The religious services in connection with the 194th anmversary of the relief of Lon‘ ‘fidonderry were celebrated in the Cathedral of that city in presence of the Apprentice Boys and a, vast congregation. According to the Chemikcr Zcitung, M. Muller has evaporated skimmed milk in a. vacuum, so as to obtain a. permanent product, which can be preserved for many months in a dry atmosphere, end which has valuable alimentary properties. He thinks that it may be of great use in pas- try, and in Vsricus kinds of baking, and the best sugar of milk can be made from p it. The skimmed milk which is collected “H.111 dairies and cheese factories is usualiy given to animals or wasted in sewage; it contains. however, lat quantities of salts and particles of butte and caseine, whkh can be utilised by Muller's method. “ On the trip that I started out to tell about, I had my dispatch secreted as usual, and was riding along very peace- fully in the disguise of a farmer going to the mill, whenI was suddenly surprised by the enemy. I pretended to be very much enraged at them making me their prisoner, but there was no getting out of it, for they had kinder dropped on me. They pro- ceeded to search one and compelled me to take off every stitch of clothing. These they ripped up into ribbons, but of course they ofound nothing. and I was beginning to feel safe, when, standing before them there, perfectly nude, one of the fellows firmed up to me, and slapping me on the ck, said : “ Ain’t he fat? He’d make good beef.” “ This slap was so vigorous that out popped my false teeth. That settled it. The jig was up, and I began contemplating my fate. Seventeen men jumped for those false teeth at the same time, and it didn't take long for them to find the dispatch, which read: ‘Send us 300,000 men at once.’ “ ‘ So you were on your way for reinforce- ments, Were you?’ said a big. redrnosed captain sneeringly. ‘Well, we’ll just help you along on your journey. Bring up that mortar.‘ “ ‘ Great heavens l ’ thought I, ‘ they certainly don’t intend to blow me to picoae.’ The mortar was brought up and planted; and pointed in the direction in which I had been travelling. ‘ Double-charge her and stick this fellow in head first,’ said the cap- tain. They double-charged her and then forced me in head first. Vivid recollections of everything mean that I had ever done in my life flitted across my mind and, boys, I actually prayed. But while I prayed I felt them ramming the charge home, and I oon- eluded that r_ny_ prayere were of nq avail. ” I smelled the powder right in front of me, and a happy thought struck me. Something told me to eat the powder, and I began on it. At every jam of the ramrod I swallowed an extra-sized mouthful, ' and when the ramming ceased I could see day- light through thetouch hole. A fuse was in- serted and touohhed OE, and no doubt the fiends retreated to a safe distance to watch my flight into Alabama. I heard the fuse sizzling as the fire drew near to me, but I felt safe, for not a. grain of powder had I left lying around loose. The fuse went out with a sudden spurt, and I felt that my life had been saved. The would be mur- derers couldn't understand why the gun missed fire. and they began drawing the charge to see what ailed her. Just about the time they got me out a lot of our cavalry charged upon them and I was saved ; but, boys, I can taste that saltpetre and sulphur to this day.” Wnns’ Ingenious Scheme roPrevcul Being Fir-ell Out of a Mo: lnr. “ It was just before the battle of Shiloh.” said Col. Watts to a reporter of the Louis- ville (Ky.) Commercial, " when I was engaged carrying dispatches from our divi- sion to another located about one hundred miles south of us. Every precaution had been taken to head off all communication, and the greatest care had to be exercised in keeping dispatches and thelike secreted, so that in case at the carrier being cap- tured nothing of a. tell-tale nature could be found upon him. When I entered the scouting services I had four of my front teeth knocked out: and had them replaced by false ones. These were hollowed out behind and admitted of a. good-sized mes- sage being secreted therein. How fast horses will be able to trot is a subject receiving some attention at the present moment. Professor William H. Brewer, of Connecticut, publishes in the American Journal of Science last April a table showing at what rate the speed of trotting horses has been increased in the last forty years. From this it appears that in 1843 only one horse had trotted a mile in 230 or better; in the next decade the number increased to 14 ; in 1863 there were i 59; in 1873, 376. and by the close of the season of 1882 there were 1,684. The table shows further that up to 1882 495 horses had trotted a mile in 2.25 or better; 275 in 2.28 or better; 156 in 2.21 or better; 60 in 2.19 or better; 18in 2.17 or better. andSin 2.15 or better. “I leave it to mathematicians,” Professor Brewer con- cluded, “to plot the curves which imme- diately suggest themselves to determine how fast horses will ultimately trot and when this maximum will be reached.” Mr. Nipher came to the rescue as a mathemati- cian, and in the contribution of the same magazine demonstrated to his satisfaction that the speed of the trotting horse will never reach 1 32, but will constantly approach it. and in the season of 2220, or 360 years from 1860, which-he takes as his base line, the record will be reduced to 1.33. Lower than this he thought it could not go. He modestly admitted the possi- bility of error to the amount of seven seconds, and asked ten years more data in order to fix the limit certainly.

