T B E Leslie Zocat gives the following facts abont the Ingham County Mutual Fire Insurance company: The Ingham County Farmers' Mutual Insurance company Is about to issue circulars to Its members making an assessment of one and one-half mills on the dollar to cover the losses and expenses of the past year. The amount now at risk in the company, and which really stands as so much capital, is £1,638,585. Tlieie are between 800 and 900 members. This assessment of fifteen,cents on the hundred dollars will raise about #1,000 more than the lu' debiedness of the' company, bin it is to bo' ute,d in paying small losses and claims for the coming year. Since the date of the last annual report, January last, when the Indebtedness of the ci>nipanv was $716.88, the losses have been as follows: January .28,0. W, Peeks, of Onondaga, 815 ; 0 . B, Qrinnell, Lansing, 0 5 ; James Birney, $320, Certainly no one can complain that Insurance in this company is very high.

To the Editor.] Permit us to explain the unpleasant mis

understanding that obtained publicity through the columns of your last issue.

It will be obstrved that a rrquest, subscribed by 0 . S. Brown, Tanner, Sayers, Dunning, and twenty others, addressed to the officers of the reform club, osking a I'epetltion of the entertainment of Wednesday evening was pubiished in your paper. Immediately under it, and In some connection, was a response, purporting to be made by a committee of the Mason reform club, ac-ceedlng to the request, and announcing to the public that the whole .proceeds would be for tbe benfll of the reform c lub; and this response was signed, " Mason' Reform Club," >fow we, the undersigned officers of the Ladies'Temperance Society, would respectfully announce tliat the aforesaid arrangement was without our knowledge or procurement, and certain features of it we unhesitat-ingly'disapprove, v iz :

The assumed control of ibis entertainment by a committee of the reform club. We do not know who composes that committee nor do we know by what authority they undertake the management of ii, as It was inaugurated by our ladles' society, for a special purpose, and not aa stated in general terms for the benefit of the reform club.

We made arrangements with Mrs, Maggie Stewait Woodhouse to ge l up and conduct an entertainment, to consist of reading, recitations, and music, she to have one-half of the proceeds and our society to have the other half, which was to be set aside expressly for a fund with which to pay for the organ— whieh 'wehafe attempted lb do.

first term it rapidly drawing lb a close. Re-yjews are at hand, and examinations staring us in tbe face, The vacation of one week commences next Wednesday.

HEAVENLY ECHOS.

.The " Anfel o fPeaee" noveretta I.OV-iMKly 'About the Hend* of that Be* rorm Club Committee, na If to Protect Them Proih the " Wrnth to Come."

iTo the KiUor.] Through tiie columns of your p«|)er per

mit me to remind the trio who came so near 'breaking up our little dramatic ehtertaiomenl on Saturday evening last, by their officious and unwarranted Intermeddling, that the present enllghlenmeni and civilliiatlon of the age Inexorably imposes upon each Individual oitinen the very diffloolt and arduous re* 'sponsibility of attending particularly to his own business, and thus permitting others to go and do likewise. ,

Two of these distinguished flnaociera, who appear to have resolved themselves into a self-constituted committee to lake the management of this, entertainment out of the hands of the ladies, by whom it waa inaugurated, have practically had charge of this organ fund for over a year, and the only enduring monument they have erected commemorative of their superior floancial genius Is a bankrupt trefm-ij a»d a ruintd credit, which is clearly attested by the undltputable fact that they have never placed so much as a ten cent piece to, the credit of said fund. And now Uial the ladies have generously come to the front and voluntarily undertaken to pay for this organ,' the most Ihiporlanl service that can possibly lie rendered by this aelf-constituted commlltae, (and which comes fairly within the range of their varied'ac-. •omplishments) is a total abnegation from everything pertaining to the management of this undertaking, as their recent intcrfereoce haa clearly Illustrated the fact tbat loo many cooks are sure to spoil a broth. However, should the ladles, after a fair trial, fail to accomplish their undettaking, they would doubtless very cheerfully commit the same to'lha bands of the ciiairman of thia self-constituted committee; and especially so since he has publicly announced ' tbat if lie should advertise himself to apeak a piece, and generously prolTer the proceeds \a Hhe organ fund, the attendance would ê just as numerous and 'the receipts just as great as at the Wednesday evening dramatic entertainment, vii!: between fifty nnd sixty dollars.

Now, with this assurance, and considering his disinterested and patriotic turn of mind. It seems Impouible tbat the project can fail; and ye t to the simple-minded and uninitiated. It seems a wonder, that he did , pot speak his piece during the year of his. flhanc|al/(»«> on the organ!fund, iTet, when,mindful ,o f the fact that wise motives control the actions of great men, we must net be too inquisitive, Yoiirs, respectfully,

THE PKK8IDIiNT. What George vrilUaiii Curtis

Says of tlio l*reiildent nml > '• tiie Party.'V ;;

Last IsNue of Harper's Weekly. The Democratic papen, BMlstMl by

same Republican, are constantly informing us that the President's policy is dividing and dmtroylhg his party. Eminent Republicans are cited as ex , pressing grave doubts and shaking their heads in a most gloomy and foreboding manner. The Chairman of the Rhode Island Republican Committee, it is announced, baa been supereeded after declariuK bis adhesion to the Administration,—as if that waa the cause of the committee's action. The Republican Oonunittee of Iowa baa called the State Convention in terms which are held to be a >kind of covert challenge and deflanco of the Admln-istmtion. Conspicuous gentlemen are reported to have said tbat they are resolved "to give tiie policy a fair trial," which is certainly very generous.upon their part; and some Republican organs sorrowfully proclaim that the party is dlstip|M>lnteil. Kleanwhlle, however, the country Is evidently sat-Isiied, and there is uruiuestionably a general feeling that the political situation is very much more Ueulthful and normal tliuii itlui:» lieeii 8in(«thewur, and, of course, for iiiuny long yemx before tlic war.

We have looked in vniii for .some explanation of tlie phrase, "giving the Prcuidcnt a fair trial." it Implies tliat another coiuvu tUuii taken by him iwouid have been wiser for the Republican party, or it nieun.s notlilug, Now the old policy hud had a fair trial for some time, and what was the resiilt? The ru.sult—iiiul we are now looking at the matter \vlioliy from a party point of view—the result was.the losHof eVery Southern State but two, a piactical tie or a very close vote in those two, and a narrow escape frnni total defeat. The continuation of tlie policy would have wholly overthrown the party within two years. Therein no political fact plainer than this. Viewed partywlse, the only hope lay in a bold and vigdr-ouH change of not icy, >iot to'have made it would have been to destroy the party. How inexpressibly foolish, therefore, is the remark that the' only policy that could iwsslbly have saive'd the party shall have a fair trial! ,,Suppose that, after all, the party' should nedefcateil at the next important elections. Then it Is defeated with perfect honor, and every man who supports it will be proud of his action. Rut had the policy not been adonte<l, thcdefeat would have been certoin and the discredit inevitable.

