In a few monents she beard footstep in .her room, and saw two men, (negroes evidently) coming toward her.
Her screams for help were shut off sharp, by one of the men placing the cold muzzle of a pistol against her head, and and threatening to fresco the wall with brains if she uttered a word. They then bound and gagged her in the professional style, and one stood guard, while the other ransacked the house from top to bottom.
They secured two gold rings and other articles of value, including sotne money. Before they left the unhuman devils took a pair of shears and cut off close to the .scalp the beautiful hair of the lady, they tl.en left and in a few moments
Mrs. Miller found Officer Whitfield to whom she detailed the outrage. A soareh waB instituted for the villians, but up to the present moment they have not oeen found. The police should exercise all their ingenuity to capture these scoundrels for a man that will rob a woman of her hair, deserves extinction.

A surgeon in the German army call* the attention of all who have to do with horses to the danger of using the pocket handkerchief to wipe away any foam from tbe mouth or none of a horse which may have been thrown upon their clothes. Some months ago, the writer e&atea, an officer catne to him suffering from an obstinate cold and cough. Tbe usual remedies were prescribed, but in vain a visit to the baths at Reichenball also did the patient no good. Returning to duty, he officer became worse fever, attended with great pain in and swelling of tbe bead, set in, and ultimately, after much suffering, he died with every symptom of glanders. Inquiries were art on toot, wad it was found that some time before he was taken ill he had ordered a horse which he believed was suffering from glanders to be shot Neither the noom nor any of the other soldiers who had been Bear the horse have been attacked by glanders, and oonsequeatttly it is suspected that the officer who died may have conveyed the disease into his system by perbapR unug his handkerchief to wipe some of the foam from the month or now of the hone from his uniform. ^^5

A Romantic Story.
From Port Jervis, New York, we have a romantic story, \vhich, but for tbe religious aspect of it, would be a comedy plot Some time ago a daughter of pious parents in that village, on learning that her lover was a skeptic, broke off her engagement in a tear-stained letter, after vainly attempting to convert him. He was deeply grieved, but could not give up his convictions. The lady mourned and tried in vain to see some other way out of tbe trouble. Shortly after, however, her lover, who had gone to live in a distant city, was induced to attend a revival, was converted and united with tbe church. He subsequently asked permission to call on his former lady love, which was granted, she received him with mauv marks of favor, expressing her regret at having treated him so harshly. To her great surprise he defended iter against herself, said she was in the right, and that he had come to look at these things in tbe same light she did. Her heart sank. She told him that liis former arguments had had great weight with her that she had studied and reviewed the whole subject, and had at last discarded the Bible and revealed religiou. It was his turn to be shocked. He argued and pleaded with her, but all in vain, nnd feeling that he could not marry an unbeliever, reluctantly gave her up.
The Hammock.
When children only are to use the hammock, the manner of hanging it is not very important, but if provided, for the use of grown persons it should be so suspended that the head will always be considerably higher than the feet, and much of the comfort of one who uses it depends on a proper observance of this fact If you have no more suitable place, suspend it from the columns of a verandah. The hook which supports the head end should be six and one-fourth feet from the fioor, that for the foot end three and three-fourths feet, and these proportions should be observed wherever it may le hung, to secure tbe most desirable curve for the ease of the occupant.
Another point to be observed: the head should bo fastened to the hook by a rope less than afoot long—just enough to attach it—while at the foot the rope should be four and a half feet long. This gives tbe greatest freedom for swinging the lower part of the lody, while the nead moves but little. This is a point which cannot be observed in a hammock for children, who think more of it as a swing than a place tor comfortable repose. When trees serve for supports, ample provision should be made to prevent iiyury to the bark, by means if stout canvas or heavy bagging between the ropes to which it Is suspended and the bark. If the hanging be so arranged that the hammock can be taken'in during long storms, it will last much longer.
The Smoker.
The smoker who is wedded to tbe habft cannot readily understand why every one else does not like the odor But the (act is patent that the scent of tobacco is not only disagreeable to some persons but absolutely poisonous. doe* not mend the matter to say this is mere prejudice or weakness. You have no right to make others uncomfortable for your own satistaction. No gentleman will thrust binutelf in close proximity to ladies with his coctt saturated with stale smoke. No gentleman will pass through a car carrying a his band, and leaving a behind him No
in
lighted cigar trail of offensive smoke gentleman will get in a stage carrying a smouldering stump in bis band, and keep it there until ft smolders out and emit* a more hideous stench than before. Xo gentleman wilt pnff out bis costly smoke on the platform of tbe borae car, when (he passengers inside cannot escape some portions of tbe faunas But you can find men" doing these thisgs every day in the wetk.
