Sokb weeks since Israel Ulrey, of Rising Sun, was robbed of $6,000 in money, the savings of many years, which he was about to invest in a farm. The robbery was committed at noonday by breaking open a desk or bureau in his dwelling, where he had deposited the money., Mr. Ulrey and a detective have been quietly working up the ease, and one day recently five citizens, who have heretofore borne good characters, were arrested, upon what is claimed as conclusive evidence of their guilt William M. Aughiubaugh, a young Indianapolis druggist was arrested the other day for stealing drugs from several wholesale drug-houses. It seems that Aughinbaugh in laying in his supplies of stock would call at the drug-houses at an early hour in the morning when there was no one in attendance but the porter, and call for some article which he knew was on the second or third floor, and while the porter was absent filling his order he would stuff his pockets with the more valuable drugs. At a recent session of the Bute Board of Education a resolution was adopted: “ That in order to secure a more complete system of public instruction in the State of Indiana this Board will hereafter issue commissions to ffigh-school teachers to examine candidates for admission to Purdue University upon the same conditions upon which they are examined for the State University." Also: “ That this regulation be communicated to those Superintendents of high-schools who have received commissions from this Board during the present year,"

A Faithful Dog.

In the Scotsman of April 18, 1867, the following narrative appeared: “ A very singular and interesting occurrence wss yesterday brought to light in the Burgh Court by the hearing of a summons in regard to a dog tax. Eight and a half yean ago it seems a man named Gray, of whom nothing now is known, except that he was poor and lived in a quiet way in some obscure part of the town, was buried in Old Grayfiriars’ Church-yard. His grave, leveled by the hand of time and unmarked by any stone, is now scarcely discernible; but, although no human interest would seem to attach to it, the sacred spot has not been wholly disregarded and forgotten. During all these yean the dead man’s faithful dog has kept constant watch and guard over the grave; and it was this animal for which the Collectors sought to recover the tax. “ James Brown, the old curator of the burial-ground, remembers Gray’s funeral, and the dog, a Scotch terrier, was, he says, one of the most conspicuous of the mourners. The grave was closed in as usual, and next morning ‘ Bobby,’ as the dog is called, was found lying on the new-made mound. This was an innovation which old James could not permit; for there was an order at the gate stating in the most intelligible characters that -dogs were not admitted. ‘Bobby’ was accordingly driven out; but next morning he was there again, and for the second time was discharged. The third morning was cold and wet; and when the old man saw the faithful animal, in spite of all chastisement, still lying shivering on the grave, he took pity on him and gave him some food. “ This recognition of his devotion gave ‘ Bobby’ the right to make the church-yard his home; and from that time to the present he has never spent a night away from his master’s tomb. Often in bad weather attempts have been made to keep him within-doors, but by dismal howls he has succeeded in making it known that this interference is not agreeable to him, and latterly he has always been allowed his own way. At almost any time during the day he may be seen in or about the churchyard ; and no matter how rough the night may be nothing can induce him to forsake the hallowed spot, whose identity, despite the irresistible obliteration, he has so faithfrilly preserved. “ Bobby has many friends, and the taxgatherers have by no means proved his enemies. A weekly treat of steak was long allowed him by Sergt. Scott, of the Engineers; but for more than six years be has been regularly fed by Mr. Traill, of the restaurant, 6 Grayfriars Place. He is constant and punctual in his calls, being guided in his mid-day visits by the sound of the time-gun. On the ground of harboring the dog proceedings were taken against Mr. Traill for payment of the tax. The defendant expressed his willingness, could he claim the dog, to be responsible for the tax; but so long as the dog refused to attach himself to anyone it was impossible to fix the ownership; and the Court, seeing the peculiar circumstances of the case, dismissed the summons. “ Bobby has long been an object of curiosity to all who have become acquainted with his history. His constant appearance in the grave-yard has caused many inquiries to be made regarding him, and efforts without number have been made to get possession of him. The old curatory -of course, stands up as the next claimant to Mr. Traill, and yesterday offered to pay the tax himself rather than have Bobby— Grayfriars’ Bobby, to allow him his full name—put out of the way.” Four years longer the faithful little dog kept his loving watch, and at last died, to the regret of all who knew him, never having been out of reaqh of his master’s grave; though in his later years the infirmities of doggish age forced him to accept a partial hospitality of the curator. I am sure that Lady BurdettCoutts gladdened the hearts of many lovers of animals—as sho certainly did mine—when she perpetuated his memory by a lasting monument of granite and bronze. The monument is a drinking-fountain made of Peterhead granite, and surmounted by a life-size statue of Bobby in bronze. During the many years which elapsed between the death of his master and his own departure the lowly grave was forgotten by all but the dog. No stone guarded it, and not even a mound marked it. The grass and weeds grew luxuriantly over it m over the level soil around. There has been for years nothing that could mark out the grave from the surrounding soil, but the little dog knew the sacred spot under which lay his master’s remains, and for hours used to stand upon it, keeping his guard. A little way from the grave is an altar-tomb, under which Bobby used to shelter himself in bad weather, and to which he always used to take the bones and other food provided for him by the generous persons whose names have already been mentioned. I possess three photographic portraits of Bobby, from the best of which the bronze statue was taken. In it he is sitting on the altar-tomb above mentioned, and is looking upward with that wistful, patient, longing, yearning expression of countenance which was peculiar to the animal, and is conspicuous in all the photographs, however imperfect they may be.— Harper' t Weekly.

