C’APTL’ RINO A STILL.
Ttie other night, Major Griilfilewoofl,
who long ago won Ilia spur» as an effi
cient revenue officer, related the follow
ing story:
At one time we had u great deal of
trouble with illieit distillers in Arkan
saw. There was one neighborhood es
pecially where it seemed impossible to
discover tho outlaws. This community
was away up on White river.
Officer
after officer had been sent up, and quite
a number of them are there yet,although
the department did not receive notifica
tion that they intended to leave the eer
vice. One day the news came in that
one of our best men had just bceD killed
at Dripping Springs, by which name
the dangerous neighborhood was known.
1 was sent for by the marshal, who said
“ Major, you have bad considerable
sucogas iu banting for distillers. No
-We want you to find those fellows and
bring them to justice. At you know,
none of our meu have been able to find
them and—”
“ They've been found a trifle too o f
ten, * I suggested.
“ That's n fact,” the marshal agreed,
“ but not by the right man. Now I want
you to take as many soldiers asyou want,
go to the place and break up the busi
ness.”
I reflected for a moment and replied:
“ I think that our mistake has been in
taking too many men. It is almost im
possible for a party of men to And a
wild eat distillery. Their approach is
soon heralded and disuster is certain to
follow . I will go alone and discover the
nest. Then I can return and captaru
the entire outfit.”
“ ltather hazardous," tho marshal said,
thoughtfully scratching his head.
“ Not so dangerous as the course hith
erto adopted.”
“ All right; use your own judgm ent.”
The next day I started on my perilous
expedition. I went horse hack, aud my
progress was very slow. When at last I
reached the place, I found a beautiful,
rich country, with great hills and little
valleys luxuriantly carpeted with grass,
I could see no signs of lawlessness, but
on the other linnd I was kindly treated.
I stopped at the house of a mun named
Anderson, a well-to-do fellow, with some
education and a bright oyed daughter,
who seemed to be devoted to her father.
I saw at once that Anderson was an
honest man, and when I learned that he
had been in the federal army I felt se
cure under his roof. Still I did not cure
to tell him my real business, but in
answer to a question, stated that I was
looking for land in a leisurely sort of
way, having just been discharged from
the regular army and especially desiring
a rest from that dangerous aotiv ty which
all army officers incurred.
“ W ell, sir, you are weloome at my
house, and I hope you 'll find your stay
pleasant. My daughter, who can row a
boat to perfection, will cheorfully con
tribute to your enjoyment.”
“ I understand,” looking at him, “ that
several government officers have been
killed by illieit distillers in this neigh
borhood.”
“ Yes,” he replied; “ shamefully mur
dered. W ell, I won't say murdered, for
tbe distillers no doubt considered it self-
defense. Up in the bills, here, some
where, there is a large distillory, but it
will be a long time, I think, before tbe
government breaks it np. It is almost
impossible to condnot u party of men
through the bills, aud it is almost cer
tain death, for tho distillers can see al
most every tutu. My advice would be
to watch for the whisky that's sent away,
capture the meu handling it aud com pel
them to show the exact location of the
distillery.”
Several days passed and still I made
no progress. I was not regarded in that
light of suspicion which I thought would
characterize my appearance among the
people, and I was soon eon' ¡need that
the farmers around were not in sympa
thy with the distillers. Finally I told
Anderson my business.
“ W ell,” he said. “ If I can do any
thing for you, I'll do it oheerfnlly, but
ledjpe advise you n otio go into the hills.
\Jjatch t ill river, as that" i* the only way
tm-T can possibly ship tbe stuff.
I am
going up the river to day after some
walnut lumber, and if you will accom
pany me we may inako a discovery. As
you have no doubt noticed 1 make a
greet rnauv oeffins. Not for government
officials,” he added, with a smile, “ but
am supplying cheap coffins for the New
Orleans market. D aring an epdemic,
i t is a l m o s t impossible to get coffins to
the city fast enough, and at such times
I
employ quite a number of men.
Come aud I'll show you my place of
business.
Tbe shop stood near the river bank.
Several workmen were em ployed in
dressing walnut lumber. Coffins were
stacked up alt around, and a flat boat
was being loaded with the deathly furni
ture.
I did not go up tbe river with
Anderson, but took a l<oet ride with
bis daughter.
She waa not devoid of
charms an«l she chstted gaily aa she
rowed.
“ I want pa to leave this piece,” she
said.
“ Mother pined away and died
from sheer loneliness, and if I were not
so light hearted,I think I should go that
way too ”
" D o you ever see any o f the illicit dis
tillers?” 1 asked.
