A HORRIBLE STORY of a woman's
revenge is told thus Recently id Chi
huabua, Mexico, a woman went into a
shoemaker's shop IN front Of his dwell
ling aud was measured for a pair OF
shoes. The shoemaker said TO the wo-
man " You have a very pretty foot. "
Do you think so ~ said she. He re
Piled, "fes that is the prettiest foot
In Mexico" The woman was to come
back next day and leave one dollar,
when the shoes were to be commenced.
The shoemaker's wife hearing all saia
nothing. The next day the woman with
the pretty foot called, according to
agreement, aud, the shoemaker being
out, the wife got her into the back room
and stabbed her to death The wife
then cut a steak out Of the dead wo-
mans leg and packed the body under
the bed. The shoemaker came home
and ate his dinner. The wife asked
him how be liked the meat. He an.
swered that s' it was the best he had
ever eaten" The wife then told him
he had eaten part of the "prettiest les
in America" He asked her what she
meant She showed him the body un.
the bed, aud made a dash at him with q
knife, but he escaped and ran to Pala.
Gle and told the Judge what had hap
pened. The Judge summoned guard
of soldiers and went to the house. He
asked the wife if she bad committed
the murder, and when she answered
yes, and attempted to justify the act
he ordered her to be shot by the sol
diers, and his orders were instantly
obeycd.

An exchange says: One Of the most
persistent and powerful propagators
of republican principles in France is
Freemasonry. This institution is
much more serious than with us. Ii
is the center of union, the rallying
point, for all those who rebel against
unjust claims of the clergy and dom
ination of aristocratic and monarch
ical institutions. The Masonic lodge
is the sacred place for the French
Freemasons-socially, politically and
religiously. They care for their own
poor, their own orphans, and them
selves, in degree not yet attained
by our Masonic bodies. Instead of
building costly ediices, they spend
their money in caring for the needy.
! The exterior show OF Masonry in
Franc. is almost nothing, but its ef-
fects upon tn2 people is feared by the
| Church

IT is one of the commonest OF
transactions for a man to make way
with his wi.e's money, but it is one
of the uncommonest of transactions
for wife to make way with her hus-
bands money-excepting by extrav-
aoant ways. So uncommon Is 1T Tor
the wife to rob man of his property,
that when such an occurrence takes
place, it is worthy of note. The FOL
lowing, fromGreensburg, Pa, under
date Of July 29th, tells how wife
robbed her husband: A most remark
able case is that of a man well known
here, whose wife, having got all the
property in her hands, turned her
husband from her door, and Is now
seeking to put him in an insane asy-
lum. He lives about four miles from
this place. Some years ago he went
to Oregon with his family, but re-
turned to his old home. Again start
ing west he settled in Iowa. He
bought a farm and began to work IT.
His wife coaxed him to deed the prop
erty to her, and, the farm in her pos,
session, she turned her husband Out
and took up with another man. The
discarded husband was sent home
and his brother went to Iowa to get
back part of the farm, if possible
He was denied adnIittance to the
house by the woman and her para
mour, and when he returned 1t was
only to find that his slster-ln-law was
irving to collect evidence that hel
lawful husband was insane, which, I
proven, would leave her in undisputeo
possession of the property. The hus
bands friends Immediately hsd Inn
examined by competent physicians
who pronounced him perfectly sane
Attempts are still making to prove
that he is not in his right mind, but i
is very doubtful if they are success
! full. Meanwhile the man, who, whcl
farming here, was quite well of, L
penniless through the infdeiity o
his wife.

The French European project to
canal the isthnus of Darien is awaken
in an uncommon interest in this
country, and 50 far as an expression
has been heard, Americans are deter
minedly opposed to the allowing of
European governments getting con
trol of SO important rout of travel
and commerce on the American con-
tlnent.
A report had go. abroad in Europe
that the Hayes Administration does
not look disprovingly upon the efforts
of the Europeans to secure the route,
and such report of course has got
ten up good deal of talk In certain
circles in the old world
The following intelligence from
Washington, under date of August l,
is to the point, and is of general IL
terest- The dispatch says:
! NJ De Lesseps was certainly not
well informed of the intentions OF
this Government when he said at
Nantes on Tuesday night that the
American Government is not opposed
to his scheme for a canal 10y the pan
anna route. The Administration is
decidedly in favor of the Nicaragua
route and looks with decided disfavo1
on any plan which will give foreign
company control of the proposed
water route from the Gulf to the
| Pacific. In conversation the Other
day the President said that it was
not only the hope but tie expects
ton of this Government that Amer
can capital would build the canal ant
that the-American Government wouio
control it. He put no faith in NJ. ID,
Lessep's statement that there 10 ;

Lieutenant Bonaparte Wyses pro
iect. Admiral Ammen has entlrel,
convinced the administration that b,
is right; that the Panama route Il
not only unwise but impossible; tha
the movement In favor of 1t is mad
by interested parties, and that tin
Late Congress in Paris was controle'
by those who are pecuniarily inter
ested in the adoption of the Panam
plan. Nj. De Lesseps declared pre-
cisely what is the reverse of tn
truth when he said that this Go,
ernment was not opposed to what j
has reason to regard as a stock
iobbing operation. The Presiden
has not officially taken up the subJec
rs vet. 1t may be announced wit
authority then that, rs at present ad
vised, the Administration of the I'm
ted States will do all in its power t
prevent the contamination of u ID
Lesseps' plan, and that it will al
point a commission of officers of tn
navy or army to examine into th
whole subject. It is extremely prot
able that anything that Admiral An
men advises will be adopted in al
ranging this matter, and therefor
that. as he advises, engineers of othe
countries will be invited to conside
the whole subject. The decided opiI
ion of the Administration is the Cla.
ton-Bulwer treaty opposes no diff
culties to action on the par. of tn
Government looking to the preYel
ton of the building of the canal b
