Almy Sentenced to Death.

Judge and jury would probably
have made a very short shrift for
Murderer Almy yesterday had it not
been that the law of New Hampshire
gives assassins a year for repentance.
Almv cannot be executed until after
November 10, 1892, and the Court
fixed the execution for the first Tues
day of December following. Consid-
ering that Chief Justice Doe is OPP
posed to capital punishment that is
quite as Dor as could be expected.
But the public would be better
pleased if Mr.. Frank Amy were to
be made Minister Plenipotentiary to
the Court of his Satanic Majesty,

ceinber next instead of a year hence.
Such men as he are entitled TO very
little consideration at the hands Of

his final exit. He certainly gave his

An Eye-opener.

This is a very funny discovery Of
F%reeholder Nelson's about the County
road. For two years we have had it
drummed into us, that 81, 900, 900 was
plenty of money for the project. Now,
it appears, that at least So, 600, 900 will
be needed, perhaps So, SOC, 900.
There is an old saying that whom
the gods wish TO destroy, they first
make mad.n
1t seems to us to apply strangely to
the politicians of Hudson county.

Republican hIahberrast.

The New York public, and indeed
the public of the whole country, seem
to have been under a strange mis-
apprehension about the use of bull
doing methods in New York cleo
tons. The popular notion has been
that John l. Davenport was a Repub-
lican, and that his wholesale arrests
Of voters were made in the interest of
the Republican party.
This, it appears, is all wrong. That
awful Tammany is to blame forit. So
we gather, at least, from the resolu-
tions recently adopted by the New
York Republican County Commit
tee, as follows
Resolved, That we thoroughly condemn the
methods OF Intimidation and the use of money
by the Democratic party throughout the State,
methods employed by Tammany Hall in the
city and county of New York.
This is pretty talk from the party
OF Wanamaker and Dudley and John
!. Davenport, a party whose degrade
ton of the franchise is so gross as to
outweigh in every honest mind all the
good that the Fathers of the party
ever thought of doing. Why, if the
Democracy wanted to buy New York
State, it has not the money. 1t has
no horde OF bloated protectionists at
its hack

Jessica's Brother ssmioa.

A certain witty young Englishman
has a young sister by the name of
Jessie, who was sent to a fashionable
school for young ladies, according to
London Tit Bats. He said when she
left home she wondered il she would
acquire the airs and affectations that
certain young ladies that he knew had
by attending the fashionable semi
nary. After being there a year he be-
gan to fiatter himself that his sister
was proof against such nonsense,
when he received a letter signed
"Jessica,n instead of Jessie, as here
to lore. In answering lie wrote some
thing like this:-"Dear Sister Jessica
Your welcomb letter received.

An Accident Drawer.

The accident drawer or shelf, ought
to be an institution in every family,
for the articles belonging to it are
frequently needed, often instantly,
and are rarely to be found quickly
when an accident comes, unless there
is a place for them; and accidents in O
family of children are the unexpected
things that always happen. Keep all
the old handkerchiefs. both linen and
silk; rolls of soft old linen; several old
gloves of various sizes; a box of glove
fingers; a spool of strong cotton, or
one of silk which is even better, and a
small needle-book with several needles
of large size. Have also two rolls
of bandages, one wide and the other
narrow; a sheet of adhesive plaster,
and a paper of arnica plasters; bottles
of Ponds extract; a pair of sharp scis-
sors, and your accident shelf is COM
plete for all home needs, or will fur
nish what is needed until the arrival
Of the doctor. In Ease of a burn where
the skin is broken, cover the spot as
soon as possible with a thick coating
of -four, preferably wheat -four; if the
skin is not broken. put on lime water
and wrap in soft linen dipped in it,

To Wash Black Lace.

Laces are SO much worn at present
that a reliable method of washing
black lace is likely to be of service.
Directions for washing white lace are
so often given that one is not likely to
fail in that. Put your lace to soak in
water enough to cover it, to which you
have added two teaspoonfuls of borax
to every half pint of water, and the
same quantity of spirits of wine.
Rinse the lace through this several
times and rinse again in clear water.
Soft water is preferable. Meantime
boil a black kid glove-a glace kid and
not a Suede-in a pint of water until
it is reduced one half. Rinse the lace
through this and squeeze it as dry as
possible. This will give it just the
slight stiffness desirable. Take a hard
board, with a cloth tackled smoothly
over it; spread the lace on this,
stretching the pattern out nicely,
spread a second cloth over; then
another board, and weights. Leave
it in this press for two days. II care
fully renovated by this process even
rusty black lace looks fresh and new.

THE MARRIAGE QUESTION.
Can Any Rule be Set Down as to
the Women Men Prefer?

