The men and women in front were (lrix‘vn headlong: into the passage, whcrv they met the excited occupants of the pit und there was a hopeless Mock. The hall 10-day resembles a disordered auction room. Broken furniture. crushed toys, children’s hats, broken bottles. orange, peel. actors’ wigs and shreds of elothes lie scattered over the floor.

The itndienee was almost entirer composed of Jews. The manager of the Hebrew ,l)rttnnitic (Vlub. which was giving the entertainment. was on the stage, when the panic began. lle did all in his power to afford all possible facilities for the exit of the people The hall has zt number of entrances. and he. had them all thrown wide open and mzlled on the people when they would not remain to divide and useull the doorways, but they paid no attention to him. In trust, many of them construed the manager‘s earnestness into proof that there was it fire, and increased their exertions to get out. The whole, crowd, as it with one impulse. nutde forthe main entrance. It happened that among those who first reaehed it were at number of women and ehildren. who had been occupying some of the rear seats. They were overborne by strong,r men attempting to pass them, and as the women and chil- dren fell EU; the doorway they tripped up others, who were crushed down by the rush of the frantic crowd. it took but it few minutes to empty the house. and the ttlttl‘nl was so thorough that not it soul among the entire audience refrained from the struggle to get out. When the people utter reuehing the street ascertained the facts of the situation it seene of great dis- order ensued, caused by the discovery that numbers were missing. Then it rush baek wns made. This, however. was stopped at theinnin entrunee by the police, who had arrived and assumed control. Seventeen corpses were found inside the theatre, near the door. They were all torn. crushed and disfigured. it was found that of the dead, twelve were women. three were boys, one was :1 girl and the other was at mun. The l’enntins were almost unreet)gnimble. l‘lyeA witnesses say that the wtty the strong,r men who got uppermost in the struggle at the door crushed and trampled on those who fell down was indeserilmbly brutal. It is stated thttt tt number of intents carried in their mother's arms, elunt,f to through all the panic, were also crushed or smothered to death, and that :1 number of others were fatally injured. The scene during the at» tempted return of the crowd was painful in the extreme. Persons renniined at the doorway all night waitingr to have their deztd restored to them, and the lamenttitions of the women were heurtl’n‘ettlti ng.

A Milwmrkee, Wis, despatch says : A curious romance has just been revealed in \Vaupuca, Wis, in connection with the life history of l\l,rs.(ll1arles Smith, of that place. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Thornton, of Middle- ville, N. Y., had but one small child, a. girl. Mr. 'l‘hornton and his Wife had a bitter quarrel with a brother of the former over some cotton mill property belongingtotheir father’s estnto. The brother, in his anger, threatened to get even. The ehild, Adelia. 'l‘hornton. was in the habit of paying frequent Visits to a neighbor livingnear by, :md when returning from this neighbor’s one evening ;,hu was abducted. Search was made, for months, but not the slightest clew to her disappearance was discovered.

Some, time ufterthe. woman’s professed husband ClllllO to the house and requested Mrs. Combs to permanently take cure of the child, as his wife was dead and he would make it right. This was the last heard of the couple. The. child grew up fLS the adopted daughter of M r. and Mrs. Combs and was married. Some months ago Mr. and Mrs. ('7. Morgan, of Middleville, came, to \Vnupuea. They became acquainted with Mrs. Smith and at once recognized a resemâ€" blance, to the 'J‘horntons. This was the menus of opening up a correspondence l)(t\‘.'€(’ll the latter and Mrs. Smith, which resulted in establishing her identity as the abducted and longlost Adeliu.

A desperate fight ensued. in which five policemen were badly wounded. A priest ‘ who was present finally succeeded in calm» 1 ing the people, and they allowed the police to proceed. A tenant named Gallagher was evicted. For various reasons the police left the other tenants undisturbed. In many cases they were unable to identify the cottages from which occupants were to be ejected. In the meantime the peasants carried Gallagher backto hishouse, kindled a fire and reinstated him. The priest then persuaded them to allow the police to reâ€" tire. While the sheriff and his escort were on their way home masses of granite rolled down the mountain side and the officers narrowly escaped injury. Whether or not this was the malicious work of peasants is unknown. \Vhile the light was going on two vessels off Bloody Fareland stopped to watch the molar. A large number of writs of ejectinent have been granted, but it is expected no further attempt will be made to enforce them, At the fortnightly meeting of the Irish National League held here yesterday, Mr. William O’Brien declared the plan of cum- paign would always go on conducted within wise limits.

