The Unfortunate Cared For.

When weak mined girl falls prey
to the Vaccinations of libertine, the
world, instead of endeavoring to care
for the future morals and bestow kind
look or encouraging word upon the fall
Ell one, is lavish in its denunciations,
and by its vindictiveness, plungs still
deeper into misery the soul that might
be saved by a friendly hand. This was
instanced on Sunday night, in the case
of the young girl mentioned in the
American as having been ruined in a
house of ill-fame on last Friday night,
and who, when she fully realized her
awful situation, wished to cover her
shame by an attempt at suicide. After
Lieut. Lepson had caused the unfortu-
nate girl to be conducted to the Station
House on Sunday night he dispatched
Policeman Fitzgerald to the house of
her sister with instructions to state to
her the exact situation of the wronged
one, and begged of her not to cast the
fallen off, but to receive her so as to
cause her to forget in a measure the
great wrong which had been inflicted
upon her. The sister, with whom the
injured girl had lived since the death of
her parents, heard the story of the
policeman with that bewilderment and
anguish as only mother or sister can
feel, and instead of saying, 81 disown
her." she followed the policeman to the
station house, and the scene that en-
sued between the sisters is too sacred to
place before the world. Suffice it to say
that at midnight, the one who but few
hours before would have willingly launch,
ed her soul into eternity for the wrong
committed by another, repaired to her
home with the arm of her loving sister
encircling her waist The meeting al
the station house was far different one
than is nightly seen at that place, and
one that would have touched with pity
the heart of the seducer, had he been
present. Baltimore American.

Curing Cod Fish,

An Eastern paper thus describes the
curing of cod One of our fishing vii
lagos presents quite lively scene. The
boats that have been out during the day
on the tishing-grounds, usually only a
mile or two from the harbor, come
home in the evening laden. On reach
ing the stages the fish are one by one
flung on the stage, and the head and en-
trails removed, the liver being preserved
for the oil. Then the fish passes to the
"splitter," who lays it open perfectly
fiat the "salter" takes it, and after
remaining the proper time in salt, it is
spread out on the "flake" to dry and
harden in the sun. While undergoing
this process it requires constant atten-
ton. On the approach of night, Or
during wet weather, it is piled in little
heaps that resemble small haycoeks, the
skin of the fish being outward so as to
throw off the rain or dew. When thor,
oughly dried, it is taken to the store,
where it is "culled," or sorted into va
rieties suited for the different markets.
The different kinds are known as "Mer-
chantable," Madeira, west India, u
and dun" or broken fish. The first
named is the best quality F.; the second a
degree inferior, while the third is con-
sidered good enough for the indians
the Dun" Is used at home. The
sounds" or air-bladders, and tongues
of the cod are picked in kegs, and make
an excellent article of food-when fresh
they are esteemed delicacy. The cod
liver oil is world-renowned for its med
icinal qualities. The best is made with
out boiling, by applying to the ivers,
when quite fresh, a moderate degree of
heat. Then filtering the oil three times
in succession through thin flannel or
similar texture. When carefully pre-
pared it is quite pure, nearly inodorous
and of crystalline transparency. About
300 tons are exported annually. The
value here being $240 per ton.

Dexter,s Time Beaten,

On the Cold Spring course at Milwau-
kee, the great race between Goldsmith
Maid and Lucy lately took place. The
start was effected after much difficulty.
The Maid was rank, and insisted upon
forging ahead without word, and Lucy
was unfortunate in getting place. After
three or four efforts they got off, the
Maid slightly leading around the turn.
She worked very smoothly, but on the
back stretch Lucy caught her. For sew
eral hundred yards they trotted nearly
neck and neck. At the three-quarter
pole the Maid began to draw away from
the other and show considerable of a
gap, which was closed up again, how
ever, as they whirled into the home
stretch. Up the stretch they trotted
very evenly, but the Maid lead by a
length, and steadily kept it to the end.
When the time was announced, 2.20t,
The spectators seemed very much sur
prised.
On the second heat the start was
effected without trouble, and the bell
sounded at the first effort. Both mares
trotted very fast to the quarter, but here
the pace was too hot for Lucy, and
she slackened her speed. The Maid
was dashing down the course like light
ming She drew round the quarter
pole, and flew away from the other like
a kite before the wind. 1t was evident
to all that Budd was driving for time,
and instantly every neck was stretched
to catch his movements He bent down
in the sulky and encouraged the little
flyer by gentle words and manipulation
of the reins. Goldsmith Maid and her
flying feet were eagerly watched us she
swept into the home stretch. On she
came like flying fawn, her driver never
casting his eye to the right or to the
left, He was driving the mare for speed,
not merely to win the heat. He had
never touched her with his whip, never
called to her in a loud voice, but simply
let her slip along in her own way. She
passed under the string with perfect
ease six lengths ahead Of Lucy. As she
did so, long, lank, lean badger crossed
the track, holding in his hand an old
silver watch. He was almost crazy With
excitement. He gesticulated wildly,
and shouted, 81 bet thousand dollars
that's the best time ever made " The
spectators looked at the badger and
laughed in derision nevertheless every
one was satisfied that fast time had been
made. All eyes were turned toward the
judges stand. There seemed to be
some hesitation there about announcing
the time, Presently the board was hung
out, and on it was written the astonish-
ing figures, 2.17. Dexter's best time was
2.174, and it was beaten by the Maid
by one-fourth of a second The Maid
was driven by Budd Doble. She is
owned in New York.

