Tlio record furnished of the prisoner states that ho is a man sixty years of age , sent to the to the penitentiary for muruor ; that his business was in the mercantile line and that he had a family and relatives in Texas. The record showed that ho belonged - longed to no church , that ho was n dem ocrat and was at one time a soldier in the confederate army. Tim IRISH LKAOUn MKETIXO.

No man gives moro attention to the details of his business than Morris. Lot mo tell you a story to point n moral. Morris has a large buttcriuo factory in connection with his packing house. Ono day , when luoviuc about the place , ho discovered a bit of grceso on the lloor about as largo as a walnut. Ho called the foreman and a number of the workmen. "Hoys , " ho said pointing to the lump of tallow , "boys , what do you call that ? " No ono ventured a reply. "That's wastol" ho went on , in his icciiliarly shrill falsetto voice ; "that ; ind of business costs mo thousands of lollars a year ! 1 don't want to sec It round l.brli any morel I can't stand U" U"Morris Morris employs upward of fifteen htm- Ired men , and as a rule he deals with ; hein generously , and they regard him with favor in return. Morris once said , n mo during a big strike , when his cm- > loyo3 had gene out : " 1 have many men n my employ who went out on this strike , but who can come hick to work when- ver they wish to do so , and stay as long is they like ; 1 will never discharge them. " Another time ono of the men unit with in accident on the sidewalks of the city vhich broke his leg and incapacitated uini for work for many weeks. Morris lirccted that the man bo given proper jiu'dical care , and that the doctors bill bo sent to him.

Some of the exaggerative , superstitious and of people have reckoned tlio wealth > f "Nols" Morris at $15.000,000 , but it is 'ar less than that. Yet ho is rich enough o smoke belle'4 clears than ho does. One day ho was called on L < y a couple of news paper men in search of news. Morris is always guarded and reticent to reporters , lint ho never fails to oiler them cigars , which ho produces by some sort of 'haumaturgy trom an inner pocket , us if ho weeds had been selected with a view to his own lisp. On this occasion the prof- crcd cigars wera wrapped in tin toil and resembled 50 centers.

Chopping Off IloadH of Criminals at the Unto of Ton a Mmutc. How do you use this sword ? Where is the block ? " "Wo don't use a block. What we do is to make the prisoners kneel down in two rows facing ono another , and bending their heads down. Then 1 take the sword and chop , chop , ono on each side , and the heads fall oil' ; so on , till thoy'rp nil done , as you'd switch the tops oil'green weeds with your walking slick. " "But you don't always chop a head oQ with ono blow ? " "Always. " "What is the knife for ? " "For the ling cho , or death by many cuts. Wo tie the culprit who is con demned to this death to that cross there ( pointing to two rough unbarked sticks roughly crossed ) , and wo begin by cut ting oft' the eyelids , cars , nose and so on , ending by sticking the knife into his heart. The cuts vary in number from eight to 120 , according to the hoiuousncss of the culprit's crime. " "What class of criminals nro condemned domned to the ling oho ? " "Parricides , matricides and women Who have killed and mutilated their hus bands form the majority. " "Do the executions interfere with your appetite and sleep ? " The three oxociitioncors grinned sar donically at this question , so wo asked : "How many persons have you executed in a day ? " "I have chopped twenty heads off my self in two minutes. See that dark look ing place on the ground over there that's caused by tlio blood of the last batch wo had. " "What is done with the bodies ? " "Tho friends take the bodies away , but we keep the heads in the crooks over by the wall there , and when wo have a largo number which are no longer recogniz able wo bury them. Would you like to see some of the heads ? " Wo declined , and ono of my com panions began to grow pale and com plain of not feeling well , so wo ordered the guideto lead us away. "Gentlomou. give twenty cents each , oumshaw , to the executioners , " said the guide , which wo gladly did to escape , from the staring ot the "boss" butcher's swivel eye ; and so ended our interview with those high executioners of the great Chinse empire. Tlio Wlilstlo Must Go. Baltimore American : The steam whistle as it exists to-day as an adjunct to manu factories in largo cities is an unmitigated nuisance. Four times daily its shriek is sent forth to the intinito annoyance , dis comfort and often injury of these who are located In its immediate vicinity. It servos no valid purposu any moro than do the church bells. It cannot do the duty of summoning to labor , lor in the largo number that blow forth their dis cordant notes together no particular ono can bo recognized by tlio oar. It is not needed for any such purpose in our cities ; for , turn us wo may , at every few stops there will bo encountered a clock point ing out the hour , and within a factory building a cloott or a gong would servo every end that the steam whistle can ac complish. To these who are obliged to live In closts proximity to these howling , screeching instruments , they become a terror , and in the summer season , when doors and windows are of necessity kept open the major part of the day , tlio nuisance Is greatly Increased.

