An Andrew County Man Attempts
Suicide in ST .Joa

49,
Suicide in St. Joe.
We learn from the ST. Joe papers
that Henry Bottger, Esq, attempted
suicide on Friday last by taking laud-
anum while at the residence of his
broth er-in-law in that city, Nj.
George Mclaughlin. The account
says Bottger came to the city on
Friday, and about 6 O'Clock in the
afternoon bought an ounce of laud-
anum at Captsin Schmidt's drug
store, on Frederick venue On his
way to McLaughlin's he drank the
entire contents of the bottle. When
he reached his brother-in- laws, he
told what ne had done, and stated
that debt was the trouble. Finan-
cial trouble had weighed heavily on
his mind for some time. By means
Of an %antidote, the laudanum was
thrown mp. and he came through all
right, and left for his home in this
county oil Sunday morning.

A Broken Window.

A San Francisco paper relates the fol-
lowing incident which recently occur
red there, which shows how easy it is
to collect crowd in large city: "a
man carrying uponhis shoulder heavy
iron bar struck it against large glass
window and cracked the pane. The
street was ole where loaded vehicles
frequently passed, and so to prevent
the iarring from causing the cracks to
extend, ring was drawn about the
spot ON the glass with a diamond point.
Somebody caught sight of the shivered
spot and the circle about it, and stop
ped to look. Another did likewise; the
crowd increased, and in short time
four policemen arrived on the run, il
having been reported at headquarters
that a pistol ball had been fred into
the Office, and that the place had beer
robbed. OF course the coming of the
police drew still larger crowd. and tht
Office was almost besieged. The excite
ment could not be allayed, and th'
crowd dispersed until a placard wa
hung up giving tue explanation OF tn
affair, and even then q number lingeret
near to spell out the Words.

rowful hands, and went on more slowly
after the others.
An hour passed before a low, eager
cry came from Mrs. Medford's lips
"goine here, james !"
So she found him. She had taken
ont one OF the lanterns, and her mo-
theirs instinct had led her on to the
right place at last. Mr.. Smith stepped
to her side. the light from the two
lanterns shone on what looked like the
statue OF little boy. The long,, curled
lashes dropped upon his cheeks. His
face cleaned like marble in the dim
light, and in one careless hand was q
great bunch of the poisonous berries
the deadly night-shade bears.
"See those berries" the mother
whispered. "James, is he dead 2"
Mr.. Smith bent over the child and
looked at him closely.
"No: there Is no stain upon his
face. He has not tasted them and he
breathes as quietly as if he was in his
bed at borne."
Then Mrs. Medford caught up hel
boy in her arms. She had not dared
before lest she should clasp despair.
Her embrace awoke him; and still, 1t
seemed. his Thoughts were running on
the golden butterflies.
"Me tied to get 90 some for oor ears,
mamma, they did shine SO brig at; but
they all runned away, and then l
couldn't find Oracle"
"Weren't you frightened, darling Fl
"Not frightened SO much as me
hungry. Then me find booful berries.
See and. before I did eat any, some.
thing laid me down to sleep" ;.
1t was Gods angel, surely, the moth
er thought, who had hushed her little
one to his slumbers Just in time,
just in time
She drew the purple poison-berries
from his fingers.
"They would not be good for Fred
dy," she said, coaxingly. " "Uncle
James shall carry Freddy home, and
then my boy'll get some nice supper.
On the way the little procession met
Grace and Kitty. Little Freddy called
out, joyfully:,
"Me iding Gee, Grscie Me not
mean to run away. Me not bad boy.
Me only t'y to ger gold fly things fol
mamma"
1t was too much for Oracle.
"Little angel p she cried, through J
her tears. "Just see how he takes all
the blame, and tries to excuse himself.
How can I ever, ever say thanks enough
to God, for not taking him just yet to
be an angel in heaven !"
Mrs. Medford had two orthree minds
about what she should say to Grace.
Her first thought had been to send at
once for Mary, and punish the child by
the humiliation of feeling herself nc
longer trusted. Then she thought il
would suffice to "improve the occa
sion by few remarks. But her last,
best decision was, that the lesson Grace
had been taught would only be weak
ened by any words of comment. So,
like a woman wise enough to know
when to be silent-and that gift is moi
to be reckoned lightly-she left the in
cident to do it's own work. She was sat-
is6ed with the result.
The children had happy summer
and Oracle was never again led into the
temptation OF even momentary wish
to get rid Of Freddy.

A Spanish Naval Fight.

