An AffcctiOnate Wife.
From thu EOuth Bend Trihnne.

A few days ago a farmer in Madison
township quarreled With his wite and
left hone. He returned in q short
time, and the quarrel was resumed and
continued to such an extent that he ex-
pressed q desire to be out of tue world.
His wife intlmated that nothing would
please her better, and offered to do her
part if the rifle were only loaded. He
went into the house, got the rifle and
ammunition, and loaded it in the
presence of his wife, but was very
careful, when she was not looking,
to slip the ball down his
sleeve. After the gun had been
capped he handed 1t to her and went
into the yard, she following as far as
the door, when she took deliberate aim
and fired. The husband dropped in
the grass, to all appearances dead, and
laid there short time before the wife
came to him. 1t did not take her long
to discover that he was "playing pos
sum-" aud grasping an ax handle, sho
attacked him SO dercely that but for
the Interference of some of the children
she would have crushed his skull. It
is needless to add that there will be a
divorce

health and security in all places and

pose of Fastening and making sure the

Fruit Canning at Benton Harbor.

A correspondent informs us that two
fruit canning establishments are in
operation at Benton Harbor. Mich :,
the largest one being operated by the
Benton Harbor Packing Company.
This company have Just begun can
ming strawberries, for which they pay
seven cents per quart. They are
employing about 100 men and women
ut the present time, but when running
to full capacity have a force of $50
to 300hands. The work is done SYSTEM
atically from the hulling to the
labelling, each person or persons
having an allotted portion to do
-hulling, filing the cans with
berries and sweetened water, covering,
sealing and labelling. The bathing
consists in immersing in large vats
several cans at once and cooking them
for five or ten minutes, after which all
leaks are carefully searched for and
sealed, and then, while the contents
are at a boiling point, the cans are
pricked and all the air escapes. after
which they are again sealed and are
ready for the labels. Only tin cans
are, of course, used, and principally of
two sizes, two and three pounds. In
addition to strawberries, they put up
hominy, raspberries, string beans,
green peas, tomatoes and corn.
The company have already contracted
for the tomatoes on fifty acres of land,
and are anxious to obtain promises of
more. They pay for tomatoes seventy
cents per hundred pounds. OF corn,
tIox, ho~,o oontpo oku for OO0 ooroo aud
are not satisfied yet. 1t may be inter-
esting to know that one acre of corn
will produce as high as 5000 cans, and
occasionally more, making corn raising
a very profitable business as they pay
the producer four cents can.
Last year the company put up 80, 600
cans of strawberries, 12G, 600 of toma-
toes, 175,00O of peaches, and IT'S, 600
of corn. The present season they hope
to make q grand total of 5O0,O0O cans.

Mammoth Organ. Boston to be Eciipsed.

Mammoth VT&8u"'1SOSaOA " 10 LC1SpSc9s
The Baltimore Sun says: Mr.. Thos.
Winane is bnilling an immense organ
in connection with his private music
hall, conspicuous, for the tall chimney,
which towers above the buildings and
trees of his splendid city residences in
the western section of the city. This
organ. it is understood, will be the
largest ever constructed anywhere, and
is being built without regard to cost.
AS there is more or less Of experiment
in the structure, Mr.. Wiuans has been
reticent about his plans and purposes;
but it is known that Pomplitz is the
builder and one of the mammoth pipes
for the instrument being noticed
on the street yesterday attracted gen.
eral attention. The ''pipe" was thirty.
two feet in length and about two feet
square. 1t was painted yellow and
looked like huge smoke stack. It is
understood that the organ will have
over twenty-five bass pipes OF this size
and description, besides q forest Of
smaller pipes, requiring, it would
seem, the wind of a hurricane to make
them blow. It is also stated that il
will be almost year before the organ
is finished aud that it will be run by
steam, and is intended to eclipse Ill
the organs of the world, including the
':Pride of Boston, 1t will in fact bt
a sort of concentrated jubilee in ltsel
when it is once set going.

4 New Treatment OF Cancers.

The attention of the medical world
abroad has been aroused by the new
treatment of cancer. introduced in Lon
don by Hungarian physician named
Grob. He contends that cancer ia not
local but general disease; that it
arises from the presence Of poison in
the system; that the knife will never
cure the disease, but only postpone it's
fatal effects. His remedy consists in
setting up another disease-fever-un-
der the influence of which the blood
poison, which causes the cancer, is
thrown off. 1t is said that he has made
some marvellous cures.

Once, long ago, in summers glow,
:" We treaded, You and /,
A gardens maze OF pleasant ways,
whose beauty charmed the eye
Where yiolets bent in sweet content,
And pinks stood proud and high.
And from their screen Oftcnder green
Broad pansies peeping through,
Wore gorgeous dyes like butterflies;
Cool lilies kept the dew;
And fair and tall along the wall
The climbing roees grew.
The velvet bees, in fragrant case,
Law drunken with perfume -
Song g-sparrows made the gardens shade
Their ffittcring concert-room
And all the air was music there,
And ali the earth was bloom.

THE CHOLERA.
Cnu<es of tho Discasc amil Preventive,
--Circular from the American n Health
AxSOClA ion.

