EDISON'S BUG.
JL Curious Invention of the Electric Wiz-
St. Louis Republic,
I wonder how mariv ever heard
the wonderful storji of how Edison
made a bug? It happened away back
in 1880 or 1881, before the electri
cian had become a pount and known
in the most jemotp come 's of the
world. There had been two or three
persons killed by the electric , wires,
and people . werej spriduslv contem
plating some plan to 'get them out
pf the way and still keep the new
ronderful white light.;
Edison proposedj that tlie i wires be
put in the gas j pipes; b it how on
earth was the pipesjjto be ' threaded"
twith the electric wires? j ;'".

DISCOVERY' OF PORCELAIN.
An Apothecary's Boy Stumbles by Acci

During the reign of Frederick I.,
King of Prussii, an apothecary's boy
named Frederick ! Botticher claimed
that he had discovered the philoso
pher's stone. The King pricked up
his ears at; the news. A man who
could make gold was much needed
at that time. But when! young Fritz
was summoned to the royal presence
he was afraid, and fled from Berlin
to Wittenberg, n Saxony. There he
found his fame had preceded him.
When Frederick demanded his return,
the Saxons refused to give him up.
They, too, wanted to find put the se
cret of gold-making, The boy was
in an awkward predicament. But by
some slight-of-hand tricks he impos
ed upon the credulity of the Saxon
court. i . - .
And now began a period of splen
did misery. The Elector, Augustus:
II., wrote hifn a beautiful letter,;
made him a nobleman and promised,
further rewards, liberty itself, if!
Fritz would reveal his secret. Un-j

So he was carefully watched and

of course,! for ! he was looked upon
almost'as one pf the royal treasures
so that whenever an invasion wa
threatened he was locked up in the
strong tower of Koningstein. I

wrath of the Elector- : '
A few ; years later.! in 1710, Bot
ticher made a still more important;
discovery. Noticing one morning
that the hair-powder lused upon the
wig was unusually thick and heavy,
he inquired what it .was made of,
and learned it was simply powdered
white clay from a place called Aue
in Saxony. He lost1 no time in pro
curing a. specimen of the clay.; Now,
in fact, lit was nothing more nor less
thdfc kaolin. Botticher made vessel.
from the kaolin,, fired them, and dis
covered the priceless, secret of. mak
ing genuine porcelain. . . r v r
He now adopted the wise resolu
tion of making a clean breast of the
whole thing. He confessed the fraid
of the past, but assured the Elector
that he; was in possession of a secet
as valuable as the art of transmuting
gold. He then produced the porce
lain vessels. Augustus was delight
ed. He forgave the: young man, but
would not give him!-the liberty he
craved.! 1 The chemist was as great
an acquisition as the
alchemist his
allowed to get

was started in the neichborhood of

HANGING A WOMAN.
A Terrible Scene in the Early Daya or
1 . California. ; :t
: Rocky Mountain News. i
At Downey ville, j California, on
July 5, 1851, was enacted the most
awful tragedy that ever stained the
annals of California In one of the
adobe houses there! dwelt; with her
Spanish paramour a' young woman
named Juanita, of the mixed Spanish
and Mexican-race, and of remarkable
beauty. As some American miners
were walking past her house late on
the night of July 4, 1851, full of pa
triotism and something else a good
deal stronger,, one of their number
named Cannan stumbled ! against a
ight, rudely constructed door, and
fell half inside the dwelling. As! he
was helped to his feet by his friends
jthe words, "Hush! Come out; there's
a woman living in that house," he
picked up a handkerchief or some
such trifle from the floor, j His com
rades got it away from hirri with some
difficulty arid threw it back into the
house. ; I ' . ! ! ! I ' :-.f::.
i The next morning Cannan, sober
bow, persuaded one! of his compan
ions of the night before td accompa-v
by him to Juanita's house that he
might apologize for the j slight dis
turbance he had created there. The
woman's paramour met them at the
!door, appeared angry, and seemed to
threaten Cannan, but as their conver
sation was! wholly! in Spanish, of
which Cannan's friend was ignorant.
he could not tell what passed. Then
the woman herself came to the door
and seemed even more angry than
her male companion, i Cannan, as it
seemed to his friend to pacify them,
spoke in a conciliatory tone,' but
his wtrds, whatever they were, only
increased the woman's anger, i and
before either of the Americans had
the slightest conception iof her pur
pose, she drew a knife, rushed at
Cannan and plunged it into his heart.
He fell dead at her feet. ;
The citizens at once ; assembled,
elected a judge and jury, and pro
ceeded to try the woman and her
inale companion forthwith. The
Woman's sole defense was ; that
Cannan's breaking iriTo her house at
nighjt and using insulting language
to her on the following morning had
made her act perfectly! justifiable,
!and even if it were not she had been
beside herself with ragejat the! time
so as to be; wholly irresponsible.
The case was closed, and the jury,:
without wasting any time in deliber
ation, promptly found ;the woman,
guilty of murder in the first degree!
and sentenced her to death. . The
sentence was carried out that same!
afternoon, j Juanita never lost her!
composure or her cheerfulness;;
surrounded by her friends and chat
ing gayly ;with them, she walked
with firm, elastic step to! her death.j
Without , a! tear or a j tremor she!
mounted a ladder to an improvised!
scaffold. Her beautiful; black! hair
was neatly! braided and she was taste-
fully and richly dressed, j She made
short speech, saying that she did
not regret what she had done, as she!
had merely inflicted a well deserved
punishment upon a man who had
grossly insulted her, and that if hef
life were to be spared, she would
again-act in precisely the same way
under the same provocation, j With
her own-hands she passed the noose:
over her head and arranged the! ropej
Then, with a graceful wave Of her
unbound hands !and a cheerful

