Return Of the Andrew johnson.

The revenue cutter Andrew johnson, re-
turned to Milwaukee this morning after a
trip along the west shore of Lake Michigan.
After leaving here, her first stopping place
was Sheboygan, where she took on 300
sacks ofpOtatoes. Herncxt stopping place
was Manitowoc, where she took on 80 pack
ages. This made in all about eight hun
bred packages with what she had shipped
at Milwaukee. She landed supplies at
Two Rivers, kcwaunec, Ahncpee and
Horns Pier. The cutter had also on board
go sacks of grain for Holland, Mich, but
the weather being so rough and cold she
returned with them to this port, from
whence they will be forwarded to their des-
tnation by the Engelmann line.
The cutter was covered with ice, her
wheel houses being coated, on her return to
Milwaukee. Her tow lines were all parted
in her efforts to get off . wrecked vessel
at Sheboygan, yesterday, and she was in no
condition to make the trip to Holland, a
port she could not enter even if all was
right and the weather not so cold.
Several changes have taken place in the
officers of the Andrew johnson within the
past few months. The following is list
of her officers as at present constituted:
Captain, David Evans; lst. Lieut., N. L.

Lost and Found.

The Eureka (Cal.) Vest Coast .Signol of
Oct. Is gets the following from lady cor
respondent in the Eel river country:
A lady in the south fork Of the Eel river
country furnishes the particulars of re
cent neighborhood excitement with a happy
termination We let her tell her story:
" Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall, of Elk Ridge, lost
their little girl few days since. The child
had been out with its father,an starting for
the house alone, took the wrong path and
wandered off into the woods. This was
just after noon. and the mother did not
miss her for several hours. When the fact
that she was lost became known, search was
instituted but without success. Darkness
came, but still no trace of the little wan
derer. The ueighbors, to the number Of
about n dozen, were Immediately notified,
and Il thorough search made of the woods
for miles around, hut without success.
The mother was nearly frantic, and as
that section abounds in bear sad apprehen-
sions Of the fate Of the little lost one were
visible on the faces of all. The search was
kept up all night, and just at daylight a
man named Ross, who had followed the
course of deep gulch, came to a tree which
had fallen across it, and seated on the roots
of it, holding on with both little hands.
was the object Of their search. This was
two miles from the house. She had walked
across the log, and it was the wonder ofall
how child two and half years old could
have crossed so dangerous place in safety.
She screamed and tried to run away when
first discovered but her father says her
little feet were so torn and sore that she
could not walk When told that the child
was found the parents could not speak.
No one expected that the the child would
be found alive, and when the little one was
returned to the arms of its mother the
scene was a most affecting one

On Dressing Hogs.

Two years ago many hogs were partially
or wholly lost, by becoming tainted after
they were dressed, and before the meat
cooled off. One instance came to our
knowledge, where two fine hogs, each
weighing 400 pounds, were injured by
faint. They were dressed on quite cool
day, thoroughly cleaned and washed off
with cold water. They were hung up
under she'd where cool breeze blew
over them, and yet the next morning there
was pereeptible faint in the carcasses.
To prevent this the body should be split
down the whole length, by dividing the
back bone This will admit the air, allow
the animal heat to escape, and keep the
meat sweet.
Quite cold weather will not always pre-
vent faint. 1t did not in the case allud-
ell to above. 1t is supposed by some that
it is even safer to dress when the thermom-
eter stands at about forty degrees. The
reason given is, that when the weather is
quite cold, the skin contracts, and prevents
the animal heat from escaping. Whether
this is 50 or not, we do not know.
This, however, is quite certain, that if
the carcass is split down there will be lit
tie or no danger Of the meat becoming
tainted; if it is not there is danger; and it
Is 50 trihinc work to do that is very poor
economy to omit it.
In sending hogs TO market il would I'M
doubtedly be more convenient to handle
them whole than if cut apart, and it may
be safe enough to keep them whole in such
hogs as are usually sent long distances,
those weighing only from 200 TO 500
pouhns.

A story of Cross-E1amination.

An excellent illustration Of the truth
that a lawyer may find no kind of knowl-
edge amiss at some time in his practice is
afforded by the following anecdote related
by the daughter of John Adolphus, the
English advocate:
y very extraordinary criminal case was
entirely decided by The knowledge my
father had picked up of nautical affairs in
his early voyages to and from the West
Indies.
Two Lascars were on trial for the muir
der of the captain, and the evidence of the
mate appeared conclusive. In the course
of his testimony, however, he said at the
time of the murder there was great confu-
sion, as the ship was in much peril, SO
that II required all the attention of the sailors
to prevent her striking rock.
My father, who was for the defense,
asked so many questions as to the number
of the crew, where each man was, and
what engaged in doing, that at length the
Judge whispered:
IL suppose, Mr.. Adolphus, these ques-
tons are to the purpose. | own | do not
see it, thinking no doubt, that the time
of the court was being wasted.
After "a few more questions as to the
particular duty each man was performing,
the witness had accounted for every man on
board, the captain being below, and the
two men numbering him. My father fixed
his eye steadily upon the witness, and said
in a calm, Yet IN searching and loud
voice:
Then who was at the helm -
The mate was thunderstruck. He grew
deathly rale and then dropped in fit
Upon coming to himself, he confessed HIM
self the murderer. In his false evidence
he had given to each man his position,
and had forgotten the most material place,
or rather, left none to fill it.

From Once Week.
A gentleman who has had fourteen
years experience in the matter regarding
which he now directs the attention of the
public, makes the appalling statement not
only tbat-as has long been generally
known-green papers for house-walls con
tain arsenical preparations which for years
may evolve poisonous particles, but that
arsenic is used not only in papers contain
ing green, but frequently, and even in
large quantities, in paper of all colors, even
in some that are nearly white. As his au-
thority, he quotes "an eminent analytical
chemist, late lecturer on chemistry ut St.
Bartholomew Hospital "-(this must be
either DR.. Stenhouse or the late DR.. Mat
thiesen Ito whom he sent papers of many
colors-dark- brown, buff, white, blue, and
various delicate shades of gray, drab, and
mauve, which, from the symptoms to which
they apparently gave rise, were suspected
of containing this metal. The results of
analysis were that, in every instance, the
papers which were taken from bedroom
walls contained arsenic, and clearly indi-
cate that lit is impossible for any one, pro-
fesslOnal or otherwise, to judge by the eye
whether paper contains arsenic or not,
or whether much or little The indica-
tions of poisoning caused by the paper con-
tanning only a little arsenic We're clear in
each case. After fourteen years suffering
with few interyals), from arsenical poison
ing from this source, the writer-whose
scientific position and power as an observer
is vouched for by the editor of the British
Nedieat Jomnal who publishes the paper
has giving up having paper on his walls,
and the atmosphere of his room is, he says,
far purer than it was. If dstemper or
oil-paint be substituted for paper, care
must be taken in the selection of the pig
ments, many Of which also contain arsenic,
nd have proved very injurious
