A HORRIBLE tragedy is reported from Cuba, Crawford County, Mo. Malcolm Logan and his family, consisting of a wife, three children, and an adopted girl 7 years old, were killed on their farm near that place. The first suspicion that the crime had been committed was developed when a neighbor discovered a trail of blood leading to the house. He followed it. The first object he discovered when he entered the house was the body of the adopted girl lying in the hall. The girl had been killed with a hatchet. The rear portion of the house was burned down, and in the ruins were found the charred remains of Mrs. Logan and her three children. The body of the father was missing. The trail of blood was again followed, and a mile and a half from the house Logan’s body was found. He had also been killed with a hatchet, anti his body was dragged some distance to the railroad track and placed on the rails. Logan had recentlydisposed of some property and received $1,300, and robbery is supposed to have been the motive for the crime....

An audience large enough to fill McVicker’s spacious theater from the frequently mentioned front row to the emergency chairs that burst forth from the rear walls greeted charming little Lotta with incessant rounds of laughter and applause, says the Chicago Daily News. This general favorite has the reputation of being the wealthiest lady in the profession, and the pleasant report is surely well grounded, since for years she has enjoyed phenomenal prosperity. Time sits lightly on her shapely shoulders, and treats most generously her agile frame. Nor is her success undeserved. She is as conscientious in her work to-day as she I was when entering upon her career. The ■ reward that has come to her is of a nature to prove that, despite the jests of the careless, there is genuine merit in what she does. Within the limits of her chosen line of endeavor she may be termed incomparable. This merry sprite, this tuneful little fairy, who manipulates with subtle sorcery our lachrymal glands and our cachinnatory organs, will glance on and sing on and keep us always laughing and weeping at her sweet will. She appeals to all alike—the young, the old, the grave, the gay, the rich, the poor, the lowly, the proud—all own the spell of little Lotta’s fascinations, and all surrender to it cheerfully. Her engagement at McVicker’s Theater lasts for another week. Charles A. Hand, a hotel-keeper at Sarnia, Ontario, has been arrested for plotting to blowup the residence of Liquor Inspector Palmer.

For the third time within a year, the volcano of Colima, Mexico, has be- ; come active, catising terror in the surrounding villages. Miss Clara Barton, of the Red Cross I Association, telegraphs from Charleston I that the loss and suffering there have not been overestimated, but that two-thirds of the funds required for relief are already assured. Wiggins’ earthquakes and tornadoes failed to materialize on the 29th ult., much to the relief and joy of the people along the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts. With the exception of light shocks at Elizabethtown, Pa., and Petersburg, Va., and a “norther” in Texas and North Louisiana, there were no subterranean or meteorological disturbances whatever. A Charleston dispatch says: Wiggins prediction has had a marked effect i on the emotional nature of the negroes, an I for the past four or five nights their churches have been filled with crowded congregations of frenzied worshipers. The effect of the shocks on the superstitious negroes has been fearful, and they seem to have determined to be taken to I heaven by storm. Hundreds of converts are made every night, and the excitement is so great that many go into trances and have to be I carried home on stretchers. Among the whites the religious sentiment has also been deeply aroused. An Atlanta (Ga.) telegram says: At daylight this morning the streets of Atlanta were filled with early risers. They found a cloudless sky but a chilly atmosphere. As noon passed and night was reached the people gave up then- fears, and returned to their homes. The colored people kept up their religious meetings until, to-night. Many of the merchants did not go to their places of business to-day, their families refusing to be left | alone. Perhaps the best evidence of the fears | of the people was the abs ention of the school ‘ children. The non-attendance was greater than ex er before known, and the teachers report that | the children who did attend might as well have j staid at home. The many high buildings in the । city were emptied of their inmates all day, I who, uj>on one e’^use or another, staid out until the dreaded hour for the event hud passed.

