MIMIC IN CAMP.
BY JOHN n. Tnottraorr.
Two armies covered 11111 and plain,
Where Rappahannook's waters,
Ran deeply crimsoned with the stain
Of battle's recent slaughters.
The summer clouds lay pitched like tents
• :n meads of heavenly azure;
And each dread gun of tho elements
Slept in lie hid embrasure,
The breeze so softly blew it made
No forest leaf to quiver,
And the smoke of the random canonado
Roiled slowly from the river,
And now, where circling hills look down,
With cannon grimlyplanted,
O'er listless camp anti silent town,
The golden sunset slanted.
When on the fervid alethere came
A strain, now rich, now tonder ;
The music seemed itself a flame
With day's departing splendor.
A Federal band, which eve and morn
Played measures bravo and nimble,
lied lust struck up with flute and horn
And lively clash of cymbal.
Down flocked the soldiers to the banks,
Till margined by its pebbles,
One wooded shore was Clue with " Yanks,"
And ono was gray with " rtebels,"
Than all was still and then the baud,
With movements light and tricksy,
Made stream and forest hill and strand,
Reverberate with "Dixie."
The conscious stream,With burnished glow,
Went proudly o'er ite pebbles,
But thrilled throughout Its deepest flow,
With yelling of the Rebels.
Again a pause, and then again
The trumpets penled sonorous,
Aud Ynnkee Doodle was the strait]
To which the;ohore gave chorus.
The laughing ripple shoreward flew
To kiss the shining pebbles;
Loud shrieked tile swarming Boys In Blue
Defiance to the Rebels.
And yet once more the bugles sting
Above the stormy riot;
No shout upon the evening rang—
There reigned a holy quiet.
The sad, low stream Its noiseless trend
Poured o'er the glistening pebbles;
And silent now the 'Yankees stood,
And silent stood theltebels.
No unrosponalve soul had heard .
That plaintive note's appealing,
Ho deeply Home, Hwcet Home, bud stirred

Mow Peebles Asked the Oki Man.
BY JOHN QUILL
Peebles had Just asked Mr. Merri
weather's dam/liter if she would give
him a lift out of bachulordom, and she
had said "yes." It therefore became
absolutely necessary to get the old man's
permission, so as Peebles said, that ar
rangements might be made for hopping
the conjugal twig.
Peebles said he'd rather pop the In
terrogatory to all of old Merrlweather's
daughters, and his sisters, and his
female cousin, and his aunt Hannah In
the country, and the whole of hie
female relations, than ask old Muni
weather. But It had to be done, and so
he sat down and studied out a speech
which he was going to disgorge to old
Merrlweather the very first chance he
got to shy It at him. So Peebles:drop
ped in on him one Sunday evening,
when all the family had meandered
around to'class-meeting, and found him
doing a mum In beer measure, trying to
calculate the exact number of quarts his
Interior could hold without blowing the
head off of him.
"How are you, Peeb ?" said old Mer
rlweather,as Peebles walked hi as white
as a piece of chalk, and trembling as if
ho had swallowed a condensed earth
quake. Peebles was afraid to answer,
because he wasn't sure about that
speech. He knew lie had to keep his
grip on it while he had it there, or it
would slip away from him quicker than
an oiled eel through an augur hole. So
he blurted right out:
"Mr. Merriweather, sir: Perhaps it
may not bounknown to you, sir, that
during an extended period of some five
years, I have been busily engaged in
the prosecution of a commercial enter-
prise—"
"Is that so, and keeplu' It secret all
the time, while I thought you was
tendin' store. Well, by George, you're
one of 'em, now, ain't you?"
Peebles had to begin all over again,
to got the run of It.
" Mr. Merrlweather, sir: Perhaps it
may not be unknown to you that dur
ing an extended period of some five
years, I have been engaged In the pros
ecution of a commercial enterprise, with
a determination to procure a sufficient
maintenance—"
"Sit down, Poch, and help yourself
to beer. Don't stand there holding
your hat like a blind beggar with the
paralysis. What's the matter with you,
any way? I never seen you behave
yourself so in all my born days."
Peebles was knocked out again, and
had to wander back and take a fresh
start.
"Mr. Merrl weather, sir: It may not
be unknown to.you that during au ex
tended period of some five years, I have
been engaged in the prosecution of a
commercial enterprise, with the deter
mination to procure a sufficient main
tenance—"
"A whloh.ance?" asked old Merrl
weather ; hut Peebles held on to the last
word as if it was his only chance, and
went on :
"In the hope that some day I might
enter wedlock, and bestow my earthly
possessions upon one whom I could call
my own. I have been a lonely man,
sir, and have felt that It is not good for
man to be alone; therefore—"
"Neither is it, Peebles ; and I'm all
fired glad you dropped iu. How's the
old man ?"
" Mr. Merriweather, sir," said Peebles,
In despairing confusion, raising his voice
to a yell, "It may not be unknown to
you that, during au extended period of
a lonely man, I have been engaged to
enter wedlock, and bestow all my com
mercial enterprise on one whom I could
procure a determination to be good for
sullicient possessions—no, I mean--
that is—that Mr. Merriweather, sir, It
may not be unknown—"
" .And then again it may. Look here,
Peebles you'd better lay down and take
something warm : you ain't well,"
Peebles, sweating like a four-year-old
colt, went In again :
" Mr. Merriweather, air: It may not
be lonely for you to prosecute me whom
you can call a friend for commercial
maintenance, but—but—oh, daug it—
Mr. Merriweather;
"Oh, Peebles, you talk as wildly as a
r jackass. I never see a more first-class
idiot in the whole course of my life.
What's the matter with you, any bow?"
"Mr. Merriweather, sir," said Peebles,
in an agony of bewilderment, " It may
not be unknown that you prosecuted a
lonely man who is not good for a com
mercial period of wedlock f.,r some five
years—but"
" See here, Mr. Peebles, you're drunk,
and if you can't behave better than that
you'd better leave. If you don't I'll
chuck you out, or I'm a Dutchman."
" Mr. Merriweather sir," said Peeb
les, frantic with despair, "it may not be
unknown to you that my earthly pos•
sessions are engaged to enter wedlock
five years with a sufficiently lonely man
who Is not good for a commercial main
tenance—"
"The bloody deuce he isn't. Now
you just git up and git, old hose, or I'll
knock what little brains out of you
you've got left."
With that old Merriweather took
Peebles by the shirt collar and the part
of his pants that wears out first if he
sits down much, and shot him into the
street as if he had just run against a
locomotive going at the rate of forty
miles an hour. Before old Merriweather
had a chance to shut the front door
Peebles collected his legs and one thing
another that were lying around on the
pavement, and arranged hitneelfltra

