LIKE A WOMAN
The men's eves met for a moment as Medic
spoke, and in that moment each read that the
other knew all about It. "Ho knows I love
her," poor Theo moaned In his heart, and
"He sees I know It," Mr. Bligh thought,
with not one whit less pain. And a silence
fell on them and in that silence. Madge saw
things clearly at last.
TO recognize the love of a man In the pros
ence of another who has a right to feel jealous
of it, is to be in a position of the greatest dan
ger, and delicacy, and difficulty. Poor Madge
flinched for the first momeht when she found
herself in it, but the next Instant she recov
ered herself, and, with the generosity of a
woman; sought to put them well with one
another without regard to herself.
"It was selfish of me to say I wouldn't
spare you, for it must be dull for you here ;
but the fact is, Theo has spoilt me,. just as my
brothers do, and I have fallen into the way
of ordering him about as I do them, forgetting
he isn't a brother. What a lovely piece of
turf Shall we canter?"
She went off as she spoke, and they fol
owed, Theo spurring his horse rather reek
essly by way of a diversion, and Mr. Bligh
bewildering himself with his endeavors to
distinguish which would be the right course
for him to pursue. "I'll put it to her plain-
iy," ho determined at last, "and if her heart
Las turned to him. God bless her, 13'..0 shall
never suffer for it."
Fate seemed to be against things righting
ernselves in the original way. They rode
fast and far, and when they thought of turn•
ing homeward Miss Dundee's horse had cast
a shoe, and they were obliged to wait In the
first village they could find, while a black•
smith was sent for to put it on again.
It was terrible trying work fur them all
hat sitting in the room at an inn, weighttd
with the discoveries they had recently made
about each other. It became insupportable
to Mr. Bligh after a short- time, and so' he
sauntered out into the garden, and Theo and
Madge were alone.
Her spirit rose with her sense of danger, as
does that of all finely-organized natures, am
she turned to him bright and bravo at once
though he had grown to he very dear to her
and though she knew that he was suffering
horribly on her account. "It seems to me,"
she said " that we're all very weak and wrong
to let a shadow settle over the last ride you'll
have with us, until I am an old married wo
man, with household cares on my shoulders,
that will crush down my love of horses."
"This will be my last ride with you, ➢Liss
Dundee."
"Theo I" She threw such a world of re
proachful tenderness into the tone in ,which
she uttered that one word, that the man she
addressed trembled visibly- Ells resolve when
spoken coldly and harshly, shocked and sur
prised her, out of the brightly prudential tone
she hag, fully intended to adopt. Why had Mr.
Bligh gone away, leaving them the prey of
this mischievous opportunity ?
"Yes ; for Heaven's sake don't speak to me
in that way, or you'll drive me mad !" and
then he got up and went to the window ; and
poor Madge saw that his face had grown very
pale, and that an expression of hopelessness
had settled upon it. She could not bear it.
He had been so thoughtful for her always—so
gentle, and devoted, and sympathetic—that
she felt as if she must comfort him, let what
might come of it.
" Theo," she said again, with that sense pa
thetic cadence In her voice, " you have been
so kind to me always; I can't bear to see you
so. Can't I make you happier, Theo ?"
.He turned round quickly and caught her
bands, as she was standing near to him.
"Madge, do you love my uncle ?" •
Half frightened, she drew back from him
and "I am engaged to him," she stammered.
" Yes, but you have made me love you ;
you knew your chance, and you have used it.
If you love him, let me go without another of
those appeals that you know how to make so
maddening ; if not—Madge, Madge !"
He had taken her hands again, and was
looking down Into her face with a gleans of
such intense pleading affection that fora me
ment he was the world to her.
"If I pad known you flret," she sobbed
"but I didn't, you see; and we Dundees
never break our word. And—oh 1 you had
better go after all ; but forgive me l"
Forgive her. It was easy enough to say he
would, and to make au end of this miserable
scene, but it was very bard to do it. Had she
not spoken his name with all her heart in her
voice only a minute ago, leading him on by
the tone she used to tell his secret to her in
the hope that she would be brave, and avert
eventual misery from them all ? And now
she was telling him that if she bad knoWn Lim
first she would Lave loved him best, and that
she could not for her name's Sake break her
word to Lis uncle.
It was a ghastly state of affairs, and as soon
as he could, Theollligh made an end of it by
going away. The two men had no verbal ex
planation on leave-taking, but they parted as
comrades who bad been wounded in the same
fight might part. And then Theo fou . nd that,
though existence was not embittered to him,
the savor bad gone from the old pleasures.
