= IA Husbands Crime,
HE Is CHARGED WITH AND CoNFEssIs TO
NUMBERING HIS WIFE.

ALTOONA, Pa, April Mrs. DR.. L.
U. Beach, the wife of a prominent
physician, was discovered in room at
her residence this morning with her
mead cut almost from her body. An in
vestigation developed circumstances of
so suspicious character that the doc
tor has been arrested. 1: is said that
he has already admitted to a member
Of the family that he committed the
deed. Two large knives and cleaver
used for amputation purposes were
found beside the victim. The coroner's
jury found that Mrs Beach came to her
death at the hands of her husband, and
the doctor was accordingly remanded to
Jail. He admitted that he killed his
wife, and wants to be hung or shot.
Since his arrest he tried TO borrow
knife, and on being refused, asked for
pin, which was also refused, as it is
believed he intends to commit suicide.
He was received into the Lutheran
church only yesterday morning, and
partook of communion. It's generally
believed that he is insane. The inquest
developed the fact that the couple did
not live happily together. The woman,
who was about forty years old, had
been married twice before, her last hus-
band having been shot and killed by a
two years ago. She married
DR.. Beach year ago. The doctor, who
is of German birth and forty years old,
bad lucrative practice here. When
be gave the alarm he went to his broth
er-in-law's house and told him he had
bis wife. The room where
the murdered woman was found shows
evidence of severe struggle, and the
victims hands were much hacked by
the knife used by her murder
er. Her head was held to her body by
only about hall an inch of flesh. The
doctors socks and underclothing were
found aud showed many blood stains.

An Old Mans Wisdom.

"Father," said a young man. 81
am surprised at you. Why didn't
you knock the fellow down when he
called you liar? Had it been me, 1
should have spatted him right in the
mouth
Eyes, but you see, my son, I am
several days older than you are"
"What did you do?"
"I told him that 1 considered the
source, and right here let me say
that considering the source has saved
many nose. To wisely consider
the source is the acme of human in
teliigence. Without this disposition
our courts would be the seats Of vio-
lent brawls, and our medical profess
sion would be failure. When a
lawyer who has a we'll established
reputation as bruiser arises and
calls q modest and physically infer
ior contemporary liar, the contem-
porary, knowing that forcible re-
sentiment would cause pain and the
disgrace Of thrashing, but still.
not relishing the ideas of being called
a coward, arises, and with the grav-
ity befitting the department of a
statesman, replies, consider the
source You bet he considers the
source, and judicioas consideration
it is, too. The other lawyers, in
stead of calling him coward, look
On him as man of discretion and
quiet nerve. The doctors are pretty
much the same way, and, in fact, 1
do not think that the pulpit is en-
tirely free from it. am 8 man of
mnch experience, son, and weigh
well what say. When man who
is your physical superior calls you .
liar tell him that you consider the
source. If he be of an irritable dis
position, and you think that he might
place violent construction on your
remark and knock you down, don't
tell him that you consider the source,
bat go away to some quiet place
where you can consider without in
terruption. Arkansas Traveller.

He Missed the. Cat.

Alexander Magee, and his aunt,
Mrs. Jane Magee, Of Manayunk,
were annoyed by "a p'le sickly cat
that was always about and never just
dropped in" On pleasant night
in May last the cat was singing on a
fence outside Of Mr.. Magee's
window.
Snow 1 will kill that cat.'' said
Mr.. Magee.
He got q revolver. crept down
stairs and climbed upon his chicken
coop and fired. There was yell of
pain, and the cat dropped.
'It will sing no more," said Mr..
Magee. He crawled to the top of
the chicken coop to look for the cats
dead body in his neighbor's yard.
The cat could not be seen, but where
the animal ought to have been found
lay Magee's neighbor, ex-Magistrate
Alfred Snyder.
"Hellol what's this ?'' cried Mr.
Magee.
s'You have missed your cat" an.
swered Snyder, shut you have
brought down me-" Snyder was laid
up for six weeks. Then he brought
a suit against Magee to recover dam
ages, and was uceessful.-Philadel.

