A very short time ago, that is yesterly, about four o'clock in the afternoon, ,1 the Quartier du Marais was in an up>ar. It was said that one of the rejectable merchants in the Roi de-Sicil# as disappeared, and all the efforts to iscover him had proved fruitss. The straage event was discussed i all the shops in the neighborhood ; lere were groups aronnd the doors of 1 the green-grocers, and every moment >me terrified housewife arrived, bringig new details. The grocer at the >rner had the best, freshest and most >rrect intelligence, having received it im the lips of the cook who lived in le house. " So," said he, " yesterday, after din?r, our neighbor, Monsieur Jandidier, ent to his cellar and was never seen jain ? disappeared, vanished, evapoited I" It occasionally happens that mysteriis disappearances are heard of, the nblic get exci.ed, and prudent people ay sword canes. Policemen hear these Deurd rumors and shrug their shoulders, hey are familiar with the other side of iese closely embroidered canvasses. h*y search into the matter and find, stead of artless falsehoods, the truth; istead of romances, sad stories. Yet, p to a certain point, the grocer in the "A Qainf T.onia flio f.tmfli Monsieur Jandidier, manufacturer of litation jewelry, had really not been 3me for twenty-four hours. Monsieur heodore Jandidier was a very tall, very ild, man, about fifty-eight years old, ith sufficiently good manners, who had nassed a considerable fortune in trade. e had an income from stocks of twenty iou6and livres, and his business brought m in about fifty thousand francs. He as beloved and esteemed by his neigh)rs, and justly bo, for his honesty was jove suspicion, his morality austere. Carried late in lifo to a poor relative, he id made her perfectly happy. He had 1 only daughter, a pretty graceful girl, imed Terese, wh?m he adored. She id been engaged to the oldest son of ie banker Schmidt?of the firm of ihmidt, Gubenheim & Worb?Monsieur ustave ; but the match had been roken off, no one knew why, for the jung people were desperately in love ith each other. It was said in the , mdidier circle that Schmidt, senior, ho, as was well known, would :in a flint, had required a dowry far iyond the merchant's means. Warned , by public rumor, which conantly increased, the commissary of jlice went to the home of the man who as already called the victim, though no [act information had been received, e found Madame and Mademoiselle mdidier in such transports of grief that was with the utmost difficulty that he >uld gather the truth. At last he learned le following particulars: The evening before, Saturday, Moneur Jandidier had dined with his famy as usual, but did not eat with much spetite, having, he said, a violent headline. After dinner ho went to his wareauses, gave some orders, and then enired his office. Returning home at alf-past six, he told his wife he was Ding to walk. And he never appeared jain. Having carefully noted these articulars, the commissary of police iquested permission to see Madame indidier a few minutes alone. She iftde a sign of assent, and Mademoiselle herese left the room. "Pardon, madame," said the commis?ry of police, "the question I am about ) address to you. Do you know whether anr husband had?I again ask your ardon?any connection outside of the i ouse ?" | Madame Jandidier started up ; auger ried her tears. "I have been married twenty-three Bars, monsieur; my husband has never jturned home later than ten o'clock." " Was your husband in the habit of oing to any club or cafe f" he connued. " Never; I wouldn't have allowed it." " Did he usually carry valuable papers bout with him ?" " I don't know; I attend to my house eeping, and don't irouble myself about usmess matters." It was impossible to get any further lformation from the poor wife, who was ewildered by grief. * Having accomplished his business, the ammissary of police thought it his duty ) say a few words of commonplace conization to the poor woman. But when e went awav, after making inquiries in ie household, he felt very auxious, and egan to suspect the existence of a rime. That very evening one of the lost skillful detectives, Retiveau?bet?* in flio Pnfl rlo .Tfimflfllom Qfl laitre Magloire?was put on the track f Monsieur Jandidier, provided with n exoellent photograph of the merhant. The very morning after Monsieur andidier had disappeared Maitre Mag>ire presented himself at the Palais de uetioe to report to the magistrate who ad charge of the matter. 