Genterre, the Patricide.
“Two hundred and sixty-three Rue Co-
quelard, cabby,’’said to the driver a well-
dressed young man who, shortly after mid
night on the 12th of February, 1844, jump
ed into a hackney-coach in the Rue St.
Honore, Paris.
“Two hundred and sixty-three, sir?”
“Yes, cabby. What makes you laugh ?”
“Well, sir, I never tell tales out of
school; but this coincidence is too strange. ”
“What coincidence?”
“Just when you hailed me I had taken
an elderly gentleman to No. 263 Rue Co-
quelard.”
“You don’t say so! How did he look ?”
“He was tall and slender; his hair was
perfectly white. In his button-hole he wore
the ribbon of the Legion of Honor.”
Tlia young man became very thoughtful
upon hearing these words.
“Drive on,” he said to the hackman.
Fifteen minutes later the carriage stopped
in front of No. 263 Rue Coquelard. That
street was an exceedingly narrow one, and
the police said that dangerous characters
were among the principal inmates of the
old-fashioned houses. No. 263 was a very
quiet old building. It was evident that it
dated from the time of Henry IV. It had
but few windows. The entrance door was
arched, and its two wings, made of massive
oak-wood, were studded with heavy brass
nails.
The young man alighted.
“Shall I wait?” asked the hackman.
“No,” replied the young man.
He rang the door-bell. An old woman
opened the door.
* ‘She is not at home, Monsieur, Genterre, ”
she said.
“Not at home?” he asked, in an almost
threatening tone. “Why don’t you get out
of the way?”
“Because you shall not come in here at
all!” she cried, trying to slam the door in
his face.
The young man, uttering a terrible oath,
hurled the old woman back into the hall
way. Then he hurried upstairs and knocked
at a door near the landing. There was no
response, but he heard a low whisper in the
room.
“Open the door, Finctte!” he cried.
Still no response.
The old woman meanwhile ascended the
staircase.
“Get out of my house!” she cried, as she
reached the landing.
In a paroxysm of passion he struck her a
blow in the face that caused her to roll down
stairs.
Then he threw himself with his whole
strength against the door. He burst it open.
Almost on the threshold he was met by a
very beautiful young woman. She was
“en deshabille,” flushed and excited.
“Finette,” he cried, “who is here with
you?”
She paused for breath.
“No one, Alfred!” she replied, trying to
avoid the piercing glances yrhich he bent
upon her.
“You lie, Finette!”
He looked about the elegantly-furnished
room. He looked under the bed; he exam
ined everything. He did not find anybody.
“I heard you whisper with somebody,
Finette.”
“Maybe I was talking in my sleep,” she
replied in a faltering tone. He was reas
sured. He kissed her and begged her par
don.
“Alfred, I am hungry,” she said, disen
gaging herself from his fervent embrace.
“Take me to a restaurant.”
“With pleasure, Finette.”
She put on her shawl and hat. They
left the room. She did not lock the door.
After going down stairs with the young
woman Alfred Genterre suddenly remem
bered that he had left his cane in the
room. He hurried up stairs again, contrary'
to her remonstrances. As he reopened the
door he started back in dismay.
An old man was there.
“Father!” ejaculated Alfred, turning
very' pale.
The old man burst into derisive laughter.
“I did not know, Alfred,” he said, cynic
ally, “that we were rivals.”
“Rivals!”
“And by this time, my eon, I ouppoac
you are convinced where Mile. Fi-
nette’s affections are most sincerely be
stowed.”
Alfred uttered a cry of rage, and rushed
at his father. A terrible struggle ensued
between the two. The noise of their scuf
fling and of the oaths which they uttered
attracted Finette and the old woman to the
scene.
Finette tried to separate them, but to no
purpose. In his jealous frenzy Alfred drew*
a dagger, plunged it into his father’s heart,
and dangerously wounded Finette in her
right breast.
His father was almost instantly killed.
Finette died the next day.
The murderer surrendered himself to the
police, and the Assizes found him guilty of
murder.
He was guillotined with a black veil over
his face, and clad only in a scanty hempen
garment.
nence he throws the goslings into the air.
They start with cries for the centre of the
lake and are answered by the old goose on
the beacli, while the gander, separated from
her and shut close in the crate at the rear,
adds his hoarse call to the concert. The
cry of the old decoys arrests their young in
their flight and they whirl toward the shore,
and pitch down among the wooden dum
mies out in the cove. Meanwhile the dis
tant thread draws nearer, and the geese be
come more visible. The goslings make for
the shore, but are easily called into the blind
by corn fed to them through the apertures.
