citing Scene a. an EAeeutiOn.

The New Pork World relates the fol-
lowing incident in connection with the
execution in that city of Frank Ferris,
for the murder of his wife:
By some oversight on the part Of the
officer who had the children Of the con,
deHned nan in charge, the duty Of
taking them away from the Tombs be-
fore the execution, was neglected. The
result of the oversight was one that many
Of tboss who heard whas occurred as the
execution was going on, will, perhaps,
never forget Just as the last words of
the eulprit had been pronounced, the cry
Of child, long and piercing at first, then
in tones of terror, screaming out, "Fa-
ther, oh my father resounded through
the halls Of the new prison. Many a
strong man turned pale at the sound,
and many a lip quivered that perhaps
never moved from emotion IN such scenes
before The cry was that of the little
boy Billy" who if he could not see
dangling in the air the form Of him whom
he used to call father, at least was made
aware BY some means or another of the
terrible scene outside of the walls.
Whether the last earthly voice heard by
the dying father was that soul-rsnding
cry of his child no one can tell. Let US
hone that his ear was deafened to all
worldly sounds before that cry went up
with such horror blended in its echoes
as to make strong men quake and trem-
Bile with dismay. .l srraI .a.8l ie

The Wills Of the Lost.

FROM inc ". ". Dee.J
We have already noticed the opening,
in the Second District Court, of the sue
cessions of two celebrated keepers Of
fashionable bagnios in this city, known
by the names of Jenny King" and
"Bianca Robbins" said to have been
lost on the Evening Star. Both have
left large property, and in the case OF
the latter it will be remembered that DIR.
Follin, as agent, deposited in the court,
to the credit Of the succession, no less
than $1,000 in cash. Thus it would seem
that these women have been wonderfully
successful in enrichiHg themselves from
the purses of the profigate; to the ruin
of how many dissolute young men and
women will probably never be known
this side of the bar of future accounta-
bility, of the existence of which the BIZ
BILE asures US. ..r.
The succession Of another of these lost
women" Miss Flora Burdell lost,
perhaps, in more senses than one, sup
posed to have gone down on the i'll fated
Evening Star-has just been opened
here by James McCracken, who petitions
for the registry and execution of her will,
alleging that /" deceased left nuncupa-
tive testament, by public act, by which
she appointed him her testamentary,
executor and administrator other estate.
In codicil to her will the deceased says:
my name is Flora Burdell. | am a
native of New York Ihave no forced
heirs, except my mother, whose name is
Mrs. William Caul6eld, now residing in
Yorkville, in the State of New York. 1t
10 my wish and desire that Miss Hattie
Carson should become legetee to all my
household furniture, fixtures and per-
sonal property, now contained in my
house on Customhouse street, in the Sec
ond District of this city, on condition
that she, the said Hattie Carson, shall
pay or cause TO be paid the balance due
to Miss Nellie Otis on said furniture
and fixtures; and after she shall have
paid said Indebtedness, now amounting
to the sum of $24, 900, she shall pay or
cause to be paid the further sum OF $l3,-
600 to my mother, that being the amount
Of cash already paid by me on account
of said furniture, fixtures, etc, all more
fully detailed in the bill Of sale Of the
same from the said Nelly Otis to me.
And ! constitute and appoint James
McCracken, Of this city, my executor of
this will or codicil, II is not my desire
to affect or alter MY previous will made
in relation to the properly out of the
State. And | wish said James Nc
Cracken TO collect from Miss Hattie
Carson the above sum of $4,000, and
remit the same to my said mother when
collected. FLnR4 bpRRElk

