Poor Women.

There is probably nothing, says the
Nation, not even the sack of stormed
city, which brings out the devilish and
animal parts of some mems nature as
the unchecked control of another human
beings person and feelings does. There
are thousands of poor women in this
city, without friends or hope in this
world, who have to listen every night
to the rawlings and bear the blows and
fortunes of tyrannical beasts, compared
to whom Walworth was harmless, and
decent, and merciful; and yet the
world knews nothing of their sorrows,
unless when, now and then, some un-
lucky blow terminates their misery and
their life together, and thousands OF
others pass their lives in higher stages
of the same hell What is the remedy
for this state of things, except the gen.
eral elevation of human nature, it would
be hard to say. Legal remedies few
people will care to discuss who seriously
consider the condition of a woman whose
youth and health have been passed in
bearing children, and who has to face
life without heart or hope, or training
for any calling by which money may
be made, and whose nearest friend has
turned into one of those fendish enc
mics by whom no male human being il
ever pursued in civilized society.

The Great Diamond Swindler i'm Jail AT
Last


Philip Arnold, of Elizabethtown.
KY, was arrested in Louisville short
time ago. The Courier-Jounal of
that city contains the following account
of Arnold's offense and the arrest The
famous diamond swindle in San Fran
cisco in 1871, with which Philip Arnold
was conspicuously connected, is still
fresh IN the memory of the reader. The
affair was the occasion of numerous
newspaper publications for twelve
months afterward, and the story of the
great "sell " went the complete rounds
of the American press. The story was
in substance to the effect that Arnold,
who moved to the West several years
ago, was employed by number of un-
known capitalists and Adventures to
salt certain piece of ground in the
northei part of New Mexico with rough
diamonds, and then offer the land for
sale as genuine diamond mine. AS it
was related, Arnold went to London.
bought forty thousand dollars worth of
diamonds in the rough, natural state,
returned with them to New Mexico.
and then, according to the programme,
"salted them over the ground. Next
he went to San Francisco, and after
representing his diamond field with
glowing and extravagant accounts of its
immense wealth, soon effected sale of
his interest therein, receiving a sum of
money amounting to nearly 500, 900.
A company was formed in San Fran
cisco and New York to work the mine,
and, soon after operations were COM
menced, it was discovered that the
mine was a sham and the sale an i'm.
mense swindle.
Arnold, after selling out, returned to
Hardin county, his old home, and q
few months later suit was brought
against him in the Hardin County Cir
cult Court by w. NJ. Lent. of San
Francisco, for the recovery of $500, 600,
alleged to have been paid Arnold fol
shares in the diamond mine. In the
fall of 1873 the suit was removed to the
United States Court in this city; but
before trial was had the plaintiffs agreed
to compromise, Arnold paying Lent
S150.000.
After this event the affair Quoted
down and SO remained until SATURDAY
last, when it came to light that the
matter was still in an unsettled condi
ton in California.
About year ago man named l.. L.
Treadwell caused an Indictment to be
found in San Francisco against Arnold
for obtaining $4,000 under false pre-
fences from him in a transaction SINH
lar to that which involved him with w
Nj. Lent.

XOman'S Courage.

Williamsport was yesterday morning
in fever of excitement when it was an
nounced that James Null had the night
before been shot and killed by the wife
of Mr.. Joseph Ardinger, at their resi-
dence few miles north of the town.
The circumstances as near as We can
gather them are as follow: "Mrs.
Ardinger, at about o'clock on Tues
day night, accompanied by several of
her children, went to the spring near
the house for water, her husband being
absent. On her way returning she was
met or followed by Null, who. armed
with knife used insulting language
and demanded admittance to the house.
Mrs. Ardinger succeeded in getting in
the house, shut the door in his face and

door, and whilst attempting to free, or
after he had forced it, Mrs. A., having
in the meantime armed herself with a
revolver, fred two shots. Null left
suddenly and it was not known till the
following morning that the shots had
taken effect. He was then found lying
about 80 yards from the house, dead,
traces of blood following his path from
the door of The house. When found he
still retained the knife In his hand. Null
was disorderly and dangerous charac-
ter, and his sudden taking off is mat
ter of congratulation in the neighbor-
hood. "-HagerstoaOn (Md.) Press.

DR.. Simon, physician of Lorraine,
gives us new cure for boils, namely,
by treating them with campborated al
cohol. AS soon as the elimination
point of boil makes its appearance he
puts little of the liquid in a saucer,
and, dipping the ends of his little fin
gers in it, rubs the infamed surface,
especially the central part, repeating
the operation eight or ten times for
about half minute. He then allows
TIE surface to dry, placing over it a
slight coating Of camphorated olive oil.
He says that four such applications will,
in almost all eases, cause boils to dry
up and disappear the operation to be
performed morning, noon and evening.
The announcement of so simple cure
for such a painful malady will bear
repetition.

THE Bishop of Zululand having toned
up his people so that he considered 1T
safe to leave them awhile, made visit
to England. When the cat is absent,
the mouse will indulge in recreation !;
and while the Bishop was away the
people took occasion to settle some old
scores that had gathered bulk during
his restraining presence. The young
King Uludongo was poisoned at the in
stigation of his uncle, Umdwendwe, by
one of the chief Indunas. The old
Queen dowager thereupon Immediately
called together all the chiefs. and in the
evening, at sunset, killed many OF those
implicated in her sons death, including
the guilty uncle. She then dispatched
thousand warriors to the country of
Umdwendwe, with orders to slay all
the people, including woman and chill
dren, and the thousand warriors slew
1000 Umdwendweans according to or
ders. Whether, when the Bishop goes
to England again, he will take his peo-
people with him or kill them before he
goes, is question now under consid.

