Justifying an Attempted Homicide.
Cincinnati Enquirer.I

About year ago woman named
Anna M. Weigel had her throat cut by
her husband in a quarrel, from the
effects of which she was confined to her
bed for some weeks. She was at that
time a member of three women's benevo-
lentassociations-the Washington Lodge
No. /, Der Frauen.and Jungfrauen, ven
Cincinnati, Ohio; Washington Lodge
No. 3, Der Deutcher Frauen and jung
frauen, Won Cumminsville, Ohio; and
Der Pretestandischer Unter Stutzungs
Verein der Frauen and Jungfrauen, ven
Cincinnati. From each of these socie-
ties she was entitled to certain sum
weekly during illness, but they refused
to give her anything, and yesterday she
brought suit against them before Squire
Schwab for nine dollars each. The de-
fense set up by the Association was the
very peculiar one that her conduct to-
ward her husband was such that she
deserved to have her throat cut, and
that consequently, having brought her
illness on herself, she was not entitled
to any benefit. Squire Schwab over
ruled, as he. did not consider sufficient
evidence had been introduced to show
that the husband had been justified In
cutting his wife's throat. He therefore
gave judgment for the plaintiff in the
full amounts asked for.

A Woman ON her Muscle.

Racine can now come out and claim
enc of the pluckiest, if not the pluckiest
little woman in the State. Her name is
Barbara Hittle, and she lives on the west
side of the city. Barbara has always
been noted among the neighbors as being
a woman of wonderful courage and
pluck. but she never brought it into play
and made heroine Of herself until
Friday night, when she won victory
over two strong tramps. 1t seems
tramps, beggars, etc., have been very
annoying Of late in the neighborhood
where the lady referred to resides, out
never tried to force things until on the
evening above mentioned, when two
burly ruffians made their appearance at
Barbara's house, and asked for some
thing to eat. They were invited in and
a nice supper set before them, of which
they partook freely. When they had
finished they did not thank the kind
hearted lady for her favor, but pro-
ceeded to take improper liberties with
her. Did she cali for help when the
villains did so7 Oh, no. She merely
grasped large oak club that was lying
near by, and with the first blow she
knocked one of the fellows senseless on
the floor, and mauled the other fellow
numerically until he begged piteously
for mercy, and the brave little woman
ceased to beat him. Then she took the
one she had knocked senseless and
dragged him out of doors, where she
soused him with pail of slops that was
standing near by, which soon brought
him around, and he left in hurry as
his companion had done previously. Il
there is a woman who could have done
better than this in the State, Racine
people would like to hear from her.

then put to it tablespoonful of catsup
and the beef cut in thin slices; let it
simmer from five to ten minutes, but on
no account let it boil. as this would
render the meat tasteless and insipid.
RICE croquettes: Half a pound of
rice, one quart of milk, six ounces of
pounded sugar, favoring vanilla, lemon
peel, or bitter almonds, egg and bread
crumbs, hot lard. Put the rice, milk
and sugar into a saucepan, and let the
former gradually swell over gentle fire
until all the milk is dried up; and just
before the rice is done, stir in few
drops of essence of any of the above
favorings. Let the rice get cold; then
form it into small round balls, dip them
into yolk of egg, sprinkle them with
bread-crumbs, and fry them in boiling
lard for about. ten minutes, turning
them about that they may get equally
Drowned. Drain the greasy moisture
from them, by placing them on cloth
in front of the fire for minute or two !;
pile them on white d'oyley, and send
them quickly to table. A small piece

middle of each croquette, which adds
very much to the flavor of this favorite
dish

Is an easy stage in cases of dyspepsia. A
slight attack of indigestion, especially when
there is predisposition to digestive weak
ness of the stomach, must speedily cul-
inmate in the more obstinate form of the
disease. 1t is we'll, therefore, to adopt
preventive measures early. Although Hos
letters Stomach Bitters overcomes, if per-
sisted in, cases of dyspepsia of long standing,
it is obviously the part of wisdom to use it
ere the malady assumes chronic phase.
This is particularly true, because as dys-
pepsia advances, it engenders other bodily
evils, such as disorder of the liver, consti-
patton or undue looseness of the bowels,
nervous disorders, hypochondria, sleepless.
ness. These maladies are both prevented
and remedied by the Bitters, but how much
better to check them in their outset with
the great alternative, than to wait until
thew established firmer foothold in the
system. Surely the advisability of this
must be apparent.

Singular Facts About Yellow Fever.


Another singular fact is that the first
death from yellow fever occurred on the
2lst of July, on a street well paved and
in aneighborhood of the wealthy fact
the more wonderful when it is remem-
bered that New Orleans has very few
paved streets, and, further, that by far
the largest number of deaths are on the
streets well paved and near the Missis-
sippi river, while out in the rear portion,
where the draining canals are reeking
with filth, where dead dogs and cats are
floating around, with green scum
nearly two inches thick, with the hot
sun pouring down upon them at tenn
perature of about 900 Fahrenheit, there
has not been a single death from yellow
fever. Again, in the Third District of
this city, where there were over five
hundred deaths from the yellow fever in
1870, not death has occurred so far,
and the same may be said of the Fifth
District, situated on the opposite side of
the river, surrounded by swamps and
very filthy. s &sel oa ~ e',.s -

As it is generally useless to try to
persuade a horse to take medicine vol
UNFAIRLY, owing to his inability to ap-
preciate its advantages, combined with
his dislike for the taste, mechanical
means are resorted to. Angingenious
apparatus in this line has Just been in
vented. 1t consists 8of wooden gag
bit, which is placed id the horses mouth
and attached to the .headstall. BY pull
ing cord, the gag rs turned bylevers,
compelling the animal to open its mouth.
The stem of the medicine receptacle,
which looks like an exaggerated tobacco
pipe, is then inserted in the bit and
clamped therein. Then by opening q
valve in the, receptacle, the medicine
previously placed therein runs down
the animals throat. Also in the stem ID
a kind of fork, which, when q pill is to
be administered, holds the same until
it is washed down by charge of water
poured into the bowl.

Simple Cure for Yellow Fever.

We are requested to publish the fol-
lowing simple remedy for yellow fever,
which comes in letter from Paris,
written by the son of French physi-
clan. The writer has been for sixteen
years a traveller in the Antilles, Rio
Janeiro, the Congo coast, and other
localities liable to the epidemic, and
personally testifes to its efficacy as
preventive as we'll as cure:
"Never use raw water. Boil thor
oughly all water for drinking, and even
for washing purposes. In water used
for cooking, see that it boils at least
during twenty minutes. To cure attacks
of yellow fever, give large quantities of
boiled water, which must be taken luke
warm. Continue to give it, even in the
attacks of vomiting, which will surely
follow the swallowing of the first quart.
Let the patient drink gallon, if pos
sible, and if all thrown up, force him
even to take as much more. After twelve
hours of such treatment the patient is
convalescent, and all danger is over.s IF
the patient be in the second stage of the
disease, give first an emetic, and then
large quantities of tepid water, (which
has been thoroughly boiled and a sure
cure will follow" Three reasons are
added to inspire faith in the writer's
advice: 81. Yellow fever is the exclusive
result of the ingestion of waters that
have become corrupt. 2. By boiling
these waters become inofensive 8.
Boiled water is eminentlv destructive to
all fermentation

servants, so well as to assist largely in
keeping up Mr.. Clay's fortune, which
was constantly subjected to heavy
drains. She often pulled the finest of
her vegetables with her own hands, and
sent them, with butter, milk, and fruit,
regularly to the market to be sold. My
