A Chicago despatch says : One o: the most daring robberies ever perpelratec in this city took place early yesterday afternoon at No. 60 Eldnd^e court, tbe residence of Thomas Smith, bead draught*- man at the Dearborn foundry. Mr. Smith ItBsiiiiii a liberal salary, and, while renting a box in tbe vaults ot the Union Safety and Deposit Company, it has beeu bis habit for some time to trust eouaiderable porliou cf bis earnings with bis wife. Mrs. Smith is a stout laJy , about 26 years old. Wben her husband went to bii Uaoe ot buBiuebs attar dinner yester- day she was left alone in their rooms, which include all tbe apartmentx ou the first flocr. A ring at tbe bell oailed Mro. Smith to tbe trout door. Two meu dressed as mechanic* were standing there. They introduced themselves as plumbers sent by tbe landlord. Mrs. btuith, unsuspicious led the way to tbe kitchen, wben the auda- eioiu crime tx>k place. Tbe details of tbe robbery, as given by Mrs. Smith, form a thrilling narrative. The lady this morning, with ber brown bait neatly lied up in a roll, and wearing a baudboue wrapper, leaned back iu one of ber own easy chairs and told the re- porter her utory. Her bead was bandaged wbere one ot tut) robbers bad btrnok Ler, and she seemed lobe sufleriug pain. " II frightens mealmobt to death," began Mn>. Stuitb, " every time 1 tbii k ol tbe occurrence. Just kfter my husband bad lunched aud left tbe house two mu, who by their dress appeared to be plumber*, called and said that tbe agent for tbe New- berry estate bad sent them to repair tbe water pipes. As tbe pipes bad needed repairiag for some time I surpected nothing and led tbe way into the kitcheu. Wben I stooped down to open tbe door under the link cue ot the men, who could not bave beeu more than 18 years old, truck me a heavy blow bthind tbe left ear. OBil 1 LI.V J WITH BIB FOB. " I turned and grappled with him and iu the struggle pulled off his ring. Then tbo large fellow, who was about M years old and powerfully built, grabced me by the throat and, tearing open tUe bosom of my dress, took out my pooketbook, containing exactly 91,030. lie drew a revolver and knife and said : ' II you scream I'll kill yon.' Ha then threw me down on the floor and, placing hi* knees on my clr.at, placed a towel over my month and tied my band* and feet .with clothe* lines. They then dragged me by my hair to the back parlor and tied me to the bid. " Suddenly tbe doorbell rang, and one of tbe lellowi coolly answered ths summons. Mr. Timothy and wife, iriend* ot ours, as I have rinoe learned, had stopped to make a friendly call. While one of tbe robbers held me on tbe flxir, with his bauds premed over my mouth to prevent me uttering a lound, ths other informed tbe callers thai I was ill and unable to see any viaitoii.

" ' Cut ber throat ; that's tbe thiag to do,' said tbe other. Then she'll never queal.' i 1 1 don't want to kill a woman in cold blood,' rejoiced the first tpeaker. 11 ' You needn't do it in cold blood,' aniwered tbe other. ' Just eet fire to tbe house, and let ber burn up.' " The man who ipoke last seized a kero- sene can, as if to execute his terrible threat. Tbe cau, however, proved to be empty, and be oast it from him with an oath. Then the mi oiler man said : " ' I'm in (avor o( placing ber in tb* bath tub aud drowning her.' " I begged bard for my life and they finally oonalnded to let me live. ITTXB Till liOHBEBS Lin. " The large man left the house first and the young fellow remained a while to watch. About half an hour after the ruliiaua bad departed 1 succeeded iu unty- ing the cords that bound my bands. After releasing my feet from tbe bedposts I dragged mytelf to tbe fronl door and called to a milkman woo was paaaing at tbe time. Hi cut the cords from my limb*, and I do believe they used two rolls ot olothea line to bind me." Mrs. Smith's husband waa seeu at the Dearborn foundry. " I suf pecs tbe parties who put up tbe job," he said, " but I don't want to do anyone an injustice and will not Bay anything about it now. TLS detectives are working quietly on the oase, and in two or three days will probably gather enough videnoe to warrant an arrest, but I cannot understand how tbe robber* aaoertiined that tbe money was secreted in my wife's bosom." Tbe police were promptly notified ot tbe robbery, but up to this evening they have obtained no clue that would lead to tbe detection of the perpetrators. i u i> -in i - ii i \>i> -rim .

