SHULBO, THE MTSTEBIOUS MURDER.; A SINGULAR STORY. 1TRS. JANET MOWBRAY aud iter 111. four tons lived in 1828 at Harwick Hall, in the oounty of Durham England. Mrs. Mowbray was a tall, powerful woman, of great energy and bravery, In her fifty- fourth year. Her sons were aged respect ivoly thirty-four, twenty-seven, twenty-four and twenty-one. llor husband had been dead many years. Her two eldest sons were married, and their wives and families lived with her. The youngest, Georgo, was wild and dial pa tod, and had given his mother much trouble IIo was deeply in debt, and had been repeatedly threatened with arrest. Mrs. Mowbray was wealthy, and kept in her bed-room, beside a quantity of valua ble plate, large sum of money. On Christmas eve Mrs. Mowbray's son and daughter-in-law paid visit to the res idence of a relative, Mr. Chakcr, of Chaterabaugh. The domestics, relieved from duty, wore in thoir own portion of the dwelling, enjoying the festivilios of the season. The watchman, who was ordinarily on duty in the kitchen garden, took a hasty survey of his beat and joined the rev ellers in the kitchen. On Christmas night they were to have a small gathering of friends and neighbors, and Mrs. Mowbray began to consider tho arrangements necessary. Sho would re quire the old punch-bowl and the ladles and goblets, which she kept in the closet of her bed-room. Sho would go and get them out at once. She went accordingly, aud enter ing the closet took out the silver and laid it on the shelf, ready for removal next morn ing. At the samo time sho took out a large, old-fashioned carving-knifo and fork of quaint pattern, and deposited them also on tho shelf. Sho then returned to tho parlor. After sitting and musing for some time, she took up the biblo and fumbled for her spectacles. She could not And them, and at length remembered that she had left thorn on the shelf in the closet. She at once returned for them. Entering her bed room, she placed the candlo on the dressing table, and lighted a small lamp with which she entered the closet. As she took tho first step inside the clos et, she heard tho sound as of some one breathing heavily. Sho looked up, and saw before her the faco of a man. Sho was a bravo, resolute woman. Sho advanced a step, and observed that the man's head, arms and body were through the small window at the end, as though in the act of wriggling himself through tho opening. In tho man's right hand was a pistol, and his left hand hold of a shelf which ran along the sido of tho closet. The man raised the pistol and fired. Mrs. Mowbray in an in stant seized the huge -carving-knife which lay on the shelf, and advanced toward the ruffian. Ho was struggling to withdraw himself from tho window. His hands wore on the sill and his head somewhat rained, leaving his throat somewhat exposed. Being unablo to work himself out of the nporturo, ho raised the pistol as though to hurl it at Mrs. Mowbray, Tho courageous old lady niado one step forward, and dashed tho keen blado " across tho man's throat, laying it open from ear to ear. She then calmly retired, closed the closet door, blow ant tho lump, and taking up her candlo re turned to tho parlor, first having satisfied herself that not a drop of blood had stained her dress or hands. Half an hour after midnight her children returned homo. ' They found their mother seated by the lire, serenely reading her bible. They greoted her affectionately, and prepared to retire for the night. Mrs. Mowbray said. "Boys, remain behind a little. I wish to speak with you. You, my dear daugh ters, can retire." " ' '. i : i ' -T When she was alone with her children, sho said, with dignity and calmness: " " My children, I have killed a mau. You will find his body fast in the small window of tho closet off my bod-room." ' ; - Her sons stared at her iu amazement. They at first imagined that she must be la boring undor some mental disordor. ' But when she related to them plainly and ra tionally, and in her own straightforward, terse fashion, the story as just told, they saw that sho was telling them asimplofaot. "Go," said she, "and make what ar rangemeuts you ploase. I will wait here, aud you can tell me what course It is host to pursue In this matter." The sons took tho lights and went to their mother's room. Thoy opened the door, and there, sure enough, was the body of a man hanging half through tho win dow. The floor was a pool of blood. With difficulty the eldest son got near enough tho body, without stepping into tho gore, to raise the head, which was drooping on the chest. He grasped the hair, and lifted tho head so that the light might fall upon tho face. As ho did so a cry of hor ror escaped from all. . "Great God I it is