The Charming Scenery Surrounding the Peak Which Bears the Martyr's Name. THE HOME OF HIS CHILDREN. Two Bans \Vho Inherit Some of the Characteristics of Their Fnthnt Haw They Mve Interest ing Itomlnlsccnccs. PASADENA , Cal. [ Correspondence Now York Commercial Advortiser.J Tlio first peak of the lofty Sierra Madres , be ginning at tbc Arroyo Seea canon , oppo site Pasadena , has been named after John Urown , and is Known as Brown's peak. About its base overlooking the San Gabriel valley , arc the houses of his sons and their descendants , who , to the number of thirteen , have made their homes hero. The selection of this site shows the inherent love for the moun tains possessed by these people. A moro charming spot it would bo dlllicult to find in nil southern California. The Sierra Madra range is perhaps ono of the most impenetrable mountain systems in the country , consisting of several paral lel ranges forty or lifty miles wldo , and forming n pcrfoct maze of canons and deep gulches , leading in every possible direction. The winter rains nave made them , and at intervals of a few miles all along the range these dry rivers or arroyos - reyes open into the San Gabriel valley. At the base of Brown's peak there are three of these canons : the Arroyos Scca , Millard and Negro , which , in their course , surround a plateau cxtenilin < r down from the peak and leaving it isolated and alono' readied only by riding down into the dee ) ) canon and descending the ether side , up which a carriage trail creeps. This region , high above the valley , and remarkable for its dryness , is Las Cacitas. laid out as a park of homes , and abounding in some of the most charming scenery to be found in the entire range. From it the upper range is reached by a series of hills , and upon the second ridgu Owen and Jason Brown have selected their homes. Their house is plain and simple , but as I stood in the doorway it occurred to me that they had something whioh no pal ace in tliis country or Europe possesaed , their incomparable view. From the mountain side you look down hundreds of feet into the green abyss of Nego canon , while beyond rise the slopes of the Sierras to an altitude of 5,000 feet. A turn of the head , and the garden spot of the San Gabriel valley is beneath you ; groves of oranges , olives , eucalyptus , banana , apple , peach , cherry , and every sub-tropical and temperate tree ; fields of waving gram nnd bro.id mesas carpeted \vith wild flowers. Beyond Pasadena rise the Mission and Pucnto hills , and in their midst lies a small laguna whore the wild ducks live. Beyond airain. thirty miles or more , is the blue Pacific , with the islands of Santa Catalina plainly vis ible , while the vessels at anchor in Wil mington harbor can bo counted so clear is thu air. THE IIOXIK9 OF THE UUOWXS. Amid such scenes the Brown brothers livo. Upon these mountain slopes they intend to pass their days in peace and quiet. For two years they had been liv ing upon the plateau of Las Cacitas , but recently thev sold a part of their ranch and moved further up the range. A singular series of disasters has be fallen these two old men. Owen was disabled some years ago by being dragged for several miles by a runaway hor&e , and Jason has been repeatedly burned out in the middle states , so that at present they are in reduced circum stances. When they moved into their mountain homo some good friends on the mountain slopes conceived thu idea of giving them a house warming , which resulted in turnishing the new home in a modest way. Thirteen members of the Brown family live within rillo-shot of Las Cacitas. They are Owen and Jason Brown , the two sons , Mrs. Uuth Brown Thompson , her husband , Henry Thompson , and , near by , two daughters and their fami- lies. Henry Thompson was with Cap tain John JJrown in many of his trips , nnd was wounded in the battle of Black Jacit , in the early Kansas troubles. Jason and Owen have been through nil- ventures enough to make their hair much whiter than it is. On. more than ono occasion Jason Urown was taken out to bo hung or shot , and the last time when ho bared his breast to the ritles of the border rulllans , and told them to aim at his heart , his coolness and bravery alone saved his life. THE mtow.N's rnii-osoviiv. One cannot converse with these men five minutes without seeing that the mantle of thn father has fallen upon the sons. Their ideas of what justice should bo are singular to the average man , for the simple reason that they are