Mor fan's capture by the Federa' forcea near a?nesville, Ohio, July 26,18G3-he was taken to Cincinnati, and for a couple of days kept under a strong guard together with nearly all the office.*, captured with aim, at Ninth Street Station House. Thence they were removed to the peni tentiary at Columbus. Their hoads wero shaved as if they had been common felons, an outrage never yet fully accounted for. Greoly cays, that thia treatment was "certainly not ordered by the govern ment." Seven of these officers, including Morgan, were quartered in tho warden's room for special safety, that being re ported as the most difficult of all places m the prison to effect an oscape from. They -ere imprisoned about August 1, 1862. By the 20th of tho next Novem ber a tunnel had been excavated from tho room to beyond the inner prison wall. Ou the night of November 26 tho en tire seven crawled through tho tunnel and made good their escape. Tho outer wall was not guarded, and the sentry box nearest the tunnel's outer end fur nished the fugitives a convenient shelter where they changed thoir clothes. They crossed tho well at different points and each took tho way ho thought best cal culated to facilitate his final deliverance. Morgan and Captain Jim Hines, tho lat teras perfect a dare devil as ever drew a sabre, went directly to tho Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati depot, arriving just in time to board a train for Cincinnati. At 1 o'clock in tho morning, when they arrived near the Ohio river, above the city, Morgan and Hines were stationed cn the platform of tho two rear cars. At a concentrated signal they set the brakes with all thoir strength. Tho train promptly slacked speed. Tho two fugi tives jumped off, rolled down tho bank of a shallow iill and lay quietly at tho bottom in thc darkness until tho cars had regained full speed. They then made their way to the river and wero ferried over. They soon found shelter, fond and horses in Kentucky. They kept company only a lew days and then Mor gan struck out boldly for the Confeder ate lines in North Georgia, which ho reached, after several narrow escapes and much hardship, about the lOtb ot De cember. He proceeded to Richmond and was a good deal lionized there, lu responso to an admiring party who treated lum to a serenade he made a speech, in which ho declared that he and his fellows had escaped without aid from any one outside the prison. Ile did not say, however, that they had no help from peinons inside tho walls. The Confederate authorities ordered Morgan to gather up a force, including as many as could bc found of his old raiders, for operations in East Tennessee. He did not find mauy of the old command, and was fitted out with in different material in mon and armament. He took such as he had into South west Virginia late in the winter of 1863 4. In the Spring they were kept in camp in Southern Kentucky awhile, re cruiting and drilling. It was a bad crowd, made up of odds and ends, deser ters from both armies, skulkers who had dodged the conscript officera, ruffians and thieves, who could not bo made into decent soldiers unless they should be re made morally. A party of them robbed n bank in Lancaster, in may, 1864. and the command waB nastily and without orders from Richmond marched into up per East Tennesee. Early in August, 1864, General Alvin C. Gillern was sent into Eastern Tenne see with a brigade of five Tennes"<3e cav alry regiments and a battery especially to look after Morgan. Gillern went up to Bull's Gap and camped. After lying there inactive for nearly a month he re ceived word from scouts and citizens that Morgan's force had moved from the cant and occupied Greenville and the sur rounding country. Greenville is seven ty-five miles east of Knoxville and tweu ty miles east of Bull's gap. Gillern got notice of the advancing of the enemy on tho evening of September 3. He moved the Thirteenth Tennessee Cavalry in ad vance aceompp-:cd by Major Sew ell's Battalion of tho Tenth Michigan cavalry at ll o'clock that night. This party was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Wil liam H. Ingerton. The night was ns dark as a wolfs and a ter?ir.c series of storms of rain, thunder and lightning raged from early in the evening until after daylight on tho 4th. When tho ad vance command had reached a point about two or three miles west of Green ville they were ordered to halt by a cou rier sent forward by the General until Gillern came up with tho main force. He arrived at 2 o'clock in the morning. About the time the brigade was con centrated a woman from Greenville drip ping with rain nnd on horseback was conducted to the spot, apart, where the General and his officers were consulting. Her name was Bacon. Sho was an al leged widow, formerly of Ohio. lu re ality sho was an adventuress, and ex-va riety actress, anxious to cause a sensation, get herself talked about among the offi cers of the armies and mentioned in re ports and newspapers. This woman cor rectly told Gillern the situation atGreen ville. Morgan was sleeping at the mansion of Mrs. Williams in the centre of the town and directly on the Bull's Gap street. "Dick" Morgan's regiment was in camp in a field a short distance west of the town, and that side aloco was picked. Duke, with the main forco lay nearly a mile east of where Morgan bad .