The Mayor of Dilblin’s Procession Fired Upon by Oi-nngcmcnâ€"flnu and Boy Shot. A Londonderry cablegram dated la-et (Thursday) night says : A large number of Orangemen took possession of the City Hall today to prevent the Lord Mayor of Dubâ€" lin, for whom the hall was engaged, from delivering a lecture upon the franchise. A number of Nationalists from Donegal ar- rived this morning and assembled at the railway station to meet the Lord Mayor. They will entertain him to-night. Police were stationed along the street through which the Lord Mayor passed, and a. troop of lanoers has arrived to prevent a collision between the Orangemen and Nationalists. The seizure of the City Hall has created in- tense excitement. I _ The Lord Mayor upon his arrival was driven thromh the oty escorted by a procession carrying green banners and bands playing Irish aim. He arrived at the hotel safely. During the puksage of the proqeaslon a {nun W83 shot in the face aud a boy received in bullet in his eye. Serious rioting is expected. The Orengemen have planned the union-jack on the Cichell. Some Orangemen stationed themselves upon the roof and waved yellow sashes ; several with sponge rods belonging to cannon have gone inside the building. It is rumored the Orangemen are determined forcibly to hold the hall. The Corporation this morning rescinded its resolution to rent the hall for the Lord Mayor of Dublin. While the procession escorting the Lord Mayor of Dublin was passingthe City Hall the Orangemen fired upon it and threw slates from the windows and roofs. The man previouely reported wounded is dying. The prooeseion dispersed after the Lord Mayor entered Roddis’ Hotel. but a. crowd after- wards congregated around the City Hall, which they stoned, breaking the windows. The police then changed the mob and cleared the stream. The military were called out, and the lauoera are parading the streets. There is intense anxiety through- out the city. 8 p.m.â€"â€"The Omngemen have vacated the City Hall and withdrawn from the vicinity. The Mayor has issued a. procla- mation appealing to the people to refrain from violence in retaliation. 11 p.m.â€"I‘he city has resumed its nor- mal quietude. Mr. Dawson, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, delivered his lecture this evening at the National Institute. The man and boy wounded this afternoon are in a precarious condition. One Orangeman hgs been arrested on the charge of shooting 1; em. Mr. Brondhursl Elected President- Legislation Proposed. A Paris denpatoh says: Mr. Henry Broadhurst, M.P., was elected Honorary President of the Labor Conference. Ad- dressing t-he meeting he said he hoped the delegates would adopt practical resolutions. He pointed out the importance of the workmen of all nations being in constant communication with each other, and said trades unions in England were making slow but: sure program, and that workmen on the continent. might rely on English support. At the evening session 100 dele- ganea were preeent. Several French speakers urged the workmen not to aban- don the field of politics. which they main- tained afforded the only means for (strugâ€" giing against; capital. It; was suggested that it was possible to eatablish intrernazional leginlation, especially for the protection of children. One extremist. advised the em- ployment of force, from which the foreign delegates diswnted. They doubted than universal lrgislation was feasible owxng to international competition, They preferred the lawful progress of revolution by suc- cessive reforms enabling workmen to enter Parliament, and thus assist in making laws. The proceediugn Lhroughcun were orderly and dispaasionate. A Pronounced (rum the Pulpit by n Tt-nlpernlmf‘ clergyman. A Cleveland (0) despatch says: Thei trial of the suit of Frank E. Bronson} against Rev. John Brant, for $30,000 1 damages, was commenced yesterday in the ‘ Court of Common Pleas. Mr. Bronson was some time since proprietor of a. drug store in the village of Oberlin, where, on account of numerous colleges there located, the sale of intoxicating liquors was strictly forbid- den. He was several times accused of selling whiskey contrary to the wishes of the community, whereby he incurred their ill-will, which finally culminated in the firing and