The Physical Value Of Singing.

Singing is one of the healthiest
exercises in which men, women
and children can engage. The
medical Wochenschrift, of st. Pc
tersburg, has an article based upon
exhaustive researches made by
Professor Monassein during the
autumn of 1878, when he examined
two hundred and twenty-five sing
ers, ranging between the ages of
nine and fifty-three. He laid chief
weight upon the growth and abso-
Lutte circumference of the chest,
upon the comparative relation of
the latter to the tallness of the sub
ject, and upon the pneumatometfic
and spirometric condition of the
singer. 1t appears to be an ascer-
tanned fact, from DIR. Monassein's
experiments, that the relative, and
even the absolute, circumference of
chest is greater among singers
than among those who DO not sing,
and that 1t increases with the
growth and age of the singer. The
Professor even says that singing
may be placed physically as the
antithesis of drinking spirituous
liquors. The latter hinders, while
the former promotes.

terror motive, "How would you
like such a set as that ?" The young
woman promptly answered that
she would almost be willing to be
married if she could begin house,
keeping with such furniture.
"I'll buy it if you'll marry me,n
the young man said, with the air of

He Did Not Like 1t.
(San Francisco Newsletter }

(San Francisco News-Letter)
A distinguished divine, whose
church building is not far from
Union Square, was visited on Tues
day Of this week by respectable
looking man of quiet and serious
demeanor, who briefly stated his
case as follows: "I have a cousin,
sir, an amiable young gentleman,
of excellent abilities and regular
conduct, who is now studying for
the ministry. His friends have
great hopes of his future; but, un-
fortunately, sir, he squints. He
has been advised to have an opera
tion performed upon his eyes, but
Is somewhat fearful of the conse-
quences; and, understanding that
you had been successfully treated
for a remarkable obliquity of vis-
ion, L have ventured to call upo u
you for counsel with regard to m y
Cousins aifiiction." The reverend
gentleman expressed his opinion OF
the cousin and the Cousins eyes
with emphasis and warmth, and
the visitor forgot to thank him in
the hurry of leave-taking.

THE END OF A MONSTER.
oalIsto Vasqu's the Bandit, Taken Ont Of Jail
and Shot to Death.

The Honduras correspondent OF
the Panama Star and Herald
writes that at p. NJ. of the 18th
ult., the terrible Indian Calisto
Vasquez was taken from La Paz
prison and shot to death in the
plaza of the town, n court martial
having sentenced him to death un-
der an Indictment whose counts
are as follows:
l. Assaulting the Pueblo of Santa
Maria in June, 1876, at the head of
body of bandits, and assassinat-
ing Judge Silvestre Lorenzo, Luis
Cabrera, Segundo Aguilar. and Lu-
ciano Mancllla, with the horrible
additional circumstance of having
ordered the burning of the bodies
of the three last named OF his vic
tins, while one of them was yet
living.
2. Invading the town of Marcala
few days afterward, at the head
of 200 bandits; assassinating An
tonic Escoto and Irene Molina, the
latter of whom he burnt alive; the
burning of several houses, robbing
the city, and committing various
depredations.
8. Assaulting and killing Capt.
Pedro Carrillo and two members of
his escort, and robbing the bodies
of arms and other property.
4. The assault and assassination
of Col. Cludareal in the town Of
Santa Maria.
S. The obstinate insurrection
against the forces of the govern
ment, by whom he was defeated in
the mountains of Lindero.
6. The second invasion of the
town of Marcala, in March last,
with q new band Of outlaws, and
the assassination OF Don Jose Ma
ria Bonilla.
7. The recent attack on the Guar
tel at La Paz; the cruel beating of
a number of persons whom he
found on the road: the vile assassi-
nation of young m ~, Don Monico
Caceres, and other depredations
which are too numerous to men,
tion here.
Confronted with this fearful ar
ray of accusations, before an ordi-
nary council of war, the savage
could do nothing but confess their
truth, as he knew it was useless to
resist. He went further, and gave
the names of a number of persons
politicians, priests, revolutionary
generals, landed proprietors and
Others-.who aided him; some with
money, others with arms, and still
others who assisted him in his
many marvellous escapes, even
after having been imprisoned, and
when his end was considered Sc
cure.
His wife, an Indian woman of
most excellent character, who op-
posed his raids, but who still clung
to him through his career of crime,
has been pensioned by the govern
ment and her three children will
be educated at the expense of the
State,

