Tuesday, April IS, 1871. tF Fighting still continues between the French Republican authorities, and the Revolutionists. The outbreak nccnis to be entirely confined to Paris. fisSTAnian at Marlboro, Mass., recent ly shot five bullets from an Aliens pistol into different portions of his body for tho purpoti)f committing suicide, but as he still lived, lie reloaded and shot two more, orio into his ear and tho other near his heart, when he fainted away from loss of blood. The most, curious part of tho story is that ho has a pronpect of recov ery. fcay Cullen, who said ho had rather rot in prison than pay the lino imposed by Judpe Ludlow, fur refusing to servo on the jury with a colored juror, has recon sidered his rash determination and paid the line. His council had previously at tempted to liberate his client by a writ of halens corpim beforo Judfio Sharswood, but failed, that judge deciding that he had no jurisdiction. S5 A firo commenced in the, woods near Franklin, between four and five o'clock ou Monday afternoon. It soon obtained such headway that it could not be checked. A large force of men were employed on Patchell's llun, who succeed ed in keeping tho flames from the numer ous oil wells. Tho lire continued to burn with groat intensity all night, extending back into the country several miles, de stroying a large amount of valuable tim ber. The fire had not been checked, on Wednesday last.. US' Forsyth, . Georgia, can claim tho champion Jraud. Finding himself bad off for his regular . invigorator, ho put a gallon of water in a two gallon demijohn, and presenting himself at the grocery asked for a gallon of whiskey. It was duly enclosed in tho demijohn, but of course there was no trust and the liquor had to be returned. A gallon was poured out and the fraud went on his way rejoic ing in the possession of a gallon of good grog. He turned up drunk nn hour after. JiqF The Christiansburg, Va., Messen ger, says a very large wolf made his ap pearanco a few days ago in the neighbor hood of Copper Hill, in Floyd couuty, and that a party of 13 men, with 18 dogs, went iu pursuit of him. lie was shot at seven or eight times, but without effect, and finally made good his escape. One man of the party, when they came in shooting distanco oi the wolf, became so much alarmed at his sizo and ferocious appearance that he climbed up into a tree, from which he fell breaking , two of - his "to- if' . . , - - - JKsyOn the J 2th inst., a young Ger man woman applied for work at a Chi cago restaurant, and was employed About midnight sho went to bed in an upper room with tho hired help. Soon after loud screams were heard from tho roof. Tho proprietor rushed up and found the girl on tho floor almost uncon scious, and bleeding profusely. Au ex amination showed that she had been stub bed four times once in the thigh, once iu the arm, and twice in tho head. Sho could give no explanation of the affair, and did not know how it was done or who committed tho deed. The other inmates of the room were equally ignorant. The whole affair is a great mystery. VeST Whitewater, Wis., was the scene, recently of a melancholy tragedy, most startling in its character, A lady who had been sick for some time Mrs. Win. Foster by name expired at tho residence of her futhcr, Mr. S. Clark, a resident of that village. As she breathed her last, hor husband, who was by the bedside, drew a pistol, and.aiming at his own heart, fired. The ball missed the vital organ, but penetrated the lung, aud the wound ed man full across tho , body of his dead wife. L As might have been expected, tho ut most consternation prevailed amoug those present at an event so appalling. The next morning Mr. , Foster was living, but little hopes were entertained of his recovery. No cause can be assigned for this terrible deed, except that be de termined not to survive the death of his wife, to whom be was most devotedly at tached. It is said that his health has been quite poor of late, and his mind much depressed over the illness of her whose spirit has just taken it fliSut' Peculiarity of Sigiiatnrcn. S. S. Packard, noted as a skilled pen man, writes to tho New York Mail con cerning " signature experts," theoccasion being tho lute "Taylor will caso," which turned in great measure on tho genuine ness of tho tcstutor's signature. More than twenty years ago, in Cincinnati, I copied tho Declaration of Independence appending fuc timilic of tho signers' names. Mr. Thomas Stevens, at that time editor of tho Cincinnati Atlas, took occasion iu a pleasant way to doubt my assertion that I had copied the signatures with a pen. To convince him I asked him to sign his namo on a sheet of paper, which he did. I immediately wrote ten copies of his signature, above and below tho origi nal, and handed him tho paper for him to select his own. After a careful exam ination ho selected one as his owu. IIo was wrong. He tried again and again, with the samo result, and finally, by mcro guess work, ho hit tho right one. .And it was a remarkable fact that after ho had really discovered his own, he could soo tho most astonishing absurdities in all the others. Some six years ago I was speaking with a well known publisher of this city, who sat at his desk signing some checks that the book-keeper had prepared for him. Tho signaturo was of tho firm, and was a peculiar one, as ho wroto it. .1 casually remarked that that wasancxcol lent signature for a forger. IIo promptly responded that no forger could sign that name so as to deceive him. " Oh, yes' there can," said I. " Where is he V " lie is standing at your elbow." ; " Do you mean to say," said he, " that