J 18 30 The Sonn of Temperance at Live Oak, Florida, were recently agitated upon it niou aud difficult point.

Hin I I ?I i Im i I ? .1 ...... y i i. i,.in. . =g CO NTS-i STOW OP LTDli SllRBMiN?A Fsabfutj Stobt of Crimb.?The main Eointa of confession made bj Mrs. ijdia Sherman, the poisoner, who was aentenoed to the penitentiary for life at New Haven to day, has been p?b)iahed. It is a fearful atory of crime. Mrs. Sherman was arrested in June, 1871, at New Brunswick, New Jersey, oh; the charge of having murdered her husband, Horatio M. Sherman, at Derby, iu 1871. She was altos charged with murdering two of his ohildrea, but Was .only tried for the first orimo. Besides these she was said to have .poisoned two other; hnsbands and several of their children. The trial occurred in March, 1872, in New Haven, and was,, noticeable among poison trials for. the very clear testimony of Profess?r Barker, of Yale College, who had exemine&fthe remains of the first mentioned victim. The trial re? sulted in a vordiot of murder in the second degree?the jury uniting in oon altering her guilty, but allowing that the OirOamstanlinl nature of the evidence permitted of a reasonable doubt. Since she has beou imprisoned her mind has been seriously troubled, aud recently she has made a full confessiou of her guilt, and expresses herself us much relieved thereby. On the 28th ?f December, she began her story to the jailer, Cape. Webster. Mrs. Sherman is a very iguoruut woman. She can scarcely write at all. She is unable to remember dares with any ac? curacy; so that part of her narrative is vague. Mrs. Sherman's story is as fol? lows: She was boru iu New Brunswick, N. J., in 1825, und was early left an or? phan. At the uge of Heven teen sbe joined the Methodist Church, and at a (ovo feast there she met Edward S. Struck, whom sho subsequently married. Mr. Struok in time became a policeman at Yorkville, one of the suburbs of New York city. Oj? night there was a row in a saloon on his beat and a detective was killed. Struck was off without leave; he wus reprimanded aud disgrac? ed. It troubled bim very much and weighed so on his mind that he became orazy, and had a softeuiag of the brain. He then waa discharged. When he re? covered, it was only to be very feeble, physically, and unable to get any work, so that he was only a burden to his wife. One day a male friend of here suggested to her that she could get rid of tbe man by poison. She took kindly to the idea aud gave him some arsenic iu his food, and she also, with some poison, killed their youngest two children, bo that they also should not be burdens to her, and should not have, as she says, to grow up to life's oarea. She was not suspected of this murder, and soon after ehe went to Litchfield to live. Here she met one Dennis Hnrlbut, und married him, but she didn't get along satisfactorily to her? self with bim, aud so she poisoned bim. Soon after his doath she was told by a friend that there was a man in Derby named Horatio M. Sherman, who had plenty of money, aud had lost his wife, and that by skillful management, if she wanted a third husband, she could pro? bably got him. Accordingly she went there and applied to bim for tbe place of housekeeper in his family, aud he en? gaged her, and subsequently she suc? ceeded in marrying bim. He bad two small ohildreu, Ada and Frankie, and these she determined to poison, and did poison; but she did not plan to poison Sherman. She iutended to employ the arsenic upon rats in ber house as well as to kill the children, aud she purchased it in New Haven, iu Feck's drug store, with the first mentioned object. She took the package home and put it on a bhelf beside a similar package of salera? tns. Mr. Sherman used to drink a great deal of ciier, into which he would put saleratns to make it foam. This was his favorite drink. The saleratns and the arsenic ou the shelf became mixed in some way. This was not, therefore, such a clear case of murder astbeotber*. Iu fact, sho merely neglected to waru him of his danger. It is curious that tho only death for which sho could not be held accountable, according to her owu story, should be that for which she has beou convicted. An Attbupt to Swindle Methodists. The Western Christian Advocate f*ayw: Wo are informed that there are circulars afloat, intended to impose upon Metho? dists most shamefully. They are said to announce a graud national church fair und concert, for tho erection of the "Bethesda Mission House," etc., aod propose a lottery scheme. To them are signed a half dozeu or so of the names of "Conference Presidents." Of course, all such schemes are fraudulent, uud auy man of common sense uud ordinary in? formation?especially if he is a chinch member?ought ut once to recoguizu that fuob. All lotteries are illegal, im inoial. The Methodist Episcopal Church would as soon set up a dram shop as it would propose u lottery scheme It is almost needless to add that no minister of the Methodist EpUcopal Church would attach his nume to such circulars If, therefore, auy persons have pat money iuto this scheme ou the ground that they were aiding a charity, they must oomo to tho uncomfortable con? clusion that they have been hoodwinked und outwitted by sharpers. A well dressed traveler was recently taken ill at Saginaw, Mich., aud though tho doctor saw uo cause for alarm, the patient got low-spirited, thought ho was going to die, und r< quested the doctor to break tho news to a girl in Borne, whom he loved dearer thai: life; he must do it gently, for she was .a tender flower, and might "wilt." So all tenderly tho doctor wrote, and this was tbe response I from the loving girl: "Dr. D-: I cure nothing for that Mr. D-, nor to hear from him. You will please tell him to send no more word.

