A wonderful, marvelous poem,
Of birds and tho murmuring brook,
Tba Auger of Ntituro to-day
Has penned iu her beautiful book.
The breeze* swept dow#from the mountain
And rustled its leaves into song
And each honr w«6 a verso, «a th« poem
AB the be»»tifnl day was as long.
Oh. rare are tho thoughts' scintillations
The exquiftito book doth enfold.
Which is oUaped with the sunshine
of heavon,
And bound in the skies' bine and gold 1
The cover is daintily studded
With stars, which the Mght-limq ha* brought
From the courts of the angels, to scatter
Their rays on this jewel of thought.
Iu rapture I read from its pages.
Far out in tho depths of tho nlglit,
And think of the poeiu unwritten
Which the pen of the morrow abnll write
Then to sleep and.n blissful awaking.
To meet the glad kiss of the sun,
And rend from the beautiful pages
The song which the dny has begun!

SHIRTS AND THE LITTLE HEATHEN.
A Melancholy Mistake.
BT JOHN QU1LI,.
"Bat they must hnro clothes, Mr. Wil
kins."
"No they mustn't. It's ridiculous non
sense for any collection of old women like
your sewing Bociety to start oat a lot of
duds and things to the heathen in Africa.
It is confounded stupid. I Hny. What do
you mippose a lot of old coftec-colorcd pa
gans, steeped in ignorance and vice, want
with shirts? Hey? Why they don. want
'era. They were born without 'jeja
weren't they? And if it was right for them
to have clothes don't you snpposo they
would have had 'em Do'nt yon suppose
benitioient nature knows better than you
nud all the other heifers down at the sew
ing bee Why, it absolutely redid
'Wilkins you shan't talk that way
about——
"It's perfectly ridiculous. But do you
go on you go on and send them over there
to Africa, and do you know what will hap
pen? Do you know what will be tho re
sult of your tom-foqlery! Why tho very
first thing you know .some benighted heath
en or other will go and mount one of those
shirts some night, and paddle around in
the dark and scare the other heathen and
make them believe in ghosts and set the
whole continent of Africa to falling down
and sacrificing themslves to 'a lot of old
nine headed idols, and jabbering away at
their pagan prayess. You've got sin enough
on your soul old woman, without that I
want yon to understand."
"Mr. Wilkins, you are too contemptible
to notioe."
"Yes, and I'd just like to know what an
ignorant heathen knows about shirts any
how!"
"Why, absolutely nothing, and very like
ly the first fellow that tries to get into one
will get it on upside down, and mix his
legs all up in tfie sleeves, nud get himself
into a tangle aud trip up. and fall over
some precipice or other, and then there
will be the responsibility for a mangled,
man added to your list of crimes, But I'd
like you to bear in mind that you don't
send any of my wardrobe-out there. I don't
want a parcel of Ethiops sporting around
on Afrio's suhny shore in my linen, Not
exactly. I like to see men enjoy themselves
but not in that indecent style."
'But, Mr. W ilkins
•'Pretty spectacle it will be now, wont
it! Forty six little Africans dressed in a
simple but chaste garb of white shirts sit
ting along a bench in. Sunday School wrig
gling their toes, or else enjoying themselves
at recess singing 'ham fat' and doing the
'walk around.' That a pretty way to civil
ize a heathen land, ain't it? For they
won't wear any pants you observe. If you
go a shipping a lot of pants over there the,
first thing you know they will have them
tacked on to some idol or other or rammed
full of feather, and holding religious ser
vice before each pant and as for socks,
why every sock as has ever- been Bent over
there has been stuffed with sand, and used
as a war olub. That's so, and I've no
doubt that very identical pair you'r knit
ting on now will brain a stray pagan some
day or other in some muss."
"Mr. Wilkins ^oa know thatVnot-so."
"If you want to do youreolored friends
a service, why don't you go to work and
ship them a lot ot the delicacies of the sea
son? Why don't you ship a shipload of,
canned misslonairies, or something else
that will make their mouths \&ter? Gr you
might collect an assortment of second-hand
jaw bones, aud give them to them for neck
laces or send out yohr own false teeth,
or
"Wilkins! I'll scratch
"Or go yourself and see how it feels to
be eaten. I won't stop yon. You've got
my permission, you understand. But I
pity the poor pagan that stuffs himself with
you. You wont agree with him. You
never did with me, my love.
"Mr. Wilkins, you'are a brute."
"Bnt fur my part I think you had better
stay at home and attend to your children,
instead of fooling down there at that society
with a lot of tabbieB, who slander their
neighbors, and make more mischief than
they do underclothes for the naked Hotten
tots."
"Mr. Wilkins, that's not so."
"You'd better stay at home and sew for.
yonr fa'mily, that's what you had betteirdo.
There's William Henry going round for
six weeks or more with only one gallus on
his pants, and looking as if he was a de
formed cripple with only one shoulder a
foot higher than the other, while his stock
ings have no feet, and the upper part of
them keep working up his leg until the boy
nearly goes mad."
"What an awful story, Wilkins."
"And Bucephalus Alexander's best (Sun
day jacket has burst out all over in spots,
andBreckenridgeAugustus, having runout
of handkercheifs has lately been practising
wiping bis nose on his sleeve in church,
I was so mortified that I had to take him
out last Sunday and have him stood in the
coal-hole and spanked like the nation by
the sexton. Unaffected simplicity is all well
enough in its way, but that's carrying it a
little to far."
"Mr. Wilkins, you know that's not true."
"And, as for Mary Jane, she just is going
straight to destruction. She's got to imita
ting your example, and now she thinks it
aint worth while to live if you can't do
something for the heathen. So what did
she do yesterday but go and give my best
high hat to the boy who swept the chimney
and it came newly down to nis waist, and
asked him if hellad ever read Dr. McPher
son's treatise on the "Whole Duty of Man,"
and he observed that he "didn't know nuf
fin about dat dar, he reckon," and while
she went up stairs to get it for him he em
bezzled two chunks of corned beef and a
cold potatoe, and the first thing you know
he will be in the penitentiary, and all along
of your blamed foolishment."
"I declare Mr. Wilkins you are ascandu
IOUB story teller."
"And there's the boys, it waB only last
Saturday that they took their crowd up
stairs and played the garret was Africa, and
half of them represented heathen, and ran
around without a stitch of clotbes on Uitu,
and Bucephalus Alexander he distributed
my clean shirts among them, and they up
set all the barrels, fired away my old books
in a. skirmish with the savages, and one of
them that was the cannibal, like to gnawed
the whole thumb off William Henry, trying
to swallow him because he said he was a
missionary and it ain't well yet."
"Pshaw, Mr. Wilkins, you talk like a—"
"And then what must Mary Jane do, but
to represent a heathen mother wholly un
enlightened by Christianity trying to drown
her infant in the Bacred river which was
represented by sousing the cat in the bath
tub, but that animal wouldn't play fair, and
liked to scratch the whole hide off of her,
while she let the water run until the loom
was full, and it poured like a perfect cas
cade out of the window, which she said
would represent the overflowing of the Nile,
like she read in-her Sunday school lesson.
I say it's perfectly outrageous to bring up
your children in that kind of style, If you
love the heathen, why go among them, but
don't go poisoning the minds of your inno
nocent offspring,'
"As long as you've made such a fuss
about the sewing-circle, Mr. Wilkin's I'll
tell you what I have been making there."
"You needn't mind, I don't want to hear
it. I'm tired of hearing you talk. Just
give me a chance to speak a word now, will
you
"But
"O don't 'but' me: I won't listen to you."
"I wasn't sewing for the heathen."
"What?"
',1 didn't stick a stitch for the heathen
at the sewing-circle."
"Well, what in the mischief were you
fooling your time away down there for,
then?"
"Why—I—was—making—you-.a—dozen
new—shirts— while— you—were— abusing
me—you'll break my heart—yes, you
will."
"There now don't cry, my darling. Don't
cry. I was only in fun I was only joking,
you understand. I didn't mean it. There
now. Don't cry, I say, Sally, Well, bel
low. You may cry till you are tired. I
never did see such a women as yon."
And Mr. Wilkins took a pull at tho cov
ers, turned over, and went to sleep. But
he seemed to be reconciled to her next day
for he called her hard names because Bhe
left the baby covered up on the sofa, BO
that he inadvertently Bat down upon it.
A STRANGE 1MF0STER.
til# Stofjr of a London Baker and bis
Lodger.
To the Editors of the Evening Post:
Out
my arrival iu London I took 1
in Half-Moon street, Piccadilly,
prietor of the hOuso was a baker,
do in tho world, uud, like many of his
