THE CASE OF Mrs. M1rcHrLL,-rbe Bost

The CASE OF MRS. MITcHELL.-Tbe Boston
papers explain the mysterious absence OF Mrs.
Mitchell in that city on the b inst. by state
ment that when she left the Portland train she
was met and welcomed by young man, with
whom she left the depot. When it became
known that anxiety was felt for her safety, a
gentleman who saw the meeting at the sta
ton and knew the lady by sight, impaired the
incident to others, and this was the beginning
of the search for the lady. The young man
persistently denied all knowledge of the lady
until Friday afternoon, when Mr.. Mitchell
called ON HIM. No doubt the meeting was
very solemn and affecting one; at least, it is
said that the gay LothaIio promised to lead the
wronged husband TO his wife, which was &C
cordingly done. Confession and sorrow were
on one side and forgiveness and restoration on
the other; and the wife is to return, if she has
not already, to the home of her husband in
Detroit. 1t is evident that this dereliction
was upon no sudden impulse. 1t is pretty
well known that the family of the young man
(who is unmarried) and that of their pastor
were very intimate in Detroit; indeed, it is
said, that the brother of the young man once
offered himself to the young lady in marriage
and was refused-and the wife often rode and
walked with the person who is charged with
leading her away; and she gave music lessons
in the family; consequently the two young
people were thrown together very much. Dur
ing the summer the family came East and Mrs.
Mitchell accompanied them as far as Montreal
From thence she came to Der home in Port
land accompanied by the young gentleman
He made his home at the Ottawa House,
Cushing's Island, but came daily to the city to
visit her, and finally accepted an invitation to
become a guest in the family. The intimacy
of the two was SO marked as to cause some
comment, but the character of the lady and
the social relations which surrounded her, for
babe any idea of actual improperly. The day
after she left Portland for her return home he
called on her as usual and manifested some
surprise to hear that she had gone. Il is sus-
pected now that they had come to an under.
standing and the last visit was ruse on his
part to screen himself, at least for while,
from observation.

A WOMAN,S TRICK.


The author of 1.-The Siege of Metz"
volume just published in London tell:
this story:
They tell a strange tale here, and one
which l could never unfold plainly
For many days past buxom young
damsel came in and out of the lines a,
this point laden each morning with full
bas ket of vegetables, and returning each
night with her basket empty, but appa-
rently heavy. Her passport was duly
signed, SO there was no attempt made 20
stop her Last night her basket was so
heavy she could hardly carry it, and her
back assumed rather more than grace
full Grecian bend under its weight. The
courteous soldiers insisted on relieving
her of her burden. 1t was heavy in
deed. 1t was filled with those new chas-
sepot cartridges we had been SO industri-
ously making at Metz. Often have we
found of late that the enemy's outposts
had fred at longer ranges than usual,
often have we found chas.epot bullet
at our feet or in our wounds. Arms we
knew they had captured in great quanti-
ties here on this very spot, and at Sedan,
but we often wondered where they fonud
the ammunition. Little till then did we
think that we had been making it for
them, but they utilized onr Industry most
pleasantly. As for the young woman,
she was equal to the occasion. While
the astouished sentries were unpacking
her basket, she turnbled them and it over
and sped away down the Hill to Ian
vailliere, and before they could recover
themselves or their arms she was some
distance ahead dodging behind the long
rows of poplars which as usual yet line
the roads outside the lines. An attempt
at pursuit was prevented by the fire of
the Prussian sentries, who, unlike our
own, seem always to be wide awake at
their outposts. and between anger and
mirth we walked back to Meiz again.

MATTER IN THE AIR.

At the Royal Irish Academy. Dublin,
DR.. Sigerson has given an able and inter
esting lecture on Microscopic APpear-
aMces obtained .t'rom Special Atmos-
pheres. in which, as was to be expected
be explained that in examining the air
of factories and work shops, he found
the atmosphere of each charged with
particles according to the trade carried on.
In an iron factory he found carbon, ash,
and iron, the iron being in the form of
translucid hollow balls one-two-thou-
sandth part of an inch in diameter. In the
air of shirt factory, flaments of linen and
Gotten and minute eggs Were floating
aud in places where grain is theashed
and converted, the floating dust is IL
brous and s,archy mingled with vegeta-
bic spores; but according to DR.. Siger-
son. the dust of a scuichiny- mill is more
hurtful than any. and as much pains
should be taken to get rid of it as that
of the grinding mills of Settled. In the
air of type foundries and printing offices
antimony exists; stables, show hair and
other animal matter; and the air of dis
secting rooms is described as particularly
horrible. Al this is very disagreeable
to tt ink of; but while it manifests that
we should be careful to. purify the air we
breath, it teaches also that nature has
given us respiratory apparatus endowed
with large amount of self-protecting
function. Health and Home.

How to act in ease Of Poisoning.

The Journal ef II alM says "What
ever is done must be done quickly. The
instant person is known to have swal-
lowed posion by design or accident give
water to drink, cold or warm as fast as
possible, a gallon or more at a time, and
as fast as vomited drink more tepid wa
ter is best, as it opens the pores Of the
skin and promotes vomiting, and TINS
gives the speedist cure to the poisonous
article. If pains begin to be felt in the
bowels, it shows that part at least of the
poison has passed downwards; the large
and repeated injections of tepid water
should be given, the object in both cases
being to dilute the poison as quickly and
as largely as possible. Do not wait for
warm water-take that which is nearest
at hand, cold or warm, for every second
of time saved is of immense Importance +;
at the same time send instantly for a
physician, and as soon as he comes turn
the case into his hands, telling him what
you have done. This simple fact cannot
be to widely published /; it is not meant
to say that drinking gallon or two of
simple water will cure every case of pol
soning; but it will cure many, and bene-
fits all BY its rapidly diluting quality