ABDI'CTED IN H ER YOUTIL A Dog's Untm‘mined Tramp VOL XVIII 'O'l‘H ER ICYHT’I‘ION R()\V. Miss Van Zandt appeared at the jail this morning and sought an interview with Spies. The jail officials, however, in obedience to the sheriff’s orders, refused to allow her to enter. (From the Pittsburg Telegraph.) If love is 9. funny thing, matrimony is still more peculiar. and the approaching marriage of Miss Nina Clarke Van Zandt, of Chicago, to August Spies, the con- demned anarchist, is one of the evidences thereof. Miss Van Zzuidt is the daughter of people who formerly lived here, and who are Well kngwn. She is a very handsome young lady, who has been in Pittsburgfrequently, her last visit being a couple of years ago. Marriage License Clerk Seegur said he was confirmed in his original intention not to issue a license until compelled to by legal process. “ I believe that this whole thing is gotten up by some shm'p-witted friends of Spies.” said he, “ who propose to use an innocent and foolish young girl to create sympathy for him in the hope that the Governor may pardon him or commute his sentence. I know Spies’ nature too well to believe that he loves the girl. I don’t believe that she loves him, but she thinks she does. I regard it as an outrage on decency and an insult to the law that this man Spies, with his neck in the halter, should defy all the dictates of honor and manhood and seek to drag down by his own disgrane an in- nocent and foolish girl, and I propose to call on Mr. Van Zandt and represent things to him as I look at them. I may be thrown out, but if he is the right sort of a man he will not let his daughter commit an act which may gain hora little notoriety now. but will be an everlasting disgrace hereafter.” More than twentyiive years since Wil- liam B. Clarke was a prominent lawyer of the Allegheny and Beaver county burs. His home was in Beaver, and in the early part of his career his practice was most in that county. Later he entered into practiee in this city and won a high position. He had two daughters, one of whom, ll’liss Agnes Clark, fell in love with and married James Van Zandt. The letter at that time was :1 bookkeeper in the old Rochester (lur ‘Vorks, which have long since caused to exist. After the marriage the young couple went to housekeeping in Beaver for some years and then removed to Philadelphia. Later they went to Chicago. where Mr. Van Znndt became the chemist in slm‘ge manuâ€" facturing firm. The daughter of this couple is the Miss Vim Zmidt who has engaged herself to Spies. Her mother’s sister nmrr ried John Arthur, who died some years ago. He was a wealthy manufacturer and left a. large fortune in real estate and personle property, which went to his widow. She resides in Oakland, and her farther, \Vm. B. Clerks, resides with her. As she hits no children, Miss Van Zandt hits been regarded as her heiress, and has visited her frequently. She was among the guests at the nigrriage of Miss W alker, the sisterâ€"in law of Mr. George Westinghouse, and wasvery much admired because of he:~ bounty and accomplish. menta. Mr. Van Zmndt, the father of the young lady: is connected with the Moore head family. of this city, being, it is said, a. nephew of the late General James K. Mooreheod, after whom he was named. A desputuh from Mrs. Arthurs, 0f Pitts- burg, the young lady’s aunt, who implored the girl’s parents to break off the match, the penalty for a. refusal being,r disinhori- tance, caused some tumult in the Van Zandt household, as Mrs. Arthur's is very wealthy, but had no effect, the would-be bride characterizing the message as an un- warrantable outrage. Referring to the (lespzitch in the presenmof a reporter, Miss Van Zandt said : ” That message from Pittsbm'g 1 conâ€" sider an umvurrmitnhle into 'fcrmu'e. and it will not deter me in the least. Now,” added the speaker, altering her manner, “ l have some neww for you. 1 have a bomb remly to be published. It was written by Mr. Spies, and is an account of his life, and will also contain all the letters written to me. I have written the preface myself. It will he published by Nina Van Zandt, which will be something of u novelty, don’t you knew, for at that time there will be no such person. l shall then be Mrs. Spies." The prospective bride added that it had become necessary to postpone the marriage again somewhat, and that the ceremony would not take place Thursday, but the delay would not be long. “ Oh, that is all right. That was all arranged before anything was published. They are disposed tn act very gvnumusly with us about that. That will be all right.” 