Dear Sir: On the 18th day of April
last, a man was killed In Harris
county, of IIiIh State, while traveling
through this country, by one Dowd
well AtftHHs, his carriage driver. Ad
ams Is-now in jail here, and will be
tried for murder on the second Mon
day In October, next, at llamllton,
Harris county, Georgia.
The deceased was found by the po
lice of tills city on the morning of the
19lh of April in the Chattahoochee
river, where Adams had thrown him.
The deceased had been for aomo time
about TusSega, Ala., and was known
there by the name of Harry Jove,
but in looking through his effects I
iind that he owned a grocery storo at
Oxford, Kansas, in 1876, and that one
A. Barnard was his business man,
and from letters written by Barnard,
found iu the trunk of the deceased, I
find that ho waB called Barber, and
from other papers I am satisfied that
his real name is Harry W. Barber. He
had some $3,000 in money aud other
personal property amounting to$1.000,
which is all now in the hands of a re
sponsible party, held subject to the
claims of his relations. I flud pic

with the prosecution of the murder,
aud I am very desirous to find out
something about the deceased and his
relations. Will you be kind enough
to hand this letter to the editor of
some paper in Topeka for publication.
Perhaps they will do so without
charge, to assist iu finding out the re
lations of' the deceased.
' Should the paper be kind enough to
publish' It; will youplease mall a copy
to my address.
I have In my possession Beveral pic
tures of the deceased, aud wiil for

fled that they oau assist me in my in

BY MKS. S. T. rEimY.
The bell had rung, the school was out,
And from the hall with busy feet
Tho boys rushed forth with nlnugh nnd shout
And crowded through tho village Btreet,
Like prisoners from their cells broke loose,
Escaping from the calaboose.
Across the street, and all alone.
A small boy walked with rapid gait.
Like one unknowing nnd unknown.
With head erect and form so straight;
lie heeded not the crowd that cried,
"See Tatchlo' on the other side."
I wondered much why this should bo.
But when I looked I knew too well,
The noblest of them nil was he;
But sad to think, more sad to tell,
He from the crowd had been detached,
Because his pantaloons wcro patched.
No answering word escaped him there;
I wntched hlmns ho climbed the hill,
Then thought "Each other's burdens bear,
And thus the law of Christ fulMl."
And so I joined him on tho road.
Hoping to lighten his sad load.
I spoke in Moving words and kind ;
31c, smiling, looked up into my face
He had a true and noblo mind
Ami answered with n manly grace,
"My father, sir, has long been dead.
And mother earns our daily bread.
"To school shosends mo every day,
I do the bast (hero that I can,
And mother says she'll get her pay,
When I grow up to bo a man ;
And, sir, I hopo that I Ahall be
All that my mother wishes me.
"Thpy call mo "rntchlo,' I don't care,"
Said ho, while passing through the gate,
"It's what we arc, not what we wear.
That makes us good and makes us grcnt ;"
He touched his cap, and said good-night,
I whlbpercd, "JKoblc, brave nnd right.'
Istnrtcd on my homownrd way,
Not only boys but men, I thought,
Pass by tho poor ones every day.
Only the rich and grand arc sought;
This world, ho full of foolish pride,
Puta"ratohlo"on tho other side.
D09GIXG FQK LIFE.
John King was sent in haste on an
errand to his uncle's, a mile distant.
His way led along a well-trodden
path across a belt of woods.
It was In Western Pennsylvania, In
the dark years of Indian wars; but
the savages had not been seen in that
vicinity forsome time, so that no dan
ger was feared for the lad on such a
(hat the three prongs, as they lay one
under another, were far enough apart
for him toslip between, which he in
stantly did, just in time to dodge a fu
rious blow from the tomahawk.
The Indian, perceiving that the
place was too Bmall to admit bis huge
body, swiftly sprang around the root,
thinking to catch his victim on the
further side. But tho keeneyed lad
was too wary for him. Detecting the
red-skin's purpose, like a flash he
slipped back between the fallen trees,
so that, as his blood-thirsty enemy
dasneu In sight with a yell, the bar
ricade was still between them. At
this the savage rushed to the fence,
and placing his hands on the upper
tree, attempted to jump over, but he
could not spring so high. Then he
tried to orawl through where John
had just gone, but found only room for
his ugly head.
After a little, he turned about, and
saying in broken English, "Good bye
me go 'way," walked slowly round
the root, and disappeared. The boy
knew, however, that It was only a
trick, and kept his eyes and ears alert
against surprise.
Immediately ho detected the snak
ish eyes of tho savage gleaming at
liim from among tho dry leaves on
the ground, at the corner of the root,
on theoppositeside of the fence, where
the old rascal had crept, in order to
watch the youugster unseen.
After lying in this position for two
or three minutes, only his head In
sight, and that covered with leaves,
he made another dash around the root.
But John was too quick for him, and
slipped safely between the logs once
more.
Failing again, the wicked red-skin
resorted to another ruse. He begon
to parley, saying, "Me good Injun me
no hurt. Shake hand !" And he
thrust his hand through the barricade.
Of course, hedid not succeed in cheat
ing the little follow by such a shallow
device, and so again changed his
tactics.
Presenting his gun, lie commanded
John to surrender, or be shot ; but the
lad preferred to be shot by a bullet
rather thau a tomuhawk, and so stood
his ground. Strange enough, tho In
dian did not shoot; but after looking
across the sights of his gun, and mak-

