A Villaga Bar-Soom.
In 18 I was traveling from Ithaca
to Buffalo, in New York State, inteuding
to reach homo in time to partake of the
annual Thanksgiving dinner wjtb old
and loving friends at the old homestead.
It was a bitter cold morning when we set
out, and the roads were frozen hard,
there having been considerable mud on
ly a day or two before.
,The first night we put in at Danville,
and on the following morning when. I
awoke, I found that the earth was not
only covered with snow, but that snow
was falling fast. After an early break
fast we set out again on wheels, but at
the end of eight miles wo were
forced to take runners, the snow clogging
op so that the wheel would not run.
When night came we found ourselves
obliged to stop at a small village only
twenty miles from where wo set out in
the morning. .
A good supper was provided at the
inn, and the place bad the appearanco ot
comfort. We had just sat down to sup
per when the wind began to blow furi
ous'y, and we could see by the dim light
without that the snow was being whirled
' and driven about in a furious manner.
There was a fire in the small sitting
room, and thither we passengers, six or
eight of us, adjourned. We sat there and
conversed until near ' nine o'clock, - and
then-1 went out into the barroom to
smoke a cigar previous tn-j-p tiring
"In the bar-room I found a br.ght woou
fir Wnine; and oz people
were sitting there, smoking and drink
ing. (This was long before the introduc
tion of the Maine laws.) Several of -the
company I judged to.be teamsters; a
rough, bardy, good-natured set, who
D.rA amoving themselves hugely over a
mug of flip. Then there were several
whom 1 found to be villagers men who
lived near the inn a set of village poli
ticians and newsmongers, who made the
bar-room a place of social evening meet
ing. I bad lighted my cigar and taken a
seat near the fire, when I noticed a buf
falo skin on one end of the settee, oppo
site to where I sat. and I was confident
ways? How
long since he. took to drink,, and bow
long heVbeen drunk now ?"
" Well be' took. a drunk more -or less
ever since he came from college ; but it's
about a year that he's been down bard
at it. Ye see folks. began to find out how
slack he was in bis business, and they
wouldn't give bun a job oi any conse
qaence to do.: I 'spose that sort o set
him agoipc in this fashion . And as for
this drunk,. I should say he'd been oh it a
fortnight., He's got down now as low as
be can. get and Jive, and J. guess he'll get
feober m a day. or.two,
T; "But where does he get. bis liquor?"
asked his questioner.
"You must ask Mike 'FingaJ that ques
tion," was the other s answer,
All eyes turned upon, the landlord who
now stood behind the bar. tie was evi
dently troubled at this turn, and moved
uneasily upon his high stool.
"Mike Fingal," spoke the teamster,
"do you sell that man rum ?n
"Yea, I do," the fellow replied, with an
effort, "Don't I sell the same when you
call for it?"
"But I arn't a poor drunkard, and you
know it. That arn't no excuse, Mike,
I shouldn't think you'd do it."
"But when he wants rum he's bound.
to have it. and if I didn't let him bave
it somebody else would," the boat re
plied. .
"Now, that's odd," energetically pur
sued the teamster. ' On the same ground
you might take a pistol and go out and
rob folks because if you didn't somebody
else would. But that isn't here or there.
The thing is, I- don't know what kind of
a heart ycu have to do it.
The conversation was here interrupted
by a sound from the street. The wind
was still howling madly, and the snow
was driving against the window, but
above the voice of tbe storm came the
wailing of some one in distre&s. It was
surely tbe cry of a child for help. We
were all upon our ieet in a moment and
the. lantern was .quickly lighted. My
bat was already ou my head or my cap
rather and I went out with the rest.
All went but tbe landlord and his wretch
ed customer who occupied tbe -settee. It
was some moments before I could see at
all, the snow came driving into my face
so; but I soon managed to turn my head
and then went on.
Tbe wind, as it. came sweeping out
through the stable, had piled up a huge
bank of snow across the street, and in this
bank we found a female with a child in
her arms. She seemed faint and frozen,
but yet she clung to her child. , The man
who carried her lantern held it up to her
face. The features were half covered with
snow, but the momentary glare of the lan
tern was sufficient to reveal to me a face
of more than ordinary beauty.
"Heaven!". uttered the man, as he low
ered the lantern, and caught the woman in
bis arras. -
without waiting foVa reply, he turnedjto
the rest of us and eried, "here take the
child some of you, and 1 11 carry the moth
er" .
The child was quickly taken, and ere
many minutes we were back in the bar
room with our Lurden. The two were taken
to tbe fire and the snow brushed from
them.
"Who's them?" asked the host.
- "Only Kate -Lockland and her child,
answered the fat man.
What d'ye bring em in nere ior r ue
host uttered angrily. "Why didn't ye take
'em to your own house, Jim Drake r
"Cause my nouse is xuu u
But the wife could not speak, and as
soon as possible the fat old villager had
the lantern in readiness and half a dozen
went to help him. ' " ''""' .

