replied: recoc-nizioe the interroffative
nature of my remark. "Rut there
are two things 1 never forget a
name or a face."
"A h, indeed !" said I, noticing a
small, deep scar under the corner of
his eye, which seemed to send out
flushes over his cheek; "that is a rare
aud hsppy faculty I say so the more
readilv, as 1 possess it in some degree
myself but your name has quite "
"Hamilton, at your service," and
Brain two or three nervous flushes
shot from the scar to tbe skin.
A mouotonous conversation follow
ed, during which Mr. Hamilton gave
evidence of excesm've weariness
At last an hour had glided away
aud most of tbe travelers bavingqui
eted them wives in sleep or euchre,
my new friend yawned, blinked,
stretched his arms, and suggested a
game of cards remarking that a
gam of poker would make it lively.
Something about that expression
awakened unpleasant memories; my
eyes ned with surprise, but if I
made auv discovery, or noticed more
particularly the flush darling down
his cheek from tbe wouud, 1 subdued
all expression of it while his glauce
was yet averted.
I thanked him. and observed that
I had not played a game of cards tor
fifteen years.
"Possible!" te broke out, with a
still averted gaze.
"Ves," I replied, "quite possible,
considering the nature of the game I
last played. It makes quite an ex
citing story which now appears to be
its termination. Shall 1 relate it?"
'O, yea, indeed, 1 shall bi most
happy."
We both settled down comfortably
in our chairs, and I began, keeping a
keen watch upon the face of my com
panion, who seemed just a little un
natural, but not enough to attract tbe
notice of others.
"If you are at al! conversant with
steamboating," I said, "you know
that a man on his first trip in former
days, ran a gauntlet of gamblers."
To which statement be grunted as
sent. "Hid you ever run foul of tbe
cloth T" I carelessly asked.
"Never," he innocently responded,
"except to my sorrow."
"Nor I. In tbe summer of '4 I
took passage from Cincinnati for New
Orleans as messenger for a banking
Iioum, with some ten thousand dol
lars io my vaiise a balance due the
New Orleans correspondent. I took
the Relle Islaud, as handsome a boat
as evea scraped rock with a copper
Itottom.
"Vou would naturally suppose, Mr.
Hamilton, that I kept a close eye on
that valise. Sucb was tbe case. It
as my first trip, but I felt ful'y equal
to anything, esecially as the amount
of money was t,not large for a mes
senger to transport.
At the insignificant swamp town
or Cairo a gentleman with a genteel,
cultivated appearance, boarded the
Relle, and booked himself for tbe
Red River country. You see I re-nu-mber
all the particulars. He was
active in makinir mv acouaiutance.
at which ti-Le I did not wonder, for
tbe passengers were few and of tbe
rougher sort. Io the course of two
days we were verv familliar with
each other, and had tired out almust i

"All right," said I ; for why should

"I reached my band under my bead
and found there the valise in the usu

I caressed the smooth, silvery handle,
and felt a comfort in its presence. It
was so coo' aud quiet. 'How soon,'
thought I, 'could this abasement be
prevented.'
"Tbe weapon was laid silently
against my cheek. It was refreshiLg
just tben there was a gleam at tbe
toot of my berth. In an i: sunt I
saw the door partially opened, then
closed silently. All was still as death.
Again 1 caught tbe reflection of that
light it came from a dirk! My
heart stopped beating, but the revol
ver was pointed in tbe direction of
tbe flab. For a moment not a souud
was beard. Tben the door slowly
opened and a face peeped in.
"'Sh-!' whispered tbeseeond face;
'she's going by ; wait.'
"Then tbe ierson inside peered
out, aud I saw what was up outside.
Not five rods trora us abeam was the
great hodv of another steamer plung
ing through the daiknes. Tben tbe
straining timbers and the tremendous
thuds of the engines told us we were
racing. She passed us, thank God !
for as she shot ahead a gleam of light
from her open fire room snot athwart
my door aud revealed two faces the
robbers Milbank and tbe stranger!
"Tben all was darkness. A shuf

approaching my bed! I thought two
murderous eyes gleamed upon me a

' There was a heaving of timbers
and a thunder clap. Curses gave
way to tbe crash of a thousand ci usb

up like hot and forked tongues, and
the Rell Island swam a fiery wreck.
"Were you ever blown up, Mr.
Hamilton?" I asked, eying him nar
rowly. "No, sir," he said promptly.
"Well, I was; but unlike a hun

