CHANGED HIS MIND.-A Rochester n.
Y, despatch says that Monday morning the
girls who are employed at the Niagara Falls
paper mill discovered an apparently dying
young man near Rebccca's well, on Goat
Island. The young man was still conscious
and croaning from intense suffering. lie
gave his name as Edward Short, and said he
was a son Of John NJ Short, a farmer of
Harlland, Vt. lie said he had proceeded to
Niagara Falls for the purpose of committing
suicide, but lost courage at the sight of the
great cataract and chose death from a revol-
yer in his own hands as a more expeditions
and easy form of suicide. Therefore he pro-
cceded 10 the point where found and shot
himself through the right ear and lodged the
bullet in the right upper portion Of the skull,
fracturing the latter and shattering the brain.
Dr. Clark of Niagara Falls probed for the
bullet. but could not get il, owing TO the
splinters of the skull in the way. Short,
who is about twenty-four years old, was re-
moved 10 the hospital at Lockport, and atclc-
gram was forwarded to his father

Az Ice FAMINE prevails in New York.
Throughout the city the demand far cx-
ceeds the supply, and it is probable that the
supply will become still smaller. A CORES
ponlent says: The ice men have advanced
the price 10 a cent pound TO families and
SO pcr ton. Last year at this time it was
thirty cents per hundred 10 families and
Sl.50 per ioI Even at these prices many
Lave been unable 10 obtain any ice, and
much suffering and loss have been caused
by the lack Of it, In the tenement districts,
especially where many families cannot af
ford 10 purchase ice regularly, and depend
upon obtaining 1t in small quantities from
the corner groceries when it becomes Il ne
cessity, il is found almost impossible to oh
tain any, whatever the price offered. In
quiIN among saloon AMI restaurant keepers
druggists, butchers, groccrs and Others
whose business requires them to use large
quantities of ice, shows that all the COM
panics have advanced their prices, and that
many slorehcepcrs have been left entirely
without ice. In Washington and Fulton
markets the same increase of price and
scarcity Of ice are found. ,lany who
grumhled at the prices charged would have
been willing To pay even more could they
frigeratOis and thus avoid the loss which
must necessarily follow its absence Among
all who consume ice the opinion prevails
that the present scarcity has been artiiicially

be remembered that the necklace. valued by

vas held some time for the payment Of 500
600 duties. which Lieutenant Fitch. not be
ing rich. could not pay. Congress finally
passed an act authorizing the Custom House
officer, to deliver the diamonds free Of duty.
which was done, and they were sent to
Washington for safe keeping in the Treas
urv. After this Lieutenant Fitch ascer-
tanned that the YEARLY taxes on the diamonds
in 81. Louis county Missouri, where be
lived. would be much more than his salary.
and he once more found them an elephant on
his hands. His father-in-law. General Shcr-
man, took pity on the boy and returned the
necklace with thanks to the donor in Egypt
Upon receiving them the khedive wrote to
the General. saving that il was not his de-
sire that the diamonds should be given TO
any one member of his family. and having
learned that he had four daughters, il was
his wish then that the diamonds should be
mounted in sets and divided equally among
them. These daughters are Mrs Fitch
Minnie Shermanl. Ella Sherman, Lizzie
Sherman and Rachel Sherman. The neck
lace was then returned to the Sherman fam
lily. and mounted in four magnificent pen
dants, four pairs Of splendid solitaire ear
rings and eight rings. These four ladies
are now the happy possessors Of four com
plete suits of diamonds. the value Of each
suit being at least $4,000. This makes
each of them rich in her own right, through

lie Found . Bowery Boy.

Ii is related Of Thackeray that, being
very desirous TO see a "Bowery boy" he
went with friend into the haunts of that
peculiar creature to look for one. Very
soon his companion, pointed out to him a
genuine specimen, standing on the corner OF
a street against lamp-post, red-shirted,
black soap-locked, shiny hated
with a cigar in his mouth, elevated at an
angle of forty-fve degrees.
After contemplating him for few mo-
ments, Thackeray said to his'friend that he
would like to talk to the fellow, and asked
if he might do so
Surely" he was told; "go to him and
ask him to direct you somewhere"
Thereupon Thackeray approached, and
said politely:
'.My friend, should like to go" such a
place.
'Well," replied the Bowery boy. in his
peculiar tones, and without moving any
thing but his lips as he looked up lazily at
the tall. gray-haired novelist .'well. sonny,
you can go, if you won't stay too long

The horseshoe was of old held to be of
special service as .eourity against the at
tacks Of evil spirits. The virtue may have
been assigned, perhaps. by the rule Of CON
traries, from it being a thing incompatible
with the cloyen foot of the evil one, or from
the rude resemblance which the horseshoe
bears to the rays Of glory, which in ancient
pictures are made to surround the heads of
saints and angels, or, finally, from some no.
ton of its purity acquired through passing
the fire. This latter supposition receives
some countenanee from the method resorted
to for the cure Of horses that had become
vicious or afflicted by any distemper that
the village farriery did not understand /;
such disease was invariably attributed to
witchcratt, and the mode OF cure seems to
imply the belief that the imperfect purifics,
ton by fire of the shoes which the animal
wore had afforded an inlet to msleyolent in
huences Accordingly the horse was led
into the smithy. the door closed and barred,
the shoes we're taken OF and placed in the
fire. and the witch or warlock was speedily
under the necessity of removing ,he spell
under which the animal suffered. Sailors
are, for the most part, careful to have 8
horseshoe nailed to the mizxenmast or some
where Oh deck near midships, Ar the pro-
lection of the vessel. The Chinese have
their tombs built i'll the shape Of the horse
shoe, which custom is very curious, ~ it
may he fairly regarded as branch OF the
superstition long prevalent among ourselves.
