into a bewildering tracery OF exquis-
lite lace, under whose tiny interiacing
the startled beating of an innocent
emotion futtMed like. a dying dove in
the meshes of a net. And so the rev.
elation came with the irresistible
food of these two hearts beating
against the obstacle. Above arm and
shoulder peeped an arched head with
closed eyes and braided black hair,
the face oyerlaid with modest red.
Then snowy neck and throat like the
drift Of SNOW. to which another dain-
ty hand clutched mass of lace in
trembling confusion.
But when Venus went to the bath
and Godiva rode forth in the mist of
her hair, Olympus and all the world
closed their eyes. And it is best to
close all eyes upon this scene OF inno-
cence and artless sorrow. There was
a quick rushing together of the lips,
a moment of fluttering III a pair OF
manly arms, and then, bounding down
the stairs like deer, the young man
darted into his carriage and was soon
speeding behind a locomotive score
of miles away from any misinterpre-
tation of his ardor.
And this was an actual occurrence
in Louisville several days ago.

We translate the following from
the Meschacebe of St. John the Bap-
tist:
One night last week, three colored
men, moved by a beastly instinct, ap-
preached the residence of Mr.. Dona-
ten Chauvin, to perpetrate their he'll
lish design. The leader, Peter Mitch
ell, entered the house while hi &C
completes, Dick Gordon and Ander-
son Alice, were in waiting outside, to
help him, if necessary. Mitchell had
penetrated the sleeping apartment of
Miss Marie Chauvin, who awoke at
the touch Of hand upon her body,
and was about to sink back to sleep,
when an unusual odor and loud
breathing from under her couch, at
tracted her attention. At the same
time she felt hand seize her leg. She
arose quickly and called for help
but she was seized and held by Mitch
ell, until her father came to her assis-
lance, when Mitchell fed, however,
not until he had been recognized. On
the day following Mitchell and his &C
completes were arrested and lodged
injail. The Grand Jury being in ses-
sion, Immediately took cognizance of
the crime and they are soon to be
tried by jury, specially drawn, by
order of Judge Hahn. The evidence
is ample to establish their guilt and
to condemn them to the death penal
ty, which is their due.

ASSASSINATION.
The Son Of Mrs. Myra Clarke Gaines
Murdered by His BrOther.in.law.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-William
G.. Whitney, only, son of Mrs. Myra
Clarke Gaines, the New Orleans
claimant, was killed at his residence
here this evening, about 5 o'clock.
The killing was instantaneous, a pis-
tOl the instrument. The circumstan-
ces, briefly told, are in substance as
follows: James Y. Christmas, the
murderer, married Miss Whitney, now
deceased, who was a sister of the
murdered man, and only daughter of
Mrs. Gaines. Christmas and Whitney
had been partners as hair manu-
facturers id this city, but they had
quarreled and dissolved partnership.
The quarreling continued about bus
mess affairs, and Whitney published
in a local paper this morning a notice
cautioning the public not to pay to
Christmas any money due to the for
mer firm of VIM. G. Whitney & CO.
That published card caused hot
words this morning, and it is alleged
that threats were made on both sides.
Whitney and Christmas met this
evening when Christmas shot Whit
ney, the bullet entering near the heart,
killing him instantly.

the fair Amazon. "And. what's more,
