A tiItEATLIt NU) IceVE THE
The Miller's Daughter :
Many years ago, the community of a
hamlet in the South of France was star
tled by a crime rare indeed in their quiet
agricultural district. A wealthy farmer
was lound dead, at early inoi nisi:2., within
one hundlcd yards ref 11 , 6 uwn house Ile
had [Weil k (.;d by biIMS administered
with a heavy stake, which lay near the
b dy, covmed with bh od, and all his
pockws had been rift 'd of their contents,
including a cm ideruble sue of money.
which lie known to have received
the preview , cr:dikg for Ironic cheep sold
hy in the ncipliburimr market town
When the awe ir,(l e:eit, meta created
by thi, event ha] little, every
exeitiou was mall by theautle,rities to
ferret out the perpetrator of the crime. A
reward wee offered for the discovery of
the murderer, proclamation of which
bounty was, made for several successive
Sundays at the church door - . At last
some disci( sures were wade implicating a
young man named Laroche----a rtripling
of eighteen years.
The person who brought the charge
against young Laroche WaB a man by the
name of Landry—a stranger in the dis
trier, but who had lately been appointed
by the for of the manor a; one of the
keepers of his game preserves. Landry
testified that - he,had seen Laroche cutting
a stake from a hedge on the afternoon
previous to the murder, and that he had
reproved him for it, and taking the i cra k o
from him, hi:;; stuck it in the bank of the
hedge at a particular t.pot. The stake
was the saute one that was found lying
near the body of the murdered farmer.
Leindry could swear to it, because, after
taking it from Laroche, he had nicked it
in a peculiar way with his knife.
Now it so happened that the murdered
farmer had matt ) and influential friends,
while Laroche had but few. Therefore
Laroche was convicted of the murder, and
sentenced .to be hung on a certain day,
at a certain places; until which time he
was placed fur sakkeeping in the jail of
the district—the third floor of a large
stone building, the ;lower part of which
Was a;mill. • The prison consisted of a
single apartment,' lig:hted by one small
window at a height of about sixteen feet

THE LOST CHIEF
`lg IVA:NI:OYU >
TIIE ANGEL WINGS
priest of the parish, Father . Allard by
name, had been loft alone with the pls.
over, in order to prepare him, by the
consolation of religion, for his approach
ing doom. To his words of comfort La
roche listened with humility and in silence,
until the pied father began to dilate upon
his chances of forgiveness in the next
world for the terrible crime committed by
him Then the prisoner electrified him
by declaring his perfect innocence of that
crime—a position which lie meant to
maintain, he said, with his latest breath.
To be brief the youth of the prisoner,
his earnest asseverations of innooenee,
and a ,wavering doubt of his guilt which
had all along troubled Father Allard's
mind, so wrought upon that worthy tam
that he at last consented to commit him
self to a plan for giving the prisoner a
chance to escape, if not from death, at
least from the ignominy of dying by the
hands of the accursed hangman.
" If I die by the gallows, most reverend
father," said the young man, " a great
sorrow will some day fall upon till con
cerned in my death. The real murderer
is sure to be discovered. sooner or later,
and then I shall have been a murdered
man, and the just retribution of [leaven
will pursue my murderers. Aid Inc to
escape rather than risk a great stain upon
your conscience. Stand upon this chair
which I place upon the table, thus, and
then, by mounting upon your shoulders,
I Can reach the window, and drop from
" But the liver below ?"
" I switn like an otter; and, any rate,
it is better to be drowned than hanged."
Con'..ineed of the young nian'B inno
venue, Futl.,cr Allard consentcld to aid
him' in his cse.pe. moment iufficcd
to Carry n execution. The
prisoner gained the window, and disep
peared.
Parading in a straggling way outside
the building, went one of the minor .1:h
ices of justice—a stolid peasant wit , . had
hien placed there by way of sentry, and
who, tit this moment, happenc 1 to be

