IHE LIFE OF HENRY JuArERTZ.-The great and
absorbing interest with which our community has
regarded the case Of the unfortunate man low
under sentence Of death in this city, for the mur-
der Of Sophie Werner. will give q value and tem-
pora.y demand ior oil and anything that may
serve to throw light upon the history Of the
tragedy and its actors.
The enterprising news-meu, Mcssrs. Norris l.
Hyde, No. 100 Dearborn street, have laid upon
our table q pamphlet just Issued by them, "1he
Life, Carer end Trial Of Henry .'umptrt=:" It
will be remembered that it was upon this book the
injunction OF the Court was issued, restraining its
publication, during the interval between the con-
yiction Of the prisoner and the decision upon the
motion for new triaL The INJUNCTION having
been dissolved, the book will be On sals to.day.
It pusports to be history Of the Barrel Tragedy"
from its first inception also full report Of the
trial Of one Of the most marked in the criminal
annals Of our city.
The most interesting portion Of the book (1hich
is evidently hastily thrown together) will be found
in the full personal details of the Life aud parent
age OF Henry Jumpestz, given in aud from the
authentic form Of letters from his home. From
these we learn that Henry is the Oldest son and
child Of respectable intelligent, but poor, parents
residing At Bonn, Prussia. Tueir letters to their
son are among the most affecting We have ever
read. The writer's are devous religionlsts Of the
Roman Catholic fifth. Their other children we're
d son and daughter, now living, respectively Of
the ages OF seventeen and thirteen, and son
named Franz, two years younger than Henry, or
about twenty-four years Cd, believed to be dead.
Henry and Franz came to this country some five
years since, and almost Immediately separated,
and for four years nothing has been heard Of
Franz, though be has been widely advertised for,
In the leading cities Of this country.
Thus TO the grief Of son for four years missing,
is now added the worse fate OF the eldest son now
in the cell Of convicted murderer in this city.

A Miser Is made to "B1e cd"

Under the head of "Inquests," the Courier of
the 22nd, gives an account Of curious case of
miserly inhumanity. It seems that DR.. G. F.
Rinker, "somewhat notorious as an eccentric mi
ser and sloven," lost servant Rosine, who died
of convulsions. Some difficulty occurred about
the interment- miserable Miser intending to
make coffin and send the body to "Potters Field"
but found that this would cost S4.62l; and as he
could not afford to purchase leeches, which had
been prescribed by q Physician before the servants
death-of course this enormous expense was not
to be thought Of This model E,calapius (!) de-
termned to deposit the body in pit in the cellar,
"and to insert over it tube through which some
disinfectng and corrosive liquids could bepoured,
to destroy the flesh speedily"
In the meantime the negro friends Of Rosine
had contributed sufficient amount to defray the
funeral expenses and had prepared the body for
interment-ths was on Saturday. On Sunday
morning it was discovered that DR.. r. had strip
ped, and removed the body from the third story
to the cellar A Coroners Jury was summoned
and organized. DR.. R. was furnished quarters
at the '.Guard House," and as his lodgings cost
him nothing, he doubtlessly spent comfortable
night On Monday morning he was examined in
the Mayors Court, and sentenced to pay fine Of
5000, in default of which he was committed to
prison. OF this fine the Courier makes the fol-
lowing just remarks:-
"Ths sentence was, Of course, considered q Sc
we're punishment by one who would not pay Sl.SO
for the interment of his servant, Rosine, as re-
ported in yesterdays Courier.
It will not be considered severe by any other
person, as the case would have justified even
larger measure of punishment.
The municipal authority in this case does not
interfere with the State laws, which yet await ap-
plication."
So vilea outrage of all decency ought to meet
the most severe punishment. And we trust that
the State Laws will handle the culprit with all
possible roughness.- Herald.

nation is given that reply will be published
next week. On the supposition thata controversy
may be the result we now state that our space
will not allow us to publish more than one column,
on this subject each week. Our columns are al
ways open to temperate discussion, but we cannot
consent to fill up the paper with matter, in
which large portion of our readers will take but
little interest. We have thought proper to say
this much, in order that all parties may have JUS

LEIGH HUNTS "RINIINI." ;"
"And Paulo, by degrees, gently embraced
With one permitted arm her lovely waist;
And both their cheeks like peaches on tree
Leaned with touch together, thrillingly;


And both their cheeks like peaches on a tree
Leaned with touch together, thrDlingly;
And DER the book they hung, and nothing said,
And every lingering page grew longer as they read"
What beautiful picture is here presented =
what exquisite poetry throbs in every line! I'm
agine, if you can, two young lovers sitting alone
beneath the shady sweetness Of some aower.erown-
ed arbor or bower. She, in her modesty, holding
volume of poetry in her dainty hands; hoping
thereby to attract the attention Of her lover away
from herself to the holy, thrilling, and exalted
products Of master mind He, through polite
ness, listens to the glowing theme; yet longing
for her rosy lips to warbe the last word upon the
glowing page. Involuntarily, as the beauteous
poem progresses, the lovers draw closer to each
other, until their flushed cheeks 'like peaches on
tree, leans with touch together, thrillingly." "
How natural how grandly eloquent and beau
tifully simple are the living and almost godlike
expressions of that sweet poet, Leigh Hunt. How
natural, that the young Paulo should think the
'spage grew longer as she read" He did not care
for the poem; he had sweet words to whisper in
her ear; thrilling kisses to imprint upon her lips.
Oh! when would the long, dull poem end
Read the tstory Of Rimini," if you wish to feed
upon beauteous thoughts; read it until the heart
throbs to atune more harmoniously beautiful than
the music that floats out upon the fair waters of
dreamland read it until the warm blood starts
from the heart and tingles musicaly through ev-
cry vein; read it until the brain grows wild with
the fragrant draughts of deliciousness; READ it
until stars shall mingle their mellow light with
the perfume of flowers and fill the heart with a
benediction as sweet as heaven. G

Fabled Origin of the Tobacco Plant.-Among
some of the Indians fondly treasured tradition
which seeks to account for the origin of the "go-
rious weed" Here it is:
sin the beginning we had only flesh of animals
to eat, and if they failed we starved. TIVE of
our hunters having killed deer, and broiled part
Of it, young woman descend from the clouds
and seat herself on hill hard by. Said one to
the other, 1T is spirit perhaps, that has smet
our venison let US offer some of it to her. They
accordingly gave her the tongue she was pleased
with its flavor, and said, Your kindness shall be
rewarded; come here thirteen moons hence and
you shall find it. They did so, and found, where
her right hand had touched the ground, maize
growing; where her left hand had been, kidney
beans, and where she had sat they found tobacco.
