Circumstantial Evidence.

About forty years ago q gentle
was tried and convicted upon
circumstantial evidence Of the
murder of his niece. She was
heard to exclaim. "Don't kill
mel" and that instant pistol or
fowling-piece wes flied of. Upon
these circumstances the gentle
man was convicted and executed
Near twelve months. after, the
neics who had eloped, arrived in
England, and hearing of the af-
fair, elucidated the whole trans
act on. It appeared that she
had formed an attachment for a
person of whom her uncle disap-
proved. When walking in the
the fields, he was earnestly dis
suading her from the connection,
when she replied that she wasire-
solved to have him, or it would
be her death, and therefore said,
"Don't kill me, uncle-don't kill
mel" At the moment she uttered
these words a fowling-piece was
discharged by q sportsman in .
field. The same
night she eleoped from her
house, and the combina-
ton Of the suspicious circum-
stances occasioned his ignomi-
nous death.

The Atlanta Constitution
thinks that there is a bright out
look for our cotton planters in
the almost complete failure Of
the cotton crop in China. China
is q long wsy off, but an acci-
dent like this always affects the
prices OF cotton in European
markets. The Chinese require
several million bales of cotton
for home use every year. If the
home crop fails they make upthe
deficiency from India, and the
Indian export to England falls
off, and American cotton, as Q
consequence, goes up in price.

their visit was a mystery even to-
the family with whom they We're

that they would not return till
early dawn, and for four nights
were absent. Their mission prob
ably would never have been dis.
covered had it not happened
that a cowboy happened in that
locality about 5 o'clock in the
morning. They made no exca-
vatious, as did a man by the
name of Wescott, about seven
teen years since, but were hunt
ing for a landmark and a pecu-
liar tree which the: story writer.
Lewis, had in one of his New
York newspaper novels describ-
ed as being located on this
beach.
The writer, of course, had no
idea that such landmarks really
we're in existence, but, under
standing the old traditions about
buried treasures on the Jersey
beaches, happened by mere
chance to weave the name of
Absecon Beach into the thread
of his story. This is not the first
instance that men have searched
on this island for gold. In DR..
Reeds History of Atlantic Ci-
ty" are several illusions to the
traditions about this hidden
body. In this history is the fol-
lowing paragraph. ''Nearly a
hundred years ago strangers Wis
tied the place to dig for the
buried treasures of the old free
booter, and marks of these or
more recent excavations are still
visible. Some came with the
conviction that it was enchanted
treasure, and they would fret the
sides Of knolls with their rude
spades at night in silence, be-
lieving that if they should strike
an iron-pot or canvass bag Of
gold and a sound escaped from
their lips it would go clinking
and clanking down into deep
chasms under the EARTH 4
