A Washington special to the Inter Ocean,says: Mrs. Ohisolm ban returned from Mississippi, where she went to attend a9a witness the trial of her husband's murderers. She represents matters as completely under the control of the desperadoes who murdered her hus band and children. Before testifying Bhe was warned by the District Attor ney not to 833 one word except in an swer to questions. If she alluded to any event calculated to prove the con spiracy by reference to murder3 sub sequently committed, she was imme diately arrested in her tostimony , and not allowed to go on. If she mention ed anyihiug said by her husband, she va9 told the court did not wish to know anything of the private com munications between herand herhus band. When she stated that shots were fired at the house and into the house, which she knew because she heard the. bullets striking it, and be cause ihe sent her son to the roof to see the bullet holes, and he reported a number, she was again stopped, and aeked if she saw these bullet-holes herself, her reply being that, ua she was not an expert in climbing, she Bad not. The whole testimony was pronounced insufficient. Many of the rabble, who were discharging their firearms into the barn and hiding, by night, with their hands on their guns, in surrounding trees, were witnesses for tho defense, and some of these same persons are on the Grand Jury who have to find a bill for indictment of themselves for subsequent murder when that case comes up. The Judge charged thejury, and he assured them that unless there was a conspiracy, which there was not, and unless Chis olm was proven a qualified voter, which he was not, they could not but -acquit, which they did in five min utes, Judge Lee, the District Attor ney, seemed to be entirely overawed by the ruliug spirit. a A Banquet for the Thousand Knights. A project is on foot to give the grand est banquetof modern times in Chica go in August, 1S30. It is a long way ahead, but not too soon to begin for an affair of the magnitude of the en tertainment in question. Il is to be upon the occasion of the triennial meeting of lht Knights Templar in America, which is to take place here at that time. At the banquet will be seated 10,000 people, who are to be served iu all the elegance of the most eumptuous feasts ever spread. The meal is expected to cost something over $50,000, and no profits to the ca terer. The plan is to spread the tables capable of seating 100 each of the Knights and their friends upon the lake front if the weather is favorable, and if not, in the Exposition Build ing, which will have a temporary 'an nex" iu order to make its capacity equal to the occasion. The waiters will number 1,000, and be devided in to centuries and tens. Each 100 will be under a centurion, aud each gang of 10 will be directed by a head wait er. EaoW t.bo win in uls way be uerved by 10 waiters as promptly as though it composed the entire ban quet. Most of the food is to be put upon the table in domestic style, ev ery teuth man, for example, carving for his neighbors. Immense ranges will be built to cook the food, which is to be first class iu every particular. Owing to the season of the year.fruits and ices will be a prominent feature of the repast, but it is said that 2,000 fowls will lose their heads to satisfy the cravings of the knightly appetite for roaste, salads, &c. Inter Ocean. Tho Hum of Industrv. Two men and a boy were walking alougjohn It. street recently, when one of them the father of the boy said : "How pleasant to my ears is the hum of industry." "So itis to mine,' replied the other, and when the boy got a chance he asked : "Father did you mean that pound- .Inrr hoolr rlioroV" "Yes, my sou," was the answer. That evening as the father was seat ed in his evening chair, he heard an awful pounding in the kitoheu, and rushed in to see bis son belaboring a chair with a hammer. "What on earth does this mean?" he shrieked at the lad. "The hum of Industry, father,'' was the pleasant reply. The boy was hummed out o' that so fast that it was over an hour before he could compose himself to softly en quireof his inner consciousness: 'Was father lying to that man, or is night a bad time for the hum of Industry?" Free Press. Mr. Andrew Wertzberger, of Altoo ua; Pa., has had quite a curious expe rience with a piece of iron. Some five years ago, while hammering a wedge of Iron, a spawl from the same enter ed the flesh of one of his arms. Neith er the wound nor the foreign sub stance gave him any serious pain or inconvenience, and the circumstance was dropped from his memory. The other day he felt a sharp, prick ing sensation in one of his great toes. On reaching his home he made a care ful investigation into the cause of the unusual pain, and extracted the iden tical pieoeof iron thatenteredhisarm five years ago. The metallic wander er was about one inch in length and of the thickness of a needle. James Morris spent his eighty-ninth year in a poor-house near Milwaukee. He had been a drunkard for over half a century, and had habitually viola led the commonest rules of health. On Christmas" day he begged money en ough to go on a spree, and- a charita ble lady gave him half a dollar, "which, he expended so carefully that he was ablo to keep intoxicated nearly a week. Moral Suasion on a Earn. When a friend of ours, whom we call Agricola, was a boy, he lived on afarmiu Berkshire County, the own er of which was troubled by his dog, VoIf The cur killed his sheep, knowing, perhaps, that his master was conscientiously o. posed to capi tal punishment, and he could devise uo means to prevent it. 