Pierre Roster stood up and said in
answer to the advocates question:
"For two days past the passers-by OH
The opposite sitlo have reported that the
house was haunted. One man told me
he had seen a frightful face at the
upper windows, which came and dis
appeared. Yesterday afternoon noti-
lied my relief Of these strange reports.
with the consent of the Commissaire we
entered the house and searched floor
after floor. We reached the cellar, and
were about leaving it when we heard a
scratching sound at the rear Of the dark
underground chamber. Turning our
lamps III the direction whence the sound
came we saw, huddled up i'll a corner, Il
terrible looking object 1t was q man,
with fierce, haggard face. lie spr;,ng
up, but not SO quickly that we did not
throw ourselves upon him, bear him To
the ground and secure him before he
could recover from his surprise. We
called Tor assistance and conveyed him
TO the Commissaire's Office, taking with
us'the club, a very heavy piece of wood
resembling the larger end of a billiard
cue. This weapon was covered with
clots of blood and fragments of. dried
flesh. The man was evidently very
nearly famished."

"Yes. He said he had killed his wife
and had danced the DEVILS jig upon her
body. The only things we found upoll
his person was this bit of paper and a
bit OF apencil, both stained with blood. /"
'IhiS piece of paper" said the advo-
cate, holding it up, "eXactly fits the
written paper from which it was torn,
found in the blood near The body. This
is the pencil.
: "Ilere remains now but one more
statement necessary. That is mine. l.
promised the accused, my client, not to
reveal his secret unless it was absolutely
necessary. 1t is now necessary as the
finale of this case.
Mime. BoudinOt was Nine. ROauc
lalre. After her husband was incarcc-
rated III the Mlaison de Sante, through
his. having several times ATTEMPTED her
life, she became acquainted with NJ, Jean
Beauchamp. They became intimate, in
fact, loved each other devotedly. In
order. to avoid complications, she re-
moved from her former residence in the
Rue de Livaudais to the house which
Nj. Beauchamp had rented for their Joint
occupancy. There they lived. There,
on the night OF the 10th of June, after
Nj, .Beauchamp had gone out, she was
husband, who, by What strange means
we shall probably never ascertain, had
traced her, and, with all the cunning OF
the craZed, had concealed himself in the
house.. watched his chance, and then,
sprlnging upon her, beat her, mangled
.her as she was found; then, with devilish
glce, hid himself in the cellar, and after
wards betrayed himself by appearing at
the windows This is our case"
M. Beauchamp was released.

THE EARLY RAIN,

Down through tho misty-air,
Down from the gloom above,
railing, pattering, everywhere,
The rain comes quick with love.
Softly tho misscl-thrush
Sings III the golden Storm
The robin under II laurel bush
Waits for tomorrow morn.
Drip drip, drip from the caves.
Pit, pit, pit Oh the pane
Swish, swish, swish on the drenched leaves
List! tits the song of the rain.
Grasses arc bending low,
Green Is the corn and thick;
You can almost sec the ncttles grow,
They grow SO strong and quick.
Soft is the wind from the west,
Softer the rains low sigh;
The sparrow washes his smoky breast,
And watches the gloomy sky.
Stirred are the boughs by the breeze,
Scarcely leaf is still,
Something is moving among the trees,
Like restless spirit of i'll.
Standing Watching the rain,
Do you not seem to hear
The voice Of God outspeaking again

Promising plenty and peace,
Garners with treasure hcaped,
That sced-time and harvest shall not cease
Till the Harvest of Earth be reaped.

Politeness In Children.

There is perhaps no grace so becoming
in youthful humanity as true politeness-
1t is so beautiful that we look upon 1t with
the same sort of delight that characterizes
our contemplation of the sublime. Youth
is the best season in which to learn polite
ness,-for there is scarcely anything in social
life SO difficult to assume. Ifcare be taken
in the education of,children they grow into
a natural exercise of this junction, for 1t is
function more than an art. Artistic po-
liteness is what it becomes when learned
in later life, when it becomes more the
assumption of a pant than the beautiful
outgrowth of a proper state OF natural feel.
ing.
True politeness should be taught, and in
such manner, too, as to inculcate princi
pies that should have their outward exhi-
bition in a courteous demeanor. Much OF
our success in life, whatever our scholastic
attainmenis, depends upon how We impress
people.
There are men to-day, whose minds are
ripe in scholarly ability, whose every &C
ton, work, or tone, even, Iepels and they
fail. Their methods of address are uncul
tivated and their usefulness in measure
destroyed, all of which might have been
avoided in youth.-Exchange.

A Timely Book.

