Our acquaintance resulted at the end of six months in gagement, which, without the prospect speedy marriage, we naturally soon keep to ourselves. Two years later, spring of 1850, when I was maturing to leave my profession in Kentucky establish myself elsewhere, I was summoned to Pennsylvania by the day my father. It being very doubtful if return to Kentucky, I was threatened an indefinite separation from her seceded my entire devotion. My son was to secure her to myself by an invisible tie against every possible contingent life, and on the 30th day of June, 1850 prior to my departure from Kentucky were in the presence of chosen and friends, united by what I knew was native State of Pennsylvania a perfect form of marriage. On reaching found that my family, and especially reaved mother, strongly discountenant business plans, as involving too long ration from home and kindred. I came with her wish that I should resume work for a time, my occupation in Keith whither I returned in the latter part of August. During the ensuing winter, induces misgivings which were increased by consultations, I became alarmed less might be thrown upon the validity marriage by reason of non compliance law of the State where it had occurred. I had learned that the laws of Keith made a license, certified by the Clerk County Court, an indispensable requisite marriage. After much deliberation and with an anxious desire to guard most effectual manner against any assault resulting from our position which I alone was responsible—we did that the simpleest—and at the same time surest way, was to repair to Pennsylvania and have another marriage service performed. This was done in the presence of nesses in the city of Pittsburgh in the month of March, 1851, but was not otherwise public for obvious reasons. It was signed to secure an indisputable valid first marriage being by my wife and always held sacred.

Answer to the "Sentinel's" Slammerers New York, Sept. 19.—Hon. William Phelps takes the responsibility of going to the public the following private address on him nearly two weeks. AUGUSTA, Sept. 7, 1834. Mr. Dear Mr. Phelps: I have your faction of the 4th, advising me that the continuation and wide circulation of evil acts render it advisable in your judgment to wait the slow process of the law, but speak directly to the public in my own discretion. In this opinion many others on the judgment I fully concur. I shrink intently from the suggestion, although I sure I could strengthen the confidence and who are friendly to me by bringing to the single thread of truth which is condined in this endless tissue of falsehood. Can imagine how inexpressibly painful it be to despair one's domestic life in distress, although I think, with you, that the circumstances I could count upon generosity of the public to justify a moment which might otherwise seem obnoxious. I can in any event commit the to you for personal communication to friends who have taken so delicate and tolerate an interest in my affairs. Leisure hours of to-day, when our SAVED BY UMBRELLAS. How an American Frigate Escaped from a British Fleet in 1812 I have before me a copy (or part of one) of Harper's Weekly of December 31, 1851, giving a sketch of the escape of the frigate Constitution from a fleet of English men-of-war in July, 1812, writes a correspondent to the Lawrence American. When a small boy I heard the escape of the Constitution was by means of umbrellas, but I never knew in what way until Mr. Woodwell told me the following history. I was well acquainted with Mr. Gideon Woodwell, of Newburyport, Mass., who was a ship carpenter at the time of the chase on board of the Constitution—and as far back as 1823 to 1834 Mr. Woodwell and the writer of this were at work alongside of each other on three or four different vessels in Newburyport, and at that time Woodwell related the history of the escape of that ship. When the Guerriere and those other ships were first sighted, Captain Hall was well satisfied that they were not Americans. He held a little consultation with his officers, and it was decided to get ready at once, in case of emergency. Captain Hall was satisfied if they were English ships-of-war every boat would be sent to the nearest frigate to help her up to cripple the Constitution. Mr. Woodwell says: "We had a number of white oak sticks of timber, from 12 to 16 feet long, from 5 to 8 inches square, then in the lower hold of the THE WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY. Water Power Transmitted Long Distances—Talking Through Human Bodies. Philadelphia, Sept. 7.—"America is undoubtedly ahead in the practical application of electricity to purposes of public utility," said Alexander Graham Bell, the famous telephone inventor, to-day, "but in the most important use to which electricity has hitherto been applied we are very much behind the great civilized nations of Europe—that is, the transmission of force by means of electricity. A railway seven miles long is worked by electricity at Port Resh, in Ireland. A waterfall in the neighborhood is utilized to work the dynamo machine, and the current is transmitted over a telegraph wire from the falls to the railway. The waste of water power in America for lack of electrical apparatus to transmit it is something enormous. If the power of waterfalls in places so inaccessible that it cannot be utilized could be transmitted forty or fifty miles to where it might be applied to advantage, all this power running to waste would be saved, would be cheaper than steam, and in the end possibly supersede it. In regard to the telephone, I am now at work on the magneto telephone and have obtained some very satisfactory results, but of these the time has not yet come for me to speak. I am desirous of improving the central office management. The business has grown so hot summers I Thermometers Burst, the Sun and Rivers.

