A DeyiIish Plot Frustrated.

1t is difficult to conceive of a more
purely wanton and devilish piece of
villainy than IVES lately attempted in an
English theatre. During the represen-
tation of pantomime, nearly twenty of
the performers, young women and chill
dren, had to be hoisted to considerable
height above the stage. They were dis
tributed into five groups, and as one
of these was being raised, the rope used
for the purpose broke. 1t was then dis
covered that four out of the five strands
in it had been cut, and upon examina-
ton at the close of the scene, the other
four ropes were found to have been
similarly treated. Fortunately, they
been cut too little, as the first too much,
and by the merest chance this heartless
piece of wickedness was frustrated.
Had it succeeded, hardly any of its in.
tended victims could have escaped
either instant death or very painful
injury, since the fall was forty feet.

Wholesale Massacre of Jews in Rou-
mania.

Late advices state that the Jewish
persecution in Roumania is increasing.
Numbers daily fall victims to the hatred
of the natives, over whose actions the
authorities exercise no control. Muir
der in public is frequent and un-
punished. The unfortunate Israelites
are subjected to every species of in
dignity and persecution which their
enemies can devise. Their dwellings
are fred by riotous mobs, and numbers
of lives are not unfrequently sacrificed
to complete the holocaust. The relent-
less persecution of these people has
compelled many to leave the territory.
Numbers of the refugees are placing
themselves under Turkish protection.
In the city of Kagul the persecution
has probably been developed in its
bloodiest aspect. Over seventy Israel
ties, including defenseless women and
children. have fallen victims to their
oppressors, while thirty-fve have been
wounded, many fatally. The receipt of
the above information has aroused the
warmest sympathy in London for the
unfortunate Jews.

A Tennessee Tragedy.
From the Sparta (Tenn.) Tribune. Feb. "A.

From the Sparta (Tenn.) Tribune, Feb. IA.
little before daybreak yesterday a
man named Keefe, who had been in the
employ of Mr.. John Crowder, of this
county, for several months, reached the
ferry at Sligo, DeKalb county, and de-
manded to be put across, together with
three horses in his possession. Douglas
Davis, owner of the ferry, suspecting
that all was not right, arrested the man
and searched him, taking from his per
son large navy revolver. While in
custody the horse thief drew another,
which he had secreted upon his person
and shot Mr.. Davis, the ball entering
the abdomen and coming out of the
back, killing him almost instantly.
Keefe then ran, going in the direction
of Falling Water. He was pursued by
a party of neighbors, and on being over
taken was riddled with buckshot and
killed almost instantly. Upon inquiry
it was ascertained that the horses had
been stolen. The thief and murderer
who thus met the just retribution of
an avenging community, hailed from
Illinois.

PhYSic by the Year.

1t is said to be the Chinese custom to
pay physicians a certain sum from
which a deduction is made for every
day that the person is sick. This pro
ceeds on the very sensible theory that
ones doctor should be paid for health
and not for sickness. IL is also well
calculated to defeat the jniquities of the
Lampedos in the profession, who regard
the patient as a luxury the enjoyment
of which should be protected as much
as possible. A young physician at st.
GATHERINGS, in Canada, has proposed
not dissimilar system for that vicinity.
He will undertake to visit every family
as often as required for an annual fee
of five dollars. Of course working on
these terms, the young doctor would
have every inducement to promote the
hygienic welfare of his patients with all
possible skill and diligence. But it is
to be feared that he has fixed his an
nual compensation at too low figure.
Any family with ordinary luck ought to
be able to get sick more than five dol
lars worth in the course of year. On
the other hand, there Is another objec.
ton which might be interposed. When
an old gambler was approached by a life
insurance agent, he protested that he
" wasn't going to bet against any game
that he had to die to beat" A parity
of reasoning might prevent many from
accepting the proposition of the st.
GATHERINGS physician.

Hints for the Housewife.

To Clean Kid GGoves.-Have ready a
little new milk in one saucer, a piece of
white soap in another, and a clean cloth
folded two or three times. On the cloth
spread out the glove smooth and neat.
Take a piece of flannel, dip it in the
milk, then rub off good quantity of
soap on the wetted flannel, and com
mence to rub the glove toward the
fingers, holding it firmly with the left
hand. Continue this process until the
glove, if white, looks of a dingy yellow,
though clean if colored, till it looks
dry and spoiled. Lay it to dry, and the
ops rator will soon be grati6ed to see
that the old glove looks nearly new.
1t will be soft, glossy, smooth and
elastic.
To Cook Potatoes.-Select such as are
of uniform size; wash them, but do not
disturb the skin in any way; cover with
cold or lukewarm water, an inch above

