Tie Execution OF Nremienx.

| Cast CrepGeuX, who was shot on
Thursday, Nov, 80, at Marseilles, was
a barrlster, pracucing in that town.
He was OF Jewish family, married,
with two children. A fluent speaker.
| lie was a frequent orator at public
clubs, and he was also contributor to
| ultra democratic papers. In Septem-
Der last, he was one of the leaders of
the mob which took possession of the
Hotel de Vile, and proclaimed the
| Commune OF Marseilles, but that move
ment was suppressed, and be was con-
demned by court-martial to four
months imprisonment. Soon after.
fresh disorders occurred, and be regain
ed his liberty, OF which he availed him
self to seek for employment under
Gambetta, who, however, looked but
coldly upon him. He resumed his ora
tions IN the clubs, and on the 18Th of
March he assumed the direction of the
Commune OF Marseilles In the bloody
struggle which followed, Cremieux
took an active part, and two days after
the restoration OF order he was captur-
ed while attempting to escape He was
tried by court martial, and with three
other leaders of the Communications
ne, Pelissler, and Roux, was condemn
ed to death; but in his case alone has
the sentence been executed. Upon be-
ing informed that the fatal hour had ar
rived, he replied, Il will show how
man dies" After having arranged his
papers he was taken to the Fort St.
Nicolas. When he arrived there he
asked to be allowed a few minutes to
finish piece of poetry. and then re-
quested the rabbi who attended him, to
bog friend to complete theatrical
play which he had partly written.
Upon reaching the place of execution
he firmly placed himself against the
stake, and, taking off his coat, unfast-
ened his shirt, faced the firing party,
exclaiming, "Fire Vive ya Repu5-!''
He had not completed the word when
he fell corpse

An Indiana Woman Charged wit!

An Indiana Woman Charged with
REASONING Two Husbands.
The Evansville lind Courier Of the
18th ssys: Our readers will perhaps
remember that several months ago y
Mr.. Bachelor, Of Rockport, died under
such circumstances as to induce the
belief that he had been poisoned. At
ter his burial the corpse was disinterred
and the stomach sent to Louisville for
analyzat1on. A careful analysis, by a
skillful chemist, gave evidence of the
presence of arsenic in the stomach, and
certain suspicious circumstances which
came to light resulted in the arrest Of
his widow upon charge of producing
his death by means OF the administra-
ton of the poisonous drug. Mrs.
Bachelor IS now awaiting her trial up
on this charge.
At the time of Mr.. Bachelors mar
rage with the prisoner she was a widow
Sharpe. 1t has recently been suggest
ed that her first husband died under
suspicious circumstances, and 80 strong
has the suspicion grown that during
the past week tie body was exhumed,
and the stomach taken out with the in
tention of subjecting it to an analysis
similar to that made in the case of Mr..
Bachelor. The examination is to be
made by the Evansville Medical Col
lege, and for this purpose the stomach
of the deceased was brought to the city
yesterday by Capt. Adams, of the
steamer Ament. and turned over to the
medical faculty. The investigation by
the surgeons in charge viii be looked
for with much interest.

was obliged to flee with the officers for
his life. They took refuge on board
the british ship Camadre. and were
thus enabled to escape from the port in
small schooner under the convoy of
the z. M, S. S. Go steamer Constitu-
ton. The consular flags of Consul De

brought off in safety, as also the arch
ives and papers of the federal custom

Shooting the Wrong Hens.

A person in q passion very often
jumps at conclusions suddenly.
q say, Neighbor Snobs, if you don't
keep your hens out of my garden,
will shoot them"
Very well, Dooittle, shoot away
only if you kill any OF my hens throw
them into my yard. :"
Crack went the fowling piece, morn
ing after morning, and large fat hens
were pitched into Neighbor Snobs
yard. They cooked well. After q
fortnight or so, Doolittle discovered
that Snebs never had any hens, and he
had been shooting his own, they having
broken out of his own coop.
IT is now said that Miss Kellogg will
not go to San Francisco.

