A strange sight -eing a garden walk. A precocious lad, rpon returning from school the other day, told h.s parents the teacher htd adopted capital punishment. It seems he had been dcing penance for a misdemeanour by sitting all the afternoon in a front seat with one of the girls. Husband Wnat shall we do for my wife to- day ? Doctor—Keep her from talking for three hours, and she will get well. Husband—Well, as you go down town, step into the undertaker's and leave the order, will you. Wife (to an unhappy husband)—I wouldn't worry, John it doesn't do any good to borrow trouble." Husband — Borrow trouble? isesar, my dear, I ain't borrowing trouble. I've got it to lend." S5Father Ain t you going to work ■' Lazy son « Guess not.' I don't understand how anybody can loaf such weather as this. Why, ttisarealphaturetowork now.' 'I know it, but I don't want to give myself up to mere pica" sure and enjoyment.' A: Do you. know where the custom of the mothers taking their marriageable daughters to the watering places originated ?' B 'I have no idea.' Well, it dates baek to the days of Abra- ham. You know it was at a well that Rebecca found her husband." Crushed ngtin.—Envious young man (speak* ing of favo ired rival): « Yes, George is clever and handsome, but he is so confoundedly con- ceited. Siiarp young lady 'But, Mr Suiitb, it ycu were handsome and clever, would not you be conceited ?' (Collapse of Smith.) Lover (passionately)—' My sweet! My dar- hng I love you with all my heart! Be mine Fair Maiden—' Oh, William, this is so sudden: I must have time." Lover—' No, no I must have my answer now, for I have my eye on another girl. She: Harry, I wish you would quit using tobacco I m afraid you'il injure your health.' lie Have no fear, my dear; my grandfather has used tobacco all his life and he is eighty years old, She: Well, just think how old he might be if he had not used it.' In one of the courts lately there was long and learned discussion between opposing conn- leI as to whether a witness should be allowed to answer the question, What did Mary say ?' The Judge gave a long and elaborate opinion in the amrma„ive, and the question being repeated, the answer was, She didn't say a word.' Very shortly after the death of his first wife, Scotch laird made arrangements for a second damage, and on asking his son, a well kno wn author, to be present on the occasion, the latt r replied that he regretted he was unable to e tend, in consequence of the recent death of his mother. Judge Jeffreys, of notorious niemory, pointing to a man with his cane who was about being tried, said, 'There is a ^reat rogue at the end of my care." The man to whom he pointed. looking at him, said, At which end, my lord.' His worship was struck dumb. Reprisals.-Tradesman (to old gentleman, who bus purchased a lawn-mower) Yes, sir, I'll oil it, and send it over imm Customer (inr peratively); • y0> no> no -it mustn't be oiled. I wont have it oiled!

A lady who had been abroad was describing some of the sights of her trip to her friends But what pleased me most of anything,' she continued, -was the Strasburg clock.' 'Oh, how I should love to see it, gushed a sweet companion, 'I am so interested in such foreign sighst. And did you see the Watch on the Rhine, too? That's four times you have tried the bank door to-day,' said one of the patrols to a young man on the steps of a savings bank yester- day. "\es Sir.' on must be very anxious.' am, Sir. My father-in-law gave my wife this oO dollar cheque as a Christmas present, and until I know whether it's good or not I can't rest. A Waterworks company advertised for a thorougnly competent clerk. Among the can- didates was one gentleman who had excellent reo ferences, anc whose personal appearance made a favouraole impression. On being questioned in the department; he stated that he had been employed for upwards of 20 years with a firm of wine merchants Hostess -'My dear Miss Howler, won't you fling. something for us? I'm afraid people are finding things fearfully dull.' Miss Howler— Really, Mrs Brown, I'm afraid you must excuse me. i m awfully hoarse to-night.' Hostess— Oh, my dear, thai won't make the slightest difference. Nobody will listen, for