The Spectator of last week has an
article which points out to young
ladies anxious to marry that men pre-
fer as wives plain and clever girls to
pretty simpletons, because beauty is
evanescent; culture teaches girls how
to count, with the result that they
are not extravaganza, and that the ed
ucated girl is more affectionate than
the ~uneducated, says a writer in Lon
don Truth. The moral OF this is
Be clever and be well educated, for
then you will get a husband, whether
you are pretty or the reverse Igreat-
ly question this view Of matrimony.
As a rule, / should say that clever
men do not want their wives to be
particularly clever.
As for education increasing affec-
ton. or cleverness hindering extrav-
agance, experience is rather the other
way. If | were a girl on the lookout
for a husband, Ishould play the game
by adroitly hattering my conten-
plated victim; listening with rapt at
tention when he spoke, and generally
seeking to create the impression on
him that / thought him. in wisdom
and in charm, not inferior to the
angels. AT the same time | should
endeavor. indirectly, to bring home to
him the fact that in me he would find
a person with a heavenly temper,
Drumming over with domestic atfec-
ton. l should take care to be be-
comingly dressed, but my s'get-up"
would look as if it cost nothing. |
should eschew slang and manly games,
and l should be severely proper in
my general behavior. In my move
ments l should cultivate grace, and
with this object / should secretly take
lessons in dancing from Miss Lefty
Lind. My likes and dislikes would be
those of my victim.
In the present day a man rarely de-
liberately contemplates marriage. He
likes toying with the hook, but he
does not intend to swallow it. The fly
has, therefore, to be very adroitly
thrown to catch him. The mistake
girls make is not to distinguish be-
tween flirting and fishing. One hears
a good deal about the vanity of wom-
en-. Men are just as vain, and it is by
keeping this fact well in mind that a
girl gets a husband. | take the world
as it is, and / would back the girl who
follows my advice in the matrimonial
stakes against the girl who acts on The
recommendations of the Spectator.

in repute. Pythagoras and Xenocrates
cured maniacs by melodious sounds;
and, coming down to modern times,
music as a cure for insanity is alluded
to by Shakespeare in Richard II"
(act V, scene 3, where the kingsays:-
This music MAIDS me, Let It sound no more,
For though it help madmen TO their wits,
In me it seems it VIII make wise men mad.
Burton, also, in his ANATOMY of
Melancholy" has given an account of
the medical qualities of music, telling
us Thai "besides that power it hath to
expel many other diseases, it is a rem
edy against despair and melancholy,
and will drive away the devil him
self" Indeed, music may be said to
form an interesting and important
chapter in the history of medicine of
bygone years, numerous remedies
from it's effects being recorded in
medical and other works.
N. Burette was of opinion that
music has the power of affecting tn e
whole nervous system so as TO give
a temporary relief in certain diseases, !"
and Jacques Bonnet tells how on
occasion he was entertained by a
friend, then in the service OF the
Prince Of Orange, with the perform
ance of three first rate musicians.
This was the remedy, he informed
him, which his master employed to
get rid of melancholy whenever

A Lamb for the First Tooth.

A Lamb for the First Tooth.
In Iceland, that country of gentle
and old-fashioned customs, it has al
ways been the fashion to present to
the baby, when it's first tooth APP
peared, a lamb, to be it's very own,
cared for and tended as no other pet
could be, and never to be parted with.
Such a present was Daisy, the queen
of the lamb flock, and she grew apace
as did her owner, and when he was
ten years old, a hardy shepherd lad,
she had become old, toothless and
lame. She could no longer go away
to pasture with the herd, or a her
fill of grass, even in the pleasant mid
summer weather. Her faithful young
master was, however, mindful of her
needs. He had not forgotten that
every year she had given him a little
lamb, and in her old age she had a
corner in the family living room,
where she could see familiar faces
and hear the voices she loved best.
Many times a day she was fed from a
bottle, and many times a week taken
out for fresh air when the days were
mild and balmy.-Detroit Free Press.

CatarrI1

Is a complaint so common that comparatively
few people are entirely free from it, SO insidious
that it gains a firm hold almost before its vic
are aware of its presence, SO dangerous as
TO serio usiy threaten the general health, and
liable to develop into bronchitis or
Consumption.
1t is a mistake to consider Catarrh merely a
local troubls. 1t is unquestionably a disease of
the blood, and therefore the right way to cure
Gaia rrh is to remove from the blood the impure
ties which cause and feed it. This is to be done
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great blood
purifier, which effectually expels all traces of
poison and germs of disease.
floods Sarsaparilla cured me of Catarrh,
and built up my general health, so that l am
feeling better than for years.

William j. Florence.

The death of William J. Florence
will be sincerely regretted, not in his
profession alone but in the world that
he has SO frequently made happier
for the moment, if.not better. He has
been a prominent figure on the stage
for nearly half a century-forty-two
years, to be exact-and has been
prominent almost from the very out
set of his career. He graduated from
The old Murdoch Association, of New
York, which gave so many good
actors to the stage, in 1S49, at Rich
mond, and less than three years after
was playing a star engagement in the
great city that for so many years he
made his home. He was equally sue
cessful in England. His wife, for
merry one of the Pray Sisters, shared
his success both at home and abroad.
Mr.. Florence will be chiefly re-
meinbered by theatre-goers OF later
days by the engagement he played
with Joseph Jefferson.
Personally Mr. Florence was as
popular as Professionally. Warm
hearted, jovial and generous, his per-
sonality was as magnetic in private
life as on the stage.
