The WoMAN's SIDE.-John Aborns

as having left his bed and boerd, and
warning the public in the usual formula,
not to trust her on his account. Notices
Of this character often provoke o reply
from the women published. couchcd in
sarcastic terms, but that Of Mrs. Aborns
is different from any that we have ever
seen. She says she has lived with John
Aborns for ten years-the prime of her
life; has borne him six children, with all
the pains, anxeties, cares, and troubles
ipcident thereto has brought them up,
made all their clothing and her own, be-
sides making clothing and doing sewing

cooked ABOUT 10000 meals, set the ta-
Bile as many times, and cleared it off and
washed the dishes has spent between
10000 and $1,000 hours, Summer and
Winter, over a hot cooking-stove has
MIXED on an average three cows twice a

from it; has cleaned up and swept his
house over 10000 times has attended to
the poultry and often assisted in loading

OUR SENAToR.-On the 4th of March
the term of Senator Hagar will come to
an end. The President has called a spec
Ial session of the Senate, and unless Gov
error Booth resigns his position as Gov
ernor to take the seat TO which he was
elected, California will be unrepresented.
What his Exoelency's intentions are we
have not the least idea, but his duty is,
we think, quite plain. When seeking
the nomination for Governor he pledged
himself not to use the Office rs a stepping
stone TO the Senate, but to serve out the
time for which he is elected. How well
he has kept that pledge, we have seen,
and the farce Of holding on to his present
position while carrying his certificate of
United States Senator will not avail him.
No man can serYG two lnasters-nor can
the Governor do his duty in the double
capacity Of Governor and Senator and
drawing his pay in each capacity. The
spirit of his pledge to the Republican
Convention has been violated as much as
possible and the fact Of his retaining his
position for the few months left will not
mend the matter in the least.

While Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Daniels Of

it on fire and burning it to the ground.
All the children, seven in number, es-
capped the flames. On the following day
neighbor found them huddled together
in some bushes near the house. One, a
girl ofthirteen, entirely naked, was frozen
stiff and dead. Another was badly frozen
and is not expected to live. The ages of
the children were from one to seventeen

MALLEABLE GLASS.-One of the lost
arts has been rediscovered, if one may
believe the report that Frenchman, OF
the name OF De Ia Bastie, who has been
experimenting for six years, in connection
with learned chemist, has solved the
problem. The glass produced by him is
said to be as malleable as copper or iron,
and SO capable Of resisting the action Of
heat that it can be used for frying pans
and kitchen utensils as well as for lamp
chimneys, without risk of fracture. No
particulars that can throw any light upon
the proofs of manufacture have thus far
been given to the world.

AStrnnsc STORY Of The Sea.

The London Times Saturday, the | tn
of July. saws: "a private letter received
Yesterday in Sheffield, from one Of the
crew of the IRON ship Glance. of London.
which arrived in the Thames from Adel-
aide on Thursday, gives intelligence OF a
terrible event which recently occurred al
sen. On the nth ultimo the Glance
passed an outbound vessel bearing the
name af Jesse Osborne, and was hailed
bv the captain of the latter ship, who re-
ported that one of his crew had g n mad /;
that for five days the maniac had sta
toned himself ulott, and that nothing
could induce him 10 return to deck.
The captain further reported that the
mailman had armed himself with II ch!Scl
with which he was cutting the ropes, and
tbu, the boatswain had tried to bring
him down. The maniac, however, threw
n block ut the oatSwain knocking him
on the deck and breaking his arm and
leg. AS Il matter of safety on his vessel
and crew the captain of the Jesse Osborne
considered that 1t was necessary To- shoot
the maniac. and after some consultation
that course was decided upon. The
crew and officers Of the Glance were re-
qucstcI to represent as witnesses, aud III
their presence the man WAS shot with a
revolver. In consequence of the way IN
which he moved about the rigging three
shots had to be fired before he was fatally
injured. He fell dead on deck, and his
body was eventually thrown overheard.

CIenpRtrR's Needle.

From the London Times.
\ good deal of interest has been shown
here in the scheme for the transportation
home of the obclisk one of the so-called
Cleopatra Ncedlcs-presented to Eng
land forty years ago by Mohammcd Ali.
1t is fine monolith OF red granite sixty
four feet in length and seven feet in dl-
ameter. Its weight has been variOusly
estimated. but the maximum given is two
hundred and cighty-iour tons. 1t now
lies PROSTATE and parallel tc the sea, at n
Il S ance of twrnty-lour feet, on sandy
bank fifteen feet high, with nothing be-
tween it and the water save ruined sea
wall. The hicroglyphicS are in good pre-
srrvatiOn, and record that the obelisk was
erected at On CIlcl.opclis, near Cairo), by
Thothmes | l. about 1900 b. C., during
whose reign Egypt is recorded to have
placed its frontiers where it pleased. w
The lateral inscriptions record the name
and titles of Ramcsis ! !, known to the
Greeks under the name of SesOstrls), and
related how he had conquered all the ma
tions OF the world. 1t is worthy of note
too, that the IsraclitcS were in Egypt at
the time of the construction of this mon
umcnt. 1t is said to have been brought
to Aexardria in the beginning of the
Christian era. Various schemes have
been suggested for the removal OF the
stone, but the most feasible seems to be-
the construction Of a jctty to deep water,
50 as to convey it along an inclined plane
Of beams to Il raft, on which it might be
secured and towcd to England in tue sum
mer months.
