The Morn ing News will begin next Sunday the publication of a very interest ing story by Miss S. Lucy Joyner, of North Carolina, entitled “Five Old Letters.” The story is a comparatively short one, but it will be well worth reading. The season of the Georgia watermelon is about over, and a very good season it has been. The growers made fair profits and consumers were furnished with remarkably fine melons. It is said that Ur. MoGlyun is about to lie come the editor of an evening paper in New York. He will not Is- an editor long lx>fnre he will regret that he ever got himself lifted out of the church. Tho wrinkles on Henry George’s ample brow will extend to the crown of his bald head before he succeeds in getting an office in New York as tho candidate of the United Labor party. However deep the contempt of the public may be for Jacob Sharp, the briber of the New York boodlers, nothing but the most, profound respect can be felt for Mrs. Sharp, who has shown a devotion to her convicted husband that is truly admirable. The President sent SSO to an old Buffalo acquaintance the other day who, with his family, had reached the condition of actual want, in Washington, frem sickness and other causes. Doubtless the President doos many acts of charity which never reach the public. The canned fruit prevaricator is trying to impress the public with the belief that the supply of canned fruits will be very short next winter, and that now is the time to buy them. This prevaricator has been heard from so often that he succeeds only in being amusing. The red headed and cross-eyed men of Canada are very indignant at being taken for MeGarigle, the Chicago liondlor, who sought the Dominion to escape the poniten tiary a short time ago. The unfortunate Canadians who resemble the boodler will be compelled to have their hair dyed to escape annoyances. The New York Il’orW asks: Must the swallow-tail go? and comes to the conclusion that it must, for the reason that its lease of popularity lias already boon re markably long. It is probable that it will not go immediately, however, and there is therefore no occasion for young society men who have just supplied themselves with anew swallow tail to tie uneasy. The Kentucky tobacco growers talked quite savagely to the Commissioner of Agri culture, Mr. Coleman, and tho man who does his figuring for him, the other day, lie cause of his estimates of the tobacco crop. But it remains to be seen whether the eom miwioner’s figures are not incorrect If they prove to be about right, will the Ken tuckians apologize to him? Secretary Fairchild is well satisficxl with his plan for preventing stringency in the money market through accumulations of the surplus in the treasury. He is proving himself to be a much abler financier than it ■was thought he would bo when he was ap pointed. It is not easy to judge correctly of a man’s abilities until lie is given a chance to show how much brains he really has. The eccentric Mrs. Weltlia A. Emmons, who a few months ago creat<si such a sen sation in Washington, D. 0., is now making the proprietors of hotels at the suburban summer resorts in tho vicinity of that city unhappy by applying to them for accom modations. They are afraid to permit her to become an inmate of their houses for fear that she will act as if she were in an insane asylum. Bnrah Althea Hill, who undertook to get, a portion of the vast wealth of the late Senator Slmron, of California, by means of a suit for divorce, claiming that she woe his wife, is making it evident that tho death of the defendant and her inurriitgo are not a bar to further proceedings in such a suit. Sarah Althea Is determined to have a portion of the dead Senator's estate, if there is any possible way of getting it. j The newspapers which are trying to make it appear that President Cleveland’s boom is not a very substantial 0:10 are making a grave mistake. The invitations from dif ferent cities of the country to visit them this full show that it rests uponasobd foun dation. When it is seen wliat kind of re ceptions ho receives in the South and West on his October tour, whatever doubts the soreheads may have will quickly disappear. The Socialist editor, Shevitch, who tried to convert Henry George to Socialism on the way to the Syracuse convention, is not without a certain amount of wit. He likens Henry George's effort, to catch the farmer vote with his land-tax theory to fishing for trout with a lively young tiger for bait. Socialist Shevitch may amuse himself at the expense of Henry Ooorgc, but if he isn’t careful be will rouse the great American which will not leave enough of llim and his follow Socialists for taut. A Word to Advertisers. The spec ial Trade Edition of the Morning News, containing a review of the city’s commerce for the post year, will be issued on Sept. 3. It will more fully represent the trade of Savannah than any previous trade edition. It will contain tho advertisement of nearly every important mercantile, manufacturing and corporate interest in the city, and will lie a revelation to those who are not familiar with the variety and extent of the business undertakings which have made Savannah about tho most pros jierous of the commercial cities of the South. Suvannah is known throughout the com - meroial world. Her name is a well-known one in all tho marts of trade. Her markets are quote,! wherever trading is done. Tho world is interested in her rice, cotton, naval stores ami lumber, and steamers from every quarter of the globe seek her wharves for cargoes. But Savannah has an immense trade of which very little is known outside of a certain territory, and concerning which many of hor own citizens are not well informed. This is her wholesale trade in general merchandise, which extends throughout Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. There is no better way of showing the greatness, variety and prosperity of Savan nah’s trade intere -ts than