Miss Nellie Rossitek, of Philadelphia, last year received a State diploma, for her success in silk culture. She begun with 200 worms; in a few days she will have 100)000: She has made $300 this year.

The balance of trade iu : favor o this country for the ye ir i-noing Jnne 30, 1881, was $171,000,000; the previous year it was $92,000,000.

The Associated Charities of Boston have published a circular wiarning people against giving money to street beggars. "They are aluaosjt sure to be swindlers," say a com mi if ee of the society, after careful investigation : "ninety-niuti out of one hundred is not too high to put it, and, in fflct, is being very lenient to the hundredth; and yet, because it is an easy sdrt of selfindulgence to put one's liajnd in ono's

The bitterness of feehng existing in Rome between the supporters and the opponenjts cf the Papacy was freshly demonstrated the other day on the oc-

A Bebltic correspondent says: Statistics published by the Hamburg po

lice authorities, show the number of

German emigrants passing through xEamburg alone to America, jrom January 1, to June 80, 1881, .amounts to 74,633, being twice Ihe number for the same period in tne year following the late war between France pad Germany. The figures for aueh immigration in the corresponding period of last year were 32,489, and the total for the year, 106,190 So that if the immigration proceeds in the same proportion for the second half of 1881, the govern meu 'twill find that; reckoning the fugitives by other channels, it has lost in 1881 about a quarter of! a mij-

I The decision of Judge Kiddie and the I Supreme Court that a h otel keeper did j not -desecrate the Sabbath by; selling ! cigars. on that day, 1 becaustj selling cigars is an incident to his business of hotel keeping, was the law to Judge Heller of the Indianapolis Criznnnl Court,' when he decided, the other day, that the selling of railroad excursion tickets on Sunday is not a desecration of the Sabbath, Ho argued thai; as railrioad companies are allowed to run trains on Sunday, and as excursion trains are in the line of regular business, thersilroad companies have a. right to run them ' on Sunday. It is thought that the Biddle decision will not stand as the opiulon of the couttif !this case is taken before it on an appeal. Ak Illinois woman was unwilling, on marrying a second time, to give up the alimony which she had been receiving from her first husband, from whom she had been divorced. She brought a suit to compel the continuance of payments, but the Supreme Court decided against; her. "Treating allimony," said Judge Scott, ."as the equi valen t of that obligation for support which arises in favor of the wife .out of the marriage contract, and which ia lost when that contract is au nulled by the decree, she obtains the same obligation for support by a second marriage. It is unreasonable that s'.ie should have the equivalent of an obligation for support by way of alimony from a former husband and an obligation from a present .husband for anadequate support at the same ume." Speakinci of the storm which raged in the Northern part of this State on Wednesday and Wed n esday night, an Elkhart special says: "Last night was by far the most severe night Elkhart ever experienced in the way of lightning, rain and thunder. Almost the night long did the heavens look as if ablaze. People were half crazed. Every thunder shock seemed to tear the earth loose. The damage done to property throughout thU viciy will aggregate a large amount The most damage done to our place was the burning o( a straw board mill, which was struck by light uing and set on fire. The loss amounts to $15,000. The amount of insurance is thought to cover the loss, but is as yes unknown. One of the freaks of the l.ghtnioff was

something worthy of notice. Mrs. John Min ton was sitting on one side of a window and her two children on the other, in the dark, when a terrible flash of lightning burst through the window and, to their astonish

ment, lighted their lamp, which was sitting ou a table between the mother and children. None of then) were in? jured. Thu reports are being received here to-night from the farming country, which was a sufferer by the terrible storm."

It is believed that the dare-devil who wi th consummate address, robbed the stage-coach running between Del Norte and' Alamosa on the night of June 29th, was entirely without assistance in that bold operation'. If this be the fact, his exploit will rank among the most audacious in the annals of highway robbery.. There were eight men and one woman iuside the coach aud four men on top besides the driver. Wheu they were about twenty miles from Del Norte, at midnight, the robber (appeared behind a piece of canvas streltohed along the roadside, ordered the jdriver to halt and the entire company to dismount from the sta &e. Ail thefourteen persons immediately complied and. ranged themselves inline in accordance with the robber's in

structions. Ho then took all their

monley and sacked the- mail bags,

coolly cautioning his prisoners meantime-not to make any unnecessary motions, for they were all covered by

the guns of his companions stationed

close hy in the woods Thus wi th an ,

soft; an (l mellow voice he finished his

job aud retired into the darkness.

After his departure the passengers pickecl up the scattered mail and the stage proceeded. A man by the name of H. M. Burton was arrested in Pueblo oil July 1, charged with the robbery, aud on July 8th underwent a preliminary examination in Denver aud was committed for trie J.

Sitting Bull, the famous Sioux chief, with five other chiefs and 200 of his tribe in charge of a scout, are coming to surrender to the United States authorities at Fort Buford.