AM Expensiye Railway,

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad ex-
poets to open in June direct line from
Washington to Point of Rocks, reducing
the time to Pittsburgh and Cincinnati
two or three hours, and avoiding all
changes and tr ,nsfers. This piece of
road, though only AZ miles long, was
estimated to cost $1,000 900; and one
single mile upon it, near the mouth of
the Monocacy river, has already cost
nearly 100000. The country between
Wa, hington and Harper's Ferry con-
sists of series of bold, almost noun
famous hills, which are crossed trans
versely by streams emptying into the
Potomac; and this road is to leap every
stream on high and costly bridge, and
then plunge Immediately into heavy
rock tunnel. In one place, 100000
cubic wards of rock and earth had to be
moved. Some of the cuts are so feet
deep, and many of the embankments
60 feet high. The cuts are only Is feet
vide at the bottom, and only ten men
can work in each end of the cut,-in
some cases progressing no more than 25
feet in one month.

The Eccentrieities of congressman.

A constituency which sends buffoon
to Congress-, deliberately and with
| knowledge, does a most thoughtless,
disgusting, and hurtful act. 1t was very
funny to see and hear Mullens, of Ten
nessee, get up and bawl out, "Mr.
| Speaker, L want a pint of order just
here" or to hear him speaking OF an
Arkansas member who had been killed
by the Ku-Klux, as he did speak in my
hearing about the late Mr.. Hines, in
the most sorrowful and bewailing man
ner, Mr.. Speaker, he has gone to his
last grave wrapped in the peaceful sill
loquy of his blood" 1t may be funny
for the boys in the gallery to see mem
Der put his big, dirty boots upon his desk,
slide down in his chair until he sits on a
spot between the small of his back and
bis neck, and go to sleep and snore
during the proceedings of the House,
as an Illinois member used to do in the
Forty, first Congress. Perhaps it was
amusing to the colored gallery to see a
member get to his feet by the strongest
efforts and the help of his neighbors,
so drunk that he could not stand, and
insist upon quarreling in an incoherent
manner with the Speaker until his voice
was drowned by the deafening strokes
of the mallet. This exhibition was
given about year ago by Pennsylva-
nian who is still member of the House.
Perhaps the sight of three or four MEM
bers during the session stretched out
full length upon the sofas in the space
back of the circle seats, all sound asleep,
and sweating like BULLS nose in win
ter, is an inspiring view from the re-
porters' gallery. Perhaps it looks well
to see Congressman squirting tobacco
juice in quantities ranging from tea
spoonful to a quart all over the snow
white marble of the stairway, and be-
smearing costly carpets. The things
that l have described may be funny,
amusing, and laughable to the witless
herd who go through life for 30 other
purpose than to find things to laugh at,
but such Congressmen as have alluded
to are a positive injury to any distrio t.
They have no influence here, and no
acquaintance. They come here with
the same narrow notions they had at
home, serve out their terms, draw their
pay, their mileage, stationery, and go
home in the same cramped sphere.

pected to die, and they urged that it
would be fitting to entomb two such
brave men together. We received their
strangely chivalrous proposal with
magnanimity equal to their own. With
spears and tomahawks, they excavated
grave; and wrapping the combatants
in the rich furs of the Chieftain, we
laid them down to rest side by side,-
friend and foe, alike lamented. Then
heaping a great pile of stones above
them, to battle the efforts of prowling
wolves, we fired a volley in the air, and
with aching hearts departed. And there
they slumber still. One did for his
friends, and the other for the honor of
his tribe. The wistful summer winds
sigh a sad requiem above the spot of
their long repose, the wild flowers bios

the showers of heaven impartially de-
scend upon the soft verdure that en-
shrines it.--Cham6ers' Journal.

Vermont Marble.

There are 20 marble mills in Rul,; nd
county, Vermont, in which are 200
gangs of saws, each gang having about
% saws. About so gangs, in different
mills, are at present idle from various
causes, the most apparent one being
from want of capital. Some of these
gangs are idle from want of paying mar
BILE to saw, the deposit upon which they
are located being worthless as prac-
tical enterprise. These saws in the
most approved mills will pass through a
block of marble free from flint, by
feet, at a rate of one inch and a half to
the hour, each gang saving 220 feet in
twelve hours, and the $50 gangs now in
operation saving $4,000 feet of marble
every twelve hours, making an aggre-
gate annual production of sawed mar
BILE in Rutland county of 100000 feet.
1t is estimated, by statistics and careful
observations, that of this marble there
is 81 100000 worth sold each year in the
