The Trial of the Assassin of the
 ArchhiNhOn

The trial of Verges, the assassin of the Arch bshop. presented most extraordinary scene The prisoner behaved with the utmost violence ;nterrupting the witnesses, denonuciug then as liars and scoupdrels. and appealing to tn, spectators for sympathy and protection. Al last. the prisoner became more violent thar ever. He declared that only garbled letter. were read against him, and loudly demanded that everything should be read. He sat dowr and rose up repeatedly with furious gestures and called the cure " Miserable! miserable!n

 The President ordered the gendarmes to talk e inc prisoner away. He resisted, and cried @IIeIp people; people defend mel" A cry here arose from the audience, "No, no; you are an assassin; an assassn;" and the prisoner was draoced away from the bar amidst a scene such as was probably never before witnessed in court of justice. The court then adjourned for sshort time.
 No person ever remembers an instance of prisoner on trial for his life, having so miscon- ducted himself that the judge was forced to take the extreme course of proceeding to con- demn him in his absence. Such, however it was thought, would be the case with the assas- sin of the Archbishop of Paris; but on the Judges resumng their seats, he was brought back to the bar by the gendarmes, and appear ed somewhat calmer.
 The trial again proceeded, and the evidence being completed, notwithstanding the frequent interruptions of the prisoner, and the Procur- eur General was about to commence his speech for the prosecution, but appeared overpowered by his emotions.
 The prisoner here exclaimed, "You tremble sir, you tremble, finding yourself opposed to such an adversary as l am. Yes am your ad . versary in everything You shall not speak. You have prevented me from speaking, and will prevent you" After vain attempts to make the prisoner conduct himself decently. the court, on the motion of the procureur. Gen eral, pronounced a decree, reciting that the prisoner had by incessant clamors and insults obstructed the course of justice, and ordering that, by virtue of the law of Sept. 25, 1886, he should be removed from court, the trial pro- ceeding in his absence
 The speech of the Procureur-G General being closed, the President summed up, and the jury reudered verdict of guilty. Sentence of death was then pronunced, the prisoner being still absent-N r NeDs

The Cabinet.

Hon. JACOB THOMPSON, OF MISSISSIPPI This distinguished citizen of Mississippi passed through Memphis yesterday morning en route for Washington city, it is said by invitation of the President elect to become one of his cabi- net counselors. It is understood that the secretaryship of the interior has been assigned to him. To this department belong especially the lands, Indians and patents. Mr. Thomp- son for number of years was connected with the Indian committee in the House of Repre- sentatives, and he has had as much to do with the land policy of the country as any man, old or young, in the Union. He is, therefore ad- mirably qualified for the position assigned him by the new President. Moreover, Mir. Thomp- son will bring as much of ability, integrity, r- dustry and urbanity to the discharge of bis off, cal duties as any one who could have been se- lected. Superadded to all this, Jacob Thomp- son will, in all matters of governmental policy, prove prudent and sagacious counsellor for the incoming administraton.-INemp Appeal, Sd inst

THE CHINESE SUGAR MLLEr.-An agricul. tural correspondent of the Scientific American says he ground in cider mill, and then pres- sed. about half bushel of the canes of sugar millet, which he supposed to be worthless from being touched with the frost, and he obtained . quart of excellent molasses from the juice by evaporation. He judges that the square rod of ground planted-if the canes had all been used would have produced four gallons of molas- ses, or at the rate of six hundred and forty gall Ions per acre. Such crop would have proved valuable last year, since sugar and molasses are 60 high.

WHAT IS "A FINE CRop"-We take tho following paragraph from an article in the March number of Debow's Review, entitled " The Duties of an Overseer:"
 In conclusion, bear in mind that fine crop consists. first, in an increase in number and a marked improvement in the condition and va lue of the negroes; second, an abundance of provisions of all sorts for man and beast care fully saved and properly housed; third, both summer and winter clothing made at home; also, leather tanned and shoes and harness made when practicable; fourth, an improve ment in the productive qualities of the land and in the general condition of the plantation; fifth, the team and stock generally, with the farming implements and the buildings, in fine order at the close of the year; and young hogs more than enough for next years killing; then as heavy crop of cotton, sugar, or rice, as could possibly be made under the circumstances sent to market in good season, and of prime quality. The time has passed when the over seer was valued solely for the number of bales of cotton, hogheads of sugar, or tierces of rice he had made. without reference to his other qualifications.
