mother of seven children. No one witnessed the murder. The murderer lost his wife two years ago, and her death is supposed to have unsettled his mind He attempted suicide six months ago. Mrs. Renaut had been very kind to him since his wifes death. This morning he entered her apartment and ex- citedly asked her to marry him. This she refused, whereupon he drew razor and com mitted the awful deed. The wound nearly severed the woman's head from her body. She ran into the hall and fell dead. Bigot then cut his own throat, inhicting severe wound, and also rushed into the street, where he was arrested. No evidence of the strug gle was found in the room, but the door was horribly spattered with blood. The tragedy created intense excitement in the vicinity. Bold Burglary-A Safe Blown Open and
 S25,OOO i'm Bonds Stolen.
 NEW YORK, Aug. IA very daring burg lary and robbery took place early this morn ing in the village of Chartierville, Bergen county, N. J., about thirty miles from here. T. Edgar Hunt, who keeps a store, went to his store at seven o'clock this morning and found that his safe in which he has been in the habit of keeping valuable papers and per sonal property, had been blown open, as was evident from the marks of powder. Upon examining the contents of the safe, MT. Hunt found that securities to the amount of about $25,o ,ooO had been taken. They are a num- Der of first mortgages of the St. Joseph and Pacific Railroad Company and the Kansas and Nebraska Railroad Company, and some stock and scrip of both these railroads. No trace could be found of the burglars The stock and scrip require endorsement to sell them, but everything else stolen is made out to bearer, and the robbers could probably sell the plumber this morning in New York for about $12, GOO or $13, ,OOO.

A Child's Influence.

Here is a touching little story of the
influence of little child in subduing
the surly and desperate disposition OF a
prison convict:
In prison at New Bedford, Mass,
there is now a man whom we will call
Jim, and who is a prisoner on life
sentence. Up to last spring he was re-
garded as desperate, dangerous man,
ready for rebellion at any hour. He
planned a general outbreak and was
''given away" by one of the cOnspira-
tors. He plotted general mutiny OF
rebellion, and was again betrayed. He
then kept his own council, and, while
never refusing to obey orders, he obey
ed them like a man who only needed
backing to make him refuse. One day
in June party of strangers came to
the institution. One was an old gentle
man, the others ladies, and two Of the
ladies had small children. The guide
and the other walked until the party
began climbing the stairs. Jim was
working near by, sulky and mOrose as
ever, when the guide said to him, ''Jim,
won't you help that little girl up
stairs ?" The convict hesitated, scOwl
on his face, and the little girl held heI
hands out to him and said: eff you
will l guess I'll kiss you" His scowl
vanished in an instant, and he lifted
the child as tenderly as father, Hall
way up the stairs she kissed him. Al
the head of the stairs she said: "NoN
you've got to kiss me-" He blushed
like woman, looked into her innocent
face, and then kissed her cheek ; anC
before he reached the foot of the stairs
again the man had tears in his eyes
Ever since that day he has been 6
changed man, and no one in the place
gives less trouble. May be in his far
away western home he has little Katie
of his own. No one knows, for he never
reveals his inner life !; but the change
SO quickly wrought by child proves
that he has heart, and gives hope
that he may forsake his evil ways.

Revenge is Sweet.

Several years ago Col. Jewett was
waiting for the train at that famous
resting place, Essex Junction. A stran-
ger was also waiting for the same train.
The time hanging heavily, the Colonel
found checker board and invited the
stranger to play. The stranger consent
ed, declaring, however, that he was not
much of player. The game soon end
ed, leaving the Col. ''skunked," as the
term goes, and somewhat surprised,
wlthal, for he is more than an ordinary
player. Other games followed, the
stranger continuing to "skunk," the
Col. not winning a single game. When
all was over the stranger made known
that he was Col. Gates of Cambridge,
the professional checker player. Col.
Jewett secretly vowed vengence, and
all these years that he has been build
ing railroads he never forgot the man
who scooped him so at Essex Junction.
Week before last Col. Jewett run across
Gates in st. Johnsbury, and knew that
his hour of revenge had come. Incl
IDENTIFY speaking of checkers, series of
games was arranged, Col. Jewett pro-
duclng a local player who went in and
''scooped' Gates as bad as Gates had
''scooped" Jewett years ago. 1t is said
that Gates departed for Cambridge that
night, feeling about as used mp as it is

