Curious Developments in a Murder
Case.

A remarkable case of crime is report
ed from Philadelphia, being the solution
of the Armstrong murder mystery. On
the 23d of January last John Armstrong,
a respectable music-printer, living in
Philadelphia, was found in a dying con
ditiOn in one of the by-streetS of Cam
den, n j., which is just across the river
from the former city. He had been
struck upon the head with hammer.
The only clew to the murderer and the
causes of the crime were certain initials
upon the hammer handle, which were
found near the body. These CORE
spOnded to the name of one Davis, with
whom Armstrong had had business
transactions, and who was owing the
latter money. The theory was adyanc-
ed that Davis. pressed to Il financial
strait by the victim, who went to Cam
den expressly to see about the payment
of the debt, became enraged and did the
murder. Davis was arrested, but an
abb was established clear enough to
raise reasonable doubts of his guilt.
When the friends of the dead man were
beginning to despair of ever ascertain
ing the truth, the accidental discovery
of note among Armstrong; papers,
by his son, led up to the revelation OF
the guilty parties. The note was an in
vitation to meet man who had once
been in business with him, named Hun
ter, at given time and
place, for examination for life in
surance. The startling thought dawned
upon the sons mind that his father was
the victim of systematic frauds. Inves-
tigation proved that $4,000 of insur-
ance had been secretly taken out by
Hunter, so far as the family'S knowledge
extended To fasten the crime on Hun
ter was no slight task. 1t was not be-
lieved that he had done the murder him
self, and as he stoutly denied the exist
ence of the insurance policies, in spite
of the records, no confession imphcat-
ing others could be expected. Through
the medium of personals in the
Lcdqer, and other ensnaring devices, at
last the real murderer was discovered
in a Young man named Graham, an en-
plovee of Hunter, who revealed the
criminal details to the officers. Briefly
stated, Graham'S story runs, that Hun
ter induced him to kill Armstrong,
promising him $500 for the deed. Ihed
with liquor, he followed his victim
| through Camden, while Armstrong and
Hunter walked to the appointed place.
At a signal from Hunter, Graham
struck the fatal blow, and then fled
Naturally, the coward who planned the
murder failed to pay the stipulated
$500. That fact, combined with the
cravings of conscience, led Graham to
confess his crime.
This case is one of the most remarka-
BILE tragedies of this day of plots and as
sassinations. 1t involves cOldly cal
culated attempt to defraud insurance
companies, in which plan murder be-
came mere incident. The trial will
be regarded with interest by prOfes-
sional men, by philanthropists and by
social economists, because Of the nu-
merous questions combined to make up
the drama Chicago EUeni'aG Post.

loathing and rage, and thinking in her
secret soul that Sam never, neUer could
have made such fool of himself. No,
indeed Sam was no fool. He became
aware that Henry was in a drear and
sore frame of mind the next day; and
seeing that Mira was more than usually
snappy and alert, and went about with
a hot color in her cheeks, our bedrid
philosopher drew his own conclusions,
and when Miry come in after tea TO
''visit with him." he contrived to coax
the story out of her. Itwas abominable
in Mira to tell her discarded lovers
secret; but let us forgive her for she had
her own reasons. Sans face grew
bright as she recounted with unaffected
scorn Henry's surprise at her contempt
of his money.
"He's BRUTE" said Sam, CURLY, and
then his voice softened. "Oh, Miry, if
| should ask you, with no sort o temp
tation, only jest that I'd like to kiss the
tip of your shoe, love We so, should |
get Il mitten toO?"
Miry looked down in her lap very
hard, and, turning her face toward the
door as if she heard some body coming,
said, slowly, "Idono as 'twould hurt ye
TO try"
There was mighty expressive silence
for a minute, and Miry's pretty head
bent so low that Sam could lift himself
to meet it before he spoke again, to say,
with a queer half laugh, "Mother said
my broke leg was Judgment, but some
how it seems any thing but that jest now.
l dono's ever should ha' got courage,
Miry, without I'd laid here an seen We
so dreadful good an kind to me-
"Mebbe you'll find it's judgment
yet, wickedly retorted Mira.
"Well, eff tbs" answered satisfied
Sam, ''it's nightly tempered with mer-
cy, as mother used ter say"
. And to this day Squire Peters always
says nothing ever did him so much good
as his first acknowledged judgment,
though it took the form of a broken leg.

A Ride for a POcket-bOOk.

