The return of Rhodes lo the city of Lin
coln rind the fact thnt his wife claimed to
bo the purchaser of the stock of goods in
thu Parsons failure of last fall has re
vived interest in that case , which is gain
ing much celebrity and proves to bo n
branch of a brncoof successful swindling
operations at thu hands of the Rhodes
biotncrs. When the wholesalers of Lin
coln nnd a number of Omaha houses , in
cluding McCord Hrady & Co. and the
Oarnati cracker company , fell upon this
Parsons slock of goods for their bills they
were confronted by a .Mrs. Rhodes , who
claimed to have purchased the goods. Jt
was thn llrst blockade In the way for Iheir
successful recovery and they took imme
diate stops lo uncover the whole schema
that Parsons had concocted , nnd they
put the case in Iho hands of Charles
Crow , Ihc detective , to work up and lind
the true state of affairs. Now , while
Crow may object to have publicity given
to his researches , the business men who
have backed the work believe that tlio
jiublio at largo should know
the history of tlio Parsons.
Rhodes combination and their work in
other places as well as the Lincoln ex
ploit. Crow's first work was to get a
photograph of Rhodes , whoso wife was
the alleged purchaser of the goods , so
that armed with that ho could make a
tour eastward and lind the history of the
man and former confederates , if any hail
existed. It took about a week of great
familiarity to secure this , but ho made it
mid set out for Columbus , O. , where ho
know Rhodes has lived heretofore. The
first thing that investigation showed
there beside the unearthing of numerous
bills that the Rhodes left unsettled when
they shook the dust olTtheir feet at thai
pluco , was that Parsons and Rhodes wcro
brothers , and that the 11:11110 : of Pardons
had been assumed at Lincoln , when in
reality ho was a brother , that his name
was Jacob Rhodes , and that they had
operated there as Rhodes Brothers. From
that point Crow ascertained that tlio
lather of tlio Rhodes boys lived
out a piece from Columbus in
that state , and his next visit was there ,
where he identified tlie elder Rhodes and
eat on the wood pile in Iho garb of a
tramp , gaming possession of facts upon
which to work. Shortly after ho again
visited the homestead , altogether dill'er-
cut in appearance , and that time lie was
a partner of Robert Rhodes nnd his ad vent
in the family was easily secured. Here
he found an excellent picture of Jacob
Rhodes , the Geo. ! ' . Parsons of this city ,
and ut Columbus ho secured a picture of
tlie third &on in the family. Armed with
these ho hud the positive identity of Pur-
KOUS as ono of the family , but to make
assurance doubly sure through certain
representations the following allidavit
was sr cured from the father of the family :

This affidavit nnd the photographs
of the three brothers are now in the
hands of attorneys in this city , and it may
Lo as well in further recitals to forever
bid farewell to the Parson's part of the
affair , referring to that slick individual
in his trun name of Jacob Rhodes. It
might bo in. order to add that tlio
whereabouts of thin particular brunch of
tlio family Is at the present time un
known , as It has been since he departed
from the corporate limits of the city of
Lincoln when lie loft his brother's wife
to complete the job put up on the 'whole
salers of tins vicinity. Detective Crow
prosecuted a vigorous search in that sec
tion of the country for "tho lost Charlie
Ross , " but without success. JIo saw at
Columbus child this
a five-year-old of
Jacob Rhodes that had been given to a
family there , but his search ended in thu
next of kin. At Wheeling and Detroit
lie reviewed in detail the operations of
lliesi ) parties in those cities. They o per
illed in Wheeling as Rhodes & Co , but.
in Detroit as A. L. Wright & Co. They
nkippcd those two cities much In tlie
Bamo way as the Parson's branch of the
family loft Lincoln. The following letter ,
furnished a wholesale linn in this city , is
historical and very interesting and is
written from Detroit :

Ono of tlie lady employes at the legis

jof the list of stationery , pencils , etc. ,
perfumery , face powder aud anything

out the Etaid and stoical sen

for endorsement calmly obliterated these

order by tins entrance of a woman who

to desist from selling liquor to members
of her family. Just what occurred in
the saloon at tlio lime of the visitation is
not particularized , but one thing was
done , and that was the visitor hurled a

