Domestic Happiness.

The grrat end of prudence is to
give cheefulness to those. hours
which splendor cannot gild, and ac-
clamation cannot exhilcrate. Those
soft intervals of unbendy amuse-
inent, in which a man shrinks to his
naturai dimensions and throws aside
the ornaments and disguises which
he feels in privacy to be useless in
cumbrances, and to lose all effect
when they become familiar. To be
happy at home, is the ultimate re-
suit of all ambition, the end TO which
every enterprise and labor tends,
and of which every desire prompts
the execution. 1t is, indeed, at
home every man must be known by
those who would have a just esti-
mate of his virtue or felicity; for
smiles and embroidery are alike oc-
casionaf, and the mind is often
dressed for show in painted honor
and fictitious henev0ience.

National Education.

Senator Morrill's bill to further aid
rational colleges, to which we alluded
last week, provides for an additional land
grant to Agricultural Col eyes in the
vario usStates and Territories. Under
his bill the additional land grant
proposed does not interfere with the
homestead act, and cannot be pur-
chased in large masses by spectators,
but the lands are to be held in custody
by the United States until actually
sold to the extent of half a million
acres, for national college in each
State and Territory; and when sold the
amount, deducting expenses, is to be in
vested in q. S. FIVE per cent. bonds, to
be held by the Treasurer of the United
States for The benefit of each of the col
leges, and the interest paid thereon semi
annually. This will not be announcement
to the Government, and will at the same
time give the highest security to the col
leges. Beyond this the United States
will obtain and retain lien upon the
funds practically enforceable to compel
a compliance with the conditions of the
original land grant as we'll as those of
the present amendment. The funds can
never be squandered nor misapplied. 1t
may be some years before the full
amount of this grant will be realized,
but in the end it will give an annual in
come to each institution of not less than
$4,000, which will be enough to place
them on a solid foundation of assured
success.

The MAUDE MERRILL MURDER.-A
very remarkable murder was that COM
mitted last week in house of ill-fame
on Mercer street, New York. The vic
tim was Miss Smith, alias Maude Mer-
rill, young courtesan, and the assassin
man named Smith who passed as her
uncle. He called to see Mau8e, and be-
ing known to the housekeeper, Mrs. AL
lison, as uncle of the girl, was told
to 60 up to her room. He remained in
the room about half an hour, when Mrs.
Allison heard strange sounds, as though
some person was striking or kicking
against the wall of the house. She start
g to 60 up stairs to ascertain whence
the noise proceeded, and was met by
Smith coming down stairs with both
hands in his pockets. He appeared cool
and unconcerned, and when Mrs. Allison
asked him what was the matter, he re-
piled, " | have just killed my niece, and
| am going to give myself up This re-
ply so Mortified Mrs. Allison that she
allowed him to walk leisurely down the
stairs and out of the house without at
tempting TO detain him. After she re-
gained her self possession she rushed up
to the girls room, where she found
Maude lying upon her face, her head
against the door, dead. She had been
shot through the heart and body with
three pistol balls. The uncle afterwards
delivered himself up to the police force
and made a confession of his crime. So.
licitous, he says. to redeem her from the
evil ways into which she had fallen, he
first tried persuasion and then resorted
to measures so extremely forcible that
the wretched creature died. The cool
ness with which the story of this "tak-
ing off is told by the man who shot the
woman suggests to the reporters of the
daily newspapers the idea of insanity.
1t could not be otherwise. Nowadays,
every murderer with any money, is in
sane or tipsy.

Another Shocking Murder in New
York.

AT o'clock on Monday evening, two
men, named John Simmons and Nicho-
las III. Duryea, both we'll known as lot
terry dealers, engaged in desperate
struggle in front of a restaurant in Lib
erty street. Simmons succeeded in throw
ing his antagonist and then drawing a
dirk knife stabbed the PROSTATE man re-
peatedly. The principal wound inflicted,
which almost instantly proved fatal, was
on the left side of The neck. commencing
at the base of the ear, penetrating about
four inches and severing the juglar vein
and several main arteries. The assassin
also stabbed his victim in the groin, in
flicting wound which the doctors say
was alone sufficient to cause death. The
witnesses of the affray called out murder
and police, when Simmons fed and took
refuge in a neighboring saloon, where
an officer subsequently arrested him. In
getting away the murderer fell and frac-
tured one of the small bones of the an
kle. Simmons and the body of his vic
tim were afterward brought to the near
est police station, where Simmons refus-
ed to make any statement. Subsequent
Iy his wounds were dressed and he was
taken to the Park hospital. Duryea
was about thirty years of age, of genteel
appearance, and lived at Richmond,
where he leaves wife and two children.
Simmons and Duyea are both supposed
to be wealthy. The cause of the fatal
quarrel has not transpired, but it is sup
posed it was connected with business. =
Simmons declined to make any state
ment whatever to the reporters who call
ed upon him at the hospital.

All persons who aspire to beauty or

that natural accessory, the hair. BY
many 1t has been neglected until the hair
has become thin, gray, or entirely fallen

have produced an etiectual remedy, call
ed Siclian Hair Remover, which cures
all diseases of the scalp. This wonder
ful preparation acts upon the glands,
which support and nourish the hair, re-
stores gray hair TO its original color
makes the scalp white and clean, re-
moves and prevents the formation of
dandruh and all cutaueous eruptions
and, by its tonic and nutrive properties,
restores the scalp to healthy state, and
creates new growth. As dressing, it
is unsurpassed, giving the hair that brill
fancy so much admired by all

Temperance Dramas of the Week.

Temperance Dramas of the Week.
DR. Henry Greene, a physician Of
Grand Rapids, Mich, arrived at New
York few days since, on his way to
Armenia, that State, to be married, but
on Saturday after drinking to excess he
was attacked with delirium tremens, and
at last accounts was sinking rapidly and
his parents and expectant bride had
been sent for.
At Columbiana, Ohio. on Thursday Of
last week, Erben G. Porter, in fit OF
rum madness, deliberately killed his
two little children with Ratchet. Mrs.
Porter was absent in another room for a
moment. Porter quietly arose and
walked into an adjoining room, where
his oldest child was alone; after closing
the door he struck the child three blows
with the edge of the sharp Ratchet, cut
ting terrible cash at each stroke on
the top of the head, either of which
would have produced almost instant
death. He then opened the door lead
ing into the room in which the other
members of the family were seated, and
seized his youngest child, dragged it in
to the room, and struck it two blows on
the top of the head, burying the hatch
ct deep into the brain at each stroke.
He then walked into an adjoining room
and threw the Ratchet, all covered with
blood and brains into wood-box, pat
on his hat, and started out of the house,
passing, as he did so, his wife, who, on
hearing the first child utter pitiful cry
as he struck it the first blow, had come
down stairs to see what was wrong.
On seeing her husband throw down
the Ratchet, she asked him what he had
done. His answer was that he had done
what he ought to have done before, and
he could not help it. She hurried to the
room where the deed had been commit
ted, and seeing her children lying in
their own blood, ran out to the road
and gave the alarm to the neighbors,
several of whom lived near, and were
on hand in few minutes.
The murdered children we're two love-
ly little girls aged one and two years.
Their father had been a terror to the
family and the neighborhood for some
time, had threatened to kill Mrs. Porter,
had often turned his family out of doors
in the dead of night in severe weather,
and it is wonder he did not murder his
wife on this terrible occasion.
