Prussia the True Friend of France.
Tours, Oct. 24.-The Prussian commander at
Orleans has posted placards all about the city
containing appeal to the citizens and in
forming them that the French Government and
not the Prussan is their real enemy. The jour
nails reply to this appeal bitterly, encouraging
the people to defend their country to the last
extremity.
They say that France was unprepared for
conflict two months ago, but she is now COM
mencing TO feel that she may struggle with sue
cess. Her people will make fitting answer to
Prussian protestations of friendship.

AETODERN BLUEBEARD.


Dr. VIM. d. Potts, alias Duvall, an old
resident of Newark, n. j., has been con-
victed of the murder of his fourth wife at
GAINESVILLE, Wis. DIR. Potts is a native of
New Jersey, aad was born near Trenton.
At the age of fourteen he was known as
the 'Boy Preacher, - and continued in the
ministry until thirty years of age, when
he engaged in the practice Of medicine.
DR.. Potts came TO reside in Newark ten
years ago, and opened a botanic dlspen-
sary at No. 40 Broad street. He had
lived in Trenton, where his first wife, a
young lady of Plainfield, had died sud-
denly of mercurial rheumatism of the
heart. The first Mrs. Potts was dead
about year when the Doctor moved to
Newark. He professed TO cure persons
of diseases by the laying on of hands;
gave out that he was the Seventh son
of a seventh son, and by these preten-
sions, and by his botanic dispensary sue
ceeded in carrying on a profitable
business. He dressed in black,
had a heavy beard and long, we'll
cared for hair. He soon made the
acquaintance of a young woman of
wealth, and married her much against the
wishes of her relatives. Mrs Potts brought
her husband q considerable property,
which he squandered. After his marriage
he lived four years in Newark, and was
forced TO leave because of the suspicion
which the death of his second wife
aroused in the minds of his neighbors.
She was found one morning lying dead at
the foot of the stairs leading to her room,
and was buried without any satisfactory
account being given of her death.
The Doctor then went to Buffalo,
changed his name to Duvall, and married
a Miss Katie King, who died two years
ago without apparent cause. About one
year ago he married Miss Elizabeth
Moore, of GAINESVILLE, Wis. After living
with her six months, she was in turn,
killed, her death having been the result Of
poison administered by her husband under
pretence of giving her a medical prepare
ton.
Upon his trial for this murder, the
Doctor testified in his own behalf, and
gave an explanation of all the circum-
stances surrounding the death of his wife.
The jury found him guilty of the
charge, and the Judge sentenced him to
the State Prison for the term of his natu-
raj life.

stumping campaigns through the State, as
sanitary precaution against change of

large inside breast pocket, q good-sized
flask containing something stronger than
milk, to which was attached a rubber
tube terminated by rubber nipple. The
water being no where agreeable, and he
very often thirsty, the stump-orator ap-
piled himself to that rubber nipple with as
much kindness and frequency as he ever
did to the maternal tactical font in the
days of his cradle history.

by Nelly sang her favorite songs
With that soft sympathetic tone
Which to good taste belongs;
Soft words OF love--of tender love

And quite enraptured became
While listening to thavocal treat
And when She stopped, begged 81 her
To sing for me just once again
Some pleasant, gentle s0ng-in fact

And prepared myself, with joy,
To hear the song OF Nolly's choice,
Some sweet, low strain Of love, no doubt,
Just suited to her tender voice.
And lightly DER the pearly keys
Her slender, graceful fingers ran,
Until she found her favorife tune
And then with yigor she began.
She opened her pretty mouth, toh, tiearl
What bliss, could her fodder be),
And in voice, so sad and sweet,
She sang, "Shoo, fly don't bodder mel"

A FEMALE nRoKER nROKE

Miss Tennie G. Claflin was mulcted in
the sum of $l25.70, with interest and
costs of the suit, in the Marine Court,
New York. This was the first Of long
series of suits to be brought against her
for debts contracted in Chicago, and was
brought by Mr.. James Blake, Chicago
grocer, to satisfy judgment received
against her in the Superior Court of Chi
cago in 1867. When Mr.. Blake's attor-
neys were instructed to bring this suit, as
1T would not pay the creditors to come
= on here and identify Miss Tennie, they
4 wrote for and obtained the following wsiI-
ten description of the lady: 'AIiss Ten
nessee Clafiin is a charming woman, Of
medium height, brown hair, gray eyes,
dark complexion, decidedly plump, and
about thirty years of age.n
The attorney read this to her, but while
she acknowledged the correctness of the
description she coolly denied that she had
ever been in Chicago, and said that lady
who was her perfect image resided in St
Louis, and that she had often been called
on before to pay her bills.
The attorney then received from Chi
cago certain statements about her life
there, which he repeated to her, and then
she confessed, but asked him to settle the
same.
The attorneys have since received
number of other claims for collection,
among which is bill from Messrs. S. w.
Ehrnan s. Co., for sundry drugs supplied
during the time Miss Tennessee prac-
ticed as physician in Chicago. In this
bill there arc such items as blood root, one
box ley, syringe, ointment prescription,
one quart alcohol, one bottle sherry, court
plaster, morphine, bay run. QRe, ley cup,
assafetida, pills, sugar-coai - many
Others of the same naturel
