an irrsn. sr csme, uelis, imp tilix,
From the Xcic Century or Honian.
We are Ihreo tender, cllnglns things,
With palpitating natures,
Wn can't endure that gentlemen
Should think ot us as creatures
Who dress llko frights and want their rights,
Or business to attend to,
Or havo their views, or ask the news,
Or anything that men do.
J)i listen, valued gentlemen,
llon't let yourselves be blinded I
We're not estranged, wo're no way changod,
And not the least strong minded.
We can't abide cares and tulDgs,
We net er touched an ism ;
We couldn't stand outside a sphere j
Xor do a syllogism.
Wo don't enjoy rode health, like some,
'or mannish Independence ;
We're helpless as three soft shelled crabs,
Without some male attendants.
Wo need o, how we need a guide ;
Secure, his lews obtaining.
Of what to like, and where to step,
And whether It Is raining.
And when wo roam, we wait for him
To point, with manly structures,
The landscape out, and say "Behold 1"
Just as they do In pictures.
Wo'ro trusting conndlng
Too easily we'ie bunded,
We're clinging and hanging
And truly feeble minded.
Wo dtssaprovo tho sort of girl
Who calls for education,
And sells her talents like a man,
For bold remuneration.
We'd die before we learned a trado ;
We'd scorn to goto college i
Wo know (from parsing Milton) how
L'nfcmlalnc Is knowledge.
"Ood Is thy law, thou mtnf , It says
Thou art my guide and mentor.
My author and my publisher ;

Hut we, wo can do naught but tllng.
As on the oak tho vino did ;
And we know nothing but to love ;
ludeid, we'ro feeble minded.
THE FLOCK OF DOVES.
EV CEI.IA TlIilTEB.
Tho world was like a wilderness
Of soft and downy snow ;
The trees were plumed with feathery flakes.
And the ground was white below,
Camo tho little mother out to the gato
To watch for her children three :
Her hood was as red as the poppy-flower,
And rosy and oung was she.
She took the snow In her cunning hands,
As waiting she stood alone,
And lo I In a moment, beneath her touch,
A fair while dove had grown.
A flock Mie wrought, and on the fence
Si-t them In bright array.
With folded wings, or pinions spread,
Heady to fly away.
And then she hid by the pine tree-tall,
For the children's tones rang sweet,
As home from school, through tho drifts so light.
Dicy sped with merry feet.
"Oh Nannie, Nannie, boo the fence
Alive with doves so while !''
"Oh, hush 1 don't frighten them away 1"
They whisper with delight.
They crept so soft, they crept so still,
Tho wonderous sight to see,
The little mother pushed the gato
And laughed out Jo f ullv.
She clasped them close, she kUscd their cbeeU,
And lips so sweet and red ;
"The birds are only mode of snow I
Tou are lny doves," the said.

THE CIiAL'K3IAN'S DEFEAT;
OR, OLD JOHN CALCOTT'S SITCCLSSFUL CHAL
LENOT. I don't suppose you feci much In'crest in
terest in burplnryior nrc their lmhilsa very
choice, themp in polite literature ; but then
that occurrence nt Glen Spring was really an
extraonlinnry nflair. You see, the way I
came tn tret wind nf it was thrnueh "Calirn
Charley," as they called him. I was on the
fnrce then ns sergeant, That was when Ac
ton and Kennedy made it too hot for bitth
the politicians and the thieves. We ined
to honst nt that time that we had lhe best
police force in the world. Well, "Calico
Charlev" went up for ten years for helpine
tn craclc nld Oppenhe!mer'n place there in
the liowprv. It was an unliickv job for him
nil thrnueh. and n 1 wns one of the specials
thnt "pined" and tool.- him, and as I. had
known him nH'nnJ on for a long time before.
Hint, it w is just like me one day, when T
wn up nt Pin? Sinr. to cn over to the tnne
oisrrv and trt th1 keeppr to let me havei
talk wilh him. I cot his whole hUtnry. He
wasn't one of vnur common cracksmen. Xt
a hit nf it. He was loo smart hv a lomr thot
for Ihnt "irt of Ibing. Don't run awav with
a notion that hiirg'nra are such an fill smart
chops. That's a qnor Idea that people cot

