The chain Of evidence thus far presented
seemed to indicate couclusively that the
boy, wherever he was killed, was placed in
tho barrel in that feed store, and it was q
fair conclusion that some one connected
with the store had guilty knowledge of his
death.
Thereup0n McGovern had all the inmates
of the store arrested, to wit: Antoine Oar.
tigues, jean Despouey, John Tape and
Francois Caseaudre. They admitted .
knowledge of the fact that the boy had
been missing for several days, but stoutly
denied al knowledge of the manner in
which he was killed, or how his remains
got into the barrel.
After tho parties had been under arrest
for two or three days. Tape, who had
served as Dartigues' drayman, concluded
to make . clean breast of it. His story.
told first to McGovern, and subsequently
before the jury Of inquest, and the Criminal
Court, was to tho following effect:
He said that on the afternoon of Tues
day. the twenty-eighth of August, 1852,
while in Dsrtigues' feed store ON Front
Levee street he SAW Dsrtigues get angry ct
Theodore Woolfsy and some other children
who were playing and making snoise about
the place. Tho children then went away,
but some time afterward little Theodore
returned, whom Dartigues pursued him and
struck him ON the neck with IN implement
known - . -four auger or sampler. There
upon the boy fell down, apparently stunned,
beside . high heap of bran in sacks, and
Dartigues, placing his hands on the pile,
drew down 90 many OF tho sacks that the
little fellow was entirely covered.
Alter this Tape was immediately sent
away with his drayy and thought little Of
the occurrence, for he supposed that the

The journal tdu Hoc'e recounts a.
terrible aencounter between the lion
tanner Bidel and number of wild
beasts. Bidcl's custom was togo in
to the cage of these ferocious animals
accompanied by a sheep, which was
by his presence kept safe from attack.
On recent occasion he proceeded to
the lions cage. and his first action
was to place the sheep on the back of
a lioness, as he had frequently done
before. No sooner had he accom-
plished this than powerful lion
sprang upon the poor sheep ndburied
his teeth deep intoa vital part of its
body. There were large number Of
spectators present, and the sudden act
of the lion created all instant and gen
eral panic. Bidel stepped forward,
and with the utmost coolnessl struck
theiion blow, ON the mouth with a
heavy stick, which made him crouch
and yell with pain, and throw his
bleeding victim trembling at the feet.
of the courageous performer. In an
othor moment, however, all the wild
~ t.tAa !
beasts were dashed into fury by the
sight of the blood, and no one in the
assembly believed that Bidel could
possibly escape. Preserving his
presence of mind, however, he kept
the other animals at bay until he had
subdued the lion and chased him back
to his cage. He then fought his way
back through the other animals, and
amidst the bravos of the assembly,
came ont triumphant. carrying his
wounded sheep with him. The poor
animal, which was great favoritc Of
the lion-tamcr's, has since died Of its
wounds.

x1A + SINGULAR JAPANESE MpDE. The
Japanese habit Of reversing every
thing, if we may regard our own
ways Of doing as the proper way, is
very curious and in some of its details
veryIinteregting. Mr.. Gfifus, in bis
work on Japan discusses it thus:
Another man is planning He pulls
the plane toward him. | notice
blacksmith at work. He pulls the
bellows with his feet, while he is hold
ing and hammering with both hands.
He has several irons in the fire, and
keeps his dinner pot boiling with the
waste fame. His whole family, like
the generations before him, seem to
all>get their living in the, hardware
line. The cooper holds his tub with
his toes. Allof them sit down while
they work. How strange! Perhaps
that is an important difference be-
tween a European and an Asiatic.
One sits down to his work, the other
stands up to it. Why is it that we
do these things .contrariwise to the
japanese? The japanese say that
we are reversed. They call our pen
manship "crab writing because"
say they, "it goes backward The.
lines in our books cross the page like
a craw fish, instead Of going down
ward properly In a japanese sta
BILE we find the horses flank where we
look for his head, Japanese screws
screw the other. way. Their locks
thrust .to,the left, ours to the right.
The baby toys of the Arvan race
squeak when squeezed; the Turanian
gimcracks emit noise when pulled
apart. A Caucasian, to injure bis en-
en,y, kills him; a japanese kills him
self to spite his foe. Which race is
left handed? Which has the negative,
which the positive Of truth? What is
truth? What is down? What is up?

STRANGE CASE IN New CASTLE County.
There is considerable excitement in New
Castle Hundred over the reported poisoning
OF man named Downing by his wife, or
widow rather.
1t appears that Edward Downing a well
to do farmer about sixty years of age, near
Bear Station, New Castle Hundred, died
on the 18th OF March last, after a short
illness. lie was buried at Christiana. and
his death, at the time, occasioncd no
unusual surprise or comment. But since
the death son has accused his mother of
causing his fathers death, and has so made
oath before the Coroner. Upon the strength
OF this sworn statement the body was taken
up on Monday and an inquest called. Two
physicians of Wilmington have been an.
pointed to make an analysis of the stomach.

June has been appointed for the final
meeting OF the coroner's jury. Young

years ago young man named Thomas
Phillips, of st, Georges, had been employed
ON his fathers farm, and being SUSPECTED

had been discharged.
Although the young man knew nothin @
OF any criminal intimacy between his
mother and the man Phillips, he heard
frequent intimation to this effect. One re-.
port was that they met at the house of a
colored woman named Susan Butcher, in
" Wilmington, and on going to see Susan
Butcher she told him that on one occasion
Mrs. Downing had asked her if she could
not give her something to put the old man
out of the way.
Mr.: Downing also recited other instances
pointing to criminal intimacy between
his mother and Phillips. The father had
