THE investigation into the Hull murder case iu New? York shows that neither Mrs. Hull nor Iver husband ever went into the basement of their house. Mr*. Hull was not only entirely ig icraut of what was going on down si.tjrs, bat did not know the servants. -e colored servants had more than the n^oiber of visitors usual with thatcli "help," A friend who was once tiling on MA," Hull asked her some questions aboUt her -cook. "I don't know," Mrs. Hull replied "I never saw ber." The visitor was astonished at tb'.s, and Mrs. Hull explained that when h*r old cook went away, about two weeks before, she sett artother woman to take her place, and that sinoe this c:nnge she (Mrs. Hull) had not been .* in the kitcbeu. The visitor tried .inly to Induce Mrs. Hull to go down and see what manner of woman WA?I cooking her food, but Mrs. Hull at length consented to have the cook sent f,»r, so that she might look at her up stairs. Mrs. Hull was a pronounced BP ritualist.

A PLUCKY MOHM0X IT/FE. Some of tbe Mor-uon first-wives are plucky and resolutely make no oonces•ions whatever to polygamy. Llbble Canfield, the daughter ot Pjesbvterian parents in Philadelphia, married John W. Young, iu« oldest son of Brigbam, «nd wont with him to Salt Lake, Before she consented to marry the son of the prophet she stipulated with him that she was to be his only wife and he *gre«d to this arrangement. They lived for years happily, he kept bis word,

She also fathered her nest well by securing in bfl own right a large and produotive Ufim In the vicinity of 8alt Lake City. When Brigbam faa be deJ*«ed that bia sl^aldpaka^notHer WifS.

He thus made a sacrifice of bia wife on the altar of obedience. She left him immediately, and retired to her farm with her boys, wlio remain In bfiJL, custody—.the fres wlU gift-of their father. Lately Libbie Canfield has been visiting her relatives and friends iu Philadelphia *nd Newark, N J. She is a bright and beautiful woman, fully resolved upon her course. Her husband baa never troubled her sine* they separated, good friends, and .the Mormon ohurch has kept its hands off. Y$uug Is now living In Arizona with his second wife, with whom he never appears in public. Under their mutual agreement he still evidently regards Llbble Canfield as hisonly wife, and she knows it, and pities htm rather than condemns. He is not happy, afid' can't help himself. Slle often visits her Eastern friends now, and be sends her money In esse she msy need it. She person' ally manages her farm, and bas just returned to It to superintend the shipment of wool from her thousands of sheep. She will go East again next fall, and alter the usual call upon her friends will sail for Europe to wiater.

JL MASSACH U8ETT8 CA&NIBA£ Among the human curlesities of Massachusetts is a lately discovered canni bai. He was found in the township of Otis^ounty of Berkshire lives high up in the mountains and follows the calling? of hunter and herdsman. He is about fifty years old, and somehow got the name of John Smith when he was young. He aud his French wife inhabit an old log hut in a mountain rift miles

from any other human habitation. His wife chltivates a small patch of nearly barren ground, and be herdi feattW bli tbe moutain side for the nearest fhr'm^r? and hunts and fiBhes at the &m6 time. He has an ugly habit of eatirfg hiB meat raw, and among his delioacies of diet axe fish, toads and snakes.' He' is a confessed fcannlbal, although be denies ever eating a ha man being in this country. He says he once tried to negotiate with a poor man for his daughter for table use, bul. the man, poor as he was, refused the tempting offer. He liked the girl's looks, and would have eaten her with great relish if he could have obtained the meat. He Was charged with having eaten a New Jersey man once, but this he denies. A party of curiosity hunters lately clambered up the mountain to see him, and hear what he had to say for himself. They found the wretched hovel and the brawny French wdnian at work on their patch of ground which they have rent free, on accobnt of Smith's services to the owner as herdsman. John S^lth was just returning from a fish pond with his catch, and tbe visitors went to meet him. He amused them by catching a toad that hopped across his path, and ate it with an appe tite and *elisfc. After the toad one of the party offered him a bottle of whisky to keep the toad down, and he bit off the top of the bottle and crunched that, too, according to the account. He Wis asked if he was a cannibal, and he frankly acknowledged his love of the human race in that regard, and longed to gratify his tastes, regretting that he had no opportunity. He said he was born in Rhinebeck, New York, never knew bis parents, and went to sea when he was fifteen. In the courseof his marine wanderings he was wrecked on the South Sea islauds. He bad tobacco in his pockets, and that rendered him unfit for a cannibal feast. He was spared, became a cannibal from association and finally from cultivated tastes. In tbe oonrse of years—he doesn't knew how many—he found himself a thoroughly acclimated South Sea Islander, as good as any native. When he left tbe islands after many years he brought away with b3m the cannibal's worship and appetites. He made bis own idols, and after many years wanderings he went up into the mountains of Berkshire with his wife and bis gods. Tbls was four years ago, and only lately bis habits began to attract bis attention. He built a huge idol on his mountain side which he calls "liondlsh," and regularly goes to this shrine to worship. TbrMi other smaller gods, which he had, the Christians stole from him, so he built this big deity who is too beavy for thieves to carry away. Ills religion, crude as it is, teaches: "Thou sbalt not steal," and he thinks this little bit of morals ought to be taken into the Chris tlans* creed.

