A despatch from Chicago, sayer—A. D. Barnes, who wee employed as janitor of the Hiawatha Apartment Build ing, 278 East, '37611 street, wee mum dared in a brutal manner on Thursday night in the basement of the building And an elaborate effort was made by his slayer, and accessories after the fact to conceal the crime by hiding the hooked and muti- lated corpse le a hole under the .eidewaik in South Park avenue. Tho peeking case in which the remains were hidden was di000vered next morning, and every person except, perhaps, one woman, who is suspected by the police to have had any knowledge of the crime, are under arrest. MURDERED WITH AN AX. The circumstantial evidence so far secur- ed against Edmund Jordan, the assistant janitor at the Hiawatha fiats, ie of the strongest kind and only hie oonfeseicn is lacking to ostabliah beyond any doubt the fact• that he Malted the lite out of his superior with an ax, out and broke the limbs of the bleeding comma so that it could bo stowed in the box which he had prepar- ed for it, and then accompanied by a man and woman, took it in a etolon rig to the lonely hiding -place at midnight. The persons who are in the Woodlawn Police Station, charged with the murder or complicity iu the disposal of the 4ody or held ae witnesses, are Edmund Jordan, assistant janitor, Tiaoathe Flats, the alleged murderer; John Benson, Jersey, a boon companion of Jordan, and the man who is acetified of being on the wagon seat with him; A. R. Winelade, engineer of flat building, 744 Rhodes avenue; Mre. Andrew R. Winalade, his wife, who is said to have been intimate with Barnes Annie Mahoney, mistress of Barnes, who loaned him $1500and did not get ib baok; Mrs. Edmund Jordan,wife of the alleged murder- er, who is also said to have been unlawfully intimate with Barnes. ' ANOTHER SUSPECT. The police aro trying to find another woman who called at the Hiawatha flats arty last night, and was anxious to see Barnes, who was out at the time. This woman is believed by the police to have accompanied the two men who drove the body to its place of concealment, and either Mrs. Winded° or Mrs. Jordon may have been that woman. It is knownby several witnesses that two men with a woman seated between them, drove a waggon containing a box south on Cottage Grove avenue from the tfiawatha flats about 11 o'clock at night. It is believed the clime was committed just ''efore that time. It is also in evidence against Jordan and jersey that they met shortly after the time the murder is supposed to have been com- mitted, and that Jordan said that the job was done, and it did not take an hour to do it. This meeting was in a saloon near the scene of the murder. As to the motive of the deed the police toy that Barnes received his month's pay yesterday, and no money oat bo found in his bloody clothes or in the basement whore the man met hie death. Robbery on the part of Jordan, who is a good-for-nothing fellow, may have been one of the motives. the evening i When had such re thing happened ? On the road Mrs. Huntley told her hue• band what Mamie had said to her, andahe added, " Perhaps, ae I tell it, it don't seem much, but it made mo think of our Polly, cud"—the woman's voice broke, and the father, saddened too,eaid, oomfortingly " She ie cafe, my dear, in heaven," " Yea, father, but 1 m thinking of the one that's left, fou all 1 cried a 'little. I guess you were near right about getting. him aomethingnice. Hes but a boy yet, and he'd think more of Christmao, and perhaps of the child that was born en Christmas, if we show him that Jesus has made our hearts a little more tender." What it cost that hard, reserved woman to say that, none knew, but I think hor husband felt dimly how she must have fought with herself, and he was silent for some time. At last he acid, with a tone of gladness' in hie voice, "My dear, I'm glad to get him sotnething. He'e a good boy, Ned ." N' hisa pleasant time they had, and how they caught the spirit of Christmas ! They bought a sled and skates, a book or two, and candies, and Mrs, Huntley found a jack-knife that was just the thing Ned wanted. Meantime, Ned mused over hie mother e tears and her strangely kind tones, and thought: "I wonder if slte'e going to be as good to me as sire was to Polly. I hated to hear Mamie talk about Santa Claus. Polly used to talk jusb that way, and we did have such good tithes. I used to get skates and things Christmas, but now I get some hand- kerchiefs or a lob of shirts. It makes me mad." Theu Ned fell asleep, and oo the Imothor found him, She woke him gently and he wept off to bed, bewildered by mere kind words. Morning dawned and Ned hurried down to light Lhe fire in the kitchen, but he went no further than the sitting -room. There was a sled,—a splendid one, --a, pair of skates, end books 1 He put his hand in his pockets to take a long some, and felt something acreage in one of them. Why !

And ea ib was, and so it continued to be. —TOROA•TO LADIES JOURSE.L. took her doll, Helena Margaret Conetano "Victoria, named in honor of the Queen, 1 her arms and talked the matter over with her, " What do you think, my dear,' said she, " They don't keep Christmas at Ned Huntley's house !

Oh, yes, but they suppose, don't keep it.eu They turn front, I pp , just like mother told me they acted about no little child could say, 'I can't be (like Jesus, for Jesus never was so little as me, Here itis in the Bible and down on the floor she sat with the book on her knees.

Tltoro was some truth in what Mrs. Gaston had told her little daughter; the Huntleys did not keep Christmas in a lov- ing, hearty way. They kept it in no far that on this very afternoon Mrs, Huntley was busy marking the mince pies, dressing the turkey, and doing all she could to be. beforehand with; the extra 'Obrietmae dinner.

