CLAYTON'S MURDER.
The Dead Mans Brother Accuses Demo-
cratic Politicians Of the Crime.

W. H. H. Clayton, United States district at
torney for Western Arkansas and brother of
John NJ. Clayton in his testimony at Little
Rock yesterday accused Deputy Sheriff Bentley
and Bob Pate of the murder of his brother. He
said Bentley came to Mrs. McCraven's house in
Plummersvile, where his brother was killed,
and he questioned him about the deed. Bent
ley said he suspected the murderers were in
the town, but would take no steps to find them
To a question he said the sheriff was engaged
in more important business, ie., collecting
taxes in the northern part of the county. Mrs.
McCraven presented a bill of $50 for the dam
age to her carpet from blood. Judge Clayton
then learned that his brothers body had lain
all night where it had fallen. Clayton said to
Bentley that the murderers would be found out
At this Bentley threw up his hands and said:
III swear to God i didn't kill your brother"
few minutes later he again said he didn't do
it and began to cry. Judge Clayton said he be-
lieved twenty-five or thirty political leaders in
Conway county are implicated in the murder.
Addressing Major Breckenridge he said:
when l entered the court room and saw Sit
ting on your right o. T. Bently and to your left
Bob Pate, the two men suspected OF assassinat-
ing my brother, and you frequently whispering
in their ears. was compelled to believe that
the interest you have seemingly manifested in
the capture of the assassins was very in
sincere"
do you convict every man who is charged
with crime?" replied Major Breckenridge.

Criminal Court Business Today.

In the Criminal Court Chief Justice Bing-
ham, this morning Edward L. McClelland was
arraigned and plead not guilty to the indict-
ment charging him with granddaughter. The
charge is that on the Goth of January last he
shot and inflicted four wounds on John H.
Benton, causing his death. Mr.. C. Maurice
Smith appears for the defendant.
The recogniZance in the case of Lee Grand
T. Smaley, charged with the embezzlement of
S65 from J. T. Varnell 4 Sons on February 3
last, WAS forfeited.
In the cases of the District against Gallagher,
/ Mehler. Winfield, Thompson and Others which
were appealed from the Police Court and sent
back because the fees were not paid and the
cases docketed the chief justice denied the
motions to rescini the orders remanding the
cases. The court said the rule to file the ap-
peal in five days and have the case docketed in
ten days was a reasonable one i'll the interest
of prompt trials of the cases, and he had con-
ferred with his colleagues in the General Term
and they concurred with him.

Marriages in India.

The Bombay Government have under
taken little fatherly legislation in be-
half of some of the Hindoo castles as re-
CARDS their marriage ceremonies. Mar
rage is the occasion of the heaviest ex-
penditure in the life of the natives, and
many of them become so indebted to
local money-lenders for their feasts, that
they never recover their freedom again.
Ahmedabad and Kaira are the districts
selected for the new regulations, which
are so precise that the brides father, at
the betrothal, is not to give present
worth more than rupee, and some betel-
nuts, to the bridegroom's father AT
the marriage the present is not to exceed
Il hundred rupees. The cocoanuts given
at the procession must not have cost more
than ten rupees; nor the offering of the
brides mother. When the bridegroom
touches his mother-in-law's dress only
two rupees are to be shed. There are
only to be five dinner parties, with guests

One of the Nicest of Entrees.

One of the most delicious of the
many dishes which French chefs serve
in perfection is the timbale. This may
be sweet dish, but is usually an
entree-a ragout served in paste. 1t
may be large dish, but it is not the
large timbale which is treated here,
but the petite timbales" which are
cooked in little dariole molds or tin
cups with straight sides the size of
wine glasses.
Many chefs use a simple paste, such
as is used for pies; small macaroni or
spaghetti is also used; but the most
delicious timbales of all are those made
with paste of the raw breast Of
chickens, with bread, and the white Of
eggs and cream. An excellent recipe
for this elaborate preparation may be
found in Miss Parloa's Kitchen Com
panion." A simple rule is to line Lit.
tie dariole molds with fine, short, pie
crust, cut into squares a raw piece OF
fillet of veal weighing about pound
and half; pound it to paste, add
five or six chicken ivers, if you have
them, if not, two large ones will do
nicely. Fry the livers in a little but
ter, add them to the veal, and pound
the whole till it is a well-mixed paste

Juvenile Depravity.

