Midges in the Sunshine. If I could see with a midge's eye, Or think with a midge's brain, I wonder what I'd say of the world, With all its joy and pain ? Would my seven brief hours of mortal life Seem long as seventy years, As I danced in the flickering sunshine Amid my tiny peers ? Should I feel the slightest hope or care For the midge vet to be, Or think I died before my time If I died at half-past three, Instead of living till set sun On the breath of the summer wiud, Or deem that the world was made for me And all my little kind? T TM nil nirwli X CI UO^O Li X UiU X U ailV" ?*??\ ? Of nature's mighty plau, And what is meant for good or ill As that larger midge, a man ! Latest Styles and Fabrics. A beneficent result of the Centennial was to popularize goods of American manufacture. Wash fabrics of every conceivable style and finish are in high vogue. Ladies of this section, instead of sweltering in summer silks, pongees, poplins, or even silk-lined grenadines, have taken refuge in the airy muslins, chambres, cambrics, percales, and even bunting cloths, in short, to dress comfortably, just as they do in New Orleans ami Paris. These materials are frequently made Tip iii the princesse fashion, which is really a prominent feature in the constitution of existing styles, and quite as suitable for these simple fabrics as for the more costly ones, and likely to continue iii favor for many seasons. The primitive form is much like the Gabrielle of past seasons, only, to secure the long, slender, glove-fitting effect, plaits are omitted, as in the Marguerite back, and the seams prolonged over the hips, and considerably below the waistline, back and front, following the center of the figure with scrupulous exactness. An opening at the side, separating the back from the front, simulating a polonaise, is a very pretty arrangement for the street. A pretty walking prince^se, just clearing the ground, as is the latest style, is finished with a succession of narrow ruffles put in straight around the depth of the knee, some with a French 6ack, or a small fichu cape at the back, and crossed in front, the ends prolonged and knotted at the back into graceful sashes. The dolman bearing the same name is at all times a stylish and fitting accessory a fl?ft lAvinnaccn Nothing could be more desirable for general service than a costume of bunting made after this fashion, trimmed with narrow box-plaited flounces cut crosswise, fringed out one-fourth of an inch at the bottom. Sleeves, revers and pockets are trimmed en suite, and worn with a Corday cape, or triangular fichu. Nothing could be more exquisitely elegant for midsummer than a princesse of Mexicaine grenadine, finished with full plaitings of French lace. Many ladies have ou hand a half-worn black silk, no matter if the cashmere finish be worn to a satiny luster; all the better, so it be strong enough to cut a princesse, and over an entirely new lining, will last quite well, and look as nice as new under a profusion of narrow boxplaited, lace-trimmed grenadine ruffles, supplemented by a diagonal scarf ar- j rangement, and be ar immense saving i in the matter of material cost. If desira- I ble, the throat may be cut square, and j filled in with transparent pullings and i the sleeves puffed over a thin lining, showing the whiteness of neck and arms. A French muslin, cambric or thin silk of delicate tint, pale pink, buff, blue or lavender, made into a princesse slip, may serve as a beautiful groundwork for - V A-M A X. I .1 I a uouse ioiiei;f 10 oe wurii uuuer wuitc or black fabrics which have not enough body to sustain themselves. Tnese pretty, inexpensive suits can be so easily contrived at home, usually from the odds and ends of lace, silk or muslin one ha3 on hand. One pleasing j thing about the styles is that they favor the utilization of materials which would j otherwise be considered insufficient and j useless. The princesse, for reception and I evening wear, is called the Farreur j dress, and is the special favorite in four \ continents. Kobes de chambre, in the princesse | style, having shirter trains, are orna- i mented with fancy pockets, and a jabot ! of luce and ribbons extending from neck to toe. Indian cashmere, striped with j various colors, forming an irregular pat- j tern, trimmed with bands of Indian em- ; broidery, are used for making these > dresses. A lovely prmcesse for the house may ; be made of the summer silks, with hairliue stripes of self color, or some prettily ! contrasting shade trimmed with a profu- I sion of pinked out ruffles, which impart j an aerial effect to the simplest toilet. i Morning robes of tinted chambre, 1 braided or embroidered with white j thread or floss, or trimmed with bands J of