Report has reached us, says the George- town Herald, that Louis Sherbino, who has many acquaintances in and around George- town, was murdered and robbed of about $15,000 in the mountains of New Mexico, about two weeks aso. He has a wife living, and his father lives in Fort Erie. Mr. Sherbino was a young man of remarkable aouteness and business ability. When he first went west he was unable to read or Write his own name. He engaged in lumbering at first, but soon turned his attention to mining, and in a short time is reputed to have made about 350 000. He went to Buffalo in the fall of 1881, and boarded at the Tremont House until the next spring. While there he organized a mining uompar y, and induced a number of Bufialonians to invest. Among the number was Hiram Exstein, the clothing manufac- turer. During the winter Sherbino taught himself to read and write. Last fall he returned to Buffalo for a short time and boarded at the Tremont. He had a peculiar habit, which was noticed by the boarders at the hotel, of carrying all his money on his person. This undoubtedly cost him his life. From letters received from Colorado, Sherbino is reported to have sold a mine for $50,000 within,the past month. He received $15,000 in cash, and taking his money with him he started for New Mexico to buy a ranche. On the way he is reported to have been robbed and murdered. Bruin] Murder by It New York Police- mun. A last (Thursday) night's New York dcspatch says: A terrible case of police brutality occurred in this city last evening. John Smith. a deck hand on the schooner Ellen Hashrook, new lying at her dock at Philadelphia, was brutally clubbed to death by cflicer McNamara, of the Mul- berry police station, at the corner of: Canal and Mulberry streets, at 7.30 p. in. Smith ‘ had been visiting Patrick O’Donnell, second mate of the same vessel, who lives at 88 Mulberry street. When they parted Smith was the worse for liquor, but started for his home at the corner oi 63rd street and 3rd avenue. He had not gone far when he entered the doorway of No. 121 Mulberry street and fell asleep. Mrs. Hughes, who resides in the house, called ofifcer McNamara to get the man out. The offset entered the hallway and at once com- menced to club Smith in the most brutal manner. Smith got up and proceeded up Mulberry street, followed by the officer, who kept clubbing him about the back and arms. Smith remonstrated with the officer, who became greatly excited, and on reaching Canal street he struck the unfortunate sailor two murderous blows with his club, one on the neck and the other on the chest, and Smith fell dead on the sidewalk. A stretcher was sent for, and the dead tailor was removed to the station-house, where the officer reported him sick, and, as in all such cases, he was treated with indifference. The excitement in the neighborhood became so great and such demonstration was made by the crowd that the body was finally examined, and then it was learned that he had been badly bruised and his neck broken. Several respectable citizens called at the station- house and left their names as witnesses. McNamara was arrested, and held to await the result of the coroner’s inquzst. This is the second time he has been charged with a similar offence. Attempt to Ulilize its Wasted Forceâ€" 500,000 Ilorse Power to be Obtained. A Buffalo despatch says : The problem which has for some time enlisted public attention, namely, how to utilize the enormous power going to waste in the Niagara river, is one step nearer a solution than it ever was before. E. Baker, a Boston engineer, arrived in Buffalo yester- day morning to look over the field and, take preliminary steps toward an intro- duction of his apparatus. It is claimed by this gentleman that a. power equivalent to that furnished by 500,000 horses can be obtained by submerging his motor in the midst of Niagara. river, a force sufiicienu to pump all the wafer to generate all the electricity and to run all the machinery in the oily of Buffalo, and this too Without. going to Niagara Falls for a head of water.

