A California Wonder.

The San Francisco Bulletin saws that an i'm
portant change has taken place recently in the
Geysers. Old residents say there is greater
display OF heat, steam, and Plutonic fury in
them at present than has been known since
le5y. have been there twice before, and have
never seen such general fiery activity as at
present. Whether this is the result of increased
demand for fire in the region where the anti
ICdoS OF happiness and comfort are supposed 10
reign, cannot say. A rear Geyser Is now shot
up from the Witches Cauldron to a height OF
about foTty-two feet above the surface IL
would rise much higher but that the overhang-
ing banks of decompOsed rocks against which
1t shoots mp prevent it. A portion OF this bank
Is to be removed, and as this will be a work of
some danger, owing to the steam emitted from
and terrific heat OF the black water in the caul-
drum its temperature is 292 degrees Fahren-
helt-that is, eighty dgrees above the boiling
Loint), it is proposed for a short time to turn
III cold stream which flows down the Gevser
canyon into the cauldron, with the hope that
its terrific heat may be sufficiently mitigated TO
admit of the removal OF the bank of rocks mem
toned. The large steamboat blowpipe-the
diameter OF which is about equal to that of an
ordinary flour barrel-now emits more dense
Volume OF steam than ever before; while the
devil steam whistle makes a noise equally shriU
and piercing as that which splits the ear when
close to locomotive as tile whistle is being
sounded. Warm work is, in short, going on all
through the Geyser CANYON.

Alleged Certain Cure for the Rite of n
Mad Dog.

The editor of the Kent News, published at
Chestertown, Md, in giving publicity to the
following article says: 1t may be proper to
state, for the information OF persons who are
not acquainted with Mr.. Dyre that he is highly
respectable ard intelligent farmer, residing
near Gelena, in this county:
Elecampane is plant well known to most
persons, and is TO be found i'm many of our gar
dens. Immediately after being bitten, take
one and half ounces of the root Of the plant
the green root is perhaps preferable, but the
dried will answer, and may be found in our
drug stores, and was used by me-slice or
bruise, put into pint of fresh milk boil down
to half pint, strain, and when cold drink, fast
ing for at least six hours afterwards. The next
morning fasting, repeat the dose. another dose
prepared as the last, and this will be sufficient
II is recommended that after each dose nothing
be eaten for at least six hours. 1 have a son
who was bitten by mad dog eighteen years
ago, and four other children in the neighbor-
hood were also bitten; they took the above dose,
and are alive and well at this day. And have
known number of others who were bitten that
applied the same remedy. 1t is supposed that
the root contains principle which being taken
up by the blood in its circulation, counter acts
or neutralizes the deadly effects Of the virus of
the hydrophobia. 1 feel so much confidence in
this simple remedy that am willing you should
give my name in connection with this statement.

How One Escaped the Disaster.

Inc London correspondent OF the Boston
Courier writes:
AprOpOs of the Atlantic disaster, a good story
IS told about one of your Americans, who, in
the midst of the talk at the GaIrick Club about
the vessel walked in, and was asked il he knew
anybody on board the ship: "Came very near
being on board myself,' was his quaint reply.
81 had engaged my passage, packed my trunks,
and was all ready TO sail, when a friend made
an appointment for me to see Miss Braddon.
Well, concluded that had rather take an
other ship than miss seeing that pOpularlnovel-
list, and here i am" When we had cOndoled
with him on his narrow escape, "Then," he
proceeded, al don't know that should have
been drowned, anyway; you see the folks seem
TO have been caught asleep. / never sleep SO
long as i can get anybody to sit up with me,
and had friend on board who was great on
sitting up" "And was he saved?" asked the
club chorus. "Well, l don't know vet didn't
see his name this morning, but know he was
sure to he up, and he's spry, energetic man,
and IL were in the habit of betting L should
bet that he was" Even as he spoke, the page
brought in the evening paper, and a dozen
hands reached out for it. happened to be
nearest, and read out the names of the cabin
passengers who had been saved. When came
TO the last name of all, my American friend
said calmly, "That is the man. 1 told you he
was sure to be up. He's saved. Well, 1 am
very glad. Let US drink his health" One such
incident as this outweighs a thousand ESSAYS
urOn the early to bed and early TO rise theory,
a.. am afraid that the late nights at the club
will be later, and the ''early birds' at the club
will be demoralized by the escape Of this spry,
energetic man.

Asphalt Pavement and Fire.

The Journal of the Society of Arts states that
during the reign of the Commune in Paris in
1871, the fires made by incendiares were never
known to have been spread by means of the
asphalt pavements. In London experiments
were made on this point by heaping wood on
IL. When the fire was burning at its fiercest
the burning embers were raked away, and only
afew feeble flames were seen to issue from the
the pavement, and they went out directly of
their own accord.
In the stables of the Paris Omnibus company
the grain loftis Immediately over the stables,
and TO protect the oats from the effiuvium from
the stables the floor Of the loft was covered with
thick layer Of asphalt. In Ave different con-
nagrations this floor arrested the course of the
flames until help could be procured.
wooden floor covered with asphalt was also
perfectly protected against q fire which was
lighted on the asphalt; for though this substance

A Horrible Wife.Murder.

