RAZOR AND A BUTCHER-KNIFE. A GRUBBTOWN MAN SEVERS HIS WIND I'IPE. The Ghastly sight That Met the (lara of a Nurae—The Patient's Throat Cut Prom Ear to Ear aatl the Blood Standing In Pools on the Bed—A Case of Most Re markable Vitality—The Man Will Prob ably Recover, Grubbtown comes to the front with a most remarkable case of attempted sui cide, the particulars about which ore as follows ; On Saturday morning Dr. W. E. Matthews was called to attend a young man, Eugene Graham, aged about 'twenty three, who boards with Mr. Daniel Luther, Grubbtown. The young man was suffering of an attack of penuinouia and was very bad. In the evening Dr. Matthews again visited his patient and found him no better, but somewhat delirious, and recommended that the patient have a nurse to stay with him during the night. The recommendation was carried out. About 3 o'clock the nurse fell asleep, the patient having told iiim that there was no use in his remaining awake all night. Twenty-live miuutcs later the nurse awoke to find the patient breathing in a very peculiar manner, lie sprang to the bedside and was horror-stricken to see the man's throat cut from ear to ear. The windpipe WHS severed and both ends protruded, while blood was smeared over all the clothing and had run through the mattress on the floor. The man was lying nn his buck with his head thiown away back, exhibiting the whole wound. He was breathing a Utile, the air in its pas sage through the severed windpipe, caus ing the blood to spurt and gurgle afterthe manner of a slaughtered animal. Dr. Matthews was again summoned in great haste. When he arrived he thought the man was dying, but administered a stimulant. This somewhat revived the patient, who after a while regained con sciousness, and seemed to realize his sit uation. I)r. Matthews went to wor':, after examining the wound, to sew it up. hoping to be able to save the man's life, although the cast see.ued a hopeless one. It was found that in addition to cutting the trachea, several large veins and ur tenes had been severed, causing a great quantity of blood to be lost. Au hour was required to sew up the cut, it being necessary to sew together the windpipe, the cartilages and other parts besides the skin. As the oesophagus was not severed the man was able to swallow, lie became entirely conscious and rational and could alter it was all over, write and tell his at tends what he wanted. It is wondei ful that the great loss of blood did not kill him. He could al-o indicate Lis wants by motions, signifying to his nurse to put two pillows under his head instead of one. He could diseernly smell when whisky was offered him in milk, anil shook his head negatively, but the milk alone lie drunk freely. During the tweatv-live minutes during which llie nurse slept, Or hum had be come delirious and had gone to tin kitchen and procured a butcher's knife in one cupboard and from the top of auothc one acoss the room lie had got a ruzot. While in the kitchen lie began the work, for there were several large pools of bloon in various parts of it. He must have completed tiic job after returning to bed. for butcher knife and razor were found in the bed with him. Three distinct cuts wore on 01 e side and two oil the other. There had also been some miscellaneous haggling, mak ing it one of the most ghastly sights that could he looked upon. Dr. Matthews visited his patient again yesterday evening and repoits him doing well. The pneumonia seemo much bctlei and the neck, lie says, looks us well as could be expected. Oa the whole it seems to be one of the host remarkable of cases, and should tin mtn recover, as there is a chance of his dong, it will certainly he considered a featpf surgery.

