While that was put ting it pretty strong, it is admitted that a chain of circumstantial evidence has often sent men to the gallows. If a cir cumstance can bo explained away, it is but a mere shadow, if it cannot be ex plained away, it becomes a menace to tho prisoner's life. A witue-s may bo bribed, abducted, or impeached. A cir cumstance is a lion in tho path demand ing blood. It has often been asserted that innocent men have been hung on circumstautial evidence. There may havo been such instances, but they have been rare in deed, lu my own oxperienco in la. and detective work I have seen some curious things about circumstantial evidence. It is, in one seuse, the strongest chain which can bo forged, in a: jthertho very weakest. About twenty years ago i was detailed on a murder case in a Kentucky town. It was not to work up the caso, but to save if possible the young man arrested for the crime. When 1 got the facts and details I felt hopeless to accomplish any thing. Ho was a young man of name 1 Graham, and was of respectable lamny. ue naa occu engaged to a young lady of tho highest respectability, but they had quarreled about something. Common frieuds had brought about a reconciliation, but a now suitor had ap peared upon tho scene, and Graham's jenlously had provoked another quarrel, lie had not visited her in two weeks, when, on the evening of Sunday, Octo ber :'(, one of Graham's friends met him and said : "Your rival is up at I osslng's, nnd seems bound to cut you out. Adele seems very sweet on him." raham truly loved the girl, and this speech made him wild. Ho turned pale, trembled, and finally said: "He is an adventurer nnd an inter loper. Let him look out for himself!" An hour later he started for I.ossing's. lie passed several people who saw that he was excited, 'i ho bouse stood back from tho road in a grove of trees, nnd was approached by two paths or drives from the front, l.r.diam fully intended to enter tho house, but when ho camo upon the grounds his courage failed him. He was at mid he might say or do some thing rash in his present mood, nnd very sensibly desidud to return to town aud defer his call till the next day. Next morning h s rival's dead body was found on one of the drives, nbout half way be tween the house aud the fence. Ho had been stru .k down with a bludgeon. Con clusions are always jumped at in murder cases. Two of the servauts were at once arrested, but before nooa they were sot at liberty and Graham was taken into custody. The chain already contained levcral links. Others were added the moment ho was arrested. He w is dread fully agitated, hesitated to ackuowlodgo that hu had bceu near tho place, and a blood stain was found ou tho right sleeve of his coat. liefore he had been in ja:l ono day cveu his owu father be llieved him a murder. He was examined and bound over, nnd it was ouly after that event that ho began to protest his innocence. The girl who had been the cause of it camo nobly to his rescue. While she truly loved him, she had been willing to make him jealous, aud when murder had come of it, as she believed, sho felt terribly conscious strikeu aud anxious to believe in his protestation of innocence. Wheu 1 camo upon the ground, tho Statu bad when I went over it to look for a Haw I could find noue. I had to acknowledge that I wai without hope. Indeed, I J;e lieved Graham guilty. His owu exptV nations rather strengthened that belief, l.ossiug's house faced the east. The highway iu front ran north and south. The lawn was twenty yards wide, and oue drive led from the north aud the other from the south end. Graham ap proached from the north. He would nuturally turn in at the lirt drive, but he claimed to have gone ou to the second. He followed it to the house, passed around it, played for two or three min utes with Ihe dogs, and theu circled ahbut the IMi pond, and took a short cut across tho grove and strucK the road, pot hitting the north path at all. Tho dead umti had come from the village as well, and ou foot. He had come and at tempted to return by the north drive. it i-iMlinm was innocent who was 1 guilty f i .Not tho slighle-t susp'clou h:id Ihxvi directed elsewhere. It seemed hopeless to look. 1 questioned and cross-ipies- 1 tioucd him, b it ho could not give me the slightest foundation for a clue or a : tkeory. W'lut 1 got camu by accidunr. j 1 asked to see the blood-stained cloth- ' ing, and 1 found it to be a sintrlo daub 1 of blood on a white vest. It was a curious mark, such as I had never seen before, and when I quietly investigated fuithor I discovered that the murdered man had been struck on tho back of tho head and fallen forward on his face. Ho had very thick hair, and, whilo the blow had crushed the skull, ho had blcrl but little. The blood would not spurt from such a blow. The body had not bfen lifted, and so how did Graham get thnt blood stain? Accident gave mo the knowledge. I was looking the ground over at Lossing's for the fourth or fifth time, when oue of tho dogs came and leaped upon me in a caressing Way. Los sing observed it and remarked: "Old Fan was always very fond of Graham, and I believe she misses him. Here, Kan, let me look at you paw. Ahl it's nbout as well as ever, isn't it?" "What ailed her paw?" 1 asked. "Sho got a tcrriblo cut on a piece of glass a few weeks ago." "About tho time Gtaham was ar rested (" "Yes." 