enioy health and mothers have rest, if they will use Castoria. 'VForms, feverishness, teething, wind colic, sour stomach and un- digestm food make children cross, afid pro­duce Mckness.

Castoria will assimilate the food, e i ^ l worms, and correct all these things. For twenty years Dr Pitcher experimented in his private practice to produce an effective Cathartic and stomach regulator which Would be as affective as Castor Oil, without its unpleasant taste or recoil.

The reputation of his-experiment extend­ed Physicians and nurM vapidly adopt­ed his remedy, to which he gave the name of Castoria.

Castoria is as pleasant to take as honey, regulates the stomach and bowels, and does not gripe. It is adapted to all ages, con­tains no alcohol, and is absolutely harmless to the most tender infant.

Try Castoria once, and you will never be without it. Prepared at the L*boratory of J . B ROSE A CO.,

The grave was dug in Bolvulere, aud he M*id that if he failed he hop^ the crowd would l>e large enough to insure a w- epectable legacy to his wife aud chil­dren. Upon apprcacliing the grave Nixon wa« seen on a platform perfoim- ing juggling tricks. Ho was dressed in a bright vellow coat, pink trousers (short), and about No. 11 brogaus. Mr. Nixon claims to be an Egyptian. If the Egyptians ordinarily dress iu that coe- tume, Moses was justified in getting out of the country at tdl hazard/. An E'/yp- tiau taskmaster with a hrogau like Nix­on’s must have iH-en able to administer a fearful kick. Nixon soon approached the grave, and made earnest appeals to the crowd to get away from it. The coffin was brought forward, and a com­mittee was selected to see that there was no deception- Nixon now pulled off his shoes, and stood on the ooffin, holding in each hand a vial. His voice assumed unnatural solemnity. He said that he wsmted silence for a while; that this was a life and death matter; his voice became hu'/ky, and perspiration began to start upon his brow. He paused a moment. A look of grave determination settled upon his face, and with a tremulous sigh he hastily swallowed the contents of the viaL In a few minutes his face assumed a deathly pallor, and dork rims appeared beneath his eyes. The spec tators thought he was going to die. He lay in the coflfin and the lid was screwed down. The coffin was rapidly lowered into the grave, and the earth shoveled in. The excitement increased as the time for which the Professor was to re­main under ground (thirty minutes) passed. At twenty-eight minutes the excitement oommimicated itself to the judges, and they issued orders for the horn to be blown, which was to summon the buried man forth. As the first note of the instimnent rang out the assembly became frantic. Soon a scream rose as the earth began to crack, aud Nixon came up into sight with a load of dirt on his head. Then a howl was caused by the discovery that the Professor’s ap­pearance liad been made through a neatly covered chamber, which was divided only by a thin partition from the head of the grave. He had burst the head out of the coffin, crept into the shaft, and emerged from it at the sound of the horn. He bowed his thanks and with­drew.

A party composed of Walter ISiruer, E»1 Brown,a u d -----Thompson, from Kaufmancounty, had been in that locality s- veral days with race-horses. On 'I'huraday last FVauk aud Lacy Robinson, Taylor Campbell, and Willey Norman, all of Hill county, went to the camp of the Kaufman county men and got into a dispute with them about a puny race, which resulted in a fist-tight. The par­ties agreed t« meet the next day and settle the thing in a more satisfactory tBaniier. Bo at lU o’clock on the next morning iudicateil the Hill county men took a stand at the place agreed upon, iu readiness for action. T^ey had cot waited long when the other party rode toward them.

parties had approached within twenti^Dtvyards of each other, Taylor Oimpbell fired at Turner and the batt e com­menced. Turner leaped from 1 is horse aud fired three shots with his terrible carbine. Tke first shot went ira-shing through Campbell’s brain, th< second caused the instant death of Frank Robin­son, and the last shot mortality wounded Lacy Robinson. By this time a ball from Thompson’s revolver had passed throogh poor Norman’s breast, a boy aged 17 years ; and all of the Hill county p irty lay weltering in their blood. Some twenty shots were fired altogether. M ore than half the shots were by the HiU county party, but, strange to say, none of tbs Kaufman oouuty men were in the least hurt. Campbell aud Frank Robinson also fired, bnt the only dam­age they did was to kill Turner’s horse. The surviving party mounted horses and fled the csuntry. A hundred men started in pursuit. Both the Robinson’s leave families. The Kaufman county party are all boys, none of them being more tlmn 19 or 20 years of age.

Immigpration—Harked Falling UfT This Year,

There has been a marked falling off this year in tlie immigration from Europe as compared with previous years, es­pecially prior to 1871, when the numbers arriving became noticeably less week by week. The following table shows that 80 far this year the decrease continues as compared with even the correspond­ing months of 1875, when the numbers were less tlian in any preceding year since 1860 :

1 he Law of Salvage.The owners of the steami-hip Colon

are considering the interesting conun- dmm: W hich is worse, wreokin g a steam - er at sea, and recovering the insurance on the boat and cargo, or being wrecked iu a court of law, where there is no insur­ance? The Colon, on her voyage out from New York to Panama, broke part of her machinery, whereupon she began to drift helplessly in a direction which would shortly take her out of the track of vessels, and into a desolate pait of the ocean. In this condition sue was sighted by the steamship JE.oa, and, hoisting u signal of distress, the .®tna took her in tow, and towed her into port. For this service, which occupied six days, the owners of the Colon tendered the iEtna $5,(KX). This sum was refused and $150,000 demanded, and, payment being refused, the owners of the Colon were sued for salvage. The Colon lie- ing worth $400,(KX), and her cargo being valued at $300,000, the law of salvage would give the jEtna $350,(>00 for saving her. And besides being sued for sal­vage, the United States Government, having its attention attracted t»y the case, has sue<l the Colon for $i8,000 tariff tax on the engine which broke down and caused her misfortune, be­cause that engine was manufactured in Scotland, and not in the United States, and imported without pajung tbe proper duties. Meanwhile the ship has been bonded, and placed in the dry dock for repairs, while her cargo has been bond­ed and forwarded by another vessel. Moral: Good American engines, which don’t break down, are the cbeapest in the end.

There is perhaps no better authorifv on crop reports than Mr. Oliver Dal- rymple, of St. Paul, who is not only a wli4Mt producer himseli, but a careful and intelligeut observer of the grain trade of the world. Holding close re­lations with those most heavLy iuter- 6st4id in the movement of the mops, and being in possession of the most reliable data from all th.. leading grain centres of the world, Mr. Dalrymple is able to form a very clear opinion upon the re­sults of the wheat harvests of this year. In order, therefore, to answer the ques­tions of uumerouB readers, and to place facts on iiu eitre.mely iutereeting topic before the public, Mr. Dalrymple was interviewed by a IHoneer-Prt hh reporter yesterday, aud he kindly furnishes re­plies to a few interrogatories as follows:

Reporter—Mr. Dalrymple, what do you think of the wheat crop and tbe yield in th's comitry aud Europe as compared with the average of other years?

Mr. Dalrymple—I think tbe spring wheat country, embracing Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin aud northern I linois, and a portion of the Canadas, is 40 per cent ^low an overaging crop; that the winter wheat producing portion of .America, embracing Michigan,' Kansas and the Pacific slope has produced an average crop. Ohio and Indiana are 25 per cent short of average. In relation to Europe, the most reliable informatleu that I can obtain shows that England, France and Germany are 20 per cent, below an average. The Danube country, Italy and the Netherlandd, 25 per cent, below. Austria, Belgium and Russia 5 per cent, below. Scandinavia, 10 per cent, below.

R.—Can our farmers then, in your opinion, Mr. Dalrymple, look for better prices than have been ruling for the last two years?

Mr. D.—The average price '(or No. 2 wheat at Milwaukee for the liwt seven years has been $1.11, dropping eight cents below in tbe three last months in the year, and going about eight cents above its average during the summer months o f . the year. There is every reason to expect that the prices of tlie crop of 1876 will rule above an av erage.

