HORRIBLE FATE OF A YOUNG WEST VIRGINIA LADY. Aspecial dispatch tothe Philadelphia Press from Springfield, W. Va., February 12th, says: A terrible affair has Just come to lighjon the levels near Okonoko. Mary Cox, a well-known and popniar young lady, residing near the mouth of Little Capon river, was taken vio- Jently ill. The physician diagnosed the case as yone of neuralgia of the stomach, and prescribed Morphia. A dose was administered at once, and another left with instructions to give it twenty-four hours. For some unexplained reat Son the second dose was given in a very short ume. In an hour or two afterwards the death of Cox was announced, and neigh- bors prepared the body for burial, and two. days later the deceased was interred. the funeral one lady insisted that Miss x Was not dead and b that a physiclan sent for. That night the dogs of a man living the graveyard stationed themselves near tomb and Kept up & persistent howling. e neighbors talked, and that day the grave Fras opened, when, to the horror of ail, it was found that the girl had been buried alive.

How Cupid managed to send Stephen Barker after me I never could find out; but that is between themselves, and is none of my busi- ness. A man good enough for Elizabeth and Janet, and all such ornaments to their sex, to lay his honest heart at my foolish little fee! I own that for a day or two the,honor alfmost turned my head. Then I began to consider. I had loved Nor- Strong ever since I could remember, and rman had been my friend when no one said The case stood thus: I was an orphan, left to the care of an uncle and aunt remarkable for that kind of propriety that wins our admiration and awakens our hearty desire toget away from it. I had a small fortune of $25,000; that is, I was to have it if I remained unmarried until I was thirty-five, or tf I married before, g@ith my uncle's approval. ow, uncle did not approve of Norman. In faet, uncle never approved of any one that I liked. But with Stephen Barker disapproval | was out of the question. Stephen was the great man and the good man of our small town. To have insinuated that Stephen was not worthy of a saint, a beauty and an hetress united would have been a heresy seriously affecting my uncle’s social and commercial stephen Barker's offer was there- fore accepted, and the next Sunddy we walked | to church together. After this public avowal of our intentions the arrlage was considered inevitable by every Person but me. I must do myself the Justice to state that I never regarded my engagement to Stephen seriously; it was part of a plan to se cure my happiness and rights. And as Stephen fully coincided in itIdo not expect censure from any else, I think itwas no later than the third night after Stephen had spoken to my untle tha frankly told him that I thought I ought not to marry him. He asked me why, and | said,“All ury life long, Stephen, I have been a crushed, unhappy girl. Ihave been afraid to oF laugh, or sing, and noon’ but Norman Strong ever sald a kind word to me until you came.” “And you love Norman?” he asked bluntly. I answered: “Yes, I love him, and he loves me, and when he got the position of cashier in your bank he Wanted to marry me, but uncle said we were neither of us tobe trusted with my $25,000. “So you have $25,000?” “Papa left me that muck, but Uncle Milescan keep it until I am thirty-five, unless I mi to please him, or unless he is ‘so satisfied of my ood sense that he voluntarily givesit upto me. e will never do that.” Stephen was silent a long time, and then he said, alittle sadly: “You are 4 godd girl to be so honest with me.’ If your uncle could be made to give up r little fortune do you think you could use it wisely?” “t could—with Norman to help me.’ Then we had a long conversation, which it is not ne ry for me to igpess it will be under- stood by what follows. There was no change apparently between Stephen and I. He be- haved exactly as a lover of bis age and char eter would be likely to behave. “He sent aunt presents from his hot-houses, and he made me presents of pretty jewelry. He spent the even- ings at Uncle Miles’ houge, and sometimes we were left alone togeth¥r, and sometimes we went out fora walk, Normancame to me oc- casionally on aSunday night, and my aunt sald he had really behaved with’ more good sense than she expected. Ithink she thought that if I married the banker St might not be a bad thing for my Consin Malvina, who was very plain, to marry the banker's cashier. Everything went on with the greatest pro- priety. [had announced my intentton to have au extraordinary trousseau, and this being a pofnt on which aunt could ‘feel with me, the next four months were pleasantly spent in shopping and sewing. Never in ouriittle town had there been seen such dozens of elegant! trimmed undergarments, such Lngerie, suc hosiery, such morning dresses and evening costumes, such wonderful boots and slippers and jewelry. We held little recpptions every afternoon & month before the we ng, and my Toom for comment and inspection. It was about thistime that Stephen Barker said tomy uncle: “I understaffd Frances has $25,000." I wish her to have itsosettled on ber- self, and for her own absolute use, that’ I pro- pose, Mr. Miles, if you are willing, to add $10,000 to it, and buy for her the Starnford es- iate. It is only three miles from here, the house is a very fine one, the land excellent, and then, whatever changes come, {t secures her a compe teney, for as soon as the railway is finished it will be worth double. What do you say?” “I think your offer extremely generous, Mr. Barker, and of course for such a purpose willing’ to hand over to you atonce Frances’ fortune. ‘The interest has been applied to her own use always. Will you look at the accounts?” “Your word is sufficient, Mr. Miles.” So in about two weeks the transfer was safel: and amicably eYected and Stamford Hall an gstate Were fruly and syrely made over to Frances Halliday, spinster, for her and her heirs forever. Imuststate here that I opposed ag a ne Tight Stephen's gift of $10,000, and his subsequent outlay of $1,000 on furniture; but both uncle and auntsaid that the settlement was small gnough fore man of his means, and that it would be affectation to And really Stephen managed the whole affair with such futherly Kindness and thoughtfulness that Icould not bear to oppose him. At length the wedding day drow near. It had been arranged for Wednesdgy morning, and we were toleave for New York imm Hately after the ceremony. Cousin Jose, who had pre- pared himself to look down on ‘all the world rom the pulpit, was to perform the ceremony. This showed in’ Jose a very forgiving spirit, seeing that he had once looked on me and my: $25,000 with affection, and I had not appreaia- ted the honor. However, he forgave me at this interesting epoch, and came benignly to bless my venture. He Drought me as a presents black oynx seal ring, on Which was set a cross in seed-pearls. He had offered me it once before, with bis affections and his manse, and I had tien refused it; I took it this time. a t hel to swel e List mm} resents, an: they certainly ‘made @ goodly’ grow eine there was the Stamford estate from my father and Stephen Barker, and the settled bill for $3,000 worth of new furniture which Stephen ad sent to make the old rooms pretty and com- fortable. Uncle gave mea set of silver, and aunt some fine china, both of which gifts f took care to send to Stamford before m: wedding day. |My cousins and aunts and friends gave me all sorts of P kee and pretty personal knick-knacks, and these I carefully ‘packed in the halrdozen trunks which were already soneee and directed two days before the mar Tiage day. For Bicpben had_ proposed to send all my trunks to our New York ho 1 two days before Sc Mit in order that we might have no concern about them, and that I might be gure to have all I wanted on my arrival. I 0) d this plan at first, but aunt said it was “etigpentiy proper and thoughtful.” So all my robe @xcept my weddiug dress and a traveling sult arrived at the 5th-avenue hotel, New York, on the last day of my maiden life. Norman Strong called it night and was in remarkably high spirits. He w' d me every happiness, and was very attentive to Malvina, Aunt thought his behavior charming—so un- selfish—and I was also very well satisfied with {1 “[ shall call you about 8 o'clock, Frances,’ said my aunt, as I bade good night; “the hair dresser comes at 8:30 and went to my Isaid: “Very well, aunt we was to pack my room.

There a buggy waited, and we drove rapidly to s main line about three miles off. Here we caught the 2 o'clock express, and were safe in New York and very respectably married by 10¢'clock.

