The excitement is caused by the discovery of another "trank horror," whioh bids fair to outdo for brutality, Seo., that whioh startled New York a short time ago. On Satur? day last, the Station Master and tho officers engaged at the Grand Trunk Railroad Depot experienced a horrible smell, whioh seemed to proceed from a trank left behind by a passenger who bad orossed over to Levi's in tho ferry boat. The box was immediately opened by the omcers in the station, and soon tho form of a woman was revealed to their view, and the smell was then fear? ful. The body was in a shockingly-mu? tilated oondition. The arms and legs bad been out off, the flesh was hacked off in all direotions, for, it is presumed, oonvenienoe in paoking, and the head I was out off and wrapped in rags in one oorner of the box. The whole sight was horrible and sickening.

SLAVE TRADE IN POLYNESIA.-A gen? tleman who bas recently returned from a voyage to tbe Westward desoribes the slave trado of tho South Pacific as terri? ble in the oxtreme. Some fifteen or six? teen vessels are employed kidnapping natives to cultivate cotton at Fiji, Queensland and Tahiti. Formerly, when a vessel neared those islands, hundreds of natives went aboard to welcome tho strangers; but now, wben n vossel issoen off the island, tho natives nt once go in? land. The mode adopted to obtain these simple people is horrible to contemplate Late in the night, a boat leaves the ves? sel, with ten or fifteen rufllanB. After effecting a landing, they cautiously got | bobind a native house and set fire to tbo thatched roof. Tho inmates rush out, and oro at once ironed. Then tho peo? ple como from tho neighboring houses, generally two or three at a timo, and as they approach aro scoured. It is quite customary, on any attempt to escape, to shoot them down like dogs. Tho Bri? tish Govornmont has asked tho Austra? lian colonies to assume such protectorate as will stop this inhuman trado on the adjacent islands, if it oan be o?eoted without cost,-San Francisco Bulletin, THB SA? STOBT OF A WOMAN'S LIM. - -i rino th? Btt?i? wrook o' a wO?i?u-iuO batt of aa uaraly pablio'a ridiculo io St. Louis-who* a dozen years ago, was re? garded as ohed tho most talented and fascinating actresses on the A m ?noan stage? No theatre-goer of any maturity bat can readily recall the time when the announcement of (Matilda Heron's en? gagement waa all that waa necessary to orowd the houses, to draw out those oiasses that visit the theatres only opon occasions of Special attraction, to Beca re oolumn notices from the newspapers, i and to renew, time after time, the admi? ration and applause to which she waa entitled. Her "Camille" was one of the drat representations in the modern real? istic school, whioh has since become so popular. It was intense, persoaal, har? rowing. Moreover, her talent had se oared ampio recognition in other ways from both the profession and pnblio. She was an accomplished elocutionist, a writer of ability, ihs anther of several plays, a woman of generous impulses and laudable ambition. Soddenly tho star of Matilda Heron fell from the high firmament of pnblio favor. The actress and the woman alike disappeared* never again to return to the popularity whioh bad been snatched from ber. Those who have thonght about the matter at all were satisfied to attribute the chango to the whims of a fiokle public. There was something in the pnblio papers about, domestic trou? bles, which.created a small ripple of sen? sation, and there it ended. It was nevor known that the secret of her Budden dis? appearance, of her subsequent failures, was that ia whioh anatomists feign to disbelieve-a broken heart. Matilda Heron, in the very greatest brilliancy of her career, became fasci? nated with a man who bad gained some reputation as a musician, a composer, and leader of an orchestra. It was hit musio that won her. She loved him, and married him because she loved him Ho had other motives, lt was not bei talent, it was not her personal appear anoe, it was not her kind heart, or goori reputation, whioh attracted him. It wai the money whioh she had earned ant her ability to earn more. It did nol take long for the loving but deceiver! wife to disoover this. Harsh things anc sorrowful things are quickly forced npoi oar comprehension in this world. Matilda Heron no sooner became oon vinced of this than she set about to d< what only her own generous, but pecu liar, nature could have suggested. "H married me for my money," she said t< ber friends, "and bo shall have it." Shi at once proceeded to make over to bin in legal form her house, ber wardrobe ber diamonds, overythiogof value whicl she had in the world. It was in vail that hor friends attempted to dissuade ber from a course so absnrd from a utili tarrion point of viow. She was obstinat in her purpose, and completed tho sac ri fice by paying this man $1,800 a yea rent for tho very house whioh she deedci to him, and whioh she bad paid for wit! her own hardly-earned money. Of tbi husband, it is a sufficient indication c character to Bay that be acceptod all thie Matilda Horon had no heart for tb stage af ter this. She determined to ear hor living by teaching elocution. Bu pupils were few for the woman who wo now poor and obscure. She remove from one residence to another, trying t live by economy when sho could nt work. It was bf no uso. She was force again to try tho stogo. But grief ha made sad havoa with her spirits, tim dreadful inroads upon her attractions. "You eau never please tho publie wit that figure," said one manager to her. "The public will look only at tl heart'and brains of Matilda Heron," st said, confidently. But her confidence was misplacei The pnblio had found now idols an neglected its old favorite. Then el wrote new plays, in wbioh she boped I attract with novelty. One of "them, it remembered, was called "Tho Belle ol Somewhere. "It is an excellent play," said the m nager who produced it for her, "bub needs a belle." Tho next that is heard, this poa broken woman is the laughing stock a St. Louis audience, because of h misfortunes and tho negligence of h manager. They speak of her now "crazy," and perhaps thoy are rigb She has certainly bud trials and gri enough to mako her so.-Chicago Tim A TwELPru-NiouT PABTV.-The fii essential of a twelfth-night party is large richly-frosted plum-cake, in whii a dried poa and a bean is baked. Ti London pastry cooks ornament the cakes with all sorts of devices ia sogar kings, queens, lords, ladies, dragoi lions, fish, milk-maids, serpents, ai innumerable other forms. With the are sold "characters"-a series of past board slips, each bearing a small pic ta and a few rhymes, more, or less oom These slips are numbered; those mea for girls are put with one box, and thc for boys with another. Wheo the you people are all assembled, the eake is c into slices corresponding to the numl of the company. The boy who dra tho bean is pronounced king, the g who draws tho poa, queen. Their n jestios aro solemnly enthroned, side side, in two large chairs, and the bo: of "characters" are passod about arno tho rest of tho pnrty, each child bei expected to road bis or her verso alot and to support the charactor drawn : the rest of the ovoning.

