THE CASE.

The case of Thomas Cluverius,
convicted at Richmond. Va, after
a long trial, Of the murder Of his
cousin, Lillian Madison, is one of
those difficult problems the solution
OF which depends upon circumstan>
tial evidence alone. The body Of
the girl was found floating in u
reservoir, and at first suicide was
suspected, but as inquiry proceed>
ed facts were encountered which
suggested foul play, and by degrees
the circumstances seemed to point
more and more strongly to Culver
ius as the criminal. 1t was known
that he and the dead girl had been
on very intimate terms. 1t was
supposed at one time that they
we're to be married, but it appear
ed that Cluverius had recently de,
veloped other views. There was
proof that Q certain young woman,
not clearly identified, had gone to
a hotel, and that there she had
been called upon by an unknown
young man, with whom she had
walked out. The prosecution un-
dertook to prove that this young
woman was Lillian Madison, and
that the young man was Oluverius.
One Of the strongest pieces of evA
idence was a watch-key found on
the bank of the reservoir. Several
witnesses swore that they had seen
Cluverius wearing just such a key
before the murder. The web Of
testimony woven about Cluverius
became stronger every day as the
prosecution developed its case,
The theory put forward was that
the defendant had seduced his
cousin under promise Of marriage;
that she had implored him 10 re-
deem his pledge; that he mean
time had become engaged else.
where ; and that finally he de-
termined to get rid of Lillian,
trusting that she would be believed
to have drowned herself, 4.
But a man who happened to he
near the reservoir on the night oil
the murder had heard a woman's
voice raised in alarm or expostu-
lation. There were also marks oil
a struggle on the bank, and marks
of violence on the body. Cluverius
failed to establish an alibi. lie
could not disprove the notorious
intimacy between himself and his
cousin. Nothing was brought for
ward to support the theory of sui
eide; and the interviews at thu
hotel were shown to have beer

could not fit in any other persol

and no doubt this was one Reason
why their case broke down. Th
presumption is that tho jury, i

How .Beecher's appointment is
Received

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The APP
pointment OF Captain n. +. Beechar,
son of the Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er, a. Collector of Customs for the
Puget Sound District, is not pleas
ing, it appears, to the Democrats of
the Northwest. Judge Kuhn, of
Port Townsend, was the candidate
of the Democrats generally of Wash>
ington Territory, and also of many
leading party men Of Oregon. Kuhn
is an old>time Democrat, and has
been a leading spirit in the party Of
the Northwest. He is a. member Of
the National Committee from WASH
ington, and has been an indefaIig-
able worker for his party. He was
backed by the Democrats and
Beecher by the Mugwumps, Lead-
ing Democrats of Washington Ter
rtory have said that the appoints
ment Of Beecher would demoralize
the Democracy Of the Northwest,
-
that Beecher was never anything
except a Republican, and does not
profess to be a Democrat, that to set
aside an old party veteran like Kuhn
for q man who does not even pro,
fess to belong to the party would
disgust the Democrats OF Washing
ton and Of Oregon. Such represent
~tations by prominent Washington
Territory Democrats induced Lead
ing members Of Congress Of that
party to unite in advising the APP
poin,ment Of Kuhn. II was charged
by the Democrats, and they reiteiate
it now, that Beecher based his
claims solely upon the services his
father had rendered in the campaign.

A MOTHERS ADVICE TO G1RLs.-There
is a thing of which want to speak, and
that is, of the behavior of girls towards
young men who are not lovers but simply
friends. Let me tell you plainly that our
sex were not meant to be wooers. The
custom, prevalent among certain class of
young ladies, of asking directly or indi-
rectly the attentions of young gentlemen
is not commendahle. 'tMy son." said q
lady to me not long since, sis much preju-
diced against a young girl whom admire,
because she is constantly sending him notes
inviting him to be her escort here and
there and planning to have him with her."
A modest and dignified reserve, which is
neither prudery nor affectation, should dis,
tinguish your demeanor to gentlemen.
Too great familiarity, and too evident
pleasure in the society of young men, are
errors into which no delicate and pure
minded girl should fall

The reverses and changes so constantly
going on in the weather are not to be con.
sidered as capricious or accidental, but that
they are covered by certain laws, which,
when closely observed and studied, the sci
enlist is enabled to give general forecast
of these changes, not only for hours, days,
or weeks, but even months ahead.
Nothing can be of more vital Importance
to the commercial and agricultural interests
of the country, than careful forecast of
the weather for any given date. "By it
the mariner guards against coming storms;
the farmer selects the most favorable sea-
sons to plant, to cultivate and harvest his
crops. Railroad officials are warned of the
approach of heavy SHOWS, and residents
upon river banks protect themselves from
disastrous floods"
Inasmuch as this is comparatively new
science, hardly as yet having gained sufi-
cient foot-hold to command the attention OF
om leading scientific men, it is proposed to
establish "Branch" of the Association in
every State and province of this Continent,
each of which is to cooperate with the
central committee sitting monthly at Mon.
treal.
By this means, all who desire to make
this Interesting silence special study car
do SO with but title or no cost, by simpl,
joining themselves to some one or other OF
the branches now in process of formation.
On Saturday, March 14th, 1885, a
"Branch" of the Association was formed
at Dale Enterprise, this State, when off
GERS were elected and work, preparatory tc
making it a permanent organization,
mapped out for the future.
The neral aim of the Association is:
1st. To formulate system of rules fol
simplifying the science of weather fore.
casting.
End. To conduct and report experiments
of lunar influence on vegetation.
3rd. To ascertain the exact times bes
suited for the planting and ingathering o
crops.
4th. To establish rules for future guild
ance in times OF plenty, seasons of dearth
periods of health, sickness, &c.
Each member is expected, as often a.
practicable, to prepare paper on subjects
assigned by the President, to be read be-
fore the Association. No theory shall be
accepted as proved until thoroughly venti
lated, discussed, and voted upon favorably
by the Association.
The next meeting of the Virginia
Branch" will be held at Dale Enterprise
on April 14th, at 10 A. M.
Persons interested in Astronomy, Mete-
reology, &C.. are cordially invited to at
tend. Such as desire to become members
should correspond with the President.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one Of Mr.. 4ELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
heal7d the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use,
