A St. Louis servant girl got her walking papers for straining crub-unple jelly through an veil. Madison, Ind., has captured anl Imprisoned a desperate horsothlcf eleven year old. 'Hi' divorce lawyers in Chicago were recently horrified by the annomicernent of a silver wedding in tlmt city. Youiig John Connelly, of Moorsville, Tciin.. shot his step-mother, recently, to jrt t even with his father for refusing to joati him li Ih horse. At Jolinsbury, Vt., James Shaw, a farmer, while drunk, fatally shot John Stanton, a peddler, who called at his houe to fed toi no goods. At I'.urlington, la., a little girl, eljjht year old. walked up ami grazed a few moiiicnts on her dead mother, and then died aluio-t Instantly. Tuhitlia Hurt, who was Injured on the Tennessee Kallroad, want her hurt healed with a plaster of $10,000. An Alabama lawyer, defending a murderer, spoke ldneU'en consecutive hours, and the jury convicted the client in seven minutes. S.iniB'l Jones, a fanner of .South Oyster Hay, Long Island, was inurdured recently, hi bodj' thrown Into a well and hoiie robbed. A Scranton (I'a.) woman put her tmijue on a ilat-iron to see if it was hot. She found out, and has been fo quiet since that her husband has stayed at home almost every night. A jealous and despairing Lafayette, Indiana, cooper tried scissors and arsenic, but as phvsiclans are pretty thick in that town, lie is still Jealous and despairing They make coffee from almost everythinir now-a-days, but Mrs. Stearns, of Keokuk, Iowa, declares that when slie gets a new husband and family, she shall ue no more rat exterminator. Mr?. Lyster, aged nlaety-one, was buritit at (iraysvllle, Ind.. last week. In the wedding garments which, she wore seventy-three years ago. They wercol lineu, spun and woven by herself. Little Johnnie Ackcrman, of Huflalo, New York, who went out to swing, one day last week, didn't have half as much fun a- he would if he had not bung himself. It is a humiliating fact that, though John Hender, the Kansas murderer, has b"cn arrested in nearly every enterprising town in the West, he Is still at large. The women of Welsel county. West Virginia, have firmed a vigilance committee to prevent their husbands visiting the grass-widows who abound In those parts A Massachusetts postmistress has resigned her otllce, as a matter of honestv, because she cannot find time to read all the postal cards and attend to her other duties besides. An Iowa matron who, after languishing in the bonds of matrimony for thirtylive years, recently came Into an unexpected inheritance of $j00, immediately lnvercd it in a divorce. And now comes news that the girls of Elkhart, Ind., are forming a smoking club. And so in this wild era of "female advancement" women are dropping, one by one, their distinctive charms. A Tennessee Ldy presented her husband with a pair of twins and in due season added triplets. "Dear me," exclaimed an astonished neighbor, "I s'pose Mrs. Stubbing will have quadrupeds next and then centipedes." -Mrs. Uridget K'elley, of Albany. X. V.,wa found dead in a cistern the other day. and as she was a very large woman and the opening In the top of the cistern was only fifteen Inches square, the Corotii r was forced to the conclusion that her fall therein was not accidental. Mi- Anna IladelilT.of Chester county, l'a., was no shocked at the death, from l'ralyi,pf her sister, Mrs Williams, that idic died, too, and both were buried in one grave. One was sixty years old and the other sixty-two. (5 eo. Ilrigg, an energetic sewing-machine canvas-er In Indianapolis, after driting a good eltLcn almost to despair with his importunities the other day, left the lmtxe with a malicious smile on his face, which changed into a spasm of horror as the heels of a deceitful mule we re planted In his abdomen, lie was carried homo (lri!?,(.,i unlike a Jack-knife, and the tmile was straightway treated to a sumptuous bran mash. A hound was chasing a fox, near Laurel Hill, North Carolina, a few (lavs Miicc, when the latter, being tightly presM'd. took refuge in a hollow log, entrance into which it effected at a knot hole. 1 lie dc-g coming up, and tlnding that the Jx had gotten Into the log, thrust his head into the knot hole after the fox, and fol hi bra,! fast therein. Being unable J." extricate himself, the dog died, and the 'x. being cut off from tho only avenue of f'"ape from the log, likewise perished, th of them, evidently, having died if starvation. Scientific and Industrial. Dr. llanke states that the electric currents In plants correspond in all respects "itn those in animals. Mr. i;n,.y thinks that tho sulphur jimd in iron analyses frequently comes fom the gas-flames employed In the futons attending the analyses. It is stated that a strong solution of chliiri lr of zinc will dissolve all the silk uireads from Rnv textile fabric and leave i"e cotton threads untouched. M. L, do Henry suggests the use of a ""iiochroniatle soda flainoin alkalimetry to determine with greater accuracy the niangts of color In litmus paper. 11 ofessor )rton says : The Importerions of the diamond, and In fact of all s. ms,irc made visible by putting them into on of fassia) wnen tho ..lightest flaw nui be?