you can iinitato that signature so I. can not detect tho forgery '!" " I mean to say," said I, " that I think I can do it, and am willing to try it." , " If you will writo that signaturo," ho replied, "so that I cannot distinguish it from my own, I will"- " There, there, don't bo rash ; I should dislike to take advautago of your present excitement. If you will just writo the signature at tho top of that letter sheet, we'll see . what a little impudence can do." . . , . . ! lie did as requested. I took the shoot and went to the book-keeper's desk. Here I exchanged it for another of tho samo kind, and in tho samo relative po sition I imitated the signaturo in a very freo careless way, not attempting a servile copy, but preserving the characteristic strokes. I then very carefully wrote uu dorneath it tlirca faithful imitations, making four signatures, all. my own. These I took to the - proprietor aud told him to select his own siguature. With surprisingly littlo effort he pointed out the first signature, and at once began to criticise with severity my base imitations. ' ' Well," said I, " I will confess they are not as well done as I expected to do them, or ns I could do them if my nerves were steady. Hut really," said I, " don't you think that if ono of these signatures were placed at the bottom of your or dinary check, your bank would hon or the check ?" ' ' : Well, no," said he, " I don't think it would." " I suppose," said I, " there is no doubt about tho top signature that would bring the cash 1" "Oh, yes, I should like to see our bank refuse that signaturo for an ordina ry sum." I then went to tho book-keeper's desk and procured the original signaturo. ' " How about this ?" said I. " He looked at the signature then at my " base imitations" then at the crowd of interested spectators who had gather ed around, and who were beginning to tako in the richucss of tho joke,; and finally he burst out in an expression that was a mixture of astonishment, ohagrin, merriment vexation and perplexity, and holding out his hand with unconditional surrender written all over his fuco he exclaimed, " sold !" , That was tho only word in the Ameri can language that could adequately ex press the situation. But tho sell was a very easy one and required no skill at all. The fact is that when the original signature was compared with the forgeries the discrepancies were so palpable, that " a wayfaring man, though a tool, need not bo taken in; and yet, if my friend had not been a doacon, which he wasand is and if I had been as most forgers, I could have won a very nice sum, had I offered to stake it on the issue. Finally, to convince tho deacon that he was not the only fool in the firm, I called up one of tho other partners, and showing him the three false signatures, asked him to decide which was the genuine. With a great show of ready discernment ho se lected the top ono, and began at once to point out the weak points in the others, simply by comparing with what he con sidered the genuine. "Yes," said be, " they are pretty fair imitations, but don't you see the length of this g and the turn of this n ? Now, look at the originul, and see where this capital J sweeps around. There is an attempt at it in the imitations, but it is a very weak one." " Then you couldn't be imposed upon by ouq of those lower signatures? I said. " No, not I. They bear forgery upon their very faco." " Well, how about tho first ono ? No mistake about that f You would readily cash a check with that signature 1" " Oh, yes, that is all right. Anybody who ever saw tho deacon's sign manuul could tell that at a glance." So tho deacon divided up bis chagrin with tho junior partner, and felt better or worse, I've Corgottcn which. The fact is, no man is safo in swearing to his signature not even Horace Gree ley to his own for no man writes a sig naturo twice aliko, although he may pre serve the characteristics. Aud I would give very littlo for the testimony of "ex perts" unless backed by pretty strong collateral evidence. Kidnapping Extraordinary. Some dozen years ago, in a quiet littlo village in the State of Illinois, thoro lived a young married couple named Warring ton. ' Mr. W. warf a mcehauic in the cm ploy of k railroad company, aud tho sccno of his labors was situated about ten miles from his littlo home, and, as a matter of course, ho spent but littlo time in tho bosom of his family. They had been married about a year, when ono day Mrs. W. suggested to her husband that, in view of the fact that a very iuteresting affair was about to take place in tho house of Warrington, ' a domestic had better be engaged. ' ' ' ; Accordingly a maiden of about 25 summers was called in to officiate in that capacity. A few weeks after her confinement she died, while Warrington was absent at work; and upon his return ho found him self not only a widower, but childless as tho nurse had absconded, tnkingthe child with her, and no traces of her retreat could bo found. ' .. . ... i -A few weeks since Mr.1 Warrington ar rived at a small town near Osago Mission Kansas, and whilo strolling through the principal street, met a bright little girl of about a dozen years, in whom ho rcoog nized the exact picture of his dead wife. After making a lew inquiries, ho became satisfied that his daughter was living with as she thought, her mother, in nn adjoin ing city, iiio woman una wen since maiticd and was now a widow' liobold ly confronted hor ladyship, whom he readily recognized, and was recognized in turn. The widow expressed no de sire whatever to retain tho custody of the girl, and asked to be allowed a few hoursto prepare