SCANDAL.
nr MAUY C. JOIIKSOM,
A woman to tho lioly father went,
Confession ot her sin was licr intent (
And so licr misdemeanors, great nnd small,
She faithfully rehearsed them all;
And, chicfk-t in her calaloguo of sin,
Sho owned that she n talo-bearer had been,
And borne n. bit of scnndal up nnd down
To nil tho long.longiied gossips in the town,
1 ho holy falher for her other sin
Granted tho nb'olution asked of liim :
Hut whilo for nil tho rest ho pardon cave,
llo told her this olTenso was very grave,
And that lo du fit nenanco sho must go
j!ut by the wny-sidc where tho thistles grow,
And gather the largest, ripest one,
Scatter its seeds, nnd that when this was done,
Seo must como back ngain another day
lo toil him his commands sho did obey.
Tho woman, thinking this a penanic light.
Hastened to do his will that very night,
Feeling right glad sho had escaped so well.
Next day but one sho went the priest to tell j
Tho priest sat still nnd heard her story through
Then said, "There's something still for you
to do i
Thoso little thistle seeds which you bavo sown,
I bid you go rc-gnthcr, every one."
Tho woman said, "But, Fathcr,'twould bo vain
To try to gather up those seeds ngain j
The winds havo scatlcred them both far and
wido
Over the mendowed valo nnd mountain-sido.
The father answered, "Now I hope from this
Tho lesson I havn taught you will not mis j
You cannot gather back the scattered seeds,
Which far and wido will grow to noxious
weeds,
Nor tan the mischief once by scandal sown
By any penance be again undone."

"CONQUERED AT LAST."
A ratzE poem ox the ortATtTUDE oi' the
SOUTH FOR NORTltnitN IIELV.
Pomo timo since tho Mobile Aors odcred a
prize tor the poem which, by a Southern writer
should be judged most meritorious expressive
of the gratitude which existed in the Southern
heart towards tho people of the North for the
philanthropy nnd magnanimity so freely and
nobly displayed in the timo of the diro nfllic
tion of the South by pestilence. This ofter on
tho part of tho AVira called forth seventv-seven
competitive compositions from various parts of
tne country, l lie committee to whom tho
manuscripts were submitted decided in favor of
tne poem entitled "Lonqiieml nt Lost," by
Miss Maria L. Eve, of Augusta, Georgia,
which is here given :
You came to us once, 0 brothers, in wrath,
And rude desolation followed your path.
You conquered us then, but only in part,
! or a stuborn thing is tho human heart.
So tiie mad wind blows in Ids might and main,
And tho forests bend to his breath liko grain,
Their heads in tho dust nnd their branches
broke,
But now shall he soften their hearts of oak?
You swept o'er the land liko the whirlwind's
wing,
But tho human heart is a stubborn thing.
Wo laid down our arms, we yielded our will ;
But our heart of hearts was unconquered still.
"We nro vanquished I" wo said, "hut our
wounds must heal ;"
We gave you our swords, but our hearts were
steel.
"Wo are conquered," we said, but our hearts
were sore,
And "woo to tho conquered" on every door,
But tho spoiler came nnd bo would not spare,
Tho angel that walketh in darkness was there :
Ho walked thro' tho valley, walked thro' the
street.
And he left tho print of his fiery feet.
In the dead, dead, dead, that were everywhere,
And buried away with ncyer n prayer.
From tho desolate land, from its very heart;
There went forth a cry to tho uttermost part ;
You heard it, 0. brothers I With never n.
measure,
You opened your hearts and poured out your
treasure.
0 ! Sisters of Mercy, you gave nbovo these I
For you helped, wo know, on your bended
knees.
Your pity was human, but oh 1 it was more,
When you shared our cross and our burden
boro
Your lives in your hands, you stood by our
side .
Your lives for our lives, you laid dowu and
died.
And no greater love hath a man to give
I Than lay down his life that his friends may live
You poured in our wounds the oil and tho wine
That you brought to us from a Hand Divine.