'Then it was her bloody paw that made tho mark on his vest that night:" "Good heavens, but it must havo been !" I had a clue and a hope. Everything changed in an hour, nnd I now believed Graham innocent and went to work to securo proofs.- I posted up to Louis villo and examined tho polioo records for arrests. I followed a score or more of cases to their finish, but got nothing. It was my belief that a white man com mitted the crime, and that lie meant robbery, but was frightened olT. I re turned to the village and looked every body over, but got no satisfaction. The day of the trial was coming and I was in despair, but accident came to my aid again. I happened into the hotel barn as the landlord pulled a lot of rubbish out of a stall. Hidden away with it was a fine saddle, and as it was brought to light the man exclaimed : "Hlcss mo, hero is tho dead man's saddle 1" "Was it missing?" I nsked. "It was stolen on tho night of his murder. That's tho reason ho went down to Lossing's on foot." Who stole it? What for? An out sider, who stole tho saddle for its worth would have carried it olL An insider only would have stored it in the stall. Who was inside? A white man and two colored assistants.. Within an hour I had ascertained that 'the ' to man, whoso namo was Foster, .is absent for an hour on the evening of the murder, and that siive he had acted very queerly. I arrested him, charged him with tho crime, and lio did not hold out fifteen minutes. His mo tive was robbery. He did not intend to kill his victim, but only to stun hiin. Ho had just struck him when the dogs barked greeting to Graham, and, over come by sudden fright, Foster dashed away and dared not return. He thought ho had only to keep still to render him self safe, aud, but for my being present when tho saddle was found, ho might never have bdon suspected. Graham was cleared nnd Foster was hauged. The change had been brought about by tho fondling of a dog. The second caso occurred in Ohio, in a town not far from Cincinnati. A young man, Frank Meyer, had become infatuated with a widow older thm him self. His father aud friends mudo every cllort to break it up. The young man was finally brought to seethejerror of his way.", but when he attempted to sever the tio tho woman sought to hold him by threats. This nugered him nud he in dulged in some hard talk of what he would do in case she fuither annoyed him. Thus matters stood when ho sot out one evening to see her and make a Inst attempt to settle. It was a summer night, and they were seen walking in tho suburbs of tho town. They were over heard in nngry talk. Sho defied him. He returned home pale and excited, his clothing disarranged, and his face bleed ing from scratches. An hour later she wae found dead, choked to death. Y'oung Myers was arrested at mid night. He did not even assert his iuno ceuco. It was only on his examination that ho protected, and even his own father believed him guilty. I happened to b8 in the town, aud tho way 1 came into the case was by relating "the inci dents of the one I have already narrated. Tho prisoner himself sent for ino and told me this story : "1 met the woman, Mrs. Albright, by appointment. We walked out on Chirk avenue to be alone. I told her that my miud was firmly made up to see her no more, aud she was very angry. I should have returned with her, but at the littlo bridge she ordered me to leave her, threatening to do desperate things if I did not relent by the morrow. I did not return by the highway, as our meeting was a secret on8 and 1 did not want it known. I crossed a comer of the graveyard, fell o!f the fence as I did so, and thero my face was scratchod by the briers. "Hut you hardly denied your guilt," I said. "Because I was confuted and stunned by my arrest, and becausy I saw no use of it," he replied. "I have told you the truth. 1 waut you to helv me Drove mv- self clear." , I left him with flip foflinf tVif h lyiug'to me, and that nothiug could bet doue in his case. Ten or twelve days j had elapsed, but there had been no rain. 1 weut to the bridge, crossed j tho creek at the point lie told me to, and soon came upon his trail. At i the graveyaru fence I fouud a broken rail aud the place where he had fallen. 