REMARKS.

There is II fair supply of hogs in the
market this week, some increase on the
number over last week, but the increase
has consisted of more inferior quality
than were in the pens last week, being
light bacon hogs which are too high for
the purposes needed and are accordingly
hard to sell. The other grades are in fair
demand, but scarcely as active as they
were last week, and at the close the mar
ket is at stand and few sales have been
made at our highest quotations.
Quotations-Light bacon hogs l0i@

PECULIAR PEOPLE.

A Boston letter to an Eastern news
paper relates that upon one of the fash
ionable South End squares of that city
there has lived in swel-front, four
story brick house, until very lately, a
woman, who has hired for her servant
her own sister. The latter was treated
in all respects as a menial, and though
the woman and her husband, having no
children, dined alone when there was no
company in the house, they never per-
mitted the sister to sit with them. Not
only this, but the sister-servant was kept
at work from early till late, and there
was no such thing as leisure for her, or
a particle of the consideration due from
one SO nearly related to her. Finally
the woman moved out of town, and the
sister determined to find an easier place.
Accordingly she engaged to go to sum-
mer resort as pastry cook in a fashion
able boarding house. Now it has trans
pired that her sister and former mistress
has engaged board for the warm season
not only at this very resort, but also at
the very house, where her sister is to
furnish the daily pies and puddings.

The Science of Health says: "Not
until we deal conscientiously with nature
as we do with tradesman shall we as in
dividuals be entitled to reward of merit.
We ask for a load of wood, pay the mar
ket price. for it, get the worth of our
money and have the satisfaction of
warmth from the fire it makes. Sup
pose the dealer knew we would not pay
for it. He would not be likely to give
full measure of the best quality. The
dainty bits of lace, jet ornaments
and plumes, rose buds and velvet COM
posing a hat are very becoming to some
faces. The dressy hat has a price; it
takes money to pay for it. The little
lady wishes to- look stylish, pays the
price and Is satisfied until the fashion
changes. She desires health and elas-
tlcltv of step, buoyancy of spirit. Could
tEey be purchased at Stewards or of
Worth, millions of dollars would roll
into credit of their bank accounts. Alas,
poor child of fashion! Gold cannot
buy for you the dewy freshness of Wig
orous life. The sunshine and raindrops
are gifts. Roses in cheeks, cherries in
color of lips, come from within. The
price is service and faithful service, too,
under the direction of the most gener-
Gus and most exacting physician, Mother
Nature. Her rewards are sure; her
punishment certain. There can be no
appeal to a higher court-no amend
ments to her divinely-appointed ''con-
stitution. "Will you enter willing stu
dent? Are you willing to measure your
life by her rule and compass and square,
"No?" Then there is little hope for
you."

STRUGGLE WITH A SWORDFISH

Capt. ID. d. Thurlow, of the fishing
schooner Ct. f. Brown, sighting a
school of mackerel off Fire Island, on
Wednesday, set out in small boat to
capture them. He got them into his net
and was hauling it in when an unusual
commoton showed that he had caught
something larger than mackerel. He
though that he had shark to deal with,
and watched it's movements anxiously,
expecting that it would break through
his ne 6 and iberate the whole school of
mackerel. AS the Captain stood with
up under the boat and Dearly capsized
it, sent the Captain sprawling on his
back, and threw the other men off their
seats. When the men regained their
feet, they found that their antagonist
was swordfish. He had driven his
sword clear through the bottom Of the
boat, and was for a moment held fast.
But as the planks of the boat were not
thick enough to hold him long, the men
lost no time in getting a complicated
series of half bitches around him with a
stout line. Just as the last moose was
tightened the fish freed himself, and
darted off into position for another
charge. But..as the grip of the rope was
tightened with every movement, he was
at the mercy of his captors. The fish
ermen stopped the hole in the boat and
pulled FOR the schooner, landing their
captive safely on deck, and brought him
to Fulton Market. Yesterday morning
it was sent to Overton's restaurant, in
Park Row. Ii is much larger that those
usually caught in New York waters.
The sword measures feet inches, and
the body from the base of the sword to
the tail, is over IL feet. 1t weighed 800
pounds, net. To-day its skin is to be
stripped off and stuffed for the Central
Park Museum, and the flesh will be serv-
ed up in steaks and chowders to Over
toms customers. York San, 18Th.

A FLORIDA TRAGEDY.
A Former Resident of Fond du Lac
Murdered Confession of the
Murderer--The Alleg-
ed Vengeance of
Deserted Wife.