they'll all begin to talk directly you begin to sing, and I Just want something to start the conversation." emotions that are followed up by their appro- priate actions have a tendency to decrease and perish. This soft-hearted tenderness and ready sympathy, if allowed to expend themselves with- out producing any practically effort to relieve suffering or to give happiness will grow feebler and feebler, until they degenerate into a puerile sell-pity which makes even cruelty and injustice possible. J Husband (at breakfast)—'I had an awful dream last night, dear.' Wife—' What was it John ? Husband — I dreamed that your mother was out riding and the horses ran away- Justas they approached a frightful precipice, with a sheer declivity of 500 fuet—' Wife (pale faced) —'Oh John, that was awful!' Husband —' I woke up and found it was a dream. It was simply terrible Come, let me pin this dainty spray. Fast in your buttonhole,' said she. Twa» then he passed beneath her sway, No longer heart and fancy free. But when two years of married life Had passed she wept and critd, Ah, me Wb} did you take me for your wife V 'You buttonholed me dear,' said he. Professor Romones tells a story about a little girl, showing what perplexing problems children can suggest. She was silently watching her father write his sermon, and after some time put to him the somtwhat difficult qtiestion 'Papa, does God tell you what to write in a sermon ?' With a little hesitation our clerical friend replied in the affirmative, whereupon he w<ss ignominiously nonplused by the question—'Then, papa, why do you scratch it out again ?' Johnnie, a bright boy of six years, while be' ing fixed up for school, observing his little over- coat much the worse for wear, and having more mended places than he admired, turned quickly to his mother and asked—' Ma, is pa rich ? Yes very rich, Johnnie he is worth two mil- lions and a half.' What in, ma? Oh he values you at one million, and baby at half a million.' Johnnie, after thinking a moment, said—' Ma, tell papa to sell the baby and buy us some clothes.' One is played out and t'other played 111.- 'There is this difference, said Mr Oldboarder, between rehashed meat and rehashed stories Everybody knows what is in the story, but all the sum of human knowledge; can't guess what is in the hash.' Hence, saul the landlady, we weary of the one, while the other is a constant excitant and an unfailing zest.'

ANOTHER LONDON MYSTERY. The 'Star' of Tuesday night, in a late edition, publishes the following account of a supposed murder and mutilation A discovery which is held to afford incontestable proof of a murder and mutilation was made in Pimlico to-day. In the canal near Ebury Bridge and Grosvenor- road a policeman's attention was attracted to something at which a number of boys were pelt- ing stones. He had the object of the boys' amusement extricated from the planks of timber amongst which it was entangled, and on exam- ining it he found it to be a woman's arm. He had it at once removed to the station, where it was inspected by Dr. Neville, of Pimlico-road, the police surgeon. The arm had been removed from the shoulder, and, it had evidently been done by an unskilful person. It must have been removed from the body of a person murdered but a day or two, as when touched the blood began to trickle freshly from it. The instru- ment must, too, have been exceedingly sharp, the joint being cut into and the limb re- moved at the shoulder socket. There was a cord tied round the arm above the elbow. The person murdered must have been a very fine young woman, as the arm was fully as long as that of a man of 5ft. lOin. or 5ft. Jlin. There were a few abrasions on portions of the skin, but these might have been caused by knocking against timber in the water.' The police, how- ever, deny all knowledge of the subject. A representative of the Press Association had an interview on Tuesday night with Dr. Neville, of Pimlico, who examined the arm of the young woman. He stated that the limb was cut. cleanly, but not, apparently, with a scientific object, so that it is supposed a murder has been committed. The police are making careful search for the other portions of the body.

