BLOOD IN THE AIR.
A Private Waterman Murdered
by Thieves.
ANOTHER MYSTERY,

Last night, abou. IL o'clock, one
OF the most outrageous and dastardly
Wurders was perpe:rs,ed that has for
some time been registered upon the
record of crime.
There Is . man by the name oil
Martin Walsh, who is fifty years old,
and has for eight years been the pri.
vate Waterman of the Red Stores and
Bazaar Market, on the levee, head oil
Dumaine street.
1t appears that for the last two
weeks several attempts have been
made to rob the Red Store. but Mr..
Walsh drove the thieves away BY
shooting after them, aid therefore It
was supposed that
THE MURDER
was committed by the dastardly
thieves who had b.en foiled in their
attempts to rob the stores by Mr..
Walsh. The partner or frllowwatch.
man Of Walsh. who was on Dumaine
street. heard the shot. and upon rum
ming up to the Red Store, found
THE DEAD MAN,
who was lying across the banquctte
with the blood flowing from O wound
in his left eye. Immediately he gave
the alarm, aud summoned assistance.
when Sergeant John Mccain, Of the
Third Precinct, came and assisted ir
taking the unfortunate to the Third
Precinct Station House, where be
now lies.
THE STATEMENT
Of colored man named s. Decker. a
night inspector on the levce for the
Custom. House. states that about the
time the murder was committed. he
saw two men running rapidly down
the levee. from the direction Of the
Red Store. Thinking that it was fire,
be thought nothing more about it
until the officers informed him of
what bad happened.
The murdered man leaves o wife
and four children. who were entirely
dependent upon bis lal,ors for their
daily bread. The body will, after the
COroner's examination, be taken to
the decesaed's residence, on Marigny,
between Greatrnon aud Craps streets.
And thus ends another bloody trsg.
cdy.

The Funding Board last week were
about to exchange new bonds for the

and Kellogg could bind the State.
A supplemental petition had been

District Court, some time in the sum-
mer or fall of 1873, which went
against these guarantee" bonds, OF
which Warmoth had Endorsed $780,.
600 and Kellogg $l25,OOO. But q
little condition was annexed to the
guarantee Of these bonds, namely (:
That a section Of forty miles of the
road should be complete and running
before certain date, and that, in
case Of failure, the obligation of the
State should cease and determine. +"
This little condition of time lapscd,
January Is, 1871, when only fourteen
and onc-quarter miles of read had been
completed. The obligation of the
State then ceased and determined. -
The constitutional limit of the State

Piano Voyage Twice Around the
World.

There is now lying in the port of New
York the American ship Agra, in con-
nectlon with which vessel there is an
eventful history of an American piano.
The vessel was owned by Capt. Miller,
who sailed her, and the companion of
his long and adventurous voyages was
his wife, an accomplished pianiste. In
the month of April, 1871, an American
upright piano was placed in the cabin
OF the good ship Agra by her captain,
for the use of his wife, to beguile the
tediousness of the long sea voyages in
tended to be taken. In the latter
part of the month the vessel
sailed from New York direct for
Melbourne, Australia: thence to China;
Japan, nd India, returning to New
York after an absence of fifteen months.
In September, 1872, she left again for
another voyoge round the world, going
first to Melbournea second time; thence
direct to London, England, then to
Norway, whence she returned direct to
Melbourne; then to San Francisco and
China, and then back to New York, af-
ter an absence of two years and five
months, having travelled over 10000
miles, having crossed the equator ten
times and passed the Cape of Good
Hope five times, and Cape Horn nearly
as many, while enduring, as matter of
course, innumerable storms, and every
vlclssltude OF climate changes.

Snakes. etc.

