ONE AND INSEPARABLE'
DETECTION OF CRI3IE
BY A raiNCU DSTXCTIVI.
(Corifinei.)
'You needn't lie to me," I iternly re
plied, "for I know all about you. Loui
is
Cuzauboa has ben watched by me'when
he didn't dream of surh a thing. He
thought I was a tradesman. But you are
Youdc:, and I would save you. Confess
every thiog to me, and I promise your
life shall be spared.
I saw that he wavered, and I followed
up my advantage, and ere long I had him
bent'to my wishes..' 1 made him under
etand that I held his life in rny band
that I could protect htm from ih8 ven
geance of any one wnoru he might crim
inate, and that he had everything to gain
and nothing to lose by a full confession
He cam's 10 it gradually and reluctamly ;
but my wit hnaily triumphed and I gained
the secret.
His name, he said, was Henry Dupin
TT a r 1 a
lie was Dorn in raris, nut never knew
who his parents were. He went to live
with Cazaubon when quite young and
had been with him ever since. He said
Cazaubon used to be a chemist, and did
some business in that line; ' and that
was in Fans he invented the internal ma
chine which they, had used since with
buch fatal effect. About two years pre
vious to the present time they left Paris
together, apd spent nearly u year in trav
eling over the kingdom, murdering aud
robbing for a living. riuaLy they came
to Caste liane. where tbe master got his
present situation. Cnzaubon marked the
victims that were to be robbedi and he
young man did the work, fie used van
ous articles to cjrry out his plans, but, the
usual one was ihg one he tried on me
The young man then tried to explain
to me the secret of the pipe. Only the
outer surface was of meerschaum. With
in it was a pistol of the finest steel, ; and
ot tbe most exquisite workmanship. The
stem was the barrel, and the lock was
concealed within tbe bowl, and covered
with tobacco. A thin plate of metal
protected the curiously contrived lock,
and upon which the tobacco rested. A
pressure of the thurobur finger upon this
plate dis barged the weapon. In order
to cock it, the plate had to be removed.
Aiud new comes the infernal feature of
the contrivance : The powder used in
the barrel was of Cazaubon's own macu-
facture, and very powertul. For a wad
a piece of felt was used, and on the top
of this was placed the missile which did
the mischief. The young man had two
of them with him, stitched in the lining
of his cap. He look them out and showed
them to me.
The projectile was a tiny arrow, not
larger than a cambric needle, with one
end sharp, and the other beat down to a
ihiu leather. It was of fine steel, but
coated with a greemsh yellow substance,
ubscli was the most virulent ana speedy
poison that the chemist art could concoct.
The needle once within the course of the
bloud.and death was already at the heart.
its wound no mortal eye could detect. It
punci.uied the skin not so palpably as the
prick of a pig. He.who seut 11 on its fa
tal errand made sure 01 his aim, gener
ally sin" ing the neck, and the victim
would full insensible ere he cculd com
prebend what hurt him.
I returned to Laswllane with my pris
oner. Having lettnim in care 01 tne &uo
Prefect I took a gendarme along wiih
me, and went to the laclory. Monsieur
Cazaubun was surprised to see me back
again so soon but he was more sur
prised wheu I asked him to take a walk
with me : and when I called in tbe offi
cer aud bade him put tbe handcuffs upon
me agem, ne was reatiy to shik to tne
floor. We had him secured before he
had tense enough to resist, and he was
couveytd to tne Sub Prefect witLout
trouble. At arst he denied everymjug
but when he found this would not avail
him any. he swore he would kill his ac
complice.
lu due lime Monsieur Louis Cazaubon
was tried and underlined to death, and
the Prelect of Duige look possession of
the ;nferual machiue. Before- the villain
was executed he confessed his crimes
told how many years he had worked lo
perteel his luteruai instrument and pro
duce ihe poison aud also owned that the
young man had been driven 10 help him
through fear of his life. ,
bo the rascal was executed. Henry
Dupin, his accomplice, speut iwo weeks
in Confinement, and was then set free and
commenced an honest life. As for
me,
I Koi all the praise I deserved, and per
haps more. At all events. 1 had done
the country some service, ana the people
were noi slow to acknowledge it.

