Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, two
" gemmen of color" stewards OF steamers

squared off and showed his knowledge Of
the manly art by drawing back his mauley
and planting it on his opponents conk, out

knocking the latter down. The fight lasted

now he could whip his opponent after that.
The hutted man thought he could net. He
was then told if he would pay for the drinks
he could escape any more punishment. This

A New Dodge.


Tho Journd Of Chemistry exposes y
new dodge resorted to by the scoundrels
who prey upon farmers. They advertise
that they will show people how To make
good pound of butter out of pint
of milk, offer rights for sale, and also
white powder which is the agent
used to perform the magic work; and
that at the office of the company the mag
ic work is demonstrated to the inquirer.
The fraud is thus explained: q pint of
milk, with half a pound of good butter, is
put into little tin churn, with spoon
full of the powder the whole is warmed,
and then FIVE minutes churning brings
out one and half pounds OF good butter
BY the process the whole of the pint OF
milk (mostly composed of water) is driv.
en- into, or blended with the half pound OF
melted butter put into the churD. There
| is no important increase of real butter in
the churn, although the watery mass
which looks like inferior butter, weighs
more. Put the mass into dish, and beat
| it, and the true butter will separate from
the milk or water with which 1t is blended
| This is the method by which butter ant
| lard are greatly adulterated.
Nearly all the lard sold by grocers con
tains from % to 40 per cent. of water
! The adulterstors have not been able, unit
within a year or two, to combine will
genuine lard more than 25 per cent. o
water; but recently, by the use of aka
line carbonates, partly saponitying th
lard, they force into association NOR

Red Stockings and Poison.

A RATHER unusual case of poisoning
has but recently come to light. Mr.. Alex
ander Bangley, a grocer residing in the
North Division, attended the excursion
of the French Society of st. Jean de
Baptiste, which went to Bourbonnais
Grove, near Kankskee, on the 9th of last
month, on which occasion he wore a
pair of new French socks, with bright
scarlet bottoms On his return, and dur
ing the next day, his feet were badly
swollen, and from that time they have not
only grown worse continually, but the
disease has spread to other portions of
his body, appearing in painful white bills
tiers. Several physicians were promptly
called, and have been in constant attend
ance, their first opinion being that Mr..
Bangley was suffering from severe at
tack of erysipelas, but accidentally learn
ing Of the scarlet socks, an examination
Of these was made, and in the bright
colors was found an active poison, which,
having been absorbed by the sensitive
pores of the foot when opened by perspi-
ration, the terrible results have followed,
which for weeks have baffied all medical
skill. At the present Mr.. Bangley Is in
very critical condition, with but slight
hopes of his ultimate ecovery.-ChtcdgO

winter, and the harbor had been frozen
over for weeks. The coal in store had
long been exhausted, and there was much
suffering from lack of fuel. Even the
fences had been torn down and burnt to
exc out the scanty supply of wood. To
the great delight of the townspeople the
ice broke up one fine morning, and a
schooner laden with coal was seen ap-
preaching. There was much excitement,
and before the craft was moored a coal
dealer boarded her and eagerly addressed
the honest Quaker skipper, Captain Git'

Reading for the Prisoners.

A VERY commendable benevolent enter
prise has recently been started in Chicago,
having for its object the furnishing of the
prisons of Cook county with books and
other useful reading matter for the benefit
of the prisoners. This is, says an ex-
change, worthy example, and might

men and women are, because OF crime,

money, can do 80 by communicating with
Gen. Salomon, Room Court House, or
with Miss L. Gilbert, 481 Michigan avenue,

A writer in the Chicago Tribune, in
noticing this benevolent undertaking,
truly says;
"1n our prisons we have class of un-
fortunates, who, from the perversity OF
fortune, have been denied the benefits
which usually accrue from the perusal OF
good books. The majority of persons in.
habiting our jails are stinted and dwarfed
mentally, by the removal of every moral
and mental stimulus in their past lives,
necessary for even the proximate develop
ment OF their character. Now, vice az

are mingled in close limit of compan'

GhOStIy Experiences OF a Murderer.

IN the year 1853, man now living in
Kansas City had a difficulty with man
in California, and killed him in self-de-
fence. He was arrested, tried, and ac-
Quilted by jury of his countrymen. The
man whom he had killed had been his
friend. They worked together in the
same mines, slept under the same blanket,
were, in short, companions and com
rades. After the killing, the man of whom
we speak has never seen happy day.
Grief, or a continued dwelling on the sub
ject, has to a certain extent impaired his
mind, and he positively asserts now that
the spirit of the dead man is always with
him. To avoid il, he sold out in Califor-
mia and went TO British Columbia. II
followed him like a shadow. Then he
went to Colorado. Still the ghost pursued
him. In agony, he fed to the States; no
rest here. Day and night, he says, he can
see the countenance of his dead friend,
and feel his presence in the room. The
ghost has never yet spoken to him. AT
first the features expressed anger and re-
sentiment. Now they appear kinder and
more complacent This story may ap-
pear little ridiculous, but 1t Is true, new
ertheless. Names could be given, II 1t
were possible to betray confidence. The
man is known to few here. He rarely
goes upon the street, and expresses him
self resigned 10 his fate, and prays that
God will forgive him, as he believes now
that his friend has done.-KGnSaS CEty

Losing Nerve.


THERE are many cases on record of
men OF professional experience losing their
nerve when most needed. One case was
that of AN architcc', thoroughly used to
walk about ON all parts of houses in
course OF construction, who once, when
walking along plank which j)incd two
walls at great height from the GROUND,
felt sudden sense of danger, upon which
his senses LEFT him, and only returned
after some seconds when he awoke, so to
speak, in the arms of one of the masous,
who had most fortunately seen his state
In time to- carry him across the plank at
the risk of his own life.
A more curious case requires little
previous explanation. Some years ago
the paintings on the inside of tho dome
of St. Paurs, London, wanted repair. IL
was contrived, in order to save trouble
and expense, that suspended scatlold
should be made, supported by ledge half
y yard wide, and hanging by ropes through
holes in the dome. An experienced ships
carpenter undertook the Job, and began
the Job by stepping out of small door
at the foot of the dome on the
ledge in question, from which there
was clear fall of 200 feet to the pave
ment. He walked few steps, aud ther
found that the inward curve of the dom,
made him unable to stand upright, ant
caused him to lean over dangerously, witt
an altered ard unsteady centre of gravity
Seized all at once with An overpowerinp
sense of fear, he managed, nevertheless
to turn his face to the dome and to rest
being once more able to stand upright, til
he had recovered his senses. Then, to hi
horror, he found that he had forgotten oi
which side of him the door was, or how
far off it was, and in trying to get to ii by
short sidelong steps, took the wrong di
rection, and literally walked in search o
it round the whole base of the dome, fall
ing into the door at last utterly prostrated
and feeling, rs he said, "ten years older
However, he made the scatlold afterward
and used to tell tho story of his fright
while walking about on the ledge, in tn