A native Japanese journalist who has evidently traveled in Europe has published an article on woman’s rights in his newspaper, in which he says that, “ from the practice of Europeans, it would appear that the power of the wife is greater than that of the husband, and this error has been brought about by the want of a correct view of the dictates of nature. We will point out examples of this. In going through a door the wife passes first and the husband follows her; the wife takes the best seat and the husband the next best; in visiting the wife is first saluted; in forms or address the wife is first mentioned. Moreover, while men are in the company of ladies they must be particular in their conversation and are not permitted to smoke without the ladies’ permission being first obtained. These and like customs are innumerable, and the power of the women is far greater than that of the men.” The Supervisors of Pennsbury Township, Chester County, Pa., have been held to bail to answer at court the charge of non-performance of duty in not keeping the roads in good condition.

Slovenly Girls.

I was visiting a young motiuer lately, in company with a lady erf singular strength and wisdom. Our hestess, Mrs. French, was a high-spirited, nervous woman, with large ideality and constructiveness. She had two little girls, of ten and twelve years—bright, winning children, but organized quite differently from their mother. My friend, Mrs. Jackson, and myself were often pained during the visit by the tone of criticism and coldness that characterized almost everything said by Mrs. French to her children. One day the mother complained openly to us of the carelessness of the little girls, saying: “They are so different from what I was at their age (hat I cannot understand them or have any patience with them. Why, when I was twelve years old I made a dress for myself; and I used to keep my room and my, bureau-drawers so neat that everybody praised me for my good order. I am really afraid Belle and Annie will grow up slovenly and idle, in spite of all that I can do.” Mrs. Jackson heard her through, and then she said: “ My dear Mrs. French, did your mother never feel dissatisfied with you on some other score, or were you perfect in every respect?” “Oh, no! Satisfied? No, not by any means. Mother was a great student, and she was worried to death for fear I should grow up a dunce.” “Then I suppose she made you miserable by perpetually mourning over your dullness.” “You are wrong there; she was the most patient woman in the world. She gave all the opportunity I wanted to practice my housekeeping and dressmaking skill, and then she coaxed me to study; if she hadn’t led me gradually to take an interest in books I never should have known anything.” “Your mother was a wise woman,” replied Mrs. Jackson; “but you must pardon me if I say that you are taking exactly the opposite course with your daughters.”

“My daughters! Why, they are crazy for books; they take after their grandmother.” “Very true; but can’t you see what I am aiming to show you? You were undeveloped In one part of your nature and developed In another; your mother kept you happily and usefully employed by allowing you to do that which was easy and natural for you to do; then she skillfully and gradually encouraged the part of you which had the poorer start, If I may so express It Now If you were to pursue the same course In regard to your girls you would encourage and praise them im their studies, and then when they were glowing with the delight of congenial labor you would direct their attention gently to the necessity of cultivating every part of the character. Instead of that you assume that your daughters are to blame for not being developed as you were.” “You are right,” said Mrs. French; “ I am not acting as my mother did; hut it has always seemed to me that it was unnatural for a girl to be careless about her room and her clothes.” “ I don’t think we well understand what we mean when we say unnatural. There are-many gradations and phases of nais also unnatural, if you will use that expression, for a girl to be dull at her arithmetic and botany. We are to consider our children and our friends as farms; the productive parts we must profit by, the rest we must cultivate; that is the way your mother acted, and that is the way you must do if you would not harden the soil till it is too late for seed-sow-ing.” Mrs. French was silent hut deeply attentive, and Mrs. Jackson went on:

“ I have known many cases of sad alienation in families from the lack of wise sympathy with the order of nature in children. Some children develop one quality or set of qualities first, and some another. What is wanted is sympathy and tenderness with the actual child. You cannot produce new growths by fault-finding; instead, you must concentrate the sun of love upon the very places that are most sterile. Suppose the sun should refuse to shine except upon blossoms Snd fruit?” At the end of this speech Miss Bell came rushing in, her apron full of flowers for analyzing, her dress torn, and her boots muddy. The mother opened her mouth to speak, but, warned by a look, she was silent Mrs. Jackson called the sweet-faced girl to her side, helped her to classify her specimens, and then asked her gently how she got so torn and soiled. Belle looked a little ashamed, and, meeting a smile from her mother instead of a frown, she owned that she had been very careless, and had been practicing leaping ditches with her sister, without thinking anything about her nice boots. Then it was her turn for a lesson; and Mrs. Jackson explained to her how necessary it was for a lady to adapt her actions to the occasion and to her dress. “It is really a serious fault,” she said, “to spoil your expensive boots in this way.” “ You must wear your old boots when you go botanizing,” said Mrs. French, indulgently.

