O, silent hills across the lake, ■
Asleep-iii moonlight or awake ' r:. -
To catcff tho color of the sky
That sifts through every cloud swept by;
Jlow beautiful ye aro in change
Of sultry haze and Btorm-light strange;
How dreamlike rest yc on the bar
That parts the billow from tho star;
How ; blcnd your mists with waters cloar,
Till earth floats off, and Heaven seems near !
Ye faint and fade, a pearly zono,
The coast-line of a land unknown.
Yet that is son-burnt Ossipee,
Plunged knee-deep in the limpid sea,
Somewhere among these grouping isles
Old White Face from his cloud-cap smiles,
And gray Chocorna bends his crown
To look on happy hamlets down;
And every pass and mountain slope
Leads out and on some human hope.
Here, the great hollows of tho hills
The glamor of tho June day fills.
Along the climbing path, the brier,
In rose-blown beauty beckoning higher,
Breathes Bwcetly the warm uplands over;
And, gay with buttercups and-elover,
The slopes ofmeadowy freshness make
A green foil to the sparkling lake.
So is it with yon bills that swim
Upon the horizon blue and dim.
For all the summer is not ours;
On other shores familiar flowers
Finds blossoming as fresh as these
In shade, and shine, and eddying breeze
And scented slopes, as cool and green,
To kiesof lisping ripples lean.
So is it with the Lana boyond
This earth we presß with steps so fond.
Upon those faintly-outlined hills
God's sunshine sleeps, His dew distills.
Tho dear beatitudes of home
Within tho heavenly boundaries come;
The hearts that made life’s fragrance here
To Eden-hannts bring added cheer;
And all the beauty, all the good,
Lost to our lower altitude;
Transfigured, yet the same, are given,
Upon the mountain height of heaven.
O, cloud-swathed hills the flood across,
y c hide the mystery of our loss;
Yet hide it bnt a little while;
Fast sun-lit shore and shadowy isle,
Ont to the still lake’s furthest brim
ErcloDg our bark tho wave shall skim.
And what tho vigor and the glow
Our earthly-torpid souls shall know,
When, grounded on the silver sands,
We feel the clasp of loving hands,
And see the walls of Bapphire gleam,
Nor tongue can tell, nor heart can dream.
Butin your rifts ofTvondrousdigbt
Wherewith these lower fields are bright,
In every strengthening breeze that brings
The mountain-health upon Its wlugs,
We own the gift of Pentecost,
And not one hint of heaven is lost.
A Group of Vagabonds,
[From tho Uornhill Magazine.!
Whatever pilgrimages might have been at
an earlier period, they were anything but dis
agreeable during the middle ages. Bit by bit
our ancestors eliminated harsh devotion, and
substituted amusement, until they became
the orthodox means <of spending a holiday.
Between the tenth and fifteenth centuries
they teemed with pleasant variety, crowding
the highways with temporary devotees (“iu
numerabilis multitudo coepit confluere; ordo
infeiiores plebis, mediocres, reges’et comitea,
praeeulee,muliere3 mult® nobileß cum paupar
toiibus,” as Glaberhath it), and tempting a
great many people to pass their livesln wan
dering from shrine to shrine. 1 And, -consid
ering the scenes through which they wound;
the adventures that befell, and the benefits
that they promised—these excursions had ob
viously sufficient attraction to rouße the vag
abond in the steadiest temperament. N >r
were the’varied characters and strange expe
riences of the people they threw together
calculated to allay the _ disposition. Here
Was one whohadknelt at OomposteHa, there
Another who had bathed im the Jordan, and
yonder a third who had climbed the precipices
of Sinai. This one had strained at the oar in
the. galleys of Barbary, that one—like Sir
John; Mandeville—had served some outlaud
isb .potentate, and their neighbor,. blue-eyed
and large of limb, had wielded the Verangiau
axeat the palace gate of Byzantium. All
these had-much to tell that was well worth
listening to,' and long practice had enabled
them to deliver it with the best effect. They
drew the long bow, indeed, without scruple,
and enlarged-concerning magician and mar
vel until wonder’s self-was sated. But this
was no more than was expected. Indeed,they
cpuld not otherwise have won a hearing, for
our fathers were too fond of gorgeous acces
sories in all things to tolerate even truth in
unembellished form.
