A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

THE Bureau of Vital Statistics of New York City shows that during the past eleven years, ending with the last year, the number of suicides was 1,521, an average of 188 per annum. The present year, which has begun in horrors by Land and sea, biting blizzards, thunder hand lighting, as a diversion in the winter, will, perhaps, be most prolific in suicides. Alternates of cold or warmth, appalling casualties such as the Milwaukee horror, and ocean and railroad tragedies react powerfully on nervous temperaments.

ITis not pleasant to think that only rich men can now go to the United States Senate. Colorado has just elected two Senators, one of whom is worth five millions, and the other ten millions. Minnesota has chosen a millionaire monopolist to succeed Windom,and nearly every other Western State has sought out similar candidates for Senatorial honors. It is possible that Senatorselect Bowen and Tabor,of Colorado, and Sabin, of Minnesota, may be as able statesmen as Clay, Calhoun and Webster, but the country in general does not feel flattered by having, the Senatorial mantle which her poor but great men once wore so proudly, put up to be raffled for by men whose one distinction,so far as is known at present, is the number of figures in their bank account.

A LADY who has given the subject of street flirtations some attention declares: "There is a dashing boldness to the girls of the present day that is not only disgusting, but exceedingly dangerousdangerous because it engulfs in ruining our sons as well as our daughters. By their manners they invite gentlemen to form their acquaintances, even going so far as to accost them on the street." There is no doubt in the world that many girls and young women are lacking In the modesty that would entitle them to genteel consideration, and it is quite as manifest that they are as largely responsible for the presence on the streets of the Indecent creature known as "mashers'' as Is the depraved natures of Buch men. It is as nice a matter to look after the girls as It is to drive the "betrayers" from the streets. It is brazen man indeed who speaks to woman who offers him no sort of en couragement.

HOT WATER.

An English writor says: "The Ameri cans have discovered anew remedy. It has the advantage of simplicity, for it consists of half a glass of very hot water taken morning and evening, or whenever a "pick-me-up" is required. It is said to cure go-it, rheumatism, indigestion, dyspepsia, and many other of the a complaints to which tlesn is heir. It really has,I believe, been tried with good effect by a considerable number of people, and notably by those whose brains are heavily taxed. Whatever the inter-

nal application of hot water may effect, uesiro .piy facsa. They should either dip their faces into a basin of very hot water, or apply the water with a sponge. At first they are like lobsters, but in a few moments this is replaced by the tiuts of peaches aud lilies."

HORRIBLE &CENE.

The circus fire in Russia was horrible The people were so closely packed that they could not move. Some of the clowns coming into the ring shouted "flro the audience, thinking It part of tho fun, laughed, but the shouting of the other performers undeceived them. Somo flung themselves from the galleries. Parents attempted to save their children by throwing them down into ring. Some, wearing the long coats of the'Russian Jews, were entangled on snikos and remained hanging in the air. The whole building resounded with heartrending cries. For a little while tho children wore safe in the center of the ring, but when the people began jumping from the dress circle ana galleries the children were trampled to death. A dozen horses, mad with terror, broke into the ring, trampling to death the people huddled there. In twenty minutes all was over. At the windows and exits some of the strongest forced the weaker back into the flames. Ttie Are engine was delayed by failing through tho ioe, and when it arrived the water in the tanks was found frozen.

THE PHENOMENA OF DEATH,' A Philadelphia phyaican has made a special study of the phencmeua of death, both through his personal observations and those of others, and his conclusion is that the dissolution is painless. "I mean," he explains, "that it approaches as unconsciONsly as nleep. The soul leaves the world as painlessly as it enters it Whatever be the rause of death, whether bv lingering miasma or sudden violence—dissolution comes either through syncope or asphyxia. In the latter case, when resulting from disease, the struggle is long protracted, aud accompanied by all the visible marks of agony which the imagination associates wish the closing pcone of life. Death docs not strike all the organs of the body at the same time, and the lungs are the last to giv* up the preformance of their functionsu As death approached, the latter grndnjflly becomes more and more oppressed aglce the rattle. Nor is the contact iffiBdently perfect to change the black venous into the red arterial blood an unprepared fluid consequently issues from the longs into the heart, and is thence transmitted to every other organ of the body. The brain -ives it and its energies"appear to be lulkJ thereby into sleep—generally tranquil sleep—filled with dreams which impel the names of friends and the occupations and i*e«llertionaJpl past life.''