At this Belle ran to her mother, "and throwing her arms around her neck promised to fry very hard to be all she wished if she would only let her go for flowers and stones, and not mind if she looked ‘‘like a pauper’s child” when she was “ on a tramp.” When Belle went out Mrs. Jackson said: “ You see the child is not careless because she lacks perception of order and beauty, but because her mind is directed exclusively to one set of ideas. Her vigorous body calls for open-air exercise, and her thoughts turn involuntarily to the subjects presented to her at school. She does not think about her room or her clothes. It is your business to develop her in that direction; but you must go to work in the same way that you would to teach her Latin or geometry. Above all, don’t begin by assuming that ignorance iB guilt in that department more than in any other. The child knows better, intuitively, and will lose faith in you and love for you in proportion as your management is unskillful and unsympathetic. ” — Mrt. M. F. Butte, in Phrenological Journal.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A mixture of ten parte lime and one part saltpeter is said to destroy currant worms without injuring the fruit—Scientific American. Vegetables should never be washed until immediately before prepared for the table. Lettuce is made almost worthless in flavor by dipping it in water some hours before it is served. Potatoes suffer even more than other vegetables through the washing process. They should not be put in water till just ready for boiling. Wakts are very troublesome and disfiguring. The following is a perfect cure, even of the largest, without leaving any scar. It is a Frenchman’s prescription, and has been tested by the writer: Take a small piece of raw beef, steep it all night in vinegar, cut as much from it as will cover the wart and tie it on it; or, if the excrescence is on the forehead, fasten it on with strips of sticking-plaster. It may be removed in the day and put on every night In one fortnight the wart will die and peel off. The same prescription will cure corns. — Household. Suet butter has not commended itself to the public taste or the public press. People have an old-time notion that butter should come from cows instead of oxen, and they set their faces and stomachs against the patent compound. Still, there is abundant evidence that large quantities are manufactured and gold, and of course eaten . There is a large factory in Hamilton, Canada, from which some 2,000 pounds per week of imitation butter are shipped to all parts of the world. Another and still larger establishment in Boston turns out a very great product. In many cases, it is said, this butter finds its way directly to the butter-producing districts of New York and New Jersey, and then it is sent to market as genuine spring butter. It is certain that immense quantities of the oleomargarin are sold by dealers as true butter, and that the profits of the trade are very large. It is also said that very many of the hotels and restaurants in the large cities deal out their suet frauds to their customers, and that the latter rarely discover the cheat.—Woonsocket (R. I.) Patriot.

Spatter-work pictures, usually delicate designs in white appearing upon a softly-shaded ground, are now very popular, and are, with a little practice, easily produced. Procure a sheet of fine uncalendered drawing paper, and arrange thereon a bouquet of pressed leaves, trailing vines, letters, or any design which it is desired to have appear in white. Fasten the articles by pins stuck into the smooth surface, which should be underneath the paper. Then slightly wet the bristles of a tooth or other brush in rubbed India ink, or in common black ink, and draw them across a stick in such a manner that the bristles will be bent and then quickly released. This will cause a fine spatter of ink upon the paper. Continue the spattering over all the leaves, pins and paper, allowing the center of the pattern to receive the most ink, the edges shading off. When done, remove the design, and the forms will be found reproduced with accuracy on the tinted ground. With a rustic wooden frame this forms a very cheap and pretty ornament. — Scientific American.

Disinfectants.

The only certain, speedy and permanent disinfectant known to man is cleanliness. Antiseptics are substances which arrest and prevent such as creosote. Deodorizers take away the ill smell attached to localities arising from decomposition, either by absorption as pulverized char coal, or by forming new chemical combinations, as copperas. But many deodorizers have an odor of their own which overpowers that sought to be got rid of; among these are burning tar and brown sugar sprinkled on burning coals. Disinfectants are substances which take away the power of conveying disease. The emanations from what passes out of the body of persons having cholera cause the disease in others; but if carbolic acid is instantly thrown upon these dejections they are rendered harmless. Common copperas, called sulphate of iron, in its crude state can be purchased for five cents a pound; this dissolved in two gallons of water and thrown over ill-smelling places is the cheapest, simplest and most convenient deodorizer, and is applicable to privies, sinks, cellaife, gutters and heaps of offal. Common fresh dug earth is efficient, plentifully sprinkled over offensive places. A cheap and easily available disinfectant and deodorizer is made of a bushel of , salt in a barrel o*f water, then add enough unslacked, that is, fresh, lime which has never been exposed to dampness to make the whole into a thin paste, to be applied as often as necessary to all places yielding offensive smells, such as gutters, sinks, cesspools and the like; this is home-made chloride of lime. But all disinfectants, deodorizers and antiseptics must be applied from time to time; it is less trouble and a greater wisdom to sedulously cultivate habits of the strictest cleanliness in person, clothing and habitation, indoor and out, as well in thffhall; not neglecting a comer or crevice in the whole building, keeping an eye to one point always, that wherever there is dampness there is disease, and that moral purity and filth in any form are absolutely incompatible. —Hairs Journal of Health.

