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.

We have heard of a very distressing
accident occurring in Jackson County, W.
Va. ' 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.

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.

In a suit against a street-railway com
pany of New York for damages resulting
from the loss of all the toes on one f(Kt by
being run over by one of the cars, a jur3'
has given a man a verdict of $500, thus
fix'ng the value of a man's toes at $100
each. To some people, however, the loss
of a small itortion of their feet could not
be shown to be a damage, inasmuch as
they would still have foot enough left for
all purposes of use or ornament. Detroit

California still leads the world in the
matter of marvelous growths. Her latent
showing in this regard is young Master
McDonald, aged fourteen, who in the
short space of a fortnight committed a
burglary, stole a horse and buggy, wound
ed a play-fllow with a hatchet, stabbed a
man, cut his mother with a knife and got
sent to the Industrial School for the re
mainder of bis minority. His mother
begged that he might be saved this last
experience on the ground that he was a
"real obedient boy," but the Judge was
evidently afraid that she intended to re
move him from the State and so put him
where he could be exhibited at any time
aa a sample of California production.
