A Strange Disease.

A most remarkable case came under
the notice of Coroner LeMonnier on
Saturday last, at Tunisberg, about three
miles below the canal street ferry land
ing in Algiers. He was about to cross
the ferry when DR.. Magruder. of Al
giers, came aboard the ferry-boat. and
informed him that he had been summon
ed to attend mulatto man named David
Ernest, at Trepagnier plantation. but
that before he arrived the patient had
expired, and consequently the services
of DR.. LeMonnier were needed.
The coroner at once proceeded to
Trepagnier's place, and there found
the body of Ernest as reported. He
Immediately proceeded to hold post
norton examination, when he ascer-
tanned that the negro had died of ma
ignant pustules of Charlton. This di-
sease, which affects cattle in the cpl
demic form, is usually conveyed by the
bite of an insect, and is very deadly in
its effects.
From investigation and questions
propounded by DIR. LeMonnier it was
ascertained that Ernest was at work in
the field at MIR. Trepagnier's plantation
on Wednesday last, when he was stung
on the chin or lip by an insect which
he at the time supposed to be wasp or
fly. The pain was Immediately follow
ed by swelling of the face in the re-
gion of the sting, and three hours
afterward fever set in and continued
with undated violence until the patient
died. The swelling extended itself
downward as far as the shoulders and
up the RICH side of the face to the eye,
and on Saturday morning Earnest died.
DR.. LeMonnier found the body in q
normal condition but for the swelling
in the lower pant of the face, chin and
upper portion of the neck. The SWELL
ing was hard and 9dematous, or filed
with water. Both lids of the eyes were
swollen and also filled with water. The
lips were blush black and phlectyneous,
or, in PLAIN English. we're covered with
pimples. From the character of the
swelling, the high fever. the death of
the patient. and the history of the case,
DR.. LeMonnier was certain that the d.
sease was Charlton, and gave a certifi-
cate to that effect.
The doctor covered the face of the
corpse carefully, and forbade any per-
son approaching the body for fear of
contagion, and the charity wagon was
sent for, and on Saturday noon the body
was buried.
Inquiry in the vicinity failed to de-
velop any cases of Charlton among the
animals on the plantation.
Cases of this kind are of very rare
occurrence, and but few physicians
have met with any in their practice,
although they are said to occur occas-
ionally in the Tethe country. Ernest
was about IS years of age. and native
of Maryland. He had, however, been
residing in New Orleans and vicinity for
the past forty years.-NeW Orleans Pic

Gen. Buffers singular Vow.

General Benjamin F. Butler has declined
to act for Guiteau, Notwithstanding the ur-
gent appeal of his relatives. 1t IS not gener-
ally known that General Butler some years
ago made q vow never to enter a Criminal
Court as counsel for a prisoner under cTimi-
nal indictment. The reason he assigns for
such action carries with it quite a history.
1t appears that during his second term in
congress one of his henchmen-and a faith
full friend-who was Sheriff in one of the
counties of his Congressional district, re-
ceived a telegraphic dispatch from the sheriff
of an adjoining county asking him to arrest
a prisoner who had escaped from bis custody
and Was on board an incoming train. On
the arrival of the train in question the culprlt
was arrested, and the sheriff locked him up
pro tenn in the railroad depot, from which he
subsequently escaped. Pursued by the sheriff
the prisoner halted at the bank of a creek,
produced a pistol, and threatened his pursuer
with death should he advance one step fur
Their. The courageous sheriff, though un-
armed, did not hesitate in the discharge Of
his duty, and met his death III consequence.
The man was hunted down and in a short
time safely lodged in Jail. Then came the
funeral Of his victim, at which General But
Ter, next to the widow and fatherless, acted
as chief mourner. "Some six months after
this says General Bntler, Il was in the
Criminal Court when the prisoner before

swer to the Presiding Judge he represented
himself as being without counsel, and re-
quested that | should defend him, which re
quest Was granted. | pleaded ali sorts of ex-
cuses, but in the State Of Massachusetts a
similar request from a prisoner on trial for
bis life never passes unheeded. and | was
compelled to act as defender Of the man who
had SO cruelty deprived one Of my very best
friends of his life. Once assigned, = said he,
Il forgot everything but my official oath as
an attorney, and succeeded SO we'll for my
client that in the end he was convicted of a
minor degree Of manslaughter, e~ntailing only
a few years incarceration in Jail. Then
came the hue and cry of my political enc
mics. This is the man. they said, who es-
corts the widow to the grave at the funeral
Of his faithful henchman, weeps crocodile
tears and defends the assassin and assists
him in defeating the ends Of Justice
"At the mex election" said General But
Ter, 81 did not even get one vote in that dis
trict, though heretofore they had been unan-
imously cast in my interest. Can you then
wonder at my registering a vow never to
enter a criminal court again ?" :

mer, Ethelbert ard Viola stood together at
the chancel of st. Agnes church, and amid
a solemn hush, broken only by the low notes
of the organ, Ethelbert had handed the cos
socked man of God a $40 bill, and told him
in tremulous tones to '.cut her as short as
the sacred edifce Elhelbert could see as he

The words fell on oE1helbert's off ear with
terrible dis.inctness, but he needed them not.
They came to him again this bright morning
in April as Viola for the eighth time asked
him to pass the butter. He had seen the
buckwheat cakes disappear forever between
her ruby lips, drawn thither with the same
fatal certainty that the doomed vessel, once
within the current Of the Norwegian mael-
strom, is hurried swiftly and surely to de-
struction. And before him lay the morning
paper, from whose columns glared with lurid
%distinctness the horrible, blood-curdling
words "Best creamery butter, 45 cents.
care you going to pass the butter, sWeetie?
Vlola's words reused Ethelbert from the
reyerie into which he had fallen. In a dull,
dazed way he showed her the butter dish.
"You look sad, my darling Viola said.
"Do u p was Ethelbelt's response. THAT
is strange, because | am feeling unusually
happy this morning"
And why do you feel happy?' asked
Viola, smiling tenderly as she spoke.

her with a cold Charles, Francis Adams ex-
preston, . summer will soon be here and

st. Louis jurors have acquitted a woman
who enthusiastically confessed a murder.
The porch of a church was a common re-
sort for young sweethearts and others in the
evening. Frederick Tonsen, who lived near
by, was in the habit of lying in wait to listen
to the conversation and watch the actions Of
the couples. He was seen one dark night to
steal slyly up the steps. An instant after
wards q pistol shot was heard. A man and
q girl FASTENED away, and Tonsin was found
dying. After a long search the police identl-
fed the girl as Kitty Mulcahy, and she said
that she had shot Tonsin with a pistol
which her companion handed her for that
purpose. This story she adhered to until her
trial, when she pronounced it q fabrication,
and declared that the man was the shooter,
Who he was she did not know, except thai
he was q commercial drummer whose &C
quaintance she had casually formed. This
jury believed her.