Now the wild geese are in the water, but it
is hard to bring them within gunshot.
Great care must now be exercised. The
snapping of a twig or the careless poking
of a hat crown above the blint^by some ner
vous novice has often been taken into con
sideration by the gander—the commanding
officer of the battalion—and that flock lost
to the hunter. In an hour or so they can
be brought into range, and, if they are very
stubborn, the goslings can be thrown again.
After a little chattering among themselves
| the goslings start for the deftly-shaken
grain within the stand. Sometimes the
wild geese follow them to the very edge of
the blind, but it is the flock and not the
single ones they want * Fresh caps are put
upon the heavy double-barreled fowling-
pieces, and upon the lighter guns, vhich
; are set near by, ready cocked, to use after
the first volley. The flock. of wild geese
is now only a few rods away, and the muz
zles of the guns are placed through the
twigs of the blind. A dry twig is snapped
to bunch the flock, and, by a never-varying
rule, the right-hand man covers with his
, gun as many as he can of the necks of the
right of the flock, and so on down the line.
Waiting until the geese are most favorably
bunched together, he counts “One, two,
i three,” and at the last word the large, dead
ly shot from both barrels of the guns crash
| into the flock. There is a crackling of
i bones, cries of pain and amazement and a
; flopping of wings, as the fatally wounded
spread out on the water. The gunners
jump to their feet, seize the other fowlin'
pieces as the remnant of the flock rises and
more of them are brought down. The boats
are then taken to hunt the cripples that
j are making for the swamp. If not hurt
too badly the fowl is kept for service as ~
decoy, and for breeding purposes.
Hyurophobia.
W lid Goose Shooting;.
All along the Susquehanna, Schuylkill
and the minor streams in Pennsylvania
the myriads of wild geese, that journey
northward and southward when cold weath
er comes, are found in abundance. To
bring down the swift-moving flock, and to
entice them within shooting range after
they have struck the water, requires skill
and practice. The experienced hunter se
lects a pond where wild geese have been
known to stop either for rest, fresh water,
or sand, for they must have all these, but
can do without either for a long time. Then
he selects a cove or small bay, backed by
boggy swamps, and with a point of land
jutting into the pond, so as to allow a clear
range, right, left and in front. Six rods
back from the end of the point should be
built the blind. This is constructed by
building an entire framework of boards.
These should be covered on the surface to-
ward the water with whatever variety of
evergreen boughs the woods in the vicinity
may tumish. The structiue resembles a
natural growth of bushes along the margin
of the lake. At the bottom of the stand
small openings are left through which the
lines attached to the decoys are manipulat
ed. A rod to the rear of the blind is the
hut of the hunters, in which they may live
comfortably through the flying season,
which lasts from the beginning of frost un
til ice begins to form. About two dozen or
more wooden dummies are scattered about
in flocks over the cove. They look like
living fowls at a distance, as can be testi
fied by more than one marksman, who, af
ter careful paddling to windward, has
emptied the contents of his breech-loader
into their white-pine carcasses. Wild
geese that have been captured or wounded
in previous seasons, and the young raised
from them, are likewise used as decoys.
One of them is placed on the beach at the
water’s edge. A hoop like a croquet wick
et a few T feet behind the fowl, through
which a line passes from the fetter on its
leg to the inside of the blind, keeps the de
coy in place, and, should the bird squat
upon the beach, a vigorous jerk of the line
enlivens it. A little distance from the
goose a duck is anchored, who stands, or
swims, his six hours’ tour of duty with the
regularity of a sentinel; and they are the
best of sentinels for die sportsman, on ac
count of their peculiarly formed eyes,
which never fail to catch the slightest
movement of a leaf, insect or other object
long before the goose has craned his neck
at it. To the rear of the cabin, on the
shore, in a crate or box, is the gander, the
mate of the goose on the beach. Within
the hut are the sportsmen busy at their
cards, with one watcher at the window.
