A shocIsIng Love Tragedy.

Last Thursday morning. farm laborer named
Patrick. Tracey, met Amos Mckinley aged II,
in the vicinity of Franklin, Pa, choked him un-
til he became insensible, and then mutilated
him with knife in such manner that his re-
covery is doubtful. 1t appears that Tracey
had been discarded by young lady to whom he
was engaged, and that she had accompanied Nc
Kinley to a singing school, hence Traoeys re-
venge. Tracey is at large, but the people are
in pursuit of him, and threaten to lynch him if

HOW WE HEAR AND SEE.

HeImholtz, the best living authority on
the subject of sound, saws that
connected with the end of the
acoustic nerve are 5000 strained micro
scopic flores, allied "Corte's organ" and
that it is probable that every sound that
reaches the ear sets those chords in vibra
ton that are pathetically tuned to it,
just as voice will set in vibration those
strings of a piano that are stretched to
produce the same tone. These different
v vibrations are recognized by the mind by
its connection with the nerve and brain.
A similar mechanism probably exists
in the eye. The retina Of the eye. which
: tie extremity OF the optic nerve Il
covered with exceedingly minute bodies
called "rods and cones" These, it is
very probable, have the faculty eff vIbra
ing under different influences. The red
light is produced by vibrations of about
430 quadrilllons of waves per second. 1t
may set in vibration any rods and
cones" that are tuned to such vibration
while those that are sympathetic to the
100 quadrillion of waves Of violet light
will be set in motion thereby.
This suggests That, just asIears differ in
their sensltlveness, some hearing a shrill
sound that is utterly inaudible to Others
whose nerve-cords are not attuned to
them, so it may be in light. The ar
rangement of the "rod and cones may
Il tier IN different persons And so it is
l. Is a familiar fact that some persons arr
"color blind" They cannot distinguish
ed That IS, their ''rods and cones
nave not the right length or elasticit,

the spectrum. And it is fact that SOM
others Can see color In the ultra. violet
end OF hespectrum to some distance be.
yond what is visible to most.
Now, II We were to extend this varla
tlon little, We may suppose that some
animals may be able 10 d,stins uish as
light by their differently constructed eye
vibration that is quite insensible to our
eyes Ii would require as slight ii
change IN the eye to make the dark heal
rays visible as is the difference between
the eyes OF man who can see only from
che violet Of the spectrum to the orange,
and the eyes of him who can see also the
red. In fact, the prominent eyes of the
mollusks, at the utterly dark depths OF
mid ocean, may be useful, Tor ought we
know, IN seeing by means of rays Of hea
OF low temperature. Even the modit
ed heat of the currents of 80 deg. F. ma y
give these animals abundant use for thelI

INSANITY RELIEVED. "A Phila-
delphian named William Oskin was
insane some time since. The insan-
lty was not hereditary, but was occa-
stoned by strong drink. He had an
exceedingly bad attack Of it one day.
and the result of it was the death of
his wife. He was arrested on the
charge Of murder, tried, and acquit-
ted on the ground of insanity. Be-
ing insane, and therefore dangerous,
he was kept under lock and key,
however, as he should have been.
But remarkable cure has been ef-
fected. His counsel now come in
to court" says the Philadelphia
Record Of the 10th instant, s'with
an application for writ of habeas
corpus, on the ground that the pc
titioner was arrested for the murder
Of his wife; that he was tried and
acquitted on the ground of insanity
that since said acquittal he has re
covered his reason, and is now Of
sound mind, and is detained in GUS
tody withoutjust cause" Of course
he will be given his liberty and
with the precedent established he
may murder dozen other women
before he dies, taking care to be in
toxicated, or rather, insane, when
ever he accomplishes such a misfor-
tune.

AMENDMENT TO THE TEMPERANCE
LAw.-It is proposed now TO so
amend the existing laws relative to
drunkenness, that whenever a per-
son is convicted of being drunk he
shall be imprisoned as punishment
therefor, and not be fined. That
the punishment by Imprisonment
shall be imperative. No fine, un-
der any circumstances, shall be al
lowed to be taken. This, it is
claimed, will make the matter equal
all around, and will have more eff
feet in stopping drunkenness and
promoting temperance than any 9th
or course that could be pursued. 1t
is said that several of the opponents
Of the temperance bill advocate the
passage of a law making imprison-
ment the only, and imperative pun
ishment for drunkenness. @
There was some talk of getting
up a petition in this city to ask the
passage Of such a law this winter.

A REMEDY FOR THE HEADACHE.
DIR. Warburton Begble (Edin-
burgh Medical Journal advocates
the use of turpentine in the severe
headache to which nervous and hys-
terical women are subject. "There
is moreover he says, 'sanother class
OF sufferers from headache, and this
is composed of both sexes, who may
be relieved by turpentine. I refer
to the frontal headache, which is
most apt to occur after prolonged
mental effort, but may likewise be
induced by unduly sustained phys
ical exertion-what may be styled
the headache Of fatigued brain. A
cup of very strong tea often relieves
this form of headache, but this reme-
dy with not a few is periIous, for
bringing relief from pain, it may
produce general restlessness, and
worst of all-banish sleep. Tur-
pentine in doses of twenty or thirty
minims, given at intervals of an
hour or two, will not only remove
the headache, but produce in Won
derful manner that soothing influence
to which reference has already been
made"
