"Ihe governor pardoned John Bria ben, a penitentiary convict, to-day. He was sent up from Bourbon for fifteen years for forgory, and hod ten years to serve. Our readers are familiar with the history of this case, and the humane aotion ef his excellency will be generally commended." Frankfort (Ky.) Yeo man. J . i ' . 1 ) I read this little paragraph and my mind went back six years I knew John Brisben, and I also knew his twin brother Joseph. I was familiar with the details-of the aotion that placed John Brisben in a felon's cell, and now when the sad affair is brought back to mind so vividly I must write it out, for never be fore have I met, In prose or poetry, in real life or in romance, a greater hero than plain, matter of fact John Brisben. The Brisbens came of good stock. I think the great-grandfather of my hero emigrated to Kentucky when Kenton's station,., between tbe present city of Maysville and the historio old town of Washington, was the principal settle ment on the "dark and bloody ground." He came from upper Pennsylvania and located about five miles from the Ohio river, on Limestone ereek. - Ho was an industrious, strong limbed, lion hearted old follow, and in a few years his sur roundings were of the most comfortable description. " One of his sons, Edwin B isben, once represented Kentucky in the federal congress. I thick he was the grandfather of John and Joseph Brisben. Their father's name was Samuel, and he died when they were little children, leav ing his widow an excellent blue grass farm and a snug little fortune in stocks, bonds and mortgages. The widow re mained a widow until her death. Mrs. Samuel Briabeti was a good woman and she idolized her two bojs. Like most twins, the brothers resembled eaou other in a strikiag manner, and even intimate acquaintances oould not tell them apart. Bnt although the physical resemblance was so strong there was great dissimilar ity in the dispositions of the twins. Joseph Brisben was surly and morose, sometimes cunning and revengeful.' He was withal a dreamer and an enthusiast; a man well learned in books, a brilliant, frothy talker when he choe to be soci able (which was seldom), a splendid horseman and a most excellent shot. John Brisben, on the contrary, was oheerf ul and bright, honorable and for giving. He was a man of high moral principle, intensely practical and meth odical, cared little for books, and. al though he said but little, was a splendid companion. He was a poor horseman, and I dou't think he ever shot a gun in his life, and, as for sport, he enjoyed himself only when hard at work., He inoai i.; tivntw ml when thev were U.0 i;inivi . v boys together suffered punishmout many times, and aneomplainigly that "Jodie" might go scot free. His life was, there fore, one oonetant sacrifice,-' bnt the ob jeot of this loving adoration made bnt shabby returns for this unselfish devo tion. ' " " " They were twenty years old when their m ther died veiy suddenly. The prop erty left to the boys was considerable. The day they were twenty-one years old the trustees met and made settlement. There was tbe blue grass farm valued at 0U,UUO, and SlUU.UUU in weu-uiveBteu aecurities-wbicb .could be turned into money. Joseph demanded a division. "You can take the farm, Jack," he aid. "I was never cut out for a farmer. Give me $75,000 in money for my hare." , , . So this sort of division . was made. John continued on at the homestead, orkinginhia plain, ' methodical waj, and slowly adding to bis share of the Ooney that he could raise out of the profits of the farm. Joseph, with his newly acquired wealth, set up an estab lishment at the nearest town and began a 1 f o of pleanere seeking of the grossest ort. His brother gave him no advice, for he knew it was useless. Joseph spent his money with great prodigality, nd before he knew it he was a beggar. In the meantime John's 825,000 had doubled itself. Ono day Joseph came to torn with a full confession of hia pecon iry troubles. . . . "Jack,". he said, "I am not only a beggar, but I am heavily in debt. Help e out like a good fellow, and I will settle down, in sober earnest." ' - , V. - TKn n.i'.lun niaepd Ur Hll IU3DI1 VVUU I " bin nm. tn an nrAar tnr illA 25.030 he kad earned ao laboriously.