something or other must eventually

home half a pound lighter, while Mord

had to draw all the dog's teeth to get the
flesh out of his mouth, "for he had an
awful holt for such a small animal."
Of course Merriweather's daughter
heard about it; and she was so mad that
she never gave the old man any peace
until he went around the next day to
see Peebles about it. Peebles looked
pale as a ghost from loss of blood and
beef, and he had a whole piece of mug•
lin wrapped around his off leg. Merri
weather said :
" Peeb, sorry about that muss last
night, but if you didn't behave like a

"I was only trying to ask you to let

Peebles.

And Peebles looked ruefully at his de

such a fool, but he went out and mar
ried the girl, and lived happily with her
for about two months, and, at the end
of that time, he told a confidential
friend that he would willingly take
more trouble and undergo a million
more dog bites to get rid of her.
A Singular Story.
A Strange Freak of Nature In the West.
[From tho Brodhead (Wisconsin) Independent
of February 1.1
About the year 1856 there moved.lnto
this village a family by the name of
Burnham, consisting of Dr. M. L. Burn
ham, his wife, and two children, a
daughterl aged sixteen, and a son three
or four years younger. Dr. Burnham
was a man of some property, and of the
highest respectability. The family soon
became active members of our village
society, the doctor being an active mem
ber and one of the deacons of the Con
gregational church. Dr. Burnham was
a well read physician, and did some
practice in addition to keeping a drug
store, in which his daughter, Ellen,
assisted him as clerk for the first two
years of the doctor's residence here.
Miss Ellen Burnham was by no
means a beautiful girl. Her hair'
and eyes were dark ; features re•
gular, but rather coarse and mascu
line ; form tall, square shouldered, an d
wanting in that grace of outline which
Inspires admiration. If a stranger were
tempted to look at her a second time, it
would be from surprise at the strong
masculine appearance unnatural to a
woman, especially one so young. Miss
Burnham was not a favorite with our
young men, nor did she seem anxious
to be, Her time, outside of her domestic
duties, was devoted to instrumental
musk) or to horseback riding, in both
of which she was decidedly accomplish
ed. Her life for the four years subse
quent to 1856 was not unlike that of
other young ladies of the place. She
had a large class, mostly of young girls,
whom she instructed In instrumental
music. In the fall of 1858 a young man
by the name of Powell came here and
was employed as principal of our village
school. Powell resigned the leadership
of the school In the spring of the year
1851), and started the Reporter, the first
paper published in our village. During
that summer he became Intimate with
the family of Dr. Burnham, and became
engaged to Miss Burnham in the fall of
1850. The engagement soon becarrie
known outside of the family. The only
surprise excited on account of it was
surprise at the taste of Mr. Powell
in selecting a girl of such mas
culine appearance. Miss Burnham's
parents seemed particularly pleased at
the prospective marriage of theirdaugh
ter, whom they believed well qualified
to make a good wife for an editor. In
February, 1861, L. W. Powell and Miss
Ellen Burnham were married by Rev.
Mr. Cochran, the Congregational minis.
ter. The happy couple took a short
bridal tour, preparatory to settling down
for life. After an absence of a week
they returned to the residence of the
bride's parents, who, in honor of their
daughter's marriage, sent out invita
tions to large numbers of our citizens to
welcome the bride and groom. We were
present at this weddingparty, and could
not but think that both the bride
and groom appeared remarkably sol
emn. We did not kiss the bride, al
though that was the fashion. Our ob
jection to the kissing part of the pro
gramme was a dislike to come in contact
with an unusually heavy and black
moustache which marred the upper lip
of the bride. Mrs. Powell became more
and more masculine in her appearance
as she grew older. She took a case in
the Reporter office, and learned the
printer's trade rapidly, In a time she
proved to be the best Jour in the office.
She also took to smoking, in the culti
vation of which she proved herself a
printer. In the spring of 1863, when
Powell had been married about a year
and a half, the 7th Wisconsin regiment
was organized. Powell's wife not having
presented him with an heir to make
home dounly pleasant, he resolved to go
to the wars. He sought and through the
influence of friends obtained the
position of State agent or "get nurse"
for the gallant 7th, then ordered to
Washington. Mrs. Powell, being of a
tougn and hardy make, resolved to ac
company her husband to the front. No
objection being raised, she fitted herself
out and went to Washington. The regi
ment was for a time detained at Wash
ington' and Mrs. Powell made herself
happy by working up that moral town.
A few weeks after her arrival there,
while she was riding on horseback one
day, her masculine appearance attracted
the attention of a government detective,
who made up , his mind that Mrs.
Powell was a man, a rebel spy. The
detective followed her about the city to
her quarters. He dogged her steps for
several days, until, just before the
regiment was ordered off, Mrs. Powell
took it into her head to return to Brod.
head. She packed up her rig took leave
of her husband and the regiment, and
started for home. The detective accom
panied her to Chicago on the same train,
and at the Briggs House, where the lady
booked her name, he placed her under
arrest as a rebel in disguise. In vain
ho claimed to be a woman and the wife
of a member of the 7th Regiment. She
called in the landlady, who asserted
that she had seen Mrs. Powell at the
house before. Mrs. Powell finally in
duced the detective to telegraph to-Gov
ernor Randall, of this State, and to her
husband at Washington. Governor
Randall telegraphed back that there
was ouch a lady. A similar telegram ar
rived from Washington. In a few days
Mr. Powell reached Chicago, and the un
happy couple made their way home to
this village. Language cannot describe
the feelings of this unhappy pair. Hard
ly over the first flush of connubial fe
licity, and the wife had become an ob
ject of suspicion to strangers, and was
in constant danger of being arrested as
a man. They_ remained here a few
days, when Mrs. Powell informed her
parents that she was going to visit some
relations east. The fond parents, little
dreaming of the arrest and subsequent
scenes at the Briggs House, urged her to
remain and replenish her wardrobe. She
readily answered that she could procure
more becoming and stylish garments at
the East. After her departure Mr. Pow
ell procured some cloth, and went to
Mr. Morney, one of our tailors, and in.
formed him that he wished to present
his brother-with a suit of clothes. He
informed the tailor that his garments
fitted his brother, and a suit made to flt
himself would be just the thing. The
clothes were made and expressed to
Chicago. Soon after Mr. Powell in
formed Dr. Burnham, the father of, his
wife, that Ellen had changed her dress,
and was now wearing man's attire and
living in Chicago. The,. doctor was
,thunderstruck and the, mother half
`Crazy. The only satisfacticin they could
get out of Powell wasthat his wife was
not a woman, and would'not dress as a
woman any longer. The doctor request
ed Powell to accompany him, and im
mediately went to Chicago, where
he found his daughter. dressed in
a suit of clothes which Powell
had had made for his brother. Mrs.
Powell informed him that she was
not a - woman, and would no longer try
to act the part of one. The doctor in
elated upon an examination. At length,
r to satiety her father, she Consented that
the late Dr. Brainard should examine
j her. Dr. Brainard did so and Inform
-1 ed the father that his dau ghter was not
. a female, and had done t he beet thing
l that could have been done in changing
