THE NEW YORK HORROR.


Ihe Murder OF Mrs. Hull Laid OIL the
Inmates of the Househ0Id-A Dark
Suspicion Rests ON Her Husband.
NEw YoRK, June ia police officer
high in authority, in speaking with re.
porter of the Erening POa this morning OF
the murder of Mrs. Hull, admitted that
he was convinced the murder was COIN
mitted by person in the house, and said
the removal OF the jewels was II device too
shallow to deceive any one. lie also in.
timatcd it was likely an arrest would be
made very soon, possibly to-day. Super
intendent Walling is said TO be convinced
that the missing jewels are still in the
house, but il the jewels are not found in
the house or drains the police theory Of
the murder will not be altered, rs they
say it is impossible to say how far the
jewels might be carried along the sewers
BY the matter passing through them. DR..
Hull is under surveillance.
The idea that the murder was commit.
ted by professional burglars is generally
discredited by all persons familiar with
criminal matters. The police are conf
dent OF winding up the case before the
middle Of this week. Three thousand
postal cards, giving description Of the
missing jewelrv, will be sent TO all parts
OF the country. The police will get full
statements from every member OF the
household as to their knowledge Of the ex-
isting feeling between themselves and
Mrs. Hall and others in che house, as well
as Of the events Immediately preceding
and following the murder
Captain Williams on entering the house
to-day met Dr. Hall in the hallway and
handed dispatch to him. Dr.. Hall read
the dispatch and then handed it back to
the Captain, who read it and questioned
the Doctor about it. The contents Of the
dispatch could not be learned. The Off.
GERS have been instructed to take charge
Of all letters and dispatches to any of the
inmates Of the house.

The Shipments of Strawberries from
DRrncHyIIIe.


GAINESVILLE.
Enterprise Of Yesterday.
Our strawberry men have been busy
during the past week in sending their
crops to market. The largest shipment
was made Monday evening, when a car
load was sent to Columbus. The market
in that city is demoralized, prices ranging
from s. to s. per bushel, from which must
be deducted commission and freight, leav-
ing small margin, indeed. The best Jo-
cundas only bring s. gross, while they re.
tail in Barnesville at 20 cents quart. Ii
is curious fact that right here in the
midst OF the berries prices are higher than
at Columbus, Shipments are made daily
to many Of the principal towns OF Ohio,
and also 10 West Virginia and Pennsylva-
mia. One dealer has sought a new market
at Chicago,
The berries so fur are OF excellent
quality, but were suffering for want OF
rain until Tuesday, when they were reviv.
ed by u nice shower, and the crop will
now be fully up to the average OF former
years, The principal growers and ship
pers this year are W. & ]. Barlow, John
ScGles, J. Steer, Jehu Hays, J. 4 W. D.
EdgGtOn, VIM. Bryant, Sway Barnes, G.
S. Shipley, Thomas Wilson, Amasa Frame
and Stewart Morrow. Although the
prices are low, the strawberry business is
generally II paying one for those who
engage in the culture OF the King OF the
Berries. This is shown by the fact that the
business is increasing from year to year.

A Silver Anniyersary.

Yesterday afternoon, the l6th inst, the Mason & Hamin Organ Company celebrated by dinner at Young's Hotel thetwenty fifth anniversary of the com mencement of their business, which by its own merits has grown to large pro- portions. At the start the capacity of their works was two or three melodeons per week, the best of which sold for about one hundred dollars each; their present capacity is over two hundred cabinet organs per week, and they are most of the time behind orders, while their best productions now command five hundred dollars each, and in excep- tional cases several times this amount. In numbering their instruments they have reached lo4 ,OOO, having actually made and sold nearly that number. Organs of their make have obtained an extraordinary reputation all over the world, and are sold in every civilized country where the tariff is not so high as to be prohibitory. Musicians recognize in them distinguished excellence in quality of tone, the result, in large meas ure, perhaps, of peculiar skill in uoiciag reeds, an art which originated with this company. But in every respect it has always been principle with them to make in each detail the best instrument possible and to sell them as low as pos. sible. The skillful carrying out of this policy has resulted in this great success Boston Journal

The UnluckY KOh.i.nOOr.

