Story Of an Intrepid Ohambermaid.

4
Galignani's "Messenger,p a French
paper, tells the following curious story
Annette, youngchambermaid OF Name,
had kept the rooms Of two wealthy bach.
elors for several years, She wanted to
get married, but her lover was so poor
that she burst not venture. The bache-
lors were brothers, and one day they had
sold some property which, they owned
! jointly, and the money, amounting TO
1O6, 900 france, was paid in bills Of the
Bank of France, too late to- take at to
Paris that afternoon AT midnight a
great noise was heard in the house. An.
iietts ran and raped at her masters
door, saying that lrobbers were at work
below, "You have gum" says she,
"take #, and shoot the villains !" Both
the IbacheIots were much frightened.
One beganto barTicade the door, while
the other removed a tile from the hearth
to secrete the bank bills. "Fools, /" said
the GIRL s'they will murder US alI-give
me the gunE' She seized double
baneled gun which laid upon the shelf,
and started down stairs, the two fright.
ened men watching her movements
without saying a word, Presently bang
went the gun and a groan was heard
bang went the second barrel and now
screech of pain Tesounded through the
house, Annette soon came tripping up
stairs and asked for powder and ball to
reload The astonished bachelors gave
her therequisite charges, but soon steps
were heard retreating from the house.
All three then went cautiously down
stairs, when 10 pool of blood showed
that one robber at least had paid the
penalty of his rash attempt In the
morning 1t was plain TO be seen that the
body of the unhappy victim had been
dragged by his companions TO the river.
Blood marked the whole distance, and
the police were instantly on the alert for
the arrest Of the living thieves, and the
discovery Of the body OF the dead one.
All was vain, however, but the intrepid
ity Of the poor girl was discussed far and
near, The grateful bachelors, knowing
that Annette wanted TO marry, prepared
to ogive her dover. "Ah! Monsieurs,"
replied she, Hhow can Lleave youl you
may again be attacked by robbers"
"But we will not, nevertheless, stand be-
tween you and happiness here are
thirty thousand francs you have saved
our lives, and richly deserve the money.
If you choose to live in this house with
your husband, we shall repair the lower
part for that purpose, and you can then
be paid for keeping our rooms neatly as
at PRESENT. Annette did not hesitate to
accept the dover and the house. 1t was
many years before the real facts relative
10 this midnight attack Of robbers came
to light The rich bachelors were then
both dead, and had willed Annette an
other thirty thousand francs. The rob-
bers, it appears, were not Of the plural
number, but only Annette's lover alone.
The blood was from lamb that had
been killed for the occasion. Indeed,
the whole was but a ruse by the two
lovers to open the hearts and the purses
of the rich bachelors.

NJ The temperance men in Eng
land are about to petition their parlia-
ment for prohibitory liquor law. There
are 2527 licensed brewers in the British
Islands, SS, 400 persons licensed to sell
spirits and wine, and 3s,65S licensed to
sell beer. In 1851 there were Sl,0O0,-
600 gallons Of spirits consumed in Great
Britain in one year, with nearly $780,
900 gallons Of foreign wine. The whole
amount thence accruing to the public
revenue, is over fifteen millions sterling.
II will be seen, from this statement, that
the temperance men have a formidable
opposition to encounter.

a. Premium.L

\ A premium of $500 is offered, on be-
halt of liberal and pious citizen--to
which another proposes to offer $50 or
800 if the work fulfIs his expectations
--for an essay, not exceeding two hun
dred 12mo. pages, on "the more perfect
exempli6cation in Christian life of the
doctrines OF the Gospel, and with special
reference to the conversion of sinners to
Christ"
The Christian who offers this premium
foicibly says: "The great dangerin this
day OF light to the orthodox Churches, l
apprehend is that Of resting in dead
faith. The present | know is called the
fage of action.' But must think it is
action only in comparison with the past.
AS compared with the work now de-
manded by the exigencies Of Christ's
kingdom, the present is an age Of world
illness, of lukewarmness, and self-indul-
gence. The merest modicun, as a gem
eral thing, is given to the work of Christ,
while multitudes go for fashion, extrava.
gance and luxury. Even the little we
do for foreign missions seems to be in
danger OF bribing our consciences into
the neglect of the perishiug around us.
The broad way is still the thronged
way."-Morning Star. " h