The Wonders of a Hens Egg.

The following interesting observa-
tons on the changes that occur from
hour to hour during the incubation of
the hens egg are from Sturm's Refec-
tons
The hen has scarcely sat on her eggs
twelve hours before some hneaments of
the head and body of the chicken APP
pear. The heart may be seen to beat
at the end of the second day; it has at
that time somewhat the form of horse
shoe, but no blood yet appears. At the
end of two days two vessels of blood are
to be distinguished, the pulsation of
which is visible one of these is the left
ventricle, and the other the root of the
great artery. At the fiftieth hour one
auricle of the heart appears, resembling
moose folded down upon itself. The
beating of the heart is first observed in
the auricle, and afterward in the ventri-
Gle. At the end of seventy hours, the
wings are distinguishable and on the
head two bubbles aae seen for the
brain, one for the bill, and two for the
fore and hind part of the head Tow
ard the end of the fourth day, the two
auricles already visible draw nearer to
the heart than before. The liver APP
pears toward the fifth day. At the end
of seven hours more, the lungs and the
stomach become visible and four hours
afterward the liver and intestines and
loins and the upper jaw. At the one
hundred and forty-fourth hour two
ventricles are visible, and two drops of
blood instead of the single one which
was seen before. The seventh day the
brain begins to have some consistency.
At the one hundred and nineteenth
hour of incubation the bill opens and
the flesh appears in the breast. In four
hours more the breast bone is seen. In
six hours after this the ribs appear,
forming from the back, and the bill is
very visible, as well as the gall-bladder.
The bill becomes green at the end OF
two hundred and thirty-six hours and
if the chicken be taken out of its cover.
ing, it evidently moves itself. At the
two hundred and sixty-fourth hour the
eyes appear. AT the two hundred and
eighty-eighth the ribs are perfect. Al
the three hundred and thirty -tirst the
spleen draws near the stomach, and the
lungs to the chest. At the end of three
hundred and ffty-fve hours the bill
frequently opens and shuts and at the
end of the eighteenth day the first or,
of the chicken is heard. 1t afterwart
gets more strength and grows continu
ally, till at length it is enabled to Sc
itself free from its confinement.

DIR. PRIEsTLEy, who died in IVA. is
spoken of as "the father of chemis-
try" The same claim was mace by an
Irish writer for Robert Boyle, who died
in 1851, aud whom the biographer de-
clared to have been "the father OF
chemistry and the brother of the Earl
of Cork" Both Boyle and Priestley
were great chemists, and made impor-
tant discoveries; but is impossible to
determine at what period chemistry be-
came so far developed as to deserve the
name of science. 1t is supposed to
have originated in ancient Egypt more
than thousand years before Christ.

The Dangers of Earnings.

An inquest held at Liverpool the
other day on the body of little girl
about eight years, the daughter of
sailor, conveys a lesson with regard to
earrings, which is, at all events, worth
the attention of woman. The unfortu-
nate child, whose death formed the
subject of inquiry, about three weeks
ago underwent the operation of having
her ears pierced with stocking-needle.
After the ears were pierced, two ear
rings belonging to her mother were put
in them. A few days later blister
came behind one ear then the jaws be-
gan to swell ; worse symptoms epsued,
ana on Saturday last the child dleu.
The medical evidence was to the effect
that death had resulted from exhaus-
ton consequent upon the intense In
hammation caused by the piercing of
the ears, and the jury rendered ver-
dict accordingly. OF course, if women
choose to have their ears pierced, it
would be impcrtinence on the part OF
man to demonstrate against the self-in-
hicted torture; but there can be no
harm in suggesting that children might
be allowed to reach years of discretion
before they are called upon to follow
the example of their elders and betters
in this respect. 1t is, however, only
fair on woman to admit that she did not
invent the practice of ear-piercing. Ac-
cording to the Mohammedans, Abraham
began it. In one of Sarah's jealous
fits respecting Hagar, she said that she
would not rest until she had dipped her
hands in Hagar's blood. In order to
quiet Sarah and enable her to redeem
her promise without further upsetting
her household, Abraham pierced Hagar's
ears and drew rings through them.
From that time earrings became the
| fashion.

French Coffee.

French coffee is much talked of, and
the general supposition is that the Pc
culiar French quality is in some filter
ing process, or in the way the element
is extracted from the berry. But any
intelligent housewife knows how to ex-
tract the element from the berry with
out any peculiar apparatus. Unless
she sews it up as the French do, she
will have nothing that will appear like
French coffee. The French make their
coffee so strong that one-part of liquor
requires the addition of two parts to re-
duce it to the proper strength. This
addition is made with hot milk. This
large proportion of hot milk, in the
place of so much warm water, gives the
coffee richness like unto that made by
the addition of cream in the ordinary
way. By this means hotels, and any
body that will go the expense of buying
good milk, can have good coffee without
cream. Gazette.

Where the ground-nut trails its vine;
Where the wood-grape's clusters shine;

| A. But then "why does not the new ex-

each year nearer to the ground?" Answer:
1t does, by so much as the branch increases
in diameter, and also when long and hori-
zontal the lower limbs are weighed down.
In consequence of this I have had to lop
some white pine trees, which overhang the
road. and which, as they increased in weight
and leverage with the increase in length,
began to get in the way of teams. In En-
glish park trees, where the lower limbs are
carefully preserved, it is very common for
them to lie on the ground. Butat the trunk
they will be found to be five or six feet from
the ground; when young, of course, they
were as high as that throughout, but have
declined by their weight as they increased
in length.
