A Detroit despatch says : A terrible tragedy occurred on Wednesday night at the house of J. A. MeLsin, a. farmer living six miles north of Uoopers‘ville, Ottswa county, Mich. A tramp stopped at the house, and undertook to run things there- ahouts according to his own fancy. Mr. MeLsin and his son resented such action on the fellow’s part, and drove him from the house. The son then went' for assist: ance to protect the house from the tramp's violence, and on his return found his father deed. having been killed by a shot from 8. revolver. The officers and neighbors were aroused, and evary effort is being made to catch the villain who did the shooting. Should he be caught he will undoubtedly be lynched.

For many years the question how the force of Niagara could be put to practical use at a distance has puzzled inventors, engineers and men of science. The solution of the problem at last fell to a resident of this city, who is too modest to permit the use of his name. The power, it may be stated, has been in practical use for a week or ten days, and gives perfect eatlsfaction.

A last (Tuesday) night’s London cable- gram says : The British man-oi-war Valiant has gone to Tory Island to render assistance and obt nu details of the wreck of the gunboat Wasp. The weather was hazy when she struck. About 3 o'clock in the morning the ofiioer of the watch ordered sail to be set for the purpose of steadying the boat, as a lumpy sea was on. The order was being carried out when the Wasp, which it is surmised was greatly out of her course. without the slightest warning struck upon a rock. The vessel rebounded into the deep water, and it was found a gaping hole had been made in her him. and it was impossible for her to keep afl )at. Six of her crew escaped by clinging to the the wreckage, from which they were picked up by fishing boats. The Wasp foundered about forty feet from the lighthouse. The masts are visible. The survivors when rescued were terribly exhausted and were taken to the lighthouse, where they still remain. The sea between the lighthouse and the mainland was very rough and com- munication was almost impossible.

This alarm was soon as read, and the husband, Mr. LaRiviere and many other settlers started in search of the little one. They looked everywhere, but met with no success, Early in the morning, however, after travelling some three miles over the prairie, Mr. LaRiviere found the infant child covered with mud, its face somewhat bruised, and saddest of all was that death stared him in the lace. There was a very heavy wind blowing that night, and it must have carried the child before it.

The little 10-year-old girl testified : “ I took the can of alcohol and hid it upstairs by my bed to keep pups. and mamma from drinking any more. Freddy found the can and drank a. lot of the alcohol. I saw him come downstairs ; he staggered and fall into my lap, and then I knew he had been drinking. He couldn’t speak. I pulled him on my lap, and pretty soon he got down and lay on the floor and went to sleep. He never woke up any more. Ha slept all day Monday and wouldn’t wake up. In the afternoon he was crazy. He batted his head against the Wall and had fits. He died this morning.” Which is Very Much More Dignificd Than Ihe Usual Way. When I was in Philadelphia, says Robin- son in the Somerville Journal, a little ragged girl approached me and said : “ My papa drinks, my me: is sick with con- sumption, please will you give me a penny 7" I? was the old plea and it was successful. When I came on to Boston I was approached by a little girl of similar appearance, and as she was about to speak I said : “ I know all about it; your father drinks, your mother is sick with consumption, and you wanta penny.” “Pardon me, sir,” she observed, with great dignity, as she removed a pair of rusty, steel-framed spectacles, and carefully wiped the solitary glass they contained with a shred of her tattered shawl. “Pardon me, sir. I was about to observe that it pains and humiliates me beyond measure to be obliged to confess that my pa is addicted to the habitual use of alcoholic stimulants, and is frequently, indeed.

F. Patch, who was summoned just before the child's death, said the child was then in the last stages of alcoholic poisoning.