second story, and rebounding from that.
fall into the water with a heavy plunge
nappearing at intervals until he was car
ried away into the rapids below.
The alarm was at once given Village
officials rushed to the prison-room, whet.
they found Father Allard alone, seated iu
the eh ir. pale, and as it just lecoveriwz
Iron, the si i ,:ht of some supernatural vis
ien. To the tintstions put to him, he t ,
plied that as he was ;idministeting th ,
consolations of his holy ullice to the pets
orwr, a voi:'e sounded through the apart
meat, aecompanit d by the shadow of a
'nighty pulpit' ning , ,on which he 11101111 t
ed to the ceiling, of the apat Intent, ut.d
was no more seen by him The voice, I.e
added, prwoluitned the p isoiter's itino
cenee, mid that the real circumstances ul
the murder would be made manifest.
It was a miracle ; and the good countr,
people, ever ready to accept that form of
interposition, were easily persuaded to do
so on the present occasion.
Meantime, Laroche, when he leaped
from the window, had forgotten all about
the platform. As he fell upon it, he dis
placed a suck of grain, which splashed
in the dark waters of tile river, appear
ing to eyes of the bewildered sentry to be
the body of the man who dropped from
the prison window. Laroche lay upon
the narrow platftirtn, stunned by his heavy
fall. Spiride, rho miller's daughter, saw
hint fall. There was no one else in the
aid' at. the time. She drew him quickly
behind the sacks and great heaps of grain
on the floor, and having administered to
him such restoratives as Ur young exper
knee :,'oggested, threw some loose sacks
over him, anti told him to lie still
That night Spiride and her lover —La
roche and she had been lovere' for about
six hours only— .made their way to where
a bOat lay moored below the falls, and, mu
barking in it, were soon curried far be
yond the reach of pursuit. It was .sup
posed by the affrighted villagers that Spir
ide must have been curried front the
platform when the body from the window
above bud been seen to strike upon it; and
as the whirlpool below the torrent had
never been known to give up its dead,
but little search was made for her, and
and her friends, resigned themselves to
mourning for her awful fate.
Less than six months after this, Landry
was 'tried for the murder of a brother
keeper, and was convicted and hanged.
accordingly. Previous to his execution,
however, he made - a•clean breast of it to
Father Allard, confeasing that he had
murdered the farmer for his money, kill
ing him with tlie L '-attike cut from the
hedge - ,by young Laroche, which, as he
stated, singularly enough, suggested to
him the idea of committing the crime. .
Two years elapsed, and Father Allard
had been promoted to a parish at a dis
tance of some fifty
, miles from the one of
whieh he had ,beep. pastor for so many
*STiortly offer his.arrival 4.6x°, his 'du
ties led him to take a journey on horse
book some miles into the interior of: the
9frbieh he had charge. Part of
the road travelled by him wound through
..;.'~~'J.;~~
CARLISLE, FIIIDA,Y,
. .
a swampy forest region;' and after a ride
of several miles, hineatne,to a Sliiggish
stream that had formerly been spanned
by a bridge, of which nothing but the
abutments now remained. The priest
turned his horse's head; and rode along
t. e bank of the river, hoping to find an'-
other bridge, or at least a ford by which
he could cross to the further 'side ; nor
had he gone fur when he discerned, by
hoof marks, a place where cattle seemed
to be in the habit of wading through or
coming to drink. The water appeared
to be shallow, so he urged his unwilling
horse into it, and had got about h:dl' way
across, when the animal began to plunge
and struggle violently, sinking at the
same time as if drawn down by some in
visible power. Aware, now, that he had
fallen into one of those quicksands which
are not uncommon in that part of France,
the good father knew that to throw him
self from his horse would be curtain
death, as the water was not deep enough to
swim in, and the hungry sand at the bot
tom was gaping fur him. held upon
his horse, therefore, and shouted fur help.
The water was gaining upon him, as
the terrified horse sank deeper and deep
er in the treacherous stream. Up, up it
came, until it reach( d his saddle, arid
then his kileS, Ilild lie had given himself
up for lost, when distant shouts came in
response to his, which were growing feeb
ler with each repetition. And now n
man bursts his way through the -brush
wood on the river bank, and laying his
axe upon a tall, slender young tree, cuts
it down with lour or live rapid strokes,
icaning it so that it falls out upon the
water, its toptuust boughs just brushing
the sinking horseman in its hill Grasp
big time boughs with all his rcnrniuiul
li, the priest was diawu to the
hauk by the woodsman, fainting_and
senseless, however, and with hardly a

Laroche, who was now employed a ,
forester upon au estate, was enabled by
the assistance if Father Allard, to return
to his native village, where, not long af
ter, he obtained an appointment to the
very keepership formerly held by the as
sassin Landry. The mystery attending
his miraculous escape and reappearance
gave him an extraordinary influence
among the peasantry. Stories lose noth

him is still to be seen in the old chapel
of the parish, with a pair of angel's wings