7‘ Have you consulted with the sheriff at all abgut p110 ‘gllillg?”_ _ “ This; notoriety,” said Mr. Van Zmidt today, “is something dreadful for {L private family to endure. The papers say that my daughter is taking this course just to gain notoriety ; but. if they know the child they would never say that. She shrinks from in, but she will go through fire and water when it is necessary to do what she thinks is right.” A Chicago despair-h says : Miss Nina Clarke Van Zandt, the young woman who is to marry August Spies, the Anarchist, is a person of fine features and form, and a face of far more than usual intelligence. She dresses in the height of fashion. though tastefully and without vulgar display. Miss Van Zandt was born at Philadelphia, Jan. 5th, 1866. Her father, who is a well- knewn chemist, employed by the firm of James S. Kirk, soap manufacturers. belongs to one of the old Dutch families which removed to New York State from Central Pennsylvania about fifty years ago, but Mr. Van‘ Zandt was born in Amsterdam, Hols land. Her mother is a member ofa Scotch- English family, Clarke by name, and is a descendant of the royal house of Stuart, and one branch of her family has lived in l’ittsburg for several generations. Miss Van Zandt attended the Friends’ Central High School at Philadelphia until her father and mother removed to Chicago, in 188‘), when she entered the well-known and i aristocratic Miss Grant’s seminary. at the southeast corner of Dcarborn avenue and Chestnut place. and pursued her studies therefor one year. She prepared herself, during the following summer, to enter Vassar College, at l’oughkeepsie, N. Y., Where she remained two years. taking both Latin and mathematical courses.

RICHI‘JOND HILL THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1887. of the Battle to the Death Between a Stallion and a Bull. A Louisville, Ky., despatch says: A singularand fatal combat took place this morning in a cattle-ear on the Air Line Railroad between an Alderney bull and a Norman stallion. The two animals were boxed in a car yeaterdaymorning at Depauw, Ind., by Gustavus Edenburgh, a local dealer, for shipment to this city. A strong partition was built between thetwoanimals and the car was attached to the local freight. The train was running near New Albany when a brakeman, passing over the ear, heard a furious bellowing beneath. and, climbing down the side of the car, found that the partition between the two animals hurl been broken down7 and the infuriated brutes were engaged in deadly conflict. The train was stopped and the crew gathered around the ear, but no means could be devised for stepping the encounter. The i: o 1 heels of the game horse were planted with telling effect upon thebnll’s head, and the horse was gored in a horrible manner. Finally the stallion got in a blow hetwaen the eyes of the bull and the latter animal fell dead. The combat lasted thirty-five minutes and the horse died four hours later. An Insane Mother blinders Five of Her Children and Hangs Herself. A Cleveland, 0., despatch says : A hor- rible tragedy occurred this morning in a brick cottage near the corner of Independ- ence and I’etrie streets. The house was occupied by James Cabelek, an industrious Bohemian carpenter, with his family of eight children and his wife. Since the birth of a babe three months ago Mrs. )abelek has acted strangely. Early this morning Mr. Cabelek and his 19vyear-old son left the house for their work. The mother then sent two sons, Harry and George, on different errands. Harry reâ€" turned and found the house locked. He notified his father and brother, who re- turned and entered the house. In the bed-room, upon the bed, were found