'Well, Monsieur Magloire," said the magistrate, " b? you have discovered omething?" " I'm on the track, monsieur." "Bpeak!" "To begin with, monsieur, Monsieur Jandidier didn't leave his house at halfpast Bix, but at seven precisely." " Precisely?" " Yes. I got my information from a clock-maker in the Rue Saint Denis, who is sure of the fact, because Monsieur Jandidier, while passing ^his shop, took out his watch to compare it with the clock over the door. He had an unlighted cigar in his mouth. On learning this circumstance I said to myself, 'I have him ! he'll light his cigar somewhere.' My reasoning was oorreot; he entered a shop in the Rue de Temple, wher^ he is well known. The woman remembered the cirumstance because, though he always smoked sou cigars, he bought London ones." " How did he appear ?" "He seemed very thoughtful, the shopkeeper told me. It was through her I learned he often went to the Cafe Ture. I went in and was told he had been there on Saturday evening. He appeared depressed. The gentleman, the waiter told me, talked all the time about life insurance. At half-past eight o'clock our man left the cafe with one of his friends, Monsieur Blandureau. I instantly went to this gentleman, who told me that he walked up the boulevard with Monsieur Jandidier, who left him on the corner of the Rue Richelieu, pleading a business engagement. He was out of sorts, and seemed troubled with the darkest presentiment" "Very well, so far," murmured the magistrate. " On leaving Monsieur Blandureau I went to Rue du Roi-de-Sicile, to ascertain from somebody in the house whether Monsieur Jandidier had any customers or friend? ; there was only his tailor in the Rue Richelieu. I went to this tailor. He saw our man on Saturday. Monsieur Jandidier went to his shop | after nine o'clock to order a pair of pantaloons. While his measure was being taken he noticed that one of the buttons on his vest was ready to fall off, and asked to have it sewed on. He was obliged to take off his overcoat to permit the little repair to tf}de, and as at the some time he took out the contents of the side-pocket, the tailor noticed several hundred-franc bank notes." " Ah ! that is a clew! He had a large sum of money with him ?" "Not large, but considerable. The tailor estimated it at twelve or fourteen hundred francs." "Go on," said the examining magistrate. "While his vest was being repaired Monsieur Jandidier complained of sudden illness, and sent a little boy out to look for a carriage. He had to go to see one of his workmen who lived a long distance off, he Baid. Unfortunately, the little fellow had forgotten the number of | the carriage. Hg only remembered that j it had yellow wheels and was drawn by j a large black horse. This afforded a , clew. A circular sent to all the liverystable keepers put me on the track. I learned this morning that the number of the carriage was 6,007. Tho driver, on being questioned, distinctly remembered having been stopped about nine o'clook on Saturday evening in tho Rue Richelieu, by a little boy, and having waited ten minutes in fiont of the Maison Gouin. The description of his face; suited our man, and he recognized the photograph among five others I showed him." Maitre Magloire stopped; he wanted to enjoy the approval he read in the magistrate's face. "Monsieur Jandidier," he continued, " was reallv driven to No. 48 Rue d'Arras Saint Victor, where one of bis workmen lives, a man named Jules Tarot." The manner in which Maitre Magloire pronounced this name was intended to arouse, and did arouse, the attention of the magistrate. " You have suspicions?" he asked. " Not exactly ; but these are the facts. Monsieur Jandidier dismissed his carriage at the Rue d'Arras and went to Tarot's room about ten o'clock. At eleven the employer and workman west out together. The workman did not return till midnight, and here I lose track of my man. Of course I didn't question Tarot, lest I should put him on his guard." "Who is this Jules Tarot?" " A worker in mother-of pearl; that is, a man who polishes shells on a grind- j stone, to give them a perfect lustre. He is a skillful fellow, and helped by his wife, to whom he has taught his trade, can make a hundred francs a week." " They are in easy circumstances, then." " Oh ! no. thev are both voune : they have no children, they ore Parisians"; I and, zounds, they amuse themselves, j Monday always squanders all the other ; days bring." Two hours after Maitre Magloire's report, several police-officers went to Jules Tarot's lodgings to make a search. At the sight of them the worker in motherof-pearl and his wife turned paler than corpses and were seized with an attack of nervous trembling that could not escape the practiced eye of Maitre Magloire. Yet, the most careful search having | failed to discover anything suspicious, they were about to withdraw, when the detective saw Tarot's wife anxiously watching a cage that hung near the window. This was a ray of light. In an instant Magloire had taken d?wn the : cage. Twelve hundred-franc notes were j found between the boards of the floor, j This discovery seemed to crush the workman, while hiB wife began to utter terrible shrieks, protesting that she and her husband were innocent. On being arrested and taken to the police-station they were questioned by the examining magistrate that very day. Their answers were precisely the same. They ac- j fKnf fliQTr liorJ fi n'mf, I XiUiy)TlUU(kjOV? vuuv VUVJJ iiUM UMV? M T ..... | from their employer ou Saturday even- i ing. He seemed bo ill that* they ha J j offered him something to take, which he j refused. He had come, he said, on account of an important order which he proposed that Tarot should undertake, hiring his own workmen. Tarot and his wife replied that they could not do it for want of means. Then their employer said : " Never mind, I'll furnish the money," and instantly put twelve hundred-frano notes on the table. At eleven o'clock Monsieur Jandidier asked his workman to show him out of the house; he was going to the Fyibourg Saint Antoine. And, in fact, Tarot accompanied him to the Place de ia Bastile, crossing the Constantine Bridge and walking along by the river. The magistrate asked both husband and wife the very natural question : " Whv did vou hide the money ?" They made the same answer. Hearing on Monday morning of Monsieur Jandidier's disappearance, they were seized with terror. Tarofc had said to his wife [ "If it is known that our employer came here, that I crossed the bridge and walked along by the river with him, I shall be compromised. If this money were ever found in our possession we should be lost." The wife then wanted to burn the notes, but Tarot prevented it, intending to return them to the family. This explanation was reasonable and plausible, if not probable, but it was only an explanation. Tarot and his wife were still detained in custody. A week after the magistrate was in the utmosl perplexity. Three new examinations had not enabled him to form an opinion. Were Tarot and his wife inno cent ? Or were they simply marvelously clever in maintaining a probable fable ? The magistrate knew not what to do, B( when one morning a strange rumor reached his ears. The house of Jandidier had just stopped payment. A detective who was set to work brought back the most startling news. A] Monsieur Jandidier, who had been fo considered so wealthy, was ruined, d( utterly ruined, and for three years he Y< had sustained his credit only by means of various expedients. He had not a ac thousand francs, and notes falling due fo at the end of the month amounted to at sixty-seven thousand, five hundred francs, th The cautious merchant speculated in | m stocks. The magistrate bad just learned cii these particulars when Maitre Magloire pi appeared, pale and panting for breath, ca "You lmow, monsieur?" he cried, eq from the threshold. , ta " All!" . ve 4' Tarot is innocent" wl "I believe him so; and yet that visit gi ?how do you explain that visit ?" ge Magloire shook his head sorrowfully. AJ "I am only a fool," said he, "and th Lecoq has just proved it. Monsieur Jandidier spoke of his life insurance at the in Cafe Ture. This was the key to the or affair. Jandidier was insured for two Sc hundred thousand francs, and Fiench wi companies don't pay in case cf suioide. re Do you understand 9" to Thanks to Monsietzr Gustave Schmidt, ap who will marry Mademoiselle Therese af Jandidier next month, the house of hi Jandidier has not gone into bankruptcy, tu Tarot and his wife, restored to liberty, cb have been established in business by ta this same Monsieuf Oustave, and no lie longer go pleasuring on Mondays.

