A Philadelphia saloon exhibits asone of its attractions a South Americanrat, weighing 15 pounds and larger thana hedge-ho- g, which is more than amatch for any dog that tackles it. AGerman brought it from its southernwilds; there is but one like it in thecountry, at Central Park, New York,and the officers of the Philadelphia Zo-ological Garden are trying to securethis specimen. Its favorite diet is pea-nuts.

He said that theside of the ship is torn away for about20 feet, but that the depth of the breachis not more than three or four feet at itswidest part.

A French authority, accounting forthe wondrous increase in the manufac-ture of watches by the Americans,makes this remarkable statement:" During the civil war Grant's soldierswere paid a dollar per day, and theyall bought watches. Europe not beingable to supply them, the Americans in-

A German law student at Nuremburgwas lately tried for killing, in a duel, anarmy officer with whom he hadaquar- -rel during his one year's compulsoryservice. There seems to have been nodoubt of the facts, and yet the jury gavea verdict of acquittal on the points,whether a duel had been fought, wheth-er the result had been fatal, and wheth-er the accused was the person guilty ofthat result. The feelings if the jury ledthem to disregard the facts and save thestudent from the law.

The Paris correspondent of the NewYork Graphic writes: "Apropos of

An interesting paper on earthquakesin Japan was" lately read before the Asi-atic Society of that country by a nativesavant. The record of all earthquakesoccurring in the larger cities of the em-pire has been kept with considerableregularity since the fifth century of theChristian era. The number of slightshocks is very large, and that

earthquakes is uncomfortablygreat. In fifteen centuries 140 destruc-tive earthquakes had been recorded.The recorded average is one great earth-quake in every ten years, but the nine-teenth century gives one in every fiveyears. Unusually high temperatureand strange atmosphenc changes havebeen noticed as precursors of great terrestrial convulsions, especially of theearthquake which desolated xeddo in1855. There have been several earth-quake shocks in Japan in the early partof the present year; one of them, on themorning of the 23d of February, lastedfully one minute, during which period,houses rocked like ships on an angrysea.

Photographing a Bace Horse.

The San Francisco Bulletin of June 14says: "About a year ago E. J. Muy-brid- gc

succeeded in producing a per-fect photograph of Leland Stanford'strotter, Occident, while moving at fullspeed. The photograph was the first ofa series to show the various motions atrotter's feet and legs pass through inmaking one stride when in full motion.The interest of that particular photo-graph was greatly enhanced because itshowed the position the horse was in atthe moment when his forefoot struckthe ground. It completely upset allprevious theories concernine the shapeof the leg and the part of the foot whichfirst touched the ground. The photograph represents the horse's ioreleg,projecting at considerable of an anglebefore him, straight as an iron bar, theheel touching the sod and the toe wenabove the ground. Since then Mr.Muvbridge has brought electricity toplay an important part in the work oftaking the negative of a fast moving ob-

ject, and with its aid ho has obtainedevery change in a trotting horse's position while making a complete stride. Adozen photoirraDhs show the variouspositions of Occident's body, legs, andfeet, while traveling at a 2:24 gait, ina stride of 18 feet o inches. JLhe photographs show that a fast trotter's feetare all off the ground at the same timetwice during the making of the stride,although the best accepted authoritieson this subject have repeatedly assertedthat a trotting horse always has one footon the ground while in action. Thesephotographs have been taken by Mr.Muybridge atMenlo Park, where appa-ratus for this special purpose has beenerected at a cost to Mr. Stanford of atleast 2,000. The camera is exposedana uncovered in a iwiqkiu, uy tuecinulty, which is under the complete con-

trol of the operator. A board-fenc- e onthe opposite side of the track has beenlined and marked in feet, and a row ofcameras are placed to correspond withthese, so that the position of the horseon the track, as well as the form of hisbody and limbs, is definitely determin-ed. The pictures are a wonderful triumph in photography."

A Poverty-stricke- n Man in Luck.

