you u ill leave him. I will nurse him as faithfully ami well aa I can " Mrs. Nettley was a woman wbose requests were usually granted. Felix Graham remained iu the lmue for two months. Feur years after the war was over, our old friend. Colonel Graham, (formerly lieutenant, rami home to Michigan from San Francisco, where he hail vfigaged In vt since his dicharge from the army It was his first home-comin- and there was great rejoicing, and a gath- ering of all the Graham clan, big aud little. "But where is my new sister?" he said to Alice. "I wish I could have got back in time for tbo wedding. To think Felix went to Virginia for a wife, after all." "Here they come," said Alice, as step were heard on tin -- mrch with- out, and the hoys rushed out to inert Felix and the bride, with "lie's come! he's come?" The door opened and Felix, bearded aud sun-burne- d, came In ; a shy chubby girl followed him. Her eyes were brown, nnd oddly honest and frank. Colonel Graham, his band out. stopped perplexed. "WhoDorar' he said. "Dora?" "Yes, Dora, she answered. "I kept my promise,'' laughing mischievous- ly. ' You told me to tie good to the first Yankee who fell into my hands. Here he Is ; I thought tin- - best thin?

THE BfcAVEA. Forest a iv I stream. I am well acquainted with the hair-i- ts of the Northern beaver. Several years ago I bought up -- everal hundred acres of mining lands near the south shore of Lake Superior, In Ontonagon county, Michigan. On Carp river, a small stream that crosed a part of my lauds, the beavers had built several dams, ami formed extensive ponda. in which they built their hnues or lodges as the Indians call them. Thesae lodges are built in waterseverai feet in depth, and the entrance' l feet under water, but tin Moor of the lodge Is built atleasttwo feet alsirt high-wat- er mark. The floor is built mild from the bottom of the pond except the en- trance. Although the beaver is warmly clad with long, fine fur, he Is vrry sensi- tive to the cold, and rarely, "if ever, leaves the (Kind or lodg? during tbe cold weather. He lays in his winter supply of fool, which mainly consists of tbe bark of a certain snciernf pop lar, tie cuts down smalt trees-- , and cuts them into short pieces) of one foot or a little over in length, and takes them into the pond. These pieces of wood are dragged up Into the lodge as often as fond is nee-de- ami the bark is gnawed on", aad after being denuded or the bark they are by no aieaos thrown away as useless, but are taken nnder tbe ice. aad carefully placed In tbe dam, to strengthen It. They built one dam a little below the foot of Carp lake, wbi-f- a raised the lake thirty inches. The lake is a small one about one mile long and a fourth of a mile wide. I nirsaortsj the stump ef a maple tree that they bad cut down and it measured four- teen laches in diameter. There were no lews than eleven damson the stream, all ia sight of our buildings, where we -- were mialaf for copper.

SALINA, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1883.

In preparing timber for the tlrai ofGets AJ0lbb. oak treea 20 Inches Ibdiameter at the base and 103 yearn old(counting the "rltijr"). were cut.

Gov. Osbor.sk lias purchased a 91--

Maybe lie will engage in tberestaurant business, when he getsthrough with Brazil.

It Is now as deflnitely settled as Itcan ever be, that the number of Uvealost in tbe Kewhall House tire, is 65.Tbe number who made their escapefrom tbe burning building, In safety,Is 110.

Two Iowa J. B.Weaver and E. H. Gillette, bare be-

come editors oC the Jjes Moines Tri-bun- e,

a very Insignificant paper.Gillette spoke at the New York Storecorner oue night during the campaignof '80.

It seems that John A. Logan exerted his Influence to secure tbe elec-tion of Culloni.the caUL-u- nominee forSenator. Logan has never forgottenthe bolt which defeated him and elect-ed Davis six years ago, and he doesn'tpropose to encourage bo dangerous athing.

These is a bill in the House mak-ing it obligatory upon tbe Governorto issue his warrant for the executionof a convicted murderer within a cer-ta- lu

time after conviction. The Cap-H-

says, the probabilities are that ifitpasses the House, it will have no dif-ficulty in getting through the Senate.

John Kkllv, the Tammany chief-tain, having seen his enemies capturetbe Governor he nominated and elect-

ed, is contemplating the ingratitudeof Republics, and has decided toabandon the arena of politics for tl-- e

lecture Held. He starts out very noonand calls his discourse "The EarlySettlement of the Irish in America."

