The Chance of Struck by
lAfflitnfiitf.
The Hartford Courant has been figur
ing up the chances of being struck by
lightning, and arrives at the following
reassuring results . “Taking the figures
of’the last census report for our facts,
wc find that during the year 1870 there
were, in the whole country, 202 deaths
from lightning stroke. Let womankind
take notice that out of these 148 deaths
were of ma’es, and only 54 of females.
The total number of deaths from all
causes was nearly 500,000. There were
2,437 deaths from other causes to one
death from lightning, aud there were
190,884 persons living to every one
killed by this cause. It is somewhat
singular that the lightning was decided
ly more destructive with both males
and females between the ages of ten
and thirty years than with any others.
Between ten and fifteen years is the
most fatal time, but even then the num
ber is very small. Much comfort for
those still inclined to be timorous is to
bo found in going further back on the
record. The deaths by lightning in
1870 were only eleven more than in
1860, while tho population had increas
ed more than 7,000,000, and the rate is
declining in spite of the hasty conclu
sions formed by reading the news of a
day. In 1860 there were 48 deaths
caused by lightning out of every 100,-
000 deaths from all causes; in 1870
the rate was only 42. But now, while
only 202 persons died from lightning
stroke in 1870, there were 397 deaths
from sun-stroke,or nearly twice as many.
Yet the number of persons who shuddeer
when they see the sun rise would bear a
small ratio to those who shudder at the
rising of a thunder cloud. The rate of
deaths by sun stroke has declined dur
ing the decade from 91 to 81 in 100,-
000 deaths from all causes; aud with
the increase in care and information on
the subject is like to decrease still more,
but it will always probably be largely
in excess of the lightning rate. It is
also, noticeable that there were 1,345
deaths by suicide, while there were only
202 deaths by lightning—in other words
an individual is six times as iikely to kill
himself as lightning is to kill him.”
What Hen Need Wives For.
It is not to sweep the house, and
make the bed, and larn socks, and
cook the meals, chiefly that a man wants
a wife. If this is all ho needs, hired
help can do it cheaper than a wife. If
this is all, when a young man calls to
sec a young lady, send him into the
pantry to taste the bread aud cakes she
has made; send him to inspect thp
needle work and bed making, or put n
broom into her hand and send him to
witness its use. Such things aro im
portant, and the wise young man will
quickly look after them.
Tut what the true man wants of a
true wife is her companionship, sympa
thy, courage and love. The way of
life has many dreary plaoes in it and
man needs a companion to go with him.
A man is sometimes overtaken with
misfortune; he meets with failure and
defeat; trials and temptations besot
him, and he needs one to stand by and
sympathize. He has some stern bat
tles to fight with poverty, with enemies
and with sin; and he needs a woman
| that, while he puts his arms around her
j and feels that he has something to fight
for, will help him fight; that will put
her lips to his ear and whisper words
of counsel, and her hand to his heart
and impart new inspirations. All
through life, through storm and through
suushine, conflict and victory, through
adverse aud favoring winds, man needs
a woman’s love. The heart yearns for
-it. A sister’s or a.mother’s love will
hardly supply the necJ
Yet many seek for nothing more
than success iu housework. Justly
enough, half of these get nothing more;
the other half, surprised above measure,
1 have gotten more than tlioy sought.
Their wives surprise them by bringing
a nobler idea of marriage, aud disclos
ing a treasury of courage, sympathy and
love
TWO HOLLARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
THE PERSECUTION OP JONES.
Wc havo no other authority for it
than Jones himself, and therefore can
not vouch for its truthfulness. Jones
told us that ho was persecuted nearly
to death somo timo ago by a sewing
machine agent, who wanted him to make
a purchase. Unable at last to endure
tbe persistence of the man, Jones says
he‘ bought a diving-bell, and went out
four hundred miles from land and de
scended two miles into tho ocean to
spend a few days in peace. He had
hardly touched bottom wlierf he saw
the sewing-machine man coming dowu
iu the divers’ armor carrying with him
a shuttle-feed and sixty strong testimo
nials to the merits of his button-hole
attachment. Jones informs us that lio
suddenly rose to tho surface and pre
pared to sail homo; but just as the ship’s
anchor was being hauled over tho side,
itiell and upset tbe Look’s caboose>
scattering the live coals in the powder
magazine. This caused a terrific explo
sion, and Mr. Jones was blowu four
miles upward into tho air. (This is
Jones’ statement, remember.) Just as
he began to come down ho met tke
sewing-machine solicitor coming up in
a balloon, with a bucketful of samples
of the lockstitch, and a model of his
patent reversible hernmer. When Jones
fell he was picked up, and ho sailed
straight for homo. As the vessel drew
near the dock Jones perceived the agent
standing on the wharf waiting for him
with a “noiseless button-hole attach
ment.” (We thought all button-holes
were necessarily noiseless; but Jotfcs
is responsible.) Thereupon Jones hid
himself in the cabin, and instructed the
captain to say to the agent that he,
Jones, had died of yeliow fever on the
voyage. When the sewing machine
man heard this he seized a copy of a
certificate from a clergyman’s wife, and
then blew out his brains with a pistol,
evidently determined to follow Jones
into the next world and sell him a ma
chine at all hazards. Wo give this for
what it is worth. We ouly know that
Jones was educated by his parents to
believe that it is wicked to tell a lie.

