robbery was the object of the assault is
evident from the fact that his pockets
had been rifed, and his pocket-book,
containing $3.50, stolen. That it was
the work of tramps, is also believed, be-
cause the house had been broken into
the night before and quantity of pro-
visions stolen. a portion of which was
found secreted in the hay-mow, where
it is evident the men have for several
DAYS been in hiding. 1t is thought
that Mr.. GoOdale in entering the
stable was surprised by his assassins and
knocked senseless ere he had chance
to cry for help, and after committing
the robbery they fled. No trace of the
assassins has been found, although
many citizens are securing the country
round about. 1t is thought that whoeV-
er committed the assault knew well that
Mr.. Goodale was in the habit of carry
ing large sums of money on his person,
and possibly knew that on the day before
he had drawn 5000 from the Mahuievie
Bank of Great Darlington in which he
was a prominent stakeholder. A re-
ward of $500 has been offered for the
arrest of the assailant. Mr.. Goodale
had a large interest in the marble quar-
ries, and is the father of S. B. Goodale,
dealer in real estate in New York, and
the grandfather of Elaine and Dora
Goodale, the gifted little girls whose
book of poems, entitled "Apple Bios

Kentucky's Mighty Hunter.

Speaking of fox scalps and 10 Win
locks lesson to the old County Clerk of
Warren, reminds us of another anec-
dote, says the Frankfort YeOman: In
a certain county of Kentucky-we won't
specify, because it may be a sore sub
ject-a certain man, named for conve-
nience "Jim Skaggs,'' was in the hab-
it of taking in number of wolf scalps
every year. The tax, we believe, at the
time was 81 or 50 for each scalp. He
was accounted the most successful of
all the wolf hunters in that section.
Wolves were very scarce at that time.
One season, however, this successful
business was brought to an end. Col.
John Thompson Gray, a former resident
of Franklin County, but now of Louis
vile, a famous devotee of the rod and
gun, happened to make an excursion to
that section, and one day, when en-
camped where bass were taken, he was
startled by the sudden appearance of a
large she wolf on the opposite bank.
He secured his gun Immediately, and,
before the animal had time to retreat,
- let drive - at her with a heavy charge
of buckshot She fell "dead in her
tracks," as the hunters say. just then
a couple of men of the neighbOrhood
emerged upon the scene, and, discover
ING the result of the shot, one of them
exclaimed, "My God, mister, you've
killed jim Skaggs's livin'!" Col. Gray
couldn't understand; but the men eX-
planned that the she wolf was recog-
nized as the property of Jim Skaggs,
who was lin the business of wolf rails
ing and as the greater part of his in
come was derived from that source, this
she wolf was known in the county as
''Jim Skaggs's livin'! He had regu-
larlv taken the face and ears of her an
nual produce of whelps to the Clerk s
office and obtained his certificates. Col
Gray was advised to leave the neighbor.
hood without delay, as "Jim would be
red hot, >" and it thought be that al
the county would rise up 1t is need.
less to say he took the scalp Of the vol

Ancient Fancies Regarding the Beard.

Mr.. Darwin, in his "Descent of
Man," inclines to the belief that the
beard was originally ornamental. Ladies
liked bearded man; he was popular in
primitive society, could select the fairest
fair, his offspring resembled him, and so
on, according to the popular statements
of this theory of selection. If this view
be true, it must be admitted that wom-
en- soon change their minds. "There Is
no wife for a bearded man." says a
Maori proverb. The Mortimer who
settled in Iceland were entirely of the
opposite way of thinking, and the only
reproach that his foes brought against
Nal was his lack of beard. The
Egyptians, as rule, were clean shaver,
especially the priests, 4" and for this they
gave certain sacred reason," which,
initiating HerodOtus, we - do not think
it lawful to divulge." The neighboring
Libvans, on the other hand, were beard
ed, and the northern maritime enemies
of the Egyptians, probably the early
Greeks, wore rather thin yellow boards.
Yet out of shaven Egypt the Israelites
carried boards which they highly re-
spected. To cut an ENJOYS beard was
a gross insult, and he was obliged to
tarry somewhere till his beard was
grown. Friends might touch the beard
in a reverential sort of way, and thus
Joab took hold of that of Amasa and
ran him through the body with his
sword. The Assyrian kings wore enor-
nous boards, and many curled tiers, or
stories, and we have an impression that
some Orientals carried their beard in a
box. DR.. Doran, in writing on the
beard, gravely maintains that the early
Greeks were shaven, and that they
called bearded and alien races "bar-
barous," connecting the word with bar
ba, :. beard But HOmer's Greeks,
we know, wore their boards, and the
race recognized as Greek on the Egyp-
tain monuments are sometimes bearded.

