A Curious SNUFF BOX.

Shortly after the breaking out of the
French revolution, its advocates de-
nounced our Premier as IAN enemy to
the human race"-that man, $50 easy to
live with, who sung the song about him
self, called, BILLY Pitt, the Tory" His
secretary one day told him that for
eigner, who spoke English tolerably
we'll, had twice or thrice asked to see
him, but not looking like proper ap-
plicant, had been sent away, the great
mans time being too precious for him to
admit every stranger who, on frivolous
pretexts, might seek to crafty an idle
curiosity. This person, however, had
said he should return in. an hour; the
secretary, therefore, thought it his duty
and asked his further orders in the
affair.
"Have the goodness" said the minis
ter, "to open the top left-hand drawer in
that cabinet, and bring me its contents"
These were pair of pistols and a
morocco case; opening the latter he pro-
duced snuff box, in which was set q por-
trait.
''Is that like our visitor?" asked Pitt.
ut is the man, sir" answered the Sec
Rotary.
"Ha, have expected him for some
days; he is sent over to assassinate me;
so, when he calls again let him be shown
up"
"Sir" exclaimed the attached re-
tainer, twill you expose to danger your
life on which so much depends?"
"There will be no danger, thank
you; but you may be within call, if you
please"
Accordingly the Frenclman, on his
return, was ushered into the room
where William Pitt sat alone-a loaded
pistol IN one hand, the miniature IN the
other.
Monsieur Mehee de la Touche," said
Pitt, calmly, "you see I am in every way
prepared for you, thanks to an agent
employed by this government. Attempts
my life and your own instantly pays the
forfeit. In any case, shall have you
secured and given over to the law"
The intended assassin stood paralyzed
and dumb at this cool reception.
"But," continued Pitt, "tkere is
another acknowledgements safety and
high rewards are in your power. Sell
your services to Great Britain; make
your market Of Whatever secret informa-
ton you can procure that may guard us
against the Vaccinations of yoar coun-
try; be. in fact, one Of the necessary
evils which policy forces us to use in
desperate cases; do what no honorable
man could do to save yourself from
speedy death. Your conscience is
stained by proposed murder; CON ply,
perchance, with these conditions and you
shall be as literally paid as you must,
by all parties, be justly despised."
The clever miscreant joyfully accepted
these terms, and for many years earned
the brides Of a spy Chambers Journal.

And the Doom they Met in the

A partial rehearsal Of the Pirates

Court to day. The pirates were all

ing part was rendered by Lizzie Clark,
who wore a maintop-sail hat with
flying pennons of blue ribbon. Bold
Bill Smith was mate Of the pirate
craft, and Lou Jackson was bo'sen, as
could be seen from the cut Of her jib.
Bold Bill had his jib cut also. Lizzie's
little razor, which she wore in lieu Of
the bold pirate sword, performed the
operation for him.
The chorus, composed of six piping
maidens, was picturesque in the ex-
treme. They all wore big, rakish,
looking hats, with broad flying pen
mons. One Of them had a pair Of
Aatboats on her feet, decked with
bows Of blue ribbon.

