A Veteran’s Experience.
[Detroit Free Press ]
“Another boarding-house busted up,
l see “sighed a venerable Detroit land
lady, as slielaicl down berpaper. “Well,
it must have been extravagance on the
table. That’s what bankrupts seven
out of ten, and even then the boarders
are crying “hash!” and complaining of
poor meals.. New I run a boarding
house for twenty-two years, and made
money and heard no complaints. How
did 1 do it? Why, it’s all in planning.
For instance, a neck-piece of mutton
can be cut to look like a rib-roaM, and
a little extra fire makes it just as ten
der. Lord save you! I’ve been compli
mented a thousand times on my selec
tion of choice spring lamb when the
meat was mutton four years old, and
the toughest part at that! The idea of
spring chicken on a boarding-house ta
ble is absurd—aye! almost wicked. In
my palmy days I could lake a lough old
hen, pound the body with the potato
masher for ten minutes, and set before
my boarders a feast to make every heart
glad. Now I’ll venture that there ar
en't ten landladies in this city who can
bake a pig’s head and slice off the meat
in a manner to make everybody believe
that he has the choicest cut in a pig’s
body, and it’s a wonder to me that
there aren’t more failures - Lots of
landladies buy nice, fresh butter, and
thus tempt a man to eat five or six bis
cuits or half a loaf of bread. W hat
economy! I always had my nice butter
on the table at breakfast, when we bad
little but toast, and the boarders got
along on old butter the other two meals-
It is all in tlie planning, all in the plan
ning. Three mornings in the week I
bought sirloin which is very nice, you
know, and tlie other four mornings I
bought neck pieces and rubbed the
case-knives over the grindstone. Give
a boarder a sharp knife and a tough
steak, and he'll never make a complaint
—never. He’ll put the blame on his
teeth, and the more steak be leaves on
his plate the more rabbit pie you’ll
have for dinner.”

Sunk by a Sea Monster.
The Wonderful Story Told by Captain
Larsen—A Hole Knocked in His
Vessel by a Huge Something,
with Tail and Fins.
The steamship P. Calane, which ar
rived at New York from Rottendam,
Tuesday, had on board Capt. L. C. Lar
sen and the entire crew of a Norwegian
bark which was lost in mid-occau under
remarkable circumstances. Capt. Lar
sen’s story, which is fully corroborated
by his men, goes to show that the ac
counts which have been given to the
public from time to time of dangerous
sea monsters inhabiting the ocean, are
not wholly false. Either the original
sea serpent, or some powerful subma
rine creature of the same race, ran
into the bark Columbia on September
4, in lat. 47 deg. 32m., and lon. 43
deg. 54m., and injured that vessel so
that she sank within a short time after
she had been stiuck. The bark Colum
bia left London for Quebec, in ballast,
on August 8, and met with variable
weather until the minting of the 4th
int., when she was sailing at tho rate of
from six to seven miles an hour before
a fair wind. The sea was not very
rough, and the bark was carrying all
sail and heading westward. The cap
tain was on deck at five hells in morn
ing watch, when a tremendous shock,
which shook the bark from stem to
stern, was suddenly felt. The men who
were asleep in their buuks were awaken
ed, and, thinking that the foremast had
been carried away, sprang on deck.
Capt. Larsen and three of his men ran
to the port side and saw tho water dis
colored with blood, while the tail and
fins of the huge monster were seen
splashing about in tho sea, which had
become violently agitated on that side
of the vessel. At this moment one of
the crew cried out that a leak had
sprung, and Capt. Larsen and the car
penter hurried down into tlie hole to
see if the bark had suffered any inju
ries. In the port below, about three
feet below water mark, they found that
four plank bad been crushed in for a
space of about fuur feet long. A large
hole had been made, through which
the day light above the water could be
plainly seen. The water was pouring
rapidly into the vessel through this
hole. Several attempts were made to
stop it up, but the captain soon found
that it would be useless to remain be
low any longer. In the mean time the
men on deck had become terribly fright
ened. Some cried bitterly, while oth
ers had become so frightened by their
unexpected encounter with the sea
monster that they were for the time al
most helpless. When Captain Larson
reached tho deck he directed his men to
get the boats in readiness for abandon
ing the vessel. The log hook, instru
ments and a few cdothes, with some
provisions, were bundled into two boats,
which were put over the sides as soon
as excited sailers had placed a little
fresh water in them. The water casks
had been stowed in the hole into which
the sea was pouring so rapidly that not
more than one day’s fresh water could
be saved. Fortunately, the sea was
not rough, and when the boats had been
launched the entire crew abandoned the
bark. The larger boat was oommanded
by Captain Larsen, while Mr. 11. Ped
erser, the mate, took charge of the
smaller one. At 12 o’clock, an hour
and a half after the vessel had received
her death wound from the sea monster,
the boats rowed away. Shortly after
one o’clock the bark sank out of sight.
