There was a scare at VIM. Loeb's, North
Queen street, this morning. Mr.. Loeb
has very pretty improved Smith & Wes-
son revolver which he keeps in his Sleep
ing room. Miss Lowiie, who attends 10 the
chamber work, was attracted by the pretty
toy and while admiring it, it went off
"bang," just as though it had been the
"bulldOzer " with which Guiteau shot
Garfield. Miss Lowlie very properly
swooned. The report of the pistol brought
to the room other members of the family,
who seeing the PROSTATE form of the young
woman naturally supposed she had shot
herself. A doctor was hurriedly sent for
and was soon on hand, but before he had
an opportunity to probe for the ball the
young lady recovered and explained mat
tcrs, greatly to the relief Of all concerned.

After Fifteen Years.

Thomas Patterson of wealthy Mary
land family disappeared from Baltimore
fifteen years ago, after bidding his
young and beautiful wife adieu. Soon
afterward his relatives read in news
paper the description of an unknown
man who had been found dead in Erie.
The body was identified by a brother of
Patterson as that of the missing man,
the letter ''T. p" in Indian ink on his
arm being to him conclusive evidence.
The body was inferred in the family lot
at Wilmington, and the tomb cared for
and adorned with flowers, watered by
the tears of the supposed widow. But
Patterson is still alive. After falling
into dissipated habits, he went to Texas
and was captured by the Indians. He
subsequently escaped and made his way
to Michigan. A short time ago Mrs.
Patterson was surprised to receive an
envelope bearing the postmark of Grand
Rapids, and at once recognized the
handwriting of her husband. It con-
veyed to her the joyful intelligence that
Patterson was prosperous merchant Of
large city in Michigan, had discarded
all his bad habits, was leading the ex-
emplary life of an honest, temperate
man and by strict attention to business
had accumulated fortune. Mrs Pat
terson is still beautiful woman, and
has had many suitors for her hand since
the supposed death of her husband, all
of which she declined.

THE HOME DO CTOR.

The MANAGEMENT OF SICK CHILDREN
The vicissitudes necessarily incident
to an outdoor and primitive mode of
life are never the first causes of any
disease, though they may sometimes
betray it's presence. Bronchitis, now
adays perhaps the most frequent of all
infantile diseases, makes no exception
to this rule; draught of cold air may
reveal the latent progress of the disor-
der, but it's cause is long confinement
in vitiated and overheated atmosphere,
and its proper remedy ventilation and
mild, phlegm-loosening (saccharine)
diet, warm sweet milk. sweet oatmeal
porridge, or honey water. Select an
airy bed room and do not be afraid to
open the windows; among the children
of the Indian tribes who brave in open
tents the terrible winters of the Hudson
Bay territory, bronchitis, Group and
diphtheria are wholly unknown and
what we call a "taking cold" might often
be more correctly described as taking
hot; glowing stoves, and even open
fires, in night-nursery, greatly aggra-
vate the pernicious effects of an impure
atmosphere. The first paroxysm of
Group can be promptly relieved by very
simple remedies fresh air and for

arms, combined in urgent cases with
the application of fesh-brush Tor

the irritability and thus preventing the
discharge of the phlegm till its accumu-
lation produces a second and far more
dangerous paroxysm. These second

FOR THE FAIR SEX.

Travelling costumes of silver-gray
ALPACA are fashionable in Paris.
Some of the chenille fringes are o
foot deep, and the jet beads used upon
them are bigger than cherries.
Paralunes for moonlight promensd
are announced as a supplement to the
parasol. These latest efforts of fash
ion are described as being made of
gauze lined with gay-colored silk.
For travelling, walking and driving
the feather turbans introduced early in
the season remain favorites. These are
composed entirely of feathers. There
are pleasant, lophophore, peacock and
cocks feather turbans. There are also
turbans of plush trimmed with clusters
Of plush flowers.
In the millinery exposed at recent
openings large pokes and round hats
were seen in great numbers the small
bonnets and turbans also found favor.
The poke bonnets introduced this fall
show the small tapering crown instead
of the broad fiat one.
The new Persian or Roman striped,
brocaded or plaided goods in silk or
wool which are now exhibited among
fall dress fabrics are strongly recon-
mended to ladies who wish to remodel

suits with comparatively little expense
Even though these handsome goods
seem high in price, but two or three
yards are required to change plain
dress of dark blue, green, brown or
black into bright attractive costume !;
as mingling the gay-colored material
with the plain trimmings on the skirt,
and adding plastron of panels, with
shoulder cape, deep cuffs and pockets,
quite transforms simple dress into an
attractive costume suitable for any
ordinary occasion.

