A Thousand Dollars a Minute,
From the Boston Herald,


Mr.. Eddy, the veteaan patent solici.
tor Of Boston, is regular encyclope-
dia of incidents referring to inventors.
He tells ola man nomed Hurd, who
belonged to Stoneham, who realized
$4,000 and gave the world one of the
most valuable inventions ever produced
all the result of about half an hours
thought. His invention was the ma
chine now everywhere used for extract
ing molasses from sugar. When the
idea occurred to him he sketched it
down and gave it to Mr.. Eddy and au-
thorized him to take out a patent. Re-
turning home he forgot all about the
matter and applied himself to other af-
fairs. Subsequently gentleman en-
gagged in the sugar business saw the in
vention in Mr.. Eddy's Office, and at
once appreciated its value. The solicit
tor was instructed to purchase the pat.
ent, which he supposed he could do
for moderate sum. The first offer of
$1,000 was refused, and not until the
figure of $4,000 was reached did Mr..
Hurd surrender. The machine is used
in all the sugar countries of the world.
Mr.. Robertson, who was the merican
cosul at Hague, and the Aspinwalls of
New York, made millions out of the in

A Luxurious Bathroom.
Paris Correspondent

Among the things we sometimes
read about, but never really see, may
be included the bathroom of the Mar.
quise Annonati Visconti, who has given
a description of the interior of her bvoa.
hotel in the Rue de Jouv. She has had
a dispute with her architect. The lat
ter, NJ. Pousin, is alleged to have de.
parted from the plans and drawings
agreed on, and the lady is anxious to
terminate her agreement with him.
Full plans and details of the marvellous
luxury Of the interior fittings of the
bathroom have been given. 1t is lit by
handsome stained glass windows, vain
scoted with lava from Vesuvius, and
hung with rare old tapestry. The bath
is made of solid silver, the water is sup
piled by dolphin, a pressure on the
one eye causes the water to come out
hot, and on the other cold, while the
movement Of the tongue allows the
bath to empty itself in moment. The
whole house is fitted up in the same
luxurious manner, but the architect is
said to have neglected several import
ant details, and consequently the mar
quise insists on forbidding him to re-
enter the house for the moment.

Hay Fever.
New York Sun.

The writer of this communication
has been sufferer from hay fever pc
riodically for the past twelve years,
during half of which period she could
get no satisfactory relief. The intoler-
able itching of the eyelids and almost
constant sneezing which characterize
the complaint in its worse form she
had to endure until six years ago, when
the following remedy was brought to her
notice in the columns of newspaper:
Into four-ounce, wide-mouthed bot
tie, half filled with cotton, and having
a close stopper, put the following mix
ture: % drachms carbolic acid, 8
drachms aqua ammonia, Specific gray
ity O.960), 5 drachms distilled water, u
drachms alcohol. Inhale through the
nostrils. This mixture, being of a vola-
tile nature, must be kept as much as
possible from exposure, in order to
preserve as much as possible its strength
and prevent discoloration. 1t does not
purport to be specific. for that has
not yet been discovered; but it has
proved itself a ready relief in the case
ofthe writer, and many who have suf-
fered in the same way.

The Storm.

CHICAGO, July 22.-The freight train
on the Milwaukee division of the C. &
N. W. r. R. ran into a washout this
morning, ditching the engine and seven
cars. and killing the brakeman, Ed.
Hughes. The wreck was complete and
delays traffic greatly, although active
effor are being made to clear the track.
Several cases are reported this morn
ing of lightning striking, but there
was no great damage in any of them.
Reports come in from all over the
northwest, showing that yesterday was
intensely hot in most places; and that
the storm when it came was one of the
most severest ever experienced, it be-
ing combination of lightning, thunder
and heavy rain. Many cases Of strokes
Of heavy lightning are mentioned; and
some of them disastrous. Among the
latter two telegraph operators, who
died at Key, by the burning of Cable
& Phillips creamery. A barn at Kan
kakee, of Badger & Son, and large

