Mine Swindled by an Adventuress

The latest gentleman who allowed Cupid to nestle in his heart is a rough, redKB■WWBtfffsfe cognomen of WlUlsm Cute. He was confiding and free fcom gulte; he did not f&mbleior sport; he wanted a housepersonal advertisemeht*, WBB taken in and done for. ManyamM hafi bofn egregiously swindle! hVV«itfldiAg ; in-.«uch adyertfcements, but; Will lam cWAs. not looking out for frault and tlierefore walked unhesitatingly into the meshes of the small adverlike a miner scorned, and if silver was not selling at a heavy discount, It is extremely probable that Han Francisco would be the scene of another startling, tragedy, and that the victirf-WmlT WF». jW woman who Mr. Cub..* a young man, or rhelMcnSTy cast or countenance, has a silver mine and a gold mine to pay for working it and a house with no one but himself in it. His intentions were honorable; he did not part liis hair in the middle, and when he read small advertisements and bachelor’s home bright with her bewitching smiles, he sat down, took his pen in hand and wrote her a busi-ness-like letter. That he addressed her “ Deer Miss,” and spelled come “ kum,” was nothing against him, for his early education had been sadly neglected, ana hi 9 but' honest. His "surkbu stances,” he said, were favorable,'and the envy alike of j-cuihg ladies and their designing mammas in bus vicinity r%tt* CQula bave everything her own “ weigh** mhis house-all lie desired was a lady,who cqqfcl make him happy. The whsti&ropintoti was after she had engagedjA.ifhuiographical jateijpjeter to IranidjMbit fob her, be known, n i r i ij£iirhint m psrts unknown. She wasnard up forcash and spun a web. The first introduction will be found in the following extracts from her letter in reply to his offer of engagement as house-keeper: I like your manner of writing the heat Of any of th*m, for you tell me Just what you wisljj and, as you describe yourself, I Bhotffajndgeyou were justothe person that I could get along with, and I do hope you really mean what you say. As for myself, I am twenty-two years old, passably goodlooking, very healthy, and, they say, of excellent temper. There was a man called to see me yesterday who wished me to keep house for him in Oroville. He. offered me money to take my trunks arid sewing-ma-chiite Out of thfe pfiwu office—you see how I am reduced in circumstances—-but I know several jparsona who are acquainted with hinrfjmrwe lla? the reputation of being a perfect tyrant aA<Cscold, so JL thought It bast to decline. When William commenced to read her letter he was too full for utterance, and when he finished his great heart bled for the i«»jj girl “<JC. L.,” she bad signed herjsStrsmd be 1 dropped a tear on his shirt-front. Any disinclination he might have had to fly to her rescue was dissipated by the little postscript that followed the text: Please excuse my writing on only half a sheet, but mv poor, little purse will hardly Francisco Immediately. Then his heart went out in tke nib of his pen. He called ber “ poor deer,” and as he thought of the designing tyrant who wanted to carry her away to Oroville, and her sweet little promises to make him as happy as a clam, he grew wild, and viciously chMfed at the end Of a fresh navy plug. He tofored to divide the silver mine with her, snatch the sewing machine and trunks frotftfche fraudulent grasp of the pawnbnthar, take her to h;s heart and make her Mrs. Cute, and, finally, to attest his overflowing aflection, sent her his photograph. The grammatical and orthographhal construction of this letter was quitffai as its predecessor, but,Srvtaa true, ana he loved.

Other correspondence followed, and the miner was induced to make further remittances. She always replied, and after receiving one letter’Mr. Cute was in perfect ecstacies, when he noticed that across one corner of the pearly paper she had^Jitlep.What a cute name you haw?” he swore she was a trump, and shouldTfe hiS ; and when, a few days after, he received an envelope inclosing a tintype of the beautiful Ella, arrayed in her nut-brown curling locks, with two little beau-catchers trailing down her forehead and her jewelry ostentatiously displayed, she went out and took four flng«p*'straight. Ha answered her letter verjtv Cratlwfy, ‘■wowing eternal fidelity and tendering unlimited coin.