W He was at that instant seized with a violent fever, of which he died in six weeks W afterward, aged fifty-six. ha The death of a Dutch painter, Penti- ?u man, in the seventeenth century, was occasioned by an extraordinary eircum- ?h stance. Being engaged upon a picture B' in which was represented several death's bj heads, skeletons, and ether objects fitted 01 to inspire in the hearts of the beholders l0f a contempt for the amusements and van- 6C' itifcs of the age, he, in order to have the benefit of studying these objects to from nature, was accustomed to repair Pr to* an anatomical cabinet, whioh served be him for a studio. One sultry day,while Pe engaged in drawing from the melancholy relics of mortality by which he t<5 was surrounded, he was overcome with drowsiness, and several fruitless efforts ^ to continue his work at length succumb- mi ed to the power of sleep. He had slept but a short time when he was suddenly th awakened by an extraordinary and ap- 82 parently supernatural movement, and i0 the skeletons suspended from the ceil- 00 ing clashing violently together. Seized with a sudden panic, Pentiman rushed Sa in terror from the room, cast himself th headlong from the staircase window, and br fell into the street. On recovering his 1?< senses, he learned that the spectacle Mi which so terrified him arose from natural ha causes, having been occasioned by an ari earthquake. But the shock received by H< his nervous system was so great that loi he never rallied, and he died a few days fri after. th The French marshal, De Montreval, H whose whole soul, according to St. Sil- ra( mon, was ambitfon and luore, without so: ever having been able to distinguish his w< rierht hand from his left, but concealing he Ilia universal ignorance with an audacity ca which favor, fashion and birth protected, hii was bo superstitious that one day at a dii public dinner, ft Bait-cellar having been 82 accidentally upset in his lap, he was h* seized with such a terror at the untoward occurrence that he rose from his ooof /loolarinnr tViof Iia -urJlH ft (1PA<1 mflTJ. 1U In fact no sooner had he got home when he was attacked by fever and died in the ^ year 1716. th _____ CO ? it A Mysterious Shower of Fish. ca The Globe, of Toronto, Canada, says : fl? A confirmation of the strange report m that a shower of fish had fallen on the de fourth concession of Harwioh township ra is given by a school teacher of the neigh- | ca borhood, who testifies to what he saw : Is as follows: " Having dismissed the chil- ! T1 drcn for the day, I was returning to my j de boarding place, when with a side glance, j P? I discovered something in the grass. At first I thought it was some species of of rattlesnake, but upon more careful scru- 82 tiuy. I found it was a fine, firm, fresh j or fish of the piokerel species. Having {m: been brought up at the sea shore I knew i w< at once the fish was good, and picked it an up, while wondering whence it came. My ! wt astonishment was increased, however, w< when stepping on a few yards further I Ac found another equally good. A few steps at further and one more, and I thought I ev ought to returu to the school room for to some paper in which to wrap them. On wf entering the room I seized (rather thoughtlessly you will say) one of the ex pails, and proceeded to collect fish, to When I had more than half filled the sfc pail I saw a man in the distance carry- dr ing some fish, and supposing the mys- mi tery was about to be solved I awaited ov his approach. I dropped the pail and lai felt somewhat guilty for having appro- tn priated the fish till relieved by his de assuring me that he had gathered up fri also those he had In the Bame way, and od that he had just been cHlling the larg- br est of them. He observed: ' These co are as good and fresh as money could w< buy.' I filled the pail, not only to the he brim, but up the whole height of the ' 1 handle, and having deposited my bur- M den naturally in the farm house where I re board I returned to collect the remain- wi der. When I had finished my task I assure you that I felt fatigued. The mi work had occupied half an hour. This Ai fall of fish extended about three quar- ha ters of a mile. On the Bame ovening di] one of the maids was sent for the cows go to a field about half a mile from my an boarding plaoe. She also returned br laden with fish that she had picked up th in a similar way, This girl reported a i that she had left others behind her us which she could not conveniently carry pc to the house.

Bfflnnlnc bin Career In Europe and Endlnir in 8oath America?New l'ork'i Hhnre or bin Schemes?Dyes and Artificial Butter ?Extracting Gold from Copper Ore. The intelligence that the Chevalier Ifred Paraf had been arrested in Chili r swindling, recalls the thrilling inci;nts of that individual's career in New 3rk. The Sun, of that city, says : Paraf was beyond question the moat complished adventurer that ever set ot in America. His personal appear ice, of itself, was enough to impress e most prejudiced in his favor. Of edijjm height, spare in build, with ear-cut, regular features, dark comexion, and lar?o, eloquent eyes, he ptivated men and women alike with [ual ease. His dress was rich and 3teful, but studiously plain ; his conization varied and fascinating, and his liole bearing that of a man of the world, fted with an unusual amount of taste, inius and courage. A native of Isace, his education as a chemist was of e most thorough and practical order. His first principal venture, after leavg school, was in Great Britain. "While i a pleasure excursion to the north of sotlaiid, he ran short of money and rote to his father for more. Not ceiving a satisfactory response, he went Glasgow, hired the most sumptnouB lartments in the best hotel, and on the ternoon of the same day presented mself to a wealthy firm of manufacrers as the discoverer of a new and ieap dye for oalico printing. He. was ken into the laboratory of the estabihment, and in half an honr convinced e manufacturer of the truth of his atementa. In a fortnight he was on s way home with $20,000 in his )ckets. Before seeing the father he langed the money into gold, and when s father began to remonstrate with m on his extravagance, cut the convertion short by throwing the bags of vereigns on the table, and asking whether that wasn't some extravartice." Nothing, however, could inice him to settle down. In a few Qnths the whole of the $20,000 had und its way into the pockets of irisian adventuresses, German gamers, and the thousand and one sharpers 10 haunt the pleasure centres of the ntinenfc. When the money was all >ne Paraf went to his uncle, of the firm Paraf, Javai <fc Co., in the Eue 'de utier, Paris, and in a short time as i ifore had compounded a new color, lich sold for $10,000. Another month i dissipation followed, and then the uthful chevalier determined to "Go < est." i Paraf landed in New York from the est Indies in June, 1877. Adroit, ndsome and daring, he found no diffi- i lty in effecting an entree to the counter rooms and parlors of New York merants. His first acquaintances were < edt <fe Co., chemists, in Fulton street, ' whom he was introduced to Prof, rarles F. Chandler of Columbia Col?e and the Board of Health. His i lieme at this time was the manufacture iodine out of sponges, and he applied i the professor for an analysis of his i ocess. The enterprise was found to impracticable, and was soon drop<1. Paraf then turned to his old ! rte of calico printing. He professed have discovered an "analine black" i perior to any in the market, and th this he made a trip through the inufacturing districts of New Eng- : id, selling licenses to manufacture e dye to various mill owners at from ,000 to $3,000 apiece. This campaign said to have netted him over $60,0 in cash. Re tuning to New York, he took ?lent apartments in the first story of e Everett House, at $125 a week^ inging with him a tall, distingue )king blonde, whom he introduced as adam Paraf. The money which he d made "down East" he flung ound him in the most lavish style. 3 would take absolute pleasure in ming $1,000 or $2,000 at a time to a end, and would even press it upon , e latter if he thought him in want, s gave elegant dinner parties at Delmico's, at which men well known in ientiflo, mercantile and legal circles * A- IT- 1 J1 J?* jre welcome gueBis. ne wornu unve imo late in the evening and allow the rriage to stand uutside all night, too clolcnt to send down the order for its 3missal, but perfectly willing to pay 5 or $30 to the driver in the morng for his" tr6uble.

When the ""onaline black " ^as ex.usted by the discovery of the fact that e owner and patentee in Europe was ming over to make those who had used pay roundly for the privilege, Paraf rried his explorations into another ;ld. He professed to have hit upon a athod of employing the extract of madir in calico printing at a much cheaper te than that in common use. He lied upon Gov. Sprague, of Rhode j land, and laid his plans before him. le two together took a trip to Prov- [ ince, where Paraf performed his ex- i (riments so snocessfnllv that the } Dvernor became convinced of the valne | the invention, and paid the Chevalier 5,000 down, with a contingent interest royalty on the profits that might be ode ont of the undertaking. Madder irks were started in Providence, and . imposing office rented at 42 Broadly, in this city. For a time everything : ;nt on swimmingly, and Paraf overbed with money. His entertainments Delmonico's became more lavish than er, and one in particular that he gave Hassan, the Tunisian Ambassador, is a marvel of richness and luxury.