the four youngest children covered with blood. Behind the bed on the floor was the daugh- ter Jennie, aged 8, weltering in blood, but conscious. The mother was found in the basement suspended from the rafters by a clothes line, life being extinct. Mamie, aged 6, was dead, with ten gashes in her side ; Annie, aged 4, was dead, with fourâ€" teen wounds in her bowels. The infant in the cradle was dead, with three cuts in the stomach. Jimmie and Jennie are living and conscious, but are terribly lacerated and cannot recover. The result of the tragedy is four dead and two dying. The injuries were inflicted with a pair of long scissors with sharp prongs. A Crowd of Bufi‘alonians do Uncle Tom’s “Eliza” Act on Lake Erie ~ Narrow Escapes and Great Excitelnent. A last (Thursday) night’s Buffalo de- spntch says : \Vith a southwesterly wind blowing from 30 to 50 miles an hour down Lake Erie during the past 24 hours, the ice for some miles up became loosened, causing a “ shove.” This afternoon fully 600 men were scattered over the ice for ten miles up the lake from the Government breakwater. Shortly after 1 o’clock the ice began break- ing up and a stampede ensued. The men struck out in all directions, many not hav- ing time even to secure their effects, while others had to leave their dogs and sleds behind and flee for their livee. Those who were near the Canada. or American shores easily got to places of balmy, but the crowd in the centre had an exciting time. Some of them were suddenly brought to a stand- still by seeing open patches of water ahead of them, and turned only to find that they were completely shut off. Some cakes of ice floated one or two men, others eight or ten, while one immense piece bore up a freight of 50 human beings. They all managed to get off but a party of eight who were seen flouting on a piece in open water. Seven of the party jumped from cake to cake and were rowed to safety, but one old men could not be induced to try it. He remained where he was until his friends, after much work, reached him and half dragged him off. It is reported theta man named Haley is missing, but it is thought he will turn up all right. He WM 0111 and rich, and his niece, who had been visiting him, was about to go awax. “ You will not forget me, will you. dear uncle ‘2” she sobbed. U Q] my solitudg?” The excitement was intense, and the lookers-on fled in every direction. The leader of the strikers, as soon as he could get his men together, ordered them back to their headquarters at the corner of Hender- son and Ferry streets. Hogan was return in; home from work when he met his death. The police collected a number of witnesses of the shooting, and marched the Pinkerton men out in line. He then ordered the witnesses to identify the men who shot. They selected Patrick Sheehy, Daniel (Juhill and S. A. Neff. and identified them as the three men who fired at the boys. The inspector of police examined their revolvers and found every chamber loaded. The men were taken to police headquarters and held for bail. Schoolboy Shot by a Pinkerton ‘Man whlle Snowballing, A Jersey City, N.J., despntch says: Yesâ€" terday afternoon while a number of boys were playing in an open lot attlie corner of Henderson and Eighteenth streets, in this city, adjoining the yards of the Deleware, Lackawanna ‘Vestern Railroad Com~ puny, a fracas occurred between the boys and Pinkerton’s men, and Thomas Hogan, 16 years old, a locker-01., was shot and killed by one of Pinkerton’s men who were stationed in the company’s property. Occa- sionally the boys rained a shower of snow- balls and other missiles upon the men. On the west side of Henderson street a crowd of strikers and their sympathizers were assembled, and they lent encouragement to the boys by their smiles of approval. At length the leader of the Pinkerton men stepped forward and ordered the boys to stop throwing the missiles. The boys did not obey, and almost immediately three sharp cracks of a. revolver rang out andj Hogan fell dead. ‘ It is reported here that the marriage with Spies may divert the exl' ected Pittsâ€" bm'g inheritance of Miss Van Zandt into other channels.