How to Tjlvn a Full Century.
Professor Humphry , of Cambridge , has
prepared a series of tables which contain
some interesting information about cen
tenarians. Of fifty-two persons , whom
ho mentions , at least eleven two males
and nine females actually reached the
ago of 100 years. Only ono of the persons
reached 108 years , while ono died at the
allnged ago of 100. Of the fifty-two per
sons , thirty-six were woraon and sixteen
men. Professor Humphry tells us lhat
the comparative immumity of women
from the exposures and risks to which
men are subjected , and the greater tem
perance iu eating and drinking exhibited
by women are the chief points in de
termining their uigher chances of lon
gevity Out of the thirty-six women
twenty-six had boon married and eleven
had berne largo families. Of the twenty-
six who had been wives , eight had mar
ried before they were twenty , ono at
sixteen and two at seventeen. Twelve
of the fifty-two centenarians
wcro discovered , to have boon
tlic oldest children of their parents. This
fact , adds Dr. Humphry , does not ngreo
with popular notions that first children
inherit a feebleness of constitution , nor
with the opinion of racing stables , which
is decidedly against the idea that "first
lings" are to bo depended on for good
performances on the courso. The cen
tenarians generally regarded were ot
spare build. Gout and rheumatismworo ,
as a rule , absent. "It seems , " says Pro
fessor Humphry , "that the frame which
Is destined to great ago needs no such
prophylactics , and engenders none of the
peccant humors for which the finger
joints ( as in gout ) , may find a vent. " Of
the fifty-two aged people , twenty-four
only had no teeth , thu average number of
teeth remaining being four or five. Long
hours of sleep were notable among these
old people , the period of repose averag
ing ninu hours ; while out-of-door exer
cise in plenty and early rising are to bo
noted among the factors of a prolonged
life. Ono of the centenarians "drunk to
excess on festive occasions ; " another was
a "free beer drinker , " and "drank like a
fish during his whole life. " Twelve hud
been total abstainers for life or nearly so ,
and mostly all were "small meat eaters. "

