"There's some advantage in steam," growled an old gentleman in the corner seat; "wind ahd weather don't affect it. No flesh and blood horse could stand a night like thi?, but the iron horse keeps straight ahead, whether the thermometer is at zero or at boiling water beat." " Just then, the conductor entered. iTiftl8 contlpmsn. if von nlease." "Tt'a a dreadful nieht. conductor," " said, feeling'with stiffened fingers, for my ticket, in my vest pocket. "Dreadful, sir, responded the conduc tor. "Why the brakesmen can t live outside, and so I look the other way when they creep in, poor fellows, to get a breath of warm air at the stove. We haven't had such a night since a year ago, when Tom Blakeslee, the baggage master, froze both his feet, and a woman who was coming on from Chicago got off at Blinn's Four Corners with her baby in her arms a corpse !" " "Frozen to death I" Aye, frozen to 'death, and she never ht, poor thing, but what it was asleep. Oly baby's cold says she, 'but we 11 soon warm it when we get home. It was just such a night as this." And the conductor opened the door, and plunged across the coupling into the next car, crying out: "Hardwick !" It was quite a considerable city with a handsome iron depot, flaring gas lamps, and the usual crowd around the platform, with its hands in its pockets and its cigar ends flaming through the night. Our car was nearly the last of the long train, and but one passenger entered it a slender young girl, wrapped in a gray blanket shawl, and wearing a neat little traveling hat of gray straw, trimmed with stone-colored velvet flowers. She seemed to hesitate, like one unused to traveling, and finally sat down near tbe door. "Pardon me, young ?ady," said I, "but you had better come nearer the stove." She started, hesitated an instant, and then obeyed. "Does the train go to Bayswater?" she asked, in a voice so delicious! v soft and sweet that it seemed to thrill through me. "Yes. Can I be of any service to you 7" "No; at least not until we reach Bays- water. I would like a carriage, then. "We shall not be there yet, theso three hours." "Do we stop again ?" "Only at Exmouth." She drew a deep sigh, reemingly of reuet, and settled back in a corner, iij the light of the lamp that hung in its brass fixtures opposite, I could seeher face, that of a iovely'child. Apparently she was not more than sixteen, with large blue eyes, golden hair drawn straight away from her face, and a little rosy mouth like that ot a- baby. . rv . r a . "xjo you expecc.inenas to meet you at JJayswater, my child : 1 asked. "No sir I am going to school there; "It will be an awkward hour lor you to arrive by youraelt one in the morning. "Oh, I am not afraid," she said, with an artless little laugh ; "I shall go straight to the seminary. So the express train thundered on with steady, ceaseless pulsations of its iron heart and a constant roar. Suddenly the signal whistle sounded and the train began to slacken its peed. "Surely we are not at Exmouth, yet," I thought, "unless I have fallen uncon sciously asleep, and allowed the progress of time to escape me." I glanced at my watch ; it was nearly half past eleven, and I knew we were not due at Exmouth until a few minutes alter twelve. I rubbed the frost from the window pane and looked out. We had 6topped at a lonely little way station in the midst of denso pine woods. "Is this Exmouth ?" "No I don't know what place this is; some way station." "Does this train stop at way stations 7" "Never, generally ; they must havo been especially signalled here. You are cold, my child, your voice trembles." "It is cold' she said in a scarcely audible voice, drawiug her shawl around her. "Oh, I wish they would hurry on on on I" "We are moving once more," I 6aid. "Conductor" for the man with the tick ets was passing through the car, "why did we stop at that backwoods place ?" "Out of water," - was the reply, as he hurriedly passed by. Now I knew perfectly well that this answer was not the true solution of the matter. . Our delay had. not exceeded half a minute, altogether too short a time for replenishing the boilers j and where on earth was the water to come from in that desolate stretch ot barren pine woods 1 Fire minutes after the conductor en tered the car ; I made room for him at my side. "Sit down, conductor you've nothing to do this minute." , lie obeyed. r .. '.. : "What did you, roea.n by tolling xne sueb a story just now " " I spoke under my breath : he replied i in the same tone. . . -.. "About what?" " . :. . , .. "About the reason you stopped just now." . He smiled. . . - p "To tell you the truth, I stopped , to tak on a single passenger a gentleman who