The Kingan Tragedy.

New York, March l5.-The Kingar
tragedy excites much feeling on the Pro
duce Exchange. Gould H. Thorpe said
he felt thoroughly convinced that Kingar
had been murdered. he believed thai
when the news reached Boston or Port
land some person identified him as the
missing man, knew from the reports that
he must have had large sum OF money
with him, and these men followed him
to New Brunswick and there finding q
favorable opportunity robbed and mur.
dered him. Thorpe is OF the opinion
that Kingan had over 100000 with him
while the reports only state that less thar
S., 900 had been found on the body. He
secuted the idea Of Kingan being a de.
iaulter, as his assets more than doubled
his liabilities. Several other brokers
spoke highly Of him and said his unfor,
tunatc death would have no serious II
any financial effect on Change.

following doubtful story: Miss Ella Ma
lone,,a young lady of ten, who resides
with her mother in the southern part of
the city, has been subject for two years
to. peculiar influences. She often goes
off in a trance in which she claims to be,
not Ella Malone, but man named
Charles s. Evans, who died several years
ago, but who was, when living, musi-
clan and member of minstrel troupe.
While in this state she is said to execute
difficult music on piano with her eyes
closed, being evidently in an abnormal
condition. After few performances OF
this kind she is able to give the same
music in her normal state. In this way,
in less than a year, without the least
previous knowledge of written music, she
is able to execute many difficult pieces
with the skill and precision of an artist.
At times her control" as the influence
is called, improvises music, and has com.
posed several pieces, which Ella plays in
her normal state. In this way she is
acquiring her musical education indie.

The LAWYER and the Emetic,

A correspondent sends to the Man
chester (EnglandD COurie, the following
story: 1t happens that in one of the
principal streets of certain cathedral
city there fourishes chemist, and in
another lawyer, each eminent in his
particular line. Being somewhat of the
same feather it is not wonderful that
they sometimes came together. The
fact is they came together rather more
frequently than the apothecary's assist
ant liked.
Whether it was because sold -"
was always at his elbow and looking over
him at his business or not, for some rea-
son that individual conceived the idea
of getting rid of his masters friend.
Accordingly one fine day lately sold
-" turned in as usual, and found the
assistant alone. The master had gone
out, but that did not deter the lawyer
from taking his seat on the corner of the
counter where the assistant was busy
pounding some lump sugar in mortar.
Turning toward shelf, he fancied he
saw our friend the lawyer dexterously
wetting his fingers with his tongue, and
having dipped them in the powdered
sugar, applying them to that member
with evident signs and smacks OF enjoy
ment. The time had come, and the
young chemist resolved upon his course.
Resuming his postal, he began pounding
away, but in a moment stopped and
began to sneeze and wipe his eyes.
"Confound that stuff" he said, il
always makes me ill" What stuff p
exclaimed the lawyer, anxiously. "That
arsenic, replied his friend. "Arsenic !
shouted the lawyer, alarmed. eyes,
replied the chemist, as coolly as he
could, 81 was mixing" Before he
could say more the lawyer ran about the
shop shouting: Sim poisoned, Tn
poisoned; what is to be done?" "Noth
ing but an emetic for it, said the assist
ant, forthwith getting down the mustard
from shelf; and in a few moments
poor - was retching and groaning il
the greatest agony of body and mind.
1t is unnecessary to say that he ha(
not taken arsenic, but a few grains o
powdered sugar. He has not been il
his friends shop since, his two chic
difficulties being, first, to know whethe
he was poisoned or not, and secondly, il
the face of the anxious solicitations OF hi
friends after his health, to persuade him
self that nobody knows.
