. A FATHER KILLED BY AN INSANE DAUGH-
TER.-The Eaton (Michiganl Republican
gives the particulars of truly melancholy
affair which occurred in that town a few
days since. While the family of Levi
Leonard of that place were taking their
breakfast, a daughter who had been con-
sidered insane, rushed into the house, (the
door being open,) and before any of the
family could give the alarm, dealt her father
four blows with a sharp axe on the head,
one passing clear into the brain, breaking
out large piece of the skull. What is
most strange is, that as soon as Mr.. Leon
ard was struck, he jumped up and ran after
the girl with all his might, until some of the
neighbors came and caught her, when he
fell down gasping. He was traced through
the field by the profuse bleeding. He was
taken to the house and soon after became
insensible. He fingered until the next morn
ing, when he expired. The girl is now in
the Marshall Jail, waiting trial.

Patent Alarm Beds.

Those who have visited the fair at the
Crystal Palace must have noticed the patent
alarm bed-a Down East invention. The
purpose of these beds is to prevent a person
from oversleeping himself. or if he does not
wake at the time the alarm is sounded, the
machinery operates in such manner as to
chuck him out upon the floor, much to his
astonshment. For instance, when a person
wishes to retire to bed, he winds up an alarm
clock attached to the bed, and sets it at the
hour he wishes to get up, At the appointed
hour, the alarm sounds, and, if the sleeper is
awakened, he may arise; but if lie does not
awake, the machinery of the clock, operating
on a lever, upscts the bedframe, and the
occupant is tilted out upon the floor. The
bed is worthy the inspection of heads Of
families who have the care Of sluggards and
sleepy heads
We have good story to tell in connection
with one Of those beds (says the Uncle Sam,
a ''Bosting" paper) A friend of ours recently
got married to lovely and interesting
woman. In the house of the brides father,
where the wedding took place, one Of the
"alamn beds had been introduced. The
wedding party was very large, fashionable,
and every thing went off with the utmost
merriment, the entertainment being of the
most generous kind At length, the feasting
over, and the hour Of midnight past, the
guests began to retire, and the lights to grow
dim in the house. The old folks limited
gently about sleep, and the bride and her
lord grew weary and impatient. 1t was
easily seen that they wished to be alone and
the lady was accordingly escorted to her
chamber, to which bissful haven the blushing
bridegroom soon followed her.
We will not attempt to draw a picture of
what ensued but suffice it to say that while
the interesting pair were in the midst of one
ofther most interesting tete-a-teteS a clicking
was heard and the astonished couple, the
next instant, found themselves launched on
the floor in the middle Of the room, fast
locked in each others arms, holding on like
good fellows, in momentary expectation Of
an earthquake. They survived the shock,
however. The fact Of it was, the alarm bed
had been assigned them for their nuptial
couch, and the brides youngest brother the
mischieyous devil, Tom, had taken the liberty
to set the alarm at what he said he thought
would be the "auspicious hour" He got
his ears boxed the next morning, and our
friend W. d. S. has been suspicious Of alarm
beds ever since.

The beauty, and purity, and redeeming
virtues ola female consist not in the shortness
of her dress, not in the strength other garter,
not in the deicacy of her ancle; but in the
smiling face the full black eye-the rosy lip
the dimpled cheek-etc, etc. Man, in the
beastiness of his nature, has accused woman
of many things of which she is innocent 1t
is not true that she paints when she pleases,
or goes into a dreadful "sick" at pleasure.
1t is not true that she is compelled to hire
cooper to hoop her up when she desires to
appear in fashionable circles. 1t is not true
that she means ''d-n him." every time she
SAYS ''NIy dear" to her husband. x
These things deny upon authority which
cannot be doubted. But 90 on. Pursue
persecute the fairer portion Of humanity
heap your indignites upon woman's head

THE CoNDITGoN OF THE SOUND Dues
QUEsrfoN.-The following from the Augs-
burg 1Jlgeo'cine Zeiteng, a leading Constitu-
tional Journal, we have every reason to believe
embraces pretty true statement Of the
actual position of this Government on the
question:
BERLIN, Nov. 25.-In regard to the Sound
Due Conference, it is stated here that
Denmark has for the present, deferred the
negotiation, because on the part of America
a protest had been made in advance
against any conclusion which prove adverse
to American interests. 1t is also stated,
from recent communications from Washing
ton, that the Government Of the United
States position in regard to the Sound Dues
question is, Of late, decidedly more deter
mined than it has appeared for many weeks
past. At Washington, it was positively
stated that the Cabinet Of President Pierce
was determined under all circumstances, to
persist in the demand that American vessels
have the right to pass the Sound without
asking permission therefor from Denmark,
and much less to acquire the permission by
the payment of toll.

OBTMNINa GLYcERINE.-A paper on mani
ufacturing glycerine and its uses, was read
by G. f. Wilson. The manner in which it
is prepared is by placing a piece of common
fat in a quantity of super-saturated steam;
the fat is decomposed, and resolves itself into
two substances, viz, an acid and glycerlne.
The latter having taste like sugar, is appli-
cable to the cure of burns, rheumatism, and
ear diseases; it is a substitute for cod-liver
oil, and also for the spirits of wine; also for
the preservation Of flesh; and can be applied
to photography and preserving animals in
their natural colors.

Novel Surr.-From the Epening Bulletin
we learn that one Emma Gilbert, a child
aged but thirteen years and five months,
brings an action against Alonzo Gilbert, foF
divorce, on the grounds that she gave no
legal consent:
1t appears by the complaint, that in last
September, Gilbert iduced this little girl to
90 with him to house at the Mission
Dolores and there the ceremony otmarrlage
was performed by some person whom she
does not know, and the marriage afterwards
consummated. Her mother discovered these
circumstances in October, and, as the little
Girl could not tell by whom she WAS married,
and could show no marriage certificate, she,
the mother, persuaded Gilbert to have the
ceremony regularly performed.
The mother now alleges that it was under
the coercion Of shame she gave her consent
to the last marriage and on this ground suit
is brought for a divorce.

NJ. Montigny French Consul in Chinaf
says that the Chinese mix arsenic freely with
the tobacco which they smoke, and those
who do so are described as 'stout fellows,
with lungs like a blacksmiths bellows, and
rosy as cherubs" This statement has called
out a letter from DR.. Ionda, who announces
that some years ago, in the course Of a dis
cussion at the Academy of Medicine, on the
agents to be employed to cure tubercular
consumption, he told the assembled doctors
that he had found but one means of combat
inc this dreadful disease viz: the smoking of
arsenic, and the doctor re-aflirms his COM
mendations of that remedy.
