New YoRK's LAST Mystery. last
Tuesday morning the body of young,
we'll dressed, and beautiful lady was
fonnd on the Long Island beach, near
Gold Spring. There we're evidences Of
murder, and, perhaps, of outrage pre-
cedlng it. At the coroner's inquest
nothing definite was ascertained, except
that one Of the rings on the lady's finger
was engraved with the initials J. FL. It
was surmised that the deceased had been
thrown overheard from some ono of the
yachts cruising the day before in the
harbor. Circumstances begin to connect
this tragedy with the fate of Miss Jennie
Hicks, tho most fashionable dressmaker
OF Troy, who nnaccountably disappeared
from her home on Saturday, the 2d in
slant.

Mr.. Bentham: The number of mamma

fishes. at about 10000; insects, ut above

SETTLING THE NEW NORTHWEST

The claim made by the promoters
OF the Northern Pacific Railroad, as
to the excellent character of the
country traversed by that thorough
fare, seems to be verified by the fact
that settlers are moving to the line
of the road in Minnesota and East
ern Dakota in unprecedented num-
bers. A late number of the st.
Paul Pioneer says:
"The roads leading to the Red
River Valley are literally covered
with emigrant wagons, with their
usual accompaniments of families,
furniture, and stock of all kinds.
The wagon roads from Sauk Centre
to st. Peter show daily accessions
to the vast caravan vending its way
to the fertile regions OF Northern
Minnesota. The extent of the great
incoming tide of humanity can be
best estimated on the main road be-
tween Alexandria and Pomme de
Terre. Two hundred wagons per
day pass over this portion of the
route northwest, and the eamp-hres
are seldom allowed to go out-a
fresh tram of emigrants arrives al
most as soon as its predecessor has
resumed its march. A noticeable
feature of this years emigration is
its quality-the wagons come loaded
with household goods and farming
implements, and are followed by
herds of cattle and other stock
which in quality would do credit to
any country"

THE LONG AGO.
gY cAERIK BELL SISCLAR.

There's beautiful isle in the long ago.
All flooded with golden light,
And river that flows by the margin green.
Whose waters are wonderous bright.
There's a bark that gfides with snowy sail
And the music of silver oar,
That carries US back TO the shining gates
Of that beautiful past once more.
Ahi every heart holds some sweet dream
OF beautiful long ago,
Bright hopes were nursed in the long ago,
Sweet flowers we gathered there,
And the walls of this beautiful past is hung
With many an image fair.
And oh. there is room for the feet to tread
This path Of the gone years:
There are joys that bloom in Memory's fields
And a fount for our bitter tears.
And that fount holds many hallowed tear
We've wept in the long ago.
There are happy dreams the heart holds deal
Bright dreams of the long ago;
And sacred tears for perished hopes
That will return no more.
And thus in tangled web of life 50
We weave our smiles and tears: -
Yet the soul has holy memories
That cling to the departed years.
All. drop the silken curtain now
Of the beautiful long ago. -'i 70

A grand court dinner was gwen
at the palace in Berlin, on Saturday
at which seven hundred guests were
present.
In the Philadelphia Ledger ap-
peared an advertisement: Wanted
ten good pointers" BY breakfast
time the advertiser was over-run by
dog merchants, with all sorts OF
specimens of pointers" As he de
sired ten of that class of bricklayers
known as "pointers," his surprise
may be imagined.
The Commercial says: There are
several things in favor of General
Moves. In the first place, he hasn't a
wooden head; and, in the second
place, he has wooden leg, having
lost a member on the Fourth ofJuly,
at A celebration in Georgia, the fire

FRENCH PEASANT.
Their Conduct During the
War.

If am asked what was the atti-
tude of the peasants during the war
and between the two armies, | reply
that their behavior was the most la
mentable of all the lamentable spec
tacles in this unhappy struggle.
In the Ardenes the people were
not heroic, but at any rate they as
sisted the French army, helped the
wounded, and were not in Normandy
and the Beauce, where l was after
ward stationed, the state of demor-
alization was frightful.
The peasants were too selfish to
make the last sacrifice for their own
soldiers; and thus both from fear
and from interest became subser-
Went to the Germans, furnishing
them with provisions and other as
sistance. The people of Bonnieres,
between Nantes and Evreux, were
weak enough to send their letters to
the Prussians at Nantes that they
might be read before being forward
ed toEvreux.
With rare exceptions they did
nothing for the wounded; but if we
happened to be successful in an ac-
tion l cannot describe the low fe-
rocity with which they turned upon
the Germans before whom they had
so recently been cringing.
At Oueqses the ambulance had
some difficulty in preventing two
wounded Barvians from being mas
sacred by the people.
At st. Leonard a peasant actually
amused himself with pulling the
broken leg of a German, for the
mere sake of causing him tor
ture.
At Ouzouer the people thronged
round a solitary wounded officer,
and assailed him with threats and
insults of all kinds. And their
stupidity was equal to their wicked
ness.
They were certain that we were
in communication with the Prus-
SLAMS, because we were not afraid of
them; and accused us of firingrock-
cts to point out the position of the
army to the enemy.
/ do not deny that devoted hearts,
and souls above the common, were
occasionally to be met with.
have heard from peasants of
both sexes golden words, which will
remain in my recollection as long
as live; but the great majority,
even when intelligent, are shame
fully demaralized, and scandalously
profigate, selfish and wicked.

CLOVES.

Cloves are the dried unexpanded
buds of the Glove tree, a celebrated
spice growing on the Island of Am
boyna, in Sumatra, Zanzibar, Bour-
bon and Cayenne; the culture and
trade in this article was a monopoly
in the hands of the Dutch for many
years. The imports into the United
States are about two hundred thou
sand pounds annually, and into
England about one million. The
name is derived from the resem-
blance of the specie to small naiis'
and in all countries is called by =
name having this significance.
