A Mysterious Boston Murder.

BOSTON, March ia death by
shooting as mysterious as was that of
Lane, the merchant in Dorchester, two
or three years ago, occurred in this city
early this morning. Jacob Hirschfield,
who lived on East Chester Park, and
also carried on large tailoring bust
ness on Harrison Avenue, was found
shot in the entry-way of the latter place
at O'Clock. His vest was unbutton-
ed, and the pistol, which lay by his
side, had been held so close to his body
that the clothing was burned. He was
shot twice, one ball piercing the left
and the other the right lung. He ex-
pired in about fifteen minutes. When
the body was found there was in the
mouth, pushed down the throat as far
as possible, handkerchief, upon which
the teeth were so closely shut as to rem
der it almost impossible to withdraw it.
His wallet, empty, was found halfway
down the stairs, indicating that the man
was followed by some one, who knew
his habit of coming to his shop early,
for the purpose of robbery, and proba
bly, there were neither blows nor words
heard before the pistol shot. Mr..
Hirschfeld is known to have received
considerable sum of money from
Minor, Bail & Hackett yesterday, and
had agreed to pay his hands and sew
eral other debts this morning. The
barkeeper occupying the ground floor
says that there was an interval of about
three minutes between the two shots,
and that no scuffie was heard, although
the staircase partition is very thin, and
the ascent or descent of persons over
the stairs is almost always heard be-
low. The police profess to believe that
the man committed suicide, as he had
been financially embarrassed for some
time, and was much depressed. Three
dodgers in the house have been arrested
on suspicion.-ChicagO Tribune.

"By Their Works We Shall Know

The Irishman who thought The druggist
stingy because the emetic was so small, is
only surpassed In his parsimOniOus drOllery
by those who peTsistently adhere to the use
of those nauseating, disgusingly large and
drastic pills, while DR.. Pieree's Pleasant
PurgGtiOe Pellets, which are sugar-cOated,
and little larser than mustard seeds, will,
by their steady and gentle action on the
liver, correct all torpidity, thus permanently
overcoming constipation. In South Ameri-
ca they have almost entirely superseded all
other pills, and are relied on fully by the
people, and often used as preventive Of the
various affections of the stomach, liver and
bowels, so prevalent in that climate.

How the Queen Opens Parlia-
ment.

On Thursday, February s, Queen
Victoria opened Parliament in person.
The day was unusually fine, the bright
sunshine lighting up the dingy London
streets, and calling out thousands of
people to see the royal procession.
There were six state carriages, each
with six horses covered with gold and
black harness, and red silk rosettes.
The Queens own carriage was drawn
by eight cream-colored horses, with
blue and brown trappings, and was
surmounted by gold crown, and an
additional window had been added by
her Majesty's special desire, which gave
the spectators still better view of the
Queen and her two royal daughters, all
of whom wore minever cloaks. This
royal state coach, by-the-way, has been
recently Recommended. 1t was built
in 1861. We say built; for the body of
the coach is "a feet long, eight feet
three inches wide, and u feet high. A
detailed description of it would occupy
too much space in this paragraph.
Awaiting the arrival of the royal cor
tege in the House of Peers was dis
tinguished assembly-richly attired
ladies, peers in their ermine and scar
let, the Lord Chancellor and the Judges
in the glory of legal wigs and scarlet
robes, foreign ambassadors in mag
nifcent dress. The gathering of
peers was one of special interest,
for it was the first occasion on
which the Prime Minister took his seat
in the Upper House as Lord Beacons-
field. The Prince and Princess of Wales
were first or the royal party to arrive.
The Queen was received with marked
honor. Every one rises as the Queen
enters the House of Lords. Very slow
ly, in grand procession, preceded by
the crown and the sword of state, borne
by high dignitaries, she ascends the
dais, and stands for moment in front
of the throne, where her robes of state
have awaited her so long. She bows
three times, and then the Princess Beat
rice and Princess Louise arrange the
ermine and velvet about her as she
takes her seat. The dais is crowded
with high functionaries, and for full
five minutes there is a breathless 81
lence. Then the House of Commons is
summoned; the Lord Chancellor, ia
obedience 10 the Queens commands,
reads her speech; and the grand cere-
mony is over. The Queen descended
the steps of the throne, extending greet
ings to some members of the royal fam
lily, bowed to the House, and passed out
as she had entered. And presently the
loud cheering in the streets indicated
that she was on her homeward journey.