It was decidedly not worth while now, he
felt, to try and do anything good or definite ;
for he could never find a wornan to share his
glory or smile upon his success, who could put
Bonnie Dundee out of his mind ; after her
other women did and would always appear to
be wanting in something. She had the trick
of making others appear lame and pale, and
insufficient, and—well, the mon who has been
shone upon by a star, never feels that there is
much warmth in a taper.
He banished himself so effectually that he
heard no tidings from the Chase for six months
and then he ventured to Bend his address to
his banker, and to have letters forwarded to
him ; but before these letters are read, a re
trospective glance at the Bonnie Dundee must
be given.
She bore his departure very bravely. Re
member how many other interests were claim
ing her attention at the time, and remember
the ardent, impressionable, changeable nature
of the girl. There was a good dent of the
chameleon in Bonnie Dundee, and a dash of
the peacock, and an Immense deal of the wo
man. She had the faculty of feeling intense
ly for the time, and of getting over things.
Is not that last characteristic the secret of
many women keeping right and of many oth
ers going wrong I •
It brushed the bloom of the peach roughly
when he went away, fur that veiled idolatry
of his bad been very pleasant to her ; never
theless she bore it bravely and made the best
of that which remained to her. "I sin so sorry
for I was so fond of him," she said to her
lover with that disarming frankness which
women of her calibre know so well how to
use and Mr. Bligh hearing her, did not won
der that his nephew had been scorched
by the fiery ordeal through which lie had
passed.
There was this about it,too, that it was such
clean fire that oven her, own sex could not
despise and condemn and prophesy evil
things concerning Miss Dundee's warmth.
Just as she loved light, and dancing, and
flowers; and sweet sounds, so did she love to
be loved ; and though It made her dangerous,
It never made her despicable. And somehow
men understood Thin, nod so fostered ber oth-
or foibles, because of their gladness that she
was free from greater ones.
It was only about a week before the day
fixed for thalr marriage, that Mr. high ven
tared to speak decisiVely to her. Very earn
Cathy and gently be spoke, beseeching her to
open all her heart to him, and to tell him if
any other image had ever displaced his. And
Madge listened to him thoughtfully, and ann.
lyzed her own emotion, and finally answered
him.
"If ho had come first I should have . loved
Theo desperately ; as it was, I didn't dare let.
myself. You're not afraid, are you."
"Only for your happiness, my poorchild,"
he said, " not for my own honor,"
"I like you so much, you know," she said,
energetically—" It dues seem so hard that 0.. e
can't express all one's little gradations of feel
log in words—l like you so much—but it's
dark to me now without him," she added,
with a sudden passion that carried her out of
herself, and convinced hint that she could
never be his wife.
"Ile is the younger man—and you are
right." Ile tried to say it calmly, but it was
an awful blow ; and again, ns the strength of
his manhood was shaken, Madge wavered,
and strove to comfort him.
" Let things go on and 1 shall forget hicti,or
grow indifferent to him ; I know myself—l
shnll live it clown."
" You need not, poor child, for he low s you
too."
"Yes, I know that," she answered with the
reckless openness that rnade her what she
was.
After that, so much of the world as knew
the Blighs and Dundees had a fresh and de•
lightful source of wonderment for . a time. The
marriage between•the owner of the Chase and
Madge was broken off,, and still they were
friendly: and still neither would listen to one
Word agninst or comment on the conduct of the
other. Time would tell, people said sapient
ly, reserving their belief as to what time would
trill to themselves.
'ix months passed, and then Theo Bligh
receives those letters of which mention has
been made. One was from Madge, and con•
tamed words:.
"Your uncleTh promised to explain every
thing. I need only say that I shall always be
your faithful friend, Madge Dundee."
The other was from his uncle, and contain
ed a free fotgiveness, (this was only implied,
not coarsely volunteered,) and a full account.
"Come back and win what I have lost, and
as I love you as my son, so will I love her as
my daughter : r That was something like an
invitation from a defeated to a successful lover!
Once more fate was against things righting
themselves in the clear and good way that
was made so open. Then had by this time
taken a situation In a mercantile house in New
York—a situation of trust, which he could not
hastily quit, or place another man in rashly.
Great interests were involved in it, which he
could not endanger by his absence for a year,
at least. But life was bright to him again,
and he bore the delay bravely, having illimita
ble faith In the girl he loved and himself.
Had she not gallantly won this faith by avow

