MURDER HOST FOUL.

Itmtt Cavendisr, the New Chief a.jcreUury (or Ireland, avnd Rlr. Bnrke, tbe Under Seoreuury, Brutally Aaasalnnted. As tliey were taking a walk in Phcsnix Park, Dublin, after dinner, Lord Frederick Cavendish, the new Chief Secretary for Ireland, and Thomas H. Burke, the Under Secretary, were -waylaid and murdered by four assassins, who hid evidently thoroughly prepared themselves for the bloody deed. Two of the misorcants retained their seats in tho c&r in which tbe quartette had dr.ven to thb park. Tho other two, armed with knives, made n simultaneous attack on tho two defenseless and mnmspoctiiig gontlonioa. With tho foiocity of banditti they out and slashed at tboir victims, who made a desperate but unavailing struggle for their lives. ItapiMors that tho two murdered otHcials left tbo Uuder Secretary's house about 7 o'clock in the evening to walk over to tho Chief Secretary's residence. While passing through tbo park they were attacked by four men wearing

nouou'ti nats. it is snpposoa mat. r. xsurao was first assaulted and stabbed through the heart. Lord Frederick Cavendish attempted to defend him, but he, too, was stubbed by the assassins. They repeatedly plunged their knives into the breasts of their victims, and, having cut their throats, they got on a car and drove rapidly from the park. A boy named Jacob states that wbilo birdsnesting in tbi park ha saw, about 200 yards from where he was and close to the road, a group of men ac if wrestling. He the light they were roughs, and did not pay attention to them. Ho then saw two men fall tc the ground, and four others jump on a car and drive off toward Chiipeligod, which lies in a direction opposite to the city. Tlity drove at a rapid pice, and ho could not give any description of the appearance of iho m n, A gentleman named Hagtiire and a friend, who were on tricycles, shortly before had passed Mr. Burke and l.(rd -Frederick Cavendish when en their way along tho main road through tho park, and on their return journey thoy found the Chief Secretary lying in the oenter of the carriageway and Mr. Burke prostrate upon the pathway. Both gentlemen were lying in largo pools of blood. They informed the police at Park Gste Station of what they had seen. The polioo nt onoe proceeded to the scono of the murder and convened the bodios to tho hospital. On ex

amination it wail found Mr. Burke had received

several stabs near the region or tbe heart and his tbrnat had been cut almost completely across. His clothes were completely saturated with blood, and the hemorrhage must hnro been tremendous. His clothes were alv) torn. Hu gloves had been torn in many plucea, and hit ands bore murks suggestive of a licrco encounter with bis aaiailiuita. Lord Frederick did not wear gloves. He had been etahbed in several places a bout the chest One wotn.d T.-xa through the right lung and penetrated deeply. At the nine of the drendiul occurrence tbe park, as might lie expected on a lovely evening, was crowded in many places with jv-'ople. The news rapidly spread, and created tho wildest excitement and consternation in the city. Lord Cavendish was 16 years old. Ho was the second suniving son of tho seventh Duke of Devonshire, and was educated at Trinity College, Cambr.dgo. He entered apon hu political career ii 1859, when he became iho Private Secretary cf Earl Granville, then President of the Council. This position he bold until 1864. Since 18( 5 he had represented the Northwest Biding of Yorkshiro iu Parliament Mr. Bnrke, tie other victim of the assassins, has been Under Secretary since 1870.

