IN AURIGA, A Paris Texas, deepen:Ai seys : Hundreds of people came to tine city to await the arrival of the peed having ouatody Henry Smith, A colored man who had aesseilted A young e gal, and en nom' toy, when the Texas & nen& Mein from the north arrived the crowd, numbering many thou, send people, surrounded the depot, When the tra,in arrived A rush was made for ere cotteh in whice the negro was °opened. The deputy eheriffs awl the guard of Penis citizens, who eocoinpenied tho negro item. 'Texarkana'drew their revolvers and attetoptedto prevent the mob from taking their prisoner. The guard was quiekly overpowered, however, and a rope was thrown about Smith's newer. He was dragged from the train and Jimmied to• the scene of his crime, .A.11 along the route he wee pelted with missiles struok with fists anti other - wen maltreated, He was tied to a stake, and after being eubjected to every conceiv- able torture he AVAe cremated amid the howlieg of the mob. All the citizens of the town and surrounding country, irrespec- tive of clam or color, took part in the lynching. Worda to describe the awful torture in- flicted upon Smith cannot be found. The negro, for a long thee after starting on the journey to Paris, did'not realize hie plight. At lain, when he was told he must die the most awful death by slow torture that human mind could conceive, he begged for protection. He was willing to be shot, and asked Marshal Shanklin to do it, but he was told he would be burned to death. His agony was awful. Re pleaded and writhed ID bodily and mental pain in anticipation. Scarcely had the train reached Paris when his torture commenced. His clothes were torn off piecameal and scattered in the crowd, people catching the shreds and put- ting them away a.s mementos. The child's father, her brother and two uncles then gathered about the negro as he lay faetened to the torture platform, and thrust hot irons into his quivering flesh. Every groan from the man, every contortion of his body, was cheered by die thickly packed crowd of 10,000 people. The mass of beings was S00 yards in diameter, the ecaffold being in the centre. Before eurning the feet and legs, the hot irons, plenty of fresh ones being at land, were rolled up and down Smith's stomach, back and arms. Then the eyes were burned out and irons were timid down his throat. The men of the Vance family having wreaked vengeance the crowd piled all kinds of combustible stuff around the scaffold, poured oil on it and set it on fire. The negro rolled and wriggled and toned out of the mass, only to be pushed back bythe people nearest him. He tossed out again and was roped and pulled back. Hundreds of people turned away, but the vast crowd still looked calmly on. People vrere there born every part of this section. News of the burning was sent to every town, and anvils boomed forth the at- zouncement CANNTRATIESin AT SEA. A Starving Norwegian crew Rill and Devour One ot Their Number. A Hamburg despatch says: The three seamen from the Norwegian ahip Theklia who were rescued and were landed here by the Danish barque Herman, were 'rendered insane by- their sufferings in the rigging of the founderaig vend. Two of them re- covered sufficiently to tell the story of the 'neheklees voyage. She was in heevy weather, they say, from December Mid, when she left Thilanelphia. Her decks were flooded almost constantly. The deck houses and renewers wept away, and the steering apparatuswas broken. Then, when it was found that there was no hope of bringing the ship into port, the master, mate and eight members of the crew got away in a beet. The other boats had been. smashed by the waves before they could be lowered. Nine men were visaged to remain in the rigging. They -were unable to get food from below, and five of therremade insane by exposure and priva- tion, jumped overboard. The other four xemained aboard frorn December 22nd till January 7th, the day of the rescue. On the 3.3th day lots were drawn to determine who of the four should be killed and eaten. The lot fell twice in succession to a Dutch sailor, and he was strangled and devoured raw by the onaer three. The only drinking water the seamen got was the dew they licked :from the ropes. TELE iftIoDISEPR TRAGEEE. Win. Donnelly Tells of theFate That Has Overtaken Certain Parties. A London despatch mys Mr. Wm. Donnelly, of Appin, one of the survivors of • the Biddulph tragedy, writes to the Free Press to -day concerning the reeributive just Vat which has overtaken many of them who participated in the murder of hie parents and family. He says "Yes, in thirteen years thirty-two persons, who were either directly or indirectly concerned in that slaughter have met their just deserts ; •-.and as none of them have been murdered, a direct visitation from Almighty God must nave been the cause. •T will not be personal, but will say several were killed by the Lon- don, Huron & Bruce train. More were found dead in bed without any apparent cause. More fell into a well, more chopped dead, more died suffering the agonies of a mad dog, and a few are in the asylum, while the majority of those living are homeless and not woith a dollar, though well off thirteen years ago." Row to Guess a Woman's Age. A. volume of 'memoirs has just been pub- lished giving the experieeces of a French President ot Assize, says the London Yews. It bears curious testimony to the inaccuracy of women on the subject of their own ages. As the writer's information ie from the calendar, he speaks only, of the criminel classes. The only instances in 'which be Omni correot dates given by women are whert they are -tinder 25 or over 85. At 'these periods of life, he says, they are to be trueteci.

