This appeared only to increase her infatuation, and in many ways she showed her esteem and affection. Her conduct at last be- ame 80 conspicuous as to nieet the entire disapprobation of her husband. This served to increase the flame, and it soon became the com- mon gossip of all the members of the con; tion that she was desperately in love with the handsome priest. Dr. Schloesser as a last resort laid the whole matter before the husband, and asked his co-operation in protecting the reputa- tion of his wife. It was to no purpose, however, and with a mind fully alive to the duties of his position, he determined to leave his congrega- ton. After a conference with Bishop Gilmour, it was considered advisable for him to leave the state, and one of the finest churches in Chicago opened its doors to him. He had spoken to but few intimate friends and members of the con- regation of his having been transferred, and a few Sundays ago just prior to his departure, be made his farewell address.

She had taken a seat near the altar, and when sbe beard the an- nouncement that he was to leave she uttered a shriek and fell forward upon the floor. Several members of the co: ion rushed at once to her aid, and she was conveyed to an adjoining room and a physician summoned.

More care than is usually given the breakfas table would be well spent, both for the comfor. and refinement of the family. The informality of the first meal of the day does away with much of the ceremony, especially when the family breakfasts alone, but good tastemay al waysbe displayed. Little attentions to deco ration and pretty arrangements of fruit and flowers charm the eye and whet the appetite, while the every-day observance of simple, ele- gant table manners promote comfort ’ and culture and prevent the possibility of embar- Fassment upon state occasions. Every meal ‘ought to be as good as the housekeeper can afford, and as taste costs nothing save a little expenditure of time, there is no reason why the most modest meal should not be neatly spread and served with style that will add a charm to the oceasion. It 1s always preferable at the family breakfast to have a few well-cooked dishes, such as suit the taste of each individual. ‘There fs really very little extra work in this way of living, and when adopted all anxiety in entertaining ceases.

A Williamsport, Pa, special, November 5th, says: In the early part of June the woods in Gamble township, Lycoming county, were set on fire, and much property was destroyed. ‘Two weeks afterward a tramp was arrested on suspicion, and he said that Patrick Curran, an old man known in that region as having a bad, character, had set fire to the woods to gratily a grudge he cherished against the owners. Cur- Tan was promptly atrested, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to nine months in jail. in his incarceration be has frequently evinced a de- sire to communicate something of a mysterious nature, but when engaged in conversation in- variably stopped short without yielding any intelligence concerning his secret. On Monday Curran was stricken with paralysis. and, the Jail physicians sald he could not live. This morning he called Sheriff Sprague to his cell and said that he had determined to make acon- fession, and his story was substantivily as fol- ows: “I was born in a small hamlet near the city of Cork eighty-one years ago. In my youth I received a fair education, my parents being en- gaged in the industry of cotton bleaching. Upon my father's death Ispent what money was left me in gambling and drinking and got into an; number of serapes, but was never ‘arrested, YT Joined the fenians, and was the leader ofa number of men during the insurrection which was started by William Smith O’Brien. My boon companion was a young man, one Pat Martin, and my, acquaintance witht him was my ruination. Martin and I got into a scrape and that, together with our connection with the young Ireland party, compelled us to flee the ecountry. We left Cork in disguise and game, to, America, and after knocking abo! t New York for some time we came to Pennsy|- Vania and procured employment in the coal mines, We Joined the Mollie Maguires, and were leaders in all their conclaves. Tired of this, as there was not money enough in it for us, we left the coal regions and tramped ’ to Howard, in Center county, where we joined a crowd of counterfeiters. At Howard a coldness sprang up between Martin and me on account of a girl to whom we were both paying attentions. We had buried our money in an old barnon the outskirts of the town, and one night in the early part of 1863 ‘We went there to divide the spoils. Martin was very ugly and we quarreled. He hit me, and then we came to blows. He threatened to’blow on me, and tor my own protection I drew my knife from my pocket and killed him. Digg} ing Sole in the, corner of the barn, I buried fhe , covel e with a bundle of rye straw and set it on fire. As soon as the burn Was ablaze I made my escape and came to Wil- Mamsport. This is my secret which I have kept for the last twenty-two years, and I feel as ir I can’t die until I confess,”” Curran told the sheriff that he will shortly confess to crimes committed in Lycoming county that will implicate certain people iit founterfelting, The old man’s hair is gray,and is face is covered with a y beard.’ He ‘chews tobacco constantly, and cries out for ram.

