Mushroom Cultivation.

quently made in undergrOund-cellars one
advantage Of subterranean culture being
the uniformity OF temperature thus OBJ
tanned. Some Of the large English hotels
now grow their own mushrooms in this
way. Describing one OF these gardens
lately, a correspondent Of the Gardeners
ChronicIe states that in the underground
cellars OF the hotel at the Crystal Palace,
near birmingham, he saw last winter the
finest crop Of mushrooms he had ever be-
held; the beds were made up on the floor
with manure from the stables, and for six
months they produced an abundance OF
fine, ilesby, wel-llayored mushrooms. A
properly-cultiyated bed OF this kind
IN full bearing, will yield from four
L i've pounds OF this fungi weekly
for every square yard. The largest
establishments of this kind, however, are
in the neighborhood OF Paris, where
the extensive galleries Of the disused city
quarries are utilized for this purpose. In
these the beds run for miles, the mush-
rooms produced being usually OF small
'lze-a feature which rather enhances their
value. Occasionally, however, those cata-
combs have produced enormous speci-
mems. as the one weighing six pounds
.wo ounces, the cap OF which measured
thirteen inches In diameter, and which was
considered sufficiently remarkable to be
presented to the reigning sovereign Louis
Philippe. The quantity Of mushrooms pro-
luced annually In those galleries is not
Known, but there are no fewer than $50
growers; and single society, recently
ounded for developing mushroom-cultiva-
ion In the city vaults and quarries, Is said
o obtain nearly one ton daily from It's beds.

A Boys Pistol OF Fifty Years Ago.

farmhouse Of Taylor Hopes, OF West

his brother Lewis, the latter now de-

gunsmith in West Chester named Emanuel

so very little Is known about comets that
anything like scientific exposition OF their

deal has not been written regarding these
strange celestial visitors. On the contrary,

paths and behavior make the eyes ache

into the lists OF controversy, may easily

CAP. NM. Tbollon and Gouy have lately
been subjecting the great comet (CrulPs)
to the spectroscope. On September 9th
they saw distinct sodium lines, but these
on October 9th had disappeared. while the
four carbon lines remained apparent and
the nucleus gave, with many dark aud
bright lines, narrow, continuous spec

weak on October 10th, and the violent

The conclusion is that under ordina.

HOW NEW ORLEANS QUADROOE TRIED
KILL HER HUSBAND.


New Orleans Picayune.l
Romance, like history, repeats itself, and
the performance given by the melancholy
Dane for the benefit OF his mother and
uncle found Il new rendering last SUNDAY
at IL house OH Frenchmen between Morales
and Goodchildren streets. Jordan Joseph,
An elderly quadroon. has been married
twenty years TO Celestne Ricard. For
some reason they quarreled at the break
fast-table on Saturday. About 10 o'clock
in the forenoon Joseph walked into the
kitchen and observed kettle Of water on
the stove, boiling hot. Although l, was an
unusual hour. the dishes being ali washed
and put away, he did not ask what she was
about, but. feeling sleepy, laid himself
down on the gallery for siesta. He
placed his hat over his face to protect il
from the flies and his eyes from the light,
and was soon snoring quite comfortably,
his left ear uppermost.
Celestine was waiting for this opportuni-
ty, and rs soon as she was satisfied that
Joseph was sound asleep she stepped light
ly into the kitchen and took the kettle OF
boiling water of the stove. On tiptoe she
cropt back TO the gallery on which her hus-
band was asleep, and holding the spout in
such a position that the hot water would
run into his ear, she tilted the kettle. Her
hand was unsteady, and few drops fell
out OF the spout and on Joseph's face.
With yell Of anguish he awoke, and then
Celestine elevated the kettle, the scalding
water falling on the neck and back Of
Josepb's head, scalding him terribly. He
gained his feet and seized the woman. but
She kept him from injurng her by pouring
the water on his left leg and feet. The
agony was more than Joseph could bear,
and he released her, and she escaped. Since
then the couple have been lodging each
other in various parts OF the city.

ARREST OF ONE OF THE CLvEREsT CRINlNA
IN THE COUNTRY-HER DOINGS.

ARREST OF ONE OF THE tLNtkfSI ,hiNiNAio
IN THE COUNTRY-HER D0INGs.
A New York special says:
Mary Miscsel, young Englis hwolnan,
was arrested to-day by detectives on
tie charge of robbing John II. Davis,
banker OF No. Il Wall street. The police
deem her one OF the cleyerest criminals OF
her class In the country. On the l3th IN
slant she engaged with Mr.. Davis as gov
erness for his children, and gave refer
ences in Philadelphia. On the follow
ing day she disappeared with Jew
elery belonging to her employers daugh-
ter valued at $4,000. The police found
the Philadelphia references myth. They
learned that she had been stopping at the
Windsor Hotel, Jersey City, under the
name of Mrs. Collins. and left without pay
ing her bill. She had also been canyasser
for Park-Place publishing firm, under
the name Of Grace Henderson. A letter
addressed TO her ut Mrs. Davis's house
came from Philadelphia. A detective went
there and found the sender, who said he
crossed the ocean with her last August.
When he learned her character he gave his
aid in capturing her. He put personal IN
the Herald, to which she responded, not
giving her address. but stating that she
would call at the post-ofiice every day FOR
a letter. and 1t was there the police arrest
ed her to-day.
A part Of the stolen iewelry, worth per-
haps a 200, was found on her. She said
her real name was Shaw, aud that she mar
ried "a German named Book, from whom
she separated. She is twenty-seven years
old. dark, and very ladylike. well educated,
and speaks half the modern languages.
She claims that her brother is one OF the
weslthiest OF English copper-masters.
When she came to this city first Qn june
she presented letter to Mr.. Ransom. OF
the law-firm Of knevals Ransom,
President Arthur's partner, letter
from friend OF his in England, in
which she was described rs wealthy
lady looking for child that had been
stolen from her and strongly commended
TO his care. She complained that she had
been robbed OF or lost her check-book, and
borrowed first $40 and afterward $50 from
Mr.. Ransom for her needs. This was the
last he saw OF her. Immediately after this
she got 500 on forged draft from an
agent OF the White star Steamship Line.
When this fraud was discovered she had
fed 10 Europe. In August she returned
here and went to Brooklyn, where she
robbed her landlady, Mrs. Netos, of $40.
How many more thefts she has committed
is yet an open question.