ry dry snow that falls on a cold day weighs about nine and a half pounds. Professor A rtus recommends the addition of a little glycerine to the fat employed In greasing leather. The exposure of harness or other articles of leather to ammonia causes them rapidly to become rotten ; such articles should therefore be protected from the ammoniacal fumes of stables. A writer lu the Rural World says that any fruit-grower can convince, himself that stocks Inlluence the character of the fruit : if ho will put grafts from one tree into twenty different young trees In his orchard when they come Into bearing, he will find that the fruit will be different in all. It has been demonstrated by recent experiment that the Injection of carbonate of ammonia into the blood produces an epileptiform condition of the nervous system ; whence an eminent medical man draws the conclusion that epilepsy is often produced by the action of this carbonate upon the nerve centers. Several new methods for concentrating sulphuric acid have In-en proposed. Carlier recommends passing steam of three atmospheres' pressure through leaden worms lying at the bottom of wooden tulies lined with lead inside, and tilled with acid of sp. gr. 1-5 which, as soon as its gravity has risen to 1.7, is transferred into another wooden tank of the same kind. A new and valuable discovery Iearing upon the science of comparative philology is described by Dr. Itastian, vt Iterlin, in his recent paper on the physiological formation of langutge. He finds as a broad distinction that among the older races of America and Africa consonants greatly predominate, while In the Malay-rolyne-slan dialects vocal sounds are strongly in th ftaoend!incy, and that th phonetic peculiarities of a hnguage are the determining loroes In its grammatical structure. A writer in the I'rairU Fanner makes a sensible suggestion as to the use that might be made of the thermometer in the kitchen. IVople talk about ovens as being hot, quick, or slow; but these terms hive a different meaning for each Individual. The writer proposes to have a thermometer in tho oven, which will register exactly the heat. With an ovea so furnished, something like rational directions may be given as to the heat and length of time required for the proper cooking of articles of food. The writer also sjH-aks approvingly of an oven with a door of glass, which allows the cook to see at a glance how the prooeas goes on. In a 'ong dissertation read before the French Scientific Congress, Dr. l'apilland recommends small-pox inoculation, after vaccination, as a preventive of epidemic small-pox. He maintains that vaccination alone affords sutllcle nt immunity against infection from sporadic small-iox : but when the disease has become epidemic vaccination is not enough, indted Is of little value. Nor will revaccination avail, for even after a second Introduction of the vaccine virus into the system, the subject is liable to be attacked. The author, therefore, recommends as a safe and sure preventive, the employment first of vaccine, and afterward Inoculation, the purpose of the vaccination being to remove the danger that might otherwise attend the introduction of the small-pox virus. School and Church. Ilev. Joseph Mason has been appointed missionary at Tiblow, Kan. Ifev. E. Douglass, of WoonsocWet, II. I., has been appointed Indian Agent at White Karth Kcservatlon, Minn.