The of Geo. F. Hoar asSenator from Massachusetts, is a vin-

dication of the good sense of the parlyin tbe old Bay state. In spite of somerather Pecksnifiln speeches by Mr.Hoar, he has generally been found onthe right fide of public questions andhas always been an alert aud aggress-ive representative of his state. Butlerand Long's vigorous opposition camenearly dtft-atiu- him, but the

who stood by Sumner, did notdesert Hoar.

Tub stutcuicut going the rounds ofthe press that Thos. 11. Cavuuaughbad resigned his position at the Ober-li- n

Laud Office and was going toWashington Territory to accept a jw-siti-

on the Northern Pacific Rail-road, is denied by that gentleman.Tom says that Kansas is good enoughfor him. Exchange.

Tom must be trying to keep hisname before the public. He has em-phatically stated on several occasionsthat it was his intention to resign hisoffice and remove "to WashingtonTerritory.

Dukino the war, while Sheridauwas making his raid through theShenandoah Valley, an old womanwho kept a toll-gat- e on tbe turnpiketried to collect toll from the wholeArmy, and became very indignant atthe Jeers and shouts of the boys. Sheis so encouraged by the success ofother claims that she proposes tohave a bill introduced into Congrtesto pay that toll with interest to date.She sincerely believes that Sheridanswindled her out of a small fortune.and threatens to get even with himy-- t.

The New York World is very" se-

vere on Mr. Anderson's postal tele-graphy bill and says: "Mr.Anderson,of Kansas, has promptly brought for-ward a measure to nullify Mr Pendle-ton's civilservice reform bill. Mr.Pendleton's bill proposes to take some10,000 persons employed In the civilservice out of politics. Mr. Ander-son's bill proposes to make 15,000 or20,000 operators, linemen and otherpersons engaged In telegraphy, intopolitics and under tbe control ot thePostmaster General. If this bill werenot in this way highly mischievous,t would still be highly Idiotic."

It is now known that among themany passengers of tbe lost steam-ship Gmbria was Miss Dora Hennin-ge- r,

known to the lyric stage aa Mile.DoranI, who was returning to herhome In Cleveland from nearly ayear's course in musical studies inEurope. Mapleson found her at tbeCincinnatti College of Music, and en-

gaged her for his company next season.She made a highly successful debut asprima ddnna in the opera "Fidelia,"in Chicago, and after the close f theengagement, went abroad to studywith fatuous teachers. Her careerpromised to be brilliant. Her fatheris a music teacher and director or

The Republican National Com-mittee was instructed by the last Na-tional Convention to adopt a rulegiving each Congressional District aright to elect and control its own del-egates. This was Intended to breakup the rule of the bosses in several ofthe State conventions, and then bymeans of the unit rule to controltheir whole delegation.

The National Committee lust closedltseWetioH. Altera long diacaasioa ofnumerous plans suggested to giveRepublican voters equal and Just representation, they adopted the old plansomewhat modlled, as follows :

Tbe Republican National Conven-tion of 1864 shall consist of foar del-egates at large from each state and twodelegates from each congressionaldistrict. Delegates at large shall bechosen by popular delegates, stateconvenUons called on not leas thantwenty days' published notice andbeld sot leas than thirty nor morethai sixty days before the time forthe meeting of tbe National Conven-tion. Republicans of the variouscoeagTCsetonal districts shall have theOBtiea of electing their delegates atseparate popular delegate conven-tions called oa adrailar notice and'held Ib tbe district at any time priorto tbe meeting of the State coaveatloaa, or by sub-divisi- on of tbe StateeaaTeaUoaa into district conventions,and each delegates shall be chosen laUse latter methods if not elected pre-vie-es

to tbe Meeting of the Stale ooa-Blssa- a,

all district delegate to beaaawsWaaby tbe ooleafs of mm. district seaTsaUeaa. Two

shall be allowed from each territoryand from tbe District of Columbia sim-ilarly chosen. Notice of contests maybe given to tbe National Committee,accompanied by a full printed state-ment of tbe grounds of contest, whichshall also be made public, and pref-erence in order of hearing and deter-mining contests shall be given by theconvention according to the dates ofreception of such notices and state-mea- ts

by the National Committee.Other plans which were rejected

provided for additional representationof Republican states. The represen-tation of the bosses who had controll-ed or who expect to control delegations from southern Democraticstates were too strong on the com-

mittee. But the rule adopted given adeath blow to the unit rule. Ex-

cept as to delegctes at large each dis-

trict will act independently.

The rickety, man-tra- p platform ontbe southVide of the New York storehas been removed.

sented. There was a quartette, con-

sisting of Mr. and Mrs. Lovitt andMiss Blodgett and Mr. Hiller, and aduet consisting uf Mr. Hiller and MissBlodgett, who furnished some veryline music. A supper at the Metro-politan came In its order, followed bydancing, which was continued late.

