dered Mans wife Tells Nothing.

The case OF Robert Lewis, the negro
who was murdered Saturday night on

a mystery. His wife has told so many
different versions of the affair that little
attention is paid by the officers to what
she says.

committed the murder. y great many
people are inclined to think Jesse Murphy

up IN the affair, the evidence was not

heard them quarrelling first upstairs IN

WOlrlan's Taste.

A cultivated taste marks q woman OF
elegance and refinement as decidedly
as knowledge of classical literature
does a gentleman: and there il nothing
in which female vmlgarity is more
clearly shown than in want of taste.
This is an axiom that we think will
not admit of dispute; but it Is . Ques-
tion how far taste is natural, and how
far it may be acquired.
A delicate taste must. to q certain
extent. depend upon the organization
OF the individual: and it is impossible
for any rules to be laid down which
will impart taste to persons entirely
devoid of it.
But this is very seldom the case with
women, as 1t is one Of the few points
in which women naturally excel men,
Men may tie, and probably are,
superior to women in all that requires
profound thought and general know
edge: but in the arrangement of Q
house, and the introduction of orna-
mental furniture and articles Of bijou-
terie, there can be no doubt OF the in
nate supe siority of woman.
Every one must have remarked the
difference in the furnishing of q
bachelors house and one where lady
presides: the thousand little elegancies

selves. adding, like ciphers, pro-
