The Correctionville News of the Oth inst., has a well written article, evidently by some on who has been on the ground, about the suicide of a Mrs. Matilaa J. Thornley, of Wolf Creek township, The News account says The family came from near Anamosa some three years ago, and bought an eighty-acre farm of Henry Wilke, which, by careful farming, had brought them enough money to buy an adjoining eighty this spring, which was being opened and improved at the time of the tragedy. Everything about the farm bears evi- dence of thrift and prosperity. A num- bor of acres of forest fand orchard trees are in fine condition, strawberries and other small fruit have been planted in abundance, the garden and orchard well- fenced; in fact, everything betraying the care and neatness of the English farmer, who, upon a small farm, has learned lessons of economy which he brings to bear upon his larger possessions in America. The dwelling of itself is not valuable but is roomy, and as good as the average farm house. The main part is about 16 by 20, with a shed 12 by 16 on the south side, used as a kitchen and dining-room, and the place where the bloody deed was committed. The interior of the house shows the deceased to have been a neat and tidy housekeeper, The rag carpot in the best room was clean, and supplied with neat home-made mats, The win- dows and woodwork were clean and bright, the stove nicely polished, pictures and bric-a-brac arranged tastefully about the walls; in one corner in a cupboard were some twenty or thirty pans of milk, but she who had been the keeper and proserver of this home lay in her coftin at oneside of the room. Over her bent those who had known the family best, and in the presence of the dead they tell something of her history. She was a good woman save for her temper, over which she had little if any control. She was passionately fond of dancing, and her husband had brought her to Correctionyille upon several ocea: sious to dances. As may be supposed there was continually trouble in the fam- ily, the wife insisting upon having her own way and upon several occasions threatening to take her life if her wishes were not granted. Mr. Tharnley did not say much but managed things to suit himself, Iargely. For some time before the tragedy it had been agreed upon that they should separate. They had ocou- pied separate rooms for some and al- though living under the same roof were ounly waiting until the agreement could be perfected. About two weeks ago the husband went to Sioux City and got $300 in cash which he gave her, and also a lien upon the farm for 8700 in lieu of her dower. Everything had been comploted, Mrs. Thornley had packed her trunks taking what she wished about the house, and on the day of her death she was to go to Sioux City and take the cars for Anamo- sa. Mr. V. Heath’s boy had been work- ing for themfon the farm and had gone the night before to a party in the neigh- borhood to which Mrs. Thornly wished to go, but her husband didn’t want to go, and so they stayed at home. She passed a restless night, not undressing uutil 2 or 3 o'clock. Nothing unusual occurred in the morn- ing; she got breakfast as usual, and while eating they talked over her leaving dur- ing the day, and it was decided that when Heath should return, as he would soon, he should take her to Sioux City. Mr. Thornly finished his meal and went out to feed the pigs, and that was the last time he saw his wife alive. had a 9.year old boy up stairs just getting over the measles. Just before breakfast she had brought him something to eat and kiesed him good-bye. He says that after his father went out he heard a noise like the upsetting of chairs, a heavy fall, and thenallwas quiet. He got out of bed, and went down stairs and sawghis mother lying on the kitchen floor, face down- ward, and the blood running from her neck, He called to his father at the barn, who came and saw what had happened, sent the boy back to bed and started onhorse- back for R. B. Twogood's, a mile north. Just as he Jeft the yard he met Heath and told him what had happened and told him to stay until he came back. The coroner was sent for, who came and em- pannelled a jury, which found that the deceased came to death by her own hand. The weapon used was a large sized butcher kuife. Both jugular veins and the windpipe were severed, so that death was undoubtedly almost instantaneous, The stains of blood were yet visible upon the kitchen floor, where it had run across the floor and formed pools at the farther side. She had evidently seized the knife and cut her throat as soon as her husband left, for a part of a cup of cuflee and a pieco of cake was l¢ft. The chair upon which she had been sitting was over- turned as she fell to the floor. Her face was somewhat discolored, the fingers grasped tight, and o rmined look still was seen in her features. It was told the writer that since they had decided to separate, she had corres “| ponded with an old lover who lives in Nebraska and who visited her not long since. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. N. Sinnet. The funeral pro- cession numbered upwards of sixty teams, and brought far more people to the school-house than could gain admittance. According to a custom, the weapon with which the unfortunate woman ended her existence was buried with her. It is said to have been a most sickening sight to see the woman lying upon her face, 80 near the kitchen door that 1t could be but partially opened, while across the room ran her life's blood and formed in pools at the further side. Pab- lic opinion in the neighbourhood exon- orates the husband from all blame and gives to the wife credit for many, very many lovable traits and goodly graces. “There was no better woman in the county,” satd one of her neighbors be- tween #obs, *‘except when her temper got the better of her, and then sho had no eontrol of herself.” A deep grief a deep mystery ever dwells around such graves, —— THE NEW B OOK! “Our Famous Women," This superbly illustrated and firet- class new book gives a full and authentic history of the lives and deeds of the most famous Awmerican of our times, written expressly for it by twenty of the most distinguished authors of the present day 1t is & complete portrayal of the lives and and thrilling experiences of Ameri- can women who have won thefr way to fame and glory, in the face of tremend- 'mnu ! ous obstacles, They (P Most of them began life poot and unknown, earned their own liv- ing, fought their single-handed agalvat opposition and persecution, braved dang- ors and often risked their lives for duty and humanity, suffered loss of friends, standing and money,—yet in spite of everything steadily rose to high position and world-wide glory until they have be. come the most famous women of our times. How did they do it! What is the secret of their successi What are the lights and shadows of their lives! What in tho story beneath the glory? 1t is the object of this book to give this informa tion. It aims to tell the true story of thirty famous women, whose names are housheld words, but whose history has never been published. 1t tells tho story of each from facts and materials supplied by these themselves, thus making 1t at once & work of thrilling interest and au thority for all time. The work has been in course of pre- paration for the past five years, and, as already stated, is the joint production of twenty of the most distinguithed writers of our day, who have given their best efforts to its completion. The names of the writers are: Elizaboth Stuart Phelps Harriet Beecher Stowe, Rose Terry Cooke, Harriet Proscott Spofford, Mury Clemmor, Marion Harland, Mary A. Livermore, Louise Chandler Moulton, Lucy Larcom, Kate Sanborn, Lucia Gil- bert Runkle, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan Coolidge, Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney, Julia Ward Howe, Laura Curtis Bullard, Lilian Whiting, Elizabeth T. Spring, and Maud Howe. This is a grand list. The combination of the talent and labors of twenty such eminent writers—queens of living American authors—is a sufficient guarentee of the great excellence of this book. It contains what cannot be found in any other volume in the world, vi the finest thoughts and most brilliant of- fort of twenty of our greatest living authors, all concentrated into one single volume. 1Itis, in fact, thirty complete books in one and at the prico of one. Of the many portraits and fine engrav- ings which adorn it too much cannot be said in praise. It issold only by sub- scription, and is meoting with an enor- mous sale. We do not begrudge success to book agents who introduce a work of such sterling merit as this. We believe that tho best way to keep out poor books is to introduce good ones, and a better book than **Our Famous Women” has not been offored to our citizens in a long time, We adviso our readers to buy “Our Famous Wemen” at the first opportunity. Put it into your homes, You can, in our opinion, much better afford to dispense with a dozen other books than not pos- sess this thoroughly first-class one, e ——— MILES UNU i ITHE SEA, Fishes Thav Carry Lanterns and Light Up the Ocean, Many curious forms of fishes have beon found in the deepsea. Oue fish, dredged from a depth of nearly three miles from the surface, shows a complete modifica- tion of structure. At this distance from the surface the pressuro can hardly bo realized, Itis estimated that this fish has to contend against a pressure equal to two and a half tons to every square inch of surface. A sealed glass tube, in- closed in a perforated copper covering, has at two miles been reduced to fine powder, while the metal was twisted out of shape. Yet the fishes are construoted that they withstand the pressure. Their bony and musculur systems are not full developed; the bones are permeated with pores and fissures. The calcareous mat- ter is at a minimum, and the bones of the vertebrw are joined together so loosely that in lifting the larger fishes out of the water they often fall apart. The muscles are all thin, and the connective tissue seems almost wanting. Yet theso fishes are able to dart about and capture the Toy. S’l’mlight enetrates only about 1,200 feet below the surface of the sea. At 3,000 feet the temperature lowers to 40 deg. Fahr., and from about a mile from the surface to the bottom, four or five miles, the temperature