A DASTERDLY DEED. Lord Cavendish, she 1ew Chief Secre tary of Ireland, and HenryBurke Under Seeretray, AssasshUaUe4. DUBLIN, May 6.-Lord Frederick Caven dish, the new Secretary of Ireland, and Earl Spencer bad remained at Dublin castle en gaged in the transactin of official business until six o'clock this evening, when each drove to his respective residence. Alter din ner Lord Frederick and Thomas Henry Burke, Under Secretary, went for a walk in Phoenix Park. They were stabbed close to the Chief Secretary's lodge. No arrests have been made. A later telegram from Dublin gives the following particulara : It now appears that Lord Fredejick Cavandish and Under Sec cretary Burke were stabbed and not shot as was first reported. They were both strolling in the 1 ark. hbout half a mile from the city pate and a quarter of a mile from the Chief secretary's lodge, when a cart drove up con taining four men, two of whom jumped down and attacked Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke, stabbing them both several times in the breast and throat. The victims stauggled hard for life and in the struggle became sep arated, their bodies being found some ten paces apart. The tragedy occurred at 7:10 o'clock in the evening and in broad daylight. The bodies were first discovered by two young gentlemen who were riding bicycles through the park and who immediately give the alarm to the police. Surgeons soon reached the spot, but the police were already bearing Burke's body away to the town, where an examination showed that life was extinct. The upper part of the body was perforated terribly and presented a horrible and ghastly sight. Proceeding further, the surgeons reached the body of Cavendish, which was being conveyed away from the park on a stretcher. The body of the Chief Secretary displayed some dreadful wounds, in addition to which the left arm was broken and torn as if he had put it up to protect his breast. Lord Cavendish was quite dead. The bodies were taken up to the Stevens Hospital, where they will remain until an in quest. The locality of the oLirage is terribly marked with blood. The spot where the. Chief Secretary was found was absolutely deluged with blood, while Burke's body lay in a pool of gore, It is said that after the act the murderers immediately drove off. There seems to be no clew to the assassins at present, but the police are using every effort to discover them. A large quantity of gold and notes were found in the pockets of the victims, showing that the object was not robbery. Great excitement prevails through out Dublin, and widespread indignation is expressed. The telegraph office is besieged for the latest news. O wing to the lateness of the hour of the arrival of the news in London, nothing of the outrage is yet known among the general public. At the London clubs and other late West End re sorts the news of the assassination was re ceIved with a feeling of stupefation, followed by expressions of the bitterest resentment. Oahkosh Shirt Orchard. Oshkosh has had a visit from a bumorous book agent, one who took an entirely new course in getting his book before the people. Instead of going to a house and commencing by showing pictures of his book, the binding and so forth, he would engage the woman of the house in pleasant conversation and make jokes, relate stories and repw pains until she was so enchanted she wouM'buy a book almost every time. He got several or ders for his book and was on the highroad to prosperiry until bt~iday, when he came away on a gravel train as far as the first sta. tion and walked the rest of the way to Fond du L ~c, where he had his broken arm set, put a piece of raw beef on his black eye and is grcwing some new hair. It was washing day, and quite muddy, and as he went into the gate of a residence he noticed that the clothes-line had fallen down, and the woman had hung the clothes on the trees in the or chard. The agent thought that would be a good subject for humorous remarks, and when the lady came into the room with her sleeves rolled up, her hands puckered up from soap suds, her apron wet and her tem per red hot, the agent smiled and said: "Ah ! madam, I noticed your shirt orchard is bearing well this spring. Trees seem to be loaded." And then he laughed pleasantly. She just looked at him but didn't say a word. "Tre shirt is the most profitable fruit we can raise in. this climate," said he, looking out of the window at an apple tree on which were several wet shirts, fispping in the wind, "but they should be grafted with the pillow case, or the towel, to appear at their best," arid he smiled a beautiful smile and opened 4 his canvassing book. "Sir !" said the lady as she wiped the suds off ter nose with the under aide of her apron "What is~your business with me?" 'Presently, madam, presently," said the agent, as he pointed to a pear tree, and re strained hemself with an effort from laugh ing outright at his humor. "lIt shows intel ligent cultivation to produce swch results in this claycy soiL Why should we keep sheep when we can raise woolen stockings on a. pear tree ? What is the use of repining .when red lhnnel petticoats can be-~- "Looktlhere, zniuter," said the lady, who was getting tired, as Qbe folded up a pair of Notbee bare and to*k hold of thezm with both hitd., "I Mave hepLtd almnost enough of this .sspbyr." "One moment, madam," said the agent, smiling. "The shirts on the cherry tree speak to me of the millennium. The corsets on the lilac bush tell me that it is good to be here. The children's drawers that bud on the gooseberry bush will grow, in the warm sunshine, to be large enough for a grown per son, and I see the tall stockings on the crab apple tree, with holes in the heels, kicking at the pink sunbonnet on the limb above and I wonder-" At this point the lady'recovered from her astonishment, and in a couple of minutes the agent came out the front door and struck head first on the gravel walk on his nose, one coat tail was pulled off, and the man got into the street and ran toward the depot, while the woman went into the kitchen say ing she could run that shirt orchard without any help from book agents. At Fond du Luc the agent said he fell from a train and struck an ice house. It is safe to say that the humorous book agent has canvassed Oshkosh as much as he will this season. A Wife's Practical Joke. A Burlington man recently wedded a young wife. The lady became enthused over Will Carleton's tale of a handsome young woman with a "handsomer man," and deter. mined to try the same thing herself. She wrote a neat little note, stating that she had left home with a gentleman whom she had dearly loved before she had met her husband and that he need not trouble himself to look for them. Then she called in her younger brother and went calling with him, arranging to re turn and hide where she could witness her liege lord's dismay when he came to read uf her flight. She, from her place of eonceal ment, saw him enter, saw him look all around in surprise at her absence, and finally saw him discover the note. He opened it and read it, while her heart beat high with excite ment in anticipation of the breaking out she expected to hear, The poor fellow finished the cruel missive, tore it up and through the tragments on the floor, and then, without a moment's warning drew a pistol and fired point black at his breast, and fell without a sign of life to the carpet. With a terrified scream the woman was at her husband side in a moment, lifting his head, rolling him, shaking him, turning him, and hunting for blood, all the time shrieking for her William to speak to her, to forgive her, and to only look at her. William lay motionless, however, and the neighborhood, aroused by the shot and screams, came flock ing in to learn of the excitement, when sud denly, when a score or more had gathered, the dead leaped up from the floor as well as ever, at which the wife fainted away. She soon revived, horever, at~d then It all came out that the younger brother, being In sympathy with William, had let him into the scheme, and he had chosen that mode of punishing his wife for the joke. She jokes no more, but her husband has compromised on a pony phaeton to keep peace in the fain ily.- Hawokeye. A Womnan's Erpernence.
