Great consternation was madded by this
tragic event, which was the -more unexpec
ted, us the lose alluded to id the above note
had never been made public.
The deceased had been held in great es
teem over the colony as a man of strict hurl
' or and probity, and was universally lamen
ted. liis'attuelied widow, after endeavor
mug to fuithfully fulfill his lust-wishes, found
tier grief too overpowering; to permit her
to mingle longer with the world, and she
took the resolution to couseurate her remelt'.
mg days to the service of religion. Two
minute after the sad end el* her husband,
abe entered a convent, leaving the nephew
uf the late merchant, a phy,rifien, the charge
of completing the. distributiin of . tise effects
of Fretiois among hie creditors.
A minute examination of the rapers of
the defunct led to the discovery of the period
when the unfortunate merchant had been
robbed, and this period was found to corres
pond with the date of the disappearance of
a man named Tulin Muon, being in the em
ployinent of Frenuis. Of this man, on whom
suspicion nut unnaturally fell, nothing could
be learned on inquiry; but shortly after the'
division of the late merchant's property,
:demi re-appeared in the colony; and when
taken up and examined respecting the cause
of his flight, he stated that he lied been sent
by his master to France to recover certain
sums due to the merchant there, in which
mission lie had been unsuccessful. lie fur
ther averred that if Clodomir Frenois, in his
existing correspondence, had thrown any
jurious suspicions upon him (lioint), the
whole was but a pretext to account fur the
deficiencies of which the merehout was the
cause and author. This declaration, made
by a Ul4O wbs seemed to fear no inquiry,
stud whose wurdly circumstances remained
to appearance the same as they had ever
been, had the effect of silencing, if it did
nut satisfy, the examiners; and the affair
soon fell, in a great measure, out of the pub
lic recullemiun.
Things remained for a short time in this
condition, when one titortikg Mr. Willaitu
Burnett, principal eredit.u. tof the late Chriu
mir Freucis, heard a knocking at his gate
ut a very early hour. Lie culled up ono of
his servants, who went down and opened
the door, and immediately returned with the
intelligence that a stranger, who seemed de
sirous of keeping his person concealed, wish
ed to speak with :kir. Burnett in private.—
Mr. Burnett rose, throw on his dressing.
gown, and descended to tho parlor. Ue saw
there a stranger of tall person, seated in an
easy and familiar attitude upon a sofa, with
a number of the Morning Post in his hand.
Thu back of the visitor was turned to Mr.
Burnett as he entered. Botcher suprised to
see a stranger conduct himself so like an
old friend ut the house, Mr. Burnett said
aloud:
"Sir may I beg to know your business
with me?"
The stranger turned round and advanced
to salute his host warmly and courteously.
Mr. Burnett started back, and uttered a
loud exclamation of surprise and alarm.—
Well he.might; for before his eyes stood hit
friend and debtor, Clodomir Frenois, whom
he had beheld nearly a year before, a mur
dered corpse, and whom he himself bad fol
lowed to the gravel
What passed at that interview, between
Mr. Burnett and his strange visitor, remain
ed a secret. Mr. Burnett was observed to
issue several times, pale and agitated, from
his dwelling, and to visit the magistrate
charged with the criminal process of the
colony. In the coarse of that day, while
John Moon was regaling himself with tea
under the palm-trees of his garden aloag
with s Circaasian_ferctsle, whom be had par
ches-WI some time previously, he watt arrest
ed, and taken to prison by the °Seats of
justice,
On the following day he was brought be
fore the criminal court, accused with rob
bing the into Clodomir Frenoie, the crime
being conjoined with a breach of trust and
violence. Moon smiled at the charge with
all the confidence of a man that had noth
ing to fear. The judge having demanded
of him if he confessed the crime, the accus
ed replica that the charge was altogether
absurd; that clear testimony was necessary
to fix such a delict upon him, that so far
from there being such evidence producible,
neither the widow of the deceased, nor any
one person in his service bad ever heard
the pretended robbery even once mentioned
by Francis doting his life.
"Do you affirm your innoeencer ' repeated
the judge gravely, after hearing all the oth
er had to say.
"I will air ouch my innocence." replied
Moon, "oven before the body of my late
master, if that be nbeemary."
[Such thing often took place under the
old colonial low.]
"John Moon," said the judge, in a voice
broken by tome peculiar emotion, it is be
fore !par late master that you will have to
uss ,, rt your innocence, and may God make
the truth appear!"
