l,The. Five FoIIIes Of. science. {

This phrase is sometimes applied to GER
tain projects or problems which modern
science has pronounced to be altogether
fantasti,. and illusorY. They are usually
said to be the following: The quadrature,
or squaring of the circle; the establish
mentof perpetual motion; the discovery OF
tie philosophers stone. of the grand catho-
Icon or panacea, and of the alkahest or
universal solvent. The first is an attempt
to find a square that shall be exactly equal
in area to given circle. This is a very
famous problem, which has tasked the
brains OF many mathematical scholars but
its solution is considered impossible. The
second is an attempt TO find q machine
which shall contain within itself its own
motive power, so that when once set in
motion, it shall never stop, or at least not
until worn out. This invention has been
much sought after, but III the nature of
things can never be accomplished.
The other three fOllies were objects of
eager quest among the old alchemists, who
were professors of a pretended science,
which led the way to modern chemistry.
The leading principle was, that all the
baser metals could be converted into gold
and silver, provided they could only dis
cover or produce by the process of their
art a certain mineral, called the philoSo-
piers stone, to mix with these baSer met
ais. Another object often pursued by them
was the discovery of universal medicine
-variOusly called catholicOn, panacea, and
elixir yitae-Which had the property of
healing all diseases and of indefinitely pro-
longing human life. They also believed in
the existence of universal solvent, that is,
of menstruum or fluid capable of dissolv-
ing all bodies WhatsoeVer.-Ol OliUer Optics

DecidedlY Romantfc.

The following singular and rather ro-
mantle incident was related to the New
Albany Ledger by gentleman who claims
to know that it is true: ,.e =.
sA-young lady living in Corydon, who
had by a life Of dissipation and prostitu-
ton, lost the respect of the decent portion
of that community, and who, it was also
believed, had given birth to negro child,
after finding herself an Oiltcast and aban-
doned woman, resolved to leave the place
where she was Stunned and despised, and
lead in the future a life OF rectitude and
of virtue. She removed to Ohio. For
long time nothing was heard from her. But,
finally, an Ohio paper was received in
Corydon, announcing the marriage of this
Young lady TO the Hon. Mr.. -. The pa
per complimented the happy bridegroom
upon his good fortune in securing such an
accomplished and handsome wife as Miss
For while this marriage was the
subject of much gossip in Harrison coun-
ty. In few months, however. it ceased
to excite any interest and would have been.
forgotten entirely, had it not been for a
visit of the Mr.. and Mrs. - to Corydon.
Husband and wife took the stage for Cory
don at New Albany, and seemed to enjoy
themselves very much in each others socie-
to during the ride. At Corydon the stage
stopped at the hotel, and they got out, the
husband requesting a nice room. The
landlord, who recognized in the wife the
abandoned woman of Corydon in other.
days, refused to give them a room. Hus-
band demanded an explanation, and the
blunt old landlord gave it TO him by relat-
ing a history of his wifeis career in Cory,
don. After this the husband was not anx-
ious for room, but took the next convey
ance out of Corydon. leaving that village
and his wife behind. Since then he has
not been heard from. in Corydon. The
WIFE finding herself abandoned by her
husband, again gave way to the tempter,
and is now heart-broken, degraded wo-
man. D--'I5s' 1aAa

Death fron, MydrophobIa.
from the Glasgow (Mo.) Times. /


A most distressing case of this terrible
disease occurred on Friday last, resulting
in :, the. death of a young man eighteen
years of age, Eamed Noah Stapleton. He
died at the residence of Mr.. w. w. Maupin,
five miles from glasgow, in Howard cOun-
ty, where he had been boarding aud at
tending school. On the 9Th of November
last he was bitten on the right hand by~a
rabid dog, after which he was under treat
ment 9of physicians who cauteriZed the
wound aud made such applications as tend
ed TO allay Inflammation, after which
mad d-stone (the property of Mr.. Jas. Hack
ley J. was applied and remained on the
wound for forty days, when it dropped off.
No particular alarm was for his safety
after this, as it was thought the precautions
taken had dispelled all dangerof hydro
phobia. On last Wednesday week, how
ever. decided symptoms were manifested
in his aversion to all fluids, he having suf-
tered the day previous with severe head
ache. PHYSICIANS were caIled-Drs. Col
lins and Walker, of Glasgow, and DR..
Smith, of Fayettee, being in attendance
The symptoms gradually became more
and more alarming, till positive raying
madness ensued. He manifested no ami
mostly to any one, and seemed to partially
recognize his friends to near the time of his
death; but there seemed to be terrible
desire to do violence to himsel-to tear his
bosom open. Several times he assayed to
take some soup, knowing his need of nour-
ishment; but each effort was broken off
with shudder and facial contortions hor-
rible to witness. The wildness of his be-
havior is described as frightful in the ex-
treme. In some brief intervals of his mad
ness, however, he manifested the same
gentleness and kinlheartedness that had
ever been characteristic OF him. Thurs
day night, an, emetic was administered,
which allayed the paroXysms to a great eX-
tent; but from the prostration that ensued
he never revived, aud gradually becoming
calm. he sunk into that deeper calmpess that
knows no resusitation in this world. sesse

