MURDERED HIMSELF.

About Haifa mile from' Uievillage of Oposura, Mexico, facing; the. Jiigh road, and separated frontin' riVer 5 agua by a bolt of trees, there stood some years ago a long, low cottage known /is. I,a Bolsa. S«‘nor Rodriquez. who was a squarely Built, clean-shaven mall of aliont 40. w ith grav hair, mustache and goatee, and with nothing remarkable about him except a deep out over, his right eyebrow, had now been occupying the cottage for a little over a year. Considerable tion was indulged in as to whom ltedriqucz was and what lie did for a living, lie never volunteered any information on that seore. but on one occasion lie was heard to say something which led to the inference that he,had been a sea captain. and on the strength of it the residents of the village called him the captain. . '

About this time the captain had got into trouble, lie owed his landlord and the village tradesmen in the neighborhood of SSOO, and the patience of his creditors' was nearly exhausted, when ? one day they received a letter from the captain in which lie wrote that lie would satisfy their claims on the following Monday.as a legacy left by a distant relative had been paid-in to his account at the village bank. '* On Saturday the captain came into town, met his landlord s son, chatted pleasantly with the young man and invited him to accompany him to the hank, lie remained at the bank about ten minutes, and came out at the end of that time, buttoning into the breast-pocket of his coat a fat-looking pocket book. He then went straight home, after making a few purchases and bidding the young man good-day. On Sunday morning the villagers were startled by the announcement made by the captain’s servant at the police station that her master had been murdered the night before ana robbed. The inspector and the whole available police force of the village, consisting of two policemen, set off for I-a Bolsa to unearth the mystery.

On reaching the building the windows and doors in front were closed and locked. Ongoing round to the back the door leading from the sitting-room to the garden, which sipped clown to the river, was found to be open, and on entering the sitting-room drops of blood were seen along the carpet between the.staircase and the garden door. On the staircase itself, the drops of blood were more frequent. The bedroom, however, was dearly the place where the murder had been committed. The table by the window had been pushed out of its place: the only two chairs in the room were lying on the floor. The bed,' which had not l>een slept in. was deluged in blood, and in the middle of it was a deep indentation, as if a heavy body had been pressed down upon it. A large clasped-knife, stained with blood, was laying upon the pillow' and by the door on the flour was an open pocket So much the inspector saw at a glance as he entered. lie took the pocket-book and hKtkcd-carefulhv^ through it: it was errfpriT - Imt lying near- it, aud. behind the 1 door, was a neatly folded paper. It had'ovidentlv fallen from the }K>eket-boek while the murderer was emptying the contents. It was a half-sheet of note paper folded in three, and written on it were the numbers and . value of forty-two hank notes, the total of which amounted to $3,750. Here was a dew at once. An officer was immediately dispatched to the village with the paper to enquire of the blank authorities whether those were the numbers of the notes which had been paid to the captain the day before. He also received orders to await the arrival of Capt. Salegria, a wellknown, and daring Mexican® detective, who was to arrive in the village at noon That day to visit an old friend. The bank identified the numbers of the paper as those of the bank notes paid the day before to the- captain. Tile money had been paid him by the bank in pursuance of an order contained in a letter on Saturday morning from one of its correspondents. Golez,Garacia& Co., a large firm doing an immense business wjjth the Cnited States. Further inquiry being made by the officer, it was ascertained that a man, who seemed to avoid observation, was seen driving along the road early on the morning of the' 1 murder in a vehicle very much of the style ... used in the country. The man who drove the mysterious man to where he , could obtain a stage which ran on the old Oposura road, showed the bugle.lull the stranger had giVyil him to chance. —and it was found to lie one - TiCTH< >??■ st olen from the captain. From the indications outside, there was no doubt t hat t hGfnurderer had gone out of the sitting-rogfn' back wurd,ulru>y ging the body of -Ms victim after -him,Across the smaH<CTassplot. and half waythrough the belt of trees, the footsteps continued; there they ceased, -On the soft mud and leaves was an impression - ap if aflon& 'ln)^ there; near this impression,-lying on the

