Death f a Miner.
fl never rains but It pours; it never neerolopl
showers without' there being a mortuary
. A few weeks ar I recorded the death of
mysterious miner, Lyman Allen by name; a
days since I was under tho necessity of
bltuarlzlng a Mr. Thompson, a miser in art; to
day 1 am impelled to ask you to deplore with
me tho demise of Mr. Edward V. Tardy, who
tied on Saturday, worth fifty thousand dollars,
and who during the last thirty years of his Hfo
kas lived upon the garbage gathered from the
gutters. He and his sister, who was quite as
' talented a mlscrces, in her way, as he was a
miser in his, liycd together in a wretched
basement In Greenwich avenue. Tlijtffcb. in tho
enjoyment of ample means, they spent the day ill
investigating the gutters, ash-barrels, and waste
boxes of the city with hooks, and made a profit
able living as garbage gatherers alone. Some
weeks ago Miss Tardy fell sick, and to save
the expense of a physician, her devoted brother
had her taken to the Bellcvne Hospital, where
she died. Soon after he became an invalid him
self, and would literally have starved to death
n his wretched pallet in tho Greenwich avenue
basement, had he not been discovered by a
former friend one of those chnms whom
' misery often makes a sort of Machiavellian
ood Samaritan, at once a cynic and a philan
thropist. . Ho it was who conveyed him to his
residence upon Sixth avenue, where Mr.
Tardy died, leaving all his money to a great
nephew. The circumstances of his death, and
the penurious habits of the luttor half of his life,
derive some interest from the fact that his uncle
was once French Minister to this country.
AIomiODlmn In tills City.
Mr.BrighamYonng, Jr., adthreo of hisfriendi
are now in this city, conducting themselves as
becomes much-married men away from home.
I hear that Mr. Young has been for some days
in Philadelphia, and you are of course aware
that the reputed reason of his extended visit
there is that his third wife, iter Fcnton, has ust
relumed thither from Utah aud refuses to go
back again. It is stated that tho lady is dis
gusted with what sho saw of married life there.
The position of the wedded women she pro
Bounces degrading. They have no will of their
own. They learn their husband's maxims by
IS s ft nn rnnitut tliom liirrAln ITlrA a i-tnll namAf
aud this is quite suiTlclent to account for the
lady's contempt for pretty pol-ygamy! Mr.
Young is understood to have gone to Philadol
pnia for the express purpose of recalling her to
her senses, and of offering to her father a lucra
tive position in Utah if he could be induced to
go thither.
I,e Pcre Ilvncinthe.
It would have been strange indeed if Lo Pere
Hyacinthc should have left this city as he did
cn Saturday in the steamer Pereire for Havre
without incurring the charge of Deing a humbug.
He behaved too modestly to suit tho genius of
New York. There is not an "interviewer" in
New York who speaks well of him. Every
epecics of bribery was tr led upon him, and all
failed. He snubbed New. York and was snubbed
by Boston, and in both lets of circumstances he
maintained his equanimity. The eloquence of
his lecture at the Academy was more picturesque
than any mine en scene yet presented there.
Cannot "charity" be said to have covered a
multitude of "scenes" ?
I., o. n.
On Saturday night, at a certain number in
Blcccker street, a secret society, called the Law
and Order Regulators, held its first meeting. It
is composed of reformers who, perceiving that
the times are out of joint, arc determined to set
them right, and make them double-jointed, so
as to do an extra amount of work. They erect
themselves into a Vehme-Gcrieht to judge
judges, execute criminals, free innocent pri
soners, and arrest sentenced fugitives. They
intend to reform society, to snatch tho false
weights from tho scales of justice, and strike the
leaden shoes from the feet of tho law. When
sentenced prisoners, on their way from the
court room to the penitentiary, cease to escape,
when judgment is not suspended against delibe
rate murderers, when the bench and the pulpit
are not afraid to speak the truth and shame the
devil, you miry bo sure that the L, 0, It. is at
tho bottom of (bo matter.
iiowiinff on "-unkcuness.