A BRAVE WOMAN. Colorado is the
home of the bravest woman of the age,
a Mrs. Van Harmon. One day, while
her husband aud several other men were
in pursuit of Indians, her two little
children came running into the house
crying, "The Indians, the Indians -
Two shots fired at the children struck
the thick oak door just as the young
mother shut it in the face of three Chey-
enne warriors. After boiling the door
and piling bed, bureau and stove before
it the mother sent her little ones into
the cellar. Taking revolver and an
old rusty rifle, the heroic young woman
stood near the open window, shooting
only when painted face made itself
visible in the brush. This determined
conduct kept the Indians at respectful
distance, and after two hours of vain
mannuvering to outwit the brave wo-
man they set fire to the barn and left.
The smoke attracted the attention of
the scouting party, who returned in time
to prevent much damage by the flames.
for themselves; but when the emergency
comes some good-natured fellow will,
slip on his coat, install his suffering,
comrade in his place in the workshop,
and give him the benefit of what he can
earn for the day. This relief is but tenn
porary, for still the unemployed has no
steady job, and until that be found
he must continue to seek for situation.
Hundreds of unemployed are by this
kindness of their comrades, spared the
necessity of seeking charity in the high
ways, or saved from the commission of
some crime to which their desperation
tempts them. The fluctuations of trade
in large city like New York will ever
keep among us great numbers of me-
chanics for whom there cannot be en-
ployment throughout the year. There
are busy seasons for almost every trade,
and at these times the cities become
filled with operatives, who must be dis
charged as the dull season comes on. 1t
is creditable to these persons that, when
deprived of the opportunity of working
as skilled mechanics, they are prepared
to accept such other employment as can
be obtained. The records of the intelli-
gence offices show that hundreds of
artisans, during the dull season, seek
and accept situations as laborers, or are
willing to engage as farm hands in the
country.

The Muscular Strength of Insects.

The strength of an insect can be finely
illustrated by a feat that was once per-
formed by beetle-oryctes maimon-a
variety that is quite common in the
United States. The beetle, for want of
any box at hand, was put beneath a
quart bottle full of milk upon table,
the hollow at the bottom allowing him
to stand upright. Presently, to the sur
prise of all in the room, the bottle began
slowly to move and glide along the
smooth table, propelled by the muscular
power of the imprisoned insect, and con-
tinued for some time to perambulate the
surface. The weight of the bottle and
its contents could not have been less
than three pounds and half, while that
of the beetle was about half a ounce, so
that it readily moved a weight one hun
bred and twelve times exceeding its own.
a better notion than figures can convey
will be obtained of this feat by srlppos-
ing a lad of fifteen to be imprisoned
under the great bell of st. Pauls which
weighs $4,000 pounds and to move it to
and fro upon smooth pavement by
pushing within against the side. We
have another instance of insect-power
that is quite as remarkable as the one
just related. A small kind of carbus, an
elegantly formed ground beetle, weigh
ing three and half grains; was once fas-
tened by silk thread to piece of paper,
weight having been previously laid
upon the latter. At distance of ten
inches from its load, the insect was able
to drag after it, upon inclined plane of
twenty-five degrees, very nearly eighty
five grains, but when placed on a plane
of five degrees inclination, it drew after
it one hundred and twenty-five grains,

in moving its load

TESTING DEATH. new and very sim
pie method for distinguishing between
real and apparent death has been recent
ly discovered by M. Laborde. When a
sharp steel needle-not cased only with
steel-is driven into the tissues of liv-
ing man or animal, in short time it
loses its metallic lustre, and becomes
dim-or, in scientific language, becomes
oxidized while a similar needle may re-
main an hour or more in the tissues of q
dead subject without undergoing any
apparent change. Hence, the oxidation
or non-oxidation of the needle affords a
decisive proof whether death is real or
only apparent.