"Where is he?" "Can you see him?"were tbe questions asked by the eager,surging mob that filled, the aisles,crowded tbe seats, and struggled for afoothold on tbe wide window sills ofthe Tenple of Justice, on the eveningof tbe auspicious day, set apart for thetrial of the Right Hon. Frank James.Interested as tbe gulleles citizen ofthis metropolis bad been in tbe Cren-shaw shooting affair, its importancedwindled Into insignificance comparedwith the great event to follow. Whatnattered it to them if Crenshaw,standing oa tbe threshold of his castle,did kill aa oSlcer, were there notplenty of men la Ireland, yet, readyto oobm over and All the vacancy.

after their verdict of "Not guilty."Money talks nowadays, and the vil-

lain of the day prides himself uponthe protection he will receive by Jus-tice from justice, in the flourishingStale of Missouri. At length the fa-

mous outlaw was brought Into court,and every eye was riveted upon tberather tall, spare form of him whose"hate stopped not on this side of tbegrave." He seated himself easily andgracefully lu an arm chair, by the sideor his counsel, aud It wat then thatwe rose uron our tiptoes and obtaineda good face view of the. man. It wasnot a bad face, the lines showed resolution, the nose was long and sharp,the forehead high and bald, slopingback, the ears stood out at an angleof about thirty-Ov- a degrees, cheekbones high, eyes that might flash fire,lips thin and evidently capable of anexpression of cruelty.

This was the view ef the man weobtained by dint of much tiptoeingnnd manouvering In order to makethe most of our inches. (State of Mis-souri, versus Frank James, read theclerk.) Murder In the first degree:Case finally dismissed for want of evi-dence. There were no witnesses,dead men tell no tales: From "theunreplying dead" comes no accusingword. After nearly a quarter of acentury spent In deeds of violence, noman can be found brave enough tosay be Is a murderer. The friendlessdead must go uurevenced. and theghosts of Pinkerton's detectives areforbidden to unfold a tale "whoselightest word would harrow up tbysoul." The second Indictment forrobbery was also dismissed for thesame cause, and the trial fur the thirdpostponed ball being fixed at $3,500which was refused.

The present thaw will render icecutting on the Missouri rather danger-ous business.

CAPTURED.

Near the beginning of our late CivilWar, Lieutenant Graham was sta-tioned with a few men to guard a gapIn the Virginia mountains. The block-ade or the whole South at that timewas very rigorous, and supplies of anykind were rarely smuggled throughthe Union lines.

One morning, as the Lieutenant satsmoking in the door of his Unt, oneof his outlying pickets presented him-ci- r,

red and blown with running."I've got 'em-- , sir ! It's some of thlin

rebel-- i hookiii' It across the Hue. Ibrought em' to with a round turn '."

"Where?" exclaimed the litutennut, as he jumped to his feet. He wasyoang and zealous, and hail not yethad a chancu to prove his teal. "Reb-els breaking through the line- -, eli?Well done, Wright!"

"Carrying provisions, sir?""No doubt! No doubt! Arms and

ammunition, too, of course. Whereare they? Were they taken prison-ers!"

The man looked sheepish. "They'reback in tbe wcods, sir. I jest fntehedIt along."

"It! What on earth"Tbe lieutenant followed Wright,

who ran to tbe woods, dashed behinda copse and hauled out a little girl ofabout ten years of age, carrying ubasket. A doukey stood beside her.

"There they be. lieutenant! Shewas foot In' It past the pickets, singingDixie to herself, as easy as yer please."

"Take your hands on the child! Ithought you bail captured a dozenmen, you braggart! Who are you, raychild?"

"I'm Dora Nettley, sir."Dora was a chubby, freckled child,

with honest brown eyes, which re-

minded tbe lieutenant or his little sis-

ter away out In Michigan. Still, im-

portant information, maps audhad often been carried by

women and children since the warbegan, and this might be a liearer ofinformation, clild though she was.

"Where did you come from, Dora?""From Martlnsburg, sir.""And what have you in that bas-

ket?"Tbe child's foe grew red, she shut

her lips tight, and remained silent."Search It. Wright.""Here's tea. sir. and a little package

of sugar, and here's a bottle or quininepills"'

"Where are you going with thesethings, Dora?"

She looked wildly from side to side.her chin quivered, and then she burstInto passionate sobs.

"Oh, let roe go, sir. It's my mother's. She is down on the plantationall alone. The negroes have all followed your army, and mv motheralone and sick. I just thought I'dbuy her a little tea aud sugar and themedicine."

