Plotting to Murder his Father and
Mother,

The Bravo poisoning case is not off
the English mind before young Eng
hshman of Hartford startles the public
by prosecuting companion for conspir-
ing against the life of his own parents.
The prosecutor bears the name of
Augustus Dickens, and on his own con-
fession has lived q most vagabond life.
The defendant is Paul Bayart, son of a
French wooden manufactures of Roubaix.
1t is claimed by Dickens that Paul hired
him to go to France, visit RoubaiA cd
there murder his father as he went out
for his morning walk over his grour DIS,
and his mother as she went to chapel.
The young man furnished his nercenary
with plan of Roubaix and full direc-
tons as to finding his fathers residence,
and photographs by which he could
identify the old people. He gave Dick
ems note of 9500 as reward for the
deed, saying that he did not wish him
to think that he 1BayarD did not love
his parents, because he did, but his
financial situation made their removal
necessary. Bayart's defense is that the
entire allegation is false and all the
documents put in are forgeries. His
two brothers were summoned from
Roubaix, the eldest o partner with his
father in business amounting of 1000,
600 francs year, and they denied that
any of the criminatory handwriting was
that of Paul. Dickens, after putting the
affair in the hands of the police, very
strangely sent to the father at Roubaix
demand for cash on the note of 9500,
which is claimed by the defense to give
a cue to the whole affair as blackmail-
ing operation on his part. Dickens had
had also quarrel with Catholic priest.
Father Stanfeld, to whom the Bayart
boy seemed to be consigned, he be-
ing in England to acquire knowledge
of the language to use in his fathers
business. Cardinal Manning was APP
pealed to, and wrote letter to some OF
Dickens friends about the quarrel. Ac.
cording to Dickens story the killing was
to be effected by an air gun, and con
siderable confrmatory evidence was Of
fered to show that Paul Bayart had been
making inquiries in regard to poisons
which leave no trace. 1t is queer case,
and Bayart was bound over in 9200 bail
for trial. The probability would seem
to be that Dickens had ingeniously
strung together lot of carefully con-
trived incidents to give weight and sub
stance to an outrageous fiction.

The Mountain Meadow Massacre.

1t has been adisputed question wheth-
er Brigham Young was privy to the
Mountain Meadow massacre, horrible
butchery by Mormons and Indians, of
men, women and children belonging to
an immigrant train bound for California
in 1857. From the evidence produced
by the prosecution at Beaver, Utah, in
the trial of John ID. Lee, the leader of
the murderers, it would seem that
Young was not responsible in any way
for the atrocious act, but that, on the
contrary, when informed of Lees de-
sign, he sent messenger to the latter
with instructions to spare the immi-
grants and let them go in peace. The
messenger rode day and night, but the
massacre had taken place forty-eight
hours before he reached Mountain Mea-
dow. But this evidence, though it
shows that Brigham Young underworld
to prevent tho murders, also proves
that he knew who the murderers were,
and yet he never took any measures
whatever to bring them to justice. The
proof against Lee seems to be conclu-
sive.

How Thoughtful!

He was three and twenty and she was
two or three years younger, and they
had been married only two or three
days. They were standing at the corner
of Broadway and Canal street, New
York, waiting for Car to Central Park,
when, all of sudden, the bride laid her
hand on his arm and whispered:
L" Darling, s'posen y should get
killed and l should be left in this great
city all alone |"
"Never thought of it BEFORE" he re-
piled, backing away from the curbstone
a little. Then, pulling a long, red wal
let out of his hind pocket, he counted
out four ten-cent shinplasters and handed
them over with the remark:
"You are right. In the midst of life
we are in death, and you might as well
be prepared in case anything happened
to me"

A Lake Under Soil.

The Montgomery (Ala.) Bulletin
says: At the Dickinson place, on Bull
lard creek, is ten acre field, which is
nothing more nor less than subterra-
mean lake covered with soil about eight
cen inches deep. On the soil is culti
waited a field of corn which will produce
thirty or forty bushels to the acre. II
any one will take the trouble to dig a
hole the depth of spade handle he will
find it to fill with water, and by using a
hook and line fish four and five inches
long can be caught. These fish are diff
ferent from others in not having scales
or eyes, and are perchlike in shape.
The ground is q black mari, alluvial in
its nature, and in all probability it was
at one time an open body of water on
which has accumulated vegetable mat
ter, which has been increasing from
time to time until now it has crust suf-
ficiently strong and rich to produce fine
corn, though it has to be cultivated by
hand, as it is not strong enough to bear
the weight of horse. While incoming
the field hands catch great strings of
delicate fish by merely punching hole
through the earth. A person raising on
his heel and coming down suddenly can
see the growing corn shake all around
him. Any one having the strength to
drive rail through this crust will find
on releasing it that it will disappear en-
tirely. The whole section of country
surrounding this field gives evidence Of
marshiness and the least shower of rain
produces an abundance of mud. But
the question comes up, has not this body
an outlet9 Although brackish, the
water tastes as if fresh, and we have no
doubt but that it is anything else than
stagnant. Yet these fish are eyeless and
scaleless, similar to those found in

American WOrkingmen.

At banquet given in Paris to the
French labor delegates upon their re-
turn from the Philadelphia Exhibition
one of them said "In the great
American republic, SO lauded by our
public men, we found the relative posi-
ton of employer and workman the same
as it is here. There, as in France, capt.
tai is the master. The workmen in
America have every possible liberty;
they have many more schools than we
have in France; but. Notwithstanding all
this, and in spite of theabolition of ne
gro slavery, the slavery of the whites
still hourishes. Many as are the priv
leges which the workman is accorded,
and which he does not possess in Eu-
rope, he remains workman still; and
these privileges are of little use to him
as long as he is not allowed to have o
share in the profits with his employer. "

The Molly Maguires.

During the trials of the Molly Ma
guire murderers in Pittsville, says let
ter, the public have been treated to a
succession of startling surprises by No
Parlan, the detective, and it was
thought that the full extent of the devil
ment plotted or executed by them was
developed.
Michael Lawlor, who was on trial for
being an accessory before and after the
fact of the murder of Thomas Sanger,
was called to the stand and made clean
breast of all he knew about the Mollies.
He confirmed McParlan in even minute
particulars, and went beyond him in
painting the almost Incredible savage
ness of his former associates. The atroc-
ity of the recent murders was completely
eclipsed by deed of villainy that was
plotted and came near being carried out
in 1873.
In Jackson Patch, small mining vii
lage near Mahanoy City, lived several
Kilkenny Irishmen, who belonged to a
gang known as the "Sheet Iron" gang.
Between these men and the Molies a
deadly feud existed, and collisions were
not infrequent. On one occasion the
"Sheet Iron" men beat some Mollies in
Mahanoy City, treating them severely.
The society at large espoused their quar-
rel, and 1t was actually decided to take
two hundred picked men, led by the
county delegate, and go to Jackson's
Patch in the dead of night. The pro-
gramme was to set fire to the houses of
the obnoxious Kilkenny men, and either
burn the inmates or shoot them down as
they tried to escape from the flames,
The night was fixed and the men gath

mento this hellish plan. Barney Dolan,
the county delegate, did not come. A
man named John Mcdonald, who had a
great deal of influence with the crowd,
was appealed to by Lawlor and one OF
two others not to allow the men to pro.
coed In the business. The fearful con.
sequences OF setting the houses on fire
at night and burning women and chill
dren to death were laid before this DO
tentate, and he was finally induced tc
admit that it would be q shame to carry
out the plan. The men, however, in
