DEMONIAcAL
Awful Scenes Ia the LztIa Quarter Of
Paris.

A balloon letter from Paris during
the bOmbardment, written in a wine
cellar in the Latin quarter, says:
We are crOWding together in thick
darkness, for the Iantern-light which
falls upon this paper scarcely carries
its feeble rays so far as the edges of the
table on which 1t shines. We have
imprOvised a weak bOmb-prOOf by
pllng sacks upon sacks, al
ready filed with earth some
weeks ago, upon the pavement
above the arches Of the Celler. a
grocer was, as near as can be ascer-
tanned, the very first civilian killed
by the bOmbardment. He was in front
OF his store, preparing TO close it,
when a huge shell pumped down and
blew of half of his head. He was at
once dressedOut for burial, and it was
announced by word Of mouth every
where that he would be at home to re-
ceive visitors at any hour between the
days Of his death and that of his
burialHeWas displayed for the special
benefit Of any Of US who, after a hun
dred days Of starvation, might still
lack gall enOuge to make oppression
bitter. He Was useful to that end.
But I am afraid Of disgusting YOU
utterly. i could tel you Of scenes of
real devilmsnt that took place in that
chamber In the Rue GreneIle when
his body was displayed, Of hungry
Wretches drunk with fury and with
wine whirling in dances Of de-
spair, more awful than could
be any realization Of the pic
tured dance Of death. We are all
going mad. They are bOmbarding
the Boulevard st. Michael, as YOU
know. The boulevard is nearly as
crowded now as it has been any day
since the siege. Men with their eyes
fixed on the ground, and muttering-
sheer mOnOmaniacs-aTe walking to
and fro, like Gagged tigers, from the
to the Luxembourg Garden,
only pausing every now and then to
their fists at the stars. Ever
and anon a splinter strikes a mailman
and his corpse lies there for the living
10 stumble over till it comes to their
turn. Madness has brought these
Wretches out of their cellars, and it
win keep most of them there in the
open air until they die. Death sinks
some of them or dallies with them by
sending them some frightful and tor
uentiug wound. One fellow was
four feet Of a shell when it
burst; no single scrap Of iron had
touched him, butthe flame had burned
bis eyes out, and he stood sightless
and hsyed. There arose when this
vas seen a great cry of widest despair
rom the crowd whom horror had at
irst frozen into statues, but a greater
horror had CONCEALED into men. Some
have il that we were betrayed,
md they were for short shrjft for Du-
rot and Schmidt. TrOchu bimselfWa
be torn 10 pieces. Twenty stood
Iorth in a twinkling, ready for work,
md went about begging Of bystaDders
pocket knife, or anything with
life could be taken. They were
Don WeapOBed, and were tearing of
do it, when their attention was
Inverted by another explosion.

MURDER.
A Case for tee Congressional Smslllns
Committee.

From the Benton CuL) STANDARD, Feb. q
We are informed from a reliable
source that on Monday nightlast, the
5Oth Ult., about s O'Clock. Mr.. George
Brown a respectable citizen of Beau
coup precinct, in Perry county, was
IOully murdered at his home, by his
DrOther-ln-laW, named Marion De-
woody. 1t seems that DeWOodv and
ayOung man named Bob Eden went
70 Plnckneyville, together, on that
day, on horseback, and while there
INDUCED freely in whisky, and in q
state Of IntOxicatiOn, in the evening
returned to the residence OF 81
Brown, where DeWCody and his wife
had been residing for several weeks
and hitchiDg their horses at the cate
went into the house. They had been.
in but afeW minutes, when some words
passed betWee DeWOOdy and Brown in
reference TO a small sum of money the
former had borrowed from the latter.
In the course Of the conversation
DswOOdy called Mr.. Brown a liar.
then Brown ordered him to leave the
house, but be refusing to 60, BroWa
took up q chair to compel hiua bat
the family interfering, Brown put the
chair down, went out Of the house,
followed By DeWOO6y and Eden, and,
as they Went out at the door, Eden
was observed handing DeWOOdy some
thing Ike a knife, at the same time
saying, Now 90 fOT the id son Of
g b-h!' Just a they stepped out
side the door DewoOdy stabbed Brown
IN the breast, when be sank down
and instantly expired without utter
ing a word. The mUrderers at once
mounted their horses and fed. and up
TO present writing have not been cap
tUred. Parties are in hot pursuit, on
their trail, and it is 70 be hoped that
they will be speedily Overtaken ia
their flight and be brought 10 iustice.
Mr.. George Brown, the murdered
man, was a steady, Industrious, quiet, /

MEMPHIS APPEAL
OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CITY.
THURSDAY RORNINs, : FEB. 9, I87I

MANY Democrats could not account
for Senator Blair's first vote in the
Senate, which was cast in opposition
10 his party on the income tax. We
see the vote explained upon the
ground that Blair's constituency in
Missouri are composed for the most
part Of farmers and tillers Of the soil,
who return no income and pay no
tax, like the same class in every other
State Of the Union. The income tax
Is regarded in Missouri and in all the
Western States as a tax upon the capi-
talists and manufactures Of the East
ern States, whom they think can
afford TO pay that much toward the
equalization Of taxes upon the people
generally. Blair, therefore, voted
with his constituency.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
A MAN literally Roasted Alive

Shortly after o'clock this morning, Mr. Chas.
Dutilh, residing at No. 81 s. Broad street, was
aroused from his slumbers by an alarm of fire.
Perceiving strong odor of burning wood, he
proceeded to the rear of the house, and throw
ing open the shutters of a window, he saw the
upper portion of his stable in flames. By this
time the police of the Fifth district had arrived,
and by their eXertons three valuable horses,
three carriages, and lot of harness were saved
from the flames. The flremen were also prompt
in responding to the alarm, and confined the FIRE
to the upper story alone. Soon the startling
announcement was made that a human being
was in the midst of the fiery furnace into which
the haY-loft had by this time been converted.
All efforts to save him were fruitless and when
the fire was eXtinguished naught remained but
a mass of charred remains, which was barely
recognizable as having ever beenshuman.
Alderman Massey, acting Coroner, this morn
ing held an investigation of the matter. From
the testimony ELECTED, it appears that the de-
ceased, Charles McDermott aged % years,
coachman in the employ of Mr.. Dutilh, was in
the habit of sleeping in the hayloft over the
stable, where he had bed. Last night he came
home shortly before IL o'clock, and, taking a
lighted candle, retired to his quarters in the
loft. 1t is supposed the unfortunate man laid
down upon the bed, and unconsciously dropped
asleep, leaving his candle burning, which in
time set fire to the bedding and thus caused the
confagration. The body presented horrible
sight the flesh having been burned entirely
from the body, and in some places the bones
even were reduced to a cinder.