It has accommodation for 500 pupils. The organ in the cathedral cost $100000. The cathedral interior pre- sents a beautiful appearance. The altar was made in Antwerp, the statues in Flor- ence and the Windows in London. A Montreal despatch says: Frederick Mann, the young Englishman who is charged with the diabolical murder of several members of the Cook family in this Province last year, is reported to be trying to cheat the executioners by making at- tempts to escape lately from L'Orignal jail. His first attempt was nearly successful, as he had scaled the walls surrounding the building, but some boys on the outside oom- rnenced stoning the malefactor and the noise broughtthe Warden in time to pre~ vent the prisoner from making off. The second attempt was alsoa bold bid for liberty. It appears the warden had gone away for a day. and left a feeble old man to look after the murderer. 0n the new‘ keeper entering theprisoner's cell the latter ‘ saw his opportunity, and got out and looked his attendant in. The incarcerated man called so loudly as to attract the attention of the warden’s Wife, who gave the alarm, ‘whioh brought assistance, and made the :second trial as unsuccessful as the first. ’ The prisoner occupies his idleness in read ' ing and walking through the corridors and yard of the jail, seemingly quite insensible to the peril he is in.

(YLUBBED T0 BEAT}!- TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE perished during a shock which took place there in 526 A. D. Sixty years later a. single shock is said to have destroyed 30,000 persons at the same place. In the United States, in 1811, a great earthquake occurred at New Madrid, Mo., extending over 300 miles. The most severe shock ever felt in the Middle and Eastern States was that of 1755. Canada’s most re- markable earthquake on record began in 1870, somewhere in the region 60 to 100 m. N.E.of Quebec. From this it spread to New Brunswick, was felt throughout Quebec and Ontario, and finally reached Chicago. The earthquake was also heard in New York. The velocity of its shock was about 14,000 feet per second. ‘ TEE DISTURBED DISTRICT. The island of Krakatoa is one of the Dutch dependencies in the Strait of Sunda. lying midway between the extreme westerly point of the island of Java and the southeasterly part of the island of Sumatra. It is about forty miles from the garrison of Anjier. a fort on the Strait of Sunda. on the west coast of Java; sixty miles from Serang, the principal town of the Bantam (Java) Residency, and 120 miles from the capital city and seat of the Dutqh Government in the East Indian Archipelago, Batavia. It is about six or seven miles in length and four or five miles in width. Like the surrounding islands of the East Indian group, it is very mountainous and volcanic. Upon it the Dutch Government have established a fort with a small garrison, which is in almost a straight line with Anjier, Java. IN THE STRAITS. The Strait of Sunda is about sixty miles in width and serves to connect the Indian Ocean with the Java Sea, which is connec- ted with the Chineee Sea by means of numerous passages or straits between the numberless islands immediately to the noth of Java and Sumatra. The island of Krakatoa is surrounded by groups of little islands, many of which are nameless. The principal one is known as “ Dwars der Weg,” or “ Thwart the Way." It is so called because as the straits narrow be- ‘ tWeen the southeasterly portion of Sumatra and the westerly coast of Java they are divided almost in the centre by this island, which, from its lccation, seriously interferes with navigation. A telegram from Prof. Davidson. assist- ant superintendentof the Coastand Geodet‘c Survey, San Francisco, says: “ The earthquake waves increased in height yes- terday. The height of the waves was one foot, and time about 40 minutes between crests. It is supposed that these are waves caused by the earthquake that destroyed Anjes and other towns in Java. There was a similar occurrence on the 23rd of December, 1854, when the town of Simoda, Japan, was destroyed, and a Russian ‘frigate overwhelmed. These waves were recorded on three gauges then used. 0n thePacific Coast disturbances of a like character also were recorded in August, 1868, when a succession of terrible earth- quake waves broke upon the coast of Peru, destroying towns and landing a United States war vessel highland dry. SOMETHING ABOUT PREVIOUS EARTHQUAKEE. The only two modern earthquakes which were attended with anything like the loss of life estimated in the above report took place respectively at Calabrla, in 1783, and atLisbon, in 1755. The first is reported by some historians to have caused over 100,000 deaths ; but the guess was at best only an approximate one, and it is highly probable that the figure was much exag- gerated. The same discrepancy of calcu- lations exists regarding the Lisbon earth- quake. which is generally credited. however, with having destroyed 60,000 people in the space of six minutes. The earliest earthquake of which we read is said to have occurred in Syria, during the reign of Ahab, about 900 B.O., and the second a hundred years later, during the reign of Uzziah. Another is reported by Josephus to have occurred at the time of the battle of Aotium, 31 BO, when Judea was almost devastated. The earthquake recorded in the New Testament as having occurred at the death of Jesus Christ is said to be almost paralleled by a similar disturbance in South America about 1835, which was also accompanied by a sudden darkness. The ancient city of Antioch suffered much from similar catastrophes; indeed, it is recorded. though on rather questionable authority, that. KRAM ATAN. The mountain of Kremstan, which has sunk into the sea,wes a. very high peak, one of a range of mountains running-through the southeasterly part of the island of Sumatra. and was situated at its extreme southeasterly point, about thirty miles from “ Thwart the Way ” Island, and about one hundred miles directly north of the Island of Krakatoa. As the bird flies. this moun- tain would be about one hundred and eighty miles from Batavia. Where it is situated there are no seaports, and vessels make no stoppages.

