How to communicate tbeir danger;
to bi-r father without tboso terrible,
eyes noticing it,- Carrie eonld not
tbiok. Suddenly a bright idea came
to ber.'
"Father," she said aloud, "kt me
tcke a card and pencil. . 1 wish to
make a memorandum of some items
1 want to purchase in the village.
Her father handed ibtm to ber, af
ter stowing away bis belt. ; Carrie
wror tremblingly in a fine band :
"1 at ber, do not be frightened ; we
are in a trap. , Uo into the opposite
corner of tbe room, where your face
will be in tbe dark, and look at tbe
bust above the door. In it you will
tee two glittering eyes that bave
watrbed you count your money,"
Read It." she said alond. banding
e card to ber tatber. "I want you
the
to eee if you tbiok I am too extrara

ITer father betrayed no , emotion
while be read it, but said ;
"Vou are pretty extravagant, Car
rie. 1 suppose you think your father
is made of money." And be arofe
und west to tbe wasbsisod, which
was in a dark corner.
Once there be glanced toward tbe
Uuft, aDd the glance confirmed bis
daughter's extraordinary statement
Wbcu be came back to bis seat, Car
rie "saw that tbe eyes were gone.
Thea leaning toward ber father, she
paid in a low tone :
"You see it is as I said. I bave
thought of a plan, however, by wbicb
we can both escape. Ycu would be
perfectly helpless iu an affray of ety
kind, on account' of your lame leg,
S3 I must try to save us both."
Then followed a whimpered consul
tation, during which Carrie kept ber
eyes fixed oa tha bnst ; but the glit
tering eyes bad not come back. As
she coaclnded, Carrie went to tbe
window, threw Unp, and looked out
Ilcckoning to ber father, who came,
be said, or rather whimpered :
"Vou see that shed. Father? Well,
they probably come up on it and pet
through the window. I do not think
they will make tbe attack before
twelve, so I will get out t this win
dow, jump from this shed, go to tbe
barn and take our horse and go to
S , for help.". , ; ,
Flinging a wrap over her slight
figure, she embraced ber father ten
derly, and bidding hint not worry
over ber, the jumped lightly out oa
tbesbed aod disappeared .
Mr, . Spencer watched ber for a
wbile, tben eloping tbe window, took
out bis 'watch, saw that it was nine
o'clock, and proceeded to work. He
first covered op tbe fire, blew ont
'be light and roiled up a blanket,
with which he made a dummy. This
he placed in the bed which bis daugh

down and waited.
Ten, fifteen, twec.tr, minutes went

window and peeped ont, but be could

Tbe sheriff and his posse held the

vice-like graRp, while Carrie related
tbe adventures of ber perilous

"After I left tbe bara I led Tommy

and turning to a fine looking man
near ber, eaid, "Mr. James, by bis
ready belief in what I told, and bis
energy and spirit in arousing tbe
sheriff aod bis men, bas )en tbe
main cause in bringing assistance.
Mr. Spencer grasped tbe .young
man's band and thanked bim.
"Your plan succeeded admirably,
Carrie," be said ; and advancing to
tbe wasbstand, be took out tbe mon
ey belt, saying, "my money is all
right, tt you see." ,
The landlord quivered with rage
os be saw bow completely be had
ben defeated.
As tbe men began to search tbe
room the landlo-d protested bis in
nocence, declaring that they bad no
right to bold bim or bis men prison
ers, or to Bi-arcb tbe bouse. .
Breaking open the door, above
wbicb was the bust, tbe men rushed
in. The roomjwas empty, save frra
long ladder, which reached a shelf
above tbe door. A bole above tbe
sbelf disclosed tbe bust to ba broken
io half so that a roan could easily
climb op tbe ladder, get on tbe shelf,
thrupt bia bead in tbe bust, wbicb
was large enough for an ordinary
man's head, and see all that was
oiog on in tbe adjoining room.
This certainly looked suspicious,
but absolute proof was yet wanting.
On returning to the room occupied
by Mr. Spencer, tbey again searched
every nook and corner. Suddenly
Carrie and Mr. James, who had been
stac'liog by tbe fireplace, gave a
lood cry, for oo close examina'.ioo,
they bad found spots of blood on tbe
brick wbicb formed tbe hearth.
Tbey began to pull op tbe bricks,
which proved loose, - wben Carrie.

