. THE CHICAGO DATLY TRIBUNE: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1872 5 THE STUDIOS. No Flace Like Home for Chi- cag0 Artis’s. The Wanderers Returning and Re= suming Their Places. A Visit to the Studios---Some of the New Productions. There's 0o place like home, though that home be the burnt district, and though the members of the family be scattered to the four winds of | hesven. Be it never eo homely, and be the pros- pects never so gloomy, Chicago offers to Ler 5008 & welcome which no other city can give them. So well testify tho artists whose studios “were 80 remorsefully devoured, and whose works of art were not respected by the fiery tonguos which spared neither sand-stone mor canvas, pallette nor shenty. Their experionce wos mot & cheerfal one, mnor one calculated to ing ire them with that cosmopoli~ tan indifference to their locality which true artists should always be made tofeel. Chicago, ayearago, was no placo for the limners and sculptors, for the patrons of art were prostrated in pocket, and the love of besuty was of no im- : portance compered with domestic needs. With their studios reduced to ashes, . their materials goue, their patrons shivering for the bare necos- gities of existence, the poor artists found .that - Chicago was no place for s2xt, sid no home for them. They sew nn hope of subsistence here, and emigrated. Our sister cities were willing, even anxions to do all they could for the sufferers by thefireon the grounds - of 2 common humsanity, but while whole-hearted =nd generous, many of them were unapprecia- tive of art. Thus the artists who tried Cincin- nati, St. Louis, Baltimore, and Boston, fo:ad thomsclves isolsted, their talents undis- covered, their ~ labors _ unrewarded. * Many of them were driven hence without a dollar, and these poor fellows were in sofry plight. Conservative St. Louis had her.own Traternity of artists, and those who were forced to seek in that city a bare subsistence, soon dis- covered that they were regarded as intorlopers, . and that their genius, if they had any, were not . of an order to find sympathy with the lovers of . the beautiful in the capital of Missouri. There tried their fortuues .'were several who “there, but mob ome found & word or san order. to encomrsge them. They believed in Chicago, were of Chicago, longed for Chicago, as the Jews for Jerusalem restored, and were unscceptsble. The same ‘spirit was evinced 1n the other cities, and one by one they drifted back again to the city of their < adoption. Their welcome here was warm, « warmer even than their fiery dismisgal. One or two of thom returned to find an impromptu ovstion eweiting them. One artist, = portrait painter, who had passed 8 dresry winter in St Louis, ob- tained half a dozen orders within three days . after his return. _Others met with erfln% suc- coss. All concluded that ¢ they would no longer Toam,” for here, if anywhere, they were known, and here, if anywhers, their efforts wonld meet o . _The it om of recovery in tho tasts for et was obsorvable. in ‘the effort made by the members of the of _ Desis to re-establish institation. A meeting of the artists composing it was held last Thurs- day, sod = new impetus given to the work by the determination of the members to base it in the future, not mpon_ the smbitions of & few, but upon the material wealth and reputa- tion of the city, To this end they determined to olect & Board of Trastees, composed of citi~ Zzens distinguished for their Wrealth, their public spirit and their integrity, who _should control the finances of the institution, and whose: _social should bs 8 guarantee of the standing of the Academy. The Trustecs were elected npon certain condi- - tions. They were to be chosen from among those who believed that Art was more than a genersl term, and that its beauties were not Tnere day dreams. They were to be men who Tecognized the msthetic element in men and so- ciety, and were anxious to encourage its development. They were to contributa to the finances of the Academy, and, by their: influence, to encourage others to #’go and dolikewise.” eir nemes were to state to the public that the Acodemy was a thing of reality, for the en- couragement of art, and not for the emolument of adventurers, and that such eubstantial assist- ance s might be rendered would go towerd the |. development of such ®sthetic taste as the city E‘ossessed. The Academ{vchoss the following rastees: George C. Walker, W. E. Dog- ett, .S. M. Nickerson, Potter Palmer, W. B “tfovard, N. K. Fairbank, Mark Skinner, Frenllin McVeagh, Henry W. King, and L. Z. Lei The election of these gentlemen was & fair indication that the members of the Acade- my meant business, and _there is little doubt that most of the Board, if not all, will gladly sccept the position and contribute toward the fostering of art in Chicago, They have not beeg, heard from yet, and their acceptance or declina~ tion is yet a matter of doubt. Until it is finally determined, no farther steps can be taken by the Academy. As a rule, the artists are not very b The stringency of the money market at present af- fects them 28 well as every one else, but they are all doing something, and many of them with renewed yigor and promise of good work in the future. . ‘Among the most important productions of the studio, may be mentioned a painting by Elkins, of Shesta Bute, & picturesque piece of Califor- nis_scenery. ~The painting i of largo size, and the subject one calculated to awake the ge- nius of theartist. He haschosen to paint the acene in the varied light of s Californis after- noon, in the upland distriets, thus giving him an opportunity to introduce the striking, almost vivid, light effects _observable in mountainous regions, ~and eepecially siriking in the pure at- mosphere of California. The result is eminently dramatic. The sun is hidden from the eye by a bank of clouds, but the full glare is thrown upon the peak of the mountain, the range of bills beyond Iying in deep shadow. Tho base of the mountain i8 enveloped in s mysterious gloom, while the valley in the foreground is rich £ tho colors of Californis landscape. There is no life visible in the vast field before the eye, bat & solitary column of smoke of the most deli- cate blue, e heve some Inditn camp fire has heen lighted. Near the bank of the stream a solitary Indian has drawn -his canoe up under a rock, end- is. peacefally sleeping. Beyond these suggestions of human presence, thers is hothing. ~A perfoct stillness pervades every- Aere. This picture has engroased Mr. Elking' hours for more than & ear, and is scarcely com- plete yet. A few touches are needed to perfect &, but those who have seen it have expressed o high sdmiration of it. It differs materially FeE T any of this artist’s productions heretofore, and msy be regarded as the best thinghe has ag tetcreated.

