A Sad Scene.

Yesterday about noon a crowd
Of men, women and children
blocked up the sidewalk opposite
No. 452 Sixth avenue, near Twen.
ty.eighth street. Tho excitment
! was caused BY the appearance at
the second.foor windows Of that
ouse-which is a brick dwelling
house of most respectable appear
ance-ofa a lady attired in black,
whose eccentric actions naturally
arrested tho attention Of passers
in the street, and 80 caused the
assemblage of a crowd Of curious
gazers. The lady, who was of
prepossessiug appearance and ap-
parently about twenty-five years
! Of ago, would 60 from window to
window, shutting and opening .hcm
with strange gestures waved with
her hands to the people III the
street. Sometimes she would ap
pear at a window with a lighted
kerosene lamp in her hand, which
she would hold above her head
while she kept time with uplifted
finger to some incantation altered
by her, Then, having scanned
the crowd for awhile through an
opera glass, she placed small
silver bell upon the outer window
sill, and, having tinklcd it as if TO
enjoin silence, proceeded TO ad-
dress some vague remarks to her
audience. Afterwards she pro-
duced a large photograph album,
which she opened and placed on
the window-sill, calling by her
gestures the attention OF the peo-
pie outside to the pictures in it..
Her most touching action, though,
was when she came to the window
with a large doll dressed in blue,
which she caressed and held to
her bosom as though it were a
real child. At this, many of the
women in the crowd, who knew
probably the sad history Of the
hapless lady, could not refrain
from shedding tears. There We're
attendants in the room with the
insane woman, but they did not iu
any way intefere with her strange
aclions, wishing probably to hu-
NOR her and SO prevent a more
violent outbreak. 1t soon became
known to the crowd that this un-
fortunate lady was the widow OF
the late DR.. Connolly, the terrible
tragedy enacted by whom in West
Eleventh street is fresh in the
minds of our rea IS. Utterly
prostrated in mind by that event,
she was sent by her friends to an
asylum some time since, from
which she was removed within a
day or two, in the supposltion that
her mental equilibrium had been
restored. After u while two po-
liccmen entered the house. The
blinds of the windows were then
closed, and tho street was cleared
by the police From the New York
World, Oct. 2.

Waste Paper for Household
Uses.

Few housekecpcrs have time to
blacken their stoves every day, or
even every week. Many wash
them in either clean water or dish
water. This keeps them clean,
but they look very brown. After
a stove has been blackened, it can
be kept looking very well for a
long time by rubbing it with pa
per every morning. If [ occa'
sionaIly find a drop Of gravy or
fruit juice that the paper will not
take off, 1 rub it with a wet cloth,
but do not put on water enough to
take off the blackinS. I find that
rubbing with paper is a much
nicer way Of keeping the outside of
NY teakettle, cotfee-pot, and tea pot
bright and clean, than the old way
OF washing thcm in suds. The in
side of cotfee-pots and tea-pots
should be rinsed in clear, water,
and never in the dish water.
Rubbing with dry paper is also
the best way OF polishing knives
and tin-ware after securing. This
saves wetting the knife-handles.
If q little -four be held on the pa
per in rubbing tin ware and spoons,
thev shine like new silver. For
polishing windows, mirrors, lamp
chimneys, etc., l always use paper
in preference to any dry cloth.
Preserves and pickles, keep much
better if brown paper, instead of
cloth, is tied over the jar. Canned
fruit is not so apt to mould if a
piece of writing-paper, cut to fit the
can, is laid directly on the top ofthe
fruit. Paper is much better to
put under 3 carpet than straw.
1t is warmer, thinner, and makes
less noise when one walks over it,.
A fair ca1pet can bo made for y
room not in constant use, by pas
ting several thicknesses of news
paper on the floor, ovsr them a
coat Of wallpaper, and giving it q
coat Of varnish. In cold weather
l have often placed paper between
my bed-9uiIts, knowing that two
thicknesses Of papor arc as warm
as quilt. II it is necessary To
step on a chair, always lay pa
per on it; this saves rubbing the
1arnish. Children easily learn
the habit of doing so.-Technolo-

The SIza OF A LEG.-In Wor,
cester, in = lawsuit, plump fe'
male witness was asked by tho
council at what time the cars
passed her house on certain day.
She replied that she began knit
ting at three o'clock, and knit
twice around the leg of a stocking
before the train passed. Of course
the council then asked her how
long it would take her to knit
twice round. Some one remarked
that the time would depend on ths
size Of the stocking. The lady
readily replied that the stocking
was for herself, and the court
could exercise it's own judgment
and guess as to the size and time
required. The answer brought
down the bench, bar. jury and cit
izens generally, who were pres
ent.