now. The steamer was a fast one, and in a
fortnight he was down at the Chase, grasping
his uncle's hand.
"And now you know what my next move
will be," he said, when' the greetings were
over, subduing his own gladness as much as
he could, out of respect for the sorrow by
which his uncle had bought it. "What is the

in the kind cordial face that was bent on him.
"You know I have come to ask her to be my

About three o'clock Saturday afternoon, it
young man named Stewart, employed in the
laboratory and wind. tide dint store of Fred
erick Stearn., at 89 no iward avenue, was
instructed to entry into the basement a box
containing tuelve b;ml,4 of rhigolene,
fluid used by dettnsts, and which quickly
explodes when brought into contact with
flame. In descending the stairs the young
man mode n misstep, it is supposed, as he
dropped the box on the stairs, and the next
moment the whole basement was a sheet of
(loin. It was not an explosion, as powder or
steam explodes, but it was
A TERRIBLE HISS,
a noise which was heard a block away. The
vapor, of the rhlgolene reached the flames un
der the steam boiler In the basement, and a
sheet of flame covered everything and rolled
up the stairs as if a mine had been sprung.
One of the employes was at the head of the
basement stairs when the box dropped, and
he bad no time to turn away before

crackling noise, and he had only time to leap
out doors when theAdunes swept up the stairs,
up, up, and in less than two minutes were in
the laboratory in the fourth story.
Some one ran and gave the alarm from the
box at the corner, and three teamsters were on
hand within five minutes, and the great clouds
of black smoke pouring out brought hundreds
of people to the spot. As the flames burst out
of the rear and front of the long building al
most at the same moment, the firemen wire
puzzled for a momerh how to divide their
force. As the ladders wer.3 being taken from

