The BODaparte Trial.
Tours, March 23-The High Court of JUS
tice opened this morning. Witnesses were
examined to prove that Fonville said
Victor Noir slapped the Prince in
the face. The lawyers for the prosecution
dwelt with effect on some grave contradic-
tons in the testimony.
A number of policemen testified to the
remarks made by FOnville after his arrest.
One Of the prosecuting lawyers created
sensation by declaring that the original re-
port of the police in the case was not to be
found. Only copy ten days later could
be produced. One witness swore he heard
Fonville exclaim that if his pistol had not
missed fire he would have shot the Prince.
This had effect on the spectators, who are
evidently leaning to the cause of Prince.
The witnesses for the prosecution were
then examined. NJ. Arnould testified that
Victor Noir had no intention of attacking
the accused when near his house.
ROChcfOrt on the Witness stand
Henri Roehefort was called as witness
for the prosecution. There was much agi-
tation among the spectators at the an
nouncement of his name. Rochefort en-
tered the courtroom accompanied by two
gendarmes and took his place on the wit
ness stand. He was pale but very calm.
He replied quietlyt to the interrogations, and
after repeating tho contents of the letter
sent him by the accused, which occasioned
the visit of Noir and Fonyille, he retired to
the bench reserved for journalists. Many
of the latter shook hands with him as he
took his seat.
The wife of Louis Noir, brother of Vic
tor Noir, was called to testify. She was
much excited, and said Victor Noir could
not have slapped the Prince because the
gloves on his hands were found intact.
Other witnesses corroborated the statement
of Arnould, that Noir did not intend to
quarrel with the Prince.
NJ. Morel, reporter for the M0Bitour,
testified that the witness who now swears
to Fonville's admission that Noir slapped
the Prince, did not say so at first.
NJ. Milliere and other witnesses testified
to the physical weakness of Victor Noir,
and the improbability of his striking the
Prince, as the defense alleged.
During an intermission of the court
many friends of Rochefort gathered around
him, when the gendarmes iaterfered, and
surrounding the prisoner, kept his friends
back.

certain passage Of the funding bill by the
House, the result being fall from 1929 TO

large bids for the Treasury gold having

Foreign Exchange and Cotton Bills
The position of the foreign exchange
market in consequence of its close connec-
ton with the price of gold and the foreign
trade of the country is a. present of much
importance A short time since our lead
ing bankers steadily lowered the quotations
for sixty days bills, which brought shout
a heavy decline in bills drawn against the
shipmG1sts Of American securities, cotton
and other produce This started very
bearish feeling among bankers in regard to
outside bills, and almost every one was
afraid to buy because they looked for much
lower rates, especially on cotton bills. A
leading firm noticed this and drew their
own bills with great freedom, and in addi-
ton it is stated made million dollars in !

market at per cent. per annum. 1t now |

Dr.. CHoAT, Superintendent of the State
Lunatic Hospital, at Taunton, Mass, in
his recent report gives some interesting
facts regarding the comparative insanity
of the sexes. He says that the excess
of insane women over insane men is be-
coming more and more marked. He does
not attribute it TO any greater liability to
the disease among women, but to the fact
that more lunatic men die. Men are made
insane by physical causes, while women
succumb to subtle moral influences not
easily reached by hospital treatment; not
threatening to life, but intractable and
not very well understood by the profess
sion.

BLEACHING Or DIsINFRCTrNG FEATHERS.
Clean the feathers first from greasy mat
ter, and then place them for three hours in
a dilute solution of bicromate of potassa, to
which small quantity of nitric acid has
been added. The feathers will become
greenish from deposit of chronic sesqui-
oxide, which is removed by weak sulphu-
rous acid, when the feathers are left per-
fectly white. The nascent oxygen deyel-
oped in the reduction of chronic acid to
the oxyde is, ofcourse, the bleaching agent,
and SO powerful is it that the darkest feath-
ers will become perfectly white. -E'schaRge

THE LAST THEFT.


From the Helena Chronicle
The notorious Sip Cameron made his
last escape from the peniteniiary at Little
Rock about the LIST of December last. In
July he was taken by the sheriff to the
penitentiary, and sentenced to five years
Imprisonment for larceny. He vas adroit
enough to slip through the guards the first
week and soon found his way to Helena.
He soon began his old trade, to.wit liv-
ing at the expense.of others, and broke into
the storehouse of c. M. Bumpass. He
was soon picked up by our vigilant police
and found his way back to the peniten-
tiary.
In December he bid adieu to Hodges
and his guards and returned to Phillips to
live on the charity of bis former associ-
ates. Our Sheriff was soon apprised of
the exit of this adyenturer, and informs
usthat he has been trying to capture him
ever since; twice run him out of the coun-
ty, and caused him to leave Tunica coun-
ty and seek refuge in the swamp of Goa
homa- He would occasionally cross the
river at night to see his wife in this coun-
ty-who at this time is cooking for Mrs.
Rabb, eight miles below Helena. of this
the Sheriff was informed. He at once
gave to Henry G. and ]. w. Rabb, who
are nice gentlemen and have the conf
dence of the community, orders and in
structions to take him and deliver him to
the Sheriff's office.
On Saturday night last they were on the
lookout for the desperate; about twelve
o'clock they discovered fire under the
large and commodious clearinghouse of
the family. They soon extinguished all
appearance of he flame and discovered
this villain-this pillager-sccreted under
the house in the dark. They demanded
him to surrender; he made no reply, but
made his way out on his all-fours as rap
idly as possible. About ten steps from
the house they fired simultaneously upon
him. He fell to the ground, shot through
the head and hip, and died Sunday even
ing. Thus ended the career of this most
noted scoundrel. Sip leaves no one to Ia
mcnt his sad fate, while the Rabb boys
are entitled to, and should receive the
thanks, of the entire community
