The recent attempt to assassinate Don
Carlos shows that Spain has not yet out
grown the idea rooted among its people
that assination is justiiable as means TO
get rid of a political opponent Such a
harbarism deserves the severest reproba-
tion of the whole civilized world.

DECEaBER.

SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS will be found
to possess those qualities necessary to the total
eradication of all bilious attacks, prompt to
start the secretions of the liver, and give q
healthy tone to the entire system. Indeed, 1t is
no ordinary discovery in medical science TO have
invented a remedy for these stubborn com
plants, which develop all the results produced
BY heretofore free use of calomel, mineral
justly dreaded by mankind, and acknowledged
10 be destructive IN the extreme TO the human
system That the properties Of certain vegsta
blex comprise all the virtues OF calomel without
its injurious tendencies, Is now an admitted
fact, rendered indisputable by scientific re-
searches; and those who use the Mandrake Pills
will be fully satisfied that the best medicines
are those provided by nature in the common
herbs and roots OF the fields.
These Pills open the bowels and correct al
bilious arrangements without salvation or any
of the injurious effects of calOmei or other poi
sons. The secretion of bile is promoted by these
Pills, viii be seen by the altered color of the
stools. and disappearing of the sallOw complex
ion and cleansing OF the tongue.
Ample directions for use accompany each box
of Pills.
Prepared only by j. H. Sehenck & Son, at

gists and dealers. Price Is cents per box.

BLOWING sEPOTs FROM A CAN
MONS MOUTH.

Prof. Seelye, In a recent lecture, gives a
different explanation of this famous mode
ofTunishment from that which is often
entertained. He says: "It is well for US
to understand, when we see the papers, as
they occasionally do, taking up the subject
of English barbarity, what is the meaning
of this 'barbarity.' / have found persons
who supposed the punishment Of firing
Sepoys from a lannon's mouth meant that
SepOys were actually put inside the cannon
and fired out. In reality the victim was
put about six feet in font Of the cannon,
which was heavily loaded with powder
alone; and l was told that no person IN
familiar with artillery would have any
idea of the minuteness Of the fragments
into which the body was scattered. This
was great punishment, not on account Of
the death, or of the manner Of death, but
beeause the body was scattered and denied
the rites of burial. That is terrible thing
for HindoO, and the English report and
believe that rebellion was stopped there
just by the sturdy statement Of an English
officer who said that if there were any
signs of mutiny he would subject all mu-
timers to this punishment, and it cannot
be doubted that this punishment was the
most salutary one, so far as affected the
success Of England"

Baltimore Sun.

Maggie Dehl, apparently twenty-five
years old, was arrested for throwing vitriOl
on Felix Kennedy, conductor Of street
car. The girl, who is fine-looking young
woman, says she had been engaged 10 be
married to Kennedy, and he had broken
his promise. Kennedy says that Miss Dehl
got in the car and took seat He had been
told she intended to injure him, and was
on his guard. She drew vial Of vitriol
from her pocket and threw the contents on
him. Raising his hands, he saved his eyes,
bus his face and neck were burned His
cysrcOat was destroyed. He put her off the
car, when she was taken into custody by
Special Officer Cook, who took her to
the Middle District station. At the station
it was discovered that the young woman al
so had received injury from the destructive
acid which she had scattered about so reck-
lessly. Some Of it had got into her left
eye. Tee physician who was called in to
attend her, thought at first that the sight
would be destroyed, but last night had
hopes of saving the organ.

THE COST OF LIVING NOW AND
BEFORE THE WAR.
Philadelphia Ledger

A comparison of the prices Of the staples
of the country in wholesale markets in No
vembeT, 1859, 1864, and 1874, shows that
prices are nearly as low, and IN some cases
lower, now than before the war, if they are
reduced to the gold standard. Wheat is
selling at about the same prices in currency
as il sold for in gold in 1859. Corn is SELL
ing for half what it did in 1864 (the year
when gold touched 2S5), and about the
same price, gold values, as it did in 1859.
Cotton is worth little more than in 1853,
but is about one-nimth the price reached in
1864. Provisions, sugar, and coffee show a
heavy decline, but the present currency
quotations are above the GOLD prices
of 1859. Dry goods show a great
decline since 1864, prints being be-
low the prices Of 1859. Beef was
rather higher in the local market be-
fore the war than to-day. Sales were re-
ported in the Ledger in November, 1858,
for Z to cents per pound. The cores
bonding cattle report published this year
quotes sales at from 4 to u cents. But
before these articles reach the consumers
items Of cost are added to them, which
have not been reduced in proportion to the
reduction in prime cost. The tax rate of

valuation of property; to-day it is $3.50 on
a cash valuation. A house which was
worth $500 in 1859 could not be bought
for twice that amount now, and rents IRE
from two to three times as high now rs be-
fore the war. While it is true, therefore,
that what are often called the
''necessaries of life" have been re-
duced in price at wholesale TO near
ly the prices which ruled in
1859, it is not to be inferred that the cost Of
living to working men has been correspond
ingly reduced. Provisions consume about
One-tbird to one-half working mems in
comes. The other half is expended for
rent, clothing, fuel, lights, and other ex-
penditures Of all kinds, and in many of
these there has been 10 reduction from
ante-war prices. But with a reduction in the
prime cost of provisions, there will I'M
doubtedly come in time a reduction 10 the
value of things for which corn, beef, wheat,
etc, are exchanged; in other words, a re-
duction in all the many things which to-
gether make up the real cost of living.