-.tired for the night. Gillern at once ordered Ingerton to proceed io Green ville with his regiment and Nowell's bat talion. Captain- Roberts, of tho Tenth Michigan, and Captain Wilcox, of tho Thirteenth Tennesee wero sent in ad vauce with their companies. Wilcox, wbeu within three fourths of a milo of tho village got a glympso of tho Confed erate reserve picket in the road. He proposed to Roberts to make a dash into i he town with a view of surrounding the house where Morgan was in bed, cap turing him and staff and trust to luck to get out. Roberta was ready for any en terprise and closed eagerly with his su perior's daring proposition. MOItOAN'S DEATH. "Forward! Trot! Gallop I Charge!" rang out on the air and on the ears of the startled, astonished Confederate sentries They were literally ridden over by the dashing Federals, and before Dick Mor gana's subordinate, whom he had left in command, got a man in saddle the Wil liams house Was surrounded by Wilcox's men. They shot and captured the two or three guards picked up all the horses and an officer or two in less time that it requires to tell tho story. Morgan was awakened by the shooting and tramping. He got on his breeches, boots and hat, and in his shirt sleeves re volver in band, and ran down the long Blooping grounds on the east front of the house. In the northeast corner was a vineyard. As Morgan stooped to pass under thia in order to reach the fence he was discovered by Andy Campbell, pri vate in Company G, Thirteenth Tennes see Cavalry, who fired on him. Tho bal let took effect in General Morgan's right t>A?, ranging upward, on account of hia etcopiug position, passqd out ucar the lteart. He foll nud died instantly. Meantime tho bataneo of tbo otSccrc in and about tho house, a few orderlies and a squad from Dick Morgan's command were captured and rushed off toward tho eastern part of thc tow p. Campbell dis mounted his horse, took a look at the ninn he killed, recognized him-he was a deserter from Morgan's first command raised tho body, threw it over his saddle bow, remounted and rode away with his companions. TLey weut pell mell through tho town, filed to the right, passed out to to tuo north, bore to the right round the Igh hill where the re mains of And.\ v' Johnson aro buried, and though pretty hotly pursued by a ?onion of Dukes ,meu they reached the lull's Gap road near tho point where they had charged tho rebel picket a Laif hour before. Ingcrton meantime had got partially lost aud was stumbling over ditches and through wot > and brush to the south west of the village. Wilcox's firing at Mre. Williams' houso served as a beacon for him, and his force barely got in timo to pursue tho rear of Duke's force, which pursued Wilcox. This circumstance probably saved thc latter from being gobbled. All told they captured about forty men and officers, and worth less guns. Gillern got another star. Campbell was speedily promoted to a lieutenancy, and a few days later was comtemplating bis lively fortune in the guard houso at Kuoxville, his landing lucre being oc casioned byan attempt to "whip a damn ed nigger picket linc." The new-made lieutenant was "celebrating" his com mission, lost his way in tho night and was induced by tho colored pickets, through rough handling and thc prods of a bayonet, to report to Major Johnson, officer of the day. That gentleman, not appreciating his society, removed his in signa of rnnk, shut him up under guard. This creature was after the war ended made a lieutenant ii 'he regular army and was finally killed in a drunken brawl at Helena, Arkansas, in 1869. lu reference to au alleged part taken by Mrs. Joseph A. Williams, daughter-in law of thc lady at whose houso Morgan slept on that, for him, fatal night, in con veying information to Gillern, there has been notoriety through idle gossip and '.brough heedless and sensational accounts in tho press. Something I wrote several year* ago has been tortured into a support of thij scandalous story by cutting out of one of my