hor for her departure Mr. Warrington called on tho follow ing morning, aud was politely informed that Miss Coulter was not at home ; that she had gone out tho evening before, and had not returned. Mr. Warrington is again on the hunt of her, and will spare no pains to recover the Dossession of his Child. , A Horrible .Tragedy. Rumor brings us detail of a horrible trag edy that is said to have occurred at St. Clair county, Alabama. The rumor runs that the Tux Collector of St. Clair had got together a largo amount of taxes and gavo them to his wife to keep ; remarking as he did so that he was compelled to take a trip that would necessitate his ab sence from homo for threo or four days. He left and sho hid the money. About ten o'clock that night a party of men, wearing disguiscB, broke in upon the lonely woman and . demanded the tux money. . She refused to give it np or tell where it was., After attempting in vain to force her to tell tbo hiding place of the trcasuro, they searched for it and found it. After possessing themselves; firmly of the money, they ordered her to get them some supper. While sho was busying herself with this forced task she achieved the idea of poisouing them, and thus preserving at onoo the money and her husband's honor. She deftly slipped some arsenic in tho coffee sho wus mixing. They drank heartily and fell dead shortly afterwards. She stripped the disguises offend found that two of the villains were strangers, but tho third was hor husband, who had takon this means of stealing the taxes of tho people. The story is almost too horrible for oredulence, but our informants were confident that tho facts were as thoy stated them. Rome Commercial. c?" A young married couplo were I recently killed at Chicago under tho fol- I lowing circumstances: They had crossed the track to get aboard the Hyde Park train, which was about to start. At this moment the Kalamazoo train approached at a high rate of speed, but thoy suposing there was no danger kept their position beside the other train but as the engine passed the long dress of tho lady she was drawn by the current of air under the whoels of tho locomotive, and she was almost instantly dragged undor the fast flying train. Her husband seised her and he also was drawn under the whoels. ejr Moses 8. Terwilligor, who chok ed his mother to death on the 10th inst., has been lodged in the Kingston jail, and made full confession. He entered her room in the middle of the night, aud after killing her placed her body in the cellar, end set firo to tho premises. Some men endeavoring to enter the house were mot by the murderer, who knocked ono of them down with a club. Terwil liirer lma been itisaun for some timo. ci - His mother wus 8!l years old, A Murderer Taken from Jail and Lynched. r Thomas Hodges, tho horso-thief. mur derer and desperado, who shot and fatally wounded Mr.Whitlock on Friday, tho 7th inst.,was taken from the jail in Staunton, Va., about ono o'clock on tho 13th inst., and hanged about ono and a half miles from tho town. Tho jailor nnd ex-Sheriff McCutcben were both in tho jail and refused tho mob tho keys, when they broke open the doors and took Hodges out. Nono of tho men who entered tho jail were disguised yet they were not recognized by cither tho jailor or tho ex-Sheriff, being strangers, to both. Hodges had shot and killed four men previously in that locality. Tho first act of lynching in the locality is univer sally condemucd.' Paper Wheels. A car company is running a car on the Chicago and Northwestern road with what nro called "paper wheels." Tho wheels have steel tires and cast irou hubs, and the paper is introduced iu the way of filling under tho tires, for tho purpose of deadning sound and diminishing tho force of concussion. According to tho " National Car Builder " tho wheels have been running sinco July last, under this car, aud had been in use somo four mouths previously. The paper device is said to be superior to wood for the purpose desig nated,, being stronger and lighter, and free from knots, grain or sap. It does not ex pand or contract, but remains in the con dition in which it is put iu the wheels with1it liability of change. It is cheaper than wood, aud can be made lire and water proof by asbestos. It is, as a substitute for wood, adapted to a variety of uses, especially iu tho way ot ornamentation. ttg". dispatch from Hartford dated the 10th inst., says : An evident error lias been discovered in tho return of votes from the Fourth ward of New Haven, by which a hundred more votes were returned for Govenor English than should have been. This number was returned moro than was checked on the poll list, and the Democratic Stato ticket , was declarod to have a like number of votes moro than tho Representative ticket, whilo tho Re publican State and Representative, tick ets were about equal. ; . The matter will probably bo fully inves tigated by tho Legislature, and if tho re turn is the result of mistake or fraudu lent count, Jewell will bo Governor. JB When tho Western-bound passen ger train of tho Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad 1 had arrived at a' point half a mile west of Fowler station, on tho 10th inst., tho conductor, discovered a man creeping through the timber hand cuffed. ' IIo immediately caused the train to bo stopped, and captured tho fugitive, who gavo his name as Herman Ilcwcr. His general appearance was that of a crazy man, and stated that ho had escaped from tho Adams county poor-house. - This, however, is not believed to be a fact, and the wholo affair is wrapped in mystery, as to who ho is, or where he camo from.
