That Frozen Woman Again.
l.. B. HOWARD.

The article that appeared in tn,
New York Herald, in regard to tn,
woman who was frozen on the roat
between Alpena and Rogers City
and copied in our Issue week before
last, has been reprinted in paper.
in all parts Of the United States
A gentleman of Chicago has writ.
ten to a citizen of Alpena in regard
TO the Herald article, and asks tc
he informed as to the truth of the
matter.
We have been unable to obtain
all the facts, but enough is known
TO show that the Herald fiction is
tinctnred with so little truth, that
was not the name of Alpena at the
head Of the article, the circumstan-
ces therein related would never have
been recognized as pertaining TO
this affair.
The truth is that the city of AL
pena has not been pestered with
houses Of ill-fame within its limits.
and the two that have been located
outside of the city, but in the
county, have been the resorts of
people of the class to which Eva
Leroy, alias Agnes Philips, alias
Agnes Monroe belonged, were
threatened with legal process, and
the proprietors and inmates of Zone
of them were arrested about the
middle Of December, and the news
spreading, came to the ears of this
woman who has secured the advo-
cacy of the Herald. She ut once
took passage upon the Rogers City
stage, fearing that she would be
the next one who would have to
answer for her criminal life, before
a court of justice. She arrived at
Rogers City Dec. 18th, aud failing
to obtain employment pleasing to
her taste, she started on the oath
Of December to return to the dis
reputable house from which she
She was intoxicated when
she left Rogers City. and had with
her the wherewithall that complete
y Supplied her. When she was
'ound the next morning, she was
ibout three miles from Rogers City,
md about forty miles from Alpena.
Her feet were badly frozen, but
The was kindly cared for, and had
medical attendance.
Amputation was decided to he
Unnecessary, and on New Years day
he died, having been so long ex-
POSED to the cold, and her system
icing depleted by disease and a
ife Of ruthless dissipation.
The Hearld and few other pa
'ers that deal ia subjects of this
ind, have feasted upon the rich
Mound of Inauguration. We hope
bat the facts may come to the eyes
{ those honest exchanges who
ave been mislead, and they will
orrect an impression of i'll will
owards our citizens.

Will Blood Tell?

DR.. Icitzman, Of New York,
makes the announcement that Il
drop Of mans blood placed un-
der the microscope will tell just
what the condition and consti-
tuition may be. After a pro-
tracted study Of blood corpus
Giles he has come to the conclu-
sion that an abundance of large
granules go with a good consti-
tuition; on the other hand, if The
granules were few. and fine, or
the entire body Of the corpus
Gle pale, it was evidence Of IL
pour constitution. lie frequent
ly noticed that the number of
white blood corpusclcs was con-
>iderabIy increased after a sim
gle slecplcss night, so much so
that it might be determined
whether IA man had been kept
from his rest or not by exami-
nation of his blood. 1t could
also be determined whether a
man was to have acute diseases,
or whether he was TO suffer
"lrom the slow processes Of dis
eases incident to Il strumous di-
atheists" The Scientific Amer
lean says committee Of physi-
clans has been appointed to m
vestigatc and report on this
most promising subject. If ii
proves possible to determine a
mans physical constitution by
the examination of a drop of
his blood, a new field Of invcsti-
cation will be opened, and one
having very important practical
beal ings."

The Indiana Farmer says
there is a crude notion prevail
ing that hardships make young
stock hardy. n colt that is
wcancd in the fall, as is COM
monty the case, should not be
allowed to become poor in the
winter. 1t is tue that it will
o1im improve SO rapidly in The
spring, that its wretched conGi-
ton in the winter will seem re-
ally TO have been an advantage
to it, but it is grave mistake.
If the same condition were inn
posed during the whole period
of growth, the effect would be
very perccptible. Although
the summer may in some degree
remove the effect Of winter, no.
animal so treated ever becomes
what it might have been in size,
symmetry Of form and useful
ness, by generous treatment.
There is profit in breeding nice
carriage and draft horses. As Il
general rule. it costs no more to
raise a good colt than a poor
one, while the former will bring
two or three times rs much as
the latter. \ dark stable is a
poor place to keep colt.

Wild Cattle and Music.

We have heard it said that
caravan-drivers arc in the habit
of singing to cheer their over
wearied and grooming camcls.
A similar custom, with like eff
fects. is reported of the herders
or sscow-boys," of Texas. A
recent traveller in that state
says:
The cowboys, while tending
amounted on their wiry mustang
ponies) their Texan cattle, which
are almost as wild as bnifaloes,
and as dangerous to man on
foot, arc accustomed to sing a
great deal to while away the
lonely hours.
At night they hobble their
ponies, and, wrapped in a blank
ct, lie down to sleep on the prai-
rie, little way from the cattle.
Sometimes in the night a thun-
clap or some strsnge sound will
start up the cattle with wild
alright, and they will snort and
paw the earth, and ina moment
wild rush and stampede would
commence; but the cowboys
would spring up, and while they
loose and mount their ponie:
they commence singing thei1
old songs.
The cattle, hearing the we'll
known and accustomed voices
will soon quiet down, thinking
al! is right, and resume theiI
rest again.

Cuttings of gcraniums and

will allow the cut end 10 partly
