THE ISDKPEWIF.XT FARMER.
Let sailors sin of wltitly rleetf.
Let soldiers praise their armor;
lint In my heart this toast ITI keep
Ti.e independent farmer.
W hen first the rose in robe of groeu
I'nlolds Its crimson lining;
And round his cottage porch is seen
The honeysuckle climbing-;
When hanxsof bloom their sweetness t-teld
To bees that (rather honey.
He drives his team across the fleid,
W hen skies are soft and sunny.
The black bird clucks behind the p!oV3
The quail pipes loud and clearly,
l on orchard hids behind Its bouirhs,
The home he loves so dearly ;
The irray and ild barn doors unfold.
His ample store in measure.
More rich than heaps of hoarded Rold,
A precious, blessed tieasure;
While yonder in the porch there stands
His wire, the lovely charmer.
The sweetest rose on all his lands
The independent larmcri
To him the spring comes dancinjrlys,
To him the summer blushes.
The au umn smile with yellow raj'.
His sleep old winter lUlshos.
He cares not how the World may move
No doubts or fears cottfrtUttt! him.
His little flock it linked in love.
And hoiiseholo i n- U round him.
He trusts to Cod ami iovc s his wifev
Nor irriefs or ill may harm her.
He's nature's nobleman in life

K STOttt TOLD RY PETKItS. THE AEW YORK
DKTKCTIVE.
One dtiy, In tlie pi insr of 18G8. I w .is sit
ting in my t.Jhrie in Broadway, 'etv Yolk,
nieilita nig what to do. Business hid not
Ix'cn In isk lattly with the firm of Peters fc
Henry, private detectives. Cr.nie. was on
ilio increase, s t he newspapers said ; but
it waa the smt of crime that- did not come
within our province. Il all, went lo the
reyttlar detectives, none of whom, in tny
humble opinion I say this without A mm
sel of envy can come any where near either
ilauy or myself in ''working up' a big
case.
lr want of something better to do, I
took up Ihe moi'iiius; paper, and gttiticed at
it. A line iu display - ii letter caught my
''yc .
"A Human Fiend.'"
1 lead the ait idc beaded ilni's to di
cover ttbo the "Human Fiend" was. I
lound the ailicle to be an account of n se
i les of really atrocious murders committed
in a little town iu West Virginia, not a
hundred miles from I'ai kersburg. Three
men had been found dead, with alxmt an
interval of it week between each death, iu
either their shops or Louses. Ivicli man
had nppaienily met bis death iu the same ( mo ever since I had been in the village
of cards or bottle of ture whiskey. I
wasn't sorry ; and out would come the
tumbleiB every lawyer's office in West Vir
ginia lias a full supply of tumblers and
then the fun wolild begin and last till din
ner time, the same thing repeated Hi the
afternoon. In the evening we ''loafed"
iu the bar-mom of the hotel, and talked
over the newr.
in the meantime, mind yon, I bad kept
my eyes open, and bad not beeii idle. I
had heard all the particulars of the mur
ders (Yom the. people who were the first to
discover the bodies. I learned one little
circumstance connected with the first affair,
that, bad 1 been on the spot at the time,
would have given a sure clue to the villain !
The murderer bad slept iu the bbaal ot bib
victim, and left a clear bhaaly footprint
iHn the floor. The f'.ols allowed this to
be trampled over by the Crowd rtl'Ji Itibbed
out ; when, if they bail measured it and
made instant search for the nhoe wi.li the
marks of blood upon it, ten chances to one
they'd have spotted the man.
I spoke of this in the bar-room one night,
when conversation turned utoii the subject.
I confess T was rather heated with whisky,
and detective though F am, tongue at such
times wages a little Iihj freely. I said ihe
police officers weie a rrere set of fools;
that if I'd have been there, and had seen
the footprint, I'd have spotted the man
who made it wiihiti two bouts. This was
it bold assertion, of cotnse; atrrt King Whis
ky was at the bottom of it. Yet, though I
was Hushed with liquor, my natural cun
ning was in the sjieech. All the young
fellows in the room would only legaut it as
an idle boast ; but if the murderer beard
it, or of it, be would naturally seek me, to
find out why 1 made such a boast. Yult
see, I reckon, a little on human uatnie.
The conversation went on loud and
boisterous around me, when I r-uddenly
became aware tliat a pair rf eyes were
looking at me, and yet not so that 1 Could
see them, le.it I could tell them. I jumped
at ihe conclusion at once that but one
man bad ii-bshh to look at mo with ryes of
aimer, and tbat man was the murderer,
whose apprehensions would iiaturall. be
excited by my boast. Now to catch ihe
eye without a'tttniiiig the owner. Mr.
lacksou was mi me te.u ot me the eyes
were on the left of me. I felt it, thoiioh I