If any one doubts that a' stupendous financial re? vulsion is not coming witbin a few years, let him look over tbe reoently published Statement of the public debts of the nations of the world. The aggregate is terrible. It oomprises a sum almost beyond * the comprehension of the hu? man mfnd, Pat down in figures it is $19,127,251,367. The assessed valua? tion of property in all the States and Territories of the United States, accord? ing to the census of 1870, was $14,334, 848,475* The nations of the world owe, therefore, more money than this mighty republic, stretching from ocean to ocean, and peopled With 40,000,000 of inhabitant*, would bring if put np at auction. Among the heaviest of these debtors are: Franoe, which owes $5,000. 000,000; Great Britein, $2,250,000,000; United States. $2,000,000,000; Bussia, $1,700,000,000; AuBtria, $1,500,000,000; Spain, $1^500,000,000; Italy, $1,375. ?O?.?u?; Turkey, $650,000,000; Ger? many, $600,000,000; Portugal, $325, 000,000; Mozioo, $300,000,000. Of these Great Britain and the United States are probably good for principal and iuterest. Frauoe, Bussia and Ger-' many will struggle for years to come with their fiuanoial burdens, and it depends upon the stability of their present go? vernments if they ever pay up in full. Austria and Italy are still worse off, and Spain, Portugal aud Mexico are virtually bankrupt; the first two are obliged to issue new bonds to pay the interest on their old debts, and the latter pays no iuterest at all. If the nations of the world would halt right here aud cease to pile up their liabilities by the millions daily, thore might bo some chanoe of saving the financial character of some of them, but they are, with the exception of Great Britain, Holland aud the United States, rushing toward the vortex of in? solvency with the most amazing reck? lessness. They are like tho spendthrift wht* never ceases to borrow as long as his credit lasts. Daring the past ten years tho aggregate of the debts of the nations has increased $9,413,500,000, or more thau doubled. What will it be tan years hence? The burden of taxation must become heavier every year, and finally the people, exhausted to the labt degree of patience, will revolt and over? throw the governments which have plunged them iuto such pecuniary u.ffi cullies. It is not difficult to predict what will follow. Bepudiation certainly will; and when the financial fabric of Europe comes down with such a crash, the whole world will be shaken. It is idle to supposo that we can eecape some of the consequeuoes of the disaster. We live in a glass house in respect to our private business transactions, and with the universal unsettling of values aud the tightest money market the world has ever kuown, where will we be?

Women in the Exact Sciences.?Miss Maria Mitchell, Professor of Astronomy at Vassar College, recently delivered a lecture on the "Seven Stars of the Great Bear," at the Friends' Meeting House, Gramercy Park, N. Y., iu whioh she al? luded to the woman question. She thought women eminently fitted for suc? cess in astronomy, or any other soienoo requiring precision and patience, in? stancing Caroline H?rschel and Mrs. Summerfield. The former gave invalua? ble help to her brother, the great Sir William H?rschel, and herself made dis? coveries in astronomy. Mrs. Summer field translated the four great folio vo? lumes of La Place into Eoglrfh. The New York Express says: "Aman can take $100, (if he has it,) take a re? turn passage iu one of the Conard steam? ers, go to Europe, stay there a month at his own expense, and come back again with a suit of clothes on his back whioh would cost 850 here, aud, if he is very economical, can have a few dollars iu his pocket out of the 8100 when he arrives back again.
