Calling the Dead,
Everybody will remember that Ma
ilda Heron, the aelrces, while in Call
fornia, gome years since, ronrriod a
lawyer populurlv known as "Htitrv
Byrne," from wuotn sho subnoouonU
ly parted. Upon his denth, a year or
iwo fttro, Mis ileron went to Kan
Francisco In Iho hope of aecurinj;
portion at least ol the hnndsonio prop
erty ho was said to bave left, in which
effort, we bolicvo, sho fuiled. Byrne
was aniversaiir aumiuca to bo a man
of rich and scholarly literary attain
ments ana ot original and eloquent
genius aa an advocate Among the
omry instances of his tact no a prose
cutor, the following from a 'Kuisco pa
per, is perhaps toe most Rlnking:
bomo ll mo in iho year is, a con-
tleman from one eoclion of the coun
try, being diaploased with the conduct,
actions, or words of another, manifest
ed his disapproval by deliberately
shooting him down.
In his hour ol need the influence of
his element was employed ; bis sec
tional frionds flocked around; emi
nent oounsol ware engaged, among
whom were Uio names of such men as
Baker, McDougnl and Tinglcy, the
leaders of tho bar. Byrne, who oocu
pied the position of JJiolrict attorney,
being nt that lime a vory young man
of rising talents, who was winning his
way to the high position ho attenvurus
attained, and Klisha Cook.
The day of trial commenced, hut it
was conccdod on all sides that tho
prisoner, with his eminent counsel, his
command ol money, anu bis throng
of sympathizing friends, would choat
the gallows ana mock at justice. At
tor Hie evidence was all in, Mr. Cook
made an ablo and brilliant opening for
the State, but to no avail. Then fol
lowed tho counsel for defence lhey
wore lorciblo, able and eloquent.
They had a powerful effect wrought
upon tho jury, and it was naliiublu to
all that there was scarcely n pos.ibili.
tyofft verdict antagonistic lo tbo
prisoner.
jtir. in rno roBO in ino court room
and amid deep silence preceded to
close for tho prosocution. Pale as the
whito wallsaround him, with rongand
flowing black locks, bis eyes burning
and glowing like a bjuting coal, lie tore
tho veil ol sojilnstry, weavod around
ttis subject by his adversaries, and
laid tho bald and awful facts before
thejnry. Now -rising to awful do-
nunciulion, ho soemeu a Aemcsis to
tbecowcringcriminalbcfuro him; now
be turned his voico to low porsuasion
as ho sought to mould tbo jury to bis
wishes, iiut, as he pausod, utter a
tremendous effort, his eyes persuadod
him that, unless ho called to his aid
some new and startling line of action,
the vordict would be airuinst him
At the time on old and eccentric
man was bailiff of the court. Ono of
bis poculiarifjos was to slocp through
the arguments of couneol, and naught
could arouse him save tho com m rind of
the court and the voico ot the District
Attorney directing him to do some of
ficial act; but at these wen Known
sounds ho would start from bis scat
with an alacrity remarkable for ono of
bis years.
Turninsto tho old man, (who was on-
joying his usual nap) Byrne, lo whom
this Idiosyncrasy was won miown,
pOiniOU lllo UllglT Uv mu iruuei'iui i-uuu-

ful altention to his duties. "Hut,"
said bo, "ho lias in this caso loft one
duty unperformed." Then, with
voice that thrilled through men s
hearts and made the rafters ring
"Mr. Bailiff, call Wm. Adams." The
ojd map sprang from hlssoat, and hur
rying across luo court room to me on
Iranco beyond, called in a weird, thick
manner, tho dead man s canio, Wil
liam A damn, William Adums, William
Adams, come into tho court.
, The criminal shivered in his scat,
men's blood flowed coldly, and the ai
lunce was as death. Justice seomod

