A MYSiEUIOUS TKAOEDY.
ADVENTUltF.IIH, COUNT
P)j FOP.NELLI.
AND COUNT-
In the year 1831, n conplo professing to
belong to tho Neapolitan nobility, rriulo
their nppearaiico in Loudon nt tlio beginuing
of the fashionable season, ninl, by their ap'
parent w ealth, certain letters of introduction
which they brought, nnd their evident fa
milinrity with tho manners of aristocratic
society, speedily ingratiated themselves in
the favor of the best families, and were wel
coino visitors nt every place of fashionable
resort. The man who called himself tho
Count Fornelli, was a tall, dark, grave per
son, with a studied courtliness of manner
which could not fail to impress nil with
whom ho was brought in contact, while the
Countess was ono of thoto queenly magnin
cent brunettes, with flashing black eyes
raven hair and pouting, voluptuous lips, o
whom Naples in so justly proud as her
daughters.
Both spoko English well, but with a sligli
accent, which did not detract, howover, from
tho melodious charm of tho lady's converse
tion, or render tho gentleman's less enter
tainiug. Therowas nothing iu their man
tier, habit, or surroundings which could
awaken even tho over ready suspicion of tho
English people ivith whom they were in con
stant contact and intimacy, and, such were
tho golden opinions that they won on all
sides that, when early in I80T1, tho ill-bealtl
of tlio Countess demanded that they sliouh
pass tho slimmer at somu of tho fusliionabl
watering places on tlio continent, their ile
parture was u cuti-u of real regret to a very
largo circle of warm personal friends.
For two years thereafter, Count Fornelli
and Ins wife, leiiiained on tlio continent
traveling frequently, ofttimes stopping for
weeks together at queer out-of-the-way
places ; again blooming out In grand style at
the noted resorts of Switzerland, Germany
nud France, everywhere meeting English
friends, and ns it was nfterward discovered
everywhere fleecing them out of largo sums
of money. In those days everybody gambled
everybody at least who moved iu aristocra
tic society, and play ran a3 high as tho jilay
ers' means admitted.
Count Fornelli nnd his charming wife
wcro never known, to far as anybody could
remember, to propose to play for iuoney,but
were fond ot tocial games of cards, for no
stakes nt all or lor stakes bo unnlllhat they
might as well not havo been made. Indeed,
tho Countess was so afraid of tho excitement
of gaming that when play ran high her head
would begin to nclio, and sho would cither
rctlro from tho room or occupy herself with
providing re fresh in cuts for the players. And
sho used to bo very angry with her husband
for acceding to tho wishes of his visitors,
who preferred to bet rouleaus of gold instead
ot nix-penccs, nud would tell them, with
such infiiilto prcltlncas of manner, that sho
"hoped they would win ull his money, so
that he would never do such terrible gamb
ling any more," and would lean over their
shoulders, if they wcro young men, and in
toxlcato them with tlio warmth of her per
fumed breath upon their necks, whllo sho
adroitly telegraphed to her husband what
cards they held.
In plain truth, Count Fornelli nndhh
beautiful Countess wero a pair of extraordi
nary cunning adventurers, totally unprinci
pled and skillful gamblers, whosn stay In
England and malutcnanco of rigid propriety
during their stay tluro wero but part of a
I deeply laid schema to ingrntlato themselvos
llitothocoundcncoof rich Kugllsli pcoplo,
that they might rob them moro easily find
thoroughly, nud ho had no moro claim to
tho titlo of' Count than to that or Grand
Cham of Tartary. or sho any moro to Coun
tess than to that of Priestess of tho Sun.
All this, however, did not como out un
til long afterwards, and possibly might nev
er havo been known but for ono of those
ndlscrctlons resulting from what poets love
to call "the master passion," which invaria
bly makes troublo whenover It really exists,
in bad society nulto ns effectual v as' n i?ond.
iu 18J7, at llio beginning of winter. Count
and Cottntcs Fornelli found themselves
lomicilcd In elegant apartments In tho Hue
de St. llunorc, l'aris, receiving their friends
witli tho same courtly graco and generous
hospitality which had distinguished thorn
ever since they mado their first appearance
In London, and wcro still deemed worthy
members of tho aristocracy.
