TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

Two citizens Of Cincinnati one morning
last week found stranger Whom they at
first thought to be deadJ at the foot OF a
railway embauknent near that city. Upon
being taken to hotel, restoratives were ap-
piled, and, upon regaining consciousness,
the stranger related the following:
"My name is S. E. Chamberlain. l live
near Toledo and am raiser of and dealer
10 stock arrived in Cincinnati few min
utes after o'clock last evening via the Gin.
cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad.
Arriving at the depot, and wishing to reach
the Palace Hotel, | stepped into the first
carriage saw. l don't remember what it
looked like aud would not know the driver
if should see him, as suspected nothing
wrong and paid not the least attention to
either. remember now that the carriage
was very close and that all the windows
were up. began to think that we were q
long time getting to the Palace, when sud-
denly noticed sound as though the air
was rapidly escaping from tube. Almost
instantly feeling of suffocation came over
me. raped on the window and cried out,
but was completely overcome before l could
attract attention or break the glass. | was

member the carriage joltiug along
and 7 may have been driven about
the city all night as far as I know.
What followed is perfect blank to me.
When I got in the carriage had a valuable
gold watch, about Sl20 in cash, gold ring,
an overcoat, hat and small valise, in
which was change of linen. All these
things disappeared and suppose the villains
robbed me before they threw me down the
bank. 1 thought there was only one man
with the hack, but there may have been
two. am waiting here for money to come
from home"
Mr.. Chamberlain has employed private
detectives to work up the case. An old
policeman said last night: THE scheme is
an old one, but did not suppose any one
would dare work it in Cincinnati. The hack
was fixed that is the driver had on his seat
under blanket rubber bag filled with
stupefying gas, which was connected with
the inside of the hack by rubber tube. The
carriage was made as air-tight as possible,
and at the right moment the driver turned
stop-cock and stood on the sack, forcing
the gas into the carriage. After his passen
ger had lost consciousness it was an easy
matter to rob him and then dump him in a
convenient place."

Why She Married.

FFWt CHe ISttSODr0 UlSDdJch.
"Why do l want to marry ~ seems to
be the all-absorbing theme OF your @. OPS
of recent date. II 1t will interest or be
of any benefit to the "Berthas" of to-day
why girl wanted to marry over fourteen
years ago, who persOnate this girl, will
jOt down the reasons as they occurred to
me then: Possessing original and strong
ideas, and looking upon marriages as the
contamination OF vow that reached
nearer the eternal future than any other
"a binding link that led to Heaven, as
it were, l felt that to marry the
man OF my choice would be to attain
to that greater excellence Of char
acter; TO perfect a womanhood as yet
very imperfect, TO open new paths of use
fulness and happiness to the rearing of
ones offspring-the binding tie of earthly
marriage aud the commands of an ALI
wise Being-for noble life on earth, for
a Christian death and a resurrection.
These were my principal and exalted
notions OF the marriage relationship. i
wanted my love pure, free from Gross;
and earthly appetite and qualifications
subordinate to this one idea of a lifetime.
All other things believed would follow:
A happy home; a happy wife and mother;
a cOntented and loving father, who thinks
that wife and children are the only be-
loved objects on The face OF the globe, and
whose love FOR them is only next to love for
God. Religion wanted first in my home
for that was to me the rock upon which
hoped to build the superstructure OF the
stately edifce. ''Build me strong, noble
Master" would be my unspoken prayer.
Leaving the exalted, or purely ideal, for
more practical thoughts (although the
above is not impracticai). 1 will say that
many young girl has ten chances where
another has only one for learning useful
things. bertha" seems to havef full and
plenty to work on, and that Is a great
thing. Rigid economy in household mat
ters is bar to progress, as much so as
wastefulness is a sin. circumstances
have much to do with the bringing to per-
lection of the unripe fruit, or casting it
worthless TO the ground before Its time.

BETRAYED by a Button,
From the SO. Louis Republican,


''0ne of the best LAID schemes to do
MURDER" says Mr.. A. III. Candy of the
Carleton Opera Company, twas a plan
that was detected by the merest chance
In the Kellogg-Hes Opera Company,
years ago, when Mr.. Carleton was the
baritone OF that organization. A certain
artist playing prominent roles was sus-
pected by member of the chorus with
paying altogether too much attention to
the chorister's wife, and the artist was
duly warned by his friends 10 keep close
watch on the movements OF the husband.
One evening, as he was passing across the
stage TO his dressing room, he CHANGED
to hear one OF the wardrobe women say
to another that there were buttons off all
the soldier uniforms.
Snow, as the husband was to be one of
a die OF soldiers whose duty it was to fire
a volley OF shots at the artist as he made
his escape up IA rocky pass, the absence
of the buttOns-little balls OF steel-soon
awakened suspicion in his mind. Before
the curtain went up on the act in which
this Incident occurred, he went to the
property man and insisted on having
charges in the chorister's gun examined.
The trearm was taken from the husbands
hands, and when the load was drawn one
of the buttons was found rammed down
under a wad. One button had been cut
from every uniform so as to conceal the
positive proof that the missile came from
the husbands gun. Had that shot been
fired and proved fatal, no evidence but
the thinnest OF circumstantial testimony
could have connected the true mu rd =
erer with the tragedy"

