While we do not in all things uphold or command the course of Mr. Vanderbilt, there are few, if any, who will not approve the moral taught by the following article. When a man, instead of boarding, so distributes his wealth in the promotion of gigantic enterprises as to give employment to thousands of his fellow men, his actions should be commended rather than be made a butt of every penny-a-liner, whose sole object seems to be to defame and "pull down" where he has not the ability to "build up," and lacks the moral sense which is the foundation of the golden rule. Under the above caption the Sun'remarks as follows: "People may think it is fun to be worth a hundred million dollars, but it isn't. Vanderbilt ought to enjoy himself, but it takes him about all the time to deny lies that are told about him. He was in Chicago a week ago on his way out West, and was interviewed by reporter,' and what he did not say the enterprising reporters said for him, so when he read the papers the next morning he found that they had made him damn the whole American people, and say he did not care for what anybody thought of him. He was interviewed in regard to an accident on his road, and because he did not care to talk about it, the papers claimed that he HOW TO SWIM. A writer in Knowledge gives these directions: The swimmer is supposed to be simply balancing himself in the water when he prepares to try the movements now to be described. Placing the hands together close to the breast, with the wrists touching the collar-bones, or nearly on, the palms downward, and in horizonal plane with the elonged fingers, the swimmer launches his arms forward to their full reach in front of him, still keeping his hands together. While he is doing this, he kicks his legs out backward to their full extent and so as to throw the feet on far apart as possible. Of these movements only the latter is propulsive. The former merely brings the arms to the right position for their backward propulsive stroke. But though the legs and feet being kicked out backward produce a propulsive effect, especially if the feet are well planted, as it were, against the water during their backward sweep, yet it is not in this motion that the legs do the most effective part of their propelling work. The arms are now to be carried backward with a powerful sweep, the hands being held in a slightly cup-shaped form, and the stroke being taken with just so much downward movement, and no more, as is necessary to counteract the tendency of the head to sink when the support of the hands is removed. While the hands are then brought toward the hip, the legs are to NOVEL FIRE LADDERS. From the Classical Commercial. After reviewing the engines drawn up line along the English street parka, the chief yesterday morning went to the elbow of the canal, the place appointed for tests of engine appliances, extension ladders and life-saving inventions. Across canal the celebrated Pompier Corps of St. Louis was at work, the men with twelve-foot ladders skinning up and diving the face of a six-story building like so many cata. The ladder, in construction, are simply huffelf. A single pole of hickory, w rings projecting from either side, is rounded by a book of Norway iron , abont a long right angle, and supplied on the der side with serrated teeth. The ladder can thus be readily hooked through windows of great depth. In the drill year day one of the corps, with his ladder, goes up on the second story window and rinsing rapidly up seated himself in the opening pulled the ladder up after him, reaching up to the next window, where he got another grip, and in a jiffy was one stagger higher, and so on up to the very root. Descent was still more rapid. The drill then made by four men directed by voice of the Captain, who on occasion fires uses a shrill whistle to convey hisnala. It should be stated that each fire wore a broad belt of canvas and leather. Now that it is ascertained that kerosene in small quantities is not injurious to the roots of plants, it may be looked upon as one, if not the very best, of insecticide. It is also less injurious to the vegetation when introduced with water then adulterated. Kerosene as an Insecticide. New York, November 4.—Elder George Stringfellow, who is regarded as a particularly bright and shining light in the Church of the Latter Day Saints, arrived from Europe yesterday with 420 Mormon recruits. Elder Stringfellow said: "I have now brought to this country one of the largest companies of Mormon converts that ever came from the Old World to the United States. These people are of a good class; many of them are well supplied with money, and they will be a desirable acquisition as settlers in Utah." "How long have you been in Europe, Elder?" was asked. "Two years; and I have visited France, Scotland, Wales and the Isle of Man. While my missionaries were making converts to the Mormon faith, I kept a general oversight on the work." Tuesday morning A. Hoenschell, a farmer, living in San Joaquin county, near Castle's switch, was fearfully gored by an infuriated bull. He was knocked down, out backward produce a propulsive effect, especially if the feet are well planted, as it were, against the water during their backward sweep, yet it is not in this motion that the legs do the most effective part of their propelling work. The arms are now to be carried backward with a powerful sweep, the hands being held in a slightly cup-shaped form, and the stroke being taken with just so much downward movement, and no more, as is necessary to counteract the tendency of the head to sink when the support of the hands is removed. While the hands are thus brought