Tho story of tlio reliuf fxpcililidn ectit Mit by tho United Stales in fenrch of Licutvnnnt Orcely nnd hU jifirtv. itC'iiniiuied in tlio Arctic iccioiic, la full of iuteiist. Particulnrly lialliolio is this ncconnt of how a pcnrcli paity from tlio relief vessels carno nurosa tlio seven survivors : At last Ilia boat arrived at tlio site of tlio wrcck-caclio, nnd the slioro was eagcily Fcanncd, but nothing uoul.l bo seen, ltotindin the next point, the cutter opened out tho covo beyond. T hero on tho top of tho littln ridge, fif ty or sixty yurtis auove tho tco-loOl, was phinly outHiicd tho liguru of a man. Instantly tho coxswain caught till tin! boat hook and waved liin Hag. Too man on tho ridgo had scon them, for ho stooped, nicked up tho signal ilag from tho rock, and waved it in ro ply. Then ho was seen coining (.low ly and cautiously down tlio steep rocky slope. Twice he fell down urfoio ho reached tho foot. As lio approached, still walking feebly ami with difficulty, Colwcll hailed him from the bow of tho boat : "Who all aro there left V "Seven left." As tho cutter struck the ice, Colwell junipid off and went up to him. lie was a ghastly eight. Ilis checks were hollow, his eyes wild, his hair and board long and matted. His army blotiM1, covering several thicknesses of shirts and jackets, was ragged and dirty. lie wore a little fur cap and rough mocas-ins of nntanuod leather tied around tho legs. As ho spoke, his titteranco was thick and mumbling and in his agitation his jaws worked in convulsive twitches. As tho two met, tho man, with a Bndden impulse, took off his glove and nhook Col well's hand. "Where are they t" asked Colwell briefly. "In tho tent," said the man, pointing over his shoulder, "over tho hill the tent is down." "Is Ir. Grecly alivef" "Yes, Greely.'s alive," "Any other officers ?" 'No.1' Then ho repeated "Tho tent is down." absently, "Who ore you?'1 "Long." Before this colioquy was over, Lowe and Norman had started up tho hill. Hastily filling his pockets with bread, and taking tho two cans of pemmlcati, Colwell told tho coxswain to take Long into the cutter, and started after the others with Ach. Heaching tho crest of tho ridge, and look ing southward, thoy saw spread out before them a des olate expanse of rocky ground, sloping gradually from a ridgo on the east to the ice-covered shore, which at tho west made in aud formed a cove. 15ack of the level spaco was a range of hills rising up 800 feet, with a precipitous faje, broken in two by a gorge,through which tho wind was blowing furious ly. On a little elevation directly in front was tho tent. Hurrying across tho intervening hollow, Colwell came up with Lowe and Norman, just as they were greeting a soldierly looking man who had just come out from tho tent. As Colwell approached, Noi man was saying to the man : "There is tho lieutenant." And ho added to Colwcll : "This is Sergeant Brainard." llrainard immediately drew himself up to tho "position of a soldier," and was about to salute, when Colwell took his hand. At this moment there was a confus ed murmur within tho tent, and a voico said : "Who's there'" Norman answcrul : "It is man Norman who was in the teus." Nor. Pro- "Oh, This was followed by crirs of it's Norm in!" an 1 a sound liko a fee- bio cheer. Meanwhile ono of tho relief patty, who in his agitation and excitement was crying like a child, was down on his hands and knees trying to roll away the stones that held down tho flapping lint doth. The tent was a "tepik'' or wigwam tent.with a flap attached. Tlio fly with its posts and ridge-polu had bi'inwiecked by tho gale which had been blowing for thirty-six hours, and the polo of the tepik was toppling over, aud only kept in plnco by the guy opes. Theio was no entrance except under tho flap opening which w.n huhl down by stones. Colwell called for a knife, cut a slit in the lent cover and looked in. It was a bight of horror. On ono tddo closo to tho opening, with his head tow ard the outside, lay what was ap parently a doad man. llis jaw had dropped, his eyes wete open, but fixed and glassy, his limbs wero motionless. On the opposito eido was a poor fellow, alivo to bo sure, but without hands or fcet.and with a spoon tied to the stump of his right arm. Two others seated on tho ground in tho middle, had just got down a rubber bottlo that hung on tho tent pole, and wero pouring from it into a tin can. Directly opposite, on his hands and knees, was a dark man with a long matted beard, in a dirty and tattered dressing gown with a lit tle red skull cap ou Ids head, aud bril liant, staring oyes. As Colwell appear ed, ho raised himself alittlo and put on a pair of eye-glasses. "Who are you!" asked Colwell. Tho