Hamburg embroidery, are desirable for lady mothers, whose* duties involve | frequent changes. THE PLASTROX. This is a feature of the latest styles of trimmings, characteristic and yet dis- I tinctive. There are plastron backs and plastrons square, heart-shaped, round, { cornered and pointed; short, defining ; the curve of the chest and lung, like , vests. They are made of all manner of materials, and worn with all manner of i dresses. Few models seem complete without them. A new fancy is that of | p tting plastrons and cuffs of cardinal red in tilluel silk in black silk sacks, white the richest dresses have a plastron of fine lace laid over u brilliantly contrasting color. THE BRETON COSTUME. A distinguishing feature peculiar to this costume is the plastron vest, fastened underneath the buttons of the jacket 011 the right side*; buttoned by invisible buttons and buttonholes. Sequin buttons having eyes only in I one edge are very convenient for trimming these dresses ; though ordinary j buttons of silver and steel filagree, i Japanese lacquer, vegetable, ivory and mother-of-pearl, set in like scales, one above another, are used. The broad pocket-flaps, the distinguishing straps on the back of both the jacket and the tunic, are trimmed with galloons of self-colored grounds, embroidered in white floral patterns. The bottom of the tunic is trimmed with a large cord or piping covered with the distinctive contrasting color of the galloon. A princesse with Breton vest of velvet embroidered in gold is a novelty for full dress. These Breton vests are made as if molded to fit the figure. The most desirable Breton suits are made of black silk and cashmere, trimmed with buttons, in clusters, and embroidered bands, all black or else in fancy colors. Indian designs are rich beyond compare, and the da8h of color is a great relief to the sombre uniformity of its absence. 'mi i. /..I T> A J. 110 most ufjeiui x>reiuu ?uu? ure made of black silk or cashmere, or a wholesome combination of the two, trimmed with wide galloons, all black or embroidered in the rich Indian colors, and finished with clusters of shaded pearl buttons, A Breton for seaside, or mountains, of soft white delaine resembling flannel finished with bands wrought in floral tints, and edged with tasselated Roman fringe, is an inexpensive and very stylish suit. WRAPS. This term seems to characterize every variety of outer garments now-a-davs, large or small, heavy or light. The new shapes, however, fall naturally into classes. First, come those designed to wear with the princesse dress, which are much smaller than wraps for general service. The new dolman, of which much has been written, and th? Charlotte Corday fichu, round at the back, the fronts crossed and knotted into graceful sash ends, are particularly adapted to the princesse, or even to I he polonaise for the street. They are pretty, of silk, drap d'cte, or sicilienne, hice or grenadine, of muslin, or crcpe de chines, made of black or cream color, or a tint to match the costume. French sacks are being worn close over the toumure with double-breasted fronts, that button their whole length. A broad facing of silk is set on down the front to make a substantial rest for buttons and buttonholes. Shawls, folded triangularly, are once more fashionably worn. Those who have lace mantillas sometimes drape them as an overdress tor full toilet, or bunch them in the shoulders to simulate a fichu, leaving the back to fall into a graceful Arab and crossing the tabs under a cluster of flowers in front. Flowers of all kinds, both natural and artificial constitutes a principle feature in garnitures as well as in millinery. Fans, panires, brooches, pendants and all sorts of exquisite trifles are made of them, to say nothing of hats formed entirely of birds and blossoms of the most striking contrasts of color. Latma. Turkish Cavalry in Armenia. The Russian army in Armenia had a force of 15,000 regular cavalry covering its advance. Mukhtar Pasha, during the first month of his campaign, could scarcely conduct a respectable reconnoissance to ascertain where the enemy was massed, for he had no cavalry. A regiment of 500 mounted Circassians and fifty Kurd horsemen, under the command of 5loussa Passha, were sent from Erzerum to Soughanlu. A correspondent describes their entry into camp. They came filing two deep in a long column, over the hill side, each of the five squadrons having a crimson or parti-colored red-and-white banner at its head, blazoned with a white crescent and star. The men wore tlie long Circassian tunic, reaching to the middle calf, and confined at the waist by an embroidered belt, supporting the usual gnardless cimeter and long dagger with primitive leafshaped