A Family Quarrel.

A Wisconsin paper contains the fol-
lowing: AS the head of family in
Utica was engaged in family prayers the
other morning, pa ct Of the family still
sitting at the breakfast table, discus
sion arose between grown up son and a
daughter of the household regarding the
merits of young granger who had kept
the young lady up to a late hour the
previous night. The young lady, get
ting somewhat worsted in the discussion,
aud at the same time losing her temper,
resorted to more convenient line Of
argument by play yfully emptyiug her
cup Of tea down the inside of her broth
er's shirt collar. The brother resolving
to fight it out on the same line if it took
two hours, deliberately got up from the
table, and tatiuga teapot full Of boiling
hot tea from TIE stove, turned the entire
contents over the girls head and face
The proceeding brought the discussion
to an abrupt close, and also the devotieDs
of that happy household. For several
days The gil has suffered untold agony
from the efie IFS of The scald, the hot tea
penetrating both eyes,and erysipelas set
ting in. The young lady will recover,
but stands good chance of losing one of
her eyes, and has already lost the greater
part of beautiful head of hair. The
old gent, in order to remove all occasion
for further bostilities and at the same
time insure immunity from interruption
of family devotions, has sent word to
the young man, who indirectly IVES the
cause of the little unpleas1utness, to
come apajn no more forever

How GrasshOpper Eggs are Destroyed.

Mr.. John @. Wise, one of the Grass
hopper Commissioners of Minnesota, and
editor of the Mankato RevieV, says, in a
recent number of his paper:
The Watonwan County Record says
that farmer of that county, living in a
locality where great many grasshOpper
eggs were deposited, went out one day to
dig some, and after an hours search,
without finding any, came to the con.
clusion that they had all decayed. Tell
ing his conclusions to neighbor, the lat
ter took him to a field where he said
there were millions, but after considera.
BILE digging, they found their search
equally fruitless. If the eggs had de-
cayed, we imagine that some trace of the
decayed matter would be found in the
ground. In our investigations in the
frontier counties we found nearly the
same state of affairs. The eggs were sup
posed to be deposited in the greatest
numbers, and surprise was generally ex-
pressed at the comparatively few found.
We are inclined to the belief that the
blaekbirds, which are unusually plenty
in the grasshopper districts, and the
prairie chickens, both of which dig and
eat the eggs, have destroyed them. TIE
blackbirds, especially, have great fond
ness for the eggs, dig them with great
energy, and consume large numbers of
them. A farmer of Watonwan county
told us the other day that every year his
corn has been badly injured by the black
birds, which light upon the stalks and
peck the kernels from the end of the ears.
This year they have not troubled him,
and upon investigation he found them
feeding upon the grasshopper eggs.
|. Another hopeful piospect is, that where
the eggs have no. been thus destroyed, in
many places tie coating surrounding the
eggs and constituting the ack, composed
of mucus matter, has been dissolved by
the damp weather, and the eggs lie un-
protected in the damp ground. Prof.
Riley, the entomologist of Mis- a'uri,
gives it, as his opinion that an un lsuaI
amount of dampness will destroy
their eggs, and that their present con-
dition in Minnesota is favorable for that
result.
While we do not desire to mislead the
people of the frontier, we do believe that
the outlook is decidedly hopeful. We
would urge upon them, where practical,
to plow and harrow shallow this fall
where eggs are deposited also to make
investigations of the extent and condition
of the eggs in their localities, and if any
unusual facts are noted, report the same
to this Office at Mankato.

Young Girls Chained in q Cellar will
Pigs and Beaten Almost to Death.
[Pittsburg Commercial. .


The following heartrending particu-
lars of the treatment received by two
helpless children at the hands of wo-
man, the wife of painter, in whose care
the children had been placed, is presented
by the Lancaster PA Intelligence, which
gives the name of the accused, in that
city. Persons who were eye and ear
witnesses, and who lived upon the spot,
received the information from the lips of
one of the children:
The children were confined for more
than year, for the NEST part in cellar;
where hogs were kept, and employed
there in doing work for their master; their
only food was piece of bread day with
out even water to drink, they supplying
that want from the hogs trough. They
had not lain in bed during the whole
time. Their mistress, who practiced
nursing, used frequently, without any
cause, to tie them up by the hands,
stretched out, to staple fixed in the
ceiling, after stripping them stark naked,
and whip them till her strength was ex-
hausted and they were covered with
wounds; after which she fastened their
bodices upon them, which, cleaving to
their lacerated flesh, eat into their bodies
till the human tigress renewed her
cruelties, which, we may naturally suppose
were every time more intolerable than
the preceding. The eldest, who is seven.
teen years of age, she scourged no less
than six times the Friday before the dis
covery, whereby, and by her former
usage, she was one continued sore, COW
cred with gashes from head to feet; her
flesh seemed purified and she appeared
rather as if cut with knives than whips !;
her head was swelled TO an enormous
size, her eyes imperceptible, and her
speech gone. An iron collar that WAS
about her neck had torn that and her
shoulders in a terrible manner. The
youngest, who is thirteen years old, is
likewise miserable spectacle. She de-
clared to an acquaintance of the writer
of this that sometimes after they had
been whipped, the blood which streamed
from their wounds formed puddles un-
derneath them where they sat in the
cellar. The man is said not To have
whipped them, but was only accessory as
knowing and permitting IL. When the
mistress went away she caused them 10
he chained up in that filthy place Till
her return, which they dreaded more
than death, which. would have put a
period to their sufferiugs. The eldest
son Is said to have assisted the mother in
whipping and insulting them.