man mado no answer, staring at him vacautly. "Who aroyouf again. Ono of tho men spoko up; "Thai's tho Major Major Grecly." Colwcll crawled in and took him by tlio hand, paying to him, "Greely, is this you V "es," said (Jieely in a faint, broken voice, hesitating and shuttling with his words, "Yes seven of us left hero wo aro dying like men. Did what I camo to dobeat tho best record." Then ho fell back exhausted. Au offort has been mado to cultivate the nettle TJrtica diolca, with tho ob ject of obtaining from it a material suit able for weaving. A lady in Gormany haa raised nettles on patches of waeto or nearly profitless land, and has secur ed a crop which lias yielded fibres of such firmness and tenacity that she has induced somo farmers in her neigh borhood to try what farther improve ment can be affected in tho ncttlo by growing it en soil formerly dovotcd to wheat. BLOOMSBUIIG, PA., FRIDAY, JUNE 5, Fatal fall of a Orowiled Tenement. Tho three-story Iratno tenement-, hotisoNo. 19 Colgago street, Jersoy. City, tumbled down shortly before' seven o'olook ono day last Week. Four persons wero killed and eleven others dangerously injured. Tho house was owned by .fames Anderson, who with his wifu and five childten, occupied tho first lloor. Thu olho occupants of the building wero Hugh McGuidy, his wife nnd two children j Michael Webb, wife nnd two children ; Patrick Carlin, wife and five children, and John Coyne, wife and five children. All theso peo ple, with the exception of Anderson, wero in tho houso when tho crash camo. Tho house wai known to bo insecure aud Anderson hid madu arrangements lo havo it repaired the next week. Tho list of tho victims is as follows : Tin: DiiAD. llernard Andeisou, 10 years old, smothered in bed. Nellio Andeison, 8 yeais, spino bro ken. Mary Anderson, 8 months, smoth ered.

Tho collapse was as sudden as it was complete. Hugh McGuidy who was on tho top floor, said that ho had just Bprung out of bed when ho felt tho building rocking. Ho paid no atten tion to it, as it was not unusual, but a moment later there was a creaking sound and tho walls began to crack. He remembered no more until he 'was dragged out of the ruins. When Mrs. Anderson heard tho cracking she and her five children wero in hod. Sho arose hurriedly and arousing her chil dren directed them to leave. Heforo they could do so tho houso fell in with a crash. Mrs. Anderson, who had managed to mako her escape, stood on tho sidewalk while tho debris was ho ing examined, and when the, bodies of three of her children wero placed in nn ambulance sho fell fainting into tho arms of a friend. Her husband, who is employed as a baker in the Hudson County Penitentiary, was sent for, and when ho arrived tlio scene between him and his wife was very affecting. TAKIN'll OUT Till! VICTIMS. The crash alarmed tho peoplo in tho vicinity and as tho cloud of dust arose from where the houso stood tho street filled with people. From tho heap of broken and disjointed timbers camo cries and moans of distress. An alarm was rung and the Firo Department was speedily at the place. At that hour in tho morning no lires had been kindled in any of the apartments in tlio houso and the ruins did not take fin-, as it was supposed they would. Tho firemen did excellent service in dragging tho dead and injured from thu rums and keeping the crowd back from doing the injured ones any further harm. MrH. Webb was almost crazed by ex citement and grief.' 'Oh, what dul I care if tho Lord took me to Himself if ho only spared my poor darling boy Mike t" exclaim ed she. "I am so bewildered that I hardly think sometimes that I havo lost him j but God's will bo done. 1 never thought I was born lo meet any uflliction like this." "Did you have any idea that you wero in danger X' "I was first startled by tho cracking of oue of tho lloor beams under the front window. I rani down stairs aud had just cleared tho doorway below when tho whole place, I thought, camo tumbling ubout my cars. Whether I fainted I cannot tell, but tho neigh bors and firemen rushed to our assist ance. Tho last I remember about my noor boy Mike was when ho called out, '-Mother, what is the matter? whoro aro you going V as I was rushing out. He was then tying "his shoes over near tho window whero I hoard tho croaking. Oh, I wish I had taken him along with tne. He was in tho worst part of the house, for tho stovo on the next lloor was just over his head. Oh, God have mercy on my sweet boy I" Tin: IIomk I'apku, An exchango puis it rather forcibly in this manner : When a marriage occurs in one's fami ly, ho likes to see a mention of it in his local piiper. When his folks aro visit ed or visiting ho expects to seo it in the paper.

