And Mr. Peters rose from the table in a temper by no mean amiable, and rang the bell violently. There was no answer. He rang again, a third, a fourtl- time, and still no answer! Out of all patience, he went to the doer und called "&laria! Maria!" A slight, pretty little woman, dressed in a soiled, tumbled wrapper, with hair in state of direfnl contusion, answered his summons. She had one of those bright faces which nature intended shonld be decked with continual smiles; but now, all its roses in bloom, it was drawn to its fall length, and the large blue eyes hat! a serions, or ra'.her doletnl expression, totally at variances its usual joyons look. Her voice, too, had lost its melodious, ringing sound, and was snbdned to a dismal whine. "What is it, Joseph." 'Where. Bridget?" "Gone oat f r me. I want more white ribbon for my iseenaiou robe. " Mr. Pt 1 avery haughty word, and tlien continued; "Cold coffee, hard ggs. breakfast not fit to eat." "I wi-h,' whined the wite, "you would think less of temporal matters, and turn your attention to the great end of life." "Bag it all. madam, I like to enjoy my life when J have it. Here was I, the hapI -t m.m in the United Statt s, with a pl asant home, a chatty, cheerful, loving wite. and good tiniet children: aud now, since on nave joined the Mtllerites, what aui I?" "Oh, Joseph, if you would only, only com- into the blessed circle." ' Oh, Maria, it yon would only come out ot it. Where are the bow- ' "I'm sure I don't know." '.re- they going to schoi 1 to-day?"

Yon have still a Week for preparation uud repentance "Reo. ntnce: Well, w hen I take up tLe j subject, it vill take more than a wees, to put it through." And Mr. l'eters put on his coat and took np his hat. "Joseoh." said his wife, "von need not send home any dinner. I shall be out.and I'll take the boys over to their uncle's to dinner." J' , iincl no answer, unless the violentlv emphatic manner in which he closed the ; mm r was one. Muttering with anger, lit . MKkUU itjto a restaurant to make a break-fs-t.

"Maria's joined the Millerite.!" Fred cave a long, shrill whistle.and then aaid: iioi: i to Mesa next week?" "Yes, and if I don't commit suicide m th- meantime, you nny congratulate me. I m almost distracted. Can t get a decent meal, children ruuuug riot, servants sau cy, house all in confusion, wife got the blues, either quoting the speeches of the elders at me, or sewing on a robe, and groaning every third or fourth stitch. Hang it all, Fred, I've a great mind to take poison or jin t e army," "Hm I h'm! you give an enchanting picture, but I think I can suggest a cure." A enre?" "Yes, if yon will p:omise to take my advioe, I will make your home pleasant, yom wife KsMMsW and your children happy.' "Do it!' cned Joe. I'll follow your word like a soldier under his superior officer. What shall I dor" At tea time Mr. Peters's entered his home, wtnstling, Maria was seated at her sewing and there were no signs of preparation tor the evening meal. Mirii. my dear," said Mr. Peters, "is ta ready?" "I don't know," was the answer, "have been ont ail day attending meeting." Oh. very well: never mind.

Maria looked up in surprise. You se. . immr, it is rather a relief for you t" go quickly, you know.

Joe longed to quit his heartl' ss seecu, and comfort bar, but he was fetlnl the desired effect was not yet gained. "So, niy dear. ' he continued, "it you must go. " I have been thinking of getting another wife." 'What? " cried Mrs. Peters. "Another wife, my love The house . . , , mast be kept in order, ana tne ooys carea . for." The grief was gone from Maria's face, bat her teeth were set with a look ot fierce wrath. "Another wife, Joseph! Another wife!" i "Yea I think I have selected a good i successor. I have deliberated a long time, wh- n I was a bachelor, between her and yourself. Yoa will like her; she is your bosom friend" What! Sarah Ingraham!" "Yes, my dear. I think that on the day yon ascend, I will marry Sarah Ingraham!" "What! that good-for-nothing, silly, emptv headed old maid, the mother of my cnildren! What!" "Well, my dear, it seems to be the best I ettn do. I don't want to leave my business and go a courting and she will have me, I know." "No doubt! Oh, yor. ereat brutal, hateful " "Stop, my dear, don't fly into a fury. We will try to spend oar last week in happinet Oh, bv the way, I have a proposition to make." (Go on, sir! Do not spare me!" "Ah, yes, that is the veiy thing I wish to do. I know yonr mind is entirely engrossed with your ascension, and I wish to spare you the care of the house- Snppoae you inviU Sarah here to-morrow, to stop a week!" P'What!" "Then I can arrange oar matrimonial preparations in the evening, while you are at the lecture. " "What!" "And you can leave the house in her eharge all day. That will give you plenty of time to go out, and she can learn tbe ways of the house, " "What!" "And, my dear, one little favor. It may be the last I shall ever ask of you. Stay at home one or two days and show her aroind, where yoa keen things, and so on, so that she woc 't have any trouble in keeping order Bales you go. You will do this to oblige me. won't you?"