down all right. My stateroom was

I felt myself flying through the air

ar with the facts and
circumstances alluded to. and as the
case preatly interested me at the time.
I have thought it might be or some
interest to your readers to go iuto
details more thai is done in Gover
nor Foote's brief allusion to tbe case.
Tbe young Quaker alluded to is
Tilighara R. Vestol, wbo lived near
Columbia, Tenn. When Gen.
Rragg's army was at Shelbyville,
Tenn., young Vestol was conscripted
and sent to that place. He was as
signed to duty in tbe Fourth Tennes
see regiment, commanded by Col.
Murray, of Nashville. He reported
to the regiment as required to do,
but utterly refused to perform milita
ry duty of any character or descrip
tion. Neither by threats nor persua
sion could be l induced to alter his
determination. Tbeoflieersof the reg
iment were as human as they were
true aod gallant, and, alter every ef
fort bad failed to induce Vestol to
perform tbe duties of a soldier, they
gave tbe matter up in despair, and
told bim to leave and go borne, which
he did. Rut shortly thereafter
another conscript officer came along
and Vestol was again duly enrolled
as a conscript, and ordered to report
at Rragg's headquarters. All alone
and on foot, Vestol went to Chatta
noogo, and reported at Rragg's bead
quarters. Ry a most singular coinci
dence, be was again assigned to the
Fourth Tennessee. Col. Murray,
from his Shelby villeexperience, kuew
he had a tough customer to deal
with. He concluded be would try
the force of moral suasion, so one
day he sent for Ve.-tol to come to his
quarters, aod undertook to convince
bim from tbe Scriptures that he was
wholly wrong in his ideas and posi
tion. Rut the young Quaker was
rather too much tor the gallant colonel
io the Scripture arguments and the
colonel sent for his chaplin to talk to
Vestol and convince bim that be was
altogether wronir in his refusal to
fk'bt or to iierform military duty.
The cbanlaiu came and opeued the
,
argument after this wise: "I
wouldn't give a cem lor a religion
that is opposed to my country."
Sid Vestol, "I wouldu'tgive a ceut
for a country that is opposed to my
religion." The argument lasted for
some time, but left the young Quakei
unconviuced, and determined to do
no military duty of any description.
He refused to police the camp, or to
do the least tbiug that could Ik tor
tured or constructed ioto miliary du
ty. At last Col. Murray, wholly un
able to do anything with Yestol, sent
bim to brigade headquarters. Here
he was reasoned with, and every ef
fort made to induce bim to go aud
perform the duties of a soldier, but
be was firm and indexable as tbe ev
erlasting bills. He was told tbat if
be persisted in bis course he would
lie subjected to severe punishment,
and finally would be shot for disobe
dience of orders. He replied that
tbey bad tbe power to kill bim, but
neither the rederal or Confederate
army possessed the power to force
him to abandon his principle, or
prove false to his religion. Every-
tbiog that could be constructed, di
rectly or indirectly, into military du
ty, he refused most emphatically to
engage in. He was only about eigh
teen years of age. 1 soon became
satisfied that he acted from principle,
and would go to tbe stake, or meet
death in any shape it could assume,
rather than swerve one particle from
what be bad conceived to be his du
ty. It was tbe sublimest exhibition
of moural courage I bad ever wit
nessed, aud it was the more remarka
ble from being found in a boy of only
eighteen, away from his family aod
friends
I asked bim one day if be bad no
sympathy in the contest if be bad
no preference as to which side should
be successful. "O yes," he said, "I
would prefer to see the south victori
ous, as I live in tbe south and among
southern people." I heard a gentle
man say to bim, "vestol, ilid you
ever exhibit any emotion about any
thing in your life aid you ever crv
in your life ?" "O yes," he said, "I
have cried in my life." "Well," said
the gentleman, "I would like to know
what were tbe circumstances that
caused you to cry." "Well, sir," he
said, "when I left home to come here,
my mother cried when she told me
good-by and I cried then. "Yes,"
said tbe gentleman, "and if your
mother where here now, and could
see how you are situated, she would
tell you to take your gun and go out
and do your duty as a soldier."
"No, sir,'' be quickly replied: "the
last thine my mother said to me was
to be true to my religion, and 1 mean
to do it." It was during bis stay at
Gen. Maney's headquarters tbat Ves
tol bad his iuterview with (irvernor
Foote.
Gov. Foote was at that time a
member of Ihe Confederate congress,
representing the Nashville district,
and was a caudidate for re-election.
The soldiers from Tennessee in the
army were allowed to vote, and the
governor was out electioneering
among the soldiers. While at Gen.
Maney's headquarters so mo one
pointed out Vestol to Gov. Foote, or
introduced Vestol to him, as a Qua
ker wbo wouldn't fight, when tbe ful
lowingconversation occurred between
tbera :
Foote "What, young man, won't
you fight you are a stout, good look
ing young man is it true that you
refuse to fight?"
' Vestol "Yes sir."
Foote ' Why, you are all wrong
about that. Suppose you were tc
marry a beautiful and accomplished
ed young lady, and some ruffian were
to come into your house and grossly
insult ber, wouldn't you kill him?"
Vestol "No, sir."
Foote (jumping from bis seat in
a very excited maner) "Why, I'd
kill bim io a minute."
Resuming bis seat after a minute.
the governor surveyed Vestol, and
again commenced a conversation with
bim.
Foote "Young man, you are all
wrong about this matter, even frcm a
Scriptural standpoint. When Christ
was cpon earth be directed bis disci
plea to pay tribute to Ca-sar. Tne
money thus paid went into the Ro
man treasury, and wis used in carry
ing oa tbe wars of tbe Roman peo
ple." Vestol "No sir; you are mistaken
about that. Tbe Temple of Janus
was closed at tbat lime, and there
were do wars going on."
Foote "I believe be knows more
about it tbao I do. I don't know
whether tbe Temple of Janus was
closed tben or not"
Such was substantially the inter
view betweeti this rerarVable boy
and this remarkable man. Perhaps
j two more opposite characters, in
jmany particulars, never came iu con
tact..
Vestol was ordered to Knoxville,
and fro u that place be found bis way

