Crime I'm France.

A Paris letter says the French papers
for the last week have recorded some
frightful murder almost every day, and in
many instances the murderers were in re-
spectacle positions in society, persons
above want, and moved to crime by the
vilest and most soIdid passions. In Paris
a young man, thinking it wrong for his
father to marry q second time at the age
of sixty, took it upon himself to condemn
his father to death for his o~ffense, and he
executed the sentence with his OWL hand.
In the country near Rouen, q school mas
ter of good character attempted to violate
q niece who was under his protect on, and
to escape detection, murdered her and her
aunt. These cases, and others equally
atrocious, have already been referred to-
Another case has Just been disposed by
the Assize Court of the Indre and Loire.
Some years ago a druggist named Pincau,
set up q shop in the market place of the
little town of Levrolx
Shortly afterward his sister married the
brother Of a grocer's wife, named Darnault
who lived opposite. An intimacy arose be-
tween the two families, which resulted in
Pincau attempting to ALLEVIATE the afec-
tons of Madame Darnault from her hus-
band. Being repulsed, he took a pistol
and shot her dead in the market place at
ten o'clock in the morning. He was de-
Tended by Mr.. Nogent Saint Laurent, the
deputy who last year took a prominent
part in opposing NJ. Jules Favre's motion
for the abolition of capital punishment
Now he had nothing to say to the jury in
behalf of his client-who. being a well
educated man had deliberately committed
the blacklist of crimes-but that it would
not be expedient to send murderers to the
scaffold. The eloquence of the advocate
succeeded in obtaining extenuating cir
cumstances, and the adulterous and muir
derous chemist, instead of being guillo-
tined, was sentenced to hard labor for life.

An Item in the saturday
wash

Says the Springfield Republican: Mr..
Schofeld of Pennsylvania, denounced
Secretary Seward with great severity, in
Saturdays debate in the House, for send
ing the constitutional amendment to the
rebel States for their approval. After he
finished, Mr.. Cooper Of Tennessee quietly
reminded him that the House had direc
ted its clerk 70 forward the amendment to
the same States before it was known that
Mr.. Seward had done it. Mr.. Scofeld
illustrated his contempt tor Mr.. Seward
by a story:
An Englishman once, on exhibiting the
qualities Of his kennel to an American
traveller, came upon an old dog who was
nearly used up. "That," said the nobls-
man, sis the best dog in the pack; he is
same and blind, deaf and old but still the
most valuable animal I have" f.For
WHAT" said the traveller. "His education
was good, and his sense Of smell is still
perfect, and we take him out to put the
puppies on the track and then return him"
1 know, Mr.. Speaker, that it is hardly
dignified to compare the Secretary of
State to that old pointer, and 1 will tell
you why 1 am not going to make the
comparison. Said the nobleman, "Ihave
owned hat dog fifteen years, and hard as
he looks, he never bit the hand that fed
him, or barked upon a false trail" laugh
ter and applause.
The Speaker hammered away with his
mallet to restore order.
Mr.. Schofeld, installing the object of
the Speaker, inquired whether his time
was out.
No, suggested Mr.. Stevens, in a low
tone, he is only calling you to order for
doing injustice to the dog. The remark
was laughed at by those near enough to
catch it.

AntIetam National Cemetery.

A Maryland correspondent of the
New York Tribune, who has been or a
visit to Antietam National Cemetery,
writes: "0f the two thousand Union
soldiers who died on the battle field of
Antietam on the 18th OF September,
1862, and were buried there, less than
one-half a be identified by naTe and
regiment. The afrail memo Is erect
ed by their comrades have disappeared,
and everything seems to have been
taken from their persons that could
lead to their Identification. At this
writing, (January ~ two thousand five
hundred bodies have been exhumed.
Nearly one half of these are laid in
the large plot dedicated to the I'm
known As has been already remark
ed, in most of the graves, but little is
found except bones /; but there are
some notable exceptions. Some bodies,
buried in moist ground, are in a won
derful state of preservation. A few
days agoa grave was openedfrom which
a giant corpse was taken, seven feet in
length, and so well preserved that the
workmen stood it upright. The grave
was exceedingly shallow, and in a damp
place. 1t is probable that the flesh
was frozen so hard that it held togeth-
er the joints. In life this man must
have been a giant. He had such
breadth of shoulders that he could not
be put into the largest sized Govern
ment coffin.
"These examinations have developed
a singular fact, which may be general
or perhaps only accidental-red hair
and whiskers are invariably found in
an almost perfect state of preserva-
ton, while all others are found in a
state of decay. But few relics have
been found in the graves, and these
few of but little interest. Occasionally
a piece of shell drops from a skeleton,
and frequently a bullet rolls out from
the interior of a fractured skull. In
n grave there was a bottle containing
a small piece of paper, on which was
written: William c. Stickney, Com
prny C, Seventh Regiment, Maine
Died September &c, at IL o'clock p. m.
Residence Springfield, Maine" A gal
vanized watch was taken from the
grave of an unknown soldier. On the
inside of the case the name "Sam Rob-
inson" is engraved in letters so small
that they can only be read with a mag
nifying glass. This may have been the
soldiers name, but it is more probable
the name of some journeyman watch
maker who at some time or other re-
paired the watch. A silver watch, a
pocket looking glass in a frame curious
ly carved, a gold locket, three ambro-
type ikenesses, a few rusted pocket
knives, a silver ring, a rosary which
some pious soldier had carried, per-
haps, as a charm against deadly bullets
and a few insignificant trinkets are all
that have been found. 1t would seem
that a dead soldiers pockets are pretty
thoroughly examined before he is put
into the ground"