WHAT TO WEAR AT HOME. Springfield News. We have done our own work for years and I know from experience it is possible to do it and be tidy. Most ladies require some amount of neatness from tneir servants, and rightly too. The lady of the house surely ought not to appear in a dress that she would not allow her servant to wear.

Of course, I don't mean the work can be done in nice dresses. Have dark calico or gingham made with short skirts and little drapery button these up to the throat and have a turnover collar sewed to the band. That will insure a presentable neck without the objectionable white collar, or even the trouble of put-

T&ehair need not be curled or frizzled. Just take the trouble to comb it out smoothly and put it up closely when you rise, ana you won't need to run up stairs to fix it when breakfast is ready. We have always in our kitchen a washstand with a large washpan—bowls are too easily broken—a clean towel and a comb. This makes it very easy to go to breakfast with a face that does not look as hot as the food ought to be.

The sweeping cap, made like a nuns cape, protects the hair, neck, and ears from all dust. Along housekeeper's apron catches the stray flour and other things that wouid soil the dress. A clean white apron and white tie makes the dark dress presentable for any emergency. Sew the buttons on at the right time and they will be all in place at breakfast time.

I think a woman's self-respect requires this much for her, and I have heard the wise ones say it is the surest way to keep a husband's love which ought to be the chief end of a wife's life. However, I will leave that subject for the wives to enlarge upon.

Let me advise all the girls of "The Household" to get in the habit of dressing neatly while housekeeping cares do not press /ou then, when you have homes of your own, it will be an easy matter.

Make long cloth gloves to sweep in they protect and do not bind the fingers have a mop to wash dishes and a large one to wash floors. The last saves many aback ache and many a doctor's bill. Don't wear slovenly wrappers aud say they are good enough for home. Your brothers see them. Dress for them, instead of some other girl's brothers. Make yourself an at tractive companion for them and thej will not leave home to be entertained, 1. may be to meet temptations whieh will work their ruin.

It is said that "order is heaven's first law," and surely an orderly home is the nearest place to heaven on earth. These little things make or mar our happiness to such an extent that we must give them attention. Did you ever read "We Girls II not do so right away.

SILK KERCHIEFS AND SORE jS THROATS. Dry Oooils Bulletin. Sore throats vanish when encircled in a silken kerchief. This is established beyond preadventure. The grandmothers knew all about this a hundred years ago. They believed, too, that silk would cure all other diseases, and some of them thought it would heal a broken leg "If only taken in time." We do not j?o so faras that, but we know that silk will absorb and store electricity as readily as a Leyden jar. It forms an essential curtain for the electric cylinder, and rubbed with quicksilver, has a master ipus power that imparts force to its retention. The curative force of silk is -dup^cu its electricity, and jthe medical faaiflty recommended silken hose and shirts for a thousand diseases. As Ave are not professional, we only take silk by the throat, and know its wonderful powers. We wili give a sure recipe: When you have the throat trouble, give a nice clean silk handkerchief to your sweetheart, with a request to tie it around your neck. If you are not cured, or choked by tender hands, we have made a mistake. The more expensive the kerchief the surer the cure, because your pet takes so long to examine the quality and get It just right, so it won't hurt. Try it and go home cured. We expect silk handkerchiefs will advance in price when this matter is understood.

CARE OF THE HORSE. N. Y. Graphic Never allow any one to tease or tickle your he roe in the stable. The animal only feels the torment and does not understand the joke. Vicious habits are thus easily brought on.

Never beat the horse when in the stable. Nothing soon makes him permanently vicious.

Let the horse's litter be dry and clean underneath as well as on top. Standing on hot, fermenting manure makes the hoofs soft and brings ou lameness.

Chance the litter partially in some

fng,

tarts ami entirely in others, every mornand brush* out and clean the stall thoroughly.

To procure a good coat ou your horse naturally, use plenty of rubbing and brushing. Plenty of "elbow grease oi)en the pores, softens the skin, and promotes the animal's general health.

Never clean a horse in his stable. The dust toulsthe crib and makes him loath his food.

Use the curry-comb lightly. When used roughly It is a source* of great pain

Let the heels be well brushed out every night. Dirt, if allowed to cake in, causes grease and sore heels.

Whenever a horse is washed, never leave him until he is rubbed quite dry. He will probably get a chill if neglected.

Let the horse have some exercise every day. Otherwise he will be liable to fever and bad feet.

Let your horse standloose if possible, without being tied up to the manger. Pain and weariness from a confined position induce bad habits and cause swollen feet and other disorders.

Look often at the animal's feet and leg*. Disease or wounds in these parts, if at all neglected, becomes dangerous.