utterly at variance with justice as wo meet it every dav. A few examples of their phJo lophy will show their character. They do not consider it right to take interest on money loaned. Some time ago , when some friends raised some money to buy them a cow nnd the cheek was presented , they protested that there * were others who needed it moro , and it waa their earnest desire that the money should bo sent to the colored sufferers from the earthquake that occurred in Charleston at about thai timo. When the Grand Army men visited Pasadena in the summer of IBSli , the Browns wore taken in a carriage , a rope attached to the polo.aud dragged through the town amid the playing of patriotic airs much to their confusionas no moro modest and retiring men ever lived ; ye they found occasion to suggest three cheers for the south , and Jason has olten told the writer that while they consider that their father was murdered they have not thu slightest enmity , to ward the people of the south , understanding exactly now bitter the feeling was at the time. They consider that their father diet that freedom might live , and that ho him self considered his death was an ofi'crint , to the cause is shown by his words whicl were , in ofl'ect , that it would do moro to help the cause than any further action o his in life. These children of John Brown notonly prdctico justice , but carry it out to sue ! an extent that this has probably kep them poor. That they are honored b\ their neighbors it need hardly bo said When the boycott on the Chinese was do clarcd here in IdSO , the Browns were a ones on the side of the weaker , an < Jason informed mo that ho was going to Los Angeles to employ a Chinaman , foi the sake of the example or "principle , I nothing more , oven it ho had to work night to earn the money to pay him The last time I visited the slopes o Brown's peak , an almond-eyed Mongo Han was at work , whether as a result of the oppression or not , I did not in quire. COI.OKEI ) MEN'S aiuTiTunE. Within a week some colored people o Pasadena got up a benefit for the family and the occasion was ono of great inter est historically. The llrowns and . their families all sat together , and were pro Fented to the audience. The gentleman who introduced them , though uot want Ing notoriety , had it thrust upon him , as when the ceremony was over Owen Brown rose to his feet , and after telling how liis .father joined tlia temperance party , said : "Now I want to say a word for my friend , Mr , . His house was always open to us whcti we were doing the good work , and it was he 'who made some of tlio pikes tbat-woro sent'to Harper's Ferry tq po used m freeing laves. This secret coming out so many onrs after created no llttlo sensation among the gentleman's friends. In the ludleneo I saw many who were more or ess interested In the "underground rail road. " The Giddincs family were all > rcsent , among them Joshua Giddings , he old abolitionist so long in congress. A stranger behind mo said : "I came icro to-night out of curiosity , as my at her often helped slaves that John Jrown passed along toward freedom : " ami ho told mo that llo paw several Quak- ; rs In the hall who had been unknown nit prominent supporters of Brown. An > ld slave woman sat by the side of Huth Irown Thompson , who was near John irown when ho was hung , and told vhat her mistress said after the hangintr. while upon the stage was an ox-colored senator , who as a boy witnessed the exe cution. cution.OWT.K OWT.K nilOAVN'S HEMIXISEXCKS. Some months ago I happened at Las Dacitas with Dr. Gleanon , of ElmlraNow York , and Owen Brown agreed , after nuch persuasion to relate Ins experiences on his famous trip from the north to the south with a colored man named Greene , who had volunteered to aid in the free- ng of slaves. A more dramatic recital t would bo difllcult to imagine ; a story of the greatest privation and danger. where starvation threatened them , and captivity meant certain death. What impressed me as remarkable was that Owen Brown should remember the trip so accurately though it occurred over a quarter of a century ago. Every fence they crossed , every stream they swam was remembered , and the entire country , its mountains , streams and val- oys described in detail. No account of his adventurous trip has over been pub- ished. It will atl'nrd a valuable addition to thn hlstorv of that time and will nrob- ibly bo published by Mrs. Until Brown Thompson , who has many of her fai.li-- or'tj pages and documents.

