A Butcher

Another horrible deed has been per
petrated in the vicinity of Rheims, in
France. An assistant butcher, Garel,
twenty four, having been discarded by
his sweetheart on account of his lazy
and reprobate habits, happened to fall
in with another young woman, a factory
| girl, with whom he had kept company
before. He took her out into the corn
fields one evening lately to explain to
her the nature of the dispute, and to
make her the umpire Of his case. They
were seen by the harvesters walking
about the fields, and then lost sight of.
1t now appears that when Garel opened
his case, his new conJfdante said the other
girl (whom she did not know was quite
right in Diminishing him. The butcher
got more and more incensed, and
threatened with death the woman, who
unfinchingly stuck to her opinion about
the butchers dement's. All at once he
struck her powerfully on the head with
a stone which he had picked up a short
while before. When Sidonie Cauchy
THAT was her name) was thus hoored, a
perfect cannibal scene ensued. Garel
took his small pruning-knife, and with
butcher-like art severed the head from
the body, having, however, to raise the
corpse and break on his knee the spinal
cord. The monster then proceeded to
further horrors. He went to a wayside
tap-house half a mile off, where he
asked for twopennyworth of brandy
and beer. The woman, being alone, did
not venture a refusal, although she saw
he was covered with blood. Meanwhile
the publican came in, and being pressed
for explanations, the assassin gave him
the details of the horrible deed in er-
tense, expressing his desire to be taken
to the police station at Rheims, which
was at once complied with by a towns
man going that way with his gig. On
the road, however, Garel tried to break
loose, but was prevented by his spirited
guard. Garel has, it seems, owned
everything, and has described the de-
tails with the most brutal cynicism,
even insulting those who ventured a re.
proach. The girl was only twenty years
of age. Surely the rufians of France
excel in such murderous deviltry.
Trauppmann led the way, then the
Marseilles murderers followed, and now
we have this wretch.

A Willing Parent.

Dom Piatt writes from White Sui
phur Springs: "The paternal author of
the belle here, it is said, the other day,
shortly after his return to the Springs,

private, and began; Il was requested to
