DISCOV LP.ED TOO LATE.
It is a pleasant summer afternoon.—
Groups of citizens tiro standing in the
market-place of tho old Belgian town of
Antwerp, and around a large buildiug
which appears tc possess for (hem some
extraordinary attraction. Tho building
is tho town hall, and the day is tho tlav
of tho trial of Leopold Winster and
Chariot Lutzan, for the murder of Maria,
Countess Kstevan, by poison.
“It will go hard with tho miscreants,
I warrant me,” says a stout burger in
the centre of the group, by whom ho
seems a reckoned per.-onago of va-t im
portance, “and rightly enough, too, I
say—for wo want no poisoning oo>ju
rors in this fair city, neighbors.”
‘You are in tho right of it, Master
Van Noordon,” replied another wiseacre
and the mob, easily swayed, muttered
their assont.
“i would I had the hasting of that
old witoh,” shrilly exclaimed a stout,
rosy cheekod dame, with a pair of car
rings saucily di [duped. “1 wouldn’t
let tho roast lack hasting, I know.”
A sally of laughter greeted this pret
ty display ol woman’s spite, and a
loud, hearty voice cried out:
“Ay, trust a woman to run a woman
down if she bo in trouble. They say
wolves wiil eat a woui ded comrade;
but, for my own part, I think tho spite
of wild beasts is nothing to tho spite
of woman against woman ”
Tho dame who had spoken turned
angrily towards the lust bold speaker
and he would may hap have noine off
with a scratched face, but for a loud
shout from that part of tho crowd
nearest the hall, which signified that
the trial was over.
“The sentonco ! the sentence 1!
Are they guilty ?” cried a thousand
voices.
“Yes —yes—Guilty !”
“And tho sentence ?”
“The man to be burned alive ; the
woman to bo confined for life !”
“Hurrah ! hurrah 1”
The air rang with a cheer from tho
whole of the vast multitude, which
spedily turned to a storm ot Lueses and
groans, as the unfortunate condemned
issued from the judgement hull, strong
ly guarded.
The trial had been short, but the
evidence was supposed conclusive
This is what find passed.
The respee'ed Dr. Fruchen had tos
flfied that he had boon called in sud
denly oil the last day of July to attend
a lady who had been taken ill, and was
at tho.hou-e of the male prisoner.—
He bad inquired for a suitable nurse
for her, and was exceedingly sum k
bv the readiness with which tins f
- | risoner volunteered to fill that
situation He had sent in two draughts
bein'! simply anodynes, hut quite
harmless, after taking one of which the
unfortunate lady won fountl dead
That she had taken tho dose there was
no and übt, as the almost empty b Itle
was lound with hut n few drops left in
it. which, wdi n tested by himself,
(Herr Fruchen,) were found to con
tain uqunf rtis The second bottle,
with its contents untouched, was also
found to contain the same poison
From that it was inferred that, had
the fir 4 not taken effect, tho murder
ers intended to administer a s eon !
doso “Poi haps,” added the doctor,
“as there could bo ’ittle doubt that tho
first draught would prove Mai, the
second might have been intended for
Don E-tovnn ”
It was distinctly [.roved that (lie
sole inhabitants of the house " here the
alleged murder took place, besides the
luckless couples, were Leopold M int
zor and Chariot J.utzun ; and thu quan
tity of gold contained in the valises of
b,,th the unfortunate lady and gentle
man supplied ample motive for their
murder by a man so well known to be
avaricious and miserly as \\ inlzer.
The latter was a singular charac
ter but one common enough in the
age in which these events happened
ife was a half scientfic investigator
and half an impostor. He studied na
ture and imposed upon man, fancying
that his superior knowledge gave him
the right to deceive his fellow crea
tures. 0 By those who lived near him,
or came into contact with him, ho was
looked upon with some respect and a
great deal more dread. He was known
everywhere a« necromancer—as one
who dealt with awful mysteries for
awful purposes. His manner, I,is
dress his gloomy house, his laborato
ry, tho curious animals from tar-off
countries with which ho surrounded
himself, his cultivation of strange
plants, were, in the minds of the vul
gar, only so many proofs of his dcal
jrg with the powers of darkness.