and bis men, who aoon bad tbem all
pulled op, wben a cavity was disckx -
ed, containing tbe murdered body of

evidence was conclusive.
Tbe landlord and bis confederates
were well guarded through tbe night
and tbe next day were lodged in jail,
where in due time they were sentenc
ed and goffered the extreme penalty
of tbe law.

and impenetrable darkness below.
Tbis adytum is ten feet loog and
four wide, and the charm seems to
yawn, and Its great month is horri
ble to contemplate.
Rude people la tbe vicinity call it
"Hell's Hole" or tbe "Indian Pit"
From the measareless abyss there is
8aes,ceaseless as tbe lapse of boors aod
days and years, a volume of mist.
Oo cold, clear, frosty mornings ft
rises in spiral columns far above the
tree tops, and.wbitencd a it ascends,
and gleaming io the sunlight, it floats
away and is lost in the cloudn. At
some unknown period ia tbe world's
history mother eartb breathed beavi
ly. aod great boulders, worn rouud
and smooth as if ground by frictioo
wben upheld by currents of air, and
fl!iut' back again and again, lifted up
and rnbbed by other stones, cover
the hillside aod bave rolled from the
cavern's moutb into the valley below.
People dwelling near by tell that
ia fall and winter the heavy stertor
ous breathings from the cavern are
much warmer than sharp blasts
sweeping along tbe deep gorge, while
in summer the misty vapor from
within ia cooler than tbe exterior at
mosphere. Tbis fathomless pit
grows wider iu its downward course,
and nothing living or inanimate that
bas entered ever found exit. - - ot the
faintest echo was ever beard wben
great stones bave been rolled into
tbe awful depth of this dtscentm
Jrrrni. If such massive boulders
bad encountered any object within
miles of the entrance tbe sound pro
duced would bave been surely borne
tc listeners above by tbe strong,
steady air-current.
The impression fixed from child
hood to age, that lbe solid earth
must be forever immovable beneath
our feet as surely and immovable as
the sun and stars aQd blue rBQt
above our heads, is rudely shaken
when one stand, ia the presence of
such demonstrable nollownesa aod
emptiness as this. Very much tbe
same sensations are excited when
standinr at tbe pit's mouth as when
an earthquake shakes land aod sea
and make, men and women sbadder.
Wben, not Ions ago, it was sought
to ascertain tbe depth of tbe chasm,
a heavy weight was attached to a
strong cord, tbo lead went down,
down, down, till the line and plum
met bad measured tbe greatest pos
sible depth, but no sound came back
to tell tha end of unutterable bollow
nes. below. Tbe wreia-bt, wben with
drawn, was nnsoiled. and by tbe
rooistore on its sorface showed that
io its descent and ascent it touched
notkinr but mist and darkness.
Tbe very bollowness of life and its
evanescent pleasures are almost il
lustrated in physical facts discovered

Doted for its eyeless fishes below tbe
earth's surface, and tboogb . tbe

twelve miles from its entrance, those
who bave traversed its depths and
labyrinths concur in tbe assertion that
there are other caves beyond the re
motest yet explored, and grander an d
deeper than tboso tbiat attract tbe ca
rious from all lands.
Near Union City, in Tennessee,
and near tbe soutb-westera confines
of Kentucky, is Reelfoot Lake. Here
tbe roof of a mighty cavern was
sbaken down by tbe earthquake of
181112. .Lofty forest trees, tbe
tallest that tower abuve the lowlands,
disappeared with the land on wbicb
tbey grew, and a sea, broader and
deeper tban that of Galilee, was oat
spread in crystal clearness in the
midst of tbe lowlands. Ducks and
geese fleck its surface and trout
abound ia tbe modern lake that bad
never reflected tbe son's face on its
fathomless depths iill tbe bridge of
soil and trees and cane was broken
down by the earthquake's resoonding
footsteps. ' -,
Where tbe railway from Nashville
te Hickman, Ky , on the Mississippi,
crosses that 'rem Mobile to Cairo aod
Chicago stands the town of Union
City. It is ten miles from this lake.
It has been stated that wben heavy lo

