had tracked her, in spite of her ar ful dis
euise, TO Eavre. ano there l learned that
on the eve of 9th of February, 1866. she
had taken passage i'm the Vile de Paris,
still in male attire, for New York, i'm COM
pany with lover from London. Once
there. she cast aside her disguise, and
emerged once more as the fascinating wo-
man.
After months of patient labor. she was
apprehended in Philadelphia, and brought
back to- Paris to stand her trial for murder.
As we were unable to prove that she struck
the blow which, caused the death of Zan-
one, she was convicted of forging the letter
TO :he Dublin bankers. and was sentenced
to Imprisonment for twenty::nne years, the
highest penalty for the offence under the
laws of France.

4 COUNTRY EDTTOR'S WAY.

The sayings and doings of the country
editor are not So notable now-a-daSs as in
the old times when rural papers were rarely
conducted on cash basis. and the plants
of the worried fellow on the tripod, who
accepted cord wood or dried pumpkins, or
almost anything eaiabie or saleable, for suS-
scrIptlons, we're fIequeDI and painful and
free. Men i'll desperate straits are afflicted
with strange WITNESSES, and the expressions
OF those dsgusted literary lights were often
strikingly original aud exceedingly gro
tesque. Now, however, things are differ
ent. and rarely does the county editor excel
IN his old specially. A recent case over in
Kentucky, where an editor ''spol1e right
out, is, therefore, exceptionally netable.
He was walking recently upon the street,
enjoying the balmy spring atmosphere,
aud wondering whether, in the yeaI to
come, his paper wouid be established upon
paying basis, when he became aware of
a sudden giggling and tittering behind
him. He turned and saw he source Of the
merIiment. Two well-dressed ladies'
prominent in the town, were in the rear,
aud laughing heartily. Much to the poor
editors surprise, their attention seemed
especially directed to some peculiarly
about his exterior. Then he OWNED, with
a TIN i'll of modification. the cause of their
amusement. Much twisting aud writhing,
while grinding out menial productions,
upon the rrail texture of his pantaloons,
and the cloth had finally yielded. The ed
itors wite-good, thrifty woman-had re-
paired the damage as best she could but
because new cloth matches poorly with the
old, the evidences of her handiwUrk were
all too plainly visible. Hence the cruel
laughter of the ladies behind the country
editor. The poor man fled To his office in
shame. Then his manhood a. serted itself.
and he sat down upon the patch and wrote
something for the paper. Ills next issue
contained this paragraph:
"As we walked past a couple of ladies on
the street the other day, one of them, 20 We
are Informed. observed "A large patch ON our
pants, aud made merry over the discovery.
Well, We do wear old clothes, il is true
but might afford 10 treat ourselves to
better ones If the husband of the woman we
refer td would come 10 the office aud paw us
SlS. which be has been owing for a long
time for subscription and job work"
Doubtless" said logical old English
clergyman, God might have made a bet
ter berry than the straw wberIy. but, doubt
less, God never did" Doubtless some
country editor might make a point more
neatly, but, doubtless, none ever did. If
that little bill of SIS was not settled up
within a week after the appearance of his
paper, then there is no virtue in pungency.
And the occurrence is recen. aud literal
one. st. Louis RcpU1lJeaH.

There's no such a talker as Bob IugerselI.
He cares not for heaven, and stops not for

And lights his cigar in the underground land.

As lightly as birds fit about in a tree,

With an audible snap of his finger and

He disposes at once of The kingdom to come.

Are iwirled in the air on the point of a Jest.
1t is easy enough for the lovers of sin 10
Believe in no heaven they cannot get into;
And natural, too, for the wicked To doubt of

Far out on the prairies, anu pull down his

RUBBER BALLS.
THE CURRENT PROCESS OF MAKING THOSE
PLAYTHINGS.

