Mr. L , C. Burr , counsel for Christian ( r. llorold , who was convicted at the pres ent term of trying to defraud his credit ors , apueured ueforo Judge Pound yester day morning , and presented a petition asking that the sentence bo reduced froup live to one ynar. The paper was signed by District Attorney Strodu.Dcputy 1'roso ] enter Steams , Allen Field , and ninn > oilier prominent gentlemen , and Mr Uurr , in handing it lo the court , took oc casion to say that ho thought oven the Dross endorsed the application. Judge Pound ( .aid that under ordinary circum Ntunces ho would not consider that live years win an excessive sentence. It was not considered too much for a man who slolo a horse , and it could hardly be re garded as too in ueh for a man who stolen a largo amount of ' " " " ' jiiryjmd foun , y , . - . , , , ty with § 15,000 in goods , and lie had hllcged that ho hail given Dr. Dogge $10,000. Tlio jury that tried Dr. Dogge , however , by aemititting him virtually said that llorold had not done so. From these facts Judge Pound thought he would bo justified incducingtlioseutenco to two years but hecuuld not go bnlow that , and must have the prisoner before him when it was done , llorold is now at the county jail being treated by Dr. Perry for pulmonary catarrh , a disease which the doctor says will bo made wome by close coldinomont. Dr. Perry's certifi cate to this clVect was presented to Hie court , and doubtless had weight in secur ing a reduction of the sentence. A ItKJUNISCKNCE OF THE WAK. One of the hottest battles fought dur ing the war of the rebellion was at Franklin , Tunn. , on the 80th of Novem ber , 1801 , and one of the ehict parlici pants in it was Major N. G. Franklin of this city , who was then on the stall of General Kimball commanding the First division of the Fourth corps. Just before the baltlo began General Kimball and his stud' took up quarters in the house of a gentleman named MoKwon , by whom tnoy were very hospitably entertained. A low days ago Major franklin came across a paragraph in a paper which re called the event to his mind , and he wrote to a gentleman at Franklin inquir ing whether IWoKwon was still alive , and what ho was doing. The answer came yostoidayin the sliapo of a letter from McEwcu himself expressing pleasure at the unexpected renewal of acquaintance und detailing at great length the inci' dents of that memorable day , ncarlj twenty-two years ago. Mr. MoEwcn says that at ( Ml years ho is halo and hearty , ami his family , with'tho exception of tlic death of one daughter , is the same thai it was on the night of the battle when "wo all took to the collar to escape the bullets which were living about anil through the house. " Ho recalls as a distinctive evidence ol General Kimball's kindness , that ho nol only instated on paying $5 for his day's board , but made every member of hit stall' , sumo fourteen olilcors in all , dc likewise. "While I was taking tldf money , writes Mr. McEwen , "your horses wore tied at thu back of the house undei some cedar trees , and were pawing ovei the very spot where at your coming J had hastily burled $2,700 in gold. Alloi you had gone It did not take mo long tc get out and smooth the spot over &o il would not be noticed. " These , and othoi interesting reminiscences , such as the hunt at a neighbor's for a drink for UK thirsty general , and the hitter's placinjj guards about to protect the property , make up a letter of which Major ! rank lin is justly proud , and which will bo t valuable addition to the iinollicial record of the late unpleasantness in the south' ' west.

Toledo Hlado : A citizen who is always interested in sanitary matters took occa sion to give tlio reporter an idea or two concerning the value of rats. Ho said : "I hud rather have half 11 dozen rats about my store than an enliro corps of scavengers. The little follows often play the devil with sugar barrels and cracker boxes , but they also pick up every bit of garbage and vermin that lies around They scour the streets and back yards , the sew ers , and the nooks and corners where man can't got , and gather up the refuse. Anything that is eatable , thrown out on the streets or into yards , becomes , under process of decomposition disease-pro- dneing substances. Our friends the rats , stop in , clear it away , dispose of it , nntl what might have produced fevers , small pox or cholera , disappears through the agency of the rats. " ( inly the other day I waf watching onoof these little follows. Ho came out from tlio basement in tlio rear of the store , stoppsd for a nnduto and blinked at mo , and then made straight for a half- eaten npplo that was lying in the alley. When he had roaohrtd thoapploho looked around again to see if I would object , soi/.cd it in his teeth , and hopped back to his homo through the grating , his file- shaped tail making an elliptical curve in the air as ho disappeared. Now that rat can bo scon nearly ovcry day hunt ing around in the alley for u morsel , uml ho keeps the ground clear of vermin of all kinds. Ho has two or thrco brothers or slslors who help him and the family do thorough work. Occa > Hlonally they visit the store andgnawinlc a barrel of sugar , but I can stand that , sc long as they run the scavenger business as successfully as they now aro. No , sir , give mo the rats and ono good cat to ual up the increase , and I will not bo afraid of catching typhoid fever or ether diseases oases from decaying matter or refiiho The rat is a useful member of society and ho Mtoulil bo made to feel at homo not mortified to death by street gamins who Und sport in teasing him.

