'I know that I'm pretty," aid Clare

Iy Wauiiiul to send all the young men
of my accjiiniiitauco into ecstagicn ovt-p

It in not always very easy for a girl
to judge of her ow n looks; but Clare
tried to bo as impartial na powsible on
this special occasion. And what vraa
it she haw reflected in the glaa before
which sho stood, critically nun-eying
the creature whom the world called
Clui o Winn inghiiin ? , - .
A tall, nupple figure, with sloping
shoulders ami a daintily tapered wuhtt ;
a skin as Bolt as satin, and tinted like
an oleander blossou ; deep blue eye.,
just tihaded into violet at tho irit. aud
a little lit'idi mouth, w here the teeth
shown at every i-milo like pearls
through a crimson shell. ,
"Yes said Clare, nodding her
head o that certain piruU of golden
brown hair, which always bung over
her forehead, danced eoquettiahly up
and down, "I am pretty. And. then
that twelve hundred dollars a year
that Uncle Drucu's will secured to me
ihii'l altogether a disagreeable pill for
some of my lovem- to swallow.' I
don't think 1 was made for an heiress.
I like to make, and mend, patch aud
contrive, aud I've always had au idea
that I bliould make a pplendid poor
mau's wile. i mean, of course, a
tpli-ndid wifw for a poor man."
She took lrom her bi ll a withered
red rose and a t finch of faded violets,
as she rpoke, aud arched her pretty
eyebrows over ihviu hi a puiilcd fuli
i n.
"Harvey Gallctie gave mo the
rosfj, she soli Io jniicd. Ile't very
handsome, is Harry,' aud I always did
have a weakness for handsome peo
ple ; and he's a rising young man in
Ids profession, "topic hay. 1 like tal
ented people, loo I'll keep the rose

where she was wont to treasure souv

and yet there's Koiuethiug about him
that won't let yuu iestise him. And
he certainly is not handsome, though
he has finu eves, and a lace like one of
those old marble creations one sees
in the Academy of Design. Well, 1
won't throw away the violets either.

And dare took tho jeweled hair
pins out of her shining trcsse, ami
laid a-i'!e her white larletan dress and
wreaths of Line blossoms, .aud weut
composedly to Wd. "
For should she lie awake aud lose
the fresh roses of her complexion, and
dim the sparkle of those glorious vio-U-t
eyes, thinking about the respective
claims of the various lovers who
hotered. moth like, about the torch
light of her charms ? There w as time
enough to make up her mind quite
time enough. W Jiy, she was not yet
nineteen, and life was so full of bloom
and freshness for her. Clare knew that
the autumn must come sooner or later,
but she menul to have a good time first.
beiisiLIe Clare.
So. in the middle ot the season.
when ball, otieras, masq-ierades and
ilrjitHe uaitaitults were at their height,
and when obi Aunt Dalmatne wrote
piteous letter to her brother, in
town, saying that she hal the rheuma
tiz dreadful bal, am) there wa'u't uo
reliable help to - be had, and she was
that lonesome that she couldn't stand
it any longer, and wouldn't one of her
three nieces come down and stay with
her a spell, Clare astonished the fami
ly circle by volunteering to go. .. ,
31 y uear, said Mrs. V iniringham,
you lon'l know what you are under
taking. It is a common larm-honse,
not even painted, among the hills"
And Aunty Ann is as full of whims
as at; egg - can bo of meat," said papa
Wintriiinham, rubbing his nose
But I suppose the is poor and lone
some.
"Well, but," said Clare, "Miriam's
busy with her conservatory lessons
aud her German class, and , Laura be
longs to those sociables, and I seem
to be the only ono disengaged. Be
sides, I'm getting tired of ''rills and
dances and twelve o'clock suppers.., I
should like to try the other extreme
just for fun."
"Well, at any rate, I mean to try,"
said Clare, virtually. "So, papa, write
to Aunt Dalrnayne that 1 in coming."
lhe scene looked indescribably
beautiful to Clare Wintringham that
frosty, December night, as the jolting
lumber waon, with a bunalo robe
spread over the seat, and a sleepy old
horse trotting in trout, t turned into
the valley road, and she could see the
ancient larni house, sleep-rooted and
brown with half a century of suns and
rams, with the maple boughs wrest
ling over her head :in the gale, and
the wooden lulls rising up on every
side, while one ruddy beam of light
glowed from the tiny windows under
the : eaves, casting, as it might be, a
iavelhT of brightness across the road
in tront ot the door. v
I guess she's ex pectin' of you,"
said the rough charioteer, who had
been sent to the depot to meet Mrs
Dalmayne's city niece, 'Jut I'm afraid
you II hud it very lonesome.

