Joe Palmer and William Ber- ner confessed thai they did the murder and robbery. On trial, a few days ago, Berner testified that Palmer did the actual killing, whikp he only looked on and got his share of the money. Much to the surprise and Indig­ nation of the community, the Jury rendered a verdict of manslaughter against Berner, and- assessed his punishment at twenty years in the penitentiary. The verdict was declared privately, by the Judge who tried the case, to be an outrage, and the jury, after leaving the court-room, were hooted at by the crowd, with suggestions that they should be hanged. There was furious indignation among all classes In Cincinnati, one of the Jury was driven from the city and another eovortljr bsatsn. A oall for a mass meeting of oltlftSM, sQmod by prominent business mM« brought out an Immense crowd, who literally psoksd the large! Music Hall until there WM not even standing room. The BK *tla|f< hold Wklay evening, the KMth uit , »aa presided over by Dr. A. Keeipsr, and speeches were made by twe or three leading citizens de- nouneMory ol the prevalenos of crime and the lax administration of juitlcc. After the ndjournment of the meeting a surging, howl­ ing mob started at once for the Jail. The bloody nml exciting soenoe that followed are ohronloh d in the telegraphic reports here­ with appended: The news that a lynching party was assault­ ing the Jail spread like wild-fire, and soon the entire neighborhood swarmed with thousands. The advance guard of the would-be-lynchers arrived with a piece of Joist and rushed down the steps leading to the basement entrance of the jail office. These Were backed up bv the crushing crowd behind. First, a window was smashed and a wild yell went up from the crowd. Another shattered window and a wilder yell. Then the thump, thump of the im­ proved battering-ram, pounding against the office door, began, and every thump awoke a re­ sponsive yell. Bricks and stones were hurled at the jail windows, and the shouting mob grew wilder as success seemed nearer. The door at last gave way and the crowd poured into the jail office. Sheriff Hawkins and the few deputies who were inside were powerless to stem the fierce human tide, besides the Sheriff had given orders that his officers should not use their weapons on the mob. believing that such a proceeding would only make bad worse. Wild with excitement in finding themselves in possession of the jail- office, it was short work to force the door to the cell floor. Boon the stairs and corridors. Indeed the entire interior of the jail, was alive with the mob yelling and hanting for the murderers they came to hang. They soon found their work had been for naught so far as Berner was concerned. Disappointed and disgusted, the ardor of some of them becan to cool. About this time a squad of fifteen policemen, who had been stationed in the tunnel that leads from the jail to the court-house, were brought into the jail oorridors and began to clear the mob from the second floor, or the rotunda. At 9:55 the fire bells struck the ominous 621, the riot alarm, and followed by a regular alarm, as for fire, giving the number of the box located at the court-house corner, just back of the county jail. The alarm started thousands of peo- §le all over the city, and from all directions they ocked by scores, by hundreds, toward the county jail. Police, too, to the number of thirty or forty were hurried to the Bcene in patrol- wagons. Bricks and stones were hurled through the jail windows, and down at the jail door was a gang of men with axes or sledges,heavilv pound- inn on the jail door. The crowd in the mean­ time every few minutes broke out in bloodthirsty cheers, groans, hisses, and maledictions on the murderers and Hamilton County justice. There were no less than 500 men In the crowd for every officer, and the mob showed the most dogged determination and fierceness from the first. Once a light was struck in an up-stairs room of the Sheriff's residence, and men were seen carrying pictures and furniture out of the room. One man attempted to close the inside shntters, but instantly the mob hooted at him and a shower of bricks and stones riddled the glass and broke the shutters to splinters, aud effectually cleared the room. But for self-pro­ tection the gang of men with the axes, at the doors below these windows, called ont to tho mob behind them to cease throwing stones, as they aecemplished nothing except to scatter the broken glatts down en the heads of those at work at the doors. At 11:30 o'clock the sound of axes at the