blade, beside the accustomed supply of highly ornamented pistols, pipes and silver mounted bozes. The tunics were mostly black or dark olive, though there was a sprinkling of bright saffron, green and crimson, especially among the chiefs and princes. They wore the usual Circassian head-dress, a red or white ' all cap surrounded by a mop-like covering of black or brown Astrachan fur, concealing all but the top of the inner cap. Both sides of the breast are covered by double horizontal rows of wooden or silver cartridge tubes, according to the social position of the individual. Each man carried at his back a sixteenshooting Winchester rifle, and many, loth to part with their ancestral weapons, carried in addition the quaint-looking, straight stocked, eilver-ringed, flint-lock of his native mountains. Next day came the Kurds, still more nicturesnue than the Circassians, with their huge bright tinted turbans, and crimson and blue flowing garments showing through light muslin and silk mantles. Extravagantly wide trowsers and red leather boots turned up at the toe completed the attire. The armament consisted of the Winchester rifle, curved cimeter, and long leedlike lance, which they shook and brauished till it quivered like a vibrating string. These troops were subsequently defeated by the Russians, between^ the mountains and Kars. Poetical Lynchers iu the Black Hills. A correspondent sojourning in the Black Hills writes as follows from Bapid City, D. T.: When we came to this town everything seemed quiet and peaceful, but upon the ridge, a mile west of town, near a large pine tree, were the bodies of three young men with ghastly blackened faces turned upward toward the clear blue sky, the ropes dangling from the limbs of the pine tree, and the iloati mil. in tlmir nonl-a olirm-iiiiT Vinf fnn plainly how they died. During the day two or three men went out northwest from town to get some ]#gs, and were surprised, when about four miles out, by people whom they supposed to be Indians, judging by the way they rode their horses. Being with an ox team the men left it and run for the woods, and by taking a circuitous route came into Rapid nearly scared to death. A party of fifteen well armed men immediately started out, and found, seven or eight miles out, three white men asleep, with four horses picketed near them. They surrounded them, covered them with their rifles, and awoke them. They were taken to town, and when examined confessed that the liases were stolen at Crook. They were \ placed in a log cabin for the nighl^; but about three o'clock in the morning a band of twenty vigilants -took them out, and when'the people tof the town arose there they were hanging dead, in plain sight of town. They were buried in the evening. The following is to be their epitaph : A. J. Allen, Louis Curry, Jas. Hall, Age 35 years. Age 29 years. Ago 19 years. HOUSE THIEVES BEWAEE. Here lies the body of Curry, Allen and Hall, LOKe otner tmeves, tnoy nau uieir rise, aecune and fall ; On von pine treo they hung till dead. And here they found a lonely bed. Then be a little cautious how you gobble horses up, For every horse you pick up here adds sorrow to your cup; We're bound to stop this business, or hang you to a man, For we've hemp and hands enough in town to Bwing the whole clan. War's Strange Inventions. The present war, slow though it is in its progress, will have the effect of quickening inventive minds. It is very clear that a most serious addition to the perils of Daval warfare has been made by the invention of the torpedo, and it has become essentially necessary for a great maritime power to guard against this invention. Several schemes have beq^ suggested, such as surrounding iron-clads with nets, giving them a convoy of small gunboats, and so forth. But these would so encumber the movements of the vessels, and diminish their speed, that they would be practically unavailable. The latest proposal is to meet explosive force by light. There are two sorts x t - - n l i wi wrpfuuua, biiuiiuw-wuier iuiuc? ium down for defense upon the ground in | deptliB varying from three to forty fatlioins, and the torpedo launch and locomotive mine for deep sea attack. It is the latter which is so formidable. It is launched by skilled engineers, under cover of darkness, and if successfully laid may prove the destruction of the most powerful monitor afloat. It is now i proposed to have a cordon of light around ships, which, while the surrounding water would be illuminated, would keep the ships themselves in darkness. It is stated that within the last, few weeks an adaptation of Holmes' distress | signal has been iuvented, which will answer the required purpose. It is tired from mortars at ranges varying