John McNulty, of San Francisco, condemned to be executed for the murder of James Collins, a longshore man, was married in the county jail to Kate K-r, who recently procured a divorce from her husband, David U tiber, on the ground of desertion. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. A Terrible eed. The cabin of Marie Ilerthune, of Pittsburg, Kan , widow of Louis Ber th uoe, one of the miners killed in the Fronteau explosion, was discovered to be on fire. Before the il.mes were ex tir.gimed the widow and four of her children were burned to death. The eldest child, a girl of 9 years, who suc ceeded in escaping, said her mother sent each of the children off to bed with a kiss and then sat down near the stove. The girl could not sleep, and lay watching her mother, whe, after singing for some time, took a can of coal oil and poured it over herself, lxd clothes and children. The grief stricken woman then set fire to some pieces of paper and scattered it about the room, and soon the whole place was in flames. The girl jumped from bed and boiled for the half-open door. Her mother, whose loose dress was burning fiercely, caught her in her arms and tried to prevent her escape. The j;irl fought for freedom, her strug gles being strengthened by tne death shriek of the other children, who were writhing iu the flames tint were fast consuming tae cabin. Mrs. Btr- thune passed her arais around the struggling child's body, and, unmitid- j fill r,f tli fir. tb;it vena alna-lv hnmin ! her, endeavored to hold her, but her strength soon gave way before the aw ful torture. The girl finally made one more tflort to tear herself from the, maniac. Released from the arms of her mother, the girl 6tggered through the door and fell headlong into a ditch, from which t-he was rescued a few minutes later by a party of miners. Kidnaped a School ilrl. Nelson Moore, a widower with six children, living near Huntersrille, ; Pocahontas County, W. Va , a few days ago stole a fourteen-year-old daughter of M. . Gordon from school, and hid with her in an unfre- quented oomt in the mountains. He started to leave the Btate with her, but was captured near the Virginia line by a party who had been follow ing him, and was lodged in jail at Hunteisville. The girls father was with the pursuers and fired two shots at Moore, neither taking effect. Moore wanted to marry the girl, and has dodged her steps for two years. Chopped Ills Head Off. George Wetherell, of Denver, Col., induced Charles McKane, of Pueblo, to start with him for the mountains to visit a mining camp. Nothing more was heard of McKane until bin mutilated remains were found in Beaver Creek. Histiead had almost ixen severed with an ax, while his body was shockingly mangled. Weth erell had murdered his victim while he slept.. He then abstracted $238 from McKane's pocket, stole his team and drove to Denver. He could not satisfactorily account for the team, and the police arreBted him on sus picion of being a horse-thief , but when a bloody ax was found in his wagon it appeared certain that he committed murder. When the news of McKane's deatli was received the suspicion was verified. Wetherell was sent to the penitentiary ou a life sentence eigh teen years ago for the murder of a sheep herder, but, under the law passed two years ago, making twenty-five years the maximum imprisonment, Wetherell, with his commutations for good behavior, secured a release. He was taken to Canyon Ci y and placed in the penitentiary, as there was talk of lynching him. Prematurely Exploded. A few days ago the machine works at Worthing ton, Ind., cast a small canyon, to be used in firing salutes. A charge was being tamped into the gun, when a premature explosion loc curred, bursting tho gun into many fragments. A machine works em ploye, George Dyer, was struck by the riving missiles, and his right leg man gled near the body in a honible man ner. The fingers on bis left hand were torn off. Physicians were secured and his arm amputated near the elbow, but before the physicians could per form a like operation on his leg the poor fellow died. He was a sturdy, industrious mechanic. His . mother, who lives a Washington, Ind., was tele graphed for, but did not get here in time to see her boy alive. J! ran Keen was also injured in the band by the same explosion, as was also Joe Borders, but the latter two not ser iously. . Almost Decapitated Himself. At the wintering farm cf Wallace & Co., near Peru, Iud., a valuable ring horso was turred in a field, and iu some manner became entangled in a barueti wire tence, and before he could be taken out, had nearly cut his head off, but fortunately not severing the windpipe. lie will die, although every effort is being made to save him. Frightful Leap. While delerious from tophoid fever Mrs. T. J. Lynch, tho pretty wife of n wealthy man of New York, threw bcr celf from the third lloor window of the Bristol apartment house, Fifth avenue and Forty second street. She struck head foremost upon a glass skylight about four fet in diameter, which formed a portion of the ground of the yard, and