AUGUST 19 1870. 7� Singular Detection of a Murderer. As illustrating quick perception and rare presence of mind, Chamber's Journal vouch- es for the truth of the following story, which was c rriginally published under the guise of fiction : Caroline G , a good-looking, finely proportioned young girl, lived as a lady's maid with a fashionable young widow, ra- ther passe. . One evening, after having as- sisted at her mistress' toilet for a dinner party, she amused herself, before putting away the various articles scattered about the room, in trying on a pair of silk stock- ings and dress shoes belonging to her` mis- tress, and having done so, she viewed her well-turned Lim bs with complacency, saying aloud' : " There's a leg for a stocking, and there's a foot for a shoe." Having satisfied herself as to their symmetry, she divested herself of her borrowed plumes, . put the room to rights sod awaited -the return of hermistress, whom she saw into bed. " That was the last time she saw her alive. She was found in the morning murdered in her bed—the jewel .case anct plate chest broken open and robbed. The robber and murder- er left no trace by which he could be cap- tured',and, in spite of a nio:,t dilligent search escaped. Three years after, Caroline was engaged in a similar capacity by a lady who took her to Paris. She had almostforgot- ten the murder, and, if she thought of it, it. was not with any hope of discovering the Criminal. It happened that she was walking in one of the public promenades one afternoon, when as she passed a group of men,- she heard these words : " There's a leg for a stocking, and there's a foot for a shoe." In a moment 'the events of the evening before her mistress was murdered flashed on her memory. And now for her marvelous presence of mind, pretending not to here heard anything, she glanced sideways at the group of men. She saw there were three, but she could not tell; which of them had .spoken. She walked slowly past there, then stopped in an unde- cided manner, and finally turned back, and walked up to them, she asked to be direct- ed to a certain street. As she expected, 'all of them had a. word for her, and among the voices she easily recognized the one that had just spleen. The language and looks were both very free, but she only told them -that they were very impertinent, and that she would get the inforrhation she wanted from the first gendarme. She thus averted suspicion, if they' Watched her speaking to a policemen. The next difficulty was how to inform a gendarme what she wanted ; she -rad onIy been a fortnight in France, and knew scarcely a word of French. She. however, carried a pocket dictionary with her, to assist in making purchases, and as a means of acquiring a little French. Going'. over to a bench, she sat down and searching through the dictionary, found the, words she wanted,. and she then wrote them with a pencil on the fly leaf of the dictionary. 'The sentence ran thus : " Gendarmes je avoir besoin vaus arreter un meuterier." The grammar was not very correct, as dictionari- es do not teach syntax, but the gendarme understood it, and in another minute held the murderer in his grasp. He was after- wards convicted and hung on the girl's tes- timony. What War Costs before it Beans. When great nations commence to fight, their ownpeople and the people of other na- tions make ready for the disturbance. Trade is broken up, credit is shaken, the value of property becomes uncertain, invested nio- neys must find uncommon security, and ti- mid capital shrinks into concealment. The fright and confusion thus brought into the •commercial world is of itself a gigantic evil and if war resulted in no other -injury to nnankind than this, it would well deserve =alt the maledictions ever uttered against it. It is of course impossible to ascertain, even approximately and in figures, the .amount of damage done by such a panic, and still more so to track it through all the channels of robbery and misery in which it results, at last, in the privations, sorrows and ruin of unnumbered homes. But one branch of the work it leaves is palpable ; for it is represented by the depreciation of values upon the stock exchanges of the world. Every dollar of the public securi- ties issued by different nations is , held by somebody, and its owner finds himself worth, after the declaration of war, less than before. The London Economist of July 16, has- un-dertaken to estimate the amount of this loss;, as shown by the fall in securities in the •eight days between July 4, the day before the first alarm in the French Chamber of Deputies,and July 12, when the war panic first reached its` height._ In this, one week the value of French rentes fell 30,000,0001: ; that of British -consols 8,315,000/- ; that of . Italian bonds 8,315,0001. that of United States loans 12,600,0001. ; and the total loss of value in the securities: -sold in London was no less than 76,295,000/. ; or not far from $400,- 000,000, without including .the stocks of Germany, Austria, Belgium, Holland and some other countries, of which no sales are made in London. In railway stocks . a similar depression took place; and in -those of . eleven promi- nent English lines alone, theie was a fall in value of 2,437,0001. ` The total loss of pro- perty to investors by the mere declaration of this aggressive war is certaintly :far more than five hundred omilliAs of dollars ; a .greater amount, perhaps, than it was ever before in the power of one man's crime to destroy, and whichl as the _Economist justly .says, implies individual suffering difficulty to over-estimate. This is the beginning ; 'but it is not by figures or by words that men -will express the end of streh a war; --W. •Y. Post. - Patent PortableAaas Apparatus. On Tuesday evening we had the pleasure of witnessing the operation of a new Porta- ble Gas Machine, patented in March last by - Henry Totten, for the purpose of manufac- turing pure Carburrotted *Hydrogen Gas, and we must say that we,never saw a finer or more brilliantlight of any description. 