W. M. Nichols, Proprietor. Mrs. Peters, lor an answer, rolled up the ascension robe into a ball and fired it tit Jo. . The cotton, scissors, work basket ard table cloth followed eacb. other in rapid succession, and he was unable to dy. Then Maria's rage found vent in words. "So? you are going to marry Sarah lngrahain? That's the reason yon whistled so nice when von came in! But you shan't marry her, sir! You shan't have that grati fication! I will iktav, if it is onlv to spite yon! I won t go! I won't &o!" "But, my dear, I tell you, Mr. Peters, you must go if yon are cone for. "I won't go!" "Bu consider, my dear. "I won't go!" "But w hat w ill Sarah Ingraham think of if" "Sarah! Don't dare to mention Sarah to me ar Jn! I I--I -oh! I am fairly choking, ' and the little woman threw herse.f into a ciair, in a fit of hysterica Next morning Mr. Peters met Fred in the street, "Well, old bov, how goes it?" "Fred," was the the reply, "I am the h-ipDiest in the world! I have regained my wife, and domestic peace, and got rid of a busy, tattling old maid, who, under pretence of loving my wife, was everlastingly interfering in all our household arrangements." "Then Mrs. Peters will not ascend, will she?" "If Sarah is to be my second wife, and step-mother to my children, Mrs. Peters haw concluded, on the whole, she won't i gor Angling for a m.jr. We were traveling on ground we had no right on. The only excuse was like hat of a military necessity -it was far better fishin:: through the farms, where the trout had 1 eeu pres.nved, than in the open lots where all could fkh. It was e irly in the morning. We hed risen at three, ridden ten miles and struck the creek as the trout were ready tor breakfast. Looking carefully for a sheltered lace to hitch our horses, we slyly c ept on behind fences, tc., till we reached the part of the stre am not generally fiahed. A farm house stood not a quarter of a mile away. We saw the morning smoke curling lightly from a stovepipe: saw a man and two boys come out to do chores; Raw a woman busy aboat the door, and a ferocious bull-dog wandering about the yard It ever we fished close it was then. Not a whisper to disturb the birds or the owner, ot tne lauti. e crawieu tnrougn me grass and dodged behind clumps of eMetl. lifting large .-peekled beauties out cf the water until our baskets were full. in. . . ft . .ft 1 Lis was me time to nave gone; out tue trout were so large and bit so readily that we decided to string aud hide v uat we had aud take another basketful. So at it we went. No sooner would the hook touch the water than it had a trout. We forgot the house, the man, the boys the dog. Suddenly there was a rushing through an out field as if a mad bull was coming. We looked toward the house, and saw the tarmer and his two boys on a fence, the woman 'n tbe door, and the dog bounding toward us. We saw it all we had been discovered! The well trained dog had been sent to hnnt us out, and. as the matter appeared, it was safe to bet that he w s doing that thing right lively. To outran the dog was not to be thought of There was no time to lose. He cleared a fence and came for rs, just as we reached a tree, and by great activity took a front seat on a limb above his reach. Here was a precious go ! A vicious bull-dog under the tree, and the farmer and two boys ready to move down upon our works. It was fight, foot race, or fangs. The farmer yelled to his dog, "Watch him Tige V Tige proposed to do that li tie thing, aud keeping nis eyes on us, seated himself under the tree. Then spoke this ugly farmer man: "Just hold on thar, stranger, till we get breakfast; then we will come and see yon ! If yon are in a hurrv, however, you can go now! Watvh him,' Tige!" W surmised trouble; quite teo much, for thrice had that bold man ot bull-dogs and agriculture elegantly walloped innocent tourists for being seen on his suburban premises. His reputation as a peace man was not good, and there arose a large heart toward our throat. Time is the essence of contracts, and the saving ordinance of those in trouble. We had a stoat line in our pocket, and a large hook intended for rock bass, if we failed to take .'rout. And as good luck would have it v e havi got a nice sandwich and a piece of boiled corn beef in our other pocket. We called the dog pet names, but it was no go ! Then we tried to move down, when he moved up ! At last we trebled our bass line, and fastened the limerick to it, baited it with the corn beef, tied the end of the line to a limb, and angled for a dog. Tige was in r.ppetite. He swallowed it. and sat with his eyes on ns for more; but with no frn ndly look beaming from his countenance. Not any ! Then he pulled gently on the line it was fast ! Tige yanked and pulled, but 'twas of no use ! We quickly slid down the tree almost blistering our back doing it seized our pole, and straightway went thence somewhat lively. We found the string of fish, and reached the buggy aud a commanding spot in the ruad in time