Miss KeIIOgg's Intereat in B Kew Haven
 Singer.


 A few years ago at favorite seaside resort the voice and singing of young girl at tracted much attention. A lady recognizing her talents and enthusiastic desire to become a true artist volunteered her an introduction to her friend, the great American prima donna Clara Louisa Kellogg, which was eag- erly accepted Miss Kellogg's poetical na- ture, which has enabled her to personate those heroines of the grand opera, the Mar earitas Lucias, Carmens and Aidas, is happily blended with sound practical sense. By her kind, judicious advice the young girl was directed to the proper instructors and was invited to call and re- port progress from time to time. The result of those years of study has been made manifest by the success of the concerts given by that young girl, Miss Fannie Howe, of our city, now matured into an ar tist earnest and true, as well as concientious, painstaking teacher of the voice. Miss Kel- logg's interest in the progress of the art among us is shown by her readiness to give her time and strength, greater favor than the public can realize from prima donna to help her ambitious young countrywoman. Her own method is so near perfection that it has enabled her to keep her own voice fresh as ever after long and arduous career.

The impaling of persons sentenced
to death for great crimes has been
practiced in the East for many cen

Saint Edme, in his Dictjondlre de Ia
PenaJite, describes the manner in
which this punishment is inflicted as
follows:
"The unfortunate man whoi TO SUI
fer death by implement is laid nat
upon the ground, face downward. HIS
hands are tied on his back, and one OF
] a % or 70 uitG down
| ~. his l,gcls.sse es,,se tno victim caunofl
hove. "A second assistant holds the
culprit's head firmly to the ground, and
third assistant seizes his legs which
he holds so that he cannot move them.
The executioner now approaches with
the instrument Of death, long stake
or pole, which he pushes into the body
from behind. The pole tapers almost
to a point, but is rounded off some
what at the end, so that it will not
penetrate the entrails all at once. The
eNecutioner pushes this pole into the
flesh as far as he can with his hands.
whereupon fourth assistant drives it
still further with a mallet Now the
pole, which has penetrated deeply into
the body Of the doomed man, is set up
right in the ground, and the victim is
LETT to die upon it. The weight of the
body presses it further down upon the
stake every moment, and the point
finally protrudes from the breast or
side of the culprit. Some of those
upon whom this horrible punishment
has been inflicted died quickly, and
their suffering was soon over, but 9th
ers are said to have suffered untold
agony for hours, and even days. before
death put an end to their torments."
implement, horrible as it is, is not
the cruelest punishment inflicted in
Oriental countries.

Getting Water in the Desert.

The supply OF water always formed
a principal question. and often pre-
ponderant one, during the marches of
the French troops in Algeria and
Tunis. Rivers having a permanent
supply of water are very rare in those
countries, but wadies-beds of torrents,
generally dry, but full after shower
are numerous. The most ordinary
supplies of water were sedirs, or
puddles of rain-water held in natural
basins of clay or stone, near which the
camps were pitched whenever they
were accessible. They are to be found
in the beds Of wadies, and sometimes
in slight depressions of the plain,
where they are frequently of consider
able extent. When full they contain,
Notwithstanding they are 50 shallow,
prodigious quantities of water, which
is, however, exposed to an enormous
evaporation, so that it does not last
long. These natural reservoirs have
been covered with sand in many places,
where a permeable bed several feet
high has been formed with a dry sur
face ipOnding with the general
level of the surrounding land. 1t is
only necessary to dig hole. and wait
little while, for the water to rise to
certain level, forming kind Of ex-
temporaneous well, which the Arabs
call an oglat. These wells contain but
little water, and are soon dried up
when drawn from, but will become
filled again in the course of few
hours. These resources, pre- .arous at
the best. are often wanting but the
country is full of ruins, attesting the
former existence of alarge population,
and among them are many useful
structures, including well-made els
terms still almost entire, and very deep.
Water is got from them by going down
steps to the surface, or by means of a
device call the guerber. which is in
general use This is a Ieathefn bottle,

of the last Senate Republicans and 6
DemOcrats-hOld over. Eight are to be

hudson county is larger than in the last
Presidential canvass, but the vote poIed
thus tar to-day has been light, even for an
OIL year. The polling places are crowded
with the workers of both parties, and this

mined to get out full vote. There is
much scratching of the ballots for State

WASHINGTON, Nov. William II,
Smyth. who was recently appointed Post
master at Atlanta, Ga, but who had not
received his commission, has written a
letter To the Postmaster General resign
ing that position. Inspector Camp will
retain charge of the post office.
In speaking ON the subject the COESti
tuition SAYS: 1.-The Atlanta Office is one
of considerable Importance, handling
more than 100000 per month. The
business last week amounted to $4,000, OF
nearly $4,000 per day. For handling
this vast sum the government requires a
bond Of $4,000. Postmaster COnley was
required to give bond Of $4,000, but
when he went out the amount was increased
% $4,000. The bOndsmen are required TO qual
ifv to double that amount. While this may
seem large bond for SO small salary, 1t Is
really less than half what the Treasurer OF
Georgia gives. Treasurer Speer gives bond
of S2JO.lul and has a salary of only $1,000 a
year. The Treasurer handles a vast amount
OF money and securities far in excess OF the
amount OF the bond. The salary of the Post
master at Atlanta Is $500. and, as was stated,
his bond Is tiNei at $4,000. In the case of the
Postmaster the duties are more arduous and
the risks 10y subordinateS are greater than in
the case with the Treasurer. Mr.. Myler says
that the Atlanta Office is the most important
of any in a city of similar size with Atlanta.
For he last four weeks the business has aver
aged SiS.000 per Week. The sale of stamps is
over $500 Der daE.ff