I can imagine how inexpressibly painful it must be to describe one’s domestic life in distress, although I think, with you, that for the circumstances I could count upon generosity of the public to justify a moment which might otherwise seem obnoble. I can in any event commit the to you for personal communication to your friends who have taken so delicate and tolerant an interest in my affairs. The leisure hours of to-day, when our design is ended and we wait only for the sun, give me an opportunity for this not reply, and for the following essential tasks: At Georgetown, Ky., in the spring of 1850, when I was but 18 years of age, I met the lady who for more than 34 years has been my wife. Our acquaintance died at the end of six months in an accident, which, without the prospect of a marriage, we naturally sought to ourselves. Two years later, in the year of 1850, when I was maturing plans for my profession in Kentucky and embarked myself elsewhere, I was suddenly enclosed to Pennsylvania by the death of another. It being very doubtful if I could return to Kentucky, I was threatened with definite separation from her who posed my entire devotion. My one wish to secure her to myself by an indissoluble against every possible contingency in mind on the 30th day of June, 1850, just to my departure from Kentucky, we in the presence of chosen and trusted us, united by what I knew was in my State of Pennsylvania a perfectly learned marriage. On reaching home I find that my family, and especially my beloved mother, strongly discountened my less plans, involving too long a separation from home and kindred. I complied under wish that I should resume, at least time, my occupation in Kentucky, after I returned in the latter part of Auctioning the ensuing winter, induced by things which were increased by legal situations, I became alarmed lest doubt be thrown upon the validity of our age by reason of non compliance of the State where it had occurred, for learned that the laws of Kentucky a license, certified by the Clerk of the Court, an indispensable requisite of marriage. After much deliberation with an anxious desire to guard in the effectual manner against any embarrassment resulting from our position—for I alone was responsible—we decided on simple and at the same time the way, was to repair to Pennsylvania live another marriage service perform this was done in the presence of within the city of Pittsburgh in the month March, 1851, but was not otherwise made for obvious reasons. It was solennio secure an indisputable validity, the marriage being by my wife and myself held sacred. At the mature age of not defend the wisdom or prudence secret marriage, suggested by the ardor experience of youth, but its honor and ferent vessels in Newburyport, and at that time Woodwell related the history of the escape of that ship. When The Guerriere and those other ships were first sighted, Captain Hall was well satisfied that they were not Americans. He held a little consultation with his officers, and it was decided to get ready at once, in case of emergency. Captain Hull was satisfied if they were English ships-of-war every boat would be sent to the nearest frigate to help her up to cripple the Constitution. Mr. Woodwell says: "We had a number of white oak sticks of timber, from 12 to 16 feet long, from 5 to 8 inches square, then in the lower hold of the ship. The boatswain was ordered to have them on deck; the carpenters went to work, four of the sticks were reduced to 3½ inches at the small end and 5 at the other; in the upper or small end of the stick a hole was put through to receive a line, and the same in the butt or large end. The sail-makers were set to work with some of the men who could handle the needle, and a covering of canvas, in the shape of an umbrella, was finished, from 12 to 13 feet long and from 23 to 24 feet across, and some small spars were reduced to about 3 or 3½ inches, and cut the required length, and four of these sticks were put into each canvas. The upper or forward end of these sticks was held together by a lanyard, and the after end was stopped to the canvas with a lanyard rope through and made fast to the butt end of the stick. (These sticks were made fast to the canvas only at the after end. In warping the ship the canvas would have a full sweep or circle, while the stick would remain straight.) Instead of sticks, lanyards made fast in the bolt rope and at the butt of the stick. The next morning, as soon as Captain Hull saw all the boats sent to help the Shannon up (the nearest English frigate) four boats were dropped from the Constitution and pulling under her bows from eight ten fathoms of line paid down to each boat, one end made fast to a ringbolt in the stern of the boat, the other end