a. Sickening Story.

A revolving tragedy was enacted in London
county, Virginia, on the 5th inst. Merrill Mott,
small farmer of that place, quarrelled with
his wife. His sister-in-law took the w1fe's part,
which so enraged Mott that he went into his
barn, where he obtained a large knife. with
which he made a savage attack on the sister-in-
law. intlicting wounds which he seemed to think
were fatal. He then took down his gun, fired
the contents into the air. cooily reloaded it,
and placed it under his own chin, and fred.
The shot blew away the lower part of his face,
tearing away the tongue. but it did not prove
instantly fatal. While lying in pool of blood
he noticed that his sister-in-law began to show
signs of life, and with demoniac purpose he
dragged himself toward the prostrate body,
lifted large stone, and allowed it to fall on her
head. He was about to repeat the tiendish act,
when his wife came on the scene. She wrenched
the stone from him, and used it on his own
head, quickly dispatching him. The sister-in-
law died few minutes after.

Meerschaum Mines

The most extensive depots. of meer-
schaum are IN Asia Minor and are about
twenty-four miles southeast OF the CITY
OF Esklscher, formerly Dorylea, the in
habitants OF which, numbering about
twelve thousand Americans and Turks.
are principally employed in collecting or
dealing IN this mineral. It Is obtained
down in the earth, shafts OF pits being
sunk to a. depth of twenty-seven or
thirty-three, feet. Forty or fifty miners
work in one; mine and form accompany,
dividing tha profits among themselves.
The stones are generally irregular in.
shape, and gary greatly in size, being
from the size OF a nut to a square foot or
more. The largest pieces are the most
in demand, and the dearest. The.
mineral, when freshly dug, is Of yellow
ish white calor, and covered about a.
finger thick. with red, greasy earth, So
soft that 1t can be cut with knife. The.
treatment which the meerschaum must
be subject to. before it is fit for export is;
very expensive and tedious. The pieces
must first he freed from the adhering
earth and dried for five OF sil days in the.
sun, or for eight or ten days in warm;
rooms. The mineral is then cleaned q
second time and polished with wax.
After this it's sorted into different grades,
OF which there are ten, and carefully
packed with cotton into boxes for export.
The stones, lose two-thirls of their
weight and volume in the operation of
cleaning anddrying. The p1ice depends
upon the demand. The largest guam bity
is sent to Vienna and Germany.

A Queer Trade.
From the London News. I

France, always fertile In discovering
professions for her childran, has just in
vented new occupation. A man goes
about tile streets of Paris bearing
small tray covered with green cloth, On
this tray are pack OF cards, 9 set Of
dominoag, and a dice box With, this
stock in trade, the man. who styles HIM
self IL Amateur, . goes to the hause OF
invalids and idle persons, and for a
small fee plays with them at anE-of the
games which can be manages with such
properties as cards, dice and dGrninoes
1t is said that the ''a1mateur makes
very comfortable living by this discovery
of a want in the social organization of
Paris. Undoubtedly this amateur card
player is much more likely to- be In de-
maead than the senl-mwh illogical
Quartorzieme, who was supposed at one
tine to earn a. livelihood in Paris by at
tending dinner parties, wheee, by some
,aistake, the number of guests was the
fatal thirteen. This number fourteen
was expected to entertain the company
with brilliant conversation. and was said
to receive large fee for his service.
But the persons giving dinner who so
far defy she laws laid down by Brillaa-
Savanin as to be in any danger of fnd-
ing themselves at the, eleventh helu
with thirteen at table are comparatively
few, and there must have been seasons
when the Quartorziesne had but q duh
time of it.

his vessel in that port by Chilians, while he was
on shore. Charles Austen and Robert Leish

United States flag. One of the Chilian officers
stamped on the flag several times, uttering
curses against the people of the United States,

ing up OF two of their vessels during the war
with Peru. The chief officer of the Chilian ex-
pedition afterwards offered Captain Gaige the
value of the launch provided he would not
make any claim to the government. but Capt.
Gaige refused to accept the terms. Immediate
" after Gaige was placed at liberty he entered