Among their most constant visitors was a
young Englishman named Georgo ltonwick,
econd son ofn noblo family, but exception
ally licit by right of nn inheritance ouihis
mother's side for one in his concratly mi-
enviable position. Ho was a very handsome
fellow, all and well built, with laVgo blue
eyes, and a fiuo head covered with thick,
golden curls just tho stylo of beauty which,
in obedience to tho law of oppositcs, would
bo most likely to attract a bruuetto llko the
Countess Fornelli, and at tho same tinio to
find her irresistnble. Tho theory of that law
was not at fault In this case. Tho old course
of such affairs so happily condensed by By
ronwas, in this one, in no wiso departed
Irom, not at least until tho finale
" glances beget ogles i ogles, sighs ;
Sighs, words ; words, a letter ;
Which leads to amorous conversation
And adulterous beds,
And broken vows, nnd hearts, and heads.
The young Englishman was too infatuated
to bo prudent. Ho rode with the Fornelli')
n daytime, went to the opera with them in
tho evening, and gambled with tho Count
generally losing heavily nt night.
Bid tho Count suspect tho real reason or
tho young man's almost constant presenco at
ns house? That no ono could answer. IF
io did, ho gave no sign. Ho always greeted
lim cordially, never hesitated to leave him
alone with the Countess, oven for hours to- i
gether, and seemed not even to notice tho
passionate glances, hand claspings,and whis
perings from which they could not restrain
themselves, even in his presence. Mean
while, as was subsequently ascertained, the
ISeapolitan's superior skill or fortune at
ccarte, piquet and lausquenct procured the
transfer of no less sum than 23,000 to his
pocket from that of tho infatuated youth.
Ono morning, just at daylight, In tho
month of November, a gendarme, making
his rounds, stumbled upon a corpse, lying
face downward, at the entrance of a little al
ley running out of the Hue Lafitte. The
hilt of a knil'o protruded from tho dead
man's back, between the shoulders. It had
been driven in with such 'terrible force that
tho blade had cleft tho heart in twain, and
death could not bavo been other than instan
taneous. Judging from thn freshness of the blood
which welled out of the wound, and had not
yet had time to coagulate in tho frosty nir,
tho gcml.irmo believed that tho deed had
been committed but a few moments before
he reached tho spot, yet ho heard no retreat
ing footsteps and hiw no ono running away
lrom the vicinity.
Calling to his assistanco one of his fellows
tho two removed the corpso to the nearest
station, whero tho knife was withdrawn from
tho wound. It was one of those terrible Ve
netian "llama" dagger?, with two waved
edges, keen as razors, nine inches loug,near
ly two inches wido at tho handle, and with
n point sharp ns a ncedlo. On tho handle,
which was of solid silver, was inlaid in gold
tho letter "F."
Before nine o'clock that morning a secret
agent of tho police, who was enrolled among
those assigned to esplonago upon foreigners,
had recognized tho body as that of Georgo
Henry Eenwick, tho hnndsomo young Eng,
llshman. By this time, also, another horri
bio crime had been discovered, and tho per
petrator seized almost in tho act of its com
roittal. Another young Englishman sub
sequent!)- identified, as William Mason, a
commercial traveler who boro a wonderful
resemblanco toJIr. Itenwick, was stabbed
by an assassiu, In tho Ituo liourgoigno, with
a knife which was the exact counterpart of
that left in tho body of Itenwick. Tho mur
der was perpetrated nn hour earlier than
that in tho Hue Lafitte, and in a clumsier
manner, tho victim not being slain at tho
first blow, but enabled to shriek for help bo
foro tlio second blow ended his life. Tlio
shriek was heard bv a gendarme who hap
pened to bo near at haud.aud who succeeded
after a short chase, and notwithstanding the
rascal's deperato resistance, in capturing tho
assassin while;lhoblood of his victim still
covered his right hand.
The man thus captured was an Italian, an
evil-looking, stuiily, dark-visaged villain
who reluctantly gavo his name us Anselmo
Yetucci. Ho was already known to tho po
llco ivs a desperate character, aud nn atioclato
of the, most hardened criminals, Y hen ar
rested ho bogged that tho Count Fornelli bo
sent for, averring that tho Count was his
countryman, had known him In ISaples, am:
would aid hint in procuring justice.
