An Appalling Crime-ShockiDg Murder
Of q Yslng Girl.

The police authorities of Baltimore
City yesterday received the details of p
horrible murder committed in Jeffer-
son, Texas, on January 81, from j. NJ.
Thomas, Chief of Police in that place.
A beautiful young lady, apparently not
more than 20 years of age, arrived at a
hotel there few days before, accom-
panied by man aged about % years.
They registered as GA. Munroe and
lady, Cincinnati, o." The man left on
the 2lst of January, giving Little Rock,
AK, as his destination. The young
woman, who was of light complexion,
with blue eyes and auburn hair, and at
tired richly in black silk, was discov-
cred after her companion left, murder
ed in her room. The murderer had
battered her face in such manner as
almost to prevent recognition. Accom-
panying the letter of the Chief of PO-
lice was photograph of the unfortun-
ate woman, which presents q CHASTITY
appearance. Her eyes we're gOuged
out, her face bruised and discolored,
and her mouth mashed SO as to display
her teeth. The photograph was taken
of the murdered woman as she laid at
full length upon her bed, partly dress
ed, in the condition she was in when
discovered. 1t is one of the most strik-
ing illustrations of a terrible crime ever
received by the police authorities of this
city, and SO appalling is the appearance
of the victim that it will be apt to re-
main photographed upon the mind of
every one who looks upon it. The muir
derer has escaped to parts unk nown.-

A CULPRIr who was brought before
q Chicago magistrate the other day, on
. charge of beating his wife, pleaded
for indulgence and promised reform,
saying that he did not mean any cruelty
to his wife, but it was only q bad habit
he had got into. The magistrate said
he would cheerfully excuse him, for he
knew himself how strong were the
chains of habit, and the prisoner must
not mind it, for he really didn't mean
any thing by it, but he was greatly ad-
dicted to the habit of fining such cases
$50 and costs, and sending them up for
ten day. "We are all creatures of
habit" quoted the Court, and the COM
mittee rose, and shortly afterward the
House adjourned.

Wastes on the Farm.

The greatest waste on the farm is in
the not using of our brain; the great
est, because at the bottom Of all other
wastes. A little thinking often saves
much labor. After accomplishing any
piece of work, the most of US can look
back and see how we could have inn
proved on it If we had but thought. As
we review our crops of this year, we
see how they could have been easily in
creased, had we only thought. We
omitted buying an implement that
would have saved nearly its cost in this
one, years use, until we have spen'
much in trying TO accomplish our work
without it. Here was waste. We al.
lowed the weeds to grow on one piece
of land, not thinking to what proper
tions they would grow by the time the
crops were too far advanced to admit
the hoe. A waste here, which might
have been obviatsd. And so on,
wastes, little and big, everywhere, all
arising from our notthinking sufficient
ly-w4ste, because not necessary and
easily obviated. We omit the ordinary
wastes from neglect, frotp lazineas, from
want of appreciation for cleanliness
and thoreug hness-the wastes from our
stock, from our manure heap, from our
household. Verify q little thought will
save to the farmer much; and the saw
ing through this means, even on small
farms Viii represent thes interest on q
considerable capital. The wastes aris-
ing from ignorance can very easily be
diminished, and are in large part mex
cusable; those arising from careless
ness are nos deserving Of sympathy.
The farmer a. well as the business man
must use business principles to secure
the largest SUCCESS, and the one should
be as careful Of the outgoes as the 9th

Capture Of the Celebrated NOrthamp-
ton Bank Robbers.