From the New York Sun. A doctar from one of the western cities, who has a wide practice as an oculist and aurist, en- tered a drug store the other day and purchased small bottle of cocaine, the new anmsthetic used with such success in eye operations. He said he had prescribed it for a diseased ear. The tiny bottle, halffull of whitish powder, cost him $5. “Provincial physicians in this country are very enterprising,” said the druggist, when the doctor ha gone’ out. “They have already be- gun the use of cocaine in all sections of the country, and it is to many druggists a profitable wee cause they can charge a fancy price for it, Tquote it at over $300 an ounce. “A well-stocked drug store must be supplied with a varlety of medicines now if {ts pro- rietor fills prescriptions for all. schools,” cou- tnued the druggist. “Oneday wo had a call from a homeopathic physician for rattlesnake virus. The doctor had been called in to see a patient who was soon to die of cancer and who taken ordinary opiates until they seemed to have but little efiect. We did not have the medicine, but the next time I saw the doctor he said that he had obtained it, and that twenty qainutes after taking a very low dilution of the virus the sufferer sank into a sweet sleep. The olden days, when all sorts of insects aud ani- mals were used in medicines, were fruitful of some beneficial discoveries. The poison of a bee, when appled externally by a bee, is not particularly benefictal; but I know a doctor who claims wonders for it in cases of scarlet fever. “The beaver furnishes a remedy known as castor, used to quiet spasms, and the musk ox rovides musk. It comes in the form of a coarse Black powder, and the best of it isquoted at about $40 an ounce. We sell considerable quantities of it to the Chinese, who are said to Use it for burns. It is believed that the Chinese havea knowledge of many valuable remedies which would benefit science, but, although we have been able to purchase some of their mys- terious-looking drugs as curiosities, they have refused to impart the secret of their properties. Some ides of their notions with respect to med- icine can be gained when it is known that they regard the wild ginseng root as sacred to the healing of royalty, and as a spiritual body, capable of volition ‘and of concealing itself to escape capture. Its guardians are the tiger, wolt leopard, and snake. When a member o the royal famniiy falls sick, as did. the empress Some time ago, a party of herole men go in search of the root, whose presence is finally revealed at night by a halo over the spot of con- cealment, which is marked, the root being dug on the following day. The ‘cultivated ginseng, or jen shen, is not believed by the natives to be endowed with the properties of the wild, but is used freely by the subjects. It is believed that {ts chief value lies in its wonderful recuperating power, prolonging life when a patient has begun to sink into his last sleep, and in giving him time to arrange his affairs. “In mentioning animal products as drugs I should, perhaps, have spoken of ambergris, a deposit of grayish matter, which is found occa- slonaily in the head of a sperm whale. It sells often for $30 an ounce atretail. It is sald that one whaler found a deposit of 750 pounds in a single whale. “Among the expensive drugs isergotin, which retails at the rate of about $20 an ounce. It is @ fungous growth found on rye in Normandy. A similar growth on rye in America contains very little ergotin; less, indeed, than the smut ndian corn, As there ure several growths | which yield ergotin in a greater or less degree, so there are several South American plants that produce jaborandi, the drug now used sometimes to produce sweating, “Tn the list of expensive drugs the products of the Calatir bean may be mentioned. Physo- stigmine, which is tated by many as the best remedy ih spasmodic affections, retails at over $200 an ounce. Apomorphine, while not to be compared with the drugs that Ihave mentioned, is expensive. It was discovered by a man named Wright, who subjected morphine to a treatment that entirely changed its chemical qualities, so that instead of being an oplate it is ‘One of the most powerful emetics known, and is ven only in extreme cases, like poisoning. As said at the outset, an enterprising druggist has to keep an extensive variety of medicines, the cheapest as well as the mostexpensive.

