I1ppINC0rrs MAGAZINE.

Lippincotts Magazine for February opens
with paper on "O!d Germantown" IL traces
the early history of the town, calls up lis proml-
peut figures and characteristics in the past, and
describes the existing relics, which are more nu-
mrrous and better preserved than those OF any
other suburban place in America The Ill usTa-
tions, from drawings oy Pennell, are finely exc
cuted.
"Frepch Chateau Life, Past and Present" by
Miss Brewster deals chiefly with the Breton
home of Madame de Sevign', which the writer
has recently visited, finding its features little al
tered aud recalling the incidents and illusions
which connect these with the lives OF its former
inhabitants. Alfred VI. Williams, who has trav-
elled extensively in the "Rcseryatiop," gives an
interesting description of AN Indian Cattle
Tbwn." Professor Horatio s. White gives very
pleasing account of A Pilgrimage TO Sesen-
helm. where Goethe, while student at Strass-
burr' became enamored of the fair Frederike,
whom he Tilted and immOrtalized. "On Glass
Roof" by Rowland E. Robson, Is an amusing
description of winter fishing in Vermont. Dr.
Felix l.. Oswald has q second paper on Healthy
Homes" which is replete with valuable sugges-
tons
The second instament OF "Sebias Tangled
Web" by Lizzie w. Champney, Is very animated,
and there is q strong thread OF interest In the
story. IA Mental Masquerade" by Esther war
rem, is brightly written and we'll constructed.
Explained" by Alice Brown, Is pathetic little
ghost story; ami The Great Jigtown Failure,
by Charles +. johnson, is n clever realistic
sketch. The misceil tneOus departments are well

A Man and a Woman Hanged.

DENVER, Colo, January 20.-Some
three months ago Mary Rose Matthews, 4
bright, winsome little girl of ten, was
adopted from the Denver Catholic Or
phans' Home by Mike Cuddihie and wife,
who lived on ranch ten miles from
Ouray, small mining town in the south
ern part of the State. On Saturday MORN
ing of last week little Rose suddenly died
and was buried by Cuddihic at 4 distant
part Of the ranch. The little girl was
cruelty treated from the first, the neigh
bors said, and her mysterious death and
hurried burial aroused their suspicious.
The coroner of Ouray was notified, and
he Immediately repaired to the ranch. He
found the grave and had the body ex-
humed, when unmistakable evidences of
a cruel death were revealed. The body
was covered with knife wounds, one leg
was broken, her skull was crushed and
her limbs were frozen. She had, no doubt,
been driven out in the cold TO die. Cud-
dihic and his wife were Immediately ar
rested and placed in Jail. Friday they
were tried and found guilty of murder.
About one o'clock OH Saturday morning
4 band Of masked men went to the hotel
where Cuddihie and wife were Temporal
rily being held in custody, overpowered
the sherif7s guard and took the prisoners
away. They both cried loudly for mercy,
but as they had ever been deaf to the
pleadings Of little Rose for mercy, so the
vigilants closed their ears TO the cries of
the prisoners. They were taken outside
the town limits, where the woman was
hanged to the ridge-pole of vacant cabin,
while her husband was strung up TO the
limb of tree OH the opposite side of the
road. When their work was done the
yiglants retired quickly. The bodies were
subsequently, cut down by the coroner.

The Paper NIiII.-The New Domin

The Paper lIilI.-The New Domin-
ion Paper Mill of this place, operated by
Van Alstyne 81 Ryan, started up again on
Friday last after 4 shutdown OF several
weeks. During the shutdown some very
important improvements were made in
the mill, among which was the placing in
position of a new fifty-horse-powCr engine
to run the machine room. With this en-
CINE they can keep the machinery in the
main room moving steadily all the time
and independent of stoppages in the other
departments, and rice rersd. Other inn
movements were also made in the work
ing of the mill, and it is now, we are in
formed, one of the best equipped mills in
tho country.
On Wednesday last number of addi-
tional workmen were employed and the
mill started Oh double time. 1t is now
running night and day, one force going
on duty at twelve o'clock at night and
working until noon, when the other force
goes OH and stays until midnight.
We arc glad to learn that the market for
straw board is improving considerably, rs
this means that the mill will be kept at
work and afford employment to the work
ing people. Messrs. Van Alstync Ryan
have made the waste place 1t the bottom
of the hill blossom as the rose, and we
hope that it will long continue under
their iudicious administration.