Pearl'Fiflning in Vermont.
Tbo ' pearl-producing, frosh-water
olam,or mussel, is found in some West
ern streams, though few pearls have
yet been discovered in them. It seems
that fresh-wator pearls are found most
abundantly in tbo Winooskl river in
Vermont, not far from its souroo, and
in its small tributaries. Within a few
years much attention has been given
to bunting tbem, and vast quantities
of tho molluscs have been destroyed
by the merciless pcarl-huntors, yet
they aro still found in great numbers.
Pearls aro more frequently found in
clams that livo on stony or gravelly
bottoms, as a grain of sand or some
small foreign imbalance thai bos n
tered thoshell furmslhonuoleusaround
which the layers of pearl ore made,
taking an uuknown number of years
to form oven a small pearl. Stmie
limes thoy are taken from river-beds
of clay and mud. It is said clams
must be seven years old bel'ure they
begin to form a pearl.
The claims move slowly from place
to place, crawling odgewiso, leaving a
groovo.like track. The smu.ll end of
the clam slicks in tho bottom of tho
stream with the largo end out and
open, out of this a portion of the ani
mal protrudes, but at tho loast dis
turbance withdraws, and the shell
closes so tight it can not bo opened
without being cut at both cods.
When open, the pearl if any, Is at
onoe soon in tho Bmall end, imbedded
in the "flap."
The instruments necessary for "pearl
bunting" as it is commonly called, are
an iron rod, fluttond at ono end, witb
barbs cut in it lo draw out the clams,
a bandied basket to carry them in. a
stout knife to open the shells, and a
box of fine cotton in which to put Ike
pearls.
Sometimes the fisherman wears high
rubber boots, ofloner he wades into
the river with baro foet and bis
breeches rolled high, with bis basket
on arm and spoor in hand, lie thrusts
his spenr into any open shell be may
sco on the bottom, which immediately
closos, when be pulls it out, puts it in
his basket, and looks for another.
When satisfied with tho number bo
has got, be carrios them lo the bank,
whero be sits down and opens them
Theoxperienced huntercan u.ually tell
bolore opening it tboro is a pearl in
sido, as only the deformed shells con
tain one. Ulton thousands ot shells
aro opened and tho inmates destroyed
without obtaining a single pearl ot
value. Sometimes brownish ones, lus-
terlcss, and of no valuo are found.
The whito and rose colored ones alone
bave the beautiful light and desirable
lustra) ... .
Probably more deponds upon luok
thau skill. C. II. Stevens, Kq , of
l.ast Alontenclicr. is ono ol the most
successful pearl-fishers of that region,
and the one who some years ago lound
Iho largest pearl that has been die
covored iu the United Slutcs. lie
says : "The largest poarl I found was
n two feet ol water where) it ran
swift It was in tbo first shell I took
out, nnd I could see tho place closo to
it whore some ono els bad taken out
anolhor. The pearl is I of an inch io
diametor, round as a ball, and of fine
luslro. It is now owned by a gonlle
man in Hew York, who values it
among the thousands. It was nearly
in tbe middle ot ihsciatn oy too ninge,
tbe only ono 1 over beard of being
found thore."
Fnr .nrrenNfiil hnntintr a still dav is
necessary, as a small ripple on deep
wator will hide tbe clams. In shal
low water it is not so important.
Upon such a day, during a pearl
fever," it is not uncommon to see num
bers of men and boys, ond sometimes
women, standing in the Winooski
gathering the clams, or scatod on Iho
bank opening them. In warm weath
er sometimes, such numbers of clams
are destroyed that the air is tainted
with their decay tor a long distance
Unaired Chambers.
Tho following sensible odvice is giv
en us by a correspondent In tbo loun
tru Gentleman :
"I pass somo houses in every town
whose windows might as well bo sealed
in with tho walls for any purpose they
have but to lot in tho light. Thoy
are novor opened, summor or winter.
In winter it is loo cold; in tho sum-
mer the flies stray in, or, if Uioy aro
tiottod. tbo dust sifts through the nets.
Now, I can tell a porson who inhabits
suoh chambers when l pass mm in iue
Hrect there is such a smell about
his elothinir. I always wish for
sniff of cologno, or hartshorn, or burnt
foatbers, or something of tho sort, to
'lake tho lasto out. A house mat is
never uircd has every nook and corner

