Earning a Reward.

A certain Bonelli, singled out by fate
to display to the world the utter insignif-
canoe of human resolve, being regarded by
the whole province in which he lived as a
model for the rest of mankind, according
to the view Of human virtue taken at Bo-
cognano, Is the hero Of the tale. This
man, on being told that q heavy reward
had been offered for the capture or ode
struction" Of the bandit Cappa, who had
become the scourge of the country, loaded
his gun, went out on the instant and shot
down the beggar Of the village, who was
known to pass through lonely path at a
certain hour of the day. He then set fire
to the corpse Of the beggar and went to
the authorities to claim the reward, but
even before he had touched the blood
money thus earned the bandit Cappa him.
self appeared, and forthwith the judges,
seance tenante, pronounced judgment
against Bonelli. All this has just taken
place in Corsica. The jury condemned
the traitor Bonelli to the guillotine for the
murder of the poor mendicant, who had
been much beloved throughout tho whole
country. ry.-Birmingham (England) Post.

A Fake Death.

An extraordinary case was reported by O
DR.. Cheyne toward the close OF the last
oentury-that Of q Colonel Townshend.
This gentleman visited Bath to drink the
waters and informed DIR. Cheyne and other
physicians that he could counterfeit death
at will. The colonel readily consented to
make the experiment, and so, with three
doctors in attendance, ho laid himself on
couch. His pulse grew thready and
small and finally stopped; his breathing
ceased, and when the apothecary, one Mr..
Skrine, held glass to his mouth the sur
face was not dlmmed. The worthy physi-
clan who tells the story says that himself
and his colleagues thought the colonel had
really given up the ghost. But the pulse
began to revive, the breathing became es.
tablished, and soon the colonel sat up and
oonversed. The sequel to this narration is
curious enough in its way. Colonel
Townshend died shortly afterward at
Bath, but his body was found to be free
from any traces of disease or other condi-
tion such as might explain the power he
possessed over his heart and lungs

SHOT THEOUGH the LUNG.

Negro Youth.


a negro youth about nineteen years OF
age, giving his name as Mortie Whar-
ton. was shot through the lung and
probably fatally wounded yesterday
about noon by 4. &. Green, q Henrico
county policeman.
The shooting took place Just back of
the Exposition Grounds. near the water
tank of the Richmond. Fredericksburg

was then walking along the field and
saw the negro. The officer had been on
the lookout for some esc1red convicts.

which the negro al first did. and then
started 10 run. Green called TO him again
10 stop, but Wharf II ran all the faster.
Then the policeman drew his revolver

distance from the policeman but the
bullet took effect in the right side OF

commenced TO groan and blood flowed

was taken to the Almshouse. and every
thing possible done for his comfort. No
effort has yet been made to probe for
the bullet. Wharton was I'm a critical
condition last night at a late hour. and
Or. Lyme was unable to say whether
he had any fair chances for recovery.
1t is thought that 10 blame is attached
to Policeman Green. as he evidently
had no malicious intent when he fired
al the negro. Wharton stated that he
did not halt when commanded TO do
so. for the reason that he had been in
a fight in Richmond with another negro.
and when the policeman ordered him
to stop he thought he would be arrested
for that.