CATTLE THIEVES ARRESTED.
Breaking Up a Dangerous Gang at San
Gabriel

A couple of fat Durham cows
were stolen from ]. M. Grifiith's
ranch, at San Gabriel, on Sunday
night. AS soon as the loss was dis
covered, the people at the ranch
set off in pursuit, but had to give
up the search when they got to the
river. Information having been
sent to the Sheriff, Deputy Sheriff
A. Cells started out on Monday to
discover the thieves, and tracked
them to Pho Sepulveda's place in
the Verdugo Canon. Being satisfied
that the robbers were there, he has
tened back to town to obtain assist
ance and repaired to the spot in
company with Sheriff Mitchell.
On searching the premises, Messrs.
Mitchell and Cells found that
THE ANIMALS HAD BEEN sLAUGH-
TERED
And their entrails buried in Sepul-
veda's yard. Pho Sepulveda and
another Mexican were arrested
and brought to town yesterday.
Last evening Deputy Cells went
back to San Gabriel OH purpose to
arrest another one of the gang
named Santos Carisosa. He found
him at u house there and told
him he was his prisoner.
CARIsosA DREW HIS PISTOL
But Cells was beforehand and hav-
ing the drop on him made him
hand over his revolver and hand
cuffed him. AT this juncture two
other Mexicans, who are also inn
plicated in the robbery attempted
to rescue Carisosa, but as Cells
threatened to shoot the first man
who advanced, they ran away, and
the Sheriff having managed to get
his prisoner into the buggy started
off to come to town. On the ROAD,
however, the prisoner in

by Cells after sharp run of
about one hundred and fifty yards.
He had the greatest difficulty in
righting his buggy and putting the
prisoner back into it, but after
very hard struggle he succeeded in
bringing him to town and getting
him safely locked up. The prison

Once on the road. Not enough
praise can be given to Mr.. Cells for
the energy he has shown in effect
ing their capture. A good many
more Mexicans are implicated and
will undoubtedly be arrested as
soon us possible. They are the
members of the gang which have
for the last two years committed
the many cattle robberies in this
district. 1t Is said that a subordl-
nate county official is connected
with this gang, and his arrest may
be looked for very soon. We have
further particulars, but have been
requested to withhold them at
present, as their publication at this
early stage might defeat the ends
of iuStica.

1t has ever been predicated by
scientists (?) that because colors
could never be reproduced by the
process of photography that it had
no objective existence, and that
it was all sensation as produced by
the refrangibility of light-that the
refracted rays striking against the
retina were communicated by the
optic nerve to the brain, and that
the rapidity with which these wave
rays struck the the retina produced
the sensation known to us as red,
blue, etc. Those, however, who de-
sire to see old ideas exploded and
new truths demonstrated should
call at No. s Also street, the

Death Of the Largest Woman in

Information has been received at
Richmond, Va, of the death of one
of the most notorious characters in
the country. This was Mrs. ID. L.
Smith, who lived near Leginier,
Westmoreland county. Her pro-
portions were extraordinarily large.
She measured thirty-four inches
across the shoulders, and weighed
within a fraction of six hundred
and ten pounds. The coffin was
necessarily of immense size, and
before it was delivered two ordiV
nary mon lay in it side by side on
their backs without crowding each
other in the least. When brought
tn the house it could not be got
through the door, and it was neces-
sary to leave it outside until the
time set for the funeral, when the
corpse was carried out to the coffin.