fast to the forward end of the umbrella. The umbrella was dropped into the water, with a line fast to the butt or after end. Then came the word, "Give away boys." In pulling from the ship the umbrella would abut up, and in pulling on board the umbrella would open. The lines fast to the umbrella were from 80 to 100 fathoms in length. By this arrangement but one boat was pulling from the ship at the same time, and in warping the ship each boat’s crew would be on their oars and were always ready to give away when the word was given, and in this way the crew would warp the ship through the waters from five to six miles per hour, and with this arrangement, had it continued calm, the whole English fleet could not have captured the Constitution. Mr. Woodwell says, with all the boats the Shannon had, they could not make as much headway as the Constitution, and for two reasons the officers of the Shannon did not want to get within good gunshot of the Constitution while the other ships were so far off; one reason was that he was satisfied the Constitution with her after guns would destroy her boats and part of the crews to each boat; and the second reason was that he did not want to encase the Constitution alone, knowing that he waste of water power in America for lack of electrical apparatus to transmit it is something enormous. If the power of waterfalls in places so accessible that it cannot be utilized could be transmitted forty or fifty miles to where it might be applied to advantage, all this power running to waste would be saved, would be cheaper than steam, and in the end possibly supersede it. In regard to the telephone, I am now at work on the magneto telephone and have obtained some very satisfactory results, but of these the time has not yet come for me to speak. I am desirous of improving central office management. The business has grown so fast as to create a real difficulty in handling it. It is a curious thing to consider that all improvements introduced in the telephone are not improvements of a permanent nature, but simply additions to the system introduced as a matter of expérience. This new growth has been enormous, and the system is a very complicated one. My aim is to try and simplify its workings. The introduction of the underground wire system necessitates the modification of the system as it now exists. That is the problem I am engaged on at present." "Is there any limit to the distance at which a message may be communicated by telephone?" "Distance is a minor consideration. If there was but one wire on the surface of the earth a man might talk all the way around the globe. The multitude of disturbing influences—telegraph wires, atmospheric disturbances and magnetic influences—overcome the telephonic action. I have already overcome such resistance as would be necessary to send a message around the world. I have talked through the bodies of thirty persons standing with their hands joined. That was in England some years ago, and there were some very distinguished people among the thirty. Among the papers that I will read before the Association for the Advancement of Science to morrow is one on a new method of signalling between vessels at sea. It is done by means of the telephone, and I cannot at present foretell what practical results it may lead to. Signals were successfully exchanged between two boats in deep water a mile and a quarter apart. In one boat was a telephone with one of its two terminals hanging over the bow and other trailing in the water over the stern. The arrangement was same in other boat, except that instead of a telephone it contained an electric battery, with an apparatus for interrupting current very rapidly—as often as 100 times in a second. Every time—the battery was connected with the water—the latter became charged and when the circuit was interrupted ceased to be so and a musical note was produced in the telephone of the distant boat. These results were obtained with a very imperfect apparatus. The musical note could be produced at will at different intervals, and we arranged an alphabet. A skillful operator could read a message communicated in this way with the greatest ease. The credit of discovery of this invention is not altogether mine. If Prof. Trowbridge of Harvard College had not had the idea of a galvanometer instead of a telephone, and of charging water with dynamo-electric waste of water power in America for lack of electrical apparatus to transmit it is something enormous. If the power of waterfalls in places so accessible that it cannot be utilized could be transmitted forty or fifty miles to where it might be applied to advantage, all this power running to waste would be saved, would be cheaper than steam, and in the end possibly supersede it.

