HUMAN PINCUSHIONS, How Needles and Pins Work in and Out of the Body. 1 Hildanus related an incident woman who swallowed several | and passed thenr six years afterward but a more remarkable instance of pro longed detention was recorded by Ste phenson, of Detroit,—that of a lady aged who last year passed, after some month's symptoms of vesical ir ritation, a pin which she had swallow- | ed while picking her teoth with it in | the year 1835—forty-two years pre- | viously, M. Silvy records some years ago the case of a woman who had a| penchant for pinsandneedlos so strong that she made them, in fact, a part of | her daily dict, and after her death 1,- | 400 or 1,500 were removed from va- | rious parts of the body Another case almost as striking ha been recorded by Dr. Gillette, that of a girlin whom from time to time, nec dles were found bene: which they perforate moved by the fingers or forceps. Con cerningthe way in which they got into her system 1o information” could be extracted from her, She was carefully watched; and in the conrse of teen months no ) needles were extracted, all being of the same size. | The largest number which escaped in a sing was 61, | A curious phenomenon preceded the escape of cach needle. For some hours the pain was severe, and there was considerable fever. - She then felt a sharp pain, like lightning, in the tis- | sues, and on looking at the place at | which this pain had been felt, thehead of the needle was generally found pro- j The needles invariably eame | 1 foremost. No blending was occasioned, and not the least trace of inflamation followed. The doctor in attendance extracted 318. That little weight is to be attached to the place at which the needles es- cape as proof of their mode of intr duction is evident from a case record- ed by Villars of a girl who swallowed alarge number of pins and needles, and two years afterward, during a pe- riod of nine months, two hundred passed out of her hand, arm, axilla, side of thorax, abdomen and thigh, allon the left side. The pins, cu- iously, escaped more readily and with ain than the needles, Many years ago a case was recorded by Dr. Otto, of Copenhagen, in which four hundred and ninety-five need'es assed through the side of a hysteri- cal girl, who had probably swallowed them during a hys paroxysm; but all these emerged in the regions Delow the level of the diaphram, and were collected in groups, which gave rise to inflammatory swellings of some size, One of these contained one hun- cred needles, Quite rocently Dr. Bigger described before the society of surgery of Dub- lin a case m whieh more than three hundred necdles were removed from | the body of a woman who died in con- | sequence. Tt is very remarkable in how few cases the ~needles were the cause of death, and how slight an in- terferance with function their presence | and movement cause. California Raisins. | San Francisco Chronicle Three years ago, according to W, B. West, the leading viticulturist of San Joaquin valley, tho raisin pro duct of this state aggrogated “75 000 boxes of good, marketable rai At the comparatively low price of box this production was equal to $150,000. It is not much, but it is a good beginning, which, pushed with encrzy and_intelligence, may within ten years from this date secure to Salifornia producers a virtual monopoly of the raisin market of the United States. The raisin of commerce is that of Malaga. In 1876 the total im-| ports into the United States of Malaga | raisins was 52,221,006 pounds; the value was 277. In " odging house. the imports were 1BL736; value £1,904, 804 In 1876 the average| market price was 7.42 cents per pound; | in 1878 it fell t) 5.78 cents per pound This gives a general average of 6. cents. T} foreign raisins paid duty of nts a pound, T ) for the two yer 5 | cents per pornd; from which the | freight must be also deducted, and im- porters’ profits, so that the N producer could hardly have over 3} cents per pound; probably not | three cents, his is the immediate market open to California raisins; say 33,000,000 pounds, at an average of G4 cents per | pound; from which must be deducted the frieght by rail hence to Chicago, St. Louis and the eastern places of consumption. The home market (California) is already largoly supplied by home producers. Mr. West, who has shipped raisins, says the present - 1880 - price is 14 cents per pound. He also thinks that a higher price than that of 1878 for the Malagas may be relied on in the future for first-class California raisins at the east. Butin this reckoning he takes into account | some improvements anticipated in the | curing of our raisins. He thinks the | average California article is about equal to the foreign brand known us | “Layers,” and our best equal to the i known as “London Layers,” The New York market price of **Lay ers,” per box, fluctuates us follows: | 1 [ 60 | In 1575 85 In 1879 65 In 1880 o5 | General averas Tt is remarked on these figures that | “‘the price of Malaga fruit has been | very low since 1870 on account of the | depression in business which naturally | follewed the close of the German and | French war,” To explain - what our | vineyards must still do in the improve- ment of curing, packing and assorting | cided me to wait long cnough to see | | whether there was any truth in the of their raising and the cultivation of the raisin grape, these prices and qual- | ities are presented for 1878, in Malaga They are the prices paid the producer, | who only furnishes the frait and box o8 No ) per box. | No m No. 4 d No. & i London Layers ; 1o Loose Muscatels 110 do | 5 L1 do | certained in a | faithfully clus . LIZZ1E AARONSON The Experience of an Unfortunate Womanin Endeavoring to Seek Assistance From Public Institu- tions, From Phil The trial of the young woman, Liz ziv Aaronson, charged with the mur der of her infant, was resumed before Judge Allison yesterday. The crim was alloged to have been committed last January at a lodging house on Cherry street, above Eighth, It was stated that she threw her child out of a third-story window immediately on its birth, Tda McMuan testified that hie had known the defendant for some months, She met her on Kighth street, and finding out her condition, | wd that she was utterly destitute, took her home and gave her food She also gave her undetelothing and and told hershe could stay all night, or all the time. Shestayed a considerable time, She seemed to be a stranger in the city. Her shoes were wornand broken. The weather