VOL. XXVII. THE BOSTON WAY. The “‘01! Comet. On the 26th of July the lighthouse keeper at Cape Reykjanes, the southwest point of Iceland, on scanning the sea with his glass, saw what he at first took for a very large ship, but which a closer inspects ion showed to be a new island. It had the form of arounded flattened cone, was of considerable size, and lay, according to his estimate, about fourteen miles northwest of the volcanic island Eidey or - the Meal- sack (Melsekken), which lies eight miles off Reykjanes to the southwest. Several earthquake shocks had been felt during the preceding day, and they have since occurred at intervals, but no other volcanic mani- festations heralded or attended the rise of the island. Owing to the danger of approaching the island in an open boat, no one has yet attempted to land on it. The light keeper has observed it from day to day when not prevented by foggy weather, and reports no change in it; appearance, save that a large part of one side of the cone appears to have slipped or fallen down into the sea. From time to time since the colonization of 106:1th volcanic islands have sprung up out of the waves in the neighborhood of Reykjanes. only to disap- pear again aiter a brie! period. In the end of last century an island arose at or near the same place as the present one occupies, and was taken possession of by the Danes. under the name of N309 (New Island) ; but as it consisted only of loose volcanic ash and pumice, the action of the waves speedily broke it down, and after little more than a month it disappeared.-â€"â€"St. James‘ Gazette. Astronomers are looking expectantly for the reappearance of the “star of Bethle- hem." The theory concerning the star is based on a poetical foundation, which has little to support it. Early in 1572 Tycho Brahe discovered a minute star in the con- stellation Cassiopea. It increased in bril- liancy until it became as bright as Venus. and 'oould easily be seen at midday. It began to grow dim in a month. and in 16 months had disappeared from View. Asearoh of astronomical records showed that similar astronomical occurrences had taken pl ice in the years 945 and 1264, the stars in question appearing in the same regions of the sky. Brahe figured that the star was a variable one With period of 308 years, during which time it remained quiescent, only to burst out at the end of it with a brilliant light caused by eruptions in its body. The star has been due now since 1880, and if it ever appears again it will have to do so next year. Hence the astronomical anxiety. Georgia is not through yet with her wonders. A gentleman of Gainesville, 9. young man still in his teens, comes to the front with an invention for which, it is said, he has refused $12,000. It is a money- drawer so ingeniously arranged that by the, simple pulling of a spring any piece of money, from a nickle to a dollar, can be seemed at once. and also any amount of change one might wish. If desired to get change for any bill, in any possible way, embracing any number of mine of different denominations, it can be obtained in a second of time, and there is not a need of glancing at it to see it correct, for it can’t be wrong. He has just established a factory at Cincinnati tor the manufacture of these drawers. The honeymoon of a Chicago couple was spent in the romantic and plouuresque occupation of camping out on the shore of Lake Michigan ; but the plan seems to have failed, for they finally emerged from the woods at opposite sides, and are to be 1 gully separated by a divorce. The Main Dresses lien bv the Virgin Queen of England. When the bright Occidental star, Queen Elizabeth, passed away she left in her wardrobe, according to the historiograph- ers, two thousand dresses, says the London Telegraph. Chroniclers have augmented the royal trousseau to as many as four thousand dresses; but it is pissible that the whole of Her Majesty’s wearing apparel was included in this vast catalogue, and that it comprised not only veritable gowns of velvet, silk, damask and tafiety, and double-wheeled fardyngales, but likewise mantles of vair, shapperoons or hoods, eschelles of ribbon, petticoats pranked with tissued panes, smocks wrought ,with thread of gold, tote mantels for riding on horseback, and tuned flockets. In any case. the queen’s maids of honor and the bed-chamber and tiring women must have had a good time of it when the spoils of Her Majesty were divided, or when, as is more likely, they were appropriated on the principle of first come first served, without any reference to equitable division at all. The strangest of vicissitudes must have been undergone by these scattered parapheru nalia, which, but for the practice that pre- ‘ vailed down In 1830 cl selling or otherwise disposing after the decease of the clothes worn by royal personagss, might, to a great extent, have remained intact, and have been preserved in local museums, even as the Marquis of Abergavenny has lent to a literary institution at Tunbridge Wells the peer’s robes worn by his ancestor at the trial of Mary Queen of Scots, at Father- ingav. Some of Queen Elizabeth’s belong- ings passed, however, into safe hands, where they are as religiously treasured as the shirt and doublet in which Charles I. was dressed at this execution and the naval uniform worn by Nelson at Trafalgar. Among the relics of the attire of the virgin queen whichhaveicome down to us assuredly one of the most curious and most inter- esting is the silk stockings in the possession of the Marquis of Salis- bury, whieh he has recently lent to the company of framework knitters, to enhance the attractions of their display in the “ Old London ” section of the Interna- tional Health Exhibitioth has been already painted out that these stockings cannot be the historical hose celebrated by Stowe as having been presented to the Queen on New Year’s Day, 1560. by her silkwoman, Mrs. Montague, which, after .a few days’ wear- ing, 0 pleased Her Majesty that she de- clared them to be pleasant, fine and deli- cate, and that thenceforward she would never wear any more cloth stockings, which promise she kept until her death, more than forty years afterward. The stock- ings, however, made memorable by Stowe, were, be explicitly states, of “ black knit silk ; ” whereas, the hose which Lord Salis- bury has sent to the Health Exhibition are of undyed silk. The circumstance does not in the slightest degree militits against the genuineness of the relic ; as the Queen probably wore very mfly dozen Day, 1660, and the MErqula’loan may be of them.