Hishop (Jlossbrenner, of the United Urethren in Christ, has been made a D. D. by the I banon Valley College, Annvillc, Pa. The Diocese of Central Pennsylvania last year raised for the support of mis. sions $7..'l'0, and expended within its own bounds $3,s:w lor mission purposes. The Pope has sent a rich and Tcautifully chased episcopal ring its a token of Ids admiration to the firm and courageous l'.ishop of Krmchmd. -Kev. X. M. Wood, D.

Ilishop Pcrsico, of Savannah, has, with the consent of the Pope, gone to Canada to become Vicar General of the many orders ard congregations of riieusti in the archdiocese of Quebec. Hanover College has conferred the degree of loctor of Divinity upon Ilev. Francis I). Patton, Professor of Sympathetic Theology in the Theological Seminary of the Northwest, Chicago. The Connecticut Diocesan Convention, nt Its late session, resolve! that Its delegates should ."memorialize the (Jeneral Convention to have a correct translation of the N leene creed made for the use of the American churches. Ilev. John Evans, of the British Wesloyan Conference, and attached to the Welsh mission In Liverpool, on the Charles street circuit, has come to spend three or four months traveling in the United States. IJev. George Burroughs, D. I)., of San Francisco, Cal., lias resigned his professorship in University Mound College, and accepted a professorship in the Presbyterian Theological Seminary, San Francisco, Cal. The High Chr-h proclivities of the majority of the Hoard of Missions of the United States was, at the late delegate meeting held In Detroit, Indicated as the main cause of the feebleness of the Church In Its foreign missionary work.

itev. A. J. Missing, of San Francisco, Cal., has accepted a cali to a Jew ish synagogue in Chicago. Before his departure for the latter city his friends of the "Chevra Achim Kachmonlm" presented him with an elegant and costly cane. Dr. Vaughan, Roman Catholic Bishop of Salford. lately delivered a remarkable sermon In Home, in eulogy of the Irish as an "aj)08tollc race," set part by Providence to do tho missionary work of the church. Amherst College and the Congregational Church of the town have generously undertaken to support Itev. Mr. Constantino at Athens, Greece, where he has been laboring for many years as a missionary for the American board. A wise clergyman, nowdeceased.oree said "he had learned to preach not onlv so that people could understand him if they had a mind to, but also that they could not misunderstand him if they wanted to." News comes from Scotland ol the death of Dr. Kwing, Bishop of Argyle and the Isles a man universally beloved and esteemed. He was a ripe scholar, a man of wide culture and liberal spirit, and one whose Christian character was a real power. The latest statistics of the Primitive Methodists in Great Britain show that they have membcrg, 100,(8; traveling preachers, 1,005; local preachers, 15,751 ; class leaders, 'J,J'j7 ; connectlonal chapels, 3,7117 ; other preaching places, 2,555 ; Sbtmth schools, 3,5Hi; teachers, 4,1)73; scholars, 211,512 ; day schools, 44 ; teachers, 71) ; scholars, 4,317. Ilev. William Davidson, D. I)., pastor f the United Presbyterian church, at Hamilton, Ohio, is one of the delegates appointed by the late Presbyterian Assembly to represent that church next vear lx-fore the (Jeneral Assemhlien of tin Presbyterians of Scotland, Ireland, the Waldenscs and the Free Christian church of Italy. Personal and Literary. Kate Field is spending the summer with Sir Charles Dilke, the English republican leader, in London. On dit that Whitelaw Held will marry Miss Ida Greeley so soon as a seasonable time elapses after the death of her beloved father. A Providence, B. L, paper states that Mrs. Senator Sprague Invites clergymen, school teachers and common x-ople to fill the eighty rooms of her home at Newport. Another Life of Jesus Is put forth in Germany, this time by Dr. helm, a professor at Giessen University. The lxok attracts much attention in theological circles abroad. Theodore Hook'was once asked for a contribution to the treasury of the .Society for the Conversion of the Jews. He said he was quite unable to give any money, but if the society would send him a Jew, he would do his best to convert him. "The history of pottery Is the history of humanity." At all events, so says M. Albert Jacquemtrt, who lias given to the world a highly Interesting "History of the Caramic Art," In w hich he traces the fashions of dishes in all aees and among all races, from Egypt to Birmingham. Mr. J. J. Murphv has written a took on "The Scientific Basis ol Belief," in which he ably sets forth the arguments for theism. lie reviews the work of the leading Christian apologists of the last