destruction of his store. The present suit grows out of a sermon preached by the rev. defendant on February 24th, 1882, and which was afterwards published in the Oberlin News, of which the following is a brief extract: “ The ghastly deeds of the past shall stretch out their skinny hands and punish thee. Good men shall breathe freely at thy death. Thy monu- ment shall be a. testimony that plague is stayed, and as thy guilty spirit is borne on the blast towards the gates of hell. the hideous shrieks oi those whom thou hast ruine‘d shall pierce thee.” Bronson claims he only sold liquors as medicine, and that on account of the sermon his character and business have been irretrievably ruined. Therefore he prays for damages. An lnjln'cd Husband Kills Iii: Wife’s Pan-amour. A Betavis. N. Y., despstch says ; Johnson L. Lynch. a. lawyer from Utics, was shot and killed by E. N. Rowell, of this place, at his house last evening. He arrived from Utics, and repaired to Rowell‘s house. Mr. Rowell has for some time suspected his wife of infidelity. She is described as a. beautiful woman, 27 years of age. Her family formerly lived in Utica, but re- moved to this place two yesrs ago. Mr. Roviell 1s a. member of the firm of Palmer & Rowell, paper-box manufacturers, who formerly conducted business in U tics. Lynch and Mrs. Rowell had tea. together in the diningâ€"room, the wife supposing that her husbsnd had left on a. business trip yesterday morning. After tea. Lynch and the woman went to her apartments up-stairs. It is supposed that Bowel], who secreted himself in the house, received un- questionable proofs of his suspicions. The enraged husband approached through the hell and fired several shots, killing Lynch almost instantly. Rowell then gave him- self up. 3101‘ AT LONDONDEBBY. The latest natural curiosity at the Brit- ish Royall Aquarium at Westminster is a. baby wslzus from the coast of strsdor.‘ The baby walrus lies in a. large wooden box. and is extremely docile. He allows visitors to stroke him, and does not attempt to bite them. Curiously enough, in coming south he has caught a. severe cold and sneezes violently. He also yawns and stretches his flsppers in company in a mannerwhich i9,,of course, excusable in one ot his tender age. His food, in default of raw salmon, for which he has a. particular weakness, consists of mussels, of which he consumes about eight pounds a. day. He drinks nothing at all, not even water. It is said that he is fond of human society, and if left slone becomes restless, growls and otherwise shows his displeasure. Agentlemsn of Santa. Barbara. has in his cabinet of curiosities several sets of false teeth, exhumed from the graves of aborigines on the Santa. Barbara. Islands. They are formed each from a. shell which was fashioned to fill the roof of the mouth, and could be adjusted outside of the gums. These false teeth are perfectly formed and easily MINING. 'l‘llE LABOI" CflNFERENCE. A D KUGGIST’S 9001", A IIUSB AND’S BE VE NGE. The Baby \anrus. A last (Wednesday) night's London cablegrsm says: The excitement is uns- bsted concerning the explosions. All day boys have been cryingspecisls with the “Latest News of the Great Fenian Out- rage.” Londoners are unanimous in putting the blame on the Irish Nationalists. The St. James Gazette says: “ The culprits will be found among the Irish patriots. and the Instruments will be found to have been imported from the United States ” Mr. Devitt’s lecture increases the suspicion. He cried, “The battle must be fought in England, and fought it will be.” As at the time of the Phoenix Park murders, enti- Irish threats are muttered in the streets. THE WORK DONE BY FENIANS. The head of the explosives department of the War Office was closeted for hours with the Home Secretary. The tunnels are guarded by soldiers and police. A careful search was made on the scene of the explo- sion at Prsed street. A hole was found in the brickwork not larger than a. man’s hat. with crumbled masonry lying about. There were no ventilation snslts in the tunnels, therefore the explosive must have been carried by hand or thrown from the window of a. train. The gas-pipe was twisted into the shape of a. large half-moon. The tale- graph wires hang in festoons along the wall. The officials are all