There arc undoubtedly some honest Republicans who feel,'.'that somehow the President has "deserted tbe colored men." How bus lie deserted them? He basal! the power that be ever had. He can act ii|ion any proper occasion In Louisiana or South Carolina precisely n» in Georgia or in Alabama. His declin itig to settle a diU'or-ence in the two former States does not increase br diminish his constitutional authority to Intervene In any State. He has exactly the same power to protect the.cplored people in Soutli Carolina how thatlie had to i)rotect them in all the other Southern .States before he withdrew the troops from the State House in Columbia. If the President lias.not deserted the colored people In Georgia, he has not deserted theni in Louisiana; and aU the authority he has to enforce the amendments be will unquestionably exercise. More, tiian thai no President can do. ,,Thc Iowa' call, we observe, declares that the latertluvemuMt.be protected in iill his rlghtsj "at any cost." Tlie late slave, like every other American citizen, must be protected in all bis rights under tite Constitution and tiie laws, and In no other way; If they are inadc-

BrttlMit, Policy.

The debate on,litr. Gladstone's resolutions in the British Parliament, has brought to publjo understanding the policy of the government.; The close of the debate .brpiight oiit, iaccording to a very old custom, the leaders of the two parties. Ilh the speeches of the Marquis of Hartlngton and of Sir Staflord Northcote are to be found the germs of the,future policy of liberals and conservatives. Let us listen to what they say. The liberal leader knows that'the time is coming when the voice of Great Britain must bo heard. He holies, and believes it will be wbeti Russia proposes to make peace on the basis of the independence of the Christian pi'ovlnces,wlthout territorial aggrandi/ement to satisfy' her own ambition. But if British Interests are threatened he is ready to assent to war.' .Such we take to be the meaning of ''Lord Hartinirton's words. The bhancellor of the exchequer was forced to'be less explicit. The Suci! Canal, he M'as willing fo say, theGovernnient was resolved to protect if Great Britlan .,êrc compelled to act alone. As to other lines of connection with the East ihehadno fears. Other.governments were quite as much Interested us is Great Britlan in their protection, and tiie leader of the house left it to be inferred, without saying distinctly, tbat be relied contldentiy upon strong allies, when it should become necessary to act. Vague as.were.thc words used, they must have served to dear away many doubts, and to furnish a practical key to ths future action of the government.

The wholesttlo poisoning ot coul miiiersat Streatnr, Illinois, by striking miners, is an event that ought to attract more than local attention. Whatever the merits of the strike, the resort to poison to rid themselves of coinpetitoi-s not only stamps the strikers us murderers, but shows the dangerous tendencies of strikes when attended by embittered feelings' and rush counsels. There arecertain principles in the relations of capital and labor that cannot bo too strongly Insisted on, or too clearly explained. Tile laborer has an undoubted right to sell his labor at any price he may choose'or can get. He has' a right to combine with his fellow laborer for objects of,protection and advantage. He has a riglit, if the terms of his employer do not suit him, to refuse to work. But he has' no right to Interfere with another who chooses to work in his place, no matter what the price or tbe conditions accepted by the substitute. He bus no right to interfere, by threats or actual violence, with the capitalist wno chooses to employ an-otlicr than himself. Of course he has iiu right to resort to murder to rid himself of a competitor. The development of ;Molly Maguireism in the anthracite regions grew out of tlie theory that certain Iniportcd •miners had an exclusive right to employment in certain mines; und that any attempt to Interfere was a violation of that right, From this broad, yet false assertion, grew up the notion that they were entitled to define and enforce other as-suiiicd rights, some of which interfered with the rights of the mine owners. Eventually this degenerated Into pei'soiiul prejudices ' aiKl spites—the later uinrders being of pit boi ses, who luid otfended one or another of the order, . The authorities .were then compelled to vigorously, prosecute these people, and ithe. result is that i several are under sentence of .death. ; , :Wlie're the. assumption,of rights on the part of workmen, goes sofar.as in' the Illinois case, there is but one thing for the authorities to do—to arrest, try,, and punkh; wlthoiif'pltv or remorse.

Mtdor Reno was. in' cbminand of a fh>ntler garrison where many of' the otHcers^were accompanied by: their, iWives. . One of, the ofncers,.:Captalh Bell,, being away, .the. commandant ventured to take improjier liborttesiin bis cotiduct toward tlie absent oWcer's wife,: which were' pronaptly resented, and the lady refused to. have sny,ifur-, tber social;relations,with lilm. ,,He, then undertcfok to.disgrace her jiiy slandering her 'reputation, nihbng other things telling a olergvman who was a frlendof Captain iBell's :faimlly, and was entertained there wjille yislt-Ing the camp,tbat'MtH. Bell's'rcputa-tlon was Buc^ tfliut bje, woiilU be .compromised by accepting liei;,hosplt'allty. When Captain Bell retiirnccf to tiie garrison and ascertained from his wife what' iie^seoution > Sbe-'liad 'SUfi'ereti from one whose duty and honor ought to have IxHind him to.be a protector: instead of an enemy., he Immediately made complaint to, Generiil.iSheridan in command.oftlib,department, and a court-iiiartiur composed of bflloers ,pf high rank was convened to try M^jor Reno on'the obarges, The investigation was. protraoted and thorough, as became proceedings in so serious; a case; and the court convicted him of conduct unbecoming an.oilicer and a gentleman.and.8enteribed,hln|,to be dismissed frbiu'the army. . , ,.

The President approves the, finding and the sentence, saying thati "Miôr Reno'sconduot toward the wife of au absent offloer, and In using the whole force of his power as ooniinanding officer of the post to gratify his resentment against her, cannot be too strongly condemned." Nevertheless he has mitigated: the sentence ]io suspensloni from rank and pay fbrtwoêats, a severe penalty for most offences, but which will, we think, seem to most oflicers, and to manv besides, quite lenient for such an offenoe as that of which M^Jor Rene was convicted. For twenty years M Jor Reno has had the reputation of a brave officer, and he especially distinguished himself In the war of tue rebelllbn and In the Indian wars, although it was thbujgbt in some quartets that he failed to support General Custeras he should have tfoiie In that officer's last calamitous battle. Long and distinguished service Justly counts (or, much, particularly In cases where the fault alleged Is one of Judg-nientor weakness In respect of military conduct. How much It should weigh as ofl'settlng gross Inlinorallty and corruption In personal character Isanotber question,,

This case will Inevitably be compared or contrasted with the cose of Lieutenant-Colonel Valentine , Baker In England two or tbree years iigoi Baker was lieutenant-colonel of the Prince of Wales's regiment, the tenth Hussars, and was esteemed the most acconi-pli.':'lied cavalryottlcer In Europe, One day while riding in a railway coach ho made advances to a young lady who happened to occupy the couch with him, and so frightened her as to his intentions tbat she got out of the car and clung on the outside until the train stopped, when she was rescued from her perilous position and told her story. Colonel Baker was tried in the criminal courts, convicted and sentenced toa term of imprisonment. Ho was permitted to resign from the ariiiy, the alternative unquestionably being his dismissal, and there was much complaint that be wiis treated too lenl».ntly In being' allowed to resign. Colonel Baker's Indiscretion was not aggravated by any attempts to asperse the character of the lady he had Insulted. On the contrary, throughout all the proceedings of the trial no attempt was made to impugn her honor, or the discretion'of her conduct, From all the facts known, It appears that Major Reno's oll'ence was worse and less excusable than Colonel Buker'r', but the public sentiment of England would not:snd'er him.to remain In the service, ;,,,

Two Europeans who had tbe courage to curry some provisions to a small village In Shantung returned horror-struck with, what they had seen. The Inhabitants were puttlngan end, to their sufferings by suicide, and in one family the father and mother, toavoid'witnessing thedeath agony of their stani'ing chil-dreii, had burled tlicni n l lvc ' The famine has been caused by the foUure of the harvest for two years running In districts which are generally very fertile. Neither grain nor fruits are to be had at any price, und the land seems to hr.ve oeen scorched by' a burning wind. The grass by the roadside has been devoured to its very roots by the famishing people, who have stripped all the trees of their bark and foliage. As the winter has been exceptionally severcj many of the sulferers have died from cold as well as from hunger, und the a|)pear-aiice of the survivors is most gliastly.