New YORK, Feb. 14.-One of the
three men arrested to-day as the North
ampton bank robbers is not unknown
to the West. Jim Dunlap was original
iy resident of St. Louis. He went
from st. Louis to Chicago previous to
the great fire, and there met a notori-
GUS burglar named Johnny Berry, who
taught him to blow open safes. About
this time Bob Scott, who had been re-
leased from Joliet State-prisOn for bur-
glary, became acquainted with the two,
and the trio came to this city about six
years ago. The first work that Dunlap
was engaged in was the robbery of the
First National Bank, for which Berry
is now, under the name of John Myer,
serving term of five years in the State
prison at Auburn. Other robberies fol-
lowed, among them that of the Fall
City Tobacco Bank of Louisville. from
which about $500, 600 was stolen, on
the night of March or 9, 1873; that of
the First National Bank of Quincy, ILL.,,
February IL, 1874, from which
$50, coo in currency and large amount
of securities were taken; that of the
First National Bank of Pittston, Pa,
and finally the Northampton Bank rob-
berry. MIR. r. A. Pinkerton says he has
proof enough to convict the three men
now in jail, and is on the track of
others concerned in the burglary. The
way he obtained a clew which led to
the arrest of the three men was by
watching the parties who were endeav-
oriDg to make q compromise with losers

IT is the opinion of some mariners
that there are rocks in the Atlantic
which have been thrown up by volcanic
agency and are the frequent cause of
ships disappearing. These rocks, it is
asserted, have often been seen in the
Atlantic by captains, officers, and all
hands. Various British Governments
have sent out ships which have search
ed for them in vain, and, because those
ships have failed to find what hundreds
have seen with their own eyes, these
dangers have been expunged from the
charts. The position given by those
who have seen them is, in most cases,
obtained BY dead reckoning, and there
fore is only spproximate consequently
it Is q most difficult task to find them
again.

4 Venerable WOnAn's Walk Across the
Great Plains.

When the Denver Pacific train arriv-
ed in Cheyenne Monday afternoon, says
the Denver Tribune of the 7th, The con-
ductor was informed that an aged lady,
with her son had started early In the
day with the intention of walking to
Denver, and that they seemed to be OBJ
jects of charity. Conductor Farmer
kept q lookout on the returning train,
and when 80 miles south of Cheyenne
discovered the old lady and her boy
sitting on the end of the ties Of the
track. The train was stopped and q
free ride offered to this city. 1t took
but q moment to discover that the old
lady was not only nearly blind from
constant looking upon the snow, but
her tramp and privations had rendered
her SO feeble that she had to be lifted
into the car. Internationally another
nights exposure would have snapped
the thread of life, and doubtless the boy
would have met asimilar fate. So soon
as short rest was had the woman,
whose name was Mrs. Anna Miller, q
widow, aged So years, told to sympthiz-
ing passengers and trainmen the story
of their tramp. The details would
make interesting and thrilling reading.
Six weeks ago the twain started from
Randolph County, Indiana, to walk to
this city to visit some relatives living
in the vicinity. The little money with
which they commenced this tramp OF
over twelve hundred miles was soon
gone, and the benevolence of people
along the route was their only stay.
Nearly the entire distance was made on
foot, and through the snow storms and
severest weather, save an occasional
ride on q wagon, and much less often
the assistance rendered by generous
hand-car men, who we're met on the
Union Pacific Road, the conductors al.
ways refusing to give helping hand
Thus they plodded along until picked
up on the Denver Pacific, without money
and with very scant clothing. The old
Lady had bunch of her garden seeds,
however, which she had brought all the
way, as she did not believe good Sc. d:
cuuld be obtained so far from civiliza
ton. A purse of $40, made up on the
train, made one need good, and at the
depot in this city they parted with those
who had proved their only friends or
the route, blessing without stint, the
generous givers. The lady said she hac
= wealthy daughter in California, but
was unwilling her condition should be
made known to her, and so she braved
the dangers of the trip and stared star
walton and death successfully in the
face. .--Ta "i.

of 100 years he boasted Of walking sew

An Unlucky Bite.

A man in Cheyenne, Neb., day before
yesterday, went into store to buy q
barrel of apples. He bit into an apple,
concluded to take barrel of twenty
ounce pippins, went away, and, after
being absent an hour or so, came back
and asked to see the apple he had Bit
ten into. On being asked why he want
ed that particular one, he said that he
had lost his false teeth somewhere, and
he rather thought he had left them
sticking in that apple. His surmises
turned out to be true.-SaN Lake Tri-
