Charles Lamb gives a funny account or
the origin or roast pig. The owner of a
litter of juvenile porkers, roasted to death
by the casual burning of the family sty,
iu picking about among the ruins, and
sorrowfully handling the crisp remains,
chanced to burn his fingers. Clapping
them to his moutii, he tasted a pleasure
so exquisite, that it made him at once for
, get his his s leo•i?.. Pouncing on
the prize, he not only dispatch the whole
barbecue at a sitting, but licked his lips
for more. The story got what, and the
entire country wan ablaze with burning
pig-pens; nor was it till many years after
that some adventurous innovator shocked
the adherents of conservative cookery.

process of preparing the favorite dish.
It is not for us lawyers to laugh at this.
have been more prone than we, to
roast pigs according to precedent. All or
us can remember when, in every action to
recover the value of one nun's propet ty
wrongly appropriated by another, it was
necessary to allege a fictitious tosin:l by
the former andii,n7i,ifi IT the latter: and
all because the first case of the sort, hun
dreds of years aqo, happened to be one of
reit Nosing and tiudinr. N:IY. I have even
known tin , loss and finding of a patch of
cabbages to be solemnly averred and no
lawyer thought of smiling at it.
In the department of Evidence, we have
been especially slow to learn. If you
want to know how cramped and' art
its rules are. just get into the witness-Los
to tell all you know about some case, and
see how much you'll be let tell.
Twenty years ago it was worse.

DETAILS OF THE SO'RAITTON 1103BERY.
The Scranton llepublic«rt. of August
says: One of the boldest, most adroitly
planned and successfully managed burg
laries occurred in this city yesterday af
ternoon at the Merchants' and Mechan
ics' Bank (John Handley & Co.) The
street on which this bank is located—
Lackawanna avenue—aside front being
the main thorougfare of our city, was
crowded at the time with persons looking
:it the miners' procession, which was just
passing the bank. The cashier was alone
in the banking office, Mr. Handley - . as
as well as the errand boy, having stepped
out a short time before. The construct ion
of the building is admirably adapted to a
scheme of the kind.
The vault stands in the centre of the
room: on tnie side, and in the rear of
which is an entrance way leading both
around the vault into the space behind the
counter. and also back to the private ()Mee
of Mr. Irandley. Aside front this public
entrance to the rear of the building, there
is also a long hall opening into the street,
and communicating, with a wide hall lead
ing into Mr. Handley's bank. All of
these hallways and doors were open yes
terday morning, affording interlopers un
molested range of the building.
It seems that a gentlemanly-appearing
person entered the front dour of the bank
ing Mae about ten o'clock and engaged
the close attention of Cashier Fuller in a
financial discussion of the relative merits
of the several interest-bearing securities.
Simultaneously with the entrance of this
man it boy, apparently about sixteen or
seventeen years of age, wearing slippers,
entered the long hall way front the street.
and [middy and quietly passed around in
to the banking office, and slipping unno
ticed behind the cashier, gained access to
the vault and took from the safe several
packages of currency.
Both the doors to the vault and the safe
were standing wide open. The young
man, or little man. having quickly ab
stracted the ,greenbacks unnoticed and
uanadested, packed them away in a satch
el which he suspended by a strap careless
ly front his shoulders. awl then stepped
out of the vault. At this moment the
cashier turned around. espied the intrud
er. and sharply asked him what he was
doing there. The response was cooly
given that he was looking for Mr. Iland
l•y.
The cashier directed him hack to lilt.
Idaudley's private office, where he appar
ently went, but really took advantage of
the little incident to make his escape.
The thieves made haste across the avenue.
and. hurrying up Wyoming avenue to
spruc e street, li n t down Penn avenue,
where a man awaited them in a buggy,
and all three drove across to Tlyde Park.
after which all trace of them is lost. At
a late hour last, night nothing farther had
been heard of the rubbers and it is likely
that there never will lie.
The amount lost by the batik was vari
ously stated upon tile street yesterday,

ined by Mr. I fandley that it is not as
great its it might have been. is a consider

