A Horrid Holocaust.

Dispatches q few days since an
nounced the burning of Chinese laun-
dry in San Francisco, in which num-
Der of Cinnamon persisted. From the
Post of that city we subjoin the follow
ing details
When at last the flames were out,
although no certainty existed as to
there having been any loss of life, an
examination was made. In the place
where the front room was the trunks of
five Cinnamon We're found, charred to a
crisp, with hair and flesh burned off
mere roasted skeletons. In the washing
room three more CHASTITY relics of what
but short time before were human be-
ings, were found in the same condition,
while in the drying room two more were
pulled from out the smouldering embers
The coroner was notified and the vic
TINS of the holocaust, whose trunks, dis
torted, twisted, and in some cases, bent
nearly double, as if death had been met
in intense agony were taken to the
Morgue and there stretched out upon
the floor, q canvas hiding the fearful
work of the demon fire. Nothing is
known as to the origin of the fire. All
that can be said is that the Cinnamon
were known to have been at work I'M
til an early hour this morning, when
they ceased. 1t is understood that the
unfortunate wretches were, like all of
the race, addicted to opium, and it is
believed that when the fire caught they
were nearly all too stupefed to move.
The fire spreading to the linen in the
room, rendered their Inconsistencies
the more complete. All of the windows
Of the house had heavy shutters, and,
with the doors, were heavily barred.
The few who escaped from the house in
their fright lost their senses and became
at once perfectly helpless and panic
stricken, and consequently made no at
tempt to alarm or rescue their country
men, who, perhaps, even then were
cropping through the clouds of smoke
AMI pillows of fame, seeking to escape
from the fiery furnace in which they
were fast being roasted alive

a Scoundrel's Two Victims.

The village of Ontario, n. Y, is
greatly excited over the marriage in that
place of the daughter, II years old, Of a
well-to-do citizen living near there, to
disreputable young man, while the latter
was in Jail awaiting u hearing on a
charge of assault on an uncle of the girl,
with intent to kill. About year ago,
William Enlight, blacksmith, "a years
old, obtained employment in Ontario.
His reputation was bad. John Negus,
a respectable citizen Of Ontario, had a
daughter Is years old Last September
this girl eloped with Enrisht. The
pair were missing for several days and
when they returned to be married Mr.
Negus took his daughter home, and she
and Enright continued to live together
as man and wife until few weeks ago,
when the discovery was made that they
had not been married Negus drove
Enright away from his house.
Negus had q niece, who was only II
years of age. She lived at a place
known as Lake View, with her parents.
Enright became acquainted with her
during visit she made at her uncle's,
while her cousin was living with the
blacksmith and his wife. When the
criminal relations of Enrght and his
victim were exposed, he at once began
paying attention to tle cousin, whose
name was Rood About two weeks ago
she astounded her parents with the an
nouncement that she was engaged to be
married to Enright. They at once sent
her to her uncle, John Nesus, believing
that she would be less likely to meet
Enright there than she would be at
home. A week ago Enright heard that
the girl was being kept at her uncle's.
He proceeded to the house, entered it,
and, drawing revolver, swore he
would kill any one who interfered with
his taking Miss Rood away, IIe found
the girl, and size went with him away
from her guardians house. Mr.. Negus
had Enright Immediately arrested,
charge of assaulting him with intent to
murder being preferred. Enright was
lodged in Jail, and while awaiting
hearing was married to the girl in his
cell, the ceremony being reformed by
justice of the peace. At the hearing
that followed on the charge on which
Enright was arrested, the prisoner was
discharged by Esquire johnson, he de
Gliding that the charge was not sustained
by the evidence The Indignation
against Enright was so great that it is
alleged that but for his timely escape
from the place with his victim he would
have met with summary punishment at
the hands of the people.

/" Send for Mother"

Dear me 1t wasn't enough for me
to nurse and raise family of my own,
but now, when I'm old, and expect to
have little comfort, here it is all the
time, "Send for mother" And the
dear old soul growls and grumbles, but
dresses herself as fast as she can notwith-
standing. After you lave trotted her
off, and got her safely in your home, and
she flies around, administering remedies
and rebukes by turns, YOU feel easier.
It's all right now, or soon will be
mothers come
In sickness, no matter who is there
or how many doctors quarrel over your
case, everything goes wrong, somehow,
till you send for mother
In trouble, the first thing you think
Of is to send fer mother.
But this has its ludicrous as we'll as
it's touching aspect The verdant Young
couple, to whom baby's extraordinary
grimaces and alarming yawns, which
threaten the dislocation of it's chin its
wonderful sleeps, which it accomplishes
with its eyes half open, and no percep-
tible futter on its lips, causing the
young mother to imagine it is deal this
time and to shrek, "Send for mother p
in tones of anguish-this young couple
in the light OF experience which three
or four babies bring, find that they have
been ridiculous and given mother good
many trots tor nothing.
Did any one ever send for mother
and she failed to Gomez Never, unless
sickness and the infrmities of age pre-
vented her. AS when, in your child
hood, those willing feet responded to
your call, so they still do, and will con-
tinue to do as long as they are able.
And when the summons comes, which
none disregard, though it will be hap
py day for her, it will be very dark
and sad one for you, when God, too, will

Lincoln's Cane.

