"t.tl yrurs, a jriwiicr in tho common
i lit tliilt J.ldce, II.IWIIH CiilllilieiJ as
e:i t;,Miij -jm r:wii, uo t vp, in tiei, a
tiii.iio tiniiiiiic on the subject of religion.
I was informed that before Ids iiiipris
ennictit ho lived in 1'ittatown, a town
on tlm Jiennels-c lltvcr, op'sisilo the
town of Gardiner ; that jio whs a com
mon laborer, quite ignorant, und una
h'c tortaid orwiite. There witHinOnrdi
tier, an Kpiscopul ihurcli, which he
sometinies tttteiidcil, hut his religious
t'citctucrit wart occusiuia'd hy heoriug
an itinerant preacher. Ho told me
liwmself that it became impressed on
his inind thai ho must make a htirnt
offering sacrifice, but hn didn't know
to do it, and was much troubled. At
length it occurred to him it would bo
best to hum tho church at Cardiner,
and kill a certain woman who was liv
in a siimll lionso on tho bank of tho
Caboseconti, a few miles alsjve Gardi
ner village; but tip whs still doubtful.
That in this uttsettlctl mind ho went
alone at midnight into the church, and,
whi! there, thinking on tho subject, he
heard n voicn from hi-avetl, Haying,
" Voting iiihh, push on that this
tin utt thut ho shouhl go forward and
do what ho was then cotilemphttitig
tln.t is, burn the church and kill the
Oman. This removed all doubt ; then
he knew w hat ho must d. He; thought
ho would save the "holy things," as hm
called tin -in that is, the Hible, prayer.
Isjok and pulpit cushions, lit accord
ingly cartied them fchort distance and
hid them under tins roots of a trc
which had been blown down. Itcthcn
went and got some cnals, carried
them in shoo to tho tht. ih, u t it on
lite, and it was totally c itnuiu, .!. If
Said the next day thi-ro was a great
talk alaitit it and utuither man ws ac
cumhI, but ho went forward and told
tho s.ople tl.nl that loan lind nothing
to do w ith it ; that he set fire to the
church himself ; nd to convince them
of it, lie car Hut! m of them to the
f!,ice and showed them tho holv thimra
h had saved. Tho burnt ollering was
then complete, and it only remained to
make the mmti'Ucp. 1 or that ptirHjs
he got into a canon in the tii 'lit time,
shoved it up stream till he came op
sil whero the woman liveI, then land
ed. and wettt into the liouse. ( n en
tering, he found two men asleep on the
floor. lie stejiped over theut
and saw the woman by the side of the
bod, on which there was a sick ron ;
and, at the same time, by the light of
the lire, ho saw a butcher knife stick
ing in a team overhead, and he knew
that the Ixird had prepared that knife
for this purpose, lie took it, went to
the woman, seized her by the hair, and
cut her throat ; that he then left the
house without beting obstructed, got in
to his canoe, and went home. The
next day a great crowd nine after him,
some of them armed, as if they expect
ed a violent resistance, but lie had no
such idea, lie submitted ouictlv, and
they carried hiin to jail.
I was told by others that when he
was arraigned in Court upon an indict
ment of murder, he aaid be killed the
woman. Chief-Justice Parsons said he
was under no obligation to confess his
guilt, and Imd a right to require the
CommonwoAltli to prove it, Jlo an
swered! that he killed the woman and
sliotildn t lie about it. 1 he jury upon
his trial returned a verdict of murder,
but he was never sentenced. On the
calender of prisoners was an entry,
"James SlcClausland, convicted of mur
der,"and under this record, he was held
in prison until hi.; death, more than
thii ty years, I believe. ' I conversed
with him several times, and he always
told the same story, lie answered all
questions readily, and without excite
ment. 1 si-ked htm it lie was not sor
ry he had killed the woman. He said,
no; he was commanded to do it and his
sins were forgiven,

