A Novel Light.
Tho Paris Figaro gives tho following
method of obtaining light instantaneously,
without tho use of matches and without
danger of setting things on fire : Take an
oblong vial of tho whitest and , clearest
glass, put into it a piece of phosphorus
about the sizo ot a pea, upon which pour
some olive oil, heated to tho boiling point,
filling tho vial about one-third full, and
then seal the vial hermetically. To uso it
remove tho cork and allow tho air to enter
tho vial, and then recork it. The wholo
empty space in the bottle will then become
luminous, and the light obtained will
equal that of a lamp. As soon as tho light
grows weak, it power can bo increased by
opening tho vial and allowing a fresh sup
ply of air to enter. In winter it is some
times necessary to heat the vial between
the hands to increase the fluidity of the oil
Thus prepared the vial may be used for six
months. This contrivance is now used by
the watchmen of Paris in all magazines
where explosive or inflammablo materials
are stored.
Murder by a Woman.
At Utica New York, on tho 17th Inst.,
Milton H. Thompson, was shot through
the nose and check, and II. II. Hall, coal
dealer, of Ogdensburg, was shot in tho
heart and instantly killed, by a woman
giving the name of McCarty, from Albany,
The woman got in the car somewhere near
tho head of Ocnesee street. Thompson,
and Hall, who1 was a relative of Thomp
son's got on the car at Thompson's resl
dence. Some words passed between Mrs,
McCarty and 1 liompson, when the woman
drew a revolver and shot at him. The ball
passed thiough Thompson's faoo and struck
Hall in the heart. The latter jumped from
his seat and fell dead on the bottom of the
car. Thompson's wound is not considered
dangerous. The woman hi under arrest
Lfgcud ef a Diamond.
The great diamond, weighing 154 carats
which has been found at the cape, in Afri
co, aud is now on its way to England, Is
already furnished with its legend. It is said
to have been found In the wall of one of the
native huts, where a poor Irish adventurer
had received hospitality for tho night, and
that being surprised at the light shining
amid tho darkness he hud upon examination
found It to proceed from a clump of earth
of which the wall was built. Of course the
clump was soon detached by tho visitor,
and this now Koh-i-noor, with many other
smaller diamonds, found within.

Brntnl Treatment of a Child.
A shock lug caso of brutality has come to
light at Adrian, Michigan. ,, It appears that
Mrs, Louisa Lossing, who had in charge
her niece, a little girl named Emma Lossing,.
beat the child in a horrible manner because
the child could not eat fast enough at the
table to please her aunt. . In her testimony
before tho justice of the peace the, child
says: " On Monday of last week I got up
and my aunt was real cross; she scolded be
cause I did not eat breakfast faster; I was
ating as fast as I could; sho said she would
feed me if I did not eat faster; as soon as
Uncle William luft she commenced feeding
mo, taking a large piece of bread and fore
ng it into my mouth; I chswed as fast as I
could, and sho said she would whip me if I
did not cat faster; I could not cat faster,
and she took me into the bedroom, stripped
mo and whipped mo with a whip about as
big as your finger, from an apple tree, and
about a yard long; she struck me about a
hundred blows and then said if I would not
make any noise she would , stop whipping
me; I could not help crying aloud, and then
sho choked me; then she whipped me again,
and at last, when I could not keep still; sho
put a towel into my mouth; she had me in
tho bedroom about an hour I should thiuk,
and struck mo, I should thiuk about two
bundled blows. After she had got through
whipping mo I wont back to the table, and
sho madu me cat a great deal moro than I
wanted; did not want to cat anything; she
mado mo cat about enough for four or five
meals lit, that one time; I kept asking her
to let me stop, and said she would not stop
until I had commenced fating fast: tho
oaves wore largo loaves of baker's bread,
and the slices were thick; she would not
let me drink anything."
Several witnesses testified as to tho bru
tality of the treatment which the girl had
received, rind it was shown that in addition
to tho horriblo punishment of cramming,
red pepper had often been forced into her
eyes and mouth. Tho perpetrator of the
outrage was scuteuccd to pay a fine of $100
and confinement in the Detroit House of
Correction for ninety dnys.
TIioho Letters.
James FSsk's letters to Josephine Mans
field, which wcro used against the former
n Stokes' suit, have been published. They
contain nothing of public importance, and
make no revelations as was expected, in
regard to Fisk's relations to tho ring or in
Wall street operations. They show Fisk's
characteristic good nature as well as weak
ness, and how completely he was for a time
under tho dominion of Mrs. Mansfield, for
whom ho did everything to please and en
rich. Most of the love lottcro mention en
closures of chocks or money, and all are full
of protestations of affection. They Indi
cato that Fisk quarreled with Mrs. Mans
field, because, she - gave preference to
Stokes.
