A REMARKABLE TRIAL.
a Noted Frcnchmnn nnu His FrigI,tfui
Crime.

The most remarkable trial of modern
times Is now in progress in Paris. The
Marquis de Rays and seventeen accom-
plices are on trial for manslaughter and
fraud.
Tho Marquis advertised six years ago
that no owned the island of Port Breton
III tho Pacific, aud was ready to sell lnnds
to colonists. Maps of the island, rival
ing those of Eden shown to Martin
Chuzzlewitz, were prepared, and repre-
scented Port Breton as Il civilized and
flourishing place, with public buildings,
theatres, and everything else adapted to
make n French colonist contented. The
Marquis announced that he intended to
people his island exclusively with French
Legitimists, for whose piety and devo.
ton to Henri V. he had the most un-
limited reverence Such colony would
command the appreciation of his alleged
Majesty, and were France to continue tq
reject him, the King would probably go
to Port Breton and reign over his faith.
ful colOnists.
The Marquis's scheme was warmly
supported by the Legitimist papers. No
less than 700, 900 hectares of land were
sold, although the island contains only
1900. Money was also lavishly sub
Scribrd for fitting out ships to convey
emigrants, and this money, exclusive of
that received from the sale of land, is said
t" have amounted to 5,000,O00f Four

scheme of the Marquis was q bona fidc
one. The colonists sent out by tho Mar

reached Port Breton found that it was

turcd and eaten by the natives, and only
about 100 escaped to reach an inhabited
,'ountry.
OF the guilt Of the Marquis de Rays
and those associated with him there can
he no doubt. He knew that his whole
scheme was fraudulent one. Probably
no imagined that most of his victims
would be drowned in consequences of tho
nscaworthy character of the ships in
which he had sent them TO sea, and that
II any of them did reach Port Breton
they would starve to death before any
means of escaping could reach them.
HIS crime was not manslaughter, but
wholesale and deliberate murder, and
no punishment that he can receive will
m ,ct his deserts.

How ssGroasers " Live.

Tho word "Greaser' is applied TO the
common native or Indian Mexican.
There is great and marked difference,
like caste distinction, between the
"Greaser" Mexican and the Spanish
Mexican, who boast of descent from
pure Castilian blood. Tho former is
lazy, thriftless, ignorant, superstitious,
and unstable. The latter Is usually
bright, active, and intelligent. Asmight
be expected, they, in harmony with The
white element, control most of the
wealth and commerce Of the country.
In thenorthern States of old Mexico the
greatest portion of the people are OF the
former class, and hence the Govern
merfs are unstable and subject to fire.
qu0nt revolution under the influence Of
tactlous leaders. In the more southerly
States there is greater diffusion of the
Castlllan blood, and revolutions are
more rare and difficult. On tho ranch
or village home of the "Greaser" Mexi-
can everything bears the stamp of negli-
gence and shiftlessness.
Their gaunt, sharp-nosed, long legged,
and tan-colored hogs share with their
owners in the comforts of the family
residence. No fences except brush sur
round their fields. Generally there are
none. They raise just sufficient wheat,
hurley, beans, and chill Cred peppers) to
meet their absolute needs. They thrash
their crops upon bare, smooth ground
by driving hocks of goats over them and
washing in the nearest stream. They

Diogenes, "you need 90 no further. |

Bargaining With u Pump.

Some thirty years ago, an intemper-
ate man was reformed by being refused
one cherry. Penniless, no went to the
public house one morning, where he had
squandered many shilling, to get a
drink con tick" The landlndy refused
to trust him. Seeing n plate of luscious
ripe cherries Oh the bar, he asked for
but one. "Savc your money and buy
your own cherries" was the reply. ''I
will, he said, and he did. His wounded
pride forced him to reflect; reflection
ensured amendment. From that mo; H.
ing he was reformed.
The following story tells of flannel.
weaver who was induced by sllrly an
swer to reflect and thon to make a gooG
bargain with pump.
This man had saved n guinea for the
purpose of having whole weeks dissi.
patton. Ho began on Monday, spending
three shillings per day for seven days !;
on the morning of the eighth he was
burning with thirst but his money was
gone.
Judy, the landla6y, was mopping the
pnssage; he stood looking at Judy, with
his cracked lips, parched tongue and
Dioodshot eyes, expecting her to ask
HIM to take just drop; but she did not,
and he requested her to trust him fcr
only one pint.
With m indignant look of scorn nni
contempt shereplied, "Trust thee thou
dirty, idle vagabond ! Set step i'll this
house, and will dash this mop in tn,
face"
The poor wretch hung down his hcaG
il shame. He was leaning against II
pump; and after little study began tc
talk to the pump.
"Well, Pump" said he, 'T have no,
spent n guinea with thee, Pump; VIII
thou trust mo a drop?"
He lifted up the handle, put his bul7,.
ing mouth to the spout, and drank hi,
till; this done, he again said to th
pump
THANK thee, Pump; and now hca
me, Pump. I will not enter a puh!;,
house again for seven years ana
Pump, thou art a witnuss."
The bargain was kept, and this IN u
atterward became respectable ma II.
lncturcr, and often said that it was
grand thing for him that Judy threat
1ned to dash the mop in his face.

because there is no other kind in that

this country. Down the shaded lane,
and in the fairy dell, on verdant hillsides
and in the daisy.sprinkled meadow,
wherever two or three Blades of grass

of garlic in their midst. You never saw
