& great many ladies ia the departments
do not desire 10 marry unless they can
better their condition. still it may be
laid down as Il general principle that
they are apt TO lose their ntt%ractivencss
in the eyes oil men. Their constant as
ISOLATION with men every day, their oc-
cupat!on, which is not, strictly speak
inc, feminine, causes them to lose that
feminine grace and charm which is SO
Intangible shat it is felt rather than cx-
pressed, Men are attracted to women
becai,sc they are SO different. 1t is
what we mean when we speak of q
womanly woman, and it is those quail
ties OF mind and heart that find their
best development i'll the domcsticity of
a happy home. Women are apt 10 lose
the deiicacy and charm Of their nature
when thrown i'll daily contact with
men, and they are apt 10 become mas
culine. | don't think that men are at
tractcd by wishy-washy women and
pretty doll faces, and that in order to
be womanly it is necessary to be i'm
practical and silly. But still, | imagine
that most men, and the best men, like
feminine women; aud, while it is not
always the case, still 1 think that the
majority OF women in the departments
gradually lose this quality OF their IA
ture.

The oak tree planted by Lord Byron
at Newstead abbey is large and flour
ishing, although the alder on which he
cut the names byron and Augusta
long since died. The portion of the
tree on which the names were carved is
preserved among the treasured memen-
toes OF the poet in the abbey. The tree
planted by DR.. Livingstone is on the
lawn, as we'll as the one planted by
STANLEY. The present owner OF New
stead was the II white friend and

which, after ~fearfully mutilating him,
still stood over his PROSTATE body.

John Roach Assigns.

NEW York, July 1S.-John Roach,
the ship builder, under the name OF
Roach d Sons, made general assign
ment this afternoon for the benefit of
their creditors, to George w. Quintard
and George E. Weed. After providing
for the payment of their employees, the
firm made the following preferences:
VIM. Rowland, of New Brunswick,
$62, III, note for $4,000, payable to the
Mechanics and Travlers Bank, and to
T. w. Gatlandt & Company for loans
aggregating $4,000.
John Roach made big money during
and Immediately after the war. In
1867 he purchased the Morgan Iron
Works for about 100000. In 1868 the
Neptune Works for S150,000, and. in
1870 the Frankling for 1926, 900, and al
SO large property at Chester, Pa,
where ne subsequently put in operation
the extensive works known as the Dele
ware River Iron Ship Building and En-
gfne Works, of which corporation Mr..
Roach was president and owner. 1t
was capitalized at $750,0O0. The panic
OF 1873 found him owning about $780,
600, but his resources We're equal to the
occasion, and his statement in Sept
1874, showed assets of $3,205, 900. Mort
cages and other debts of $500, 900. In
1875 rumors of his failure were circu-
lated, but were false. He then stated
that ne was worth from 81, 800, 900 to
w, O00,O 600 above everything. In Sept.
1884, he was quoted as saying that he
was worth $2,000,000 clear. Though
the firm name is John Roach & Sons,
Mr.. John Roach is the sole proprietor.
Mr.. Roach's friends say that he is
nearly Frustrated by grief, and that he
looks tired and greatly careworn. He
is dispirited At his recent reverses. His
ambition has been to build up an
American shipping and place it OH
level with that of Great Britain.

cautions, and spread up the river, reach
ing st. Louis and then Cincinnati in the
spring Of 1849. Thatwas the year when
California was peopled with gold hun
tersi and the scourge travelled with
them, both overland to Sacramento aud
by way of Panama to San Francisco.
New York was not reached until the
10th OF May, when case broke out in
what is now Baxter street. IL is worth
observing that in that very month of
December, when the lack of ofquarantine
admitted the disease at New Orleans, o
strict quarantine at Staten Island had
found 1t coming on another vessel from
Havre, and had completely corralled it
on the grounds there and quenehed It,
When from the New Orleans focus New
York was attacked i'm May, q most Wig
orous effort was made to keep it within
the Five Points district. Hospitals
were extempOrized near by, and sani-
tary committee of public-spirited citi-
zens was formed which acted In con-
junction with Board of Medical Coun-
sci and the Board of Health. As the
cases increased in number school houses
were turned into hospitals. Through
out the month the fight for corralling
the epidemic was kept up; but in June
n case occurred i'm the First ward and
another in the Seventh. Then 1t was
known that the scourge had escaped its
barriers, and before long 1t was all over
the island. The climax was reached
toward the end of August. During the
twenty-five weeks of its continuance
there were more than ten thousand
cases, and 5,017 persons died of the
disease. In Cincinnati ] 400 persons
perished; in st. Louis 953; in Chicago
07S; in Sacramento nearly thousand,
or one in every eight of the inhabitants,
and probably one in five of those who
remained in the city.
Here also, as in Europe and Asia, the
well-defined and sweeping epidemic
was followed for several years by slight
outbreaks. Thus in 1884 there was fear
of a general recurrence of cholera in
New York, and in 1854 the many deaths
from Choleraic disease, including ,424
in Chicago and about thousand in
Detroit, caused some statisticians to put
that down as q distinct third visit of
Asiatic cholera to this country. But
without q referring particularly to these
events or to those of 1856 and 1873 at
the West, it is obvious from the two
great marches of well-defined Asiatic
cholera in 1882 and 1S4S, that vigilence
everywhere is the only condition Of
safety and that the most admirable quar-
antine precautions in every port but
one, along thousand of miles of At
lantic seaboard, might be betrayed and
made of no avail by carelessness in that
one.

MURDER AND ROBBERY.
One of Mark Townships Young Men
the Victim Of Terrible Crime.

Last Wednesday Mrs. Grove, of Mark
township, requested Sheriff Wonderly to
search for her son, John Grove. Upon re-
quest the Sheriff went to the following places:
Aviaa, Kendalville and Rome City all in Ind
lana, and Grand Rapids, White Cloud. Hung
erford, and Big Rapids in Michigan. At the
last named. place he obtained trace. On
the Sth of July the body of man had been
found in dense underbrush. Two large
stones had lain near the corpse; his head was
fractured, the brain being laid open; the in
quest had been held and murder had been
the verdict. The gentleman was buried on
the bank of littlestream. On the next day
the marshal of the place, Mr.. Jones, dug him
up and took his coat shirt and shoes, after
which he was re-buried. In his coat two silk
handkerchiefs were found. Mr. Wonderly
by means of these remnants ascertained that
Mr.. Grove had been the victim of shudder-
ing murder.
It is supposed that Grove had in his pos
session about 800 to $500, and that he had
lain in this leafy concealment from thirty to
forty days. y
Grove was young man of good morals
and diligent habits. May justice soon lay
her hand upon the criminal. Defiance Sem
