The Gcrmantowu Telegraph sava :
Let not onr readers forget that much of
the weakening of our fruit trees is
owing to ahaolnte atarvation caused by
the workings of atom borers. The
supply of Rap upward is out off by every
hole which they make, and is just so
much put in the way of the tree get ting
all the food it needs. Is is no use to
manure trees, and keep our eye on all
other cultural details, if these rascals
are permitted to continue their depre
dations. This is one of the lwst seasons
of the year to look after and destroy
them. The eggs laid during the sum
mer are now developed to a considerable
"worm," and it is working its way
down between the hark and wood, or
even into the wood, ao as to get com
fortable quarters for the winter. Their
presence can be readily ascertained by
noting a little fresh-looking matter like
sawdust near the tree at the surface of
the gronnd, which the larva> eject in
their boring course. To destroy them
get a trowel and dig awav a little from
the stem, so as to find exactly the
opening of the channel made Ivy the
insect, and then thrust down a piece of
stiff wire upon it, which will generally
end its day. To many this looks like a
considerable job ; but a smart hand can
get through with several hundred trees
a day in tnis search, as the fresh dust
affords an unerring cine to the direct
whereabouts of the marauder. This is
not only a good season to look after
this pest on this account, but as it is
the cider time the owner is generally
about the orchard now and can oversee
the work and aid it by his advice or
personal assistance.
1N,,,,, Awonf Apple Trc.
Abont this time of year, says the Ro
chester Union, there is always s "scare"
abont the apple crop, which is generally
made out ot whole cloth for the benefit
of grower* and dealers, to be reaped st
the expense of consumers. The Lock
port Journal, however, makes seme
statements that appear to be well
grounded, and as Niagara is one cf the
largest, if not the largest, apple grow
ing county in the State, they are of in
terest. It sav* a disease is" prevailing
iu the orchards there that has destroy
ed many trees. It manifests itself in a
curling of the leaves ; the* hark dies ;
then the body of the tree dies upward
about a foot from the ground ; the dis
ease also extends into the root several
feet, and kills the whole tree. The hark
tightens and adheres firmly to the tree,
and does not crack nor peel. There
seems to be no preeeptible cause for fa
tality among the apple trees ; no grubs
can le found nor anything else that
would be likely to destroy. About fifteen
trees in a splendid orchard belonging to
Mr. George W. Tower, in the town of
rtirter, have been attacked with this
disease and killed. The trees were from
fifteen to twenty years edd. Several
other instances in various towns are
mentioned where fine, healthv apple
trees have been destroyed in like man
ner.
A Small rnw Dairy.
I give my way of making, with three
or four cows, a" cheese that will weigh
from 10 to 15 pounds : Take milk that
is sweet. Do not remove much of the
cream from the night's milk, then warm
it so that it shall be of the same tem
perature as the morning's milk fresh
from the cows, and mix night's and
morning's milk together. A piece of
calf s rennet should have been soaked
in a half pint of water over night. Put
one-hajf or more in the milk, adding
more if not sufficient. Then after it
turns, take your ladle or knife, and cut
through and through, dividing the curd
into small squares. When the whey
separates, pour it all off; then take
boiling water and pour over it; let it
stand ten minutes in the water ; this is
to give it a toughness, and prevents its
being "crumbly ; " now let it stand in
some kind of vessel in a cool place un
til it gets entirely cold; then chop it up
fine and salt it to taste, and put it into
the press, pressing moderately hard for
three hours ; then take it out and turn
it; then press abont three hoars; again
take it out and tarn it and plaoe on a
clean shelf, rub a little butter over it,
turning it once a day.— Cincinnati

Seep Wash far Krnll Tree*.
The beneficial influence of a weak
alkali wash upon the bark of fruit trees
is of long standing acknowledgement.
Its action is in the expansion of the
pores, while at the same time it is de
structive of all insect liie, sporadic or
otherwise. Writers or theorists differ as
to the best time to apply it; but we have
always found that if good common sense
be used in preparing it, any time of ap
plication is always good. "And now for
the preparation. If you purchased
potash, reduce it so that TOO can bear
your finger in it half a minute or more
without a tingling sensation. If you can
obtain good soft soap from the" refuse
grease of lye and ashes saved up drv,
then take and reduce it (the soap) down,
not to suds, but so that it will not be
ropy when used by a soft whitewash
brush. Use it freelv, and it matters
not materially jnst when, bnt say now,
and any time most convenient until Ist
of July; but after that time it is per
hapr better to wait till the next year.