convinced that the worklwas done by Fenians. THE SCENE OF THE WBECK. Sir Edward Watkin,0hsirmsn,inspected the wreck. Handkerchiefs, bags, hats, and umbrellas were found smeared with blood. There were large blood patches on the floors and the broken doors of the carriages. The rubbish heaps being annslyzed gave scraps of plaster of Paris and bits of a. metslic substance. The passengers describe how they saw an intensely white light, then fell back stunned and were carried through the tunnel, bruised and bleeding, half dead with terror. THE UNDERGROUND EXPLOSIONS. Further Particulars of the Great Disaster. THE SCENES OF THE WRECK. Excitement in London and its Effect on the Irish Cause. There is no clue to the perpetrators of the outrage. All the deteenves are busy. The haunts of Irish Nationalists are closely watched. A sort of panic reigns in London. Investigations made by the Scientific advisers to the War Department led to the conclusion that nitro-glycerme in some form was the agent used in both cases. Later inquiries confirm the report that a. large number of people were injured. In addition to over thirty treated at the hos- pital,s. large number were attended by private surgeons. One of the victims, a corporal o! hussnrs, says he was talking witha. friend on the train near Prned street, when there was suddenly a. very bright flesh, immec‘iistely followed by a terrible report. He was struck and almost knocked insensible. When the train arrived at Edgewere road he staggered across the platform and was picked up by nsoldier. He remembers nothing more. This is only one o f many similar narra- tives. The police warned the railroad oflicials three months ago that they had received advices from America of threatened explo- sions like those which occurred last evening, and precautxona were taken to guard against them. The explosions have caused intense excitement in Irish circles. The Irish almost unanimously think that the out- rages were due to the deliberately planned machinations of the enemies of the national party of Ireland, who intend to create an anti-Irish feeling in England. It will b next to impossible, they think, to have a perfectly impartial jury to try O‘Donnell now. It is also remarked that the ex- plosions occurred about the moment when Mr. Dewitt was opening his address in St. James’ Hall. GLASGOW, Oct. 31.â€"â€"Preca.utions have been taken here against explosions on the rail- ways. All banks, public buildings and prisons are closely watched. Extra wanders are placed around the prisoners when taking exercise. The Prince 01 Wale! m the Closing Ceremonial. A London _cablegram says: ‘There was an immense attendance yesterday at the closing of the_ Flshgries Exhlbition. The ___ 1.L,An._ Prince of Wales spoke, and stated that the Queen requested him to express her hope that the exhibition would be of lasting benefit to the fishing population of the Kingdom. He said that after all the expenses were paid a substantial surplus would remain, which should be devoted to improving the condition of the fishermen of the country. and the promotion of the interests of the fisheries, in order that the calamities in-j oident to the fisherman’s life might thereby be alleviated. The Prince said he was gratified at being able to continue the work of his father in giving opportunities for the peaceful emulation of all nations; thus diverting men’s minds from the inter- national rivalries by which all suffer to those by which all gain. He de- sired to see in these buildings a hygienic ‘ exhibition in 1884; one of the progress of inventions of 1885; and he propmaed hold- ing here a Colonial exhibition in 1886. Sir W. Harcourt, Home Secretary, expressed the thanks of the Government tothe Prince for his efforts on behalf of the exhibition. NO CLUE TO THE PERPETRATORS THE FIBHERIES EXHIBITION. An Albany, N.Y., telegram says: A pretty young girl told a. plaintive story before Justice Clute to-dey, complaining that dashing Herry Finklestein, of Troy, had won her affections. and under promise of buying her a. trou‘seeau borrowed $40 from her. The girl afterwards learned that her Harry was engaged to seventeen other girls, of whom he had borrowed similar sums, so the match was broken off and an attempt made to recover the money.

