A MURDERER,S CONFESSION.

A man in the northern part of the prov
ince of Rio Janeiro has confessed upon his
deathbed that he was the real author of the
murder of a family of eight persons in
1852, for which a wealthy planter by name
Motta Coqueiro, and three of his slaves,
were executed in 1856. The house in
which the victims lived was set on fire
after the crime had been committed. Sus-
picion having fixed itself on Motta Coquei-
70, he and three of his slaves were brought
to trial. The evidence was weak, but so
strong was the feeling against the planter
that the jury found him guilty, and the
Court of Relation at Rio confirmed the
sentence of death. He and his friends
strenuously asserted his innocence, and
when it was found hopeless to obtain his
acquittal, every possible effort was made to
induce the Emperor to grant him pardon.
1t is even said that sums of $3.50, 600 were
promised to persons around the Empress
to induce them to enlist her sympathies on
behalf of the condemned man, and thus, by
means of her intercession with the EN-
peror, to attain the object in view. All,
however, was in vain. The Emperor was
firm; the Empress declined to interfere;
the Government sent vessel Of war to
Macahe to prevent any attempt at rescue,
md Motta Coqueiro and his three slaves
were executed for crime which it now
turns out they never committed. The
man who lately died acknowledged that he,
assisted by some of his dependents, delib-
erately murdered all the inmates of the
house, which they afterward burned.

The most rapid feat on record in loco.
motive building is noted by the Detroit
Free Press at jackson, Michigan. The
gangs of workmen, numbering fourteen
men each, attempted to put two locomo-
tives together in the shortest time yet
made.
''The jacks were applied, the huge boil
ers were raised and bolted on their frames,
then they were placed on their wheels with
oil possible expedition, while simultaneous
ly work was progressing on every portion
of the machines, which were rapidly as
suming perfect form. Water was let into
the boilers, and sgen while men were work
ing at the CRATES the fires were kindled and
the ''infanty" began to warm up for their
work. At last one of them is ready for the
smoke stack, and is pulled along the track
until she stops beneath the one designed
for her, which hangs above her.
Lower away, cast off your tackle, 60
ahead' and the yard engine pulls her out
of the house and to another shop for COM
pletion, her constructors working as she
moves, and busy hands being employed in
fastening the bolts which hold the smoke
stack in its place. A few moments more,
and the last screw is turned, the last bolt is
fastened, the engineer stands in his place,
and in just two hours and ifty-fve minutes
from the time the signal to commence is
given the throttle is pulled, and the first of
the twins moves off completed, followed, a
moment later, by her mate"
All the pieces of machinery connected
with the locomotive had been finished and
ready for use beforehand, but none had
been fitted. On the same day, the two
new engines made trips of seventy six
miles each and worked nicely.

TELLING POisIUNEs.

It seems singular that in these ehlighS-
ened days there should exist people who
believe in fortune telling; but that many
such crednIous fools do live and have their
being is proved beyond doubt by the ex-
istenee of hundreds of men and women
who earn handsome competence by pre-.
dieting the future. 1t is only "a certain class
of people who desire to have their fortunes
told. married woman whose husband ia
true to her, never tries "to, speer her for
tune, ," unless she has lost mpney or spoons.
A girl, who knows Just what her beau's in.
tentions are, loses her interest in sorcery
But let womans heart be. troubled, let
her believe her lover false, or long for the
young prince who comes not, or have
doubts of her "wor er half" then, ac-
cording to her position in society, does she
seek the prophetic Mrss Swasher, who
keeps pack of greasy cards in her pocket,
in some fourth-story back-room, to seek
the secrets of destiny. Is it any wonder
that she goes home trembling, with visions
of "dark-haired gentleman, with his heart
toward you; but, my DEAR I'm sorry to say
a alight-haired rival atwixt YOU" troubling
her soul? Or with awe-stricken remem
brnnce of some awful utterance concerning
"spirits once united-now torn asunder."
Stay at home and read your own fortune;
it is easy enough to do so if you have the
proper clues: First, desire often amounts
to prophecy; what you want mostyou gen
orally have. Secondly, nature not only
prompts our longings, but works for their
attainment, Thirdly, what you have done
in the past you will do in the future; it will
be only the old tune with variations. And,
fourthly, a certain philosopher declares
that if you really, earnestly wish for any
thing you may sit on a rock in the middle
of the sea and wait for that thing will come
to you at last. This is rather far-fetohed
idea; but it illustrates the. power of the will
over events which concern yourselves.

EEOFE 1t n N'ES.