countrymen, an intense admirer of' every
thing that pertained to rank or nobility.
He was a fat, jovial fellow, and often invit
ed me to the parlor to have a talk over a
pot of "'alf-and-alf," observing with much
Ead
ride that nobletiien and gentlemen who
been his lodgers had often honored
him with asocial chat, over that beverage.
One evening, while he was entertaining
me with anecdotes ot a certain lord, a re
spectable-looking nan called and engaged
rooms on the ground floor, which were
then vacant. The stranger, seeming satis
fied with the price, said that as he had just
come up from Banbury ho should occupy
tho room that same evening.
"Banbury, Banbury," said the baker
"why, that s.my native place."
"Indeed,'' said his lodger in surprise
"then I suppobe you have heard of Mr.
Wickham?"
"Although I have no personal recollec
tion of the gentleman," replied tho baker
"I, know his family as well as I know my
fingers and thumbs. Why, sir, he is the
richest commoner in the country. It must
be now fifteen years since I lived at Ban
bury, and I am somewhat in ignorance
about affairs down there, but if you area
friend of Mr. Wiokham, you're as welcome
to my house as flowers in„ May or .coals at
Christmas."
If an angel' had suddenly descended
thiou^h the ceiling with a clap of thunder,
no deeper impression could have been pro
duced upon the baker than ho evinced
when the person he accosted informed him
that he was the veritable Mr. Wickham
himself. The baker seemed overwhelmed
witli obsequiousness and respect, and rush
ed out of the room to call up all his family,
for Mr. Wickham to see tliem. After giv
ing a detailed account of the manner in
which "he first met his wife, and the respec
tive ages of the children, he insisted on all
drinking to the health of his guest He
did not for a moment doubt his havingMr.
Wickham for bis lodger yet he could not
help wondering that neither footman nor
portmanteau appeared. The next morn
ing he made bold to ask how a gentleman
of his estate came to be unattended.
"Hush," exclaimed Wickham, holding
up his hand in a posture of admonition
"my servants are not in the way at pres
ent, as I don't want my arrival to be known.
I am going to arrest a merchant who owes
me three thousand pounds. If he should
know of my presence in town lny purpose
would bo defeated so keep quiet, and
don't mention my name, whatever you do.
You shall know all in good time.,'
That night a servant came, and Mr.
Wiekhaav fell-into a great rage at him for
allowing the porter to put hiB trunks on
the wrong train.
"This, sir, will cost me a delay of three
days," shouted the irate Wickham, so that
everybody in the house might hear. "Have
you telegraphed to warn them of the mis
take?"
"Jeames has just been to the hoffice,
sir," replied the valet, with submissive
deference "and he«ayi the baggage will
be hero the day after to-morrow.
"And what in the name of Heaven am I
to do in the meantime resumed the be
wildered Wickham. "My friend, Lord
Grosvenor, and others, araout of town,and
here I am, owing to your stupidity, with
out money or clothes, and cannot attend to
my business. You had better send James
at once to Banbury to bring me some linen,
and tell him to get fifty pounds from my
Secretary."
When the servant had taken his depart
ure, the baker ran to his drawers, ana lay
ing hands on the best linen lie had, car
ried it to Mr. Wickham, and begged the
honor of hia wearing it He also.laid fifty
pounds on the table, add expressed a hope
that his guest would not take it amiss if
he offered these slight tokens of his respeot
and regard. Wickham at first refused, but
was not proof against the pressing solici
tations or the obsequious baker. Three
days after the footman appeared in gor
geous livery, with the missing trunks and
the baker more satisfied than ever that he
had to do with Mr. Wickham, one of the
richest and noblest of gentlemen in the
kingdom, made it more and more his busi
ness to give fresh marks of his respect and
attachment In short Mr. Wioknam did
the baker the honor of accepting from him
three hundred and sixty guineas, for all of
which he gave hia note.
About six weeks after the opening of
this adventure, the affable and condescend
ing Wickham, while enjoying himself at a
tavern, was seized with a violent head
ache, accompanied bv a burning fever.—
As soon as he found himself ill, he went
home to his lodgings, where he was
waited upon by one of his footmen, and
assisted in everything by the good baker,
who advanced all money that was wanted,*
and passed his word to the doctor,
apothecaries and everybody else.—
Meanwhile the patient grew worse and
worse, and on the fifth day was given
over. The baker, grieved to the heart
at the condition of his illustrious friend,
felt bound to tell him, though with: much
reluctance, what the doctors thought
of his condition. Wickham received the
news calmly, and with all the. resignation
of a true Christian fully prepared for death.
He desired a minister to be sent for, and
received the communion the1 same days.
The next morning, distemper and dan-
gamincreatjingbakerthe
or to an alarming height, Wick
told the that it was hot: enough
to have taken care of his soul he ought
also to set his worldly afihirs in order, and
desired that he Otould make hi* will. A
scrivener therefore was immediately sent
for, and the,, will was made and
signed in pioper form bef6re' sever
al witnesses. Wickham, by this will
bequeathed all his estate, real and per
sonal, jewels, coaches, teams, race-horses,
Eouse
acks of hounds, ready money, &c., and a
with all the appurtenances and .de
pendencies, to tho baker. Never was any
thing more noble or generous. This done,
Wickham called the baker to him, loaded
him and his family with benedictions, and
told him that immediatelyafter his decease
he had nothing to do bnt to go to his law
yer, who would give him fttfl instructions
how to proceed. Soon after he fell into
convulsions and died.
The baker first applied himSelf Entirely
to carrying out the provisions of the will,
omitting nothing that was ordered to be
done. The body "was not to be interred
until the fourth day after death, and all
was ready by the seeond. The baker had
now time to look for the lawyer before he
laid his benefactor in the ground. Having
put the body into a rich coffin, covered
with velvet, and plates of silver, and made
all the other arrangements, he began to
consider that it would not be improper to
reimburse himself as soon as possible, and
to claim possession of his new estate. He
therefore went and communicated the
whole affair to his lawyer. This gentle,
man, being of a shrewd and suspicious
turn, expressed much astonishment at the
manner in which his client had come
into so large an estat -, and immediately
instituted an inquiry. He requested the
baker tu uitU tKo acai movMagi wltoai
would be enabled to advise mm on the
subject. We may easily imagine the. dis
appointment of the baker when at the hour
appointed the lawyer informed him that
according to a telegram received the even
ing before from Banbury, the true Mr.
Wickham was in perfect health. The film
fell from the poor baker's eyes and he at
once saw that hehad been badly ''bitten"
by a villian and a hypocrite. Upon this he
immediately returned bome ana took the
rogue's body out of the rich coffin, which
he sold for a third part of the original cost.
The tradespeople who had been employed
in preparations for the funeral had compas
sion on the baker and took their things
again, though not without some loss to him.
They dug a hole in tho corner of St. Cle
ment's churchyard, where they threw in
the tody with as little ceremony as possi
ble. c. M. o.
A Tubular Railway between England
and France.
Tho newest of the new planB for connect
ing England with France by railway, is
that of a submerged iron tube, to be sup
ported at a depth of about SO feet below the
surface of the water by iron trestles, the
feet of which will rest upon the bed of the
straits. The tube is to be in its outside
diameter 22 feet 6 inches, and with a view
of giving it sufficient strength it is to be of
oast iron, 8 inches in thieknesB. Its length
between each pair of legs or supports is to
be 300 ft, and the weight of each of these
sections 3000 tons. Each of these lengths
is to be made up of 8 sogments of 37 feet 6
inches, and these are to be firmly bolted
together by means of steel bolts passing
through internal flanges. Each segment
.ter-tight by a bulkhead,
and will be lowered until it is brought into
exact position with the portion previously
fixed, and when made fast by the bolts the
near bulkhead will be removed, and the
workmen will pass on the next segment
The ventilation of the tube is tone pro
vided by stationary steam power at one of
the entrances to the tube, which will force
a sufficiency of air through a channel con
structed along the inner roof of the tube to
a point about midway of its entire length,
where it will be discharged and force itself
to either end.