is about the same the world over—just above freezing. How do the fishes and other forms that live here see? Their eyes are modified as well as their other parts. Tho fishes that live H00 feet from the surface have larger eyes than those in the zone above them, so that they can absorb the faint rays that reach them. In a zone below this many forms with small eyes begin to have curious tentacles, feelers, or crgans of touch. Many of these deep sea fish have special organs upon the head and sides that are known to possess a luminous quality. Other organs are considered accessory eyes, 8o that the fishes have rows of eyes upon their ventral surfaces looking downward, while near are lumin ous spote that provide them with light. One of the largest of these deep sea torch- bearers is a fish six feet long, with a tall dorsal fin extending nearly the entire length of the body. = The tips of this fin are luminous and also a broad patch upon its head. Along the sides of the body is a double row of luminous spote, One of the most ferocious of these deepsen forms is the chanliodus. Its mouth is fairly overflowing with teeth that protrude in a mogt forbiading manner. The fins are all tipped with flaming spots, while along the dorsal surface extenas a row of spots that appear like 50 many shining win- dows 1n the fish, through which light is shining. The little fishes called Bombay ducks are luminous over their entire surface, and when numbers are collected together hey present an astonishing spectacle One of the most interesting of these light givers is the Chiasmodus, a fish that at- tains the length of only thirteen inches. The top of its head is the principal light- giving organ, and its fins gleam with phosphorescent light. It is not alone re- markableas a light giver. It has a jaw s0 arranged that it can seize fish twice ite size and easily swallow them. Its stom- ach has the elastic quality of India rub- ber. It stretches to enormous propor- tions, and appears like a great transparent balloon hanging under the fish and con- taining its prey. The last expedition sent out by France hrousht to light some remarkable forms, The dredge off Morocco brought up from a depth of one and a half miles a fish that i |appeared to bo all hesd or mouth. It was of emall size, and the length of the mouth was about four - fifths of the entire body; so that, if the body had been severed behind the head, it and two or three like it could have been stowed away in its capacious pouch, It probably moves very slowly, scooping mud and 00z@ into its mouth, sifting our the ani- wal parts andrejecting the rest. — ARE YOU GOING TO EUKOPE? 1u another column will be found the au nouncement of Messrs, THOS, GOOK & SON ‘Lourist Agents, 201 Broadway, New York, relative to the very complete srrangements they have made for tours In Furoys the coming Spring and Summer, *Cook’s Excur- slonist,” ning maps and full particatars will b mailed to any address on receipt of 1 PANIC IN THE OLDEN TIMES, —— A Forgotten Box that Sayed the Bank of England M Years Ago. Thero was a great pienic in the Bank of England in December, 1825, cav by the redemption of interest on £21 000,000 of stock held by the public. The Bank of BEogland was acting as banker for the nation and offered to advance money to the holders of stock to pay oft their principal investment, This was an era of speculation, and no less than £372,000,000 or over £1,800,000, was invested in all kinds of *‘bogus” stock projects, In some of theso schomes shares of £100, on which only £5 had been paid, rose to a premium of £40 yielding aprofit of eight times the amount of money paid, Gverything went as werry as & marriago bell for a time, and largo sums had been withdrawn from the Bank of England, reducing the gold in its vaults from £8,760,000 in October, ‘‘and you ean have one for good measure, 1 bet you I shoot two, But the little pop- gun of yours—"" Bob's scorn of the “littlo pop-gun” would not permit him to finish the sen. tence, and he limped along with his nose in the air, while the smaller lad proceed ed to extract the “‘popgun’ from its hiding place, which was similiar to that of his companion's weapons—namely, the log of his breeches, It proved to bo a handsome and highly-polished Flobart, of course not 8o heavy and bulky as tho Ballard, but none the less quite large enough to kill the usual small game of this nefghborhood - rabbita squitrels and birds, The line of march led up the avenus as far as the canal, where it branched to the leftand followed the stream to one of the ponds or basins, which are to be found on the borders of Clifton, and whichfed by the waters of the canal- from the source which comes tho groater art of Cincinnatti's oo supply. As every Cincinnattian knows there was but littlo water in the canalduring May fostival 1824, to £3,024,5320 in February, 18; Tho panic began on the Hth of Docom. ber, 1826, when a London bank failed, at which the agency of over forty country banks was transacted, and such a reac- tion was the nocessary result of the pre- vious madness of speculation. Lombard stroot and the vicinity of the bank were filled with excited meua and women, somo frightened out of their