The wreck of the lost steamer is scattered along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan for & distance of seventy miles. It is the impression of experienced mariners that the vessel met her fate near the curtains and m irror wei-e bespattered with blood, and there is a hole made in the plastering of the ceiling by an up-stroke of the weapon. Dried apples from hanging racks were scattered about the room. Part of Mrs. Williams' hair was pulled out, land it is supposed she started to escape, and that he caught ner by the hair and dragged her back. Though an extraordinar ily strong woman, she was no match for the armed maniac. The old folks, being feeble, could make little resistance. The back of Mrs. Williams' head was pounded in, her teeth knocked out, and her skull broken in over the right eye, and her lips cut open.

THE religious decrees have been en- urea ranged from 1 in 163 in the year 1871 to 1 in 75 in 1876. How many busi ness men in a thousand fail, once or more, during their business lifetime, I cannot learn. Tlie proportion used to be estimated for New England at 97 per cent. That is probably too high a fig ure for tho business of to-day, conduct ed, as it is, upon much shorter credits than formerly. But the proportion of traders who fail is probably not lower than 75 per cent, of the whole number. How many of our people live upon their invested means ? In 1866 our in come-tax returns showed 771,000 in comes of $500 per year and over, and 6,000,000 incomes of less than $500. But these were not incomes from capital ; they were mostly earnings or wages. Probably not one in a hundred of these smaller incomes, and not over 10 per cent, of the incomes over $500, represented the interest upon investments. In France, ten years later, the census re turned no less than 2,000,000 people, rentier a, who live entirely upon their invested means. In 1877 7,500,000 of people, one-fifth of the population, were enrolled as rentes-holders or savings- banks depositors ; but it must l>e added that the savings banks do not often fail in Frauce, and that sooner or later they are apt to fail with tis. Most of these pie. FOR A SPRAIN.--The white of an egg, into which a pieqe of alum about the size of a walnut has been stewed until it forms a jelly, is a fine remedy for sprains. It should be laid over the sprain on a piece of lint and changed as often as it becomes dry. CATARRH.--The best way to deal with the disease is not to have it--to keep clean, to eat wholesome food, to live in clean, well-ventilated houses, to dress warmly with flannels next the skin, and, above all, to keep the feet warm and dry. Children sitting with damp shoes on are almost certain to contract catarrh. The evaporation of the moisture pro duces a constant chilliness which is dan gerous even to those in robust health. Children's feet and legs are 'ordinarily not more than half clothed, and it is | little wonder that catarrh is so preva lent among them. 00 j THE EAR.--Dr. Roosa, in a lecture on i the ear, said that no email amount of ! trouble in the ear was caused by too ! 'frequent syringing and boring out' with J" a twisted towel or handkerchief, not to mention hair-pins, bodkins and other metallic instiuments. In his opinion, one should never put anything in the ear smaller than the little linger, al though one writer said put nothing smaller than tho elbow. The avoidance I of many bar troubles was to be assured j by taking care not to duck the head in cold water, or to syringe the deeper part without the order of a physician, or in troduce any body wliich can push the wax lower down in the drum. BURNS.--The liest application for a burn is a liniment made of lime water and oil, beaten together until it looks like butter melted to dress vegetables for the table. It matters not whether common lime or the chloride of lime is used, and either sweet or linseed oil will answer. Wrap the burned part in fine linen covered with this mixture, and cover thickly on the outside with raw cotton to exclude the air. Open it but once in twenty-four hours, and then carefully soak off the rag with lime water and oil, so as not to injure the lender skin that may be forming on the wound. to laugh, boss, but I hope to die ef I could help it."

From measurements made upon one Dr. Hayes estimated it to contain about 27,000,000,000 feet, while its weight must have been not less than 1,000,000,000 tons.

A FIERCE railroad war has been raging between the main lines running southwest from • Oiieago. The tiouble was inaugurated by a cut in passenger rates between that citv and St. Louis, on the part of the Wabash road. The Chicago and Alton at once assumed a belliger ent attitude, and the cutting was kept up until fares between Chicago and St L«uig were reduced to nom ally no'h- ing, tickets being sold as low as 70 cents. Finally the Chicago, Bock Island Mid Pacific, and the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincv roads became involved in the struggle, and limited tickits between Chicago and Kansas City were sold for 50 cents over all four of the competing lines. Thousands of unlimited tickets between Chicago and Kansas City were sold for $6, and between Chicago ai d St Louis for f 5. The effect of the light wi 1 be to permanently reduce rates between married a daughter of Dr. Foster, at one time a noted counterfeiter. For the last three or four years Doyle lias been living on a farm in Col orado. THE great conflict between the Wabash and the other Western railroads from Chicago is ended, which, in the space of one week, forced passenger rates te and from all Western points down to the lowest figures ever experienced in tho history of railroads in this couirry.

