The original MS, of four stanzas of Hood’s “ Song of the Shirt,“ written on one quarto sheet. brought £8 at an auction sale on July 8. Mrs. Everson. an old. Norwegian woman living alone at Edgertcn, Wis, we found dead in bedyesterday with her neck broken. A chest containing her money had been pri- ed open and the contents scattered. Since the election of President Harrison 13,000 fourth-class postmastcrs have been put out of oflfice. This exceeds by 9,000 the removals made in the some time by the late Democratic Administration, which came into power after its party had been shut out from Federal c-fliles for twenty-fcu years â€"Ex. A small boy of Lunenburgh, Mass” want. ed his father to giVe him some money. “ 10 into the garden and pick potato bugs ofl of the vines, and I’ll give you a cent apiece for them.” That night the boy counted out 640 of the bugs. and received from his surprised parent $6,410. But the contract terminated then and there. By fasting thirty days May Waldron re. duoed her weight sixty pounds. Her only nourishment during the fast was the juice of two oranges each day. Only those who are troubled by a paucity of pocket money as well as a superfluity of flesh will be tempted to take this method of reducing themselves and their board bills. In the old graveyard at Kittery, Me., there is among the many quaint inscriptions on the stones this one, relating to “Margaret Hills, consort of Oliver Hills,” who died in 1803: I lost my life in the raging seas A Sov’rolgn God does as he please The Kittery friends they did appear & My remains they buried here. It has become a hazardous undertaking to kiss the famous stone at Blarney Castle. To . get at it there is a danger of the kisser losing his balance and falling a distance of fifty feet. The other day a carpenter named Cor- nelius Cashill attempted the operation, and, falling, was picked up unconscious with a broken leg. The man who tried it previous to this accident lost his life. It is stated upon what appears to be good authority that the crops in Manitoba will turn out much better than was at one time expected. Recent reports all agree that the July rains have greatly improved the pros- pects. The Manitoba Government intends this year to send down to Ontario 9. large exhibit, and thus practically demonstrate the capabilities of that province. 0f the 4200 kinds of flowers which grow in Europe only 450, or 10 per cent, are odorifcrous. The commonest flowers are the white ones, of which there are 1194 kinds. Less than one‘fift-h of these are fragrant. 0f the 951 kinds of yellow flowers 77 are odoriferous, of the 8‘23 red kinds, 84; of the 594 blue kinds, 31 ; of the 308 violet-blue kinds. 13. Of the 240 kinds with combined colors 28 are fragrant. A method is described in La. Samaine deg Comtructeur for preserving cast iron from liability to rust, an the same time insuring apleasing surface. In accomplishing this the casting is first thoroughly cleaned, wash- ed in dilute acid, and, when dry, the surface is well rubbed with a metallic brush or afile, and then painted several coats with raw pet- roleum, care being taken that each coat be thoroughly dry before the next is applied. On the last coat becoming dry it is to be well rubbed with a stifi‘ hair brush, the result being an attractive dull polish, capable ofreslsting a high degree of heat and not susceptible to any attack by rust. This condition may be indefinitely preserved and improved by the occasional application of a sinule coat of petroleum, followed by brushing. At the London cenlral electric lighting station recently a highly interesting experi- ment was made with a current of 10,000 volts potential. One hundred 100-volt lamps, arranged in series, were fully incan- desced, affording an ocular demonstration of the presence of the 10,000 volts. A pair of copper wires, with ends facing one another at a distance of half an inch, were then placed in the circuit, and all lamps were extinguished. The primary current being now turned on, the ends of the wires were immediately seen to glow with a brush discharge, which steadily increased in bril- liancy until, in about four or five seconds, the circuit was broken by the rupture of the safety luse. The lights at the points did not attain any great degree of biilliancy, and bore no resemblance to an arc. The widow of a commercial traveller who was lost in the J ohnstown flood has entered suit for $50,000 against the South Forks Hunting and Fishing Club. All success attend her. With ravercnce be it spoken, here is an object of prayer to the Almighty to which all believers in the efficacy of carn- est petition may very well devote them- elves. Jehovah has proclaimed himself as the 'ch of the widow and the orphan. Will He not then be likely to hear prayers uttered in earnest faith on behalf of a. wid- ow who is seeking justice against the sel- fish plurocrats who despoilid her of her home and wrecked her happiness. The pray- ers of men and women everywhere, we lay, attend this suit, and may the God of Right~ oneness who judges in this earth give the widow the desire of her heart in this matter. And may her success encourage others to follow her example with results to them- selves .that will be equally satisfactory. Frances Isabella Stallard, of the Isle of