Tho srtist’s bistory le » Tomantic ono. A poor Norwegian shepherd boy, he evinced af an early age & penchant for painting, and a brilliancy of creative power that struck patron of penniless printers, who recognized in the untutored farm and the true artist. He procured for his protege the best teachors, and for three yenrs paid for his tuition. The lad studied hard, and rapidly developed his genius, winning from his master the highest commendation. He was studying might and main, and with feverish anxiety, when an obstacle o his future progress appeared in theform of the milit reguh%irons of his country. To serve as s soldier for five years was a blow at all his future hopes. To av0id it ho oxpatriated himself, and came to the United States threo ygars ago. = Ho was strug- gling for recognitiort when tho fire came, &ma owed all he had, and drove him to St. Louis.

The calm fostures, destitute of color, the exquisito self-containment in the face cannot but hold one. Thoso who were 5o fortu= nate as to know the original, recognize at _onca in this the portrait of the wifo of Rev. R. Laird Collier—the best souvenir of that amiabie lady thit remains oxcepting tho momory which Lier deeds have left in the hearts of those who knew hor. The original painting was exccuted py the artist from an indifferent photograph of . . Col- lier, and from his recolloction of her face, It was painted for tho chapel of the new Church of the Messiah, of which mention hes beon meads in Tre Tamoxe. The copy, which can be told from tho original only by cortain marks inten~ tionally added by the arist, is intended for Mrs. not yet com- menced, is for Mr. Collier. Portraits of Philo Carpenter and his deceased wifo, the former from life, and the latter from a photograph, are also strong likenesses and strong faces. ~ Copies almost without number are ordered. Phillips is also engaged upon s life-size paint- ing of Beotland's paron saint for the St. An- drew’s Society, & subject which the artist has worked on with infinite labor. The martyred sa.intmimfiled upon the traditional disgonal cross. o artist hes discarded the conventional planed * boards and sub- stituted rough ‘branches. The clmpegl is that prescribed by the order, and gives the artist little opportuxity to indulge the picturesquo or gracetal. Thoatiitud, hovever, eaves littlo t0.be desired, while the face, the artist’s principal study, is strong and character- istic. An old man, fully 70 years of sge, St. Andrew’s face is adorned with a full grey %eud. The countenance expresses & peaceful resigna- tion to suffering, and a piefy almost divine. With his right hand_he exhorts his followers to steadfastness in the faith, and conrage in perse- cution.” In the background the artist has endeavored to ideslize the Cdawn of hristianity, by & daybreak of unusual splendor. The paint- ing is noarly. finished, and will -be ready for the new hall in & few daya. Conkey, the sculptor,is busy with orders. Sculpture isnot as profilable as painting now-a- days in Chicago, but the time is coming shortly when art will Tegain the position it held befora the fire, and sculptors and painters alike will find their hands full. A pretty littlo bust of May Stark, 5 dsughter of James L. Stark, or- dered befare the fro, and neuly nisied only to Do destroyed, is the fculptor’s latest work. - The likeness is said to be good. A happy conceit is the finishing of the bust in & festoon of May flowers in full bloom, An_equially pretty picce of work is a bust of Eddie Blatchford, wall exe- cated. Pebbles and Pickering, on the West Side, are Lept fairly busy painting portraits. The former has a portrait ot Mra. Jamos Walsh deserving of notics, and Pickering seversl poriraits yot lack- ing the finishing touches. Other artists will re- ceive notice on future occasions. ‘THE FARM AND GARDEN. The Price of Farm Products, and.the JMoney Market—The Remedy that Some Wise Ones Propose — What We May Beasonably Expect — The Tenw= ant System, From Qur Agricultural Correspondent. CHAMPATGY, TIL, Nov, 23, 1872, The low price of farm-products continues to atiract attention, not only among farmers, but 2l classes of business; for it reachesthe pockets of all. The reason for this is the broad fact that the rural population, having & preponderance of numbers, make up the largest number of con- sumers of the products of the so-called ekilled industries; and, when their zesomrces are cut off, or even crippled, the effect is soon made appsrent in all other departments of business. Graduslly the present trouble will ‘disappear, though, no doubt in its course, it will bring some important changa with it. Whenever maney becomes tight, as at present, it is from the same cause. In the year 62-'3, we had the same srtingency, ““10 cent corn and 3 cent pork.” The low price of farm pro- ducts put it ont of the power of the rural popu- lation to make their usual purchases, and money did not return from the country, but was hoard- ed by those who had the power to hoard it, while the small smount received went to pay for ab- solute needs, the pasmentof old debts and taxes. Not that thers is less money to-day than six months ag0, but it has' ceased its msual rapid flow- Itisthe difference between the man who han- dles