A despatch last nights from Montreal says : Mr. John J. Mandouald, the well- known contractormeho has been dangerously itt from paralysis, with other complications, at the St. Lawrence Hall for the past fort- night, had a relapse to -night and is not ex- pected to live until morning. Mr. Mac- donald first entered into busieess as a con- tractor with his uncle, Alexander Mac- donald, better known as "Bxg Aleok," in the firm of Alexander Macdonald & Co. This firm built a considerable part of the Great Western Railway, and while thus engaged Mr. Macdonald resided at Hamilton. ILs next raest important undertaking was the construction of aection 5 -on the Inter - colonial. He also compleeed all other corn tracts on the same road. Afterwards, as a partner in the firm of Manning, Macdonald, McLaren & Co., he built settion 'B on the Canadian Pacific Beltway. This section was situated in the rocky region north of Lake Superior. In business, Mx. Macdonald has always borne the reputation of an exact upright man, and in social life he is esteemed by a wide circle of friends in all parts of the Dominion.

THE RALEIGH MURDER. olioemaA Deselis Tells Hovr MS Mate Was Beaten to Death, THE JURY VISIT THS SOENE. At the rtqueet of Mr. Dounlem County Crown Atterne.y, he mid Banton ead con, muted to go wieh Oauatnbo Atexauder Mc- Donald to execute a warrant bold by that officer for the erreet of George Ereeman, on a oharge under the Charlton Act, Me - Donald the night before heti tried to take the man, bus had been beaten off by the colored mann wife. They arrived at. -Free- mares house on the 13th conceesion of the townehip of Raleigh, about 15 miles Mem Chatham, on the afternoon of the 24th ult., at 5.30. When George neve the offtcers he ran from the house crying "murder in a loud voice. He was ordered to halt, but paid no attention. Taking across the field which divided his pre -mitres from those of Jerry Freemen, his father, George soon reached the parental home, and there, with his two brothere, Alexander and William Henry, made a stand. He held a pistol in his hand. A mime onnunan. The three officers came within fifteen feet •.` and were ordered to step, CI — ----you, if you don't go away we'll shoot you," George exclaimed, The capers stood, Dezata in the centre, Renkin at his right and McDonald at his left and a little in the rear. The first named said to George: " Have reason, now, Freeman, we don't mean to harm you. We won't hurt a hair of your head if you only come quietly." The words were hardly out of hie mouth when George raised his revolver and began firing. He shot a number of times. Dezelia was struck on the buckle of his belt, on the leg, on the coat tail and above that spot on the coat. HE WAS IN III,TIFORM, as was also Rankin. Rankin at the first fire started to go off around a meat house close by, probably to get be- hind the colored men. He had not disappeared more than five seconds when • Dezelia heard him shout "Pete," as if in distress. The call was promptly responded to. Dezelia reached the fence, which moan • ated him from the crchard into which Rankin had run just in time to see Alex- • ander and William Henry Freeman chasing hie mate. The former had an axe, and the latter some instrument with a short handle, that looked like a grub hoe or an adze. ¶I hey both struck at Rankin repeatedly. Finally the policeman fell. Dezelia mounted the fence and drew his revolver which, up to this time he had forborne to use. He fired rendent William Henry, but the man did not fall. Another shot atruck Alex- ander and he went down, but he managed to rise again and DEALT RANKIN A TERRIFIC BLOW on the head with his axe. The policeman drew another bead on the colored man, but missed him, and then his gun refused to work. At this moment George rushed up to where the policeman lay stretched out on the snow Ulleteled011e. He held in his hands a billet of wood. Raising it aloft he brought it down full force on the head of the prostrate man. " 1 could distinctly hear the sound of the crack," said Dezelia, ID describing this occurrence, "and I was standing 64 feet away." The whnle affair, from the time the shooting started, occupied only a few minutes. Lemuel Washington. another member of the party, attacked Dezelia with a club while George was after him with n 0er. There was nothing for it, therefore, nsit to retreat, and Ihzelia did so, covering his retreat with his useless pistol. ICDonald all the time the affray was in progress did not &inert himself ; neither he nor Rankin had any weapon. THE COUNTY CONSTABLE REPT HIS DISTANCE ID the field, and when it was all over gob into the rig with Dezelia and drove back to Chatham. Dezelia, hewever. made an at- tempt to get eossession of Rankin's body before he left, but was ordered off with oaths and threats. Conneelfor Lemuel, Mr. Pegley, Q. 0, tried to make Dezelia admit that the alleged assault was ooly "fooling" on the part