STRUCK DEAD.-One of the most ter
rible instances of scoffer struck down
in the moment of bis basphemy was re-
vealed before Mr.. Carter, in the Rose

walk, recently. The deceased was an
engineer, named Thomas Hudson, aged
81, who resided ut No. "a Saunders street,
Lambeth, and had been employed Mt
Messrs. Maudslay's for twenty five years.
He returned home at 5:l5 O'Clock ON
Thursday evening, and asked his daugb-
fowl house. On proceeding into tire yard
he became excited, and, after using n
frightiul oath in preference to his death,
he ran into the parlor, vomited blood,
aud fell dead in the arms OF female who
had been nursing his daughter. Ms,
Fall stated that deceased did not say
God strike ne dead" but he used
words of similar character. The jury
found n verdict Of =" Death from excite
ment," and the Coroner's experience en-
abled him 10 narrate parallel case. A
number Of persons had ssembled in n
tavern at Putney, when man charged
another with taking from him twopence.
The man. efter being accused, said.'

THE OLD~TIME EDITOR - Well, now,
asked ii reporter of the St. Louis Globe
Democ, OF veteran, what do you
think Of the st Louis editors Of the pre-
sent day, rs compared with those of
twenty-five or thirty years ago?'
why, editing daily paper now is so
different from what it was quarter of n
century ago that it ia d difficult to draw IL
comparison. In former times the editor
wrote long leader every day-some
six or seven columns in length-and he
clipped the news from his exchanges.
Now the fashion is to write short and
pithy paragraphs and squibs, and only n
few OF the exchanges are opened; the
news from abroad comes by telegraph,
while the city news is gathered by crops
ol cheeky reporters, who pry into every
thing, mn write up items in the style of
Victor Hugo or George Lippard-all sem
sntion. froth, and far fetched fnncies
Everything goes into 'he papers now n.
days; nothing Is too sacred; nothing is so
secret that the reporters do not find it
out and spread the particulars before the
public in the form of mn interview or
something OF the sort. a man cannot
die in peace without having reporter
at his bedside listening To catch his last
utterance. once knew reporter who
slept every night in II graveyard in The
expectation tnat some corpse would come
to life, and tina. he might Interview him
and obtain the ffe-hest news from the
other world. His enterplis ise came near
costing him his life, fer he was found by
the body -snatchers and carried in bag
to a dissecting room, where he swoke

GRANDPA AND BABY.

Out on the lawn one Summers day.
loft my baby boy at play,
And smiled to hear his gleeful shout
And happy voice sing in and out
Among the arches OF the trees,
Then die away upon the breeze
While all the playful echoes stirred
With merry laugh and lisping word.
But when missed tho cheerful noise.
Nor longer hoard the prattling voice,
rose, and to the window hied
And. looking thence, this vision spied-
0 Memory ! though thy namo be pain,
Paint, paint that picture DER again
Tho western sun his glory threw
Along the sward of emerald hue;
Slave where, perchance in playful frown
Some cool, green shadows nestled down,
And idly shifting with the sun,
Crept closely eastward, one by one.
Beneath the elm trees ing crest,
Where the wind tossed the birdlings' nest
And whore alternate sun and shade
Like changing fancies skipped and played
The old armchair, secure and good,
With de-spread arms, inviting stood;
And in its cushions, broad and doep,
Grandpa and baby sat asleep.
On rounded check and golden head
The sinking sun his radiance shed,
While on tho grandsires silver crown
A single ray dropped softly down,
And then in benediction foil
On both, and wrapped them in its spell.
The breeze, in frolic, growing bold,
Tossed mp the rings of shining gold
On baby's brow, then with tho gray
On grandpa's head, began to play.
In tho worn palm, securely pressed,
One little dimpled hand found rest;
The other clasped withered flower,
Culled, all at will, in Natures bower.
Fixed was the look of sad content,
On tho worn face, n tribe bent;
And forward dropped to rest tho chin
Ny baby's clustered curls within
While on tho collar of his coat
Tho gray and gold together float.
Such tinting one might vainly sock
As slept on baby's lip and check;
But thin and palo the othor one,
And sad and careworn in the sun
And so tho evening shadows foil,
And deeper grew, but all was we'll.
The elm tree boughs, now gaunt and bare
Are tossed about tho Wintry air,
While pale, wan shadows come and so
Upon the lawn, all white with snow;
But never more, at eve or dawn,
On garden walk or grassy lawn,
May |, in vision fair, b3hold,
That little head with crown of gold,
Nor evcrmore, on Summer day,
That other one, with crown Of gray,
Aneath the dreary, drilted snow,
The silver head, and gold, lie low
Yet evermore, in joy or pain,
memory paint that scene again.

THE USES OF AMMONIA.

No housekeeper shoald be without a
bottle of spirits OF ammonia, for, beside
its medical value, it is also invaluable for
many household purposes. 1t is nearly
MS useful an article, for all cleansing uses,
as soap, and its cheapness brings it within
the means Of all.
Turn teaspoonful Of ammonia into n
quart of warm soap>suds dip in DIT
of flannel, and wipe off the CRIME and
smoke. and dust from any painted
woodwork. and see for yourselves how
much hard labor it will save you, for you
do not iced to scrub it with all your
strength, only wipe it off.
1t will also clean and brighten silver
wonderfully. Mix'a teaspoonful OF tho
ammonia with n pint of hot suds /; dip in
your silver forks and spoons, rub them
with a soft brush, ana polish with eha>
mois skin, and you will use it weekly, if
not oftener.
For washing mirrors and windows II is
very excellent. Put few drops Of tho
ammonia upon bit of newspaper, and
you can rub of any marks upon glass at
once.
1t will also take out grease spots from
all kinds of cloth. Mix few drops with
few drops of water, and rub gently on
the spot lay botting paper over the
place, and press moderately heated fat
iron upon it, and it will dsappear.--
A few drops turned upon wetted
towel and gently pressed upon the edge
of soiled collar will whten 1t.
Then it is q most refreshing agent for
of water will remove all disagreeable or
dor of the skin. II II teaspoonful is add
ed to foot bath, it will take away all un-
! pleasantness from the feet. And there Is
nothing better for cleansing the hair from
dust aud dandrutf than hnlf "A teaspoonful
VI ammonia in II teacupful of warm water.
For cleaning hair and nail brushes it is
equally good. Put tcaspooful of it into
IA pint of warm water, and dip the brush
es into the water and scrub them we'll
then shake out until nearly dry. and put
into the sunshine. Tho most soiled
brushes will come forth from such bath
white and clean.
For medicinal purposes ammonia Is
much used. In cases of severe headache
it will provoa very agreeable remedy, and
n frequent inhalation of its pungent VA
pors will often cure catarrhal cold
There is no better remedy than aromatic
spirits of ammonia for severe cough. -
Twenty drops Of it, taken in vino glass
of water, will frequently prove OF grea'
relief. 1t is also n good remedy for dys'
pepsia and heartburn. The common
spirits of ammonia can be used in the
same way, but /. is not as pslatable rs the
aromatic spirits,
In addition to all these uses, ammonia
can be applied to vegetation with most
beneficial effects. II you desire to make
your roses, fuchslas, geraniums and car
nations blossom, add half II teaspooful oi
the ammonia to every pint and half ol
warm water, aud sprinkle them with it
But do not use IL oitener than twice 4
week.
Rain water is impregnated with am
monia, and it is more refreshing and in
vigorating than spring water to .vegeta.
BILE life.
Ammonia should always be kept tight,
ly closed with n glass stopper, rs II l.
SO strong that 1t eats away cork. -