We have the following particulars OF
the engagement between the Spanish
Government squadron under Admiral
Lobo, and the feet Of the intranagente
vessels:
Upon the appearance off the harbor OF
the national squadron, the Intransi-
sente 5unta held consultation and de-
cided to fight, although they lad no
hope of achieving a victory. Some OF
the garrison were in favor of surrender.
ing The city; but the majority OF men,
especially the deserters from the Gov
ernment army, were determined upon
resisting to the last. GeL. Contrerss
and several members Of the Junta went
on board the Numancia. All the morn
ing was consumed by the insurgent yes.
sells in taking In coal and provisions.
At moor, everything being in readiness,
The four vessels weighed anchor and
sailed out ct Che hsrbor amid loud
cheers from the populacs ind the insur-
gent troops. 4,
After proceeding o short distance Ad-
miral Lobo's feet-consisting OF the
Tittofia, Almansa, Villa de Madrid,
Carmen, and two paddls'wheel steamers
were met and the engagement iissant'
ly begun.
The fight lasted two hours, when the
intrahsigente feet was defeated and
driven back to Cartdgens, their vessels
being badly damaged. The insurgents
showed great spirit. but handled their
ships badly, the Numancia at first hay
ING 70 bear the brunt OF the battle
alone. The firing generally was at too
long range, but at the Gloss 81 the en-
gagement, while the Vittoria was en-
deavoring to intercept the retreat OF the
insurrectionist frigate Tetuan, broad
sides were closely exchanged between
those two vessels. Gen. Ceballos has
ordered. the people living in the neigh
borhood of Cartaeena to. quit their
houses, as a bombardmehs ~ ses and
land will soon be opened.
The correspondent of the Daily Ne,rS
telegraphed from the vicinity Of Carta.
gena thai The naval action was brought
on by an attempt OF the insurgent fleet
to escape to Oran, in Algeria. add:
tional particulars of the fight show that
the rebel ships failed to support each
other. The Numancia fired wildly.
The Tetuan behaved with the or attest
gsllantry, and was frequently cheered
by the spectators on the shore, among
whom were hundreds Of foreigners.
She narrowly escaped capture, owing to
her boldness in coming to close dSar-
ters. An attempt was made by the
Government feet to cut of her retreat,
but it failed.

Shaving q Pig.

Men of talent often fail from turning
their talents in wrong direction. Chief
Justice Chase, for example, would new
er have made n successful barber. He
lived for while in his youth with his
uncle, Bishop Chase, who prepared him
for college. One morning he told the
budding Salmon to kill and dress pig.
The incipient st tesman was not much
of a butcher, and, when he came to the
delicate operation of scalding the pig,
horror! the hair set. But in his ex-
tremity h, bethought himself of his
uncle's razor, and, in due course of
time had the porker shaved from tip OF
snout to tail-end. The bishop, on his
return, complimented his nephew on
the neatness with which he had per-
formed his task. When, however, the
old gentleman came to shave himself,
his cherished razor was found i'll sad
plight. An investigation followed, and
young Salmon received some very seri-
Ous advice.

A Cool Reception.

In Virginia City, New, according to
the Territorial Enterprise Of that town,
gentleman has placed on each side OF
the gravel walk leading from his front
gate to his door handsome iron fence,
the top rail of which is made of gas
pipe filed with small holes. Before he
thus fenced his walk he was much
troubled by book agents, map peddlers,
and other persistent cattle, but now all
is lovely with him. When he sees a
man enter his gate with books under
his arm, he simply .urns a cock and in
stantly thousand streams of water
dart across the whole length of the walk
from side to side. The book-peddler
retreats to the gate, gazes wistfully up
the walk for time, concludes the man
of the house does not want to see him,
and then travels, wondering what sort
of internal machines people will next
invent for the discouragement of honest
industry. This beautiful and useful In
vention is not patented.

Preserving Milk.

A method for preserving milk is thus
described:
The milk, fresh drawn from the cow,
is placed in cans or bottles, which are
filed as nearly full Of milk as possible
and Immediately corked tightly or her
metically sealed. The cans or bottles
are then placed in bath OF water heat
ed to the same temperature as the milk,
in such a manner as to allow a free cir
culation of water beneath and around,
but not over them. The temperatHreef OF
the water bath is then slowly raised TO
between 160 degrees and ITO degrees
Fahrenheit's thermometer. The water
is kept at this temperature for greater
or less length of time, according to the
period during which it is desired to pre-
serve the milk. One hour will, 1t Is
claimed. preserve the milk four or five
weeks. Five hours heating is enough
for eight months or year. Inc nre ID
then withdrawn and the bath allowed 10
cool slowly, after which the cans ana
bottles are withdrawn and the operation
is completed. ~. .u,
An essential of success in this opera
ton is, that the vessels designed to con.
tain the milk should be perfectly clean
and sweet, and that the milk itself
should be perfectly pure and unadnl:
terated. il the temperature be carried
higher than that named above, the milk
ACQUIRES cooked taste. II the temper
ature be not raised so high, and main
tanned O suitable length Of time, the
milk sours.
