found one of these bleached spOnges.
He asked the mother where she got it,
and the reply was that it was . great
bargain and had been picked up ut a s.
cent counter. That was enough to ex-
plain the whole matter. If you will
take the trouble TO smell of one of these
cheap sponges, you will find that there
is about it an odorof chloride Of lime.
The chloride of lime is used to disinfect
them. They need disinfection, because
they have been used in hospitals for
washing out wounds and in other ways
imaginable, and then thrown away, per-

to economical persons who wish to get

A Flirt's Punishment.

. "A sad. sequel to love affair has just
been brought to light in Oakland, Ala
media county. A Miss Smith was en-
ployed as clerk in one of the stores of
San Francisco. She was accused of be-
ing heartless flirt by those whom she
had made drink the bitter drug of dis
appointment, and no sooner had she
succeeded in bringing a lover to her
feet than she would be off again in
quest Of new victories. She was always
fortunate enough to have reserve on
hand, and never felt the need of that
pet SO much sought after by less fortu-
nate women-a man. Finally she met
her affinity, or thought she had.
= A young lieutenant from Vallejo was
caught in her net and she thought the
prize worth keeping. In due time the
marriage ceremony was to be perform
ed, and the bride had selected 3 her
trousseau and informed her family of
the prospective son soon to be admitted
within the circle.
One day Miss Smith was absent from
home, q lady friend called. and picking
up Miss Smiths album asked her moth
or how she became acquainted with
Mr.. Brown. Mrs. Smith replied that it
was not Mr.. Browns photograph which
she was looking at, but Lieut. Blanks
of Vallejo, and that he was engaged to
be married soon to her daughter.
Engaged to be married to your
daughter! Why, that is impossible" ex-
claimed the lady visitor, che is my
brother-in-lawr'
Bring your sister, and if she recog-
nizes that picture as her husband will
believe what you say, and not before.'' ,
replied Mrs. Smith. &2 s@
The lady brought her sister to the
house Immediately, and, opening the
album, asked her whose picture that
was. when the reply came, '''Why, it is
Harry, my husband '''.''1 It, 80
Z He was not nor ever has been an
officer of the navy, and had borrowed
the uniform of lieutenant in which to
have his photograph taken to carry out
the deception being practiced on Miss
Smith. !,
When Mrs. Smith was convinced Of
the truth Of the matter she gave way to
grief; but soon dignation gained the
mastery, and she insisted upon the
ladies accompanying her to Oakland,
where her daughter was, that she might
be made acquainted with the facts. .
Crossing the bay the three ladies
found Miss Smith in the company of
her affianced. "a !,
The mother, white with anger, said:
''Hattie, do you know who the scoun-

a Turk;,h Slave r.rkst,

In Constantinople the slave trade has
OF late encountered no further checks
than such as the increasing scarcity Of
Circassians, Russia having to . great
extent shut of the sources of supply,
and general poverty of the Turks at.

An English lady, writes correspond
ent of the Daily Ne,Os, was recently ta-
ken by black driver, who had learnt
that she was curious in the matter, to a
place at Stamboul, into which she walk
ed without the slightest difficulty, cab
by with his smattering Of French acting
as interpreter through a grating in the
door. When she entered the sale room,
large, barely-furnished and very light
apartment, the mistress of the establish
ment conducted her to a diyan. and slaves
instantly fetched sweets and coffee. No
astonishment was betrayed at the in
trusiOn of q Giaur woman on such q
scene. A number of white girls, of ages
varying from twelve to eighteen, were
then led up to her one after the other,