from live hundred to two thousand live hundred J yards. It emits a very powerful white light directly it comes into contact with J the water, and when once ignited is ab| solutely inextinguishable either by wind ! or water, and burns with an extraordi. nary persistency for thirty or forty I minutes. Half a dozen of these shots | would surround a vessel with a zone of j light that would render it impossible for an enemy to approach without the cer: tainty of detection and destruction. TORPEDO BOATS REPULSED. A Daring Enterprise that Reunited In Din* 1 iiNtcr Tor the ItuHniunH. A war correspondent, writing from Pera, says: The adinirality commission lifts just closed its examination of the seven Russian prisoners who arrived here in the Ismail from Sulina. These are the net proceeds of the torpedo affair which took place off that port. It had beon stated here that the commander of the torpedo expedition was an Englishman, and the unlucky officer was hardly in the harbor before the specials marked him for their own. Interest faded somewhat when it turned out that he was only a Russian after all, though he proved to be well informed, gentlemanly and frank, and equally interviewable in English, French or Russian. His name is Puschin, and he lias been sixteen years in the Russian navy. At the examination he gave an interesting account of hiB flotilla and of the unsuccessful attack upon the Turkish fleet. The flotilla is composed of sixteen steam barges, built to steam at great speed and to draw little water. The mode of using them is to approach to within a few yards of the object of attack, and then launch the torpedo at it, steaming away in an opposite direction to avoid being buried undvr the mass of water thrown Tip by the explosion. For the attack at Sulina mouth five boats were used, which were towed down from Odessa to within eight miles distance of anchorage of the Turkish squadron, and then were turned adrift in the .darkness of the night to work out their deadly scheme. They made direct for Snlina, and when the hulls of the Turkish irou-clads loomed in the black distance they steered straight down upon them. They were already within a few yards of their prey when a sudden check was felt, which the men on board the \ 1? 1.1 ?a. i J. i A ri.? ? uuititt cuuiu nut uuuuibluuu. aiici n second or two the boat which Puschin commanded, and which led the way, struggled over the hidden obstacle, and Puschin was just preparing to launch his torpedo against the iron-clad corvette [jadie, when that vessel opened such an infernal fire that Puschin said it surpassed anything ho could have imagined. What became of the other boats Puschin has no idea. He saw their progress checked like that of his own boat, and Ihea he saw the other iron-clads pouring out thunder and lightning upon them. Just at that moment, when he had his torpedo in the water, and was on the very poiut of propelling it against the Ijadie, a shot from that vessel struck it and it exploded. High aloft in the air rose a column of water, which as it sank bacl? nearly swamped his boat, and put his fires almost out. He tried to steam away, but his machinery was damaged and the boat would not go. There and then accordingly Puschin scuttled her, and he and his crew, gilt with cork belts, threw themselves into the stream amid a hailstorm of shot, both small and great. When the launch sank the firing ceased, and boats were put off from the fleet and picked up Puschin and his crew, and conveyed them on board the Ijadie, whence they were transferred to the Ismail and sent to Constantinople. The check which defeated the Russian scheme was due to a precaution of Hobart Pasha's device. Sentinel boats were placed round the fleet, and between each of these hung a slack rope, forming a cordon all round the squadron. These j'opes caught the launches, gave the alarm, and enabled the fleet to open fire in time. In the course of his examination Puschin remarked several times upon the excellent lookout kept on board the Turkish men-of-war, but for which, as he justly observed, the whole squadron would now have been at thebottom of the sea. Hospital Scenes. Behind the Russian army there are j fifty-four temporary hospitals, with over ] GOO beds in each. To each hospital eleven surgeons are attached. Every army division has its own field hospital, with three surgeons in addition to the j regimental surgeon. These lield hospiI tals will iirst. take charge of the sufferer, j carrying him from the ground where he j has fought and fallen, on a stretcher, or : in an ambulance. His wounds will be ' dressed and he will then be sent to the tempory hospital in the rear to be cared ; fur and cured if cure can be found for him. The Red