FOREIGN NEXtsI

Charles Stewart Parnell was arrested
by Detective Superintendent Mallins
ct Morrison's Hotel, Dublin, on two
warrants, signed by Mr.. Forster, chief
secretary of Ireland, charging him with
melting people to- intimidate others
from paying their just rent, and with
intimidating tenants from taking the
benefit of the Land act. Mr.. Parnell
was taken to Kilmainham Jail in cab.
The secretary of the Land League
was interviewed shortly after Mr.. Par
nelrs arrest. He expressed much as
constituent, exclaiming with much ex-
element, "Let them come on; we are
ready for them"
Mr.. Gladstone in announcing the ar
rest of Mr.. Parnell he said: 81 have
been informed that the first step has
been taken toward the vindication of
law and order, in the rights of property
and of the first elements of civilization,
by the arrest of man who entirely
from motives which do not challenge
or examine. has made himself promi-
nent in an attempt to destroy the
authority Of the law. We are not at
issue with the people Of Ireland. I
firmly believe that the majority of the
tenants earnestly desire fair trial of
the Land act.
The distinguished French visitors left
Baltimore with hearts brim full of ell

the car or any of the imperial family.
Another process server has been shot
in Ireland.--The French ministry has
resigned, and M. Gambetta has been
charged with the formation of a new
cabinet.
Excitement over the arrest OF Parnell
continues in Ireland and in Irish circles
in England. There was rioting in Linn
erick and Dublin growing out Of the
arrest. Mr.. Dillon, Mr.. Sexton, Mr..
Quinn and other prominent members of
the Irish land league have been arrested
and committed to the Kilmsinham jail.
There was serious riot at Limerick.
The excitement in Ireland over Par
nells arrest continues. The British
government has taken measures to
promptly meet any outbreak which may
occur. Mr.. Parnell demands the same
treatment as the suspects Lorillard's

How to Select n Cow.

The Hon. HI. Lewis, of New York,
read paper recently before conven-
ton of dairymen in Ontario, from which
we extract:
Again, one breed of COWS will do we'll
on some land, where some other breed
would be almost or quite worthless
Hence I advise every dairyman to select
that particular COW or breed best suited
to his lands where she is to obtain her
food, and best adapted to that branch
of dairy farming in which he is engaged.
If, for instance, your pasture lands
are rough, or on steep side hills, select
a small, active COW, and if butter MAX
ing is your business, the Jersey and
Devon and their grades from our native
COWS will prove satisfactory. But if
cheese making is your business, or the
production Of milk for market, the Ayr
shire is the COW. While her milk is
we'll adapted for cheese or for markets
it is better than the average cows for
butter. Again, if your pasture land,
are productive and moderately level,
with butter making your business,
select the Holderness or the Princess
family of shorthorns, or their grades
from our native COWS. But if cheese or
milk only be your object, the Holstei n
will prove satisfactory.
As the selection of Individual COWS,
suited to our several farms and adapted
to our various wants, would be toe
much of an undertaking, and requires
so much time and care, it can be done
best by selections from our herds of
native COWS, and the use on these of a
thoroughbred bull of that breed de-
sired. In this way, if the selections be
carefully. made, herd can be built up
in a little while founded on our native
stock and at small expense, far exceed
ing In value any of our or herds.
1t has been matter of surprise to me
that our intelligent and progressive
dairymen do not more generally adapt
their cows to their several wants by
breeding sufficient number each year
to make good the annual loss from old
age, accident and disease. A COW reared
on the farm where she is to remain is
always more valuable to her owner than
strange COW.
First, she is acclimated; second, she
is acquainted with the herd with which
she must associate; third, she is fami-
liar with the lands from which she OBJ
tains her food, and can travel over it
with greater ease than strange cow

PorTED MEAT.-Remove all gristle,
hard pieces and fat from the meat
mince it very fine, and pound it in
mortar with a little butter, some gravy,

they should be well coated with paraffine

mines with Mr.. Stephen Johnston who
has, probably, larger acquaintance with
them than any miner amongst us.
The scribe inquired what was the
prospect for further development.
"Well, sir, l may confidently say the
prospects were never more encouraging.
There is n disposition on the part of
Northern capitalists to invest In North
Carolina mines especially, for the reason
that it is in the heart of the precious
metal deposit on the Appalachian chain,
and this particular locality is in the
centre of the group of mines in the
Granite belt; and the business, too,
will still be more extensively conducted
under better sytem at places in every
direction from this commercial central
point. The natural advantages offered
are such as to induce capital here in
preference to other points. Ores can
BIS shipped cheaper from here and ma
chinery and general supplies can be
brought here at a much less cost.
Therefore, assuming that the ores here
arc equal in value with those of other
sections, the profits are necessarily
greater"
81 believe that, sir. Now another
question. In regard to the mines being
operated at this time. on what does their
success depend?"
Entirely with the management. Ev-
cry mine should have one thoroughly
competent man, possessed with the var
qualifications requisite, who will con-
duct the business under a system of
economy adopted by business people in
other enterprises. Then success is GER
tain if you are on true vein we'll devel-
oped, depending on quantity rather than
quality of ore. OF the mines in this
section working under proper system,
l am pleased to notice the operations
at the old Rea Mines, or the Baltimrre
and North Carolina. Extensive under
ground explorations have been made in
the past few months, showing up large
body of ore over head, which when
taken down for reduction will, when
treated, make showing: to prove what
l claim for the mines of this country.
Any failure should not be charged up
to the mine, but to the management :;
and in this connection I claim the right
to say that in The period of twelve
years down here, and seventeen years
in mining altogether, it has been my
good fortune that in no single in
stance have operations ceased under the
management of yonrs truly Chrletbe
