PHILo. Ill, August 14.-Sliss Gertrude
T. Boomer, who had been a teacher in the
village school for several years, committed
suicide in most shocking manner. 1t is
supposed that OverwOrk unsettled her mind.
Without giving any intimation of her in
tentions, she left the room in which her
mother and several other persons were
seated and, passing out through the
kitchen, entered an outbuilding in the yard.
A few moments later she was discovered
crOuched in the building. her hair and cloth
ing a sheet of flames. She had thoroughly
saturated her garments with kesosene oil
and applied a match. She was horribly
burned, and, although the fire was speedily
extinguished, died during the night.

Ben Buffers Nerve.

Speaking of duels reminds me that
Ben Butler is descended in part from
the old Cilley stock, and was hence re-
lated to the Jonathan Cilley who fell in
the noted Graves-C -Cilley duel. Butler
would have made duelist himself had
he been born in State and at time
when the code of honor held good.
But bean-eating Massachusetts never
fights duels, and Buffers nerve has
had to be expended in other ways. A
notable instance of this occurred in
1856, when Ben Butler was young
practitioner at Lowell. The Buchanan
campaign was in full progress, and q
great meeting was being held in the
largest hall of the city. Rufus Choate,
the great lawyer, was addressing the
meeting and his eloquencc had thrown
them into the widest enthusiasm,
when a jar was felt and q crash was
heard. The cry went forth, "The floor
is sinking" Everybody turned pale
and the audience arose for stampede,
when Butler came to the front OF the
platform beside Mr. Choate, and call
ing the audience to halt, said there was
no danger; that the architect of the
building was present and that he
would go with him and examine the
building and report to allay their fears.
This quieted the audience. Butler
said the architect made an immediate
examination of the hall and found the
danger very great. Butler at once re-
turned and smilingly assured the audi
ence there was no present danger, but
as the hall was overcrowded he advised
them to quietly adjourn to the Public
Square and there MIR. Choate would
finish his speech. The crowd went
quietly out and the catastrophe was
averted. As Butler stepped on the
platform he had whispered to Mr..
Choate with half laugh, in order to
deceive the audience. This is what he
said, "Mr. Choate, L must clear this
house or we shall all be in hell in five
minutes. "-"Carp,' IN Cleveland Lead-

Political Nicknames.


The nicknaming of prominent men,
particularly of those mixing in politics,
lspracticed in this country, more, per-
maps, than in any other. and, as \ rule,
the recipient takes TO it kindly. Thus
Zen. jackson was rs well known as
'Old Hickory" and more readily rec
ognized than if called President Jack
son. Senator Benton in his lifetime
was almost as wei known as 'Old
Bullion, so called from his advocacy
OF a gold and silver currency and his
nveterate opposition TO banks and pa
per money. The late Thomas Ewing, of
Ohio, while senator in congress, had
his nickname of Solitude. and it so
stuck to him that even now. long after
his death, the prelix is still given him
to distinguish him from his son and
namesake, Gen. Tom Ewing.
Senator Ewing made Il speech in the
United States senate which fastened
the Solitude" upon him. II was dur
ing the national bank agitation, when
the supporters of that institution were
active in picturing the ruin that would
come upon the country if the banks
charter was not renewed. Senator
Ewing in debate spoke of the mechanic
being out of work, and that the busy
hum OF industry is not heard in this,
the busy season of the year, and
wound up with the assertion that "our
canals are solitude. our lakes but
desert wastes of water A number
OF congressmen-several of them sem
ators, and more than half of them
democrats-made up a party to return
10 their homes by the way of the New
York canal. The west was then send
ing its produce to the east via lake and
canal, and the congressional party
found that the canal trade, if Judged
by the number of boats met, was i'm
mense, and it was standing joke with
the democratic members when q fleet
OF boats hove in sight to call Mr.. Ew-.
ing from the cabin of the packet-b boat
to look at his solitude
At the lower end of the canal there
had been break, and large number
OF boats were usually in sight. Of
course there was fun to see them and
10 point them out to the Ohio member,
but the fun was not on his side nor to
his liking. At Rochester, Just rs the
packet boat landed, freight-boat was
dlscharging cargo, and Mr.. Ewing and
the other congressman were lockers
on. BY some accident a hogshead
hlled with molasses had its head burst
In, and the contents poured into the
canal. An Irish laborer standing near
to MIR. Ewing, without knowing who
he was, exclaimed: "Jabers, mon,
that must be solitude swatened." The
other congressman roared with laugh
ter, and MIR. Ewing was forced to join
them. The democratic members told
the joke and it got into the news
papers, and it aided in perpetuating
the sobriquet of Solitude on Senator
Thomas Ewing. l tell the tale as it
was told and printed at the time.-Cor.

How Watch Cases are Made.

This process ssofmanufacture was invented

making these watch cases are covered by

under this process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
topopular prejudice against plated" goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
James Boss Gold Watch Case was not a
cheap gOId-Uashed or eiectro-plated article,
but was made of genuine gold plates of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
