A Monster.

On the 18th of February, at 3 o'clock
in the evening, the officers in charge OF
the police station in the Rue de Tanger,
Paris, was startled by the appearance OF a
young man who made this statement at
the desk "My name is Felix Lemaitre-
was born IN Paris on May 2, 1866 L
am an apprentice. l surrender myself to
Justice for the murder Of a little boy,
whom I have killed at the Hotel de
Doubs." Improbable as this seemed, NJ
de Teule, the commissary, gave orders Tor
the detention of Lamaitre, and went IN
person to see if there was any truth IN
what he said. In room No. AZ of the
Hotel de Doubs he found that an abomi-
nable murder had been committed On
bed lay the naked body OF child,
gagged and bound. The throat was cut,
the body ripped open. The coverlet OF
yellow wool was ciotted with blood. On
the bolster were marks Of the assassin $
fingers, which had been carefully wiped.
On the ground was knife. The commis-
sary searched the child's clothes and
found in them school copy book marked
II the corner with name, "Jean Schoe-
men, No. II Rue Caille." NJ de Teule
ordered the boys body to be taken to the
morgue. His parents learned OF the muir
der through the shouts Of an excited mob.
They were poor rag pickers and Jean was
their only child. At the police station
Lamaitre, who in appearance Is sallow,
thin and somewhat tall for his age, made
a full confession of his crime. ''On the
18th Of this month, he said, 81 stole
20Of. from my employer, NJ. Siraut, OF
the Rue d'Aboukir. spent the money
at the theatre and in pleasure excursions.
Yesterday, finding myself penniless, l
saw everything in red G'oi ru tout en
rouge and suddenly the thought OF kill
ing a child came to me- Change brought
in my way the poor little boy whom l
killed Finding him in the street, l
showed him steel chain and promised
that he should have ii if he would follow
me- When he was IN my room tied his
hands behind his back, as though in sport.
Then undressed him and twice plunged
my knife into his body. To stop his
cries | cut his tongue and then his throat.
| cannot explain what lead me to commit
the deed. l had read many novels, and
in one Of them remembered such scene
as put into execution" The statement
was made with perfect coolness. When
the crowd commenced to clamor outside
the prison, Lamaitre seemed to be elated.
after all, said he, ''tbe guillotine has
been abolished, and even if it were net, |
am too Young for the scatfold."

A GREAT deal Of fruit is being shipped
east Of Sacramento The amount is much
larger than at this time last year. Among
the shipments has been car load Of as
sorted fruit, put up III the Dietz packing
areeently patented process. The Suisin
Republican says that the preservatiye
agent Is carbonized wheat bran, and tha.
by II fresh fruit is preserved frosn decay,
so that it can be shipped east by slow
freight and sold of as the demand Is made
for it without being compelled to sacrifice
it for fear of loss. The car load shipped
goes TO Philadelphia 1t contains grapes,
pluIns, peaches, apricots, etc, and goes
as fast freight, though hereafter it is the
plan to ship by SLOW freight, as it vii re-
duce the charges one half, OF from sll00
To $500 a car load to New York. If fruit
can be packer In this inexpensive panne-,
and preserved indefinitely and shipped
anywhere, the business will develop.

WILL the present railroad network al
ready built and in course of construction
hurt Walla Walla2 Similar questions to
this have been asked thousands OF tunes
within the past year. Some have attempt
ed to answer by saying that new towns
would spring up which would naturally
draw the trade from this city. Such an
swsrs as. this is short t-sightedness. Are
not the best inland cities in the country
surrounded by many thriving towns
Are there any isolated cities in the Uni
ted States We contend that the build

merchants are already feeling the effects

small decrease of trade on one hand there
is great gain of jobbiug business.

He says the mines are on the head

looked over the works of the Cana.
dian Pacific railroad now under contract
and beng built by Mr.. Onderdank. About
year ago a contract amounting to So
900, 900 was let to build road from
Emory to Lavona ferry, l27 miles. This
includes all the heavy work in the noun
tains along Frazer river The work is
being pushed through with great energy,
and viii probably be the heaviest work on
the Pacific coast In the first 40 miles

Yale the line viii reach the first level

farms beng opened, and already there are
Touring mills in operation which supply
the Company with -four, and plenty of
beef and mutton. Further on they strike
run down the valley Of that river through
n solid body Of wheat land 100 miles in
length to the Red River of the North.
After all with our three railroads run
ming across the continent, l do believe
that our neighbors on the north will have
the shortest and best line of all.
Returning TO Yale in the cool, quiet
evening, We went to the beautiful little
cemetry which lies so sweetly and sac
redly on the side Of the hill, surrounded
by trees and shrubs and two beautiful
pebbly brooks, and looking out on the
wild rushing Frazer, and the Canadian
Pacific road curving majestically around
and directly Ill front We found the
green grave Of our dear child-a perfect
map of flowers and ferns placed there by
the hands of loving friends.
Nothing could be purer and holier than
the abiding faith of mother and sister
who, while kneeiine at the foot of the
grave OF that loved one, could command
courage to say: ''Holy Father, in thy
inscrutable providence we believe that
thou doost all things for the best We
here leave the spiri, of our dear Emma to
rest in peace with thee. PR