our brother Goorge !" "What do you say?" asked Mi. Mow bray, In a voice horribly calm, from the doorway whither she bad followed unper ccived. " George 1 what do you mean ?" " The eldest son dropped the head to prevont, if possible, his mother recognizing It, aud all of them endeavored to explain their exclamation, and to get their mother away from tho spot. It was in vain. " Boys," she said, In her old, well-known tone of authority, . "stand aside. , Let me see tho faco of the murderer I have slain." With that sho put her sons on one side as though thoy had been mere lads, and walked through the slippery gore that lay upon the floor up to the body. She took tho candle from tho unresisting grasp of her first-born, and with a hand that tiem bled not, lifted the head of the dead mau so that the light shone full upon it. She gazed at it steadily for half a minute, then she said, gently loworing it until it rested upon his breast again ; "It Is my boy Georgo 1" Mrs. Mowbray was the only one in that household who remained calm and emo tionless. Tho family were in the wildest state of sorrow. Tho three brothors with difficulty extricated tho body from the win dow. Tho.authoritics were notified, and everything was kept as quiet as possible. Tho Inquest was duly hold, Mrs. Mowbray was fully exonerated, and the body was ten derly prepared for but iul. The real story was known to few outsido the family and tho authorities. It was bclioved by them that George, instead of going to Dovon- shiro, had remained lurking in tho neigh borhood, and had planned the robbery, and if need be tho " murder of his mother. He knew that sho would bo alono on that night, and that sho had a largo sum of money and valuablo jewels in hor room. The old nurso who had held Georgo in her arms when he first saw tho light, took care of the body and prepared it for the tomb. Sho dwelt tenderly on the familiar marks upon tho limbs aud faco which she knew so well, each of which had a story of youth ful daring or folly connoctcd with it. In due time the funeral took place. Tho corpse was laid in the family vault. Only tho family and one or two relatives attend ed. Mrs. Mowbray spent tho best part of eaclt day by tho sido of her dead sou. Sho showed externally no signs of emotion. Before the lid was closed she kissed the forehead, and cut off a lock of the hair. Tho day after tho burial she gavo direct ions to her eldest son to pay all tho- dead man's debts, which was dono at once, so far as known. Gloom settled over the hall. The wing of tho building in which the tragedy occurred was closed up, and Mrs. Mowbray removed to a bedroom up stairs. . ' . ; On the fifth day after the funoral. a nost- chase drove up to tho door of Harwlck Hall, and from it stepped George Mowbray, looking bettor than he had looked for many along days before ho had loft heme. The servant who opened tho hall door started back, and almost dropped with fright. His exclamations caucht the ears of Mrs. Mow bray and her sons, who hastened back into tho entrance hall, only in thoir turn to be dumbfounded. Goorge was as much as tounded as any of them, and cazed from ono to another, perfectly lost in bewildered surprise.. '1 here was no doubt about it. Georgo Mowbray, whom evory body believ ed dead and in the grave, was living and before them. ' , "Mother," said George, ''advancing to ward her, " what is tho matter ? My re turn Is easily accounted for. On reaching Tawvalo, I found that my uncles family had been unexpectedly summoned to Lon don, as my eldest counIii, Sir John ' Gray's wifo, was thought td bo dying. I took a night's rcposo and then started homo acain, and here I am !" Mrs. Mowbray walked up to him, gazed into his face, and then, without a word, folded him in a passionate embrace. Each of his brothers grasped his hands and kissed him as they had been wont to do when he was a boy and the pet of tho family. The old nurso, aroused from her noon-day slumber, embraced and wept over him, and the servants gathered round with wet eyes and congratulatory explanations. All this time Georgo knew nothing of the true reason of this singular reception. Soon, however, tho my story was explained to him. The efloct upon him cannot be described. Measures were immediately 1 taken to have the body of the man who had been buried as George Mowbray disinterred. This was soon done, and as the living Georgo Mowbray stood beside the dead man, the resemblance was seen to be the most extraordinary. Tho marks on the face and hands corresponded with thoso on Georgo's. Tho scars' on tho legs wei-e similar, also; and tho hair, eyebrows and finger-nails were niarvclously alike. Who the dead man was, was never ascertained. Aftor George's