TATT. OF rAUL PIHRA,
"Murder will out, sometime, sure 1" ex
claimed Daniel WonJer, to a few hearers,
as he, laid down a paper from which ho had
just been reading aloud a case of mysterious
murder, tho perpetrator of winch had been
discovered alter years of ingenious and tortu
ous search. "I have many a timo noticed it.
It is according to the laws of nature, and
must be so, if not right oil', by-and-by ; if
not to-day, to-morrow, next day, then a year
ten, fifty, perhaps a hundred years hence,
The murder and tho murderor are sure to
come out. If I was on a plank alono with
a man in the middle of the ocean, and was
murder him, and sink him, with no ship in
sight I couldn't feel Bafe ! Some time or
other something would bring me out. If I
didn't tell of myself, asleep or awake, his
bones would rise, or "
"Or hh sperrit?" suggested somebody.
"No j I don't believe in spirits but his
bones, clothes, or the plank or it might bo
somebody was looking at me from a ship out
of sight, through a powerful spyglass, or
perhaps from another plank, or perhaps
happening to pass by overhead in n silk
balloon, and see me do it and so I should
feel sure I was not safe uutii at last I was
led out to be hung. You sco there is always
a chain of evidence between the murderer
and the murdered. It may bo short or long.
It may bo broken into many separato links;
but in time one man picks up one link here,
another a link there, and another, and so 011
until all the links are found and put together
and they are strong enough to hang the
man.'
"It does Beem so," said one of the listen
era, in thougutlul awe.
"Seems so I It is so I I always know that
murder will out, and have seen many slngu
lar cases of it. But the most singular case
I ever heard of was the fate of Paul Piera,
of Mos9creek, a clerk in a dry goods btore,
and so covered up, according to report, that
no evidence was supposed to be left of it.
He was unexpectedly missed one day, and
his body was not found till three years after
ward, People gave up all hopes of hearing
about the poor fellow,how he came to death,
or where, or what for, or who or where his
murderer was until a traveler came to Moss,
creek and hearing of the murder of poor
Paul Piera, he undertook to find tho body
or at least the real criminal, and bring him
to justice, This traveler's name was Solo
mon Foxpaw, and he prided himself on his
detective powers his penetration and per
severance and he had a restless, rolling.
staring, snappy kind of eye, that seemed to
take In everything about him at a glance,
People wished him success, but they didn't
expect It, But he didn't care for what they
expected. He set to work to find some links
for a chain of evidence."
"But I don't see"
"You can't see anything yet. You must
wait and see, Solomon Foxpaw made iu'
qulries for a month, but ascertained just
about nothing which would lead to the first
link. He then'sut down reflected aloue for
three days and finally he Bald to himself,
'Here is a piece of woods out here, and Paul
Piera was said to bs poorly. What moro
likely than he should walk in the woodi for
his health and there be murdered ?"
FRIDAY, MAY 25.
"Do sure I Wliat, Indeed?"
"With this Idea, Sol., without saying a
word to anybody bccau?o ho liated Inter
rtiplion M bad at I do wnlks out alono In
to tlio wood, and ticks about among tho
dry leaves, and examines tho ground, and
the rocks, and tho trees, with strong sus
picion." "To And a clew V"
"Why, of course, to find a clew."
"But I don't see"
"You never will see, if you don't wait,
and follow his ideas. Ho jiretty soon found
various letters, carved on various trees
initials of names, porhaps and among thcra
all at last ho discovered, on a treo by them
selves, tho letters, '1'. IV"
"Perilous Place, I suppose."
"Perilous Place, you suppose ! No. Paul
Piera ho supposed, for ho knew what to sup
pose. 'He certainly cut those letters,' Fox
paw felt convinced ; and ho put dawn 'P. V.'
as his first link. 'Now,' says he, 'I'vo got
something to work on,' and he felt encour
aged. Looking about him a little sharper,
as if Providenco had directed him, he found
a rusty jackknife, which had had ten blade?.
