A Curious Murder Case.

The execution of BzZell In Concord, New
Hampshire, on Thursday, marks the ending of
one OF the most curious and interesting murder
cases ON record. man, after acquittal as
principal In murder, is hung as an accessory
before the fact, On the evidence OF the SELF
accused murderer. The latter was arrested as
an incendiary, confessed his guilt, confessed
also that he had committed the murder In ques-
ton at the instigation Of Buzzell, and as final
confession Acknowledges that he Is a perjurer
and that his second confession Is a lie, the re-
suit Of conspiracy between him and the de-
tectives, who In turn confess also and confirm
his story. Nevertheless BuZZen Is hanged
While the circumstances of the case
point strongly to BuZzell as In some
way implicated In the murder, the
evidence In the trial In which he was con-
victed was substantially the same as that 10
which be was acquitted, with the exception of
the testimony which was afterwards confessed
to be perjured, and thus made worthless. For
whether or not the original evidence of the
detectives and OF the supposed principal in the
murder be accepted as the more reasonable
story, the fact Of Its retracton as the result of
confessed conspiracy is at least enough to
destroy its effect, since it Is the testimony OF
witnesses who are perjurers in any event.
The boy who pronounced himself an in
cendiary. murderer, and perjurer, in rapid
and contradictory succession, has con-
WINGED every one that he might be any
or all Of these, but so little can he be be-
lieved that his testimony even against himself
Is held worthless. The most gifted and self
conscious OF Louisiana witnesses must feel
mean and small as he contemplates this yonth-
full prodigy. The people OF New Hampshire
are coming to think that the system of capital
punishment Is unsatisfactory. Many accused
murderers are, unsatisfactory, acquitted:
some, concerning whose guilt there are grave
doubts, are unsatisfactory convicted; and
considerable proportion Of those who are ex-
ecuted are bunglingly and unsatisfactory
hanged. These are objections more against
the manner In which the system is carried out,
than against the system itself: but they viii
be urged with effect In support of the bill
abolish capital punishment, which, it Is ex
pected, will be offered in the New Hampshire
legislature.

GEOGRAPHY AND NEWSPAPERS
The New Y Ork Herald desires to impress
on the public the fact that newspapers
have become great teachers of geography.
and have increased, beyond all the pos
sibilities of the schools. valuable kmowl-
edge regarding distant places and foreign
people Each week statements. which
relate to the affairs OF the most widely
separated countries and cities, appear III
the newspaper. Obscure rivers become
famous in connection with great events
I occurring on their banks names of
towns are suddenly elevated into import
ance by being associated with moment
Gus incidents. When wars cOnvulse and
deYaState, OF famine and pestilence
ScOurge other populations and countries,
the first inquiry made bv the intelligent
reader of foreign news Is where are these
things happening. and reference must be
made to a map to ascertain the infOTma-
tiOn which they require. Now. why,
suggests the Herald. cannot the news
paper be utilized by the teachers Of geo
gTaphy in the school Instead of taking
class through the dreary list of cities,
/ towns, rivers, capes, islands, &c, until
/ the mind is wearied by the mOnOtony of
recitation and memory is logged more
| by the sing-sonC association of sounds
than the intelligent retention of names
and their relation to places and objects,
! the teacher should take the foreign news
I in newspaper and read: ''The Thesis
! river isrising and threatening Szegedin;'
/ Where is the Thesis p '-What and
where is SZegedin - Or, Bulgaria
/ has chosen a ruler" ''Where is Bull
garia :" Such practical questions at
/ once awaken the interest of the scholar
+ in the subject; he associates current
news with interesting and useful infOr-
nation. end thus acquires much more
geography by this method than he pos
sibly could obtain in the ordinary way.
Indeed. if the newspaper is regarded, rs
. it ought to be. as an educator, it viii
/ fulfill in schools and families many of
/ the useful purposes of text books in art,
/ science. and literature, and especially is
there Il natural alliance between Ccog-
raphv and newspapers. Hence how in
complete and how inadequate is the
reading matter of family without the
addition Of good newspaper.

before Sandy, on whom every eye was
fixed, had half told his story, the two
stole out and were seen no more.
Sandy's story was this: On the day
his mistress died, he had signed the pa
per produced at her husbands request,
but not in her presence, and without
knowing what it was, being told that his
signature was merely formal matter.
He had not seen the mistress that day till
he saw her in her coffin. As to what
happened to himself. he could only say
that. hearing him complain of a slight
headache, to which he was subject, DR..
Dolus had given him a potion, after
which he was conscious of nothing till
he found himself lying on n table, and
two young gentlemen standing over him
with knives.
The will was rejected of course, and
little Charley got his mothers fortune.
There was a strong belief that she, too,
had been the victim of foul play; but
the culprits had gone beyond the reach
of punishment.

How DRY IT WAS.-An honest old

1T was so dry we couldn't spare water to

that every time the wind blew it flew around
like so much ashes There wasn't a tear

up all the cattle, and burned of the hair till
they looked like Mexican dogs, and the
sheep all looked like poodle puppies, they
shrank up so. We had to soak all our hogs
to make 'em hold swill, and if any cattle
were killed in the morning they'd be dried
beef at dark. The wood dried up 50 that