THE TUBERCULAR PARASITE, Tbe Henaarkable Diacwerjr of a German Pbynicinu. (From the Chicago Tribune. That monster, consumption, which the poets hnvo described as horsed on tho oast winds and hooting bis rat -J I arrows broadcast, it would now.ocem bas at hist i-ecn brought to bay by scfc nco. Tho great, discovery of the upleucUc fever producing bacilli by the eminent French phjsicau, raxtcuT, and bis cure by inoculalion, which prodncce a mild disease instead of a ft vero one, has been followed by a discovery that iromteo.i to bo more important in its rotlilta by Dr. Koch, of B tIul Dr. Pasteur is saving ihe lives of fchcep and cattle by inoculation villi tbe hne Hus after it has been n-o tilieil in iU character by cultivation iu tho bodies of boviues. Dr. Koch may yet savo the lives of human beings from tho results of dboavca bitheito considered incurable by a very similar process. Prof. Tyndall, who has carefully studied Dr. Koch's cx'porimentA, and who, it will be remembered, nag tho original dUcovererof tho bacteria and their insidious danger io man, has written to tho London Times his impressions of Koch's discovery. In tho oourte of his examinations ho found in every case that tho tubercles contained a parasite', tho bacillus, and that it was tins minute organism that produced the tubercle, and, transferring by inoculation the tuberculous matter from diseased to healthy animals, he never failed to produce the disease. He developed several generations ot the bacilli without the intervention of disease, and these purified narasitos in every cose also generated tho disease. These experiments were so many times repeated with different annuls and iu different forms that there can remain no doubt Unit Dr. Koch has discovered what has never beon known beforer-the origin of consumption and of other diseases like pneumonia and phthisis. This is a great step gained. The cause discovered, it now remains for science to find the remedy that will destroy these parasites and prevent their recurrence by inoculation or gome other form of cure. Pasteur's remedy, in coses of splenic fever, as we have already said, is inoculation with tho bacillus after it has been modified in character by cultivation. Dr. Koch has attempted a similar moaiflcaUon with the tubercle paratiite, but after repeated cultivation the virulence remains. Prof. Tynd&U and those competent to prououuee an opinion, bowever, behove that the intensity of virulence will be greatly diminished by future experiment in cultivation. Meanwhile it is not a secret iu tho medical world, or at least among some ol tho more eminent physicians, that Dr. Pasteur himself has mado experiments of a highly interesting character in the destruction of tliesei parasites. It is well known to all surgeons that carbolic acid is very efficacious in destroying bacteria in gunshot wonnds, cword-outs or other injuries of this kind, and that tlie proper use of its agency has been hindered by its impurity. Dr. Puituur found it upon analysis to contain traces of poison and foreign substances that were harmful enough to prevent its pertect -operation, and snco-edod in removing them and producing a perfectly pure acid, with which he has been experimenting by hypodermio injections with i emarkublo success in cases of consumption snd its kindred dfeeases, as well as cancer. Whore tho diseases were long-seated and the Sationt too weak and too far gone to resist tho iseaue, bo has prolonged life, nud in the incipient stages ho has oured in almost every case. Consumption is the ghasllitst and most deadly foo that confronts tlie human race. It is almost universal. It is no rospec'or or persons or of nations. Dr. Koch himself gays that "If the seriousness of a malady be incasnred by tbo nnmber of victims, then the most dreaded pests which have hitherto ravaged the world plague and cholera included Must stand far behind tho one (consumption) now nndei consideration;" and that one -seventh of tbo deaths of the human race i.re due to tubercular diseato, while fully one-third of those who i''o in active middle age are carried off l y tho same causo.