'I can break him of it,' said Agrico la, 'if you will give me leave.' Thou art permitted,' said the farm er, and we will let Agricola tell the story in his own words. 'There was a ram on the farm,' said Agricola, 'as notorious for butting as Wolf was for sheep-killing, and who stood in need of moral suasion as the dog. IshutWoIf up in the barn with this old fellow, and the consequence was that the dog never looked a sheep in the face again. The ram broke ev erv bone in his bodv. literally. Won derfully uplifted was the ram afore said by his exploit; his insolence be came intolerable; be was sure to pitch into whomsoever went nigh him. 'I'll fix him,' said I, aud so I did. I rigged an iron crowbar out of a hole in the barn, point foremost, and hung an old hat on the end of it. You can't always tell, when you see a hat whether there is a head in it or not ; how, then, should a ram ? The ram made at it fnll but, aud being a good marksman from long practice, the bar broke in between his horns, and came out under his tail. This little admoni tion effectually cured him of butting. Baltimore Argus. Unjust to Ingersoll. Dr. Armitage replied to Colonel In gersoll yesterday aud made some very good points. Butin one of his defen sive blows he struck below the belt. He said : 'Show me where, in the whole history of the civilized world, $3,000 has been raised for charity by a band of acknowledged skeptics.' Now, this would not amouut to much as an argument, oven if it were true. But it is not true. Hundreds af thou sands of dollars are disbursed in char ity by acknowledged skeptics every year. Colonel Ingersoll himsely is noted for his charities in the West, aud a lady in thiscity, whoso skeptic ism is as 'acknowledged' as his, gives from $10,000 to $30,000 iu charity ev ery 3'ear. A benevolent tendency de pends much ou natural temperament, and may be possessed by a person of any or no belief. Such arch-heretics as Ingersoll can be answered only by replying to what they say, not by try ing to show that they are personally immoral or unsympathetic. New York Graphic. lVhat is Life. ? The mere lapse of years is not life. To eat and drink and sleep to be ex posed to the darkness and to light to pace round the mill of habit and turn thought into an implement of trade this is not life. In all this but a poor fraction of consciousuess of human ity ia awakened, aud tuosauetitlesstll! slumber which make it worth while to be. Knowledge, truth, virtue, beau ty, goodneaa, faitH.nimie ojtn give vi tality to the mechanism of existence The laugh of mirth -that vibrates through the heart the tears that freshens the dry wastes within, the music that brings childhood back the prayer that calls the future dear the doubt that makes us meditate the death that staitles us with myste ry the hardships that forces us to struggle the anxiety that ends in trust are the true nourisment of our natural being. What is the statement of Scripture? I admit that as it stands in our Eng lish version, and read through the medium of our own education, the Scripture apparently teaches the old doctrine. But, when the terms 'hell,' 'damnation,' everlasting' are subject ed to the critical test of modern schol arship, they do not bear out the old meaning. I doubt whether in the days of the Old Testament, or In the Jewish mind at the time of ourSavior, the sharp, metaphysically accurate idea of time and duration existed. I believe that what they meant by 'eter nal' was a vague and nebulous period of time, aud that it was not used in a sharp, scientific sense, but iu a poet ic, or, rather, generalizing sense, just as we say 'a hundred when we only mean 'many,' or as we say 'forever when we mean simply long periods of time. H. W. Beecher. A citizen of Lawrence county, O., who is a magistrate, recetly had occa sion to make a trausfer of real estate. The deed was drawn up and he and his wife signed it. Then as justice of the peace he acknowledged his owu deed before himself, and stated that he examined the grantor's wife sepa rate aud apart from her husband, and that she was a willing party to said deed. She was romantic, and he was prac tical. She remarked dreamily that her soul was troubled that the fore bodings of fate were running through her head. Aud he coldly advised her to use a fine-tooth comb. Upright legislator: 'What, sir! You take me for one who can be bri bed? You insult my sense of honor but, in case I really were such a man, how muoh would you give me?' A New York State church has tho following notice posted up: "Any body sticking bills againstthis church will be prosecuted .according to law, or auy other nuisauce. A man at Keokuk has cut out and pasted in a scrap book accounts of eleven hundred different boiler explo sions, and. now he wants to sell the collection for $500. The Christian World, of London, says that "Presbyterians in England, with a few exceptions, favor a revis- j ion of the Confession of Faith." ! FAKM AND HOUSEHOLD. A song heard by a hive : "Bee it ever so humble, there's no place like comb." Braver Biscuit.

