A recent dispatch from Sandwich, Illinois, said: "Mrs. James A. Lay died here to-day, having fasted for four weeks. She labored under the delusion that she was encinate, and that if she fasted until after the child's birth, which she believed would occur in a few days, the offspring would be a second prophet Elijah. A post-mortem examimation showed that she had labored under a complete delusion." This curious case resembles a similar delusion which at the beginning of the present century caused a widespread sensation, and demonstrated in a striking way the facility with which so-called evidence for alleged supernatural and miraculous occurrences can be manufactured. About the middle of the eighteenth century Joanna Southcote was born in Exeter, Devonshire. She was brought up to domestic service, was illiterate, ignorant, and in no way remarkable until she had attained her fortiori year. About that time she joined a local Methodist church, and "got religion" in a very exciting way. Soon she began to fancy herself inspired, she uttered prophesies, she raved and talked an infinite quantity of solemn gibberish. And there were found many persons who accepted her own account of her inspiration, and who once set her down as a "woman of God." In a little while she had attracted a considerable following. It seems probable that she believied in herself, though it is very question-able whether she had not lucid intervals. DEATH OF GARIBALDI. Sketch of his Very Adventureus Career. Rome, June 2.—General Garibaldi died at 6:30 o'clock this evening. The General had been lying very ill with bronchitis at Caprea, and his condition was so precarious that all the members of the family in Rome and Genoa left for his bedside before his death occurred. [Giuseppe Garibaldi was born at Nice on July 22, 1807.] In early life he developed a taste for natural adventure, and made frequent voyages to Odessa and Rome. In 1832 he became implicated with Mazzini in a conspiracy against the King of Sardinia, and was forced to leave his home. Only two years later he was condemned to death for complicity in a similar conspiracy. Escaping to France, he sailed to Africa and offered his services to the Bey of Tunis. In 1836 he crossed the Atlantic, and for several years fought gallantly for the Republic of Rio Grande in its war against Brazil, was taken prisoner and experienced a variety of exciting adventures. Returning to Rome in 1848 he was enthusiastically received, and took such an active part in the defense of that city against the French that when the latter proved victorious he was forced to flee for his life. Coming to the United States, he became a successful manufacturer of soap and candles on Staten Island. After flying trips to Peru and England, Garibaldi settled down as a farmer on the island of Caprera. A pastoral life naturally proved irksome to his adventurous spirit, and the Crimean war having broken out, Selection of Trees. S. B. Smith in Seoul-Tropic California. For an alkali soil I know of but two kinds of fruit which it will grow with profit. These are pears and plums, the latter to be grafted on plum stock of some hardy variety. For myself, if I had one hundred acres of alkali soil that I wished to set in fruits, I would put at least ninety acres of it in Bartlett pears. This is far beyond all other varieties the canner's choice, and with proper cultivation will grow on soil with almost any degree of alkali. Of plums the canners have little choice, though the greenage, damson, Golden Drop and the Yellow Egg are usually preferred. On other kinds of soil the grower should choose such kinds of fruits as are best adapted to his particular locality, and plant largely of the best growing kinds. Of apricots the Royal is, in this locality, by far the best variety. It invariably bears well, and as there is scarcely any choice in the varieties of this fruit by the canners, the grower needs only to plant the variety which will bear him the most and best fruit. Of peaches the White Heath and Lemon Cling, are the favorite cling-stone varieties, but as a rule the White Heath curls so badly that it does not pay to plant it. The Lemon Cling also curls, but not badly, and is the most profitable cling-stone peach grown. Of freestone peaches the canners prefer the early and late Crawford and the Solway. On all peaches they desire those varieties which best retain their firmness and shape after cooking. Of apples the R. I.