paragraphs the name of the woman Bacon. Mrs. Williams was a young and refined woman at that time, certainly not more than twenty years old. She and all her kin were ardent Confed erates. She was a quiet and retiring lady who would as soon be suspected of thc performance I have described as she would be of having inherited the warlike qualities of Joan of Arc. No more cruel story was ever told on a woman. A boy named Leady, who claimed ho had been ill-treated by Morgan, carried the information from Greenville to Bull's Gap. He was theretofore instigated by a Mrs. Frey and a Mrs. Foster, wives of men serving in the Federal army, and both strong Unionists. But the details of Morgan's situation were given Gillern by the woman Bacon, whom I knew sev erul years after the war and from whom I havo the entire story, which she told in a manner tu convinco a listener that she was not romancing. General Gillern also told mein effect tho samo thing, and she was corroborated by others who met ber on the night of too surprise. Thc stupid sensation lately started to the effect that Morgan is alive and prac ticing medicine in Southern New Mexico is eutirely without foundation, of course. I saw Morgan several times during his lifo and I Baw his dead body. Hundreds of others saw it who were intimate with him in life. His wife, who was a Miss Heady, of Murfreesboro, Tenn., waa a beautiful and accomplished vornan and they were very happily mated. Mrs. Morgan, several years ago, married Judge Williamson, of Tennessee. She saw her former husband's remains and mourned at his funeral. His body was sent to her, beiug passed through the lines under a flag of truce.-By J. E. MacUotean, Ijitc Colonel United 'States Volunteers. A Thorough Job. Judge-, a well-known jurist liv ing near Cincinnati, was fond of relating this anecdote. He had once occasion to send to the vilhigo for a carpenter, and a sturdy young fellow appeared with his, tools. "I want thia fence mended to keep tho cattle. There arc some unplanod boards-use them. It is out of Bight from tho houso, so you need not take time to make it a neat job. I will only pay you a dollar anda half. The Judge went todinner, and, coming out, found tho mau carefully planing each board. Suppcsir.t thai he was try ing to make a costly job of it he ordered him to nail them on at onco just as they wero, and continued his walk. When ho returned the boards were plaucd and numbered ready for nailing. "I told you that this fence was to be covered with vines," ho "aid, angrily, "I do not care how it looks," "I do," said tho carpenter, gruflly, carefully p.ensuring his work. When it was finished there was no part of tho fence BO thorough in finish. "?iow much no you charge?" asked tho Judge. "A dollar and a half," said thc man, shouldering his tools. The Juago stared. "Why did you spend all that labor on thc job, if not for money." "For tho job, sir." "Nobody would have seen tho poor work on it." "Hut ? should have known it was there. No ; I'll take only the dollar and a half." And bo look it and went away. Te.t years afterward, the Judge had the contract to give for the building of certain magnificent public buildings. There were many applicants among master-builders, but tue face of ono caught his eye. "It was my man of the fence," he said. "I know wo should have only good, gen uine work from him. I gave him the contract and it made a rich man of him." It is a pity that boys were not taught iu their earliest years that tho highest success belongs only tc the mas, be he carpenter, farmer, author or artist, whose work is most sincerely and thoroughly done.

Krery Article o? Houtehold Furnitur?, und the House ItMlf Mado of Paper. j Cburitr-Jouriial. The display of paper articles exhibited ' in tho Exposition by ti e Bremaker Mooro Paper Company is something rc wai kable und shows to what variety of uses paper can Lo applied. In this col- j lectiuu, which ?8complete in every partie- j ular, can bo found almost any article j that is commonly made out of wood, iron or steel. On tho outside or the railing ; which surrounds tho display aro two j large paper car wheels, such as ate gen- j erally mado of steel and used on rr.iirond cars. These aro beautifully made and much more durable and cheaper than the ordinary wheels. Inside tho railing, Hiero tao display is, almost every article ot kitchen furn i turo can be seen. There are wash vessels, pots, tubs, trucks aud stund. Tho process by whicL til the ar ticles arc transformed from 'inen ra;;:; imo useful und ornamental a.tielea is a very long and tedious ono, and very little is known about it except by those who assist in performing the transformation. The process