The Louisville Journal relates the following incident which recently took place in the Cir cult Court:
 The trial of Jack Johnson for rape had just been concluded. and the prisoner discharged on the motion of he Commonwealth attorney, Mrs. Louisa Henry, the chief witness, a white woman having failed to stiIy m such man ner as to fasten the crime upon her ravisher, hough there was little doubt of his guilt. Mrs Henry had gone into the witness room to claim her attendance fee, when the negro came in and laughed in her face. She immediately drew a pistol from under her apron, and, pushing it square into his facs frsl The negro antici- pated her just in time to dodge but the powder burned his face and the ball made little round hole in his big 6ushy wool The affair created a momentary panic in the court room, but the excitement was soon quelled by the Sheriff.

PLASTER AND IT'S Uses. -Plaster in the
different branches of science is known by
different names. In the arts it is plas-
ter; in mineralogy it is gypsum; ia
chemistry it is sulpbate Of lire. Sul
phuric acid has an affinity for ammonia.
and when it finds ammonia it breaks up
itspartnership with the lime and combines
with the ammonia, forming sulphate Of
ammonia, 'aad this is non-volatile. The
lime finds cea1panion when deserted by
the acid, in carbonic acid, forming car
Donate of lime. Hence it will be seen
that when the farmer has ammonia in soil,
put there by himself immature, or many
other manner, liable to waste, the plaster
will fix it there, and in all such eases it
can be applied to the ground withspre6t.
The odor about stables and manure heaps
is escaping ammonia, and the farmer can
judiciously use little plaster in both
places, saving the ammonia for his land.

his own emotion, tried to soothe her, and
leading her to chair, made her sit down,
and in broken voice, said.
''Hush, Hortense, these words are I'M
worthy Of you and me. Poor Paul, he is

He stopped. his tears suffocating Kim
."Because he trusts US, sneyer wild de-

surely kill me-"
As Emile uttered these words, their
eyes met, and they felt, as it were, an
electric shock 10 that one glance. Death
appeared to them as the refuge open to
them as place Of rest and of expiration.
Hortense was the first to speak, and
resuming the thoughts that had accumula-

name, but stopped.

Hortense arose calmly. and answered
firmly, Eyes, at ouce !" And falling in
each others arms, they silently and fer
yently embraced.
Early the next morning. the letter car
rier brought registered letter directed
to Emile, bearing the postmark of St.
Petersburg. He RING the bell, knocked
at the door. and not receiving an answer
concluded that Emile had gone out, and
was just about to withdraw, when ono OF
the neighbors told him that Emile was in.
They rang the bell again AID again, but
10 answers came. The porter being ques-
toned, related that on the previous eve
ming, Emile had gone out to buy some

remembered having seen Eortense looking
out of the window and crying bitterly.
1t began now to be whispered that trag-
edy had taken place in the house, and
word was sent to the nearest police station.
At the arrival Of the proper authorities,
the door Of Emi!e's room was broken open,
and their worst fears were realized.
Hortense was stretched upon tie bed,
Emile on the sofa, both apparently dead.
Medical assistance was soon on the spot,
but alas it was too late to save poor
Emie-he vas dead Hor G lsc, after
long and strenuous Efforts of the doctors,

ger.
Before leaving her, the magistrate WHO
had presided ct tie inquest held over

arrived. It read as follows:

On hearing the texture of this letter,
Hortense took it from the magistrate, and
inning to the sofa, held it up before the
inanimate form of Emile, exclaimiug:
