I was alwas fond of the seieneoof
physiognomy. Krom my youth ii)) I was
noted for my proclivity for reading the
character of a man from his face ; and I
finally became such an adept in the art,
that I could occasionally mio.s tho very
thoughts of thu individual whoso coun
tenance I was studying.
Soon after the gold fever broke out, I
went to California ; and ibciv, I mti-t
confes-vtinong what else lliore was to in
terest me, I hud a grand opportunity for
exercising my skill upon alUoitsof laces,
seen under all sorts of circumstance.,
from the highest triumph of success to
the deepest despair of failure. I first
tried my luck at digging gold myself,
but soon tired of that ; and believing I
could make money faster and witli less
labor.I opeued a kind of a grocery and pro
vision store, and went regularly into tho
business of trade, buying most of my ar
ticles at Saciamento,getting thorn hauled
to my quarters, and disposing of them at
a fair advance to the miners and others.
My store, as I dignified my place ol
trade, consisted of a rude skeleton of
poles, with a sufficiency of cheap iniHlin
drawn over them ami pinned down to
the earth, and was i locked only with thu
most salable articles of 'which Hour,
pork and whiskey found the most ready
market especially whiskey, In thu dry
season it was very du-ty, and everybody
seenud to be dry with a thiist which
mere water would not ipiencli. If a man
was successful ho wanted wlii-key to
bring his body up to the altitude of Ids
spirits i if unsuccessful, ho wanted whis
key to bring his spirits up tt the altitude
of his body ; if it chanced to he a litlle
was viM-v hot. ho wanted whiskey to cool
cool.ho wanted whiskey to warm liim; if it
him: he needed whiskev in the morning to
make him bright and active; lie needed
whiskey at night to lest him and make
him sfcci) well : he wanted il whin ho
bouuht.and when he sold ; wln-n lie won,
and when lie lost ; when lu- stood tip.and
when ho sat th'Wn; in shoit, whiskey
as the great lvguialoi-uf all hiitn.i i feel
tug- the genuine nxn- uie ami con
st qurniiv 1 Hill ail im:n i.sc uusiuisa in
whiskey.
iow t!ns,tlioiinli somewiiai ureiuvaiu,
brings me to my story.
-UV store being Uio headquarters oi
that locality for wnwki-v anil p'ovisions,
was biounht in eiMitact with nearly
eveiy sieciimn of the iwif.i homo that
eiilun il into i hat region ; aim sucii an

And jet, ml mtvo said, ho began to
altraet my atteniion nt last, and I began
to wonder why, Was it because ho was
so quiet, reserved and gentlemanly, and
did not purcltaso whiskey like the rest
and occasionally get excited and bolster

I One dav, 1 scarcely know how, I
touched upon the general superstitions
of mankind, and to my surprise I saw
that at last ho was interested. His eyu
changed expression, and brightened, and
emitted a strango and peculiar gleam ;
and my attention being thus directed to
his eye, I n-)v betlio iglit mo tint I had
never seen ouo exactly like il one capa

was off its guard now the loor was

me, like an electric shock I felt au in
lernal shudder of dread. No wonder I
had not been nblo to read him before ;
he man had been wearing an impene-
rable mask.
I now had tho key to the mystery and
to him, and I used it. lie was interest
ed in superstitions bad men always are
because thev carry a hell of wild Ian
cits witli them. Thus it was with this
man. as I could see bv his eve, and I
could make his fancies work upon him
I told him stories of sorcery, witchcraft
and magic of ghosts, hobgoblins and
nevus tin no oecame paio wun icar,
breathed with compressed lips, and
trembled in spito of his great nerve and
will.
It fjoud men, as I have said, are some
times superstitions, why, you ask, ditl I
think this man bad for being supersti
tious also? First, I answer, Incaii.S'i I
had accidentally thrown him off his gitaid
and read his soul ; and secondly, because
lie was not naturally nervous and credu
lous. Fear only had made liim so; and,
in one of his iron nature, fear could only
arise from the self convicted knowledge
of a past wicked deed. Thu man was
oven then a criminal.
lut let mo hnstcn to the ih iioue
ment. It chanced that no other person was
present when tho conversation occurred
about tho supeistitious fancies of men,
and as soon as we were interrupted by
tho entrance of another customer my
dark visitor left somewhat abruptly.
After lliat ho did not come as often as
before, and never seemed much at ease,
ami never renewed the conversation that
had so agitated him, and never, in fact,
entered into any otlier than ho could
possibly avoid. I kept my thoughts to
myself, but ma lo some casual inquiries
about him, and learned that he had been
so fortunate as to secure a capital ''lead,"
from whiult,-with his paitner, another
young man, lie was taking out gold in
quantities that promised lo enrich both,
and that both had the good will and es
teem of all who knew thein.
One dark night, about three or font
weeks after this, I was startled from my
sleep by wild, prolonged shrieks, and
ciies of:
"Murder! murder! help! help!"
I jumped up, s.-ized my revolvers, and
darted out iulo iho open air. Tho cries
and screams still continued, coining from
a point on the bend of the river about a
hundred rods below. In a minute I was
joined by live others, all well armed, and
together wo ran as hard as wo could to
tho plaeo from which the alarm proceeded.
When wo arrived there, at least thiily
men were collected in and around the
tent of tho dark man I have been de
scribing, and ho himself it was who had
given the alarm. His paitner and com
panion had been murdered and lobbed,
and ho himseli had been slightly cut
across tho face and gashed on the loft
arm, and ho was all excitement, lumen
ting his dearest triend, and avowing
vengeance, against the assassin. It was
some time befo.o we could get at tho par
ticulars ; and then wo learned that both
had been sleeping side by side, when
in unknown robber had crawled under
the canvas, stabbed one the heait, ami
had taken a largo bagof gold from under
his head. With this ho wasesoipini;
when tho pieseni narrator awoku and
heized him, and received tho wounds
which had compelled liim to relinquisl
his hold. Li'Mits were brought ; and
there, suro enough was the bloody con
lirinatiou of all that had been related.
I shall not attempt to portray tho in
tense excitement, tho wild rago and cmi
stornation, which this daring murder oe
casioned. Everyman felt that, if the
assassin escaped without his just punish
inent, there would no longer bo security
ior any one in our hitherto peaceful and
1 met valley.and solemn oaths wero taken
to hang thu wretch if found, upon tho
nearest tree. A largo reward was otter
ed for his detection, anil every gambler
that had over been seen about thero was
nioro or less suspected; and I buliovo that
had anv man been arrested on the I ol
lowing day, ho would have been hun
first and tried afterward. I said less than
any, for I had my own suspicions, anil I
contrived my plot in sjcret, making
confident of no one.

On tho second afternoon following tho
tragedy, almost every individual lu thu
vicinity, tho friend of tho murdered man
among tho rest, assembled at my stoic at
my particular request. I had told them
I had something to communicato con
corning tho foul tleod, nml tlisiiJI thought

clue lo tho assassin,

"And now, gentlemen," I continued,
"I hold in my hand as suro a test as any

ne'ver saw a nioro wretched and ghastly

Uoiuiniinity which ho created, that Uni

ment from the world, and that, whether
by an abuso of tho practices nt Oneida
or not, some degree of tho depravity
which culminated in the murder of Pres
ident Garfield is traceable to tho murder
er's stay with tho singular people whoso
leader and peculiarities of belief and life
lorm tho subject ot this bnct sketch.
Wo will, first of all, give an account
of Noyes, tho enthusiast, wlioso strong
individuality was tho sourco and the
tountaiti ot ltto to 1'erlectionisni, by
which general nanio tho principles of tho
Oneida Community are known.
John Humphrey Noyes was born nt
Hrattleboro, Vt., m the year 1811. His
parents were in good circumstances, and
rehned people, and their son early gave
promise ot tho capacity lor a studious
and devout life. After receiving his do
gree at Dartmouth oollege, young Noyes
read law for a while, but tho bent of his
mind was towards theology and tho lifo
of a foreign missionary. Accordingly
ho relinquished the law and began tho
study of theology at Andover, from
whenco ho removed to Yalo.
At New Haven, Conn., he encountered
n rovivalistic teacher, who found in him
a disciple apt to fanaticism and with tho
originality and the strength of will to
give it a new direction and to make it
aggressive and ot moment in that
most wonderful chapter of history which
tells tho varied and complex talo of tho
struggle of universal human nature to bo
right with God. Mr. Noves was about
twenty-three vears of ago when, as ho
expressed it, lie "landed in a new exper
ience and now views of the way of sal
vation, which took the name of perfect
ionism." This experience was succeeded
bv his removal to Putney, Vt., where
his father then resided, and was in busi
ness as a banker. Thero ho preached
and wrote and published for several
years, and in 18:13, when twenty-seven
old, married Harriet A. Ilolton, a young
lady of good family, who had been pre
viously influenced to adopt his peculiarly
religious views. It is by no meaii3 re
markable that tho young teacher's prin
ciples were adopted but slowly. In 1S47
his congregation numbered only about
10 persons Ho was in correspondence,
however, with people far and near, who
recognized in him their leader. Two
years before this date, Noves' views of
tile relations of the sexes had been pub
lislied, and, in 1810, lie was at the head
of a small community at Putney, from
whence local persecution drove him in
1818 to settle witli a number of followers
at Oneida, Madison county, N. Y. The
place of settlement was very uninviting,
consisting ot torty acres ot land, an tin
painted frame house, an old Indian hut
and an Indian saw-mill. This hole! move
preceded the practical adoption of com
lnunism by a number of people of llrook-
lyn, N. Y. Communities under Noyes'
direction were also begun at Wallingford
comprising nn elaborate system of com
mittco work, mutual co-oporatiou and
criticism destined to answer both for tho
perfection of labor undertaken and oi
nnrflnnnl rrlmr.ip.tnr. Tho Hiblo was re
garded ns "tho text-book of tho Spirit of
Truth.'
Go.l and good spirits wero behoved to
bo in constnnt communication with the
faithful. Prayer was restricted to tlio
individual and silent aspiration towards
the Dicty, nnd to tho child-liko repre
sentation of wants which faith behoved
would bo granted without limitation or
obstruction from tho operation of natu
ral laws or oilier causes. There- was no
preaching and the administration of tho
sacraments and tho obligation of tho
the Sabbath wero not observed. No
member of tlio community had temporal
interest in nny way separable from those
of his brethren and sisters. Tho com
munistic idea was thoroughly carried
out,cxtending. as wo have seen, to tho
relations of flic sexes.
Tlint such an organization should havo
been originated and should have nour
ished to t.ie elcatli ot tuo singular man
who founded it is a remaiknblc instanco
of tho supremacy which a man of deep
convictions and strong will can acquire.
With tho death of Noyes a few years
ago the mainstay of tho organization do-
parted, i erieeiioiiistii, us hi; wujjm
died witli its first and last great teacher.

His success, tlio lecturer thought, was
owing to his overwhelming humor,
which made his audiences laugh at their
own dearest croeels. "And I believe,"
continued Mr. Burdctte, seriously, whilo
his audience was hushed, "I believe
Colonel Ingcrsoll's position is sound."
Thero was a moment' hesitation, and all
the tittering stopped. "I know," contin
ued the Bpcakcr, "it isn t tuo thing lo say

himself resided, tho property of both
