History of the Barber's Pole.
01 all symbols, none is so ancient as the
barber's pole; few have caused so much
antiquarian research. According to the
n Athenian Crack," the ancient Romans
-were iso benefited by the first barber who
eiune to their city that they erected a
estatne to his memory. Anciently barbers
acted in a final capsoity as hair -dressers
ana surgeons. In Rome they were wont
hang out, at the end of their pole, basins,
ehat weary and weunded travelers might
eibeezve them at a distance. The » parti.
nolured staff is said to indicate that surgery
twee carried on within, the colonstripe
representing the fillet elegantly entwined
sound the patient's arm while he was
pblebetornized. An »illuminated missal of
the time of Edward 1.» has a plate repre.
sentimg a patient, staff in hand and arm in
Mat, undergoing »phlebotomy. Barbers
proper—that is, haindressers and barber
eargeons—were distinguished by the color
ne the bands on the' poles, the former hav-
ing a blue and the latter a red. As far
back as 1797 barbers and surgeone were
=impelled by statute to dieplay their poles,
the latter likewise affixing gallipot and red
mg at the end. The fabulist Gay, in his
/able on the "Goat Without a Beard,"
alluding to a barber's shop, speaks of the
zed rag pexident» from the pole.—All the

The Perfect Rand.
As for the perfect hand, it is rarely one
nernee »upon it nowadays. The wrist should
be 'mend and dimpled, too; the delicate,
eaner fingers ehonld turn backward at the
tip of the rosy finger nails; the skin should
tra of a soft whitenese.
And, now, a word of adv1ce, says the
Denton Traveller. Wear rings in proportion
to the ugliness of •your hands; and, pray,
if your band is worth showing, do not hide
it under sparkling stones that anybody can
bun -
Another sword of advice: When you
n' do " your nails, don't put too high a
polish upon them or file them into too
abarp points; the happy medinra is the
baiter forte.

A NEGRO ARRESTED.
A murder showing the titnaost eavagery•
wad bearing startling resemblance to the
Leooney tragedy a year and a fortnight ago
aroused the residents of Merchentville, N.
J., and vicinity overly last Friday evening.
Mrs. Annie Miller, the 29-year.old wife of
john Miller, a tenant farmer ocoupyingnhe
Initholeon farm, a mile and a half south,
east of Merobantville, had been abeent for
thirty hours without an explanation. She
had gone to Mocirestown On Thursday
morning, but , she had not returned. In-
quiries were made in every direction, and
it was soon learned that she 'had not only
left Mooreetown on Thursday afternoon,
but bad reached Merchantville at about 2
o'clock, where she mede Bonne purchaseat
William Smith's store and it thebutcher's
shop.
LAST SEEN OP THE WOMAN I. ALIVE.
Paosing out of Delerohantville by the
Blatalatown road, Mrs. Miller had called
upon her mother, who lives on Pditoheson
avenue just outside, and on her way home.
She left her mother's house at 3 o'clock, and
walked up Mitcheeon ayeenue. Little Mellie
Du Haddleway and her younger brother,
ohildren of a neighbor, passed her and spoke
to her, as ehe walked on to the piece of
dense woodland to make a short oat to her
home. A hundred yards ahead of Mee,
Miller the children saw a negro in gum
boote,blue overalle and elouch hanalso enter
the woods. That waa the lent seen of Mrs.
Miller alive.
Here was a clew that promised well and
it was instantly grasped. A Be:arching party
was quickly organized by Constables Naylor
and Carlin and Farmer Binchman. The
eearohers formed a line that moved care-
fully through the thick woods. They had
been namely organized when two of Hit ch.
man's men exclaimed :
Here she is 1 "
"My God, she's murdered 1 " was the
next cry.
The searchers soon gathered and they
had a horrible spectacle before them. Mrs.
Millee's corpse lay half hidden in a growth
of brush. A ghastly knife wound had
almost eevered her head from the trunk,
and it hung by a mere shred of skin. Her
thick black hair was disheveled. The body
waa in an unnatural position and had
evidently been hastily dragged t� the spot.
A SHOCKING 1,11311DER.
Evidences of a mighty struggle were
developed at every turn. The ram which
began to beat down in the morning had not
effaced the earth's indentations nor dinar -
ranged the half-dozen articles the poor
women had carried. Her left hand had
been caught in the teeth of her aesailant,
and was chewed by the demon. The index
finger alone had, escaped his teeth.
Mrs. Miller had evidently made a
supreme effort for her life had grasped the
man by the throat, and belled loosened her
hand with hie month. He bad doubtless
bent her head back, just as poor Annie
Leconey's head was bent, and with awful
energy had drawn his knife across and
into the throat, mining clear into the
spinal vertebra. Her linen collar had bean
torn from her neck and thrust aside. It
was found saturated with blood. Her
handkerchief, bonnet, umbrella, a package
of sansages and some grectries she had
purohnsed in » Merchantville were found
close by the &saner corpse, and all were
gathered np, but her pocket -book was
nowhere to be found
Most important of all, however, was
picked up a torn fragment of blue flannel.
It was ree little thing, but it will play a
highly important mission in the solving of
Mrs. Miller's murder.
The startling discovery was heralded
over the country instantly, and people
began to emit about for Mrs Miller's
slayer.
THE NEGRO LINGO SUSPECTED
Francis Lingo's name passed from lip
to lip as if some mysterious power had
breathed it. Lingo was the big negro
who was first arrested for the znurder» of
Annie Leconey. Just as he had been
working for Charikley Leconey then, so
he had been working for John Miller,
and just as he had failed to tarn
tip for his breakfast a year ago
he failed here. He was expected at
the farm on Thursday » morning and
Mrs. Miller had prepared his breakfast
before ber departure for Moorestown,
but he did not come for it. He appeared
at the farm, however, but said he could
not work, as he had to go to Philadelphia,
and he left. He failed to appear,
yesterday, and Mr. Miller supposed' that
the threatening weather had, eept him
away.
Where is Frank Lingo ?" went up
from everybody.
Constable Carlin went in search of »the
man and fennel him unconcernedly talking.,
to a group of men near John Ciumpnt house
in Matolitown. e,
THE SUSPECT CAUGHT. ,
" I want you, Frank," said the officer.
"What you want me fob? I ain't done
nothin'."
Well, Mrs. Miller has been
mur-
dered."
"It do beat h—l. When ane body's