It had three now j a big one, a little one,
and a saw blado. Tho horn was gone, but
ho felt a conviction that this knife was a
second link, and ho put it in his pocket.
Looking about still further ho saw a crack
"Heard a crack."
"No, saw .1 crack a wide crack between
somo rocks. Something suddenly told him
thero was .1 cavo there, and that he would
find the body of Paul Piera in that cave.
Ho did find a cave, a very cavernous cave,
and he went and borrowed a spade, entered
and dug for sovcral hours, till ho struck
something hard."
"A box containing the bones of Paul."
"No. Uo thought so at first, but it prov
ed to bo nothing but solid rock. He dug
here and ho dug there, hut all was rock, and
now, being much tired, ho paused, nnd be
gan to suspect that he was on (he wrong
scent. A less resolute man would have de-
paired ; but 'No.' says Foxpaw, 'I'll dig
mother way.' And so ho dug off back to
town ngalu.aud made further inquiries about
what Paul Piera said and did tho last time
he was seen ; and showed tho jackknife con
fidentially.
"Nobody had seo Paul have such a knife,
but Sol Foxpaw happened at last on an old
lady who remembered she had bought some
mixed yarn of Paul the day he was mised.
lie seemed sick and unhappy, and said he
wanted to go to sea for his health. This
was all Foxpaw could paw out of her. It
seems little, but he thought it a good deal.
Wanted to go to sea. That's another link?'
says Sol. 'A man who goes to sea naturally
goes to a vcsel in the first place. Moscrcek
is a seaport place. I will go down and in
quire among tho vessels.' So ho went down
and by good luck ho soon discovered that
for years past tlio bchooncr Flying Turtle
had been in tho habit of bringing stock from
tho city for tho dry goods store. 'Another
link,' says Foxpaw. 'What is more likely
than that Paul, knowing the skipper, went
111 tho Flying Turtle that day to tho city ?
"So he asked the captain, who said ho was
not sure he didn't; and that sometimes ho
had; and he wouldn't wonder. 'Hero is
half a link more,' says Foxpaw. 'I will go
111 the ! lying Turtle, and make further in
quiries.
"It was during this trip, only a day's voy
age, that ho added threo or four more links
to his chain. On closely questioning the
captain tho latter remembered that on the
fital day one of his passengers from AI0S.-1
creek to the city was a raw-boned, swarthy,
ugly-looking man, who had a dissipated
nosi and a several-bladed jackknife. He
remembered a saw-blade in it, because it
was the first lie ever saw, and had said at
the time that if he was as homely as tho
owner of the knife, ho should cut his throat
with it, and leave tho consequences to other
people. Foxpaw now showed the rusty
knife, and he said it might be the same and
added that tho stranger's name was Murd
111.111, or Murkman, and that on landing in
the city, he had seen him at the Jolly Tar
tavern at the head of the wharf."
Seen Paul Pisra?" said ono listener,
much gratified.
"Why, no I Pay attention ! Seen this
ugly fellow don't you see?"
"Yes, I see, but I don't see "
"But you must wait and see, or you will
certainly lose the links. Up goes Solomon
Foxpaw to the Jolly Tar, as interested as if
he had been Paul Piera's only brother "
"Did he have a brother?"
"Nono of your business and asked tho
landlord to let him look at his arrival book
of three years before. Tho landlord sent to
tho garret for it, and they overhauled it to
getlier ; and suro enough I there stood the
name, at the proper date, in a fierce, big
hand, of Mike Murdman and
"Paul Piera."
"No! What do you know about it?
Mike Murdman and Friend.' 'This is the
biggest link of the lot,' says Sol to the land
lord I)o you recollect what kind of a look
ing man his friend was?"
" 'No,' says tlio landlord, 'but I recollect
that next morning tho two had a quarrel.