heard the chaplain pay once, over to Hip
is'inil. that a limn whose mind and bodv
vere all right wouldn't hp a thief no more'n
a healthy fellow'd he n pauper. There's al
ways something tho matter with 'em. A
twist 'cm noinn where that knocks 'cm flat
when a eonnil man pets after 'm.
Calico Charley, as I was going to, say, was
pretty much of an exception, He was
brought up well His father was one nf the
best machinists jn (ho country, and he tnnk
more pains tn make a man of his hoy than
he fellow ilffrnrd. The old man had a
little place down there in Maiden lane when
1 wns a shaver, I recollect it well, It was
a kind of machine shop, where ho made
and cold three or four tricks he'd invented
himself. Ho had tho bny Charley wUh him
a bright, smart chap he was then. When
he wns 21 ho got to be pretty lively- about
town, fur tho old man bad saved tip a hand
some property and let Charley have more
money than was good for him. Then he
got up a new .safe loet, and it made a big;
stir, and I believe they went into that sort
of thing pretty heavy. Any way Charley
went over with the lock tn the first world'i
fair In London. There he eot, trlpnod up,
I never heard e xactly bow It was. They
put up a wicked jb on him of tome kind,
and got hi in mixed up with a pretty bad
London "mob," The story that we beard
was that he picked a safe lock for a party
that should ii t havo been picked. Any nr
be got in with the wrong crowd sod '
wouldn't lt;o of him. He stayed ve'
about five years and got to be a regular first
class sneak, and worked half a dozen jobs in
tho mostsclentlfio manner. Wo got word
from Scotland Yard that ho wns coming
back, and I dropped In at tho old man's
place there in Maiden lane to try and find
out something. Old Calcott (that was his
name) had got rich, What with his bank
lock and hii other inventions, his mean way
of living, and his luck in buying somo down
town property beforo people had an Idea
how big tho city was going to be, he'd como
to bo a regular nabob, I couldn't get a word
out of him about his boy. He said he'd
given him up, and was going to retire from
business. Money must have come in pretty
fast then to the old fellow. He showed me
half a dozen patents that ho was going to
sell out j any ono of 'em must havo been
worth a pile of dollars.
Now I think of it, it was Calcott who put
the first Franklinlto in an iron safe, and he
invented tho rubber fiango which prevented
the thieves from using tho air-pump when
they wanted to blow up a safe.
It seems that wheu young Calcott statted
for America he'd made up his mind to cut
his London acquaintances and tricks, and
squaro it by going back to the old man.
None of us knew it at the ttme. Well, when
be got here a curious thing happened Wo
had a man in the Central Ofiice by the name
of Meehan, who was in an east-side mob.
Ho was broke about a year afterwards. Mee
han had got a word from tho London gang,
and he met young Calcott on the dock with
facts enough to send him up ; and be maJo
a straight offer to him to stay with the east
side gang if he didn't want to end his career
for usclulness. What does Calcott do but
hum and haw and go to see some of the fel
lows, and finding himself pretty well staked
out, gives in and opens a fresh lay of indus
try. He said afterwards that he, iutended to
cut 'em the first chance he got. But he
never did. Ho got to be the big
chief in as dangerous a gang as ever worried
tho men in Mulberry street. Wo thought we
had him two or three times, hut he slipped
through our fingers. There wasn't a clean
job in iron put up anywhere but it had the
marks of his tools on it. When the war
brokoout he was in New Orleans, and we
lost track of him for five or six years.
It was in the winter of '65 that the gen
tlemen's places along tho Hudson were
broken into by a river gang. You may re-
collect it. Judgo Schcrmcrhorn's house at
Glen Spring was entered one night and
robbed of $50,000 worth of property. The
papers made a good deal of fus3 about it,
and we had tbreo or four men working at it,
One dav Mattison comes into the ofiice with
a copy of the Olen Spring paper Herald, I
bftlieve it was and Bays "Look at this,
Here's a go. Kead that." And he pointed
out aa advertisement. This is the way it
read :
All burglars, housebreakers, sneak thieves
and assassins are hereby notified that I have
over $C0,000 worth of coin, jewels and silver
ware in my house, which they are welcome
to if they will come and take it. No dogs,
servants or laborers about the place. The
bouse is a mile from auy other residence.and
the only occupant is an old man, not in very
food health, by the name of
John Calcott.
"It's some old lunatic," says I, "who
haui't got money enough to get credit.'
"No," says.Mattison. "They say up there
he's worth half a million. He lives in a
fine house all by himself, about two milts
from the denot."
It was three-days' talk in the office, and
then we forgot it. Hut the advertisement
was kept in the paper, and it seems Tony
Frost, down at Dobb's herry, struck it,
That was the way it got to the gang. They
pooh-poohed it as "chaff," but Frost, it
seems, went up to Glen Spring, poked about
sifted the thing, reennnoitered the premises,
and came down to the city with a big yarn
for his pals. His report was that the.old
"luny" had got a ign on his fence inform
ing everybody that pased, that here was the
unprotected house full of valuables that the
river gang didn't dare walk into. He was
sure, too, there wasn't any gammon about
the stuff, for he'd found out that old Calcott
was immensely rich, and kept nearly all his
wealth ill his house.
Now, I don't suppose it's reasonable that
a regular cracksman should bite at auy such
bait a this ; hut Tony Frost kept poking
away at it, and one day somebody In the
gang said it was too much to have tho pro
fesnion insulted in that way, uultss they
were all afraid of the old duffer. After that
Tony Frost weut to tho house got up as a
tramp, and tried the back door. The im -
merit he knocked it flew open, and an ohl
man's voice hailed him over the stairs.
' Hallo there, what d'ynu want?"
"Suniiiat to eat, if yer ple-e," cays Tony,
idiiituin? in and taking a gwol Jook rouud.

