Sunposed Suicide.

The other day a compositor in this
office got hold of part of a page of the
chirography pf NJ. D. Bloss, editor of
the Cincinnati Enquirer. It isn't writ
ing at all, but Bloss seems to kick the
ink bottle at sheet of paper and then
sends the paper down to the compositors
as editorial. This part of a page was
used as the foundation of aplot to delib-
erately destroy human life. A line or
two was written above it, Bloss' page
marked '' ''solid, and it was handed out
to "iour," who had just struck the
office. He claimed to be lightning on

brow, and hauled the manuscript under
his eyes. It was no go. He held the
page further off, close to his nose,
slanting to the right and square before
the window, but he couldn't start 1t,
and he knew in his soul that no other

A Heroine of tle Commune.

The following was related to me yes
terday of a noble woman whose name
should live in history. She, together
with her lover, a young surgeon, had
taken care of the wounded Communists
during the days and nights of their
fierce fighting with the Versailles troops.
Upon the entry of the latter into the
city, when excitement was at its height,
and when every one suspected of COM
plicity with the Commune was shot al
most without a question being asked,
the surgeon was arrested and brought
before the drum-head tribunal, in the
Place du Chatelet. His life trembled
for the moment in the balance, but was
finally saved by the intercession of one
of the Judges present, who was an in
innate friend of the accused. AS the
latter was being led from the room, he
met the woman whom he loved, who
had helped him in his care of the
wounded, and who was now accused of
the same crime as he himself had been.
"Good God, Marie p he exclaimed,
"are !you here too 2" The woman took
the whole scene in at glance, saw the
danger into which she would plunge her
lover should she recognize him, and
drew herself up coldly, saying You
are mistaken, sir .je ne UoGs coaaraoas
pas :" A few moments afterward she
was taken out and shot Is not that q
story worthy of the old guillotine days

The New Bessemer Steamship.

The successful launch of the steamer
Bessemer, constructed for passenger
transportation across the British Chan
mel, is an event in naval architecture of
no little interest. The construction of
the vessel is upon entirely new princi-
piles, and its success may at no distant
date revolutionize the present system of
building passenger vessels. The most
important feature of this vessel, and
that which will interest the general
public, is the mechanical arrangement
to prevent sea-sickness. This is to be
reached in two ways. First, by reduc-
ing the motion of the vessel to a mini
mum, and by reducing what remains by
mechanical means The former is eff
fected by the peculiar build of the ves-
sci, the latter by the swinging saloon
on the Bessemer pivotal system. This
saloon is 20 feet long, 35 feet wide, and
25 feet high, with deck above it. To
prevent seasickness, it is necessary to
keep the floor of the saloon horizontal
the whole time, as IS done with the
compass and pinnacle lights of all YES
sells. The swing of the saloon itself
would be inadequate to this end, and
hydraulic power is introduced to cor
rect the motion of the vessel by swing
ing the saloon in the opposite direc-
ton. This force is not altogether auto
matically applied. It is reduced to the
control of a man who, with spirit
level before him and lever in hand,
directs the machinery. This is but one
feature of this remarkable vessel. Its
engines are of enormous power; it has
double set of side-wheels !; is built OF
two vessels held together by massive
girders its draught of water is very
light and both ends are built alike, tc
avoid the necessity of attempting tc
turn in French harbors. It is hoped
that the Bessemer with all it's weight
and breadth of beam will be able te
make the enormous speed of twenty
miles an hour. The trial trip will mo-
be made for two months yet, for there
is much to be done. The Bessemel
will by that time have to steam from
the North of England to the Thames il
about the toughest time of the year
which will test Mr.. Bessemer's paten
and Mr.. Reeds construction very Sc
verely.

Fashion Notes.