When abandoned the water in the hold
was within two or three feet of the
deck beams. Capt. Larsen told a Times'
reporter that ho was unable to give a
full description of the monster which
had sunk his vessel. Its fins and tail
could be seen as they splashed the wa
ter, but he only got a slight glimpse of
a portion of the body. One of the
sailors at first thought it might be a
whale, but no whale had ever been
known to sink a vessel. A whale could
present an array of tail and fin reaching
from the fore rigging to the main rig
ging of a vessel of 462 tons register,
but tbis monster did. What little was
seen of its back was much too round
for that of a whale. It would cer
tainly require an animal of enormous
size and strength to make the hole in the
bow of the. Columbia. What became
of the monster after it had run into
the bark is not kuown, as the crew,left
the side as soon as it was difeovered
that the vessel was sinking. Then they
became too much occupied in getting
in readiness to abandon the bark to ob
serve what course their submarine ene
my bad pursued. No traces of it were
observed while they were in the beats

Incomes ot Physicians and Cler
gymen.
A New York letter to the Boston
Journal says : “A large number of the
New York pastors are very wealthy
men. This is almost always true of
the Catholics, and has been true of
nearly all of the other pastors. Dr.
Spring was a very rich man, and in
old age married a very wealthy woman
for a wife. The elder Tyng is a million
aire ; Dr, William Adams has always
Deen rich since he has been in New
York. Dr. Beveair, ot Trinity Church,
has an estate in litigation to-day. A
large portion of the clergy are poor.—
Twc or three of the denominations are
rich. Nearly every successful doctor
has a fortune. It is the same with
eminent legal practitioners. When the
minister gets poor, as lie does at the
last of his life, tho lawyer and the doc
tor become rich. When he outlives his
usefulness, as he does when lie becomes
old, the lawyer becomes a judge, and
the doctor a professor. I asked ail em
inent physician, the other day, why is
this ? lie replied : “It results from
the way wo begin. Nearly every prac
ticing phsician and lawyer at the start
is poor. He lias his fame to get and
his fortune to win. He spends his years
in laying the foundation of his fame.
He studies economy and rigidly looks
out for the coppers. He isn’t required
to entertain anybody, and nobody ex
pects lie will maintain the style of a
successful merchant or a rich lawyer.—
He travels little, and earns his money
before he spends it. A minister takes
his position at a bound. The younger
lie is the more popular he is. He takes
a rank with a lawyer and merchant and
doctor at the start. He is flush in funds
and imagines his bright day will always
last. The money that he should lay up
for his waning hours he spends in trips
to Europe, and visits tho places of fash
ion and culture. When the pastor lias
got to his summit and looks down tho
western slope, he has spent his money
just as the lawyer and doctors have the
foundations of their wealth laid and
fame and usefulness well secured.—
There is not a profession in New Y r ork
in which it is so easy to lay up a com
petence for the future as the ministerial
one. The average pay is larger than
any other profession.”
Another Mercantile Failure.
Out on Michigan avenue a man near
seventy years of age started a small
confectionery store some months since
and the other day sent word to his
three creditors up town that he had
failed and wished to compromise. The
trio went down to the store, which they
found in full blast, and the four sat
down for a talk.
“You see, shcntlemens, 1 do not pees
ness, and my family eats up all the
profits,” explaiued the tradesman by
way of excuse.
“You owo me $ 12,” replied one of
the creditors, “and each of these others
sls apiece. That makes $42.’,
“Sliust $42,” sighed the old man.
“Now, then, how much money have
you on hand ?”
“Shust S6O, and no more.”
“Very well; as you have had bad
luck, we will settle with you for one
hundred and twenty cents on the dollar,
and you can go on as before.”
“Yaw, I will do dot, shentlemcns,
and I am much obliged for such kind
treatment.”
lie got out his money, the twenty
per cent, was added to the claims and
paid, and before the creditors retired
he insisted on treating them to ice
cream. They had not been gone an
hour before the old man rushed out and
baited a policeman and said :
“If I fails in peesness and bays one
hundred and twenty cents on der dol
lar, vat docs it mean !”
“It means that you don’t understand
bow tow fail,’’ was the reply.
“Ish dot bossible ?” whispered the
old man.
“I should say say so.”
“Veil, I go pack to der shoe pees
ness again. Vheu I fails in dot pees
ness I makes everything; vhen I fails
in dis peesness I bays more as I owes.

A Boy’s Terrible Crime.