in the advertising columns of her lending newspaper. To make this showing as attractive and bene ficial as possible the Morning News has endeavored for its Trade Edition to secure the advertisement of every individual, firm nn<l corporation doing business in the city. Business men and others interested in the city’s prosperity can send a paper of this kind ‘to correspondeqte and friends with a feeling of pride as an indication of the city’s prog ress and prosperity. Advertising of this kind can only bo done in the home paper, because in the home paper it is looked for. The various methods of advertising outside of well-established newspapers do not benefit advertisers. Money spent on them is wasted. They do hot attract the attention of those whose at tention is desired. The well-known news paper which circulates in tho territory from which trade comes, and which has the con fidence of tho jieopio of that territory, can oloue do for advertisers what they want done. Tlie aim of the advertiser is to read) new customers and to retain old ones; and in what better way can ho do that than by using, as a medium of communication, a newspaper which goes into every household and counting house of the section of coun try to which ho looks for his t rado ? To advertise in any other than the recog nized mediums of the communities which it is desired to address has long since been abandoned by those who have made adver tising a study, and who, therefore, know how- to obtain the best results for their money. The Morning News Trado Edi tion and Annual Review is an advertising medium of the recognized ami long estab lished kind. It makes its appearnnee regularly every year, and every year the effort is to make it more completely a full and fair exhibit of the city’s business and development. A copy is always sidit to every subscriber to the daily mid weekly paper, and to thous ands of other people who are directly or in directly interested in Savannah, by mer chants who take largo numbers of copies of the edition. The Morning News desires to have every business in Savannah repre sented in its columns this year, and any advertiser who may have been missed by the solicitor, or who may have been called upon and declined to advertise, but who has changed his mind, will be waited upon at his request. The prices of advertising in this mammoth Trade Fxtition are the same as those for the other editions. Russia’s Unchanging Purpose. The thrifty Germans may decry the credit of the Russian bear. but. though he moves slowly, he never relinquishes terri tory once acquired. For 300 years he has been moving steadily toward a southern sea. Mountaias are not insurmount able obstacles; and warlike tribes that have turned back the adventurous Briton, have yielded to Russian diplomacy and valor. Russian Czars have not, turned from tho early policy of terri torial accession. The map of Europe is constantly changing, hut Russia holds her own and absorbs. For three cent uries the end and aim of Russia has been to inarch her armies through India to the sea, where her navies may ride unfettered by the ice which locks them up in northern waters. It looks as if the time would not long be delayed to strike tlio blow. Her railroads extend to the mountain gateway to India, and she is almost ready to precipitate the struggle. Englund disturbed liy her domestic affairs, France and Germany ready for a duel to the death, Austria trembling for the result. Turkey vacillating with England—Bulgaria is tho mere excuse for Russia to move when she will and occupy whore she can. This century is not likely to close before a general Europcun war will make Russin and France tho dominating powers, or do price thorn of much of their present prestige. It is reported that the Sanitary Board, at its meeting on Monday, censured the Morn ino News for its article on the Bills) canal. If it did why didn't it give out its prtxssslings for publication? The reporter for the MornrNO N kws asked for the Board's action, hut wasn’t told anything about a resolution of censure. If there were such a resolution why not let the public have it ? This practice of public servants sitting with cloned doors ought to lx- abolished. The people have a right to know what their ser vants do. Tho Morning News tries to do what is for the public good, and wlint it does the public knows. John W. Mackay who, it is alleged, lost $3,000,000 In trying to corner California wheat during the latter part, of July and the first part of August, doubtless feels, since he rocciVod his apfiomtment as an officer of the Legion of Honor of France, that gold is not the only desirable thing in life. When wearing his red ronotto and diamond cross he can truthfully say that his life has not been altogether a failure i TTIE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1887. Schemes of the Socialists. A Western man, who denies that he is a Socialist, announces that he intends to form a party which shall strive to make the gov ernment “truly paternal.” He explains that lie believes it to tx the duty of tho (State to provide for all the wants of its citizens. He says that the theory that gov ernment was intended only for tho protec tion of life, liDirty and property was ex ploded long ago, anil that nobody but a “primitive fool” at this day advocates it. In this country the State nndei-takes inter nal improvements and provides education for tho children of its citizens. It should go much further and provide shelter, fool, clothing, business—indeed, everything that men now acquire by individual effort. In addition, he believes the State should be charged with the duty of rearing the young, because he d<>es not think that men and women who linvo been brought up by their parents can be entirely independent. Of course, with views like these, be also believes that, all marriage laws should bo abrogated. This man’s denial that he is a Socialist amputit* to nothing. His