All are warmly clothed in readiness to creep
out into a sleet storm—the best weather of
wild goose shooting. The sentinel duck
utters a cry, the goose cranes its neck and
slants its head, the watcher at the window
carefully scans the sky with his glass, and
discovers a thread-like line faraway against
the clouds. Guns are seized hurriedly, the
blind window closed and the hunteip hug
the ground closely as they creep up to the
stand and hide themselves. One of the
hunters has taken a basket in which gos
lings are kept, and, hurrying to an emi-
Dr. Edward Singley, of Kelton, Pa.
writes as follows concerning the treatment
of hydrophobia: ‘ ‘The chief remedy for this
dreadful malady is Lobelia Inflata, which
stands unrivalled in power and safety in
anti-spasmodic and counter-poison;
saturated tincture (that is, as strong as can
l be made) of the powdered leaves and pods,
or an infusion made by pouring half a pint
of quite hot water on about an ounce of the
powder — steep 20 minutes, strain and
sweeten. Of this or the tincture, give to an
adult one teaspoonful every 20 minutes,
until the desired effect is produced. If
from any cause the patient is unable to
swallow, give by enema one teaspoonful
mixed in a half pint of warm water, to be
retained until the first vomiting, when it
should be discharged, but if it should pass
from the bowels directly after being given
it will be necessary to repeat it. Its effects
should be vomiting and cessation of spasms.
Bear in mind that to overcome the rapid
symptoms is the objective point, and when
that is reached, give only a teaspoonful at
intervals of several hours, to prevent a re
lapse, but not so as to continue the vomiting.
It is necessary while passing tlirougli this
process that the patient be furnished with
plenty of hot stimulating teas to aid vomit
ing, and with the adjunct of hot substances
surrounding the body and feet so as to pro
| duce copious and continued perspiration
! there is much of the deadly virus circulating
in the blood discharged through the pores,
j If a relapse should take place, repeat the
! course. So much for the treatment of the
disease after it is developed. If we accept
as a truth the trite maxim 11181 prevention
is better than cure, ’ or that which will cure
a disease, will also prevent it, then we can
see the primary importance of pursuing an
active course of preventive measures. After
being bitten, the part as soon as possible
should be well washed with strong soapsuds
and a compress of muslin three or four lay
ers thick bound on the wound and kept wet
with flie tincture or tea of Lobelia, and for
the adult patient a teaspoonful or more of
tills medicine should be taken night and
morning, as the stomach can bear it without
too much nausea, in warm sweetened water
and continued for ten days. Animals can
be treated in the same manner when neces
sary. Lobelia grows on almost ever}' farm
in this section of the country, and should
! be gathered every year, while in bloom, so
j as to have it on hand when required. It is
an antidote for the bite of a spider, etc.
j child of mine was bitten by a spider on the
j lower lip. The effect was rapid and alarm
, ing. One teaspoonful was given without
I repetition or vomiting, followed quickly by
[ a subsidence of all distressing symptoms.
The spot bitten turned black and afterward
dropped off. This is not the only case of
the kind treated in this manner with a like
happy result. A case of lockjaw was cured
in about three hours with a third preparation
of Lobelia, a very active remedy adapted to
many diseases. Let me here say don’t be
afraid of Lobelia, when handled • with that
judgment which all physicians ought to pos
sess. I have used it for more than forty
years in a great variety of cases from infancy
to old age, without much regard to w'eight
or measure, so the end was attained. I
verily believe there is no remedy of its power
so easily managed and none, in any of all
the patliys of this progressive age, that can
fill its place in that of disease where its use
is indicated. Its action upon the system is
all pervading, annihilating poison from
center to circumference. ”
Wliat a Goat Did.
An English girl, near Manchester, tied a
string to her toe and let it—the string not
the toe—hang out the window for a gentle
man friend to pull in order that she might
not miss her music lessons. The rector of
the church, it is further stated, hearing of
the arrangement, refused the couple the sac
rament. And this reminds us of a little
story. Once upon a time a young lad}’ who
desired to get up with the lark in order to
go on an eloping tour, adopted the English
girls plan and the lover was to be on hand
at daybreak to give the signal. The string
used for the pedal communication was a
stout cord, and one end w'as dropped out of
the third story .window into the back yard,
and the other end, of course, was attached
to the damsel’s great toe. And the legend
runs that a healthy goat of the William per
suasion arose early next morning to look for
the early worm, as it were, and wandered
into the yard. After eating up all the old
tomato cans, barrel staves, and broken crock
ery ware, he found the string and took that
in as a dessert. As soon as the cord was
drawn taut, the goat stood on his hind legs
and gave the string an impulsive jerk.
The girl awoke. The goat gave another
sudden pull, and the maiden jumped out of
bed with a smothered cry of pain. Then
she stooped down to detach the cord just as
the ridiculous beast gave another violent
jerk, and she lost her equilibrium—and her
toe, too, almost, the cord cutting into the
tender flesh. She sprang to the window’
and called down in a hoarse whisper—
“Stop pulling, Charles—I’ll be down in
a minute.”