He Kilts his Mother, his Aunt and his
Cousin, and Commits Suicide.
It has remained for a small boy in
Ohio to commit the monumental crime
of the year :
At IVaynosviile, Warren county, a
small town about fifty miles north of
Cincinnati, lived a Mrs. Hatte, a widow
thirty-five years of age. She had been
divorced from a former husband named
Anderson, and had living with her a
sou named Willie, the product of her
first marriage. On the 26th of August
her sister, a Mrs. Weeks, of Cinein
iiatti, came up to visit her, bringing
with her a young daughter. The ooy
Willie, was a bright, dutiful fellow,
and the money he earned in tho village
printing office was the main support of
Mrs. Ilatte. After the arrival of the
visitors from Cincinnati the, house of
Mrs. Ilatte was closed aud Willie gave
out that the folks had gone to Cincin
nati. After the lapse of a week people
passing the house observed a horrible
smell. Finally the town matsbal broke
open the door aud discovered the dead
bodies of the two women and the girl
lying there in an advanced stage of de
composition. Mrs. Ilatte’s skull had
been crushed in, apparently with a
blow from a hatchet, and her body was
found lying under the bed with much
of her face eaten away by the rats. —
Mrs. Week's throat bad been cut while
she was lying on the bed, and the little
girl stabbed in the breast while lying
on a pallet on the floor, where she
slept. The house was in the utmost
disorder, blood being smeared over the
beds and floor, though a big bag of
lime had been brought in, evidently
since the commission of the crime, an /I
emptied on the floor, to act as a disin
fectant aud absorb the odor of the de
caying flesh. The boy Willie, the un
doubted author of the crime, went to
Cincinnati just before this discovery,
hunted up liis father, slept with him all
night at a hotel without referring to
anything unusual in connection with
the family at Wayncsville. Next morn
ing he started to go back to the scene
of the tragedy, but was put off the train
because be bad no money, and. denied
admittance to a hotel for the same rea
son. Nothing more was seen of him
until be was found on a coal heap near
the station, with a bullet through his
head and his right hand grasping a
thirty-two calibre pistol- He had been
dead several hours. In the absence of
any known motive, for he was living on
good terms with his mothor, it is sur
mised that „he acted with or for his
father, and that the murder of the cou
sin and aunt was not intended, and only
committed because they were witnesses
of the first murder.
A Casabinanca.
The boy stood on tlie barn-yard fence,
whence all but him bad fled, the flames
that lit his father’s barn shone just
above the shed. One bunch of crack
ers in his hand, two others in his hat,
with piteous accents loud lie cried, “I
never thought of that.” A bunch of
crackers to the tail of one small dog he’d
tied; the dog in anguish sought the
barn and mid the rums died. The
sparks flew wide and red and hot, they
lit upon the brut; they fired the crack
ers in bis band aud eke those in bis
bat. Then came a burst of rattling
sound—the boy! where was ho gone ?
Ask of the winds that far around strew
ed bits of meat and bone, and scraps of
clothes and balls and nails and books
and yarn, the relies of the dreadful
boy that burned his father’s barn.
A BcpSorabla Affair-One Broth
er Shoots Another.
Yesterday afternoon a most melan
choly event occurred in DeSoto. The
facts, as near as we can ascertain, are
as follow.* Mr. Gus Trammel was
driuking, bad been at his residence near
tho bridge, and left with his pistol in
his hand, and declaring vengeance
against someone in Rome. His wife
followed him and was begging him not
to go to town. 11c went on, regardless
of her entreaties, until he got to the
main street near his brother Van’s store.
The latter seeing the trouble went out
and begged Gus to put up bis pistol
and go home. He told him to get out.
of the way or he would shoot him. Van
still entreated and Gus shot. The ball
took effect near the navel and lodged
iuwatdly. It is feared the wound will
prove fat-il. Gus went off a short dis
tance and sat down and was soon arrest
edr lie is now lodged in jail, lie was
crazed with whiskey and doubtless did
not realize what he was doing.
Van Trammel died about half-past
eight last night. —Rome Courier.
A Paris husband was told that his
wife, who had gone into the country to
be cured of an illness was dead. An
hour afterward she presented herself
before him in perfect health. The sud
den and violent, transition from sorrow
to joy (or from joy to sorrow) was too
much for him, and he became a maniac.

Modern Witchcraft.
[Cincinnati Enquirer.]