“ I ex|>ect I see them, bnt I don't
know them, o f course.
They are terri
ble when they get mod, bnt aa long as
they sra not disturbed yon wouldn t
know that tbey were in the neighbor
hood.
When we moved here they re
garded pa with lingering suspicion, but
finally, satisfied that he waa in no way
connected with the government, they
dismissed their up rehensions sod have
ever s in c e treated him with tbe utmost
conrtesv. I’ * is making money oa t of
the Coffiu b u s in e s s , bat it is sneli e grim
trade th d I cannot half enjoy any finan
cial benefit tbat we derive from it. Hay,
you're banting for the wild cate, ain't
you ?”
“ Hash, don't talk so lou d ."
“ Nobodv can hear ns, bnt you are,
ain't you?"
“ Hnppose I were, d o you think I
would tell anybody?"
“ I beard you tell father, but it's all
right. I won’t say anything about it.
I haven't any friends among the wild
eats, and for my part I wouldn’t care if
they were all iu prison.”
“ I remained several days longer, and
then deoided to return to the city, report
unfavorably, adopt other measures, und
'n take up tho enterprise. Anderson
aed me to sell the horse and go down
with a flat boat load of coffins. I did
not like the idea, but reflecting that it
would be safer, I disposed of my horse,
and was soon ready for the voyage.
I bade my friends an affectionate fare
well, and stood on a coffin big enough
for the Cardiff giant, and waved my
handkerchief at Sophia Anderson as the
boat rounded the bend. We had started
early, and by the time the shadows be
gan to lengthen, we were a long distance
from Dripping SpriDg. It seemed to
me that the men on the boat watched
me curiossly, for every time I walked
around it appeared that one of them tol
lowed me. My suspicions increased as
evening came on, and when I saw the
meu engaged in a whispered converse
tion, I waa convinced that violence was
meditated. Happening to notice a c o f
fin on which several others were piled,
I saw something dripping from it. Just
then I looked up and saw a gun leveled
at me.
In another instaut a bullet
whizzed olose to my head, so close that
1 fell backward into the water. I did
not lose my presence of mind and kept
myself under water as long as possible.
When I arose to the surface, several
other shots were fired, aud siuking again
I remained under water until I reached
the shore, which fortunately was not far
away, when I arose under a thick clump
of willows. Through the gathering dark
ness I could dim ly ree the men, nnd
could hear the splashing of an o*r which
[ knew waa manipulated to keep tbe
boat from floating down.
“ I reokiu' he's all right," said ono of
the meu.
“ I kuow he is,” a gruff voice replied,
* fer I drawed a bead on his bead, uu' a
man what kin hit a hatl'cr dollar sixty
yards ain't no slouch of a shooter, lemma
tell yer. liet he’s got a bullet through
hia brain, ef lie's got any brain.”
“ I ’d rather bet on the bullet than the
brain," the first speaker rejoined.
“ W e’ve got to be certain about these
things," said a man who seemed to be in
authority. “ You know what Anderson's
orders is. Git a boat thar, Jack, an' you
an’ Tom paddle out thar awhile. Go
out thar to them willows.”
The boat was lowered and the splash
ing of the oars Game nearer and nearer.
My heart beat violently. Greut God,
the moon came out and shone lull on my
face. I eased mvaelf down nntil only
the tip of my nose was above the sur
face. “ Thank heaven,” I breathed as a
cloud obscured the moon just as the
boat brushed the willows. They struck
uuder with the oars, actually struck me
once, and just aB I was about to seize
the boat and tuke my chanceB of turning
it over and escaping, one of them said :
“ He’s all right, I tell you. Think I
can't hit a man's head? Bliove her off,”
and I breathed a prayer as the tip of the
oars grew fainter.
I remained in that uncomfortable po
sition about a half hour longer, then
drew myself out aud was soon traveling
through the woods.
After a terrible
journey of hunger and fatigue I reached
Little Rock and made my report.
Several days afterward I was again en
route for D ripping Spring, this time
with a strong posse of men. Touching
White river near the place where I had
fallen overboard, we dismounted to rest.
We had not been there very long until
we saw the coffin boat returning. I se
creted myself and ordered my men to
oompel the boat to land and to bring tbe
men to our resting place, instructing
them as to a form of into rogation.
When liailod they readily complied
and approached the bank. They did not
seem to like so much attention, for they
did not move up the bank with any great
degree of alacrity.
“ D o you know,” said one of the men,
“ what became of au United States o f
ficial named G nddlew ood, who came up
here some time ago?”
“ No, sir,” replied the captain of the
coffin boat; “ bnt I heard he had bought
a piece o ' land over the mountains an'
has opened a farm.”