The Cincinnati ZYmessays: It wasduring the war that a well known business man of this citv kept gossip going.and his money, too, in the whirl andexcitement of a fast life, lie had largearmy contracts, and from them his resources came. The money, easily obtained, was m truth thrown away, liehad barrels of it; estimates as to hismeans were not infrequently placed attwo or more millions of dollars ; he hadall the attributes of a prodigal ; in fasthorses, fast women ; an unquenchablethirst for wines, and the desire to betalked about as a man about town. Hewas as generous as he was reckless, andfair-weath- er mends swarmed about mmThey helped themselves to his funds andsang his giones as long as he nad a dol-lar to spend. In the height of his follyhe thought of what was to come, theinevitable death. What men saidabout him living Duffed uo hisvanity, but what they would sayabout him dead must depend uponthe splendor with which he could go outof the world, uver his grave he wantedto have the most imposing monumentin Spring Grove. To prepare for thispossession he, one day, extracted fromins Government bonds sza.UUU, and put-ting them in an envelope, which, beingsealed and endorsed "proposals," heplaced in his safe. In his round of dis-sipation the monument and every thingconnected with death slipped from hismemory. The natural sequence of hismode of living, distressing poverty.cameupon him. He did not have a dollar intime. His family barely had enough tokeep soul and body together. Hishorses, diamonds, fine house, businessand friends passed away. In the wreckhe mourned his folly, and worked atwhatever he could get to do.

Among the things left to him werebarrels and boxes filled with valuelesspaper. Years went on without improve-ment in his affairs, until last Mondayevening. While overhauling the con-tents of one of the barrels, the packagemarked " proposals" spurred his curi-osity somewhat. He broke the seals,tore off the wrapper, and to his aston-ished gaze 25,000 in bonds were re-vealed. They were the monument fund,long forgotten, and now resurrectedwhen a dollar to him was as big as athree-she- et poster.

A SHOWER OF, FIG LEAVES.

Th Delicate Manner In Which WomanBrought a. Cincinnati Hsa to Terms.Cincinnati is certainly the Paris of

America. . For the last few, weeks a boyin a jewelry store which runs back be-hind a hotel on Fourth Street has occa-sionally observed male garments thrownout of the rear window of that buildinginto an alley. Sometimes a hat wasflung down, and sometimes a coat, butgenerally it was a 'pair of pantaloonsthat came tumbling fiom the upperchamber. window, sprawling through theaiicruuwu air u&b, a nan, Sleepy Xiuiy-chus.'T-

first article'that the hoy no-ticed wa3a0i)alf of breeches? of fine.dark cloth; wittff65 in the pocket of it,and.be errid-i-t iritolibe-qhotel- , wherethe clerkreceived it andhung it up un-til W woman sent down for it. Two daysafterwards well worn pepper and saltpantaloons jcame tumbling out: Theboy took these into the .hotel also; andwaited further revelations. He foundthat the rain of masculine attire wassomething more than a shower, and' ashis services in picking up the cast-o- ut

but not cast-of-f articles came frequentlyinto requisition, he began to make theeccentricities of the lodger on the fourth-stor- y

backroom profitable by collectinga small fee for restoring clothes foundin the alley.! r J

On one occasion the boy earned anextra quarter by climbing on a shed torescue a coat which lodged there, awoman coming dowU herself to' recoverthe garment which she had flung out ashort time before. 'At first it wasthoughtby casual observers in theneighborhood that' a married coupledwelt in the upper chamber and occa-sionally indulged in matrimonial quar-rels, in the course of which the wife gavevent to her exuberant feelings by throw-ing out all of her husband's clothes thatshe could lay hands on. But a familyjar in which a wife proceeds to suchlengths rarely occurs oftener than oncea week, and there was a fall of trousersnearly every day. Besides, the samegarment never came from thewindowa second time, and even supposing amarried man with a score of suits, itwould be improbable that an angrywife should invariably select an articlefor ejectionwhich she had not thrownout before i-- Above all, in case the gar-ments were flung down in a matrimo-nial quarrel the husband would havebeen obliged to send down for his ownclothes. It was clear, therefore, thatthe woman in the upper chamber wasnot burdened with a husband, that thegarments which she threw out belongedto different men, and that the regularitywith which she sent after them indicateda method in her madness. One of her.victims has had her arrested and hasrevealed the secret of her mysteriousconduct.

It is a heatrending tale, exhibiting aninstance of fiendish and malignant cun-

ning unexampled in the history of feminine crime. In fact, to borrow aphrase from Mrs. Bishop, nothing morediabolical has ever come to light in thehistory of the JNew lork .Legislature.The heroine of the Fourth Street Hotel,a Mrs. Lucas bv name, had discoveredthat a civilized man caught in daylighthalf-dress- is the most abject creaturealive, starting at a shadow, fleeing whennothing pursues, and retaining, evenafter he has adopted the theory that hisoriginal ancestor was an intelligent apes niKnrnnl KoVtifa liin TP rf innshame which made Adam veil himselfwith fig-leav- Out of this weaknessMrs. Lucas cruelly resolved to makemoney. She reasoned, with the coldcalculation of a demon, that if shecould gat a man isolated and deprivehim of some one of his essential garments, she could make him pay anysum for its restoration.