The Present Grand Vizier.

Edhem Pasha, the new Grand Vizier,
is not a good-looking person, if we may
trust his portraits. Two little eyes,
turned up, lively and cruel; lips fine
and pressed together prominent cheek
bones, following out about thin nose
two large bitches which accentuate a
perpetual grin; chin whose acute an
giles are outlined under sparse beard,
and terminating face strikingly lean
and yellow; person who resembles a
combination of the cat, hyena, and
vulture. Otherwise he is Greek Tur-
keyfied. He was boy ten years of age
in 1922, when the Turkish hordes of
Mahomet III. raYished the beautiful
island of Chios. He was taken as a
slave to STEAMBOAT, where he was sold.
From harem to harem he went until at
tached to the seraglio of the famous
Chosrew Pasha. Chosrew discovered
the diabolical intelligence of his slave
and conceived an affection for him. He
freed him, sent him to Paris to the
School of Mines, where he was entered
with strange name, and he finally be-
came tutor of French to the young Sui
tan Abd-ul-Medjid. He afterwards rose
rapidly, became Minister, Ambassador,
and is now Grand vizier.-New York

Thousands Of Amdaxit..

Many having used patent and prepared
medicines and failed in finding the relied
promised, are thereby prejudiced against all
medicines. Is this right? Would you con-
denim all physicians because one failed in
giving the relief promised? Some 90 to
California in search of gold, and after work.
ing hard for months and finding none, return
home and say there is no gold there. Does
that prove It? Many suffering with Catarrh
and pulmonary affections have used the
worthless preparations that crowd the mar
ket, and in their disappointment say there 10
no cure for Catarrb. Does that prove it,
Does it not rather prove that they have failed
to employ the proper remedy? There are
thousands of people in the United States
who can make an affidavit that DR.. Sage's
CatarTh Remedy and DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery have effected their entire
cure. Many had lost all sense Of smell for
months, and pieces Of bone had repeatedly
been removed from the nasal cavities.

A YOUNG man asked if he can "get
married and live on a salary of So q
week" Well, let's see. Say rs cents
a week for cigars, 81 for billiards, 81
for the theater or concert, 20 cents for
beer, 50 for house rent, 50 for market
ing, So for clothes, and 81 for inciden-
tails; total, S13 40. No; we don't think
he could live on Sc week, unless he
and his wife would be willing to ferego
the luxury of clothes and victuals, and
move every month few days before
the rent comes due. Better not get
married until his salary is raised to 81
week-unless his intended wife is
milliner or dressmaker.
Mr.. JENKINS, while deliberately de-
scribing the dress and appearance Of
Mrs. Hayes, has singularly omitted all
detailed account of the Presidents APP
pearance. We may briefly say that he
wore claw-hammer coat, cut low in
the neck and with place in the tails
to put his handkerchief; white vest; 8
pair Of black two-legged pantaloons,
held in place with pair of green
striped suspenders with nickel-plated
buckles, bearing the well-known brand
of Raab Brothers, Burlington; low
shoes and white socks, pinned to the
lining of his tr-srs to keep them from
slipping down. He looked lovely, and
was the belle of the ball, the center of
a circle of admiring friends with petit
tons in their pockets.-HaVk-eye.

OleOmargarine.

