An Ingenious Swindle.

A pair of swindlers played off in Paris
the following ingenious trick: A we'll
dressed man entered tobaccoist's shop
on the Boulevard Bonno Nouyelle, and
after purchasing three cigars gave q FIVE
franc gold piece in payment; but after
receiving his change he declared that it
was a twenty-franc piece which he had
given, and on the woman who had
served him asserting the contrary, he
added that it was piece of
the reign of Louis Philippe,
bearing the date of 1S46; the
shopkeeper then looked among the gold
in her till, and finding gold coin such
as described supposed she had been
mistaken, and at once gave him the diff
ference. A police agent in plain clothes
happened however to be standing by,
and having his suspicious excited. de-
termined to follow the stranger. He
presently saw the individual Join another
man in the street, and the two went to-
gether to the Place de Ia Bourse, where
they separated, and the second entered
a tobacconists, and after making small
purchase gave in payment the identical
twenty-franc piece received at the other
shop. The confederate shortly after
went in, and was repeating the same
stratagem as before, when the police Of
ficer stepped forward and arrested him.

President A.thur's Romance.

When young lawyer, unknown to
fame, Chester Arthur happened to at
tend service at the old Church of St.
Johns, in this city. There he heard
for the first time the rich soprano
voice of Ella Herndon as the notes of
the "Venite" rang through the shabby
old church. She was the daughter of
naval officer, who won distinction by
his services i'll the Mexican war, and
commanded an exploring expedition
up the Amazon. But his browning
deed Of yalor was upon the ill-starred
steamer, Central America, that found
cred near HAVANA with several hun
dred passengers and more than a mill
ion in gold. By his heroic efforts,
about half the passengers were saved,
and, faithful to his trust, the gallant
captain went down with his ship,
which he refused to desert. The echo
of the sweet voice still fingered with
Mr.. Arthur, and soon after her great
sorrow, he sought the acquaintance of
the fatherless girl, and she became his
wife. Now, every Sunday, on foot
and unattended, President Arthur
finds his way to the dingy little church,
and sits in the pew where the beauti-
full Lady Madison worshipped so long
ago. Perhaps amid the "Venite" of
to-day he hears ''the sound of a voice
that is stilr'-the voice of one whose
portrait hangs in his chamber. Amid
the pressure of state duties, it is said,
the President never forgets the daily
tribute of flowers to the memory of
this lady, who, had she lived, would
have graced the White House.-Bo8-
ton advertiser.

Justice for the Dead.

Do those who are trying to defile the
grave of President Garfield fancy that
they will help themselves in public es-
timation by that course? He cannot
answer. His lips have been silenced
forever by an assassin, whose black
deed was not baser, but far less COW
Rrdly, than the conduct of those who
sCTfve TO dishonor the memory of the
martyr. Yet although he can make
no reply to the ISLANDERS which cow
ards did not dare to utter while he
lived, he will not be defenceless. The
hearts of the people will speak for
him. Before he died the world had
come to know him, and to love him
infinitely better than any of his foes.
1t has been the disposition of true
Republicans to drop out of sight, as
far as they could, the controversy be-
tween different elements of the party.
They have tried to give to Stalwart
haters of the dead President all pos
siblc charity and patience. But for
bearance has its limits. 1t will not
do to insult the memory of the dead,
day after day, and yet to expect mer-
cy and patience for the living who
seek to rise by dishonoring him. If
there is to be this fiendish malignity
shown toward the late President, and
toward those who were his friends,
those who were his foes must expect
to hear very plain talk about them
selves and their conduct.
The President, 1t has been said,
wishes to unite and harmonic the
Republican party. If so, he will muz-
zle without delay the ours who call
themselves his friends, and who are
doing what little they can to blacken
the memory of his predecessor.
The military record of Gen. Gar
field was closed with high honor long
ago. In brief service, he gained a
more enviable reputation than many
others who held higher rank. When
he left the army it was at the public
call to serve in a different station.
Many years of sharp political cam
paigning followed, in which he was
more than once pursued with intense
bitterness. All that it was possible
to say with success, to the disparage-
ment Of his military record, while he
and others who knew the facts were
living, was said long ago, and said in
vain. President Lincoln, Secretary
Chase, and other members Of the Cab
met, knew perfectly what the course
of General Garfield had been, and the
stories that are now told were never
thought worth uttering while they
were alive, or even while General Gar
field was here to confront them. 1t is
many years too late to assail his char
acter as soldier, now that his tongue
is silent. Touching the latter part of
his political career, differences of opin-
ion are not unnatural. Events were
then regarded with very different eyes,
by men whose strong feeling influenced
their judgments. In time calm his
tory will make up it's verdict as to
that part of the late Presidents ca
reer, and it will not be one to pain his
friends. But it will prove a sheer
waste of time, nineteen years after
the military record of General Gar
field was closed, to manufacture SLAM
ders respecting that part of his life.
Nor will it prove helpful to anybody
to circulate ISLANDERS of any kind res
pecting one whom the people have
not yet ceased to love.-Tfibune.

The Waterbury Horror.
SOME ADDITIONAL DETAILS.