EARLY RIsING.--We confess
that there is some philosophy in
the sentiments expressed in the
extract below from the New York
Times. "a light breakfast, q
cracker, and pinch Of SALT" are
all sheer nonsense. The writer
says:
All this talk about early rising
is moonshine. The habit of turn
ing out of bed in the middle of the
night suits some people; let them
enjoy it. But it is only folly to
lay down a general rule upon the
subject. Some men are fit for no.
thing all day after they have risen
early every morning. Their ener-
gies are deadened, their magma
tions are heavy, their spirits are
depressed. 1t is said you can work
so we'll in the morning. Some
people can, but others work best
at night; others again, in the al
ternoon. Long trial and expert
ment form the only conclusive
tests on these points. AS tor get
ting up early, because Professor
Cannon has written letters to
the papers proving the necessity
of it, let no one be goose enough
to do it. We all know the model
man, aged eighty: Il invariably
rise at five; | work three hours,
take light breakfast-Damely, a
cracker and a pinch Of salt-work
five hours more; never smoke,
never drink anything, but barley
water; eat no dinner, and 60 to
bed at six in the evening" II
anybody finds that donkeyfed
sort Of life suit him, by all means,
let him continue it.
But few people would care to
live to eighty on those terms. il
a man can not get all withered
and crumbled up on easier terms
than those, it is almost as well
that he should depart before he is
nuisance to himself and q bore
TO everybody else,

History OF CHICAGo.-Chicago
is situated on Lake Michigan, at
the mouth Of Chicago River. The
river affords tho only good harbor
on the West side Of the lake near
its Southern extremity, and to this
fact the city owed its original i'm
portance. The name IS Of Indian
origin, and is mentioned by the
French Jesuit Missionary Mar
quette, who first visited it IN 1913.
The town was first laid out in 1880,
and organized in 1888, when it
contained only twenty-eight votes.
In four years, the population in
creased to 1000. The rapid pro-
gress Of Chicago since 1887 is pro-
baby unparalleled in the growth
of cities. AS early as 1854, it was
announced that Chicago was the
largest primary grain depot in the
world. In all departments of
trade, it ranked among the first
cities Of the Union. The colossal
fortunes amassed BY many of it's
citizens were freely expended in
building up the city in a style of
unsurpassed magni6cence an d
grandeur. Chicago rated as the
fifth city in the Union, according
to the census of 1870. The popu-
lation, as asccrtained by the mar
shaIs, was reported to be 29S,977,
but it was claimed to be several
thousand more.

Sixteen Reasons.

4 writer IN an Engllsn Journal
gives the following plain and for,
chile reasons for abstinence from
the use of intoxicating liquors as
beverage. 1t is view sanction
ed both by religion and common
sense:
l. Because ale, porter, gin, rum,
brandy, etc., all contain a spirit
which is calculated to derange the
human system.
2. Because none of these drinks,
as an habitual beverage, are ever
useful, but always injurious to
persons IN health, and many pro-
Tossing Christians, both young
! and old have been ruined by them.
3. Because drunkenness is a be-
setting SIN, and leades to idleness,
quarrelling, swearing, fighting,
stealing, adultery, murder, and
almost every other sin, and finally
to eternal misery.
I. Because drinking produces
poverty, bankruptcy, destruction
Of property. loss Of reason, disease,
and premature death.
5. Because a great deal Of valu-
able time, labor, and capital are
worse than wasted upon making,
vending and using the drinks.
6. Because over seventy millions
Of money, being more than the
whole revenue, are annually ex-
pended upon them in the United
Kingdom, which ought to be laid
out in food and manufactures.
7. Because nearly six millions
of bushels OF good grain are annu-
ally destroyed in this Christian
land to make these liquors, while
the markets are high and many OF
the poor are starving.
s. Because intemperance OBJ
structs theprogress of civilization,
education, the religion of Jesus,
and every useful reform.
9. Because abstinence is sure
and safe, but drinking mod,
erately is dangerous, and has led
to ali the drunkenness in the
world.
10. Because l find I cannot eff.
fectually warn the drunkard, or
set him example unless l am my
self an entire abstainer.
II. Because 1 like to join those
who are exertins themselves to
promote the temporal and spirit
ual reformation and happiness OF
man.
12. Because it is important to
set a safe example Of perfecting
sobriety to our children, friends
and associates.
13. Because it is our Christian
duty to deny ourselves even OF
lawful things to promote the nap
piness Of others.
II. Because, while millions in
time and eternity have repented
of drinking, not one has ever re-
pentcd of abstaining.
Is. Because, while no blessing
is pronounced upon drinking, Gods
approval is frequently recorded in
favor Of abstinence. [See jer
xxxv.; Luke i, IS; Rom. xiv, q
Prov. XX, l.
16. Because I Ishould be ashamed
to touch, taste, handle, Or keep in
my house, the article which is
filing the land with dissipation
vice, poverty. misery, lamontatlon
and woe.

