Who are very reluctant their fingers to soil;
Who are willing to take any genteeI position,

A Wife's DishOnOr and Death.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says:
Capt. T. Il. Smith, of the monitor Sau-
gus, and his wife and child, occupied
two rooms in the Sea Island Hotel at
Beaufort. Mrs. Smith was fine-look-
ing woman, and apparently lived in
perfect harmony with her husband.
But this state of things was soon to
come to an abrupt termination. On
Saturday morning Capt. Smith inter-
ceptcd compromising letters to his wife
from brother officer in the fleet. Out
ragged and indignant, Capt. Smith con-
fronted his wife, showed her the letters,
and charged her with infidelity. He
would take their child, while she could
return to her parents in Boston. In
the mean time he would have his effects
removed from the apartment they then
occupied to another portion of the ho-
tel. Mrs. Smith protested against this
action, and informed her husband that
if he exposed her in that way she would
kill herself. Capt. Smith replied that
she did not have the courage to take
the proprietor of the hotel, and told
him that after that day he would not be
responsible for his wife's board. He
engaged rooms on the other side of the
building, and had his trunks and other
effects moved into them. Later in the
day Mrs. Smith was found in her room,
the door of which was locked, in the
death agony, with frightful wound
through her body. She died in a few
minutes. The Coroner held an inquest
over the corpse short time afterward.
The jury returned verdict to the effect
that it was doubtful whether the de-
ceased had committed suicide or not.
There was no mark of powder around
the wound. The Grand Jury of Beau
fort County are investigating the mat
ter. The unfortunate victim was ma
tive of Boston, and about 81 years of
age. She leaves little child Is months
old To all appearances the deport-
ment of Mrs. Smith was irreproachable.

Religious Fanaticism in Egypt.

The Alexandria correspondent of the
Pail Mall Gazette writes: On the 18th of
May, at O'Clock in the afternoon,
Prince Mouroussi Ga Judge of the First
Court in Alexandria) was on a visit to
Count Zizinia, at Ramleh, little town
near Alexandria. The day had been
very warm, and both gentlemen were
availing themselves of the cool evening
by walking on the large terrace in front
of the palace and facing the sea. Sud-
denly the Prince thought he saw a man
struggling in the water. On longer ex-
animation both gentlemen discovered
that a young man was drowning before
their eyes. Immediately the Count gave
orders for help to be given to the unfor-
tunate man, who was visibly losing
strength, and servants were also sent to
the nearest guards stations on the
coast.
In the meantime Prince Mouroussi
undressed and threw himself into the
sea, with the hope of saving the drown
ing man. In spite of the violence of
the waves he was fortunate enough to
reach him, but just as he was going to
seize him by the hand wave separated
them, and the young fellow was driven
further off shore. By this time the
coastguards had arrived, and were en-
ergetically urged to give assistance.
But no. These worthy officials replied
''that 10000 Christians might perish,
but that they would not raise a finger
to help them" They also loaded with
the foulest insults the struggling men in
the sea, and the lookers-on were pow
erless to aid them.
Two Greeks at last cut off a boat be-
longing to the Schultz bathing establish
ment and fastened to the rescue of the
drowning youth and succeeded in saw
ing him and bringing him to the shore.
But here the Mussulman fanatics would
not allow the body to be taken from the
boat, nor would they allow medical at
PENDANTS to interfere. The guards sur
rounded the boat, and by force drove
away doctors and all others who strove
to burst their ranks to give their aid to
the dying man in the boat. These
guards went so far as to prevent the
Prince dressing himself, and took the
two Greeks prisoners. Toward 8 o clock
the Countess Zizinia sent to inform
Count Voidans of the affair. But when
he came it was too late. All he could
do was to deliver the Greeks from con-
finement, and Prince Mouroussi was al
lowed to dress himself.
The young Englishman who has thus
fallen victim to Mussulman fanaticism
is "a years of age; his name is Robert
Atkins. The family and all the wit
nesses of the scene are loudly asking
for justice against these guards.

Cutting the Queues of Chinese
Prisoners.