I alone was responsible—we decided the simple, and at the same time the way, was to repair to Pennsylvania have another marriage service perform. This was done in the presence of wit in the city of Pittsburg in the month March, 1851, but was not otherwise made for obvious reasons. It was solemn to secure an indisputable validity, the marriage being by my wife and myself held sacred. At the mature age of not defend the wisdom or prudence secret marriage, suggested by the ardor experience of youth, but its honor and virtue were violated, as I believe, in the God, and cannot be made to appear rise by the wicked device of men. It is to me a companionship which has many chief happiness from boyhood's this hour, and has crowned me with a success I have attained in life. The child, a son, was born in his mother's house on the 18th day of 1851, in the city of Augusta, Me., and in her three years later.

New York, Sept. 18th.—A Philadelphia special says: At the State Fair this afternoon, Professor Arthur Todd, of the Wissahickon apiary, gave an exhibition of the method in which bees are manipulated. Quite unprotected by a head net or gloves he opened an old box hive full of bees, took out each comb separately and transferred it to a new hive. He carefully sliced off the covering of the cells, placed the combs on his extractor and emptied them of their sweet contents, then sought among the crowded colony for the queen bee, and having caught her, showed her to the audience, who were safely standing outside a gauze tent. Todd handled the little insects as if ignorant that they carry a sting, and appeared to be on terms of affection with them all. They crawled over the bald part of his head, swarming on his head and arms, and got caught in his beard, but seemed to think it was play. The audience was astonished. Several well-known apiaries were in the gauze tent with Todd. Butchers In Vera Cruz, under a new law, are compelled to produce cerebral concussion, or division of the spinal cord, in the killing of beevens. When symptoms of malaria appear in any form, take Ayur's Agne Cure at once, to prevent the development of the disease, and continue until health is restored, as it surely will be by use of this remedy. A cure is warranted in every instance. nected with the water the latter became charged and when the circuit was interrupted ceased to be so and a musical note was produced in the telephone of the distant boat. These results were obtained with a very imperfect apparatus. The musical note could be produced at will at different intervals, and we arranged an alphabet. A skillful operator could read a message communicated in this way with the greatest ease. The credit of the discovery of this invention is not altogether mine. If Prof. Trowbridge of Harvard College had not had the idea of a galvanometer instead of a telephone, and of charging the water with dynamo-electric machines in a similar way, the idea of applying the telephone for that purpose might not have occurred to me." The Professor thought that in this way vessels might discover their proximity to each other in a fog. Nearly all steam vessels have dynamo-electric machines to produce the electric light. This machine could be used to charge the water when the steamer runs into a fog, such as one always finds off the coast of Newfoundland, and would give an electric signal to any vessel dangerously near to it. An Essay on Cheese Making Last year the Wisconsin Dairymen's Association offered $15 for the best essay, containing not more than 250 words, on cheese making. The prize was won by Mr. T. D. Cartia, of Syracuse, N.Y. The essay was 239 words. It read: Pure, whole milk from healthy cows, in laxuriant pastures, or fed daily balanced rations install, is requisite. The more directly it goes to the vat, the better. If kept over night reduce the milk to sixty-five degrees Fah. An agitator, to keep the cream from rising, is desirable. Mix night's and morning's milk when ready to work. If cream is mixed in warm it and pass it through a wire strainer. Heat the milk slowly eighty-four or eighty-six degrees.

Slowly raise the temperature gently stirring all the while, to ninety-sight degrees. Hold it there to the end. Draw the whey as soon as there is the least sign of acid, or a little before. Get sufficient rennet action to expel the whey before the acid develops. This prevents the phosphates from washing out, and insures a digestible 'cheese,' when properly cured. If you choddar and grind or not thoroughly stir and air to get rid of bad odors and develop flavor.