A signal from the judge accompanied
these words, and immediately a door open
e4l, and Clodomir Frenois, the suprated sui
cide, entered the court. He advanced to
the bar with a slow and 'deliberate step,
having, his eye camly, sternly fixed on the
prisoner, his servant. A. great sensation
was caused in the court by his appearance.
Uttering shrieks of alarm and horror, the
females present fled from the spot. The no
cused fell on his knees in abject terror, and
shuddering, confessed his guilt. Fur a time
no voice was heard but his. However, as it
became apparent that a living man stood be
fore the court, the advocate of the prisoner
gained courage to speak. Ile demanded
that the identity of the merchant be estab
lished, and the mistery of his existence be
explained. He said that the court must not
be biased by what might prove to ben rem
accidental likeness between a person living
and one deceased, and that such an avowal
as that of the prisoner, extracted in a mo
ment of extraordinary te:ror, was not to be
held of much weight.
"Bet're being admitted here as an accu
ser or witness'," continued the advocate, ad
dressing the resusciated merchant, "prove
who nod what you are, and disclose by what ,
chance the tomb, which so lately received
your body, mangled with bullets, has given
up its tenant, and restored you to the world
in life and health?"
The firm appeal of tho advocate, who con
tinued steadfast to his duty under circutn
stances that would have closed the lips of
most men, called forth the followinA nar
rative from Clodomir Frenois:
"My story may soon be told, and will
suttee to establish my identity. When I
discovered the robbery committed by the
accused, be had . then fled from the Island,
and I speedily saw. that attempts to retake
hint would prove fruitless. I saw ruin and
disgrace before me, and came to the resolu
tion terminating my life before the evil day
came. On the night in which this determin
ation was formed, I was seated alone in my
private chamber. I had written the letter
which was found on my table, and had load
ed my pistol. This done, I prayed for fur
givness from my Maker for the act I was
about to commit. The end of the pistol
was at my head, and my finger on the lock,
when a knock at the outer door of the house
startled me. I concealed my weapon and
went to the door. A man entered whom I
recognized to be the sexton of the parish in
which I lived. lie bore a sack on his
shoulders, and in it the body of a man new
ly buried, which was destined for my neph
ew, the physician, then living with me.—
The scarcity of bodies fur dissection, as the
court is aware, compels those who are anx
ious to acquire skill in the medical profession
to procure them by any possible secret
means. The sexton was at first alarmed
when he met me.
"'Did my nephew request you 'to bring
this Ends?' said I.
'• 'No,' replied the man; 'bat I know his
anxiety to obtain one for dissection, and
took it upon me to offer him this body.—
Fur merey's cake.' continued the sexton,
'do not betray me, or I shall luse my situa
tion and my fami4'e bread.'
"While this man was thus speaking, a
strange idea en'ered my mind, and brought
to my despairing bosom hopes of continued
life and honor. I stood for a few moments
absorbed in thought. and gave to the resur
rectionist the sum which he bad expected.
Telling him to keep his own counsel, and
that all would be well, I sent him away and
carried the body ti my cabinet. The whole
of the household had been sent out of the
way on purpose; and I had time to carry
into execution the plan which had struck
me. The body was fortunately of the
same stature as myself.and like me in com
plexion. I knew the man; he bad been a
poor offender, abandoned by his family.
"'Poor relic of mortalityl' said I, with
tears in my eyes, 'nothing which man may
do can now injure thee; yet pardon in. if I
rudely disfigure thy lifelese substance. It
ist to prevent the ruin of not one but twenty
families!. And should Intee.tes attend my

At this portion of the m erchan t's narrative
the most-lively interest was excited in court,
and testified oven by tears from many of the
audience. Frenois then proceeded:
"I then stripped off my clothee nod dress
ed the body in them. This accomplished,
I took up the pistol, and with a baud more
reluctant than when I applied it to soy own
person, I fired it close to the head of the
deceased,and at once caused ench a disfigure.
ment as rendered it impossible fur the
keenest eyes to detect the substitution which
bad been u:ade.