Introduction of Linen Industry In Ylr-
, giniu.
The representative of a large linen man.
ufactory in Ireland is now prospecting in
Virginia, with a view of establishing an
extensive manufactory in our State. The
reason for the change Is that the lands in
Ireland, so long devoted to the production
of flax, have so dutorioated that the fibre
is too short for successful and exten,
sive manufacture, and tlie object is to place
tho machinery and skilled labor employed
in close proximity to mora extensive and
better supplies of raw material. This Irish
gentleman is favorably impressed with
many of the advantages which our State
presents, and hi strongly prejudiced in fa
vor of Lynchburg as tho point for his fu
turo operations. Richmond, (Fa.,) Slate
Journal.
tW A . terrible accident occurred in the
Long Island brewery, on Powers street,
last week, by which Frank Gilgram, an em
ployee in tho establishment, had his head
blown to pieces by the explosion of a beer
barrel. Gilgram and Michael Quinn wero
engaged in cleaning barrels, which was
done by filling the vessel with hot water
and slaked lime, aud then rolling it about
in order to generate the gosses.
While they were tlius engaged, a barrel
which they wore rolling, exploded with a
loud report, and hurling tho fragments in
every direction. One of tho pieces struck
the bead of Gilgram, severing it from the
body, and dashiug it against the beams of
the room so violently that it was crushed
into a mass of blood, flesh and bone. Quinn
was hurled to the distanco of about twen.
ty feet, where he laid in an insensible con.
dition, but was not seriously injured. -
tW The banking house of Kennedy &
Co., on Cedar street, N. Y., was robbed
last week of $1)3,000 worth of bonds of the
Appleton and London Railroad Company,
and a promissory noto for $14,000. No
arrests have been mado.
tW A young man went into a florist'
store in Boston, to buy a rose bud for bis
affianced. Seventy-live cents was the price
asked. "Will it keep?" iuqulred th
young man. "Oh, yes, a long while.
Then you may keep it.", Exit young mau,

A Splendid Work.
We have before us Brtggs & Brother's
catalogue of flowers and vegetable seeds for
1872. The outside appearance of the work,
with its highly embellished cover nnd tlnt-
dgeu leaves would seem to indicate that
the book comes before Us for notice
from some extensive lithoirraphio ciintine
establishment or illustrated monthly print
ing house. .Neither guess would be correct.
Tho publishers are seedsmen, said to be the
most extensivo In the world; who raise and
sell flower nnd vegetable seeds, ' sending
them in largo or small quantities to all
parts of the country. They own no end of
gardens and farms, both in and out of Now
York State having a 200 acre farm at
Clinton, Iowa, devoted expressly to seeds,
aud their establishment at Rochester, has
upwards of 00,000 foet of flooring, devoted
exclusively to packing and shipping seeds.
Dut to revert to tho cataiouge before us,
wo must say, that It is moro than was
iromisert in tho advcrtismont ot tlio arm.
ts typography is perfect. Its illustrated
plates are models of pictorial beauty. Its
contents cmbraco useful hints upon tlio
growth and raising of flower and vegetables
and are the results of years of practical ex
perience. Tho purchaser of a catalogue
(an order to Briggs & Brother for one ual
lar's worth of seeds, secures it free,) also
receives an insight Into what he may ob
tain on certain conditions, in the war of
one or two chromo lithographs of flower
boqucts, representing boquets of choice
natural flowers, raised by Briggs& Brother.
These chromos are fully equal to the high
est priced chromos sold, and are a fit orna
ment tor parlor or sitting room. 1 lie cata
logue also contains two representative en
gravings of tho chromos, and parties order
ing only one, which, without an order for
seeds, requires nn enclosure of seventy-five
cento, can select which they preler.
There is no person interested in llowers,
house or garden plants, or engaged in the
aising ot vegetables er market cereals, Who
cannot be benefitted by tho possession of
this valuable and illustrated catalogue. An
enclosure of twenty-five cents, secures it
prepaid, aud the amount in seeds is return
ed, if an order follows tho puichaso of a
catalogue.
Wo might, sav m explanation of tlio issu
ing tho work, that Brings tfc Brother have
prolonged tho time, in order to further
beautify the catalogue with representative
engravings of the.lr chromos, us well as to
add tho very latest novelties, both import
ed and native.
