BOOK OF LIFE.
Over ahti over again,
No matter which way we turn,
AVe always find in the Book of Life
Some lesson we have to learn. -
We niut take our turn at the mill,
We must grind out the golden grain,
We mus.t work at our task with a res
olute will,
Over and over again.
Ve cannot measure the need
nfovon tho tiniest flower.
Or cheek the flow of the golden sands i
That run through a single nour.
But the morning dews must fall
And the sun and the summer rauv
Must do their part and perform it all
Over and oyer again.
Over and over again
The brook through the meadow
flows, 7
And over and over again
The ponderous mill-wheel goes.
Once doing will not sutlice,
Though doing be not in vain;
And a blessing failing us onee or twice,
May come if we try again.
The path that has once been trod
Is never so rough to' the feet, .
And the lesson we once have ; learned
Is never so hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears may fall,
And the heart to its depths
be
driven
With storm and tern pest, we need
them all
To render us meet for I leaven.
How
the Apaches Tortured
Death Voung PUgEi.
to
A Las Vegas correspondent of the
Cincinnati. Kuqidrer deals with the
outrages committed upon Pugh before
his. death, some of which, however,.he
is unable to describe because of their
revolting indecency, M Ie says:
went to the place where the stage
1
wAstvmed and where young Pugli
was captured. There were with me
some of pie party who had found the
young man's body, and they took me
over the trail that led to the spot
.where the murder was committed.
Tiiw hvn milt's from the scene of
the capture. Every five hundred
yards or so there were imprints in the
ground of a ; man's7 knees, and the
guides explained that at these inter
vals the prisoner had sunk down from
r.vhnnstiiiii and to implore his savage
captors to spore his life or put hun out
of misery by killing him. If Implead
ed for life at first, he begged as hard
for death at last, for over the last mile
of the trail was sprinkled a copious
utream of blood, and sequel showed
that the Indians had committed such
an atrocious outrage upon their pris
oner that no man thus mutilated could
hope or wish to live a minute there
after." The body was found by the
Mexican soldiers on the day succeed
ing the murder. It wns swollen to
prodigious proportions, and an exami
nation revealed the sickening extent
of the mutilations perpetrated by the
dastardly cowards. It was while suf
fering from such barbarous torture
that the demons, his captors, had
forced him to walk over a mile. When
he could no longer drag himselfalong,
the brutal Apaches filled his body with
bullets, and left him to rot. When
the Mexican soldiers found the corpse
uiey uujj a noie wmi uitu uu.mivici
thoonlv tools thev- had, and buried"!
the swollen, distorted remains as best
they could-. ' Returning the next day
the Mexicans discovered that the co
yotes had dug the body up and strip
ped it of the greater portion of its
flesh. ; The soldiers again made a
grave, and interred the remains in a
deeent and safe mariner, after which a
stone and a cross were placed in posi
tion to mark the grave.
"The Indians who committed this
outrage were supposed to-be good In
dians, and were out of their own baili
wick on a special leave from the gov
ernment to hunt. They seem to have
' taken it for granted that they were
liscensed to hunt human betngs, and
to murder in cold blood all they found
unprotected. A couple of weeks pri
or to the murder of young Pugh the
same band of cut; throits captured a
body of emigiants, among w hom were
ix women. The hellhounds violated
the persons of the women in a most
fiendish mauner, after which they
hung them up -by the heels. Then
they secured red hot lynchpins from
the ashes of the wagons they had
burned, with which the monsters tor
tured the women to death. The man
ner in which they applied the heated'
pieces of iron to their victims is too
disgusting to be mentioned. The

mistake of one or two Indians, if

nation, but it is thought by some very
humane people that it is time that the

by the one proposed. .
Accident All Around.