ground, was a spade, and_at the distance of a few feet the pound had been dug up as if it had been intended to bury the body there. The project, however, hail been given up as the murderer had thought of a better plan for disposing of the body. But where? In the river, of course! Sure enough, in the river hank

the footprints were again found. The river had been dragged up and down and at sideways and across, and at every conceivable angle, but no body had been found. The inspector was getting impatient when a road wagon drove up and a dapper little man, swarthy complexion and. a heavy black mustache, jumped out. The stranger was none other than ('apt. Salegria, the famous detective. In a few minutes the detective had heardall uiai inspector had to tel). _ - “bet me see,” said the detective. “All the village, you say, knew tire captain would have money to pay his debts?” The inspector nodded. “Which amounted in all to about SSOO, more er less? 11- " The inspector nodded again. “And lie drew out of the bank $.”,750. Was that the whole legacy?” “It was,” --.--7-- . 1 r-‘" “He didn’t want $0,750 to pav $.500, did he?" This was a new light to the inspector, who shook his head cautiously. “From whom did the order to pay the

money come?” ! “Colcz, (iarcia & Co.” “Colez, (iarcia & C 0.,” repeated salegria, referring to his note hook; “the great American traders.” “And you suspect no one?” “No one except the man who passed the note.” The detective and the inspector entered the house. After looking over the kitchen and buxom widow’s bedroom without making any discovery, the two went to the captain’s bedroom. Everything of moment was carefully examined. A pair of boots lying in the corner of the room finally attracted the detective’s attention. Something in the lining of one of them seemed to interest him, for lie again referred to his pocket-book. Having finished his examination of the bedroom the detective went down-stairs, faking one of the hoots with him and inspecting each stair as he descended. These were apparently more satisfactory, for his smile brightened considerably, and after he had been shown the traces of blood along the floor of the sittingroom it. had expanded into a broad grin. He walked to the table, and turned over the books and papers till he found some sheets of blotting-paper. These lie examined attentively, holding them up to the light and turning them in evenpossible direction. The result seemed to. be satisfactory, for he pocketed tltem. “And now about this captain,” said the detect!vo, choosing the dearest footprint lie could find in the soft mud, and pulling the boot out of his pocket. “His name is Rodriquez, von say. What is he eajdainof? 1 ’ —=—• ;/■• - - “Nothing that I know of, hut they do say that he has been a captain in the China trade.” “What sort of a man is lie?” “Tall, spare-built, about 40, gray hair, and no whiskers.’’

“Deep cut over the right eyebrow,” added the detective,, quietly, as lie stopped and fitted the boot which he had taken from the captain’s room into the impression in tl\e mud. “Yes,” said the Inspector, puzzled at the detective’s knowledge. “lie never wciiLbvthat name Imre-slid he?” asked the detective handing thn boot to the detective, on the lining of wjiieh was written “A. Perez,” “Never?’ „— >—-—■ He was getting more and more puzMed. - • v “Perez, alias Cavy, alias Delgardo, and now alias Rodriquez; I’ve wanted hiin these three years,” said the detective; cheerfully. “I’ve got him now.” "Yes,” said the inspector, grimly, “he's safe enough over there." “An he jerketThis hand toward the river.

“Bless you? ’ said the detective, "he’s n core f- America by this time. He’ll die in his boots or with the rope around his mvk yet. Don't you see the fellow has murdered himself and bolted with the swag? When 1 found that boot I thought how it was, and this settled it,” said the detective? pulling the sheets of blotting paper out of, his pocket and holding them to the Inspector. There, all Over them, were the words Golez, Garcia & Go., in a neat, clerk-like hand, with that peculiar flourish at the end which these who-had dealings with that eminent house knew so well. “That letter to the village bank, is a forgery; it’s not the first time he has served Golez, Garcia A Co., this trick. He was in their American house five years: came to them with a forged character, to the tune of $22,000 and bolted. He's been smuggling and thieving all over the world since then.

TALKS TO THE PEOPLE.