has come down from Bayswcter." "For the pleasure of traveling once more' over the same route V ."Exactly so for the pleasure of trav eling it in certain society. Do not be alarmed for your own safety it's a detec tive policeman 1" is 'about 'to' repeat the words in as tonishment when he motioned me to keep silence. ' "Who is the offender ?" I asked. "I don't know myself yet. He doesn't want a scene until the moment of arrest; therefore we ere safe - enough until we reach Bayswater." . . "Where is he 7" . "The detective 7 He sits by the door yonder, with a ragged fur cap pulled over his eyes. Did you ever see a more per fect specimen ot the dilapidated country man ! I smiled at the figure pointed out to me ; I could not help it. "What is the case ?" 1 inquired. "A murder a man and his wife and their two little children their throats cut last night, and the house burned down afterwards." "Great heavens I" We had continued the conversation throughout in a whisper, scarcely above our breath, and now the conductor rose and left me to study the faces of my fel low passengers with a curious feeling of dread and horror. Somehow, often as I revolved the mat ter in my mind, my fancy would settle on a coarse, gross-looking man opposite me, with a bushy beard and a shaggy wool coat, the latter with the collar turned up around his ears. I felt conviuced that this man of brutal eye and heavy, hang ing jaw was the Cain, and as 1 looked furtively . across, I caught the wide-open eyes of the fair little girl fixed on me. Obeying the instantaneous impulse of my heart, I rose and went to her. "You heard what we were paying, my child r - "Yes a murder how horrible I" ' "Do riot be-rightened : no one shall hurt you. .She' smiled up io my face with sweet, confiding innocence. Our stop at Exmouth was brief ; but during tho delay, I could see that the watchful detective had changed his seat for one nearer the brutish man in the shaggy coat. "See," faltered the young girl, "they locked the doors at Exmouth ; they are unlocking them now. "Probably they were fearful that the criminal would escape," I remarked in an undertone. "Will you may I trouble you to bring me a glass of water?" asked the girl. I rose and made my way towards the cooler by the door, but with difficulty, for the train was in rapid motion. To my disappointment, I found the tin goblet chained to the shelf. "No matter, said she, with a .smile; "I will come myself." I drew the water and held up the cup; but instead of taking it aa she approach ed, she brushed suddenly past me, opened the door, and rushed iut on the platform. "Stop her ! stop her !" shouted the de tective, springing to his feet; "she will be killed. Conductor brake Jien hold up!" There was a rush, a tumult, a bustle. I was the first upon the platform, but it was empty and deserted, save by a half frozen looking brakeman, who seemed horror-stricken. "She went past me like a shadow, and jumped off as we crossed the Cairn turn pike," he stammered. - - "Jumped off the express train !" ex claimed the conductor. "She must have been killed instantly." j "It's five hundred dollars out of my pocket," said the detective, ruefully. "I didn't want a row before we got to Bays water, but I was a confounded fool. A woman cornered will do anything, I be lieve !" . "What !" I ejaculated ; "you surely do not mean that that child " "I mean," said tho detective, calmly, "that that child, as you call her, i: Attiia Burton, a married woman of twenty-six years of age, who last night murdered four persons in cold blood," and was now trying to escape to Canada. That's what I mean!" The train was stopped, and a party of us, headed by the conductor and detec tive, went back to search for the young oreature whose loveliness and apparent innocence had appealed to my sympathies so strongly. Nor was it long till we found her, lying by the 6ide of the track, quite dead, and mutilated by the force ot the fall almost beyond recognition, v . .Well, she's escaped justice in this world, if not in the next," said 'the detec- tive, gloomily, as he etood looking down upon her' remains. "Do yon. suppose she expected to" be apie to spring on tne train wunoui inju U JL . "Without much injury yes; women are unreasoning CTeatures. Rut I never dreamed of such inaane folly, or I should have taken prompt measures to have pre vented it." . They lifted up the fair, dead body, and carried it to the nearest place of refuge a lonely farm house among the frozen hills, and we returned to the train, reach ing Bayswater only a few miuutea behind our regular time. And when I read the account of the murderess in the next morning's papers, JL thought ot the slender creature a blue eyes and rose bud mouth, with a 6traoge, pitying thrill at my heart. The Official Report Relative to tho Capture of Jeff. Davis. 