But tln Count, on being told of his arrest.
coolly replied :
"Why should I trouble myself about tip
fellow? I never knew hliu In my life, nn
you say ho is a scoundrel. Ho may bo
countryman ot mine, for, unfortunately, Nn
pies, like every other city, has bad men ; but
even if ho is. I havo no desiro to shield him
on that account from punishment for a hor
riblo crime, ISo, I would not troublo my
self about Mm, Chop his head oil' if you
please,"
Upon being informed that tho handle of
tho assassin's kullo boro tho initial "F" tho
Count said :
Ah I then it may bo mlno. I cither lost
or had stolen from me, about a month ago,
just such a dagger ns you' describe. It had
been in my family at least a hundred years,
und I would not Imvo taken a thousand flor
ins for it. I shall cortalnly come in good
timo und see If it Is mlno; and if it is, why
hnl bal I shall havo n persona Interest,
in tho execution of tho rascal, who has prob-,
ably stolen it."
Whon Vitucci learned how his appeal to
to tho Count had been received, ho was wlluj
with fury, and in f is excess, of vengeful raga
screamed ;
(,So he wlnhes my head chopped off, does
ho ? Weil, I wish to wo his head chopped,
off. They may chop us both at once, for j
do you see V ho is my principal! my cm-
ployer 1 my patron I It Is ho who hired mo
to glvo that poko to tho Englishman. Yes,
hoi Ho gave mo money to tho valuoof fifty
florins, nnd promised mo ft hundred moro
when tlio job was done. Ho brought lilin
riding whero I could sco him, that I might
know him again, Tho Count cursed mo be
cause I could not get at him sooner. Well,
nnd now that it Is done, ho docs not know
me. Good I Wo shall sco if ho will not. I
dcnouiico him as my accomplice. Tako hhn
too. Chop his head off, and I am willing
you do tho samo to me."
Tho police listened to this frenzied denun
ciation, but did not immediately arrest tho
Count. They contented themselves with es
tablishing upon him such an csplonngo as
would render it impoisiblo to lcavo l'aris, .or
to do aught moro than think without their
knowledge. Then they waited for some
thing to givo color to, this startling accusa
tion. The news of tho assassination of Mr, Iten
wick flow llko lightning over l'aris. but only
reached the Cottutcss Fornelli lu tho after
noon, when sho was visiting tho house of a
friend. Sho drove nt onco to tho polico of-
hfico, where his body still lay, awaiting remo
val by his friends to his Into residence, and
being admitted to view tho corpse, threw
herself upon it uttering tho wildest expres
sions of endearment and grief, regardless of
tho presenco of those about her.
Tho Lieutenant of Polico exhibited to her
tho knife found in tho dead man's back.
"It is my husband's I" sho exclaimed. "I
recognize it. I have often seen it in his
possession. It is ho who has slain my George!
He, tho cowardly assassiu I I denounco him
as tho murderer I"
Then, fulling again upon tho breast of her
dead lover bIio wept bitterly, and raved.
"It is I I, who loved thee so well who
have murdered thee I My love was fatal to
thee, oh I my best beloved I Forgivo me I
Thou knowest I would havo died to save
thee 1"
She spoke iu Italian, and seemed half in
sane in her grief.
That night, Count Fornelli, no doubt hav
ing learned of this second denunciation, at
tempted to cscapo in disguiso from Paris,
whereupou ho was Bcized and lodged in pris
on. But upon the preliminary examination
o established beyond a doubt that however
o might havo been connected in instigating
cither or both of the assassinations, be had
not. with his own hand at least, perpetrated
cither, for three witnesses of unquestionable
honor swore that all that night they spent
with him over tho card table.
Ono of theso witnesses Baron Gierstall,
German also testified that a fortnight
previously tno Uouut nau mentioned to linn
his loss ofn valued d.igger,which ho describ
ed, nnd his description tallied accurately
with both tho weapons with which that
night's murders were committed
This fact gave strength to Count Fornelli's
asservations, and threw some doubt upon
the accusations of Anselmo Yitucci, whom
the police were now rather disposed to re
gard as n brigand who had marked tho rich
young Englishman, Itenwick, for his prey,
nnd who had killed tho commercial traveler
by mistake. They could not doubt, nfter
the scene with tho Countess, that her bus
band had reasons for jealousy, nnd deemed,
it probable that his yengeful southern blood
would have prompted him to procuro the
young man's assassination, but of his having
done so thero was as vet no proof. Who
then, and for what motive, had killed Mr.
