An Insane WOman's Deed.

For many years Mrs. Sallie Faddis has lived in Little Beaver, Pa., for some time past her only companion being her daughter Rachel, about twenty five years of age. This daughter has or a long time manifested symptoms of in sanity, at times being extremely vio- lent. Her violent spells were of rare occurrence, however, and although Mrs. Faddis had often been advised to have Rachel placed in an asylum she always refused, saying that as long as she could manage her she preferred to have her homo.
 A few weeks ago the old lady was missed from her customary rounds, and call was at once made at her house. There was no one to be found there but Rachel. She was asked where her moth CT was, but the only reply she made was "They took her to glory"
 Fears were at once entertained that the old lady had been made away with by Rachel. A woman living near Mrs. Faddis' said she had heard loud screams at the latter's house night or two be- fore, but as Rachel was in the habit of occasionally indulging in loud lamenta- tions she thought nothing seriously of the matter. The country was searched for days, but no signs of the remains of the missing woman could be found. At last visit was made to the house, Ra- chel having been removed to other quarters. The stench that pervaded the rooms was horrible. Disinfectants were scattered about the place, and two men, stimulated with brandy, made search of the house. They found closet in one corner of tue house, the existence of which had not been known by any one before. In this they found the remains of Mrs. Faddis. The head was severed from the body, which had been chopped into numerous pieces. There is no doubt that Rachel, in one of her violent moods, overpowered her mother, killed her, and then cut the body into pieces to stow it away in the closet. Mrs. Fad dis was sixty years old.

Punished for Piracy.

Most of the sentences in the case of the German ship Anna have been carried out at Hong Kong, showing that the Chinese government, when it does make up it's mind to punish it's people, goes to the furthest extreme. Two of the mnrderers were apprehendcd and exc cuted, and rewards are offered for the capture of the others, who escaped. Those who looked on while the slaughter was done, but took no active part, have been beaten and banished. Several houses on the islands where the plum dered cargo was concealed have been burned by the public officers. Tho coolies who moved the cargo from place to place have been logged. The mill tary officials of the district have keen dismissed from the service and deprived of their buttons; likewise the civil au- thorities for their failure to act expedi- tiously. The full money compensation has been given for the stolen property, and nothing remains now to be done but the burning of the junks in which the cargo was transferred from the wreck of the Anna to the shore. The evidence upon which these sentences were passed tends to show that the murders were not originally prompted by piratical inten- tions, but were in revenge for brutal treatment to the men by the captain and mates of the Anna.

An Esquimaux Family.

A New London (Conn.) correspond ent of the Springfield Republican writes: If not too weary with all this you will like to visit an Esquimaux fam fly about mile from the fort. The captain of the Polaris brought some of these artic people here, few years since, and this is now their adopted home. Eleven have been brought here, but six have died and three have return, ed, leaving only Ebebing and Tukiitoo, whose English names are Joseph and Hannah. Hannah receives her guests with much cordiality, and talks freely of her northern home. She resembles the Chinese and l suppose the Esquimaux belong to that race. When called she was dressed in buff calico and was quilting. She has sewing machine, which she uses nicely. She makes fur garments with wonderful skill. She speaks English quite we'll, and reads un- derstandinely. Joe is her husband. They lost their only child when it was about two years old. Its name was Tuckilickartar, which means little but teray. Captain Buddington had it's photograph taken after it died. They had an adopted daughter named Ishil- atoo, but they called her Funny, which means little girl. Funny died when she was ten years old. When going to school one very warm morning, she ran rapidly to oveltake her companions, and, being very fat, she became heated, and, sitting down in the shade, contract cd cold which brought on consump- tion. They suffer much here from the cold, as they have been accustomed to dress in furs, and complain that their clothes are full of little holes that let the wind through. Hannah finds Connecti- cut housekeeping Q little difficult, but still succeeds very we'll. asked her if she was ever homesick, and she said: |" No this me home now" The other Esquimaux names are Hujesse, Eugnac, Cudlargo, Shuuarpignite, Abbe, Dose song and Italoo. They seem quite sus- ceptible to religious impressions, and Hannah reads the Sabbath-school books
 with much interest. As few of that na- tion have ever been brought to this country deep interestattaches to them, and they are anxious for the elevation of their countrymen.