doctrines not only make him a Socialist, as the term is generally understood, hut they make him one of the most dangerous of that class of deluded people. It is not probable that the government of this country, or of any one of tho States, will ever beeomo as “truly paternal” as the Socialists wish it to be. It is probable, how ever, that tho country will experience greater trouble with them than tho majority of its people believe. Recent occurrences in more than one State have shown that tho Socialists have quite largely increased in number, and it is easy to be seen that they grow Gilder in their demands everyday. The cause of their boldness is the temporiz ing imlicy with which they are treated. The desire not to interfere with free speech leads tho legal authorities to take little, if any, notice of what tho Social ists say, although some of the utterances of the latter havo repeatedly been of tho mo3t incendiary character. Not only is this true, but even when Socialistic riots have oc curred the participants have not been promptly and adequately punished. There ought to tie a change. If the present law's are not sufficient to compel these misguided people to respect the government, then oth ers that will Ixi sufficient should lx) enacted. It is better to prevent an evil than to pro vide a remedy after it has worked injury. Society In Cities. It has often been remarked that a man may hide hitnself much more effectually in a great city than anywhere else. This no doubt is true, hut it would seem impossible, even in a great city, for a man to marry two women and live in soparate residences with each, concealing his crime not only from his dupes but from all his acquaint ances. Nevertheless, Michael Herford, of Cincinnati, did this for several years, and doubtless would havo continued to do it had not one of his dupes decided to seek anew residence. Nino years ago Herford married a woman whom he met in the City Hospital. Tho couple did not live together pleasantly, but the w'ife never for a moment suspected that her husband had another wife. A few days ago she started out to find a residence that would suit her better than the one in which she was living. Suspended from a door in a building she chanced to enter she observed a sign bearing the name of Michael Herford. Sh passed into the room and found a woman who introduced herself as Mrs. Herford. A stormy sceno ensued, during which it was developed that the second wife had been living with Herford a mmilxir of years. Subsequently Herford was arrested on the charge of bigamy, and, in the course of time, lie will doubtless be duly punished. The case is interesting, not merely because it illustrates how easily a man may hide himself in a great city, but also because it throws light upon the condition of society there. There is no doubt that crime like that of Herford’s is more frequent in cities than in the country, and it is true, also, that as a whole society in cities is more corrupt than it is in the country. It Is not necessary to ex plain why this is so. Tho fact suggests, how ever, that there is always need in cities for the utmost vigilance upon tne part of tho authorities. It suggests, too, that every possible safeguard should be thrown around the young by those charged with the task of rearing and training them. Opportunities for going asti*iy are continually being presented to the young in cities, and only unceasing watchfulness will prevent them from being used. Parents and guardians would do well to keep their children and wards near enough themselves not to lose their hold upon them. The opposite course is almost sure to cause shame and distress. Lawyer Tom R. Dunn, who is in a New York jail on a civil process, and who, it is alleged, advised the defaulting teller, Scott, of the Manhattan Bank to steal $1,000,000 and make his wav to Canada, appears to he very contented in his prison quarters. It is claimed that he has SIOO,OOO of the stolen money, and there is not much prospect at present that he will let go his grip upon it. He knows the law thoroughly, nnd it is not improbable that he will keep his mouth closed and permit the law to take its course. He has twenty days from the time he was arrested in which to file his answer in the Supreme Court. If he does not file any an swer at all within that time, the bank will take judgment by default, and the Sheriff will have sixty days in which to levy upon any property belonging to the prisoner. At tho end of tbit time, Mr. Dunn still remaining silent, and lie finds no property, lie must return the judgment unsatisfied, when the execu tion may be taken against the person of the defendant—that is, Mr. Dunn. Then he can be confined for six months, after which he must lie released, oven without an appli cation on liis own part. In other words, Mr. Dunn cannot he held in jail after those six months unless Scott should venture be fore the grand jury to testify against him. The prospect that Scott will put himself in the .clutches of justice in order to testify against Dunn is very remote. By keeping his mouth shut, therefore, he may not only retain the bank’s money but also be set at. liberty. The coal monopolists of Pennsylvania are showing their deep concern for the interests of American workingmen by continuing to import pauper labor from Europe under contract. They will be found in the lobbies of the capitol at, Washington next winter, demanding, in aggressive language, the con tinuance of the present high protective tariff for the sole benefit of American working men. How vory disinterested these monop olists are! There is but little change in cx-Socrctnrv Manning’s condition, what little there is being in the UirecUou of improvement. CURRENT COMMENT. Rather Strange. From the New Orleans Picayune <Dem.) Strange as it may seem, wheu the odds are against a man it is hard for him to get even. His Frequent Returns. From the Boston Transcript (Rep.)

