THE MURDERER'S ORDEAL
I was fond of the science of physi
ognomy. From my youth up, I was
noted for my proclitviy for rending
the oharketer of a man from his face;
and I finally became such an adept
in the art, that I could occasionally
guess the very thoughts of the indi
vidual whose . countenance I was
studying.
Soon after the gold fever broke out,
I went to California; and there I
must confess, among what else there
was to interest me, I had a grand op.
portunity for exercising my skill up
on all sorts of faces, seen under all
sorts of circumstances, from the high
est triumph of success to the deep
est despair of failare:'tried
my luck at digging old myself, but
soon tired of that, and believing 1
could make money faster and with
less labor, I opened a kind of grocery
and provision store, and went regu
larly into the business of trade, buy
ing most of my articles at Sacra
mento, getting them hauled to my
quarters, and disposing of them at a
fair advance, to the miners . and
others.
My store, a's t di4nified my place of
trade, consisted of a rude skeleton of
poles, with a suffideney of cheap
muslin drawn over them and pinned
down to the earth, and was stocked
only with the most Saleable articles,
of Which float., pork; and whiskey

and such,-,another conglomeration of
white, blank and red—such another

outside the limits of California. Of
course I bad a chance to study all
sorts of faces to my heart's content,
but having, as I have.said,, become an

siness he came on—got what-- he
wanted when I was disengaged, paid
for what begot like a gentleman, and
generally retired with an ordinary
"Good day," or some similar civility.
And yet as I have said, he began to

began to wonder why. Was it be

in s ome way ; arid the very fact, per

After this I prolonged his visits as
long as I could without causing him

ever evinced a man of mind and edu
cation, and I began to give him credit
,for being a thinker—perhaps a prae-
Vpal and selfish dreamer, if I may
utieli, paradoxical term that best ex
presses my idea. -
One day, I scarcely know how I
touched livon the general supersti-
Lions of mankind, and to my surprise,
saw at last he was interested. - His
eye changed ex'prespion, and bright

No wonder I had not been able 'to
read him before; the man bad fegen
wearing an impenetrable mask.
I now had the key of the inyste'6',
and to him, and I used it. He was
interested in superstition—was super.
etitious himself. Why? Good men may
be superstitious---bad men always
are, because they carry a hell of wild
fancies within them. Thus it was,
with this man, as I could see -by his
eye, and I.made his fancies work up._
on him. I told him stories of sorcery,
witchcraft and magic—of ghost, hob
goblins and 'devils—till he became
pale with fear, breathed with com
pressed lips, and trembled in spite of
his great nerve and skill.

not come as often as be did before,
and- ii'e'ver rene i Wed, the conversation
that had "so agitated him, and never
in fact, entered into any other- thai
he could ibty avoid. I kept my
thoughts to myself, but made some
casual inquiries about him, and learn
ed that he had been so fortunate as to
secure a capital "lead," from which
his partner, another young man, he
was taking out giild in quantities that
bromised to enrich both, and tha t
oth had thk mind will and esteem of
all who kneiv them.
One dark p l ight, about three or ffttis
weeks aftei this I was txtaiiied 'arid
cries of—
"Murder ! murder'! help help !"
I jumped, seized my revolver, and
dartethout into the .open air The
cries and screams still continued,
coming from atend of the river about
a hundred rods below. In a minute
I was ;joining five others, all well arm.
ed, and together we ran as hard as we
could to tho place from which the a
larm proceed. When we arrived
there, at least thirty men were col:
lected in and around the tent of the
dark man I have been describing, and
he himself it was who had given tho
alarm. His partner sad companion
had been murdered, Mid rcibbeit, and
liiixieelf had Wert slightly out a

It was some time before we could

taken a large bag of gold from under

On the Beeond afterriaon following
the tragedy", almost °eery individual
in the vicinity, the friend of the rnali
&red man among the rest, assembled
at.my store, at my particular 'request.
I had told them I had' something to
communicate concerning the foul deed,
and I thought it not. unlikely I should
give them some clue to the assassin.
When all . had collected, and ar
ranged themselves, as I had directed,
in a semicircle before my door—es.-
ger, expectant, excited—l carne for

Then I mede them a short speech on
the superstitions of mankind, which
I contended had their origin in mys
terious facts revealed from. the other
world by God's goed providence for
the protection of the innocent and
the punishment of the guilty, and
among other. things I mentioned how

AB i chid this, I fixed my face upon
the diti,ir visitor, my suspected man.
I never saw a more wretched and
ghastly Countenance, nor it. geeitter
struggle in any living being to keep
a calm and' unmoved e3coeriar.
The egg began its round. Some
took it gravely, some lightly,'soine
turned slightly pale, and some laugh

came nearer and nearer to the man
for whom it was inteni:l.efk.- : " could

made one desperate effort to be calm

The next nichnent it was _crushed
to atoms, and his hands were wet

A wild yell burst from the crowd.
A despairing shriek came from -the
lips of the guilty wretch; and falling
rather than sinking down upon his

though he will be lost- te the view of

iniirriiige with Danish ;Princess, nor

Windsor; ; but the reasons for his ate.

