THE EVENING STAR. > Murder Explained—How K 's Secret was Kept. {From the Norwich Chronicle, Jnne 2.) ‘The confession of Constance Kent, and the other cireumstamces brought to light im) con+ nection with this extraordinary case, leaves the inystery still, ina great’ measure, unex: plained. ere is an explanation cufrent in the locality, which sistent account of the tragedy, but whigh we have hitherto refrained from pub- lishing on account of the painful delicacy of the disclosures it makes. bogged! is-sure, however, to get abroad, sooner or later, we can find no good reason for withholding it. The circumstances, as they are re) to us, are these:—Mr. Kent, who is an illegitimate sonofH. R.H., the late Duke of Kent, was provided for by an appointment as Inspector of Factories. “ While Foing his rounds he formed an intimacy with a factory girl of sin- gular personal attractions, and haying her ed- neated as a governess for his children, he made her Mrs. Kent after the death of his first wife. ‘The stepmother, it is said, exhibited even less consideration for the children of his first mar- riage than is ordinarily expected in like cir- cumstances, humiliating them by requiring of them the most menial domestic duties. Miss Kent was of a most stubborn spirit, and rebelled against the regimen prescribed for her. The conflict came to a erisis on the day of the murder, when, it is said, Mrs. Kent whipped her severely: and it was while smarting under the pain and en tee thus in- flicted that she conceived the full revenge of murdering her stepmother’s darling child. As the story goes, a domestic, to whom local sus- Ppicion has all along been attached, discovered the frightful crime. She was induced to keep the secret, and the father and mother had each, of course, their reasons for adopting the same course. It is frightful to think that the self-accused mur- deress, known to be such by her own father and two other members of the household, should heve been living im the family with them so long after, her presence at the table constanuly reminding them of the awful secret they held in common; and, if this account is true, it certainly cannot be wondered at that they took the earliest opportunity of getting her removed ont of sight. Ger Orr THAT StumP.—Among the paroled rebel prisoners who came upon the steamer Lady Gay on Tuesday, was a man alittle over seven and a half feet im height. He started out with the Missouri troops at the commencement of the war, and stuck to them until the “dog was dead” and never received a scratch. Soon after he was mustered into the rebel service, the regiment to which he belonged appeared before the Colonel on dress parade, and the Colonel, who prided himself on a fine appear- ance and good size of his men, cast his eyes along the line with a smile of satisfaction, nntil they rested on the towering form of the tall Missourian, when he knit his brows, and called out hag in thunder tones, “Get off that stump, you impertinent scoundrel, or Pl order you under arrest.” The soldiers looked at each, othcr wondering what the Colonel meant, but no one moved. Finding his authority treated with disrespect, he fairly boiled with rage, and advancing to the big soldier, he ex- claimed, “What in the d—lare you standing on?’ The soldier respectfully replied, “On my feet, Colonel.” The Colonel was com- pletely taken back as he surveyed this speci- men of humanity from head to foot in blank amazement; he mumbled an apology for his ude remarks and hastened away. leaving his men conyulsed with laughter. “Get off that stump” became a by-word with the Missouri rebels, and it will no doubt live as long as the Jong Missourian.—Cairo Democrat. uF The results of the census of Providence R. I. just completed, show the whole popula- tion to be 54,498, an increase in five years of 3,532. @7- The lower conntry and other portions of Louisiana is infested with guerrillas and out- laws.

Practical tests having fully demonstrated the su- periority of this machine over all others for the pur- pose of sinking Vil Wells, the undersigned is now pegpared to receive orders for the same. This machinery comprises everything repeats for the boring of oil wella excepting the STEAM ENGINE AND CAST IRON DRIVING PIPE, (but will be furnished, if desi: at a reasonable price.)and dispenses with the use of the derrick rope, bull-wheel and other cumbrous and expensive fixtures now in use, and is so arranged, being con- structed on wheels and portable, that it can be easily removed for the purpose of sinking wells in different localities. The detritus is removed from the well by our pat- ent hydranlic process, and does not require the removal of the drill from the boring. This process not only removes all the detritus in frem 5 to 10 minutes, but likewise effectually clears out and opens all the small oil veins that are so often en- tirely cl up by the old process of sand pumping. With this machine and a practical engineer, a well can be sunk from 400 to 600 feet within a period Fusions 15 to W days after the soil pipe has been Arrangements are being made for the construction and delivery of these machines at New York, Nor- wich, Newburg, N.Y., ‘and Pittsburg.