of the colored man, a notion which the police - Mark indignantly repudiated. Then he tried to unsettle the witness as to the identity of Lemuelotaying he could show that his man was miles away at this time. Dezelia, how- ever, maintained he • was not mistaken either as to Lemuel •or as to the other prisoners'George, Alexander and William Henry. He also identified the axe, axe - handle and stove -wood stick, the latter being clotted with blood containing human hair. Denali& swore to thepresence of five men in front of the house, the only one he was un- certain about being the old man Freeman. THE JURY TO VISIT THE scion. Mr. McPhillips,, counsel for the three alleged murderers, endeavored to establish that George did not know what the officers were, they having produced no warrant. Mr. Douglas, crown attorney, said in speaking of this that whether there was a warrant or no warrant, good or bad, it made no difference. • Ib would not ab all justify the killiog. At 12,30 the coroner asked for an ad- journment of the inquiry till Fride,y,morne ing. In the meantime, he said, if the jury wished to go out to the scene of the tragedy and examine it for themselves, the •crown would etand the expense. A majority of the jury deoided to go, and accordingly drove out this afternoon. The most important witness to -day was Detective Alex. McDonald, . He entirely corroborated the testimony of Officer Deze- lia, ann vividly showed to the court, with an axe in his hand, hove he sew Alexander Freeman butcher poor Rankinn head. He identified William Henry and George Free- man as the two who in a fienditih manner afterwarele cut the officer's face and head M the horrible way it was found. George, he said, rued the cordwood stick to batter ID the skull, ' and William /leery a grub hoe to complete the murderous work. He also identified Lemuel Freeman as being in the scrape. The blood -spattered club and axe found at the Freeman ranch were produced, and McDonald identified them as the instruments the murderer% had used. The other evidence bo -clay was unimportant. The jury retired about 4.30, and after beitig otit 25 minutes returned a verdict of wilful murder against the trio, George man, Wm. Henry Freeman, and Alexander lereentian, and ageinst Lemuel Freeman ate beitg an accessory to the murder. The wallet has given entire satisfaction, and when the jury returned the large court- room was Jammed to the doom, headmen being turned away. The murderer% took the mentor coolly, and never evinced the slightest emotion.

LONDON, Jan, -The Me - °ceding aetivity of Her Mejesty gum Vietoriu, who never booked better, at all event% at any time dur- ing the last teo years, than Mt the present moment, is a matter of general wonder- ment. Otte often hears °hunter about " the cares of State," " the worry of courb Ilfe," and eo on, bait ooe thing is pertain, "Her Mott Gracious" never betrays any indicatiou thereof. Her Majesty has always taken things easy. Therein lies the secret of her won- derful health, It is nob within the recol- lection of any Britisher when his Qaeen was ill, barring of course these little domestic ebullitions which accompanied the ushering into the world of the Princess Remit and the rest of her brothers and sisters. Orme Her Majesty slipped on the stairs many years ago and sprained her knee, and thie is the only occasion during her long reign than she has been matted, to the imuee from untoward causes. THE VICTORIA AND ALI3E1iT ORDER. However freely Queen Victoria, who is tbe " source of all honor," may bestow peerages, K. C. B's., K. a. M. G's., and such like decorations -the British peerage had no less than seventeen additions last year -Her Majesty is exceediugly chary itt increasing the list of those ladies who wear the coveted Order of Victoria and Albert. In the whole of last year 'Lady Salisbury was the one name added to an Order which, though founded thirty years ago, has on its rolls but a very limited number of members. The Victoria and Albert Order -which permits its wearer to add to their names the cherished "V. ?" • which will sometimes be met with in the peerage, is divided into four Manes, the first of which is reserved solely for royal ladies and is composed of the Queen and hen daughters, the Empress Frederick and her sisters, the Queen of Denmark and the daughters of the Princees of Wales. The second class contains a further selection of royalties, but of German origin, such as the Princess Louis of Batten. berg. The third class includes many, if not most of Queen Victoria's personal friends, former or existing members of her home - hold, ouch as Lady Churchill, the Dowager - Duchess of Roxburgb, Lady Ampthill and the Duchess of Buccleuch; while the fourth class dementia to " honorables," who likewise have seen service with the royal lady, who in privacy is addreseed aa a madam," just as simply as the a missies" in a Wall streeb man's family might be