1t Was Given Away by n Negro Named
Albert johnson.
1t is now certain that the Shea raid was
given away before the policemen, under Ser
geant Daley. reached the house. A negro
named Albert johnson, who spends much of
his time on the sidewalk about the neighbor-
hood Of the Police Court, and who does odd
jobs for lawyers, Is the individual who gave
the information to Lawyer Eugene j. b.
O'Neill. This lawyer defended Shea when
he was tried months ago. and the negro
naturally supposed that he would appear
this time in the same capacity. The war
rant was sworn out Monday. and that after
noon johnson told O'Neill about 1t. He
claimed that another negro named Ian
caster, who is known to the police as
Lang, told him about the intended raid,
and wanted $50 for the information. Law
yer y Neill told a Star reporter thfs morning
tnat he assured the negro that he would
pay the money for the information IL 1t was
a put-up job and he would tell how the
JoD was fixed. This, Of course, was to be
PAID In the event of ONeilrs employment
as counsel. But ONeill was not employed
IN the case and 1t Is needless to say that

Lawyer Shillington was employed in the
case and he will defend Shea. The colored

HEALTH OF THE CITY,
Favorable Conditions Were the Feat
ures of the Past Week.

Favorable Conditions Were the Feat.
ures of the Past Week.
A low death rate has prevailed during
another week. AS favorable as was the last
report by the health department it has been
followed by still further improvement in
the rate Of mortality throughout the city.
The decline from week before last is COM
paratively small, but the reports indicate
the almost total absence of contagious dis
eases in fatal form and a material decline
In the sickness among young children.
There was no death from either diphtheria
or scarlet lever reported, while there were
seven fatal cases denominated as typhoid
fever against six during the same period
last year and eight in the year previous to
that. But few aged people were called
hence. and in general terms it may be said
that there was marked repression in the
prevalence of constitutional ailments.
The report for the week ending Septem-
Der 10 is as follows: Number of deaths-9O;
white, 80; colOred, 81 Death rate per 1000
per annum-White. 1872; colored, 17.9; total
population, 1874. Twenty-eight were under
nve years OF age. q were under one year
old and II over sixty years. Twelve of the
deaths occurred in hospitals and public in
situations.
The deaths by classes were as follows:
Zymotic. Is; constitutional, Ii; local, AZ;
developmental. 4; violence, g.
The principal causes of death were: Con-
sumption, 9; diarrhoeal, u: typhoid fever, 4:
malarial, 3; pneumonia, 2; congestion of the
lungs, 2; bronchitis, 1; whooping cough, -
kidney diseases. ]; meningitis. 1; cancers, 3.
Births reported-Thirty-two white males,
32 white females, % colored males, q col
ored females. Marriages reported-Twenty-
eight white, IL colored. Stillbirths reported
Five white, colored.

From Harper's Bazaar.
One of the most distasteful of housekeep-
Ing duties is the weekly mending, and still
worse the monthly mending-for the inch
darn that. would have been all sufficient
three weeks earlier now demands a full
half hour of steady work that raises strong
doubts as to. whether the game is worth
the candle, while toes and heels have come
through stockings that needed only a few
stitches when first noticed. The woman
who hesitates about m ending at the outset
nipping decay in the bud, as it were, is as
suredly lost so far as any further satisfac-
ton in the neglected garments is concern
ed, and every time they are washed fresh
gaps are sure to appear.
The smallest thin place should be dsrned
as evenly as though it were embroidery,
and the dGrning stitch is often used for this
purpose. When fine and regular, the work
is really beautiful, and in imparting this
fact to child will greatly mitigate the
woes of her first lesson in darning The
evenness and regularity of a darn give it
dignity and elevate it into a work of art.
1t is important, however, to know when
to darn and when not to darn, as most wo-
mems time in these busy days is of far
more value than ordinary material in
half-Worn condition.

From the LODdOn Hospital.
Why do joints work so easily and never
give us any pain? In fresh joint its ap-
pearance in life can be readily studied. In
the ball and socket joint the round end of
the bone, as well as the cup, are covered
or lined with a smooth substance called
Cartilage" or 'gristle," kept moist and
smooth with synovia. Cartilage contains
no nerves. and has no feeling; if it had, we
should have pain when we moved The
bones are kept in place at the joints by
very strong bands or ligaments; in hinge
joints a number of these bands are fastened
above and below, but in ball and socket
joints they also surround the joint, forming
a cap, in which the joint moves freely
In disease this smooth cartilage gets worn
away, and the ends of bone rub together
like those of a skeleton; the pain is great
because the bones have nerves, though the
cartilage has none. A bone without carti-
lage is like a decayed tooth with an exposed
nerve. In a healthy tooth the nerve is
well covered and gives no pain; and in a
healthy bone the nerves are there, but they
are only felt when the cartilage is worn
away.

A good story is told Of timid clergyman
just arrived from a trip abroad. Coming
home on the Berlin the weather was alarm
ingly tempestuous. The wind blew a hur-
ricane, the vessel naturally rolled, and the
parson took fright. He left his state room
and staggered along to the Office Of John
Kavanaugh, the purser, who is a bit of a
wag, and said:
I'm sure Mr.. Purser, you'll pardon me,
but 1 feel so dreadfuliy agitated. Kindly
inform me. are we in any positive danger?"
Kavanaugh replied: Come with me a mo-
ment," and he led the way to the forecastle
Now" continued he. bend your ear down
there and tell me what you hear
The sailors were. swearing in their happy
go-lucky, unconscious way.
"How shocking! What language!" groan-
ed the parson, trembling from head to foot.
Now, do you for a moment think that
those sailors would go on in that profane
fashion If there was real danger" asked
the conSoling Kavanaugh.
True true" replied the parson, some
what Gained by the assurance. "One nay
sometimes pluck the sweet flower of COM
fort from the vile cloaca of sin. The ways
of Providence are indeed inscruta able" and
back he crawled to his room in Il degree
treasured.
Two hours later the storm had increased
in violence, the wind ragged and howled
more wildly, and huge waves broke over
and seemed to submerge the great ship.
The parson was out of his room again,
more scared than before, and was seen
silently, nervously fumbling his way along
the wet deck to the forecastle He was
deadly pale and trembled with excitement.
He listened. The sailors were shouting
and tremendous oath amid the din reach
ed his ear.
THANK heaven" r-urmured he. "They
are still at it. They stu blaspheme. There
is no danger yet, the Lord be praised!'

From Forest and Stream.
Every once and a while discussion
arises over the use of the definite article
before the name of yacht, the omission of
the article being often derided by Ameri-
cans as an affectation peculiar to Anglo
maniacs. In the report of a race which We
republsh from the London Times, 1t will
be seen that the writer, we believe Mr.
Harry Horn, the leading English yachting
reporter, follows no definite plan, but
speaks, in one place of "Figilant." and in
arCther of 1.-THE Vigilant." and the same
lack of system is seen in other English
papers, the article being employed in one
line and omitted in the next. Looking at
any vessel, much more such a yacht as
Gloriana. Nigiant Britannia, as some
wood, something far more fully endowed
than most other of mans creations with
life and an individuality of her own, we
have always preferred to the simple
name of the yacht. without the article or
quotation marks, tribute 10 the higher
qualities of n yacht which we believe she
fully merits. There are some cases in
which it seems natural TO apply the article
before the name of a working vessel or
even a steam yacht, but certainly the true
sailing yacht is entitled to this much recoy-
milton of her superiority to dry dock or a
