Wife Poisoning in Scotland.

A trial similar in some respects to that
now going on in New Jersey was COM
menced May Z in the high court of JUS
ticiary, Edinburgh, before the lord justice
clerk (Lord Moncrieff). The prisoner at
about 45 years CT age, teacher Of the
French language, and the charge against
him is that he poisoned his wife, Eliza
beth Cullen or Dyer, by administering
opium to her in an orange or in lemonade.
1t was also charged against him that he
bore ill-will and malice toward his wife;
that he had falsely accused her Of
adultery and incest; that he had struck
and maltreated her, and that he had
threatened to shoot and poison her. The
lord advocate and solicitor general and
Advocates Deputy Burnett and Nuirhead
were for the prosecution; while Mr.. Tray
ner, Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Shaw, advo-
estes, appeared for the prisoner.
At the outset an objection was taken to
the form of the Indictment, which was
sustained to the extent that that part of it
which averred that the prisoner had false
ly accused his wife of adultery and incest
was struck out. It is alleged that the
murder was committed on last New Years
day, and at the court yesterday anumber of
witnesses were examined in regard to the
circumstances connected with the death
of Nine. Chantrelle. She was a young
woman, 26 years of age, of prepossesslng
appearance, who had at one time been a
pupilof NJ. Chantrelle. She was married
to him when she was only seventeen years
of age. Three sons were the fruit of the
marriage. It appeared that the pair had
lived a very unhappy life, and that Nine.
Chantrelle on many occasions had reason
to complain of her husbands cruelty.
On New Years day their servant had a
holiday. She went away in the morning
to take part with her friends in the fes-
tivities of the day, leaving Nine. Chantrelle

Mrs. Winston was sleeping softly, and
Mr.. Winston was sleeping loudly. That
didn't disturb him, for he was deaf: it
didn't disturb her for she was very tired.
The servants in the attic were asleep,
and all was peaceful and calm. 1t was
about one o'clock.
Suddenly Mrs. Winston started. In
the moonlight she saw two men stepping
softly about the room. She did not
scream. She would not whisper to her
husband, or rather he couldn't hear if she
did. The burglars saw that she vas
awake. One of them came up to the bed.
''If you wake him up he said, holding
a pistol in bis hand--"if you wake him
up, I'll make short work with you and
with him, too. Where's your money!"

A Triumph.

A Triumph.
Little Roger up the long slope rushing
Through the rustling corn,
Showers of dewdrops from the broad leaves
brushing
In the early morn,
At his sturdy little shoulder bearing
For banner gay,
Stem of fir with one long shaving taring
In the wind away!
Up he goes, the summer sunshine flushing
Der him in his race,
Sweeter dawn of rosy childhood blushng
On his radiant face.
Ii lie can but set his standard glorious
On the hill-toplo
Ere the sun climbs the clear sky victorious,
All the world aglow
So he presses on with childish ardor,
Almost at the top.
Hasten Roger! Does the way grow harder:
Wherefore do you stop?
From below the corn stalks tall and slender
Comes plaintive cry
Turns he for an instant from the splendor
OF the crimson sky,
Waivers, then 60 flying toward the hollow,
Calling loud and clear;
Coming, Jenny! Oh, why did you follow:
Don't you cry, my dear!"
Small Janet sits weeping mid the daisies;
Little sister sweet,
Must you follow Roger?' Then he raises
Baby on her feet,
Guides her tiny steps with kindness tender,
Checrfully and gay.
All his courage and his strength would lend
her
Up the uneven way,
Till they front the blazing Eas, together;
But the sun has rolled
Up the sky in the still Summer weather,
Flooding them with gold.
All forgotten is the boys ambition,
Low the standard lies,
Still they stand, and gaze-a swecter vision
Meier met mortal eyes.
That was splendid, Roger, that was glorious
Thus to help the weak;
Better than to plant your flag victorious
On earth's highest peak!

There is a curious story about some native

Some OF his heirs entertained temperance

unwilling to allow the stock of wines the :, on
hand to be sold or any more TO be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for settlement
of the estate and the sale of the wines on
hand. Among these is wine of the vintage
Of 1864, described rs "Swect Union Port"

than any other European wine, and being