And with this the party left tbe bar
room. T went to the window, and SW

and when tboy were out of eight, 1 turned
away. Tbe host came out anl began to
explain tbines : but 1 was sick enougn

Drake had iust come in to bring back the
old cloak they bad wrappeu aruuuu mo
child the night before.
"What will von have this morning,
Jim?" I heard the landlord aBk ; as be
set out the tumbler.
"Nothing" returned the fat man, em
phatically. "I'm done, Mike Fingal. I
am done with th ntnff. I'll drink no
more of it. I wouldn't have come now
only poor Lockland was up and his sweet
little wife was hanging arouna ni3 nec.
They were cryin so I couldn't stand it,
and had to clear out. O. it's dreadful,
Mike Fingal. You don't know what
them nnnr thin era bare suffered ! But
they shan't have my example any
more."
"All ready," shouted the driver, and I
was forced to leave.
Tbe wind bad gone down : the air was
sharp and bracing, and slowly we wal
lowed away from tbe village.
1 reached Buffalo two days later than
I expected to when I started, tnd having
transacted my business there, I went to
Mississippi, and so on down to New Or
leans. Four years afterward I bad oc
casion to travel that same road again.
Tbe bar was still open, but Michael
Fingal bad gone away. I walked out
after dinner, and soon came across a
neatly painted office, over tbe door of
which I read: "George Lockland,, attor
ney and counsellor atiaw. in less man
five minutes afterward I saw a fat,
good natured looking man coming to
ward me whom I at once recognized as
Jim Drake. As be came up, I said:
"Excuse me sir, but I wish to know how
Mi Lackland is getting on now ?"
' oquire Lockland you mean t he an
swered with a proud look. "You know
them."
"I did once," said I.

On leaving Cologne for this place
it
turnea our Dacx upon tne vine as a croD
and soon left the plain of the Rhine, and
passed ; through a beautiful belt of .hills
and valleys and fine fields of grain, with
sometimes meadows and wooded hillsides.
Passed through. Daren, a manufacturing
town, with many factories and villages Jn
its vicinity. We next reached Aix La
Chapelle, (population about 65,000) situat
ed in a beautiful valley surrounded by
mns. At nas some nanqsome streets, u
many of them are narrow and crooked, ;
those in, old towns generally are. It would
seem as if in ancient times each person bad
to build his house a little oat of line with
that of his adjoining neighbors. About
the center of the town is tbe cathedral
built by Charlemagne about the years 79$
t 1?0J, and like all Roman Catholic tem
ples, it has its many strange stories. It is
said that under a large slab in the middle
of the floor with the words "Carlo Magna"
inscribed on it, Otho III in the year 1000
discovered the body of the Emperor array
ed in imperial robes seated on a white
marble throne with plates of 'gold, his feet
resting on a beautiful sculptured sarcopha
guB. On his bead was the crown he had
worn during his life, in his right hand
sceptre, and a jeweled mantle over h
shoulders. Otho removed all the valuables
and closed the vault. Frederick Barbar-
ossa in 126b again opened it, and the body
on being touched crumbled to dust except
the skull and some large bones, which they
now have in the reliquary. They have the
small and the great relics, the first can be
seen at any time for a thaler, the latter are
only shown every 7th year from the 4th to
the 24th of July. They are said to consist
of a cotton dress of the virgin (wonder if
it was Carolina cotton?) the swaddling
domes oi our xiora ana tne linen ne wor
round his loins on the cross. It seems t
me that those things must have been mi
raculously multiplied, as some of them an
found every where in such places, and al
are the real thing. There are good hoi
baths in and about the town: I tried one
of them to rid me of the dust and dirt of
travel. The hill Lusberg rising up from!
the town is laid out in fine walks and
drives from which a fine view'of the town)
and valley is obtained. During our stay
in town a great Catholic fair was going on
and the Pope's colors were flying every
here and there along the streets We next
passed on to Herensthal a Prussian custom
house station, thence to Yerviers, a Bel
gian station, where we had to get out and
have our baggage overhauled rather a dis
agreeable operation when close packed up
for traveling. I have however had but little
trouble at the many stations I have passed,
sometimes finding we were Americans we
were allowed to
pass ri?ht on. at some