crashed through the half inch plate as if it were pasteboard. Tearing between the ragged edges o! the broken glass with the fearful" feloc ity gained by her fall of thirty feet, the woman's body passed between two iron girders juH twelre inches apart and landed, after another fall of about twelve feet, torn, bloody and dead scarcely a foot from where one of th? bakers was at work at a range. To a Uesotate Home. Samuel Sholly, a prominent farmer who resides a mile and a half eat c f Wabash, Ind., arrived in the city in a carriage with his family and a basket containing the charred and blackened bones of his twelve-year-old son. The family had made an excursion to Howard County, to visit the family of Jacob Coomler, fornieriy neighbors of Sholly. At an early hoar in the morn ing the two families were awaked by a stilling smoke. They rushed out" as fast as possible, but little Willie was unable to get up and perished in the tluue. The other persons lost their clothing. The houee was totally con sumed. Fired on a School tilrl. As Wilbur S. Jordan, aged about sixteen years, was returning from school at Bellefontaine, Ohio, pointed a revolver full in the face of Minnie Brubaker, a handsome seventeen-year-old school-girl, and suyin, "Your money or your life," discharged the weapon. The ball etruck her just be low the nose, and, passing through the lip, knocked out several teeth. Unless complications arise she will recover. He did not know it ws loaded. Damaged a Sewing Uirl. Miss Jennie Quick, formeily a sew ing ghl in the employ of Lewis Nay tor, a dry goods dealer, of Kansas City, Mo., was awarded $7,000 against him. Some months ago Niytor ten dered her a check in pa ment for her set vices. She wanted cash, and in the quarrel which ensued Naytor ejected the girl, who is only seventeen years of age. Her arm was broken and she sued for $10,000 dairaes. The jury returned a verdict for $7,000 after ten minute' deliberation. The last ninety-five babies born in Vanceburg, Ky., are all giils.and ever ; body is puzz'ed by the phenomenon Paris is said to be full to overflow ing with ladies from all parts of the woild set-kins th latest fashions. A female school-tencher in Amador county, California, is an ardent sports man. She killed eight qmil at one shot a few days ago. It is estimated that in England one man in five hundred gels a college ed ucation, and in this country one in every two hundred. Miss Susan Winter, of Wheatland Montana, is engaged to te married to a young man named Spring. Another case of Winter lingering in the lap of Spring. A wouderful leal estate dealer does business at Gladstone, Mich. He won't sell a lot unless the buyer signs forfeiture contract not to allow whisky-selling on the premises. A St. Louis doctor has removed the brains from a dozen different frogs, and healed the wound and let them go. Ahey went oft as if nothing had happened out of the usual, and, it was plain that they had lost notning of value. A frog which depended on his brains instead of his legs would stand a mighty poor show in a puddle near a school-house. According to the census of 1S80-81, the last one taken, there were at that time 20.980,620 widows in India, of whom 069,000 were under nineteen years of age and 278,900 under four teen years. According to the native custom, none of these widows are at liberty to marry again. Tho same census gave the total female popula tion at 90,700,000, and of these only 200.00U were able to read. Charles F. Peck, a retired lawyer of Englewood, N. J., startled the people in a New York horse-car recently by asking a policeman to take charge of him, saying that he wes getting sick and thought that it was yellow fever. There was a great scampering out of the car, but a physician who. was Rent for found the patient suffering from heart trouble, and without any symp toms of yellow jack. Bernard Meyer, of Omaha, recently felt a slight pain under his left shou -der. The pain soon became intense and a doctor was sought. . An exam ination of the spot revealed a hard substance, which, on being extracted, proved to be a medio in good condi tion. Meyer has no recollection of a needle having entered his body, but his mother says that it occurred when he was an infant, fifty-four years ago. A New York bachelor, over seventy years of age, recently visited Maine, fell in love with a damsell less than half his age, was accepted, went home to prepare for the coming of his bride, When all things were in order, instead of going after his betrothed himself, he sent his younger brother. The younger man was pleased with his future sister-in-law, so pleased that he persuaded her to marry him refore starting lor New xont. . AGRICULTURAL. Devoted to tiik Ixtl-kksts or Farmers AND STOtKMKX. Low wagons should be preferred on tho farm. The difference in the labor required to load an unload a low wag on, as compared with a higher one, is very great. Broad tires are also beltt r than those that are narrow. Farmers in tho section of New South Wales that are suffering from drought find consolation in the fact that the dry spell has cut