A most ridiculous scene occurred at
a church in Newcastle. A policeman
was passing the church as a gentleman
came out. The man jokingly accosted
the policeman, and said he was want
ed inside, .meaning that the minister
would be. glad to have him turn from
the error of his way. The stupid po
liceman thought there was some trou
ble in the church so he went in. The
sexton, seeing jt policeman, was anx
ious to give him a favorable seat, so he
said, "Come right in here,"
and he
took him to a pew -.and waved his
hand. There was another ''man in the
pew, a deacon with a sinister ex
pression as the policeman thought, and
he supposed that was the .man they
wanted arrested, so he tapped the
deacon on the arm and told . him to
come along. The deacon turned pale
and edged along as though to get
away, when the policeman took him
by the collar and jerked him out into
the aisle. The deacon struggled hard,
thinking the policeman was crazy,
and tried to get away,' but he was
dragged, on, Many, of the. congrega
tion thought the deacon had been do
ing something wrong, and some of
them got behind the deacon and help-;
ed the officer take him out. , Arriving
at the lock-up, the policeman saw the
man who told him he was wanted in
the church, and asked him what
charge was against the deacon, and he
did not knowA4ind finally the prisoner
was asked what it was all about and
he didn't know. The policeman was
asked what he arrested the man for
he didn't know, and after awhile the
matter was explained and the police
man, who had to arrest somebody,
took the man Into custody who told
him he was wanted in the church, and
he was fined So and costs. :

THE STORY OF A WIFE'S SIX AND
"DEATH 1IKH COMPANION IN WICK
KDXKKS IN THE ! HANDS OF THE
DAW.
Lynchburg has a sensation. In Au
gust, 1879, a man calling himself John
C. Waite went to that city and com
menced business in a nmall way a gro
cer, His energy and thrift, however,
soon attracted the favorable attention
of wholesale merchants, and he1 was
enabled to branch out successfully.
He attended the Presbyterian church
and claimed to be pious. He brought
with him, as was supposed, his wife
and little girl. Kecently the woman
died iii child-birth j and was buried
from the church mentioned.
On the :iOth the real John Waite ar
rived from Michigan nd satisfied the
authorities and everybody that the1
grocer's name was not Waite, but
Burgess, and that while professing to
be his friend had run off from Michi
gan with his (Waite's) wife and
daughter. Burgess confessed that the
charges were true. He left his own
wife ami two children in Michigan.
The-AVin says the monumental impu
dence of Burgess is strikingly illustra
ted in a letter which he wrote to Waite
from Detroit, in which he said: "I
have your wife and'- child you take
mine, a! fair exchange is no rob
bery." '
Waite says he has been two years in
search of his w ife and child without
success, but the AVitt reporter has rea
son to, doubt this starement, as it is
learned from a trustworthy source
that -Waite positively knew of the
whereabouts of the child at least sev
eral months back, and that he had al
so been.. communicated: with by his
wife during a visit to her mother in
Kansas one yeaV ago last April. He
also received frequent communica
tions from his motlter-in-law as to her
ph.ee of residence; but he did not, it
appears, choose to journey , in this di
rection; but he did - not; it appears,
ehoose to iournev in this directioiilun-
- w
til intelligence reached him of her ill
ness and death, which would seem to
indicate that he was possessed of no
strong desire for her return.
Waite has telegraphed to Michigan
for a requisition, but has yet received
no answen.
The Mayor of Lynchburg has the
case in hand. Burgess lived awhile
in Norfolk, and was known there by
.his real name. He refused to be com
municative when sent to jail.
Jtisnot an uncommon complaint
agaiiist a newspaper that it hasn't life
enough. But a brother editor reports
this odd objection made to his paper
by a gossip-loving old lady: "I like
your paper very much; I have only
I one objection to it it hasn't death
enough.
Circumstantial Evidence;
In the! year 1793 a young man, who
was serring his apprenticeship in Lon
don to a master sail-maker, got leave
to visit his mother to spend the Christ-
las holidays. She lived a few miles
eyohd Deal, in Kent. He walked
he journey. On his arrival at Deal,
n the evening, being much fatigued
and also troubled with a bowel com
plaint, he applied to the landladyrof
a public house, who was aequanted
with his mother for a night's lodging.
