4 WOman's Ingenuity.

Elizabeth Lloyd King, alias Kate Stoddard, who is well known as the mnrderess of Charles Goodrich, brother of the Hon. W. W. Goodrich, and is now confined in the Auburn State con- vict asylum. being denied the use of writing material, recently invented 8 new way of composing a letter. She was allowed books and magazines a Bible and Testament, and although not permitted to have scissors. had needle and some thread. Taking the fyleaf of 8 book she stitched upon it single letters, and bits of words that wonld compose sentences, and very neatly made up out of fragments of print the following letter:
 l MIR. PAvEY, COUNSELOR AT LAW: S1n-Please excuse this print and paper, for have not been allowed to use my writing mate rials since last July. would like to consult YOU as soon as can Will you please call here? Respectfully, ELIZABETH LLOYD KING.
 Auburn State Convict Aeylum, New York EDITOR OF THE SYRACUSE STANDARD: S1R-Win you please oblige me by giving to Mir. Counselor Pavey the above note? I do not know where to direct it. Please excuse this print and paper, for have not been allowed to use any writing materials since last July. Re- spectfully, ELIZABETH LLOYD KING.
 Auburn State Convict Asylum, N. Y.
 The following address was stitched upon another bit of paper, which was afterward sewed on the reverse side of the card:
 MT. D. c. Pavey Editor of the Syracuse Standard. Standard office, Syracuse, New York.
 It must have required many weeks to have pieced out the letter. The capi- tals were used only in proper places, and great care was taken as to punctua- tion. The whole of the first letter was in brevier type, and most of the sec ond, and the words were nearly all made up of single letters pricked out of printed page, evidently with needle, and then sewed on with white thread. The word King seems to have been cut out of Bible printed in agate. The stitches were taken with such care as not to tear the paper or to leave upturned edges that would be ap to cause any part to be torn off in handling. The edges of the paper were neatly hemmed. The letter was delivered to visitor to mail, but it was taken up by an asylum physician, who has preserved it as 8 curiosity.

Snake Stories,

A farmer in Devonshire once told
me that he caught viper, partially
disabling it by blow from stout
stick, and with the assistance of his
men bound it, still living, in the
fork Of q tree. Gle was kind
hearted and fairly intelligent man,
who would not tolerated any ill
treatment Of horse or dog-far less
have been guilty of such thing
himself-but he saw no cruelty in
thus Furnishing the poor reptile }
There they left it, striking with its
fangs on all sides its rage and agony.
When they returned next day the
viper had escaped, but the limb of
the tree was dry and dead as though
blasted with lightning. I was young
and hopeful at the time l heard this
tale, and unwise enough to do all in
my power to dissuade the narrator
from the belief he held, or, at any
rate to try to convince him that he
wrongly connected cause and effect
in the case: but, as he said, he
he "see'd it himself" and he went
down to the grave in that faith.
That he honestly believed it there
could be no doubt, for he had not
enough poetry in him to invent such
romance. 1t reminds one of the
Yankee who told how he had killed
snake with a hoe, the handle of
which the varmint" had bit several
times before receiving its coup de
grace. You mayn't believe it,
Squire" said he shut, jest as trew
as you stand theer, in less than three
minutes that hoe-handle was swelled
up as big as my leg" Have you
ever heard Of the hoop-snake ? They
abound, according to several ac-
counts l have been favored with,
in India and Australia, and derive
their names from the popularity of
their mode of progression; taking
their tails in their mouths they bowl
along like hoop. Fact, so an old
Indian officer informed me, who
had often seen the native

bamboo sticks Che was fearfully cir

or along the roads. What an acqui-
sition couple of these would be to
our Geological Gardens, in an in
closure of their own, with Sepoy
or two to run round after them with
bamboos at stated hours. The fol-
lowing nice little annecdote was
cleaned from an English colonial
newspaper, where it was published
as an actual occurrence in the i'm
mediate neighhorhood during the
week, with much local and collateral
detail. A boa constructor woke up
hungry from three months nap
and caught a RABBIT, which he bolted
in the usual way. This did not sat
isfy the cravings of his capacious
stomach, 30 he went atield in search
of further victuals and presently
came to fence, which he essayed
to get through. But the lump caused
by the defunct though undigested
bunny stopped him when his head
and few feet only Of his body had
passed between the rails: and lying
in this attitude. he caught and swal-
lowed another rabbit which had in

was the state of affairs? He could

 The General Term of the Supreme Court of New York has decided that a woman may battery. Judge Brady wrote the opinion and Judge Daniels concurred in it. Presiding Judge Noah Davis concurred in the senti- mental grounds of the opinion, but dissented from the construction of the law expressed in it. Judge Brady holds that, by the act of 1860 relating to the rights of married women, the Legislature intended to, and did, change the common law rule that wife could not sue her husband. He says; "To allow the right (to sue) in an action of this character, in accordance with the language of the stat ute, would be to promote greater harmony, by enlarging- the rights of married women and increasing the obligations of husbands, by affording greater protectionto the former, and by enforcing greater restraint upon the latter in the indulgence of their evil passions. the policy of the law. It is in harmony with it, and calculated to preserve peace and, in great measure, prevent barbarous acts, acts of cruelty, regarded by mankind as inexcus- able, contemptible, detestable. It is neither too early nor too late to promulgate the doc Urine that if husband commits an assault and battery upon his wife he may be held re- sponsible civilly and criminally for the act, which is not only committed in violation of the laws of God and man, but in direct an- tagonism to the contract of marriage, its ob- legations, duties, responsibilities, and the very basis on which it rests. The rules of the common law on this subject have been dispelled, routed, and justly so, by the acts of 1860 and 1862. They are things of the past which have succumbed to more liberal and just views, like many other doctrines of the common law which could not stand the scrutiny and analysis of modern ciTiliza- fio,,

HECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal S Courier:
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-fve thousand 5,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward C.. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for its excellence and because it contained higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cuit) than either the "RoyaI'' or the other cream tartar baking powders winch he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder 8 submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.

Massachusetts has no reason to be proud of Ia citizen" of that State who has written letter ito the Massachusetts members of Congress in favor of the morality and law fulness of plural marriages and published it. It makes pamphlet of seventy-six pages. The author defends polygamy as permitted by the law of God and of nature, and con- tends that, as. praeticed by the Mormons, it is protected from interference by the consti- tutional guaranty of religious freedom. In support of his former position he cites the Rev. Dr. Madam, Lord Bolingbroke, the Cal cutta missionary conference, Rev. D. O. Allen, American missionary, Baptist minister, an unnamed doctor of medicine and others. He appeals to the Massachusetts members to use their efforts to repeal the section of the Revised Statutes which makes polygamy unlawful.
