Deathbed Repentance.

A remarkable instance of deathbed re-
pentance has just occurred in Butler
county, Ky. A man who was very i'll,
confident that his last hour was fast ap-
preaching, sent for magistrate, and
made confession that in the year 1870
he had murdered man named Charles
Mitchell, on Green river. His story
was that during the war he and Mitchell
had robbed q man named Davenport in
Warren county, and that in the division
of the spoils Mitchell had taken more
than his share. In revenge, the self
confessed murderer watched his victim
for years with the purpose of killing
him, and at last, when favorable oppor-
tunity presented itself, he shot him
through the heart. Mitchell when shot
was standing on q barge, and his body
fell into the river. 1t was never found
and though suspicious of foul play were
entertained, there wasno proof even of his
death. The man who fired the fata
shot, having eased his conscience by
confession, Immediately began to gel
better, and now promises to regain hi
health entirely. In the meantime the
officers of the law are preparing to ar
rest and prosecute him whenever he ha
recovered sufficiently to be safely re
moved from his bed.

What General Taylor Said.

l.. B. Mezrler, of Solano, CAL, in
speech at the Mexican veterans ban
quet at San Francisco, said Holding
the position of an interpreter on the
staff of General Taylor, at the battle of
Buena Vista, was seated on my horse
Immediately near him when Captain
Bragg dashed hurriedly up, saluted the
general, and reported: General, L shall
have to fall back with my battery or lose
it. Several of his guns had already
been dismounted, a large portion of his
horses killed, and about thirty of his
men were PROSTATE on the heath. On
receiving the report, General Taylor
turned on his horse and surveyed the
situation for few seconds; he required
no field glass, for the scene of the con
fiict was not far removed, and the reply
was: Captain Bragg, is it better t.
lose battery than battle9' This wa
the interview on which was based tn
famous slang phrase: A little NOR
grape, Captain Bragg, that was neve
uttered by the general to whom it wa
imputed. Captain Bragg returned t
his battery with renewed determination
and by the efforts of that officer and hi
command the tide of battle was turned
and the greatest victory of the war wa
won,"

A Lynch Law Case.

The papers have printed an account OF
the hanging of man named Schell, In
Bellefontaine, Ohio, on suspicion OF hay
ing murdered young woman named
Laughlin. His wife had accused him
of the murder, recounting story which,
Oh its face, was improbable in the ex-
IRENE while Schell himself, with the
halter around his neck, protested his
innocence, and declared that his wife
was in reality the murderer, having been
actuated to the crime by jealousy. The
Columbus News says that microscopic
examination of some hair found clutched
in Miss Laughlin's hand shows that il
was neither hers nor Schell's, but that il
corresponds with Mrs. Schells. Ii this
is true, there can be little doubt that the
unfortunate mans story was true, anC
that the murderous mob of "determi
ned, honest citizens" were guilty o
hanging an innocent man without judg
or jury, or even pretense of investiga
ting the question of his guilt.

Stanley in Africa.

Mr.. Stanley is evidently pushing for
ward his work in Africa with character
istic vigor. He reached the shores of
the Victoria N'yanza on the first OF
March last, and hisletter announcing the
fact is dated at Uchambi. This is I'M
doubleday Speke's Ukambi, and Stanley
has, therefore, followed the route pur-
sued by Spoke in 1868. The journey
from the coast, distance of seven hun
bred and twenty miles, was made in one
hundred and three days, which is very
rapid progress in Africa. The circum-
navigation of the Victoria lake has I'M.
doubtedly been already accomplished,
and Mr.. Stanley may very possibly be
now engaged in exploring the Albert
lake. The distance from one lake to the
other is only about two hundred miles,
and Stanley can make the whole journey
through the dominions of the friendly
M'tesa, King of Uganda. While IL
Uganda he will be but short distance
from Gordon's outposts, and the mex
news that we receive from him vii
probably come by way of Gondokor'
and the Nile.