Her house was full and every bed oc
cupied, but she told him that if he
would sleep with her uncle, who had
lately come ashore, and was boatswain
of an Indiaman, he should be wel
come. He was glad to accept the
offer, and after spending the evening
with his new comrade, they retired to
rest. ' '
In the riiiddle of the night he was
attacked with this complaint, and,
wakening his bedfellow, he asked him
the way to the water-closet.
The boatswain told him to go
through the kitchen, but as he would
find it difficult to open the door in the
yard, the latch being out of order, he
desired him to take a knife out of his
pocket with which" he could raise the
latch. .
The young man did as he wTafi direc
ted, and after staying half an hOuf in
the yard, returned to bed, but was
much surprised to find his companion
had risen and gone
Being impatient
to visit his mother and friends, he also
arose before day, and pursued his
journey, and arrived at home at noon
The lady, who had been told his in
tention to depart early, was not much
surprised; but not seeing her uncle she
went to call him. .
She was dreadfully shocked to find
the bed stained with blood, and every
inquiry after her uncle was in vain.
The aiarm now became general, and
on further examination, marks of
blood were traced from the bed-room
into the street, and at interval down
to the pier head, ltu'mor was imme
diately busy, and suspicion fell of
course upon the young man who slept
with him, that he had committed the
murder, and thrown the body into the
sea.
" A warrant was issued and he was
taken that evening at his mother's
house.
On being examined and searched,
mafks of blood were discovered on
his shirt and trousers, and ill his
pockets was a knife and a remarkable
silver coin, both of which the lanlady
swore positivly were her uncle's prop
erty, and that she saw them in his
possession on the evening ne reureu
to rest with the young man. On
these strong circumstances the unfor
tunate youth was found guilty.
He related all the above circum
stances in his defense, but as he could
not account for the marks of blood on
his person, unless he got them when
he returned to bed, nor could account
for the silver coin being in his posses
sion, his story was not credited.
The certainty of the boatswain's dis
appearance, the blood at the pier,
traced from his bed room , were tfo
evident signs of his being murdered
and even the judge as so convinced
of his guilt that he ordered the execu
tion to take place in three days.
At the fatal tree the youth declared
his innocence, and persisted in it with
such affecting asseverations that many
pitied him, though none doubted the
justness of his sentence.
The executioners of those days were
not so expert at; their trade as
modern ones, nor were props and
platforms invented. . The young man
was very tall, his feet sometimes
touched the ground, and some of his
friends who surrounded the gallows
contrived to give the body some sup
port as it was suspended. After be
ing cut down, those friends bore it
speedily away in a coffin, and in the
course of a few hours animation was
restored, and the innocent saved.
When he was able to move, bis friends
insisted on his leaving the country
and never returning. He accordingly
traveled by night tQ Portsmouth and
entered on board a man of war, on the
j point of sailing to a distant part oi the
world; and as he changed his name
and disguised his ; person his very
melancholy history was never dis
covered. 1 1
After a few years of service, during
which his exemplary conduct was the
cause of his promotion through the
lower grades, he was at lat made
master' i mate, and his ship being paid
off in the West Indie?, he with a few'
nwre of the crew were transferred to
another man-of-war, which had just
arrived, short of hands from a differ
ent station. What were his feelings
of astonishment, and then delight and
ecstaey, when almost the first person
he saw on board his new ship was the
identical boatswain for whose murder
he hadbn tried, condemned and ex
ecuted rive years before.
