Crime in Summer.

There is said TO be an increase of
crime in summer. Suicides are more
common in summer, but this, also. may
be accounted for by natural causes.
Suicide generaIlg is the result of busi-
ness failure or lack Of occupation, either
or both combined producing despair,
and a careless disregard Of life. Prom
the general dullness which pervades
every community during the extremely
warm months, commercial failures are
common; from failures in business
comes lack of occupation, and from idle
ness comes misery. The disappointed
and unhappy fly to suicide, and the
more so in simmer, because the causes
of their trouble are more frequent in
that season than in any other. In France
suicide by drowning is frequent in July
and August, and other warm months
much more so than at any other time.
Not even a suicide likes TO jump into
cold water. There is something abont
the first chilling plunge that repels one

heat of the atmosphere, and the FIRE that
is burning in a mans brain, make him
regard the spring into the waves as a
pleasant thing. 1t is to him the end Of
all trouble and the beginning of rest.
1t is so with financial crimes. Forgery,
embezzlement and petty larceny are
more frequent then because the summer
stagnation of business causes general de-
preston. This makes felt the need Of
funds, and obliges men to get money in
some way; and, if it does not come by
fair means it is obtained in any ready
way that suggests itself. Philosophers
have been specializing on the connection
between crime and warm weather, and
no doubt in time there will be evolved a
long, profound. non understandable
theory abont "Psychology and increase
of temperature during the summer
months, and consequent mental and
moral alteration"

How Butter Is Sometimes Tainted.

Winter and Spring butter is often
very much injured in flavor by allow
ing cows to eat the litter from horse sta
hles. Cows are not unfreqHently very
fond Of this litter, though il IS i'm
prcgnated with liquid manure from the
horses. and If allowed, they eat it greedi-
ly; and the effect is that their milk and
butter will be tainted with the taste of
this kind Of food. in the same way that
the flavor is injured by enting turnips,
but To- a more disagreeable degree. II
litter is allowed to be eaten, il should be
only given to cattle not in milk, and on
no account should milch cows be allow
ed To consume other than the sweetest
and purest food. Very nice butter
makers are sometimes at loss to ac-
count for stable taintz in bntter, espe-
cially ~hen extraordinary precautions
done in the most perfect manner. and so
on in all the processes Of handling milk
until the butter is packed for market
Still, butter has n disagreeable taini
and the cause often comes from allow

and exercise, to feed about the horse sta.

The Nipenchin Skirt.

\ case of agony occurred, yesterday
at the corner of Chartres and Canal
streets, which makes the heart sad on
contemplation. A young lady came
along, hermetically sealed up by bat
terry of pins in one of the new style of
walking dress, which, by the way, has
the quality Of prettiness to recommend
it, whatever may be the physiological
objections to it. At the corner she hap
pened to drop her handkerchief, and a
man near by, whom the sequel will show
to be veritable beast in disguise, made
forward movement to pick it mp. In
the act of doing SO, he reconsidered his
resolution, and stood stately up, leaving
the handkerchief where it was. The
young lady made an agonizing appeal
with pair of brilliant black eyes TO
the tantalizing male, but he ungallantly
remained obdnrate to the mute request,
and laid his spine against the lamp
post. She then made three efforts her
self to pick it up, but failed. Finally
she made kind of semi-circular spring,
such as men make when they run races
in sacks. and. picking up the handker-
chief, she left rapidly, while the blnshes
went way back to her hair.-[New Or

Snails.

One of the singular industries pursued
bv the Parisians is that of fattening
snails for the market That the de-
maHd for this article of diet is large is
proved by the fact that great number
of persons find prontabIe employment
in furnishing an adequate supply. Most
snaIl-breeders who carry on their busi-
ness outside the "barriers" of Paris fat
ten the Inollnsces in tanks, but some
prefer to keep the creatures in the open
air The preserve in which snails are
fed is divided into eight or ten separate
Enclosures, each of which is surrounded
by line of sawdust fonr inches broad,
and freshly laid each morning. This
simple hedge is an e1ectnal barrier to
the passage of any helix tempted to in
dulge vagabond propen stiles and stray
beyond the boundaries Of its allotted
precincts. Each daily consignment Of
snails is deposited in one of the parks
or Enclosures. and is left 10 fast for 48
hours. After this they are removed to
another park, where they are provided
with abundance of food, consisting Of
cabbages, lettuce, endives. thyme and
vine leaves. Purified 10y their prolong-
ed fast, the snails eat with voracitv, and
in eight or ten days are fat enough to
satisfy the eye and taste of Partisan
epicure. The tax upon fatted snails il
very small, but it is estimated that, were
the levy to be raised to one-quarter Of
that set upon oysters, and fifty snails to
be counted as one dozen bivalves, the
revenue annually arising from their
consumption in Paris would amount to
2oo,o 900 francs. Ii is stated that diet
of snails reduces mans flesh until he
becomes a mere skeleton. The edible
snail of the Gold Coast has a shell three
inches long by two inches deep. From
this he protrudes pair of tentacles are
the choice part Of the animal. and are
served whole in that savory compound
called snail soup. Shrimp-fishing Is al
so an extensive industry to France, and
Is mostly pursued by women. The
shrimps are plentiful ON sandy shores,
and the fishers wade knee-deep into the
sea, pushing before them net in the
form of a wide mouthed bag sowed
around hoop and fastened to the end
of pole by means of a cross-piece. a
bag tied around the waist receives the
animals as they are caught. In winter
the shrimp retires to deeper water, and
is there captnred in nets drawn by boats.
These nets are now made Of galvanized
wire, which resists the action Of the wa
ter, and is great improvement upon
twine. Sbrimps are sometimes left by
the retiring tide in sandy pools, ard
when alarmed will bury themselves in
the sand by dexterous movement Of
their fan-like tail. In feeding they
grasp their prey by the short rake like
appendages between the claws proper
and the tail, and pass it along up TO the
claws, and so on to the mouth. The
choice between shrimps and snhils MS
food is mere matter Of taste. Many
persons who partake Of the one reject
the other with loathing, but there Seems,
in fact, no reason why both are not as
cleanly and Wholesome as the oyster.

