New England Earness.

Concord Monitor: There is an old
gentleman in the Southeastern part
Of the state who keeps horses and
carriages to let and who is very care
full not to overcharge his patrons.
One day a gentleman hired a wagon
ofhim to to Portsmouth, where he
had carriage of his own which he
wished to get home. He hitched his
own horse to the old gentleman's
wagon and drove to Portsmouth
but on his return harnessed into his
own carriage, drawing the wagon
behind. When he asked how much
he was to pay the old gentleman
said: "Wall, ! get Is cents when the
wagon goes to Exter. It's further
to Portsmouth and I ought to have
more. Call it 33 cents" "But,"
said the gentleman, II only rode to
Portsmouth in your wagon; I didn't
use it coming back" "Wall, that's
SO. Iguess rs cents are enough"
said the old gentleman after a mo-
ment's reflection. 49,.

The Key ofDeath,

About 1900 " stranger named Te-
baldo established himself as a mer.
chant in Venice. He became enam.
ored of daughter Of ancient house,
and, asking her hand, was rejected,
the young lady being already af
fianced. Enraged, he set himself to
plan revenge, and, being II skillful
usechanician, he invented q formida-
bfe weapon. This was o large key,
the handle of which. when pressed,
sent out from the other end of the
key a needle of such fneness that it
entered the flesh and buried itself
there, leaving no external trace.
With this weapon Tebaldo waited
at the church door till the maiden
he loved passed in to her marriage.
Then, ~uperceived, he sent the slender
needle into the breast of the. BRIDE
groom, who, seized with O sharp
pain from an unknown cause, tainted,
was carried home and soon died,
his strange illness battling the skill
Of the physicians.
Again Tebaldo demanded the
maiden's hand, and was again re-
fused. In a few days both her par
ents died in q like mysterious manner.
Suspicion was excited, and on exam
nation of the bodies the small steel
instrument was found in the flesh.
There was universal terror; nc one
felt that his own life was secu re.
The young lady went into a con-
vent during her mourning, and after
q few months Tebaldo begged to see
and speak with her, hoping now to
bend her to his will. She, with an
instructive horror of this mnn, who
hadfrom the first been displeasing
to her, returned a decisive negative;
whereupon Tebaldo contrived to
wound her through the CRATE. On
returning to her room she felt q pain
in her breast and discovered a single
drop of blood. Surgeons were hasti-
" summoned. Taught by the past,
they cut into the wounded part, ex-
tracted the needle and saved her life.
Tebaldo was suspected, his house
was searched, the key discovered and
he persisted on the gallows.
There is a tradition that Duke
Francis Of Padua had q poisoned
key of a similar character, which I'M
locked his private library. When he
desired to rid himself of an obnoxi-
Gus member of his household or suite
be would send him to bring a. certain
volume from his book case. AS the
key was turned in the lock out shot
q poisoned needle, stabbed the hand
Of the holder and instantly shot back
again. Examination of the hand re-
vealed only a small, dark blue spot,
but in a few moments the person
grew strangely giddy, and would be
found on the floor, apparently in q
ct. In twenty-four hours he would
be dead, and a verdict rendered.

STATE FAIR GLORlEs.

In the history and romance of the
Mexican border there is nothing more
attractive as brilliant figure than the
vaquero, his horse, and the wild steers
of the plains. In his pristine glory he
will be at the state fair this year. Add
to this attraction thousand head of
blooded horses and cattle; sheep and
swine; the multiform products Of the
farm and mandatory, and you have a
glorious display. There will be each
day series of ,Trotting apd Running
races, with $4,000 in purses offered for
the winners. The State National
Guard, under arms and in camp, will
give the marvellous drill, and also com
pete for handsome prizes offered for
drill and inspection. These prizes will
be arranged to meet the capacities Of
every company in the State. There will
be a Grand Army reception on Nation
al Guard day, and the veterans Of the
war will be feted as the honored guests
of the State Fair Association. They
will sit in the guests chair, and the
broad grounds at Hamline, with their
myriad attractions will be the old sol
diers' retreat Of JOY for day. A novel
feature, and one calculated to arouse
deep interest. will be the contest of
horse-shoers OF the state for valuable
prizes. There is not a horseshoer at his
forge who will not feel the thrill of
competition in his blood when he learns
that at the State Fair he can honestly
wage his skill in shoeing the noble horse
and win a handsome prize. On Sept.
l1th the Grand Producers and Indust-
rial Parade of 1883 will be repeated be-
fore the grand stand with all the tri-
umphs of Ceres and the Mechanics and
the herds of she fields in line. 1t will
be the longest and most varied product
parade ever carried out in the Union.
The Live Stock Barns. capacious and
clean, filled with the farmers herds Of
the Central and Western States; Mach
inery Hall qGivering with the .swhirrn
of mechanical inventions; Agricultural
Hall. yellow with the grains of tbous-
and farms; Floral Hall, sweet with
roses, lilies and the gems of the hot
house; the Art Gallery. hung with the
choicest products from the brushes of
old masters; the Main Hall with its at
fractions of trade anG focal point for
the Ladies; the Race Track, and its
equine kings; around all the. rolling
grassy slopes of the beautiful grounds
and above the tempered sky of autumn;
the fash and CLEAN Of bayonet and
sword; bright picturesqueness of the
Vaquero, and stirring strains of music
all these will form a panorama for
study and pleasure such as the State
Fair has never seen before. These are
not by any means the full list of at
fractions OF the Fair, but they show at
this early date how far the management
has gone in preparing for a mag gnifcent
popular reception in September The
Western Association of Railroads has
made a passenger rate to the Fair Of