Birmingham landlords seein to have heard of an i approved the methods of the Nashville ice pool, and they are making a systematic effort to increase their rents severul fold for the com ing season. Yanked Into Greatne33. From the Shelbyi'ille (Jnd.) Democrat (Dem.) It is a dangerous experiment to place a young man of parts in a position that is calculated to give him the hig-nead. If Riddlelxirger had climbed upstairs by his own efforts and l>een a score of years on the way, instead of being valiked upstairs bv Mahone, he would have been an ornament, instead of a disgrace, to the Senate.

OPIUM IN IOWA. An Assertion That There Are 10,000 Victims in That State. From the Davenport Democrat. A newspaper paragraph ha* bt*m seen in many of the State exchanges which states that there are 10,000 victims of the opium habit re ported in lowa by the State Board of Health. Under date of Aug. 11, Secretary Kennedy wrote to the Democrat Jiazette that tJiocurrent report was evidently based on an investigation made by Dr. Hull, formerl}* a member of the board. It originated in a paper prepared by the doctor, which was published in the last biennial report. Secretary Kennedy says in reference to the statement before alluded to that 10,000 cases of the opium habit haw been rep |ted the! tht*re is abundant reason for believing the number of victims of the habit is far in excess of that given. He adds that it is exceedingly difficult to get the facts against the objection of drug gists and the concealment of the victims. l)r. Hull says that “opium is to-day a greater curse than alcohol, and justly claims a greater num ber of helpless victims which do not tall come from the ranks of reckless men and fallen women, but the majority of them are to be found among the educated and the most honored and useful members of society; and, as to sex. we may count out the prostitutes so much given to this vice, and still find females far ahead, so far as numbers arc concerned. ” A Story of Bishop Simpson. * An incident showing his gifts is related by his uncle. Late one Saturday night he arrived at a town in the mountainous regions of Pennsyl vania, where he was a total stranger. The next morning he made his way to the Methodist church, and accosted the pastor, telling him he was a brotner iti the ministry. Simpson being extremely awkward and plain in appearance, the pastor was half inclined to omit the cour tesv due a brother preacher, of asking him to deliver a sermon. If he inquired of the bishop as to his name lie must have failed to catch it, for he certainly had no idea to whom ho was speaking. His request for the stranger to preach was therefore expressed in the most formal and constrained manner. The stranger readily agreed to ffll the pulpit, and the pastor's chagrin wus evident, as he resigned himself to his fate. The bishop preached one of his power fill sermons, and everybody in the audience whispered to his neighbor, “Who is he?” Before he had taken his seat, the pastor had him by the hand. “What did you say your name was?” “Simpson.” “What! Not the bishop?” ‘ That is what they call me.” The minister instantly sprang to his feet and shouted, “You have just had the privilege of listening to Bishop Simp son. Let us sing, ‘Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow.’ ” Our Quarrel. Once we came to the end of the world, You and I and love together; Over us wings that flashed and whirled, Under our feet the fading heather. Naught beyond in the viewless void But shadow and shadow and still a shade. And ever behind us time destroyed The whirling wings with his gleaming blade. ‘‘Alas!” 1 cried, “for the beautiful dream. And the sheltering wings that love held o'er us; Now we have choice of the blue steel's gleam, And the sheer blade silence lying before us.” Low laughed love, ami 1 looked in your face, Looked and turned and laughed aloud, Foryour smile had lighted the desolate place And love had shattered the formless cloud. Blre at our feet lay the summer sea, Far behind us the whispering heather, Alone at the end of the world were we, You and I and love together. So with a song we came back again, And the bright blade over us flashed and whirled, But it threatened love's sheltering wings in vain, That failed us not at/the end of the world. —l>. J. Kobertson. Borrowed Plumage. From the ('hiracto Herati. In a small jewelry store them escaped the solution of a sH.