SINKING A UUN BOAT.

trophe ou the Danube , r

Details bf theelnWlng.of the Turkish monitor by the Russian.armies before Ibralia on the, river Danube, are as follows: Two shells were' fired flrom a piece,In one of,the Russian batteries, under the direction of Commandant Samallll, at the monitor having two turrets and three masts and named the Loukflgelll (meaning "The Grace of God.") The vessel nred at was at a distance oftw(> miles flrdm the battery,

?'et both of the'shells struck the mentor. As tbey fell the vessel seemed

for a moment to be rising out of the water, and In less than a minute after she sunk. There was no explosion, and the monitor went down so suddenly that It is believed that tbe fatal projectiles did not strike the |x>wder magazine, but fell Into the hold,where they exploded, no doubt tearing large holes In her bottom, the water rushing In so rapidly that she sunk without warning. As soon as the catastropbe was comprehended In'Us fullest extent the Russians made an eilbrt to succor their enemies'. "A boat was dispatched from the shore t o the scene of the wreck. In which were an ofllcer of marines named Skoulew, an alde-de-cainn named Ragoulla and Lieutenant Doubanoif. , They were unsuccessful in finding any of the officers and crew In tbe water, nut Lieutenant Douban-oll'had the honor of capturing the flag of the sunken monitor. The Ill-fated vessel was under the conimahd' of Hedjet Bey.and had 200 men on board at tbe time she was so suddenly destroyed; Outof this number only one man was saved, and ho was picked up at the distance of a mile from the other Turkish vessels.^None of the Turkish commanders m'a'de any. attempt' to succor their coiiiradits lii distress. The sinking of the monitor,was a remarkable event, sudden and' siipreme in its eflects. At 8 o'clock that same evening the Grand Duke Nicholas, having been apprised of the news, at once telegraphed to his Imperial Majesty Emperor Alexander, reciting the main facts, Durlng.the same night the Czar telegraphed to the Grand Duke'asking for the name bf the commander of the battery whence the. shells were: fired, and that of the artillerist who pointed the^gun. According to the.rules of tbe Russian service, both' the ofllcer and tlie mail are entitled' to receive the grand cro.ssof St, George, '• "

As tbe Illinois legislature has made an appropriation for the completion of the Lincoln monumeqt. atSpringfleld. a description of the monument will have peculiar InteresVJusthow, and Is .hereglveniv, ,;-, , W ), \,_. ; T;he gVpHp #hlcU Is] tQ.be placed on me- right.w tb^ statu* of Lincoln rep-,resMi|tstbtin(utiw'atJn,nf the service, tliat.amrwbleli.flRbtorpltohcd battles 'andwlns decisive victories.

Ou the left of the officer is a drummer boy, who, with his drum strung on his back, with a; pistol In his, rlgbt^hand and a drum-stick in his left, is also rushing oh the enemy.. These figures are of heroic size and full of life and spirit.

In the distance. On the left of the mortar Is'a naval officer, who>has Just taken fhiih his eye the glasSiWlth which he has been Inspecting the enemy. His figure is in perfect repose, and his facets calm and assured, as becomes an officer of the true breed In the American niivy. The contrast between the excitement of the boy and of the sailor and the cool confidence of the officer Is very striking, and draws Instant attention. " When these groups are in position

the southern side of the: monument, will represent Lincoln crushing the rebellion with the army and the navy, while in his hand he holds the ehian-cipation proclamation. Theite groups were designed and modeled by Larkin G. Meade, now of. Florence, Italy. They cost $1.<),700 each, and ieaeh weighs nearly four tons. Two other groups of equal size, representing re* spectlvely the cavalry and artillery arms, are yet to be produced to complete the original design and fill up the vacant pedestals.

Water as a Beverage.

, No bne can exist without consuming a certain quantity of water, whicb' M the essential basis of all drinks. 'It has been calculated that the body of a man weighing eleven stone contains sixty-six pounds of solid matters and elghty-eignt pounds of water in twenty-four hours, and' this loss bf water must besupplledin bis foodand drink. In the ordinary physiological processes nothing passes into the blobd, and nothing passes out of it, without tbe Intervention, In some way or other, of water as a solvent. It will thus be seen that water plays a most important part in relation to animal life and nutrition. It Is also the agent by which the body is cleansed Inwardly, as well as outwardly.and Itls as necessary, though not quite so obvious, that the Interior of our bodies should be washed and made clean as the exterior. In the processes of nutrition—in the physical and chemical changes upon which life depends—efl'ele waste products are constantly being discharged Into the blood from the tissues of the body, and these have to be got rid of; for If they are permitted to accumulate In tbe blood the body becomes poisoned by them, and life is destroyed .as certainly as if a large' dose 6t prtisslc acid or opium ° 'were' introduced from witl QUt, Men do; Indeed "frequently die; poisoned by'tbxlicaigents' which they manufacture within their own organisms. One of the uses of water, taken into tbe body as abeveraget Is to dissolve these effbte prtftiuctsof the 'work of the organism, and'sb to convey them out of the body through'the action of the secreting organs.; Water Is readily absorbed Into the blood and Is rapidly discharged from It, In Its rapid course through the body It washes, so to speak, the circulating fluid, und carries away, through the channels of excretion, substances the retention of which In the blood wbuld

frove In the highest degree harmful, tmay readily be linaglned tbat pure

unadulterated water perfornis tbat function better than any modification bfit which we may drink as a bever-aae. "

I t l s , however, quite true'that some slightly mineralized waters :pa8s througli the organism with even great-

'er rapidity than pure water on account of the stimulating action they most of them exercise on certiiln of the excretory organs. Mild alkaline waters may also, under cerialh elrburastanees, prove more cleansing than pure water, on account of their grijater solvent action on sotne substances T h e quantity of water we need In the forni'of beverage depends greatly on the nature of the other substances we consuihe as food. With a dietary composed largely of succulent vegetables and fruit, very little of any kind of beverage is required. Much also depends on the manner In which our solid food Is cooked—whether, in the case of animal food, the natural Juices of the fiesh are retained In it or not; much, too, will depend on those atmospheric and other conditions which determine the,(imount of fluid lost.by evapbra-tiori from the surface o f the body. The sensation of thirst la tbe natural warning that the blood wants water. I may here remark. Incidentally, that It Is not a wise custom to take excessive quantities of ahy fluid, even simple water, with our food, for by so doing we dilute, too much the digestive Juices, and so retard their solvent action on the solid food we have consumed, A draught of fluid, however, toward the end of digestion Is often useful in promoting the solution and absorption of the residuum of this process, or in aiding its propulsion along the digestive tube. Hence the custom of taking tea a few hours after dinner, or seltzer or soda-water a little before bed linM.'.-:-J''ortniffht(i/, licvi'ew. ..

True Btrengrth.