to see tne sturdy yeomen move forth. We saw him and his coh' rts, male and female, move slowly, as if in no haste. We mm . War shw thf-m look ud tne tree, v e saw an aming crowd engaged about the dog. We came quickly home and kindiy left the bass line and hook to farmer. The White Mountains in .Hay. A visitor who paid his respects to Mount Washington ra' her earlier than is customary, writes to a western paper: "One of the most signal adventures of a life fail of them has been the ascent of Mount Washington in the early part ot May, before the winter fences and water ways across the carriage road have been taken down, when there are snow drilts twenty feet deep to be shovelled throngb by the workmen repairing the road, and when the Summit rlouse is just emerging from its wintry coverlet of snow. "The Tip-Top House is entirely free and clear of Bnow, bat on every hand the immacmate element is still found in large quantities, and the Summit House is hall buried np. "The views to be obtained from tht grand old mountain tops are now far ahead of any to be had in summer. The sombre monotony of the panorama of the mountains stretched out on every hand is relieved by the tops of loftiest mountains having caps of snow, while the lesser i nes are as fresh looking as in the summer time. Then in every gorge and wave of the hills, one sees the charming little cascade.) so busy in taking away the snows of the uast winter, which, as they leap careleedy from rock to rock, send up their tiny liae of spray to make the clouds which cover the mountains at even tide. "The rod are in a horrid condition now, but sixty men are at work on the mountain road, and large gangs on the other lines, so that all will be ready for the opening of tbe season on June 1." At Vajjttb, in the petty principality of Lichtenstein there was hung the other day a young fellow who had murdered his own mother. The gallows was a pole with a Urge iron hook. Tbe criminal, who had a noose around his neck, was hung on this hook by the executioner, who then turned him around by his legs until his tongue C traded, and he was black in the face. 3 execution lasted exactly nine minutes. No doetor was present, and the culprit lived at least for seven minutes after he bad been hang on tbe hook. Crops in Southern California are reported to nave ian proved of late.

Til K COOK'S STORY. BT HERSEU. "No," T said; "go away." I always did say that when the , came a botheriu' me in the kitcheu, those beggars. "No," I said, bat he would come in, and stand there a lookiu' so wretched that I could do nothing fiercer than shake the soup ladle at him and yell, "Well, 'Well, now, what do you want?" "Somethiu' to eat," says he, as meek as .... . . . . i , .i a a lamb, "jlotner is sick, ami uauor in dead, and she. and I and baby are sohungTv!" Jest the same old story," said I, "that everv beggar-boy has told me for years. --There-go away." And fastening my br. astpin. that had a trick of coming undone, I knew by that that I had it on. It was one I'd had given me, and it was v orth m deal. It had belonged to a richold lady I waited on, and poor folk-- generally doii't have such pins. But he looked so pitiful that mv heart melted, and says I, i "I know yonr lying, but it's jest me to be 1 iinposetl 'upon. Kit down there and eat I your breakfast, f d I'll give you some I scraps aiterwards." And then I went on with tbe pudding, k. pin' my eye on the child. He was as w hite as a sheet, and his cheeks as hollow as a man's of eighty, and his poor little feet w- re bare; and the tears would rise into my eyes whether I would or not, aud I felt sort o' wicked for bavin' spoken so at first. The short and long of it is, I stuffed hip 1 .sbet as full as it could be, and sent him off stuffed full, too; and I went back to the kitchen, and iu feelin' quite contented like, aud as though I'd done my duty, when t. elin' somethin' queer about my collar, I put my baud up aud the pin was gone. I looked all over the floor. It wasn't there. I hadn't been ont of the room, ami in a moment I knew who had got it. It was that beggar-boy. That came of har l orin' beggars for the first time in mylite I jest pitehed whal I had in my baud on the flisr, ' fwas only a wooden lowl; but I d a do: e J. st tin MM, I B stopped out of my warn I And out 1 went into tlu :; .t" "Mr. Policeman." I cried, to one that was jest agoing by, by luck, "catch that leggar-boy. He's booked my pin." And I Nfl I MM nothing like the way that big man strided up the street and ed on to that Midge. He gave h sere. ch. and th. u began to cry: aud all 1 Mfl lO the policeman was: "Oct back my pin. That's nil I C re tor." Hut that was easier said than done. The pm was not to be found He'd throwu it aw, iv. most likely. And then I was in such a boiiing Mge that I could have killed him. "Lock him up, sir," said I to the policeman, 'and I'll appear agin him to-morrow." And then I had to go back to the kitchen; for be a cook's emotion what they MM . her missus and her master won't think ot going without their dinner particularly her master. "Well, 1 kept boilin' and frettin', and wishin' I could hang the boy. And never in my lite did I have sach a time with misBus. It was Cook, the meat ain't done enough; and, Cook, the gravy is too thick. And the nnder gal was gone, and I had to wait myself. Aud at last, wben dinner was set down to me, 1 couldn't eat one bit of it. I put it away untouched, and just sit down and cm d. Next morning I went to court and told MJ story, and the polic man said he had seen the boy throw samctbing away; ami the Judge be sentenced him to be locked up for I dunno how many days; and all the vb hile tbe little rascal kept crying, and vowing he never saw the pin. It made it so much tae worse. If he had own uj, he wouldn't have deserved halt so bad. Hut as it was, I was glad to see him punished, and I'd been gladder still to have seen him hung. When I went Lome,t I felt better: and so, finding myself hungry for the first time since I lost my pin, I got out the cold pudding and a bit of meat, and sat down alone by myself in the kitchen to eat them. "N wonder missus foand htult," said I. as I put my spoon into the pudding. "There's lnmps in it like btones." And with that I tried to break it and couldn't; and leeliug curious like, I put it on the table. It seemed to me a real stone. "In the sugar, likely, ' says I, "and broke the pudding away; and ther.- iu the midst I saw- my breastpin. It had dropped in while I was mixiu' it, and there it was." About an hour aiterwards all the help down the street bad it to tell that Ann Gerrythat's me- had gone mad and rushed ofl to drown herself. I went with mithin' on my head, wringin' my hands andcryin': but where I went was to the prison, to beg and pray that dear boy's pardon of the Judge, and ask him to lock me up in the precious innocent's place. That boy I consider my boy now. He shall have all I've got in the savings bank, every cent A better boy never lived, and uext to his own mother. She' better now, and doin flue wushin' aud fintiu', as I can rt commend to suit any lady. That boy loves- me. And this 1 alwavs sa t all 1 know when 1 hear 'em talk of beggars and j tramps: "Don't jndge 'em because of their poverty. Don't judge, lest, as our minister reads out of the Bible, you be judged yourself by them above you." Those cin't the words, but it's the spirit, and so I hope it's all the same. A CM of Mistaken Id. ntity. The Frauktort Yeoman is responsible for the f dlowing story: V. e had the pleasure of greeting yesterday, our friend, Colont-1 W. D. Launom, of I'm-. Tennessee, who spent the day in our city, it being bis first visit to Frankfort since 1860-1, when he represented the counties ot Hickman aud Fulton in the Legislature. His visit recalls an amusing incident which occurred on the memorable exenr-ion of the Kentucky Legislature to Cincinnati and Co- i luuibus at the invitation of the i Ohio Legislature, just before the war, wl ile he was a member. Among the party were Gen. Scott Brown, of this county, then Adjutant General ; Clinton McClarty, Clerk ot the House, and Gen. Geo. B. Hedge, then a representative of Campbell county. Now it happens that Lanhoni and McClarty strikingly resembled each, other, while in features and gneral person d appearance General Hodge and General Brown were not unlike. One day, vhile being entertained very hospitably in Cincinnati, it seems that Lannom and Brown returned together to the Barnet House, and entered the parlor armin arm, feeliug veTy comfortable after their round of pleasure and sight-seeing. Opposite the door by which they came in there was a large mirror, reaching from the ceiling to the floor. Mistaking this tor a door, and seeing their own images, Lannom remarked, "See yonder Brown, there comes Clint, McClarty and George Hodue." "Yes," says Brown; "and as tight as bricks." "Let's go and take them otl to bid," said Lannom, and they advanced to carry out their purpose, until they were first apprised of their error by coming in contact with the mirror. Lannom says it was a remarkable case of mistaken personal identity, and not at aG attributable, as some might infer, to the peculiar influence under which excursionists are generally supposed to labor. A Retobteb's 'Retbtwox. A Dayton reporter, who couldu'l attract the attention of a female reportei at the late Woman's Suffrage Convention in that city, thus pays her for her independence and indifference: "Miss Sallie M. Joy represented the Boston Poet She distinguished herseli by her generally independent, don't-care-a-cent air, end the number oi books she carried under her arm and kept on the table. She walks with something of a masculine stride, and always carries a pencil -niVr hand. She bas tne noeton anectatiou lor eye-glasses, wear a sailor hat, and dresses neatly, but plainly. As she is not preeminently a thing of beauty, I should think her chances of remaining a Joy forever are good."

