HIS CHOSEN HOME.
A LoveIorn Man Who Has Lived in Jail
 Twenty-Three Years

A LOveloTn Man Who Has Lived in Jail
 Twenty-Three Years
 William Rothwell has been in the Ded- ham (Mass.) jail twenty-three years. Rothwel is sixty-eight years old. and for the many years he has been in jail he has made and mended the clothing of hundreds of prisoners. ROthwell came from a wealthy family in Eng land and was well educated. When first known in Dedham he was arrested by Officer George E. Morse for drunken ness. While serving sentence at the jail he showed aptness as a tailor, although never before having had eX- perience at the trade. After serving his sentence he was given some money by the sheriff or officials in charge of the jail, and he left town. He re- mained away but few days, however. Upon his return he went to Officer Morse and requested that charge be made against him either of drunken ness or vagrancy. A charge was made. he pleaded guilty and he was returned to jail, and ROthwen has continued this course for the last twenty-three years.
 Although age bears its mark, his countenance shows refinement. He has become very deaf. He can be seen by any visitor in the guard room of the jail seated upon his bench, plying his needle through the garments worn by the prisoners. He has a brother, a wealthy merchant in New York city, who recently visited him. He has been repeatedly entreated by his relatives, not only in New York, but in Lanca- shire, England, to leave his prison home and live with them. but he says: II am contented in the home that I chose twenty-three years ago, and l shall not leave it SO long as I can re- main there, either by hospitality or le- gal sentence by the courts
 Rothwell's life has romance. When a young man at college he fell in love with wealthy young English lady She accepted his attention as a suitOr Money he had in plenty. and being young, spirited and kind of heart had many boon companions. He began to drink and the young woman discarded him. He then left his native land and went to Australia. For several years none of his relatives knew where he was, until twenty-three years ago he sent a letter to his mother in England, telling her where he was. He has the freedom of the jail at Dedham, and the guard room would be lonesome to the officers without his presence.

The man who ''saws wood and szyr nothing" is regarded by many as about the highest type of American manhood Of course this silent citizen does not say wood for fun, nor merely for his health It is doubtful. however, if he ever sawed to better purpose than did a young wom- an in Columbus, Ind, few days ago, tc whom a merchant of that place offered twenty yards of silk for a dress if sht would saw half a cord of wood in front of his store. She borrowed saw and went through the wood pile in exactly three hours, and the admiring crowd bought her twelve dollar hat to go witk the dress. The compensation was liberal and the young woman had the satisfac tion of showing, in the language of San Patch, that ''some things can be done as well as others. s."-Indianapolis Journal.

Ar1 of PoisOninp.

All that eminent chemists know about pOisons has lately been told to the crowd of interviewing journalists who have waited upon them. and the papers have published columns upon columns of toxicOiogy, says a Paris correspond ent of the London Truth. Every body now knows that there are animal all1a- loids arising from decomposition which are deadly pOisOns, but whose traces in a corpse are no proof of suicide or mur- der, because a body itself produces eX- aetly the same alkaioidS soon after death. NJ. Naquet, who, after being fascinated by tOXicology, turned natur- ally to politics, tells us that this subtle poison can be manufactured with the greatest ease by those who understand how to do it. Inquiring people who have a taste for murder combined with chemistry will doubtless master the process as the anarchists have already mastered that of manufacturing eXplo- e,,

States in Congress, July 4th, 1776, among other things, declared that all men are created equal. which as mat ter of course included women, who are in social standing, the peers of men, and it claimed "that the haad that rocks the cradle rules the world" which we are not prepared to deny; but We do deny that few Jumps of female morta- lity shall determine who is, and who is not endowed with blue blood, such as entities them to ba the associates of ofic srs' wives in the United States army, for the reason that the vital fluid that filled the veins oI our first father Adam, and our frst mother Eve, is aaalytically the same as tAa: which keeps Emperors, Kings and LoIds alive.
 No one on this mysterious earthly soil, which sometimes produces very small potatoes from mammoth seeds, can lay claim to 'primOrdial nobility"
 