toward the hips, the legs are to be brought forcibly together, like the legs of a pair of shears when we close them. It is in this movement that the legs produce their greatest propulsive effect, an effect which many who think they know how to swim entirely lose, simply kicking their legs straight out backward, and then drawing them up under them for the next stroke. This drawing up of the legs under the abdomen must only be begun when the legs have been forcibly brought together, both perfectly rigid till they are in contact. The closing movement of the legs is completed while the arms are doing their backward stroke. The legs are then drawn up under the stomach, the feet being bent back as when we stand on tiptoe, while the hands are brought to their first position by passing from the hips to the chest, the palm and fingers as it were gliding over the body. Then the movements described are repeated. The arms are thrust forward as before; the legs are kicked out; then, while the legs are brought forcibly together, and afterward carried forward, the arms take their propulsive stroke backward to the hips. Then the movements are repeated, and so on, till the swimmer is tired, or thinks well to change his stroke. Mormon Recruits. New York, November 4.—Elder George Stringfellow, who is regarded as a particularly bright and shining light in the Church of the Latter Day Saints, arrived from Europe yesterday with 420 Mormon recruits. Elder Stringfellow said: "I have now brought to this country one of the largest companies of Mormon converts that ever came from the Old World to the United States. These people are of a good class; many of them are well supplied with money, and they will be a desirable acquisition as settlers in Utah." "How long have you been in Europe, Elder?" was asked. "Two years; and I have visited France, Scotland, Wales and the Isle of Man. While my missionaries were making converts to the Mormon faith, I kept a general oversight on the work." Kerosene as an Insecticide. Now that it is ascertained that kerosene in small quantities is not injurious to the roots of plants, it may be looked upon as one, if not the very best, of insecticides. It is also less injurious to the vegetation when in admixture with soap than when adulterated. In the form of kerosene soap it has another great advantage, inasmuch as it becomes soluble in water, and can be therefore diluted to any required degree of strength, so that it may be used with safety on the most delicate plants, while on more robust subjects and for the most persistent kinds of insects, such as scale, mealy bug, ants and termites, it may be used at whatever degree of strength may be necessary for their destruction, while for destroying grubs and insects in any form, or worms in the soil, it is found to be perfectly efficacious. Cabbage plants affected with club roots may be dipped in it before planting, or afterwards watered with it. Grubs or lawns, or on the roots of strawberry plants, wireworms, or the cotton aphis on the roots of apple trees, may be one and all put an end to by its means. It is prepared by placing half a pint of kerosene and a quarter of a pound of soft soap in an ordinary stable bucket, and filling it up with boiling water. then stirring till the soap is dissolved and united with the kerosene, the mixture being of the proper strength for application to the roots of plants. Little Rock (Ark.), Nov. 2.—Benjamin Smith, near Dardanelles, died yesterday, from sores supposed to be caused by salivation. A post-mortem examination convinced the doctors that death resulted from what are known in this latitude as "screw worm," which penetrates the skin, and had literally honeycombed the inside of the child's mouth. Willie Scanlon, aged 7 years, attempted to jump into the cabbage of a freight train at Stockton, and fell under the carriage, the wheels passing over the toe of the left foot and crumbling them so that they had to be smuggled. Tuesday morning A. Hoenschell, a farmer, living in San Joaquin county, near Castle's switch, was fearfully gored by an infuriated bull. He was knocked down, pawed and shoved around a distance of forty feet. His son Cyrus was half a mile away at the time, and on horseback. His father's cries for help attracted his attention, and he speeded his horse as fast as he could, and drove the animal away. The old man was in an insensible condition. He is blind in one eye, and that eye was gored out. One rib on the left side was broken, and he was cut and bruised from head to foot. VIRGINIA City, Nevada, Nov. 4.—The wife of Daniel Hassett, miner, in a fit of insanity, left her home night before last, taking with her her babe and two small children. She returned yesterday with the two older children, having been in the mountains all the previous night in a heavy snow storm, explaining that the babe had annoyed her by crying, and she had cut its head off with a hatchet. The statement proved to be true. Officers to-day found the body with the head severed. The woman was locked up as insane. Two professors in the Champaign University, Illinois, patented a process for making sugar from the seeds of sorghum and glucose, and were in consequence dismissed from their positions; the authorities holding that they ought not to make commercial property of their scientific discoveries. But they don't care, as a company has taken hold of the invention and they are likely to make money by it. Down in Arizona pools on the result of the coming election in that Territory are sold nightly in all the principal saloons. The desire to gamble in so strong with the Arizona pools can be sold easily on anything from a horse race