Her fiatr was at half mast, which indicated a death on board. "Who was dead?" It was the purser. He had been murdered in his stateroom ic midocean, the safe key taken from his pocket, and tbe safe robbed of $40,000. The key had been returned to his pocket *'Who was guilty of the crime?" That question jet remained unsolved. All that, was known was that on the morning ol the 16th of June title purser not appearing as; usual the cabin boy had | knocked " loudly on his door, and as there was no response it had bee a forced. The purser was found In his berth. His head seemed to have rolled from the pillow and lay well down on his left shoulder. His eyes were staring wildly and his feat- tires set as though in horror. They were the eyes and features of a dead man. His neck was broken. The • oaijr uiaiks on uis bod" wsro throe or four livid streaks on each side of the temple extending well down on the cheeky and near the back of the head the hair had been literally scraped from the scalp in three or four narrow streaks. Even the skin bad been torn up with it, as though by the sharp claws of an animal or the sharp rake of an iron instrument Blood was ou the head, pillow, and sheets. The key to the stateroom was found on the floor. The mur­ derer had evidently taken the safe key, robbed the safe, returned the key, then locked the stateroom door on the outside and dropped the key through the transnm. The purser was a general favorite and indigna­ tion, horror, and a spirit to revenge bis death ?oon prevailed. A rigid ex­ amination of passengers and crew was commenced at once. Let us take a view of the deck of the steamer the morning of June 16. It is 10 o'clock and the murder ot the purser has been discovered. The* captain and four stalwart seamen are going the rounds. They near the after neck. Suddenly their ears are greeted with the melodious tones of a hand-organ, and as the music swells on the air abright-lookintrfgirl of per­ haps 16 is passing the hat of the or­ gan-grinder, collecting quarters, dimes, and nickels. 1 say bright- looking. / Yes, she seems so, though she has a frightened and sad look. Her jet- black hair and eyes bespeak her an Italian. The organ-grinder, as he stands there bare-headed, is appar­ ently a man of 40 years. He, too, has the swarthy complexion of Italy. A heavy head of bushy black hair, and eyes and features that tell of a determined character--except when speaking to his patrons. Then he is all meekness and humility. He is broad-shouldered and strong. A •trance vocation for that stalwart form. None but an Italian witb that constitution would follow it. "Comte, dago," said tne captain, to more music this trip.

The old than reluctantly walked in and Vlncenzo turned the key. He soon came back and Rita, who had built a fire in the kitchen, took from the basket a supply of groceries, including bread enough to last an ordinary family, a week,cocoa, nuts, fruit, and several bottles of wine. Vincenzo unlocked the cell door. "Wella, Gobo, you homo now, ola hoy. I give you glass wine. No give whisky now. You kllla people wheu you geta whisky. Good a Gobo." Vincenzo turned a tin cup full of wine and handed it to him, after which he brought in his organ, drew out a secret slide in the bottom, and laid two bundles on the table. He unrolled each and counted out ®40,- 000. "Much$ Mon. Poor dago. Gooda man. Me no hurta fly. Me no can twist a bead, breaka neck. Ole fader, ha, ha! That gooda joke. Gobo, he bada man, he kllla. Me get $60,000 more, me go back Italy. Buy biga place, be count. No take ola Gobo. Fader, ha, ha!" The next day Gobo was locked up in his cell while Vincenzo was plying; his vocation on the street and Kita | was passing his hat gathering up the coin of the realm. It was a part of Rita's duty when she entered a dwelling to note what she saw in­ side and faithfully report the same to the organ-grinder. It will be remembered that from the last of June until the middle of October, 1863, a number of houseSf-of wealthy citizens of New York were entered at night and burglarized of large sums of money. In several cases the master or owner of the house was found dead in bed with neck broken, head twisted to one side, and {parks on the temple, face, and back of the head corresponding with those found on the person of the purser. In the case of Thomas J. Burton, both he and his wife were killed in the same manner, and a large amount taken. In one case the wife said she knew that she had been chloroformed (in fact the pres­ ence of chloroform could be detected in nearly all the cases, but this woman said that before becoming entirely unconscious she had become partly aroused), and that though she could neither speak nor move, she saw to her horror a terrible figure bending over her husbaud. His head grasped in its monstrous hands. A form not human. She also discerned in the dimly lighted room another form by the bedside and heard an ut­ terance like this: '"Gorou-- Gorou." Then she became unconscious and when she revived her husband was a corpse and the house had been robbed. So!" And he _ loth hands.