Court street entrance announced that a fresh attack was being made from another direction, and cheer after cheer rent the air. When the wagon started through the crowd of people who were densely packed around it the greatest consternation and excitement was created. Col. Reilly arrived shortly alter the riot alarm was sounded, and after taking in tho situation entered the jail through the Court House and tunnel. At just about midnight the mob on Sycamore street succeeded in battering open the entranoe a second time, and swelled into the jail-office. Here they were stopped by the heavy iron gate shutting off the office from the jail proper. Be­ hind tills were the policemen awaiting the attack, which was not long in being made. The mob had a heavy piece of timber a foot square and eighteen feet long. Fifty men swung this back and forth against the iron gate, and in a very little time they broke it squ&rely in two in the middle. Then followed a hand-to-hand fight between the police under the leadership of Col. Reilly, the Chief of Police, and the mob. The first man to enter through the breach was a negro, who was instantly neized by half a dozen policemen, who hustled him up stairs and locked him up. Other rioters, to the num­ ber in all of twenty-five, were similarly treated, and were all locked up in upper cells. Under strict orders from Chief Reilly, net a shot was fired during all this melee, although several of the fighters, both rioters and officers, were knocked down and more or less injured. All sorts of weapons, knives, and revolvers were captured with the prisoners. It was impossible to ascertain any of the names of the rioters at the time of the arrest. The officers did not stop for that, but carried them oft to the uppermost cells as rapidly as possible. The mob was too much for the officers, how­ ever, and while a few hundi^d were left down stairs to fight the j olioemen, hundreds of others carried the heavy battering-ram up-stairs to where the murderers' cells were. The mob con­ tinued determined. At exactly 12 o'clock a heavy beam borne by strong men was applied to the south Sycamore entrance, and after three or four vigorous blows the door gave way and the crowd poured in. Almost Immediately afterward th»y made their way into the corridor. "Where is Berner'scell?" was the cry. Some ono answered: "No. 13," and that number was Hoon found and a vigorous battery began. At this time the military began firing from above, and the mob were at onoe arrested in their mad career, and forced to re­ treat, though very sullenly. It is charged that the militia shot reaklt ss?.. and some of their number were wounded. Corporal Cook, of Company I, was shot in th* chest, and another Srivate was shot through the ear, and another 1 the mouth. Officer Adam Mechley was strnrk on the head with a brick and knockcd senseless. He was taken off in a patrol wagon. Officer Von Segeern was shot in the hes I near the ear, bnt not fatally. The shot camo from some ono on the inside. The crowd had foroed its way into the jail yard and soon learned the way to the underground passage. Some of these started Into the tunnel while the few police at that time at hand attempted to stay them. Another man, a citizen, was Hhot in the arm above th« elJ>ow. All the windows of the basement and lirst and second storieH of the jail residence are broken in, the sash torn ont, the doors broken down, iron gratings torn out or bent into all sorts of strange shapea from the fi.roe of bowlde s and heavy beams applied to them, and there is general destruction. The stair-ways, some of ihem, are considerably demolished, even though of Iron, and inside doors are battered and broken. At 12 o'clock the people were In full possession of tho lower reception-room of the jail for the second time. A brawny fellow, a blacksmith, they H»id--was at work with a sledge-hammer upon the iron barred gate leading to the cell room. It gave eradually but surely before wt»st seemed herculean strength. AH bar by liar wna shattered, cheers arose from the crowd back in wife in j»uii up by the crowds oub-iae. Slov. ly bnt surely the Iran gate gave way, and finally went down far enough to admit of two gr three men entering abreast. Just tjefore this Sheriff Hawkins, perhaps because he found the resistance of the poltcc almost passive, wnt for the party of about forty citizen soldiers, who were under arms in their arm­ ory hard by. These men were matched over and were taken into the jail through the tunnel from Main wtreet. Just as the party working at the iratea w