They were in t lie bead of a man a man
in :he common tanks of life, who mingled
not with the gentlemen I was drinking
with, nni who I had noticed bad avoided

.similar weapon- -Una weapon stitking I lie
heaci and cutting into the i- u i i j-isi Oeiiind
the ear. lu all these ca-es t i: one blow
had been iivcn ; no other inailvid' vi ilence
was upon ihe bodies, and ueaili U,u vvi
dctr.ly occurred almost iiihtaully aftei I lie
'low. The account of these iiiuideis was
veiy well wiiiieii, and gave the full par-
ild at ' liculars. 1 lie murdered men evideuily
bad fallen by the same band and by the
smie weapon. Robbery was apparently
the moiive, as I he victims bad been telieved
of tlu-ir watches and pocket books; and yet
the amount of the booty obtiiincel by ihe
monstrous dime was small iu the extreme.
One man, a poor shoemaker, was said by
his tile lo have bad but three dollars iu
his pocket ; another, a tailor by ,.rde, bad
but a lew pence ; but from the thiid vic
.ini, the keeper of a gio.ery stoic, the mur
derer was supposed tt have obtained about
iwnny dollars, as the grocer was known to
h ive that amount with him about an hour
befoie the minder. The writttr summed
up the article by declaring it to be the be
lief of the inhabitants of the little town
that il was not plunder alone, but love of
IiIimh), that could induce a seiies of such
hoi till crimes ; and Ibat a human fiend was
iu their midst, whose appetite craved blood,
and blood alone.
I read the article over carefully, and
pondered on it. l'ei baps you'll think I'm
interesting mjself greatly about an affair
that don' i concern me; but when I tell
you thai at Ihe bottom of the newspaper
article which contained the account of Ihe
minder, i sta ed that Ihe Hovenior of West
Virginia bad ollVred a reward of 100 for
Hi-, arrest of Ihe miiif'.erei, as it was plain
there was but one band concerned it,
you w ill quickly see that it did interest me.
in fact I had made up my mind to put my
t'n me is on that $"'. K.
2S o soone r thought of than I'tesulved to
set about it. My plan of ac.ion was ex
tremelv simple. I must gotoC , not as
a detective, but upon some business which
mi me theie at least a month,
old miiiolu with the inhabitants,
and l u i. sue my invefc'-igalion without ex-
ci ing any suspicion. I resolved to make
my Hpearsnce in the town in the charac
ter of a young lawyer studying for the bar,
and coinitiK down there fot peace and quiet
to pursue bis studies. I knew a Utile about
the law. loo: so I could keep the character
very well. As for a disguise, I slaved off
my moustache, cut c.ti' my light locks, and
sporleri my best brown wig. I've got a
collection of wigs, by "be way, that would
make au actor go wild with joy.
I went to a legal friend of mine Miat I
once pulled through a "lac-y" sciape. I
thought bo might know some of the law
yers in C , which proved to be the case.
So, armed with a letter of introduction from
him, ami a choice assortment of law books
from bis library, I took the train for the
scene .f my future operation.
I found C a nice, pleasant little vil
lage, situated on the Ohio river, and divid
ed by a lil t ie stream which came down
from the interior, and emptied into the
Ohio here.
I called on Mr. Jackson, the lawyer, to
whom I bad letters of introduction, and
found him a fine specimen of the Virginia
gentleman, whose only fault seemed to
consist of drinking enormous quantities of
whisky, and bragging of their town and
adjoining cttfriitry. After I bad taken a
liilloollice in the main street, the lawyet
insisted ujam my stopping with him ; and
I began to get acquainted with the people.
I must confess I never enjoyed myself bet
ter in my life ; for a mote wbole-sotiled,
generous lot of gentlemen, in spite of their
bragging propensiMea, hai the ones who
live on the West Virginian b;nk of the
Ohio, don't exist in this w o; :i.
.My daily life that for Ihe. iiist two weeks
I passed io this little village, was nlaKt
the same. After breakfast I weiv t my
office lo "study" law ; but piecions little
study I did 1 for some of the young fellow,
or nne of the old tines I knew everybody
within five miles in two days would drop
dei. J lin
whie-h are
two story
although I rarely came in contact with
him a man who sat by the fire on the op
posite side of the room, and w:-is looking
at use with eyes that trembled and dilated
like I host; of a cat- about to spring. The
rest of Ihe face showed no sijti of emotion.
Iu my own mind I said, ''There's the