Of course the papers were full of the murder, but only Rita knew who the murderer was. Yet she would not betray him. She would be re­ venged and Gobo should revenge her. Vincenzo went out about 10 o'clock and she was alone all day. Gobo was locked in his celL She shoved back a slide in the door and offered him food and fruit. He refused to eat His eyes were bloodshot She turned a tin cup full of wine and passed it in. He drank it at a gulp. "To-night Gobo, you shall have whisky, and I will point to the man." From a demijohn of whisky she filled two flasks and hid them away. When Vlnceazo came homo at night she could see that he had been drinking heavily. "Rita, I go back to Italy. You go live Antone Martinette, he play organ, want girl," and he went up­ stairs to hi*room, and was soon sound asleep. Long Rita sat there. When the clock struck 12 she took off her shoes and tiptoed her way up to his room. The door was closed, but carefully she turned the knob, opened it and entered. She took Vincenzo's pants from the chair on which it lay, and hastily retraced her steps down-stairs. From the pocket she secured the key and inserted it in the lock to the door of Gobo's cell. Should she open the door? Dare she? It was to avenge the murder of her father. Had he not said so? She unlocked and opened the door. ^ ^ v "Gorou--Goroul" 4 "Here, Gobo. Good Gobo wish, come out, Gobo." He obeyed, and she banded him a flask of whisky. His emptied it with­ out loss of time. "Goroi}--Gorou!" "Hush, " and taking hold of his clamy hand she passed up the stairs. Arrived at the door of Vincenzo's room, she pointed at the sleeper. She looked at Gobo. His eyes were aflame and his muscles twitching. Still be made no move toward the bed. She walked to the bedside, Gobo followed her. She pointed again at Vincenzo Gobo's eyes seemed starting from their sockets, and his huge breast heaved but he made no movement Suddenly Vincenzo awak­ ened. Perhaps their very presence awoke him for there had been no noise. His eyes opened. He saw Rita; more, he saw 3obo. The shock was so sudden that he started up in alarm. Had he have lain still he might have escaped. That move­ ment was Gobo's signal for attack. "Gorou--Gorou!" and he was upon him. ••Gobo! Gobo!" fell from the lips of Vincenzo. He as well have spoken to a raging tempest Those immense hands have got that fatal hold. . One final twist •Gorou--Gorou!" And the limp We have neither time nor space bead rolls from the pillow. Rita was to follow the terrible course of events which followed the arrival of Vin­ cenzo in New York. We will merely follow him in his last exploit On the night of October 12, at midnight, he left his house, accompanied by Gobo, dressed as when we first saw him. Arriving at the house selected, that of the Hon. Geortre Barrow, whom many will remember, as well as the circumstances of his death, Vincenzo, with his burglar's imple­ ments, was soon inside the basement door. He quickly took off his shoes, removed Gobo's long slippers and the linen duster, lest it should be torn into shreds and it would be needed going home. Bark-lantern in hand he softly and silently ascended the stairs, Gobo at his heels. Not a sound was heard. Not a footfall. Careful as was Vincenzo, so was Gobo. They are at the head of the stairs. Stopt bear that snoring, but a few feet away! Vincenzo has a sponge and a vial of chloroform ia one hand. He steals to the chamber door. The gas in the room is turned low.