The Florida papers contain an account
OF peculiarly interesting tragedy,
In which a Mr.. Keech, long missing
from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin,, enacts
very important part. He arrived in
Florida about year and half ago. He
purchased a farm in ST. Johns county,
not far from Matanzas inlet He was
industrious and energetic, and soon be-
came noted as cne of the most prosper
GUS farmers in the country. Mr.. Keech
was accompanied by his wife, or by a
woman supposed to be his wife. To all
appearance, the two lived together in
tirs e--4v,st peace and tranquility. Some
time ago man calling himself j. Smith
Newton, and representing himself as a
land speculator, made his appearance in
the keech neighborhood, and remained
several days. He finally left, and neith
er Mr.. Keech nor his neighbors thought
any more of the stranger. A few days
ago, however, he again made his appear
ance, and after making some inquiries of
Mr.. Williams, proceeded to Keech's
house. 1t happened that Mr.. Keech
owed Mr.. Williams small sum of mon
ey, and had promised to call and pay it
the next day, after Newton made his
appearance. That day, however, and
the next passed, and still Mr., Keech did
not appear to fulfil his promise. Know
ing his neigbor to be very prompt man
In his business affairs, Mr.. Williams at
once proceeded to Investigate the cause
of the unusual delay. Mounting horse
he rode to the farm of Keech and there
discovered that most atrocious murder
had been committed. Mrs. Keech was
found in her room, shot to death, while
M, Ior i, hi
CIT, bullet-hole in the back of his head
ard his skull crushed in. MIR. Keech's
neighbors Immediately assembled and
organized two pursuing parties-one
under the command of MIR. Virgil Du-
pont and the other under the command
of the Sheriff of st. Johns county.
They followed the murderer nearly SO
miles sparing neither whip nor spur, and
finally came up with him in Volusia
county, where he was endeavoring to
make his way on foot to the St. Johns
river. The confession of the murderer,
which has been made, invests the crime
with mysterious interest. His name is
j. Smith Newton, and he says he was
born in Buenos Ayres, of English par
ents. He says that his purpose was not
robbery, but the hope of ultimate gain.
He states that the woman known as Mrs
Ellen Keech was not the wife of Mr..
Keech, but his mistress. and that the
red Mrs. Keech is resident of Foud du
Lac, Wis. Keech deserted his real wife,
took up with the murdered woman, and
fled to Florida. The prisoner says he
was employed by Mrs, Keech, who is his
aunt, to follow her truant husband and
murder him and his mistress. AS a re-
ward for his trouble, Newton was to re-
ceive share of the estate of Mr.. Keech
which is said to be worth about $50, 900.
An attempt was made by some of the
citizens of Orange county to lynch New
ton, and it was the fear of this that led
him to confess his crime.

He Cor EvEN.-A party of rough
miners near White Pine, away out West,
played rather severe joke upon green
hand, one Perley, and had afterwards
occasion to regret their fun. Perley
and the rest went to q dance, and the
boys, feeling rather well, concluded to
duck Perley in a running brook. When
he came out he was shivering like q cat
pulled from a well. Perley said little,
but thought a great deal and waited.
The dance over, the party camped out
for the night, and then Perley rose for
revenge. He took the cook into his
confidence, paying him for his assistance,
and then did some more waiting. Much
whisky had made the miners drowsy,
and they were soon all lying on the
ground sleeping soundly. Then Perley
andthe cook went out into the darkness.
The former had matured his plan for
vengence. The design was to SO turn
the mountain torrent from its natural
channel that it would whelm the sleepers
below. It was no light task they had
undertaken, but one was labor1ng for
money and the other for revenge. 1t
was nearly morning, when the dam was
completed all ready to let the water into
the new channel. The final blows were
given and the chatting stream escaped into
the new channel a roaring torrent. 1t
ragged down upon the sleepers in the
tent and went over them as the waters
did over Pharaoh and his hosts. Tent,
provisions and tools went, and the min
ers, half-drowned, escaped to land with
difficulty. When daylight came Perley
and the cook were gone, and band of
wet miners sat upon the bank, very mel
ancholy, and full of sorrow. Perley
was more than even with them.

a PERILOUS MISTAKE.

Last winter good many depre1ations
wood-pile, and as he was unable to de-
tect the thieves by watching for them,
he concluded to try another plan. He
procured an auger, and boring large
holes in several of the logs he charged
them with gun powder, and then, plug
ging the holes, he laid the logs in the
most conspicuous place on top OF the
pile. He forgot to mention the fact to
the servant girl, and that being, with the
faculty of her class for blundering, the
first time she wanted wood lighted on
the loaded logs and brought two of them
into the kitchen. That evening while
the family were sitting at the supper
table, Keyser was just saying that he
wouldn't care if the head was blown off
of the man who stole the wood, when
Mrs. Keyser got up and put q fresh log
on the fire, and Keyser was in the midst
of an exulting description of the terror
that would fill the heart of the thief
when the logs exploded, when there was
slight ''sizz'' in the fire place, then a
tremendous chang" was heard, and the
next instant log of hickory whizzed
across the table, knocking over the cas-
tors, bursting the coffee-pot to flinders,
and just missing Keyser's head.
Before he could imagine what was the
matter log battered open the parlor
door and brought up end foremost in
the mirror over the mantlepiece. Then
Keyser realize the sitrstion, and going
into the kitchen he communed with the
hired girl upon the subject until Mrs.
Keyser had to hurry the children up
stairs SO that they wo6ldu't learn how to
swear. When his feelings were relieved
Keyser drew the loads from the other
logs, and told Mrs. Keyser that he be-
ieved the only way to protect wood
pile was to put it into the charge of a
whole-souled and earnest Watchdog that
expressed his sentiments with cordiality
when he was angry. He is now looking
for dog.-Mar Adeler.

THE LONGEVITY OF TokDs. The

THE LONGEVITY OF TokDs. long
witty of toads is again under discussion,
owing to discovery made near Orsay,
Eng. In digging up a garden some
workmen unearthed two terracotta vases
which they at first supposed to contain
treasure. On breaking them, however,
two live toads we're found clad in green
velvet. This strange attire showed that
they must be at least. 200 years old, as an
ancient treatise on magic and demonol-
ogy mentions that at the beginning of
the seventeenth century sorcerers dress
ed up toads in this manner for the achieve
ment of certain charms. The same
treatise tells the fate on an unlucky citi-
zen of Soissons who baptized a toad,
which he had galy caparisoned for the
ceremony, and was burnt alive for the
sacrlege.