to the sex of an expectant child. Again he mounted, No. 2 following fourth story, No. 3 to the third, and M to the second. In another second each had entered the window of the floor which he had arrived. Adulteration of French Wine From the St. James's Gazette. Of more than three thousand samples wine analyzed at the Paris Municipal laboratory during the last ten months between three and four hundred, or one-tenth of the whole, were found to good quality. The rest were pronounced either passable or bad, without how far for the most part, containing any point ingredient; but some three or four hurls revealed on analysis the presence of dioxins and noxious substances, such as lead, alum and sulphuric acid, seems a safer beverage; for though obtained from the potato entered into the composition of many of the men's examined, this in itself is not ous to health; while hopes absent in cases, were innocently replaced by ous and similar barks. The result of the analysis of the sale of cognac recalls the famous dictum Italian innkeeper, that wine can be from anything—even from grapes—fording to the ravages of the phylloxera cent years in the Charente district, an high price that wine commands, all called cognac since 1875 has been made spirit distilled from grain, beet root, lazasse. One-half the brandy tested Laboratory was declared bad, not sense of being spurious—that is of course but of being made from insufficiently fied spirit produced from some substitutes grape. New York, Nov. 4.—There is a held by some persons that the skeleton closest which caused Mrs. Dr. Seggill kill her children and herself was Iginn's atheism; that it had been therof her life to convert him. Despairing thought the course pursued the only save the children from his influence. J. W. Simpson, for many years Agent of the Associated Press at New York daily suddenly last week at his rear Napa of heart disease. GAZETTE. NOVEMBER 11, 1882. DEL FIRE LADDERS. Drawing the engines drawn up in the English street parka, the fire day morning went to the elbow, the place appointed for the one appliances, extension ladders, ring inventions. Across the celebrated Pompier Corps of the men at work, the men with their ladders skinning up and down six-story building like so many others, in construction, are simplified single pole of hickory, with setting from either side, is surmounted by a book of Norway iron, about at angle, and supplied on the unnich serrated teeth. The ladder is readily hooked through winestretch depth.

The drill was still more rapid. The drill was by four men directed by the Captain, who on occasion of shrill whistle to convey his sig-sould be stated that each fireman and belt of canvas and leather, de- THE KNOUT—A TERRIBLE PUNISHMENN. The following is the way of administering the knout: Concise, reader, a robust man, full of life and health. This man is condemned to receive fifty or a hundred blows of the knout. He is conducted, half naked, to the place chosen for this kind of execution; his hands are bound together, with the palms laid flat against one another; the words are breaking his wrist, but no one pays the slightest attention to that. He is laid flat on a frame, inclined diagonally, and at the extremities of which are fixed iron rings; his hands are fastened to one end of the frame, and his feet to the other; he is then stretched in such a manner that he cannot make a single movement, just as an eel's skin is stretched in order to dry. This act of stretching the victim causes his bones to crack and dislocates them. What does that matter! In a little time his bones will crack and be dislocated in a very different manner. At a distance of five-and-twenty paces stands another man. It is the public executioner. With both hands he grasps the instrument of punishment—a knout. This knout consists of a thong of thick leather, cut in a triangular form, from four to five yards long and an inch wide, tapering off at one end and broad at the other; the small end fastened to a little wooden handle about two feet long. The signal is given. The execu- HOW DEAF MUTES CONFUSE IDEAS. There can be no doubt that pupils who learn abstract truths through the medium of gesture, which can but describe the invisible by means of the visible—the infinite by things circumscribed—often obtain very confused ideas on such subjects. Professor Fornai, of Milan, mentions some striking cases, illustrating the erroneous impressions produced by such means. Before the oral method was introduced into Italy he always felt much difficulty in obtaining abstract truth. One day a pupil, in the fourth year of instruction, fell ill. When the Professor i sited him, he found the poor lad weeping bitterly, in the deepest grief "that would not be comforted," nor could he be induced to tell the cause of his distress, the sight of which was pitiful. The tender-hearted master used all the arts of pantomime to draw the secret forth. He tried to make the boy understand that he loved him like a father, and pointing to his cassock, showed him that, like his mother, he wore the gown, and felt for him as she did. At length the poor child ventured to tell his secret. Covering his eyes with his hand in token of shame he signified by gestures and repeated it by the manual alphabet that he had "thrown up his soul." He had confused the sign commonly used to express the soul, with that which meant sickness. Another time the same gentleman found In the drill yesterthe corps, with his ladder, got a second story window and runup seated himself in the open, the ladder up after him, reached next window, where he got anand in a jiffy was one story so on up to the very root.