chase money for such animals may be
deducted from the gross income Of the
farm.
3. No deduction can be made by the
farmer. for the value of services rendered
by his minor children, whether he actu.
ally pays for such services or not If his
adult children work for him and receive
compensation for their labor, they are to
be regarded as other hired laborers in
determining his income.
4. Money paid for labor, except such
as is used or employed in domestic SER
vice, or in the production Of articles con-
sumed in the family of the producer,
may be deducted.
8. No deduction can be allowed in any
case for the case of unproductive labor.
If house servants are employed portion
of the time in productive labor, such as
the making of butter and cheese for sale,
a proportionate amount of wages paid
them may be deducted.
6. Expenses for ditching AMI clearing
new land are plainly expenses for per
manent improvements, and not deduct
able. - ~ A@@
I. The whole amount expended for
fertilizers applied during the year to the
farmers lands may be deducted, but no
deduction is allowed for fertilizers pro-
duced on the farm. The cost of seed
purchased for sowing and planting may
be deducted.
s.. If a person fells timber standing,
the profits are to be ascertained by esti-
mating the value of the land after the
removal of the timber, and from the sum
thus obtained deducting the estimated
value of the land on the lst day of JAN
uary, 1868, or on the day Of purchase,
since that date.
9. Where no repairs have been made
by the tax payer upon any building owned
by him during the preceding five years,
nothing can be deducted for repairs made
during the year for which his income is
estimated
10. A farmer should make return Of
all his produce sold within the year, but
mere executory contract for sale is
not sale; delivery, either actual or con.
structive, is essential The criterion by
which to judge whether a sale is com
plete or not, is to determine whether the
vender still retains in that character a
right over the property where lost or de-
stroyed, upon which of the parties, in
the absence of any other relation be.
tween them than that of the vender,
would the loss fall.

The Law Of Presidential succ ession.

March lst 1892, Congress passed an
act to provide for every case of vacancy,
both of the Offices of the President and
Vice President In Story's Commenta-
ries there is suggestion of the possible
unconstitutionality of the act, but there
seems to be little doubt that it will stand
the test AS is generally known, the
law provides that the President pro tenn
pore of the Senate shall succeed the Vice
President, and if there is no President OF
the Senate, the Speaker of the House
shall act as President.
In the present case, the Hon. Lafay-
ette S. Foster, of Connecticut, is Presi-
dent pro TEN. of the Senate, and would
succeed Andrew Johnson in case Of his
death. If Johnson and Foster were both
dead, or disabled, the Hon. Schuyler
Colfax would act as President.
But it happens that on the 4th Of
March next the term of the Hon. Lafay-
ette S. Foster, in the Senate, expires, SO
that it will be necessary for the Senate,
this winter, to elect President pro TEN.
The term for which Mr.. Colfax is elected
Speaker, also expires with the thirty.
ninth Congress, on the 4th of March. "a
1t has been customary when the Senate
reorganizes for the Vice-President to alb
sent himself temporarily, that there may
be an election of President pro TEN. Of
that body. On the 7.h Of March, 1865,
the Clerk of the Senate, Col j. w. For
ney, called the Senate to order, an.
nounced by authority the absence of An.
drew johnson, the Vice. President, and
the Hon. Lafayette s. Foster was elected
President pro tenn. t1
If it should happen that the Senate
neglected to elect President pro tenn.
until the 4th of March, when Mr.. Foster s
term expires, that body would be without
presiding officer, and Mr.. Colfax' &
term having also expired, the process Of
securing successor to Andrew johnson
if he should die or be disabled at that
juncture, would become very delicate
one. " aa.I
But we presume the Senate will pro-
vide against the possibility of such a
chance for disorder, by the resignation
of Mr. Foster some days before the ex
piration Of his term, when some Senator
will be elected President pro tempore
whose present term of service, whether
reelected or not, does not expire on the
4th Of March. This will secure the con.
tinuity. Cincinsdti Commercial

The Blindness and Deafness of Smokers
.'- and Drinkers. .IIf

NJ. Sichel, in the course of twenty
eight years practice, has frequently met
with blindness from palsy of the optic
nerve, produced by the abuse of smok-
ing, and he believes that there are few
persons who can smoke for any long
period more than five drachms of tobacco
daily without their vision, and often their
memory, becoming affected. He had
previously spoken Of another form Of
amaurosis, symptomatic of delirium tre-
mems, and caused by alcoholic drinks.
1t is frequently accompanied by trem-
bling of hands in the morning, and at a
later period by morning vomiting. Both
of these varieties ere very slow in their
progress towards cure and very refrac-
tory to treatment This latter occupies
long time, and an essential point, Of
course, is the discontinuance of the prac-
tice that has given rise to the blind, We
cannot attempt to give in this place even
an outline Of the treatment
NJ. Trignet states that in smokers and
drinkers an insidious and obstinate form
of Inflammation of the ear (otitis) fire.
quently becomes developed. There is a
kind of numbness or torpor of the ear,
with sense of cold, but hardly any pain.
There is no wax in the ear, bat extreme
dryness and minute granulations of the
throat, the passages of the nose, and the
tubes on each side, leading from the
mouth, behind the palate, to the middle
ear. Noises in the ear almost always
occur at an early period, and it is i'm
portant to notice that they have kissing
sound. The disease exhibits itself in
three periods l. That of excitement, in
which there is intolerance of noise and a
kissing sound in the ear 2. That of de-
preston, in which the kissing sound dis.
appears, or only remains as distant and
feeble echo and 3. That of a paralytic
condition Of the auditory nerve, in which
the sense of hearing is more or less com
pletely, and often permanently, lost In
this period, there is also often trembling
of the tongue, embarrassment of speech
and disturbance of vision. The progno-
sis is very ppfavorable, for those persons
alone are susceptible of cure who will
consent to leave off the bad habit which
has produced the disease.-Philadelphia

