^^YRAOD GmLOTIM ? The Strangler of Paris Satisfies Offended Law. Story of His Crime, Flight to America and Capture. Michael Eyraud, tho Strangler. has been executed by the guillotine in Paris. The crime for which Michael Eyraud suffered death was the strangling to death of a notary named Toussiant Gouffe, in Paris, in July, 18S0, with the assistance of Gabrielle BomparJ. Owing to the stern rules of the French administration of justice in such cases, only the most meagre details of the manner in which the stranger facsd death are obtainable. It is certain, however, that he died with fortitude. When the Governor of La Rocquette Prison, accompanied by the chaplain, entered the cell of the condemned man, ne was found to be already completely and neatly dressed. When invited to drink a glass of cognac. Evraud shook his head in declination. All efforts by the chaplain, Abba Faure, to administer religious consolation were declined. When Eyraud had been pinioned to the plank the Abbe Faure bent over him to place upon his forehead a last kiss. With so much of contemptuous movement as kis bonds would allow, and with an air of sullen resentment, the strangler repelled the priest. Then straightening himsslf out Eyraud waited the knife. A moment later the great knife dashed downward and the murderer's head fell away from the body and dropped into the sawdust-filled bucket baneath the platform. Death came simultaneously with the blow of the knife. The body of Eyraud has been handed over to his relatives. Eyraud's Career. Eyraud's career was a deplorable one. At the age of thirteen years his conduct was such tnat his father was obliged to send him to a reformatory. When nineteen years old he enlisted in a Chasseur regiment from which he was transferred to the Foreign Legion. He served in the war between France and Mexico. He deserted from his regiment and joined the guerrillas under General Juarez, to whom he betrayed the position of the French forces. For this crime ne was tried by a French court martial and v condemned to death. The amnesty of 1869 enabled him to return to France. After his return he led an adventurous life, committing robberies and other crimes. Gabrielle's acquaintance he made on the street. She is not really beautiful,but a graceful figure, piquant face and pretty eyes have gained for her the sfeubriquet of La Belle iiohi?ulio Early in July, 1889, the funds of the firm were running low and the thought came of inveigling some rich man to Gabrielle's house and robbing him. Remi Launly, a lawyer of good practice and fifty years of age, was at first selected, but was afterward discarded for Gouffe, who was reputed to be wealthy. The murder was carefully planned. A block and tackle was inserted in the ceiling of the room and concealed by a curtain. J Gabrielle was to playfully place her girdle about Gouffe's neck and pass the ends to Eyraud, who was to be stationed behind the ? curtain. He was to attach the ends to a rope, which he was to pu 1, lifting Gouffe in the air and strangling him. A large sized trunk to hold the corpse was procured and Gabrielle made a bag in whicn to put the dismembered remains. The evening of the tragedy Gabrielle and Eyraud dined at a restaurant near the Madalaine. They drank champagne freely and at half-past seven o'clock arose from the table. Gabrielle went immediately home and Eyraud soon followed and concealed himeplf. It was not Ion? before Gouffe at> psared. according toa^resmsnt. He at once sat down to talk to Gabrielle. The crime was committed as it had been planned. When they lowered Gouffe he was dead. They searched his pockets, but found only ?30 there. After the murder Eyraud took off all of Gouffe's clothes and th m cut up the body, putting the pieses in the trunk, an l left the house, leaving Gabrielle there alons with it. Gabrielle took his. money aud keys. Eyraud went to his office and without a light he hunted about in the dark, but found nothing. He then went baqk to the Rue Trousan du Coudray and thence horns, where he slept heavily. The next day they set out for Lyons with the corpse in the trunk. It was deposited in a ditch and subsequently found. An inquest was held, but the man was not identified. He was quietly buried in a common grave, in which other remains were deposited at the same time. The official who was responsible luckily tied a bit of string around Gouffe's feet and.wh?n an examination was ordered the body was identified by this v meats. Meanwhile Gabrielle and Eyraud came to America. They lived awhile in New York City aud then made their way to the Pucific coast. While there they met a Frenchman named Garanger. He was returning from Japan when he met Eyraud and Gabrielle. Eyraud and Garauger agreed to start in business together and Garanger advanced $1000. Eyraud asked the latter to take his daughter, as he called Gabrielle, back to France. Shortly after their arrival in Paris Gabrielle ^showed Garanger u copy of Le Petit Jouhxal containing an account of theGouffe crime and confessed that she was the Gabrielle mentioued in it. At his suggestion she went with him to the Prefect of Police and told the story of the crime. Then began a thorough search by detectives through Canada, the United States and * Mexico