is so long, aud so many dif ferent things aro used, that it would take a whole column to describe it minutely and do the subject justice, although the general outlines of tho work are very sim ple and will be of considerable interest to thoae who see thc display aud wonder how it is made. A roporter ... thc Cou rier-Journal met Mr. Ross at the Expo sition last r.;ght, and from him obtained some points about tho work. "The fuel of thc matter is," said Mr. Ross of thc Bremaker-Moore Paper Com pany, "there are very few things that can't bo mnde of paper, and tho people, as a general thing, bave no idea of it* general usefulness. Take thin, first ar ticle in the (I!1?play-a paper car wheel, made entirely of paper, and much morn durable than a steel one. Tho wheel is mado entirely of paper rir.g.s pressed to gether under a pressuro of six tons, and then fastened. When the rings are laid loosely upon each other they form a stack as high us the ?boulders of an ordi nary man when this great pressure is put upon thom they sink to the thickness which they now are. They are theu fastened by means of bolla, and a steel tiro put on them, when tboy aro ready for use. In running these wheel? are much moro du rable than stool ones, and also much safer nnd easier to run, as they aro more flexi ble. If the steel tiro should chanco to wear or fall off tho wheel, the paper is compressed BO hard that it would not causo tho slightest accident, as thc wheels in use on trains have been known to run to their journey's end with a tiro off a n wheel and tho pressure on tho paper. Then they aro much cheaper than tho other wheels. For instance, take a paper wheel, which will run 2,400,000 miles without wearing out ; thc cost for tho en tire Uitttance will be $330, or thirteen and three-fourths cents per 1,000 miles. The cost of a steel or iron wheel to run 200, 000 miles will bo ?33.34, or sixteen and two-thirds cent per 1,0U0 miles. Tho paper wheel is as much moro durable as 2,400,000 exceeds 200,000, which is a vast difference. If the train should chance to run off the track there would be no dan ger of a wheel breaking, as they are very flexible and would spring. Tho hardness to which paper can bo pressed is very re markable, as is also itsstrength. A paper ball or any article can bo tnndo out of linen fibres and compressed BO hard that nothing but a diamond tool can make au indentation into it. At our mill there is a square block of compressed paper fas tened on a turning lathe, and it is so hard that if a fine steel chisel is held against it when it is moving, instead of cutting the paper it will brc>.k tho chisel into a hunared pieces. Tho most re markable thing about tho paper is its strength. I will take for illustration, a a bank noto of the Hank of England. These notes aro made by a peculiar pro cess, which is known only to the English mints. The process is such ns to make tho linen fibre into paper without destroying any of its strength. You can take a live-pound note of tho Hank of England and twist in your fingers into a kind of rope, and you can then suspend 829 pounds upon ono end of it aud not in jure it in the alighted. Hero ia another article-a small kitchen or house truck on wheels, used for w heel lug louds around thc house. The sides and bottom of this are very thin, but made of finely com pressed paper, and it is capable of bearing a weight of five tons. These bath tubs and pots are made in tho same manner by compressing tho paper made out of linen fibres and annealed-that is painted over with a composition which becomes part of tho paper and is fire-proof. Tho tubs will last forever, and never leak, or you eau put them in the fire nud they not burn up. It is almost impossible to break tin rn, as you can beat on them, with a hammer and not injure them in the least. This bust of President Gar field is made of paper and pressed over a mould and made very solid. In making such articles as these it requires but little pressure. These plates oro made of paper, compressed annealed and nroalso very du rable; you can wash them and not in juro them in the slightest, or can drop them on the floor and stand on them. The plates are cheaper and much handsomer than China ones, and will, I think, como into use. The knives and forksaro mado in the same manner as the others, by compressing tho paper. Thc fork eau bc used for any practical purpose, and is as good as n steel one, and the knifo will last forever and can always bo kept sharp. Then another great use for which paper can be applied is to substitute it for any kind of wood. It isa growing complaint in this country that black walnut is get ting very scarce, and furniture