A KEY TO A FINANCIAL MYSTERY.
The New York Register says: "Only a
few days since, modern chemist took a
thousand dollars in gold eagles, and put
them through the crucible; the next day
he deposited the bullion in the assay
Office, and the day after received "bar"
marked 81 ,0G0."
The plain English of this is-''Some
other metallic substance can be combined
with gold, and such combination will
stand the assay tests of our minis" The
secret science of doing this was discov-
cred in France, and communicated to
this country. early last summer. The
case cited above is only one of repeated
experiments made, with like results, at
the assay Office in this city, and at the
mint in Philadelphia. As the same assay
tests are used in European mints, the
same results would undoubtedly follow.
Hence, we irresistibly come to the
conclusion that operators, bankers, or
bullion dealers having their headquarters
in France, are engaged in this aPprccid-
tioa of the precious metals.
Although this alleged bullion will
stand the usual tests, yet it is quite GER
tain that time, sea, and other influences
will make their mark upon coin made
of it.
The Register very tritely observes
while old fogy chemists fill sinccure
Offices on fat salaries, modern chemists are
playing such pranks as these. - Womp-
sons Reporter.

BUCKEYE CLOTHES WASHER.

Hon. CHAs MASON, the Commissioner of
Patents, has very recently said the principle on
which this Washing Machine is constructed,
is the only one for effective and thorough wash
ing of all the hundreds in the Patent Office.
This is high recommendation, but the praises
lavished upon these machines by the tens of
thousand persons using them in Ohio, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania, New York and other Eastern and North
cru States, are ofmuch greater value.
Ten or a dozen shirts, or their equivalent in
other clothes, may be washed in from three to
six minutes according to the state of the clothes
and degree of preparation,) without as much
injury TO them as in the ordinary washing by
hand-a button or hook and eye being rarely
if ever broken oif-the process being nearer to
the working by hand than any other. 1t is
very substantial and durable-simple in con-
struction and easy to work, and has attached
to it an admirably working and efficient

sequence of the murder of Edmund

becoming known, the widow Of Mr..
Russell endeavored to escape to the
Unital States, accompanied by man
named Neill Beaten, whom she had al
ready married, although her late hus-
band had been dead but a few days. The
coroner Immediately issued a warrant for
their apprehension.
The investigation proves that the man
Beaton had formerly been engaged to do
some carpentering work about the house,
but had been discharged by Russell, in
consequence Of the latter observing him
to indulge in improper familiarities with
his wife. Shortly after Beaton's dis
missal the husband was taken suddenly
i'll and soon died, his death being at
tended with constant vomiting and other
symptoms of poisoning He had scarce
ly become cold in his grave ere his
widow married Beaton. On the body of
Russell being disintered the contents of
the stomach showed the presence of ar

committed for trial.

LAST LETTER FROM SIR JOHN FRANK
IIN.-The following letter from Sir John
Franklin is believed to the last received
from his pen. Ii was never published
before in America:
Whale Fish Island, Bay of Disco, |
"11th July, 1915.
"MY DEAR SISTER The appearance,
dress and manners Of the Esquimaux be-
speak that care is taken of them by the
government. Several of them can read
the Bible with ease, and I am told that
when the families are all collected, the
children are obliged to attend school
daily. I looked into one of the huts ar
ranged with seats for this purpose.
When the minister comes over from Dis
co, he superintends the school; at other
times the children are taught by half
caste Esquimaux. How delightful it is
to know that the Gospel is spreading far
and wide, and will do so till its blessed
truths are disseminated through the
globe. Every ship in these days ought
to 60 forth to strange LANDS bearing
among its oficersa missionary spirit; and
may God grant such spirit on board
this ship. 1t is my desire to cultivate
this feeling, and I am encouraged to hope
that we have among us some who will
aid me in this duty. We have divine
service twice on each Sunday, and
never witnessed more attentive con-
gregation than we have. May the seed
sown fall upon good ground, and bring
forth fruit abundantly to Gods honor
and glory. Ever your affectionate
brother,

FARMERS, NoTE THIs.--In cloudy
morning, it is matter ofimportance
to the farmer to know whether it will
be sunshiny or showery in the after
noon. If the ants have cleared their
holes nicely, and piled the dirt up
high, it seldom fails to bring clear
day to the farmer. Spider-uebs will
be very numerous about the tops OF
the grass and grain some cloudy
mornings; and fifty years observation
has shown the writer of this that these
little weather-guessers seldom fail in
their predictions Of fair day.-Eng-

A circumstance of a queer chsrr

A circumstance Of a queer charac-
ter recently occurred in Dock street,
Philadelphia An ol topper had, by
some means, procured denljohn of
whiskey, and, after swiggiug enough
of it to have about as much as he
could carry inside, he swung the bulk
Of it in bag across bis shoulder, and
commenced his devious course home
ward. Near the Exchange, two fel-
lows, who we're prompted by the love
Of mischief aud fondness for whis-
key, came Up behind the bearer Of
the bag, and one Of them operated
upon the latter with a stone, while
the other held bucket and caught
the ardent as it escaped through the
damaged demIjohn. After complete
ly tapping the old fellows cherished
prize, the rogues made off with their
bucket of whiskey.