It took all of John Brlsben'a hoard to pay his brother's dobts, but he made bo eompla'.nt, uiUrcd no reproach. He said: "I am glad yon are coming back to the farm, Jodie. You need do no work, and we will b J very happy together." So Joseph took up his residence at tho farm, and, remembering hia brother's words, devoted his time principally to hunting, fishing and riding about the country. In the meantime John BrihWi had fallen in love, and the daughter of a neighboring farmer, Compton, by name, was his promised wife. Being a man of strict honor himself, and having full confidence in bis brother, he did not ob ject when Joseph began to pay his aftl anoed very marked atntion. One night Joieph came to him just as the shadows of evening were beginning to fall. , There was a triumphant ring in his voioe when he spoke. "Jack, old boy," he said, holding out his band, "congratulate me. I think from to day I oan date the beginning of a new life. Alice Compton has promised to be my wife." They were married, and the man re jected by the bride and supplanted by the groom was the first to congratulate ths newly married pair. A vacant house on the furra was fitted up for their recep tion, and John Brit ben's money paid tor the furnishioK. "Hereafter, Jodie," he said, "we will divide the profits of the farm. I don't need much, and you shall have tbe larger share." Ten years passed away, and John Bris ben. an old man before his time, still worked from dawn till dark that his brother might play tbe gentleman and keep in comfort the large family which the years had drawn around him. It had been necessary to mortgage the old homestead to raise money to pay Joseph's gambling debts, for of late years ha had played heavily, and had invariably lost. One day it was the summer of 1877 a forged check was presented at one of tbe banks of tbe shire town, by Joseph Brisben, and the money for which it oalled was unhesitatingly paid over to him. He was under the influence of liquor at the time, and deeply interested in a game of cards for high stakes,wbicb was in progress. The check was for $2500, 1 think. Before daylight the next morning Joseph Brisben had lost every dollar of it. To drown his chagrin he becamj bewtly drunk, and while in tbis condi ti n an officer arrived and appre hended him for forgery and uttering a forged check. The prisoner was confiued in jail, and word of his disgrace was sent to John Brisben. "She must not know it," he said to himself, and he made instant preparation to visit hia brother. When he reached the jail he was admitted to the cell of the wretched criminal. The brothers remained together for several beurs. What passed during the interview will never be known, wnen wonn urinnen emerged from the jail he went straight to the magistrate who had issued the war rint for the apprehension of Joseph Brisben. "Squire," said he, in his slow, hesitat ing way, "you have made a mistake." "In what way, Mr. Brisbon?" asked the magistrate, who had a high regard (or his visitor. "You have caused the arrest of an in nooentman." "But" began the magistrate. "Issue an order for my brother's in stant release. He is innocent of tbe in tent to do wrong. I am the guilty man. I forged the name of Charles Ellison to the check which be nttered. He did not know that it was a forgery." "You 1" cried the astonished magis trate. "You a forger impossible!" 'Nothing is impossible in these doys," s.tid the white haired old man, sternly. "I alone am guilty. My brother is inno cent." Accordingly Joseph Brisben was le leased and returned to the farm. John remained at the jail a prisoner. When the extraordinary affair became known, several prominent citizens offered to go on the accused man's bond, but lie would not accept their kind offices. At the trial he pleaded guilty, and was sen tenced to fifteen years' imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary. Joseph came to see him before he was removed to Frankfort, but their interview was a private one. ' Joseph Brisben remained on the farm, bnt be was a changed man. From tbe day of his release from jail down to the time of his death he was never known to touch a card, and a drop of liquor never passed his lips. Last April be died, and hia oonfession, duly sworn to before a justice of the peace, was made public after hia bnrial. In snbstanoa it was this : That he was guilty of the forgery for whioh bis brother was Buffering a long Imprisonment. n "It was my brother's wish, not mine, reads' the document. "He insisted that he, who had no ties of blood or marriafeo, coflld better suffer the punishment and disgrace than I, who had dependent upon me a large family." - ' ' ' ' '" Noble John Brisben 1 Of such stuff are heroes made. Overcrowding and Crime In ParU. Overcrowding, however, has now reached such a point that serious uneasi ness is beginning to be felt by the mu nicipal council of Paris. The communal insurrection of 1871 proved that the reo pie of Paris bad not grown less revolu tionary because they lived in better look ing houses; and, indeed, the embellish ments of the city had, aa already shown, simply altered the conditions of the working mau' life without improving them. One of the emperor's ideas was !. .untinir Ann ntrA)t evervwbere he might disintegrate the popular mass. Instead ol clustering wgeiaur uj'- - .vman wnnlt Vm inread over MUU9, Wlluic -w - - -. all parta of tho city, and those of them . - . a : t w tlnA Anmi wno became lenauia 01 diu w i . flat at vh'ch were occupied by bourgeois lodgers won d, as he calculated, ue renueu vj m ence of these