sprang out of the vehicle "! think its

And she entered the; low rceiled
kitchen, all aglow with the roaring
fire of pine logs on the' hearta, aii;
further illuminated with two tallow,
candles in vrv brisiht candle-sticks.
Aunt Dalmavne had evidently bestir
red-herself, for the table was spread
with hot bntt ermillc biscuits, , baked
apples, custards and quince preserves
aud the old lady herself Gobbled for

niece. Ji

Dalmayne's heart by storm
' She had been an 'iiimale or the farm
house about a week, " when , ono of
thoso grand anti-Chrtslmaii snow
storm camo on, which veil the whole
country side- in spotlesa . whito, and
hang the woods in royal robes ot er
mine. ' Aunt Dalinay lie's rheiiinaiism
grew ''worse, and she kept' her room ;
but Clare went about air jight-hcarled
as ever, doing tho whole , work of the
house, with such assistanco as, Moses
I'eckmhu, the, hired hand, was able to
render her. ' ' "-'
: .The snow had fallen steadily all
day, blown into drifts by the wind
that howled lugubriously through the
gorges of the hills, and at last the
twilight deepened over tho stormy
earth. . ; ' ' ; -' :' 1
Claro was silting thoughtfully be
fore the firelight, peeling apples for a
pudding which was , dear to .Aunt
Dalmayne's soul, when-Moses entered.
'Miss Clare," said he,'lhore's two
gentlemen got storm-bound outside,
and they've missed the way, and their
horses is clean tired out; they wanted
to know il we'd give m a night's
shelter. - I told '"Vm Mrs. Dalrnayne
was sick, and 1 wasn't boss, but I d
ask tho young woman w ho docs the
work." , . ;
Claro winced a litllo, and theu
laughed outright at Moses' unpolished
language. " -
- '"Of course they . may come in," she
said. "I wouldn't turn even a dog
from tho door on such a bight as
this." ,
And she threw a Iresh log on the
lire, aud lighted the caudles, as stio
spoke. , , , , . ' . ;
But w hat was her. atnazemeut, on
turning to welcome the strangers, to
behold in them no strangers at all,
but Mr. ' Harvey Galtclto and his
lriend Frank Hood I
, lowlered literally with enow, their
noses reddened by the wind, their
features rendered unusually rigid
by coll, they stood blankly regard
ing her, but Clare came forward with
lhe grace oi a young duchess.
UooU evening, gentlemen. I'ray
come a little nearer to the fire. I
hardly supposed that in the storm
bound strangers who anUght shelter
here, I was to welcome old acquaint
ances.
"But, Miss Wintringham exceed-

staiumtred Mr. Gall tie, awkwardly,
his frog like hand to touch
ier own : "but what can you possibly

demurely. "I am doing the House
work here. ...
'Miss Wintrinhaml" f
"Well, why notr
Mr. Galtetie had no reply ready ;
he only rubbed his hands, smiled
freely, and advanced toward the red
blaze, while Mr. Hood was exchang
ing in turn his greeting with the for
mer heiress.
It is a surprise. Miss Wintringham,
to see you here," he said, fiatikly, "but
a very agreeablo one."
Ami Clare wondered in her heart
what new mode of gallantry had ta
ken away all Frank Hood's awkard-
tiess. ,. , - ...-...;. ' :.- -
Tib as good, as a tableau," she
thought gleefully, when Hood had ex
plained to her that unexpected busi
ness had taken them across the coun

mi'. about so entirely unanticipated a
meeting. She had , gone into the
outer kitchen to get cream for the ta

leathery folds she heard Gallctto's
voice speaking. . -.
"Uf course the father lias ' faded
and they've lost everything. A great
pity, tor with that face she might have
married well.
And " what in to prevent her mar
rying well now?" Frank Hood's slow
deliberate tones answered
My dear fellow, we must all look
out for tho main chance. In fact, I
was once a little smitten myself, but