Causes of tho Discasc nmdl Prevemtlvex
-Circulnr from the American Health
ASsOctA liOn.
The following circular on cholera,
issued by the American Public Health
Association, will be found to contain
timely and valuable suggestions:
The American Public Health Asso-
citation, by its Executive Committee,
submits the following memorandum
respecting the most available means
for arrestlng and preventing the fatal
prevalence of Asiatic or malignant
cholera in this country:
The prevalence of this disease at
several places in the Mississippi Valley
is undisputed. It progress from New
Orleans to Memphis and Nashville has
been rapid, and is significant of it's
onward tendency. That it is being
propagated, as in former visitations,
by tile excremental discharges of per-
sons affected by the choleraic poison,
aided by local causes, is as true now as
in the former visitations.
To combat and arrest the progress,
and prevent the epidemic prevalence
of this sc0urge of sanitary negligence,
it is necessary that the inhabitants of
every city and town should promptly
resort to the most effectual publication
and the best known means of disinfec-
tion, and that this sanitary cleansing
and preparation should, as far as pos
sible, be undertaken before any cases
of cholera occur; and that in the pres
ence of the disease, these sanitary
duties should he enforced in every
household, and throughout the entire
district. Experience has proven that
the best way to prevent both pestilence
and panic, is to know and prepare for
the danger. 1t is the only way to deal
successfully with cholera.
eAN1TARY CLEANSING.
The local conditions that chiefly
promote the outbreak and propaga.
tion of cholera are
l. Neglected privies.
2. Filth-sodden grounds.
3. Foul cellars and filthy or badly
drained surroundings of dwellings.
4. Foul and obstructed house drains.
5. Decaying and putrescent mate
rails, whether animal or vegetable.
6. Unventilated, damp, and un-
cleansed dwellings and apartments.
These loca]izing causes of cholera
should be promptly and very thor
oughly removed before a. case of the
disease appears in the town or district;
and if any sources of putrescence or of
excessive moisture remain, even these
should be controlled by the proper
cleansing and disinfection.
Thorough scavenging and surface
drainage, with the application at the
same time of quick. lime and coal-tar or
crude carbolic acid; white-washing
with fresh quick-lime the cleansing
and thorough drying and ventilation
of cellars, Easements, chambers, and
closets, and daily care to cleanse, flush,
ventilate, and purify the sources of de-
Element about all inhabited premises,
will afford almost complete protection
if suitable care is taken of personal
health.
The security of personal health re.
quires pure drinking water, fresh and
substantial food, temperance, and the
needed rest and bathing of the body.

CATHOLIC TOTAL ABSTINENCE ASSOCIATIONS
Had any further evidence Of the success of this
Association been required, it was given by the
large attendance at the Church of the 1mma-
culate Conception last Sunday. Looking en-
tirely to the grace of God for strength to per-
severe in the work undertaken, the constitu-
ton of the Association provides for a general
communion on Passion Sunday of each year,
ard in fuillment of this obligation, the mem-
bers assembled at the Jesuits' Church. One
hundred and ten were present, each wearing
his badge of white silk with red rosette. After
the first gospel, the Rev. Father Bonige, s. j.,
Celebrant delivered most eloquent and prac-
teal sermon upon the necessity of frequently
approaching the Sacramento as the only means
of obtaining the grace and strength necessary
to resist the many temptations which beset
us through life. Through the kindness of the
Rev Fathers the members of the Society re-
ceived Holy Communion at the steps of the
altar. Thus, in full and humble submission to
the teachings of our Holy Mother the Church,
this Society may be considered as firmly estab-
lished in this city, and without arroGating to
ourselves the gift of prophecy, we predict for
it long career of prosperity and usefulness,
convinced that the attainment of it's objects
will bring secure peace and happiness to
many household.

TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR no MAN.-As East
or Monday approaches-the day appointed for
opening the last grand Fair in Algiers before
dedicatinG the beautiful New Gothic Church
to the service of the AlmiGhty-the expectant
Algerines are closely watching the great strug-
gle that is going on between Time-the COM
mon enemy OF mankind-on the one hand, and
the zeal and determination of Mr.. William
Leonard, the contractor, to gain q victory over
its persistent onward march. No doubt there
has been many a speculation as to whether the
noble building will be ready for the 14th inst,
but to any one who visits now the church, the
sequel is patent-tho church will be ready, and
beautifully ready, too. Steadily have the
scaffolds disappeared from the sanctuary and
nave, and it is evident that by Holy Thursday
the delight and pride of the AlGerine Catholics
will stand out in all its beauty and purity of
architecture 90 invite the beholder to point out

CATHOLIC ITALIAN CHUTCH.-We call the
attention of our readers to the card of tho Rev.
H. Cajone, Pastor of the church recently pur-
chased for the use of the Italians of this city.
This church was the old Seamans Bethel, on
Esplanade street, opposite the Mint, and Faith
er Cajonc, under authority from the Most Rev.
Archbishop, has been collecting money from
our citizens to meet the payments on it
and to procure such articles as are in
dispensable in n church. He has been
very successful in these cole ctons still,
quito II large is lacking, and the la
dies now come to his relief, proposing to
hold n Fair in the Stonewall Jackson Hall
commencing on Easter Monday and lasting
twelve days. They will also give Concert on the
Goth inst, at one o'clock. This good work is emil
nently deserving of assistance from the faithful,
and though our affairs not in prosperous a
condition as could be desired, we are sure that
each cap and will give something towards
making it success.
