A U(al ditty to be suae witaoat ebortu to Uta

John Smith, a young attorney, Inat a4mltte3 to
the bar,
Waa eolentn and aaf actoua aa youna- aMoraara
are :
And a frown of deep aba traction held the aetata
of Hit face
The result of contemplation of the rule la Shel
ley 'a caae.
One day in term-time Mr. Smith waa aetatae in
the court.
When me good man and true of the body of
the rmmly did on their oath report.
That herctolorc, to wit : upon the aecond day of
Mav,
A. D. lSTt. atioat the honr of noon. In the county
and atate alureaaid, one Joaeph Srroy-.,
late of .aid ronnte. did thee aod there
felonioualy take. tral, and carrv away
One bay horse, of tn value oi nfly dollar, more
or le
(The aamc then and there bcint; of the pronertr,
a;o-l, and rh.itu-la of one UcxckiAh tins') ;
Contrary to the statute in auch caVe expressly
made
And provided; and against the peace and dig
nity ol the atate wherein the venue had
been laid.
The prisoner. Joseph Scroif gm, was then arraign
ed uiwn this rliarge
And pleaded not gmltr, and of this ha threw
himself up.ni the country at large t
And said Joseph iiemg pour, the court did gra
ciously ap)Mint
Hi. Smith to uelrnd him much on the same
iinnriple tt.xl olitains in every charity
hospital, wli.-re a Jouu medial student
Is often set t rectify a serious injury to an
organ or a joint.
The witness aeemeil prejudiced against poor Mr.
.Scruggs
And tbe district attorney made a thrilling
speech, in whi, h he told the jury that if
tliey didn't liud for the Mate he reckoned
hi'd have to "walk their logs".
Then Mr. Smith arose and made hi upeech for
the delense.
Where in he quoted Shakesieare. Rlarkstone.
;hitty, Arrh'iold, .loa pnn Miller, Storv.
Kent, Tiipiier. Mnedcs mud Marshall and
rnnny other writers, and everybody aaid
they "never heard of auch a bust of elo
quence." And he said : nn this nrpothcala, my client
must go free;"
And: -Again on this hypothesis, iff morally
impuille that be aaould oo guilty don't
you ee f
And: -Then, on this hypothesis, yoa realty
can't convict;"
And ao on, with fortr-aix more hvpothesla, npon
none of which, Mr. Saaitb ably demou
nt rated, could Scrojrg. be derelict.
But the jure, never stirring front the box
wbert'iu they sat,
Rcturued a Vrr-lii i ol" "Guilty ;" and bis Honor
tratht way entenied rogga to a three
year term in the M-mtentiary, and a heavy
fine Hud Uie crs.l on top ot that ;
And the primmer, in wild delight, got up and
danre.1 :tud snnar;
And when ther .-t-kfd him the reasm of this
strange lieharior, he said: -It's because I
got off soeasv for it there'd ha' otpm a
few more of llim darnel hyptitheaises, 1
thould certainly have been huug.

Monty KwYett by at "ly.
Here is & ptory from the Companion,
showing how a blue-bottle fly was the
iut'.ina of savins; much work and expense:
"Flics are most useful sea verniers, for
they destroy much matter which is in
jurious to man. They lay their egjjs in
tltt-ayiii-' animal 'suliMtanees, and these
hatch out in a very nhort time The
young then bc:in to eat as soon as they
are hatch-si, and wxm eat up the decayed
matter. It is said that the progeny of
two lilue-lx.ttle tlies will eat up a dead
hors" more rjuickly titan one lion, could
perform the task.
Flies have a wonderful scent. If a
piece of det-ayevl meat in placed in an
oK-n pla- where there are no Hies, it will
not be long befon a troop of Hies will be
ftawlinj; over it. An ingenious man
once made a fly serve him. A poinoned
rat liul crawled under the floor of a
p ntlcman's dininjr-rootn, and died there.
The riom, which had been fitted up at
i;reat expense, bci-ame uninhabitable,
and wnrkmen were called in to remove
the !li-oriiii;. Kut one of them sunsted
that if a blue-bottle fly should 1 turned
into th room, it would rind the exact
t w here the dead rat was lyinr. The
lly, bin caulit and turnif in, hnzzed
ninnit the ronn for sometime. At last
it al.htevl u-oii a certain i-pot on the
lliir, and remained there.
'There's where your dead rat is I" lLi
the. workman said. A hinlu board was
r in veil, and the rat was exposed to
view. The lly had scented the body
thruuirh the crack in the floor.
Kacl y wftlse twaa.
On the banks of the river Idle, lietween
Pawtry and Mi-m, a swan had built her
nest in a hedo previous to the rect ut
aerious AiumIs, in May, and w;is sitiiiit;on
her ecjH. When the water reced--d a
curious sih? was presented, the ne.-t hav
ing been raised by the male and female
to the height of about three feet, to d
which they had to collect more than a
larce cart load of sticks, reeds, leaves,
etc. I'pon this elevate.1 nest the swan