Death in the llluckcliapel Dlatrint—A True Story from the Tenement* of the West 6ide in New York City—"We Have Done What We Con hi." A bit of crape, hanging side by side with a strip of satin ribbon which had once been white, but was now discolored by constant use, swung idly from the tack which held it in place at the en trance to one of the tall tenements on the west 6ido. It is in the district known as Blackchapcl, and all the houses there about are occupied by colored folks. There is always a pathos about ascrap of crape at the door, especially if the griui announcement is hung out for a child. But Die lean legged and woolly headed black children who were playing shinny in the street were too young to allow their sport to be interrupted by the presence of death. "ONLY SAHAIi'S LITTLE BOY." , If any one had asked the stout negress who lolled at the door, they would have been answered with: "Oneiey Mis' Sarah Jackson's little boy. An' it's de Lawd's bressin' he gone, kase he's bin ailin' eb ber sence lie was bawn. Wliar does she lib? Up on de top flo', in de reah. Yo' cawn't miss it. Jess knock hard on de do', kase Miss Jackson may be sorrowin' like, on 'count ov it bein' her Johnnie." And then, if one had followed her di rection, he would have wondered if there never would be any end to the bare, steep flights of dirty stairs, with the too brief landings, and the musty, dark halls, and the black, woolly beads thrust out of half open doors in a spirit of youthful in quiry. But there is an end to all things, and at last the top is reached. It is lighter here, and the air seeniß a little more wholesome, although the same musty smell of crowded quarters is to he no ticed. A ladder leads up to a hole in the roof, and the sun sends a slanting ray down through the aperture. The block of sunlight strikes the entrance to one of the three doors on the landing, and has only the effect of bringing out in greater relief the worn pine boards half hidden by an accumulation of dirt. It is very quiet on this floor, so quiet than when the visitor listened he could hear a sound of sobbing, and then a low voice crooning words of comfort. A knock at the door brings the answer: "Come in." The room is not more than twelve feet square, and is considered a large room for a tenement. But tho question of accommodations is not taken into consideration now. There are two persons in the room. An old woman, whose tears made shining tracks upon her black skin, was bending over a young woman who rocked to and fro in an old chair, sobbing and moaning Cor her baby. The room was uncarpeted and miserable. Bags and wads of paper ituek loosely in tlie holes in tho broken window panes helped to give an inde scribable aspect of desolation to the room. Upon the only table in the room, its attenuated form wrapped in an old red shawl, ragged and threadbare, was the dead baby. Its little black face, tinged with a grayish line, was turned up to ward tho cracked ceiling, and the lids hardly concealed the dull white of the eyes. The babe bad been dead since the day before, and the mother was too poor to nury it. Her husband was away some where. He had deserted her months be fore, so she need not expect him in her hour of trouble. "THE LA WD WILL PERVIDE." As she rocked the door creaked on its hinges and an old negro entered. He was lame, and made his way carefully along with a cane. A high hat that had seen years of hard service rested on a fringe of grayish wool which covered the back of his head, and n bandanna handkerchief made a picturesque substitute for both collar and cravat. "Ilullo, Jack, yo' back agen?" said the old woman. "Sairy's bin taken on pow erf'l scnce yo's bin gone, an' she mos' cried lier eyes out. Did yo' git enny money?" "No, an' I'se done clean pestered out, a-trainjiin' and a-trampin'. What wid de rheumatics and de sorror'bout, Jacky, 1 ain't mahself." "Uncle Jack," said the young woman, jumping up, "I'll jes'ask yor tor go to one moult place fur do money. Jus' one tnoah. I'se done wasliin' fur dis lady, and inebbe slie help me." "Come, come, gal," said the old man; "I'se doin' all 1 can fer yer, but the good Lawd will pervide. Jes 1 jiut j-o' trus' on him." "1 know, Uncle Jack, I know dat; but we mus' do somethiu'," she said. With unsteady hand she wrote a noto in a cramped hand on the back of a gro cery bill, the only piece of paper there was in the house. The paper was blis tered with her tears. MRS. REED- Would you please to help me a little, i am sorry to ask you, but my Baby died yester