A LEAL LIFE NOVEL. IlE n.AS NEITIint urilllEKED NOR A •111 KIM.RUK. ! A Mystery ot the Ponnsvlvtuila Dumber Woods Unexpectedly Solved. Capt. C. Cutler, of C arion Mills, Pa., purchased a ticket for Omaha, aud as he . d” 1 said- 1 ‘“That so 'ticket,” : said he, “is for a man who for twenty years has believtd him self to be a murderer fleeing from jus¬ tice, and whoso friends, on the other hand, have for twenty years thought he was the victim cf the man whom he him¬ self believed he had murdered. Hit name is Alexander Baer, and it was only a few weeks ago that he found out that he was not a murderer. “Baer worked for me in 1863. He was paying attention to a girl named Hathaway, and I think they were en gaged to be married. She was a ser¬ vant at the lumbermen’s boarding-house In the fall of that year a good-looking young Scotchman by the name of Gray Cameron came to my mills to work. He belonged somewhere iu Steuben county, New York. He soon cut Aleck Baer out with the Hathaway girl, aud the result was that tho two became bitter enemies. They worked iu the same logging camp. “One day iu the winter of 1861 Cam¬ eron came to the settlement with a bloody face. He said that ho and Bier had got into a quarrel over the Hatha¬ way girl and had come to blows. Baer bad knocked him senseless with a club, and when ho came to he was unable to find his rival. Baer had not appeared in the settlement, and was not seen again about any of the camps. As Baer had nearly $200 due him from our company, and had left $100 in his trunk at the boarding house, his disappearance had an air of mystery about it that puzzled us. The suspicion was pretty general that iu the fight between him and Cam¬ eron, the Scotchman had killed his rival and, fearful of the consequences, had secreted his body. Cameron was aware of these suspicions, and offered to pay for the fullest investigation of the affair and all the expenses of a search for the whereabouts of the missing lumberman. He employed an officer to follow every possible clue he could find that might lead to the clearing up of the mystery, but nothing could be learned. “When the ice broke up in the spring, some boys who were fishing for suckers iu the north branch of the river were at¬ tracted by a peculiar-looking object that came along with some ice, aud they drew it into the shore with a pike pole. On dragging it out they saw that it was the hall-clothed body of a mau. They hurried to the lumber camp and told the men at work there what they had found. The flesh was entirely mi sing from the face and head of the dead man, and rec¬ ognition of the features was impossible. There were remnants of a plaid coat, or jacket, on the body. Alt x mder B <cr was the only one in the region who limt worn such a coat. The plaid was made by broad stripes of green and black. Au iuqubst was held, at which the re¬ mains were th c sred to bt those if iho missing lumberman. The finding of the dead body aroused anew the Mtspi ci ns that he hud been killed by Cam¬ eron. Thevtrdiotof the Ccroutr’.-. j u-y was that the wuu had come to Ills iteatb iu a mauuer unknown. “Baer’s friends demanded the arrest of Cameron. A warrant was issued, apd Cameron rau away. Every one then be¬ lieved he was guilty of Baer’s murder. Ho was pursued aud captured, but while he was being taken to the county seat he escaped from the officer aud was never recaptured. It was believed that he en¬ listed in the army, aud a soldier iu tho Sixty-seventh Pennsylvania liegimeut sent Rome the news in 1865 that he had seen the dead body of Cameron among those who liad died iu Libby prisou. At all events, nothing else wa3 ever heard of the alleged murderer, aud the inci¬ dents connected with the tragedy were gradually forgotten. “A few days ago a stranger appeared at the Clarion Mills and asked for me. To my great surprise he told me he the missing A’exander Baer, aud he ceeded in establishing his identity yond a doubt, ne told a singular He said that Cameron’s version of fight was true. When he knocked eron senseless with tho club, he frightened and tried to revive him. ing in this, he believed he had killed rival, and, without a thought of thing else, fled from the place to the consequences of his crime. He on the edge of the camp a mau Perry, who ftas in the habit of occasional visits to the lumber for the purpose of buying up waste rags of all kinds. The mau was drunk. Kuowing that if he was tised his conspicuous plaid coat lead to his detection, Baer traded it to Perry for a cast-off coat he was ng. Perry had told Baer that he going to cross the ice at the eddy on his way to Crotty’s Mills. He undoubtedly broken through or into an air-hole and was drowned, his body, with the remnants of plaid coat on, was the one the found the next spring. “Baer went to Pittsburgh, where enlisted in the army, under an name. After the war he went to and other Western States, never heard a word from the mills or ment since he fled until the latter part last December. Then he met, in ver, a man named Philip Craig, who working for me at the time of the posed murder. They recognized one other, and Craig told Baer the story the affair, greatly to his and relief. Baer worked his way ally East, to revisit the old scene set things right The Hathaway over whom the two men quarreled, wa 1 married in 1867, and died last year.