Yesterday, you Day. Well, I was sitting in she parlor alone, thinking of you, when the door-bell rang and a gentleman inquired for me. He came in and presented me with a bouquet Now, don’t be a particle lealous (Mr. Cute was getting decidedly jealous, however)—l have met him but once before, i thanked him very kindly, and at jji he what was most particularly of sweet williams. “Dear Billy” was so touched by the pathetic appeal for gold coin that, rather than his prospective “wifey ” should suffer for anything he immediately sent her S4OO more. Up to this time Mr. Cute had never-dreamed but that his unknown what she represented herSKf id Is/ 80 Confiding was he that he had never asked for her residence—not**m”for references. After the money waMift he sat down in rapture and 111 asked hui fui hei " pichute,” called her his own darling one, and longed to clasp her to his breast. Her next letter lovinjkftpnfqrnted him that site had expendfomll mst'money, ana wanted just |l(hl «shra,ending with' the following gushing assurance: Let me whisper something, and this is only for your ear.

The poor miner could hardly understand it at first, but after soma studv conceived that he had been the victim of cruel deception. He had suffered wofully in feelings and in purse, and he transmitted the voluminous correspondence to the chief of police, with a request to hunt tine “ahe-dbvil” up and wring his coin from her. * The chief is still engaged in that mission. The adventuress is evidently an old hand at the business.—San Francitco Ckronido.

Terrible Effects or a Nitro-Glycerlne Explosion.

The village of Sing Sing was thrown into a state of great excitement, yesterday noon, by an explosion of nltro-glycerine that shook the earth for a mile around like an earthquake, made houses tremble, felled to the ground several persons ana horses, stunned a child so that her recovery is doubtful, and blew an unfortunate laborer literally to pieces. The accident occurred at half-past twelve o’clock, in the yard of Henry Ludwich, on Croton avenue, and in fifteen minutes afterward the neighborhood was alive with an excited crowd, eager to learn the cause of the terrible explosion. A horrifying spectacle was presented. The leafless branches of the trees surrounding the premises were covered with pieces of quivering flesh, the walls of the cottage near by bespattered with blood, and along the snow-covered ground for a distance of a quarter of a mile could be seen portions of a human body. A piece of the skull was found imbedded in the framework of a cottage, a foot was discovered in a tree 150 yards distant, a piece of an arm was found on the roof of a dwelling a block away, and a part of the face wrapped in a piece of clotted hair, was found on a tree in an orchard 200 feet away. The largest piece of the body found weighed but five pounds. About 100 windows in the Methodist Church were broken, as were also several windows in houses on the same avenue. The only person killed was the unfortunate Ludwich. He was a laborer bv occupation, and occasionally did odd jobs at blasting. Eighteen months ago he buried in his yard to the depth of two feet a can of nltro-glycerine, covering it over with a board which he concealed from sight by a few shovelfuls of dirt. The instrument of death lay undisturbed until Monday last, when he unearthed it and chiseled out- the nitro-glycerine being frozen —a small portion which he wished to use in blasting rocks for Henry J. Baker. He then covered it up again as before. On Wednesday he took out another quantity. Yesterday noon he returned from work and asked his wife to get him a kettleful of hot water, as the ground was frozen and he wanted more of the explosive. She procured the water, and he went into the yard and began digging. Within a few minutes the explosion took place. Coroner Forshay, of Peekskill, arrived on the scene late in the afternoon and impaneled a jury. The wife of the deceased and his father-in-law, John Schnortz, testified, and admitted having known that the nitro-glycerine was in the yard. The jury returned a yerdict in accordance with the facts and censured those having knowledge of the explosive being within the village limits for not notifying the authorities. Three pailfuls of the remains of the illfated man were picked up by the neighbors, and the search was continued up to dark. The deceased was thirty-five years of age, and a native of Germany. He was generally noted as a sober, industrious man. He leaves a wife and two children. — N. T. Herald , Jan. 19.

Was Farragat Lashed to the Rigging?

