tempted to “put aslrirlgle roof on us,” last
week, because. in reluctant obedience to the
.imperiousrequirements of modern journhlism
we had made mention of his new and pic~
turesque naval costume. Does he not know
that it has, of these late years, become the
fashion to grab and dish-up, ‘what may seem
to others the most private domestic concernsl
' Time was, it is true, when'_ a certain class of
long nosed, sharp elbowed'and angular joint-
ed “ old maids,”’in pants,as well as petticoats,
were found in every community to seize and
circulate‘such minutia. _ ,
low’s occupations gone.” The pickings of
the egos-up dens" and “scanan cornersgj in
every community, are now to)... culled from
the columns of the modern s‘ppwn of sickly
newspapers, and like the fungi, springing
(from the hotbed, the ranker-v the filth, the
more luxurant the spawn. To keep them-
selves alive, they must sicze upon all private
details of families and individuals. Nothing
so delights their inmost gizards as a bit of
pu‘trcscent scandal. ' Especially if there be a
dcfenceless girl with no big brother involved,
the delight of Jenkins,knows no bonds. Every
incident is seized upon and spiced to suit a
dclnoralized taste in the community. The
most purely private affair of the individual is,
dressed up in most sensational style and
paraded in print before the public eye. So
they ply their vocation with impunity, and
good people, fearing their abuse, are too often
led to throw the snapping curs a bone to keep
their fangs out of their flesh. They do noth-V
ing for the public Vivelfare, Or the uplifting of
the community “acre they squat. In most
cases they are neither taxpayers or voters
and not unfrequently, do not even reside
where their filth mills are run. One of the
worst effects this class of ephemeral newspa-
pers has had is the vitiatcd taste it has begot-
ten. People, with’Out thoughtful reflection,
are too apt to consider their newspaper unin-
teresting and lacking ill a proper degrec‘of
journalistic enterprise, unless it be filled with
the most vapid of personal items or abgund-
in g in gcandals and privacies that ‘shouldhever
offend the public eye and taste. Too many
purely private persons, also enjoy the no.
toriety thus given them and their affairs,
and will scarce forgive a failure to “notice"
the most trivial thing they do. This sort of
thing is certainly not of a high order of journ-
alism, but it is the fashion, and “ more’s the
pity.”

SousrrrrNo- .an.—-Brewster do 00. 4 the
celebrated Broome street Carri'age Manufac-
turers,have anew and valuable invention in
the way of a hard rubber. pad, washer or
socket, which they introduce into theliubs of
carriage wheels, and which so surrounds the
axles as to relieve the vehicle from jolt and
concussion. It greatly saves the tire, spoke,
hub and felloe, and especially the fellow who
rides in the vehicle, and as soonas the ingen-
ions contrivance becomes known to the car:
riage owning public, we predict its almost
universal introduction, for it is one of the
really good things among the many carriage
improvements of modern times.