R.—What can you say especially of the present crop of Minnesota ?

Mr. D.—I have been a wheat grower for twelve years, and this is the lightest crc p I have seen harvested. I thihk it it is threshing out between eight and nine bushels to the acre, most of wliich will be used by the Minnesota mills and for seed. Tbe crop is generally being saved in good condition. Most of tbe wheat is iu stack and out of danger.

The Winnipeg (Manitoba) papers have sad intelligence of the Iceland immi­grants, who have come in large numliers, as ooJouists, to settle in the British American possessions. They start*‘d in boats for their reservation on Lake Wiu- nipeg, many of which wrecketl in fear­ful storms, and the gooils and chattels of the poor people were scattered in every direction by the waves. It is known that a number of lives were lost, and it is feared tbat many perished whose bodies have not been recovereii.

isting near Berlin, Prussia, which can contain nearly 1,0(X) pewons. I t is cir­cular within, octagofial without. The reliefs outside and statues within, the roof, ceiling, the Corinthian capitals, are all papier mache, rendered water­proof by saturation in vitriol, lime-water, whey, and white of eggs. When we think of a psalm sung by thousand voices pealing through a splendid edi- ti je ma<le of old rags, we feel as though we had lost the right to be surprised al any future achievement of science and art.

CrlcketiBg Extraordinary.In Bull Run Valley, Nevuli, the

crickets have played eatl havo ; with the growing crops. The ugly pest-i attacked one wheat-field of thirty acre-, and in au hour destroyed the wliole « rof), eat­ing the stalks off close to tlie grouiid, and then marched on to other c- nqiic-G. Millions of crickets have been Killed, aud strew the ground for mile- aiound, while the vast number which i ave been driven or found their way into the streams have imparted a mo-<t disugiet*- able flavor to the water, rendering it unfit for drinking, so that the people have found it necessary to dig snallow wells near the streams aud securely cover them over. The first band that made au incursion into the valley this year completely destroyed every grow­ing thing upon Borette’s Silver Creek ranch, and iiis experience was that of many other ranchers in tlie valley. A novel method of cleaning out crickets is bveewiiif together three gunny aaoks, leaving small boles in tbe bottom one for tlid egress of Water. The large sack is attac heil to the end of a sluice box, placed so that the water will run into it. The people then assemble, .armed with bells and boughs, and with a great noise drive the crickets into the stream, which swiftly carries them down through the sluice box into the bag, where they are speedily drowned. At Painter’s ranch a few days ago, there was a grand “ drive,” Uie result being seventy-five sacks full, or about 225 boshels of crickets, which is considered a pretty good day’s work. — Sacramento (Cal.) liecord- Union,

The Mouiilaiii Meadow Untchery.Some points involved in the pending

trial of Lee, a Mormon chief, at Beaver, Utah, are of peculiar interest. Per­ceiving that the Government had re­solved upon bringing the perpetrators of the Mountain Meadow massacre to justice, and had accumulated strong proof against L"e, who was an agent of the Mormons in tliat atrocious crime, and who had exhibited a strong incliuo- t'on to “ pqueal” upon his employers, the dignitaries of the church shrewdly concluded to sacrifice Lee as a means of salvation for' Ihemselvcs. At tbe fin-t trial of the butcher there was a disagree­ment of the jury, although the proof was very strong against him. At the second trial, a whole battahon of tbe Mormons who were eye-witnesses of the massacre liave come forward and testified to Lee’s murderous acta in the minutest particu­lars, while professing the most invinci­ble ignorance of any other incidents of the tragedy. There is not a doubt that these wretches have deliberately per­jured themselves iu this regard, and, were there pot mo^t conclusive proof against Lee, apart from this testimony, a i^ d id jury would be justified iu con­sidering him theelected victim of a most aliominable church conspiracy. AU tlie circumstances of tbe matsacre indicate that it WU8 deliberately planned in the councils of the church aud executed by its ministt-rp. Evidence was obtained at the former trial of such dispositions of the erteeta of tbe butchered emigrants as could not have been made without the consent of the church authorities.— Chicago Times.

A Smith Reunion.We recently published the call of a

On Wednesday there assembled some 3,000 Smiths with their families aud lunch baskets, all bent on having a right good time, and anxious to bec4»me acquainted with at least a few of Iheir widespread family. The beautiful grove near Peter S. Smith’s bouse, and in the picturesque valley of the “ North Branch” of the Raritan, had been the scene of busy labor for days, and on the eventful morning its results were eeen and ap­preciated in the form of embowered ar­bors, a speaker’s and a band stand, a toll liberty-pole,many ranges of benches and long lines of substantial tables, all draped with fligs, bunting and ever­greens, Tlie crowd had a good time, aildresses being made, and all departed feeling satisfied tl.at Ihe Smith family has as numerous a progpuy as othi^- Elizabeth J.)

Th* V ccv«(ab« Shipping of tb s Hrlttoh Kfit| irw>-T'bs Hseund Flaoe tlccuplad bjr thd. Uiittsil IttiUss. >From the j||Btnnia on the p ro v e s of

British shipfnng, recently iseuea by the Board of lYsde, we leitm that the sbip- pintr of the British Empire aggregate 7,744,267 tons, of which 6,087,’701 tons Lielong to the United Kingdom. Thus the United Kinp'dom owns nearly five- sixths of the shipping of the British Em­pire. Other maritime countries, that is the United States and all the nations of Euro'ie, except Russia, Spaio, and Portugal, possess an aggregate tonnage of no more thau 11,225,211 ton*'. The shipping of the British Empire iu mere capacity, therefore, without reference to the qu^ity, age, or character of the ves­sels, is equal to two thirds of the ship-5ing of all other maritilBe ^nintries.

leit t-o ourselves the Unitt^ States have the greatest merchant flBvy. Taken altogethf r, it has a tonnage of 4,772,217 tons. But of this total no more than 1,553,827 tons are engaged ip the for­eign trade. The remaining 3,260,000 tons are employed in the lake, river, and coasting tttule. Into this latter trade no foreign vessel, aud even no for­eign built vessel, is admitted ; and the immense seaboard and vast lakes and rivers, being thus retained for the ex­clusive employment of United States ►hipping, of course, support a ve^ large fleet. But the marine engaged iu the foreign trade—which, being open to competition, is alone comparable with our own—is, it wHl be seen, smaller than tbe merchant navies of our col­onies and dependencies ; and it shows no tendency to increase. Next to the United States, Norway joossesses the greatest tonnage, 1,245,223; Germany possesses the next largest, 1,058,263; and France almost equals Germany, 1,037,273. Thus France, with her vast seaboard, occupies only the fifth rank among maritime countries, if we reckon by tonnage only. We need hardly say, however, that it is the steam fleet which at present determines the maritime rank of a country. In steamers we are still more superior to the rest of the world than we are made to appear by the fore­going statistics. The hteam tonnage of the British Empire is 2,072,804 tons; that of the United Kingdom alone, 1,- 940,197 ; while all other countries own no more than 1,838,345 tons. Thus the United Kingdom alone has a greater steam navy than all ether maritime countries together. As before, the Uuited States stands nex, t i Great Britain, with 976,978 steam tons in tbe coasting trade, and 191,989 in the for­eign trade ; a total of 1,168,967. France now, however, takes the third place, with 194,545 tons, or a little more than the American tonnage in the foreign trade. Very close upon France comes Germany, with 189,998 tons, while Nor­way, which lakes pieoedtnce of botli Germany and France in aggregate ton- nag , is left far behind in the race here. —lyondon Econornixt.