Live Stock Notes.

After killing hogs do net permit
their eareasses to freeze. Freezing
expands the flesh. makes evapora-
ton more rapid, and they lose sew
eral pounds in weight. Leave them
out just long enough to freeze be-
fore cutting up.
Cut hay mixed With bran or mid
dlings makes profitable hog feed,
soaked with swill or steamed with
roots. 1t is also highly reiished,
and is a great pork producer.
The increase of live stock is not
equal to the increase of population.
Since 1860 the population of the
United States has increased 65 per
cent, while the increase Of live stock
has been about so per cent.
The milk of the Devon COW is con-
sidered by scientific men to be the
best for family use, because the
cream rises more slowly than on the
Jersey OF Guernsey milk, and it is
richer than the Durham's.
The Jersey herd of James r. Ross,
Wabash, Ind, has many remarkably
fine animals in it, among them the
cow Mary Ann, of st. Lamberts,
9770, which in a test of thirty-one
days made twenty-four pounds and
thirteen ounces of butter in seven
days.

Songs Never SUNG.

"How does that verse run? Something
| like this, isu't 1t?
! There are who touch the magic string,
And noisy fame is proud to win them;
Alas! for those who never sing,
But die with all their music in them"
"Yes; that's beautiful, pathetic and
| true" said your representative. "The poet
| alludes to people who. are somehow sup
| pressed, and never get their full allowance
of JOY and air. Which reminds me of q
letter shown me the other day by HIsCox
and Co., of New York, signed by Mr.. E. C.
Williams, of Chapman, Snyder county, Pa,
| prominent business man of that place.
He writes:

forty years, and had terrible attack IN

Tonic. did 80, and The first day took
four doses. The effect
astonished me. That night I slept
as if nothing was the matter with me. and
have ever since. l have had colds since,
but no asthma. Ny breathing is now as
perfect as if I had never known that disease.
If you know of any one who has asthma
tell him in my name that PARKER's ToSIc
will cure it--even after forty years. There
was a man who escaped the fate of those
whom the poet laments.
This preparation, which has heretofore
been known as PARKER's GINGER Tonic,
will hereafter be advrrtised and sold under
the name of PAKKFR's Tonic. Inasmueh
as ginger is really an unimportant ingre-
dent, and unprincipled dealers are con-
stantly deceiving their customers by sub
stitutIne inferior preparations under the
name of ginger, we drop the misleading
word
There is no change, however, in the pre-
paration itself, and all bottles remaining in
the hands of dealers, wrapped under the
nsme of PARKER's GIEGER Tonic contain
the genuine medicine if the fac-simile sig
nature of Hrscox & Co. is at the bottom of
the outside wrapper. iv

OUR HISTORY.

That history can Of foo!s make sages,
No one can doubt who reads these pages
There's not record Of man
Whose father was plebian.
| They all are of AS noble birth
As any men upon the earth.
This Book will prove the poet lies.
''That no mans great until he dies"
Thu author Of the Book did tske
The task offools to wise men make.
But for his skill they'd be forgo:.
Their names would with their bodies rot.
There never were so maAJ men
Made great so quick by ink and pen.
They'r singled out from 'mong the mssses.
One-third fools and two-shirds -.
Of lawyers in the Book We read,
The chief of whom ia J. G. Mead.
The balance Of the firm We know,
But never heard OF Mead l. Co.
Oftafy, doctors get their need; r.
None, surely. we're in greater need.
For every life they claim to save,
They've sent hundred TO hegravs.
The preacher gets his shsrs of praise,
As other men in modern days.
Had they not lived, ne must confess,
He'll would not get one sinner less.
The warriors were TO have a crew,
As every sword from scabbard drew.
As gallant men 'tis plain to see
As Q. 8. Gran, or Genersl Lee.
Some could no; stsnA the smell Of blood,
And from the battle homewaro scud.
While others held the horses when
The fight was made bF brave men.
But for the record none would know
That Cesar did to Britain 90.
That Judas did his Lord betrey,
Or David old Goliah slay.
The coming man will always look 9t
For all the great men in this Book.
His soulrejoice, his heart be glad
To read this record of his dad.

