LEFROY.the newspaper reporter who murdered Gold on an English railway train, was considered a victim of homicidal mania, but he stretched hemp “all the same,” the other day, and there was no fooliDg about it either.

This represents a steady growth from a very small beginning eight years ago. The three groceries and a meat market yield a handsome profit, besides providing goods for the 980 members at a discount from regular rates; but the dry goods and the shoe stores have barely paid expenses. t)n the whole, however, the enterprise is a sound success. j Letters received in Hartford from the Chinese students recently ordered home say that on their arrival in Shanghai they were sent to confinement In a romote part of town, the Government’s, intention apparently being to examine them as to their belief or disbelief cf Christianity before they could scatter through the country.

Onions and potatoes are staple crops in Scott county, lowa, and vicinity > but this year both are short. Last year by this time over 200,000 bushels of onions were shipped from the city of Davenport, and this year only 101,800 bushels, selling all tbe way from $1.40 to 75 cents. Last year over 260,000 bushels of potatoes were shipped from that point, and this year only about 40,000 bushels. Among the first to formally approve and use the revised version of the New Testiment were the Proeteetant Clergymen of New Haven. A few days ago, in a meeting for discussing the subject, a majority announced a change of {opinion by votiDg that it was too faulty to be acceptable. The chief condemnation was of bad English, the Rev. Dr. John E. Todd declaring that he had counted 150 errors of grammer uncorrected in one of the epistles to the Corinthians alone. Tiir question is diqcusaed with a good deal of seriousness whether the suspension bridge across tbe East River in New York will bear all the ’weight the of it want to load on, and the only remedy against a grave brake down would be a pier in tbe middle of the river. Then it would no longer be a suspension bridge, and the collisions against that pier in midcurrent would he incalculable in number. This gigantic and costly blunder bas already absorbed $13,000,000. The influence of education upon the commission of crime, has been the subject of a recent investigation by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Education, and the conclusions and results are summed up as follows: “Abjjut oneof all the crime in the country is by persons wholly illiterate; about one-tbird by persons practically illiterate; and tbe proportion of criminals among tbe illiterate Js about ten times greater than those who have been instructed in the elements of a common school education, or have advanced further than this.,

China is rapidly making efforts to, compete with other nations in tlib employment of such modern conveniences for traveling and for the internal and external exchange of commodities as will constitute for her some important claim* to civilization. Steamship lines are being promoted and extended; telegraph lines are being extensively constructed; railroads are projected to connect all the important cities. Nor are the arts of war neglected. Fortifications are being erected, arsenals established, and European methods generally introduced in both asmy and navy.

™ ithin the last few weeks the ladies of the Bilk Culture Aisociatiou, of Philadelphia, have reeled sufficient raw silk from c*cions raised during the summer to weave into a gown, which i« to be presented to Mrs. Garfield. The quality of the silk is said to be equal to that of the beet Italian, which is the finest produced. Silk manufacturers of Paterson, N. J., will make the silk Into a pattern equal to the best French designs. When finished, this garment will baver.tbe distinction of being the first entirely silk fabric made in America.

Tin Holy League in Russia was started about three monshs ago to detect Nihilists and persons sympathizing with tie caute In the ranks of Ru tian society. The members of the Is-ague bJpng to all classes of society, from that nearest the throne to thp

petty shopkeepr. The association is a secret one, and it is only by certain signs that members recognise each other. Oh joining tbe League a solemn undertaking Is demanded from the person desirous of playing the part of spy In the circle of his intimate friends and aeqaaintanees. The salaries of the agents vary according to the value of their services and the Seal they display in the work of denunciation, Among a numerous body of Russian intelligent men this means of expirpatlng Nihilism is ridiculed and condemned,

The postal stamp saving system in England is meeting with great success Any person desiring it is furnislut.’ with acard divided into twelve square*, each the size of a postage stamp. Tue party using tbe card affixes as often as he pleases a penny stamp w ithin one of these squares, and when .In card is full it is deposited In a post of flee ravings bank. When £1 is accumulated fid is allowed as interest on t)ie deposit, and when <lO has been reached the depositor can purchase government stock for that sum, receiving 63 yearly interest. The cost of purchasing the £lO stock is only 9J. A Washington special rays: “It is more than probable that the action of tbs court to-day finally and forever disposes of the star route proeecutione. In every case, with but one possible exception—that of Dorsey—the statute of limitation intervenes and bars any sriminal proceeding. The counsel for the government maintain, however, that tbe battle which bas been go*ng on in the courts for the matter of a week is but a mere preliminary skirmish, and that behind It they have sufficient evidence to make a case by regular proceeding before the grand jurv for presentment aud Indictment Still, however, the current of opinion is that the last has been heard of the star route business.”

