arrived in this city last night from
Cooper county a young woman has
become a raving maniac from grief
caused by the murder of her father
followed by the arrest of her two
brothers, alleged to be responsible
for the crime. The woman is Miss
Mollie E. Ehrhardt and she liz 90
years of age. Her brother, Louis
Ehrhardt, accompanied her to asylum
No. 3.
The first report concerning the
murder was that on the night of the
7th inst. the old gentleman, Louis
Ehrhardt, had been killed by rob.
bers and the house burglarized. The
old man was found dead with bull
let wound in his stomach. Suspicion
however, rested asains: the two sous

arrested and placed under bonds oi

the grand jury. The officials at the
asylum report the patient as rather

Weird and ellin though our race,
We inhabit every place,
And through all the day attend
On your steps wher'er they wend,
And though you regard us not
We sti, follow to your cot.
All day long our patience broods
In the forests solitudes.
All day long we dance and play
Till the night shuts out the day,
Though beneath the silver moon
Oft we dance to fairies tune.
Ne'er word from us is heard,
For we qua nd the western bird.
When the fierce sun drives us thence,
We creep down beneath the fence,
And behind each stump we get
Long before the sun is set;
Or we frolic in the pool
Where the wandering breeze is cool.
We are not welcome guest
When one is supremely blest,
But we creep all unperceived
When the heart is sorely grieved,
And beneath our subtle weight
Life Is rendered desolate.
Happy hearts we never seek,
And we shun the gay and meek.
But the sinner in his lair
Haunt we with our grim despair,
And unwelcome though we be
Leave him naught but misery.

The New NAVY.

The largest gun which we are to mount
on board the new ship is the thirleen-inch
gun, weighing GO tons. The shell of this
gun weighs 100 lbs, and the charge is 900
lbs. As the prUjectlle leaves the muZzle
of the gun it will strike IA blow equal to
that struck by one ton of iron ii it fell
from n height of six aud three-tenths
miles. AT distance of one mile the
prOjeCtile will perfOrate y inches of steel.
Its range is IL miles, to which distance
il fires the prOiectile in about one min
ute; and it costs $275 to fire the gun with
full service charge. The secondary bat
teiy will consist of "A rapid-firing guns,
which will fire prujectiles weighing from
one to one hundred pounds. These guns
are well-named. The sX-inch guns,
which fire proiectiles weighing 100 lbs.
can fire five shots in two minutes and 81
seconds; aud II rapidity of five shots in
IA seconds has been attained from the
fOur-inch guns, whose prueCtiles weigh
33 pounds, the firing being so rapid that
five shells can be kept in the air together.
The secondary battery of the new battle
slips will fire $50 shots in one minute,
and if all the guns of the ship are fired
at once they will fire over three tons Of
metal at IA single discharge. The armOr
of our new ships will be made from nick
elsteel, treated by the Harvey process.
From actual experimental firing it has
been shown at our naval proving ground
that this armor is superior to all others
1t is so tough that five shells, each
weighing $50 lbs, were fired against q
plate at distance of only 30 feet, and
they did not crack the plate, although

Self Praise.

Self praise is no recommendation, but there are times when ons must permit a person to tell the truth about himself. When what he says is sup ported by the testimony of others no reasonable man will doubt his word. Now, to say that ALLcocK's POROUS PLASTER are the only genuine and re- liable porous plasters made is not self praise in the slightest degree. They have stood the test for over thirty year., and in proof of their merits it is only necessary to call attention to the cures they have effected and to the voluntary testimonials of those who have used them.
 Beware of limitations and do not be deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for ALLcoCK's and let no solicita- ton or explanation induce you to ac- cept 6 substitute.