Jet is still used everywhere.
The Josephine waist is to be worn
again.
Double prices are charged on all
fashionable goods.
Silk is rarely worn on the street IN
Paris this fall
Immense long black chains are worn
around the neck.
The polonaise will be worn with many
winter costumes.
To dress warmly and cheaply one
must keep behind the fashion.
Buy thick wooden goods, and cut as
little as possible in making up.
Dead white board is generally pre-
ferred for cards, though delicate tinting
is allowable.
In New York, for the street, the skirt
is of silk, rich and heavy, with rough
camel's hair fabric, pardessus.
For ladies and gentlemen dressing in
mourning, the card is edged with a
band of black, broader or narrower in
proportion to the depth of owner 8
weeds.
For ladies the fashionable card is of
the finest unglazed Bristol board, rath-
er louder than formerly, and tending
to the oblong rather than the square in
shape.
Invitations to weddings are now
usu.Ily issued upon sheet of the
finest, thickest, most highly finished
note-paper about four inches wide and
eight deep, so that when folded exactly
across the middle it fits into square
envelope to correspond.

Life Under Glass.

The author of ''Life Under Glass"
sends to the Boston Transcript letter,
giving some curious results of his ex-
perience in the use of colored glass as a
medium for the transmission of the
suns rays in the treatment of lung dis
ease. The writer of the communication
being himself victim to weak lungs,
gave special attention to the subject
from personal as well as professional
interest. His attention was directed to
the matter by an incident in his own
experience. During the autumn OF 1868
he was at home in Boston on g sick
leave" from the army, and was in the
habit of frequenting the photograph
gallery of friend. The operating room
of the gallery was lighted by large
skyHght of light blue glass, and the
walls were tinted of the same color. He
soon noticed that he invariably felt bet
ter after an hour or two passed in this
gallery, and wac finally convinced that
the beneficial effect was largely due to
the blue light. After the war be began
a series of experiments among his pa.
tients by using blue glass. As the light
from purely blue glass is not entirely
| agreeable to the eye, he alternated the
panes with clear glass. This was ar
| improvement, and he went on with hii
| experiment until he attained the highest
sanitary power in purple or light vio
let color, the red in the staining making
the light pleasant to bear.

A New WAY to Die.

Human ingenuity has been much ex-
erc1sed in devising new ways to live,
but scant attention has been paid to
the discovery of original methods of
death. People have shuf1ed off this
mortal coil in distressingly similar
ways. 1t has been reserved for Miss
Boomershine, of Phillips county, Kan
sas, to crown her sex with fresh glory
by lnventing brand-new, first class way
of travelling to that bourne, etc. Miss
B. had acquired, in her native village in
Georgia, the usual accomplishments of
the bellies of that neighborhood. She
dipped snuff with the utmost dexterity,
and she saved her parents much need
less expense by cultivating a keen ap-
petite for clay. It is said that in three
weeks she ate up small hill which was
in the way of a projected railway, and
thus saved the company the cost of ex-
cavation. Her rivals affirm, however,
that the time spent was four weeks, in
there can be no doubt that the busy
Miss B. was emphaticaliy made of clay.
Eve could not have surpassed her in
that respect. In an unlucky hour the
Boomershines moved into the grasshop-
per lands of Kansas. A distressing
phenomenon followed. The daughter
began to dislike her staple diet before
half of the clay bank opposite the house
was consumed. This would not have
been half SO bad in itself, had she not
developed at the same time an alarm
ing fondness for all green things.
What the grasshoppers had left she de-
voured. One night she swept the corn
field bare. Her angry father sought
her in vain the next morniug. She
came home in the evening, after an all
day lunch on two acres of potato-vines.
When other resources failed, she joined
the family COW in the pasture-lot and
played Nebuchadnezzar with such dex-
terity that the poor thing died three,
days thereafter from lack of food.
From time to time she said she felt as
if she could ''take wings and fly away" I"
A doctor dosed her in vain. She grew
worse rapidly. Her predatory excur-
sions into the neighbors' fields en-
broiled the whole vicinity. When the
grasshoppers began to fly away, the
end came. Miss B. watched them from
the window. Suddenly she rushed
from the house. Her anxious friends
followed just in time to see the hope of
Boomershines play boomerang by flap
ping her arms as if they were wings,
rising ten feet in the air, and falling
back into her tracks dead. A post
n1OFtenI examination revealed the myS-
terry. The clay the girl had consumed
in Kansas was covered with grasshop-
per eggs. These had Matched out in
side. She t'was literally swarning
with grasshoppers." Their influence
had led to her vegetable eating, and
their desire to go with their comrades
had finally caused her death. The dis
covery of this new way to die belongs
to Kansas we are but the humble
agency to give it wider notoriety.-

The Great Salt Lake.