come ro&hing by, hotels ad station

from mantles aod - tables, i id that
bollowness in wbicb tbe for ,t disap

extends, it bas been allegf-d; beneath

of tbis lake is not that of tbe Missis
sippi. It is of crystal brightness and
clearness, sncb as distinguishes tbe
river in tbe depths of Mammoth Cave,
while tbe great river above ' ground,
bearing alluvium from northwestern
mountains, is tawny in iu yellow
ness and impervious to visioo.
Wben tbe earthquake . of 1811 12
was most violent and tbe night was
of extraordinary darkness, tbe Mis
sissippi flowed backward, aod flat-!
boats in the vicinity of ilickmsn j
drifted backwards forty miles toward
Cairo. A mighty volume of river,
flood-tide receded into measureless
caverns beneath tbe country 's. 'Mr

gration report that in tbe discbarge
ot their duty tbey have examined
130 witnesses, representing all class
es, ioiereetta, and sbadea on tbe Pa
cific coast. Tbey And that the influx
of cheap and docile labor from Asia
baa been a grea thing for. that coast
so far as material development ia con
cerned, and that many of tbe capital
ists and employing class have made
money out of it. Oo tbe other band
tbey bod that these laborers, naviug
oo families to support aod educate,
living oo cheap fucj, berdiog togeth
er in miserable lodg igs, being thus
able to live on wagw- oa wbicb white
men would ttarve, aye practically
tuoQopolircd a numt r of trades aod
avocations, and in o; ters arc gradu
ally crowding white competition to
tbe wall. Tbe result is that white
mechanics and laborers ss a ciass,
are bitterly opposed to tbis immigra
tion, aod with good reason. In ibis
tbey bave tbe sympathy of the
wealthier classes, including several
clergymen. Tbe committee find that
tbe habits of the Chinese in Sao
Francisco sod elsewhere are so filthy
as to be a perpetual menace to the
physical aud moral health of tbe
community; that tbey remain a dis
tinct class, obstinately rttaioiog their
own dress, language, customs and
religion ; that tbey bave no respect
for our laws, or love for our insula
tions, if indeed tbey bave mental ca
pacity to understand them ; that their
only interest iu tbe country is to
make enough money to livu on io
China, aod tbat as uooa a ibis is
done tbey go back, making room fur
others. But tbe iuflow is greater
tbao the outflow, aud in view of ibis
discouragement io wbile emigration
tbere is i-erious danger, iu tbe commit
tee's judgment, that tue Pacific coaal
may oeMougo iin zed. Tbis ouce ac
complished, ine tide of pagan ninii
gration would pour over tbe Rjcky
Mountains and. roll eastward. Jf
these people are to stay here, they
need the ballot for their protection,
aod tbe theory of our institutions re-
qiires ibat tbey should have it. But
to give it to tbem woold be political
suicide, as far as California aod tbe
Pacific coast is conceroed. Tbere
are enough of tbem to decide every
election, and lbe head men could sell
tbe voles in block to tbe highest bid
der. After touching on other minor
topics among tbem tbe commercial
honesty of the Chinese merchants,
the wortblessneosot Cuiueee evidence,
tbe feuds and bloody affrays between
Cbioamen from different provinces,
their cruelty to the sick and the
women, &c. tbe committee taking
all lbe facts into consideration, rec
ommend that tbe existing treaty with
China be so modified and bach legis
lation be provided by Coogress as to
cbejk the influx of Cbiu.nien into
this country. Tbey would bave tbis
done with due regard to accrued
rights and to humanity, aod they
hope tbe Chinese Government will
see the matter in tbe proper light
But tbe first duiv is to tbe Pacific
States aad Territories.
Ak the Old Wanraa.
A geotlemao traveling out West
relates the following :
Riding horseback jast at night,
through ibe woods in Signor county,
Michigan, I came into tbe clearing,
in the middle of which stood a log
house, its owner sitting in tbe open
door, smoking bis pipe. Stoppiug my
horse before bim, tbe following coo
vernation ensued :
"Good evening, sir," said I.
"Good evening."
"Can 1 gel a glass of milk of yon to
drink:"
"Well. 1 don't know. Ask the old
woman."
By this time bis wife was standing
at bis side.
"Ob, yes," said sbe, "of course you
can."
. While drinking it I asked :
"Tbiok we are going to bave a
storm ?"
"Well, I really don't know. Ask
tbe old woman sbe can tell."
"I guess we shall get one right
away, said tbe wife.
Again 1 asked :
"How much laod bave you got
cleared here V
"Well, 1 really doo't koow. Afck
the old woman sbe knows."
"About cioeteeo acres," said sbe
again aoswering.
Just then a troop of children came
running and shouting around tbe cor
ner of ibe shanty.
. "AH these your children ? said I. '
"Doo't kuow. Ask tbe old woman
sbe knows."
I did not wait to bear any reply,
but drew up the reins and left imme
diately.