" Caterpillary DetracfiOn."

The Dean of Pompoonik University
read in a New York paper some time
ago that a man in Georgia had greatly
improved watermelon by feeding il
sweetened water by means of two bot
ties and piece of tape. He firmly be-
lieved the yarn and thought he would
embark in the business, and secure a
niche in the temple of fame by placing
on the market something really worth
eating. He borrowed a half-gallon OF
whisky and couple of pounds of sug-
ar, and mixed them thoroughly. He
bore the Jug to a convenient melon patch,
picked out plump melon, and ran his
knife-blade through its stem. He then
took about half yard of candlewick,
tucked one end in the hole made in the
stem and inserted the other in the jug
of sweetened whisky. At the end of a
week the melon had grown fully six
inches in length, with corresponding
addition of circumference, and the jug
was empty. The Faculty were called
together last Monday evening by the
Dean, who promised them rare treat.
After discussing Professor Izikslum' S
new theory concerning the philosophy
of wind, the Dean brought out the new
watermelon, amid the smiles of his CO.
labOrers in the educational field. He
then delivered brief speech on what
he called caterpillary detraction,'
revealing the methods he had
used to improve the color
ed mans best friend. The
family butcher-knife was plunged to the
hilt in the neck of the green beauty, and
its interior was soon displayed to the
glittering row of white angels that guard
ed the portals to each African throat
The fragrant slices were passed around,
and the room at once resounded with
the hearty smacking of sable jaws com
mingled with little cooings of satisfac-
ton, such as babies sometimes make
when they get what they have been long
CRYING for. In less than twenty minutes
most of the Faculty were under the table,
living rs quietly as some men do when
the wine has been too heady. DR.. Pc
te1itvl was trying to stand on his head
in the center of the table, and the Dean
and the Emeritus Professor of Bentel
bowism were engaged in yelling at the
top of their lungs. At the end of hall
an hour, when the janitor mustered W
courage enough to open the door and
look in, he found the entire Faculty
slumbering sweetly.
The next day, when their headache:
had worn off, the Faculty assembled il
the chapel and adopted the following
resolutions, offered by Professor Steev'
wilyums, Phi. D.:

A MYSTERIOUS and Murderous Assault.

A dispatch Sept. 25) to the New
York World saws: Chester GOodale was
murderously assaulted to-day by some
unknown person. Mr.. GoOdale is SS
wears old and one of the wealthiest men
in berkshire County, Mass. He has
served several times as representative Of
his town and was a man of vigorous
health and strong constitution. Before
breakfast this morning he went to his
barn, a short distance from the house,
to feed his horse, and nothing more was
seen of him until his grandson went to
call him to breakfast, about O'Clock.
On opening the stable-door Mr.. Goodale
was found on the floor covered with
blood from head to foot and near by was
a heavy, blood-stained stick, with which
he had been assaulted. Mr.. Goodale
was not dead, but attempts to restore
him to consciousness were unsuccessful,
although at times he would mutter in
coherently as if he was still
struggling with his assailant. At
such times he would cry, "Oh, don t
strike me again. LII give you all my
money, only let me live" And then
again, .sOh, my head, my poor head!'
When asked by whom ne had been as
saulted he paid no attention to the query
and finally sank into deep stupor from
which it was impossible to arouse him.
The attending physician does not think
he can live the night out. The back OF
his head is badly cut, bad confusion
appears over the left eye, and the nose
is broken. The last two fingers of the
left hand are broken, and the right hand
is badly bruised and discolored. That

Vegetable Beefsteak.

