spoils of his fearful crime, upward of
twenty years after it had been commit

In July 1852, the police of Amster-
dam saw on the floor of the house on
Harlem street, where Catherine Spell
ing lived with her daughter Dorothy,
a notice to the effect that the two wo-
men had gone to the country. This
notice aroused no suspicious, but
when the Old lady and her daughter did
not return after the lapse of six weeks
the police entered it, A fearful sight
met their eyes. The widow and her
daughter, with their throats cut, from
ear to ear, were lying on the floor in
an advanced state of decomposition,
while the bureaus were rifed of their
valuables.
1t was ascertained that the murder
er had carried off diamonds, money
and bonds, amounting to nearly one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars

AmphiblOus Wonders in CHI
cagO.

cdSO.
The Chicago Times publishes
this morning a long and cir
cumstantlal statement of an
extraordinary experiment al
legged to have been made by
an ex.surgeon of the Prusslan
army, named Louis Schultz,
now residing in ihis city, by
which he has demonstrated
the ability not only of his dog,
but OF his infant son, to live
and move under water with as
little apparent inconvenience
as is experienced by amphibia.
The writer asserts that he
has himself seen the boy, now
scarcely six months old, enter
a large bath tub fitted up es-
peciaIly for the purpose, and
diving TO the bottom, remain
there for several minutes, pick
ing up bits OF candy thrown
into the water by the father.
The dog appears, from the
account given, to be scarcely
the equal of the child in his
amphibious requirements, not
wiihstanding the fact that
Schultz, With commendable
consideration, began his expe-
riments with the canine. This
however, may have been due
to The accidental priority OF
the birth of The latter. The
mother Of the boy, 1t is stated
is not at all pleased with the
experiment upon her offspring,
and expressed desire that the
authorities should put stop to
it.

DiO Lewis Advice to a Cold
Footed Lady,

Madame, allow me to pre-
scribe for you. | have had a
long experience in the man
agement Of delicate women,
and belive | can give you some
important advice. For the
present | prescribe only for
your ieet.
1st. Procure a quantity Of
WOODEN slocklngs-not such as
you buy at the stores under the
name of lambs wool, that you
can read a paper through, bnt
the kind that your Aunt Jeru-
sha IN he country knlts for
you, thick as a board, that will
keep your feet dry and warm
in spite of wind and weather.
I'd. If you want to he really
thorough, change them every
morning, hanging the fresh
ones by The fire during the
night.
Sd procure thick calf. skin
boots, double uppers and triple
soles, and wear them from the
first OF October till The first of
May Make frequent applica
tions of some go,d oil black
ing.
4lh. Avoid rubbers altogeth-
er, except pair Of large rub
ber boots, which may be worn
for a little time through snow
drifts or fl,od of water.
9Th. Hold the bottoms of
your feet in cold water half an
inch deep, just before going to
bed, two nr three minutes. and
then rub them hard with rongh
towels and your naked han ls.
9th. Now, madame, go ont
frequently in all weathers, and
believe me, not only will your
feet ENJOY good circulation,
but as a consequence of the
good circulation in the lower
extremities, your head will be
relieved OF all its fullness and
your heart of its .palpitations.
Your complexion will be great
ly improved and your health
made better In every respect.