wite, others raving like maniacs, Tho scenes in Now York's financial center tho past week wore of asimilarnature. The thousands of excited people were waiting eagorly to withdraw their investments. Next day several other bauks failed. Tho rush on the bank of England was terrific, but the clork kept paying away the gold in bags confaming 25 sovereigna each. From 9 o’clock a. m. until b o'clock p. m. ench day twonty-five clerks wero on- gaged counting out gold, and as it would take that number of clerks to count out £50,000 in sovercigns, if counted by hand, a plan was adopted by which the tellers counted twenty-five sovereigns into one scale and twenty-five in another, and if the scales balanced they con- tinued until there were 200 sovereigns in each scace, In this way £1,000 were paid out in » fow minutes, the welght of 1,000 sovereigns being twenty-five pounds, while 512 bank notes only woigh one pound. In this way £317,000 was paid out in nine hours to clamerous depositors. Instead of contracting their Issucs the directors of the bank boldly extended them. In one day they discounted 4,200 bills, December 8 thediscounts at the bank amounted to £7,600,000; on the 16th they were £11,600,C00, and on the 20th, £13,000,000; December 3 the circu- lation of the bank was £17,000,000, and on the day before Christmas, Decembor 24, it was £25,500,000—or ths enormous sum of §127,600,000. Any kind of paper that was not absolutely worthless was discounted. Tremendous advances on deposits of bills of exchange were made by the bank, stock was entered as securi- ty, and exchequer bills wero pur- chased. The gallant old institution weathered the storm, and on the 26th of December gold began to como in _slowly. During the latter part of the panic weok, a forgotton box of £1 notes containing $700,000, was discovered, and these wero immediately issued, and the directors ac- knowledged that the forgotten box saved the commercial credit of the Bank of En- gland, There was only £701,000 in bul- lion, and £426,000 in coin, when the great rush stopped. In February, 1797, when the bank suspended cash payments, there were £1,080,170 in coin and bullion remaining in the vaults, No More Free Puffs, The Charlston Herald has established the following rates for puffs: To call a man a *‘progressive citizen” when you know that he is lazier than a government mule, $1.70. Referring to a deceased citizen as ‘‘a man whose place will long remain to be filled,” when you know that he was one of the best poker players in town, $2.17. Calling a femalo*‘a talented and refined young lady,” a ‘‘a valuable acquisition to society, with variations, $2.75. Calling a man a liar during a_campaign to advertise him, 2 cents, with propor tionate reduction if the fight becomes too warm, Referring to an old citizen as a *‘relic of antiquity,” 65 cents. Calling a new lawyer **a legal light of which the profession should feel proud,” $1.26, Ex‘ra rates will be charged when the porty is well known, as it takes more to counteract the influence a long residence is supposed to exert.

The pond itself was not more than three feet deep in the deepost parts and in consequence the tails and dorsel fins of many of tho largor fish very often cut through the surfaco and stood out liko the backs of diminutive sharks or dolphins, The banks of the basin slope gradually and, where the water had roceded, wore covered with a slimy, black mud. It was notat all an uncommon sight to sen A big twenty or thirty pound fish forge through the wator at the rate of forty miles an hour—his high dorsal fin cut- ting through the surface, loaving a wake of bubbles behind him—and run full out of tho water into tho slimy ooze, which was but a shade darker than the water itself. When this occurred the fish be- came a porfect mud battery, In his ef- forts of turning and gotting back into his olemont, his tail would slap the soft mud with cruel force, making a report that that bo heard for several rods, an? sond- ing mud flying in all directions. Birds of all colors and voico were in brush and trees surrounding the basin many of them foreign birds imported by Mr, Prgbasco and otners for the purposo of bonutifying the villago. A bright blue kingtisher sat on a projecting limb of & maplo tree, stpring fixedly at the VALRE BUIBY R RE upon the approach- ing of the boys, a large gray crane lifted itself out of the pond and flow away, ita long legs dangling and its wings flapping like the sails of & wind mill, But the boys were not after birds. Thoy kept their eyes and their minds down to the fish in the water, and while they wore unlimbering thelr guns and pushing homo the little twenty-two and thirty-two calibro cartridges which formed a chargo, they talked about what they would do and would not do in case they shot a hundred pounder. ““When you seo a butfulo or a big cat on top of the water,you shoot,” said Bob. “We don't want no little fish, and we won't shoot at chubs nor suntish nor lit- tlo cats. You shoot first, because it will take two shots to kill those fellows, and after gotting ono doso they are bound to dive; my charge is heavy enough to kill under water, and I will let them have a second pill after they are down.

