The COW is a perpetual traveller and she in

away from the house as she can The
further the better, so that he may have
the more trouble finding her. She looks
on a brush fence as something that was
made expressly for her to 90 through, and
if there is one anywhere around she is

Management of Children.

.'See mamma. see what | have done ~
said little three-and-a-halfye year old Flossy,
as she held up to view the towering stem
of choice Amaryllis that l had been
watching and caring for so tenderly, and
now, when it was about to reward me,
this little mischief had plueked it
I looked at nv poor flower, then atmy
little white-haired daughters uptuTned
face. She stood eying me closely, know
ing that she had done wrong, and wonder
ing as to the result. [ mildly replied
Il see, daughter; LET mamma put it in
water, and as she ran out ! called after
her, ''Flossy, prefer that you should not
pick any more flowers off, but then vol
can do as you choose"
ssWell," said Mrs. B., who happened to
be in at the time, 'tand is that all you are
going to say to her? If one of my child
rem had done that, would have shaken
her well, can tell you" eyes, / said,
and the next time she would be almost
certain not to tell you of anything wrong
that she had done, knowing that punish
ment would surely follow. Ny dear Mrs
b., we make our children untruthful and
deceitful through fear. Now, suppose

me of the next flower that she breaks Off

sooner hide it, and then whea questioned

Sometime during the day, l shall talk to
her OF the flower, and l trust that the lit
tie lesson may not be in vain. She loves
flowers, and to gather their bright, gay
colors, is such temptation that she can
not resist it. Sometimes she makes sad
havoc, but SO long as she tells me it is all

every plant in the garden than that she
should tell me one lie."
''That sounds very well, said my caller
as she arose to go. "but then it is not my
way of doing. l suppose, however, that
we are all entitled to our own way of

children's sake, that it had not been her
way of thinking, knowing how unman-

right only through fear of the rod, not
from any sense of goodness, or love for

Over Niagara's Bridge.

New York Sun.
Six weeks ago an old man stood in the
MOrgue, quarreling with a middle-aged
woman over a corpse before them. The
woman, who claimed to be the dead
mans stepmother, insisted on burying
him, to which the old man, who was the
dead mans father, objected. Yesterday
afternoon a dispatch informed Supt.
Walling that the same old man had
leaped from Niagara Suspension bridge
into the water below. His name was
Dr.. Louis NJ. Stein. The corpse
over which the quarrel look place was
that OF DR.. Edward NJ. Stein, who poison
ed himself in Frenchs Hotel. The wo-
man, who claimed she was the wife of
DR.. Louis NJ. Stein, had at one time been
the latter's housekeeper, and travelled
with lfm rs such in Europe. Finally he
abandoned her, and no trace could be
found of him. When his son killed him.
self, the father suddenly appeared in this
citv,--the stepmother, who was also the
sons houskeeper, declaring that the old
doctor had only returned to secure the
dead man property, which was consid-
arable, he having been a surgeon in the
United States navy. The old gentleman's
story was, that he had been absent, and
returned just in time to hear of his sons
death. He was in poverty, and claimed
that he should have his sons property.
The result of these conflicting claims was
the quarrel at the dead-house, resulting in
the burial Of the body by the father, but
the awarding of the property to the step
mother under a will. While contesting
for the body of his son, Lhe father was
the guest of Prof John Weiss. Already
more than rs years old, and broken in
health, without the means OF subsistence
and too old to practice his profession, he
was cared for by his friends. His great
pleasure was in travel, and, while making
a short trip at the expense of his son Al
exander, he ended his life, as stated in
the dispatch from Niagara. DIR. Louis
Nj. Stein was graduate OF q leading
German medical college. He practiced
his profession for years in Poland, but
was finally banished forpOlitical reasons.
He came to America with Kossuth, as a
member of the latter's staff of physicians.
He practiced medicine in this city with
much success.