FStulind hepGticn is a fieshy, juicy
fungus, which resembles beefsteak a lit
tie in appearance, and so much more in
its uses, that the name " beefsteak fun
gus = or vegetable beefsteak" has
been given to it. The under surface
(hyneniunl) is at first covered with
minute warts, which ultimately form
tubes. 1t is semicircular and of very
regular outline, with a lateral stem /;
but there are examples found without
any stem. When old and beginning to
decay il looks like a mass of liver. FiS-
tstliRd hepdticd sometimes attainS a great
size. DR.. Budham describes a specimen
nearly five feet round and weighed eight
pounds. Mr.. Berkeley mentions one
which grew on an ash pollard and weigh
inc nearly 80 pounds. FiStulind hepa-
tica is common in Europe on old oak,
walnut. chestnut and sometimes on ash
and beech trees; in this country it is
principally found in the South. This
fungus is much esteemed in some parts
of Europe as an esculent: it is whole
some and nutritious and the abundance
in which it often may be procured makes
it the more worthy of regard; while
there is almost no possibility of con-
founding it with any dangerous fungus.
In Vienna it is sliced and eaten with
salad, like beet-root, which it then re-
sembles. 1t tastes something like the
common mushroom, but is rather more
acid When grilled it is scarcely TO be
distinguished from broiled meat. 1t
furnishes itself with abundance of gravy.
On the Continent it is everywhere in
cluded among the best Of edible species.

Englishmen and Frenchmen-The Diff
ference Between Them.

A French journalist, NJ. Millaud, has
taken a trip to England and enjoyed
himself so well that he advises all the
readers of lie Figaro to go and do like
wise. In his opinion Albion forms the
most absolute antithesis with France.
The Frenchman is ward. He is every
where protected. He is forbidden to 90
where he might break his neck, as if he
was an idiot. He is not allowed the in
telligence necessary for avoiding acct
dents, bad characters and intriguers. In
all public places, in railway stations, for
instance, the French are penned up like
sheep in a fold; they are made to
maneuver between barriers, shown their
way, and their steps are measured. On
making the first stride in England one
feels himself free He is warned 10y
placards of the dangers to which he is
exposed. 1t is supposed that he will
not be so silly as to get in front of 10
connective or to offer his watch to the
pickpockets of the United Kingdom.
The three-card trick succeeds nowhere
but on the Southeastern line, which is
the only one on which Frenchmen
travel. The sharpers know that none
but French can be taken in by it. In n
word, here is the most complete indie
pendence for ones movements, and for
ones self 1t has its drawbacks at first,
but its advantages are the more numer-
Gus. The Englishman is astonished at
nothing; he knows every thing, never
makes mistake, questions no one,
avoids the vehicles, which 90 along as
they please, and he never has to consult
a policeman This is, indeed, the cOun-
try where every one is his own police
man, and where the police are honored
because they never take any notice of
any body. Even the animals are pene-
trated with the same grand feeling of
independence and personality. Sheep,
which, in France, would scatter in all
directions at the approach of train,
here stand quietly at the gates watching
the engine pass, and appear proud of
that proof of the national industry. They
could not look more pleased if they were
shareholders in the company. The
traveller himself can not lose his time
unless he absolutely wishes to do so. He
steps out of the train into a cab, or else
goes up some steps and catches another
train going in different direction; or,
if he desires it, he can 60 to a hotel in
the station itself. 1t is the acme of in
dustry and comfort. NJ Millaud con-
cludes his letter by short account of
the old Thames tunnel and the present
subway, which he likens unto a prom
enade in pipe-stem, while admitting
its utility and convenience for those en-
ployed at the docks.