1 winning ry7" I tike. Letter from Kansas. Leavenworth!, Kansas, April 2G, 1867 To the Editor of The Alleahanian : On Wednesday, 24th instant, at about fifteen minutes before 3 o'clock, there happened an event which startled our people from the quiet of their ways, and Oiled the streets with crowds of wonder ing, fearing mortals an earthquake. It was first noticeable from a steady vibra tion of tho earth lasting some twenty-five 6cconds ; then came a Ehort pause, fol lowed by a terrible rumbling as of thunder and tempest combined, accompanied by a terrific jar, as if the earth itself rebelled against man and man's work. The motion of the earth during the initial stage of the event seemed like that apparent to one who lic3 upou the ground near by while a ponderous train of cars is passing. The duration of the first shock was hardly long enough to permit one to realize what was happening, and the pause or intermission io the vibration naturally left the impres sion that it nad been caused by some su perterrene incident. Rut the second shock came with such vehemence and power that all rushed instantly to the open air. The streets were filled with crowds of terror-stricken people, all more or less pallid or flashed, as fear or excite ment held the mastery. All were unu sually talkative, and it was soon settled that we had had an earthquake a genu ine earthquake, aud a violent one at that. Its effects were only apparent during its continuance Huge three and four storv brick buildings seemed toppling from roof to loundatiou; windows were violently shaken; a terrible rumbling, accompanied byjajsort of hissing sound as of iuipalpa- me wma, was neara ; ana an electric cur- rent passea violently tnrough toe air, every living thing being sensible of its effect, though too much alarmed to com prehend it. Business houses were dam aged to a small extent, dry goods being piled promiscuously on the floor, earthen ware displaced, and in many instances plastering torn from the aeiling. Alto gether, it was an event long to be remem bered, and I doubt not the panic-stricken crowd? that filled tbe streets on that day will remember it with feelings of awe and trembling. The Indian war is fast assuming some definite shape. Gen. Hancock is now at Fort Zarah with his command, numbering some 4,000 men. Gen. Custar had quite a skirmish with a body of red-kins on the 19th, and succeeded in sending six or eight to their "happy hunting ground." Tbe latest news from "the frout" is that a large body of Cheyennes, Brule Sioux, and Kiowa, estimated at from 400 to 500 lodges, which would give a fighting force ot from 2,000 to 2,500 warriors, is en camped about thirty miles west of Fort Zarah, on or near what is called "Cima rone crossing," and it is expected that Gen. H. will move forward soon and at tack them, should they possess enough courage to make a stand. Gen. Hancock is an able soldier, but ho lacks the men to prosecute a successful campaign against these prairie hordes. All signs will fail if we do not this summer see an onslaught made by the painted savages on the fron tier settlements and the lines of travel across the plains, more formidable and carried on with greater persistence than any Indian war since the death of Tecum seh. Their fancied wrongs, magnified and aggravated by the timid, hesitating policy of the Government, have filled their hearts with feelings of bitterest re venge against the whites. Had Gen. H. enough men to "corral" the dusky war riors, instead of being obliged to submit to their insults he could avenge the mur der of white men in the blood of ten times the number of their murderers. Say what we will, the false humanitarian pol icy of dealing gently with the Indians cill not do. The bleaching bones of thousands of whites along the great roads offer "their grim, silent protest against it; the interests of progress and civilization forbid its further continuance, and the .safety of the frontier settlements and the prevention of a repetition of scenes like those of Minnesota and Fort Phil Kear ney cry out against it. - Kaw. In a violent quarrel in' San Francis co, between a Chinaman and a Jew, tbe former exclaimed in wrath and scort:- "Oh, yepsee my savvy you you kilhe Mellican man's Josh !"