Then setting the demijohn on the table with cork out she turned the tincup full, and while Gobo was fast reducing the quantity put on her shoes and shawl and left the house. About 8 O'clock in the morning a number of citizens passing the house were startled by the most unearthly yells. They summoned several offi­ cers and proceeded to investigate. The front gate was unlocked and so was the front door. They opened it and passed through the hall into the dining-room,' from which the noise proceeded. Up in one corner of the dimly-lighted room, as close as he could get, was Gobo. He was sitting down, leaning against the wall, the I empty demijohn in front of him. One I immense arm was hanging limp be- J side him, the hand of the other grasped the handle of the demijohn. •'Qorou-Gorou!*1 As thev entered the 4QOF CJpbo looked toward them. His fejoctyy was gone.

The|demijohn was broken. Gobo moved no mora After a time they turned him over. He was dead. Vincenzo was found above The peculiar marks on his head and face, similar to those found on the person ot the parser and the more recent victims, indicated that he had been murdered in a similar manner. No money was found in the house, save a few dollars in the dead man's pockets. The old organ proclaimed him an or- (gan-grinder. His effects were sold,1 twist \ and he was buried with the proceeds.

Farmers, as well as business men, should keep books to show them how they stand, says a correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph. May 1st is a good time to commence.

The fact is one of any kind for money place it in your total cash sales and also to the credit of each of the different kinds of stock; at the end of the year if your stock inventory agrees separately and to­ gether, as it did the year previous, you have made just what you received in money. If your stock is worth more place in total cash sale, if less deduct tbe amount from your total and you have wh*t you really have made on all stock during the year.

A common blank book, obtained at book stores at a cost of from 15 to 25 cents, is large enough for everything told here. When your year is up lay your book aside and get another one. One can get so accustomed to this that they can keep these books with­ out. any trouole whatever. It en­ ables them to see whether they are gaining or losing money on any crop or stock, and what the net results of each year has been. In short, farm­ ing becomes more of a business, and less of guess work, than formerly was done. In conclusion will say that the aggregate net sales will be more than most farmers suppose and their expenses greater. t Fodder Cwaiiî .'yt- ̂ Fodder corn, sown in drills three feet apart, or planted in hills, three feet apart one way and twq ffcet the other way. should be a regular crop with every dairyman. If a dry season come?, when the pastures do not furnish feed enough, it can be cut and fed green, though right here we will say that it is much better to al­ low a day or a day and night of wilt­ ing before it is given to the cows, particularly if not quite grown when, fed out In cloudy or rainy weather it is better even when cut longer than that- The wilting not only takes out some of the water and renders it le*s liable to cause ipdigestion, but it brings about a chemical change in it that makes |t more valuable for milk production. Probably the same in­ crease in the solid matter of the milk would make it* worth more for cheese making. Any tbat is not used green can be saved tor the silo or cured by drying for the winter feeding, and it is good either way, and good for milch cows, working oxen or growing young stock. It may be that some of the lately introduced foreign ciops are better than our corn fodder, but we shall continue to he very skeptical about them until experience has shown their results. We know that we can grow more fodder to the acre from corn than from any crop we have tried, and it will induce a larger flow of milk, and of milk that will be richer to eat and will make more butter than We ever could get from any other fodder, although good clover comes very near to it if cut lust at the right time; but cut too early or too late the clover Is not very good, while the corn fodder, whether sown expressly for that purpose, or stover from field corn Or from the garden sweet corn, is good from the time it tassels out until the ears, are formed and the kernel glazed.

Destroying Canada Thistles. have always had best success In killing the Canada thistles by wait­ ing until the plant had got into blos­ som, and then when tbe top is full of ! sap plowing deeply, so as to get under all the roots possible. The green tops will decompose rapidly at this time, for it is during the hottest weather of the year. But it is too late for any crop excepting buck­ wheat or white turnips, and, in fact this way of destroying thistles was usually made the occasion for a thor­ ough summer fallow in preparation for winter wheat By working after the first plowing wholly on the sur­ face, and frequent use of the roller, a reasonably compact seed bed might be had. But to destroy thistles thus requires thorough cultivation of the surface at least twice a week, the ob­ ject befag to privent a sihgle green shoot of green thistles to appear. The part of tbe root attached to the top will usually rot with it, but how­ ever deep the plowing, more or less of the horizontal roots will He beneath tbe plow point and these will con­ tinue to send up shoots until nearly September. It is impossible to kill thistles by plowing on stumpy or stony ground, as In such places the plow will be thrown out and the thistle roots cannot be turned up. In such case covering the tops with earth as fast as they appear, bruising the tops at the same time to prevent growth through the soil, will do the work. Where hoed crops are grown this covering of thistle tops with earth is more effective than is cutting them off with cultivator or hoe. --Exchange, i was in a granular state, it. must be laboriously crushed out with a ladle.

