The Murder Of Monsieur LouArd In HI
Workshop-The Scheme Of Tramp to
Achieve Wealth and the Detec-
ton Of His Crime.

Pierre Louard and his wife lived, in
1860, on a small estate near Lesay. in
Potion, France. They had three daugh-
tiers, Marie, Louise and Agnes. On .
July morning in the year named Pierre
found man asleep in his stable. He
was about twenty-five years of age. shoe
less, hatless and with only few miser-
able rags to cover him. Moreover, ne
was half dead from starvation and ex-
posurc. He said he was the SON of .
physician at Chalons; that his father
had been convicted of crime; that his
mother had died broken hearted; that
his friends had spurned him, and that
he had sold the little property he had
and wandered away in search of some
spot where he could earn living and
remain unknown. Louard procured
him clothes, took him to tho stream that
flowed near by and furnished him with
everything needful to make him look
respectable. Then Mad. Louard gave
him hearty meal and spoke to him
with motherly kindness The end was
that they took Afghan into their family,
and he on his part showed great apti-
tude at teamwork and the care Of cat
tie.
Though Louard possessed . fine old
dwelling beautifully situated, he had
but little land and was barely able to
make subsistence for his family.
Formerly he owned q tine estate, but
unfortunately he had aspired to be an
inventor, and the result was that he had
parted with acre after acre of his patri-
mony and achieved nothing with his
mechanical labOrs. In the rear wing Of
the dwelling was room which Louard
specially claimed as his. There he had
latbes and furnace and all the tools
and materials which his mechanical
pursuits demanded. At the end of the
corridor, directly facing the entrance
to l.ouard's workshop, was q room &C.
cupied by Frederic Buchy, . son of
Madam Louard by former marriage.
This Buchy was twenty-five years old,
uncouth, somewhat ignorant and dis
sipated.
On the night of August2, 1860, about
nine O'clock. Madam Louard and her
eldest daughter. Marie, were seated in
3 small parlor near the main entrance Of
the dwelling. The door was open, and
view OF the wide center stairway could
be distinctly had by the occupants Of
the room. Suddenly there was y sound
of hasty footsteps ON the stairs, and
mother and daughter turned their eyes
in that direction. Buchy appeared on
the first landing in his shirt-sleeves.
why. what is the matter?" Madam
Louard exclaimed. rising and Fastening
into the hall, As she reached it Blu,
chy's feet flew from under him and he
fell with grca. force. striking his head
on the hard oaken stairs. He lay there
senselcss. On being raised blood flowed
from a wound in the back of his head.
Medical aid was summoned by Afghan,
who came in st the front door, soaked
with heavy rain, almost Immediately
after tkeAaccident. Tue doctor declared
that Ruchy's skull was fractured. and
next day he was removed +, the hospi
tai at Poitiers.

A Dangsross Place for Boys-A Few
WORDS 81 Warning.
Now, my boy, tell me just one thing
I want to know. Why should a boy
drink beere You say you don't knowp
Well. neither do /; though know .
good many reasons why boy should
not drink beer.
l often notice at eating-houses and
lunch-couuters thing which has bad
look. There are great many boys
drinking beer with their MONDAY lunch.
They are clerks, errand-boys and boys
who are earning their living in various
ways They see men drinking beer.
and so they initiate the men. Whether
they like the taste of the beer or not
don't know. But they think it looks
manly; and you know boys will put
themselves to great deal of trouble
and inconvenience to do what men do.
You see this in the trouble boys take in
learning how to smoke and chew to-
bacco.
l want to whisper in the ear of every
boy who takes glass Of beer at his
lunch that he is In danger. l do not
say that one glass of beer will make
him dangerously drunko leave him ly-
ing insensible IN the gutter or on the
pavement. But a boy who has an after
Moons work to do is very likely to be
untitled for it by one glass Of beer.
This beverage makes him stupid and
thick and sleepy. 1t may not put him
actually to sleep, nor affect bis tongue
SO that bis speech sounds like that of
an old tope !; but it beclouds his brain
just enough to make him different
boy from what he ought TO be. either
for his own advantage or for that Of his
employer.
Then think what the beer leads to.
There are q great many stronger drinks
sold at the lunch-counter, and you
know boys are fond of trying expert
ments A fifteen-year old boy sees
some eightsen-year old who Is near
him trying glass of sherry or q pony
Of brandy. He thinks that what the
bigger boy is doing is manly. and
therefore he will do It, too. The novel
feeling VI the stronger drink is lew
revelation to him. His stomach is
warmed, and presently his head has .
curious feeling Of lightness, and he
wonders il these drinks always make .
fellow feel that way. He tries, and
tries. and tries again. and finds just
how they make . fellow feel It Is easy
to see that the lad Is in danger of walk
ing in crooked ways.
1t isa pity that boy should have 70
get his lunch at . place where strong
drinks are sold. There are 90 many OF
these places in our big cities, and so
few Of the ''dairies" and such places
where liquors are not to DO had The
boy who eats among drinkers Is in
danger. He is likely to fall into their
ways. Better 60 to . place where
strong drinks are not scld II you pos
sibly can. Or II you are living at home,
where you have good mother or sis
ter, bring . neat lunch in your pocket
and keep out of the eating end drink
ing shops altogether. Rev. Alfred Toy

 The State Supreme court at Hartford has been asked to decide whether the State is privileged to copyright it's law reports. The State controller let the contract of printing the reports of the Supreme Court of Errors to Banks & Co. of New York. John Hooker, the reporter of the courts, has suffered tran scripts of the decisions to be furnished to law and Banks Brothers protest that there is an interference with their business. A test case has accordingly been brought.
 A Waterbury correspondent of the Hart ford Examiner recently sent a hbelous arti- cle to his paper attacking Charles E. Thomp- son, New York and New England brake man. It turns out that the article was writ ten by F.W Wheeler of Waterbury, who sent it to the correspondent. Wheeler has been arrested by Thompson and placed under bonds. The question now troubling the lawyers is whether Wheeler or the core spondent, whose name is M. J. Brzezenski, or the paper is the party to be punished for the libel under the State law.
 In the course of Govei nor Harrison's speech at the opening of Sedgwick post Grand Army fair, Norwich, Monday night, he said: What is the State? It is something more than a small portion of the earth one hundred miles long and fifth miles broad. The State is our ancestors; it is all the noble blood that has been transmitted to us through past gen erations; it is all the benignant laws which have come down to us and under which we live; it is the constitution which WAS framed in Hartford and was the first constitution ever framed by free State. The State is John Masor, the great captain Colonel Ethan Allen of Ticondetoga fame; Israel Putnam who had command of the farmers at Bunker Hill; Nathan Hale, the revolution ary spy, and Jonathan Trumbull. The State is the McClellans, who originated in Wind ham county; the Shermans and Grants, whose blood flowed through five generations of their families in this commonwealth The State is John Brown, who was born ill Litch- field county and murdered in Virginia, but whose freed spirit led the cause in which it was engaged until the shackles fell from G. 900, 900 slaves. The State is the brave Sedg- wick, after whom this post has taken it's name; young Lyon, the genius of the war; Mansfield who fell at Antietam; and Will liam A. Buckingham of revered memory.
