Two Pious Women Swindled Out of a
Basket fill ot Billies.
Last Wednesday, as the Wes
tern-hound train of the Central
Pacific railroad arrived at Toano,
two women of the crusading class,
who had been travelling on the
train for some time, got off to see
if they could find cither sin or sin
ner to go for. They had with
them a basket filled with nice lit
tle Bibles, and with these, they
were going about doing good and
making money. While on the
train, they sold several Bibles
and talked about religion and rum
to every one who would submit
to he thus afflicted. As they
stepped off the train, bowed down
hv the weight of the basket, which
they carried between them, there
was a sigh of relief from the pas
sengers, and many a wish was ex
pressed that the train would move
off and leave llie.m. While wan

fill of saltpetre in a pail full of
water; put one pint of this around
each hill, shaping the earth so
that it won’t spread much, and
the thing is done. Use more salt
petre if you can afford it—it is
good for vegetable, but death to
animal life. The hugs burrow in
the earth at night, hut fail to rise
in the morning. It is also good
to kill the'” grub” in peach trees
—only use twice as much, say, a
quart or two to each tree. There
was not a yellow or blistered leaf
on twelve or fifteen trees to which
it ivas applied last season. No
danger of killing any vegetables
with it. A concentrated solution
applied to beans make them grow
wonderfully.

How Old Southall was Cured
of Suicide.
Old Ben Southall is about sixty-
five. He lives with his son-in-law,
aud, it is said, the old cuss has got a
temper like a bear poked up with a hot
pitchfork. He grunts and snarls
around at every thing and every body,
and there is no peace in the house
until his eyes and mouth are closed in
sleep. He took a new tack a few days
ago, and threatened to commit suicide
if 71 is whims were uot humored
family didn’t really think he Mould
do such a thing, but they weren’t sure,
aiid so they were rathet soft on him
for a few days. Saturday night he

and the family flatly refused to grati

but they were firm. Along in the
night he was heard groaning and rol

A lady, in reply to some gues.B
wound, having an attack of colic,
and the family roused up under the
idta that he had taken a deadly dose.
He wouldn’t say he hadn’t, ns he
wanted to have revenge on them. The
boy ran lor the doctor, the woman
hunted for mustard, and the son-in-
law dashed about after eggs, lie got
a couple, broke the whites into a tea
cup, and ordered the old man to open
his potato trap. Old man wouldn’t,
but lie was taken by the throat and
made to. The eggs were followed by
mustard, lie shut his gums together,
but the son-in-law sat down on him
and jabbed the end of a toothbrush
into his mouth until he opened it.
When tiie old man heard them call
for tepid wafer he said it wasn’t a case
of poisoning, but they rammed the
toothbrush at his glims again, and he
had to drink half a pint of warm water.
The son-in-law said he wasn’t going to
have his family disgraced by a suicide
in the house, and he shouted for more
eggs. The old man tried to beg off,
but they held his head, jerked down
his chin, and the eggs went down his
throat. While waiting for the doctor,
the son-in-law got the old man out of

hall with nothing on hut a long night

Cut his Throat.
Mr. Stanton resided in a large bouse,
onvenient to the departments. It
as one of his customs to be shaved at
home, and this duty was performed
by a colored barber, who came regu
larly for the purpose, In Mr. Stantons’
private apartment stood an improvised
having chair, and to these the trusty
valet would go at the appointed hour
to perform his duty. Mr. Stanton
ad been, apparently, failing gradually
in health for a we k, and had become
o dispondent as almost to excite fears
of an alteration of mind.—Some idea
of counteracting this seems to have
been in the minds of the President and
Congress when the appointment was
so suddenly made and.sopromptly con
firmed by an almost unanimous vote.
The remedy failed, however, of the
desired effect.
On the evening of the 2nd of De
cember, ,the colored valet called to
shave Stanton. They were left alone
in the private apartment, and Stan
ton took his scat in the chair The bar-
said, 'Well, I don’t care, seeing

were after, one of them seized it
with ' this is the boy.’ It was
