Mcl'arhui's first'eare when sent to this country by the Pinkerton Agency to work up the Yost case was to be come a member of the famous society. Fortnna.telyhe possesed the first requi sites for admission in being an Irish man and a Catholic. .Knowing some •thing of the habits of the men who compose the order, he spent mustol his' time in low groggeriesolrank fearful quantity of bail whiskey, and made himself as agreeable as possible to their frequenters. It was not long until he caught an expression which his practiced ear told him was a pass word. lie committed it to memory. and took an opportunity when the proprietor of the saloon was in a pe culiarly mellow condition to repeat the Words to him. The man stared at him. and aske lave you been theie?"'" That's 'who. ky call me," replied the , detective; and so far he knew: he wasi right. The landlord, DOrmer+.' an s ex-County Comisioner, by the *ay=was.easily satisfied with a cock-and-bull story about a "divis ion" in Buffalo to which his new friend had belonged, a long tine ago; but the next interogator, one Michael Cooney, was not so easily deceived. Cooney asked questions Which the detective • could not answer, and it presently beCame necessary to find a way out of what threatened to , be an unpleasant predicament. Drinks were always in order ; and "Come take a .drink," was a very good way to change the subject, and McKenna, as the detective was known to his friends of the ready pistol, unfortunately drank too much, and presently ttunbl ed over on the floor, "dead drunk:" Thereupon—it reads like a chapter. from a sensation weekly—Cooney and Dormer began talking over his prostrate form, and unwittingly sup plied himiwith all the information 'he needed. Ile found that he ought Ur - have a card fry in the "body mastcr" or head man, at Buffalo, and it 'be came necuessary to explain Why Le was with Out that important docu ment. So he told a harrowing tale of how he had killed a man in Binlitlo, and had tO leave on short notice, and was afraid r ., to send for a card lest he should be detected. Now, the Mollie Maguire has this in common With the supporters of "the code" that he has great respect tor a person who has killed his man, and as "McKenna" was a very good fellow, and very free with his money, of which he appear ed to.have considerable, his apology was accepted without further question and he was received into the Order. His testimony is the first official ex position ever made. CONFESSION OF PIPER. Thomas W.

Bridget Landregin was a domestic servant of good repute, and while returning to her home at nine o'clock at night, from a visit to some friends, was assaulted and brutally clubbed `to death. Mary Tyner was a gill of bad repute, and was found oue.night in her bed insensible and terribly mangled. Piper declares that he had no motive for these crimes, particularly the murder. of the child, and einnot understand hOw he came to commit them. It is a4sunied that he wa:s actuated 'by a love, of bloodshed Mc the boy :Jesse Pomeroy.,—E.r. A SICKENING TRAGEDY. Sca.tsays, Pa..

The seedfof human liberty, planted' .vithin this Virgin soil ono hundred years . aro, waterer with the rich blood of patri ots, 'and ripened by the sunshine of Divibe favor, has grown to be a mighty tree; lie 'neath wbosel spreading branches the peo ple of the earth were • gathered together on this bright May morning. They Came with anthems breathing the spirit of peace on earth and good will among. men. They came with songs of praise and jubilee, that hallowed the gran deur of the forest, and overtopped 'its mere external glories—its noble architec ture, its floating banners, and its vistas of unetmallCd splendor. Above the temples made by human hands there rose; as frOm a shrii.e. the spirit of devotion. It was senice the centuries have never witneSs. ed ; a time too solemn and imposing to be a mere occasion of hilarity; aild none who stood in that vast concourse before Memorial Hall this morning could fail to be impressed with this high spirit' of the scene. • Another thought was suggested by the magnificent spectacle this morningthat we who stand in the . glow and whirl of this occasion, are not the ones to folly grasp its greatness. We stand too dose beside its dazzling splendors. We krilm, that it symbolizes the success of free government. We know that it bears wit ness to the achievements of ,a century's cizilization. We know that we have spread the board, and that Divine Provi. dence has so blessed with rare fruitt, - that all nations of the earth—some of them older than history itself-have come to Partake and become our guests. Jut the full significance of this achieve ment we cannot know. Six months from now the gorgeous fabric of these Centen nial edifices will hive faded away.. The lights will have tied, and the banquet ball Will be deserted. And yet these struc tnres, fashioned of wood and iron, to stand but fora season, in the providence of God, may endure, in their results, when the Pyramids shall have crumbled to the plains. They knit us together more than Congresses have done; for Congresses are but the representatives of the people— not always that—but hero the people have come together to clasp hands, and let us hope "to form a more perfect union." But though we may not fully grasp the grand expanse of this celebration, the children of to-day—the little boys 'and girls just big enough to wave toy tlags— will gather the fruits in after years, when we are mingled with the dust. As we 1 , sow, they shall reap. L•t us see to it that we sow wisely, and. it the temper of those brave, God-fearing I en, who gave us this republic•as a heritage. - AT TUE DAWN'S EARLY LUDIT:' Daybreak was saluted with the ringing of bells in the steeples and manufactories, the banging of cannon and minature lire arms,land at an early hour the members of the inilitia were on the way to their respective armories fully equiped for the ih! rade.
