4 Precious Ornament.

at Washington reception, says an
exchange, unique ornament was worn
by lady. 1t was long brooch or lace
pin, consisting OF the rattles and button
of an unusually large snake, set in n
gnife-edge setting of polished gold.
There was q lovely face above it, and
the grisly jewel caught together the
edges of an exquisite lace scarf, but the
rattlesnake trophy was rather discon-
certing to some delicate ladies, who
withdrew from the wearer with fanciful
shivers, when they saw what the thing
really was. In explanation of such a
strange ornament, it is said that while
with her husband on the Florida coast
her only child, little daughter, was
saved from the deadly snake and when
all coiled and ready to spring upon her.
The man whs killed the snake and saved
the girls life was handsomely rewarded,
and the mother having obtained the
rattles, had them mounted. The pin is
always worn by her in grateful remem-
brance of the event and ut the largest
balls, the great receptions, and the
swell germans the rattlesnake trophy
appears. There is an Indian belief that
IL u set Vi fdltleS are WoIH On THO uedu
blindness will always be prevented, and
there is q trapper's belief that the dust
from snakes rattles will cause blind
ness ard terrible ills, and much other
rattlesnake lore by the well versed
whenever this famous breastpin puts IN
an appearance. 1t is noticeable then
that the young ladies who wear the
most lifc-like ana expensive of the en-
ameled snake bracelets coiled around
their wrists, or gold adders, with dia-
mond eyes, around their throats, are
the very ones who shrug their shoulders
and call it "queer for any one to wear
a part of genuine snake as an orna-
ment.

wun Lung, All Lee and Widow MeGee.

Walt Quevedo, i'll the New York Sam
day Dispatch, tells the following Chi
nese story
A Celestial, just landed from Hoang
Ho, who'd been in the business with
Ko Che Bo, arrived on this shore, with
money galore, which his name it was
Wun Lung, and so and so. He'd been
here but a month and day, I'll say,
when he found a good job that would
pay his way. For in front of a door,
Chatham street, A, was a sign that
made Johnny Chinee feel gay. "Me
goee and knockee up dealee," said he,
"Git Mclean man sellee housee to me;
me wishee wash cola, me should smile,
me should holla ! Gittee Itch, go TO
China, an mally All Lee" He soon
struck bargain, and then began to
mangle the garments of woman and man;
the trade soon did flock to the Chinama g
block, and be got as rich as man well
can. A bias-eyed beauty was she, All
Lee; she'd vowed that she'd still remain
free, and he had sworn by his queue
that he would be true and return to the
country of tea, dye see? Her pa was
High Low Jack of Kak Y Yak, and he
had the Doodle to back his pack. He
was a big card-owned his private
graveyard and he'd promised when
Wun Lung came back to ''whack." But
Wun was an unfaithful son of gun,
and he married a woman-did Wun for
fun-whose name was McGee; she was
just forty-three, and the troubles of
Lung dropped in one by one. The
widow was Queen of the Tub-she'd
rub from morning till night. She would
scrub for grub; she weighed most a
ton, and when her little Wun would
kick, she'd cram into the tub her
hub. One night-they were both sleep
ing side by side she rolled on him and
spread his hide out wide. She bursted
Wun Lung-she should have been hung,
but the coroner's jury lied: 'suicide. :"
The tidings went over the sea to All
Lee, and she took o big dose of hari-
kari; for though she had trusted, her
maiden heart busted, and that was the
end of All Lee. All, mel But Mrs.
Wun Lung got a fright one night. A
figure appeared dressed in white what
q sight 1t grabbed up knife, and it
jabbed out her life and boosted her high
as kite-ah, quite Each night-so
It's said by the heathen Chinee-at mid
night the ghosts of Wuu Lung and All
Lee can be seen by the side of the
corpse of the bride, chewing candles
and singing quite merrilee.

A Settled Case.