ere atx>ut to take possession of the cell-room the order was given to fire, or at least firing commenced. Trie "result was, beside the distressing casualties, to give the iiolice, for the moment at least, moral control. They took ad­ vantage of this and cleared tho Jail through the Bycamon strset spteaaosa, whfls were tafcsn ont by ths Msm attest way. A portion 0* ths mob teofes into the armo­ ry of the Slats Guard aad eaptaied all the --na aul MwwnififtlnBI ths traOOft. sari 5hm armed, returned and oonfronted the militia Th7mltttary again llied on the mob, killing four and wounding fifteen. The mob returned the fire but did no damage. ThS heavy firing drove the mob % the cfowd away, bnt worked with wio wvwv awafi wuv was iuvm wwj fiercer determination than ever. Tho Jail thel fired by rolling ooel-oil barrels into ment and firing them. At ths same time a can­ non was brought up by a crowd of about fifty men, the leader ofwnom said they were thirst­ ing for revenge. The cannon was fired a num­ ber of times, bnt produced no effect. The po­ lice by this time (4 a. m.) had gained full control of the Jail, and the greater part of the mob had dispersed. A summing of the casualties of this night of horror showed eight persons either dead or dying, and seventeen wounded, some of them dangerously. It now appears that Berner, after his sen­ tence, was disguised and placed in a buggy with Deputy Sheriff Dominic k Devoto and driven to Llnwood, where they got aboard the Morrow accommodation, and went to Loveland to await the arrival of Criminal Deputy Joe Moses tolth the necessary papers for his 00m- mlttal to the penitentiary. It became known that Berner was at Loveland and a crowd gath­ ered. When the train with Moees aboard came in, and Devoto and Berner went to board it, the crowd made a rush for Berner. He ran through the car and escaped, and is still at large. Quiet reigned throughout the early part of the day, but, in anticipation of a renewal of trouble. Gov. Hoadly ordered three regiments of State troops and two batteries to the city. The apprehensions of the Governor and of the city authorities were fully realized. Early in the day anonymous circulars were distributed through the city,call­ ing for the organization of a vigilance commit­ tee of 300 in each ward. A Gatling gun was taken to the jail, and the streets were barricaded by polioe and soldiers for 100 yards. A militia regiment was plaoed inside the Jail, and seven­ ty-five policemen were stationed outside. About 8 o'clock stones were thrown through the Jail windows, and pound dynamite cartridges were displayed by rioters. At 10 o'clock tho treas­ urer's office in the court house was set on fire. The troopd fired on the mob from the windows, with deadly effect. Captain Dssmond, of tho militia, endeavored to suppress the flames and was shot dead by the rioters. Tho fire-engines were not allowed to work. The yells ef the mob could be heard for six blocks, and they appeared to be thoroughly organized. The Dayton militia arrived at the depot, but found tt Impossible to reach the battle-ground. The flames consumed the court honse, with the county records and one of the most valuable law libraries in the United States. The Hth regiment marched to the jail at midnight, but the 4th regiment turned back to the depot after hearing of the atrocities bei: Armory of Battery B, took three cannon, and dragged them several miles, creating intense consternation. A police squad fired on them, and recovered the pieces, but not before the rfiob had broken several stores open to search for ammunition. The artillery was turned over to the Sheriff. Firing between the mob and the militia stationed about the jail was kept up at Intervals through the night. Twenty-eight persons were killed, and sixty or more severely wounded. The police were entire masters of the situation Bhortly after midnight, and the Sabbath broke on a quiet but Very feverish city. Smoldering ruins, pools of blood, and pickets of militia marked the section about the Court House and jail. The monetary loss was fully $1,000,000. All the criminal indictments were destroyed, and now there is nothing to show against the prisoners in the jail. The county records are safe. Five dead bodies lay on Syca­ more street. The wounded had sought shelter with blood. The troops were lying on their arms, taking such rest as they conld get when hot called for special duty. 1 he polioe, worn out, were also lounging about in such manner as was most oomfortable. The prisoners in the jail were locked in their