lottesville Progress says:
1.-THE public sale of personal prop
erty, ETC., at "Castalia" last Thursday
was attended by a large crowd, not
withstanding the ''beastly" looking
day and the horrible condition of the
roads. The bidding commenced in q
spirited fashion, and at no time during
the day did it lag to any great extent.
The prices realized were excellent.
Only a part of the personally was sold,
a~ggregating perhaps $500. "Castalia"
is one of the best known places in Abe
marie county and was recently sold by
Mr.. Bartlett Boiling to Mr.. Maury Boo
cock for Sl5, 900. The farm is about
four miles north of Keswick, near
Bowlesville, and is considered one of
the best places in the county. 1t is
beautifully situated, lays well, and is
adapted to all kinds of crops. Mr..
Boocock, the purchaser, is quite a
veung man, and recently came here
from Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr.. Boiling has
purchased another farm not far from
keswick, and will soon move to it. He
is a good citizen, kind neighbor and
iovial companion. and will be sadly
missed in the community. Everybody
is glad that he will remain in Abe

Mr.. Boiling is well-known in this
city where he married and has many

Shooting ARRAY.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March q. w.
Denning, a painter, was shot last night
by Mrs. Wrench and fatally wounded.
After receiving the bullet Denning drew
his pistol and a duel ensued between
the woman and the man. Mrs. Wrench
was wounded in the arm and in the
leg. Denning is shot through the
bowels. The woman was divorced
from her husband some months ago.
Since then she has been Denning's mis-
tress and it was because Denning was
going to leave her that she shot him.

If THE government were forced to
sell all its stored silver now, at the cur
rent rates of that article, it would lose
nearly one hundred and ninety million
dollars, by the difference between the
price of the metal now and that at
which it was bought. And yet there
are people who argue that silver is as
good money as gold. But there isn't
one of them who would sell his farm,
or his house, with the understanding
that it would be paid for with silver
dollars, or who wouldn't kick against
receiving his salary as congressman in
such dollars. Money to be good must
not be of variable value.

TO the capture of the Maryland ~dredgers by

THE legal penalty of crime is exact
ed, not for the purpose of intlicting suf-
fering upon the criminals, but with the
object OF lettering others from commit
ting similar o%ilenses. The ghoulish glee
certain New York republican and
mugwump newspapers manifest at the
conviction of M'Kane, the ex-political
boss of Gravesend, indicates that they
have a personal spite against him, and
naturally creates popular sympathy in
his favor, and therefore utterly de-
stroys the entire effect intended to be
produced by his Imprisonment.

from Virginia for invading Maryland

. Needed Reform In Telegraphy.

At a recent competitive trial OF skill be-
tween telegraph operators one OF the most
interesting features was a test of recelv-
ing instrument technically known az the
"audison''-a small instrument fitted to
the head of the operator, giving sound
which, although perfectly distinct to him,
is wholly inaudible to any one else. 1t IS
high time that the use of receiving in
strument of this character became general
in the telegraph service.
Under the present condition of affairs,
it is almost literally true that he who runs
may read Hundreds of telegraphic sta
tions in hotels, railroad depots and other
equally public places are equipped with
noisy saunders, enabling every message
that goes over the wire TO or from that
or any other station to be read by any
person within hearing who is able TO do
so. There is not the slightest attempt to
preserve the secrecy of communication,
which ought to be one of the all impor'
tant requirements of the service.
There are thousands of eX-operators and
other persons in the community who can
read these signals as easily as they could
read bulletin board, and there is obvious
ly nothing whatever to prevent any one OF
them from obtaining information OF other
persons business or personal matters in
this way and using it to their own adj
vantage 1t is a state of affairs which calls
loudly for immediate refOrm.-Englneer-

One wav to Fetter a Folding Bed.

"Eyery few days we read about people
being caught in folding beds and stran-
gled or crushed to death or rendered Grip
pies for life" said a mechanic. ut Is
easy to prevent this. Every folding bed
can be easily fitted with hooks or bolts
that will fasten into unobtrusive staples
or sockets in the floor, and make it impos-
sible to close the bed without christening
them or pulling up the floor. Every one
of them should have some protection OF
this nature.
"a friend of mine who travels n great
deal and often stops Mt hotels where fold
ing beds are used carries strong nickeled
chain. like those used in hanging window
weights, in his valise, and at either end
there is a good stout screw eye. The chain
Is about feet long and takes up scarcely
any room. When he strikes hotel with
folding beds, he lets the bed down, screws
one of the screw eyes in the floor on one
side of the bed at the foot, carries the
chain over the frame and under the mat
tress to the other side, draws the chain
taut and sinks the other screw eye In the
floor. This method would not be good
one to use in everyday practice, but my
friend adopted it after he had had an ad-
venture with one folding bed that nearly
cost him his life. Nobody should purchase
q folding bed that is not provided with
some attachment that will lock it so that
it cannot be closed by accident. They are
as dangerous as unloaded guns. Utica

The Rehennth.

The mammoth, or behemoth, is not yet
universally regarded as extinct. Accord
ing to Siberian and Chinese belief, the race
is merely banished underground, its :" blind
life" being instantly terminated by a
glimpse of the suns or even of the moon 8
rays. The inference might almost be called
a logical one from the state of the unearth-
ed remains.
Ia several cases the great beast has
emerged from his millennial retirement as
completely arrayed as if death had only
lust overtaken him, his hide densely cloth
ed with fulvous wool, and that again COW

Eels and Their spawn.

Young cells in passing up river show
he most extraordinary perseverance IN
overcoming all distractions. The large
loodpates-sometime ID feet in height
on the Thames might be supposed sufii-
Gent to bar the progress of Il fish the size
of a darning needle. But young cells have
n wholesome idea that nothing can stop
them. and in consequence nothing does.
Speaking of the way in which they ascend
floodgates and other barriers, one writer
saws: "Those which die stick to the post;
Others, which get Il little higher, meet
with the same fate, until at last layer
of them is formed, which enables the
rest to overcome the difficulty OF the
passage. The mortality resulting from
such 'forlorn hopes greatly helps to &C
count for the difference in the number OF
Young cells on their upward migration,
and that of those which return down
stream in the autumn. In some places
these baby cells are much sought after and
are formed into cakes, which are eaten
fried.
"Eels spawn like other fishes. For long,
however. the most remarkable theories
were held as to their birth. One or the
old beliefs was that they sprang from mud.
A rival theory held that young eels de-
yeIoped from fragments separated from
their parents bodies by the rubbing
against rocks. One old author not only
declared that they came from May dew,
but gave the following recipe for produc-
ing them: Cut up two turfs covered with
Nav dew and lay them one upon the 9TH
err, the grassy sides inward, and then expose
them to the heat of the sun. In few
hours there will spring from them an in
finite quantity Of cells.