Singular thing for a doctor to prescribe, wasn’tit? In medicine ft isa North American plant, Job’s tears is an- Qther queer remedy.” Se Names of Nations, From Gallgnant's Mearenger. These afe derived principally from some pe- cullar cause or object. For instance, Ireland— which Julius Cesar first called Hibernia—is a kind of modification of Erin, or the country of the West. Scotland, from Scotia, a tribe which origi- nally came from Ireland. It was anciently called Caledonia, which means a mountainous country—forests and lands. Portiigal, the ancient Lusitania, was so named from a town on the river Douro, called Cale, opposite to which the inhabitants built a city called Porto or Oporto. And when the country ‘was recovered from the Moors, the inhabitants combined the words and called it the Kingdom of Portucale—bence Portugal. pain, the ancient Iberia, from the river Iber- tus or Hispania, from the Phoenician Spaniga, which signifies abounding with rabbits—which avimals are very numerous in that country— hence Spain. France, from the Franks, a people of Germany, who conquered that country. Its ancient namé was Celta, Gaul or Gallia, Bareohatta, the latter signifying striped breeches, which wére worn by the natives. Switzerland, the ancient Helvetia, was so named by the Austrians, who called the in- habitants of these mountainous countries Schweitzers. Italy received its nowned prince call Perla, from its western locality, Hofland, the ancient Batavi, a warlike people, Was so named from the German word hohl, the English of which is hollow, Implying a very low country. The inhabitants are calied Dutch, from the German deutsch or teutach. Sweden and Norway were anciently called Scandinavia, which the modern antiquarians think means a country and woods which have been burned or destroyed. The appellation, Sweden, is derived from Sintuna or Suitheod, the native term Norway, or the northern way, explaining iteelf, Prussia trom Peuzal, @ Bclavonic race; but some writers supposed it took its name from Russia, and the Kclavonio syllable po, which jacent or thea hi et nmark means the marches, territories or minis the anciat Garmetie which tas ussia ie ancient rmatia, which been subsequently named Muycovy.

How They Hill the Geese that Lay Golden Eggs. ‘From the American Architect. The Builder calls attention to the tendehcy of building in England, and points out in astrik- ing way the influence which railway man- agement has upon the movement of population in any country. Almost without exception the great cities of England have gained in popula- tion within the last ten years, while the country towns and villages have either remained sta- tionary or have lost; but it is rather surprising.| to find that among the cities those situated on the coast have ed the most. Apart from the Biarant seaside resorte like Bournemouth and Hastings, which have recently become very popular as places of permanent residence, the Seaports of Grimsby, Hull, Cardiff, Gatesticad, Hartlepool, and some others, have gained from thirty to sixty per cent in population within the iast_decade, while Manchester, the second city In England, has actually deolined during that time, and ‘other interior manufacturing ie have either lost, or have gained very le. The fact that manufactures have been trans- ferred to seaport towns from the interiar places, which depend on railways for their transporta- tion, 1s too conspicuous to escape attention, and on examination it !s found thatthe present sys- tem of freight charges on the English railways practically prohibits manufacturing tn the in- rior of the country, while it fosters the impor- tation ofmanufactured products from the con- tnent ina most effective manner, Thusiron wire, which was once made in great quan- tities in Birmingham, ts’ now brought by sea from Antwerp to London, and thence carried by rail to Birmingham, at a total expense of $4.16 a ton; while the railway charge for carry- ing home-made wire of the same kind from Birmingham to London is $6.80. Antwerp is about 200 miles from London, and Birmingham 100, so that, supposing the expense of transporta- tion by sea, and transhipment, to be only half that of transportation by land for the same dis- tance, the Birmingharn manufacturer pays $3.58 a ton more than the Antwerp commission merchant for carrying his goods to London. We do not know the price of wire in England, but, supposing it to be $44 a ton, the discrimina- tion made against the Birmingham manufac- turer by the railways amounts to an impost of 20 per cent in his largest market, to which his continental corhpetitor is admitted free ofduty. It is needless to say that no honest business can long sustain such a burden, and the wire manu- facture, once one of the principal industries of Birmingham, has been transferred to the new sea-coast manufacturing towns, where it is in a measure independent of the raflways, Another town, near Birmingham, is Wolver- hampton, where nails are manufactured in reat quantities. The port most nearly in the Sirect route from Wolverhampton to Antwerp, the great distributing “center of the continent, is Harwich, The present cost of transporting nails from Antwerp to Wolverhampton by way of Harwich, whefe they are transbipped, is three dollars and ninety-two cents a ton; while the charge for railway transportation’ alone from Wolverhampton to Harwich, about one- third of the distance to Antwerp, is five dollars and twelve centsaton. It is evident that the exportation of uyils frém Wolverhampton to the continent under such clreumstances is out of the question, and the nail maztufacturers who wish to supply foreign markets must ether remove their Works to the coast, where they will no longer depend upon the railways, or give up business, In a less degree the same powerful though un- seen influence is modifying the distribution of population all over the civilized world. It is hot an insane desire to live ln dirty tenement houses that draws working people everywhere to the great cities, but the greater certainty that they will find work there, which comes’ from the concentration of manufactures in them; and the concentration of manufactures in the cities depends upon the fatt that the cities are what ilway directors call “competing points,” and that the same directors, in order to get away each other's business, are generally willing to carry goods between these and other “com- petiig points” for less than cost, making up their Toss by exorbitant demands from the man- ufacturers Who have been so ill-advised as to bulid their works at potnts which are not “com- peting,” and where they are, in consequence, at the mercy of the railway companies. In Eng- lund, where combinatiohs among the railwa corporations have taken the place of competl- jon, the number of “competing points” has been reduced so far that ail the producers of the country are more or less in their power, and are unmercifully taxed in consequence; while foreign manufacturers, who need not send their goods over English raliroads unless they wish, are allured by low rates and special favors to dé so. Fortunately for the Englishinen the sea 18 near them, and by transferring their business to the coast they can use a highway which is not subject to inonopoly, but the process of transfer is costly, and_ before the interior of the country is quite deserted 1t may occur to some director that a railway live through an unin- habited country is usually unprofitable, and that a good local business, built up by patient courtesy and fairness, in a spirit of sympathy with the interests and needs of the people who inhabit the territory slong the line, is far more remunerative to a raflroad than the greedy ex- tortion which treats persons who have the mis- fortune to need the services of the road as so much prey, to be plundered without «mercy whenever they are caught at a disadvanta To find an flustration of the operation of the same law in this country, we have only to open the annual report of a certain Massachusetts railroad company which happens to lie before us. The railroad owned by the company is one hundred and forty-three miles long, but it con- necis with other roads to form a continuous route both between Boston and the west, and towards the north, and carries a considerable amount of freight between the Missiasippi valley and the seaboard. In {ts statement of the last year’s business of the road, the report says that ‘the earnings from local’ freight per ton per mile have been three and forty-four onehun- dredths cents,” while the earnings per ton per mile from “freight to and from other roads” have been seventy-eight hundredths of one cent; and the earnings on fretght to_and fom points west of the place where the roads connects with the westward system have been six hun- dred and nine one-thougandths of one cent per ton per mile, ‘To put it in another way, this railroad has, through the year, charged all the manufacturers living on its line, and dependent upon it for transportation, nearly elx times as much for carrying their materials and goods as it has their competitors a Little west of them, and four-and-e-half times as much asthe ones to the north. THE POWER OF DYNAMITE. Itis Greatly Overestimated and Soon to be Superseded as an Explosive. From the Cornkill Magazine. Dynamite, its simplest form, closely re- sembles moist brown sugar and is nitroglycer- ine absorbed in any inert base. It is not yet twenty years old, having been first offered for sale in June, 1867. In the form in which it is Mcensed, dynamite must eonsist of 75 per cent of nitro-glycerine and 25 percent of an infusor- {al earth known as kieselguhr, Of dynamite properly so called there are only two kinds, distinguished as dynamite No. land No. 2. No, 1 is composed of 75 per cent of nitro-glycerine and 26 per cent of the infusorial earth kieselguhr; No, 2 of 18 per cent of nitro- glycerine and 82 per cent of @ pulverized pre- paration composed of nitrate of potash, charcoal and paraffine; a mixture introduced to replace er-pomder in coal-working where dynamite ¢: | was too powerful. v lycerine is p vel le-yellow oil: liquid, about half ag Heevy bedinved, water.
