FnGnrFuI MURDER IN PARIs.-On Wednes-
doy, at an carly hour, Madame la Countess Cau-
mont Iaforce, whose hotel is that OF No. 76,
Champs Eyss@s, sent for her coachman to IN
quire into the charges he had made for the keep
of her horses. 1t must be known that this un-
fortunate lady had for some time suffered from
mental arrangement, and one of her chief mono,
manias was TINT of suppos'ng every one cheated
her! She had changed her servants repeatedly,
under the impression that they robbed her, and
the coachman who committed the fatal act on
Wednesday had only been three days in the
countess establishment After questioning him,
she descended to theIstable and then commenced
abusing tho coachman. and charging him with
theft The man, not knowing tho pecullaritles
ofhis mistress, became dreadfully excited at the
false charges brought against him.and eventually
caught up ptohfork,, and inflicted many wounds IDS
on the unfortunate lady whilst she lay on the
floor of the stabng insensble from the first blow
Assistance arrived too late, and the countess OK
pired very soon after she had been carried up to
har bed chamber. The murderer was Immediate
ly arrested. He has wound ON his face which
he states was inflicted by his mistress.

LARGE SUGAR EsrArE-In the Southern
Christian advocate we find an interesting letter
from an American in Cuba, from which we ex-
tract the following: The writer was guest at
tho sugar estate known as the "Flower OF Cuba'
and says;
"This estate contains five thousand acres OF
productive lands We rode for hours through
immense folds of sugar canetwelyo to eighteen
feet high These fields arc divided by beautiful
avenues of royal palm and mango trees. Many
of the trees are sixty to eighty feet high. in tho
distance looking like white marble columns
They commence cutting the cane in December;
and tho top is used for food for cattle. In Louis
lana tho cane has to be renewed annually--here,
once in ten or fifteen years 1t is hauled in carts
drawn by oxen 10 tho sugar ml which Is usually
located in tho centre of the farm. u iI4
"Formerly the grinding was done by OK pow
or. but recently tho American engine has been
introduced The buildings and machinery on
this estate cost three hundred thousand dollars.
They work eight hundred hands and about one
thousand oxen for FIVE months in the year. The
mills runs night and day-Sunday and Monday,
Three hundred acres are planted in vegetables,
fruit etc., for the negroes. They will make this
year twelve thousand boxes and two thousand
hogsheads sugar. besides several thousand hogs
heads molasses The product of this tarm would
be worth in the Charleston market one mi lion
dollars"

BRAuAM, THE ENGLISH VocALIsT.--The death
Of John Braham, in London, on the 18th. ult, at
the age of 81, is reported in the general news by
the Steamer Baltic. This event is worthy OF a
passing notice,as Braham was probably the most
remarkable singer of which the musical world
has any record. His real name was John ADra-
ham, his parents being poor people OF the Jewish
race; but in early life, the singer assumed the
nome of Brabam. and ever after retainedi it. Be-
fore he reached his eleventh year. he made his
appearance a concert SINGER ana ga'neo u
boyisb reputation. He then studied IN italy ior
several years and returned in 1901 to London
where he at once established his fame as the great
est singer of the age. For several seasonsn ne was
the first tenor at the Italian Opera, in London
He then devoted himself to English opera and sa-
cred music and. for nearly fifty years. was with
out a rival. Until the age of 15, he retained his
wonderful power of voice, and drew crowds OF
persons to his concerts. He visited this country
about twelve wears ago, and was highly success
ful during his musical tour Twenty years since'
Braham was worth S250,O0O, but through unsuc-
cessful theatrical speculations, he has died poor
His only daughter is the Dowagef Countess of
Waldegraye. One ofhs sons, Charles Braham,
is first tenor at the Opera House in Lisbon.
A WILLIAM-TELL SHoT!-The Boston Post
must be held responsible for the following:
"In Pittstown, Rensselaer, county, New York,
Horace H. Wartsworth, with his rifle ut arms
length, at twenty PAGES, shot potato from the
head of young man named Crogan.' The potato
was cut in two and by the force of the ball vale
as big as mans finger raised on Crogan's
head and the poor fellow thought his skull was
split though no blood was drawn nor any real
harm DONE The truth is. party in the tavern
somewhat elevated had been discussing the sto-
ry of William Tell. and that led to the perilous
trial. Crogan said it was the first and last time
that he w;N ever stand as live illustration Of
Swiss patriotism