A case was recently decided in a
Canadian court which establishes an
important point as to the rights of
church worshippers. The defendant
was a gentleman who rented pew in q
church, and was accustomed to sleep
during the sermon, and worse than that,
says the Chicago Iribtne, to snore.
The snoring was declared nuisance by
the brethren, and they sought to COM
pei him to give up his pew. He re-
fused to DO so, and took his stand upon
the fundamental position that he paid
for his pew, that it was his own. and
that he could do what he pleased with
it. The brethren thereupon brought
suit against him, charging him with
maintaining q nuisance. The court
decided that a pew is like berth in
sleeping-car the person who hires it
can sleep or stay awake, and can snore
or not, as seemeth good unto him.
Furthermore, as snoring is not an act
of volition, but is incidental to the re-
taxation Of certain muscles, there is no
malice or premeditated malevolence in
it; consequently the snorer is not
vicious disturber Of the peace of the
church. The snorer has returned to
his place, and the brethren now threaten
that at the expiration of the time for
which he has hired the pew it shall not
be relet TO him. In answer the bold
snorer says he will apply for mandamus
compelling the church to rent him the
property. The case is an a2gravating
one, but it would seem as if some means
might be devised that would make it so
lively for the snorer that he would take
himself and his trumpet elsewhere.

The LanlsOn Case.

Dr. George Henry Lamson, found
guilty of the murder of his brother-in-
law in London, is an American, aud the
son of an Episcopal clergyman who has
been connected with the American
Chapel in Paris and with English-speak-
ing churches OF other cities of the Con
tinent, more recently with the chapel
in Florence. He is about 35 years of
age, but looks to be at least 40. He
took his medical degree in Paris, and
was afterward licensed by the Edin-
burgh College of Physicians and Sur
geons. He served as q surgeon in the
several European wars OF the last de-
cade, winning a number of medals from
different governments. Upon his re.
tirement from army service, he settled
down to practice in Hampshire, Eng
land. Last spring he visited this coun-
try. His practice was not remunera-
live.
Percy Malcolm John, his victim, was
the brother of DIR. Lamson's wife. He
was youth 10 years of age, and stu
dent IN the. Blenheim House School, at
Wimbledon, where the murder was
committed. Young John suffered from
q disease OF the spine, but otherwise his
health was generally good. At times he
had to take medicine, and it was this
fact that DIR. Lamson took advantage
of. Upon his death before his majority
about SIT, 500 which he had inherited
would go to Mrs. Lamson and another
sister.
On Dec. 3, 1881, DR.. Lsmson called
upon his brother-in- law. He left some
quinine powders for him, and to show
him how to avoid the disagreeable taste
poured one into q genaline capsule,
which young John swallowed. After
visit of half an hour DIR. Lamson left for
Paris. Two hours later Percy John
was taken severely sick. Physicians
when he died.
An analysis of the contents of his
stomach and OF the viscera revealed the
presence of aconite, a most deadly vege-
table poison. Aconite was also found
in some of the quinine powders left by
DR.. Lamson. The circumstances sur
rounding tho death of Percy John as
published cast suspicion upon DR..
Lamson. This fact, he said, induced
him to return from Paris aud surrender
himself at Scotland Yard on December
s, five days after the murder. He did
SO, he said, for the purpose of clearing
himself of suspicion, but to his chagrin,
he was arrested. The chemical analyses
were not completed until January 20,
and the results obtained, together with
the circumstances mentioned, induced a
coroner's jury to commit DR.. Lamson
on a charge of willful murder.

PitiabIe Episodes of the Floods.

