oaina the best wurkiuan in the establish
ment uf the famous watch and cluck
mal'er, lircguet. Ou the suviugs uf bis
campaigns and his good wages lie amass
ed sufficient capital to set up fur him
self in his native city, where lie married
a beautiful and popular woman uf bur- i
geois society.
The Mcrcerons lived in luxury and
peace. The store made mouey, and ,
was richly Rlouked. It was famous for
pussesing mine of the tiuest jewelry iu
Marseilles in its aafes.
Monsieur Mcrceron was an easy-going ,
man, fond of his wine of an evening, but
no great pleasure-seeker, liis wife was |
of cayer nature, and as he possessed per- |
feet confidence in her, he opposed uu j
barrier to her social movements. The
result was that she went much abroad
and her beauty made many conquests. j
She was in the habit of joking with
her husband over these. The perfect!
accord in which they lived rendered it
iw.ssible for them to laugh together at J
the futile attempts of the roues of tke
city to destroy their happinesss.
Oue evening Mine. Mcrceron, return
iag from a stroll iu the park, presented
tu her husband the following note, wh'c i
had bceu slipped in her baud by a man
whose facu she remembered to have seen
| ou various occasions, but whose uiiuo
| was uukuuwii to her :
«>I>EAHKMT llmuilT KI'ES : The mad
ness of adulation which agitates me is
irrepressible. Vou must satisfy it or
destroy me. Address me at the tobac
co shop of the Green Sailor, iu the Hue
Latouse.
"Kvcr your burning FHBDKRIC."
Mcrceron preserved this extravagant
epistle aud read it to some uf his crunies
at tbo wine shop. Oue of them suggest
ed that it would be a joke to open a cor
respondence with the ardent Frederic.
This was accordingly done, a young
clerk writing the lettere iu a feminine
hand, at Mcrcerou's dictation. They
described the watchmaker as a most iu
fornal brute, aud bis wife's lot as a most
unhappy one. Tbe result was that
Frederick advancod to proposing au
elopement with his suppositious inamo
rata, and in doing so gave liis name.
This led to the discovery that he was
one, Frederick (Jagniot, aged tweuty
six, and born at Saint-Naxaire, au ex
convict, who had served fo'ir years iu i
jai! for robbery of a jeweler's shop.
The idea of a love affair between his
wife and such a rogue was too absurd
for Mcrceron. He appointed a meeting
with the duped lover for the evening of
Juue loth, 1882 when be proposed,
with the aid of some of his friends, to
teaeli hiui a lessou in the value of clubs
as lovo destroyers.
On the moruiug of Junu 15th, a young
man called at Merccron's store and ex
amined his stock of diamondi. Mmc.
Merceron, who was getting ready for a
trip into the country, said after he went
out without buying auything :
"Upon my word, Gabriel, I believe
that is the foolish fellow who put that
letter in toy hand in the park."
"Is it, iudeod," leplicd her husband,
chuckling to think of the surprise iu
store for his visitor. Mine. Merccron,
to whom he had told nothing of his lit
tle plot, intending to give her a good
laugh out of it after all was over, went
off aod left him alone in the «hop, the
cook being on a visit, and her own maid
going with her. The last she saw of
Mcrcoron was at noos, eating the eold
lunch prepared for him on tbo counter,
while sbo went by in a carriage with
some friends.
At 5 o'clock iu the afternoon a serv
ant from some swell customer called to
reclaim a watch which had been left for
Merccron to repair. At ber first step
iuto tbe shop the woman recoiled with
a cry of horror. The coipse of thu
jewelor was stretched upon the Hour iu
the rear, bin body stabbed with forty
one stabs.
The shop bad bceu rifled, the safes
emptied of their most V*IM*M»
may be understood from the fact that it
must linve been committed at 1 o'clock
in the afternoon, in a shop with a glass
front which was without curtains, and
wUoee door was unlocked to a street
alive with paseers by. The promptness
of the assassin in accomplishing his
1 crime, had only been equalled by his
j coolness* in appropriating its spoil in
' full view of the populous thorough
' Tare.
While the police were iavestigating,
| Mmc. Mirceron return A wo
-1 m.-ni of g.-eat decision aim energy, the
I desire to avenge IIT husband immedi
ately became paramount with her. Sin
gularly euough, however, she eutcrtaiued
no suspiuion of her "mash," and even
' forgot his visit to the store on that fatal
morning. Neither did the dead man's
cronies, who were acquainted with his
' plot, hold any suspicion of its victim.
| Operating on several false clews the
polico rpent a week without tangible re
! suit. Then a local jeweler reported
that a man had attempted to sell him a
watch and pin which had, he thought,
| formed part of Merccron's stuck. The
description of this individual tallied with
j that of the man who received his corrcs
j pondcDce at the Green Sailor, and he
was arrested at his house. There such
j discoveries were made as left no doubt
lof his criminality. The [dace contained
1 scores of tlie objects stolen from the
' murdered jeweler's stock.
: Gagniot denied his guilt vehemently,
!at first. Finally, when lie found lies of
no avail, lie Baid :
"Very well. 1 did it then, but not
! for myself alone."
I "For whom Uien ?"
"For Mine. Merccron. She ought to
be ashamed of herself for persecuting
I me because 1 put her husband out ol
! the way in order to aid her to flee from
bis brutalities."
I'pon this astounding declaration the
widow was arrested as an accomplice.
| Iler amazement was equal to that of the
I public. Tne wildest wore afloat
I aud she was beginning to be regarded as
j a moiuter of hypocrisy, dnplieitv and
j vice, when the wine shop coterie came,
I to tbo front and the mystery of the fatal
hoax was a mystery no longer.
It was as the assassin had asserted.
Pool Mcrcoron in layiug his little plot
to amuse himself at bis expense, had
deliberately planned his own death. The
young scoundrel having, as he supposed
arranged fur the elopement of the ob
j ject of his passion, had to provide liiui
| self with means to carry her off. The
idea struck him as eminently romantic
to make the husband be hoped to de
ceive foot the bills for bis owu deception,
lie laid bis plans well. The morning
i visit to the shop showed him the lay of
| the land. The afternoon afforded hiui
j the opportunity to carry Ins plot out.
Ilaviug made sure of his movements,
j be had boldly walked iuto tbe storo and
told Mercerou be had coucluded to buv
I a certain brooch which he bad examiued
' that morning, and which he had seen
the jeweler return to tbe lower draw iu
| a sate in the dusky rear of the shop. As
; the victim stooped to get the bauble out,
bis murderer stubbed in tho baek. lie
fell, and the asassin then transfixed him
> again aud again with his murderous
II blade.
I Having accomplished bis sanguinary
work, Gagniot bad coolly gone to the
' trystiug place, and there, with her lius
: baud's blood on his hands und his prop
i ; erty iu bis pockets, had awaited the
coming of his expected sweetheart. He
! ascribed her failure to keep her appoiut
' meut to tbe excitement consequent on
: the murder, aud that night wrote the
| following letter, which was afterward
, I found at tlie place where the practical
i jokers bad been receiving the corres
>: pondence which had been sealed in
I blood :
I "SWEETEST HAHI.EV Sun.wt STICK :
1 waited, consumed by desire, but 1 for