They had slept together, and Murdman was
charged by the other with stealing his mon
ey 111 tno nignt. nut jJiunlman sworo 110,
and as proof said ho hadn't enough money
to pay his own bill ; and they went out
quarreling, without paying. And that's the
lust I ever saw of tho other fellow, to my
knowledge.' "
-.More lints I'm getting a chain 1" says
Foxpaw. 'Went out together, quarreling,
about robbery. And did you ever seo Murd'
man again r"
u yes,' says tne landlord. 'lie a cap
tain 01 a brig now. lie came back a year
afterward and paid his bill, and now he
stops here every three months every return
trip he makes. It is timo for him now
brig was due yesterday j if you stop, I'll lu
troduce him to you."
"Was'the man hung?"
"Well, this beats all, I declare I" cried
Daniel Wonder, exasperated. "Hero you
are, wanting to get to the end of the chain
before I've got the links fastened together,
You would never make a detective."
"I don't care anything about the liuks.
AU I want to know Is, was the man hung?
You've got mo so excited I can hardly keep
my seat. It would be a satisfaction to know
If the man was hung at the start,"
"Well, he wasn't huug at tho start, am
never would have been, If Sol Foxpaw had
been as Impatient as you are. Have you
no Interest lu the philosophy of the thing?"
1877.
"No," said the man, nettled : "and I don't
care, now whether tho man was hung or not;
I hope ho wasn't; nnd I hope Paul Piera
was cut into as many bits as thero aro links
In your story I"
'Oo on, Daniel, go 011," said tho others,
"and if he interrupts you again, wo'll iiang
him."
"So, do. Well Foxpaw walled threo
days, patiently, for tho next link, and then
the brig came to port, and Murdman came
to tlio tavern, and the landlord Introduced
him to Foxpaw, over a glais, and they fat
down to talk. Sol was usually a cool fel
low, but, as ho afterward said, ho had his
scruples about sitting down and talking with
a murderer, and ho felt very palo and ner
vous considering the critical business ho
was on. Sol eyed him carefully all over,
nnd ho seemed to look homelier nnd hom
llcr tho moro ho examined him. Ho
thought of poor Paul Piera, and felt asham
ed of himself because ho had been drinking
in a friendly manner with this monster, who
for three years has escaped being hung, and
who no doubt imagined he should escape
forever.
'"I have drunk with him,' thinks Sol,
'but it was a means to an end ; and as that
end is a rope's end, I shouldn't feel ashamed
but I must begin to gather up more links,
however, I feel.' And pretty soon he had
.1 good opening."
"Do you chew ?" says Miko Murdman.
"I do," says Sol holding out a plug "and
If you don't liko to bite it off hero's a knifo
to cut it." And ho pulled out tho rusty
jackknife ho had fouud in tho woods.
"What's this," says Mike, staring at tho
knife,just as Sol expecting ho would.
"Only a knifo I found," says Sol. "Per
haps you've lost one. Does it belong to
you 7"
"lo mo I" said Mike, looking at it with a
shudder and coloring up. 'I guess not.
Take it back. Horrible. I don't cut tobafk
co with such a knifo as that."
"You needn't be afraid. It is rustv
but you don't think there's blood on it, do
you?"
liloour says Hike with another shud
der.
"Yes, blood !" repeats Sol, severely. 'As
I told you, I found that knife; and who
knows but there's blood, and human blood
on it, which makes it so rusty? The mur
derer might have thrown it away after lie
had done the deed, mightn't lie, and thought
nobody could find it?"
"How should I know."
"It is nn old knife," continues Sol. "but
an older head owned it, I reckon. Y'et the
oldest heads aro liable to get out of their
latitude and longitude. Now, you are a
seafaring man, and have you ever been to
Mosscreek?"
"Mosscrcek! Well, I may. say I have
once.
'"And more too."
"No. Only once."
"Only once. And what did you go there
for?"
"I didn't go there fori ' says Mike, with
a kind of sneer ; as if he was mad to bo so
questioned; and Sol said he looked confused,
'1 didn't go there for anything. I got drunk
stepped aboard tho vessel by accident."