A DREADFUL FATS-A WOMAN AND FOUR CHILDREN FROZEN TO DEATH.-A letter in the St. Paul Pioneer, from Man kato, Minnesota, relates tho freezing to death of a woman and her four children in Noble County, that State, during the absence of the drunken husband and father, who left thom destitute during tho recent dreadful cold weather. The letter says he left her out on tho open prairie, in tho dead of winter, with acareo a stick of wood, and, what is still more incredible, while sho was daily ex peotiag confinement. Tho day after ho left carno the fearful storm of tho 2d, and when thnt was expended tho poor woman found herself without fuel. She know that sho could scarcely expect her husband home for several days, as it cook that timo generully for him to re? cover from his sprees, ?md thc convic? tion came to her that her family would noon freeze to death unless succor could be had from the neighbors, the nearest of whom was threo miles distant. So on Monday, this dosperate woman, at that time in so dolieuto a coudition that she might bo confined to her bed, startod out in the fierce cold for help. At lonst Buch ia tho supposition, for tho next day some of tho neighbors found bur body, together with that of a new-born bubo, stark stiff in a snow bank, whero she hud fallen faint and porished. . . _ -. -. - Serious family and political differences aro eaid to oxiat between the Czar Alex? ander, of Bussia, and his eldest son, the hereditary Grund Duke. Tho Czar pro? f?re to speak in the German language tho lungnago of his mother und wife while the Grand Duke, who is tho fana? tical leader of thc National or Old Rus sian party, tho basis of which is antipa? thy to all foreignisms-a Bort of Know Nothing Cossack, in fino-converses only in Bu8siun, and allows no ono to address him in a foreign langnage, unloss it be a foreigner. In pursuuuee of his rigid BuBsianism, thu Grund Duke discards all these foreign customs which have here? tofore been prevalent at tho Court of St. Petersburg. The consequence is, that the breach between him and his Impe? rial father is constantly widening, and tho Czar, it is reported, docs not wish bia oldest eon to succeed, him, but that his brother Constuntino should bo Em? peror after him. m ? * There is a terrible emphasis in almost tho last words which tho paricide Ware uttered when on tho scaffold, tho other day: "If I had ovor received half tho at? tention before I got into prison that I have nineo, I never would havo boon hore." His lifo and that ol the whole family was ono of disgusting brutality, squalor, ignorance and lust, that would have disgraced a Hottentot kraal, where? as, it was spent in a pleasant Now Jersey village, hardly an hour's ride from oither New York or Philadelphia. Ho knew nothing of religion; tho name of Jesus was only familiar a3 adding emphasis to an oath, aud*tho mysteries of revelation were as unknown to him as tho language of the Talmud. When asked if ho be? lieved in Christ, ho said: "I don't be? lieve in Jesus; I don't know nothing about him;" and with those words frosh on his lips, he was sont to his account. And yet we contribute hundreds of thousands to tho causo of foreign mis? sions. Hungry young men in Fort Wayne, Ind., do not starve to death. A party of them recently ordered and atc u large dinner at a restaurant, and when it was ficiuhed each insisted on payiDg for the whole. Taking tho good-humored waiter into their consultation, it was finally decided that the waiter should be blindfolded, and tho first ono of them that he caught should pay tho bill. The youths then quietly departed, und in about fifteen minutes the waiter sprang upon the proprietor of tho restaurant, who waa just returning from au errand. The waiter has gone on n foreign mis? sion. At a World's Fair, a farmer, a bishop, a general and an emperor wero extolling their several callings and positions.