DR.. 0. Beccari, an italian explorer,
has published list of the reptiles and
batrachians collected by him in Ambey-
ma, the Aru islands, and the Ke islands,
in 1872 and 1873. The list contains
670 examples referable to So species.
In Amboyna, not much that is new has
been discovered, as this island was
pretty well explored by the Dutch
years ago. The two other groups of
Papuan islands were, however, almost
unknown, as Mr.. Wallace, their pre-
vious explorer, devoted himself mainly
to insects and birds. The species actu-
ally new to science in DR.. Beccari's
collection are few, but they announce
that the general character of the rep
titan fauna of the Aru and Ke islands
is essentially Papuan. in the latter
group, there is rather stronger in
fusion of Indo- Malayan forms. In the
Ke islands the Australian Death Adder,
Acanthoaohis ant0rctica1s is very abund-
ant. In Aru the Saurians are more
numerous in species than the Ophidians,
while in the Ke islands the contrary
is the case. DR.. Beccari did not find a
single batrachian in the Re islands,
whereas he procured three in the
Wokan, the uorthernmcst of the Aru
group. One of these was the widely
spread Pelod7y0scaeruleus of Australia.

Mr.. Lincoln as Postmaster.

Mr.. Lincoln, before he moved to
Springfield, Illinois, was postmaster in
a small Western town. The Office was
poor, and Lincoln was poorer than the
Office. It was known that he was very
hard up, and it was also known that the
Washington agent was in town to collect
the sum due the general posrofice. A
friend, thinking that Lincoln might be
embarrassed, came down to his Office
to loan him the sum necessary to meet
the demand. Mr.. Lincoln thanked him
and said he did not need any loan.
While the two were talking the agent
came in. The sum due was not less
than S 90. Lincoln went to his desk and
took out an old stocking, and turned
the coin on the table. It was counted
and met the demand exactly. Well it
might. for it was not only the exact
amount Que, but the identical money
itself that Lincoln had taken in. Old
fashioned rix dollars, piastareens, six
pences, old-fashioned cents and all
we're there. 81 never use money that
belongs to other people, said Lincoln,
and that resolution did much toward
making him President of the United
States. "Barleigh" IN Boston Journal.

story about dashing mechanic who
married talented young lady there
about 25 years ago, and then deserted
her in few months. She began teach
ing with great success, saved money,
invested it judiciously, and became
quite we'll off. She was widely known,
and highly respected, and when she
suddenly disappeared, about two years
ago, not over half a dozen people knew
where she had gone. The solution of
the mystery is that she discovered the
whereabouts of her long-lost husband,
and reconciliation was effected by the
assistance OF mutual friend. Now she
is the happy matron of one of the finest
estates on the Pacific coast, and enjoys
the society OF husband whose fortune
counted in the million period.

Twin Brides.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of recent
date says: ''We had the pleasure to
to see the newly-made twin brides at
the Gibson blouse last night, and must
confess that more perfect exemplifica-
ton of the French story of 'Girolfe
Girolfla' could hardly exist. They were
at supper with their husbands last night
when we saw them, and nice little par
ty the four made. The bridegrooms
are brothers, but not twins. It is not
often in lifetime that one is permitted
te see two brothers married to twin sis
ters. The husbands are easily distin-
gulshed the one from the other. The
older one wears full whiskers, while the
younger has simply moustache. The
trouble to be apprehended is in the
sameness of the wives, and very pref
ty sameness it is. To use homely but
trite phrase, they are as like as two
peas. To describe the one would be to
describe both. They are of medium
size, perfect brunettes, dress exactly
alike. and seem to be about twenty years
old. Beauty has richly endowed these
fair brides and placed its dimpled seal
In the cheeks of each. How, in the
O1oCA VI 1uAau PhoSIOu, IL CAME 10 pass
that either of the husbands could fall in
love with his wife without falling in
love at the same time with her sister
passes our understanding. It has been
suggested that each of the Morgan
brothers fell in love with both the
Stuart sisters, and to settle the matter
put up their sweethearts in a bag,
shook 'em up and drew outs for the one
who came out first. We suppose they
know, but we don't gee how either of
them knows, to which one of the twins
he is MARI ID. They came into supper,
and by judicious assortment were seated
each at the right hand of her husband.
When they went out of the dining room
one couple vas allowed to get some dis
lance in advance before the other start
ed, to prevent confusion
