Coroner's Inquests. Acting CoronerS. A. Norris held an inq;iest Saturday over the body of Albert Montgomery who died at St. Charles, on Friday the 14tb, from the f ffects of a pistol shot, inflicted by W. M. Cooper, ou the 7th instant. There were no witnesses of the difficutly, and the evidence was quite meagre and uusatisfaciory. The shooting occured during the dinner hour, while no one was in the gin bouse except Mr. Cooper and Montgomery. The negro hands, who were eating dinner in the engine room, stated that they heard no sounds of an altercation, and that they thought the sound of the report of the pistol was made by some piece of machinery falling Mr. Dwight Cooper, brother of Mr. W. M. Cooper, was eating dinner in his office some little dis'ance from the gin-house, and his attention was attracted by a noise in the gin-house. He did not take time to walk down the S4eps, but jumped from the door to go to the gin bouse. He heard the report of the pistol as he started tswards the gin house. On reaching^the gin-house he inquired the meaning oT' tbe. pistol shot and was informed, by h?3 brother?a that he had shot Montgomery. Mr. W. M. Cooper has made no statement eoncering the shooting. The verdict of the jury was that Albert Montgomery came to his death from the effects of a gun-shot wound inflicted by the bands oi W. M. Cooper. On Sunday Mr. Non is held^an inquest over the bodies of four little negroes, children of Joshua W. Weathers of CUremont, who were burned to death on Saturday night. Weathers and his wife left the children in the house at elven o'clock and went off on a visit. Later in the night one whole end of the hodse wa3 discovered to be in a blaze. The first person to reached the bouse, after several attempts, broke down the door and eotered but the children were already dead. The fire is supposed to have been caused by the explosion of a lamp, which was left in the corner of the house found to be on fire. There was no chimney to the house, and ibe cook ing was done in the yard The children were 8, 6 2 years, and 7 months old respectively. The parents of the children s<em greatly gtieved over the terrible accident. The verdict of the jury of inquest was in accordance with the fac<s as stated. Tt:?3 is the most terrinle example of the criminal carelessness of leaving children shut up iu a house with fire, or lamp, that has been reported in sometime. ? ? ?- ? ? - The healing and purifying qualities of Salvation Oil tender it the be?t article for the speedy cure of ulcerated sores. 23c.

The first woman created, according to heathen Greek mythology, was Pandora. She was made of clay by Vulcan, at the request of Jupiter, who wished to punish the impiety of Prometheus by giving him a wife. When this woman of clay had received life all the gods vied mak ing her presents. Venus gave het beauty' the Graces gave her the power of captivating; Apollo taught her music. Mercury instructed her in eloquence, and Minerva gave her the most splendid ornaments. From these presents, re ceived from the gods, the woman was called Pandora, which intimates that she had received every necessary gift. Prometheus was too artful to marry, this woman and could not be captivated by her charms, but his brother, Epi metbens, who was not so prudent, mar ried her instead, and upon opening rf box which she presented to him there is sued from it a multitude of evils, which dispersed themselves over the world ancf still continue to afflict the human race.