This Democratic pretense is so obviously a humbug that it ought not to impose on any reader of ordinary intelligence.

His supporters were In a minority of over a million in the popu­ lar vote last November. In the second place, Mr. Cleveland was not the choice of the substantial, intelligent citi­ zens of the nation.

But the peo­ ple are not to be deceived. They know that this Government has been purchas­ ing silver since 1879, and that the nation has made progress during that time in giant strides. They know that the country went on prospering under the Sherman law so long as the Repub­ lican party was in power; they know that the year before the election of Cleveland, with the Shermdn law in full operation, was the most prosperous in the the nation's annals. The Democratic party has declared that it will revolutionize every indus­ trial condition. It has demanded the restoration of the irredeemable State bank currency of ante-bellum days. It has pledged Itself to repeal the tariff that maintains American industrial in­ dependence and American standards of living in the homes of labor. It has denounced the captains of American industry as robbers and oppressors; it has proclaimed them the enemies of so­ ciety, and urged the necessity of mak­ ing their investments valueless and of depriving them of the power to give employment to American workingmen. .In the fore front of this crusade of anarchy and falsehood Gro- ver Cleveland has been found. He has shown himself the eager .enemy of his country's industries and progress. He has played the part of a demagogue without conscience or patriotism, in order to win the applause of the ignorant and reactionary ele­ ments of his party. With such a man in the Presidential chair and such a party as the Democracy dominant in both branches of Congress, stoppage of enterprise, dearth of credit and wide­ spread disaster to the interests of the nation are inevitable. Search the Sherman law for the causes of the na­ tion's loss of more than & billion dol­ lars since November. The factors Which have changed confidence into dis­ trust and prosperity into panic are not found in the statute books. They are found in the demands of the Chicago platform, and the record of the Demo­ cratic party. _____ Worse than Free Silver. The belief is general in welMnfontied circles in Washington that the Presi­ dent proposes to offer the repeal of the prohibitory tax on State bank issues as a bribe to induce Democratic Congress­ men who demand "cheap" money to vote for the repeal of the Sherman law. The New York Press says it some time ago pointed out that it was hopeless to expect the Southern and Western Democrats to vote to repeal the silver purchase act unless the ad­ ministration was prepared to sanction either free coinage or wildcat currency. Of the two, State bank notes are far the more dangerous. A silver dollar, however depreciated, must always have some intrinsic value. The bullion in it may be worth sixty cents or it mav be worth forty, but it is always worth something, ana its holder, even under free coinage, could always purchase a greater or less quantity of the neces­ saries of life with it. Wildcat currency is without this mitigating feature. The note of a State bank which had failed might be worth a few cents on the dollar, or it might be worth absolutely nothing. The chances would be in favor of the latter alternative. If the Chicago plank calling for the abolition of the 10 per I cent, tax on State currency is earned I out, the inevitable result will be that multitudes of persons will part with their goods or their labor for a consid­ eration which consists of waste paper. This fact was repeatedly demonstrated in the halcyon Democratic days of State bank currency before the war. It will be demonstrated once more at the cost of those who cannot afford to I lose any part of what is due them if 1 Mr. Cleveland adheres to his purpose. For the President to consent to the es­ tablishment of State banks of issue is to put a premium on robbery and swindling. These are hard words, but they fit tne case exactly. j The President's Partner. I Mr. E. C.