return, however, inquiries wero made, such as it was never deemed needful to make so long as the dead man was supposed to le Mrs. Mowbray's youngest son. These inqurlos led to the discovery that the day before tho tragedy three men, sup posed to be from London, took up their quarters at an inn in a neighboring village, ono of whom the landlord thought he rec ognized as having been in Mrs. Mowbray's servloe as a groom. The footstcpB of three persons were also discovered id the garden, and somo time- after a rope-ladder and a horse-trough, which had apparently been used to lay upon the spikes at tho top of the garden wall, were ' discovered iu the neighboring copse. But the name of the dead man was nevor discovered. ENIGMA DKPABTMKNT, Cross-Word Enigma. . I am composed eighteen letters.

VERY few jiersons comprehend what a wonderful undertaking is the build ing of a bridgo over the Eas- T.ivcr to con nect the citios of New York and Brooklyn. Last week while in New York wo visited tho foot of Rosovclt street whoro the caisson for tho bridgo to rest upon is being built. The following description from a recent visitor will bo found interesting: "Twelve air pumps were at work forcing air into the depths below, while two sand pumps were throwing out large streams of sand. Under charge of ono of the engin eers, a party wero just starting to descend into the depths below. Two shafts afford access to the interior of the caisson, and down one of theso the party descended by means of a spiral staircase. At the bottom of each shaft on one side is a small oval opening just large enough to admit the body of a man, and closed by an iron door. This affords entrance to a small circular chamber about eight feet in length and Bix feet in diameter, Pulled, tho " lock." At the bottom of the lock on tho opposite side from tho entrance is a similar opening, into the caisson, which gives access to its intorior. The pressure of air in the caisson is thirty pounds to tho squaro inch, or double the ordinary atmosphero pressure. Once in tho lock and tho entrance closed, it bo comes necessary to have an equal amount of prcssuro, before the door iuto tho caisson can bo opened. To this end air is forced into the lock uutil tho tight pressure is reached. It is here that tho most unpleas ant part of Jhe journey is experienced, as tho constantly increasing prcssuro acts upon tho tympanum of tho ear, and would rupture it, if it were not counteracted by closing tho nostrils, and inflating the checks to thoir fullest extent, thus crenting an ar tificial prcssuro upon the inside of the ear, This has to bo dono every few seconds, and oven then the sensation is sometimes pain ful. Tho air rushes into tho narrow cham ber with a noiso like tho hissing of steam. Four or five minutes were needed to obtain the required pressure, when the air was turned off and the lower door opened. De scending a short ladder, the party found themselves standing upon a narrow plank walk in one of the chambers of tho caisson, and seventy feot below the level of the water In tho river. This great depth being required to get to a solid base, below the quick sand. , ' ' Once lnsido no discomfort is experienced from the compressed atmosphere. The in terior is divided into six chambers by mas sive partitions of wood and irou, with pas sages through them iuto each chamber. In all directions aro laid narrow plank walks for tho convenience of wheeling the sand which forms tho bed of the river to tho dis charge pipes. Tho chambers are about eight feet lu height and lined throughout with a thin plating of iron. This is to guard against the wood-work catching fire. Such au act happened to the Brooklyn cais son, and vory nearly destroyed it. The chambers are well lighted with gas, but are dim with clouds of mist. In that compressed atmosphere a foot burniier gives as much light as a four-foot burnor would in ordinary air. It would naturally be sup posed that in so confined a space, there would be a liability of the nir becoming m-, pure, but such is not the ease. An nualysis of the air in the excavation was made a short timo ago, and it was found to con tain a very small per ceutage of carbonic add gas. A couple of pigeons wore kopt iu a chamber nearly two weeks, aud seemed to experience no discomfort. The sand ex cavated is forced out through the pipes by the simple pressure of the air. The pipes are about four inches in diameter, and 0er ate upon tho principle of a syphon. The sand Is wheeled from the different cham bers to the pipes, and . there shoveled around them. The flow can be shut off at any time by means of a stop-cock worked by melius of a huge wrench. Botween twonty and thirty men were at work in the