THE MYSTERIOUS WIDOW. Dttrimr the summer of 1811, the Biitish hnil luid claim to ali Unit por tion of tho district of Maino lying east of the Penobscot. Shortly before the arrival ot the Einrlish nnuailion, Com modore Tucker had been sent arouud to Penobscot liny to protect the Amer ican coasters and while the British sailed up to CiuAiue, he was laying at Thomaston. It was .i schooner that tlio Comnio doie commanded, but it was a heavy one, well manned and armed ; and she carried the true Yankee "grit" upon her deck, of which the enemy had re ceived from them rather too many proofs. On tho morning of tho SJSth of August a messenger win bent down from Belfast with the intelligence that the British feared him, also that Sir John Slicibrook, of tho British ship had offered a large amount for his cap ture. The schooner's keel was just cleared from the mud, nnd one of Uie men had been sent upon the what f to cast olt iho bow-line, when :t wagon drawn by one horse, came rattling down to tho spot. Tho driver, it rough looking country man, got out upon the wharf, and then assisted a middle-aged woman from tlio vehicle. Tho lady h first inquiry was for Commodore Tucker. He was pointed out to her, and she stepped up on tlio s.'hooiier's deck and approached I tl in. "Commodore." sho asked, "when do you sail from litre '!" Wo pail right off, as soon as possi ble," ho answered. 'Oh, then, IMotow you will bo kind to mi'," the lady urged, in persuasive tones, ".My poor husband died yester day, and I wish to carry his corpse to Wisoasset, where we belong, and where his pruuts will take caro of it."

The kind hearted old Commodore was not tho man to refuse a favor, and though he did not like tho bother of taking tho woman and her strange no companient on boatd, vet lie could not refuse. Some of tho men were sent upon the whaif to bring the body on boaitl. A buffalo robe was lifted off by tho man who drove tho wagon i beneath It np pen it'll a neat, black cofliu.

Sho ox pieced her gratitude, and remarked that befoie she retired sho would liko to look and see that her husband's corpse was safe. This was, of course, gi anted and the hatch was lifted that she might go down into the hold. "1 deelntc,'' muttered Daniel Carter, an old sailor, who was standing nt the v heel, "sho takes on dro'fully " "Yen, poor thing I" said Tucker, ns he heard her sobs and groans.

Tucker smiled nt the man's quaint earnestness and went into the cabin. When the woman came up from tho hold sho looked about the deck of tho schooner for a few minutes and then went aft. There was something in her countenance that puzzled Carter. Ho was one of those who hail objected to the colliu being brought on board. The woman's eyes ran over thu schooner's deck with' a strange quick ness, and Outer eyed her very sharply. Soon sho went to tho traffrail, and then came and stood by tho bttmaclo again. "Look out, or you'll jibe tho boon," uttered the passenger. Carter ttai ted, and found that the mainsail was shivering. He gave the helm a couple ot spokes aport, nnd then east his eyes again upon the woman. '1 hniikeu maam, said Dan. ''Ha, hold on why bless my soul there's a bin spider in your hair.

Shortly after thu passenirer went bo- low and ere long Tucker came on deck. "Commodore," said Carter, with a remarkable degree of earnestness in his manner, "is tho 'oiiinn turned in?" "I rather think so," said Tucker, looking at the compass. "Look out, look out, Caiter. Why, man alive, you're two points south'rd of your course." "Blow me, so I am," said the man, bringing the helm smtrtly a pott. "But say, didn't you notice something pecu lia'r about the old 'oman V "Why, Dan, you seem greatly inter ested about her." "So I am, Commodore, an' so I am about the lollin, too. Wouldn't it be well for you and I to overhaul it?" "lVhaw 1 you're as scared ns a child in a graveyard.'' "No, not a bit. Just hark a bit. That '0111:111 ain't no 'oman '' The Commodore pronounced the name of his sutanio majesty in the most emphatic man ner. "It's the truth, Commodore. I pur lended there was a spider on her hair, and I rubbed my hand agin her face. By Sam Hyde if it wasn't as rough and bearded as a holy stone. You see, she told me as how I'd let tho boom jibe if I didn't look. I knowed there was no 'oman there, and so I tried. Call somebody to the wheel and let's go and look nt the cofliu." Tho Commodore was thundcrstrtiuk by what he heard but with a cool pres cuco of mind tlir.t made him what he was he set calmly to thinking. In a few minutes ho called one of tho men to relievo Carter, and thon went down to look after his passenger. The latter had turned in and seemed to be sleep ing. Tucker returned and took Carter to otic side. "No noise, now, Carter, follow mo is though nothing had happened." "sartin. Tho two approached tho main hatch and stopped to reach it, when Dan's lantl touched a small ball that seemed to have been pinned up tinder the break ot tlio natcn.