Cheese as Food,

Compared with other people the
Americans place but little value on
cheese as an article of food. We use
it as a condiment, sauce, or side dish,
rather than as a necessary or proper
food. In England, Scotland, Ireland,
Wales, and in many parts of conti'
mental Europe, it is regarded as q com.
mon and sometimes q necessary aTti'
Gle of food. There is reason why il
should be so regarded. Its compois-
ton is very similar to that of flesh, the
case in representing the muscular fl
Der, and the buttery matter the fat
portion. Casein is an albuminous sub
stance, useful in building up the mus
cles, and the buttery matter is a con-
centrated carbon as useful, in its way,
for food as fat meat. The Swiss cham
ois hunters take on their expeditions
among the higher alps, where they re,
main sometimes for days together, ex.
posed to intense cold and undergoing
the hardest of exercise, only a small
quantity of cheese and a flask of bran
dy. The English harvesters live on
ale, cheese, bread, and occasionally a
bit of mutton. The Germans and Hol.
lauders use cheese as q common arti-
Gle of food.
With some persons cheese is not in
favor because of its constipating quail
ties. Eaten raw it is less so than when
toasted or made into the popular dish
known as WEIGH rarebit- In this form
it is scarcely fit for the human stomach
the fatty particles are separated from
the albumen and appear simply as Ii
quid oil, while the albumen is changed
to a tough, stringy substance, without
nutritious qualities and almost as indi-
gestible as sole leather.
Cheese derives a Fictitious and mark
ct value from the districts in which it
is produced. The Stilton cheese is a
synonym of superior excellence to the
English palate, and those who have
made themselves acquainted with leu
tonic tastes understand well what is
meant by Limburger and Sweitzer ksse.
But for years past the American cheese
have been growing in favor, not only
here, but in England. 4 late number
of the London Grocer says; "The
Americans and Canadians are emula-
ting our most successful dairymen, and
really choice American and Canadian
cheese may not be obtained from those
English importers who have made
themselves well acquainted with the
best sources of supply"
If cheese could be afforded at a fair
price as compared with meat, there is
no reason why it should not become,
in a measure, a substitute, as it seems
to be especially adapted to restore the
force expended by those whose work
is extra laborious and exhaustive; and,
indeed, it may be questioned, now,
whether it is not as cheap, all things
considered, as fresh meats. 1t is a sub
ject worthy some consideration.

A TeutOH

Among the many incidents connec-
ted with the Crosby Opera House draw,
the following is one of the most ANU
sing. tits thus related: About the
hour of one o'clock, a well known wag,
with a parched throat and empty peck
ct, stood on Randolph street, cogita-
ting how to make the raise of a glass of
beer. Suddenly a brilliant idea took
possession of his Uranium. The Opera
House was being drawn for, and oppo-
site him was the saloon of "Bockmay-
er." Being on intimate terms with the
said yender of beer, he by some means
had become advised of the number of
the certificate. With him to think
was to act. Entering the saloon, he
exclaimed, "well, the Opera HOUSE has
gone" "Who's drawn it?" inquired
the Jolly Teuton. Don't know the
man." was the answer, "but its No."
"DoHner Oetler," sounded suddenly from
Bockmayer's lips, "das iStmeine MUNRO"
and a scene of the widest excitement
ensued. In the course of half an hour
the news had spread to every saloon
and resort in the city, aud by dozens
and scores his German friends hurried
to congratulate him. "Fries-haus aufqet-
iSht," sounded from the lips fthe lucky
~ individual, and in about three
hours the concern was CLEANED out"
Also, about this time a newsboy with
the evening papers made his appear
ance, and Bockmayer, with a self salts
fed smile-gaYe the boy a quarter for
the expected qualification of seeing his
name and number in print. He turn
ed to the page and read Drawing of
the opera house, $1,000, lucky num-
ber." Sacrament das ist false" he ex-
claimed, and, breaking outinto a laugh,
he explained to the crowd how the pa
per had been fooled" But gradually,
and in spite of his possessing a certain
number, he became less sanguine, and
when new corners confirmed the state
ment of the papers, he felt less happy,
and 81 last, when the whole truth burst
upon him, he was the most disconso-

entations were agonizing to hear. 81

or two, as Bockmayer wears an enor-

Valuable Table Legs.

