Freeman. Who Sacrificed His Little Girl, Released from the Asylum. to-day ordered the release of Charies F. Freeman, the religious fanatic of Pocasset, who in May, 1879, slew his ttle daughter as an offering to the Almighty, Freeman was the leader of a small company calling themselves Second Adventists in the little Cape Cod village. A supremeegotist and fanatic, he grew to imagine that he was called of God to lead a new religious movement. He preached the idea to his followers, and just be fore the tragedy he had decided to start out on his mission. He called a final meeting of the faithful to assemble at his house on May 1, During the preceding few days he became tm- pressed with the Idea that God demanded of him 4 great sacrifice asa test of his faith. He talked over the matter with his wife, and they both be- came convinced that the Almighty wished the yielding up of their ttle daughter Raith. The: prayed over it long and earnestly, until near day~ reak on May 1 they felt that the time had come. Kising from their knees, having spent. the night in prayer, they went to'the bedroom of thelr two daughters. ‘The mother held the lamp while the father bared the breast of little Edith, thelr best beloved, and plunged a Knife into it. ‘Then he took the child in bis arms. ‘The little one looked up at him, twined her arms about his neck, murmured stimply, “Ob, papa!” and died. A few houts later the neighbors gathered pursu- ant toinvitation. Freeman and his wife seemed not sad, but subdued. A religious service took piace. Freeman read ‘the scriptures and offered PRayer,,, then he explained the great, sacrifice Re been called upon to make, described his first resistance to the call of God, his final yielding, and the blessed promise that had come vo hiul that the child would be raised again on the third day. His followers listened spellbound, most of them believing and accepting all that the fanatic Said. He led them into the next room and showed them the body of the little child, where it lay Waiting for the resurrection. ¢ Later in the day the dreadfal secret leaked out among the sane people of the community, and the arrest of the Freemans soon followed. The strang- est part of the story ts the blind faith of their fol- lowers. An amazing scene and almost a lynching followed on the ensuing Third day, Sunday, when the child was buried. “The Adventists, most of them, expected the child to rise from Its cottin be- fore them, and an attempt Dy one of them to de- fend the murderer infuriated the other attendants atthe funeral. Mrs Freeman was released after a brief imprisonment, and her husband, being found hot guilly by reasoh of insanity, Was committed to the State Lunatic hospital for fife.

Reports of foul play became so prevalent and pe sistent that the authorities took the matter in hand, and last Monday Coroner Ormsby caused the body to be exhumed, and summoned a jury of inquest. The testimony of Dr. Crumb, and of partes who had heard young Allen utter threats of violence toward his steptatuer, Was taken. ‘The jury rendered a verdict that David Norris came to diSucath by a violent. blow on the side, causing pneumonia, and indicating Frederick Allen as the person probably guilty of the crime.

WHAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE CITY AND FOR MABYLAND BY IMPROVED RAILROAD FACILITIES. “Gath” in Cincinnati Enquirer. Hagerstown is the second place in the state of Maryland in population and trade. It 1s only seventy-two miles from Washington city, and yet the morning train out of Washington to Hagers- town occuptes four hours and ten minutes making that distance, or nearly the same time that the limited express train occupies between Washing- ton and New York, a distance of two hundred and forty miles. The little Western Maryland railroad, which 4s a longer route from Washington, 1s the Superior route to travel over from the capital to Hagerstown, ‘The Pennsylvania railroad 1s as considerate of thinly settled localities as of populous regions. ‘The Eastern Shore of Maryland, which 13 now absolutely in the hands of the Pennsylvania ratl- Toad system, has such trains as the people there never anticipated. You can leave Dover, the capl- tal of Delaware, and be in Philaderphiay & distance of probably seventy miles, in time for bank hours, ‘The Pennsylvania system not only supplies fast trains, but numerous trains. ‘There will never be @ galvanizing Of the state of Maryland until the distances are reduced by tme. “The Baltimore and Ohio spent its money laying Itself abreast of the Pennsy lvanta systet, put has falled to discern the rising opportunities’ in the vicinity of Wash- ington city, which probably in ten years more will Lave the population that, Baltimore possesses, and J think ‘uitimately will pass Baltimore in Population. Yet, for the first time the Metropolt- tan branch of thé Baltimore and Onto road 15 con- structing @ second track through that, region of country ‘which presents the only heaithy belt of development in the vicinity of Washington. I think that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has hevor developed one town in all the state of Mary- an ‘The Baltimore and Ohio route from the north- West to the northeast ts roundabout, and, as Jay Gould remarked to me three months go, the building of the Philadelphia branch may yet com- yel a Teorganizatlon of that property. I thought at the tue Mr. Gould spoke that he was reason- ing from his interests, but we have already seen a disposition on tue part of the Gurrett family to seul thelr rallroad property out. This movement, if successful, will redound to the advan: tage of thé American capital, which has taken tremendous strides forward since the Penn- sylvania system Was opened toits portals, and with a dual line trom New York to Washington the latter city may realize the expectations of Senator McPherson, who thinks that it Will become the soctal, political and literary center of the whole Union: If the Danville people obiain the Baltimoro and Onto property they will ind Occasion for development northwest of the City of Washington. The public capital requires a, northwestern line independent of the connections of the City of Baltimore. No portion of the comntry presents better chances for speculation and developement than the Maryland counties between Washington and the Pennsylvania line. A Shower of Quails. From the Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise, March 9, ‘Sportsmen in this part of Nevada are lamenting the great slaughter of quails made by “pot hunt- ers” on the Carson and other places where the birds sought shelter during the late big storm. Such slaughter 1s to be deplored, but it may be that we shall have a new stock of quail sent us. A few years ago we had in this city a most remarka- ble shower of qual.