1 found the briars broken and crushed, and from tho thorns I gathered several small fragments belonging to tho suit ho wore. Further he had stermed into a ditch where mud was soft at the timo. It had now dried hard aud preserved the ' print. I measured it, aud when I ro- i turned to town I had beg n to believe ' that Meyers was cither a good talker or , an innocent man. His story was all I right in one seuse, but ull wrong in the I other. Did he make tho trail while ' leaving the woman alive or dead j An olii sayiug ulways goes with an ar- ; rest: "If he didn't do it, who did?" Somebody must be held responsible. ! After two or three interviews with young ' Meyers and his parents, I doubted if ho ! could have choked the woman to death, j He was frail aud in poor health, aud sue ; was robust and strpng. She had scarcely struggled at all, proving that she had ' beeu attacked suddeuly aud that the grip j was a forcible oue. He neck was dis colored as well as her throat, provin" that two largo hands had been employed? j However, no suspicious characters hufl been seen in tho neighborhood, nnd the murderer, if other than Meyers, had mado his escape. I was completely blocked, and could only hope thnt ac cident would help mo out. It had been said that the body had not been robbed. The only theory seemed to bo revenge. If it was not Meyers, then it was some former lover, and I went to Cincinnati to mako in quiries. On tho way up my watcb stopped, and my first call was at a jeweler's, I had not been in his place sixty seconds when in wnlked a stout, strong follow, who laid a lady's watch on the showcase and said : "I am going away, and I waut to sell this. It belonged to my wife who is dead." "We don't buy second-hand watches," replied tho jeweler, but he carelessly picked tho watch up, examined it, nnd then snid: "This is one of our walches. I re member selling it two or thrco months ago." "Yes," replied the man, reaching out for it. "Let's see the name," continued the jeweler, as he went for a book. "Never mind," replied tho mau. "If you don't want to buy, very well; I'm in a hurry." "Sold to Mrs. Albright of ," said the jeweler as he handed it over. "The woman who was murdered!" I said to tho stranger. "Were you hei husbandl" "N , ycsl" ho stammered. "And you hao not been near i That is strange 1 You will go with me to tho police." lie tried to draw his pistol, but I was too quick for him. Tho police recog nized him as n bully and n bad charac ter, and inside of half a day I had es tablished the fact that ho was acquainted with tho murdered woman. Then 1 traced him to tho depot, and on the train to tho village, and later ou found two villagers who remembered of seeing him there that night. When I had got him reasonably sure I confronted him with my facts, and ho broke dowu and made a full' confe-sion. He had conn out to see Mrs. Albright that night, and he had found her on the bridge aud quar relcd with her. She was desperate and defiant, and in a lit of passion he had choked her to death. He had seized the watch, but left all else, nud so the Coro ner's jury had been misled. The fellow, who;e nnmo was Fan Curnmings, was a craven as well as bully. Ho confessed all and cleared Meyers, but while awaiting his trial committed suicide. Acta York Hun. TMding to School on Broncos. At Manor, Texas, in that sparselj settled country along the line of tht Houston and Texas Central 1,'ailway, j came to a large wood-colored building surrounded by a caravan of horses. J counted upward of fifty, all saddled and each hitched to a treo. Everything about tho house was as still as death". "It must be a funeral." I said. Sud deuly the scene changed. The doors 01 tho building burst open and out broke lifty school children, ".-'chool's out." they shouted, and a caravan of children scrambled for tho horses. In a momenl tho youngsters had mounted and were riding helter-skelter over tho prairie. The Texas mustangs seemed to scent thi irolic and kicked up their heels as they galloped home with tho school children. With their dinner-pails jingling on the pommels of tho saddles and theii dresses and jackets waving in the wind, they looked like a mail caravan ol Hcdouins. "How far did you como?" I asked s littlo tot who sat behind his sister on s speckled mustang. "1 turn dood way I turn" "Why, he's come six m'les,'' inter rupted his sister. "Jimmy is only five years old. He doesn't know how far he does come." "But I live ci? ' miles," said a littlo J.ora r auntie1 j on a dancing bronco, "but I can ride it iu an hour and have dono it in thirty minutes." Then he spurred his horsj till he leaped away over tho prairie. It is very common to see school chil dren wearing spurs in Teas. Texas has the richest school fund of auy State in the Union, but sho lacks tho children. Some counties have as much as $"10,000 laid up for school purposes. They are just waiting for tho children to grow. Xem Yirk World. Htirmah's Hairy Toople. A remarkable hairy family has long oxisted at the court ol Hurmah, where I.

As tho train ap proached the frontier the bride grew uneasy, nud presently confessed that she had a quantity of liucst Brussels lace in her bag on whi h a high duty would havo to be paid. "Hut it inside your hat," sho pleaded. This was done.

