ATTEMPTED BuRGLARY.-Last Monday
morning between one and two O'Clock, an at
tempt was made to enter tho store of w. F.
Finger & Co., corner of Union and Coryel
streets, in this city. A basement window on
the Coryell street side was forced open, but
about this time private Waterman Hill came
along, and signal whistle was given by some
one who was evidently on the watch for him.
Hill saw two men run off--one down Coryell
street and the other up Coryell street. He
called upon them to halt and fired his pistol
at one of them, but did not succeed in bring
ing him to halt. Had it not been for his
timely arrival, it is probable that the fellows
would have made good haul.

Fit for Hump Backed Women.

Yesterday afternoon meek looking
young lady entered store on North
Second street and, pointing to dolman
she drew a saleslady aside:
''Miss, is it true that none but hump
backed women wear those things?"
mo, indeed, it isn't, for 1 wear one, -
Indignantly replied the saleslady.
The meek looking young woman col
ored up and then asked:
'And is it true that a woman who
wears one isn't thought much Off"
NO." snapped the saleslady.
And does every woman who wears
one get sick and die i'm less than yearY"
continued the meek looking young
woman.
No, of course not" was the quick
reply. 0
Then the meek-looking woman put
her handkerchief to her eyes and COM
menced weeping, and between her sobs
she Dlurted out such expressions -
"Oh, the villaini Oh, the wretchI"
why, what's the matter, MADAME"
inquired the saleslady.
'Matterl" responded the weeping
woman, stamping her foot angrily upon
the floor. why, here have only been
married three weeks, and when I ask
my husband for money to buy q dolman.
he tells me that they are enly fit fol
hump-backed women, and that they ara
not respectable, and that, III die in .

Professor Tyndall closed a discourse
at the Royal Institution, with the fol-
lowing positive language: 81 hardly
think it necessary to summarize up
what has been brought before you.
In fact, the whole discourse is but a
summing up of eight months of inces-
SAINT labor. From the beginning to the
end of the inquiry there is not, as you
have seen, a shadow of evidence in
favor of the doctrine of spontaneous
generation. There is, on the contrary,
overwhelming evidence against it. But
do not carry awry with you the notion
sometimes enormously ascribed to me
that 1 deem spontaneous generation
impossible" or that l wish to limit
the power of matter in relation to life.
My views on this subject ought to be
well known. But possibility is one
thing and proof is another; and when
in our day seek for experimental evil
dence of the TRANSFORMED on of the
non-living into the living, am led in
exorably to the conclusion that no such
evidence exists, and that in the lowest,
as in the highest of organized crea-
lures, the method Of nature is that life
shall be the issue of antecedent life.

The Cost OF Diving.

The population of the world at the
close of the year 1876 is estimated a.
,423, ,9l7 600. Admitting that the av-
erage duration of human life is 33
years, the deaths will be 43,455, ,O60 a
year. According to the most reliable
data, it costs about an average of 800
to defray the expenses of Christian
funeral. If, therefore, all the nations
of the earth were Christians, the funer-
al bills would amount TO S4.3i5, ,J06, 600
annually. The question that will at
an early day confront economists will
be, "Cannot some way be divised TO die
cheaper?" Evidently it costs too much
to get decently under the sod-too much
for rosewood collins, plumed hearses,
monumental marble, fashionable cem-
etary lots and mourning costumes.
Fashion is too supreme at funerals.
The tickle goddess is too potential in
debating the tit and fabric of shroud
and winding sheet and the style of sill
yer plates and nails. Mourning goods
are manufactured To order and graded
first, second, and third; every sigh has
its peculiar tint until at last the world
observes that the days of sadness are
past and the dear departed" are for
gotten. The poor can hardly afford to
die, rude country coffin no longer
answers the purpose. The style of a
burial case is matter of deep concern,
and in many cases the living are robbed
of the absolute necessaries of life that
the dead may have fashionable funer-
al. Speculation in cemetary lots is now
a feature in real estate transactions,
and there are aristocratic avenues in the
cities of the dead as well as in the cities
of the living. Pride erects its monu-
ments on the grand thoroughfares, and
the gaping multitude discuss the for
mer Opulence of those who lie under
sculptured marble. The population Of
the United States is estimated at 4O,-
100000, which will give, according TO
accepted death-rates, about 100000
deaths annually. Estimating the av-
erage cost of a funeral at 500 we
have death tax of about SI25, 900 600
annually, or something over 50 per
capita for every man, woman and
child in the country. Manifestly this
sum is too large. Common sense de-
mands that it should be reduced. The
discussion will hardly be undertaken by
the undertakers, and the livery-stable
men may regard it somewhat hack
peyed, nevertheless the fact stands that
it costs too much to die.-Indionopolis

The Garnet Pest.

The new carpet pest christened An1t-
rcn's StTophulariG is exciting consider
able apprehension from the ravages it
is committing on carpets in various
places in the east, principally in New
York. 1t works upon the under
side of carpets, as laid upon the floor,
and thus escapes the eye of the house
keeper until its work is so far COM
pleted that the carpet is destroyed.
Various remedies have been suggested,
and tried without securing a means Of
prevention or destruction. The use of
kerosene, by means OF saturated cotton
in crevices and along base boards is
recommended.
