The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1878-05-16

Last week we received load of coal
from the new bank opened in Liberty
township, five miles down the Narrow
Gauge road. This is the coal mentioned
short time ago, that Mr.. N. B. Wood is
engaged in mining. A switch has been
completed from the Narrow Gauge to the
bank
We have tested this coal pretty thor
oughly. 1t is entirely different from both
the Jackson hill coal and the shaft coal,
and appears to be a kind of cross between
the two 1t is not SO dull burning coal
as the shaft coal, nor is it SO bright and
rapid burning as the hill coal, and it
lasts much longer than the hill coal
There is less cinders, or clinkers, than
in any of the Jackson coal, the entire
mass, when burned. going into white
ashes, much like wood ashes, only whittier
We have no doubt that this coal is the
western outcrop of the Jackson shaft
coal, and thus partakes of the nature both
of the shaft and hill coal That it will
make good iron there can be no doubt
and it will become very popular for both
CRATES and stoves, when fully tested.

RIngcu Hair.

In regard to a certain fashion now in
vogue, a gentleman writes the following
to the Boston lVomaa's Journal:
Every day, [ meet in the streets Of
Boston, young ladies, who would other
wise look intelligent, reduced to the
appearance of idiocy by a peculiar
method of combing the hair down over
the forehead. This hideous deformity
is evidently copied from the patients of
lunatic asylums, and schools for the
feeble-mlnded. The effect is shocking.
Although not fastidious, [ shrink from
a hideous mask. Is it a protest against
being considered strong-minded that
the young women thus assume the
garb of idiocy? [ am told that lady
thus degraded is said to have her hair
banged" But it seems to me that her
sanity must be badly banged to thus
deform herself

ROCK-A-BYE, BABY.

Rock-a-bye, baby, in the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
When the hough breaks the cradle will fall
Down tumbles baby cradle aud ALL
Bocl1-a- bye, baby; the meadows in bloom
Laugh at the sunbeams that dance in the room,
Echo the birds with your baby tune,
Coo at the sunshine and flowers of June.
Rock-a-bye, baby: as softly it swings,
Over thy cradle the mother love sings;
Bro0ding or cooling at even or dawn,
What will it do when the mother ls gone?
Rock-a-bye, baby; so cloudless the skies,
Blue as the depths of your own laughing eyes;
Sweet is the lullaby over your nest,
That tenderly sings little baby to rest.
Rock-a-b bye, baby: the blue eyes will dream
Sweetest when mammals eyes over them beam
Never again will the world seem so fair
Sleep, little baby-there are clouds i'll the air.
Rock-a-bye, baby: the blue eyes will burn
And ache with that your manhood will learn:
Swiftly the years come with sorrow and care.
With burdens the wee dimpled shoulders must
bear.
Rocks bye, baby; there's coming day
Whose sorrows mothers lips can't kiss away,
DAYS when its song shall be changed to moan
Crosses that baby must bear all alone.
Rcck-a-bye, baby; the meadows in bloom,
May never the frost pail the beauty in bloom,
Be thy world ever bright. as to-day it is seen,
Rock-a-bye, baby, - thy cradle is green.'

are produced more cheaply than the
Eastern article, SO that Western cream

Milk is selling very low in the large
cities, and only nearby diaries can af-
ford to keep in the business. Those
distant from market are being driven
to the creameries for u profitable outlet
for their product. This is unavoidable;
and many milk-farmers and butter
dairymen will follow the example. One
caution is needed: This is q season of
low prices and small pay for labor; it is
indeed "a day of small things" If,
however, quality is sacrificed, the pres
ent low level will sink yet deeper. TO
raise the quality of our product now is
to save and secure our market; and 1t
will be entirely safe to avoid the skim
milk cheese-manufacture, in trying to
get something from both butter and
cheese.