A writer in Scribner for February* who was an eye-witness of the battle in Mobile Bay, takes the negative of the above question. We quote a part of the account: When the fleet had crossed the bar and was inside of Sand Island, and had approached to within about one mile and a quarter of Fort Morgan, Admiral Farragut coollv and deliberately ascended the starboard main rigging and halted just beneath the top. Passing his arm up through the “lubber’s holo,” he seized the foot of the pilot, Martin Freeman by name, who was standing in the maintop giving orders to the helmsman. The signal quartermaster, in obedience to the orders of Capt. Drayton, took up a ham-mock-lashing to secure the Admiral to the shrouds, so that in case he should be killed, his body would not fall overboard or on the deck; but, by Freeman’s advice, the Admiral would not allow it to be passed around him. The quartermaster returned with his lashing to the deck; and Farragut, the brave, passed the long line of torpedoes and the Confederate forts and fleet unscathed—while still clinging to the foot of his trusty old pilot, Martin Freeman. This is the truth which the historian should receive and record, if he chooses to make note of what wps but au incident in that terrible action. Many survivors of that day will vouch for the above account. As for Martin Freeman, he still lives in the immediate vicinity of the bay where the battle was fought—being the principal keeper of Horn Island Light-House, in Mississippi Sound. Should any one chance to question this writer’s assertion in regard to the above matter, ho is respectfully referred to Mr. Freeman, who was probably better acquainted, at the time, with the movements of Admiral Farragut than any other individual in the fleet—Capt. Fercival Drayton, perhaps, excepted—and he is known as the heroic and loyal son of South Carolina, and fleet-captaia of the West Gulf Squadron. The philosophy of Admiral Farragut’s chosen position is easily explained. During the noise of the battle, he naturally desired to bo so statioaod that when no human voice could be heard aloft, should it be necessary for him to communicate with the pilot, by tightly griping thp foot of that person the signal would be noticed; and, as a fact, Mr. Freeman did respond, and, by bending down, lent his ear to the “lubbers’ hole” for such orders as the Admiral wished to givo him. Thebe have been many reasons given for the present business depression existing in a large portion of the world, but the latest is founded on the Suez Canal. This idea was first promulgated by the London Beonomiet. According to that paper, the opening of this canal has diverted from employment about 2,000,000 sailing tonnage and established steam tonnage, shortened the time for bperati’ona In India produce In Europe to the extent of five-sixths, obviated the necessity of accumulating and carrying large stocks in Europe—or, to sum up, it has rendered unnecessary a large and costly amountel the old machinery of an important branch of the world’s trade—warehouses, sailing vessels, capital, six months’ bills, and the merchant himself with his large retinue of employes—and has paused immense losses, mischief and confusion.

Bake in a puff paste. —Ginger Bnaps.—One cup of New Orleans molasses, one cup of sugar, one cup of butter, one large spoonful of soda dissolved in a little boiling water, two spoonfuls cinnamon, one of ginger. Roll as Btiff as possible with flour; cut thin and bake in a quick oven. There are no better ginger snaps than these. —Cream Pie. —Two eggs, one spoonful of butter, three spoonfuls of flour, four of sugar, a little salt, lemon flavor; boil one pint of milk and stir in the other ingredients, well beaten together. Bake in a good crust. This makes one pie. tiso cornstarch instead of flour, if you have it. It is richer for sauces, or pies or creams than flour. —Exhibition Pudding.—Take half a pound of mutton suet, chopped very finely, half a pound of raisins, seeded, four large tablespoonfuls of flour, four spoonfuls sugar, the grated peel of two lemons, half a nutmeg ana six eggs. Mix all together and steam in a mold* for four honrs. Serve with sauce. This is a new pudding and is delicious. —ln a state of nature the horse is almost constantly feeding. He bites short, but not hurriedly or ravenously. The stomach is single and of moderate size; digestion is almost continually going on, the food passing out at one orifice while it is coming in at the other. The supply of bile is constant, there being no gallbladder or reservoir for it. But while the stomach is small, the large intestines are prodigious. —Detroit Tribune. —Muffins. —One quart of milk, oue .egg, a little salt, half a cup of yeast, a tablespoonful of melted butter; flour to make a thick batter; to be made late in the evening and stand all night for breakfast, or, if you wish them fer tea, mix them at noon and keep the pan in a warm Slace, and they will rise in a few hours. [eat the griddle, then butter it and the muffin-rings; put the latter upon the griddle and pour in the batter; turn them once only. —— —Small pots give flowers, but the Slants have feeble constitutions and gelom bloom the second time. Plants from greenhouses seldom do well with the keeper of house plants. They are taken out of a very different atmosphere from that of the living-room to which they are brought. The change experienced in transportation is quite abrupt, and when they are placed in the room they are to occupy they need especial care for some time in keeping them warm and moist. —Detroit Tribune.