The proposal to abolish Dublin Cattle serves very well as a popular cry, but with- out interpretation it is vague and almost unmeaning. To the National party it means nothing IBM tbau Grattan'i Parlia- ment and virtual, if cot actual, independ- ence. To an Englishman, however, whether Tory or Radical, it probably means nothing more than a radical change in tbe system o looal government. This change would pro bubly be embodied in two nubutantivi) mea aureo the abolition of tbe Lord-Lienten aney and a large decentralization ot the looal executive. We have no objection in principle to either of theae measures, bn 1 we do protest against the denunciation 01 Dublin Caitle as a neat of sinecnriets am a stronghold of aliens.

Mason of Marseilles, has sent to tLe Departmeui of State the following concerning Asiatic obolera, derived from studies of the epidemic of 1884 and preceding years iu Marseilles. In presence ot epidemic cholera the question of unbfciateuae betomei one of vital importance. No amount ol cleansing and dosing with medicine oan eradicate tbe cholera from the community which is badly fed. Mr. Masen says : It waa found ueceseary at Harbeillea to prohibit the entry and sal* of melons cucumbers and of summer fruita, and to open in various places in tbe oily soap kitchens where the poor could be supplied with properly cooked food. Tbe code ol instructions issued by tbe health anthori ties (or tbe guidance of all olaetes embodied the following : Avoid all excess, whether of eating or drinking ; drink a* little an possible of anything between meals avoid tbe nee of raw fruits and vegetables driuk mineral or boiled water mixed with a small proportion of wine ; avoid exposure to tbe chill air of morning or evening ; wear a wide belt or girdle of flannel ; beef anc mutton are tbe best meats in time ol cholera, aud fresh fiib should be need with extreme caution ; all stale fruiu and vege table* should be rigidly prohibited. Any Hodden change ot temperature, paitieularl] the cooling of the body alter violent exer else or exposure to heat, should be carefully avoided ; accordingly woollen clothing (or every part of tbe body is preferable to cot ton or linen. While the strident peraoiia cleanliuea* is essential, it in not coutiidered advi-ablo for any except perilous in ful phykioal vigor and accustomed to reguUr cold bathx to continue them iu presence o! obolera. Daily tepid baths, taken with careful reference to hours of nasals, are adviied. Such baths should always be followed by vigorous rubbing of the akin aud the tuual mcaBures tu restore vigorous and hetilttiy circulation. Mr. Mason says that tbe actual dangere ot a cholera epidemic are enormously increased and complicated by the terror and demoralization which the presence of tbe drradtd malady mrariably inspires, " Simple fear, of oonraa, does nut produce cholera," be adds, " bat il often oheck and deranges tbe vittl function* to a degree wbiob may weaken the patient ai.d greatly increase his susceptibility to choleric iLfluenoes. Beyond question, U u bett (or those who feel this terror, and for all other! who can conveniently do no, to leave a ouy infected with ohulera as quickly a* Hxible after the epidemic is decKrvd, aud co oi:e should return to an infected city ULlcssin a condition of good health, particu larly in respect to all the f uuotious of nuiri ticn."

Bui indeed they do not need to look no far from borne. Tbe founders cf one of the greatest wholesale houses iu Montreal practiced for years the closest economy, ouoked their own f jod and did up their own rooms an young men.

And it helped to make them the successful men they were. To be prudent and saving does not mean to be niggardly. In the words ol an old writer, " He that will burn his taper while the sun shines aud ho that will go to bed in tbe dark to save the expeute of light, both are equally abeurd."

But, leaving joking apart, it is not generally known* iu (act, popular pro- udlce ratber points tbe other way that the last carriage iu a railway train is tbe safest. There Is no doubt that, it you are in tbe last carriage of a train, and espe- cially at its rear, and another train runs nto yours, yon will probably not snrvivs to tell tbe tale of bow the accident hap- rue J. But in all other accidents you can conjure np as liable to coour, it is tbe safest. If tboro is a head oollinion, there nothing back of you to add force to tbe ilow.