lie made the jump, and cheers an I shouts
greebd •the act. Green sustained quite severe
Injuries to his feet and legs, but will not be
crippled.
Green had hardly been carried off before
another employe, named Mace, appeared at
third.story window, a cloud of flame close
after him, and he leaned far ont'and held by
ffie sash to escape the heat and smoke. 'lle
saw that the firemen would have a ladth r to
him In a moment, and coolly waited until it
came.
=1
The smoke was now leaping from front and
rear and the water from the steamers was aid
ing to make the volume of smoke denser and
blacker, when a groan was uttered by the hun-
Orcos of men looking up. A man in his shirt
sleeves made his appearance at the front win•
dow in the fourth story, with the flames above
and below him, and he acted as if determined
to leap down. " Don't jump—for heaven's
sake, hold on I" shouted live hundred men,
and they waved their hats and hands in hopes
to add emphasis to their words.
The man, whose name is Lodge, heard the
shouts, and as the smoke parted for a moment,
he saw the firemen splicing a ladder. The
flumes were scorching his hack, the smoke was
stifling him, but he hung to the sash, leaned
out over the dizzy height, and waited. The
first splice was too short, and a shudder went
through the crowd as the firemen took the
ladder down to put on another. " Hold on !
hold on I don't jump!" was the constant shout,
and then the ladder went up again. The end
struck at.the man's feet, he stink down and
grasped it, and the next moment came
DOWN THROUGH. THE SMOKE AND FIRE
to the pavement, amid shouts which were
heard half a mile away. Mr. Stearns, two
you ig women, and two or three men were
employed In the laboratory on the fourth floor
when the flames caught. They hI and the loud
hiss, but had scarcely time to pass a word of
comment when the flames shot up through the
floor. 'Retreat by way of the staircase was im•
possible, and Mr. Stearns shouted for them to
make their way to the roof. After the fire
which nearly destro3ed h:s establishment early
last summer, he constructed a fire-escape to the
roof, and up this they all rushed, one of the
girls being pushed up and the other drawn up
by Mr. Stearns. Troth the roof they passed
over to the roof of No.. 91, and descended
through . the scuttle. But for the fire-escape,
sonic, if not every one on the fourth floor
wou'd have lost their lives. ,
THREE MEN IN TILE FIAME9
As soon as Mr. Stearns could reach the
street, ho immediately began searching for
his employes; to see if any lives had been lost
and it was soon ascerluined that three of the
men had undoubtedly perished. Patrick Mc
Namara. porter and engineer, was in the base
ment attending to his duties, assisted by a
young man, named Alfred Boeninghausen.
The young man, Demi Stewart, was last
seen on the stairs, and it was soon known
that not one of the three bed escaped. The
statement of the man Joseph, who stood at the
head of the stairs, was sufficient to show that
the poor victims had met and awful death
even before the alarm was sounded.
The crowd was wild with excitement, and,
forgetting that a quarter of an hour had pass.
ed since the flames appeared, a rush was made
fir the window gratings in front and rear.
Axes, hammers, crowbars—anything which
could be seized upon—was used to force up
the gratings, but the work had not been ac•
complished when great sheets of flume rolled
out and •trove the men away. They say that
the bodies must have burned to a crisp long
beffire, and no further efforts were made.
The firemen went at their work systemati
cally and determinedly. Ladders were mist d
to the various stories, front and rear; hose
were taken up end streams poured in, and four
steamers worked their brat to quench the
flames. But the oils, chemicals and other
combustible articles kept catching fire and ex•
plodlne, and, when the flames were conquered
one floor, they burst out above or below, and
water had lout little eff.ct.
An hour went by, and then another, and an
other, and it was nearly six o'clock before the
flames let go of the upper stories and were
confined to the basement. There were large
quantities of whale oil, turpentine, chemicals,
acids, and other such articles in the basement,
and for two or three hours longer, until the
cellar was nearly full of water, the flames kept
shooting,up and destroying whatever would
burn.
FIEDINO TILE EDDIES
About haltpast 7 o'clock the, [lanes were
sufficiently extinguished to permit the firemen
to descend iffilugh the front gates. They had
not been down long before word was passed
up that the bodies were all floating under the
sidewalk. In a moment more, word was given
that there were four bodies, Instead of only
three, as had been for several hours supposed,
and there was Intense excitement to know the
names of the four victims.
Doeuinghansen's body was the first ono
brought out, and was taken into Nall's store
and laid on the counter. The clothing was
not' ven scorched, and the blackened face told
that the boy had met his death by suffocation
alone. He had apparently fallen to the floor,
stretched himself out, and died without much
struggling or suffering.
McNamara's body Came next, and it pre•
seated a most horrible sight. The hands were
tightly clasped,•as If in prayer or great agony,
and there was hardly a spot where the body
had escaped the flames. The face was crisped
and burned, the knees were drawn up and
shriveled, and the flesh burned front the
arms.
Stewart's body wits next brought in, and
there was everything to show that he died of
suffocation. Not a scratch or burn appeared
on the body, or its clothing, and the poor boy
