MEMPHIS. TENN:

crotchets. his talk a continual flow
OF brilliant, startling, shocking,
absurd, revolutionary, quaint, rev.
erent sayings. He seems to be a
human locomotive without break
or stop-cock. He watched the SPAR
rows on the green and the pigeons
that circled over the park; he fol-
lowed the children with his eager
eyes and seemed to pine after them,
himself big, oyergrown boy. An
inexpressible sadness came into his
face sometimes, and then it was
tender and sweet as a woman's.
One cannot help feeling a deep
sympathy for the man, who with
more poise and steadiness of ma
ture, with a mental equilibrium
which has either lost or been de-
MED, perhaps with better regulated
nerve gauges, might be one Of the
ablest and most brilliant men of
the age. 1t is q terrible reflection
on our medical science that it has
found no way of restoring such a
man to the world and to himself.

!, TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE.4, 1878.

The wealthy families and the Lon
don clubs always employ, on high
pay, the most gifted Partisan talent
in their kitchens but the appetite
of the multitude is satisfied with
beef, mutton, potatoes, poor yege-
tables, hard bread and heavy, beady
beer. Such a thing as an Ameri.
can breakfast in England is un-
known. Our light bread, hot
cakes, palatable seasoning, good
coffee, are never seen; but when we
get to Paris we find ourselves COM
Portable, even if we cannot speak a
word ofthe language. Not SO with
the English. They live on their
bad fare at home without a mur-
mur, and yet they enjoy the de.
lightful dishes of Paris without
caring to initiate them on their re-
turn. Perhaps, under Mr.. Glad
stones lash, they may improve the
opportunity of the exhibition.
And so French cooking, like
French dress, is gradually master
ing civilization. 1t isa great boon
for the poor. The French peasant
or mechanic makes little 20 very
far, because he knows how to pre-
pare it; but his English brother
can boast no such capacity or COM
fort. Bad food, poor lodgings, fiery
drinks and frequent strikes make
the British workingman too often a
discOntented or a dissipated man.
1t is a wholesome contrast to note
how cheap wines, wholesome soup,
sweet bread and plenty OF yegeta-
bles produce cheerfulnoss and con-
tentment among the French. The
rule gets stronger as you ascend the
social scale. A good deal of reck-
less extOrtion is practiced by the
hotel keepers on the pretext of the
Exhibition, and some of them are
almost criminal in their swindling
charges. But here, as elsewhere,
you must live to learn, as well as
learn to live. You must find out
for yourself how to get fair play.
Some Of my American friends live
nicely at ten francs a day for bed
and board, and Others for less, but
those who want to spend money
can find many pretexts for their
extravaganza.

MRS. KINGS INHERITANCE.
The Mu'der OF Lawyer In New
York IL Recalled by n suit In san
Francisco

The Murder OF n Lawyer In New
York IL Recalled by n suit In San
Francisco.
The story of the killing of An
thony F. O'Neill by James g. King,
in 1872, for which the murderer is
serving out life term of imprison-
ment, is revived by an item from
San Francisco concerning the dis
tribution of the estate of Kings
father-in-law. King, who was at
one time an influential merchant in
San Francisco, was nevertheless
deemed by Mr.. William Stott an
ineligible son-in-law. But he
married Mr. Stott's daughter, and
subsequently, tried to shoot his
father-in-law. This happened in
the Sandwich Islands, whence
King departed suddenly, and where
Stott q few years since died, leav-
ing a valuable estate. By her
fathers will, Mrs..King was given
the income of the estate only while
her husband lived.
Upon his death she was to come
into possession of the principal.
When King came from the Sand
wich Island he brought his wife,
and they settled in Orange county,
near the home of Mr.. A. +. 0'Neiil.
Mrs. O'Neill and Mrs. King became
warm friends, and when the latter,
in 1872, sOnght for a divorce from
her husband, the sympathies of the
O'Neills were on her side. King
affected to believe that a criminal
intimacy existed between his wife
and Mr.. O'Neill, and was infuriated
by that gentleman's interest in her
behalf. Mrs. Kings divorce pro-
ceedings were conducted before a
referee, and on the 18th of Novem-
Der, 1872, after a hearing, when the
parties and their friends were go
ing ont of his office, King Jagged
behind in going TO the stairs, and
after 0'Neill had passed before him,
drew a pistol and shot him. The
victim died almost instantly.
King was convicted of murder in
the second degree, and his sentence
was imprisonment for life. There
upon bis wife sued in San Francis
co for the principal of her fathers
estate-some $25, 900, remaining in
the hands of j. G. Merrill, execu-
tor-claiming that since her hus-
band had become a convict he was
dead, in law, and consequently, by
the provisions of the will, she was
entitled to distribution of the
property. The suit is in progress
in the Probate Court of that city.
King is in Sing Sing prison, and
seems resigned to a lie of imprison-
ment.