CURRENT PARAGRAPHS. RtiM for Hw Women. Peabls are more fashionable for a bride to wear at her weddiug than diamonds. Several cottages at Long Branch have the walls hung with embroidered leather and gay-colored silks, instead of paint or paper. A BEArrmTb girl of twenty-two years was married last week to a gentleman in his seventv-fltth year. May and December nowhere. Weodino cards are no longer printed with a monogram. The latest stylo is the letter only of the bride's name, large, plain, and simply printed. Flirtation is described by some one as a "game in which both sides know what they are playing for, and it is a mere trial ot skill to see which one will come off second best." Bronze boots are no longer lashionablo and buttoned boots are old style, laced boots having taken their place. Some are stitched aud elaborat ly embroidered with white, but the plain black are considered much more stylish.

The BostoLians are gn atlv interested in this enterprise. TiM l';.iv. ler says M it: W are glad to learn that the Knogl -Mast for teaching women to be florists, gardeners, horticulturists and ta.-mcrs generally, are so lar completed that a Sutanol will probably bo opened this raonth. A nice, commodious house and two acres ot land, all well enclose ', have been secured at Newtt n Centre, on B. u"ü stret t; a practical cultivator has b en engaged to give the necessary practical teaching; while several competent lecturers have volunteered to give instructions in botany, vegetable physiology, and other subjects of int, rent and importance to the horticulturist and florist. A sufficient sum of n onev has been secured to start with though much more will be reqni.ed to make the undertaking a permanent thing; and a very considerable numuer -twenty or more women have applied lor admistioa to the school already. It is not to be a charity school, but some thirtv or more dollars will be charged per quarter tor tuition, and there will be four terms a year. D-.y s holarsand boarding pupils will be received, and the board will be as low as cm possibly be afforded. It is proposed, as we understand, to begin with raising flowers, small fruits and vegetables for the Boston markst. This is a movement ol the right kind, and in the right direction. It is taking hold of the woman's rights question in a manner that is hoped to prove practical. A BrsiVESS W OMAN. The Toledo Blade gives the following account of a woman who can take good care ot hersclt, ballot or no ballot: We know a lady whom we think is entitled to the ballot. Several years since the husband ot Mrs. Josephine Simpson went to California in search ot a fortune, and since his departure Mrs. S. has heard nothing bom him. She, however, did not sit down and bewail the fate that left her I widow; she commenced business and succeeded to an extent gratifying to herseli and friends, and the manner in which she transacts business will be of interest, and we hoje a source of profit to the strongminded ones of her sex. Mrs. Simpson is the owner of a canal boat, which she manages iu person. Last tall she contracted with a lumber firm in this city to deliver a quantity of black walnut lumber ou their dock the ensuing spring. After making the contract she went up the canal, chased the trees in the woods, hired MU" men to cut the logs, and then hired the logs sawed at a mill. Yesterday she delivered the cargo of lumber she had contracted and received pay for the pane. Tbe firm taking this lumber state that Mrs. Simpson differs materially lroni most boatmen, in that shesnever asks for money until her contracts are fulfilled to the letter, and then she do- s not allow a prolongation of a settlement when her work is performed she demands the pay, and in this manner her accounts are kept in a healthy condition, and in business she prospers. She has accumulated $15,000 to $20,000. That lady is entitled to the ballot A speaker at ft recent woman's suffrage meeting in San Francisco said: Two gir 8 from a high school went into the count :y for vacatiou. An opportunity was affbräed them to learn something during then holidays- the one as an amstant in a fainiW, the other to help a farmer through harvesting, it being difficult to hire men. At the end of the vacation they compared results. The housemaid hau worked sixteen hours per day, and was paid two dollars per week.