There Is no subject so prominently before
the American people at the present time as
that Of Mormonism. 1t is the topic Of the
hour. The newspapers and magazines are
nlled with 1t, the ministers preach about It
and 1t is the topic of private conversation.
The last article of the late DR.. Bacon was
''The Utah Problem" and was left unfinished
with the question "what are you going to do
about It." Most people think they know all
about 1t, but even the best Informed after
perusing the pages Of the new book, "The
Women Of Mormonism" have to confess to
feelings Of astonishment at the iniquities
there portrayed, and to admit that the half
had not been told.
Miss Frances Z, willard, In the introduc-
ton to the book, says: al haye read its pages
with thoughts too deep for tears. Some sui
phur shrouded planet may have vocabulary
fiendish enough to ftly characterize what
they reveal, but mere English is only the yo-
cabulary of prating parrot in presence oil
such pathos and such woe."
"The Women of Mormonism or the Story
Of PolygamY as Told by the Victims Them
SELVES" Is an authentic work. 1t Is edited
by q lady In Salt Lake City, Utah, who has
long been one OF the leaders in the Anti-Po-
lygamy cause. She relates the stories Of the
victims" almost in their own words. The
persons who made the statements, many OF
whom are still In the Mormon church and see
no way out, were willing to make private
affidavits to the truthfulness of their &C
count.
Rey. Moses Smith, pastor Of the Second
Congregational Church, Detroit, Mich,
writes: 'sI read the manuscript pages with
an interest which at times rose to astonish-
ment and indignation. This book am sure
will be found to be the right thing, in the
right place, at the right time and from the
right source. Every pastor in the land may
recommend the volume before he sees 1t, and
million copies ought to be sold in one year"
This work is to make a great stir in the
country; every one who hears OF II wants to
read 1t. II is sold only by subscription so as
to have IL circulated as widely as possible.
To places where no agent can be secured the
work will be sent by mail on receipt Of the
price 81.
The enterprising agent who secures choice
territory will be fortunate. We understand
the publisher desires good agents In this
county. Full particulars can be obtained by

The County Press.

I'VE give place 10 the following article
because it contains suggestions valuable to
our readers, if they will act upon them
We should be glad if many would take
personal interest in the material and intel
lectual and moral growth of this commu.
nitya
The county newspaper reaches every
postoffice and almost every household.
The man who takes daily, or religious,
or an agricultural paper has also his local
paper. Great numbers read no other pa
per than the one published at the county
seat.
The circulation of any one OF these is
not laig sc, but the aggregate circulation is
immense. The character of the local
press and its influence upon the commit
nifty is a matter of great interest to Chris
tian people.
The story, advertisements, summary of
general news of the day ale generally good.
But thee is -eat lack in many Of them
in that for which the home paper is need
ed. We need less of the silliaess of three
fou- tbs of the pe' sonals. Temperance gels
very little help ON a majority of these
paper. Theie ale some noble exceptions.
Tie fault lies largely with the moi al and
religious people. They can if they Will
elevate the Character of tae local paper.
Ministers, teachers, students, professional
men and others should w-i;e far more for
their home psoei. Tie editors are very
geDtlemanly, snd their columns are always
open to brief original contributions on al
most any subject. The preacher can have
a lsrger and more apprec'at:ve congrega-
tion by writing for the home paper than by
the sermon on the Sabbath. We can write
against all wrongs, and advocate all good
things through this accessible medium.
Whenever lhe. good people of Ohio can
ture the county papers, and the best men
and women of each county write short,
vigorous, frequent articles from every
standpoint for temperance the fight will
be largely won. In the advocacy of the
proposition for constitutional prohibition
we are now shut up to the religious press
Almost all who take religious papeIs will
vote for the prohibitory amendment. But
if we reach the important remainder every
issue of every county paper saould have
firm temperate advocacy Of this cause from
this time to the fall election.
We can as preachers, teachers and citi
zens generally, do much to supply the 10
cal demand for news and items of high
er grade. Every preacher should preacf
with types. We reach hearers who vii
not listen TO us from the pulpit. We neet
no. confine uiseives to religion and NOR
ality. We are interested 10 and can writ
about road impi oyemeD:s, tee planting
village interests, schools, school houses
history, science, and travels, and can giv'
notices of our Chulch services and Sunda,
Schools.
The best writer's should write for tn
home paper. Because the circulation j
limited is no reason why the article
should be few or poorly prepared. Som
of the best of ourcit;zens editors. The.
can do a great good by enlisting every PFC
fessional man in the county to wife upol
some topic ofimpoIiance. They have it i
their power to elevate the whole commr
nity.-Rev. T. w. Stanley in Wes:er

On this the people will divide and the par
