HOished Himself.

One OF the most brilian. ieats Of French
reporting is the following. 1t happened at
the time when the great Tropmann murder
case was agilating Paris and France. and
wheu every body was eager for details,
A reporter who bad the matter in hand
left Paris for Csrnsy, where the father of the
rropmann resided. He arrived, called upon
the justice of the peace and the commissslre
of poles, invited them to follow him to the
Marie, took his seat in the judges chair,
and, there, with unparalleled audacty, Or
hered the gsrde champetre to go and bring
before him the assassin's father. The
officers did not say a word; the re-
porter had conquered them by his air and
dsmesnor. When the father Of Troppmann
WAS brought before hun, tho reporter inter
rogated him as though officially commits
stoned 10 do 80. The result Of the cross
questioning was that the son had writton to
a's father on the eve and on the day of the
crime. Monsieur le Commisssire," says
the reporter, "please to go to the witness
house and seize these letters" The func-
tionsry obeyed; the letters were brought,
the reporter read them, found them full of
rropmatn's guilt, copied them carefully and
with solemn air. Then, with respect he

vaccination seems to stop its progress. Up
to the middle of this month there had been
655 cases, of which 2Sl, or. So per ce1t, had
resulted fatally. The San Francisco papers,
which publish frequent reports Of The pro.

virulence to the practice Of conceslment on
tho part Of the natives ind Chinese, who
will not report case to the authorities until
the patient is about 10 Gle on their hands,
and subsequently, make it appear that the
physicians of the board of health are re-
spon'i1le for his death. The public schools
and Gil places Of amusement are closed. but
the churches are kept open, in spite of the

Mr.. Peter Costing called in to say
goodbye last week, having finished
very successful seasons work as sugar
maker at Peytavin plantation. He is
now in New Orleans, but will probably
obtain employment for the ensuing year
gu one of the plantations of the Burnside
estate, in which case he will return to
the parish. We hope this expectation
will be. realized and that Mr.. Costing
will remain an Ascensionite. Besides
being an excellent ugar-maker, an ex-
printer ana quiet, sober and indus
trious young man, he is the crack pitcher
Of the New Hope Base Ball Club. aud we
should regret to see that organization
deprived of his valuable services next
season.