Every night look and see if there is any stone between the hoof and the shoe. Standing on it all night, the horse will be lame next morning.

Do not urge the animal to drink water when he refuses. It is probably hard and unwholesome.

Never allow drugs to be administered to your horse without your knowledge. They »re not needed to keep the animal in health, and mav do the greatest and most sudden mWhief.

Raymond promised, and, seating himself opposite Hearn, began to make the ordinary mesmeric passes. I kept silent, and looked on. After about ten minutes Hearn closed his eyes, while his bead dropped heavily back upon the chaircusnion. He was evidently mesmerized. Whether he was in the cliirvoyant condition or not, remained to be seen. Raymond stopped making passes with bis hands, and we both waited. Presently a visible tremor ran through Hearn frame. His bands opened and closed convulsively, and his lips moved. At length he spoke, but in a low, monotonous tone and if his words came from some immense distance: "A hotel!" he began. "I see a hotel. It is lofty the streets are dark, and there is ice upon the ground. Few of the windows are lighted there are no peo-

file

on the streets, and no light except rom a few gas-lamps. I rise to tbe level of the fourth story and look Into a window. It Is a large aud handsome bedroom, and a man and woman are sleeping in tbe bed. I see their faces. They are both young, aud she is fair to look on, with clear brow and dark auburn tresses. Upon the finger of her band, which lies upon the counterpane, I seea wedding-ring. I can see, too, that it has not been there long. The room fades away. I pass by other rooms with their inmates peacefully deeping. All is dark and quiet. I am hurried along. Swift* lv I pass over fields and farms, forests and cities, till I find myself in a small &>untry town. It is day now, and on tbe streets I see tbe same yonng man and woman whom I saw asleep in the hotel. They look just tbe same, bat they walk like lovers, and on her finger there is no wedding-ring. I follow them home— into the parlor of a comfortable boose, where an old man is sitting. Tbe young man speaks to tbe old man, and from what the old man answers be seems to be happy for be kisses the girl and leads her again out of tbe house. Tbe old man goes to a cabinet, lakes out a sheet of parchment, lays it on the table and looks at it. Now another yonng man enters, sits down, and talks to the old man.

Robert Duncan Milne in Argonaut. It was the evening of the 10th of January. After spending an hour or two with my friend Raymond in social discussion of various old topics, tbe conversation at length drifted into the shadowy domain of transcendentalism.

P'Do you really believe," I said, "that certain peculiarly constituted persons possess the power of clairvoyance ?—the ability to see what is goiug on at tho time in another part of the world "lean not say that I do," replied Ray mond "although there is any quantity of evidence—such as it is—as to the verity of second sight, presentiments, and other phenomena of a similar nature. By the bye, there is a friend of mine, just lately arrived In town, who used to lay claim to some faculty of this kind. I meant to have called on him this evening. In fact, it is not too late yet—only eleven by the watch—and we areas likely to find him in now as at any other time. What do you say if we chance it? You will find him an agreeable fellow enough."

Having nothing particular to do, I assented, and together we strolled down the street toward the Baldwin Hotel. Upon inquiry, we found that Mr. Hearn —that was the gentleman's name—was in his rooms, so we asc«nded thither. I found him to be such a man as I should have expected from the observation Raymond had let fall. Tall, danc, of a nervous-bilious temperament, he belonged to the type with which custom has associated those who are supposed to be gifted with extraordinary magnetic powers. Beirg a brilliant conversationalist, and one who had traveled as well as read, be entertained us so pleasantly with stories of seer-lore in many countries—for we had stated our reason for calling very unreservedly at first—that the time slipped unconsciously by. "Our friend Raymond," I at length remarked, "has told me that you yourself are possessed of the wondrous p:wer of clai rvoyance or second-sight. Could you not favor us with some practical exposition of what we have just been talking about?—that is to say, if it is not too late, for I see that it is already nearly one o'clock." "/I am not sure," replied Hearn, "that the conditions are favorable to-night. As to the time, pray don't mention it. I have always found the early hours of morning most favorable to mental concentration of every kind, and I may veritably call them part of my waking day. I will, however, try what I c»n do for you. If I can enter the trance state, I may possibly be able to furnish you with some interesting descriptions of what I see. You magnetized me once before, Raymond, I remember suppose you try your hand at it again. But mind, don't keep me influenced more than half or three-quarters of an hour. The prolonged mental stran incident to trance is peculiarly enervating."

small and furtive, and his whole appearance forbidding. My sense of hearing is becoming clear as well as my sense of sight. He talks to the old man about his cousin Kaie. She is the old man's daughter, and he asks her band in marriage. He says he has always oxpected to marry her,* and that the old man had led him toexpect so. Tbe old man confesses that this is the case, but says that he has found it impossible to influencehis daughter's heart, and that she is now theaffianced bride of another. The young man grows furious with rage. He asks tbe old man what that document is which is spread on tbe table before him. The old man answers that it is his will, and that it bestows all his property upon his daughter and her heirs. The young man asks if be is totally forgotten, and the old man tells him that in the event of his daughter dying without issue the property reverts to him. The young man smiles a dark, revengeful smile, and again all is obscured. Ihe vision has passed from me."

