breaking . Quarantine.

- Aldispatch from Galveston says This after
noon a train prepared left for Houston to test
whether that city would enforce its quarantine
in disobedisnee to the Governors proclamation,
ordering it removed. With the train went a
United States Marshal, forty deputies, the
United States Commissioner and District At
torney it being the intention Of these officers
to arrest all parties attempting to stop the
train, n try them for interfering with
United States mails. The train was
stopped at the county line by the
Houston Health Officers, who were promptly
arrested, as were the Health Officers
at Wsbsterville. Both were released on bond.
The train proceeded. Trouble is apprehended
when the train reaches Houston.
The Ne,cs' special from Houston says the
Galveston train arrived at GAS p m. OBJ
structions were placed on the track below the
city, and when the train stopped all the persons
aboard were arrested by Marshal Morris, who
refused to recognize the authority Of the Cover
nor or the United States Marshal. Great e1-
element prevails.

USEFUL IMPORTATION.

CASTOR OIL, besides being an excel
lent dressing for leather, renders it
vermin-proof. It should be mixed, say
half and half, with tallow or other oil.
Neither rats, reaches, nor other vermin
will attack leather SO prepared.
MANY persons dislike lettuce as a
salad. They may not be aware that,
when boiled, minced, and properly pre-
pared with butter, salt, and pepper, it is
q very pleasant addition to the dinner
table, and finer than cabbages, which,
are a great deal more expensive. A trial
will convince the most skeptical of this
fact;
Is PYRoLIGNEoUs acid may be used with
success in preserving leather from the
attacks of mold, and is serviceable in
recovering it after it has received that
species of damage by passing it over
the surface of the hide or skin, first
taking due care to remove the moldy
spots by the application of dry cloth.
As FAR as real beauty is. concerned a
plaster figure is as satisfactory as mar
BILE, but the cheap material shows its
inferiority by turning yellow and gath
ering dust to an extent that makes it
very unlike the thing of beauty which
it is meant to be. A coating of whiting
and very thin glue, applied, with o brush,
will restore its wilderness and make it
once more a real ornament.
70 REPAIR a damaged mirror: Pour
upon a sheet of tin-foil about three
drachms of quicksilver to the square
foot of foil. Rub smartly with a piece
of buckskin until the foil becomes
brilliant. Lay the glass upon a fat
table, face downwards; place the foil
upon the damaged portion of the glass;
lay a sheet of paper over the foil, and
place upon it a block of wood or a
piece of marble with a perfectly flat
surface; put upon it sufficient weight
to press it down tight; let it remain in
this position a few hours. The foil will
adhere to the glass.
To CLEAN PICTURES: Wash with a
sponge, or a soft leather, and water, and
dry by rubbing with a silk handkerchief.
When the picture is very dirty take it
out of its frame, procure a clean towel.
and, making it quite wet, lay it on the
face of the picture, sprinkling it from
time to time with clear, soft water /; let
it remain wet for two or three days
take the cloth off and renew it with a
fresh one. After wiping the picture
with a clean, wet sponge, repeat the
process till all the dirt is soaked out
then wash it we'll with a soft sponge,
and let it quite dry. Finally, rub il
with some clear nut or linseed oil
Spirits Of wine and %turpentine may be
used to dissolve the hard old varnish
but they will attack the paint as well as
the varnish, if the further action of the
spirits is not stopped at the proper
time.

Organized IncendIarie..

Columbus, Ohio, for the past six months, has
been inflicted by the presence of what appears
to be an organized band of ~incendiaries. Last
winter a paper of that city received anonymous
postal cards threatening the destruction Of
property by fire, the faces of which bore upon
them spots of blood. Immediately thereafter
four fires occurred, one of them being the Neil
Stock-yards, which the writer had mentioned
on the postal card as one of the premeditated
incendiaries. Other communications are now
being received to the same effect, in the same
hand writing-the writer declaring that he is
not a tramp, but desires to give work to unem-
ployed Uorkinpmen.

Of the Fifth Infantry, bringing with him nearly
a thousand half breeds, who have been furn-

The tramps between Dayton and Cincinnati,
Ohio, seem to steadily grow more and more
audacious in their ill-behavior. In one day
two sisters were simultaneously attacked by
two burly brutes, but one of the girls happened
to carry a large hickory stick, and with that,
she put her assailant to flight, and then went
to the aid of her sister. The tramps, seeing
they were worsted, procured clubs and returned
to the !" scene in the lane +" to renew the attack,
but were prevented only by the appearance of a
wagon emerging from the woods. Let all girls
carry hickory clubs that is, those. who can't

A Specimen of Australian Vengeance.


A writer of Australian life relates the
following story in the Boston CONNER
ciat Bulletina One evening, on re-
turn of the miners to camp, there was a
terrible cutlery from one of the tents
Scores of miners rushed in q body to
the, place whence the cry issued and
found a miner bending over his mate,
who, having been sick, had not gone
out that day. The sick man was dead,
with a dagger in his heart, and the box
on which he lay for a bed showed evi-
dence of having been broken open and
rifed of its contents. The body was
still warm, showing that the deed had
but recently been perpetrated. The
miners Immediately scattered in pursuit
of the murderer or murderers. An
hour later a nan was brought in-one
of the most Misunderstanding characters
lever beheld. His pockets were filed
with gold, which was identified by the
surviving mate as the property of him
self and his dead comrade.
There was no mistake about the mat
ter The bags in which the dust was
contained were marked with the Joint
names Of the mates, and the identity of
the nuggets the surviving mate swore
to. This was sufficient to establish the
guilt of the accused Some were for
hanging him on the spot, but the law
abiding portion of the community, be-
ing in the majority, insisted upon his
having o fair trial. ! He wa remanded
for the night and a guard placed over
him.
Next morning he was missing. How
he eluded the guard they knew not, but
that he had escaped there could be no
doubt. What was worse, he carried of
the gold with him which had been
placed for safe keeping in the prison to
be used as testimony against him.
It was deemed idle to pursue him,
but a description of the murderer was
drawn up and circulated, and reward
offered for his capture, dead OF alive.
A week passed away without any tidings
being heard of the fugitive. At the
end of that time a native came into
camp and, leaving a letter for the pre-
siding magistrate, disappeared as sud-
denly as he came. The letter was short,
but it was to the point:
Mr.. MAGISTRATE Jim Bell (the murdered
mani was once q mate of mine. He was agood
man. You will find Bill Grimes, his murder
or, at the head Of Dead Horse gully; I have
kept the gold for the reward.

A wIaov,s ssr.nr. AbauetIon,

The adjoining county of Ebert, Georgia, is
excited over the KIDNAPPING Of Mrs. Pullian,
q fine looking and well-to-do widow living near
the county town. Her house was forcibly en-
tered at night by . man who broke down her
door, and announcing that he was a revenue
agent, ordered her to get up and dress. She
asked to be allowed to light a lamp SO that she
could get her clothes, but her abductor would
not allow this. Her little daughter was left in
the bed alone. There were persons near the
door, but only one entered the house. There
is not the slightest clue to the cause Of the alb.
duction or the men. who did it, although the
country has been secured by scouting parties
ever since it occurrsd-h is guessed that some
lover may havscarried away the eomely widow.
