The Hangman Calcraft.

The veteran hangman, Calcraft, re-
Gently made a fruitless expedition to
Scotland for the purpose of hanging a
man named Scobbie, who a short time
ago murdered a gamekeeper. Every
preparation was made for the execution,
and Scobbie's fate seemed sealed but
the reprieve followed Calcraft so closely
that they arrived within few hours of
each other. AS it was, however, the only
luggage brought by that ~functionary was
a large carpet-bag, containing a new
rope, a white cap, and some p%inioning
straps. This flying visit of Calcraft to
their town seems to have created quite a
pleasing excitement among the good
people Of Dundee, and if their visitor
had been a royal parsonage or an emil
nent statesman be couldhardly have been
most minute details of his proceedings
and appearance are given by the local
papers. He arrived and took up his
quarters in the prison, which, it seems,
he never left until his departure for Lon
don in the evening. During the day he
might be seen taking an airing in the
grounds. He appeared to be I" rather
epicurean in his tastes" All his food
was taken from the Royal Hotel to the
prison. Age is telling upon him, and
his step is now more measured and his
form less erect than it was a few years
since. A large number of persons as
sembled in the evening to witness the
departure of the veteran for London.
About 6 o'clock the prison gates opened
and Calcraft and the Governor emerged,
and at once took their seats in a cab
which was waiting. Calcraft's large
carpet-bag excited the deepest possible
interest among the vast crowd that be-
sieged the entrancetothe railway station.
Calcraft himself, who seemed unmoved
by this display of affectionate curiosity,
kindly leaned out of the window of {
second-class carriage in order that al
present might have an opportunity o.
inspecting him, and thus, waving his
adieu to Dundee, the hangman passed
out CT sight.

OCEAN TRAFFIC.
Our Great Atlantic Ferry-What it
Brings Us-The Traffic of 1879.

Our Great Atlantic Ferry-What it
Brings Us-The Traffic of 1872.
Great as has been the growth of this
country's domestic prosperity, and rapid
as has been its progress In population,
wealth and internal trade during the
past ten years, its intercourse and COM
merce with foreign countries, and es-
peciallv with Europe, have been even
more remarkable.
Just ~thirty-fve years ago, one bright
morning in April-the 23d, if the record
stands trueAthe plucky little steamer
Sirius (she was but little over four hun
bred tons burden), having succeeded in
padding her way across the "pond" in
the teeth Of stiff gales from the west
ward, dropped her anchor in the North
river, amid tumultuous cheers, the ring
ing of bells, and a magnificent display
of ~vari-colored bunting. She came di-
rect from Cork, and had an eighteen-day
passage, having left the harbor on the
9Th. Some hours later of the same
memorable 23d arrived the Great West
ern, from Bristol. These were the first
vessels that crossed the Atlantic pro-
PEELED wholly by steam, and the dUont-
couriers or pioneers OF the truly forml-
QaDl6 ii bnau tuIlc0 tlIoc-
score strong"-which now furrow and
fret its waters.
In 1910 the Cunard-the first of the
great Atlantic steamship companies to
establish regular communication be-
tween the two countries-went into
operation. In 1861 the number of
lines had extended to eight, and the
number of steamers employed by them
had correspondingly increased to forty
two. Great as was this advance-equal
to two vessels a year for the entire pc
riod-it appears absolutely insignificant
when compared with the stride taken be-
tween 1861 and 1878. During this pc
Rod of II years-a period which may
well be termed the "iron age" of ship
building-we find the number of lines
increased to fourteen, and the number
of vessels actually running to 135, with
upward of 40 more in process of con-
struction.
The following table will illustrate bet
ter than mere words can do the present
numerical strength and capacity of the
ocean feet. The lines stand recorded
in the order of their numerical strength,
and not in the sequence of establishment
by their respective companies:

UNLIKE other Cathartics. DIR. Pierce's

UNLIKE other Cathartics, DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets do not, after their
operation, have a secondary tendency to render
the bowels more c~ostive. This is an important
improvement, as all who have ever taken many
pills or other cathartics for the purpose of
overcoming constipation, know to their sorrow
that the secondary effect of all such medicines
has been "to render a bad matter worse"
These Pellets produce such a secondary tonic
effect upon the bOeoels as to bring about a per-
manent healthy action. Hence their great
value, taken in small doses daily for a length
of time, in hdbitual constipation and in Piles,
attended and produced, as they generally are,
by torpor of the liver and costiveness. Sold
by Druggists at 25 cents a vial. 641

USE PRUssING's CELEBRATED CIDER VINEGAR.
Warranted to keep pickles. Take no other.
The Greot summer Inyieorant.