untouched. The robbery wi I not in the

Though the trite old song, " Home
Sweet Home," has been sung within the
circle of almost every household, yet how
few persons of all who have heard its
strains, who was the author of those
beautiful words—
" 31Itl pleasures and palaces, though we may
roam,
Be It ever so bumble, there is no place like
borne."
It perhaps has never occurred to the
mind of any one unacquainted with the
circumstances, that the writer of a song,
which was found an echo in so many
hearts could be other than one who had
experienced all the pleasures of a happy
home, but sad as is the reflection, it is
nevertheless true, that John Howard
Payne,the author of "Home Sweet Home,
though be has contributed to the happi
ness of many homes, never had a home of
his own.
We clip the article below. suggesting
that a monument lie erected to the memo
ry of Payne, and give it a place in our col
umns, believing that it will find a response
in the hearts of our readers:
THE At-rnon or " S:WEET Homt,"—
As I sit in my garret here in Washington
watching the course of great men, and
the destiny of party, I meet often with
strange contradictions in this eventful
life. The most remarkable was that of
John Howard Payne, author of "Sweet
Home." I knew him personally. He oc
cupied the rooms under me for some time,
and his conversation was so captivating
that I often spent whole days in his apart
ments. Ile was an applicant for office at
the time—consul at Tunis—from which
he hail been removed.
What a sad thing it was to see the poet
subjected to the humiliations of office
seeking! Of an evening we wouli walk
along the street. Once in a while we
would see seine family circle so happy,
and forming to be so beautiful a group
that we would stop, and then pass silently
on such occasions he would give a his
tory of wandering, his trials. and all his
cares incident to his sensitive nature and
poverty. " How often," said he once,
"have I been in the heart of Paris, Berlin,
and London, or some other city. and heard
persons singing, or the hand-organ playing
" Sweet Home," without a shilling to buy
the next meal, or a place to lay my head.
The world literally sung my song, until
every heart is familiar with its melody.—
Yet I have been a wanderer from my boy
hood. My country has turned me ruth
less from office; and in old age 1 have to
submit to humiliation for breath."
Thus lie would complain of his hapless
ot. I its only wish was to die in a foreign
and, to be buried by strangers, cued sleep
übseurity.
I met him one day looking unusuall3
sad—"llave you got your consulate?"
said I.
" Yes and I leave in a week for Tunis;
I shall never return."
The last expression was not a, political
faith. Far from it. Poor Payne! his
wish was realized: he died at Tunis.—
Whether his remains have been brought
to this country. I know not. They should
be, and if none others would do it, let the
homeless throughout the world give a
penny for an inscription like the follow-

SINGULAR STORY
The .Nra eon 7; 1,,./roidi tells the follow-
ng sail story of the war: " I. learned yes
el day the circumstances of a melancholy
quandary in Ivhich a young lady, one of
the most estimable andlovely in this part
or the country, was placed. A gallant
young officer was betrothed to her. Ile
fell on the fatal field of :-:harpesburg.
she loved him dearly. and was afflicted
far beyond what lovers of a more buoyant,
temper would have suffered. :Site went
into mourning. secluded herself from so
duty devoted herself to religious and
charitalde ile t ds, and was 'dead to
the world.' A few months ago, a gentle
man of great wealth. superior talents and
handsome person, accidently formed her
acquaintance in the progress of a busi
ness transactlon. Ile was fascinated with
her: persevered until he c.vercame her
aversion little by little, and finally they
became engaged to be married only a fort
night ago. She already made out an or
der for an elegant, trousseau. Ib.ut four
(buys ago the tirz,t lover returned. Ile had
been carried to Northern hospital from
the battle lield. with no hope of life, and
had just peen liberated and returned. Ile
had a frightful scar across his face, only
one eye, is an invalid for life, and is poor;
hut to his listen burns a noble and manly
soul. The poor girl has shut herself up
and will not see either then]. Ills let

foul. her. the ghastly r u in of her lover,
Duce so handsome and so manly. Poor
fellow: I have caught a glimpse of him
once as he passed along the street with
his crutches and melancholy face."
Tar•. Rev. .1. D. Fulton and several
other Baptist clergymen in ]Boston having
spoken in their pulpits severely of Charles
Dickens. a meeting of Baptist ministers
was held on Monday to take the matter
into considerat ion. The special object of
the call appeared to be to rebuke those
who had not followed the same line. but
had eulogized .Mr. Ricketts. The meet
ing. however. took counsel of wisdom, and
resolved that no action was called for.
The Itev..l. D. Fulton cast the only vote
mtainst this resolution, and he thinks the
Baptist pulpit is becoming heterodox.
Sum v: tittle since a gentleman died who
during ltis life refused to believe in an
other world. Two or three weeks after
his demise, his wife received through a
medium a communication which read as
follows: "Dear wife. I now believe.
Please send my thin clothes."
•' Trtr; fact is," said an elderly wife. "a
man does not know how to straighten up
things. Ile does not know where to com
mence. 1 don't wonder," she continued,
"that when God made Adam lie went
right to work and made a woman to tell
him what to do."
