To KEEP Morris FROM CLoTHEs.-Nothing
moths dislike so much as being disturbed. The
clothes, &C., should be taken out of the linen
bag, "a pillow-case tied or sewed at the open
end is best,) and well shaken once month.
A bag of clothes left mistaken is like an un.
disturbed fox covert, where there are plenty
of rabbits, to fox. He wont go way till he
is forced to decamp. by being hunted up.
Moths can't bear tallow, and if curtains, &C.,
are put awav for time, should recommend

scum of the Jardin des Plants they told me

The other day was asked what to do with

THE CRoPs.--Accordiug to the returas re-
ceived at The Census Bureau at Washington,
the crops in all the Northern and Northwest
ern States are immensely heavy this year In
Pennsylvania they are represented to be nearly
if not quite double those of last year, and 10
other States thy will probably be correspond
iuply heavy. THIS fully comedies with what
we have been led to expect from the accounts
which have reached us from other Sources
The census returns, however. come in very
slowly, and it will probably be some time be-
fsre we ahtll bs able TO learn The full extent Of
our agricultural prosperity.

THE Great Eastern sailed Friday afternoon
for Halifax and Milford Haven, in accordance
with the announcement of her consignees.
She takes out ITO passengers--25 of whom go
to Halifax only-bnt no freight. During The day
two attachments. one against the ship and one
against Cox, the wel.remembered steward
were issued. The one against the ship was
upon claim of S270 for supplies, and the one
against Cox was upon claim for 1884 III, also
for supplies. She was bonded by her consig.
nees to meet all Judgments against her, and
the sheriff seized poor Cox's goods in payment
of his Indebtedness.

netss was communicated by his servant to
the cook, who soon circulated it on the berths
deck among the men, who cursed him and
all of his kin.
His servant came ON board Of the hulk
where the men were lodged, the evening
when the captain was to be married. Cra-
zy Joe lthe name the boy was known by
met him at the gangway, and asked intel
ligently if the captain would be married
that evening, and where? The servant
gave him the information he desired, and
went about his business.
That night, while the captain was un-
dressing, he was seized by the threat and
dragged to the bridal bed.
Look, fair lady, on me- said Crazy
Joe, but do not scream, or | will kill you.
Look on me /; hold within my grasp
devil who delights in cruelty-a merciless
fend who has scourged the backs Of hum
dreds of brave men-a ruffian who has
robbed me of my reason hold him with
in the grasp of death at the very moment
his black soul thought itself within the
reach of bliss. Monster! look upon your
lady--think a moment Of the heaven Of
earthly JOY almost within your reach--then
think of me, poor crazy Joe and of the
hell to which send you! Die, wretch,
die |"
When the alarm was given, the stran-
gled body of the captain was found lying
along side of the bridal bed, but the maniac
who killed him was never recognized after
wards. He belonged to Cornwall, and
probably found shelter from pursuit in the
mines until the excitement passed away.
The lady stated at the time, and many
years afterwards, that the attack of the
maniac was so sudden and silent that she
knew nothing of it until the curtains were
pushed aside and she felt the pressure OF
the captains body bent over the edge OF
the bed, Joe held his victim around the
neck with the right hand and turned him
from side to side as easily as if he had been
a child, while the forefnger and thumb Of
the left hand grasped her own throat, ready
to extinguish her life if she attempted tC
raise an alarm.
His face was pale and deathlike, his
eyes stared, but were mctionless and ev-
cry word he uttered seemed to issue from
the very depths of his soul. The captains
looks were terrible beyond description
death left the impress Of ferocity upon hi.
darkened features. How the maniac en-
tered or left the room she never knew his
departure was as noiseless as his entrance
So paralyzed was she with fear, that ar
hour elapsed before she could muster eour-
age to call for help, but she thanked God,
when the captains cruel character became
generally known ashore, that she had been
rescued from bis alliance.

improvement.

From the natural endownients Of mail,
as well as from bis physical constitution,
every refecting mind at once concludes
that at his formation he was destined by
the Greater for improvement. Looking
upon him in the ineipient stages uf exist
ence, without previous assurance Of the
priceless gem of intellect, which should in
after years be discovered, or Of tile hidden
germ, which enlivened by the genial glow
of cultivation, wond shoot forth with rich
est foliage, and unfolding buds yielding
fruit for the support Of many important
minds, we should be forced to ccnclude
that the being before Us, iu all its lapless-
ness and Inconsistencies, possessed far less
manifestations of intellect, and was 10 fact
far less hopeful than the most ferocious
beast that wildly prowled through the thick
forest for its prey. But unprepossessing
as is the first view he rapidly approximates
the acme of lovliness and intellectual worth.
Furnished with reason as the efficient cause;
for basis, Judgment with its power Of dis
elimination, conscience as figilant rnonii
tor, and ambition to urge him forward ir
his career we view man as being consti.
tutHd for unrivaled advancement. Had
the Creator given to his human creation an
abundant store-house Of thought, and left
it dormant, with no vivifying principles, no
propelling energy to call forth the latent
powers of mind, they might have slum-
bered on inhumed in the labyrinths Of iul
tellect, till the wreck of worlds, unimproved,
and consequently unproductise Of good.
Then would he have been shorn Of his
strength, and the object of his creation un-
ANSWERED.. But man stands forth as the
noblest work of creation. We behold him
possessed of an all viviiying principle
which sends forth thought, and the whole
soul borne upward On imagination's piniona
| contemplates the vcrsatilities Of nature,
giving scope to all his energies, and at once
bringing into action all those elements Of
his nature, which when improved and cul-
tivated, are susceptible of such enlargement
as render every effort to bring them to the
height of cultivation unsuccessful. Each
attempt but enlarges the germ, and places
within it an expansive power enabling il to
transmount present obstacles, and reach
forward to more spacious fields Of investigs-
ton. The powers of mind are incompre-
hensible and illimitable. When every pos
sble exertion has been made by one mind,
in treating upon any subject, another with
the same natural elements, will bring out
new train of thought, progressing en-, and
yet onward, till mind and thought have ON
nipotent energy imported, and deep inves-
tigation but generates intellectual strength.
and all is lost in the vast ocean Of mystery

Mistakes of Physicians.

WENArcHEE GOLD MINEs-We learn
from Mr.. Null, who arrived recently from
the Wenatchee gold region, that the
miners have nearly all left for want of pro-
visions. Mr.. Null has been mining on Pc
shasta Creek, tributary Of the Wenatchee.
He informs US that miners are making from
50 so to 81 per day by pauning, and that
great need was felt for want of proper i'm
elements. When he left, (Oct. 8O), there
was no snow on the fats, but considerable
on the mountains. All prospects which
had been made in the gulches produced
good color. He purposes to return in the
spring. Mr. Boutwell,, who has just re-
turned from the same mining region, ex-
'hibited to us several specimens, some of
which weighed 81 so each, Mr.. Both
well intends returning shortly. From these
facts it becomes evident that there is gold
on the Wenatchee, for all who desire to
work in order to procure it.-POrtIaHd Ad'
rcriiSer, Nor. 9.