"A Salt Lake City correspondent of the
Ch1cago Inter Ocean says: There
seems to be general impression among
strangers that the city of Salt Lake is
located on the margin of Ehe great Salt
Lake, and the tourist on his arrival here
IS surprised and disappointed to find
that 1t Is not. The popular visiting
place on the lake is what is called Black
ROCK, lying directly west, twenty miles
d1stant from this city, on the old over
lana mall road going toward California.
It is most interesting SPOT to visit and
1t Is very strange that out of the many
VINO travel across the continent, desirous
OF seeing everything of interest, there
are SO few who will take the time and
trouble to see this most wonderful and
beautiful sheet of water. The size of
the lake is about eighty miles from east
to west, and about one hundred miles
from north to south. It is the great
reservoir for all the waters that empty
into the surrounding valleys, without
any known outlet except what the gentle
rays of the summer sun draws up to the
cloudy strata of the heavens. The water
is exceedingly salty, more SO than any
body of water in the world, and it's
buoyancy is fully 100 per cent. more
than that of the ocean. In the crudest
manner the Mormons make O pail of
salt from three pals of water, and the
buoyancy is very perceptible in bath
ing, when the ordinary swimmer finds
he can float as easily and securely as
walking on the ssure and firm-set
earth. Sinking is impossible. The
water in the lake is gradually rising,
and some estimates have put it at ten
inches each year; but no means have
been taken to measure it until about
two months since, when a granite mon
ument was erected at Black Rock, q
short distance from the shore. The
lake as thing of beauty is almost un-
surpassed. The water at times is of
the deepest green; at others, of the
purest blue; and, varying from the
shallow to the deep water, from the
lghtest to the darkest shades, and at
all times like the grand old ocean. The
seagull and the pelican scale just over
head, riding gracefully the waves upon
its smooth or rolling surface"

Chinese Mandarins.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, writing from up the Yang-tse-
Kiang, says "The mandarin in charge
at Tankan was a first-rate fellow. He
came on board to visit the ship, and as
everything was very strange to him he
evinced great interest in all that he saw.
I gave him cigar, and after showing
him how to light it he commenced pull
ing at it, After he had taken five or
six whiffs he handed it to one of his SER
wants, who passed it to the rest of his
six whiffs. They all seemed to enjoy it
exceedingly. When they smoke they
have pipes that hold very small guam
tity of tobacco !; after taking couple
of whiffs the tobacco Is exhausted they
then knock out the ashes and fill up
again. Their tobacco is very mild, and
one could smoke it all day without feel
ing any bad effects. Before he left, the
mandarin very kindly asked us to come
and see him aboard of one OF his gun
boats, SO one evening some of us went.
He was waiting for us, and had the tea
all ready. Whenever you go to see q
Chinaman, whether on business or not,
he alwoys insists on your taking cup
of tea. He also treated us to some
samshur. hauor distilled from rice,
rather pleasant to the bling
sherry-bu1 one has to take great care
or else he will find himself under the
| table. 1,be old fellow had not much to
show us. but he did all in his power to
make our visit a pleasant one. His
men-of-war (?) consisted OF two lunks
with a small gun-about two or three
pounder-on the bow and stern OF eacn.
hThase 0uns are used when boats pass
mo down the river will not stop and pay
the squeeze or show their passes.
The way the mandarins get their money
is by establishing in their several dis
| tricfs stations where everything passing
has to pay q small toll. Some of the
boats coming down the river have te
stop fifty or sixty times"
