A Female Fiend.

The woman whose nature is SO nearly
fiendish as it is possible to conceive of lives
at Bastrap, Louisiana. Her name is Luna
McRea, and she is now in prison upon the
charge of numbering a small child. AT her
preliminary examination the testimony in
pleasure in killing the child by inches, and
after the accomplishment of the deed to
have felt no compunctions or any of the
ordinary dislike of a murderer to having
the body Of the victim in any place to serve
as reminder. The woman's own sen, a
little boy of twelve, was the principal wit
ness against her. She made this mere
child dig up and remove the body of her
victim two or three times within the space
of a week. She first buried the murdered
child in garden, and when it disappeared
and excited comment and caused the in
stitution of a search, she attracted the
| attention of the officers to another point,
she herself accompanying them, first telling
her little son to dig up the body in her
| absence and hide it in the chimney. The
boy performed the task, and at night was
| made to carry the body to q cotton pen and
subsequently to thicket, whore it was
finally discovered. During the course of
| the trial, with her own son giving such
| testimony of her atrocity, the woman
eyinced little feeling of any kind, passing
through the entire ordeal with an unrufied
i CemeanOr.

Melon Trains from Florida.

The crop of melons In Florida this year
win be unprecedentedly large, and to dis
pose of them proftabty has been matter
Of serious concern to all the growers.
Superintendent Haines, of the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad, while in Florida about ten
days ago, saw this difficulty, and immedi-
ately set to work to remedy it. He wrote
to persons in several of the western cities,
offering to place watermelons in those
markets by express trains, fresh and good.
The idea was Immediately taken up, sever
al merchants guaranteeing to dispose of
twenty carloads 100000 of melons per
week. Mr.. Hains Immediately notified the
Floridians of the prospect and they assert
that they can furnish 200 carloads 200, 600
of melons between..now and the 10Th of July.
The ears of the Gulf road not being adapted
to some Of the western tracks, the Green
Line cars can only be used, and ne has
written on all sides for them. These cars
are to be partly open SO as to allow the air
to pass through, and will have painted in
large letters ON their sides, "Fruit Car,
A. & G. r. r." The first train of seven
cars left Live Oak yesterday, ard goes
directly to Chicago. A second of fourteen
cars has gone down to load, and will leave
Tuesday morning, and as many cars as can
be had will be laden with this fruit and be
forwarded On the 28th of this month a
monster train Of melons will be dispatched,
which will also take with it a delegation of
| the Florida fruit growers to Chicago, who
go for the purpose of locking around, and
| making this permanent business Er-

A Machine for Saving Quicksilver.

On the 2sth day of last May letters patent
were issued from the Office at Washington
to John w. Varney and John B. Hereford,
IF this city, for an invention to save the
quicksilver contained in the tailings from
the mills. 1t is well known that for every
ton of rock crushed two or three pounds of
quicksilver are lost During the amalgam-
'ion and the grinding process in the ANAL
mating p.ns considerable quantities Of
in;cksi,ver bec,mc fl ,ured, and the glob-
,Ii.s gst coated W.T., u black, greasy sub
tu,ce, whic!i causes them to float on the
.e.p uf the water in tie form of black
cum. This scum bearing with it the
lobules of quicksilve r, flows off with the
,ailings and is lost.
1t has also been ascertained that if this
scum be rubbed gently between two surfss-
ces, the greasy covering is removed, the
globules of quicksilver gravitate, their af-
finity for other is restored, and they unite
in one common mass. This is the operation
intended to be performed by the machine.
But this invention does not rely for its
value upon theory alone. It has been
practically tried during the last eight
months at the Occidental mill, and found
to answer admirably the purpose for which
it was constructed. It is not saying ton
much to say that it will save when attached
to an ordinary twenty-stamp mill, $500 per
month in quicksilver.
The machine consists of circular pan,
with central cone cast on the apex OF a
cone rising above the top Of the sides of
the pan, and having journal for shaft.
The shaft is supported at the lower end by
| an oscillating step, which is held in place
| by lever, one end Of which is pivoted,
and the other raised or lowered by a screw
and hand-wheel. The driver is keyed upon
| the top end of the shaft, and turns conf
cal muller. The exterior surface of the
muller, contains little dove tailed slots,
which are made to receive shoes of rubber,
| wood, leather or other material. These
are arranged on the inside surface of the
conical muller, as closely together as posi-
BILE, and give the tailings room to run be-
tween them. The exterior cone of the pan
is lined with copper, against which the
| shoes ON the inside of the conical muller
/ rub.
The operation of the machine is as fol
lows: The tailings run in and down be.
tween the copper lining of the cone and the
inside of the conical muller. In the bottom
of the pan is a body of quicksilver extend,
ing above the lower edge of the muller
the muller being in motion around the cone
the tailings during their fall are rubbed be
tween the shoes and the copper lining Of the
cone, thereby removing the greasy coating
from the Toured quicksilver and allowing il
to unite with other particles so that wher
the tailings are forcing their way through
the quicksilver at the bottom of the par
these particles will join tine main body and
be retained. The tailings go on through
and are discharged from an opening made
for the purpose. = Enfsrpriss.

The Creation of Woman.

A prince once said to Rabbi Gamaliel,
Your God is thief he surprised Adam
in his sleep and stole rib from him."
The Rabbits daughter overheard this
speech and whispered word or two in her
fathers ear, asking permission to answer
this singular opinion herself. He gave his
consent.
1 The girl stepped forward, and feigning
terror and dismay, threw her arms aloft in
supplication, and cried out My liege,
my liege, justice---revenge!"
What has happened?" asked the
prince.
A wicked theft has taken place. she
replied. " A robber has crept secretly into
our house, carried away silver goblet,
and left golden one in its stead. 2
What an upright theft!'' exclaimed
the prince. g Would that such robberies
were OF more frequent occurrence!s
Behold, then, sire, the kind of q thiei
that the Creator was; he stole rib from
Adam, and gave him beautiful wife in.

DoEs GIANT FARMING PAY.-Three
years agoa company of English capitalists
offered 1900, 900 for the Sullivan farm, in
Ford county, Ill. The same property has
since passed into the possession of the Hon.
Hiram Sibiey of Rochester, Il. Y, who
values his interest at $500, 900. Part OF
the decline in value OF the Sullivan farm
may be attributed to the general business
depression, but larger share must be as
cribed to the poor success Of giant farming.
MIR. sibley, the new proprietor, is fitted by
nature and education to carry on q work Of
this description, but he is one man in 10.
600. Farming on a large scale depends fol
success on the elements that are essential to
70 the safe and prosperous conduct Of a
large business, and also requires familiarity
with details Of farm work.
Since the Sullivan farm, embracing 40,
600 acres, and the Cayuga county, N. T.,
farm of !. 900 acres, are now under one
management, we may have an opportunity
TO determine what brains can accomplish
in the highest departments of agriculture