NO CLUE TO THE PEBPETRATORS. IRISH OPINION ON THE AFFAIR. Engaged to Eighteen Girls. Suspected Poisoning of a Young Married Woman. Evidence Given an the Coroner’s Inquest â€"§talement of the Bridegroom. A last (Friday) night‘s Flesherton despatoh says: The sudden death of a young bride, only a few weeks married, at Eugenia, near here, under most suspicious circumstances. has caused aflutter of ex- citement in the township of Artemisia sel- dom if ever equalled before. As the mystery which shrouded her death has not yet been satisfactorily explained, although a coroner and twelve jury- men attempted to solve it, there is considerable speculation as to the real cause of death, and though several theories as to how the young woman mether death are advanced, they all tend to show that she was poisoned by stryohnine, administered by some party or parties. Rosanna Leppard was living with her father near Eugenia, about two miles from this place, four years ago, when she ran away from home. She was then 20 years of age. Nothing more was seen of her till two years later, when she returned with one John Rogers, who represented himself to be her husband. This marriage her people supposed was a bogus one, for they had not lived there many months when they left the place together, and in a few months she returned alone. ' MARRIED AGAIN. Rosanna remained With her father, James Leppard, till May last, when she went to Cook Tait’s home, near Eugenia, where she remained a month. She then returned to her home, and Cook Tait acquainted her father of their desire to be married. Before the matrimonial arrange- ments were completed, however, it was agreed that the girl’s life should be insured for the benefit of the intended bridegroom. Some time after this Cook Tait and Rosanna went to Meaford, where she was examined by adoctor, and policies for a $3,000 endowment in a Toronto mutual concern were given to the parties by Mr. Purdy, of Eugenia. The girl soon after accompanied Tait to Toronto, where he says they were married by Rev. Mr. Mac- donnell. The couple then went to Free- mont, Michigan, to visit Tait‘s brother, and after remaining there some time returned to Flesherton on the 23rd of October last. She went to live With her father again and he went to live with his brother. Now comes the strange part of the story. She appeared to be in good health up to Monday last, when she was seized with vomiting, 8. pain in the stomach, and other symptoms of poisoning. Cook Tait came to see her on Monday evening, and took tea with his wife and her mother. She walked a part of the way home with him in the evening. She then went to bed, and during the night , her mother was awakened by “ a loud yell,” as she expressed it, and hurrying to J her daughter, found berm her bed IN THE AGONIES OF DEATH. She was unable to speak, and had several yfits. She seemed to know she was dying, for when her mother applied not flannels to her body and asked her if she felt better, she only replied, “Let me pray.” Her sudden death caused suspicion among the neighbors, and it was whispered around that her friends know more about it than they cared to tell. A resident magistrate, however, communicated th facts of the case to Mr. Frost, County Crown Attorney, at Owen Sound, who instructed Dr. Christie to hold an inquest, which took place on Friday last, and some interesting‘facts were elicited which tend to throw alittle light on the mystery. The testimony of the witnesses forms a strong chain of circumstantial evidence, which, it would seem, if a little more light is thrown on the case, will implicate one or more parties in connection with the young woman’s death. It was shown that Cook Tait had in his possession SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES REVEALED. THE FLESHERTON MYSTERY. A BOTTLE 017‘ STRYOHNINE, which he told one of the witnesses he had purchased in the States, and that he had got it for several purposes. In his evidence before the Coroner’s jury Cook Tait was very reticent and cautious, He evaded giving a direct answer to many of the ques- tions asked him, and pleaded as an excuse that his memory failed him. He said he had never given deceased any medicine and did not know the cause of her death. Her life was insured for his benefit, and in the event of her death the money was to be paid to him. The policy was made out in 1 her maiden name, as they were not mar- ried until some time after it was issued He knew before he married the deceased that she was pregnant. She had had acou- sultation with a doctor, who had told her that she was in a delicate condition. He had heard her complain of sickness a week before she died, but her mother said she only had a cold. Dr. Sproule made apost mortem examination of the body, and re- ported to the jury that he had found all the parts in a healthy condition. From the symptoms of the case be supposed that deceased had come to her death by poison- ing. and the kind of poison that suggested itself to his mind was strychnine. He had preserved the stomach intact in order to have an analysis made. A nrsrsmoos BLACK EYE. Mrs. Leppard, the mother of the girl, limbs were quite still when she was dying. but that she struggled a little and threw the clothes off her on the bed where she ‘ was lying. There was nobody in the house at the time but her other daughters and she did not know the cause of her death. Mrs Leppard had a black eye when she appeared at the inquest to be examined. She stated that she had got the black eye while attend- ing to deceased. While she was in one of the fits she had thrown her arms about and struck her. Robert Hannah stated in his evidence that ho had seen deceased with Cook Tait after they returned from the United States at Munshaw's Hotel, where he gave her some wine in a glass. He saw him order it and hand it to her, but he did not see him put anything in it. was DECEASED POISONED? The evidence tends to prove that the unfortunate young woman was poisoned, but by whom, and for what purpose, it to the Attorney-General asking permission to send the stomach of deceased to Toronto to have an analysis of it made. In the meantime. the inquest has been adjourned for two weeks to hear the result of the analysis before giving a verdict. The repu- tation of the Leppard family is not a very enviable one. They live near Eugenia in a miserable little dwelling, and one o! the juryxnen in authority for the statement 1â€".‘Iâ€"A -. .449»: Hews G"< P i-dOl-J stated in her evidence that her daughter’s , cannot yet he said.

