How a Wonld-be Murderer Was Thwarted. A very strange occurrence lately took place near Bordeaux, France, an account of which comes to us in the most authen tic form. It seems that a woman em ployed at the Chateau of London recent ly inherited 1,000 francs by the death of a relative, and the money was paid over to her in gold. A peasant employed as a gardener upon the grounds of the estate, hearing of the woman's good fortune, de termined to possess himself of the money. The woman filled the position of house keeper, and it appears that the family were a short time since passing afewdays in town, and had taken the house-servants wiili them, leaving the housekeeper alone This chance was seized upon by the gar dener to effect his object relative to the 1,000 francs. He entered the woman's room and locked the door, after which he demanded her money. This of course she refused to give him ; but he threatened to kill her iastantly unless she gave him the 1,000 francs, and to save her life she finally did so. Then the man declared that he must murder her to keep her from bear ing witness against him, but gave her the choice of dying by the knife or the rope, and summoned her to decide quickly. The poor woman prayed for mercy, making all sorts of promises; but the man was inexorable, and peremptorily told her that her time had come she must die by one of the means he had named. The woman at last chose the rope as the least horrible to her imagination. The man then tied her arms behind her and fastened her to the bed-post securely, and, mounting a chair, fixed the rope he had brought with him over a beam, making a noose at the end designed for the woman's neck. Having fastened the rope securely he put his arm in the noose to try and see if it would slip properly, as designed, and so choke her to death. The chair was near the bed, and the woman suddenly kicked it with all her strength from tinder the would-be assassin, so the man re mained securely suspended by the arm. They continued thus until morning, not being able to release themselves, and the robber being all the while in an agony of pain. At last their cries at tracted some laborers, who came to the room and burst in the door. They heard the woman's story and, tying the garden er, delivered him to the police, lie was romptly tried and condemned to the gal ey for a term of ten years. If. Y. Weekly.

The Spanish Minister in Washington has been officially advised from Madrid that his Government has conceded that in future American citizens on trial before courts-martial in Cuba shall have the privilege of selecting counsel for defense. The treaty of 1795, in the opinion of the Spanish Government, was not sufficiently definite to meet cases of courts-martial in the event of a war or insurrection in the island, but the present arrangement settles the question in accordance with the desire expressed in a friendly note addressed by Secretary Fish to the Spanish Government, and disposes of the exaggerated reports on this subject.

' It was at a " huse-raising." As is customary on such occasions chickens had been killed by chopping off their heads. Two little sons of the owner of the house to be raised saw the chickens thus guillo tined, and during the day concluded to re peat the operation. It was just at a time when the men were lilting a heavy log in to its place. The father, who was holding one end of the log, casting his eyes toward the little fellows, one of whom had the ax raised to sever the neck of his brother, let go of the log to save the boy, and it fell, killing six men, two instantly, the others living only a few hours. The ax fell be fore the father could reach the scene, sev ering the neck of the son. Thus were seven persons suddenly hurled into eternity. Middkport (Ohio) Neitt.