A Melancholy Sequelto Crime

The Camden Journal adds the
following to the paragraph an
nouncing the death Of Silas and
Skies Ingram, which wepublished
a few days ago:
No one who reads this can fail
to connect the names and circum-
stances with those Of a crime re-
Gently mentioned in this paper.
They recall those Of the Newman
murder. What strange, strange
phases Of human nature are pre-
scnted in this easel A young
man, inebriated, kills his brother
in-law, without any cause. He
fees, and at the same time his fa-
ther disappears from his accus-
toned walks ; the son is pursued
by the officers Of the law nothing
more is heard Of either, until
away in North Carolina, near Ra-
leigh, the two appear "sick and
partially deranged." The son
dies, leaving his father in a des-
perate situation.
Did the poor old MAJ, lavishing
his love upon his irst-born, leave
home and friends for the sake of
soothing or sympathizing with,
and helping to bear the remorsc
and anguish of his guilty and con-
scious-stricken boy? Did he yearn
over him, "bone Of his bone, flesh
Of his flesh y 60 along to help his
offspring forget, in the excitement
of u new home and surroundings ?
Did be 60 to watch over his boy,
who, though guilty Of the murder,
was crazed when the fatal deed
was done, and guard him from
from those who would snatch him
from bis yearning bosom to carry
to the scaffoId? The young mans
lips are closed in death. The laws
vengeance cannot reach him now,
for he has gone before a higher
tribunal: the Court OF Immaculate
Justice.

PRESERVING FARM TOOLS.

Every farmer should have can Of lin
seed oil and brush on hand, and when
ever he buys a new tool he should soak 1t
we'll with the oil and dry it by the fire or
in the sun before using. The wood by
this treatment is toughened and strength
ened and rendered impervious to water.
Wet new hay-rake, and when it dries it
will begin to be loose in the joints; but II
well oiled the wet viii have but slight eff
feet. Shovels and forks are preserved
from checking and cracking in the top OF
the handles by oiling; the wood becomes
as smooth as glass by use, and is far less
liable to blister the hand when long used.
Axe and hammer handles often break off
where the wood enters the iron; this part
particularly should be toughened with oil,
to secure durability Oiling the wood in
the eye Of the axe will prevent its swelling
and shrinking and sometimes getting
loose. The tools on large farm costs a
large sum of money; they should be OF
approved kind. 1t is poor economy at the
present extravagant prices OF labor to set
men to work with ordinary old.iashioned
implements. Laborers should be required
to return their tools to convenient places
provided for them after using they should
be put away clean and bright. The mould
boards OF ploughs are apt to get rusty from
one season to another; even if sheltered
they should be brushed over with Il few
drops of oil when put away and will then
remain in good order till wanted.

When Henry Ward Beecher went from
the Seminary at Cincinnati to Lawrence
burg, he was very poor, having salary
of four hundred dollars, half of which it
took to come on to New England and get
married. When he got back he had but
eighteen cents in his pocket. A kind
Methodist family entertained them for a
week, and then they took two rooms. Now
and then they received spare rib, some
times cast-off tlothesin which he felt sump-
tuously clothed, and secondhand shirts. He
was not above it, though large man, and
the giver thin man, sometimes; the fit
was not so perfect. In the church he had
nothing to make elders out Of, but all this
time he was delivered from discomfort and
grumbling. He had not much theology,
but what he had was like armor with the
buckler off, and it would not stick on. In
later years, he says he has worked harder
and both gained and lost. but don't think
he had as grateful and tender spirit as
he had in earlier days.
