an ardent admirer of Savings
Banks, and particularly in town
like Fayetteville Their value
in inducing habits of economy
and gathering small sums into a

much towards oiling the wheels
of manufacture and commerce,
is shown by the Savings Bank

of banks atl72, with 63Q,246 de-

A SCENE IN PARIS. Mot long ago one
OF the most celebrated women of the demi
monde of Paris committed suicide by throw
ing herself out of the window of her lodging
She was Spaniard, Madame Pepina San,
chez. Her admirers dubbed together and
gave her sumptuous funeral The body
lay in state The spectacle attracted crowds.
Each frail sister inscribed her name or made
her mark in a book kept for the purpose,
aud left her portrait in basket The cof-
fin was superbly mouuted in silver. and af-
ter services in the Church of the Madeline,
it was placed temporarily ia vault Of that
church to await the arrival Of the husband,
who had been separated from Madame San
chez for years The husband came, & sold
the furniture, the articles of luxury, the lit
tie personal fleets of his wife.
The bidding was spirited, and ten thou
sand dollars was realized, which the hus-
band pocketed He declined to pag for the
occupation of the vault at the Ma ielaine, or
for the removal of the body. Any funeral
expenses he utterly repudiated. He said he
was only too happy to be definitely rid Of
his wife, and refused to be plagued any more
about her. The committee first formed to
bury the woman and erect tomb over her
remains was appealed to, but in vain. The
members shook their heads and suggested
the disconsolate husband. Finally, the
magnificent coffin was placed in the paupers
hearse, and, with its silver trappings scarce
ly tarnished deposited 10 the Fosse Com.
mune in the paupers' field. The moral is
easily drawn.

A Family Tragedy i'm PEaiIadieE.
phaa--A Wealthy Man Shoots
His Wife and Kills himself.

1t was briefly stated last week that Thom.
as Brown Parker, a wealthy citizen of Pbil
adelphia, whose income is $50, 900 year,
had shot his young wife and killed himself.
The ball passed through his wife eye-ball,
and has not yet been found, and her eoudi
ton Is critical. The Ledger" OF chat city
gives the following particulars of the TRACE
dy:
| Thomas B. Parker, the deceased, was a
son of the late Isaac Parker, who left a
large estate, part of which included the
ground upon which the Cincinnati Hotel is
built lie has not been in business for
many years, having inherited a large income
from his fathers estate, the principal of
Which was held in trust for him by his bro
Their. About eight years ago Parker mar
ried Miss Helen McGregor, he then being
about 81 years and she 20 years old. They
resided in elegant style in an ornamental
orownstone villa in the western portion of
West Philadelphia. the house being sur
rounded by beautiful grounds, conservato-
ries, &c aud furnished within with most
OF the luxuries and comforts of the residence
of refined and wealthy family. Parker's
habits have not been such az TO make his
relations with his wife o the happiest, and for
long time past they have occupied sepa-
rate rooms, the child occupying cot in its
mothers apartment.
On Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Parker was
out riding in phaeton driven by his COACH
man, and on his return his demeanor was
noticed as being remarkably sullen and mo-
rose. He retired early in the evening and
went at once to his room, and nothing more
was heard of him until the dreadful deed of
the night was done It seems from the
testimony shat Parker went to bis wies
room with the pistol and shot her while she
vas IL bed. She arose and fed from the
room to that of the servants, whore she Law
down beseeohing the domastics to save her
baby, which was still in the crib in the room
with its father. The female domesties were
afraid to venture into the room, and called
out OF the window for the coachman, who
slept In a room in the stable building. He
came to the house 90 soon az he could, but
noAo vi tue iendale servants would come
down stairs to let him in, and be gained an
entrance by means of a plank by which he
entered the seoond-story window. When
advised of the coalition Of affairs he started
for the police and physician, aud on re-
turning the party entered Mrs Parker's
room, where they found Parker lying across
the foot of his wife's bed, dead, with the
pistol in his hand, having shot himself be-
bind the ear, the bali passing forward and
to the left. and lodging at the root of tbs