An American is always astonished
with his hotel bills in Europe, es-
pecially as to the numerous extras
that are attached to them. First
comes the charge for the rooms;
next one franc to one and a half
per day for attendance to each per.
son; then the inevitable "bougle"
(candle), which are to be paid for
whether burnt or not. Here at Nice
there is an additional charge of
from one to two francs per day to
each person for servants in the din
ing saloon. When you depart your
chambermaid, the waiter and the
baggage-men all expect to be feed.
Besides this, you will find in your
bill a charge for taking your bag
gage to your room and bringing it
down again, and when you reach
the depot the omnibus man expects
a fee for experimenting the. de-
livery of your baggage, although
the omnibus charge is in the hotel
bill also. The European plan of
hotel. keeping, when the extras are
all added, foots up from four to six
dollars per day, provided you take
your meals in the hotels, and in
London, if you take your meals
elsewhere, the charge for the room
is double.

in taking that parasol. You are

enough for this day."
Mrs. Coles and her friends were
in tears, and as soon as the, justice
finished speaking they all crowded
about her and shook her hands
warmly. Mrs. Coles seemed ready
to faint. She was taken home in a
carriage.

was every inch a man, and the in
terrupter in the audience asserted
he "was as good a man as Train"
Mr.. Train asked his name, and re-
ceived the reply that it was none of
his business. The question was put
to a vote whether he should be re-
quired to give his name. The au-
dience roared, "Aye." The man
preferred to go out, and as he did
so Mr.. Train shouted, "Don't 90
out; don't CO." There were many
women there, and, getting frighten-
ed, they began to quit the theater.

PeriIs of Shopping In New York
CITY


Mrs. Annie Hustled Coles was ar
raigned in the Jefferson Market
Police Court, few days ago, to be
examined on the charge of having
stolen a parasol from Altman &
Co.'S store in Sixth avenue. Mrs
Coles is Speaker Husted's cousin,
aud is related to Mahlon Chance,
late consul at Nassau, N. P. She
was accompanied to court by a
party Of forty ladies and gentlemen.
Central Office Detective Wood, who
arrested Mrs. Coles, said that he
did go by request of Detective Fer
tis. He described Mrs. Coles ac-
tion from the time she was seen TAX
ing up the parasof in Altman's.
"Did you observe in her conduct
anything at any time that char
acterizes the shoplilter?" Justice
Murray asked.
"Well, yes" the officer answered,
''but only in one particular. When
! arrested her she acted very much
like a shoplifter | once arrested.
She was very nervous"
Wood also testified that, although
watched very closely, Mrs, Coles
was never seen to look at the two
parasols in her hand, or act as if
she knew that she held them.
How can this fellows fimsy evil
dence agree with the inscription of
Mrs. Coles on the police register as
a "well known pickpocket?" Yet
just such an inscription has been
made, and the fellow is yet unpun-
ished for the brutal outrage. Pub
lie opinion, however, is exercising
rigorous pressure, on competent
authorities, which will make them
abolish the stupid, brutal arrogance
which this case, most fortunately,
has brought to light; and it will,
doubtless, procure the severe pun
ishment Of the fanciful officer.
Mrs. Coles thus concluded her
testimony: 81 solemnly aver had
no intention Of purloining the par
asol, nor was | aware it was in my
hand until my attention was drawn
to it,"
After her lawyer had read let.
ter from a prominent New York
lady, relating an experience similar
to Mrs, Coles, Mr., James b. Silk
man, of No. "a Wall street, a ven-
eFable white-haired gentleman in
deep mourning, arose and said; 81
do not know a soul in this room.
| have come here, negleoting very
important business, because | feel
this ia a case that will arouse the
whole community and it Is the
duty Of all Of US to learn just where
we stand with the police, ! come
also to tell you that o lady Of my
acquaintance in this city, whose
husband is q prominent member of
the Produce Exchange, and who is
worth in her own name over $780,
600, had an exactly similar expe-
rience to Mrs, Coles, except that
with her umbrellas were substituted
for parasols, She was not arrested,
luckily, because, perhaps, it was not
In this city. It was not kleptoma.
MIA, but simply, as with Mrs. Coles,
Observation-Disclosures"
"This arrest should never have
