attempt to arown a woman irom a sampan close by the landing steps, oil
tho part oi two men, one of whom was seen to push her into the water. Mr. Mor&tn, of the Custom service,
who saw Lhb occurrence from the shore, ran down the steps and rescue 1 the jvoaiah, the water there being only six, feet dep. When he pulled her out of the water it was fotind that tier hands were tied behind her neck. She said to her rescuer: 'Maskeei more better I die." When she had recovered from the effects of her bath she went home. At 4 -.30 a. m M the next day, she was "successfully drowned 'by her brothersin lawj the men whose' attempt had had been frustrated ou the previous da. They took her .oututhis time into the middle bf the river,, andj haying attached a line to her waist, as well a$ pinioned her arms and iixed a stcne around her neck, they pushed her in! 8 the water as before. After life was extinct they pulled the body up by the line around the waist, took it" ashore and buried it with the usual funeral rites. The crime of the deceased was staled to be that "she refused to marry an old man! she being a fine, bloomi:ig widow, wanted something better." The details of the actual murder were given to. Mr. Morgan by some Chinese, wno. witnessed both events, and the mvrddrers themselves told him that it would have beeh better if lie had not interfered with their first attempt. Heats a Fish Story, hetjaudh (Ky.) Standard. , . A very Curious and interesting spectacle was to be seen Monday afternoon in the office ot Mr. P. O. Clever's livery stable in this city. A g; dust the wall of the room stauds a tolerably tall desk, and under this a small spider, not larger than a common pea, had constructed an extensive web reaching down to the floor. About 11 :30 o'clock Monday forenoon it was observed that the spider had ensnared a young mouse by passing fiia ments of her web around its tailWhen first seen the mouse had its hind feet on the floor, and could barely touch the floor with its fore feet. The spider was. full of business, running up and down the line, occasionally biting the mouse'stail, making it struggle desperately.. Its efforts to escape were unavailing, as the slender filaments about its tail were too strong for it to break. In a short time it Was seen that the spider was slowly hoisting its victim into the air. By 2 o'clock in the afternoon tte mouse could hardly touch the floor with its fore feet; by dark the point of its nose was an inch above the floor. At 9 o'clock at night the mouse was still alive, but made no sign except when the spider descend etl and bit its tail. At thU time it was
an inch and a half from the floor.
Yesterday morning trie mouse was dead, and hung three inches from the floor. , .... The news of the novel sight soon became circulated, and hundreds of people visited the stable to wituess.it. The mouse is a small one, probably less than half grown, measuring about one and a half inches irom the point of its nose to the root of its tail. How the spider succeeded! in ensnaring it is not known' The meoaanical ingenuity of the spider, which enables her to raise a body which must wesgh forty or fifty times as much as herself, has been the subject of a great deal of comment and speculation, and no satisfactory solution of the difficulty has been found. All agree. that it is a most remarkable case, and one that would be received with utter incredulity if it were not so amply attested.

Women in Journalism. The inllueuce of women in journalism in the United States is far greater than aipears on the surface. The fact that there are sixty papers and periodicals openly edited and published by women gives but'a, very small fractional idea of theextent of their connection with journalism. The number of female contributers to all classes of papers and magazines is not known to the general public, and not alvvavs even to the publishers, from the fact that in the iiighest class of periodicals they frecjuently adopt male noinsde plume, while many others form part of tho editori d ptaff of influential journals, whe'r as impersonaj contributors, is notecognizedV '
A Duel at Night.
fjenver NeWa.
One of those tragic events lout mark
the narrow strip between civilization
and barbarism occurred at Unama,
New Mexico, last night. The parties to the affair were Charles Reiser and William Whitsou (Tex.), two southern bovs. who paid the forfeit imposed by
duty and pride. Tex held the position of town marshal. Keiser was carrying
a pistol, contrary to the notice? posted around, and Tex made an effort to disarm him. After trying in vain for
several minutes to do thi, he proposed a duel at ten steps. Keiser accepted
the challenge, It was nearly M o'clock
p m. but the night was clear, 'leiling Keiser to be ready Tex stepped oft ten
paces, and turning, the hnug commenced. , At the fir&t fire Keiiser shot Tek almost through the henrt. As Tex stumbled to his knees and fell, lie fired four, times, one ball passing through Reiser's body just above the navel. When we got to them Tex was about dead. Keiser lived half an hour. William Whitson was a native o! Texas a state that has furnished more 1 'border heroes" than any other. Charles Keiser was from Odessa, Missouri. iBoth were young (neither of them more than twenty-five), both warm hearted and true as steel. Duty caused Tex to lose his life, while Keiser lost his through an unyielding pride. Both had many friends, a:ad were really good friends themselves.
President Arthur at Home. During the Is st canvass the late Dis trict Attorney Phelps thus wrote about his partner, the candidate for Vice President: "In person he is over six feet high, but he does not resemble overmuch the pietures the papers have published of him. In these, as in his lithographic ikenesses, he is given au Arthur Sullivan chin, that is, double fold, English, ceefy, and unpleasant. Gen. Arthur has not this actually. His face is full and fair. It is clean shaven, except for the thin gray whiskers.. No one feature is mora marked than another, and yet to look at his placid eyes it is natural anil easy to believe that a greater intellectual force cxints behind their somewhat listless gaze than U at first apparent Being a lawyer, he has that sense of judicial fairness, that poic of manner and. judgment that always combines to make a goad presiding officer of any legislative body.