LIXOOLWS HEART.

Judge Bromwell, of Denver contributes a touching reminiscence of Lincoln which illustrates his natural tenderness of heart and at the same time bis an bending rigor in the performance of what he deemed to be his duty. Tbe recital makes a picture worthy of presvation, as that of tbe old Roman father whose higher duty to his country compelled him to condemn bis son to death and sink the affectionate father in tbe Inexorable Judge. It was In Washington in March, 1865. Lincoln was talking with several friends—and among others wss Bromwell—upon decisions of lifofand death, when hsopened bis heart tbos: ^'.fT •,

NEWSPAPER correspondent recently vftited a town in Minnesota which was a total abstinence town and with dull trade. He wrote a letter to the local newspaper in which occurs this passage: ^What your town wants to insure pirosjferity is a good GermaU brewery, a wholesale liquor house and ten retail liquor houses. Then money would be plenty, and your people would prosper. Your vacant houses woultt be filled and your corner lots occupied. The farmers of your own county would patronize yqu instead of going to other towns as they ao noW. Within a hundred days a hundred respectable, public-spirited business men would be added to your number. As a general thing men are not afraid of getting drunk. Not one sober, temperanoe man in tSh thousand who has brains and money enough to do business on, but' would rather be located in a city whdre liquor Is sold freely. than a dead temperance place, It is only tbe very few weak-minded imbeciles who are eternally and forever howling about temperance.

WHY THE MINISTER ~MTS¥I,DD.

.-.f Boston Traveler. At a reoent meeting.of church officers In New Hampshire, to oonsider the causes of difference betweeu'a minister and a portion of his congregation, an »ld farmer summed sp the causes of complaint against him substantially as follows: Our pastor is very fond of music, and sometimes when traveling on his parish work, he sing* his favorite tunes, and sometimes he whistles them. Then he loves a joke, and sometimes, when one is thrown In his teeth, he oracks It, He has a good appetite, and be eats beefsteak or oodfisb.just as he pleases, without consulting his congregation. And, worst of all, he believes a minister bas political rights, and has voted as he pleased, not asking permission of anybody. All of whleh wss the nsrrator's facetious way of saying that be bad been so undignified as to whistle that he went occasionally to the nearest markst and purchased fresh meat, while his neighbors fed on salt pork or salt tUh, sad that in aolosely contested election be bad voted tbe republican ticket. i- Nf?#*"* ta PARLOR 5.-* Norrlatown Herald.

HOW A FOOL RUSHED IN. Detroit Free Press. No barber knoweth whom he may shave, and the man who rushes into a shop, drops into a barber's chair without seeing who -occupies the next chair to the right or left, may get badly left, as a case proved the other day. A solid old citizen in the wholesale trade was taking It easv, his face covered with lather, when'in came a young man who flung off his coat, bounced into a chair and called out, "Horry up, now, fori must

etback to tbe store before old Blank or he will raise thunder! Hang him, he won't even give a man time to die I" The solid old eitizen turned his face to glanoe at th&otber, and the barber noticed a reddening of the face. "Going on a vacation this summer?" asked the barber, who was preparing to shave the young man.» "Vacation! How In Tophet can I get away f*om old Blank? And If I could, he pays suci? a stingy, contemptible Saary that I couldn't afford even a ride on the ferryboat "Why don't you ask for a raise?" queried the barber. "Why don't I ask for the hand of his freckle-nosed daughter? He'd discharge me in a minute, though he's making money and can afford it, If the old hyena would have a stroke of apoplexy the junior partner might do something, but such chap3 always live to be a hundred years old." Conversation ceased here, tbe solid i*sn got out of bis chair, took a brushing and sat down, and when tbe clerk arose from his chair and turned around, snowballs would have looked black beside bia face. The barber wet the young man's head and held cologne to his nose, but he walked sideways when he went out, and there was an uncertain wobble to bis knees.