Vhy, it's good butter," said L ' Yes,'!, plied he triumphantly, ' and it's made I thout one particle of milk.'" This was the foundation of the oleoirgarine scheme, at least as far as ! nerica was concerned. The process d originally been discovered in Paris tring the siege by the Germans?the vernment having offered a reward to y one who would produce an artificial . itter. The gist of the scheme lay in e conversion of the fat of cattle into i substance resembling butter, by the |. e ot pepsin?a metnoa wmcn was supised to accomplish in another aDd a eaper -way what was effected by the ocesB of digestion in the cow's stomach. 1 >ecimens of the butter were prepared | Dr. Chandler's laboratoiy and the i hool of Mines in Columbia College, i d submitted to R. Ogden Doremus ' r analysis. The result of the analysis ' is favorable,, and a joint stock "oleo- i urgarine " company with a capital of i 00,000 was formed. i The first thing that led to suspicion the soundness of this new venture i is the discovery by the Chevalier's < tvyer that the process had already 1 en patented in JYance, and that Paraf, ' instead of being the original inventor, F was at best bnt an adapter of the plans of others. This fact alone vitiated all the patents under which the company waa working, and it became necessary . to effect a reorganization. T. 0. Dore- Jr mus, a son of the professor, went to , Paris, and bought the right of manufac- P ture in America for $10,000. It was afterward discovered that Paraf had merely "cribbed " his ideas from Mege 11 Mouriez, the original author, and the n disgust of the inventors was not less- a ened by the fact that a few months pre- & vious a process almost identical with 1< Paraf's had been described in the col- d: umns of Appleton'a Journal.

A company was ^ organized and over 81,250,000 were sunk before the swindle was discovered and 0j Paraf arrested. j y How a Newspaper is Made. From an article in Harper'a Maga- t< zine, entitled " The Metropolitan News- ti paper," we take the following vivid de- n< scription of the manner in which the ei reading matter of a New York morning ai newspaper is prepared for publication: 11 A close, low-roofed, smoky room, d; lighted by innumerable Argand burners, and filled with little .desks, at which sat . bnsv, stooping men, puffing cigars, and jf fu?rihhlmc with nons or riencils at light- ! t* ning speed?that "was the next scene g, opened to them. On some of the desks ai there were piles upon piles of news- w papers from points as far apart and as Ci varied as the capitals of Europe and p( plaintive oncosts on the for western plains. A little tin box shot up and ^ down a wooden shaft in the middle of g] the room, into which rolls of manuscript ^ were put by an office boy, who rushed w from desk to desk and gathered the w sheets as they came from the writers' b, hands. From time to time a nervous, af sharp-voiced, imperative gentleman in a w rery much soiled linen duster, called to ft one or the other of the workers, and af gave orders which would have been quite m unintelligible to a layman, who might have mistaken the establishment for a p, slaughter-house, when he heard a pale- a[ faced little gentleman requested to p, " make a paragraph of the Pope," " cut down Anna Dickenson," "double-lead m General Grant," "put a minion cap f0 head*on Peter Cooper," and " boil down or the Evangelical Alliance." But making j 0t a paragraph of the Pope, simply applied to the compression of some news con- so cerning him into that space; the "minion fr cap head " intended for the venerable te philanthropist meant the kind of type j Bfl to be used in the title of a speech or , sc lecture of his; and " boiling down " and j i3 "cutting down" were two technicalities . g( expressing condensation. The gentle- j th man in the linen duster was the night; b< editor in charge, the despot of the hour, j th and the intermediary between the writers j g, and printers, the latter being on the j fa floor above, and the little tin box in the j abaft communicating with them. | U( By three o'clock the last line of copy fcr must be in the printers' hands, and from ^ midnight until that time a newspaper in the editorial department is in e state of w nervous intensity and activity for which gj I can imagine no parallel. _ it nru,* f*nm +V10 ninwrfl and nines n JLULC ouuuav AiViU vuv x?r u rolled up to the ceiling, anJ the pens pi sped over the pages of manuscript paper. w The writers bent to their work with y tremendous earnestness and concentru- n, tion; there was not one of thorn who I tl had written la|e than a* column of mat- j a, ter that night, and some of them were j w closing two and tliree column articles, e\ which contained nearly as many words as five pages of Harper's Magazine, q They were pale and care-worn. One of $ them was heading and sub-heading cable > dispatches from the seat of war, another i it was writing editorial paragraphs on the w important telegraphic dispatches, an- , i? other was condemning a uew pinj- iu ai virulent prose, another was revising a a] thrilling account of a murder, another i tj was transcribing