According to sliliutics, novels con- stltuto uino tenths of the books read in England, and niuctcen-twcnlieths of tho books read in tho world. Shot Herself for Love. Two young men and a young cirl walked down Union nventio in Wil liamsburg, shortly after 11 o'clock one evcnlngjast week Tho girl gesticu lated and talked in an excited manner. Her companions were evidently tryinif to. calm her, The girl, however, becamo more excited, and as they ncared the corner of South Fifth street sho stop tied suddenly and exclaimed in a votco loud enough to bo heard by tho people on the strcot : "Wo must come lo somo understanding, Eugene, una ol lier companions seized her by the arm and talked in an undertone. They all then walked on. Arriving opposite lietgers oyster nnd chop houso at No. 37 Union avenue, they went inside. As thoy passed from tho street into tlio gas light tho girl's beauty attracted tho attention of all in the restaurant. Sho was a brunette, with Urge, bril liant black eyes and long black hair. Sho woro a neat-fitting suit of some black material and a small hat with a large feather. Sho appeared to bo about twenty-two- years of oge. Her companions wero both vountr and well- dressed. The threo sat at a table in tho darkest corner oi the reBtaurant. Tho men ordered oysters and beer. The gill called for a glass of lemonade. Neither party spoke for some minutes. Tho uirl sinned her lemonade and tap ped nervously upon tho tablo with her tan. JMnally sho pushed aside tho glass and spoko to ono of her compan ions in a low tone, ono Docamo ex cited, raised her voico and knocked upon tho tablo. Her companion lis tened, but did not mako any teply. "Aro you going to marry me !"' sho suddenly asked. Her companion mado somo reply tu a low tono and then left tho tablo. Tho girl sprang to her feet, but as tho man passed out of sight she sank back into her chair and sobbed. Her remaining companion spoke to her and they left the icstaurant. They waikeu up union avenue towards bouth Fifth street. A fow moments later Policemen Trenchant and Sprago, of tho Sixth Precinct, hoard a pistol-shot. They rushed lo Union avenue and South Fifth street. Peoplo ran thither from ovet y direction. Lying upon the side walk was tho boautifnl young girl. Standing over her wore both her com panions. A small stream of blood trickled from a hole m her breast. Sho was conscious, but gasping for breath. Tho young'.man who had left her so suddenly in the restaurant, knelt down and raised her head upon his arm. She opened her eyes and tried to speak. A rush of blood choked her. Somo ono hurried to Herrcr's restaurant and ro turrcd with a glass of water, a towel and a picco of ice. An effort was made to 'stop tho flow of blood, and somo water was poured down her throat. Tho girl moaned and tried hard to speak. With nn effort which caused another hemorrhage sho said : "I am dying, Eugene, and it is your lauit 1 A shivt'r passed through her frame and she was dead. In a few moments an ambulance ar rived. As tho body was lifted a small ivory-handled, nickel-plated revolver rolled from the folds of her dress. One chamber was empty. Tlio body was taken to tho Sixth Precinct Station house, on Stagg street. Tho two young men and Charles Berger, the proprietor ot tlio restaurant wero placed under ar rest. At tho station-house it was learned that the girl was Lizzie Spinger, tho daughter of Joseph Spinger, of No. 138 Gwinnett street. Sho was twenty- two years ot age. iter