A dispatch from New Orleans says :
A letter was received from the lower
Mooney township which stated that
there was no feed for stock in the coun-
try, and asking that some be sent if the
government had begun to issue any
thing in that line. Advices similar to
this are being received from all direc-
t1ons and give one an idea of the terri
BILE condition of the ANIMALS in the flood
which as yet have not been provided for
by the government. A colored woman,
Martha Green by name, with two chill
dren, got off the steamer Dean Adams
at this place on Saturday. She was
among the many flying from the devas-
tations of the food near Riverton. She
was utterly destitute and the picture
was q sad one, as with tattered garments
and sunken cheeks, she and her chill
dren roamed up and down the levee, not
knowing what course to pursue. She
had been brought up by the kindness
of Captain Cheek, who advised her to
stop at Helena, as quite a number were
on the boat at that time bound for Mem
phis, and it occurred to him that it
would be the better policy not to have
ttt@ oSCA IIlC cdAlC blttCC vi iCluSC. AANA
husband, when the overflow first came,
carrying off their little log house and
with it all their small personal property,
had got on boat and gone to Mem
phis, as she said. to procure assistance,
but that was the last seen of him, and it
remained an open question whether he
had been drowned or had concluded to
rid himself OF his starving dependents.
These poor creatures were taken in hand
by some ladies of the city, given imme-
diate provisions and place to rest in
for the time being. They were sup
piled by the committee distributing the
rations voted by Congress. The woman
gave terrible account of the destruc-
ton that took place at their home and
around them, and said that but for the
kindness of the white people of the
locality she and her children would have
drowned or starved. AS it was, but for
the timely appearance of passing
skiff, which took her and her little ones
out, they would have surely been swept
away by the running water III five min
utes more. The experience of this poor
woman is the experience of thousands
who are to-day without means of their
own to support themselves for the COM
ing few weeks until the bottoms will
be again tillable.

A Voice from Salt Lake.
LETTER FROM MORMON WIFE A NON
BELIEVER IN PoLYGAMY AND BLOOD

The Salt Lake City Tribune pub
woman well known in that city:
George Q. Cannon asserts in a recent
interview that the Mormon people are
unanimous III their opposition to the
Edmunds bill. / know that this is not
true. have been Mormon for TWEEN
ty-one years and / still believe in all the
principles that were taught me when /
embraced Mormonism in England. I
don't believe in polygamy and blood
atonement, but 1 never heard of those
principles until came to Utah in 1868.
Neither do believe in the obligations
we are forced to take on ourselves in
the Endowment House. know many
persons who are Mormons, in the same
sense that / am, who believe in all the
principles that were first Taught them,
but who do not believe IL polygamy,
blood atonement or any other wicked
ness that is practiced in the name of re-
ligion.
l know women who signed the
Mormon memorial to Congress because
they feared to lose their own andsstheir
children's bread if they refused. Yet
these very women are hoping and pray
ing that Congress will put down
polygamy. One woman who signed the
memorial because sho dared not do
otherwise said to me, "If Congress
gives Cannon his seat and don't put
down polygamy with strong hand /
will say the members OF Congress are
as bad as the Mormons. Another
woman, friend of mine, says" do
not know the man who brought the
petition to my house, but supposed him
to be n Gentle. I asked him if the
petition was against polygamy and he
said it was. have suffered terribly in
p5iygamy and signed my name quickly
enough, but after had done so some
thing in his manners made me suspi-
cious, and / asked him il it was not the
Mormon petition against the Edmunds
bill. He had my name then, so he told
me the truth. [ asked him to cross
my name out, but he would not do il"
Another woman said: "When they
brought the petition to my house they
told me that the Edmunds bill would
take away our homes ana strip us of
everything, and | signed because I be-
lieved what told they me-"
L have not seen the memorial myself.
Those who brought it around knew bet
ter than to ask me to sign it. They
think have "a rebellious spirit" and
my husband said 10 me only few days
ago:
"When the law of God is in fnll force
and we get rid Of all these blamed Gen
tiles and cutthroats, then all such wo-
men as Won are will be killed.

An Earthquake Region.
PHYSICAL FEATURES OF THE DISTRICT
LATELY RAvAGED so SEVERELY.

