Hie History or ( rime In Hie Kr.nl.
A cniiitrtal his just been tried in Northern
India on a terrible etiuree. Oae Ramadboen,
a Hindoo ot the Mirzapore district, took to poi
soning as a relict iroru ennui. The number of
his victims is thus tar unknown. He ha", how
ever, killed twentj-seveu inayctr and a half,
and exhibited au especi! tute lor holy men on
pilgrimace'. A society of poisoners is believed
to exi9t lu India. A tew jeur ugo, a uejgiir In
Folomyia, Galicia, was proved to have Killed
and eaten fourteen children. Dunn? the ti
teenth and pixiceutli ctnturies cunnibalbm fre
quently manlicbted Itself among those supposed
to be civilized. On the 14th of December, 1598,
the Parliament of Paris sentenced a tailor,
named Chalons, to be burned alive for lvcan
thropy. The evidence showed that he had
decoyed children Into hi shop or attacked them
when they strayed from home, and having torn
them with his teeth and killed tnetu, be dressed
them as ordinary meat and devoured them with
great relish. A whole cask lull ot boues was
discovered in his houae. In 1410 Marechal de
Eetz, a Marshal ot France, a "licholarly man, a
patriot, and a man ot holy life," bi-came sud
denly possessed by an uncoLtrollable desire to
murder children. Duririr seven years he con
tinued to inveigle little srirls and boya into
ai ca9ilc at tli-i rate oi about ten a week,
and then put them to der.tti in various ways,
that he might wttne9 their usony and bathe
In their blood experiencing after each
occasion the roost oreadiul remorse, but led
: on by an irresistible cmviusr to repeat the
Scrimp. When this uuDaralleied inlouitv Wii9
anally brought to light, his castle was found to
t contain bins lull ot children's bone9. During
! the sever.teenth ctnturv a Hungarian countess
f named Elizabeth enticed voune ciris into ner
j palace on divers pretexts, and then coolly mur
' slered tbem lor the put pose of bathing in their
blood. The spectacle of human suuerinR at
last berauio such a d. liaht to her that 6he would
annlv with her own hand the most excrucia
ting- tortures, keenly relishing the shrieks
of her victims. In tins way she 19 said
. to have murdered six hundred and fllty
neisons before her cureer was brought to an
end. The old Herserkerd of Scuudinavia
t killed liuin:in betn29 tor the ovre love of the
thiue. Their clnt t amusement and business
was to 3ei sail for some pleumnt country, like
i Spain or Fracce, snd make a'l tho coasts and
f naviuabie iiveis hultous witii rapiue aud mas
sucre. When at home, lu tho Intervals between
their fret-booting exped'.ttoup, they were liable
to become possessed by a Btrnutre homicidal
mad'CAs, during which they would array
the' (selves iu wolf skius and sally forth by
Bibt "to snap the backbones, smash the skulls,
aud sometimes to drink with tit-nuisu gleu the
blood ot unwary travellers or loiterers." The
peasantry of many secluded portions ot
iiurope still cherih the superstition ot the
Middle ages concerning wcre-wolvCS. A
were-wolf. or a loup garon, was a person who
had the power ot transforming himself into
a wolf, being endowed wuile in this lupine
atate with the intellk-euee of a mau,
the ferocity oi a wolf and the irreistible strength
of a demon. "Hkln chunsers" was another
same for these my tbice I beings. According to
the mediu-val theory, while the were-wolf kept
his human term, bis hair grew inwards; when
ke wished to become a wolf he merely turned
feinoBCIf inside out. Aciwuing to another theory
the person possessed bad merely to put on a
woll fckin in order to assume iubtantly the lupine
iorm and character, baring Oould, an Eiigli-.il
writer, h89 recently produced a very entertain
ing volume on this Buperstition, wheiein he
demonstrates trem numerous instances that it
a as a foundation in fact to some extent. He
cites many cases iu which the homicidal aud
cannibal craving has been accompanied by
genuine hallucination, in which miserable
wretches have supposed them-elvesto be wolves
or other animate. N. Y. Advertiser.

At the inquest held over the bo liei or the
murdered men, the wounded oitoredmaa stated
that he recognized among the perpetrators of
this outraee Messrs. W. L. Jordan and Duvid
stid Jackson Butge, citizens O' De 3"to pnsh.
These psrtles were arrested and tried before
Justice Wt mack. After a trial lasting two days,
thev were acquitted and set at liberty.
The Time adds: "do far, suspicion now rests
upon do one as being engaged tn the aiabolical
ati'alr." We hive beard, among the many
crimes and oil' rases so frequent at the South,
no account wh.ch equals this in deliberate
barbarity, wholesale murder united with arson.
We cauuot learn that the un'ortunato victims
of this fiendish malignity were guilty of auy