’i’Hß plundered depositors of a wrecked bank in a Kansas tottn have got the president of the institution “in chancery,” so to speak. They took him of the custody of the Sheriff, and are holding him a prisoner on their own account witfr-the threat confronting him, “Settle or diet” It appears that the bank, after having been plundered by Its oflloers and its effects carried off, continued to receive deposits up to tbe last moment before its collapse was finally confessed. The evidences of deliberate fraud and theft are abundant * Q< * this outraged people do not propose to submit tamely to the robbery.

The annual report of General Kaum, tbe United States Commissionei of Internal Revenue, will show that the aggregate receipts from internal revenue increased from $193,881,916 in 1880 to $136,229,942 In 1881. The increase in Illinois is from $23,000,006 in I*Bo to $23,000,000 jn 1881. Illinois, as usual, furnishes more l of this revenue than any other State. The State which contributes the next largest amount is Ohio, with $19,000,000.' New York State paid only and Pennsylvania but $7,000,000. Kentucky paid the most of any other Southern State, $8,719,162, and Virginia was next in the South, with $6,000,000. The First Illinois Distilct (Chicago) paid $8,000,000 of tbe whisky tax, and the Fifth District (Peoria) $11,000,000. Governor Neald, of Idaho, wiih a full knowledge of the subject, strongly denounces the cuise of Moimonism. Heßays:“The government must go right at it now and cut it out by tbe roots. If not, in the end it Will have to be put down at the point? of the bayonet. Already they think they can defy the United States, and I have seen a mob of 20,00) Mormons in Utah march by the Federal Court when it was in session and hoot in derision of its authority. I have seen the flag borne, covered with insulting mottoes, and I have seen it dragged in the dirt. We must meet this thing now or it will cost bloodshed to put it down. It has no right to exist, because it is openly and professedly treasonable and disloyal to the government, to say nothing about the demoralizing and beastly practices of tbe church. *

Thl Emperor of Russia is trying to stop drunkenness in his dominions. A commission authorized by him has reported a plau which embraces localoption as one of the methods for regulating the sale of iutoxicating liquors. The power to grantor withhold licenses is placed in the control of cemmunes and oounty boards. In a county commune the price of a license may be increased from 160 to 2,(MX) roubles. Communal Councils may prohibit the sale of liquors in certain districts, and agricultural communes are empowered to prohibit the sale within a distance of two versts from their own village. Inhabitants are authorized to report the names of the police who neglect their duty in enforcing these anteliquor laws, and a specified inhabitants can, on complaint, have any obnoxious driuking house closed.

The draft oi a bill for a postal savings-bank system, which Post-master-General James will cause to be presented to Congress will embrace the following features: First, that-the Postofflcef Department should te authorized to establish postal savings banks at its discretion; second, that the system should \xj eellsustaining, no appropriations being required; third, that the credit of the United State* be pledged for the payment to the depositor or his legal representatives of every sum deposited in accordance with the provisions of the act; fourth, that the rate of interest to the depositor shall be 2 per cent per annum, the 1 per cent difference to be for the payment of all whatever nature under the systefn, and the surplus, if any, to be turned into the

geueral fund of the Poetoffice Department. This bill will further provide all the neoenary precautions for the safe keeping of the money deposited until it can be turned over to the central depository at Washington for investment, for protection against fraud ou the part of depositors, for the easy withdrawl of deposits at the option t of the depositor, and for the detail of the necessary Lose*ctors and clerks. As at present agreed upon, each person can deposit not more than S6OO in one year, nor can have no deposit at any one time more than $1,600. An Alexandria (Egypt) dispatch denies that Asiatic cholera has broken out in that city.

Bismarck’s Alleged First Love.