her attire, After much solicitation
Ellen permitted her father to examine
her, and satisfy himself that she was not
a woman. Dr. Burnham then procured
a situation for her, under the name
of Edgar Burnham, in the wholesale
drug house of J. H. Read &Co., in whose
employ he remained about one year.
Daring this time he roomed and slept
with a young man by the name of An
drews, now doing business.in Crosby's
Opera House block. He also became
engaged to a young lady on State street,
the daughter of his landlady. We fre
quently visited young Burnham at his
room orr Wasnington street, being our
selves at the three in the law office
of March & Redfield, then officiating
on Dearborn street. Young Burn
ham made up in appearance as a
man for all the beauty and grace he
lacked as a woman ; Chicago had few
better looking young men than the
former Mrs. Powell. He was a portion
of this time an organist at the Plymouth
church, Rev. J. R. Shepherd, pastor,
and for a time organist of one of the
Baptist churches. We were particularly
amused at his hearty admiration of the
girls. He would leavahis piano or work
anytime to look at a woman. In 1808
young Burnham returned to Brodhead
and went into the drug businebs with
his father, He was at this time engaged
to the State street lady, who was entirely
ignorant of the story of her lover's life.
We have it from the best authority—a
young man who resided in the family of
theyounglady—thatßurnham was ade
voted lover, and, even after he removed
to Brodhead, corresponded regularly
twice a week with his betrothed, and
paid her visits of two or three days'
duration. After his removal to Brod
head he was a decided favorite in the
society here, both on account of his
good looks and his skill as a musician.
Men, women and children flocked to
the drug store of Burnham & Son to
trade, for the purpose of seeing the
young man who was once a wife. At
length Dr. Burnham sold out his prop
erty here in 1804, and removed to Water.
100, lowa, taking Edgar with him, and
there opening a drug store. Soon after
the removal of the family to Waterloo
Edgar sought and obtained in mar
riage the hand of Miss Gerta Everette,
one of the prettiest girls in Spring Val
ley Rock county, Wisconsin. The
Chicago engagement had been broken
off. They have now been married about
three years, and living at Waterloo.
They have no children as yet, all sto
ries to •the contrary notwithstanding.
Should they have children, or either of
them, we shall make haste to inform
our readers of the fact. It is simply
ridiculous to suppose that Edgar Burn
ham was ever a mother, and quite as
insane to believe that he can be a father.
From the best authority, namely, from
Mr. Powell and from the surgeon who
examined him, wo know that Edgar
Burnham is an It, and will never be
anything else. It is due to the young
lady to whom he was engaged in Chi
cago to say that she never knew the
make-up of her lover from first to last,
and that the engagement was broken off
by her before his history became known.
Miss Everette his present wife, knew
the facts of this remarkable case, sub
stantially as we have related them, and
married It willingly of her own ac
cord and against the wishes of her
parents. She undoubtedly knows the
facts more definitely than we do, and
can comfort herself accordingly. We
wish her Joy of her union with au It,
if there is any Joy in it.
Smuggling Devices.
In the days when the high-heeled
French boots were in the pride of fash
ion, there was a shoemaker in London
who made a fortune by the sale of the
best Paris boots at a price which all his
fellow-tradesmen declared ruinous. He
understood the trade, and obtained
troops of customers. These boots must
be stolen, said his rivals ; but there was
no evidence that they were; certainly
they were not smuggled boots, for any
one could satisfy himself that the full
duty was paid on them at the custom
house. The shoemaker retired from
business with a fortune. Afterward his
secret was accidentally discovered—al
though he had paid duty for the boots, he
had not paid dutyfor everything that was
in them. There was a heavy duty pay
able on foreign watches, and every boot
consigned to him from Paris had con
tained in its high heel a cavity exactly
large enough to hold a watch. • The
great profits obtained by the trade in
smuggling watches made it possible for
this tradesman, when he had fluted up
their heels, to sell his boots under prime
cost. This is worth while, again, be
cause of course by the extension of his
boot trade he increased his power of im
porting watches duty free.
gime years later an elderly lady and
a lap dog traveled a good deal between
Dover and Ostend. It came to be gen
erally considered at the custom-house
that her travels were for the sole pur
pose of smuggling Brussels lace, then
subject to exceedingly high duty ; but
neither the examiners of her luggage
nor the female searchers at the custom
house who took charge of her could by
the narrowest scrutiny find matter for a
single accusation. At last, when she was
about to resign the smuggling business,
this lady accepted a bribe from an offi
cer to make him master of her secret.
Calling to her side her lap dog, who was
to all strangers a very snappish little
cur, she asked the officer to fetch a
knife and rip the little creature open.
Like a few of the dogs (which have
sometimes even proven to be rats) sold
in the streets of London, it gloried out
wardly in a false skin ; and between the
false skin and the true skin was space
enough to provide a thin dog with the
ordinary fatness to a lady's pet by
means of a warm padding of the finest
lace. In the reign of Louis the Eigh
teenth—it may be noted by the way—
fierce dogs were taught to carry valu
able watches and small articles under
false skins across the frontier. They
were taught to know and avoid the uni
form of a custom-house officer. Swift,
cunning, and fierce, they were never to
be taken alive, although they were
sometimes pursued and shot.
Not very long ago a great number of
false bank notes were put into circula
tion within the dominions of the Czar.
They could only have been imported ;
but, although the strictest search was
made habitually over every vessel en
tering a Russian port, no smuggling of
false notes was discovered. So strict is
meant to be the scrutiny at Russian
custom-houses that the ship captain,
who is bound to give an inventory
of every article on board, may fall
into unheard of trouble if ho for
get
even so much as his own
private canary bird. Several crates '
of lead pencils arrived one day from
England, and were being examined,
when one of them fell out of a package,
and the custom-house officer picked it
up, cut it to a point and used it to sign
the order which delivered up the, cases
to the consignee. He kept the one loose
pencil for his own use;.and a few days
afterward, because IC needed a fresh
point, cut it again, and found that there
was no more lead. Another chip into
the cedar brought him to a roll of paper
nested into a hollow place. This paper
was one of the false notes, engraved in
London, and thas passed into the do
minion of the M ovate.—Ex.
A Remarkable Telegraph Printing In-
struthent.
For some time past there has been
going the rounds of the newspapers a
paragraph stating that an individual in
Harrisburg had invented an instrument
for use in telegraphing, by which mes
sages could be sent at a much greater
rate of speed than by the best of those in
use at the present time. We have taken
occasion to ascertain to whom belongs
the ored it of this valuable invention, and
we find the originator in the person ofMr.
C. Westbrook, formerly thesuperintend
ent of the American telegraph lines, and
at present a resident of this city. His
instrument is an actuality, capable of
transmitting from two hundred words a
minute to five thousand words an hour,
according to the capacity of the opera
tor. Mr. Westbrook is at present en
gaged in the manufacture of a number
of these machines for use in New York.