The rich American's wealth is extremely volatile ; in nine cases out of ten it is " fopy gold." The old l~nd-owners form the chief exception to the rule; especially in our large cit ies, where the increase of values has been great. Bat if our class of permanently wealthy people is small, so also is our class of destitute people. We are fortu nate in having no such immense and harmful inequality of fortunes as we see in moderii England. Our ill fortune is this, that our class of moderate compe tences is also small, that so few of us, in spite of our opportunities and our la bors, have seized the good of even a small assured competence. The land is full of people who have not, on the other hand, and who are not likely to have, any assured competence, however moderate, but who have nothing to ex pect but latior to the end. This is, in deed, the appointed human lot for the majority in any community ; but need it be, in a country of resources like this, so nearly the universal lot ? Might not many of us avoid it by a greater care for a moderate competence, a lessened am bition for fortunes ?--T. M. Coan, in Harper'» Magazine, Fined for Taking a Man at Hb Word. A lately-landed Hibernian was a pris oner recently in the Fordliam (N. Y.) Police Court to answer a charge of as sault and battery preferred against him by a neighbor. "Why did you strike the complain ant ?" asked Justioe Wheeler. " Bekaso he tould me ter du it," was the reply. "Oh, you merely obeyed orders T* "Yis, Judge." "Tell me all about it" "All there ees about it, Judge, ees we had a little growl, and oi tould him oi'd slap ees face; then ee jumps oop and down and cries three toimes, 'Du it, du it, du it.'" "And you did it?" "Oi did, sur." "Fine, S10." " What, after he tould me ter dn it ?' "Yes; you had no business to strike him, even at his own request. Got §10?" A friend paid the fine, and the pris oner retired, muttering to himself, "A strange countree oi've got into." Spouge ( loth.

The word "morgue" had originally a far different meaning from that which it now bears. In old dictionaries it is de fined as a "surly, haughty look," being derived from the word morf/ner, "to lmlly, to dare." It is aLso used (the verb) to express the idea of inspecting or viewing intently aud closely any person of object. Madame de Sevigne, in a letter to Madame de Grignan, uses it thus, when she writes: " Guitaut writes me from Saint-Ange three leagues from FontaineV»leau. where lie has gone to 1 m,org iter the' Coulrt." The Morgue "was originally the second guichet or wicket at the Graud-Chatelet. When newly arrested prisoners were marched in there, the turnkeys used to halt them in front of this wicket in order that the jailers might morc/ucr them at their ease, that is to say, look them over attentively, and engrave their features in tlie memory. It was there afterwards, that tho corpses picked up on the public street, or drag ged from the Seine, were deposited for The Personal Appearance of Robert burns. J So far as we can form any correct ; judgment, Burns was one of the noblest- looking men of his age. Walter Scott, l at the age of 15, saw the poet, and it j made an enduring impression. He de- j scribes him as follows : " His body was | strong and robust, and his appearance | was rustic, but not clownish. His man- ! ner, though plaiu, was marked by digni- j tied simplicity. His countenance was | more massive than it appears in his por- ' traits. His eyes were large and glowed i (I say literally glowed) when he spoke j on any subject with feeling or deep in- ! terest. I never saw such another eye in any other man, though I have seen the most distinguished characters of the I age." The above-mejitinned interview i is interesting, as the picture of one poet I given by another. It occurred at a so cial rtuiner when Scott was merely a j spectator, but he attracted attention by i replying to a question which no other I person in the room could answer, and his reward was a smile and an approving word from the poet. How little did the I inspired plowman imagine that the lame | boy, who then attracted his attention, would reach such a distinction--still less recognition. Later, in 1804, there was ' that they two would divide the highest constructed upon the Qua du Marche- honors in the literature of their native Neuf, at the northeast angle of the Pont ! Saint-Michel, a square building specially set apart for the exhibition of the un known bodies. The opening of new Ikmlevards lias singularly modified that quarter, and the morgue is to-day re moved to the extremity of the Cite, upon that little island a long time since united to the main laud, and which was in for mer days called ' 'La Motte anx Papc- lards" (The Hillock of the Hypocrites). The exhibition-room consists of two divisions, separated by a glass partition running from the floor to the ceiling, and J from one side of tlie room to tho other, through which partition the visitor sees j lying on the twelve dalle#, or stone forma, | the dead bodies, sometimes partially clothed, again entirely naked save a little strip of linen about the waist. One of j the most pathetic sights we ever wit- j nessed there was the corpse of a little ! child not more than 3 years of age, seated j in a "high-chair" just as she was drawn | from the river, her baby rattle clutched i still in her tiny fingers, her little white cap on her head, and wearing tho ens- i tomary short blouse of tlie children of i the onvriers.

The goat is an every-day sight, and the man who does not study him and learn his ways and habits has only him self to blame. Saturday forenoon a " William " was quietly feeding on Co lumbia street when a load of household goods went past. The owner kept pace with the wagon, carrying%nder his arm a fine mirror about five feet long. As ho came opposite the goat he met a friend, and of course he had to stop and tell why he was changing locations and how much he expected to be benefited. The glass was lieaty, and he naturally dropped one end to the walk to rest his arm. Had this man been a close observer he would have seen the goat and wished he had a brickbat. Had he made goat na ture a study he would have known bet ter than to lower the glass.