Lampasas Jake Takes too Saloon for a Field , Where , Being llnntlywith Ills Gun , Ho Oftfiii Ilrlnja Men to Repent * ancc by Main Strength A Imriat In School. Lampasas Jake , the cowboy revivalist who has had such wonderful success among the people of this section writes the Now York Sun correspondent from I'arnUngton , New Mexico is a , tall , loose- jointed fellow , with a full beard covering sunken checks , a big mouth , a high'torc- head , and a votco that might be heard a mile if the wind was right. His mode of operations is as singular as Ids whole appearance pearanco is odd and grotesque. Without education , having an imperfect knowl edge of the Hiblc , mid holding to a great many views which would hardly bo ap proved by theologians , he is nevertheless in dead earnest , and ho exercises a power over the men of the plains which is some thing rpmarkablc. Ho is entirely Ignor ant of the uxislencu of other revivalists , has never seen nor heard ot Moody or Jones , and was never in regular church in his life. How Lampasas Jake came to take up the gospel work is , perhaps , best de scribed in Ins own words : "i never had no education/gentlenieii , butlifteen years ago 1 heard u man preach in Santa re on the plav.a. At lirst 1 thought I 'd just bust up the meeting , but after a little I made up my mind to listen. The gospeller put it down straight , and when he got through he distributed some little Bibles in the crowd. I never had no use for a Itiblc , but I took it aud carried it about with me for years , never opening it. One day last winter when I was oil'on the range and didn't have nothing' to do I just pulled out the book. Although I never was much at reading 1 just began to spell her out , and the first thing I knew 1 was getting the hang of it. It took hold ol mo powerful. 1 road again and again. One night as I was sleeping 1 had u dream. I thought I was lying out on the range in my blankets with a cold rain boating on mo. Everything was still. Pretty soon a feller in white leaned over mo and 1 opened my eyes. " "This is a dog's life you are leading , ' he says , 'and it's a dog's death that you and tlio boys are going to die. Will you come up out of it. or will you keep on ? ' I was scared , but I says : "Come up where ? " " 'Up out of this sin and wickedness , " says ho , 'Every man has a call once. This is yours. ' "I rose up , and was about to say some thing further to the stranger when I no ticed that nobody was there , and then cussing myself for dreaming , I went to sleep again. The next day and for n month after that , I kept thinking about the call. 'That was a mighty strange tiling , ' says 1 to myself. ' Somebody has gotlLampasas Jack on the string.LThoro's sperrits after me. 1 got a little shaky , but after awhile I remembered that 1 once had a mother I had nbQUt to- gotjorj it-aiid au. myself , If any. uoiiyis bothering themselves about mo I know who it is. That call meant business , if it wan'I ' my mother , it was somebody that she sent. ' "When I had made up my mind to that 1 felt easier , and gradually Igot reckless again and thouglu little about it. One night early last spring I had another dream. I thought 1 was in hell. A big devil opened the lid and wanted lo know if I wanted to see anybody in particular. Isaid : 'Yes ; Texas Billings and Heddy Jones. ' Ho took a lariat a d gave it a vvlii// , and a moment later ho hauled them up. Just as they came out they be gan to abuse mo for not telling them what f had hoard and seen , and Ueddy reached for his cun and groaned when he found that ho didn'thavo it. Thonext morning I was in a terrible frame of mind , and after trying to think of every thing else and failing , I sank on thu ground and cried out to the Lord to for- ivo mo. 1 howled for moro'n an hour § eforc il came to me , but it did come , and I began to preach right there. 1 got the boys together and I gave it to them. First they laughed. Then they got mad. Then I licked two of them. Then Igot them down on their knees and I made every one of them howl just I had. I've been preaching almost a year , and I never had u better meeting than that same. I brought the whole camp in , and the boys have stuck to it over since and so have I. That range is one of the quietest and best in the territory now , and not a man has been shot there since 1 took hold " Jake preaches nothing but repentance and salvation. Ho lives oil'tho uountry. he says. Ho takes up few collections and he asks few favors. Ho goes well nnv.Su and never lays aside Ids wessons , even when preaching , lie has lights frequent ly , and ho sometimes brings men to re- V'untnncahy main strength , Wherever ho finds three or fourcowboys , gamblers , rustlers , or adventurers , ho be-in's his services. "I'm going to speak to you fellers about your everlasting souls , " he will say"and