his cash half-s-dozen times a year and the man who handles it but once. Let us see how thisis: A has $2,000, and starts in trade in gro- ceried. Ho sells for resdy pay, either in cash or farm-produce, and thus turns his 52,000 over once & month, * He is ensbled to buy for ready pay, and buys_ cheap; not only that, but is able at all times £o keep up his stock o its maximum. He thus handles his capital twelve times a year, or an aggrogate of £24,000. B, at the same time, makes a purchase of $24,000, and sells on credit. At the end of six months his stock becomes broken, for the réason that be could not_exactly foresee the actusl demand for a varied stock of goods, and hé has miany unsal- ble goods on hand, with many elow, if not bank- rupt debtors. At best, he has turned his capital but onée, and is an old fogy beside A, Tho, Wwith one-twelfth 85 much rosdy cash, has dona the'sameé amount of business, It is thus that active business makes money plenty. . We see the same thing verified with 6 small farmer who pursues s mixed husbandry of farm, orcham ) ga:lgaé:g r q(if;ai for he alwiyshag somethipg to'sell, $6 meat his curré enses, Like the small, prompt business mun,“iwho is careful to keep only such goods as are in de- mand and command s ready sale, he grows such products as are required in their season, and to the extent that & prudent fars,moug).\t Ty sug- est, This class of men make ljttle complaint in vegard tq hard times, for they are i the habit of paying as they go, and do not like to run in debt. On the otber hend; the farmer who grows the eat staples that find & market aonually or semi-annually, aro in the habit of anticipating their incomes,” or what 18 called running an account af tho stores, When they cometo the day of sottlement, they find these bills have grown much beyond their antici- pation, and, if their crop is short or prices loy, they are placed in an unpleasant position ; byt it is' simply overtrading ar ovoriawing o como, cnd bgrd times re:: the' result, It is no mors'then oceurs to all ofher.people who over-. draw their income; Jbut asit occurs at the eame time to 5o large & class of our people, it must of necessity affect those swhose interestis so clogely allied to this one of the cultivators of the soil. The remedy for this condition of things con- not be applied in a day or &_month, but must - selves, -we make it work ? . and see_how Boon the; ening up of credits is gradually doin; od, and, when we have reached the eash basts, hase fluctustions will have little effect onusor the country. However low the prices of farm- products may be, unless there isan nnusually small crog we shall be able to get along quite comfortably ; but to_pay debts with corn ab 20 cents, when we have made our estimate at 40 cents, and ran_ in debt accordingly, is ‘not so easily arranged. When the farmer gets behind, or thinks he needs more capital, he is too apt to make forced Jouns of his grocer, his dry-goods merchant, the implement-dealer, and others of whom he makes his purchases. Now, this is wrong, 08 is shown af this time, If the farmer can pay cash for all that' ho purchases, at the time, he will not be liable to get more than he needs. He maydo without many things to which he may have been ambt tomed, “but this is better than to run into lebt. £ The usual remedy for hard times is to shorten up our expenses, and this wa arc ensbled to do; for, in good times the most of us live rather fast. ‘Wo wear out our old clothes, use the old cook- stove, scourup the old plow, and repair the old wagon ; but, if we keep out of debt, and buy for cash, wo may save atileast 20 per cent of our present ontgoes. This is one of the first points 10 be considered, and cannot fail of laying the foundation of success. ‘‘But,” saysone, ‘“ what shall we do to get out of debf, and to compel the world to pay us the smo rate for the pro- ducts of our labor as that we pay for the labor of others?” By forming & ring, as among tho trades,” say several of our wiseacres in the agricultaral journals. “ Lot us form aring, and not sell our products at less than the old prices, or corresponding to the prices of iron, leather, ber and similar goods.”. That is all very fair and just, mot omly to our- but to all - others. But _ can Of course we can. Don’t we hold more pork than Young & Co. ; and have we not more whent and corn than ail the grain dealers combined ? Just let us sell to thema few million dollars' worth of our staples long, will find themeelves short. Let our ring swallow up all other rings and break them, and then we may hove things our own way. Let us refuse the railroads & bushel of grain, & car-load of hogs or cattle, and stay at home ourselves. That will bring them toferms, for thetr rolling-stock will then be idle. In short, this ring of thoe farmers can be made to diotate terms to all other dopartments of trade. If - the e fights us, we can stop the paper and starve the editors,—not as in former times, when wo took the papers on tick and did pay for them, but by refusing to pay for them in edvance; that will'do the business.” Thisis the line of ary ent dealt out hy many of our farmers, and is their remedy for tho present tightness in the money market, and the conse- quent low prices of