THE IIECORD OP A REFORMER. The question of civil service reform is notjoow so l prominent as it was four years ago. Then, we were assured that dhe Government was going to everlasting smash in. that ponnection, and that Mr. ClevelamMais the man specially raised up to prevent the catastrophe. Now, we hear very little about- the mattet, and Mr. Cleveland seems to rest content upon the record lie has made as an enemy of the spoils system. That record is one of the things by which his sincerity is to be; tested and hik usefulness determined; and it is therefore worth looking at. Fortunately, the facts have all been collected and certified by the New York Union League Club. They show that of the 56,134 officers subject to Executive appointment, 42,‘JH2 were changed during the first two years and four months of his term; and it is fair to assume that the changes since made have very nearly covered the entire list. That these changes were necessary, nobody believes; that they have not improved the character of the service, everybody well knows. They simply imply so many experienced Republicans removed because they were Republicans and so., many inexperienced Democrats appointed because they were Democrats. A few instances are given of the sort of men who have thus been selected for reforiliatorV purposes: The statement & fully warranted by the record, that of the first seven Territorial Judges named by him, five within a week were publicly named as “morally and professionally unfit,” and three of the five have since been retired for misconduct. A list of objectionable appointments made during the first half qf the Presidential term showed that fifty-nine have been convicted or indicted for various crimes—ten have been concerned in political crimes, three deserters and one expelled from the United States Senate, three disqualified from office for violalation of oaths, three the tools of persons so disreputable that they could not hold office, and six more, of whom three were appointed to enforce the internal revenue laws, were either themselves liquor sellers or attorneys of liquor sellers. To these are to be added sixtv-one notorious political hacks.

This is very interesting reading for those who supported Mr. Cleveland in 1884 upon an express pledge from him, several times repeated, that he would reform the civil service according to definite rules of personal capacity and fitness, and regardless of all partisan considerations. They can see at a glance that lje has systematically violated that promise, while pretending to be bound by if. The theory that he has done the best he could, considering the circumstances, is fallacious and dishonest. He was not obliged to make all these changes. The matter was in his own hands, and he deliberately favored the spoils-seekers when he had solemnly agreed to resist their demands ami ■frustrate their designs. He knew what the circumstances would be when he made the pledge which gained him the votes of the civil service, reformers. There was nothing said at that time about doing the best that his party would allow him to do; and it is too late now to offer such an excuse for his notorious failure in the ease. He stands condemned by the.official facts as a deliberate hypocrite ancHt disguised enemy of the cause to which lie professed so much devotion. Will the voters whom he has thus betrayed give him another chance to i>lav them false'. 1 If-t'iiev'liava-micyi-an intention, then they are not less culpable than he is; and their boasted anxiety for reform, is only a mask to conceal their alliance with the Democratic party.

MR. BLAIXE’s VIEW OF THE SITUATION. “Republican victory, the prospects of which grow brighter every day,. can , be imperiled only by a lack of unity, or by acrimonioiis contest over men,” says Mr. Blaine in his Paris letter. This may be regarded as an acknowledgment on his part that his candidacy would inevitably lesson the chances of Republican success; and the admission does credit t* his intelligence, as his withdrawal does credit to his patriotism. With all his popularity, it would be impossible for him to poll the full vote of the party—and without the full vote of the party no man can be elected. That is the simple truth about the situation. There was a time when the Republican majority was so large and party discipline so strict that victory could be achieved in spite of dissatisfaction over,candidates, but that time has gone by. It is necessary now to £ake account of protests that are made bv any considerable contingent of the party, no matter what may be thought as to their justice and propriety. The objections to Mr. Blaine may be entirely unsound and unreasonable in the opinion of his friends; but they exist nevertheless, and they are entertained by a sufficient number of voters to his defeat if he should be nominated. Such is clearly the view that he takes of the matter:-ami sn 1 1 lere i; T) f- r consistent.patriot-hut to withdraw from the race and let some mail be chosen whu-can t%Bftnand Lheuiyted and zealous support of the party. There is nothing more certain than "[BafTEeTJe mocratic party can lie beaten Ahis-yew; —But to accomplish that result every Republican vote will be needed. i JKXt ..fc-***■* rutjtti «Mt Ino excuse for taking risks that can be