Kfleet ot Manur* on Weeds.
The application of manures suited to
particular kinds of cultivated plants
appear* to have an efficient effect in
checking the growth of weeds, which
would otherwise prove injurious. In
regard to clover, it was found that when
the land was wholly unmanured the
weeds formed 57 per cent, of -the entire
yield ; but that the application of gyp
sum reduced the proportion of weeds to
two per cent. Nitrogenous manures
had very slight effect, andphosphatic
manures but Itttle more. We must not
from this, however, consider gypsum
as an antidote to weeds in general", since
it is a specific manure for clover, and
gives it a power to struggle successfully
with the weeds and crowd them out.
The Two Captains.
A quarter of a century ago, a New
Hampshire town boasted of a couple
of field pieces, and a fire engine of
limited capacity. Companies were or
ganized to take care of each, with Cap
tain Smith, the auctioneer, heading the
military, and Captain Jones, a tinsmith,
the civic command. Both men were of
marked peculiarities, outspoken and
positive, and they were political and
personal enemies. One day they had
leen wrangling before a crowd of vil
lagers, and Jones, getting angry, turn
ing to leave, said, with a sneer, "If
nnv man wants a commission in the ar
tillery, he must calf on Captain Smith !"
This raised a laugh at the expense of
the military hero, the ranks of nis com
pany having been swelled by the enlist
ment of very yoaog recruits, but keep
ing perfectly cool, he pointed his long
right arm at the retreating firemen, and
shouted, " Everybody wanting promo
tion in the squirt-gun company will fol
low Captain Jones !" It was a long
time before " Captain Jones of the
Squirt-Gun " heard the last of the en
counter, in which the heavy ordnance
won a positive victory.
Is TUB BOWKT.B OP THE EARTH.—In
driftingon the 1,400 foot level of the
Crown Point mine at Virginia City, the
workmen keep a hole of considerable
depth drilled ahead of the main work,
in order that they may not suddenly
break through into a large body or
natural reservoir of water. A day or
two since, while thus boring ahead in
the rock, a vein of water was tapped
which was exceedingly hot, so hot that
eggs were boiled in it, and boiled till
very hard at that The eggs were
placed in the drill hole, a bit of rock
placed before them to back the water
over them, and in a few minutes they
were boiled as hard as could have been
done anywhere. Sam Jones, superin
tendent of the mine, who cooked and
ate some of the eggs, is of the opinion
that this bit of oookery was performed
at a greater depth in the bowels of
motheiv earth than any that has ever
Seen dtme on the Pacific coast.

The G is* Murder.
A Stnnr Mat ami Its til i *•*••—Jn
■* Blow towl lf.
From the facts thus far collected a
pretty clear account of lloaa'a wander
ings umy be given as follows: On the
night ot February '2, 187*2, w hen Goss
aid fire to his bniiditig in Haiti more, and
ran down the lane, as he was Been by
several to do, leaving a body to be
burned in the ruina, he jumped into the
buggy which waa held in waiting by A.
C. (hss, his brother, end drove to the
Philadelphia depot. Taking the train
he went to Philadelphia and New York,
and thence further North. At Saratoga
lie mailed a letter to A. C. (loss, Balti
more. Tins letter was addressed iu A.
0. Goaa'a own hand writing, and the
fugitive must have been provided with
it to avoid showing his own handwriting.
From Saratoga he went straight to Mon
treal, remaining there sonic time. Next
lie was traced to a amall place ea*t of
Toronto, ami at other periods to Lon
don and Hamilton, Canada. He is be
lieved to have remained in Canada sev
eral mouths. Thence he was traced to
Michigan, where he was lost sight of.
bnt the probability is that he passed
throngli Detroit and continued on down
to Nashville, Tenu. On June 28, 1872,
he arrived at David U. Mulliii's, iu
Oooperatown. The lette-a froui Cdder
aook to Mr. Mulliti, endeavoring to pro
cure board for a friend, are dated re
spectively iu October and November,
1871, and upon Mr, Mullin's refusing to
take the t>oarder the matter was drop
ped ; but Goaa'a lading place in Tennes
see becoming too hot for him, he. fol
lowing Udderaook'a advice, csme to this
locality, believing that Mtillin would
not turn him awav when he should ac
tually present hilii-elf. Iu explanation
of the long period which elapsed le
--tween the writing of these letters siul
the perpetration of the fraud, it may be
explained that the plot was maturing
through many months. It is believed
that it was planned in April, 1871, and
that it was intended it should le con
summated in the early part of the win
ter, but for some reason it was post
p.rned to February. It will In- remem
bered that Goss, alias A. C. Wilson, in
troduced himself to Mr. Mnlliu as the
person that Uddaraook had recom
mended, and said that he had lately
come froni Tennessee. From that time
to Nov. 28, 18?2, he was in Coopers
town, or that vicinity, for on Nov. 28 he
received stO at Byrnmaw, the nearest
stat on on the Pennsylvania Bail road.
