At the Centennial.

Up to the present time, says a Phila-
delphia correspondent, only seven gov
ernments have either erected or intima-
ted any intention of erecting buildings
within the grounds OF the Centennial
exhibition. These structures are in.
tended to be used a. Offices by the COM
missioners Of the several countries, and
I fancy, moreover, that in erecting them
there was also desiret to show oordiality
OF cooperation and sympathy with the
American people. Whether this latter
idea be correct or not cannot we'll be de-
termined, but it is certainly curious
coincidence that the governments who
have been the most hearty in acceptance
have been most prominent in building
these elegant little structures. These
are the British government, the German
empire. the Spanish kingdom, the
Brazilian, the Swedish, and the Japanese
countries. The Austrian bakery is, !
am informed, private enterprise, and
there will be no government building
erected for the representatives of the
kaiser. Neither will France or Russia
send any workmen to Philadelphia or
build any official quarters for their COM
missioners. It was notorious from the
first that Russia did not intend to CO
operate very heartily, and there is, there
fore, no disappointment at the absence
of any miniature Kremlin from the ex-
grounds. But I must confess
my surprise that our gallant friends, the
French, who will in all probability reap
more pecuniary benefit by the sale of
the things sent than any other nation,
have omitted to lend their efforts to
beautify the place by the erection of
some pretty villa or pavilion.

Reviewing q Murder Case.

The apparent motives of Rubenstein's 3
crime are sufficiently out of the ordinary
course to demand notice. The break
ing of the sixth commandment in order
to conceal breach of the seventh is
only too common a crime in modern
society. But from the ordinary forms
of that offense against nature and
morals no people shrink with greater
loathing than the Jewish race. Igno-
rant and, to some extent, debased as
Rubenstein's victim may have been, the
man who had worked her ruin had GER
tainly no such power over her as to in-
duce her to become party to the crime
OF infanticide. On one side, therefore,
Rubenstein was confronted with the GER
tainty OF detection in an offense which
carries with it greater weight of shame
among the higher circles of what we
call Christian society. "The adulterer
shall be put to death" is the brief but
decided command of the Levitical law.
Something Of the old Hebrew sternness
clings around the mass Of Rabbinical
sophistries and superstitions which
stand to the ordinary Polish Jew in
place of religion. To escape the social
and religious exclusion which would
have attended the revelation Of his sin,
Rubenstein resolved to hide it away by
the commission of the highest crime
known to our law. The killing of Sara
Alexander was a brutal and heartless
murder, but it was the crime of man
and superstitious as he was
standing higher in the scale of moral
than three fourths OF those
arraigned for capital offenses.

A Hrightful Night Adventure.

Samuel Erb, living in East Pennsboro
township, Pa, was returning home at
night. He was seized, stripped, robbed,
bound and gagged. He was then sent
home.
The thieves also took their leave,
going toward Harrisburg. The feelings
Of Mr.. Erb can be easier imagined than
described, as he walked home through
the keen air. At his gate he was met by
his dog. Failing to recognize his mas
ter, he kept barking and swapping
through the pales at his legs. He could
not speak for he was gagged.
Mrs. Erb being aroused by the noise,
looked out the window, and seeing his
white figure dancing in the moonlight,
thought it was ghost, called her faith
er, Mr.. Henry o. Boozer, who was stay
ing with her at the time, who came arm
ed with the shotgun, and, opening the
door, he called of the dog. He then
desired to know the mission of one in SO
strange AL attire. Never was man more
willing to speak, or more unable than
Mr.. Erb. As the only reply was few
mods of the head, accompanied by as
many jumps with the feet, Mr.. Boozer
then brought his weapon to his shoul-
der, and taking aim at the supposed
ghost demanded it to speak Immediately
or leave the premises. With this he
coupled the promise that failure to
comply would cause him to fire. Mr..
Erb was now in a great dilemma. Speak
he could not. If he stayed he would be
shot, and if he went away he would
freeze. In fact he was nearly frozen al
ready. He turned to go, and, as he did
so, his wife saw his arms were tied on
his back. Telling her father this, that
gentleman called to him to come back,
but kept the gun pointed, saying as long
as there was no evidence Of hostility,
there need be no fear. Mr.. Erb tremb-
lingly obeyed, and on drawing near was
and taken in and cared for.
It was some time before Mr.. Erb could
give an account of what he had suffered.
He says the robbers were white men in
disguise, and thinks there is no posi-.
bility of detecting them.

