which one Alexander More is charged with
poisoning his wife, daughter, son-in-law and

since, the family fell sick, seemingly with the
same complaint. They at once called to their
assistance their family physician, who was
afterward discharged, and the services of an
other secured from Concord. A careful in

the conclusion that the family was poisoned

Extraordinary snit in a French Court Fine
Foundation for d Dramn.


A suit has been commenced in the French
Courts, the incidents developed in which will
set the brains Of the dramatists in o wbirl
and give work to their pens The story runs
thus; at......
Nearly thirty years ago, u widow lady, of
q noble and powerful Huguenot family re-
siding in the south of France placed her
child with gardeners wife, who was 10 act
as its foster-mother and nurse. One day,
as the young heir was sporting before the
door, and the gardeners child was lying on a
bed in the cottage, the nurse heard the wheels
ot carriage, and Immediately suspected that
tne mother OF her young charge was coming
TO see her son. In her furry, she snatched
up the heir, but slipping, let him fall upon a
heap Of stones, breaking his right arm and
coUar-bone. In her terror, she rushed TO her
husband, who advised her to stow away the
screaming victim under the bed-clothes, and
taxing his garments, he placed them on his
own child, and boldly stood at the door to
wait tho ladys coming. Contrary to the
usual casual glance given by her on her pre-
yious visits, the lady-mother was SO struck at
the change in her darling, to the lean, brown
hungry-looking babe which she beheid in the
place OF her own plump baby, that, vexed
and exasperated beyond measure, she seized
the child in her arms, and bade the postillion
drive away. The gardener and his wife
were terribly frightened, but decided to 20
the next day to the chateau and make anexpia-
nation. To their further conformation they
found on the next morning that the lady was
gone, and had taken away the child. Years
sped on, and the family did not return, while
the ignorant cottagers, influenced by terror,
never dared TO stir in the matter, until the
gardeners wife, on her death-bed, recently
made full confession. In the meantime, the
cottager's child has passed his life as mem

The Presentation to the Queen Throush
-lg Er Iuadvertence. f0l

A Mrs. Duncan Stewart was recently, as
we have stated, presented at the Court OF the
British Queen by the Countess of Fife. A
few days afterward, public notice was
given, from the Lord Ohamberlain's Office,
that the presentation was Through inad-
yertence." The plain English of this is, that
discovery had subsequently, been made of
some by-gone scandal in which Mrs. Duncan
Stewart was implicated, and which the aus
terely virtuous Victoria regarded as sufficient
to Danish the unfortunate lady from her
Court. SO the brand is stamped upon Mrs.
Duncan Stewart in most offensive and
public manner. A similar affair happened q
few years since, and the branded lady grieved
herself into the grave. The case of Lady
Flora Hastings is not forgotten by the public,
and probably while many exclaim with rev.
erence, "see what strictly yirtuous Court is
the Court of our Sovereign Lady, Queen Vic
toria, others may entertain the suspicion
just the bare suspicion-that true virtue,
conscious Of its own purity, and in its inno-
cence,. unsuspicious Of guilt in others, would

The dinner given by the President recently

The Washington States says oNtt
The ambassadors have been driven about
the city that they might leave cards at the
residences of the Senators. The tcardsr are
pieces of mulberry-bark paper about six
inches long by three, on each of which were
inscribed the names of the three Kanis in
Japanese and in English characters. They
are now formally installed in the diplomatic
corps at our republican court.
On their recent visit to market thev were
delighted with the articles exposed for sale,
and lndulged in many eXclamations of sur
prise. The butchers stalls they turned away
from in disgust, but they made a careful ex-
animation Of the fish market, being eaters of
the tinny race. A gigantic halibut, brought
from Boston market in ice, was to them a
marvel, but they recognized rock fish, houn-
ders, crabs and Holsters. Terrapins seemed
familiar, as did chickens, pigeons and ducks.
Butter and cheese they regarded with indif-
even milk. The vegetables they examined
carefully, recognizing turnips, radishes peas,
beets, carrots, lettuce and potatoes. All of
these they are very fond Of and the United
States Agricultural Society is having pre-,
pared for them collection Of garden seeds to
carry to Japan. They say that our rice IS
not equal to theirs but that our vegetables
are better, Strawberries, now abundant
here, they do not fancy. ''''

4 g CosDIrIos OF CnOps IN THE souTH. THE

= CONDITION OF CRoPs IN TIE SoUTH.--The
New Orleans Crescent of the LIST observes:
Although there are accounts from some
isolated sections that the sugar-cane is doing
very well, 1t is useless to attempt to disguise
the fact that there is . great want of rain,
and that the plant is suffering seriously.
Moreover the. very low stage of the water In
the Mississippi prevents any irrigation being
carried out and although there are no, COM
plants from some quarters, they are numer-
ous from other sections. From the advices
received from Texas, the sugar crop for this
season in that State is placed at ten thousand
hogsheads-a very diminutive prospect, but
If II reaches these figures il will be larger
than last year. The general accounts from
Texas are, thus far, encouraging as regards
corn and cotton. Wheat is cut short, which
causes the Texas markets TO depend Oh New
Orleans for something morel than thegquan-r
tity shipped from here this year. There not
being any banks in Texas, the citizens genef-
ally have to depend on New Orleans, through
thoif agents at Galveston, Houston and other
places, for the usual facilities to move the
crops TO market. guaan 10

dismissed from the road last week for having
innocently complimented lady on his train
for the Cinderella-like exquisiteness of a lit

A ChInesc Dinner Served A style,.

A wealthy Chinese merchant of San Fran.
cisco, recently gave a dinner TO some of the
prominent citizens, consisting Of fourteen
courses, Of which the San Francisco Herald
says .l I.ugrI.i ...J.
The eleventh course consisted of the famed
bird nests, worth their weight in gold in
China. These nests are built by species of
swallow found in the India seas, particularly
N the Island OF Sumatra. The nest is the
shape OF g common swallows nest and IL
about the size of goose's egg and has the
appearance of fbrous, imperfectly concocted
isinglass. The substance of which il is con-
posed is not known, but IL is supposed 10 be
the spawn of fishes, gathered by the bird. or
q secretion elaborated from, the body of the
swallow. The finest are those gathered
before the young swallows are matched, at
which time they are pure and white. These
nests are found in caverns and almost mac
cessiole places, rendering it impossible for
any one to collect them who has not been
regularly brought up TO the business.
After the birds nest dish n sharks fms n
great delicacy with the Chinese, was placed
on the table. II had rank, musty flavor.
by no means palatable to outside barbarians'
Another course of some Chinese prepara-
TONS and the last one consisting of stewed
duck, wound up the meats, making fourteen
courses IN all. Then came the dessert, con-
sisting of Chinese cakes, jellies and pates of
different kinds, all of which were served up
at one time. The bread consisted of two
kinds, one in small loaves, about as large and
looking just like moderate sized, freshly
peeled mushroom. They were exquisiteIy
white and light. The other sort Of bread
was in loaves Of the same shape, only about
four times as large. On being broken open a
thin plastic covering made Of -four, peeled off
and revealed the light and snowy bread,
baked in layers which detached from each
other like separate pancakes Both of these
sorts of bread were slightly sweetened.
