GOING • HOME.
A STORY FOR WIVES TO READ.
“ Hal, isn’t this cold 7” said an indi
vidual to a friend, as the crowd was
hurrying up tho great thoroughfare.
“ Cold is it 7” asked Hal; turning his
ijierry,'smiling face toward hls'shlver
ing friend. “Well I guess it is a bit
chilly; but I never think of it when I
ain going home.”
The other shrugged his shoulders;
an'd laughed a little, and with a good
night they parted.
I hurried up, and for a long time
kept close besides this happy, home
ward bound traveller, that I might get,
■a good, iong look at him.
And X had to hurry with a vengeance
for he, might have on’the fainous seven
league boots and not gone a bit faster.
There was a merry music in' the click
of his boot hells, and such a genial at
mosphere about him, that I was sorry
when ho distanced, me in two blocks,;
after my most strenuous efforts to keep
up; i ,■
■i—J.
, , When his, tali figure'disappeared,, I
loitered along of tiisf
voice tinging in my ears, and the recol
lection t 6f his words stirring up my
Uyellest imaginations.
Going home I What a; warm, cheer

lam positive that he was thinking
how “she” would like.
Ah, happy, blessed, true-hsarted wife,
that sent,out, the busy, working world
such a cheerful laborer. ;
There must bo a cosy,, comfortable
home for him, with cosy fires, with' a'
tempting dinner, with easy chair, drese
,lbg gown and'slippers.
. There must be a perfect peace and har
mony In all things; best of all there must
bo warm, clinging arms, loving kisses, a
smiling face and tender words.
Thera must bo all these things, or this
going homo’ would not make him forget,
the frosty air, the .sharp rough blasts that
came sweeping around the corners,' that
cold winter’s night.
" Wbat a.plty It Is that there are not
more such warm resting places in the
world:. ;
I wonder if it would not make it a
happier, better place, and give us anar
iers and grumblers?
I really believe it would make a grand
revolution, if every man who hurries up
our great city streets at nightfall could
carry, as Hal did, in his heart, the
knowledge that at the other end there
was a'warm, peaceful home, and a lov-.
ing welcome awaiting him.
It is worth the trial any way, and if
the result is not a favorite one, thb fault
will not.be ours.
Going home I After a long day’s work
among dusty . law-books and ledgers,
among interminable lengths of barrels
and boxes or endless piles of dry.goods—;
after tedious labor ail the long , hours,-
with ndtbing but dust and dullness, bus
iness and bustle, just think how much

Tho Athens Post says this: .“One
thing we, have noticed from the time

"Soma Pumpkins." •
The following Is a fair representation
somewhat enlarged, of the “big talk”,
about the agricultural productions of
the Pacific coast which one beam in
those parts:
Two weeks agci 1 started on a visit to
the Yo Semite Valley. I arrived' at
the wharf a moment teo late to get on
board'; and, instead of waiting until
next day, I determined to go to Stock
ton on horseback, I accordingly cross
ed ther bay,at Oakland, or, as it is bet
ter known, “Little Pedlington,” pro
cured a horse and rode over to the
Livermore Valley, where I staid all
night with a rancher, who was known
in the valley as “ Clamps." They
called him that because he got rich by
holding on to his money with a degree
of fortitude not universal in the coun
try. As ' supper time approached,
Clamp asked if I would like some eggs,
and haw I preferred it—hard or soft,
boiled or fried. I . told him I would
like some eggs, and that it would suit
me best to have them soft boiled.
In a law minutes there came Clamps
and his wife, rolling an egg the size of
a dour barrel, which they boiled in a
short time in a large cauldron, and.tliqn’
set it up on one end by the madam’s
chair at the table. A hole was made!
in the top of the shell, and the egg was
dipped out with a long handled ladle.
1 was, astonished at the size of the egg,
and observed that his hens must be
enormously large. “By no means;’’
he replied. " You will not be eb much'
surprised when Hell you that one hen
did not lay this egg alone; It took sev
en or eight hens almost a week to lay
it. It was a joint-stock production of
the'chickens; but still it is better than
the Individual responsibility plan.”
At breakfast the next morning wo.
had more egg, and then I went on the'
road to Stockton. I reached San Joa
quin river at noon, and was ferried over
in a unique looking craft. While the
ferryman was tugging silently at his
oars, I inquired whether the ferry was
profitable.
“ Doesn’t scarcely pay for.raising the
boat,” he replied.
“Eaising the boat I”’ I repeated.
“ What do you mean by raising the
boat 7”
“Mister,” said he resting for a while
on his oars, "you be a stranger In these
parts, bean’t you?"
I replied that I had not been long in
the country. ' . .
“ Then,” said he, pointing to the
shore “ this ere boat growed in that
pumpkin patch over yonder.”
