WHLRE THE BEAUTIFUL RIVERS FLOW.
BY FATIJER RYAN.
Oh, I'll sing to-night of a fairy land, in the
lap of the ocean set,
Of all the lands I've traveled o'er, ?tis thft
loveliest land 1're met :
Where the willow s weep and the rosea sleep,
and the balmy breezes blow.
In that dear old land, that sweet old land,
where the beautiful rivers flow.
But, oh, alas! how can I sing? 'tis an exile
breathes the strain,
Of that dear oldland of my youthful love I
may never see again ;
And the very joys that fill my breast must
ever change to woe,
For that dcir pld land, that sweet old land,
where the beautiful rivers flow.
But I'll sing of the lonely churchyards where
our fathers' bones are !aid
yVhefo the cloisters stand, those ruins grand
that our tyrant foes have made :
And I'll strikn the harp, with a mournful
touch, till the clisteniuif tears will show
Fer that dear old land, that sweet old land,
where thn beautiful rivers flow.
And I'll sing of Emmet's lonely fate, nnd of
his lonely grave
Of his early doom, and his youthful bloom,
and his spirit more than brave :
And ah ! how blest ar.d calm his rest, tho'
his grave be cold and low,
Iu that dear old land. Mial sweet old land,
where the beautiful rivers flow.
And I'll sing of Tone and Goraldiue, proud
Kdward true anil tdest ;
They won the crown tbe martyr's crown
and they sleep in shade and rest;
In heavenly mould their names are rolled
tliev died in manhood's clow.

TUAXSFU9IOX KXTR AORDIXATtT A FRAG
MENT FROM TpMCE ARCHIVES.
In the year 1P67, apartments cn tr,iUume
were taken iu the house No. 319 Hue St.
Hcnore, Paris, by a couple, who had Aus
trian passport, and who gave their names
as Jein KinsTov and wife. Kislov pre
tended tq be a musician, in part teacher
a::d part amateur composer. lie was a
person very well informed, haughty and
aristocratic in manners, and striking in ap
pearance. He had a spectral face, set in
a fame of thick black hair, and cut by a
long mustache which hung down to his
breast. His eyes, intensely black, thiil
lingly brilliant, flashed as if they belonged
anywhere rather than to his ghastly white
face, entirely imniobii;, the pallor of tvLich
was heightened by bright carmine lips.
He was emaciated to a singular degree, but
there was nothing of the languor and dull
ness of disease about him ; of the contrary,
a tire and intensity which gave asoit of
passion to all that he said and did. He
dressed entirely in black, with a sumptu
ousness of tsne that was itself impressive.
Mine. Kislov was a less distinguished
person, being a very fair aud florid blonde,
with white eyebrows and a pinkish stripe
above them. She was plump, and the way
in which tho rose bloom was laid on her
glistening white skin gave her something
of the appearance: of a wax doll.
When Kislov bad been living in theTIue
St. Ilonore about four months, seveial cir
cumstances combined to bring him under
the surveilance of the police. Riding in a
cab one dav in the Boulevard Montruartre,
he was set upon by a wpikmau, who as
saulted him with a knife and would ia.ve
killed bim but for tbe pronipt iuteriosition
of a sergcant-de-ville. The man was ar
rested, but Kiuslov persistently refused to
appear against him, and the workman
whose name was Jasz, a Bohemian or
Hungarian was finally discharged. Ho
would say no more than that he knew Kis-
lov, and that he was a monster. Tbe sin- '
gular refusal of Kislov to testify against
an assassin directed the attention of the
authorities to the man and provoked in
quiry ir.to his autecedents. Two things
were found out immediately that his
name was not Kislov, and that ho bought
arsenic in considerable quantities at some
pharmacies near where be lived. A little
further inquiry, however, seemed to set the j
police curiosity at rest concerning Kislov. '
The A ustriau embassy, which vized Kislov's
passport, assured thp. authorities that they
knew bim perfectly well, and were satisjjeii
with the reasons he gave for living incog
nito, lie was a Hungarian nobleman of
high rank and great estate, which be bad
left to come to Paris, under an assumed ;
name, because the ignorant and brutal
peasantry by w hom be was surrounded had
got a firm belief iu their stupid beads that
be was a vampiie, wbo lived by sucking
blood, etc. This would explain tbe at
tempt on bis life made by Jasz, who was
probably an emigrant from bis neighbor-
hood. As for the arsenic, Mme. Kislov

j bad originated in circumstances intimately
connected with bis reputed music mania,
an4 theve were some parts of the business
which were exceedingly puzzling. Sylvain
set to work to investigate concerning Kis
lov's pupils in Paris. He found that Kis
Jov's classes were composed of girls and
young women exclusively; that lie gave his
instructions for pay which was purely nom
inal, but in return exacted the most arbi
tral' conditions, aud was indeed exercising
over his pupils a despotism which was as
bizarre as it was imperious. lie dismissed
them at pleasure and without cause, as

that Kislov was an extraordinary teacher.