Tsoosh nd the he Lords la Prayer. aver

In the palmy days of Booth (the father
of Edwin Booth. now performing at the
Brooklyn, iTheater), the great tragedian,
togetierlwith several friends, were invited
to dine by person who was opposed to
theaterS and theater going, and yet who
had curiosity enough to wish to see some
thing of the Lion of the day. During the
FeYening some one requested Booth, as a
particular favor to read the Lords prayer.
|Heexpressed his Willingness to afford the
company this qualification, and all eyes
turned expectantly ON him.o Slowly and
reverently he arose. ALL were astonished
at the play of emotion that cOnvulsed his
|countenanee. His face became deathly pale,
and his eyes trem blingly turned upwards
were wet with tears. The silence could al
most be felt; it became absolutely painful
before his rich toned voice from the death
hued lips indeseribably burst forth, Our
father. who art in heaven, etc., Every
heart was filled with the. ,pathos.. and
solemnity of the occasion. After he had
finished, the silence continued, until sub
dued sob from remote corner of the room
broke the spell. The host stepped forward
with streaming eyes, and selling Booth by
the hand said !: sSir, you have done me a
favor. for which my whole future life viii
feel grateful. am an old man, and every day
from my boyhood to the present time I
thought had repeated the Lords prayer, but
L have, never heard it before, never.'',.ds r; /
Booth replied; "To read that prayer as 1t
should be read, it has cost me the severest
study and labor for thirty years and / am
far from being yet satisfied with, my rend-
-ering of that wonderful production. Hardly
one person in thousand comprehends how
much. beauty, tenderness and grandeur can
be condensed in space so small and in
words so simple. That prayer sof itself
sufficiently illustrates the truth of the Bible,
and stamps upon it the,seal of Divinity?'
So great an effect had been produced by
the reading, that after a few minutes of
subdued conversation, the company broke
up and retired for the time at least, with
full hearts. z z +, ..s.-I.1 =

Two Girls Burned to Death.
i From the Detroit Free Press, ApriI Iol


A statement appeared this morning in
our telegraphic columns to the effect that
two girls, the daughters of baker named
Keith, had been burned to death at Petro-
liza, G. W., on Sunday morning. Since then
we have obtained some further particulars
The fire was discovered about four in the
morning, and the alarm being Immediately
given large crowd of people was soon
upon the ground. The eldest daughter
appeared at the window screaming for
help, but Immediately went back, as it is
supposed to look for her sister. just at
this moment, to the horror of the specta-
tors, q laundering crash announced that
the floors had fallen in, and the ashley
paleness that overspread every cheek rem
dered even more ghastly by the ruddy
glare Of the burning ruins, told a tale too
dreadful for utterance. After the fire had
gone out and the ruins had cooled, two
blackened and charred bodies were dragged
from among the smOuldering embers. A
mass of flesh burnt to a tcinder, and bones
protrudiDg from it in the most frightftll

count of murder committed this coun-
ty onithe night of the 2lst Sunday lhlt.
Mary. and Becky Jane Collins, freed wo-
men, mother and daughter the former
about fifty years and the latter thirty years
of age, were living in the yard of widow
lady, though not employed by her. Becky
had twoasmall children, and a boy four
years old named Jerry, the son of her de-
ceased sister, and grandson of Mary. On
the night of the murder boy eight years
old, son of Becky, and who is bound to-
Mr.. Joseph Murray, stayed with his
mother. He states that in the might his
mother and grandmother shat Jerry out of.
doors they then tore to pieces an old bed
stead which belonged to Jerry's mother,
and carried it out of doors with all OF Jer-,
-ry's mothers clothes and bed-clothes, and
made them fire at the corner of the chim-l
ney. They then caught Jerry, and after
cutting him with an AK, making a frightfuli
wound on his neck, pushed him into the
large fire. He screamed and jumped ont
several times, and they as often pushed him
back, until he was dead. They continued
burning him until all was consumed except
two small plates of the skull a few remains
of bones, and some of the intestines. Mr.
Joseph Murray was there. on Monday
morning, when Becky told him she had
killed the devil-that Margaret (Jerry's
mOther) had come back and stuck her claws
in Jerry and made him devil and she and
her mother had killed him. She evidently
was feigning insanity and made great
many simple and foolish remarks. Mary
made no such attempt, but confessed she
made the fire and that Becky burned the
child. The widow lady did not remain at.
home that night, but she says these women
had for the last twelve months treated Jer-t
rY very cruelty. Both the women are now
in Jail awaiting trial. .Ti. JH of tatfal5q
