How a Murder was Discovered.

From private letter by Sir J. H. LEROY,
lately governor of the Bermuda islands, Pro-
fessor Moseley extracts an account of sin
gular discovery of murder. In the autumn
of 1873, a Bermuda woman suddenly dsap-
peared. Her husband was suspected of hay
ing caused her death, but as no trace of the
missing woman could be found, there seemed
little probability that the crime would be
detected. A week after the disappearance
however, some Somerville boatmen, looking
out towards the sea, were struck by observ-
ing in the Long Bay channel, the surface of
which was rutfied with a slight breeze, a
long streak of calm, such as cask of oil
usually ditfuscs around it when in water
The feverish anxiety about the missing
woman suggested some strange connection
between this singular calm and the mode of
her disappearance and the spot being found
to remain, several men visited the place in n
boat two or three days after it was first no.
tced, and dragged the bottom of the channel
The result was the finding ofthe nearly flesh.
less skeleton to which a heavy weight was
fastened. Some bits of clothing proved the
identify of the body. The husband was
fisherman, and Long Bay channel being n
favorite fishing ground, he calculated, truly
enough, that the fish would very soon destroy
all means of identification but it never en-
tered his head that as they did so, their
ravages, combined with the process of de-
composition, would set free the oily matter
which was TO write the traces Of his crime on
the surface of the water. The husband was
found guilty and executed Professor Nose
ley believes this case must be of unusual in
terest to medical men.

A lady remarkable for her beneyolence
to the brute creation, observed from her
garden gate one day miserable horse, With
the shoulder raw and bleeding, attempting to
Craze on an open spot adjacent; having, by
means of some Bread coaxed the poor ami.
nal to the gate, she then managed, with some
assistance, to cover the wound with adhesive
plaster spread on piece of soft leather. The
man to who the animal belonged Tone of those
ignorant and careless beings whoiare indiffer.
ent to the sutferings of any but themselves)
shortly afterward led the horse away. The
next day, however, the horse made his APP
pearance again at the gate, over which he put
his head and gently neighed. On looking at
him 1t was found that the plaster was remov-
ed, either by the animals master, or by the
rubbing of the ill-made collar in which
he worked. The plaster was renewed The
third day he appeared again, requiring the
same attention, which he solicited in n SINH
lar manner. After this the plaster was al
lowed to remain and the horse recovered ;
but ever after, whenever it saw its bencfac-
tress, it would Immediately approach her and
by voice and action testify its sense of her
kindness and notice This anecdote, for the
truth Of which we can personally testify,
proves how sens BILE the ! orc is of humane
treatment and how grateful for benefits be-
slowed. Considerate treatment nand every
care are due to an animal from whose ser
vices men derives such important benefits; but
too often does man forget that he has duty
to perform, not only towards hissfellowmen
but towards those domestic animals which
Providence has intrutsed to him for his wei
fare.

Appeal in Behalf Of the Maryland Bible
Society.

The Managers of the Maryland Bible So
ciety desire To call the attention ofthe Christ
ian Public to its condition and needs at this
time.
Organized in 1888, it has pursued its work
for nearly half century, in which no man
can tell what blessing it has been to thous-
ands to whom it has carried the Word of
Life.
We observe with great solicitude the scri-
GUS decline in the last few years, in our re-
ccipts, indicating growing indifference to
this Cause. The contributions by the
Churches in the City have been growing less
for ten years past, till the average ofthe last
four years is only one-half ofwhat it was from
1870 to 1875.
Notwithstanding the diminished contribu-
tons, there has been no abatement in the
work of the Society but steady increase in
its issues for the last four years, 20,70S vol
umes having been distributed last year; a lar
ger number than during any of the preceding
seven years.
During the past summer five Colporteurs
were sent into Counties that had not been
canvassed since 1870 and the extent of desti
tuition of the Scriptures existing among those
visited, shows clearly the need of this work
Three young men i'll Dorchester, and one
each in Hartford and Queen Annc's, rendered
service of 10 months in all, in which time
they visited 10000 adults, more than one
eighth of whom were destitute of the Scrip
lures 1908 volumes were distributed. the
greater part being solo, and the balance given
to those unable to buy.
During the first half of the current year, to
September Both, the value of books given in
all channels including so Sabbath Schools
supplied at the cost Of $3.50 "a, amounts TO
81, FAB 81. The expense attending this dis
tribution, for salaries of Colporteurs alone,
was $SG6.95, making direct outlay of
$2,G10.79
For the same time the contributions from
churches and individual Christians for the
whole State amounted to only 1913 SO.
We are now in debt to the American Bible
Society more than $4,000, with no funds to
meet the obligation.
In view of the destitution stated above, and
the ever increasing demand for the supply of
Sabbath Schools, who will say that we ought
to withhold the precious volume from the
thousands growing up in ignorance and sin |?
We feel forcibly the responsibility that is
upon us to continue this good work, and we
earnestly appeal to every Christian in the
State to send us help; and especially to every
Pastor, and all Church Officers, to aid the
cause either by special collection, or other
wise, as in your judgment may seem best
Contributions may be sent to VIM III.