guidance.
Tjut( asBylytin presently discovered,
; there was always a culminating period to
j this progress, when it was checked off sud
denly, and tlie relation between master ana
pupil came to an abrupt end. The pupil,
after almost contidential friendship with
the tutor, would be startled by a sudden
coldness on bis part, and a dismissal rude
and ?o peremptory as to admit of no qual
ification; or else, she would be invited to
go to Kirov's apartments, to see Madame,
and to practise some unique music be had
thc-ie upon bis own piano, the tone of which
was incomparable. In the first case, the
pupil was never taught again. In the sec
ond case, the pupil never returned to the
apaitments to practice a second time.
Svlvain personally investigated four or
five of these cases of tbe favorite pupils who
were invited to practise at Kislov's house,
and found that the main circumstances in
each, were yery nearly the same. Take,
for instance, tlie case of Mile. Swartz,
daughter of an Alsatian concierge. Mile.
Swartz was a brilliant blonde, aged seven
teen, with a veiy pretty voice, who was
preparing to go upon the stage in opera
boufle. She was a plump, pleasant crca
turef with a good deal of archness iu her
manners, and a frank insouciant grace
which promised to help ber materially in
her piofessiou. She was the picture of
joyous, rosy health a laughing Hebe of
Saxon descent, with the blue eyes of Fran
conia and the fair hair of an English girl.
.Mile. Swartz was received in Kislov's
house with distinguished courtesy by the
teacher and easy quiet by Jadame. The
room was shaded by curtains, which threw
a ciimson color upon all objects, and there
was a strong tropical odor of perfume,
w hich was rather oppressive. Mile. Swartz
bad an unbounded faith iu and reverence
for bet teacher, who had made ber advance
most rapidly, but this was tinctured with
not a little awe, and she felt, rather confused
and dizzy when, after a period of conver
sation, Kislov advanced to hand her to the
piano. This confusion did not wear off,
but rather increased as she began to play,
at sight, the preliminary bars of a piece of
strange music, Kislov accompanying ber
Upoi. his flute, and Mme. Kislov striking a
few notes upon the zitter. Suddenly there
was a blank, and she was roused again by
finding herself by an open window, seated
in a chair, and Mme. Kislov bending over
ber with kTrjd solicitude. !'Dn you feel
better now?" she was asked. "Do not be
alarmed, my dear; the room was too warm
for you it made you faiut." Then Kis
lov, in bis deep, mysterious tones, sajd :
"Starosta, you bad batter accompany M!!c.
Swartz to ber home in a carriage;' all this
while Mile. Swartz scarcely noticing anys
thing, what with the dizziness and a strange
languor that possessed licr. All she
thought of, all she spoke of, was ber desire
to be taken borne and that was speedily
done.
Mile. Swartz's appearance caused ber
friends the greatest alarm when she was
brought borne. Mme. Kislov explained
that ber frightful pallor was the result of
a fainting fit, and that she would be quite
well again on tbe morrow Tbis? however,
was not the case. Mile. Swartz kept her
bed for ten days, and it was more than
three months before the pallor left her.
beard of still another which was exciting
inquiry in another direction. A Mlle Goi- i
joux-Encbuysen, daughter of a wealthy '
backer, the representative of a Dutch fam-
ily that bad been in business in Paris since
1808, was also taking music lessons from
I Kislov. Mile. Goi joux.Eiicliuysen, asper-
feet a blonde as Mile. Swartz, was more
j spirituelle, l.ess robust, and more nervous,
j She returned from ber single visit to Kis-
lov's in a deep swoon, that was succeeded
by a fever and delirium. In endeavoring
to subdue ber restless tossings the nurse
noticed that the pillow she was lyine upon
bad become stained with blood, aiiv. that
there was a wound upon the back part of
the girl's neck, from which blood oozed
with some r.ipidity.
lb attending surgeon was summoned at
once, and found that the hemorrhage,
though not violent, was very persistent,
and was only subdued ly the use of the
most powerful styptics. He could not ass
certain anything in regard to the wound or
how it was caused, and be was much puz
zled about it, since its character and that
of ti e hemorrhage attending it was singu
larly like an aggravated leech-bite. In the
pursuit of his inquiries be called upon Kis
lov, who, however, denied peremptorily
that she had been hurt while with him, and
the surgeon could not dispute this since be
had detected no sign of such a hurt in bis
preliminary examination of the patient.