The Dude: Appertnining Io 'Ihe several ofllces. List of the Great Officers of Vio- toria’s Court. THE QU EEN’S HOUSEHOLD. The Canada Lancet has a learned leading article on the beauties of buttermilk as an article of diet. It points out that the por- ridge eaters and buttermilk drinkers of Ireland and Scotland are not 9 celled by any other people in soundness of ody and clearness of head, and gives many learned reasons why buttermilk should be in greater demand among Canadians that it is now. Buttermilk, says our contemporary, is a true milk peptonoidâ€"that is the fashionable word of the dayâ€"milk already digested. It is good food and drink for young and old, sick and well. As it is food, it should not be often taken between meals, as it is'the habit of many people. Being an agreeable drink, it is too freely used. Sick persons, who partake of little or nothing else, may partake much oftener, and more freely. Although containingabout the same quality of nutrition as sweet milk, yet patients appear to be able to con- sume at ease at least double the quantity of buttermilk. Buttermilk is especially valu- able as a laxative, and may be used with great benefit in cases of typhoid. This after is a hint for its use in habitual consti- pation. Buttermilk is a diuretic and may be prescribed with advantage in some kidney troubles. Because of acidity, it exercises a good impression on the liver, and is well adapted to many cases in which lime-water and milk are usually prescribed. It is valu- able in the treatment of diabetes, either exclusively or alternately with skim milk. If these facts were generally known, the pigs might come in for a smaller share of buttermilk than they do, and it might be less need as a fertilizer oi the soil, for in many farm-houses the milk is simply thrown out. I believe that much that is said about fetish-worship rests on no solid foundation ; neither a kind of worship nor any serious service is addressed to the harmless toy we call a fetish, but only a mysterious good or evil‘spirit is fancied to dwell within it. A negro, as is his habit, is sitting and toink- ing about nothing. Casually he casts his eye upon a knotty limb of strange. growth that may bear some indistinot resem- blance to a human face. Amused at it. he takes a knife and makes an eflort to help out nature by scratch- ing the nose, mouth and eyes into plainer prominence. At last the thing appears so curious that he concludes he Will take it home and set it up before his hut. It became ,his “ fetish," and grins to-day pleasantly, to-morrow with a cross air, at him. To heighten the effect, he paints it red around the eyes, or adorns it with bright ornaments. In some such way as this, I believe, we may explain the origin of the first images of the gods, new illustra- tions of which we may still observe to be brought before ya from time to time. I do not regard theprocess as a religious one, but rather as an instance at the develop- ment of the first idea of armâ€"Mam BucknerI in Popular Science Monthly.

A case has Just come to light in Chicago where a pawnbroker loaned a poor woman with a sick husband $25 on a mortgage on her furniture. The interest paid was $3 per month, and the mortgage was renew- able every three months. when 355 50 was charged for making out the papers. She thus paid 958 per year for the use of $25 Another woman paid a broker $171 in interest on a loan of $51. and then, after paying one-half of the principal, the wretches foreclosed the mortgage, taking everything she had, even to her bed, out of the house. It came out in a Tennessee lawsuit that the ardent letters sent by a. girl to her lover had been composed tor another fellow, but that. on transferring her affections sud- denly, she had erased the original name and inserted a. new one. “ But my father was born in this country in a Methodist sethlement, and so he grew up a Methodist.” Still ‘no sign of approval from the old man, and so Vance 1: 30k his last shot. and said: “ But my good old mother was a.