Some of the recent elopements are inter-
esting. Mr.. Bean took his wife to con-
cert in Manchester, N. B., slipped away
from her, went home, packed his clothes in
q trunk stole s., 900 of her money, and ran
away with neighbours spouse. The Rev.
Jas. Deverigny abandoned his Michigan
parish, leaving large number of debts,
and taking along Deacon Snells daughter.
A young couple in Danforth, Ky, on
whose union parents frowned, fled to-
gether on single horse; but the over
loaded beast was unable to outrun the one
on which the girls father pursued, and the
elopement was o failure. Two lovers who
eloped from Milwaukee by railroad were SO
closely followed that, for fear of being
overtaken, they did not stop long enough
at any station to get married. At length,
after three days of incessant travel, they
found a clergyman on"the train, who per-
formed the ceremony.

tendance, an eminent man in his profes-
sion, prescribed astrychnia pill to n eutral-
ize the poison. Had the Pill done its duty,
science declares that such would
have been the inevitable result, but the
patient kept on getting worse and worse,
the doctor kept on increasing the dose
from one to two and then three, five, and
at last six pills at time. But
the lead poison in the mans
system wouldn't be neutralized on any
terms, and the patient, looking upon life
az hard conundrum, at last gave it
up" After his death the prescribe d
strychnia pills were found behind his
bed. The patient had triaed with
science as foolish boys play with gun
powder, and was hOisted to kingdom
come. The scientific physician who pre-
scribed the strychnia pills declares that
the deception cost the patient his life.
1t is quite probable, 1t is at all times
dangerous to ignore science and fall back
on common sense, and any one who does
it takes his life, so to speak, into his own
hands; but the friends of that French
gentleman who scruplcd not to fool his
doctor, say that had he swallowed the
few dozen strychnia pills prescribed in
stead Of concealing them in the bed, his
funeral would have come off several days
earlier than it did,

AN AMERICAN DRSET.

An amusing story is told, of which it is
averred that no less parsonage than the
late George Peabody, the celebrated Ameri-
can banker, was the hero. 1t appears that
Mr.. Peabody ha9 invited three Englishmen
to meet two Americans at dinner, aud on
this occasion, having received as gift ten
ears of green corn, determined to renew
the recollections of his YOUTH astonish his
English and please his American guests by
having it served up in the well-known
American style. Accordingly, at proper
time, plates of butter and salt were placed
before each guest, and the banker, with
something of an air of mystery, announced
that he was now about to treat his guests to
Q yell-known and delicious American dish
of food, cooked in tho American manner.
1t would be no novelty to his American
guests, but the Englishmen must watch
how it was disposed of by them, and follow
their example and manner in disposing OF
it. Then, at signal, entered stately but
Ter, bearing large covered dish, which he
deposited solemnly before Mr.. Peabody.
In a moment more, in obedience to the
bankers nod, he whisked off the cover
and there before tile astonished guests was
displayed a pile of ten boiled corneobs!
The banker gazed for an instant in mute
horror and dismay, and then found voice to
demand an explanation, which was finally
reached when the cook was Btinmoned-a
fellow who had never before seen an ear of
Indian corn in his life. He replied that he
had followed his masters directions to strip
of all the outside before boiling, which he
had done most faithfully, not only the husks
as was intended, but kernels also, so that the
banker had only what is, in America the
plate evidence of the feast to indicate what
were his good intentions to his guests.

A MODEL TRAMP.

On ono of the coldest days last winter,
German man called at house and asked
for something to eat, saying he had just
come from Kankakee and his feet were
frozen. The lady gave him something to
eat medicine for his feet, and pair of
socks. He went away, and nothing was
seen of him until the other day, when he
returned and wanted to pay for the things
he had received last winter. He would not
leave until the lady had taken fifty eeats

FIVE SCORE AND FOUR.

John Jackson, of Flanna, near Good
Sound, Suffolk county, N. Y, died recently,
having reached the extraordinary age of l04
years and twenty seven days. He was
quite celebrated horse breeder, and fol-
lowed the business up to within few
years of his death. Only "a few years ago,
he undertook to break q lively, colt, and,
mounting it, was thrown and considerably
injured. This was his last essay in this
business, but he kept actively at work al
other pursuits.

EXENG TEHE PLANETS.

It is an interesting fact that there arc
very few persons in the world possessinga a
peculiar keenness of vision enabling them
TO see certain planets with the unaided eye.
People with the ordinary power of sight
usually see six of the stars Of the Pleiades ;
Kepler mentioned one person who, with
the naked eye, could see fourteen, and
Lithrow another who saw sixteen. Dr.
Dawes, an English clergyman and astrono-
mer, was remarkable for his powers of dis
tinguishipg very faint spots of light; and
Mr.. @. NJ. Ward, an amateur astronomer,
in the North of ireland, is known among
scientific men for having viewed two of the
four moons of Uranus with so small and
simple help as four-inch telescope. In
this country, Mr. s. W. Burnan, of Chica-
go, is noted for the particularly acute
vision which reveals to him double stars.
The astronomers of other lands often call
upon him to decide vexed questions relat'
ing TO these stars.

The following scrap of history, relating
to the Paris Commune, is told by an Eng
Ish paper: AS several yersaillese were be-
ing led away to be shot, one man in the
crowd that accompanied them to see the
shooting made himself conspicuous by
taunting and reviling the prisoners.
"There. cohfound you," said one of the
prisoners at last, "don't you try to get out
of it by edging off into the crowd and pre-
tending you are one of them. Come back
here; the game is up; let us all die to-
gether;" and the crowd was SO persuaded
that the communard's vehemence was only
assumed to cloak his escape that he was
mached into file with the prisoners and
duly shot.
