SELECT MISCELLANY,
The Higher Civilization.
Mrs. House shot her husband, the divorce
lawyer. One of the brothers, Brad House,
came on to New Jersey to get evidence to
hang the murderess. He fell in love with her
and wanted to marry her. But she seemed
to think it not altogether decorous, so soon
after killing his brother Orson. Another
brother fell also in love with the charming
widow, but there was a little obstacle in the
way, as he had a wife already. She therefore,
advised him to study theology and come out
as a preacher of righteousness. The sisters
of the murdered man also fell in love with the
fascinating murderess, and although they did
not propose marriage like the two brothers,
Brad and Gerrit,they wrote her sweet letters,
and one of them staid in jail to comfort her.
Here is what she wrote about the loving sisters
to Gerrit House;
“I got a kind letter from Cettie and Tirzah
(Orson’s sisters), and I see they wish, as you,
that I should cement our relationship by an
additional union with your family. I thank
all for their proof of love and confidence, if it
really is, as you ssy, your heartfelt wish that
you also would marry me, and have no fear;
it is a flattery I fear Kate (Gerrit’s wife) won’t
appreciate in you.”
“Cettie has no rest or comfort—all she did
get was when she was in jail with me sleeping
on my cot beside me with hands holding mine.
She kissed my hands over and over again,
Gerrit; so yon know she did not blame ; but
I want you, whatever comes, not to give way
or grieve. Remember lam able to bear any
thing myself—that is from Orson’s life or
death apart. It is sweet to know it is from
him.”
Our late enemies boast of their “higher civ
ilization,” and while we will not acknowledge
that it is higher, we will admit that it is dif
ferent. AVe don’t believe that anywhere in
the South two men could be found willing to
propose marriage to the murderess of their
brother, especially if one of them was already
married. Nor could two sisters be found who
would caress the hand red with the blood of
a brother.— Gen. D. H. Hill's Southern Home.
Chemistry of the Fattening Process.
A lean cow or ox is in a very different con
dition, chemically considered, from fat ani
mals of the same kind. In the first place the
poor animal consists of about two-thirds water,
the fat one of only half, that is in total weight.
A fat animal is in a dry* condition, a poor ani
mal is like some of our bog meadows, very
wet. When the fattening process begins,
water commences to disappear, and fat or
suet takes its place; and the increase in bulk
during the process is largely* of adipose mat.
ter. It is acurious circumstance that, during
fattening, the proteids, or nitrogenous conv
pounds, increase only about seven per cent.,
and the bone material, or inorganic substance,
only one and a half per cent.
The cost to a farmer of fattening an ox is
much greater at the close of the process than
at the commencement; that is, increase in bulk
or dry weight at that period is much more
costly. If it costs three cents a pound for
bulk for the first month after a poor animal
is put in the fattening stall, it will cost five
cents the last month. If, then, a farmer con
sults his money interests, he will not carry
the increase in fat beyond a certain point,
provided he can turn his partially fatted ani
mals to fair advantage. Fanners have, per
haps, learned this fact from experience and
observation, and hence comparatively lean
beef abounds in our markets. While this is
of advantage to the farmer, it is very disad
vantageous to consumers of the beef, for the
flesh of a fat animal in every case is much
richer in fixed, nourishing material than that
of the lean, and it is never good economy to
purchase lean beef. It is better to purchase
the poorest parts of a fat animal than the best
of a lean one. The best piece of a fat ox (the
loin), contains from twenty-one to twenty-eight
per cent, more fixed material than the corres
ponding piece in a lean one, and curiously
enough the worst piece in the lean animal
(the neck), is the richest in nourishing mate
rial. The flesh of the neck improves very lit
tle in fattening, hence, economy considered,
it is the best portion to purchase, as its value
is in a measure a fixed one.
Horse flesh is as nutritious, considered as a
food, as that of the ox or cow. The relation
of nitrogenous to fixed material is rather high*
er in a horse than in an ox, and the amount
of water is less. There is no good reason
why horse flesh should not be used as food.
It is prejudice alone which prevents its em
ployment. It is a regular article of sale in
the meat markets of Paris at the present time