When they feil they seemed to be completely exhausied. People caught them by putting their hats over them or by sim- ply picking them up. Everybody had quail. About a hundred were caught allve and kept in cages and pens in various parts of the town. A curious thing Was that these seemed pertectly tame and athome at once. ‘There were at the time many conflicting opinions about this ofreat Might, of quails. ‘The most probable solution of the phe- Bomenon Was tat the binds had collected at some polnts In the Slerras tor the purpose of migratin: to the southward, but hud eter mistaken thee course or had been blown out of it, aud go flew on and on till they were obliged to come to the ground turough exhaustion.

Why peopie fancy that a rallroad must neces- sarily be an ugly object I never have discovered. ‘There are rail oads and railroads; a long, straight, raised embankment in a flat country 1s ugly; but a rafiroad in a mountainous country adds an addi- tional charm to the view.

From the Chicago Herald. AS a train was pulling out of the West Side Union station in Chicago a passenger sat still a moment as if listening to something, and then rose from his seat, picked up his luggage, and asked his traveling compantop to go with him into the frst car ahead. “But we have just got comfortably seated here,” replied the other; “why should wemake a change? Car too hot for you?” “No, the temperature fs all right.” “Too cold, mebbe?” “No, it's not too cold.” “Then what is the matter? Why should we go into the front car?” “Well, Yl tell you. You know I used to be a railroad man, a conductor, and, of course,I picked up some idea’ on the road that a man gets only from experience, As soon as the train started my ears told me there was a flat wheel under this car. Don’t you hear it rapping on the rails? Wait till the train slows up for the first stop, and then you'll hear it—running too fast now. Yes, sir, car wheels flatten out, and have to be closely watched. Some imperfection or unevenness in the tron, or some extraordinary blow on a rail or obstruction, makes an impression on the surface of the wheel, and then every revolution thereafter adds to the injury. A wheel will flatten out in a remarkably Short time, and on long runs of through trains a Nat wheel is a source of danger. If this wheel Tuns from here to New York, and happens to be a pretty soft wheel, the chances are that it will ar- rive there in a very bad condition, after doing as much damage to the track on the Journey as the company will get in passenger money from all the occupants of the car. Of course, there's 18 not much danger; but Imake 1% rule never to ride in acar that has a flat wheel under it, and it you don’t mind we'll go up ahead.” No ‘Taste in the Tip of the Tongue. From the Boston Journal of Commeres. Strictly speaking, with the tip of the tongue one can’t really taste at all, If you puta small drop of honey or oll of bitter almonds on that part of the mouth you will find, no doubt te your great surprise, that 1t produces no effect of any sort; you only taste it when it begins slowly to diffuse itself, and reaches the true tasting region in the middle distance. But if you put a littie cayenne or mus- tard on the same part you will find that 1t bites You immediately—the experiment should be tried Spanngly—while if you put it lower down in the mouth you will swallow it almost without notic- ing the pungency of the stimulant. ‘The reason 1s {that the Up of the tongue ts supplied only with the herves, which are really nerves of touch, not nerves of taste proper; they belong to a totally different main branch, and they go toa different center in the brain, together with the very similar threads whitch “supply the nerve of Smell from mustard and pepper. ‘That 1s, why the smell and taste of these pungent sub- stances are 30 much alike, as everybody must have noticed, a good soit ata mustard pot producing almost the same irritating effects as an incantious mouthful. When one 4s trying deliberate experi- ments on the subject, in order to test the varging sensitiveness of the’ different parts to different substances, 1 1s necessary to keep the tongue quite dry in order to isolate the thing you are ex- pertmnenting with and prevent its speading to all Parts of the mouth together. In actual practice this result fs obtained in rather a ludicrous man- ner—by biowing upon the tongue between each expertinent with a pair of bellows. ‘To such un- dignitled expedients does the pursult of science lead the modern psycholozist. ‘The Cowardice of Animals. HOW A LION ATTACKED A DONKEY AND WAS DE- FEATED. From the Scientific American. Not long since the writer saw Mr. Thomson, a dealer in live animals, open a box containing an anaconda, take the reptile by the throut, and calmly examine its mouth, opened though it was in rage, to look for cancerous tumors. Then from adjoining shelves he took python after python, each about ten feet long, and examined them in lke manner. Only last Week at the place of an- other dealer—Reiche—a big, powerful Syrian bear, a type known for its ferocity, was subdued witl out the firing of ashot. The bear broke through iron bars half an inch thick, and, standing up with his back against a cage of monkeys, thrust his terrible paw threateningly toward three keep- ers gathered about him. He didn’t have a chance to lise them, however, for his. was belabored with clubs until glad to get back again into his cage. On a pedestal near the gate of the Cincinnatt zoological gardens there recently stood the stuffed figure of a donkey which, when alive, withstood the attack of a lion and beat him off. ‘The lion, it seems, had broken out of his cage and escaped toa. wood hear by.

