A Remarkable Woman.

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal says: "Miss Pinkney,
who lives in upper New York, is regard
ed as the weslthiest women in the city.
She is quite advanced, and her mother
who lives with her, is nearly ninety.
She owns six thousand city lots, tram
sscts her own business, and keeps her
affairs in her own hands. The two wo
men live together in large stone cot
tsse, and live in the simplest and plain
est style. She gave the other day some
INTERESTING statements about real estate in
New York: The city owes Sl3l 100000.
There are Sl3,OOO,O00 of unpaid assess
ment taxes to-day Against my property
there are S40000 assessments and taxes.
4 large number of these assessments will
not be paid. The owners of property
prefer to let the city take the los, and
trust to their ability to redeem them
when times are BITTER. Twelve per cent.
is the interest demanded by the city
after the first year. ] have held my
property in this way. Once IN ten
wears there is q rise in real estate. Then
/ sell of enough to clear my property
and hold on to the balance. sell no
more, because my title is among the old
est. and can have no better security
than have got. Much Of this incum-
brance on my property is not only op.
pressive, but fraudulent and void. Bills
are before the Legislature to relieve the
oppressed owners. If they do not pass
Tho assessment will be contested to the
bitter end"

How 10 Treat Mis- u.s. Children.

Here is little child who is great
tease and trouble. He is always asking
10 do this or that impossible or unprem-
issb,e action. He breaks in abruptly
upon the conversation of his seniors.
He destroys all peace in the house by
shouts and screams, inperious demands
ON the time and attention Of every one,
endless interruption of every ones sffairs.
He is an imp of mischief, breaking turn
iture. overturning inkstands on the car.
net setting fire to valuable papers, driv-
ing nails into the furniture. How shall
YOU abste this nuisance? You may try
to destroy these bad habits by scoldlng
him, by rebukes, by lectures, by punish
ments. This is one way but not the
best. These bad habits often spring
from an instinct of activity, an intense
desire to do something which the:.creator
has given the child as means OF mon
tai and moral growth. In trying to
pull up the tsres, you are in great dan
ger of roofing out the wheat also. Ii
You succeed by force in changing this
disagreeable tormen. of perpetual actlv-
ity into dull, quiet boy, you have
changed a brigh, INTO dull one. a
better way than destroying this tendency
is to fulfil it by giving him plenty of oc
cupstion of an innocent kind. Give him
a heap of sand to dig, blocks OF wood to
build houses with, box OF tools and a
board to saw. Some work useful or IL
teresting, or at least harmless. He will
like all this better than he likes mischief
All his regular activity WAS cry for
something.

TNDIAN LIB's EXPLOIrS."
Several COlOred People Of Elizabeth
yIctimizpd by u Female 1octOr.

SEVERN COIOreu TcOplo VI LhANocth
VIctimized by Female ""ctOr.
From the New York World.
About two or three weeks ago dark
complexioned woman apparently about
torty-fve years of age appeared in
Elizabeth, N. j., and was recognized ss
"Indisn Lib who, some three years
since, promensded and rode through
Broad Street attired in silks and satins,
sparkling with jewels and occasionally
accompanied by a gentleman of festive
proclivlties whose family lived in one OF
the fashionable avenues in town. The
woman was next heard of by Chief of
Police Keron as having stolen dress
pattern, some muslin, wearing apparel
and other property from negress
named Mary Champion, living 10
blackberry Row" whose husband she
had undertaken TO cure OF cancer by the
use OF herbs and mesmerism. She
claimed to have derived her knowledge
Of the use of herbs from long residence
in the Indian Territory with her father,
chief OF the Cherokee tribe, and her
mesmeric power she Inherited from her
mother, whom she said was a colored
woman named Snake Mary" Coming
thus highly recommended "Indian Lib
soon obtained q number of patients
among the colored people of Elizabeth,
several of whom she vitimized. Chief
of Police Keron has sent "1ndian Lib"
a decoy letter to induce her to return to
Elizabeth, but she has not been seen in
that Reighborhood since.