was applied to him repeatedly. He
bore it with the spirit of a martyr,
and tbe soldiers, seeing that he would

poses of bis soul for a mtnent. He
was under arrest all tbe while. Fre

He was afterward detained in Cas

The tradition of ibe first laudiog
of ludians io the New World has
been repeated to chosen braves over
aud over from one generation to an
o'.her, aud to this day tbe Osages
have what is supposed to be nearly
tbeorigiual language of their ances
tors. Tbey claim that their progeni
tors came in an ark or boat, aud w hile
in the vessel the Great Spirit came
and rested upon one of their cumber
aud told him to stlect six others to
assist him in governing his uatiou;
hence the origin of tbe seven original
bands of the tribe. Tbe spirit, while
in conversation with this favorite one,
directed bim to communicate what
ever instructions he received for his
people through his chosen assistants,
and to this day the name of tbe one
upon whom the spirit rested signifies
oue who talks with God. His lodge
is a sanctuary for any criminal wbo
may flee from justice or vengeance,
and he ranks with tbe highest chief
in the t. ibe. Rcfore tbey came in
contact with while people tbey lived
iu the enjoyment of peace and hup
piness, but tbey are uow realizing
that white people areas numerous as
"leaves ia the forest," aud tbat they
only coustituie a reiuuauiot tbisouce
powerful and warlike tribe, aud are
at tbe mercy of tbe white race, aud
liable to be driven backward step by
step into the waters of the oceuu.
Their religion tends to give them a
gloolny aud melancholy cast of char
acter, and aiuoug other tbiugs they
believe tbat the spirit of tbe depart
ed bovers iu anguisb around tbem un
til a scalp is taken to accompany it
to the ludian's last resting place, the
great bunting grouud, where the
spirit of tte slain enemy serves him
iu tbe most servile offices throughout
eternity. J-or this purpose, though
much has been said aud written about
the civilization of the Osages, they
vet organize mourning parlies aud go
upon tbe war path wbeu otherwise
they are peaceable.
though at nrst thought it may
strike the minds of our readers as al
most incredible, there are Masons
among 0agea. Tbey were proba
bly admitted to the secrets. rit?s, aud
privileges of this ancient institution
by the French in early days, they
being tbe first whites with wbom
tbey met. Tbey retain a part of the
workings of the craft to this day.