farm-crops. If welook back & few years, we will seo that wo have passed over worse times than these, before the time of railronds, telegraphs, and mammoth commercial newspapers. But how shell we form the ring ? is the first question that comes up for solution. Debts must be paid as far as possible. Even with = the low prico of com, taxes must be paid, for they are a lienupon our homestesds; now dresses must be had, for the new baby, and new ones for the change of seasons that demands warmer clothing; in short, we cannot suspend our real necds, though we'may dispense with many luxuries. It is therefore ‘impossible to form a ring that will compel the world to buy our products at our ‘prices. Wo ought not to complain that the 'soil has yielded us those besutiful crops, for our own skill has had something to do with it; but we should be thankful that such is the case, for it gives millions of pezéple what they“do not alwayas get: chesp food; and in time we shall have our recompense. This low price of farm products, and the ad- rates for manufactured goods and wages ed labor, must, in & short time, change position, and we may hope to ece them approxi- ‘mating each other in tho course of s few years, for arevolution must come to change the pres- ent rings of labor and of trade. Farming pays so poorly that there is no en- couragement at present to enlarge its extent; but there is a disposition to curtail operations; and this will of itself increase the price of many articles now below she real cost of production. Then we .must reorganize our operations, for the want of help in the kitchon and the labor on the farm. The fact is, wo_have no help in the kitchen, beyond what the wife and daughtera cando; and it is, therefore, almost impossible to board farm_ hands. And this, if continued, must lead to the F TENANT-HOUSE SYSTEM of providing farm labor. ‘The cities and villages invite the laborer.to them, for there they find homes. For this reason many branches of farm- ing pey better near our villages, whero land is at 8 high fignre, than at a distance, where it is_comparatively cheap. Broom-corn, hops, emell fruits, and garden crops will only make good rofurns in the vicinity of this class of labor,—that is, laborers who board them- selves,—and it is only thero that & supply of res- sonsably good laborers may be had. Now, if we sro to continuo farming on the present rate of inczease, we must needs build tenant-houses on the farms, in order_to’ draw this kind of labor from the village. It is a question for ench farm- er who employa hired help to solve for himself : ‘Will he build " tenant-houses for his hands; or will he tarn his farm to pasturage and meadow, in order to bring the work within the limits that will suffice for his own labor ? TFarming, like all other departments of busi- ness, must be brought to the paying test, and a farm is only worth 2s an investment what it will ey 23 an income on that investment. Inorderto get out of the present difficulty, we have to shorten our expenses, At the samo time, it is not fair to ask others to givo us credit when we demand cash for our own goods. Lt a butcher ask us for six months' credit on that fat cow, the pork-packer for our Logs, the grain dealer for our corn, and we would stare at them, Then what claim have we on others for a credit? The men who offer us long credits do 80 at a iarge profit—that is, in helping us they doubly Delp themselves, RunaL. SN Al Effect of the Hiss on Actors. High and low, from Garrick to ‘ the super,” it is probably the actor's doom, for more or less reasons, ab some time or another, to be hissed.. He is, as members of Parhament are fond of saying, “in the hands of the House,” and may .be ill-considered by it, Any one can hiss, and one goose makes many, Lamb relates how he once saw Elliston, sitting in state in the tarnished green-room of the Olympic Theatre, while befare him was bronght for judgment, on complaint of promp- ter, “‘one of those little tawdry things-that flirt at {he tails of ghoruses—the pertest little drab —a dirty fringe and appendage of the lamps smoke—who, 1t seems, on gome disapprobation expressed bya ‘highl{lrespectn.ble' audience, had precipitately quitted her station on. the boards and withdrawn her small talents in disgust. ‘And lLow dare you’ said tho manager, “howdare you, madam, without n notice, withs draw yourself from your theatrical duties?” I was hisged, sir.” *“And yon Lave the presump- tion to decide upon the taste of the town ?” I don’t know that, sir, but I will nover stand to bo hissed,” was the rejoinder of Young Confidence. Then, gathering up his features into one signi. fieant maas of wonder, pity, and expostulatory indignation,—in & 'lesson never to have been lost’ upon a cresturs' less for- werd than she who stood boefore him,—his words were these: .‘They have hissed as!’ " Itis understood that this argument failed in its effect, for afterall, a hiss_isnot to be in such wise exqused or explained away; its appli- cation is far foo direct and. personal,’ Ludios ‘and gentlemen, if was not T that sliof the ar- Yow,” eaid Brabem to his am gacé, when somo bungiing cccued n o "per: formance of “ Williem Tell,” and the famous B{p}e remained uninjured upon the head of the hero's son.

