''Hellop' exclaimed he, ''here is some
thing most superlatively peculiarP'
what is it2' asked the colonel.
"See for yourself, colonel. A piece of
linen is sticking out of the hole made bv
the plowshare, and there is a mark on the
end of it,"
That's sop said the colonel. seWeIll
Well that criminal does not seem to have
been very shrewdl Still, how can we find
out whose name these initials stand forP''
Anyhow" suggested the public prose-
cutor, there is one thing we can do. Let
us send for the five or six laundresses that
are In Briqueville. If mistake not. one
OF them will give us a clew."
"A good idear' exclaimed the colonel,
ga very good idea.'
An hour later the six Briqueville wash.
erWomen were collected together, and
each, in turn, held her nose between her
thumb and forehnger as she stooped over
the strange, inodOrous box, from which
hung the bit of linen that was to bring ali
their sagacity into play.
Suddenly one of them exclaimed:
81 know the mark 1t is Mile. Aglae's
linen"
''Who is Mile. Aglae?''
"A customer of mine who died about
two years ago."
'Do you know what has become of her
linen?'
''Why, of course I do. Her servant in
herited of her clothes as well as of everv
thing else. She now resides in the house
of her dead Mistress
The public prosecutor and the colonel
exchanged a look of triumph.
Just then Corp. Poireau, who had
been examining the box very closely. ex-
claimed: "Why, this is still more pc
culiar"
What is the matter nowY' asked the
colonel.
''The matter is, colonel, think I per-
ceive the end of bone. You may see for
yourself, colonel, it is really the end of
bone"
$50 it is" said the colonel. Look,
Monsieur lie PrOcureur, and see if it
isn't"
The public prosecutor did as directed
For little while he had felt somewhat
excited over the turn affairs were taking.
The case was becoming more and more
1t was q lucky Windfal to
him. He sat down and scrubbed a few
words on piece of paper.
''Take this to the telegraph office" said
ne. 'It is a dispatch to the minister of
Justicel And now" added he, complacent-
ly rubbing his hands together, eve shall
leave this box to be opened by the exam
lining magistrate and the coroner. They
will find their work already done for them.
AS for you, worthy woman, lead the way
to the house you spoke of!''
AS they went along the attorney could
not conceal his satisfaction.
''Well, colonel, what do you think? We
have got a fine case, haven't we?''
"A fine case, indeed" replied the
colonel. "a first class murder! That will
be a toOthsome mOrsel for the juryl'

Gertrude nearly swooned away when She
saw her home invaded by so formidable
an array of authorities. But how great So
ever might have been her surprise, it in
nowise equaled the establishment of the in
vaders, who stood before her with open
mouths, as if transfXed. The seventy
springs of the worthy maiden, and the
hairy treble wart which softened the aus
tere outlines of her nose, produced on their
minds an impression they had not eX-
pected.
''Sapristi, " whispered the colonel to the
public prosecutor, ''the lady seems to me
rather too ripe to have anything to do
with crime of this nature.'
Although visibly discounted, the at

Matters had to be explained, however.
They were in a most satisfactory manner
by Monsieur Gregoire, the headle of Saint
Ursula, who threw so much light on the
affair that it only made the public prose
cutor's vexatiOn all the more evident.
A pug! Was it possible? 1t was so DOS
sible thatit was the truth The prosecutor
had to believe the evidence of his own
eyes, when the skeleton of Mira, Invested
of its winding sheet, lay upon the office
table, testifying to the truth of what Mon
sieur Gregoire had advanced.

his best German. The grandfather
showed some surprise and said, little
crustily, that he was sorry that there
was no beans. Then he turned to the
next eldest, girl, and asked her what
she would like for breakfast. "I'd like
some beans, please, grossvater," said
the girl, as a matter of course. The
grandfather appeared somewhat vexed,
have. g Beans, please" said he. The
old gentleman here grew decidedly an
CRY. But he asked all the rest of the
children in turn, down to the youngest
tot, and all declared that they wanted
some beans. And when they found
that they could have none, the smallest
children, overcome all at once by home
sickness, began to cry, and the older
ones looked very distressed and I'M
happy. Their grandparents rebuked
the father and mother for not rearing
their children with better manners.
The parents protested that it was per-
fectly natural and began to feel de-
cidedly homesick themselves. at is

the wife, " and now that we have made
up our minds to that, hadn't we better

nobody enjoyed, the family packed up
their baggage and returned to Boston
and all because there was no baked

A Romance of Compressed Air.