century, but with an eye to the changed methods of thought and Investigation that prevail. The late John Van Buren once, when traveling on one of our Northern river steamers, asked his friend's friend to Join in a drink probably soda-water. The man said he had "not the pleasure of an Introduction." "But," said Prince John, "you know enough to drink." Writing to the London News, Mr. George Jacob Holyoke. long the personal friend of John Stuart Mill, suggests that there could be no fotmof memorial to the dead more appropriate and more In accordance with his views when living than a people's edition of his works. And now the stove trade hasps journal, a monthly magazine, published at Albany, and devoted exclusively to the warm advocacy of the burning Interests of stove manufacturers. The first numler Is Just out. It might have apnea red more seasonably in January than in July. Mrs. Elizalx th Stuart Phelps refers, In print, to Miss Smiley, the Quaker preacher, as " a woman who has a voice as sweet as a robin's, a face as serene as a Madonna's, a courage as resolute as an apostle's, and a purpose as fixed as a Quaker's, and who wears her bonnet Into the pulpit besides." Professor Lowe, the well-known aeronaut, of military balloon observation in the Army of the Potomac time, has introduced into the South a new branch of Industry the manufacture of Ice by artificial means. He has established several ice factories In that s-etion, the main ones iM-ing In Atlanta, Charleston, and New Orleans. The New York Cotnmrreial Advertiser thus corrects the Courier-Joitrnal, saying : " It Is a mistake to suppose that Colonel Susan B. Anthony's childhood was contemporary with the Phoenicians. She and her brother Marc were born about S3 B. C, and Susan made her first woman's rights oration when Marc's red-haired sweetheart in Egypt took ' pison.' " A San Franciso paper states that M rs. Fair, having failed to effect a compromise with Judge Quint, or to Induce him to abate a dollar of his judgment claim aganst her for legal services on her two trials for murder, has settled the same. The Judgment was for $2,!HK), which was raised by the costs to $3,fl)0, which sum Mrs. Fair has paid In United States gold coin. A great book sale is to come ofi at Leipzig, July 14, of one of tho choicest and costliest private libraries recently gathered In Europe. The books Ix-longed to a Russian named SololewskI, who died three years ago, at Moscow, leaving lehlnd an inestimable collection of look rarities, which now come to tho hammer. Among other precious articles Is a copy of the "Voyages of De Bry," which is unique in Its completeness and In the perfection of the first impressions of the plates. The death of Emanuel Deutseh will shade the minds of all scholars with sincere sorrow. He died May 13, at Alexandria, whither he hail gone to regain ids shattered health. Mr. Deutseh had long been connected with the British Museum

w hose opportunities he Improved to the utmost for careful and extensive studies. A few years ago ho surprised English readers by an article on the Talmud, which carried the yairterly Jitvuvt through several editions. His subsequent pajn;r on Islam was scarcely less brilliant, and the two met with such a hearty rceeptlou that the author was encouraged to write an elaborate work on the Talmcd. But the state of his health interfered with this work. He was very skillful in deciphering inscriptions, and he contributed the admirable article on "Versions" to Smith's "Dictionary of the Bible." He was but fortr-one at the time of his death, which is a loss to scholarship and literature, as well as to his many personal friends. A Sidewind at Chiliatlon. "You are living in a civilized society," Senator CarpenUr is rcorted as having said to the representative men of Louisiana during his late visit to New Orleans ; "and you have got to stand the Inconveniences which civilized society has. If a man takes your horse, you cannot tomahawk him for it; you will have to resort to the courts to get back your horse. Your adversary may get continuance of the case, and may keep you out of it a year, ami then, when it comes to trial, he may bribe the Jury and beat you, and you will have to submit to it, unless you get a new trial on appeal toanapjiellate court." This may be all very well in one sense, Out it should le remembered that there is such a thing as paying too dear for the whistle, and that a disposition to calculate the cost of the little musical instrument is usually in direct proportion to th dearness and the discord. Considering the high price of the Louisiana whistle, and the horrid cacophony it discourses, this disposition UiUrt be&t present very strong in the Louisianlans, who, one would think, can