BosToN's LATEST HoRRoR.-The re.
markable murder case which is setting
Boston AMI vicinity in a ferment, scarce
ly receives as much attention as it de-
serves. A beautiful and ACCOMPLISHED
woman, Mrs. Margaret Bingham, was
murdered ut her own house in the day-
time, and when other persons were near
at hand but the circumstances of the
crime, and the chase and capture of the
criminal are not matters of common
notoriety.
The murderer was a tramp or bcggar;
his motive was plumber. He wanted
money to satisfy his appetite for drink;
he obtained it by killing Mrs. Bingham
IN her W house and seizing the small
articles of iewelry which she had about
her person. He made directly for n
drinking saloon and openly offered his
booty for sale. The police we're early
on the track of the criminal, and he
was arrested the third day after the
murder. He vas identified positively
by the saloon keeper to whom he had
offered the iewelry for sale, and on his
person was found a penknife belonging
to Mrs. Bingham.

Natural Resources of Egypt.

Egypt has but d single natural re-
source-tbe Nile. There is no other
river III the country; nor has this one a
branch or a"fiuent between its mouth
and the Nubian desert. Besides the
almost shelterless date-palms, there are
no palms, the few wooded parks planted
by order of MehemetAli, the ornamental
trees of the cities, of which Cairo and
its suburbs contain forty thousand, and
the mulberry trees raisedfor silk worms,
scarcely deserving to be mentioned in
this connection. There is little or no
rain, the agriculture OF the country
depending almost entirely upon the ir-
rigatiDg canals connected with the Nile.
Egypt proper consists of Lower, Mid
die, and Upper Egypt. 1t contains
lGO, 1866, 800 acres of area, and n popula,
ton, in 1871, Of 5,203, 405. The arabic
area Of Egypt is confined substantially
TO the inundable portion of the Valley
of the Nile. AS the river closely hugs
the hills and palisades on its right
bank, this area is nearly altogether on
the left. In some places the arabic
lands are eleven miles wide in others
they dwindle to a mere strip of bank.
For the most part, however, this area
extends westward from the river about
five to eight miles, where it is termin-
ated by the Libyan hills and desert.
Every year it is extended by the rise of
the river upon it's own bed. This rise
vas found to be, at the close of the last
century, 1 .9GO iDchca per century. If

MODERN MEDICAL DIscovERY.-It is
claimed that disease, with a few ex.
ceptions, has been conquered by the
research and intellect of enlightened
men; and yet a noted professor of New
York admits that "of all sciences, med.
icine is the most uncertain" and that
thousands are annually slaughtered
in the sick room" Certain "schools"
of medicine are il existence, one of
which "makes the patient ill.," in or.
der to claim a cure; and another adj
ministers "sugar-coated bread pills"
relying upon nature to effect her W
cures. DIR. j. Walker, of California,
an sold and respected physician, tried
both modes of treatment and both
failed. He then appealed to natures
curative herbs; and now enjoys rug
ged health. He has given the benefit
of his discovery to the world, in the
shape of Vinegar Bitters, and since
its introduction has sold a quantity
almost large enough to make a small
harbor, or to float the "Great Eas-
It's curative properties are at
tested by grateful thousands.

CURIOUS nj SCIENTIFIC.

BUDS do not form wholly from bark,
nor from any special part Of q plant,
though, OF course, in n general way
considerable regularity in fixed places.
They come ont any where along n willow
stem and, although they appear in
the apple from the axil Of a leaf, they
are formed anywhere along the surface
OF n root Of an apple when they are
p%ropngated from the roots, as by nur-
serymon they often are. Again, in the
horsc.chestnut n growth never appears
except from an auxiliary or n terminal
bend in ordinary cases; but if n branch
he cut off between the nodes an i'm
mense number OF young buds will APP
pear from the new cells which form the
new layer Of wood IN the exposed sur,
face. Some curious cases are also re.
corded by DR.. Masters, where buds are
formed in the pith of n potato. In
some instances several small potatoes
have been found inside large ones,
from buds which have developed there.
EVERY action and emotion depletes
the physical system. Milk, the first
food absorbed 10y men and animals, is
the only natural mixture, containing
all the elements of blood ave thu
coloring. Water constitutes three
fourths of the body. To work well
either physically or mentally, we mus
be fed iudiciously and thoroughly,
The worker must eat mixed food. Foot
properly administered stimulates the
system AS wine does, only more natu
rally. The long night hours empty thu
stomach, deplete the system, and chill
the body. On arising the physica
condition is low, and should be re,
cruited. If we lose time at early
morning in bringing the body mp to its
natural heat and strength, we cannot
regain it during the day. A healthy
man requires about one pound of MI,
triment per day to keep him in good
condition. While a workingman would
need daily five pounds of solid mixet
food, two and a half would be enough

A brisk aud driving trade;
Again, with thoughtful, earnest brow is trying
Some books dark lore 10 read.
Now, laden like rome little beast Of burden,
lie dragH himself along;
Mud now his lOrdly little voice lH heard IN
BoibtrrouH shout aud gOngi
Another hour IN spent Ia busy tOilinR,
Wlth hoop, aud top, aud ball,
Ana with n patience that N neycr-ihllnR,
lie trieH ana CDhqucrH all,
Iut sleep bt last O'crtakca my little foyori
And ON His mothers bfoatt,
I0yB thrown aside, the day's hard labor over,
lie sinks Ia quiet ret
And an I fold hUm 10 ny bosom, sleeping,
think mid gathering tears,
or what the futnro may IN store be HeellhBI
AZ work for manhOudB years.
Muet he with toll hin daily bread DO earning
IN The worlds busy mart
liiog bitter lesson every day be learning,
with patient, struggling heart
Or shall my little architect 10 building
Some monument u fame.
ON which, IN letters bright with glory gliding,
Tho world may read bis name?
Perhaps some humble, lOwly occupation,
But nharcd with sweet ]COntont
lofhhps n life IN lOitirr, prOldcr station,
In selfish pleasure spent.
prrchAnce these little rect may cross tho portal
Of leafning'E lofty fame;
HIS Network be to scatter truths Immortal,
Among the sons Of mGD.