for the chief criminal. Last May he was discovered in the Hotel Rowa,in Havana, where he lived under the name of Miguel Doski. Arrived iu Paris he soon yielded to the close questioning of the police and confessed all his guilt. A remarkable feature of the crime was the attempt to show that the Bompard woman was not morally responsible for the part she bore in the crime; that she acted under hypnotic influence, obeying the suggestions of Eyraud. The defence was ingeniously offered and well supported, and may have had some effect in saving Gabrielle from the . full penalty of her crime. Strong effects were made to secure a commutation of Eyraud's sentence, but without effect A SHORT REVOLT. An Abortive Attempt to Create a Portuguese Itepublic. A tremendous sensation was caused at Oporto, Portugal, by what may turn out to be a revolution against the authority of the Government Three regiments of infantry, comprising a part of the garrison, openly revolted. The remainder of trie garrison, including the Muuicipal Guard remains loyal to the Government. The population of Oporto held aloof from the movement. It is alleged that the object of the mutineers was to establish a Portuguese republic. Shortly after the beginning of the revolt the insurgent troops and a portion of the Fiscal Guards, led by two non-commissioned oflBoers, seized the Hotel de Ville, in Dom Pedro Square, and proposed to there and then declare a republic. However, a strong body of loyal troops, composed of artillery and fusileers, promptly surrounded and laid siege to the Hotel de Ville. When that building was well surrounded the artillery opened fire on it, and soon caused the bricks to fly about the heads nrhrt /lofpndwl thp hllilHincr The bomoardment ot the Hotel de Ville by artillery was followed by a combined, wellled and cleverly directed infantry attack upon the insurgents' fortress. The fusileers behaved grandly, keeping up a rattling fire and advancing at the same time. The result was that, after a feeble resistance, the insurgents surrendered unconditionally. The loss on both sides was slight. The insurgents will be tried by court-martial, and, in all probability, the ringleaders will be shot. Tbe storekeepers have thrown down the barricades from the windows and doors of their houses, and everybody is congratulating everybody else that the insurgent outbreak was not so serious as people at first expected it would be. The number of national banks in the South is 590, with an agigregate capital of 490,763,705. an increase during last year of 104 banks and $10,935,000 jn capital. Only two South irjj national bosks failed during tbe/ear 1890. TEMPERANCE. I TIME TO COME HOME. "Time to come home," thct's what that light At the window used to mean towards night?

HEAVY BUT JUST PUNISHMENT. The old liquor dealer who sold spirits to Dartmouth students received a sentence which virtually places him in jail for the re- 1 mainder of his natural life. The punishment was heavy, but it was richly deserved, for there is nothing meaner than tnis corrupting of youth. College boys are usually eager to < take advantage of any liberty, and many of their escapades are simply the result of high animal spirits, but the encouragement of drinking does not fall under the head of fol- j !y, but of crime. It is so hoped that no j Governor of Vermont will pardon this old rascal, but that he will be allowed to spend ] the rest of his dnys behind bars.?San. Francisco Chronicle. THE W. C. T. V.

The report shows that the total amount of all forms of distilled spirits consumed by wholesale druggists and manufacturer?, elee- < raosynary institutions and retail apothecaries , amounted to 10,976,8-12 proof gallons. This , report is the first ever made which was at all 1 trustworthy, as previous reports of the same j nature were merely estimates made bv < ! various parsons, based upon such miscel] laneous information oa the subject as could easily be secured. 1 Of the total number of gallons of distilled ] i spirits consumed in the United States in 1889, . 6,745,152 gallons of alcohol, 2,029,990 gallons' , of whisky, 1,453,048 gallons of cologne spirits, 1 266,874 gallons of brandy. 222,295 gallons of ; gin, 1S9.5SI gallons of rum and 75,992 gallons ] of highwines, making the total consumption i 10,976.842 gallons. Cologne spirit is used for many purposes ] for which alcohol, on account of containing 1 certain impurities, would bo unsuitable. Thu j is particularly true in relation to the preparation of a large number of fine chemicals. s Whisky, brandy, rum and gin are likewise < used in the^manufacture of proprietary medi- ( j cities and certain pharmaceutical preparaI tions. tinctures and medicinal wines. It appears that alcohol, as such (in soma l I cases dilute l with water), is used by certaift 1 I foreign elements. It is drunk to a great er- j | tent by Poles, Norwegians, Swedes, Finns, Hungarians and Russian?. Large dealers in ' | the Northwest familiar with this particular i trade furnish the information that fully j one-half of the alcohol sold in that section , is drank as a favorite beverage by those | foreigners. Competent authorities in New i York City estimate that about fiftesn bar- j rels of pure alcohol are daily consumed for . I drinking purposes alone in that city, and a i I considerable amount is used for the same | ! | purposes in the coal regions of Pennsylvania i j j and other sections, and a very considerable ] quantity finds its way to the low grogshop-i I of the country, where it is compounded into 1 | low-grade whisky and retailed over the bar. i j The returns sent in from all the variou! ] I sources of information sought by the censu i i^ice have been compiled into variou i tublfs, and show that out of the aggregat-.i 1 10,976,842 gallons of distilled spirits cor- \ suined during 18S9, the wholesale druggists i and manufacturers usad 7,96ti,040 gallons,the eleemosynary institutions used 102,790 gal- 1 Ions and the retail druggists used 2,907,413 i gallons. ( In all the interests and spirits combiued j New York led the States with 1,760,343 gal| Ions, closely followed by Illinois, which is credited with using 1,306,322 gallons; PenuI sylvania is third ou the list with 1,142,941 gallons; Missouri comes fourth with l,u<l,(ib8 gallons, barely leading Massachusetts, which 1 took care of 1,018,0S0, all thesa figures repre sent {.roof gallons. j The eleemosynary institutions of the coun- , | try consumed 2327 ordinary gallons of | j cologne spirits, and of this amount the DIs- I ; trict of Columbia used 1433 gallons. ( In view of the fact that the retail drug- j | gists are often accused of silling whisky, ! I brandy, rum and gin as beverages, the tabl'i I i devoted to the retail apothecareies is espacially interesting. New York druggists used and sold 142,180 gallons of whisky in 18SH; Missouri, 92,150; Massachusetts, 93,958; Indiana, 84,3(54; Illinois, 61,560; Kansas, 25,58i; Iowa, 17,227, and Maine, 10,047. Massachusetts' druggists used and sold 45,233 gallons of rum in 1889, which was forty-five per cent, of all the rutn used and sold by the retail druggists of the country, and her retail apothecaries also lead in the amount of gin they consumed?27,405 gallons, as against New York's score of 19,583 gallons.?Chicuyo News. TEMPERANCE SEWS AND NOTES. Mrs. Mary Clement-Leavitt has formed a Woman's Christian Temperance Union at I Naples. Poverty never drives a man to drink unless he wants to go; but drink drags a man to poverty whether he wants to go or not. Shares in breweries are held by twenty-six members of the English House of Lords and by forty-nine members of the House of Commons. Temp?ranee work is growing in Japan. The W. C. T. U. of Tokio has just held its aunual meeting, and starts the New Year with brightning prospects. j The Carthage (III.) Woman's Christian Temperance Union has rented the Opera House there for public meetings. They siy they "grew tireu of being refused the use of the churches.11 In the German Empire, for the year ISO J, the consumption of beer was lO.'i 3-10 quarts for everv man. woman and philil Tn imi it was only 97 'J-10 quarts. Thus progress is shown. According to the annual report of ArljGen. McKtevtr. tbere are now in operation about seventy post-canteens, where beer and stronger liquors are offered to the soldiers of tbo United States ariny. Since the establishment of the Vienna free kitchens the number of drunkards is said to have greatly diminished. The medical profession testify to enormous improvements in tha health of the lower classes. It is related of Henry H. Norcross,who died in Somerville, Mass., recently, that when a boy in Charleston, Me., he entered the store of a Levant merchant as clerk. The second morning he said to his employer that he could not remain if he was to be required to sell liquor. Some men would have told him to go, but Benjamin B. Vaughan was a man who could appreciate a conscientious clerk. He kept the boy and at once went out of the liquor business. WORDS OF TVISDOtf. Cowardice is patience run to seed. A man gives good advice to his neigh bor and keeps the bad for himself. You occssionally see a man so prctt lie won't marry, but you never see a ma; so ugly he can't. The average man would rather believ he is right and suffer than to be cou vinced he is wrong. Man has only one lire on this oartb and there are grave reasons to suspeci that is one too many. So many girls of sixteen who imagim they are dying of broken hearts cai scarcely wait until the dinner-bell rings All a boy hears until he is grown i that he is in the way when he is no wanted and out of it when he's wanted A well-known confidence operatoi confesses that he can rob three wise men while he is becoming acquainted with i fool. You have only to say that a woman ii pretty to hear some one else in th crowd say: "Yes, but she hasn't mucl sense." Every man is loaded, and there is f fascination about thinking of the destruction he could cause by shooting himself off. Tell the average man that his blood ii out of order and be will purchase f bottle of blood medicine and take oni dose out of it. The man who raises the roof with pro fanity when his tooth aches is the sam< Dee who spanks the baby for crying when it has the colic. For the pleasure of a moment in tell ing a thing a fool is -willing to spend ai hour afterward in coaxing his friend t< promise not to repeat it. How many times in the course of i life a man says he can't stand it, anc bow many times he feels