I do not believe in the authenticity of the letters which have appeared in the papers as coming from Archduke Hudolph and Harmless Marie Veosera, stating their Intention to live no longer. Before there wa time to concert a good circumstantial account that would hold well together tho official jM-ople blurted out that Crown Prince Hudolph had been shot behind tho
ear in a diagonal direction, and that the coronal part of the skull had been carried off by the bullet an it went out of the head. .Volhing at all was said of Harouess Mario Vecsora. The diagonal shot tipwnrdalso points at somelody having been concealed iu the room, under Ihe bed or table, ir .some other piece of furniture, aitd to creeping along stealthily until he or .she got up to tlm sleeping pair, and to placingtlie nitizzloof the pistol close to Rudolph's head and firing up at it. Marie would, doubtless, on hearing tho shot, have MUight to escape, wheu she was knocked over by a pistol shot in the back. There w -c mutilations aluo of both bodies, which showed a maniacal hatred. Hnronesi Veesera, the mother, 1 am told, culls for
justice. It is withheld to prevent a worse scandal than that which lias been stirring the world for the last fortnitrht. The
hypothesis of a double murder Is everywhere accepted out of England. Some imagine that the hhots must have been fired by the brother of a young princess, others . by a game-keeper, and thou there is the theory of an illustrious personage having lain in ambush under the table until the lover were asleep. Hut the curious thingis that every one out of England thinks it all right that the heir apparent to tho dual emtiira should have been shot because he was "en bonne fortune." The tendency ou the continent is to keep down gallantry by granting impunity to kill those who tire caught. SI. lory llurtlelf. Nlimtlct It llirllidiiy. Hosto.v, Feb. II.

Tho residents of .Manchester and other little towns in Carroll County, Md., continue to bo greatly alarmed by the throat and destructive work of the barn-burners. A farmer near -Mamhej-ter received the usual notice that his barn would be burned at a certain time. He removed his crop and machinery and lay in wait for the incendiaries. Ho found an use lying- iu some hay on the b.irit lloor. Picking it ' up he was astonished at Its weight. Turning it, over in his hand he discovered that its contents were trickling through a bole in the shell no larger than a pin's head. Suspecting that it contained some deadly chemical, the farmer laid it out iu the Held and went after u neighbor who know more than he did about chemicals. The egg's t shell was tilled with sulphur, truu powder and other chemicals and water. The theory is when the water evaporates in tlio shell combustion occurs. This discovery has only added to the excitement, and now the fanners regard every egg found in their bams with suspicion until they
have satisfied themselves that it is Hot loaded. Ono insurance coni'Miny lu Southern Pennsylvania lias sustained losses in tlio burning of thirteen buildings. What object the incendiaries hope to gain by the lire-; has not boon learned. The uolices Juvariably request tho owners of the barns to remove all Htock aud mnehinery by a certain time.

Every year there is more or less of an exodus of negroe-, worked up by emigration agents, and this causes serious trouble lo the farmers, who depend on the negroes to pick their cotton and do farm work.
