A piece of plug t.tbacca A life sentence in tha penitentiary. Not a very stiikiug analogy, surely, but thereby hangs a tale. “I followed the business of a detective for a long timsaid an old hand at the busi ness as be puffe.1 his cigar in a snug corner of the stat ion house, “but one of the mt^t peculiar casus I ever struck was in a Georgia town not more than a hundred miles from Atlanta. "One day I received a telegram from a prominent young man of the place, notify ing me that his father had lie<*n murdered and robbed in the streets, and asking me to come and work up tie.- ease. The next train liore me to the town, sial as 1 stepped off tbe cars I met the town marshaL He bad a badge an 1 a s.irt uf club stick, and 1 asked him if be was tbe marshal. “ ‘Yes, and I am looking for an Atlant.-, detective.’ “ ‘I guess I'm your man.' “ ‘All right Let's get into the 'bus and drive up town.’ “ ‘No. I’d rather walk up and talk about the case.’ “ ‘Well, I'm in a burry. The coroner’s in quest is going on, and I am tbe first witness. “That remark struck me at once, and put me on niv guard. “ ‘Who do you think did it? “ ‘Well, 1 have no idex I have not hear? any guesses made yet. but I think you hao just as well turn yom attention to tlie ne i groes. No white man did that deed.’ “ ‘Why do you thiuk so? “ ‘Because no white mau would have taken everything from a mail's pockets, as tbe mur derers did from his.’ “ ‘What did they take? “ ‘Everything. They even took a little piece of tobacco, about that long—measuring on his Huger—and you know no white mau would have cleaned him out like that.’ “ ‘Did you search the body? “‘No; his son told me alxmt it, is how 1 came to kuow.’ “By this time we hail readied the place where they were holding the inquest, and cautioning him no* co reveal my ideutity, I left him. “On the next day I met the murdered inau's son. Hedid not know that I was a detective, I and I began to ask about the murder, and among other things casually asked what the robbers had taken. “ ‘Why, they took his watch, his knife, the buttons out of his shirt and his pocketbook. Just cleaned out his pockets.* “ ‘That all? “ ‘So far as I know. They just took every thing they could find, it seems.’ “ ‘Did he have much money? “ ‘He must have had a considerable sum, as it was Saturday night.' “ ‘What did you say just now about that piece of tobacco? “ ‘I didn’t say anything about it, but since you have mentionedit Irememlier, now, that he must have carried a small piece of plug to bacco. Ho was a very economical man, anu ho always kept the crumbs cleared out of hir boxes in the store during tbe week, but on Saturday night he would cut off a jittle piect and put it in his pocket to chew on Sundays. That was his practice, invariably, and he must have had a piece with him, but none was found wbeu we searched his pockets.’ “ ‘That is a little strange, and maybe the murderer or murderers took that also.’ “ ‘They must have done so, for it was such a rule with him that I know he did not leave the store without his Sunday piece of plug tobacco.’ “I left the young man and set to work in good earnest then. The marshal came to my assistance, and was very solicitous about catching the criminals. Wo scoured the town and community for same clew, but the more we sought the more tbe mystery deepened. “For two days we worked liko beavers, and at the end of the second day I became fully satisfiod in my mind that I bad the thing dead. Going down town I found the marshal and placed him under arrest Then I arrest a barkeeper as his accomplice. The news spread like wildfire, and the citizens were al most ready to mob me, but I had the two men committed to jail. “Wlieu the trial came on the twelve jurerr ; were not out twenty minutes before they brought in a verdict of guilty of murder with a recommendation for mercy. Tho rec ommendation was urged and carried by the twelfth man, who would not agree to render a verdict of murder pure and simple on cir- j cumstantial evidence. “In delivering sentence the judge told the marshal that were it Dot for the recommen dation, which left him no discretion, he would put the extreme penalty of the law I upon him, so well satisfied was he of the guilt ! of tho prisoner at the bar." “And he went up for life?’ “Yes, and spent six years in the peniten tiary. But Governor Stephens pardoned him out as soon as he was elected. You see be believed in the innocence of his client, so he used the pardoning power to set him at liberty.’ “And the piece of tobacco was the first clew?’ “Yes, as soou as the marshal mentioned it, the idea occurred to me that he must have known a great deal about it to have been able to describe even the size of it, although he did not search the pocket, and had no reason for knowing that the murdered man carried such a piece uuless he took it from his p<x?ket after the murder.”—Atlanta Constitution Quite a Large Dinner. The Paris correspondent of The Inquirer, in describing a diuner that recently took place in Paris, presents these interesting fig ures: The kitchens were installed in the cel lar, near Cours-la-Reine. Nothing can be more astonishing than tho size of the kettles for the vegetables. For soup there were four kettles, two containing 250 quarts each, one 300 quarts and tlie fourth 330 quarts. Each kettle for vegetables would hold 125 quarts and tho three coffee pots were capable of furnishing 800 quarts of coffee. There were served 2,800 quarts of soup, 6,000 pounds of i fl-li, 5,000 pounds of tenderloin, 1,200 turkeys, 800 ducks, 27,000 bottles of wine, 4,000 bottles of mineral water and 3,000 pitchers of ice water. There wcro employed 109,000 plates, 20,000 forks, 20,(XX) knives, 16,000 tablespoons, 15,000 coffee spoons, and 52,000 glosses.

A New Color Test. I ----- An Institution Doing----- lu reference to the “color test” for the eyesight of railway men, Dr. H. E. Led iard, of Carlisle, surgeon to the railway companies in the district, has devised an instrument which ho thinks will serve all purposes. It consists of a holder, with a revolving disk of colored glass —purple, mauve, green, yellow (the equivalent of a white signal lamp), blue and red, which, it will be seen, include all tho colors used od railways The holder is held in front of a light, and the surgeon examines tho color sight of the candidate by revolving tlie disk and bringing tbe separate colored glasses in front of the orifice through which the flame shines—thus exactly imitating the usual signal lamp. He suggests that the addition of a piece of smoked glass would make the colors much the same as they would appear in a fog. It is not convenient always to test on an actual line of railway; but a test with this instrument, in which the examiner can change the colors quickly, would at least weed out those who are ¡xysitively color blind, — English Me clianic. __ _____________ Lincoln’s Funeral Car.

An attempt is beiDg made to establish a Spanish school at Belleview, Fla. One reason why we are falling so behind European nations with the South Ameri can trade is that we are such poor lin guists. Our merchants and commercial travelers who go to South America almost never understand Spanish, while those from Europe usually make it a point to learn that language before going to South America. There are few schools in this country where a student can learn South American Spanish. It is proposed to found at Belleview such a school, and to make it also an institution in which Cuban and South American students can get a thorough musical education, to obtain which they now go to Europe, WHAT 23 HOURS.