that he has t< stand it whether he is able to or not. How Fowls Converse. ColmaiCi Rural World publishes thi following interesting account of th< language used by the inhabitants of thi poultry yard: "Fowls have undoubtedly a large) vocabulary than any of the other domesti< animals; yet in half a day you will prob ably hear from them all the sounds that they use in ordinary life. But anything Dut of the ordinary is instantly expressed in unusual sounds. I always know whai is disturbing the flock, whether dog,cat, hawk, or a stranger. The cry for s hawk near at hand and a hawk far of] seems to be the same word, but with ? different emphasis and in a different key. Woodchucks get the same greeting a; cats,but louder and more emphatic. Once [ was startled by sounds from the yard which I had never heard before, and, rushing to the rescue, I found a tame red [ox dragging a broken chain trying tc get through the fence. The new sentences insisted of several words not complincntary to foxes. I have never hearc inything like them since. Very tam< iicns often show a desire to talk to you, ind it is usually possible to understand their meaning. Once a Cochin, whost pears and breeding entitled her to a sepa rate perch.came and stood in front of me, ooked me full in the face, and com plained louuiy ot sometmng, i couiu not :ranslate further. Patient investigation revealed that one end of her perch had ihpped down, and Mrs. Buff had no idea jf sleeping on the inclined plane. An)ther time a nervous little Leghorn met lie at the hen-house door fairly screaming and jumping with excitement. ] anderstood, from the cackle which anishcd each sentence, that she had been Jisturbed on her nest. I did not wondei it her ne-v powers of speech when 1 found the nest occupied by my cat and three small kittens. When the chickens 3rst begin to move in the effg, just before hatching, the mother hen siugs tc them a low, crooning song, very sweet ind never heard at any other time. A friend tells me that her canary startled aer one day by au entirely new call. II svas so plainly "Come here, quick 1" that ;he hurried to the cage to find an enor ' J I L i.l_ - raous cat, witn iace presseu against, mt window-pane, staring in at poor Ned?c Sanger sufficiently great to account foi the new call. There are but two ways by which one cau hear animals converse One is by listening to them when thej fire not aware of your presence, always i difficult feat; the other is by winning their entire love and confidence." Where to Put the Stamp on a Letter. It has become a custom which al! thoughtful persons always observe, tc place the stump on the upper right-hauc corner of the envelope, but few peopli have ever stopped to think what was th< reason for this choice of position. Th< canceling stamp and the postmarking stamp aie fastened side by side upon the ?ame handle, and if the stamp is cor rectly placed oue blow makes both im pressions. If, however, the stamp is 01 the lower right-hand corner the post mark falls on the address, and both an iiinmhln while if the stanin is on th< 1 left-hand side, the postmark, which ii always at the left of the canceler, doe; not strike the envelope at all, and a sec ond blow is necessary to secure it. So if the stamp is anywhere except in th( upper right-haud corner, it makes jusl twice as much work for the clerk, anc this, where he is stamping many thou sand pieces every day, is no small matter There has been in use for some time, ii the postoflice in Boston, a number o: canceling machines, into which the let ters, all laced upward, are fed. Thcsi machines, if the stamps are orrectl; placed, do the work quite well, leaving on the envelope the row of long blaci lines which we all have noticed on Bos ton letters. I am not able to learn, however, tha there is any other office in the couotry as yet, which uses these. The Bostoi nflipf* has also, ouite recently, out ii operation a most ingenious machine fo cancelling and postmarking postal cards which differs from the other in th greater rapidity of its work.

I "We have received the following letter from Adelaide from Dr. Mannington .'Caflyn: "I send you an instance of j pluck on the part of a whale. As far as I can learn it is the rarest thing for a whale not to fear a steamer. Captain . Hepworth, British Naval Reserve, of the | steamship Port Adelaide, was taking his ; sights one morning when he noticed a large sperm whale alongside, so closc that his spouting wetted the deck. The creature had evidently lost his 'school' and mistaken us for one of his own species. He remained with us for four days and nights and traveled 890 nautical or 1025 statute miles without a rest, and, as far as one could gather, without food. lie was never more than seventy yards away, and for the most part close against the ship, under her quarter where the draught made swimming easier for him. The length of the am- i mal -was about forty-seven feet. The first day he w^Tvery lively, diving frequently beneath the ship's bottom, on oue occasion scratching himself severely. After that he kept close alongside like a tired Newfoundland dog. "When he did come- irp the children amused themselves by throwing potatoes Into bis 'blow holes,' which were ejected with great force.