It was with much difficult that tho Commodore prevented tho aicn from killing his man on tho spot. Ho prov ed to be ono of the enemy's oilicer, and ho was to havo a heavy reward if ho succeeded in destroying tho Com modore and his crew. Tho prisoner was carried on deck and lashed to tho main ligging. "Whnt a horrid death that vidian meant for usl" uttered Carter. "Yea tic did," said Tucker with a shudder. "IIo belongs, to the samo gang that's been robbinMthd bttrnin' tho poor folk's houses on tht&asiern coast," said one of the men. 1 "Yes," said tho Commodore, with a nervous twitcli of the muscles nbout the mouth.

Perhaps lie jumped over board." The old Commodore looked sternly in Carter's eyes, and ho saw a twinkle of satisfaction gleaming there. He hesitated a moment ; then ho turned away, and muttered to himself "Well, well, I can't blame them. If tlio murderous villian lias gono to his death, he's only met a fate which he deserved." Wo aro going to lose tho Dog Star. That most brilliant of tho heavenly ho9t which stud tho Northern skies, is deserting the earth, and nothing can be done about it. Tho spectroscope, whose "microscopic eye" can measure distances too small tor thought, has discovered that Sirius is travelling off in a tangent nt a dogged pace of twenty miles a second Tlio influence of such a fact on the solar system, and par ticularly on this planet, cannot bo calculated. It is a matter of history that in ancient times tho Dog Star was supposed to bo more powerful than ho today, the very name 01 Dog nssociatcd with his baneful influence. As soon :h ho began to rise above the main, a distemper fell upon all canino flesh they became rabid "both mon grel, puppy, whelp and hound, and curs of low degree." It was the Dog Star's misfortune, not his fault, that lie roso at such a timo and gained such a timo and gained such nn opprobrious reputation. Because the sun's rays, lulling on rank vegetable rcftiso 111 tho lands of Greece, caused "mephitie miasmas'1 to arise, and men sickened and dogs burst from all the restraint t their better nature?, birius, ranging high in unconscious glory, was made to bear the blame, and though innocent of the charge, is even now looked upon askance by somo unen lightened souls. Perhaps a rumor of this melancholy slander nnd libel has reached him ; at any rate, tho fact is no less deplorable that in the course of tune we shall miss his bright presence trom beside tho lsear. Unon will weep in vain for his faithful compan ion, and the Noith Star, sitting with sad forebodings aloof from her former throne upon tlio pole, will curso tho day that drove so bright a mato away. it the lact was not proved beyond a loubt, it is possible that we should not discover any appreciable diminution 111 tho Dog Star's brightness.

Last week tho United States court, 111 W ashington, issued a bench war ant lor tho arrest ot exfceiiator Dorsey, This must bo a pleasing fact for tho republicans to contemplate. It was only somo lilteen months ago that a dinner was given in this city to this samo Uorsey, as a testimonial ot tho efficient manner in which he had proad tho greenbacks over Indiana for ho election of Garfield and Arthur. On Unit occasion republicans of high degree, stalwarts anil half-breeds com bined, vied with each other to do honor to this king among ballot bribers. To him they owed tho suc cess of their ticket and tho renowed opportunity of another four years' least at tho public crib. Why should they not havo assembled to do him honor? Why should not Chester A. iVrthur nnd J. Whilelaw lleid havo raised tlm flowing bowl to his valor? Garfield owed his election to his work and tht was enough forlieid. Arthur was raised to tho vice presidency by his hand, and that was a sufficient pretext. But behind all this there was another tale. Dorsey was commended for tho manner in which ho had hand led tho republican sinows of war. Thoso sinews of war had been ob taincd from Brady and his colleagues, who now, with Uorsoy, are indicted as conspirators and public plunderers. under these circumstauces it must bo a pleasant reflection for Chester A.