Nor was the surprise of the old
boatswain much less when he heard
the story. An explanation of all the
mysterious circumstances then took
place J
It appeared that the boatswain had
been bled for a pain in his side by the
barber, unnknown to his niece, on
the day of the young nadn's arrival
at Deal; that w hen the young man
had awakened him and retired to the
yard he found the bandage-had come
off his arm during the night, and that
the blood was flowing afresh. :
Being alarmed, he arose to go to the
barber, who lived across the street,
but a press gang laid hold of him just
as he left the public house. They
hurried him to the pier, where the
boat was waiting, and a few minutes
brought them on board a frigate,
then under way for the East Indies,
and he omitted ever writing home to
account for his sudden disappearance.
These were the chief circumstances
explained by the friend thus strange
ly met.
The silver coin being found in the
possession of the young man could
only be explained by conjecture that
when the boatswain gave him the
knife in the dark it is probable, as the
coin was in the same pocket, it stuck
between the blades of the knife, and
in this manner became unconsciously
the strongest proof against him.
On. their' return to England, this
wonderful explanation was told to the
judge aiid jury Who tried the case,
and it Is probable they never after
ward convicted a man on cireiim
siaiuiai evidence, it aiso maae a
great noise inlvent at that time.
The RacQuettc in Lcadvillc.
AVe saw the racquette the other
night. It is a lovely dance. The at
titudes and motions of the dancers are
excruciating. No wonder it is such a
favorite among the young ladies and
gentlemen of -high moral proclivities.
It is just too lovely for anything, and
is easy to learn. And it is so appro
priately named, although mispelled.
It goes on in the following style: The
lady and gentleman stand facing each
other, quite close together. The gen
tleman's right arm is delicately placed
around the lady's waist, his left hand
delicately clutching her right index
finger, while her left hand is placed on
his right shoulder. Finally the fid
dles, after a few see-saws, strike up:
"A dog ate rye straw, rye straw; a dog
ate rye straw," etc. At the sound of
"dog" the dancers Jump off to the gen
tleman's left two jumps, as though
the "dog" were biting them from the
rear, and they in their efforts to escape
were trying to dodge past each other,
but couldn't. After the two Jumps to
the lady's left they both halt an in
stant with their feet about fifteen inch
es apart and bending the knee in
ward toward toward each otheruntil
they nearly touched. We could only
see the gentleman's knees, but sup
pose the ladies did the same; they
both suddenly spring one jump to the
lady's left, and thus backward and
forward, keeping their feet and knees
rigidly in the above position all the
time; but with limber knees and hip
joints they make a gracetul swinging
motion up and down to the time of
the music. When the music stops a
moment, the dancers stop, and then
at the sound of "dog" they both swing
off again and repeat the maneuver
over and over, until both become ex
hausted, the fiddlers stop, and they
sink into seat in a perfect perspiration
of rapture. That's the racquette. Oh
it is just too jolly, but it cannot be ap
preciated until seen. Seeing is all
that is required to make one enam
ored, and fall into hysterical ecstasies
over it. "We tumble to the racket."
Be Happy.
It is the eaiet thing in the world
to be happy, if men and women could.
only think so. Happiness is another
name for love for where love exist
in a household there happiness must
also exist, even though it has poverty
for its close companion, where love
exists not, even though it be in a pal
ace, happiness can never come. He
wa3 a cold and selfish being who origi
nated the saying that "when poverty
comes in at the door love flies out of
the window," and his assertion proves
conclusively that he had no knowledge
of love, for unquestionably the reverse
of the axiom ' quoted is nearer the
truth. When poverty comes in at
ine uoor, love true love i more
than ever inclined to tarry and do bat
tle with an enemy.' Let those who
imagine themselves miserable before
they find foult with their surrounding,
search in their hearts fof tha cause. A
few kind .words, a little forbearance,
or a kiss, will open the way to a flood
of sunshine jn a house darkened by
the clouds of discord and unamiabili
ty. '
Valuable Bricks.
One hundred little boxes were con
voyed along the streets of Philadel
phia in express wagons the other day.
