LippincOtt;s Magazine.

The March number is unusually at
tractive and enjoyable. The first two
papers, AN Escape from Siberia" and
Australian Scenes and Adventures"
are we'll written, very interesting, full of
information, and handsomely illustrated.
Then follow a few beautiful VERSES called
Forecast" by Charlotte F. Bates. The
concluding chapters of 1.-THE Matchless
One are quite sprightly, suggestive, and
humorous. Munich as q Pest City" is
a clever bit Of description, full of facts
showing particularly the bad points of
the city. In a brief paper, Among the
Blousards," Mr.. Writ Skies gives a some
what vivid picture of the lowest class
Of Parisians. A Sonnet by f. A. Hill
lard hints at a beautiful little impossible
ity. The present installment of Mr..
Black Three Feathers" is we'll told and
very captivating. La Madonna della
Sedia,' a poem by Emma Lazarus, is
far above the average of magazine poetry
and has much beauty and poetic
energy well sustained throughout. Mr..
Fitzedward Hall very pleasantly des.
cribes some early travelling experiences
in India. Once and Again" a paper by
Charles Warren S%toddard, will revive nu
merous pleasant recollections in the
minds Of all who read it. A brief
sketch by S. Weir Mitchell on "The
Scientific Life" is full of stirring thought,
and is a true and touching tribute to the
memory Of one of our ablest scientists.
playing with Fire. by Harriet Prescott
Spo6ford, is an interesting, absorbing,
tragic little story. Mr.. 7. A~dolphus
Trollope describes his "Recollections of
the Tuscan Court under the Grand Duke
Leopold, and Our Monthly Gossip is
spicy and interesting as ever.

That white woman who attempted to

other attempt at suicide yesterday by
appearing at the foot Of Beal street and
acting as if she intended 10 throw her

commit suicide was played successfully
in this city about a year ago by a woman
who afterward admitted that she merely
made the attempts for the purpose OF
raising a revenue. The woman referred

Mayor.
The Mayor has again refused to take
orders on the City Treasury given by the
police and fremen for the necessaries of
life to grocers and other dealers. The
Mayor intimates that he at last intends
to pay off the city employees in money
instead of promises. When he does so
the LEDGER will say he did right, but un-

MURDER NEAR GRENADA.
An Irish PeddIer Pound Murdered
In the WOods Near Grenada. Miss.


From passengers who arrived here last
evening from Grenada, Mississippi, we
learn that on Tuesday last a hunter
named Gibbs while out on the hills some
three miles from Grenada, and half a
mile from the Greysport road, discovered
that his dogs flushed a flock of buzzards
from a ravine. The barking of his dogs
attracted his attention and excited his
curiosity, so he clsmbered down the hill
side and reached the bed OF the creek,
when, to his horror, he discovered the
mutilated and decomposed body of a
white man. The lower portion of the
body, from the hips down, was in a good
state OF preservation, but the upper por-
ton was almost unrecognizable owing to
the fact that the buzzards, hogs and dogs
had eaten almost all the flesh from the
bones. A coroner's inquest was held
and it was developed on examination of
the clothing that the deceased was an
Irish peddler named Pat Rafferty,, who
left Grenada some four weeks before and
had not been seen since. When he left
he carried q heavy stick upon which he
had slung a bundleEof goods which he
expected to trade off throughout the
country. On examining the body a bullet
hole was found in his skull, but no other
marks of violence we're discernible.
The pack Of the peddler was not found,
it having been carried off by the muir.
derers. The c%oroner's jury returned a
verdict that the deceased came to his
death at the hands of some person or
persons unknown.

The C-lcnlIn.Mnrevnsx Case.

Yesterday this famous damage case
came to an abrupt termination in the
Second Circuit Court. Nine jurors had
been selected, when it was discovered
that the attorneys Of the defendant de-
sired to change their pleadings, and in
addition to the plea of not guilty already
fled, they desired to enter a plea Of JUS
ti6cation, so as to be able to introduce
proof as to the truth of the libel. This
change of front brought about a contin.
uance of the case over to the next term
Of court, by agreement Of counsel.

Good samaritani.m.

Some days ago a young lady leaped
from the bluff at the foot of Irrelevant
street and attempted to drown herself.
A negro got her out of the water, and
she "a assisted by a white man. The
latter seeing her feeble condition, made
several efforts to get her into residences
on Tennessee street, but the Good Sa.
maritans refused to take in a half
drowned woman, whose clothes were wet
and muddy. At last a negro woman, a
Christian no doubt, took her to her
cabin and cared for the unfortunate
until she could be sent TO the
City Hospital. Later in the day a Front
street grocery mar visited the Hospital
and took her away, stating that the lady
was a member Of his family, that she
had been suffering from mental depres.
sion and sickness for some time, and
that her mysterious disappearance that
morning could not be accounted for until
it was discovered hat the attempted
suicide was the unfortunate lady in
question.
