A statement comes from the
town of Huntingdon, Carroll
countv, Teiin., oí'the discove-
ryofa cave in that locality
which wan a place of hiding
for the famous outlaw of days
gone by—John A. MuireJl.
In the cave were found the re
mains of a young woman and
those of a negro, the latter
chained to the rock floor. The
remains of a couple of dogs
were found near the hotly of
the negro. A couple of pistols,
with the name of John A.
Murrell carved on the stocks,
snid to have been found in the
cave, are now upon exhibi-
tion at Huntingdon. The
bodies of the woman and the
negro are said to have be-
come mummified, Hiid are in
a perfect state of preservation,
that of the woman showing
traces of great beauty. The
story has a Joe Mulhatton
flavor, but is believed by the
people of Huntingdon to be
true. There is no doubt, it
seems, about the pistols being
on exhibition at Huntingdon.
John Boyle O'Reilly, editor
of the Boston Pilot, was re-
cently invited to deliver an
address in Montreal and Otta-
wa. He declined, owing to
the danger of arrest by the
British government. He,
however, wrote to Secretary
Frelinghuygen that he waR
convicted iu 18G0 of high trea
son against the British govern
ment; sentenced to twenty
years' imprisonment; escaped
in 1SG9; cmne to America and
became a citizen of this coun-
try the day he landed. He
asked if his citizenship would
protect him in Canada, The
matter was laid before the
British government by Minis-
ter Lowell; O'Reilly also ap-
plied by letter to England
asking permission to visit
England and Ireland ns well.
Replies have been received
from the British government
denying the request in toto.
Japanese children are taught
to observe strictly the festivals
in honor of their gods, and
on a festival morning the lit-
tle fellows will go very early
io the barbers to have their
heads shaved, then they will
paint and powder their faces
and start away for a Shinto
temple. When they cannot
get into the temple they ring
the bell on the outside to call
the godfs attention to what
they have to say, drop some
money into a box and ask the!
god to bless them. Coming
along they have probably
brought two pice cakes,
bought on the way, which they
give to a boy belonging to the
temple, in exchange for which
he gives them one tliut has