He was next heard of in Newark, N. J.,
where he boarded from i>eo. 1 to June
27. Here he is said to have paid his
board with tolerable regularity, and was
liked bv his fellow boarders. He se
cluded himself to such a degree that his
fellow boarders thought there was some
mystery connected with him. He pan!
attentions to a young lady who boarded
in the house with him, and wheu he
went from Newark he wanted her to
ehpe with him, promising to take her
to Europe. At Newark, Goss was visited
bv persons who, from the description
given of them, were Udderxook and A.
C. Goes. Wheu he left Newark he told
his landlady that he was going to Phila
delphia to meet his doctor, ai.d expected
to receive $1,500. The only doctor he
met iu Philadelphia was Udderxook.
They went on the Philadelphia aud Bal
timore Central Railroad to West Grove,
thence going on foot to Jciyierville,
where they arrived on June 20, the day
before the murder.
A man has been found in Philadel
phia who heard Wilson speak of A. 0.
Goss, and has seen a letter from A. C.
Goss to A. C. Wilson, the envelope of
which was stamped with a furniture
monogram. A. (3. Goss works iu Bal
timore, at Stevens's furniture shop. A
mau has also been found to whom A. C.
Wilson talked freely of A. C. Goss, and
said that he remained away from home
on account of a lawsuit, amounting to
$28,000, in which he was deeply inter
ested.
The ageut of the insurance companies
now has several express receipts of
packages sent to A. Campbell Goas from
A. C. Wilson while stopping at differ
ent points. These receipts show that
A. C. Wilson, during his stay at
Cooperstown, had sent several pack
ages to A. C. Goss, Baltimore, supposed
to have contained letters.
While Wilson or Goss lived in
Newark, all money came to him by ex
press, but it WSB never receipted for by
nim. Iu vry ed*e his ianuladv, Mrs.
Toombs, called at the express office, got
the money, and receipted for the same.
When he wrote to A. C. Goas, his let
ters were taken to New York by a friend
and there placed in the express office.
(toss's watch, said to have been
burned in the fire, has been traced to a
certain point beyond a doubt. The
silver leaf covering the face had Goss'a
name on it, bnt was torn off. Two
theories have been framed in regard to
the murder. One is that Udderzook
was a treacherous villain, who deceived
both sides, and that he killed Goss for
money. By those taking this view it is
believed that Goss really did receive
$1,500 when he went to Philadelphia,
and that Udderzook, getting uneasy as
to the result of the trials, resolved to
make sure of that much money. The
other and more probable theory is that
the conspirators expected to succeed in
defrauding the insurance companies
without tne matter coming into the
courts. They were not provided with
th* means to support Goss so long a
time in idleness, aud it appears that he
was continually embarrassed in money
matters, and doubtless there was a
great deal of trouble among them on
this account. Influenced, doubtless,
by this reason, Goss wanted to sell out
to the insurance companies at an early
date. In October negotiations were
opened with the Travelers at Hartford,
through a detective, who acted for
another man who acted for Goss. The
propositions were invariably rejected,
as they were conditional upon a guar
antee of safety of all concerned in the
fraud. Even in the latter part of April,
just before the trial, a proposition was
made to produce Goss at a point not to
be within one hundred miles from Buf
falo, N. Y , on the deposit of $5,000, to
be paid over on such exhibition, and
the guarantee of immunity from crim
inal prosecution. Doubtless Udder
zook and the other conspirators were
uneasy in regard to Gos*. His intem
perate habits and perhaps his ihreats
may have kept them in constant fear of
discovery, and this wonld explain the
letter of Dec. 16 from Udderzook to
Rhodes, proposing the job "with a cool
one thousand dollars in it." This offer
having been refused, Udderzook, prob
ably harraased with fear lest the fraud
should be discovered and himself ar
rested on a penitentiary offence, re
solved to get Goss out of the way.
Mr. Pennypacker, counsel for the
insurance companies, says he has posi
tive knowledge that a package was sent
by A. C. Wilson, supposed to l>e Goss,
to Miss Kate Ardin, at Baltimore, hut
that of itself would scarcely lie proof
that she was in any war a party to the
conspiracy. He lias also a letter sup
posed to have been written by a certain
party in Baltimore under an assnmed
name, with which he expects to unearth
some important facts. He will not dis
close its contents to the public as yet.