Mr. Hood did not reply ; and Clare,
as i she stood there with burning
cheeks, was glad that he did not.
But when she came back to preside

end, she. was as composed as ever.

The storm continued in unabated
violence for two days, during which

Of fho ofl'er lrom an American liter
ary bureau to pay this country a leu-

just .tell you one little thing that hap-
encd to me this afternoon. 1 had a
letter from A gentleman well known
in America giving me this oiler g25,

JU0 for each lecture. I ; On these
terms the twenty-five nights would
give mo ,io ,uuu, and in one hundred
nights I should have 10,000. ; Bo
sides this I should bo allowed to lec
ture as many nights as I chose, so that
might in : the course ot a year be
worth 10,000: whilo if I stay here I
shall have nothing liko .that, and no
doubt the persons, who undertake this
would earn ", ten , times that amount.
have nothing to do but to leave you
for a year. And come home wiih'iO,
WO or 40,000 what do you suppose
was my answer to this ofler ? I wrote
'If you were to multiply that offer by
a hundred times, and again by a hun
dred times, I should feel it just as easy
to decline " as l.do now, when 1 say
that I cannot cross the ocean to lec-
ure upon any- subject , whatever, I
am ft minister ot the Oospel, and
never lectured lor money, and dp not
intend lo do so now. If my people can
not support me it is a pity." Home
oople would say," W hy not go over to
America and get the money to build
the college?" I will not do so, be
cause I will not do anything to de
grade myself and disgraco yon. I
will not appeal to any other country
to do what, vou can and ought to do
yourself. I here are? two brothers
to night who have received of
fers from America. Each man can
lecture as well as preach, nnd there
is no harm in their having 500 and a
months' holiday. If I weo in their
tosiiion I would do the same thing.
but as I am, I cannot leave you. I
cannot leave the college nor the or-

A Sagacious Dock Sheriff Atkin
son, ot Virginia City, is the owner of
a remarkably knowing dog, which.
under the cognomen ot "Jailer, seems
destined to take rank as a historical
personaso alonir with "Lazarus" aud
"Bummer" of San Francisco, and our
own lamented VKyxer.V "Jailer", is
hy , no means a handsome dog far
from it; but what uo lacks in person
al attractions he makes up in natural
goodness of heart. , lie has such
winning ways about htm, that notwith
standing his homeliness he is an es
tablished favorite '.with, everybody,
even to tho .most vicious boy that he
meets in , the . street, f Jailer" . , has
spent the most of his time in the
County Jail, until he has got to re
gard himself as the major domo ot
the eslabl ish men t, the veritable "Fath
er of "the Marshalsea." 1 His specialty
is n res. When the alarm ot lire is
sounded lie, makes a break for B
street, and if the door of the jail is
closed against him', he makes no bones
at ail oi jumping inrougn a window.
Arrived on-the street, he watches pa
tiently to ascertain .the direction ta
ken by Ho. 4 s engine and .governs
his ' own movements' accordingly.
During the 1 progress of !!8 fire he usu
ally t takes dd bis position on some
commanding eminence U and takes
general survey of the situation never
leaving his post until the last spark is
extinguished.' An alarm of fire in Vir
ginia City last evening caused Jailer"
a cood deal of; perplexity.- lie nrst
made hia way, at, the top of , his, speed