his stenographic notes | p of a speech on the inflation of the cur- I e] rency, another was putting the finishing i ft touches on a well-considered article j tl criticising a debate in the Frenoh As- J gsembly, and another was absorbed in the f d, description of a yacht race. The little ; 8] tin box in the shaft bounced up and i a down more frequently, and the night ^ editor became more nervous and im- ; g perative than ever, as the fingers on the 1 big clock on the wall went beyond two. The pages of manuscript went up one by one, and long moist proof-sheets j " came down from the composing-room. ! P Then the "cutting down "began, and j" some of the writers saw articles that had , cost them hours of research annihilated > by the stroke of a pen, or reduced from ; , columns to paragraphs?not on account of I unimportance, but simply because there i aj is always a superfluity of matter, con- i ? trary to the erroneous notion that j the editor's great difficulty is to fill his j columns?and in some instances even I ? the paragraphs were finally omitted to J1 to make room for unexpected news that j had arrived later. Telegrams were still ' h' coming in at half-past two, but soon ' b< after one dispatch brought the words, I "good night," and that meant the clos- ! it ing. The night editor and his assistant ! tl' now disappeared into the composing- j tl room, where they remained to superin- ; fit tend the making up of the forms, and i.i.* ? 4-l^rv /lrtolra nvAnarpd fn lpfivp. l/IlU UiUU Ub l/iio v4WOi*u ? _j ( or threw themselves buck in their chairs t' for a chat and more smoke. > it Female Suffrage Refused. p] A telegram from Leland, 111., to the i Cincinnati Gazette, dated the day after y( election, says: An incident which created I ej quite a ripple of excitement yesterday 80 afternoon was the appearance at the polls of Misses Hughes, Hurd and 1 fn Squires, lady teachers in the public j 0f schools, who went together to the polls j aj and insisted upon casting their votes for j ^ Bchool commissioner, their argument ftf being that if a woman was intelligent 8t enough and had a right to be a school j ^ commissioner, she ought to be allowed ! te to express a choice in the matter. The ! anti-woman suffragists were on hand in ! m force, among them being the street com- j missioner, who demanded that they pay j ^ a poll-tax if the judge allowed them to j vote. This created a big laugh among 1 sa the hangers on about the polls, but the w ladies insisted, as they retired, that in the refusal of the judges to receive thenvotes they were denied their rights. 0f A little five-year-old fellow came up to gt his mother the other morning, and with cc rrroftf oftmPHtnfiss said : " Mother, I saw ea something rtm across the kitchen floor at this morning, and it hadn't any legs ar either; what do yon suppose it was ?" gi He mother's curiosity was excited at bi the apparent strangeness of the supposed animal, an J, not knowing what else to te gay, she said she supposed it was a ib worm, or something of that sort, she did til oot know what.

Plowing, to be thorough, should be so jrformed that the soil shall be broken id made as fine as possible; you cannot m llverize too muclu 01 Plow deep is a relative term, and may ai ean very differently on different soils, m r while four inches may be deep for m le soil, ten or twelve may be less so on " hers, so that here we muBt be governed tr 7 the nature of the soil plowed. Sub-) w il ploughing is a distinctive difference st om the common acceptation of the w rm plowing, yet is often used with the bi me meaning. Sub-soiling on most ai lis, in connection with good plowing, in one of the essentials of certainty of a al xxl product; the deeper and more al loroughly the pub-soil is broken the ai jtter, as no crop will be likely to suffer ai ie effects of drought or wet where the ? ound is sub-soiled, as whers only sur- ci ce plowed. si In plowing under manure it should d 5t be turned down to the bottom of the n irned soil, if we wish the benefit of u ly portion of it in the present crop. p The nearer the surface, and have it p ivered in the soil, we keep manure, the ti reater benefit the crop will receive from r< . Herein lies one benefit of plowing r< nder the manure shallow, and again a lowing the same ground a trifle deeper; v hich, while it mixes the manure with fa ie soil, still keeps the greatest portion n ear the eurface, just where the roots of s< ie young plant will be benefited by it; b ad as the water of rains dissolve and ii ash down the portions of the salts, a tc., the later roots of the same plants p nd and appropriate what they most re- a: uire, and thus the manure is equalized ti irongh the soil. I b Southern men have informed me that j a , would not answer to plow deep, as j h ith their sudden powerful showers the j V md would go seaward, from washing, I, lppose; however that may be I am un-, ble to say, as I have no experience ' wl>n^ T VflQ/1 nf t.VlA AT. ! ? itJfCj UUt Hum nuau a. *.vm* vr* v**w ^ erience of the most successful South- | a rn planters, I think I should venture a i j; -ial and see the result.