VitePrinee of Waies is already mar

at the ;present moment,
and, indeed, for the - last six months
has been, married to a fair sulte,et.
The, en thriller,
_of tb e Pritice's heart
and recipient of his troth is a beauti
ful young Hibernian lady whom he
met and fell in love with during the
period of military training at the
Curragh of Kildare in Ireland, where
hie Royal. Highness bad appropriated
.to him, a littlereinnved from the main
line of telly Which formed, the en
campment, a neat hut with a pretty
little garden attached to it. Though
he had everything to make him com
`fortable there, during the idle days
and long evenings, he sometimes can
tered off to see some of the leading
gentry of Kildare, whose demesnes
fringe the great plain on which the
Prince was stationed. To one of
those houses in particular, and which
was inhabited by a family of ancient
and almost historic standing, his 1
horse's head was oftenest turned; and
his visits became so frequent that'
they ceased to be formal.
Nothing was suspected by.
,the
Prince's mentors, until one afternoon
two young ladies galloped over the
green sward, pulling,np. in front of
the Prince's hut, and, the alacrity
with which he came out to meet them,
and his particular manner`-to the
younger one, attracted the attention
of an officer in hit 4 rank who hap
pened at the moment to be calling on
the Prince, and who, being a veteran
in love as well as in war, fancied ike
saw something more than the . mere
polite'aiss of a young Prince to a
lady. The visits were repeated, and
they were also seen riding about the
country.. However, to cut a long
story short, in a Certain little church
not many miles from Newbridge, (the
next‘tontn to• the Curragh) there werei
one morning, united in matrimony
two, young people, one of whom was
the lady in question, and the other
the Heir Apparent to the throne of
Great Britain, the only other parties
present being, besides the clergyman,
a brother officer of the Prince and
the bride's brother.
The late lamented Prince Consort
was made aware of the fact just be
fore quitting Ireland, when they visi•
ted the lakes of _Killarney in the au

up in. this beautiful Irish bride is the
Prince, that this journey of his to the
East, which was determined, upon be
pre the Prince Consort's death, was
piaggeeted by, the .faXter as ,a means
of weaning him fret ,"his foolish at
tech merit," upon the principle of "out
of sight out of mind." But nothing
will do; the young Prince's "heart,
unt;raveled, fondly turns" towards a
certain old mansion on fhe confines of
the Curragh,and :which holds "what

NARROW ESCAPE OF GEN. FITZ
JOIPT - PORTER IN A BALLOON.
FN IDANP, Brpt.Rz Tan INTRINCRURNTB AT
YORKTOWN, Va., April 11,1861
The mg event of the day has
been ; a balloon reconnoissance by
Gen:: Fitz Sohn Porter on a scale of
larger magnitude than wits in,

General Porter took his place in Fro.

one anci.a plane in this,, as was afteri.

by Vitilol,.iised hi generating gas.—
Taking his seat in the car, unaccom
panied by any' one, the rope was let
(nit to nearly its full length—the
length is about nine hundred yards--
when suddenly snap went the cord•
and up went the ON Itgs
44 tin eipected pai‘tof the . Pkograune.
rrhe men Celow looked up ,with aston
ishment, and, the General looked
down with equal bewilderment.
"Open the valVe," shouted one of
the men below.
"I'll manage it," responded the
Geijesal.
Up went the balloon higher; Eigli

huge form lessened as it.w U 1370061-

wind was taking it in the direction of
the enemy's territory. By this time
every staff officer and%hundreds of I
others were looking at the moving
speck. It is impossible to -describe
the anxiety ?eit and expressedfor tbe
fate or him, the central object of
thought, in that far, away : %moving

