A PLUCKY WOMAN WAX ES A RUT-
CLAIR DISe.OasGE.

A little Eureka, Nevada, woman awoke
recently to fnda a burglar prospecting her
room for valuables. She lay very quietly
until he had concluded his labors and trans
ferred operations to the adjoining parlor,
when she quietly arose, arm ed herself with
revolver which her husband had provided
her WITH and which was snugly ensconced
under her pillow, and tiptoed into the bur
glars presence. Covering him with the
weapon, without tremor in her voice,
she commanded him to discharge his plum
der. There was blood in her eye and de-
termination in her tone, and the burglar
weakened at once. He deposited on the cen
tire table bracelet, gold chain and pair OF
earrings-all that he had managed to secure
thus far-and meekly listened to spirited
lecture delivered impromptu. She wound
up her address by expressing a regret that
her seanty toilet prevented her from es
corting him to the 5ail, and ordered him
out of the house. He did not stand upon
the order of going, but went at once.
The brave little woman then dressed, lit
ser lantern went to the furnace, told her
husband of her adventure, and remained
until daylight.

found effective for this form of the dis
ease if faithfully adhered to. Too much
economy in shoe-leather, or want of
proper protection of the throat itself, has
been supposed to work occasional hahn
to that organ, but all these deleterious
influences have been filing, according
to the ST. Louis physician, compared to
the damage done by the use of artificially
colored tobacco. The dealers and manu-
facturers admit the coloring, and say that
it is essential to their trade-to meet the
demand for dark cigars. The theory of
smokers is that dark cigar is much
stronger than one of light shade, and
that they get more nicotine for their
nickel or dime by using only the former
brands. Where the color is natural this
is true, but most tobacco raised is of a
light color when cured and hence this
necessity of exposing the throats and lips
of old smokers to the deleterious effects
of drugs.

BOQrd of Education.

The Board of Education held their last
meeting last night.
The resignation of Miss Lily s. Harman
was accepted.
The publishing house of Van Antwerp,
Bragg & Co. made an offer of $1,000 to the
Board account, to be taken out during the
school year of 1879 in school-books from
their establishment, to be furnished to chill
dren of INDECENT parents.
A resolution to excuse the above firm
from taking up the books discarded and ex-
changing them for new books was passed on
suspension of the rules.
Mr. Long, from the minority OF the Joint
Committee, offered a report in favor of the
proposition of Messrs. Potter, Ainsworth d
Co. to continue furnishing the Payson, Dun
ton & Scribner copy books, and offered for
adoption the following resolution:
Resolved, That the proposition of Messrs.
Potter, Ainsworth & Co. of date of March
25th, 1878, to the Board OF Education, pro
posing to furnish copy-books at reduced
rates and gratuitous distribution be &C
cepted by the Board, and that the Clerk be
instructed to notify said publishers of such
acceptance.
A vote Of thanks was then rendered the
retiring officers, and. after a lot OF speech
making, the meeting adjourned.

COL. VANCE HEARD FROM.
He is Found Insane in San Fran.
cisco.

The mysterious disappearance of Colonel
John L. Vance from this city some time
ago caused considerable excitement Fears
had been entertained that he had been muir
dered or that he had committed suicide.
All conjcctures to that effect are now set at
rest, and the missing man has been heard
from definitely at last.
The following is a special dispatch re-
ceived here:
'GALLIPoLIs, O., April S.-News received
in this city to-day sets at rest the many
false inventions of the scandal-mongers re-
gardng one of our most prominent citizens,
and dispels the cloud which they caused to
lower 50 darkly over the fair name of a lady
resident, and breaks the painful suspense
which has for days surrounded the myste-
rious disappearance of Col. John l.. Vance
Late this evening the distressed wife of Mr.
Vance received the following telegram from
San Francisco which explains itself
"'SAN Francisco, April 8, 1878.
"'Mrs. Vance, Gallipolis, Ohio:
"Your husband is here, insane but harm
less Have you instructions? Answer.
"'W. A. LAMB, Lick House."
The statement that Col. Vance had eloped
with the wife of blinds music teacher OF
Gallipolis, Ohio, is also false, as a Cincin-
natl member of Congress is authority for
the statement that he has seen within the
last few days the woman referred to above
in Washington.