A Silver Kings Daughter.

/ was shown, a few days ago, in q
San Francisco paper, a very droll in.
teiview with the only daughter Of 6
silver king, who had been Tilted by
the son of an illustrious American
general of world wide fame. The
young lady in question, according to
the San Francisco paper, received
the reporter alone, and then called
in her mother to fix the date on which
she gave the inconstant lover s.s
pair of gig horses, that cost SIS, 200
each, with which he made of I" in
quitting the country. One of the
questions put to her was, "Had you
any very pronounced sentiment of
amativeness in the earliest stages of
the courtship?" ''No; ambition was
stronger than love. There's nobody
so rich as l shall be on this side of
the Rocky Mountains, and / made
up nv mind that, since the eldest son
of the Prince of Wales is too young
to marry, would at least aim at the
son of the first man in the United
States"
''When you were engaged did q
softer sentiment prevail?"
Eyes. admit that I felt In heaven
when danced or went out to ride
with him in his gig"
Ibid he show any appreciation of
the feeling you expressed?"
Sometimes he did, and gazed at
me fondly." @
"You were quite unprepared, /
suppose, for the wheel about and
march OFF ?''
"No, not quite. was warned by
friend that be called ne behind my
back q freckled, red-headed Biddy,
and said that he could never take
me, without blushing for my want of
refinement, round the courts Of Eu-
rope"
'What did you do when you heard
that?"
Ga4cQ MIN WlG6 lb.
"And what did he do2'
"He said he was not sorry that I
had heard it, for that had no man
ners, and ought to go, to post my
self up, to some convent in France
where the daughters of nobility were
educated"
"And then?"
81 cried from pure vexation."
"What happened next?''
"He put his arm around my waist
and kissed me-"
"And what did you do?''
81 told him to let me alene and go
back to his kings and queens in Eu-
rope"
''And what did he sayi''
s'He said he would, because they
we're real good company. We then
made up
care you still ambitious3.'
Eyes, very. Love flies out of the
window; position remains. I'm tired
of California, and of hearing people
say they remember father, a whisky
singer. If lord don't come from
England to court me, I'll go to court
lord and become titled lady"
Imagine the daughter of Barring
or Rothsohild appearing in dia-
logue of this kind. I should not see
in it any harm, but nearly every one
else would be shocked. In conclu-
sion, / have to announce the en-
gagement of the Silver Kings heir
ess to an English nobleman Of aristo-
cratic connections. He is not yet
middle aged, and this served with
social and military distinction in a
crack regiment. His title is ancient.
The bride-elect was not, am assur-
ed, done justice TO by the son of the
illustrious American when he criti-
cised her behind her back. She is q
Biddy, in the sense that she is Irish
looking. But what did Moore write
about the daughters Of Erinp And
was there ever more grace, beauty
and wit united in any woman than in

in whole, or great part of it, may
be given up to it. There are nj
measures of great Importance upor
the calendar of the Senate atpresent.
Mr. Cullom's bill for the reorgan.
ization of the legislative power OF
Utah, some discussion of which has
already taken place, will, doubtless,
be reached early in the week, but
the only question about it will be
with regard to its reference. The
measure, involving as it does the re-
organization of the entire govern
mental machinery of Utah, would
naturally go to the Committee On
Territories.
Among the measures which may be
reported from the committees during
the week are the bills introduced by
Mfr. Sherman, authorizing the issue
Of circulating notes to national banks
proportional in amount to the mar
ket value of their bonds; MI: Ed
mund's civil rights bill and the ship
ping bill. These measures have
been under consideration respectively
by the Finance. the Judiciary and
Commerce Committees during sew
eral of their recent meetings, and
the committee work upon them is
supposed to be nearly concluded. If
none Of these matters are reached,
or if they do not occupy allthe week,
the bill providing q form of civil
for Alaska, reported by
Mr.. Harrison, from the Committee
on Territories, will come up, and
will give rise to some discussion.