A Washington telegram says: Miss Mol- lie O'Hara was charged in the Folios Court to-day with throwing vitriol into the face of Wm. C. Zeigler. She said that Zeigler had been “ keeping company ” with her for about a. year, than they were to have been married last May, but he then pretended that he was not rfaady. “I went; into the country on May let,” said she, ” and he then said thus he would marry me in October. He came out regularly to see m'é. In August he took me to a doohor who gave me a. powder, whloh I took, but it: caused me so much pa-in I would not take the pillu the doctor left for me. Zeigler then told me that he would flake me to Baltimore and marry me, but afterwards said that if he did it would pre- vent him getbmg some money which would be dlvided between him and the other children in the spring. He then promised to marry me in May.” . A, ,AA L__ Last Monday night he went to see her and again refused to marry her. and told her he had no afieotion for her. Yesterday she went to his house and waited for him, with a. mug containing the vitriol. When he came out she asked him where he was going. He said, “ To a. wedding.” and asked if she had not; been to see the doctor. She told him she had not and would not. but she had some stuff for neuralgia. in the cup and told him to smell in. which he did. “ 'flmn I threwElâ€"Jgfisrtfifi in his face,” she said. “and he hollered, ‘Oh, Mollie, my BYE-ll” :1 H, 01 Ann L»:I fiZHe’igleicnhEth is said‘flosh one eye in childhood.

Mul- queen was seen With a bloody razor in his bond, and than he disappeared, but was caught a. few miles from the city. The affruy grew out of a feud between the two, Glasgow having whipped Mulqueen a few days previously in another saloon.

SAL“ PINE CGOKING THE DELICIOUS BIVALVES‘ Matters Pertinent to the Domestic Circle Discussed. Innovations m Weddingsâ€"flow to Clean Paint, Remove Iron Rust, etc. (Compiled by Aunt IKate.) New Features in Weddings. There are fashions in weddings as in dress. Some years ago what was supposed to be the English style was introduced. The peculiarity of this style lies in the absence of bridesmaids, the presence of a best man, and the substitution of ushers for groomsmen, The best man followsthe groom from the veetry and holds the groom’s hat during the ceremony. But, after all, this does not sem to be the genuine English style. It is rather a sort of compro- raise, for mild Anglo-maniacs, between the British and the American method. The true, through-and-through English style requires, besides a best man and ushers, that the bride shell walk up the aisle un- gloved, holding a family prayer-book. As the Anglomaniao is an imitation, an imita- tion prayer-book will probably do for ladies whose families don’t use a prayer-book. An innovation in weddings, which has, . however, nothing especial to do with the ‘ English or American style, is to strew the middle aisle of the church with autumn leaves. This picturesque feature was introduced at a recent wedding in New Jersey, the rustling leaves accompanying the soft wedding music as the bridal party approached the altar. But the most startling novelty was recently tried at a wedding in Sing Sing. As a rival to the groom’s best man the bride had a. “ best girl.” The " best girl " solves the problem what to do with the best man after the ceremony, as he had the best girl to escort down the aisle. For this reason the new feature may become popular. It is now not uncommon to have ‘young girls in Kate Greenaway costume to attend at the altar during the ceremonyâ€"New York Sun. Iron Rust. The following recipes for removing iron rust will be found helpful : Powdered chalk and soft-soap applied to mildew (in linen or cotton goods). and laid in the grass in the sunshine, Will remove it. Repeat if the first application is not successful. This remedy has never failed. Iron rust can be completely removed from white goods by lemon juice and a warm iron. Place the , smoothing iron in the lap, lay the stained. } part on the face of the iron, and squeeze the lemon juice on the stain; continue to wet it asflthe heat dries it, and in a short time the rust will disappear. Dissolve two heaping teaspoonfuls or chloride of lime in half a pailtul of boiling water ; strain, and plunge the mildewed article in while hot; stir constantly until cool, and rinse in plenty of cold water. 