 The other day we noticed the invention of an electrical apparatus for killing animals The apparatus and the method of using it is thus described: An ordinary stall has an iron plate fastened upon it's floor large enough for horse or bullock to stand upon. With this plate is connected the negative pole of an electric condenser, formed of alter mate layers of tin-foil and tissue paper soaked in parafine. This condenser is charged from an ordinary coil to it's full capacity of a hun dred '.micro- -farads, and is to be discharged at an electromotive force of 15, 900 ''volts,'' which produces one-inch spark. The ami nal to be despatched has the top of it's head and also it's feet and legs wetted with salt water. It is then led into the stall with it's hoofs resting on the iron plate. The brae.s knob which makes the positive hole, and has an insulating handle. is then applied 70 the forehead of the animal, which fal.ls down the moment the contac,t is effect

Mir. Robert P. Porter writes from the Eng fish manufacturing city of Bradford that the coffee houses there vie successfully with the gin shops in lavish display of gilt letters, glaring lights, stained glass and polished brass. and that frank publican said to him "The coffee 'ouses is playing the - with our trade, sir" One striking result of the coffee house work is apparent in the fact that the number of arrests for drunkenness in Bradford was 1,053 in 1875, but had fallen to 346 in 1881.

The Thigh license" system appears to work well in Nebraska. Senator Wanderson says
 It is a great blessing to every city and town in contrast with the flood of little petty groggeries which give but little revenue and do harm. Our license fee for each bar-roona OF saloon is $1 1000 in place like Omaha. In cities it is $1 ,000 for each ifceuse, and in villages $500.

"More Sinned Against than Sinning.' .

From the Rome Daily Bulletin we
have the following sad and pitiful ac-
count of recent attempt at suicide in
that place:
Wednesday night one of the women
known as the s.Red Light Girls" was ar
rested for being drunk and disorderly
and lodged in one of the cells in the city
hall building. It. fortunately for the
Brown at half-past ten that night passed
around the cells, and in looking into
them discovered woman hanging, ap-
parently dead. The key was promptly
procured and the woman cut down, and
her body fell to the floor, to all appear
ances lifeless. It seems she, after sober
ing up little, discovered her condition
ana where she was, and concluded to end
her miserable life by suicide. She took
one of her stockings, very fine one, and
pink silk garter, and with these made a
strong cord, and after fastening one end
to the ceiling of the cell, and the other
formed into moose around her neck, all
was ready to start on long journey.
She then threw her weight on the cord,
and was in fair way to take her own
life. She certainly would have been
dead before Policeman Brown discovered
her if she had not had the weight all on
the back of her neck, and as it was she
escaped suicides fate by the narrowest
chance. A few years ago some foul
wretch, called man, possibly under the
pretension of marriage ,seduced this then
but an innocent girl from virtues sacred
walks, and, demon that he was, and hell
deserving as he is, abandoned her, and
she, homeless, friendless, shameless ani
alone, sells her soul to keep her bod,
alive, and at last remorse and quick
ened conscience prompts her to haster
the end. In pity let us draw the curtain
over her sin-"more sinned against thar