the old man, ' and djn't stand giplng round

when Hill ICetihuin, who was the ringleadei

letlcrtd in red on a white ground, uud in
viti.ig all burglar, house-breakers, sneak
thieves mid assassins to come in and take
what they could get. The houfe stood a
good ways batk from the road, and as Hill
weut up the wide path lie had a good chaucc
to take in tho twclllug, It was a large brick
house with a high stone foundation and au
Iron stoop. There wasn't a shutter, a pair
of blind, on the place, And if anybody
had tried to set It afire hs would have given

had a lot of things in his pack that tickled

which she bad given him, and asked her a

much out of her, simply because she tlidu'l

interview the old man. and pokes about till

Didn't you read the warning to ncddlera

shouted tho old man.
"WarnlnM" sayj Bill, giving himself
away.
"All right," sings out the old man. quick
er than lightning. "You're no peddler.
You want to see my property. Come up ;
I'll show it to you."
Well, this stumped illll a 'good deal, but
ho plucked up and followed Calcott into au
upper room, keeping ono eye around him
and taking in everythiug,but making a great
show of trade.
"This room," Bays Calcott, "is where I
sleep. Thero isn't any lock on tho door.and
this room is where I keep my money.
There's tho safe I never lock It. Here.I'll
show you what's In It stand still because
when I pull tho door open it starts a lele
graph machine, and three of the best men
in the county start from the village they're
officers. With that he jerked the Joor
open.
Dill was a little nervous, and he could't
help showing it.
"If any of your gang should come here at
night I'll put you up to a trick cut the
wires first, they run across the road below
the big gate. Don't be nervous. Do you
see that f its gold. Feel the weight of it.
These are diamonds. Can you tell the real
spark when you see It ? I should say they
were worth in the market, between $30,000
and M0.000.
The old man kept up this kind of patter,
standing there in his old calico wrapper,
Bill Ketchum watching him with one eye
and wondering whether he was Insane or
just tho smartest man he'd over met. Ho
had an idea it was just the easiest thing to
knock him over as he stood there, and wnlk
off with the plunder. But that bint about
the telegraph stopped him. Then the old
man showed him out, and when he got into
the hall he says: "Your'c the first peddler
that I ever saw that carried a revolver iu his
breast pocket."
Bill started a little, for he had an idea
that Calcott must have Been it.
"Ho, ho I" says the old man ; so you have
got one?"
The last thing he said to him as he was
going down the steps was : "You're not
smart enough for this job my man."
Ketcbum told his fellows that he was nev
er so clean winded in his life. "I felt so
mean when I was comiugaway," says be,
that I'd half a mind to reform and cut the
profession,"
Well, not to niako the story too long, the
upshot of it was that Ketcbum, a fellow by
tho name of Welter, and Jack Frost, put up
the job to crack the old man's place. Ketch'
um and Frost, I think, went into the busi
ness from a kind of pride. They considered
they had been challenged, and it was a point
of honor to take the old man at bis word.
They got up there one dark night in May
and laid by till lung after midnight. Then
they got over the fence and sneaked u p to
the house. They wcro all heavily armed,
and, I forgot to say, wcro delayed Borne time
looking for tne telegraph wire, which they
couldn't find, of course, there not being any,
Fancy their surprise when, after crawling
round the place, looking for a Boft spot to
break in, they found that the front door was
unlocked, and the hall dark. It had been
agreed that old Calcott should bo shot at
Bight if he interfered.
There was a good deal of anxiety in the
headquarters of the gang that night, for tho
job had been talked about a good while, and
Ketchum had staked his reputation on it,
Dutch Morley was to be at a point in the
road about two miles north of the house
with a fast team to carry off tho "'swag,"
and arrangements had been made at Dobh'x
Ferry to divvy and cut.
Dutch Morley waited till day began to
break, and then only two of them turned up.
They were covered with blood, and one of
them had his arm broken. Welter had been
left behind disabled. They had not an
ounce of the plunder. The story they told
was a curious one. The whole gang got
round them when they reached the hive,
and put the questions to them fust and
thick.
"Butyou fixed theolu fellow '.flint; any.
how?" said somebody.
We didn't bee him at all," answered
Ketchum, dolefully. "No, U- u it, we, were
in the daik. Why, a lamp wouldn't burn
any more'n a stone. We liked lo lUtl.i