BUTTER MAKERS OF ST. ALBANS.
Scenes In a Vermont Town.
The thriving town of St Albans, in Ver
,. ^nont, haabocoma, tho -great gutter-market
of tho United States—rnpre thin forty-one
million poundsof butter having hc^n ship
ped in eighteen years. An inteei^ng
sketch of wis tilde id given by a correal
dent of the Boston Journal, as fellows:
^Tuesday is the regular butter-da'
Srive
av.
adin
Th^e- larmers from all tho surrounding
towns come in with their two-horse teams
aud market wagons with, the last week's
churnings, in ashen tubs. The wide streets
are alive. Over four hundred wagons are
gathered ronud the square, and tho farm
ers, with their wives and daughters, are
bargaining off the products of their dai
ries, or making purchases at the stores.
"It is interesting to watch the farmers
making their bargaius with the traders. It
is diamond against diamond. Shrewdness
is an inherited trait of tho Vcrmonters.—
Men who get up at 3 o'clock iu tho morn
ing, who have their cows milked and in the
astures before the sun is np, and who
spanking teams ten miles to
market before 6 o'clock, are not likely to
to be over reached iu a bargain.
"These farmers in slonohed hats and
thick boots are lords of the soil. No peer
of England's realm*1—not theDuke of De
vonshire, with his deer parks at Chatts
worth, his long walks and avenues and
splendid palace is more independent than
these land-lords at St Albano. Far more
deserving of titles are they than many of
tho sprigs of aristocracy on tho other 6ide
of the Atlantic. If they were to elevate
ono of their number to a peerage of their
own, an appropriate title would bo Duko
of Buttcrland, and this rouud-faced woman
before me, whose hands have moulded the
yollow ball# in the ashen tub fit for an
honest man to spread on his bread, should
be Countess of Churn.
"These dairymen are our true aristoc
racy. 'They look the whole world in the
face, for they dwe not any man.'
"They are owners of the soil. It is their
business to turn the buttercups and dan
delions and succulent grasses into golden
butter. They are rich, they are intelligent
enough to comprehend what is going on In
the world. St. Albans butter-men are
shrewd enough to sell the products of their
dairies instead of holding lor higher prices
they don't get their fingers burnt after
the manner of the Minnesota wheat grow
ers.
"These men,' says a gentleman residing
here, 'are all holders of government
bonJs. They have money*in the banks.
They live well, and enjoy life.'
"We have not yet been able to under
stand why 8 Albans is able to make the
market for fine butter throughout the coun
try but so it is. It maybe interesting to
pour
readers to know how much is earned
by the churn and cheese
or nine towns which send their produce to
the churn and cheese prees in the eight