Thrice Married and Thrice Divorced.
ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE CASES ON RE
CORD.
Galesburg, 111., October 24.—A remarkable
case, in which the same parties have been
three times married and three times divorced,
occupied the court on yesterday. The com
plainant, Helen M. Baker, is 28 years of age,
fine looking, and the daughter of the late Dr.
Spalding. The defendant, Marion Teralbia
Baker, is 32, and connected with the best fam
ilies of this city. The young couple were first
married in Knoxville, Illinois, November 15,
1865, and supported on both sides by wealthy
and influential friends, their prospects of hap
piness made them the envy of all. However,
in April, 1865, only six months after mar
riage, Helen filed a bill agninst Teralbia, ask
ing for divorce on the grounds of extreme
cruelty*. Divorce was granted the June fol
lowing, and Helen rejoiced in her maiden
name a few months only*, when on January 8,
1867, she and Teralbia met by chance in Chi
cago, repented with tears and were married
the second time, and took up their residence
in Galesburg. A daughter was born in March,
1868. On the 2d day* of December, 1872,
Mrs. Baker again filed a bill for divorce on
grounds of desertion, asking for the custody
of her child. The decree was granted in
February, 1873, according to the prayer of
the bill. On the 3d day of December follow
ing the same parties were again married, as
the complainant states, she hoping to spend
the remainder of her days with the defendant.
The couple received congratulations and
presents fr.om friends, who trusted they would
be able to keep all their good intentions. Au
gust 4, 1876, Mrs. Baker again, for a third
time, filed a bill for divorce on grounds of
desertion and cruelty. The decree was gran
ted yesterday, and the custody of the daughter,
some seveu years old, was given to the
mother.
She Didn’t Mind his Buzzing.
A Covington drummer, celebrated for the
enormous quantity of “ cheek” in his posses
sion, started a few mornings ago on the Ken
tucky Central Railroad to “ buzz” the people
of the interior of Kentucky. He gracefully
glided into the ladies’ car, and with an air of
serene self-satisfaction squatted himself on a
seat partially occupied by* a damsel of sweet
sixteen. She was fair as a lily* and blushing
as a rose. In a few moments, with well sim
ulated modesty*, he turned toward the voting
lady, and in gentle accents mentioned the
deliciousness of the weather, the bright face
of the sky and the charming appearance of the
landscape. She replied with a look tinged
with astonishment, and a peculiar “ giggle.”
Nothing daunted, he continued the conver
sation, and -‘supposed she was returning
from a trip to the Centennial, and prepared
to delight her friends with thrilling accounts
of its beauties and glories.” Another giggle.
“Perhaps. Miss (pray do not consider me im
pertinent or obtrusive), you are on your way
to someone of the female institutions of
learning for which the grand old common
wealth of Kentucky is so justly celebrated.”
Another giggle. The drummer paused a
moment, and quietly approaching the conduc
tor, who was standing at the other end of the
car, inquired of him who was the fair lady by*
whose side he had been seated, strongly inti
mating that he believed she was endeavorin'*
to “give him away*.” “Why, you blamed
fool,” replied the official, “she is deaf and
dumb.” The drummer took another car.—

the best way would be to offer a liberal re

An Irishman’s friend having fallen into a
slough, the Irishman called loudly to another
for assistance. The latter, who was busily
engaged in cutting a log, and wished to pro

there i9 plenty of time,” said the other. “No,
there is not,” rejoined the first; “ I forgot to

