KILLING HIS WIFE By MIsrAKE.-
A white woman went into John Demp's
house, In Checkertown. Charlotte coun-
ty, Va, and asked to stay a day or two.
She seemed to have plenty of money.
Demp had only one good chamber in
the house and told her she could occupy
that. He accordingly put her in there,
giving her a bed by the side of his
wife's bed. Demp, seeing that she
had money, determined to murder her.
and he crept into the room, armed with
an axe. 1t seems that his wife and the
other woman had changed beds during
the night. Demp went to the bed
which he supposed the guest occupied.
He could only distinguished the out
lines of the figure, and he dealt it two
murderous blows with the axe. The
noise woke the sleeper in the other bed,
and the man discovered by her screams
that ne had murdered his own wife.
He fed from the ROOM, and fortunately
for her safety. the other woman quilted
the house. Demp returned late. car
ried the body of his wife into a clump
Of woods near by, and buried it by the
light ofa torch. He then went back,
md was engaged in burning the bed
sheets when he was arrested.

THE HISTORY OF A PAINTING.

There has recently been sold in London
drawing possessing some interest because Of
the name with which it is signed, and the
history that attaches to it. The name Is
that of Louis Philippe, and the history is
as follows: In 1645 Louis Philippe com
missioned Conder to paint picture of vast
size, representing the Federation of 1870,
to be hung at Versailles. Conder at once
set to work, but did not think of submitting
a preliminary sketch to the King. When
the picture was far advanced the King went
to see it, and, to the artists dismay,
coolly remarked: "Your picture is very
striking, NJ. Conder, but it is not the Fed
Grafton of 1870. I was there, saw the whole
scene, and it was not at all like this.
must tell you frankly that You must begin
your whole work over again" The artist
was in despair, for the picture was nearly
finished; but the King would not give way.
He demanded another picture, and, inviting
the artist to breakfast showed him sketch
he had made from memory of the event. 1t
is this sketch that has now been sold. II
must be added that the price fixed for the
painting had been 25, 600 francs, and this
Louis Philippe paid for the rejected work,
agreeing to pay the same for another pic
ture painted according to his own design.
''It is dear bargain, he remarked, "bui
I owe it to history"
