A Mysterious Abduction. National Associated Press Darras, Tex., April 17,—An ex- ceedingly mysterious case ot abduction has just come to light. Rev. Mr. Hughes, pastor of the Lamar street church of this city, his a son-in-law by the name of Oliver, who some time ago had occasion to visit Nashville, Tenn, Whilein an unfrequented por- tion of the city at a late hour he was suddenly seized from behind, gagged and spirited away. When he awoke next morning he was in ascow rapidly doscending the Cumberland river. Abandoning the river his mysterious captors cut across the country, travel- ing in a covered wagon through Ar- kansas and Indian Tertitory, into New Mexico, all the time haying no communication with ‘the prisoner. When a short distange from Albu- querque, New Mexico, a halt was ordered and consultation had with two other parties who joined the travelers, The prisoner was asked many ques- tions as to persons and things of whom he knew nothing and being confronted by the two last mentioned men after careful scrutiny they exclaimed: “He ain’t the man, boys? Let him 0!” Oliver was then directed to go in a certain direction, where he would find a wagon bound for Albuquerque, to ask no questions, but get in the sane. He obeyed, arriving in Albu- querque, whither he telegraphed his whereabouts and for money to his father-in-law. Mr. Hughes promptly sent the amount required, cautioniug the telegraph officials, to closely ques- tion the recipient, giving them a clue which would not fail to reveal the right man in due time. Mr. Oliver arrived in this city, after having been mourned as dead by his friends. The only explanation of the mysterious abduction is Oliver was taken for detective Overton, operating in Ten- nessee. against several bands of out- laws and misled by the similiarity in name these desperate men had carried him into New Mexico with the inten- iion of putting an end to his life sheuld he prove the right man.

The Crime and\Puulshing of a Celes- tial Colonel. China Mail, The Penal Code of China, consider- ed in comparison with the laws which are supposed to keep in subjection the refractory elements of Weatern na- tions, has been characterized as bar- baric and eruel, and, taken as a whole, it undoubtedly is; the more so be- cause legalized torture is a dangerous weapon to put it the hands of an un- scrupulous Mandarin, who, in thesé days of rank purchase, may have started life as a coolie, or may be the profligate son of a purse-proud mer- chant. But, on the other hand,many cases, more especially criminal ones, ocour in which the punishment is a |, thousand fold lighter than that which would fall upon a like offender in the western world, This may be a fault; the humanitarian world would re- joice over it, the legal luminaries shake their wise heads; but if for cen- turies this leniency of punishment for oertain classes of offense has not tend- ed to the increase of crime, and has been found sufficient for a nation [N whose disposition is more passionate and more easily worked upon than that of the phlegmatic inhabitants of the west, perlk)m s after all the human- itarians would be right and the legal luminaries wrong. A case appeared in a recent Peking Gazette wflioh exhibits the curious working of Chinese law. A Brevet Colonel, who had suspicions as to his wife's fidelity, finally discovered her and a servant in flagrante delicto. He immediately stabbed them both to by law and not liable to the slightest punishment. The Colonel should in the next place have communicated the provement of the Mississippi river, according to the plans of the Misils- sippi river commission, o pay those entitled to the xe- mainder of the Geneva award.

Chlcago Herald, When Justice Wallace called for “William Dyer, disorderly,” this morning, Officer Gillard emerged from the pen leading a dirty little speck of humunity, whose face is perlectly fa- miliar about the board of trade and other public buildings, “Are you guilty, or not?"” The micrescopic form stretched u, on tip-toe so that the frowsy hns reached barely to the level of the judge's bench, and a small voice piped out: ““I want a change of venue,” After the subsidence of the general smile which this display of technical “finesse ' called forth, Col. Cameron asked the prisoner: “Do you know what a change of venue is?"’ “Betcher life, 'Tswere 'fore another judge.” “Don’t make the mistake of sup- ing that that boy don’t know what K:. is talking about,” the court re- marked, turning to the city’s counsel. “Three years ago, you go young for the reach of the law. that time he has been u; or four times, but on eacl I’ll ask him now. are you?'" “Going on ten years,” “You see, he is incorrigible. e e free of charge. when he was 8 years old, he came up before me and made the discovery that he was too Bince here three successive occasion he has been under 10 years old and so not liable to prosecution, ‘William, how old Well, 1 shall have to give him the change of -y yenue, and give Justice Hammer an ? ;w‘rp(;'r,tunity to get acquainted with [t o occupied by Daniel Brown, asa box | Stout, a son of W.