[London Standard.] People who are already complaining of the heat while this summer is scarce a month old, says the XIXeic Siecle, should remember the extraordinary weather of former years. In 627 the heat was so great in France and Germany that all springs drilled up; water became so scarce that many people died of thirst. In 879 work in the fields had to be given up, agricultural laborers persisting in their work were struck down in a few minutes, so powerful was the sun. In 993 the sun's rays were so fierce that vegetation burned up as under the action of fire. In 1000 rivers ran dry under the protracted heat, the fish were left dry in heaps and putrefied in a few hours. The stench that ensued produced the plague. Men and animals venturing in the sun in the summer of 1022 fell down dying, the throat parched to a tinder and the blood rushing to the brain. In 1132 not only did the rivers dry up, but the ground cracked on every side and became baked to the hardness of a stone. The Rhine in Alsace nearly dried up. Italy was visited with terrific heat in 1139; vegetation and plants were burned up. During the battle of Bela, 1200, there were more victims made by the sun than by weapons; men fell down anastrack in regular rows. The A PRETTY HAND. Now it can be formed and how it should be taken care of. A writer in Demerald's Monthly says: The time to "form the hand," we are told, is youth. Any mother may give her daughter tapering fingers if she chooses to take the trouble; if she insists that there shall be a daily pinching of the finger tips, slight, of course, while the flesh is soft and yielding, and a nightly wearing of steel thimble. The latter is rather heroic treatment, and possibly to save us from this harbarous torture have been introduced in this country all the artistic devices of the Pariman manicure, in the management, development and cultivation of the fingers and nails. The finger tips are first put to soak in delicately colored finger bowls half full of tepid water, slightly perfumed. After twenty minutes of patient waiting, the operator takes one hand, and with an ivory blade or dull-pointed steel one, he loosens and pushes back the cuticle from the nail, the object being to expose the half-moon at the base, which is usually covered. When the flesh is well loosened, all the superfluous part is cut away with a pair of scissors, curved expressly for the purpose. The nails are then trimmed a fine oval shape, a little longer than and about the shape of the finger. After filing, a chamois polisher and a powder are used until the nails shine. The polishing is followed by a thorough washing and brushing. POMONA'S PROGRESS. A Letter That Could Move Beam Printed Last Week. POMONA, Sept. 17, 1884. Edton Ganette:—There has been some discussion as to which is the second town in Los Angeles county. Of course I believe Pomona is. We have the largest number of school children of any place in the county except Los Angeles; we have five church buildings and eight religious societies, which hold meetings every week. The Baptists completed their church a short time ago and it was dedicated without debt on the 7th of this month. It cost, including the lot, nearly four thousand dollars. The Presbyterians are having plans made for a church which they expect will cost five thousand dollars. Many are of the opinion that there are too many church organizations here for the good of Christianity, as the support of the various churches is a great burden on the people, and the constant demand for money for ministers and buildings is so great that many remain away from church on that account. It seems to me that three fair sized churches could be well supported here, and that all, unless very prejudiced, could find a home of one or the other. This would reduce the expense of ministers one-half. The political campaign has been opened here by both parties. Hon. A. A. Sargent spoke to a large audience and presented the living truths of Republicanism in a masterly and putrefied in a few hours. The stench that enaused produced the plague. Men and animals venturing in the sun in the summer of 1022 fell down dying, the throat parched to a tinder and the blood rushing to the brain. In 1132 not only did the rivers dry up, but the ground cracked on every side and became baked to the hardness of a stone. The Rhine in Alsace nearly dried up. Italy was visited with terrific heat in 1139; vegetation and plants were burned up. During the battle of Bela, 1200, there were more victims made by the sun than by weapons; men fell down sunrock in regular rows. The summer of 1277 was also severe; there was an absolute dearth of forage. In 1303 and 1304 the Rhine, Loire and Seine ran dry. In 1615 the heat throughout Europe became excessive. Scotland suffered particularly in 1625; men and beasts died in scores. The heat in several departments during the summer of 1797 was equal to that in a glass furnace. Meat could be cooked by simply exposing it to the sun. Not a soul dare venture out between noon and 4 P.M. In 1718 many shops had to close; the剧院 never opened their doors for several months. Not a drop of water fell during six months. In 1753 the thermometer rose to 118°. In 1779 