I have just arrived, after riding all througli Bulgaria on horseback. I left Sir. Sclmyler at Galnova, going south, and recrossing the Balkans. I itee from the papers that Mr. Baruig rejiorts sixty villages burned and 12,000 people killed. Thia estimate does not include the dis­trict north of the Balkans, which was not then visited, nor the District of Sophia. Forty villages were burned north of the Balkans, aud seventy sontli, not including the District of Sophia. Mr. Schuyler has not yet c-ompleted bis estimate of the people killed. In the District of Phitippopolis alone there were 15,000. I 84>e that the friends of Turkey made much of the statement that only the Bashi-Bozoaks committed the atrocities, not tbe regular troops. This is untrue. Wherever there vere troops, as at Olluk-Kui, they rivaled the Bm-lii-Bazoiiks in cruelty. There is no doubt in my mind tliat the massacres were committed with the sanction of the aiitliontie®.

The present condition of the country is depilorable. Complete anarchy pie- vaih. Life and property are nowhere safe. Everywhere people came to ua with fresh saber cuts from Mussulman neighbors. They are obliged to work without pay. Their horses ami cattle are taken; tlie women are violated. These things are occurring now. The anthorities were disposed to do justice, but are* powerless. The Governor of Philippopohs save he must have cavalry to quell the Mussulman population. Some Kalmakams and Mudiis say that the Zaptichs threatened by the Turks are afraid to execute there orders.

Mr. Schuyler thinks their is imminent danger of more maf socres. He will sug­gest to his Government to insist upon the following measures: First, the hanging of Acbmed Agha, Favsoun Bey, Cbefket Pasha, and another Aclimed Agha; second, the disarming of the Mussulman population; tliird, the re­building of burned villages at Govern­ment expense, and payment for the stolen cattle. The execution of these measures cannot be left to the Turkish authorities. He will, therefore, propose the appointment of a Foreign Commis­sion to see the measures executed. If this be not done, he thinks that mas­sacres surpassing all yet committed may occur any day, especially if the Turkish arms meet with reverses. Kiani Pasha’s mission is a farce.

worst of all nnisauoee, colds iu Ae head, wbiah Dr, Ferrier, of Kings Col­lege, suggested in the Lancet, might prove to be a remedy of p ea t value. I t IS a snuff—a white powuer—composed of the following ingredients : Hydro- cldorate of morphia, two grains ; acacia powder, two draobins ; tns-nitrate of bismuth, six drachms—tbe whole making up a quantity of powder of which from one-quarter to oue-half may lie safely taken, if necessary, in the course of twenty-four hours. Dr. Ferrier says that witli this snuff he has twice ouretl himself of very violent colds, once, in­deed by taking trianitrate of bismuth alone, which is a very powerful remedy for catarrh of the mucous membrane, aud is the most iiaportitmt ingredient in this snuff. Dr. V erri^ mentions two other persons who were ettred of violent colds by the same snuff, and to these in­stances we may add that the present writer, who, having a very violent cold coming on with the sensation of weight

I in the temples and the usual disagre4i- . able feeling in the throat, as well as or­

dinary catarrh, made trial of Dr. Per­rier’s remedy one evening, and got up on tbe following morning completely free from cold, which has not since re­curred. The snuff, instead of increas­ing the tendency to sneeze, almost im- m ^iately begins to diminish it.—Lon­don Spectator, .

Tile Extradition ({uestioo.The Ashburton treaty with England

was recently allowed to lapse by the tacit consent of the high contracting parries, growing oat of the refusal of the British Goveiument to surrender Winslow, the Boston forger, unless the United States would guarantee that he should only be placed cm trial for the crime of which be was charged in the demand for extradi­tion. Eugland insisted on this condi­tion, 80 as to carry out her local legisla­tive enactments, oblivious of the rule of equity that no party to a contract can modify it without the consent of the others interested. I t would now seem that the British Government, influenced by suggestions from the neighboring Dominion, is anxious to re-enter into au alliance offensive and defi nsive against all social pests, and for that purpose has opened negotiations at Washington for a new treaty, which will be cliiefly de­voted to the extradition question, and if entered upon, will afford greater facili­ties for the capture and exchange of fu­gitives from justice than the one which a few months ago was quietly interred beneath the accumulated duet of the two State Departments.

Madras Jugglers.After the snake charmer has finished

his wonderful performances, a stout, strong girl comes forward, makes a deep obeisance, and then, stepping back, throws a man, weighing fully eleven stone, over her shoulders. Nor does she stop here, for she seizes her victim once more, places him crosswise on her back, aud then tosses him into the air as though he were made of feathers, and not a broad-shouldered human being. I'uming backward on her feet, she picks up straws with her eyelids, throws som­ersaults, and lifts weights which would astonish the ordina^ London acrobat. While she is thus performing, jugglers are changing pebbles into birds, birds into eggs, and eggs into plants, men thread b e ^ s with their tongues, join innumerable pieces of cotton into one long cord, keep half a score of sharp knives in t'ae air at once, throw cannon balls with their toes, and spin tops on the ends of twigs. Pandemonium reigns, the clatter is unbearable, and one is com­pelled to dismiss the tribe of vagrants without further delay.

Counterfeiting Trade Marks.The a c t^ punish tbe counterfeiting

of trade mark gooils, and the sale of, nr deeding in, counterfeit trade mark goods, which was passed at the last session of Congress, and'is now a law, provides : That every person who shall, with intent to defraud, deal in or sell, or keep or offer for sale, or cause or procure the sale of, any goods of substantially tbe same descriptive properties as those re­ferred to iu the registration of any trade mark, purauaut to the statutes pf tlie Uuited States, to which, or to the pack­age in which tbe same are put up, is , fraudulently affixed said trade mark, or any colorable imitation thereof, calcu­lated to deceive the public, knowing the same to be counterfeit or not the genuine goods refen-ed to in said reg^tration, ahaU, on conviction thereof, be punish­ed by tine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or imprisonment not paore than two years, or lioth such tine and im­prisonment.

Many a family of which the members were suffering and weak in general, have been restored to a vigorous and healthy condition by fol­lowing our advice, which was to remove their oedrooms up stairs, to havo their beds, summer and wjpter, exposed the whole day to the fresh air from open windows (except of course when there is rain or mist), and also to have during the whole night one window partially open, even in winter, so as always to in­hale the fresh, cool air from the out­side, but using at the same time the precaution to have sufficient bed cover­ing to secure warmth.—Prof, Vander Wtyde.

Twilight Htoriwa.Children, suppose that I tell you a

story, for it’s not dark enough to draw down the curtains or light me gas, bnt its too dark to roll balls or spin tops to any advantage, ‘rhings have such a way of slipping out of sight in the dusk, it does not improve the temper to bomp one’s head under the tables and chairs looking for them; while stitches taken in doll’s clothes by this faint light are apt to be pulled out in a great hurry the next morning. See how the firelight dances on the walls. Everybody bring a chair or a stool or at least themselves, nearer the fire, and I ’ll tell you a story. What shall it be about? 'I'he smallest children of this great family shall choose to-night. I think I hoard some one say, “ Kittens.” Kittens it shall be. k) k e ^ very quiet.

Trtie name of the story is “ The Four Little Kittens.”

When Lizzie, the nurse, went upstairs in the morning she said : “ Come, children, it’s time to get dressed.”

But Willie’s train of cars, a tangle of chairs and string, reached across the nursery floor, and he was busy oiling the engine with the oil-oan from the sewing machine. Harry was turning summersaults on the bed—that is, try­ing to do so, but his fat legs were so short he only stood on bis head and fell over sideways on the pillow to get up and try again. How conld either of them spare time to be dressed ? But Lizzie' said again, “ Come, children, you must get dressed ; it’s almost break- jfast time. Beside, I ’ve something to tell yon about the cat.”

The engine steamed quietly into the station, while th^ engineer put his feet into his red stockings, and Harry said, as he ran across the floor, “ What is it about the cat ? is she lost?”

“ Oh, no, she has some kittens in the box behind the door in the back hall. As I was coming along early this morn­ing I lieard the fnnmest little noise in the box, and when I looked in there were four of the sweetest little kittens, two gray and white and two black with white paws. They were all curled up to­gether to keep warm, for the old cat was in the kitchen getting her breakfast Now, bnrry and you’ll have time to see them before breakfast.”