aUHTTAL s( OURDBIXISa. A Woman's Chamber Invaded by Rob. bera at Might Sne Is Choked, Beaten, Kicked ami Danpreronal jr laijarcd. From the St. Louis bomocrat, 24tb. An unusually atrocious piece of ruffianism was perpetrated at about one o'clock Sunday morning, at the residence ot Mr. Oakis, between Fourth and Fittli streets. Mr. Oakes' family, consisting, besides himself, of his wite, tvvo children, and his wife's sist r, oce-uteviHtr the nnuer mit of the house on the rortheast coner of Tenth strict and Howard. The apartments are entered from the rear, through the yard. Mr. Oakes usually goes home early, but ou Saturday night went to the levee to await the arrival of a steamboat on which his sister was expecttd. His family retired, Mrs. Oakes leaving the door unfastened for his return, aud a lamp burning iu her room. With her was hi r little boy, aud in a room above slept her MM and little daughter. At about 1 o'clock Mrs. Oakes awoke as two Men entered the room, one a negro and One white man. She was proliably awakened by their entrance, though they made little notea in coming in. They had passed into the rear yard, np the stairs, tsxronffb the kitchen, and w i re in her chamber. The negro iustantly sprang to her, siezed her by the throat, and with his knee heavily pressing on her body began choking her, bidding her to make uo noise, to utter not a word, but to point out to them where her husband s money -vas. She tainted, and the white scoundrel searched. He fouud a pockct-liook containing only some $30, at which they were disappointed and became enraged, and the negro fiercely threatened her lite, choked and beat and kicked her, while his confederate searched the room. The nojrflO tried to pour some liqnid down her throat, but in the struggle the vial broke. and the contents were spilled. At length the miscreants dragged Mrs. Oakes from tbt Ixd and through a window tha. was dose by, out upon the porch, she falling upon her back aud receiving additional injuries. Here thej struck her till she re lapsed into apparent insensibility, when they pfObablj thinking her dead, flung bet throng!; tlie window upon the bed, but leaving her lo ad hanging over the window Mil. Meanwhile, Mrs. Oakes' little boy lay in breathless k rror upon thefloor, where be had b en plac- i by one of the dastards, with threats oi death if he made any noise. The v. retchi ll.-d, having awakened no one but Mr. Oak s and her child. They oonM not have been gone long When Mr. Oakes came home. Passu up stairs, he fouud the bedro m in darkness. Groping tor the lamp, he louud it atlen;:lu beneath a pile of clothes, the wick turned Own, still barn ing, the chimney preventing the clothes from taking fire. Taming up the wick, the light showed him the apartment iu (cartel ConfaSsOB, his wite apI '.reutly a corpse, aud his child nearly M lifeless with fright. The sister up stairs nailed, the neighbors were aro-.sed, and a physician was summoned. Dr. Scott came in and attended to Mrs. Oakes. She remained nearly or quite insensible, with wollen face and neck and brniied person, and l.ad apparently suffered severe internal injur e In the room were found a new razor aud Ihe biieath ol a bowie knife, left by the s nnc reis. Not until Sunday noon did Mrs. Oakes regain consciousness, and then suffered so aenftetv that opiates had at once to be adminisl Teil. She was able, however, at intervals to tell her story. It appears that the ruffians had no object bvl ni ir They nust have bad accurate information of the family's affairs, and doubtless took the opportun) y of Mr. ak. -' absence to attempt a robbery which tut y expected would reward them. It is to be feared that Mrs. Oakes' life will be sacrificed by their wickedness audunnameable meanness. Her health was precarious, aud her presi nt c ondition is critical. Something about Wood. The comumption and waste of wood in the United States every year is frightfully enormous, if we care to look ahead of tbe present century. Railway sleepers alone require 150,000 acres of the best timber every year. The annual expenditure in wood for railway buildings, repairs and cars is ?38, 500, 000. The locomotives in the Cuited States consume annually $40,000,000 WOrfh of wood. The wood industry amounts to $500,000,000. And yet all this is a mere cipher. At nearlj exery mill fires for burning slabs are neer allowed to die out, burning up millions of cords that might be made available if it could be got to market The worst of all is, fires iu the woods. Every year these rage fearfully, destroying the growing timber by the thousand acres. Not long since a Maiue man purchased five thousand acres of splendid timber on the Menominee. Within a ft r firu went through it, and every stick np lost. Strange to say, most of these tin s which every year send destruction broadcast through the timber, arc the