There are some very suspicious circum
stances lately developed which he
thinks will implicate two ladies. There
seems to be no doubt but that a great
many persons are concerned in the trans
action in some way or other, and very
interesting developments may be ex
pected daily for some time to come.
A Shower of Strange Reptiles.
A gentleman from Elk River, in Sher
burne county, Minnesota, tells of a
shower of reptiles which fell upon A
meadow on the farm of Edward Cpham,
near that place, on the morning of the
B<t inst., during a heavy rain and wind
storm. The meadow, he says, was
thickly strewn with the bodies of the
strange creatures, none of which were
discovered alive. They are described
as abont six inches long, having gills
and fins like fish, bnt having also four
legs each, about two inches long, and
terminating in claws. One person who
saw them declared that like creatures
exist only in the waters of Mexican
lakes, from whence he supposed they
might have been caught np in a water
spout and been carried along by the
wind until they were dropped on Mr.
Upham's meadow.
A Hbld Robbery,
The Pnlrl* Crime Crsilnl Ores! ICrrlls
ment- —Th K*|lnto MsMrriil.
Aii extraordinary and daring robliery
of a railroad train was committed four
miles west of Adair, on the Chicago,
Rock Island ami Pacific Railroad. At
this |H>int there is a sharp curve in the
road, and lu re the roldn-r* had placed
heavy timlier* aei\>*a the truck to throw
the East-bound passenger train off.
The engineer, Joan Rafferty, saw the
obstruction in tuue to reverse his en
gine smi apply the air brake ; but the
roblwrs, observing the movement, llred
at him from ambush and shot lumdrad.
The engine struck the logs ami went oil
the track into the ditch, and was fol
lowed by oue of the baggage cars, the
otilers remaining on the truck. Several
passenger* were bruised, but none seri
ously hurt. The robbers, who were
masked, after o]>emtig ami emptying
the safe of the express messenger of its
content*, rode oil on horseback. Among
the passenger* were thirty Chinese stu
dents, eu route to Springfield, Massa
chusetts.
A thousand conjectures are current iu
regard to the persons who robbed the
tram. The most probable one is that
the robbery was committed by person*
living near where the robbery took
place. A valise, tu which they canted
off the mouey taken from the express
conipauv's safe, was found five miles
south of the wrecked train. \ igtlant
parlies are scouring south west, ru lows,
ami it is confidently believed the rob
bers will Ih caught it they remain with
in the Stale. A telegram received says
the robber* have crossed the Burlington
and Missouri Railroad.
William A. Smith, conductor of the
ill-fated traiu, testified at the Coroner's
inquest ult the body of John Rafferty,
the engineer, who was killed, thut the
train was wrecked two ami a half or
three miles west of Adair Station, ami
six or seven hundred feet east of Turkey
Greek Bridge ; was in the smoking-car,
near the front end, and from the noise
1 thought the engine ass iu s ditch,
with oue or two ear* piled upon it; was
thrown under the seat in front of me; do
not remember which side of the ear. 1
got out on the bulk. I went forward
to see who was hurt; the first person
met was oue of the masked men tiear the
baggage ear door, who pointed a re
volver tu each hand toward me ami told
mo to get back, firing ut one and the
same time ; 1 backed down as far as the
sleeping coach In-fore 1 felt 1 was out of
his way ; there I met Dennis Foley, the
fireman ; he says, ** Billy, Jack is
desd.
The passenger* were in a hubbub ami
the women ami children were crying. I
told the passengers 1 thought the
masked men were trying to rob the bag
gage car, and tried to borrow a revolver,
but (ailed. I could still see the man
from where I was. Baw another passing
up and down on the opposite Bide of the
train. Think he was tiring at me, also.
Borne of the passenger 4 asked me to j
get into the traiu as these men wen'
tiring at me and would be the cause of
some of them being killed. I tbeu went
into the sleeping car, at the rear, still
trying to get a revolver, and urging the
passengers to keep quiet, as these men
were robbing the baggage car. I went
out of the ladies' car up to the
and heuee to the cngiue. Two balls
passed through my clothing while I was
on the bank. These shots came from
the sonth side of the train. Did not
see a man on the north side then. Did
not see or hear anything more of the
masked men. After the passengers had
got quiet I went forward to investigate
the causes of the wreck. At the hind
truck of the smoking ear I found the
fish plate had been removed from the !
rail on the north side, disconnecting a
rail at both ends. A rope and strap i
were tied in the bolt holes of the dis- j
connected rail at the west end, and a
rope passed under the south rail across •
the ditch and up on to the bank. A
piece of rope was also found 011 the '
bank, which seemed to have been broken
from the other. It was a new rope, the j
common size ; the west end was loose
of the rail when I saw it; it was only a
few inches froin the south rail ; the hind
trucks of the smoking car were still on
the track. We hat! been running eigh
teen or twenty miles an hour.