Bignor Balvini contributes to the Century Magazine, a paper of "Impressions of tome Eihakspearean Characters," in whioh ho gives at some length his analysis of "Hamlet," "Macbeth," and "Othello." In the coarse of the paper lie nskes 'the following interesting suggestion regarding the part of Lady Macbeth: On first reading this grand tragedy, it was ti icat'r of surprise to mo that the sleep-walking scene was assigned to Lsuly Macbeth rather than to Macbeth himself. It occurs in the beginning of the fif tli act, find up to that time when the laily-in-wiiiiing and the Doctor speak of it, t Lore in no suspicion of her suffering from this malady. In the opening of the trag. dy, when she reads her husbnutl's letter informing her of the prediction of his coming greatneiis, she concedes the idea of the crime that is to insure it; tihe implores him to return, so that; with all the force of her powerful nature sh3 may infuse into his mind the determination to do the ded; she inspires, sao persuades, and shows him how easily it can be accomplished. She does not !lo the deed, but the proves hermjlf capable of it. She shows her hands stained with the blood of Duncan, and how easily thoy can be mado white; and she iii reproachful and contemptuous when Macbeth appears movd by the apprehension of his hallucinations. We see in her no sign of fear cr dread of future expiation. How then can this woman, so resolute and so firm of purpose, lost' at once all heart, and present an entirely different character? It is remarkable that Shakspeare, who, in all his perso oitlcations, so strictly maintains the individuality of their character, should have made an exception in that of Lady Macbeth the woman who, as she herself says, could brain her nursing child to maintain her oath, and who nowhere manifest any disposition to yield to bbose influences and emotions which pioduce somnambulism, though illness may have rendered her weak and debrious. To me it appears that the scene was originally composed for Macbeth, and afterward for some reason given to Lady Macbeth. Had the play boen written in our time, the presumption would be that the change was made at tbe caprice of a charming actress who

did not .nd the part assigned to her suf

ficiently important, as it now stanas, the Already too heavy part cf Macbeth is lightened not a little, Tindv Macbeth, thouerh causble of

such crimes, was greatly loved by her husband. He strives to conceal' from

her the murder of Banquo, that of thnt

criiae at least she may be innocent: he

does not reveal to her of "killing Macduff,

and to this withdrawal of confidence in her he probably owes his ruin; for had Sluikspeire caused the protagonist to unfold his purpose to his wife, he would have been compelled by her strong will to hasten the murder he had conceived, and thus would have saved himself from Maisduff s revenge. But then the tragedy would hnvo lost ita climax, and Macbeth

would not stand before the world us a

terrible example of a great on initial pot-

erless to escape the penalty of his orines.

Life and Tragic Death of a Beautiful

and Brilliant Woman.

Among those aboard the ill fated steamer Golden City that burned near Memphis, recently, were Mr. Stowe, of Stowe's Circus, his wife and two children. Mrs. Stowe ana the two children perished in the flames. Mrs. Stowe, or Lizzie

Marceilus, as she was known by her maiden name, was an adopted daughter of old Dan. Rice, the veteran ciown. She was a veritable queen of the arena, being not only a beautiful and accomplished lady, but a graceful rider, ami was accounted one of the handsomest women in the profession. Her life hasbeen a very romantic one. She came from near Schenectady N. Y., where she was born, her father occupying a sm-il) farm in that locality, but is now a maatei mechauio in one of the largi machine hop? at Albany, Now York. In 18ti Dan. Bice, then with Forffpnugh's show, which bore his name, wns riding along a country road about six miles from Schenectady, when he met a little girl about six years of age, driving some cows to pasture. Speaking to the child in a friendly way, ho asked her if she hod seen Dan Bice goiug along with his how, which hod just passed. "Yes," aid she; " I saw the old fellow on the chariot." Dan. laughed at the child's sharp reply, and then took her in his buggy to ride with him as fur as her father's home. The folks at tho house recognized the showman at once, and addressed him by name, and, after an exchange of compliments, he was alxmt to drive on, when little Lizzie, the child, strange to say, took after the bnggy crying, and begged to go with the clown, for whom she seemed to have a strange fancy. With the consent of her patents he then carried her on to Troy, the next town, giving them ticket for the show, they intending to follow, and take her back home. As soon as Dau., dressed in motley, made, his appearance in the ring that night, the child sprang from her father's side and rushed to him, aud it was with great difficulty that she was removed and pacified. So strange was her attachment that at a supper that evening her parents indentured her to the showman, and the next morning, in care of Dan.'s wife, she left 'Troy with

the circus. Prom that day her training

as a rider began, and so rapid was her advancement that it was not many years until she was receiving a salary of $100 a week from Barnum. Before she had yet become of age Uncle Dan. sent her out with what is called a river show, in which there was a rather eccentric Italian