On the night of the murder, tho ne
cromancer hud, by his own admission,
aqaufortis in his possession. Further,
he confessed that contrary to his usual
habit, he sat up all tho night. In the
morning tho aqualortis was missing
and belli the bottles destined for tho
unfortunate lady were provod to have
contained it. lheu the lemalo prison
er admitted that tw icffiluring tho night
she wen. to the laboratory to her mas
ter (although she averred that the last
time he was fast asleep.) and as. she
also admits that her hand placed tho
first bottle on the deceased s table, it
was inferred that tho master consulted
with the servant, prepared tho poison,
and then left it to tho old woman to
administer itlur a consideration ol part!
of tho gold to bo acquired. Thus she j
became an accomplice. This evidence
was deemed conclusive, and the judges ;
were unite 1 in condemning the prison-!
eis Thus the old man w’as sentenced
to be burned alivo in the market-place, \
and his ashes to be scattered to the ,
four winds ; and the old woman, in ’
consideration for her ago and sex, bo -
sides having boon, it was supposed, '
to some extent, made a tool of, was
DAWSON, GA., FRIDAY, FEIIItUAHY H, 1807.
awarded tho mitigated punishment of
imprisonment for life.
Within a week tlio horrible sentence
oil the old man was carried <ut in all
its awful details, he to the lust protest
ing his innocence. Indeed, (rum the
tune of tho murder un'il lie was actu
ally tied to the slake, ho spoko and
acted like or.o under the influence of a
dream Hut the populace were under
nnotner impression. They fully be
lieved him guilty, and when lie was
brought out to dead), behaved in a
savage manner, that moved the aged
victim 1 1 to rs lie died confessing
that ho had been guilty of many wick
ed, impious impostures, but solemnly,
called heaven to Witness that he was
guiltless of the foul crime of mure! r
Dame Chariot, as soon as she hoard
that her poor old master was actually
dead, I' ll into a swoon which lasted
eight and twenty hours, and upon her
recovery flora it, it was found that tho
poor creature’s mind had given away.
Her sentonco was then partially rev k
ed, arid ns the old necromancer had
letLno w ill, and his money was confis
cated to tho State, the town council al
lowed the old woman (who was harm
less) to occupy her late masters house,
under tho care of a middle-aged wo
man named Gretchen as her attendant.
To this house, then, about three
months from the beginning of our sto
ry, the two women repaired.
On the very first night of their occu
pation of the old dwelling, the old
dame and her attendant sat in tho
kitchen, where three months back tho
worthy housekeeper had consequential
ly tended the basting of tho fowl
which was to be Donna EstoVan’s last
meal on earth Perhaps even across
her weakened intellect there dawned
some faint recollection of this for she
s.t sorrowful in her chair, looking va
cantly at the wood fire, and watching
the smoke curl slowly up tho broad
old-fashioned chimney.- Her fri ndly
attendant was busy pro; nring cups
and saucers for their early tea, und
stole now and then a glance at tho
poor soulh-ss sufferer. At last Dame
Ch irlot broke the silence.
“Gretchen, was I ever here b-fore?”
Willing to soothe her, Gro chon re
plied readily:
“No, no, dame; why should you
think that ? This is the house given
you by your good council, you kn>w.”
“Council, couucil 1” repeated Char
iot, vacautly.
“Ay, dame ! but come, draw and
drink litis hot cup of e ffot, it will chc- r
y..u finely, I wariaut me.” And wor
thy Gretchen commenced cutting bread
and butter. Tucy bad nearly finished
tin ir meal; when a sudden noise caus
ed bo'h to bok up, aid Gre'chon
scrcani'-d aloud. Not so the elder wo
man ‘ .-ho looked on as if body and soul
were about to part; with all her foicul
ti.-s (such as fhoy .cnj ffX''<t on an ob
ject in au ob.-curo o wner ol the old
kitchen.
It w is a largo black ape, intently on.
g -ged in pouring the contents of sno
[filial into another. During this occu
pation, ho grinned and gibbered with
devilish sati •focii n, quite appalling.
A flood of light bur t in on the cb ill
, and brain of the unfortunate Dune Char
iot. .She sprang from her feet ns if
eloctrifi and.
“Bertram ! Oh, tho m-wikey ! the
monkey ! My poor murdered master.—
There ! The money—the murderer !”
•*nd pouring out incoherent sentence af
ter sentence, foil seiiseb son tho floor.
The true uturd. rer was found
In the hurry and tumult, tin the night
of D ima Erevan” dearn, nobody had
thought of tho apq who had hr three
months since the tragi, a! event held en
tire possession of ihe premises, living
how and where he culd. This ape was
one of the animals which Wiutzor had
in his little menagerie, and fruin Lis
half human p rope ns bios and his tame
ness, bad been all .wed to nve through
the hou. c and garden at will
It is well known that monkeys will
most faithfully aud accurately imitate
the tfansaotions of human beings. Ou
the night of the supposed murder the
bl-.ck ape had been watching old Wint
zer in tho laboratory until sleep over
came the latter.
It will be remembered that the vial
of aquafortis bad been unfortunately
left by the ncoroiuancer on tho table.
The ape, eager to imitate tho motions of
his master, had seized the vial. Ibit
there was no other vial at hand in which,
to empty it, for tho remainder were lock
cd up.