Tbe territory known as tbe State
of Wisconsin was claimed by France
on tbe grjund ot discovery by its
missionaries and teachers in 1690,
who governed it until tbey ceded it to
Great Britain. It was held by tbe
British nation until 1782, when sbe
ceded all her possessions northeast of
tbe Ohio to the I oited States. Wis
consin was thea thrown under tbe
territorial government of Ohio by an
ordinance of 1787. Uo tbe 4th of
July 1S00. tbe Indian territory was
organized, and it was attached to
lb at territory uotil April 18, 1818,
wben Illinois became a State. It
was then attached to lbe Territory of
H isconsiu, July 5tb, 1836; so tbat
Wiscusin was governed by . the
kiog of France 93 years; tbe kiog of
Great Britain 20 years; by tbe Ter

years, when on tbe 13tb of March,

PISCRlFTIOX Of TBI STPKRBK CARS
SOW BKISO COXSTRVCTED,
For aoase tima we bave beard bints
of a Fine of hotel ears for tbe Omaha
& California line of the Chicago A
North-Western Railway. . When
naked aboot ; their cars, the officer
have uniformly evaded a direct
reply ' Onr "reportorial inkt'neta''
taught us to investigate tor ourselves.
We bave done so, and are now en-
abled to state potitirely tbat such a
line will be started in the early spring,
aod tbat tbe cars are now being
built. The fact will no longer be a
secret after tbis day's psper get be
fore the public. ,
Four of the most magnificent hotel
cars tbat hare been built anyv.hrre,
are now being constructed by thc
Pnllman Palace Car Company ex
pressly for ibis lioe. .. These cars will
be sixty -six feet loog, tea feet wide
aod teo feet bigb, with twelve sec
tions, one drawing-room (with table
room for six persons), aod oon state
room, besides the kitcheo, china
closet, dressing room, etc. Tbe in
terior will be furnished with black
aod white walnut, mahogany, French
asb, aod cnrled maple, tbe placs of
the usual bead-lining being filled in
with foreign polished woods; tbe
panels between tbe windows will ' he
ot California laurel and other Cali
fornia woods; tbe lamp fixture?,
window fastenings, door hardware,
etc., will be of triple plated silver,
Tbe upholstery of the seats is to be
of rich but plain reps, corresponding
aod harmonizing with lbe wood
finish of lbe sides aod roof of the cars;
Between each set of seats is pace
for a table that will accommodate
four persoos coinfortaoiy,' but as a
rule are not expected to seal more
tban two - perpen. The . glas. aud
eainaware for tb tables are uu
being made at Dresden, Germany,
from patterns selected from tbe Royal
Dresden exhibit that wa at the
Centennial Exhibition and so greatly
admired Each piece of silver-ware,
glass-ware and china-ware will have
tbe monogram of lbe Chicago A
North-Western road marked thereon.
Tbe kitchens of tbe cars will be so
arranged tbat oo fumes frjm tbe
cookiog viauds can reach tbe occu
pants ot tbe berths. Oo esch car
will be a steward, two cooks, three
waiters, aod a chambermaid t- wait
upon tbe lady patrona It is the in
tention of tbe company to furnish tbe
best meals that money cso buy, and
choice wines and cigars will be at
tainable by tbose desiring those
luxuries.
These hotel cars will leave Chica
go oo tbe 'California Express," sod
ruo through to tbe Missouri river.
Oo the wcst-boooJ train, dinner,
supper and breakfast will be served.
Tue east-bound hotel cars will leave
Omaha on tbe "Atlantic Express"
each day, in the afternoon. Oo tbis
train supper, breakfast and dinner
will be served. Thus passengers
bound in either direction will be en
abled to bave all their meals m route.
and yet not leave their palatial travel
iog parlor.
Tbe only objection that has ever
been raised against tbe use of hotel
ears has been connected with the
odors of tbe kitchen. As we said
liefore, this, in these cars, will entire
ly be obviated ; no persoo, no matter
bow particular be or sbe may be,
will have cause to make any objec
tions on tbis score. In tbe dining
car you merely get your meals, and
as soon as you are through eating
you are shoved out and started for
tbe coach or sleeper, so as to make
room for some other traveler who
desires your place. While in these
hotel cars your berth will be secured
through, you will own it absolutely
for the length of your trip, and it
will be your own for lounging, sitting,
sleeping", and eating purposes, as
much as your own seat in your own
boose. As it is not generally known,
dining cars are never run over the
entire length of any route; thev
are taken on aod set off of
tbe train ' at stated meal times,
while these hotel cars will be
made a part of tbe train and ruo
through io the same way as tbe regu
lar sleeping car.
' On the admirable steel rail tbat 1
now laid on tbe Chicago A North
Western Railway, these elegant, tix-teeo-wheeled
hotel csrs will ride as
easy and with as little noise or oscil
lation as a balloon tbat floats seretse'y
through tbe air ; aod we believe it
will be found to be a result tbat
tbousaod will flock to tbis "Pioneer
Line," who bave hitherto gone by
some otber route.
With these and other improve
ments the people oi Cedar Rapids are
very largely interested and we be
lieve will join with us in congratu
lating tbe progressive management
of ibis great line io ibis iu most
advanced step; and onite with os io
sayiog, tbe Chicago k North-West-ero
Railway bas become the fore
most road ia all the West.
The hotel csrs will be placed ia
service aboot March 1st, 1877. e-

