Hints for the Housewife.

English Hy-The use of English ivies
for the purpose of decorating living
rooms is more extensive every year, and
cannot be too highly commended.
Being very strong, they will live through
almost any treatment but study their
peculiarities, and manifest willingness
to CRAFTY them, and they will grow
without stint. Most houses are too hot
for them, as, indeed, they are for their
owners. Neither plants nor people
should have the temperature over sixty
five degrees Fahrenheit. Take care and
not enfeeble your ivies by excessive wa

A Wyoming Complication.

Justice in Wyoming has been inter.
rupted in manner hitherto unknown
in the annals Of courts. A female JUS
tice OF the peace was recently compelled
to retire few weeks from the bench
for reasons not wholly enconnected
with the census of the Territory-in
short, on account of twins. Resuming
her seat in due course of time she was
again compelled to adjourn her court
in consequence of the unwillingness,
not to say the inability, of her husband
to minister to all the wants of the
newly arrived strangers. The husband
still maintains this position, and the
justice hourly adjourns the cases on
trial before her in order to attend to
her maternal duties. Wherefore the
clamorous sutton whose case is thus
daily postponed is fercely indignant,
and claims that the statute does not
authorize any court to place twins upon
its calender in preference to other
cases of undoubted priority. This is a
new complication Of the woman ques-
ton; and the priority of twins over all
cases on the calendar of court pre-
sided over by a female judge will proba-
bly, have to be affirmed by legislative
enactment whenever female suffrage is

A Sharp Bank Swindle.
From the Kansas City (Mo.) News.

A well-dressed gentleman. who for
identification we will call Smith, entered
the bank, and in a aightforword, bust
ness like manner, desired the bank to
advance him $500 on draft drawn
by banking firm in a neighboring
State. The parties being strangers, the
bank informed him that they could not
advance the money. Well" said
Smith, "it will make no difference.
You can take the draft and send it for
ward for collection, and | will wait until
you get returns" This was agreed TO
by the bank, and then the draft was
sent forward for collection. In due
time the bank received a handsomely
gotten up Graft on b hiking house in
New York, with the government stamp
printed in, for the sum of $500, which
account was duly paid over to Smith,
who departed.
The draft was sent off to New York,
and in a lew days the bank received the
consoling information that the whole
transaction was a complete and success
full fraud and swindle.

How the Piutes Live.
rom the Virginia City Enterprise


One would naturally suppose the
situation at present with the Piutes
encamped on the hills surrounding the
city TO be rather rough, yet we hear Of
no sickness of any kind among them,
nor any complaint about anything.
They come into town-men and women,
great and small-as regularly as usual I;
look as sleek as ever, and are Just as
Jolly as in midsummer. AS there is not
a stick OF wood of any kind on the
hills where they are camped, or not
even sagebrush as large as a mans
finger, it Is wonderful how they manage
to keep from freezing TO death during
the heavy, driving snow storms. The
bits of board and small sticks which
the squaws are able to find about town
scarce suffice to cook their meat, and is
so scanty and precious that they dare
not venture upon the extravaganza Of
burning it for the purpose of keeping
themselves warm. In order to keep
warm they must huddle in heaps in
their brush huts-old and young, great
and small, piling up together irrespec-
tive OF condition. By going to the dis
lance of 20 or 30 miles from the city,
they might find camping places where
the could obtain an abundance of wood,
but they would find their means of sub
sistence most precarious; in fact, did
they depend entirely on game, all would
starve to death. Here they are able to
find plenty of good, strong food, and
having that, they appear to defy the
inclemency of the season. One stormy
night passed in even the best of their
sage-brush huts-a structure resembling
muskrat house-would probably be
the death of any white family that
might risk the trial; yet the Piutes
laugh at the storm, and in the midst of
the whirling cloud of snow, cry "Ha

Murder and Suicide.

A Norwich, Conn.,, dispatch of the
9Th inst. says: VIM. Erving, an en-
ploye Of DR.. Johnson, of Bozrah, to-day
shot and fatally wounded the doctors
daughter because she would not marry
him. He shot the young lady in the
presence of her mother, whom he also
attempted to murder by beating her
over the head with gun. Erving then
locked himself in a room and cut his
throat from ear to ear. When surgeon
arrived from this city, he found that the
shot had only inflicted a slight wound
on the side Of Mrs. Johnsons face, but
there was q terrible fracture on the side
and top of the skull. 1t is supposed
that Erving, after stunning Mrs. John
son, beat the young lady's skull with
the barrel of his gun. One of the bar
rels was not discharged. Erving then
attacked the servant girl, who entered
the room, but she fed and gave the
alarm. Mrs. johnson died at o'clock
this evening.

Terrible GunpOwder ExplosiOn-Fivo
Men Blown to Pieces.