'Oh, that's thlo," said mother; "why

John Calcott,
Frost got hold of Calico Charley and ex
plained the whole thing to him. None o
the gang kuew Charley's right name, an4
don't think he was told the name of tho man
they were to rob, Frost explained to him
that it was the steel shutters that "knocked
them," and he thought uow he knew th
trick, One of tkem could wedgo the iron and
keep the exil open while the others secured
the property. At all, , events tho two men
cooked up a new job, .and made sure that
they woul.il haul the whole pile, as we say
Charley, who was a careful worker weut at
the thing systematically, got his tools ready,
sent Frost ofi to reconnoitre, and talked
very little. They were about two weeks get'
ting ready. Iu spite of all their pains to
keep It dark the gang got wind of the at
fair, and of course they were all very anx'
ious to ue bow it would come out.

THE COLUMBIAN. VOL. XI, NO 5
COLUMBIA DEMOUltAT.VOL.XM, NO. 48
Charley and his pal went up to a little sta
tion about three miles north of Glen Spring
and started down at night ou foot. It was
dark when they got to the house thai they
could not see the sign. There wasn't the
glimmer of a light about the place. They
were to gt softly up and try the front door.
It opened they were to step Inside quick
One of them was to stay at the door to
keep the egress open ; the other was to go
p stairs and secure the valuables. They
had two jimmies, a coal chisel, and a lot of
other traps of Charley's that you can see
down thero at the Central Office, In a glass
case.
They found the front door unfastened as
before. Charley pushed it open, and they
hoth stepped quickly and stealthily into the
hallway. "Wait a moment," ho whispered
his companion and striking a match; I
want to see how this thing works." With
that he struck a light and took a good look
the door way. "I see the trick," says he;
give mo that screw wrench and be quick."
In less than two minutes he had the groove
which the steel shutter moved, so pinch
ed that no earthly power could havo made
the thing work. "Now go on," says he, and
Ith that Frost crawls up the stairway. He
hadn't any more than got to the top when
tho iron Bhutter began to appear coming
p through tho floor, and to Charley's as
tonishment it came down from above also.
He saw in a minute that he was beaten. The
two halves of tho shutter would come to the
pinch in the iron and leave not six Inches
space throngh which do human being
could escape. So he jams the jimmy up
ght into the groove to keep the irons apart
and calls out in a hoarse whisper to 'como
back. Jack was in the upper hall. and. get-
ng scared, makes a bold rush down the
stairs, catches his foot in something and
lands all in a beep at the bottom, knocking
Charley's light into smithereena aud making
most Infernal noise. Calcott was smart
enough, though, to hold his jimmy steady so
as to keep the shutters apart, and after Frost
had picked himself up and they had both
listened, without hearing anything, one uf
em says with an oath, "We're in a box
lets get out.' it wa3 frost, "rso you
don't says the other. "We've como for the
stuff this time. I never was beaten yet at
this sort of a game, and I niu't heat yet.
Take your shooter, follow mo up and show
me the way.
They got up to the top of the stairs. It
was as still ns death, and Calcott lights a
hull's eye. Frostjwas getting pretty shaky,
So Charley says, "Show ino the room," aud
ith his lamp in one hand and pistol in the
other, ho pushes in, leaving Frost in the
hall, watching the equate hole iu the door,
between the shutters, and expecting every
minute that it would close up. It must have
been ten minutes before Calcott came back.
He had the lamp in his hand yet, and Frost
saw th-t he was white as a sheet. All he
said was "Come down its no go."
bon they got to the bottom, the shutters
separated aud disappeared, and tho men
walked out. "Where's the plunder?" asked
rost. "I haven't got it," says Charley ; "I
tell you it's no use the man is burglar
proof. If you don't believe it, go back and
try for yourself, l ui oft!"
With this cock and bull story they got
back into their rendezvous. Aud it was nev
er known, I don't believe, till 1 interviewed
Calico Charley up there at tho prison, that
he had met his own father, that night. Ac
cording to Charley's story to me the old
man said he was waitingfor him. And so
truck was the son with remorse that he lout
all his pluck aud coolness. Whether he cv
er went back to the old mau after he got rid
of his pal, I never heard. But the gang had
two notions, one was that tholplace was un
der special charge of the devil, aud the oth
er was that Calico Charley grabbed a lot ot
plunder and then gut up the story to stop the
mouths of the rest of 'em.
But the devil had uothing to do with the
place. It was all fixed by tbo old man's in
genuity. The house was all wires and levers
from ouecud to the other. He could turn a
crank up in his bedroum aud shut the whole
houie up as tljrht at a. drum. Then he'
slip down into his cellar, turu a half ton ot