a wide swath through the rabbit army. In some localities there are scarcely any of these posts left. Rattlesnakes have been unusually numerous in Georgi.t this year, and their increase is attributed by news papers of the Slate to the enforce ment of the stock law, which pro hibits the hog, the rattler's greatest enemy, from roaming at largo. The general farmer, with twt hun dred acres of land, should keep fifty sheep for utility's sake alone. Such men can afford to estimate, the value of sheep from the standpoint of meat, feriilit' and the general advantage of tho farm, regardless of the niaiket price of wool. It costs nothing to be gentle with the cows, and it pays a big interest. The cultivation of the habit of gentle ness when among the cows is bir money in the pocket of the owner. If we sinll stop to think we bliR.ll won- der wh -n we consider the rough way J m winch heifers are often handled j tint there are no more kicking cows then there are. Michigan Agricultural College ex periments with wheat show that salt lessened the yield of wheat. 150 twunds being sown to the acre. Prof. Johnson inclines to think that one and a quarter bushels of seed gives the best yield. The old Clawson seems to retain, in good degree, those qualities which have made it popular lor a longer term of veara thau most other varieties. When a man is too fat the doctor recommends him to eat lemons and partake of acids to reduce his fl;?b. All these things the farmer knows. But strangely enough he forgets them all when he stands in the presence of the sour swill barrel. No woman would think of feeding a human babv on sour milk, but her husband will drive ahead and feed the calves and piss on sour milk, and even -look you full in the f ice and tell you that the calves will thrive best ou sour milk. Every young person kcoa-s that nuts, after they have dried somewhat, ar sweeter than when first gathered. fi.it the drying process goes on until tliey, especially chestnuts, become too hard to be eatable. These and other nuts can be kept from becoming t.K dry by mixing them with Sind. If mixed with an equal bulk of sand, in a box or barrel, and kept in a cool place, the uuts .may- le preserved in an eatable condition urtil spring. It is important to find how much of aDy fodder is digested, as well as to know how much can be grown on an acre, or eaten by a certain amouut of j stock, for on the amount digested de i pends the result in milk or beef. In j using rough fodder we must add some ! concentrated food to make up for iu S poverty m certain elements. Bran, linseed meal and cotton-seed meal an best to make the rations complete. Brewers' grains are a cheap milk-pro ducing food, but at $3 a ton are not equal to cotton seed at $30 a tou. That labor on the farm enables the farmer not only to be repaid for such expense, but also returns a profit can be easily shown by a comparison of crops that demand much labor in their production and those that call for but little. A crop of celery, for instance, is one that keeps the growci busy, and with extra help, from the time the seed is planted until it is finally banked up for bleaching, and as compared with corn it gives a much larger pre fit, though requiring more labor. Tho work is concentrated on a small arei, and the shovel spade and hoe mut be used to a great extent. The crop, therefore, pays a profit on labor as well as on the materials ef which it is composed. While it is proper to economic by using labor saving; implements, yet where the cost of labor is one that increases the profits it is unwise to omit it. We should preserve with great care every tree, large and small, beside our country roads, which are found grow ing in the right place for shade trees to stand. " Let those trees be birch, beeco, maple, ash, elm, pine, spruce, hemlock, or any other kind. Any tree is betlor than the. naked fence and road. Thousands of good trees by the sides of our roads are sacrificed to the ax every year, which, if saved and neatly trimmed and cared Kt. would make beautiful trees in a few j veara and cast a refreshing shadow, i by taking a little pains one will be surprised to find how many trees can be found in almost any town by look ing along tho distance of single mile, and how many may be saved in a town in a single year without being at tho labor of transplanting. Just make a careful selection of those to be saved among the muUitudo of small trees which arc constantly springing up by the roadside. While from twenty to thirty feet apart are proper distances in this work, that rule can not be strictly observed, bat an approach to it as near as poseible is desirable. The first baby born in Denver was the daughter of a settler named Har vey, and she was born in 1860 or thereabouts. In recognition of her enterprise in being born in tho camp, public-spirited citizens presented her with all the land in sight of her father's cabin. Unfortunately, the taxes were never paid, and the land, now worth $2,000,000, fell into other hands. The first girl who once owned it all is now a singer in a variety show in that city.