Immense Gas Flow.

At Collinwood, where are the
Lake Shore Railway shops, in East
Cleveland, there has been discover
ed a gas territory, curious particu-
lars of which are given in the Cleve-
land Herald: Mr.. Anson Bartlett,
in digging a cellar, noticed an es-
cape of gas from the earth. He
has lately carried that gas by an
india-rubber tube to his parlor,
which room is lighted by it.. On
making known this escape Of gas
Mr.. Joseph Parks, who owns a farm
not many rods distant from the
Round House of the Lake Shore
Company, called attention to n spot
on his farm which may betorty feet
square, and which is covered by a
substance resembling peat. Mr.
Marsilliot and Mr.. Bartlett visited
the spot and commenced some ex-
periments. This peat substance lies
to the depth Of three feet or less.
1t is composed of mineral oil, de-
cayed vegetable matter, &c. 1t
burns very readily and very bright
ly, giving out great heat. On re-
moving this peat from a small spot
blue clay was struck, which had
many seams or assures. A rain
filled up the excavation, and on
going to it in the morning a very
rapid bubbling was going on by the
escape of the gas. An improvised
receiver was made by planting a
tobacco pail inverted. and in that
was inserted a three-eighths gas pipe.
On touching lighted match a Jet
of gas eighteen inches in height lit
up the surroundings. That jet con-
tinues to burn steadily. Arrange
ments are making TO utilize this gas,
and the gentlemen in interest are
confident there is gas sufficient to
light up and heat up the shops and
the dwellings Of that entire section.
There is every reason to suppose the
supply to be inexhaustible, and if
so the value Of the discovery cannot

First Glass Villas.

Rural property near New York
city does not seem TO "pay."s We
find the following in the New York
Times:
Within the past season, a we'll
known estate on the Upper Hudson
beautifully situated and carefully
laid out, which cost the owner 500,
900, was sold for less than the mort
gage upon it, or for 100000. As
the traveller sails up the Hudson
beyond Newburg he will, within
short distance, see three fine proper
ties, one of which belonged to
British Ambassador, another to one
of our own foreign Ministers, anoth-
er to an equally prominent person,
all of which are in the market, uR-
salable and unrentable, one, indeed,
being turned into a brickyard.-
Passing still further up the stately
river, the traveller will be pointed
to other splendid properties belong
ing to old manorial estades-some
whose titles came from the British
crown, and others whose deeds sign
ed by the Indian chiefs-now utter
ly worthless as sources of profit, the
expenses of keeping them up ex-
ceeding any rent possible for them,
and they themselves not finding a
buyer at the price of the mortgage
on them. These places, too, it
should be remarked, are among the
price of the mortgages on them.
These places, too, it should be re-
marked, are among the finest in the
Northern States, with handsome
lawns and gardens, old trees and
parks and superb views of river and
mountain. The houses themselves
are perhaps old, but not uneomfor-
table, and they are easy of access
by boat and railroad. The same
state Of things prevails further from
the river. There is one place in
Dutchess county, which is said 70
have cost $3.50, 600, and which could
not be rented, and probably not sell
for third of its value. In the inter
Tor of the State there are numerous

The Noon and the Earth.

