THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
Most Highly Prixed of the Surviving
 Orders of Chivalry.

Most Highly Prixed of the Surviving Orders of Chivalry.
 Of all the orders of mediaeval chiy- airy which have survived the shock of successive revolutions on the continent of Europe since the great cataclysm Of 17S9, that of the Golden Fleece is per haps the most distinguished and the most highly coveted by personages of royal birth or of illustrious patrician lineage.
 The badge of the order is the figure of a sheep in embossed gold suspend ed from heavy chain of gold. The full robes consist of long mantle of crimson velvet, cut in the fashion of sacerdotal cope, richly embroidered at the borders with emblematic devices of stars, half moons and fleeces in gold and lined with white satin, over . doublet and hose of crimson damask. The full robes also comprise "chap- sson," or hood, with long flowing streamer of black satin, but this head gear has in modern times been gen orally dispensed with.
 Originally the robes of the order. which was founded in 1429 by Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy. were of crimson cloth lined with white lambs wool, and this circumstance has some what strengthened the theory that the golden fleece was instituted by >vhilip the Good in grateful recognition of the immense treasures which the Duke of Burgundy had acquired from the wool of the hocks reared on his vast estates in Flanders. Be 1t as it may, the woolen costume was changed In 1473 at chapter held at Valenclennes for the more costly materials of vel. vet, taffeta. damask and gold embroid- ery.-London Telegraph.

keriminating Evid.nee Found Against
 Negro inlake Providence Murder

Smith and also occupied on Nednes- day night by Sam Smith, the nus hand. hatchet was found ln the nre- nJace This hatchet had a number .oi h1ood stains both on the handle ana inc blade. It had been identified as
 tba hatchet belonging to the Aston
 home \ meal sack covered With fresh blood was also found under the
 ,ronan's house, It was hidden pe-
 ,r,oen the sill of the house and the floor. The colored woman denies the tact thai her husband was ill town "eo- nesdav night, but it is positive that he stayed at her house on that hlsh''
 The evidence so far before the pup ,;c tends to show that the woman was very likely implicated in the crime
 The community is still at high witch of excitement, but it is believed that they will submit to law and ordef
 when the guilty person IS made known.
 1udee F. X. Randsell is in town and quick trial can be had.
 Sheriff Dunn is unable to give any thing more than what has been men, t;oned above. It is very likely that Tho coroner's jury will consume an other day in their investigation. Ab' so1utely nothing can be learned from them up to this time, and it is believ' ed that they have very strong evl- aerce against at least one negro and fearing violence, they have been con
 ducting their examination ill pfi' vate.
