A Happy Family,

A policeman found a family Of fve
persons and two old trunks undera shed
neal the foot of Second street, waiting
to go up the river ON a woodbridge
which wouldn't leave until the next fore
noon. The man had both hands pressed
to his face, the woman was wiping her
eyes on a handkerchief and all the
children were squalling.
What seems to be the matter?" in
quired the officer as he halted among
them.
"Oh, nothing much" answered the
man. @I've got the jumpin' tooth-ache,

for her back agin the wood pile she'll
go to sleep and forget all about it. She's

"But the children are crying" con-

"Yaas, kinder crying" replied the
man, "but that's nothing. That boy,

rhe confe..ion OF a Crime.

A correspondent at Logansport, Ind,
says that the chain of evidence against
Jack MeMillen and Andy Monyihan,
charged with the murder of John Ray
mond, has been clinched by their own
statement. McMillen expressing a de-
sire to make a statement, he was per-
mitted to do so, and this statement, re-
dueed to writing in the presence of the
sheriff and two deputies, is to the effect
that McMillen and Monyihan committed
the assault on Raymond on the even
ing of September "a. The plot was con-
cocted on the afternoon of that day by
the two. They knew that Raymond had
money. They ascertained, that he was
at Patty's house in the evening and laid
in wait for him close by. AS Raymond
came out he was soon met by the two
and Andy asked to be directed to the
Patty ranch. As Raymond was about
to direct them Audy struck him with a
stone in the forehead. telling him to the
ground. The blow was quickly followed
by others, which reduced Raymond to a
state of utter helplessness. He could
only beg for his life. The ma was then
rifed of his valuables, and left lying
where he fell, whence he soon after
dragged himself until he found assist

Muraer. Ar.on and suietde.

During the night, a few days ago, the
residence of Frank Duplein, a French
man living eight miles north Of Fl.
Wayne, Indiana, was discovered in
flames. The neighbors assembled to ex-
tinguish the fire, and upon investigation
found Mrs. Francis Duplein, wife Of the
owner, lying dead IN the barn with her
throat cut from ear to ear. Duplein
was hanging from a rafter in the barn,
also dead. He had doubtless murdered
his wife, then set fire to his house, and
finally committed suicide. He was
forty-fve years old, and his wife five
years younger. Both we're French.
They had one child, aged twenty, who
was not at home when the tragedy oc-
Cured. Duplein and his wife had
lived on bad terms for some time, but
nothing is known as to what transpired
between them prior to the tragedy.
Duplein has a brother serving a two
years term in the ~penitentisry for at
tempted murder Of his wife last April.

A Remarkable Crime--It. Penalty.

A trial for one OF the most remarkable
crimes ON record has just closed at Ash
vile, North Carolina. The accused
VIM. Lydia, was arrested several months
since, charged jointly with another man
with the castration of Charles Morris, a
young man of twenty4one. of respectable
connection. Morris and the accused had
been paying attention to the same lady;
but a few months prior TO the
occurrence for which the accused
was tried, his: rival got the better
of him in the affections of the young
lady, and they became engaged to be
married. Upon being informed of this
state of things, Lydia became terribly
enraged. A few weeks later, it is
alleged, he met Morris in the woods,
aud, with the assistance of a companion,
threw him down by tree to the trunk of
which they bound him. Lidia took his
knife and coolly proceeded to unsex
him, which, it is charged, he did.
Whether this was done to prevent
Morris marriage with the young lady,
Of their joint affections, is not, Of course,
known. Lydia was convicted and SEN
fenced to sixty years in the State
Prison,

A Cincinnati Tragedy.