Pay me what you think it is worth to you.’ “Tue first mouth ho brought $2, and the second mouth a little boy, who said he was the man’s son, came with $3. After that I saw the mau once in awhile, but iu the course of time the boy paid the rent regularly, sometimes $2 and sometimes $3. One clay I asked the boy what had become of his father. <« ( He’s dead, sir,’ was the reply. “‘Is that so?’ said I. ‘How long since ?’ <( < More’n a year,’ ho answered. “I took his money, but I made up my mind that I would go over and investi¬ gate, and the next day I drove over there. The old shed looked quito de¬ cent. I knocked at the door and a little girl let mo in. I asked for her mother. She said she didn’t have any. “ ‘Where iB she ?’ said I. it ( We don’t know, sir. She went away after my father died, and we’ve never seen her since.’ “Just then a little girl about three years old came in, aud I learned that these three children had been keeping house together for a year and a half, the boy supporting his two little sisters by blacking boots and selling newspapers, aud the elder girl managing the house and taking care of the baby. Well, I just had ruy daughter call on them, and we keep an c-yo on them now. I thought I wouldu’t disturb them while they are getting along. The next time the boy came with the rent I talked with him a little and then I said : «i i My boy, you’re a brick. You keep right on as you havo begun and you will never bo sorry. Keep your little sisters together, aud never leave them. Now look at this.’ “I showed him a ledger in which I liad entered up all the money .^at he had paid me for rent, and told him that it was all his with interest. ‘You keep right on,’ says I, ‘and I’ll be your bank¬ er, and when this amounts to a little more I’ll see that you get a house some¬ where of your own.’ That’s the kind of a tenant to have .”—Chicago Herald.

The second annual report of tho Civil Service Commission, covering a pe¬ riod from Jail. 16,1884, to Jan. 16, 1885, was sent to Congress by the Prei-ident. It says the Civil Service law has been found practicable and effective for the accomplishment of its purpose. During the year persons havo been < xamined from every State and Territory except Idaho. One hundred and sixty-two ex¬ aminations have been held, and 6,347 persons have been examined, of whom 5.525 were males aud 822 weie ft males. Of those examined 4,141 passed at a grade showing them competent for the public service, and 2,306 failed. The average age of those examined was nearly 30 years. Of those examined 3,920 were educated only in common schools, 1,960 in part iu high schools or acade¬ mies, 91 iu part iu business colleges, aud 459 in part in colleges. More than 70 percent, of them had only a com¬ mon school education, There have been 1,806apf o'ntn e ts made from those examined. The report adds that the Commission has no reason to believe that any discrimination on political grounds his beeu made in these ap¬ pointments, and positively asserts that none has been made iu connection with the examinations. Growing Old Together. Some remarkable statements are made of a Georgia pear tree an- the piauter of it. The tree is in M mtgc nery county, and though 87 years old, has not failed to bear a crop of fruit in over eighty years. It was set out iu 1798 by Mr Stafford D.tv:s, who is now living in Worth county at the age of 107 years. He married four years ago (at the age of 103 years) a young lady of 18 years. M>- D tvis is a famer and ma Ie a crop last year. He plowed regularly through the working season. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The sudden and uuusnal ringing of a school bell at Monticollo, N. Y., the other day, wa3 explained by the circum¬ stance that the new teacher used the end of the bell rope to correct a refrac tory pupil. The North Carolina Legislature has passed a bill prohibiting tho selling or giving of cigars or cigarettes to boys under ten years of age. The bill is de¬ signed to check a rapidly-growing evi' in the State. A vessel passing the island of Gaern- ; sey reported having seen an enormous fall ball with of tire terrific shoot explosion from the heavens into and J a the sea to the west of the island. Houses wero shaken and great alarm prevailed. Col. BcrnIby was