scarcely help asking, when thus beard d on the point, whether the " Liconveniences" of civilized society, under the existing circumstances, do not outweigh the conveniences. There have been those indeed who have affirmed as much of civilized society under all circumstances; and it cannot be denied that the reasoning in support of this affirmation is full of a hazardous plausibility. Burke, in his ironical "Vindication of Natural Society," sets forth the "inconveniences" of civilized society with such force and vividness that his irony not only was taken lor earnest by most of ins contemporaries, but by many of them was accepted as actually convincing. If the cae against civilized society in general is so plausible as this, what must it be against the wretched caricature that now holds its demoniacal revels in Louisiana? And how little prepared must be the people of that demonocracy to sacrifice their rights to such an Idol ! Much ix-tter are they prepared to sacrifice the Idol of their "rights, if the two may not co-exist. Assuredly they are no demonolaters. Imagine the effect with which words like the following, for example, might fall on the ears of the oppressed and plundered Louisianlans: "Ask of politicians the end for which laws were originally designed, and they will answer that the laws were designed as a protction for the poor and weak against the oppression of the rich and powerful. But surely no pretense can te so ridiculous ; a man might as well tell me he has taken off my load, b-cause he lias changed my burden. If the poor man is not able to support his suit according to the vexatious and expensive manner established in civilized countries, lias not the rich as fjreat an advantage over him as the strong i as over the weak In a state of nature? But we will not place the state of nature, which Is the reign of God. in comjK tition with political society, which is the aburd usurpation of man. In a state of nature it is true that a man of superior force may beat or rob me; but then it is true that "I am at full liberty to defend myself, or make reprisal by surprise, or by cunning, or by any other way in which I may Ik superior to him. But in political society a rich man may rob me in another way. 1 cannot defend myself, for money Is the only weapon with which we are allowed to nght. And If I attempt to avenge myself the whole force ot that society is ready to complete my ruin." Burke (for it is from him we quote) meant this for irony, but to the Louisianlans, and possibly to many others in our highly civilized society, as formerly In that mother society of which Burke himself was at once a pillar and an ornament. It may seem very much like soIxt sense, or might if they were shallow enough to U-licve what 'Senator Carpenter says. That apologist for Republican misrule should consider that at least in the estimation of those immediately concerned his somewhat flippant expostulation, if accepted at all, would be accepted uot so much as a vindication of his party as an iaij.eachnient of civilization, which Is not now, any more th.ai It was in the time of Burke, so uprooted in the respM-ct of universal mankind as to stamp with self-evident absurdity every Indictment against it, much less to justify every outrage committed on its behalf or pleaded In its name. The Senator's argument Is overcharged, and If It should go off it would do quite as much execution at ;the brevh as at the muzzle. But It will not go off; It will flash in the pan. Those Immediately concerned, if as enlightened as we conceive them to be, will reject kis expostulation altogether, laughing to scorn the impudent suggestion that the evils they suffer are the necessary incidents of civilized society, which they must patiently bear in return for the capital good that is impracticable without them. The suggestion is In fact akin to that piece of crafty Impiety or leipious cratt which prompts ien sometimes to shift upon their MaSter the responsibility for their own misdeeds. The plain truth is that these insufferable evils, so far from being natural concomitants of civilized society, are unnatural, foul and deadly

excrescences, as to which the plain duty of those having authority In the premises is not patiently to bear them but promptly to lop them off. This duty Senator Carpenter and his political friends may not recognize, as they certainly do not perform it in seeking rather to hide It under a cloud of chicanery; but the men of Iouilana, backed by the true men of the country at large, do recognize it, and in good time will perform It. And In that day woe to the public recreants of whom Senator Carpenter made himself a spokesman. It shall be more tolerable for Dawes and Colfax than for them. N. V. roper.