manufac turers aro talking of uubslituting cherry and other woods for it. liere aro some picture frames made of paper and colored like walnut, and are BO perfect that no one could detect them without cutting < them. The paper makes a much barder and better piece of furniture than wood itself. A be?slead made oi' paper looks beautiful and in. everlasting. It is mado in the same manner as the car wheels only they are made out of long strips of paper rings. Another very valuable ar ticle which can bo made out of paper is a cooking or heating stove. These paper ste *ss are annealed, and it is impossible to hi.rn them out, and they are much cheap er than iron." "You can do almost anything with paper but eat it," remarked the repor ter. "AU but eat it," aaid Mr. Ross, with an exclamation of surprise, why I have eaten it, and like it very much. I took a large amount of prepared Uko mush, and ate it in soup and found it very palatable. I tell you, yon can make or do almost anything with paper. When I build another house I intend to build it from foundation stone to roof out of paper. Wo can make a bouao out of paper, and one that will last forever, furnish it finely with paper furniture, makeall the dishes stoves, knives and forks, nnd all other articles in tho house out ot paper. I have frequently noticed and admired the Courier-Journal building, and it might bo somewhat strange when I state that a building ju?t like it could be erected out of pancr only it would bo much moro durable. Too printing press, cases, type, and all the fixtures of thc offico could ho made out of paper, and would bo much cheaper than the.ordinary ones, as well as moro durable. Another thing which can bc made cut of paper is a complete steam engine, which would do all tho duties of a metal ono nod lust longer. Tho fr ii of the matter is that there is not an nrticlo that cannot bo made, and splendidly made, out cf paper. I think it is by far the most uv ful thing in the world. Tho time it tak;-s to transform a linen libro into a lino car wheel or other article is twenty-niuo hours. It will toko some time longer to make paper chillies and shoes." HUN-BORN TORNADOES. Looking into tho iilnck Depths of Fright ful Whirlpool),. XtW Vor): Sun. Tho astronomer was intculy studying sun spots, and occasionally removing his eye from the telescope to wipe the sweat from his brow, when tho reporter called yestcrdny afternoon. "Pretty warm for thc cud of Septem ber," wc said. ''Is there anything hap pened on thc sun to account for this clear weather ?" "Well." ?nhl thfl astronomer, carefully dusting a speck of dirt off the eye piece, "that's hardly a fair question just now, because men of science arc hard at work upon that very subject, mid they havo not yet completed thc investigation. However, I think I may venture, provis ionally, lo answer your question in tho affirmative. Certainly thcro aro lively times on thc sun. There ure tornadoes there that make the recent hurricane in Quincy seem insignificant enough. Look for yourself.' Tho reporter placed his eye at thu tele scope, and there hung the great globo of tho sun, perfectly round and slinrp in outline. Its surface was dotted with a number of dark spots that looked Uko pits or holes in tho glowing ball. Two of them, ono near tho centro and the other just passing around the edge, were largo enough, tho astronomer said, to swallow up thc earth. In several places the surface was ridged and wrinkled wilh intensely while lines, showing thc erup tion of vast masses of flaming hydrogen from the interior. These would shortly be followed, the tustrdnomcr explained, by thc formation . f tremendous fiery whirlpools, whoso black depths even the bulk of a planet v ould not suffice to fill, The reporter could not help uttering un exclamation of astonishment when the meaningof what he saw was explained to him. "That is not n very far fetched iden which some, people entertain, ihnt hell it located in tho sun," said tho astronomer "You see it is big enough mid hot enough to sntisfy tho mont orthodox. Hut then is one objection which they probably have not thought of. Tho sun's firc3 art not eternal. Hy and by a crust will forn over the surface and thc fires will dh out. Hy 'by and by' I mean any when between 12,000,000 and 18,000,000 years Then, again, somebody has recently nd vanced the theory that thcro is no fire ii thc sun ; that the earth and sun nro luigi magnets, nud that boat and light and al tho other phenomena of the soiar syslcn aro due merely to tho play of maguctii forces. According tn this view, the dui is ns coo! and agreeable a place of abodi as the earth. Hut I don't believe it. I seems to me not much