Anything and everything, from a scalding
wife to homicide, was a sufficient excuse for
pilgrimage. It was the best possible prepa
ration for a dangerous enterprise, and the
most approved form of thanksgiving for suc
cess or escape from peril The Lord of
Joinville stalked in his shirt to every shrine
within twenty leagues of his castle previous
to joining St.' Louis in one of his disastrous
crusades. A pilgrimage was the first act of
Columbus on recrossing the Atlantic. Louis
VII. got rid of a bad wife by means of one
such promenade, engaged in ' another out of
gratitude for getting a good one, aud under
took a series, distributed over twenty-eight
years, to induce the saints to provide
him, as they did at length, with a son and
heir. Gibbon hints th'at Peter the Hermit
became a pilgrim in order to escape from
matrimony. A certain Guy of Crema went
a lithe way to Ararat to procure a piece of
the ark ; . for his wife to Wear as a talisman
against too groat an increase of family. Tne
. cross of the good thief ;£>lsmas, preserved by
the Cypriotes, was in" great request among
Eious cutpurses. Count Gillibrand, of Bpon
eim, traveled to lona to entreatSt, Coluinba
foi a favuiable issue to his feud with his
neighbor, the Vxchbishop of Treves; and a
dame of Paris tramped toßheimS to procure
a spiritual letU'e-de-cachet against her bus
band, who happened to be a staunch Burgun
dian, herself being strongly attached to the
opposite party, in the person of one of its
officers.
A troop of pilgrims was never wanting in
comic materials. It was always sure to
abound in flirtation, fun and frolic, especially
in eccentricity; and was, indeed, about as
queer a hotch-potch of pe sons as could
possibly be contrived. The characters of
many were just as odd as their motives, and
t’-e tollowing, well known in their time,'may
be taken as average specimens. Here pbdded
the merchant Saswolf, who endeavored by
frequent pilgrimage to atone for bis much
regretted bat unconquerable propensity to
cheating, By his side went ihemoakßi
manns of.Evfoult, ailiicted, poor man, to the
anhoyahee of his brother monks, with invet
erate kleptomania as regarded tbeir breeches,
and who was, therefore, condemned to this
species of exile from his ■’onventi And
wherever the spirit of mischief found amplest
scope there marched Arlotto il Piovine, the
jnost celebrated, droll and incorrigible vaga
bond of bis age, the perpetrator of more loose
jests abd. ridiculous. pranks than even Ra
belais, andj according to his countrymen,
tbC father of all the ‘ ‘ Joe-Millerisms ” that
bave-been handed down .to .them from, the
- cuddle ages. '
And these bands contained a sufficient ad
mixture of -the tragic to satisfy the keenest
loverfi of sensation. In their skirts generally
skulked one or. two like a pair of noble Bre
ton brothers, who, for mauif .id misdeeds,
had been condemned to wander in their
shirts, barefoot, besprinkled with ashes, and
heavily ironed, ‘'until it should please God
to release them from the burden of ' their
chains.” During four year* -hardship -and
perjl they, bore these fetters about with them,,
from Mount Ararat to Loch Derg, until, in
the course of time and many a weary march,
the iron had eaten deeply into their fle9b. At
last, when every foreign saint had proved
obdurate, a countryman took pity on their
plight, aDd .heir chains dropped otf one
fine morning at the tomb of Bt. Marcellinus.
These impedimenta did not always betoken a
thrilling story aDd a Bincere conversion. Even
so early as the days of Charlemagne we find
them denounced as, in too many cases, the
insignia of imposture.
No doubt the palmers prayed heartily
enough at the shrine when they reached it.
But it does not appear that they harrassed the
saints overmuch as they trudged along. On
the contrary, we have good reason for sus
pecting that songs, legends—some broadly
humorous, some quaint and marvellous —
stirring tales of individual adventure, aud the
notes of the bagpipe and flute, were the means
most frequently adopted for beguiling the
way; that most of them were very much of
the earth earthy so long aB they kept in mo
tion; and that if by chance they raised their
eyes to heaven it was generally, like the group
described by Cervantes,to take aim at it with
the end of a bottle.
But a more singular misuse of pilgrimage
remainßto be told. There are several in
stances extant of persons who undertook
these excursions for the express and only pur
pose of stealing relics. A certain knightly
devotee, who went forth to assist in transfer
ring the remains of a celebrated saint to a
new and gorgeouß shrine, managed to convoy
a rib into his sleeve during the ceremony, and
to Carry ito-off undetected. And Stephen,
chanter to toe monastery of Angers, trudged
barefoot through the whole length of France
and lialy, all the way to Apulia, in order to
purloin an arm of St. Nicholas, the miracu
lous power of which had brought much glory
and gain to the Abbey of Ban, and all but
succeeded in the attempt. But unfortu
nately for him his money ran short in the
very nick of time, and in trying to dispose
of the silver that enclosed the relic,
the poor man was detected and the
booty reclaimed. There was, how
ever, Bomo liule excuse for these holy thieves.