enormouslv strong aud used to twist pokers and carry ponies up stairs. This accounts for the serious embarrassment of the Arab who gave him his death wound, but whom Burnaby got by tho throat and strangled before he himself died. j A young gentleman of Adairsville, Ga„ I made the mistake of proposing to his sweetheart by postal card. The card was read by about twenty persons be fore it fell into the hands of the one for whom it was intended. A big social sen sation is the consequence. Tom ELLiorr, a rich young farmer of Dakota, having announced that ho would never marry until wheat sold at SI per bushel, a neighboring farmer, who has a daughter willing to relieve Tom’s loneliness, has offered to take his entire crop at SI a bushel aud give him a check for it at the wedding. Wm. Robertson, a young man living in Louisburg, N. C., while in a grog shop, made a bet that he could drink a quart of whisky inside of forty minutes, The money was put up, and he drank the liquor from the quart measure, get ting through in thirty-one minutes. He died two hours afterward. A Minnesota farmer states that he can “keep one stove going” during six months with the sunflower stalks pro. duced on an aero of land. The seed produced and fed to fowls pays for all the work of cultivation. He burns tho smaller heads with the stalks, which are cut in the fall to the required length. A Kansas criminal, indicted and con¬ victed upon three distinct counts, has been sentenced to imprisonment for three years upon the first charge, for ten years upon the second* and for the rest of his natural life upon the third. It would seem as if tho last sentence might cause him to lose interest some¬ what in tho other two. A New Orleans doctor calls attention to a very simple fact which merits atten¬ tion from medicine takers. If the medi¬ cine is mixed with very cold water, and a few swallows of the water be taken as a preparatory dose, the nerves of the organ of taste become snffieiently be¬ numbed to make the medicine nearly tasteless. This method will not dis¬ guise bitter tastes, but acts well in oils and salines. At a meeting of the St. Petersburg Health Committee the fact was brought to light that the large death rate in Rus¬ sian hospitals is caused by the lack of nourishing food for patients. The al¬ lowance of about fourteen cents a day for diet dfles nor suffice to buy so much as a pound of beef for broth, aud of such footl as the patients succeed iu procuring they are partially robbed bv the ill-fed nurses. To test the purity of water there has been found no better or simpler way than to fill a clean pint bottle three fourths full of the water to be tested and dissolve in the water half a teaspoonfnl of the purest sugar-loaf or granulated will answer—cork the bottle, and place it in a warm place for two days. If in twenty-four to ferty-eight hours the water becomes cloudy or m Iky, it is un¬ fit for domestic use. Splendid Honors. The public should note the fact that the only proprietary medicine on earth that ever received the supreme award of Gold Medal at the great Interna ional World Fairs, Industrial Kxpositions and State Fairs, is St. Jacobs Oil. After the most thorough and practical te.-ts, iu hospitals and elsewhere, it lias univer¬ sally triumphed over nil competitors, and beeu proclaimed by Judges and Jurors, including eminent physicians, to be the best puin-cunng rtmtdy in exist¬ ence. The Use of a Scarf Pin. They wero playing whist ia the sm iker. One of the players wore on his cjllar scarf a diamond pin. It was very large and very brilliant. The iufereuca was that the wearer was a showy nabob, or a blackleg. As a partuer was shuffling for a new deal, auother remarked: “That is a fine piii you wear!” “Yes,” replied the man, “that is a goad pin—for the money. It cost S3.50. It is paste. You may wonder why I wear su ?h a worthless bauble. I wear it for protec¬ tion. This is the third one I have worn, the other two wore stolen. Let me ex¬ plain: “I was traveling on a Southern rail¬ way at night. Gradually the passen¬ gers in the car I was in dwindled to three—two men besides myself. I dis¬ covered that these men were attracted by my scarf pin, and I was convinced that they were determined to get it. I was glad, for I had more than $3,000 iu mouev aud checks in my pocket. When I left the car one mau was in front of mo, aud one was behind, and as I passed out the door, the jolting of tue car gave both an opportunity to fall against me. At that moment one of them snatched the pin, and thinking it was a great prize, had no thought of taking any¬ thing else. It is a safeguard, and I would not travel with valuables in a strange ooautry without one.” For Others.