THE TRICKS OF MISERS.
About forty years ago the custom ot
concealing money in an out-of-the-way
place, unknown to all but its possessor,
was preatly practiced. This was occa
sioned at that time by the very uncertain
condition of the saving banks. Although
the danger of failing banks is to a large
extent, a thin;; of the past, the practice of
hiding money prevails. Often if the
owner of the hidden treasure nhould die
without revealing the whereabouts of his
money, it would be likely to occasion
great anxiety and consternation Among
expectant relatives.
In the northeastern part of Y. city a
cave of this nature occurred not many
years ago. An old man who lived in a
verv frugal manner, bnt who was reputed
to be the posse asor of a large amount of
money, wu run over at a railroad cross
ing and killed inatantly. He hail suveral
relatives, who, although they were some
what dillident about ark no whs Igin,; the
tie previous to the old man's death, were
very eager to piDclai m it a.s soon as they
heard he had left behind him a consider
able store of gold. The hou in which
the old man had lived was a laru, shaky
old structure, full of nooks and crevices,
which would seem to be the very place
that a miser would select as a hoarding
place for his money. The house was ran
sacked from cellar to garret, every crack
and crevice was explored, and the furni
ture was taken to pieces, but all in vain,
for at the end of two weeks' vigilant
search, they were no nearer 6he object of
their search than when they began. A
consultation was held, ana after noma
discussion it was decided to continue the
work by proxy, and a well known private)
detective was engaged.
This !erson looked over the premises,
and found everything that would le like
ly to contain the money turned inside out,
so thoroughly had the anxious relatives
done their work. Now the question for
the detective to decide was whether the
deceased would have been likely to bury
his wealth. It was necessary to ascertain
the habits of the wld man, and to find in
what part of the grounds he wait most in
the habit of walking, for it is an estab
lished fact that a person who has every
thought concentrated npon A certain
place will no very likely Vo visit it as
often as possible.
The deceased had kept one servant, a
very deaf old woman, who had been with
him for a number of years and sho was
questioned about the habits of her late
master. She said he rarely left the house,
but would ait alt day loii' iu ins library.
This iiiset the theory of the money leing
buried, and the detective returned to
take a freidi inventory of the library.
The relatives had gi-u their attention
to this room at an early wise of the
search. The Uxik-c.tses had lern moved
out from the wall, every voluiu- had Im-cii
0--iied and every drawer itispcrle-l, so
tliat no fresh place of omcv.ilmeut nug-g-st-d
its-!f.
Pondering upon the mysterious matter
he fixed hia eyes alwtrtete-lly tiinii the
Ce,!ni where he saw uietlniig that
made Ills heart thump. The --eiling w:is
of the usual hciiit, but was m.i lc of
wul, put in ! nig -t rips aiaout t-ijht inch.
wide. It evidently had red '-n se;.
o.T fir years, and a laver of riiay d.rt
cluntotlie Usar Is. What altr . .d the
det-s live a attention was a n near the
centre of the ceiling, on win. h tlie dust
did ni-t apt-ear to be as thi k as on the
rest of the l-nard. The d.If.-ren e in the
color of this spot was jx sligit t'lat only
an experveured eye could Lave detected
it, and on petting nnder this particular
pot the detective noticed marks in the
a 'ist aa though ioaJ by the tip of husuan
Lasers.
There was a solid old table in one cor
ner of the room, which, though used
pretty roughly in the general ransacking,
was still a Me to l-r the ..ITicer's wei-ht.
Drawing this to the middle of the num.
he found a -slight al-raaion of the veneer
ing near the centre of the table, like the
marks that would be left by the feet of a
chair. This additional proof was -trrnth-er-Kl