cells, trembling with fear. Not one slept through the night. One of the faddest episodes of Saturday night was the killing of Capt. John Desmond. He had been apprised of the purpose to burn the court house, and was sent with a squad of militia to try to put out the fire. The mob fired on him and the ball crashed through his head. At the same time Private McGuire was shot through the breast and fatally hurt. Capt. Desmond was a young lawyer of much promise, a fine-looking soldier, the pride of his regiment, and one whose loss Is on every account deeply deplored. The lire engines were powerless; first, because the firemen refused to go out with­ out an escort of troops, and second, because the crowd could easily have cut the hose and pre­ vented the use or the engines. 80 the fire had its way. Mayor Stephens on Sunday morning ordered all saloons closed for twenty-four hours, and it was fairly compiled with. He then asked Gov­ ernor Hoadly to send on all the available mili­ tia, and special trains were soon set In motion, the Sixth Regiment, from ChilUcothe, being the first to arrive. All persons were warned to keep off the streets after dark. At 8:30 last even­ ing the rattle of the Gatling gun showed that the conflict with the mob had recommenced. Biiggs Swift, a prominent packer, while con­ versing with a friend on Seventh street, was se­ riously wounded by a volley fired by the militia. The rioters broke Into Music Hall, whence they were ejected by two companies of the 6th regi­ ment. After this the mob dispersed, and quiet was restored. The casualties of Sunday night's fighting include eight men killed and fifteen wounded. The total killed for three days was seventy-five; wounded, 150. It appears that Berner, one of the murderers of Kirk, who escaped at Loveland, ran several miles up the track, spent some hours in an empty freight car, and then took to the woods. He was foui.d by two bailiffs, who were driving along in search of him. He gave way to tears like a child. The officers drove to Foster's Crossing, remaining until dark, when they pro­ ceeded to Oolumbns, nnd placed the prisoner in the penitentiary, notwithstanding determined attempts to lynch him T. C. Campbell, ths Cincinnati lawyer, who was Bcrner's chief oounsel, has been warned awav from the citv.

Five Bad Desperadoes Dangled from Ropes hgr the Sheriff at Tombstone, Arizona. [Tombstone (Arizona) Dispatch.] O. W. Sample, Dan Dowd, William Delane, Dan Kelly, and James Howard were hanged here for the Bisbee murderers. The five ban­ dits marched up the steps of the scaffold with­ out flinching: All declared their innocence, and said Heath, who was lynched here Feb. 22, was also innocent. They bade good-by to their friends, expressed faith in the Christian religion, and requested their bodies to be> delivered to Father Gallagher. Nothing occurred to mar tho Sheriff's plans, and the murderers were all dropped off together, and, excepting lJOWd, died without a struggle. Over a thou­ sand persons witnessed the execution. A large balcony bad been erected outside, over­ looking the jail yard, the builder intending to charge $1.50 admission, but the mob be­ came indignant and tore It down. In the row which followed seven persons were in­ jured. One man had a leg broken and an­ other his arrti. The balcony would have seated 600. With this exception everything passed off quiotly. . The criminals did not show the slightest fear at tho near approach of death. After being shaved and dressed in the new black suits, one of them remarked: "Well, boys, if wo have not lived like gentlemen, we'll die like them." On the scaffold the bandits rec­ ognized some familiar laces in the crowd and called out their names, cheerfully bidding them good-by. Dec. 18, 1-83, the five men hanged, headed by John Heath, rode into the little town of lilsbee, howling like Indians, Nourishing their revolvers, and shooting at the ail righted cit­ izens like dogs. They took complete posses­ sion of the town and murdered three men and one woman in cold blood. They then pillaged the stores of everything they could carry away aud wound up their reign of terror by netting fire to the houses and galloping away. Armed po*ses started in pursuit of the gang. The entira party of six were captured, tried, and con­ victed. Heath reieived a life sentence, but within a few hours was taken from jail by a mob and hanged to a telegraph pole. The guilt of all. the oondemned was clearly proven Mi Irla!. Jtxfl so other verdict would have satisfied the citizens of Cochise County. ODD FACTS AND FANCIES.