was always grave and serious. I never

melancholy or depression. He never
indicated a wish to be liberated, nor

the jailer, lie seemed perfectly satis
fied with himself and his condition.
was told that a woman on seeing him
burst into tears. He said to her, "Good
d'Oiiian, don't cry for me, but for your
self and your children. I am better
olf than you are." Ho had no anxiety
for the present or the future. He said
once to me, "I am as happy ii;the arms
of the Saviour as an infant child in the
arms of its mother." I think he never
had a doubt that the burning of the
church and the killing of tho woman
were meritorius acts, in obedience to an
express command from Heaven, and
that his sins were thereby expiated and
forciven.
He was so much au object of curiosi
ty that he had many visitors, from each
of whom he exacted two cents. We
all stood outside the iron door of his
cell and talked with him through
small, square hole near the top. If,
while conversing with one, another ap
peared, he would dodge out of sight,
und remain there until the tribute was
psid. I linked him why he charged
thut sum and neither more or less. He
said it was because that was the small
est stun mentioned in the Scripture -the
widow cast into the treasury two mites
- -and he thought if ho charged only
the smallest sum mentioned, he was do
ing right. He learned to read while in
prison, but I never saw any book in his
cell except a Bible and prayer-look.
He generally asked his visitors if he
shouhl make a prayer; if the answer
was in the nllirniiitivc, he would rejsjat
one of the prayers of the Kpiscoal
church. Ho was a large man, above
thi a vers go hight, with broad should
ers and other indications of physicial
strength. In LU countenance there
was nothing remarkable except his eyes,
which were very piercing. He wore a
aown or robe covering his shoulders and
reaching to his ankles. He was clean
ly and neat in his person, and while he
stood erect with -Jim long abundant
!eard resting on his breast, his appear
anco was dignilicd and patriarchal.
His cell was not large, and was situ
ated on tho ground floor, near the en
trance of tho building. After being in
the cell twenty years, I think about
twenty, ho was on one occasion taken
out. It was in order to measure him
for some new clothing. The jailer con
ducted him through a covered way to
his dwelling-house. Jit was there met
by a tailoress who at once proceeded
to take the necetmaiy measurements.
While she was doing this, which was
but a short time, he stood rfectly
still; when she turned away ho walked
to the middle of the room, looked out,
and said, "This seems to me like a pal
ace;" then, going toward a window, he
said, "What large windows yon have V
It was a small dining-room, with an or
dinary table, a painted floor, and a few
common chairs. The windows were
small. There were four or five men
present Ijesidea myself; they made some
few remarks, but McClatislatid was si
lent. He seemed excited, walked to
and fro two or three times, and then
said, "I wilt go back." JVIr, Dilling
ham, the jailer, said to him, "You
needn't be in a hurry, McClausland; sit
down," and he otTcrcd him a chair. He
said, "No, 1 11 go back; I'll go back;"
and then, of his own accord, he return
ed to his cell.
Some years after this, when I was
attending court in Augusta, Mr. Dil
lingham came to me and aaid, "Mo
Clnualand wants to see you." I was
much surprised, and went forthwith to
tlm jail, As soon as he learned I was
there, he put out his hand, with some
!ank bills in it, saying to me, "Take
this." 1 declined and Baked him what
he wanted. He replied, "You are go

you to go to General Jackson and get
him to order them to jy mo my jwn-

J told him that Cteneral Jackson could
not help him; that the law directed how
his pension should lie disposed of. He
replied, "General Jackson, is above the

to the young man of the jieriod: Ile-
uienibcr, son, that the world is older
than you are, by several years; that for
thousands of years it has been so full
of smarter and better young men than
yotirsef, that their feet stick on the dor
aier windows ; that when they died the
world went whirling on, and not one
man in ten millions went to the funeral
or even beard of the death, lie as
smart as you ran, of conrse. Know as
much aa you can without blowing the
packing out of your cylinder heads, shed
the light of your wisdom abroad in the
world, and don t dazzle people with it.
And don't imagine a thing is so simply
because you aay it is. Don't be sorry
for vour father because he knows so
much less than you do; remember the
reply of Dr. Wayland to the student of
Drown University who said it was an
easy enough thing to make proverbs
such as Solomon wrote: "Make a few,
tersely replied the old man. And we
never heard that the young man made
any. Not more than two or three, any
how! The world has great need of young
men, but no greater naod than the young
men have of it. Your clothes fit yeu
better than your father's lit him; they
cost more money : they are more sty

