4 DISSATISFIED MILLIONAIRE


We stated yesterday, on authority OF
street rumor, that an uncle of Michael
Hogan, OF West Troy, died recently in
Pennsylvania, leaving coal lands val
ued st five million dollars, to a portion
of which Aichael is heir. The TumOT
was correct. Forty years ago Michael
Hogan, then twenty-five years OF age,
and an uncle, the only survivors of a
once numerous family, came to this
country and adopted it as their own.
Michael, a hard-working, industrious
young man, finally took up his resi-
deDce in West Troy. The uncle went
to Pottsville, Pennsylvania, or that vi
cinity, and after labOriDg number of
years purchased, with his earnings, 3
large tract of land. Michael also saved
money, and in the course of time laid
by enough to start himself in the gro
cery business, in which, it can be truth
fully said, be has prOspered. The ven
ture Of his uncle turned out to be q most
profitable one. The lands purchased by
him we're found to contain an abund-
ance OF coal, and by judicious
management he greatly increased his
earthly store until at the time of his
death, which occurred a few weeks ago,
he was worth about five million dollars.
Last week Michael received information
from an attorney that his uncle, with
whom he had not communicated for
sixteen years, had died, and that he was
bis only surviving heir. Michael was
not ct ell elated by this announcement,
and appeared rather sorry, in fact, that
such good fortune had come TO bin.
He was getting old, he said, and Eould
not want SO much money, besides he
had enough for himself, wife aud daugh-
ter, and the possession Of the immense
amount mentioned above would only
bring trouble and disgrace upon his
family eventually, ss young people now
a days did not know how to spend
money. AS we have stated, Michael is
q sober, industrious man, and is every
way worthy of his fortune, which he
intends to claim next week. If he is
sorry about this little matter he can turn
it over to u and we'll cheerfully bear
the burden for him.-ZTOy IN "

all this turmoil, in which bloodshed was
imminent, the military posse behaved
with great discretion. When WiltZ, the

for troops TO prevent blOodshed, they

Tampering With the Mails.

The Postmaster General has addressed
the following letter to the proprietors of
the Maine Standard in answer to their
complaint that the paper hal been
tempered with in the mails:
&" GENTLEMEN: Your favor of the
2Sth inst. is at hand and noted. You
stated that the Maine Standard adj
dressed to regular subscribers had been
opened in Post offices, and Republican
campaign documents folded inside and
delivered to subscribers, and ask if such
conduct is to be tolerated by this Depart
ment In reply L have to say that such
action is in direct violation of the rules
of the Department, of decency, and of
the proprieties of official position. II
you will present to this Department the
proof that any officer or employee has
been guilty of the oflense charged, he
shall at once be dismissed the service,
and i hereby request you to do so in
order that immediate action may be tax
en-. Very respectfully yours,

The Whisky Frauds-.-HOw They were
Committed.

A Washington dispatch says: II. T.
Yaryan, Chief of the Division of Rev
enue Agents, has submitted TO the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue an elabo-
rate report upon the manner i'll which
the whisky frauds lately exposed were
perpetrated upon the government, and
the checks already established to prevent
n recurrence of such frauds. The re-
port is very interesting, but too lengthy
for publication in full. Mr.. Yaryan de-
scribes two modes in which the frauds
were perpetrated, both, of course, by
collision OF United States officers, and
says: "In one of the two ways above
described all the frauds recently discov-
cred have been committed, and the gov
trn lent has lost three million dollars in
the last two years. The frauds have
mainly been carried on at four places,
namely, st. Louis, Milwaukee, Chicago
and Evansville, and all ut distilleries pro-
ducing what is called highwines. This
class OF spirits does not require aging,
as does the sour. mash whisky of Ken
lucky. Ii consequently does not excite
suspicion to find highwines on the mar
ket to-day that were produced yesterday.
This rapid transfer from the distillery to
the market affords special facilities for
the reuse of stamps, which ia scarcely
possible with the whiskies of Kentucky,
which require years warehousing be-
fore being ready for the market" The
report concludes as follows: Gas an
indication of the extent of the frauds
above described, have the honor to re-
port that documentary evidence is in pos
session of your office, which has war.
ranted the seizure of twenty-three dis
tilleries and thirty-six rectifying houses,
and implicated over fifty United States
CANCERS and Storekeepers. This evi.
dence also shows the issue between De
cember l, 1874, and May l, 1876, OF
fraudulent spirits by the duplication OF
5000 packages, containing probably
$4,000 proof gallons, and by the aid Of
false gauging to the additional amount
of 100000 proof gallons. This, o.
course, is but small portion of tn,
fraud actually committed, but i'll itsel
indicates the loss of tax by the govern
ment in four months TO an amount no
less than 800, 000."