A young nan went from New York
City to the West, where he commenced
business on his own account, and married.
His friends in the city were interested in
his welfare, and when a merchant wa;
about to journey to the place where the
young man was located, he was requested
to visit the emigrant, and ascertain how
he lived, and what sort of a woman he had
chosen, his prospects. etc. Accordingly
the New Yorker ~ascertained the residence
of his young friend, and called upon him
right early in the morning. He found
him in a small, neat cottage, and just
taking breakfast. The introduction of the
New Yorker to his wife was quiet, off
hand and uneeremonIous, and be was re-
quested to be seated and partake of the
morning meal. The young wife had pre-
pared the steak, biscuit and coffee, with
her own hands, and for a table had used
knesding board, over which a napkin wa;
spread, and the board placed on her lap
The New Yorker declined a seat at the
table, and in telling his New York friends
as 10 how his young friend was living, he
described the style as magnificent" and
If he were the owner of the young man:
furniture he would not take ten thousand
dollars for the legs Of the table!

Last CIrar

Here Is q sterling anecdote of him.
reported by all the papers of Germany:
At a gala d'nUer r. . We lately TO the
President OF botL 4vuses of Parliament,
to the prominent leaders of all parties,
and to the notables of the capital. eli
gars were, at the close of the meal,
handed round among the invited guests.
Bismarck himself offered one to the re-
nowned General Moltke, reminding
him that this was the second time he
enjoyed this honor, but that the first
cigar was by far more valuable than the
one he was now offering.
When the taciturn chief of staff, by
shaking his head, declared that he
could not recollect such an act offriend-
ship, the minister declared him IN
grateful, and to the high satisfaction
of the numerous guests, reminded him
of the first cigar: "Do you not recol.
lect, dear Moltke, the moment when,
on the Sd of July, as we cuirssiers are
used to say, the battle stood still, and
the whole staff in the most feverfsh ex-
element, awaited the arrival of the
second army under the command of the
Crown Prince? 1 observed you, though
at a little distance, in the midst of the
Generals, how with iron GOODNESS you
were looking there on the fight, and
then with the same hopeful eye ex-
explored the left, whether you were
not able to discover the vanguard of
the Crown Prince.
"But they did not come, though ca
gerly expected; and my poor diplo-
matte soul was agonized, by the terri
bic thought that, in a few minutes
more, all my long Herculcan laborS
have been in vain. And then l per-
ceived, to my horror, that you were
throwing away the stump of your CT
gar. 'Stop,'I said to myself, If he
shall be enabled to save US, he must
have a cigar 1 ransacked my pocket,
took out the last stock, one good cigar.
and another of doubtful taste, and Civ
ing the spur to my horse, 1 was by
yonr side, offering you the choice of
my reserve.
by heaven! you did not look long
on the two cigars, but took the better
n and lighted it as coolly as you have
done just now Your indisturbance,
If l may say so, restored to me my
goodhumor, and the thunder ofcannon,
which loon reached US from the left,
electrified us all. But that you cannot
forget sucn a moment, dear Moltke,
would exasperate me indeed. But,
gentlemen, by your consent, l shall
grant him indemnity may 1 not?"
General Moltke smiled, but, like your
Grant, remained silent.
This anecdote, which is literally true,
characterizes Bismarck. He, too,
smokes his cigar, cracks his joke, re-
mains undisturbed, and is sure of the
final victory of his diplomatic Sadowss.

Worth Thinking of.

A neighboring farmer wishes US to call
the attention of the ~law-making power Of
the State, and of our citizens generally, to
the manifest injustice of requiring a man,
whose lands are bounded on one or more
sides by the centers of the roads, upon
which they are located, to pay taxes upon
that portion of said lands embraced in said
public highways. If the quantity of land
embraced in the roads and streets were
always in exact proportion with the land
owned by the taxpayer, the thing would
perhaps be right, but inasmueh as a fifty
acre farm might possibly have more road
frontage than the adjoining farm of 200
acres, while the owner of the latter would
have four times the use for the roads that
the former would have, it does no doubt
work unfairly in very many instances
Let those interested look into the matter.
