A Queer Retribution.

The 0pelousas La.) journal, of the
10Th, is responsible for the following !:
"Down in the Parish of st. Martin an old
widow lady, whose children had all married
off and left her alone, had been persuaded
to sell her little place and live with them.
She sold her land, buildings and improve
ments one day for $4,000, and received
the money in cash on the spot, in her own
house, where the act of sale was passed
before two witnesses, the number required
by law, and who witnessed also the paying
Of the money. In short time she was
to give possession, but she remained in
the house the night following the sale, all
alone, or with no masculine adult inmates,
as was her custom. That night two negro
burglars broke into the house and demand
ed her money or her life. She gave it to
them, but begged them to let her have one
hundred dollars of it, as she owed that
amount, and wanted to pay the debt, when
she would be satisfied. They finally con-
sented to let her keep the one hundred
dollars. They then ordered her to make
some strong coffee for them to drink. In
doing SO, she bethought herself Of some
strychnine she had in the house, and
quietly dropped it in the pot of steaming
coffee, and placed it on the table with
cups, spoons, and sugar for them to pour
out and swcetcn to their taste. This they
did, aud drank in jolly mood, each one
having nine hundred and fifty dollars in
his pocket. But in few minutes the
tables were turned. One gave up the
ghost where he sat at the table in his
chair, and the other got up, staggered off
a few feet, and tumbled into eternity.
The good old lady recovered her money,
and on examining the person Of the black
burglarious robbers, they turned out 10 be
the two witnesses to the act Of sale, both
white men blackened for the OCCASION
both her neighbors, and one was her eou-

TO WHEAT GROWERS.
EXCELSIOR"

Forming the most concentrated, universal and
durable fertilizer ever offered TO the farmers
combining all the stimulating qualities Of Pc
ruvian Guano, and the ever durable fertilizing
properties Of Bones Excelsior is in fine dry
powder, prepared expressly for drilling, and
can be applied in any quantity, however small
per acre and it is the opinion Of many close
calculating Farmers, after FOURTEEN years
experience in testing it side by side with other
popular fertilizers, that an application Of 100
pounds Of Excelsior is equal to from 200 to
300 pounds Of any other fertilizer or guano
offered for sale, therefore is fully 100 to 200
per cent. cheaper.
p@- Look out for limitations and counter
feits. The popularity of Excelsior has in
duced INSCRIPTIONS parties in this and other
cities to copy our trade mark, and Nresort to
other dishonorable means to sell their ,coyfh-
less compounds.