bettor than th theory that I found in a newspaper um pasted in the back of my Hurritt's Cleog ruphy of the Heavens when I was a bo that thc sun is n ball of ico which acts a a lens, condensing tho rays of light tim come from tho Creator upon thc earth. "But this is all aside from tho questior Havo sun spots nnything to do with th earth's weather? Tho answer to tim question would be particularly interest ing this year, si neu wo have had, and av having, most extraordinary wcathci Unfortunately it is only recently thu men of science havo trented the subjee seriously, and the observations do not g back far enough to give a definite answe to thc question. It is known that th sun spots appear according to some lav tho time from maximum to maximui ugnin being between eleven and twelv years. But tho observations of tho co responding periods, not having bee taken with n distinct view to tho Bolutio of this question, give discordant result and it may be many years before wogi from such observations proof that tl sun's condition does or docs not direct! affect tho weather. "There.is, however, unother road to tl solution of thc question. It is settle that thc sun affects the earth's electric conditions. A few days ago tho sun coi tnined nu interesting account of tl effects of a magnetic storm upon thc tc cgraph wires, and especially upon tl Atlantic cable. On the night of Sopter ber 12th cabio messages were delnyc and thc wires in various places refused work. On the samo night there was i extraordinary display of tho port he lights. It could not bc well seen in tl city on account of the gas lights, but have accounts of tts appearance in Ce tral New York, where tho inhabiter, were astonished to sec vast nud beautil arches of light spanning the shy, and ll long streamers and curtains of tho a rora mysteriously waving tu and fro tho northern heavens. Well, tiie sun w respousible for it. There was au ot break of electrical foico upon hisHurfn which was quickly respouded to by t earth. Whenever tun spots arc np numerous, or, in .other ls, wheucv tho sun is in n stair almost consta and extraordinary agitation, the cat shows its effect by displays of tho nure borealis and electrical storms. There a inmous storm of this kind on record, the beginning of which two English i tronomer* happened to bc watching t sun. It was September I, 1859. Si deuly they perceived two brilliant poi: gleam out upon thc sun. Almost nt t same instnnt telegraph wires all ov England, in America, in the fur th parts of Ku rope refused to work. Strar electrical phenomena wcro observed flame of fire followed Bain's electric r. in Boston ; a telegraph operator in N way was partly stunned, and thc appa tus set on Uro ; in several oilier p'.a tho telegraph operators received sov shocks. Thcro nrc other well known stances of tho effect of solar outbnr upon (be earth. "Now, since the storms on tho t thus affect the earth's electricity ? magnetism, I think it eau fairly ho BI that they affect our weather, for tho el trical condition of the atmosphere is i the least among tho causes that govi terrestrial storms. It would, nf course, too fanciful ' ) assort that tue tornad that racked Quincy on Saturday, r Elmira on Sunday, started from tho st and yet you seo, such a statement wo not be ail untrue, for tho sun's heat ah acting with local causes, is sufficient set tho atmosphcro in a mad whirl. 1 whole subject is an unsettled state, if como of tho theories that have b advanced are to bo trusted, those, ci may havo a sun spot to thank for tl Ill-luck.'* CURRENT Tones.

At Pollville, Pa., Monday, Judge Per shing refused to grant a chartor *o tho Helping Hand Mutual Aid Mawingo Association. After pointing out half a dozen fatal technical objections in the application, his honor bused bia refusal on moral grounds, holding that such so cieties strike ut tho very foundations of human society Ly luring people to matri mony from mercenary purposes, and thus increasing the work of thc divorce courts and swelling to a stream the flood of demoralization in this particular which already exist. His' honor approvingly quoted from Judge Henderson's recent opinion, and declared that marriage insurance is neither wanted by the com munity, good for society or for tho indi vidual.

Au Alexandria, live miles below here, the water is backing up over the prairie, and there is a prospect that tho town will be completely inundated. Tho railroad shop) and lumber yard? in thc Southern part of the city are com pletely surrounded, and operations have been suspended. It is feared that the river will rise at least another foot, and that a very disastrous flood will result. A Shot-king Crime.

