PAINFUL TRAGEDY IN ILLNoIs-A Jealous
Lover Stdbs Physician Fatally and then
Commits Siicide.-On Tuesday night of last
week, DR.. Bachman of Rock Grove, H., was
stabbed by one Conrad Baker, it is thought
fatally, under the following circumstance
Baker had been working the farm belonging
to Widow Spangler, and was living, it seems,
upon terms of improper intimacy with the
widow. He had for some time had suspi-
cions and jealousies of certain neighbor,
who paid, he thought, too much attention
to the widow. On Tuesday night last,
Baker, who slept up stairs, heard some one
down stairs with the widow, and supposing
it to be the person alluded to, rushed dewn,
and finding a man with her in a position
which admitted of no explanation, at once
commenced an attack. The person attacked,
who proved to be DR.. Bachman, defended
himself with chair, but Baker stabbed him
in several places, one Of the stabs severing
one of his Kidneys.
Baker was arrested and lodged in Jail, and
on Thursday night, tore up one of the sheets
to his bed and hung himself from the graf
ings over his cell door. He was found dead
in the morning.

Tom Hoods Novel Of ryiney Han.

It is well to be always suspicious when the
critics pronounce as decidedly failure any
work of man of genius which seemed out
of his usual routine Of thought, fJr the inn
putation put upon such one is usually ad-
Judged from the greater success Of his
peculiar talent. It is refreshing also to come
upon an obscure work of well-known
author, and as we read, see him almost anew
When Tom Hood wrote his Tyiney Hall, II

novelty of late years to research old cata-
logues for ii, or seek it on the shelves of
long-established circulating libraries II

sellers, and few remembered that the genial
and comic poet and the laughing wit had
ever contrived thoroughly organized novel;
In spite of the slurs of contemporary criti-
cism upon it, our present house thought it
worth while, recently, to give it the advant-
ages Of O good modern dress and | recently
sat down to read it with all the zest that
could be awakened in prospect of seeing the
fayorite Hood in new light.
1t must be confessed that Hood was too
much Of a wit for the best of continuous
composition, and book of several hundred
pages brings him out atvariance with artistic
propriety in many chapters. And yet TIyI-
neg Hal is very pleasant reading, for how
could it be otherwise, and own the author
ship of such man? Take the volume and
sit down to enjoy yourself, and if you have
liking for Hoodism, you can not fail to be
pleased. There is pathos in It, not un-
worthy of him who wrote the Bridge of
Sighs. There is humor and a sparkling wit,
that reminds one of his best comic verses.
There are pithy sentences that come
amazingly near the finest sententiousness.
There are apt illustrations that 90 the point,
in manner to crafty the lover of such
things; and he who has relish for the
grotesque and whimsical, will find, at odd
turns, just the humor he likes to encounter.
One can even pardon the sly twistings when
a pun enticed him from artistic reetitude, for
Hood s mind, ever on the stretch for like
surprises, had the happy faculty ofselecting,
a trouble that most inveterate punsters are
not prone to take. 4yIney Hall should never
be ignored by the friend of Thomas Hood.

The Scientific american, referring to the

A New York school commissioner, with
leather lungs and cast-iron head, may insist
that q child who has been boxed up six hours
in school shall spend the next four hours

painful labor, the child may succeed in re-

with the power of Its brain a. exhausted, it
is out of the question for it to really master

the system is to enfeeble the intellect even
more than the body. We never see o little

or knitting her brow over them at seven or
eight o'clock in the evening, without won
dering that our citizens do not arm them
selves at once with carving-knives, pokers,

and chase out the managers of our common

DEATH OF DANISH DRAMAT1sT.-Johan
Ludwig Heiberg, a well-knOwn Danish
dramatist and physician, born in Cophenha-
gen, December IA, 1871, died in Ringster,
August 25, 1860. His father, Peter Andreas
Heiberg, was an eminent Danish dramatist
and political writer, and his mother wrote
series of admirable novels on Danish society.
He studied the drama at Paris and philoso-
ply at Berlin, where he became disciple of
Hegel, wrote a number of philosophical,
poetical and dramatic works, which have
won him place among the most distin-
guished literary men of Denmark. Ameng
his most remarkable productions are his
lyrical poems and his comedies and dramas,
which latter have been translated into Ger
man. His wife, Johanna Luisi Patger, sur
wives him. Previous to her marriage she was
an actress-a profession which in Denmark
is generally filed by ladies of good family,
and which is not considered as derogatory
to the dignity of lady as it is in some other
countries. ral