4 Good W'ays of Making Soups and (Booking Oyners. * All white soups should be enriched and thickened by pouring them hot on the well- beaten yolks of two or more eggs. A very fine flavor can be given to most soups by pumng in a. cup of thick sour cream in the bureau first, then well mixing the meat soup into thxs just before serving. A bouquet of herbs consists of parsley, sweet herbs, two bunches of thyme. a. tnfle of awash basil, a few bay leavea, two anves and am blades of mace. It; is especially used for French soups, and may be added to most of these recipes, if preferred. If sugar is wished for soups, it must be browned, both to glve it 0010: and to make it richer. Pub in a frying-pan over the fire two large spoonfuls of brown sugar ; when in melts add a. pint of water, and boil a. few mmutea. It will keep ten days, and one large spoonful will be found sufficient for a. soup of medium nize. THE LADIES’ COLUMN. One of the nicest as well as easiest methods of frying oysters is to dry them first thoroughly by drawing, afterward laying on a. napkin, covering with another until all juice is absorbed. To every quart allow the well-beaten yolks of one very large or two small eggs ; stir in the oysters until they are covered, grate over them a. suspicion of nutmeg, if preferred, turn into a. dish of cracker crumbs and tees around until well coeted. Brown in a. spider of boiling lard or butter, and salt when done, otherwxse they will not brown. Oysters on Toastâ€"This is a. very rich and palatable dish, serving equally well for luncheon or tea. - In a. stew pan boil and carefully skim the juice from the oysters, setting aside to keep hot. To every quart allow a. small tablespoonful of butter, which must be heated very hot in a. frying pan ; put in the oyeterle, stir constantly until shrivelled a. little at the edges ; season and pour over slices of nicely-browned bread that have been arranged flat on a. large dial]; pour over all as much of the hot liquor as may he wished. Okra. Soupâ€"Gut in small pieces two pounds of lean beef ; skin and squeeze out the seeds and cores from a. quarter of a. peek of perfeoely ripe tomatoes; add to these one tiny onion out fine, and a. small lump of butter ; put into a. tin or porcelain vessel (never iron, for it ruins the flmvor). Cook slowly for half an hour, stirring ocea- eionally; then add the okra, which must cut into small slices, and the quantity vary- ing to suit me taste. Stir very often for ten minutes, then add a. gallon of warm water, any herbs or spices desired and some green peppers; boil slowly, stirring and meshing the okra. until the quantity of tomatoes. water. etc., is reduced one-half ; adding Lima. beans and corn as wished. J ueb before serving, add butter the size of an egg salt and pepper to taste. Oysters Stewed.â€"Put two quarts of ‘ oysters with a little of their liquor into a" bell-metal kettle over a. furnace. As soon as they come to a. boil remove the scum and stir in s tsblespoonful of butter well creamed with a. very scant one of flour, a. trifle of powdered mace, and pepper to tweets; let them simmer gently, and stir constantly until the butter is dissolved ; as soon as well mixed and hot, but not bailing, stir in a. pint and a. half of very rich milk. and let it boil hsrd, stirring all the time until done; just before serving ‘ add the salt. In all cooking that contains either milk or cream the salt should be put us after taken from the stove, other- wise there in danger of curdling. Inatten- tion to this seemingly trifling point will even cause the freshest milk to turn in cooking. Oyster Soup With Gratinâ€"Boil two quarts of oysters in their own liquor in a bell- anal skillet, it attainable ; it not), use porcelain.