A REMARKABLE VISION.
What n Bridgeport Printer SaW-A
winged Man Floating In the Sky.

Mr.. Thomas Rossiter. printer, re.
siding in Bridgeport, told OF remarka-
Bile vision which be had some years ago,
and no account of which has ever been
published. The particulars OF the
case are strange and ine1plicab!e. He
said: "What [ am going to tell you
about, happened number of years ago
but it has never been published and it
will be an original article. In June,
1860, when / was about twelve years
old, | Was going out OF the house on a
bright, clear day, when single passing
cloud dimmed the sun without entirely
hiding it, and l saw to one side OF TIL
cloud, and, us it seemed, about ten yards
from it, the figure of man larger than
life. The apparent distance OF the
spectre from where / stood was about
two miles. 1t was nine o'clock in the
morning, and the sun had reached
good height. and this man seemed to be
on a line with the sun. His back, or
rather his shoulder, was towards me, so
tina. l could not see his face. He was
well dressed; in fact made me think of
u man in q wedding suit. He had on a
high hat. l have since heard OF re-
fections appearing in the sky, and
would think that this was the reflection
of man standing on some hill where l
could not see him, if it were not that the
figure had wings like those in the pct.
ures OF angels. They were of chinchllla
pattern, and the mixture OF the white
and black feathers was plainly to beseen.
They started at the shoulders, reached
upwards TO the neck, and downwards to
the ankles, and were moving slowly up
and down. The man also appeared 10
be walking. could not see his feet,
his legs fading out at the ankles. l
called to my mother to come quickly.
She did not hurry, and it was some mo-
ments before she camej but the spectre
remained, and she saw it Us plainly as
did. This proves that there was moth
ing the matter with me, and that it
really appeared Presently the sun came
out from under the cloud, but his light
did not dim the vision which remained
| rs distinct rs before. 1t moved slowly
away from the sun, and finally was lost
behind some clouds. l have often
thought that would publish an account
OF this thing, but never did SO until now,
and would like to see some OF the
scientific men explain it."

The Funeral Baked Meat.

The Allentown, Pa, Chronicle says:
Probably there is no other county in
this State, or the United States for that
matter, where iessting at funerals pre-
walls to so great an extent as in Lehigh
county. The custom prevails also in
the counties of Bsrks and Southampton.
When a rich farmer or farmers wife
dies, the breath is scarcely out Of the
body before preparations for the usual
funeral feast begin on grand scale.
Oxen are killed and the fatted calf Is
brought to the block. Fowls are
slaug htered BY the hundreds. The
ovens and the cooking stoves are kept
busy for days, cooking, roasting and
baking. Immense supplies OF bread,
pies and pastry are provided. The
neishbors generally do thiS work unbid-
den. On the day of the funeral the
feasting commences early in the morn
ing and is kept ~ to late hour in the
day. Half dozen tables are kept going,
and nearly all the rooms ofthe house are
occupied by the feasters. Everybody
who attends is supposed to eat two or
three times day-nesr nelghbors as
well as those from distance. AS many
as from 800 to 600 are feasted at one OF
the grand country funerals. The horses
Of attendants are also put up and ted.
Close as our farmers proverbially are it
is considered "mcan" to stunt on solemn
occasions like these. lu fact the imme-
diately family are not considered at all
in the matter. They are the mourn
ers," and are at the mercy of the volun-
teer attendants, who take possession OF
the house and arrange it to suit them
selves-cousulting the family. of course
but taking it for granted that their
most extravsgsnt suggestions will be ap-
proved. .
Now all this shows great stretch OF
hospitality and liberslity, but it is nigh
time the custom was abandoned. While
q rich family may be able to afford it, one
not 80 rich must find it a very serious
and expensive business. The custom,
we believe, prevails nowhere except in
the German districts Of Pennsylvania.
