AN AWFUL NURSE

If De Quincy we're row alive, says an
English PAPER, he might write a compan.
ion essay to the one on Murder as one Of
the Fine Arts, taking for his theme, Muir!
der as Pastime, and illustrating it by
case which has just happened at Geneva.
A woman named Jcanncret, thirty-tvo
years of age, whose employment was
that Of nursing the sick, has just been
found guilty Of nine murders. She was a
clever woman, with a highly nervous and
excitabe organization. and she seems to
have had no ether motive for her crimes
than msrhid love Of the excitement oc
murder aud a grim delight in witnessing
the suircrings Of her victims. The unu.
sual fatality of patients nurscd by her
drew the doctors attention, and it was
found that she gave them atropine, the
active principle Of beladonna. She did
not deny that she had given the narcotic,
and CT course pleaded that she had done
so to produce sleep and lull restlessness.
But it was clear that she knew the sleep
she produced to be that which knows no
waking. Brought into the presence Of
the cxhumed corFses of her victims, she
showed no signs of horror, and went
through her trial with complete coolness
and self-possession..
Yet the woman was no mere monoman.
lac. She had all her faculties about her;
and the only rational theory of her crime
was that she had taken it for amusement.
A kind Of gambling passion had taken
that direction, and had gained entire mas
terry over her. The case is rare, but
by no means unique example of the pos
sibility that all feeling may be lost in one
ovcrmasteriug passion. Fortunately such
passion is generally some form of self.in-
diligence, and it rarely happens that any
human being is sufficiently callous to in.
dulgo passion for murder.

PLANTING CORN IN DRILLS,


Our readers are aware we have occa-
sionally urged the superiority Of the prac-
tice of planting. corn either in drills or in
small hills, thick in the row, where the
highest amount Of product is the object.
The average increase, in a number of OBJ
servations and experiments in drill or
thick hill planting, has been about twenty
FIVE per cent John Johnston says that
this increase much more than ovelpays
the slight additional cost of labor in hoe
ing, and nearly doubles the cornfodder
We find cur views endorsed in recent
article in the Clyde Times, with the sig
nature Of "W." which We recognize as
that of Joseph Watson, well known as an
Intelligent and successful farmer. He
states that he has used I.nery'3 corn
planter for twenty years and finds it a
labor-saving implement, planting eight
acres day, and enabling him to put in
his crop promptly and in season, even if
there happens to be at the time a scarcity
of farm laborers. He remarks that the
object of planting rows both ways, is not
equal in practice to the Importance at
tached to it in theory, and then adds
some reasons Of the ''row-one-way system"
in addition to those which We have for
merly given, and which necessarily result
from the use Of planter Or drill, He
states i. substance that while the plowing
Of the sod is going on, which should be
done with strong team, a lighter team
may be employed to harrow the freshly
turned earth as fast as oacn "land" is
completed, and the corn planter follow
Immediately after.
This ob7iates the necessity Of waiting
till the whole field is completed for cross
working and planting in the old fashioned
way--when the soil, perhaps, has become
dry, and many days lost by the delay.
The rows thus planted by meanse Of the
drill will be either straight Or contain no
short crooks; and hence the cultivator
may be run close TO the rows, and lessen
the amount Of hand-hoeing. Another ad-
vantage is, the hoes may follow immedi-
teiy aItcr the cuiCiGtor while the eartn is
fresh and mellow and any stalks acci-
dentally covered are Immediately relieved
and set up, without leaving them partly
prostrated several days, as in the old
practice, until the cross cultivation is COM
monced. He further adds that he prefers
the drill with its one horse to any five
men planting by hand and hoe, even after
the whole field has been marked both
ways and that none of his neighbors raise
greater crops Of corn or at so little expense
per bushel.--KluStrated annual Register
/ Of Rural Affairs.

Anecdote of President lincoln,

A correspondent Of the Commercial Ad-
rertiser furnishes the following auecdote
of President Lincoln
On the day that intelligence reached
Washington of the takiug of Mason and
Slidell from the English steamer Trent,
the writer called at the White House to
introduce two English friends who had
been with him on short trip through
the Southwestern States, and who were
desirous Of an Introduction to the chief
magistrate of the nation before their re-
turn, by way of Washington, to New
York, whence they designed to ship for
England.
1t was on a Saturday, about half-past
3 p. m., when, after waiting for a short
time in consequence of the President be-
ing engaged, we succeeded in gaining an
interview Upon my apologising for tres.
passing after the usual hour for receptions,
he replied, "Not at all, my good SIR, | air
very happy to see you and your friends,
accompanied by his usual warm grasp d
the hand.
After few observations, in reference
to the Western country-hoping my friend.
had derived much qualification from theil
tour, &c, the President said !: II pre-.
sumo, gentlemen, you have heard of ouI
taking Mason aud Slidell from the English
steamer Trent (the intelligence Of which
had reached him only few hours before.
Y our friends on the other side Of the wa
ter will not like this" After pause
"Well, ! suppose we shall have to give
them up" adding, with evident glcc, "bu
in the meantime we will take good care
of them"
Thus, with high sense of honor ant
Of international law, he determined hi
course Of conduct the moment the occur
renee took place, and when we conside
the outcry of the press generally as t
what was to be done in the premises ac
companied by such exclamations as "Gic
them up2--Neper :" his action in thi
matter reflects another instance of his alb
soluto honesty of purpose and high Gems
Of honor.