the case,and done it graciously and deliberately. His friepds are no longer desired to advocate his claims, but to exert their influence in favor of a candidate whose nomination will satisfy all wings and factions of the party,and thus insure success. It can not be doubted that sueh a man can be found. The party is well sup: plied with capable and worthy statesmen, and among the number there must surely be one,at least, whom the whole mass of Republican voters can wofk for in’a willing and resolute manner. To find the man who, all things considered, can be expected to poll the most votes, is the task presented to the Chicago Convention. Mr. Blaine is not that man, he frankly concedes; and no pretext is left for any further consideration of his name in that relation. $0 far as he is concerned, the field is clear of complication and embarrassment. , The convention can approach the subject the same as if he had never been spoken of for President, and yet with the assurance that its choice will receive his indorsement as a Republican who is willing to renounce personal ambition and leadership in the interest of party harmony and success. That is the interpretation to be put upon his Paris letter. There are those, of course, who will still insist that he does not mean what he says, land that he is meditating some dramatic surprise of trickery and selfishness; but it is much easier and more rational to credit him with honest motives, and to recognize the--force of liis observations regarding the conditions of victory and the dangers to be avoided if we do not wish the next election to be a repetition oi the last one in disappointment and disaster.

A TENDER SCENE.

The Little Orphan Had No- Mother to Confirm Her With a Blessing. Bt. Liuis Post Dispatch. Never has there been a tenderer scene witnessed in a church than that which reddened the eyes of the congregation of Sliaare Emeth, yesterday, during the Shabuoth confirmation of children. It was not from’the sensitive hearts of women only that tears welled up. In the pews were stern merchants and callous lawyers whose eyes hadn’t been wet for many a year, but they all paid the tribute of tears to the pathos of the occasion. To the Jew there is nothing more sacred than the home, and to him, as to Dickens, children are the “idols of hearts and of households.” So the confirmation of the young is always full of interest.

The old custom in the temple lias been for the rabbi to spread his hands above the childrens’ heads, and thus bestow his" blessing. Yesterday Rabbi Sale made a touching change. When, the time came for the blessing he spoke to Yhe- ehildrcn of the value of parents’ love, and the beauty of filial affection. He then told them to go to their parents in their pews and get their blessing. The little ones were nearly all in tears and as they brushed them from their faces some of the drops fell like dew upon the flowers and ferns which nearly hid them from sight. All the class went toward their parents. All? All but one. She was a little orphan and she had no place to go. So, when all the others had gone, she stood there alone and motherless, her little eyes looking about for some one to give her a blessing. The rabbi realized the situation in a moment, and took the child in his arms. In a few eloquent words lie called the congre--gaHotFaattention to hor lonely condltß?ll7 and how she rested upon the fatherhood of God. The child had a face like an angel, as if chiseled for such a scene. Above her golden hair the rabbi raised his hands, and in silence let them rest in benediction. Then he dismissed her,and as she passed down the broad aisle to a seat she walked as through an avenue of tear-stained handkerchiefs that fluttered on everv side.

A Bird from Over the Sea.

As Mr. Pride was attending to some matters connected with.the electric light across the river, says the Idaho States® man, he saw a large white bird, larger than a swan, circling overhead. -Mr. Pride watched the bird until it alighted in the pond near by, when he telephoned to John Ridenbaugh to bring his gun and come over. The bird swam round and round in the pond, Mr. Pride’s excitement growing more intense all the the time, fearing that the game would fly away before John would get there, but John soon put in appearance and shot the bird. It proved to be a species of Mediterranean pelican, such as so far as is known has never been seen in this country before. Its plumage is white as snow, the wings tipped with black, and it lias a long, arching neck like a swan; a bill nearly a foot in length, and on the under part a narrow pouch in which the bird carries its food and water, thus enabling it to make extensive flights across barren wastes-and over lofty mountatHS.It measures nearly nine feet from tip to tip-- - - * ’

THE FARM HOME.