No one would bebeve Willie was a slow boy, If they cfdnld have seen hpw quickly he was dressed that momin.g, aud Harry did not dance abont at all, but winked very hard when Lizzie gave a dreadful pull to the tangled curls, so there was time to pay the visit. Such lovely kittens! All curled up in a bunch, as Lizzie said, fast asleep. They did not like to be distnrbed very mnob, and clung to one another and made siioh funny little squeaks for mews, for all the world like tov kittens; besides, they never opened their eyes at all. Pussy came into the box with a bounce and a mew, and tapped with a velvet paw on the little fa t^ n d s , jost to remind the boys that she did not wish liberties taken wiUi her babies. Robert came in with the milk just then, and Harry said, “ Oh, Robert, do von see thene sweet little kittens?” Robert admired them very mnoh, but Harry didn’t hear him eay to the cook, “ It’s carrying them off I ’il be f<» doing. There’s enough little cats in the house now, that’s only two fe e t”

Bnt the old c»t heard him !Harry and Willie talked about the

kittens all the morning, but mamma would not let them disturb them again, l>ecaaBe, she said, “ They were just lit­tle babies, like baby brother in his bas­ket up stairs, and as they hadn’t their eyes open, it frightened them to be taken out of their warm box and handled roughly.” So the little boys minded mamma till after dinner, when Harry asked if he might not take his little sis­ter Amy down to see the kittens if they did not touch them. Mamma said, yes. So the two trotted off hand iu hand, through the halls and over the bills and moxmtains, three steps and a door sill, to the box in the back hall. Amy lookexl into the box, and said, “ Kitty ?” She saw a roll of carpeting in the corner, and was BO little she did not know the dilTer- ence in the dark hall, but Harry was a whole year older, and he saw that there were no little gray and blaok muffs curled up in a bunoh asleep, and no old cat either. What did it mean ? It only took him a minute to get into the kitchen, though he tmnbled up every stair.

“ Oh, ’Izzie, cook, where are the dear darling pussies ? Tliey are gone I And the old oat’s gone. I don’t like i t ! I ’m indignant I” so he lay down and kicked till mamma came out to see wliat made all the noise, for little Amy was crying at being left alone, and the two heels mode a great clatter on the bare floor.

“ I don’t see what’s oome of the kit­tens myself, ma’am,” said Lizzie, the

cook, to mamma, “ for Robert’s not been in since, and they were safe after breakfast, for I heard them mew. The jld cat’s carried them off aud hidden them. Like enough they are iu the boose Bomewhere.”

Harry sat up to listen.But Lizzie had made a mistake for, i

the children hunted the house over, up- stairs and downstairs, nnder all the I beds, and even peeped into baby boy’s j lissket, but no signs of kittens any­where.

Almoet a week went by, when one day Mrs. Hemlric t ame to call on the children’s mamma. She lived just op- {Hjsite, bat there were two broad lawns, a road and two sidewalks between the two houses, so it seemed a great way off to the children. Harry and Amy were in the jiarlor, aud pre.sently they heard Mrs. Heiulrio eay, “ Wliat do you suppose yoar oat has dene ? Why, bIio has carried her kittens one by one to an old basket in our cellar, and taken up her residence there.”

Wasn’t that funny ?The children’s mamma sent Robert

over that night to bring them all home, because pussy had taken g;reat liberties iu going to another person's house un­invited. But in the morning, when the boys hurried through their dressing again, and went down to see them, the box was empty a aeoond time. Pussy was wiser, too, in choosing her hiding place, for though she came every morn­ing fur her breakfast, aud at night for her milk, she never told her secret. One day, about five weeks afterward, the children were playing out of doors, when they saw quite a procession cross iug Mrs. Hendne’s lawn, and then—

“ The fo u r g ra y cat*.A m i tb« g ray c a l ’* m ottanr,A nd all co m io g OTsr th e ro ad to g e th e r .”

Only you know two of the kittens were black, but that wouldn’t rhyme. They all walked in through the gate, and the cat looked on while the kittens bounced away after tUe croquet balls. How glad the children were to see them ! Harry went over to pat the cat. She put up her back and purred, aud this is what she mukt have said: “ See what nice playmates I have brought yon, and what a deal of trouble I have had to keep them safe till they were large enough to take, care of themselves, to be sure.” So after that the children always had the kittens for playmates, aud the chil­dren frolicked so much, and the kittens grew so large, it was hard to tell them apart almost; and they play together yet, for whert I looked out of the window this morning I saw the old cat sitting in a sunny place on the steps, the children and two kittens were swinging in the hammock, while the other two— kittens I moan—were playing “ hide and seek ” in the grass, and “ tag ” up and down the steps, sometimes tumbling head over heels from the top to the bottom.

T h e Y e u n g M a n o f F r i m - l p l e .A young man waa in a position where

his employers required him to make a falae statement, by which several hun­dred dollars would come into their hands which did not belong to them. All de­pended upon this clerk’s serving their purpose. To their great vexation he utterly refused to do so. He could not be iuduoed to sell his conscience for any one’s favor. As the result, he was div chargeil from the place.

Not long after, he applied for a vacant situation, and the gentlaman, being pleased with his address, asked him for any reference he might have.

The yonng man felt that his character was unsullied, aud so fearlessly referred him to his last employer.

“ I have just been dismissed from his employ, and you can inquire of him about me.”

It was a new fashion Mf gattiug a young man’s recommendations, but the gentleman calle>l on the firm and found that he was “ too con-Kiientious about trifles.” The gentleman had not been greatly troubled by too conscientious employes, aud preferred that those in­trusted with bis money should have a tine sense of truth aud honesty, so he engaged the young man, who rose fast in favor, and l>ec.ime, at length, a part­ner iu one of the largest Arms in Boston.

“ A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.” Even uuscrupulons men know the worth of good principles than cannot be moved.

A gentleman turned off a man iu his employ at the tiank, because he refused to write for him on Sunday. When asked afterward to name some reliable person he might know as suitable for a cashier in another bank, he mentioned this same man.

“ You can depend upon him,” he said, “ for ho refused to work for me on the Sabbath.”

A gentleman, who employed many persons in his large* establishment, said:

“ When I see one of my young men riding out for pleasure on Sunday, I dismiss him on Monday. I know such a case cannot be trusted. Nor will I employ any one who even occasionally drinks liquor of any kind.”

Honor the Sabbath and all the teach­ings of tlie Bible, and you will not fail to find favor with God, aud with man also. __________________

Savages at the Opera.A delegation of Apache Indians at­

A local paper says they ex­hibited neither wonder nor surorise at the extraordinary features of opera boiiffe, which they were witnessing for the first time, hut smiled at the fun in the right places, and the only thing wliich seemed to aroufo their particular attention was the carrying off of one of the twin sisters by the pirates.

Tears ago, and not so inahy either, says a ooutemporay, when the tomato waa called the “ love apple,” and culti­vate d as an object of curiosity, the idea of eating it was not entertained. Its flavpr t* the natural taste was tlisagree- abld in the extreme. Yet no|v U il uni vorsally eaten, aud la couMdeia4 uot only' the meal delightful butvna of the most wholesome vegetables.

So with the oyster. Nothing can bo more disgusting to the eye, nothing more revolting to the stomach—tiiat is the uneducated eye aud stomach. It was observed, during the late war, that the men who came down from the moun­tains to the coast could not for a long time be persuaded tp touch oysters, or to eat out of a vessel in whioh they had been cooked. They even regarJedwith distrust the people who did eat them, looking upon them as unnatural beings with depTi^Tsd appatit^, An4 je t neither the earth tior tiiemr, nor the waters that cover the earth, contain aught that iu all respects equals the oySter.