Letter from Chnrle.towu.-From

letter written to us by Isaac Fouke,
Esq, Of Charlestown, member of the
State legislature, we make the following
extracts:
"In renewing my subscription to your
efficient and very valuable paper, will
say that am glad to see that Shepherds
town is improving so, and that it now has
in full operation several large and COM
modious buildings devoted to manufac-
turing purposes. | see by your paper you
are about to manufacture All Improved

your citizens that you have the credit Of
such an establishment, which will no
doubt bring blessing TO your people.
Our town Of Charlestown, by the erection
Of three large buildings for manufacture
ing purposes, is embarked in the same
course of Improvement. And no less no.
ticeable is another fact that l learn the
appropriation obtained from the legisla-
ture last winter by our delegates from
Jefferson County has been applied to the
purposes for which obtained, in repairing
and painting the Shepherd College build
ing. feel much gratifed that the trus-
tees Of the school have effected the work
i'll SO ample and betting manner. The
more the State invests in the normal
schools the less danger there will be of an
effort To abolish them entirely as was
tried last winter unsuccessfully. These
institutions cannot be we'll spared, as they
are the nut series for basis of instruction
for the youth of the country"

Blaine's Eulogy on Garfield.

MI. Blaine in his eulogy on Garfield
most felicitously quoted these immor-
tai and often appropriate lines:
No might nor greatness in mortality
Can censure 'scape; backwounding calumny
The whitest virtues strikes. What King so
strong
In this connection it will be interest
ing to call to mind one passage from
Blaine's matchless eulogy on Garfield.
Mr.. Blaine said:
One aspect of Garfeld's candidacy
was unprecedented. Never before in
the history of partisan contests in this
country had successful Presidential
candidate spoken freely on passing
events and current issues. To attempt
ANYTHING of the kind seemed novel,
rash, and even desperate. The older
class of voters recalled the unfortunate
Alabama letter, in which Mr.. Clay was
supposed to have signed his political
death-warrant. They remembered also
the hot-tempered effusion by which
Gen. Scott lost large share OF his pop
ularity before his nomination and the
unfortunate speeches which rapidly
consumed the remainder. The younger
voters had seen Mr.. Greeley, in series
of vigorous and original addresses,
preparing the pathway for his own de-
feat. Unmindful of these warnings,
unheeding the advice of friends, Gar
field spoke to large crowds, as he jour-
neyed to and from New York in Au-
gust, to the great multitude in that
city, to delegations and Populations Of
every kind that called at Mentor during
the summer and autumn. With in
Vulnerable critics, watchful and eager
to catch phrase that might be turned
into odium or ridicule, OF sentence
that might be distorted to his own or
his party's injury, Garfield did not trip
or halt in any of his seventy speeches.

Sheep Oh Grain Farms.

The advantages arising from keep
ing sheep on wheat-growing farms
is thus summed up by Mr.. Buell. in an
address delivered before the sheep
breeders of Michigan:
l. They are less subject to contag-
GUS diseases, for the reason that the
reason that the flock can be more
easily kept isolated.
2. When individual losses do &C.
cur, they are less in value than III
case of the loss ola horse or COW.
3. They grow quickly and mature
early, and with their fleece pay divid-
ends oftener than any other live stock,
A. When summer following is
practiced they act as gleanersin clear
ing fence corners Of briars and weeds,
and in keeping down annual grasses
that spring up OH plowed lands.
5. During winter they are still do
ing their work of converting the sur
plus straw into fertilizers.
