A Singular Confession,
Prof. Schulte has written a confession
of the burning of the pavilion at Ter
race Springs, Napa. After saying ho
set fire to the building to obtain the in
surance, $750, he says:
“Now, who could do such a deed—
such a wrong deed? one who has al
ready reached the evening of life, proba
bly not distant far from the very hour
when night completely and forever
shrouds the earthly form—one who thus
during almost Qiree score years has
never been accused of any act offensive
to the law ? How couid do such a deed
one who from the early days of student
lire steadily walked in the paths of sci
ence, literature and even art, the litera- •
ture of all nations, ancient and modern,
ti e vernacular of ■yhich he practically
knows and speaks? ’How could do such
a deed one with such attainments, such
Culture—one who ever since he in the
tog of battle had torn from him a limb,
returnable to mother earth, when be
longing to a medical staff some twenty
six years ago; who ever since, I say,
became an able lecturer, a most able in
structor, and as such active and success
ful, more than twenty years in the pri
vate high schools of this State, such as
the old College of California, (now the
Department of Letters in the State Uni
versity,) the defunct Female College of
the Pacific, the Mills Seminary, etc.,
and during his residence in this town,
in the Collegiate Institute, the Ladies’
Seminary, and Oak Mound Academy.
(Alas! that instead of myself another
were to state all this as has in the past
been done, when,indeed, not needed;
my seemingly, and under all other cir
cumstances truly immodest self-lauding,
admitting of no other apology but my
being confined behind prison bars, lone
and severed from friends and the world,
no one having as yet been able to raise
voice in my behalf.) How then, in fine,
could do that wrongful deed one who
was always known—latest in this very
town—to be a man exemplary in his
habit, religious even, in harmony, how
ever, with the advanced and enlightened
convictions of the times; an ever faithful
husband, a good and solicitous father,
who purest happiness found at home
alone; one punctual in his professional
duties, ever industrious and persevering,
affable and honest in all his dealings.
How then? How in the name of all
that’s good and true? How could such
a one do such a deed ? A deed most
wrong and most condemnable! What
could make it possible, not excusable?

was done. Yet when the flames sur

unoccupied and uninhabited, when the

I hastened from the scene. On the fol

in the language of the ancients. To
day, in the solitude of my barred cell, I
inwardly dilate on the prospective hor
ror and privations of a state prison,
with sufferings heightened by the cease

semper justitia'. Yet might not, with
general weighty condemnation,one wee,
light grain of pity mingle?”—San Fran

Cinders in the Eye.
Persons traveling by railway are sub
ject. to continued annoyance from flying
cinders. On getting into the eyes these
are not only painful for the moment,but
are often the cause of long suffering that
ends in a total loss of sight. A very
simple and effective cure is within the
reach of every one, and would prevent
much suffering and expense were it gen
erally known. It is simply one or two
grains of flaxseed. These may be placed
in the eye without injury or pain to that
delicate organ, and shortly they begin
to swell and dissolve a glutinous sub
stance that covers the ball of the eye,
enveloping any foreign substance that
may be in it. The irritation of cutting
the membrane is thus prevented and the
annoyance may soon be washed out. A
dozen of these stowed away in the vest
pocket may prove in an emergency
worth their_number in gold. - wAta-.

Extraordinary Tidal Waves,
The reported damage done by tidal
waves on the Panama Isthmus during
the tropical cyclone and earthquake of
the 7th ult. is suggestive not only of the
connection between these phenomena,
but also of the possibility of predicting
the destructive ocean waves which orig
inate under combined tidal and cyclon
ic influences. The tidal waves reported
from Panama may have been partly due
to the earthquake, but if as violent as
they are represented they must have
been intensified by the great fluctua
tions of air pressure going on at the
time over the Caribbean Sea and its vi
cinity. The highest spring tides of the
year occur in March, shortly before the
Vernal equinox, ami in September,
shortly after the equinox. But, as has
been recently pointed out by Rev.
James Pearson, an English astronomer,
“it is only when a combination of
astronomical and atmospheric circum
stances favors their development that
their effects become remarkable.” Ob
servations at Brest have shown that
with a depression of one inch in the ba
rometer the tide rises sixteen inches
above high water mark, and similar
though less ditferences are noticed at
Liverpool and other ports. Low ba
rometer causes high tides, and, vice
versa, the abnormal rise of the barom
eter, as was strikingly illustrated last
January in New York Bay, gives rise
to unusually low tides. Instances also
are recorded in which high winds have
obliterated the tides, as during the Brit
ish hurricane of January 8, 1839, when
there was no tide at all on a part of the
river Trent. During the passage of
West India cyclones along our Atlantic
seaboard we may have at any time ex
traordinary tidal fluctuations, as have
often under such circumstances oc
curred, with disastrous effects. As the
periods when the highest and lowest
tides due to astronomic causes alone are
known, it would be easy to make fore
casts of the development of very extra
ordinary tidal ranges due to the con
currence of astronomical and weather
agencies, which would occasionally
give great additional value to the daily
weather reports.— N. P. Herald.
Moths.
The word moth was derived from two
Gothic words meaning to gnaw and to
eat. It was formally applied to moth
worms only, but is now also applied to
millers or “night butterflies.” When
we say moths we generally mean the
little wormlike caterpillars that eat
woolen goods. In May or June the
cloths moth miller (Tinea flavifrontella)
is of a light buff, brown-color, with a
silky luster and a long narrow body. It
flies around at night,and every one seen
should be killed if possible. When it
rests it does not fold its wings out
straight, but rather rolls them around
the body. The miller searches for a
good place where plenty of wool is
found and after depositing the eggs it
dies. The eggs hatch in about fifteen
days. The larva; begins to gnaw little
burrows through the substance in which
they are, covering themselves with its
small particles. In the fall they cease
eating, make a sort of little cocoon out
of their food, remain dormant all win
ter, and in the following spring change
into pupa; before emerging. The good
old plan of house-cleaning in early June,
sunning and beating all wool articles,
and the use of tobacco, camphor and
carbolic acid, are well-known to all
good housekeepers. Furs may be kept
from destruction by placing camphor in
the box and sealing them up by pasting
paper over the crack between the
cover and the box. Dealers pack furs
in common tar roofing paper. One
man recommends petroleum paper for
the same purpose.— Alice B. Walton, in
lowa Slate Register. .
West India Superstitions.
It is very unlucky to tell the name of
a boat before it is launched. I recol
lect once when a worthy old creole, a
connection of the French savant Geof
froi St. Hilaire, ami who, as I hope, still
owns a small island in the Grenadines,
was about to launch a sloop, I asked
what name he proposed to give it. He
led me to where I could see a strip of
canvass covering the stern, and told me
it was not good to tell the name before
the vessel was afloat. A calabash
turned upside down in a boat is a sure
forerunner of ill-luck, either in weather
or fishing. The oil obtained from a
shark’s liver rubbed oxer the-kin is a
protection against the atta 'k of a shark.
Fish brought into a place where arrow
root or other starch is being prepared
prevents a proper separation of the
starch sediment from the impurities
BU'pended in the water used. Io turn
your boots upside down brings loss of
money, and to open an umbrella in the
house prevents your ever marrying.
Never wash your hands in water which
another person has u ed unless you first
make the sign of the cross over it. When
a glass cracks suddenly in a house it
foretells a death and a horse stopping
before a house and neighing is also a
sign of death. If a cock crows in a
house a stranger may be expected. In