The powder-houses belonging to the
Miami Powder Company, located be-
tween Xenia and Yellow Springs, Ohio,
on the Little Miami railroad, exploded
about 10 o'clock on Monday morning.
Five men were kilied-Mero, Ballard
and Robinson (white) and Conley and
Duncan (colored). The bodies were
shockingly mutilated and burned.
Conley was blown into fragments, and
nothing could be found of him but q
portion of his head. Samuel Miner was
blown across the mill-race, and his hear
ing partially destroyed. Others were
badly stunned, barely escaping with
their lives. All the manned were men
of families.
The shock was SO great that in ad-
jacent towns and cities much consterna-
ton ensued. In Dayton the children
rushed from the school-buildings, the
fire bells rang, and it was the general
apprehension that some great calamity
had occurred within the city limits.
In Troy and Tippecanoe the houses were
shaken as by an earthquake, and the
shock was distinctly felt at Urbana and
Xenia. A brick house. standing more

completely blown out, and was other
wise damaged. Hundreds of windows
were broken at Yellow Springs.
The first explosion occurred in the
wheel-mill. This communicated with
the press-mill, where the powder in
process of manufacture is contained in
canvas bags. The double dry-house,
fifty feet square, containing vast
quantity of dry powder, came in next
for destruction. Then followed the
glaze EMIL, the canning-mill and packing
house. The mills were situated some
distance apart, but the conclusion was
SO great as to produce an explosion in
all. From twenty to thirty tons of
powder were in the destroyed buildings.
The company estimate their loss at
$4,000.

A Great Western Waif.
From the London (Canada) Advertiser


The monotony of the trip OF the

rather strange incident. Shortly after

able noise, like the whimpering and
shutting of a puppy, which appeared TO
come from seat close by. The con-
ductor looked beneath the seat, but
could find nothing of the kind. Still
he could hear the smothered sounds
and searching farther discovered a
small bundle on seat, covered over
with an old newspaper. Uncovering 1t
he was astonished 10 find conta ned a
bouncing boy baby, apparently less than
a week old, struggling hard to release
itself from the wraps that surrounded
it. The ladies took charge of the little
stranger until the train reached the
city, Wien it was handed over to the
Station Master. The company, we UNI
derstand, have for the present taken
charge of the infant and given it out to

Mustard Dealers Stirred Up.

American dealers in mustard are much
stirred by the action Of London firm.
This firm claims bulls head" as it's
trademark and has brought suits against
all merchants and manufacturers who
have made or sold articles bearing the
same device. The label is very COM
mon one on this side of the Atlantic,
and the number of houses that are in
volved is quite large. The aggregate of
the damages claimed in the suits already
commenced is over 81 100000, and it is
estimated that if the prosecutions are
extended as far as they can be, this sum
will swell to $50, 100000. A meeting of
defendants, present and prospective, In
these suits, was held ut New York, q few
days ago, and steps were taken to unite
in conducting the defense. A state
nent that was laid before this gathering
claims that the device was used in this
country seventeen years before the Lon
don firm first claimed it as trademark
and that one of the earliest manufac-
turers who used it had copied it from
photograph of a pet calf. 1t was also
claimed that the London firm had pro-
cured their evidence against the de-
PENDANTS by sending agents through this
country to purchase cans OF mustard
bearing "bulls head" label, and that
in one case, where the dealer had no
mustard with this label, he was request
ed by the spy to send out and purchase
some for him, which he did, and was
then sued for it. Such contemplate
tricks certainly give the action of the
London house the appearance OF being
an extensive matchmaking operation.

Chrome Cast Steel.

The report of Colonel Eads, the En-
gineer OF the great st. Louis and Hi
nois Bridge, has brought into promi
nent notice an article of American
Manufacture known as Chrome Cast
Steel.
This steel is an amalgam Of Chromi.
UNI and Wrought Iron, and is produced
by melting the two together in the
steel.
Chrome Cast Steel has properties and
advantages entirely its own, and is es-
pecially adapted for tools of all kinds.
1t can be worked at a white heat-muSt
be hardened III gerry low heat, and can
not be injured by over-heating.' 1t can
be welded to iron or to itself; leaving
no trace of the weld it can be worked
and re-worked without injury and,
when made into tool, will do at least
SO per cent more work than any other
steel, not excepting the highest priced
and choicest brands of foreign make.
These points alone must recommend it
to all mechanics.
BY varying the proportion of Chromi-
UNI any required grade OF steel can be
produced, and when the proper formula
is once ascertained for any given pur.
pose, the same grade can be reproduced,
ad irtfnitun,, with the utmost certainty
thus making it perfectly uniform in each
grade, claim no manufacturer (even
the best English Of carbon steel can
truthfully make.
1t is said that near a quarter of q
million OF dollars had been expended
and lost IN the effort to produce certain
bolts and slaves required in the bridge
above referred to, but not until the in
ventor of Chrome Cast Steel was called
into the arena was the work success
fully done, when, as appears from MIR.
Ead's report, every bolt and stave pro-
duced from Chrome Steel was success
full.
Chrome Cast Steel has a tensile
strength far exceeding that of any other.
In series of experiments, the highest
tensile strain obtained was l9S,070
pounds to the square inch the average
result of twelve specimens was 1880
pounds, whilst the highest strength OF
steel given in Pery's Metallurgy,
page so, is $4,000 pounds per square
inch.
In its lower grades, therefore, this new
steel presents material for bridge
building excelling, in tensile strength,
any metal hitherto known.
In the higher grades of tool steel it
is equally excellent, the. ease with
which it is worked Cat much higher
heat than carbon steel will bear) rem
ders it very profitable to the manufac.
turer Of tools.
Chrome Tool Steel was introduced
into the Chicago market in February,
1871, by Messrs. Hall, Kimbark d Co.,
and at the date OF the great fire their
sales of this brand exceeded those of
all other brands held by them in stock,
and they have wisely determined here
after to keep no other brand of Ameri-
can Tool Steel.
We see no reason why this new metal
should not speedily supersede the use