A gentleman-who, by the way, is
quite celebrated organist himself-was
wandering through the. organ loft of
st. Andrews church, when he slipped
and fell into the diapason pipe of the
huge instrument. He went down feet
foremost into the cone of the pipe until
he was firmly wedged. The more he
struggled the tighter he wedged him
self, and being about twelve feet from
the top of the pipe, the air soon be-
gan to give out, and he became fright
ened at the idea of dying in the prison
where accident had lodged him. His
frantic shouts for help did no good.
After spending night in this danger
GUS and dismal hole and having in his
struggles stripped off his coat, he
wound it about his waist, so that no
air could escape from below. Soon he
heard the sonorous tones of the organ
and assembled the pipe until he could
reach the top with his hands. Then he
knew that air had been pumped in be-
low him and that by gradual compress
sion of the air he had been forced up
as through pneumatic tube. AS he
drew himself out of the pipe he gave
one hearty and fervent shout of
" Saved" which rang above the tones
of the organ and nearly frightened the
organist to death.-NeO York Press.

put on paper the narrowing scenes of
the field. This was a work which no
labor or fatigue or danger ever caused
him to neglect, and while his war
sketches remain among the most inter-
esting relics Of that period, his diary,
if given to the public, would prove
among the most valuable contributions
to the history of the war. Upon Gen
eral McClellan's departure for the
James he went with Pope, and later
on accompanied General Banks to New
Orleans and upon the Inflated Red
River expedition, returning later to be-
come chief of staff to his cousin, Gen
eral David Hunter, in his campaign up
the valley. After the war, declaring
himself in search only of quiet and
peace, he repaired his ruined home and
sat down under the tranquil hills and
broad-spreading trees of Berkeley, and
was visited from time to time by his
companions of the war, watching with
interest the problems of adjustment.
In 1877 President Hayes offered him
the consular-generalship to Mexico,
and he found life at the Mexican cap
ital sufficiently pleasant to devote seven
years there. And finally he is back in
his beloved Virginia.

Questions Answered.

j. NJ, STOwE.-The reissue of pen
sion certificate means the cancellation
of the old one and the issuance of
another certificate to allow an addi-
tional disability or to change the date
of commencement of pension, or to cor
rect any error appearing in the original
certificate. The pensioners name is
sometimes misspelled in his certificate
and new one is given correcting the
spelling.
7. p, ST. JoHNsBURY.-The news
papers say the committee on pensions
in the house of representatives are de-
termined not to report the depend
ent pension bill that has passed the
senate during this session of congress.
If the friends of the bill in the house
are strong enough to do it, we suppose
the matter can be considered without a
report from the committee. The matter
has been so well considered already,
both in and out of congress, that the re-
port would be a matter of form, and
congressman are no doubt already pre-
pared to vote on the question.
1. H. E., WATERBURY.-The Soldiers
Home at Bennington does not by any
means contain all the needy veterans of
Vermont. Homer Riggs, Esq, of Mid
dlebury, special examiner of the pen
sion office, made thorough canvass of
the state last October to ascertain the
number of soldiers then supported by
towns. He procured sworn statements
from the overseers of the poor of the
several towns at the governments eX-
pense. This canvass showed that ninety
nine soldiers were being supported by
towns in Vermont in October, 1887, and
one hundred seventy-four members of
soldiers families were receiving like
support at the same time. Captain
Coffey says the Home should be immedi-
ately enlarged to accommodate one
hundred inmates. The widows and chill
dren of soldiers are not admitted to the
Home at Bennington.

Victims of the Baked Beans Habit.

Quite number of years ago young
German emigrated to Boston and set
tied here among the Yankees He pros
pered, set up in business for himself,
prospered some more, and after a time
went back to Germany and brought
over from his native village a young
wife. The young people, living and
trading among the natives, became
pretty thoroughly Americanized, but did
not lose their romantic affection for
their native land. Children were born
to them. They still prospered in bust
ness, and after fifteen years the hus-
band retired from trade. His heart
still turning to Germany, he determined
to take his family there and place the
children in school, leaving it to the
future to determine whether he should
remain the rest of his life in Germany
or return to Boston after the education
Of his six children had been well add
vanced The first day after the family
had arrived at the parents old home
was Sunday, and the children, with
their father and mother, were grouped
around their grandparents table for
breakfast. Instead of being served
with the usual plates of Boston baked
beans, the elder of the children was
asked by the grandfather what he would
like to have for breakfast. "Some
beans, if you please" said the boy, in

Catarrh. The sense of SMELL of taste, of sight, of
hearing, the human voice, the mind-one more,
and sometimes a-yied to its destructive influence.
The poison it distributes throughout the system at
tacks every vital force and breaks up the most
bust of constitutions Ignored, because but little
understood, by most physicians mpotently assaulted
by quacks and charlatans. those suffering from it
have little hope to be relieved of this side of the
grave. 1t is time then, that the popular treatment
of this terrible disease by remedies within the reach
of all passed into hands at once competent and
trustworthy. The new and hitherto untried method
adopted by DIR. Sanford in the preparation of his
RADICAL CURE has won the hearty approval of
thousands 1t is instantaneous in atfordng relief in
all head colds sneezing, shutting and obstructed
breathing, and rapidly removes the most oppressive
symptoms, clearing the head, sweetenng the breath,
restoring the senses of SMELL taste and hearing
and neutralizng the constitutional tendency of the
disease towards the lungs, liver and kidneys