Cured BY Faith.

The Rev. Mr.. Plat, in the DeKalb
Avenue Methodist Church, New York,
last Sunday week, told to crowded con
gregation the story of his miraculous re-
covery from lameness of twenty-five
years duration, through the religious
efforts of pious lady. He said
was sitting in my cottage-door Mt
Ocean Grovel, when to ladies appeared,
one introducing herself as Miss Nose
man, and saying, 81 have come because
the Lord has sent me to tell you that
you can be cured of your lameness. l
said, 81 am glad come in. l don't
doubt the Lords ability, but His will
ingness" We had long argument, she
advancing quotations of Scripture, and l
skeptical, saying, 81 must have an init
nation" When Miss Moseman related
n most wonderful faith-cure OF
woman in Syracuse, 1 thought, is not the
fact of this strange woman coming to
me an intimation from God ! and l said
so. "Let us pray" she said, not wait
ing for my words to cool. Kneellng
down she laid her two hands lightly or
my knees, and prayed. felt nothing.
She rose and began talking. In few
minutes | experienced singular sensa-
ton. 1t began midway between my
ankle and knee, encircling, condensing
and toning up, lasting five. minutes.
She said, "You are cured. The next
day / was getting my family ready to
come back, and walked a good deal,
swinging my cane in my hand, but no
using it. / mad never preached without
sitting in my high chair. How could /
stand, even though | could walki l
went to the Bible and opened it, and the
first thing / saw was, "Having done all,
to stand :" and / did. The next Tues
day / was to preach at Sea Cliff, and there
l stood and told my story. L went to
Merrick, and there, having no Bible to
turn to, / said, "Now, Lord, show me
Thy will ;" and a voice Eaid, Hadn't
you better throw away that CANE alto
gether? 1t looks like distrust. And
in my study the same voice told me to
Law aside that cane Still / took the cane
back to Merrick, but shouldered it with
my bag, and marched the whole dis
lance in kingly way, l tell you. The
pain now, as a rule, has passed away, but
/ wouldn't walk block out of curiosity.
When walk upstairs | say, Lord, put
power in my legs. That's the way l
live. If L would fail in that faith to-
night, in a week I'd be us bad as ever.

Useful Facts.

HAIR Recommendations leaves,
good handful boiling water, one pint.
Digest for an hour simmer ten minutes
and then strain. This will strengthen
the hair and prevent it falling off.
SHAMPOO LIoUID.-Carbonate OF am
monia, or carbonate OF potash, OF ;
water, l pint. Dissolve and add to the
solution tincture of cantharides, 5 fluid
ounces; rectifed spirits, ! pint; good
rum, quarts. Rub the hair well with
this till lather is formed, and then wash
the head with cold water.
IRON CEMENT WHICH Is UNAFFECTED
BY RED HEAT-Four parts iron filings,
two parts clay, one part fragment of n
Hessian crucible reduce to the size OF
rape seed and mix together, working the
whole into a stiff paste with saturated
solution of salt. A piece of friedrich
can be used instead of the Hessian
crucible.
Beds renovate old feather beds
when no steam apparatus is convenient,
put them out doors during heavy rain.
Let them dry in the sun, beating them
occasionally with q stick to loosen the
feathers. They should be turned over
several times, and then tin ,roughly dried.
A paste of soap and starch will take
stains out of bed-ticking. Spread it
over the spots. When dry, scrape off
and wash with damp sponge.
WASHING MADE EAsY.-The German
washerwomen use mixture of 2 or tur-
pentine and OF spirits of ammonia, well
mixed together. This is put into q
bucket of warm water, in which Id of
soap has been dissolved. The clothes
are immersed for "a hours and then
washed. BY this method the cleansing
is said to be greatly quickened, and two
or three rubb:ngs in cold water will re-
move the turpentine smell.
Your Own MAsoN.-Small holes in
white walls can be easily repaired with
out sending for the mason. Equal parts
of plaster of Paris and white sand-such
as is used i'll most families for securing
purposes-mixed with water to paste,
applied Immediately and smoothed with
knife or fiat piece of wood will make
the broken place as good as new. AS
the mixture hardens very quickly, it is
best to prepare but small quantity at a
time.
DESTRUCTION OF NIGHT-FLYING IN
sECTs. Millions of insects injurious to
trees may be destroyed by keepingupnum-
bers of small fires from twilight to mid
night and SUR ounding them with circles
of 20 to 30 tarred stakes, not more than
six inches apart. Although few insects
will be found burned to death, since they
soon seem to acquire dread of the fire,
many will be caught in the tar while
moving about in the warmed stratum of
air or to and from the fire.
To ExTINGUIsH KEROSENE FLAMES
One of the most ready means is to throw
Il cloth of some kind over the flames and
thus stifle them but as the cloth is not
always convenient to the kitchen, where
such accidents are most likely to occur,
some one recommends flour as substi-
tute, which, it is said, promptly extin-
cuisines the flames. 1t rapidly absorbs
the fluid, deadens the flames, an can be
readily gathered up and thrown out of
doors when the fire is extinguished.