by her cook. TWO ROYAL WIDOWS. It is not difficult to understand why Queen Victoria and the Empress Eugenie ehould find so much pleasure in each other's society. The British Queen has few inti- mates, and of these the number is dimin- ishing each year, while the Empress Eugenie is like Her Majesty, a widow, whose son fell wearing the English uni- form. This fact has largely tended to bring together Queen Victoria a,nd the Empress, whose character has been sadly maligned by the gossiping historians of the Court of the Tuilerieo. That courb may have been lax in its notions; Napoleon III. himself, unfortunately, set a bad example in this respect. But, impartially examined, Ib will be tound that the tales against Eu- genie are largely due to rivals e.nd enemies, these latter recruiting from the noble Fau- bow•g Saint Germain, which never approved of the usurpation of the kelysee by the third Napoleon, and winch in the person of the old noblesse looked down with scorn on a Court formed so largely of parvenues and schemers as was that of the Second Empire. EUGENIE A FAM/LY FAVORITE. • It is evidence suffiaient that Eugenie has been cruelly slandered, that Queen 'Victoria whose severity on all matters of morality has been one of the guiding features of her Court, has thus received to her open arms the late mistress of the Tuileries, who is an immense favorite with the entire British Royal Family. That Eugenie has not suc- ceeded in influencing Queen Victoria in the matter of dress is a matter which sometimes causes a little jocular regret, though even on such points Her Most Gracious is by no means above receiving a hint or two. Queen Victoria's sudden appearance not long since -before the death of the Duke of Clarence -in a bonnet gaily decorated with a white feather tip, was not unconnected with sun. - dry confabulations on matters of dress with that ex -arbiter of European fashion, the Empress Eugenie. Boma, EXHIBITS FOR THE WORLD'S FAIR. The magnificent screen which has been made and designed by the pupils of the Royal School ot Art; Needlework for the Worldn'Fair was submitted to Queen Vic- toria at Osborne a few days ago. The screen is in the Louis XVI. style, elaborately and beautifully carved, and gilt in three or four different colors of gold, and in the lower panels are very finely painted sub- jects on a Venti Marten ground. The needlework is perfection, and as fine as the • school can possibly make. It is altogether very creditable to the producing powers of Great Britain, and shows what advances this &ass of trade has made in taste and elegance during the pad twenty-five yearn Queen Victoria also sends among other sketches a drawing of her favorite dog "Spot."

PLETHORA OF LADIES BROOKE -WHO Is WHO? • To the world at large there is but one Lady Brooke, the fair original of couneleire photograrhe i Ilia at trent crowds around the stationer fe etores as much in New yorh, Boston and Melbourne ae in Begone street and the strand ; but jo point at feat there ie quite a puzzling eumber oi ladies who are telualle entitled to be iim ken ef in the same taimion as egeedy Brooke " Lady Brooke, of Sarawak, ehe wife of Sir Olierlea Brooke, of that littlenenowet pert of the world, comes to Eogle,nd for a vine to add te the Already existing confusion. In addition to these two Ltelies Brooke, there are the wives of two Boraneta--Sir Richard, whose aunt is Lady Meath, and Sir Victor, of Ireland; bub 112 addition there is the widowed mother of the former, who likewise eejoye the right to be addreesen as Lady Brooke, though the older fashion would have dubbed her "Dm." But aristoerate are somewhat prone to set aside the custom of their ancestors in these mattera. Even dowagers, particularly when young and attraotive, are far from eager to meanie that title, and prefer the elternative Flamm of ustng their Christian names. None ever hears of the Dowager Countess of Dudley. It is always Georgiatta Ledy Dudley, Maria Marchionem of Ailesbury, etc NIGHT HORSES AND GAMBLING HELLS. The well-known night houses of former days, so fashionable when the Prince of Wales and the lane Duke of Sutherland used to go to fires together, have long eine° cloted-,Jack Corey's, where one Worthen trier so nearly killed Major Heim John- stone, and Rose Youtegn and the like, and Mrs. Gundy having been once eatisfied, went to sleep. But these so-called "clubs" of to -day are really worm dens than even those night houses were, and their exist- ence is a lasting disgrace to the metropolis of London, which prides itaelf on its re- spectability and morality. Then besides these " clube," uhich are gambling hells and disorderly houses both in one, there are the "clubs" which are purely and simply gamblirg hells, and wherein ladies (?) are not admitted, but where gambling of a very suepicious char- acter goes on nightly for high stakes, and where many an honest but foolish man has his whole week's salary