An Awkward Blunder. In Paris a
youog lady went into one of tho great dra'
pery '.houses to shop with her maid. They
keep watchers there ; and one of these inak
Ing suro he bad seen something, presently
tapped the young lady on the shoulder and
asked her to follow him to the searching
room. 'You have just put a pair of new
gloves in your pocket, madamoiselle ; don't
deny it.' 'I know I have,' wild the young
lady quietly; 'anuif you will be good enough
to look inside them you will see that, ns they
were bought at another house,they could not
have been stolen from this,' The watcher
bad made a mistake ; and he and the whole
gang of marchers began togrovel inexcusts.
'Now.J said the lady, turning to her maid,
'goto the nearest commissary of police and
tell him that the daughter of Prince Orlofl"
requites his protection.' It was the awk
wardest of blunders ; her father was the
Russian ambassador. The contrite drapery
company offered thousands to husb it up.
Germany exported last year, In the elev
en months ending with November, over 11,
1 775,000 bushels of potatoes.
PUT YODRSELFIN HIS PLACE.
'Harry, my boy, what are you reading ?'
Harry Nelson colored n little as ho closed
his book.
'Only Robison Crusoe, pap a.'
'Only Robinson Crusoe ; I'm astonished
at you, Henry Nelsou, spending your timo
over such trash as that when tho book
shelves aro full of histories, philosophies,
and compendlums. Is that tho way, do you
suppose, lo become nn Intelligent aud well
read man ? Givo me tho book.'
Harry reluctantly delivered inlo his fath
er's hand's tho prelty morocco bound vol
ume, Mr. Nelson turned il over and over
again with n supercilious nlr.
'Where did you gettbl?'
'John Peaslce lent it to me, sir.'
'Ho lent It to you, did he ? And a pre
cious loan it is. Go right away nnd carry it
back to him.'
'Rut, sir '
'Not a word of remonstrance do ns I tell
you.'
'Papa, I haven't finished it.'
'All tho better for you you have already
wasted too much precious time over It. The
Idea of a boy like you, with his education
yet incomplete, sitting down to Robinson
Crusoe I'
Tho accent of sneering contempt with
which his father pronounced tho last two
words brought scarlet blood to Harry Nel
son's cheek, but he obeyed without a sylla
bio of remonstrance.
'There,' said the father, rubbing his hnndj
triumphantly, '1 think I've put nn end to
that Robison Crusoe nonsense.'
'Aro you suro you have done rightly, my
my dear? quietly asked Mrs. Nelson,
who had been silently nt work in tho bay
window which opened out of tho library.
'Rightly? Of course I have. Is the boy
to spend his whole timo In reading such ab
surd, improbable trash V
'Harry is a very good Btudent, and I do
not think the perusal of a few such books
would hurt him, merely by way of recreation.'
'Well, I do,' said Mr. Nelson, Irritably.
'I don't choose to allow it.'
Mrs, Nelson sighed softly, but offered no
further remonstrances ; in her secret heart
she was convincod that her husband was al
together too severe with their boy, but she
knew it would bo productive of little good
to express her opinion.
'Henry's grandfather will bo here to-mor
row,' she though!, 'and perhaps his advice
and counsel may havo a good effect.'
Mrs. Nelson looked forward with great
auxiety to this visit of her husband's father
she somehow felt that things were going
wrong in Harry's training and education,
and she trusted with a blind, womanly faith
that gome inffuenco would supervene to pro
tect her son from the hardening effect of
daily reproof and perpetual restraint.
'James entertains a deeper respect for his
father than for any other living soul,' she
thought as she arranged tho furniture in
the handsome suite of apartments destined
for bis use; 'if I can only win him over to
my way of thinking.'
'Judge Nelson arrived a spare, hale
looking little old gentleman, with hair
thickly strewn with gray, and blue eye as
keen and penetrating as that of a falcon,
nor did it take him very long to perceive
the exact stato of things In his son's house
hold.
And what no you think of our Harry,
sir ?' demanded tho younger Mr. Nelson,
rubbing his hands complacently, when the
boy had gone to his bed nt the close of the
first day's visit.
'He is a fine boy a very fine boy,' said
tho judge, briefly, and with that verdict the
father was more than content.
'Ho is a good, conscientious fellow, and is
unusually forward in his studies,' said Mr.
Nelson. 'I should liko you to look over
them to-morrow, sir.'
I will do so,' said the judge.
'And, for an ouly son, he really has very
few faults,' went on Mr. Nelson. 'Of course,
like other boys of his age, he has his fail.
iocs '
But tney can scarcely ue called tailings,
James,' meekly interposed Mrs. Nelson. 'I
think you are sometimes too severe with
him.'
The keen-eyed old gentleman glanced
from one to the other in silenco ; be perfect'
ly comprehended the situation of affairs.
Severe! Nonsense, Mary, you would
spoil the child if you had your own way,'
said Mr. Nelson a little impatiently.
The family were assembled round the
breakfast-table the next morning when Judge
Nelson camo down ; and Harry was, as

pay a little more attention to what I say to
you, you will be sent away from the ta