AnecdOte of the Telegraph.

Years ago, when the electric telegraph was new, and mystery to the masses, there came trouble one Saturday night iu the Bank of England. The business of the day had been closed, and the bal ance was not right. There was deficit of just G100. This is fearful thing in that establishment. Had it been hun dred thousand, or Q million, there could not have been greater commotion. It was not the money, but the error, that must be found. For some of those clerks there could be no sleep, until the loop had been taken up.
 All that night, and all day Sunday, a squad of clerks were busy. It seemed as if the Old Lady of Threadneedle street would go crazy over that 910O. It was surely gone from the vaults, but no postmark told where.
 Meantime a young cleark, on Sabbath evening, vending his way homeward from one of the gardens, fell to thinking about his busy companions at the bank, and suddenly suspicion of the truth flashed across his mind. On the follow ing morning he hurried to his post of duty, and told the chief what he sus- pected. The mistake might have oc- cured in packing some boxes of specie for the West Indies, and which had been sent to Southampton for ship ment.
 The chief acted upon the suggestion. Hero was an opportunity to test the powers of the telegraph. Lightning against steam, and steam with eight-and- forty hours the start. Very soon the telegraph asked Q man in Southampton |: " Has the ship Mercator saileda" The answer came back "Just weighing anchor" "Stop her, in the Queen's name !" flashed back the lightning. "She is stopped" was returned. "Have on deck certain boxes (marks given), and weigh them carefully, and let me know the result" telegraphed the chief.
 The thing was done, and one box was found to be somewhere about one pound and ten ounces avoirdupois heavier than it's mates-just the weight of hundred golden sovereigns
 "All right Let the ship go p
 And the West India house was debit ed with the 910O, and the Old Lady of ThreadDeedle street was happy. She had proved the electric telegraph to be Q great thing.-Ledger.

Tho Limit.

A colored man living in Detroit has a sign on his house reading: "Meals for eight cents" The sign attracted 0 hungry man of col3r the other day, and he stepped up and said he would have a dinner. A slice of bread and a bowl of water was placed on the table and he was told to draw up.
 "What sort of meal is that2' he de- handed, drawing away instead of draw ing up.
 "That's an eight cent meal, my friend"
 "I ain't preparedto to square off in front of no such dinner," growled the stranger, getting out doors.
 :" It isn't no festival, that's true," re- piled the proprietor, "but when the price is limited down to eight cents you must expect the food will be limited down to about two courses. There's bread, and there's water, and if you want to make it ten cents I'll put on the pepper box and knife and fork. "- Free Press.

Definition of Law.

The Newark Daily says: A promi- nent lawyer recently gave the following dehnltion ot the law: It is simply an effort to shift the responsibility of the decision. The jury of laymen, befog ged by the pleadings, make up their verdict with the understanding that if there IS anything wrong about it the su- preme court, composed of lawyers, will make 1t all right. The supreme court settles it according to law, with the un- derstanding that the laymen of the court of appeals will adjust the equity. The court of errors order new trial, and 1t comes back to where it started and begins again with the jury of lay men. It IS simply a mill that goes round and round and grinds up the property of fools.

Dr. Pierce, how ever, does not wish to plsco his Golden Medi- cal Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent nostrums by recommending it to euro every diseaee nor doos he 80 recommend it but what ho does claim is tIis-thst there is but one form of blool disease that it wi not cure, and that disease is cancer. He docs not re- commend his discovery for that disease, yet he knows it to be the most searching blood cleanser yet disc overed. and that 1t will free the blood and system of all other known blood poisous, be they animal. vegetable or mineral. The Golden Discovery ia warranted by him to cure the worst forms of skin disesses as all forms of blotcht 8, pimples and eruptions, also all glandular swellings, and the worst form of scrofulous and Liberated sores of neck, legs or other parts, and all scrofulous diseases of the bones, as white swellings, fever sores, hip, Joint and spinal diseases, all of which belong to scrofulous diseases.