man I want. I" I fell so sure of this that
I'd have staked ten years i f my life upon
it. The thought Hashed into my mind th; t
a man v. hobiid hitherto had avo.ded me
(why, I knew not, no less he possessed the
selfsame instinct that I hatii, would now
seek me'.
"To-morrow," I said to myself, "I'll find
out about your shoemaker I" For the
young fellow who Mist saw the bleaaly
foot-prints had examined it carefully, and
had given me a ptelty g xal description of i
it; he of course not I hiuking '.hat I took j
moielhau a common interest iu the sub- .:
ject. 1 he foot pi bit was .1 81 1 ange oil--, too
broad for its length, and in my mind's ee
I could S':e the shoe that made it, for I was
confident, from the description, that the
mnidcrer wore a shoe.
Casually I glance down at. the feet of the
man who looked at me ami whom I had
sKiited, He bad on bonis, long and tiar-r-w,
but Ihe toes were curled tip asthouoh
the boots weie much too la roe, and the
extra length would of course make the
bad look slimmer.
The partv majn bioko up, and I went
home to bed J but all night long, iu my
(beams, I was having a teriible light wtill
Ihe mini with the eyes.
In the morning I took a boot and went
to the shoemaker's, a tininian, to get it1
nibiided. While theie I enleied into fcon
veisasion with him about the weather and
things in geueiah He wna veiy fconimuni
cativc, and I picked tip a gtHai bit of in
formation. On one of the shelves of the
shop I saw a shoe, neatly mended walling
for the owner to come ami take it a shoe
quite broad, and too short for the breadth.
The other shoe, the companion to the one
on Ihe shelf, made the bloody print tbat t
have spoken of. As I came out of the
pIioji, I became suddenly conscious Ibat
I I.e. "eyes" were again ujmui it. I did not
l.aik to see wheie I hey were. I was satis
fied the tuuideter bad seen me leftte t ire
shop. He would guess the ol.j.-ct tif my
visit there, and he would come and see me
soon, lo find out what be ban learned, and
then I.d put the "bracelets" iihii him.
They were jingling merrily together in my
coat acket as I walked on.
After dinner I walked down to my office.
I bad made no preparation foi my expected
visitor, except putting a "life-preserver,"
into niy coat pocket.
In my office I wheeled my chair round
with its back to the door, and my face to
the ha. king-glass which bung tin the wall
befoie me, that commanded a view of the
room ; so, iu reality, I bad eyes befoi e and
behind.
Tr while away the time, till my bird
should come for come I knew he would
4 took down my "I'liuiinal Crises." I
open at tandom. The page at which I
opened contained an account of the trial of
n Frenchman, in one of the interior French
provinces, for Hie murder of ten little
children whom he bad decoyed simply inio
a wood, and there killed, apparently for
no other purpose, than to enjoy Ihe pleas
ure of seeing them die" The proof against
htm was positive, and be was executed;
the account wound up by saying be was
literally a "Human Fiend."
I beard a sound upon the stairs. Ho
was cominir. I sprang the handcuffs open
in my pocket. The step was light anil
soft. The door opened, and the (Jer
man shoemaker appeared willi my Imot !
"Your boot, sir I" he said, in bis broken
English,
"A light; set it down," I said, without
turning round.
Then, by meatiji of the looking class, I
saw the cat like ej'es gleaming over my
shonlde.i ; a band, holding aloft, a small
keen-edged hatchet, was raised to strike.
I sprang forward. The hatchet descended
grazed the side of my head, chopping off a
little piece of Ihe skin, tbe closest shave I
with him. wrested thb hatchet from his
band, nnd sent it wbirlinsr across the toon.
For a moment lie seemed powerless, par
alyzed at bis failure then as bis strength
catne back, I found tbat I would be but
as a child iu the hands of the powerful
German ; so I slipped out of his grasp,and
as life rttxhed at me, I struclc him a power
ful "left banded" on the uose. Tbe blow
sent him spinning. oerss the room, ancl
covered his face with blood. This was a
style of fight ing that he was not used to.
With a howl, be catlleled himself up
and dashed t brought he door. I followed,
shouting "Stop bim !" at the top of my
lungs, and at Inst we ran bim to earth in
bis lair, the shoerriakers shop. As t lie
reader has probably guessed, the man with
the cat's eyes, the murderer, and tbe Ger
man shoemaker Were one.
He was quickly secured. In the back
room of bis shop we found tbe shoe with
Ihe marks of blood Hried upon the sole