perfeormer by the name of Cordons, who

mi deeply in love witu ner. wiuie at St. Paul, Dan. was telegraphed, he theii being in Canada, that unless he came there immediately Cardona would marry the girl. He immediately answered, ordering tbe Chief of Police and the Mayor of St. Paul to arrest Cardona for trying to abduct his ward, but before the message was received the twain were married, and the order was not Abeyed. This was in the summer of 1873. Several months afterward Uncle Dan. joined the show at Madison, Itid., when Lizz e proteased herself as heartily sorry for her rash act, and Cardona, fancying that an attempt was to be made to take his wife from him, in a fit of jealousy locked her in a stateroom on tbe boat, and was about to cut hur throat with a razor. The attempt wns made about midnight, but the screams of the girl wife awakened the show people aboard, and Uncle Dan., assisted by W. H. Stowe, who was always greatly attached to Lizzie, rescued her from the would tie-murderer. It was then determined that something must be done to separate her from so miserable a master, and shortly afterward a suit for divor.-e was brought in Chicago, which in 1875 was granted, and the season afterward she was married to young Stowe, then about twenty-four years of age. With her second husband she lived happily, and it is said made a most exemplary wife. Of the two children burned with her one was a boy about seven years of age, by her first husband, and the other a girl of five, the daughter of Stowe. Mrs. Stowe owned a comfortable little home in New York City, where her mother now ia, whioh she had pnrchased from her own earnings. The horses with the show burned on the boat belonged to her, as well as the six cages of animals, she having besides alout $1,500 in diamonds and a large and valuable wardrobe, as she was known to bo one of the handsomest dressers who ever mounted a pad. She was twenty-two years of age at tbe time of her death. William H. Stowe, the husband, who was about thirty years of age, was born in a small town of Weaterr. Ohio, aud has been in the show business ever since a boy. He was n good negro comedian aud an excellent clown, having servetl an apprenticeship under Dan. Rice. His father, a well known circus man, died at Vicksburg about two years back, but his mother, the first and divorced wife, i now living on Court street, in Cincinnati

Somebody asked him the other day why he and Miss Loiigcoflin wero not out buggy-riding as much as usual, to whioh Kosciusko replied thai he did not propose to pay buggy hire foi any woman who called him a donkey. "I can't believe that Miss Longcoffin would call any gentleman a donkey?" was the reply. "Well, she didn't come right out and say I was a donkey, but she might just as well have said so. She hinted that much." "What did she say?" "We were out riding, and it looked very much like rain, ana I said it was goiug to rain on us, as I felt a rain-drop on my ear, and what do you tmppose she aid?" "I have no idea." " Well," she said, " that ram you felt on your ear may be two or three miles off."

A capital book could be written on this subject, warning peoplo of the danger of being brusque and stupid. There ought never to be more than one spare chair in a sick-room, says an authority, and a nurse who knows what the is about would do well to pi ice an ice-pitcher on that chair, so that no one could sit in it. The most absurd thing a person can do who calls on a stck man or womau, is to refer back to something whioh, in their imagination, won the cause of thif illness, " the cucumbers oi last week, or the soft crabs of the week before." Religious admonitions, a delicate point, though thoy may save the soul sometimes, if carelessly administered certainly hurt the body, Mr. Brickley, who has written a careful book, whioh he calls "Notes on the care of the sick," says that he "looks with disgust' on the person who speaks to the patient as if the illness was a -distinct punishment for grievous siu," and follows it np by sending some book, with a note containing these words : " I hope yen will prayerfully study this little book which I send you." Doctors themselves of ten act in exact contradiction to their theories, " I must insist on the most perfect quiet in the house ; have tho children moved to the rooms below and avoid all noise," says Esculapius. Then the physician goes down stairs quietly enough, but in the hall he forgets all about the patient, for he closes the front door with a loud bang, and, instead of moving off softly with his horse and wagon, rattles his equipage all he can over the cobblestones. Doctors, sometimes, .are as much at faultas visitors in a sick-room. New York Timet.