Harry bit his lip with intense mortifica
lion. Mrs, Nelson looked annoyed. The
judge drank his coffee in silence.
'Where are you going, Harry?' demanded
the father, as his son took his cap after break
fast.
'Just over to Tom Leslie's, sir, to arrange
about that boating match,'
'Put up your cap and remain at home, sir,
Havo you no lessons to look over before
school ?'
Yes, sir ; but I shall have plenty of time
for those after I come back ; it is not eight
o'clock yet,'
'Permit mo to be the judge of that,IIarry,'
Baid Mr, Nelson autocratically. 'I choose
that you shall remain at home nnd devote
yourself to your stud its, Idleness in a boy
of your ago is a fault too heinous to be tol
erated.'
'How old are you, Harry V Inquired his
grandfather, as the disappointed boy sat
dowu to his study-table.
'I am fuurteen, sir,'
'Fourteen ? you are nearly a man,' said
the old man, musingly,
'I wish he would conduct himself a little

The hour of school brought a blessed ro'
priove to poor Harry Nelson. He departed
with his book under his arm, feeling very
much liko a relieved convict. Three hours,
at least, before him, during which he would
be free from the perpetual fault-finding, re
proof and censure that made his home-life
a burden to him.
'Harry,' said his father, at dlnncr-tlmc,
"you nre eating too freely of those grapes

said Mrs. Nelson, timidly.
'I havo only eaten two bunches, papa,
pleaded Harry.

dered Mr. Nelson. 'Of all things I detest a
glutton.'
iVnd Harry obeyed, with a sorrowful look
at the blooming purple clusters.
In the evening Harry was slipping quiet
ly out of tho front door, wheiriils father
railed him back.
'Aro your lessons all prepared for to-mor

'Yes, sir.'
'Have you done that copying for me?'
'Yes, sir.'
'Well, bo suro you nro in tho house by
eight o'clock.'
'Cant I stay until nine, father? The other
boys all do.'
'I don't carB for the other .buys. Y'ou will
be home at eight o'clock precisely ?'
'James,' said Mrs. Nelson, when the dis
pirited boy was gone, '1 think you are a lit

'No, I am not,' said Mr. Nelson,' sharply;

Mr. Nelson was smoking his morning ci
gar tho next day, as the judge came down
stairs.
'James,' said the old gentleman, fretful
ly,' 'Is this the proper place for your feet
on the mantel ?'
Mr. Nelson smiled and took tbem down.
'Not exactly, sir, I must confess.'
'And I desire that you will throw that ci
gar away. It is an outrageous habit, and ono
which I will not for nn instant tolerate.'
Mr. Nelson looked surprised : but he
obeyed.
'And what is this youjro reading ? Onn of
liuKer's novels! Have you read the last
volume of Muddleliead'a sermons?'
'No, sir ; that is '
The old gentleman took the noxious vol
ume gingerly between bis thumb and finder
and tossed It out of the window. Mr. Nel
son colored ; but respect for his father was
too strong to allow him to remonstrate eitner
by word or deed.
At this moment Mrs. Nelson came into
aunounce breakfast.
'James, that omelette is too rich for you ;
I desire you will not eat it.'
But I have always been in the habit of
eating them, sir.'
'No matter ; you will not eat it to-day.
Harry looked on in open mouthed aston-
ishmeut. His father's face grew scarlet,
'And I wish James,' went on the judge,
'that you would not make quite such a noise
whilo you are eating. It is very ungentle
manly and it disturbs me.'
'I was not aware, sir, that '
'No ; because you've fallen into the habit
and no one has ventured to correct you,
Harry, ray boy, I'll take another muffin.
Breakfast was no sooner over than the
judge commenced a search for some missing
newspaper.
'You had it last, James. When will you
ever learn to put things back in their pla
ces? Now if you will go to work aud find
that newspaper for me, I shall be very much
obliged to you.'
Mr. Nelson glanced at his watch.
Wi'l not some other time do as well, sir?
I have an engagement at nine, and '
'No, sir ; some other time will not do as
well. I want my newspaper now ; and if
you miss your engagement it will be a good
lesson of order and method to you for the
future.'
'Just exactly what father says to me a doz
en times a uay, cnuckieu ilarry, lu the
back room, where he was assisting his moth
er to move some plants. 'Oh, mamma, isn't
it fun to see him caught iii his own trap ?'
The newspaper was at length.found, and
Mr. Nelson allowed to go to his office. But
when he came home to dinner his trials re
commenced. He was just going to his room,
after the mid day meal when the old gentle
man's voice recalled him.
James, where aro you going ?'
'To take a little nap sir.'
'A nap ! with ail those law papers unfiled
and Jennings case nCt read up 1 A nap?'
'It will refresh mo sa much I'
'James, your time would be much better
employed among your law books. Sit down
to them at once. A nap I Wby, sir, in
my younger days, we never so much as
thought of the thing.'
Thus was cut short in tho bud Mr. Nel
son's precious afternoon nap. lie began to
feel not a little annoyed.
He was taking his hat, after tea, when
once more the judge ciossed his path liko a
Vigilance Committee of One.
'You aro not going out to-night, my son V
'I must, sir, there is a political meeting at
Astor Place.'
By ton o'clock, sir, at the latest.'
Ten o'clock!' the judge shook his head
solemnly 'I must insist on your being home
by eight, James.
Eight, sir ? That will be quite impossible.'
'Then you must remain at home. I can't
have you loafing about the city after eight
o'clock at night.'
'I don't care a straw when your political
meetings break up.'
'Yes ; but father '