“Growed in that pumpkin patch!”
I exclaimed.
“ Gr'owed in that pumpkin patch on
a pumpkin vine. Mister this yer boat
is a pumpkin shell cut in two, That
patch is where it growed.”
“ Where, over by that barn ?” X ex
claimed. , \
“ That ain’t no barn,” he answered
“unless you choose to call it so. That’s
a pumpkin too. But I made a hole in
the end on’t and let the stock inside ,
and when the wet season seta in, I plug'
up the hole and let them winter there.
They come out awful fat in the spring.
That big squash over yonder I’m hol
lerin’ out to live in.”
Professor Faraday believed in Flour
in’s physiological theory that the age
of man is one hundred years. The du
ration of life, he says,is to be measured
by the tlme.of growth. When once the
bones and epiphysis are united, the
body grows no more, and it is in twen
ty years ibis union is affected In man.
In the camel it takes place at eight,
rin the horse at five, in the lion at four,
in the dog at two, in the rabbit at one.
The natural termination of life is five
times that of the developmeut period.
Man being twenty years in growing,
lives five times twenty years, that is to
say, one hundred years; the camel is
eight years in growing, and lives forty
years; the horse is five years In grow
ing, and lives twenty years; and so on
with other animals.
The man who does not die from dis
ease lives from eighty to a hundred
years. Providence has given man a
century of life, but he does not attain
it because he inherits disease, eats .un
wholesome food, gives way to his pas

STAGE THUHDEE.
Some fifty years ago, one Lee, mana
ger of the Edinburg Theatre, with a view
to Improving the thunder of bis stage,
ventured upon a return to the Elizabeth
an system of representing a storm. His
attempts were attended With results at
onceludlcroue.and disastrous. He placed
ledges here and there along the back of
bla stage, and, obtaining a parcel of nine
pound cannon balls, packed these in a
wheel-barrow, which the carpenter was
Instructed to wheel to and fro over the
ledges. The play was “ Lear,” and the
Jolting of the heavy barrow, os It was
trundled along Its uneven path over hol
low stage, and the rumblings and rever
berations thus produced counterfeited
most effectively the raging of the tem
pest In the. third not. Unfortunately,
however, while the king was enduring
the pitiless storm at the. back, the car
penter missed his footing, tripped over
one of the ledges, and feli'down —wheel-
barrow, cannon bails and all. The stage
being on a declivity, the cannon balls
oamß rolling rapidly and noisily down
toward tbo front, gathering force as they
advanced ; and, overcoming the leeble
resistance offered by the scene struck it
down passed over the prostrate form,
and made their way toward the foot
lights, and the fiddlers, amid the amuse
ment and wonder of the audience, and (
the amazement and alarm of the Lear
of the night. As the nine pounds ad
vanced toward him, and rolled about in
ail directions, he was compelled to dis
play an activity In avoiding them sin
gularly inappropriate to the age and
condition of the character he was per
sonating. He was even said- to resem
ble. u dancer, achieving the terpsiohorean
feat known as the egg.hornpipe. Pres
ently r too, the musicians became alarmed
for the safety of themselves and their
instruments, and deemed it advisable to
scale the piked partition which decided
them from the pit—for the cannon balls'
were upon them smashing the lamps,
and falling heavily into the orchestra.—
Meanwhile, exposed to the full gaze of
the bouse, lay prone beside his empty
burrow, the carpenter, the innocent In
voker of the storm he had been unable to
allay or direct, not at all hurt but ex
ceedingly frightened and bewildered.—
Artur this uuiuckly experiment the
manager abandoned his wheel-harrow
and caution balls, and reverted to more
improved methods of producing : stage
atorms.
NIOEEIi,
Unlike many of our common metals,
nickel is of comparatively recent dis
covery., We find gold, silver, and iron
mentioned in our earliest records. A
brother of the patriarch Noah is ex
pressly said to have been “an instructor
of every artificer In brass and iron,b
showing that even at so remote a pe
riod, not only were some of our simple
metals known, but methods of com
pounding, and to some extent artistic
ally working them. Nor, so far as we
have reason to think, was the knowl
edge ever lost. If the brass spoken of
above was the composition it is usually
supposed to have been, one of its con
stituents was copper; and we may won
der whether in the search for this in
those early times the miners were ever
perplexed with the ores of nickel, as
the miners of Germany were for thou
sand of years after. The German miner
often met the latteroro, and, mistaking
it for copper—some forms of which it
closely resembles in appearance —tried
by his usual process to extract copper
from it. When It proved refractory, and
resisted all his efforts, he called it Kup
fur-niakel—folse copper; or, still more
literally; the copper of Nick—or the Old
Nick’s copper.