A Girl's Reading,

TVOUa Tue dIdut9c AOuthty.
We all know Charles Lambs views on
the subject OF early reading, as expressed
in his triumphant vindication of Bridget
Elias happily neglected education: "Sne
was tumbled by accident or design into a
spacious closet of good old English books.
without much selection or prohibition,
and browsed at will upon that fair and
wholesome pasturage. Had | twenty
girls they should be brought up exactly
in this fashion," 1t is natural that but
lew parents are anxious to risk so haz-
ardouS an experiment, especially as the
training of "lncOm parable old maids ia
hardly the recognized summit of maternal
ambition; but Bridget Ella at least
ran no danger of intellectual star
walton, while, il we pursue q mod.
ern school girl along the track of her self
chosen reading. we shall be astonIshed
that so much printed matter can yield so
little mental nourishment. She has be-
gun. no doubt, with childish stories,
bright and we'll written, probably, but
following each other In such quick sue
cession that none of them have left any
distinct impressions on her mind. Books
that children read but once are of scant
service to them; those that have really
helped to warm our imaginations and to
train our faculties are the few old friends
we know so we'll that they have become a.
portion OF our thinking selves. At 10 or
II the little girl aspIres to something
partly grown up-to those nOndescrIpt
tales which. trembling ever ON the brink
OF sentiment, seem afraid to risk the
plunge; and with her appetite whetted
by course of this unsatisIying diet, she
Is soon ripe for little more excitement
and great deal more love, so gradu-
ates into Rhoda Broughton and the
Duchess" at which point her intellec-
tual career is closed. She has no idea,
even, of what she has missed in the world
of books. She tells you that she ''don't
care for Dickens" and ''can't get in
terested In Scott" with placidity that
plainly shows she lays the blame tor this
state OF affairs on the two great masters
who have amused and charmed the
world. AS for North anger Abbey, or
Emma, she would as soon think of find
ing entertainment in Henry Esmond.
She has probably never read a single
masterpiece of our language; she has
never been moved by q noble poem, or
stirred to the quick by weil-tod page
of history; she has never opened the pores
of her mind for the reception of vigor-
Gus thought, or the solution Of a mental
problem; yet she may be found daily in
the circulating library, and is seldom
visible on the street without book or
two under her arm.

From the Czepsland Lender.

| had long talk with the travelling agent
of one of the largest dashboard factories in
the United States the other day. Said he
millions of Washboards are made and sold
in the United States every year. and at least
100000 are sold yearly between the Ale
There are two factories In Cleveland which
turn out 200 dozen washboar Is day, one in
Toledo which turns out 800 dozen daily, and
two in ST. Louis which turn out over mil
hon q wear. There are at least twenty diff
ferelt varieties of washbOards, and the best
washboards are made in the West. The East
ern factories make their washboards of pine.
The best wood for washbOardS is the cotton
wood or the sycamore. Pine is too soft and
white pine is too expensive. The best wash
wire nails driven across the grain or the
wood. You can buy the poorer class as low
as eighty cents dozen at wholesale, and the
better boards cost as high as 81 10 a dozen.
A man in New York has invented a wash
board which he has offered to the trade for 50
dozen, but it costs too much and will not
sell. Double washboards as those that have
zinc ridges on both sides. The prices of these
run from 81 go TO So per dozen. At retail
washboards cost %, 80, 30, 40. and so cents
apiece"
"Wl,o made the first washboard?'
~ don't know. But the first were made Of
wool entirely, and our washerwoman used to
pound the dirt out of the clothes with stick
by laying them on a board. The first wash
board made of zinc were put upon the mar
ket about twenty-five years ago, ana the
style nrst invented is found the bes. to-day.
Washhoards made of glass arc liable to break,
and think that the best dashboard Is the
old zinc and wood article. There is now one
made of old piece of zinc, as a rubbing
surface, which is very good. The demand for
washboards increases right along, and sup
pose our trade will continue as long as people
put on clean clothes and take OF dirty Ones"

A Troupseof Female Hercuieses.

Col. j. III. Woods muscular females enter
tanned a small crowd at the Minneapolis
Comique last evening. The performance pos
sesseu some good lints aside from its nov

Belle Leslie, the middle ght slugger. we're
Amazonan IN proportions. Hattie stewart
"the female John l.. Sullivan" exhibited a
pair of limbs that would have caused the Co
l0ssus of Rhodes TO turn green with envy, and
Ellen Mari, the Ind an club swinger, was CO.
lOssal in her proportions. The sluggers and
wrestlers wore their hair short, in ACCORDING
with the canons of the profession, and APP
peared in tights and trunks. and wlthal looked
very gamy and pugillstic. Ellen MARI opened
the ball with club-swiDging act, handing
very heavy clubs with apparent ease. Then
there was catch as-catch can wrestling
match between Agnes Fleming and Laura
Henderson, who tugged at each oiherquite sci
entilcally. Henderson won two fails and was
declared the victor. The sparrlng match be-
tween Hattie Stewart and Belle Leslie
aroused considerable enthusiasm. The female
John l.. had great advantage OF weight, but
the middle weight was gamy and scientific.
The contert was unique. The two women
slugged away at each other in dead earnest
IN the closing rounds, and the AFFAIR was quite
rs Interesting as any pair OF mail nippo-
dromers that ever graced the Comlque stage.
Leslie put ia some very hne straight-from-

of the crowd, but tue co hitting OF her pom

evident that the four allotte grounds were all
that she wanted. As ION eXht~ ton of mobile
women in "a noble art" the show was all that