He thought it worth his while, however, to
make some inquiries of the police concern
ing Kislov, and the case of Mile. Goijoux
Encbuycu thus came t-o the ears of the de
tective. M. Sylvain called at once to see"the sur
geon, and, after a long conversation with
him, induced bim to visit Mile. Swartz
and the other pupils of Kislov wbo were
similarly affected. About three weeks
later Jean Kislov and wife were cited to
appear before the Juge d' Instruct iop. Syl
vain bad made out bis case.
Tbe accused, on being examined, at first
haughtily refused to be interrogated, but
finally admitted that bis name was not
Jean Kislov, but the Count Hadnaji Jot -utzo
; that his wife was the Countess Sta
noska, and that be lived in Hungary, in
the country bordeiing on the Teis?, near
the town of Madriega. lie denied per
emptorily that he was guilty of any of the
practices attributed to him, and said that
he did not suppose it possible for the au
thorities of the elegant city of Paris to be
tinctured with the ignoble superstitions
which disgraced t;e lude boors of Bohemia,
Hungary and YVallachia. lie said, more
over, that it was no new thing for mem
bers if his family to be accused of being
vrouco'acas and strig;c it was perhaps
part of the price they paid for their ancient
patent of nobility. An ancestor of his had
been murdered by the Vchmgeiicht upon
a very similar charge to the one now
brought against bim ; but he had no fear
before an open tribunal and in the broad
daylight of tha nineteenh century.
The four pupils aud Mile. Swartz testified
to the line of facts already stated, but Mile.
Goijoux-Enchuyseu was as yet too ill to
appear. The burgeon, however, testified
to her general condition and the character
of the wound upon her neck, w hich, though
the probe revealed it to be superficial, was
very unusual in appearance, and be was
almost willing to stake bis professional
reputation that she had been cupped there
or the wound had been sucked. lie bad
examined the necks of the previous wit
nesses, and in each case there were traces
of a small cicatrix in or about tbe same
part where his patient was wounded.
A new witt ess was now called iu the
person of Mile. Leonide Saumaise, a
sprightly blonde with a resolute face, but
which bad the pallor of recent illness. She
testified that, iu obedience to the instruc
tions of M. Sylvain, she had applied to the
so called Kislov lo be taught singing, and
bad been received into bis classes, and
finally iuvited to his house after the legnlar
formula. Her object was to find out the
nature of the practices attributed fo him
for the information of the police. M. Sjl
vain was apprised of her movements, was
near at hand for duty in case Lis sei vices
should be required, ar.d she herself nas
provided with ammonia and s'Jmulnts to
enable her to resist the insensibility which
had overcome all the other witnesses. She,
however, had yielded precisely as the rest,
and recovered from the syncope to find
herself pale and languid as if just bled
popionsly, Instead, however, of suffering
herself to be taken Lomef sbg )jad gone
immediately with M. Sylvain to tlie sur
geon's, who examined her neck. There
was no pain, and at first no appearance of
any wound ; but the microscope revealed
a spot over which a slight filnj of animal
membrance was deftly adjusted. This
was carefully removed, and under it was a
slight lancet wound, the bleeding from
which was checked by some powerful styp
tic, and tiie incisiou closed with the most
consummate art.
At this stage of the proceedings tbe ex
amination was discontinued for the day,
with the understanding that it was to be
resumed on the morrow. Count Jotiutzo
and his wife, after giving heavy bonds for
their reappearance, were permitted to go
home. M. Sylvain, however was deter
mined not to lose sioht of the couple. He
armed himself with a provisional warrant,
and went to a room in the maon gurnie
which he had hired for the puriose of
watching them. This room waa immedi
ately below thesleeping-TOom of the Count
and Counters. Towards midnight Sylvain
was startled by a single shrill shriek in the
apartment above bim, followed by the
sound of a heavy fall. Without hesitation
Sy'tvain traversed the stairs aud burst into
the room.