Hearn paused for a moment or two, and then resumed: "It is evening in the forest. Everything is huthed, and the crimson sunset is glancing up tbe glades. I see a space clear from trees, on the edge of a deep ravine,and the sun is reflected from some glittering object on tbe ground. I approach and see that the light is thrown back by the steel of a railroad. As I gaze a man comes out of the forest. He looks about him and listens. I see that all the ties near a joint of the rails have been sawed in to, and the rails separated. I hear a distant rumbling sound, and see a train approaching. The man steps back among the trees. The train rushes on. The locomotive reaches tbe place where the rails are widened, and leaves the track, plowing up the land, and at length tumbling headlong down the embankment. The cars follow the en-

?usion,

ine, and are piled up in terrible conone above the, other, in the ravine. The air resounds with the shrieks and groans of the injured and the dying. From beneath one of the cars emerge a young man and woman. They are unhurt. I recognize them as the_ same couple I saw In the hotel, and in the country town. I also see the short dark man,who was watching for the ap proaching train. When he sees the young man and woman safe, he grinds his teeth and foams at tbe mouth, then disappears in the forest. Again my vision becomes dim. I see and hear nothing more."

Presently the same convulsive tremor which heralded speech ran through Hearn again. *lI am again at the hotel in the sleeping city, where I was at first. The night is bitterly cold, and nobody is about. I enter the door, and am In the office. No one is there but the night clerk, aud he is dozing behind tbe counter. Yes. I see another. He is scarcely visible in the obscurity of the recess which he is in. It is a narrow side-passage at the bottom of the elevator. The clerk could not see him from where he Is. even if he were awake. He creeps along stealthily, on tip-toe, till he reaches a door near the side of the elevator shaft. Now lean see who he Is. It is the same dark, sin-ister-looking man whom I saw in the country house and at the railroad accident. He opens the door, and I see that it is a closet used for keeping firewood for tbe stove. He takes a nundle of shavings from beneath his great-coat, strikes a match upon his trousers, and lights the shavings. Hastily be throws them beneath a pile of the stove-wood, steps out and closes the door. Then he passes out into the street, unseen by auy. I watch the door of the closet. Graduallv and slowly a little wreath of blue smoke forces itself out of tbe sides of the door. It passes unnoticed, for nobody is near. A few minutes after, more blue smoke enters the ball from the bottom of the elevator shaft. Yet a few minutes, and a tiny flame appears in the same place. Now the whole of the bottom of the shaft is wrapped in flames. There is oil upon the sides, and the flames lick it greedily up, and lead higher and higher. The smoke in the hall grows denser. At length it wreathes and curls about the head of the nigbt clerk, as be dozes behind the counter. He wak63 with a start, jumps up, looks wildly about him, and runs for the door. Now I can hear tbe flames roaring as thev are driven by heated blasts up the •shaft. The shaft is one immense chimney, up which the flames ascend at once to the top story. The figures of affrighted men aud women, in night garments, rush down the stairs into the hall. They shriek, and rush hither and thither at random. Some of them rush through the door Into the street. I see a figure enter the door along with the firemen. It is the short, dark, evil-looking man. He walks to the counter, closes tne register book, and takes it up in h's hands. Then he makes for tbe stairway, and goes up. "Again I find myself on the fourth story, and iu the room where I saw the young man and woman first. They are in bed no longer, but have arisen and are standing on tha floor, locked in each others's arms. The room is full of smoke, and near and ever nearer comes a crackling and rushing souid I go out into tbe corridor. Everything around me seems on fire. Doors are wide open. Some pale and ghostly forms, with starting eyeballs and frenzied look, sweeo shrieking past me to the farther end. Then they stop, for at the turn of tbe corridor they see that the the fire has ossessien of the path before them as it ^as behind. Some fall prone to the floor stifled and blinded by tbe smoke. Others rush Into little side passages at the end of whlch are windows looking into the street. At the window at the end of the little passage, next the room where the young man and woman are, stands a man with a book in bis hand. It is the dark, evil-looking man, and the book I recognize as the hotel register. From beneath bis coat be pulls a strangelooking bundle. He uncoils it, and I perceive it is made of finely-twisted wire. One end of this he attaches to the bottom of tbe window, and over all he throws bis overcoat so that none may see it. Now the flames along the corridor wax fiercer. Every window looking on tbe street is filled with faces, imprinted with tbe death agony, and horrible with the lineaments of despair. Tbey spread their bands, and implore to tbe people below. Now no man lumps from a window toward a sheet of canvas that is being held above the level of the street. His right leg is caogbt by a telegraph wire which arrests his downward passage., His body swings round, and, falling head foremost, bis weight bears down the canvas, and be strikes tbelpavement with an ominous thud. Again I behold the young man and woman in the room. Tbe nmoke has driven them to tbe window, and they stand side by ride, gazing in mute despair upon tbe street. The sinister roan stands at the next window, at tbe end of the little passage. He hecotw to the voaug man and woman, and sail be tightly clasps the register. His eyes are lit tip with' a deveiish glare, aftd be laughs a hard, discordant laugh. Hark! I can hear what he says. He Is speaking to them. Ha! ha!' he says. 'You robbed me of the girl I loved. 2»ow she stands beside you doomed, do you hear?—as you are doomed. Sfott not