A Murderer Panned by bis Victim's
Ghost.
The New Orleans Picayune says: There
are few ceses of mania exhibiting such pe
culiar features as that of & Mr. Spencer,
living on Louisa street in this city. Some
years ago he engaged in a difficulty with a
man named hunt, whom he killed.- They
had been friends from their boyhood, and
up to the day of the fatal affray had never
felt for each other aught but friendship and
kftadness. It is said of them, too, that they
had shared many perils, and bonds of sym
pathy linked them by stronger ties than
usually cements ordinary friends. But a
trifling dispute occurred, and in a moment
of intemperate passion the fiktal thrust waa
pven, and 4iis old friend lay dead at his
eet. His horror at the homicide threw
him into a fever, of which he came near dy
ing. For months he hovered on the veigo
of the grave, and when he at last recovered
it was with the impression that the ghost
of his friend, clad in grave clothes, was ev
er at his side. His mind, rational upon
every other subject, clings to this delusion
and no persuasion or reason can' remove
the impression or cure him of the
mania. It goes with him to his business,
which he conducts with the same sagacity
and skill that Jie ever did. It tits with
him in his family circle ia'by his side in
the street, and lies down with him when
he goes to bed at night He often con
verses with it, and imagines that ho re
ceives replies to his questionings. Ho says
for years tho ghost maintained toward him
a stern aspect, refusing all conciliation,
but of late years it has assumed toward him
a more friendly demeanor. He believes it
will go with him through life, as a pen
ance for his crime. The law acquitted him,
but this is the judgment of Heaven.
The Home and jlrave of John C. Rives.
"Gath," the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Time*, writes as follows:
From Mr. Raymond, who was not con
tent to be a journalist, I might make a
study if you had the space, of another jour
nalist, whoso home I nave lately visited,
and who had carved upon his tomb, dnring
his life:
"HEBE LIES
"JOHN C. RIVES,
"The Foutlder of the Congressional Olobe."
The home of this remarkable man is four
miles from Washington City, on the bat
tle-ground oi Bladesburg. There he bought
a large farm and built himself a huge house,
surronndecKwith three stories of piazzas
and containing thirty-two rooms. Here
may be seen the rifle which killed Cilley, a
Derringer, now forty years old, four feet
and a half long, brass butted, Bomewhat
carved, and made in Philadelphia the
leather-covered chair ot Andrew Jackson
a mortgage, still bearing annual interest
upon the estate of the Hermitage and
portraits from life of Silas Wright and
many other statesmen of the post-Jackson
period. In the shady grounds of this
house, by the side of the rail to Baltimore,
is the grave of Mr. Rives, and in one end
of his vault are packed away the stereotype
Euried
lates of the Globe. He desired to be
by his work. The dwelling is now
inhabited by W. and F. Rives. Here,
in the period before the war gathered all
the leading statesmen of both parties and

Anothar and the Important Step to
warila making MIlwtllkM the Great
Point of the
ItMrom tbu Evening.
It has fok souie time foal uiiftlerBtood that
'measures were on foot ibr 'demonstrating
to the world that Milwaukee was the most
available point in the country for tho man
ufacture of iron. It is a gratification to be
able to say that "everything is well."
The Milwaukee Iron Company, the North
Chicago Boiling Mills Company and the
Wyandotte Rolling Mill# Company have
bought the entire property, real and per
sonal, of the Swedes Iron Company. This
includes nearly all of the iron ore lands in
Dodgo county, known as Iron Ridge, and
over ono thousand acres, a good ftirnaco in
blast and over one hundred acres of land
in the city of Milwaukee.. The amount of
ore in this purchase is hot less than thirty
millions of tons, and is more accessible
and cheaper to get out than any iron ore in
the world, so far as known. The impor
tance of this to our iron interests, and to
our city, cannot well be estimated, and we
are very much mistaken if this is not the
beginning of a very large iron interest here.
The iron made from this ore has proved it
self the best known for the manufacture of
rails, and by mixing it with Lake Superior
ore in the proper proportions, iron suitable
for any purpose can be made. When such
men AB Capt. E. B. WABD, of Detroit, ALEX.
MITCHEIX, and others associated with them,
are willing to take hold of this, we can be
sure it ha- merit.
It is the intention. of the Milwaukee
Iron Company to very materially increase
their works at Bay View as fast as possible.
They are now putting up and have well
under way one of the largest blast furnaces
in tho United States. It will be built un
der the superintendence of Mr. JOHN
PLAYEK, the builder of the famous Norton
furnaces in England, and it is to be 67 feet
high, 18 feet in the clear in the boshes, and
capable of making forty tons of pig iron
daily. The engines are well under way at
the works of Robinson, Rea & Co., Pitts
burg. Most of the other iron work is be
inj?^done by E. P. Aiai&& Co., in this city.
Company have also nnmenced the
action of a
feet, to contain sixteen 'new furnaceB.
this work will be pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible. Many parts of the
furnace, 6uch as gas flue, engine house,
smoke stack, Ac., Ac., will be built for two
furnaces, it being the intention of the
Company to build other furnaces as soon
as it can be doue.

rectors the capital Btock of the Company
was increased from $350,000 to $800,000,
and Capt. E. B. WABD was elected Presi