Union, One of the most cold-blooded and fiendish attompts at murder that has occurred in this ‘vicinity for o long time took place at Westfield, sbout eleven o'clock on Wednesdsy night. The history of the case is_as follows: Somo thres aIs 820 o man named Albert Smith appeared in Westficld, and obtained employment from Alonzo Whitney, the well-known tobacco dealer, to take care of horses, He remained there about a year, during which time his conduct was anything but good, and he was finally discharged. Whilo working there he took Mr. Whitney's double team out for a drive, one night, withont the owner's knowledge, and allowed it to run away and smash the vehicle. He covered up the affair by falsehood for o long time, and only owned up when finally cornered. After leaving Mr. Whitney's em he_went t0 work for the Boston & Alban: ond s switchman in the Wostfield fl?oi yord, and while thus engaged became noted for his violent and desperate dis- position. About & year ago. Lesnder B. Bates, a car- penter of Southampton, moved to Westfield and purchased a residence near the west end of Po- chagsic street, in a neat brick house with large and spacious grounds. This dwelling was but a few rods of and overlooked the railroad where Smith was emploi"ed. The latter h: oceasion to go .up to the house daily for water, and on other errands, feigned or necessary, an %nickly fastened his eyes upon Miss Jennie ates, & -daughter of the ‘carpenter and a very s;xaltty and prepossessing brunotte. His visits ily became more frequent than agreeable, and knowing 8mith's bad reputation Jennie's friends forbade his coming there. From that moment the villain swore to be. revenged, and how well he kept his word has been fearfully illustrated. Soon sfter he had been told to keep away, Miss Jonuls, on golug into s piatry, glanced upward snd saw Smith looking at her ferociomsly through a window. She informed her friends that he was there, and he fled before they conld get out of doors to' catch him, although they saw Lim running away. If she Went into s nelghbor's house in the evening, Lo was sure to dog her steps, and it was consid- erod unsafe for her to go out without escort, and even this did not always protect hor from insult. Smith circulated atories derogatory to her char- acter, one of which wasto the effect that she had been in New Haven with him and staid two or three days. He openly threatened to shoot hor and any one who kept company with her, and also, burn her father's buildings. He was gen- erally believed to be what is vuigarly called & ““big blow,” and no one really thought he would dare to carry such threats into execution. On several ocessions he has bossted sbout hiding under the pirzza of the house where Mies Bates lives, and listening to her conversation with her gentleman friends and would state pore tions of it. About two weeks ago Mr. Bates heard a noise in the night, as of some one tryinfi to gam an entrance to the house. He proceade: to the spot whore the sounds were heard, and saw Smith on n]ml(é;r withdn lanternin his hand, trying to pry open the window oponing into his Siuphtar humhor, . Smite $unped tom e top of theladder to the ground on finding he was discovered, and ran sy, ‘Among tho well-known and prominent citizens of Westtield is Charles Sackett, a bachelor, about 40 yoars old, and owning & fine_ residence on Uiion street. gentleman has_for some time been paying his addresses to Misa Bates, and seems to have been the subject of Smith’s articular spite, the latter often stepping up to Bl the saost violant mancer s using the most_abusive and threatening lsngusge. Ho bas ulso frequently wandored wildly about Ar. Bates’ house in the day time, firing" & pistol into the air, and glaring savagely at the house, with 8 view to terrifying the inmates. Meoting Mr. Sackett in the street one day, he pulled off hia coat, and swoe he could whip any man in Weat- field Mr. Sackett, who, by the way, is & power- ful man, paid little attention to him, and he Wwent away. On Saturday of last week, Miss Bates was at the house of & relative in Northampton, During the evening the door-bell rang and the owner of the house, on going to answer the summons, w8 confronted by Bmith, who inquiredif Miss Bates +as there, Being told she was, Lie asked to see her, ssying, 1 only want to speak with her & moment—just & single moment.” The lady declined to see him, and he went away, mutter- ing. Gn Weanesday evening, M. Sackett called st tho residence of Diss Bates, to escort her to Music Hall, where Amy Stone's Dramatic Tronpe wasto play. The young lady said sho feared to. 80, on account of the threats Smith had made to shoot her, and she was afraid ho_would® watch and waylay them. Of course her fears were laughed at, and she went. On_ their way home, about 11 o'clock, they caught sight of Smith fol- lowing them over tho foot bridge which crosses the track of the New Haven and Northampton Railrosd, at Pochassic street. Thoy kept quictly along, however, directly through the streot, while Smith ran rapidly around Parker avenuo to the rear of the grounds about the res- idenco of Henry Atkins, to which he obtained ingress by leaping over tho fence. Passing awiftly along tho fiagging walk on the east sids of Mr. Atkin's house, he found himself at Pochassic street, along which his victims wero walking toward him. He was concoaled from their view by the shrubbery of the yard, ond, trying one_gate without success, he opened another snd stood on the sidewalk squarely in front of the two persons whom he intended to murder, “Now you——, I've got you!” he shouted to Sackett, and fired & small sized Smith & Wesson rovolver without effect, Mr. Sackett jumped for him, but was pushed awn; by Stnith, who cried, *¢Stand back, d—n you!” and_shot him squarely in the left breast, near tho heart, the ball passing tipward and glincing from a ‘rib. A third shot struc Miss Bates under. the left eyo, passed half way around the skull, and came out at the back of herhoad. Bhe soreamed and threw up her right band to protect her face, and the fourth shot struck her between the middlo fingers, whero