RAYSELL, La, March 1.-THE dead

found hanging to tree on the outskirts
of this place yesterday. The girl had
been employed as waitress and kitchen
girl by w. II. Aelmer who owns the
Greenwell plantation. twenty miles from
the county seat. Last Friday morning all
the members of the family, niue i'm num-
Der, became violently i'll shortly after
breakfast, and showed unmistakable
signs of poisoning. Suspicion fell on the
girl, Ella, who had often displayed bad
temper, and being taxed with the crime,
she confessed IL.
1t seems that a colored man who was
employed around the stables of the plan
tation had in some manner offended her,
and she determined upon revenge. She
poured a quantity of yermin poison into
the coffee pot, and all the inmates drank
the coffee.
The girl was locked up, and yesterday
afternoon two neighbors of the Helme
family started for Rayville. the county
seat, TO take her To Jail. In the meantime
exaggerated reports of the attempted
poisoning had spread through the country
round and greatly excited the residents
On the way TO the Jail the prisoner and

The Wandering stones.

Near the little village OF San Jose, Peru,
on the shores Of the great lake, Titcaca--
the loftiest body OF water in the Americas
are three large pillars of stone. They
are OF unequal height and shape, and the
black plumage and gaunt figures of the
condors which may be continually seen
perching upon them adds to the weird ef-
feet of the solitude.
On one of these huge boulders the rude
features OF human face has been cut, and
the others are carved and chiseled with
designs OF various kinds. These carved
symbols are all supposed TO have some
reference to sun-worship, which was the
known practice of the old Peruvians.
Although the ancient inhabitants OF
Peru were highly civilized, and probably
had many mechanical appliance, it II net

THE FINANCIAL NEWS.

The weeks market opens strong and
prices are being carried higher and higher,
in face of the adverse reports from the
outside markets.
American National Bank is to-day COM
manding 40 bid; the highest price for six
months and its dividend is sixty days dis

figures The ruins of the old building on
Exchange Place augur well for improve
ments, and there is no more progressive
company in the city than this trust
company, which has secured for itself
such host Of friends by its arrangements
with the Athletic Club.

HE WANTED 10 SEE.
And He Finally Found out What was
I'm the Basket.

And He Finally Found out what was
I'm the Basket.
In an elevated railway train sat tired
looking workman and with him was an
active boy Of about ten years. They were
going up town. At Chambers street a
young man with a big basket got into the
car and sat down opposite the pair. He
put the basket on the seat beside him, and
pulling newspaper from his pocket, held
il up before his face and was soon obliv-
ious to his surroundings.
The boy was restless. He was constant
ly fidgeting. The man had restrained
him several times; but chains and gag
would hardly have kept him perfectly
quiet. His eye was instantly fixed upon
the basket. He made up his mind that
there was something good inside it.
"Papa, papal" he demanded.
Hush, boy!" said the tired man, as he
leaned his head against the window,
closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
"Can't look into it, papa?"
"Don't bother me, say"
Silence followed for little time and
then:
"Say, papa, only want TO look. Can't
II"
"Look at anything you like, but don't
wake me again or I'll cuff YOU"
The boy slipped from his seat cautiously.
He kept an eye on the owner OF the basket,
but the newspaper still held him and the
coast was clear. The basket had q strong
wicker cover, which was fastened firmly
with a string. He tried to unite the
string for some time, but failing in this,
he took a jack-knife out OF his pocket
and stealthily cut the knot. Taking an
other careful look at the owner Of the
basket, the mischievous lad lifted the lid
slowly and putting his eye TO the opening,
peered in.
Then quick as fash the cover was
knocked up out OF his hand, and brown
streak shot from inside il to the top of the
boys head. The lads first cry OF surprise
was followed Immediately by shrieks OF
pain and terror. Something alive was
perched on the boys head tearing his hair
out in wisps and scratching his face and
ears till the blood ran.
The father grabbed his precious boy,
just as the owner OF the animal grabbed
the monkey from the boys head and re-
stored it to the basket.
The lad had not had much Of a look at
the monkey, but his curiosity seemed TO
be fully satisfied.-N. Y. Tribune.

A CENSUS OF DEVILS.
Authority saith that they are Numerous
and OF Unpleasant Appearance.

OF devils, Gulielmus Parisiensis has
found, on exact computation, that there
are "a ABS, $50, but ii has been said that
they vastly exceed that number. Their
external forms and internal characteristics
have been minutely described. Their
bodies are not terrestrial, but according to
the church scholsstics, something analo-
gous.
John Wier, a physician OF Cleves, con-
vinced that this world is peopled by
crowds of devils wrote in 1876, book Of
some thousand folio pages which is one of
our chief sources OF information on the
subject He makes seventy-two princes
OF devils, with 7,405, ,926 subjects. He may
have owed this information to his master,
Cornelius Agrippa. Collin de Plancy, in
his "Dictionnnire Internal" has given
pictorial illustrations to supplement
Wicr.
The figure Of devil, generally, is that
% goat with two horns in front and two
behind; but he also appears as a frog. q
fly, a donkey and spider. He assumes,
in short, every shape except that OF dove
and Of a lamb. BY Europeans he is COM
monty painted black. The Africans pre-
fer a white devil.
The old serpent, Satan, the supreme
prince Of this world, Of the powers of the
air, and OF darkness, Lucifer, the devil par
excellence, is described as great red
dragon with seven crown heads, ten horns
and huge tail. He has two deputies,
one OF the sea, having three crowns more
than his master, displayed with the body
OF Leopard, the feet OF a bear, and the
tail OF a lion, the other OF the earth

The blackbird and thrush are "wander-