JOHN CHINAMAN. " Hot a Chinaman, eh!" mused His Honor, as Bijah proudly escorted out a " John." The prisoner indulged in many gestures and a great deal of Chinese language. " It won't do, my boy won't do," re plied the Court, with a shake of his head. ".I can't understand your infernal lingo, and you needn't talk tea-chest marks to me. I am here to administer law in the name of the American people, in the American language, aud I want to know bout your being drunk. You were found on the walk, dead drunk, and this is your hour of peril." " Washee glood man Michigan ave nue!" said the prisoner, going through with many motions. " Are you one of Wah-IIap's men ?" " Yles yles washee Wah-Hup no get thunk!" " You might have been stretched outon die walk to get a bite of fresh air, but it looks to me as if your legs had leen tan gled up by whisky. What do you moan, young man, by coming over to America and getting a brick in your hat?" "Washee washee!" responded John. " Boy, you had better look out! You look like the heathen who starched a dozen shirts for me when I went East last summer, and I swore vengeance on him! I believe -ou are guilty, but I suppose I've got to let j'ou off. Listen to me, now!" The Chinaman gave a great jump as His Honor struck the desk, and the Court con tinued : 'Look me right in the eye, you salmon colored Celestial, and mark ni3r words. If you ever get drunk in this town again I'll make you think that all the joss-houses in I'ekin have tumbled down on you! Go, now, and don't turn to the right or the left as 3'ou make tracks for the otlice of that pensive rascal, Wah-Hap." A REMNANT. 44 Henry Desire, do you desire to say anj'thing in this case?" inquired His Honor of the next. " Yes, sir." " Well, say on, but don't have over three chapters in it, as others are waiting in the corridor." "I got drunk on election day, your Honor, and " " And have been drunk ever f-.ince," add ed the Court as the prisoner paused. " You couldn't have hit it closer!" said Henry, a smile of admiration covering his face. " You got drunk Tuesday, kept drunk Wednesday, Thursday aud Friday, and aren't over one-third sober yet, eh Y" "That's it, your Honor you've hit the case exactly!" " Mr. Desire, you are not a fair-minded citizen. This thing ought to lie divided up among your fellow-men. You can't expect to keep drunk four or fivedays and still maintain the reputation of a liberal hearted man. Other people want a chance, and from my earliest iufancy I have been down on monopolies. I have carefully considered your case, and I believe you ought to be sent up for three months." "Just my figures!" exclaimed the ad miring Henry. " I'll go in a jiffy!" But it was thought best to have him go in the Black Maria. dog vs. CAT. "Two old women here for disturbing the peace? Well, Mrs. Itose, clear ycur throat, expand your lungs, and give me a column and a half of explanation. " You see, sir," she began in a fierce voice, " I have a dog!" " That's right, madam. If I had time I'd own a thousand dogs." " And this Mrs. Bannister has a Cat!" " Very likely. Home wouldn't be home without a cat. What is the color of this dog and this cat?" " Maltese and white, sir; and yesterday as my dog was sitting on the uoor-step, saying nothing to nobodv, and her cat was on the fence, wanting a fuss, Mrs. Bannis ter comes out and says she: 'I'll scald your sore-e3'ed dog, I will.' And I says: 'And I'll pizen that howling cat o' yours!' And then, true as I stand here, your Honor !" "And then yes, I can imagine all the rest. You two old women called each other names, clawed nt each other over the jackets, raised the ncighlors and were justly arrested. Xow, then, I don't want to hear an' more. I fine 3 0U three dollars each, and 1 warn you that if you are brought in on the same charge again I'll put on m3' coat and go up there and knock 3'our wall-eyed cat and sore-heeled dog in the head." "It's a beautiful cat!" shouted Mrs. Bannister. " It's the finest dog in town !" screamed lIrs. Ilosc. " I don't care hustle right out o' here, and don't stop on the street to call names!" THE SMALL OY. He was ten years old. He had a red nose, tears in his e3-es, ragged clothes, and he was awful sony. " It makes a shiver run up and down my back when I think of this boy standing on a street-corner and calling pedestrians names," said His Honor, gravel'. ' It was in fun!" wailed the lad. "Think of Ins calling men 'old bald headed' and the like of that!" "Jim put me up to it!" " I don't want to saw him in two, and it's too late now to use him for fish-bait but this hoy needs reforming." " I'll reform I'll reform!" called the lad. " I don't want to send him to prison, and yet I fear he will turn out a bad boy." " Try me try me I'll never call names no more!" sobtied the 003. His Honor left his chair, walked down to the boy, and putting a hand on his head he solemnly said : " Bub, a bald-headed man isn't to blame for it He'd have hair there if he could. I am bald, and Bijah is bald, but we al ways pay one hundred cents on the dollar and never dead-beat a street-car. You may go home, but if3'ou come again I shall know that you want to turn out a Dick Turpin, and I shall deal with j'ou accord ingly." Dttrvit Free J'rs. The physicians of Denver have been holding a long and careful inquest over a man who, it seemed to them, had died very m3'steriously. After using the scal pel until their patience was exhausted without finding anything that in their minds could reasonably cause death, they came to the conclusion that it might have resulted from some chronic disorder which they could not discover, added to thirty or forty bullets with which his body was perforated. A healthy Denver man who can't hold that amount of lead with comfort doesn't amount to much. A man was fined ten dollars for try ing to shoot his wife in a country town of Massachusetts; but then it was in evi dence that sbe wasn't a very good wife, FACTS AM) FIOUKKS.