Suddenly a thought flashed on the
monkey’s mind. There wire vials out
side tho door on tho brackat, and he
would use those. As tho charlatan had
left open the door, on account of the
heat, this was easy and the apo accom
plished his design.
This performed, tho apo, wth tho sa
gacity #hich distinguishes his tribe
when they have born perpetrating mis
chief, left the bottles be had tamper
ed wi'h in the place whero h i had found
them, and secreted the unlucky vial
which had been the csit-c of all the mis
fortune.
Dame Chmlot, at midnight, found
the bottles precisely as she bad placed
them, and, unconsciously, was the agent
of destruction to the poor Spanish lady.
That was tho first act of this tragedy.
But unfortuuately, tho second act of
the tragedy, in which poor old Wintzcr
had played tho chief part, not bo
recalled. Tho curtain bad lallun on it
forever.
Happily the third aot was never per
formed
Gretchen rpeedily gave the alarm ‘and
the house w is soon full of sympathizing
townspeople! The ape was secured, and
it was found that ono of the two vials
which ho hold when tho woman observ
ed him, was tho identical ono which had i
hold tho equafortis.
For the eooond time, Antwerp was
in an uproar, anl tho upshot tuny
he readily guessed. Our old friend,
Dame Chariot, received, her reason,
(which tho shock had brought back
such oases are not rare,) and sho livod
to see a hundred ycais. Tho ropentaut
townspeople would hav* orocted astatuo
to tho memory of the poor necromancer,
who was the victim of a monkoy’s freak,
but they ohanged thrir minds and did
still better. They raised a competence
for the now happy Chariot. As her
master had left no heirs, tho State made
over his wealth to the old lady, in part
compensation for her many trials, and
she rosided till her death in the old
house.
Tho turned ill lock. Tho houso be
came fortunate. “Madam Chariot,” as
she was then called, sent to Vonioo for
her groat-nephew, a famous jeweler, to
como and set up his trade in Antwerp.
Probably, with tho old lady’s guilders
aid florins in view, ho did so—lived
with her nearly twenty years, till she
died in her hundredth year, when it
was found tnntshc had left all to him.
The g ldaiifiih amassed an enormous for
tune, became ultimately ennobled and a
member of tho Htatc (Jouncil, and his
heirs in Antwerp have, to this day, for
their arms, a monkey grasping an orap
ty vial, with tho motto, “Out cf mischief
rose fortune.”
Thus whs a monkey the oauso of the
deaths of three innocent people, and the
founder of a nholo family’s prosperity.
Mmihiaok.—The importance attach
ed to the institution of marriage is not
at all an exagerated ono. To select one
from tbo mass cf mortals with whom
you are henceforth to share the good
aud ill of life in common; one whoso
tastos, pleasures, interest and all ctioos
are to be yours whether your twin jour
ney be along tho pleasant and flowery
valleys of exi. tonco or up ite steep and
precipitous path; one whose morning
and evening prayers are to ascend wi'h
your o'vn God; one whose unclosing
eyes are to greet the morning sun when
yours do ; one who is to cat at the lame
table, drink of the same cup, and to be,
in a word, like the‘lamb whiou Nathan’s
beautiful parable de-cribeg as ‘lying on
tho poor man’s bosom;’ and all this is
not for a few years only, but till death
part you. To select a partner like this,
ought, indeed, to be a grave, almost an
awful task.

In the tittle town of D"rr, wlii ih is
situated on tho Cumberland river, in
Middlo Tennessee, th<ro lived some
years ago, ami ccoentrio and intempor
ato old bachelor, by the name nf Kings
ton. O.i one occasion, when prostra
ted on bis bed by excess, and suffering
acutely from thoso stings and horrors
pecluiar to his situation, he sent for
one of bis old boon companions to como
and visit him. Shyraok, for that was
the othet’s name, came duly to Kings
ton’s room.
“What’s tbo matter, Kingston V
‘Shyrnck, shut tho door
‘Yea, my dear follow - ’
‘Lock it.’
‘Eh V
tho do >r.’
‘Certainly, my dear boy.’
‘Shvraok, I am going ta kill myoolf.’
‘My dear fellow, let mo ontroat you
not to do it.’
‘I will.’
‘No, no I OLligo mo and don’t.*
‘Must do it.’
‘D n’t it’ll bo the death of you.’
Shyraet was quite cool and jncoso,
little dreaming that s i terrible au event,
was actually going to take place.
Kingston had, as the last coccnlrio aot
of Lis lifo, taken a mallet and chisel to
bed with him ; and now, with desperate
resolve, be poized the extraordinary
tools of death, and in an instant drove
t!i3 blade of the chisel into bis breast.
Tlio hair r sa up.m Hhyrock’s bead,
aed fright spread like a sb- ot of snow
over the face.
