While talking with James Miller, who
has been a floor walker in one Of New
York's big %emporiums, but has set mp a
store in a neighbOring town for himself,
he said to me: THE newspaper which
will take up the cause of the immature
children who are engaged as cash girls
In the large stores of New York will be
doing a great work for humanity. Ihave
no means of knowing how many cash
girls there are in New York, but should
say about 10000. Fully one-half of them
are under fourteen years of age, and
many even under twelve. They are not
governed by the factory laws of the
states which prohibit the employment of
children below certain ages in factory
work, and they are subjected to drudgery
that is sometimes terrible.
'If l was obliged to make a choice for
my own children of such ages, between
u factory and one of the big stores, |
should choose the factory, where their
labor would be of such character as to
keep them busy all the time. In the
stores they have idle moments, when
they learn all sorts of wickedness New

That great engineering work. the Cor
NTH canal, which will sever the PelOpon-
uesus from the mainland Of Greece, and
will permit tho largest ships to pass
directly from the Gulf Of Athens TO the
Gulf Of Corinth, is said to be rapidly ap-
preaching completion. The canal will
have no locks, but is level from end to
end and perfectly straight, the width
being ninety-six feet and the depth thirty
six. At the Corinth end it is crossed by
n railroad bridge 16i feet high, under
which the tallest ships may pass without
lowering their topmasts.
With the exception OF "A short space in
the center, the channel, it is stated, has
been eKcavated down 70 the sea level,
and water has been admitted for some
distance at the Corinth end, as also at
the other approach. 1t Is assumed that
about 300 vessels from Trieste and Fiume,
and about the same number from Italian
ports, will5pass through the canal an
nually, while it is calculated that he

NEWCASTLE. Pa. july I6.-The Ep-
worth Methodist Episcopal church has
received a legacy OF 81, 900 in very pecu-
liar way. Mary Greer was an eccentric
old lady of nearly four score years. About
four weeks ago.. feeling that her time had
come. she sent for her lawyer and a
friend to make her will. She first asked
to be carried to a woodshed in her yard,
and there she pulled aside some rubbish
and disclosed n can coDtaiping 1900 in
gold. Then the old lady was carried into
the house again aud made a will beaueath-
ing 81, 900 to the church and $500 to the
Newcastle hospital. 1t so happened that
public requests made within thirty DAYS
of the death of decedent do not hold In
law and the good Methodist became a lit
tie anxious as Mrs. Greer became weaker.
One day Pastor Squires called On the dy-
ing woman and informed her OF the pro-
visions of the statute. suggesting that it
she desired the church to have the 81 600
beyond question she bad better pay the
money over before her death. This she
did and he gave his receipt and the con-
gregation is richer by that amount and
poorer by the loss of adevout worshipper.

Stephen Venard, famous as n hunter
of h~ighwaymen, has died at the County
hospital after n lingering illness, at the
age Of sixty-seven years. He came to
Nevada City from Ohio in the early
ffties and engaged in merchandising.
Subsequently he mined and did police
duty here, and was for n time engaged
in cattle raising in Nevada.
On tho morning of May 10, 1866, the
stage from North San Juan in this city
was stopped a few miles from here by
George Shanks, alias Jack Williams;
Bob Finn, alias Cation, and George W.
Moore, who captured 81 300. Nenard,
who participated in the chase a few
hours later, came up with the highway
men in one of the widest and most in
accessible portions of South Yuba canon,
where they divided the spoils. An en-
counter ensued, in which Venard, with
n rifle, killed all three, and escaped un-
hurt.
Governor Low appointed him lieuten-
~ant-colonel on his staff for meritorious
service in the field, and the Wells-Fargo
Express company presented him with a
valuable rifle. He was a man of modest
demeanor, thoroughly temperate, Of the
strictest probity, and not afraid OF any
thing.-Cor. San Francisco Bulletin.

SAN DIEGO, July l6.-At the inquest
on the remains of Brown, one of the
Charleston crew who was killed in the
conflict with deputy marshals Tuesday,
the evidence tends to fix the responsibility
for the killing on the officers. 1t further
appears that the men claiming to be
United States deputy marshals were not
such. and therefore had no authority to
arrest sailors who were ashore. Browns
remains were sent to San Francisco this
afternoon.

Brown, and who are now in prison. 1t

The Torrens system OF land transfers is
dcstinAl to rapidly grow in popularity,

States will be generally adopted, Even
in Wyoming the matter is being carefully
studied, and a bill covering the provisions
of this law. first adopted in South Aus
tralia thirty three years ago, will un-
doubtedly be presented at the next ses-
sion of the state legislature. The system
possesses the merit of being neither ex
pensive nor complicated, while at the
same fine it provides a cloudless title.
Under its operation all titles are guaran-
teed by the state, and land is thereafter
transferred by certificate, brief records OF
which are kept at the office of the recorder

The tender frame to womAn's face,
That pictured all its charms 50 sweet

Deep as the blue of southern skies
And from them glanced a baby smile
My own poor treasure to beguile;
Through every vein. throughout my frame,
There swept a dry. an ardent flame,

with hasty feet, too anxious browed
To cast a glance upon my need.

And turned to bitter all the sweet,

Evil Effects OF Catarrh.

1t has been the rule to consider nasal catarrh
almost entirely a local disease, and one that
has very little effect upon the general system.
All this is being rapidly disproved, and II is
being shown that II the nose is in an un-
healthy state there is quit a long list of affec-
tlons which may be induced in consequence.
Hay fever has often been cured by applica-
lions to certain points in the nasal passages.
Asthma, also, has yielded to the same treat
ment. 1t is n well known fact that when the
victim of catarrh suffers from dyspepsia
scarcely any improvement in the latter can
be made, no matter what is done for 1t, until
the former is on the gain.
Evidence is not wanting to show that severe
functional disturbances of the lungs, and even
of the heart, are sometimes induced by nasal
trouble. Recently there was reported the case
of a woman who had had epilepsy for several
years, and, although she had patiently sought
relief, no improvement took place until appli-
cations were made to her nose and its condi-
tion improved. Under tina line of treatment
entire recovery occurred. Very many other
cases are on record which show that the rela-
ton Of the nose and other parts OF the system
is very intimate, the connection being, OF
course, through the nerve system.