Benedict Arnold vs. Robert B. Lee
In the midst of the new prospects of
the nation, growing out of the fall of
the rebellion, we should not overlook
the fact that, despite the present sub..
ducd atti,ude of treason, the country
swarms with publio enemies, both North
and South, who would be glad to arrest
its progress, and restore the insurgent
section to that infamous predominance
through whiol they have always deriVO
their political patronage . or power. Ab- ;
sorbed us we u'rejust now with grief, and ,
awed as are:. these malcontents by .441

bearingly, the Gavertment met and with
stood' these insidious hostilities; and
fleetly, favored by God in the overthrow
of Lee, it felt it was relieved from dispos
ing upon the machinations of the, malcon
tents, any more of its concern. Recruiting
wa's stopped, conscription countermanded,
the public .expenditure resulting to the
citizens in taxes was reduced one third;
an the nation, through the Executive,
benignly opened its bosom to receive back,
with as little severity as p ssible, even
the wickedest and bloodiest of those who
had always been tenderly denominated
by, their Northern sympathizers as "our
erring Li ethren." But we have seen that.,
while this tuistaken mercy was : in act,
these cherished kinsmen of our Northern
traitors resumed their assasin role in its
most heinous form, and gave the last
Prdaf, in the murder of the President.
that, like their accursed_ cause, they are
incapable of Christianization, and utterly
unworthy of anything but the last rigor
of the law.
It would seem, however, as if this last
infernal revelation of the predominant
instincts of slavery and secession bad
so shocked the entire count/. that
we might safely count, from this time
forth, upon a wholesale and cunscientious
abandonment, on the part of the previous
Northern sympathizers, of the so-called
Southern cause. Indeed, suet] is now
generally believed, by all spontaneously
loyal men, to be the case ; and because it
is unwarily so bclieved'do we now detOre
to remind the community of the necessity
of furtl er vigilance ; and to worn them
th at aelassof partizans who could palliate
the cold-blooded massacres by F•_rrest,
who could make light o. the Ftatvinitm of
our captured soldiers, and he willing to
see their country reft in twain, rather
than have their politied associates humil
iated, are net capable of refortuation in a
day. Their settled malice is but checked,
nut-quelled; and even at the present mo
ment the observant reader may dulcet
where the still hopeful venom st rs
the; gloom of the hour, of' cour"se.
no ribald cries are ventufed, no insidious
songs are sung, no wilt/tit% homilies are
preached for fraternity with murder , but,
yielding to the popular impulse, these
subtle engineers grasp from the storm one
little straw upon which to drive a bar
gain with the public grief. They yield
lIIVIDScireH unreservedly to the general
sorrow ; but, while sailing with the wind,
wrest from its unwary current a few ex
eeptional praise, in favor of the captured
relicl military chief'. They do this, ap
parently, nut as a point which they de
sire to wake, but us one so ti ious that
it should not ho &Mod ; whereupon ley
al wen, softened by a noble community
of settee., yield a passive sequieseenee in
Lee's A Inuits, and thus thoughtlessly con.
cede to an artful condi:man/in of the Coil
tederate Pleased with the con
version of a partisan whom they thought
an unconscionable enemy, the loyal lis
teners yield to a portion of his }minor, in
order to avoid bein4 regarded as
lOUs or, 11111'dt:1101/W ; and thus they give
access to the entering wedge of a new
danger.
We do not think we are treating this
evident combination to secure an excep
tional sympathy fur Lee with too much
gravity ur too great suspicion. The rebel
military chief has constantly been the
chosen hero of that class of Northern
men who have been arrayed against the
Government; their enthusiasm still cen•
tree on him, even as he stands, bedrag
gled by defeat; and if they can but keep
his sword by, his side, where it was er
roneously left by Grant (us though re
bellion could be admitted to the privi
lege of bearing arms), they will have
gained a starting-point by which they may
oluim that the insurrection was a legal
war, and the nation liable...for the aggro
gated debt.
But whety the calculation reaches to
this length or not, it is certain that the
well-engineered movement in applause of
Lee unites the sympathy of all who have
opposed the Government throughout the
war; and way fairly be eotondered,
ring the present period of subdued polit.

