tion and robbery which, as the Republicans

tained by the Federal Government, is alone
responsible.

A Curious Chapter of Crime.


The Lima correspondence of the Pan
anna Star and Herald says: Gen. Mel
garejo, ex-President and former Dlcta-
tor of Bolivia, was assassinated in Lima
on the evening of Nov. 3D. There has
been much illfeeling between Mclga-
reio and his son-in-law, Gen. Jose Au-
relic Sanchez, also an exile residing in
Lima Melgarejo had made violent
threats against Sanchez, and their friends
were apprehensive of a fatal meeting.
On that night Melgarejo, under the in
fluence of liquor, purchased revolver
in the Gale de Plate, loaded it in the
presence of the seller, and proceeded to
the house of Sanchez. The alarm, how
ever, had been given, and the General
found the doors all secured against
him. Furious with rage he rushed
down an alleyway at the side of the
house to force an entrance from the
rear, but to no purpose. At this juno.
ture the ladies of the family escaped
through the front door, and Sanchez,
who had been confined to a sick bed for
several days, arose hastily, put on few
articles of clothing and ran to the front
door just in time to meet Melgarejo
face to face. Sanchez waited for no
parley or explanation, but fired. The
ball struck him full in the forehead,
passing through the brain. Sanchez
fired again, this time the bullet enter
ing the neck and severing the wind
pipe. Melgarejo fell to the ground.
The bystanders and two or three police
men who had remained passive specta-
tors of the scene, carried BIN with all
possible haste to neighboring drug
gist's. Physicians were Immediately in
attendance, and while trey were allevi-
ating his material condition, priest
who had been summoned was admins
tering the last rites of the church.
Melgarejo died two hours afterward.
Sanchez gave himself up to the police,
and has been committed for trial.
"The origin of the quarrel was Pc
culiar. Meigarejo was enamored with
the sister of Sanchez, and for several
years she had been his mistress. Her
great influence over the General was
soon apparent. Melgarejo gave his
daughter in marriage to Sanches, and
soon another sister of the murderer was
married TO the soon Of the victim. As
long as Melgarejo was victorious and
prosperous the Sanchez family were
true as STEEL but when his fortunes
failed they turned against him as his
enemies. The woman Sanchez de-
camped with large quantity of valua
bles belonging to the General, and he,
being reduced to poverty, had been en-
deavoring to receiver them. This led
to lawsuit and to the assassination"

there was an assembly at her house, and
she was sitting at the whist table, when
one of her footmen entered, with evil
dent signs of terror, sayin the officers
of justice desired to speak with her
Madame rose from her seat without be-
trayin9 the slightest agitation, grace
fully apologized for the interruption,
and Quilted the room, saying she would
return Immediately.
But she came not. The company sat
with cards in hands several minutes
elapsed, when servant appeared at the
door and announced that his mistress
had been taken to prison. No reason
was assigned, but the guests instantly
departed, of course, in admirable con-
fusion. The particulars, as they alter
ward came out, were as follows:
One of the servants, Benjamin Klein,
had complained of being unwell, and
Madame Ursinus had given him broth.
He grew worse, and she administered
rice milk. Suffering extreme pain, she
bought him some plums, which, instead
Of eating, he concealed, took to an
apothecary, and was told they were
stuffed with arsenic. Upon this the
lady was arrested 1t came out upon
the trial that she always kept arsenic
upon her person; that her husband, her
aunt, and her lover, who had refused to
marry her, had all died suddenly, and
that two Of her servants, upon whom
she had personally attended, after mani
Testing similar spasms to those OF Klein,
had both died.
The proof, however, was insufficient
to establish the charge of murder.
Klein did not die, but for the attempt
upon his life she was sentenced to per-
petual Imprisonment in the fortress Of
Glatz. Madame Ursinus lived to great
age, and at length died, in 1886, in the
odor of sanctity. A long train of car
riages followed the hearse. The church
yard could hardly contain the assem-
bled crowd; orphans sung songs over
her grave, and the poor strewed her
coffin with flowers. She died without
confessing her crimes, and the motive
for committing them has always re-
NAMED mystery.

