Georges, the scars ON the legs were
similar also, and the hair, eyebrows and
iinger-nalls were marvelously alike.
Who the dead man was, was never as
certained. After Georges return, how
ever, inquiries were made, such as it
was never deemed needful to make so
long as the dead man was supposed to
be Mrs. Mowbray's Young son.
These inquiries led to the discovery
that the day before the tragedy three
men, supposed to be from London, took
mp their quarters at an inn in neigh
boring village; one of them the landlord
thought he recognized as having been in
Mrs. Mowbray's service as a groom.
The footsteps of three persons were also
discovered in the garden, and some time
after a rope ladder and horse trough,
which had apparently been used to lay
upon the spikes Mt the top of the garden
wal, were discovered in the neighboring
copse but the name of the deal man
was never discovered. y

EMPLOYMENT FOR WOMEN

Miss Emily Faithful writes to the
F7reside Companion in answer to the
question, "What can be done for poor
single women?" give them all trade.
She thinks telegraphy, photography,
photography, wood engraving, watch
making, type-setting, among the more
appropriate vocations for women. In
England, owing to trades-unionism,
women will not be admitted to learn or
follow the trade of matchmaking,
though one extensive matchmaker said
that woman's delicacy of touch was a
necessity to him, and he therefore sent
to Switzerland to have the part of his
work done which required that delicacy.
Miss Faithful found great difficulty in
finding employment for female wood en-
gravers in England. She says that
"we want schools of design and tech
nical schools. At present we women
are nowhere in the race not from in
herent deficiency, but from the absence
of special training"

Double Ofiice.HOlding.

The Presidents executive order, an
nouncing that persons holding Federal
positions who accept Office under the au-
thority of the States and Territories will
be considered to have resigned, is an
other evidence of his sincere interest in

The New York World calls it ga sham. u

that it is not The Tenure-of-O Office act,
as it states, is still unrepealed, and under
that law the President can only condi-
tionaIly remove. But when he says that
the acceptance of a State Office by Fed
eral officer will be regarded as a resigna-
ton he announces that he will nominate
successor to the Senate, and the Senate
must assume the responsibility Of retain
ing the officer.
1t is not the Presidents fault that the
law is not repealed. His opposition to

pense with the laws even to secure a bet
ter service, it is ridiculous to call his
resolution to do all that he legally can a

MORE YISKEE ENTERPRISE.

The Samana Bay Company's opera.
tions in San Domingo have now found
their counterpart in the operations of
the Polynesian Land and Commercial
Company, recently organized in San
Francisco, which has purchased 800, 900
acres of cotton-growing land in the
Navigator's Islands, which lie northeast
of Australia and almost north of New
Zealand. The company was first or
ganized with capital of 500, 900, the
objects of the company being the pur-
chase of lands, acquiring harbor and
other privileges, and the formation of q
trading depot and coaling station to con-
meet with the steamship lines between
San Francisco and Australia and New
Zealand. Since the first formation of
depots the company has gone on and
purchased 414 miles of land, making
with the quantity previously purchased
about 300, 900 acres, which they propose
devoting to sea island cotton. They also
have possession of the harbor of Pango-
Pango, which is the only laniLprotected
harbor in the Pacific islands, and is the
key to the whole group. 1t is creditable
to American enterprise that, while the
English Government and English capi-
talists were engaged in talking about
Pango-Pango, American capitalists
stepped in and took possession of it.

UOG vs.. SHEEP.

Official reports show in Ohio an an
nual loss of sheep of 81, ,OOO, 900 in in
juries-a loss equivalent to 5000, 900
pounds of wool, or tax of two per cent.
upon the total sum invested in sheep in
that State. 1t is said that in two years,
1868 to 1870, Illinois sank from the
sixth to the ninth rank among the States
in the number and value of its sheep,
and this great falling off is attributed to
the proportionato increase in the num-
Der of dogs, and the lack of proper leg
islation to prevent their rayages among
the sheep. In Maryland the returns
from five counties report over 1,l0O
sheep killed in one year by dogs.