An Arkansas Feud,

LITTLE Rock, July 22.-Troubles in
Perry county have broken out afresh.
1t will be remembered that few weeks
ago, County Judge Harris and J. T. W.
Matthews, editor of the Fouch Valley
Times, We're ordered by select band
Of outlaws to leave the country. Affairs
reached such crisis that Governor
Churchill sent General Newton, COM
mander of the state militia, to the scene
to investigate the matter. The truce
was temporarily, and was broken last
night by the cowardly assassination of
Matthews.
The Gasette's Moulton special of this
date, says q messenger from Perry
vile arrived at daylight this morning,
tn attend Mr.. Matthews, editor Of the
Fouch Valley Times, who was shot last
night. at 9 o'clock, in front of his Office.
Eighteen buckshot took effect in his
# side. Matthews and his clerk had
been out of town and were returning to
the office, the clerk was in the lead
and was on the point of opening the
door with Matthews just behind him,
when a shot was fired and Matthews

could not be recognized. Notice was
left at Judge Harris's, advising that gen.
tlenan to leave the country. A later
dispatch announces the death of Mat

A Little Love Story.
From the Troy Times.

A touching little romance illustrating
wifely devotion has come to light in
Mount Ida. -Four years ago comely
young lady was accepting the attentions
of two young gentlemen, one the pos
SCISSOR of fair competence and the
other poor, like herself. Upon the
death of her parents the grandmother
assumed her control. To please this
relative she consented to unite her for
tunes with those of the poor young
man, who besides his impoverished cir
cumstances was cripple. The more
acceptable sutton was nearly crazy.
A tempting offer 10 enter business in
New York was refused by him. He
declared his intention to be where his
loved one, then the wife of another,
was located. A year after the wedding
the husband fell i'll. As disease made
inroads upon his constitution, and pow
erty stalked in at the door, the young
wife was obliged to seek employm ent
in knitting mill. Last week, after his
long illness, in which he was steadfast-
ly attended by his hard working COM
panion, death brought an end to the
poor cripple's existence. During his
illness the rejected lover was the con-
tributor of delicacies 10 the sick, which

POisOnin Lemonade.

There's a business which ought to be
suppressed" remarked an eminent
professor Of chemistry to a reporter, as
the couple passed a stand where "lem-
onade" was being dispensed from an
ice.cooler which had evidently seen its
best days.
"Why SOP" asked the scribe.
'Lemonade," replied the professor
in his most impressive manner, seven
when made from lemons, in a tin YES
sci with soldered joints, or in galvan-
lied iron vessel, will take up the lead
from the one or the zinc from the
other. A salt is then formed which is
very unwholesome, and when taken
continually or in large quantities is alb
solutely poisonous. This Injurious &C
ton is considerably increased if citric
and tartaric acids are used instead of
lemons in making the lemonade.
Consequently, the use of such vessels
for lemonade should be avoided, es-
pecially if the contents are allowed to
stand for any length of time. An
overdose Of any Of these acids is bad,
and they are worse when taken in the
form OF lemonade. Nothing would be
likely to give you the cholera quicker
than succession of those drinke."-

The Alaska Natives.

Commander Henry Glass, command
ing the United States steamer James
town, at Sitka, Alaska, has forwarded
to the Navy Department at Washing
ton the long and interesting report up
on the condition and affairs in that ter
ritory. He says: Indians are every
where quiet. An industrial school for
boys has been established at Sitka, un-
der the auspices of the Presbyterian
Board of Missions ofNew York. Twen-
ty Indian boys, selected for their intell-
igence and good conduct, are in attend
ance. The number will be increased
from time to time by boys from other
tribes in Alaska. 1t is intended to teach
the boys trades, that they may in turn
become teachers in the different
tribes.' Lieutenant Glass says: '"The
establishment of this school in Sitka,
where Indians can be taught trades and
at the same time receive instruct
ion in English branches, will, in my
opinion, be of more service TO the tribes
at large than if even a greater number
of boys were sent out of the territory
for the same instruction, as here their
improvement from day to day will be
seen and appreciated by those older
than themselves, and will more imme-
diately affect the habits and customs If
the Indians" Commander Glass fined
and imprisoned one of the Indian
chiefs, to stop, if possible, the burning
of Indians denounced as witches, and
prevented what might have been pro-
tracted feud between two tribes.

