Who Can She Be-The Young Lady
who Died from Poison in Fifth
AYeuue Stage. -
From the New York world. Monda


A young lady, apparently about %
years of age, with dark hair and ewes,
was found unconscious in Fifth avenue
stage at the corner Of Forty
street on Saturday night, and taken to
st. Luke's Hospital, where she died
yesterday morning from the effects of
poison, undoubtedly taken with suicidal
intent. 1t appears that while she was
riding in the stage, and when at Forty
seventh street, her condition and strange
appearance attracted the attention of
some of the passengers, who notified
Officer Mcmillan, of the mounted squad,
who rode off to procure assistance.
While he was absent the. woman re-
lapsed into insensibility, and was taken
to st. Luke's Hospital. By the exer-
tions Of the surgeons in attendance the
patient rallied several times, but when
questioned as to her relatives and place
of residence, either would not or could
not give the surgeons any information.
Finally she became unconscious, and
remained in that condition until death
ensued. The deceased was respectfully
attired in a brown silk dress with over
skirt and black silk basque. No clue
to her name could be found on her
clothing until one of her shoes, which
was of fine quality, though very much
worn, was removed, and on the inside
lining of the shoe was found written
"Miss A. Mapes Tor Maps), No. 4Ol3,"
and this may lead to the Identification
of the remains. 1t was also supposed,
from a newspaper-slip found in the
pocket of her dress, that the deceased
had advertised in morning journal
under the name of Homeless" for a
situation where her services would be
deemed an equivalent for her board and
the comforts of home, but it is not
known whether she succeeded in OBJ
tanning the home she was in search of.
An external examination of the remains
showed that the unfortunate woman
was pregnant, and it is therefore be-
lieved that she had been seduced and
most likely deserted and left in a pen
niless condition. The body of the un-
fortunate young woman was taken to
the Morgue fo" Identification. Coroner
Young will make thorough investiga-
ton of this mysterious case.

they broke over the fences into the re-

doors. They came, too, on the other
side, from the Place de Carrousel; black
masses of men, pressing closer and
closer; they, too, broke in everywhere.
No one opposed them; the guards were
gone. There were horrible cries, and
screams, and oaths. From these thief

A Rare COnScienfiOuSneSS.

The following on dit has cropped up
relative to the now famous Erckmann-
Chatrain tales. 1t is rarely that Joint
authorship has succeeded so well as it
has in this case. Erckmann, the phi
losopher, given to much dreaming and
reyerie over his pipe and bottle of beer,
and Chatrain, the soldierly man of ac-
ton, make together a perfect man.
"Their power of working tog&-her is
equalled by their wonderful conscien-
tiousness. They will never publish q
work which they think morally or ar
tistically incorrect. Two years ago they
had written @ tale for the Journal des
Debats, and for which they were to re-
ceive large payment. Its subject
was, "The Workingmen from l840 to
1870" Before sending the story to it's
destination they read it through to-
gether. The perusal was ursatisfac.
tory. They considered it poor, and,
though they might touch it up, they
felt that it would never be what they
wished. Suddenly Chatraia said,
"This is failure. We have worked
hard, but we have deceived ourselves.
This book represents a large sum of
money, but when we have received it
we shall not be much richer, and we
shall have published poor book. AS
we are both in bad humor today you
shall 60 to Alsace tomorrow and dream
and take the air there. I shall remain
here. But before you go we will burn
our manuscript lestwe should be tempt
ed to use it," "Quite right" said
Erckmann; eve will burn it," Accord
ingly, on the morrow they met and 81
lently tore up the manuscript leaf by
leaf, threw it into the fire and saw the
hard work of six months disappear in
smoke and flames. To how many mo-
dern authors might it not be appropri-
ately said, "Go and do likewise !;
nay, even before re-reading your manu-
script"