Nickel has very many valuable quali
ties. Xt is malleable and ductile—can.be
drawn out Into oven a liner wire than
iron, having a still greoter tenacity. It
ia easier melted than iron. It is magnet
ic, so that noedlcs of the compass could
well bo made of it. though It loses its
magnetism when heated as high os six
hundred and sixty degrees; regaining it
however, when cooled. But the quality
oh which Its chief use depends Is its sus
ceptibility of brilliant lustre, and its
small liability to corrode. This led to its
use, many years ago in the compound
known as German-silver. It 1s mixed
for this in various proportions but the
best German-silver Is composeefof nickel
three parts, zinc three and a ball parts,
and copper eight parts. The Chinese
have mqde a similar allay, though often
using a'much larger proportion of zinc..
Nickel is used in the coinage of several
Countries. It was Introduced Into our
own In 1857, when the old copper cent
was withdrawn and tho present com
pound coin substituted In its place. This
Is composed of twelve parte of nickel,
and eighty-eight of copper, to the hun
dred.
Spontaneous Combustion.
The Bedford Inquirer says several
weeks ago the now stable of 8. S. Motz
gar took fire and burned to the ground
in the midst of a drenching rain. No fire
bad been used about the building, and
there was no way of accounting for the
origin of the fire but by attributing it to
an incendiary or to spontaneous combus
tion. The men engaged in painting and
finishing Mr. Metzger's new bouse, bad
been graining shutters for the bouse In
the stable, during the day before the fire,
but it was scarcely thought possible that
the fire could originate from that source.
The stable having been burned, tho pain
ters next day transferred their graining
to the cellar of the bouse. That evening
the inmates of the bouse discovered
smoke, and a smell of burning cotton or
paper Issuing from the cellar of the
bouse. An examination disclosed the
fact that the oily rata used by the pain
ters In graining had been thrown to
gether in a corner, and had Ignited by
spontaneous combustion, and were fast
bursting In a flame. This timely discov
ery saved the house and settled tho ques
tion as to the origin of the fire in the
stable. Next day a nail keg was partly
filled with the oiled rags cast away by
the painters, and set In the sunshine In
the yard. In a few hours the rags and
kegs wore found to be on fire. Very fsw
people are aware of tho danger arising
from such a source.
HOESTBLE HOMICIDE IN DELAWARE.
A Man Killed, Skinned and Out Up-HJon-
fesaions of the Prisoner.
Tho Wilmington (Del.) Gazette gives
the particulars of a horrible homicide
which occurred In Dover on, the 2nd
Inst., the victim being a colored man
named Henry Tumor, and the perpe
trator a young man named Isaac C.
West, Sr., 29 years of age, and practic
ing as a professor for the euro of pul
monary diseases. West, itappears, had
a laboratory in his establishment in
which there was » gasometer of his
own, which he employed in his profes
sion. Occasionally ho obtained the as
sistance of Turner to carry water and
do similar service. On tho evening of
the day above mentioned the house was
discovered on fire, apparently from an
explosion in the laboratory, where after
the fire was extinguished, a dead body
was found, minus skin, "head, hands
and feet. Underneath the body was
discovered a hole* containing a quantity
of gunpowder, it was at .first supposed
that there had been an explosion of gas,
and that tho mutilated body was that
of the, young professor, but a suspic
ion soon arose that it was all a plan de
vised by him to obtain by indirect
means insurance to the amount of $25,-
000, which he iiad upon his own life.
The matter remained a mystery until
Friddy, tho 6th inst., when the professor
reappeared in Dover and made a con
fession, acknowledging that he. killed
the man, but averring that it was done
in self defense. Turner, according to
his account, having seen him with
money early in the day and attempted
to kill him when employed in his lab
oratory that evening to obtain it. Tbo
statement of West was made before the
coroner and jury. He said : . ,
STATEMENT OF THE PRISONER.