REMARKABLE CURE. Mr Albert Bennett (author of "Doomed, or Three Years in a French Prison"), writing in the "Hackney Standard," May 5th, 1888, says —The following remarkable cure has lately been brought under my notice. I am no believer in the infallible remedy of a patent medicine, but the following fact speaks for itself. Some time ago I had the pleasure of meeting Captain R. J. Doughty, well-known navigator who has ploughed the waves for fifty years, and in the course of conversation he told me the following story Some years ago his ship, the "Regina," was at anchor at Buenos Ayres, where he made the nccquaintance of a Captain Coleman, whose vessel was lying at the same port. Captain Coleman had suffered from a bad leg full of holes for seventeen years, and had spent a small fortune on medical advisers, all to no purpose. Captain'Doughty suggested that he should apply some of Holloway's Ointment to the wounds, and although Captain Coleman was very scepti- cal on the point, it was accordingly done. The friends parted; their vessels left the poit. Some time afterwards the vessels passed in mid-ocean, when Captain Coleman signalled to tell his friend that his leg was entirely well, cured solely by the ointment. This is not an adver- tisement but a true story. "That was not the only cure I effected," said Captain Doughty, "for I also cuied a sailor's hand, which was poisoned through rusty iron, and also my chief mate's foot, the toes of which bad been acci- dentally blown off in firing a royal salute in honour of his Majesty of Madagascar. In each case Holloway's Ointment only was used, and I never went a voyage afterwards without a good supply of that patent medicine, which I believe to be the finest cure in the world." At the time when this happened Captain Doughty was a Bristol shipowner.

ANOTHER HORRIBLE MURDER IN WHITECHAPEL. At five minutes to six o'clock on Saturday morning a man named John Davies, living at 29, Hanbury-street, Spitfields, discovered that a woman had been murdered in the yard at the rear of that house, and when the police were called in the circumstances attending her murder raised a strong presumption that she was another victim of, the murderer of Mary Ann Nicholls, in Buck's-row, Whitechapel, only a week pre- viously. The victim was an unfortunate woman, so poor that robbery could not be suggested as a motive. The house 29, Hanbury-street (which is not half a mile from Buck's-row) is tenanted by a man named Clark, a packing- case maker, and-is let in rooms to several people, all very poor and struggling. The front uarlour is in the occupation of Mrs Hardiman, who uses it as a shop for the sale of cat's meat. She and her son also sleep in the room. The back parlour is a sort of sitting.room for the landlady and her family, and looks out upon a yard, at the further side of which stands a shed, where the packing case work is done. The passage of the house leads directly to the yard, passing the door of the front parlour, the yard being about four feet below the level of the passage, and reached by two stone steps. The position of the steps creates a recess on their I left, the fence between the yard and the next house being about three feet from the steps. In this recess John Davies as he crossed the yard at five minutes to six o'clock, saw the body of a woman, her clothes so disarranged as to show that the lower part of her body had been horribly mutilated. The throat had been cut so deeply that the bead was nearly severed from the trunk. Davies called in Police-constable Pinnock, 238 H, who sent information to the Station in Commercial-street. Inspector Chandler and others hurried to the place, and before the body was removed from its position, Mr G. B. Phillips, of Spital-square, was called to examine it. The surgeon said he bad no doubt that the throat was first cut, and the stomach ach subsequently mutilated. The body had been ripped up from the abdomen to the breast bones, and then hacked and gashed until the untrails protruded portions of the flesh hung in shreds, and some of the viscera were on the shoulders. The body was removed as soon as possible to the mortuary of the parishes of Whitechapel and Spitalfields, in old Montague-street, and placed in a shell—the same in which a week before, the hacked body of the pievious victim had been placed. The police description of the body was made out. and before ten o'clock it was identi- fied as that of Annie Chapman, alias Sivey, a name by which she had become known through living with a sieve maker. The police ascer- tained that Chapman was the correct name of the deceased, and that she was the widow of a man who had been a i^lflier or veterinary sur- geon. and from whom, until about twelve months ago, when he died, she had been receiv- ing 10s. a week. Her usual places of abode were the common lodging-houses of Spitalfields and Whitchapel. A stout, well-proportioned woman, of about five feet in height, she was much given to drink, but is described as quiet, and as one who had "seen better days." Detective-inspector Abberline, of Scotland- yard, who had been detailed to make special inquiries as to the murder of Mary Ann Nicholls, at once took up the inquiries with regard to the new crime, the two being obviously the work of the same hands. He held a consultation with Detective-inspector Helson J. Division, in whose district the murder in Buck's-row was committed, and wiih Acting Superintendent Weil: in charge of the H. Division. The result of that consultation was an agreement in the balief that the crimes were the work of one individual only, that the murderers had been committed where the bodies had been found, and that they were not the work of any gang. A careful ex- amination was made of the flooring of the passage and the walls of the neighbouring house, but not a trace of blood was found. It is considered impossible that a body could have boon carried in, supposing no blood had dropped, without arousing from their sleep Mrs Hardiman and her son, past whose bed'room door the murderer would have had to go. There is no doubt the deceased was acquainted with the fact that the house door was always open or ajar," and that she and her murderer stealthily passed into HI" yard. The absence of apool of blood is accounted for by the quantity the clothes would I absorb. The throat was so severed that there" could have been no cry, and tL ie tenaiu of the house agree that nothing was heard to veafe alarm. The back room of tU'-e nrst floor, ,vu f all the yard, is u vjednoo*11' by a man nauitj, Alfred Walker and his father, neither of whom heard a sound. Very early in the day the popular excitement in hitechapel VIaS suddenly sent up to fever heat by the announcement that the man "Leather Apron," accused every where directly and by implication of the whola series of mur- ders, had been arrested. There was no impro- babilityin the report, for Leather Apron" has a strongly marked individuality his haunts are well known to hundreds of persons, and the detective energy of the Metropolitan police has been concentrated for days past upon his cap- ture-. Nevertheless, "Leather Apron" is still at large. An arrest was made, as stated, but the subject proved to be one John Piser, a boot finisher by trade, living at 22, Mulberry street, I and described and known as inoffensive fairly industrious working man. It is said that Piser bears some resemblance to "Leather Apron," and that appears to be the only ground for his arrest. Piser took his arrest very quietly, and accompanied the detective without saying a word to Leman-street Police-station, where he was detained for several hours. Several persons personally acquainted with Leather Apron were afforded the opportunity of examining carefully the features of Piser, but all failed to identify him with that missing desperado. Meanwhile the police had examined the inmates of 22, Mulberrystreet, and had searched the premises form top to bottom, but found that the only instruments capable of being used as lethal weapons were some finishing tools used by Piser in his business. Piser had given at Leman' street an account of his recent movements, which, confirmed by independent testimony and corroborated by the evidence of the police themselves, left the authorities no option but to release their captive, which was done as quietly as possible in the course of the afternoon. The unhappy man, however, was unable to return to his humble home, the whole of Mulberry-street being occupied by an excited and dangerously, exasperated crowd of men and women, attracted thither by the report that the dreaded "Leather Apron" had been arrested in that locality. Piser, therefore, wisely waited until dusk before re'joining the family circle from which he had been so unceremoniously separated. About the hour that Piser was arrested in Whitchapel a telegram was received at Scotland Yard notifying that a very suspicious character had been taken in custody at Gravesend. The man was arrested on Sunday night by Police' constable Vellenstvorth, "on information re* ceived," in the Pope's Head Tavern in that town, and his appearance and demeanour amply justI. fied the course taken. He gave the name of William Henry Pigott. and seemed to be about forty years of age. He was in H very dirty state, which he explained was due to his having tramped from London. Upon his clothing were many stains, apparently of blood, and his shirt was torn and dirty. The forefinger of his left hand was badly wounded, and he had other sus- picious marks about him. On being pressed, Pigott showed considerable trepidation and trembled constantly, either from fear or from the effects of drink. He admitted that he was in Whitechapel on the Saturday morning, not far from the scene of the murder, and that he had an altercation with a woman, in the course of which his finger was bitten. Dotec- tive-mspector Abbeline, of Scotland Yard, pro- ceeded to Gravesend, and on seeing the prisoner was struck with his resemblance to the man who entered the Prince Albert public-house i:i Whitechapel on Saturday iuorning in company, it is said, with the murdered woman, and of whom a description had been issued by the police on information supplied by Mrs Fiddy- mont, the landlady. Pigott was removed, under police escort, to London, and not long after his arrival it was ascertained, practically beyond doubt, that he slept at a common lodg- ing-house in Whitechapel on Friday last—a cir- cumstance which greatly raised the hopes of the police. Pigott's condition did not improve during the journey from Gravesend, and when he arrived, in the custody of Inspector Abbeliuc, at Commercial-street Police-station he was in a state closely resembling that of a man recover- ing from delirium tremens. He had assumed a sullen demeanour, and refused to speak a word to anybody. After extended enquiry, the prisoner was also released.

