deposit OF the green, vegetable slime

The gentleman's doctor informed him
that he had previously attended several
cases OF typhoid fever produced in the

warned householders of the danger to
health from vegetable patrescence In

to be lined on the sides and covered on
top with heavy coating of green scum,
which is nearly as poisonous and inju-
rlous to the quality of the water as the
discharge into it of the leakage of a
water closet would be. ALI of these
tanks should be cleaned out monthly or
quarterly. A few pounds of clean char
coal, in net bag, left in them, would
tend to check vegetable decomposition. -

A Fish Story.

A Florida correspondent OF the Atlanta
herald, In the course of all interesting
communication regarding Florida
fisheries, says aT6e BEST fishermen
In Florida are the pelicans and ospreys.
\ pelican consumes about peck of fish
a day. They flock about the straits and
inlets by thousands. Surprising there
are 1900. 900 peiicans In Florida-and
there are certainly more than that-they
would eat SOC, 600 bushels of fish
each day, or 1s2, $780, 900 bushels per
gear. The millions upon millions of
white and blue cranes, herons, curlew,
gulls, fishhawks, kingisher, and other
water fowls. deEour tho asands of bush
els of fish every t1enty-four hours. An
cracker estimates that 700,
600 bushels of fish day are required
to feed the birds of Florida alone. This
would make 225, 10000 bushels each
year. Add to this the billions of fish
swallowed sharks, bass and others, and
the sum total will reach nearly
1900, 900, 900 bushels destroyed by
feathered and fnny fishermen on the
peninsula in twelve months. At first
glance these figures appear enormous,

A Little Romance.

We hear of quite romantic affair in
private life, the parties to which reside
In the upper portion of this county. In
the year 1860 Mr.. - took to him
self young wife to adorn his house
hold. After living happily together for
four months, the igoung bride. without
any apparent cause, took notion that
''she wanted to see her mamma" and
left the husband solitary and alone.
Time rolled on, bat the recreaat wife
did not return to cheer his ,desolate
home until last Sunday morning. Thus,
after an absence of nine years, though
husband and wife lived within five or
six miles of each other, the wife wolun
tarily returns. It may be possible that
she learned of sacent visit to her
spouse to this place when the services
OF an attorney were secured to FLEA bill
of divorce on the groEnd Of desertion.
Our legal friend was seated at the desk
on Monday morning. drawing up the
bill in question, when e note was hand
ed him notifying him that his services
would not be required, as the wife had
returned.-Lunapkiae lGn.) Indepead-

traoroinary eloquence as preacher and
lecturer.
In 1843 he left the circuit, on &C.
count of the great inconvenience it en-
tailed upon him, and came to reside in
New York city. Since that time he has
chiefly followed the profession of a
public lecturer, in which he has met
with remarkable success. In 1857 he
visited Europe, and delivered lectures
in the principal cities of England to
crowded and delighted audiences. Mr..
Milburn has also been successful as an
author.
Mr.. Milburn has a large number o1
entertaining and Instructive lectures, 9
number of them upon prominent histo-
rical characters, such as Charles Lamb,
Patrick Henry, Alexander Hamilton
John Randolph. He is also a fine
elccutionist.

Rev. W. III. Milburn.
From Harper's Weekly.

The Rev. William Henry Misburn,
kno,yn wherever the English language
is spoken as the blind man eloquent, y
was born in Philadelphia on the 26th of
September, 1923. In early childhood
he lost the sight of one eye totally. and
the other partially. He was deter
mined, however, to obtain a good edu-
eaton, and fit himself for usefulness in
life: and his career affords remarka-
BILE example of the triumph of strong
will ever apparently insuperable obsta-
cles. - Time was.' he said, in an adj
dress delivered in 1866, 50 when, after
fashion, I could read, but never with
That flashing glance which Instantly
transfers a word, line, sentence from

petuatlon OF the child's process, letter

years, with the shade upon The brow,

leisure moments while employed as a
clerk in q store in Illinois, he fitted for
college, and passed through the four
years course with honor, but OF the
cost of his health. At the age of TWEEN

odist Episcopal Church; and in the
course of twelve years itinerancy he oc-
eupied fields in almost every part of the
Union. During this time he travelled
ever 200, 900 miles in the discharge of
his clerical duties, and everywhere i'm

An Italian Senator in Trouble.