river, Belfast, Australia, In removing
'the reef had a rather narrow escape
from losing his life on Thursday
evening, the Gth nit. It appears that
Mr. Smale had fired off a charge of
dyuamlte and displaced a large quan
tity of Btoues at the bottom of the
river. He went down to prepare for
lifting stones by the aid'of chains into
thepuut. While engaged" in rolling
over a large stono he saw something
which he supposed at the time was a
pieceolean-looklng kelp moving about
In front of where he was working. In
a few movents this object came jn cou-
taot with the diver's arm, about which
It quickly colled, partly holding him.
.Immediately Mr. Smale touched what
was coiled rouud bis arm he became
aware of Ills position, and tried to ex
tricate himself from the grasp of a
"sea-devil," but found It a far more
dlQlouItjob thau he anticipated.
Catching hold of the pars hanging
from tho arm he walked along tho
bottom of the river toward the end of
It, when he was firmly held by bne of
the feelers of a large ootopus, better
known among sailors as the "devil
fish." Mr. Smale tried to pull the
fish, off from Its hold of the rooks, but
without eflect for some time. At last
the fish, perhaps thinking It had not
got sufficient hold or power upon its
prey, loosened itself from the stones
and quickly transferred Its feelers or
arms around the diver's legs and body.
In this position Mr. Smale thought
the best thing for him to do was to
get upon deok as soon as possible, and
he quickly made tracks for the lad
der which reaches from the punt to
tbe bottom of the river. The diver
wa9 certainly a ourlous looklug objeot
when be came up. This huge, ugly
looking thing appeared to be entan
gled all over him, holding him lu'a
firm embrace.
However, Mr. Smale'a fellow-workmen
were not long in freeing him
from the unfriendly hug of his sub
marine companion. The body portion
of tbe octopus was only about the size
of a large soup plate, with eyes in its
bead like those of a sheep, but it pos
sessed nine arms, each about four feet
in length, at the but as thick as a
man's wrist, tapering off at the end
to. as fine a point as that of a pen
knife; thus it could spread over an
area of nine feet in diameter. All tbe
way along the underneath part of
each feeler are suckers every quarter
of an Inch, giving It Immense power.
Mr. Smale declares it was powerful
enough to keep three men under wa-
resq
Isle country, two years before, and
had never met anything stranger
than a wild turkey or a deer.
John was a brave, atbletlc boy of
fourteen, quite noted In the village for
his punctuality, and as sure to return
on time as an express. As he left the
door, ho noticed that it was 1 o'clock,
and said in a jolly tone to his parents :
"Now fora race with the shaddow ;
Iehall be back before it reaches the
two mark."
Some years ago, the pioneers of the
borders measured the flight of time by
a sort of sun dial on the cabin floor.
A spot was selected where, in clear
days, the sun shone full through the
narrow window, and when some offi
cer having a watch was present, the
line of shaddow made at noon by the
perpendicular window casing was
nrawn along the floor. Then the
hours and half hours were spaced off
on either side the noon mark, for the
forenoon and afternoon. This kind
of clock answered very well when the
skies were clear, but in oloudy weath
er, a'settler's family was sadly adrift
on the flood of time.
When the shadow had crept across
the two murk, the mother noted it,
aud said to herself, "For once John it?
outdone." When half past two was