More Dogi;or Note.
For many pole lioriore have an ir
resistible charm, and the more horrible
the horrors are the better they like them,
especially if founded on a groundwork
of fact. Amongst these, the sale and
serving of huinan flesh in unsuspected
forme has ever been a favorite topic
with the lovers of the hideous and the
terrible. From the time of the Arabian
Nights to the present date, many a lis•
toning ear has been fascinated by ac
counts of how monsters In hun:durshape
(a race 'of criminals, it is believed, now
quite extinct) beguiled honest and
healthy appetited men into acts of un
conscious cannibalism. It Is a pleasure
analogouato hearing the rain twat, and
the tempest howl,w - hile you are snugly
ensconced in your chimney corner.
It is so utterly unlikely, so im
possible, now, that you should be
made, under any • conceivable cir
cumstance, to commit true and real
anthropophagy, that it merely gives you
a pleasing shudder, a delightful fright,
when you hear of such things occur
ring in bygone times. They are legen
dary lore, you think, no more authentic
than Bluebeard'ablography; their actors
are imaginary beings; as unsupported
by fact as European ogres or oriental
ghouls. Such legendary tales , have,
nevertheless, beep almost always taken
from history. •In suoh.oases, to arrive.
at thehlstorical fact, it suffices to strip it
of the details superadded by popular
credulity.
Thus, many a child has been fright
ened by nurses' tales about butchers
and pastry cooks selling human flesh
in Paris. Those tales were doubtless
greatly exaggerated; nay, we might
utterly refuse to credit them, if such
facts were not attested by authentic
documents. Inarchment records,
several centuries ol d, it is stated that a
butcher at Tournus, a small town in
Burgundy, publicly sold human flesh,
passing it off for veal. Another mem
orable instance occurred in the year of
grace 1200, when Louis IX., commonly
called Saint Louis, was king of France.
At that time there, dwelt at the corner
of the Rue des Deux-Ermites, at the
entrance of the Rue des Marmousets, a
master barber, whose name was Oliver
Galipaud. With the usual obsequiohs
nese and gossip of his brethren, he han
dled the razor with unusual dexterity.
His reputation, consequently, stood
high, and hie customers were well-to-do
and numerous.
M. Galipaud's next-door neighbor was
apastrylcook named Grimaldi, a native
of Florence, who drove, in his way, as
flourishing a business as his friend Gall
paud. His shop was one of the best
frequented in town. Certain little pat
ties, made after a receipt of ,his own,
were sought by epicures from ever quar
ter. The patties, in fact, were prepared
with considerable skill; they were bet
ter seasoned, and more delicately flavor
ed, than any to be had of other pastry
cooks. He sold an enormous quantity
every day. As a matter of course, he
made a deal of money by them.
One Christmas Eve, as it was getting
dark, a bell-ringer at the cathedral of
Notre Dame named Lefevr ,e as he was
passing down the Rue des Marmousets,
had the unlucky idea of getting shaved,
He stepped into Galipaud's shop, ac
companied by a little spaniel called
Carpillon. At a sign from his master,
the dog lay down in a corner of the shop
near the door, while he himself went
into the back shop, where the barber
awaited him, napkin in hand.
A few minutes afterwards Carpillon
suddenly heard a groan, immediately
followed by a dull, heavy Bound, like
that of a door shut firmly to. The dog
pricked his ears, jumped on hie feet, and
rushed into the back shop, barking
loudly. He searched for hip master, but
no master was to be found. The bell
ringer had disappeared. Something
strange and horrible must have occur
red, for the dog could not be made to
cease from howling. Galipaud, in a rage,
seized a thick stick, with the evident
intention of knocking the dog on the
head. Carpillon avoided the blow, and
becoming furious in turn, attacked the
barber's legs, which he bit severely in
several places. After wreaking this par
tial vengeance, he retreated under a
heavy piece of furniture, where he
recommenced his cries and yells.
While this was going on two of the
bell-ringer's friends entered the barber's
shop. Carpillon, recognizing them at
once, crept out of his retreat, ran towards
them, and renewed his plaintive lamen
tations
" Why, it's Carpillon I" one of them
exclaimed. " What is the matter, Car
pilion 7" Where is your master?
These words redoubled the dog's ex
citement. He rushed again upon the
barber and followed him to the further
end or his back shop. The two men
followed, thinking to calm him ; but
they stopped short as if petrified, at be
holding Galipaud hastily pick up a
bloody nightcap. The barber's fearful
pallor, his haggard eyes, his strange
embarrassment, were a complete reve
lation for these two witnesses. They
turned pale, and trembled with horror
themselves. " Lefevre has been mur
dered!" they involuntarily exclaimed.
The words struck Galipaud like a
thunderbolt. He saw that he was lost,
and tried to escape. The bell-ringer's
friends barred the passage, shouting for
help. In a few minutes the shop was
crowded. The legal authorities soon
arrived. They then set about search
ing the premises, which speedily result
ed in a frightful discovery.
Olivier Galipaud was a practised as
sassin, and Grimaldi, the pastry cook,
was his accomplice. In the barber's
back shop they found a trap-door,
swinging on a hinge, and opening into
the cellar beneath. As soon as the
wretch had cut a victim's throat, he
threw him down backwards upon the
trap door, and the body immediately
disappeared. At night, after the com
mission of every murder, Galipaud went
down into his cellar, and out up the
body into joints, exactly as a profession
al butcher would. The head and the
bones were put into the Seine at the
first opportunity. The flesh was sold to
his gossip Grimaldi; and it was with
this meat that the wretch made the
famous patties which all Paris enjoyed
with so keen arelish. A small door, ex
cavated in thefoundation of the building
established a communication between
the adjoining cellars occupied by this
couple of cannibal accomplices.
The number of persons murdered by
Galipaud could never be
_precisely ascer
tained. When the officers of justice
searched the cellar they found, besides
the Notre Dame bell-ringer's corpse,
two heads separated from their bodies,
They were still lying close to the butch
er's block on which the monster used
to out up human flesh. Probably he
had not had time during the preced
ing night to go and throw them into
the river. A few days after their arrest,
these atrocious villains received the
chastisement due to their crimes by be
ing burnt alive in the Place de Greve.
The house where such deeds had been
committed was demolished. A large
square stone marked the accursed spot;
and on the stone was sculptured the
liketiesS of-the faithful dog, who had
avenged his master by denouncing the
criminals to justice.
The dog obtained the preference, and
Goethe's resignation was accepted.
Another Denunciating Dog, bearing
the singular name of "Bristol," is re
corded in the judicial annals of the
South of France. It dates from. the
year 1718.
A Marseilles paper-merchant went
make purchases at Toulon. That done,
he left Toulon to return to Marseilles.
His wife and son, apprised of his
departure, awaited his coming.—
For four long days they waited in
vain, in a state of fearful and
ever-increasing anxiety. On the morn
ing of the fifth day, their dog, who had
accompanied his master in his journey,
arrived, alone. The poor creature was
in a pitiable state. Every sound of his
voice, every movement he made an
nounced the deepest grief. He licked
his mistress's hands, lay down at her
feet and began to howl.
"Misfortune has come to the house,"
she said. "A presentiment of evil
chokes my breath. Ifyour fathershould
be dead! The Lord have pity on us!"
"If you wish mother, lam ready to
go in search of him."
my boy ;go by all means. ake
Bristol with you. He will be sure to
lead you to his master, alive or dead."
Bristol, hearing what was said, rose to
his feet and walked slowly towards the
door. The young man saddled a good
horse, and set off at once upon his mis
sion. He did not return until the fol
lowing day. During the whole time of
his absence his mother had prayed and
wept.
" You are alone," she said ; " I undet.