I looked and saw a bright eyed, sunny

laughing and tripping along like a little
fairy. She stoppea as sne came w wucxo

bad been at work hard, or was ex
to be up most of tbe night, and was now
getting a little sleep. I was looking at
the buffalo and thus meditating, when I
beard a low, deep, death-like groan come
up from beneath it, and in a few moments
more the robe was thrown upon the
floor, and the man who had reposed be
neath came down upon the too of it, and
there he lay for-some moments like a
dead man. I bad just started up when
four of the villagers hastened to bis as
sistance. They lifted him to his feet
and after considerable effort he managed
to stand up.
My God I what a thrill struck to my
heart when I saw that face. It was one
of noble feature ; a brow high and amply
developed, over which clustered a mask
of dark glossy ringlets; me iace ueuuu
tully proportioned, and each separate
feature most exquisitely chiselled. But
what an expression rested there nowl
The great dark eyes bad a vacant, idi
otic stare y tbe face was pale as death,
and the lips looked dry and parcnoa,anu
much discolored. His clothes were torn
and soiled, and one of bis hands bloody.
He was surely not more than flet and
k;trr Kin nnnflsranee would at
once indicate a man of more than com
mon abilities. But the demon had him,
and had made him now something below
Abe brute.
"How do you feel now, George ?" asked
one of the men who had gone to his as
sistance. But he only groaned in reply, and was
soon persuaded to lie down again, being
told that be would soon feel better. As
eoon asbe waBon the settee once more.and
bad tbe buffalo over him, the men returned
to their Beats. .
"Who is the chap?" asked one of the
tea rasters, looking toward the villagers
who bad been assisting the unfortunate
man. :,f'
"That's George Lockland," returned a
tout honest-looking man.
"Does he belong here?"
"Yea. Didn't ypu never hear of him?"
The teamster replied ' that he had
not.

"Mike -Fingal," he uttered, in tones such
as only a man confident of his own physic

Fingal looked at the speaker in the eye
for a moment, and then muttering some
thing about a man having a right to do as
he pleased in his own house, he slunk a
way behind his bar again.

that were bursting forth. 1 he cniia was a

to her mother, and seemed frightened into

ed to have been the leader of the band who
in 157, massacred a party of "Arkansas
emigrants at a place called Mountain Mead
ow, in Southern Utah, is now in the hands
of the United States authorities and is to
be brought to trial for his participation in
that terrible outrage. The slaughter of
these emigrants was one of the most cruel
and treacherous acts ever committed on
this continent A train had started from
Arkansas to cross the plains for California,
which included the families of several Ar-
kahsans who had been fortunate in the Cali
fornia mines, together with some of their
richer neighbors. The train numbered 146
men, women, and children, itb about
forty wagons and large herds of blooded
stock. . lhe emigrants i were well armed,
iuuy provided .with supplies, and had with
tnem about $15U,U00 in gold. They arriv
ed in Salt Lake City in the fall of the year,
and were told by tbe Mormons that it was
too late tq,cross the Sierra Nevada by the
old emigrant route, but that they would
find a practicable pass, by going through
Southern Utah and crossing Southern Ne
vada to Los Angeles. They followed this
advice, and when camped in the, narrow
valley called Mountain Meadow, 300 miles
southeast from Salt Lake City, they were
suddenly attacked, as they supposed by
Indians. These they kept at bay for five
days, and onthe sixth the supposed In
dians had vanished. On that day a lare
body of white men approached from the
direction of Cedar City, bearing a ; white
flag, and it is said that these men were
Mormons commanded by Lee. The story
told and generally believed w that Lee -induced
them to give up their arms under
the pretext that he could not otherwise pro
tect them from the Indians, and then while
professing to guide them to a place of safe
ty, treacnerousiy leu upon them from tbe
rear and murdered them all in cold blood
with the exception of two little children
seven years old and fourteen others he
tween the ages of one and five. , The re
port was then spread that the emigrants
bad been killed by Indians, and Gen Sid-:
ney Johnston sent a detachment of troops
to investigate the matter. The officer in
command of this detachment found the
bones of the missing emigrants; wolves bad
eaten the flesh. The children who had
been saved he found in the' hands of Mor
mons m Cedar City, Lee having two of
them. These were surrendered, and it wan
learned that their parents had been killed
oy wmtes instead of Indians. It is said
that some of the Mormons who were with
Lee made a confession to tbe same
officer, but whether this is true or not, it
is certain that it has alwavB been believed
that Lee was the leader of tbe murderous
gang, though whether Brigham Young
knew of or countenanced the massacre is a
question upon.which various opinions have