. We miist measure a man's strength by the power of the feelings he subdues, not by the power of those which subdue him., And hence, oomposure is often the highest result bf strength. Did we eyer see a man receive a flagrant Injury and then reply calmly? Tbat Is a man spiritually strong. Or did we ever see a man In anguish stand as If carved oiitof bolid rook, as If mastering himself? Or bhe bearing a hopeless dally trial remain silent, and never tell the world what cankered his home peaee? That is strength. We too often mistake strong feelings for strong obarecter. A man who bears all before himj before whose frown domestics tremble, and ,whoee bursts of fury make the children of the household quake, because he has bis way in all things, we call him a strong man. The truth Is that he Is a weaR man ; It Is his passions, that are strong—he, mastered by them. Is w e a k . :'••.•• ••• -i -ii:",

Itusslan Sects.

Many of the sects have persons among them whom tbey believe to be Christ, incarnate for tbe second time, and the Virgin. One sect was founded, by a 'peasant^Boldier, Daniel Phillpltcb, about tbe middle of the seventeenth century, and is now strong In many parts of the empire, PhlUpltch's doctrines, as reported.by Mr. Hepwortb Dixon, who has made a special study in Russia :af'secret and buribiis sects, were, first, "I am God;" second, "There is no other God;" and third, "There' Is nothing new." He gave nine precepts to his followers,'which I quote from Mr. Dixon's text: "Drink no wine. Remain where you . are. Never Marry. Never swear or name tbe devil. Attend no wedding, christening, or other feast.: Never steal. Keep my doctrine, secrete; Love eaeh other, and keep my laws. Believe in the Holy Spirit,"

Another soldle; has recently established a new religion which Is so secret that it has no name, even among itsdlsciples, HepreteudedtobeChrlst, and chose a woman for Virgin-mother, The accounts given of this sect represent its doctrines and practices to be unlawful and blasphemous. The members are said to Insult the church In their meetings, and to treat sacred things with the utmost Indignity; and yet when the authorities undertook to punish the heresy, the men who were arrested established by abundant evidence their perfectly good behavior, and proved even that they were in all respects especially exemplary citizens and subjects; that tbey paid their taxes, obeyed the law, performed all their duties, lived sober lives, attended tbe services and participated in the rites and ceremonies of the Orthodox Church, went to confession legularly, partook of the sacraments,' and conformed strictly to the requirements of the church.' Enough was proved, however, to make It certain thut'tbese men have a secret religion of their own: and an emissary of the police, who had attended their meetings, testified that tbey mocked the sacraments, spat .upon icons, atld'gave' bther expression of thel r con tempt fbr the church, which In public they tfeated with ostentatious respect and veneration. This sect also has a Virgin as well as a living Christ.

Mr, Dixon tells us of another sect in Moscow who regard Napoleon as the Messiah, and worship his Image. They believe that the French emperor is still alive, somewhere in Asia, and that in due time he will return and conquer tbe forces of tho czar; , ,. ,

I have mentioned hero only a few of the miiiiy sects which have been described In'Russian official records.' Tue list might be extended almost Indefinitely it there were; space nt,coin-inund. One sect, whos'e practices are not proper iriattiji's to be described In this place,' bortst that even the Emperor Alexander I. was a member of .their communion. This is extremely unlikely; but it is certalin that that czar was deeply Interested,In studying tbe doctrines of the o'rderi and for that purpose went ambhg them in person, and questioned , them of their belief and praetlcc-rGeorge Cary Eggleston m Apjifcton'a'Journftl for May.

My barometer does not indicate anything of the kind, but .theirs stand at "much rain" or "stormy." For these eighteen hundred years or more—the Gospel sun has goneon'poundlngi and has neither been spiked nor worn out. As forouroppononts,they have obang-ed their guns a good many times. Our Gospel cannon has blown'their guns and gun-carriages and gunners all to pieces, and tbey have had to set up new batteries every year or two. Tbey change their modes, their arguments, their tactics, but we glory In the same cross as Paul did, and preach the same Gospel as Augustine, and Calvin and Whitefield,: and the like. All along the testimony of Jesus Christ has still been the same. The precious blood has been exalted, and men have been bidden to believe in Jesus. Pound away, gentlemen! We shall pound the longest, and we shall win tue day. If we believe God In that fashion, let us turn around to our discomfited brethren,.. and say to tbem, "Sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God, tbat it shall be even as It was told me."—[Bpurgeon.

'•\\\:E. Abbott, of New: SouthAVoleS. writes to tlie ScientiflO'Amerloan as follows: •' , .'" '•.:•; ••'•".••V

'.'I have noticed in some of your recent issues several articles' icin flying machines; The subject is one in which I havie takeh'a great deal of Interest, and as thecbnorusions at which Iliave arrived dlflTer altogether frorii'those 'bf your correspondents', it is Just i>ossibIe they may give a new direction to the discussion.

I believe the Invention of a machine to fly, by actingmechantcally oii. the air as birds do, is simply impossible il the luaohine, ,with its loud,^weighs more ihan 50 or 00 pounds. I do not say that a machine of any weight may not be, constructed which sUall.be Just a little heavier than the air'.displaced, and then the machine may b^ raised mechanically,by aotiug'oi^.thei'air, biit such,aiu[whlne wili,for roOeonswIiich follow, be little, if:at all,'better than a balloon. That ^hich enables a bird to fly fs the support which thepressure.bf tbeairgivea to the bird's'body; T h i s support diepehds, I think, on the proportion between the weight and the surface exposed to.theair. .ill the size of a bird ,& increased,- aU other things being equal,, the .weight ibcre(î«s4n a greater ratio than the surface exposed tbfthe air,'so tbat,^f with a certain ambui)t;.br wing area and' uiusciilar power abirdweigiilngilO lbs. could iiy well,and if hiswelghtw.ere increased to 80 Ibs; wlthmusctilar power, apd wing area increasiid in .the same'proportion, he could not fly at all.;' Or, if an eagle grew! as' big, aaian elephant, ;he ixiuid no more fly than an elephant. Let us suppose that'a bird of 10 lbs. weight is a.peffect.flying machine. Oiirobiect is to increase the. sllseof tlie muchiue and 'keejp the same perfection of parts. If the weight is doubled; keeping tlic some proportion of, all.thc puits ond using the same material, we will find that the muscular power iios not quite doubled, ond tlie supporting surface exposed -to the air has not increased in any tiling 'like the same.proportion, so, that a limit is sbpii reached where tiiemacbineiceases to have any power of fligbt, (ind that liniit, where muscular force is tbepower used, I take to bo about 80 lbs, , This accounts for the fact thuit lilt the'lorgest birds ore hot fliers. The ostrich, the cn'iu, dhd the moa ceased to be flying birds,as soon as'they'grew beyond a'cdrtuln size, which sijse wos determ(ncdbythe proportion butweeii tlicir weight and tlie surface exposed'to the uir. -Geblo-iy alsoBhows,that,Aybile mammals and reptiles grew in past ages to eubrniotis sizes, no flying animals, .eyer appeared tu'uoh larger than'those now existing.