Tlie generalizatiou often drawn from the tomato and oyster is, that adjuired tastes are byodtla the strongest, aud in many cases the moat beneficial to man kind. But the latent moral, disceruable only by the philosophical eye, has never yet been unfolded to a blind aud uuiu- quiring word.. We aunonnee it now. It is this:

Acquired tastes being the strongest aud most beuetioial, may it not be—nay, is it not certain—that mankind is losing a great deal by not cultivating those tastes, and by not searching about to find objects on which to exeicise them? The French are very happy aud indus­trious in pursuits of this cuaracter, and the result is that they can eat and enjoy anything on earth except buzzarils.

But what do the Americans say to the kissing of men as a new, cheap and per­manent source of deep enjoyment 1 Wo all fancy that we know what it is to kiss a woman—a young and pretty woman. It is said by those who have tried it to be rather a good thing. But the kissing of a grown man by a grown man is something at which unenlightened epi­gastrium heaves fearfully—in this coun­try. The French kiss, the Gerniaus kiss, aud—do but read this:

“ Osculation is practiced somewhat promiscuously in Russia. Somebody writes: 'The Russian ceremony of sa­luting every one upon Easter with the sentonoe “ Christ has risen ” and a kiss, was carried out with much pomp by the Emperor and his court. Precisely at midnight, the hour being announced by cannon, the Czar, hii family and all the court dignitaries, together with the chief officers of the wmy aud navy, went in a jxrooeasion into the church adjoining the winter palace. Here, at a certain stage of the ceremonies, the Czar gave three kisses each to the state dignitaries, the General, aides-de camp, aud the com- miasioaed officers of the guard. Ma.ss was then celebrated aud the company dispersed.’ ”

So great a man as the Emperor of all the Russias we may be very sure would not indulge in the above ceremony if it were so very loathsome as we Americans fancy. Oiirs is a miserable delusion. Away with it. We haven’t a doubt l)ut that the kissing of men is as far superior to the kissing of women as beef is to veal. Nothing can be argued from the kissing of old women, who are a kind of beardless man, because nobody kisses them often enough. If we persisted, as one does with tomatoes and oysters, old women’s kisses would in time become delicious, but still not quite equal to the kisses of men. The mustache, we are assured, o;<eratos like black walnut catclmp on fish.

Objections to tobacco, whisky, Swiss cheese, aud perhaps onions, as inevita­ble acoompanimeuts of the male kiss, will be urged by the opponents of our views. The objections have no particle of weight. Frail, delicate, refined women manage to worry through long, happy livea in spite of those trifles, aud we may do the same. Let us hasten the era of high flavored mosouliuo kisses, and leave the tame, insipid lips of women to schoolboys aud preachers. We have loet ages of bliss by not doing it in times past, aud we cannot begin too soon.

Rules and Directions for Preserving.1. Let everything used for the pur­

pose be delicately clean and dry; bottles especially so.

2. Let froit for preserving be gath­ered always in perfectly dry weather, and be free from the morning and evening dew. When bottled it must be steamed daring the day on which it is gathered, or there will be a groat loss from the bursting of bottles.

i 3. Never place a preserving kettle flat I upon the fire, aa tliis will render the

preserve liable to bum, as it is called —that is, to adhere closelj to to the met­al, and then to burn; it should rest al­ways on a trivet

4. After the sugar is added to tliom stir the preserves gently at first, aud more quickly toward the end, without quitting them Until they are done.

6. All preserves should be perfoctlj cleared from the scum as it rises.

6. Fruit which is to be preserved in sirups must first be blanched or boiled gently, until it is sufficiently softened to absorb the sugar, and a thin simp must be poured on at first or it will shrivel in­stead of remaining plump and becoming clear.

7. To preserve both the tme flavoi and color of fruit in kms and jellies, boil them rapidly until Hey are reduoeii, before the sugar is added, and quickly afterward, but do not allow tliem to b^ oome HO mneh thickened t'nat the sugar in them will not dissolve eMily and throw up its scum; the drop whfoh ml- heres to the skimmer will show the state it has reached.

8. Never use tii-, iron, or powtei spoons or skimmers for preserves, as

they will convert the color of red fmit into a dingy purple, and impart uu uz- pleasant flavor.

9. When cheap jams or jellies are re- (luired make them with Lisbon sugar, but use tnat which is well refined, al­ways, for preserves in general; it is a fulM eoouomy to purchaM an inferior kind, aa there is great waste ffom it in the quantity of scum it throws up. The best is the cheapest.

The Wheat Crop, correspondent signing

follows tohimself

the Chi-“ Granger” writes cage Tribune:

“ The wheat crop of the United States aud Europe is now nearly all garnered. What are the facts iu the case i The winter crop is not over a two-thirds average yield, with the ex­pectation of California, where it is said to l>e an average.

Spring wheat is but a trifie, if any, over one half an average yield, leaving a shortage of fully 70,(X)0,0()0 bushels of the entire crop of America, calling the average yield 300,000,000 bushels for the past four years. Tire ijuality aud condition is excellent beyond question.

The old stock now in store in New York, Chicago and Milwaukee amounts to about 5,000,000 bushels iu roiuid numbers. The stock remaining back is variously estimated at from 1,000,000 to3,000,000 buabels iu Minnesota, ^t mat tera not whether it be air or eight mil­lions left of the old stock, it is fast go­ing into consumption—the millers con- vertiug it into flour for which there is a good, healthy demand, with a fair living profit—something we haven’t had Itu many months.

I^ropeau crops are far below' an aver­age. The wants of the United King­dom for tlie pa.st three years have been about 100,000,000 bushels annually. The requirements this year will be more.

From the best information that can be arrived at, I would advise the fann­ers of the north-west to go slow. Hold your wheat for higher prices; you are hound to get it; higher prices are inevi­table.

A war in the Old World is now in progress, which bids fair to be a repeti­tion of the Crimean war of 1854. Should this be the case, 81.50 per bushel would l>e cheap. At that time it was worth that in Wisconsin. Without a war, it is bound to .sell iu this market at $1.25 per bpshel before Jj’ebruary, 1877.

Therefore, farmers and brother Gran­gers, hold your wheat. Sell everything you have to spare first. Wheat to day 18 fifteen to twenty cents per bushel cheaper tliau the average has been for the past twenty-two years, with the cheapest freight to the sealx^rd ever be­fore offered. G r a n q s i i ,

Is it Healthy to Marry 1The statistics of all countries show

that marriage is promotive of longevity. Married people of both sexes live longer, because they are ordinarily • more happy and prudently behaved than even bach­elors or spinsters. Moral and sanitary Fcieuco combine in commanding that wedlock shall be encouraged. I t hap­pens, however, that in old settled com­munities there is a large preponderance of women. The female sex is less able than the male to fight unaided the battle of life ; aud its miseries, in tlie event of failure, are greater.

The excess of unmarried women shoold be diminished, if philanthropy gnd sound political economv are capable of grappling ivith the evil. There are two ways of solving the difficulty. One is an equalization of the sexes by means of the aided emigration of siuplus women to new settlements. Gov. Slade’s down east schoolmistresses mar­ried so rapidly after going West that their successors were put under two thousand dollar bonds to remain single for three years. In many cases this proved no obstacle to impetuous wooers, who paid the peotiniary forfeit that the j might be united to the object of their affection. The same thing is going on every day in New Zealand.

Cared.The story goes that the son of a

wealthy Pans nobleman became enamor­ed of Ins father’s concierge (door-porter), and determined to marry. The aristo­cratic papa opposed, but moved at last by tlie despair of bis son, gave his con­sent with the proviso that the smitten youth should go to sea for twelve months before the marriage. Shortly after hisdeparture, the father, who had previous­ly observ^ an embonpoint in the young intended, took her under his especial charge, gave her the most nourishing aud succulent food and wines, forbade her to* take exercise as unbecoming iu kis future daughter, and, in fact, stall- fed her to such an extent that when the enamored swain retomod from his year’s voyage, he was horrified to find, instead of "the slender, elegant girl he left, an immenselv fat woman as big as two Al- biouB rolled into one. Of course the niso was successful, and the unfortunate victim of good cheer has been pensioned ofl'—doomed to a life of spinsterdoiH.