the ball still remains, The villain fire three more shots, emptying the contents of his revalver, but none of them taok effact. A short distance in front of Smith, when he fired, was & youngman named George Fox, who Doarded at Mr, Bates's house, and was alsa on his way home from the thegtra, ~Hearing tha shots, Bo_ ran pack with single-barrollod pistol in bis hand, just as Smith started torun_away. The young men chased him down a bank to & railroad track, and fired st him, unfortunately withous success, He then wont back to sid his wounded friends, who were barely able to walk tu the house, where they were attended by Dr. James Holland and Dr. Clark, who examined the wounds and prononnced them serious, though not necessarily dangerous, unless the nervous shock should prove greater than it appeared. Aq Smith ran away, ho met James Parker, son of the Station Agent, at the depot, who Baid “YYhat have yor_been doing—peppering ’em ;' © Yeg, T have by G—d, and I have fixed the —— of & —," was tho reply. Smith walked quiotly along the platform at the depot, met & man near the railrond crossing, at Eim street,” passed & fow words of' ordinary conversation, and pro- c¢eeded ori foot to the house of a man named Jonas, near the round-house of the Boston & Albany Railroad at West Springfield, where he boarded, and went to bed. = Meantime the citi- zens of Westfield were aroused and a_search made for him, and it i8 certain if he could heve been found é would heve been Lung without Judgo or jury. - Special Officer G. H. Mallory and Patrolmen Thomas Meaden having ascertained Whers Smith boarded, took & night Treight train for the city, and notified our police of the affair, They then crossed back to the West Springfield sidoof the siver, snd afto going to b o tires lnces found the right “hovae, and at mith vias in bed. The two officers werb into the room._snd seized their man bafore ho could ‘raise himself in bed.” He put i clothes, and tlip offiders on in his pantaloons pocket the re: the 'crime “was~ committed. it was taken away_from him, ho remarked, savagely, #If T had known when you came into the room, 7ou would have got the contents of that) ' madeno man;sz af concealment, but gtated frankly that he did the ghoatini and was “d—d glad of it.” The officers attached their “lead- ers” to his wriste, and togk him to the police sta- tion in this city, for safe-kooping until the de- parture of the. .early train for Westfleld, on which they embarked. On arriving at thelat- f ter town, & large crowd greated them at $he [ depot, and there was loud and earnest” talk |; about hanging Smith . to tha timbors . of |\ go_ovor the New Haven & North- |: ampton Reilroad, and had ed {0.have murdored been actually killed, [ Lo Wonld probably have thug b;;;q dispoged of. He was taken to thq Jock-ap, however, without |, trouble, and g preliminary examination- ordered |: at 2 o'clogk this £fternoon. o Sniith is about 26 gem old, with 8 round, full |! faco, and & mustache naturslly red, but afiviya | dyed o jet black. He hails from Baltimiors, 1t has been nacortained' that He tricd to borrow a pistol of the’ sn;énnmndant of_the livery stablo o the riorth side of the depot, Wednesdsy after- noon, but was refused. Early in the evening:he went into one of the rooms at the depot, broke off & piece of poker and swore that he was go- ingtobe revenged. Soon after he borrowed a Tevolver of s man, Daniel Dunham, and with this weapon he waylaid the two lovers. Mise Bates is 20 years old, and has & large cir- the - persons he in- | to cle of friends, who sympathize with hor deeply in- her misfortune. Only aboutamonth ago they proposed to take legal measures to prevent her from being persecuted by Smith, and he suddenly left the town, which had become too hot for him. He occasionally returned, and must have meditated the deed for along time, and have followed his intended victims like a slonth-hound, waiting for ap opportunity o de- stroy them. 'The affair has created great oxcite- ment in Westfield, and is the all-absorbing theme of conversation, to-day, in the shop, store, and on the street. q Chief of Police Chamberlain got pretty close to Bmith during the chase, catching sight of him near West Springfield. The officer drew his re- volver and ran after him, but Smith hearing his' steps dodged around the corner of Mit- teneaque depot and disappeared. Smith attended the Baptist Church re%flul_v, ond was visited by some of the Sundsy School scholars, this forenoon. They expressed their regret at his condition, and he said, *Oh, it’s all right!" Ho stated, while in the lock-up, that nobm}g had sny right to Jennie Bates but_ himself, an nobody should have. Onmce he exclaimed, “I shalt get clear if money can doit.” He sent s dospatch this morning to & man in Baltime, asking him to come on immediately. WestriELp, Thursdsy afternoon.—Long be- fore 2 o'clock, the hour for Smith's examination, the Police Court room was dehsely packed with spectators, and the walk outside was & masa of eople unable to gain admitiance. Justice Yo, pronides,, acd the charge_wus read fo Simith, who pleaded not gullty. 2. B. Whit- ney appeared as his counsel, and asked that the doctor who examined the woundod persons might testify as to their condition. Dr. Clark accord- ingly took the stand, and said he considered the wound sorious, though not necessarily fatal, un- less some unlooked-for symptom should set in. No other testimony was offered, and ,Smith was ordered to furnigh bail in the sum of 7,500 in each case (a total of $15,000), for his appearanco before the Superior Court, at Springfield, in December. Ashe was unable to procure bail, he will bo taken to the Springfield jail by the train which leaves Wesifield at half-past 5 this afternoon. < Smith inquires often and anxiously about the condition of Jeunie Bates, but seems to care but little whether Sackett lives or dies. JOAQUIN'S WIFE. Minnie Myrtle Miller Again on the Rostrum—Another Rasping of the Poet of the Sierras. From the San Francigco Chronicle, Nov, 13. Ars. Minnie Myrtlo Miller delivered her sec- ond lecture on ‘“Joaquin Miller, the