The confession made by man in San
Francisco, who pretends to be the muir
derer of Mr.. Nathan, will hardly be re-
ceived with confidence. There is a sort
of haziness about the story which would
hardly be found in the narrative of the
real criminal if that individual should
determine to make clean breast of it.
This man does not know the names of
his confederates in the crime; he does
not state where the iron dog was
procured, although he processes to
know; he claims to have possession Of
some of Mr.. Nathan property, but re
fuses to tell where it is secreted; he de-
clares that his family live in New York;
but the location of their residence is not
given and finally he aliirms that he was
born at Sunnyside, and nearly related
to the family of Washington Irving. 1t
has been suggested that the motive
which impeled this man to assume the
responsibility for such shocking crime
is probably desire to obtain free
passage to New York city, where his
discharge is certain. 1t is very possible
that this is his object, unless, indeed he
is insane.

Fhs Education Of women.


From the hcH York limcs.l
The higher education Of women, as It
is sought after IN this country and IN
England, brings out some curious com
parsons. The Cambridge University
examination has recently been conclu-
ded, and the results have just been pub
iishsd. They show a marked improve
ment in tbs atiainments Of the candidates
and reveal the fact that, in al the schools
and colleges for girls throughout Great
Britain, the field Of education isreceiving
every year a wider development But
where American girls would probably
display the greatest proficiency, English
girls prove themselves the most incom-
peteEt The success with which srith-
meiic is taught IN our schools, the eager
ness with which it is learned. and TIE
degree Of proficiency which both girls
ans boys attain in ID, are almost peculiar
features IN our system. But arithmetic

ASIATIC CHOLERA IN CHINA.
Almost Every Case Cured With
p Al N-kIll { r!

Dear Sirs During a residence of some ter
yea's in Siam and China, as a missionary, found
your Pain Killer a most valuable remedy for thai
fearful scourge the Cholera.
In administering the medicine l found it most
efectual to give tea-spoonful of Pain-ki il
a gill Of hot water sweetened with sugar then af
ser about fifteen minutes, begin to give about q
tablespoonful of the same mixture every few min.
utes until relief obtained. Apply hot appli
cations to the extrcmities. Battle the stomach
with the Pain Killer clear, and rub the limb.
briskly. OF those who had the Cholera, and toob
the medicine faithful, Y, in the way stated above
eight out of ten recovered.
REV. R. TELFS RD. Missionary in China
Dear Sirs During long residence in China
I have used your valuable Pain Killer. both il
my own family and among the Chinese, and have
found it a most excellent medicine In the Sum
mers of 1862 and 1868, while residing in Shang ghai
found il almost certain for cholera if used
in time. Indeed, using it in great many in
stances, do not remember failing in single case
For three years have been residing in this place
more than fifty miles from physician, and hay,

in cases of sickness. The Chinese come to us il
great numbers for medicine aud advice. Though
without medical knowledge ourselves, the few
simple remedies command so much il
advance even of their ply yscians. that we have al
most daily applications. We allow them to come
because it brings us in contact with them and open
q door of usefulness. In diarrhea. collie vomiting
cholera, coughs, etc., your Pain-Klle has beer

REV. T. CRAWFORD. Tungehow, China
Those using Pain Killer should strictly observ,
the following directions
At the commencement of the disease, take
teaspoonful of Pain Killer, in sugar and water anC
then bathe freely across the stomach and b. ve
with the Pain-Killer clear Should the diarrhes
and cramp continue, repeat the dose every ffteeI
minutes. In this way the dreadful seourge may
be checked and the patient relieved in the eours,
of few hours.
N. B.-Be sure and get the genuine article; anG
il is recommended by those who have used tbs
Pain-K Killer for the cholera. that in extreme case:
the patient take two (or more) teasroOnfuls in
stead of one.