Tho Attack Upon Gen, Jackson

Bandolph Affair. The Ben ton -Jackson quarrel had involved many , friends on both sides. General Jackson had acted as second to Gen. Win. Carroll in a duel which the latter fought with Jes?e Benton, brother to Thomas H. on the morning of September. 4, 1S13. Gen. Jackson and his friend Col. Coffee, were on their way from the Postoffieo to their

hotel in Nashville, when, m passing the City Hail, the former, observing Col. Benton standing in the City Hotel doorway, approached him saying: "Now, you d d rascal, I'm going to punish you. Defend yourself." Instantly Benton put his hand in his breast pocket as if fumbling for a pistol, when, quick as lightning, .Jackson drew his and leveled at his antagonist. As Jackson advanced Benton retreated, all the while covered by the former's weapon.' Benton finally recoiled as far as the back piazza of the inn, and the two enemies were turning upon it, when Jesse Benton entered the passageway behind Jackson, raised his pistol and 'fired. The weapon was loaded with two balls and a large slug. One ball snlintered the board partition at Jackson's side, the other buried itself iu his left arm, while the slug struck his left shoulder, mutilating it horribly. Colonel Coffee at this juncture took a hand, followed up by Col.

Benton till the latter st'jmbled down a

stairway, when Stoked?;? Hays, a nephew of Mrs. Jackson, joined the Vendetto assailed Jesse Bentoii, and was only prevented from sticking a dagger into his heart by a bystander, who caught his arm. "Faint from loss of blood, General Jackson was carried to his ion, whero his ghastly wounds wero dressed and where he was compelled to lie for several weeks. The ball in his arm was not; extracted until thirty years later, and after lie had reached the zenith of his glory. Itwasinapiping time of peace, when

Jackson had reached his sixty-sixth year, and was just entering his second

term as Presideut of the Uuited estates, that an assault was made upon him which was always believed- to have been

with murderous intent. Opposition to

Old Hickory had been silenced, and he believed himself at peace with all man

kind The summer of 1833 lie speu t m traveling, and on May 8th of that year,

on his way from the Capital to Fred

ericksburg., the steamer ou which he rode stouter! at Alexandria. Here a

man named Randolph, lately dismissed

from a Lieutenancy in the navy, board

ed the vessel, made his way to tne cabin

where he found the Presideut sitting be

hind a table reading a neivspaper. Ran

dolph, approached the redoubtable old

man as to salute him, when the latter apologized politely., for not rising, ex-

laiumg he was distressed, by a pain in the side The unannounced visitor mad

no renlv, and began p idling oil hisglove

when Jackson said, "Never mind your glove, sir," at the same time holding

out his hand. Randolph, ignoring the

proffered hand., thrust his own into

Jacksons face, attempting to twist the

nose of the latter, and thus precipitate a fight in which armed as he was, he

would co doubt have roved the victor.

The cap tarn, of the boat, who was standing by, seized Randolph, howev

er, and by the aid of his friends, dragged him off the boat and

soon hustled him to the shore. Oneof

the citizens of Alexandria proposed to kill Randolph for the assault, provided

oowardlv viilian's approach. I can as

sure vou all that he never would have

the temerity to uudertake such a thing

again." rtauaoipn was never .arresceu. It was also during his second term as President that a second attempt was made on his life. On the 30th of January, 1835, only. a few weeks after the celebration of the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, one of the great events of his lifetime, General Jaclcson, with his Cabinet and both Houses of Congress, together with a numerous concourse of citizens.had assembled in the hall of the House of Representatives to pay the last rites to a deceased member of the House from South Cortina. The funeral over, a. procession was formed, headed by Mr, Woodbury and Mr. Bickerson, to escort the body to the grave. The precession had ju3t crossed the rotuiada of the Capitol, and was emerging upon the portico, when a stranger darted from the crowd, and placing himself before the President, not more than six or eight feel; distant,

pulled a pistol,leveled it at the President aud drew the trigger. The cap exploded, but luckily the pistol didn't. The would-be assassin then drew out a see o nd pistol which he had oneealed under his cloak, again leveled and pulled the trigger and again missed fire. By this time the President had recovered from the surprise, rushed at his. assail ant with uplifted cane, but before he could reach him and strike, Lieutenant Gedney, of the navy, had kuocked the assassin down. He was then secured and escorted to jail. It was several days before the people could be convinced that the assailant had not been sent on a mission of death by a clique

of politicians, enemies of the President, The prisoner proved to be a lunatic named Lawrence, an English housepainter, who had beeu several weeks out of employment. He had heard that the country had been'ruined by the President's measures, and when questioned said heconld nnt be punished for what he had done, since the powers of Europe would pro tect him. If Jackson's successor had 'pursued the game course that Jackson iiad, he said 1 hat it had been his intention to assassiuate him also. La wreneo was subsequently incarcerated iu an asylum for lunatics.

