Extraordinary Murder by a Child.

A few miles from this city, on the op-
pos1te side OF the river, is Mr.. George
humphreys plantation, known as the
Dalkieth place, on which there are
several colored families living. The pride
OF one OF these families is very pre-
coclous little six-year-old boy, whose
sprlghtllness and intelligence have been
the JOY and admiration of his parents.
and the remark of all who knew the lit
tie fellow. Some time ago a little
stranger appeared in the family to claim
| part of the love and care of the parents
and divide the parental affection with
the little six-year-old. He had no love
for the baby, was jealous Of it. and it's
presence in the family was a sting in his
little breast. In his own childish way.
he brooded over the matter for some
time, and seemed finally to decide upon
a course of action.
Day before yesterday, while the men
were in the field at work, and the woman
either with them or engaged elsewhere.
the children were left alone about the
cabins to amuse themselves as they might
see fit. The mother of the infant and
the little six-year-old had left the baby
snugly slowed away in the cradle asleep.
and her little boy in the yard playing
with the other children, when she went
away. She had scarcely gotten out of
sight, when the little boy gathered up
brickbat, almost as much as he could
carry, and walking into the cabin where
the baby lay, began to pelt it over the
head with the brick until he actually
succeeded In breaking the infants skull.
and MASKING it almost to a Jelly. He
then managed to get the child out of the
cradle, and dragged its lfeless body to
the woods, short distance from the
house, where he hid the body in the
bushes, and returning to his playmates
said to them " [ beeve I till ole baby"
He then led them to the spot where he
had left the infant lying, ands enough
there lay the little innocent with its head
crushed, and life extinct. When it is
considered that the perpetrator of this
most foul and atrocious crime is only 6
years old, it almost staggers belief

Typhoid Fever.

At recent lecture on typhoid fever at
Guys Hospital, Sir William Gull re-
marked that two hundred and fifty years
ago one of the kings of England died of
the ague, but now by improved agricul-
ture and drainage the disease had be-
come rare, and certainly. few die of it.
Typhoid fever, he asserts, is as prevent
able as ague, and two hundred and fifty
years hence deaths from it will be rare.
The disease is caused by virus of ma
ture, which may get into the healthy
body, increase in it, and destroy it. It
Is an accidental condition, and not one
OF the ordinary processes of nature.
The origin of the disease is somehow
or another connected with drainage: it
has therefore been called the filth fever.
and to get rid of the filth is to get rid of
the fever. This was illustrated in the
case OF the Milbank prison, where
typhoid and dysentery were once thor
oughly established, but where both al
most wholly disappeared when the
water supply was changed and efficient
drainage provided In closing his re-
marks on the treatment of the disease
the lecturer said that no man can ap
proach case of typhoid fever without
paying some attention to hygiene. This
he claimed was of the greatest import
ance, and with it he would prefer to
carry any one through the disease by
wines, soups and fresh air, rather than
by drugs.

ReSurganl.

A strange case of resuscitation lately
took place at the hospital of the Val de
Grace, at Paris. A man had hanged
himself in the Rue st. Jacques. and
having been cut down and examined by
the medical men, was pronounced dead.
The clinical lecturer, however, desired
to try one last experiment, and he opened
the chest and attempted artificial respir-
alton, but without success. He then
applied the pole of an electrical battery
to the pneumo-gastricn nerves, and passed
a strong current at intervals of four
seconds. Soon after some signs of
respiration appeared, and in five min
utes the cardiac pulsation was percep-
tlble. The epiglottis was tumefed, and
the tongue had to be drawn out with
pincers to leave passage for the air.
A few ounces of blood were obtained
from the medico-cephalic vein. the
dllated pupils contracted, the signs of
life became more and more manifest. a
few drops of alcohol were given, mus
cular contractions became visible with
cut electricity, warmth returned to the
feet, the pulsation in the carotid arteries
recommended. and the patient was cured.

CuriOsities of Weather.

Perhaps there is nothing about which
ordinary people talk so much at random
as the weather how, in their time. r.
was colder, hotter, drier or wetter !.
whereas, as matter of fact, although
one. year may differ from another. the
average of wet and fine, of cold and
heat, is maintained from generation to
generation. The greatest cold exne-
rienced in England has been 5 degrees
and in France "a degrees; the greatest

There are no parts of the human body
that need more assiduous attention than
the feet. If the eyes, ears, lungs. or
other more delicate organs become de-
ranged, they give warning by ailment.
1t is otherwise with the feet. They may
be neglected or even abused without any
bad consequences being immediately
felt; but then, though not immediately
felt, they will to certainty be eventu-
ally felt, and felt very sorely too. An
excessive flow of blood to the head, ex-
IRENE liability to cold, disordered diges-
ton, and other numerous evils are the
results OF lnattention to the feet. The
feet should be regularly washed and
wiped every day. Stockings should not
be put on while there is the slightest
moisture on the feet. The stockings
absorb the moisture, and gradually re-
turn it to the feet, thereby causing them
to feel cold and uncomfortable. and
what is worse, when the feet are cold.
circulation is interfered with, and the
whole system, especially the brain, is
thrown into an abnormal state. Keep
the feet clean and warm, the head cool,
and the bowels open, and then it makes
little difference to you whether the
be skillful or not. If YOU
wish to preserve your whole system in
good working order, be sure and attend
to your feet. Let all our readers profit
by these remarks, and they will soon
feel by experience that we are not exag-
the consequences of proper at
tention to the feet.

The Freedom of the Press.

The Constitutional Convention of Penn
sylvania has Incorporated the following
into the new Bill Of Rights for that State:
"The printing press shall be free to
every person who undertakes to examine
the proceedings of the Legislature or
any branch of the Government, and no
law shall ever be made to restrain the
right thereof. The free communication
OF thought and opinions is one of the
invaluable rights of man, and every citi-
zen may freely speak, write, and print
on any subject, being responsible for
the abuse of the liberty. No conviction
shall be had in any prosecution for the
publication of papers relating to the Off
cial condnct of officers or men in public
capacity, or to any other matter proper
for public investigation or information.
where the fact that such publication was
not maliciously or negligently made shall
be established to the satisfaction of the
jury. And in all indictments for libel
the jury shall have the right to deter
mine the law and the facts, under the
direction of the court, as in other cases."

Michigan Lumber.

If we aid the lath and shingles we reach
near fifty million dollars as the yearly
value of this great industry. We find

include machinists or saw-maI ers in

their fields to prepare food for this host
OF workers, and the four-footed beasts
that serve them.

Governors Salaries.

The salaries of the Governors of the
States range from 81, 900 to S., 900 a year.
Louisiana, the least able in her present
financial condition, except perhaps South
Carolina, to pay big salary, pays IS, 900
a year for her Governor. McEnery and
Kellogg could afford to divide as com
promise of political differences and still
have better pay than good many Gov
errors get. California comes next in
the lis paying $1,000 a year, probably
IN gold, though now that greenbacks are
IN circulation in the Pacific States, Gov.
Booth may have to be content with
them. Nevada, the silver State, thinks
she can afford Sc, 000a year forthe luxury
OF Governor, and pays it without
grumbling. None of the other States
pay more than $4,000 and most Of them
5000 and under. The great State of
New York pays but 81, 900 for the able
administration of Gen. Dix, while Hi
nois gets the services of John l.. Bey
eridge for 81, 500 year. A Vermont
Governor manages to get on with 81 900
year, but as he watches over a far
more limited territory than Gov. Furnas,
OF Nebraska, who gets no more, he
ought not to grumble. Cincinnati
