record than Wheeling, but the atrocious
and brutal details OF the tragedy enacted
on Market street last night fur outstrips
any recorded in the criminal calendars

| In shocking and inhuman butchery by
the White Chapel murders, The place
selected by murderous tends for
their terrible crime was the lot adjoining

augnrate daily maps, to see that only light
work came TO tho hands, to make daily work

And the young girl herself was surprised to
fud how much she enjoyed the life that had
seemed to her mere drudgery.
John, bringing to his task tho same win and
brains that had carried him through college,
was inaugurating new order OF things on the

Once more came June day when Daisy

GeneraI Lee's farewell Address.

The surrender of the Confederate
Army at Appomattox G. H., Va, oc-
Cured April 8, 1865, and Gen. Lees
farewell address to his troops was
read the next day. Gen. Lee enter
tanned tender regard for the SOL
diers, and shared their trials and trib-
ulations like Christian hero. As
an instance of his sQlicitude for the
comfort of soldiers, upon one occa-
sion General Lee had halted the army
near the Rappallannock River for a
day or so. it was in cool Autumn,
and as the General was riding along
the encampmont, he stopped sudden-
" at Chew's Battery. which was quar-
tered on the north side of a hill; then
called Lieut.. Thompson, and gently
reminded him that it was always
more pleasant for soldiers to be
camped on the south side in cool
weather. He continued along the
line, looking after the comfort of other
private soldiers. Is it any wonder
that the men were so strongly at
tached to the great Christian soldier?
Gen. Lees farewell address evinces
unbounded admiration and genuine
sympathy for the gallant heroes who
followed him in victory and defeat 4

The origin of silk manufacture is,
without doubt, to be found in China,
and the classical scholar will readily
remember illusions to it by ancient
writers. For ages it would seem
that the nature and source of silk
were utterly unknown to the western
nations; indeed, it was not until
about the Sixth century that Europe
possessed the worm which spins the
fiber silk.-Neoo York Telegram.
The reason for not disturbing milk
when the cream is rising is a simple
one. The cooling of the milk causes
currents to form in the fluid, the final
end of which is to deposit the fats at
the surface. These little channels
are of downward movement. If we
disturb the pan or can, this newly
introduced agitations destroys these
first perpendicular movements and
turns them out of their direct course,
and theydo not again attain to former
directions, but have an aimIess
course, and so the fats are defeated
from perfect rising.-N. Y. World.

A FATAL LANDSLIDE,
Three Persons Killed and Quite n Number
Seriously Injured.

TROY, n. Y, March ia calamity, re-
sulting in the death of three persons, oc-
CURED in the lower part of the city at
o'clock this morning. Tons of clay and
moistened earth swept down Warren's Hill
and carried before it a double brick house,
situated on the east side OF Haverman's ave-
nue., about 100 feet south of Washington
street. The occupants of the house were 16
in number. The killed are:
MRS. JOHANNA HOGAN, aged 40 wears,
widow.
MRS. MARY NooNAN, her mother, aged IS
wears.
ANNIE BURNS. grandchiId of Patrick Can
field, aged ii years.
One of the most singular features of the
disaster is the fact that all the persons in
the building who were not killed outright,
succeeded in extricating themselves from
the mortar, bricks and timber unassisted.
Before help had arrived they were safe on
the street, mingling with the crowd and
helping in the search for the buried bodies.
The clay bank is hundreds of feet high,
towering at an angle OF 45o from the dwell
lngs on Haverman's avenue.