The passengers on the train report!
that the scene was terrible and balfies
description. When the crash came all 1
were thrown forward, some entirely out
of their seats. Then came a recoil, and j
immediately after they heard tiring, but,
supposed that it came from the wreck. 1
Many of the men jumped from the cars
und started to get forward, and were or- i
dered back by the robbers, who con-!
tinued their firing and enforced their
commands by terrible oaths and tlireata.
Back they went, and in the cars found
women and children half crazed with
fright, shrieking, crying and fainting,
imploring men to protect them, and
exclaiming, "My God ! We shall be j
killed ! We shall be killed 1" The j
stoutest hearts quailed and felt they
were at the mercy of desperadoes. Al- i
together, it was a scheme unprecedented
in the history of railroading in this
country, and never In-fore has so reck- 1
less and daring a scheme been carried
to completion. All Western lowa is in 1
a fever of excitement. Farmers for
miles around are leaving the harvest
fields with their families and visiting
the scene of the robbery. The engine
and baggage cars remain as they were
last night. The former is badly wrecked.
Buperintendent Boyoe estimates the
loss sustained by the oimpair, at about
three thousand dollars. Governor Car
penter issued a proclamation offering n
reward of SSOO for the arrest of each
person engaged in the robbery.
The Actor Jlacrcady.
The following anecdote of the great
tragedian, Macreadv, came from a thea
tre attache, and it* probably aa reliable
a* the moot of them : Macreadv used
every agency "that God and Mature
pnt in his power " to make hia acting
tell. He neglected no aid of light and
abode ; no study of position ; uo mi
nute attention to detail; indeed, no arti
fice whatever that would heighten effect.
The storm scene in " Ij>ar' was one of
his most powerful representations. An
old man, tottering ami exhausted, rav
ing at the elements, and defying thun
der, and hail, is n touching
spectacle. To get himself up in style
for this scene, he employed a strong
and muscular friend to spend a few mo
ments in shaking him vigorously, first
right and then left, then forward and
back, as a dog shakes a rag, till his hair
was every which way, and his general
condition so mixed up that, when the
muscular man gave him the final shove
on the stage, he was the very picture of
a reeling, worn-out, and used-up old
man, and, as he vented his rage on the
stormy forces of natnre, the impression
was tremendous. One night tlie stout
party was somewhat late, and, fearing
that he would l>e behindhand in his
part as " shaker," rushed in hurriedly
to what he supposed was the right
place, and, seeing an elderly-looking
man, with long, white hair, peering
round as thongn he expected somebody
he went for and shook him powerfully
—shook him to make up for met time;
shook the " daylights out of him," and
then flung him headlong on the stage.
The pit saw it in a moment, and they
hooted as only the pit of the old days
could hoot. The victim, scared almost
to death, slunk back to private life, and
the stout party didn't quite take in the
situation till the outraged hear, indulg
ing in a tall kind of rhetoricnot found in
Shakespeare, impressed on him that he
had manipulated the wrong man.
A GOOD IDEA. —In every ear on the
Connecticut River Railroad there is a
box overiiead at one end in which is
contained the name of the next station,
which it is the duty of the brakeman to
change as they leave the stations. It
also states where they connect with
other roads. As the change is made, a
bell strikes twice, which attracts the at
tention of the passengers, so that the
box always exhibits the name of the
next station, and so on. Thus passen
gers always know the name of the stop
ping place, and also if it connects with
any other railroad.

cers ought to hire a musigj teacher to

Under the operation of this system

Effects of Tobacco.