'You don't liko to bo treated like a child.

'No, sir; I must say that I do not !'
'Then how do you suppose your son Har

There was a moment's sileuce, and then
Judge Nelson laid his hand kindly on hi
sou's shoulder.
'My boy, he said, 'put yourself where

of treatment you imposo upon him, and con
sider well whether you are doing vyhely
James Nelson stood silent. Somethiu
liko a tear glittered in his eyo.
'Father,' he said, 'was this Intended for
lesson ?'
'Yes, my son, it was.'
'Then It shall not be thrown away, I see
my fault now and I will eudeavor to check
It.'
When Harry camo home from a neigh?
bor's houso that night there was no fretful
interrogatories, no capricious criticisms.
'Well, my boy, have you had a pleasant
evening 7' his father asked kindly.
'0 yes, sir. Charley Smith nas there wltn
his dissected maps, and sir, I put them all to

'That, was right my son. Charley Is a fine
fellow, nnd I like you to associate with him.
Suppose you Invito him here to-morrow

'O, papi, may I? It would bosonlcal'
Harry could hardly believe the testimony of
his own ears.
'.Mother,' ho said, as ho ho kissed her good
night, 'how nice It would bo if papa were al

'I think he will be In future, my son,' said
Mrs. Nelson, smiling. She was In tho old