The process Of king the hollow rubber
balls used by children for playthings is
quite curious, aud may be inter sting to
those not familiar with 1t. A Holyoke
writer thus describes it. The upper room
"f the mil is prepared to push this branch
IF the business for few months. and il
Will probably turn out some 90 600 dozen
Of these balls between January aud June.
These balls have q solid surface. are made
by different process from thac of making
the soft rubber balls which are perforated
by an opening, and of course are much
more firm. durable and elastic. The sheets
of rubber pre- pared for the balls are cut into
strips of double convex shape. The ede es
of The strips are moistened with a prepara
tion of rubber aud naphtha. by which they
are joined firmly together, three of the
strips being used for one bail.
This part of The work Is done by girls and
= skillful girl can earn about 81 80 per day.
When the strips are joined together, the
ball is very nearly the shape of Brazil
nut. Before the last opening Is closed. a
small quantity of carbonate of ammonia
is put inside, which when subjected to
strong heat viii make the rubber expanc
and fill the ball mould. The "pening is
then closed with the adhesive mix ure, aud
of tl:e ball desired. The muulds pack
ed into frames. III which they are subjected
to the heat of the vacaniz.r,
They are krpi III place III the frame by
iron rods along the side, aud when the
flame is full, iron pl ,tes the end ale
screwed down tightly upon the muulds to
hold them in place. These iron plates are

all fly out With nuiSe like the report of "a
DOZEN pistols, aud the work is sp"iled. The

a FREAK OF NATURE. a cow belonging
to solomon Blake. OF Letterkenny town
ship, gave birth to calf which, had il
lived, would have been a great curios ity.
The animal had two distinc heads. e igh.
legs, aud two tails, ard PRESENTED the ap-
peaIance of two calves with the side re-
moved, and the remaining parts placed to-
Gether. On opening the animal two back
bones, two Sc: of lungs, one liver, and one
heart were found. The external Joining
commenced just back of the ear and con-
tinued To near the point where the hip bone

The Financial Puzzle.

Our financial Solomons are at their wits
end, for every days experience is demonstrat
ing their assumed wisdom to be practical
folly. Contrary to all their sage predictions,
the financial recover which distinguished
last week was even more marked on Satur-
day, when our bonds were quoted still higher
in London, and gold sunk to a premium OF
one per cent, and the New York banks re-
ported specie reserve of thirty-seven mil
lion dollars, an amount which was only APP
preached in January, 1870, and has never
been exceeded, we believe, since the suspen-
sion. The New York Euening Post remarks
that the reason gold goes down is that it is
so abundant. OF course it is. That is the
principal reason which has brought 1t down
from 1864, when Mr. Hayes was inaugurated,
to 101 to-day. But why is gold abundant :
Simply because we have for three years
turned the scale of foreign trade in our fla
vor The future of gold is mainly ques-
ton of foreign trade, and the only menace
to a constant supply of gold has been the de
probation of our credit, and the return of
our own bonds instead of gold in pay for our
exports. The plain question is, therefore,
will those bonds continue to return There
is not much probability of it at the prices
which they have already reached in London,
and with the New York market so strong.
When they are higher on this side than in
London, the British holder thinks twice be-
fore selling, and, the second time, he con-
cludes not to sell

BRITISH ENTERpRIsE.-The British Mu-
scum has just secured through its agents in
China a splendid acquisition. This is a
gigantic compendium Of ancient and modern
Chinese literature. This extraordinary COM
pilation was made under the auspices of the
Emperor Kang Iii, printed with movable
type cast for the purpose under the direction
of Jesuit missionaries, and finally issued in
A. ID. l725-l726, The collection contains
between five and six thousand volumes
This vast storehouse of information is ar.
ranged in upwards of six thousand heads
under thirty-two sections, which are again
grouped in six grand categories. The general
index TO the collection fills twenty Chinese
volumes, apart from the more minute in
dexes pertaining to each of the subdivisions
of the work. Years of labor will yet be re
quired in cataloguing, before the collection
can be fairly accessible to European scholars
The Chinese themselves will now be com
PEELED to go to London to study thorough,
their own literature.