By this time it had become almost impossible
to procure a genuine relic in any other way;
for the graves of martyr and saint had been
so thoroughly ransacked that not even a toe
nail with any pretence to occult power .re
mained unappropriated, and the few who
endeavored to procure these things in the
regular way of traffic invariably found
themselves swindled; like the knigtit Albert
of Stem, for instance, who employed a large
portiun of his wealth (the plunder of many
cumpaigus) In purchasing the skull of St.
Anne. This be deposited with much pomp
in the principal church of Rome,and received
the next morning a small note from his chap
men, the monks of Lyons, apprising him that
be was “done,” for the true skull of St. Anne,
as they wrote, had never once left their pos
session, and never should.
As a mutter of course every company of
pilgrims had its sprinkling of loose charac
ters, whose blandishments were only too suc
cessful This, however, was very natural.
The conscience whose catalogue of sins was
so soon to become a tabula\raea, could not
be expected to scruple much about adding a
few more to the list. Nor was the fact that
his old score had ceased to stare'a man in the
face at all likely to deter him from commenc
ing to run up a new one. But these repro
bates were not altogether without their use.
The occasional conversion of one of the most
abandoned, at the close of a licentious cam
paign, tended greatly to maintain the miracu
lous rephte oLthe saint who had interposed to
effect it. And though these converts were
something given to backsliding, one or two
of them, like St. Mary of Egypt, made such
progress in grace as eventually rendered them
good subjects for canonization, enshrinement
and pilgrimage also.
It was not difficult to graduate a pil
grimage according to Inclination or iniquity.
It might be made as short as a hunting mass,
or as long as the Midgard, serpent that was
Baid to encircle the world. Cologne and
Compostella, Sinai and Ararat, the more
famous places of resort, formed the ektremi
ties of an enormous quadrangle, enclosing
the Mediterranean; while lanes of lqsser but
still sufficient note were plentifully strewn
between. In most countries hospitals were
maintained at every stage for the accommo
dation of the pilgrim; and chivalry in arms
kept watch and ward wherever he was in
danger of pagan insult or aggression. For
him the Teutonic brotherhood guarded the
German forests; for him the knights of San
tiago patrolled the Moorish frontier; and for
him the galleys of Sl John maintained cease
less and most gallant warfare with the merci
less rovers of the Mediterranean. Kings
aud councils took care of his interests
w bile engaged in these holy excursions, and
hedged his household and estate from all as
sault. Debtors were forbidden to dun and
enemies to assail, and the severest form of
exaommunicatiou was denounced against his
wife did she dare to contract another marriage
during his ahse.nce. Of course there were
exceptional places and periods wherein pil
grimage became unusually perilous—as, for
.instance, wheu about the middle of the fif
teenth century a certain Italian nobleman es
tablished himself in a strong castle on the
road to Loretto, and amused himself for some
time with robbing the male pilgrims and out
raging the women. But these hitches in that
pleasant fife were few and far between. Gen
erally speaking, the pilgrim was a complete
illustration of tie eastern proverb, for, no
matter where he was thrown into the ever
flowing Nile of pilgrimage, he was pretty sure
to emerge with a fish in his mouth,and a loaf
in his hand.
The Bites of some prominent: shrines were
designated by great events ; but by far the
greater number owed their repute to the pos
session of relics. A goodly number of these
relics too, like Sir Boyle Roche’s bird, had
the facul'y of gracing two places at once.
The holy stairs—those which originally led
to Pilate’s judgment seat —might be contem
plated at Rume as well as at Bonn. , The
holy cross existed in a complete state at Con
stantinople, and in fragments all over the
world, : One. monastery, displayed the head of
a saint, another his head, and a third his
head. And there were several examples of
holy men who were first distributed piece
meal among forty or fifty different abbeys,
and then were, yet to be seen, unmutilated,
under the guardianship of some unusually
favored community. But it was not indis
pensable tnat relics should always be saintly;
it was sufficient it they happened to be very
extraordinary. Thus, in one quarter might
be seen the plume of a phoenix, presented by
one of the popes; in another the mark that
Cain bore about, on his forehead; and in a
third the tip of Lucifer’s tail, lost in conflict
with a Syrian hermit.