Horses and Mules Eating Dirt.

Most commonly the habit is an indication of acidity of the stomach and to be corrected by improving the digestive functions. Horses are at a special disadvantage in the matter of stomach complaints, inasmuch as they cannot rid themselves by vomhing of anything that disagrees, and are unable even to belch up accumulated gas. Then the stomach is much too small to allow of heavy feeding or the formation of much gas without injurious over-distension; hence, of all domestic animals, the solipeds should be fed with the greatest tare and judgment. Like human beings, they Lave their periods of acidity or heartburn, and, having no opportunity of taking soda or magnesia, they lick the lime from their walls or the earth from their pathway. For temporary relief'a piece of chalk may be kept in the manger, but we should seek to remove the radical evil by giving a better tone to the stomach. Feed sound grain and hay in moderate amount and at regulur intervals, and drive or work hard for an hour after each meal lest digestion should be impaired. Give a few carrots, turnips or other roots, if available; water regularly, and never just after a meal, and put an ounce of common salt in the food or water daily. Any existing weakness of digest tion should be corrected by a course of tonics, such as oxide of iron, two ounces; calcined magnesia, two our.ces; powdered' nux vomica, one and a half drachms; powdered fennell seed,two ounces; mix. Divide into eight powders, and give one morning and night. The habit has been sometimes caused by a deficiency of mineral matter in the food grown on very poor soil, but this may be corrected by a similar treatment. — N. T. Tribune.

Fanning as a Vocation.

Take a young man with a good constitution, moderate strength, with fair mental abilities—properly educated—morally, intellectually ind physically, and with an inheritance of SIO,OOO. He invests s7,ooo—stock, implements, etc.-Mhe other SB,OOO at interest, well secured. He commences farming at twenty-one years of age, and invests S2OO each year above a comfortable support from bis farm—compound the interest every six months, if you choose, but say yearly, make your calculation, and at fifty years old (still in the prime of life) he is certainly rich. We gave SIO,OOO to start on; give the merchant the same, and fifty per cent, fall short of wealth or fail! Let ua start the same for-men at twenty one years of age without any money—it is his misfortune' (but not disgrace) to have to hire as a farm-hand—we take it for granted such a man would make the best possible farm-hand, and would get the highest wages. By strict economy lie would invest $l5O of hisVages each year. (Such “strict economy” would, be very hard to practice in these fast days of luxury, fashion, extravagance and impatience of wealth; but it oan be done, and there are hundreds of thousands who would be happier if they practiced it.) Now let us see how long before he could buy a farm. In ten years he will have accumulated, at compound interest, $2,887.50, so that when ho has seen fifty winters he is an independent farmer, and may be esteemed one of the country’s best citizens. There is no class of business men which enjoys near so many privileges as the farmer; although he has been so constantly from youth up in the practice of the many privileges that he often does not appreciate- them. - An established farmer, with a moderate income besides his farm, has more privi leges and comforts than one of any other class of business with many times his wealth. He need not labor unless he chooses—he can leave his business for a

Journey of a few days many times in the year; he has his horses and carriage to iride when and where he wishes; his surroundings afford him all the comforts of life; Ml table is loaded with the beet the country affords; he can receive and entertain hiß friends at almost all times; he has a good library at profitable books and time to read them. Now, let us ask, is there any other business man, who has to labor at or conduct his profession, who has a tithe of the privileges of the farmer? The lawer must be at kb office to see to his cases and relieve the minds of distressed clients, who at any time may step in. The doctor is sorry to leave his friends, who get to see him so seldom, but he has some patients several miles away who greatly need his skill, and be never has an hour, night or day, he can call his own. The merchant hurries through his meals to get to the store, where he nas only time to occasionally smile on his friends, and utter a few words of kindness; and, if a townsman, perhaps not out of the city for years. These same comparisons pretty much hold good with nearly all vocations. — Cor. Rural World.

Precautions Against Scarlet Fever.