aa-arlas; Orchard.
There would seem to be no good
reason whv, if we wish to raiie good
orchard fruits, we should not manure
our trees. People often look at trees
growing on rockv hill-sides, aod ar
gue therefrom tbat trees grow with
out manure. They koow tbat pota
toes and otber vegetables must bave
manure or tbev will not thrive, but
tbey regard trees as a different order
of vegetation, sometbiog tbat can
thrive aod flou.-ish where nothing
else would. But m cane of trees oo
bill-sides, lbe land is anything but
poor, lbe rocks tberoseivea oiieu
eontain valuable mineral matter.
wb'cb, as tbe rock decay p, is preeen !
ed io a form that plants cau fred up
on. Tben whatever vegetation grows
among tbe rocks remains there to de
cay, and even leaves and other for
eign substances that blow into tbe
crevices formed by tbe rock make a
valuable plant food, va ab ch the
trees thrive. Indeed, tree io appar
ently poor, rocky places, are really
much be tier ofT than many trees iu
orchards, where tbey are iu what ap
pears good land.
lo more l-vel land, trees must be
manured. In maoy cases, it is neces
sary to tbe bett success that trees
bave an occasional manunog as it is
tbat any oibtr crop should bave
manure. There bave been many
discussions as to whether msnure fur
frait trees should be applied broad
cast or ploughed in. For orchard
trees there is oo rule ; it depeods oo
circumstaoces. if the trees are on
ground where vegetables are grown,
tee manure is, of course, turned io
for tbe beoefit of these crops, and tbe
roots of tbe fruit trees fight with
tbose of tbe vegetables for some oi
It, and get it, too. iioi tbere are
maoy orchards where no crops are
grown but tbe trees, aod then it is
an eicellent practice to apply manure
a. a top dressing at least every
otber year, if yon would bave tbem
bear abundance of good fruit Box
