Honest.

A gentleman who passed the autumn
some fifty miles from Philadelphia payl
a tribute to the honesty of the Quaker
lady with whom he boarded. He passed
several weeks at her house, and wher
the time came for him to leave. he
packed up his belongings, paid his bill
and said goodbye, leaving the house by
the stage-coach, which, in primitive
fashion, was to take him to the nearest
railway station.
The stage stopped for few moments
at the village postoffice, while the mail
was made up, and the gentleman, sit
ting on the box, saw his land lady com
ing down the street. The driver came
out and mounted to his place, but the
Quakeress made signs to him to wait,
and in a moment she was at the side Of
the coach.
Il found this in thy dressing-table,
she said, extending something wrapped
in a wisp of paper.
What is it?" the gentleman asked,
it being rather difficult to reach down
to where she stood.
She unrolled the wisp of paper with
the greatest gravity, and showed-a dis
carded quill toothpick.
"Oh. thank your the gentleman said,
endeavoring not to smile. 1T is of no
value. You may keep it.
1T is of no value to me-" she re-
sponded, with unmoved seriousness, and
standing upon the step she reached to
him the wisp of paper.
There was manifestly nothing to do
but to take it. and so the ridiculous
scene was ended by the gentleman's
pocketing the quill, and thanking the
bringer as gravely as if it had been a
gold watch.-YoLtHS Companion.

IAthograshs FROM GLASS PlA,as.

A new use has been found for pol
ished plate glass in Germany. says the
National Glass Budget Frederick
Winterhoff, of Cologne, recently ex-
hibited in that city large number of
glass impression plates which will dis
place the use of stone in TYPOGRAPHY.
The advantages claimed for plate glass
are less bulkiness, as much less room is
required to store the prepared plates :
the readiness with which transfers can
be made from them on to stone, zinc or
glass; their freedom from veins and
lime fecks so often occurring in litho-
graphic stones of large size, and the
great factor of cost, the cost of glass
being vanishing quantity when COM
pared to the cost of photographic stone
Transfers from stone require from thirty
to sixty minutes; from glass plates
transfers have been made In ten minutes
and are said to hare been as clear, sharp
and fine lined as is possible IN the best
photographic work heretofore accom-
plished A patent for the new process
OF preparing these glass impression
plates has been applied for and fuller
description of the same is promised by
Diamant, which speaks very highly Of
the work thus far accomplished

Uses of SospstonA

A writer has recently called attention
DO the unappreciated uses and preserva-
tive qualities OF soapstone, IS material,
he SAYS, which possesses what may be
regarded IS extraordinary qualities in
withstauding atmospheric influences,
those especially, which have so much
to do with the corrosion of iron and
steel; and. from experiments made, it
is said that no other material is capable
OF taking hold of the fiber Of iron and
steel so readily and firmly as this In
China soapstone is largely used in pre-
serving structures built Of sandstone
and other stoneS liable to crumbIe from
the effect of the atmosphere; and the
covering with powered sospstone in the
form of paint, on some of the obelisks
in that country, composed of stone
liable to atmospheric deterioration, has
been the means of preserving them in
tact for hundreds OF years.

IRISH POLITICS.

DUBLIN, Dec. 14-Despite the injuries
received by Michael Davitt at Waterford
yesterday. that gentleman is still in the
political field 1t has been determined by
the McCarthyite leaders that Keane, the
nominee of the McCarthyites for the seat
in the house of commons made vacant by
the death of Richard Power should be
withdrawn from the contest and that
Davitt himself should stand as the McCar-
Invite candidate Davitt and William
O'Brien, it will be remembered. had gone
to Waterford to support Keane's candida
ture While they were enroute to the
National Commercial club, where a
McCarthyite meeting was to be held, they
were attacked by the supporters of John
Redmond, the Parnellite candidate, aud
during the melee Davitt received severe
blow on the forehead. This incident
seems to have convinced the McCarthyites
that it would be good politics to 90 into
the Waterford fight with Davitt as their
standard bearer, and, though he had pre-
viously refused to accept the nomination,
the attack upon him yesterday evidently
induced him to change his mind. A con
ference was held with Keane, and shortly
afterward he announced his withdrawal
from the contest. He gave press of busi-
ness as his reason for declining to further
contest the seat. A letter written by
William O'Brien, which is published this
morning, states that Keane was only per-
suaded TO stand in the event OF Davitt
refusing to do so. The newspapers sup
porting the McCarthyite faction are re-
joicing at the fact that Davitt has finally
conclunded to make fight for the seat
himself.

A ElENDISH CRIME

NEW SMYRNA, Fla, Dec. 414,--No posi-
tive cine to the murderer of the inmates
of the Packwood home has yet been found.
There are rumorS of discarded lover who
bad sworn revenge and that robbery was
not the object of the crime. but that it was
rape and murder. Two hundred armed
men with bloodhounds are securing the
country for the murderer. One of the first
men TO reach the house after the alarm
had been given says that Mrs. Harris lay
on her back by a window, in pool of blood,
witha pistol ball wound on the inside cor
ner of her left eve. The other bodies lay near
her When the murderer entered, her lit
tie son, frenzied with fright, probably fed
and sought refuge in the bed clothes of a
bed lounge: He was torn from these, shot
over the left eye and his throat cut in
three places His head was almost severed
from his body.
While the murderer was entering, Miss
Bruce. apparently, secured a pistol and
fired at him, but without effect. The
murderer, needless of this onslaught con-
tinued his terrible work. By this time
Miss Bruce had gone to closet and Sc
cured double-barreled shotgun. She
leveled it at the murderer, but unfOrtu-
nately, both hammers snapped on shells
that had been exploded before. He over
powered her and accomplished his devilish
purpose, probably after killing her little
nephew After this part of the tragedy,
the murderer shot her through the right
cheek
Then there must have been another
struggle for the possession OF the gun. He
tore it from her grasp and drove the stock
against her face with terrible force, crush
ing her skull. Then, with bread knife
he stabbed her in the neck, cutting out n
square section of flesh, and finishing with
two terrible gashes on her throat
frankie Packwood, beautiful little
golden haired child of five years, was
found at the foot of bed, with her throat
cut.
The floors Of both rooms were complete
IL covered with blood, and the mattress of
the bed on which Miss Bruce lay was soggy
with gore. When the neighbors later on
began to clean up the premises, the blood
had TO be carried from the room ia dip