Pauline Lucca, Baroness von Wallhofen, is the wife of the very man whom, during the greater part of her tour in America, she kept hidden in the hotels which she occupied, at the expense of her manager. When once asked by me, in a very polite way, who that mysterious person was whose hotel expenses figured in her bills, she answered, “ 1 hat is part of my baggage. Are you not bound by our contract to pay for the transportation and cure of my baggage?” Another German prima donna, Mme. Liehtmay, who sang here in German and Italian, was married to a Baron Garay, whose regular daily hotel bill included two bottles of Chateau I afitte, one of Chateau d’Yquem, and several of Veuve Cliquot. He actually drank away his poor, hard-work-ing wife’s earnings. As a matter of course, he attributed to his own merit all the success of his lady, and never spoke otherwise of her than as “we.” His usual phrases in conversation were, “we sang splendidly yesterday,” “we can not accept that part in the new opera,” “we will be sick to-morrow and unable to sing, therefore do not put us on the programme.”— Max Maretzek, in Freund’s Music and Drama. “It is as harmless as it is effective,” is what is said of Red Star Cough Cure by Dr. S.

Phosphorus for Matches. Who first suggested the use of phosphorus as, an inflammable agent in I matches is not certainly known. Many j people in England have claimed credit, i from an apothecary in the Strand up to a member of the present House of Commons. It is said that Derosne, who is known in the history of technical chemistry for his application of the decolorizing properties of animal charcoal to sugar resin ng, made a friction match with a phosphorus tip so far back as 181(5. In Germany the in ven-1 tion of the phosphorus match is attributed to Kammerer, but the name which is most prominent in connection with the early stages of the manufacture is that of Preshel, of Vienna, who, in I>G \ had a large factory in operation for the making of lueifers; indeed, it was mainly through his exertions and those of Moldenhauer, of Darmstadt, I that Austria and South Gennany be- I came for many years the chief sources ■ of the supply of matches. To-day । Sweden is rapidly coming to the front ' among the match-making < ountr.es of | the world. Altogether in the Scandi- I navia there are some fourscore factories, 1 the famous ono at Joukopmg, with its 6,000 work people, being probably the largest in the world; in lbßo Sweden exported some 50,000,000,000 matches to all parts of the world. In Germany and Austria the number of manufactories is much larger. Altogether there are upward of 450 factories in the two countries, but the total output of cadi country is probably less than that of Sweden, although enormous quantities are sent from Central Europe into Russia, Turkey, and various other parts of Western Asia. In France the manufacture of matches is a Government . monopoly. Serious Danger Threatens every man, woman and child living in a region of country whore fever and ague is prevalent, ainco the germs of malarial disease are inhaled from the air and are swallowed | from the water of such u region.

To clean and polish the shells first wash them in warm, soft water, to which a little ammonia has been added, using a common hand-brush. When clean rub them with a cloth and paste made of whiting and a little water. When tho shells feel smooth to the touch wash this paste all off and dry, after which apply a few drops of sweet oil and rub them briskly with the ball of the thumb or the palm of the hand, or a piece of soft leather will answer.— Allentown (Pa.)

The virtues of St. Jacobs Oil, as pro- ’ claimed by millions of restored sufferers, | should induce every one to supply his I housshold with this great specific. It coni quers paiu. Mahogany. The finer sorts are found in the mountainous districts of Cuba and St. Domingo, and are called Spanish mahogany, though the forests on the coasts of Honduras supply the English market with a large amount. The seeds from the mahogany tree are winged; they are carried in all directions, and take kindly to the soil, which, however, has much to do with the value of the timber. If the wood grows without any moisture, except what it receives from the atmosphere, the grain is harder, more knotty, and of a deeper color; for this kind as much as a thousand dollars has been paid for a cubic yard, while the poorer quality has not brought a hundred dollars. As a rule, the branches furnish better timber than the trunk, the wood being of closer grain, and more richly figured. The tree takes 200 years to grow before it is fit for use. A London firm once paid $15,000 for three mahogany logs, the product of a single tree. They were cut into veneers from an eighth to an inch in thickness, and when polished reflected the light in the most varied manner, like the surface of crystal. _ Stranger than Fiction are the records of some of the cures of conBumption effected by that most wonderful remedy—Dr. Pierce's '‘Golden Medical Discovery.” T housands of grateful men and women, who have been snatched almost from the very jaws of death, can testify that consumption, in its early stages, is no longer incurable.
