Remarkable Suicide.

Sterling King, known throughout
the war as rebel spy and bearer of
dispatches, with the rank of Colonel,
was born in England in 1884, and
while yet boy came with his parents
to this country, and found a perma-
nent home near Richmond, Virginia.
He received a very good collegiate ed
ucation, studied law and practiced in
Richmond, Virginia, Upon the inaug-
uration Of the rebellion, he was among
the very first to enlist as private .un-
der Stonewall Jackson. Badly woun-
ded in the engagement in the first
year, and distinguished for reckless
courage, he was soon promoted to a
Colonelcy and detailed to act as spy,
under orders from the rebel executive
In this capacity he travelled all through
the north, managing, as he brought ex-
perience to the aid Of natural abilities,
to work successfully in procuring in
formation useful to the rebel cause
He made trips through all the Northern
and Eastern cities, to Cuba, Canada
and even to Europe. He several times
had business in this city, and on one
occasion occupied small Office near
the Soldiers Home, on Third street,
where under the guise of a claim agent,
he occupied himself, during several
weeks, in collecting from the inmates
ofthe Home statistics as to the strength
and location Of all the regiments repre-
sented by them. = - -.'ss
He was fully acquainted with all the
business of the rebel mail service, and
was at one time employed in selecting
men and droutes for that business. A
couple of years since he was captured
here, and imprisonedas spy. Prop
ositions were made to release him in
the event Of his giving. information
that would lead to the arrest of certain
rebel agents in this vicinity; but he
| stubbornly refused, stating that he in
| tended to make his escape with his
hands, and this promise he made good
by working his way one night, and
passing the guard, despite bayonet
thrust in the high.
THE HoRsE-THIEF.
Having thus given the main points
in Kings history as a rebel Colonel
and spy, we come now to his operations
as horse-thief. Pretending to the
honor and punctillio of a gentleman OF
the first class of chivalry, while in the
rebel service, in which he continued
until the war closed, he nevertheless
turned a professional thief, upon being
again thrown upon his resources. :
Coming to this city about three months
since, he planned, and for time sue
cessfully executed thefts of valuable
horses aud vehicles from three livery
stables :-Fay's Bigler's and Hierman's S
He would make himself familiar with
the proprietors-one after the other
hire and return few times, talk OF
purchasing fine horse, and when rea
dy for the theft; hire the most valuable

Don't Drive the Boys From Home.

Mothers who are disturbed by the
noise and untidiness of boys at home,
must be careful, lest by their reproach-
es they drive their children from home
in search of pleasures elsewhere. The
Portland Transcript gives case in
point: -
''There are those balusters all finger
marks again." said Mrs. Cary, as she
made haste with q soft linen cloth to
polish down the shining oak again
George" she said with a flushed face,
as she gave the cloth a decided rinse
out of the basin Of suds, ''if you go up
those stairs again before bed time you
shall be punished"
II should like to know where I am
to go?" said George, angri1y. Il

as well as any boy, if it did make me
awfnl sick the first time. They shall
not laugh at me again about it.

Disinfectant.

There is a disiuiectant which has been
much used in the army, and which we can
most strongly recommend as a preventive
for the cholera. 1t is a combination of per-
mangaric acid and chlorine, first employed
for the purpose by Professor Darby, who
was for some time Professor Of Mathemat-
les in Williams College, and afterwards of
Chemistry in a College in the State of Ala
bama. The name by which it is known is
Darby's Prophylaetic Fluid. in the army,
when there was danger Of modification or
erysipelas from wounds, a quantity of Che
liquid was applied aud the wound bound
up in perfect confidence Of a good result
and neither gangrene nor erysipelas made
their Appearance. We have been informed
that when Professor Darby was at the head
of a young ladies' school, the scarlet fever
several times made its appearance among
the pupils. He had already discovered the
efficacy Of the compound Of which we speak,
and took care use 1t as a purifier Of the at
mOsphere, and the scarlet fever never went
beyond a single case, either in his school or
"a any other TO which he had recommend
ed its use.
Among the active chemical agents which
the discoveries in modern chemistry have
brought 10 light is ozone, which, according
to she adopts, is oxygen in peculiar state
of activity-an activity supposed by some
to depend upon its electrical condition.
Whatever be its nature, it is the destroyer
of miasmatic exhalations, seizing upon the
uawholesome tffiuvia in the atmosphere
snd consuming it as flame seizes upon
fuel. When a quantity of the compound
we have mentioned is exposed to the at
mOsphere, ozone makes its appearance, al
though there was none which could pre-
viously be detected. -
OF the efficacy Of Darby's Prophylactic
Fluid the experience Of surgeons in the
army during the late wsr has been too ex-
tensive 70 permit US to doubt. Il is not a
deodorizer merely, but a disinfeeiant-a
destroyer Of the insalubrious element in an
atmosphere which cannot be breathed with
out danger. At this season, when the warm
weather, which gives activity TO the de-
composition Of animal and vegetable sub
stances, is close at hand, and when the
cholera is on its way 10 our metropolis, 1t
deserves special attention. Il is to be had
at No. 100 William street.-N. y. Post.

OF Indiana in Barnes case, under the
heading, The First Case, and seem 20
be under the impression that the de-
cision was based upon the Civil Rights
Law. This il mistake The plaintiff,
Who Is a negro, sued for balance due
him for wages. The defendant pleaded
that the plaintiff came into the State
in violation of the State Constitution,
and that, being q negro, he was not
competent 10 sue under the laws Of
Indiana The plaintiff demurred, and
the demurrer was sustained BY the
Circuit Court This decision was sus-
tanned on appeal, and the presiding
Judge, IN delivering the opinion Of the
Court, took occasion 20 say that, as the
Civil Rights law had not been officially
promulgated, it was not considered By
the Court The decision was based ex-
clusively on the ground that the
amendment to the Constitution re-
moved all disabilities from the negroes,
ana that they had the same rights be-

AN Extraordinary TnAL-The En-
glish papers give quite long report of
the trial before one Of the Assize Courts
of a child ten years old, named Emily
Ballard, on charge preferred by Rev.
G. r. Gray, Of stealing penny from a
schoolmate named Sarah Jane Cough.
1t would seem that a clergyman might
be devoting his time and labor little
more profitably than n aFraigning a
girl Of tender years before Court of
dignifed magistrates on 30 paltry and
petty charge IS this If he would
give little attention to her education,
or look little into the circumstances
under which she had been trained, or
try to remedy the poverty which had
led her to commit the act, he would
would have been performing the duties
Of his sacred Office quite as thoroughly
and probably as in the course which
he chose to pursue. II is some satisfae-
ton to know that the worshipful mag.
istrates Of the British Realm, after due
consideration and profound study of
the case, decided that in their judg-
ment the child had no felOniOus intent