She “'anted tn be Remembered. ADRIFT 0N ICE CAKES. SNO VVBALLS AND BULLETS. A SINGULAR CORIBAT‘ A Lansing, “Mich” (lespntcll says: Before the House Judiciary Committee to-day Representative Breen, of Menominee, con- firmed the charge that there haa been a regular trade in young girls between Mil- waukee and Chicago and the mining regions of the Upper Peninsula. Mr. Breen said that the horrors of the camps into which these girls are invcigled cannot be adequately described. There is no escape for the poor creatures. In one case tr girl escaped after beingr shot in the leg and took ref uge in a swamp. Dogs were started on her trail, and she was hunted down and taken back to the den. In another case, a girl escaped, while 21 dance was going on at the Lhanty into which she had been lured. After several days and night: of privation she made her way to an island near the shore in Lake Michigan, where a. man named Stanley lived. But the dogs and human bloodhounds trailed her, Stenley was overcome and the girl was taken back. The law now provides for imprisonment of only one year in case of conviction of any connection with this traffic, and it is pr0~ posed to amend it. A TEAM AFLOAT. A teamster named Squires, with a team and sleigh and a men to help him out ice, were caught in the break-up off Derby, on the south shore. They had a terrible time of it. Darkness came on and their danger increased momentarily. It was impossible to retrace their steps to the upper ice, so they resolved on the desperate measure of tearing out the planks of their sleigh and bridging the floating cakes. Thus they passed from flee to floe until 10.30 last night, when they succeeded in reaching the shore near Rockey Point. They were thoroughly exhausted. A LIFE»SAVER’S NARROW ESCAPE. Edward Hyland, No. 1 of the life-saving crew, had a rather thrilling experience. He was a long distance up the lake fishing with his dog and sleigh,and, finding the ice com- mencing to move, started for shore. But his dog was frightened and refused to stir a step with the load of fish. Il’yland knew he was losing precious moments, but didn’t want to lose his dog and fish, and tried every effort to get the animal to move. At this moment the ice besidehim cracked and parted, the seam running a long distance either way from where he stood. Still he hesitated. The crack between him and probable safety grew broader. Finally he threw the sled across and abandoning the dog to his fate sprang across the widening chasm and made his way safely to shore, dragging the sled of fish after him. - Cavanaugh’s boat, which was used by the rescuers, is a wreck. It was worth about $50. George Bowman, a» barber on Michigan street, and an old fisherman, was one of the last men in. He was as far out as any one, and knew by the motion of his lines in the afternoon that the ice was moving. He soon started, and finally succeeded in landing near Bay View about 10 o’clock at night. He was delayed by having to round an immense fissure, but was never in any particular danger. Ribbed silk corset covers are shown, fitwd like a jersey,made of pink, blue 'qnd white silk, with insertions of strong torchon. lace. “No. There were no lives lost. After the break there were lots of time to save themselves. These 111911 we saved, if they had known enough, would have gone to the south shore instead of world 11g toward the river.” “ Most of the rescued men were Poles,” said Galvin, when he was seen this morn- ing, “and one Irishman, a man named Higgins." {Do you know of any men being 1nst ‘? ” was asked Mr. Galvin. Mr. Galvin says he is certain that no one was swept down the river, as reported lest night. He and his companions got down to the end of the pier before any one could have got down, and we were picked up. The brave rescuers are entitled to the greatest credit for their prompt action, which no doubt saved a number of lives. A sensational scene was the trip of Wil- liam Williams and John Clark down the Niagara River on a small cake of ice. They I were the men seen from the eyrie of the Board of Trade building. The men floated down the river as far as the International Bridge before Patrick O'Brien and James l Hoolihan were able to overtake and rescue them. The ice cake was not of the most substantial kind, as ice cakes went, and their escape from their perilous predict!» ment is regarded as remarkable. mom or ‘rnr, BRAVE imsm'nns. James Galvim the man who swam with a woman on his back and saved her in the re- cent Island flood, was on the beach yester- day afternoon and saw a break in the ice beyond the breakwater, where a number of fishermen were stopped in trying to get in and were turning away to the south.

Cavanagh, Thomas Green, Galvin and another man shoved a boat on the inside of the breakwater clean to the north end of the pier to intercept :1 number of men who, by this time, were floating toward the mouth of the river on floes of ice. Galvin and his comrades reached the north end of the pier before the imperilled fishermen, rounding about, shoved the boat along through water and over ice and picked them all up, eight or nine men in all. A second trip was made and the dogs and sleds were towed in. Patrick Foley, a fisherman living on the Island, saw about forty men go down the lake on a large ice floe about 3 p.m., but they were reseued. William Cavanaugh and Patrick O’Brien, who saw the peril of the men, went out in & clinker boat and transferred the fishermen a few at a time to the breakwater. Several hundred men were at work on the ice when the thaw came~estimates running as high as 500. How many of these were missing could only be guessed. The ice broke up in long lines, and so sud- denly that it was next to impossible for the fishermen to escape. The ice was about a foot thick, and when the thaw had weak- ened it a fall in the lake water cracked the dangerous field into larger or smaller floes. The wind-breakers, used by the fishermen to protect themselves from the wind, acted as sails, and some of the cakes were carried along in the water at a reasonable rate of Speed. _ _ The following are additional particulars of the great icebreak away near Buffalo on Thursday, by which many lives were im- perilled for hours : Hundreds on Lake Erie When the Ice Broke Up.

