A GRIEvoUs CHARGE. = W. Nc
Waugh, well-known business man of
Lynchburg, was yesterday sent on to
to the grand jury upon the charge of

THE COST of living is so much lower
in Europe than in this country that not
only is there great falling off in the
number of immigrants, but thousands
of foreign laborers in this country are
returning to their native homes, so that
the stearage lists OF the ocean steamers
show that more laboring people are
now going to Europe than are comingt'
the United States. Then, too, labor
statistics, prepared by the most compe-
tent and disinterested men, show that
while days wages may be a little
higher in some of the protected indus
tries of this country, the product of a
days work is a great deal more here
than in Europe. And yet the protec-
tionists keep up their old threadbare
cry against the competition of foreign
"pauper labor"

Confession of an Anarchist.

BARCELONA, Dec. 23.-Jose Codina,
who has already confessed that he
threw the bomb that caused upward of
thirty deaths in the Lyceum Theatre.
says that he was selected by an an
archist group to assassinate General
Martinez de Campos, in September last.
He, in company with Pallos, had the
bomb ready to throw, but the thought
of the many innocent persons that
would suffer restrained him from
throwing it. Pallas angrily snatched
the bomb from him, saying "You're no
good" Pallas, when arrested and I'M
til his execution, insisted that he was
responsible for the attempted assassina-
ton, and he never betrayed that any
one else had anything to do with the
crime. It was this fact that made him
hero in the eyes of the anarchists.

Attemnts to influence a Jury.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-While the jurors
in the Coughlin case were proceeding
from the county building to the Revere
House yesterday after the adjournment
of the court, an attempt was made by
James E. Bowers to break through the
guard of bailitis and speak to the jurors.
The man was prevented from getting
near any of the jurors and he then
shouted: "Give them 500 each and
they'll let the poor man CO." A SINH
lar effort to talk to the jury Thursday
evening was frustrated by Bailiff New
land. The man who made the attempt
thereupon struck Newland and escaped
into the crowd.

A KNIFE THR OUCH HIS BoDY.-Mr.
Brown Lee, young man from the
country, fell out Of a two-wheeled
blackboard at Lexington yesterday, and
a large carving-knife in his overcoat
pocket was driven through the small of
his back. The ten-inch steel blade was
driven up to the hilt, the end coming
out. The man was picked up and the
knife withdrawn. The blade is badly
hacked where it came in contact with
backbone and ribs. Strange to say
the man lives and there are hopes of
his recovery. Lee was in blackboard,
a two-wheeled concern, no horse to it,
eating lunch. He overbalanced the
vehicle, and the fall followed. The
knife was in an overcoat, point up, and
wrapped only in paper.

The Night Before Christmas.

In response to many requests the follow
ing, which many believe was originally writ
ten for the GAZETTE, is published for nearly
the Tooth time.
Twas the night before Christmas, when all
through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even mouse /;
The stockings were hung by the chimney
with care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas soon would be
there;
The children were nestled all snug in their
beds,
While visions of sugar plums danced in their
heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief and l III my
cap,
Had lust settled our brains for long win
ter's nap
When out on the lawn there arose such
clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see Whist was the
matter.
AWAY to the window flew like flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen
snow
Gave lustre of midday to objects below;
When, what to my wondering eye should ap-
pear,
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein
deer,
With little old driver SO lively and quick
knew in moment it must be st. Nick.
More rapid than elgles his coursers they
came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them
by name:
."Now, Dasher now, Dancer! now, Prancer!
and Vixen!
On, Comet on, Cupid on, Donder and Bit.
zen =
To the top of the porch, to the top of the
wall
Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all y
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane
fly
When they meet with an obstacle mount to
the sky,
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full Of toys-and ST. Nicholas,
too.
And then, in twinkling, 1 heard on the
roof
The prancing and paving of each little hoof.
And drew in my head, and was turning
around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a
bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his
foot,
And his clothes were all furnished with ashes
and SCOT;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And no looked like peddler just opened his
pack.
His eyes, how they twinkled! his dimples
how merry
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like
cherry:
His droll little mouth was. drawn up like a
bow,
And tho beard on his chin was as white as
the snow.
The stump of pipe he held tight in his
teeth
And the smoke it encircled his head like a
wreath.
He had broad face and 3 little round belly
That shook when he laughed like ! bowl full
ofjely.
He was chubby and plump-a right jolly old
elf;
And laughc when I saw him, in spite of
myself.
wink of his eye, and twist Of his head,
Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread.
He spoke not word, but went straight to his
work,
And filled all the stockings then turned with
ajerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave
whistle,
And away they all aew like the down OF a
thistle,
But heard him excaim ere he drove out of
sight:
Happy Christmas to all, and to all, a good
night"

JUMPED His WINE BILL.-When
Prince Colonna, Mrs. J. W. Mackay's
son-in-law, sold the furniture of his
Paris house recently, NJ. Brossault
a wine dealer, was pressing him to pay
bill of 1850 francs for liquors. The
prince promised to pay the money in a
few days He then left Paris suddenly,
but NJ. Brossault was assured by his
agent that the money would be sent in
q week. Three weeks passed, and NJ.
Brossault again sought the agent, only
to learn that he, too, had vanished. NJ.
Brossault was indignant, as he knew
that the prince had received 100000
francs from the sale of the furniture
He applied for a writ of attachment
Thursday, and that evening a court of
fetal visited the princes house in the
Avenue du Bots de Boulogne. He
placed on the wine cellar doors the Of
cial seals, which it is a felony to break.
Other creditors of the prince are said to
have applied for writs of attachment
upon his wines. The princess also is
reported to have applied for writ, be-
cause she might be held answerable if
she allowed the wines, as assets, to be
removed from the house.

MURDERED AND BURNED.-About q
month ago the daughter of Mr.. J. II.
White, of Lynchburg, was married in
North Carolina to Mr.. Pleasant Hen
dirk, of Campbell county. They set
tied down snugly at housekeeping
about six miles from Lynchburg, near
Bacock's, and lived happily together.
Yesterday their house was q mass OF
charred ruins and the husband lies
burned to crisp, while the young wife
is frantic with grief.
The husband was murdered, and the
house burned Thursday night by four
masked men, supposed to be white
caps. The story that reached Lynch
burg is to the effect that after Mr.. and
Mrs. Hendrix had retired Thursday
night four masked men forced their
way into the house and knocked the
husband down. Mrs. Hendrix tainted
and was taken out into the yard while
the men robbed the house and set it on
fire. When the wife became conscious
the house was mass of flames.
The blaze attracted the neighbors,
but it was too late then to save
the house or recover the body, which
was found the next morning.
Mr.. Hendrix was prosperous farm
er about forty-fve years of age, and it
was not known that he had an enemy.
1t is supposed that the parties knew
that he had large sum of money in
the house.
Last night four negroes were lodg-
ed in the Lynchburg Jail charged with
the murder. One of them surrendered
voluntarily upon hearing that the au-
thorities were looking for him, stating
that he was innocent and would feel
safer in the J.ynchburg Jail than near
the scene of the murder.