The Eastern Virgiraian of the 9th
tells the following story: A few trips
ago the Clerk of Somerset County came
down on the Helen and left his pocket
book in his berth, in the cabin of the
steamer. After arriving in Princess
Anne by the up train, and eating his
breakfast, he went over to his office.
Having occasion to use his pocket-book,
he promptly ran his hand in his pocket,
when, 10! the truth flashed upon him!
1t was on the sheet. He left Immediately
for Wilson, in Northampton County,
100 miles distant, where the steamer
stays all night, changing horses on his
way; at Z 80 a. m. he walked aboard,
not saying a word to any body; down
the cabin he goes, and in the dark
placed his hand on the book. AS he
comes out of the cabin the Waterman
overhauls him to know the cause of his
strange actions, whereupon, with a
changed countenance, he convinces the
Waterman he is not a ghost. The
pocket-book possessed valuatles to the
amount of S3,000l Somerset County,
Md, can boast lucky clerk, as we
know him to be a very worthy gentle
man

Fighting a Whale.

A correspondent of the Raleigh o.
SerUer, writing from MOOrehead City,
coast of North Carolina, says: On
Tuesday there was the most exciting
whale fight that has ever occurred on
this coast. 1t was with some difficulty
that the Captain of the crew could get
his men to obey orders. When the first
bomb was fired into the whale it failed
to explode. This made the whale
furious, when at this instant he struck
one of the boats and knocked it some
feet above the water. The Captain then
fired another bomb; this failed OF ex-
plosion; the fight was still getting more
furious. The third bomb was fired and
exploded near the heart. This conquer
ed the monster. The blood spOuted
some ten feet high, and, as the crew
rushed up to stick their lanceS in him,
the blood fell in showers upon them and
their boats. The fight was witnessed by
another crew stationed about seven
miles above them. They looked on
with delight, only wishing they could
get into such a bloody contest. The
whale was AZ feet long and extremely
fat. This fish viii probably bring about
$500.

While much has been written concerning the
use Of "put up' medicines the question Is
still an open one and demands OF the people
a careful consideration. The salient points
may be briefly stated, and answered as follows:
1st-Are the sick capable Of determining their
real condition, the nature of their maiady,
and selecting the proper remedy or means OF
cure! 2d-Can physician, no matter how
skillful, prepare universal remedy, adapted
to the peculiar ailments of n large class OF
people, residing in different ATTITUDES, and
subject to various climatic influences! In
answer to the first proposition, we would say,
diseases are named and known by certain
"signsn or symptoms, and, as the mother does
not need physician TO tell her that her child
has the whOOping-cOugh, or indicate a RENE
dy, so people when afflicted with many of the
symptoms cOncOmitaut to Impure blood"
torpid liver and bad Digestion require
no other knowledge of their condition, or the
remedy indicated, than they already possess.
Second opositiOn-Many physicians argue
that diseases are sectionally peculiar, and that
their treatment must therefore vary, and yet
quinine, morphine, pOdophyllin, and hundreds
of other remedies are prescribed ia al countries
to overcome certain conditions. Is it not, there
fore, self-evident that physician whose large
experience has made him familiar with the
MANY phases incident to all impurities Of the
blood, general ami Nervous debility, iJeF COM
p}diHt dyspepsia, consumption, and catdTTh, can
prepare series of remedies exactly adapted
to meet the conditions manifest, wherever, and
by whatever means, it may have been engen-
dered. The family medicines prepared by r.
V. Pierce, NJ. D., OF Buffalo, y. Y, fulfill the
above requirements. Many physicians pre-
scribe them in their practice. His Golden
Medical DScoy,r ~ has no equal as a blOod-pu-
rifier and general tonic, while his FavOrite
Prescription cures those weaknesses peculiar

Good Fellows not Good Friends.

Though it is hard and cruel thing to
say, would urge you to beware of tax
ing pleasant fellows for your friends.
Choose a good, disagreeable friend, if
you are wise-a surly, steady, econom-
zeal, rigid fellow. All jolly fellows, all
delights of billiard-rooms, all fellows
who sing capital song, and the like,
are sure to be poor. They will borrow
your money, and their very generosity
and goodness of disposition win prevent
them from having the means of paying
you back. They lend their mopey to
some other jolly fellow. They accom-
modate each other by putting their jolly
names to the back of jolly bills. Their
tradesmen are on the lookout for them.
1t is hard times with gentleman when
he has to walk round street for fear of
meeting a creditor there, and for man
of courage when he can't look tailor in
the face.-ThGcberay.

Giving Her Census.

When the census-taker raped at the
door of certain cottage on Crawford
Street the other day and wondered if
the woman would set the dog on him
or douse him with dishwater, great
disappointment awaited him. She
opened the door softly, snuffed the air
to see if he smelled of hghtning-rods,
and then threw it open for him to enter.
Madam, | am making canvass of

"Ah! Sit down." she replied, and
as he began opening his book she con-
tinued:
There are five of US in the family,
and we paid 500 down on this place.
My husbands name is Peter, his age is
forty-twO, and he came from a mean
family. His father was always having
lawsuits about dogs, and his mother
was the greatest gossip in Elmira. Have