When relics were not attainable, or were
like to be overshadowed by noted matter of
the sort in the neighborhood,recourse was had
to picture, statue and trick, with very sub
stantial results. Thuß, one place accumulated
liberal crowds by a sweeping Madonna; an
other by a crucifix exuding blood or oil; a
third by a figure which groaned; while the
good fathers of Breslau, more original still,at
tracted and perplexed their visitors by a
clever carving, which purported to represent

For all possible temporal afflictions—from a
pestilence to a plague of rats—there . existed
special remedies; and every, calamity sent
forth crowds to prdfit by them.- ’ •Sti Lambert
was the chosen physician-of the epileptic;
St. Odille of the blind; St. Blaise was intalli-
in the cure of sore throats; a journey to
the shrine of St. Appollonia never failed to
remove the toothache; and the barrenest stock
grew prolific of olive branches when washed
by the waves of the Jordan. But unques
tionably the oddest prayer ever made at a
shrine was that of, the good Knight Ralph,
who “entreated that his body might be over
spread with the foul disease of leprosy,so that
his soul might be cleansed from sin,” and
who, obtaining his desire, died Bix years
afterward in the odor of sanctity. .
Elibu Enrjritt on the “Black Country.”
Elihu Burritt has just published in Eng
land a new book, called “Walks in the
Black Country and its Green Border-Land,”
of which the London Examiner say s: “The
greater part of this volume appears to have
been written in the first instance as a report
to the Department of State at Washington,
from the Amerloan consulate at Birming
ham. Mr. Burritt, the consul for that dis
trict, afterwards introduced some more in
teresting details respecting the scenery, pub
lic buildings, and historical associations of
the Black Country and its surroundings, in
order to make it more readable to persons
not deeply interested in the facta, figures and
statistics of manufactures and trade contained
therein. The author has thus worked up a
pleasant volume, of necessity somewhat de
sultory, but illuminated throughout by his
fascinating eloquence.
“The first few chapters treat of the politi
cal and social history of Birmingham,
of its great men of science, inventors, reform
ers and artists; of Us institutions and public
buildings; of the nse and progress of its me
chanical and manufacturing industries and
more important establishments. -We are
afterwards introduced to the chief towns and;
centres of industry of the neighborhood, in
cluding the principal iron manufactories,glass
works and the like. The later chapters, de
voted to the ‘Green Border-land’ which sur
rounds these centres of trade and commerce,
and includes within it the famous historical
names of Kenilworth and Coventry, of Lich
field and Stratford-on-Avon, will be found
the most interesting portion ©f the volume by
the general reader. An extract from the intro
ductory pages will afford a favorable specimen
of Mr. Burritt’s picturesque-style:
“ ‘The Black Country, black by day aud
red by night, cannot be matched for vast and
varied production by any other space of equal
radius on the surface of the globe. It is a
section of Titanic industry, kept in murky
perspiration by a sturdy set of 1 Tubal Cains
and Vulcans, week in, week out, and often
seven days-to the week. Indeed, the Sunday
evening halo it wears when the church bells
are ringing to service on winter nights, glo vs
“redder than the moon,” or like the
moon dissolved at its full on the clouds above
the roaring furnaces. It is a little dual
world of itself, only to be gauged perpen
dicularly. The better half, it may be, faces
the sun ; but the richer half, •- averted
thence, looks by gaslight towards the central
fires. If that subterranean half could be fur
an hour inverted to the sun; if its inky vaults
and tortuous pathways; and all its black
roofed chambers could be but once laid open
to the light of day, the spectacle would be a
world’s wonder, especially if it were unco
vered when all the thousands of the subterra
nean roadmakers, or the bBgrimmed armies
of pickmen were bendipg to their work.
What a neighing of the pit horses would
come up out of those deep coal-craters at the
sight and sense of the sunlight! What black
and dripping forests of timber would be dis
closed, brought from all the wild, wooded
lands of Norway, Sweden and Canada, to
prop up the rough vaults and sustain the ex
cavated acres undermined by the pick!’
* *. * ‘ ‘ ‘The Black Country is beauti
fully framed by a green borderland ; and that
border is rich and redolent with two beauti
ful wealths, the sweet life of nature’s happi
est springs and summers, and the hive and
romance of England’s happiest industries.
