THE MERGED HOMICIDE.

Harry Granice has been committed
by the Justice of the Peace of MERGED,
California, for the murder of Madden.
the editor of the MERGED Tribune. All
Of our dispatches and nearly the entire
press of California, in mentioning the
affair, designate him as the murderer
of Madden. Our Information concern
ing the killing and the cause was OBJ
tanned from dispatches, evidently coin-
piled by some person bitterly preju-
diced against Grsnice, and, from the
facts so obtained, We can not but ac-
knowledge that we eve heard of a
homicide attended with more mitigat-
ing circumstances than this. and We do
not believe that any unprejudiced jury
will aver render a verdict against him
of any other than the lowest degree OF
the crime possible under the statutes.

THE PACIFIC NAIL STEAMSHIP
INVESTIGATION.

Our dispatches from Washington to-
day give an interesting report Of the
condition of affairs in the investiga-
ton in Congress of the charges pre-
ferred against the Pacific Mail Steain-
ship Company for bribery. The mat
ter was referred 10 the Committee OF
WAYS and Means, which has been COM
PEELED temporarily to suspend their
work on account of the illness of Rich
ard b. Irwin, the principal witness,
who was arrested in New York on the
18th instant, by the Sergeant-at-Arms
of the House. Twins illness is be-
lieved to be the result of the struggle
i'll his mind relative 10 the course he
will pursue in this matter. If he re
lates the whole truth, astounding dis
closures will doubtless be made, which
will lay bare the III = atrocious series
of briberies that have Yer disgrared
our Nations Capital, even in these
days of official venality and corrup-
ton. Ii, on the other hand. he refuses
to testify, he will be unable to justify
: himself against the charges against
him; and it is TO be hoped that for this,
if Tor no other reason, lie WILDE in
duced to make a clean breast of it,
that the people may know who are the
guilty parties, and their eyes be open
al to the manner in which these vi-
gantic swindles are perpetrated.

The California WOOd-Rat.

PRoF. SILLIMiN publishes, in the
imeIIcdh JoufudI If Science and Art, an
interesting extract from IA private letter
to himself on the habits of the California
woodrat which seem to he very thievish
habits indeed. The writer was partial
owner of some property on the Oregon
coast, containing Il saw-mill which had
never been in operation. There was Il
dwelling house for the hands, in which,
on work being discontinued, were stored
Il quantity of stuff, tools, packing for the
engine, six or seven kegs of large spikes;
in the closets, knives, forks, spoons, etc.
\ large cooking stove was left in one of
the rooms
This house." he says, twas left I'M
inhabited for two years, and being ut
some distance from the little settlement it
was frequently broken into by tramps
who sought shelter for the night.
When ] entered this house ! was aston
ished TO see an immense rats nest on the
empty stove On examining this nest,
which was about five feet in height, and
occupied the whole top of the stove "a
large range), ] found the outside to be
composed entirely of spikes, all laid with
symmetry So as to present the points of
the nails outward. In the center of this
mass was the nest, composed of finely
divided fibers of the hemp packing
Win sIihtS- VIC ipuHNi thS
following: About three dozen knives,
forks and spoons, all the butcher hives,
three in number, IA large carving knife,
fork and steel; several large plugs of
t0bdcc0. The outside casing of Il silver
watch was disposed of in one part of
the pile, the glass of the same watch in
another, and the works in still another;
an old purse containing some silver,
matches and tobacco; nearly all the
small tools from the tool closets, among
them several large augers. Altogether,
it was a very curious mixture of different
articles, all of which must have been
transported some distance, as they were
originally stored in different parts of the
house.
The ingenuity and skill displayed in
the construction of this nest, and the
curious taste for articles of iron, many
of them heavy, for component parts,
struck me with surprise. The articles of
value were, | think, stolen from the men
who had broken into the house for tempo
rary lodging. l have preserved a sketch
of this irOn-cldd nest, which l think
unique in natural history"

Care of Team Horses.