carefully won from him. Such places mil for suppression eolith as much ar3 those dens where the "fair sex" is to be found. THE MONCTON SENSATION. The Airy Finds- That Mrs. Stevens Killed Mabel Hallett. SHE IS PROMPTLY ARRESTED. A Moncton, N. B, despatch says : The coroner's investigation into the death of Mabel Hallett Stevens had to -day a sensa- tional culmination. Mr. "Wm. F. Beat, analytical amnion St. John, as wee gener- ally expected, testified that the result of the analysis proved there was no poison in the etomach or its contents, and tl3at the stomach wee in a peefeat healthy condition, revealing no muse for death. The jury retired, and returned a verdict against Mrs. Stevens an four o'clock, after being Out One hour and twenty-five =awes. The coroner was sent for, and the veteltet was read as follows: " We find that Mabel Glennie Hallett Stevens came to her death by a shook, the result of ill-tremment from Jane Stevens, the wife of H. T. Sevens." An information was then lodged against IVIrs. Stevens by Mr. Reinert 'Julian The arrest was made shortly after seven o'clock. Deputy Sheriff Sweerrey, armed with the warrant, accompanied by Marehal Foster, went to the Stevens residence to arrest Mrs. Stevens. The door was opened by Mille Maggie McDonald, who showed the two offiuers to the llbrary, in which Stevens was sitting in compeam with one of his legal adviser S. Deputy She.iff Sweeney made known the object of his visit ID Mr. Stevens, who appeared to be much affected by the announcement. He stated that Mrs. Stevens was in her room slightly indisposed, and he presumed that the deputy -sheriff would not take any harsh measures. He requested Mr. Sweeney to let her remain in her room under guard, e,nd stated that he would be milling to stand whatever expense might accrue. The deputy sheriff, in reply, said he would not make any promise as to what step would be taken until after he had served the warrant. Stevens returned, accompanied by Mrs. Stevens. Mrs. Stevene on descend- ing, appeared very nonchalant, but upon the reading of the warrant her anxiety was clearly manifested by the expreesion of her face. After the warrant bad been exectited Mrs. Stevens said she was rewly and willing to do as the law required. Diputy Sheriff Sweeney placed Mennen Foster and Con- stable Charles 1VloLaren in charge of Mrs. Stevens. The preliminary trial commences to -morrow. Dew to Make Scotch Haggle.

S4EI1.1 Flow "Rid" DieCoy opened a. Refractory Safe tor a Lincoln Dunker. "To show you bow safo-blowers take advantage of every opporturdey to post themselves on the mechanism of wife looks," said a well-known manufacturer of these strong boxes, a few days 'since, to the Chicago Tribune'a "Marx About Town," " I can. tell you of an incident that came under my observation several years ago. "The safe of a private beriker in Lincoln, Neb., gpt out of order and refereed Montan. on the proper combination. The nearestt safe expert was here itt Chicago, but the hanker bad notes and Mlle in the safe which matured before the expere could have reached Lincoln. He was itt that seemingly belplets predicament when drowning men catch at strawe. He knew that there were several eetorious safe- breakers confieed in the Lincoln peniten- tiary, and going to the Warden he explained his trouble and asked that he send one of ' the crackemen under guard, to bis place of business for thii purpose of melaeg an effort to open the obstinate mil leceptatile." "'Kid' McCoy, an Eastern bank robber of almost national reputation, wbo, by the way, has recently reformed and is now doing the burglar act ' in the English play of The Stowaway,' was at that time a guest of the big state boarding-house at Lincoln, and the Warden selected him se the most expert peterman ' he had in stock and senh him down to the town under a heavy guard." ,When the Kid ' entered the bank he was immediately shown ere stubborn safe. After looting it over carefully. Vie asked 11 there was another safe of the same make in the city. There was, and at his request he was taken to it and examined its lecke closely. Returning to the bank, he gent for a sledge hammer and a stick ce cordwood.. He placed the latter against the face sheet, directly over the combinetion, and then struck it sharply with the pledge. Turn- ing to the banker, the Kid blandly directed him to open the safe door, and upon,. worlsing the combination the door opened: easily." "The Kid ' was sent back to the 'pen' with a twenty dollar gold piece in hie pocket; but this was the smallest pare of ' the reward, for the examination of the safe that was opened for his inspection had re- vealed to the astute safe destroyer a way of picking the combination, which he put into practical use as soon as he was liberated. I know this to be a fact, for I saw McCoy a couple of years ago when be was under arrest in New Yorke and he told me about, it himself." A Thieving Bay*.