------ , I believe. Is your father with­in?”

“ No, sir,” she replied, “ Pa is not in at present. Did you wish to see him personally?” i

“ Yes, miss,” was his Vtluff response, fooling that she waa yielding— ‘ ‘ on very ) particular business.’’ And ho proudly 1 turned to go away.

ADELAIDE’S DOUBLE.The absence of Adelaide Munthrope

bad grown into myateriou-s disappear- ance the evening that Itoland Mitcliell dined with the BiiUena.and, retiring to his Coed in a distant chaml>er of the Orange, found himself nuacoountubly interested in the questions and surmises started by the young lady’s probable fate or where­abouts. He knew Nathan Muntluope, Adelaide’s uucle, well, and had casually met her in society, making her acquaint- tuice in an uninterested sort of way, and regarding her so indifferently that really he could uot determine whether he was in company with her twice or thrice after introduction. The family was nothing more to him than merely friends of the Bullens—one of whom had mar­ried his aunt, and a younger one, a col­lege chum, was to marry his sister. So very slight was this lx)nd of union, that Boland lay awake full two hours, won­dering why his mind should ho so eu gaged with Adelaide Muuthrope’s afTaiis, and why he should lie awake consider­ing them.

Miss Munthropo was n slightly built, pale, feeble-lookiiig creature, with a cer­tain prettiness of feature, the chiefcharm of wliich was a large, liquid, blue ! - .

almost gray, friugtui with i penence .eye, almost gray, inugtHt with long, black lashes. Her forehead was too high for a woman, and combing down her black, wavy hair, to <x>ntract its area, only served to make her angular, sunken cheeks all the paler by coutrasfc She had wonderful self-possession, au indomitable will that never would nrook contradiction, and a fervid imat^inatiou, whose vagaries often tended, at once, to amuse, debght and shock her mother and the companions of her youth. Her habits were all precise ; she was methodi­cal, taciturn, quiet ami determined, and had a knowledge of meu ami motives, rts aud events, far beyond her years.

I t ha»l become so generally understood that she was cut out for au old maid that the annojincement of her marriage and departure for Eurojre gave everybody the utmost surprise. People iu general thought it singular that no hint of mari­tal intention should have got ajruad; but Nathan Munthrope gave sucli poitive as- surauces, and as there were no grounds for objection, contradiction or dispute, the matter was acquiesced in for six whole months. At the end of that time no word had come from Adelaide to rela­tives or acquaintances, and Gossip shook her head, while Bumor lot all her tongues loose at ouce. This was the situation, when Boland went up from New York to tho Grange on a Saturday afternoon in January, 1873, and heard the theories luid queries called up bv tho very aiugu- Jar aspect of Miss Munthrope’s case.

It was 11 o’clock when Btoland retired. Ho heard the clock strike 1. as ho tried, for the fiftieth time, to discliarge his mind of the gossip's stuff, aud then sat bolt upright in bed.

“ Luck is against me, or I have eaten too much dinner,’ said he to himself.

is deuuedly apt to raise gtniee fieeh aud swamp gtKxi resolutions. In the pause, the wmil being momentarily huahtnl and his breath batetl, he heard a footstep coming along tho liall, which ended with his apartmtmt

“ Frrestalled, aud pleasantly, too,” said Boland, aloud. “ Come in, don’t stand shivering outside aloue, when you can shiver iu good company within.”

He was certain that it was hm ci- devant brother-in-law's foot, in sandal clatl, that he heard, and gave him quick welcome.

The door opened ; of that he was sat­isfied, though he found it locked when he went to it next, and recollected tlieu turning tho key with a mental hope tliat no one woald come to cause him the liother of unlocking it. The room was very light, for, looking to the south, was a vast window reaching from ceiling to floor, the heavy drapery of which was looped high np and apart. The moon, iu the full, was declining, and swept almost every foot of the floor with her beams, so bright that one might have read an ordinary book iu the flood. The door, however, was in the shadow, and Boland continued his greeting.

“ Is that you. Bob? Hurry up ; you move as alow as a spook.”

No reply was vouchsafed him, and the footfall was quite noiseless on the heavy pile of carpet. Boland strained his eyes and presently saw in the edge of the moonlight the bottom folds of a woman’s black dress, a white underskirt, aud light-(Xjlo*'“d sha^‘ slipper.

The idea of its being a ghost never entered his head; he thought the visitor a somnambulist, and having heard of the danger of suddenly awakening one so circumstanced, he held his peace. The woman moved slowly into tho full moon-, light, stood looking toward the window, then faced about, presenting her profile, clear as a silhouette, to Boland, who recognized his visitor at ouce as Adelaide Munthrope.

She remained standing a moment, then seated herself at the table and seemed h) grope over its surface, at first care­fully and theu rapidly, as though dis- appoiuh'd at finding no writing mate­rials. Presently Boland’s diary fell un­der her hand, and opening it and draw­ing the pencil from its sheath, she wrote for, mayl>e, two minutes. Replacing

I the pencil, shutting the book and put- tinu* it where she found it, she rose, looked toward tho window again, and went out, closing the door after her. Boland heard her footsteps dying out down the long echo-breeding hall, and sprang from tho bed with perspiration oozing from every pore of his body.

He lit his lamp, drew on drawers, slippers, and ilressing-gown, thinking meanwhile that there was something queer about Adelaide Munthrope’s pres­ence iu the Grange while the owners and ccenpants seemed so worried and desirous as to her whereabouts. Hastily dressed, he took the lamp and walked to the door. I t was locked hard aud fast, even a chair, whicn he hail moved w h e n he had entered his room, stood iu such position that tho door could uot have been opened without striking aud pu.shing it. Boland gave a low whistle, stuck his kuuckles into his eyes and muttered:

“ Pshaw! what an ass I am. But it was the most reali.stio vision I ever ex­

i t reminds mo of many psjchological oddities I have read of, but never imagined I would enact in my own proper person.”

So satisfied was he that it was all a dream that he did not touoh his diary, but extinguished the lamp aud went directly to bed and to sleep.

In tbe morning he spoke of his “ dream ” to Bob, aud declared his won­der at tbo exactness and order of the whole affair.

“ Have you looked over your diary?” Hskeil his friend.

“ Oh dear! no. Tliat would bo Ito disturb my vivid recollection of tho

I scene. If 1 found all blank in tho book, i the dream would take rank with those ! absurd ones that every man has gone I through, as well as myst'lf, wherein I I have foniid myself picking up no end of gold aud silver coin, and never a pocket bo put it in; and those others tiiat liavo distrcsseil me by picturing my noble form pora<ling the publie streets, full dressed, except os to the important consideration of breeches.”

“ Well, lot’s look it over, anyhow,” said Mr, Bobort BuUen. “ Your de­scription is jolly dramatic, and if we iliscover that you were walking yourself and did some writing, while fancyiuga proxy, it will ho a stunning tale to tell.”

Boland produced his diary rather re­luctantly, aud proctieded to turn over tho leaves. Following his own entries, which were few, for the year waft still young, nlKiut a dozen blank pages had been scanned, when ho let tho book fall into his lap, and turned pale as a sheet. Ho looked at Bob, and said slowly and under breatli :

“ By Jove, Ikib, it was not a dream ; it WEIS Ein apparition. Don’t laugh at mo ; but my nerves have gone down about my heels ; I never supposed that

of ouo of those

sleep-destroying as though it were a I veritable Fox family rajiping fieance.

I ’ll dress in a shake, j or rather succession of ’em with the thermometer below zero and the fire out, and rout Bob Bullen out for company.”

He preimred for his venture, with that

“ That’s a call you can hardly neglect under the circumHtnno.o8. What are you going t<i do about it?”

