Touch Nor jiy Sister’s Picture.—•
The following incident was related by
a Confederate prisoner to au attendant
who, by many acts of kindness had won
hits confidence .
I was searching for spoils among
the d-ad aud dying upon a deserted bat
tle Sold, wlieu l discover and a small lock
et upon the person of a dying boy appa
ll ntly above fifteen years of ago As I
endeavered to loose it from bis grasp,
he opened bin laugtbj eyes and implored
mo by all that was good aud pure, by
the memory of my own mother, not to
rob him of bissistei’s picturs.
“ Ob !’ said ho, ’it wa? her last gift.
I promised her, when she kissed it>y
check at parting, that I should always
wear it near my heart, in life or death!’
Then as throwing his who!# «ou! into a
plea, he cxalaimcd ; “Oh ! touch not
uiy sister’s pietme ! *
“ As the last words faltered upon liis
tongue, his voice hushed in death. By
the dim light of tho stars I hastily
scooped a shall ;w grave and buried h : m,
with his sisters pioiuro ))ing upon his
breast.
In Detroit, last Saturday night
a woman wos obseived trying to force
ojen a small box in front cf the Catho

by a policeman, to whom she con
fessed that it was her intention to leave
in thebrx a small baby which she had
under her shawl The box was labelled
“Orphin Kox,” and was placed theic
for the reception of contribution of mon
ey. The poor woman thought it was a
receptacle for foundlings. She stated
that she was u'terly destitute, and that
her last home was in Norwalk, Huron
County, Ohio. Some money was giv
en her,tod weeping bitterly she folded
her baby in her arms and left the secaa.

some two nodes west of Franklin, Illi

A LIFE OF CHUUK
From llic Expi-i ioais c of a J>t>
iretlvy.
Hue of the most remarkable orrcs
that ever emno within my experience
wns that ol LuoiiJo Hutton. JSIio was,
*u every respect a woman bf the world.
Fascinating, brilliant, dashing, posses
sing un exquisite grace of manner and
rare eonverratiomil powers that charm
ed every one who enme within the
sphere of her influence. Until her
erirrt s were known and her arrest at
tempted, she n igned here nn acknowl
edged belle. Uven the most jvolouslv
envious of her own sex admitted tho
wonderful spoil exercised by her sing
ular and surpassing beauty. An ac
tress, a vocali.tr, it would not have
been no extravagant eulogy to have
called her a prima donaa Tail bo
youd tho average of women, her skm
der, graceful form was modeled mto
an exquisite symmetry that would have
been a sculptor’s ideal. Curling s iky
tresses of nut brown h a ir, shaded a
lace lair and delicate as a child'll
Oieat luminous black eyes flashed
irom beneath the boautifuj lashes with
a strange mesmeric pmver, that few
indeed had the power to resist. This
expiession, combined with her rale in
tel.actual gilts, made her regnant over
many a heart that had never before
fust tho spell of a woman’a charms.—
Bhe had come to New Orleans as a
vocalist. Her engagement was atten
uoU with a success never before eq\inll
ed by the most acoomplidied profes
sional Night utter night tho theater
was crowded with her admirers. Her
appearance was ever the signal of an
enthusiusm all but wild As "the weirtf
light ot the proscenium flashed on jew
el and gein, aud the quoenly form, ra
diant in beauty, stood before the mul
titude, who swayed to tho magic
charm and impulse of tone and voice,
I have ofien fancied her supernatural.
Youth aud age alike felt its influence.
here was a thrill in tho low utti ranee,
that trembled on the air like the soft
vibration of a harp wl>oso strings tho

and stionTth of tone until a rich, de

It was at a time when her fame was
greatest, and tier success in fashiona
ble life most assured, that an event oe
curred which changed it a/I and pre
cipitated a catastrophe which I cannot
even now reflect upon wi hout a s nse
of pa-n. A few months before her
advent here, a scries , f ( Jtc> rrrost start
ling tragedies bad occurred in Mon
treal. An entire family had been
poisoned by a governess ’ The papers
were never weary of the episode of
horrors the recital furnished Tho in
strument of this wickedness had Hod,
and with such consumate skill had her
(light been contrived, that n >t even a
trace ol her wis loft. It appeired that
her beauty ntrd accomplishments had
won the atlections of a youth, whose
marriage with her his parents opposed.
Driven to tlesperation, Harlow Vincent
had, in a moment of frenxy, perished
by his own hand. Over tho corpse of
tier lover tho governess hnd sworn a

Tho s.ory of tbo Cnntutinn homicides

but little impression, as a matter with
which we had nothing to do.
Ono night a gcnt'etnrui returning

His took was disturbed, and his face
wore tin expression of profjund agita

Mr I— handed him a chair, and af

treat.
1 replied that I had.
“Have you no suspicion of tho actor
.U that fearful drama?’’
“Thy governess, of course.”
“ Y es ; but have you no suspicion of
who the governess i.s ?"
“Cerlain'y not.”
*‘\\ oul-i you like me to point her out
to you ?”
“Most certainly I would.’’
And you would arrest her if I did?”
“Certainiy.”

“What?’’ I exclaimed, “you are

“Not I; speak adviscly—l know the
woman ; I am a resi lent of Montreal,

Tho telegrrph Was a; once put in

tho information sought for was ob

the encliunti'use erf the thuater was ]
the murderess of Montreal.
We were warranted in taking her
into custody at once ; but as there was
no probability of escape, wo delayed
until morning. I confess [ felt a
strange reluctance in executing the
duty I bad to perlonn. I admired the
hoantiful tfeature, despite her crimes.
I thought I could understand how
these could have been committed with
out her being w holy bud. Maddened
by the death of one she loved ; hating
with bitter animosity those who were
in a measure, responsible for it, and in

long dark lashes drooped over them.
She sat down at the desk and leaned

then searched for a paper or parcel in