Nor' was she mistaken. James Nelson's

ratlLS OF AdUICUIiTUliK IX TYIiOb.
The persistence) with which humanity at
taches itself to fertllo land without regard to
danger is illustrated elsewhere than here.
The peasants on the slopes of Vesuvius puh
their cultivation and plant their homes In
the very track of a posstble lava stream, and
all the world over, facility for obtaining a
livelihood blinds the cultivator to all risks.
Grohman says: 'In the Wild-Schotinu,
North Tyrol, not n few of tho houses are
built on such steep slopes that a heavy chain
has to be laid round the houses and fasten
ed to somo firm object a largo treo or bowl
der of rock higher up In one village of
the Puster Thai, and in two others of the
OberinnThal, manyoftbe villagers come
to church with crampoons on their feet, the
terrible steep slopes on which their huts are
built somewhat like a swallow's nest onn
wall, requiring this precautionary measuro
In Moss a village not very far from tho
Brenner, having a population of eight hun
dred inhabitants more than three hundred
men nnd women have been killed since 175S
by falls from tho incredibly steep slopes up
on which the pasturages of this village aro
situated. So steep are they, in 'fact, that
only goats, and even they not everywhere,
cin be trusted to graze on them, and tho
hay for the larger cattle has to be cut nud
gathered by the hand of man.'
I have myself seen, in walking among the
hills, little stores of grass piled against the
upper sido of.protecting trees, where it had
been brought in armfuls when cut by the
spiked-shod mower. The haymakers gather
their llltlo crop here nnd there on tho steep
grass patches, almost at the limit of vegeta
tion, pack it in nets or in sheets, and bring
it on their shoulders down tho steep nnd
dangerous paths. My earlier idea of an 'nip'
was that of n level plateau at the top of the
lower mountains. Alps which arecveu near
ly level are very rare, especially am"tig tho
higher elevations. Generally they ro
steep, so broken, and so inaccessible thatone
wonders how cattle are got to them, aud
how they can be trusted to graze over them.
These alps are bounded by no fences, and
it must be an anxious task for those who
havo tho herds in charge to get tbem to
gether at milking time. Each animal wears
its bell not tho hollow sounding dull cow
bell with which wo are familiar, but musical
in tone, and heard for a much greater d!s
tance. The alpine hut, and the Senneriu.or
dairy maid, who spends the whole summer
in nearly solitary attention to her arduous
duties, aro not altogether what one's imagi
nation might depict. She is not the dairy
maid of poetry, nor is her temporary home
filled with the moro ethereal pastoral associ
ations. Yet these people,too, have a roman
tic and imaginative side to their lives, and
are happy and wholesome and content.
The ugricullure of North Tyrol,outsido of
the valley of Inn, is mostly confined to very
small operations. A few cattle, a few sheen,
a llltlo poultry, a lew small lielus, and a
mountain pasture constitute tho stock In
trade on which t lie industrious nnd frugal
pair bringup their family incomfort andde'
cency, accumulate portions for their daught
ers, aud lay aside a provision for their own
eld age. Labor-saving hardly exists. Ev
erything is accomplished by unmitigated
and uuremitted toil. In youth and iu early
fe the people are stalwart, active and hear
ly ; but old age comes very early, and at
forty the vigor of manhood aud womanhood
is passed the activity and vigor, but not the
endurance : up to really old ago even slight
little women carry enormous loads in the
baskets at their backs up and down steep
rough hill sides and mountain paths, where
an unaccustomed tourist must puff nnd toil
to move his own unencumbered person.

How Franklin was Ccrkd, Somebody
has brought out the following interesting
reminiscence ! When Benjamin Franklin
was.n lad lie began to study philosophy, and
soon became fond of applying technical
names to common objects. One evening he
mentioned to his father that ho had 'swal
owed some acephalous mollusks,' and tho
old man was much alarmed, and, suddenly
seizing him called loudly for help. Mrs.
Franklin camo with warm water, and tho
hired man rushed in with a garden pump.
They forced half a gallon of the water down
Benjamin's throat, then held him by the
heels over tho edge of tho porch nnd shook
him while the old mau said : 'If wo don't
get them things out of Benny ho will be pi
zoned sure !' When they were out, and
Benjamin explained that the things referred
to were oysters, his father fondled him an
hour with a trunk strap for scaring the fam

was mnrvelously simple and explicit,
Au enthusiastic breeder of poultry says :
"farmers will feed a bushel of corn lo pro
duce six pounds of pork, while tho same
amount of corn will keep a good laying hen
one year,and she will produce at least twelve
dozen eggs.averaglng eighteen cents per doz

be would rear it brood of chickens worth as
much more, making a total of nearly fivo
dollars, against six pounds of pork at ten
ceuts, equalling Jsixty cents ; or, In other
words, the Jben will yield beveu times as
much as the pig on the samo quantity of

