tbe consciousness of the horrible reality,

beside the coffin, one hand on It's eGSe

lins Of the corpse were white; one drop
of blood hung from them. She bent
slowly towards me, opened her eyes as
when I murdered her, and kissed my

A few days after, the newspapers OF
81 recorded that one of our richest
landed proprietors had blown out his
brains. Some attributed the suicide to
Grief at his wife's death; others, who
were better informed, to an incurable
wound. Those who knew best said he
was a monomaniac, and his wound,
which could not be cured, existed only
in his imagination.-FTOmh the hungarian

A Female Tramp Killed.

At Vincennes, Ind, on the morning
of the 18th, the body of a woman attir,
ed in male dress was found lying dead
across the side-track of the Ohio and
Mississippi Railroad, about 10 feet from
the west end of the platform at the Un-
ion Depot. She was lying upon her
face, and the only external sign Of in
Jury was deep scalp wound above the
5si tsml.s iw ,Sh Z tads ms4f5 f5I have an Ptsn e2
animation by physicians revealed the
fact that she had died of conclusion Of
the brain. The theory advanced for
her death is as follows: She is supposed
to have been acting the part of a male
tramp, either from some necessity or
design, and, true to her assumed call
inc, was engaged in stealing a ride up
on the night express east, and upon
nearing the station attempted to Jump
off while the train was yet in motion,
with fatal effect Nothing is known as
to her identity, unless a much-Solled
piece of paper evidently torn from the
margin of some newspaper) with the
following indefinite, almost illeegibIe
words written upon it in fair hand may
be so regarded:
"Mv name is Anne Mehan, Louis
vile. If any thing should happen me,
the party finding this will send me ="
The remaining all-important words
could not be read, even by the aid OF a
strong magnifying glass. The only re-
naming article which may lead to the
identity of the unfortunate young wom-
an found upon her person was a much
soiled silk handkerchief, of saffron
center and light blue border, having the
initials P. J. worked upon it in one
corner in white silk. She had on a
brown pair of jeans pants, dark coat
blue shirt, CATERS and straw hat. She
is Of decided masculine appearance, be-
inc about five feet high, squarely built,
hands large and coarse, features rather
pleasant and short, curly auburn hair;
apparently about 20 years of age.

Hard water used for cooking pu

Hard water used for cooking pur-
poses coats the surface of meat or vege-
tables boiled in it with lime to such an
extent as sometimes to render them hard
to digest; this action results from the
presence of lime salts, and may be coun-
teracted by soaking the dried vegetables
over night, draining and cooking them
in fresh water; very soft water, either
rain or spring water, does not answer as
a substitute for hard water. Medium
soft water is the best for general cook
ING purposes, although vegetables boiled
in it without salt are often soft and
tasteless. Boiling water well salted
should always be used for boiling vege-
tables. Medium soft water makes the
best tea and coffee.
Sharp County record., 1879-09-04

TO make the hands soft and white,
one of the best things is to wear at night
large mittens of cloth filled with wet
bran or oatmeal, and tied closely at the
wrist. For the face, oatmeal paste is as
efficacious as any thing, though less
agreeable than the paste made OF egg,
alum, and rose-water. The alum
astringes the flesh and makes it firm,
while the egg keeps it sufficiently soft,
and the rose-water perfumes the mixture
and makes the curd softer.

Fair little children clasped her breast,
Graded there to a brief, sweet rest,
Ere turning back to the bcckOnlng mana
stretched to them from the heavenly land.
Then in the tender and wistful eyes
Gathered a shadow of silent pam,
Even as over our mountain skies
Gathers the mist that turns to ram.
Love-" she whispered, it was my SIN
Our children's feet could not enter i'll
Unto our home-sO, to that Tar away
They call me, dear, and must obey.
Love! oh, love!" she sobbed, at my knee,
" My greatest sin was in loving you;
Even their dear, dead eyes could see
All the rest of my life rang true.
All the beauty of summer hours,
Songs of birds and color of flowers,
All the fragrance of dusk wood ways,
| wove to a selfish hymn of praise
Low on my hands she bowed her head
o, the beautiful, long, fair hair,
Sweeping over my breast as she said
Words too sacred to breathe elsewhere!
Soft on my E. ehead her last kiss lay,
Sweet were the greetings she bade me say
Words whose purport may not tell

So we found her, in robes of white,
Yelled and still, like lily fair;
Her calm face turned to the setting light,
The old bride blossoms about her halr.
Soft on her closed lips the faint light fell,
Scaling up secrets they erst might tell,
shutting the sob in yet could hear:

CObblerS, Stick to Your Last.

lN~
I listen to the historian of the Eliza
bethan age, when he speaks of the trial
of Mary, the diplomacy of Elizabeth, or
the fortunes of the Spanish Armada; but
| do not want his opinion on Spenser's
versifcation, or Bacon's claim to the title
Of philosophical discoverer. He may
review Shakspeare's historical plays; they
deal with political matter; it lies within
his province to consider how that age re-
garded the past; but I am not anxious
to know whether he prefers clear" as a
tragedy to the "Agamemnon," or the
English drama to the French; whether
he is classicist or a romanticist. Let
writer's deal with what they understand.
Historical writing is infested more than
any department of serious literature with
superficial and unnecessary dogmatism
on subjects which lie outside the histo-
rian's studies

The Pardon of Dr. sharpe.

Watertown (N w Times, August 25th.
The doings of that noted rascal DR..
Sharpe, are so fresh in the minds of our
citizens that it is hardly necessary for us
to recall them. He will be remembered
as fraud of physician, heartless
swindler in affairs of love and business
and bigamist of the very worst charac-
ter. He was always in some scrape, and
WIS always promising, through the pa
pers, to be man. History shows that
he had three wives. Wife No. 2 was
married while wife No. l still lived.
This marriage, of course, was null and
void and laid the Doctor liable to the
penalty for bigamy. Now, before the
marriage with wife No. 8, his first wife
died, leaving him, as he claims, free
man, inasmuch as his second marriage
was void This point is sustained by
many of our most talented lawyers, who
readily signed the petition for his release.
These facts and the long petition were
placed before the Governor, and the par
don was soon forthcoming.
We have no desire to see an innocent
man suffer, but still in this case we don't
feel like molesting the fatted calf for this
man is a very intelligent fellow, and he
willfully married wife No. 8 when he
knew that he had a wife in this city at
the time. This new technical point has
been discovered very recently, and we
don't think the Doctor should have re-
ceived any benefit from it. The wife No.
3 has been an indefatigable worker, how
ever, in his behalf, and we suppose she is
overjoyed to learn that her fondest hopes
are to be realized. We understand that
she has been strongly opposed in the mat
ter by her parents and friends, and we
think they showed their good sense. Five
years in durance vile is not any too much
to rid this offender of his crooked ways
but it is to be hoped that the two years
experience he has enjoyed will have a
good result, and have such effect upon
the young man that he will manifest q
spirit of repentance, and endeavor by his
good department to repay the debt he
owes his faithful wife for her untirine
labor in his behalf. We do hope nothing
will ever again happen to mar the happi
ness of Dr. and Mrs. Sharpe.

Tile ENreign CrON,

According to summary issued by a
Marsailles firm the aspect of foreign crops
is represented as follows: France-The
crop will be worse than last year. Will
have at least the same want as in 1878.
Algiers-Will be obliged to import. Italy
Bad harvest. Spain-Considerable de-
fcit. Switzerland, Belgium, Germany
Very indifferent crop. Russia and Tur-
key-The crops began to look satisfactory;
now they are below the average. These
countries will, at the utmost, be able to
send half the wheat they did last year.
Hungary-Will just be able to suffice for
her own wants. England will import
eight or ten million hectolitres more than
last year.

The love-lorn young man was annoyed
by the big fellow, who used to sit off in
one corner, apparently abstracted, yet
ever too near to permit any passionate
declaration to be properly made. The
big fellow smoked his cigars, read his for
eign papers, yawned, looked at his watch,
but never left the room. He was there
when the lover came, and was there when
he went. Everything was marked Miss
Adelaide Nelson. The flowers all came
to Miss Nelson. Her pictures were
labeled Miss Nelson, and the lover had
never heard of Mrs. Lee. One day, when
he had spent enough on flowers and pres
ents to pay a winters board, he impa-
tiently said to his adored actress: "Miss
Nelson who is that stupid fellow who is
always hanging about you? Why don't
you send him ofY' "Oh, never mind
him." answered the actress, che is only
my husband" The love-lorn young man
showed the top of his opera hat out, bowed
himself as graciously as he could under
the circumstances, and shot out Of the
room.

inspiration. Even were he so inclined,
Judge Thurman could not afford to take
the course suggested. Of course there
is nothing whatever in the reports, ex-
cept an attempt to damage both Judge
Thurman and Gen. Ewing. But it will
not work. Thurman and his friends
