and the mistress within SO scared a look
and also at Mr.. Anstruther's troubled
face. for he and his wife were known tn
love one another very much, and to be
sufficiently well-to-do in the world -
When the story was fully told, the excite
ment of the town became intense. the cry
was that the cellar stairs ought to be torn
away, and then they would see what was
under them. After some deliberation If
was thought best to yield to the excited
will of the towns people, and proper men
were sent by the authorities to ia ke away
the stairs and to examine thorougbly
around and beneath them. Mr.. Anstru-
ther, his friend, and some of the gentlemen
OF the neighborhood, were present. The
stairs were removed, the brick flooring
taken away, and the earth dug up, out
there was nothing, and they were about
to lay the ground again, when smoth

deep down did they dig, when, oh, fright>
ful and ghastly sight I! they came upon
the body of woman. Her dress W as

scar was on her face.
The body of The woman was recognized
as that of Nancy Gwinn, who had lived
with Mr.. Barton, hard man, the former
occupant of the s'Grove,' and who had
gone very suddenly to Australia to better
his fortunes. taking his family with him.
1t was about ten years since Nancy had
so mysteriously disappeared from c..
But as she had always been a queer crea-
ture, Dever making friends, no one thought
much about her. The Anstruthers left
the house, not wishing TO stay in it, al
though Nancy's poor, weary body was
laid in decent grave, the burial service
said over it, and headstone placed to
mark where it lay.
Since they left the house, it has re-
mained shut up, lonely, gloomy, and for

laid, or whether it still roams the house
from kitchen and celIar>stairs to the
arched window on the hall-stairway, the

Id ETER BELL
IMPR OWED
BEE HIVE.

The undersigned has secured letters patent
of the United States, dated December Ia 1869,
for al Improvement in the construction of Bee
Hives, and claims for his inv ention advanta ges
possessed by no other heretofore patented.
The principal feature of this Rec Hive is the
arrangementby means of which il is thorough
ly ventilated, thus precluding the possibility of
the bees smothering, The comb moulding or the
honey sourng. This desirable end is accom-
plished by vertical perforated tube, running
centrally through the hive and open at the top
and bottom. All persons interested in apicul-
ture will at once see the great advantages Sc
cured IT. this Improvement. The ventilatoI is
for the increase of bees
The peculiar constru ction of the box partic-
ulariy in the arrangement of the inner COM
partments, whereby it can be cleaned at any
time without disturbing the bees, is another
valuable Improvement which will be obvious
to any person who examines this Hive. An
EXAMINATION of the workings of the bees or the
condition OF the interior can be made at any
time, as the sides are cased with glass. Bees
can be trasferred from a different hive to the
improved one without any difficulty whatever
1t would require too much space to enumerate
here all the advantages claimed in this inven-
ton, but full information will be promptly fur
nished by applying in person or by letter to the
patentee. l am now prepared to dispose of
territory for the sale of the Improved Bee Hive
in any portion of the United States.

Discoveries made by Accident.

Not few discoveries in the arts and
sciences have been made or suggested by
accident. The use of the pendulum sug-
gested by the vibrating of chandelier in
cathedral; the power of steam intimated
by the oscillating Of the lid of tea-kettle;
the utility of coal gas for light, expert
mented upon by any ordinary tobacco
pipe of white clay the magnifying prop
erty of the lens, stumbled upon by an
opticians apprentice while holding spec
tacle>glasses between his thumb and
finger-are well known instances of proof
of the fact.
I Galvanism was discovered by accident,
by Proof. Galvani, of Bologna, in Italy.
He gave his name to the operation, but
his wife is generally considered as entitled
to the credit of the discovery. She being
i'll bad health, some frogs were ordered for
her. As they lay upon the table skinned,
she noticed that their legs became strongly
convulsed when near an ele ectrical con
ductor She called her husbands atten-
ton to the fact he instituted a series of
experiments, and in 1889 the gaIvanic
battery was invented.
Eleven years later, with that discovery
for his basis, Prof. Alessandro Volta, also
an Italian, announced bis discovery of
''voitaic pile adH d aa ri Hn
The discovery of glass-making was eff
fected by seeing the sand vitrified upon
which fire had been kindled.
Blancort says that making of plateglas
was suggested by the fact of workman
happening to break crucible filed with
melted glass. The fluid ran under one of
the large fagstones with which the floor
was paved. On raising the stone to re-
cover the glass, it was found in the form
of plate, such as could not be procured
by the ordinary process of blowing.
Glass pearls, though among the most
beautiful, inexpensive, and common orna-
ments worn by the ladies, are produced
by very singular process. In 1856, a
Venetian, named Joaquin, discovered that
the scales of fish, called bleak fish, pos
sessed the property of communicating
pearly hue to the water. He found by
experimenting, that beads dipped into this
water assumed, when dried, the appear
ance of pearls. 1t proved however that
the pearly coat, when placed outside, was
easily rubbed off; and the. next improve
ment was to make the beads hollow
The making of these beads is carried on
to this day in Venice. The beads are all
blown separately. By means of email
tube, the insides are delicately coated
with the pearIy liquid and waxed coat

scales of four thousand fish to produce

quantity of al-ammonia aud isingIass are
afterward added. ..i

FALLING Leaves.