ROYAL APPETITES.

Napoleon III. has little taste for the
pleasures of the table. lie eats and
drinks little, and never complains Of the
table spread. His intemperance is smok-
ing. Queen Victoria objects to expensive
dinners. Her favorite dishes are beef
and pastry. The Emperor of Russia is
fond Of the pleasures of the table game
is his fayorite; he eats good deal, and
drinks a good deal of champagne and
and burgundy. The king of Prussia en-
joys good dinner; beef, mutton, cakes,
pies and puddings, are in great favor ;
he delights in markobrunner and liebfrau-
milch German wines) and Roederer's
champagne he is charming at dinner
gay as a child, and without the least cer-
emony. The Emperor of Austria is his
very opposite, taciturn and pensive, and
ceremonions; he is, nevertheless, not in
sensible to earth's good things his favor
ite dishes are mutton and game he
drinks claret and the Hungarian wines.
The king Of Italy is an enormous eater ;
he is very fond Of partridges, pheasants,
ortolans, snipe, and woodcock, but cares
nothing for yenison, wild boar, sc. Veal

he drinks heartily Of all the wines Of Bur.

HEARING OE THE BLIND.

The blind boys in school know the step
Of all their schoolfellows with unerrine
certainty Thus, boy having missed his
friend atplay, he watches for him as the
ranks file past, walking round the green
sward, Or marching into dinner. He hears
the tramp of his friend amid the din and
the scufie of the other boys long ere he
has reached him, and pounces upon him
with the same certainty as though he saw
him. Indeed, the blind speak of hearing
as seeing. If, from the sound, they know
that the master has left the room, they
say, 81 saw him 60 out" 1t is curious
fact that blind people never run up against
each other Thus, when playing prisoners
base-a game which leads to some rough
jostling, even amongst boys gifted with
their eyes-those sightless little fellows
but rarely come into collision with each
other. Zach boy, when he enters the
workshop in which he is employed in baa-
ket-making-a room twenty feet wile by
one hundred and fifty in length-marches
up to his own seat and box, never by any
chance mistaking his place. If they are
in search Of friend, and they happen to-
call out his name in an empty room, they
never stop for an answer, their sense of
hearing telling them that there is no one
in it. Mr.. Anderson, of Edinburgh, tells
tale which well illustrates this point.
Il had OCCASION lie says, ''to send out
blind man with mattress; / gave him
the bill with it, that he might receive pay
ment But, to my surprise, he returned
with the account and the mattress too.
Eve brought back bath, ye see, sir, said
he. How so p Indeed, sir, | didna
like to leave't yonder, else am sure we
wad ne'er see the siler-there's nae a
stick Of furniture within the door 2 How
do you come to know that p Oh, sir twa
taps on the door wi my stick soon tell't

MRS. SANTA CLAUS AND JESSIE
BROWN.

You've heard of good old Santa Claus ay,
doubtless, all your life
Though not of him Tn going TO tel, but of his
lovely wife,
And pretty little Jessie Brown, an orphan, you
must know
The story it was told to me, a long, long time
ago.
One stormy night-'twas Christmas time-when
all the children roand
Hung up their stockings, knowing well with
treasures they'd abound
Then scampcred laughingly to bed, to dream
away the night,
Their little hearts all futtering with gladness
and delight.
But there was one poor little girl-her name
was Jessie Brown
Who with her dear grandfather, lived here in
Brookhavcn town;
But he was old, and very poor, and oft his tears
would fall
Upon the little face of her, his darling one, his
all.
This Chrstmas-eve their scanty meal was eaten
in the dark,
Yet Jessie looked as bright and glad as any
singing lark
And when beside grandpa's knee she lisped her.
evening prayer.
She looked 50 sweet you would have thought an
angel had been there;
Then with the "good-nigbt' kiss she crept into
her "trundle' bed,
And, smiling, asked, "Will Santa Clause come,
now mamma is dead 70
81 hope he will" !" her grandpa said, and turned
away his head
Then, on a nail hung up with care, her stocking
soon he spied,
With many threadbare patch, although to
mend it she had tried
And when he thought her fast asleep he took it
from the nail,
And by the 6re-light you could see his face
looked strangely pale.
His fingers trembled as he sighed, "My precious
little dear
Oh, would had thousand crowns I'd put
them all in here
Then in the stocking dropped some nuts, and
hung it up in haste,
And, walking to the door, looked out upon the
dreary waste
But as he looked beauteous form before him
did appear
1t was lady, but she seemed as from some
other sphere.
Hvt mantle all embroidered o'er with glist ming
flakes of snow
Her hair like sparkling strings fpearls or dew
drops seemed to grow;
Upon her feet were sandals bright offrost-work.
such as seen.
At morn, when glints of sunlight fall upon the
blades of green
Aud oh her eyes they were so bright like
twiRkllng stars they shone,
As in a gentle, dove-lilSe voice, her errand she
made known.
II am the wife Of Santa Clause, and with him
came to town,
Because wish so much to see sweet little Jessie
Brown
YOa'll not refuse me, am sure, an entrance at
your door
The good give the choicest gifts out Of my
bounteous store"
Then from her head string of pearls she hasti-
ly unwound.