Exciting Scene i'm {. Nzenagrie

A terrible scene took place 10 Mander's mena
gerio, at Whitby, in England, on Septem-
Der 49, There were several hundred peo
pie in the show, when heartrendipg cries, as
,SroBl .or.q.-in mortal ageag, went through
the air. A panic onsued Thu people, ter
riblg excited, ran en- noasss to the narrow
outlet, and endeavored to escape by other
means A cry was raised outside that one
Of the beasts had burst through the bars Of
it's cage, and the excitement among the
crowd without was scarcely less intense than
that within. La the rush TO the door many
people, particularly the weaker sex, were
Injured, and the confusion was increased
from the circumstance Of couple Of camels
blocking up the doorway. Meanwhile the
cries continued, and it was discovered that
poor boy named Langley was the victim
of the vciousness Of big tiger, placed
alongside another next to the cage contain
ing the lion that worried to death poor Nc,
Ca thy, the lion-tamer, at Bolt>n last year.
The tiger was infuriated. and was making
strenuous eff trts to draw the lad through
the bars of the cage. The beast growled
frightfully, and what with the pltliul cries
of the boy, the shouts Of the men, and the
screeches of half-fainting women, the scene
was one of the most terrible description
Some men ran for hot irons. while others
beat the beast with their sticks aad umbrel-
las, and did all they could to draw The brute
from it's helpless victim. Ultimately, after
a.severe mauling, the animal relnquished
its prey, and the boy, helpless and faint
through loss of blood from the injuries he
had received, was oorne away through the
crowd His wounds, upon being dressed,
appeared to be of serious nature, though
they are not likely to prove fatal. The
brute seems to have caught its victim just
below the elbow, aud tore deep lump of
flesh right down the forearm to the wrist
There is also deep cash in the palm of the
left hand, from which the hemorchage is
great The patient lies ia great pain, and
it is feared he will not recover the perfect
use of his arm. One OF the keepers had al
SO been severely injured. He was struck
by one Of the elephants, and his ribs were
smashed in The man vas taken to the
workhouse in he'll less condition.

THE DATE EN THE RING.

The women dressed her for farewell
In snowy silk and lace;
crown of her braided hair they set
Above her quiet face,
And on her placid breast they laid
White roses, as become maid.
Her mother bent and kissed her lips,
And kissed her braided. hair,
And folded down the peaceful hands
Upon the bosom fair. 9b
A nd weeping, saw on one q ring 4t
A little golden time-worn thing.
She took it from the icy hand
And looked for rhyme or name,
Something to say why it was there,
From whose fond thought it came, SCI
She only saw, through many a tear.
A date long past--day, month and year.
ss,'Twss some school fellows gift" she sighed
ssThe child forgot to show"
And put it back in its own place
With tender touch and slow,
And saw its Tiny glitter rest,
Like sunbeams on that pulseless breast.
All, little ring, you keep it well,
The secret of your date
Whatever its meaning, it goes untold
Beyond the eal tn and fate
Pain or blessing, who can say,
How much OF either in it lay.
We watch the light in our darling's eyes,
The lines that the slow years bring,
Yet know as little what they mean
AS the secret of the ring.
Joy or sorrow, God only knows
How much of both lies under the rose

LIME AND SALT.-Prof johnson recon,
mends for fertilizing purposes to mix one
hushel of salt and two bushels Of dry lime
under cover, and allow the mixture to de-
compose gradually, thus forming chemical
union. For this purpose the mixture should
made SIX weeks before use, or still better,
two or three months. the heap being turn
ed over occasionally. This salt and lime
mixture. when applied at the rate of twenty
or thirty bushels per acre, forms an excel
lent top-dressing for many crops. Tt acts
powerfully on the vegetable matter Of soils;
fifty six bushels applied to turnips have pro-
duced as large crop as barpyard manure.
1t is destructive to gruba and insects in the
soil. Like soil it attracts moisture from the
air, and is useful against drouth. Its de.
composing power is remarkable, and if three
or four bushels Of it are mixed with load
OF muck. the latter will be thus thoroughly

there had never before been such failure
Of sesd corn in coming up as the present
season. His observations and those of his

Its vitality destroyed BY freezing. Corn
husked and thrown on the floor, and cover
ed with snow had (seven-eights ofit) grown.
Corn left 10 the shock in the field had pro-
duced corn put in the crib had failed
He concluded from these observations and
this experience. that all seed corn, if husked
should be kept from freezing during the win
ter that if husked, it should never be al
lowed to lie on the ground over night and
that corn that is to be hung up in cool
room for seed, should never be husked I'M
