The Family Prisoner.

One of the most horrible instances of
female wickedness since the days of the
Borgia, (who used the aqua tofana with
such freedom is that now before court
inDerlv, Conn. A woman named Mrs.
lydia Sherman is held there charged
with many murders Altogether she is
supposed to have killed off three hus-
bands and eight children by giving them
small doses of arsenic; but it is the death
of her Inst husband, Mr.. Sherman and
that of his children, for which the law is
now seeking to make her responsible.
The alleged murdress is q tine-looking
woman. with black, lustrous eyes, and
a good figure, and a prepossessing man
ncr, ana taste for elaborate dress
Cupidity seems to have prompted all her
murderOus movements. She wanted to
own by herself, all that her husband
posse ssed, (which was not so much, and
to this end desired first to get rid of all
the children and then remove him to
"another and better world, In the
to be no doubt Of the woman s guilt. and
the nature of the testimony leaves it in
no dispute. She professed the warmest
attachment for her victims, every one,
watched tenderly and assiduously at
their bed sides, and literally murdered
them by inches while bestowing caresses
on them Her victims all died plainly
of the effects of arsenic, and their bodies
being exhumed, the traces of arsenic
were fully exposed by means of chemical
analysis. In the liver of one of the
murdered parties the amount of arsenic
found, to use the chemists words, "was
simply enormous"-it was certainly the
maximum amount that the human system
is capable of absorbing" To all this
proof of her guilt the witness listened
with an air of elegant nonchalance, but
it is probable that, Notwithstanding all
her beauty and cunning, she will have
to go to trial

Picture of a Chinese CITY.

To give correct idea of Chinese city
says correspondent, is next to an I'M
possibility. Aftel passing through two
gates, over two bridges, along several
zigzag passage !, and then penetrating a
labyrinth Of streets, all idea of the points
of the compass is lost, and so it continues
until you get out again, which without a
guide would be almost hopeless task.
Six feet | think would exceed the width
of some of the streets, which are so
thronged that one feels as though thread
ing bazaar. The roofs of the houses
project until they almost meet overhead.
The natives live mostly in the upper
story, the lower one being used for mer
chandise or as workshop. Cinnamon
are very dextrous in various trades, ex-
ceiling III carvings, filagree work. and
other handicraft. The shop signs are as
numerous as with us, and generally hang
perpendicularly, with the edge to the
street, are painted on both sides, and
road from top downward, is usual
with Chinese writing The colors are as
varied rs ours, though gilt characters on
black ground seem to be the favorite.
The joss houses or temples are particu
larly interesting to strangers. The
interiors are very snowy in gliding and
embroidery. In some of them may be
seen idols from ten inches to as many
feet in height, most of them of the
human form-not divine, but rather of
the opposite character. The word joss
is corruption of the Portuguese dos
but think some of their images person
ify Satan-so l understood my Chinese
guide to say The Chinese have three
forms of religion-Confucianism, Budd
hism and Taonism-all of which orig
mated several hundred years before the
Christian era. There are ten or twelve
Christia churches and chapels here now
four of which are American and four
the others Roman Catholic.
Two of the Protestant churches are in
the old city. Bishop Williams, of the
American Episcopal mission, is stationed
here, and the Rev. Robert Nelson, of
Virginia who came out in 1851. Their
labor and that of others has been bless
ed, for there is now native officiating
in one of the chapels in the Chinese city
aud another at village near Ivy, while |

A SlnH Lar Case.

If the claimant to the Tichborne es-
tates be really Sir Roger 1ichborne, he
presents a most wonderful example of
the sorry tricks which memory may play
a man. He can recollect with extraordi-
nary dlstinctness multitude of tritling
circumstances which happened twenty or
thirty years ago, while totally forgetting
other events Of great Importance in his
life. He can remember the shape of
yacht which friend of his once had,
and what sort of pipe brother officer
smoked. But he cannot even read the
letters he wrote at the time. As for his
mental requirements, they seem to have
been wiped ont with a sponge French
was almost his native tongue-now he
cannot read or speak q word of it He
passed examination at college in Greek
and Latin, aid yet cannot tell now
whether Virgil wrote in poetry or prose,
and is of opinion that Caesar was Greek
writer. He once played chess, but now
cannot tell what q pawn is, does not
know what way a bishop moves, and
never heard of a gambit. These freaks
of memory are little too remarkable to
be explained on any ordinary hypothesis.
A man may forget all the Latin he learnt
at school, but he is likely to preserve
some faint recollection of the nature of
Virgirs and Caesars works. This Sir
Roger Tichborne seems more likely to
end his days as felon than as the pro-
prietor of an estate worth S25, 900 year.