was cold. The witness gave her some muslin, Both commenced to make in- fant clothing. The witness afterward took Lizzie to the hompital and Ly ing-in Charity at Eleventh and Cher y streets. The witness told the au- thorities that Lizzie had no home, and that she had been brought from New York, and deserted here by her hus- band. The witness was informed however, that Lizzie could not be taken in unless she had 85 a week to pay her board, and had a marriage certiticate, which, although m she had not. The witness and Lizzie then returned home. Afterward they went to the hospital at Eleventh and Filbert streets, and were told to go to the almshouse. They went to the guardians of the poor who sent them to a magistrate to obtain a committal, but Lizzie could not make the necessary atfidavit, as she was a married woman. After- ward they went to the Home Mission on Arch street, near Sixth, to get a ticket to New York, but this would given without yment of one dollar. Thence they went to the Woman's Christian association, on Seventh street, near Arch, where the prisoncr’s story was told, and the per- son they say there said that nothing could be done for her except to give her a note to the secretary, at Fourth and Branch street. At the latter latter place they were informed by a woman that nothing could be done for Lizzie, on account of her condition. Then they went to the witness’ sister, at Front and Moore stroets, where they took supper. When they were leaving Lizzie fell on the car track from weakness. On the same day, witness took her to Second and Callow- hil streets, an, Second and But- tonwood streets. ~ While on the way to the latter place Lizzie fell cross the gutter, cutting her lip. Lizzie left the witness' two or three days before the birth of the child to find employ- ment ie Fleck testified that she met » young woman on the strect and e her fifty cents for lodging, and she said she was a_stranger and had no place to go. She was alone and very cold, having only slight clothing. Aday or so afterward the witness met Lizzio again and took her to the It was snowing at the time and the soles were off Lizzie's shoes and she had no stockings on. The witness helped her on soveral oc- casions as much as she could. On the night the clild was born the witness met Lizzie, who was very sick, on the street, and told her to wait until she could get somo money for her to buy wood, but when the witness returned she was gone. Considering the peculiar and dis tressing circumstances revealed by the testimony District Attorne, did not feel disposed to pres convietion. Judge Allison then called the two women whose charity had been the ner'’s sole resource to come for- He direeted them to be scated ¢ the bar, and then charged the jury as follows: I coincide entir with the district attorney as to the scriousness of the offense charged and the difficulty of proving it, and in this |case the medical evidence proved so | clearly that death might not . been caused by the mother that T ad- vised the district attorney that he had better submit the bill, wish, how- to say (und hero tears filled Judge Allison’s eyes) from this bench that the behavior of these two girls deserves the greatest commendation, Many women dressed in purple and finelinen would have passed this poor creature by, It remained for those struggling in poverty and shame to lend a helping hand. ~ This poor girl, in utter loneliness, weuk and ex hausted, wandering from one charity to another and denied admittance to all, finally sought refuge in a lodging house, where she had not means to pay for that lodging, and there in cold | 1 squalor she gave birth to this child. ~This illustra the absurdity of the rules governing the so-called charities, which gives to all those hay ing natural s and deny their 1efits ¢ a8 fortunate if m eulpable.” Reiterating his that the commonwealth had make out a case; a verdict of opinion d to acquittal was dirceted, which the jury promptly returned .

Success The Next Lunar Eclipse. About one o'clock on the morning of June 12, Washington time, there will begin a total eclipse of the moon which will last an_hour and twenty one minutes. Eclipses of the moon, as a writer in The Boston Advertiser points out, are generally little valued by astrononiers, hecause the times of contacts cannot usually be ascertained with the required precision, but it is probable that the eclipse of June 12th will not be neglected, in - consequence of an cvent which is very rare, viz., whilst the moon is itself “‘totally” eclipsed, it will, in many places in the United States and Canada, occult or eclipse one, two or three stars, 44, 50 and 51, of the constleation Ophiuchus of the 5th, 7th and bth magnitudes, the immersion and emersion of which stars can, should the night be clear, be easily scen with the aid of o small telescope, or even an opera glass, as the light of the moon during the eclipse will be greatly diminished, but not wholly destroyed by the earth. The next total eclipse of the moon will be on April 10, 1884, visible in California, and October 14, 1884, the latter part of which may be seen in sw England; but during the co tinuance of both of them, there will not be any oceultation of a star. Relios of the Mormon War. Nauvoo (111.) Independent The old frame building which stood at the northwest corner of the public square at Carthage was torn down a few days ago, when al relies of ancient times were discovered. Referring to the discoveries made in the old house, the Gazette At the time the building was being repaired by Dr. Spitler, workmen found buried in the ground near the southwest corner of the foundation fourteen cannon balls. How these balls came there or by whom buried is not known, but it is supposed they were put there by two men who slept in the building at the time of the Mormon troubles. Some of the balls are yet in the possession of partics here who cherish them as relics of those memor- able days. On Thursday Clarence Spitler and Charlie Taylor discovered secreted between the attic and the ceiling two large swords, These scabbards were very rusty, the hand-guards badly tar- nished and the strappings hard and moldy, but the sword blades were al- most as bright as new. The patterns are the two feet tew inches in length and one | inch wide, both bearing the brand ““N. P es, cutler, Springficld, Mass,, U.S.” Who hid these weapons will probably never be known, but it is ‘\rvlh'\ml they too are relics of the Mormon war. Mr. Chas. Chr.
