The Night-Shooter.

In the AdirOndacks once came a re-
markable episode in the annals of the
|night-shooter, but which is true to a
word. We had padded barely 200
yards from where killed deer, when
we heard another one walking among
the grasses at the head of the lake. The
moss-covered log rustled through the
rushes, with the weird half-clrcle of
light spreading shOreward with each
sweep of the silent paddle, and again
the white outline of the deer seemed to
grow out of the gloom ahead. Splunge,
splashl it is walking toward us. Now
it stops! and in the full glare of the
headlight we see beautiful, fat doe,
her coat beginning to assume the blue
tint of tine winter covering. With
head outstretched, she gazeS earnestly
/, at the lantern, while we sit silently and
admiringly in the impenetrable gloom
enshrouding the dugout behind the
light. After satisfying her curiosity
she turns to feed, and the canoe steals
upon her. Now she is watching her
shadow, cast by the light, on the lily
pads and grassy water. Another quick
stroke with the paddle, and prod her
in the ribs with my gun. AT the first
punch she stood like a beautiful statue.
At the second-I would stroke her with
my hand, but fear she, waking from
her astonished trance, would kick over
our dugout in her terror-she gave one
great bound causing our log to oscillate
violently and showering us with colo
spr1v and thap xva hoard har hOundlnc

An Alleged Miracle.

An account from Lafayette, Indiana,
says that Agnes Walter, a young lady
residing in that city, was recently un-
able 10 move and was blind; now she
walks and can see. Eight years ago
she was seized with cerebrO-Spinal
meningitis, which left her lower limbs
paralyzed. She had gone to Oldens-
burg, Ind, to enter convent, and was
taken i'll the second day after she ar
rived. In few weeks she was taken
home, and for eight years she has been
constant sufferer. The best physi-
clans of the city have treated her and
pronounced her incurable DIR. Yount
has been her physician for three years.
She was in convulsiOns most of the
time, and these would continue as long
as two and three weeks. DR.. Yount
states that she presented a most terri
BILE appearance. For weeks at time
she had no nouriShment whatever. Re-
Gently young lady friend, Miss kins-
man, returned from Europe and brought
with her some water from the fountain
of Our Lady of Lourdes. This Miss
Walter has been applying and drinking.
A nine days season of prayer was be-
gun by herself and other members of
the church. This terminated when she
was removed in an unconscious condi-
tion to the church. She at length was
revived, took communion, and instant
ly she could see and walk unalded. She
believes that prayer did it. DIR. Yount
and others pronounce it a most marvel
lous case. When the doctor and re-
porters called, she walked across the
room to show that she was indeed cur
ed. Her case seems miraculous, and
there are many more besides herself
who are familiar with the case who at
tribute it to the power of prayer.

Reform In Prisons.

The Hon. Martin IL BOvee, OF Wis
cols,n, arrived In Cleveland recently on
a temporary visit. The gentleman is a
handsome man, apparently about 80 years
OF age, with military bearing. HIS
csreer Ms a prison reformer dates from
his connection with the Site Senate OF
Wisconsin. BJvee believes that the crim-
insl of to-day who goes to tie State
prison is irretrieyably ruined. ''All pen.
altles, said be, ''should contemplate the
reformation Of the CRIMINALS, and when
reformation Is impossible life Imprison-
mert must OF necessity be the conse-
quence. Society must protect itself.
Whenever any individual dIs.urbs the
peace of society he should be promptly
restricted OF his liberty. 1hls being done
the safety of society Is assured against
him, but this gives the State no authority
to bebase him nor to blot out his manhood,
but the STATE should surround him with
the best moral influences at her comma nd
and save him to the State and his family
il possible" Bovee believes in reform
schools and State prIsoIs, but they must
be conducted on diff jrent principle from
that now in force. He attacks the jail
system of this country and advocates in its
stead employment houses, and says en-
forced ldleness is pern;clous In Its effects
aud that men waiting trial had better,
even if Innocent, have employment.
Bovee also protests against capital punish
ment as barbsrous law and argues that
the States OF Name, Rhode island, Wis
cODsin and Michigan, which had repealed
that law. are just as well protected with
out the penalty as they had been with it.
He has given the subject OF crime and its
punishmeats greater consideration than
any other individual In the Unlten States,
and has made public canvass of nearly
half the States 10 the Union, leaving his
impress upon the penal codes of nearly
every Safe he has vlsite'. He will de-
liver pubic addresses in eight Southern
S;aies this winter 10 open up the question
Of prison reform and industrial schools for
boys IN the South.