Cross Society is more luxurious in its arrangements, and lucky will be the man who falls into its handsOn June 23, the Turkish batteries at Rustclmk fired upou a hospitnl iu Giurgevo over which the flag of the Red Cross j was flying. The shells dropped thick j and fast, and finally the hospital was j struck. A surgeon and several Sisters j of Charity were within at the time, but there were few, if any, patients in the wards. Among the officers who were killed on the heights opposite Galatz, when the : Russians crossed the river, was Capt. Piskiewitcli, a descendant of the famous commander whose brilliant campaign in Caucasus is one of the greatest achievements of the Russian army. While the Turks were bombarding Giurgevo, Dr. Garrick, physician to the embassy at St. Petersburg, stood at the window of a high tower in the market place, and watched the shells as they burst above and below him. When the whole town was under fire aud'the former was a conspicuous mark for the Turkish gunners, the reckless Scotch surgeon insisted upon "seeing the thing out," and his friends fairly had to drag him away. At the bottom of the town, a I soldier was struck in tul head by a fragment of a shell. The doctor ran up to him and bandaged hi % wounds, working as coolly and quietly, under the terrible fire, as he would have done in a hospital, miles in the rear. A Severe Goat* It seems goats are "all the rage " at I Reading, Pa., and that goat owners are j daily arrested for violenco done by these auimals. Under the caption " The Boss of All the Goats," the Reading Eagle j describes one who has had the hair scalded off his hind parts. Says the Eagle: Among the number of meu who were before the mayor last night to answer I the charge of keeping disorderly and i maliciously inclined goats, was Thomas I McNara, residing in East Reading. Mr. I McNara owns an animal that he considers j one of the boss goats of the country, j When quite young the goat begau the habit of roosting on the housetops, and this practice has been kept up ever Bince. It goes by the name of "Harmony." Harmony does not like children, and a few weeks ago a little girl was caught be! tween liis horns nnd rushed down the j hill about a half square. She was picked ] up nearly frightened to death. Harmony I has butted three of the neighbors' dogs j to death, and has shattered as many ; front doors. Mrs. McNara had several i pots of milk standing on a bench in the yard, aud the goat gave them "hoodoo" I and sent them to grass. When she tried ! to beat him, he turned upon her and hutted her so hard that she raised from her feet. She scalded him so badly that considerable hair on the hind end of the I body dropped off. Mr. McNara said he tried several times to kill the animal, but could not. Once he shot at him so close ! that he thought sure he'd drop, but the i goat held his own. "Then," said the ! owner, " I took pity on him. He has made so many narrow escapes that I j determined never to offer him any more harm. Once a big bulldog attacked him i and the bulldog dropped. He butted rlnwn two TKilicemen and escaped their j revolvers; iu North Heading he was poij soued, but the old woman gave him salt, ! mustard and warm water, and he got ! over it. It is hard to keep him penned I up, for he will tear down any kind of a fence. If somebody gives uk an iron-dad cell we can hold him." 0 MHBnaHABmMOBBBHHHUCflBBHMn A WAR WITII THE INDIANS.

Whipple sent 1 out Foster and Baird Bcouting for Indians in the direction of Gen. Howard's camp 1 on Salmon river. They had not gone far when they met three or four Indians, who ran them back toward camp. Baird * was unhorsed, but escaped; Foster I reached camp. Whipple ordered his command in readiness to move, and in the meantime Lieut. Bains, with Foster and eleven men, were sent in advance to ?Dnino oiwl liio m on rnflo ICUUJLiliUllUlt XVUliiD (VUU AMU uiuu www over the first rise this side of Cottonwood and down into a side ravine where the road crosses before the ascent of Craig's mountain, nnd were attacked before Whipple could get to him after he heard the f ring. Raius and his whole party were killed, including Foster. Whipple's command came forward and formed in line of battle on the east side of the ravine, aud the Indians on the west, all in open ground, about 1,000 yards apart, and with only the ravine between them. Here they remained i menacing each other for about two hours, until darkness came. Whipple retired to his camp, aud the Indians passed over to a point on the Cottonwood trails to Craig's Crossing. No more was done that night. The next morning Whipple, with his men, started this way to meet Col. Terry, who was expected with a supply train from Lapwai, aud kept out his