Each box contained a brick consid
erably larger than a common brick
and a great deal heavier. The aver
age weight of each, after the -yooden
casing and heavy paper wrappings
w ere removed, was about 220 pounds,
and if it were possible for a man to go
around with a brick like this in his
hat we would be very willing to take
one of the packages home for it. EacH
brick was of sol id gold from theassay?
er's office in New York, and the con
signment was sent to the mint at
Philadelphia. The entire weight of
the 100 bricks was 266,760,78 ounces
Troy, or over eleven tons. The actual
net weight valuation was $5,101,400.
31. Each brick was worth over $51,
000. Duty B. fore Honor.
Dr. Agnew, of Philadelphia, was
sent for to come to Washington to see
the President. He was requested to
remain, but he declined saying that
his patients required his attention.
One of the President's physicians, in a
rather insinuating manner aked
what kind of patients they were, find
the whole-souled eurgeon feplied that
one was ft laborer in a ship-yard who
had a badly fractured skull, and anoth
er one, a founder in a machine shop,
suffered from a wound in the abdo
men. When it was urged that the
President's life was valuable and that
it was his duty to remain, he replied
that he didn't see it in that light. He
said the Nation was able to secure the
best physicians for the President, and
his patients in Philadelphia were poor
men and their lives depended upon
proper treatment,1 and that he consid
ered it his duty to attend them, lie
said he appreciated the honor offered
him, but must decline it, on the
ground, that the lives of these two la
borers were as dear to their families
as was the life of the President to Mrs.
Garfield, and he would not desert them
for the honor of being the President's
physician. We say that this, noble
surgeon's name should live forever in
the hearts of our people, as a man
w:ho looked to the healing of the un
fortunate, before he would accept the
highest honor in his profession.
Who Can Beat Him.
A negro boy by th name of Rom
Lawson, at the section at Allensville,
in Person county, did eat one and a
half quarters of mutton, eighteen bis
cuits, one loaf of corn bread, a piece of
shoat supposed to weigh about one
pound, two half grown chickens, five
herrings, one pound of candy, and
drank about three quarts of water. He
then said he hadn't eat half enough.
He offered to bet he could lift more
with a hftndstick, or could throw any!
man on the ground. And in order to
show his strength, he 1 took a man in
his teeth that weighed 213 pounds and
carried him about over the ground.
He then went . to another table and
called for a 23 cents snack. A few
years ago the same negro was attacked
by a gang often foxes while in the
field at work. He killed and captured
five or six of them and put the rest to
flight.
We cannot vouch for the above, but
there are several in town who wit
nessed it. Durham Plant.
Good Sense.
Here is something that ought to be
read by a good many people:
"Don't be afraid of killing yourself
with overwork, son. Men seldom
work so hard as that on the -sunny side
of thirty. They die -sometimes; but
it is because they quit work at 6 p.
m., and don't get home until 2 a. in.
It's the intervals that kill, my son.
The work gives you an appetite for
your meals; it lends solidity to your
Blum ber; it gives you a perfect and
grateful appreciation of a holiday.
There are young men w ho do not
Nyork, my son young men who make
a living by sucking the eftd of a cane,
and who can tie a necktie in eleven
different knots, and never lay a wrin
kle in it; who can spend more money
in1 a day than you can earn in a month,
son; and who will go to the sheriffs to
buy a postal caril and apply at the
office of the street commissioners for a
marriage license. So find out what
you want to be and to -do, son; take
your coat off, and make success in the
world. The busier you are, the less
evil you will be apt to get into, the
sweeter will be your sleep, the bright
er and happier your holiday, and the
better satisfied will the world be with
you." i
Some author says that one of the
uses of adversity is to bring us out.
That's true particularly at the knees
and elbows.
John Smith's Opinion f Femnlr
Doctors.
a t.,i.,i . i .4
tV t. IjOUIS doet1fr f:lTrv TvwanHv
turned out a dozen female doctors:
j
As long as the female doctors
. , I
confined to one or tw. in the whole
county and those were only experi-
mental ve held our peace and did not
complain; but now that the colleges
are engaged in producing female doe -
in so uoing will give a few reasons
why female doctors will not prove a
paying branch of ihdustry.