4 DiEGEROyIS PAPER,

The green paper used to wrap about
lozenges, sold in shops, railroad cars,
and on street corners, has long been
suspected to contain arsenic, and with
the view of ascertaining the facts by
analysis, we recently purchased roll of
lozenges covered with this paper.
A qualitative examination of the paper
afforded all the characteristic reactions
for arsenic and copper. The wrapper
contains 20 square inches of paper. OF
this, 1G were taken for quantitative
analysis. The result of the examination
showed that this portion contains .l516
grams, or . "a grains of metallic arsenic.
This is equivalent to 2.9i grains in the
whole of the wrapper, quantity suffi-
cient to destroy life in an adult person.
Children in all parts of the country are
allowed to purchase the lozenges covered
with this dangerous paper, and the rolls
are often put into the hands of infants,
as a plaything. As everything goes
into the mouth of children, ii is easy to
see that no more dangerous substance
can pass into family than these pack
ages of confectionery. 1t is quite prob
able that instances OF poisoning have
occurred from this cause, which have
been of n serious or fatal character.
There should be laws prohibiting the
use Of poisonous papers for any purpose.

This remark suggests one observation.
The President is constantly held person
ally responsible, and often by those who
are not unfriendly to him, for every in
efficient and corrupt officer in the service,
and for all the conduct of office-holding
| politicians This is the sheerest injus-
/ tlce. Nothing is more evident than that,
under the system which has so long pre-
vailed, and with the acquiescence of the
country, the President can know very
little of the character or of the qualifica-
tons of the great multitude of Office
holders, while the effice-holding politi-
clans are a disciplined and organized
body which, rs the World says, may IN
a sense defy the President. They natur-
ally wish to sustain an Administration
under which they are in place, and whose
friends in the Senate have declined to
repeal the Tenure Of Office law. IF they
are accused Of coercing a convention or
of controlling Legislature, they are in
stantly declared to be the agents of the
President, and the fact that every one
who takes part in it is not removed is
instantly cited as evidence of the Presi-
dents completely.
The President, however, has never de-
clared, nor do We suppose he thinks, that
those who hold office should abdicate
either proper interest or activity In
politics. Indeed, his executive order of
last year, upon this very subject, shows
that he is not of that opinion. But his
present action is the plainest possible
intimatioE, and, together with that to
which we have referred, is the completest
declaration, and there is an improper
and excessive interest and activity in
politics which he condemns and will not
countenance. There is a very Just and
proper impatiencc among self-respecting
citizens with the presence, and what may
he called the admonitory supervision, of
national ofiice-holders in conventions
and similar assemblies and nothing was
more agreeable at the Philadelphia Con-
vention that renominated the President
than their conspicuous absence. The
present executive order is suggestion
to those gentlemen TO continue to be
modest. There must, indeed, be parties
and organizations, and a consequent sur
render of Indifferent and minor prefer
ences. But there must be reason in all
of these things And the President is
plainly of that opinion--Harper's

AN VENTURE WITH A WILDCAT

Port Jervis was Jerry Richards, of
Tuttle's Corners, N. j. He was bring
ing the carcass of large wildcat to the
city, and he told this story:
On Thursday we killed beef, and
thought to take quarter to my sister,
at Branchville, eight miles from Tuttle's
Corners. 1 took a young lady and the
beef in my sleigh, and we started. 1t
was dark when we reached Culyer's Gap,
where the spruce trees tower up and
where there isn't house to be seen. In
the thickest part we heard noise like a
baby crying. The horses snorted, but /
drove on. Then a terrific howl right
over our heads WAS heard, and a spring,
and something pounced on the young
lady and buried its claws in her shoul.

aimed at the beasts eye. The muzzle
almost touched it as pulled the trigger,
and the catamount rolled from the sleigh
into the ditch. I did not wait to pich
him up then, for he kicked little, but
let him cool until the next morning, and
then found him on my return. They

SCaLDS AND BURNSe

The treatment invariably adopted for
these, at st. Thomas Hospital, when
admitted directly after the injury, is to
whitewash the parts with paste of
whiting and vinegar. This is covered
with layer of thin linen, and the whole
enveloped in cottonwood. The patients
themselves acknowledge the immediate
relief which this affords, and the parts
usually do well. The crust which forms
is left on until it crumbles of, wnen a
fresh layer is put on but when granu-
lating sore occurs, the ordinary form of
dressing is substituted. Medical Times