A sportsman discounts the sea SER
pent stories by relating that he was
hunting near a lake in the woods of
Michigan when he saw what he believ-
ed to be monster snake, fifty or sixty
feet in length and ten or twelve inches
in diameter, with humps on its back
some two feet in length. At first its
course was almost directly toward his
place of concealment. When he was
about to run for his life the serpent"
then a few rods away, changed its
coulse, and resolved itself at once into
a colony of otter swimming in single
file. His inference is that sea animals
NAV sometimes travel in the same man
ner, and give sailors the opportunity
of drawing the long bow.

"This Seat is Taken.o

We learned to be familiar with the
expression during short trip to the
mountains last summer. For nearly
fifty miles, two ladies succeeded in
warding off travellers who sought the
shady side of the car, and the seat in
front of them was the convenient re-
ceptacle of their baggage, while their
attendant gentleman, if, indeed, he
was not a myth, must have had con-
yenient accommodations in the smOk-
ing car.
Presently, however, an uncouth
looking individual who had been stand
ing and silently making observations,
quickly removed the baggage and
turned the seat. The astonished la
dies paused in their conversation to
each ether, and raised their hands as
if in remOnstrance, but it was too late ;
the thing was quickly and quietly ac-
cOmplished, and the two foreigners
who were seated there seemed to un-
derstand no words or gestures, Pub
lie opinion, in that car at least, sided
with them. Pm glad of it" was the
expression in looks, where no words
were spoken.
Near by was seated another lady,
half of whose seat twas taken" by her
own bundles. She took the first OPP
portunity to invite a passing lady to
share it with her, evidently fearing
that she might be obliged to endure a
less desirable companion.
Arriving at one of the mountain
hotels, the only signal for meals SEEM
ed to be the opening of the dining
room door. The room not being large
enough for all, those who were not on
hand were obliged to wait. Next day,
the new corners were in first; but as
some of them were about to be seated
around table designed to accommo-
date seven, one young lady rushed up
exclaiming: "This seats taken, and
this, and this" She evidently wanted
the whole table for her party, but Que
gentleman was not so easily baff1ed
81 don't know who has taken it," he
quietly remarked, as he seated himself
10y his wite's side, ''the clerk gave it tC
me yesterday, and we sat here this
merning undisturbed." The young la.
dy was speechless, but her whitening
looks failed to discomfort the gentle
man, whose polite attentions to all a

of Thothmes Ill, the greatest of Egyp-
tian princes of the eighteenth dynasty,
who reigned about fifteen centuries be-
fore Christ. The menOlith, therefore,
was standing in the time of Moses, and
was perhaps seen by him. The hIere-
glyphics of the south and east faces are
considerably injured either by the &C
ton of the sun or by the fine particles
of sand driven against them by the
wind. The western column of hero
glyphics is remarkably well preserved,
but all are damaged at the bottom by
the piling of stones against the Obellsk.
There is also notch in the southwest
corner that may have been made by a
cannon ball, but the column is in much
better condition than the one that
stands on the Thames embankment.

A singular affair recently happened
in China. A young widow publicly
announced that she would hang herself
rather than yield to the wishes of her
parents and marry again, and the sac
rifice was actually contaminated in
broad daylight. A crowd of the wo-
mans friends and admirers assembled,
and the tragic ceremony was preceded
by reception of visitors on platform
erected for the OCCASION. After receiv-
ing the mingled applause and condo
lence of her friends the poor young
creature mounted a chair, placed the
rope around her neck and swung her.

for more than thousand years, was