'Iu> this^ way only is.it possible to account for thefact that small particles ofilron or steel dust will float foralong timein tiieair. Of course each particle is iis niuch.beovicr in proportion than the dir, as if it were a solid ciibe.seyerdi inobesiu diameter... This also accounts for theiact that the wing area in small birds Is riot nedriy so large in proportion tbiweight as in the large birds, andittie wing area' in proportion to weight is furtiier.:dim'i>ished.ih .many insects; siicii as the common bee.'and.hiahy of the' beetle'; tribe.': I' have seen'Some small arilnials'ln this^.cpuhtryj such as the opoMumond'the'rbiiki.wallaby, fall 50 feet on a' solid rookywlthout injury;

Thus new parties are formed, or deep revolutions ore wrought in the old. The lu t is precisely the oohditioh of the republl can party to-day. It has undergone a revolution that alone h u saved it firom destruction and haa triumphantly oome forth a new party with its grand old principles and old name. Wanderers from its ranks have failed to find out* side the reform soughtiJand have re>, turned to accomplish it within. This ia being m^dly done, and the bonds of good fsaliag. betwsati..tha Bortb and! south, and' between the liberal Cwtionii of both great parties, artbeoiimiiî taor*. firmly knit.

POSSIBIUTIES OF THE WAR. The Turkish war must for a long

time bo regarded everywhere with profound interest. Private expressions of opinion from. Europe, and some of the English papers, show an apprehension of a general complication. There are great preparations in Eogland, and great anxieties everywhere. The question which excites apprehension and expecta-| tion is whether Russia intendsterritorial conquest, whether the Czar reiiUy means to try for Contantinople and the Mediterranean. It is observed: that in his manifest he said nothing upon this point.. But the Grand Duke Nicholas, 'in his address to the army, announced distinpt-ly that tne Russians did not march for conquest. Yet every quidnunc in every cafe in Europe asks, within knowing shake of the head, " That is all very well; but how does Russia mean to pay herself for the expense of the war ?" Her ostensible object is the protection of the Christian subjects of the Porto. In the conference she stated what arrangement would .be satmfactory. . If, now, after hard fighting and immense loss, Turkey ofiers, as a condition,.of peace, the arrangement which she'refused at the conference, is Riusia likely to accept it? Will she not naturally say that Turkey has obliged horjto lose vast numbers of men and enormoua treasure in order to persuade' Turkey that she could do no better, and that as Russia has now shown that eho was in the rightf, she must be paid for her trouble and expense ?

This is but reasonable. The guarantees of protection for the Christians which would have been satisfactory before the war, will not satisfyafter. The eternal tale of the Sibylline books will be repeated, What would the further proposition probably be but Russian proteotion of the principalities? And what, in turn, would that be but the advance of Russia to the Balkan ? All this is not only possible, but probable, and it is the perception of it which ia filling up the British regiments and setting the British dook-yards humming. Thia is something abo which Austria could not favor. It was the suspioioa of such Russian designs that produced the secret treaty for Turkish protection, between Austria, Bngland, and France, after the treaty of Paria.^ The pra^ti-eal result would ( b i i i i ' j u ^ ^ the aotiva eo:flipei»ifflijsf.Biri^ |AnskHa, andTork^; ilîW V i M f l T u k a ^ i a n y paaaiva.

The Dletkmary Aa An lastnicter. We notice aa a matter well worth

mentioning, that at the reeent great publishers' trade sale in New, York, the hooka that were moot in demai^ and brought the beat prices wero jlYsbster's Dictionaries, f|om the famous qtiarto to the neat and liandy pocket; edifion: This fact is a good indication of the almost universal popularity of thMM'llookB, and of the growing publio. dejpand for them. It

indicates alsoafaotpf fkr greater importance, and that;iS:the interest the people are taking jb the study of their own language. This.Is encouraging, as there is no branch of education that is now and has been so much neglected as a common branehea of speuing and defining. It u often aslpnishing and grevious to see how grosjily ignorant aro some children and youth, and even men, and women, of the brthbgraphy,. pronunciation and meahibg of ordinary words and phrwies. .'Tney cannot express their thpnghta' forthe want pf wor^s; and often they . expresa thoughts very different from: what they intend, because they do not undentand the words they employ. And very frequently, from the same cani^, they take no idea, or wrong ideas, f i ^ what they read or hear. ,'|Fhe remedy for these evils is the

(roper training in the study of words, y the use of the dictionary, and this

training should begin as soon as the child can diatinguish.between one word aud another, and continue indefinitely.

The apparatus for this study should, of course, be the most complete and thorough to be had, and this is abundantly supplied in Webster's Dictionaries, which arojustly recognised wbere-ever our language is spoken, as the standard authority in Engluh. Parents and teachers can in no other way so effectually or so cheaply promote the educational intenst of their children, when of suitable age, as by putt|og in their hands any on'e of Webster's Scbool Dictionaries, for daily use in connection with the study of their lesspns/and by placing on the.family center table,,br the teacher's desk as the authoritative guide and standard, a copy of the unabridged.

The unabridged oontains 8,000 illustrations, over 114,000 words in iti vocabularies, and 10,000 words and meaninga not in any other dictionary; the: abridged editions comprise " The Primary^''which has the largest sale, and wmob has some capital rules for spelling^ "The Common school" is similar, but larger, with tables of synonyms, etc." The High School," still fuller, with many.usifol tables; "The Academic" and" Counting-house" for advanced 'schools and.for general home and business use.,The latter hassomespec-ially valuable commercial and financial Ubles. The little "Pocket" edition, with its bright gilt edges and morocco binding, ia truly an invaluable pocket companion.

.Tto Pretent.A Hen JEAtlncHer Egipi. A lady of considerable' experience

gives th(»; foUo\viDg as a neVerftiUng remedy, ezeept io cases of extraordinary fine birds. We would adopt the suggestions. She says: " We bsTO never failed in preventing Uiiv praotice by fllliog the hen.Bo fdl of somethmg else^ that she don't want to eat eggs. We do it in this way:—Put a vessel (a good three gallon brass kettle is very convenient) over the fire; fill it two-thirds fiill of water; let the water come to a boil; take the hen and cut her bill off smoothly and nio(4y just behind her eats,, plump; her. into the kettle, strip off the feathers, take out her insides, put her over the fire in a steamer for two hours; while she is there prepare the stuffing of light wheat bread batter and a little sage and parsley; fill her very full and lay the balance of the stuffing around her like eggs in a nest; put her in the oven till quite brown, and when the " gude man" comes to dinner, if he does, not amile at this way of breaking her of eating her own eggs he aint a bit like my hnsbaud or father.''

Bearlnr Turkeys ami Ooslins. The question has been aoked, how

best to set geese and turkeys eggs to get as e u l j hatch, and how to care for them after hatched.

Broody hens can usually b« secured earlier than broody geese or torkeyt. For nest take a box about four inches in depth, of proper sise, nearly fill with moist earth, moulding it into concave shape, sprinkle over with bruised straw. Short out straw is objectionable as it is said to annoy the hen by pricldng. Of turkeys eggs five to seven is a Mife ninn-ber,'«nd of geesb fojar to five^ Don't try to get to many; a much better batoh may be expected by not crowding too many eggs under the hen.

For young turkeys—hard boiled eggs choped fine with minced dauAolion will make a good feed for first wtek, then add bread oriimbs and bar'ley meal. The egg food may be dispfinsed with' entirely after three weeks. , Cord is also good; a pinch of alum to A quart of milk will make it quickly. Warmed potatoes are palatable. Keep ia dry qua^ ten during bad weather.

Now for the goslins. Give them a fresh sod every day, plenty oat meal and rice boiled for the first week; com meal in dough is also good. They should not be alluwedto swim too long wbile young M they are liable to have the cramps and die.