General Grant was particularly proud
of his stud of horses. His war charger
was an especial favorite. He took great
delight in exhibiting his horses to his
friends with whom he was intimate.
Once at his stables with a friend he sahl,"
"Perhaps you would like to see the horse
I rode during all the campaigns I com
manded ?" The animal was ordered to
be brought out- The gentleman was sur
prized to find the horse no larger than a
lady's palfrey small, slender, agile
limbed, black as a coal, intelligent, mild,
an eye like a hawk, and a lick on the
mane for all the world like a boy's cow
lick. It was such an animal as women
and children would make into a lamily
pet.
The gentleman pronounced the animal
a beauty, but ex pressed a doubt as to its
endurance. "Endurance !" said the
general ; -this animal exceeds in endur
ance any horseflesh I ever saw. I have
taken him out at daylight and kept in the
saddle till dark, and be came in aa fresh
when I dismounted as when I started in
the morning. There isn't enough gold in
America to ony him. He is an imported
horse of tine breed, and was once on Jeff
Davis' plantation.' This was jnst before
Davis was caught, and the visitor aaid,
"I presume yon would exchange the
horse for Jeff Ja vis?" "You have said
itt" exclaimed Grant ; "I would exchange
him for his master, but lor nothing else
in the world."

"Animals have much more capacity to

talk to their elephants and it is amazing
how much the latter comprehend. The

addrettsed a remark to the big dromcdarv
who was my prorty for two months yet
at tlie end of that time the bea.st evident
ly knew the meaning of a number of
simple sentencev. Some years ago. seeing,
the hipx-jH(tamus in I'm mum's Museum
looking very stolid and dejected, I spoke
to him in English, but he did not even
open his eyes. Then I went to the opjo
ite corner of the cage, and said in Arabic,
'I know yon; come here tome He iu
siautly turned his heal towards me ; I
rejH-uled the. words, and thereupon he
came to the corner when I was standing,
prefwed hi hup, ungainly head against
the bars of the care, and looked into mr
face, uitha touch of delight while I
stroked his muzzle. I have two or three
times found a lion who recognized th

A GORGEOUS PALACE.
IVesvrrlptlwas ef tbe Cbanalaiaj Wimmg

The Summer ralace of the King, the
Mango Gardens is considered the hand
somest place in Siain. The main build
ing is erected in the style of a French
chateau, and is surrounded with grounds
laid off with great skill bv a landscape
gardener, pat I is winding fn serpentine
siuiVMity in every direction, flowers of all
kinds fill the air with perfume, and to add
to the charms of the place miniature
lakes dotted over with lotus plants in
blossom, flash their sparkling waters in
tlm sunshine.
These lakes are fed from the river that
flows in front of the palace, which to
gether with the yard is enclosed by a wall
containing a number of handsome build
ings set apart for the various wives of the
King. Through the kindness of the gar
dener in charge I was shown through the
palace, the King being absent he not
staying there more than a mouth during
the vear.
Tlie palace is built of teak and other
costlv woods? the walls paneled most
handsomely; the hard wood polished
like a mirror, bringing out the grain;
tbe ceiling lofty, laidoffin handsotu de
signs aud most elaborately gilded ; the
floors a mosaic of various woods also
highly polished, each room a different
design, while the broad flight of stejs
that lead to the second story the sleep
ing apartments is simply grand, in
keeping with the magnificence of the in
terior. The King's chamber, bath-rooms etc.,
were worthy of the abode of royalty, and
his couch 'a thing of beauty,' if not a joy
forever.' It was made of rare wood and
carved in the most exquiaite designs
draped with rare lace fringed with gold;
a gold embroidered spread covered the
bed; the pillows and bolsters were also
hemmed with lace, and above it swung a
handsome punka to keep him cool. It
seemed more like a work of art to please
the eye than the resting place of one who
courted slumlier, surcease of business
and trouble arizing from the control of
over 7,sKMI,tS SJ people.
In some of the rooms we noticed some
very haalome furniture and pictures
costly tables, crystal and alabaster vases
etc.. though the place was dismantled
luriug the absence of royalty. It is a
place that one tired of power and the
world would retire to for a month and
live in elysium or Oriental cast. In the
center of several of the lakes handsome
pavilions are erected, where the baud
discourses music, and on their rippling
snrfaee float barg-s readv to U-ar the
wives aud children or family of tlie King,
when he concludes to pass his time
there.
S-attered throughout the pardons are
cag.-s containing monkeys birds etc.,
that add not a little to the pictiir.-s.jue-nes
of the ene. For over an hour our
party stinlied tbnmii the well-kept
trr.i'inds au I gardens lifty men leing