Boland did not answer for full ten minutes, but then said, iu his firm, manly manner:

“ la m going to Birndale.”“ And I, too. If there is a niaidea to

champion, two knights mo better than

one lituce ; or I ’U be a simple esquire. We’d better say uothing to nobody, eh ?”

“ Gooil. I cau get the ueoessary let­ters of iutrodiict on to gain us admission, and iu t h e morning we can go over to the asylum liy tho time the doors are open.”

He was continually “ washing his hands with invisible soap, in imjierceptible water,” or touching his chin ivith his long, white finger as he periodically cleared his throat with a modest, seif-deprecatory “ Hem m-m*m.

Boland saw at a glance that if there was foul play anj where he would not get much aid from Dr. Gurliug to olem it up. He abaudoued the straightfor­ward tactics he first resolved on, aud asked quietly :

“ Have you any objectiou to showing us over yaur much-admired and widely- colebrateu institution ?”

“ Not at all,” rephed the superiutend- eiit. “ What particular feature are you most interested iu ? ” Th a question also oonvoyorl the sentiment: “ If you are browsing around here to find anything more than I want you to know, you might £18 well bundle out at ouce.”

“ No particular departmeut,” replied Rolaud, “ wo simply desire to look through the a.sylum.”

“ Very well, gentlemeu, this way.” Birndale is a very liEuidsome and a

model hospital for the insane; its archi tecture is modern, its accommodations ample, its arrangement orderly aud neat as wax-work; iu short, it gains unlimited admiratinu from all who inspect it. Robert Bullen was lost in its many wind­ing stairs, branching halLs, involved grades and nnexpeoted turnings aud twistings; but Boland was a natural ge­ographer; he never lost his sense of lo­cation or com]>arison, and when, at the end of three liours’ investigation, they reached I he doctor’s private apartments aud sat dowu to eike aud wine, he knew that there wels one little wing just over aud bEick of where he was sittuig, that they hot! not beeu shown; but he had studied the doctor too thoroughly te hint at the omission. When they left the hospital, Robert said, with a mourn­ful shake of the head:

“ Wild goose ! In the words of Ham­let, ‘ This spirit you may liave seen may bo a devil, aud the d“vil hath power to Eissume a pleasing shape.’ There are no creatures but mice iu Birndale we have not looked over. ”

“ Bob, Adelaide Munthrope is iu BirndEile, aud, for all 'we know, more like her, hidden away, in the name of law, without publie process, secure from even ofiicial intrusions, and subject to horrors ttiat make tbe memory of Torquemada aud the inquisition Eictually holy.

“ If there, we must have seen her.”“ Hardly a just couclusioa. Dr.

Guriing knows his business too well. However, I have a phm of finding out. I noticed a little saloon up from the sta­tion a quarter of a mile or so; if there are any tipplers among the guards or at­tendants. we will meet them there; aud if I think money oan buy one of them. I'll go te high figures rather than Qc.iss a point.”

For three days Roland hung about the pb(?o, taking precious g o ^ care that Dr. Guriing should not run across

aud the injustioe of my uooflaement here.”

Armed with this missive, tho two friends sped away to New York and laid the cose before one of tho Judgos iu Chambers, aud easily procured a wnt of habeas corpus Euid a detail of two clever detectives to serve it. They also swore out a warrant for illegal detention, to prevent Dr. Guriing from playing any little game to defeat their search and sucotws.

On Wednesday morning the smootli Doctor WHS surprised at another visit from RuUuid and his party. Lu reply to the Doctor’s “ What gave him the honor,” etc., Ltolaiid said ;

“ We have come for Miss Adelaide Miiuthrop, aud to make matters brief, allow me to introduce these gentlemen; otHcers of the court in New York, pro­vided with a writ for her custody.”

Dr. Gurliug reflected a moment, aud said :

“ Well, gentlemen, I suppose I must submit. I will give you no trouble, and explain the whole reason of her deten­tion on the understanding that I am uot to 1)6 molested, or the affair get wind to the injury of tlie institution."’

“ We can make no such bargain,” re phed Roland, “ except with the consent of Miss Mimthrope.”

At the doctor’s order Adelaide was brought to the parlor, Euid, after consul­tation, she Eigreed to the doctor’s terms, and that worthy unfolded the following villainous plot •

Adelaide Muuthmpe’s father, Nath­an’s elder brother, went to California in the early days, find wEis reported aud ciurentl^ lielieved, defid. He was a rascal—it seemed to run iu the family— and originated the report to save him­self from prosecution for a series of for­geries he had committed iu New York. He lived iu California, aud amassed great wefilth, aud died in the early part of 1872, leaving all his possessions to Adelaide, naming his brother Nathfin executor. Nathan kept hia counsel about tho legacy, had Adelaide too easi­ly committed to the asylum os a paying patient, aud was living iu the enjoyment of her inheritance. He had taken Dr. Gurliug into his confidence aud had {>aid magnificently for hw detention.

Adelaide cou.sonted to the arrest of her uucle, as the surest mosus of estab lishiiig her sauity aud recovering her property, but the smooth Supeiiuteu- dent was true to his patron aud too quick for Rolaud aud the officers. He tele­graphed to Natbau Munthrope that af­ternoon, aud the rascal gathered up whatever he could of VEdue, aud ab­sconded. Out of Adelaide’s fortune of nearly Lffif a million she recovered more than three hundred thou.sand. Mild had the search for her uncle aban­doned.

She had no recollection of any of tlie circumstances attending the means of the revelation made to liulaud at the GraUf^e. When shown the handwriting iu tho diary, .she confessed that it was hers. That night she had thrown her­self into au agony of despair upon her bed, dressed ; she awoke iu the moruiug with a sense of hope and relief, but was unable to account for its inspiration, aud was uot surprised when the keeper of the ward in which she was, so slyly handed her Roland’s letter, and suggest ed tbe mauner of reply, so that it must be clEissed with the cases of duality of existence aud palpable presence, of which there are mauy other iudisputable evidemms on record.

him nor his tnmks, and, at lost, his pa­tience was rewarded. He found iiisman, and paid smartly for his intelli­gence.

-\delaide Muuthrop* was in Birndale; the man had charge of that secret wing where patients were confined whose safety and removal from the world were matters of interest to the Doctor. They were kindly, nay, tenderly treated, for their death ended their oontribution of revenue ; they were mostly sane, at first, said the keeper, and mostly went mad after a while. The mad ones always lived the longest, for the others pined and died, in spite of good food and con­siderate treatment. The keeper could not get her out, nor devise a way to do it, but he oould give her a letter Euid bring a sort of sm luiswor.

“ And I ’ll pay poetEige one thousand dollMs a letter,” said Roland, “ and if{'ou are connected with the affair and oflo your place. I ’ll make it five hundred

a year els long Eis you live, if the lady is releaped.”

“ Make it sure,” said the keeper, “ and I ’m yours truly.”

Four days afterward the man receivoi’ from Roland all the assurance that legal documents and crisp cash can convey, and received a reply to the letter he hail SEint to Adelaide, in which he advised her to make a formal complaint of her immurement and those party to it. Adt- laido’s letter was simply a piece of brown paper, fuU of pin-holes. To have been detooted writing would have upset every­thing, but the shrewdest guard at tho asylum saw nothing suspicious in a pa­tient sitting by the grated window of tho ward, apparently pricking holes in a scrap of paper.

“ ThEuikOod for one ray of hope!” the answer road. “ I, Adelaide Mnn- thrope, appeal to all who have any idea of the horror of oonfiiiem^jt, save among the insane, to release me. Why I am kept in Birndale I know not, but pray to God, to the law, to eiU honest, nouoiable meu, to give me enlargement, or at least a chance to prove my sanity

Some of the horsemeu have a pistol at- tEiched to the hilt of the sword, forming a permaneiit jiortion of it.

