A TENDER CONSCIENCE.—A celebrated liquor importer
in Boston, United States, recently had his pocket-book,
containing a large sum of money, taken from his pocket
while entering church. A. few days subsequently he
received the pocket-book through the post (postage
unpaid) accompanied with a note, in which the writer
stated that, after spending the money, he discovered to
his utter horror that he had been making use of funds
obtained in, the infamous liquor traffic. He therefore
returned the pocket book, and would do the same by the
money should he be able to lay his hands on it.—New

SUICIDE BY OIL OF BITTER ADNIONDS.—An inquest was
held on Wednesday morning by Mr. Bedford, the coroner
for Westminster, on the body of Mrs. Ani Perkins, aged
sixty-three years, who resided at No. 137, Stanley-street,
Eccleston7square, Pimlieo. She was reported on a medical
certificate to have died of pulmonary disease ; but the
registrar, Mr. Jordan, made further enquiries, from which
it appeared that the deceased, on Sunday morning, drank
some essential oil of bitter almonds during her daughter's
absence at church, and she was found dead in her room,
with the door locked. The coroner commented on the
want of observation, to say the least, of the medical
attendant who 'had signed the certificate. The verdict of
the jury was, that the deceased destroyed herself in a fit
of temporary insanity.
APPLICATION OF THE SCREW TO LOCOMOTIVE ENGINES.
—A curious project is recommended to the railway public
in Captain Moorsom's report on the adaptation of the
screw to locomotive engines for the ascent of steep gradients
on railways. It seems feasible as well as curious, and con-
sists in the application of an Archimedean screw to a rail-
way. Why should not such a screw, working between
rollers, be as powerful to impel a train as to
impel a ship working only on the resistance
Theidea is unquestionably good, and

railroads, and the expense of working them in hilly eoun-