SMALL FLOCKS OF SHEEP. It is a wholesome caution to lie moderate, at least,, in beginning with sheep. Small flocks always do best. jSheep are apt to huddle together, and if foot rot or other disease breaks out it •will quickly spread through the entire flock. SOURED MILK AH FEED. Many .people can safely drink sour milk, w hile their stomkehs are too weak to digest that which is still sweet. This is trtie of animals. 7 The calf put upon a diet of slightjy soured milk may scour, but it is usually not from the sourness of the milk, but from its lower temperature,. A pailful or half full of cold, sour liiilk chills the digestive organs, diarrluea is the only way in which the stomach can dispose of its incubus. THINNING APPLES. It is easily possible in seasons of abundant blossoming for one-half the set of fruit to make more bulk of apples than the whole. The codling moth thins, and usually too much, but does not do it the right way. The apples are half or twothirds grown before they drop and fall. The true way is to spray the tree with Paris green to destroy the worm, and then hand pick the fruit before it forms seeds, and thus exhausts the vitality of the. tree.

FEET pF WESTERN HORSES. A horse dealer remarked not long ago that he did not like to deal in Ohio bred horses, because most of them had feet easily lamed. He attributed it to the soft dirt roads on which, out side the cities, the horses of that State mostly travel. Their feet do not become accustomed to hard roads while young. Kentucky is only across the river from Ohio, but it has excellent hard roads on all the chief thoroughfares, and on these its fine trotters get the practice that makes them excel. FRESH EGGS FOR SETTING. When setting eggs from one’s own stock it is better to use those laid the same day, and if put under the setting hen w hile still warm it will be all the better. In early spring eggs are often chilled to their injury, and some of them addled when set, because of this. Placing them in pans or on plates in cold rooms is wrong. If a setting hen is not ready, lay the eggs on a piece of flannel in a moderately warm place, and at night cover them with another piece of flannel. If those who sell eggs for hatching would use this precaution they might have fewer complaints early in the season. WHOLE GRAIN FOR SMALL CHICKENS. Much of the feeding of chickens is of soft food. It is easily picked by the lit—tlefellows, and they can quickly "111!" their crops from a dab of wet meal thrown on the ground before them. This too rapid eating is one of the worst evils in artificial feeding of young chickens. They gorge themselves, become surfeited and die. We have found whole wheat grain much better, beginning for two or three days by breaking the grain in two pieces. It does not matter, however, if the little fellow is forced to do this work himself. He will struggle with a wheat or oat grain two or three minutes, and at last, after a desperate struggle, swallow it. The very hardness of the whole grain keeps his food from compacting in his crop. We w'ould not, however, feed whole corn to very young chicks, nor indeed corn ground into meal asdlieir principal diet. - ;

GRAIN TO COWS AT PASTURE. If a cow is at all fit for the dairy.she will bear good feeding with grain any time after her calf is a week old, and she shows no symptoms of fever or caked bag. Grain is especially needful after she is turned out to pasture. The succulent grass stimulates a large flow of milk, but th£re is little jsdbstance in it. The cow must furnish the fat from herself to make the milk rich enough. A really good cow will not fatten, no matter how highly she is fed dttrihg the first flow of milk, but it may make her yield so largely as to require that her milk be drawn three times in twentyfour hours. This is often done with high feci cows, though it is extremely exhaustive to milk if a cow is poorly fed.

THE STOLEN PUMPKIN CROP. We have pretty steadily maintained that nobody ever gained anything by stealing, even if it was only a crop of pumpkins among his corn. It is a quite common practice, and an Ohio man writes that where he grows the most pumpkins his corn is also the best. This has not been our experience. In the best years for corn the pumpkin crop never amounted to much. But doubtless something depends on methods of cultivation. Our practice hits been to till shallow all through the season. With this the late cultivation is almost always a benefit. But in places where severe droughts abound, and a big plow is run deeply between the rows as the only means of cultivating the crop, it may easily be an advantage to have pumpkins dr something else in the way to keep the plow out of the field. In that case the fields where the pumpkin vines were plentiful-might have the fewest corn-; mots destroyed. scatteriS’g manure is barnyards. We-Bssmne t-he Imlk of -Wrirterrnade manitre in the barnyard lias been drawn out? Butnvheye teams are hurried toward “orTessmanure that can not well Be got on the wagons. This should be scraped into heaps, if possible under shelter.