while I am at it I want you to keep quiet. This is a free country and every man has got a right to have his say. I'm going to have mine now. " If anybody manifested a disposition to deny this right Jake becomes a militant at once , and as ho has the reputation of being ouo of the quickest men the territory ho usually carries his point. Going into one of the hardest of the numerous hard saloons in this place the other night Jake mounted a chair and commanded silence. The games and the drinking came to an end and about twen ty men , young and old , looked in , Ono follow undertook to cdgo out , but Jake stopped him , "No don't mister " lie said you , , , point ing his linger nl him. "No you don't. When you get to hell you'll have chances enough to como a sneak on somebody , but you can't do it hero. " Then , straightening himself up , ho yelled in a voice that made things creak : "How many of you's ready to die now with your boots on ? Whoro'd you be to breakfast ? Don't any of yon drunken , swearing , fighting , blaspheming , gamb ling , thieving , tin-horn , coll'm-paint ex terminating galoots look at mo ugly , because - cause I know yo , I've ' boon through the drive. You're all in your sins. You Ihow a fat , well-fed , woll-carcd-for , thor oughly branded steer when you see one. and you can tell whoso it is and where it belongs , There's a man that owns it. There's a place for it to go. There's a law to protect it. Hut the Maverick who's is that ? You're all Mavericks and worse. The Maverick has no brand on him. Ho goes hollering about until some body takes him in and claps the brand ing iron on him. Hut you whelps you've got the do\il's brand on you. You've got his lariat about you. Ho lots yon nave rope now. but ho'll ' haul you in when ho wants lire wood. " "Thorn ain't no sheep herders on these ranges that can como around mo putting on nny airs. I've been on the drive in Texas. I've honied in the Panhandle. I've been city marshal in Lampasas. 1'vo followed the herds from the Canadian to Las Animus and i never yet see a bunoh of cuttlo { hat wan't of more account than you. You brand your sheep with a brush and a kettle of red or black paint. How will you feet when the devil in hell daubs you with red paint from top to too and tlien changes his inind and paints you black f On , you'll gut tupre. . . Borne of you can fuel the lariat now"and all you old whisky.tulis hero now can smell the firo. I'll bbt y6ti live dollars you're scared. I'll bet yon ton dollars you'd glvo something now to know that you wouldn't get cooked. I'll bet you a hun dred dollars 1 can lell you how to escape. "Just you gel.dowu on your knees hero now and yell. That's right : all of you down. Won't do it , eh ? Well , you will get down. That's right. Now you yell. Cry out for help llko n Texas steer in snow belly deep. That ain't a marker ! Moro on 't ! Moro on 'It That's some thing likel There' * tlio devil's drive and the Lord's trad. There's the range of hell , where the trrnss is brimstone and the water is lire , and the range of heaven , where the grass is knee deep and sweet with posies , and the water Is clcar'as the sky. There's the Lord for the boss , with his everlasting arms reaching out for all us poor Mavericks , for the nungry and thirsty , for the beef critter thct's only a slmdder , for the wco lamb and the crip pled old buck. Hut you've got to bleat. There's the dovll wlm Ids yoke and lariat , with his fork and his spit , with his cruel laugh , and his legions of lioUions anxious lo como a sneak on you. Which is it , you miserable sinners ? Is it devils or angels ? "Keep down there , every one of you. till L get through. I know what you will say when you go out ot hero. You'll say Jack Is tcchcd. You dasscnt say It now. You'll say that the good Lord don't care for us. Yo dassent say it now. You ' 11 yelp out something about religion being all right In the states. You dassent yelp now. You're a nice lot of rufllans , ain't you ? You'd look nice gallivanting around in heaven , wouldn't you ? Wouldn't hell itself turn pale If It saw you coming ? You know it would. Hut , bless the Lord , there is a way for you to put on rlghteouncss. You can got your self in condition. You can make your hides sliok. Thcro is the grass of salva tion that Is green all tlio year round. You can eat of it , and you'll make ilesli from the word co. You can refuse it , and you'll grow poor and miserable till old hides will Hap on your bones like a bed quilt on a ridge polo. " When Jake passed out the drinking and gambling were resumed , but with less boistcrousness. Ho has followers , and ho promises to stay by the boys until they all como into the fold. * A BIG DIAMOND DISCOVERY. The Luck of n Tramp A Oooil Story Told by Himself. Detroit Free Press : Ono day , after 1 had been hanging around Chicago for