Then she made another effort to untie the
cord, but the diabolical goat gave his head
several angry bobs, and each time the girl
gave a cry of pain. Again she softly called
out in the darkness:
“Charles, if you don’t stop jerking that
way, I’ll not come down at all!”
She was answered by another savage pull,
and the cry of anguish that escaped from
her lips brought her mother into the room,
with a-look of affright, and a lighted lamp.
The young lady fainted, the elopement
was nipped in the bud, and the disappointed
maiden's big toe was sore for two weeks.—
The goat escaped.
The man w’ho is always as “ cool as a
cucumber ” is generally as green.
A Tiger Hunt.
On Monday, Jan. 6, tw’O tigers belonging
to the ex-King of Oude, whose house is on
the left bank of the Hooghly, escaped from
their cage, a keeper having incautiously
left the door of their cage open when
cleaning it. One was shortly after killed
in the King’s grounds by a Superintendent
of Police. The other swam across the river
and landed near the ghat in the botanical
gardans. Shortly after landing he knocked
down and mauled Mr. Bierman, one of the
European assistants. Mr. Scott and
had, after first seeing the tiger, gone into a
house, but came out again to look for the
brute, their attention -being momentarily
disturbed by the chattering of a monkey—
an unusual sound in the Botanical Gardens.
The brute seized his opportunity and spring
ing past a native, who was in front of the
two gentlemen, knocked down one; he
then immediately returned to his lair, and
remained in the gardens all day. Owin
to the presence of Stripes in the gardens,
various picnic parties had to return without
landing, though one party foolishly insisted
upon landing notwithstanding contrary or
ders, but was soon obliged to beat a retreat.
Tow’ard nightfall the bn^e was heard giving
tongue near the banyan tree, and shortly
before daybreak it killed two bullocks in a
small clearing a short distance to the North
of the treee. The bullocks were tied up in
the shed; one it dragged outside, and ate
one liindquarter, the other it left dead in
side. Early on Tuesday morning some na
tive shilkaris were in the garden trying to
stalk Stripes; one of them, while peerin;
into a small brake, was severely handled,
and is not expected to recover. Durinj
the day these shilkaris were reinforced by
some gentlemen from Calcutta; but their
efforts to get-near Stripes were unavailing,
and they retired about 4 o’clock and left
the grounds. In the afternoon a machan
was erected in the jungle to the North of
the gardens, near the scene of the kill,
from the top of which the shikaris might
have an opportunity of potting Stripes
should he return to the scene of his feast
the nigh before. To make matters doubly
sure, an awning was improvised on the roof
of a small pucka-house not far from the
kill, and a live bullock was securely tied to
a tree a few yards distant from the house,
within full view of the shikaris on the roof,
some plantain trees being cut away to give
better aim. A speculation had arisen as to
whether Stripes would prefer dead meat to
live; in the course of the night the question
was set at rest. Shortly after six four gen
tlemen proceeded from Bishop’s College to
the scene of the kill, and placed themselves
in positions for a good shot—two on the
machan, two on top of the pucka-house.
It was then discovered that shooting could
not be depended on without something to
eat; one of the party immediately went off
for materials for food and drink, and as he
was returning with a chaukidar distinctly
heard Stripes not far off. He hastened on
with the food, which was soon despatched
inside the puca-house, tables and chairs
being dispensed with. Posts were again
taken up, and soon after the brute was
again heard giving tongue, as he was prowl
ing about in search of food; this went on
for about an hour, the bullock near the
house showing evident sigs of intense
alarm, though perfectly silent. . For half
an hour after this the stillness of a clear
moonlight night remained perfectly un
broken ; all eyes were on the stretch, when
suddenly, with a magnificent bound, a tine,
full-grown tiger was on the bullock. In
stantly a shot was fired, the brute doubled
up, and the bullock bolted off at full speed ;
another shot was now fired, and Stripes
evidently received this too, for he sprung
aside into the jungle about 20 paces, moaned,
and all was still. The shikaris being un
certain whether Stripes was really dead de
termined to spend the rest of the night
where they were, it not being considered
safe in the uncertain light of the moon to
venture in search of him, beaters being at
a discount. Soon after some chaukidars
arrived with lieaters and passed close to
where Stripes was last seen; the men on
the machan then came down and spent the
rest of the night on the more comfortable
roof of the pucka-house, belonging to a cow-
keeper. As soon as it was light all hasten
ed down to have a look, and there sure
enough was Stripes, a magnificent animal,
lying on his right side quite dead. One
shot had caught him on the left shoulder,
the other in the right flank.