Renwick?,and how was tlio mystery of the
duplicate daggers to bo explained? The
Countess was shadowed day and night by
keen detectives, so that scarcely a single mo
meut was sho free from tbeir surveillance,
and almost every word she uttered was
known to them, for through her, they right
ly judged, tho final elucidation would be at'
talned, if at all.
On the third day after the Count's arrest
tho Countess, who had meantime remained
In strict seclusion, Bent a servant with a note
to an obscuro room in tho Quartier Latin
Tho servant slipped tlio note under tho door
of the apartment aud returned to her mis
tress. Now the detectives had another point
to watch. Tho room, they found, was occu
pled by an Italian student named Iticnrdo
I'ocolini. Tho note, which was procured
and read by a special agent of the police
within twenty minutes after it had been left,
simply contained the words:
To-night. Wait in your room for me,
Be alone."
It was re-scalcd and left upon the floor.
Befuro tho student re-entered his room the
detectives had taken possession of the ad
joining apartment, and so pierced tho wall
that not only was everything audible, but
even visible, which transpired on roeolinl1
side of it. yet their proximity could not havo
been suspected.
At seven o'clock tho student entered hi
room, picked up tho note, read it, and utter
eda cry of joy. Then ho busied himself
preparing for his visitor. Ho'rau out, and
brought buck a neat little supper and some
champagne, which ho placed upon his table,
Ho built up a good lire und trimmed hi
lamp. Then he paced tho floor impatient
ly.
At 9 o'clock a woman tapped at his door,
Sho was dressed as n grisette, excepting that
sho wore a veil, with which grisettcs, In those,
days at least, wero seldom known to hldo
their pretty faces.
When she revealed her features, sho was

Tho student sprang toward her with an
exclamation of direction, and was about to
take her iu hw arms, but sho repulsed
him.
'.tstop," sho said ; I must first know if
there Is blood upon thy hand?"
Tho student stopped, changed color, and
replied evasively
"Thou knowest, angel of my lilo, that tho

"It il is locked up hidden away.

"In tho young Englishman's heart," ex.
claimed tho Countess, impetuously, inter
rupting him, "Do not deny it. I read as
sassination in thy very face."
"Aud if I did," responded tho student,
dropping in his passion tho airectlonato "tu
toycr," "your treachery was what sealed his
futo. You had Hod to me. You sworo to
mo that you returned my lovo j that you
would ho mine if your husband wero not in

that I loved you bo much that I liauntod

I had agreed to do your wish, but not that

determined that ho should first bo well
out of the way. Ah I how Blmpio you
thought mc, and how you and ho laughed
together, no doubt, that I damned myself
for tho shadow that ho might havo tho sub
stance. But ho will laugh nt mo no more.
It Is easier to kill for hato than love."
Tho woman listened throughout without n
word, then dropped into n chair near her
with n sobbing cry, 'Oh 1 fnto is pitiless in
IU retribution."
Tho student approached her. "That is
over; think ot it no more. lam still tiero
to lovo you, for I havo to lovo you yet with
all my soul, dcsplto tho treachery you plan
ned to me, and I say to you, Fcllcitc, let us
lovo and forget."
As ho spoko ho knelt upon ono kneo bo-
side her and put his arm around her.
Tho touch recalled her to herself, and sho
sprang to her feet.
"Love I for you I Never t Rather would
lovo tho most loathsomo leper. Love for
you 1 I will denounce you ns an assassin in
stead." "And yourself 03 my accomplice?"
"I caro not."
Sho turned and opened tho door. Two
gendarmes stood.beforo her. She reeled and
fell swooning to the floor.
Both tbo Countess and Iticnrdo Focollnl
wcro placed in confinement, and both con
fessed their agency in tho tragic occurrence
of tho death of Mr. Itenwick. in sub
stance the same as had been outlined in their
conversation.