AN EXCITING SCENE.
The inhabitants of the Boulevard
Pereire, Paris, wero witnesses, a day or
two ago, of a chase of the most exciting
character. A distinguished velocipede
rider appears every day on this boule
vard, and performs remarkable feats in
that line of horsemanship. He had
just bestridden his bicycle, when cries
of “Out of the way ! Kill him ; kill
him !” resounded through tho streets.
Tbe foot passongers darted into tho
houses, closing the doors after them
with a crash, and tho velocipedist was
left alone on the road, along which
rushed an enormous dog, with staring
coat, inflamed eyes, and v ,/s bathed in
foam. The riiastiff, which was evident
ly mad, perceiving the bicycle aud its
unlucky rider, instantly bounded after
it, and a cloud of dust soon concealed
the details of the ohase. The veloci
pedist whirled his machine round and
round, taking as many turns as a hare,
but the horrible brute followed him
closely. At length, in despair ho dart
ed forward at full speed, when sudden
ly a cry of alarm burst from the spec
tators at the windows. Tho bicycle
had broken down and the rider had been
thrown sdnseless to the ground, whilst
tho dog, gathering up his remaining
strength, sprang towards him. But by
this time the police had headed the an
imal, aud ono of them cut off its fore
paws with ono stroke of his sword, just
as the furious beast w.as about to throw
himself upon bis victim, who soon awoke
from his swoon to find himself safe and
sound.

murderer of the widow Spelling and
her daughter, and of the recovery of
tho spoils of his fearful crime, upward
of twenty years after it had boon com

In July, 1852, the police of Amster
dam saw on the door of the house on
Harlem street, whore Catherine Spell
ing lived with her daughter Dorothy,
a notico to tho effect that tho two wo
men had gone to the country. This
notice aroused no suspicions, but when
the old lady and her daughter did not
return -after the lapse of six weeks the
police entereu A fearful sight met
their eyes. The widow and her daugh
ter, with their throats cut from ear to
ear, were lying on tho floor in an ad
vanced state of decomposition, while
all the bureaus were rifled of their con
tents. It was ascertained that the
murderer had carried off diamonds,
money and bonds, amounting to nearly
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Time passed by and the double murder
was almost forgotten, until on tlic third
of July last the house in which the
crime bad been committed was torn
down. Between it and the adjoining
house was a space of about one foot in
width, and hemmed in there was found
a male skeleton. At the bottom of this
space lay a large leathern pocket con
taining the diamonds, tho money and
tho bonds of the murdered widow.—
This skeleton was undoubtedly that of
tho murdorer of the (wo women, who,
after assassinating them and bagging
his plunder, had tried to escape over
tho roof of the house, but, slipping his
foot, had fallen into the space between
the two buildings. Thero he mot with

death of slow starvation.