"By accident? A stranger there? Then
you ilon t remember a young clerk I'atil
Piera?"
"No."
"Nor the woods nor tho cave?"
"No."
"I thought not. Short memory, I nip-
pose.'
"You ask a great many questions," now
savs Mike. "Are you crazy V You are very
pale."
'It is you are pale," says Sol ; "and I
want you to answer me somo more ques
tions." Not another word, till you take more
brandy," says Mike. "You need it."
"Ono word for mo and two for himself.
though Sol. "His guilt made him faint,
and ho wants a glass to stiffen him up. I'm
willinc. More drink will make him less
cautious."
"So ho agreed, and they drauk two or
threo times more. Ho seemed to gulp it
down like a fish," Sol said, "and I thought
I should soon get him drunk. But instead
of that I got iloored myself. I lost all con
sciousuess, and was put to bed, and next
day I was unable to find him anywhere.
Suspecting that he had got the start of me,
and had fled out of my reach for tho present,
I now thought," says Sol, "that the best
thing I could do was to go back t Moss
creek for a day, and have a talk with Paul's

"lliat was all they knew!" exclaimed
Daniel Wonder's indignant hearers, "But

iNNiin HISTORY
or TUB PENINSULA CAM
PAIGN. (fen. Wm. Ii. Franklin, ono of tho ablest
Generals of the Army of tho Potomac,wrltcs
to tho weekly 7Tic the following interesting
account of tho criminal interference with
General McClcllan's Peninsula campaign,
which so crippled his plans as to make their
failure sure :
On tho 8th of March I was ordered to re
pair to headquarters. Assembled thero were
the Geiicral-iii-chief, tho Chief Kngiueer of
tho Army of the Potomac, and all the divis
ion commanders, except General Hooker,
who was represented by General Naglee.
General McClellan submitted to us his plan
for tho movement of the army, nnd then left
us to ourselves. Upon tho question of ap
proval of his plan, tho voto was, I think,
nine for approval to three against it, al
though it has been reported as eight to four.
The numbers aro not material, as the main
object of tho meeting was to obtain a con
demnation of the plan by tho subordinate
generals. Immediately aftcrthis meeting wo
wero informed that the President wished to
sco us. We went to tho Whlto House, and
found thero tho President nnd Secretary of
War. They knew tho result of our meeting.
Kach ono of us was asked in turn by the
Secretary of War our opinion of the time
required to transfer tho army to the new
base. The general opinion was that a
month would bo required, and each one was
asked whether he wa3 willing to have this
sufl'ering country wait a month longer beforo
a blow was inflicted upon the enemy. Wo
wcro then asked tho question whether wo
thought the army ought to bo organized into
army corps or not. We unanimously an
swered that wo thought it ought to bo so or
ganized. The President then informed us
that ho deferred his opinion as to tho proper
method of moving tho army to ours. Ho
asked us to uso all our energies to help tho
country out of its great dangers, and ended
by saying to us, "If you aro faithful to me,
I, on my part will be faithful to you." He
then said he should form the Army of the
Potomac into four army corps, and knowing
bnt little of tho capacities of the generals
suitable lor the command ol these corps,
should assign the commands by rank. The
meeting was then dismissed.
General Johnston having evacuated his
position at Cenlrevillo on the 8th of March,
the army was immediately moved to Fairfax
Court House. Hero the assignment to corps
was made, and my division was assigned to
General McDowell's corps. Shortly after
ward, about the middleof March, we return
ed to a position in front of Alexandria to
await transportation. It was determined
that the bulk of the army should be landed
at Fortress Monroe, and move up tho Penin
sula between the York and James rivers,
and that General McDowell s corps should
land on tho north side of tho York river.
This 'arrangement required', that General
McDowell's corps should move last, and
General McClellan with his headquarters,
left Alexandria on April 1, he supposing
that nothing could occur to change his ar
rangemcnts.