An Interesting Experiment.
Not long ago Professor Dorermus, of the
Buffalo medical college performed a
interesting and instructive experiment be
fore his class. A block of sand-stone, such
as is usually employed for window caps
and sills, and about 12 inches square, and
four or five inches thick, had a panel, one-
half an inch deep, sunk in each side. In
each panel was fitted a block, w’hich was
perforated by a piece of common gas pipe,
and this was cemented about the • edges.
The whole was then coated with an imper
vious varnish. Air now entering the pipe
on either side had access to the clean sur
face of the stone beneath the panel, and it
was found that if the mouth be applied to
the protruding pipe on one side, and a can
die be placed in front of the opposite one,
it could very readily be blown out by the
air, which, with very little effort,
forced through the stone. When a rubber
tube was connected with the house gas
pipe on one side of the stone, and a burner
was attached on the opposite side, the sim
ple pressure from the gas mains was suffl
cient fo force the gas through the stone till
it w’as lit at the burner on the opposite side.
When by any means the pressure was in
creased, a very large flame was thus pro
duced. This shows the permeability of
building stone. Brick walls, and the plas
tering of rooms, is much more porus, and it
is readily seen that unglazed tile, or stone,
or brick sewers, afford but little security
against the escape of sewer-gas, and that in
all diseases which owe their origin or viru
lence to noxious gasses, or poisonous germs,
like scarlet or typhus fever, or small-pox,
the septic poison may permeate the walls
of our dwellings, and there remain till fa
voring circumstances develop disease, un
less extraordinary pains be taken to prevent
it. So great is the danger from some
sources that it is recommended that all hos
pitals for the treatment of contagious dis
eases be but temporary buildings, to be
periodically torn down and utterly destroyed,
that the accumulated disease spores may be
thus eradicated.”
Living in France,
The manner of living in France is much
the same as in the South of our own coun
try. The early meal, which takes the place
of our breakfast, consists only of a roll and
cup of coffee or chocolate. The second
breakfast, as it is called, is much like our
dinner, which is eaten between five and
eight o’clock, never consists of less than
five* courses, and often of more. Wine is
an indispensable article with the French
man. Be he young or old, rich or poor, he
must have his wine. The favorite kind
seems to be claret, which may be pur
chased at the exeedingly reasonable price
of fifteen cents per bottle. Holding the
fact in mind that a dinner in Paris is no
dinner at all without its accompanying bot
tle of wine, we are surprised to find so lit-
e intemperence here. Even on New
Year's Day, the day of the year in this
country, the city was perfectly orderly and
quiet, nothwitlistanding the crowds of plea
sure seeker who thronged the streets from
early in the morning until late at night.
Giving the French people all due credit for
their orderly conduct in general we cannot
but deplore their utter disregard of the Sab
bath. They seem to have no idea that
there is a commandment, “Remember the
Sabbath day,” Ac. Stores are open, and
people are making purchases the same as
week days; and any Sunday, by glancing
across the streeet, we may see a family
seated at the window engaged, and seem
ingly very much interested, in card play
ing, for it seems to be their regular Sunday
afternoon recreation.

Color Blindness Defined.—Mr. William
Pole, writing In Nature, thus explains
the true limits and nature of color
blindness: In the first place we see
white and black, and their intermedi
ate or compound gray (provided they
are free from alloy with other colors)
precisely as others do. Secondly,
there are two colors, properly so called,
namely, yellow and blue, which also,
if unalloyed, we see, so far as can be
ascertained, in the normal manner.
But these two are the only colors of
which we have any sensation; and
hence the defect has been given by
Sir John Herschel the scientific name
of dichromic vision. But now comes the
difficulty of the explanation. It may
naturally be asked: Do we not see ob
jects of other colors, such as roses,
grass, violets, oranges, and so on? And
if w’e do*see them, what do they look
like ? The answer is that we do see all
such things, but that they do not give

Cuts and Sores.—Accidental cuts
from knives, cutting tools, scythes, etc.,
are more likely to occur on the face and
limbs than on the body. All that is
requisite in general is to bring the
parts together as accurately as possible,
and to bind them up; this is usually
done by adhesive plaster when the cut
ceases to bleed. Nothing is so good
for this purpose as paper previously
washed over on one side with thick
gum water, and then dried: when used
it is only to be wetted with the tongue.