“ D id you ever meet him?"
“ Believe I did meet him once at Mr.
Anderson’s house. ‘Peered to me like
he was sorter in love with the Anderson
gal.”
“ D on ’ t snppose that I could find him,
do you?”
“ Mont find him if you wnster go over
the hills."
“ That’s unnecessary,” I remarked,
stepping from behind a tree and con
fronting the villains. They threw up
their hands and prayed that their lives
might be spared. We did not intend to
give them the least chanoe ef escape and
securely pinioning their hands, we took
them down to the boat, where, after gain
ing all possible information, I left them
nnder a strong gnard. W o were not
long iD gaining the neighborhood of A n
derson's residence. It was a late hour
at light, and we snrronnded the honse
wi hont alarming anyone. I instructed
one of my offioers to call Anderson, and
again I secreted myself.
“ H alloa!’’
“ A ll right,” came irom within the
house, and piwtty soon Anderson ap
peared.
'M r. And*.-son, I believe,” said the
officer.'
“ Yes. sir; won’t yon come itJJ’
“ No,"hardly got the time. I r e come
to thiti-lieigjiborhood ia search of Major
Griddlewuod. Are yon acquainted with
him?"
Oh, yes, ahonld say I am, for he and
my danghter are to he married soon. I ’ll
show her to yon. Here, Soph,” and the
girl came oat. “ Here is a gentleman
who is looking for yonr intended hus
band."
‘ Good evening, sir. Looking for tbe
major, eh? How I wish I could see
him.”
Here I am,” I said, emerging from
my hiding place, and confronting my
intended” and her father. Anderson
actna'ly fell on the ground and hia
daughter uttered a shriek that made the
woods ring. They were soon made pris
oners and takeD to the boat. Next day
tbe distillery was easily found and de
atroyed. Tbe coffins were found to be
lined with tin, and although ominous
looking casks, were not hod as vessels of
shipment.
The prisoners were tried and punished
to tbe fall extent o f the law, and ever
since then, the Dripping Spring neigh
borhood has been one of the most order
ly and law abiding communities in the
state.
X
Overcrowdlnx and Crime in Paris.
Overcrowding, however, has
now
rescued inch a point tbat serions uneasi
ness is beginning to be felt by the mu
nicipal conncil of Peris. The communal
insurrection of 1871 proved that the peo
pie of Paris had not grown less revolu
tionary beesnse they lived in better look
ing honses; and. indeed, the embellish
ments of the city had, aa already shown,
simply altered the conditions of tbe
working man's life without improving
them. Oue of the emperor’s ideas was
that by erecting fine streets everywhere
he might disintegrate tbe |>opalar mass.
Instead of clustering together by thou
sands, workmen wonld be spread over
all parts of tha city, and those of them
who became tenants of sixth floor rooms
in hom es the lower flats of which
occupied by bourgeois lodgers wonld, as
ha calculated, be refined by tbe influ
ence of tbeee respectable aliodes. This
wan only a dream. Tha increase of pop-
nlmlion baa can sad whole districts to be-
come once again "quartiers ouvrieri,
and in these the almost entire ex
tinction of home life has had the
most demoralizing results. Children
being sent away, the home has no "rai
son d'etre,” uuil marriages sre becoming
rarer and rarer. Tho Parisian workman
lives mostly out of doors and in wine
shops. He does not carry his dinner to
his work, bnt lakes bis meals in an “ es-
taintnet;” and as a rule bis eveniDgs are
spent iu a cafe. What instruction in
morals lie gets is derived from the thea
ter and from newspapers— tho spiritual
agencies which countless churches, tem
perance societies and other religions
bodies bring to lies* on the poor of Lon
don there ia little to be seen in Paris.
The city bat sixty CatholA churches aud
perhaps thirty chapels of other denomi
nations, so that one place of woiship
might be reckoned for abont every 20,-
000 inhabitants; and to all appearauce
even this is more thuu the propio desire.
The national habit of thrift may be fairly
counted among the elements which oper
ate for good on workmen; but in respect
of thrift tbe Parisians may be compared
to ants who are preyed upon by ant-
eaters.
They save, but innumerable
tiuancial companies are on the lookout
to catch their savings. “ Changeurs,”
who are tbe popular bankers, abound in
every quarter, and more than twenty fin
ancial journals, which profess to act as
guides to investors, are published duily.