that he had been instructed by the com-j
mittee to move to strike out the third
section, which fixes penalties for the ofj
fence of entering j into a trust or combi--
nation. :.. . '" "'!'". I
Mr. Georee opdosed the bill both on
the ground of its inemeiency (if the bill
was constitutional) and on the ground
that Congress ha4 not the -onstitutional
power to enact it. He regarded thesub?
ject matter as thej most important that
was likely to come oeiore congress; ana
therefore he had prepared his remarks
with some care. He went on to read
his speech from printed sups, j Mr.
Georere's arsrumerit was mainly of a lef
gal and technical bharacter. designed td
prove that it wou'id be impossible ever
to get.a conviction under the bill; and as
to civil suits provided for in it, he , said
that few such suits would ever be in
stituted, and not one would be successj
ful. He characterized the bill as an
abortion that would aggravate rather
than diminish the evil. . (
Mr. Reaean then gave notice of an
amendment which he intended to offer
to the bill (being the bill offered by him
on the 4th of December last.) s j I

floor was accorded to the contestee, Mr.

duty to speak in his own behalf, al
though he knew that he was addressing
a jury which was prejudiced against him.
He believed that he had carried the
First district of West Virginia bv means

ever been used in any election in the
history of the country. He reviewed the
evidence in detail, 4controvertirfg the
statements made by the supporters pf

reiterated his ideclaration that he
had been fairly and honestly elected.

Manhboo,?Va., April 7, 188SS.
Foir a year I have been suffering with a form of Kid
ney Disease which my physician (Dr. J. A. Hillman)
thought was Diabetes, and advised the use of Otter
burn Litbia and Magnesia Water. The quantity of
urine passed was greatly in excess of the natural sc
cretion, and I lost forty pounds of flesh in a few
months. The use of the Otterbuurn Water corrected
this excessive flow entirely in six weeks, and I am
again a well man. 1 i i
1 I tried many medicines Without avail, and I attribute
my cure of this troublesome and dangerous disease en
tirely to the use of the Otterbum Water. -

"A lady here has been entirely relieved of a severe
attack of Rheumatic Gout. She found such

Richmond, Va.,-April 8, 18S; .
I have been suffering for years with a complication
of Liver and Kidney trouble, suffering great pain in
the repon of the kidneys and having my attention
called to the Otterbum Lithia and Magnesia Water 1
commenced to use it, and never experienced such re
lief from anything. The very first half-sallon in
creased the flow of urine and cleared it up MV anoe
tite has 1 been restored, and I feel that 1 cannot c!
mend the Water too highly. I , R. F. WALKER.
j ' Mannboro, Va., March 17, 1SSS.
! When I commenced the used of the Otterbum Lit Wa
and Magnesia Water, on the 88th of January last, 1
had no faith in any mineral water. I had been suffi-r
fng for over three years with a disease that vas pro
nounced by a pionounced by a prominent physician of
Richmond to be an affection of the Kidneys, after
making a scientific test.
: . I had only used the Water one week when I was en
tirely relieved of pain, which before had been constant -and
at times acute, and I have gained nineteen pounds
;in flesh, with a restoration of strength and energy. I
gave the Water a fair test, using no other water and
taking no medicine. H. C. GREGORY.
'' ' Amelia C. H.,'VA.i, December 15, laSG.
i I have been a Dyspeptic for the past fifteen years,
and lately have suffered with Derangement of my Uri
nary Organs, evidenced by great difficulty in voiding
the urine. About six months ago I commenced the
use of the Otterbum Lithia and Magnesia Springs
Water, and since that time there has been marked arid
gradual improvement in my entire condition and state
of health. My digestion is better than it has been for
-five or six years, and the urinary trouble is entirely re
lieved, and has been for the past two months.