result of sheer carelessness. There is so much tiruln r that the lumbermen really delight in wasting it, and enormous as the supply, more is wasted every year than is sent .o ii. i'kct. In a few years, there is little doubt but if the lumber men had this thing to do over, they would be more careful. In this connection, and to show something of the way lumber is eaten up, one of our Milwaukee lumbermen, who is deeply interested iu the preservation of tbe timber of the country, and whose lands, owing entirely to the care taken, he VI suffered only iuconsidtr.kbly by fire, told us a day since, that a careful computation of the matter showed that the logs cut at one of his mills last year, if placed end to end, would reach a distance of three hundred and fifty nine and a half miles. Hyron's IJraTP. Attention is directed, by a rather sronelyI worded letbr adelressed to su English pa per, to liyroa s burial pla.e. He was i terred in the church ol Iineknall Tarkard, which the wtiter describes as a miserable, poverty-stricken village, standing near a wide sandy tract of unreclaimed ground, with stuuted bushes and blackened furze, which Hobin Hood would certainly not recognize ns a portion of Sherwood Forest. Byron, his daughter and their ancestors lie ia the vault of tbe mean but ancient edifice, which dates from the eleventh century. The only memorial to the poet is a plain white tablet, without ornament of outline i or inscription, placed there by Mrs. Leigb. , oi,,, r.rn- Ii it uaaiih of th admirers ur loud-voiced in their praise, was ami is the only one who, out of her scanty means, bad more than words to offer as a tribute to his deathless fame. The Dean and Chapter of Westminster steadily refnsed to permit Lord Byron to be buried in the Abbey, and the recent discussions in regard to his life are not likely to make Dean Stanley willing to move in the matter so late in the day. Lord Byron has, however, a wealthy son-in-law, Lord Lovelace, and two very well-to-do grandchildren, Lord Wentworth and Lady Ann Blunt, living, and these might find funds to pnt the church in good order; the more so that the wife of tbe first and mother of the last also lies buried there.

:'Wm pis NBW BUILDING OF THE SOUTH WEsTEKN MUTUAL LIFE UtflURAMOl CO. I

So obeat are the improvements iu architecture in tbe West that this section is now no mean rival to the East. As aspocimen of more prominent Western architecture we give our leaders an engraving of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company's Building just ereetoa in Milwaukee, Wis., under the supervision of Architect E. Towusend Mix. The style of the building is Italian Gothic, and it was built solely for the Insurance business. It fronts on Broadway and Wisconsin streets, two prominent thorot.ghlarcs, sixty feet on thv. latter and oue hundred feet on the forin r; is six stories high, including Manat d root. It is built off stone, the MM gr-y limestone laid in random courses rubble, w hile the arches, piers, string courses, etc , are of finely cut wbit tbens stone. Support i in.' the arches of the first story are a doubl; row of polished red Scotch grauite pillars; supporting' th spandrels of the front Doroh entrance are six similar columns, with carved I tal ian capitals. The porch has its jambs handsomely enriched with carving, as well as the face of tbe spandrels. The cornices are of galvanized iron, th roofs ol pnrplf slate. In building, 13,080 BUbio feet of stone were required for the foundation; 000,000 brick WW required for various walls and arches; 10.000 cubic t'et t of cut stone for dre.'d work: S.OOb feet of concrete for fire proof floors: 385,000 lbs. ot iron lor floors, joists; 2t, 000 tert ot corrugated iron plab s lor ceiling , etc. : Steam's Patent Fecentric 11 -.-ad Block, for Circular rtoW'MtftaV, We hope very person who MOS thin BO ...111 . . 1 , 4.lt j ... t m nuujk "Hi's mmm n BO Br I sonally interested himself, will call atten tion to it. To the casual observer it would s- ein of little importance, but it is a matter of vital importance to nearly everyone in this country. Weus. the langUag of the iuveutor himself in liaawrihinn this u'r. at improvement m the nianutftcture of lumber. His invention was first patented iu lhöG, and has been baffen the public foe lourteeu years, and on the 15th of April, 1870, the patent was extended tor - ten years longer. Tbe construction off the Ihwl Blocks tor a circular taw-mill is of much more impor:ance than many arc apt to suppose. The saw must run well o make good lumber; but if, fifOM any emXUK, it inclines one-sixth orouo-eighth of an inch sideways, it matters not so much as to haw blocks which do not -tt the logs accurately, for if the boards are set :blfi Of ; of an inch or more in thickness than others, nothing will correct the error. Tli . boards will he sawed as badly as