' : c*t is away, so let my sweetest little

, j who to adores her."
i The ardeut lover was sentenced to
. death. He would not beleive but that
, his eorrespoudonee had been authentic,
and on receiving his sentence rolled liis
eyes, raised his hands to heaven, and
, cried :
, "Oh, God, who is so good, ouly see
what women are, aud fclill you receive
tbeni in heaven."

Mr. O. W. Hugtilay, iu a letter to
the Atlanta Constitution, writes :
1 had long wished for a grass which
would sod and bo profitable as a grass
i let and for bay. The prejudice exist- ,
ing everywhere against ltermuda grass 1
has prevented tests being made with it.
It is the popular opinion that once ou I
a I'ariu you caunot destroy or cuutrol it.
I agree that it caunot be profitably des- j
troyd (peither w'di you want tovlatlriy
it after you leam its value), but it cau j
be eontrollod in twu ways ou almost ov- j
ery farm. Who is there who does uot own
a few acres of land surruunded by pub- i
lie roads, a small creek or a piece uf:
woodland It will not cross either of ;
these uor seed, aud bcucc it cannot be 1
i carried by birds or stock. Again, land
cultivated, say plowed fuur or live times
annually, can never sod u ith liermuda
grass, although there may be some scat- ;
tercd all over it. It will not be more I
than the crab grass and poverty weeds, |
which, like licrinuda grass, have never
been destroyed. Once sodden, the work
is done for one hundred years. The
grazing and hay continue to improve as ;
tbe sod thickens and the becomes rich- j
er which it will do every year. It is I
better to have some uplands, especially '
if you have a creek bottom you are afraid
to cultivate, aud hence cannot be utilized
oft aecuunt of the overflows washing
away the newly plowed soil, liy liav- 1
ing bottoms aud uplands you have graze
ing ill wet and dry seasons. Such a
piece of land is worth more iu liermuda
grass than if plumed iu corn. The sod
is so tough it is never so wet but that
you can turn stock on it. Ileuce you !
save niueli by grazing your pluw stuck !
on wet days, llories, cows, sheep aud
hogs arc all equally fouud ot* it, und it i
is sufiicieutly nutritive to fatten thciu
when not at work. It comes up as ear- [
ly as any grass in the spriug. Vou l
i cau graze it till winter or uutil your 1
; harvest field.- are open, then take the
i stock off and in ow it for hay in the fall
for winter fio l, or if tho lauds are rich j
!, it will grow up till after frost, and cat- |
tie aud mules will subsist on it (the dry
grass) all the winter aud spring, after :
they have eaten the other pastures j
; OUt.
1 would like to inquire through your
paper buw fur south liermuda grass will i
grow successfully. It appears to me
that if it is sodded ou the low, rich lands j
' below the frost line, say in south Geor- j
gia i'4id Florida, it would grow aud keep
green fur gruzitig all the year round, j
There is no better feed for stock which j
is not at labor, aud a iuule grazed on it
: at night will keep fat on une square
meal of cum at noun. 1 du believe \
i that liermuda grass is wurth as uiuch
for stock-raising in Georgia and Flurida, i
if it will grow, as the blue grass is iu
Kentucky. Auy farmer can find some
piece of laDd so surrounded that he cau ;
contrul it. Lot every farmer try oue or
i two acres, and they will soon sod uiore.
l'ut it on good bottom or rich uplands.
Indians Trndlnff.
A correspondent, writing from one '
i' of the trading posts in British America,
says: I watched some Indians shopping
and was astonished to see how invaria- '
bly they waved aside inferior and chose '
- such material as morinos at $1.50 to |
• a yard. One of the merchants told 1
' me it was useless to offer them anything '
i but the best. An Indian, who could Aut '
■ speak English or French, and wanted !
i live things, divided his idea of their rel- j
' ativc cost in li'tlo pile son the counter, j
I and going through a pantomime descrip- j
1 tive of his wants, was handed some silk
handkerchiefs. Taking one he felt it, :
i held it up tn the light, and throwing it {
aside, shook his head vigorously, utter
ing an "IJgli"' ofdiagust. When shown '
a better ono lie was doubtful, but upon
a much superior articlo being produced
be took it, and willingly handed over
one pilo for it. This, however, was too i
much, and when given the ebange he
put it in one of the other piles and pro
ceeded in the same way to make the !
' rest of his purchases How easily they
could be cheated." I said to (he clerk
• after tlie Indian had loft. "No," be I
replied, "not so easily as it would ap" I
pear." They generally ooinc from
their camps in great numbers once a
1 year to «e!l furs and make purchases
1 Tbay go to different shops, and on their
re tarn compare notes as to the cost and
' quality of their pood. ft.—. "

We think it in about tiuie to call tlie
attention of the people of North Caro
lina to the fact that in the (southwestern
curlier of the National Cemetery enclo
, sure at Arlington—en. Lee's former

| the remains of many Noith Carolina
soldiers whose graves are each "orua
j inentod" with a rod painted bead-board
on wh'eji is inscribed*tlw word"Rjbal '
Sometimes the nuuieisgiveu, sometimes
| only the regiment ami company. We
do not know of any other cemetery where
| this is the case, although it is possible
that there may be such. Our dead who
: are buried outside of the limits of what
I were the Confederate States, lie gener
ally in unmarked graves and therefore
could not bo identified in auy way, and
i must remain where their reiiiaius arc; but
|we think that, while we are exulting in
| the rapidly advancing prosperity of our
| State and boasting of the development of
j our wonderful resources, we might devote
a little t'uue and a few dollars to the
task of gathering the bones of those
brave boys who gave up their lives lor
j their State, and who arc thus stigmatized
j even in death, and of bringing tlicui
j back to rest iu the soil they loved so
well. The younger generation who have
grown up since the war cannot be expec
ted to feel the sauie inteiest iu such
| things as those of us who wore grey un
iforms, but it is cruel neglect of a sacred
duty, and a reproach to the State to
permit her dead soldiers to lie not ouly
! in neglected but dishonored graves, when
those graves are knowu and when the
! expense of their removal would be tri
, fling. They must be removed ns soon