Poet and the Man,” to sz sudience of about three hun- dred persons, in Pacific Hall, last evening. The lecture was delivered ina clear ringing tone, and abounded in the most,_delicate satire. Her sarcastic allusions to her illustrious and roman- tic liega were highly appreciated by her hear- ors, and 80 sharp snd cutting was the vein of wit and_satire running all through it that the nudience was kept in _continual smiles and . good humor. Punctuall at 8 oclock ~the lecturess emergei from the waiting-room and ascended the ros- trum witha quick, decisive step. Her appear- ance wag greeted with applause, which she ac- Imowledged with & graceful bow. She was at- tired in & modest dress of black silk, with white lace mauve, and a_delicate pink knot at her throat. Her hair fell in long tlowing curls down her back and shoulders, and her hands were en- cased in white kid gloves. She unrclled her manuscript, arranged it on the table before hor and began her lectura, speaking in a clear, quick tone and an earnost manner. She began by apologizing for her ap- pearance before a San Francisco audience agein, and returning her thanks for the warm an hearty reception she had met with in this city, whera she was an entire Stranger, ~Having briefly explained the hard necessity which drove ler into the lecture-field in the hope of gain- ing support for herself and her helpless chil- , and assured her hearers that, distasto- ful as it was to her, she gladly made the sacrifice in order that her babies might not go hungry, she turned her attention. to the subject of her, lecturo. She said: “I think I know wheraof I speak when I speak of Joaquin Miller. ‘When I speak of the Poet of the Sierras I speak of one greater than I, the latchet of whose literary shoes I am not worthy to Joosen. He is & very sensible man, & wise man, & practical man, and be will view this matter in & common sense way. He was always very anxious about discour- aging me whenever he thought I would not suc- ceed, and this was wise and noccss £ course, if he sees that I am likely, to fail in this business, he will condemn me for it with his usual earnestness; but if he sees that I em likely.to succeed, I know his nature well enough to know that he will proffer his kindly ussist- ance in getting up the lectures—and consent to sharo in the profits.” She referred to an article published in one of the newspspers, recently, in which sho was styled a vencrable onsnarer of the poct’s affec- tions, and purporting to show how, as she said, the guileless young poet came down from the Sierras, fresh from his wigwam fires, to be en- snarod by a woman many years younger than he, and much more inexperienced. She sketche the life of the sr‘ost in the mines, where he wheeled dirt and shoveled slum for ono month, when a flood washed away all the fruits of his labor and he threw up mining in disgust, and, after roaming the wild woods for a while, went to editing o newspaper. But perhaps his great- est misfortune was his meeting with the ven- erable ensnarer of Point Blanco.” He grew tirad of writing editorials, grew tired of all Ibor, and tald hxs&nnters he must go to the sea-coast for his healih. So one moming ho mounted his spotted coureer that stood impatiently waiting for his rider, and, kissing his hand to s smiling widow ‘who tood at the doar, rode gracefully” toward the wost, Never was there s moro graceful rider, and never ona who was prouder of his horsemanship, He Yode on through the shadow of the deep woods, past the Three Sisters, g.hrmlfih the nacrow valley of the Umpqus, with its yellow atubblo-fields and its laden. archards, toward the gen, Tho fcenary was grand and in- spiring, and the puec,u&ging on itg beauties, be- came oblivious of else, and the spotted courser led him astray. At night the editor of the Eugene City Register was lost in the moun- taing, 1t was nothing to him to encamp in the woods within blankets, and the next morning he found the trail and at nightfall arrived on the bluff overlooking her home, She then gave a very beautlful and poeflo description of her home in the fisherman's cottage by the sen-side. He rode up to the door, leaping the spotted horss ‘over the logs that Iay in front of the house, and dismounted, removing his fipondnmxm,s urs that made his heels so gr.u ed. * She Sea ibed their meeting, and the duys they speat together in rambling on the beach and scaling the crags overhanging tho ogoan, w Ho knew nothing about boats or canoas, while she prided heraelf on her akill iy, managing o canos. One dsy they started £0 5o across the river in & canoa to githers hells on the opposite bank, 'She Jet thé Boat float down the river, and it findlly 'was caught in the ebbing tide and car- ried among the breakors at the mouth of tho river. She struggled hard against if, but her hero sab the while trams- fized with fear and_ shouting, * Pull, Minsie, pull for God’s sake.” Her struggles, ‘were unavailing and they were cerried favther out, and ‘ere every moment in d‘“%“ of upset- ting. Suddenly the poet aroge and threw off his coat, pulled off his boots, and was just about jurping overboard and farenkingher o her fate, ‘when a wave caught them and landed them hoth high on the beach, She was vexed and disap~ pointed, and young ladies who had the EXaAanro of reading ten-cent novels would understand why. ehe was l.nfiry, She had expected her hero fo plunge into the wavea and save her from drowning, but aftey several years’ experience with him, and_especially aftor reading “Kit Cargon's Ride,” and other poems of his, sha had grave doubts whether he would have saved her or left her to teke her chances, At any rato she was reconciled now fg having boen gaved by the waves, Joaguin Miller was o true son of tha goda. Ho was the most poetic man she had pver Eeen, or heard, or read of. It was the ossence of poe- try which pervaded his lifo, tha hiad_made him the marvelous mixturs of gaod and bad that he is, There was nothing on the' face of the earth which acoorda with his notions of poetry that ho would nof do'it he could, and nothmf devoid. of 06ty that he would mhmg}g do.

