When you are seriously considering
matrimony as possibility of the near fu-
ture, it is best to put your creditors in
good humor by asking for their auto
graphs on bills of goods delivered. The
man who has a right to ask you for money
may be dun but unless you pay him
you are undone. 1t is always better to
settle up before you settle down.

Four negroes were hanged for murder

-Four negroes were hanged for murder
in Donaldsonville, La, on wednesday
last. Though undoubtedly guilty, they
might have escaped punishment for their
crime but for the evidence of DIR. Joseph
Jones, who ascertained by microscopichl
and chemical analysis that the stains
upon the clothing of one Of them were
not paint, as he had asserted, but blood
spots. Further, "that the blood was that
of human being who had suffer- I'd, and
was probably suffering at the moment
when the blood was distracted, with
malarial or paroxysmal fever" 1t was
proved that Narcisse Amieux, the mur-

made by Mrs. President Hayes, which
suggt SITS that she is more anxious to heed
the relatives OF the family than her hus~
band.
Major Breckenridge, who commands
Fort Foote, "a small station on the Poto-
mac River. fifteen miles away, is a cousin
of the Hayes family, on the wifes side
Mrs. Hayes wanted the Major in Wash
ington to show up frequently at the
White House, because he is seized with
good social qualities and is just such a
hale biped as is needed at court in his
ornamental capacity. She tried to induce
Gen. Sherman to have Breckenridge as
signed to the command of the troops in
this city at the arsenal and send the pres
ent commanding officer to Fort Foote.
The heartl, IS Sherman refused to make
the exchange unless the whole COM
mands were exchanged. On Saturday,
however, in Sherman's absence, the con-
mand of Breckenridge was transferred 10

on duty here were sent to Fort Foote