New Orleans Times-Democrat, 3.
Between 8 and 9 o'clock last night.
in the little town of Algiers, Miss
Ruth Ford, bright and interesting
looking brunette of 10 years, shot and
fatally wounded Louis Burger. a
young man % years old, on the grounds
that he had cruelty wrouged and aban-
doned her.
The shooting took place on the
levee, between Homer and Newton
streets. The weapon used by Miss
Ford was Colts revolver, A calibre.
From the wound, which is 10 Burgers
back, just under the left shoulder. it
is evident that Miss Ford must have
walked up behind him and shot him
In the back when he was not even
aware of her presence.
About year ago, according to the
statement made by her to The police.
Burger took advantage of her weak
ness, but promised to marry her in a
few months. This promise was salts
factory, and things stood in statu quo.
About six months ago Burger in
formed his mother that he intended
to take Ruth Ford for his wife. His
mother became excited, as she OBJ
Jected to the match, and as she was
subject to heart disease, the discussion
bad such an effect upon her that she
dropped dead at her sons feet while
trying to persuade him to change his
mind.
From the moment of his mothers
death, Miss Ford says, no became a
stranger to her, and not satisfied with
abandoning her, he made remarks in
public about her. Saturday night she
received information through young
lady Of remark made about her by
Burger, and she determined upon re-
veDge.
Last night she was sitting upon her
fathers steps, when she saw Burger
sauntor by her with a young girl ON
each arm. The demon jealousy took
POSSESSION of her, and she determined
upon vengeance swift and sure.
Entering her fathers room, she took
his revolver and Immediately started
in pursuit Of Burger When she came
up to him she fred, with the result as
above stated.
The above story is based entirely
upon the uncerroborated statement of
Miss Ford. Burger, being in a diving
condition, GOULD not give his side
Miss Ford is the same young lady
who, about two years ago, clipped from
the city with the nephew of sea
captain. The nephew having appro-
priated some funds belonging to his
uncle, Detective FARRELL was sent in
pursuit OF the fugitive lovers and thew
were brought back to the city. The
pnOle not being willing to prosecute
his nephew, the case was abandoned.

THE TENNESSEE CAMPAIGN
What is Proposed by the POliti.
cal Managers in WASN'T ngtOn-
How Tennessee Will BE Re-
claimed.

The following is from the Chicago
News Washin gton correspondence:
Among the States to which the Re.
publicans intend to pay particular at
tention in the coming Congressional
campaign is Tennessee. Ever since
the debt question became an impor-
tant factor in the politics Of that
State an idea has prevailed among the
Republican leaders that by judicious
management it might be brought into
the fold of the faithful. The Demo
Gratis Of Tennessee are split into two
sections, one composed of the old
rock rooted Bourbon element, believ-
ing il out and out reputation, and
another made up of younger and more
progressive men. who think the State S
honor ought to be preserved, at least
to the extent OF paying sixty cents Of
its debt.
The situation is somewhat similar
to that in Virginia, and the Repub
licans think that by throwing their
influence in favor of the go per cent
section they could secure the return Of
several additional Congressman who
will vote with the Republicans. The
present situation is thought to be
something like this: Augustus Fl. Pet
tibone, representing the First Con.
gressional district in Tennessee, is a
Republican. He is candidate for re-
election, and will probably receive the
nomination. The district is Republican
by about fifteen hundred majority
l.. 9. Houk, OF the Second district, is
also a Republican. He will undoubt
eddy be returned, as his district, is a
strong Republican one. William r.
Moore, OF the Tenth district, is the
only other Republican member of the
Tennessee delegation. He represents.
the Memphis district, which is as
liable to return a Democrat as a Re
publican-Mr. Moore's majority being
less than one thousand. He
is candidate for renomi-
nation, and confident Of sue
cess. The Third Tennessee district
, now represented by George G. Dibbrell,
q Democrat, will be thoroughly can
vassed by the Republicans next fall.
They will place in the field General
John T. Wilder, of Chattanooga, to
run against Dihbrell, and they believe
they have at least a fighting chance Of
success. Equally vigorous efforts will
be put forth in other directions where
the Republican ticket stands the least
show. Strong Republican speakers
from the northern States will be sent
into Tennessee to teach the uurege.
rate Tennesseeans the errors of their
ways and convert them to Republican
faith.
The question Of paying or not pay.
ing the State debt will be the main
hook upon which the political mission.
aries will hang their choicestrhetorioal
garlands. Judge Taylor, Gar6eld's
successor in the House, is one of the
orators who has already been selected
to stump the State and light the Re-
publican beacon in places now buried
IN Democratic darkness. The Repub-
lican Congressional campaign commit
tee are considering the names Of other
speakers who will be sent on similar
errands into Tennessee, and everything
points to a determined attack upon
the Democratic strongholds OF that
State,