When the men were enjoying the good things his bounty had provided, King Solomon moved from table to table, endeavoring to become better acquainted with his workmen. To one he said: "My friend, what is your trade?" "A carpenter." "And who makes your tools?" "The blacksmith," replied the carpenter. To another Solomon said: "What is your trade?" and the reply was: "A mason." "And who makes your tools?" "The blacksmith," replied the mason. A third stated that he was a stone-cutter, and that the blacksmith also made his tools. The fourth man that King Solomon addressed was the blacksmith himself. He was a powerful man with bared arms, on which the muscles stood out in bold relief, seemingly almost as hard as the metal he worked. With both hands he grasps the Instrument of punishment—a knotout. This knot consists of a thong of thick leather, cut in a triangular form, from four to five yards long and an inch wide, tapering off at one end and bread at the other; the small end fastened to a little wooden handle about two feet long. The signal is given. The executioner advances a few steps holding the knot in both hands, while the long thong drags along the ground between his legs. On coming about three or four paces from the prisoner he raises the knot toward the top of his head and then draws it down with rapidity toward his knees. The thong flies and whistles through the air, and descending on the body of the victim twins around it like a hoop of iron. In spite of his state of tension the poor wretch bounds as if he was submitted to the powerful grasp of 'galvanism. The executioner retraces his steps, and repeats the same operation as many times as there are blows to be inflicted. When the thong envelopes the body with its edges, the flesh and muscles are literally cut into strips, as if with a razor, but when it falls flat, then the bones crack; the flesh, in this case, is not cut, but crushed and ground, and the blood spurs out in all directions. The sufferer becomes green and blue, like a body in a state of decomposition. He is now removed to the hospital, where every care is taken of him, and is afterward sent to Siberia, where he disappears forever in the bowels of the earth. The knotout is fatal, if the justice of the Czar or of the executioner desires it to be so. Solomon and the Blacksmith.

A third stated that he was a stone-cutter, and that the blacksmith also made his tools. The fourth man that King Solomon addressed was the blacksmith himself. He was a powerful man, with bared arms, on which the muscles stood out in bold relief, seemingly almost as hard as the metal he worked. "And what is your trade, my good man?" said the King. "Blacksmith," laconically replied the man of the anvil and sledge. "And who makes your tools?" "Make them myself," said the blacksmith. Whereupon King Solomon immediately proclaimed him the King of Mechanics, because he could not only make his own tools, but all other artisans were forced to go to him to have the tools of their trade manufactured. Every corpse that is taken to the Paris Morgue is now quickly converted into a block almost as hard as stone. This result is obtained by Carra's chemical refrigerator, which is capable of reducing the temperature of the conservatory, where each body is laid out on something closely resembling a camp bedstead in stone, to 15° below zero centigrade. At the back of this room is a row of stove-like compartments, in which the corpses are boxed up and frozen hard before being exposed to public view. As an illustration of the intense cold thus artificially secured, a Paris journalist, in describing a recent visit to the Morgue, says that in opening one of the compartments the attendant took the precaution to wear a glove, lest "his hand should be burnt by contact with the cold iron." The corpse which was taken out of its receptacle had been there nine hours. The doctor who accompanied the visitor struck the dead man on the breast with a stick, and the sound was just as if he had struck a stone. Clarence Dowd had his nose broken, his face badly cut and two fingers fractured by being thrown from a car into a pile of wood which he was unloading at Stockton. Hannah Michael, a Jewess, is an inmate of the girls' prison at Middletown, Conn. She refused to take part in the Christian services held in the chapel, further than to attend them with the rest of the convicts, and the matron, after insisting in vain that she should join in certain responses, whipped her so severely that her back and arms were scarred when shown to a visitor two weeks afterward. Meat Inspector Hobday of the Brooklyn Health Bureau discovered that in a slaughter house in North Ninth street the butchers were bleeding about a hundred bullocks by opening small veins in their tails. This is done several days before the animals are slaughtered, to make the meat white. It is claimed that inflammation often sets in, and that the animal is killed in a feverish state. Numbers of German emigrants who landed in this country last spring and summer have already returned home to Germany much wiser than when they went away. They state, according to the London Times, that they found New York and other large cities swarming with their own class, and that all available labor was already monopolized. An excellent liniment for neuralgia is made of sassafras, oil of organum, and a half ounce of tineture of capsicum, with half a pint of alcohol. Seak nine yards of red flannel in this mixture, wrap it around the head, and then insert your head in a haystack till death comes to your relief. A bill is before the Vermout Legislature prohibiting a divorced person from marrying within a year, and a period from whom a divorce is obtained from marrying within five years, or ever, if the ground of complaint is a crime, in which case criminal prosecution must follow the divorce proceedings. True merit is like a river—the deeper it is the less noise it makes.