Ricardo furthermore afforded a clew to tbo
mystery of tho duplicate daggers in saying
that tho ono given to him by tho Countess
ad been stolen from him while ho was In
toxicated in a little wine shop frequented by
Italians, and that ho had been forced to havo
it duplicated. Being an art student and
having studied with an artistic aud critical
cyo tlio curious old weapon, ho had been
ablo to so exactly make a drawing of it that
nn armorer in tho Rue St. Antonio had re
produced it for him, and it was this second
nife which ho left in the young English
man's back, hoping that it would lead to
fastening thecrimo upon Count Fornellii'
The Count's agency in the matter of the
other assassination was established with suf.
ficicut clearness to procure for him a life
sentence to tho galleys, though not to send
him to the guillotine with Focolini and Yi
tucci. He had hired, tho latter to kill Mr.
Renwick, and tho bravo, deceived by a rare
personal resemblance, had assassinated tho
wrong man. Tho Countess Fornelli was
coudemned to ten years of penal servitude,
but in some way contrived to procure poison
nnd died in prison before tho expiration of
tlio firot six mouths of incarceration.
How Peoplo Are Swindled.
"Address with postage stamps," etc. This
simplo form of words is fonnd at the end of
moro than half the advertisements nowadays,
It has become ono of the grand formulas of
the modern epoch. Sometimes it is varied
with "Send stamp for circular," but the de
sire for stamps is always expressed. There
is always n certain amount of spare credulity
in tho world, over and above what is needed
for the ordinary transactions of life, that
not remain latent. It has got to find vent
somewhere. In the years gono by It spent
itself in religious superstition, but now it
goes Into postage stamps, forwarded for cir
culars which tell how to get rich, how one
may take his future into his own hands, how
to restore one'ayouth, etc All these thiugs
may be very desirable to know, and what i(
the loss of a few cents in postage stamps,any
way?
Not long ago three French journalists
wero discoursing of human credulity in a
cafe, and tho question "Where is its limit?'
wjis raised. Ono of the three maintained
Unit human credulity had no limit. It was
finally agreed that each of the trio should
insert in tho newspapers an advertisement
tlio most eccentric, Improbable and absurd
that it was possible to devise each adver
tisements to be accompanied with a demand
for stamps nnd watch tho remit. Tho
first of the trio published tho following ex
traordinary announcement:
M HIE HAND IN THE HAIIt. Send one
X uanc lilty centimes in postngo stamps
for tlio now theory of nu entirely now cnsa-
tion. It gives lovo and fioshiicus. Address
A, 11. post ulhce.
Tho second conspirator, taking advantage
of nn old and familiar superstition, advertis'
ed as follows :
TETURN FROM THE OTHER World
Xi bend one frano.fifty centimes in postag
stamps. Accurato news lrom tho better hind,
Mysteries revealed. Everything made dear.
Auuress il post omce.
The third, abandoning all subterfuges, ad'
vcrtiscd boldly its follows:
T PROMISE NOTHING : I encaco to nor
1 form nothing. But bend one franc filty
ccuumes in postage, remaps thero Is a lit
ue surprise in store- nir you.1 who knows
Address 1), O., post ollice.
Theso advertisements produced a result
far greater than the conspirators had hoped
Postngo stamps rained for several days. And
when tho people found that thoy wcju not
receiving their quid pro ijuo they sent on
moro postago stamps. And th) most suc
cessful' of the threo advertisements wus tho
last. Finally tho threo journalists turned
over their ill-gotten gains to a charitable so
ciety and told their story in a newspaper i
order that tho dupes might know what hod
become of their postago stamps. They had
satisfied themselves that human credulity
had indeed no limit.
Bn Coubtbous. A teacher should never

porson who cannot put truth with decision

upon not merely what tho scholar Is doing
aim tlio kind or truth ho wishes to teach
him, but also upon the manner and spirit I
which ho teaches and tho student receives
tho truth. A sharp and oflensivo manner is
certain to irritate aud repel tho scholar.

Speech from Senator Wallace.
