In st. Louis good many years ago.
Her name was Kate Watts, and she
was the step-daughter of Col. Murray,
head of a once wealthy lottery firm in
st. Louis. In 1867 she married Seymour
D. Voullaire, a lawyer of that city.
They lived together happily for nearly
ten years; then Mr.. Voullaire learned
that his wife had been unfaithful to
him, although she was the mother of
four children. In 1868 they separated
on account of an intimacy between the
wife and Chas. Ruth, - delivery clerk
in the st. Louis Post Office. Previous
to this Voullaire had an alteration
with man in the old st. Louis DEM
ocrat newspaper office, whom he sus-
pected of having led his wife astray.
Voullaire began the attack, drawing
his pistol, which, however, was taken
from him before he could use it upon
his unarmed adversary.
After the separation Voullaire was
told, one Saturday night, that his wife
had gone to the theatre with Ruth. He
laid in wait for them, and on their re-
turn he shot Ruth in the arm. The
wound was slight, and Ruth soon re-
covered. Subsequently there was an
other encounter between Voullaire and
Ruth, in which four shots were ex-
changed. Ruth was not hurt, but You'll
laire received severe wound in the
right side; and he was taken to the Sis
ters' Hospital, where a reconciliation
was effected between husband and wife.
Their second honeymoon lasted only
short time, and then Voullaire obtained
a divorce. Then Mrs. Voullaire was
married to Ruth, and they went to
Lawrence, Kansas, to reside. About
eighteen months later Ruth suddenly
died from poison, as the post-mortum
colte, who had become intimate with
her, were accused of administering the
poison. Medlicolte was found guilty of
murder and sentenced to be hanged.
An appeal to the Supreme Court gained
for him new trial, which resulted in
his acquittal. Mr. Voullaire appeared
for his faithless wife and succeeded in
securing her acquittal, too, having dem
onstrated that Ruth had taken the poi
son accidentally.
After her release from prison the
woman went to New Orleans, where
she met and married Mr.. Kelly, an
agent of steamship line. Mr.. Kelly
took her to New York city, and about
a year ago she succeeded in inducing
daughter who still remained in st.
Louis to go to the former city to live.
Age seems to have had little effect
upon the remarkable woman's charac-
ter, and that at a time when other
women are deemed old she retained the
power to charm was proved in the case
of the unfortunate young man who took
her life and his own.

Friends and Foes,

"'Tis sad to think that any man
May have an enemy;
But think of one without a friend;
How hard his lot must bel"
"1es," said the sage, "but harder yet
Is his who never knows
True friendships worth, till, one by one,
His friends have turned to foes"
''IIow shall I act to gain a friend?
How keep him by my side?"
''To gain friend act like friend,"
The white haired sage replied.
"To keep a friend be true to him,
AS to all other men;
Make him in heart az your other self
He'll not desert you then"
"But should some trouble intervene,
And he should careless grow,
How shall treat my friend, that he
May not become my foe!"
"Just as before. Be kind and true;
Be manly toward him still;
And thus you make him powerless
To work you any ill.
Sand if you have all enemy,
Which may the Lord fOrefend!
At all times leave him room enough
To be, some day, your friend.
"For 'he that hath thousand friends
Hath not Il friend to spare;
And he that hath one enemy
Shall meet him everywhere"

Confederate Bonds.

Another attempt is being made to get
up boom in Confederate bonds. For
some time past Baltimore stock brokers
have been advertising for Confederate
State bonds. The movement in these
bonds started some three years ago,
and since that time the purchases have
been very large, one firm alone hand
ling about $50, 1000, 900 of them. Balti-
more has been the headquarters for
their purchase and Europe the destina-
ton of the bonds. orders coming from
large London firm. When the excite
ment first began the bonds, which
were considered worthless, brought 81
per $1,000. The price subsequently ad-
vanced and has gone up as high as $15
per 1000, though now they are from
Sc to s. per $1,000 for 6, Z and s per
cent. bonds. The bonds are somewhat
scarce now, though some days 100000
will change hands and other days not
500. The dealings are altogether in
coupon bonds with the 1865 or prior
coupons on. One Baltimore dealer who
makes the Confederate bonds speciality
has offers from the South of bonds in
lots ranging from 100000 to 100000
Richmond brokers and others in the
South are purchasing them and sending
them to the London house, the head of
which is said to be party by the name
of Moses. North Carolina war bonds
are also being bought for 81 on the
$1,000
Since the furry began there has been
great rummaging about old closets,
chests, boxes, etc, for the pieces of
paper that contained the promises to
pay of the Confederate States of Amer
lea. Some bring them into brokers'
offices already framed, having been pre-
served as curosities; others bring them
stiff with paste, having taken them from
the screens which they have long deco
rated, and it is even said the bonds have
at times been used for wallpaper by
Enthusiastically inclined people. 1t is safe
to say the walls have needed new paper
ing since Confederate bonds began to
have marked value. What they are
being bought for is what no fellow can
find out. Some have advanced the
theory that the purchasers entertain a
forlorn hope of their being paid some
day; but another, and perhaps equally
as rational theory, has been put for
ward. During the late war England
did buy some Confederate securities,
and at the close of the war found them
worthless. 1t has been suggested that
the holders still entertain an idea of get
ting something back. The present pur-
chasers, it is said, believe the same way.
The summing up of the theory is that
the English holders look for some com
plications to arise between the two coun-
tries, and hope that in its adjustment
England will be in position to insist
on the United States indemnifying the
English holders of Confederate bonds.