For “ Yes," drop one glove from the right into the left hand. “ N0 " is said by rolling both gloves in the right hand. If you want to express that you are indifferent to a partner, take the right hand glove partly off. If you wish a. male friend to follow you into the next room, strike your left arm with both gloves. “ I love you still,” is expressed by slowly and carefully smoothing both gloves. 1f the fair she desires to know whether her affection is reciprocated, she is to put on half the left hand glove, one finger at a time. “Be on your guard against the governor,” or “my motherâ€"in-law,” as the case may he, is a message often sent, and is given by deli,» cately twisting the. glove fingers round the thumb. If the damsel is in a- quarrelsome mood she simply makes a cross with both her gloves and proceeds to lay them on her lap in this position. These are the principle and most simple rules.~4’ull Mull Gamma A Show Battle by British Soldiers. The 2nd Royal lnniskillen Fusiliers, at Aldershot, England, divided into two op- posing forces of about 350 officers, non- eommissioned officers and privates each, varied their work at snow~eleariug one day recently with an exciting snow fight, which lasted nearly two hours. The right wing was commanded by Colonel G. B. Stokes (commanding the battalion), the left wing by Major Wodehouse, whose chief of the staff was Captain Greenfield. Both wings occupy lines in the South (lamp and two parade grounds about 200 yards apart. Col. Stokes, havng resolved to take the opposing wing by surprise, sent forward an advanced guard, which, having moved stealthin over the snow, fortified itself in a well-formed snow fort until the arrival of the main body under 001. Stokes, who im- mediately sent a strong line of skirmishers into the lines occupied by the opposing force, which was mercilessly sub» jected to volleys of glittering snow- balls before it could realize the fact that it was taken by surprise. The buglers at once sounded the alarm and assembly in the besieged lines, and officers and men ralliedâ€"some without jackets or tunics, and some without any head-dressâ€" on the private parade ground and advanced to storm the fort. Ten times in succession the assaulting force was gallantly led by its officers to the glaeis of the fort ; but, not- withstanding partial lodgments, it was as many times repulsed, the few men left he- hind in the work being nearly smothered with snow. Ultimately the commander of the assailants detached a strong party un- der (lapt. Greenfield to take the fort in flank; but for this move Colonel Stokes had not been unprepared. \Vithout materially weakening his front or right flank, he massed superior numbers against the storming party, literally overwhelming it. Then the buglers sounded the cessation of hostilities and each force, claiming the victory, retired from the field completely exhausted. By the time the fight was over not a trace of the fort could be seen. Tlu- Tohoggan N, G.

I remember long ago a teaiustained book i of tables of weights and measures and a teacher’s impatience with a stupid child who could not master the “ tables.” And I have seen a school where the tables were written on a blackboard, thus: “ Two pints are equal to one quart,” and on a stand in the school-room were a tin pint measure and a tin quart measure and a box of dry sand. Every happy youngster had a chance to fill that pint measure with sand and pour the sand into the quart measure. Two pints filled it. He knew it. Did he not see it? Did not every boy try it? Ahl Now they knew what it all meant. It was as plain as' day that two pints of sand were equal to one quart of land; and with merry smiles those (3â€"yearâ€"old philosophers learned the tables of measures; and they will never forget them. This is, in brief, what is meant by industrial education. To learn by using the hands, to study from things as well as from books. This is the new school, these are the new lessons. The children who can sew and design, or draw, or carve wood, or do joinering work, or cast metals, or work in clay and brass, are the best educated children, because they use their hands as well as their eyes and their brains. You may say that in such schools all the boys will become mechanics and all the girls dressmakers. Some may ; many will not ; and yet whatever they do, be it preaching, keeping a store, or singing in concerts, they will do their work better than those who only read in books. This then is the idea of the new schoolâ€" to use the hands as well as the eyes. Boys and girls who go to the ordinary schools, where only books are used, will graduate knowing a great deal ; but a boy who goes to one of these new schools where, besides the books, there are pencils and tools, work benches as well as writing books, will know more. The other boys and girls may forget more than half they read, but he will remember everything he learned at the drawing table or at the work bench as long as he lives. He will also remember more of that which he reads, because his work with his hands helps him to under- stand what he reads. To Use the Hands as “'ell as Eyes 3 Great Idea in Education. There is a new kind of school and there are new lessons and new teachers coming, Says “ St. Nicholas.” Books we must have. To learn we must read. But we may read all about boats, and yet we can never learn to sail a. boat till we take the tiller in hand and trim the sail before the breeze. The book will help wonderfully in telling us the names of things in the boat and, if we have read about sailing, we shall more quickly learn to sail; but we certainly never shall learn till we are inn, real boat. We can read in a book how to turn a heel in knitting and may commit to memory whole rules about “ throwing off two and purl four,” and all the rest; yet where is the girl who can learn to knit without having the needles in her hands ?