companions were Eugene Uallay, twenty-threo years old, ot No. 333 South Third street, and D. Wobstor Haines, aged twenty four year, of No. 57 Lynch sjreet. Hallay is a class manufattirer and Haines is a clerk for a Wall Street bro ker. Tho pistol was a lied Jacket re- .olver. No. 3. In tho girl's pocket was found a photograph of Ballay, upon which was inscribed, "Euger.o Ballay to Lizzio Spinger." Ballay said that ho had known tho girl for somo time, and that he had met her Tuesday night by appointment, otie had sent him tho following nolo : Eugene. You will please be kind enough aud seo mo to night at 10 o'clock without fail, corner Union avonuo at the church ; and if you want to seo mo before call at tho samo placo whoro we wero last night. Jiy so doing you will oblige greatly yours always, Lizzik. P. S. Please without fail. Ho met tho girl at 10 o'clock. Ho was shortly afterwards joined by iiatnes, anu tticy went to liergers res tauraut. He left the girl and Haines in the restaurant nnd started for home, when ho heard tho pistol shot. He ac knowledged that tbero was a love af fair between him aud tho unfortunate girl, and that sho had threatened to shoot him and herself. He offered no further explanation. tlainoa said that thero had beou a bcoiio in tho restaurant. They parted with Ballay aud started down Union avenue together. Thoy had gone but a short distauco when tho girl sudden ly drew a rovolvcr from hor pocket and I.- if c-i... i .1.1 t tsuui iRTnuii. one sam iioimug ueiore alio 1 1 red tlio latal shot. The unfortunate cirl resided with her parents on Gwinnett street. She was employed in a tailoring establish ment kept by Louis Doll, at No. 03 Walton strcot, "Ballay never visited our house Mrs. Spiiigcr said, "but Lizzio used to meet him by appointment. 1 don't know that they were ongaged, Mr well, j.tzzios employer, warned me against Hallay. I was led to believe that Ballav had givon my daughter up aud sho was receiving attentions from a young tinsmith, She told Mr. Doll somo days ago that sho had purchased a pistol and was going to shoot Hallay, but no thought that sho was joking. Mary Wolf, an intimate frieud of tho dead girl, gave way to tears when sho was questioned about nor unjortu nato companion, "Wo have been friends for years,' shu said. "Lizzie was vory much in lovo with Hallay and I don't think ho treated her right. I nover huard her oompla'.u about Ballay, but sho fro iiuently threatened to commit suioido. When she was sixteen years old she was attached to a young man, Ho dis appeared aud she was very much afToo ted. I havo heard her say : "Never mind, if thiiifra don't turn out right I 1885. will mako short work of invself.' Sho showed mo hor revolver and said that it had been civon her bv a friend, and that sho had taken oath never to tell ho tlio friend was. Upon leaving her home Monday roning tho girl loft tho following note' r her mother : Dkak Mamma : Donl' ho worried about mo. I am all right. Will ex plain my absence and return to you soon Lizzn;. Coroner Hess made an autopsy and found that the bullet had penetrated her heart. There was no evidence of crim inal intimacy. An inquest was hold. Charles Hcrger, tho proprietor of the oyster saloon, and tho two policeman, told what they had seen and heard, as narrated above. Ballay told what had happened during tho evening and add--cd : "I never saw a rovolvcr in her possession. Sho nover intimated to mo that she was in any trouble or would commit suicide.