kinder machine that worked with a treadlej '
and bill said the way they did in the fall
was to fix it on the hog's back, and connect
the treadle with a sting, and then the hogd
work the treadle and keep on running it up
and down until the machine cut the hog all
up fine and shoved tho meat into the skins.
Bill said his brother called it 'Every Hof
His Own Stuffer,' and It worked splendid.
But I don't know. 'Pears to me'a if then
couldn't be no machine like that. But any
way, Bill said so.
And he told me about an uncle of bis ont

and when he got home lie sold it to an en
gine company for a hose, for forty thousand
dollars to put out fires with. Bill said that
was actually so, because he could show me a
man who used to belong to the engine com

a sea-serpent like that; but be don't leave

Indians caught him nnce and drove eleven
railroad spikes through his stomach, and cut
off his scalp, and never hurt him a bit. He
said he got away by the daughter of the
chief snaking him out of the wigwam an4
ending him a horse. Bill says she was la
ove with him, and when I asked him to let

It might worry the old man.

father has a very large brass idol that he
keeps in the garret, and Bill saya he's
made up his mind to be a pagan, and g
naked and carry a tomahawk, and a bow

comes. And to prove it he says his father
has this town all underlaid with Ilitrogly

And now I believe I must be going. I

A Touching Story.
I was told this morning says a correspon
dent of the New York Evening Pott, a very
touching story, which may illustrate one aid
of Paris, and wiil possibly affect many a
reader who has himself seen something of
art life iu the great Babylon. A. younf
Ameriuan artist of much talent has.been for
some months preparing a picture entitled
"Chnrlotto Corday on the eve of;her execu
tion," which he baa had on exhibition at th
Centennial.
As he is most thoroughly conscientloui
and pains-taking he has labored earneatly
with models.
It is scarcely necessary to say that he had
much difficulty in finding one who bad suit
ed him in every particular. When hs did
find her he was surprised that she was tat
virtuous daughter of pious parents, and had
adopted this curious profession because th
had drifted into it a momentwben there was
uolhiug else to do. Joiued to her rare and
delicate beauty was an Indefinable and ex
quitte melancholy, which seemed born of
some vague and unexpressed apprebcnslaa
of future truuble. During the seventy or
eighty sittings which the model gave the ar
tist, the latter frequently and respectfully
endiavored to win from her the secretof her
troubles, but always in vain. At last he
himself ei uld not help seeing in the royjte-.
