Murderer.

SALEM, N. j., September 5,-lloward
Sullivan, II negro driver for Salem
farmer, has been traced as the murderer
OF Miss Ella Watson some weeks ago, by
means of knife with two hicks In the
blade. He sold the knife two days aftei
the murder to little boy, and the hicks
In the blade, fitting the breaks In the
freshly-cut sapling with which the girl
was killed, and the nails and breaks In
the sole of his boots precisely fitting the
tracks beside the scene of the murder
the proof was considered complete.
The production of the knife, the tremoI

and his protestations OF innocence,
and his conduct before the Justice, made
quite dramatic scene in the Sherlff's
Office, the other negroes in custody
who were thereby eXculpated, being

Profits Of Whaling.

Among other benefits whalers enjoy is
almost a total immunity from work in
the rigging. The weather is so cold in
the Arctic regions that but little can he
done at rope repairing and fixing, and
all damages that can possibly be passed
is left until the vessel returns to port.
The perils of the whaling business arc
very great, but the profits Of a good
season are proportionately large. cspeci
ally of late years, since the price Of bone
has steadily gone up from fifty cents per
pound to a figure between $3.50 and
So. This being the case, many people
wonder why more capital is not put
into the business. The reason is that
not only are the whaling grounds
limited to n small space, the risks
so extraordinary that it is hard TO get

urcs, but the number of expert captains

WISE WORDS.

When our hatred is too keen it places
us beneath those We hate.
There arc many vices which do not de-
privc us of friends; there are many vir-
tues that prevent IL having any.
Virtue will catch as well as vice by
contact; and the public stock of honest,
manly principle will daily accumulate.
Every man is not so much a workman
in the world. as he is Il suggestion of
what he should be. Men walk as pro-
phccics Of the next age.
Sorrow is the porchway to JOY. the
pathway to maturity and peace. No ono

not met and mastered sorrow

Many have talked in very exalted Ian

seen of men who have continued faithful
to their earliest choice, and whose atfcc-
tons have predomlnated over changes of

these instances arc memorable because
they are rare. The friendship which is
to be practiced or expected by common
mortals must take its rise from mutual
pleasure. and must end when the power
ceases of delighting each other.

TattOOing.

The causes which produce tattooing are
two, both simple? The first is idlencss,
the second is n slight stirring of the in
stincts of art. Man was a decorated be-
fore he was a clothes-wcaring animal. The
Dyak ladies in Borneo are beautifully
tattoocd in clearinghouse and other pat
terms. laid in with q soft, harmonious
blue. The effect is excellent, and one
can readily believe that it might have a
momcntary vogue among the ecccntrici-
ties of European fashion. 1t is more
decorative, though, unluckily, more per-
manent than powder and patches.
The great tattoocrs among European
people arc French soldiers and French
criminals. The idler and more dis
reputable the man, the more time ne
passes under arrest, the more is he likely
to be tattooed. The long vacuous leisure
of prisons, barracks, and guard rooms is re-
licvcd by the art of taltooing. Vermll-
ion and China ink are chiefly used, and a
vast number of emblcms are engraved on
the human frame. Mere fantastic pic
lures are the most common; then come
amatory devices, hearts, claspcd hands,
and the like, patriotic and religious and
professional symbols, and so forth. One
man was decorated with Il picture of a
carriage, coronct and all, in which a lady
sat and watched the efforts of two grooms
to control her fiery horses. Sometimes
the caricaturc Of Prince Bismarck is tat
toocd. Shocmakcrs and carpenters dec
crate themselves with pictures cmblematic
of their trades. Two foils and a mask
are the ''moko," as the New Z%calandcrs
say, or tattoocd crest of a %fcncer; n gum
maker marks his arm with a picture of a
pistol. Aman's body sometimes becomes
his dossicr, Il record of his career, and
may be of considerable use to the police.
