A Life in Bed.

A few weeks ago, says the Lowell
(Mass.) NAL, we published paragraph
concerning a woman, in some far-away
land, who had been twenty years in bed.
We have been told of a case more re-
markable than that in town in New
Hampshire, within half a DAYS ride of
Lowell. More than forty years ago a
handsome, intelligent daughter of a
thrifty farmer of that town became at
tached to young man in her neigh
borhood, toward whom her parents
were not favorably disposed. They
would not consent to her marriage. and
she, though competent to reason with
herself and them on the subject, gave

How Edison Trieked the Telegraph
Operator.

It may be remembered that when
Edison was bothered by the sending of
messages too quick to be interpreted he
invented a continuance by which the
messages came in as slow as he desired,
however fast they might have been sent.
Recently he was asked how he managed
this, and the following is his explana-
ton in his own words: "The apparatus
for accomplishing this object consisted
of two Morse registers and sounder.
The first Morse register indented the
characters on the paper. This paper
passed through the second register, the
lever of which was arranged with pla-
tina point to open and close the circuit
of sounder, and this lever was SO ad-
justed that the thickness of the paper
intervening between the stylus and
roller prevented the lever from closing
the sounder circuit; but when an in
dented character passed, the thickness
of paper ceased to intervene, and the
sounder closed. Thus every thing re-
corded Oh the first register by the press
operator at any speed was repeated on
the sounder a few minutes after at
higher or less speed"

A SagaciOus Dog.

Some one at the British Associations
meeting at Dublin read paper Oh the
intellect of animals. He cited no case
SO remarkable as that of Cuchino's dog,
which lives on this boat. This, and the
steamer which runs to Desenzano-fff-
teen miles away, at the southwest cor
ner of the lake-start from Riva, at the
north end of Garda. The dog was
familiar with the crews of both, and
with the other craft, but he had never
made a trip by her. For a long time
he watched her course down the other
side of the lake, and saw her drawing
farther and farther away. until she was
hidden by the projecting point. One
day, his mind fully settled to it's theory,
he proceeded to verify it. He marched
deliberately over to Desenzano, took
passage, came safely to Riva, and went
back to his familiar kitchen with an air
of entire satisfaction. He could not be
induced to make another trip by that
boat. He had done" it, and had no
more worlds to conquer in that direc-
ton. He had reasoned out a plan of
action, and had found his reasoning
correct.-C0l. Geo. E.. Warning, IN Haq'-

What Makes BOW-LegS.

Bow-legs and knock-knees are among
the commonest deformities of human
ity, and Manchester (Eng.) physician
DR.. Camp attributes the frst-men-
toned distortion to habit some young
sters delight in of rubbing the sole of
one foot against that of the other; some
will go to sleep with the soles together.
They appear to enjoy the contact only
when the feet are naked; they don't at
tempt to make it when they are socked
or slippered. So the remedy is obvious;
keep the baby's soles covered. Knock
knees the doctor ascribes to different
childish habit-that of sleeping on the
side, with one knee tucked under the
hollow or behind the other. He has
found that where one leg has been bowed
inward more than the other the patient
has always slept on one side and the up
permost member has been the most de-
formed. Here the preventive is to pad
the inside of the knees, SO as to keep
them apart, and let the limbs grow
freely their own way All of which is
commended to mothers who desire the
physical uprightness OF their progeny.

The Boomerang.

This curious weapon, peculiar to the
native Australian, has often proved a
puzzler to men of science. It is a piece
of carved wood, nearly in the form of
crescent, from thirty to forty inches
long, pointed on both ends, and the cor
ner quite sharp. The mode of using is
quite as singular as the weapon. Ask a
black to throw it so as to fall at his
feet, and away it goes full forty yards
before him, skimming along the surface
at three or four feet from the ground,
when it will suddenly rise in the air
forty or sixty feet, describing curve,
and finally drop at the feet of the
thrower. During it's course it revolves
with great rapidity, as on a pivot, with
whizzing noise. It is wonderful SO
barbarous people should have invent
ed so singular weapon, which sets
laws of progression at defiance. It is
very dangerous for European to try
to project it at any object, as it may re-
turn and strike himself. In natives
hand it is formidable weapon, striking
without the protector being seen; like
the Irishman's gun, shooting round a
corner equally as well as straightfor-
ward.

RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE.
Fearful Encounter Between Farmer and
an Ok Mad with Hydrophobia.
From the Reading Eagle.7

from the Reading Eagle.]
Near Orwigsburg, Pa, George Her
man, well-to-do farmer, narrowly es
capped being killed by an OK which was
suffering from hydrophobia. The ami
NAL had been raised by Mr.. Herman. A
few days ago it was bitten by dog sup
posed to be mad. On Wednesday
evening Mr.. Herman noticed that the
OK acted strangely, and he penned it UP
in shed in the barnyard. About
O'Clock yesterday morning he was awak-
ened by hearing strange sounds in the
direction OF the barn. Surprising that
one of the horses was unweu he went
out, and was surprised to see the OK
raving around the barnyard, uttering
low means and tearing up the ground
with its horns. When Mr.. Her.
man entered the yard the OK
stopped its strange antics, and he
approached it. When he was about
twenty feet from the animal it lowered
it's head and, with roar, made rush
ut him. The man retained his presence
of mind and, as the animal approached,
he stepped to one side, but in doing so
he was struck in the face by a hoof.
He staggered to his feet and made
toward garden fence, but the OK
turned and charged after him. The
distance was about thirty yards, and the
race was won by the man, who reached
the fence and fairly threw himself over
it. Before he could rise from the
ground there was terrible crash, and
the OK dashed through the fence, scat
tering the boards right and left and
rolling headlong over Mr.. Herman. It
didn't take the man long to get on his
feet and escape over another fence
which surrounds the house. His clothes
were badly used up and his face was
covered with blood from the wound
caused by the kick he had received;
but he was not seriously injured. /
After getting a gun and loading it
with powder and handful of bird shot
wrapped in a rag, Herman returned to
the fray. He found the OK paving the
ground wrathfully, and pausing occa-
sionally to dig his horns viciously into
it, at the same time giving vent to roars
that could be heard more than mile
away. The animals head was covered
with blood from cuts received by but
ting it's way out of the stable, and great
quantities of saliva issued from it's
mouth. Herman mounted stone wall
which runs along one side of the garden,
and from there fired two shots at the in
furiated OK. The first shot took effect
in it's neck, and only seemed to increase
it's rage, for, with blind fury, it charged
at the stone wall and battered it's head
against the stones. The second shot,
however, struck the OK in the side, and
killed it. On going to the stable where
the animal had been penned the night
before, Herman found the sides of that
structure completely battered to pieces,
and in another part of the yard he
found a hog, weighing nearly 200
pounds, dead, and gored toa shapeless
mass of jelly.

TFrom the Chicago Tribune. I

The details of the Chisolm massa-
ere, as told by Mrs. Chisolm during the
first days session of the prosecution of
the murderer of her daughter, leave
that unmistakable impress of truth
which will not fail to strike every one
who reads it with horror. Dreadful as
that story was when first told, it's brutal
and bloody features are still further
emphasized by her simple, straightfor-
ward, personal statement, which is cor
roborated in all it's details by other wit
nesses.
In all the annals of crime, whether
in civilized communities or among the
savages Of the plains, it will be difficult
to find anything more pitilessly inhu-
man or fiendishly brutal than the work
of those Southern demons on that
April Sunday morning in DeKalb. The
story may be briefly told. With
the original charge made against
the husband OF Mrs. Chisolm,
namely, that he had instigated
some one to kill one of the Gully
family-a charge known to be false the
public is already familiar; likewise with
his removal to the Jail, whittier he was
accompanied by his wife, daughter and
three sons, fer protection against the
mob. The officers of the law could
! To- 4o
expect in the State of Mississippi, where
there is no law but the law OF violence,
no rule but mob-rule The mob broke
into the jail and swarmed up the stairs,
armed with pistols and shot-guns. Some
of them broke down the door with axes
while others fired through the grating
One wretch, named Rosser, who paid
for his fendishness with his life, shot
the little boy Johnny, and, with an
oath, threatened to shoot Cornelia, the
daughter, if she did not get out of the
way. After he had slaughtered the lit
tie fellow a shot struck him and killed
him, whereupon the cowardly pack ran
down the stairs, threatening to fire the
jail. The bloody scene that followed
we give in Mrs. Chisolm's own lam
guage:
When got in found that Johnny was dead.
His clothes were on fire, and wet my fingers
in his blood and put out the fire. Cornelia
thought that she had put out the fire, but she
did not complete the work. They had borne
the body behind the cages, SO as to prevent him
being trampled to pieces. The crowd cried
out Fire the Jail, and we feared we should
be burned out We got everything in readi-
ness to leave. My daughter said, as we started
down the stairs, that Johnny died an easy
death, and that it was better to be shot than to
be burned to death. When we got to the foot
of the stairs We were stopped by the grating
door. Here Gully had gun pointed through
the CRATE, and 1 thought he was going to shoot
me; but he turned the barrel back and forth to
aim at my husband. / cried out tot Mr.. Chisolm,
Down." My daughter threw her arms about
her fathers neck. and cried out, Have you not
had blood enough for one day II
you want more, take mine, and spare
my precious papa" Mr.. Gully turned
the gun again and shot her in the
arm, breaking her bracelet, and driving the
crushed edges into her ann. He stepped back
then, and that let US out of the stairway to the
first floor, and We tried to take refuge behind
