A Mystery Cleared Up.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Herald thus tells
how girls mischievous acts were ex-
posed: All newspaper readers of this
State remember the startling and unac-
,countable manifestations which occurred
at Surrency, on the Macon and Bruins
wick railroad, a year or two since, and
which was attributed to the agency of
spirits. The house of Mr.. Surrency was
turned into pandemonium for the time
being. Crockery from unseen sources
would fall into the middle of the rooms,
brickbats would crash down, and billets
of wood would be hurled in at windows,
seemingly without any human agency.
The wonderful occurrences, however,
finally stopped, and after while lived
only in the remembrance of those who
had witnessed and heard of them Some
time since similar manifestations began
in the family of very estimable lady,
Mrs. Russell johnson, of Barlow, on
the line of the Central railroad. The
crockery, brickbats, and other portable
and small articles, rained about the
house in the most astonishing manner,
causing no little terror to the inmates.
However, Mr.. John A. Mcmillan, son.
in-law of Mrs. johnson, not being fright.
ened entirely out Of his wits, noted the
similarity of the manifestations to those
at Surreney, and finally remembered that
they had employed in the family as .
servant at the time, colored girl who
had alsosbeen in the employ of Mr.. Sur
rency at the time those strange freaks o
the unseen agency took place in his
house. 81 Thinking that the two mus
certainly have some connection will
each other,a strict watch was kept upor
the girl, and she was finally detected il
the act of taking brick from concealed
position about her person and hurting i
into the middle of the room. Here thel
was the secret. She was immediatel,
unprecedented, and under fear of bein,
dealt with by law, confessed that sh
was the author of the mischief.

weight as come down, to fourteen
stone, very fair weight for a
man Of his height. Pure air, moderate
diet, regular exercise, early hours would
be capital regimen for many overfed,
overgrown people. The Dartmoor eli
mate is, however, peculiar. 1 observe
that the medical officers report in the
blue-book states that if mans consti-
tuition is robust the climate will agree
with him much, but if he is weakly his
health will be stationary or go off The
Dartmoor climate will either kill or cure
the claimant of any ailments which he
may have. He is described as a very
tquiet prisoner, giving no trouble, and
showing quickness and intelligence of
course weary of his captivity, do not
know If he goes to the school, but his
spelling is as defective as ever. To a
certain extent the fate of every convict
may be said to be in his own hands. The
main point is that the prisoner should
be Industrious, and earn "marks. 7"
Capt. Grifiths, in his recent book,
Memorials of Millbank," says that
"marks" is the one dream of the pris-
oner's life. .EHH -E tIsf.|
Castro has, of course, the additional
dream that a Kenealyite House of Com
mons will one day set him at liberty
But If he earns "marks his condition
will improve after he has left the pro-
baton ranks. He will then have more
numerous opportunities given him of
writing to his friends. He will have
more opportunities of seeing them He
will be able to reduce his sentence to
the extent of one fourth. AS Castro S
conduct is technically "good," he may
be expected, if living, to adorn the So
ciety of his friends in less than ten
years time. Under the old system of
transportation it was felt that the con
vict had a hope, in new country and
under new conditions, of retrieving his
career, and a calculable period of re-
mission of punishment has been given
as an equivalent. Tckets-of-leave are
not given with the facility of yore, and
the question of a remission will not
even be entertained until certain nun.

Useful Notes.

Fusel oil is said to be dead shot for
potato bugs. a@@'e |r'j
For hoarseness use the white of an
egg, thoroughly beaten, mixed with
lemon juice and sugar. A teaspoonful
taken occasionally soon gives relief.
About three coats of common opal
varnish applied to the soles of boots
will render them twice as durable. The
application is an excellent sanitary pre-
caution.
The following is recommended by a
pharmaceutical journal for excessive per
spiration of the feet : Burnt alum, five
parts salicylic acid, two and a half
parts wheat starch, fifteen parts; vene-
tian tale, fifty parts. Mix thoroughly to
a fine powder. .r. sta rst
To remove dandruf, the simplest and
best thing to dois to frequently sham
poo the head with soapsuds, to rub the
hair dry with a towel, and afterwards
use stiff brush. The following lotion
as a daily application has good effect
Glycerine, one ounce rose water, three
ounces tincture cantharides, two
drachms. 80
Good petroleum should be colorles'
or light yellow or with the faintes
tinge of violet. When shaken with sui
phuric acid, diluted with it's own bulk o
water, it should only color the acid {
light yellow, becoming itself lighter il
color by the treatment. At ninety iv'
degrees Fahrenheit it should not burr
when light is supplied. 1t shoul'
have no unpleasant odor. ....-...
Linen garments which have becom
yellow from time may be whitened b.
being boiled in lather made of mil
and pure white soap, pound of the LAT
ter to a gallon of the former. After tn
boiling process, the linen should b
twice rinsed, little blue being added t
the last water used.

A Faithful wife.

The wife of John Comstock, the dis
cover of the great Comstock mine at
Virginia City, has been making q tour
of the Territories in quest of informa-
ton concerning her husband, who left
her over twenty years ago, Twice or
thrice he was reported dead, and each
time the report was contradicted, until
his wife was unprepared to believe him
either dead or alive. About month
ago she started out on trip of inquiry
and discovery. At Cheyenne she was
told by a man who pretended to know
Comstock that he was living in southern
Utah, and was very poor. The wife,
ready to seize upon any hope, fastened
off on the hunt of her husband, visiting
nearly every town in the territory. Then
she went on over to Nevada, where he
was once known to everybody as the dis
cover Of the Comstock, and there she
heard that he had died in Montana, in
destitute circumstances, some years ago.
She returned to Salt Lake, and from
there went up into Montana, where she
has found the proofs of his death. He
had drifted, it seems, into the Sweet
water, Wyoming, mines, and left there
with the Big Horn expedition, in 1871.
The. expedition, failing of its object,
was disbanded some returning to the
railroad and the remainder going Oh
through the Yellowstone region into
Montana. Comstock reached Bozemar
sick, discouraged and penniless. HI
often pointed to his discovery, the Com
stock, then producing it's 10000, O0(
annually, and the thought seemed tx
bring dependency. One day, in til,
spring Of 1871, he borrowed pisto
from Mr.. Dillabur, a shoemaker, anc
stepping outside the shop lodged bul
let in his brain. He left no property o
any kind, and the expenses of his bu
rial, which was quietly conducted, wa
shared among few friends. Mrs. Com
stock has found his grave, and, bein,
possessed of means left her by her faith
er, proposes to remove the remains t,
her present home, somewhere in th
States.

A Queer Lot.

About as queer a lot of people as
have ever assembled to hear public
speaking seem to have been drawn to-
gether at the " First Convention of the
New Era" described in a correspondence
from Vineland, N. j. These enthusiasts
propose to inaugurate reform of the
world by abolishing the customs of
society, and especially are they bitter
against the institution of marriage. A
great anxiety fornotoriety or martyrdom
is prominent feature of their addresses.

A Terrible Experience.

Four men have had terrible expert
ence in Panamint valley, California.
Water is scarce in that region, and it is
customary for those Who make the Jour-
ney to carry supply. This party, how
ever, took too little, and were soon suf-
fering with thirst. The first to suecumb
was told by his comrades to lie still and
they would return to him with water.
Another very soon gave out, and was
advised to return to where the other had
been left. AT length another became
exhausted, leaving only ,one-an old
mountaineer named Phillips-to strug-
81 on until he reached spring. He
filed his canteen and started back to
succor his comrades, but when he found
them one was dead. =, .-t,r
