' Ini 'Maxwell says that Preller was sit ering om‘ a private. complaint for w lich he treated him. Preller was suffer- in‘g’huch. and Maxwell proposed an opera- tion, for his relief, and as it was painful, advised Preller to take chloroform. He agreed to do to. Maxwell continues: " During the day I purchased fourounces of chloroform. which was standing in a bottle on the edge of my washstand where I .was washing some surgical instruments on Sunday afternoon. In washing the instruments I overturned the bottle of chloroform and it went headlong into the basin, the cork coming out and all but about one ounce and a quarter or an ounce and a half going down In the sink. This was pro- bany 3 o'clock and after getting my instru- ments readwaent out to secure some more chloroform. I went to the drug store. I don’t know where, but the store near the hotel (Fernow‘s) and asked for the chloro- form. When I got the chloroiorm II repaired to my room. Preller had been in and out of my room and his own all after- noon. About5I began the operation. I administered the chloroloxmin the usual way. holding a saturated cloth to the nose. Preller passed through the first stage all right. It took several moments, I don't know exactly how long; then he entered the second stage. and here the terrible result came. I discovered too late tha the was dying. Imagine ,my horror when the fact dawned upon me. I was wild with fright, but had presence of mind enough to. :out the shirt and undershirt from the body, and getting a wet towel I beat - him around the neck and shoulders for a half hour or more.

Ididn't know what to do, except drink. and'I drank freely; I drank everything I could getâ€"wine, whiskey, everything. I put the body into my trunk. from which I had removed everything. I put it in the trunk an hour after Preller’s death. What was‘done beside this I have no recollection of.

A Silver Creek, N.Y.. deepatch says»: On the last aeolian of a Lake Shore freight train passing here at 1 o'clock on Wednes- ‘ day afternoon were three tramps stealing a ride.

They begged to he allowed to remain until the train stopped, but he told them with an oath to get off or he would kick them ofi. Two of them succeeded in alighting safely. but the third fell under the wheels. His left foot was taken nearly off, his right foot badly bruised, the left hip lacsrated, left shoulder terribly crushed, and his head cut. He appeared to be about 18 years of age. and gave his name as Edward Brown. of Dunnvalle. Ont. He said he was working toward Chicago. where he had a brother. He had a bundle of clothes with him and about $10 in money. His wounds were dressed here. and he was to have been removed to Buflalo, but died before the train started.

John Bright on Bellglous Influences. A last (Wednesday) night’s Landon cable says: Mr. John Bright, speaking at a mission bazaar to-Light, said that the Sun- day schools contribute much ‘towards the development of the moral feelings. and that the work performed by them was of more importance at the present moment than it had been at any previous period in English history. The poWers ol! monarchs were lessening. and the influence of the aristocracy was fading away. The only power that was growingâ€"a power that would never henceforth be limitedâ€"was the power of the people. He claimed. therefore, that the most pressing need at the present time was political education, by which there could be cultivated in the minds of the people a sense of their moral responsibility. They should be taught that labor would have its just award, and that the wealthy be permitted to enjoy their riches in security. . ‘ ’ A Washington despateh says: Mr. Tucker, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is the author of the proposed constitutional amendment prohibition polygamy in the United States, which will be pressed at once in the H use.

The Bill increased the powers of a private gas company, whereas the municipal authorities wish to take the task of lighting the town into their own hands in order to be as economical as pos- sible. In the course of the debate Mr. Sexton said that Irish private business ought'to be suspended until the Home Rule question had been settled, and that at any rate the Bill under consideration ought to be dealt with by a committee at Irishmen instead of Englishmen. Lord John Mac- ners. Oonservativa. said that the debate shownd the temper with which the business would be conducted in the Irish Parlia- ‘ ment. Mr. Dillon retorted that the Irish Parliament would at least be campesed of members who knew where Dundalk is situated. The Bill was supported by the Conservatives, and by Mr. Leonard H. Courtney, Liberal, while Messrs. Glad- stone, Ohilders and Stansfield, of the Min- istry, and all the Parnellites opposed the measure. The announcement of the result was received with loud cheers by the Irish members. Mr. John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland, moved the second reading at the ‘- Arms Act. He explained that the Act was intended to restrict the possessing. carry- ing, and importing of arms. Nobody in a proclaimed district could carry arms with- out a license. Although cases of outrage had greatly diminished in numbers in 1881. it was necessary to prolong the Act or that year in view of the present excited state of party feeling in the north of Ireland. No Act could prevent the com- mission 0! a deliberately planned murder. The true use of the Act was to prevent the growth 0! the practice of carrying arms on the common 0! fairs, markets, procee- sions, and other gatherings. In cmclneion he asked all lovers of order to support the measure. Mr. Parnell complained that the powors of the Act had been injuriouer used in two directions. First. to harass and annoy Nationalists ; second. to deprivs farmers 0! guns intended for scaring birds away from growing crops. (Conservative laughter.) He urged that the Act he applied impartially in disarming Orangemen as well as Nationalists. (0heers.) Orangemen had shown by the acts and by the utterances of their leaders that they were difiposed to slaugh- ter. or to attempt to slaughter. those who difiered from them in political opinion. (Irish cheers.) He would not say that Lord Salisbury, Lord Churchill and Mr. Chem bsrlain really intended to promote murder, but their words would certainly have no other. rflect. Mr. Bradlaugh condemned Lord Churchill’s speeches in Ulster as‘ dangerous and treasonable Lord Randolph Churchill repudiated the insinuation that he had incited the people of Ulster to murder.