a MECHANICAL REPoRTER - A Machi,as
for Registering SoundS.-The Able Laborde
has invented an apparatus for registering
sounds much less costly than any hitherto
made. The invention is interesting, since il
is step toward the invention of machines
which shall gradually advance from register
ing sounds to registering syllables and words.
AS soon as the wit of man has invented a
machine as delicate as the human ear, we
shall have reporting machines. The idea is
certainly far less astonishing than that of
the Daguerreotype before its invention.

there one learns to appreciate Paris and to
criticize its manners From the Rue Mont

in the evening, are seated men and women,
before small round tables, slipping their cup
of coffee, their glass of beer, or their sherbet.
Cast your eyes on the articles consumed,
and you may generally determine the class
of society to which the consumer apper-

The Semi-annlaI Miracle Of the Liquefac-
tion Of the Blood of st. Jannrius at Ma
A foreign correspondent of the New York
Herald says in recent letter:
The first liquefaction commences on the
first Saturday in May, and is repeated dur
ing the seven following days. The second
is from the 10th to the 26th of September.
1t is impossible to give an idea of the anx-
iety with which the miracle was expected
on this occasion. The church was crowded
and the streets leading to it full at an early
hour in the morning, the people repeating
Aves and Paternosters for the promised
miracle. No gem of fabulous value could be
guarded with more jealous care than is be-
slowed upon this. AS the priest held the
phial up to sight suppressed exclamation
of awe and veneration was heard from the
whole multitude. AT first it had the ap-
pearance of hard, dry substance, like clot-
ted blood or any thing else. 1t was moved
slowly backward and forward, and re-
peatedly set ON the altar-those persons who
were so supremely happy as to be near, kiss
ing the phial with the greatest fervor. At
last, after about two hours of masses and
genuhexions without number, the sub
stance inside appeared to have changed its
nature, swelling up into q pasty material
Loud cries of joy resounded from all sides,
and few moments later, when it seemed to
boil, changing its color to bright red fluid,
the miracle was complete, and loud acclama-

Activity OF the African Slave-Traie--
Thirty Thousand Negroes LANDED at Cuba
During the Present Year, Oint Stock
Companies All Over the Island.
A correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Havana, October l6, gives the
following striking picture of the activity of
the slave-trade:
Certainly not within the last decade of
years has the African slave-trade been in so
active and prosperous state as it has been
in during the present year. Up to the Both
ultimO there had been at least 10000 AZ
ricans, including those taken to Key West
and Nassau, landed on this island. There
is scarcely town of any size in Cuba in
which there is not a joint-stock African
Slave-trade Company, ana although the
chief slave-traders are very well known to
us in this city, yet so cunningly do they
manage their affairs, that it would be mat
ter Of great difficulty to convict any one of
them, or any of their fellow shareholders, in
a court of justice. | have, however, heard
the names of many of these latter, who move
in respectable circles of society in your city,
in Boston, Portland, and in Europe. l for
bear sending you any of these names, be-
cause It would be possibly matter of some
little difficulty to sustain plea Of justif-
cation were an action for libel brought in
consequence of their publication. 1t is COM
monty reported here that the steamship
Granada will arrive here shortly from the
coast of Africa with cargo of Africans.
The slave-traders have various deposits for
Africans in the numerous islands in the Ba-
hamas, whence the Africans are brought to
this island, few at time, in the many
coasting vessels trading to every port in
Cuba, and these buzales las the new Africans
are termed) all having the papers requisite
for them to possess, and having been taught
few words of Spanish, it is difficult to de-
tect them from Africans landed q 'long time
ago."