"There is a decided difference in tho shapo of pcoplo's feet in different sec tions ot the country, ' said a member of ono of tho largest shoe manufacturing firms in Philadelphia. "In tho eastern states tho feet aro narrower and some what longer than in tho west, whilo in tho south thoy aro not only narrow but possess vory much higher insteps. So much is this tho caso that wo aro oblige ed to keep throe sets of lasts for tho three sections. That comes to bo a largo item, I can assure you, when it is re membered the number of sizes that are in i-ajh set. For example, in one size alone wo havo the initial number say. soven ; then thero aro narrow soven, broad seven, seven' and a quarter (narrow and broad), seven and a half (narrow and broad) that if, twelve pairs of lasts to ono size, and to each of these sizes wo must have three different stvles for the section of tho country to which wo aro going to send our goods that is, thirty-six pairs of lasts to ono sizo pair of boots. Sounds rather extravagant. doesn't it 1 Of course, this is onlv tho case with firms who deal with all theso sections. "Some firms only send their goods to one part of tho country. Now, you would bo surprised to bo told that in different sections of tho country differ ent shapes of toes of boots nro requir ed. Out in the west nothinor will suit but tho square-toed shoe, whereas in tho eastern states tho square too would bo in stock i'a century aud then never sell. Uilteient parts of tho country re- quiro different kinds of leather, also. In tlio north and west a tougher, hard er leather can bo worn than in tho south, whoro not only a soft 'upper' is necessary, but, owing to tho sandyhot soil, quite thin soles aro necessary. For this kind of wear it is not unusual to uso imported leather that is, for tho 'uppers' but for soles wo employ do mestic productions almost exclusively. Philadelphia Times. Ladies Using Figures npon which to fit Garments Made by Themselves. A curious feattiro of the homo dress making furor that has seized upon so many ladies this spring is tho introdtio tion of what are termed figure forms. Ladies who never thought of sucli a thing before aro making a largo part of their outfits themsolvcs,and even young ladies in society, though thoy daro not trust themselves to get up their own finest things, aro trying their hands, with what assistance thoy can get, at maKing tueir own tennis suits and knock-about dresses for tho mountains and seashore. Theso figure-forms uro made of pa- pier macue and can easily be adjust ed to any height. They also coinu in so many varieties and sizes that with very little chango and alteration they can bo mado exact fao similes of the figures of the ladies who uso them, with every proportion of bust, arm, neck aud waist exact. With ono of theso a lady has comparatively llttlo difficulty in fitting herself. With completed parts of a costumo draped on the lay figures sho contrasts and studies the effect, ns woll as examine the fit, and is thus enabled to tell satisfactorily in advance how everything will look. Going a step fuither somo ladies have Heads on their hgurc forms, on which they placo and fit hats and bonnets and aro in this way enabled to study out and anticipate every detail of their ap pearance. This plan of having models has been found so convenient that a number of fashionable and wealthy ladies who havo a great many dresses made and who nre anxious to avoid tho fatigue and annoyanco of so many fittiugs have themselves carefully reproduced in papier mache, so that when they como to see about a suit they stretch themselves back at ease in a cushioned ohair aud wait while the dress maker tlls her assistant to "bring down Miss Smith1' or "Mrs. Brown out of tlio clos et," as tho caso may be. Tho dresses are then fitted ou tho lay figure. Philadelphia Times, Statistics show that ono hundred thousand people nro killed by whiskey whero one person is killed by a mad dog.