American Horses in Europe. rjBnsteaPest, The improvement in all grades of American horses is becoming yearly more noticeable, and foreign breeders now look to this country as the best market in the world for their choicest stock. American breeders were slow to discover that the heavy draft horses of Normandy and Scotland were fitted for use on the ordinary roads of this country, or that their introduction would be of any particular benefit to the race of American horses upon which they might be crossed. It is but a f jw yeass since the first iniportat'ons of Clydesdale and Percheron horses were made by venturesome breeders, who determined to practically demonstrate their worth upr-n the roads aed pavements of American eitiea. The venture was at first looked upon as extremely hazardous, but men were found, lis is always the case, who were ready mid willing to make an investment, the outgrowth of which has resulted practically in the introduction of a new breed of horses in thi country. From a small beginning the business has within ti few years grown to mammoth prorortions, and is yearly increasing. The product of a good draft st.Ulion upon the native American mare has given the farmers a horse whose capacity for heavy work is not excelled among the horses of the world. So much improvement hits marked the introduction of heavy foreign blood into the sineny, lasting qualities of the American workhorse, that many European buyers are predicting that within a few years the exportation of this class of horses will equal in value tbe exportation of cattle from the United States to foreign ports. That this is true is instanced by the demand for American horses for use iu tho French army, where they are preferred to any stock found in Europe. The importation of these heavy horses has grown steadily since their first introduction, and American buyers in every case purchase none but the purest bred animals. They go into the European markets with but one idea to buy tho best without regard to cost and tho consequence is that their purchases are depleting the stocks of the older countries. A few years since tho business of importing foreign draft-horses was practically confined to to a small portion of the territory lying oast of the Alleghenies, but now breeders of those Sorses and their crosses can lie found in early every portion eif the country, Chore is profit in tho business, end Um is shown iu the fact that nianv breeders

Instead of being the western limit of the Union, San Francisco is only about midway between the furthest AlanKac isle, acquired by our purchase of Alaska, and Eastport, Me. Our territory extends through 197 degrees of longitude, or seventeen degrees more than half way round the globe. The Rocky Mountain JPte-tbytertan, in commenting on this fact, says : " When the sun is giving its good- nightkiss to our westemm ost isle, on tlie confines of Bohring's sea, it is already flooding the fields and forests of Maine with its morning light, and in tlie eastern part of the State is more ttsn an hour high. At tho very moment wiien file Aleutian fisherman, warned by lie approaching shades of night, ia puling his canoe toward the shore, the wo idchopper of Maine is beginning to mitka the forest echo with the stirring mtsata of his ax." At a level of the sea, or where the mercury stands in s barometer tuba thirty inches high, water boils in an open dish at a temperature of 212 degrtiee. For every 550 feet we ascend it boils 'at one degree less. Thus, t an elevation of 1,100 feet it bods at 210 degrees, iind at an elevation of fJ.500 feet at 203 degrees. At the City of Mexico water boils at 200 degrees ; at Quito at 19-1 ; and on tho summit of one of the Himalaya' mountains at 180. Darwin was not nbh to cook potatoes by boiling on one of th mountains he ascended in Patagonia, and Humboldt could not oook beef by the same method on the top of one of the Alps. In mines below the level of ths sea a greater temperature than 212 degrees is required to cause water to bou. If water boils at a very low temperature, the he it is not sufficient to molt fat in meat, to coagulate albumen is eggs, or to decompose tissues in O'iliar articles of food. Cooking must therefore be performed by other moans than that of boiling. The circumstance that water boils at a certain place does not show that it contains sufficient heat to cook food in a reasonable tune. Ths icris the pressure of the air, the lower the temperature required to boil liquids. Mosaics. All things are artificial, for nstms it the art of God.