TU Sons IN CABIFoREIA.--The San Fran

the Sons Of that city. Beautiful in its
appearance, and we'll conducted edito-
rally, it is doing good work for the
cause, and we trust will be well sus-
tained.t From the number for August
gs16, we take the following paragraph:
IaT awe have a Grand Division and
.twenty-seven subordinate Divisions, en-
bracing some two thousand Sons Of
Temperance. We have courage, ac-
tiyity, and an indomitable energy and
perseverance,. We have an increasing
public sentiment in our favor, and con-
slant augmentation of moral, physical,
intellectual and conservative power.
We have the ability to defeat the cleo
ton of any but sober candidates, and we
have the California Temperance Or
gan" through whose columns every
friend of temperance may converse and
compare sentiments with every other
friend of temperance in the State, and
by which all may be informed of the
progress Of our enterprise, both at home
and abroad. With these facilities we
are accomplishing something for the good
of our fellow men, and checking the tide
of intemperaace and death.

If so, you can perhaps inform me
why it requires some three 10 eigsi
days for a letter to find its way from
Fayetteville to Nashville, while a
/ traveller finds no difficulty in making
the trip between sun and sun the
sam lie day. 1t has always been a set
tiled point in our opinion that it was
about as far from Nashville to Fay
etteville as it is from Fayetteville to
Nashville yet a letter from that
place to this generally reaches US the
day it is m iIed On the 3lst OF
DC It., a letter with an enclosure of

does not undertake to say who is to

make the best Of it-evidently gross
negligence somewhere. Our atten-
tiv and obiigihg postmaster here,
says the letters were regularly mailed
and forwarded on the morning after
they were placed in his Office; of this
the re is not doubt. Now, MIR prin-
ter, if you can give any plausible
reason why these three letters should

Hoe Contracts.

The St Louis htelhgeacer has
the following article:
AS yet we are unable to give any
important transactions in this line
A few purchases have been made by
one Of our packers on the Missouri
river, but thus far nothing has been
done that can be taken as a fair
opening for the market. The pur-
chAses to which we allude, compris-
ed some 2, 800 to 5000 head, a por-
Ito n of which were bought several
weeks since. 1000 head delivered in
the neighborEiood of Rocheport, at
50 so gross, and 500 from the same
vicinity delivered here at SO 90 nett.
The hogs Of the last lot to average
200 lbs. or over. The prevailing
opinion among packers at present is,
that the market will open in ten days
or two weeks, and at prices ranging
from SIS 70 to 81 %. The bestand
most desirable4ots they think will
be. bought at 81 Il S425.
The season is not backward com
pared with last year, but should the
weather hold warm, and the diyersi-
ty Of opinion continue in regard to
pQces, which exist DE tween buyer
and seller, it may be the latter part
of the present month before anything
Of consequence is done. Last year
the first slaughtering, done in this
vicinity was on the 10th of Novem-
Der, at Ames pork-house, on the OPP
posite side of the river. Between )
600 and 1880 still fed hogs were
then put to the KIN lie, which cost in
the vicinity of So %. The first lot
slaughtered in the city was at Ash
brooks on the 10Th, costing from
So 374 to 50 80 per 100 pounds
net.
We see that one or two packers
at Alton have contracted for between
5000 and 1000 head; ut prices rang
ing from IS % to 81. 1t may be
that the work Of slaughtering will
commence there, and at several points
On the upper rivers before it does in
This city, as feeders and farmers will
pc in no hurry to get their hogs to
market at. low prices. The opening
lrice last season was-5 % to s. 80
md only a few of the first ready for
market bought at these prices. This
eason the probability is that 81 to
81 20 will be the starting rates,
howing a difference in the two sea
ons Of 81 TO ST. 90 per 100 lbs, in
he openingprices.