sonable suspielon. Six months elapsed.
The attention of the officers of justice
being directed to more recent crimes,
they thought no. mord:of the paper
merchant. But thoge he 'had left still
mourned his low. Bristol had lost all
his gayety. He spent **hole hours sor
rowfully stretched ,on a little straw In
the court-yard of the house..
One evening, while following his
young master about the town, he en.; ,
tered with him into a cafe in which
several strangers were assembled. The ,
young man took his seat' at a table be'
aide a couple of'acquaintances,: and
Bristol having nothing better to do, be
gulled the time by walking: up ,alid;
down the room. 'Suddenly, after utter,
ing a low growl, he furiously . flew 'M a
tall thin man who was amusing himself
with a game of ilraughte;
The man, in alarm, called out for•
help. The guests rose from their seats
and crowded round him. They tried to
keep the dog back; they beat him se
verely about the head and loins; but all
to no purpose. It only redoubled Bris
tol's fury, He paid no attention to the
persons who maltreated him; all his
rage was directed against the man who
was playing draughts. As soon as he
was driven off, he attacked him again.
He tore his clothes and bit his legs.
"This is insufferable, abominable I"
shouted the bystanders, addressing
Brietol's owner. "Call offyour dog, and
take him out of the room,'
With some difficulty the young man
succeeded in making th e enraged animal
loose his hold, and could find no other
means of calming him except by carry
ing him quite out of the cafe. But be
fore they had set a hundred steps, Bristol
left his master returned to the cafe, and
again attacke d the tall thin stranger.
Once more the young man was obliged
to employ force to separate the dog from
his enemy.
Amongst the witnesses of this terrible
scene there happened to be a commer
dial gentlemen who had formerly been
intimately acquainted with the paper
merchant. Pale and trembling with
emotion, he approached the young man,
and inquired in a whisper, " When
your father took his unfortunate jour
ney to Toulon, had he this dog with
him?"
" Yes," replied the paper-merchant's
son. "Bristol even reached our house
before the disaster which has ruined us
was known."
During this secret conversation, Brie.
tol, whom his master held in cheek by
means of a rope tied round his neck,
made extraordinary efforts to get loose.
" I may be mistaken," the other con.
tinned,' but it is Just possible this man
may be your father's murderer. Remain
here while all these people are talking
amongst themselves about what has
happened; I will run to the Commis
stare de Police for a force sufficient to
arrest the man."
In a quarter of an hour he came back
with a posse of men,
who surrounded
and filled the public house. The sus
pected individual was at once arrested,
and conducted forthwith to prison. On
searching him, they found upon him the
paper merchant's watch and several
other trinkets which were identified as
havicg been his property. The posses
sion of those articles was a strong pre
sumption of the prisoner's guilt; but it
was also proved fiat, on the day of the
murder, he had been met by a little girl
as he came out of the forest ofCogniou.
Other corroborative evidence turned up.
He was found guilty, and condemned to
death. After strong and reiterated pro
testations of innocence, he avowed-the
crime to his confessor at the last moment
as he was mounting the very steps of the
scaffold:
At the present day, dogs are not a