PIt is said that the color of the inside 01 the cow's ear affords an infallible Ul lide to the selection of a good butter w. If the'skin on the inside of the x is of a rich yellow or orange oolor 8id the lining of the ear is covered with i oily secretion, the cow will be sure to " ve a good quality of milk, rich in ltter. p Cows that produce a high-colored but- h r have a large amount of the secretion, w ie inside of the ear being of an orange w at. On the other hand, light-colored b ltter makers present a scanty, thin, it ile yellow secretion, in some cases w itind only at the bottom of the ear, rr hile the' inside lining is of a corre- c< pondingly pale, undefined color.' ivery male of the bovine family has the lower of secreting a certain amount of his oily matter. If the quantity be ormally large, secretion will take place reelv in the mammary glands, the ear nd the skin. As the test is simple and osts nothing, it cannot fail to prove useful auxiliary to the dairyman and irmer in their selection of rich milkers. -Indiana Farmer.

A very curious case has its existence dw in Jamestown, N. Y. It seems that l the morning of April 23, Mrs. Hay, x employe of the Jamestown alpaca ills, went from her home, adjoining the ills, to the basement story of the weave-room " to feed some fancy pouly. In some unknown way her hair, orn loosely, caught in a horizontal iaft, revolving rapidly, and the scalp as torn off from the neck to the eyerows, leaving the skull entirely bare, id making a wound 159 square inches l extent She walked to her home, jout 000 feet distant, and gave orders x)ut sending for a Burgeon. At first l attempt was made to replace the scalp, id it was patohed up and sewed on, but x>n began to Blough off, and the phvsians were at a loss as to the course they lould pursue. The case had no preceent,and for a time they were completely onpluBsed. At last, however, they hit pon the experiment of grafting, and ublished a card in the daily papers exlaining the case, and asking contribuons from young and healthy people to jplace the scalp. The young people ssponded in goodly numbers to the call, ad the doctors took from .their arms a ery Small piece of skin, which, was ansfftrred to the head of the unfortu ate lady. At first the experiment seined doubtful, but at last the grafts egan to adhere, and the patient is now 1 a fair way of recovory. Two hundred nd forty-one "plants" have been aplied, which cover about half the scalp, d the remainder will be placed in posion as soon as possible. Mrs. Hay has een unconscious for days, but enthu&istic physicians who have the case in and are sanguine that she will ultimate7 recover. A Challenge to the Courtiers. Crantz, in his "Saxon History," tells s of an Earl of Alsatia, snrnamed on ccount'of his great strength, "The iion;" who was a favorite of Edward lie Third, of England, and mnch Qvied, as favorites are always snre to e, by the rest of the courtiers. On ne occasion, when the king was absent, Dme noblemen maliciously instigated le queen to make trial of the noble lood of the favorite, by causing a lion ) be let loose npon him, saying, accordig to the popular belief, that if the orl was truly noble, the lion would not )uch him. It being customary with the orl to rise at the break of day, before ny other person in the palace was stiring, a lion was let loose during the ight and turned into the lower court. Vaen the earl came down in the morn1 g, with no more than a night-gown ost over his shirt, he was met by the " " - -1 1: .1^ on, bristling ms nair, ana growiuiy uctraction between his teeth.

At iese words, the lion crouched at his feet, > the great amazement of the courtiers, 'ho were peeping out at every window > see the issue of their ungenerous degn. The earl laid hold of the lion by le mane, turning him into his cage, and lacing his night-cap on the lion's back, ime forth without casting a look beind. "Now," said the earl, calling nt to the courtiers, "let him among 3u all that standeth must upon his sdigree, go and fetch my night-cap." Words of Wisdom.
