Charles Alexandra LachAud.
In the death of Charles Alexandra La.
chaud, who died last Thursday, France loses
her most eminent lawyer. He was born at
Treignac, in the department of Correze, on
February Is, 1913. After the usual prelimi-
naries be was admitted to the bar of Tulle,
but remained comparatively unknown until
his laD0rb IN tue CelSDrateQ LdIdIS6 pOlsOu-
ing csse established his reputation. Nine.
Lsfarge had heard him srgue a case
long before suspecting that she would
require his services, and when she was
put on trial she remembered the young
lawyer snd summoned him in her de-
fense. In 1874 NJ. Lschaud took up his
abode in Paris and married a daughter of
AnceIot, the well-k known writer and member
of the academy. Soon sfterward Ancelot
lost his whole fortune in theatrical manage
ment His son-in-law generously came TO
his aid and paid Ancelol's creditors. Some
years Of hard work followed. At length M.
Lacbaud's talent as an orator and jurist re-
ceiyed recognition, and he was declared one
of The foremost criminal lawyers in France.
Among innumerable cattsd cclcbres in which
be figured, chiefly in the Court dAssizes
we're the Pavy and TroppmanR trials;
be was also concerned in the Ba-
game trial, and in the case of Paul
de Csssagnsc sgsinst Gen. de Wimphen.
Until 1869 the renowned lawyer kept alooi
from political life. In May of that year,
however, when the general elections to the
legislature were held, he was a candi-
date in the Eighth "Circonscription" of the
Seine, and ran against NJ. Jules Simon. NJ
Simon defeated him by an overwhelming
majority; having run for Office in Tulle in

A French naval doctor, NJ. Crevaux,
has lately made important explorations
in the northern part of South America,
more especially in the valley of the ORR
noco and its ~afluents. Among other
facts Of observation he states hat the
Guaraunos. at the delta of that river,
take refuge in the trees when the delta
is inundated. There they make a sort
'of dwelling with branches and clay. The
women light, on a small piece Of floor,
the fire needed for cooking, and the
traveller on the river by night often sees
with surprise long rows Of flames at a
considerable height in the air. The Qua
raunos dispose of their dead by hanging
them in hammocks in the tops OF trees.
DR.. CrevauN, in the course of his travels,
met with geophagous, or earth-eating
tribes. The clay, which often serves for
their food for whole months, seems to
be n mixture of oxide of iron and some
organic substances. They have recourse
to it more especially in times Of scarcity;
but, strange to say, there are eager
gourmands for the substance, individu-
ais in whom the depraved taste becomes

The Ooyote.


That n popular fallacy regarding the
ferocity of the coyote exists was Illus
trated not long since in the remarks
made by q Northern preacher in a SER
mon he preached shortly after his ar
rival in the State. Dear friends, me-
thinks / see two men walking out on one
Of your beautiful prai-ies. They enjoy
The perfume of the flowers, the songs Of
the innocent little birds, and the calm,
quiet beauty of your GLORIOUS Indian
summer evenings. Communing togeth-
or, they walk along needless of danger.
The sun sinks 70 rest beyond the
distant horizon; the curtain of night
gradually descends and closes out the
light of day; still the I'VE men walk leis-
urely along, feeling safe and secure.
BIT harh What sound is that in the
distance. What blood-cIrdliDg howl
makes them arrest their steps? 1t is.
dear fr4snds-it is the cry OF the wolves
ON their rack-the fierce and bloodthirsty
coyote in hot pursuit, ali! And what,
think you, do these two unfortunate
men Goe One of them, my beloved
congregation, realizes his danger, and
running to a tree, climbs up, by the aid
OF Il convenient branch, out OF the reach
of the cruel fangs of the relentless beasts
u prey. ne calleu unto MS companion,
and said unto him: 20, my brother,
reach out and take hold of this branch.
climb up here beside me, and be saved!
But the other said: "No, there is no
danger; the wolves are still a long way
off, have time enough" Alasi dear
hearers, while he was yet speaking the
dreadful coyotes came upon him, and
rending him limb from limb, devoured
him. ever in the twinhing of an eye.
Thus it is, o careless and Needless sin
ners, that you tonight stand" etc.
When the preacher concluded the ser
vices and was leaving the church he was
accosted by old man Parker (who has
lived in Texas since 1886, who said.
"Parson. the front end of your dis
course was grand and gloomy, and cal
culated to bluff the uncovered sinner.
You had a full hand, and might have
raked in all the mourners in the pot;
but, Lord bless your soul, you played a
nine-spot when you Clipped in with that
coyote yarn.-GalUeston Nens.
