SLAPPED HER FACE

and the row commenced. Miles got be-
tween them, and Cannon got behind Miss
Ovens and held her hands, and told her TO
leave his house. She ran into the street,
where she met some apostles who were go
ing to take her home, when Miles and Can
non came and dragged her into the house.
They then tried TO calm her, and finally
got her to consent to play some quadrilles.
As she sat at the piano waiting for them to
form sets on the floor, she heard Miles ask
Emily to dance with him. She said she
would not play for that woman to dance,
and SO left the piano and ran up TO her
room. This was about ten o'clock. At
one, when she was asleep. Miles came TO
her room, and by force spent the night with
her The next day a writ Of habeas corpus
WAS issued, and she was brought
before Judge Schaeffer, and pro-
ceediugs commenced for commitment for
bigamy by Judge Van Zile.
Col Shaughnessy took her to his own
hone, and she is still there.
The case has excited the interest Of the
whole Gentle community, and the country
at large will be interested TO learn this
story and its result. i asked her if she had
formed any plans for the future; she said
she had not, and would not think of any
until this suit was decided, and it was
determined whether she was his wife or
not.
As came away she told me che blamed
herself in great measure for her present
desolate position, 'but you must remember
that he is the only man l ever loved, and
that love him nov, and don't think /
can ever love another as do him." 1t is
cad story, look at it as We may, and her
present situation is one for which she mer-
its the warmest sympathy of common hu-
manity.
Judge Van Zile will exhaust every re-
source a. his command to convict Miles,
but there are obstacles under the present
law that seem almost insurmountable.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE TILL IT
RIPENS,

There is n curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Undcrhill. the wcll-know1
Erapc-growcr Of Croton Point, died in 1871.
Some OF his heirs entertained temperance
views OF such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
Inc grapes; have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for settlement
OF the estate and the sale of the wines on
hand. Among these is a wine Of the vintage
OF 1864, described as "Swect Union Port,'
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
growth. Its purity, age and mcllowncss are
remarkable, and both physicians and wine
iancicrs have special interest in il rs the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
hands Of the wcll-known wholesale grocery
house of the Thurbers.--W. Y. 7i46xne,

An Experiment for Boys.

Take two empty oyster cans and stout
smooth string. Let small hole be made in
the bottom OF each can, through which the
string. say fifty TO one hundred feet in length,
is passed aud secured. Then let the expert
menters set up their telegraph by choosing
their stations AS far apart AS the tightly
stretched string will permit, and while one
operator holds his ears TO one of the cans
and his companion his mouth to the can at
the other end of the line they will find that
a conversation can be carried on, so that
low tones, aud even a Whisper will be dis
tinctly perceptible. What usually most as
tonishes those who make this experiment for
the first time is that the sound of the voice
does not seem 10 come from the person
speaking at the other end OF the string, but
10 issue from the can itself, which is held to
the ear OF the listener. This at first appears
to be deception, but ii is really not So
| The ear tells the exact truth. The voice
that is heard really comes from the can that
is held to the ear OF the hearer The voice
of the speaker communicate sound produc-
ing vibrations 10 the wall of the can with
which his voice is in immediate contact.
/ These vibrations are communicated 10 the
string. but so changed that they no longer
affect the ear A person may stand by the
string while the sound is passing, and yet
| hear nothing At the other end of the string,
however, these hidden vibrations reproduce
themselves as sound.

Keep Your Eye on the Marx.

A light snow had fallen, and the boys of
l. desired to make the most of il and
as 1t was too dry for suowballing, and not
deep enough for coasting, they thought it
would do very well 10 make tracks in. Near
by there was large meadow and it was
proposed that they should go to a tree which
stood near the centre of the meadow, and
that each one should start from the tree TO
the boundaries of the meadow. The propo.
sition was assented to, and they were soon
at the tree. They ranged themselves around
the tree with their backs toward it, and
started, each one retracing his steps to the
tree. After they had returned, they looked
back to see how straight the tracks were.
"Whose is the straightest Z" said James
Ali .on to Thomas Sanders, who was the
first at the tree.
Henry Armstrong; is the only one that
is straight at ALL said Thomas.

A Ship-lOad Of Monkeys.

An American consular officer, now in
Washington on leave of absence, relates n
very funny occurrence which came undel
his observation during his official residence
in Liverpool A wealthy ship owner who
was better at making money than at spell
ing, sent an order to Bombay and among
other things wrote for two monkeys, which
he wanted to present to some friends but
departing from the usual mode of spelling
the word ttco, he put IL too. Perhaps tn,
handwriting was not very legibe, as is often
the case with others than illiterate shin
owners. At any rate, the master of the shin
read 1t 100, as did also the agents at Bonn
bay. There was much establishment at So
strange an order, hut the master was bound
to obey it. Accordingly the services of a
number of natives were secured, the countr,
round about was secured, aud in few davs
hundred monkeys of all colors and previous
conditions were secured. There were littl
black monkeys, with eyes like beads bigger
monkeys with whiskers, and balloons who's
grave expression of countenance presented a
ridiculous contrast to their undignfed All.
tics The whole crowd chartered. screamed
aud fought in the cage which had been pro
vided for them in the ship, in spite of al
efforts to keep them quiet. In a few day.
the homeward voyage was begun and witt
it the troubles of the crew.
As soon as the motion of the ship was
felt the monkeys redoubed their noise, max
ing regular pandemonium of the ship
Relays of them shook the bars of the Gag,
without a moments hesitation for twenty
three hours out of each twenty four, unit
the cage was literally shaken 10 pieces, and
the astonished sailors behed cloud oil

IMPORTANCE OF MANURE.-A correspond.
ent of the Country Gentsman says truly
" All the success in farming is dependent
upon the chief element, manure. 1t is the
profit upon this, the raw material, that adj
vances farming. Whatever manure. there
fore, is wasted is a loss. Now the waste in
this respect is enormous, owing chiefly Ia
carelessness also TO ignorance. How many
farmers know the elements of manure and
their comparative value How many know
how TO apply manure2 This last IL much
more important than is usually supposed.
BUTT prevent waste is the most important of
all, rs it embraces the others. Aud what is
worse, the wasted is the best part"