iat l'cscadcro between a jack weighing i
i.nj pounds and a grizzly bear of the '
same weight. The jack is owued by
a man named Ipse, and is a vicious
i brute. A man named Black, a raiser!
of blooded cattle in that neighborhood,
j had beeu troubled for several weeks by '
the visits of a grizzly, which killed and
j carried off a calf, a«d all his efforts to !
| capture the boar had been unavailing.
| Finally he advertised in several papers J
of the State, offering SSO to any person j
who would kill the bear. Ipse read the
i offer and resolved to take his jack to the
| corral and see what the ro.su 11 would Lw.
I Accordingly, the jack was duly install
ed. Iu tfie night along came grizzjy, and
scciug the jack, and fancying a change
of diet, he made an attack upon him:
but as no one suw the light it is only
' supposed that Hruin made the first
■ overture. Anyway, next morning when
■ the corral was visited Bruin lay Ntark
and doad and the jack was ijuietly feed
ing off the pile of hay. Au inspection
| of biiu disclosed the tact that his breast
and sides were fearfully lacerated by ll»e
bear's claws, and one of his fore legs
was dislocated. Hut Bruin was "all
broke up." lie had his lower jaw sm:uh
ud to pieces, all of his ribs on the port
{ side were stove in, and one of his fore
legs was fractured at the shoulder. He
was generaly smashed all over. Ipse
naturally claimed the reward of SSO,
I but liluck refuwd to pay it, claiming
, that the jack was not a person, and thcre
j fore out entitled to the reward. All
i IjWs argument failing he resolved to 1
have recourse to law, and accordingly ;
. suit ha* beeu brought— San I'lomistto '

IloffN Early Maturity
j There is no profit in keeping a hog j
until it is over 18 months old, and al
! though such an animal may possibly |
I reach the weight of 400 pounds, the
heavy weight will not compensate for
the food consumed. A pig farrowed iu
April and slaughtered about Christmas
will more than return his cost, for it
' mnst be taken into consideration that
during that period he will be but a pig,!
and the earlier feedings small iu quantf? J
ty. He should weigh 250 pounds when j
killed, especially if a grade Essex or
Berkshire, and the carcass will contain a |
j fair admixture of lean and fat Veryl
j large hogs are very often fit only for [

A Tariff far ReveaM Oalf"
We received soute days ago a leltep
from a "Young Header," who wished
us to explain the meaning of the pbrasa
'a tariff for revenue only,' and this is
| perhaps as good a time as any to give
. him and the Kentucky Democrats, to
called, the enlightenment they ueed. A
tariff is a tax. There are many ways of
ievying taxes, and to exact a duty on tho
importation of goods into a country
j is one of these ways. The importer pays
this lax in the first instance, but Iw
tikes eare, of course, to got it back from
the consumers of the goods, because he
adds it to the price, just us he also adds
freight, insurance, commissions and oth
er charges.
A tariff, then, is a fax, and the
phrase in question means, therefore,
simply 'a tax for revenue only.' Now
j let the 'Youug Reader' ask himself for
what purposes a government ought to or
j can rightly lay a tax. To levy a tax
I is to exact a contribution from an in
dividual; to take a |m* of his earning
or property by irreoistible force. It is
j plain enough that tftlteUoverauMnt takes
1 from us part of ultat we have honestly
acquired by labor and skill it ought to
take as little as possible, and ought to
take only what is absolutely needed to
aupport tho government and pay its law
ful obligations. Revenues of the govern,
ment can be houestly and properly ap->
pliod only to such purposes. Hence *
tax or tariff should of course be 'for rev
enue only,'and that is what the Ken
tucky Democrats ought to have a&id in
plain words.
Nobody likes to p*y taxes, hut wbe*
| they are levied fur the aupport of UM
Government every good citixeu part*
with a share uf his earnings or property
as u matter of duty, though uot ofplcas>
nrc. Hut if a citizen were opeuly asked
to pay ten dollars m taxes, half to go
j to the Government aud half to sow*
private person or corporation, h* would
have a right to grumble; for wby should
he pay his substance to enrich or bunt
tit mine other person' That would b*
plainly uujust, aud because this is so

I conscious of tbo essential injustice and
j favoritism of the system of taxation
which thoy advocate, therefore they ery