day ot noon, with the Brown-keetera and the gua tar in the throat. We have done what we could. I have been sick myself and tho little earning i bad saved i had to pay out for inedein. lam not feeling welL From SARAH JACKSON. Uncle Jack hobbled out of the door and down the stairs. He had to go a long distance, and when he came back a gen tleman came with liint. He had come in answer to the letter and to see the dead baby was buried decently. Not long ago his own baby had died, arid when lie stood by the table and saw by the light of the one lainp in the room the face of the little dead baby lie broke down and wept. His tears mingled with those of tho poor black folks about. A common grief bad torn away the barrier of race, color and station, and lie was as sincere a mourner as old Uncle Jack, who stood with bowed head near him. And as the old bandanna ncckprcliief seemed to grow tighter and tighter arounJ his throat lie said: "I knew de Lawd would pervide, Sairy, I knew it, chile, kase he allprs does."— New York Sun. DAWN IN AN ITALIAN GARDEN. The pearl robed morning shook her garments free; In an old garden sown with eglantine. Faint odors of the white and saffron rose Made delicate delight, though breeze was none; And pulsing coolness, gleam of summer dawn. Stole like a spirit through the ilex shade Where starlight wamlered with the glow wona lamp, Though penciled rays shot from the hidden sun. Set the air trembling with a sense of bliss. And every black recess melted to gray Soft leafage shot witli rose and plumy gold. Thinned where tho branches touched the pallid sky, Invites tho bird to rise on rested wing And send his love note in a ruffled song To the mate's drowsy ear, where warm the nest Lies under blossoms dripping silver dew The cypress holds its warning finger high And whispers, "Breathe not now lest the spell break. And the earth tranced In beauty, drugged with sleep, Arouse itself to ancient pain and loss:' But us the pale blurred morning turned to gold. There started from the shade of hoary trees Half moldercd statues round a hoary fount- Like harlequin tossing a crystal plume. A muse with brows august and tragic mask. Laocoon enwreathed in snaky folds, And the great archer with his lifted dart Aimed at the breast of hapless Nlobe; And then the magic of the dawn was fled. And day put on its old relentless face. —Boston Transcript Actor Sothern's Rebuke. An old lady, laden with bundles, stood in the aisle, weary and almost ill with fatigue. Close by her sat a big brute, spread out comfortably and complacent ly over the space that two people could easily occupy and refusing to budge an inch when the lady mildly looked with longing eyes upon the seat. Everybody glared at him, but he took no notice of that; there were muttered words of dis approval, but he paid no attention to those. At last Mr. Sothern, with one of those Lord Cliumley stares, so full of in nocence and simple good nature, leaned over from the strap on which he hung and in a very audible stage whisper in quired; "Excuse me, s-s-sir, but would you kindly t-t-tell me what k-kind of nerve tonic you use?" Even the roar of laughter which followed in the car did not bring a wrinkle to the mildly beam ing face of Lord Chumley, but it did make the old hog leave his seat and the car.—Exchange. Tolling a for a I>*U<l Dog. The citizens of Woodrulf, S. C., wore startled by the tolling of the Baptist church bell, and upon inquiry could not learn the cause of it. Various rumors were set afloat as to why it should be rung, but no one could give a satisfac tory reason. After hesitating a good while some one. with more nerve than the others, entered the belfry and found a young white boy, named James Dar win, tolling away as solemnly as the sex ton would for a funeral. He was asked why he was doing so, and his reply was: "That his father's dog had just died, and ho had instructed him to go and toll the bell to announce the sad news to the citi zens of the town."—New York Commer cial Advertiser. Avoid tl Danger of Fire. Drafts, flues and the chimney should be cleaned at least four times a year. Consult your insurance policy: read care fully and fulfill all the conditions. See if your chimney -is up to the required standard, and that the stove is far enough from the wall. Know that 110 sparks can escape any place, especially where the pipe enters the chimney. It will pay. Have your fire safe! Insurance money is hard enough to get when all the con ditions have been justly complied with. It is terrible to burn out!