*ret that has puzzled many this season. No one going to Long Braneh has failed to observe the plenty of diamonds on ordinarily dressed women. This jeweler's store is insig nificant, hut he lias a good watch repairer, whose services are often enlisted to tinker dam aged mainsprings or fractured crystals. But if the exhibition of goods is modest, the natty little proprietor can take out of his pocket any day a handful of fine diamonds. As I stood ad vising with him relative to a mainspring that had gone off that morning like an insane coffee mill or a lunatic alarm clock, a dapper man came in and handed over some cases. The new coiner produced a note book and read: “Mrs. .Jones wsnts that aigrette for Thursday night.” and “Miss Smith will take a solitaire ring and earrings for the week for $10" “Can’t do it,” said Mr. Sparks; “not less than $30.” So the man wrote it down in his book. Then he paid so much for Mrs. Jones, so much for Miss White and Mrs. Brown. “The Browns go to Saratoga,” he said, and will have both those sets for week after next; so don’t let 'em for more than this week.” Here I got interested, and asked: “Do you let out jewelrv?” “T should say so,” said he. “I must have SIOO,OOO worth of stones on hire in Long Branch and Saratoga this season.” “Isn't it risky?” “Oh, bless you, I have security. The lady who has had this set (he took one of the re turned cases and showed a splendid pair of ear rings and a bar pin) left a Treasury note of SI,OOO as collateral. I have an agent in both places to look after my interests, and I assure you that it's a paying branch of my business. ' The Uncertainty of a Conductor's Life. From the Chicago Mail. “Railroads do not often reinstate a man after he lias been bounced,” said a veteran of the rail to me, as we were thundering along his road. A passenger conductor is generally one who has been promoted from the brakes. Some times an engineer is made a conductor, but you will find these things an exception. Companies like to keep good engineers at the throttle. They had rather give them more pay than to promote them. Asa rule it is first a brake man on a freight, then to the same place on a pas senger, then conductor on a freight, and by and by to the passenger train by mighty" slow roaches. Many a passenger conductor has to work as “an extra” for two years or more be fore he gets a train of his own. And then, when the coveted place is in sight, he has a wreck, and if he hasn't a mighty good case, and oc *a>tonally Influence, begets bounced. Then he has to go to some other road and begin at the bottom. 1 know a man who has wonted up in this way for ten years. The very first run he had with his regular train there was a smash up. and after the investigation he was fired. He had saved up about $1,500.

I remembered no more until I woke up in tne morning in a strange place. The lirst thing I saw was my companion of the night before me going stealthily through my pockets.

Ex-Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, has been lecturing for a year. “He entered the lecture field,” says the New York Freeman (negro or gan), “on a suggestion of the late* Henry Ward Beecher. He found the work very congenial, and Lis success has been all that he and his friends could have desired.” The Winnemucca (Ncv.) Silver State says: “A 1 and of Shoshones arrived here a few days ago with several hundred dollars for the purpose of enraging in a gambling bout with the Piutes. Usually the Bh< sbones take away more money than they bring with them, but this time the rule was reversed, and they lost all their coin and blankets.” Mrs Sadie Wilson, a widow with four little children, went from Glemvood, Mo., to Cincin nati. to collect $535 w hich her brother owed her, and which was all the property she had.

Royal In firmary, sacrificed his life in an effort to save a patient. About a fortnight ago a man was ad mitted to the infirmary suffering from an affec tion of the throat, supposed to lie diphtheria. The operation of tracheotomy was performed by Dr. Lysaght; but. the tube becoming choked, the last chance of saving the man's life was for someone to apply his lips to the tube and suck the moisture.

