FLUTES.

Athen9us, in the Deipnosophists, re.
fers to the flute made OF The leg bone OF
the KID as an invention of the (Grecian
Thebans, and states that the flute ely-
phuntlne (IyoryO was first boreu among
the Ph9nician5. Flutes among the clas-
sic Greeks were also made of asses
bones, which are said to be remarkably
solid. They are supposed to have a lul-
ness of tone highly suggestive OF the in
tlated style OF their original proprietor
Dr. Schllemann, in his excavations OF
Hissarilk, discovered d beautifully orna-
menteu flute OF bone. The flutes of the
Araucanlans were made of the arm and
leg bones OF prisoners offered in sacr-
ice. The Caribs used human bones, but
now use the bones OF the jaguar. Their
flute had three holes, and, like the
Guiana hute OF bamboo, is blown by the
breath against the edge Of the orlfce.
A GUIANA flute in the National Museum
at Washington is made OF the shin bone
Of a jaguar. The Uaupe Indians OF

A DANGEROUS WOMAN.

A prominent capitalist of this city, a
few months since, was deeply smtten
with the fascinations of a retired
actress OF diminuLiVe proportions and
the ultra-blonde type. He forthwith
Installed her as mistress OF luxurious
abode, which he fitted up in one of the
fashionable resiuence quarters OF the
city, and provided her with Il retinue OF
servants and every facility for the ell
joyment OF high life.
The artistic female, who had previous
multiplicity OF names, acquired by
dlherent cOnquests and adapted to va
rious localities, Immediately adopted
the name and style of her latest nus
band by breYet, aud nourished with all
the glory ol the Queen OF Sheba. The
felicity ofth household was supreme
for the space OF several months Until a
few days since, when the infatuated
gentleman fancied that his domestic
comforter harDored a sinister design,
which grew into en- absolute suspicion,
when he discovered one morning that
his brandy bottle had been heavily
charged with arsenic.
BY the merest accident, or otherwise,
his acuteness of taste in taking his pre-.
llmlnary sip, he was saved the discom-
Tort that might have resulted from gulp-
lug coehtall Oh LulS description. Other
indications prompted him to give imma-
dlate information to the police autnori-
ties OF the threatening state of AFFAIRS in
MS household, and to cause the sum-
mary election of the dangerous woman.
subsequently, detective inves estigations
determinedthat desperate conspiracy
was afoot, in which several persons
were concerned, having the acquisition
OF the gentleman's estate IN view,
through pretended marriage as one OF
the features of the plot. The conspira-
tors have since been kept under surveil-
lance, and the gentleman's residence
guarded by officers, day and night, un-
der the apprehension that assassination
would be attempted.
Yesterday the residence establish
ment was broken up, the servants dis
charged, ana the furniture placed in
store, while the proprietor betook him
self to the more central and better pro-
tected quarters at the Palace Hotel. He
still requires the constant attendance
of police officer, however, and alto

tors are still in the city, and their move

THAT TINID DOG,

made the subject of very interesting and
instructive experiments. Originally the

put about quarter Of q pound Of pep

rolled it up in kind of ball, and tossed
it to the dog. The dog swallowed it as
quick as flash.
For few moments the animal seemed
contenLed. But presently he gave lit.
tie start, and then paused and looked
around to observe if anything had hap

began to assume "a very Solemn appear