IIow Prize-Fighters Die. Ben llogan, tho reformed pugilist, lately told n Chicago News reporter that prize flgliU rs die prematurely of weak ness and disenso brought on by their injuries. In fact, they die ator before tlio timo when, if thoy had not been prize fighter?, they would havo been nt tlio prime of life. Charley Oallager died nt tho age of 80, of coiisuihption, caused by nn injury received in his fight with Davis. Davis fell on him planting his kneo in his upper left breast. Brandy bears tho blamo of killing Tom Saycrs, but in my opinion he died of injuries inflicted by John C. Ileenan. Ilecnan jumped oil a train nud hurt himself, and some lay tlio blamo of premature death on the acci dent, but ho died of consumption, pro duced, in my opinion, by over-training and by the punishineut ho got in fights with Saycrs and Kin. John Morris soy's deatli is laid on llright's disease, but ho stood boating enough to kill ten men, nnd I bclicvo that is what killed him. Yankee Sullivan is said to have been killed by a vigilance committee, but tho truth is that Tie went crazy from ittie injuries to his head ho had received, and committed suicide by opening an artery. Pntsy Jtiordun, ono of the grandest men physically that over lived, died at !!0 years of age, a complete phjsical and mental, wreck. Bod lliddlc died tlio samo way, tho flesh dropping off his fingers. Joo Womblo died in a Montreal insano asylum. And so thoy go all of them dying at what ought to bo ttic primo of life. Preservation of Iron. A novel way of preserving the sur faces of iron has just been discovered. Tho treatment is as follows: Tho iron is subjected to the action of diluted hy drochloric acid, which dissolves the iron, and leaves on tho surface a pellicle of homogeneous graphite, which adheres well to the surface of tho iron. The )ieco to bo preserved is next treated, in a hydratuically closed receiver, by hot or cold water, or, better, by steam, 111 such a manner as to completely dis solve and remove the chlorido of iron formed. Finally tho piece of iron is left to dry in tho receiver, from which ul htiiiid has been removed. A solu tion of caoutchouc, gutta pcrcha, or gum resin in essence of petroleum 19 then uneaten. Un tho essence being evaporated, there remains a solid en amel like coat on the surtnee 01 the iron. Instead of previously eliminat ing the iron salt, it may bo utilized in lorming a kind ot vitreous enamel, r-or this purpose the iron is immersed, after treatment with tlio acid, inn bath ot silicate and borate of soda. A very pure and brilliant silico-borate of iron I. r , ...i-i. ..1 . I. ., r is ioruicu, which ciuses 141 ihu 'ui-.-s ui the metal. As to tho disengaged chlorine, it combines with free soda, forming chlorido of sodium, which remains dis solved in tho liquid. Thus tho impor tant question ot tho preservation of iron appears to havo been brought another step toward solution. A Dog Oar, Tho Pullman Paluco Car Company has recently placed upon the Pennsyl vania Kailroad a hunting car, especi ally constructed for the use of hunts men desirous of reachiug their destination without suffering the inconvenience incident to such excur sions. Tho car, which resembles an ordinary baggage car in outward appearence, is fitted up with conven iences for dogs, baggago and other sporting paraphernalia, whilo a portion has been partitioned off for sleeping apartments,cooking and other homelike comforts for the hunters. The ken nels set apart for the dogs aro arrang ed, in tiers around the sides of the car, and thoy aro built with a view of giving the best possible attention to the occu pants.

I was also troubled with hoarseness, and Thomas' lt,cIectiTo Oil always relieved me. .My wito and child hud diptheriu, and Thomas' Kelectrio Oil cured them," and if taken in time it cures seven times out of ten. I am confident it is 1 cure for the most obstinate cold or cough, and if any onu will tnko a small teaspoon and halt fill it with tho Oil, and then place tho end of tho spoon in one nostril and draw the Oil out of tho spoon into tlio head by sniffing as hard as they can, until the Oil falls over into the throat, and practice that twice a week, I don t caro how ollen- sivo their head may be, it will clean it out and euro their catarrh. For deafness and earache it has done wonders to my certain knowledge.