If vermin gel among them oil their heads and nooks with a little btitter or lard. Don't use grease on your hens while sitting. A little dry sulphur sprinkled on the hen and around the nest will keep away the vermin,

Turkeys. Turkeys delieht in warm weather,

and for the obioks, it can never be too hot. Warm weather and long rambles along the pleasant fields are good for the growing brood. To be profitable, turkeys must make rapid growth, and to do this they should be kept on hearty food, and dry and warm. A turkey hen never leads her brood across the open fields exposed to the approach of everv enemy, but steals cautiously and slowly along, With one eye on the alert for danger, while the pretty little creatures, sleek and downy, prattle and chatter, and look in every out of the way nook and corner for some concealed insect. They are immensely fond of spiders, and from the etgemen with whioh they search and devour them, the moiMl ffltPMibe very sweet and good to their taste.

WmXEBING HIVE IN u « t I

A tneoessful combination of the box or ba hive and the movable frame blve. Old. well-known and tried principles combined In such a manner as to make a new and patentable, Inyentlont No experiment to try It I The principles have been In use for thousandsol.ycsrs. Mo departure from na-tnfe In this invention. In nature the honey bee chooses a hollow or cavity In which thwr can attaeh'thelr combs to the sides as wellas to the top, so aa not to be obliged to heat any more of the space or ranges of comb than they happen to occupy; whereas, In the movable frame hive the combs are detached from the sides and hung In frames, leaving an openlnc bt each end of every comb, making It Impossible to retain animal heat between the combs, and forcing the bees to create animal heatenough to heat the whole hive, and when their nnmbers arelnsulll-dent they must consequently dwindle away and die ont, which has .undoubtedly been the cause of the great loss In bees for years past. With the advantages of all the discoveries. Improvements, Inventions, and experience of the last twenty-flve years, and with constant oare and attention, we nave not been able to multiply our numbers to any greater extent. In the same region, than they did In oldou times In the old box hive, even when they killedone-halfor two-thirds of their bees every fall for the honey, and gave the balance no attention whatever, and all lor the. simple-reason that we have departed from nature and nitersd the Internal conditions ot nature's hive. In this lUve the combs are attached to the sides and top. It la oomposed of interlocking robet sections, andean be handled or manipulated nswell and easy as any movable frame hive, and oan be changed to any size to suit the size of the awarm,- Artindal swarming la made practicable without rearing queens. Nuclei oanba formed by nslng two ends and one secUon.and they oan. be united with weak itocita'tn the faii,.or. combined to make up a new stoek. The brood-ohamber Is made treat peoot by covering it with several thlck-neaseaof wrapping paper, then sliding the cover down over It.' Tnentled material for this blve Will be sold at low ilgures, and the buyer oan have the beneOt or the proat of mannfhciurlng if he chooses, 1 propose to compete with any hive in the market in iln-Ubea hives or Btted material.

From the New Yorlt ETenlog:h)9t.' .'. •': •"•'.'' , A combination of s e e i n g ,,machihe manufacturers, including tlie Singer, the Wheeler iSi; Wilson and tb'^'Orover & Baker Companlea,:have..';(QE many years controlled the patentsôn' some of the esaeritidl parte of every'sewing ma3hine,and have exacted a" royalty, from all; otiier manufacturers. The Important Howe' patent on the eye-ipolnted needle expired about ten years ago, i^nd the Fitzger^d patent! on the four-mbtibn feed about three years ago. The IdstoMhls series of t^toiite will expireon Tuesday next, and the manufacture of ' sewing machines will thcnceforihbe free to every one, although,, of course, a. large number,of patente.bn non-essential details and at-lachmente will Contihtie In force.

The patent which expiresiis. the one known us tbe Batchelder patent, and covers the needle^plate, togetber with all devices by.whlch cloth can be fed lêtween two clamping surfaces, .This patent'waa granted In 1850,' and renewed in 1870. For the use: of the needle.plate,,which is 'essential, every, company oiitsideof the coinblnation; has been reqiilred to.pay a royalty of three dollars on each .machine sold, unless it was' intended fbr .export. A' royalty ofany amountcould be charged, however, it It was, was desired to limit the manufacture of .dhy new machine. One company, it Is said, has pdid ,$800,000 in the last ten years to the .companies controlling this patent.

'The simple (dct la that the "matglii" of profit in the sewing-machine Ciisl-neas has been so enormous as to allow manufacturers, ogente and canvassers a Joint profit of 400 to 600. per cent, on their wares. The actual first cost of the' $60 and (70 machines sold' by the! leading companies Is, on the confession oftheir own officers, from $11 to $15 apiece, Thoaddltiohdl600 per cent, is distributed in royaltle8,commiBslonB to ageute,' commissions to canvassers,' taxes, offlcb relit, arid profit to t h e manufacturer, Tbe canvaaacr rarely makes leas than $20 on each machine sold, and 'When, as in tho case of the Singer and otherlarge.compuiiie8,,'the year's sales are computed by hundreds' of thousands, the dmouiit which the' '"middle men" reeblve'.beconica enormous,' : : ' . : . ; • : i :.

The manufacturers claim tbut tiieir own siiareiof profit.isohly 80 per cent,,; nudthuta large portion of this is swallowed up in the maihtehancb'bf their Immense establishments; in taxes, and In the constant and extensive litiga-.tion which the protection of their respective patente. entails upon them. In one case,, .recently pending, in ,'thcj coiirteof Baltimore, one cbmiinhy is said to have pdid but$00|000. The extent and value of the sewing-machine tradema:.be gathered from tbe fact that the Singer Comnany, which Inst year sold over 200,000 raacbiucs, has from $10,000,000 to '$15^,000 Invested in ita buaincssi •' Tiie'IIowc'Cbninany has $7,000,000; to $8,000,000,'and the Wheeler it Wilson ] and:; other hurge con^panieahaye amounteimo'proporr tibn'.,ti ..', ,i,,,,-.,, • ,. \r:.., ':";*'

Harry Hamficomb was a young New Yorker, who hud laid the foundation, of bis,.'fortune while,performingrjthe duties of iin assistant-payniaster In the Unltedr-Btatea navy,v during itbe civil war.' He had been fortunate enougb to make considerable r prizes money, which be had Invested In the whirlpool of speculation on Wall Htrcet. r, Fortune smiled ,upou him. Wealth crowned ,hbi,most re9kles8 efforts, arid at twenty-five Hal Hams-comb found himself in possession of three hundred thousand dollars. He wu8 dlaposd to see the world, he was Hingle, his own master, and, having a penchant foi; the water, he purchased u fine schooner yacht.

On board tbo Phantom Hal passed the greater part of his time. It waa there he entertained his friends, and It was while lying ofi* the Ocean House, at Newport, one dreamy afternoon, with the surf murmuring along

^ the shore, that he related the follow Iklng adventure; , • / i < i

As you will remember. Fred, I made up my mind to pass, tue severe wintry monttas of last yei&r in the Westlndiea, oruislng ftvm point to point OS the spirit moved.

It waa late in January when I sighted the frowning battlements of the Moro, and running dose In under its walls, the Phantom anchored ofi the

• Mole. At sunset I ordered my gig, having

made an unusually elaborate toilet, not forgetting to stow away a trusty revolver In my pants' pocket, for I was well aware that the Biianlards entertained for the Yankees an invet-entte hatred.

I had some thirty doubloons In hiy iHHskets, besides drafts on Ruaz & Co., For five thousand more, which precious slips of paper I had stowed away in my pocket-book ; and, giving a few parting instructions to my sailing-master relative to suppliee, I shoved ofi', and was soon walking rapidly up town.