— Haudsome fortunes have been made in tho Kennebec ice i business, but the mau who showed the I Keunebeckers how to do it, who intro | duced Kennebec ice to the world and ; gave it the first boom, is to-day not i worth » dollar. Lessons in Calc Raking. Even if one does not expect to devote time to cake-baking, it is wise to be prepared for emergencies and be able to instruct an incompetent servant, or even to do the work if occasion de¬ mands it. There are some general rules which must be followed if success is to be cer¬ tain, and which apply to the making of any kind of cake. Deep earthenware bowls are the best for mixing cake in, and heavy tin pans or earthenware dishes should be used to bake them in. If the latter are used, tin funnels should be set in the middle of the dish. A small bottle filled with water will answer in place of the tin fun nel, but the latter is preferable, and can be bought or made to order at any tin shop. The bottom of pans should be Uned with heavy paper, and both paper an< * sides of the pans, as well as the funnel, well battered. oven must be in just the right ori ^ er ^ or baking when the cake is set ^ Too hot, the cake burns, or a C / nst f formed ° ver th ® ^ bef °, re ha ; 3 Time to rise and unsightly cracks ^ The result.

Many cakes are spoiled in the baking after they have been mised correc tly. They must be ffi07ed aronnd as little as p08sible after they are 8et in the OV0U . a saJden jftr will make bad what wonld otherwise baV e been a good cake. The oven door must bo opened seldom, and kept open but a minute at a time. The change in the temperature of the oveu caused by keeping the door open too long will often cause a cake to fall. Cake with fruit in it requires to be baked longer than one without, and must be well steamed before it is taken out. It is a good plan to open the oven door when the cake i3 baked, and let it stay in the oven until cold. To tell when a loaf of cake is done, hold the pan up to the ear ; if a singing sound can be heard, the cake is not baked enough. Or plunge a broom straw through the thickest part of the loaf; if the straw comes out clear of dough, the cake is done. It is well to take a bunch of straws off of a new broom, and lay them away in a conve¬ nient place to use for this purpose; there is something not exactly attractive about pulling a splint from a broom that has been used on dusty floors to test a cake with. Tho English Square. In the attack upon the English square the Arabs iu the engagement at Metem neli did not show tho resolute cour¬ age which they had displayed at Abu Klea. Their defeat and severe iosses in that engagement had seriously damped their ardor, and the disaster to the cen¬ tre of their lino at the very beginning of their assault appears to have utterly dazed them. Not an Arab succeeded in getting within 30 yards of the British square, and the yells aud shouts with which they began the assault wero quickly checked when their line was broken. Their losses were very heavy, 5 Emirs and 250 men being left dead on the field, while the wounded Arabs aro estimated at about 2,000. Among the nemy were several slaves, a number of whom surrendered to the British. They slated that tlxe Mabdi sent them from Khartoum. During the attack on the square but G English soldiers were killed and but 23 wounded. Capt. Nor¬ ton worked the heavy guns of the British during the battle, and they did terrible execution under his direction. The total British loss during tho dav was 20 killed and 60 wounded. Lords Airlie and Somerset aud Col. Burleigh, special correspondent of the London Telegraph, are among the wounded. Several prisoners were taken by the British, all of whom said that the enemy was sent from Khartoum by the Mahdi, aud that tho force which attacked thv, English at Abu-Klea was the advance guard of t he arm y defeated on the 19th.