■Plant, in imagination, one foot of your com
pos at the Town Hail, in Birmingham, and
with the other sweep a circle of twenty-iniles
radius, and you will have “The Black Coun
try,” with all its industries, in a green velvet
-binding inwrought or tapestried with histori
cal scenes and early playgrounds of brilliant
imagination and poetical fiction. Just pass
the gauging-rod of mechanical enterprise
through the volume from Coventry to Kidder
minster, and see what specimens- of handi
craft it will bring out and show, like a string
of beads of infinite variety of tint
ing and texture. See what wares intervene
between the two opposite extremities—be
tween the ribbons of Coventry and the car
pets of Kidderminster; or between the salt
bars of Droitwich and the iron bars of Wol
verhampton. Then let the history-miner
run his rod through and see what gems he
will bring out between . Lichfield Cathedral
and Baxter’s Church at Kidderminster, or be
tween Stratford-on-Avoffflind Kenilworth or
Warwick Castle. Let him notice what man
ner of men have lived within this circuit, and
what manner of mark their lives and thoughts
made upon it and upon the wide circum
ference of the world, let him travel
from rim to rim of the district, and study its
physical conformation and its natural scene
ries, and he will recognize their symmetry
with the histories and industries with which
it teems.’ ”

The Newark Courier describes the pro
cess of drjdning the New Jersey salt
meadows: .. , t .
“About twenty or thirty feet from the
river s edge the base lines of the bank are
drawn to the required length, a distance of
twenty feet apart, and the ground between
thenl cleared. In the centre of this long rib
bon, as it were, iron plates, six feet long, are
forced into the sod to a depth of four feet,
leaving two above the surface. Each plate
is three feet wide, has a knii&like lower edge,
and is closely jointed with its neighbor on
either side, bo that when all are fixed a con
tinuous iron shield is formed, and the soil
disturbed no more than the- thrusting of a
saw would effect. This is the iron ‘core,' or
backbone of the bank. The heavy clay un
derlying the alluvium of the marsh is How
built np from the outer lines to a height of
six feet, smoothed and made compact.. Oyer
this a coating of the rich marsh soil is laid,
which serves as a bed for grass and creeping
plants, whose interlacing roots shall bind and
bold the whole together. . .
“Thus we have a solid impervious bank,
protected from the weather by vegetation,
.firm in the pyramidal form given it, higher
than the highest tides, and impenetrable by
the most industrious of borers. The only
danger which threatens it arises from the
rusting or oxidation of the iron plates, and
this as far as possible has been provided for.
Every refinement which iron receives in the
furnace deprives it of some properties which
the crude ore possessed when it first came
from the earth. Oxidation is the process by
•which these are regained; and the greater the
loss of original properties, the greater the
tendency of the iron to regain them. The
fine&t steel is the readiest rusted. To pre
vent this tendency to oxidation the iron for
the plates has been submitted to one smelting
only, and is thuß but one degree removed
from the crude metal, which does not rust at
all. But some properties have been lost, and
oxidation will undoubtedly take place, yet so
slowly, owing to the iron being buried in its
mother earth, and-to the above reason, that
by the time the plates are useless there will
be no use for them. Stone walls, wharfs and
piers will have taken the place of earthen
banks.
“Having thus- kept the water out,'that
■within has to be dealt with. Three feet-from
the base of the bank on the land side, a wide
-ditch is cut to the depth of six feet, lower by
two than low water mark. Into this water
■way smaller ditches open, which cross and
intersect each other, at the distance of a few
Tods, over the whole surface of the marsh,
from every square foot of the ground the sur
face water drains into these, Irom Y the dead
furrows left in ploughing and by force ot
•gravity falls into the deeper channel prepared
for it There being five feet ot water in
this with low water mark where it is,four feet
of water can be run off with each recession
of the tide. For this purpose it is usual on
•other lands to employ flood gateß, opening
and closing by the action of the ebb and flow,
but the objection to these is that the tide
must come halfway up before it can close
them, and thU3 daily return a large portion of y
, the salt water. To avoid this On the Hack
ensack marshes,screw sluices are raised when
the tide has gone out,and closed immediately
the turn takes place, thus when once the salt
water has left the ditch,not one drop can find
its way to a return. ,
“There still however, two feet of
fluid to account*for, and this is thrown out by
pumping engines. At East ‘Newark, the
western terminus of the dyke, there is a mon
ster of this Species, discharging fifteen thou
sand gallons a minute, but as it would be too
expensive to keep thlß constantly at work,
.recourse is had to the Dutch system of wind
mills, and six of; these machines, now con
structing; Will be . placed along the embank
ment after the work, is entirely completed.