“Kingston ! Kingston, my dear fol
io*—you oid raical, Kingston ! do you
want, to have mo bung? Hold! dou’t
die till I call Somebody I’
Sbyrack ran to the door, and oallcd
liko a madman to some people across
the street.
Hello ! hero, says ho, mister! all you
stupid people, make haste over hero or
there will be a murder ?
The people crowded into Kingston’s
house.
‘Don’t die, Kingston I dont chisel roe
that way. Don’t die till you toll them
who did it.’
‘I did it myself,’ Kingston articula
ted.
‘Thero, that will do; now, my dear
follow, you may die,’ replied Shyrack
taking a long breath and wiping the per
spiration from his forehead.
Aud Kingston did die in that extra
ordinary way, as a uuioido that was al
most a murder.
Hunting for Gold.— A young man
from town was seen iu a villagc.tt oven
ing, looking about attentively in the
gutter.
‘What are you looking for ?’ said tho
man whoso shop was vis-a-vis.
‘Some pieces of gold.’
‘Oh, I will assist you,’ and out ho
came with a lantern. Tho neighbors all
eamo with lanterns, and were 1 u ly
grouping in the gutters at this news. Af
ter a time, during which the young man
let them runiagc by themselves, the first
spokesman said :
‘Are you sure yon lost gold pieces
here ?’
‘I said nothing about losing any mon
ey ; 1 wanted to find somo—that ia the
difference.’
He was careful to make himself scarce
after this praoticlc joke.
‘Tray my lord,’ said a gentleman to a
late respected and rather whimsical Eng
lish judge, ‘what is the distinction be
tween Law and Equity Uourts ?’
‘Very little ia tho end,’ replied his
l ndship; ‘they only differ so far as time
is oonoerned. At common law you aro
done for at cnee ; in equity you aro not
so easily disposed of. Tho former is a
bullet, which is instantaneously and
most charitable effective; the latter is an
aug'or’s hook, which plays with its vic
tim before it kilh it. The one is prusic

Yielding to tho pertinacity es three

‘Ah ! but in Eugland wo express in
the other way.’
‘Very possible; but unloss you express
it in tho hotter way I Lave described to
you, l shall take no notice of tho invi
tation.’
The Englishman evidently very angry
repeated the invitation as directed.
‘I am happy to ncc'pt tho invituthn
of tho Duchess,’ said the artist.
‘They will give ten peun Is,’ added the
nobleman
‘There sgain, is an ill-bred manner of
treatiug aih licato salij 'ct,’ said Vivior,
‘I should have made no bargain in ad
vance, and should have loft it to the
discretion of the Duchess ; but, since
you have so unceremoniously overstep
ped tho barrier, permit me to say that
‘ten pounds ia not enough.’
‘Ah, but in England we only give ton
pounds to an instrumrntiit. To singois
like Grisi or Mario, wegivo fifteen.’
‘I shall not. play for any price less
than twenty-five pounds sterling.’
“I)o y.'u know,’ said tho Englishman
knitting hin brow, ‘twenty-five pounds
arc six hundred an 1 thirty-five franoes
of your money ?’
‘My prico, notwithstanding.’
‘Well, you shall have it. But do
your host mil ho punctual.’
‘I shad bo ready when tho Duchess’
Ccrriage enlls for me,’ said Vivior.
‘Eh ? do you oxpoct a carriage to bo

England.’
‘I am very sorry, Vit Ido not ride
in hackney coaches, and if madam, the
Duchess, does not choose to send her
own carriage for mo, I shall not go
‘Very well,’ said tho Englishman,
lookhig perfectly amazed, but submit
ting in spite of hire, elf, to the tone of
authority and dignified manners which
the artist assumed ; ‘the carriage Bhall
be sent for you.’

Power of Women in Turkey— A
man meeting a woman in the street turns
his bead from her; as if it wore forbidden
to look on her, they seem to detest an
impudent woman, to shun avoid Lor.
Any ono, therfore, among the Christians,
who may have discussions or altercations
with turks, if ho has a woman of spirit,
or a vnrigo for bis wife, sets her to revile
and browbeat them, and by these means
not unfrequontly gains bis point. The
hightest disgrace and J«hnmo would al
tend a Turk who should rashly lift his
hand against a woman ; all he can ven
ture to do, it is to treat her with harsh
and contemptuous words, or to marsh
off. Tho sex lay suoh s ress on this
privilsgo, that they aro f equenoly art
to indulge thoir passion to exoes--, to be
most unrcfsonable in thoir olaims, and
violent and irregular in tho pursuit
of them. They will importune tease
aud insult a judge on the bench, or
even the vizor of his divan. The ofScors
of justice do not know how to recen
their turbulanec ; vnd it is a general
observation that, to get rid of them, they
often let them gain their ciusc . — S r