The Fate of Theodosia Burr-
One of the Saddest Tragedies
fn History.
- *
In yourediiiou of Tuesday,you hare
an article concerning tha daughter erf
Aaron Burr. She was, indeed, the good
angel of iliat misguided man, and to
.femes Parton we owe our knowledge of
her sweet and lovely character. There
is a mistery connected with h£r disap
pearance, aud, as you say, “tho vessel
never reached its destination; was never
heard from after leaving Charleston har-
bor.” With your permission, I will tail
you what I know of the matter. What I
am about to relate may be traditiooary
in a degree, but still may possess a pecu
liar interest to the reader. It was un
derstood. at the time, that the cause of
Theod'-sia’s coming North to her father
was becauso of the difference between
herself and husband regarding Barr.—
Theodosia defended her father’s actions,
while Governor Alston denounced them.
This was the cause of a separation—
Theodosia embarking *n a vessel for
New York, in the caro of a Mr. Gray,
a wealthy South Carolinian. She took
two of her children with her, also s
large quantity of family plato. Tid
ings of her departure reached New
York and her arrival was anxiously
looked for by the lonely old man. But,
alas! she nover cauie. The bereaved
father gave her up as dead; whether
the vessel foundered at sea, or what
happened they never knew. At this
time, my great grandfather, Philip Fre
neau, visited Burr. As he entered
the office, Burr met him, and grasping
his hands, said, “Mr. Freneau, I know
what you come for; I have received no
tidings ; I am desolate!”
As he spoke the tears gushed from
his eyes, and he cr[ed like a ohild.—
Freneau tried to reassure him, but to
no effect; the conviction that she wis
lost to him could not be shaken. Touch
ed by th'* grief of the wretched father,
Freneau afterwards senl him a poem,
entitled “Theodosia in the Morning
Star,” which was published in one of
tho early editions of his poems. Pe
prived of the only being who loved
him, friendless and alone, the old man
gradually sank, until death ended his
grief. Now comes- the mysterious part
of the sad story. I cannot vouch for
tho truth of it, as I hav9 been unable
to procure anything of a documentary
nature bearing upon the subject. Many
years ago, a notorious pirate, namod
Gibbs, was captured, brought to this
port and condemued to be hung and
gibbetted. On his condemnation ho
made a confession, and among other
crimes confessed to having captured
the vessel which contained Theodosia
Alston.’: Ho said that he received in
formation that a vessel intended leav
ing Charleston, having on board plato
of great value. He resolved to lay in
wait for her; h,e did so, and captured
the vessel, with all on board. In the
struggle for the possession of the ship
many of the orew and officers were kill
ed. Gibbs resolved to put the surviv
ors to death as the safest way of dis
posing of them. Mrs. Aiston begged
for tbe lives of herself and children ;
she offered him all the wealth she pos
sessed, and promised to secure him
from harm. She kneeled to him and
entreated him in the most beseeching
tones, but the pirate was inexorable.—
He said that if he saved them, he must
save the rest, and that he could not do..
He now forced them so “walk the
plank.” The turn of tbe two little
boys came, and, as they disappeared in
the sea, the mother firmly and proudly
stepped off tbe board to follow them.—■
Whether this is the true story of the
fate of Theodosia I did not know. If
there is a copy of Gibbs’s Confession in
existence, this incident wO’nM like
ly be mentioned. If true, it was wall
that Burr was spared tbe additional
pain of learning tbe mode of hie daugh
ter’s death. I give it for what it m~
worth. *
