The harmless crazy woman who has
been confined in the parish Jail for
some time was allowed to take little
walk in front of the Court House the
other day, and in absence Of mind, We
suppose, she walked off so far that she
has not been able to get back since.
No one seems to care whether she
ever "takes the back track" or not.

effects of being bled while suffering

that nine cases out of ten will prove

A Grenada Bluebeard.

Half century ago, q Jewish merchant,
Isaac Pedro Corne,. lived at Grenada.
Spain, in house built at the base of q
lofty rock. He devoted himself to marry
ing and making money, and succeeded so
well in both that he amassed q large for
tune, and took unto himself seven wives Z
not polyaamouslv but in succession, as
one after the other was transferred from
his arms to the grave It was his habit
to bury his spouses at nigi.t and unattend-
ed. 1t was probably this fact that caused
the suspicious that finally drove him from
the city. He married again twice. and,
finally, having buried his nine wives, he
was buried himself at Vera Cruz, IN 1850.
His sons are, said to be now living, in
America. His story had well-nigh been
forgotten in'Grenada; when, "a few weeks
since, some workmen, employed in repair
mg' hisold house discovered asubtsrranean
passage 195 l,5t long by p feet wide, at
the end of which were seyen female skele-
tons. Medical experts say that they must

Judge Melton.

It was more than intimated at the
late term of our Circuit Court. that
Herewith terminated our official re-
lations with the gentleman who for
nearly two years, has welded the im,s
portant powers over the lives, liber-
ties and fortunes of the people, en-
trusted to the Circuit Judge. In
these days Of degeneracy, when the
vocabulary of censure isjezhapsted in
the vain attempt to express the pub
lie sense of wrong and outrage under
the inAiction of incompetent and cor
rupt officials Of evety grade, it, is a
pleasure te, ,bs able to write a hearty
"wellddnes iof iany-oficer to whom
it is justly due.
We think we. express the sentiment
of the people ard the Bar, when we
say, that the official career of Judge
Melton has been, marked bys rare
ability ,sdikni; i diligence and cous-
tesy, which renders it q matter of
profound regret that the limited ten
ure and insufficient emoluments of the
position, rendered other posts more
attractive to one possessing those high
qualifications fer the Judicial Office
which are Judge Melton's.
In the new field which he seeks to
enter, should he succeed, Judge Mel
ton will have an opportunity of de-
monstrating the integrity t!y,. OF his rs pur,
poses and his eminentabllltles. Should
he solve heintricate problem of State

THE DEFEAT OF HARRY BAssETT.
1t has aforementioned by telegraph
that the celebrated racer, Harry Bas-
sett, the. rival Of Longfellow, was
beaten at Prospect Park, New York.
ON Saturday, by. Monarehist, owned
by NJ. H. Sanford. This was a most
unexpected result, as the odds were
extravagantly in favor Of Bassett.
The race was q dash of three miles,
ana very exciting. ii drawing for,
places Monarchist had the inside, but
Bassett got the best of the start by a:
full length. At the quarter pole ihey
were head and head, but Bassett soon
|. got the lead, and coming up the
Stretch they seemed to move almost
with the speed of the wind. The
faster Bassett ran the closer Mon
archist seemed TO hang to him., and
at the finish of the first mile, which
vas run in l AS, Bassett only led
three-quarters Of alength. The neSt
mile was almost repetition of the
first, but entering the stretch Mon,
archist was still only a neck behind
the fsvorite, and when again they
came up the stretch both were going
more slowly, and they passed the
stand, >having run the two miles in
s :S7!. As they passed the stand the
general opinion was that Monarchist
was running the fastest, and that If
he only stuck to his work he would
win Bassett, however, kept the lead
until we'll into the straight, when the
whip was applied to 2 Monarehist, 9 and
he came up even with Bassett, amidst
the greatest excitement. Monarchist
came home the winner by twolengths,
in b.34t.| On returning Stq weigh
neither horse appeared tosbe'distress-
ed-Monarcbist certainly was not,
while Bassett cantered away to his
stable. The scene at the finish was
one of the greatest excitement. all
present, feven' some of the losers
shouting themselves hoarse.