4 RUNAWAY I.ngiue.

Some time since was recorded the
unusual incident of a runaway train.
A very similar accident has occurred
on an English road An engine stand
ing on the Monmouthshire railway, near
Newport, was being cleaned, when the
fireman perceiving a tain approaching
from behind, and that collision was
Inevitable, jumped off, It is coniect-
ured that the force of the blow opened
the valve, and started the Locomotive.
Between the point Of departure and
the Waterloo junction, where u was
finally arrested, are no less than fifteen
gates. Through every one of these the

A NOVEL FESTIvAL.-Last spring the
superintendent of Sunday School in
a town near Boston gave each scholar
twelve kernels of corn, telling them to
plant them, and the proceeds ut bar-
vesting We're to go toward charging

corn from the twelve kernels. The corn
having ripened, the time was set for the
festival; each member brought his or
her bundle OF corn to the Town Hall.
where large number OF friends had
gathered, Notwithstanding the evening

awarded to James \. Hewes, as the one

mind it was but YESTERDAY
The sun was dim, the air was chill
Below the town, below the hill,
The sails of my sons ship did fill
My Jacob, who was cast away.
He said, God keep you, mother DEAR"
But did not trn to kiss his wife;
They had some foolish, idle strife;
Her tongue was like two-edged knife
And he proud as any peer.
Howbeit that night took no note
OF sea nor sky, for all was drear
l marked not that the hills looked near,
Nor that the moon, though curved and clear,
Through curd-lke scud did drive and font.
For with my darling went the Joy
OF autumn woods and meadows brown
I came to hate the little town;
It seemed as If the sun went down
With him, my only darling boy.
1t was the middle of the night
The wind it shifted west-by-south;
1t piled high up the harbor mouth;
The marshes, black with summer drouth,
Were all abroad with sea-foam white.
1t was the middle of the night
The sea upon the garden leapt,
And my sons wife in quiet slept,
And I, his mother, waked and wept,
When 10 there came sudden light
All wet and dripping seemed to be;
The pale tlue fires of the sea
Dripped from his garms nts constantly
could not speak through coVardness.
"a come through night and storm, " he said:
Through storm and night and death, said he,
"TO kiss my wife, if it 80 be
That strife still holds 'tHixt her and me,
For all beyond is Peace, " he said.
"The sea is His and He who sent
/ The wind and waves can soothe their strife;
| And brief and foolish is our life."
| He stopped and kissed his sleeping wife,
| Then sighed, and, like dream, he went
| Now, when my darling kissed not me,
| But her-his wife-who did not wake,
My heart within me seemed to break
| l swore vow! nor henceforth spahe
| OF what my clearer eyes did see.
And when the slow weeks brought him not,
! Somehow he spoke of augnt beside;
For she, her hopes upheld her pride;
| And 1, III me all hope had died,
And my son passed as if forgot.
It was about the next spring-tide,
| She pinned and faded where she stood;
Yet spake word OF i'll or goo :;
| She had the hard, cold Edwards blood
| In ali her veins,-and SO she died.

Progress OF the New German Eject.

The semi-officlal North German Ga
zette prints an interesting report on
1.-THE present condition of the naval
establishment Of the Empire" Such
progress rs has been made during the
last few months it considers almost I'M
precedented in history The war har-
Dor on the Jahde Las been made acces-
sible to vessels Of the heaviest draught
since December last, and there are now
excellent docks capable Of receiving
the largest men-Ot-War. The naval sta
ton at Wilhelmshayen has been com
plete for some months, and has
absorbed the smaller provisional
establishments at Geestemunde and
otralsund. The harbor at EIlerbeck,
near Liel, is not yet completed, but is
making rapid progress. The fortifca-
ton works at the various ports have
been pushed on with energy. Vii
helmshaveD has turned out a new iron
clad advice-ship Lovely, to be soon
followed by the lron-clad frigate Great
Eiector, one OF the largest vessels of
the German navy. A ship Of the same
size and design, Frederick the Great, is
IN construction ut Ellerbeck, and a
third is being built by a private COM
pany at Settin. The engines tor these
vessels are to be constructed by Ger
man makers. The corvette
Ariadne, and the advice ships
Albatross and Nautilus, are ali
but completed at DantSic; a second cor
vettee of the Ariadne class, Louise, is
III a less advanced stage reconstruction,
and orders have been given for two 9th
ers, and also for more 8Unboats. Two
vessels manned by cadets are crossing