A distinguished physician of New York. whose habit is to smoke five or six cigars every evening. but none at all during the day, has long pursued the plan of not smoking during the month of October. His idea is, he says, to allow his system to recuperate thirty days annually. The effect of tobacco in his case is a slight acceleration of the movement of the heart. This acceleration becomes clearly defined by the end of every September, but ceases entirely at the be ginningof November, after his period of abstinence, leaving him in good condition for another year’s wrestle With the weed. Neat boxes of stained wood were piled in rows on the showcases of a Broadway tobadoonist’s store yesterday. Inside the stained boxes were other boxes of polished white metal. These were divided in the middle by two- perforated partitions of metal placed close together, and containing a wet sponge between them. On one side of the partition were stacked fine cigars, and on the other fragrant smoking tobacco was loosely strewn. "This is the newest thing in the refrigerator line," said the tobacconist. “ It’s a refrigerator for tobacco as you see. It keeps cigars and tobacco fresh and aromatic for an age. In dry weather you stick a wet sponge in the par- tition to keep things moist. In wet weather you take it out to keep them from getting too moist.”-â€"New Yorlt Sun. . o A man of letters was smoking and chat- ting with a physician on 9. Hudson River ferry-boat, when a stranger stepped up and asked for a light. “ Let me give you a match," replied the man of letters, adding. after his petitioner had Withdrawn : “ I don’t know how you feel about it, doctor, but, for my part, I very much dislike to put the end of my cigar hack into my mouth after it has been fingered by Tom, Dick or Harry. I always carry matches with me. and make it a point to offer one of them instead.” " And quite right you are." said the doctor. “I believe that some of the worst diseases can be conveyed by one man to another through .the contact of his fin- gers with a borrowed cigar. I personally know of a case where varioloid was trans- mitted by means of a two-dollar bill' and I firmly believe that varioloid and things much worse can pass from a man’s fingers into a cigar, and thence into the smoker of it.” The “ Kit Carson tree ” on the ranch of Henry Kellogg, near Las Animas, 001., is twenty-nine feet five inches in circumfer- ence two feet from its base.

True, our newspapers are full of murders, burglaries, thefts, and;I other crimes, but not one-tenth of those found their way into the papers in the old- times. People could not realize the amount of evil among them. Such realiza- tion is the first step to the cure. A man now can seldom be robbed and murdered without its being known throughout the length and breadth of the land. In the Dick Turpin days of England how many unknown crimes of the road must have been committed, when there was neither live paper. live reporter nor live telegraph to make it knownl Our papers tc-day have a great deal to say of the corruption of the Legislatures, State and National, and of abuses of those in power. Probably more or less truth is involved in such state- , ments. What opportunity in any land had l the rank and file of the people 200 years ago ‘ to know about what went on in high places and governing bodies, save by word of mouth? Brint such matter in a paper? Had there been a paper to print it and an editor daring enough to print it. he would not have seen 24 hours of liberty after the first issue. It is doubtful if ever he would be seen afterwards.

The German-French could be written upon on both sides, while of the Spanish-Italian only the inner ser- vice was available. The smooth white side of this latter was called album, to distin- guish it from the stained exterior ; and as the "Spanish-Italian parchment, being stouter and cheaper than the other, was generally used {or volumes intended as repositories for scraps and literary collec- tions, the meaning of the word album broadened out into its modern signification.