To perform this trick you take a oommon brass pin, such as a man sometimes uses to fssten bis shirt oollsr when a rear button flies off. To satisfy your audience that tbe pin doesn't contain a false bottom, let them have it in their hands to inspect This will convince them that there is no deception about it.

NOVEL USE FOR MUEDERERS.

Hew York Times.

It Is often said that hanging is tbe worst use to which a man can be put. A peculiar social economist in Boston bas advanced a novel proposition for dealing with murderers, who can be made, be thinks, to serve humanity far better than by execution. He deplores ordinary oapital punishment because It is a waste and destruction of valuable forces and energies which should be conserved.

He would give tbe culprit's eyes, Angers, toes, skin, teeth, scalp, whatever might be made available to those who need them, removing them nnder tbe influence of snesthetics.

Tbe physiological action of tobacco is that of an emetio and arterial sedative. Its emetio action is due to local Irritation of tbe gastric muoous membrane, its pecuiisr cerebral action and specific emetic property. Applied to a rounded surfaoe In a ooneentrated form tobaoco produces its systemic effects.

Its sedative effect on the circulation is due, not to direct action upon tbe heart, but to a retention of carbonio acid in the blood, caused by Interference witb the pulmonary functions.

Numerous deaths have been from time to time reported from Its medicinal U9e, yet we possess no reffiedy so effective in tbe treatment of Ulamiut as tobacoo.

The use of tobacco in any form is beyond aoubt prejudicbl t6 good' health. Chewing is apt to derange the digestive function viz—1st by impairing the activity of tbe mucous folllcjis of the stomach in swallowlhg a 'part of the salivs after admhttufo with the tobacco. 2d. It engenders a demand upon -the salivary glands for saliva at a time •when they should be functionally inactive over 'stimulation prod aces debility of the glands, atd an-impaired 1 1 1 quality of saliva is the result. As a consequence of this impairment,«a Joss of digestive power ensues,'for upon the quality and quantity of the saliva and gastric juice depends tbe power of stomach digestion. Tobacoo ap manufactured contains grit wbicb, when chewed, wears away tbe enamel of the teeth, thereby rendering them subject tor.early decay.

Smoking is by far more injurious in. Its ultimate effects than chewing. The habit of smoking sifter fefcch'meAl is an injurious one. It prevents the blood from becoming oxidized, to a certain extent, insomuch as it interferes with respiration. It causes* a retention in the blood of tarbonie acid and other deleterious substances, which ordinarily are thrown off by the lungs, at a time when of all others it should be

The habit of smoking a pipe often causes ulcers about the mouth, troublesome to beal, and it is a rule laid down in modern surgery as a cause of Epithelial cancer of the lower lip. However much truth there may be in tbe latter assertion remains to be determined, but certain it is that one very frequently follows the ether.

As to the use of cigars, there is muob to be said, but time and space will not permit an extended view of the many evils arising therefrom. There is a possibility of thesmoker contracting a disease that may be handed down to bis posteritv for several generations. Every one knows the cigar maker is in the habit of moistening the cigar with saliva when he finishes it. If he should happen to have a specific ulcer about the mouth he conveys to every cigar he makes the possibility of infecting the man who smokes it, should he happen to bave a slight abrasion about the mouth. Men often seek advice from physiciansiabout these forms of ulcers, but nlne'timesout of ten will not believe in their character. In like manner are pbysicians consulted by ladies of the better class, for small sores, upon tbe lips. They are contraqted from young men to whom they are engaged, by tbe act of kissing.

Thousands of lives are wrecked in that way, yet there is "Nobody4o Biame.JJ "Tobacco lsa poison weed,

TWENTY CIGARS A DAY. Everybody, even his personal friends, supposed Matt Carpenter was in tbe best of health, till the announcement that his physicians advised bim to go to Florida. An intimate friend of tbe Senator makes the following startling statement:

I tell you that no man can smoke twenty Havana cigars a day and keep up tbe practioe without encountering oertain death. It is a hazardous thing to do, and Mstt Carpenter is doing it.