What Moody Says Of Guiteau.

A statement having appeared in the
press that Guiteau, the assassin of
President Garfield, had been co-work-
er with Mr.. Moody the evangelist. and
had lectured under the auspices of the

porter called on Mr.. Moody at his
home, in Mortified, Mass, to ascer-

Mr.. Moody stated that he had known
any confidence in him, and thought
him bad man. He had more ego

knew, and he thought he was not entire

That William Again.

WASHINGTON, July 21-The grand
Jury of the criminal court appeared
before court at l o'clock this p. m.
District Attorney Corkhill in short
address said, when he asked that
the grand jury should not be held
until after the Fourth Of July, nobody
expected or dreamed of so great a
crime being committed, as an
attempt on the life of the presi-
dent. This crime was one which
everybody admitted at the time would
demand prompt and certain punish
ment in case of fatal result to the
president. He had therefore deemed
it his duty to hold the grand jury to
await the result of the presidents in
juries. While all the country are deep
ly grateful that the president is in a
fair way of recovery it cannot yet be
told just what action must or should be
taken toward the punishment of the
.would-be assassin. The district attor-
ney then read note addressed to him
by the surgeon attending the president,
in reply to an official request from him
as to the presidents case and his recov-
cry. This note was signed by DR.. Bliss
and the other three surgeons. 1t was that
while the president has up to the pres
sent time done exceedingly well and we
anticipate his recovery, we cannot
assert with confidence that his injuries
may not result fatally.
Col. Corkhill said that in view of this
condition of the president, he would
move that the grand jury be discharged
until September -; and the court so
ordered. So nothing will be done with
Guiteau, not even towards indicting
him, before fall.

Comet "C".

WASHINGTON, July 25.--The new

naval observatory here, yesterday
morning, and again this morning.
Prof. Eastman, of the naval observs-

or rather this morning. l had only
five minutes to observe on account of
clouds, and did not see much. lex
pect it will be visible to the naked eye
soon, in about ten days, and it will not
90 so far north as the other. We will
be able to see it early in the evening in
the west, and early in the morning in
the east. 1t has something of a TAIL
which will grow more distinct. The
comet is labelled as comet "C", being
the third comet discovered this year

Growth and Weight Of Children.

Some interesting studies with refer
ence to the health and growth of chill
dren have been made by DR.. Boulton,
of the Samaritan Hospital, London:
and instead of taking the average of
large number of children measured
once, he adopted the plan of measur-
ing a number Of children Of normal
growth, brought up under ordinary cir
cumstances, many times, thus ascer-
tanning their rate of increase. By this
means, the annual rate of growth was
found to vary between two and three
inches for each child per year. DR..
Boulton believes that when child
varies more than quarter of an inch
annually, or when his weight does not
correspond with his weight within a
margin of safety-put at seven pounds
then it is safe to conclude the child's
diet is not good, or possibly some dis.
ease is lurking in his system. The
curious fact appears that loss of weight
always precedes the development Of
consumption.

More Storm Disaster.

LA CROSSE, July 25.-The storm of
Wednesday night did great damage, es-
pecially to Coon Valley, 20 miles
where property was deluged,
dams swept away, and deaths and de-
struction marked its path. The house
of Hans Jensen, Norwegian, was sur.
rounded by torrent, and his wife and
children, ranging in age from 6 months
to Is years, made frenzied attempts to
escape the rising flood. However, it
soon engulfed them, and they were
swept along lifeless with the water.
The father, who was in La Crosse, first
learned the news last night. The roads
being impossible and there being no
communication by telegraph.