The Jxfvite de Dctiz Monties recent ly contained an article by C. de Varigny on the money kings of the United States, which presents curious ly sounding statistics about the mil lionaires not only of fail country, but of tho whole world. According to M. de YarigTiy, who derives his infor mation from an English source, the millionaire begins not with a million dollars, but with a million pounds sterling. The statistical table he has borrowed gives for the whole world absut 700 millionaires. Of these 200 are assigned to England, 100 to the United States, 100 to Germany and Austria combined, 75 to France, 50 to Russia. 50 to India and 125 to all other countries. Jay Gould heads the list (for the year 1134) with a capital reckoned at 1,875,000.000 francs, and a yearly income of 70,000,000 frames. J. W. Mackay comes next with an esti mated wealth of 1,250,009,000 francs. Then follows the English Rothchllds with 1,000,000,000. C. Vanderbilt with 625,000,000, J. P. Jones, 600,000,000. the Duke of Westminster 400,000,000, John A. Astor 250,000,000, W. Stewart 200,000,000, J. G. Bennett 150,000,000, tho Duke of Southerland 150,000,000, the Duke of Northumberland 120,000, 000, and the Marquia of Bute 100,000, 000. - MlUtary Microphone In Franco.

Are Not Familiar to Americana Suocea. Long before Lucullns immortalized him self by regaling the jeunesse doree of Rome with his huudj-ed thousand dollar dinners his prototypes were indulging in the same pleas ures ou a 'similar scale in Pekin aod Pook Chow, for gastronomy has been among the fine arts in China almost from the beginning of Chinese history. The Chinese chef has an official status of at least forty centuries' du ration. Two thousand years before tho Chri tian era he was zslouuusa as nighty and paid as liberally as he is today, and now he is ex ceedingly well paid. For example, the chef in a restaurant in Mott street came to New York from San Francisco under a contract by which ho re ceives S100 a month, besides his board and lodging, for his services. AU things consid ered, this salary la fully equivalent to tho $5,000 a year paid to such chefs as preside lu the kitchens of the Hoffman boose, Delmoni co's, the Union League club and the Vander bilt mansion. The Mongolian chef, to jadge by Lee-Ah, who lithe distinguished individual mentioned, is curiously like bis Caucasian colleague in that he is digui fled, egotistical, petulant and thoroughly independent. Un like the Caucasian, however, the great man of tho Chinese kitchen believes in working himself at the simplest tasks In order to keep himself ia practice. In taking charge of the kitchen of a great restaurant his first work is to supply himself with a great variety of spices and condi neuts, and in this particular he is fully qualified to give point to the Jaded sybarites of the Occident. In his stores will be black, white and red pepper, as well as the pimento of the tropics; curry, chntney, mustard, ginger (the favorite spice of the east), green, dried, pickled, sweetened and . pulverized; see-yu. which is tho father of soy and the grandfather of Worcestershire sance; olive oil, peanut o:I, cotton seed oil, clarified butter (the ghee of India); onions, shallots, chives, leeks, garlii, f a-qiia and sa-qua (highly cul tivated bitter encumbers; taa-tai, for which there is no English name; orange and lemon peel, vinegar, lemon juice, powdered crab and lobster shells, a curioas preparation con taining iron, ball a dozen forms of dried mushrooms, and cot less than tifty powerful condiments and spices unknown to Americans and having no English names. Iu every kitchen is a stock or standard foods but a few cf which cro familiar to the American eye. Among the more interestinc are smoked chicken, duck and pigeon, which. nniiKe our smoked meats, retain tuo uatural color and nppearance; shrimps, prawns, oysters and clams which have been dried by some nirsterious process, unknown to us, until they are as hard and durabla es wood; a