Probably thero has never beforo been such a colloction of largo fish in a fow equsre rods of shallow water as was in that basin Some few of them wore black catfish, as large as the bronzo dolphins on the Fifth stroot fountain; but the great bulk of the splashing crowd was made up of light- colored fish, with large scales, a_project- ing sucker mouth, high dorsal fins, run- ning almost back to the tail, and a body hunched about the shoulders, much like the hump of a bison or buffalo. This cu- rious conformation of body gives the fish its common name— bufialo . Like the catfish it often reaches a weight of from 80 to 109 pounds, and its flesh is of sufficlent demand for food as to be sold in the markets. *‘Pop” went the Flobert, making a re- port not louder than that made by an ex- ploding paper cap, but a commotion in the water at the edge of the pond told that the bullet had reached its mark. No fish was visible, but the water was churned into a perfect foam, drops occa- sionally fiymg ten feet inwo tho air. “He's hit hard,” ho a big one?” “Well, I should smile. Don't you shoot, now. I[want to kill that fellow all by myself,” Bat Bobdid not care to tako any chancer, and, running his eyo along the polished barrel, he fired into the centre The shot was red from every v the neighborhood, ond operated on the disturbed water like oil. The lashingand bubbling censed and the surface at the spot where the bullet had entered became like glags, Then the boys sat down and waited, We are waiting to see if the buffalo is killed,” explained Bob, five minu ter, after the writer had introduced him- cried Bob. “‘Was Within Gu )L of the City, and Comparatively Un. molisted. From the Cincinnati Tuquirer, A couplo of half-grown boys, well dressod and apparently of good families, were dodging from tree to tree in_Spriug Grove avenue, in the vieinily of the cem otary, abour. 3 o'clock obe sfternoon dur ing May festival week. Their evident desire to reach some point up the avenu d without being seen brought down on them the attention of & party cf sight- seers emerging from the cemetery gate. The boys walked with a curious stifi“leg- ged shufile, amounting almost to & defor- mity; but the csuse was not discovered until they turned into Orescent avenue, which debouches into the road a short distance above. At thatpoint, imaging the danger detection past, one of them grew careless and alowed a puff of wind to displace his coat far enough to show the polished butt of a Ballard rifle, which was thrust, mozzle down, in the right leg of his trousers, the stock ranging well up under his coat, The bo, eer galt and actions had made them merely objocts of a languid sort of interest befor. the last discovery, but upon catching sight of the rifle The Enquirer man immediately declded that he had business of importance on Cres venue which required that tho should be kept in sight, whilo imagivdag themselves alone, To this eud a third dodger-behind-trees was added to the group. The retired nature of the avenue, however, had glven the boys more courage, and after the bridge was passed they ceased dodging and walked in a straight line, still keeping to the side of the road whcre shelter could be quickly found if needed, “I bet you a dollar,” said the smaller boy, ““that you don’t shoot a one, Bob." “I'll take you," rejoined Bob at once, self aud assured the boys that ho was guiltlens of any police authority. *You soe, when they are dead they como to the top of the water, and in the course of time float ashore. We have to wait until they float in because the mud on the bot- tom of the basin is 8o deep that we can not wade in it. Oh, yes, it iv a common thing for us to shoot tish here, whether tho canal in empty or not. In the spring the fish always come into the basin to spawn, and they seem to be lazy and to like to float near the top of the water at such times: but, of course, just now they are much more plonty than ‘when the ca- nal is full, in consequence thero is much more sport.
