Those who find fault with divorce as it Is practised in this State have good text in Q case now pending, one party to which has been in the State prison at Wathersfeld for three years past. The complaint alleges as grounds for divorce, that the respondent de- serted her three years ago, and the desertion has continued to the present time, that for five years he failed to live with her and that for more than seven years nothing WAS known of his whereabouts. The petitioner also asks for the custody of her child, six years old This is @ fine mixture.

SCROFULA.

 A remedy that can destroy the germs of ecrofula, and when once settled has the pow CT to root it out, must be appreciated by those afflicted. The remarkable cures of young children and the more wonderful cures of those of middle age and late in life, as il- lustrated by.our printed testimonials, prove Hoops SARsAPARILLA to be reliable rem edy, containing remedial agents which do the blood.

Those who think that the negroes at the South can be turned into good and useful citizens by education in the public schools will not be pleased with the conclusions of 8 correspondent of the Independent, who has studied the question on the spot. While avowing himself friend of the colored man, and sincerely desirous of advancing his well fare, this writer declares his experience to be that the ordinary school education does the average negro more harm than good. It gives him distaste for manual labor, with out fitting him for any other kind of value producing work, and there are few men whose own observation will not confirm this statement Industrial training is what the southern negro needs, not book-learning.

Some of the queer German investigators have discovered that ordinary badness in the young is an iHoculable disease. The hairs which had fallen from the heads of a patient suffering from this malady were mixed with 7aseline and rubbed upon the skins of Guin- ca pigs srd rabbits. Tho animals thus treat ed became bald, that is, lost their hair in the regions of the body where 1t had been ap- piled This condition began to be manifest about three weeks after the inunetion had been made, and the loss of hair was attended with scaly condition of the skin. Hairs taken from these animals and rubbed into other healthy animals produced like results. Two examples Of the disease were exhibited before the Berlin Medical society. Both the patients were young and exceptionally robust men, who for years had suffered from gradu- al and slowly increasing badness, attended with itching and a scaly condition of the scalp. Inoculation of the hairs from the heads of these patients upon the skins of Guinea pigs, rabbits and white mics had been sufficient to cause falling ont of the hair in these animals.

ONE HOPE GONE.
Roger Amero's Motion for Habeas Cor.
pus Denied.

HALIFAX, N. H., July IA.
Much interest was felt here as to the re-
suit of the application for writ of habeas
corpus by Roger Amero of Dgby, n S.,
who is charged with the murder of Mrs Eta
G. Carlton of WATERFOWL, Mass, on March
IL last. The court room was well filled at
time announced for the decision. The su-
preme court, consisting of Chief Justice Nc
Donald and Judges Wea,herbee, Rigby and
Thompson, delivered judgment, and refused
to discharge Amero. The chief justice. who
delivered the judgment of the court, decided
that the dispositions taken in the United
States were duly authenticated under the law
of Nova Scotia, and were properly received.
The alleged defects in the warrant in omit
ting to state that the United States "meant
the United States of America, and emitting
any other description of the crime than that
Of MURDER" he dealt with and cited author
tiles to show that even if it was defective,
since fresh warrant could have been issued
by Judge Savary the court would not dis
charge the prisoner upon that ground. He
held that even if the court, upon such an ap-
plication, could review the evidence, there
was abundant evidences of guilt. Judge
Rigby, in soncurring, cited authorities upon
the question of the warrant. and he, with
Judge Weatherbee and Judge Thompson,
thought the evidence of guilt sufficient
There is no appeal from this decision to the
supreme court of Canada, it being expressly
taken away in extradition cases. Detective
wiggin, of Wiggin and Woods agency OF
Boston, is here awaiting the requisite order
from the minister of justice for Amero's re-
moval to Boston.

LABOR TROUBLES.
The Flint Glass Workers Vote to Stop
Work for Six Weeks.

SANDWICH, Mass, July Is.
At recent meeting of the American Flint
Glass Workers Union of America and Can
ada it was voted to shut down work in their
line for six weeks. People here, especially
officials of the Boston and Sandwich Glass
Co., are somewhat agitated over this decision
The branch league numbers about 65 and is
Under the jurisdiction of the grand lodge.
The pots have been filed at the factory with
the expectation of the workmen returning at
the close of the vacation of two weeks.
Should they not the loss to the company will
be greatly felt. The local lodge held a meet
ing last night and as the workings are secret
no one knows the final result, but it is rum
ored throughout the town that the memt ers
had voted not to work until six weeks have
expired. The company have given notice AS
to the start and if the worst comes the fac
tory will probably shut down indefinitely,
thereby throwing about 800 hands who are
not members Of the league out of employ
ment. 1t is generally supposed that those
who voted to work will resume their duties,
but the result will be looked forward to by
the union ard directors of the Boston and
Sandwich Glass Company.

Desails Of the Destrucsion Caused b. the
Missouri Tornado.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. July IA.
Last evenings storm seems 10 have devel-
oped tornado centres at several points in the
State. The town of Maiden, in Dunklin
county, was struck and . portion OF 1t
wrecked. In this city q number of buildings
were destroyed and many others badly dam
aged. Two steamers and several barges
were blown across the river and beached on
the other shore. One barge was sunk.
Freight warehouses in East ST. Louis were
partially unroofed and the Short Line depot
at Belleville shared the same fate.
The threatening appearance of the clouds
causes general alarm. So far as observed,
very few people were injured in this vicinity.
From all quarters there are reports OF extern
sive destruction of farm property, the dam
age to growing crops being general, and
grain cut in the harvest field being in manv
places destroyed. Telegraph wires were
blown down on south and north lines, and
the prospect is that the storm will be found
to have been one of the most destructive
of the season.
dispatch from St. Joseph, Mo. says: A
terrific tornado passed over this region this
afternoon, doing great deal OF damage. The
first town in the storm was Hamburg. The
tornado struck there about IL o'clock. and
did considerable damage. The South Meth
OulSt cHuTCtl, q uIiCA was WIN W
atoms, and number of frame houses were
wrecked. The front walls of several BUSH
ness houses fell out in the etreets, and sew
eral fire walls were blown off. Fruit trees
suffered great damage, and crops generally
are badly injured. The tornado struck West
boro, in Atchison county, about 80 o'clock
and completely demolished eigh: or ten
houses and badly damaged many buildings
IN town and the surrounding country. One
child was killed whose name is not learned.
Stanberry, Mo-. was struck about l o'clock.
The main tour of the Normal School and the
cupola of the Baptist church were blown of.
The Catholic, Presbyterian and Christian
churches were blown from their foundations.
and the Catholic church is a complete wreck.
Several business houses and dwellings were
damaged. Burlington junction was visited
at one o'clock by the same storm. and it took
but few minutes to make a wreck Of the
town. 1t is said that not a house escaped
injury. The main street presented scene
of destruction, being filed with the debris
of demolished buildings. The fronts of sew
eral business blocks were blown in, and the
walls carried away. 1t is impossible to get
at the loss at that place at this hour. The
people are said to be in need of help. AT
Maryville, Mo-, the storm is said to have
been very severe, and it is reported that 81
houses were blown down. The wires are
blown down between here and there, and
nothing definite has yet been received.
For time the clouds looked threatening
here, and the wind blew a heavy gale, but no
extensive damage is reported. The storm
passed over this place at O'Clock, but divid.
ed north of the city, part going east and the
other portion west, else it might have done
much destruction. The course of the lorna
no was from north to south.