servieezi /Lod his brilliant qualitiCs, his
claims , for promotion were repeatedly ig
noredi or sot aside, in favor of junidr or
inferior officers. These wrongs (now ac
knoWledged to have been such by all his
' torians( worked upon his proud and re
' vengeful nature, and tempted him to the
crime of deserting what bad become his
country's cause. In en evil hour he went
over to the enemy , but, vile as he was,
he had the partial palliation which pro
ceeds from injury, and the further self
d 'ception, that he was simply returning
to his natural allegiance. Robcrt, E. Lee
however, has not even thepe poor excuses
to j ust if y hi s tren;on. Born under our

cence, pampered by wealth, heaped with

ploining of a single wrong—repudiated
,his oath and his duty, through a mere
' hatred'of free institutions, lent his sword
to the base pug pose of subduing the Re
public in the interest of monarchy. Less
talented than Arnold, it can scarcely be
said he was truly the winner of a single
fight, and his career is stained with atroci-
tics which no grace of spurious chivalry
can hide. Ills military reputation is the
joint product of 0 e errors of our Generals
and the hosannas of seditious politicians;
and but for Grant's surprising lenity, he
would have been captured, bedraggled
and crest-fallen before our victorious troops
in due penalty !or his miserable. want of
management in evacuating Richmond.
Ile lived during the first pert of the
war as a General, solely through the deep.
er inferiurify and criminal allowance of
McClellan ; and he never took the initia.
live, without. the most egregious failure.
ilia fitt,t, Maryland expedition was utterly
shipti,4ecked at Antietam ; and he must
have been annihilated at Sharpsburg the.
s..une night, had not McClellan deliberate
ly let him of by an artnisticit of several
hi uts At Chaneellorsville he was thor
ou:.:,ldy disgraced by [looker turning his
position in open daylight—which he
long boasted was impregnable —and what
ever may he-said of that yet unwritten
story of Vet Point cabal and treachery,
he was so crippled by the ensuing tight,
that he was forced to permit the Federal
commander toreturn to his camp across
the swollen Rappahannock, without pow'
or to molest one of his wagons or his guns.
In his second Maryland expedition, lie
must have been destroyed had he been
pursued, on any one of the three days
after his defeat at. Gettysburg ; while at
William-port, four days 'hither on, he
could have been swept into the raging riv
r it) his rear by one assault. and
-sent ignominiou..y down the page of histo
ry with a troind unworthy of a corporal.
Ills resistance to Grant from rho Rana
hantiock to the James., wt= simply a ski
ri treat within the capacity of any en
gineer. and his ear eer terminated by
the
who:esido capture of himself and artily.
through the want of sufficient, mili•ary
forecast to time the hour of his march.
Here aro no glories for the text of wor
ship, except to those bosoms which con
ceal a shrine to sonic occult and unlawful
deity; while all claims sot up for Lee to
our esteem are blotted out by the notorious
atrocities which he constantly permitted
to be perpetrated upon our captured pris
oners. It is vain for his artful worship
pers to claim that he could have been
ignorant of that gigantic, that unremitting
crime. While every man in the country,
on both sides of the lines, was daily made
acquainted with it, he was toe only man
in the country who had the authority to
stop it. He needed but the will, and not
having shown the will, he is entitled to
the same execration fur his prisoners' suf
ferings and deaths, as he is for the delib
erate murder of those conseriptetUoyalists
whose death-warrants he so often signed,
because they would not fight against their
country. let us hear no more, then, of
these mistaken or seditious pleas for Lee.
All loyal men owe hatred to the murder
ers of their brethren ; and applause for the
chief criminal is not only an abandonment
of jUstice, but a covert form of treason to
the country. It is in this point of view
that we now, in a spirit of indignant pro
test, direct the attention of the public
against the insidious progress of the ap
plause for Lee.— Wilkes Spirit of the
Times.

Maalufacturos of Ireland
Ireland now possesses large manufacto
ries of machinery especially for linen, for
steam engines and of late years, for iron
!ships. So much has the eSaraotcr of
Irish woolens recently risen, that between
185] and 1863 the number of mills in
creased from nine to forty three, or nearly
four hundred and sixty-three per cent.
The cotton mills in Ireland, Since the
American war, have been applied to the
manufacture of flax, and the Irish poplin
trade has greatly revived. But, by. far
the most important branch of Irish 'manu
facture is the linen trade. In 1864 there
were in Ireland seventy-four spinning
mills with six hundred and flity thousand
six hundred and thirty-eight spindles,
and there was a similar increase in power
loom factories. Ten years ago there were
seventeen thousand persons employed in
the linen trade of Belfast, while in - the
posent year there wore twenty-five thou
' sand. Thera has been an enormous in
crease in flax 'cultivation, the total value
of the crop of the present year being no
less than three million, nine hundred and
eight-nine bounds. The total value of
linens exported from the United Kibg
dom has increased from five million, nine
one hundred and ninety thousands, three.
hundred and forty seven pounds, in 1861
to eight million, four hundred sixty-nine
thousand and thirty six pounds in 1863.