sur-Seine, near Paris, M. T—, found
out that he had been robbed for some
time past without being able to dis
cover the offender. As it was during
the night that his shop was entered, he
had it guarded by hisdeg, an intelligent
animal who usually slept in his private
apartments.
One night (in FebruarY, 1867), being
awakened by furious barking, he im-
mediately rose, went down to the shop,
found the street door open, and search
ing in all directions could find nobody.
He therefore unchained his dog, who
soon hit upon a scent, followed it into
the street, and then, after stopping at a
neighboring house, came back to his
master, gave a peculiar and significant
,growl, and then returned to track the
same scent several times over. His
whole behavior seemed to indicate that
the individual who had entered the
shop had taken refuge in that house.
This circumstance confirmed the sus•
piclons M. T— entertained respecting
his nephew G—, who lodged in that
house, whom he presumed to be the
author of the various thefts.
Consequently, while acquainting the
Commissaire de Police with the robbery,
he at the same time communicated his
suspicions. G— was sent for and in
terrogated. He denied -all knowledge
of the matter, and was highly indignant
at the accusation. There being no proof
whatever against him, he was on the
point of being dismissed, when the Com
missaire had the ingenious idea of
making an experiment which might
help him to discover the truth. He re
quested several persons to come into his
office, and amongst them he placed the
defendant G—. He then caused the
grocer and his dog to enter. At a signal
from the Commissaire, the grocer said
to the dog one single word, " Cherche !"
—"Find!"
The clever creature went several times
round the circle formed by the persons
present. Each time he stopped in front
of o—, giving the peculiar growl
which he had uttered when he found
the trace of the thief.
"You see," said the Commissaire to
o—, "it is useless to deny it; the dog
knows you again." •
Completely upset by this singular
evidence, G— avowed that he really
was the guilty party, and was left to be
dealt with by the law.
Poodle—for such was his name, and it

Frederick Schwartz, a merchant, re
tired from business in Darmstadt, occu
pied his leisure hours, which were many,
almost exclusively with music. His
passion for the art acquired such an in
tensity that he required every oue about
him to fall in with his musical Wedileo

co-operation. There was not* member

cal assistance.
As worthy Herr Schwartz felt the ut2
ter impossibility of making Poodle af
ford any practical aid, he determined to
train him to fill the office of critic in
his own - harmonious community. He
succeeded, too, by an ingenious method.
Whenever a note out of tune proceeded
from a voice or an instrument ; every
time that a musical fault was comofit
ted by any member of the family—and
such faults were committed purposely
—the rod was applied to Poodle's book,
and he naturally began to bark and
howl. He was exactly in the position
of the whipping boy, who pursued his
studies with the royal prince. When
the prince made a grammatical blunder,
the whipping boy hadto smart for it.
Before long, simple threats were sub
stituted for smitings of his (Poodle's)
back ; afterwards a look sufficed to set
the creature barking; and little by little
Poodle familiarized - himself with wrong
notes and other musical atrocities, un
til at last a mistake could not be com
mitted without his rebuking it either
by a bark or a growl. He thus became,
as far as music , was concerned, the most
impartial judge, the most conscientious
critic in the whole grand duchy of Hes
se-Darmstddt.
Unfortunately, his appreciation of
musical art was completely and solely
negative. He bestowed no praise, but