From time immemorial there have been all kinds of strange superstitions about precious stones, most of which have attached themselves to the dia- mond. Everybody knows that the Koh- i-noor is the bright particular gem among the crown jewels of England, but it is not so well known that the " noun tain of light.n as it has been called, is, according to Hindo superstition, most unlucky, and bound to bring certain ruin upon those into whose hands it comes. Most certainly this diamond has had an especially notable history. It was found in the mines of Golconda. how many years ago no one can tell The first authentic information we have of it is that it was in the possession of the Great Mogul in 1640. After this the stone changed hands frequently, and we finally hear of it in the possession of Runjeet Singh, famous chief of Lahore. After his death it passed into the hands ofhis successors on the throne, and when the Punjaub was conquered by the English in 1850, the Koh-i-noor was in- cluded among the spells. In all these years it certainly has brought anything but fortune to the greater number of its owners. The Mogul dynasty degener- ated from the day this gem passed into the possession of Aurungzebe. It l brought with it the same ill-fate to the race of Runjeet Singh. In 1850 the dia- mond was carried to England, in the l Na1ao Inv Caloool M,oI-ocon o,l C,o+o;,, ', Ramsay, as a present from the East India Company to Queen Victoria. Soon after
 began to show it's power for evil. In 1850 the Sepoy revolt broke out; that same year England had some bitter ex. perience with Kafirs. EEhe first Burmese war was in 1852, and the Crimean wal | broke out in 1854. England had wal with Persia in 1857, with the Chinese ir 1861, with New Zealand in 1861 and agair in 1963-66; with the Abyssinians in 1867 with the Ashantees in 1873, with the Afghans in 1878 and with the Zulus il 1879. AS if this was not enough, the natives of India say there are more evil. connected with the Koh-i-noor in store for Englishmen. The queen sent it tc Amsterdam to have it recut, work which occupied thirty-six days of twelve hours each. It now weighs lO2 karats The Star of the South weighs I25; the Regent, or Pitt diamond, 137: the great Austrian diamond, 139; the Orloff, ol great Russian diamond, l93; while the largest diamond in the world, as to tht genuineness of which there is no shadow of doubt, is that of the Rajah of Mattan which weighs 367 karats in the uncut state, and for which many years ago tht Rajah was offered a couple of war brigs fully equipped, and half million O i dollars.

A Practical Education.

The root of the evil with idlers of every grade and style, says an exchange, is that their early training was neglected. They were left to themselves. Few young people who are thus left will make any decided progress or do any thing to the advantage of anybody. They grow up like weeds, and struggle in every direction, and there are many young men who go through the forms of training and culture who reach man. hood in a state in which they are of lit tie use either to themselves or to any body else. They may even be sent to college, and may acquire great skill in the rowing of boats. It sometimes hap pens that they fall into the hands of inn practicable professors, who are them selves crammed full of various sorts of learning, but know not how to impart it. These professors frequently fit the boys for a life which is purely pedantic and for which the commercial world has no wish to pay. The great demand of the present day is for practical work. It is a reasonable demand, too. The world cares but little that the boy has passed through college, unless in his passage he has fitted himself for some branch of what is to be done. The world has no money with which to pay any man for being queer old hermit or an impracticable pedant. Nowadays if a man wants living he must work for it, and be willing to turn his hand to anything. He need not know every thing. If he have the thorough mas tery of any one department it is his capital. Making diligent use of this, he can acquire more. People who have boys to train cannot be too mindful of this. It depends on what we are now giving the boy whether he shall grow up successful business man or de- spised and dishonored idler.

An Ancient Nation.

At tlle departure of the children of Israel from Egypt, China was seven hundred years old; and when Isaiah prophesied of her she had existed fifteen centuries. She has seen the rise and de- cline of all the great nations of antiquity Assyria. Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome have long since followed each other to the dust; but China still re- mains, a solitary and wonderful monu- ment of patriarchal times. Then look at the population of the country, roughly estimated at four hundred miilions-ten times the population of the United States, more than thirteen times the population of Great Britain and Ireland. Every third person that lives and breathes upon this earth and beneath these heavens is n Chinese; every third grave that is dug is for a Chinese. Rec SylUester Wlsite7tead

Catching Pablo.

There's no disputing about tastes. Probably when the oyster and lobster were first seen. they were as little dream ed of as food as were sea-cucumber :" and cuttle-fish, both of which, at last, are now table delicacies to some tribes of men. Diet quite as strange-a sort of live macaroni, or rather Uernlicelli-is described here. The account is from Simonds' " Commercial Products ot the Sea-
 Perhaps the most curious fishery of all to our apprehension would be that of the pablo, which is carried on among the Fiji Islands and in some other parts of the South Pacific Ocean The pablo are small worms, three of four inches long, and the bigness of a fine straw.
 They appear every year for two days in October and November, at the last quarter of the moon, and are never seen at any other time, rising to the sur face at early dawn, and sinking again in a fe v hours, as the sun becomes power full.
 They swim with snake-like motion, twisting about the fingers of the natives, who plunge their hands into the water to know the exact moment of the worms arrival.
 l They appear in such numbers as to | cover the sea, and white object held a l few inches beneath the surface cannot be distinguished. The natives are thrown l into great excitement during the short time they remain in sight, catching them in nets and in prettily-made baskets. l As soon as the pablo have gone, the fishermen return to shore, where they feast upon the dainty morsels raw, or
 bake them in leaves of the bread-fruit tree, and send them as gifts to friends in less favored neighborhoods.

Dig out four or five inches of soil, leav- ing the bottom smooth and hard. Turn out the pits on this bottom, so the soil may come in contact with every pit, and cover with about three inches of earth, so the whole is level. In the spring, at planting time. the most of them will be sprouted, and large number will have lost their shells. Pick out and plant i'm mediately in well-prepared ground. Do not crack the pits; however carefully it may be done, it is apt to impair the ker- mel. The plan we have given is that practiced by the most successful nursery men .-Prairie Turner.