YcHterday, accompanied' by Dr.
LWier, W,,F,. Bishop and McGill of
the IitdrjmtdtmL we visited the premi
ses where the body of the murdered
Dr.: York was foand. It'is situated
on section 13, township 31, range 17,
Odftgo township, ; near Timber ( Hill
creek, thirteen miles from Parson'.
The road leading froui Osit-e Mis
sion to Independence lays across the
premises, which is a wild unbroken
claim. The house is a one-story,
plijo lumber frame, 102 feet, neith
er plastered nor ceiled. A cloth
partition ' had been thrown across,
leaving a small room in tho rear.
Tho first room had been used as a
store, in which a amall utock sl
croods had been kept for Kale. In
tho back room wnc o trap door, about f .
10x22 inches, underneath of which
had been a large holo ecooped out
like a pickle dish, about six feet deep
at the lowest point. The bides, door
and roof of the house were perforat
ed with, " by actual count, a dozen
bullet holes. W e found two stoves,
a bedstead and a few articles of
clothing remaining in the house. A
few steps southeast of the house,
stood a stone blable' covered with
straw." To tho east a hundred yards
aud across the road stood a corn crib.
Twenty tt iu the rear was a piece
of broken ground containing about
three-quarters of an acre, and on
Bicu stood an orchard of apple
trees. (There wa no fencing about
the premises,, and this urnall patch
was the only ground , broken upon
the claim. It was thini small orchard
that proved to bo the burying ground
of eight murdered victims
lho circumstauces wuich led to
tho discovery of Dr. York's body are
these, Last Friday Silas Tolea,
whiie' ra&sing the premises alxve
leacribed, noticed that it had a dcBO-
nt appearance aa if unoccupied.
Cattlo, Loga and horses were wander
ing about the place aa if they needed
attention, lie examined more close-
y and found the bouse dt-t.tr ted, and
the horses and wagon gone. ' He
looked into a pen aud found a dead
calf, which fro.rn appearance had
starved to death. lis notified L. r.
Dick, trustee of the township, of the
circumstances when ou Monday Mr.
Dick, and a brother of the murdered
York, accompanied by two detectives.
made a thorough search of the
premises. ,
lhe family which bad deserted the
claim in such a mysterious manner.
were Hollanders by the name of
Bender (or Benter, as written in
pencil over the house). The family
consists of John Bender, CO years of
age, his daughter a young woman,
Mrs. Bender and her son, a youug
man. At times the young people
claimed to . be man and wife, but
publicly and when on a' tour a a
Hpirtual lecturer, she passed oil as
Misa Katie Bender.
On entering the bouse they found
the fuEoituro regularly arranged, the
stoves in their accustomed place and
nothing but a portion of bed clothing
was missing. Even flour and other
pao visions were remaining. They
were met by a strong, sickening
stench which drove them back. In
attempting to ascertain the source of
the stench, and a place to pry up the
floor, which was pine grooved, they
discovered a small trap door describ
ed above, under a table standing in
the center of the house. From , the
hole arose the stench. The hole was
searched but contained nothing but
clotted blood. : .
The next. day' a more thorough
scorch woa juade, , the bouse was
dragged from, off the bole, but noth
ing further was developed. , - They
passed to the plowed ground in , the
rear and probed it . with iron , rods.
Mr. York said, "Look out for graves."
He was the first to perceive a slight
depression in the east end of the
garden . A force at once proceeded
to remove the earth, when, to , their
horror, they unearthed the body of
the murdered York. .. . .' . .
It was crowded in a bole abou, j
four feet long and - four feet deept
bead down and feet almost protrud
ing through the soil. When remov
ed the bead fell from the body. The
throat bad beeu cut from ear lo ear,
severing leaders and arteries. The
skull - was mashed , ia two places,
an if done by a hammer, a blow ; ou
either side of the head. .', A shoe-
hammer, however, and a batcet, were
found in the bouse, the polls of
which fit the holes.. , . .', ; .
' On Wednesday still further 6earch
was made, when seven more . bodies
were exhumed, All of . which have
since been identified. . The graves
were found on the east edge of the
breaking, in a. tow, excepting one
body which was found in a ; round
bplejonce used as a well. ? -On
the -extreme west was found
the body of Longcor and child, in
one grave. - This is the man of whom
York bad been making diligent in
quiry, He; bad left Independence
for Iowa last winter, with a team,
accompanied by a little girl eighteen
months old.!. His team and wagon
bad been found a few miles below
that place, in the woods near a creek,
which York-, and others afterwards
identified as the property of Long-
cor. ': The child was -; buried in its
clothes, which were identified. Most
of a the - bodies were ; stripped, and
those of MeKinzie, York and Long
cor mutilated in a manner that would
shock the modesty of a Modoc. !