On the 3d of April I was ordered to cm
bark my division. At about eleven o'clock
iu tho evening I received orders to move
part of the division on the next day, and to
call at headquarters for further instructions,
Going at onco to the War Department I
found General McDowell and General
Wadsworth there. General McDowell in
formed mo that the Secretary of War had
told him about an hour beforo that General
McClellan intended to work by strategy and
not by fighting, and that he should not have
another man from his department, that all
tho enemies of tho Administration centered
around him, and tho Secretary accused him
of political aspirations. Also that he bad
not left the number of troops to defend
Washington that the President required in
other words, that ho had disobeyed the Pre
sident's orders. General McDowell remon
strated against the step which was about to
be taken, arguing that if General McClellan
md political aspirations they would be for
warded by the very course which the Ad
ministration was taking iu this case. He
used all of the arguments which ho could
bring to bear to convinco the Secretary that
he wa3 making a mistake in ordering the de
tachment of his corps. The result was
Gen. McDowell's corps was detacjied from
tho Army of the Potomac, and was marched
to Catlett's Station on th'o'.Orange and Alex-
nnd"a ll0, where it could do no possi
se good. General McClellan's plan of
turping Yorktown, by tho movement of
McDowell's corps on the north bauk of tho
ork river was utterly destroyed. Tho Ar
my of tho Potomac was forced to stay a
whole month on the Peninsula uselessly,
and the capture of ltichmond, which in all
human probability would have been made
in tlie month of May, had General McClel
lan's plan been carried out was deferred for
tu ee years.
Thus was consummated the first great crime
of the war. A general had been sent from
Washington in command ef four army corps
on the most important command possible,
Before ho had been absent forty-eight hours,
his largest corps, commanded by his second
in command, containing more than one
fourth of his army, detailed for duty wlilch
was vital to tho success of his campaign, was
detached from his command, without con
sultation with mm and without his knowl

Frog Soup.
Mr. Beck's father was a rich merchant in
Boston, who was agent for tho French gov
ernment, and brought Into close connection
thus with tho French officers attached to tlie
squadron which for a timo was anchored tn
Boston Harbor. His house was the resort of
the foreigners, who were looked upon with
unbounded curiosity by the Boston people,
brought for tho first time Into acquaintance
with a nation uniformly traduced by the
British. It was incredible to them that per
sons who were popularly supposed to subsist
mainly on frogs should be so plump and
well-flavored j but tho original facts were
stoutly maintained and supported by tho ru
mor that they had been discovered hunting
for their favorite food in tho frog pond on.
tho Common.
"With this last notion In his head, Mrt
Nathaniel Tracy, who lived in a beautiful
villa at Cambridge formerly Washington's
head-quarters, nnd now Mr. Longfellow's
houso, mado a great feast for tho admiral
and his officers. -Everything was furnished
that could bo had'in the country to ornament
and give variety to tho cntertainintnt. My
father was ono of the guests, and told mo
often after that two large tureens of soup
wero placed at the ends of the table. The
admiral sat on tho right of Tracy, and M.
Do l'Etombo on the left. L'Etombo was
consul of France, resident at Boston. Tracy
filled a plato of soup, which went to tho ad
miral, and tho next was handed to the con
sul. As soon as L'Etombo put hisspoon in
to the plate, he fished np a largo frog, just as
green and perfect as if he had hopped from
the pond into tho tureen. Not knowing nt
first what it was, ho seized it by its hind
legs, and, holding it up in view of thowliolo
company, discovered that it was a full
grown frog. As soon as ho had thoroughly
inspected it, and made himself euro of the
matter, ho exclaimed, 'AJi I mon Dieul tine
grenouille I' Then turning to the gentleman
next to him, gave him the frog. He received
itaud passed it round tlio table. Thus tho
poor erapaud made the tour from hand to
hand until it reached tho admiral. The com
pany, convulsed with laughter, examined tho
soup plates as tho servants brought them,
and in each was to bo found a frog. Tho
uproar was universal. Meantime Tracy kept
his ladle going, wondering what his outland
ish gucts meant by such extravagant merri
ment. 'What's the matter?' asked he; and
raising his head, discovered tho frogs dang
ling by a leg in all directions. 'Why don't
they cat them ?' ho exclaimed. 'If they
knew tho confounded trouble' I had to catch
them, in order to treat them to a dish'of
their own country, they would find that with
me, at least, it was no joking matter.' "

An Ainlieiii'e of One.