Tjiringin, another of the destroyed towns, is on the west coast of Java, thirty miles southwest of Bantam, forty miles south of Anjer, on the coast, and about the same distance from Krakatoa. It is an important seaport and is the’residence of many descendants of the former rulers. The principal building in the town is the Regent’s residence. Comparatively few Europeans reside there. Between Kraka- toe and the city of Batavm, on the north- erly coast of the Island of Java‘ there are numerous little Islands and many little Villages, the principal of which is Bantam. BATéVIA . Batevia, the seat of the Dutch Govern- ment in is Eastern dependencies and the residence of the Governor, is situated on the north coast on a strip of low ground.

Thomas Gregg, aged 82, New York, en route to Dobbs' Ferry, found wedged between the rail and joiner work. These are the only ones positively known to be lost.

To-morrow the wreck will be raised, and a thorough examination made. The cfl‘ioers do not believe any more bodies will be found. The engineer who escaped with a few bruises says he cannot explain the cause of the accident. The boilers were new four years ago. The explosion was apparently the result of a hidden defect. A moment pre- vious the steam gauge registered 23 pounds. Her allowance was 50 pounds. While the steamer bore the name of Alexis, she received the machinery and fittings of the old Broadway that was blown up in 1865 within a hundred yards of where the pre- sent explosion occurred. No bodies have been found since yesterday. The belief strengthens that there are none In the wreck,or at most only two or three.

The report of a most deplorable affair, by which the lives of two bright little children were sacrificed by the blunder of a druggist, comes from Mount Brydges, Middlesex County. Mr. Thos. Baxter, a farm'er residing near that village, yester- day sent to Dingman’s drug store for a small quantity of santonine. to be used as worm medicine for his children. The medicine was received and taken home, but in lessthan half an hour after the doses were administered both children died, suffering excruciating agony. It has since been ascertained that the druggist had given them the deadly drug strychnine instead of santonine. The two are not un- like in appearance, but the crystals of strychnine are larger and more distinct. Criminal proceedings will probably be taken against Dingman. In a case of this Kind the druggist may be held liable for manslaughter. The children were aged 3 and 5 years respectively. It is said that the bodies will be exhumed and a post- mortem held.