Choosing the plainest habit I could got,
I then dressed myself anew, shaved off the
whiskers which I was accustomed to wear,
and took other means to alter and disguise
my appearance, in case of being subjected
by any accident to the risk of betrayal.—
Nezt mottling saw me on board a French
vessel on my way to a distant land—the
native country of my ancestors. The expec
tations which had led mete the execution of
this scheme were not disappointed. I know
John Moon was the man who robbed me,
and who now stands at the bar of this court,
and that he had furinol connections in this
island which would, in all probability, bring
him book to it as soon as the intelligence of
my death gave him promise of security.—
In this I have not been disappointed. I
have been equally fortunate in other respects.
While my unwurthy servant remained hero
in hunginary safety, I have been successful
in discovering the quarter in which, not
daring at first to betray the appearance of
wealth, he had lodged the whole of the
stolen money. I have brought it with me,
and a:eo st.fficient proofs, supposing his
confession of this day to be set aside alto
gether, to convict him of the crime with
which he stands charged. By the same
means," continued Cludotnir Frenois, with
a degree of honorable pride, in which all
who heard him sympathized, "will I be en
abled to restore my family to their place in
society, and to redeem the credit of a name
on which no blot was left by those who
bore it before me, and which, please God,
I shall transmit unstained to my children,
and say children's children."
The news of Clodotnir Frenois' re-appear
lance Spread rapidly, and the high esteem in
which his character was held, led to a uni
versal rejoicing on the occasion. lle was
accompanied from the court to his home - by
a demo multitude, who welcomed him with
prolonged shouts. It would be vain to
attempt any description of the feelings of
his wife, who was thus restored to the be
loved being fur whose sake she bad quitted
the world. She was released front her
ecclesiastical vows and rejoined her husband
no more to part till the grave really claimed
the one or the other of them.
The Experience of a Cotton Broker—An
Unpleasant Mule Hide.
The correspondent of the St. Louie Demo
era!, with General Grant's army, gives the
following amusing account of a cotton bro
ker in the neighborhood of Lagrange, Ten
nessee. Ile says:
The experience of a Mr. , Cones who was
"gobbled," as it is „novr yclept, near La
grange, five or six weeks ago, was relieved
by some flashes of humor which may be an
apology for the very emphatic language
which was used by the actors.
Cones, in company with two or three oth
er buyers, had bought some cotton out at
Moscow, twelve miles from Lagrange, just
before our army marched from the latter
place, and as General Quinby'e division had
just removed from there; they thought the
sooner they got tho cotton in to Lagrange
the better; consequently four of them, Ix
sides the drivers of the teams, started out
after it. Cooed was the only one of four who
was not armed and was not on horseback,
he riding in ono of the teams. They sue.
ceeded in getting the cotton, and hurried
back until they came in sight of the Union
pickets at Lagrange, and then Cone's three
friends, thinking the teams were out of dan
ger, left him, and lode on to town.
Only two or three minutes after they had
loft, and as the wagons went down into a
hollow, out of eight of the pioketguards; five
guerrillas disshed out of the woods, and were
alongside in an instant. Mb! Every one
of the teams halted as though they had run
against a stone wall. The next instant the
muzzle of a revolver was at the ear of every
one of them, Cones, included, who was ri
ding on the cotton.
"Are you armed!" said the guerrilla who
held his pistol at Cone's head.
"No sir."
"Then get down and unhitch them mules,
and turn 'em around d—d quick!"
It was done in the time specd.
Guerrilln—"lfave you a match! I want
to touch off this cotton."
Cottes--- 4 'N'o sir. I a a Nd to Rey I
haven't."
Guerrilla—" Then git onto that mule,
quick:"
In an instant. Cones was mounted, on
what be says was "a wonderful sharp-back
ed mule."
Guerrilla (giving the male a terrific slash
with the. wagon whip)—"Now d—n you lick
them males upl. Make 'em gol Give 'em
rho aderl"
Aod away they went at a pito% which to
Cones on his razorback mule, he thought
moot oplit him in two before many miles,
three guerrillas behind lashing the mule at
at every jump. Five miles or more they
want at this pace. and not another word hod

out of the main road into an old and unfre
quented road, that wound its zig-zags
through ono of the densely wooded creek
bottoms. **Halt!" said the guerrilla, audits,
who gave the command corameaced hurried
ly to relieve himself of some of his accoutre
ments as though he was about to go to work
in earnest at some devilish deed. The piano
was lonely and. fitting to such morderoui in
tents, and Coned says ho felt a cold sort ctf
chill run down the full length of oven -his
long legs.