Narcotics.

Sleep produced by narcotics or So
called sedatives, says the London
Lancet, is poisoned. Their use gives
the persons employing them an attack
of cerebral congestion, only differing in
amount, not in kind, from the condition
which naturally issues in death. There
is grave reason to fear that the real ma
ture of the operation by which these de-
leterious drugs, one and all, bring about
the unconsciousness that burlesques
natural sleep, is lost sight of, or wholly
misunderstood, by those who have free
recourse to poisons on the most frivolous
pretenses, or With none save the exi-
gency of morbid habit. Great response
bility rests on medical practitioners, and
nothing can atone for the neglect of OBJ
vious duty.

Mother Stewart In England.

Mrs. Stewart, better known as
"Mother Stewart" the originator of the
women's whisky war in the United
States, is at present in England, where
she is holding series Of meetings in aid
of the temperance cause. At a meeting
held in London recently, for the pur-
pose of welcoming her to England, Mrs.
Stewart made an address, in which she
gave an account of her work in the Uni
ted States. She regretted to say that
they had met with good deal of opposi-
tion and she could assert as fact that
in Indiana the Legislature was bribed
by the rich proprietors of saloons, and
others interested in the liquor traffic, to
the tune of $40, 900, to induce them not
to pass any laws against intemperance.
She had defeated licenses in Ohio, her
native State, on the eighteenth of
August, 1874, and had since obtained
enormous support.

In the Olden Time.

On March 20, 1879, Providence, R. L, ,
was burned by the Indians. At this
time the town contained, as nearly as
can be ascertained, about two hundred
inhabitants, and the principal settlement
was at the north end. In view of the
exposed condition of Providence, gar
rison was established there under the
command of Captain Arthur Fenner.
Roger Williams, through whose effort
the town was fortified, also held a COM
mand. When the Indians approached,
it is said Mr.. Williams, whom they high
ly respected, went out to meet them with
the hope of turning them from their pur-
pose, but in vain. When told that Mas
sachusetts could raise thousands of men,
and that as fast as they fell the king
could supply their places, the chiefs de-
family replied: "Let them come. We
are ready for them. But as for you.
Brother Williams, you are good man.
You have been kind to us many years.
Not hair of your head shall be touch
ed" They proceeded with their work,
and about thirty houses (some accounts
say twenty-nine and others fifty-four)
were destroyed, among them the house
of John Smith, the miller and also a
town clerk, who lived on the west bank
of the Moshassuck river, a short distance
north of Mill bridge. Several of che
houses burned were on the east side of
the road, south of the present North
street. Williams retired, seasonably, to
his house, situated on the north side of
Rowland street, and was spared. A
house in the vicinity Of the confagra-
tion, which escaped the general doom,
was the Whipple House, still standing
on Abbott's lane, which with its i'm
mense chimney, its projecting second
story (altered some years ago), and it's
interior arrangements, was fair speci-
men of the architecture of its period. As
most of the people had fed from the
town, no loss of lives is reported. John
Smith saved the town records by throw
ing them from his burning house into
the adjacent millpond, from which they
we're subsequently fished up, carried to
Newport and kept there until the war
ended.

Quite q Saving.

In nothing has the advance of practi-
cal science been more clearly evidenced
than in the extent to which substances
formerly wasted and lost are now re-
claimed and made to constitute an inn
portant element in the profits of the
manufacturer. One of these applications
consists in the recovery O. the sOapsuds
from the washing of wool in wooden fac
tories. These were formerly allowed to
run down the sewers and into the
streams, to the great pollution of the
latter; but in Bradford, in England,
they are now run from the washing
bowls into vats, and there treated with
sulphuric acid. The fats rise to the sur
face in mass of grease foot or more
in thickness, which is carefully collected
and treated in various ways, mostly by
distillation. The products are grease,
used for lubricating the cogs of driving
wheels in the mills; oleic acid, which is
worth about $3.50 per ton, and used as
substitute for olive oil; stearine, worth
S4OO per ton, etc. It is said that some
large mill owners are now paid from
81, 800 to s., 600 a year for these suds,
which q few years ago were allowed to
run to waste.