Tbe Alps.
One ran not command any language to
convey an adequate idea of this magnifi
cence. You are standing far In-low, gaz
ing up to where the great ili.se of the glit
terin Alps cute the heavens, and drink
ing in the inlluenee of tin; silent scene
around. Suddenly an enormous mass of
snow and ice, in itself a mountain, seems
to move; it breaks from the toppling out
most mountain ridge ol snow, where it is
hundreds of feet in depth, and in its first
fall, of perhaps 2IKI0 feet, is broken into
millions of fragments. As yon first see
the flash of distant artillery by night, then
hear the mar, so here you may see the
white flashing mass majestically trowing,
and hear the astounding din.- A cloud of
dusty, misty, dry snow rises into the air
from tlie concussion, forming a white
volume of fleecy smoke, or mist 'igltt,
from the ixisum of which tlntiidens- Aiilh
the ice torrent iu its second prestigious
fall over the rocky battlements The eye
follows it delighted, as it ploughs through
the path which preceding avalanches
hav worn, till it conies to the brink uf a
vast ridge of bare r k, perhaps more
than 2iml feet perpendicular. Then fl ws
the whole cataract over the gulf witii a
still louder roar of echoing thuii ier.
Another fall of still greater depth ens.ies,
over a second similar castellated ridge or
reef in the face of the mountain, with an
awful majestic slowness, and a tremen
dous crash in its concussion, awakening
again the reverber.it ing peals ot thunder,
Then the torrent roars on toaitother simi
lar fall, till at l.n-th it rcachi-s. a mighty
groove of sni.w and ice, like the slide
down the Pilatus. of which Plavfair has
given so M(vrrtu:lv and graphic descrip
tion. Here its progress is slower, and
l.i.-.t of all you listen to the lour of the fal
ling fragments as they drop out of sight,
with dead wi ight, into the bottom of tbe
gulf, to rest there for ever.

For men's outing dress, Knicker
bocker troincrs are rapidly growing in

signs are this season a more important
part of manufacturers' stocks than hither
to. French skirtings in linen and percale
are less startling than last season, and tho
tendency is toward quiet and genteel ef
fects. This does not apply to figures,
which are mure strongly colored than
ever.
Tlie "white toilets" imported from
abroad are no longer dead white, but are

Vae ot tbe I'eut,
For some years many of the prominent
Southern cities have been trying to bring
cents into circulation, and ."tesjn-rate in
deed have been the effort to aii-oiuplish
this. Several houses have declared in
favor of cents to find their introduction
far more difficult than was imagined.
One publisher iinj.oite.1 barrels of the
coins and put them forth, only to find
out that thev returned in a very short
time. The idea of carrying the uieasiire
through by one grand movement, all act
ing together, failed. The jn-ople were
not acquainted with cents and refused
them ; and many dealers, particularly
the small ones with whom cents woul'd
have come into pJay and who would Ik
most benefited by their circulation, iir-I.l
back. But although these spasm., lie ef
forts failed, the end sought for is being
slowly but surely accomplished. The
cent, which could not be I'oic. d suddenly
on Ihe community, is growing into favor.
A large number of houses nre now wil
ling to a pt it and make their change
accordingly, and the piihiit- i In-ginning
to recognize that the cent is of some value
alter all. Strange to say, as .11 tic- !
ginuingof this movement, the small deal
ers still holdback. Coppers will li.-l ik.-n
in pavinc.it by almost any I :t:g d' . -.m1s
house, hut the candy or' banana pe i li. r
on the corner opposite is very much
afraid ol the copper cuir. ncy. There
need Ik-no fear, however, that the cent
will not su.-eed. The new eoin hxs been
introduced. It is no longer a noveltv or
a surprise. Those who thought they
could suddenly spring it mum the com
munity did not recognize the conserva
tive nature of the pis. pie; did not appre
ciate the fact that even so small revolu
tions as this can only be accomplished
with time and patience.
" Contract a.
A merchant wanted a milliner. Miss
Maclay was open to an engagement of this
kind. The merchant hearing of her, dis
patched a letter offering the situation, and
asking for her answer bv return mail.
Directly she had read the letter, she
w rote her acceptance ou a postal card.
But instead of mailing this herself, t.he
gave it to a small boy to mail for her,
which small Imy carried it in his pocket,
with his egtop sand mai bles,for four days
liefore he twisted it. Meanwhile the
meivhan tmade other arrangements and
when .Miss Mat-lay reached his store
according to the t.-rms .f the card which
had lingered iu the pocket of the Miiali
Iniy, she was uotilied h r sciin-s were
not required. The Sujuvine Couit of
Illinois held that she could not obtain
auy damages for the breach of a contract
without proving a colli :;ict to commeno
with. She had proved a proposal which
required thnt .she should assent by return
mail, aud as she had not assented by re
turn mail (the small boy being her agent
in tlie matter), but by" a mud four days
later, she had failed to show acceptance
of the merchant's offer. And judgment
was given against the milliner.

A young lady who was much worried