skirmish lines along the route. They met Col. Perry with his train near Board House and escorted him to the camp on rutt/inmnftil /ti-aolr "Rilird nrul txvn men arrived from Mouut Idaho Boon after, and about five p. M. rifle-pits were manned and two Gatlings placed in position. The Indians made several attempts to storm the rifle-pits, but were kept at a distance. About nine r. M. firing ceased for the night. On the morning of the' fifth two couriers arrived from Howard, chased into the camp by Indians. Soon after the Iudians moved their camp with about 1,GOO head of stock across the prairie in the direction of the Cottonwood. No movement was made to interj cept them. Soon after, Capt. Randall I and sixteen volunteers from Mouut Idaho appeared. About 150 Indians intercepted them at the junction of the Elk City trail with the stage road. At this crisis, they being seen from Perry's position on the hill at the rifle-pits, the colonel was urged to go with the troops to their rescue, to which he replied that it was no use, they were gone and he would not order his men to the rescue. The volunteers say that their captaiu, seeing his position, ordered them to charge and break the lines of the Indians, dash over toward the creek bottom, dismount, and return the Indian lire, and hold their position,partly under I cover of a small liill, until the force at i the Cottonwood could reach them. The command was no sooner given than Capt. Randall and his sixteen men made the charge, broke through the Indian line, reached the position named, dismounted, and returned fire. In the charge Capt. Randall was mortally wounded,Benjamin Evans killed, and three of the others wounded. They fought there for nearly an hour, and kept the'Indians at bay. In about half an hour after it wus known j that the Indians had the volunteets in a j tight place, Col. Perry gave orders for ' fifty men to go to their relief. It was j quickly obeyed, and they were relieved i in about an hour. After the charge no j pursuit of the Indians was ordered, but j a retreat was made to camp, and no l pursuit had been made since up to the j time of Morrill's leaving on the night of I the sixth. Tim vnlnntpfii'H Kfiv thev know thev I killed several Indians and wounded many others, as they saw Indians packing oil" [ their dead and wounded. On the same night McConville, with the volunteer I force, arrived ut Cottonwood from | Howard's command. On the sixth a j detachment of seventy-five men under ; McConville was sent us an escort to a ! wagon carrying the killed and wounded | to Mount Idaho. Morrill says that R;m! dall, after he was mortally wounded and i had got into his position, sat upon the ! ground and fired many shots at the Inj dians, the last one not more than five j minutes before he fell back dead. Not I one of these seventeen faltered in the least or Bhowed the white feather,though I hard pressed by KM) Indians, nor did one ! of them seek to run for the Cottonwood | after they had broken the Indian line, , but strictly obeyed orders to hold their i ground. A Brave Young Officer. The Queen of England has conferred ! the Albert medal of the second class on j Acting Sub-lientcmant Arthur James j Archibald Montgomerie, R. N., of her i majesty's ship Immortalite. un tue j morning of the 6th of April, the Immortalite being under plain sail, making four and a half knote, the lookout reported a man overboard, who proved to be Thomas Hocken. Mr. Montgomerie, who was on the bridge, on hearing the cry, jumped after him. He made for ! Hocken, csking if he could swim, to j which Hocken answered: "Yes, sir," j but he did not seem to be moving vigor! ously. Mr. Montgomerie tlicn got held I of him, hauled him on his back, and ! towed him to where he, Montgomerie, 1 suppose^the life buoy would be, but ' seeing 110 relief he told Hocken to keep ; himself afloat while he took his clothes i off. While he was in the act of doing so, i Hocken, evidently sinking, caught hold j i of him by the legs, and dragged him dt^n a considerable depth. Mr. Mont- j j gomerie, however, succeeded in getting i | clear and swam to the surface, bringing | j the drowning man with him. Hocken > was now insensible, and too great a ' weight to support any longer ; and findi ing that liis only chance of saving him' self wss to leave Hocken, Mr. Mont gomerie relucantly pave up the hope of i saving him and struck out for the ship. J In the meantime the ship's course was ' stopped, and two boats were lowered, by \. ! one of which Mr. Montgomerie was j , picked up. Had not Mr. Montgomerie ( 1 been a powerful swimmer, he would ] : have had little chance for life. Over Niagara Falls. One Sunday recently several of the j j employees in the Niagara Falls