respectable abodes. This wu only a dream. The increase of pop ulation has caused whole districts to be; come once again "qoartiera ouvTiers, nd in these the almost ertire ex tinction of home life has had the most demoralizing results. Children being aent away, the home has no rai son d'etre," and marriages are becoming rarer and rarer. The Parisian workman lives mostly out of doors and in wine shopa. He does not carry hu dinner to hia work, but takes bis meals in an tatnlnet;" and as a rule hi evenings spent In a cafe. What instructio morals he guts is derived from the thea ter and from newspapers the4spiritual agencies which countless churches tem perance societies and other' religious bodies bring to boar on the poor of Lon don there is little to be soon in Paris. The city baa sixty Catholic churches and perhaps thirty chapels of othor donomi nations, so that one place of worship might be reckoned for about every 20, 000 inhabitants; and to all appearance even this is more than the prople deiire. Tbe national habit of thrift may be fairly counted among the elements which oper ate for good on workmen; but in respect of thrift the Parisians may be compared to ants who are prejed upon by ant eaters. Tbey save, but innumerable financial companies are on the lookout to catch their savings. "Chaugeurs," who are the popular bankers, abound in every quarter, and more than tweuty fin ancial journals, which profess to aot as guides to investors, are published daily. Bat every week the disappearance of some clangour and the collapse of some company is reported, and after every such event it turns cut that hundreds of workmen and servanta have been pinch ing themselves for years simply to feed a gang of swindlers. Under the influ ence of all these causes, overcrowding, childlessness, immorality, irroligious ness, and financial robberies, crime has devoloped to such an extent in Paris that the most drastic legislation has had to be proposed. It is computed tbat after the overthrow of the commune about 20,000 of the most reckless char acters in Paris were got rid of by shoot ing or transportation; but, notwithstand ing this great purge, M. Gamhetta had to declare, less than ten years afterward, that the criminal classes formed an "army of desperadoes ready to tbe band of any political adventurer." Last year the chamber of deputies passed a bill (which has not yet been voted by the senate) for sentencing to transportation for life all felons twice oonvioted; but even the heavy menace of this act has had no deterrent effect, for only a tew days ago the Parisian papers reported that regular battues of orimirals were being conducted in the suburbs, wt-ole companies of gendarmes and policemen being sent out against thorn with fire arms. London Times. Lithographing Stones, An important and valuable discovery has recently been made by a well known California artist. He was out on a sketching tour in Kern connty, near Te hachapi Paxs, and becoming abi orbed by tbe wild and magnificent scenery, he wandered on from hill to hill, from peak to peak, until be found himself com pletely Jost. His artistio eye was at tracted by a bold, white oliff of rock standing out boldly and sharply against the blue sky. He made a sketch of it and deeided to take a nearor view. On oloser examination it proved to be com posed of a stone with whioh be was quite familiar, and had often had occasion to use in the pursuit of his calling. This stone is only found, so far as known, in the celebrated quarries of Solenhofen in Batavia, not far from Munich. He tested it with his knife and fonud it to have the requisite hardness, of the same color and fineness, in fact a genu ine lithographio stone for which France had offered so large a reward to anyone who would discover a substitute. He at once recognized the value of his find there being but one othor known quarry in the world of this peculiar stone. He oame to the conclusion that though he bad lost himself he had found a'valuablo mine. He selected plcoes of the several varie ties and soon found his way to camp. He came to San Francisco, thoroughly tested the- stone and found it the genuiue artiole, and then roturned to his quirry and located the land in oonformity with the laws of the United States. On his return he brougnt slabs which have been tested by competent men. Both the stone impressions (lithrograpbs) and sketches can be seen at the office of J. A. Robinson, 509 Montgomery street. The writer of this article, thinking it a find of great economio importance, consulted proper authorities and ascertained that the yearly consumption of this stone in San Francisco alone (at fiom seven to sixty cents per pound, the price regulated by the Bize of the slab), was about two thousand dollars, and that tbe Solenho fen quarry produoed annually on an av erage 13,000 cubio yards of lithrographio stone, at a cost of $1,000,000, whioh sells for $10,000,000 Elisee Reclus, oar au thority. The importation and consump tion of the United States for the year 1880 was an average of IV i tons per day. A protective tariff would protect this home industry, should tho find prove of as muoh importance as it appears to be. This quarry is extensive enough to mors than supply the United States and a id another important link to our indus trial resources. Silling Bull's Home. Sitting Bull was visited in his tent re cently by a correspondent of the Cleve land Leader, who says: "Twenty poles anrABi 1 in a circle ot twenty feet diameter. and tied a, the top and covered with can vas, made tne uome or tnu naugnty Sioux.
