" I'vo been having a pretty hard time,
and would like to Iiiivh Foiiietlilnjj to

into tho bar and gave him tome liquor,
after which ho went into Iho dining
room and pnrtoolc of breakfast. Upon
coming out bo desired an Interview with
me, when ho told mote uas a tailor by
trade, an utter stiaugcr in thoclty, that
lie had no means, and asked mo if I
would trust lit in to a week's board, pro
vided ho could gtt work. I said I
would do that ; and more than that, I
Interested myself in his welfare, and
went out and secured a tlttiatlou for
111 in. Ills name was entered upon tho
registry of the hotel - l'atrlck Murray,
St. John's, N. 1'., On tho evening of
the 3d of September he came in lato to
tea. The wife of Capt.llager, of New
York who was superintending the ex
cavations in the hai bor -her sister and
cousin, with two children, were seated
at their piivato table. Murray began
lu a free way a conversation with Sirs,
llager, wheiHipou tho waiter reiiuested
liim to desist. lie nroto from the table
tn an angry mood and left tho dining
room. Mrs. llager paid no attention
to tho man, and upon concluding Hip
per went to the bitting room and en
caged in conversation with Mrs. Mur
phy, after which sho started to her own
npsi nients, and Murray assaulted her.
I wus summoned, and, Munay, declin
ing to quit my house, I tried to pull
him out, and alter a btrugglo lie fell to
tho foot of the staircase with a fractur
ed skull, lie died four days afterward.
I was arrested and tried for tho
murder of that man. Tho trlil lasted
eight days and occasioned great excite
ment. 1 had to meet tho prejudleu of
the friends of tho Malno liquor law fiom
the fact that I kept a hotel at which
liquor was sold, and I was bitterly de
nounced and charged with having given
the man liquor. I never pave him but
ono glass of liquor In my life, and that
was for medicine, and 1 bail done all I
could to assist him to a life of sobrltty
and usefulness, lean never tell how
much I suffered for being tried for mur
der In tho presence of my wlfo anil
family ond friends. Tho verdict was
manslaughter. Thn caso was appealed,
and I was admitted to ball in tho sum
of $10,000. Gen. bhepley and A. A.
Stout becoming my bondsmen. I re
turned homo veiy much depressed to
think I had been convicted of such a
lieinniw offento, when beforo Ood I
knew I was entirely innocent. I then
began to drink very hard. My vvlio
was very much troubled, though patient
and kind, and cioru in her face tliu suf
ferings she enduied at tho terrible cal
amity that had couiu upon us and our
children. For about one j ear Ikepton
drinking, and became exceedingly leck
less. My Mends had mo lucked up
July 30, 1870, in tho county jail In
Portland, alter which my family re
moved from tho hotel ami wei u compell
ed to take up quarters in a little tene
ment house on what was known as tliu
"back cove," and were in very desti
tute circumstances. I remained In jail
thrco months. On the ljtli of August,
at a religious meeting held lu tho prison
by C'apt. Cyrus Sturtevant, I made up
my mind, Ood helping me, never to sell
another drop or drink another glass of
intoxicating liquor. Meantime tho caso
had been appealed and thu verdict mh
tamcd. I wasarralgned and sentenced
for a period of sixty days in tho county
jail at lortlaiul. On tho expiiatlon nf
my sentence I was invited tn deliver an
address lu the City Hall on Uoepel tern
icrance, and from that tune, April,
1871, I date my entrance into the work
to which I have dedicated the remainder
of my life.