The Boston Board of Health has sent a copy of the following to every householder in that city: “The Board of Health issues the following circular of recommendation with the hope that those not familiar with the care of scarlet, fever may be benefited thereby. Scarlet fever is like smallpox in its power to spread readily from person to person. It is highly contagious. The disease shows its first sigu in about one week after exposure, as a general rule, and persons who escape the illness during a fortnight after exposure may feel themselves safe from attack. Scarlet fever, scarlatina, canker rash and rash fever are names of one and the same dangerous disease. When a case of scarlet fever occurs in any family the sick person should be placed in a room apart from the other inmates of the house, and should be nursed as far as possible by one person only. The sick chamber should be well-wanned, exposed to sunlight and well aired. Its furniture should be such as would permit of cleansing without injury, and all extra articles, such as ‘window drapery and woollen carpsts, should be removed from the room during the sickness. The family should not mingle with other people. Visitors to an infected house should be warned of the presence of a dangerous disease therein, and children especially should not be admitted. “On recovery the sick person should not mingle with the well until the roughness of the skin, due to the disease, shall have disappeared. A month is considered an average period during which isolation is needed. The clothing, before being worn or used by the patient or the nursed should be cleansed by boiling for at least one hour, or, if that cannot be done, by free and prolonged exposure to outdoor air and sunlight. The walls of the room should be dry-rubbed and!he cloths used for the purpose should be burned without previous shaking. The ceiling should be scraped and whitened; the floor should be washed with soap and water, and carbolic acid nlay be added to the water (one pint to three or four gallons). The infected clothing should be cleansed by itself and not sent to the laundry. “ In case of death from scarlet fever the funeral services should be strictly private, and the corpse should not be exposed to view. Because children are especially liable to take and to spread* scarlet fever, mid because schools afford a free opportunity for this, the Board of Health has excluded from school every child from any family in which a case of the disease has occurred, and has decreed that the ab-> sence shall continue four weeks from the beginning of the attack, except in cases subject to the discretion of the Board.” The Suez Canal is proving successfu as a financial venture. The profits for 1876 are estimated at $5,000,000. A little more than one-half of this is required for interest on the debt of the company, leaving nearly $2,500,000 for dividends.

Relief Without a Doctor.

Though we would by no means be understood as deprecating, but rather as recommending, professional aid In disease, there are multitudes of Instances when it is neither necessary or easy to obtain. A family provided with a comprehensive household specific like Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, is possessed of a medicinal resource adequate to most emergencies in which medieal advice would be otherwise needful. That sterling tonic and corrective Invariably remedies, arid is authoritatively i ccommcndcd for deoillty, Indigestion, liver disorder, an irregular habit of body, urinary and uterine troubles, incipient rheumatism and gout, and many Other ailments of frequent occurrence. It eradicates and prevents intermittent and remittent fevers, relieves mental despondency, checks premature decay, and invigorates the nervous and muscular tissues. Sleep, digestion and appetite are promoted by it, and it is extremely useful in overcoming the effects of exhaustion and exposure.

Why Advertise?

People sometimes ask why does Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y.,- spend so much money in advertising his family medicines, which are so well known and surpass all other remedies in popularity and safe. It is well known that A. T. Stewart considered it good policy, and undoubtedly it paid him, to spend many hundred thousand dollars in advertising his goods, yet nobody questioned the excellence of his merchandise. The grand secret of success lies in offering only goods which possess merit to sustain themselves, and then through liberal and persistent advertising making the people thoroughly acquainted with their good qualities. Men do not succeed In amassing great fortunes, establishing thriving and permanent business, and founding substantial institutions like Dr. Pierce’s Grand Invalids’ Hotel at Buffalo, which cost over two hundred thousand dollars, unless their business be legitimate, ineir goods meritorious, and their services which they render the people genuine and valuable. Dr. Pierce does not attempt to humbug you by telling you that his Golden Medical Discovery will cure ail diseases. He says, “If your lungs are half wasted by consumption, my Discovery will not cure you, yet as a remedy for severe coughs, and all curable bronchial, throat and lung affections, I believe it to be unsurpassed as a remedy.” The people have confidence in hia medicines because he does not over-recommend them, and when tried they give satisfaction. Hia Medical Adviser, a book of over nine hundred pages, illustrated by two hundred and eighty-two engravings and bound in cloth and gilt,’is offered to the people at so moderate a price ($1.50, postpaid), that it is no wonder that almost one hundred thousand have already been sold.| H .4 memorandum books are on every druggist’s counter for free distribution.