PREF had identified as her child's.
1t may not be necessary to prolong
this remarkable narrative. Concealed
in the attic were found the shawl and
hat belonging to Marie, and on array
ing Madame Blondin in the entire suit,
there was no doubt in the mind
of any of the parties vino had seen her,
that she was the party who personated
Marie Nouprez on the night of June
9TH.
1t was in vain that Madame Blondin
was questioned, for she persistently re-
fused to say anything that would shed
any light on the mystery. In the mean
time, however. some of the facts had got
wind, and q Madame Rupert made an
important communication to the police.
She said that, suspecting her husband Of
lntidelity, she recently employed Detec-
tive Place to watch him, and he found
that Monsieur Rupert was accustomed
to visit at the Blondins when the master
of the house was absent. Afterward
Place reported that he was mistaken,
and she employed private detective,
who found that both Rupert and officer
Place were on intimate terms with Ma
dame Blondin. Subsequently the pri-
vate detective obtained proof that Place
and the woman were crlminally init
mate, though he could discover nothing
to justify a beliefin Rupert's guilt.
This story opened the eyes of the
police, and Place was placed under
arrest His house, which was on the
hue Polssy, was searched, and in q
small garden q summer-house was in
in the course Of erection. The gate of
the garden was within twenty yards of
where the severed hand was found.
The summer-house was torn down and
the ground dug up. Right under the
building was discovered q rough deal
box In which the remains of the miss
ing girl were found. The body had
been dissected, and the left hand was
missing
When Place was aware of this dis
cOvery, he made confession. The ac-
quaintance begun with Madame Blon-
din when employed by Madame Rupert
ripened into familiarity, and, on the
evening OF June 2 Marie Vouprez
came upon the guilty pair in the midst

evening, after Marie had retired and
was fast asleep, Madame Blondin
strangled her in her bed. Next morn

moved the body to the cellar, having
got rid Of all the domestcs for three or
four hours. The body was dissected
and the pieces were removed by Place.
a few at time, and concealed in the
garden. How the hand had been
dropped he could not tell, but shat
very night after the general order for
the search for Marie was issued, Place
removed the last parts Of the body, and
with them the hand that was found
soon afterward. Then he put up the
job with Madame Blondin to personate
Marie, and the escape and visit to the
Vouprez's was part of the scheme.
On the trial Madame Blondin posi-
lively denied all knowledge Of the
crime, but was unable to explain how
she came by the dress of Marie, which
she was found thrusting into the spout
at the time of the detectives visit
Both man and woman were convicted
the woman being sentenced for life and
the man for ten years.

RussELLvILLE, Feb. 9th, 1s7

RUssELLvILLE, Feb. 9th, 1878.
 Mir. ED1ToR: noticed in your yalua- ble paper, an article headed Flair Warning,' in which you stated that Pope county would contend for a place on the State ticket, in the coming cam paign. You also remarked that you have in Pope county good timber to make a Governor. This article Is in- tended to endorse that last remark, and | assert that no county in the State has q man better suited or qualified to fill the honorable position of Governor, than has the county of Pope. And the history of the State will bear me out in remark that Pope county, although an old county, has never been represented in any of the State departments, and now that we have man who is well qualified; who is fully identified with every interest of the State; who is .a good financeer, and has conducted his own affairs successfully. and, who is q ripe scholar, and a gentleman in every sense of the word, we think it nothing but right that Pope county should as sert her claims to be represented. We are tired of voting all the time, and mean this year to be represented.
 Pope county will present in the com- ing campaign such man as we have above referred to, for Governor of the State, an1 that man will be Benjamin T. Embry, who, if elected, will be sure to reflect credit upon the State and up on himself. SlMON.

 --One of the Dardanelle merchants, c. M. Freed, stepped up to the Arkan- sian office the other day and subscribed for 90 copies of the paper to be sent to his customers throughout the county.

It has 12S pages, music, rich fronti spiece and nearly 100 splendid engravings- even its cover is beautifully gotten up. This delightful publication has become our nations pride. It excels in art, literature, and cheapness all other mag azines published anywhere, and is worthy of high Aonors and a universal circulation.