Wight, is about to be released after an imprisonment of twelve years for the murder of her child. One bitter night she took it away from the care of her own mother in order, as she said, to confide it to some of its father’s relatives. Some time afterward its body was found hidden in a culvert, and the persons to whom it was to have been brou ht knew nothing of the mother’s intention. er account was that she covered the child’s face with a piece of flannel to protect it from the cold night air, and so inadvertently smother- ed it. In a state of horror she hid the body. The case was very obscure, and those who knew her bestwere convincedof her innocence of any wilful crime. This feeling found such expression that the death sentence was com- muted to penal servitude for life. Recently a little account of the case was published under the title of “ Only a Woman’s Life.” Then the editor of the ” Isle of Wight Express ” took the matter up, and got a petition very influentially signed asking for the convict’s release. She is now free, and. was Welcomed back in her own district. . l Honor Where Honor 15 Due. The New York “ Sun,” in a recent issue had a well‘deservcd. word of praise } for a great corporation which comes in l for more hard words than buttered l speeches during every year of its existence. ! The Corporation in question is the VVestorn l Union Telegraph Company, and the occasion of its panegyric from the “ Sun,” in which 1 we may all join with great heartiness, is a i dispute between the Company and the U. S. l Postmaster, Mr. John Wanamaker, who, it _ seems, had virtually, if not in so many 1 words, found fault with the Western Union for callous disregard of all but its own in- l terests during the horrors of the J ohnstcwu l flood. To this accusation President Norviu l Green returned a. very sharp and energetic ; reply, which effectually checkmates Mr. Wanamaker and proves him guilty of either I ignorance or malice in making his charges. So far from being callous and intent’ merely on making money, Dr. Green insists that on every occasion of great calamity, the Western Union has cheerfully and gratuitiously given services which, if reconed in terms of money would be very} impressive. Using the doctor’s own words, “In every scourge of yellow fever and cholera, and in every devastation by flood or fire, we have done for public information and fo"private relief, a large amount of service without charge. In the late great disasters at J ohnstown and Seattle, our en- tire available facilities at those places were given to public use for several days.” It is well that facts like these shoull be known as they go far to dissipate an idea always prominent in the public mind, that all cor- 1 poraticns are mere money making monsters j without souls. Dr. Green seems to havel made out agood case for at least one cor- poration, and to have proved that though the primary object of its existence is to make money, it has at the same time "bowels of compassion.” For the sake of those who would not be willing to be convinced by the statements of a party so interested as the President of the Company, the Sun reprints from the “North American Review ” part of an article by Miss Clara Barton, of the American Red Cross Society, in which she hears strong witness to the invaluable ser- vices freely rendered by the Western Union. Here is the paragraph. “The banks had all gone down stream, the sales were in the bottom of the Cone- j maugh, half the business men dead, our desk I a dry geods box turned sidewise, our com- I bination lock the tangled strings that draw together the sides of a flyless tent flapping and swaying in the wind. The Western Union was so overcrowded that despatches were often twenty-four hours late. But if thanks went for anything, if words were of any avail, what would one try to say of the tireless courtesy of its worn-down clerks? Sleepless, vigilant, weary and faint, they toiled. on, stimulated, one knows, by the great hearted, generous example which bids them ever, in the name of humanity, to count all'loss as gain, an the bfilicted are comforted and the needy find a friend." It is important, we repeat, for the well- heing of society that facts like these should be widely known, and that honor should be paid where honor is fairly due, whether to a great and wealthy corporation, or to an individual hero. â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-.â€"â€"â€"uâ€"- Prices that would begin to make ends hair curl, a least a little, were realized at the beginning of the regular July sales of thor- uughbreds. Lord. Rosalyn's brood mares, fourteen of them, averaged over $5,000. Five from another stud a trifle more. Ten more, the property of Wood, the disgraced and out- cast jockey, averaged $2,500. Several of these mares brought $10,000 or over, and for one, by Galopin, with foal by Hampton, the l Duke of Portland gave $20,000. l A Fair Trial is all that is asked for Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical discovery in all blood taints, or skin diseases, eruptions, hlotches, pimples, and scrofulous sores and swellings. “If it don’t cure, you get your money back.” ‘ An enameled moss rose bud, side by side , with a green gold leaf rimmed with diamonds ' is a notable addition to brooches.