fore the sofa till signed to yield her po-
siti0n to her next fellow. They are de-,
scribed as for. the most part coarse,
clumsy and heavy, with cowcd, sullen
faces, and muddy, yellow compilations.
Their dress consisted of gauze cap
and q loose frock. short sleeves, and
reaching to the ankles, which was fast
ened down the front with strings.
Declaring that her husband desired
to present m otlalik to . pasha, the Wis
itOr asked to see some prettler maidens,
but was told there were none on hand,
though q selection would shortly arrive,
when she certainly could be suited.
Two Turkish women were during: this
time choosing slaves. No sort Of con-
sideration was paid to, the feelings Of
the poor girls. Under examination they
united their single garment, according
to the requirements Of the purchaser,
or threw it off entirely if so wished.
Their teeth were looked ut and hair let
down, their persons punched and pulled
about. The buyers, wanting sound,
useful articles, tested their strength and
searched for blemishes in the same un-
concerned manner as is done at horse
fair. No doubt they did not intend to
be cruel, but objected to getting worth
less slaves. and probably did not waste
thought on the pain their unceremon-
ious proceedings must have inflicted. f.
As for the girls, their attitude was in
variably that of absolute, uncomplain-
ing submission. They stood with down.
cast eyes and dropping limbs, simply
doing what they were ordered, and new
er losing for q moment their look of
stupid, hopeless indifference. 1t: was
their fate to be- enslaved, weeping and
struggling would have been in vain, and
they had apparently grown SO harden-
ed to the chain that the English lady
did not detect tear, sigh, or even q
blush.

Franklin pieroe's First Case.
How the Young Lawyer Won Case Against 4


1ao" tue AouIe Lawyer w ON Oas0 Against tno
Facts.
The first step made by President
Franklin Pierce toward distinction is
thus related: One man had stabbed an
other in an aff'ray, the knife entering
the left side, below the eleventh rib, and
in consequence the injured man had
died. The murderer was to be tried,
and some tyro could avail himself of
the opportunity to defend the doomed
man. The task fell to young Pierce, just
then entering the profession of law.
The case was so clear that most lawyers
OF even more experience would have
been content with a moving appeal to
the jury. Not SO the embryo executive.
who set about in good earnest, despite
all evidence, to prove the man innocent.
First, he adroitly managed to have the
trial postponed three months. He then
went to the Office of a physician, and
asked him if he would take a student.
intimating his desire to pursue course
of study in physiology. The practitioner
started at the proposition, but responded
in the affirmative, and Pierce began to
study, and he persevered for the in
tervening three months, taking care to
make himself thoroughly conversant
with the human frame, and charging
his memory with all technicalities so
that he had every term ut his tongues >
end. The trial commenced in the usual
form. Three surgeons were sworn, who
testified that the man thus pounded
must have died of the wounds inflicted.
At length Pierce was permitted to cross
examine the surgeons. He demanded
what tissues and membranes the knife
must have passed. The surgeons, who
had not supposed it incumbent upon
them to ''study up,'' could not explain;
they were, of course, positive that the
victim was murdered and that the
prisoner ought to be punished; but un-
der the close questioning of Pierce they
halted and blundered. This prepared q
way for the defense to make an effective
plea. He cautioned the jury against be-
ing swayed by men so ignorant that
they could not even tell the names Of
certain tissues, and thence cunningly
argued that the victim did not die of
the wound, and that the prisoner was
not therefore, guilty of murder. Thus
he won upon the jury, and to the
amazement of all the guilty man was
acquitted.-Syracuse Journal.

= Judge Morris Marks and his friends
are said to be in high state Of citation
because he ran ahead of Mr.. Demas abont
500 votes IN the recent triangular Con-
gressional contest in the Second District.
Considering the fact that Mr. Ellis, the
Democratic nominee, polled more votes
than Messrs. Marks and Demas together,
it seems strange that one of the defeated
Republicans should be able to extract
sufficient consolation from the result to
furnish ground for absolute rejoicing
We always did regard the ridiculous
contest between the rival Republican
aspirants in the Second District rs Il
farccal fight, tho real purpose of which
was to bolster up somebody's claim to
consideration in the distriliution of fed
eral patronage; and the outcome has
confirmed this estimate of the matter.
We very much doubt, however, that the
tree will yield the frnit that its propoga-
tor anticipated.