"X had taken my gas apparatus to
pieces that day, intending to fasten a
small sledge hammer to the weights;
the sledge hammer was sitting just in
side the door; the other weights were
near the corner, about eight feet further
on ; one: of the weights was a bolt; or
piece of an axle ; it was about two feet
long and about one and n fourth inches
in diameter; -X just got over about
where this bolt was sitting when I
turned and saw him with this sledge
hammer in his hand ; soon as Turner
saw that I saw him with the hammer,
Turner says, ‘Give me your pocket
book, or I will kill you ;’ I snatched up
the bolt or axle, and just as I did so he
struck at mo with the hammer; he
struck me on top of . my hat, denting
the hat in, but did not touch my head,
as I was stooping over; I then struck
him with the bolt or piece of axle, in- ■
tending to strike him on the head, but
missed his head and struck him on the
neck, I think below the ear ; he foil,
and I don’t think he ever breathed af
ter th at; this was just abou t sunset; he
fell over on his side;'l then felt of hIS
pulse and found that h#was dead; I
did not intend to kill him, but only in
tended to knock him down, so that he
would not kill me; I left the body lay’,
ing there, and came up to Wm. Foun
tain’s hotel and got my supper, and did
not go back any more that evening; I
went back again on Tuesday morning
about 10 or 11 o’clock; I then thought I
would cut him up in pieces and carry
him off and bury him; I cut off his
head and feet with a penknife, and
skinned the body ; I had broken seV
eral of the bones with the bolt or piece
of axle previously; this was uot all
done before dinner; I do not know
how much I did do before dinner; I
went to my dinner that day, but do not
know the exact time; I was not there
in the afternoon to the best of my
knowledge; in the afternoon I got a
horse and carriage of Mr. Fountain and
went out homo to Xlazletvillo, thinking
it would bo dark in the evening when I
came back to take the remains away
and bury them; I think it was about G
o’clock in the evening of Tuesday when
I returned ; I brought down the skin of
Turner in the water bucket; had a
piece of paper over the top of the buck
et, which was about even full; the
horse smelt it and would not let me
take it; I set it down just inside of the
outside• door, and locked the door; I
then brought the horse and carriage up
to the stable; I went up to the hotel
and prepared myself, then thought I
would carry off the remains hi,a bucket
and bury them; X got my supper at
Hazletvillo; I think it was about eight
o’clock; I went back to my room ;JI
then took the bucket that had the skin
in it and started, out on the street with
it; X had not got far before there were
two dogs after me ; I was going, down
Lockman to New street, and then turn
ed into New street; I found the ground
was frozen, and I had' nothing to, dig a
hole with; I the* turned and brought
it back to my room.again; I then re
mained up in my room thinking what
to do ; I then concluded to tear a large
box to pieces I had and make a box
that would hold the remains, and ship
them on the Delaware railroad to some
point undetermined, and then bury
them ; I found it was getting late, and
I could not stay any later that night; I
then came up to the hotel, and went to
bed about J.l o’clock on Tuesday even
ing ; on Wednesday my foot was hurt
ing me, and I did not go back to my
room until about 9 o’clock, and found
the remains smelling so that X could
not ship them on the Delaware railroad;
I was about at different places In town
that day until the afternoon; got my
dinner at Fountain’s hotel as usual; I
think I went back to my room about 2
o’clock Wednesday afternoon; I took
my knife and cut some pieces off the
abdomen; X out the lips and nose off the
head ; I then took the bolt or piece of
axle anal struck the head; X am under
the impression I struck the head before
I cut the lips and nose, intending to
mash the head up so that it could uot
be recognized; it was my Intention to
skin the head; I then thought if I
skinned the head it would still retain
Its shape and bo recognized; I then
took tho head in a bucket and took it
down to n lime heap neat tho railroad

and put lime over It, and put it back in
the bucket, and then carried it back to
the place whore X buried it with a spado
I gotfrom the side of Mrs. Jones’ out
house, under a heap of dead briars, near
the corner of Water street and railroad;
I then came back to my room about 10
o’clock at nightX had a candle and
two lamps; one for the purpose of
burning, alcohol and the otherjfor kero
sene oil; I took the bucket and put the
skin in it to carry it away; I went out
on the street with it and saw some one
coming; I took it back to my rooin
again;‘I melted some tallow on the
floor, and the candle in it, add
then took one of the feet and poured
some alcohol over it; sot fire to it; I
thought that would change the color of
it, and spilt some on the floor, and that
also caught lire; I had the night before
that time piled the box over the body,
and put the pieces of the box on top of
the box; I intended if the alcohol
changed the color of the skin on the feet
I was theu going to spread the skin out
on the floor, and put alcohol on it to
change the color of it by burning the
alcohol; I found the burning of alcohol
did not change the color of the akin;
I intended if it did to put the skin back
on the body, and fit it as well as I
could; the alcohol on the floor caught
fire ; I tried to put the Are out with ray
bat, and could not; then I gathered up.
the feet, hands and sljin in my lianas,
and got.out of the room soon aslcould,
fearing the Are might catch to the pow-,
der in the hole, and walked towards
the Methodist graveyard with the feat,
hands and skin; after I got off sonfio
distance from the house X saw that the
Are'had gone out; did not see more
than one light burning; I started to go
back to the room again, but I ivab 1
afraid to go back, knowing the candle
was setting on the floor; I had gotten
lip near Mrs. Jones’ now house, and I
saw the lire flash up again; I then
turned and went hack towards the
graveyard, where I left the hands, feet
and'skin ; I then took them up and
carried them over in the Methodist
graveyard and Waited there until the
fire was put out. It then went arid tpv
ried the skin along the side of the rail
road ; I started up to get the bauds arid
feet to bury them ; I heard the whistle
of the 4 o’clock down train ; I raked
some lime ever them between two lljne