The Golden Year.
BY ALFRED yESNYsoE

N.
Wesleep and wake and sleep, but all things move
The sun flies forward to his brother sun:
The dark earth follows wheeled in her ellipse;
And human things returning on themselves
Move onward. leading up the golden year.
All. though the times when somernew thought
can bud
Are but as poets seasons when they flower.
Yet seas that daily gain upon the shore
Have ebb and flow conditioning their march.
And slow and sure comes up the golden year.
Then wealth no more shall rest in mounded heaps.
But smit with freer light shall slowly melt
In many streams to fatten lower lands,
And light shall spread, and man be liker man
Through all the seasons Of the golden year.
Shall eagles not be eagles? wrens be wrens?
II all the world were falcons, What OF that?
The wonder of the eagle were the less,
But he not less the eagle, Happy days,
Roll onward leading up the golden year.
Fly, happy. happy sails. and bear the Press, =
Fly, happy with the mission of the Cross;
Knit land to land, and blowing heavenward.
With silks, and fruits and spices. clear of toll,
Enrich the markets of the golden year.
But we grow old All when shall all mems good
Be each mans rule. and universal peace
Lie like q shaft of light across the land,
And like lane of beams athwart the sea.
Through all the circle of the golden year.

The Camel'S Hump.

Modern research has determined
curious circumstance of an organic con q
trivance in the camel and leech, un like ,
as they are in structure, functions and
habits, which has reference to supply
ing them with food from storehouses in
their own bodies till supplies are attain
able from other sources. s.,, .l..a a
The hump is an immense collection
of fat stored in reticulated cells piled
one upon another, which is concentrat-
ed food. When fodder cannot be had,
as frequently occurs on their long cara
van travels in the desert, q peculiar set,
of absorbent vessels draw upon the
magazine-the hump-cawylng the fat
into circulation till food from without
puts stop to the draft on the back
The hump is very sensibly diminished
at times-even being almost completely
leveled, but that which was thus bor-9 b
rowed to sustain life temporarily is i'm
mediately replaced when the stomach
is set in motion again in its accustomed
manner.
The medical leech or bloodsucber,
low as it is in the organic scale of life,
is as carefully provided for in regard to
the contingencies of life as the king of
the country. AS the blood passes down
the glllet of the leech the current
divides right and left to enter two lat
eral tubes, instead of entering directly
into the stomach. These canals are
folded zig-zag, backward and forward in
loops, as it were, from the head to the
tail. When perfectly filed the leech
lets go its hold. 1t is then plump and :
full, with stock of food on hand that
may ordinarily last from one to two
years, in case it has no opportunity to
take in another in that long time.

The Years Wrecking Record in England.

The yearly return of wrecks and cas-
ualties on the coast of Great Britain and
Ireland, for 1870, has just been issued,
and furnishes several particulars of gen
eral interest. The number of wrecks,
casualties and collisions from all causes
on and near the coasts Of the United
Kingdom and in the surrounding seas,
reported in 1870, was 1902, or 612 less
than the number reported in 1869, and
less than were reported in any year
since 1864. Few gales of remarkable
force and duration occurred during
1870, and to this may be attributable
the reduction of the number Of wrecks
and casualties. The most serious gale
of the year commenced on the 18th Of
October, and upon that and the follow
ing day SO shipping disasters are re-
ported to have occurred. The returns
show that the number Of lives lost from
wrecks, casualties, and collisions on or
near the coasts of the United Kingdom
in 1870 was 774. This is l59 less than
were lost in 1869, and is also less than
the number in any year since 1865.
The lives lost in 1870 we're from 124
ships; SO of these were laden vessels, Is
were in ballast, and in 7 cases it is not
known whether the vessels were laden
or light; III of these ships were en-
tirely lost, and Is sustained partial dam
age. Of the TIA mon who peIished, los
were in vessels that foundered, liz
through cases of collision, and 467 in
vessels stranded or cast ashore. The
remaining number (99) were lost from
various causes, such as being washed
overheard in heavy seas, by explosions,
&c. The greater number Of the wrecks
occurred on the east coast-7O1, or
nearly half of the whoIe, being
counted to it. The west coast comes
next, being responsible for Az; while
the south coast counts l48, the Irish
coast l53, and north and west of Scot
| land 46.