Garfield's Speech m Congress on tho Anniversary ot Mr. Iiincoin's Death. There are times in the history of men and nations wh en they stand so near the veil which separates mortals and immortals, time from eternity, and men from their God, that they can almost hear ths breathings and feel the pulsations of the'heart and the intellect. Through such a time has this nation .passed. When 250,000 brave spirits passed from the field of houor through that thin veil to the

presence of (iod, and when

at last its

nartintr fold ..admitted, the martyred

President to the company of the dead heroes of tho republic, t he nation stood so near the veil that the whispers of God were heard by the children of

men. Awe acricKen. oy.nis. voice, uw

American people knelt m tearful rever

ence and made a solemn covenant

with God aud each other that .this nation should foe saved from His enemies, that all its glories should be restored, and on the ruins of sla very and treason the temples of freedom and justice should be built, and stand forever. It remains for us, consecrated by the great event, and under that covenant with God to keep the faiths to go forward in the great work until it shad be completed. Following the lead of that great man, and obeying the high behests of God, let us remember 'Hollas scumWl forth Ids trmupclj that slwill never ca:il retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before his judtrmenl seat :

There is no horizontal stratification of society in this country like the rocks in the earth, that holds one class down below forever more, and lets another come to the surface to stay there forever. Oar stratification is like the ocean where every individual drop is

free to move, and where fronf the eternal depths of the mighty deep a drop may come up to giitter on the highest wave t hat rolls, I would rather be beaten in Right than succeed ifct Wrong. Present evils always seem greater than those that never come. , " ' .... For the noblest man that-liyes, there still remains a conflict, . After thobalitle of Arms comes the battle of History. .. ..

Horirorsi of Hydrophobia. New York speoial. A case of death from hydrophobia occurred this morning on Jersey City heights, The victim was Ida May Drayton, three years and seven months old. On May 22, : while the girl was out i walking, a dog sprang at her and inserted his teeth in the upper

part of her nose, but without making

any more serious wouua cnan a sngni. abrasion of the skin. The child was greatly frightened, -however, and hastened home at once. When she informed her parents of the occurrence they took he to a doctor's office, and the doctor cautarized the wound, which healed iu a f- w nays. In the meantime the log was captured and shot by the police, not, however, until he had bitten an officer's hand. The animal at the time displayed no symptoms of rabies. Last Friday night the child came in from the street where she had been playing; with some other children, and complained to her mother of feel-

ins sick, Mrs. Drayton thought she

rnight have been slightly affected by

the heat, or that it was some childish .

ailment whic h would soon pass away. When, however, Ida was seized in the .evening with paroxysms, Mrs. Drayton became alarmed and hastily sum

mon d Dr. Wilkinson, who at once recognized s ym ptoms of hyrdopohbia. She display ei a most determined aversion to liquies of any kind ; in fact the sight of any liquid threw ... her into a paroxysm, "a: id seemed to increase her sufferings. A mirror which she could see from her bed had the,, same effect upon her as ! he sight of water, and it Jiad to be -removed. At times she would bark like a dog and snap her tee th together. The child's sufferings increased as time passed. Dr, Wilkhison says he never saw anything so frightful in all his experience.; He called Dr. B. A. Watson and Dr. Forman in consultation, and they agreed that his treat met t of the case was' the best that was. known to medical science. Dr. Wilkinson continued to administer urari, which is supposed tc neutralize the poison taken into the patient's system, but it hJfl no effect. The child lingered in great agony until this morning. 71 : A Millionaire's Murder. The inurdnr of the Austrian million-? aire, Baron Hpiithen, at Cobenzi, has created an immense sensation in Vienna, The baron, who owed his title to the Duke of Saxe'Meiningen,wasnot only remarkable for his large fortune, but also for his zeal for the church, which did not, however, prevent him

from being a harsh and niggardly master. He was killed by a game-keeper whom he had dismisjeed because he had a family of four illegitimate children . The ira m e-keener h ad offered to

The funeral procession had to pass through a jeering aiid boistrous crowd; The police had interfered., to.. prevent, the wife and .children of the murderer carrying out their intention of being present, but . could not en force the decency Jderinanded by the occasion. A sort of fair was improvised in the cemetery, in which old women sold uSouthen lottery tickets? and bakers boys "Souttien bretzen." The Baron's widov had idready received threatening letters commanding her, on pain of death, to provide for tha wife and

children of tne murderer. Those

menances seem to have produced their effect, for in tne evening paper of the same day her. man of business announc ed Jthat she given the family 2,000 florins, and would allow them to occupy the gamekeeper's lodge. It is said that the Socialist news-papers of Vienna haVD besides collected 10,000 florins for their benefit. A. Lasy Worian Olnolnnatl Ciiizettc.

facts were brought out on the testimony of the woman herself to the effect tha4 ihe had done no work for eighteen yea past, and in all that time sat in a .cliaS having a woman to wait on her; an ! more t ban that, she did not intend to work, fcr the simple reason that she mt marrl&i for the express purpose of aequi ring a position in which she would ha ve nothing to do.