"How do you know she is sick ?""Patsey told me. Patsey's the

coachman. He followed tbe soldiersup to IfarUnsbarf. He said there wasnobody to take care of her."

"And you rode from Martlnsburghere on this donkey ?"

"Yes. sir.""And meant to pass these lines?"Dora nodded, and her eyes sparkled.

This kind-face- d lad was not so terriblea foe, after all. "I was just going downtbs gap road. I have ridden it onSpot a hundred times before."

Wright's foce was eagerly turned tothe officer. "Ob.let tbe child go.lleu-tenan- t.

What barrum kin she dowith her bit of U for her sick mltber?I wish I'd been In better businesswhin I teebed you, sissy."

"I wish yon bad," said Dora

"How does It bsppen thst yourmother is alone?" askea the lieuten-ant. "Where is your father?"

Dora's cheeks grew fiery red. Shelooked at the ground uncertainly. Shwas a quick-witte- d child, and hadseen the pity and sympathy In the of-ficer's eyes. If she could bide the factthat her family were actively con-cerned with the Confederates, therewas a chance that she would be allow-ed tejpaits. Bat to lie!

"Where Is your father, Dora?" herepeated.

"In tbe army!" she faltered."Fighting for tbe Union?" ssid

Graham quickly.There was a long pause. "He U

with Lee," she said at last."And your brothers?""They are with Dick Ash by."The youM easeer turned away Im-

patiently. He had hoped to Hud apretext tor being of service to tbechild.

Walk down the Reld a bitkapeyer faaek this way," whis

pered Wright "I'll giveber tbe winkto be off. ABd what harram's done?"

"No ; I am sorry, Dora, but I can-not let yoa pass through tbe amp. Itie aacaiaet orders."

8m did set asske any noise, butdropped oa tbo stsss aad burled herthee la her haads. "I waat mother,"sbs sobbed. "Oh, I waat mother."

"Yoa ess, child," exrfeiaed Wright,"ad support or eomfait kin be carriedto im Mirny."

"I am going to tbe commanding of-ficer to telegraph for a permit for herto pass the lines. You can discoverwhether she has anytblmr contrabandconcealed about her. But I wouldstake my life on the honesty of thechild.

"You will have a ride of twentymiles in the hot sun. lieutenant." saidMr. It. "Do von know the child?"

"No. but I cannot help thlaklag,what if that poor woman, yonder,were my mother, and this little childAlice ?,r

Thispoor mother, dy in jr alone perhamsadthe child wandering through thecountry. Why was there no one whocould see It all right?

In the meantime Dora hail hiddenher basket, locked tbe door, aadkneeled down by the side of tbe bed.She was praying with all the strengthof her little heart to God to help her.And on the other side of the moun-tain. In a solitary house, her motherlay alone.her hands covering ber pale,worn face, while she, too, spake to thesame Friend,wbo had been her FriendIn whom she had trusted all her life.

At tbe end of the day. LieutenantGraham opened the gate of the farmhouse. Mrs. It. with Dora hurried tomeet him.

"I know, by your face, you havesucceeded." she said.

"Yes; the General is the most In-exorable of foes, as far as men areconcerned, but he has a wife and chil-dren of his own. Here Isa tierruit andan order for a guard to take the childthrough the pass."

The officer himself rode with theguard Into the gap.

"Good-by- e my little prisoner. Youwill soon be with your mother, and Ihope you will Hud that she will notneed the medlciuw you are carryingher,"he said as they arted.

Dora's eyes were full of tttars. "Youhave been so good to me," she said,dropping Sis.' reins, and holdingout both bauds. "I wish I could dosomething for you."

"Oh, be good to the first Yankeewho falls into your hands, you littlerebel," be replied laughing.

THE BfcAVEA.Forest a iv I stream.

I am well acquainted with the hair-i- ts

of the Northern beaver. Severalyears ago I bought up --everal hundredacres of mining lands near the southshore of Lake Superior, In Ontonagoncounty, Michigan. On Carp river, asmall stream that crosed a part of mylauds, the beavers had built severaldams, ami formed extensive ponda. inwhich they built their hnues or lodgesas the Indians call them. Thesae lodgesare built in waterseverai feet in depth,and the entrance' l feet underwater, but tin Moor of the lodge Isbuilt atleasttwo feet alsirt high-wat- er

mark. The floor is built mild fromthe bottom of the pond except the en-trance.

Although the beaver is warmly cladwith long, fine fur, he Is vrry sensi-tive to the cold, and rarely, "if ever,leaves the (Kind or lodg? during tbecold weather.