There has been such-an unusual prevalence
of neuralgia and rheumatic affections the
past season, that we would, in the, interest of
sufferers, call attention to a remedy prepared
by M. S. Burr-dc 00.,26 Tremont street, Bos—
ton, for those nerve .and muscle disorders.
A personal friend of ours, who for more than
thirty years had suffered most. intense agony
from neuralgia, was cured by the remedy'and
paid a thousand dollars for the receipt that
he might give it to the public. It does not
cure 523er case, but it does cure a great many,
and no one has used it without obtaining sig-
nal relief, ourselves among the number. It
is'callcd “Lawson’s Neuralgic and Rheumatic
Curative and Nerve Tonic." No effort is
made to push its sale, and it is not one ofthe
patent medicine nostrums of the day. We
give the makers the benefit of this adv. and
of our own personal endorsement with a view
only to the relief of any suffering from those
excrutiating disorders.
Brooklyn Bridge.
Misses Mary Haniord and Ida L. Plait,
who recently walked over the Brooklyn
Bridge, sends us the following facts in rela-
tion to that structure: - .
Structure commenced 1870. First wire for
temporary bridge,crosscd Aug.14th,1876. Mr
Farrington, the superintendent of the work,
was the first man, to cross on the temporary
cables, August 261b, 1876; first wire perma-
nent cables, May 29th, 1877. Length of
river span, from tower to tower, 1,595 feet;
length from tower to anchorage on each side
of river, 935 feet; length of New York ap-.
proach from anchorage, 1,562 feet; length of
Brooklyn approach from anchorage, 971feet,;
total length of Bridge, including the approach-
es, 5,098 feet; width of bridge, 85feet. The_
foundati s are 78 feet below high water
mark. T e towers to top are 268 feet above
high watermark. The bridge will be—the
roadway—119 feet above high water mark at‘
the towers, and 135 feet highat the centre of
the River. The towers are 149 feet higher
than the roadway. ' ’
Seven years have been consumed on the
work and $7,468,647 have bécn spent fonIit.
$4,000,000 more will required to complete
the bridge. The roadway will be suspended
under'four cables made of steel wire, each
cable 16 inches in diameter. . ,
The present temporary foot bridge, passes
over the towers at a height of_268 feet above
the Water, and about 200-feet high at the cen-
trc of the river. The ternporam bridge is
made of oak slots, 4 inchcswidc and 1; inches
thick, and lie with an opening bétfween them
of ll inches ;_ length of slats 4 feet, that be-
ing the width of the temporary bridge.
These slots are laid on two wire cables of
about 25 inches in diameter, one" under each
end and another of 2 inches in dia'mete‘r is
laid on top of the slats, and directly above
the 25» inch cable, and the .two cables bolted
together at intervals of a few feet, and each
slot is fastened to the cables. As protection for
those who might otherwise he timid in crOss.
ing so narrow a bridge at so great a height,
a wire cable is stretched on each side of the
bridge at a height suitable for a hand rail. _
The wires from the top of the towers, in a
clear day, is indescribable.
there 30 form a fair conception of the land-
scape. . ‘
Mr. John B. Gough has a farm at Worces-
tcr containing 125 acres. It’ is satirically ob-
served that he is obliged. to lecture five times
a week, his fee being $200, in order to sus-
tain this farm.

The Potato Bugs.
A farmer sends to the Hartford Times a de-
scription of his method of, treating potato
bugs, as follows: “I take a pailful of water
(say three gallons) andthicken it over the fire
with rye or Wheat flour,ortwithvtbe common
starch that is used for dressing satinct warps.
I thicken the whole three gallons. to the con-
sistency of cold molasses. I then take a hall'-
pint of this starch, put it into another pailful
of cold water, and add one tablespoonful of
Paris green, and mist the wllolfetllorougbly.
care being taken to keep’it- cvcnlrtmixed, and
with a sprinkler or-syrin'gc apply to each
plant or bill. One or tv’vo‘applicatious during
the season will be sufficient. 1f the beetles
are as numerous as I have seen them the
stench from the field the next day will be
sufficient evidence that the work has been ac-
complished.”

southern states. Some 5000 on-lookers were
present at the recent hangin of the negro,
Charles Tommy, at Atlanta, 11.. for the mur-

A STRANGE REMINISCENCE.

and all its “adjuncts. I
could afford so much extravagant re-
search, as I knew that his father .was
a broken-down merchant, who lived
very plainly in a small cottage .some
fifteen miles from the city, originally
a portcr‘s lodge to a gentleman’s seat
in the neighborhood. _ .
I accepted Hoffman’s invrtatiou the
first vacation we were together, and
spent a part of my hpliday at, the
cottage, where I became gacqualpted
with :his familchonsistiiig of his father.

noticed that his mother had a constant
habit of claspiug her hands as if in
prayer, and turning her eyes heaven-

Hoffman had never professed any ro-

me 1’" The hall at the cottage-was a
fine large, square room, which" you .eu-
tel-ed frbm a wide stair Oil the outside,
near the ceiling; and on looking down
you would perceive a semi-circular area.
' Two stairs led down the among
seats on either side . to this area, ilr
which srood the electric apparatus,
and a long mahogany table, bound
with brass, with a number of hinges
and foldiugs, which ,,was capnhle,of