About that time she joined a local Methodist church, and "got religion" in a very exciting way. Soon she began to fancy herself inspired, she uttered prophesies, she raved and talked an infinite quantity of solemn gibberish. And there were found many persons who accepted her own account of her inspiration, and who at once set her down as a "woman of God." In a little while she had attracted a considerable following. It seems probable that she believed in herself, though it is very questionable whether she had not lucid intervals. Joanna, however, was not allowed to take her hand from the plow. Her dupes encouraged herself as the woman spoken of in the twelfth chapter of Revelations, and obtained a handsome income by the sale of seals, which were to secure the salvation of those who purchased them. Had she been possessed of any education she might have been suspected of getting this idea from the Papal indulgences; but probably she had never heard of the latter. As her confidence increased she challenged the Bishop and clergy of Exeter to a public investigation of her miraculous powers, and when those dignitaries treated her proposition with silent contempt, she and her followers attributed it to fear. Presently she removed to London and there she throva wonderfully, actually founding a sect upon the strength of the trash which she wrote in the form of pamphlets. Of the amount of intellectual force represented by this movement a very good idea can be gathered from an account of one episode in the Southcote's career. A number of her "prophecies," made from 1792 to 1794, were sealed up, and the box in which they were deposited was not opened until 1803. Then, says Sharpe, the engraver, who was one of her believers, "Her writings were examined during seven days, and the result of this long scrutiny was the unanimous decision of twenty-three persons appointed by divine command, as well as thirty-five others that were present, that her calling was of God." This conclusion was reached from the alleged fulfillment of the propheses contained in these writings; but inasmuch as the whole of the writings were completely illegible, it is difficult to understand how this fact was, ascertained. Still more curious, perhaps, was Joanna's comment upon the illegibility of her writings. "This," she observed, "must be, to fulfill the Bible. Every vision that John saw in heaven must take place on earth, and here is the sealed book, that no one can read!" It is evident that with so docile a flock there were no lengths to which Joanna Southcote could not go, and certainly she tested their gullibility severely. For when in her sixty-fourth year she announced that she was with child by the Holy Ghost, and that before the end of the year she should give birth to the Shiloh, there seems to have been no hesitation in accepting this wonderful announcement among her followers. They were delighted with the prospect, and forthwith proceeded to make all the necessities until she had attained her fortieth year.

certainly she tested their gullibility severely. For when in her sixty-fourth year she announced that she was with child by the Holy Ghost, and that before the end of the year she should give birth to the Shiloh, there seems to have been no hesitation in accepting this wonderful announcement among her followers. They were delighted with the prospect, and forthwith proceeded to make all the necessary preparations, among other things providing a cradle which cost $1,000, a richly-embroidered coverlid, etc. At first she fixed the birth for the 19th of October, 1814, but that day came and passed, and nothing happened. Then she said that it would take place before Christmas, but two days after Christmas she died, and even then her in-fatuated dupes would not abandon their belief. On the 19th of October a great crowd waited all night round her lodgings, expecting the news that Shiloh had come. And even when Joanna Southcote was dead, her followers refused to allow her to be buried until the doubly convincing evidence of ad-vancing decomposition and a post mortem dissection had proved to them, first that she was beyond revival, and, second, that she had never been pregnant at all. And so overwhelming is the force of superstition that for many years after her death her sect held together, looking for her reappearance, and refusing to believe that she had been nothing but a self-deluded impostor of the most vulgar type. The chief interest of this strange and most humiliating exposure of the boundlessness of human folly perhaps consists in the light it throws upon the untrustworthiness of all testimony which is biased by religious fanaticism. In this case we see that absolutely conclusive demonstrations of the utter fallacy of Joanna Southcote's claims failed to convince her followers that they had been deceived. They surrendered their judgment to the delusion so completely that their evidence on what passed before their eyes was in all respects worse than worthless. Without any dishonest intentions they were prepared to avouch the most preposterous falsehoods. In fact they lived in an atmosphere of confusion, and their conclusions could not be trusted. The newspapers in Queensland and New South Wales have lately spoken very highly of a new remedy for asthmatic and bronchial affections, in the shape of a species of Euphorbia indigenous to Queensland, and known scientifically as Euphorbia pitulifera. It is said that an ounce of the leaves of the plant placed in two quarta of water, and allowed to simmer till the quantity is reduced to one-half, will afford a medicine which, taken a wine-glassful at a time, two or three times a day, will relieve the most obstinate cases of asthma, as well as ordinary coughs. The leaves of the plant are readily gathered and dried and will keep for a considerable time. A very interesting balance sheet for the last financial year at Monte Carlo has just been published by the Administration. It appears that in the year ending the 31st of March the tables had won 12,000,000 francs. Against this 8,800,000 is set down for expenses of all sorts, thus leaving a sum of 3,200,000 francs, or £128,000, to be divided among the shareholders. This is child's play to the amount of money which annually changes hands at some of the Paris and Nice clubs. M. Dupressoir, who was formerly the presiding genius at the Baden-Baden Kurshal, has just been appointed director-general of the Casino at Monte Carlo. WASHINGTON, June 3.