Thus as long as the wind blows .the pumping
will go on, till the marsh becomes hot a pas
ture field, nor a market garden,but a populous
mid busy city. v
“The embankment commences on the
mortfc side of the New Jersey Railroad bridge,
proceeds along the margin of the river to Saw
1 Mill creek, follows the course of this South
westerly, to Frank Creek at Schuyler’s Cor
ner, and ehds'at East Newark. It has a total
length of ten and a quarter miles, with river
face of six and a half miles, and an inland
course of three and three-quarter miles.. It
•encloses an area of nearly five thousand acres,
ground fit for pasturage, for farm cultiva-
tion, for market gardens and.for building
purposes." ■ 'l
Aceommodntlnsr Judge. .
The following'.story—only the concluding
portionof told of-Judge
j —, of Jackson, Texas, and John Rolph,
a backwoodsman. .Rolph, a toll hunter,
dressed in deerskin, and armed with revolver,
rifle and bowie knife, visits Jackson, calls on
the Judge at bis residence (with the narrator),
and thus relieves bis mind:
“You pee, Judge, early day before yester
day morning I started for thu place, and, as
I wouldn’t chisel, I went without eating all
day. I slept in the woods, and yesterday
morning I got up as hungry as a panther; and
as I walked along, thinks I, what am I to do?
I never see game so scarce—there wasn’t' so
much as a squirrel to be seen. I’m above
cheating any man out of his. dinner, blit I
felt that a dinner I must have. Just tbeu a
fellow coines riding along tbe rood. I talked
to him, and tried to borrow, swearing to pay
at any place he might name iu a week, but
the critter told me he paid his way out of his
own pocket, and he’d too little to divide.”
“Bfow much have.you got?” says L’
“Two fifty," says he. '
“Now. thinks I, that is too little to divide.
80, while he was looking the other way I
shoots him through the head, and give him as
decent a burial as I could, under aa old log,
and took the two dollars and a half. But it
won’t do; my conscience misgives me. I’m
sorry for it,and wish the fellow had his money
back, if he could be alive. Between’you and
me, as it is too late for that, I think I ought
to be hung." ,
The Judge called his little black boy, or
dered three papers of tobacco,and we smoked
in silence. 1
“ Then' you really think you ought to be
hung?” he said, with compassion, as he
wbilfed a cloud of smoke toward the ceil
ing.
“ I do, in fact,” answered Rolph, emitting
a similar volume of vapor.
The Judge smoked away, and considered
again. ,
“ Well, we’ll try to hang you,” he added.
There wbb, an expression of gratitude in
Rolph’s eye, os he replied:
“Thank you. That will ease my con
science.” ......
The Judge again knocked the ashes from
his pipe, and spoke; ;
.“Well, come here in half an hoar.. I'll try
to get a jury.”
Kolph and myself, laying our pipes on the
table, were about leaving, when the Judge
asked us to .take a drink, which haying done,
we hade him good morning. ■ >- ’
At the expiration of naif an hour, we
returned, when we found twelve men drink
ing and sihoking with the magistrate, await
ing us.
We were politely requested to sit down.
“Now,” 6aid the judge, addressing himself
to Rolph, “tell these gentlemen what you have
already told me."
Whereupon Rolpb repeated the statement
he had before made.
“Now, gentlemen," continued the first
speaker, “I wish to say, if this gentleman
—Mr. Rolph your name is, eh ? well, there's
some fine old brandy; make yourselves per
fectly at home—whether, gentlemen, you
find John Rolph guilty or not guilty of mur
der, In addition to what he said, I will ob
serve - for your information, that I sent out
and found the body just where he stated it to
be.”
The jury smoked, rose up, took- brandy
and water, and then sat down again and
smoked in silence foreome time. At last
one of them, who appeared to be the foreman,
said:*.!
“The case is tolerably clear,and werather
think he’s guilty.”
, “There's more tobacco oh the ; fable,’-’ said
the Judge, “the best you can find any where.
Ton have heard what these gentlemen have
said, Rolph? Well,” he continued, a, little
uneasily, “I don’t like to’tell you in my Own
house, but —”, -
“Let that be no hindrance,” said Rolph,
filling his pipe. -■'*
“Well, then,” continued the Judge, “come
here at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning and
I'll have you hung.”