How Monkeys are Captured.
Monkeys are pretty common, jetas all the
families are remarkably cunning, has It ever
occurred to the reader how they are takeu ?
Pitfalls will take a lion, and the famished
monarch will, after a few days starvation,
dart into a csgo containing food, and ihui
bo secured. Rut how are monkeys caught ?
The ape family resembles man. Their vi
ces are human, They love liquor and fall.
In Darfour and Senar the natives make a
fermented beer, of which the monkeys are
passionately fond. Aware of this the na
tives go to the parts of the forest frequented
by the monkeys, and set on the ground cal
abashes lull of the enticing liquor. As soon
as the monkey sees and tastes It, he utters
loud crys of joy that soon attracts his com
rades. Then an orgle begins, and In a short
lime they show all degrees of Intoxication,
Then the negroes appear. The few who came
too late ;to be fuddled escape. The drink
ers are too far gone to distrust them, but ap
parently take them for larger species of their
own genus. Tho negroes take some up and
these begin to weep nnd cover them with
maudlin kisses. When a negro takes one
by the hand to lend him off, the nearest
monkey will cling to the one who thus finds
a support and endeavor to go on also. An
other will grap at him, aud so on until the
negro leads a staggering line often or a
dozen tipsy monkeys. When finally brought
Into tho village they nre securely caged up
and gradually sobered down; but for two or
three days a gradual diminishing supply of
liquor is given them, so as to reconcile them
by degrees to their state of captivity.
Sl'ONUES.
While handling a sponge in Its prepared
state, as we see it in the shops, it Is difficult
to believe that it belongs to tho animal
kingdom, Sponge, however, Is not the ani
mal itself, but only tho skeleton or frame
work, as it were. That which constitutes
the living portion of the animal is removed
in preparing the sponge for market. The an
imal proper covers the frame work and is of
a jelly like appearance, like that of other
low forms of animal life. Various openings
and channels allow the passage of water
through all part of the mass, and the gela
tinous portion has microscopic balrs, which
aro capable of rapid motion, and by their
nicaus water Is forced into and out of tho
sponge. When divided me living flponge
seems to suffer no incouvenience, but eaca
part sets up on its own accouut, lives on as
if nothing had happened and it becomes two
sponges.
The best sponge of commerce is found in
the Mediterranean, and is known as Turkey
or Smyrna sponge ; this is obtained by div
ers. Bahama or West India sponge is coars
er, and Is sold at a much less price. Much
sponge is gathered off the coast of southern
Florida. Indeed the Florida sponge fisher
ies furnish employment to many men and
boats.
The spongeis gathered by means ofa large
pole, with two and sometimes three hooks
upon the end. This is thrust down into the
sponge, which can easily bo seen in clear
water at tho depth of thirty feet. As the
fishermau must see the sponge, he can suc
cessfully work only in clear aud smooth
water. They obviate tho roughness by
throwing upon the surface oil made from the
sharks that abound in these waters, or by a
pane of glass set into a box or bucket. This
they place on the surface and use as a spy
glass. The large schooners come to anchor,
and send out.small boats to fish ; but when
tho wind is not too strong, tho smaller craft
sail boat with a man on the forepart, on the
lookout for the sponge ; they also have their
small boats. The sponge, after it is gather
ed, Is allowed to remain in the sun for two
or three days to die. The gelatinous mat
ter that is iu them decays, and they are then
washed, bleached aud baled for tho market.
THE NEW BANKRUPT LAW.
The new bankrupt act has been prepared
carefully, add is ready for presentation to
the state senate. Several prominent mem
bers of the Philadelphia bar have been con
sulted in regard to the bill, which is briefly
as follows :
Au act relating to failing traders and oth
er Insolvents, anu tne aumlulstration oi
their estates.
Provides that any citizen oi this state may
make a cession of his property,provided that
thesurrender bo without fraud and conforms
with this net, viz :

briefly stating the circumstances and ask for
a meeting of creditors, and in the meantime
proceedings against him shall be stayed.
A schedule of his creditors shall be pre
sented, and statement of valuo of all his
property assigned.
A debtor is uot obliged to surrender any
property not subject to be seized and sold In

The schedule shall be signed and sworn to
by tbo debtor.
After the debtor has complied with the
formalities, the judge shall endorse the sched
ule and shall order a meeting of creditors to
be called.
The judge shall oider that all proceedings
against the person and property of tho debt

The court shall appoint a trustee who shall
administer and sell all the property accord-
lug to law. On application of three of the
creditors, an additional trustee shall be ap
pointed, both to givo bonds.
All property shall be delivered to the
trustees.
A debtor shall be declared guilty of frsud
who shall keep back any of his property.
Tho trustees shall divide the proceeds
among all tho creditors, following the order
of priority iu cases of liens or judgment, or
proportionately If there aro any oilier cred!
tors.
Any debtor who may be Imprisoned under
a writ of arrest, and against whom no charge
of fraud Upending, may be discharged from
arrest by making a surrender of his proper

Following tho above are a large number of
sections relating to involuntary assignment,
one of which provides that in citits of the
first class a separate court shall bo held con.
tluuoiuly lor the transaction of builuess un
der this act.