Oor. of the Poatl Hlrlap. For some months there resided iu the family of a neighboring land proprietor (in the Torontal Comitat) a lady past the age of sixty, who in her youth was Bismarck’s first love. She was born at Greifswald, where her parents let rooms to young students attending the University in that town. About the year 1840 a certain Count St ■ • w ho later on made a brilliant military career, lived at their house and frequently received the visits of a fellow student from the Agricultural Academy. The visitor was Otto Von Bjsmarck.wbo soon conceived a tender affection for the ten-year-old Josephine the daughter of the house, and manifee ted his sentiments in seranades and similar spectacu|ar tokens of his affection. Owing to pome unpleasant little oonnict with the academical authonties, he was obliged to leave Griefswald, his departure, however, in no way prevented him from addressing the most tender and touching epistles to the sweetheart left behind. In one of these missives he formally sued for Josephine's hand, which, however,was promptly refused him by the parents who strongly objected to give their daughter to “so ill-reputed a young man.” Thereupon, in 1842, the correspondence ceased altogether. Josephine’s parents, who had met with sad financial reverses through the instrumentality of their own spendthrift sou emigrated to America (Minnesota) in 1845, and afterward went to Brooklyn to live, where in 1852, a*er much reluctance on her part, Joseph.ne became wife of a Hungarian emigrant, dealer in petroleum, J. H os byname, who took her to New York. H eg died In 1872, and by invitation of his sister married to Mr. Gy here, Josephine has recently come to Hungary to spend the rest of her days. Mrs. H cs faithfully preserves the pieces of poetry addressed to her by Otto Von Bismarck.

There is treasure to dig for somewhere on Stone Mountain, in Arkansas,. Ben Munell was a noted hermit. He lived thirty years all by himself, was a highly successful trapper, and is believed to have accumulated $15,000 from the sale of skißs. He has now been found dead in his hut, and his money is buried in some unknown spot near by. Wide open mouths have come into fashion for women. This is a change from the prevailing style of the past. The proper mouth now, says the New York Graphic, is worn in a constant but mild smile,the corners being drawn buck horizontally with the lips left c, osed- The expression is one of amiable, quiet satisfaction with all the world—as though the mind was free from sorrow and the feet free from corns. Care should be taken apt to broaden this into an active grin except on mirthtul occasions; nor should the lips be compressed. AH should be in repose. The lips may be reddened, if the natural color be too light. A practice of painting the exposed membrane oi the upper lip broad and bright just at the centre has crept in, but it is bad, tot it gives an artificial and eensnong

look. The fashionable belle has cut the puckering string of her mouth, and no longer murmur* *‘prunes, prunes, prunes.” She can kiss two men simultaneously and give good satisfaction, wbert before only one oould And room at a time. The reader who supposes that the above is fanciful and not plain, straightforward fashion news is very much mistaken. Women can change the style of their faces, if not at will, at least considerably. The hair over the forehead can be so arranged as to produce any desired outline for the upper part of the face; the mouth can be made to widely vary its expression, the eyes can be kept partly wide open or languidly half-closed) the cheeks can be rounded by using “plumpers;” the eye-brows can be arched or straightened; the color can be controlled to a high degreet Thus It is apparent that women ban, ifdever, have to some extent the kind of face she wants. 'The nose is about the only Intractable feature. It sticks right out in unalterable Independence, defying all efforts to shorten or straighten it. Let me interpolate the fatit that hot one Woman In ten evet laughs or smiles naturally. Knowing full well our defeots of teeth or expression, we try to hide or reform them. I know a girl 'who will never go to the minstrels or other shows because she isn’t pretty when She laughs. If Inadvertently caUght by something bomic she buries the laugh in a handkerchief; but whenever possible she does does all her laughing internallyThis wrenches her terribly, and sooner or later her vitals will get broken all to pieces; but she prefers death to a display of her scraggy teeth.

The Wages of Sin.

Little Rock (Ark) Gazette, November 9. A very sad death occurred in the Penitentiary yesterday. All deaths are sad, bUt of all deaths tbfc death of a broken he&rt ii the saddest. t\ E. gulliVan, alias William Delaney, a young man of 23 years, one of the train robbers recently sentenced to 70 years in the Arkansas Penitentiary, was the victim of a broken heart. Several days ago he became gloomy, aDd going to Dr. Lenow, prison physician, complained of being sick, upon examination the physician dlsfcovered that the map wds not suffering from aqV perceptible disease, but that his pulse was 140. He was ordered to the hospital,where every possible care was given him. He revived after a time, but every one could see despair written on his countenance. He entered the prison cheerfully, and lightly spoke of the long term of his sentence, but after a while a letter C ime. When he read the lines his spirit sauk. Tears told of a misery that ink could not express. He want again to his bed. "The shadows are gathering fast and night is oppressing me with its darkness,” he said yesterday to some one standing near. “One crime, and then death in a Penitentiary. My old father, Who baS pteaclied the Gospel for y’ears, who iiiany and riiany a time blasped his hduds above tny head aud prayed, has beqp humbleddu his old age.