In the Western stage .coa.ches with
their three seats, each seat accommoda

leg-placing not unfrequently leads to
fierce outbreaks of ire. An, aid lady got

mising rotundity and snappishness cf tem

nndesiraiile vis-a vis that a trstveler.could

of the individual sitting before her pre

captain of one of the lake steamboats,
known as the Old ' Commodore, wh:t?f
sternness and determination cf j :rp;;s
plainly indicated that he was warned cf
tne purgatory m store for hira, ani was
resolved to grapple gallantly with the
uimculiy.
As he took his seat, and bent his head
to the right and left over hU knee
looking as it were for a place to bestow
his legs, an cminous silencu prevailed in
the rocking coach and all anxiously wai
ted the result of the attack which this
bold man was evidently meditating.
The skipper certainly imagined that
his pantomimic indication of discomfort
would have a slight effect; but when the
contrary was the result, and the uncom
promising knees wedded him into the
corner he bent toward his tormentor, and
solemnly exclaimed :
"I guess marm, it's got to ba sooner
or later; so you and I, marm, must dove

The lady bound from her seat, aghast
at the mysterious proposition, exclaim,-
in?:
"Must what sir?"
"Dove-tail, marm. iou and I ve got
to dove-tail, and no two ways aboul it.

his corner. "Dove-tail a lone woman in

Women Toting in New Jcrsej.
During the debate in the Senate, a few
days affo. on Cowan's amendment to
strike out the word male ' in the fran
chise bill for the District of Columbia,
inquiry was - made . of Frelinghuysen
whether women ever ro ed in New Jer-
a a . 1 1
sey. nis reply admitted thai tney. once
did so "in local elections." But the fact
is that, for many years, women were re
cognized there as voters on preciesly
the same terms as men. Lucy Stone and
H- J3. piackwell, citizens of New Jersey,
have made an investigation, the result of
which is remarkable, and proves that pre
viously to 1776 only men voted, but that.
in 1776, the original state constitution
conferred the franchise on "all inhabi
tants" (men or women, white or black)
possessing the prescribed qualifications
of 50 clear eiaie and twelve months
residence, and t:i constitu'ion remained
in forctjmil JS14- in l?9P 'he legis-
ature. in an act reguiatiijg ejections,
a 1 1 L . a
UaefJ t&Q words "ne or sat? in reierence
w 1 skaS-vaaw .1 . I
to voters, in ivy, anoiner act reiauve
to elections repeatedly designates the vo
lers he or she." In vhe same year, 1797,
eventy-five women voted in LWzabeth-
lown for the federal candidate. . In 1600
women generally voted through the state
in the Presidential contest between Jef-
er&on and Adams. In 1S02 a member
of the legislature from Hunterdou county
was actually elected, in a closely contes
ted election, by tbe votes of two or tbree
women of color. In lS7'al a oca! eec"
lion in Essex county for the location of
the county seat, men and women gener
ally participated, and were jointly im
plicated in very extensive irauas. in tne
ollowiner winter of lbU7-8, the legisla
ture, in violation of the terms of tbe con
stitution passe.d an act restricting suffrage
to free, white, male, adult citizens, ana
n reference to these virtually abolished
he properly qualifications of oJ, thus
extendiu it to all white male tax payers, ;
while including all women and negroes.
u IS-20, tbe same provisions were re
pealed and remained qnchanged until
he adoption cf the present constitution
in 1314.
It thus appears that women and ne
groes possessed and exercised the right
unquestioned under the constiiution of
New Jersey from 177S to lbU7. thirty
one years, and tha; from 1S07 until JSli
ibey possessed the right, but were arbi
trarily deprived of its exercise thirty-seven
years more. This is, we believe, a
fact, unparalleled in the political history
of tbe world, and was probably dneio the
strong Quaker influence in west Jersey,
then, as usual, exerted in behalf of equal
rights. New Jersey enjoys, we believe,
the distinction of having been the first
state which .conferred upon all citizens
equal political privileges without restric
tion of sex or color. -V. Y. Tribune.

A very good member of the General
Assembly of Rhoad Island ccce mcvei
to translate all the Latin phrases in th
statue so that the common people coull
understand them. The exquisit felly
of such a measure w?-by no means ob
vious to the gret body of the Assembly.
Ii ras quye as likely to pass as not. A
good solid argument against it wa'ili
probably hive carried it through. Thg
lale Mr. Opdike took ihe ground that it
was no advantage to have the people ur
derstacd the laws. TLey were notcfraij
of anything which ihey understood. It
was ihese Latin words that they wero
afraid of. "Mr. Speaker, there was a
man in South Kingstown about twenty
years ago, a perfect nuisance, and po:
body knew how to get rid of bin. Oas
day he was hoeiDg corn and he saw th?
sheriff coming with a paper, and he asked
what it was. Now if he had told him it
was a writ what would fca hava pared ?
but he told him it was a capias cd satis-
faciendum, and the man dropped his hoe
and ran, and has cot be?a heard of since."
Nor has the proposition to translne tha
Latin words m the statutes.