Ever since the fishery exhibition, when the Princess of Wales appeared at the fair in a simple dress and a small capote bonngt trimmed by herself, says the New York World, the English milllners and modistes â€"every man and woman of themâ€"â€"have experienced the liveliest indignation. But this war in their hearts will not produce a revolution, or in the least-offset the example the royal lady chooses to set. English women adore the Princess, and will certainly adopt such styles as she may introduce or acknowledge. Nor will the effect of the simple toilets of the Princess of Wales be continued to the clear-complexioned daughters of Britain. With the growing tendency among fashionable circles in New York for everything English, it is safe to conclude that English styles in dress will prevail to a great extent here during the fall and winter season. Of course, our own dressmakers and milliners will fight an innovation that means a loss of dollars and cents to them, but many ladies will welcome it just for the novelty of the thing, and surely it wrll’prove a blessed boon of comfort to innumerable heads of families with recent unpleasant Wall street experiences in memory. Ample proofs have been given since the advent of that innocent little capote bon- net, which first fired the English milliners' hearts with revolt, that the Princess is determined on a new order of things, and that her example is already doing its perâ€" fect work. She appeared in a white mus- lin dress. simply trimmed with lace, and wearing a small, white bonnet, at the garden party given by the Prince and her- self at Marlborough. The ladies in atten- dance, for the most part, were attired in short morning dresses. The Princess and withjersey bodices, black silk stockings and high boots. At the Geodwood meet- ing, where heretofore plain toilets have been few and far between, the Princess wore a dress of dark navy-blue silk, exceedingly plain and devoid of orna. mentation, and a black straw bonnet, sim- 1 ply adorned with a small plume of bright scarlet feathers. Even when the occasion is such as to demand an elegant toilet,l ‘simplicity of style characterizes it. An, instance of this is the toilet worn by the same royal lady at the recent drawing- ‘ room, where she presided. This was of white velvet and white satin trimmed with pearls; the train was of the same materials, and drawn together with white roses rest- ‘ ing on green leaves. The Rage lor Silk Stockings. A Saratoga letter says: The fashiona- ble stockings here are black silk. Some girls wear brown and dark blue, but the really stylish damsels wear them as black as night. And it cannot but be admitted that a prettin turned ankle seems to win a dainty gracefulness of molding from this dark yet delicate covering; In the matter of stockings it is to be remarked that it is the very youthful and the most blooming of the gentler sex who wear the sombre tints ; and it is the older specimensâ€"the same who wear Louis Quinze heelsâ€"who incase their more ancient limbs in gaudy tints and still tolerate the elaborate clocking that was so generally favored some years ago. Fortunately, for human happinelas, however, the number of passe young ladies and incl'pient old maids is small, and, therefore, the display (f stock. ings is not a dazzling one. In fact a stranger would probably declare after a mile's walk along the pause that the 'whole town was in mourning. 'And it would take another mile’s walk through the shops to rid him of the idea. 7 Latest Fashion Nola. Sashes remain in favor. (Compiled by Aunt Kate) A Model Girl. 1 saw a girl come into a streetcar the other day, though, who had, I was ready to bet, made her own dress, and how nice she did look 1 She was one of those clean, trim girls you see now and then. She was about 18 years oldI and, to begin with, looked well-ted. healthy and strong. She looked as though she had a sensible mother at home. Her face and neck and ears and ‘ her hair were cleanâ€"absolutely clean. l How seldom you see thatl There was no powder, no paint on the smooth, rounded cheek or firm, dimpled chin; none on the moist red lips; none on the shell-tinted but not too small cars ; none on the hand- somely set neck » rather broad behind, per- haps, but running mighty prettin up into the tightly corded hair. And the hair! It was of a light chestnut-brown and glist- ened with specks of gold as the sun shone on it, and there was not a smear of oil or pomatum or cosmetio' on it ; there was not a spear astray about it, and not a pin to be seen in it. As the girl name in and took her seat she cast an easy, nnembarrassed glance around the car from a well-opened gray eye, bright with the inimitable light of “good condi- tion,” such as you see in some handsome young athletes who are “ in training." There were no tags and ends, hinges, furbe- lows, or fluttering ribbons about her closely- fitting but easy suit of tweed, and as she drew off one glove to look in her purse for a small coin for fare, I noticed that the gloves were not new, but neither were they old ; they were simply Well kept. like the owner and their owner’s hand, which was a solid hand, with plenty of muscle between the 'tendons and with strong but supple fingers.

M Teefy The time when lady travellers enveloped themselves in sleeveless and cumbersome capes of linen and other unhandy garments for a brief journey is a thing of the past, and in their place to-day are travelling cos- tumes and wraps as stylish and trim as can be found among the whole array of fashion- able toilets, designed for any occasion. Polonaises and tunios are just now in high vogue for travelling use, and by a clever arrangement of elastics and books a long French redingote or pelisse, let down to quite cover the handsome silk or velvet skirt underneath, may, at the eni of the journey, and before other baggage has arrived, he re-loopzd and raised so that it closely resembles in its angles and pants the style of a pannier-polonaise.