Tho history of tho plow is remarkable;
the most ancient and simplu of ma
chines, yet It has bo;n almost the la-t
to undergo Improvement Tho llrt
plow Is supposed to have been the rude
branch of a tree, cut so as to have n
cleft end, tho point of which, iliaggcil
along tho surface of tho ground, scrap
ed a furrow Into which seed weio
ihiown. It scon occurred to tho hus
bandman that ho might relievo his own
labor by yoking an animal to tho Ion-;
arm of this primitlvu Instrument; then
arose thu necessity i'er a han'ille, atllxed
lo tho back, so that tho plow might bu
guidtd. Thu s'.r.nglh of the animal
soon wore away or bioko tho cleft of
the branch, aril this necessity gave rl-o
to tho invention of means for attaching
movable shares, lirstof wood, and ni-xt
of stone, cupper cr Iron, walked ton
shape adaptt it to tho cutting) f furrows,
so as to avoid tho excessive labor aris
ing from tho plowman's having to le.wi
upon the plow with all his weight to
press It into tlio eirth. Just such an
Implementas these, conjectureo indicate,
was by tho Saxons. Souo of thu facts
connected with tho history of the plow
uro almost Incredible. In Irvlar.il thero
ouco prevailed n custom of "plowing by
horse's tall." Tho draught-pole was
lashed lo thu till of the horse, and, as
no iwiimm was employed, two men
wer iK'cweary, one lo gulda and pre
rjn (bo iuw, the other to direct the
. wbloli ho did by walking back
wards beforo tho mlscrablo animal, and
beatluc it on tho head on either sldis
according to tho direction required.
Thli custom prevailed for a consider
able time, in splto of a law which was
passed lu the early part of thu seven
teenth century Imposing severe penal
tle3Upon persons found guilty of "plow
ing; by Ibu horse's tall." A paper lu
the "Transactions of theSoclety of An
tlquniles of Scotland" speaks of "tho
awkward custom of joking horses by
thn lull, ind tho driver of harrows
walking backward, with his facodlrect
lv turned to the tnnso which ho led."
Tho Kpv. O. Glway, says: "In aitclcnl
times, all thrcugh tho V.'i'st ot Iitiand,
It was tho practice to work both tho
tho plow and the harrow with horses
drawing from tlnir tails. 1 am assur
ed that it Is still 1810) a part of tile
Kirls hu-diandry." In 1034, during tho
reign or Charles I., the Irish Parlia
ment passed tho followlug: "Act
against Ploughing by tho Tayle, Pull
ing tho Wool oil living Sheep-," "No
person or peisons whatsoever shall,
after ono yeare next ensucing thu cud
of tho present P.villaruent, plough har
row, draw, or worke with any horse,
gelding, mure, garren, or colt, by the
taile, shall cause, procure, orsuller any
other carriages with his horses, mare,
geldings, gorrati!', or colts, or any of
them by thu tallej and tliat no person
or persons whatsoever shall, after the
end of this present Parliament, pull thu
wool off any living sheep, or causu or
piocure lo ho pulled Instead of shearing
or clipping of them; and If any shall do
contraiiu to this act and tho intention
thereof, that tho justices of assizo at
the general as.lzesto bo holdeii beforo
them, and tho justices of peace nt their
quarter-sessions, shall have power by
this act to enquire of, hearo and deter
mine, nil and every offence and offences
done ccntiary to tliu present net, and
to punish the offenders which shall do
contrary lo the same, by lino mid Im
prisonment, ns they in their discretion
shall think lit."
CAXULU OMKSS AM) SUPERSTI
TION'S. Tho customs and superstitions con
nected with candles are extremely nu
merous. A letter lu the LoiUon Times
of 23tli March, 1873, relates to sales
"by Inch of candles;' "When tho bid
ding is opened, a su all candle similar
to a vesta Is lighted; at each bid a new
one U lighted and if no now bid Is given
befuiu it goes out, a second, and on
that going out without u bid, a thiid
candle Is lighted. Thu last bidder at
the tlniu the third candle goes, out is
declared tho purchaser." In Pepys's
Diaiy, under the date Gilt November,
10(10, wo read: "To ourollioo where wo
met ail for tho sale of two ships by an
Inch of candle thu first tlino that I
ever saw nny of this kiml where I ob
served how they do Invito ono another,
and nt least how they nil do cry, and
wo have much to do to tell who did ciy
last." Tho woid "cry" used here is
evidently thu sainens our modern wvrd
"bid." The custom, like many anoth
er, has not wholly dhdoutiu England,
ns tho following tiom a llil-tol paper of
thu 29th March, 1S73, proves: "The
practice of letting by Inch of candle
still prevails in the county of Dorset.
At tlio annual letting of the pailsh
meadow of Hio.ulwy, near Weymouth,
which occuired a low weeks ago, an
inch of candle was placed on a piece of
wood nluo luch-s square, and lighted
by one of the parish ollleers. Tliu bid
dings were taken down by ono ot thu
parish ollleers, and thu ch.iuco of tak
ing the mtadow was open lo all while
thu candlo wns burning. The last bid
der beforo the caudlu went out was the
Incoming tenant. This year the candle
was extinguished suddenly."
Candle omens are Lumerousand varl
ous. Sonio are almost too well known
to need mention, while a knowledge of
others is nut so general. "A collection
of tallow," says Orose, "rising up
against the wick of a c.iiulle, Is styled
the winding-sl.eet, and deemed tin omen
of death In tho family," Tho samo
w riter tells us that a spark at thu can
dle denotes that tho pursuit oppo-llo to
It will shortly receive a letter. To rind
to whom the letter Is to come, accord,
lug to another popular superstition, tliu
caudiu-btlcl: should ho struck mi thu
table, and whoever thu spark falls op
posllo will receive tho letter. If it fulls
after ono knock, it comes tho next day;
after two, thu second day, and soon.
A kind ut fungus lu Ihuc.imtle pi edicts
the visit of a stranger from that p.ut uf
the country nearest thu object. Upon
this that pedantic wiiterSir Thomas
llrowno observes: "'Iho fungous par
cels about tho wicks of caudles only
Indicate a moist and pluvious air, which
hinders 1 1 10 avolatlon of thu light aiii
t.tvillous particles, whereupon they set
tle upon tho snast. That candles and
lights bum bluo and dim at tho appari
tion of spirits may bo true, If tliu am
bient air bo full of sulphureous spirits,
as it happens olten in mines." Cau
dles when they burn bluu are a sign of
a spirit in thu house or not far fiom it,
says Melton, in his "Astiolngustor."
And Hero says to Iter lover In " Ovid
Tinvestlo :"
' l'or la night lite, ti tH foil tins.
Jl v uaiulul us 1 .it burnt b cw,
W Iiieh put pour tua in uoind lr uht,
Ami eiiietutiiu ut able sought.
WItU uarcer eyes, ami tun.a. aud tall."
And tho following beautiful lines,
from thu "Knight of tho lJurmn-: lVs
tlo," show the significance of bluish
burning caudles :
M C'ouie, vtm wnoso lovers are dead,