 not worthy of admission into army cir c'es on account of obscure origin is egregrious snobbery. As we'll derogate the diamond on account of its being dug from among the scruff and dand- ruff that covers the cuticle of mo.her earth, or detract frcm the beauties Of the blooming rose because it sprang from earth and manura.
 The King of Heaven Himself Jour Lord and Saviour) was born 3 a stable. cradled in a mGnager, and wrapped ID the commonest of swaddles Bagat by a carpenter, born of an humble maid. and plqyed among the chips and shay ings that fell from ths a6zs and plare Yet, with all his humility, he was ''the greatest Of the great, and the mighties of the mighty" and now it may be asked, are we not made of the same material? Do we not brea ;he the same atmosphere, and shall We not, at least, be put to bed with a shovel.
 These reflections are suggested by newspaper comments upon the extra ordinary action of the military, in as- suming to dictate whom captain in the army shall marry. In consequence of Capt. H. NJ. Taylor, of the 18th h. tantery, U. $. A., marring a woman who worked for living, he is officially charged with marrying "wage worker" and therefore guilty of conduct unbecoming sn officer and a gentleman" in this. that he married a woman below the grade of the wives of his fellow officers. and that their feelings had been outraged by be ng crought into contact with one of their own sex that is & plane beneath them, being domestic before she married, and not for any other alleged re ison.
 In the case referred to the proceed ings of the court martial were adjourned by the following dispatch:
 CHICAGo, H., Feb. 7.-The trial of Capt. Taylor is adjourned until further notice. The court martial will remain in session of Fort Wayne.
 MAJ. GEN. NELSON 4. MILES,
 Commanding.
 If the charge, as stated, was the only cauee for coavenIng the court, for the trial of Capt. Taylor. it would seem that those preferring the charge, and convening the court, should themselves be overhauled on the charge of snob- bery, and bringing the army into con- tempt and ridicule.

USE LIVING SPECIMENS.
Patent Medicine Agents Are Making g New Departure to Sell Their Wares.

Patent Medicine Agents Are Making a
 New Departure to Sell Their Wares.
 There are indications that the patent medicine trade, like the book trade, is falling into the hands of canvassers. The medicine vender is now frequently met with in Maine villages and on the country roads, says the Lewiston Journal. Another feature fast de veloping ln the business is the use of "the living specimen" to furnish con- vincing proof of the efficacy of the con- coctiOn. From the old-time plain certi- ficate cure, the next step was to print the picture of the person on whom the miracle was performed.
 Now, the foremost in this race for trade are introducing personally to sufferers the cured person, whose per sOnal statement. like that of the witness in court, is more effective than any cer- tificate could be. In one Maine village the officers of both agent and witness are united in the same person, and he does a thriving business buttonholing the farmers and other visitors to the place, exhibiting himself as one rescued from the grave. Under the new sys- tenn, to be sick may be no misfortune, provided one gets well and can at tribute his case to a patent medicine. It may result in good salary.

The jewel, it is .firmed, possesses the quality of sucking lp the poison of the deadliest snake il applied to the wounded part.

NO POLITICS ABOUT SILVER.

In his speech iu the United State, Senate last week, Mir, Teller, of Colorado made this explanation of the status of silver: ''The question of the use of silver is not and never has been a political question and, in my judgement, it will not be political question at this sesei .p of Congress nor at the next. I do noi even believe that the incoming admin stratIon, whatever shall be the molina tion of the executive who is to be in augurated on March 4, can make the abandonment of the use of silver in thiA country as money distinctive feature of that admiDistration-for that is pr ac ticallY what ths repeal of the act of 1SSO means-unless it shall be accompa- med by some legislation touching the further and continued use of silver. find iu the public press number of al lusions to the repeal of this law. I fin6 the declaration in one of the New York papers that distinguished gentleman had appeared here and had come out as authoratively as he might, stating that the incoming president of the United States had determined that the Sherman act should be repealed at this session.
 "Just exactly what the president-elect may have to do with this subiect-edu- oated as I have been in 8 school which recognized the right of the legislative. department to determine questions Of this kind-I am unable to determine. have always supposed questions of this kind were remitted by the constitution. by the laws, by the policy of our govern ment and the politics of parties on botb sides in this country to the legislative department. cut from a N. I. paper an editorial which appears to have been issued on behalf of the incoming admin istration with authority. l will not as sert that it Is by authority: I will no, assert that it has attracted the attention of the incoming president or anybody who is very closely connected with him yet it seems to comport with the general tenor of the reports which come from all secsioEs of the country from those who profess to stand nearest to him."
 Senator Teller gave as his opinion that the position taken by Mr. Cleveland was not in good taste if it appeared that the newspaper statements concerning it were authorstive.

 According to tine best writers In tue subject. it has been ascertalned that in beginning to sleep the senses do not anitedly fall into state of slumber, but drop off one after the other. The sight ceases, in consequence of the protection of the evelids, to receive impressions first, while all the other senses preserve their sensihility entire. The sense oi taste is the next which loses its suscepti bility to impressions, and then the sense of smelling.
 Tine hearing is next in order, and last of all comes the sense of touch. Fur thermore. the senses are thought to sleep with different degrees of profoundness. The sense of touch sleeps tine most lightly and is the most easily awakened: the next easiest is the hearing; the next is the sight, and the taste and smelling awake the last.

Ksrosene Oil for Cleaning stra,r

Kerosene has been put 70 so many uses of late that it will soon be difficult task to say what this oil will not do. We were rather surprised, however, to see g thrifty maiden cleaning an old straw hat with cloth wrung out of the oil. Ii was an expensive braid, but had a dusty look, which the oil took away complete. ly. It is necessary to air articles cleaned in this way thoroughly, not only to re move the odor, but to insure it against being inhamInable.