chambers. The lowest point reached in the excavations is within nine feet of tho bed of rock. The average depth of tho sand, however, is about fifteen foot. Already boulders of trap rock are found im bedded in the quicksand; these aro broken up and hoisted out by means of an appa ratus similar to a dredging-machino, work ing in a huge shaft filled with water. The men work in rolays, or 41 watches," each "watch" remaining in the caisson for three hours. The low dim-lighUd chambers, filled with mist, the shining pools tf water, and the men toiling in the flaming gas-light amid the rushing, rumbling noise of the sand syphons, combined to make up an in teresting scene, not easily forgotten. "Try to whistlo," suggested the conductor of tho party, and try we did but without success. Pucker their lips, and blow as hard as they could, no sound approaching a whistle could be produced. The voice, too, had a strange unnatural sound, as though uttered in a high key, all due to the compressed atmosphere. The interior of the sides of the caisson slopes outward, not unlike the lips of an enormous boll. In fact, tho working of the structure is upon nearly the same principle as that of a diving-bell, the pressure of tho air keeping out tho water. When the bed rock is reached, and the caisson fairly set tled upon it, the interior will be filled with concrete and masonry. Tho return to the upper world was unat tended with the unpleasant sensations of the descent. After re-entering the " lock" tho door into the chambers was closed, and the compressed air allowed to escape, until the pressure was equal to that of tho outside atmosphero. This was an operation of somo llvo minutes duration, and produced in the ears of thoso in the lock a sound as of rushing water as though the person wero diving. A little unpleasant feeling was experienced when the open air was reached, but it soon passed off. Those making daily descents do not notice it. Up to the present time the amount ex pended is over $2,000,000. The total cost of the bridgo is expected to be twelve mil lions of dollars, and it will be high enough above water for ships to sail under, and strong enough to carry a railroad train at full spoed. ' Flint Soup. A Zouavo in the army of Italy billeted at tho house of a Savoyard, whoso wife ; was the most avarici ous woman in the wholo country around. ' " ; ' The Zouavo had drank his pay ' on tho march, and sold his broad for more drink, so as not to sot out tur htm tent V amble. Now the host was compelled by law to give him but three things, that is, water, fire and salt the whole insufficient to make a meal. The Zouavo was not discouraged. IIo lit a flro first, put a pot of water on tho hearth, and then went to look for a large stone, which he carefully placed in tho pot as though it wero beef. , The good woman oponcd her oyes With astonishment. ' "What aro you making ?" sho said.. "Flint soup.", : -. "And is it good?" " So good you would lick your fingers. But, unfortunately, there is a trifle needed that I had forgotten." "What is it?" "Some vegetables to absorb the fat.'' "They shall not be wanting; here are somo carrots and cabbage." . The Zouave took the welcome vegetables and continued to blow the fire. From time to timo he stirred the stone with a spoon. " It is becoming tendor," said he; "it isof good quality. What a pity there Is not a little hog's laid te give it a flavor t ." " My faith, my boy' paid the old woman, ", I have never eaten flint soup; and if yon promise me a plate, I will go and get some hog's lard. r. .-'. i ' ' " You shall have tho first taste of the broth." !. . .. - ; r !.- ; The lard is put in with the vegetables, and already it emits a savory smell. "I do not know if It is true," 'said the Zouave, speaking to himself, "but they have afllrmed to me that some garllo and a few cloves wore not superfluous In this pot tage." The old woman had gono too far to stop at trifles. The accessories were brought ; aud ten minutes after tho soldier served up an admirable Julicn, which delighted his hostess. The next day, when the soldier was ready to depart, tho old wamon found the stoue entiro iu the pot, and wished to re turn It to her guest. " Thanks," said he, with the most perfect coolness; "but I do nut like meat hoatod over again." tW The Teutonic tailor of Pennsylva nia village having married a second wife Indecently soon after the funeral of his first, the young men of the place notified their disapproval by a tin serenado during the progress of tho weddiug feast.' Tho vulgar fi action of a man expostulated iu the following stylo: " I say boys, you ought to be ashamed of yourself to be mak ing all dis noise veu dar vas a funeral here so soou !"