the heat at Bologna was so great that a great number of people were stuffed. There was not sufficient air for breath, and people had to take refuge under ground. In July, 1793, the heat became intolerable. Vegetables were burned up and fruit dried upon the trees. The furniture and woodwork in dwelling houses cracked and split up; meat became bad in an hour. The rivers ran dry in several provinces during 1811; expedients had to be devised for the grinding of corn. In 1822 a protracted heat was accompanied by storms and earthquakes; during the drouth legions of mice overran Lorraine and Alsace, committing incalculable damage. In 1832 the heat brought about cholera in France; 20,000 persons fell victims to the visitation in Paris alone. In 1846 the thermometer marked 125° in the sun. Finally, the summers of 1859, 1860, 1869, 1870, 1874, etc.; although exceedingly hot, were not attended by any disaster. The Dakes-Nutt Vendetta. Uniontown (Pa.), Sept. 18.—Intense excitement has been caused by the discovery of an astrocious attempt to take the lives of all the members of the Nutt family. A well, from which the supply of water used in the Nutt household was drawn, was poisoned by some unknown miscreants. Two of the young lady members of the family are already dead and the other members of the family are ill. The first intimation of the horror was an announcement last evening of the sudden death of Miss Annie Nutt, aged 16 years, a sister of Miss Lizzie Nutt, whose betrayal by N. L. Dukes was followed by the tragic death of the young man's father and subsequently of Dukes, who was shot and killed by James Nutt. Up to Tuesday last Annie had been in the enjoyment of perfect health. On Wednesday she and all the other members of the family were taken suddenly ill and in twenty-four hours Annie was dead. After twenty minutes of patient waiting, the operator takes one hand, and with an ivory blade or dull-painted steel one, he loosens and pushes back the outcicle from the nail, the object being to expose the half-moon at the base, which is usually covered. When the flesh is well loosened, all the superfluous part is cut away with a pair of scissors, curved expressly for the purpose. The nails are then trimmed a fine oval shape, a little longer than and about the shape of the finger. After filing, a chamois polisher and a powder are used until the nails shine. The polishing is followed by a thorough washing and brushing in warm water, and then again the nails are rubbed, this time by the manicure's bare hand. For this process, which lasts about an hour, you pay a dollar or a dollar and a half. A visit twice a week to a manicure will keep the nails in a high state of polish and beauty; but this is hardly necessary, for with due care at home with a file, a chamois polisher, and powder which comes up in a dainty case, one may take very good care of her nails. The number of these toilet preparations under seductive names which the manicures have prepared is bewildering. A case complete in its appointments would contain a boxwood nail polisher, a nail-file and scissors, powder, a cosmetic for tinting the nails, zantic for bleaching them and to remove fruit and ink-stains, panza (a cream to soften and whiten the hands), and preparation warranted to cure biting the nails. But we do not find any recipe for making tapering fingers, so perhaps, we shall be obliged to resort to the old fashioned mode of wearing hard thimbles, and if we cannot have "professional" powders and cosmetics for our hands, there are various simple methods for making hands soft, smooth and white. Cold cream or glycerine well rubbed in and protected by a pair of old gloves, worn over night, are the usual remedies; but glycerine is poison for some hands, making them more rough and chapped than they were before its use. In this case the following is a preparation which might be used to advantage: The yolks of two fresh eggs beaten with two teaspoonfuls of the oil of sweet almonds, one ounce of rosewater and thirty-six drops of tineture of benzoin. Make a paste of this, and either anoint the inside surface of a pair of gloves with it, or spread it freely on the hands and draw the gloves on afterward. In most cases all that is needed to soften the hands is to rub sweet almond oil into the skin two or three days in succession. The hands are always improved by wearing at night gloves that fit tightly, especially if the gloves are of soft castor or dogakin. Following is a European recipe for whiteening the hands: Take one-half pound of soft soap, a guil of salad oil, an ounce of matton tallow, and boil together; after the boiling ceases add one gill of alcohol and a scarple of ambergris. Take a pair of gloves three sizes too large, open them and spread the inner surface with paste, then sew them up and they can be worn at night. Rubbing the hands well with almond oil each night, and plastering them with as much fine chalk as they can take, will usually whiten them in three days' time if they are not past all hope. Alkanet makes a good stain for the finger tips. Many church organizations here for the goal of Christianity, as the support of various churches is a great burden on the people, and the