of eaviarT, led by Captain Locke,
Lieutenant McQuade, of the General's
staff, plunge, spurs into their horses
and dash away in the direction of the
descending balloon. The rest of the
story la aBl received it from the Gen.
oral's own lips. While the rope was
being- played out he adjusted, his glass
loyeaokiness for his proposed view of
the ekeihy's territory. A sudden
Pound of the ballOon told him in a mo
ment-that the rope had given way.—
Es dropped his glass; heard the call,
"Open the valve," made the response
given above and set about looking for
the valve. He wall - sensible of being
flighty (the General loves a pun as
well as , the next one,) but• was not at
all nervous. Resew the wind bid ta
ken him QVOT the line oi the rebel in
trenehments., Raving no wish to drop
in among 'them he let the valve take
care antUlf; and proceeded •to take
advantampit his position to note :the
aspect of rebel• objects below. CrOvOe
of soldiers rushed from the woodS, end
he heard their shouts diseinctlY.--
Luckily he was above the reach of
their bullets,so he was not afraid on
this score. The map of the country
was distinctly discernable. He saw
Yorktown and its vrorks„ York river
and its' windings, and Norfolk and its
smoking chimneys. A counter, cur
rent of air struck the balloon, and its
course was reversed. 'lts retreat from
over rebeldom was raphY. .:'HQopen
ed the valve, the gas
...eacaped„ and
down he came...He mild not say how
fast he came down, but it was with a
rapidity he would, not are to have re.
peated. The Car atiruck the top of a
shelter tent--under which, luckily, no
one4appened to be at the time—knock
ed the tent into pi, and left him en
veloped in a mass of collapsed oil silk.
He crawled out and found himself in
the middle of .a camp, not one hun
dred rods from General McClellan's
headquarters.
"I came mounted, you see," was his
remark to General kurqs, who was a.
hotit the first
~man by hls Mle. He
gave the details of his aerial voyage
to General Burns, who, seeing the op
portunity of getting off a joke, could
not lose the opportunity.
"You are a suspicious character,"
remarked General Burns.
"Bow so?" asked Gen. Porter.
.(In the space of half on hour you
Twig been" taken xfp* by a balloon and
v:rrested.by.a Shelter tent."
"And you have come down safe I
see," broke in Capt. Locke, before the
laughter at Gen. Burn's duet of puns;
came vKitlr this cavalry company
to look yqu up."
"You. ought to have sent flying. ar
tillery After. die'," rejoined General
Porter.
am, Mr.. , W. H. Russell, has writ
ten disparagingly of the American
army; now lot me tel you what he
said, in the sincerity of his heart, to
a friend of mine. A Pennsylvania
regiment was passing his window and
th,e twain were looking at the, troops,
whereupon Dlr. Russel spoke in sub•
stance as follows:—"Not in England
or France, not it Italy, Russia or In
dia have I ever seen such well•pro.
portionett-and healthy men, and all
.things considered, ouch . splendid ma
terials for - an army as are presented
by that regiment, which is in reality
only 'an average specimen of the
American forces generally. The com
mon food of your troops is such that
no . European soldiers ever receive,
and what is Wasted in your camps
would feed an- immenSe army finder
the ecottinlieril . management of
French or Russian generals; and
while few European soldiers receive
more than a sixpense per day, the
rank and file of the American army
receive the pr.ncely pay of thirte,en
dollars per month. And considering .
the short time that your army, has
seen in existence, its present eilic,ien,
,
dy is tome a marvel.' Thesc opin
ions were sincere arid not uttered for
effect, and it is a pity, for his own
sake, that Ur: Russell did not write
more frequently in this strain.

INQUIRY ANSWERED
TANNING SKIN -1 4 , ITH THE HAIR OR FUR
H. D. It.' of Shenango county N.
Y., wishes to know how to tan skins with
the fur on. 1 will give him. my plan as
follows . - • '
andi tick the „skin, spreading
ithoothly ;. scrape off at loose and fatty
substances, then work in plenty of com
mon chalk, rubbing hard with a round
ended stick; cover it well and lay it by
in a dry place until the chalk pulverizes ;
then brush off the chalk and rub in, plenty
of finely powdered roil it up dry
as possible for a feW daYS, when all will
be soft, pliable and durable.
Another correspondent says :
In answer to 'H. D. li,' concerning
hides with the fur on, I would say that
all small hide's under ,sheePskins, sheep
skins include cart be tanned very nicely
by &ilk; a i Stsong solution of equal 'quan:
tities of alum and salt dissolved in mode
rately hot water, and applied to the clean
side of the skins by the use of a tz;sh ;
after which, roll up, the fur side out, and
lay - away for four or five days, when the
tanning will be completed. Alter which
they must be rolled and worked, in order
to make them soft.
C A NNON APING AND RAlN.—Experience
shows that the discharge of heavy artillery
is usually followed by rain. , The battles
of the French armies were succeeded by
copious rains, that; rendered small streams
bripe'siable, and et the t)attle of Solferipo,
a storm of such fierceness arose that the
conflict was suspended. The same result
attended the battles of our present
After General McClellan's four different
battles there were heavy. rains. the ful
lowing days respectively, and General
Beauregard, in his recent report of Bull
Run, says that he was prevented from fol.,
lowing up hi 3 victory by the heavy rains
on the folloWins , days. At Fort Doneisou
the bombardment op ,Friday was followed
by a rain on Saturday. ,

sas yesterday r conveys the information to
a swain in the rebel army that his. sweet•
heart. had cut off her hair, and that all the
girls In reiStittite.had, perform