"Jesus, Lover of My Soul.”
The brothers, John and Charley Wesley,
with Richard Pilmore, were one evening hold
ing a twilight meeting on the common, when
they were attacked by ft mob, and fled from
its fury for their lives. The first place of
refuge that they found, after having been for
some time separated, was a hedge row near
at hand, behind which they* hid a few minutes,
protecting themselves from serious injury by
the missils that fell like hail about them, by
clasping their hands above their heads, as
they lay with their faces In the dust. As
night drew on the darkness enabled them to
leave their temporary retreat for a safer one
at some distance. They found their wav at
last to a spring house, where in comparative
security, they* waited for their pursuers to
weary of seeking them. “Here they struck a
light with a flint stone,” dusted their soiled
and tattered garments, and after quenching
their thirst, bathed their hands and faces in
the water that bubbled from the spring, and
flowed away in a sparkling streamlet. Then
it was that Charley* Wesley was inspired to
write, “Jesus, lover of my sonl,” with a bit of
lead which he had hammered into a pencil.
These circumstances beautifully* illustrate
the hymn, giving to almost every* line a realty
that makes it peculiarly significant to every
Christian heart. They* had fled before their
enemies, and found shelter from danger, lie
sang:
“ Jesus, lover of mv soul.
Let me to Thy bosom fly*.”
Romance and Reality.
A certain gentleman, who lives on east
Orange street, returned home the other even
ing with a copy of the Register, and in it dis
covered the following item :
“Somehow a magnificent girl always mar
ries an insignifieent whiffet of a man, and a
very handsome fellow gets hold of an ugly*
woman.”
“There’s a good deal in that,” said A .
“I shouldn’t wonder if there was,” says
Mrs. A .
“Now, for instance,” said A , “you
used to call me handsome.”
“Yes,” said Mrs. A. “I know I did; but,
y*ou see, I had to flatter you.”
“Do you mean to call me an insignificant
whiffet, madam ?”
“No, sir; I only* want to say* that you
used to call me a magnificent girl.”
“I know I did ; but, confound you, a hand
some man has to compliment a homely* wo
man.”
Then lie went out on the back stoop and
meditated on the trials of life.— Netvark Reg.
Queen Victoria’s Dress of Spiders’ yvebs.
The Empress of Brazil has presented the
Queen of England with a dress the equal of
which has never been seen. It is woven of
spiders’ webs, and is. as may be imagined, a
work of art as regards quality* and beauty.
The handsomest silk cannot compare with it,
but it can only* be admired and hardly* imi
tated. There have already been many* such
attempts to make use of the threads spun by
spiders, but up to the present the experi
ments have not been satisfactory enough to
encourage any further efforts in this direc
tion. In the year 1710. it was discovered
that to make a piece of silk it would require
the webs of 700,000 spiders. The Spaniards
had already* tried to use the spider’s threads,
and made gloves, stockings, and other arti
cles of the sort, but even these were so trou
blesome and yielded so little profit that, in
spite of the fabulous prices paid, they* were
obliged to abandon the trade. In certain
parts of South America garments made of
these threads are worn, but the spiders in
these lands are unusually large. It is likely
that the above mentioned dress was made of
the threads of the smaller species of Ameri
can spider. There is, therefore, some hope
that the time is not far distant when, thanks
to the progress of modern industry, fashion
able ladies may have the satisfaction of wear
ing elegant silks of the same delicate texture.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND—EFFECT OF A WAR—
UNRELIABILITY OF REPORTS.
London, November I. —The Times to-day,
in a financial article, says : “ Messrs. Elli
son & Company, of Liverpool, cotton brokers,
in their annual review of the cotton trade,
make a calculation, based on figures and past
experience, that Europe will next year require
2.241,000,000 pounds of cotton, or 5,602,500
bales. They estimate that the demand will
exceed the supply by 145,000 bales. If, how
ever. Europe continues unsettled, the demand
doubtless will be less and the probable sup
ply may exceed the estimates, as reports
from the United States frequently do not give
a fair idea of the actual state of facts at the
outset of the season.”
a dinner party there were two sisters
present, one a widow who had just emerged
from her weeds, the other not long married,
whose husband had lately gone out to India
for a short term. A young barrister present
was deputed to take the widow down to dinner.
Unfortunately, he was under the impression
that his partner was the married lady whose
husband had just arrived in India. The conver
sation between them began with the lady’s
remarking how extremely hot it was. “Yes,
it is very hot,” returned the young barrister.
Then a happy thought suggested itself to him,
and he added with a cheerful smile, "But not
so hot as the place to which your husband has
gone.” The look with which the widow an
swered this “happy thought” will haunt that
young barrister till the day of his death,