—An investigation of the rate of wages of farm laborers made by the Statistician of the Department of Agriculture shows an increase of twenty-four per cent. since 1879. In the Eastern States from 1875 to 1879 the decline was heaviest in the manufacturing sections, where the artisans thrown out of employment competed to depress the rate of farm wages. The advance since 1879 has been fourteen per cent. in the Western States and thirteen in the Southern. GAZETTE. NO. 35 Two Women Fight a Duel. LAMBERTON, S. C., June 3.—St. Paul's Township was yesterday evening the scene of a deadly hand-to-hand conflict between two young women, Jane McKellar and Frances McNair, in which the victorious one sent a dirk into her rival's heart. For a long time there had been bad feeling between the two women, although they had lately as much as possible avoided, each other. There was a young gallant in the case, and it is said Frances McNair had won his affection, although at first he seemed to have preferred the other. During the last three days hostile messages had passed between the two women, the exact tenor of which has not leaked out, although important sensational developments are looked for before the officers get through with the affair. At any rate, whether by appointment or not, the two women met last evening in a quiet dell, not far from the main road, and began to settle the trouble between themselves. Jane McKellar was the larger and more muscular, though her antagonist, while spare, was lithe and quick of motion. They fought each other like tigers, and finally Jane McKellar succeeded in throwing her small but plucky opponent, and with her knee pressed on the stomach of the prostrate woman, grasping her by the throat with the fury of a demon and well-nigh choking her life from her, when finally, by a great effort, Frances McNair gave a sudden twist of the body, forcing her antagonist to lose her perch and fall sideways to the ground, and with a cry of hate and revenge, drew a bowie knife and plunged it in the heart of Jane McKellar, MEAN AND GREAT FIGURES MADE BY SEVERAL PERSONS 1. Of those who have made great figures in some particular action or circumstance of their lives: Alexander the Great, after his victory, at the straits of Mount Taurus, when he entered the tent, where the Queen and the Princesses of Persia fell at his feet. Socrates, the whole last day of his life, and particularly from the time he took the poison, until the moment he expired. Cicero, when he was recalled from his banishment, the people through every place he passed meeting him with shouts of joy and congratulation, and all Rome coming out to receive him. Regulus, when he went out of Rome attended by his friends to the gates, and returned to Carthage according to his word of honor—although he knew he must be put to a cruel death for advising the Romans to pursue their war with that commonwealth. Scipio the Elder, when he dismissed a beautiful captive lady presented to him after a great victory, turning his head aside to preserve his own virtue. The same Scipio when he and Hannibal met before the battle, if the fact be true. Cincinnatus, when the messengers sent by the Senate to make him Dictator, found him at the plough. Epammondas, when the Persian embassador came to his house and found him in the midst of poverty. Virgil, when at Rome, the whole audience rose up, out of veneration, as he entered the though her antagonist, while spare, was lithe and quick of motion. They fought each other like tigers, and finally Jane McKellar succeeded in throwing her small but plucky opponent, and with her knee pressed on the stomach of the prostrate woman, grasping her by the throat with the fury of a demon and well-nigh choking her life from her, when finally, by a great effort, Frances MeNair gave a sudden twist of the body, forcing her antagonist to lose her perch and fall sideways to the ground, and with a cry of hate and revenge, drew a bowie-knife and plunged it in the heart of Jane McKellar, who died with one gasp. Then, at the sight of the gaping wound the victor in the fight fell across the dead body, where she was found by a party who had followed them but arrived too late to prevent the terrible tragedy. Tired Mothers. A little boy, on his way to build fires and sweep offices in Boston, while the stars were yet in the sky, told the writer: "My mother gets me up, builds the fire and gets my breakfast, and sends me off. Then she gets my father up and gets his breakfast, and sends him off. Then she gives the other children their breakfast and sends them to school; and then she and the baby have their breakfast." "How old is the baby?" I asked. "Oh, she is 'most two, but she can talk and walk as well as any of us.'" "Are you well paid?" "I get $2 a week, and my father gets $2 a day." "How much does your mother get? With a bewildered look, he said, 'Mother! Why, she don't work for anybody.'" "I thought you said she worked for all of you?" "Oh, yes! for us she does. But there ain't any money into it." This wife of a day laborer represents a large class of hard-working women. The compensations of affection, the love of husband and children, and the nameless and numberless blessings that come with and belong to the family life, can no more make up to a wife the loss of all money value for her service than they would to her husband if the same poverty or position were thrust upon him.—Women's Journal. Normal School Teachers. San Jose, June 2nd.