OF all the Central American republics
! Costa Rica can lay just claim to having
the greatest number of mountaias and
valleys to each square mile of territory,
| for with the exception of comparative
ly small area on the Atlantic side the
country presents surface of extraor-
binary irregularity. When nature be-
gan the construction of tho great chain
of the Cordillelas that extends through
out the whole length of the American
continent she evidently singled out
Costa Rica as the proper Place to locate
buttress ard there dumped, as it
were, all the spare material she had on
! hand.
The mountain ranges lie in every d.
rection, those connecting the great vol
canic peaks running about northwest
and southeast. The principal volcanoes
near the district affected by the earth
quake are as follows :-Poas, S,S95 feet
high, fourteen miles to the northeast of
San Ramon Barba, $500 feet high,
fifteen miles to the northeast of Grecia;
Irazu, II, 800 feet high, eighteen miles
east of Heredia, and Turialba, about six
miles to the northeast of Irazu.
The town of Alajuela is situated
between Heredia and Grecia, and
| the mountain chains so connect the
! places that when the shocks of an earth
quake are experienced in one town a
repetition in the others is always looked
! for. Tie most disastrous results are
reported from Alaiuela, that being the
second largest town in the Republic, and
therefore having a larger number of

/ has been for some years, the western
terminus of the railroad, the other being
at Cartago, the ancient capital. All the
coffee sent from the interior toward
the coast has to pass through it, making
business brisk during the shipping
season. Besides this it has a respect
able trade IN sugar and cattle, the sur
rounding country being very fertile.
| The next IN Importance is Heredia,
which boasts Of several coffee
drying and cleaning establishments.
The other two towns are very
small, and only count their inhab-
itauts by the hundreds. To do serious
damage to n Central American town an
earthquake must be very violent, be-
cause the houses are built especially to
resist such shocks. One seldom sees
two story house in that country except
in the capital, where extra precautions
are taken to bind the frame of the
structure together so that the rocking
motion during the convnlsion will not
separate the joints. The walls of
house fifteen feet high are usually from
three to five feet thick and are built Of
adobe, O mixture of tenacious mud and
straw moulded into blocks. The roof is
covered with red tiles, each weighing not
less than three pounds. When an earth
quake is approaching the people keep
as much as possible in the open plazas,
so as to avoid the falling tiles when the
shake comes. They have become used
TO the grumblings " SO we'll that they
can tell with considerable degree of
correctness how violent the shock will
be.

Ten Thousand Negroes Without Re-
source

From Sheriff Curry, of Tensas parish,
who arrived in New Orleans IN quest
of rations, the following information
was obtained "Along the river front of
this parish, in a distance of one hun.
dred miles, seven breaks have already
occurred, and nearly the whole parish
is under water. lis population consists
of about twenty thousand negroes and
two thousand whites. Its annual yield
is about fifty thousand bales of cotton.
Fully ten thousand of their negroes are
entirely without means of subsistence,
and have had to rely so far upon the
charity of their neighbors, whose means
are inadequate, They throng the gin
houses and cabins, going about on RATS.
A large number are new comers, there
having been general exodus this win
ter from the hill country of Mississippi
to the richer cotton lands. The people
are all on the alert guarding the levees,
the principal one at Ships bayou being
considered in great danger from wall
of water twenty feet high pressing
against it. The services of $50 convicts
have been enlisted in this service. ]"
Sheriff Curry reports the condition of
Madison and Concordia parishes as
about identical with that of Tensas. He
succeeded in obtaining rations for / 900
men for fifteen days, and leaves for
home.

How Screws are Made.

The process of making a screw is very
The rough, large wire in
big coils is, by drawing through hole
smaller than itself, made the size needed.
Then it goes into machine that at one
moment cuts it proper length and
makes head on it. Then it is put into
sawdust and "rattled and thus bright
ened. Then the head is shaved smoothly
to the proper size and the nick put in
it at the same time. After "rsttling" :"
again in sawdust, the thread is cut by
another machine, and after another
rafting" and thorough drying, the
screws are assorted by hand (the fingers
of those w o do this move almost liter
~" : tning), crossed by weight
chipping.