In 1808 there were some nine or ten varieties of the flower, produced by culti- vation, until now the number is almost count- less. In the descriptive catalogues of the grow. ers, where the different shapes of the blooms are classified, we read of the incurved flow: whose flat florets curve in towards the center the bloom; the recurved or reflexed, which bend backward from the center, the quilled, the edges of whose flowers are ‘iInvolute an coherent, looking like small tubes; and the anemone flowered, which have @ cen- ter like a small cushion or but- ton, surrounded by a ray of flat florets. It seems almost wonderful when we remember that most of the superb chrysanthemums which our florists cultivate should have come from @ simple daisy-like flower, first brought from Chusan, an island on the east coast of China. It is‘an illustration of what an enthu- siastic love for flowers, combined with patience in their cultivation and close observation of their habits of growth, is able to do in the pro- duction of new forms of floral beauty. It were worth the study of years to have produced a flower like the ‘Mrs, G, Rundle,” that splendid White bloom so well known ‘to most of our readers, or the “Mrs. Haliburton,” with its florets slightly quilled, beautifully incurved, and its deep bioom of a primrose-white color, or the “James Salter” with its rose-lilae, curled florets, the admiration of all frequenters of the famous London chrysanthemum shows. The Japanese variety of this flowef is of a much later introduction than the Chinese, and, toour mind, not half so lovely, though thé present fashion has decreed that it should prove more attractive to the general public. he first specimens which were sent to Eng- land struc! som everybody by their cell a were spotted and striped; others were fantis caily formed and called dragons, while one was an exquisitely fringed white bloom, looking more like a Japanese pink than a chrysanthe- mum. ‘The petals of one were Ike loug, thick hairs of a red color, tipped with yellow, ke the fringe of a shawl,while others were remark- able for their immense size and brilliant color- ing. The distinctive attraction of the Japa- nese sorts is claimed by the growers to be their endless diversity of form and color. One writer speaks of seeing the anemone-flowered Japanese as large as saucers and ofall colors from white to crimson-searlet and purple through all the shades of sulphur, primrose, yellow, buff and red. One recommendation of this variety is, in addition to their large size, peculiarity of form or strangeness of color, that they bloom later and remain longerin Bloom than the Chinese kinds, so that it oy eames to have their flowers up to almost midwinter. For decorative pur- poses they are invaluable, and this is, perhaps, One of the reasons why they are being cultit vated more and more by our florists, Chrysan- themum exhibitions are as ular abi and in Boston, New York and Philadelphia as are the spring and summer rose shows, while our American growers of the plant are hot excelled by their forelgn brethren in quality of blooms, however it may be as to the quantity. It is not necessary, however, that one should be a professional florist in order to be a success- ful grower of the chrysanthemum. Any one who has a small conservatory, or even a large, well- lighted window or two, may find room for a few plants which have’ been allowed to grow out-of-doors during the summer and moved in- side after the buds are tipped with color and before the sharp frost can ‘touch them. After that, with ordinary care, they will do well and prove a source of great délight when other flow- ers are faded and gone. le growing of this flower, in its improved forms, has really but just begun in this country, yet a great degree of ‘success has been reached.