The Next Virginia Elections. On the Cth ol August the Iemocratfl of Virginia will meet at Richmond in Convention to select the next Governor and officers of the Staue. This year nomination and election are synonymous. The Democracy of Virginia meets its antagonists fairly and favorably, carrying no dead weight In the shape ol candidates nominated for reasons of exjediency rather than prineijde, and utterly unliatnjiered by any or the local or personal Issues to which so frequently are sacrificed the wider interests of the party or the people. Ujxm their side the Itadicals cannot allege that they are handicaped with any weight that they do not carry of their own choosing. Their advantages and disadvantages are of and owing tothemselves, and if they go Into the tight feebly It Is with inherent weakness. The lesson likely to be read to the Radical faction in Virginia is neither unexjHTtcd nor undeserved, and will be fraught with more than a local signllleanoe. Tne people are to pass a verdict upon the condition of the part In power toward the whole South. The shameless interference of the President in Louisiana; the patent outrages committed in tho Carolinas, where not to vote for Grant was made a penitentiary offense; the whole system ot careUbagirii!g under wh eh the sole oualitication for olllco is unlltness, mental, moral, and personal these are the questions which will come up before the people In Virginia in November next for condemnation. It is hard to say whether the treatment of the South by the dominant faction Is more strongly characterized by positive injury or gratuitous insult. Thw w rongs inflicted upon the people, amounting practically to a confiscation of property and political disfranchisement, are nardly to be atoned fur by vet-ting in Mr. Muby tho appointment of a few gangers or raising over the collln of Minister Orr an ululation neither graceful nor genuine. The people of Virginia have no reason to desire a change from a Conservative to a carpetpbag government. As they are to elect local officers of every d- scription the canvass will be complete and final. The rrobable Radical nominee, Co'onel B. M. iughs, who is neither worse nor weaker than any other member of his party, is a man of electoral sorrows and acquainted with political griefs. Hi retreated defeats in the Ninth Congressional District would seem to promise no great measure of sucoes in the wider nVhl of the State, so that It Is safe to conclude that the Democrats of Virginia will elect the Governor, whom the lU-publicans do not concede, as well as the legislature, which they do. Ex. October State Elections. If the Constitutional Conventions now sitting it Pennsylvania and Ohio will but do their duty and change the tinn" of the State elections from October to November, they will do much to purify our political parties, for it is a reform which will cut away from any party which happens to be in power, the illicit advantage, always conferred by separate October elections In a few States, of concentrating efforts corrupt and corrupting upon those States, tritead of relying upon efforts mre likely to be legitimate if they are diffused over nearly two score states. At any rate the Illegitimate use of public patronage, contracts, and the great influence of the army of office-holders, is quite enough advantage to Ik; possessed and wiehfed by any party in power, without adding to it the "nothing so successful as success" advantage w hich it now gains by concentrating everything as was done last fall, upon Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio. Judge West who resigned from the lench of the Supreme Court of Ohio to take his seat In her Convention, is reported by a correspondent to have uttered words which may f tamo him as an anachronism but which at my rate prove liim an honest man. Said he : " I m lt mbllcn of lh- ptricti-Kt wt, am!, rmlicnl H 1 liMVelxon, 1 nW ilrcUrr Unit it wa limit-iN-ly tiUMiiliatiriK tonn-n ot ili-nilli-il wnM-liiliiii-K t m-- IManu (cr.

eriUV " JU'lge West I think that then the (Kditiral jxiwer of the AilmiiiixtrHtion ami the money of l he nation ami the inlluence of the King at Washington cannot control the elections of more than tine Stale." If the Democrats had carried North Carolina last summer; and if they had not Nen cheated by ballot-box frauds out of the election which they carried In Pennsylvania in October, both those States might have been recovered for Grant in Novemlier, vet he would probably have lost his re-election. Hesides thus giving to a single State undue influence, the Octotier election may thus actually reverse the true result of a Presidential election. A'. '. World. Time of Fast Horses.