Massachusetts is now furnishing a very large

murder occurred in Edgeworth, village OF
Maiden, near Boston. 1t was about twenty
years ago that John Walch and his wife Sarah

II. |. They afterwards settled in Maiden and
when the war broke out Walch went into IL
from the Northern side. He came out of the
war with shattered constitution, and made
trip to bis native place in England, hoping to
become restored to health. He died there. and
his wife obtained pension, which she drew
quarterly up to the 4th of December last, when
she married Mark BOothby, a carpenter He
was thiIty-sevon years old and she ffty-four,
there being "A difference of seventeen wears in
their ages the wrong way. She had two chill
girl lived with her. BOOthby appears to have
been desperate character. He had been a
sea fa1ing man, and had served in the army
al d navy, and was addicted to intemperance
ard other bad habits. He had had several
wives, too, and divorced wife and some chill
dren of his lived in Boston. OF course no hap
piness could come out of such a union, and
the most likely thing in the world was for
tragedy TO grow out of ii. BOOthby was nat
urally Ugly and morOse in disposition, and
abused his family, as matter OF course. He
got an order to make a lot OF wheelbarroWs,
and having made them, he, in a drunken fit be-
gan TO split them to pieces, and set fire to them
and Turned them in the yard of the house. Mrs
Bootbby, fearing that they would set the house
on fire. first expostulated with him for his mad
ness, ard poured water on the flames. 1t was
oil to the fire that burned in him. and he
threatened to kill both her and her little girl
He went Off and primed himself with more
grOg, and returning to the house commenced
playing with a cat that belonged to the child.
The cat seemed to see fury in him and sprang
frightened out of his arms. He then took down
his gun to shoot the cat, and the girl pleaded
for its life. He pointed the gun at the child
the mother stepped between her little one and
danger, and received the charge in her own

She died almost instantly. Some of the slugs
had passed through her body, but the girl was
left unframed. BOothby left the house without
speaking word to the terror stricken girl and
ran for the woods. The whole community be-
came intensly excited, and started out in pur-
suit of the murderer. He went to the house of
his sister in Wakefield, and she persuaded him
to give himself up to the authorities, which he
accordingly sdid. The tragedy made a great
stir in the small quiet town of Edgeworth.

A Ghost i'm Chicago

A case rivaling in mystery that which has re-
Gently been reDorteG- from San Francisco in re-
gard to the "Stigmata" has Just been brought
to notice in Chicago. The manifestations be-
gan last fall and continued. till winter, and then
were heard no longer until few days ago. The
inmates of the house of MIR. Tobias Gold
schmidt, No. 317 South Park avenue, have long
been been disturbed by persistent ringing at
the door-bell. A cessation of the trouble ex-
listed for a time, but on the eve of last Good
Friday, and on subsequent nights, the family
have been much disturbed. If no one goes to
the door the mysterious visitor kicks and bangs
away, but If anybody goes no one is to be seen.
Police Sergeant Barrett has been called in to
explain the mystery, but he has no explanation
to offer. Every point at which fraud might
show its horrid front has been guarded by the
police, but still the ringing and general dis
turbance have been keptup. No longer ago
than last Wednesday night the ringing was
repeated, and strange and most unnatural
sounds were heard, and nobody but the inmate
of the house could tell when they would end
That astute person said that he would hear the
last of them on May 1; but what a terrible
vacancy does he leave to be filed by some per-
son who shall belive in the mysterious workings
of the infinite. The Chicago reporters believe
all that they report, and in this strange story
they have had no notion of bringing up some
thing which may re-establsh the reputation
of their city after what has been done i'm San
Francisco.

Sleeping Under the Clothes.

There is reason to believe that not few OF
the apparently unnaceOuntabie cases OF scrOfula
among children proceed from the habit of sleep
ing with the head under the bed clothes, and 50
inhaling air already breathed, which is further
contaminated by exhalations from the skin.
and II often happens that the bed clothes are so
disposed that the patient must necessarily
breathe air more or less contaminated by eShal-
atiOns from the skin. good nurse will be
part, so To speak, of ventilation. Ii may be
worth while to remark that when there is ary
danger of bed-sores, a blanket should never be
placed under the patient. 1t retains dampness
and acts like pOultice. Never use anything
but light Whitney blankets as bed covering for
the sick. The heavy, imperviOus cotton coun-
teTPane is bad, for the reason that il keeps the
carnations from the sick person, while the
blanket allows them to pass through. Weak

THE LAW OF MARRIAGE IN MIssoURI.-A
case Of some interest regarding what consti-
tutes marriage In its legal aspects was decided
on Friday by Judge Treat in st. Louis. The
case was that of Mrs. Carrie Holabird against
the Atlantic Mutual Life Insurance Company,
which was recently decided in favor OF the
plaintiff in the United States Circuit Court.
The defendant filed motion for a new trial.
The principal ground of the motion was that
the Court erred in allowing the plaintiff to
testify to the fact of the marriage ceremony
before an authorized clergyman without the
production at the same time of the clergyman's
certificate of the marriage, or a certified copy
thereof from the records of the county recor-
der. The judge decided the case by overriding
the motion. His reasons for this were, substan,
tally, that while clergyman may neglect his
duty in not keeping record Of the marriage
certificate to the county recorder, his failure to
do so does not invalidate the legality of the
marriage ceremony or render the marriage un-
lawful, null, and void. The best evidence of
the marriage is the direct testimony of those
who were present when the contract was en-
tered into, who as sworn witnesses in the case.
testify to the fact itself.