A HaniUa Storm Onaaps Throagh fna Horthern Portions of Alabama and Georgia, The •f OakTffle, lad., OUtteo aad Several Peopl# Killed. Host people living in the Northwest will recall the fact that Monday, the 3d ef April, was one of the darkest days of the year. Dense clouds ob­ scured the sun to such an extent as to render artificial light necessary In nearly all houses. The remark was a common one that it was a good day for cyclones, and so it proved. Many sections of the country, were visited by fierce storms that swept away houses and killed many people." The worst of these elemental outbreakrf appears to have directed its fury against t.h« little town of Oakville, Delaware County, lnd A correspondent thus describes the rain wrought by the windy monster: Its path was about half a mile wide and distance ten miles, presenting a scene of ruin and wreck seldom seen. The cloud came from the northwest, and was of funnel shape and of a greenish color. The center of its destructive track is Oakville, a small village on the Fort Wayne Cincin­ nati .V Louisville Road. It ie, or wan, a place of 125 inhabitants and of forty or fifty buildings, net more than five of which are now standing. Indeed, the entire town, but yesterday busy and prosperous, is to-day a maps of confused debris. Houses and all buildings are de­ stroyed beyond repair. The place Is absolutely wiped from the face of " the earth. Five persons were killed outright, namely: Mrs. Anna Dearmond, a widow, aged ! Coiwell C. Johnson: a small child belonging to the above; C. Brown's infant about a year old; Susie Rimes, aged 16, daughter ? widowed mother. Two others received fatal Injuries, Turner Johnson and Jefferson Hoover. The following were wounded: Nancy Myers, 60 years of age, arm broken and badly bruised; John Hoffman, badly bruised; Mrs. Hoffman, wife of the above, severe wounds; ®rown, seriously hurt about the head; Jeff Miller, hip dislocated; Mrs. Miller, wife of d""J~' ' ~ -- " J. Holtzlnger, bruised and cut; Lemmie Myers, 13, arm broken. Brown's little child was found dead about twenty-five yards from the house, while that of C. C. Johnson was whirled through the air a dis­ tance of 150 yards, and dropped in a wheat- field, where the body was found two hours after the storm had passed. Miss Himes was also found some distance from her demolished home with almost every particle of clothing stripped from her body by the force of the wind. Mrs. Dearmond was found dead under her fallen honse. About a dozen others were injured slightly, but those mentioned sustained most serious wounds and bruises. Among the houses smashed was that of Johnny Sullivan, in which were himself, wife, and six children, the young­ est a babe 2 weeks old. Most miraculously none of the family were injured In the least. The babe was found in a bed covered with debris, but unscratched. • • The two clouds met at the house of Louis Cochran, two miles south of Oakville, and en­ tirely demolished it in a second's time, and car­ ried the heaviest timbers over a quarter of a mile from the foundation, while some of the planks of the house were found at a distance of two miles and a half. Two bovs riding in a wagon were caught in the wind, the wagon turned over, and the horses ran away. A flying piece of timber struck one of the boys, inflicting a severe scalp-wound, rendering him uncon­ scious. The other boy was also seriously in­ jured by the wagon turning over on him. At Ijuray, a small town two miles east of Oak­ ville, Will Lines, with his family, was seated in the house when the storm struck and complete­ ly wrecked it, killing Lines, bnt the seven other members of the family escaped without harm. Four miles west James Sanders, a merchant from Mlddletown, wealthy and highly respected, had gone to his farm to Instruct his tenant, and while in the house of the latter it was torn to pieces and Sanders killed Instantly. In the same vicinity W. F. Painter, while at work on a farm, was caught by the cyclone and lifted high in the air and thrown to the ground and killed. Farms look like a wilderness. Houses were blown down and the inmates either crippled or killed. The farms were well improved, and their fine barns are perfect wrecks. The loss Is thus very great. One hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars will not replace the damage done on farms alone. Take it all in ail, thlB was one of the most dreadful storms ever known in Eastern Indiana. , About toe same hour that Oakville, Indv, and the surrounding: country was being devastated, a destructive tornado, accompanied by rain and hail, waa sweeping with great force over the re­ gion adjacent to Greenville, Ohio. Many houses were blown down, one or two people killed, a number maimed, and a great deal of valuuble farm property damaged. The villaizeof Jaysville, near Grenvllle, suffered severely, every house in the town being more or less injured, and several persons receiving serious wounds. At Troy and Casn town