It will be seen at a glance that this means
business for Milwaukee. It means that
Milwaukee will, within a short time, be
come the leading iron manufacturing point
of the United States, outside of Pittsburg,
and we are ambitious enough to expect
soon to rival her.
The iron can be brought from Iron
Bidge to this city at a mere trifle in com
parison with what it costs at Pittsburg,
and every dollar's worth of iron made is in
market here. The Wyandotte
Co. will put up
a blast furnace, for they can save money by
so doing, and as pig iron is the basis for
all iron work, ana pig iron can be made
at Milwaukee much cheaper than it can at
any other place in the country, is it not
reasonable to suppose that iron works of
every description mil spring up rapidly.
Indeed, negotiations'are now pending that
will result in the expenditure of many hun
dred thousand dollars in machinery and
works in this city during the coming year.
Capt. E. B. WABD is interested the
three mills mentioned above as having
purchased the great bed of ore, and he
is so well satisfied of the great inducements
which Milwaukee presents as a manufac
turing point, and so well assured of the
great works which will be built up here
that he at once consented to take the
Presidency of the Milwaukee Iron Com
jpany.
Every citizen of Milwaukee has reason
to feel proud of the prospects before her.
PATENT BUTTER.
Aaotkn InvMtiM far Swindling the
Farmer.
The last dodge of the scoundrels who
plunder farmers ia thus commented on by
the Journal of Chemistry. We do not see
how papers like the New England Farmer
can reconcile the publication of advertise
ments from these scamps with their duty to
the farming community, upon which they
rely for support And yet we find this very
swindle circulated, without warning in the
Farmer's advertising colunms. The Jour
nal of Chemistry says:
"The need of diffusion of more practical
scientific information among all classes is
clearly shown in the readiness with which
people become victims to some ot the most
absurd tricks and schemes which the fer
tile brains of cunning men can invent—
The most recent- of these tricks surpasses
in audacity all others which we have heard
of. A intent butter company have open
ed offices in this and in other cities, to
show people how to make a pound of good
butter out'of a pint of
milk and to sell them
rights to make, and also a little White pow
der, which is the agent used to perform
the magic work. At the office of the
company they do not ask the eager pur
chaser to believe their statements but they
churn the butter before his eyes. A pint
of milk, with half a pound of good butter
is put into a little tin churn, with a spoon
ful of the powder the whole is warmed,
and then five minutes' churning brings out
one and a half pounds of goodbutter! Here
is demonstration! What can be more con
vincing? No one suggests to the enter
prising company that nearly nine-tenths of
the milk used is water, and, if they per
form what they allege, they are changing
water into butter. This would, indeed, be
a miracle equal to that of our Saviour, who
changea watcr'into wine. We have been
asked many times by intelligent gentlemen
how this thing can be explained. Very
easily. By the process, ,the whole of the

by which.feutter and lard are greatly adul

contain^jftom 25 to 40 per cent of water.

within the^ past year or two to combine

use of alkaline carbonates partlysaponify

Matrimonial Advertisements.
The evil consequences of these im
moral .advertisements is amply illustrated
by an incident which lately came to our
knowledge. A widow who had, by hard la
bo^as atugse, accumulated a little money
thought siwfwouitt lUe ^to fero'a'hns^and
to look after: her interests. She inserted
an advertisement something like the fol
lowing:
A'widoWrnot unprepossessing, aged about
85, wishes correspondence with a view to
marriage. Send photograph, and Address
Mrs. Mary 0——[Box
In a few days this waa answered. She
selected ohe whose photograph pleased her,
and an interview was had, and with a most
singular lack of judgment, she married the
adventurer—fbritrneed not be told he was
nothing else—in three weeks from the date
of the first interview. The result waa sad
in the extreme. After living with her a few
weeks, he decamped, taking with him all
her hard-earned money, her watch, and in
fact everything of any value she possessed.
Our efficient detectives ascertained that the
Bcanip had a wife and children in Centrum

however, was yet to come, for from him she
contracted a fearful disease, which has de

