 tation. When, however, we find a poor washer-woman, too ill to work steadily, too weak from lack of plain, nourishing food, to work if she were we'll, with a sick husband at home and her little daughter i'll with diph- theria, both lacking food and medicine, when, we say, such woman finds in side street a pocketbook containing over four hundred dollars, knowing that no one sees her pick it up and yet, not touching penny of it's con- tents, takes it directly to police station and delivers it intact, we call it, not honesty but actual and absolute heroism.
 Yet such 8 thing happened in this very town not month ago. The woman did not even leave her name. In the pocketbook was found the owners card with his address, and in less than an hour he had his purse and it's contents intact. After long search he found the woman, quietly learned her eir- cumstancss, sent 8 physician to attend her child and thus eaved it's life; sent at the doc- tors suggestion dozen bottles of double ex- tract of Scotch Oats Essence to the paralytic and neuralgia husband, who, thanks % this great nerve and brain food and tonic, is all most well and strong again and almost ready to go to work. Besides this the owner of the lost purse sent the poor woman a check for one hundred dollars and an order on his druggist for as much Scotch Oats Essence as they might require, for the poor woman was weak, sleepless and neuralgia from starva- ton, hard work in hot and cold water and anxiety. The donor knew the value of the gift, for he had himself been saved from melancholia and threatened insanity by this very medicine, due to sleeplessness and ex- haustion from overwork. He is one of our best known lawyers.

How an Eastern Magician Destroyed Many Dogs in a Surprising Way.
 From the Cosnopolitan,1


 Many Dogs in a Surprising Way.
 From the CosmopotanI
 In Batavia Parsee juggler treated the Dutch residents to a novel mantanZa, or killing show, in the circus of the old city bull-ring.
 His victims were a number of worthless CUTS which their owners or captors had brought along with the distinct understand ing that their entries would not survive the incidents of the performance. With no weapon but a light stick (possibly g tube), some six feet long by an inch in diameter, the performer entered the arena, and then invited his patrons to start their pets one at a time. lank hound, almost hairless with mango, opened the festivities by making 8 rush around the ring, but stopped short on finding his WE. barred by the still tanker professor, and retreated after displaying his few remaining teeth. The necromaneer held his staff at arms length, still facing the dog, who presently began to stagger, and two minutes after had expired in convulsions. A second cur managed to run the blockade by leaping over the extended staff, but soon after began to show signs of distress, and before the end of the third minute had shared the fate of his predecessor. Dog af- ter dog entered the ring in quick succession, some of them stopping in surprise and sniff ing at the corpses of their doomed forerun- ners, but all finally approached the professor of the fatal secret, or even snapped at his naked shins, and not one of the one thou sand spectators saw him strike direct blow or defend himself in any way suggesting 8 mechanical explanation of the uniform re- suit. He would merely lift his staff with a menacing gesture or permit blockade-run- ner to touch it in darting by, but in no in- stance was there occasion for repeating that touch. The victims had hardly time to com plete the circuit of the ring before their gait underwent a peculiar change; they would drag themselves along and stagger, or start as under sudden blow, then roll over and die in the convulsions characterizing the eff fects of certain virulent drugs. They had evidently been poisoned; but how? post mortem inquest failed to reveal as much as 8 scratch or @ puncture. A poisoned arrow could not have entirely disappeared, while a gaseous poison would have betrayed itself by it's odor or by it's effects on the person of the performer. After the conclusion of the ma tanza Mr. Gerstacker secured private inter view with the artist, and in vain offered him liberal ipducement to explain the modus opersndi of his trick. The Parsee seemed bribe proof, but at last took his tempter aside and in whisper guaranteed the results of his professional assistance if mynheer should wish to try the efficacy of his art by an experiment on two-legged subject-ths amount of the proffered compensation having evidently suggested conjecture that the en- terprising foreigner was contemplating the removal of some obnoxious fellow biped!

 TRIAL NORTH GUILFoRD THIEF.
 Kopf, the alleged North Guiford postoffice thief, will be tried by Judge Torrance today. Superior Court Civil Side-Judge
 Phelps.
 The Culver divorce case occupied the attention of Judge Phelps court yesterday afternoon. The defense began it's side, and Attorney Linsley, for Mrs. Culver, proposes to impeach the important witness who watched Mrs. Culver, and claims that she was guilty of intimacy with Horse Jockey Cur tiss. The defense will show if the evidence is ad- missible, it claims that Culver had previous wife whom he ill-treated, neglected. and who final ly got a divorce from him, whereupon he married the present Mrs. Culver as she was divorced from Judge Pickett's son.
 Mrs Culver took the stand at about o'clock and directly contradicted many points in the testimo- ny offered by her husbands supporters.
 Among some of the points she testified to was that a man by the name of Porter in her husbands employ came to her on the Saturday bs.ore last Christmas and tried to have her go to Long Island He then told her that her husband said that her dsnSSTgh shs anu then 'n % tsid '' hI@ k1 10 sdy sSe that e Sud her band would win the case. She finally got. rid of him by telling him that she would not settle for less than i've thousand dollars. During all the testi- mony Porter sat in the spectators box and stared at the wall while the people in the court room gazed at him and smiled. And finally Mr. Bush took her in hand the cross examination. He could not confuse her. The case will be continued this morning. when the cress-examination of Mrs. Culver will be finished