—The Board of Normal School Trustees met last evening and elected Prof. Allen Principal of the Normal School here and also Principal of the Branch School in Los Angeles without extra salary, and directed him to proceed to Los Angeles as early as possible and arrange for opening the school. Prof. C. J. Flatt was elected vice-Principal of the Branch School, Miss Emma L. Hawks, preceptress; J. W. Redway, assistant. The Board re-elected the present faculty of the Normal School at San Jose, with the exception of Miss Murry. Miss Lucy M. Washburn was elected in her place. It was resolved that two classes be graduated hereafter, one in December and Scipio the Elder, when he dismissed a beautiful captive lady presented to him after a great victory, turning his head aside to preserve his own virtue. The same Scipio when he and Hannibal met before the battle, if the fact be true. Cincinnatus, when the messengers sent by the Senate to make him Dictator, found him at the plough. Epammondas, when the Persian embassador came to his house and found him in the midst of poverty. Virgil, when at Rome, the whole audience rose up, out of veneration, as he entered the theater. Mahomet the Great, when he cut off his beloved mistress' head on a stage erected for that purpose, to convince his soldiers, who taxed him for preferring his love to his glory. Cromwell, when he quelled a mutiny in Hyde Park. Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford, at his trial. Cato, of Utica, when he provided for the safety of his friends, and had determined to die. Sir Thomas Moore, during his imprisonment, and at his execution. Marius, when the soldier sent to kill him in the dungeon was struck with so much awe and veneration that his sword fell from his hand. Douglas, when the ship he commanded was on fire, and he lay down to die in it, because it should not be said that one of his family ever quitted their post. Of those who have made a mean contemptible figure in some action or circumstance of their lives: Antony, at Actium, when he fled after Cleopatra. Pompey, when he was killed on the seashore in Egypt. Nero and Vitellius, when they were put to death. Lepidus, when he was compelled to lay down his share of the Triumvirate. Cromwell, the day he refused the kingship out of fear. Perseus, King of Macedon, when he was led in triumph. Richard the Second of England, after he was deposed. King James the Second of England, when the Prince of Orange sent to him at midnight to leave London. King William the Third of England, when he sent to beg the House of Commons to continue his Dutch guards, and was refused. Queen Anne of England, when she sent Whitworth to Muscovy on an embassy of humiliation, for an insult committed here on that Prince's embassador. How to Cook Rice. Rice is becoming a much more popular article of food than heretofore. It is frequently substituted for potatoes at the chief meal of the day, being more nutritious and much more readily digested. At its present A German captain of artillery named Von Ehrenberg, having written a pamphlet in which he endeavored to show how millions of marks might be saved upon the German war budget annually by the abolition of useless pomp and show, has been tried by a military court at Cassel and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, to pay the expenses of the trial, and to be dismissed from the service. The court found that the prisoner had insulted the Minister of War, as well as the Imperial body guard, of which he had contested the utility. Miss Clara, daughter of ex-Supreme Judge Crockett, was found dead in an attic room of her brother's house in San Francisco on Friday last with a handkerchief saturated with chloroform over her face. It is supposed her death was accidental, as she had been in the habit of using the drug to deaden the pain of a disease with which she was afflicted. The British steamer Strathairly, which recently arrived in San Francisco with 1056 Chinese, has been measured and found to have a legal carrying capacity of only 730. There is an overplus of 326, at $50 per head. The penalty will eat up the profits of the voyage. "Your arguments are sound, my son, and delivered with force," said the clergyman to his boy, who had been hanging away at his drum for an hour or more; "but we have heard quite enough on that head." How to Cook Rice. Rice is becoming a much more popular article of food than heretofore. It is frequently substituted for potatoes at the chief meal of the day, being more nutritious and much more readily digested. At its present cost, it is relatively cheaper than potatoes, oatmeal or grain-grits of any kind. In preparing it only just enough cold water should be poured on to prevent the rice from burning at the bottom of the pot, which should have a close-fitting cover, and with a moderate fire the rice is steamed rather than boiled until it is nearly done; then the cover is taken off, the surplus steam and moisture allowed to escape, and the rice turns out a mass of snow-white kernels, each separate from the other, and as much superior to the usual soggy mass, as a fine mealy potato is superior to the water-soaked article. PEORIA, May 30.—A report reached here this morning of a horrible tragedy at Lancaster landing, in the southern part of this county. The story, in brief, is that Milton Clifford, whose wife recently gave birth to twins, took them from the cradle, strangled them and then, using the cradle as a coffin, buried them in it. The fiend then left his wife alone in her critical condition and did not return until several hours later, when he related what he had done with the children, closing with the remark that he had hoped she would be dead before he got back. He then left the house and it is supposed he has fled the State. A large force of men are scouring the country in every direction in search of him. DECATUR, Illinois, June 3.—A kerosene oil can exploded at the residence of Alex Adams, at three o'clock last night, and set fire to three children, burning them to death. The accident was caused by attempting to fill the lamp while burning.