! eyes? He looks at the watch: then he
| gazeS at You. Then he looks around
ut the clock on the gallery to be assured
| that his watch hasn't been stopped ever
since last Sunday. Then he makes
movement to close the watch and re-
turn it to his pocket, but changes his
mind, looks at it again. smiles a de-
spairing smile, and holds his hand up
little SO that his neighbor can see what
| time it is. Then, with long, fixed
look at you, he clicks his watch shut
and slowly returns it to his pocket with
the expression of man whose amaze
ment has struck him dumb, and who
cannot actually believe the evidence of
his own senses. If the time-keeper
cannot ruin the closing five minutes of
your sermon you are proof against an
noyance.
VI. The SoUEAKER.-He comes in
late. His pew is the furthest from the
door, His boots are vocal monsters
that are never worn save on the Sab
bath day to keep it noisy. Down the
long aisle he walks, squee-squaw, squee-
squaw. When he reaches his pew there
are strangers in it. He is the soul of
hospitality, and he wouldn't disturb one
of them for $1,000. Back he goes to a
seat under the gallery, squee-squaw,
squee-squaw. Then he remembers that
he has notice for you to read, and back
he squeaks to the pulpit, hands you the
wrong notice, and solemnly squawks
back to the door, and once more squeaks
back to the pulpit, delivers the proper
notice, and calmly squawks back to his
distant seat, he alone solemn, while all
others are inclined to smile. The
squeaker is such a good man you can't
bear to scold him. He's awfully good.
And the gooder he is the worse he
squeaks.
VII. The TALKING TRAvELER.-This
brother is usually sister. She comes
to church Sunday morning careful and
troubled about all the unfinished mis-
siOnary and sewing circle business of
the week. She has no idea of going
directly to her own pew, but she heads
straight for some other sister, and in
the solemn hush that precedes the SER
vices and all the time the congregation
is gathering, you can hear her voice as
cending high in sibilant buzzes. From
the first sister she fits to another, and
buzz, buzz, buzz, the talk goes on. Her
voice rises higher as the choir inter-
rupts her conversation with voluntary,
and only when the minister rises for
prayer does she relapse into enforced
silence. The time of the short prayer
she utilities by travelling to her own pew,
so she rustles and patters an accompani-
ment to the invocation, dropping into
h,,,. - h., Il, L.
across the church, and seeing sister
over on the other side whom she had
been unable to include in her itinerant
caucus, she noiselessly shapes half
dozen words at her with her mouth,
which she opens and shuts, and expands,
in this voiceless effort, in such dreadful
pantomime, that if it were not in church
you would think the sister was swear
ing.-Robt. j. Burdette, in Cincinnati
Enquirer.

True Economy.

A day or two since a Detroit woman
called at police headquarters and gave
notice that her son, q young man of
seventeen, had suddenly disappeared
and she had reason to think he had been
drowned.
"Where do you think he was
drowned?' asked the clerk.
"Well, l think it was off the foot of
St. Aubin Avenue"
eve will send an officer to investi-
gate and, perhaps, drag the river"
80, thank you, sir, she said, but as
she continued to hang around the Of
flee the clerk finally asked if she wan
ted anything further.
"About how much will it cost to find
if my son was drowned and to drag for
the body?"
at won't cost you anything" ma
dam.
''But how much will it cost the cityp"
80, l suppose the time might be
estimated at three dollars"
II was thinking, sir-I was thinking
if it wouldn't be cheaper for the city
to give me that amount in cash and not
take any steps at all, for | shouldn' t
bit wonder if Henry ran away to To-
ledo and is all right! Three dollars is
quite sum to poor widow like me-
Indeed, I'd take two dollars and sign a
receipt in full"
Henry's body hasn't been dragged
for yet-DetrO1 Free Press.

An Affecting Scene in Police Court.

In the District Court last Friday
George Basto, machinist at the Grey
lock mills, an intelligent mechanic
who has always earned good salary,
was arraigned for non-support of his
wife. The charge was made by his
wife, who came from Utica, N. Y, for
that purpose. When Mrs. Basto en-
tered the court her eyes rested on her
husband. Taking a seat, with her
hand over the region of her heart, as
though to still the palpitation, she cried
frantically: George, why do you
leave meP Why do you put me away
from youP L want to live with you. I
love you more than anything else in the
world, and don't want to live away
from you" The husband gazed stead
lily at the court, shaking his head dep
recatingly. The wife began to cry and
Lawyer Thayer, who appeared for the
husbands defense, forgot his clients
cause, and pleaded with Mr.. Basto to
return to his wife, who sat before him
in tears, but the husband refused, and
said that he had tried it too often; that
he had three times returned to his wife
and each time the result was the same.
There was no charge of infdelity on
either side and no jealousy. 1t was
only Mrs. Basto's horrible appetite for
intoxicating liquors, said her husband.
and he could not live with her. for he
had three times tried it. The husband
returned to Greylock, and the wife in
tears to a house in Washington avenue,
where her husband volunteered to pay
her board while she stays here.-North