In the first place if they doctor any
body it must be women, and three
foiiftlls of the women would, rather
have a male doctor. Suppose these
colleges turn out female doctors until
' '
mere are as many of them as there 1
are male doctors, what have they got
to practice? A man, if there is noth
ing the matter witli him, might tall
on a female doctor, but if he w as as
sick asa horse Jif a man is sick he is as
sick' as a horse,) the last thing he
would have around would be a fe
male doctor. And why? liecause
when a man has a female fumbling
around him he wants to fe'el well. He
don't want to be bilious or fevefish,
writh his mouth tasting like cheese,
and his eyes blood shot, when the f
male is looking him over and taking
account of stock. Of Course, these fe
male doctors are young and good
looking, and if one of them came into
a sick room where a man was In bed,
and he had chills, and was as cold as a
wedge, and should sit up close to the
side, of the bed and take hold of his
hand, his pulse would run up .to 150,
and she would prescribe for a fever
when he had chillblains. Oh, you
can't fool us on female doctors. A
man who has been sick, and had male-;
doctors, knows just how much he
would like to have a female doctor
come tripping in and throw her fur
lined cloak over a chair, take off her
hat and gloves and throw them on a
lounge, and come up to the bed with a
pair of marine blue eyes, With a twin
kle in the corner, and look him in the
wild, changeable eyes, and ask him to
run out his tongue Suppose he knew
his tongue was coated so it looked like
a yellow Turkish towel, do you sup
pose he would want to run out over
five or six inches of the lower part of
it and let that female doctor put her
finger on it to see ho furred it was?
Not much. lie wouldputthat tongue
into his cheek, and wouldn't let her
see it for twenty-five cents admission.
We have all seen doctors put their
hands under the bed clothes and feel
of a man's" feet to seeifthey werecold.
If a female doctor should do that it
would give a man cramp in the legs.
A male doctor can put his hands on a
man's stomach, and liver and lungs,
and ask him if he feels any pain there,
but if a female doctor should do the
same thing, it would make a man
pick, and he would want to get up and
kick himself for employing a .female
doctor. Oh, there is no use talking, It
would kill a man. ,
Another contingency. .Now: sup-!
pose a man has heart disease, and a fe
male doctor should, want t .listen to
the beating of his heart. She would
lay her left ear on his left breat, so
her eyes and rosebud mouth would be
looking right in his face, jnd her wavy
hair would -..be scattered all around
.there, getting tangled in the buttons
of his night shirjt. Don't you suppose
his heart would get in about twenty
extra beats to tpe minute? You bet!
And she would smile we will b't $10
that she would smile and show her
pretty teeth, and her ripe lips would
be working as though she were count
ing the beat, and he would think she
was trying to whisper to fumy and
Wtil, what would he be doing all this
time? If he was not dead yet, ; which
would .be a wonder, his left hand
would brush the hair away from her
temple and kind of stay there to keep
the hair -away, and his rieht hand
would get sort of nervous and move
around to the back of . her head, and
when she sounded the beats a few
minutes and was raising her head he
would draw the head up to him and
kiss her once for luck, if he was as
billious as a Jersey swamp angel, and
have her charge it in the bill. And
then a. reaction would set in and he
would be s weak as a cat, and she
would have to fan him and rub his
head till he got over being nervous,
and then make out his prescription
lifter he got asleep. No, all of a man'n
sy mptoms change when a female doc
tor is practicing on him, and the
would kill him dead! ,
A traveller says that if he were
asked to describe the first sensation f
a camel ride he would say: "Take a
music-stool, and having wound it up
as high as it would go, put it in a cart
without springs, get on top, and next
drive the cart transversely across a
ploughed field, and you will then form
some notion of the terror and uncer- jher neighbors. Species almost ex
tainty you would experience the first tinct. We wish there were a few mof
time you mounted a camel.'' , : l0f them about.
