A Judgment for 50. 900. 900.

On Oct. 5, 1854, George Il. Walker
gave promissory note to William
Hood for 81 $50, payable in six months
and bearing 3 per cent. per month in
terest, which was to be compounded
and added to the principal if not paid
each month. AS security for the note a
mortgage was given on some land in
Santa Clara county, where Walker then
lived. No interest was ever paid on the
note, and, before its maturity, Walker
had left the State for Mexico, where he
took up his permanent residence. A
few months ago, however, he returned
on visit to this city, and then suit was
brought to recover on the note. On
computing the interest, it was found
that, added to the principal, the amount
due was $9,000,000, and to-day Judge
Morrison rendered default Judgment
for that amount. 1t is believed that
Walker has already returned to Mexico

A Romantic Tragedy i'm Russia.

A singular Nihilist tragedy, in which
a peasant girl plays prominent part,
has recently startled Odessa. Two
brothers belonging to family of small
landed proprietors, Enkouvatoff by
name were so much attached to each
other that they could not live apart.
For this reason, perhaps, when the
elder, Pimen, joined Nihilist society,
the younger, Dometi, did the same
The Enkouvatoffs belonged to the no.
bill ty; but that did not prevent Pimen
from marrying peasant girl. Unhap-
PLY, Dometi sympathized so entirely
with Pimen that he conceived pas
sion for the latter's wife, and showed
pertinacity in his attentions to his sis
ter-in-law. The involuntary cause of
all this trouble was devoted to her hus-
band, who naturally should have turned
his brother out of the house. Pimen,
however, still allowed Dometi to live
with him; and, to assuage his jealousy
consented even to live apart from his
wife, and to "treat her." as the report of
the trial puts it, like a sister" One
night Pimen was awakened by his wife
running into his room and crying out
that Dometi, armed with a razor, was
about to attack him. She was followed
by the Infatuated Dometi, brandishinga
razor, and Pimen, in self-defense, took
up the revolver, which every Nihilist
seems to have at hand, and shot his
brother through the heart.

A WOman's Glove.

A woman's glove is to her what his
vest-pocket is to man. But it is more
capacious, and, in ninety-nine instances
out of hundred, it is much better reg
ulated. A man will carry 50 worth of
small change, four matches, half dozen
toothpicks, a short pencil and a pack of
business cards in his vest-pocket. and
vet never be able to find nickel or a
match or a toothpick or pencil or a
card, when he wants it. Not so with q
woman. She has the least bit of glove,
and in that glove she carries the tiniest
little hand, and a wad of bills, and men,
oranda for her intended purchases, and
dress-goods samples, and car tickets,
and matinee checks, and maybea dimin-
utive powder rag. We have no idea
how she does it-how she manages to
squeeze those thousand and one things
into that wee space. But she does it
every time, and the glove never looks
the least bit discomposed or pJethoric
or ruffied. And, when the woman wants
any article concealed about that glove,
she doesn't seem to have the least
trouble in the world gettilg at it. All
that is required is simple turn of the
wrist, the momentary disappearance of
two fairy fingers, and the desired article
is brought to light. II is wonder that
no savant can explain.

Rag CARPETS.

Allow me to give my experience in the max

them when was bringing up my little ones.
Now, if lady concludes, all at once, to make
a carpet of rags and devotes her whole time for
some days, or perhaps weeks, to the prepare
ton of "rags and CHAIN" she will weary and
disgust every one, and not enjoy her carpet
when she gets IT, Let me suggest a better way.
may say here that l tried the busting way at
first but experience taught me better.
When ones husband or boys have really got
all the good" az the old ladies say, of suit of
clothes, and you feel that you do not need to
lay them by for future contingencies, rip up the
garments, shake and brush well. Choose some
dull, rainy evening when you are tolerably GER
tain of having no visitors for the work Then
cut your rags, trim corners, tack with strong
thread, make into large balls, sew some strong
cotton material on the balls to keep away moths,
and lay them by. When another pile OF old
things accumulates-sx months later perhaps
do the same / assure my sister readers that
in surprisingly-sh time they find, upon
weighing the nice balls, that the rag-carpet IL
no longer doubtful. The shears or scissors
have not been used long enough at any one
time to hurt the fingers, nor has any weary dis
gust been experienced Cotton cord may be
