Theodore was poor lad. One day when be

the floor Uf the brokers' Office, which be was

wherein little boys had picked up small piece
of money, handed it to the great merchant or
rich banker and been Immediately taken into
partnership. So Theodore stepped up to the
door of the brokers' private room and said:
"Pleasc, sir, here's fve-cent piece | found
on the foor"
The broker looked at Theodore moment and
then said:
'You found that on my floor, did you And
you are hungry. aren't you?''

"a recent painful case of death caused by a
hypodermic injection of morphia," says the
London Lancet, directs attention afresh to the
dangers of resorting to this most perllous
mode of administering drugs designed to re-
lieve pain. The public shonld be warned
against the practice of employing remedies
hypodermically. So formidable a remedy
should on no account he used except under
medical advice, and when deemed necessary
it ought to be given by practitioners. We
have repeatedly urged the profession to dis
countenance the recourse to injections under
the skin, which is becoming general. 1t is a
opinion that surgical instrument makers
should refuse to sell the requisite apparatus
to lay persons, and that medical men should
forbid their use.'

An interesting murder trial, in which the
defence was plea of insanity, has been held
in Boston. The prisoner was Frank G. Pease,
who hsd killed his wife in fit of jealousy
1t was shown that ne had no just cause for
suspicion against her, and the question for the
jury to decide was whether he was sane al
the time of the deed. The evidence was that
be had been wild in his conduct; that for
several days he was without food that he
loved his wife devotedly; that nineteen of his
relatives had been crazy or idiotic, and that
his own eccentrieities were marked. On the
other hand, it was proved that he was drunk
when he slew his wife, and the prosecution
held that if he was delirious at all it was from
drink. The judge told the jurors that if Pease
was so insane from any other cause than rum
as to De unaware of right and wrong, they
ought to acquit him, that if his craziness at
the time was simply melted by intoxication,
they might still excuse him; but if the deed
was due to rum alone, he was as accountable
before the law as though perfectly sober A
compromise verdict Of murder in the second
degree was given.

Remarkable Types of Women.

The remarkable types of the Eihilist wo-
men are well known. Yer. Slssulitch, whose
DOT inaugurated terror, was the most modest
OF her sex. In the courtroom she blushed
when shes perceived any one staring st her.
Lady Figner, a charming lady and an accom-
plished singer, got her eight years ia the ST.
berian mines by sitting in the parlor and play
ing the piano for weary hours, trying to
drowu the noise made by the secret printing
press in the next room. Anna Lcbedeff. o
priests daughter, in the disguise of wife of
switchman, lived in watch-house on the
railroad, and vas found on box filed With
dynamite, chatting with the switchman So
ply Perovskaya, the daughter Of general
and senator, who declined the dignity OF maid
OF honor to the empress and entered the Mill
ist fraternity, dug the Moscow mine, and di-
reete5 -. late Cars assassination. Sophy
-Bardin, who Ssss welcomed as a shining star
in the literary honxSn, wrote few poems
which, though gems of-SSssian literature,
were reasonable, aud the sinSilg Of them a

Gen. George W. Pickett, whose divi-
sion of Virginians made the wonderful
assault upon Cemetery Hill at Gettys-
burg, left widow with no means of
support. Gen. Grant, who was Pickett's
classmate at West Point, secured the
widows appointment to clerkship in
the Quartermaster Generals office. 1t
is now reported that Secretary Lincoln
has directed her removal, ON the ground
that her late husband served in the
Confederate army. If the report be
true, then the ungenerous son of a gen.
erous father shoots with pop gun of

EXPERIMENTS WITH OIL AT SEA.--The
Calcutta liner Airlie arrived recently in
Dublin after stormy passage lasting
over 13l days. Capt. Foreman reports
that on February % storm of hurri-
cane force prevailed; it lasted four days
and when at its height Capt. Foreman
determined to try the effect of allaying
the sea with oil. For this purpose a
large number of bags were filled with
oil and having been perforated SO as to
allow the oil to escape gradually, they
were towed in the sea on the weather
side Of the vessel. This was continued
for forty eight hours and was entirely
successful. The waves, which had been
breaking constantly over the ship, grad
ually ceased, and soon moderated so
much that the crew were able to work
with safety on the deck, and the sea in
tho immediate vicinity of the vessel
became comparatively smooth Capt
Foreman is of the opinion that had it
not been for the use Of the oil the ship.