The Massachusetts Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals presents
the following concise rules for the care
of horses:
Potatoes or carrots may be given once
or twice Il week to good advantage.
See that your horse is kept clean,
warm and comfortable, with plenty of
bedding.
A piece of rock salt should always be
left in the manager
See that the harness is kept soft and
Clean particularly the inside of the col
lar, which ought always to be smooth. as
the perspiration, when dry, causes irr-
tation, and is liable to produce gals on
the shoulder.
The collar should fit closely, with
space enough at the bottom to admit Il
mans hand. If too large it has the bad
effect of drawing the shoulders together.
On no consideration should team or
any work horse be compelled to wear II
martingalc, rs it draws the head down,
and prevents him from getting into an
easy and natural position.
The check-rein may be used, but only
tight enough to keep the head in ii natu-
raj position, and it should never be
wound around the names.
See that the names are buckled tight
enough at the top to bring the draftiron
near the center Oh the cclllT- II 100 low,
it not only intcrfcres with the action of
the shoulder, but gives the collar an I'M
even bearing.
Caution should be taken that the girth
is not bucklcd too tight, particularly on
string teams, for when the traces are
Strengthened it has the tendency to draw
the girth against the belly, and distress
the horse.
See that the horse is kept well shod,
with good stiff shoe, always calked at
toe and heel on hind feet, as it is there
where all the propelling power comes
from when heavily loaded.
Keep the feet good and strong by not
allowing them to be cut away too much
by the blacksmith.
The best of judgment should be used
in loading, taking into consideration the
condition of the street and the distance
to he Travelled
Never overload, for by SO doing YOU
only distress, strain and discourage YOUR
horse, and do him more injury than you
can possibly gain by carrying the extra
load.
When your load is hard to pull, stop

A Living AutOmatOn.

Galigndni's Messenger describes a pa
tient in one of the Paris hospitals whose
case is remarkable in its manifestations
and an interesting study to Psychologists {:
g His profession was that of Il singer ut
the cafes chdntdnts. During the war of
1S7O-71 he was hit over the left ear by II
musket bullet, which carried off about
two and half inches of the parietal
bone, and laid bare the brain on the lett
side. This led to temporary paralysis
of the members on the opposite side, as
is always the case; but he was eventually
cured of this, while the tremendous
wound on the skull began to heal, so that
after time he could resume his profess
slonal duties at the cafes to the satisfac-
ton of the public. Suddenly, however,
he was seized with nervous symptoms,
lasting from twenty-four to forty-eight
hours, and of such an extraordinary ma
ture that it was considered safe to take
him to the hospital. His malady is
easier to illustrate by examples than to
define. When he is in his fit he has no
sensitiveness of his own, and will bear
physical pain without being aware of it,
but his will may be influenced by con-
tact with exterior objects. Set him on
his feet and as soon as they touch the
ground they awaken in him the desire of
walking; he then marches straight on
quite steadily, with fixed eyes, without
saying word or knowing what is
going on about him. If he meets with an
obstacle on his way he will touch it and
try to make out by feeling what it is, and
then attempt to get out of its way. If
several persons join hands and form Il ring
around him he will try to find an opening
by repeatedly crossing over from one
side to the other, and this without be
traying the slightest consciousness or
nnt nj into hi t..,,
this will instantly awaken in him de
sire of writing; he will tumble about for
ink and paper, and if these be placed be-
fore him he will write very sensible
business letter, but when the fit is over
he will recOllect nothing at all about it.
Give him some cigarette paper, and he
will instantly take out his tobacco-bag
roll Il cigarette very cleverly, and light
it with match from his own box. Put
them out one after another, he will try
from first to last to get a light, and put
up in the end with his ill-success. But
ignite Il match yourself and give it to
him, he will not use it, and let ii burn
between his fingers. Fill his tobacco
bag with anything, no matter what
shavings, cotton, lint, hay, ctc.-he will
roll his cigarette just the same, light and
smoke it without perceiving the hoax.
But, better still, put pair of gloves into
MS ldle anu ne W III put lllcHl on at once,
this, reminding him of his profession,
will make him look for his music A roll
of paper is then given to him, upon which
he assumes the attitude of Il singer be
fore the public, and MARBLES some piece
of his repertory. If you place yourself
before him he will feel about on your
person, and, meeting with your watch,
he will transfer it from your pocket to
his own; but, on the other hand, he will
patience whatever, to take it back
again.