I was not very well jposted in Havana, although I had been there before. Still, I knew where the.Tacon

k Theatre waa, and had about made up r my mind to witness the performance

there. But, as it was yet too early by several hours to think of that, I turned

f |to the right, entered the grand plaza,, and passing into Domnlcka's'gorgeous saloon, I ordered a cream, a basket of fruit and a bunch of maduras.

It would have been Just as well for uie if I bad avoided that saloon entirely, but of course I could npt'foreaee what wua fated to happen. As you' know, Fred, I can spealc Spanish with the cose and lluency of a native, and I soon became aware that I had attracted some attracted some attention from u quarter where-1 least expected such tt demonstration.

Seated but a short distance from me were two ladies, Creoles, both young and handsome as bouris.

Well, to make a long story short, I struck up a fiirtation with one of the senoritas, and, notwithstanding the evident displeasure of her con^panion, the handsomest of the two' was levi-' dently not at all averse to the amusement. • ;

The luce veil bad' been thrown back from her pretty head, crowned with a bewildering mass of Jet-black hair, Her eyes, dark and languishing as sloes, llashed unutterable things at me, while her fun lluttered to and fro with the grace and ease for which the ladles of the ever-faithful isle are noted. Her dark dress, cut low in the neck, revealed shoulders of the most ravishing whiteness and proportions, while a dainty foot and slipper peeped from

, beneath her ample skirts, allowing a transitory glimpse of an ankle that completed the impression theflair ulren had already made upon my inflammable heart,

. ' The ladies rose to depart; a chair litood in their way, which I hastened to remove. My fair one turned to thank mc, and by some means caught her foot, tripped, and would have fallen heavily hud I not caught the blushing lady in my arms.

In evident confusion, the ludy essayed to thank me, broke downi'and hurriedly left the establishment to enter her volunte, standing at the door. It was not until she had driven off

' with hcreoinpunion that I discovered a valuable luce Imndkerchlet lying on the floor.

Here wos the opportunity I panted for. In an instant tne dainty cobweb was In my possession. Ave seconds more and I wui in a volunte, driving ut full speed tlirough the narrow, crooked streets of the city, which grad-

• ually widened us we ncared the walls. Through the massive gateway we

dashed, deboucliiiig on the well-graveled highway leading to the interior of the island. On every side elegant vllliis, half hidden 'mid.'a profusion of tropical shrubbery, peeped through the gatherinK gloom, the white walls of the bulidinga gleaming with a ghastly

, hue in their short-lived twilight. ^ The delicate tints of the. bank of

clouds in the west, the fragrant air, heavy with perfume, the novelty of uiy situation, mingled with the anticipation of an amatory adventure, put mc in the very best of humor.

But I was not so fur gone as to lose my head and habitual caution. Oh,

I knew the ground I was travelling n ; at least, I flattered, myself that I

xdid. Spanish women are full ol Intrigue, while the men are Jealous and passionate, preferring to redress a fancied wrong under cover of darkness, thrnfgb the medium of a keen-bladed

"You have an odd-looking aervant, seriorita—^" '

I paused, while she, with a smile, infonriedme that her father's name waa Almetz, and hers Maria. Henrico, she asserted, was a pretty name, and we were soon on the best of terms.

The wine waa brought, the scowling dwarf favored me with an insolent look, apparently teklrijr In my dimeu-Blons from head to foot, but before I could say a word the fellow disappeared with a rapidity truly marvelous.

""You speak Spanish remarkably well, senor," she remarked.

"Yes," I replied, "for an American." "Areyou Indeed an American? .How

glad papa would have been to have seen you I But alas, he will riot return for several days yet."

"And do you live here all alone?" I Inquired, at the same time possessing myself of her hand, despite a slight struggle on her part.

"On,'rib,8ehor Henrico! My cousin, the young lady you saw with me in town, is here, but has been obliged to retire with a severe headache."

"Then you are not lonesome;' and BO far away from the city ?"

"Ob, no, I have hoetA of friends; and you, no doubt, have quantities in the city'?".

"On the contrary, my dear Maria. You are the only acquaintance I have in Havana."

"Brit you Americans are all wealthy, and do not require friends." ; "True, my gold Is my best friend,"

"I imagined I saw a man's head peering in through the window, and there ure so many deperate characters prowling about the country, I am frightened to death. Are you armed, senor?" and the fair oreote allowed her pretty little head to rest confldlhg-ly on my shoulder, while her black eyes were*upturned to mine,

" No," I answered, with unblushing effrontery, "I nevercarryarms; butno harm shall come to you while I have life to protect you. Hat what was that?" and a low, distant rumble fell upon my ear. With n wild moan a gust of wind surged through the grove of orange trees, tossing the

oughs to and fTo. at tbo same instant a vivid flu^h of llghenlng lit up tho surrounding gloom with an Intense light.

The rattling peal of thunder had scarcely died away when the pattering drops of lialn'were' heard falling'In quick succession, I peeped through he half-closed lattice work, it was black as midnight without. There was no disguising the fact. A violent squall Wtts upon me, such as are only met with In the tropics, and there I was, four or Ave miles from the city, with the hour verging close upon midnight. The situation was rather embarrassing to me, to say tlie lcn.st, but Maria quickly solved tho dlfllculty, when I rose to depart.

"Holy virgin, Senor Henrico, leave my father's house on such a night us this. Itlerclful heavens, listen to that," and a fearful burst of thunder shook the house to Its very foundation, at the same time the senorlta 'crowde<l close to riiy slde,'trembllMg with frtghli.' I wound my arm around her waist, pressed my lips to hers, and Anally accepted her invitation to remuin for the night. In fact, Fred, I'could scarcely do less under the circumstances, eh ?

Well, she rang the bell, I assumed a more formal attitude, the dwarf entered, and in obedience to his mistress' command lighted mc to my sleeping apartment, budc measurly good night, and I was left to comnnine with my-own thoughts.

It wus iionsense for me to attem|>t sleeping. My blood was loo much excited for that., Fastening my chamber door, I turned down the coverlid to the bed. removed my boots, lit a cigar, and taking a seat by the open window, I pondered over the incidents of the

I was riot at all" surprised when a flash of lightning revealed to me the fact ef the portrait having been swung to one side.

It was merely, a screen, to a.'secret recess, and I soon made oat the forms of* Sanchez and Maria; the former armed with a formidable dirk, the woman carrying a lamp, the n y s of which she earefiilly screened;

"Now, Sanchez, be quick ; iitrlke sure and secure the. gold. Bee, he la fast asleep; doubtless dreariiing of his fair Maria," and the dwarfs teeth snapped together In savage fUry as he nolseleuly Into'the apartment.

There waa no hesitation In the misshapen raacal's part aa.be gained the bedside. His long, elriewy arm ioae high above his' nead,' while Maria, with charming nonchalance, directed a ray of the lamp full upon the bed.

But with the blow came a yell of consternation from the dwarf aa he drew aback apace; which cry of surprise brought the senorlta quickly to his side.

VPerhaps you are looking for me ?" and I advanced boldly Into the center of the room, concealing' m y revolver from their view. "But, Maria, I am afraid your father, the worthy army officer, would scarcely sanction your being here In that undress rig. You display most too much——"

But before I could finish the sentence the dwarf, with a prodigious bound, sprang upon tne. His long, nervous fingers compressed my throat with the grip af a vice. Though taken by surprise, I did notlose my presence of mind, and the muzzle of my revol-. ver was pressed close against'the scoundrel's heud as I pulled the trigger.

