another woman, Hiippoed to bo on inti
mate term with Grant, frequently visited
hi wife. Weilnt'Hiliiy lust Urant in
foimod tha relation of his wife that she
bad been severely litirt a week before by
an explosion of kerosene, and w a In a
bad condition. Thu relatives found her
burneJ from her knee up, in front only,
terribly charred ami xiechlcs. She
died w hen an atte npt wa made to re
move her. No trace of tho oil could he
found on the floor, nor wero thoro nny
trace of burning below the knee of tho
woman. These contradictory state
ments caused the arrest of Grant, but hu
escaped from the guard. Having been
run to the earth again, be requested per

musket aguitut his stomach and exploded
it, blowing a hole clear throuih himself.
It is thought the koroHone was poured

Naming The Months.
The following from American Note
and Quarries is an interesting account of
the lignillcation of tho mime of each
month of the year:
January is of Latin origin, from the
word Januiiiiiis, named in honor of the
god Janus, to whom this Bcusjn of the
year was sacred.
February was introduced by Numa
Pampilus. The Latin word, Kobruurius
is derived from Februm, which is of Sa
bine origin, according to Nnrco, and
means "purgative;" lionce comes the
noun Februrn, which signified tho Ro
man festival of lustration nnd expiation,
celebrated on the 15th of the mouth,
culled, in consequence, Fohruury ,
March Is named in honor of Mars, the
Roman god of war.
April, which the part of tho year in
which the buds appear and the whole
earth apparently opens, derived its nnme
from Aperire, which menus to open.
May is a name the origin of which we
owe to the Romans, In honor of Maria,
the mother of Morcury and daughter of
Atlns,
June is a name that all will readily
think of when they read tha hlnlory of
the untitle Juno, in till month liu

The Proper Length.
A gentleman from the West tell t his
story of Abo Lincoln, which, If not new,
i certainly by no mean hackneyed.
The irentleman came from the auction in
which Aim and iHniulu were conpicu-
ou ligurc in the past, and the alory he
tell rrlutealoa decision made by Mr.
Lincoln aa to the pnjoor length of a
man' leg.
A the alory iron. Ponclu ami a Mr.
Ltvcjoy weru al one of the haunt in the
village, where they used to meet for
new and goosip, and while there Abe
Lincoln came in and sat down, de pos
ing of his lengthy limb in a soinew hut
awkward manner. They taw him com
ing in antl immediately began I conversa
tion in regard to tho projier length ol a
man a legs.
"Now." naiil Loveiov. "Abo1 leas are
altogether too long, and your, Houglus,
1 think, are a little short, I.ot s ask Abe
what he thlnkaof it.'"
The conversation bud lieen carried on
with a view lo Lincoln'i ovcrhcariuu it.
and they closed it by Having :
"Aim, wiiat doyou think a')out il?
Mr. Lincoln had a far-awiy look, n
lie eat with ono leg twisted around the
other, hut ho responded to the question :
"Think of w hat '!"
'Well, we've lieen talking about tho
proiier length of n man' leg. We
think your are too lontr, and loug!n'
too abort, and we'd like to know w hat
you think i the proper lentgli "
"Well," aid Mr. Lincoln, "that's a
matter that I've never given any thought
to, to, of course, I may be mistaken, tint
my first impression Is that a man' leg
ought to be long onough to reach from
hi body lo the ground."
Flue War Ship.
The new protected cruiser of 7.tiK) ton
displacement, for tho building of which
the secretary of the navy ha Invited
proposals, will, il completed according
to the plan now in tho hand of Secre
tary Tracy, he one of the most formida
ble cruiser in the world. She will be
able to travel at great speed, the calcu
lation being that the three triple-expansion
engine with which slio will be pro
vided, will drive her nt a rate of twenty
two knot an hour, fast enough lo over
take any of the Atlantic ocean grey
hound. She will have three screws,
antl will have endurance mitllciont to en
able her to steam ut her highest rate of
speed aero the Atlantic nnd back.
Two of tho ncrews will drive tho vessel
at the rate of eighteen knots nn hour when
sho i cruising and one screw, when tht
ship wishes to travel along leisurely,
will give her a rule of liftuen knots an
hour.
Tho armament of tho new cruiser will
be treniondons. She will carry two
eight inch gunf, fourteen four-inch rapid
tire guns, and a multitude of smaller
rapid (lie and machine guns. Tha ma
chines ol the cruiser will he wall protect
ed by light Hide armor.
It will bo seen Hint this new cruiser
will be a sort of nil around lighter, for
sho will ho as serviceable for harbor do
funne a nt sen. In an engagement her
rapid llring guns would he able to keep
an adversary continually under a shower
of iiiot.nl. She will be a most formida
ble war vessel and a valuablo addition to
our already tmignillcent navy.