constant demand for money for ministers and buildings is so great that many remain away from church on that account. It seems to me that three fair sized churches could be well supported here, and that all, unless very prejudiced, could find a home of one or the other. This would reduce the expense of ministers one-half. The political campaign has been opened here by both parties. Hon. A. A. Sargent spoke to a large audience and presented the living truths of Republicanism in a masterly address. The Democrats had a torch light procession and made quite a show of numbers, but their speakers were certainly not up to the standard, and had very little to say about the Democratic party except its history previous to 1861. Both parties have clubs which meet each week. They expect to poll a vote of over three hundred, and there would be a hundred more votes but the parties have not been in the State long enough to get on the Great Register. The full strength of the Republicans will be out on Saturday to vote at the primaries; as there will be two or three tickets in the field. It is not so much of a question as to who the delegates will support for the various offices; as it is whether they will support the old clique, or ring; that has always controlled the party here, or oppose them. Anyhow, we are going to have a lively time and lots of fun. The crops here have been quite light this year, the quality poor and the prices very unsatisfactory. In fact, there is hardly any sold for hay or grain. Potatoes are scarred and are sold readily for $1 per hundred. Business is very dull, and our streets are quagmire compared to what they were a few months ago. Building has almost ceased. I do not think there are more than half a dozen buildings going up in the place. We expect a large immigration this fall. A number of lots have been sold to parties who expect to improve their this winter. We have three two-story brick buildings finished and occupied, and there are two kilns of brick ready for use. When times revive and business improves, I will write again and hope to be able to say that Pomona is "becoming." Yours, Nemo. Republican Proverbs. [From Blaine's Letter of Acceptance.] We seek the conquest of peace. The strength of this republic is increased by multiplication of landholders. Experiments in the industrial and financial system is the country's greatest dread as stability is its greatest boom. Citizenship of the republic must be the panolpy and safeguard of him who wears it. It is a good and which the Lord our God hath given us, but we can maintain our heritage only by guarding with diligence the source of popular power. Consuls should be commercial sentinel encircling the globe with watchfulness for their country's interests. The agricultural interests are by far the young lady members of the family are already dead and the other members of the family are ill. The first intimation of the horror was an announcement last evening of the sudden death of Miss Annie Nutt, aged 16 years, a sister of Miss Lizzie Nutt, whose betrayal by N. L. Dukes was followed by the tragic death of the young man's father and subsequently of Dukea, who was shot and killed by James Nutt. Up to Tuesday last Annie had been in the enjoyment of perfect health. On Wednesday she and all the other members of the family were taken suddenly ill and in twenty-four hours Aunie was dead. The explanation given by the family was that she died from indigestion, caused by eating a large quantity of unripe fruit. This morning, however, a horrible suspicion gained currency that the Nutt family had been poisoned and that Miss Annie was the first victim. This was confirmed by an examination of the water of the well, into which it was found poison had been thrown. Dr. John Fuller, the family physician, had advised the holding of a post mortem, and although Mrs. Nutt was at first unwilling, she finally gave her consent. This evening, Miss Nettie Nutt, another of the sisters, expired, and the news of her death was quickly circulated through the town, intensifying public opinion over the horrifying revelation. The water in the well is being analyzed. Young James Nutt, the avenger of his sister's honor, who is at home, and also his sister Lazzie, were both made ill, but their condition is not critical. She Swore Reluctantly A few days ago two ladies called at the Custom House to see about getting some important articles out of the halls of the Government officers. They were directed to the proper department, where a courteous deputy collector informed them that it would be necessary for the owner of the articles in question to make oath as to their character. This statement caused the elder lady evident distress. She remarked uneasily that she did not want to swear. "The law requires that you should swear to the facts," said the deputy collector, as he proceeded to fill out the necessary affidavit. "But I cannot—I really don't want to," expostulated the lady. "It is absolutely necessary that you should," replied the officer, and he immediately read, very rapidly, the usual form, "and you do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear," etc. The lady cast an appealing glance at the