Lizards are very use ul for the deotruc
tiou of vermin in the tropics, and when a
house in Manilea is hired, an agreement is
always made that the proprietor shall stock
it with bzaids, if not alieady stocked. In
some houses lizards will remain, much to
the annoyance of the tenants.

Newark, Wayne County, N. Y., is
deeply interested in the discovery of a
curious stone, lesembling a petrified
human foot and a part of the leg. It
was found in digging a cellar, aDd the

Three Italians made an entry burglari
ously and carried off a tea-service, two
Japanese cups, a watch, ani some arti
cles of jewlery, the whole of a value of
30,000 florins. The men were traced and
discovered by a gendarme carousing
with the proceeds of the watch, which
they bad pawned. One of the thieves
prepared to resist, but the officer having
drawn his saber they all decamped two
of them got clear off, but the third was
overtaken and lodged in prison. The
other stolen articles were found in a box
at the railway station.
English history does not record a more
-daring action than that of Edward Stan
ley, an Eoghsh officer, at the attack of
one ot the forts of Zutphen in the Low
Countries in the year 1586. Three hun
dred Spaniards defended this fort, and,
when Stanley approached it, one of them
thrust a pike at him to kill him he
seized hold of it with both his hands, and
held it with such force that the Spaniard
unable to wrest it from him, drew him
up into trie fort. He instantly drew his
sword and dispersed all that were pres
ent. This so a'tonished the garrison that
it gave Stanley's followers time to storm
the fort and establish themselves in their
conquest.
A French philosopher has opened a re
ligious retreat lor monks and nuns,
whose system of belief consists in believ
ing nothing msieur Pierartt calls his
retreat a "Lay Monastery tor Atheists,'
and these are for 'philosophers of mature
years." None must be under fifty years
of age. They must be single or widow
ers, and lady philosophers are to be ad
mitted on equal terms to this divine
society of* ancient athesists. They must
all bear a cunoioa share'of the house
hold expenses, and the eccentric devotees
are to pass their hf-avy hours in philoso
phical study or serene disputation, varied
with Ucrures upon the potentiality oi
matter and the negation of Qod.
Hops are firrit mentioned by Pliny,
the young plant being eaten as a vege

sixteenth century they were not used as
an ingredient in beer and, when their
cultivation was firs', introduced fiom
Flanders, in 1535, an out cry was raised,
and Parliament was petitioned against a
"wicked wted that would spoil the 'taste
of the drink and endanger the peo-

with the public, who relished this addi
tion to the previ msly unmitigated sweet
ness. And so the hop was promoted

MERCHANDISE MAIL.
INew Yoik World.]
On the first of the present month, by order
of the Postmaster-General, the system of
registering third-class matter in its transmis
sion through the mails went into effect.
Such matter must be indorsed, either in
writing or in print, with the name and ad
dress of the sender, and there may be added
a brief description of the number and names
of the articles inclosed. The registery fee,
which is 10 cents, as well as the postage,
must be prepaid. With a view to ascertain
ing how tbe new system worked, a World
reporter called on Mr. Forrester, Superin
tendent of the Registery Department of the
New York office, and asked for information.
"Third-class registered matter, under the
new provision," said Mr. Forrester, "is
coming gradually, but the indications are
that it is going to grow in volume. From
the 1st to the 5th of this month we received
about 400 packages, principally merchan
dise, and they averaged about two and a half
pounds each. Such dealers as Ehnch & Co.,
Ridley, and those who advertise samples, are
adopting the system. People in the country
order goods and request that they be for
warded by registered mail. We have few
packages coming in in proportion to the
number going out."
"Will the ssstem yield a large income?"
"It is not a matter of large revenue. The
registration fee will pay the expense of hand
ling it as registered matter."
"What is thud clasB matter?"
"Briefly, third class matter is everything
admitted to the mails which is not written
matter. It includes books, merchandise
etc.'*
"How about the sending of jewelry through
the mails?"
"We try to discourage it, because it is too
valuable to be sent in open packages. Still,
we get it. To-day, for instance, we had a
lady's pendant. It was made of gold, was
deeply studded with diamonds, and was of
exquisite workmanship. The sender placed
it in an open package, on which he paid o.ie
cent in addition to the 10 cent registration
fee. By leaving it open for inspection he
took the chances of exciting some man's cu
pidity, and saved five cents.
"Have tbe contents of all packages to be
examined?"
"Yes, before registration."
"How is the system going to affect the ex
press companies?" asked the reporter.
"It will undoubtedly infringe on their
business. Business men will soon take ad
vantage of it to a much greater extent than
they do now. They will advertise that on
receipt of the registration fee and postage
they wiil send any goods ordered by mail.
We have already had many inquiries on the
subject. Goods can be sent by mail cheap
er than by express, and the system will be
found of great service where there are no ex
press offices."
"What advantage has the system?"
"It has this: The sender of registered
matter gets a return receipt, showing that
the package has been delivered, signed by
the person who receives the parcel. An
other advantage is that the packages are
treated with all the care of registered let
ters."
KILLED BY A CRAZY NEGRO.
New York World.
Richard P. Harrisou, an attendant at the
New York city asylum for the insane on
Ward's Island, was killed on Sunday morn
ing by Wm. Scott, a negro inmate of the in
stitution. Word was sent to the coroner's
office yesterday and Coroner Woltman took
charge of the case.
Harnson, with three other attendants, was
in charge of Ward Island, containing sixty
eight "working patients," or patients trusted
to do outdoor or other labor. These patients
sleep in three dormitories, on small cots
scattered about the irregular rooms. At night
they are looked at from
time to time by a single attendant,
and at 6 o'clock in the morning are roused
for the day's work. At that hour the four
day attendants take charge. Dnring Satur
day night preceding Scott, who slept in the
central dormitory, had had some sort of
quarrel with a German patient in the same
room, and was slightly cut on the side of the
head. The case was reported by the night
attendant to the physician in charge, and
Scott for the remainder of the night was
given a separate room. He rose with the
oihers and mingled with them while they
were dressing. Harrison was busy making
up the beds in one of the dormitories, when
Scott came in, carrying his trousers in his
hand. Harrison told him to put them on
without delay, and received only a push
response. He continued at his work at the
bed, while his assistant, a mild lunatic, went
out of the room across the hall to the wash
room to call another attendant. This left
Harrison and Scott alone in the room. The
negio, while the attendant's back was turned,
struck him on the head with a heavy earth
enware vessel, stunning him, and then fell
on him and showeied blow after blow on his
head. Mangara, another attendant, hurried
to find Haraison lying insensible across
the cot, while within a few feet of him,
standing by in the most careless sort of a
way, was Scott, with his weapon still in his
hani. Scott offered no resistance, and being
commanded left the room jabbering irrele
vantly. Harrison's skull was horribly frac
turedpowdered almostand from the ar
tenes ot the neck his blood was spouting.
The wall twelve feet away was stained with
it and the floor slippery. The man died in
the afternoon. He leaves a widow, two sons
and three daughters. One of the sons is a
clerk in a steamship office, while the second
has begim practice as a lawyer after a course
of study in Judge Ed iunds office. Harri
bon was over fifty, and was for many years a
manufacturer of soda water. He nad been
an attendant at the asylum for three months.
Scott is-an unsightly fellow, with distorted
features and great vacant eyes, looking from
between high cheek bones. An affection of
the eyes adds to his unsighthness. All that
is known of him in the hospital is that be is
a native of the United States, 40 years of
age, and had been for some years a cook on
United States war vessels. His mania is the
result of excessive drinking. He was ad
mitted to the hospital 911 the 13th of July
1875. On July 3, 1876, he was taken awaj
as cared by a woman said to be his wife. He
remained out until August 12, 1877, when he
returned and has since remained under
treatment. He- has been assigned to
work in .the kitchen. Hre was*