when another parson has undertaken to
outdo him and succeeded. Our readers
have probably heard of one Chivington,
sometimes known as colonel, at other
times as reverend. 1t was in that latter
capacity that he undertook to out-hlas-
pheme the Tennesseean, and he did it.
Here is sample of his effort made re-
Gently at Council Bluffs, Iowa:
IF we 60 to heaven, and any Demo
crat dare intrude there, we will kick him
out. If we go to hell, we will heap fire
and birthstone on them. Yes, would
stand upon the battlements of heaven and
kick Democrats into hell; and, if go
to hell, | will pour cauldron Of red hot
iron down upon them"
Chivington would be as good as his
word, no doubt 1t was he who, it will
be rememb bered, massacred the Indians
at Sand creek, and he would just as soon
murder any one else with whom he
might happen to be- at enmity. Satan
might 6nd use for this wretch, who has
done his satanic majesty much willing
and grateful service Where are you,

the affections of your master.-Sk Louis

Seventy Steamships Owned by One Com.
pauy.

Trieste, scarcely known here, and
whose inhabitants barely exceed hun
dred thousand in number, boasts Of a
steam marine more numerous, costly
and powerful than that of all the States
of New England. One single company
in that metropolis, whose moles and
quays are so constantly thronged with
Hebrews, Greeks, Armenians and Amer
leans, owns not less than seventy steam
ers. 1t is called the Austrian Lloyd
Company, and was founded as far back
as 1888; and some idea may be formed
of the variety and extent of its transac-
tions from the fact that it runs twelve
regular lines Of steam vessels every
month, and is at once a great marine
insurance and financial company, as
well as steamship company; that it has
agents in every bourse in the world,
supports enormous printing aud en-.
craving Offices, publishes three journals
in two different languages, has shipyards,
boiler shops, arsenals, in word, naval
organization vast enough to make the
Austrian seaport where it is locatad

Ali the pretty story am going to re
late, and how it will charm your fair
readers, and all the Romeos and Juliets
of this world Mind, | DO not yagch foI
the yeracity of the story, but have
heard it related by such pretty lips, and
with such fervor Of language, that | am
almost inclined to believe IN its authen-
ticity. The scene was enacted at Berlin
on the morning Of the entrance of the
victorious troops A. young and dis.
tinguished officer oft6e Cuirassiers, who
had received cut of the sabre from an
ApstrisH Uhlan, was paying a VISIT to hls
fancee. young lady attached ,a the
Queens household. H,T lover entered
ser salon 10 bis fall uniform, and wear
ing his helmet, bat Gn taking bis seat
near bis fair lRiy.loye he took of his
helmet. and pat 1t on o small table in
front of the fire as, Notwithstanding all
the enthusiasm Ofthe population, the day
was excessively cold. By somo sudden
movement, however, the young officer
spsst lhs tsAlsI and ihs helmet rolled
mo the hre. There xas q seTeam, and
an exclamation O. aorror. lsa scream
was, Of course, feminine; the expression
Of dismRy however, WAS masculine,
caused by seeing the horse-tall Of the
helmet catch FIRE and burn away in an
instant. To join his regiment and pass
the King wearing signed helmet, and
one guiltless of horse-tail, was utterly
impossible, and still less was It possible
TO absent himself on such day. One
exasperating fact was the helmet was
burnt behind the wits among the crowd
would therefore imagine that he had re-
ceived shot while Tying from the
enemy. Needless to remark, thai every
shop in the city Of Berlin was closed.
