Singular Detection Of q Murderer.

As illustrating quck perception and rare
presence Of mind, Chambers Journal
vouches for the truth of the following
story, which was originally published in
the guise of fiction:
Caroline =, goood-looking, finely
proportioned young girl, lived as lady s
maid with fashionable young widow
rather posse. One evening, after having
assisted at her mistress toilet for dinner
party, she amused herself, before putting
away the various articles scattered about
the room, in trying on pair of stockings
and dress shoes belonging to her mistress,
and having done SO, she viewed her well
turned limbs with compacency, saying
aloud: "there's a leg for stocking, and
there's a foot for shoe" Having
satisfied herself as to their symmetry, she
divested herself of her borrowed plumes,
put the room to rights, and awaited the
return of her mistress, whom she saw into
BED. That was the last time she saw her
alive. She was found 10 the morning
murdered in her bed, The jewel case aud
plate chest broken open and robbed. The
robber and murderer left no trace by
which he could be captured, aud, in spite
Of the most diligent seach, escaped. Three
years afterward Caroline was engaged in
similar capacity by lady who took her
to Paris. She lad almost forgotten the
murder, and, if she thought of it, it was
not with any hope Of discovering the
criminal
1t happened that she was walking 10 one
OF the public promenades one afternoon,
when, as she passed group of men, she
heard these words:
There's a leg for stocking, and there's
a foot for a shoe" In a moment the |
events Of the evening before her mistress
was murdered flashed on her memory. |
And now for her marvellous presence of
mind, pretending not to have heard any,
thing she glanced at :he group cf men,
She saw there were three, but she could
not tell which of them had spoken She
walked slowly past them, then she stopped
IN an undecided manner and fully turned
back and walked up to them, she asked TO
be directed to a certain street. AS she
all Of them had word for her
aud among the voices she easily recognized
The one that had just spoken. Their
language and looks were both very free,
out she onI y told them that they were very
mpertinent and that she would get the
Information she wanted from the first
yendarme. She thus averted suspicion. if
hey saw her speaking to u policeman. The
lext difficulty was how to inform police
nan what she wanted; she had only been a
ortuight IN France, and knew scarcely a
word OF French. She, however, carried a
pocket dictionary with her to assist in
making purchases. aud as a means Of ac-
Iuiring little French. Going over to a
'ench, she sat down and searching through
he dictionary she found the words she
wanted and she then wrote them with a {
'encll on the fly leaf of the dictionary. +,
he sentence ran thus: "GenRarn,eS je II
U0r GcS0'n vous drreter an meutr, en-"
he grammar was not very correct, as 1
dictionaries do not teach syntax, but the
endurme understood it, and in another
Iinute held the murderer in his grasp
lie was afterward convicted and hanged on
he girls testimony. il

On Sunday last, two brothers, hailing
from Kane City, were playing poker at
White Oak, and one Of the brothers was
tound in the woods stabbed through the
heart. The surviving brother asserts that
the deceased fell on his knife and caused in
slant death-Forest Republican.
These brothers were Sweeds. Four or
five men were there engaged in chopping
wood. They lived in a shanty together
On Sunday they got into a general fight in
which one was killed and another injured.
DR.. Shugart, of Titioute, informs that the
direction of the wound in the deceased, the
position of the kuife, and all the crcumstan-
ces, lead to quite different conclusion than
accidental stabbing, or suicide as the Coro-
ner's inquest declared it. 1t is understood
that further inquiries into the affair are to
be made. Warren Malt.

Nessus has for long time enjoyed dis
tingushed reputation on account of that
little transaction Of his in the shirt business,
but at last NesSus has met more than his
match in a man who dwells in the romantic
village of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. This
man had the smallpox, and lived through it
without changing his shirt. When conva-
lescent he gave the garment to colored
woman to bury. But utilitarianism and
careless washing, and, on the following
Sunday, her sole mar" appeared in all the
glory of white "biled shirt" In due
time he was taken with smallpox, and died
soon after, and, strange to say, 80 did five
others who successfully came into posses
sion of the fatal garment. Nessus killed his
one man. Hercules, with an effort, but this
Hopkinsvillian killed his half-dozen without
half trying.

The Georgia question, which has been In
allegiance for some days, will be revived
during the coming week in the Committee
of Reconstruction. A bill based upon the
House bill and the Senate amendments will
be reported, but no one expects final deter
mination Of the controversy until the latter
part Of tho session. An examination of wit
nesses on the Georgia corruption case--the
rascallties of Bullock and company-is pro-
crossing before the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee. The evidence shows that large
sum of money was used in making public
sentiment by publishing lying accounts in
the Radical papers of alleged outrages by
Conservative men in Georgia. 1t also
shows that efforts were made to corruptly
influence the votes of senator's against the
Bingham amendment.
