A piece is going the rounds of the
newspapers stating the great mortality Of
stone cutters from the dust that gets into
their lungs. Now, no man need ever let
that kill him. A damp sponge, fitted as
a muzzle over the mouth and nose, and
kept in place like an old lady's spectacles
by string, is complete preventive. A
friend from the country assures us that he
has used it several years in threshing
wheat, oats, and clover in close barn
with the greatest benefit to all his hands

A Modern Belle.
She sits in fashionable parlor,
An&rocks in her easy chair;
She is clad in silks and satins,
And jewels are in her hairi
She winks, and giggles and simpers,
And simpers, and giggles, and winks,
And though she talks but little,
'Tis good deal more than she thinks.
She lies a-bed in the morning,
Till nearly the hour Of noon,
Then comes down swapping and snarling,
Because she was called so soon.
Her hair is still in papers,
Her cheeks still fresh with paint;
Remains of her last nights blushes,
Before she intended to faint
She doats upon men unshaven,
And men with flowing hair;
She's eloquent over moustaches,
They give such foreign air
She talks Of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon,
And if a morse was to meet her,
She would sink away in swoon,
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are 50 very white,
Her jewels so very heavy,
And her head so very light;
Her color is made of cosmetics,
(Though this she will never own }
Her body's made mostely of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with fellow,
Who swells with foreign air
He marries her for her money,
She marries him for his-hair
One of the best matches
Both are well mated in life;
She's got afool for her husband,
He's got fool for wife

The Grand Jury made special rre-
sentiment this morning in relation to the
Rink murder, embracing all the evidence
fastening crime upon Spring, which is
deemed convincing proof of the inno-
cence of Jerome Frekert, arrested on suspi-
cion of murder, and his discharge is recon-
mended. The decision of the court upon
the motions for new trial aud arrest of
judgment in the case of John Capie and
Carson Emmons for the murder Of Loo
ham, was pronounced by Judge Allison
oyerruling both prisoners. The Judge
then asked why sentence of death should
not be passed. Their counsel read their
papers-each protesting innoccncc-that
of Emmons stating that Capie told him
that Looham pushed up against and struck
him, and that he stabbed Looham. SEN
tence of death was then pronounced by
Allison.

SPpIT-RAPP1EG MAoH1NEs.-We learn
from the Journal of Commerce that the
spirit-rapping imposture is made to oper-

The latest method of etlecting the object

The Precious Nretnls I'm England.


The London papers received by the
steamer Pacific announce the arrival Of
the long-expected steam propeller Great
Britain, from Australia, at LIVERPOOL
AS she sailed from Melbourne on January
4, her market and emigration news is no
later than before received Her passage
was Sc days. She carried to England on
freight 103,00 ounces Australian gold,
and 100000 in the hands of passengers,
making together, about $3,000,000.-
Among the passengers who retuned home
by this opportunity were several very sue
cessful adventurers. One brought $75,-
900 made in public house at Melbourne;
two others $3.50, 900, made by keeping a
circus; carter, $1,000; and one man
on board had anugget Of pure gold which
he picked up himself, weighing eight
pounds averdupois, worth 1850.
Besides the large sum brought by the
steamer, several sailing vessels arrived at
London the week preceding the sailing OF
the steamer, from Australia, with ST.
$4,000 in gold, and the West-India pac-
ket carried in $915,000 in silver. The
exports of the week were about 81 ,20o,-
900 in the aggregate, Silver continues
to go to China and British India, but at
tention is called by the papers to the very
decided falling off in the gold export to
the continent.
The excitement in the Australian trade
and emigration in Great Britain continues,
and it is likely to receive an additional i'm
petus from the golden accounts and prac-
teal results brought by the Great Bri-
tain and other vessels now arriving from
Melbourne and Sydney.

CoMMoNwEALrH vs.. EDWIN CocKE.-An in-
formal examination was Ind yesterday before
Mayor Mayo relative to two negotiable notes
which Cooke had passed as genuine obligations
but which were declared to be- forgeries by the
gentleman whose name appeared each as
drawer. The first note produced was for the
sum of $l65 90, dated May IL, lele it purport,
cd to have been drawn By John E. Spindle, ia
favor of Edwin Cooke. aud was made payable
four months after date. Upon the note being
shown Mr.. Spindle, by the Mayor, that gentle-
man asserted that he had not executed it-or
in other words. that it was forgery. He ad :
mttsd that he had had transactions with Cooke.
and had given him negotiable notes, but they had
all been paid at maturity.
MIR. Edwin Robinson was then swo.n. Fl o
deposed follows 81 find a note Of this descrip-
ton on the books of John A. Lancaster &c Co..
credited to Mr.. Cooke. 1t was credited to his
account in lumber transaction. Cooke knows
this, as he also knows that it has been credited
10 him." Subsequently, Mr.. r. replied ia nu-
swer to question, that the note had been pro-
tested at maturity. aud had been taken up by
himself.
Another note, purporting to have bsen drawn
by AIR. Spindle, for the sum of %. dated Au-
gust, l849, and payable sixty days after date WAS
then shown that gentleman, when he likewise
pronoun ced it forgery and remarked as follows:
'rhe first time I saw it, Mr.. Avis presented it
to me on my rold up home. 1t is not my wri-
ting was not resident of Richmond ia Au-
gust, 1919. then resided in Goochland county

Mr.. r. Whitfield was thea sworn. Hs do
posed as follows: The endorsation of my son on
she back of the note is genuine. The note came
to maturity but was not paid. Cooke having
turned out to be worthless protest was deemed
useless. 1t was not, therefore. protested. The
note was taken up by my soa. Cooke afterwards
paid S75 on the note. aud secured the balance by

BALTIMORE, June 40 +. M.
= A case of more than ordinary interest has
been engaging the attention of the Superior
court In this city for some days. 1t is suit
~ light by Mr.. VIM. C. Wright against the
BIZ. James G.. Hummer, popular and well
Rekn Presbyterian Minister of the Gospel, resi-
bent at Baltimore. Mr.. Edwin Wright, brother
of the plaintiff. died some mouths ago, and wied
nearly all his estate to charitable purposes, con-
stituting Rev. Mr.. Hammer his Executor.
1t seems that during the past ten years the
deceased donated for benevolent objects, through
Mr.. Hammer, about one hundred thousand dol
lars. The complaint set up is that Mr.. Hammer
exercised an undue influence over the mind of
Mr.. Wright in his last moments, inducing him to
bequeath his money in the manner above named,
allowing only scanty support to the widow, and
scarcely anything (only 5000 per year) to the
brother, VIM. C. Wright. 1t is also alleged that
the deceased, at the time of making the will,
vas not ia sane, sound condition of mind
A bout $4,000 was left to various benevolent in
siitutions. and only $500 per year to the wi
dow.
The case was given TO the jury yesterday NOR
hing, who, having been locked up until late this
afternoon. agreed upon verdict, the nature of
which is not exactly known, but pretty we'll un-
derstood to be for upsetting the will. The fact
shat the moral standing of the Rev. MFR. Hammer
was somewhat involved in the result of this trial
has given it peculiar interest. The deceased.