'Bankruptcy : the buds are bursting Last January, the House Comraitte, on claims was instructed to investigate and report all the facts connected with the capture of Jeff. Davis. The evidenca taken pursuant to that authority has just been published, aud contains a few inter esting details. The main facts are the same as appeared immediately after Jeff. Davis' capture, but there are some points cleared up which have been enveloped until now in some little doubt aud uncer tainty. . , The evidence comprises a deposition of General J. H.' Wilson, made before tho committee on the 27th of January last; a lengthy report by the same officer to General Grant, bearing date January 17, 1867, and report by Generals E. F, Winslow and A. J. Alexander,. Colonel Henry Harnden, Lieutenant O. P.Clinton' and private J. J. Alpin ot the First Wis consin cavalry. The report of General Wilson gives a full account of the capture, the unfortunate mistake between Colonels Pritchard and Harnden, and the condition of the arch traitor at the moment of hia apprehension- The General sticks to the old version, that Jeff. Davis was disguised partially in tbe attire of a female, alluding to the subject in the following language ; "During the firing of the skirmish just referred to, the adjutant of the Fourth Michigan, Lieutenant J. G. Dickinson; after having looked to the security of the rebel camp, and.sent forward a number of the men who had straggled, was about to go to the front himself, when his attention was called by one of the men to threo persons in female attire, who -had appa rently just left one of the large tents near by, and were moving towards the thick woods. He started at once towards them, and called out, "Halt." But not hearing him, or not caring to obey, they continued to move off. Just then they were con fronted by three men, under direction of Corporal Muoger, coming from an oppo-' site direction. The corporal recognized ona of the persons as Davis, advanced carbine, and demanded his surrender., Tbe three persons halted, and, by the actions of the two who afterwards turned out to be women," all doubt as to the'iden-' tity of the third person was removed.' The individuals thus arrested were found to be Miss Howell, Mrs. Davis and Jeffer son Davis. As they walked, back to .the fent from whiclr ;theyTTa"3 "trieiTto" escaped Lieutenant Dickinson observed that Davis' high top boots were not covered by his disguise, which fact, probably, led to his recognition by Corporal Munger." As the friends of Davis have strenuously denied that he was disguised as a woman, it may not be improper to specify tho exact articles of woman's apparel which he had upon him when first seen by Lieu tenant; Dickinson and Corporal Munger. The former states that he "was one ot the three persons dressed in woman's attire, and had a black mantle wrapped about his head, through the top of which could be seen locks of his hair."- Captain G. W, Lawfpn, of the Fourth Michigan cav alry, states explicitly, upon the testimony of the officers present, that Davis, in addi tion to his lull suit of Confederate gray, had on "a lady's waterproof cloak, gath ered at the waist, with a shawl drawn over his head, and carrying a tin pail." Colonel Pritchard says, in his official report, that he received from Mrs. Davis, on board the steamer Clyde, off Fortress Monroe, a waterproof cloak, or robe, which was worn by Davis as a disguise, and which was identified by the men who saw. it on him at the time of his capture. Ho secured the balance of the disguise the next day. It consisted of a shawl, which was identified in a similar manner by both Mrs. Davis and the men. From theso circumstances, there seems to be no doubt whatever that Davis sought to avoid cap ture by assuming the dress of a woman, or that the ladies of the party endeavored to pass him off upon his captors a one of themselves. IIifalutin. Albert Pike, of the Mem phis Appeal, has an unusual command of language. Here is one of his impressive sentences : "Bankruptcy, foreign war, internal hatreds, a hell of fire thinly . cruted over, new dissensions, separations, strifes, new rivers of blood, repeated dec imations, new lightnings of the red de served wrath of God, the corroding stains of innocent blood upon the soul, the insensible horrid lapse into the most hid eous despotisms, all the Danteque horrors of the infernal regions that the shade of dead nations, tortured, inhabit all tbtsa stare upon them out of the grim, silent darkness of the future days." A lady wrote to Boston for a book entitled "Trust in God." The bookseller had none and could procure none, and replied "There is no trust in God to be found in Bo3ton." An Irish attorney decidas that no printer should publish a death notice un less, apprised of the fact of the death by the party deceased. - A bashful musician, upon being re-, quested to play & tune on bis cornet, turned red and white and blew.