Suicide by Fire.

The Wilmington IN. C.) Journal says:
A Young mau named Elias, who resided
with his mother on Campbell between
Fourth and Fifth streets, brought him
self to the most excruciating death that
can possibly be imagined. The young
man has been demented for some time
past, but even under the influence of
this mania, which would be worse at
times, and then again almost disappear,
he was usually tractable, and apparently
harmless to himself and others. On
Tuesday, however, he threatened the life
of his mother, but as night came on his
passions became pacified, and he retired
to bed as usual. About midnight his
mother, who slept in an adjoining room,
heard him moving about in his room,
and although the circumstance, once
caused her considerable uneasiness of
mind, she thought it best to remain
quiet herself, hoping that her son would
soon retire to his bed. But this was far
thest from his thoughts. He was then
making the awful preparations Tor MS
self destruction. The sequel showed that
he rose from bed, dressed himself, and
then saturated his clothing, hair, and
entire person with kerosene oil. Having
done this, he lighted match and ignited
his saturated clothing. Instantly he be-
came a pillar of flame. His mother, hear
inc him strike the match, arose also,
fearing that in crazy mood he might
set fire to the house. Her terror was in
describable when she beheld her son rush
out of his room enveloped in column
of seething fire, and she fled from him,
believing that he intended to carry out
his threat against her life of the previous
day, and end the existence of both OF
them together. 1T took but moment,
however, for the tortures of the flames
to exhaust him, as in his wild delirium
he ran around the house, and he fell to
the ground a blackened, charred mass ol
lifeless, broiling flesh.

FROM a paragraph published in the
Pal Nall Gazette, it appears that some of
the poor in England are solving the
CHEAP tenement question by occupying
old railway carriages as dwellings, some
of Them even letting seats in these vehi.
cles to dodgers. The matter was brought
into prominence by complaint entered
against widow by sanitary surgeon
for overcrowding her dwelling. This
dwelling was an old railway carriage, i'm
which the woman lived with her three
children and n lodgcr. IL was proved
that they were all in perfect health, but
the court ordered tho woman TO dismiss
her lodger. She complained that II
would be very hard, as the lodger had
helped her TO bring up her children since
her husband died, hut the court, how
ever, was inexorable.

81 heard my own heart beat like a
drum, as | sank, appalled,, upon sofa.
A voice reused me:
lis anything the matter with you,
madam p
1t was the voice of the hunchback
clerk.
"I have been watching you some
minutes from my Office window; you
seem painfully nervous
81 could only answer / was nervous.
So he sat by me, trying to interest me-
talking, talking; never had the remot-
est idea what the poor man was saying.
His voice was still droning in my ears,
when the sudden whistle of the boat an
nounced my proximity to home. The
whistle and the bell made a fearful din.
1t was past two o'clock, that witching
hour, when the boat landed in front OF
our home. The carriage driver, John,
was seen coming rapidly down from the
house with a lantern.
l could not wait for the boat to be
made secure, or the plank run out, or
hardly for John to get within reach of
my voice.
" All we'll at home, John2'
GO All well, missus,' rung out the ne
gro'ss CHEEKY voice, as we walked up to
the house, John and l, all alone.

"' All well, misuss.'
&c" And Mrs. D., John? l found
courage to say.
"'Oh, Lord missus, Mrs. D. died

Oh, Johnp cried.
"' Yes, missus; it was awful sudden
like, she was tuck with apoplexy at
the dinner-table Saturday, and never
knowed nothing afterwards----she died
peaceful like, afore day, Sunday"
Aunt Eliza rose with the words of the
faithful negro upon her lips, kissed us all
silently, and vanished from the room.
The last glimmering Of light had disap-
peared from the Goals and from the
hearth full of ashes, and so we girls
crept silently to bed.