Summer Care of Apple Trees.

We frequently notice apple orchards in which nearly every free is surrounded by a dense mass of suckers springing from the base of the steins or larger roots. To remove these is one of the things needing attention in summer. The longer *lhe suckers are allowed to remain the more difficult to remove, and the more abundant they are likely to become. If the sap of the free is diverted from the branches to producing suckers at the base of the stem the more abundant will buds become at this point, hence the continual increase of such useless mid in- i jurious appendages. In removing suckers the soil should be removed to their very base, and then cut them away with a sharp instrument. A strong chisel is an excellent implement for this purpose. After removal fill in the earth again. While the base of the stem is laid fear? it is a good time to look for I

apple-tree borers, especially the larva of the Saperda Candida, which usually deposits her eggs close to or just under the surihoe of the ground. If one has ashes, lime, charcoal or even old plaster from walls, it may he applied around the stems of apple trees with beneficial results. The removal of what are called “ sapsprouts” from the main branches of all trees should be attended to while they are small, unless one cares nothing for the future welfare of his orchard. Every season’s neglect only tends to increase the quantity as well as injurious effects. Tent and canker worms need looking after at this season, and the first 'appearance of those pests should be heeded, else multi-, plication of numbers will bring corresponding disastrous results. Washing the stems and larger branches with soft-soap will not only remove the mass and old dead bark but prevent insects from depositing their eggs thereon. The flat-headed apple-tree borer (Chrysobothris femorata) is very partial to neglected apple trees with a very rough bark as the cracks are convenient and safe places for laying her eggs, but when scraped smooth and well coated with some soapy substance they are usually avoided by this mischievous insect The various species of bark lice so destructive in some portions of the country may also be kept in check by frequent applications of soap or strong lye during the early part of summer, before the scales of these insects become hardened. Good cultivation or liberal mulching when the trees, are growing in dry soils will do much toward keeping them free from bark lice. Stunted trees, like stunted, half-starved animals, invite the attacks of paraaitio insects and diseases. If every farmer would keep this in mind there need be little theorizing in regard to causes of failure among plants or animals. —Rural New Yorker.

A citizen who was driving along the Jackson road the other day, says the Vicksburg Herald , saw a man up a tree near the roadside, and, halting, he inquired : “ What are you doing up there?” The man made no reply, and the citizen continued: “What’s the cause of your being up there?” At that moment a woman rose up from the fence comer, rested a club on the fence,. and remarked: “I’m the cause, stranger, and if you’ll wait till he comes down You’ll see the worst field of carnage around here that ever laid out doors.” The citizen drove on, and she turned to the man up the tree and continued: “Polhemus, I can’t climb, and you know it, but if you’ll drop down here for two minutes I’ll give you a quitclaim deed of the farm!” August Schutknhelm, a liquor-mar-chant of Hoboken, put a bullet through his head with fatal effect recently. He had met with business troubles, and the only way he saw of getting over them was by Schutenhelm-self. —Boston Post. This is an advertising age. Every man who is up to the times takes care that the world knows it. A trade candle is not hidden under a bushel, but placed upon a hill. Business is found to increase in direct ratio with the amount of money judiciously expended in letting the public know where yon are and what you have got to sell. The great difficulty is to know when, where and now to do it. This led to the establishment of advertising agencies, of which the most extensive and reliable is that of Geo. P. Rowell & Co., of New York, which has met with a success unparalleled in the history of similar undertakings. They are the largest customers the newspapers of the United States have, and have so managed to simplify and arrange th« advertising system as secures the greatest amount of publicity for the lowest amount of money. More than five thousand American periodicals are received regularly, and kept on file at their office, which is located in the New York Times building, 41 Park Row, and we are informed that their corps of assistants outnumber the combined force of any four similar establishments now in existence. Visitors to New York will find their office a capital place to find news from home, for it must be a secluded spot which is not represented by a paper on their extensive files, which are always open to free inspection.—Davenport (Iowa) Democrat.