tbej are set. But ou the other hand, if the saw is so filed or set thatitdrawe sideways, i: coea not show it co much in the lumber, as it ordinarily ineli'icB the same way every time. This cau bu corrected in the fifing and settinc. To get a p rteci head block, many diflicii!tiee are to be overcome, apparent only to those experienced in building and running mills, and who have lino d voted much attention to learn the cause of and the remedy tor imperfect sawing. The accuracy of thickuets desii able, can never be secured by m -cbatucai principles heretofore employed. Neither the rack aud piuion, anew, incline plan . or anv thing of the kind, will give it. A quick mot on elllgtrea thicker board thau a slow one. A light log will b-j thrown farther than a henry . an, The twistmg ol a conm cnng suait, useu m connection with rack and pinion, or screw, increases the variation; ono part of the Lri.'.; p.Ltclogged with saw dust, while the other parts are free, another cause of irregularity. The MffOW blocks are slow, laborious t!iiLj,s. There la no eelf-adjaating principle eonnei t. d with them. Tlu hand;-- iim-t be stopped with pri citdon.or th. re wi'dbe great variations of thicknt Much tiniu i- lout ;ii adjn-ting tho thickii- 's, and anything like accuracy is out of tho question. The cogs iu tin. rack and pinion blocks soon wear loose, ami leave the knees free to be throwu too far by quick movements of the lever, -r to be arred and drawn forward uu-ii r the MOtton of the saw with a liyht cant. Cogs also wear very irregular -one cog more than auother. The force of logs turned against the ki. -often break offthe con ers of tho cogs, caus'.nr great irrcRularity in the lumber. The screws in screw blocks, with M much turning under pressure to More the logs, wear lo -c very fast, in two plaoi s, viz: The threads in the nutsou the knee . and between the collars where they are attached to the frames. They soon get very loose , and permit the jarring of the mill and the drawing of the saw to move tbe c;ints, as they become thiu and tight, so as to make tlu- lumber uneii in thickness. The crowning excellency claimed for the Stearna Blocks, lies in the delicate anil nearly absolute Matheanattoa precision and uniformity in tbe adjustment of the thickness. i ins point ol so much importance is secured by tl,.- ure of eccentrics, so applied in (giving kteral motions to the log, as to be reachiug or passing their centers wnen completing the motion, and adjusting the thickness. Its Motion will be fastest when first started and will continually decrease until it cea-es on reachi: k a dead centre. This givrs a slow movement when nearing the required thicknt as ami leaves no mommtums ior continuing the motion beyond. The advantage over all resistance is complete. The heaviest los are adjusted with the same preci.-ion as the lie;!ie-t. The setting arms work in pair -one advancinc while the other is receding, ho that the log is set forward by the backwarel as well as the forward motion of the ha-dlo. This prevents a retrogado motion of tho log. It also doubles the purchase, making the movements light and easy. This application of tbe eccentric secures a most perfect self adjustment of thickness without auy trouble and delay on the part of the sawyer". So perfect ia tho eccentric movement at to accuracy, that we do not gain or lose the thickness of paper in sawing up a large log. In the first place, we have the selfadjusting principle, giving such a slab as will leave a board at last neither too thick nor too thin; and then as we neither gain or lose as mush as the thickness of paper in cutting up a log, the last board ie sure to ce-me out right every time. Though the movement of the handle be continued, tbe knees cannot be thrown forward nearer the saw than the thickness of a board. Thus the cants fox boards arc eaweel, leaving either a perfect board, or an inch and a half or two inch plank, as the sawyer chooses, without stopping eveu to look at tbe blocks, and tbe last board as quickly as any. The wear of the eccentrics, or their journals, or the yokes, never causes the least inaccuracy. The eccentrics have plenty of surplus rise, and if they should wear a sixteenth of an inch less, it could make no variation in the setting not the thickness of a greenback in sawing np a whole log so perfect is the adjustment made by an eccentric on reaching a dead center. Tapering lumber may be sawed, as ooe block may be thrown out of gear while the other is moving the difference. The beauty an . excellence of this arrangement cannot be fully understood without seeing the blocks, and watching their operation on the mill. The simplicity, directness and power of the movement, tbe evident durabihtv of the blocks, and the ease, dispatch and perfeci accuracy in setting the various thicknesses in the dark pleases all who witness