for tbe tribe at ibis agency, wbo is a
gentleman of culture aud largeexpe

trial, though the Indian could not
speak a word of our lauguuge, that

himself in the mysteries of the or

simply the p?rforruanee of a religious
ceremony in which is introduced all

A Thauderbolt Through a Wild Cioooe.
Huring the thuuder storm yester
day a flock of wild geese were seen
flying northward. They whirled and
changed tbeir course many limes,
but turned to tbe north after each
change. Wbeo over tbe corner 6f
Tenth and Felix streets, a streak of
lightning was seen to strike down
ward from a large cloud, ana one of
the geese dropped as if shot. An ob
server ran to the spot where the
goose was seen to fall, expecting, no
doubt, wild goose for dinner. Vpou

A Paasle lr the Doetsra.
A correspondent of the New Ha
ven (Couo.) Ileijister writes:
"Tbat mysterious relation which is
said to exist between ao amputated
limb and its parent body receives a
fresh illustration io the case of young
Palmer, w ho suffered the loss of a leg
recently, and of which mention was
made by our correspoudeuL Afier
the operation, the removed member
was deposited in a box and buried by
direction of the family. The patient
complained severely of pain, and a
sense of crampiug in ibe lost foot,
and suffered so acutely that at tbe
suggestion of some one the package
was taked upand examined. It was
found on oiieuiug that tbe box was
too sbort for tbe limb, and tbat tbe
foot aod toes bad been twisted into a
strained aud unnatural position; a
larger case was prepared and the
member placed in it in an easy posi
tion and reburied, since which time
the patient has rested quiet, and no
complaint has been made."
At tbe close of a tavern dinner two
of ibe company fell dowo stairs, tbe
one tumbling to tbe first landing
place and tbe other rolling to the
bottom. Some one remarked that
the first seemed drunk. "Yes," ob
served tbe wag, "but be is not so far
gone as tbe other gentleman below."
A somewhat numerous company
met one afternoon recently at the
bouse of M. Frederic Kastner, io
Paris, to witness his experiments
with a strange invention of bis
which be call the "Pyrophone." The
pyrophone, as it name iudicates, is
all instrument which produces souuds
by means of gas jets. It. bad lonji
been known that (lames emit sounds,
and M. Ka-tuer hirrseif bad tried ex
periments iu London; but oil tbat
day tbe sjucial public found them
selves in the presence of an almost
complete instrument composed of a
series of tras iuIsjs similar to organ
pipes, of differeut lengths and dimen
sions, in which gas jects were burn
icg, and which played some very
powerfuI and very moving morveaux.
The difficulty of tbe inveu'iou con
sisted, of course, iu regularising the
jets. Tbe theory is this: When an
isolated gas jet produces a sound,
you have only to briug aootber sinii
iar jet near it to make the sound cease.
M. Kastner, theu, has invented a con
trivance which oeus aud shuts like
the fiugers of a baud of which each
one should aliow a jet to escape.
Wbeo tbe fingers are extended tbe
sound is produced; when they are
closed or approached to each other
the souud ceases. He next regulated
the force of tbe souud by the dimen
sions of the tubes, and hy tbe height
at which the jecls were placed iu the
tubes. The coutrivauce corresponds
to the key-board of a piano, aud you
are deeply moved at hearing those
jets siug with extraordinary power,
purity, aud correctness. The audi
ence was still more astounded at sud
denly hearing the gasaliers placed in
the ceutre of the room, aud set in
uiotiou by invisible electric wire, ex
ecute "God Save the Queen" in so
norous nnd penetrating tones. Tbe
iuveution is still iu a rudiuieutary
state, but I hasten to call attention
to ii liecause it seems to me destiued
to produce a great sensation when it
shall have received the improvements
wbL-h will certainly be introduced
iuto it. Time Cort c!iionlfiit.
The Wealth of Brasll.
All intelligent travellers who have
visited Riazil speak in tbe most glow
ing terms of the country. Prof.
A gassiz regarded it as tbe most pro
ductive and interesting couutry ou
the glole, and the one iu w hich it is
the easiest to obtain a livelihood.
Some who have sailed up the Ama
z m declare that a vesi-t-1 can be load
ed with Brazil nuts at an expense of
only a few cents per bushel. These
coustit'ite a valuable article of com
merce, while the oil extracted from
them is very desirable. All tbe trop
ica! fruits are produced iu Brazil al
most without cultivation. The soil
iu many parts of the country will
produce twenty successive crops of
cotton, tobacco or sugar cane with
out the application of manure. No
country in tbe world approaches the
laud of Dom Pedro iu the variety of
its forest productions. Prof. A gas
siz states that he saw 117 differeut
kinds of valuable woods bat were
cut from a piece of land not half a
mile square. They represented al
most evjry varieiy of color, aud
many of them were capable of re
ceiving a high polish. One tree fur
nishes wax that it used for candles,
another a pith that is used for food;
and still another yields a juice which
is used in the place of intoxicating
liquor. There is a single variety of
palm from which the natives obtain
food, driuk, clothing, beddiog, cord
age, fisbiugtackle, medicine, and tbe
material they manufacture into dwell
ings, weapons, harpoons and musical
instruments. Doubtless tbe day is
not distant when the valuable woods
of Brazil wil! be used for various
useful and ornamental purposes. Bra
zil is not only "a wooded country,"
but a country that produces the most
beautiful woods in tbe world.
A Delightful Legend.
There is a beautiful legend connec
ted with the site oo which the temple
f Solomon was erected. It is said
to have Iteen occupied in common by
two brothers, one of whom had a
family, but the other bad none. Ou
the evening succeeding the harvest,
ibe wheat having, been gathered in
shocks, the older brother said to his
w ife,
"My younger brother is utiable to
hear tbe burdeu and heat of tbe day.
I will arise, take off my shocks, aud
place them with bis, without his
knowledge "
The youDger brother being actua'
ted by the same benevolent motives,
taid to himself.
"My elder brother has a family
and 1 have none. I will coutr'bute
to their support. I w ill arise, take
off my shocks aud place them with
his, without his kuowledge."
Judge of their astonishment wbeo,
on the following morning, they found
that their resjiective shocks were un
diminished. This course of events
transpired for several nights, when
each resolved iu bis own mind to
stand guard, and, if possible, solve
the nivstery. They did so, and ou
the following night, they met each
other half way between their respec
tive shocks, with their arm full.
I'pon ground ballowea by such as
sociations as this, was the temple of
Solomon built so spacious, so mag
nificent, the wonder aud admiration
of the world. Alas! in these days,
how many woul 1 sooner steal tueir
brother's whole stuck than add to it
a siugle sheaf?
MlMt for m I'alverMkl Ijtngaitge.
Yesterday afternoon, says the San
Francisco Vail, a young man much
given to slaug of the day, called on
the prosecuting attoruey aud an
uouueed that be w anted a warraut
for the arrest of a saloonkeeper wbo
assaulted him, and this is the way
be made bis want known:
Lo k-a-bere, I want a warraut for
a feller.'
' nal did be do to you?' asked tbe
attorney.
'He bred me out.'
'Fired you out! What do you mean
by tbat?'
'Oh, w ell be stood me on my head.'
'Do you mean to say that he stood
you ou your head; how did be do it?'
'He didn't exactly do tbat. but be
elevated me. Kinder raised rue off
my ear.'
'What did he do tbit foi?'
Why, I asked him for a drink,,
and wbeo I told him to chalk it iu
bis head, aud tbat w beu I come
arouut agaiu I'd kick it out, be told
me to ull dow n my vest. I tcld
him to comb bis hair, aod he just
tbeo boosted me.'
He obtaioed a warrant for assault
and battery.