the destruction was also great, houses in both towns going down befqre the blast. Whole orchards were destroyed, and in some instances stately trees were carried away a dis­ tance of several hundred yards. The loss sus­ tained is very great. At Dublin, a large number of houses and barns were blown down. The Christian church of that place was demolished. At Plain City, a number of large buildings were wrccked and scattered promiscuously. A carriage factory was demolished and the cemetery laid waste. tA cyclone swept through the Monongahela Valley, at Pittsburg, leveling fences, wrenching signs from their fastenings, and demolishing several houses. Five persons received fatal injuries, and many others were more or less seriously wounded, by falling buildings. About the time these tornadoes were doing their awfnl work in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsyl­ vania, a series of cyclones were tearing through the Sunny South, leaving death and desolation In their track. A dispatch from Chattanooga, Tenn., reports: Much of the country is miles from a railroad, and only meager details can be learned, but enough is known to characterize it as the most destructive storm that has prevailed in this country In years. The storm commenced in the neighborhood of Collinsvllle, Ala., and passed in a northeasterly direction. Sweeping up Wills Valley and then crossing Lookout Mountain, it passed off into North Georgia, and near Tllton left the earth. The width was less than 300 yards, but its force was terrifl.-. Tne wind seemed to be formed in numberless whirl­ winds, each whirling within itself, with a roar like thunder, and it moved over the earth with lightning-like rapidity. Trees were uprooted and whirled hundreds of feet, and the path followed by the storm was cleared as wheat be­ fore the scythe. The swath was precise and well defined, and the strip it made is a scene of ruin and desolation. Many people are known to have been killed. The, house of the Eton. Clayton Tatum, of Dade County, Ga, brother of the State Senator, was demolished. He received fatal injuries. His child was instantly killed, and his wife has both legs broken. The house of John Crowley, in the same vicinity, was also demolished and the entire family killed. A lady and her (laugh- tec at Collinaville, Ala., were killed, it IS re­ ported that the cyclone swept along the crest of Sand Mountain, Georgia, before it reached the valley, and every honse in its path was whirled like corks upon the sea, and many lives are re­ ported lost. The storm crossed the Alabama Great Southern Railway near Sulphur Springs. Immense trees were torn np by their roots and thrown across the tracks. Another arm of the storm passed to the north­ west and did great damage in Madison County, Alal>ama, in the vicinity of Hnntsviile. The house of William White was swept away and his wife and his mother- in-law, Mrs. Conner, were Instantly kl led. When it struck the residence of James Glover he was sitting indoors with a little child on each knee. The house was blown over and sevferal timbers struck him in the back, causing instant death, but both children escaped unhurt. In anoiher family a little child was caught tin by the furious wind and carried sev­ eral hundred yards. Storms prevailed the same night at several other points in North Georgia and in Ea^t Ten- n.'Msoe. Hot^es were unrooted, fencing blown down, and general destruction marked it* path. The total amount of damage or the entire loss of li:e will never be ascertained, but hundreds of thousands were destroyed and soores met their death, it was the lour h destructive cyclone attended with fital consequences that has pre­ vailed in that 8 n tion this vear.

Thbrb are intimations of a out In nrlM among watering-place hotels, *HE FAMILY DOCTOR. H SAKITABT SCTEXCE.--It is believed br . Dr. Robertson, professor of the dis- ease* of horses in the Royal Veterinary College of Loudon, that scarlet fever iag} •«», generated spontaneously among horses^, i But Dr. John C. Peters, of New York#.' while not willing to accept this as fact, states very positively lm decided^?; belief that horses have scarlet fever,, and that they give it to men and receive it from them. He quotes Dr. Robert­ son's statement that he had observed? when a severe visit of scarlet fever and. measles occurred among human'beinga in any locality, that cases of the same* trouble would show themselves among- the horses of the vicinity, and that more* than the average number of horses suf­ fering from catarrhal affections would exhibit symptoms of scarlatina. In . ' view of these facts, Dr. Peters recom­ mends that horses and stables be put under good sanitary control as well as poor people aud tenement houses. This suggestion opens np a new field for sanitary work. It gives the sanitary enthusiasts a wider scope than their * fondest dreams could have pictured. i Dispensaries for poor horses as well as " those for poor men and women will be­ come