They are falling, slowly falling,
Thick upon the forest side,
Severed from the noble branches,
Where they waved in beauteous pride.
They are falling in the valleys.
Where the early viOlets spring,
AND the birds in sunny spring time
First their dulcet music sing.
They are falling, sadly falling,
Close beside our cottage door
Pale and faded. like the loved ones,
They have gone forever more.
They are falling, and the sunbeams
Shine in beauty soft around
\ ct the faded leaves are falling,
Failing on the mossy ground.
They are falling on the streamlet,
There the silvery waters flow,
And upon its placid bosom
Onward with the waters go.
They are falling in the church-y yard,
Where our kindred sweetly sleep
Where the idle winds of summer
Softly Ger the loved ones sweep.
They are falling, ever falling,
Pei. ~ " hen the autumn breezes sigh,
When the stars in beauty gisten
Bright upon the midnight sky.
They are falling when the tempest
Means like oceans hollow roar,
hen thetuneless winds and pillows
Sadly sigh for evermore.
They are falling, they are falling.
While our saddened thoughts still go
/ the sunny days of childhood,
In the dreamy long ago.
And their faded hues remind US
OF the blighted homes and dreams
Faded like the falling leaflets
Cast upon the icy streams. s1sa -sf

REMARKABLE DIsCoyERY- BY many
ii has been held as theory that the Yuma
desert was once an ocean bed. At inter
walls pools of salt water have stood for
awhile In the midst of the surrounding
waste of sand, disappearing only to rise
again IN the same or other localities. a
short time since one of these saline lakes
disappeared, and party of Indians re-
ported the discovery of a. .sbig ship left
by the receding waters. 4 party of
Americans at once proceeded TO the spot
and found imbedded in The sanda the
wreck of large vessel. Nearly one-third
of the forward part of the ship or bark is
plainly visible. The stump of the bow
spirit remains. and portions of the timbers
of teak are perfect. The wreck is located
forty miles north of the San Bernardino
and Fort Yuma road, and thirty miles
west of Los Palnos, a we'll known waters
ing place on the desert. The road across
the desert has been travelled for more than
one hundred years. The history of The
ill~fated vessel can, of eontse, never be
known but the discovery Of its decaying
timbers IN the midst of what has long
been desert will furnish sdrants with food
for discussion, and may perhaps furnish
important aid in the elucidation of qnes-
tions of seience.-LOs Angeles Ne,cs, Sept.

till the last Monday in October.
Measures are to be taken at once to
suppress any contemplated Fenian at

A letter has been received at the
Treasury Department from the Col
lect0r Of Customs of San francisco,
giving an account of the method
adopted by the Cinnamon to smuggle
opium into this country. Every
crack and creVice of the vessel, as well
as every part of their clothing net
likely to be examined, becomes a
receptacle for this narcotic. 1t is

get under way, when 1t was tished up
again. On the arrival of the last
steamer from Hong Kong the revenue
officials went a fishing themselves
and caught a case containing seven
hundred pounds of opium in one day.
All the old cOatracts for the New
York and Boston pOstoffices have been
ordered by Boutwell, to be annulled
and new contract at once be made
on the basis of the provisions of the

The House and Senate expect to adj
iourn over from next Thursday unES

inventors to experiment with the VEN
tilators of the two legislative halls.
$4,000 have been appropriated for
this purpose.
A movement, thought to have been
gathering strength for a week or two,
fully developed itself in the House
yesterday, in a motion made by Mr..
Judd, of Illinois, to kilk the pending
tariff bill in order, as pc states, that
the House might get to work on a
vast amount of business which is
pending before it. A furious debate
arose between Mr.. Schenck, as Chair
man of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, on one side, and Messrs. Lo-
gan, Judd and Others, who were de-
nounced as of the party of revenue
refOrmers, on the other. W Toi sa7i'o
In the course of the debate it came
out that Judd wanted to substitute
his own, for a reduction of the tariff
and internal taxation, and this fact
weakened very materially the oppo-
sitiOn to the pending bill. The ques.
ton TO indefinitely postpone the bill,
tits believed, would have been car
ried, but the intention being to sup
plant a new measure, not only tariff
but new internal bill, the House
voted by more than three TO one tC
continue work on old bills.
The manner in which the tariff has
been contested, inch by inch, led Mr.
Schenck ia the course of his debate L

The departure of Colonels Rhett, Jen

Egyptian army is announced. It is no
longer a secret that Egypt and Turkey
have both been preparing for war. For
years past Prussian and French officers

service Tor the purpose OF putting the
Turkish military education on a footing
with that of other European Powers, and
now that the improvements in the i'm
plements of modern warfare have been
so great as to require thorough change
of military tactics, the Viceroy of
Egypt evidently feels that he can only
