A Murderer's Confession.

Il" Well, Luigi, what statement would
you like given to the world ?" asked a
reporter of the New Jersey murderer,
Just before MS execution. rH.-

and I shall die content. I hope that
God will forgive every one who has
conspired against me, as l forgive
them. ] had not the least intention Of
killing my wife, for loved her from
my heart. 1 wanted her to come back
and live with me again, and, when
L assured her of my love, she told me
she didn't love me, and would never
live with me again. | took my friend
Mazzaloni with me, who had known her
from childhood, thinking he Would
have more influence than l. He talked
to Bariolti, and Bariolti said he would
send her back in a few days, and l said
1 was satisfied. Then 1 went to talk
with her again, and my love became so
strong that wanted her to go with me
at once. Then she began to abuse me,
and struck at me with knife, which
cut through my vest and shirts and into
my flesh. At this I became crazed, and
seized the knife and gave her one blow
only one blow. l don't know any
thing about the other cut she had. 1
became dizzy, and my head spun
round like top, and Bariotto struck
me with a shoe-hammer. L didn't see
her run out of the house. Bariotto is

Here Luigi's eyes glistened, and
taking up a fork he showed how he
could have disposed of Bariotto.

During one Of the warm afternoons
of the first part of last week three little
children of Mr.. John Foley, living near
Hillsdale, Columbia county, went out
into the field to play. They were bear
headed and barefooted. An hour or so
afterward their mother went ont to look
for them. but they were no where to be
ioiind. She searched about in the fields
and woods, calling them, but got no
tidings Of them. Becoming alarmed,
as it was growing dark, Mrs. Foley took
the dinner horn, and sounded it for a
long time at different points, in hope
that her children might hear it, and be
guided home by the sound. The horn
had the eject of summoning the neigh
bors to the Foley farm, bit nothing
was heard Of the children. The parents
we:o now nearly frantic.
The section in which they live is n
wild one, and infested with beasts of
prey. Only last week Mr.. Charles
Jones of Hillsdale, while passing
through the woods hear Foley's was
attacked by large, hungry wildcat,
with which he had d severe struggle.
In the latter part of the winter large
she bear and two cubs were killed not
far from the same spot. The parents
of the Foley children, failing to get any
trace of them, feared that they had
wandered into the woods and fallen
prey to some of these animals. It was
now dark, and began to rain. A party
of farmers was organized to scour the
woods in search of the lost children.
They went in different directions, bear
ing lanterns, and calling the children
loudly by name. The oldest child was
a little one six years of age, and the
youngest mere babe. The rain fell
in torrents, but the search was kept up
all night. Not the slightest trace of
the lite ones was found, although the
country had been secured for miles.
The scouting parties returned to the
parents early in the morning with the
sad news. The belief that the children
had been destroyed by wildcats was
now general, and great excitement
prevailed. The news spread to the
village, and business was almost entire
ly suspended.
In the afternoon a boy named Inger-
soil came running to Foley's, and said
that he had either heard children crying
or the cry of wildcat, about mile in
the woods, where he was looking for a
lost COW. ..-
Mr. and Mrs. Foley and some others
started at once for the spot, guided by
young Ingersoll. They came upon the
children lying at the foot of large
tree, covered with dead leaves, and
drenched to the skin. They were cry
ing. When they saw their father and
mother they were almost wild with Joy.
The meeting between them and their
parents was most affecting. The chill
dren were carried back to the house,
and the rejoicing was immense.
The oldest child said she heard the
dinner horn and the halloing of the
hunters, but was afraid to steal away.
She answered the call, but was not
heard. The youngest child cried itself
to sleep and slept all night, lying be-
tween the others.

Wholesale Executions in China

The Temps, in it's Indo-C Chinese
correspondence, reports horrible fact
which marked the surrender to the
imperial troops of city occupied by
the rebels. Sin-Cheff, which had long
been in the hands of the insurgents,
has fallen into the power of the army.
Though but little blood was shed dur
ing the siege, after the capitulation all
the defenders, to the number of six
hundred, were beheaded, although
they had surrended voluntarily. An
English adventurer in the service of
the Chinese army, and and at the same
time correspondent for the Shangai
Courier, was present at the execution.
All the victims died courageously, ex-
claiming to their butchers that their
death would be avenged by their chill
dren. Some of them were unwilling to
wait for that period, and threw them
selves upon the soldiers, of whom they
succeeded in killing four and wounding
several with poignards they had con-
cealed in their sleeves.

His Best Friend.