At times he seemed to be at churcb,listening to his father preach; and then he seemed to be playing with his sisters. He smiled and laughed softly. “Ah!” he would say. “your brother never forgets you t ”eUtldenly his face grew dark, and, waving his hand wildly t he began to mutter broken sentences, “Seizing the.bridle rein he sprang upon his antagonist’s horse and dashed away.” “He’s reading one ot these wild books that we used to steal away and devour,” said one of the dying man’s companions in crime. “Halt! he exclaimed, drawing a revolver and leveling it at the head cl young Horace,” continued the sufferer. “Slowly and sadly they left the church and walked along the well-worn path to the grave of Lawrence. Standing near the stone placed there by the Indian, Casper and his fair companion—and he muttered incoherently, the sentence dying away with 8 deep gronn. Suddenly he raised himself, looking intently toward the door, and slow ly eauk back, dead.

Indiana’s Executive Mansion.

Indianapolis News. The repugnance of General Arthur to live in the White House, and the extensive depurations it is undergoing, look as if it were haunted by some maleficent agency, and sooner or later would be abandoned for a healthier site and a handier house. Our little Indiana White House proved a mare fatal residence than even that of the Nation, and had to be abandoned after Just twenty-five years of unhealthy and uncomfortable occupancy. It has hapEened before now that still grander omes have had to be given up to malarial influences. The next selections will be made more wisely. The site of the Washington house was determined by that of the Capitol. One being put at one eud of the of the main avenue made it fit and symetricAl to out the other at the other end, without regard to the hygienic considerations. The selection of our home executive residence was asort of a “Hobson’s choice.” There was no other suitable building attainable. Ur. John H. Handers haa built it but two or three years before, and in 1853 the State bought it and Gov. Wallace, the doctor’s son-in-law, spent the last year of his three year’s time in it. Gov. Bigger took it next, lived through his term, but died very soon after leaving it. Gov. Whitcomb’s wife died in it. Gov. Wright lost two wives in two terms in it. Gov. Willard died while his family occupied it, and Gov. Morton’s family was constantly ailing during the thresyears he lived in it. He left in’64 and went to the Bates House. Since then the executive residence as been as it was at first, a rented house or the private resldenoe of the Governor before election, as Gov. Ray’s was, and Gov. Noble’s, and Gov. Porter’s is now. Sometime we may have a Legislature with unaminity enough to build a suitable Governor’s house instead of paying a sum equal to pretty fair salary as rent. The capital sum of that annual outlay should build a first-class Hooaier palace.

The Mines of South Africa.

Manchester Courier. The gross weight of diamonds contained in packages passed through the Kimberly Post Office in 1885 was 1,440 pounds avoirdupois,the estimated value being £3,367,897. The annual value of the mines in the Kimberly division owned at the end of 1880 by the Government and the London and South African Exploration Company is estimated as follows:Kimberly,£4,ooo,(K)o; Old de Beer’s, £2.000,000; Du Toit’e Pan. £2,ooo,ooo;Bultfontein, £1,500,000. At the end of last year 22,000 black and 1,700 white men were employed at these mines. Fromlhe Kimberly and De Beer’s mines alone diamonds to the extent of 3,200,000 carats are annually raised, while the other two mines above named yielded 300,000 carats last year. At the diggings on the Vaal river, about 250 men were at work last f'ear. The other important mining ndustries of the colony are the copper mines of Namaqualand, from which last year 15,310 tons of copper were exported, valued at $306,790. From the manganese mines in the Paarl division, 206 tons were exported; while at the coal mines in the Wodehouse and Albert divisions, about 1,000 were raised. The salt-pans in Simon’s Town, Malmesbury, Piquetberg, Fraser berg, Uitenhagen and Cradock yield about 9,000 tons of salt. Mineral springs abound in the oolony, many of them being well resorted to, but accommodation for visitors,as a rule,indifferent.

KISSES ON INTEREST.

