A Mysterious
National Associated Press
DALLAS , Tex. , April 17. An ex
ceedingly mysterious case ot abduction
has just come to light. Rev. Mr.
Huglies , pastor of the Lamar street
church of this city , has a son-in-law
by the name of Oliver , wbo some time
ago had occasion to visit Nashville ,
Tenn. While in an unfrequented por-
on of the city at a late hour he was
; uddonly seized from behind , gagged
and spirited away. When ho awoke
" next morning ho was in a scow rapidly
"descending the Cumberland river.
Abandoninn the river his mysterious
captors cut across the country , travel
ing in u covered wagon through Ar
kansas and Indian Territory- into
New Mexico , all the time having no
communication with Hho prisoner.
When' a short distance from .Albu
querque , Now Mexico , a halt _ was
ordered and consultation had witjbtwo
other parties who joined the travelers.
The prisoner was asked . many ques
tions as to persons and things of whom
he know nothing and being confronted
by the two last mentioned men after
careful scrutiny they exclaimed :
"Ho ain't the man , boys ? Let him
go ! " Oliver was then directed to go
in a certain direction , whore ho would
find a wagon bound for Albuquerque ,
to ask no questions , but get in the
sa.-j.io. Ho obeyed , arriving in Albu
querque , whither ho telegraphed his
whereabouts and for money to his
father-in-law. Mr. Hughes promptly
gent the amount required , cautioniuj
the telegraph oilicials , to closely question
tion the recipient , giving them a clue
which would not fail to rovcal the
right man in duo time. Mr. Oliver
arrived in this city , after having boon
mourned as dead by his friends. The
only explanation of the mysterious
abduction is Oliver was taken for
detective Overton , operating in Ton <
CC ;
nessoooigainst several bands of out'
laws and misled by the eimiliarity in CC
name those desperate men had carried CCSi
him into New Mexico with the inton Sim
Lion of putting an end to his Hfo m

THJ3 OUINKSB PENAL CODE.
Tno Crinio nnd\Puulshlnff of a Colos-
tlal Colonel.
Clilnn Vail.
The Penal Code of China , consider
ed in comparison with the laws which
are supposed to kcopin subjection the
refractory elements of Western na-
ions , has bcou characterized as bar
baric ' and cruel , nnd , taken as n whole ,
't undoubtedly is ; the moro so be
cause legalized torture is a dangerous
weapon to put it the hands of an un
scrupulous Mandarin , who , in these
days of rank purchase , may have
started life as a coolie , or may bo the
prolligato son of a purso-proud mer
chant. But , on the other handmany
cases , moro especially criminal ones ,
occur in which the punishment is a
thousand I fold lighter than that which
would fall upon n like offender in the
western i world. This may bo n fault ;
the | humanitarian world would re
joice je j over it , the legal luminaries
shako their wise heads ; butif , for cen
turies this leniency of punishment for
certain classes of ollbnso has not tend
ed to the increase of crime , and has
been found sufficient for n. nation
whoso disposition is moro passionate
and more .easily worked upon than
that of the phlegmatic inhabitants of
the west , perhaps after all the human
itarians would bo right and the legal
luminaries ' wrong.
A case appeared in a' recent Poking
Gazette which exhibits the curious
workinc of Chinese law. A Brevet
Colonel , who had suspicions on to his
wife's \ fidelity , finally discovered her
and a servant in ilagranto dolicto.
Ho immediately stabbed them both to
death. In doing this ho was justified
by law and not liable to the slightest
punishment. The Colonel should in
the , next place have communicated.tho
ifluir to the local authorities , but a
trery natural regard for his own repu N
tation and for that of his family have
kept him back , and.ho . quietly buried
Ji bodies out of the way. The mater - ra
or became known .and hp governor
f Anhui .referred to Peking for in-
itruQtions , The prisoner , oays the
nomorialist , iu , absolved from punish- Nl
nont for killing his wife and her , pur-
imour , but la liable to thq infliction of
iighty blows for jiot reporting'the ' af-
'air. Iu the meanwhile , however , an >
mporial proclamation of grace was is- it
med , so that oven the eighty blows
iould not bo given , That governor
ibjects to hia man camping in this '
iiannor , and naively writes : "Hero
an official of the third rank , who is is
tot able to regulate his own house-
lold in a proper way , and cannot prp-
ont hia 'curtains from becoming thin
nd : in need of repair ; ' surely there
nust bo something wrong. His ir-
ogular conduct in not reporting the
natter is airovidonco of reckless do-
oit , and ho should not be dealt with
any ordinary Board of Punishment
the usual way , but it seems rather
ard that the Colonel should not bellowed
llowod the full benefit of the leniency
the law and of the proclamation of
race just because ho happens to bo a ' .
igh , official. The case is certainly in-
tructivo. The virtuously indignant
usband at homo would have to think !
wico before jabbing a knife into hia i
otterhalf , and her friend. Ho must
before the Divorce Court , and have
lie minutest details of his domestic
fo hold up to the gloating guzo of a
vandal-loving public. How much ho
ould prefer to bury the bodies and

Horses Without Shoos.
A Connecticut correspondent of
'ho Now York Herald writes : Over
iroo ; years ago articles appeared in
'ho : Boston Journal and several other
apera advising the working of horses
ithout shoos , and at the same time
iving the experience of several per
ms who had used them without shoes
ith complete success. I was so im-
rosBcd with the statements and the
iccess of the experiments that I was
iducod to have the shoos of ono of
horses taken off. I turned him
ill to pasture for about it month and
ion put him to work , lightly at first ,
id , I must confess , with fear and
ombling ; but after a trial I was so
Icaaod with the result that I took
ahocs oil'my other two horses and
have worked them without ahoes
for since , now about throe yean. I
id they work bettor , moro sure-foot-
, ' and far loss liable to lameness
tan when shod , and I am well satis-
ad that horses' feet as nature made
tein are all sufficient for ordinary
ork. After my long experience I
iould now aa soon think of going to
farrio myself to be shod as to send
horses for that purpose. What
irprised me most was that ono of my
oraes was continually falling lame ,
id we never could discover the cause ,
ut ainoo aha has been working with-
shooa the has never shown the
last symptoms of lameness and never
tumbled , which aho did very much
rhon shod , from which I infer that
lie paring the solos when shooing
lade her feet very tender and waa the
auae of all the trouble. Our roads
rough , hilly , and atony , and much
lore so than the average roads , BO
liat my success cannot bo attributed
superiority m this respect. Eques-
rains would find it far safer to use
oruos without shoes , as the solo bo-
omos so hard as to be non-sensitive
small atones and the animals are
lius far less liable to stumble. To
royent the hoofs from chipping tlio
DOS should be kept slightly rounded
a coarse file , such as is uaed by
arriers , and as the feet should always