He has had several of them, and at times is
relieved from regular work and put with one
of the haim:ess gangs. He was not looked
upon as a safe patient, but no record of any
tendency towards homicidal mania had been
made against him.

HORRIBLE MURDER IN MICHIGAN
[Detroit Special Di-patch to Tthe Cincinnati
Enquirer.J
At 8 o'clock this morning Mrs. Corkiu, a
woman living in the PotonTao quartet, came
to the Cential police station and reported
that a murder had been committed at 142
Franklin street. Two officers went Jo the
house and found that Mrs. Mattie FarreU,
aged nearly 70, was lying dead on her bed,
where she had evidently been placed. Her
son, Henry Language, said that at 0 o'clock
he went into his mother's room to look at
the clock, and found her dead on tbe floor,
and at once ran to Mrs. Corkin's house and
told her. Beyond jat he knew nothing.
Mrs. Corkiu and Mrs. Ann Hauiey,
who had been called in by Lan
guage, agieed saying they found
the body on the* floor, wrapped
in the quilt and coverings or the bed, as
though she had rolled in the agony of death,
her hands clutching the coven n^s hiuih.
Her neck was broken, her face was braised
badly, and over her ri^ht eye was an ugly
gash about three inches long and a quarter
of an inch in depth. They washed the blood
trom the dead woman's face, cut off her
gray hair matted with blood, and laid ber
out as well as they could. There was blood
on the floor, baseboaid, and on a trunk at the
head of the bed.
Besides Language and his mother, the
family consisted of his four year-old daugh
ter Mattie, and Willie Claik, an eight year
old cousin of Mattie, who lived with Mrs.
Farrelland called her grandma. The boy
says that at 5 o'clock jesterday afternoon
Language kicked at him, and diove him
down stairs, when he wanted to enter the
room occupied by the family.
Mrs. FarreU came to the win
dow and told him to go for a policeman, and
Language jerked her away from the window.
After that he was afraid to go upstair*, ard
the woman who lives down stairs let him stay
all night in her room. Mattie, who is a
pretty little blonde, persistently refused to
answer any questions, saying, "Papa tole me
not to say any thin' but J. Lloyd Brezee, a
reporter of one of tbe evening papers, man
aged to gain her confid nee, and gives the
following graphic and dramatic report of the
interview:
lteporter "Was there anyone here with
you and grandma and pa?"
B-iby"No dess pa and dauma and me."
R."What did pa do?"
B."He pull danma and puss (push)
her."
K.Did grandma cry?"
B."No se holleredhollered murder,
murder!"
R."Did your pa have a knife?"
B."No pa didn't tut danma he ticked
(kicked) and pound ber.''
R."And there was no one else here at
all?"
B."Pa locked door."
R-"Did pa kick grandma this way?"
(illustrating.)
B."No iss Way," and the little one
stamped her hbel square down upon the
floor. At this the women in the room,
hardened cases though the- were, used to all
sorts of crime, turned awaj with a shudder.
The sight of thatiunocent little girl picturing
how her father had undoubtedly crushed the
life out of his own mother was too awful
even for their natures.
R."What did pa do when it got dark?"
B."He made me hole a lamp while ho
wass (wash) canma's face."
Mattie's mother is in the house of correc
tion, and Willie sajs his mother has gone off
on a boat somewhere, but both children will
now be taken care of by the authorities.
Henry Language, who is in the Central sta
tion, is the son of Mrs. FarreU by her first
husband, and works at whatever he can get
to do. Mrs. FarreU took in washing and
went out scrubbing.
Every now and then some chap writes
to a newspaper for a receipt to prevent

with their legs sober, their nair