Every dove baa a cote, and every
looked for him ; when tho three mark
was passed, she felt very anxious
about him, aud called to her husband,
who was in a field near by. But their
confidence in the young fellow's abili
ty to take care of himself was such
that they waited, though uneasily,
until after four, whcnt1iu father slung
his gun across his shoulder, and start
ed up the path by which the absentee
was expected.
Mr. King was a fine specimen of a
border man, tall, strong, steady-nerved,
brave, and Intelligent. He was
an experienced hunter, aud a success
ful Indian fighter.
But now, leaving him, as with cat
Hkestepand watchful cyo he treads
the belt of woods, letus go with John,
and discover tho cause of his unusual
delay.
He had done his errand, his aunt
had stuffed his pockets full of parch
ed corn, and on his return he had
reached a certain bend iu the path,
where he sat down on a mossy bank,
to tighten the strings of his coarso
shoes. Just as the matter was fin
ished, a noise caused him to look
sharply among the trees, when ho es
pied within a few rods, ruuniug tow
ard him with uplifted tomahawk, an
exceedingly large Indian. A glance
was enough to start the lad to his feet,
and prompt him to his best speed for
safety. But the warrior's position
was8uch as to cut him off from the
path to his own home, or to his uu
ole's; so that no way was left him
but to Btriko into tbe uutrod forest,
and run for life. He had gone'but a
little distance, when he heard the
steps of hi3 pursuer rapidly overtak
ing him, and he knew that he oould
not escape by flight. And to aggra
vate his case, he saw, at this instant,
just before him, a large tree upturned
by tbe roots, and lying directly aoross
his course.
His fate seemed sealed ; every In
stant he expeoted to feel the' edge of
the battle-axe ; and such a horror bad
he of the knife, and of having his
scalp stretched on a hoop to dry, that
he involuntarily put up his hands to
save his head, a fact about which, In
after years, he used to laugh heartily.
The tree, toward whloh desperation
Impelled the boy's feet, had grown
in three parts, and as it fell, the lar
gest was uppermost, some six or seven
feet high, and the other two direotly
underneath, like the rail of a
fence; while thegreat flake of earth ad
hering to its roots made a oross section
of wall two feet thick, a rod long,
and ten or twelve feet high. What a
trap!
But as he came close to it, he eaw
resorted to the
once more. .
"Injun hungry-
get Injun bread. '
But John did not think it befit to
start for home, on such an invitation.
The next effort was to kill the lad
by throwing his tomahawk ot him be
tween the tree; but he miscalculated
tho space and struck the weapon
against a log, breaking out the han
dle, which, falling at John's feel, was
Immediately pioked up by him, as a
means of defense.
One of the savage's devices, by
which, perhaps, he meant to frighten
his victim, was to place his hideous
fooe at tho opening between the legs,
and howl and gnash at him llks a
wolf.
But the boy's courage had rallied,
and he began to pelt his enemy with
stones and lumps of earth, obtained
from the upturned soil, giving him
many a stinging hit. This so mad
dened the Indiau, that he drew his
scalping knife, and gave cbree for a
long time, perhaps thinking to tire
the youngster out by constait dodg
ing. But in this plan he was mistak
en, fora resolute, hanhvorkirg front
ier boj' has a vast fund of eniurance.
Ouce the gleaming knife, tlrust be
tween the logs after him, enne near
doing Its bloody work ; but Jthu'agrit
wusaroused.and he struck tie brutal
hand a heavy blow with tie tomu
hawk handle
But the many I urns and tides, tricks
and dodges, of that fearful struggle
can never be related. Thereare some
scenes too tragical for words; besides,
tho particulars are covered under the
drifts of forgetfulness ever heaping
above the past.
Of course, during all that terrible
afternoon, John's thoughts snd eyes
were constantly turning in tbe direc
tion of his home. He knew that his
father would seek him before night,
and as the hours wore on, he began to
look with great anxiety for his com
ing, lie had tho common faith of all
children In parents, and felt that they
would not leave him to perish.
At length ho caught a diitant
glimpse of a form coming up tho path.
Oh, how his heart bounded !
With renewed force, lie began again
to hurl at his foe, everything he could
seize, raising such a commotion as to
attract his father's notice, who, com
prehending the whole Ecene at a