A candle burning blue seems, however,
to be, besides, a blgu of frost :

candles accidentally, and not by Inten
tion, Is supposed to secure for himself
the ollicu ot sheriff before tho expira
tion of the year. Tho amiable VIcwr of
WakclleM, referring to Ids daughters'
waking dreams, says, "The girls havn
their omens too; they paw rings In tho
candle." A writer in thu Uentleman's
Magazine, 1703, states that tho Irish,
when they put out a candle, say, "May
the Lord renew or send us the light of
heaven." (l"orgo Herbert also refers
to the saying in ids "Country Parson."
The Venetians have a bit tf folk-lore,

A young New Yorkcf
who 1ms been (ravelling in the
East, could not resist the temp
tation ofjourneyinp: to Uagdari,
which through the "Arabian
Nights' and their roseate de
scriptions of the saraccuic
capital. lie has written home
a private letter expressing his
bitter disappointment at the
Bagdad ol' his limey as com
pared with the Bagdad ol' fact.
Instead of finding a beautiful
and wonderful city, the centre
of Arabic civilisation and re
finement, possessed of 300,000
picturesque inhabitants, he
found a shrunken town of(K),
000 ignorant and repulsive
mussulmans, with narrow, dir
ty, un paved streets, full of ruts,
and strewed with carcases
which would make perpetual
pestilence, but l'or devouring
dogs, the only scavengers.
A very simple process is
being extcnsivelv employed for
freeing . woodland newly i
brought into cultivation from
the stumps of trees. A hole j
about two inches in diameter
and eighteen inches in depth
is bored in the stump about au
tumn, filed with a concentra
ted solution of saltpetre, and
closed with a plug. In the fol
lowing spring a pint or so of
petroleum is poured in the
same hole and set on fire.
During the course of the win
ter the saltpetre solution has
penetrated every portion in
the stump, so that not only
this, but also the roots, are
thoroughly burnt out. The
ash is left in skit, and forms a
valuable manure.
Some time ago. when a
former Commissioner of Indi
an Affairs, Mr. N. G. Taylor,
was explaining to Little leav
en the chief of Arapahocs, the
difference between heaven and
hell, and the fact that each
would be open to mankindir"
respective of race or color, the
chief answered: "It is a good
notion heap good for if all
the whites are like the olics I
know, when Indian gets to
heaven few whites will trouble
him pretty much all go t'oth
er place."
Those newspapers which
are too proud or too obstinate to
retract any unjust or improper
language which they have ad
mitted to their colums should
profit by the example of an ex
change, which gives notice as
follows: If auy subscriber finds
a line in his paper that he docs
not like and cannot agree
with, if he will bring his paper
to the oflico and point out the
offending line, the editor will
take his scissors and cut it out
for him.
There is one impertinence
which Washington society will
no longer tolerate. We do not
refer to the unseemly habit of
asking a mature single lady
her age. This is insolent, but
may be forgiven. Eut tn ask

ber of his regiment or the scene
of his service that sort of scene
has gone quite far enough.