A few years ago the reported discov-
cry of process whereby animal grease
of the cheapest kind could be convert
ed into a superior quality of butter Gre
ated quite stir in the newspapers and
among customers. Afterward several
lawsuits in California and in the Allan
tic States, in which some of the leading
operators in the manufacture of Oleo-
margarine, as the artificial BITTER was
called, figured as defendants, and
where stockholders in oleonargarine
manufacturing companies appeared as
disappointed spectators who had lost
largely of faith in human nature, and
of money invested in the manufacture
of the new substitute for the most i'm
portant product of the legitimate dairy,
led to the belief that the olemargarine
manufacture was a failure. But the
proceedings of the National Butter and
Egg Association, which held its fourth
annual convention in Chicago last week,
shows this supposition to have been
unfounded. .Atthis convention one of
the speakers said that the-fraudulent
butter was making such serious inroads
upon the trade that it became an i'm
portant question how to get it out of
the market. One firm in this city, he
said, was making 1880 frkins per
week of the stuff, which was sold to no.
tells, restaurants, and boarding houses,
and the worst of it was that much of
the fraudulent substitute was sold as
the product of the Western creameries.
The manufacture of this article was ex-
tending into Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky
Indiana, and California, and as it was
generally sold and bought as pure but
ter, the convention sensibly came TO
the conclusion that the only effective
way to combat its further introduction
would be to raise the quality of the
genuine product of the dairy to such
standard that it would be impossible for
any one to mistake the imitation for
real butter. -NelO York Sun.

Teaching Children the NewsOf
the Day.

Miss Mitchell, teacher of First Gram
mar Grade in the Washington School,
Pittsburgh, Penn, has introduced a
new and brilliant feature in her school
exercises. 1t consists of discussion
of the news of the day between the pu-
pills and teacher, the first half hour of
the morning being devoted to that ex-
ercise. The words, " The BUlletin,"
are drawn on the black boards in large
German text letters and Immediately
below, in newspaper style, are head
lines similar to those employed by daily
papers in giving the points of the most
important news, and then each head
line is taken up by the school, and a
general interchange Of views takes
place between the teacher and pupils.
The Bulletin is the daily paper of that
room, and an editor is elected by the
school every month, whose duty it is to
examine the Pittsburgh papers every
morning, and to write down on the
blackboard, before school hours, the
points for discussion, to give a head
line resume of the news of the day, as
it were, and if the editor exhibits ca
pacity for the work entrusted to him,
he is often reelected to his high posi-
ton. At the time of the visit of
the representative of the Weekly,
Fred Wallace was the editor, and it
was ascertained that he gave entire sat
isfaction. OF course the discussion does
not take in news of every description,
but only of the most interesting char
acter. 1t includes the Proceedings of
Congress, Foreign News, Editorial
Topics, Local News, ETC., etc. This
exercise is regarded as part of their
school work, and is entered into by
every pupil with the greatest possible
interest, and many of them, whose
parents can afford it, purchase a paper
every morning and study its entire con-
tents, just as they do their grammar,
their geography and arithmetic. By
means of the Bulletin every scholar
learns the important news of the day,
and is enabled to understand the vari-
Gus great questions which agitate the
public mind. The value of an exer-
else of this kind is beyond description,
AID it is hoped that it will soon become
an established custom in every public
school in this country '
. Miss Mitchell is a young teacher of
great capacity, and as the pioneer in
this branch of education deserves
special honor and Communication

A YOUNG fellow, who fell in love with |
a girl at his clearinghouse at Flush
ing, L. l., went crazy because neither |
she nor her friends wanted him, and
amused large crowds, daily, at dinner
time, by crying, "cabbage, turnips,
hash," before the door. Then he wrote
a play, "The Village Hash-house,"
and, to get the true scene, placed a
peanut seller and banana peddler be-
fore the house, nailed q sign with
"Hash"i in large letters to a tree, drew
a gaming crowd and got a photograph
er to picture the group He was so
funny that nobody would arrest him,
but in an evil hour he tried TO cowhide
an editor for calling him a lunatic,
and is now on his way to an insane
asylum. !