On that day Captain McCraig, who was arranging for the open- ing of navigation, became intoxicated and at midnight was taken to his home by friends. He did not stay there, however, but immediately went to the house of M19. McCraigâ€"or Miss Moore,for she had taken her maiden namcfiand aroused the house and neighborhood by his efforts to get in. Her aged father went out and tried to pacify the enraged man, who pushed his way into thehouse and to his former wife’s chamber. The infuriated man attacked his wife in her night-clothes and brutally beat her until, fearing for her life, she fled to another room, procured a shotgun, and, returning, shot the drunken madman dead. No tragedy ever before occurred here which caused so profound a sensation. THE ARREST AND TRIAL. Miss Moore was arrested, jailed and subsequently bailed. Her trial for murder was looked forward to for months as a great event. It began a week ago, and attracted immense crowds of people, includ~ ing the most prominent men and women of the place. A jury of farmch was finally secured, and the defendant’s counsel announced that the defence was justifiable homicide. The prosecuting attorney was assisted by the ablest counsel in the city, and Miss Moore’s interests were in capable hands. When the fair prisoner gave her testimony the court room could not begin to hold the people. There was not a dry eye in the room when she had finished her story. She told of her blightedlife, the abuse she had suffered from McCraig, and how on the tragic night, goaded to desperation by his assault, his cruel words of slander, and afraid of her life, she shot him. “ So help me, God,” she concluded, “ I did not mean to kill him, but if I did wrong I am willing to take the consequences.” She rose as she said this, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be kept back. The greatest silence reigned. Then the jury retired, and in a short time brought in a verdict of “ not guilty.” Judge Stcarns forbade any demonstration. Aged Mashezjâ€"Yes, dearest angel.

Captain McCraig was more than ten years older than his wife, a vessel owner and one of the best known captains on the chain of great lakes, Soon after their marriage Captain McCraigi who drank freely, grew jealous of the admiration his wife’s beauty excited on all sides,und they soon quarrelled. A little daughter came, but failed to heal the breach, and after a time Mrs. McCraig left her husband and went back to the home of her parents. Two years ago they were divorced on account of the captain’s abuse, and then he grew more insanely jealous of her and made her life a burden. While in hie cups he would frequently attack her character, and there were not wanting those who feared some dreadful tragedy would end it all. 0, do not shed that tour, Adelaide, But loan me while I'm here, As a trade, That most ancient linen duster Tlmt your father used to muster, When the mercury marked ninety in the shade‘ You have laid, Tlmt the map long since departed, And now the web is started, Why, the garment very soon will be decayed Winsome jade ; But new clothes are quite expensive, And I‘m rather apprehensive, That this con/m upon the shouldn's getting frayed Your peachy cheek. so soft Adelaide, Upon that spot_§0 0ft Adela’ide, As I have said Reform I worship and flame If I tell you, Vei'y éiéhiiy, That, although I love you dearly, Of your passionate embraces I’m afraid Pmy do not think me cold, Adelaide, And do not chido nor scald, Sweetest maid‘ Thom cast thy being; and the dark nightshade Of this poor world’s commotion and unrest \Vill have no terrors for thee, calmly laid In God's kind bosom~pillowed on His breast.
