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.

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.