The origin of these fires could never be determined at the ume, and though they were thought to be the work of an incendiary no evidence was forthcoming to that effect. But in addition to the crime of tire raising, this interest- ing person has further confessed that when she was only elghteen Years of she strangled her hus- band, to whom she had been married about eleven months, and she has caused the report to be spread that he had committed suleide, her sole motive for this deed belng, as she states, that she was tired of him.

In 1871, when Berlin had a garrison of 18,603 soldiers, the masculine element exceeded the fair sex by 8,523; on December 1, 1875, with a garrison of 19,505 men, the femininé element had falned the predominance by 4,452; on December , 1880, this excess had increased 036,072, and on December 1, 1885, tt had risen to 51,631, a ee ‘Traced by Her Sand Pites, ‘From the San Angelo (Texas) Enterprise.

From the London Standard, March 4 Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone dined with Mr. Knollys at Queen Anne’s Mansions on Thursday evening, and left about 10:30 o'clock for Dollis Hill in a one-horse open phaeton. A dense fog prevailed, and on entering Hyde Park the coachman was un— able to see his way, the result being that one of the wheels of the carriage came into contact with the curb near Stanhope gate. The coachman pulled up, and Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone resolved to Teturnto Carlton House terrace. ‘They alighted from the carriage and were soon recognized by some policemen, Who rendered them every assist ance. The coachman took out one of the carri Jamps and led the horse, accompanied by three policemen, out of the park, across Piccadilly, to Constitution Hill Mr, and Mrs. Gladstone pro- creded on foot a8 far as the Wellington Arch, where they re-entered the carriage. Having been driven through St. James’ Park to the foot of the steps leading to the Duke of York's Column they walked to 21 Carlton House terrace, arriving there at 11:40, The cause of thelr unexpecked return caused much amusement in the household. Neither of them was any worse for the expe- Tlences of the night, Last evening Mr. Gladstone Teturned to Carlton House terrace at 9:45 o’c! having, in consequence of the continued fog, abandoned the intention of proceeding to Dol- in Berlin.

Hostesses, a8 a rulé are charming women, but they are weak in one particular, and that isin al- lowing themselves the sin of being imposed upon and also of being unduly good natured. One of their pet sins ts allowing themselves to be abused by unwelcome guests. For instance, what do you ‘think of this. A clever woman who receives very largely sent cards last year to a woman who after- Wards proved a most undesirable acquaintance. ‘When she found her out madame thought t was an easy matter to end the matter, When the un- desirable appeared again she was greeted with & cool “How d'ye do” apd a nod for parting. The next appearance was greeted with but the nod and no “How d'yedo.” ‘The undestrable accepted that a8 a substitute for a welcome on several occ: Dut finally seemed to understand what it meant, What do you think she did then? Betake herself to her friends? Not at all. She simply dispensed with the nod, and when madame would make the tour of her drawing rooms she would find her as comfortably ensconced in a corner as if it were ‘the house of her dearest friend. a ae Abuse of the Pet-Name Craze, From the Williamsport Grit. It has frequently become our duty to warn hus- ands against the pernicious practice of calling their wives ill-advised pet names. The records of the divorce courts of all cities contain instances wherein domestic felicity has been entirely ruined by the abuse upon the part of the husband of a dangerous conjugal privilege, for a digoree in Chicago called hét a In the Sterling case, which has Just been decided in Brooklyn, it was shown that the husband called his wite “Nigger.” He might have known perfectly well that such a haine was only applied toa certain brand of to- bacco. Itis safest in all instances for husbands to address their wives by the name which the wile’s mother decided she should bear. Answering the Minister. From the Church of England Temperance. Chronicle.