Governor Joseph C. Foster, the veteran
American manager, actor and author, somo
years ago organized a theatrical company to
play short engagements in various cities and
towns of the west. They arrived at Bucy
rus, Ohio, a small city on the Sandusky
river, where bills were issued, a hall rented,
and properties engaged. During'their stpy
a novel incident occurred. Mr. JFoster was
sitting in the hotel, (tho Sim's hotel,) rumt
niting, in all probability, upon the full
houso ho was to havo, when a stranger en
tered tho room with a bill of play for the
evening's performance in hand. "Are you
tho manager of the theatre?" asked the
stranger. "I am, sir,' riplied Foster. "You
are to play 'Richard III,,' to-night?" "Yes
sir." "Iam and always have been fond of
theatricals, but never had an opportunity of
seeing Riebard III.' " "Very well, sir, come
to-night." "Unfortunately, I leavo town
this evening by the G:-t5 train. Now how
much money would induce you to pla'y Rich
ard III. for me this afternoon ?" Foster
thinking the stranger was joking, replied that
he would do it for twenty-five dollars. The
stranger looked at tho bill again, and inquir
ed what would be the extra chargo for the
Rough Diamond." To carry out the joke,
Foster replicd'Ten dollars." To his surprise,
the stranger "pulled out his weasel," count
ed out thirty-five dollars, and handing it to
im remarked that he would llko to havo the
play commence no later than 2 o'clock,
'ostergot tho company together and related
the circumstance. The idea of nlavintr
Richard" to an audience of one was so ex
cessively ridiculous, and so new in their ex
perience, that they ono and all consented.
wo o clock came and the solitary audience
assembled. Choosing an clicible position.
and cocking tiis feet upon the back of the
seat in front of him, ho waited for the per-
lormance to begm. The bell rang, up went
the curtain, and tho play commenced. Nev
er did actors do better. They all exerted
themselves to give iheir patron an entertain
ment fully worth tho price paid for it, and
they succeeded. The stranger applauded
igorously at different points, and at the
close of the play called tho Itichard, Mr.
Joseph T. tannin, beforo the curtain, who
responded in a neat little speech. A dance
and a song followed, alter which the farce of
tho "Rough Diamond" was played. Tho
audience laughed, roared and applauded,
and left in time to catch the (1:45 train.
Tho bal mumue was first introduced in
Paris iu 1710, but was nearly put an end to
at once, owing to an incident which took
place in 1721. Six men carried a palanuin.
nnd made their way to the centre of the.
theatre, amid jokes of every nature. There
they deposited their burden and withdrew.
Becoming impatient at the unknown not
drawing aside the curtains, a charming dan
leiue in domino peeped inside to invite the
occupant to a minuet. She drew back in
horror. The crowd tore onen the screen.
and beforo them was a corpso, a wan with
a dagger iu his heart. Tho mystery was.
neycr cleared up.
One of tho JIadqia papers, tho Nellgherry
CburiVr, mentions a singular sccuo which
recently occurred In that place while the
Commissioner was holding a court session.
A gentleman entered the court with boots
creaking so fearfully that tho noise called
forth an expression of anguish from, the
Bench. The owner pf the boots consider
ately walked out of court, took them ofr,
and returned holding them In his hands.
The Commissioner, uo doubt touched by tho
kindly feeling thus exhibited, Inquired the
uairie of the gentleman, and desired him to
put his boots on again,