The use of tobacco lias so much ex
tended itself in the present generation
that we are all obliged to make a decis
ion for ourselves on the ancieut contro
versy between its friendsaudenemies. We
cannot form s reasonable opinion about
tobacco without bearing 111 mind that it
produces, according to circumstances,
one of two entirely distinct ami eveu
opposite classes of effects. Iu certain
states of the body it acts as a stimulant,
in other states as a narcotic. People
who have a dislike to smoking affirm
that it stupiflea ; but this assertion, at
least so far aa the temporary conse
quences are coacereed, is not supported
by experience. Most of the really bril
liant conversations that I have listened
to have been accompanied by clouds of
tobacco smoke ; and a great deal of the
ln*st literary composition that is pro
duced by contemporary authors is
wrought by meu who are actually smok
ing while they work. My own experi
ence is that very moderate smoking acta
as I pleasant stimulus upon the bram,
while it produces a temporary lassitude
of the musular system, not perceptible
in times of rest, but an appreciable hin
drance in times of muscular exertion.
It is better, therefore, for men who feel
these effect* from tobacco to avoid it
when they are in exercise, and to use it
only when the body reals, ami the miml
labors. Pray remember, however, that
this is the experience of an exceedingly
modrrote smoker, who has 'not yet got
himself into the general condition of
body which is brought on by a larger
indulgence in tobacco. On the other
hand, it is evident that men engaged
in physical labor dud a muscular stimu
lus in occasional smoking, and not a
temporary lassitude. It is probable
that the effect varies with it* individual
cases, ami is never precisely what our
own experience lead us to imagine.
For excessive smokers, it appears to be
little more than the tranquillizing of a
sort of uneasiness, the continual satis
faction of a continual craving. 1 have
never la-en able to ascertain that mode
rate diminished intellectual force ; bat
I have observed in excessive smokers a
decided weakening of the will, and a
preference for talking about work to
the effort of actual labor. The opiuiona
of medical men on this subject are so
much at variance that their science only

Burglar* In the House.
There is a peculiar saddening effect,
says the Donbury AWi, in awaking In
the night at hearing burglars at work
in jour house. Tina was the ease with
Mr. Henrj on South street. As soon as
he detected the noise, which appeared to
lie down stairs, he softly crept out of
lied, and commenced to prowl around
for • match. His wife was sour awakened
by the same noise, and be'.ieving that
something was the matte r with the chil
dren who; slept in the next room, she
carefully withdrew from bed, fto not to
disturb her husband, and started for
the door. An instant later they collided.
What he [thought was evident enough.
All the hard earnings of an arduous
life were at stake. Before him stood
one or more robbers. With an exclama
tion of condensed eloquence he clinched
her. What she thought is not quite so
evident, but it was doubtless of her
husband and children, and being plucky
withal, she at once twined her Angers in
his hair, and gave him a wench that
made him think of death. Then both
of them went down to the Aoor together;
she having the advantage in the fall,
and getting on top, with her hnnds still
in hair, she shook his head against the
floor with an energy and courage that
would have undoubtedly tilled him to
overflowing with admiration, had he
known who it was, or had he known
anything at all. Every time she rapped
him she shrieked for help, and in a brief
space of time the children and Mrs.
Eben Davis, who lives down stairs,
were on the scene. Mrs. Davis was not
dressed for compmy, but in the excite
ment she didn't mind adornment. She
had a candle in one hand, and a long
carving fork in the other, and was aliout
to drive the latter into the legs of the
villian, when recognition ensued. Then
Mrs. Davis laid down her candle in one
direction, and the fork in another, and
immediately returned to her own apart
ments, her*yellow flannel hnigt-eap, as
it shot down the stairs, being the first
thing that Mr. Henry saw on springing
to his feet. The children were returned
to their room, and put to lied, but the
liarcnts did not resume their couch,
t was so pleasant that Mr. Henry con
cluded to remain up the rest of the
night and enjoy the scenery, and Mrs.
Henry thought it best to stay up. too,
so to change the cloths on his head as
often as possible.
Betting IHtorces.
The husband ciui divorce his wife nt
pleasure and leave her the charge of
maintaining their children, in the Island
of Corca. If she prove unfaithful he
can put her to death.
Tho first wife may be divorced in
Biam, but not sold, as the others may
be. She then may claim the first, third,
and fifth child, and the alternate chil
dren are yielded to the husband.
When a man desires a uivorce in the
Arctic regions, he leaves the house in
anger, and d' es not return in several
days. The wife understands the hint,
packs np her clothes and leaves.
If tho parties choose to separate in
Cochin China, they break a pair of
chopsticks or copper coin in the pres
ence of witnesses, by which action the
union is dissolved. The husband must
restore to the wife the property belong
ing to her prior to marriage.