113 witnessed a scene never to bo for
gotten. 1 he gas-lights were flaming high,
the air was rilled with an oppressive odor,
and 011 the floor, in her night-dress, with a
face calm and sweet as an infant's asleep,
lay the Countess, full length, with, Ibe
Count on his knees beside her, bis lips
glued to ber neck. As Sylvain burst in the
door be looked up, glaring at the intiuder
with a maniacal fire in his eyes, blood
flecks all over his white face, and bis mouth
and chin fairly dripping with fixsh goie.
Sylvain, old agent aud cool officer as he
was, was just paralyzed by the sight.
The monster, or whatever he was, even as
Sylvain looked, dropped his head again,
seized the wounded threat in bis teeth,
and snarled likea tierthrottling hisyictim.
Sylvain drew a pitol and advanced to
seize him, but the Count, with a wild cry
and frantic agility, bounded to meet him,
pressed him out of the way with two
powerful hands against his shoulders, and
darted from the room, Svlvain fiiiug at Lira
in vain.
The alarm was given, a surgeon was
called, but the unfortunate woman never
recovered consciousness. Her throat and
neck were frightfully torn and the died
dv.ring the night.
Count Jotiutzo was never arrested. His
deid body w as found five days later in tbe
woods of Vincennes, aud a pout morUm ex
amination revealed that bis death was
caused by arsenical poisoning. His wife's
blood had killed him, but the piccautions
she bad taken to preserve her own life
were insufficient.
Examination of the rxm showed that
the Cour.t had produced insensibility in
Li patients by using an ethereal prepara
tion, the smell of which was disguise! by
heavy pel lumes, t ucTi as j ismin, e:c. This
preparation was diffused by means of tbe
piano keys. Doubtless, when the pupil
was once oveicome he repeated the doses
as long as the effect was needed. An ap
paratus of caoutchouc was found which
might well serve for sucking a vein in the
neck without injuiiug the iutegumeuts,
and these things, with an t iutn.ent possess
ing grer,i styptiral virtue, and a box of
carefully prepared leaf fat bl.in, showed
that this monster was. deliberately fixed up
for the gratification of his terrible appetite
so as not ta be detected.
Patient inquiry in Hungary elicited the
further facts that Count Jotiutzo' s vam
pirism was known to the members of bis
family. He had unquestionably destroyed
the lives of his two previous w ives by in
dulging his maniacal thirst for blood, and
his family compelled him to marry this
Si y nan arsenic cater, thinking she would
btj'sufg. he was a woman of low origin,
and kuew yhoia the rvas marrying; indeed,
bad compromised w ith him and his fm:ly,
agreeing to take care of him r.nJ keep him
from doing murder, but at the same time
let him have a moderate indulgence of bis
internal apjetite whenever he could con
trive it safely, ou the express condition,
however, that she was to approve the pa
tient, be present at every operation, and
regulate tha quantity of blood taken. Un
der such circumstances she was not enti
tled to much pity, in spite of the terrible
death that had come upon her.
A Medical Mon key. All previous nar
ratives of intelligent proceedings on the
part of animals are thrown into the shade
by .he following account of a medical
monkey, described by an O.iental cones
pondent of a London journal :
He one day saw a monkey holding a
snake by the throat and rubbing its bead
4n the di.t ; but as tbe ground was moist
and damp the snake was not readily killed
by this mode of punishment. Every now
and then the monkey would look mo:?t
ktiowinoly in the face oT tbe reptile to see
if it was dead ; and iu the c iue of one
of these investigations thp monkey received
a severe bite. 1 his angered hj:n, and he
speedily dispatched the spake, but its coils
had hardly relaxed before the monkey
roeled and fell prostrated, and apparently
in all the agonies of death by poison. By
this time an aged-looking monkey arrived
on the scene, and after examining the
bodies of the snake and its victim, he im
mediately waited for some neighboring
bushes, where he collected some leaves of
the plant known as the red cherchita.
These be rapidly and skillfully fashioned
into a sort of a pill, w hich be administered
to his snake-bitten companion, whoscedi
ly revived and walked off with this physi
cian. The story is declared to come from
trust'.vurthy sources.
On Thursday last, a while man and two
negro men all well drepsed entered a
saicon on Bioad stieet, not far from the
theatre, aud the white man called for three
brandy cocktails. The iudustrious dis
penser of spiiituous comfort biiskly com
pounded the fluids aud set before the ne
groes two glasses. I called for three
glasses," said the white man. "Yes" re
plied the bar-keeper ; "I'm sorry we can't
accommodate you, but we only sell lo een
tlemen." The negroes grinned and im
bibed, and then followed their exasiKcnited
friend and brother to the street. Richmond