Hosiery which it is feared may fade should be very quickly washed. For delicate colors make a lather of pure soap and warm water, with a few drops of ammonia, nnd wash rapidly; rinse in clear water with a little ammonia in it. Instead of hanging socks and stockings lip to dry some laundresses ndvise to pull them into shape and roll up very tightly in a clean cloth, letting them become almost dry this way. Tale bluo is a fleeting color, and a hot sun or hot fire will often fade it. Aeto Yrk World. Cast o(T Gloves. Fid it ever occur to you, writes a lady to the frairie Farmer, to save the wrists especially the long ones of old kid gloves I I made a very pretty card caso of a pair of tan colored ones, by taking two pieces of card board anil covering them neatly on one side with the kid, and on the other with a piece of light blue silk. Cut the silk and kid a trifle wider than the pieces of crd board juBt enough to allow for a seam, nnd sew tho two pieces of kid and silk up in the sbapo of two bags, leaving ono long edge open in both. Turn them and sew another piece of silk on tho inside to form a pocket; or, if ono desires, a pocket may be made in each side. Slip the pieces ot card board in, sew the seam between the boards and hide the seam with a pieco of ribbon or fancy needle decoration. Mine is ornamented on the covers with a pen-and-ink sketch. Cnro of Umbrellas. After comiug in out of the raiu let tho umbrella down and stand it on the han dle, that it may dry in this position; the water will thus drip from the edges of the frame and the cover dry uuiformly. Wheu placed with the handle upward, as is frequently done, the water runs to the top of the umbrella and tho moisture is ther retained in tho lining under neath the ring for some length of time, causing tho silk or fabric with which tho frame is covered to become tender and soon rot. Ordinarily the top of an umbrella wears out sooner than the other part of it, nnd in the majority of cases may be thus accounted for. A silk urn. brolla is much injured by being left open to dry; the silk becomes stretched and stiff aud will sooner split thus cared for. When not in use let the folds lie .loose, not fastened down, the creases are less apt to split from this usage. Dis pense with an umbrella case except in traveling, as a protection from dust and cinders. To the friction from the case is partially due tho minuto perforations that appear in the silk in spito of nil caro and expense in puichasing. Wheu car ried iu the baud in anticipation of fall ing weather, tho folds may be strapped down as it adds to the neatness of its ar pearance. iVw York Independent. Homo Cheese Slaklnir. For tho manufacture of cheese on a small scale are required a cheese hoop about ten inches in dimeter with a fol lower, a new wasbtub and a press. Tho milk should be taken perfectly fresh from tho cow and strained through a cloth into tho cheese tub. As a gallon of milk will make one pound of cheese the precise quantity at a time should bo noted, l'art of it should bo warmed, m that tho temperature of tho wholo when in the tub shall be raised to eighty three degrees Fahrenheit. The rennet, thoroughly cleaned or prepared, should thon be added, enouch be;ng ucd to produce curdling in abour forty minutes. As soon as the curd will break smoothly, it should bo cut with curd knives into square- aud then allowed to stand until the whey runs o!t'. Fart of this whey is then heated, the mass of curd is lifted and broken iu minute pieces and warm whey is added until the the temperature of the wholo is raised ninety-eight de grees Fahrenheit. When cool this oper ation Is repeated until the curd becomes crumbly, easily falling to pieces when pressed in the hand. The whey is then all drained off and the curd put into the cooler aud cut up with curd knives; when tho temperature has fallen tomo what it is turued over and left until it assumes a flaky condition. When nearly dry salt is added, and tho wholo is mixed thoroughly with a curd mill. It is then put into the bandage iusido of tho hoop, and is put on the press. Af ter remaining there from two to four hours it should be takeu out and turued. The next day it may bo taken from the press and put ou u shelf to cure. York Ileru'J. Kecipes.