Judge Dowling has been delivering himself of
some happy and severe remarks in regard to tho
new regulation by Superintendent Kennedy, by
virtue of which persons arrested overnight for
drunkenness are detained in durance until after
9 o'clock next morning, instead of being brought
before the magistrates several hours earlier, as
was formerly the custom. Owing to the new
edict, bummers and gentlemen are herded
together and marched in public Ignominy through
the streets, to their own disgrace and confusion.
Justice Dowling evidently sides with the wlne
fcibbers although it Is not through tho "fellow
feeling" that is said to make "us wondrous
kind."

AN ASTONISIIER.
A ninn wlis Carries him Ucnlp In hla Pnrket
Positively Nliorklnsj Ktorlea of the Indian
Country.
From the Dttroit Advrrtintr and Tribune.
A few days since an Englishman named
William Thompson arrived hero from the West,
on his way to buffalo.where he had friends living.
He was in dcstltuto circumstances, but through
the kindness of many of our citizens his imme
diate wants were fully supplied, and his pockets
were well filled with money to cnablo hlrn to
care for himself in the future. This man is, in
deed, a living wonder. He has been fearfully
wounded in several places bv tho Indians aud
scalped, and the fact that ho carries bis scalp la
his pocket is the best possiblo evidence of the
truth of his statement. He has furnished us
wim some lacts connected with his recent his
tory, which we append substantially in his own
words:
I came to this country In 185-1, and went West
in the employ of the Union Pacillc Kallroad
Company, where I remained until August C,
181)7, at which time I had charge of a gang of
laborers. One day news caine to the telegraph
operator thatjthe wire was cut on the lino of tho
road. At about 9 P. M. I was ordered, with a
detachment of six men, including the operator,
to go and repair tho wire. We had proceeded
about six miles from the station to a place called
Plum Creek, when the hand-car in which we
(vers riding was thrown from the track and
upset. Then came a yell and a volley of shots, j
We were surrouuded bv at least one hundred
Indians of a tribe known as Chcyennes. Four
of my comrades fled, leaving an Irishman and
myself to do tho best we could. Ho fought
until he was killed. Ho was found in the
morning with his tongue cut out, his eyes torn
from their sockets, and six arrows stuck in his
body. He was scalped also.
About the tlmo my comrado was killed my
ammunition gave out, and I felt as though no
chance for my life wa left. I received a blow
on the head, and fell. I had previously been
shot in three places a gunshot wound In my
right arm, fracturing the bones above the elbow,
an arrow-shot in my neck, and another in the
small of the back. Tho Iudians were upon me
in an instant, and the only hope was to feign
death, which I did. They kicked me, hit mo on
tho head with whip-stocks, scalped me, toma
hawked me, and left me for dead.
About this time the freight train came along,
which attracted their attention. I got up and
ran the distance of a mile or thereabouts.when I
became exhausted and lay down, bleeding very
freely. Then came a crash. The engine and
several of the cars were thrown from tho track;
the engineer and fireman were killed, scalped,
and thrown into the firebox and burned to ashes.
The attacking Indians plundered the train, car
ried tho freight to tho river, a dislaneo of two
miles, burned the cars, aud disappeared about
noon next day.
? All this timo I lay in the grass, not being
able to help myself. Fortunately aid came soon
after, in tho shape of a Government train, ac
companied by a band of Pawnees. They chased
the party that had done so much damage, over
took ana killed sixteen of them, and took a num
ber of prisoners. My scalp, which had been
dropped in the flight, was recovered.
1 was taken to Omaha, cared for by the Union
Pacific Kail road Company, and remained in
hospital there two years. Since I was scalped,
however, tho road has changed hands, and I am
now thrown upon the charity of tho world. My
head is not healed up, and I have no means of
earning a livelihood.
Mr. Thompson desires us to tender his most
heartfelt thanks to the inembors of tho Metro
politan Police, who very kindly did all in their
power to make him comfortable, and collected a
handsome sum for him. To tho people of our
city who contributed money to his relief he
ssiys, "God bless you."