fish that suggests sardines in oil, but which is a foot in length, from t o to three pounds in wefght, packed in a sardine box a cabic foot ia sine; dried fishes which range from a tiny sprat smaller than but similar to the English whitebait, to a monrfcr eight feet long, two feet wide, and two inches thick; preserved cabbage, which is rolled cp so as suggest a bell of yarn: bean, pea and wheat gintea ia long candy like sticks, which ere raal3 by crusuing tho cereal aad removing the starch by often repeated washings; odd sausages, of which each one is suspended by brilliant colored cords, and is stuffed, not with on indistinguishable hash or paste, but with altematii'g dice of fat and lean meat; huge cans filled w,th tho famous edible bamboo tips, which look and smell like huge asparagus, but taste unlike anything ia Christian markets: water lily leaves, which are used both as a food and as coloring material, imparting a beautiful green to any white food with which they may be cooked; preserved eggs, cf wnicn eacn one is embalmed la a roach mass of quick lime, charcoal and fish clue; sea prouts, which resemble a string bean two feet in length. Occasionally In tho wealthiest establish ments may be seen, the- celebrated birds? nests, which look for ail the world like irreg ular masses of coopers' glue; sharks' fins, which are greenish white pieces of desiccated soft cartilage; beche-de-la-mer, a mollnsk of a high order, which is a first cousin of Victor Hugo's devil fish; and dried sea anemones, which bear the same culinary resemblance to birds nests tliat snapping turtles do to the diamond back terrapin. Some idea of the luxuriousness of the Mongol is efforded by the prices he charges for these delicacies. Dried clams cost f 1 a pound; dried ovsters, J LOO; sharks' fins, ?3 to ?3, according to quality ; beche-de-la-mer, from 40 cents to $3, and birds' tests, from f20 to a dozen. In Chinese cooking sauces play as import ant a part as in the cuisine at Les Freres ProTenceau. For the preparation of these. as weU as far tbe thickening of soups and the concoction of "made dishes, there will be bowlfuls of tho Hi; est wheat flour and starch, and of that finest of all amylaceous foods, rice flour. In this and in other re spects tbe stores of the kitchen contain tbe same articles as first class American restau rant kitchens. Whatever is to be found in our larders finds a place there, and the numerous articles mentioned add the variety which is the main distinguishing feature cf the Chinese cu isine. The furniture of the kitchen presents a curious instance of the invasion of the east by tho west, for the cast iron stove or range is found beside the brick bench used in China, which greatly resembles the one rec ommended by Count flumford in his famous studies at the beginnins f the century. This bench is alout four feet high, four feet wide and from ten to twenty feet ia length. At one end of it is a large fireplace cylindrical in shape, two or three feet in diameter and three feet deep. This is used in roasting. The remainder of the top of the bench has several circular openings of different sizes. In the sides and ends there are smaller fire places, seldom more than eight inches square. The fuel used in cooking is kiln dried wood, hickory or some similar variety being pre ferred. Harper's Bazar. IV.ittcr Inspection in France.

Pluck is the quality of pitching in; grit is the quality cf not backing out. Kovr, we do not expect every one to have both, grit and pluck; bet every one ought to have one or the other; and bo the community, or the so ciety, or, as we have a habit of saying-, the commonwealth, shall have both. I am inclined to think that, personally, I am decidedly lacking in pluck. I em a natural coward. I have the pluck simply ta own fcup my plucslessness. ' When you set before ruo a new enterprise, I in always afraid to embark fa it. But once in, I have grit. I can stick to a job cf work; and when I fight I always inteadj win.