X1X.NO 81 COLUMDIA DEMOCKAT, VOL.IIIXJ Np ,U THE FAVORITE CUTS OF BEEF AND HOW TO TELL THE MEAT IS FRESH POINTS ON VEAL, FISH, FOWL, ETC. Tho housekeeper who tries 16 make both ends meet should khow a thing or two about purchasing her1 'edibles how to gtt them o'h'eaply and how t6 get her money's worth. American housekeepers have lots to learn in tho choico and purchases of meats to" the best advantage. American butchers themselves aro in somo mcasiiro to blame from the way they cut up their meat. In England, where meats, es pecially beef and mutton, aro better understood than in any other countries, tho mode of cuttinc up is verv differ cut from pur way.. Their, priino cuts arc all prime, to tho exclusion of any inferior attachments, and for such the highest prices can bo demanded with a clear conscience. Then comes' the cuts, ranking next in quality and pr(ee; and so on all down the scale to U15 cheapest and most inferior parts, so that both seller and buver can know- just exactly what is being disposed of anil 1110 just, equivalent. However, thouirh that is a inichtv fair wav. it, couldn't bo made to work iu this coun try. American butchers nre obliued in self-defense, to somewhat combino tho excellent and jKtorer parts in their cuts, especially in the matter of beefi lo, meet tho requirements of housekeepers here, who, for the most pari, never know how to cook thu poorer parts alone in as palatable a manner as housekeepers yf otlffcr, ;puutries, where meat is far scarcer and dearer than bore, and must consequently be mado to' g6 further and moro as a genuine treat than in this co'untiy. However, our own consumers, may bo taught to considerably improvo their chances of obtaining their fall monoy s worth' by observing a few simplo rules. In tho gendral selection of beef, for instance, tho ' housekeeper, will do well lo re member that, il young, it will, have a line, smooth, open gratn,a good, wholo somo redness o,f color, anjl will ,feol tender, while the, fat should bo whito rather than yolldy tho whiter and firmer tho better. Indeed, when tho fat of 'beef is of a deep or dull color tho meat is seldom good,, and should bo systematically avoided. When fed with oi cakes tho fat of beef will ,1)6 usually of this color, anil the flcsli flab by. In tho selection of any cut pf ,beef whatever, a strict observance of these simplo rnles' will suffice to insure even the most .inexperienced buyer against impositions. Then again, it beef is ovcrfresh, the fact will make itself ap parcritby tho smoll, which will be'sug gestivo bloodiness, quite as' readily as 111 the caso of ovorkept or tainted beef, whoso, odor is sipkeniug., The last precaution will apply ,to every other kind of meat as well as to beef. In tho way of 'steaks there is ono sort and a moderately prised one, that lias not its superior tor juicmess, nutri ment, general flavor, and economy. This is the flank steak;- It is torn out of a bnlk of pure fat, in which it is thoroughly imbedded as aro in the kid neys thomselves, is boneless as a mat ter of course, and, after being deprived of a thin flimy skin and properly Scor rod cries-cross with tho knife, together with somo pounding, if somewhat old, can't bo beat either for boiling or fry ing. In some oities tho flank steak commands tho highest price, not even' excepting the porterhouse, but it as yet comparatively unknown, and con sequently cheap, retailing between fourteen and sixteen cents a pound. Economical housewives would do well to go for it while it remains cheap. In selecting veal, but ono general rule is necessary. The whitest is tho most juicy, nnd theretoro prefer able. Mutton should bo judged by its fine grain, good color, and white tat, and lamb will speak for itself on much tho samo principles. If tho latter has a greenish or yellowish cast it is stale and unfit to eat. A hint or two about mutton stows. Tho best, as well as the cheapest, for this purpose,is tho breast. This part can bo bought for four or fivo cents a ponnd, and a breast weigh ing three pounds would make nn amplo stew or main dinner dish lor threo Or four grown persons with lively appe tites. If tho nnd of pork is tough and thick, then it's old : if it's thin and springy, then it's young, and young porK is most desirable, w hen pork is fresh tho meat will bo smooth and cool i if clammy, il is tainted, and shouldn't bo touched with a forty-foot poie except, may be, lor sausages. In choosing bacon, see that tho rind is thin, the fat firm and of a reddish tinge, and the lean of a good color and slicking pretty fast to the bono. It is then good, and not old., If you're par ticular about a ham, just stick a sharp knifo under the bone. If it comes out with It clean, pleasant smell, it is good.

If old the eyes will bo sunken and tho feet iry. Iu chpos. ing ueus seo that tho legs aud comb aro limber, which means that they aro young. If tho legs and combs aro rougli and stiff, thev aro old. but mav bo good enough for a pio or eoup. A young gooso will havo a yellow bill and limber feet.
