| The Swiss Times gives the following &C
count OF absinthe's history: "In the Canton
| of Neuchatel, in the long, broad wide Val
de Travers, famous for its asphalt mines, is
! the seat of the manufacture OF absintbe.
The manufacture of this pernicious drink
dates back to the last decades of the
eighteenth century. A French exile and
doctor, named Ordinaire, who selected the
the village of Couvet as his residence. is
credited with the first invention of absinthe,
which he employed as a medicine, and at
his death DR.. Ordinaire left his receipt to
his servant girl, Mile Grandpierre. She
sold it to the daughters of Lieu enant
HenriOd, who gLew the herbs required in
their own garden, and carried on the distil-
lation of the HqueW in the kitchen. At
the beginning of this century the receipt
was sold to NJ. Pernod, of Couvet, and from
that period the Extrait d'Absinthe appears
in commerce. The first who manufactured
the article Oh large scale were Dubbed
father and son, and their relative, Henri
Louis Pernod, son, all three of Couvet Of
course the production of the two houses was
only limited. The demand was neither
large nor general, and the want Of the es-
sential herbs formed another obstacle to the
development OF the manufacture. Dubbed
and PernOd had no other sources for thei
ingredients than their own gardens. By de-
grees the demand for the extrait d'absinthe
became greater, and with it the culture of
the herbs. In 1880 the receipts for the wer-
muth plantations in the four communes of
Couvet, Motiers, Fleurier, and Buttes were
estimated at 1,OOO-1,2OO louis d'ors,
and it was said in praise of private grower
of Couyet that he had sold alone $500
francs worth of the plant. From this time
the culture of the absinthe plant assumed
large proportions, and to-day the proprie-
tors derive large incomes from their all
sinthe fields in Couvet. The village of
Boveresse sells yearly more than 5000 francs
worth of the plant, and Mothers and Couvet
in similar proportions. The quantity of alb
sinthe manufactured in the Val de Travers
at the present day is estimated at about
10000 litres. The herb (Artemisia absinth-
ium). of which the absinthe is first pre-
pared, is plant growing to a height of
from two to four feet. 1t is found through
out Central Europe on stony hills and also
in gardens. Consumers of absinthe arc prin-
cipally found in France, England, North
America, and Switzerland, although the
hurtful effect of the liquor on the nervous
system has been repeatedly pointed out by
medical men,"

was done at fLst.

A Boy Killed While Defending His
Mother.

Boy Killed While Defe ending His
Mother.
New YORK, June about half-past II
this morning heartless and blood thirsty
murder was perpetrated in the Gypsy camp
near the boundary line of Newton and Long
Island City. An old woman who told for
tunes, ii man, the leader of the band, and a
boy, son of the woman, were the actors in
the tragedy that ended fatally for the latter.
The woman had been reaping rich harvest
from telling fortunes for some time past,
and this morning the man demanded share
OF the money. 1t is believed that the wo-
man would not divide the earnings, when
the man became enraged and struck her to
the ground. The son resented the insult to
his mother, knocking down her assailant
and jumping upon him.
The man recovered his feet in a passion,
and, drawing pistol discharged it several
times at the boy, two shots taking effect in
his breast. By a strong effort, and in the
throes Of death, he managed to stagger up
to the man, and, pulling out knife made a
desperate lunge at him, the weapon enter
ing his arm, the man fired again, the bullet
entering the boys heart, and, utterng cry
Mother mother, I'm killed p he fell at the
mans feet. He, seeing the boy was dead,
and fearing the authorizes, ordered the
goods to be packed up and the caravan,
composed Of three carriages, was soon in
full flight, the body Of the boy being flung
into the bottom of the cart and tents and
luggage piled upon him. Six mounted and
armed men started in pursuit of the muir
derer at o'clock to-day, and it is thought
probable if caught he will be lynched.
