Terrible Tragedy.

A shocking tragedy has occurred in
Pars. An old woman named Chretien
had for many years kept an imitation
jewelry warehouse. Her nephew,
Ernest Dublanchy, clerk in the bank
of NM. Lyon and Allemand, lived
with her. His employers reposed the
utmost confidence in him but, short
time ago, they discovered that he had
Pmbezzled upward Of $4,000. They
determined. however, to hush up the
matter, on condition that Nine.
Chretien should sell her business,
valued at $1,000, and hand the money
over to them. But Dublanchy abso-
iutely refused to attempt to impose
such a sacrifice on his relative, offer
ng instead to pay $50 a month until
the deficit should be cleared off. This
proposal was rejected by the bankers.
who informed the culprit that they
must have him arrested. On the
following day the bankers received
letter from him declaring that he
would kill his aunt and himself if they
did not accede to his request. No
steps were, however, taken in the
matter, but the next morning friend
Of Dublanchy. having received note
from him saying that by that time he
and his aunt were dead, hurried to
their house. The warehouse was open,
and all the employees present. They
said that they had been let in by
Dublanchy, but had not seen him
since. The friend, still anxious,
entered their private apartments, and
on going into Dublanchy's room found
him lying on his bed, his head pierced
by bullet. In the adjoining chamber
The corpse of Nine. Chretien was
found. She had been shot in the head
and in the breast. In the opinion of
the medical man who examined the
bodies, the old woman must have been
dead at least an hour before the house
was opened.

A Mistake Rectifled.

The story of a New York clergyman
who was in the act of admiring $40
gold piece which he had received for a
marriage fee when messenger from
the groom arrived to exchange it Tor
small bill reminds a correspondent of
an incident in the clerical experience
of the Rev. Christopher Corey, of La
Grange county, Indiana. Several
years ago on very cold day that ex-
ceIlent man rode on horseback dis
lance of six miles to perform mar
riage ceremony. As he was about
starting for home, having duly author
lied the two hearts to beat as one, a
coin was placed in his hand. He
dropped it into his pocket and rode
away. When he got home he looked
at it, and 10 it was an old-fashioned
copper cent. The next morning the
groom appeared at his door, and hav-
ing explained with considerable en-
.barrassment how the annoying mis-
take had been made, took back the
coin and handed the clergyman a
quarter.

The United States department of
state has received an interesting report
from Consul Du Merge, of St Paul de
LoandO, West coast of Africa in regard
TO the trade of that country and the bar
barous customs of the natives of Dondo
in the province of Angola. The follow
ing is an extract from the report; When
dead the common negro is buried any
where, may be a few yards from the
door of his cupata, or in the middle of
the road. Sobas, or native chiefs, are
inferred with more ceremony. For three
months the corpse is kept above the
giound sitting in a chair, and daily en-
veloped in new pieces of cloth, which
are stolen in the night by his former sub
jects. After this lapse of time he is de-
posted in his grave, two grown-up
slaves being decapitated and their
bodies being inferred with him, as well
as a boy and girl both alive, the former
holding the Sobas pipe and the latter a
vessel with water. Another barbarism not
yet abolished is judgment by fetish,
viz, the accused man to show his inno-
cence, deliberately swallows certain

he vomit it, he is innocent, but if his
stomach retains it he Is guilty of the
crime imputed to him and dies.

Salt and Lime.

poses: Mix one bushel of salt with two
bushels of dry lime, under cover and

this purpose the mixture should lie

Cloth Turning Buttcr White.

The cause of print butter turning white
by lying in a cloth is said by an au-
thority q to be "the effect of the acids
used in bleaching cloth; also, that it can
be avoided by the use of the thinnest
make of muslin or cheese cloth" This
Explanation will be very unsatisfactory
to the dairyman who is troubled with his
| print butter. Acids are not used in
bleaching. The agent made use of in
bleaching is chlorine gas in combination
with lime, and the thinnest muslin is
bleached in the same way as thicker
goods. 1t is also necessary to remove all
traces of the chlorine as soon as the
goods are bleached to save the fibre from
being destroyed by the chlorine, which is
remarkably corrosive in its effects. So
that this explanation is none at all. But
white goods are, like everything else,
|adultered with paste and white clay, terra
alba and the alkaline effect of the clay
would cause butter to turn white, Just as
impure salt having lime in it, and CON
|sequently chloride of lime would also do
+ it. If the cloths are washed and thor
oughly rinsed from soap, and the salt
used is pure there will be no change in
the butter which comes in contact with