Jacob Zuddering, Clear Creek tree miles behint the pridge.' The peach originally wa9 a poison ous almond. In olden times its fleshy parts were used to poison arrows, aud it was for this purpose introduced in to Persia. The transportation and cultivation not only removed its pois ouous properties, but produced the de licious fruit which we now enjoy iu its season. To Have Soft Hands. It is said that ten cents' worth of tartaric acid used when you wash your hands, by dipping one wet finger in the powder aud rubbing the hands well, aud then washing ofl" in olear water, using soap and clear water, will clean every stain and the hands will be as soft and white a9 a baby's. Hoa Cholera. An Indiana farm er lost two of his fattening hogrf by the cholera. As soon as he found that tho cholera'was among his hogs, he began to give to all of them that seemed'sick strong garden pepper tea, and iu every gill of tea he auded two' tablespoon fuis of coal oil. All his sick nogs have recovered, aud are now doing well. Corning Beef.

Don't Fret. It is a great misfor tune to hhve a fretful disposition. It takes the fragrance out of one's life, and leaves only weeds where a cheer ful disposition would cause flowers to bloom. The habit of fretting is one' that grows rapidly unless it be stern-1 ly repressed ; and the best way to over come it is to try always to look on the cheerful side of things. Itis stated that one of the principal roe firms of England purchases an- nually from sixty thousand to eighty thousand briar stocks upon which to bud standard roses. These when re ceived are sorted, trimmed aud plant ed out where they are to grow until sold. The proper time for budding these stocks in England is said to be July earlier or later, according to the season. To Cure Hams. To 100 pounds of meat, take 1 quart of molasses, 2 pounds of brown sugar, and 3 ounces of salt peter. Make a pickle that will bear an egg; put these ingredients in it. Pack the meat tightly, and pour it over. Let it remain in the pickle 6 weeks, then put it iu the meat room; let it dry well, then smoke a few days, and when suflieientlysmoked, put in bags aud keep them in a dark room. Cure for Bleeding and Crack ed Teats in Cows. A gentleman of this city tells us how he cured bleed ingand cracked teats in hiscow.

Maine Farmer. A Pretty Tea Dish. The Ameri can Home has a recipe for a tea-relish that looks pretty, and tastes nice : Make a Bhort, sweetened pie-crust, roll thin, and bake partly in sheets; before it is. quite done take from the oven, cut in squares of four inches or so, take up two diagonal corners and pinch together, which makes them basket shaped; now fill with whip ped cream or white of egg, or both, well sweetened And flavored, aud re turn to the oven for a few minutes. The Lungs and Chest. Loosen the clothing, and, standing erect, throw the shoulders well back, the hands behind, and the breast forward. Iu this position draw as deep an in spiration as possible, and retain it by an increased effort for a few seconds ; then breathe it gradually forth. Af ter a few natural breaths, repeat the long inspiration. Let this be done for ten or fifteen minutes every day, in six weeks time a very perceptible increase in the diameter of the chest and its prominence will be evident. To Purify the Blood. Strictly diet on oat-meal porridge, lean beef, plain vegetables, fruit and graham bread. Eat no wheat bread or pastry or puddings; no butter or grease whatever. Butter and cheese secret ly poisons many systems. Drink lemonade. Eat regularly, and the drier the food the better. Food float ing in grease refuses to digest. Sub stitute clear water not ice wateE for tea or coffee. On. retiring apply cold cream or beef fat to the complexion. take the oils externally instead of iu ternally. 21. D. Improved Thief and Robber Trap. The object of this invention is to provide for U9e in banks, stores, etc., a thief or robber trap, so constructed that it may be tripped by the cashier, proprietor, clerk, or other persons sta tioned behind the counter, or in any other convenient place, and thereby precipitate the thief or burglar into the cellar or apartment below. The tilting sections constitute that part of a banking-room which is in front of the counter. On removing the eup portof levers from the tilting sections they will tilt and precipitate anyone standing there on into the cellar or apartment below. It is hence within the power of the cashier, clerk, or oth er persona having access to the tripper, to tilt the sections whenever a robber has gained access to the bank or store, and thus precipitate him into a place of secure confinement without incur ring the danger of a personal encount er and injury. Scientific American. The great French publishing house of Firmin Didot, which dates back Into the seventeenth century, has 250 female compositors, and its collection of Greek classics has been entirely set up by them. Hard speech between those who have loved is hideous in the memory, like thesight of greatness and beauty sunk into vice and rags. "It's only a drop in tho buck," as the man said when he pushed his wife down stairs and she landed in theslop pail. Catarr NEVER-FAILING RELIEF AFFORDED BY SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE. IT is a fact that can be substantiated by the most respectable testimonials ever offered in favor of any proprietary medicine, that tho Radical Cube for Cat akbii does in every case afford In stant and permanent relief. No matter of how Ion;; standing, or how severe the disease, the first dose gives such evidence of its value in the treatment of atarrhal affections that confidence is at once feic In its ability to do all that' is claimed for it. Tha testimony of physicians, druggists,' and patients U nnanimoas on this point, and the accumulating evidence is in point of respectability superior' to any ever before obtained in favor of a popular remedy. The proprietors, therefore, may Justly feel proud of the position this remedy has attained, and believp t worthy of its reputation. 10 YEARS A SUFFERER. From Hon.Theo.P.