Day after day in the heart of thegreat city of Cincinnati she sought hervictims and lured them to her den onthe pretense of a business engagement.Each poor dupe as he entered herchamber had a pistol pointed at hishead and was ordered to divest himselfof some portion of his attire. When hecomplied his captor suddenly flung thegarment outof the window,and demand-ed 'vellow gold for the ransom of hiswardoobe. The miserable being cowering at her mercy could only beseech heron his bended knees to restore theclothes and ,:take the half ,of his wealth.Whereupon she called a waiter, sentaown.to me Doy in me auey a wreicneupittance and dismissed her visitor,clothed but no longer in his right mindand afraid to relate his misadventure.It is to be hoped that this Lydia Sher-man, Lucretia Borgia and the phenom-enal criminal of her sex, will meet withthe punishment which she deserves. Inthe meantime we repeat that Cincinnatiis indeed the Paris of America. NewYork World Editorial.

Educating the Chinese.

For some time past the general opin-ion (based upon the testimony of thosewho were supposed to know whereofthey affirmed, that the Chinese were notsusceptible of improvement), has beenaccepted without any serious efforts todetermine its reliability. Mr. DavidJones, who, for two years, has beenlaboring as a missionary among theChinese at Evenston, Wy. T., has com-menced a mission school in a third-stor- y

room of Farwell Hall, in Chicago. Hehas enlisted the sympathies and aid ofa number of young ladies and gentle-men in their behalf, and already, in twoweeks' time, evidences of improvementare perceptible. They display a re-

markable aptitude for language, andcan bo taught the alphabet in an hour'stime. What they once learn they neverforget. They like to talk, and evidentlyprefer the ladies for teachers. Mr.Jones desires to assistin starting schoolsfor the Chinese at other places. Thiswork of education he considers indis-pensable to their Christianization. Hedoes not consider it even a difficult un-dertaking, provided the work can be in-

creased in scope, and that laborers canbe procured sufficient to the work.

Quack Catarrh Medicine.

Some time ago a man was throughthis section selling some sort of stuff tocure catarrh. While at' Canisteo hesold a bottle to the foreman of the f ill

factory in that village, whowas suffering from a cold in the head,who used it with very peculiar effect.Ever since, for the space of two weeks,he has, while walking, all the symptomsof a man two-thir- intoxicated? Hehas not been able to walk across thefloor without staggering. He has beencompelled to stop work for the past twoweeks, and although gradually comingont of it is still confined to his house.Other parties who nave ued it havebeen similarly affected.

The Dead Qieen Mercedes of Spala.

There seems to be a fatal star shiningover Spanish royalty. The position ofthe Kings of Spain has at all times beenprecarious enough; but the fate of theQueens is possibly still worse. ' Naturalcalamities) join in their ilives politicaldisasters. Ex-Que- en Christina is livingthe life of an exile in Paris. Ex-Que-

Isabella is in a like position. Ex-Que- en

Maria, wife of Amadeo,-aa- d to take toflight out of child-be- d, and, never hav-ing recovered from the shock; diedwhen barely 30 years old. And nowQueen Maria de las Mercedes is car-ried away after only five months of wed-lock.

Deep and sincere will be the popularsorrow Jboth in Spain and outside, for.itwas well known that the marriage of Al-

fonso XII. was not an ordinary royalunion it was a love match. The hus-band.a-

wife, being, in this case firstcousins," were brought up together.Their affection for each other oyercameall political difficulties and even the ani-mosity pt their parents. Queen Isabelladetests the Duke of Montpensier, whoconspired with Serrano and Topete fornerovennrow in ibob. She has eversince .objected to her eon having anything to do with the family of-he-r brother-in--

law; yet Alfonso's attachment tohis 'cousin stood unshaken. He wasseparated from her for over six years;but the moment he came to power andwas enabled to return to Spain, he de-clared that his' personal sympathiesshould not be regulated either by' Cabi-net Ministers or by his relations, andthat he would not marry any woman ex-cept the one he had loved from hischildhood.

Strangely enough, this love-matc- h

came to be the realization of an old po-litical scheme. It was always the dreamof the late King Louis Philippe to makean alliance between his dynasty and thatof the Spanish Bourbons. Almost everyone of his sons was in turn proposed asthe husband of the young and then maid-en Queen Isabella; but England put inher veto. Intensely jealous of any in-crease of the power of France, she de-

clared that no Prince of the' reigningFrench dynasty should be the consort ofthe Queen of Spain. The long contestwhich-too- k place in regard to this sub-ject between the Cabinets of Guizot andSir Robert Peel will always stand amemorablo page in the diplomatic his-tory of Europe. It resulted in a victoryfor the English. Isabella was marriedto a man she detested, Don Franciscod'Assise, and by way of compensation toFrance, her sister, Maria Louisa, wasallowed to become the wife of LouisPhilippe's youngest son, the Duke ofMontpensier.