The liability of the tree to be blown down on account of its bushy top causes windfalls which sometimes cover considerable areas, over which fires rage furiously. The lateral roots run near the sur face to a great distance, and when the tree is blown down they bring up large masses of earth. In a windfall, the trunks, tops and the clumps of earth brought up by the roots form a tangle through which one can make only little progress. Two days of hard workw'ere required to get through three or four miles of a tract Mr. Jack was once inspecting. A Dublin correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes respecting the public schools in Ire land. He says the British government expends about $4.‘,’6\000 upon them annually, to which sum about sl.( 0),000 more is added from pri vate subscriptions. Tuition and books are practically free, and the number of children on the roll out of a population of 5.000,000 is about 1.000,000, with an average daily attendance as high as 06 to 75 per cent There are numerous institutions of higher grade, besides training schools, and in all the teaching and system of management is well designed and efficient, “The curriculum in all grades,” the correspon dent observes, “is fully up to, if not in advance <>f the standard in the United States.” There is not now a child in Ireland, it is held, who can not read or is not being taught. An atrocious military murder is reported from Bangalore. India. The native adjutant of the Twelfth Madras Infantry shot a Suhnhdar with a revolver and then fired at a Haviklar major, w'ho escaped. The murderer then barricaded himself in his own quarters, where w ere his wife and tw'o children and other female relations. The military authorities feared that any attempt to force an entrance might cause the death of the women, so they telegraphed to the com mander in-chlef for orders. The reply wap: “Try and take the murderer alive.” Next morning three shots were heard in th° house, and he called out that he had shot his wife. During the afternoon he let out the children and his mother-in-law. and then shot himself. The house was then forced, and the murderer and Ids wife were both found dead. It is believed that jealousy was the cause of the crime. Last year a private in the same regiment shot a Subahdar. At Nnrrngansett Pier the bathing costumes this season are models of beauty, of color and of brevity. The ordinary silk tights of the hal M are used, with the addition of a belt at the waist ami garters jnßt above or just below the knee, as the modesty of the wearer may sug ge<t. I say modesty advisedly, for it is tne cus tom (or the fashion), for this season only, for gmtlemen to adjust the garter whenever they become displaced by the waves, as they often do: and fnsnion also decrees that, for modesty's sake, tills very frequent task must lx*performed while the garter is below the water, out of sight of the vulgar, unbathing crowd that lines the shore.

It Is imp'rative that the color of the tights shall be the exact shade of the hair worn on t hat special occasion. Tights are to be changed as often as the hair. A tragical anoint!, which has a touch of romance about it, has Just occurred at tho prison of Karthnus, near Prague. A young soldier named Kazowsky was standing guard t here. In his early youth he hail lost his father, not through death, but in a far more melan choly way. His father had committed murder, been pronounced guilty and condemned to twenty yenrs' hard labor. The young son was then 8 years old, and Ids father's features re niained flnnlv Imprinted upon his memory, as well as the whole painful Impression of the event, which produced a severe shock upon his youthful mind. While standing sontry before the prison nt Kcrtluius, and seeing the convicts led post him on their wav to the open oh 1 , in* recognized in one of the hoary criminals his own father. He spoke no word, neither did lie dis cover hintself to his father, but. on being re lieved from his post he quietly loaded his gun mi l discharged n bullet at his head. Dying be confesst-d to hi- comrades the horrible discovery he had made, and which had driven him to seek his death at tiis own hands. Thk. inventor of the system of participating in the drawing of lottery bonds by means of a firnmeaxe or low-priced risk on the chance of gaining a prize was a Viennese by the name of Sothen. who, after having become a millionaire, was made a baron by the Emperor. He was murdered a few years ago by tils forester, and so great was the contempt in which Sothen, on account of his liard-heartodtirm, had be*m held by the people that the Etnneror commuted the death-sentence of his murderer, and that more than 10,000 florins were collected for his chil dren. Thisjhatred of Sothen, it seems, has I teen transferred even to Ills widow, an intense ly bigoted woman. whose castle near Vienna has been repeatedly set on lire. Th other day, just before a mass for the repose of Ids soul was to tv read, tho Harmless received by mull a package containing a crown of thorns, and tho following lines: "Accept this wreath ns n m•- tueiito of the death of your husband, who was one of the Itest and most tender heart-si of Christ intis. In the evening then- will' be fire works. " In spite of all pns'autionn, tie* castle was again the scene of a largo conflagration during the night. BAKING POWDER.
