Shot bead in his Bed,

A man named Harry Smith, a deprav-
ed fellow who formerly kept saloon
in Chicago, was shot dead in his bed
by his wife, Mollie Smith, at Clinton,
Mo-, few nights ago. It seems that
Smith, while residing in Chicago, Sc
duced and finally was forced to marry
respectable young girl Is years of
age, and forced her to life of prosti-
tuition for the sake of money Some
time ago they moved to Kansas City,
where they kept low house of prosti.
tuition, but were forced to leave. They
then went to Clinton, where they en-
gagged in the same depraYed practices.
The testimony at the coroner's inquest
showed that Smith had for years forced
her to low life, which was repulsive
to her, and had abused her IN a most
heartless manner, ever since he mar
riei. her. The verdict was iustifable
homicide, and Mrs. Smith was accord
ingly discharged from arrest Smith
was an 1rishman, and was sailor on
the western lakes before he settled in
Chicago.

writes the London correspondent OF

few weeks, become most Objectionable
places of residence to ladies and chill
dren, and even to nervous men, in con-
sequence of certain freaks of set of
rutfians, who call themselves gentle
men. These lads, wrapped in large
cloaks, wander about the highways aud
byWays, sometimes singly, sometimes
II couples, but always having accom-
phees near. On the approach ofladies
they suddenly fling open the cloak and
reveal their breast, wholly covered with
blazing phosphorus. The shock to
any one would be great, but to women
and children it is overpowering, and in
consequence the towards who assail
them have hitherto always been able to
make off before assistance can be pro-
cured. l am told that children are
now lying dangerously i'll In more than
one house at Beckenham from frights
given them by this new class of ghosts
The gentlemen of the neighborhood

Pussy'S Dream.

A correspondent of Land and Water
tells the following about cat: She
was very still, and appeared to be fast
asleep, when suddenly she sprang into
the middle of the room, where she
fixed her feet on limited spot on the
floor, to which her nose was applied,
and closely grasping something she
held in her claws. This continued for
a short time, when the nose was gently
raised, and the visible attention was
directed to the feet, which still contin-
ued their grasp; but after time one
of them was gradually removed and
then the other, at which puss appeared
greatly at loss to imagine whittier
the imaginary object could have gone,
so as to escape her grasp. She looked
IN various objections along the floor
with foolish face of confusion; and
then again her attention was directed
TO the spot on which the feet were first
closely pressed, as if to examine close
ly whether the presumed escape had
been by. sinking through the floor; and
when this seemed unsatisfactory, the
disappointed animal, now widely awake,
retired slowly from the spot; but she
returned more than once to re- examine
the place, as if she found it impossible
to comprehend how an object she had
SO plainly seen and grasped should
have sunk into nothing. Many min
utes elapsed before the cat appeared to
be reconciled to the conviction that
what had been dream was not In
truth q reality.

The Canned Preserve Trade in CaIifor.
MIA

The business of preserving and can
ming meats, fruits and vegetables, in
California is very profitable one, and
is extensively carried on in San Fran
cisco. The latter are so abundant and
cheap, and Chinese labor is so inexpen-
sive, that the profits are naturally large
and the outlay comparatively small.
The process OF preserving is simple
one. The cans ars made In the factor
les, passed over to the filters who, after
their work is done, give them into the
hands of the boilers. The material is
put IN raw and cooked by steam. The
sealing which is carefully done, is per-
formed by another gang, and so in these
factories each has his separate depart
ment. When the cans are taken from
the boiler they pass into another room
where the proper labels are attached.
These labels are quite artistically exc
cuted, each Indicating the species of
fruit or vegetable that the can contains.
Those intended for table use being of
better assorted description, have more
elaborate labels, and those put up for
making into pies, tarts, etc., are not SO
tastefully Ornamented The demand
for came l fruit and vegetables is very
large, and the factories have seldom
any surplus stock left on their hands.
This canning business, so extensive in
California, is an adopted one, it having
first been put in practice on the Attain
tic seaboard.

Curious Phenomenon in Morocco.

It is well known that there exist no
volcanoes on the continent OF Afrlca,
although many are found IN the ada
cent islands of Ascension, Tenerltte,
Lanzerote, etc. That fact give addl-
t1onal interest to discovery just made
of a burning cave in Morocco, not Tar
from the town of Fez. The pit IN
question is designated under the name
Of Beniguazeval. It's orifice is about
ten feet above the ground. and twelve
feet wide; the sheets of fame issue IN
termittently, but what IS remarkable,
always in horizontal direction, as II

There is no eruption of stone or lava.
but the fire is driven with such force to
the orifce that it is accompanied with
a loud Kissing noise, while the current
is sufficiently strong to blow away any
thing placed near the opening Inc
researches made to discover the origin
of the phenomenon have led to no re-
suit; but the hypothesis generally ad
mitted is that there exist beds OF coal
IN the mountain, on the side OF when
this cavern is situated, and that the
fuel having become ignited, the com,
bustion is maintained by the draugh'
of air, and will continue so long as the
flames shall fad anything to feea on

4 Magnificent Charity.

It is announced that in his will, Ed
win Forrest will leave his entire prop
erty, even his wardrobe and valuable
library, to be usel for the foundation
of a Home for Disabled Dramatic
Artists. Sixty acres of ground within
the limits Of Philadelphia have been
made over to the corporation of that
city for the purposes set forth, and in
after years those members of the -dra-
matte profession whose lives have not
been crowned;with successful gains may
enjoy the comforts of a beautiful home,
surrounded by reminders Of their art.
Mr.. Forrest said to friend less than a
month ago, that this project had been
the main object of his life for thirty
five years, and that he had made ample
provision for carrying it out. It was
his desire that the endowment should
be legally perfect; that there could be
no question before the Courts about
the title. Further, he said he wished
his hequest to be so closely understood
that no one would doubt his motive.