An Army Of Tramps,

Says the New York sam: It is esti-
mated that there are now wandering in
the Middle and New England States one
hundred thousand tramps. By some,
whose opportunities should enable them
to form correct Judgment, this figure
is regarded as an underestimate. 1t is,
however, almost impossible to be accu-
rate. The vagabond habits of the class
preclude close knowledge of their num-
bers, and it is preferable for the pur-
poses of present consideration that
error, if existing at all, should not be on
the side of excess. Surely one hundred
thousand homeless, penniless, half
starved Migrants are enough to awaken,
in all human and intelligent minds, 6
feeling of intense commiseration. More
than this, the grayest apprehensions con
corning the influence upon the well
being of the more fortunate classes O.
society exercised by such an army o
vagabonds, impelled by desperate neces
slty, may well be awakened. In the ru
raj districts great anxiety already pre-
walls, not alone from the actual danger
to person and property to be apprehend
ed at this season from these sturdy men
dicants, but from fear that their nun
bers aud depredations will increas
greatly, as the requirements of their e1
istence are increased by the severity {

A Walking JeWelry Shop.

A correspondent says: One Of the
California princes was casually strolling
with his wife through Tiffany's iewelry
establishment in New York. The wife
called her husbands attention to fine
opal that was not yet set. 1t was taken
out of the case, and the value-$7, OOO-
was named as the price. 1t was pur-
chased in London, and had belonged to
Eueenie's collection. The lady said it
would make handsome brooch set with
diamonds. His attention was attracted
by something else, and she passed on.
Her husband then conferred with the
clerk as to the beauty of a necklace and
earrings in addition to the brooch. The
clerk was authorized to draw design
for an entire set of opals and diamonds.
The design when submitted was accept
ed. and the wife received surprise
present from her husband of the finest
set of opals and diamonds in the coun
try, The cost was mere trihe-$27, 600
1t wasa slight addition to the collection
she already possessed of large set o
diamonds which were too valuable TO-
her to carry to Saratoga. She felt, how
ever, no risk in wearing emeralds ant
diamonds, and excited the envy of thos
whose chief delight consists in the dis
play of gems that cannot be rivaled

Milk and its AdulteratiOn.

About forty per cent. of the milk sup
ply New York city comes by the Erie
railway; more than aquarter by the New
Haven road; an eighth by the Harlem;
tenth by the Hudson River and the
New Jersey Midland. The farmers on
these roads were glad to have their milk
tested. The watering is rarely done at
the farm. Just where it is done Is, OF
course, one of the most difficult things
to ascertain. If, for instance, it is per-
formed on a ferryboat crossing the Hud-
son in the dim gray of the morning, the
cans which hold water that is to be
added have that water colored with
enough milk to conceal the fraud at the
time. But after the adulterated fluid
has reached the stores and minor depots
from which it is retailed, its condition is
easily detected by means of the lacto
meter. The scale of this instrument
runs from zero to 100. If plunged il
pure water it sinks to zero; if put in first
rate milk at temperature of sixty deg.
it rises to 100; if such milk is mixed il
equal parts with water, the lactomete
floats at the halfway point, marking
sixty. In long series Of trials on tn
farms where New York milk is pro
duced, the officials of the health boar
rarely or never found healthy COW, n
matter how fed, whose milk when coole
to sixty deg. marked less than 100 wit
the lactometer. Carefully made trial
show remarkable uniformity anon
great numbers of COWS. OF course th
instrument only shows the density
the milk; if thickened with some foreig
substance it might raise the lactomett
to the standard height after watering
but the chemical examination of thrt
hundred samples of city milk has faile
to indicate that chalk or sleeps brazil
or anything else but water had bee
added

A Good Answer.

The conductor on the freight which
reached Clinton, Ind, from the West at
seven o'clock Wednesday evening, was
SO kind to an old lady when she got off
the train at De Witt, and he rendered
her SO much assistance in getting her
baggage to the depot, that a passenger
asked him if "the old lady was his
mother 2"
so, no." was the reply, "but she is
somebody's mother" This is the con
duct of true gentleman, and is IL
strange contrast with that of tire shoddJ
aristocracy which has grown up withll
the last few years.

Kindling Wood.

Now is the time for housewives to see
to it that there is in store plentiful
supply of kindling wood under cover, so
that the fall rains cannot reach it. Those
who depend upon wood for fuel have
little time enough, if they have not al
ready attended to the matter, to prepare
for the winters cold so fast coming to
us. Green and wet wood does not go
nearly so far as dry in heating or cook
ing, and its capacity to use up ones
patience is simply wonderful. A stick
in time will save nine. Sheltering
fuel beneath a snowbank in winter, and
under thunder-cloud at other seasons
OF the year, !" is the worst of economy.