PILGRIMAGE IN INDIA, s➢audreds of Thousands Crowding Into One Place—Swarms of Beggars. Indian pilgrimages are mostly undertaken in the cold weather, because the river is then shallow and slow, and nobody .,gets drowned unless he is more then usually per verse. Also when the river is low great tracts of sand are dry on either side of the water, and on these the pilgrims can con- veniently camp. Accordingly each year, about the middle of December, there dock 1 to 33irman fully 200,000 persons. These are not all pilgrims pore and simple, be- cause even the most religious pflgritn re- quires to be ted and clothed. He needs al manner of tinsel trumperies to deals his ohildrea,his wife and his gods. Besides, he must haee plenty of sweetmeats, dreadful mawkish compounds of butter and milk and auger, flavored with spine—he needs these to melts merry with when all the ablutions are happily over for the year and every god has been properly propitiated. Fartber,he wants no end of oil to keep his little lamps (religious and domestic) going. It is curious to note how kerosene and matches are used in the remotest Indian village. In order to provide him with thane and several hundred other thinge which I cannot now remember, ti porfeet army of grain sellers, leather worker's, water oarriera, jewelers, and, in short, men of every Crede that has the remotest hope of making anything out of the pilgrims, all crowd to the spot. Round the edge of tkie vast heterogeneous mase there hangsa long fringe of beggars. On the head of this fringe are Brahmans. These boldly claim and obtain charity as a right.

Charity is not Givetr to relieve distress in others, but to smooth the donor's path to heaven. Some Curious Echoes. One of the most remarkable echoes in the whole world, because it is at once artificial and natural, is that which the suspension. bridge over the Menai Straits produces. If one of the, piers be struck with a hammer, for example, the sound is not only re-echoed from the opposite pier, five hundred feet dietont, but also from eauh of the metallic supports of the roadway, and from the water itself, so that every stroke is multi• plied into a succession of strokes, following at the rate of about five a second. The effeob is that of a kind of metallic brill, sonorous and strident. The chateau of Simonetta, neer Milan, has a curious echo, which repeats the report of a firearm about aixteen times, even when the atmosphere is foggy and consequently unfavorable. In Sussex, .rot far from Shipley church, is an echo that repeats` distinctly phrases of eighteen or twenty syllables. In the Pan. theon at Paris is an echo that causes the noise of a cane falling to the ground to bo reproduced as the report of a gun. Ott of Pompeii's Ruins. Over forty different kinds of surgical in- struments were found in the house of a surgeon at Pompeii. Some resembled the instruments now in use, while others are so completely different from anything of the kind now employed that their nae is entire- ly conjectural. All were inclosed in brass or boxwood cases, and thine even retained the exquisite pohah that they had when buried. Over 700 bottles and vials were take[ from the shop of one apothecary in PompeiiMost of them were of 'angular forme, some being fashioned to resemble certain animals Ir one about a gallon and a half of liquid still remained. On being opened it was found to be a kind of balsam. It began toevaporate rapidly, and waw, therefore, hermetically swami. The First Presbyterian church at Chat- ham will purchase a 52,100 organ.

Ll y eta E�a.I IE1DS 2 SEL]RLr It has often been contended by physiologists and men of science gen- erally, that nervous energy or nerv- ous impulses which pass along the nerve fibres, were only other names for electricity. This seemingly plaus- ible statement was accepted for a time, but has been completely aban- doned since it has been provedthat the nerves are not good conductors of electricity, and that the velocity of a nervous impulse is but 100 feet per second—which is very ranch slower than that of electricity. It is now generally agreed that nervous energy, or what we arb pleased to call nerve fluid, is a wondrous, a mysterious force, in which dwells life itself. A very eminent opeoialist, who has studied profoundly the workings of the nervous system for the last twenty -vivo years, has lately demon- strated that two-thirds of all our ailments and chronic diseases axe due to deranged nerve centres within nr at the base of the brain. All knew that an injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis to the body below the ]ujared point. The reason for this is, that the nerve force is prevented by the injury from ? e.e,hina the paralyzed portion. ,Again, when food is taken into the stymach troubles, stomach, it comes in a:ntaob wins numberless nerve fibres in the walls of this organ, which at once send m nervous impulse to the nerve centres which control the stomach, notifying them of the presence of food; where- upon the nerve centres send down a supply of nerve force or nerve fluid, to at ones begin the operation of digestion. But let the nerve centres which control the stomach be de- ranged and they will not bo able to respond with a sufficient supply of nerve force, to properly digest the food, and, as a result, indigestion and dyspepsia make their appearance. So it is with the other organs of the body, if the nerve centres which con- trol them and supply them with nerve force become deranged, they are also deranged. The wonderful success of the remedy known as the Great South American Nervine Tonic is duo to the fact that it is prepared by one of the most eminent physicians and specialists of the age, and is based on the foregoing scientific discovery. It possesses marvellous powers for the cure of Nervousness, Nervous Prostra tion, Headache ,Sleeplessness, Restlessness, St: Hive's Dance, Men- tal Despondency, Hysteria, Heart Disease, Nervousness of Females, Hot Flashes, Sick Headache.