Sandolet, Chevalier de Saint Louis,
after serving for nearly forty years un
der the greatest captains of the age of
Louis XIV. found - himself forced to
hang up his sword upon a nail.—
"" Forced" unfortunately was the word ;
for he had grown old and feeble, with
out reckoning a score of wounds, the
least of which, now, would procure his
admission to the Invalides. One of his
contemporaries has sketched his por
trait:" His wrinkled face le that of a
mummified frog. He lost his nose at
the battle ofFleurus ; his right eye at the
passage of the Rhine; an arm on the
field of Steinkerque ; the left thigh at
Malplaquet ; and his lower jaw, carried
away by a ball at the siege of Valen
ciennes, has been replaced, more or less
efficiently, by an artificial substitute."
It would be difficult to find a alieva-
Her of any order more completely di
lapidated, and at the same time contin
uing to exist. It appears that, in spite
of his defective Jaw, Sandolet had an
excellent appetite. Unfortunately, he
has only a franc and a half, or fifteen
pence, per day to supply his wants.
That moderate income was insufficient;
and it often happened that he had
neither roast meat in the cupboard, nor
bread on the shelf, nor a Bonin his purse
to keep the Devil out of it.
Nevertheless, Sandolet had a dog who
answered to the name of Capucin. His
tory not having recorded why this name
was given him in preference to any
other, we are obliged to do as history
has done. Weary of fasting and of wai
ting for the larks to fall into his mouth
ready roasted, Sandolet came to the
logical conclusion that, since he had a
dog, which dog helped him to con
sume his revenue, it was only fair that
the said dog, for his part, should
render some service in return. To the
dog's collar he therefore fastened a
leather purse, into which when he put
a letter, Capucin carried it to its address.
It was a petition for pecuniary assist
ance from some generous person of the
old soldier's acquaintance.
When the cupboard was bare, Sando
let opened the door, and calling the dog,
said to him, " Come, Capucin, you see
the hutch is empty. You must set to
work, mon ami, and try what you can
do."
At which Capucin mornfully bowed
his head, shook his ears, tucked his tail
between his 'egg, and began to bark—a
pantomime which, interpreted, said, "I
understand, Master is hungry, and so Is
his dog."
The letter deposited in its receptacle,
Sandolet said, "Go to such or such a
place." The docile messenger obeyed,
and presented himself to the party in
dicated with a humble and submissive
air. He then raised his head to show
the letter. Often, while waiting for the
answer, Capuoin, to beguile the time
found his way to the kitchen, where
they rarely refused him a morsel of
meat. When at last he got the answer,
always inclosing a piece of money, he
returned to his master as fast as his legs
could carry him, and would contrive to
make ten or twelve such visits in the
course of a morning. The collection
ended, the master and the dog embraced
each other.
Sandolet then made a grand display on
the tableof six, twelve and twenty-four
sea pieces, and sometimes even of three
and six-franc crowns—all of which now
are obsolete—Capucin looking on with
an approving air. The veteran, slapping
his wooden leg with his only hand,
would exclaim, " Bravo Capucin I
bravo, my dog ! You have' brought me
Balm of Gilead this morning."
The rack was stored and the manger
filled with provisions for several days to
Come.

