MURDER OF ONE FREED WOMAN BY An
OTHER AT one O'Clock yesterday Core
ner Whiting received information Of a
murder that had been committed the
night previous at Graves plantation in
Goose Creek, about twenty miles from
the city. 1t appeared from the atiidavits
furnished that Mo!sey Prlngle, colorcd
woman, had Iong been Jealous of the at
fractions of Juno Theus, also colorcd, as
the latter had succeeded in estranging the
husband of the former from her bed and
board. Molsey stated that she had COM
planned to the headquarters (?) but could
yet nosredress, and determined 10 take
the law iuto her own hands. Suspecting
that her liege lord was at Juno's house,
she went thither and found his coat and
boots, but not the owner She accused
Juno of estranging her husband, and high
words ensued. In the heat of the debate
Molsey drew u small dirk, which her
husband had stolen from Mr., Graves at
the time of the evacuation, and stabbed
Juno in the cheek and breast, the latter
woand being fatal and causing death in
an hour Several of the colored people on
the place were present and saw the whole
occurrence, though the stabbing was done
too quickly to be prevented. They at
once arrested Moiscy sna brought her to
the Coroner and made aflidavits regard
ing the murder. The Coroner had the
accused committed to Jail, and the inquest
will be held to day.-Charleston News,

Al Modern Blue Beard.

A case has just been tried IN the CFiml'
nal Court of Posen, Prussia. which in it's
peculiar actrocity actually outdoes the
sangiinary legend of Blue Beard.
The criminal was bookbinder named
Whitman, and the crime of which he was
accused, andtor which 5he has been con-
IienHed to death, was the poisoning OF
four wives and two children in the space
of six years.
This Whitman, while working as 4
iourneyman in Trolin some ten years
ago, made the acquaintance of the gov
erncss of his employer, a M. Pirsch, who
died suddenly not long afierward, leaving
his entire fortune to his governess.
Whitman thereupon settled at Violin,
and in 1860, married the heiress of M.
Pirsch. Two male children were born
of this union. In 1862 Mrs. Whitman
died very suddenly, leaving all she pcs
.sessed to her husband. Three months
afterwards the eldest boy was attacked
by mysterious disease and also died.
/. In June, 1868, Whitman married his
second wife, who had likewise some mon
ey, and whosdied i'll the following Decem-
Der, after having made will in her hus.
bands favor eight days previously. In
April, 1864, Whitman took third wife
to his bosom, in the person of an heiress,
4 richer than either of the previous victims;
and this woman died within FIVE months,
shortly after having made will dividing
her fortune between her husband and. her
mother. Two months after her death,
Whitman entered for the fourth time into
natrmony--,his time marrying wealthy
widow with one child, who did three days
after The marriage
| Whitman then left Violin and settled
at Posen. His fourth and last wife died
in September, 1866, having like her pre-
tdecesso-s, made viii in favor Of her
husband about month before. Under
pretext that she had died of cholera,
Whitman wanted TO have her buried i'm
mediately, but the extraordinary mortall-
ty in this mans family had at last attract.
ed attention, and the police interfered
with bis rather premature arrangements.
\ physician was called in, an examination
made, the presence of arsenic proved,
and Herr Whitman was lodged in. Jail
just as the funeral procession startedfrom
his door
The bodies of his former wives and of
the two children were afterwards exhumed,
I andia chemical analysis revealed traces
of arsenic IN alI' of them. The proofs
were too patent to admit of doubt or
discussion, and after brief trial, Witt.
man was, rs above related, condemned
to death 3 Ere this, he has paid the pen
aIty Of his crime.

PRINTING Press, PuLp1rs AND PETIT
coArs.-These are three great levers that
govern the world Without them the
bottom would fall out and society would
become chaos again. The press makes
people patriotic, the pulpit religious but
woman sways all things. There would be
no going to church if there were no girls
there; neither would there be any going
to war we're the soldiers to meet with no
applause but from the masculines. With
out the sunshine s. ed by woman, the
rose of affection would never grow, nor
the flower of eIoquence germinate. In
short. she is the engine of life, the great
motive power of love, valor, and civiiza-
ton.