"A Day with Charles," quotes the lot?
lowing anoodote from the private jour
nal of one of Dickons's friends, which
illustrates Dickons's juvenile precocity
as a newspapor reporter : Dickons be
gan his career when a youth ot nine
loan, under bis uncle, John llonry
Barrow, who started The Mirror of
Parliament, in opposition to Hansard.
Hansard always compiled bis reports
from the morning newepspor, whereas
Barrow engaged a special staff of able
reportors, sending each important ora
tioa In proof to its spoaker for correc
tion. When Stanley fulminated bis
rm'llinpia against O Conncll, it fell to
young Dickens's turn lo report the last
third ol it. l bs prooi oi me wnoie
pooch was forwarded to Mr. Stanley.
llo returned it lo Barrow, with the re
mark that tbo first two-thirds were so
badly reported as lo bo unintelligible,
but that if the gentleman who had so
admirably reported the last third of
his speech could be sont to him, no
would speak the rest of it to him alone.
Accordingly, at an hour appointed,
young Dickons made his appearance
at Mr. Stanley's, nolo-book in band.
It was with evident hesitation that
the sorvant ushorcd him into the li
brary, the tables of which were cov
ered witb newspapors. Presently the
master ol the bouse appeared, eyed
the youth suspiciously, and said :
"1 bog pardon, but I bad hoped to
see the gontloman who had reported
part of my speech," ko.
"I am that gontloman," retorted
Dickons, turning red in tho face, and
feeling his dignity somewhat offended.
"Uli, Indeed I replied Air. Stanley,
pushing about the papers, and turn
ng bis back to cooooal an involuntary
smile. ' '
It was not long bofore Sir James
Uraham stopped in j and tben Stanley
commenced his speech. At first he
stood still, addressing one of the win
dow-curtains as Air. tweaker. Abon
he walked up nnd down the room,
gesticulating and declaiming witb all
the hre and loi co he uad shown in me
Uonso of Commons. . Graham, with
newspaper before him, followed, and
occasionally checked him, when he
bad forgotteu some important point,
or had transposod ono proposition in
the placo of anothor. When tbe en-
tiro Hpeech had boon luliy reported,
Stanley rolurnod tbe revise, witb
Dickens s corrected edition ol the
parts of the spoceh which bad been
bungled, with a note to Barrow highly
complimentary to the stripling renor-
ter, anu wuu la auauuwy ireuii;tiuii ui
a great career for bim in the luture.
Dickens had totally forgotten this in
cident," Un'til," many-years afterp'e
was invited to'dino will jord xvorDy
for tho first timo. Having boon shown
with the other gliosis, bofore dinner,
into the library, he lull a strange son
sciousness of having boon in it before,
which be could not account for. llo
was in a state of bewildormont about
it all dinner time ; for he could not
rocull Ibo oiroumslance which brought
tho reporting adventure to his mind.
But, at all events, soraoiuing aid, anu
he reminded his host of it. Lord
Derbv was deliifhlcd to rocognizo
bis now friend nis boy-reporlur, and
told tho story to a soioct low, wno,
with Dickons, had stayed after ths
rest of tbe company had departed.
Wearing a New Boot.
Tbo Danbury Newt says : It is
little singular how well a pair of boots
can bo made to fit at tbe storo. You
may not be ablo to get your foot
only part way down the log at the
first trial, but that is because your
stocking is awoaty, or you havon t
started right, and Iho Uwemnucr sug
gests that you start again anei stand
up lo It, and be throws in a little pow
dor from a peppor box to aid you.
And so you stand up, and pound down
your foot, and partly trip yourself up,
and your eyes slick out in an unpleas
ant manner, and every vein in your
body appoars to be on the point oi
bursting, and all the while that dealer
stands around and eyos the opera
tion ns intently as if the whole affair
was porloclly new and novel to him
When your foot has finally struok bot
tom, tonre is a faint impression on
your mind that you havo stopped into
an open stove, oui ne romovts it. vy
solemnly observing that he novor saw
a boot fit quite ss good as that. You
may suggost that your toe presses too
hard against the front.or that some of
tho bones fn the side of the foot aro
too much smashed, but he says this is
always the way with a now boot, and
that the troublo will entirely disap
pear in a tew days. Tben you take
tho old puir under your arm and start
for home as animated as a relto of
1812, all the while fooling that ths
world will not look bright and happy
to you ngain until you have brained
that shoomokor. You limp down
town the next day, and smile all the
whilo with your mouth, whilo your
eyos look ns if you wers walking over
an oyslor bod barefoot. When no
ono is looking you kick against a posl
or somo other obstruction, and show a
fondness for stopping and rosting
arrnlnst something that will suatalu

at night you go ior moa uiu uuvi.

His plan is to cut locks from con

How to Haul Long Timbor. '
A small man or even a boy with a
team can haul a long slick of timber,
eilhor round or squaro, with compara
tive case if be understands how lo
load it. Let us supposo, for cxamplo,
tbnt one has a quantity of round lim
ber to haul from the forest; perhaps
some or Uo shoes aro tiny leci in
length. Take the hind wheels of a
strong wsgon, fit a pole to the axlo
and hounds for a tongue, then sling
tho timbor beneath the axlelreo, and
lash tbe end of tho tongue to the tim
ber. Tbo timber should bo rolled
upon a skid a foot from tho ground,
and tho whoels should be secured toil
a trifle back ot the middlo, so that the
forward end will be about ono hundred
pounds heavier than the rear end.
Then when the team is hitched by a
chain to tho fore-end, the slick will bo
kont oloar of the ground. J he team
can bo hitched In either end in caso of
necessity. Timber is frequently slung
beneath the sxletrco of a cart or wag
on. and tho rear onu is anowea vo
drag on tho ground. By this moans
noarlv half tho load will drag heavily,
requiring double tho amount of team
to haul it. Sovor.fjJ Jong and heavy
roles can be bung beneath an ax'.ctreo.
and transported wilh esse by hitching
the team to tho end. comparatively
few persons in the rural districts have
over hoard of this convenient modo of
hsndling long timbor. Thoy should
understand it. as it will often save an
immense amount of heavy drawing.
When going down a hill the weight
of tbedrivoron the fbroend of the tim
ber will usually be sufticiont to control
tho rate of speed, exoept down sleep
grades. Whon ono employs oxen and
a cart sling the long timber honoath
the axlotree, lasb the end oi ma longne
to ilia timber, and hitch li s oxen to
either end of the slick. A yoke of
oxen could be able lo draw a slick in