several weeks us a gentleman of leisure , a policeman ran mo in as a vagrant. Next morning the judge hoard my story , and asked : "Aro you a good traveler ? " "Splendid. " "Do you want to travel ? " "Ido. " "Then you shall liuvo an opportunity. " I had heard a good deal about Detroit and its kindness to tramps , and when I left Chicago I headed for the east. Before gelling clear of Ihb city I stele a copy of a morning paper oil'a door-slop , and , aflor a walk of Hires hours , I sat down lo post myself , v Sonio tramps don't care for the news of thivduy , but I have always felt it to be my duty to look over the dailies whenever I had a chance , and to read every llnrf of them , from congres sional proceedings to advertisement * , It so happened tlmt one of the first things 1"vitia paper to'attrnot ' my altontiou wis the following : " > ' Three thousand dollars reward : Lost , the IDth inst. , from tlio window of a coach on the Michigan Central , west of Pull man , a reticule containing diamonds. The Under will receive the above reward. Communicate withiA. B. , Uoom 113 , Pal mer house , Chicago. " This was the 18th. Five days had elapsed since the loss , and it was probable that a do/.cn people had been sent to scarcnjjvor every.rod of the track. I hud no more idea of lindingtliat treasure than you have of flying , but as 1 continued my way up the track 1 kept my eyes pcoied. I put in live miles of walking and then aat down to rest again. It was midsum mer and my old boots distressed my feet. I came lo a sprt where a small creek was crossed by the tracks , and I followed it down to the fence to find a place to wash my foot. Just at the tonco was a deep hole and a shady spot , and 1 tell you it did my old feet good to sit there and paddle the soft and cooling waters. I had been there twenty miuutss when a bird How down on the fence nntl hopped from that to a stick of driftwood to secure a drink. I was sitling as slifl'as a slone , not wanting to alarm him , when all of a sudden my eye fell upon the lost lady's reticule. It was jammed among a lot of light drift wood held against the fonco. 1 wasn't hall a minute getting possession of it. The bag was provided witli a lock , and I out with niykiiifo and cut a hole in it. Out fell the diamonds rings , pins , brace lets , studs and a gold watch sot with the Hashing stones. I could hohj all i \ bno hand , and Jerusha ! but V.n't the s'toncs sparkle , nnd i' . ' , , , aa , Hhimmcr , and Ijrmo ; Siy heart up in my throat , I sat there for ton minutes without daring to move , for fear those sparklers would sud denly disappear , but by and by my nerve came back and I made up my mind what to do. I had never a thought of appro- prialing the jewels to my own use , but was in a hurry to return to Chicago. I wrapped tlio reticule up in Hie paper , put the diamonds in my pocket , and at 0 o'clock that night I was in front of the Palmer house. I was about to enter when a hand was laid on my shoulder and a gruff voice called out : "Now , then , what are you trying to getaway away with ? " It was a policeman , and ho had .spotted me for a thief. "I am carrying a parcel to a gentleman in here , " I replied. "O , yon are ! Who might ho bo ? " "His name is Brown. " "O , it is ! Como along , my line fol low. " "His name is Brown , and Ids room is 113. Come in with nip. If 1 have lied to you you can take mo in , " Ho hesitated for a moment and then entered the hotel with me. As wo reached the desk ho asked of the clerk : "Docs a Mr. Brown occupy Room 112 ? " ' No , sir , " watf thb reply. "Now , you ' raical , como along , " growled the oillecr s ho seized my arm. "It's the . H who A. of room 113 losttlio diamonds ! " I tJhotitdd to the clerK as I was being dragged away. "Hero , wait ! What do yon know of thu diamonds ? " i "Hero's tlio reticule , sir , and I have the jewels in my pockoti I found them along the railroad track , "i Well , you ought t9 sco how mad that policeman was , and bow glad A. B , was , and how tickled I was when $3,000 was counted into my hand , I went out of tlio tramping business and started u shop , but nl the end of two years was cleaned out by the hard times and had to go back to Foot & Walker's line again. I'm ' there yet , and if this bit of adventure , scribbled on"in u tramp's lodging on a rainy after noon , is worthy of publication , give it a place. The 10-year-old son ot U'ilson DoWcsso , of Sidney , Ohio , was attacked last week by a stray hog that ho attempted to drive out of tlio yard. The boy was badly bit ten on the arms and legs , and when his mother and others came to his relief the hog turned upon thorn and also succeeded in getting ut the boy again. Thu boy was not dangerously hurt , but Ids Inju ries were qmto serious , aim ho was terri bly frightened by the attack of the infuri ated animals. WEARY V.