The Methodist Christian Advocate contains the following: "A story is told in Michigau about one of the members of the. Detroit conference which is too good to keep. He was spendiug a day in the country, and was invited to dine. They had chicken for dinner, of course, much to the grief of a littli! boy in the household, who had lost his favorite hen to rrovide the feas.

Writing Up the Smallest Woman. San Francisco Nosys-le Iter Lucia Zarate, the smallest woman in the world, was born in Mexico. He Eareuts . were peons- that id to say alfrbreeds. When born she was the size of a rat. It was supposed that she was dead, and she was put into a little box that happened to be in the room. Soon, however, she began to scream. She was then taken out of her box, and, except that she was wondn-ouely small, she soon played and ran about like any other child. This iis what the weekly Arizona Miner says, but we can lay over that, Bologna Sauaagiui, the most smallest woiniui in the world, was born In London. Her parents were both over eight feet high.

N. Y.tribfintf. The nassion for diamonds is increasing. Probably at no- previous time in the history ot the American world of fashion were so many of t hese precious stones won! as now or so farge a pro
portion of them oi sucn excellent quality. Here and there the popular
taste may select the fanciful gem the tourmaline or zircon' but the fire
glauciug from the facets of a diamond
has a charm for the multitude not
possessed bv any other gem. Most of
the diamonds coirie torn the Cape of
Qiod Hope, a few from Brazil, and
some from Siberia and Jrsorneo. Tne
disco verv of the African diamonds six"
or seven years ago upset the market,
but it bus since recovered its equilib
rium. Merchants iu this city claim
that imitation diamonds have not ma
terially i mured their busiuess. Such
stones depeud upon the glare of gas
light to avoid detection, as sunlight
readily exposes their real character.
the demand for line stones is increas
ing and for stones finer cut than it is
erenerallv nossible to obtain in Europe.
Many diamonds are brought to America
uot cut m prismatic proportion and
have to be cut over by American work
men to brine: out their real beauty. A
diamond has thirty-six facets ou top
and twenty-six facets below. If the
distance from the "table" to the "color"
is more than one'thiird of the stone its
"life" is lost and it should be recut.
The bottom: of a good diamond tapers
almost to a point in the cutting, whieh is finally taken off. Of all the dia
monds Uie white transluceut Stone
that is free from Haw and perfectly cut
s the most valuable. Pink diamonds
are raf e but .feriar.it. yellow, brownand
jet black diamonds may be easily found
in the market. While a dull tint in
jures a white diamond, a marked color
of red or gireen adds considerably to its
value. Nine-tenths of the blue diamonds are milky, while all the flue
white stones have lust a suggestion of
blue iu their composition". Diamonds cost more t hart, they did ten yeara ago. A perfect brilliant of the first water fs worth about $50; onehalf carat, $175; one carat, $500; two carats, $S0O. Diamonds of a larger size bring whatever may be obtained from the purchaser, as no fixed price can be stated. As a diamond loses nine twentieths of its weight in curtting,the value of a rough diamond may be calculated per carat as one-naif the estimate mentioned. Diamonds imperfect or Shin, are usually reduced to powder or utilized in tools for drilling purposes. Three earrat stones often bring $900. ...... "1 have frequently prid$300 a carat for something flue,;1 said a diamond m erchaut to a'Tribune reporter. "Diamonds are like horses, there's no market value for them. No dealer ever