ger, silent and repellent in his manner,
making no acquaintance and shunning so
ciety. Ho was a foreigner, too, speaking
our language but imperfectly, aid relying
solely for sympathy and confidenco on the
beautiful woman whose warm, sunny love
liness seemed chilled by the cold, rigid
manners of her huBbancl. She was very
young, too,and those who know them best,
from seeing them most, declared that her
glad utterances were often frozen—her
childish laughter stilled—by a gloomy
look or stern command. He seemed a man
at war with mirth, and brooked no joy in
his alienated sympathies. She feared him,
too for those wno saw how the young
creaturo gladdoned when the sunlight
flung its beauty around hor when the
flowers blodmed in her way, or Nature an
swered back her smiles saw, too, her fur
tive glances to see if ho noted tho tran
sient joy she felt and saw her sadden at
the frown she met.
1
One night the people of tho house at
which they staid heard her scream in ter
ror, but the man's gloomy nature had made
them fear to enter his room, unless invited
and several minutes elapsed before they
summoned courage to ascertain the cause
of her alarm. When, at Ust, a servant
opened the door, the young wife lay dead
upon the floor, stabbed to the heart Tho
man was gone. Mr. L. and myself were
sent for at once, and came immediately.
The window fronting the street was open—
a leap of nearly twenty feet to the ban
quette—but through this, it was certain, the
man escaped. The knife that still pierced
her heart was a Spanish dagger, and usual
ly lay upon tho mantle—its sheath was
thrown upon the floor. It looked as if he
had been snatched up in a sudden passion
to do a deed of blood.
It was late at night, and the woman had
been around from sleep. Her long gown
was stained red with blood, and clung to
the beautilul frame like a winding sheet.
But the face shone ashen in the gas light
with fear. There was horror in the stony
outlines, and the parted lips seemed open
for a cry of despair. I shuddered as I
looked at the spectacle. So young, so
lovely, so full of witching graces, one
could hardly think a being so beautiful
could die. Only the day before I had seen
her, with eyes flashing like the sunlight,
a form of beauty, and laughter rip
pling like the 6ong of waters on her lips,
looking, indeed, "like a thing of beauty
and a joy forever." And now she lay dead.
I noted well each mark essential in the
search I had to make, and then, sick at
heart turned from the place to look for her
murderer.
At the threshold I met her husband. I
laid my hand on his shoulder:
"You are my prisoner!"
"Sir!" he indignantly exclaimed, "how
dare you?"
The tears were yet in my eyes the hor
ror of his deed stUl before my vision. I
could scarcely retain my patience, but I
did.
"I arrest you, sir, for the murder of your
wife!"
His cry was like that of some wild animal,
as he sprung by me up the stairs and dis
appeared in his room. The people stood
grouped around the dead body, tender
hands washing off the blood-stains. These
he flung aside, and knelt with a cry at her
side—a cry like that ofdispair might wring
from courage when hope had fled and life
was at its ebb—a cry like that "of some
swimmer in his agony," or such as virtue
gives when honor's fled. Sobbing, crying,
calling her name in accents piteous and
tender, he at last sunk back, fainting, and
we carried him away.
It seemed 60 certain that he killed her
that none could believe him innocent, yet
his manner showed no guilt It may have
been insanity, or another may have done
the deed but a jury said he did it As the
years go by, the mystery may be cleared
but my heart acquits him now of the law
less deed done years ago. It robbed him
of the only sunlight his manhood knew—it
took from his path the only flower that
gave to him its inoense and perfume. But
he never denied it—only looked at you
when he was spoken to, in an aimless,
wandering way, as if the shock that had
deprived him of the only being he loved,
destroyed his reason.
Long years have passed since then, but
the memory of that horrid night lingers
in my mind, an episode so sad and wretch
ed that I shudder at the thought of it
A Good Word for the Mosquito.
As sojnany readers will find themselves
in closer contact with said insect, presently,
we quote what the Entomologist says con
cerning him, for their edification
The eggs of the mosquito are laid in a
bowl-shaped mass upon the surface of stag
nant water by the mother fly. After hatch
ing out they finally become the wiggle
tails,' or wriggling worms that maybe seen
in the summer in any barrel of water that
is exposed to the atmosphere for any length
of time. Finally, the wiggle-tails' come
to the surface, and the full-fiedged mos
quito bursts out of them, at first, with very
short, limp wings, which in a short time
grow both in length and stiffhess. The
sexes then couple, and the above process is
repeated again and again, probably
several times in the course of one sea
son. It is a curious fact that the male
mosquito, which may be known by its
feathered antenro, is physically incapable
of sucking blood.
"The musquito is not an unmitigated
pest' Although in the winged state the
female sucks our blood and disturbs our
rest, in the larva state the insect is decided
ly beneficial, by purifying stagnant water
that would otherwise breed malarial dis
eases. Linseus long ago showed that if
you place two barrels of stagnant water
Bide Dy side, neither of them containing
any 'wiggle-tails' or other living animals,
and cover one ol them over with gauze,
leaving the other one uncovered so that it
will soon become full of 'wiggle-tails,'
hatched out from the.eggs deposited by the
female mosquito, then the covered barrel
will in a few weeks become very offensive,
and the uncovered barrel will emit no im
pure and unsavory vapors."
French Insanity.
It appears from collated statistics that in
sanity is steadily on the increase in France.
From the 1st of January, 1801, to the 31st
December, 1810, the number of mad under
treatment amounted to 5,41G from January
1811, to December 1820, to 8,372 from Jan
uary, 1821, to December, 1830, to 10,714
and from January, 1831, to December, 1840
to 14,135. So that between 1801 and 1840
the numbers were almost trebled.
The increase during the next ten
years is even more startling. Between 1841
and 1850 the number reached 36,530. Again
this number increased between 1851 and
I860 to 50,245. Since 1860 the numbers
have steadily increased. In 1861 there were
6,266 mad poor in 1862 the numbers were
6,437 in 1863 they were 6,669 in 1864 they

Intoxicated Robins.
A correspondent of the Boston Journal
of Chemistry writes:
I do not remember having seen it notic
ed in print, bnt the robins which leave
their Northern home to winter at the
South, fall, while there, into very bad hab
its. They are exceedingly fond of the ber
ries of the "Pride of India," a tree which
is. grown extensively for ornament and
shade in some localities of Georgia and
Florida. As this tree bears its fruit
abundantly, somewhat after the
manner of mountain ash in northern lati
tudes, birds collect upon it in great num
bers, and after feeding awhile many of them
become so intoxicated that they can neither
fly nor remain perohed on the branches,
but fall to the ground. Here they are
picked up by the colored population, who
esteem them very nice material for pot
pies. If left undisturbed the little crea
tures soon recover from their indiscretion,
but like some human beings, learning no
wisdom from experience, and consulting
appetite at the expense of safety, they again
return to the tree, and indulge themselves
with its delicious but dangerous fare."
A CASE of interference with religious
convictions occurred the other day in Buf
falo, which came very near terminating
like the sad Mary Ann Smith case. A
young woman, named Ellen Mannie, a do
mestic, 19 years old, was converted at a
Methodist meeting. Her parents, hearing
of it, tried every means of decoying her
home, that they might get her in their
power but she feared them, and would
not go. At length they procured a war
rant for her arrest They asserted that
she was but 17 years of age, and under her
father's control. She gained permission to
retire to her chamber, when she leaped
from the window upon a back shed and
escaped, and is now where her persecutors
can not find her. It is believed that the in
tention was to confine her in a nunnery.