An Important Bevelnuon. In making the survey of the proposed Whirlpool Railway at Niagara Falls, which will run along the bank at the edge of the river from the inclined railway to the Whirlpool, the engineers have run across some facts which will surprise scientists. When the survey was made in 1851 for the Suspension Bridge of the Great Western Railway, it was claimed from the surveys that the river was higher at the Suspen- sion Bridge than at the foot of the Falls, and this theory was accepted. it being elaimed that " the immense pressure from the Falls carried the water up hill.” The present survey. which gives the first levels ever taken through the water line, explodes the np-hiil theory, and shows that from the foot of the inclined railway to the Canti- lever Bridge, two miles, the incline is six feet, and from the Cantilever Bridge to the Whirlpool, a little less than a mile, is 54% feet, thus giving thewater the terrible [owe it attains in gaing through the Whirl- pooL A pretty and sensible way of treating a dress shirt! than has become worn around uhe- bottom is to out off a quarter oi an inch. bind the narrow braid, and then border with a wide heronles, Tinan or giant braid, allowing the lower edge no fall even with the narrow binding.

She was born in Wis- casset, Maine, and about twenty years ago she married Henry 0. Hanan, oi Gorbam, NH. 0! five children born to them three boys died in infancy, and a daughter of 17 and a son of 9 are etill liv- lng. Mr. Nason died quite suddenly after a very brie: but violenn illness in Septem. ber, 1881. There was an insurance upon his life, and upon this Mrs. Naéon and her children lived until about a year ago, when it was exhausted. Mrs. Nason’s daughter Maud. now 17 years old, is a young woman of gel e noticeable personal charms. About a year ago Donald 0. Parker, a bright, popular young man, Well known in society here, begin paying attentions to Maud. Although both were young. Parker being only 22 years old, the courtship was a briet one, and in the tall they were married. The young couple hegen'heeping house with Mrs. Nason. Everybody agrees that it was a happy household. Mr. Parker manifested genuine affection for Mrs Nason as Well as for his wife, and every- thing went smoothly until February last. Early in that month young Par- ker, who was an expert etenographer, obtained an excellent situation at a good salary in Enilaoelphia. He was abouu no start With his Wife [or that city when he was taken sudcenly ill. He grew rapidly worse.and within three days he died in great agony. Startling reports about the cause of the young man’s death obtained circulation at once. Even the unprofes- sional trienus of Parker who had assisted at his bedside were made suspicious by hi- symptoms and by other circumstances. E. L. Hatch, who was with the patient during the greater part of his sickness, says that the young man complained continually of an intense burning sensation all through his body. His thirst was insatiable,and finally he sofiered irom severe contractions of the' limbs. that amounted almost to con- vulsions. Hatch says that Mrs. Nuson asked him to tell Dr. Mead, the attending physician, that Don had sufiered such spells when he was boarding with him several months ago. Hatch refused. because it was not true. Mrs. Nason pre- pared all the food taken by the sick man. He could retain none of it. Mr. Hatch and another friend, named Nicholson. who was With Parker during a portion at his illness, were the first ones to urge the necessity for an investigation. They communicated their suspicions to the parents of Parker, and the letter at once demanded an autopsy. Mr. Hatch says thst Dr. Mend opposed the requast tor an autopsy. He says : " Dr. Mead took me into a room, locked the door and put the key in his pocket. Then he called me to account for what he had heard I had sent about him. He wanted me to under- stand that he held a prominent position. He added, ' You had better not carry this thing too far. I know Gov.

Ah l if poor Don was only here, if he could only speak, how quick he would say. “Never mind ma, you are good to me.” Among other things. I know that if what Don took that night was poison, he never knew it. He never would take it on purpose. He was too happy with his darling wife. and it seems so hard to see my poor Maud now grieving her life away day after day. She feels her lose more to-day than ever before.

Allefforts to hush the ugly stories or to smother investigation were unavailing. for State’s Attorney Kimball took hold of the - case, and began a oarelul inquiry.

At the third lantare the royal procession entered, and it was then seen that though the Queen’s face was flushed, and she seemed struck with the gorgeous spectacle before her, there was no indication of nerv- ous trepidation.

The clear, swaet voice of the girl Queen. under perfect control, as for the first time she delivered a royal speech in the House of Lords. together‘ with every incident of the cere- monial, has been described by many his- torians. Most of us have read that the Qaeen wore a white satin robs “ decorated with jewels and gold, the Garter on her armhand, 'a mantel of crimson velvet on her shoulders ;" also a " diadem and neck- lane of ccstly‘ diamonds."

V The question, what'is thecost of a pound or butter, or bushel of wheat, 01' ton ol ensilage, or measure of any farm product, is much like the question, what is the length of apiece of string. or size of a piece of chalk. The cost will depend altogether on the circumstances. Any farmer may find out what it costs him to produce a certain thing, by keeping an accurate account of work and other out- lays. But this may be no. guide for his neighbor, who may be a poorer or a better farmer, have poorer or better soil, or worse or better luck, as the phrase goes. It is possible. under specified conditions, to approximate cost, or strike an average; but every change of conditions will vary the cost. The man who gets 75 bushels of corn to the acre may spend no more on the acre than the man who gets only 30 bushels. The difference in the cost per bushel is apparent. So the man who makes 300 pounds of butter per cow pro- duces much cheaper per pound than the man who gets only‘ 150 pounds per cow. It matters not what it costs other people. The main point for each is to determine what it costs him. It-the cost is insuffi- ciently below the market price. he has a profit ; otherwise, he terms it at a loss. The Golden Pine. The most golden evergreen in our gar- den is the Japanese golden pine. (Pinue massoniana aurea.) There is nothing half- way about it, nothing sickly, nothing washy, nothing undecided ; at this time of. the year its leaves are completely yellow, and the whole plant dense, bright golden masses. Our plants, I believe, are the largest in the country, and have aflorded the ecions from which the plants dissemi- nated from the Arnold arboretum and Kissena nurseries have been raised. They are growing in sandy land, andin an open situation, and appear to be perfectly hardy. The sun-ray pinesâ€"the white variegated form 0! the same speciesâ€"did not do well with us; they lingered a few years and died.â€"‘-Country Gentleman. It Pays to Brain. A farmer writes: I once planted a four- teen-acre field in corn, and got about two hundred bnshels‘ of soft corn and nnbbins; and not more than one-quarter of a crop at stalks. I told my wife that I would never plant that field in corn again until it was tiled ; and I did not. A few years alter- ward, having put in nearly 300 rods of tile in the same field, I again 'planted it with corn. The season was very unfavorable for corn. but I got more than 110 bushels of sound cars per acre, and one at the finest crops of stalks I ever raised. I have had several similar experiences. Notes. Remember your horses cannot tell you of their ills and pains. It is your duty to watch fir them. _ In 3 all diseases Where acute. pain' is 'evineeaby yi’olchceor rolling. and'eepecially in' some intestinal aflections where the intensity of suffering produces almost uncontrollable frenzy, it is necessary to provide some protection against sell- inflicted injury by an abundant supply of straw bedding spread thickly over the floor and packed along the walls at the box. for several feet aboveethe groundlevel. In the majority of other sev‘ere’and acute diseases there is generally an ohstinate disincline- tion to lie dowm" and" the -movements of progression and turning are accomplished with dlflieulty or pain. In such cases sawdust oi: chaff litter is better than straw until ronvalescence is so far advanced as to warrant a probability that the animal will take his rest in a recumbent position. Where sawdust ochhafi is _ unattainable, the straw should be sparingly used and ‘cnt into short lengths, sothat the horse may move freely through the bed. The bedding, of whatever material composed, is to be maintained in -a condition of cleanliness A goose farm is said to he one ol'thg interesting sights in Western Virginia. “ It has an area. of about 3000 notes. and is well supplied with water. About 5,000 geese of every variety are kept there and tetted for the markets in the north. The geese have herders, and are managed and cared to: like so many cattle.