only robbed me of mv love, but you robbed me of my inheritance, or would have robbed me bad she lived, she or her children. I determined from that moment tb.it you should not live. It wa9 I who arranged the destruction of the train you were on as you came- here. Fifty people were killed, all on yo«r account, yet you escaped unhurt. I was balked of my revenge. I followed you here. I saw you enter this hotel and register your ~a»mes on the book. I determined yo» should not leave this hotel aliVe. I am penniless andt could not afford to wait longer besides, such an opportunity might never occus again. Half an hour ago I set fire to the elevator shaft. I knew that your hereon the fourth story were doomed, ami I left the hotel whe« my work was done. But I was not satisfied. I knew that if the hotel register should be lost. I would have difficulty in proving that you were dead, and that till I could prove It I could not tooch the property, for every one s*pposed that you had gone South. I hurried back, and seeing the register left unheeded, and liaible at any moment to be consumed, I possessed myself of it. Your names are here, and tne book constitutes my proof. I was again on the point of leaving the hotel, but my revenge 'was not yet satisfied. To crown it, and render it complete, it was necessary for me, at all hazzards, to witness your dying torments, and to make you know it was 1 who caused them. The risk was as terrible as tbe satisfaction will be complete. I bad a fire-escape with me, and determined to witness your dying agonies, and then useit. See, here it is. 1 am going now. Will you come with me?' '•The voung man and woman stand at the window locked in each other's arms, the image of mute despair. Tbe flames have new entered their room, and the fierce, fiery tongues are licking the furniture behind them. The dark man begins to uncoil his fire-escape. He has uncoiled about twenty feet of it when the wires became bound. He tries to untwist them. The flames are nearly licking his face. He tugs and strains at them. They will not move. He wrestles with them with the ferocious energy of despair. They are fast locked. He leans out of the window, and calls for help in fearful, blood-curdling accents. He is answered by the shouts of a fireman aud new the end of a ladder appears outside the window. It poises a moment in mid air, theqf swings slowly to the wall between his Window and that at which the young man and woman stand. He stretches out his hand toward it, but it is just out of reach. A fireman appears at the top. and the next moment the your.g lady is being carried in bis arms down the ladder. The young man follows. Again the dark man shrieks piteously for help. He climbs on to the window-sill, with the iuteution of making a desperate bound for the ladder. The charred wood crumbles beueath bis weight, aud, with the demoniac shriek of a damned spirit, he sinks backward into the burning abyss."

Hearn paused. Great beads of perspiration were breaking out all over his face. From laboring under intense excitement, he suddenly sank back as if he exhausted. "Raymond plied him with reverse passes and presently he woke up. "Where have I been? What have I been saying?" he inquired, iu a dazed aud bewildered manner.

After briefly telling him the substance of his strange revelations, we saw him to bed and left. It was three o'clock when we did so, and my surprise at the mysterious phenomenon I had witnessed was not lessened when next morning's bulletins gave accounts of just such a fire having taken plaOe in an Eastern city, during the time of Hearn's trance, corrected for the Sau Francisco meridian.

AN INCIDENT IN VIRGINIA. Our old friend, Mr. Wm.