But every week the disappearance of
some ohangour and the collapse of some
company is reported, und after every
such event it turnicut. that hundredsof
workmen and servants have been pinch
ing themselves for years simply to teed
u gang of swindlers. Under the influ
ence of all these causes, overcrowding,
childlessuess, immorality, irreligious
ness, and financial robberies, crime lias
developed to such an exteut in Puris
that the most drastic legislation has had
to be proposed. It is computed that
after the overthrow of the commune
about 20,000 of the most reckless char
acters in Paris wore got rid c f by shoot
ing nr transportation; but, notwithstand
ing this greut putge, M. Gambetta laid
to declare, less than ten years afterward,
that the criminal classes formed au
“ army o f desperadoes ready to tho hand
of any political adventurer." Last year
tbe chumber of deputies passed a bill
(wliieli lias uot yet been voted by the
sensta) for sentencing to transportation
for life all felons twice convioted; but
even the heavy menace o f this act has
had no deterrent effect, for only a few
days ago U m Parisian papers reported
that regular battues of criminals were
being conducted in tbe suburbs, whole
companies of gendarmes and policemen
being sent ont against them with fire
arms.—London Times.
Old Dutch Corporations.
Everything was managed in Amster
dam by corporations. The idea of tbe
saoredness of corporate rights ami privi
leges wus firmly planted in tbe Dutch
mind.
These nnmerous bodies were
virtually self-elected.
Au oligarchy
ruled in each department. The churac-
ter of their government is seeu iu the
way the Bast India company managed
their possessions in the eastern archi
pelago. T o secure the monopoly of the
spice trade they caused all the clove
trees to be extirpated except in Am-
boyna, tbe seat of their power, bribing
the surrounding princes to enter into
league with them to destroy their sub
jects’ property. At oue time tbey gained
tbe exclusive command of tbe pepper
trado. Pepper was immediately raised to
8s a pound, 100 per cent, higher than
the Portuguese prices. It is supposed
that they made a profit of 3800 per cent,
on this article alono. English settlers
did not Bcruple to declare that in 1022
Dutch
authorities at Amboyna, in
their terror
lest
foreign intrigue
should
oust them
out
of
the
nest they were robbing, practiced tor
tures worthy of Phillip II and Alva. To
prevent any criticism from tho jealousy
of the other Dutch ports, the East India
company distribnted the stock among
the principal towns of tho united prov
inces, in each of which was a hand
somely paid board of directors, possess
ing a share of patronage proportioned to
tbo stock they held. Amsterdam kept
tbe supreme direction, for out of these
suDordiDate chambers a board of 17 di
rectors were ohosen, who met for six
years at Amsterdam and two at Middle-
burg. Thus all tbe leading capitalists
of Holland were directly concerned in
the company's affairs.
Instead of en -
riobing their own country and tbe Asi
atic world by opening up a great oriental
trado, tho Dutch F.ist India company
thought only of getting the highest pos
sible prices by tbe exclusion o f all com
petition. Their immense warehouses at
Amsterdam, their imposing name, and
the mystery ever attached to the east,
led to an exaggerated idea of their im
portance. They worked u trade that
that could
easily have employed
several
millions
with a capital
ol £542,000. In the most prosperous
days, from 1G14 to 1730, the number of
their ships arriving from India in the
coarse of the year did not average more
than fourteen. This stylo of doing trade
explains the excessively heavy dues that
the Amsterdam authorities imposed on
every article of traffic. It is asserted
that many things paid duty three or four
times over. Bread was taxed when the
corn came from the m ill, and again when
the loaves eame from tbe oven. There
were taxes on butter, fish and fruit,
while the duties levied on meat,salt,beer,
wine and spirits wero as high as 100 per
cent; in fact, there wasaoarcely anything
that escaped taxation, except tbat which
depleted the country of its capital- the
speculations of its merchants iu the pub
lic funds of other nations. For, owing
to tbe accumulation of capital and the
way taxation ate np the profits, the A m
sterdam merchants pnt the greater part
of their surplus capital into foreign
stocks. In fact, the difficulty of flodiug
an advantageous return for money in
Holland was so great that its capitalists
preferred to lend vast sums of money to
individuals in foreign countries, both
regularly as loaus at interest, and in the
shape of goods advanced at long credit.

The year in which she obtained ber

to go to the continent of their forefath

between Guinea and the southern states
was surreptitiously, but with much en
ergy, carried on. The abolitionists of
tbe north hail commenced to be active,
and even in Baltimore a.newspaper was
started called Tlie Genius of Uuiveraal
Emancipation. It was short lived, how
ever, as might have been expected in
that quarter. In Boston even, at tbat
date, it would have been dangerous to
establish a journal of the kind. Tbe su

a hundred years ago that the “ equal"