glance, stole up within gun shot of tho
unsuspecting red man.
The sequel Is soon told. The crack
of the settler's rifle signalled -the In
dian's fato.
The warrior's weapons and trinkets
were taken as trophies; the gun, hav-
inga bullet but no powder in its obain
ber, could not be fired, thus explain
ing why he did not shoot the lad
when he threatened to do so.
These are still treasured by the
grandchildren of our hero, who are
jUBtly proud of such an exploit. In
those early times, American boys were
trained In a Bohool that developed a
rugged and noble manhood.
If a girl was to practice for fifteen
years she could n6t fenrn to throw a
stone with grace and accuracy. Have
you ever wondered why It is so? Wo
have.
It wa's one of the first and most
knotty physiological problems which
presented itself to our youthful mind
why our big sister, when she tried
to throw a snow ball at us, almost in
variably sent it careering over the
top of the house, while we, in turn,
could pop her in tho ear about every
time. It may be that wo took a mean
advantage of this discrimination of
nature in our behalf and against our
sister, and it may be that we improv
ed the opportunity to rake her fore
and aft whenever she came within fir
ing distance. But that is neither here
nor there.
As time passed on, and wo increas
ed our stock of observation, wo saw
that other fellows' sisters labored un
der about the same disadvantages that
ours did in the matter of throwing
any sort of missile. As near as we
could generalize their modus operan
di of awkwardness for such we are
compelled to call It we found that
they swung the arm back over the
head with a vertical motion, as though
it were hung by a door hinge on the
top of the shoulder, or much as we
may imagine the old Roman catapult
operated when firing stones at the en
emy. When the arm had swung as far
as tho hinge would allow, it was
brought forward with the same verti
cal motion, and with as much mo
mentum as the thrower could raise,,
and, at somo undefined point in the
arc thus described, the hand let go the
missle. While executing this quick
movement, some girls give a little
feminine whoop, or, maybe, a half
whoop and a half squeal ; others did
not. Our sister jumped aud whooped
both ;"but then she was a bad throw
er. As we stated, at some undefined
point in the arc described by the for
ward motion of the arm, the missile
flew off. Sometimes it went up ;
sometimes it went down, and some
times It went sideways, but it never,
by any manner of means, hit the
thing it was intended to jump or no
jump whoop or no whoop.
Now, the point of difference be
tween a girl's throwing and a boy's
we found to be substantially this:
The boy crooked his elbow, and
reached baok with the upper part of
his arm at about right angles with his
body, and the forearm at an angle of
forty-five degrees; the direct act of
throwing was accomplished by bring
ing the arm back with a snap, like
the tail of a snake or a whip lash,
working every joint from shoulder to
wrist, and sometimes making your
elbow sing as though you had got a
whack on the crazy-bone. The girl
threw with her whole arm rigid; the
boy with his whole arm relaxed.
Why this markod and unmjstakoble
difference existed, we never learned
until, at a somewhat advonced period
we dove into a book on physiology,
and learned that the clavicle or collar
bone, in tho anatomy of a femole Is
some inches longer, and set some de
grees lower down, than in the mascu
line frame. This bone interferes with
the free action of the shoulder, and
thot'8 tho reason she can't throw. We
have developed o pet theory of our
own, however, that on all-wise and
beniflceut Providence, foreseeing that
there would be rolling-pins, stove
hooks, pot-lids, and hot water In the
world, set the women's clavicle down
a hitch or two for the safety of the
men. I'ts lucky for all of us that
women can't throw.

If there Is to be a new war, as Is so
confidently predicted, it must be com
menced in the North this time.
When It begins the South will calm
ly go ahead and raise more cotton and
sugar. Certain fortunate individuals
who are possessed of the money, will
perhaps buy some gold, or sell bonds
short. It will not be the South's af
fair. When for humanity's sake it
becomes necessary to end the strife,
the South will proceed to doit, and
then the horses of the Southern cav
alry corps will be watered in thegreat

"Whisky Is your greatest enemy,"

All babies born in the Oneida, N.

therefore, will ever know its own