The San Francisco Post says: In
obedience to an ordinance of the Board
of Supervisors, approved on the 10th OF
April, Sheriff Nunan to-day issued in
structions to Head Jail-keeper Dougart
to have the hair of all male prisoners in
the County Jail cut to uniform length
of about quarter of an inch. The
ordinance made no distinction of race,
and the Chinese were therefore included
in the ordinance. AS it is popularity
believed among white people that the
culture of the queue is part of a China
mans religion, it was thought that some
of the prisoners would resist the attempt
to deprive them of their pigtails. The
tonsorial operation was witnessed by
several members of the press, and was
supervised by Sheriff Nunan in person.
The first victim to the anti-coolie zeal
of the City Fathers was All Foo, petty
larcenist, whom the prison van just
brought from the Police Court in time
to open the exhibition. Alfred Streeter,
professional barber, who is serving Il
term for sending a threatening letter to a
young lady, was intrusted with the
shears. The prisoner, who appeared
much astonished at the distinguished
delegation, was seated on rough
bench in the corridor and directed to
uncover his head. The order discom-
flied him more than ever, and he trem-
blingly took his seat, evidently inspired
with the belief that he was being pre-
pared for execution, for his eyes filled
with tears as he Embossed his queue and
allowed it to trail ON the floor The
operation was performed in few mo-
ments by the nimble fingers of Streeter,
and the denuded heather was permit
ted to retire after casting long sad
look at his shorn locks and fiercely
indignant one at the barber. Chung
Tung, another larcenist, was next oper-
ated on, but he manifested the utmost
stoicism, and never WINGED under the
terrible indignity. All Chu, All 10y,
BOY, and Chung Lung, weather-beat-
en-, vicious-looking old sinner, were
next led up. All Chu was first shorn,
while the other prisoners watched
the proceeding with intense
interest. All 10y was next
placed on the bench and then the oldest
culprit was invited to take the vacant

DIR. ScHENcK's PULMoN1c SYRUP. SCI

DR. OCHENCk'S fULMONIC OYRUP, SEA
WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PnLs.-These med
icines have undoubtedly performed more cIres OF
Consumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They compounded of vege-
table ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised. cures for Consumption
probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and, II taken freely
by consumptive patients, it must do great injury;
for its tendency is to conne the morbid matter in
the system, which, Of course, must make q cure
impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is war
ranted not to contain q particle of opium. 1t is
composed Of powerful but harmless herbs, which
act on the lungs, live-, stomach and blood, and
thus correct all morbid seeretions and expel all
the diseased matter from the body. These are the
only means by which Consumption can be cured.
and. as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way, it is obvious they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is
accompanied by full directions. DR.. Schenck is
professionally at his principal Office, corner Sixth
and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every Monday,
where all letters for advice must be addressed.

The True Medical Philosophy.

The remarkable cures of dyspepsia con
stipation, general debility, intermittent and
remttcnt fevers, nervousness, mental de.
spondency, and host of other ailments, by
that popular botanic invigorant and altera.
tive, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, prove that
20 oitaiize, not deplete, the sick. is the true
medical philosophy. Under the old system
patients underwent course of treatment
that often had the effect of exhausting their
few remaining energies. Drastic purgation
and the administration of violent remedies
with weakening reaction, were frequently
and most unnecessarily resorted to in cases
where invigoration combined with mild reg
ulative treatment was the sole desideratum
That this unwise mode of medication has
been to a great extent abandoned is in no
small degree due to the success which has
attended the peerless remedy above named.

soon as they come to boil. Then
pour off all the water, put them into a
stone crock, add l tablespoonful of mo-
lasses, little pepper and salt, and lay
upon them pound of nice salt pork,
well scalded. Then put over the crock
tight fitting cover, and bake in slow
oven II hours. When done they will
be brown all through, and every bean
will be distinct, without being dry.
ADVICE ABOUT PICKLING.-Do not
keep pickles in common earthen ware,
as the glazing contains lead and COM
bines with the vinegar. Vinegar for
picking should be sharp, though not
the sharpest kind, as it Injuries the
pickles. If you use copper, bell-metal
or brass vessels for pickles, never allow
the vinegar to cool in them, as it is
then poisonous. Add teaspoonful OF
alum and teacup of salt to each 3 gal
Ions of vinegar, and tie up bag with
pepper, ginger root and spices of all
the various sorts in it, and you have
vinegar prepared for any kind of pick
ling. Keep pickles only in wood OF
stone ware. Any thing that has held
grease will spoil pickles. Stir pickles
occasionally, and if there are soft ones
take out and scald the vinegar and pour
it hot over them. Keep enough vinegar
to cover them well. If it is weak take
fresh vinegar and pour on hot. Dc
not boil vinegar or spice above five min,

Yesterday morning as well-dressed

grounds thick-set and very determin-

| asked:
"Do you keep little store on Ora

"You are simply mistaken, ma'am,"
he said, waving his hand and starting
off.
"There's guilt-that proves It'll" she
shouted, making after him.
He saw her on his trail and he
skipped into the Hall and disappeared
from sight before she entered. She en-
tered all the rooms on the first floor in
her search, and when she realized that
he had evaded her she unrolled the
corset, slammed it against the wall and
remarked to the laughing crowd:
