Thc DrOOklrn Mnrdcr.

The mystery that hns enveloped the
murder OF Charles Goodrich in Brook
lyn, whose body was found in the base
mcnt of his own house, has been almost
impenetrable, and the detectives, CROP
ing hopelessly in tho dark, have eagerly
caught ut one theory after another. The
theory Of suicide was abandoned for
that OF murder by woman's hand, and
this now gives place to the SUPPOSE
ton that Mr.. Goodrich fell victim to
the jealous rage Of an unsuccessful
rival. The woman, who was arrested,
and who is in the custody Of the police,
has put her suspicious into words, and
whispered them into the Chiefs ears,
and already dispatch has been sent to
Baltimore aud other Southern cities,
and also to Havana, warning the police
TO be on tho watch for aSpaniard named
Roscoe, whose personal appearance is
very fully described. The parents OF
Mrs. Myers state that the alleged muir
derer was respected sutton OF his
daughter, and she herself claims to be
assured that jealousy impelled him to
take vengeance upon his rival. The
prisoner still retains her self.possession,
aud answers the searching inquiries Of
the detectives with great composure
aud assurance. II she is to be believed,
much Of the mystery that has shrouded
one OF the strangest Of modern murders
has been cleared away, and the assassin
il known by name, even II lie eludes
the vengeance Of the law.

Health and Talent.

II is no exaggeration to say that health
is large ingredient in what the world
calls talent. A man without It may be q
giant in intellect, but his deeds will
be the deeds Of dwarf. But, if he has
RquiCk circulation, good digestion, the
bulk, thews, and sinows Of man, and
the alacrity, and unthinking confidence
inspired by these, and, though having
but thimbleful Of brains, he will either
blunder upon success or set failure ut
defiance. II is true, especially in this
country, that the number OF centaurs in
every community-of men in whom
heroic intellects are allied with bodily
constitutions Us tough MS those OF horses
lis small; that, in general, a man has
reason TO think himself well of in the
lottery Of life, il he draws the prize Of
healthy stomach without a mind, or
the prize Of n fine intellect with crazy
stomach. But OF the two, q weak mind
int Herculean francis bettOr than a giant
mind in crazy constitution. A pound
OF energy with an ounce Of talent, will
achieve greater results than pound Of
talent with an ounce OF energy. The
first requisite to success in life is to be
a good animal. In any Of the learned
professions, vigorous constitution is
equal to at least fifty per cent. more
brain. Wit, Judgment, imagination,
eloquence, all the qualities Of the mind,
attain thereby force and splOndor, TO
which they could never approach with.
out II, But intellect in q weak body, is
'like goldin spentswimmer's pocket"
A mechanic may have tools Of the sharp.
ost edge and highest polish but what
arc these without vigorous arm md
hand or what use is II that your mind
has become vast granAry Of knowledge,

Convertible Bends.

Few people understand the real moan.
ing OF convertible bonds. Here it is,
given by correspondent A board OF
directors Of railroad or any corpora.
ton that issues bonds, finding the
operation Of their property Improbable
and running them in debt, have the
power by explicit statute to thus increase
the capital stock OF the company, sell
it, and apply the proceeds to make up
deficiencies and tothe payment Of divi.
dends. It is very easily managed. Find.
ing they must have money, the board
votes to raise It on convertible bonds. F."
One or two bonds arc issued for the
whole amount, and are Immediately
converted into stock. Twenty.four
hours accomplish the whole thing, and
the shareholders wake TO read in tho
morning papers that the capital Of their
company has beendoubled without their
knowledge, and that the stock is on the
market for sale for what it will bring.
Any one familiar with the stock trans.
actions OF the past fifteen years can
recall the wrongs perpetrlted upon
stockholders by the sudden and unex.
pected increase OF capital stocks.

The Last Witches Executed in Eng
land.

Tho following brief notice of the last
persons who suffered from witchcraft in
these kingdoms is curious. In 1903, a
girl 10 years Of age having eaten leaf
Of sorrel, which she got from a reputed
witch, fell into commissions and vomit-
ing. She is said to have vomitted
needles, pins, feathers, M iron knife q
span long, egg shells, &c, The accused
was Immediately committed to the coun.
ty jail, and at the assizes held soon
after, was hanged and burned ! In
1922, at Dornoek, Switzerland, M old
woman was accused OF being witch.
Her crime was, transforming her
daughter into pony, aud getting her
shod by the Devil, Of which crime she
was found guilty, and burned The
act against witchcraft was repealed in
England and Scotland about 100 ; but
not in Ireland until 1921

Advertising Medley.

German musician lntenuh 70 compose
series Of airs to a medley OF newspaper
advertisements. The idea seems to us
to be a good one, aud it has occurred to
us that we may help the composer n lit
tie perhaps by arranging few advertise.
ments in suitable form for adaptation
to music. For instance. suppose il is
tailor's advertisement that is selected.
We should work it up into some such
tender strain as this:
Obi como into tho garden, Maud.
And sit beneath the rose,
And soc mo prAnce around tho beds,
Dressed in my Sunday clothes.
OH como and bring your uncles, Maud,
Your sisters and your Aunts,
And tell them johnson made my coat,
Ny wAiStcoat, and my pants,
This is pathetic and practical. The
verse is filed with sentiment and with n
sweet, melodious cadence peculiarly its
own and yet it makes Johnson's pants
charmingly conspicuous, and calls Mt
teltion TO his waistcoat, while it ideal.
ICES and spiritualizes that useful but
comparatively uninteresting article.
Then, say we want to set to music n to-
bacconist's advertisement. Would we
not choose some such fairy.liko verse us
this:
Gaily young Ferguson
Bought his cigar
Bought II at Mullignn'H,
Where the best are.
When he wants hne-cut, or
Snuff for his nose,
Gaily young Ferguson
Purchases those,
Few poets could soar rs we do thus
into the realms OF fancy with such q
theme; but it is ever thus with genius
when its salary is promptly paid, as ours
is. We would soar higher Il tho COM
pensation were larger. As it is, We have
given exactly the moneys worth. Or,
again: Suppose the composer desired
10 wed groccr's advertisement to i'm
mortal music. We should give him n
chance with some suchglowiug imagery
as this.
oh! say not love you because the molasscs
You purchased at Simpsons was golden and

Without never mind. Take another
case. We have an umbrella man to deal
with. We desire to embalm his adver.