The members of the Orleans dynastydid not, however, despair of attainingtheir object- - From the beginning ofIsabella's misrule they exerted all theirefforts to put Montpensier upon thethrone of Spain. But the Spaniardshated the French too intensely to giveany hope of success to a scheme of thisnature. They refused to accept himeven as a deputy in the Cortes.

After this defeat at the elections, theDuke retired from political life and be-

came a naranjero, an orange merchant,as he is popularly called, on account ofthe immense orange plantations he pos-sesses around Seville. The constantlygrowing affection between his daughterand the son of the made himevidently confident that if ho was una-ble to get the crown for himself, itwould at all events be secured for oneof his descendants.

And he was not mistaken. On the22d of last January his third daughterbecame the Queen of Spain. The nup-tial ceremony was performed in the an-cient Church of Atocha by the CardinalPrimate, assisted by the Patriarch ofthe Indies and a long array of other dis-tinguished priests. The ceremony wasof unusual splendor even for Spain,where pageantry is carried to absurdextravagance. The festivities through-out the country lasted five days ; andnobody would have believed that fivemonths later the nation would be throwninto mourning.

The bereaved widower is not fully 21years of age. The poor Queen was IVon Monday last. New York Sun.

CoBSBraptlon Dae to Insufficient Nour-ishment.

The alarming increase of mortalityfrom consumption has aroused tho at-tention of many earnest thinkers out-side tho medical fraternity. Statisticsshow that this disease carries off morevictims in a year than the most fatalepidemic; ana various plans are pro-posed by which the power of the terri-ble scourge may be in a measure de-creased. Especially in New England,where the climate is severe and the peo-ple energetic and enterprising; "whereit is considered effeminate to dress heav-ily, to have a sleeping-roo-m warmed, orto favor one's self in the matter ofwork," there consumption rules andreigns. An editorial in the July num-ber of Scribner, commenting on thissubject, charges much of theof New England to tho "thin diet" sys-tem of Graham, from which the peoplehave not yet entirely recovered. Stu-dents starved themselves, took longtramps while fasting, and died by hun-dreds. The writer considers sawdust aswholesome and nutritious a diet asbuckwheat cakes and molasses. Goodbread and butter, milk, fruit, nutritiousbeef or mutton and nice puddings, thesehe considers the necessaries of life, in-

sufficient nourishment being one of thechief causes of lung diseases. To in-

crease the vitality to a dominant pitchrenders the tubercles already depositedin tho lungs harmless. " We have seenconsumption cured again and again,"he says, "by the simple process ofbuildingup the forces of vitality throughpassive, exercise in the open air, and thesupply of an abundance of nutritiousfood; and wo have no doubt it can beprevented in most instances by the samemeans."

Fatal Nlgktaare.

Last week Thursday a number of theresidents of the quiet village of Claren-don engaged in a friendly game of ball.Among them was Lyman Preston, aEainter by trade, and a man respected

one. He was about 55 yearsof age, and had never known a day'ssickness. On the day in question heseemed to be in more than usually per-fect health and spirits. When he wentto his home at night he partook of ahearty meal and went to bed. Sometime during the night his family wereawakened by hearing him groan in away peculiar to him when suffering fromthe nightmare, to which he was fre- -.

quently subject. Tney accordinglywent to him and tried their best toawaken him, but in vain he died. Hiscase was investigated by several phy-sicians of the vicinity, who pronouncedit a case of nightmare and nothing more.

m aSmoke Consumers.

The Cincinnati Gazette describes aplan in use in that city for consumingthe smoke of furnaces of steam-boiler- s.

There are, it says, two fires, one undereach end of the boiler, fed from the side.When one fire is fairly burning the sec-ond fire is kindled, and by shifting thedraught the smoke from the new lire iscarried over the live coals in the fur-nac- o

first started, and is consumed.The fires thereafter are replenished al-

ternately, and thus the consumption ofsmoke is continued. The device is inoperation on a large scale in the steamfurnaces of a heavy engine attached toone of the inclined plane railways thatlift Cincinnati people to the tops of thesurrounding hills. The result, as vouch-ed for by the proprietor of the concern,is that the consumption of smoke iscomplete, and the saving of fuel about40 per cent.