The telegraph has already given the
leading facts connected with Sundays
dreadful tragedy at Waterbury. Some
interesting circumstances connected
with it are as follows: McCaffrey lived
about two miles from the place where
the body of the Mceker child was
found, and nire miles from Water
bury street. Tuesday afternoon he
drove to the residence of Daniel Hop
kins, at Waterbury Center, with six
of his seven children-fve girls and
one boy, the youngest being twin
girls less than year old, and the
oldest a boy of fourteen years. When
he arrived at Mr.. Hopkins the foot
of one of the twin babies was frozen
stiff. He told Mr.. Hopkins that there
had been an accident at his house, and
that he concluded to take the children
to him to care for them, at the same
time handing over q butcher knife,
saying that was all he had had to pro-
tect himself with. The boy got away
from his father as soon as possible, and
told Charles Hopkins that his mother
and grandmother were dead, his father
having killed them. Constable Oscar
May was thereupon called, and Nc
Caffrey was put into his charge, while
Charles Hopkins and another young
man were sent to McCafrey's home,
to investigate. They drove there,
and found the house securely fastened,
the doors and windows being nailed
up. They effected an entrance, and
found the dead bodies of Bridget
Ann, his wife, and Ann McCalTrcy,
his mother, in the cellar with no marks
Of violence that could be discovered
without disturbing them. The young
men did not stir them, but droye back
to the Center as quickly as possible,
and told what they had found. Then
Mccartney was taken to Waterbury
street, and put in charge Of Deputy
Sheriff Frank n Anterior, who took
him to Montpelier, Tuesday evening.

constitutio naIitx of the Tax Lew

A Montpe lier constable has sold at
public auction lot of personal prop
erty belonging to Mr.. J. r. Langdon
to satisfy the highway tax of 1915,
assessed against him on the grand list
of 1881. Last year Mr.. Langdon re-
fused to comply with the law and the
listers therefore doubled his list, his
assessed valuation after the doubling
process being as follows: Real estate,
S128, 900; personal estate, $350,500,
making a total estate of S487, 800
The aggregate tax levied on Mr.. Lang
don's grand list in 1881 was some
$4,000, for all local and State purpos-
es. Mr.. Langdon bases his refusal
to pay the tax assessed on the ground
that the double process is unconstitu-
tional. The levy made on his person
al property was the first one made by
the authorities to satisfy the tax as
sessed on his grand list. The proper
ty levied on comprised five horses,
five cows, three wagons, one sleigh,
one harness, four buffalo robes and
one lot of hay. The property was
all bid in by the employees of Mr..
Langjon for about $1075 cash. The
question will, of course, be brought
before the courts, and the constitu-
tionality of the doubling clause Of the
listing law be fully tested. Free

fusion that lie was killing this animal.
When the deed was done, he fastened
I'D the house and compelled his four
teen-vear-old son to help carry the
bodies into the cellar, where they were
found. He kept the children in the
house during Sunday, Monday and
until Tuesday noon, when he took
them to the Center, rs above stated.
Mccartney is 45 years old and was
a soldier in the late civil war, going
from Waterbury. He married Bridget
Ann McCue, November 10, 1866, and
they moved Immediately to the place
where they have lived ever since.
There are seven children, five girls
and two boys, the second boy being alb
sent, with an uncle, in Greensboro at
the time of the murder. Some two
years ago Mccartney began to show
some signs Of insanity, and he was
sent to the asylum at Brattleboro,
where he remained three months, at
the end of which time he was dis
charged as cured. Since that time he
has occasionally showed symptoms Of
the old malady, and very recent OBJ
servers of his movements and wild
appearance had predicted trouble if
he was not taken care Of.
The murder was committed in the
presence of four children, two of
whom, boy and a girl of II and II
wears, who were sleeping up stairs,
heard their mothers cries and came
down and begged the father to stop.
The wife and aged mother were killed
in succession, the old lady being to-
tally blind and not daring to stir. The
father threatened to kill the children
if they went for help.
WATERBURY,, Mar. 16.-In connec-
ton with the tragedy here, it is stated
that Mccartney came to the Center,
Saturday, and asked Mr.. Smith, the
town clerk, to write letter for him
to All acquaintance at the Brattleboro
Asylum. He had club in his hand
and said: ''There is to be q slaughter
on the hill to save the innocents."
Mr.. Smith remarked to JacIlman that
he feared McCaffrey had symptoms Of
insanity. Mr.. Jackman said he had
just been talking with him and that he
seemed perfectly sane. McCaffrey
said McCue, his wife's brother, had
taken one of the horses and the boy,
Charley, and gone. He did not know
but he had run away. McCue had
been there TO watch McCatfrey and
thought it would be safe to 90 to
Greensboro for a few days, so he went
on Friday. The women were killed
Saturday night.

The Poultry World says: Eggs
for Matching should be chosen of the
fair average size usually LAID by the
hen they are from, any unusually large
or small being rejected. Some hens
lay extremely large eggs and others
small ones. a fat hen will always
lay small eggs, which can only pro-
duce small and weakly chickens. Alb
solute size in eggs is, therefore, o: but
little Importance. Round, short eggs
are usually the best to select; very
long eggs, especially if much pointed
at the small end, almost always breed
birds with some awkardness in style
or carriage. Neither should rough
shelled eggs be chosen; they usually
show some arrangement Of the Or
gans, and are often sterile.