Soon after we had taken our seats,
several elderly gentlemen entered the
arena also, one of them completely
cowl-ed withhis black gown; this was
the demonstrator of anatomy, and be
it was who would to-duy operate upon
highwaymarr.
The old church bell had pealcd out
its twelve strokes some time before
any news leached us; but at fifteen
minutes to one a young man entered
hastily, whispered something ill the
ear of the doctor who was enveloped
ill the black gown, and every thing
w.-ls excitement. The machine was
put ill action and the table prepared,
and in another minute several men
hurried into the room bear-ing robody.
with sheet thrown loosely over it.
3*ud murmur was heard through-
out 1110 hull, and' each one sprang to
his feet to try and get a look at the
body, which was placed On the table
with its face downward. ~
The sheet was at once removed, and
I sliuddered as I saw before me all
that was mortal of the highwayman
Scammel. Hoffman clutched my arm
as the preparations were..being made.
Every fibre in the body seemed to be
ill a state of rigid tension, which dis-
played the strength and elegance of
his muscular frame to :i great advant-
acre.
aDr. Bremocr, the anatomical lec-
turer, stepped forward immediately,
and commenced to address the gentle-
Incu present. He informed them. that,
very fortunately for the experiment
about. to be made now, the neck of the
criminal did not seem to have suffered
any very great perceptible injury. He
then explained what he was gomg‘to
do.
With his scalpel he made incisions
upon important nerves in _various
parts of the body, and applied the
wires; and under their influence the
limbs were contracted, the muscles
seemed clubbed up in knots, and the.
legs were drawn up and thrown out
with great force. This elicited rc-
poatcd applause.
The excitement now was intense.
The wires were applied to difi‘erent
portions of the body with the same
effect, and the result was so fearfully
strange that many fainted in their
seats.
The wires were now applied to the
phrcnic nerve. and almost irnmedi-
utcly respiration began; low at first,
their more natural. and in proportion
as the current. Was kept. up it became
very hurried, and :it last gasping.
The wires were now afiixcd to tho
nerves behind the thigh, and a power
fill currcnt from the huge vollaic pile
Curried to them. The result was
f'I-Izrfrll.' -
The body turrrcd suddenly around,
and sat rlp perfectly straight: every
'nrrsclc fixed with that terrible ap-
pearance of a rigid spasm. Its neck.
was thrust forward; the hair seemed
to stand out, each individual one ilr
regular order. Its eyelids were drawn
back, while the eyeballs, with their
dead, glazed pupils, protruded in
hideous glassy‘ store. The ilOstriI:
were diluted. as if breathing heavily
and a horrible greenish foam oozed
out of the corner of the rapidly
working lips.
I could not remove lily eyes from
it for a moment. Never was I ‘so
spell-bound; and never did I behold
such a. terrifically hideous obicct.
My whole son was bound with a.
feeling of unuttcrablc horror. It
turned suddenly towards where
Hoffman and myself » were sitting,
and convulsivcly ilrtcd its finger
ill that direction, while every fibre
in its face seemed distorted by
ghastly, diabolic, gibbering grin. I
swooned. The hull seemed to swim
around me: but still my ears seemed
pierced by the most agonizing cry I
overheard, and I distinctly caught “ My
farther!” _» ‘
I could not think at once whence
it proceeded, but before I had {time
for reflection a-heav body fell against
me. .It was poor ofl‘man ; he had
sprung up into the air, like a. stag when
the hunter’s bullet enters its heart,
when he met that gaze. It was his
father! -. ~
The gentlemen went on with their
experiments, but with no success.
Hoffman never recovered from the
shock that he received that day, but
for several months he was a raving
maniac. About three days before he
died, he asked for his father, and
mother, and sister; the mother and
sister come, but they told him the
father was ill. Ho fortunately had
no recollection of it until a few days
before he died, when all seemed to
come back like the recollection [of
some horrid dream. His last words
to me were, “My dear friend, there
is an avenging God, instead of a system
of Nature.”
1 made inquiries, and discovered
that his father was a notorious high-
wayman, and, moreover, the robbery
and murder for which he was sen-
abled him to furnish his son the ne-
cessary means to complete his electric
apparatus. - , g

On being told the author’s name and the
title of the-book, he expressed himself
greatly grieved that an lady in England

of so vile‘a character as Charles Dickens.
Both th ladies showed great surprise at
the lo timate the clergyman put upon
an author whom they had been accus-

certain degree of pcasurc. They Were
evidently much shocked at what the man
said of the immoral tendency of tilt-so
books, which they seem‘never before 10

a similar character. The man stared at.
'me, and evrdently considered my appear-

“‘You seem to speak.’ _I said, ‘from
personal knowledge of Mr. Dickens. Are
you acquainted with him? ’
“Ho rather evaded the question, bur,
