A Wrong Beyond Reparation.

ONCE more the cruel uncertainty of cir
cumstantial evidence is exemplified, by
the following curious story in the French
papers: In 1S42 two men, named Bonnet
and Grataloup, returning from the fair of
st. Symphonien, in the department of
the Loire, were attacked by two men, and
so maltreated that Bonnet died few days
afterwards. 1t was believed that the
object of the crime was to obtain possess
sion of a considerable sum of money which
had been paid to Grataloup, but which he
had not in his possession when he was at
tackled. A year elapsed before the discov-
cry of the criminals, when rumor became
current in the neighborhood that Dussud.
an innkeeper, and Lionnel, q hawker,
were the culprits. Grataloup having
given countenance to this report, Dussud,
who bore an excellent character, COM
menced suit for libel, upon the trial of
which the question of his criminality was
necessarily raised. Grataloup, against
whom the suit was brought, produced
two witnesses, one of whom swore that
he had met Dussud and Lionnel near the
scene of the outrage shortly before its
commission, and the other contradicted
Dussud s assertion that he did not leave his
house at all that evening. Other witness
es, however, were called by Dussud, who
established the falsity Of this evidence,
and the two men were subsequently SEN
tenced to penal servitude for perjury.
The nephew of Grataleup ALSO proved
that he received the money due to his

therefore have no reason to attempt the
murder for the sake of robbery. Despite
this and other favorable testimony, both
Dussud and Lionnel were found guilty of
attempted murder, and sentenced respec-

for fifteen years and for life. Lionnel
died, but Dussud underwent the full term
of his sentence, and then returned to his
Recently, however, a man upon whom
suspicion had long rested has acknowl-
edged upon his death-bed that he and
another man (neither of those who were
convicted) were the real culprits. The
feeling of the district had always been
favorable to Dussud, and a strong appeal
has been made to the authorities for new
trial, and for compensation to the surviv-
ing victim of terrible judicial error.

Fashion, Fun and Fret.

Fashion IL a goddess.
She liz ov the maskuline, feminine and
nuter gender.
Men worship her in her maskuline form
I-wimnin in her feminine form, and the
excentricks i'm her nuter gender.
She rules the world with a straw, and
makes all ner suppliants.
She enslaves the poor az well az the
ritch, she kneels in sanktuarys, pOmps in
cabins, and leers at the street korners.
She fits mans foot with a pinching
boot, throttles him with a stubborn col
lar, and dies his mustash with darkness.
She trails the rich silks Ov wimmin
along the filthy sidewalks, leads sore-eyed
laP-dogs with string, and banishes help
less children to murky nurserys, in the
care ov faithless hirelings.
She cheats the excentric with the clap
trap of freedom, and makes him serve her
in the habiliments ov the harlequin.
Yea, verify.
Fun is the SOULS vent.
Fun IL WHARF the kruditys eskape,
where she kiks up her heels, and runs
az eager az an eskaped konvikt.
Fun liz safety-valve that lets the steam
preshure oph from the biler, and keeps
things from busting.
Fun liz the dansing particles, which fiji
oph from the surface ov unbottled cider |;
it IL the senseless frolik ov the spring lam
in the clover; it IL the merry twinkle that
kreeps down tew the korner ov the par
sons eye, to stand in the sunlite, and see
what's going on.
Fun Il az karliss az kolt, az happy az
a bridegroom, az silly az luv-sik skool-
girl.
Fun IL the holy day wisdum ov the
sage, the phools pholly, and everybodys
puppet.
Next tew the virtew in this world, the
fun in it liz what we kan least spare.
Truly! o! truly
Fret liz kanker, gangreene, a blister,
a bile, salt on sore place, and silver
everywhere.
Fret IL frickshun, a dull lancet, a gimb-
let.
Fret makes yung man ackt like an old
one, and an old man ackt like yung one.
Fret IL a grind stun, WHARF he who holds
hiz noze on, haz tew do hiz own turning.
Fret haz burnt more holes thru mans
koppers than all the other hot things, it
haz killed az often az the doctors hav, and
it liz az lawless and senseless az a goose.
Fret makes the husband a tyrant, the
wife plague, the child nuisance, an old
maid terrible, and bachelor disgusting.
Fret makes home a prizon, and puts
teeth into the gums ov all life's misfor-
tunes.