Guerrilla (drawing the cork ont of he
canteen)— "You look lido a pretty n--d good
feller. Let's take a drink; and fur fear yen
might think it's piton, I'll drink lirstl"
And suiting the action to hie words, he
placed the canteen to his lips, and turned
hie - race up in the position of one making
astronomical observations. After a lung
pull, he passed the canteen over to Quasi,
who thought it "mightn'•t be piton." and
imbibed.
Ouerrilla—"Novr,d 7 - r n you, lick up then
mules; give 'em thunder! Hurry upl"
And each injunction be emphasized on
the rear of tho flying mules with his wh;p.
They bivouacked in a thicket that night.
but early next morning began their journey
nt the same pace, and toward evening of
that day they galloped into a rude.looking
camp, which turned nut to be the nest of
Richardson and his guerrilla band, within a
few miles of Fort Pillow. In a few minutes
Cones was marched up before Colcirrel
Richardson. After a number of questions
as to what was his business, whether lie had
not served against the Confederate States,
the., Richardson said:
"Well, sir, I'll parole you."
At the moment of “ptrole," the guerrilla
who had been the most prominent in the
capture, and had invited Cones to ••drink;'
began to remonstrate.
Guerrilla—" Why, Colonel, you ain't a.
gain' to parole that d—d cotton-buyer, am
you?"
Richardson—" Well, I've got to parole
him or shoot him; and (turning to Cones
inquiringly) you'd rather be paroled than
shot hadn't your
Cones—"Yee, d—d in I hadn't; but :don't
vrat.t to take another such a ride on that
mule."
The parole was soon written, and, much
to his astonishment, without beit4 robbed
of his money and watch, he was told that
ho was at liberty to walk back to Lagrange,
forty miles. In an hour afterward he started
and soon after leaving the camp he was
startled again by the command "Halt I"
Ile halted, and out stepped the guerrila who
had been most prominent in his capture, and
who bad gone away sulky because the COO
net would not shoot "that d—dcotton•buyet"
instead of paroling him. -
Cones was unarmed, and began to hal.
serious apprehensions of what WA 1 to follow.
when the guerrilla acid: "Old feller, let's
take a drink!" Cone's heart felt lighter
immediately. Su did the canteen.
During the neat three days ho footed it
back to Lagrange, but ho never looks at , a
lean, sharp-backed mule without a shudder.
New Inflammable Gas
At a late meeting of the London Chemi
cal S,ciety, Mr. Parrett stated that, some
time ago, while MM. Buff and Wohler were
making some experiments upon electrolytic
decomposition, they employed a plate of the
mobil aluminum as the neg,ave termbal of
the battery for the decomposition of water;
and as soon as the electric current was es
tablished, they were surprised that, instead
of pure hydrogen gas being evolved, as is
usual with a platinum plate, a gas wra
evolved which inflamed spontaneously. Up
on investigation, this gas was found to he
composed of hydrogen and 'Manua, the
latter being an impurity in she alusunium
plate. Several proces•ee I ava recently
been adopted fur preparing this gar. Sib
eated hydrogen and the silicate of magne
sium were found to furnish the best..tenteri
ale fur producing it. Dr. MOM= recom
mends the following mode of making it:—
Take 80 parts of fused chloride of magnesi
um; 70 parts of silico flooerid of potassium.
40 parts of Podium, cut into small pieces,
and 20 parts each of the chloride of potas
sium and sodium. These ingredients are
mixed together dry, placed in a clay crucible
and quickly heated to redness.
The product thus obtained if a silicate of
magnesia (Mg 2 Si.) When this is tritura
ted in a mortar with hydrochloric (muriatie)
acid, it gives off an abundance of gas, which
keeps up a lively combustion - in the mortar.
A bottleful of this gas, prepared by Dr.
lloffman, was let off by a tube through a
trough containing dilute hydreachlorio acid.
and as it escaped in bubbles at the martins
of the liquid, these infhtmed immediately
and spontaneously when they came in cote
tact with the atmosphere. Each bakipe
produced a white flame, like that 'of phsle
phoretted hydrogen. The combustion fcirm
ed flakes of ankh', which resembled ftein:es
of battling zinc. This is one of the m o st
dangerous gases, and further investigation
may prove that many mysterious fires, di.
reedy attributed to spontaneous combus
tion, way be due to it. Dr. lialFatan
be
lieves it is a marsh gas of the silicon series.
