The Chisholm Murders.

The press of Mississippi is busily engaged
preparing the public mind for the acquittal Of
the CHISHOLM murdcrcrs at the ''lively time"
expected at the March court. The Meridian

A Young Lady's Kind Act.

About 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
says the New York Times of June 10Th,
Miss Lulu Prange, a young lady who re-
sides on Fulton Street, while walking
on Clinton near De Kalb Avenue, Brook
lyn, had her pocket-book, which she car
ried in her hand, taken away from her.
1t was taken so quickly and SO gently
that she thought that some friend was
playing a trick on her. Almost before
she had time to turn her head, man
dressed in the garb of a laborer passed
her with the pocket-book in his hand.
She called to him to stop, but, not heed
ing her summons, he broke into a run.
Miss Prange hailed a passing butcher
cart, and getting in requested the driver
to pursue the thief. After running about
three blocks the fugitive stopped and
when Miss Prangc reached him handed
back the pocket-bo k. When asked
why he had taken it, he replied that he
was desperate. He had, he said, wife
and two children who were starving.
Being unable to buy bread for them, he
was forced to steal. Miss Prange said
she would accompany him to his resi-
dence, and if the story were true she
would not prosecute. At No. 335 De
Kalb Avenue, she found the mans wife
and his two children in a room absolute
ly destitute of furniture. The children
were crying with hunger. Miss Prange
gave half the money in her pocket book
tn hn
Soon after Miss Prange had reached the
apartment of the man who had taken
the pocket-book policeman arrived.
The lady refused to make any charge,
but the officer insisted on arresting the
man. The prisoner, who said his name
was Theodore Hollis, was taken to the
Fourth Precinct Station-house. Hollis,
who is described as an honest industri
GUS man, has been out of employment
| for several months. Miss Prange has
resolutely refused to prosecute him.

"I'm sure it was a providence that
led me to run against Grandfather Dill
that stormy night said John; ''but
for that his daughter would surely have
died of her hardships, and the poor lit
tie boy would have been left to charity,
which was what she most dreaded. But
then 1 suppose there's providence irr
every thing.
He's the strangest man I ever saw"
said Lawyer Hatch, speaking of John.
- He took as much pains to hunt up an
heir to the old man, and to give her the
money that was willed to him, as any
body else would to have kept one out of
the way"

A Valuable Improvement in Cooking

The utility and convenience of n shelf at
tachment to the oven of cooking stoves Is now
universally acknowledged by all housekeep-
ers who have used or seen them, and it Is
matter of choice whether the shelf is perma-
nently attached TO the side of the stove or
opened and closed inside of the oven by the
movement of the door. The Grand Charter
Oak will hereafter be constructed so as either
the automatic or permanent shelf can be or
dered with any size. Our attention has been
called to a circular contsining a caution
against the use of automatic shelves, issued
by certain parties who claim to own letters
patent No. $4,000, stating that they nave
brought suit against this Company for in
fringement on said patent. and warning all
persons not to buy or use stoves having such
shelves and made by us. We have only This
to say in regard to the matter, that zoe shdH
UigOr0aSly defend this suit, and have 10
doubt of our success in such defense, and
hereby Cgree TO protect each and erery per-
son buying, selling or HSiyig our Grand Char
ter Oak, or other stoves of our manufacture
from any damage by reason of any claim said
parties can have under said letters patent
Our construction of shelves is not only cover
ed and fully protected by valid letters patent
owned by US, but are acknowledged by deal
ers and all others who have seen them to be
much more simple iR copsfrtction,to operate
easter, and TO be less liable to get out Of or
der than amy other kind IN the market. We
will cheerfully ship a sample of our Grand
Charter Oak with an automatic shelf to any
responsible dealer or housekeeper who de-
sires to examine it before purchasing, and at
end Of ten days, IL IL is not acknowledged as
having more conveniences and being the best
constructed, finest finished, most elegantly
proportioned, perfectly operating and heavi-
est cooking stove ever made or offered for the
price at which il is rapidly being sold, it can
be held subject to our order, and we will pay
all expenses. Respectfully yours,

the head of one of the principal I'M
perial naval bureaus, had been sent to
the United States by the Russian Gov
eminent purposely to inspect in the most
thorough manner the actual character
of American work. Of course, the Rus
sian Captain was perfectly posted.
Vices of construction, Sighted work,
this officer unhesitatingly spoke about.
From his judgment there was no appeal.
He knew exactly what was wanted :;
could estimate with rapidity what such
or such a vessel was worth, what re-
pairs would cost, how many thousands
of dollars it would take to change a
merchant steamer so as to fit her with
guns in fact, the whole minutie of
naval construction was at his fingers
ends. 1t may be interesting to note this
event as resembling some little the well
known story of how Peter the Great
went to Holland to learn ship building.
1t has taken, then, some centuries only
for Russia to send over here an expert,
who, in a peculiarly original way, was
enabled to inform himself as to the char
acter of American work. As we do not
build iron ships or large marine ma
chinery in New York, it was in Phila-
delphia, in Chester, Wilmington and
Baltimore that the Russian officer as
sumed the incognito.

An Unparalleled Case.

The New York papers announced, a
few day ago. that an Italian youth, aged
10, had fallen desperately in love with a
French girl of 16, while they were cross
ing the Atlantic in steamship togeth-
err. He could speak no French, she
could speak no Italian, and they had no
common tongue in which to communi
cate their thoughts and feelings. New
ertheless, he managed to inform her by
eloquent pantomime of the fervor of his
passion, but without making any par
ticular impression upon her. He did
not despair, however. He continued
his voiceless suit, and took occasion
during its progress to inform her of his
financial condition, giving her to under
stand that it was such as to fully justify
him in the preparation of marriage.
This part of his communication was OBJ
served to touch her; her former indiffer-
ence disappeared; she rapidly melted
into compliance; and when they reach
ed our shores, they were promptly unit
ed. The New York Times comments:
ssThe sentimental will say that this
proves that love needs no words to ex-
press itself; that it has its own peculiar
language, silence that speaks, eloquence
of eyes, etc. The satirists will contend
that money won where affection failed;
and we are forced to admit that the
thing lies open to this construction.
But if such be the truth, let US remem-
Der that the girl is French, a mere for
eigner. Let US comfort ourselves that
such thing could not happen here.
Who has ever heard of an American
girl moved to marriage by the vulgar
consideration of money!"
