There are still other persons who are suspicioned as being at least acceswories after the facts, and more arrests will follow._The theory of the murder now is that he was chloroformed at Mrs. Juckson‘s on South Second street, where the negro, Thorpe, was porter, and aitecwards thrown into the river, When the body was found a watch and considerable loose change was found in the pockets, which seemed to allay the suspicion of robbery, but several thousand deliars young Ledgers had brought from England were never found.

The blue linen comes in the most delicate snades, but it is well to be governed by the decorations of the room in which it is placed ; thestripes of any material employâ€" ed should be twice the width of the inserâ€" tion, as they will hold the bedwpread in shape better.

A Ghastly Tale from China. There are many curious trades in the world, but the most strange must surely be the «* artificial mautacture oi wild men." Yet a wellâ€"known English doctor in China has just certified from his own personal experience that this art is regularly pracâ€". tised in the Flowery Kingdom. First a youth is kidnapped, then bit by bit he is flayed alive, and the skin of a dog or bear graited piece by piece upon him. His vocal chords are next destroyed by the action of charcoal to make him dumb ; and the double purpose of causing ** etiolation‘ of the skin and utter degradation of the mental faculties is effected by keeping him immured in a perfectly dark hole for a number of years. . In fact, by treating bim like a brute for a sufficiently long time he is made into one. _ At last he is exhibited to the entirely credulous" Chinese as a wild _man of the woods, and his possessors reap a rich harvest. } The priests, it seems, are adepts at the 7 nvivestens ied n mb cameaen ons t EDSPREAL BP PTUT ME TCCCY The priests, it seems, are adepts at the art. â€" When a kidnapper, however, is caught by the people he is torn to picces, and when the authorities get bim they torture him and promptly behead him. Such is life under the rule of the Son of Heaven. Mistress (a widow)â€"Well, Johnson, I‘m sorry you are going to leave us, but you‘re veory Â¥mmu in having this money left r?au.
