Marvellous Swamp Draining.

The people of certain parts of Georgia,
Louisiana and Florida, foresee great
amelioration Of their condition and sur
rounding in the success which has at
tended the experiments Col. John p.
Fort, of Southwest Georgia, both in
obtaining by means of artesian wells the
best possible drinking water for the in
habitants OF the marshy lowlands. Col.
Forts plan is to drain stagnant ponds by
running them off through wells sunk at
their lowest part. 1t appears that in
Dougherty county, where he resides,
there are subterranean passages in stratum
which lies from 20 to 100 feet below the
surface. BY drilling down through the
rock which roofs this stratum he struck
an opening, at once the water commenced
to sink with roar. The drill pipe was
drawn out and the pond commenced to
empty itself as fast as the OritiCe that the
drill had made through the rocks would
permit Within 200 feet of this queer
drainage pipe Col. Fort has an artesian
well, sunk of course to different depth,
which throws up an abundant supply of
perfectly clear sweet and pure drinking
water, equal to the best to be found in
the highlands. Should Col. Fort now
find stream which gives q fall of some
fifty feet, and then with an infallible
regularity returns in a circle upon itself,
he would be situated in hydraulic par
adiSe.

APPALLING CALAMITY.
French brig Lost, with Sixty-nine
LiveS-MOnster Icebergs at Sea-

Advices from ST. Johns, N. F., states that an
appalling disaster has recently occurred The
French brig Senorine, with crew of nine sea-
men and tifty-threc passengers, went down
with every soul on board, on the eastern edge
of the Great Banks. The Senorine was
laden with a general cargo, bound from st.
Malo, France, to st. Pierre. She sailed on the
9Th of Mach last, and had been vaguely de-
SPARED of for nearly month. Some trunks,
baskets, clothing and other gear, identified as
belonging to the Senorine, places the absolute
certainty of her loss beyond the reach of
doubt The debris from the ill-fated Senorine
was picked up by an English schooner arriving
at this port.
A gigantic iceberg, borne upon the Arctic
current entered the bay of st. Johns the other
morning, and now spans the Narrows, fore
closing, to the eye, all ingress and egreSS; still,
it is distant nearly two miles from the harbor
headlandS. a steam-tug with party of e1-
cursionists on board, steamed round it and oc-
cupied, without stoppage, exactly one hour
and two minutes in the circuit Seen from
the elevated signal station it shows eleven
small lakes on its almost level top surface, and
two beautiful cascades tumble down over its
sides.
A mammoth iceberg, estimated at not less
than seven miles long, passed south a few
days since, forty miles distant as seen from
the blockhouse over the harbor Of st Johns.
The latest arrival from the second trip of
steam sealers reports q larger ice monster
thirty miles off the Southern Grayis island.
This one was ascertained, by cross bearings
and trigonometrical survey, to be nine miles
and a quarter in length. 1t would thus ap-
pear as if the Polar sea had disembogued all

names which have been borne by women
for thousands of years, and which ars
both beautiful in themselves, and sweeg
in their associations. There is dignity
about them which BELTS womanhood,
while a great part of the fanciful names
which have of late come into fashion, ars
inappropriate, except in the nursery, as
pet appellations of babies. There are q
score of common names which are far
better than any of those manufactured by
romacers. They are all good and all suit
able, and because thousands and millions
of women have been known by them,
they are none the less attractive Those
which are most commonly used, are
indeed the most agreeable to the ear-hke
Mary and Margaret, Catherine and Harri-
ct, Jane and Lucy, and Elizabeth. They
are dignified, and their homehness makes
them all the more charming. Affection
will never get tired of them. They will
be as common a thousand years from now,
as they were a thousand years ago, and as
they are to-day.

Loss of Form,

After women pass middle age they lose
a considerable amount of their height,
not by STOPPING, as men, but by actual
collapse, sinking down; this is mainly to
be attributed to the perishing of the
muscles that support the frame in conse-
uuence of habitual and constant pressure
of corsets and dependence upon the arti-
fetal support by them afforded. Every
girl who wears corsets that press upon
these muscles and restrict the free deYel-
opment of the fbres that form them, re-
lieyingthem of their natural duties ofsup-
porting the spine, indeed incapacitating
them from so doing, may feel sure she IS
preparing herself to be dumpy woman.
A great pitt! Failure of health among
women when that vigor of youth passes
away is but too patent and but too com
monty cuased by this practice. Let the
man who admires the pieces of pipe that
does duty for human body picture to
himself the wasted form and scanned skin.
Most women, from long custom of wear
ing these corsets, are really unaware how
much they are hampered or restricted.
A girl of twenty intended by nature to
lie one of her finest specimens gravely
assures one that her cOrsets are not tight,
being the same size as those she was first
put into, not perceiving her condemna-
tion in the fact that she has since grown
five inches in height and two in shoulder
breadth. Her corsets are not too tight
because the constant pressure has pre-
vented the natural development of heart
and lung space The dainty waist of
the poets is precisely that flexible SLIM
ness that is destroyed by corsets. the
form resulting from them is not slim, but
a piece of pipe, and not quite as flexible.

A WOMAN HANGED.
Execution of Husband POis0ner
in England
Sbrieking With Terror as She il
Dragged to Her Doom.

A horrible hanging occurred a few days
since at Lincoln, England The victim was
Mrs. Leffley, who poisoned her husband last
fall, and was duly convicted and sem
fenced at Lincolnshire Sessions. She
had, however, acquired some money
by her husbands death, and she spent
it literally in pressing an appeal to the home
secretary for Communication of sentence to
imprisonment for life, or if that were refused,
for reprieve of few weeks To the very
lost moment Mrs. Leffley believed that re,
prieve would be granted, and she was not by
any means reconciled to her fate.
When she first saw the hangman in the pin
ioning room she shrieked with terror and
tainted She was restored to consciousness
and the hangman began to prepare her for the
gallows by pinioning her elbows and fixing
a strap loosely around her skirts to be
frightened about her ankles after she
had walked to the scaffold. Mrs. Leffiey
fought desperately to prevent these re-
straints and gave utterance to frightful yells,
which were heard even outside the massive
walls of the Jail. On the way to the scaffold
the screams of the condemned woman were
almost maniacal, and drowned the voice of
the prison chaplain who was reciting the
prayers for the dying.

continued to scream and incoherently avow
her innocence until the white cap was pulled
down over her mouth and stified her voice
Then the trap fell, the woman was dropped
into the well, and in a few minutes was pro-
nounced dead The usual inquest was held,
and the corpse was buried in the Jail yard and
covered with quicklime.
Contrary to the usual custom, no represen.
tatives of the press were admitted
to the Jail yard, and very contra
dictory stories are told by the medi.
cal men and other official witnesses of
the execution. All the facts as stated above
are admitted by all the witnesses, but some of
them state in addition that Hang
man Binns was unnecessarily and barbar
ously brutal in his treatment of the
unhappy woman. According to their
statements he knocked her down in the
pinioning-room and choked her until her face
was livid in order to stop her screaming. The.