At tho inqucpt White's wife confessed to all of the revolting details, when a young man named Hart, incensed at the story of fiendish brutality, shot tho negro man dead. Tho wife of Lum and an old negro man who lived with them were started ou their way to Carthage but a crowd met the escort and took the pris oners out and shot them. The Keely Motor. Encouraged doubtless by the spec ulative tendency of the times, tho Keely motor project is brought to ?he front again. An exhibition of its {towers was f;Tven in Philadelphia on Mond*7 even ng, which was witnessed by a number of scientific and mechanical experts, and whilo tho tests made were ?ntere?tiur. nnd even wonderful, they could..hardly be called satisfactory from a practical point of view. To begin, Mr. Keely' poured lesa than a pint of water into a tube. Ho then pulled a lover to start tho machine, and a power alleged to bo equal to a pressure or fifteen .thousand pounds to'the square inch was at onco pruduccd.; With, this power heavy w i:ri t. weis lifted, a ono and a quarter inch ball was driven from a sran.il can^ non through two pino planks, each two inches in thickness, and flattened against au iron wall beyond, and tho wheels of an engine wore put in rapid motion. Mr. Keely claims that his machine is now completo with the exception of a brake or regulator, with which to r?gu l?t*} tho power, but it is said that all his explanations in regard to it "were couched in language utterly incompre hensible to an engineer." A Hacrcllglous Thief. A few days ago an item in tbeso col umns staten that thc contribution box at Cathedral of Su.i Fernando lind been robbed, and that it was thought, the rob bery had been committed by ner?ro boya. Thc daring and natural disposition to steal of the youthful darky were most conclusively demonstrated yesterday bv au attempt on the part of two small colored, boys lo again rob tho contribu tion box. Tho boys were seen in tho body of tho church by Father Genolin, who approached them and asked of them what they wanted there. The boys did not retreat from thc presence of the priest but walked firmly forward. Their an swer to his inquiry was that they had como to tho Cathedral to nay their pray ers, when thc good priest smiled upon them, thc little fellows walked still fur ther forward, entered a pew and fell upon their knees. They continued to remain in this praying attitude, and the priest walked back and disappeared from their view, but he still kept an cyo on them, probably more out of amazement than anything else. And it was well that ho did so, for tho boys, when they thought they wore unobserved, sprang from their kneeling position mid ran toward t lie con tribution box, one of them drawing u hatchet with which he won proceeding lo take thc lid from thc box, when tho priest suddenly appeared und seized him by tho arm. The other boy fled, but this one was turned over to the custody of tho police. His pal was afterward arrested on tho street, and both nre now in jail with positive evidence against them. Tho abovo item indicates the sharpness of thu voulhful darky in plnnnig for tho execution of crime. Indeed, tho propen sity to steal and do malicious deeds seem to be counterparts of the inborn nature of thc average negro, youth while tho aver age carcass of the twelve-year-old. San Antonio darkey invested with as much impudence as a full regiment of Basin Bazouks. Last Friday a purse was raised to drape, the public high school in re spect to tho memory of our deceased President and the materials for tho dra pery were obtained, and the young ladies ami ?cachi .a of the school devoted con siderable timo lo thc arrangement of tho draperies. The succeeding night a gang of darky boys visited the school and toro down the drapery, which they will prob ably uso to advantage when "kite time" rolls around again in producing scare crows in thc air to cause runaways and smash-ups, and broken skulls und news paper items. Nothing to equal tho youthful darky ns an item mill.-?Son Antonio I?-prest. I/ays Without Mights. There is nothing that strikes a stranger more forcibly, if ho visits Sweden in June limn the absence of night. At Stock holm, for example, tho sun goes down a lil Ho before 10 o'clock P. M., but the passes around tho earth and is only just below the north polo a short time; tuero is a great brightness all night, and such that you can see to read at midnight. There is n mountain nt the head of the Gulf of Bethina, where, on tho twenty first of June, tho sun does not go down Kt ali. Traveler.-! go there to see it. A. steamboat goes up from Stockholm for tho purpose of carrying those who aro cu rious to witness tho phenomenon. It only occurs ono night. The sun goes down to tho horizon, you can seo tho whole fucej of it, and in five minutes it begins to rise. At the North Cape, latitude sevonty five degrees, thu sun does not go down for several weeks. In Juno it would ho about twenty-five degrees above tho hor izon at midnight. The changes in these high latitudes, from summmer to wilder aro so great that we can have un concep tion ot them. In thc winter thc sun dis appear in the South, and is not seen for six wecKs. Then it just ?bows its face. Afterward it remains len, fifteen or twen ty minutes, and then descends, und final ly it makes almost a circlo around tho heavens. Animal lifo accommodates itself to these long clays. Birds and animals take their accustomed rest at tho usual boura. They go to rest whether the sun goes down or no. The hens take9 to tho trees about 7 o'ctlocV P. M., and sit there until, the sun is well up in the morning, and tho people get into thc habit of late rising, too. Longfellow tells us of his visit to a village where, although the sun wa.? shining, not a soul was to bo seen in tho streets. SOUTH CAHOMNA ANO NEW YOKE. At his Brooklyn church, Inst Sunday, Dr. Taimage paid nu eloquent tribute to our late President.