exclaimed the negro.
Lingo was taken to the lookup et Men.

boots, a light coat and slouch hat, and fit-
ted the description of the negro the Du
Haddleway cbildren saw in advance of
Mee. Miller. It was found that he had not
gone to Philadelphia on Thursday, and his
explanations of hip movements were seine -
what misty.
County Physician • Iszard, Coroner
Stanton, Assistant Prosecutor Ridgway
and Detective Warner reached the scene of
the murder and took charge. A eary was
summoned, and they viewed the • body.
The superficial examination failed to show
whether the murderer had been guilty of
any other crime, and a post mortem will be
held to -day. After these arrangemente
the offioials drove back to Merohantville
and subjected Lingo to a eevere examine.

The negro was compelled to strip in the
dark ode built of heavy hemlock planking,
and be kept his little beaded eyes fastened
upon the officers at every movement. They
examined every article of »hia clothing, but
could find no traces of Pend, for which
they were evidently looking, Lingo looked
on apparently unconcerned, but trembling
slightly and readily answering all gems-
Hons.
A BOLD FACE ASSUMED.
" Lingo, there were narks of gum boots
about the scene of this retarder," pat
forth Dr. Iszerd. "Do you know any-
body elee around here who wears gum
boots ?" » » •
ii Yea, sah ; oh, yen!'
This prisoner could not, however, name
any one» he knew who Woo such foot
covering.
Ae a last move the Officers produced the
bide flannel shirt Lingo had taken off. It
wiia torn in many places.
"Yes, Bah; thaint my blue ehirt," said
the negro; "it's the only lalne shirt Tete
got." These latter words be repeseed gen.

"How was it torn here in the sleeve ? "
he was asked, s
"Guess hit Waa ton »at work," replied
the negro warily, » •'
"Why this shred fits this torn place,

The little fragment of blue flannel found
by the corpse »in the Woods had began to

The book is a novel possessing very little dra-
matic interest or literary merit. Its apparent
object, as appears not only from its text, but
from thee author's preface, is to teach not only
that celibacy hi better than marriage, but that
rearriege itself is a fall from a pure and Innocent
state, is contrary to the teachings of Christ and
inimical .to man's higheet and beet spiritual
interests; that the true » ideal of a Christian
life »is a life of celibacy and of abeolute
perpetual and unconditional continence and
chastity. 5 * * If in his book
he has come » to the . conclusion that marriage
is an impure and unholy state of life it must be
admitted that he denounces libertinism, lewd.'
nese arid it dissolute life in terms still nacre
severe. V be teaches that the marriage state is
a fall from absolute purity and virtue he at the
same time anathematizes a libidinous life 'and
licentious practipes. If he opposemarriage as
leeslaure and holy than a single life' he at the
same time scourges lust and debauchery.with
whip of scorpions. There is nothing in this
beak which can by any possibility be said to
commend licentiousness, or to make it in any re-
spect attractive, or to tempt ally ono to ite com-
miesion. On the oontrary, all his teachings
paint lewdness and immorality in the most re-
volting colors, nor is there any obscenity or in-
decency in the language used, or in the story
told, however it may offend a refined taste, *
13u1 a careful and critical reading of the whole
book has clearly convinced us that itis not lis,ble
to the charge of either obscenity or indecency.
As we have already said, its whole purpose and
scope is to denounce those viees in the Severest
manner. * The courtwae reminded upon
gegument that the Czar of Ruda and the post -
office officielei of the United States have con-
demned thie book as 'an unlawful publication
that the fotmer hos prohibited its' sale within

transmission through the mane, Without dis-
paraging in any degree the respect due to these
high officials within their respective spheres, I
can only say that neicher of there has ever been