Babcock is a very hon est looking young gentleman, and yet he was twice taken for a thief and once for a dead beat. Mr. Babcock went into a restaurant on Third street and deposited his umbrella in the rack and hung his black Derby hat ou a nickel plated hat hook. When the disciple of Blackstone had finished his repast lie walked over to the wall and took what he supposed was his hat, put it on and started toward the counter to pay for his breakfast. An athletic looking gentleman, who was eating his morning repast and watch ing his portable property, roared out; "Come back here, sir, and leave my hat." All the ladies and gentlemen in the restaurant watched Mr. Babcock as he replaced the hat and took his own. The young lawyer was as mad as a hor net and somewhat confused at the con tretemps. Then he waiked over to the umbrella rack and picked up an um brella. The observant gentleman whose hat Mr. Babcock had taken noticed that it was his umbrella that was being carried off, and lie shouted in stentorian tones: "Drop that umbrella or I'll hand you over to the police." Mr. Babcock saw that he had made a second mistake, and soon fished his own rain shedder from among the many others that were in the rack. Then ho left the restaurant, and he was called back by tiie cashier, who came to the door and excitedly said: "Hadn't you better come back and pay for your breakfast? You will at least avoid being handed over to the police." As ho still had his check for a fifty cent breakfast in his hand, Mr. Bab cock walked back and paid his bill, with the eyes of every lady and gentleman in the place fixed suspiciously upon him. One elderly lady audibly remarked: "He don't look like a thief, hut you can't tell by looks nowadays what a person is, as good clothes don't cost much."—Seat tle Press. Willi the Tongs. A great deal of laughter has been ex pended on womankind for taking the broom as a weapon in "shooing" an enemy, but, after all, why should not one use the implement to which she is most accustomed? Great execution is possible with the weapon of our choice, as an English lady, living in Canada, lias proved. She was one day greatly interested in putting out the family washing to dry. Sheets and tablecloths were on the line, which, to her horror, suddenly fell, dropping her spotless clothes in the dirt. A large buck, caught by the antlers, was the cause of the trouble. There was not a man within five miles—they had all gone to a neighbor's for the day. The deer plunged about, and the lady scream ed. Something had to be done, and done at once. There was a fine gun in the house, loaded, but the lady would not ap proach it, as firearms were her especial dread. Among her many possessions she had a large pair of tongs. She thoroughly understood this firearm, and with all her housewifely instincts outraged, she seized them and began the attack. Within live minutes the buck's skull was pounded to a jelly, and then the vic tor, her clothing slightly torn, sat down and indulged in a good cry.—Forest and Stream. Trout ami Superst it ion. The trout is derived from a word mean ing to eat, just as salmon from one mean ing to leap. The former fish has acquired some celebrity in folk medicine. Thus it is a superstition of Shropshire that a pie dish full of cider should bo taken down to a river and a good sized trout caught and drowned in the cider, would a per son recover from the whooping cough. Trout and cider were then to be carefully carried buck to the house, and the sick person must cat the trout after it has been fried and drink the cider. In North umberland for the samu ailment a trout's head is put into the mouth of the suf ferer, and. as it is said, the trout is left to breathe in the patient's mouth. Still more curiously, Mr. Henderson relates that a friend, when fishing in Cleveland, was asked by a peasant to give him a "wick" (live) trout to lay 011 the stomach of one of his children who was much troubled with worms, a trout so applied being a certain cure for the complaint.— Gentleman's Magazine. N no Tailors Make a Man. Everybody has heard of the saying that it takes nine tailors to make a man. and the general supposition is that it re flects upon tailors in some indefinite man ner, and no one knows where the saying originated. Now, the truth is that the saying is misquoted, and the proper word is tailers, or tellers, not tailors, as often written, and its origin can be traced back several centuries. It was one of the customs when a per son died in tile parish to toll the church bell once for every year of the deceased's life. But nobody from this could tell the sex of the departed, so the sexton, to gratify public curiosity, after ringing in the usual way the number of years, would give eight quick strokes if the de ceased was a woman and nine if it was a man. This being rung at the end of the strokes for the years were called tailers, and thus nine tailers made a man.— Golden Days. (JiMlerMtood the Case.