"Tbe courseof true love never did
run smooth" is a time worn adage
which the majority of grown-up
folks, as a rule, give tbeir adherence
to. Whether, however, this is tbe
cause of a "dead-lock" io tbe affairs
of a newly-married couple residing
iu the township of Westminster we
know not, still tbe aonexed statement
is nevertheless tme. The male par
ticipator in the affair is, we believe,
a farmer in good circumstances, while
the bride is stated by those wbo
should know to be a rather good
looking young woman of 23 summers.
Tbe courtships are carried on as all
sucb courtships are in tbe rnral dis
tricts principally going to and re
turning from church, meetings, etc.
It was rather lengthy, and at times
people thought the disparity in tbe
ages would be a barrier, in the long
run, to tbe onion. AH such surmises,
however, were doomed to disappoint
ment, as a week or two ago the lov
ing couple were "made one," tbe
honeymoon trip indulged in, aod on
Sunday last tbe orthodox "cburcb
going" took place in a city cbapel.
Tbe most extraordinary fact, how
ever, remains to be told. While tbe
courtship was proceeding in was usu
ally understood tbat tbe couple were
uear relatives cousius, people gen
erally supposed. Tbe announcement
of tbe marriage, however, gave rise
to a good deal of further speculation
on tbe subject. But imagine tbe con
sternation of all parties concerned
when, lat week, it was discovered
that the bridegroom's father bad been
twice married; tbat be was one of
tbe first wife's family ; aud tbat tbe
bride was one of tbe second wife's!
tbcv being thus constituted stepbroth-
j er aud sister. Tbe brother left home
prior to his mother's dea'b, and never
I saw bis sister till be bad (unknown
to birc.elf) interviewed ber io tbe
I role of the lover. The young lady's
I mother li e "old man" is now dead
i since tbe discovery of tbe above
facts has been almost distracted. Of
course, the gossips are having a Dice
lime iu discussiug the matter; but
tbe newly-married couple have not
yet given auv definite reply to the
uumerous inquiries as to what tbey
mean to do. Said tbe bride to tbe
female interrogator the otber day,
"We like one auoiber ; we have been
married, aud what can we do ?" Al
though there may be a little difficulty
iu disposing of such ;a querry, the
ouly apparent way out of the difficul
ty is a speedy separation, as ueither
legally or socially are the parties mar