Hobad an ides that illogit- imate children were more precocious and better adapted to literary pursuis than thoso born in werEock, and he often seid to herof their children: “Idon’t care for these children ; they are lczgmimnm" Ho was always contem- plating death, and made his will about oncea month. It got to be amusing to see what varied dispositions he made of his effects at times. He never willed anything to her escept Lis love letters. He alweys wanted to be burned after death. Ho liked mearly everything which did not meet the approval of the world at hu-gu. Everything wild and romantic was his ‘de- light, He took particular pleasure in eon- templatifg the lives and deods of criminals, Outlaws and desperadocs were his especial pets, and he was fond of every criminal from Joaquin Murieta to Victoria Woodhull. The only speech be ever made 28 a lawyer was in defence of s ‘horse-thief. She was not prepared to give any information -in regard to his connection with the Indians, He used to talk to her about a young woman of his nequaintance who need to_wear far on her face and quills on her nose. He often said to her that this woman never annoyed him by wanting to tako her lmitting and go_visiting when he wauted her tostay at home. He always insisted that every man should be absolute mas- ter of his own bouse, and as she was brought up to the same belief sho Jielded eversthing to his will, and 80 accustomed did sho become to it that her friends often said to her, ¢ You make & god of him,” and for & time it was true. The lecturess then passed to a critical dissec- tion of Joaquin's poetry. She gaid hewas grace- ful in his flo of rhyme, graphic in his descrip- tions, and vigorons in style. He lacked some- thing of the noble nature, snd did not seem to have those fine emotions which characterize many of the poets. But he had many of the qualities and all the genius of a true poet, and the world, she predicted, had not yet heard the prelude of the grand songs e would sing. But he was unstable, and never kmew his own mind. One day ho believed one thing, and the next day he didn’t believe it. In proof of this, she refer- red to his interview with a reporter of the New York Sunm, recently, in which he said in one place that he was very poor, and in another place he said his’ publishers send him large Bums of money for eyerything he writes. He said that perhaps she did ‘not knowhim. Per- haps she did not. Perhaps there wore others who knew him better than she did. If so, let them come forward and speak. She would wel- come_them, and they would mingle their tears together. ferring to the interview again, she said: “Here o chambermaid entered, Mr, Miller said, “Excuse me,’ und she left, witha smile, “ The Poet—Poor creatures] poor creatures! Theso poor chambermaids all come to me and tell their stor- 1e, the history of their lives. This poor girl only gets £.00 o month. I know them:all. - They all come to me, and tell me of their sufferings. Poor creatures (sadly). This cisilization is a monster.” Yes, enid she, they tell him of their sorrows, these poor chambermaids. What can be more touching and poetical than this sympathy for chambermaids 7 £ Mrs. Miller closed with a few words in de- fence of her own course. She said she came from the wild woods of Oregon without any experience in the lecture fiold, and with ng friend to assist her. Her children were living with her mother, who was Leeping & lodging- house in Portland to support them. She had started out to make something with which to provide for them, end tho fow souls who knew and trusted her would yet see her suc- ceed. She again thanked the newspapers for their favorable notices of her lccture, snd ns- sured them thet her aged mother and fhe little babes who daily watch and wait and_ct¥ for her return would join her in her gratoful ‘acknowl- edgments. t the close of her lecture, which lasted about an hour, & number of ladies and gentlemen went up to heér and congratulated her on her success 23 8 lecturess. She intimated that she would lecture again on an entirely different subject be- fore leaving the city. —_— Vessels Passcd Detroit.