4 Murderer but no Legal Evidence.

From the Boston Commonwealth.
The murderer of the Joyce children in
the Busy Woods, West Roxbury, June
-, 1865, in all human probability, sleeps
in death in the small graveyard at the
easterly end of Galloupe's Island, Boston
Harbor where he died of smallpox in
1878. His age is there given, and his
age al the time of the commission of the
murder was % He was a resident OF
this city, and worked as a journeyman in
different parts of the city prior to the
crime, and was visitor at the house of
the grandmother, at the South End,
where the children stopped while in Bos-
ton. Taking to drink, he dufted away
from Boston. and was fouAd in Chicago a
few years after the crirle, where in one of
his maudlin periods, be confessed TO a
companion that he was the perpetrator of
| the deed. Upon coming to consciousness
he denied all that he had said, and no
further evidence could then be obtained.
His revelations were communicated to
our authorities, and two of our detective
force were sent to that city TO shadow"
| him. This was done thoroughly, and for
six weeks these experienced officers piled
every art TO find the truth. They became

dence, were with him frequently, and
heard from his own lips the confession of
his preparation of the double crime.
Yet he offered no corrOborating evidence
no clue bv which the trail could be
| followed-and when he was in his sober
moments would invariably deny all that
he had previously said. The revelations
thus made were communicated to one If
our ablest and best-known justices, who
was to pronounce upon the expediency of
an arrest. Evry effort was made TO gain
some corrObOrating testimony from him,
but without avail, not single circum-
stantial incident being vouChsafed which
would serve to strengthen his unsupport-
ed statement. Nevertheless, the time, the
prompting, the manner Of the atrocity
were in turn narrated, not only once, but
over and over again, and, In turn, in his
sober moments denied. The officers re-
luctantly gave up the case and returned
to Boston, after becoming satisfied that 1t
was useless to proceed further unless
some confederation was obtained. They
were both impressed with the conviction
that he told THE literal truth in his
drunken moments, and falsiiied when he
was sober. Suffice it to say, in conclu-
sion, that he drifted back to Boston. and
that during the smallpox epidemic of
1878, he took The disease, superinduced
bylis dissipated habits, and died and
was buried upon Galloupes Island, where
his grave and head-board may now be
seen. as they were by us ON Tuesday last,
and where We learned this remarkable
story.

Baby Katie's Adventure.

The Nyack express of the Northern rail-
road of New Jersey, which left Jersey
City at five o'clock one Friday night re.
Gently, met with a strange adventure.
The train consisted of seven cars, and in
them about three hundred passengers.
While near Kalster and while the train
was rafting along at forty miles an hour
the engineer discovered on the track a
little ahead of him, at about hundred
yards, small object which he believed
to be baby. He gave the whistle for
down brakes, and stopped his engine, but
the stoppage could not be made under
eighty yards. Meanwhile the locomotive
had struck the baby. Before the train
had come to standstill conductor Blau-
welt was on the ground looking for the
cause of the whisthng down brakes"
Soon he found the little one lying in
ditch in an unconscious condition. with
a deadly pallor overspreading its hand
some face He took it in his arms, be-
lieving it to be dead, toward neigh
boring house. The residence of the little
one was, however, soon made known by
the appearance of woman rushing in a
frantic manner toward the advancing con-
ductor. In another instant the mother
for such she proved 10 be--had snatched
the child from the conductors arms, and
had tenderly folded it in her own. The
infant was then taken into the house.
Her face was sprinkled with water, and
conductor Blauvelt famed her, and final
~ the little one opened her eyes to the
establishment of all present, and began to
cry. The next morning, Katie Sullivan
for such IS her name-ate big bowl OF
bread and milk for her breakfast, and was
in excellent spirits She had slight
scratch on her face and side TO show for
her adventure Katie is eighteen months
old and her father is a laborer. Some of
tie regular riders on the Nyack express
intend making Katie present ola silver
cup.

A New Operatic Star.

Mr. jennings London letter in the
New York World says: As wrote you
lately about the apparent decline of opera
in England, it is only right that should
record the sudden and unexpected revival
it has undergone at Her Maiesty's theatre,
owing to the appearance of new prima
donna, a Hungarian named Etelka Ger
ster. She only sang last Thursday night
for the first time, and already her fortune
is made-lucky woman She has jump
ed from obscurity TO popularity and great
wealth in less than a week. Scarcely
anybody except a few musicians who
know everything, had heard word about
her. and when she came on the stage as
Amina. in ''Somnambula, she met with
no reception whatever. 1t was very
different story before she got half through
her evenings work The audience At
once recognized the fact that q great star
had appeared, and twice more this week
has she had 10 repeat her performances,
and il may be safely said that her voice
is worth at least S250,0O0 a year to her
while il lasts. Who wouldn't be prima
donnal Madam Gerster is luckier than
any heiress of the day The moment it
was telegraphed over Europe that she had
made great success. engagements poured
in upon her from Paris, ST. Petersburg
and Vienna, in which city she is to take
up the repsrtoires hitherto filled by Patti.