An Old Man’s Curtain-lecture to the Young Lady Known|as“Sis.” From Peck’s Sun. Come here, Sis, and sit down beside me, and let me giveycu a little talking to. That is right. Sit clear at the other end of the sofa. It makes more room for my gout and corns, besides being a good habit for a young lady to become addicted to. Always pander to this habit, and you will in time find yourself walking through green meadows and beside the still waters of selfrespect. You mav be walking alone, to 6e sure, but will have fewer lawn drosses to do up on Monday morning. I wish to speak to you of your mother. It may be you have noticed a careworn look upon her face lately. Of course it has not bean brought there by auy act of yours, still it is your duty to chase it away. I don’t mean for you to run at and shake your skirts and tell it to "shoo,” as you would a hen, nor do I expect you to get on the other side of the fence and throw old oyster caas and pieces of barrel staves at it, as you did at the cow yesterday. But I waut you to get up to-morrow morning and get breakfast, and when your mother comes down and begins to express her surprise, go right up to her aDd kiss her on the mouth. You don’t imagine how it will brighten her dear face. Besides, you owe her a kiss or two. Awav back when you were a little girl she had kissed you when no one else was tempted by your fever-tainted breath and swollen race. You were not as attractive than as you arq now. And •long through those years of childish sunshine and shadows she was always ready to cure, by the magic of a mother’s kiss, the little, dirty, chubby hands whenever they were injured in those first skirmishes with this rough old world. And then the midnight kisses with which she has routed so many bad dreams, as she leaued above your restless pillow, have all been on interest these long, long years. Of oeurae she is not so pretty and. kissable as you are, but if you had done your share of the work during |hese last ten years the contrast would Pot be so marked. Her face has more wrinkles than yours, far more, aud yet if you were sick that face would appear to be more beautiful than an angel’s, as It hovered over you, watohing every opportunity to minister to your comiort, and every one of those wrinkles would seem to be bright wavelets of sun&hlue chasing each other over the dear old face. She will leave you one of these days. Those burdens, if not lifted from her shouldera, will break her down. Those rough, bard hands that have done so maDy uunecceseary things for you will be crqseed upon her lifeless breast. Those neglected lips that gave you your first baby kiss will be forever closed, and those sad, tired eyes will have opened in eternity, and then yon will appreciate your mother, but it will be too Ufa. There, there, don’t cry j

she has not left you yet. She is down iu the kitchen stringing beans for dinner, aud if you feel so badly you might go down and finish them, and let her change her dress and rest an hour before dinner. And after dinner you m : ght do up the dishes while she takes a little nap. 1 Then you might take down her hair and do it up for her. Yon need not wind it over your finger and fuss to make little spit curls as she used to do with yours, but • give it a good brushing and wind it up tenderly and gently, as if you enjoyed doing it for her. The young man down in the parlor can wait until you have performed these duties. If he expresses any impatience, you may explain to him that you feel under more obligations to your mother than you do to him. ,If this does pot seem to satisfy him, ask him how many times, he has got up in the middle of the night to warm nepermint for you when you were dying with the colic, or how many hqura he had earned you up and down the room just because you would not be quieted in any other way? Ask him to repeat Mother Hubbard backwards, and if he is unable to do it it will be a proof positive that he is not the one that has repeated it, and eXElained to you t. 700 times. Catechise im to find out whether he is the ono who gave you the black silk dress, and sat up at-night to make it while you were off have a good time. Corner him up and make him admit that he went without a new bonnet last winter that you might enjoy a sl2 one that you admired so much. Wring from him a confession that he has a stitch in his side, brought there by doing up your finery week after w’eek. Then show him out tbe-front door, put on a calico apron, and go out and help your mother pick currants for jelly, and I guarantee you think more of yourself, the world will think more of you, aud you will be happier and better for having done so.

Good Advice About Dress.

Harpers Magazine. It is important to know what'point of dress to emphasize. For instance, one may expend a large sum on a gown, and if the shoes be shabby or ill made, the gloves worn and the bonnet' lack style, the gown is entirely thrown away. But the gown may be no longer new; it must now’ be carefully brushed and well put on, the collars and cuffs, or other neck apd wrist trimmings, must be in perfect order,-the boots well mideand well blackend, even if not sew, the gloves fuultiees and the bonnet neat an sljditli. The effect is of a woman; no man, and very few women, precefve that the ress is not a new one. * 111 ) ANow Haven young woman had twice postponed l»er marriage after the weddiug guests had assembled, giving no reason but that 1 she was not quite ready.