PITCAIRN'S PAST AND PRESENT.
Story of Norfolk Island What Will
be tlio l < 'uturo ? lltorno For Laiul
ana Liabor Party's Atten
tive Study.
Every school boy knows the story of
ho mutiny on board the British man-of-
var , the Bounty ; how tlio men rebelled
igainst their commander , Captain llligh ,
low , bloodlctsly , the crow took posses
sion of the ship , and ( nit their captain
ind his officers in the long boat , with
irovisions and water , to seek land as
hey could. The ihutincers sailed to the
Society islands , wore well received by
the peaceful natives , and took unto them
selves wives of the daughters of the land
took thorn in some cases as the Romans
did tlio Sablno damsnls , which led to
complications with indignant relatives ,
n which a few of the English sailors
were killed. The remainder sailed away
with their partners to find some island
not likely to bo visited by British men-of-
war , where they could live in peace if
lot plenty. They came in time to the
onely rock of Pitcairn , rising from the
L'acilic , uninviting in aspect , not likely
.o tempt the capt ain of any stray vessel
to land. But the mutineers found there
sufficient shelter In the gorges , and soil
lertilo enough to raise food. Their ship
was burnt to avoid detection ; and when
thu disturbing element , the "grog , " was
all gene , they settled down happily , their
wants provided for by fish of tliu ocean
and fruits of the land. Tended by their
ircntlt ) wives , and with children born
[ into them , the whole nature of the mu
tineers aupears to have changed , or
theii original nature to have been ru-
btored. It is the only case on record , of
a return to tlio first principles of exist
ence oflecling such a result. The peace
ful inliticnce of their
I.OV1NO. INNOCENT TAII1TIAN AVIVP.S
had , I think , much to do with this , and
with the qualities inherent in their de
scendants. So for long years tlio Pitcairn -
cairn islanders lived an isolated exist
ence "the world forgetting ; by the world
forgot. " The mutiny of tlio Bounty had
passed into history aud story book when
the fact that Pitcairn island was in
habited was discovered by a passing ves
sel. The last of the mutineers was still
living , an old man , patriarch of the little
community. After this the island was
occasionally visited by men-of-war ; and
from time to time stray accounts of this
living romance appeareil in English
journals. Now blood was infused into
the settlement by a young white man
taking up his abode and casting his lot
with the islanders. George llunn Nobbs ,
an English youth , well-bred and edu
cated , was apprentice in a merchant ves
sel , when the spirit of romance urged him
to leave his shin and join this strange
community , beldom has an impulse
been followed by bettor results. Setting
an example of godly and righteous life ,
the now comer acted for years as pastor
and schoolmaster to his island neighbors.
Himself married by the chaplain of a
man-of-war which visited tlio place , ho
later on took the opportunity ot return
ing to England and was admitted into
the church that ho might render the pf-
ficer _ of religion to his fellows , and give
.spiritual sanction to the union of soxes.
hut population increased fistor : than
food ; tlio area of cultivation in the island
was barely sullieiont to maintain the
grandchildren of the mutineers ; and fam
ine was imminent.
NORFOLK ISLAND.
The Rev. George Munn Nobbs sent
pressing appeals to England. The ro
mance of the situation excited sympathy
there ; and the result was that in 1850 ,
when Norfolk island was abandoned as a
penal settlement , tiansportution to the
colonies having been discontinued , its
possession was transferred , as a free gift
from the crown , to the Pitcairn commun
ity. Over two hundred souls were ac
cordingly conveyed there in a govern
ment transport during that year. They
received not only the gift of tlio island ,
comprising fifteen square miles of land
capable oi tilltige.SOO acres of which were
cleared and fenced , and a largo tract of
noble pine forests , but also alithceighty-
ouo substantial buildings , including
chapel , schoolroom , hospital , barracks ,
prisons , dwelling houses , cottages , mills ,
and workshops. Added to these \yoro
furniture artisans' tools and
, , agricul
tural implements. The gardens were
stocked with seed , the fields with grain ,
and the farms with shuop , cattle , horses ,
pigs , and poultry. A truly royal gift this ;
and the islanders , nccustonicd in their
former homo to a hard lifo , must have
felt at first embarrassed witli the riches
in their new possession.
There cannot bo a greater contrast to
tlio peaceful island bcenery anil sur
roundings than these evidences of its
former occupants , unless it is tlic condi
tion of the present inhabitants. Having
done with tlic dead past wo wcro taken
round to bo introduced to the living pres
ent. Wo wore welcome everywhere ,
loaded with ( lowers and fruit , and
gorged with milk. I was introduced to
Christians , Youngs , Adamses , and Ouin-
tcls without end. They were a line , tall
race , loose limbod. olive tinted , with
dark eyes and black hair. There was a
tomi-tropical indolence in all their move
ments , and they spoke with the pocular
soft intonation which marked their T.i-
hitian blood. Race told in the want of
energy , and early associations in their
distaste for shoes. The men dressed in
simple pants and shirt.
T1IH LADIES IN LOOSE WHITE GOWNS
and straw hats adorned with wreaths of
natural llowors. They were flowers , too.
in bands around their necks , as in Tahiti
or Hawaii. Flowers blossomed every
where in Norfolk island. Some of the
ladies , however , affected the vanities of
city lifo in their head gear and clmussure.
Mora beautiful women I had seldom scon
in the world than these tailstately ladies ,
svelte , yet with a bewitching languor in
their dark eyes , and a temptation in their
cherry lips , that made Norfolk island a
dangerous place for a susceptible man to
visit. Children abounded in the streets ;
shy , lithe-limbed creatures , in whom as
yet there was no sign of deterioration ,
such as might have been expected through
continual intermarriage.
Civil , hospitable , courtcoun , with no
gaucherie or vulgarity , those people Had
a strange laok of curiosity as to what
wont on in the outer world. Like the
members of all small communities , they
imagined their local history was of ab
sorbing interest to tlio passing stranger.
Speak with a Quintcl or an Adums , ami
any allusion to the early history of the
Pitcairners , and the part their fathers
played is received as a high compliment.
The most marked characteristics of these
people are indolence and a practice of
the Christian virtues. The old Eve
breaks out occasionally , but any lapse
from the path of morality is generally
condoned by matrimony , The govern
ment Is patriarchal , the chief magistrate
being chosen yearly. All capital oll'ences
would bo sent to Sydney for trial if there
were any ; but , speaking broadly , crime
hero is absolutely unknown. There are
no public houses , aud I suuposo , since
the bad old convict davs , a drunken man
has boon unknown at Norfolk island , for
the crews of the whalers which rendezvous
hero urn not allowed ashore. The only
topics of general interest appeared to bo
the niovc.me.uU of Hi&hop Solwyn , tlio
price of whale oil.aud the uurforuiauce of
o local cricketers. J'us people have a