estandmost conservative moneyed institu
tiOiut of tho city is mado the victim of an
exploit in thievery that for ingenuity in de
sign skill in execution, and success
achieved, marks the sure advancement of
burglary as an art. In this instance, prob
ably tho full amount of one million of dol
lars in available funds and securities has
been appropriated by the enterprising
rogues, who have so carefully covered their
tracks that the police axe utterly baffled
even in detecting clue that might fasten
a faint suspicion upon some ono.
THE M6C0VEBT.
Tho Ocean Bank, occupying the main
floor of tho elegant and spacious brown
stone building at Fulton and Greenwich
streets, was the scene of his last and most
daring undertaking. The bank was closed
aud secured in the usual manner on Satur
day afternoon at the ordinary time, gold,
currency, stocks, bonds, certificates and
other valuable securities, aggregating be
tween three and four millions of dollars in
value, having first been deposited in tho
safes standing within the trebly doored and
locked vault. Tho porter swept np the lit
ter made by the days .business, secured the
windows and doors, and retired to his apart
ments in the attic, congratulating himself
that he had no more work to do until Mon
day morning. Monday morning came, and
with it tho porter, bright and early. The
doors were opened at 6 o'clock in tho morn
ing, and as daylight found its way into the
long darkened apartment, tho porter was
thunderstruck by noticing tLe vault door
standing open. With ono leap he cleared
the counter, jumped over desks, stumbled
over chairs, and made the fastest time he
was ever known to make, in a direct line
to the vault opening. Here his astonish
ment was increased by the discovery that
the interior doors were open also. Strik
ing a light he was amazed at seeing the
floor littered thick wtth those beautiful evi
dences of value he was accustomed to see
handled with so much care, and mixed
with them, and lying around loose, were
numerous bright and shining gold pieces.
The bank had been robbed. "Watch!"
"Police!" shouted the porter. Then re
membering that he had locked tho door on
entering, he returned to the entrance of
the building, opened the door, and gaining
his senses as he proceeded, stopped shout
ing, went out, locked the door behind him,
and hastened to the Liberty street police
station, and informed Capt Steers of his
discoveries. The Captain called two offi
cers to accompany him, and with the porter
went to the bank. On hastily surveying
the scene, he assumed the responsibility of
taking possession of the bank, and sending
the porter search of the bank officials.
These were speedily brought to the scene,
when a thorough examination of tho prem
ises was made, disclosing the fact that the
operators had entered from the rear base
ment, by boring a hole through the ceiling
of that room and the floor of the room
above, thus effecting an entrance into the
President's room, giving them the range of
the institution.
THE BOOTY.
One safe contained the assets in charge
of the receiving teller, being mainly cur
rency, gold and checks. There was $30,
000 in gold, tied up in canvass bags, and
filling a considerable portiion of the avail
able space. One of these bags was taken
out and examined, but being found heavy,
was left standing on top of the safe. An
other bag was cut open and its contents
scattered about, a portion of it having
been taken, probably for loose change.
Between $20,000 and $30,000 in national
bank bills and greenbacks was in this safe
not
pay
able to the bonk, $500,000 in three per
cent, certificates, $78,000 in gold
certificates, and about 1,200,000 in
various bills receivable were left intact.
The other safe was forced open in
the same manner as the first one. This
contained the exchange package of the
b%nk, made up for delivery at the Clearing
House on Monday morning, which were
left intact, so that the bank made its set
tlements yesterday in full, and without the
•lightest inconvenience. Besides these,
the afe was filled with small tin boxes and
sealed packages belonging to the custom
ers of the bank, and left there for securi
ty. A number of these, for which there
was no room in the safe, were piled on the
floor between the two safes. These were
all opened and thoroughly examined, eve
rything in the shape of money or negotia
ble securities in them being appropriated.
The amount taken can only be estimated,
as the bank has no knowledge
of or any responsibility for the
contents of such special deposits.—

which were despoiled, but he declines giv

currency was taken, but the other valua

that his box contained coupon bonds to the
amount of $50,000, all of which was taken.
Other individual losses vary from $250 to
$100,000, but the losers decline stating the
amount of their losses and the bank has no
means of knowing. But it is commonly
estimated that, including the amount lost
by the bank, say $25,000, the robbers se
cured from $80,000 to $1,000,000.

THE BABE OF OPEEATIONS.
The basement of the bank was formerly
one room, and was occupied by the Globe
Insurance Company. William Okell sub
sequently rented it for an exchange office,
and sub-divided it into three apartments,as
shown in the diagram. The middle and
rear apartment he offered for rent, reserv
ing the front room for his own use. About
three weeks ago a well dressed, gentleman
ly appearing person engaged the inner or
rear room, as he represented, as an agency
for the Chicago Life Insurance Company,
agreeing to pay $600 per year rent, month*
ly in advance. He paid one month's rent,
$50, on taking possession. He appeared
to Mr. Okell to be a German, but the name
he gave is not remembered. This office is
directly underneath the private room of
the President of the bank, and has an en
trance on Fulton street, numbered 220. A
few days after engaging the office, a very
respectable sign, gold letters on a black
board, extending across the entire front,
appeared, reading as follows:
INSURANCE, NEWCOMB & O'NEILL.
About the same time an elegant office
desk, with an imposing array of pigeon
holes, was brought to the place with a good
deal of ostentation, and caro taken to let it
be seen going in. Then came what seem
ed to be a remarkably large wardrobe,
which was placed against the- wall of the
room. After these demonstrations, Messrs.
Nowcomb & O'Neill relapsed into obscuri
ty, as no one seems to remember having
seen them come in or go out, or have any
visitors. Of course, no Newcomb& O'Neill
were to be found yesterday.
On examining their office it was found
that they had carefully screened the glass
partition between them and the room "to
let," and had taken other precautions to
keep out prying eyes. Word*ol»
found to have at cither end secret panel
doors, covering openings large enough to
admit a man, ana in which any amount ot
tools could be concealed. Some of their
tools still remained in these places. Their
desk stood direotly beneath the hole cut in
the bank above,and had evidently been used
both as a scaffold to work on and a means
of reaching the upper floor. They had
stood on this desk and cut their way
through at their leisure. In cutting
through they had to cut out apiece of joist
fifteen by three inches in size. This they
cut through with anrers, as well as the
flooring. Tho hole was evidently com
pleted, all but cutting through the thin
board floor of the room above, perhaps a
day or two before they effected an entrance
tion to screen their work from the observa
and of any chance visitor, apiece of paste
board was pasted over it. So that on Sat
urday night they were probably inside the
bank within an hour after the porter had
left it
The tools used by these fellows were ol
every conceivable kind, and all of the best
quality. They consisted of oyer four hun
dred pieces, including everything known in
the burglar's art. Besides some superior
new tools for cutting the hole, they had
a supply of crowbars, braces, files,
skeleton keys, drills, spikes, sledge
hammers, two jack-screws, one of them
of unusual power, jimmies, machinery
oil, dark lanterns, &c.t all of which they
left behind are now in the possession of
the police. They were also prepared to
encounter opposition.