An examination of the bones since their dona- tion to tie Bridgeport historical and scientific societies by those versed in such matters makes itevident that the burials took place before the advent of white men here and long before the American Indians themselves had pos- session of the territory. The frontal part of the forehead of each skull appears to have been flattened after the manner of some of the an- cient Mexican and the more recent Oregon “flathead” Indians. One of the skulls, that of an apparently young person, presents this flat feature more strikingly than the others, An- other skull seems to have received a fracture before the decease of the person to whom it belonged and to have grown firmly together again. In view of these observations the infer- ence drawn is that the skeletons are all that remain of bodies buried hundreds ot years be- fore white people settled here. “New England had its Indian tribes, and history has told of their habits and antiquity, but no history has shown that flatheads ever’ dwelt on shores of Long Island sound. ‘The theory of flathead oceupancy of this soil before the American took possession is by this discovery confirmed, and further by the fact that recently, near the same ground, the same contractor brought to light, ‘besides bones, several stone hatch- ets and a clay plate or dish, the latter an article not made or used’ by Ameri- can Indians, but which must have been brought here’ by tribes from Mexico or the west. Dr. Benjamin Trumbull, in his history of Connecticut, relates that, implements of for- eign and southwestern make had been found only in Kent, Litchfield pounty, the point where possibly Indians first located, but ifthe above interpretation can be accepted’ there had been Indians of tribes unknown tothe historian along the shores of the sound during long periods before the Kent arrivals of which he speal ‘Rev. Samuet Orcutt, who is writing history of Stratford and Bridgeport, considers the dis- covery of great importance, and he will be thus enabled to incorporate tacts of a novel and in- teresting character. —————_+9¢__ Hushing Up a Scandal Ottawa, Ont., Telegram to the N. Y. Herald, Nov. 5, Ottawa society has been deprived of the de- tals of a first-class scandal, whioh was to have been ventilated atthe assize court today by the settlement of the case outelde the court room, The suit in question was brought by R. B. Bell, member of the elvil service, against Mr. Colby, member of parliament, who was chai with having used’ plainut's promiscsfer tee ioral purposes and with having slandered plaintifl’s wife. Hon. John Carling, postmaster feneral, was among the witnesses “who were to. have given evidence on plaintiff's behall, as well as many others holding high political and social positions. This naturally gave additional Anterest to the case. A young and charming widow was a co-respondent in the suit.

It came to our notice some time ago that a girl answering her description had been entrapped; and 15 gompany with other officers I visited No. 52 Pitts street, an establishment kept by one ‘Trromas n, Known to the authorities as ‘Bill Dow.’ Entéring his house I called for the girl, but was enanie 50. oe enone a a oe search was made.

I heard of the matter some three weeks ago. It issaid that there was a woman, living now in Connecticut, who was, at the time of Lizzie’s abduction, an inmate of No. 52 Pitts street. She $008 pity: on Lizzie and defended her from much of the persecution which she would have otherwise been obliged to suffer, and for this Teason fell under the displeasure of the pro- prietor, who drove her from the house. Ac- cordingly she went to Connecticut, but before leaving the clty she reported the éondition of the Merchant girl to officers of division No. 3. It was in this manner that the first information regarding Lizzie was obtained. From what Lizzie says it seems that there are other pris- oners In the same condition that she was in at the same house, The case should be thoroughly investigate New Fashions in Jewelry. ‘From the Jeweler's Circular. The demand is growing all the while for per- sonal ornaments that will not only represent an intrinsic value in dollars and cents, but an art value before which the worth of the materials employed sink into insignificance, When a lady’s gold brooch shows, from the conception of its first formation to the touching finish of its decoration, originality and beauty, it will be- come a matter worth having and holding, and for which patrons of cultivated tastes wi ays r art remunerative price, just as the, now Work in other directions. ihre of jewelry, worthy or entirely oblite- Formerly in the makh conceptions were disto rated In the attempt at production, because the sashion of the period rigidly observed certain forms and conventional decorations, outside of which the articles introduced was pronounced “not in style,” @ flat that rendered it of service only in the melting pot.

Seal rings are worn by both’ sexes, and are smaller in size than were those of former years, ‘The seal is cut in crest or cypher in place of the monogram, which 1s out of style. Popular stones for seals are sards and bloodstones, both of which take on a fine polish and are particu- larly adapted to the purpose, because they de- liver easily from the heated’ wax without de- Stroying the impression. The most beautiful specimens of liver-colored and brownish red sards ure found in India and in Arabia. ‘The extreme fashion in gentlemen's attire de- mands that the broad expanse of white ex; by ‘the low-cut evening dress be tarnished either by a plaited shirt bosom or one of pique embroidered in dots.

Of course, sleeve buttons worn with evening dress correspond with the studs, and where fashion is carried to greatest ex: tremes, the collar button is set with the same stone, although supposed to be conceaied from view. Favorite ear rings are solitaire diamonds or other single stones set in a manner that best ex- hibits the beauty of the gem. An entirely new setting, as yet employed more especially for solitaire ear rings, has just been introduced to the trade, By this new arrangement the stone 1s mounted ins setting with @ double ring, one of which is hollow while the other contains an iridium needle, This needle with its constant vibrations serves two pul It adds greatly to the apparent value and brilliancy of the gem, wich catches and reflects new lights a3 it juivers with the never ceasing movement of the needle; it also insures satety to the stone, for the movementot the iridium needle being that of the point of a compass rather than of a pendulum, it does not wear the ring.
