A HORRIBLE MURDER-A dreadful
murder was committed in the town of
HWayland, Allegan county, Michigan, on
the goth ult. A man named Joseph
Wheaton, several years ago, ON the
death of his wife, gave their only child,
q boy, a year or two old, to a neighbor,
to bring up, making the transfer in legal
form. 4of Since then he has lived with
several lewd women, and generally
borne q bad character. He has attempt
ed several times to get possession of the
child, stealing it from its legal eusto-
dian, at one time snatching it from the
arms of the man to whom it belonged,
and in the melee breaking one of its
limbs. On Monday last, Wheaton stole
the child again, and took it home. On
its crying to go back, he deliberately
whipped the poor boy to death. The
screams of the child brought six men to
the spot, but too late to rescue him from
his tormentor. On their attempting to
take him, Wheaton seized an axe, and
declared he would split down the first
man who touched him, and made his
escape. The whole community is terri
bly, excited, and has turned out en- masse
to hunt the monster down.

THE e~xtravagant tendency of the
present generation suggests to a clergy
man the inquiry whether it would not
be better to devote half of ones ener-

income, than to devote all of ones en-
orgies in struggling and waiting for a
large income? fr-f- -tg.

SURGICAL OPERATION on Al ELEPHANT.
The celebrated elephant Romeo, it
will be remembered, killed. his keeper
about two years g In order to Sc
cure him at the time it was found neces-
sary to throw him off of his feet. This
was done with great difficulty. This
fall caused a sewers bruIse ON the side of
the animal. This bruise caused the for
nation of a tumor, which increased in
size until it got as large as a mans
head, and endangered the life of Ro-
meo. DIR. Robert Jennings, V. s., was
then called in, and last week he sue
ceeded in removing the tumor. The
operation was performed at the winter
quarters of Romeo, on Ridge
above Jefferson street, and the animal
was securely fastened by fourlog chains.
The elephant is now doing well.
FRENCH PRoTEsr.-Twelve opposition
journals have protested against the de-
cree issued by the Bordeaux Govern
ment, providing for the disqualification
from the privilege of an election to the
National Assembly of members of the
families reigning over France since 1889,
of all persons who nave acted as Impe-
rial officials, candidates in past elections,
or held office as Ministers, Senators or
Councillors of State under the Empire.
and Projects who have accepted office
between the I'd of December, 1851, and
the 4th of September, 1870. A deputa-
ton from these waited upon Jules
Simon, and stated to him verbally the
grounds on which the protest is based.
Simon, in his reply; declared that the
decree issued by the Paris government
the 28th of January abolished all dis
qualifications for the National Assem-
bly,, and that he (Simon) would insist
upon the execution of the Paris decree.

VfcfOria's AilHpent.

A great deal has been said about Queen Vic
toria's lndisposition, which now assumes one
from an ordinary sore throat to insanity But
the truth is that, aside from the or
binary ills that common flesh is heir
to, and of which she has her share she is a
Spiritualist; and the eminently respectable and
thoroughly stupid English public contemplate
such belief with repugnance bordering on
dlsmay. The thing seems to those materialistic,
matter-of-fact people so utterly incredible that
the only way they can account for it is by sup
posing that her mind is labOring under hallu-
cination, If indeed, it is not permanently disor-
dered She has firm conviction that Prince
albert Is always present with her. and that she
can hold communion with him. Her private
rooms are arranged as they were when he was
alive. His chair Is placed opposite to her own in
the library, and the books which he delighted
TO read to her are arranged lovingly in order
upon the table. In some OF her moods she will
converse with him for an hour together, con-
Quoting her own share of the conversation aloud
and with the vigor and interest of old times
lie had taught her by his example, the success
OF his business enthusiastically by his
management of the Duchy of Cornwall-to sup
erlntend as much as possible all her private at
fairs herself; to reduce all unnecessary expen-
ditures, and to forbid extravaganza. Hence the
greatest simplicity is observed at the Queens
table, and she imagines that her husband looks
on, well pleased. At times, when she is more
than ordinarily impressed with a sense of his
presence, II Is said she will order knife and
1Ork to be placed on the dinner-table for him.
and cause the attendants to place every course
before the empty chair as if the master still oc-
cupied it. Every mol lining pair of boots are
cleaned and set down against the door of the
chamber which he once occupied; and at break
fast, when in Scotland, she will often sit long
time in silence, waiting for the Prince. What
ever may be thought of the spiritualistic theory
OF the presence of the departed and their con-
tlnued communication with the living, il Is nm
questionably true that Queen Victoria derives a
great deal of consolation from the belief and
would sooner abdicate her throne than lose her
sense OF the nearness and interest of her de-
parted husband.-Golden Age.

NIGHT VIEW OF THE CHICAGO RUINS
When night comes, a strange and beautiful
transformation Is wrought in the scene. Every
evening since have been here have watched
with increasing interest this marvellous ami fas-
clnatng change. As the sun goes down in the
prairie, and the night wind comes in from the
lake, this sleeping fire rouses and stirs in its
slumber like woman who shakes Off the DAVIS
decorum, and flashes at the coming of her lover
The vast ignited cOal-beds on the shore of the
river throw red greetings to each other through
the gathering shadows. The darkness slowly
walls the lines of shattered walls, and one by one
through the gloom twinkle out the delicate blue
flames that spring from the anthracite coal boxes
OF the burned mansions. They are so blue and
fine, and fragile, that they seem like forget-me-
nots gemming the dusky field. They are very
persistent, though. They have been pouring tuns
OF water through the sidewalk upon one small
deposit in front of Gov. Bross's residence, and
yet at night it blooms bluely and vigorously
as II it were refreshed by the watering. As the
darkness deepens, the show increases i'm bril-
liancy, UNTIL by most lovely effect of reflection
the blaze from the unquenched fire strikes the
clouds OF smoke that hang over the city, and
turns them brilliant rose. The pillar of cloud
becomes pillar of fire, and all at once the dead
lnster Of this reflected light falls back upon the
ruins and brings them out into pale and singular
distinctness. II is not possible to imagine any-
thing more terribly beautiful than this wild COM
merce OF the fire and the darkness.-John Hay,

AMOUNT OF SLKEP.-Those who think most
require the most sleep. "The time "saved"
from necessary sleep is infallibly destructive to
mind, body, and estate. Give yourself, your
children, your servants-give all that are under
you, the fullest amount Of sleep they will take,
by compelling them to 60 to bed at some regu-
moment they wake; and within q fortnight,
Nature with almost the regularity of the rising
sun, Will loose the bonds OF sleep the moment
enough repose has been secured for the wants
Of the system. This the only safe and efficient

one requires, each must be q rule for himself