HOW TO CONDUCT A CouRr.aIr.

Don't be too sudden about it. Many a
girl has said ssnon when she, meant "yes,
simply because her lover didn't choose the
right time and pop the question gently.
Take a dark night for it. Have the
blinds closed, the curtains down, and the
lamp turned almost ont. Sit near enough
to her so that you can hook your little fin
ger into hers. Wait until conversation be-
gins to flag, and then quietly remark:
sESusie, l want to ask you something"
She will fidget around a little, reply
''yes," and after pause you can add:
Susie, my actions must have shown
that is you must have-I mean you must
be aware tha.-that"-
Pause here for a while, but keep your
fingers firmly locked. She may cough and
try 30 turn the subject of by asking you
how you liked the circus, but she only
does it to encourage you. After about ten
minutes you can continue:
81 was thinking, as came up the path
tonight, that before went away | would
ask yOu-that is, | would breach the sub
iect nearest MY mean l would know
N.Y.
Stop again and give her hand a gentle
squeeze. She may give yank 10 get it
away or she may not. In either case it
argues well for you. Wait about five min
utes and then 60 on:
@The past year has been very happy
one to me, but / hope that future years
will still be happier. However, that de-
ponds entirely on you. | am here tonight
to know-that is to ask you'll mean am
here tonight to hear from your own lips
the one SWEET
Wait again. II isn't best to be too rash
about such things. Give her plenty of
time to recover her cOmpOsure, and then
put your hand on your heart and continue;
ayes, l thought, as was coming through
the gate tonight, how happy had been;
and | said to myself that if l only knew
you would consent to be my-that is, L
said if only knew-if was only certain
that my heart had not deceived me, and
you were ready to share
Hold on; there's no hurry about it.
Give the wind a chance to sob and moan
around the gables. This will make her
lonesome and call up all the love in her
heart. When she begins to cough, and
grow restless, you can 60 on:
"Before l met you this world was a
desert to me. didn't take any pleasure
In going blackberTying and stealing rare
ripe peaches, and it didn't matter whether
the sun shone Or not. But what a change
in one short year! 1t is for you to say
whes her my future shall be a prairie of
happiness, or a summer falloW of Canadian
thistles. Speak, dearest Susie, and say
and say that-that"-
Give her five minutes more by the clock,
and then add:
THAT you will be-that is, that you will
Il mean that you WILDE mine!"
Size will heave a sigh, look up at the
clock aud over the stove, and then as she
slides her head over your vest pocket she
will whisper:
" You are just right will"

ARIsTOCRATIC KLEPTOMANIACs
IN BROORLYN.
NeW York Sun. Dee. 3.


Two women, dressed deliberately in silk
and velvet, who were examining goods in
Loeser's store, Brooklyn, a few days ago,
excited suspicion and were arrested. In
the police station $50 worth of trinkets,
which had been stolen from the store, was
taken from theirpersons. The police care
fully concealed their names, and they were
sent to Raymond street Jail, where they
await examination, being unable to obtain
bail.
Yesterday an elegantly dressed woman
examined articles in the same store. The
clerk soon began to miss the things be
was showing her, and she was arrested.
In her pocket were three pairs of bracelets
and two wallets, which were identified as
Mr.. Losers. She said that her name is
Emma Brown, but before Justice Walsh
said it is Elizabeth Jones. She refused to
tell where she lives. With an Out0urst Of
grief she admitted the theft, saving, "The
devil must have hurried me to do it; it is
the first time | ever did such thing, and
il will be the last" She added that she
had a husband and several children, and
was a resident of Brooklyn. She was

A Paris journal describes a new rife, Of
novel construction, recently invented in
that city. According to this account, the
gun presents nothing remarkable exter-
iOrly, but the lock is so arranged that the
breech is opened by cooking the piece, and,
the charge being introduced, the breech is
closed, and the gun fred by touching the
trigger. The tribe action OF cooking,
loading, and firing, is thus effected stimuli
taneously, so that a man with but slight
experience can fire twenty rounds a min
ute. The cartridges are stored in an iron
tube, which is placed parelel with the bar
rel, and contains thirty balls, so that the
piece may be fired as many times almost
without any interval, and without remOv-
ing the stock from the shoulder, there be-
ing nothing 10 be done but to cock and
pull the trigger.