The Italian Senate is about to sit IN
judgment on one of It's members, Sig.
Satriano, Neapolitan. Many years
ago he borrowed 10000 Evres from g
lady living Ia Cosenza in Calab-ia. Or
her demanding repayment two or three
years ago they had an interview. It is
alleged that the creditor brought re-
ceipt unsigned, and that Satriano got
possession of this, and on returning
home forged the lady's signature. She
sued Satriano, who produced the al
legged forged receipt. Experts hesitated
as to the genuineness of the signature,
but Signora Satrisno. who apparently
possesses property separate from her
husband, interviewed and paid the money.
This put an end to the suit, but the Sen
ate will now Investigate the matter.

markable darkness all over the North

''the dark day" At that time Che legis-

vailed that the day Of Judgment was at
hand. The House of Representatives
adjourned. A proposal to adjourn the

Love Song.
By A. NJ. WILMINGTON.


Dreaming of love and fame, sweetheart
I dreamed that sunbeam shone
For a wavering instant, and where it played
A hundred flowers had grown.
The sunshine fitting so soon away
Was smile thou hadst given me;
And the flowers that bloomed in the world for
aye
Were the songs that wrote for thee
Waking to love and life, sweetheart,
] saw fair flowers fade;
While still from tho measureless heavens
above
The pickering sunshine played.
The flowers fading from all mems sight
We're the songs they had heard from me;
And the light that illur1ined the world to them
Was single sm,le from thee!

Personal Sketch of Kelly, the Motor
Man

Philadelphia Letter to the New York World.
He is 45 years old. He looks about
So From manhood I find he has had
an affinity for mechanics. At IL he
made steam engine. At IA he made
an engine without eccentrics or steam
chests, which is still owned in Phila-
delphia by a gentleman VINO values it
highly. Varying from such tastes, he
spent several years compromising pre-
scriptions in drug store. For time
he assisted on a locomotive, and when
the locomotive got out of order and
baff1ed the engineer, made it rs good as
new. He has keen relish for music, and
skilled with musical instruments. Some
time ago no amateur could beat him at
the flute. He was the sweetest piccolo
player extant As he grew, his strength
became another noticeable thing. He
was and is superb gymnast. Not. long
ago he made everybody in the gymnasi-
UNI stare by lifting 1880 pounds. ALI
the while the mechanical instinct strug-
gled in him. He was continually ex-
perimenting and originating. I am
told that he has experiment ted with ell
most every known force, galvanic, mag
netic, hydraulic, steam, what not. He
has made in his time 100 different
models.
He has been blown into the water
from steamboat, has made two balloon
ascensions, lived out West in Minnesota
been rover. troubadour, reckless
seeker after something new and strange.
With his friends he displays his spirits
like fawn. He will toss cigar to the
ceiling and catch the right end in his
teeth, fling across the yard weight
that would break the backs of three or
binary men, vault fence, create the
devil in his workshop, and TRANQUILITY
toy with his tail while confuting and
anezing with an iron logic the opinions
of q grey-headed engineer who has
dropped in to make fun of the motor.
He is in fact queer fellow. I have
not yet made him out. He may be the
greatest discoverer or the greatest crack
brain of the time.

Strange BigamY.

Not long ago we mentioned that Caro-
line Souser, servant at the Delevan
House, Albany, had eloped with the
cook at the same hotel, named Simons.
The groom was married man and left
his wife In delicate health with family
to support. The guilty couple after
having been married by an Albany
clergyman, were arrested at Buffalo.
and when Simon's wife appeared against
him In court to give her testimony she
fell in dead swoon upon the floor. The
bigamous couple have just been tried at
the Albany Sessions, found guilty and
yesterday were sentenced. Caroline
acknowledged that she knew Simons
had wife living, and said that
she elopad with him only for
fun. She was sent to the
penitentiary for three years and Simons
for four. This is said to be the first
case of the kind that has ever occurred
In Albany county, and the second of the
kind that has ever occurred in the State.
Some novel questions arose In the
course of the trial, and the counsel for
the girl intend to move the case to the
general term of the Supreme Court.
Judge Van Alstyne said, in sentencing
the woman, that this was the first case
of the kind in his recollection, and that
the act was as serious Oh Caroline g part
as it was on that of Simons, the man
whom she was married to. He believed
that she had added perjury to her
crime, In court, and he understood she
had said, when Simons was sentenced,
that it would not be long in passing
around, and then she would have
Simons anyway.-1foy Times, Sept.
