AHORRIO CRIME.
Mrs. Theresa Donaldson, wife of Milton
Donaldson, an old resident of Msdtid
Beod, Tennessee, was brutally murdered
last Saturday moruiog, by a man named
Henry Murphy. Mrs. Donaldson was 66
years old, and had been bed-ridden nine
months from having bad one of her litnbt
broken. The morning of the murder, ber
aged hutband left tbe bouse as usual, not
having the least suspicion that. In a fence
corner, within two hundred yards of hit
door, lay concealed a fiend in human
shape, who waa to bring deaelition to bit
borne and sorrow upon his gray hairs.
As soon as he disappeared, the lurking
assassin arose from bis hiding-plsce,
walked into tbe house, and when first

position at the foot of the bed. Asking

deliberately stepped around to the bed

FRANCE
Seems rocking in tbe throes of another
near-at-hand revolution. Tbe republi
cans bave failed to establish a republic
failed to restore peace and order; failed to
bring- about any reconciliation between
the jarring factions of a people prone to
anarchy as tbe sparks are to fly upward ;
failed to do anything which the torn and
distracted country needt or has boped for
They have verified all tbe sneering predic
tions ot tbe bonapartlsts and Monarchist
and these turbulent elemenU are again ai-
aertlng themtelvee. It is not improbable
tbat six or twelve months may wltneas s
recrowned Bourbon dolt aud bigot, oo tbe
throne of tbe Louises and Cbarleses; or
aee the psle-faoed, rickety young Prince
imperial, recalled from bis Cblselnurstei
lie, attempting to fill tbe mighty Jack

quiet and prosperity for unhappy France.
Great men, as well as little onea, have
their mislortunes. A notable flluitre
tlon It Just at band. Salmon P. Cbase,
tbe daddy of our green-rag financial system,
aome time before bis death, selected
Judge Wardeu to be bis biographer. The
daughter of "Old Greenbacks," Mrs.
Kate Cbase Sprague, objected violently,
after ber father was safe); planted, to tbe
selection, and made desperate attempts to
get tbe materials of the biography out ol
Warden's bauds. There were aome little
things of a private nature concerning
Chase's life, tbat Mrs. Sprague did not
want to see In print, but which (be knew
would be published if the chosen biogra
pher had his way. But ber efforts were
unavailing, and now Judge Warden sends
his book out, with the whole story of
Chase s private Hie told In an ut'erly nau
seating manner. Most of the work Is ta
ken up in telling eecrets about three wives
that Mr. Chasa had married; about bow

ssry or th organization of our Lexington
Turnvereln. Great preparations bad
been made by our Germsn clilient to cel
ebrate the day In the merry old styles of
tha "Vaterland." Hurts of guests
hsd been Invited, and were expected,
from Boonvlll, Sedalla, Concordia and
all our neighboring towns. The beauti
ful grounds on Grait's HIM had been
cleared oft. titled up with booths, arbors
and rustic tests, and elaborately decora
ted with banners, evergreen! snd dowert.
But Saturday night, the great black
cloudt rolled up their gloomy legiont
on the skies. The oelcsllsl artillery wag
ons were trundled to the front. And
amid sslvos of thunder snd bewildering
dailies of lightning, the mighty floods
cam down. Sunday dawned upon an In
cipient deluge. The whole programme
bad to be changed . A transfer of prepa
rations wu made to Turners' Hall, which
wu literally a bouquet of rat and exqule
it flowers. About ten o'clock, In the
midst of a drenching rain, the Pacific ex
curslon-train came in, bearing hundreds
of guests from Sedalla, Concordia and
other placet along the Hue, and the be
dalia brast band as an accompaniment
Tbe whole party were soon beneath the
spacious roofol tbe Hall. Aspleodid din
nerwu served; and, to tbe music of the
Sedalla baud, the dance went on till train-

friends succeeded io pleasing tbelr visitors,
Is evidenced by the glowing accounts
which are coming back from every direc

columns to telling of the delights or the
occasion; and tbe Sedalla Democrat, of