Left expoped through the summer, scattered over the yard, little of it can b* collected by Fall, and that little will not have much value. If the manure is fine enough, as the scatterings often are, it maybe drawn after Spring plowing is finished, as a top dressing for the meadows.’ The grass will shade it from the sun, and the manure will keep the ground under it moist and rich. None of it will be in the way by the time the grass is cut, as it will be washed down by rains and decayed by contact .with the soil. now DRAIN I N(J WARMS SOIL. It is the loss of heat by evaporation that makes wet soil always cold. This' evaporation goes on faster when the sun shines and warm winds are blowing, and thus neutralizes their warming effects. A man wrapped in woolen thoroughly saturated with water will chill none the less quickly for being placed in sunshine or in a draft of warm air. Many people have lost their lives from not'understanding this fact. A man exposed to rain all day is often less likely to take cold than one who merely gets wet and then dries suddenly by the warmth from his body causing evaporation. This "process of evaporation cools the soil in just the same way, only fortunately the clods are insensible to the cold. But seeds and the plants are not thus insensate, ft makes a great deal of difference to their growth whether water in the soil is evaporating from the surface, or is sinking down through drains followed by currents of warmer spring air.

FROFIT FROM DAIRY COWS. It is a pretty good native cow that will make 500 pounds of butter a year, averaging seven pounds a week for nearly ten months of that time. If the butter can be sold for twenty cents per pound it gives a larger average profit per acre for the land required to keep, the cow than can be got from grain growing at present prices. If three acres are required to feed a cow through the year, this is S2O an acre profit, leaving skim-milk for the pigs and manure from the cow to pay for the labor. But there are ways to greatly increase this profit. With fodder corn as a basis of the ration and the purchase of wheat bran, eormneal and other meals as accessories, a cow may be kept most of the year on a little more than an acre. Better still, by the addition of improved blood the cow may be bred to produce much more of both milk and butter per year. Examine closely the records of milk butter of the. Holstein-Friesian stock, and determine if this be not the true road to success.

NPIU NO SNOWS. When snow falls in the spring, delaying plowing and seeding, it is not an unjnixed evil. Ills popularly called “the poor farmer’s manure?’ The general notion among farmers is that it absorbs considerable amounts of ammonia from the air. Being porous it does probably absorb more than rain, though all the latter must have first passed through the lower air to the clouds as steam or insensible evaporation. A very little ammonia where the roots of plants can get at it has a wonderfully stimulating effect. But the greatest advantage of these spring snows lies in the fact that they fall as a mantle on the sdflj .without* packing it as the same amount of water in drops of rain would do. On ground that has been disturbed this spring a light fall of snow under an April sun melts by noon, and before night the surface seems nearly as dry as before it fell. If a. field has been plowed through several days it should generally be left in the furrow until it is ready for seeding. After dragging down smooth, if either heavy rains or snows come, the soil will be unfit to work for several days.

Healthy Effect of Onions. Good Housekeeping.

It.is a pity that onions have the odor that they do, for their dietetic and medicinal qualities are excellent. Boiled and roasted onions are a good specific, for cold on the chest, a cough, a cold and a clogging of the bronchial tubes. A medical writer recommends the eating of young, raw onions by children three or four times a week, and of boiled and roasted onions when they get too strong to be eaten raw. Another writer says that “during unhealthy seasons, when diphtheria and like contagious diseases prevail, onions ought to be eaten in the spring of the year at least once a week.” The effect of onions is invigorating and prophylactic in the extreme, and one physician goes so far as to say that the eating of onions lias actually prevented children from having diphtheria and scarlatina.