known a.s "revivals. ' A dangerous
schism had lately been introduced by a
Yankee , who brought In a new religion ,
which threatened to n utno serious
dimensions. The principal feature in
this was adult immersion wit'i a llavor of

Each couple on marrying receives twenty-
live acres of land , and materials to build
a house. Two or three aeres of this will
bo cultivated. The prolific soil readily
yields every kind of vegetable and fruit ,
from sweet potatoes to the most mar-
rowry of pees , and from bati.tnas lo
strawberries. Turkeys .fowls , and pigs
are al o reared , and stock is run on the
uncultivated acres and ou the land yet
unreserved for families. The inhabitants
raise everything they want for their own
needs , except in tlio matter of clothing
and tobacco ; and the fresh meat and
vegetables with which they supply
whalers or passing steamers furnish
enough money to procure their simple
raiment. Neither the ono storekeeper ,
nor the onu tailor , nor tlio one boot
maker is making a fortune. Occasionally
a vessel from Sow Caledonia will take a
cargo of live c.itllo. In whaling , too ,
which is a co-operative industry , consid
erable money is made But a Norfolk
islander wants little beyond tlio necessi
ties of life , which he raises in such abun
dance ou his own little farm. At present
this system works very well , but when
the rising generation grows up , all thu
available land will be disposed of , and
some outlet will be needed for the sur
plus population , now over four hundred ,
and rapidly increasing. Some of the
young men nave gene as sailors in whal-
iig ) ships , and capital hands they make ;
but , as a rule , the islander has no ambi

ho leads there. And who can blame

Edgcrton , Kan. , Jan , 11 , iSSO.
I wasafllicted with rhei.matism for eight
years , and it had become chronic in Its
worst form , and after using out bottle of
Atliloplioros I have not Tell any symptom
of it for six months. It done more than
that ; my wife was atllutcd with neuralgia
for twelve yearn , had an attack every mouth.
Aflcrtakint ; one bottle , six mouths ago , has
only felt once or twice since ,

Mrs , Thos McCuc. Sanford , Itlock , corner
8'h and Main street * , Dububuc , Iowa , fays :
"I am still well , Last winter was n very
severe and cold one for me , but I did not
have any return of the rheumatism. Alhlo *
phoros has prmcn n gotxl inediciiu for me. "
Aboul a year ago M's. McCuc had a very
cvere attack ol imuitlamatory rheumatism
n which Ihe feet and hands were \ cry much
swollen , so much thnt you could scarcely sec
one of the ankles , nnd some of the. toe nails
were complc'cly covered for many weeks ,
3he had suffered almost the agonies of death.
Mnnlly , after rcsortine to various remedies
with no avail , her husband noticed the ad *
vcrlisn cut of Atldophoroi , The result of its
isc was miraculous ; Iho swelling was soon
reduced , the pain subdued , nnd she vas
again up and around and has not been
.ronbled since ,
Every druggist should kcrp Athlopho-
ros aud Atliloplioros Pills , but whore