Rolph looked disconcerted' and appeared
mortified at the idea of asking a favor.
“You —you have been so kind to me,” said
he, hesitatingly, “that 1 hardly like to ask for
anything more.”
“Not at all,” replied the Judge. “Out
with it; you are welcome to it before you
ask."
“Well,” said Rolph, “I wish—to-morrow
is my ague day, and the shakes come on at
ten —would you be so good as to hang me at
nine?”
“With the greatest of pleasure," answered
the good-hearted Judge,shaking Rolph by the
hand. “Nine it shall be.”
Accordingly John Rolph went to the inn,
paid his bill, and the next morning was hung
as the clock struck nine.
The Abyssinian Treasures.
Tbat man’s time must be of little value
being attracted to South Ken
sington yesterday by the promised display of
Abysßinan treasures, did not experience a
"slight sense of disappointment when they
were unveiled. The title is a misnomer, apd
the exhibition a farce. The things shown
are well enough as trophies taken from a
barbarous enemy, but it is an error in judg
ment to suppose they are worth a special
pilgrimage to South Kensington to see. The
word treasure has an imposing sound, and
suggests Oriental magnificence and . barbaric
splendor. It would also be appropriate to
the cellarß of the Bank of England, or
the raw material of the mint. But
the visitors at South Kensington
yesterday were loud in their pro
tests against its misapplication there, and it
is perhaps wiser to explain at once of what
the Abyssinian treasures consist. They are
all contained in a glass case of the size and
B bape of a large Punch and Judy Bhow. This,
stands in the centre of the north room of the
museum,and was enclosedyesterday bya can
vas screen, behind which’only the representa
tives of the press were admitted until a speci
fied hour had passed. Then the canvas was
removed by the officials, and the waiting and
eagerly expectant crowd was permitted to
feast their eyes on a couple of robes worn by
the .-King, some silver seals, 'arid
a large and handsome one of gilt
metal and pebbles, engraved by . Messrs.
Strongi’th’arm; a crown of crimson velvet
and metal, and another of cloth and silver;
what looked- like a greasy: tobacco : pouch,
and a pair of slippers lately worn by Abys
sinia’s Queen. This was absolutely all, and
there .was something ludicrous in the disap
pointment expressed by the public. It is
difficult to say exactly what was expected;
but it was obvious that the late King Theo
dore fell rapidly in the estimation of those
present When the extent and character of the
treasures .captured "from, him were under
stood. One of the robes,is of the golden and
flowered brocade we are accustomed
to see in old pictures and at burlesques
or -masquerades. It seems quite new,,
and the coarse yellow thread of its “tacking”
has never been removed.. The other is of
blue silk, arid is covered with a variety of
small steel ornaments, fashioned in the shape
of instruments of war, and with what looks
like the model of a helmet with a centre spike
r decorating its middle. It', is armless, and
without opening |n back or front, so that his

-Majesty must have put it on by the’simple
process of thrusting his head through the hole
made for the purpose.- The St tv- seal, of
English manufacture, is the hands mesit arti
cle in the case, is large and masslv i, with a
handle of parti-colorea agate,and a rude hon,.
with an inscription round It engraved on its 4
impressing part, 'f he slippers are o' silver gi t
filagree work, and are moderately ornate, but
the whole ot the articles are oi small, intrin
sic value, and are interesting only from their
late ownership, and the circumstances under
which they appear. The cloth' cap seems to
be an ordinary crimson fez ornamented with
metal, and is very like the one worn by
Theodore in the conventional portraits in the
shop windows. The blue robe is of the
child’s pinafore shapewe have oeen accus
tomed to in Pizarro, and -heroic-dramas of
its class. It bus seen service, and it needs
but a slight effort of the fancy to. realize the
bare, dusky arms protruding from i', as its
warrior wearer led on bi 3 troop 3 _to battle.
But viewed in the light pf an exhibition, a 3
those present evidently regarded them yes
terday, the Abyssinian treasures are p >or.
They recall the beads and shells of a more art
less savage than the’ barbarian with whom
we have waged war. They -give, however,
a curious insight into the sort of state . kept
up by Theodore, and show, almost painfully,
its hollownesß and pretence. —London

Toepedo Mill Explosion at Reno, Pa.