GRAYcEyuLE, Idaho, July -, 1851.
EDITOR STATESMAN - Since the 4th of
July the prairie has relapsed INTO its usual
quietness and our attention is now given to
the coming harvest, which bids fair to
eclipse both IN quantity and quality any
thing ever before gathered here. The cele.
bration went off gloriously. and A. +. Par
ker, of the Nez Peree Ne,es, gave us
stirring. rousiDg Grafton that reverbera-
ted into our surrounding mountains and
woke their echoes as never before. Our lib
erty car was grand feature with Miss Susie
Markham as Goddess Of Liberty, with some
thing less than one hundred and nine little
satellites revolving around her, each repre-
sentins two or three States OF our glorious
Union. After the day came night, and the
ball was particular feature. II everybody
is to be believed, Mr.. Editor, you yourself
used to do your share in kicking the turpen-
tine out OF the boards, and you thought
nothing Of riding ten or twelve miles to at
tend one aud pay homage to our prairie
beauties. twenty-five miles would he
nearer the mark I'd But since that
time, dear Mr.. Editor. feeling Of mournful
sadness has come over this community,
caused BY the ever dreaded monster who is
always in our midst, and this time has
snatohed away as his victim one of our be-
loved young men-Charles II. Robinson, Of
Grangeville, who was stricken with typhoid
fever some five weeks ago, and after Il days
of suffering WAS summoned to his final home.
He Will b. sally missed in the church,
the Sabbath school, the Red Cross Lodge
the Grange and the social circle. He
was followed to the grave by large con-
course of sorrowing friends and was honored
with Grange honOrs.

HUBBARD, of Texas, is the only Coy
ernor who dechned to appoint day Of
thanksgiving for the Presidents recovery,
In his letter of refusal he frankly stated
that his action was not based upon any
lack of sympathy for Gen Garfield, but
solely upon his conscientious belief that
it was not part of his duty to summon
the people to their churches, or to fix a
day for public worship. Ee thinks
that the line which SEPARATES church and
state in this country should be strictly
maintained. Gov. Hubbard is being
severely criticised both in the north and
south for his course, but in the opinion
Of the STATESMAN the attacks upon him
are unmerited. He is evidently acting
from conscientious motives, and should
receive credit for his honesty and inde-
pendence, even from those who do nCt
share his views.

The New EPIDENIC.-The New York
Times SAYS the events of the last fortnight
have shown that gunshot wounds are at least
as contagious as crimes. When Mr.. Garfield
was shot, it was believed that few persons
had ever recovered from similar wounds, but
now that he is. as the whole nation devoatly
hopes, in a fair way to recover, the news
papers teen with accounts of men who have
had their iivers shot away Ii seems as II
the human liver were the fayOrIte billet oi
every stray ball, and that the one thing
which can insure TO man long and excep-
tionaliy good health is to be shot in the liver
The confederate, during the civil war seem
to have hahitutlly aimed at union lIvers,
and to have hit them at least twice out Of
thret times Ii may seem strange to any
one except Concord philosopher that a
gunshot wound occurring to day could pro
cule tod. v scores oi similar wounds ten OF
Fifteen years ago. but who can Limit the pos
sibility of the vague and the unthinkable'
The thousands OF men whose hvers have
been shot away in the civil war, during the
last fortnight. are clearly the victims OF con
tagioD, and if the contagion speads, as II
promises to do, there will not be sound
liver in America a month hence.

The Pre.ident's recovery has thWarted
not only the assassin Guiteau, but also
lar-e number Of elegiac poets who, had
the President died, would have afflicted
the country with reams upon reams oi
reauiems. One OF tfese poets, baked oI
her main purpose, has given taste OF hei
quality in the following lines:
The D. .ettie-t Of all the presents by the pe0pl'
To the man the nation MOUTHS
Is The Alderney COW in the white house yard
With the silvery tips on her borns-
Fancy how grandly such poet would
have depicted the grief of the nation a.

Ir may not, perhaps, be known that a
man wearing dark clothes is more liable
to infection from contagion than he who
wears light -colored garments, because par
ticles which enanate from diseased OF
decaying bodies are much more readily
absorbed by dark than BY light fabrics:
This is easy of proof. Expose light and
dark coat to the fumes of tobacco for FIVE
minutes, and it will be found that the
dark one smells stronger than the other
of tobacco smoke, and it will retain the
odor longer.

BY the dust on the public roads, travelling
is made not only disagreeable and unpleasant

THE DRoUeHT.- The drought is being pro-
longed and with the intense heat of tho SUMS
rays, striking the earth's surface without the
modifying influence Of vapor and moisture,
its effect upon vegetation is fairly to scorch
and dry up all the moisture not only of the
roots but of the soil.
Trees and shrubbery are looking as though
their leaves were stricken by frost. Seldom.
If ever before, has the thermometer recorded
100 degrees in September, but the last month
it reached 108 degrees and above nor can it
be remembered that ever before the month of
September passed without copious and soak
ing rains. AK
The farmers cannot venture to SOW their
winter grain, although the ground may be
prepared, in a soil so void of moisture and SO
utterly unfit to sprout the seed, and the ordi-
nary time for frost to set in is so near at
hand, that under the most favorable circum-
stances the seed cannot sprout and root suf-
ficiently to be protected through the winter.

shop. Old Mr. Holcombe sustained fracture
of the left arm by the mishap, but the young
man escaped injury.