remove the stain and the watches ami

killing.
Afterwards, !ien I visited him in jail,
he told me that, fitim the moment, be llrsi

bring bim to justice, and he bad deter
mined to kill me with the same weapon,

An Ikbkmoi's Map. About the first of
January, 187G, Prof. Hitchcock, of the Ge
ological Survey, and his assistants beean
Ihe construction of a raised map of New
Hampshire, the design of which was to
combine all the present knowledge of the
geography of the State which had leen ob
tained iu the geological survey made by
Pi of. Hitchcock, Prof. Hunt iupdon, and
othein. This map has Just been completed
and placed in the State House.
The map is fourteen feet ten inches long,
representing 78 miles in length (being con
structed oil a scale of one mile to the inch)
and ninety llnee miles in width, from the
mouth of the I'iscilnqna river to the north
west corner af Hinsdale, showing the er.
tire surface of the State, 9,386 square miles.
It also shows all the rivers and brooks,
oiids and lakes, hills and mountains, and
Ike town lines, railroads, etc. The names
of all he cili'"s and towns, livers and priii
cipnl brooks, lakes and ponds, mountains
and hih elevations, are given conspicuous
ly, so ili.il anyone can find at a glance
what they th sire to look up. The height
of the hills and. mountains is given on a
scale of one inch to one thousand feet,
and actual measurements arc given where
know ii.
The map Is constructed of pino and bass;
wood, and the process of work was this:
A map was first drawn on paper of the same
size as the raised map, wi b all tbe on lines
of towns, streams, ponds, etc., and contour
lines for each five hundred feel weredtawii.
Tracings of I he contour lines were made on
inch layers of pine and bass boards, main
t nininiiiij ns accurately as possible the tela
tive sine and shape. These weie fastened
upon each other, and the valleys weie bev
eled out with chisels. Concord Monitor.

large Hocks of geese wbict are constantly
passing over the town are frequently shot
at, but they generally fly at too high an
altitude to be reached by the leaden mis

a llock flying southward, when the report
of a gun was beard and we observed one
of tbe geese begin to fall slowly The
others, perceiving that their conuade was
wounded, uttered shrill cries of distress,
about a doen of them flew under the

their backs formed a sort of a bed upon