good from Sept. 6 TO 16 inclusive.

The meat inspection law enacted at
the last session of the Legislature meets
with but small favor in the eyes Of the
Judiciary. A few weeks ago, in a case
arising at Saltwater, the law was pro-
nounced unconstitutional by the muni-
cipal judge of that city. The friends
of the measure did not regal rd this as a
very ponderous blow, and even smiled
at it with contempt. Now come Judges
Ensign and Stearns Of the District court
for the Duluth district, who, ina test
case, declare that the law infringes up
on interstate commerce rights, which
Congress alone can regulate. The
opinion of these two learned and we'll
known judges, though not conclusive,
may be accepted as virtually foreshad-
owing the final decision of the higher
court should the law be still further put
to the test, as it undoubtedly will be.
Pending the passage Of the act in the
Legislature, its unconst1tutionality was
50 pointedly and strongly urged that
even the special advocates of the mea-
sure were for a time staggered, but so
determined were they, for purely local
considerations, to carry it through,
that they contemptuously diregarded
the warning and pushed the bill through
regardless Of facts and consequences
Possibly they have now got their eyes
opened so far as to enable them to see
the extent of their selfish folly. VINO :

TRAGIC END OF IN ELoPEMENT.
Young Husband Kills His Bride and
Himself.

MACON, Ga, May s.-A special from
Albany, Ga, gives the details of hor-
rible double tragedy at that place last
night. About 10 o'clock two pistol shots
raug out in the heart of the fashionable
residence portion of the city, and when
the cause of the shots was disclosed 1t
was found that William Gilmore, a pro-
minent young man Of Albany, had shot
and killed his seventeen-year-old wife,
Fannie, and then killed himself.
Gilmore and his wife had been mar
ricd only few months, and their life
together had been an unhappy one.
Their marriage was conSummated by an
elopement made necessary by the bitter
opposition of Mrs. Wells, the mother of
Mrs. Gilmore. After the marriage, how
ever, Mrs. Wells seemingly became re-
conciled to the match, and at her request
Gilmore and his wife returned to the
home of his wife'S parents to board. In
a few weeks the troubles OF the pair be-
gan, and they finally ended in Gilmore's
leaving his wife.
Friends interested themselves in the
matter and reconciliation was effected.
This reconciliation, however, was not
permanent, and second separation
ensued a short while since. Soon after
the second separation young men began
to call on Mrs. Gilmore. twas sup
posed that this was the immediate calse
of the tragedy, for day or two ago
Giimor was heard to say that if he could
not have Fannie no one else should.
Last evening he paid what debts he
owed in Albany. purchased 3S-calibre
pistol, called at the Office of his wlfe's
father and obtained his permission to
call on Mrs. Gilmore during the evening.
About 9:30 O'Clock he called and was re-
ceived by Mrs Gilmore in the parlor.
What passed between the pair will never
be known, but about 10 o'clock Mrs.
Wells, the mother of Mrs. Gilmore, who
was sitting near the parlor, heard shot
ring out She screamed, What was
that" Gilmore replied: THAT was for
my beloved, and this is for me- imme-
diately firing a bullet into his brain.
When the mother. in-law rushed into the
room the two unfortunateS were IN the
agonies of death.
The double funeral occurred this even,
ing and was largely attended, as hus-
band and wife were very popular IN Al
bany.