The I.H laborer* of Sew York Cltjr.
ll is catimstatl on trustworthy ground
that over 100,(XM) children are at work
in the faetoriea of New York and the
ueightroriug districts, while from 15,000
to 'JO,OOO are " floaters," drifting from
one factory hi another. Of these the
euVclo|M< factories employ almut H,OOO
i children. The average earn tugs of the
little workers are per week. The
gold-leaf factories employ a large num
ber of children, though the exact sta
tistic* of tlte number can not be given.
This occupation requires much skill
and delicacy of touch ; it is not severe,
but demands constant attention. The
burnishing of gold, silver, ami china
ware is mostly done by girls, some of
whom are under thirteen years of age.
Singularly enough, it is said that men
in this business require to wear breast-
I plates, in order to prevent injury from
the steel instruments employed, while
the girls wh labor at it sit at long ta
bles, their undefended breasts pressing
against the handles of the frame. Ful
ly K.tKHi girls from twelve to sixteen
years of age arc employed iu making
paper collars. A girl cun couut ami
bo* IM.tHKI collars in a day of ten hours.
Paper-box factories, einbrsciug all
sorts ami sir.es, from a match to a work
box, employ at least 10,000 children.
From 10,000 to l'J.OtlO children are en
gaged in making paper boxes, of whom
nearly H.OUO are under twelve years of
age. Many are ouly live ami seveu
years old. The latter are employed
preparing and uuttiug feathers for col
oring. Employers claim this to lie a
h all by biiHtuess, but judging from the
pale ami sickly countenances of the
girls we doubt the sssertiou.
Another luqmrtaut industry employ
ing children in the city is the manufac
ture of tobacco. The tobacco factories
contain fully 10,000 children, of whom
.">,OOO at least are under tifteeu years.
The youngest child we saw employed
in them was four years of age. He was
engaged in stripping tobacco, and his
average earnings were shout oue dollar
j>er week. Many laborers work all
their lives iu these factories. We saw
persons as old as eighty years iu them.
A man seventy years of age told us he
had spent thirty years in one factory.
| His two boys bail entered the factory
with him at the age of ten and twelve
years, and were uow at work as men in
the same shop. Another, the foreman,
ami general workshop manager, had en
tered that factory thirty-five years ago,
w heu a boy ten rears of age. in some
of these factories boys under fifteen
years are employed in dusky cellars and
basements, preparing, bruang, and
sweetening tlie weed preliminary to
"stemming." The underground life
in these damp, cavernous places tends
to keep the little workers stunted iu
body and mind. Other boys from ten
to twelve years were squatting on the
doors, whettiug the knives of the cut
ting machine* with a mixture of rum
and water applied with a sponge. The
rapidity witb which the girl* work is
wouderfuL A girl of sixteen years can
put up thirteen gross of packages of
chewing tobacco in tin-foil, and twenty
two gross in |uq>er, iu oue day. (litis
and boys from twelve to fourteen years
earn in this business from foar to five
dollars per week. Home little girls
only eight years of age earn per week.
There are already over 00,WW persons
in New York who can not read or write.
These little overworked operatives will
swell this ignorant throng. Fortunate

attention of humane men.

The Prayer of Art*di>
The Christian t'nion t H. W. Beeeherl,
speaking of the speech by Professor
Agassis, at the opening of the Anderson
School of Natural Hiatoiy, aaya: After
a few opening words, felicitously suited
to put all their minds into fellowship,
Agassis said, tenderly, and with touch
ing frankness, "I think we have need
of help. Ido not feel that I can call
on any one here to oak a blessing for
ns. i know I would not have anybody
pray for us at this moment, I ask you
for it moment to pray for yourselves,"
Upon this, the great scientist—in an
age in which so many other great
scientists have concluded that prnying
is quite an unscientific and very useless
{jroceeding— bowed his head reverently;
lis pupils and friends did the same;
and, there, iu a silence that was very
Ix-autiful, each spirit wss free to. crave
of the Great Spirit the bleasing that
was needed. For our own part, it seems
to us that this scene of Agassis and his
pupils with h*. oils bowed in silent
prayer for the blessing of the God of
Nature to be given to that school then
opened for the study of Nature, is a
s|H>ctacle for some great artist to spread
out worthily upon canvas, and to be
kept alive in the memory of mankind.
What are coronations, royal pageants,the
parade of armies, to a scene like this ?
It heralds the coaling of the new
heavens and the new earth—the golden
ugc when Nature and Man shall be re
conciled, aud the conquests of truth
.-Jiall supersede the conquests of brute
force.
The Shah's Hlfts.