DKATH OF JOHN A. CAMPBELL. Tlie End Cume WediieMty Morning at 8 O'clock. Wednesday morning abom 8 o'olock Mr. John A. Campbell, only son and only sur vivingchlld of County Commissioner John Campbell, died at his residence ut No. 418 Third street, Thirteenth ward, Peclor ville. The cause of Mr. Campbell's death was lung troubles, induced by the grip, which attacked him some months ago. The death of Mr. Campbell leaves his aged parents childless, as their daughter and only other child, Mrs. William Wehn, was drowned in the flood. The deceased was born and brought up in Conemaugh borough. Years ago he worked with Michael Murphy and Nich olas Carroll, who kept a store in the old Merchants' Hotel building. He afterward worked with John J. Murphy in a store where Dibert's new buiidiug stands. Later he was employed for a leng time in the vegetable department of the Cumbria Iron Company's store. Mr. Campbell was married about three years ago to a Miss Rodeu, who, with one child, a daughter, survives him. His age was about thirty-seven years. Camped oil a Volcano. A special dispatcli from tiie City of Mexico states that William 11. Richard son, the young Boston naturalist, lias fin ished his work in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and on the active volcano of Coliina, where lie has been cauiped for the last two months. From the extreme summit of the Sierra Nevada lie could look down into the crater of the volcano. There wese every live hours or more signs of activity, great clouds of vapor, gas and ashes coming up with magnifi cent effect and rising to a tremendous height. But from the Sierra Nevada no sound could be heard. Richardson, being determined to in vestigate nearer at hand, moved his camp to the side of the volcano at great per sonal risk, pitching his tent at tiie upper line of pine trees and just below the lower lines of ashes and lava. From thin point Richardson and his Indian follow ers could hear the sounds of the volcano. One night during the eruption they could distinctly see the deep red glow of molten lava as it ran down the mountain, Richardson was regarded by the natives as phenomenally during, but his expe dition resulted in no harm to himself or to his party. —Boston Cor. New York Herald. The Muscle Shoals Canal. The obstruction known as the Muscle Shoals, in the Tennessee river, which covered about 23 miles out of the 453 lw tween Chattanooga and Paducah, at its mouth, are at length overcome by means of locks and dams built by the general government, and the river is now open so that boats loaded at New Orleans can at all times proceed to Chattanooga, and most of the time to Knoxville. The dis tance from Chattanooga to New Orleans is 1,601 miles, as against 2,0G7 from Pitts burg and 1,507 from Cincinnati, and it is claimed the coal freights from Chatta nooga to New Orleans will be between 60 and 00 cents, us against $1.05 from Pittsburg. The improvement of this short piece of the river has been more or less under construction for sixty years.— New Y'ork Telegram. Thieving in China. According to a Chinese story a miser had three sons-in-law; one was a tailor, another a jeweler, and the third a spend thrift, who did nothing at all. One day the miser called his third son-in-law and said to him: "See here! Your two brothers-in-law are thrifty men. and are gradually add ing to the family fortune; the tailor, by cabbaging a little of his customers' cloth now and then, you know—bless you, they don't know it!—and the jeweler by —well, by debasing the jewelry just a little, don't you see. But you!" exclaimed the miser, "what do you do?" "Father-in-law," said the ne'er-do well, "you say well. Give me a crow bar; I will go out, and, watching my chance, I will break in merchants' doors, open their tills, and bring you back thousands of pieces of silver where my brothers-in-law bring you only paltry gains." "What! How?" exclaimed the miser, in terrible anger; "can it be possible that you would actually be a tliief?"— Boston Herald. Making Pin* and Needle*. Metal pins were introduced into Eng land from France in 1543. Within a short time after machines were con structed in England for the manufacture of pins. "Previously they had been (iled to a point and the head had been soldered by hand. Great opposition was made to the novelty," says Felkin, "but utility and cheapness prevailed in its favor. The common sewing needle was brought hither from India after the discovery of the route by the Capo of Good Hope. Before that time sewing was performed In the method still used by shoemakers." Self Control. When you step on a loose brick and an ice cohl stream of mud shoots up to your collar button, don't say any naughty words. Smile pleasantly and explain to the grinning people about you that you don't mind little things like that. They will then admire you and depart won dering whether your wings will sprout on this earth or wait until you join the silent majority.—Greensbueg (S. C.) Ar gus. Making Poets. The secret is out. Indiana poets are not born but made, says The Chicago Inter-Ocean. The teacher in the Indian apolis high school has issued an order that every pupil must write poetry and hand in poems on certain prescribed days. There is no evasion of the order. The muse must be captured and brought into the school room. It seems that Miss Anderson, the teacher who issued the order, lias been in the high school for over twenty years, and that the majority of the "Indiana poets'are her graduates.