Tho following Is n full synopsis of tho
great speech of U. S. Senator Wallace, of
this state, on tho motion of Senator Morton
to print extra copies of tho President s re
cent message on tho Hamburg (South Car
olina) riot. Tho speech is well spoken of
by all tho leading journals of tho country
and will bo read with prldo by his Pennsyl
vania constituents.
Ho said ho would not attempt to palliate
or dclcnd tho Hamburg outrage. Ho would
rejolco to havo It judicially investigated and
tlio perpetrators of tho outrage punished.
Ho spoko of tho troubles in tho South, nnd
said ono cauao of them was that tho Federal
power constantly interfered thero and would
not ollow the pcoplo to control their own af
fairs. Homo rulo was tho best rule, and if
Federal bayonets were taken away from tho
South thero would bo peace and order, no
then alluded to thd statement ofhls col
league (Mr, Camcron),'made a few days ago,
n regard to iUollio luaguirca' in l'enusyi-
ranla being Pcmociats, nnd soy they were
men of both political parties, and somo of
them wcro unnaturalized citizens. Ho Was
humiliated to admit that theso men had
honeycombed many counties with crime
Ho said in his State, prosecutions against
iho Mollie Maguircs wcro being pressed", aud
jaw and order was being restored in that old
Commonwealth by Democratic officials. Ho
hen referred to the statement recently sent
lo tho Senate by the Secretary of tlio Treas
ury, showing a list of defaulting public off
icers since 1824, andfargucd that It wa3 un
truthful and unreliable. Ho quoted from
tho remarks of Messrs. Morton and Anth
ony, to show that they themselves did not
put any confidence in this statement, yet
bampaign speeches wero made based upon
it. Could that be called fairness ? He read
from a statement sent to Congress in 1839
by Levi Woodbury, then Secretary of tho
fl'reasury, to show that the losses of the gov
ernment from 1834 to 1838 wcro $444,084,
and not $2,647,000, as stated in tho recent
report of the Secretary of the Treasury. Ho
quoted at great length from tables in regard
to receipts and expenditures of the govern
ment, and said tho loss by defalcations from
18G2 to 1875 amounted to $3,43 on each $,1
000 expended. The questions of the present
aud recent past were here and to be an
swered. It was not for tho Republican par
ty to arraign the past but to answer .for it.
Why were tho people out of employment ?
Why were manufactures destroyed and bus
iness men bankrupt? Why was it that tho
people could not trust those who ruled them?
Why was the Republican administration a
wise or a cheap oner Was its financial pol
icy a wiso one ; These questions wcro beloro,
the people They wero suffering and would
top to think. Why had the expenses ot
the government increased since 1872 ? Re
ferring to the financial policy of the adminis
tration, lie said it was the part'of prudence
to postpone specie loiumption until tho peo-i
pie recovered from tho burdens of the last
ten years, and until by steady growth' it
would come with ease and Balety. This re
sumption act was a standing menace to bus
iness men of the country; legislation in
the interest of aggregated wealth ngainst tho
business' men produced distress and
bankruptcy. Pennsylvania, recognizing her
obligation to pay her debts to her last far
thing in gold, by him asked for more timo,
and he knew whereof be spoke. In conclu
sion he referred to the charges ngainst Bel
knap, Sohenck, Robeson and others, the oper
ations of the whisky ring, etc., aud said tho
people asked if the standard of officials lite
bad not been fearfully lowered? If theso
charges were' not true; let tho poople have
the proof and they would acquit the republi
can party. r
Good Things to Save.
If work about a house is done quietly, it
seems to'bo easier. Slamming oven doors;
clattering dishes, and other kindred noises;
wear- and bewilder almost as much as th'6
work itself. The most successful houso
keepers are generally quiet workers.
To sprinklo damp bran upon ft carpet bo
foro sweeping is a good way of laying tho
dust without injury to tho carpet, Oilcloths
should be cleaned lu warm, not hot, water,
and rubbed dry with a cloth wrung out of
milk and water.
Zinc that is used uuder stovcs.should nev
er bo dampened. If it becomes soiled or
dim, rub with soft flannel and n little fresh
ard. Cleaned in this way, a zinc may al
ways be kept as bright as when first pur
chased.
Gilt frames should havo a coat of demar
varnish, which will keep them from becom