Children'S Arms.

A distinguished Paris physician says:
I" believe that, during the twenty years

thousand children have been carried to

custom of exposing their arms. Put
the bulb of a thermometer into a
baby's mouth, and the mercury rises to
ninety degrees. Now carry the same

and the evening cool, the mercury will
sink to fifty degrees. OF course all the
blood that flows through these arms
must fall from ten to forty degrees be-
low the temperature Of the heart. Need

BuffalOes i'm the Great Storm.

A correspondent writing of the late
terrible snow-storm along the line of the
Pacific railroad, says The train was
ca lght in hank-it could neither back
nor go ahead. The wires were tapped
and dispatches sent to different quarters
for men and shovels. While the train
was waiting the buffaloes gathered from
the plains to the lee side for shelter. If
any one felt disposed he might from his
seat in the car, pop them over with his
revolver-the rest would not move
they could not be driven away by en-.
CINE whistling or human voice, but
crowded their shaggy sides close up to
the cars and there stood with bowed
heads for the storm TO pass. Many
were seen to fall down in their tracks,
dead from cold, and when at last the
train was dug out and moved off, the
track was lined with these huge, shaggy,
frozen carcasses. We think robe a
luxury in wnter-so it is. Imagine the
severity of the weather when the ami
NAL who furnishes the robe freezes to
to death under his natural protection.

The Illinois Levee.

The Hannibal Courier states that con-
siderable progress has been made in the
preparations for constructing levee,
commencing at a point seven or eight
miles above Hannibal, upon the Illinois
side, and following the river bank to a
distance of over 81 miles from the place
of beginning-which great enterprise,
when completed, will reclaim for agri-
cultural purposes over 100000 acres Of
land now rendered almost useless by
reason of the annual overflow of the
Mississippi river. 1t is proposed to con-
struct this levee high enough to exclude
the water from the river in rise even
as high as that in 185l-the highest of
which there is any record. The land to
be thus reclaimed is probably not worth,
III its present condition, over S. per
acre, upon an average. But reclaimed
and devoted to agricultural purposes
it will be almost impossible to overesti-
mate its value, since its fertility is mex
haustible, and its productiveness almost
unequalled by any tract of soil of equal
extent, upon the continent. Fifty dol.
lars per acre would be very low esti.
mate for an average price, while 500 or
even 5000 per acre for those portions
located near the market centers would
not appear an eXtravagant estimate.

managed to make it square with them.

An AnecdOte OF the Freedmen's Bureau
i'm Tennessee.
A contrihutor to the

A contributor to the Washington
Capital furnishes the following:
Soon after Gen. Fisk took charge of
the Bureau in Tennessee he visited
Spring Hill, Maury county, TO address
the people, as was his custom, and set
forth his plans and explain his inten-
tons. An immense crowd gathered to
hear the Generals speech, and his plans
seemed to be highly satisfactory, es-
pecially that portion in which he de-
clared it to be the duty of every man
to take care of his own family and give
them as good a support as possible.
AT the close of the Generals address
ne said he would answer any questions
and make any further explanations de-
sired. Thereupon certain lord of the
land-we will call him McK-an elderly
man, formerly large STAKEHOLDER, and
then lately married to young and
sprightly lady-arose, and asked the
General if he understood him to de-
clare that colored man who had lived
with woman as though married to her,
and was the father Of children by her,
was bound TO maintain her and her
children. Certainly" answered the
General, " it is clearly his duty"
Well" replied Mr.. Mex. II employ
man SO situated, pay him good wages,
furnish him a comfortable house, but
he won't support his family, and am
compelled to do it or let them starve."
a." That is all wrong" responded the
General, in decided tones.

the crowd, "wait mint. specks

Shouts of laughter greeted this turn
of affairs, and Marse Mex. did not
press the question.