A Reminiscence of His Tioylsh Prowr en Hli Clear-nut, Sinewy Frame AV an Anatomical Marvel. A tale still current in Washington's old home neighborhood iu Virginia re counts how once as a strippling he sat reading under the shade of nn oak tree near his school. Some of his friends had engaged a champion wrestler of the county to test their strength in an im promptu riutr. one after another fell a victim to the champion's skill, till, grown bold at last, he strode back and forth like one of the giants of old-time romance, daring the only boy who had not wrestled with him either to put his book down and come into the ring or own himself afraid ! This was more than the self-contained Washington could stand. Quietly closing his book, ho accepted the challenge. Long after, when the student under the oak tree had become the conqueror with whose honored name the whole civilized world resounded, the ex-champion told what followed: "After a fierce, short struggle," he said, "I felt myself grasped and hurled upon the ground, with a jar that shook the marrow of my bones." With tho memory of these boyish en counters in mind, and with all his sym pathy for athletic exorcises, think what it must have been to Washington, when Commander-in-Chief of the Involution ary Army, to como upon a party of his young officers amusiug themselves at a game of "fives," and, in spito of his evident enjoyment of the sport, to find them too much overcome with awe to go on playing. It was in vain that the General encouraged them to resume their sport; so, at last, feeling that greatness has its drawbacks, he bowed, wished his olliccrs good day, and walked away. As a horseman, from beginning to end of his vigorous life, Washington had no peer. Like all Virginian boys, he took to the saddle as a duck takes to water. Once astride his steed, it was all but impossible to dislodge him. From tho day when as a lad ho first rode to hounds after old Lord Fairfax, of Grcenway Court, across the county named for that worthy nobleman, he was a skilled and dashing fox-hunter. In the army, when ou horseback, riding down the line, cheered to the echj by the soldiers, who believed, with superstition worthy of the ancients, that here was a being born to lead them, ho whs physically the most imposing figure preseut. In person, Washington showed in his maturity tho fruits of the lifetime he had given to what athletics nowadays call "training." His habits, at all times, wero those exacted of a "crew" or "team" of modern days, be fore the occasions when those heroes ap pear in public, to till with despair or exultation the bosoms of their friends. From the Indians of the Shenandoah wilderness, among whom he spent weeks during his first surveying tour, ho learned the swift, elastic step tread that dis tinguished him in walking. His powers of endurance wero worthy of his extra ordinary physical strength, though it must be said he had few illnesses to test his constitution, nnd, indeed, was rarely ailing. It may be some consolation to aspirant heroes of the future to hear, while upon this topic, that Mrs. Wash ington said it was well the General was so rarely ill, as she could never get him to take his mediciue! ".Ma'or I.nurence Lewis once nsked his uncle wbt was his height in the prime of life," says Custis. "Ho replied : 'In my best days, Laurence, I stood sit feet two inches in ordinary shoes.' Of his weight we are nn evidence, having heard hiin say to Crawford, Governorof Canada iu 17'JH: 'My weight, in my best days, sir, never exceeded from two hundred and ten, to twenty. His form was unique. I nliko most athletic forms, which expand at the shoulders and gather in at the hips, the form of Washington deviated from the general rule.since it descended from the shoulders to tho hips in perpendicular Hues, the breadth of the trunk being nearly as great at the ono end as at the other. His limbs were long, large and sinewy; ho was what is culled straight-legged. His joints, feet nud hands were large, aud could a cast have been made from his right hand (so far did its dimensions exceed nature's model1, it would have been preserved iu museums for ages as the anatomical wonder of tho eighteenth century." ti Xiciolns. Sagacity ol Shepherd Dojs. A gentleman who has had tonsidera ble to do with shepherds ami drovers iu Kngland and S -otland, speaking of the story published iu tho Ortyonian a day or two since about a dog separating the ewes and wethers of a Hock by noticing the earmarks, say there is uo douht but what it is true. He has knowu d.'gs to go iuto a drove of sheep which were marked with several ditlcreut marks aud single out every one bo.iriug his master's murk. Ho says the shepherds train the it dogs by taking them along when puppies under their care as they mark the sheep, and the dog is thus taught to distinguish marks. Ho says furthur that ut the sheep market in Islington drivers have their sheep marked with bluo or rej paint, aud when ihe drives get mixed dog will go into tho baud and bnug out his master's sheep, telling them by the color of tho marking. iShepherd dogt are the most intelligent of tho canine family, and when they are brought up auioug herds of sheep aud trained t lake charge of them, it is but reasonable to suppose that they may learn to notice marks of any kind on thoni.

Inability to dis cern any color properly so-called, so that black and white namely light and shade -aic tho only variations of tint perceived. luability to d scriminnte betwecu th.t nicer shades of the more composite colors, such as browns, greys, aud neutral tints. :t. Inutility to dis tinguish b -twecn the primary colors, red, blue and yellow, or between those and thu so:oiulary nud tertiary colors, such as green, purple, orange and brown. '1 ho first sort of color blindness would seem to be very rare, but well marked cases of it a:e 011 record. The second variety, where, tho nicer shades of tho moru iO!upo-.tu colors arc mistaken, would api'e.i ' to bo very comnmu tho rule rather than the exception iu the ma jority of pcitous, at least of the inalo sex, in this c .iintry ; but it is a matter of iloii't how f ir it may not be referable to ini; irfcct c'litivation of the sense of co'.or.