Or the bones of Columbus in the Cathedral
in that city. Dying in Spain, in 1906, the
remains of Columbus were first deposited
IN the convent of St. Francis in 1913 They
were transferred to the Carthusian Convent
at Las Cuenas, from whence they were
shipped to San Domingo in 1886, and de-
posted in the Cathedral of that city. In
1896 these remains, as it was then, and up
to the present discovery, believed, we're
conveyed in great pump to the Cathedral
of Havana, where they were supposed to
have reposed ever since. The Consul of
San Domingo says that while some work.
men were digging up the floor around the
pulpit in the cathedral, to make some re-
pairs, they exposed to view walled orifce
containing leaden case two feet long by
about eight inches wide, the inscription on
which bore incontestable evidence that the
contents were the bones of Christopher
Columbus. Immediately on the discovery
being made, the remains were restored to
their original resting place and the recepta-
Gle walled up. On the 10th of September,
in the presence of the Governor and other
Government officials and the various con-
Euls, amid the sounds of martial music and
the booming of cannon, the remains were
again exhumed, the box, bones and in
scription examined, and the facts recorded
and attested to by all the officials and con-
suls present The lead box containing the
remains was then inclosed in another box,
carefully sealed with the seals of the con-
suls, to be opened only in their presence,
and placed in the custody of Padre Billini,
in the church of Regina Angelorm, to be
held by him subject to investigation by any
foreign commissions desirous-of satisfying
themselves of the facts, and until a suita-
BILE amount can be raised to erect fitting
monument over the remains. Itbeing sug-
gested that other countries might like TO
contribute to the erection of this monument,
the various consuls were requested to bring
the subject to the attention of their re-
spectivc governments, in order to give
them chance to do SO. The ancient
records of the Cathedral in San Domingo
having been long ago destroyed by vandals,
no facts concerning the supposed removal
of these remains to Havana can be ascer-
tanned in San Domingo, but it is conjec-
tured that the monks palmed off on the
Spaniards the remains of somebody else,
retaining to themselves and their Cathedral
the venerated bones of the great navi-
gator.

THE continued business depression in
Europe, and particularly in Germany, is
leading to singular results. The State
Department at Washington is receiving
dispatches from U. S. Consuls in Ger
many describing the distress that exists
in the manufacturing districts of that
country. Most of the factories are
closed, and the workmen and their fam
lilies are subsisting on past earnings.
Among the number of sufferers are very
many Americanized Germans who had
left this country during the past business
depression here in the hope of better
wages in the Fatherland These are
now applying to the American Consuls
for aid both to live and to return to their
adopted country. The officers are as a
general thing powerless to assist them.

THERE is much reason in General
Buffers bill for a reissue of fractional
currency and small bills The commend
sble feature is that the bill does not
propose an initiation but a substitution
of fractional currency and small bills for
/ part of the coin now in circulation.
Silver in quantities is too cumbersome,
and it does not meet all the require
nents of fractional currency. Silver
halves and quarters can not be convent
entity sent by mail, and much damage
1as been done by entirely withdrawing
.he fractional paper currency, which was
specially convenient for this purpose
Postal orders are too expensive for the
transmission of such small amounts, and
without the paper halves and quarters
many business transactions which, though
mall in themselves, are very great in
!he aggregate, are entirely stopped. The
currency should be so issued as to meet
al the wants of the people, and one of
these is that of small bills and proper
bon of fractional currency that can be
transmitted by mail.

AND now it is doctored tobacco-to-
bacco artifcially colored from which to
manufacture the dark-tinted cigar so pop
alar among smokers-that is doing the
mischief. A St. Louis physician has dis
covered that the great prevalence of lip
and throat diseases in his medical beat
among gentlemen addicted to the weed is
,wing to their smoking dark instead of
light cigars. A little investigation de-
veloped the fact that this color is in most
cases purely artificial, and is produced by
The use of poisonous coloring matter. 1t