Young men are useful, son, and they

we couldn t engineer a picnic successful

that we were still pushing ahead at a
break neck pace towards the eity, sent
towards the city, sent General Quitman
to me, and my horse having been shot
me under, I was on foot explaining to
Gen. Quitman that it wotdd be madness
for us to desist from our advantage and
that General Scott never would have or

on we went, and in less than twenty
minutes we entered the garka or city
gate and unfurled the first American
flag in the city of Mexico the flag that
was borne by the Palmetto regiment."
The city yielded next day and the Pal
metto Sag, the first to be raised ever its
walls, was the last American ensign,
too, which waved there, the regiment
remaining at the request of the Mexi
can authorities as the rear ?uard.
South Carolina gave General Shields,
on his return after narrowly escaping
death from mortification of his wound
ed arm, a magnificent sword with a
gold scabbard and belt studded with di
amonds and rubies, the whole costing
?7,000. It was inscribed as fellows :
"From 'he State of South Carolina to

her admiiation of his gallantry in the

the col urns of the paper, and found
therein three columns of closely printed

fact that Mr. Gilfry is Mr. Kincaid'

because we never mixed "plunder" with

to belittle Mr. G rover, and Mr. Gilfry,
because he (Kincaid) had lost his posi

A family grocer in the northern part
of the city has oeen annoyed a great
deal by boys stealing boxes and other
articles from the yard in the rear of the
store, and the other day he made ready
for a visit, determining to catch a boy
and n:ake an example of him. By and
by four or five lads dropped on the
fence into the yard, and they were
mousing around in search of plunder
when the grocer rushed at them. Some
how or other all got over the fence, but
one boy left behind him on a rail about
half a yard of cloth from the "bulge"
of his breeches. With this proof in his
hand the grocer rushed around and out
upon the street, and as luck would have
it he collared the boy who had lost the
patch.
"Now I've got you now I ve got
proof!" exclaimed the grocer, as he
waved the cloth on high.
"I don't see it," cooly replied the
boy.

In the course of his oration at Den
ver, JS. II., on uecoration lay, tue
Rev. A. II. Q lint said: Between eight
and cine o'clock on the morning of No
vember 1st, 1777, the continental ship
ef war, the Ranger, IS guns, Capt. John
Paul Jones commander, weighed anchor
and Bailed out of Portsmouth harbor.
It went out on that gallant cruise on
the English coast, in which it met and
captured the English war vessel, the
Drake, of, superior force, both ol men
and guns. The Ranger was built in a
New Hampshire harbor, by a -New
Hampshire mechanic, and sailed from a
New Hampshire harbor. It was man
ned by a crew of the Piscataqua, and
largely by hardy mariners from this
town. Exra Green, the surgeon who
ministered to the wounded in that
bloody Bea fight, was a citizen of Dover,
whom yon and I remember as he walk
ed the streets an old man in our boy
hood, who sleeps in this historic ground;
and its young commander of marine,
killed in action, was Samuel Wallings
ford, of the Rollinsford part of ancient
Dover. Why do 1 call your attention
to the fact that Dover men were a part
of the crew of the brave Paur Jones t
Because on the very day on which
Jenea was assigned to that vessel Con
gress adopted the flag of the Stars and
Stripes, the history tells us that when
the Ranger went out of Portsmouth
harbor, for the first time our national
flag floated upon the breeze. On the
Hth of February, 177S, it received a
salue from a French admiral, undoubt
edly, as one of the Raitger's oflcers
wrote that day, "The first salute ever
paid the American flag." Men of our
own town and ef out own blood manned
the vessel which bore for the first time
in history the Stars and Stripes, which
thenceforth went in the career of na
tional achievement until it became hon
ored and feared throughout the world.
And never have you or those departed
been dastards when the henor of that
flag demanded your service.
If we ever have to be shot to death
and we don't wan't to be we want
to choose in what position, in whi t ct