There arrived in Louisville, few
days ago, on foot all the way from Mis-
sissippi, venerable sick man, who had
trudged all the weary distance thither
to obtain hospital-treatment, and was
accompanied by a small brown dog.
When told that he must give up his dog
before he could go to the City Hospital,
the poor old man took the dog in his
arms, and, with the tears running down
his face, replied that the dog was the
best friend he had in the world, and
that he would rather die from want in
the streets with his dog Tim, than live
in comfort without him. This exhibit
ton of affection was irresistible, and
Esquire Pat Joyes, the commissioner,
gave him permit to enter the hospital,
and to carry his dog with him ; at the
same time giving him money to buy 9
muzzle, in order that the dog might
enjoy tho limits of the hospital grounds

The Dixon Bridge.

What with the frequent marine dis
asters, boiler explosions, and kindred
horrors that have crowded upon us of
late, it seems an almost useless task to
repeat in the present instance the de-
nunciations of acknowledgements
so often have found ir col
umns. Here, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, was structure which any compe-
tent engineer should have been able to
perceive at a glance was improperly
built and unsafe, even were he not aware
of the experience of others with its de-
fects. Yet we are told that city coun-
Gil examined it and were suspicious of
its strength, and still it was allowed to
remain. Naturally, the people are in
dignant, and in the midst of their sor-
row call loudly for the exposure and
punishment of the guilty parties but
private grief will, doubtless, soon over
come the complaints of those bereaved
by the catastrophe, while the general
public, shocked by the sensation for a
day or two, will relapse into its usual
apathy until again awakened by some
new calamity, adding further evidence
of the cheapness and insecurity of
human life. City and town authorities
may derive a lesson from the disaster
by looking to their bridges.

Put Yourself I'm His Place,

Reader, put yourself in the place of dyspeptic
and bilious patient under the old-fashioned, regu-
lar treatment. Allopathic doses of blue pill pur-
gatives that go through him with the impetuous
rush Of an avalanche, opium when he can't slice p
and little beef tea to keep him alive under the
assaults of the medicine men upon his stomach,
his ntestnes his liver, and his brain, all these he
has to endure. Is it any wonder that he becomes
dreadfully weak, emaciated and detected Reader,
II you have any gumption" you would, under any
cir cumstances, and at all hazards decline to put
yourself-otherwise than suppositiously-in that
mans place. Now put yoursefin the place Of a
person with the same complaints, who has had the
sense to resort to Hostetter's Stomach Btters as
remedy. He takes that agreeable and potent vege-
table tonic and Alternative, will say, three times
a day. AS a necessary consequence his appetite
returns his digestion improves hts bodily strength
increases, his bowels become free and regular, his
sleep Is sound and refreshing, his spirits grow,
buoyant, tue tnge Of health returns to his com
plexion, and in few weeks the cure is complete.
This is fancy picture brief abstract Of the
experience of thousands Of dyspeptic, bilious
debilitated and despairing patients. Is 1T neoes-
sary TO ask the reader in which of the two places
he would put himself If afflicted with any disease
Of the stomach, the bowels, liver or the nerves

The Circus.

I once heard a bright child declare
that if circuses were prohibited in heav-
en- she did not wish to go there. She
had been baptized, was under Christian
influences, and previous to this hetero-
doxy, had never given her good parents
moments anxiety. Her naive utter
ance touched responsive chord within
my own breast, for well did [ remember
gov gloriously the circus shone by the
light of other days how the ring mas
ter, in wrinkled dress coat seemed the
most enviable of mortals, being on
speaking terms with all the celestial
creatures who jumped over flags and
through balloons how the clown was
the dearest, funniest of men how the
athletes, in tights and spangles, were
my beau ideals of masculinity and how
La Bella Rose, with one foot upon her
native heath, otherwise a well-padded
saddle, and the other pointed in the
direction of the sweet little cherubs that
sat up aloft, was the most fascinating
of her sex. am persuaded that cir
cuses fill an aching void in the universe.
What children did before their inven-
ton shudder to think, for circuses are
to childhood what butter is to bread =;
and what the world did before the birth
of the Snowman is an almost equally
frightful problem. Some are born to
shows, others attain shows, and yet
again others have shows thrust upon
them. Barnum is q born Snowman.

1t was stated at late meeting of the
fruit growers of New York that an
orchard of Baldwin apple trees, 40 in
number, yielded last year ], 1000 barrels.
AS the ground covered was about tive
acres, the net profits were $500 an acre.
This orchard had been planted Is years,
and the average yield during all this
time was over $50 year. Another
orchard which was planted thicker
yielded an average for each year from
the time of planting of $270. 1t was
said, in conclusion, that apples can be
grown at profit of 81 barrel, and
more money can be made than with any
other crop. Now, although this relates
to New York, the same is true of other
States, North and South, but let it be
peaches instead of apples, and not SO
much to sell green as to can and dry.