Tbe amount of fatigue, exposure,
aud abstiueuce, which a mule will en
dure, says a writer, seems almost
fabulous. Making long marches
across dusty, sbadeless plains, going
for long intervals witbout water aud
with very little food, ooliged to pull
loads sometimes amounting to five
thousand two hundred pounds, up
sleep bills and through heavy sloughs,
subject to cruel treatment and neglect
from the teamster, the life of ao ex
pedition mule is miserable enough
No wonder tbat wbeo tbe mule re
turns be looks woefully angular and
tbin. The poor animal is frequently
driven until be completely gives out,
wbeu be is thanklessly turned iuto
the herd of broken down mules.
There is scarcely a more melao
cbolly sight tbao sucb a berd. It is
a ro,veiog boneyard. Gaunt, lean,
with drooping ears, hips tbat rise like
promontories above tbe general deso
lation, a disconsolate tail, aud a woe
begone visage wbich would frighten
an experienced ghost the poor bank
rupt mule is tbe most wretched par
ody on Gothic architecture tbat ever
was forced on tbe public attention.
Every vestige of meat has Sed from
bis bones. He is a walking transpa
rency, ao animated bat-rack, aod I
have actually seen his hip bones ir
reverently used to bang teamster's

Philadelphia, May 10. It is es

Governors II art ran ft, Bedle, Carroll
visited tbe buildings erected by tbeir
btates respectively and held informal
receptions Gov. Rice, of the Mas
sachusetts building, was welcomed
by Commissioner Loriog. He was
escorted to tue receptioo by tbe Bos
ton Cadets, wbo oo tbeir return to
tbe city were joined by the Lancers.
His visit was somewhat more formal
than the others and was the only one
attended by any military display.
Tbe illumiuatioo . io tbe city to
night was oo a grand scale. Tbe old
State House building was tbe grand
center of attractioo, aod at one lime
the crowd was so great oo Chestnut
street tbat it was almost impossible
to pass. Calcium lights were thrown
upon the historical building, and ev
erything was as brilliant as daytime.
The many points of interest were in
spected by tbe people, large numbers
of wbom were strangers. Geo. Grant
was serenaded to-nigbt, but no
speeches were made.
A Parlalaa Harrar.
A restaurant keeper went into his
cellar to bottle several casks of wine
be bad received. He left bis bead
servaDt io charge of tbe establish
ment. Three hours after he went
into tbe cellar, a gentleman called to
see bim, and tbe servant went down
stairs to summon bim. Tbe servant
ran back in great terror, and could
only gasp,
"Be quick .be rats my master!"
All the persons present ran into
tbe cellar to which tbe almost speech
less servant pointed, and found a
black mass oo tbe floor; it was the
restaurant keeper, with rats swarm
ing so thickly on him as to conceal
him entirely. Tbey were devouring
bim. It was necessary to kick tbem
off, so engrossed were tbey with
tbeir delicious meal. It was some
lime before their victim could be
restored to consciousness, when be
said be remembered feeling faint soon
after be entered the cellar, and this
was all be knew. He bad swooned
aod the vermin had e warmed on bim.
It is feared be will be disfigured for
life.
