The Supposed Suicide at Darby
Suspicion Of Foul PLAY

CHESTER, Jan. 2.-It has been learned
that the man named Reby, who was found
hanging to tree in Darby on Sunday
last, received $3.50 one day last week.
Out of this sum he paid $50, which he
owed for boarding, and had the remain
der when he started out. There was no
money IN his pockets when found, and
this fact, together with that of com
panion being with him an hour before be
was found dead, causes suspicion of
foul play.

WHERE WOMEN NEVER GO.-Durlng
EIGHT hundred years no woman IS known
to have entered the grounds of the mon
astery of Camaldoli, Italy, except once,
when Princess of the house OF Medlcl,
who had great desire to behold the
place, disguised herself In mems clothing
and was admitted But so stricken with
remorse was she, on beholding the sacred
SPOT. that she fastened to the Pope to con-
fess her fault, and as pennance tor 1t,
was commanded to build a new cottage in
the enclosure, which she did: This mon
astery is one of the few institutions OF the
kind suffered to remain in Italy. A re-
cent visitor SAYS that what are called cells
are comfortable little dwellings. Each is
surrounded by wall, and has its garden,
twenty feet square. A little piazza, with
the trunk of tree planed and squared
for bench as its only furniture, runs
along the side of the house. Entering
the door, you find yourself IN brcked
vestibule, with an empty chamber which
a spring of water is flowing into basin
on the left, and the living rooms on the
right. These consist of a study just large
enough for one person to sit down, a DIM
ing and sleeping room, with the bed built
into the wall il the fashion of a ships
berth. A small table, two chairs, and
cupboard complete the furnishing. Food
is passd to occupant through hole III the
outer wall, all being prepared in COM
mon kitchen and brought to the hermlts
once day. They never eat meat; and
their portion of fish on all except. fast
days consists of six ounces of fresh, OF four
of salt fish,

WASTE OF LAND.-If farm of one
hundred and sixty acres is divided by
fences into fields of 10 acres each, says
the Turf, Field and Farm, there are 5
miles of fences. IF each fence row is one
rod wide, no less than 10 acres of land
are occupied by them. This is equal to
Ga per cent of the farm, and the loss of
the use of the land is exactly equal to a
charge Ga per cent on the whole value
of the farm. But nearly every fence row
in the country is made nursery for
weeds, which stock the whole farm and
make an immense amount of labor neces-
sary to keep them from smothering the
crops. Much damage always result to
the crop from these weeds, and if these
expenses are added to the first one, the
whole will easily sum up to 20 per cent
or a tax of one fifth the value of the farm.
To remedy this, have fewer fences, or
clean and SOW down the fence rows to
grass or clover, and NOW them twice
year.
A TooTHPICK AGTTATIoN.-Th tooth
pick market is agitated. Those chiefly
in use are of white wood and pointed at
both ends A patent for fourteen years
was obtained for them in 1866, and the
factory of the Boston owners at Bucksfeld
Me-, used from 5000 to 5000 cords of
wood yearly, and turned out incalculable
quantities. A box of $500 sold for 25
cents, and the profit was large. A log 6
feet long and about Is inches in diameter
was placed in a machine with bevel
1-y,;y nj t11r,
ed out the tothpicks ready for market.
About eighteen months ago another Bos-
ton firm started factory in the woods of
Ohio and used similar machinery. The
price then began tumbling, and fell to 20
cents retail, then to Is, IA and L. Of
late the original manufacturers have re
duced the figure to 10 cents, or cents at
wholesale, and report their antagonists to
be on the verge of stoppage.
According to the London correspon-
dent of The Chicago Tribune, Marian G.
Evans, better known as George Eliot, has
published her last book, and has, so far as
the public is concerned, actually with
drawn from literary life. Lewes' death
was terrible bereavement to her, one
from which she will hardly recover. He
was great stay and support to her; he
encouraged her to write; was her best
and most stimulating critic, and it is no
doubt on account Of her loss, SO severe
and irreparable, that she has determined
to lay aside her wondrous pen. She is
now SO and childless, and, thong it may
not be called so, hers is a most melancho-
ly widowhood. George Eliot's writings
have been very profitable. Her entire
earnings have been about $250,O00, and
she could make a contract any day
for a new story for which she would be
guaranteed $4,000