Juvenile precocity is remarkable in
the suicidal direction, as statistics have
proved, and as has just been illustrated
in Paris by the act of boy of twelve,
who has deliberately killed himself from
broken heart. The cause of the child
ish grief was, moreover, in itself a strange
one. The lad, it seems, took rope and
hanged himself in his bedroom for love,
his sweetheart being a girl of ten. Her
mother, for some reason, had forbidden
the boy to play any more with the little
girl, a neighbor's daughter, limiting that
if he disobeyed he would receive a severe
whipping, The child began to cry and
sob, declaring that he could not live
without the society of his little friend ;
but no importance was attached to his
words. During the night, however, that
followed this bitter day in the existence
of the youthful jules, he put an end to
his life, previously writing letter to
his girl friend bidding her an affection
ate farewell, and telling her that, though
parted in this world, they would be sure
to meet again in heaven. When the lit
tie girl is grown up and married, she will
surely keep in corner of her heart a
tender recollection of her twelve-year old
lover. = London Standard.

add three tablespoonfuls rich gravy.
Ruh the veal nasta throunh q

add three tablespoonful rich gravy.
Rub the veal paste through a
sieve, add quarter of pound of ham
cut in dice, season the mixture with
salt, pepper and few drops of onion
juice; add little rich sauce-only
enough to prevent the mixture becom-
ing dry. Fill the buttered timbale
molds and let them bake twenty-five
minutes. At the end of this time re-
move them from the oven, turn them
out on a platter, and serve them with
nice brown mushroom sauce.
This recipe is excellent with maca-
roni substituted for the paste. Select
long strips of macaroni (do not break
them) boil them in water ten minutes
to soften them; begin at the bottom of
the timbale molds and line them with
the macaroni, curving it around to fit
the bottom and sides. AS soon as the
timbale molds are lined with the
macaroni, mask it with little of the
veal mixture mixed with the white of
raw egg; then fill the timbales with
the mixture. Truffies and bits of
tongue cut in ornamental pieces are
frequently used to decorate timbales.
These little dainty entrees are as often
served without sauce on a napkin as
in any way

thick bark is uniniured. "The Chin
ney" is tree about s feet in diameter
and 15O feet in height, that has been
burnt out completely in the center to
the height of hundred feet, and Is
still green and fresh, with foliage high
up in the air. The bark of these trees
is very thick, specimens being shown
that are from 10 to 80 inches in thick
ness.
Everything about the trees is on a
grand scale except the cones, and these
are ridiculously small in comparison to
the tree they grow on. The seeds con-
tanned in these cones are only about
t-inch in diameter, and quite thin.
The young trees (seedlings) spring
up quite thickly, but are almost all
killed out by dry weather. fires, and
overcrowding. The wood is in great
demand, and almost everywhere in the
redwood forests the saw and ak are
busy telling these magnificent and
unique giants of the forest. IF. L..

A Remedy for DIphtheria.

The following remedy is said to be the
best known, at least it is worth trying,
for physicians seem powerless TO cope
with the disease successfully. AT the
first indication of diphtheria in the
throat of child make the room close;
then take a tin cup and pour into it a
quantity of tar and turpentine, equal
parts. Then hold the cup over a fire so
as to fill the room with fumes. The
little patient, on inhaling the fumes, will
cough up and spit out all the mem
branous matter, and the diphthcria will
pass off. The fumes of the tar and tur-
pentine loosen the matter in the throat,
and thus afford relief that las batfled the
skill of physicians. : Scientific Ameri-