Columbus Correspondence of the Globe-Democrat : There is no longer any question on the , , Sherman-Forakcr disagreement in Ohio this year. It is really the old light between Blaine and Sherman. Ohio congressmen came homo impressed with the importance of having a strong resolution adopted this year de claring Ohio's unuualilied endorsement of Sherman lor president. They stated that republicans fromJothcr states were constantly asking theni in Washington if Ohio would bo solid for Sherman in 1833 , and were not satisfied with their word that his state would bo for tiim. They insisted that the indorsement was abso lutely necessary to jiatn any headway for Sherman in other status. Accordingly , a Sherman organization was perfected in Washington secretly before the adjourn ment oi congress among the republican congressmen , with Ju'dgo Thompson as chairman , General Grosvenor as organ- i/.er , Captain J. C. Donalson as secre tary. In addition to the congressmen as aetivc members , ox-Governor Fisher , Mural Halstead , Judge William Law rence , Hon. Thomas Cowgill , many members of the Ohio legislature , and others , were taken in for a distribution of labor. The still-hunt of this combina tion is now an open secret , and the Blaine men have declared war. THE HLAINE MEN OFFENDED. The Blaine men.especially on the West ern Reserve , charged that this was a usurpation of the prerogatives of _ the state committee and party organization , and took : i sharp turn by putting Gov ernor ForaKer between fires. These anti- Shorn.au men. knowing that Forakcr would soon bo in the field for re-election as governor , said that if ho ran on a Sherman platform ho would be beaten. They insisted that this Is not a presiden tial year ; that Sherman should not hazard the state ticket and jeopardize home af fairs for his own urestiao abroad. They state now openly that if a Sherman reso lution is oflored at the Republican State convention in Toledo , July 27 , they will oppose it to the last , and see that it is not adopted unanimously , and. if It is bull dozed through by claims of a majority , that they will carry the war to thd polls nnd make it the end of both Sherman and Forakcr. It is this contingency that is cncouragine the friends of Thurumn to have the Old Roman head the democratic ticket. Governor Foraker has declared himself strongly opposed to a resolution this year endorsing Sherman for next year. The governor is a strong friend of Sherman , but he fears the result of a disaffection - affection of the Blaine men. HOI.DINU KOHAKKU KKSl'ONSIUI.E. Judge W. II. West , Judge J. W. Brown , Gen. Asa W. Jones and other leading mon have gene so far as to toll Forakor'H friends that the governor will bu hold responsible , for the action of a convention that is unanimous for him for governor. While the Bhv.no mon continuo - tinuo to give warning , Sherman's friends are constantly working to get the resolu tion programme in grand shape. It is also said that they want control of the state committee for the advantage it will give them next year. The interests of Sherman prospectively ami Koraknr col lectively have , therefore , como in collision - lision , and a tight is inevitable at Toledo. It is sftld that toraker may not run if the party organization and platform are fixed moro for the purprtsos of next year than for this year. The republican con gressmen are at Ma.nfifiold aften. con sulting with Sherman , , notably Buttnr- worth , Grosvenor , Thompson and Llttlo. McKinley and the Taylors are not with the other congressmen' . There is much in the line of political scheming going on now. Foraker is having very much such a time with the senator , as Foster had when ho was governor. , It is to bo seen when the convention meets at Toledo whether Sherman can assume the atti tude of Conkling in iChio and frown down the opposition to * him , although the opposition by the pressure of circum stances includes the governor an d other loaders.

The community looks. .o us not only for the capture and con viction of the thieves , but in a largo part expect us to prevent crime. To do this n any successful way entails upon mo and mv olllcors a thorough and continu ous knowledge of thieves and malefac tors , their customs , manner of life , habits dud assocjatcs , their special aptitudes and peculiarities , and their general haunts mil lounging places.