looked as if death had come without pain.
On!) , a few days ago his father was stricken
with disease and died, and lids new grief will
rest heavy on the hearts of family and friends.
THE FOURTH BODY
was brought in at length and deposit 2d nn the
long counter, and for some time no one could
recognlzg it. The dames had spared form
and clothes, as with two others, and the two
score of own in the store drew back and waited
At length an old man half frantic with fear
and excitement was admitted, and he at once
rushed to the body. He c, old not recognize
the features as those of his son, though he
looked again and again, and he was turning
away with a great burden lifted from his
heart, when a thought suddenly came to him.
Ile rushed back, threw off the sheil, rolled up
one of the pants legs until he could se4 the
boot top, and then he fell back with a shriek
and a groan which brought hears to many
eyes. Ile had made the hails for his son, and
some mark enabled him to recognize them.
For some moments lie
WAILED AND 5 BISI.n LINE A CHILD,
and the sight of the gray.headed old man,
wringing his hands in anguish, sent more than
one from the store. The name of the boy was
Henry Geiger, his age about 18, and his home
was on Catharine street. lie was the order
clerk.
Mr. Sterns had a stock in store amounting
to about $05,000. He says his Insurance
amounts to $40,000. The damage to the
store will amount to $3,000 or $4,000 more.
Nall's stock was somewhat damaged by smoke
and water but not sufficient to delay business.;
HANDWRI7'INI4 AND CRIME
Of late years a new mid curious profission
has come into vogue, that of " experts" in
handwriting. These gentlemen's services have
for some time been repeatedly called in requ( st
it England, esecially In disputed will cases,
but they seldom made much impression either
on judge or jury until there arose a master in
the craft, Mr. Chabot. It was through n case
whleh occurred a few years since In the Lon.
don Probate Court that this gentleman was
brought into the first rank of his very limited
profession, of which a Mr. Netlierclift had up
to that time been the chief.
The ground of dispute was in relation to
the will of a wealthy old yeoman. One side
claimed that the will was genuine, the other
that it was n forgery. When the turn came
for Mr. Chabot's ( vidence to be given, the
counsel for the will gave a contemptuous smile
as the expert ascended the box, apd my load
leaned back in his chair in a, manner which
indicated I know how much this sort of
testimony is worth."
By degrees, however, matters underivent
change. Counsel against the will became par
ticularly assured in his bearing. Counsel for
the will fhlgeted in his seat, and, what was
more important, my lord aroused himself and
began to take notes. When Mr. Chabot de
scended from the witness-box he had br.•ken
the will. The judge, in summing up, said
that he must confess that previous experience
had not disposed him to place meek reliance
on testimony of this description, but the pr's•
eit case was an exception. Mr. Chabot's evi ;
deuce was certainly most remarkable.
The point to which the accomplished gen
tleman drew special attention was the fact
tint he had examined page after page of writ
ing which was admitted by either side to be
that of the deceased, and In no case had he
found the vowel "0" connected with the
other letters in the word In which it occurred;
whereas, In the document alleged to be forged,
"O" sometimes stood alone, sometimes was
jcined on to .the neighboring letters.
Mr. Chabot's services are now in constant
demand, and he ought to lie making a very
large income. The Tichborne case must alone
have put a great ninny pounds ini his reket.
Quite recently he has been employed in tiro
notable stilts. One of tins,—" Firebrace vs.
Firebrace"—is a divorce case. A maid ser
vant, as often happens in such suits, is a profit
.
inept witness. She, It appears, kept It diary,
In which she recorded suspiciouscircumstauces
in her mistress' conduct.
This diary the mistress got hold of, and, the
servant alleges, interpolated passages which
reflect sadly on the morality of 'the servant
herself, and are thus calculated to weaken the
effect.of her evidence against Mrs. Firebrace.
Mr. chai)! is of opinion that the alleged inter
polations are not in the handwritinz of the
servant.
The other CRSC ,WIIS 0110 of libel, In which a
lady named DiHa WWI plaintiff and a Mr.
Shepherd defendant. In January, 1870, a
Mr. Ilirket, to whose son the plaintiff was
engaged, received a letter, imputing to her
improp. r conduct. On the 11th of February.
Valentine's day, plaintiff herself rec2lved two
letters, one containing sonic indecent verse's,
and the other some lines Cann Chaucer. The
experti differed strongly in regard to the sim
ilarity of the writing with that of Mr. Shop
herd.
In summing up, the Lord Chief Justice
pointed out that the great merit of Mr. Chabot
in such cases was that he gave cogent reasons
for his conclusions, and was not content
merely to state that he was Of such 1111 d such
an opinion. The Jury found for the tb•yend 7
ant. Mr. Chabot lately brought his ingenuity
to hear upon the vexed question of Junius,
and has helped to strengthen the already over
whelming evidence in favor of fir Philip
Francis's authorship of the famous letters.
FItANCE, like Englund, says "Once a Week,"
may, we suppose, be diVided into the Wise
and the Foolish. The former are occupied
incessantly in trying to discover the causes of
defeat, the latter in finding ex:uses for It.
Among the wise men, M. Jolly lies read a
paper before the Academy of `Medicine, in
which the substance of his remarks are as fol