As the great cattle pastures in the South- western States become "more and more occupied by settlers the outlook for the supply. of beef and cattle grows more com- plicated. In Texas the old pastures will soon be all converted into farming regions, and the home consumption of beef is now so great and growing that during the present year cows have been shipped to those regions from Iowa, Illinois, and even New York and Vermont for breeding purposes. The largest cattle interest at present centresjn Wyoming, whither as many as 1,000 head passed through Chicago in one month. It is stated that Montana. has been drained of matured cattle, so that a 4-year~cld steer can hardly be found in the territory except working oxen. Oregon and Washington Territories have been ex- hausted to supply California, andthat State is ready to takealso all that New Mexico and Arizona can furnish, while in Utah the supply is but little in excess of home consumption. These facts would indicate the probability that much lower prices will not be seen for beef in Eastern markets unless the new industry of shipping dressed beef from the plains shall become success- fully established, and it is noticed that in addition to two establidhments of the kind in Texas, one on a very large scale is to be started in Wyoming in the fall, the com- pany for operating which has already pur- chased a ranch of 40,000 acres, and it is expected that in a year the busi- ness will be in full operation. What efiect the tendency of these facts will produce on the export trade in cattle it is too early to predict, but the demand from England is, or has been, growing less. In 1880 the United States shipped to that country 151,814 cattle, but in 1882 only 47,680. This decrease was due largely to recent high prices. The cattle require- ment of Great Britain, however, is of no small dimensions, as the following imports from various countries in 1882 will show : People can live on a purely vegetable diet. but I advise some meatâ€"not too much. however, as it is an expensive article of food, and not more nutritious than some vegetables I can mention. Upon a calcula- tion made bv me with some care I have found that the thousands of hardworking \ people of this city who live very poorly on ‘ their~ small earnings could for still less money live very well. And I will tell you just what I would do if I were placed in the position of one of these people at the head of a family. I would stint myself a little for a week as to meat and otatoes, and on the next Saturday night, w on I got my pay, I would take home a half-bushel of beans, costing about a dollar and a quarter. With the help of the beans I could easily, economize on potatoes and meat for another week, and then I would take home a halt bushel of peas, costing about a dollar and“ seventyflve cents. Having done this I would already be on the road to true economy, and they do say that economy is wealth. At the end of the third week I should expect to be able to take home a half bushel of rice and two dozen cans of tomatoes. The next present that I would make my family might be a quantity of oatmeal suflicient to breakfast them every morning for a month or so, costing from a dollar and a half to two dollars. After this the road would'be easy. I would always have in my house provisions enough to carry me through a month’s' sickness, if such a misfortune should overtake me, and now, being so well supplied, I could afiord to indulge occasionally in luxuries. I could buya barrel of potatoes or a quarter of beef at a time. At the same time I should expect to find my family healthier and “ wealthier " at the end of the first month than they had ever been before. Of course I should always purchase in large quanti- ties, as by that means I would save about 20 per cent. ; . hut in selecting the most nutritious foods instead of throwing away all my substance on beefsteak and potato es, I should have at least 25 per cent. more.

If any one could furnish the world with a medicine which would insure a long lilo what a demand there would be for it. Some time ago the French Government sent a circular letter to all the districts of that country to collect information as to those conditions of lite which seemed to favor longevity. The replies were very interest- ing. but on the whole rather monotonous; and the general result was 'that longevity is promoted by great sobeiety, regular labor, especially in the open air, short 01 excessive fatigue, easy hours, a well-ofi condition, a philosophical mind in meeting troubles, not too much intellect, and a domestic life. The value of marriage was universally ad- ‘tted, and long-fivsd parents were also nd an important factor. All this agrees with common sense, says an exchange, unless the idea that the intellect is a hin- drance to longevity be considered unreason- able. Some of the most intellectual men have lived to great age. > Christine Nilaaon’a husband’s relatives wouldn’t attend her wedding.