'The process of manufacturing this gas, which we feel quite confident will be almost univer- sally adopted wherever the simplicity of machine, and the cheapness and excellence of the light becomes known, is worthy of particular notice. A mixture of sulphuric acid and water is placed in a vessel with iron turnings, the ccmbination generating hydrogen gas, which is forced through the light oils of the petroleum series, taking up the carbon, and burning in any ordinary burner. The machine being automatic in its working, after it is charged with the ma- terials, only the quantity of gas actually used is generated; and it requires no more attention until the materials become ex- hausted, when they are to be drawn of ,:and replaced with a fresh supply. The length of time each machine will run, depends upon its size and the number of ligths used,: and we are assured that the gas cttn be manufac- tured by consumers at a cheaper, rate than ordinary coal gas, and we can vouch from actual observation, that it is of a much su- perior quality -1,000 feet being equal to 3,000 feet of coal gas in illuminating pro- perties—that is, when a light requiring the consumption of 6 feet of coal gas per hour, is used, one consuming only 2 feet per hour of this gas answers the same purpose. Then another important consideration is claimed for this invention, from the fact that the re- fuse sulphate of iron, it preserved, will sell for more than -the original cost of the ma- terials. The gas generating machine is perfectly safe, and does not necessarily re- quire to be in the building. but may be placed in' an outhouse. The gas requires no purification, as it contains no impurities common to coal gas, and the absence of any su 1 ph a reo us gases, assures its adcption to any and all places where health is to be consi- dered, or any valuable goods are liable to be injuried or tarnished by the impurities common to -coal gas. In May last, Messrs. H. and N. Totten also patented a outlier for vaporizing the'light oils. A reservoir is placed at the top of the chandelier into which the oil is placed, from whence it pas- ses into the burner, and by a continous heat the oil is vaporized, and burns at the mouth similar to any ordinary gas burner. The light from the burner is equal to about 3 coal oil lamps, and at about one-half the cost of one lamp. A number• of our mer- ehants in Dundas are already using this light in their stores. These valuable in- ventions are well worthy the attention of all interested in securing cheap and brilliant lights, 'and we have no doubt the Messrs. Totten will ere long have them introduced in most of the towns in this Province.— Dundas Banner. A Lesson on Perseverance. At a recent Sabbath School concert in an eastern city, an anecdote was related to the 1 children, which is too good to be lost. It illustrates the benefit of perseverance in as strong a, manner as ever did a Bruce. One of the corporation of the city being in want of a boy in their mill, a piece of paper was tacked on one of the posts in a prominent place, so that the boys could flee it as they passed. The paper read : "Boy wanted ---call at the office tomor- row morning." • A.t the time indicated, a host of boys were in waiting at the gate. All were admitted, but the overseer was a little perplexed as to the -best way of choosing one from so many, and he` said :— "Boys, I only want one, and `here are , a great many ; how shall I choose ?" After thinking a moment, he invitod them all into the yard, and driving a nail: into one of the large trees, and making a' short stick, told: them that the boy with could hit the nail with the stick, standing a little distance from the tree, should have the place. The boys all tried hard; and af- ter three trials. each, signally failed to hit the nail. The boys were told to come again next morning, and this time, when the gate was opened, there was but one boy, who, after being admitted, picked up the stick, and throwing it at the nail, struck it every time. How is this?" said the What have you been doing9" " You see, sir, I have a poor old mother, and 1 am a poor boy ; I have no father, sir, and 1 thought I should like to get the place, and So help her all I can ; and after • going home yesterday, 1 drove a nail into the barn, and have been trying to hit it - ever since, and I have come down this morning to try again." The boy was admitted to the place. 'Many years have passed since then, and now this bay is a prosperous and . wealthy man, and at the time_of the accident at the Pemperton Mills, he was the first to step forward with a gift of one thousand dollars to relieve the sufferers. His success carie .6y perseverance. overseer. A respectable married woman, in Missou- ri, a few days ago, made up her mind tr bring her earthly existence to an abrupt close, and with that purpose in view provid- ed. herself with a Colt's navy revolver and' a dose of opium. The opium failed in its effect, but brought such a stupor. upon her - that when she sab"sequently attempted to finis tie work with, the revolter' the ball went wide of its. (nark, and she hadn't the courage ter try it again. Belladonna is said to be an efficient remne- dy for opiui i eating.