imparturbite officer, then looked magnificently at her smiling companion and made, "Well I suppose if I need I must," that the Lord have mercy on my soul—dunn it." The automated deputy collector explained to the lady the nature of the matter required. Following is a European recipe for whiteening the hands: Take one-half pound of soft soap, a gill of salad oil, an ounce of mutton tallow, and boil together; after the boiling ceases add one gill of alcohol and a scruble of ambergris. Take a pair of gloves three sizes too large, open them and spread the inner surface with paste, then sew them up and they can be worn at night. Rubbing the hands well with almond oil each night, and plastering them with as much fine chalk as they can take, will usually whiten them in threes' time if they are not past all hope. Alkanet makes a good stain for the finger tips. One-eighth of an ounce of chippings tied in a coarse-muslin bag and soaked for a week in diluted alcohol will give a "tincture of lovely ye." The tips of the fingers should be touched with cotton dipped in the mixture. The great requisite of beauty is absolute cleanliness, obtained by a plentiful use of pure soft water and good soap. Rain water or distilled water is the best, but as this is not always attainable, powdered borax is a necessary toilet article. It will make hard water soft and pleasant fomuse. Acids must be carefully avoided. To remove ink or vegetable stains the juice of the lemon will be found to answer the purpose. Fine white sand is also very good for removing stains. It will also soften the skin. Fill a wash basin full of fine white sand and suspend as hot as can be borne. Wash the hands in this five minutes at a time, brushing and rubbing them in the sand. Flint sand is the best, or the white powered quality that is sold for filters. It may be used repeatedly by pouring the water away after each washing. Rinse the hands in pure water. Corncobs as Fuel A Nebraska farmer writing to the Cultivator and Country Gentleman about fuel, says: "Some one complains about having a poor woodpile. We on the prairies have no wood, yet we have plenty of fuel ready for use. We buy some coal for use in winter, but corncobs constitute the farmers' fuel in summer, and make us a good fuel, too. We shall our corn in winter or spring; the cobs are piled in some dry shed or crbh, and there is no great woolpile to chop or scatter over the yard. If coal is scarce and corn very cheap in winter we think it no harm to burn a few bushels of corn. Our prospect for another heavy corn crop is good poor; small grain not as good; fruits all a success except peaches." Mr H. Cummar, Newton Brook, York Co., Ontario, Canada, states that he suffered with a painful sore on his right nankle, just after recovery from typhoid fever, and thus by a four external applications of St Jamaïc's Oil, the most pain cure, the lamp admitted and gradually disappeared. Try it. bythe multiplication of landholders. Experiments in the industrial and financial system is the country's greatest dread, as stability is its greatest boon. Citizenship of the republic must be the panolpy and safeguard of him who wears it. It is a good and which the Lord our God hath given us, but we can maintain our heritage only by guarding with diligence the source of popular power. Consuls should be commercial sentinel encircling the globe with watchfulness for their country's interests. The agricultural interests are by far the largest in the nation, and entitled in every adjustment of revenue laws to the first consideration. The law does not interfere with what a man believes; it takes cognizance of what he does. Religious liberty is the right of every citizen of the republic. The South needs capital and occupation, not controversy. The institutions of the United States rest upon the intelligence and virtue of the people. The people have the right to most efficient agents in the discharge of public business, and the appointing power should regard this as the prior and ulterior consideration. Labor is indispensable to the creation and profitable use of capital, and capital increases the efficiency and value of labor. Wages are unjustly reduced when an industrious man is not able by his earnings to live in comfort, educate his children, and lay by a sufficient amount for the necessities of age. Read and Judge New York, September 19.—The Tribune says: In to-morrow's issue will appear both series of the so-called Mulligan letters, the bundle carried by Fisher's book-keeper to Washington and read by Blaine in the house, and the additional installment published this week. For the benefit of honest publicans who may desire to make a careful conscientious study of the subject, the letters will be arranged in chronological order. Experience shows that the plan of adding to the transmitting power of belts by applying to them oil, resin or some adhesive substance, and by tightening them on the pulleys, is a disadvantage. The use of oil resin, etc., results in a direct waste of power; for so it gets gumy as it gets obl!, the belt sticks to the pulley requiring considerable power to separate it, and in times neutralizing all the advantages sought to be gained by his use.
