A Sickly Business.

Five lovers in various parts OF the
United States within week murdered
the women who rejected them. One Of
these criminals, Louis Guetig, clerk Of
the Spencer House, indianapolis, fired
so wildly at the woman be intended to
kill, that two others were wounded by
stray bullets. He afterwards gave the
following account Of his feelings on the
subject: "Mary went back on me, and
it made me sick; 1 bad spasms for a
while. Finally, after she had told me
several times that she would not have
anything more to do with ME, con-
cluded to kill her. She refused to ac-
cept even note from me. l went and
got full of beer then, and have kept full
ever since. Last evening | walked up
to whore she was standing, drew my
revolver, and asked her if che would
promise to accept me. She said she
you'd. But I knew she was just saying
that because she was afraid I was going
to kill her. I don't, know hog many
shots fired. I meant to save one fol
myself, but when I placed the pistol tt
my heart and pulled the trigger, tb'
shots were all gone. I am sorry the.
were. 1 don't want any penitentlar!
business in mine for this. ought tt
hang for it, and I want to. l want tt
be buried beside Mary, though"

Language Of the Hair.

To- All of our features have their Ian
guago-eyes, nose and mouth. And
now some one discovers that even the
hair has its own indications.
Straight, lank, STRENGTHENING hair
indicates weakness and cowardice.
Gurley hair deuotes a quick temper.
! Frizsy hair, set on ones head as if
each individual hair was ready to fight
its neisllbor, denotes coarseness.
Black hair indicates persistent resofu'
tia.,. "a ..rl;.hipsguobiecti also q
strong predisposition to revenge wrongs
and insults, real or fancied.
Brown hair denotes fondness for life,
d friendly disposition, ambition, earnest
ness of purpose, sagacity for business,
reliability in friendship, in proportion
as the hair is fine. Very fine hair in
dicates an even disposition, readiness to
forgive, with desire to add to the hap
piness Of others. '..
Persons with fine, light,brown or
auburn hair, inclined to curl or friz,
are quick. tempered, and are given to
resentment and revenge.
Light brown hair, inclined to redness,
with freckled skin, is said to be cer-
tain indication of deceit, treachery and
disposition to do something mean by a
friend who can no longer be used to ad-
vantage.
All of which may be new to fortune
tellers.-Harrnsburg Telegraph.

An Irish Legend.

A curious legend with reference to an
island which Moore has identified with
one of his sweetest melodies was told by
a. witness at an inquiry before the ln-
spcctors of Fisheries in Dublin recently.
The place referred to il the Islani OF
Scattery, in the estuary of the Shannon,
where Moore's rapturous interview be-
tween St. Seuanus and the lady took
place. The witness, who lives there,
and was called to swear as 70, the
legality OF Certain stake veins, zmen-
toned, in his general description of the
ancier. Celtic language Ipnis Scatter,
the meaning Of which was the Dragons
or Serpent's Island.
According to an ancient legend, ne
explained, a monssrous dragon arose
from a hillside overlooking Kilresh
aud Jumped into the Shannon, where
he twisted himself aronnd this; island
until his head and tail met. The island
is some three miles in length. During
the period that the dragon had the
island thus epcircled any person at
tempting to leave or enter it was de-
vourrd. However said the witness,
after the advent of Christianity st;
Patrick visited the island and exercised
the dragon, but, being invnluerable, he
was only scotched, not killed. and be

The Largest Workshop In the
World.

y We have reesived the annual. report
of the establishment of Krupp, Of Essen,
Germany, just published, and trans.
lated an extract respecting this famous
workshop. The manufacture Of cast
steel and refined steel alone employs
298 steam engines, n large steam ham
mers, and $500 men. 1t turns ont daily
ten miles of rail, with corresponding
amount Of wheels, springs, axles, and
all the complete steel work for railroad
carriages. This is Krupp's main con-
tribution to the arts of peace; what he
does for the art Of war is shown by the
fact that h. completes 300 large cannon
every month, and since 1847 he has
turned ont over $4,000 cannous. The
establishment is lighted up every night
with $1,000 gas burners; its different
parts are connected with thirty seven
miles Of railway, employing twentyfour
locomotives ana 700 cars, while the va
rious Offices are connected by forty-four
telegraph stations.
In the mineral works and coal mines
outside belonging to the 6rn. they en-
ploy $500 w"rkmen; for the forges 7oo
workmru; they have built 3.277 dwell
ing houses, which are occupi' d by the
workuen and their families, which
number 16,2OO persons, and form a
small town, with twenty-five stores for
groceries, meats. clothes, shoes, fur
piture and similar daily needs. Messrs
Krupp have provided for the education
of the children of their workmen by
four primary schools, divided into TWEEN,