With a dull thud the body struck the floor a corpse, and I had an opportunity'to turn my attention to the fair but frail Maria'.,

The Creole hud disappeared, making use of the secret passage, through which I did not. care to. follow her. Leisurely I departed from the house, and turned my face toward the city. I had not proceeded far when I was met by a mounted' party of patrolmen, to whom I related the adventure.' In'an Instant the order was given'to'wheel andgallop. The house wassurrounded. Maria, her cousin and 'all the inmates of the liouse captured in the act of escaping, and soon after the g^ng terminated their long career of crime through the gentle pressure of the garotte.

A Strange Story^- -: Here is a true story from Philadel

phia with all the elements of' mystery and' dramatic, horror for which our modern - novelists and- play wrIghts strive In vainr Two orthroe months after the Exposition closed the dead body ofa mari was found in a lonely gorge, six miles from the city, too muoh,decomposed for recognlttomand without thesllghteBt clew in his cloth' trig by .frbloh to identll|ir blm. It waa suppoMdho' had .been a gueht at; the Granger's Hotel; which was an enormous temporary barracks to which thousands of transient,lodgers came dsily..,)I: No register was kept, nor obufd any account be taken of them after they paid for their room In advance. What could be more unlikely than that this unrecognizable body could'be Idieutlfled as one of the namer less: nlllioM wbo.ioame; and',went tbroi^h Philadelphia last year,'or that nls triiinlerer should bo foiiiid T' . Yet,'by a" chance letter itoariroriii-

rierit niewspaper publisher from Germany, the wnole strange story is laid bare. 'The murdered man proves to be a young German of a wealthy family who came to'Phlladelpblarlast summer. At this Granger's Hotel he fell in with another German and formed a close companionship with him. The stranger learned all bis secrets, the

Iiartlculara of his busineas and family Ife, obtained letten from him, from

When nil plans, .'Were ' ripe he enticed the young fellow out to this lonely gorge, kllledf him, took posBession of GIB trunk and other property, and opened a correspondence with nls family in Germany, v Since last October this correspondence has been carried oH, the murderer personating his victim and obtaining by pleas of Illness, losses, eto., large sums of money.

By this time his arrest will in all probability be made. There Is an inexorable Justice which dogs the steps of a guilty man. But we never remember to have seen a stronger proof of it than this, unless it was the death of Lee at Mountain Meadows.

Geologists who have been digging around the ruins of Pompeii, that city that was buried under an asbery larger than East Saginaw's debt, say they have us yet fulled to find anything that would lead them to believe that the Pompelladores ever wore porous plasters. They were a happy people, a prosperous people. Two weeks ago a miserable pill-mixer who hadn't the courage to cut our throat, prescribed a porous plaster for our shoulder blade. The following diary willglve the reader some idea of our misery.

Monday—Applied Doctor Demon's porous plaster to our manly shoulder. Stlcketh closer than a brother.

Tuesday—Porous plaster gete down to business. It iteheth. Yea, itsmart-eth.

Wednesday—Small boy hired to agitate the porous nuisance with a garden rake. On for arms two miles longj to be able to get at tbint infernal plaster!

Thursday -The plaster waxeth smarter. Another boy hired to scratch. Been out to look for that doctor with a gun.

Friday—Have this day let contract of tearing ofl' porous plaster to county surveyor. He couldn't do It.

Saturday—I'luster still continues to draw. Would take premium at any academy of design for drawing. Draws better than any opera troupe. P. 8.— At lust accounts the plaster wus drawing the victim backwards down Water street at the rate of ten miles an hour. Gone to meet the doctor.—ifcjy Cil,y Observer.

"Well, judge, I'll tell you about It. I met a man on Broadway who said, 'How do you do, Mr, Brlnghnm, and how are all the people in Milwaukee?' 'Brlghum! said I, 'Milwaukee I' said I. 'By the Lord Harry, you've made a mistake,' said I ; 'I'm Mr. James G. ShlUnber, of Boston.' 'Beg pardon.' said he and was oft'like shot. A little further on a nice young man met me and sold, 'How do you do Mr. Shlllabcr, and how ure all the folks In Boston 7' 'Do you know all the folks in Boston?' said I ; I guess you made a little mistake. My name Is Baker, and I'm from Bangor, Me.' Then he weuit around the corner. Pretty soon the nice young man met me. 'How do you do, Mr, Baker,' sold he, and, how are all the folks In Bangor ?'

My boy, the Lord gave you a life to live, "and thou sbaltmake of it a song, a dance or a funeral dirge, as thou wilt," and whatever you make of It you shall enjoy or endure. You have the choice whether you will plant thorns or roses along the way you are travelling, and wbltner your footsteps shall take their course; but you cannot pluck flowers If you strew thistle-seed; whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. If you sow Idle, dissolute hablte you shall as surely reap poverty as the farmers gather corn from the sowing of that seed. A fast young man went to see a noted Chinese doctor of Sun Francisco for treatment. Tbe Celestial told him what his trouble was: "Too much dunce; too much fool around !" and added, "no good!" and they are no

A "bummer" is an abomination; even the devil hath no regard for him, but lighted the Ate under him sevea times hotter when he at last getteth him. Don't be a loafer, abhor being a bummer.

A Novel Idea from Slinkerdoni.

Elder Evans, the leader of the Shakers Is urging a plan for "utilizing the dead," by burying them about twenty feet apart and planting a tree over each one, so that the burying ground will, in a few years, become u l)eautl-ful grove or proAtable piece of woodland, Instead of a collection of stone memorials of doubtful artistic merit. He bus a plea of justice at the foundation of his scheme, that, us every man during bis life and ancestors before him have liud their sustenance' from the elements and productions of this earth, he should be willing in his death to contribute to the support of those who come after him. The plan bus ulrendy been curried out on a small scale ut New Lebanon, N. Y., where a burial ground tlint bud become crowded was graded off and planted with evergreens, all marks of the subsoil occupants of tho lot being obliterated.

There Is supposed to be about 175 quartz mills in Nevada, of various sizes, from i stamps up to ,00 stamps, nuist of them employing from 10 to 30 stumps, and costing all the way from $5,000 to $500,000 apiece. : These mills have a capacity for crushing from 20 to 300 tons of rock per day. The newest and ino.st costly mills are tho Consolidated 'Virginia and California, each having 00 stumps and a dully capacity of handling 800 tons of ore.' It Is said that the former cost $450,000 and the lutter $520,000, These mills are extra finished and most complete in all their appointments. The only other,60 Htuiup-mills we can recall are the

He would probably/be told that the. father's mission ended with the daugbter's marriage ;i it waa now the huBband's.duty to provide for her. For our nut, we have ceased to pity poor girls iprowing up In scanty homes, and mafrylrig penniless young men. Thesegiifa are trained for the life that awaita them. They riiust be content with little all their l ives: but all their youth haabeen a preparation for such content;.]But aidaughter bred in luxurious idlêos, .taught riorie of the economies that belong to bumble life, and then meiryirig without dower, deserves more,.,pity than men usually bestow upon her. And her husband, full of enterprise and capacity, takes up a burden which, love might lighten but cannot carry. Business failures, broken., homes, miseries and crimes lie jvehind, this curtain.

The department Is no doubt Informed of the various dodges in thiS' kind of swindling, which Is demoralizing to the service, and if continued, robs the department of millions of dollars.