One year ago two boys in Zanesville,
0., got into a quarrel, and one was cut
in the head by a stone thrown by the
othe r , named Darnell. The wound bled
profusely, and the mothcr’of the injured
boy followed his assailaut to his home,
gave him a sharp talking to for his cru
el conduct, and, in the presence of the
Darnell boy and his mother, expressed
the wish that the boy might lose the
use of a foot, or that one of his feet
might bo raised from the floor and nev
er be permitted to touch it again. A
short time after this the Darnel! boy,
upon whom this unnatural curse was
pronounced, was attacked with a pain
in the hip, which grew worse day by
day. The cords of his leg finally began
to contract, and his knee gradually bent,
until, alarmed at the situation, a physi
cian was called in. The physician treat.
■d him for intractable rheumatism, but
he got no better. It began to shrivel
up and became an absolute deformity,
and withal very painful. Finally the
family changed physicians, and the sec
ond one pronounced it hip disease at
once, and so treated it. His leg was
lanced, and, though at first confined to
his bed, lie was soon able to use crutch-
es. A few weeks ago the mother was
called to the bedside of the boy by his
piteous cries, and complaints of some
thing crawling up his leg. Presently
the pain all concentrated at the sore,
and the boy, in the presence of his moth
er, with his fingers pulled out of the
sore a few hairs matted together, a lot
of thread, some very coarse, and a small
piece of something resembling a piece
of match. Around this substance was
a very tightly wound a white cotton
thread. The wound bled profusely af
ter these articles were extracted. This
operation has since been repeated a
number of times, and on Wednesday a
small piece of bone comb, with the teeth
broken off, was taken out . A woman
in the neighborhood claims to have
power over witches, and says she will
cure the boy thereby.
Relations Between Morals ami
Food.
Dr. Book, of Leipsic, is responsible
for the following note on the relation
between morals and what people drink:
‘‘The nervousness and peevishness of
our times are chiefly attributable t
tea and codec; the •digestive organs of
confirmed coffee drinkers arc in a state
of chronic derangment, which reacts
upon the brain, producing fretful and
lachrymose moods. Fine ladies addict
ed to strong coffee have a characteristic
temper, which I might describe as a
mania for acting the persecuted saint.
Chocolate is neutral in its physical ef
fects, and is really the most harmless of
our fashionable drinks. The snappish,
petulant humor of the Chinese is cer
tainly to be ascribed to their immodei*-
ate fondness of tea.
The Price of a hey.
A widow, whose husband was killed
in a railroad accident, sued the company
and recovered $6,000 damages. A man
who lost his leg in the same accident,
sues in the same court and gets $15,000.
The widow waylays the .Judge and
charges him with unjust discrimination
in valuing a leg at three times as much
as a whole man. ‘That is not the point,
■uv dear madam,’ says the urbane
Judge. Even with $15,000 the man
cannot buy a leg as good as the one he
lost. But a woman as young as you
are, and with $5,000 can have no diSs
oulty in getting anew husband.’ The
widow retires satisfied.’’— Pittsburg

Josli Billings on the Honey Bee.
The honey bee is an imflanimable
critter, sudden in ltis impresshuns
and hasty in bis conclusions or end.
Ilis mitral disposition is a warm
cross between red pepper m the pod
and lusil oil, and bis moral dias iz
’git out ot mi v. ay.’ They have a
long body divided in the middle by
a waist spot, but their phsikal
importance lies at the terminous, or
their suburb, in the shape of ajevelin,
which is always loaded, and enters a
man as still as a thought, as spry as
litenia’ and as full oph of mdaukolly
az the tootliake. Bees never argy a
case; they settle awl of tticir differ
ences of opinyun hi letting their
javelin fly, and are as certain to bite
az a mule iz. Bees are not long lived
I kant state jest how long their lives
are, but I know from instinkt and
observashun that enny kritter, be he
bug or be he devil, who is all the
time mad and stings every good
chance he kan git, generally dies
early.
Ei red at Five Times. —A shooting
affray occured last Friday at Hemp
stead, 1.- I-’ between Mrs Lena
Vogelsine and Mrs. Esther Leins,
which will probably result in the
death of the latter. Mrs. Vogelsine
had a cow that its owner insisted
should graze in a lot belonging to
Mrs. Leins. Every time the cow was
sent out to the forbidden pasture
ground Mrs. Leins would throw ston
es at it to drive it awaj. The owner
of the cow resented this, and on Fri
day tho women came to blows, Mrs.
Vogelsine sent a boy into her house
for a revolver, and fired five times at
her antagonist. Mrs. Leins then took
the pistol from Mrs. Vogelsine, and
with it struck her lepeatedly over
the head. One of the shots took ef
fect in Mrs. Leins’ head, and one in
the abdomen. Mrs. Vogelsine en
deavored to escape, but was caught.
The dying woman recognized her, but
was unable hist night to make an an
te-mortem statement. The former
will be examined to-day. —JVew York