—About 10 o’clock yesterday morning the
citizens living,in and near Reno were startled
and alarmed by a most frightful explosion,
that shook the earth in the vicinity with so
much force as to threaten the destruction of
the houses in the town. There was a general
rush to the windows, doors, and to the
Btreets, and on looking toward the railroad
depot the citizens beheld a cloud of dust and
smoke arising from the spot where just a
moment previously had stood a building
which was used as a manufactory for the
Reed torpedo. In a few moments a crowd
of persons colledted near the scene of the
disaster. The building in which the
manufactory was located was blown to
atoms, , and scarcely a vestige of it re
mained. Ilr. F. T., Munson, the agent of
the Reed Company, was the only person in
the building at the time of the explosion.
His body was found lifeless and shockingly
mutilated, at about three himdred feet dis
tant. Two other buildings in the vicinity
were partially demolished. One of these was
occupied by Mr.. Munson’s .family, but fortu
nately none of them were injured. The frag
ments of the building that contained' the
manufactory were blown in every direction,
and one of them entered a window of Mr. C.
V. Culver’s residence, striking and slightly
injuring Miss Culver.
There were about one thousand five hun
dred pounds of powder of differed; varieties
in the manufactory just before the explosion,
besides ten or fifteen loaded torpedoes. The
cause of the explosion is shrouded in mys
tery—Titusville_Nerald2_Jjdyii‘_ mm _ mm
FRENCH MEDICINES
SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF IKON,
By Leraa, M. D., Docteur, es Science, Grlmault h Co.,
Cheiuuta, Paris.
According to the opinion of tho members of the Paris
Academy of Medicine, this article la superior to all the
ferruginous preparations known. It agree* neat with the
stomach, never causes costiveness; it contains the ele
mci th of the blood and the osseous frame, and succeeds
where other preparations fail, such os Vallet’s pills, iron
reduced by. hydrogen, lactate of irop, and ferruginous
mineial water. One tablespoonful of the solution or syrup
contains three grains of salt of iron. They ore both
colorless.
children's Diseases—lodized Syrup of
This syrup contains lodine combined with the juice of
watercress, boree-radi*h and scurvy-grass, in which
iodine and eulphur exitt naturally, and for this reason it
is an excellent substitute for cod liver oil, which is gene
rally eupi'osed to owe it* efficacy to the presence of iodine.
Ibelodized Syrup of Boreeradiah invariably produces
ffiost satisfactory results administered to children suffer
ing from lymphatism. rachitism, congestion of the glands
of the neck, or the various eruptions on the face so fre
quent during infancy. It is also the be*t remedy for the
hret stage of Consumption. Being at once tonic and do
purative, it excites the appetite, promotes digestion, and
ret tores to the tissues their natural hrmneas and vigor.
Dr. Durin Du Duisson’s Digestive Lo
zenges of tbei Alkaline Lactates*
The Alkaline Lactates exercise the most beneficial in
fluence over the derangements of digestion, eituer by
their peculiar action on the muenoua membrane of the
stomach, or by affording to the latter through their com
bination with the saliva to the gastric mice a supply of
lactic acid, which all English, French and other physiolo
gists-admit to be an essential principle of digestion. For
the information ef those who may be without medical
advice, it may be stated hero that the symptoms Of im
paired digestion are: Headache, pain in the forehead,
heniicronia, gastritis, gastialgia, heartburn, wind in tho
stomach and bowels* loss of appetite, emaciation, &c.
A syrup compounded with this now salt has been intro
duced by Dr. Churchill, for the treatment of pulmonary
phthisis. Recent trials made at the Bromnton Consmnp
tii n Hospital, an institution especially devoted to the
treatment of diseases of the chest, have abundantly de
monstrated the absolute necessity of obtaining, this new
therapeutic agent in tho most perfectly pure and natural
condition. Each table spoonful of syrup contains four
grains of perfectly pure hypophosphite of lime; and as
compounded by MM Grimault&Co , of Paris, the syrup
is the only preparation which guarantees fo tho medical
profession ail the properties required in this valuable
medicine.
DIARRHOEA, DERANGEMENTS OF THE
This natural vegetable production, perfectly innocuous,
has been long used in Brazil with the utmost success, as a
remedy for diarrhoea, sick headache, dysentery, and all
disoroers proceeding from derangement of tho stomach
o- bowels. This powder is indispensable for all families,
and far n oro efficacious than opium and the submtrato
Qf bismuth. ‘ _