Ho asked mo what 1 considered the qualifi cations of a good deteetivo , and I enu merated youth , energy , courage , enter prise , good sense , and an acquaintance with thieves and their methods. 'What ! ' said j.Mr. Uooscvelt. 'Do you consider intimacy with the criminal classes one of the essential qualifications ot your ojlicers ? ' 1 replied that I most certainly did , and added ! that there was no day that I did not pass some of my time among thieves. 'Do you include to day'said Mr. Roosevelt. 'I do'I an swered , 'for , looking into this big audi ence , I can sec several men I have helped send to Sing Sing for various crimes ! ' The explanation scorned to satisfy the young lawyer , and ho asked mo no fur ther on that point. Yet the necessity of this acquaintance with thieves ought to bo self-evident. It you lose your watch and eomo to mo to aid in finding it for you. I do not go to William M. Evarts , nor to Arohbishou Corrigan , nor to Kcv. Howard Crosby to discover who stole it. I must go among thieves , and to be able to do tills and get back vour watch I limit have the knowledge 1 speak about. Why don't I take a vacation ? Well , I'll toll you. Every time I go out of town , oven for a few hours , I feel an irresistible impulse to get back. It seems to mo 1 might be needed. Go to Europe ? No , not My dear follow , if over they get mo out- sidn of land they will have to put hand- cull's on me ! " LUXURY RUN WILD. \VlintIt Costs to JrcHS a Fashionable VOUIIK Man. New York Letter : 1 was in an up-town haberdasher's shop the other day , and in the course of it half hour's conversa tion 1 learned considerable about the personal decorations of a Untie. A modest request to look at some robes do nuit was what started the shopkeeper. He took a ghinco at my goldou locks und produced a box , remarking : "Hero is something which will suit , your aouiplex- ion. " It suited my complexion better than it did my poukctbook. It was made of a fawu colored Chinese silk , very soft , nnd elaborately embroidered m light blue. A delicate tracery ol blue vines and flowers ran around the collar , down the front and around the cull's , and it was made to button with gold studs. "This is a very simple pattern , " re marked the gentle haberdasher , "and costs only ? 0. Here is a most elaborate style for $12 , " and ho brought out a gar ment of rather finer material , simply covered with embroider. ? . I mildly in sinuated that i wanted something tor about $1.AO. lie looked unhappy for a moment , but recovered , when lie began to ahow mo some silk underwear for $15 a set , and purple silk hose for $5 a pair. From underwear wo got to shirts , pa jamas and "bla/ors. " The styles were unique and glaring. "Do men really wear these things ? " I inquired innocently. Ho gazed at mo pityingly. "lo you know what it costs to dross a fashionable young man ? " ho asked. " 1 mean simply for underclothing , " ho added. "To begin at the bottom , ho needs , say , a do/on pair of socks , nt from s ? I to $0 a pair. His half-do/.en sets of silk underwear will cost him $15 a set. llis shirts will cost him $25 a dozen , anil his collars and cull's , of which he needs a good many , with his neckties , will cost as much more. Tennis shirts , long stockings , blazers , etc. , will run up , n a summer season , to a couple of hundred dollars. "Yes , " ho r.ddcd meditatively , "a young man needs about $500 to got a summer outlit , not counting his tailor's , and shoemaker's , and hat ter's bills , which will amount to much moro. Uf 'course his fall and winter out fits are more expensive. " "How much a year does it cost to dress properly1 1 asked. " 1 have customers who spend $5,000 a year on their clothes , and they are by no means extravagant , " was the prompt Substitute lor Tiling Slate. Sanitary Plumber : A valuable dis covery , which bids fair to create a revolution in the ranks of the roofers' trade , is the recent utili/.ation of compressed paper phlp as a substitute for slate in the manufacture of tiles for roof ing , The advantages gained nro an in herent lightness , obviating the necessity of the present weighty frame support ; a toughness and elasticity not possessed by slate , rendering breakage an impossibil ity ; a singular power of resistance to in- tonco heat or llama ; and a readiness to receive nails to bind compactly to the bed , nnd so closely together that high winds will not losscn or cause them to shift , as is frequently the case with slate tiling. The process of manufacture is simple , yet complete. Thn mould is first prepared , into which thn pulp In pressed and allowed to partially dry. The crude tiles are then dipped into a solution to harden their fibres and render them waterproof. When thoroughly impreg nated they are dried by baking In an oren heated to a special temperature , then coated with an enameling mixture , upon which is sifted a thin coating pi fine sand , colored according to the tint .dcslrco , to fireproof them. They arc sub jected to a heat a sccobd time , and nro then , ready for use. Architect * anil Hiipoiintonrtents. Hodgjon & Son. Offices Iron Hank. Omnha.

Tnis SWIFT SrFCino Couri.ir , Atlanta , Oa.i amllemcn I have been an Invalid pensioner for forty yean , having contracted pulmonary and other diseases Iu the Mexican War , but not till the 1st of llarch , 1S73 , did I feel any symptoms of rheumatism. On that day I vras suddenly stricken with that dis ease In both hips and ankles. For twenty days I walked on crutches. Then the pain was less violent , Iiut It shifted from Joint to Joint. For v * eeks I would bo totally dlonlilnl , either oil ono side of my body or the otber.