EmbaIming Taught,

a "School of embalming" is in pro-
gresS in Detroit, and, after several re-
fusals, a reporter gained an interview
with Prof. Renouard and asked him
about the processhe is to teach. The
professor is a man of medium height,
heavy build, little over 40 years of
age, and las a marked French accent.
He began by referring to the popular
prejudice against embalming, and said
that he didn't wonder that the old
methods excited such prejudice. One
great advantage of embalming is, that
is destroys all germs of disease, SO that
it is impossible for the living to become
affected from the remains of those who
have died of contagious maladieS. This
is not the case with bodies placed in an
ice box. Embalming prevents decay,
and there is none of that evolution of
gases which no ground can wholly alb
sorb, especially the cemeteries of large
cities. The features of the dead can also
be preserved for great length of time,
and repeated tests have shown that
embalming, to large extent, restores
the features when through death by
NlOlCuCC VI uCidl VI hdklO1io hlAlNto Sutf
have ceased to be life-like."
"How about the process itself"
sit is a very brief one. The old
Egyptian process occupied 20 days,
while now it occupies scarcely an hour
and half. Nor dues the present pro-
cess necessitate removal of the cloth
ing of the deceased. In order to use
the ice box as is commonly done, it is
demanded that the body be compara-
lively unclothed up to almost the last
hour before the funeral but in embalm-
ing, the friends may, if they wish, full
ly clothe it Immediately after death
and before calling in the embalmer.
That this is so, is evident from the fact
that the process Is in the main similar
to that In which morphine and other
medicines are injected beneath the skin
of the living. By the passing of a
hypodermic tube into one of the con-
venient arteries, an antiseptic fluid
flows into the arterial system and pre-
vents those changes which so greatly
add to the frightfulneSs of death. \
body thus simply and quickly prepared
will continue as at the time of death ,Or
even In better condition, for SIX months.
Or, if thought best, it may be covered
with slight but imperviOus fluid pre-
paratiOn which will resist all agencies
of destruction for ten years or more.
In this length of time the body will be-
come greatly shrunken, hard as wood
and In color like mahogany, but moth
ing more. In fact L have some such
bodies in my rooms at Rochester, which
l prepared in Colorado ten or more
years ago, and which was permitted
to exhume and take East as speci-
MEMS"
Pro. Renouard has ten pupils in his
Detroit class. He was formerly drug
dist, but went into the embalming
business thirteen years ago, and since
then has instructed hundreds of under
takers.

The Bad Boy Away From Home,

''Oh, people are not all as good as
you and L are" said the groceryman,
as he watched the boy making sneak
ON a bunch of grapes. ''But did you
go to the circus?"
''Circus? Well, / should assimilate
And it is wonder am not there yet.
But, whatever you do, don't ask pa if
he was at the circus, cause he will kill
you. You see pa and drove up to the
race-track, where the circus was, in the
evening, and after the circus was out
we waited to see the men take the tents
down, and after they had gone we
started to drive home. 1t was darker
than squaw's pocket, and l drove out
on tine race-track, and the old horse
used to be racer and he pricked up
his ears. Pa took the lines and said he
would drive, cause we were out pretty
late and ma would be nervous. 1 told
pa didn't believe he was ON the right
road, but he said he guessed nobody
could fool him about the road to town,
and bless me if he didn't drive around
that track about eight times. Every
time we passed the grand-stand, which
pa couldn't see ON account of his eyes,
1 laffed; but thought If he knew the
road so confounded well L could ride as
long as he could.
"After we had rode around the track
about eight miles, and / was getting
sleepy, 1 mildly suggested that we had
better stop at house and inquire the
way to town, and pa got mad and ask
ed me if l took him for a fool. Then
he drove around couple of times more,
and the man that keeps the track he
came out with lantern and said, Hell
lol' Pa stopped and asked him what
he wanted, and he said, %, nothin', ,
and pa drove ON and told him to mind
his business. We went around the
track again, and when we got to the
same place the man was there, and
guess pa thought it was time to inquire
the way, SO he pulled up and asked the
man what he was doing there, and the
man said he was minding his own busi-
ness. Pa asked him if we were on the
right road to town, and the man said if
We wasn't in hurry he would like to
have us drive on the track all night, as
it was little heavy, and he wanted to
get it in condition to speed the colts
the next day, hut if We had to go We
could drive out at the gate and take
the first left.hand road.
''Well, pa was mad, and he wanted
to know why didn't tell him we were
on the track, but L told him he seemed
to know it all, and it was dangerous to
advise a man who knew 1t all. He
didn't speak all the way to town, but,
when L put out the horse, he said,
'Hennery, if this thing gets out your
pa will have the reputation of being
drunk. If you tell of it you are no
friend of mine.' So shall not say any
thing about it, cause it is a bad boy
who will go back on his pa

Female Infants,

The Chinese custom of killing the
female infants of family is, of course,
admirably adapted to keep down ex-
penses and Obviate inconvenience, but
as public opinion in England could not
be reconcied to SO simple remedy,
other channels of relief have to be
sought In that country. In the case of
persons of high position, who groan
under the inhiction of six or seven
daughters, the Queen has in more than
one case evinced her royal sympathy by
selecting from such quiverfuls her
maids of honor; but maids of honor are
limited in number, and are generally
endowed with a barnacle like tenacity
of life and office. Under these circum.
stances the owners of "We are seven''
turn to the sister-hoOds, which promise
to be to Protestant young ladies the re.
lief valve that converts have long beer
to Roman Catholics. There is scarce
ly family of rank now which has not
a member among them. The daughter
OF an Earl is managing child's hOspi
tai in a provincial town as Sister Some

Agii,ult irL College. Further TO the
south is the home of John Clay, the
only surviving son of the founder of
Ashland, who lives the quiet life OF a
farmer on some two hundred acres of
the old homestead. Beyond Ashland is
the home OF the late Thomas Clay, AZ
other son, and it is still in possession of
his family; but the Ashland whose aged
trees were planted and whose mansion
was planned and fashioned by Clay him