Short Sugar Crop.
From the New Orleans Picayune. Oct. d.

The sugar crop, it was generally ex-
pected, would give a fair average yield,
but according to the statements of
number of planters who called upon us
yesterday, this has been one of the
for years, to say nothing of our unrelia-
BILE and expensive labor. To begin
with: The stubble cane suffered ex-
tensively from the frost last winter, and
seed cane was much injured. Add to
this that, contrary to the general inn
preston the breadth of ground put in
cane this season is much less than that
of last year-our informant's estimate
is little more than one-half The sea-
son, too, has been q most unfortunate
one for the planter.
The long. continued rains of early
summer laid an embargo upon field
operations. 1t is within cur knowledge
that one planter did but day and
half's work in his field during the
whole month of June, and we may add
that the story of one is the history Of
many. A more unpropitious season for
working the crop has not been encoun-
tered, it is alleged, for many years. The
prospective yield may therefore readily
be estimated. According to our in
formation, the crop in West Baton
Rouge, Lafourche, st. John, st. James
and ST. Charles is distressingly poor, as
general thing, with, as is understood,
here and there an enviable exception
In some fields the grass is as high as the
cane. A number of planters will not
grind at all. Some fields do not give
half hogshead to the acre.

TINE TO PAINT-The best time to do
outdoor painting is the present. Cool,
dry weather permits the paint to harden
and form a tough surface. In hot
weather the pores of the wood soak up
theoil. which, rendered more fluid by
the heat. is rapidly absorbed before it
has time to harden. The lead is taen
left adhering only very loosely, ana Is
brushed off at the least contact. Be
sides great objection to painting in
summer is found in the numerous flies
which find premature grave thereon,
and in the cool autumn months this is
avoided,

An Instance of HerOism.
From the Lansing Republican.

FROM Tue LduSluS hepuDuCau
An instance of remarkable presence
of mind, in saving property in the late
fires in Michigan, has come under our
notice, well worth relating. A large
portion of Gratiot county was overrun
by the fires the last two or three weeks,
destroying dwellings, fences, timber,
saw mills, and other property. The
only mill saved in that section was that
belonging to D. L. Case ard James M.
Turner, of this city. An old English
man in their employ, named Jacob
Laird, saw that the mill was in the
range Of the fire, and that it was
speedily coming upon him, and he
made preparations to meet and fight it
like an old soldier, for he had served
the Union cause gallantly during the
late Rebellion. Taking all the movable
property from the mill. blacksmith
shop, and boarding house, he buried it
where it would be safe from the de-
vouring element. Then he dug series
Of wells, inclosing the mill and hun
dreds of thousands of feet of lumber,
placing by the side of each well a bar
rel filled with water, pail in each we'll
and another in the barrel. These wells
were dug thick as needed for the
speedy protection Of the property. One
we'll he dug deeper than the others,
that in case his efforts to save the prop
erty should be in vain and his own life
in danger, he could jump in as last
resort.
The fire came down upon him like a
tornado. With his force of hands he
met it, and where it crossed the line
here and there, setting fire to piles of
lumber, the water ready at hand
quenched the flames. At last he came
off victorious, for he saved the mill,
lumber and all the property, with the
loss of his own hair, eyebrows, whis-
kers, and even the woolen shirt from off
his back. When rallied by his en-
ployers as to whether he "did not find
it hot work." his reply was, at was not
much of soldier who couldn't face the
fire, after facing as many cannon as he
had
AS fitting reward, Laird's wages
have been nearly doubled, and he was
furnished with fine suit of clothes,
and told that he could remain there as
long as he chose.
