agreed so to dc, confide Mt, undoub:-

And then came the most extraordinary
scene of the little drama. A married
sister strinking'y resembling the ilnpris-

and, arsfully dressed to intensity the re-
seinb'ance, hurriedly entered the room
where the lieutenant was present. with

with simulated sobs, hastily hid her face
on her mothers bosom. Surprising her
to be the wife whom he agitatedly called
by name, the deceived husband begged
her to go with him. 81 wish to remain
with my mother!" was the apparently
fearful answer, without so much as a
glance for him; and, without word, the
lieutenant bowed to parents and child,

n Clandestine Marriage.

On Tuesday were borne from sump-
tuous house high up on Fifth avenue, for
interment in a Connecticut town on the
New Haven road, not far from this city
the remains Of revered wife and mother.
Half century ago, when she was the
only unmarried daughter of an old and
wealthy family of the town in whose
cemetery her body now rests, she came
to New York in the bloom and vivacity
of youth just conscious of its own pow
er. to visit the friendly household of one
of our first merchants. A prolongation
of her soJourn here did not excite the re-
monstrance of her parents until they
were surprised by information that her
delay was possibly occasioned by the
frequent calls of a gentleman, lieuten-
ant of the British navy, whose attentions
seemed ominously serious, when her
mother took the family carriage precipi-
lately for the city to convey back forth
with the giddy damsel. Upon arraign-
ment before the maternal bar the young
lady did not deny the frequent visits Of
the alleged sutton, whom her New York
friends had seen no reason to interfere
with; indeed, upon stepping into the car
rage to 60 home (there was no New
Haven railroad then), she said, quite
cody; "It's useless to find fault now, ma
for am married."
Such, indeed, was the starting tact.
After short and only finally suspected
summers courtship, she and the lieu
tenant had been clandestinely married,
and before the Mortified mother and
romantic daughter had been in their
Connecticut home twenty-four hours the
bold young sailor was there too, to claim
his wife! But he found her a prisoner,
locked in her own room and both parents
met his appeals with steady refusal to
acknowledge his authority. The girl
was but child, they said, not conscious
of her own mind, and they should resist
with every possible form Of law any at
tempt to remove her from their custody
The husband, urging that they loved
each other, was told that she whom he
had made his wife, in name only, now
bitterly regretted her sentimental folly
and wished to see him no more. As.
founded at this assertion, the young mar
passionately impugned its truth. Would
he be generous enough to give her up

Capt. Peabody, of the bark c. A

Capt. Peabody, of the bark c. A.
Whitmore, is under arrest at Boston for
cruelty to his second mate, Elwood, re-
sulting in his death. The trouble occur
red during a voyage from Cardiff to
Hong Kong, in the summer OF 1876, and,
according to the afidavits of the crew,
Peabody's treatment of Elwood was out
raseous. He confined him in chains
rode him on the keel of boat, and scrub
bed him with broom and salt water.
Around his wrists were sores, and there
were five wounds in his head. The Cap
tain had small bunk made for him,
four feet long and one and half feet
wide. 1t was so short that Elwood's
knees almost touched bis chin, and he
died in this bunk from the injuries he
had received three days after the last
beating. The Captain was arrested at
Hong Kong but fed, and it was only
few days ago that he was found in Bos-
ton.

The inhabitants of Neopolis, hearing of

his mediation with Timour. The people
was doubtful of mis- success, but they

Of the besieger, Nasur, who knew it was
useless to approach the great chief with

a short time since we though: it necessary to

Douglas, Cooley and others exploded the shall
low plan that had obtained for centuries, and
proved that the law Of gravitatOn worked as
surely among the cream globulcs rs anywhere
else; that milk set under proper conditions
would yield It's cream from depth OF eighteen
inches as quickly as ii placed IN the shallow
pans of our grandmother. If we understand
the nature and composition of the milk, and
the relation which the different component
parts bear to each other, We shall have little
difficulty in separating them with the aid OF
the simplest apparatus. Nature mingled me
cream glODueS, the CaScIuc glODulCs, sugar,
etc. with the water Of the milk, each part hav-
ing about the same specific gravity. The
cream globules are itic-and but very little
lighter than the water, and if left to natures
laws, will slowly rise to the surface, the heavi-
erparticles dsplacing them About 50 percent.
of milk is water, which is heavier or more
dense than cream. The cream globules are
poorer conductors Of heat than the water, and
caselne of milk, hence they shrink more slow

apply cold to the milk, the cream globulcs,
being acted upon in less degree than the wa
