THE RAGE FOR SEALSKINS.
From the London Tele graph. I

Some thirty years ago sealskin Was common
enough. Boxes were covered with it, gloves
and driving-rugs were made of it, coster-
mongers and cabmen cut their caps from it.
Then came time when some cunning furrer
discovered how to dye it rich dark brown,
and to give it that exquisite soft and downy
texture which is its chief charm. At once
ladies adopted the luxury. 1t was soon found
that tor cloaks, jackets, muffs, dainty little
hats, collars, cuffs. bags, portemonnaies, for a
thousand other articles of feminine use, it
was the most delightful the most beautiful,
the most indispensable, of all possible ma
terials. The demand for it increased wi h a
rapididy almost marvellous, and the fashion,
instead of wearing itself out, has if any
thing, steadily increased. Indeed the best
Alaska sealskins, like the furs of the sable,
the silver fox, and the Russian sea otter,
command an altogether fancy price, and a
handsome jacket of close texture and uniform
color, with no white hairs to break the con-
tinuation of its tint, will fetch as many
guineas as, fve-and-twenty years ago, it
would have fetched half-crowns. The result
is that the luckless seals have had waged
against them now for several years what
practically amounts to war Of e1termina-

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
KILLED BY BRASS KNUCKLES.
A Dark Deed in q Dark Place.

! About Z o'clock last night difficulty oc'
Cured on Felicity street, between Laurel and
Constance, between Henry Gerdes and two
unknown men, in which the former was
struck on the head Win some dull instru-
ment, supposed to be brass knuckle, and
instantly killed. The unknown men made
| their escape
Inc unknown men were walking leisurely
along the sidewalk, one of them considerably
under the influence of liquor, and it seems
that the other party was trying to get him to
60 home.
The deceased, who was sitting on bridge,
cried out to one OF the men, Hoop; you are
drunk, some two or three times, when one of
the men remarked to the other: Lets 90
over and find out what that d-n means. -
The other man answered, eyes," and both
walked up to the deceased and commenced to
quarrel, when one of the men struck him
twice in the chest
The deceased turned round and walked of
few PAGES when one man ran up to him
again and struck him on the head and felled
him to the pavement In falling Gerdes
struck his head against one of the hinges Of
one of the large doors of the Planters Press
The two assailants walked ahead very slow
and finally got out of sight.
Mr. Charles Hoyt, who was witness to the
affair, seeing that the man did not move,
walked over, lit a match, as the gas lights
were not burning, and discovered that the
man was dead. He Immediately gave the
alarm, which was answered by Capt. J. Gray,
of the Sixth Precinct, who was in the vicinity
at the time, and the body was removed to
the Sixth Precinct Station.
The Captain made diligent search for the
murderers, but was unable to find any clue
that would lead to their capture. The affair
happened on the Second Precinct side of Fe-
licity street. but as no officer was on hand,
and Capt Gray being the first to hear Of the
tragic deed, rushed to the spot and rendered
all the assistance possible in ferreting out the
perpetrators of the crime.
Mr.. Hoyt states that he thought at the time
that the men were drunk and had only
knocked the man down, therefore did not pay
attention as to who the men were, but recol-
lects that one man was dressed in black and
the other wore light suit.
The deceased is man apparently about
twentyseven years of age, and native OF
Germany, and is the same individual who at
tempted to commit suicide on the 2lst of
June, 1871, (while employed as car-driver
on the Magazine street line), by taking lauda-
mum.
The affair happened about square from
where his wife lived, and from whom he had
been separated for several years, which is be-
lieved to have been the cause of his attempt
ing suicide, as he had always afterwards and
up to the present time been perfectly devoted
to her, although he has been divorced from
her since before the time OF his attempted
self-destruction.
Coroner Chastant has been notified and
will hold an inquest.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE ON TONT]
STREET.
ESTIMATED LOSS $4,000.
NO WATER.

At twenty minutes to II o'clock last night
a fire broke out in one-story frame house
at the corner of Tonti and Bienville streets
owned and occupied as dwelling by Mrs
Kurbin.
The house and the two kitchens attached
were entirely consumed. Insured in the Mer
chants Mutual Insurance Company for $1,000
The unchecked flames thence spread to the
adjoining one-story frame residence, on Tonti,
between Bienville and Customhouse streets,
owned and occupied by Mr.. Hartman, which
also proved total loss. If insured could not
be ascertained.
The fire spread still further to the double
tenement frame house next door ON the same
street, owned by Mr.. Gleason and occupied
by him on one side and by Mr.. Pepper on the
other, which was also burned to ashes
The fire department was promptly ON
and, but; owing to the scarcity of water,
nothing could be done to save the properties.
Had it not been for an open space of two OF
three lots at the junction of Mr.. Gleason
house, the entire square would have been
destroyed. Total loss about $4,000
The cause of the fire was undoubtedly the
work of an incendiary, as Mrs. Kurbin was
awakened by noise in her house few
moments before she discovered the place to
be on fire. The alarm was given by a citizen
from box No. Isl, corner of johnson and
Bienville streets.

A BOGUS DEAF.MUTE."

A Mr.. Sandusky, of Bourbon, Ky, took
compassion on protested deaf-mute who ap-
piled to him for assistance some time ago, aud
gave him position ir his business Office.
The man proved intelligent and capable, and
soon ingratiated himself with his employer SO
as to be made sort of confidential clerk
The other day, however, while Mr.. Sandusky
was counting some money prior to taking it to
the bank, he felt himself suddenly struck on
the head from behind Though almost
summed by the blow, he had presence of mind
enough to draw his pistol and face his assail-
ant, who was no other than the supposed
mute. The latter, brought unexpectedly to
bay, fell on his knees, recovered his speech
with marvellous suddenness, and begged for
his life in the loudest accents. Mr.. Sandusky
fired, however, and wounded the wretch Sc.
verely enough to make his capture easy, and
then conducted him to Jail and delivered him
up to the Sheriff.