Wo, are .repeatedly called. upon, in
• common with others of our fellow-,citi
; sens by'letters - from' dlarent parts of
, the iTalotr forinforrnation in regard to
the Wooden* murals, social and po•
lineal, of General.l7:l3b Grant, or Gen
eral Samuel Ulypses Grant, according to
slate newissiner writer, who says he
deriventheiniblmation from Sam's own
father, Who,' if -he , knows anything,
ought. to know his own son's name.
Having l no personal feeling against U.
S. Grant, or S. U. Grant, we have con
sequently no objection to an answer
to these queries, and •to state fairly
all that is known, or can be brought
forward, in regard to the political
"pinions of thL . gentleman. As to
his social and moral etaftoi, we
have little to say at present ; but as to
politics, we have excellent authority to
whom we can refer for proof—that is, if
General Grant ever had any fixed opin
ions while he resided in Galena. U. S.
Grant or S. U. Grant came to this city
nine years ago. His father • was a resi
dent of Covington, Ky., had a leather
store here, and was engimed, through
his two sons, Orville and Simpson Grant
in the purchase of hides, which were
shipped to Covington. Hither came
Ulysses, after he wandered out of the
United States army, and was employed
as a kind of porter about the establish
ment. He was equally unknown to
fame or to society here, and so remained
until his good luck came into play with
that of the Black Republican dynasty
of A. Lincoln. It has been, repeatedly
stated that Grant voted for Douglas at
the Presidential election of 1880, which
resulted in the triumph of—
" Black old Abe and the eternal nigger!"
Again, it has been said that he and his
brother voted for A. Lincoln. His brother
did vote the Republican ticket, but Sam
did not vote at all. He told one gentle
man that if he did vote, he would:prefer
to do so for Bell and Everett, thelKno w-
Nothing candidates. To another:gen
tleman he expressed his preference for
Judge Douglas, adding, however, that
he did not like to oppose the wishes of
his father and brother, who were Re
publicans—thus exhibiting the same
vacillating course in politics that he does
at present. Know-Nothinglem appears
at all times to be his predominating
political characteristic. But few of our
citizens knew U. H. or S. U. Grant dur
ing his residence here ; and it was not
until the title of general was attached to
his name that they began to enquire:
" Who and what is this General Grant
who is announced as a distinguished
citizen of Galena ?" "We never knew
him I" " What is he, and what did he
do here ?" Everybody seemed astonish •
ed to find that we " had a Bourbon
among us," and had ignorantly been
nursing a militaryenius in our midst,
who was destined ( politically at least)
to overslaugh all competitors. It is
generally understood that there is, and
has been for some time past—in fact,
ever since General Grant loomed up in
the political horizon, quite a contest or
rivalry as to the particular individual
who first lent Grant a helphing hand—
both E. B. Washburn" and Dick Yates
claiming the merit of being his bene
factor.
It appears that on the breaking out of
the rebellion, U. S. or S. U. Grant (we
had better call him Sam. for short)
wandered to Springfield, and obtained
temporary employment as a clerk or
peace adjutant in the office of that
moral, sober, and exemplary chief
magistrate Governor Yates, then busi
ly attempting to organize the militia of
Illinois. It was hero the first stroke of
good luck occurred to him. A regiment
was being organized and Diok was about
to appoint a certain A. B. colonel there
of, against whom the officers of the em
bryo corps rebelled stoutly. " Who then
shall I appoint?" said his Excellency.
"Anybody but a politician," respond.
ed the captains and lieutenants present.
There's Capt. Grant, how will he do—
he's a West Pointer?" says Dick (Sam
was writing at a table in the room.)
"Content," answered the officers, and
Grant was immediately commissioned
by the Governor colonel of the Twenty
first Illinois Regiment, and, who prob
ably, in that capacity, was the best ap
pointment that Dick had made. Ulysses
Sam or Sam Ulysses, after his singu
larly accidental fortune In getting the
regiment, had next to raise the funds
to equip himself. His present admirers
were not the men to assist him ; they
stood aloof, although manz of them at
the time were making money out of
army contracts. He was poor ; they
were rich. His own family refused to
aid him ; and, had it not been for the
kindness of a gentleman who was a
Democrat, and had_ been at one time
connected with his father in business,
he would not have been able to pur
chase his outfit.
Up to this time it is said that Sam
Grant had never known E. B. Wash
burne or Washburne known Sam, al
though some members of his family had
politically stood by Washburne. The
Congressman had often passed and re
passed the unknown hero in 'blessed
ignorance of who and what he was.
When and where they found out their
respective merits, is unknown to us. So,
also, others of our citizens, who now
adulate, fawn upon and worship
Grant, hailing him as the "Agamem
non" of the army, never recognized him,
patronized him or extended to him the
right hand of fellowship, until Wash
burne led the way, after he had been
manufactured into a general, and then it
was that he was first deemed worthy
of their distinguished consideration.
Such is a brief sketch of the Galena
career of " Uncle Sam" Grant, as be was
wont to be called by his old comrades
in the Regular Army. We have "naught
extenuated or set down aught In mal
ice." His good luck in things personal
has adhered to him thus far. As we
have before remarked, the very men
who knew him not, who never extended
to him their hands in friendship or
their hospitality to him or his family,
even visited them—who, in fact, while
he was the humble employee of his
father, under the direction of his
younger . brother, gave him the cold
shoulder—are now his most obsequious
servants, and, in conjunction with and
at the nod of E. B. Washburne, pur
chased for him a house, at the enor
mous expense of some sixty thousand
dollars, making the whole country ring
with their generosity.
On the other hand, the few who, out
of pity for his poverty and forlorn con
dition, showed - him kindness, appear to
have been totally forgotten by this dis
tinguished "citizen from Galena." We
speak only of Grant in connection with
this oily. Although he has shown a
Christian spirit in forgiving his enemies
and doing good to those who despite
fully used him, this fact may entitle
him to an election asan honorary mem
ber of the Young Men's Christian As
sociation, but certainly does not fit him
for the office of dictator over the ten
Southern States, or President of the
whole Union. It is premised here gen
erally and there are those among us
who 'troll the sweet morsel under their
lips" daily and nightly, that, should
Grant's good luck elect hini President,
our city of Galena will be highly bene
fited. The cabinet, in whole or the
greater part, is to be selected from among
our citizens.
The Hon. E. B. Washburne will be
Secretary of State; our gallant oborigi
nal Parker, Secretary of the Interior;
while our former Democratic counselor,
J. A. Rawlins, will receive the Depart
ment of War. We have even great
bankers, who might be persuaded to
accept the Treasury Department, such
as the gentleman lately elected Presi
dent of the Grant Club, of Galena. In
fact, we have men fit(or who think
themselves fit) for any position ; and
why should they not be rewarded for
their life-long devotion to Sam Ulysses
or Ulysses Sam Grant?

A Bloody Affair In Ohio.

Quite an exciting affair occurred here on
Saturday night last. An escaped convict,
by the name of Richard Bolton, who bad
been missing from the Indiana penitentiary
since November last, was tracked to a house
near this place, and on Saturday night, at
half past eleven o'clock, a constable named
Chas. Green, assisted by two men named
respectively, James Beeler and I). Berry,
made an attempt to arrest him. They sta
tioned themselves around the house and de.
mended admittance, but Bolton told them
to go away, or he would shoot them. One
'of the men replied, " you will shoot

be erroneous..
This extended research greatly facilitated his
success as a physician, but In none of Rio
schools of medicine did he find a general rem

turned his attention to the many patent medi

their success was so slight and uncertain that
he was not sure whether thepaUent would not
