BLUNDERs OF THE TELEGRAPH.

The telegraph sometimes makes strange
blunders. A message was lately received
at the Monastery of Voreppe, in France, as
follows: "Father Luguier is dead; we shall
arrive by train at three Tomorrow" The
good monks Immediately prepared grave
for the deceased, and sent hearse to the
station to meet the body. But when the
train stopped, to the great astonishment of
the sorrowing monks, out jumped Father
Liguier and friends. The dispatch had been
changed from 'Pere Liguier ct moi" "Fa-
Their Liguier and I" into "Pere Liguier est
mort" "Father Lighter is dead" A sim
liar blunder occurred in announcing the
accidental death of Monsieur Delaunay at
Cherbourg, recently, in which the message
was made to read he was drowned, ''with
three other persons, Messrs. Canot, Chavire
and Bourrasque. The original dispatch
ran, 'avec trois autres. Canot chavire
bourrasque," which should have been rem
dered, "with three others. Boat capsized in
a squaIl." As the dispatch was given to
the papers, however, it was as absurd as if
stated in English, 'swith three others,
Messrs. Boat, Capsize and Squall.

SELLING MAcKEREL IN SMALL PACK
AeEs.-Mr. Isaac Hale, jr., of Newbury-
port, has established method Of selling
mackerel which might be followed to good
advantage by our vessel owners. He has
the best of the catch nicely cleaned and the
blood thoroughly soaked from them on
board the vessel soon after they are caught.
Then they are sailed and packed in barrels
with great care. Upon their arrival in port
he has them repscked into half barrels,
quarter barrels and kits. In this way be
disposes of a large quantity, gets q fair
price, and by bis care in putting them up
furnishes an article which are so much adj
mired that his sales thus far this year have
trebled over that of last. The quality is
what is wanted, and to have them free from
any strong taste, which would be insured
by careful cleaning and packing.

Yesterday liberal gentleman of our

Alabama cotton Crop.

A subscriber at Cropwell, st. Clair coun-

in eight days ago, we had the most hatter-
ing prospect for cotton crop that We have
had since the war, but the caterpillar has
taken to it, and the crop is bound to be cut
off one half. Forward ridge lands will not
be injured so much, but the low fiat lands
will nearly ali be cut of. Some fields now
look like they had been burnt over. The
corn crop is very good"

The Woman I'm Black.
LAURA d. FAIR, THE CALIFORNIA NURDH
ONCE MORE ON TRIAL FOR HER CRIME

LAURA ID. FAIR, THE CALIFORNIA MURORREss,
ONCE MORE ON TRIAL FOR HER CRIME-HEg
APPEARANCE IN COURT.
After months OF delay the second trial OF
Laura ID. Fair, for the murder of A. p. Grit
tenden, began yesterday in the 18th district
court, Judge L. b. Reardon presiding. As is
usual whenever this case is called, an immense
crowd was gathered i'm the courtroom which
shows that public interest in the result is ia no
wise ahated.
Mrs. Fair entered the courtroom at 10 O'Clock,
under escort of a deputy sheriff, and took seat
by her counsel. n. Greene Curtis and Judge
Quint, by both OF whom she was cordially greet
ed. As She came in the crowd made passage
way, through which she walked with firm step.
She was dressed, as usual, in deep black-plack
fix dress, black hat and veil, ana black gloves
Everything was black except h0r face, which
was as white as PariaB marble. Her golden
curls trailed down through the folds Of her
sombre veil, and seemed like rays of sunlight
streaming through a blackened cloud. She
seated herself at the lawyers table, and rest
ing her he ad on her hand, seemed lost in q
sad, Fad reyerie. In the opening proceedings
she took no interest whatever. She sat
with her eyes on the floor, and only lift
ed them when her counsel turned TO her
TO make some remark. Her veil was kept
down closely over her face, and her fea-
lures were almost entirely hidden from the
eager, curious gaze of the crowd. Later in the
day, when the names Of the Jurors were called,
she manifested q slight degree Of interest, but
when, one after another, they were excused be-
cause they entertained opinions, she seemed TO
gather from the circumstance q knowledge OF
how little sympathy there was in the cold, hard
faces about her. For q while she listened, but
soon sank back in her chair, evidently disheart
ened and depressed. Once she smiled when lis
tening TO the questioning of an idiot, who was
on the stand under examination as to his quail
incstions To sit on the jury, but IL was sicklv
mournful smile, and passed away as quickly a.
sitting apart from the prominent actress In
tne scene was another older lady. She too. was
a aytired IN plack and looked sad and sorrowful.
DIS was the mother of Mrs. Fair. She had
latter entered she did not notice her. Neither
SPOKE TO the other, and both sat apart silent and
aIone: In the afternoon Mrs. Lane again en-.
ssleo me court, but Judge Quint went up to her
ana was seen no more. After this Mrs. Fair was
left entireiy alone with her counsel-Saa Praa-
cisco Chronicle, Sept. 10.