In one of these instances an advertiser for a boarding pl-ice requests all replies to be addressed to " Moderate.” How suggestive of his expectation of reasonable terms] Then, again, the woman who advertises for assistance in her troubles 'gives “ Unfortunate ” as her address, in order to keep the latter in harmony with her appeal. " Non-inquisi- tive " is appended to another advertise- ment, and as the latter calls for rooms and board the signature suggests the nature of the case too clearly to require any explana- tion._ Another advertisement of similar character hide the reader address “ Die- creet,” a word which in this connection has a'welI-nnderstocd meaning. Another word which is often found among a certain class of advertisers is “ Quiet,” and it sometimes appears as “ Very Quiet." In this connection it also has a ccnven~ tional meaning so well understood that when a very quiet person advertises for board no explanation is required. Occa- sionally an advertisement appears offering board and bidding applicant! address “Secluded.” This at once suggests that concealment which is required by an evil life, and in this manner a single word is made to indicate a purpose. Po the curious and those who wish to ponder awhile on the inimutability of human things. there is no place where a better opportunity is ofiered than on the little islands in the harbor where lie the bones of hundreds of the departed noble red men, who have gone to the happy hunting grounds of the Great Spirit. Lying promiscuoust around are bleached bones and grinning skulls, remnants of clothing and fragments of the utensils of those that are placed there in rough wooden boxes. The ordinary Indian does not seem t) have much attantion paid to-him, and part of. him may be in an uncovered box and the rest scattered over the rocks, along with numerous shells. In several places the boxes are covered ovar and an effort made to preserve some idea of respect, while an occasional skeleton of a canoe will be found along with‘ the bones of its former living owner.‘ How their glory has departed! Those who were first in the chase and in war now lie there a neglected heap of bleached bones and corruption, while the remnant of the once wild and free race are gradually disappearing from the face of the earth by contact with the whites. Along the shores of the bay where once glided their sw1ft canoes, are now built the wharves of the white man, and the sails of many nations flutter in the breeze.

That was a puzzlerâ€"Vance didn’t belong to any church. He knew that religion and meeting was a big thing in the backwoods. and controlled their politics, but he didn’t know what their religion was, for North Carolina was powerfully spotted. But he squared himself for the responsibility, and says he: ‘9; Well. now, my triend,I will tell you about that, for it is a fair question. 0! course it is. Well, you see my grandfather came from Scotland, and you know that over in Scotland everybody is Presby- terian.” Here he paused to note the effect, but saw no sign of sympathy with his grandpa. to make their acquaintance, and cracked his jokes around. and thought he was getting along pretty ‘well with them, but he noticed an old man with shaggy eyebrows and big. brass spectacles sitting on a chunk and marking in the sand with a stick. The old man didn’t seem to pay any attention to Vance, and after a while Vance concluded that the old man was bellwether to the flock scams: it was hébeSsary t6 ch’pture him, so he sidled up close to him and the old man got up and shook himself and leaned forward 'on his stick, and said, solemnly : " This is Mr. Vance, I believe ?” “ Yes, sir,” said Vance.

A SENATOR’S STORY. Indian Graves. A few months since a question was raised about the measurement of land in vogue in the British American Colonies before they became known to history as the United States. The English Board of Trade was appealed to for intormation as to when the existing foot measure was established in America, and whether it might have diflered at any time from the foot measure of Great Britain. In reply, the Board stated that the standard yard of Henry VIII. still exists, and is probably of exactly the same length as the old Saxon yard. It is a solid brass rod, and was con- stantly used for the verification of other yards till the reign of " good Queen Bess." Altar allowing for the estimated wear, it is found to be of the same length as the present standard yardâ€"Oanmt Trade Review.

The Ward’s Island Hospital, New York, is perhaps the largest, havmg 420 beds. The death-rate among the 5,369 patients treated there was only 5 per cent.. which is considered low.

' My experience is that the most inveterate ” rusher ” in the United States gradually becomes subdued by residence in England. The atmosphere of deliberation enters into his active bones and conquers him, and, after a few months, he orders his existence so that it is never necessary to make haste over anything; He always catches his train, all the same, and he never misses the post ; but of the fiery, untamed mus- tang of ‘Wall street and Broadway, the alert, (juick silvery “ hummer ” of Delmonico‘s and the cotton market, there is left no trace. He has replaced the fever of our existence at home by the normal temperature of life in England, a contrast and a'change which is unspeakably grateful to people who have been bounding through space in the invigorating atmos- phere of the western world.
