the statements made by Paul Refe the bar

he knew nothing at all of the circumstance.
At length, moved partly by empled threats
and partly by pledges of immunity, he told
his story, which is formally reduced to writ

Among the criminal sensations in France
is one of most singular character, the facts
in which are embodied in the subjoined
narrative. tg
In 1882 Jean Migaud owned a farm near
Perigeux, He had been married three
times, and was a widower with one daughter,
aged about Is Migaud was Jolly, good
natured man, fond of the good things of this
world, and not remarkable for chsste life
He was As years of age, and wealthy. His
daughter Eloise was handsome. and, though
young, OF mature form. One Gilbert Samson,
tbs son OF a neighboring wine dealer, had
sought E,oise's company, but her father bad
driven the youth from the place with angry
words, which refiec Led on the elder Samson.
This was on April 80.
When young Samson told his father what
had happened the latter was heard to use
threats toward Migaud, and TO take an GA h
that he would avengs the insult offered to
him. In the meantime young Samson and
Eloise met in secret, and whatever might be
the feeling between their elders, there was a
most complete understanding between them,
as the sequel will show.

IKokomo Tribune.l

On last Sunday morning, John J. Cooper
retired from the management of the Ind a.
napolis Sentinel and was succeeded by John
c. Shoemaker, formerly president of the
company. We take this occasion say that
the Sentinel has been much better paper
this year than ii ever was before. 1t gives
all the news, and its editorials are able.
Although it Is wickedly democratic, the
Sentinel is a first class journal in every other
respect, and its subscription list ought to be
largely increased next year.

A srRANG STORY.

On August Is. 1873, Paul Refe, wealthy
carriage manufacturer of Paris, died. Before
his death, in the presence of the proper au-
tbolties, he made a conft ssion or statement,
which ls given in full:
in 1862, lived with my wife, since dead
at the Hill Side, near Perigneux. | was
very poor, and made a meager livelihood by
mendIng the vehicles of the neighboring
farmers. / bad had little work for some
time, and had nothing in the house TO eat
My wife, who had a young baby at the
breast, proposed that I should go out that
night-April 10 1552-and steal some of
neighbor's fowls. l lived only a couple of
hundred yards from the place. and when all
was quiet, about ii o'clock, / went outside
into the street to see that all was clear.

man came out OF the lane that led to

man was upon me too quickly, and recog

cited that he could notspesk. and / observed
that he held pistol IN bis right hand
He made an attempt TO speak, but uttered
only inarticalate sounds. and, pushing me
aside, entered the house. / had often work ed

Men of Few Words.

ID Some men use words as rifemen do
bullets. They say but little. The few
words go right to the mark. They let
you talk, and guide your face and eyes
on and on, till what you say can be an
swered in a word or two, and then they
launch. out a sentence, pierce the mat
ter to the quick, and are done. Your
conversation falls into their minds as a
river into deep chasm, and is lost
from sight by its depth and darkness.
They will sometimes surprise you with
d few words that go to the mark like a
gull-shot, and then they are silent again,
as if they were reloading. Such men
are safe counsellors and true friends,
where they profess to be such. To them
truth is more valuable than gold, while
pretensions is too gaudy to deceive
them. Words without point to them
are like titles without merit, only be-
traying the weakness ofthe blind dupes
who are ever used to forward other
mems schemes e

Singing in the Family.

p Cultivate singing In the family. Be-
gin when the child is not yet three years
old. The songs and hymns your mother
sang, bring them all back to memory,
and teach them to your little ones; mix
them all together, to meet the similar
moods, as in after life they came over
us so mysteriously sometimes. Many
a time and oft, in the very whirI of bus
mess, in the sunshine and gayety of the
streets, and amid the splendor of the
drives in park, some little thing wakes
upthe memories of early youth-the
old mill, the cool spring, the shady tree
by the little school house-and the next
instant we almost see again the ruddy
cheeks, the smiling faces, md the merry
eyes of the schoolmates, some gray
headed now, but the most file moulder-
ing in the grave" And 'the song your
mother. sang" springs unbidden to the
lips, and soothes and sweetens ali these
memories. AT other times, amid the
crushing mishaps of business, a merry
ditty ofthe olden time pops up its little
head. breaks in from behind the clouds
in the sky, and new courage is given
to us. The honest man goes singing to
his work, and when the days labor is
done, his tools laid aside, and he is on
his way home, where wife and child,
and tidy table, and cheerful freside
await him, he cannot but whistle or
sing.

While you tread the earth's highway,
Still against them brsvely tussle,

And in every kind Of weather.

And should act q traitors part.

Ordinary humanity. when released

His voice has been seething and swell