From a Review in the London SPECTATOR
Imagine how breathless the interest
with which we should have awaited each
revelation of the marvellous instruments
which science employs in the work Of
lunarian discovery, if our satellite had
been inhabited, and we could have dis
covered something like our own human
life? Unhappily any such Imagination
is out of the question. A place without
air and water, and in which the temper
AZURE passes through range Of nearly
700' within fortnight, must present
conditions of which we cannot form any
conception. Another Peculiarity which,
to our notions at least, would be unpleas-
ant, is supplied by the meteors. Here
they are pretty spectacle; in the moon
they cannot be seen, but they must, at
times, at least keep up very brisk can
onade. "As there il no atmosphere"
write our authors "to consume the me-
teors by fractional heat or break by its
resistance the velocity Of their descent,
they must strike the moon with a force
to which that Of a cannon ball striking
a target is feeble indeed" If these diff
ficulties could be removed, the moon
would be a most eligible place for the
observation Of astronomical phenomena
for finding out, for instance, all that
we are so laboriously seeking TO discover
about the sun. The earth, too, would
present a spectacle Of extraordinary
beauty.
At this sunset time, the earth, near
" in the zenith of ns (the supposed lu-
mar spectators) will be at its half illnm-
mated phase, and even then 1t will shed
more light than we receive upon the
brightest of moonlight nights. As the
night proceeds, The earth's phase will in
crease through the gibbous stages until
at midnight it will be full, and our orb
will he seen in its entire beauty. 1t will
perform at least one of its twenty fouI-
hourly rotations during the time that il
appears quite full (the night is more
than three hundred hours long, and the
whole Of its surface features will in that
time pass before the lunar spectators
eye. At times the northern pole will
be turned toward our view, al times the

Death IF Father NicephOrus-
Hundred and Seventeen Years of
Age.

from the Pail Mall Gazette, June 26-l
The death of a "veritable centenarian"
is reported from Mount Athos. Father
Nieephorus, of the Convent Zitza, has
just passed away at the age of one hun
dred and seventeen years. A romantic
souvenir, saws the Levant Herald, is at
tached to the earlier days of this vener-
able priest. He was the actual caloyer
who, according to Mr.. Hobhonse, By
ron s travelling companion, entertained
the poet ''in warm chamber with grapes
and pleasant white wine, not trodden
out with the feet, but pressed from the
grape by the hand" and who in graft
tude was immortalized by his guest in
"ChiIde Harold:"-
Here dwells the eaIoyer, rude is he,
Nor niggard OF his cheer; the passer by
Is welcome still.
Father Nicephorus, it is said, pre-
served to the last years of his long life
a lively recollection of Byron's visit to
Zitza. Mount Athos air seems to agree
with the monks, for the other day anoth-
er caloyer died at the age of 103. Prob
ably, however, it is not only the air, but
the ''absence of worry on Mount Athos
which is favorable to longevity The
monks who inhahit moEasteries in that
elevated situation are not much troubled
with the cares that shorten the life of
so many secular householders. They
are not pestered by dishonest and dis
contented servants, by extortionate
tradesmen or by many morning visitors.
They live, too, chiefly on herbs, fruits
and fish, and keep regular hours. IF
Father Nicephorus had "dined ont" six
nights in the week, eating immense
quantities of unwholesome food. breath
ing an impure atmosphere and only re-
tiring to rest in the early hours of the
morning he would probably not have at
tanned the ripe age of III.

\ Colorado letter states that wool
growing il destined to be one Of the
heaviest and most important interests IN
the Territory. There is no location in
the country better fitted for sheep The
climate is mild, and in most cases the

is abundant and the bunch grass in the

seemed TO be equal to the sheep. The
wool here is very clean and entirely free
from briars, burdocks, &c. The increase
Of wool shipments from Colorado has
been forty per cent. year for the last
three or four years, and this year the in
crease will be still greater. The nocks
are mostly Mexic i'm proved by Merino

is of very good quality, fine grained,
firm and tender. The spring cutting Of
wool is estimated at from 5000, 900 to
5000, 900 pounds. One firm in this city,

100000 pounds, and expect TO handle

Eastern buyers are already scattered ov-
er the Territory, and large shipments
have been made to Philadelphia, Boston,
Chicago, and Canton. Ohio. Philadel-
phia is probably the leading market for
Colorado wool. The prices are from p
TO 30 cents. The attempt to cultivate
the Angora goat, which was tried here
few years ago, was failure, and has
been wholly abandoned.

ming into one another, so that it l.
hard to tell where the one begins
and the other ends. The cost of
this stupendous structure, tunnel
and all, is put down at thirteen mil
lions of dollarsl Think of it, for
two miles of superstructure, which
is about the length OF the bridge and
tunnel. This is more than Cincin-
natl expects to pay for the Southern
Railroad, or rather moro than she
set apart for the purpose.
The first thing a cold-blooded per-
son asks, one who does not take
glory at the regular St. Louis rates,
docs the bridge pay? 1t does not.
The stock, if am correctly inform,
will be rendered worthless by the
first mortgage bond-holders, who, of
course, have first lien. The receip pts
of the bridge, deducting expenses,
will not pay more than two and a
half per cent on its cost. The effect
of this, of course, will be TO eat up
the stock of the stockholders. But
the rich men of st. Louis had
rather have their pockets operated
upon considerably than not to have
the bridge. It is their pride and
glory. The one big thing among
big things, a section Of the Great
Future brought into service ahead
of time.