paper I ! mill formed a chowder party to enjoy j I tlie day near the mouth of Gill creek, i j about two miles above tlie cataract. ' . The chowder was served on the main j : land near Parson's island, and during I ! tho afternoon short trips were made by [ , several of the party in a small boat to j I Navy island. Three men (Pierce, liell' ingcr and Flay) finally attempted the i ' passage when the wind was very fresh, j . When they were half way across, the 1 i boat, being in the trough of tho sea, i; i capsized. The three men endeavored to j ! get upon the boat, but owing to the vi- : j olence of the waves, failed, the boat roll- 11 j ing like a log in the water. Pierce and | i Ttollinnrpr Kni<1 th?v ennhl swim nxlinm I although Flay advised them not to at- I tempt it. Flay watched them a short j! j time, and then began to remove his j: | clothing. He did not see them go down, i I but thinks they did within half a dozen ] rods of the boat. He remained grasping I j the bow of the boat, his mind filled with : j the direst apprehension, yet vaguely i hoping for a. rescue. This happened : ! about five o'clock in the afternoon, and ! in about one hour, three brothers, i named Anthony, William and Jack 1 Walker, who were in a small boat below, j discovered him and went to his rescue, j He was nearly exhausted. 1 STEEL-CLAD OUTLAWS. EIowTIicy Were Foiled by a Brave Express Messenger. fit1 The sensation at Prairie City, 111., has w] been the trial of the "Long Point" ic masked and mailed villains, who attempt- ar ed to rob the Adams Express car at that BC point and murdered the engineer of the aa train. The "Long Point robbery," as it is called?though nothing was actually th stolen?was, as an attempt, one of the la most daring in the annals of crimes of 8t this character. The affair occurred about eighteen months ago. A correspondent ai gives these facts concerning it: D TMm tVInf rvaa nr\nnr\n?j*A in rn/^i?r?or\rfcW a in XUU ?SAV/U II UO WUWWVbU AAA AUUlUUU^IUll *" in a disreputable house. It was there n' thj ringleaders were in the habit of ^ meeting. One of the leaders of the en- m terprise was a well known monte man, W and another was a former employee on in the Yandalia road. This couple laid out the work and were most active in the at- J tempted execution of it. Long Point tt was chosen as the place of attack. It is oi a lively watering station on the Yandalia a< road, in Illinois, between Terre Haute ^ and St. Louis. It was on a dark night that the train came to a halt for a supply fa of water. In a moment three men ii( jumped on the locomotive, and, as a hi preliminary, one of them shot the en- ti gineer dead at the post of his duty. Others in the meantime busied them- jj selves by uncoupling the express car di from the rest of the train, and in a twinkling the locomotive, handled by ? one of the robbers, started rapidly forward, with only the tender nnd express jr car attached. The fireman of the locomo- V, tive was busy on the tender, adjusting tc the water-spout, while all this occurred, }r and was uot aware that anything unusual ni was going until he heard a shot fired, and in the next moment the sudden for- E ward plunge of the locomotime threw him over the side of the tender, and thus 0 probably saved his life, for had he re- q inained at his post the robbers would no C1 doubt have made as short work of him tl as they did of the engineer. Having heard the shot, and surmising In that there was something wrong when he saw the locomotive rush into the dark- w ness without the passenger complement hi of the train, he made his way as quickly tl as he could to the conductor and informed him of what had happened. All was excitement on board the train a, as soon as the truth became known; but ai in spite of a pretty general demoraliza- w tion, the conductor succeeded in making b< up a party to folio .v the locomotive on foot. j; The robbers ran the engine a couplo at of miles, and then brought what there si was of the train to a halt. The only X' person on board, except the robbers, was te the express messenger, an old employee ii of the company, named Burke. He heard 0 the shot fired, and when immediately ni afterward he found the train in motion, ~ he suspected that there was some sort ]e of a plot on foot to capture the treasure hi in his charge, and he immediately set $' himself to work to frustrate any such design as best as he could, by barricad- j>" ing the entrances to the car. When the train came to a halt, a demand was made tj, upon him to open the doors. He stoutly 0i refused to comply, and informed the at- fij tacking purty that vioience would be met 'rt by violence, as he was fully armed. ^ At first the robbers confined them- ^ selves to threats.