A terrible tragedy occurred at the
Burnet House, Cincinnati, a few days
ago. A Miss Florence Mcdonald, of
Syracuse. N. Y, attempted to kill SyI-
vester NJ. Hickey, and then shot herself.
Hickey is manager of the Mary Ander-
son Company, and Miss Mcdonald, it
appears, wal a young lady whom he had
formerly paid much attention to, but
who he had recently been endeavoring
to jilt. A diary, which she left,
contains memorandum of his Click
ey's) intense admiration for Miss
Anderson, the tragedienne, and her de-
termination TO kill him. The following
are extracts from her diary:

ing, with two windows opening on to
Vine street. She was seated on a small
sofa placed beside the north wall, and

her side. The interview, if all the truth
was divulged by the wounded man, was
short and not embarrassed by explana-
tions. "What do you want" he asked
Money" was the answer. He at once
arose and placed his handinto hispocket
for his purse. She arose with him and
stepped behind the end Of the sofa; this
being a short one, she was back of but
very near her intended victim. While
in this attitude, and unnoticed by
Hickey, she drew a pistol from her
pocket, and pointing it with deadly aim
at Hickey's head, fired. 1t was only
Hickey's superior height and possibly a
forward inclination of his head, that
saved his life. The bullet sped true to
an aim that meant death, and entered
an inch behind and on the line of the
top of the ear. 1t penetrated the scalp,

the dry-house at the time of the explo-
sion worked a man who had worked for
the firm but a short time. No trace
of his remains has been found.
The theory has been advanced that it
was caused by friction of the machinery
in the grinding department, which was
likely the case. The mills turned out
about 225 kegs of powder daily, and it
is more than probable that there we're
close to 200 kegs on hand at the time
of the explosion. Nothing but a large
black SPOT remains to mark the spot
where the buildings mentioned stood.

A Cotton Gin.

Very few persons at the North have
ever seen a cotton gin, and those who
have not, of course, have very vague
ideas about its construction or its work.
A cotton-gin machine is not as bulky as
an ordinary tanning mill. It is called
a ~saw gin," because circular saws,
about a foot across, are set upon a
wooden cylinder, perhaps half or three
fourths of an inch apart. For largest
sized gins, the cylinder is five feet long.
The saws run between steel CRATES set
in the back of the feeding-hopper, so
that the teeth reach just beyond the
bars and catch the fbers, which adhere
strongly to the seed, and pull them
through the openings between the
grate-bars, leaving the seed behind.
The lint is cleared from the teeth by
revolving brushes, and is either blown
by q fan through a spout to the lint
room, or else, by an improved process,
is famed into large watts, which can be
taken up and put one after another into
a pile to form the bale. A large gin,
run by about six-mule power, $50 revo-
buttons a minute, will gin $50 pounds of
lint in an hour. Sometimes careless
ness or design sends a friction match
through the gin. Then there is a flash,
and an end of that years work.-ET-

IHorrible Death From Arsenic.

MI. George Arthur Gardiner, nephew
by marriage. of Prescott, the historian,
died in Brooklyn, on the 9th ult., In
great agony, after two weeks of indie
scribable suffering. 1t is said by his at
tending physician that his death was
caused by arsenical poison placed by a
dentist in one of his teeth for the pur-
pose of killing an aching nerve. In an
interview upon the remarkable and
horrible death of this man, MI. A. C.
Lewis, who was his bosom friend, makes
the following statement: "No man
eyer died such a horrible death as
Gardiner died. When he was dead
every connection between his head and
body, except the spine, had been eaten
through and completely severed by the
action OF the poison. Every time a
blood vessel was thus severed there
would be a new hemorrhage. A few
days before he died one of these hem
orrhages occurred, and the blood
spouted up into the attendants face.
The sloughipg of the decayed parts was
go great, that four incisions had to be
made into his neck to keep his throat
clear. Through these incisions we had
continually to draw out the sloughed
parts, and they came in long strips like
soft gum, and had to be broken off. ]

would have killed himself rather than

sulting physicians, DIR. Richardson, CT

ult., and DR.. Helmuth, of New York, on
the 18th. Both agreed with DIR. Guy
as to the cause of the disease. DR.. Hell.
muth said the case was absolutely hope
less, and had been from the start. He
pronounced it the most marked case OF
arsenical poisoning of he kind that had
ever come under his notice, and said
that there could not be any doubt that
the poison had feen placed in q tooth
to kill a nerve, and that medical liter
ature did not contain another case Of the
kind quite as clear in every respect. In
treating such cases, one of the last re
sorts of the physician is to attempt te
Offset the arsenic by administering
lachesis, the active poison of the rattle
snake. While that treatment was being
used on Gardiner, I took two different
pieces of the sloughed parts to chem.
lists, and had them analysed. Each
analysis showed that even then the ar
senic was the predominating poison. ]