drunkards cannot be cured ; all, or nearly all,
die, whilst sober individuals with graver in
juries readily recover. France," rays Dr.
Jolly, "has cast off all restraint. She has
found It simpler and easier to poison herself

objection that can be raised to Its disadvantage.

Devoutest of my Sunday friends,

I see his figure sink and rise,
(Forgive me, Heaven, my wandering eyes!)
A moment lost, the twxt half seen,
Ills head above the minty screen,
Still measuring out hie deep salaams
Through quavering hymns and panting psalms
No priest that prays In gilded stole,
To save a rich man's mortgaged soul ;
No sister, fresh from holy vows,—
So humbly stoops, so meekly bows ;
Ills large obeisance puts to shame •
The proudest genuflecting dame,
Whose Easter bonnet low descends
With all the grace devotion lends.

Ilow much we owe those bows of thine !
Without thine arm to lend the 'breeze,
How vain the finger on the keys
Though ail unmatched the player's skill,
Those thousand thro to were dumb and still.

The breath that fills it Is thine own.
Six days the silent Memnon waits .
Behind his temple's folded gates ; oto

Through rainbowed windows on the wa}l,

MA RN TWAIN tells a capital story. Here is
,one of his hest; One day when I and my
brother went into the woods, he shot a chicken
hawk and a crow, and while lolling in the
shale under a tree, he pulled the tails out of
the birds, and then fooling round and talking
lie finally built the crow's tall into thechicken
hawk's transom. When we saw what a neat
job it was, we thought we would keep it.,
When we got home we were late for supper,
an I w no just dropped it turtle pain and rushed
in. We had a sort of a meal:frig hope that
the old man and our uncle would get bit with
it anyway, because 'they were always potter
ing over geology or natural history, or some
tiling they came along and found the bird,
and we braid them discussing it and talking
all kinds astonishment. Directly the old man
came in, having the bird by the leg, and said:
"130 s a, where did you set this bird?" "Shot
him in the woods, sir." "Did you ever come
across any other birds like this, here?" No,
sir, this is the first." "Boys, do you know
what you have dune 1 You have discove ed
something that will make you 'known every
where. The bird is a new species." And
lie walked out, and we heard him and uncle
conclude tl.at they would label it with their
own nemee, and send it to Professor Hagen
haunt, at Albany. Pretty soon, though,lhe
old num took held of the tail and pulled . it out
and w e heard both of them swear a little.
Whi n we came out the bird .was lying on
one side of the fence and the tailon the other.
We did not dare to laugh, nor to let on abaut
overhearing their bilk, either. But about a
menth after this, there came along one of the
saltiest specimens of a boy you ever saw, and
wanted to stay with us. Ile was all rage and
tatters, and tired out with running away from
his master somewhere. his shirt was hang
ing at half mast through his troweers, and
twit thirds of the tail of it was a piece of blue
flannel that had been sewed on. While the
poor fellow was eating his dinner, uncle and
the old man were studying what they had
better do with him. And finally they said:
"By George ! they did not know what to do
with him." Just then the boy rose and swung
his colors into view, and brother Bob sale:
"Father, you might send him to Professor
Ilagentmin, at Alginy." If was the first
time the old man knew we had overlumd the
talk, and so lie whaled us both. Ho said:
"I will learn you to play j Ikea on your ()Id

lira al Treatment of a Child
A shocking case of brutality has corn% to
light at Adrian, Michigan. It appears that
Mrs. Louisa Lowing, who had in charge her
nirce, a little girl named Emma Lowing, beat
the child in a horrible manner because she
could not eat fast enough at the table to please
her aunt. In her testimony before the Justice
of the peace the child says : "On Monday of
last week I got upend my aunt was real cross;
she scolded because I did not eat breakfast
faster ; I was eating akfaStACJl,C,9,9ld.C z *.g.
said she would feed mo if I did not eat faster ;
as soon as Uncle William left she commenced
feeding me, taking a large piece of bread and
forcing it into my mouth ;. I Chewed as fast as
I could, and she•eald she would whip me.if I
did not eat faster ; I could not eat faster, and
she took me into the bedroom, stripped me
and whipped me with a whip about as big as
your finger; front 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 she choked
me ; then she whipped me again, and at last,
when I could not keep still, she put a towel
into my mouth ; she had me in the bedroom
about an hour I should think, and struck me,
I should think, about two hundred blows.
After site teed •got thteugh whipping me I
went back to the table, and she made me eat.
a great deal more than I wanted ; did not
want to eat anything; site made me eat about
enough for four or five meals at that one time;
I kept asking her to let me stop, and she said
she Would not stop •until I had commenced
eating fast ; the loaves were large loaves of
baker's bread, and. the slices were thick ; she
would not let me drink anything.''
Several witnesses testified its to the brutality
of the treatment which the girl hail received,
and it was shown that in addition to the hor
rible punishment of cramming, red pepper
had often been forced int , her eyes and mouth.
The perpetrator of the outrage was sentenced
to pay ti One of $lOO and confinement 'in the
troit House of Correction for ninety days.
A Cincinnati paper says that In the present •
condition of the Ohio, a small and very flee
strainer, worn inside the mouth, may be of
service in preventing death by Dtrangulation.
Mrs. Partington entered the office of the
Probate Judge (called " and b.
quired In her blandest tope " Aro you the
civil villain ?" "Do you wish to insult me,
madam I" said the Judge. "Yee,!' replied
the amiable old lady ; "my brother died de
tested, and left three infidel children, and I'm
to be their executioner ; so I want to Insult
the civil villain about it." .