A REVOLUTION IN POSTAGE. This is an age of novelties, and one of the most startling of them is the one just initiated by the Half- penny Letter Company, of 101. Leadenhall Street, London, whose patent envelope threatens to revolu- tionize our postage system. For a halfpenny they supply a double sheet of paper with an embossed penny stamp, surrounded by advertisements. Thepub- lic cry for a halfpenny postage is, therefore, brought about, and in the course of a few months the company hope to meet the demand estimated at 15.000,000 a month. Itisreasonabietocxpectthatthecombina- tion envelopc sold at -\d. will take the place of the post-card, the issue of which is over 1/0,000.000 yearly. Should this take place, the Government re- venue will be increased < £ -J50,000 annually, so the au- thorities, postal or otherwise, should render every as- sistance to this company. The advantage;; of their patent envelope are manifest, for letters or samples of merchandise up to 1 oz. can be posted in an en- closed envelope for one halfpenny. The company points out to advertisers that the advertisements are brought prominently to the notice of the sender and receiver for some time whilst the subject of the better launder reply or operation. Advertisers are also shown that by using a percentage of the envelopes they advertise upon they effect such a saving of postage that they get their advertisement free and also the coat of stationery.

A LOGIC OF MILTON'S HAIR. — The most precious of all Mr Stoddard's literary relics is a lock of Milton's hair that came to him from his friend G. H. Boker. Boker had it from Lei^h Hunt's American editor, S. Adams Lee, to whom it was given by Hunt himself. Dr. Beatty gave it to Hunt, and Hook, the translator of 'Tasso' gave it to Beatty. Previously it belonged to Dr. Johnson. Hunt could not trace it back further but it is believed to be a portion of the lock attached to a. miniature portrait of Miltou that once belonged to Addison. On these same threads of light-brown gold Hunt wrote a son- net and Keats a poem. But the lock is not so full as in-those days, for Leigh Hunt gave part of it to Mrs Browning. A coiuparjioc locket in Mr Stoddard's possession holds a w'isp of sil- ver hairs from the head of Washington. • Ifollowa) I'ilK —.iAver, I.nags, anil N'idneys. — M.ist di,souses of thc.se depuraHvc organs arise from obstructions, over the removal of which these cele brated Pilla exercise the most perfect control, A coarse of them is strongly recommended as a remedy for chronic affections as liver enlargements, congestion of the )nugs, torpidity of the kidneys, and other func- tional disorders, which cause much present suffering, and if neglected i&y the fouudilio«i» of organic Ulseuheb. liuJ.oway s l'ill 5 ore specially adapted for the young and delicate their purifying action ranks them above all other medicines.

STRANGE OCCURRENCE. The body of a young man, named Harry Evans, was found in the mill dam at Queens- bury, Bradford, on Sunday Morning, and the body of a young woman, named Annie Pickles, was also found, on Monday, in a water- trough, face upwards, and with her arms held out perfectly straight. The trough is only two feet deep, and the girl's legs were hanging over the side. The two had been keeping company, but rumour is said to have reached the girl's j ear that he had been keeping company with another young woman. Evans and Pickles mot on Saturday evening, and, from the con- tents of a letter found in her pocket, they ap- pear to have quarrelled. Her parents, however, doubt whether she actually wrote the letter, as she is illiterate. He had, it is said, told her he would keep her company no longer.