The supply Of Food.

The relations OF the cattle supply TO
the population OF tho country are inter.
CT ing and important. IT in declared by
u statistician that the census returns show
il to be an unvarying rule for thirty
years that TO every one hundred OF the
population there must he eighty neat
cattle, that OF these eight must be work
ing oxen, and twenty eight must he milch
cows by this rule then the condition
of the market and OF the country is
known. For 100000 people there
must be 100000 100 OF neat cattle. Sew.
eral of the Eastern States, and some of
the Southern fall far below the proper
ton named above, and hence they import
meat, butter, eli ,ese, &c. Some of the
figures are curious In 1910 Alabama
had lib cattle to 100 people, in 1850, o.,
in 1860, 81. Texas in the latter year
had 900, and Florida 400 to the 100 peo-
pie. For the United States the average
in 1910 was 81, in 1850 was 20, in 1860
was 81. In New York the deficiency
grows aonualy more marked, MS the
population of cities increases. The de-
ficiency has been going on for years,
and becoming steadily more marked III
the East. All the States east OF the
Mississippi, with the exception OF Ala
bama, Florida, and Illinois, deprecated
from an average of l45 per cent. in 1910
to lis in 1850, and were below this ratio
in 1860. Examination of the returns in
separate States shows that the distrlbu-
ton and movement of cattle, like that of
the human race, are from East to West
and Southwest, in obedience to some
mystic ious law. The same may he said
of the bread supply. Year by year the
old States are depending on the new for
their cereals, and .he centre of produc-
ton is fast moving beyond the Mississippi.
The whole question, both in relation
to bread and to meat, is OF great interest,
and we may well pause and consider
whether this land has an inexhaustlble
supply of food and whether there is not
n wanton waste in progress which may
yet bring woful want. Methods of
agriculture are loose and protitless and
land is suffered to wear out when its
powers could easily be preserved. At
present cattle cannot be raised for food
with profit against the competition of
free open plains Of the Southwest and
the short and fodderless winters. But
we are actually losing our proportion of
cattle for the home supply of milk and
its products. This, at all events, should
be kept up. There is little fear that
Texas will not respond to all that may
be demanded. Her cattle resources are
almost unbounded, and so long as the
present fruitfulness prevails the favorite
dinner piece de resistance shall not fail in |
all the land.

A Newspaper Feat.

Hugh McDermott, of the Jersey CITY
HerdLd, states the following incident :.
Years ago, when the fugitive slave law
was creating great excitement and indig-
nation IN many par of the country, and
particularly in Massachusetts,, Daniel
Webster was announced to deliver set
speech in Fanueil Hall, Boston. Every
body was anxious to learn his views and
see his defence for the championship OF
that law. The press of New York sent
their best men and most rapid reporters.
There was an extra force of compositors
in each offire waiting the arrival of the
reporters with the great speech" The
headlines for the big extra were all in
type. 1t somewhat staggered the ambi-
ton of the rival journalists when they
saw the "Herdld Extra with Daniel
Webster's speech flying round the town
just twenty minutes after the steamer
arrived from Fall River The fact was,
Mr.. Bennett had turned the steamboat
into a temporary printing-office. He
had printers stands and cases taken
from the Herald Office and placed in one
of the saloons of the steamer and, dis
patching half dozen printers with the
reporters, they remained at Fall River
until the reporters returned from Bos-
ton and, then, taking the steamer for
New York, the compositors went to work
at their cases in the saloons, and put in
type the great s eech of Daniel Webster
as fast as 'lC reporters wrote out their
notes. " hat an ingenious feat, and

How They DIE. The buffaloes OF
Ceylon do not seem to comprehend the
uses and dangers of railroads. Their
pastures are infested with leeches, and
as they dislike the method of blood-let-
ting practiced by these creatures, they
go up at night to repose on the bare and
dry strip of soil between the rails of the
Columbo Railway. This proves, how
ever, to be but a jumping out of the fry
ing pan into the fire, so to speak, for the
trains do not stop for the poor buffaloes
to get out of the way, and they suffer a
much more effectual blood-letting than
that inflicted by the leecEes. Hundreds
of animals Ire killed in this way every
month, and yet they do not learn to get
out of the way, which proves that they
profit by experience no more than man
kind do in this matter of avoiding dan
gers and accidents.

The governor caused the man, cage and

over, the governor sent for quail in a
wooden cage, and offered to sell it to
his guest for ten thousand roubles. The