Tobacco Stems and Refuse.

have found that there is no better ferti-
lizer for any and all purposes than tobacco
refuse l have used it for corn, potatoes, to-
bacco, grain, grass, trees, Strawberries, &C.,
and found that it increased healthy growth
and productiveness. There is no better way
ofusing this fertilizer than to apply it with
out the admixture of any other matter, either
as topdressing, plowed down, or in the hill
or drill for hoed crops. The coarse stalks
must be cut to short lengths, which can be
done at leisure during the winter. A double
handful of stalks, four to six inches long, is
sufficient for hill of corn or potatoes, or even
tobacco, where other fertilizers are plowed
down. Tobacco growers in the Connecticut
river valley purchase large quantities of the
leaf stems from tobacco manufacturers, and
apply for tobacco, broadcasting and blowing
under, some putting it in the drill as the
plants are set, using this refuse without any
other manure for the, crop, and they grow as
crops rs if fortified with stable manure l
think it hardly good policy to raise more than
one crop on the same ground. If the leaf
stems are coarsely cut with n hay cutter or
other machine, they will not trouble as much
in spreading in the drill. In blowing down
they must be spread evenly, and then one
hand is needed to haul them into the burrows
as the ground is plowed, if the stem are not cut
AT the second blowing, just before transplant
ing, these stems have so far decayed as to
cause no trouble in the blowing. The guam
tity per acre used varies from 200 or / 500
pounds to 1000 or more pounds; but where
put in the hill or drill care should be used
not to put in too much, or it will burn and
kill the plants set over it, The coarse tobacco
stalks may he spread on grass ground, right
after being strip d and gathered again before
the grass has grown to interfere, and will
serve the purpose of a costly fertilizer; in
such case these partly spent stalks may be
cut in short lengths and compostcd, or they
may be used to pillow down, and will aid in
fertilizing the soil. They should not be
burned, as is sometimes the CASE as one can
see by their burning that there is considera-
bic nitre in them.-C0untry Gentlemen.

MATURING VEGETABLES IN WINTER-Pe-
rennial-rooted vegetables, such as asparagus
and pie-plant, will receive to advantage large
quantities of manure, which may be applied
early in winter, and the liquid portions will
sink into the ground when it thaws, and
prove strong stimulus to growth in spring
The leaves die down in autumn, and there is
no danger in manuring copiously, which
docs not hold with green plants as strawber-
ries, which retain their leaves, and which may
be smothered under any close covering. Rasp-
berries and curIants may be much benefited
where the ground is not rich enough, by
moderate mulching with manure in winter,
spreading it several feet on each side and
avoiding the common mistake of heaping It
closely around the base of the stems.

EHlE IDEAL.

think the song that's sweetest
Is the one that's never sung;
That lies at the heart of the singer
Too grand for mortal tongue.
And sometimes in the silence
Between the day and night,
He fancies that its measures
Bid farewell to the light.
A picture that is tairer
Than all that have part
Among the masterpieces
In the marble halls of art.
Is the one that hauntS the painter
In all his golden dreams,
And to the painter only
a real picture seems.
The noblest, grandest poem
Lies not in blue and gold
Among the treasured volumes
That rosewood bookshelves hold;
But in bright, glowing visions,
1t comes to the poets brain,
And when he tries to grasp it
He finds his effort vain.
A fairy hand from deamland
Beckons us here and there,
And when we strive to clasp it
In vanishes into air.
And thus our fair ideal
Floats always just before,
And we with longing spirits
Reach for 1t evermore.

REMOVAL OF THE CAPrrAL.-F seems that
the general bent of the sentiment in the pre-

a removal is only question of time. The