Pieces of weather boarding, per

mementoes. Also locks of bair of
the dead.
All the bodies found have been
placed there since last October. It
is possible more may yet be found.
For a year or more past, bodies have
been found in' the creeks and on the
prairies -within a radius of twenty
miles of thi place. The Bender
family have been residing on the
claim about three years and it is not
improbable, " from the wholesale
slaughter recently discovered that
they, or as a party by an extensive
gang of marauders .bad something
to do with these mysterious murders.
The claim is an old section of rail
road land. Some one with an eye to
business : under the most trying
circumstances stuck op a board near
the well on which is written; "This
claim taken May Ctb, 1873, R. Eider."
Fiction founded upon the annals
of crime baa failed to furnish mys
tery so astounding as this revelation
of horrible facts. It is with this
feeling that a visitor wrote on the
door of the murderer's den, "John
Bender, special agent for Hell." " As
this house was a seeminjr plaee of
entertainment for , . wayfarers,! it
forces to the mind that startling old
Russian romance. "The Traveler's

speculation in ' this octave of mur

because of the interest be was tak
ing in endeavoring to trace ups the
missing Loogcor aud child. " He had
identified the wagon found at Long-
cor 8 and in case the murder was re
vealed would become an important
witness. ' ' - - . .. ...

sixth of April, left their team and

A special gives the following full
text of President McMahon'a address
to the Prefects of Paris: , y
'5 ','1 have been called, through, tho
confidence of the National Assembly,'
to the Presidency of the '' Republic,
Noimmeliate change will be made in
existing laws, regulations or institu
tions.!'..' .. -. :;.-
'I rely on national order;; and, I
count upon your Vigilance, your pa
triotism and your as-iistance."
Tbe-scsnes were ; extremely excit-,
ing in the National Assembly Cham
ber pending the discussion, which
resulted in the deposition of Thiers
and the exaltation of McMahon. -In
the l'resident's box were Madame
Thitr. the Prefect -of the depart-,
uient of the Seine, and -others, who
were gesticulating quite wild and
once the Prefect was called to order
for his enthusiasm. . The Diplomatic
corps was well represented. Lord
Lyons, lritiib Minister, was not
present, being engaged, in giving a
dinner-reception in honor of Queen
Victoria's birth-day. ' Many celebra
ted women of Naj oleon's Court, - as
well as of the Republic, occupied con
spicnous places, and remaiued ,untii
the political change was'cousu mated.
Aa soon as the vote was taken depos
ing Thiers, the representatives of dif
ferent countries immediately left and
telegraphed the news to their re3pct
ive Governments. Thiers sat a close
watcher of events, and wo constantly
rising witlr the exclamation, "O bien
MessteurH. ' Heaused an immense
excitement when he . fcaid: "They
ave spoken of negotiations when it
ban occurred to me they oalv wanted
the Government to be transferred to
Paris. But the army would not , en
ter there. . 1 have repelled them in
order to prevent the shedding of
streams of blood at the expense of.
the army; if there is a man who.
counts the cokt of effusion of blood,
it a myself, I have fallen, or rather,
wish to say we have fallen. Jtor a
long time I have hoped that this de
testable faction (the close of the sen
tence was lost bv a tremendous up
roar which the beginning had excited."
Again did Thiers awaken the enthn-'
siosm of bis friends. 'When charged"
with being a protege ,of radicalism,.
he retorted: "There was something
more remarkable than that in their,
midst. They hal with thenr the"
Duke de Broglie, who w the pro-'
lege of the Empire." , .