Our community received a severe shock
last evening upon iearuing that ALONSOS
CAMY, Treasurer and Secretary of the St
Paul ltail way Company, bad been instantly
killed at PeWauke^ by being run over by a
train of cars. Mr. GABY went out yester
day afternoon on tho 2 o'clock train of the
La Crosse Division, intending to go as far
as I'ewaukee, whoro ho would meet tho
incoming train and return home upon it.
Ho took a seat and rodo out in the baggage
car. As tho train drew up to the depot at
Pewaukee tho incoming train was seen on a
side track waiting, and the engineer sig
nalled to have it wait for a passenger. Mr.
CAUY had 'been sitting in the baggage car,
and evidently fell into a dose. As the
taain slackened he started up, saw the train
on the side track, and passing out of the
car took hold of the railing and attempted
to step upon the platform. Not letting go
of the railing ho was drawn back and fell
between the cars, four passenger coaches,
passing over his body and killing him in
stantly. The train had nearly slackened
speed at the time, and went but a few feet
further before coming to a full stop.
Hastening back the remains of Mr. CARY
were found on the track, but there was no
sign of life, and his death had been instan
taneous. The body was shockingly man
gled. The remains were taken up and
brought in by the incoming train, placed in
a casket and taken to the home of his fami
ly last evening.
A watch on the body of Mr. CABY stop
ped at three minutes of three o'clock,
showing this to have been the exact time
of his death.
Alonson Cary was about 48 years of age,
a native of tho state of New York. He
came to Milwaukee about the year 1847,
and engaged in the capacity of book keeper
lor the firm of Merrill & Firman, then ship
cai penters in this city. Afterwards he was
engaged as clerk in the Post Office under
the administration of J. A. Noonan Esq.,
Post Master. From this ho went into the
service of Alanson Sweet in his warehouse,
and continued in the same place under the
successive firm of Wheeler & Co. The lat
ter house was also doing business at Troy.
N. Y., under the style of Russel Sage &
Co. and to this place Mr. Oary
was tranr-
ferred, and thus dawned the acquaintance
with Mr. Sage which ripened into that con
fidence in his unswerving integrity, fidelity
and capacity, which, when the control of
the Milwaukee & St. Paul Bailroad came
into the hands of that gentleman and his
friends, pointed him out as a proper per
son to be entrusted with the money and
records of the company and accord
ingly he was, on the 1st day of July, 1863,
elected Treasurer and Secretary of the
company, and has continued with it till the
time of his death, witnessing its growth
and prosperity, and growing with equal
rapidity in the confidence and respect of
the directors, stockholders, officers and
emyloyees of the company.
Mr. Cary was an active and honored
member of the Independent Order of Odd
Fallows, and was most highly esteemed by
his brethren. He was also a communicant
and vestryman of St John's (Episcopal)
Church, in this city, and was there hon
ored and beloved.
In all the relations of life Mr. Cary
an efficient and exemplary man above re
proach, beloved, honored and confided, in
by all. His remarkably genial disposition
caused sunshine in the social circle.
He leaves a wife, and six children of ten
der years, on whom his sudden death falls
with crushing weight but we will not in
vade the Banctity of the domestic" circle
and unfold the great grief that there per
vades all breasts. His family have the un
divided sympathy of the entire communi
ty. Of him it can be well said:
"The earth that bears him dead,
Bears not alive a TBUEB MAN."

A MOOiUSli HOUSEHOLD.
Visit to

a' ltauMjlmaii Family—Moor
nMUclty—oppoHltion to Poly(-
The Hon.. S. S. Cox, in a letter to the
New York Woild/thus describes a visit to
a Moorish family in Algiers: "Our visit
had been previously arranged, and a prom
ise made that wo should see all the trin
kets, jewelry,, etc., of a Moorish household.
As Mustapha' Bayato led the way to his
house, he emerged upon tho narrow streets
through which wo were passing"."' Hu said:
that once he, too, could afford to live in an
elegant house in bettor quarters, but the
French camo, and all was changed, He
had sold his honrcc, taking one much in
ferior, and kept bin shop likooa&of the
common people. We did hot Bee tho de
gradation of tliut, but out of respect to our
host we forbore comment.
"Wo enter the ordinary Moorish house
by a large double, common, wooden door.
It opens into a small square vestibule.
A neatly whitewashed stairway is in front,
and a door at the.side opens to the inner
court. The double piazza incloses the
court, and the lower rooms arc devoted to
the servants. The stairs were of slate, and
I noticed their extreme cleanliness was not
in the least disturbed by the boots of the'
gentlemen, since our host kad quietly
dropped his shoes at the door and encas
ed his feet in another and clean pair ready
for him at the foot of the stairway. [Meme
—A good idea for the lords of creation of
other nations.} The doors of the ^piazzas
and rooms were of porcelain tiles, We
were ushered into the salon de reception,
one of the four upper rooms reserved for
Mustapha's family. A low, cushioned di
van ran the length of the room, and in the
front, scattered over the room, were car
ets, rugs, and silken cushions. Mnrc.
Eayato rose gracefully 'to receive
us and gave us the Arab salutations. Hen,
we choose our seats as best suited us I, on
the divan near our host, my Italian com-

French madame we had encountered

Mme. Bayato on the other side of her
liege lord, with her group of three very
pretty danghtcrs, while number four, a
pretty child of about that number of years,
nestled Tjui-wo.en her father's knees, and
alternately bestowed and received cart-bses
from her handsome papa. Indeed, it
seemed much like a Christian household in
this respect a beautiful domestic picture,
Mustapna's face radiated with pleasure,
•as he floated down the calm current of
domestic bliss.' Mme. Bayato was a very
pretty type of the Moorish woman. She
had decidedly Spanish features and com-,
plexion, as we thought we afterward found'
it was true, as she was descended from a
very wealthy and noble Spanish family—
ii e., a Moorish family once celebrated in
Spain before the Moors were driven thence.
Her hair was dazzling in its blackness. It
was cut short at the neck and covered with
a silken foulard (handkerchief) .^[hose em

upon one side in the form of a heavy tas

forehead an agraffe, with pendants. orha
mented the point at the tie and these were,
matched with ear-rings of pendant soli
taires. She wore a crimson velvet basque,
cut nearly in the Pompadour Btyle, Witfe
lace chemisette, and confined at the waist
by a girdle of the same, the girdle
and basque embroidered in gold—
Large, full muslin 'pantalons,' over
those of a thicker material, completed
the toilet of the madame. A dozen strings
of pearls were around the neck, and sev
eral pairs of bracelets, in- antique designs,
ef gold and diamonds, and massive gold
anklets, were the ornament of hands and
feet. Of course, she had put on the "addi
tional number of jewels, &c., to redeem the
promise made to us to display all her bi
jouterie. The diamonds were set in silver,
so we .were able-to. bear their brilliancy
without envy. Had the seU^Qc been gold
I would notepeak for Our integrity. After
ward, jackets of gold cloth and 'paptalons'
to match, were shown us, for
fete occasions.
The children were attired like Hie mother,
only with less jewelry, and. instead of the
foulard head tie they, wore the little &ncy
Greek cap of gold coins, tied coquetislily
at one side. ......r.