When the reading was finished, the gentleman turned to his companions for a word or look of appreciation. He saw their faces aglow, their lips parted in an intensity of feeling, and their eyes bright with—wliat? Shade of Homer! “ Look, look there!” exclaimed one of tho ladies, with the utmost eagerness, “ that woman”—pointing to a lady on the opposite side of tho street—“ has got on a polonaiao buttoned up in the back!

.The Dublin /Veertan’* Journal gives the following aoooiutt of the aooident to Lu-Lu at Hengler’s oirous, Dublin : “ Lu la was hoiated up and went through a aeries of feats on the trapeze that were equally characterized by grace and daring. Then came the great feat­ure of the evening. Lu-lu and her manager, M. Farani, took their place upon the improvised platform, from wmoh it was rather pompously an­nounced she was to leap to a trapeze fifty feet above her. The audience w< re requested to concentrate tie ir attention upon her, as her movement, wore almost too rapid for the eye to follow, Lu-lu stepped upen top of the spring that was visible on a level with the floor of the platform. There was a dead silence among the audience, there was a slight click, as of some machinery, ana Lu-lu stepped quietly from the spring on to the platform. The audience applauded, and the manager explained that the mis­hap was doe to some easily remedied de­fect in the machineiy, and that Lu-lu would perform her almost equally oele- brated feat of tumbling three sOmer- saulbs in the air, which she accordingly did. Again she stepped on to the spring cautiously this time, and with a very noticeable hesitation. For a moment she stood half bent, with her hands down, and a nervous tremor passed through her limbs and boily. Again the sig:ual was givea. and this time with ter­rible effect. Lu-Lu was shot up through the air like a rocket But the direction, though not the force of the spring, was defective. Instead of rising, as she should have done, in a slanting direction towards the bar which she was to catch, and the ropes that bong above and be­low it, to prevent the possibility of fail­ure and accident, she was shot up in a sheer perpendicular line into open space. A fearful sight it was. She seemed for one moment, as she reacheil the highest j point to be poised in mid-air fifty feet 1 above ground, quite clear of the ropes ] and the trapeze. She gras]>ed wildly at i •epaoe, and then, with all her limtis rigidly extended, fell with fearful rapid­ity. Half her body struck tlie nettiug, wiiioh was not sufficiently extended to effectually save her, but which efl'ect- , uolly broke her falL She was jerked on*. 1 by the rebound, the back of her head struck the cushioned edge of the orches­tral compartment, and she rolled be­neath the platform. The audienca poured hke a torrent over the ’oarriers. amid shouts and screams and exprei- sions of compassion and consternation; and it was with the utmost difficulty that a semblance of order was restored, and the injured girl conveyed to the dressing-room behind. Dr. E. A. White was at once procured, and soon the re­assuring rumor, afterwanla officially con- lirmed, leaked out that the injuries were j not of a dangerous character.

A New Febrifuge.According to the French jouroal,

Constitut onef, a new febrifuge has been discovered, wliich will prove an excel lent Mubstitute for quinine, being the leaves of the laurel. The discovery is the result of e.xperiineuts of M, G. Do- ray, an apothecary of Saiut Lo, which were at once conclusive as to the cura tive effects of the new remedy, three grammes of powdered laurel leaves hav­ing cured many obstinate cases of fever. I t was found effective in one instance of African fever of long standing, in which sulphate of quinine had been tried in ^ain. The method of preparation ia simple. The ^reen leaves are dried by a gentle heat in a close vessel and pul­verized, being given in dosea of one j gramme in water. This discove.'jy w il l prove a boon to the poor, as quiiune i s J so eipensivo a drug as to be frequently j beyond their reach, while the laurel is ■ common in France, i iid the new prepa ' ration will be attainable at a cheaper | rate. It is also staterl that laurel has i ni»ne of the bad effects of quinine. j

The use of powerful explosives has been taken a'lvnntage of in this coiuitry far more than in the old oountries. There is one way in which it ia used, however, in Scotland, which we have not learned yet. Tliat is in clearing land of stumps and ttowlders. Large tracts of land near Edinburgh have been successfully and completely cleared by this means.

Perils of Bftllounlug.The most extraordinary balloon

atlventure ou record has just happened I to the aeronauts of the Alexandra ' Palace Company, London. Having ; attained a height of 8,000 feet, they three | times creased the Thames, and descended | in a large meadow near Eltliam, Kent. ‘ They were just letting off the pis when a large bull cliarged them, bellowing fu rio ^y . They threw the two last bags of sand ont of the car, and barelv escaped through the rising of the bal­loon. The bull scattered the Contents of the sand bags over the ground, and his boms, becoming entangled with the grapnel rope, set the grapnel free, throwing one aeronaut out of the car through till) jerk. Fortunately he suooeeded in clutching the netting, and, with his oompinion’s assistance, was liauled into the oar before it ha<l as­cended many tnuidred feet. They then sailed away for a mile, and descended in another meadow.

A large and very enthusiastic meeting was held at Sullivan Center, last Monday night, to discuss the Narrow Gauge Rail­way question. They are anxioua to have the road there, and will doubtless subscjibe lively to build it.

We are called upon this week to cju'oni- cie one of the saddest accidents tbn. haa hapjiened in this community for many a day. On last Monday afternoon, about three o’clock, old Nicholas Wilson, who lives about tUtllf oftown, on tlie famf'- Wilson’sGrove, WHS driving a team intotown, Im bpfl odeciinn touKjptbe railroad, wlien the horses became frightened at the noise by the whecki ^ they passed' over the Igat^, and mq until theycame to the grade at the west epd of Main street, and turning east, vau a favl: i ods and upset the wagon, ttirowing Mf. >Wilson into the hind wheel of the w$gOH. Unfor­tunately thers was no wagoo-box on the wagon, and the poor old man bad nothing hold to or brace himself against, and was therefore al the mercy of the tenm. He was carried around in the wheel for sever­al yards, receiving several severe cuts on the head and body, besides receiving severe internal injuries. When picked up he was unconaoiouB, and remained in that state, or nearly eo until relieved from his suflicring

cinity:; Ip to intiuiries io hogard .to theChicago & Bt Louis Air Liue Railroad, I will say that I was invited by Mr Fuller, the Secretary of the Company, to accom­pany him through tlie country along the line of road where lie expects to hold meet­ings with the people to explain to tliem the plan of the Company and learn whether they wanted a railroad ou such terms.

THE p e o p l e w a n t THE ROAD, but fliuy feel timid about taking liold of it, for the fact that they liave been so gulled by railroad projects that they are disgusted with Railroad ('ompanies, and the worst of it is they are uow struggling with ttye ac- cured interest on railroad bonds, given for railroad purposes, with no hopes whatever, of ever seeing either of the contemplated roads completed.

OUR RAILROAD W ILL RE BUILTif the people will lend the requu'cd aid. The project will stand or fall, according to the ett'orts pul forth by tlie people. If we subscribe for freight certificates, a sura equal to one dollar for each acre of land that will produce tribute to the line of traospottatioD, we will have the road, or wuqeed not pay. Whatever we promise to iRhy will not be due until we have tlie road, then it will be due and must be paid.

THE ADVANTAHBto faruteM deM^t freight at Chats­worth, is this: A certainty of a reduction of freight charges lo Chicago to about the same as from Gilman, which would be a reduction of thirty-nine cents on ilie dollar, a saving of tbiply-niue dollars from every one hundred dollars, as we now pay. The advantage to farmers along the lin^ of road, is a maiJtot ueifr home, instead of being AbH$4d to batil theif produce from ten to sixleep miles, as they now doj Another advantage to all, aside from the through line by rAU to Ctiicago, is water transporta­tion from the Eatikakee river to any part ’ou! tile Western waters. Corn is sold at a landing near the contemplated crossing, three cents per bushel higher thau al Kan­kakee City, and lumbbr is selling at retail for $13. per M. Thus we see that if our road was doing business now, lumber would be selling in Chatsworth at about $14.50 i>er AL, and corn would ^ worth