Many years ago when President Lin
coin was a poor lawyer in Springfield,
Illinois, he carried about with him a
plain ebony cane, with silver ferrule,
marked ga. Lincoln" The cane may
have cost So.
When Lincoln found himself in
Washington, he still carried the old
ebony, being loath to part with his old
friend One day delegation of friends
waited upon and presented him with an
elegant modern cane, with an deliberately
engraved gold handle He accepted the
gift moro to accommodate his friends
than to please himself. The old cane
wasPgiven to trusty valet who often
frequented prominent restaurant in
Washington, where nightly assembled
many professional men, actors, lawyers
and musicians. Among the number
was A. r. Phelps, the first manager of
the Grand Central Theatre. Hard
pushed for money, the valet pawned the
cane with the proprietor of the restau-
rant, and from the latter it passed into
the hands of Phelps. In his vocation
as theatrical manager and actor,
Phelps struck Troy some three or four
years ago, and assumed the manage
ment of the Grand Central Theatre for
Thomas Miller, the proprietor. Finally
adversely overlook him. Misfortune
fell heavily upon him, and he with his
wife and six children left in the drest
distress, and he pawned the cane to "a
down town citizen for S25. He then
left town and has not since been seen
here.
Robert 7. Lincoln, son of the dead
president, learning that the cane was in
this city, correspondent with Chief Mark
ham with a view of obtaining possession
os it. Yesterday morning Markham re
ceived track of its whereabouts and
served a search warrant upon the pro
prietor of a meat market at the corner
of Federal and North Fourth streets.
There the cane was recovered. In the
police court yesterday afternoon, before
Justice Donohue, the matter of the dis
position of the cane WAS taken up, and
postponed for two weeks. 1t is sup
posed Phelps gave the cane as security
for the meat consumed by his family

Parbciling Themselves.

One of the most sickening affairs If,
indeed, it is not the most horrible, which
it ever has been our duty to chronicle,
happened last Saturday ON the premises
of Mr.. Scion Kelley, about eight miles
from Huntsville There was a hog
killing in progress, and two colored men,
Robert and Dennis Patrick, brothers,
got into a dispute about each others
share in the years crop. A long kettle
filled with water was near by. The
water in the kettle had been heated to
such a high degree that they were wait
ing for it to cool little in order to scald
hogs in it. The water was so no. that
they were afraid it would "set' the hair
of the hogs. This was the high temper
allure of the water when the brothers
began to quarrel Dennis, who was the
oldests told Robert that he would put
him in the kettle if he didn't shut up,
and Robert, the preacher brother, told
Dennis that if he put him (RoberD in
the water he (Dennis) would have to 60
with him. Dennis caught Robert and
pressed him backward in the direction
of the kettle. He pressed him, both of
them having their arms locked mean
while, until they both went headlong
into the seething water Their piteous
and awful screams and means soon at
tracted others to the place, who finally
extricated them from the boiling cal
dron.
They retained their senses when first
taken out, and their intense agonies
were simply beyond description. They
at once complained of their hot clothes,
and when these were taken from their
limbs great flakes of boiled flesh went
with them, leaving their bones exposed
Their boards fell out and their hair
dropped from their heads. They bad
literally been cooked alive The sight
was such that those who witnessed it
were wel-nigh paralyzed with horror
All possible measures of relief were
tried during the night, but Robert died
the next day, and Dennis died on NJ IN

A Problem.

How unmarried women who require
to earn their living are to do so by the
exercise of their intellectual faculties, is
one of the great problems of the day and
by far too expensive subject to discuss
at present Our aim has been to point
out that in controversies on the ques-
ton the medical aspect of the case is
lost sight of frequently, and it is forgot
ten that, in the competition for life,
woman is the weaker vessel, and liable
to be broken when too roughly handled.
Sage philosophers may speculate what
ages may effect by evolution, but, taking
woman as we find her, we believe that
her welfare is TO be consulted, not by
encouraging her to take an independent
position in life and by fostering con-
tempt for marriage, which is now the
professed tendency of the strong minded
young lady, but by educating her in
such judicious and sensible manner as
will make her good wife, mother, and
useful member of society, which is I'M
fortunately not Standardization of the pres
ent age. If this were more systematic
ally carried out there would be fewer
single women under the necessity of
working for their own living; the out
cry in behalf of these unappropriated
blessings would be modified, and on en-.
tering the marriage state, which is the
happiest as we'll as the healthiest con-
dition, they would place themselves in
the position that is intended by nature
they should occupy.-Sanitory Record.

The NJ. e. Sunday School celebrated
on Sunday evening last, the one hun
dredth. anniversary of the establish
ment of the first Sunday School by
Robert Raikes in Gloucester, England.
The service used was one prepared for
the occasion by the secretary of the
Sunday School Union of the NJ. Z.
Church, and consisted of responsive
readings, interspersed with singing. A
brief address on the founding and
progress of the Sunday School was de-
livered by the pastor. On account of
the rain, the congregation was not
large, but those who were present ap-
peared to enjoy the exercises.
To the Editor Of the Herald This is
the proper season for the setting out of
shade trees, and if the people of Island
Pond should be moved to improve it
as they easily might, there would GER
tainly be a great change for the better
in the appearance of many parts of
our village. The row of thrifty young
NAPLES set out on High street two years
ago is already a source of interest and
pride to all in our village, but how
many more rows of NAPLES and elms
could we find space for! To set out
even single tree, and do the work
well, taking care to place at the roots
a bountiful supply of enrichment, is to
put oneself in the position of creditor
to many persons hereafter. 1t is to
live in the certain gratitude of those
who are to succeed us. 1t may be a
cheap, but it surely is an unselfish
fame. In this section we have seen
enough of the axe and its despoiling.
Let us now have, if we can, something
approaching the spirit of TIE "Arbor
Day." so widely observed in the West.

There are so many conveniences con-

butter and cheese making is accom-
plished with very little hard labor.
The milk room is furnished with large
pans, surrounded with running water;