The human skin is as full of holes as a fine sieve.
Through these millions of orifces a considerable
portion OF the waste matter of the system exudes.
But in warm summer weather, when the flow Of
Precipitation is excessively copious, something be-
sides the exhausted material Of the body is evap-
GRATED. Nutritive elements of the blood, required
for the sustenance and support of the living frame,
pass through the pores, an0 the result is a loss of
strength and vigor. 1t would be dangerous to
check the leakage, for every pore is at once a VEN
tilation and an escape-pipe, and constipation of
the skin is as detrimental to health as c~onstipa-
ton Of the bowels. The wisest course is to rein
force and ~vitalize the languid system with Hostel
ter,s Stomach Bitters, and thus enable it to bear,
without peril or inconvenience, the extraordinary
drain. The debility, lassitude and depression of
spirits so general in hot weather, and which are
too often the precursors of bilious attacks and
painful affections Of the bowels and theAerves,
quickly disappear under the invigorating and reg
ulating operation of this unequaled vegetable
stimulant and Alternative. To the feeble it ia an
article of prime necessity at all seasons, and as
even the robust are apt to wilt and languish under
the devitalizing influence of a fervid temperature,
the Bitters can be conscientiously recommended
as a healthful summer tonic for all.

IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE INvRN-
TIoE-Mr. George Roberts, one Of our
well known citizens, has just perfected
one Of the greatest lsbor-ssving inven'
tons we have been called upon to chron'
icle for . longtime 1t isA portable fold
ing scaFold. It can be used either in re-
pairing or constructing buildings, and is
so safe and inexpensive that 1t must soon
come into general use, as no painter or
builder can afford to be without q set
We will endeaVor to explain the device
and its manner Of use. r.r.
In q piece of hard wood Of about one
inch in thickness and four or'iVe inches
in width, and in length to suit the win
dowS or doors from which the scafold Is
to be thrown, several holes are bored,
about one foot or less apart. To this piece
another OF about the same size Is attach.
ed by passing a bolt through one OF
these holes and q hole corresponding in
size in the second piece. Then the
second piece Is thrown out at an angle
Of about As degrees when third piece
Is attached by bolts 70 the first and sec
ond piece by passing q bolt through the
holes. The three pieces are then in the
shape Of q triangle, but the ends Of the
first and second pieces run up some dis
taDce above tho third piece. Two Of
these triAngles are placed in window or
door, one on each side, with the upright
against the frame. The third piece, which
Is now horizontal, runs in past the frame
and through this bolt is passed which
catches on the inner side Of the frame.
Now a wooden roller, upon one end oil
which q thread is cut, is placed across
from one TO the other, and by means Of
q large wooden nut the triangles arc press.
ed firmly against the frames. This holds
the triangle SO securely that the bolts
which are placed against the inside Of
the frame can be removed and still It Is
secure. Now upon the two horizontal
pieces boards are placed and the scafold
is perfect, complete and secure. II the
scsffold requires to be long these triangles
can be thrown out Of several windows. III
you wish to reach some distance above
the windows, the horizontal piece can be
raised or lowered as is required.
Mr.. Roberts threw q scafold out OF the
third story windows Of the house Of Mr..
A. Pollack, on Main street, which ia one
Of the highest houses in town. This scat
fold was 10 be used for the purpose Of
painting the cornice, which is also very
high and elaborate. By raising the hori-
zontal pieces to the tops Of the windows
the cornice was reached with ease. This
scaffOld, which is still standing, Is very
strong, and would hold ten times the
weight that any scafold i ever required
10 bear. The whole thing Is very light,
and scafEold can be put up in ten or if
Ieen minutes by one or two men, and
when up is perfectly secure.
The scafold erected on Mr. PollAck's
house Is still;up, and the public areinyi,
led to call and see il.