A COLORADO HAIL.STORM.

Hail-stones Three Inches i'm Diameter-A
Railroad Train Bombarded with Chunks
of Ice.
The Denver NeWs of recent date
says An eyewitness, and passenger
ON the east-bound train, describes the
terrific hailstorm which occurred at
Potter Station, on the Union Pacific rail
road, Friday night. The train was just
pulling out from the station when the
storm commenced, and in ten seconds
there was such fury of hail and wind
that the engineer deemed it best to stop
the locomotive. The hailstones were
simply great chunks of ice, many of
them three and four inches in diameter,
and of all shapes--squares, cones, cubes,
etc.
The first stone that struck the train
broke window, and the flying glass
severely injured lady on the nose,
making a deep cut. Five minutes after
ward there was not whole light of glass
on the couth side of the train the whole
length of it. The windows in the Pull
man cars were of French plate, three
eighths of an inch thick and double.
The hail broke both thicknesses, and tore
Tic llllO Auc WOouOh
shutters, too, were smashed, and many
of the mirrors were broken. The
"decklights on the top of the cars
were also demolished. The dome of the
engine was dented, as if it had been
pounded with heavy weight, and the
woodwork on the south side of the cars
was ploughed as if some one had struck
it ali over with sliding blows from a
hammer. During the continuance OF
this terrible fusilade, which lasted fully
twenty minutes, the excitement and fear
among the passengers ran very high.
Several ladies tainted, and one lady,
Mrs. Earle, wife of the Superintendent
of the Mountain division of the road,
went into spasms, from which she did
not recover for over an hour after the
cessation of the storm. Several persons
sitting on the south side of the cars We're
more or less injured about the head and
face.
As soon as the storm abated little,
the mating in the cars was hung up i'll
front of the windows, and the train
moved ahead, the drifted hail stones
proving an obstacle for some miles. AT
the next station strips Of tin were pro-
cured and fastened over the windows the
entire length of the train. The cars
have been run into the shop for repairs,
and the damage will amount, it is esti-
mated, TO several thousand dollars.

What to Eat.

DIR. Hail relates the case of man who
was cured of his biliousness by going
without his supper and drinking freely
of lemonade. The next morning this
patient arose with wonderful sense OF
rest and refreshment, and feeling as
though the blood had been literally
washed, cleansed and cooled by the lem
onade and fast. His theory is that food
can be used as a remedy for many dis
eases successfully. AS an example, he
cures splitting of blood by the use OF
salt epilepsy, by watermelons; kidney
affections, by celery poison, by olive
or sweet oil; erysipelas, by pounded
cranberries applied to the part affected
hydrophobia, by onions, etc. So the
way to keep in good health is really to
know what to eat and to know what medi-
cines to take.

A PHYSICIANS Curious Fee.

In Philadelphia there lives an old
woman who for years has been sick.
A physician has offered to cure her other
malady for $1,000. This sum of money
the woman was unable to get, so the
doctor informed her that for one million
cancelled postage stamps he would effect
the cure. The old woman at once set
about procuring the stamps, and it com
ing TO the ears of the boys and girls OF
the high school and of the schools in
Manayunk and Germantown, they began
70 help in the attainment of this much
desired object. One girl has already
handed over / 300, and others are even
over that figure. Two young ladies
from Roxboro, says the Pottstown