a feature of our civilization. Anct if for horses, for cats and dogs too. A. kitten with scarlet fever or a puppv with diphtheria may be as dangerous tO' a neighborhood as a human baby with a contagious disease. If the hopes of the men of science of discovering vac­ cination for other plagues than small­ pox are realized, the vaccination of « the pigs, kittens, puppies, ponies, even, the chickens of every well-regula'eil household, will be as much a part of its. discipline as the vaccination of its ba­ bies. No doubt in the course of time- we shall have hospitals for the animals, with contagious diseases. Perhaps in an. '• advanced age the time may come when the reactionary element among the dogs, and the horses may organize anti-vac- oination societies, unless Bergh inter­ feres to protest against the wholesale innoculation of his dumb proteges with, the virus of scarlet fever, diphtheria, yellow fever, cholera, smallpox, hydro­ phobia, glanders, typhoid, consumption --everything, in short, that has germs that can be cultivated.--Hearth anil Home. SOAPS AS A VEHICLE FOR MEDICINE --Pure soap alone is a valuable and convenient remedy for many affection* of the skin, causing a softening and soothing influence pleasant to the feel­ ings and the sight, besides exerting a, healing effect in most cutaneous dis­ eases ; and from this softening property it cause? any medicinal substance it properly contains to act more certainly* and with greater promptness, than per­ haps any other vehicle that is at pres­ ent known. In adding a medicinal substance to soap, some intelligence- should be had to properly understand the character and compatibility of the several constituents of each, for there are many drugs that are not suitable to mix with soap, that will not combine or are decomposed and changed by the alkali present in all soaps, and which is always present in slight excess, else it would not do proper duty as a soap; for though soaps are not truly soluble in water, yet their Action in use causes an emulsion that has this softening action and pleasant effect, though it be washed away with water, leaving scarce a trace of soap. Itehind. In making a medicated soap the first care should be- | > have the purest and cleanest fats or oils that can be obtained and also the . best and purest alkali known, while" great skill must be exercised in the making to insure a perfect combina­ tion, in fact, a thorough soap; and there- are few ready made that can be recom­ mended, as sophistication is now a com-, mon practice in the making of most all the soaps of commerce. Having such a soap the best means of combining the remedy is by means of the mill, for it can be added without heat, while tlie perfume if used can be combined at the same time. All colors as a rule should be avoided, unless the drug will give an unpleasant one; then to please the eye a color can be used, but care must be taken to have an inert or harmless color, compatible with the medicine. The best and more suitable soaps for medicinal purposes are undoubtedly those made from vegetable oils, such as. olive, palm and almond oils, though mutton tallow would make a very suita­ ble soap combined with any of the oils named.--Oil, Paint and Drug Re­ porter. A Problem in Mathematics. "I am stumped," said little Willie Bulltriger the other day, as he mourn­ fully laid his slate and arithmetic on his teacher's lap^and he rubbed his throbbing brow with the knuckle joints of all his fingers. "What's the matter, Willie?" said the mispress in her kindest tones. "Which one is it!" "Oh!--it's that'n about the eggs and the old hen and bad boy." "Oh! I see. 'If a hen lays two eggs a. day for seven days, and a bad boy breaks one each alternate day for two weeks, how many eggs will be left in the next!' Why, that is not difficult to understand, Willie. That i.s easy!" "Yos. Pprt of it's easy enough ; but. I can't getr the rest of it through my head. The boy can break the eggs easy enough; but I can't understand the rest." "Now, Willie if the hen lays two eggs- each day for seven davs, how many will there l>e in the nest, if nobodv bothers them?" "Why, fourteen, of course." "Yes. Well, now, how many days, are there in one week ?" ""Seven." "That's easy. Now, if there are seven days in one week, how many are there­ in two weeks?" "Fourteen." "There. You are getting on nicely. Now if a bad boy breaks an egg on eachi alternate day, he will break just half as many etnp*. at there are days, in tw» weeks, will he not?" "Ves'um." "Therefore, he will break how many / oggs?" I "^even." "That is right. Now, if there fourteen eggs in tho nest, and seven broken, how many will remain ?" "Why, Feven." t "That is right. Willie. You see it is a vtry easy problem." "Naw 'taint. That aint where I ^was stunijjed- I got it that way befor«. I understand that part; but the part about the hen's what bothers me." "About the hen?" "Yes. Ma says no hen in American can lay two eggs a day."--Tlrough Mail.