Ho fore leaving England the Shah
made aomc coatly presents to several
members of the royal family and the
nobility. To the Queen lie gave a set
of very rare and valuable jewels, to the
Prince of Wales his photograph set in
diamonds, and to the Duke of Cam
bridge, as Commander-in-Chief of the
Army, he presented an elegant sword,
saying that "ho rejoiced to place the
swordof Persia in the hand of England."
A photograph set in diamonds was also
offered to Earl Granville, who extracted
the picture, pressed it to his heart, and
returning the diamonds, explained to
the Shah that much as he thanked him
his position as an English Minister for
bade his receiving a present from a for
eign monarch. Lady Hawlinson and
the Duchess of Sutherland also received
presents of diamonds from the Shall,
who, at the same time, presented Lord
Money with a valuable snuff-box set

servants at Buckingham Palace, and
$15,000 to the police of London.
Mr. J. S. Thompson, of the town of
Auburn, Wis., had a maple orchard he
thought very attractive. Tho tornado
spoiled over one thousand of the trees,
mainly by the uprooting process. Oak
trees four feet in diameter, near the
same forest, were torn up by the roots.
A Man I toiled Alive.
A few days ago John Coon an, a man
emploved in the sugar reflnerjr of Ilew
ley A Moaa in Dublin, met with a fear
ful death. He had been but foar weeka
in the manufactory, where he was em
ployed to wash Uie hogsheads. This is
done ins tank eleven feetic length. The
hurrel ia rolled ill at one end and dragged
along the tank by means ol so iron
rod, alwut six or seven feet long, when
it is hoisted up at the other end, the
water Iming allowed to escape by turn
ing the barrel. The person who thus
washes the hogshead lias to traverse a
rugged aud uneven wooden stage about
the same height of the tank, which is
uot more than aix or seven iuche* from
the ground, and totally unprotected.
Two traverse planks croaa the platform U>
blind the hoards, and a parson dragging
the cask* not looking Iwfore In in might
stumble. The l>ards slope down toward
the tauk, sud become wet during the
process, which is iierfoimed within s
foot of the edge of the vst. Sometimes
the person washing would require aaais
tan re iu hoisting, between sixty-six
and sixty-eight hogsheads are washed
in a dajr , the system adopted was simi
lar to that uaed in English and Scotch
refineries, except that IU those places
the stage was of ruuud paving stonea in
stead of wood, and that the workers
wore clogs. Home time ago in this es
tablishment a boy got his leg burned
at the tank.
Cooiiau fell in while dragging a
barrel through the tauk. Two com
rades, called by bis screams, witb diffi
culty succeeded in pulliug him out.
He seemed to be sitting iu the tauk as
his feet were out of the water, lie was
scalded from his chin to his knees and
•lied from the injuries.
A New Specie* of Rattlesnake.
A Georgia paper gives the following
description of a reptile lately seen :
" A rattlesnake was recently killed
in this vicinity of s species which 1 have
never seen described, and which is prob
ably unknowu to naturalist*. Perhaps
the species is not widely diffused, but
indigenous to Houtwestern Georgia
aloue. The stuffed skin of the speci
men from which this description is
taken is four feet and eight inches long,
exclusive of tlie head aud eight in cir
cumference. The head was very large,
the fangs uncommonly long, teeth re
markably slender, and the sue of the
snake gradually increasing until within
four inches of the neck, when it ab
ruptly contracted to a sue not larger
than a man's finger : rattles were nine
iu uumber. On the neck and forward
part of tlie body the skin wss a bright
golden color, partial I v covered with
light brown scales, 'fhe reflection of
tbe rays of light from these colors
blending, threw a barely perceptible
rosy hue over the whole inimitable by
art. At the distance of twelve inches
from the tail the color grew very dark
and continued to deepen fit hue, the
tail being of an intense black. Instead
of irregularly shaped spots, as iu the
common rattlesnake, this specimen had
zigzag bands crossing the back parallel
to each other. The bands were half an
inch in w iMtli, and one and a half inches
apart, the outer angles extending into
long point, the one on the center of
back the pointing towards the tail.

MEDICAL MANIACS. —There are num
bers of medical men so wedded to the
: old formulas, that all changes seem to
them like innovations. These medical
maniac* are, fortunately, incapable of
much mischief in this practical age.
While the Vntnui FITTER* are curing
Indigestion, Nervous Debility, Consti
pation, and countless other diseases
that defy the remedies of the pharma
copceia, it ia impossible to tburst down
the throats of intelligent invalids
" heroic" doses of mineral poison, or to
persuade them to take adulterated al
cohol, impregnated with cheap astrin

oubt that a life insurance policy in a
