"No, ir!" answered his Honor; "if jou have anything to say speak nut boldly aud let your clarion tones bo heard all over the room."

Thomas Mcllay, charged with druukeuness, insisted that he wasn't ready for trial. Ho said he wanted his boots blacked, his hair cuuibed and a new paper collar on before he would a linear to defend his case. , Aud he wanted Mrs. Mcllay there to swear that he wouldn't drink a drop of whis ky for any man's house and lot, and one of his neighbors then to swear that the very eight of Liger made, him go into convulsions.

"And then," answered the Court, as he made some marks on a paper, "and theu Thomas Mcllay was sent up tor sixty days. The Legislature of North Carolina has passed an act which provides "that any persou who manufactures, sells or deals in spirituous liquors as a drink, conuiuitig ingredients poisonous to the system, shall bo punished with five years' imprisonment in the penitentia ry."

She asked Congress to set aside the action of the Court in imposing tv pctmlty fur her violation of the law, but the Senate begged to be excused.

If she held the ucliuii ol tho Court wrung she should tick the lVesideut for a par dun. A FKARFI'I. KITTATION. There arrived in the city Friday morning, over the Grand Trunk Rail way, a man named Patrick McArthur, who met with a thrilling adverture about six miles east of tho Junction Thursday night. II is a laboring man, and having uo money and fail ing to get a chance to work his pas sago down from Port Huron on a boat, he started to walk down on the rail road track, aud had nearly completed his journey when the adventure befel him. He laid by during (he heat of the day, Wednesday, and was walking in tho evening to make it up. 'While crossing the track where a switch leads dowaIoiigside tho main track, he got his foot caught in the "frog," and all cUurls to extricate himself were of no avail. Ho had on a stout boot, and it fitted so closely over the instep that lie could not draw his foot out. In fact tbo boot was wedged iu the "frog" so closely that tho man's toes were sevcrily pinched. lie pulled this way and Uut, wep.cb.eJ and twutcd ; but the "frog" held the foot like a vice. At length he could hardly move his foot for the puin, and he found' he must either be ruu over by. the next passing train or make some one under stand his situation. ' He shouted him self hoarse, but no one came. The nearest house was half a mile away, and if the farmer heard tho wild calls for help ho -gave them no attention. After the mau had bceu a prisoner for upwards of an hour, ho heard the whistle of a down freight train. It was yet a long way on" and he had a little time to .think. He had a match box in his pocket, papers in his bun dle and the idea came to him to sig nal the train. Tearing the paper oiF his bundle, and getting at a number of letters, he rolled them into a her.p, aud for fear that the flames would die out too sudden! v, ho added two flan nel shirt from tlie bundle Tho bun dle was then made fast to tho end of his walking stick, matches produced, aud he waited until the headlight of the locomotive should appear up the track. It hardly greeted his vision, looking like a bright white star, as it glistened afar up the track. The rum ble of the traiu grew loudor, the star grow larger and brighter. Ho etruck his match. The flame blazed - up brightly, but as he meved it toward the hurdle a little gust of wind blew it out. W? there time yet? Up the track he couid hear the thunder of a hundred heavy wheels, and the great light of the locomotive glared at him like the tiery eye of fcO'uu wild beast. Another match, and instant of fear and doubt, and then tho paper lila.ed up and- the flames curled over and swayed right and left with the night wiud. He waved the signal of fire back and forth, and just when he was ready to believe that death under the wheels was certain ; ho. heard the whistle for brakes. He could hear the wheels grinding and groaning, the hiss of steam as the engineer threw back his lever, and then tho heavy train rame to a stop "with the great light shining down upon him paling his dying sigual. He was saved, but the engine had only thirty ftet more fo go to crush hira. The fireman came forward, got a crow-bar and released him, and he was taken back to tho caboose. The train men were yery kind to him, aud yesterday he found acquaintances here who arranged for his board until he will bo able to work. His foot is badly swelled and very tender, aud it will be several davs be fore he will be able to walk. betroit Free iVw. The etherial blue color of the sky is due to minute particles of matter which float in the air. . Were these particles removed, the appearance of the sky would be dead black. It is a fact in optics that exceedingly fine proportions of matter disperse or scat ter the blue light, coarser proportions scatter all the rays, making white light. The atmosphere is full of aqueous va por, tho particles of which diffuse white light in all directions. When these particles ore enlarging they become vis ible in the form of clouds. Tbe va por particles of the white clouds are supposed to be finer and lighter than thosu of the dark clouds. The d illu sion of light in our atmosphere, the blue sky and the colors of the clouds, are due to the presence of matter float ing in tho air, has been conclusively proven by Tyudall. Ou passing a beam of sunlight through a glass tube the beam id rendered brilliantly visi ble by the rcflectiou of light from the dust particles floating in the air con tained in the tube. But ou removing the dust particles, which is done by filtering tho air by cotton, wool, or causing the air to pass over a flamo, the beam of light is not longer visible iu the tube.

I hardly tkink, upon the wholc.that I am in favor of cremation. The pro cess seems to mo to be so frightfully wasteful. 'At the same time, I am ready to admit that tho dead might be used much more profitably than they are now. If a man must be buried let him be planted where he will make something grow. I remember that Casselbee)', of Vineland, N. J., once laid his grandmother under bis grape vine, and iiy carefully watering her twice a day, he secured a crop of fif teen bushels of Black Hamburg. The subject came up in the agricultural so ciety subsequently, and there was a question whether a grandmother was the only ietuale relative that could be efficaciously '" -used, and whether it should be a paternal or a maternal grandmothefT Casselbcny' explained that he had known a maiden aunt or a second cousin to do equally as well, and ho had his stepfather among the loots ot his mammoth gooseberry bush, with every prospect of a superb crop. V ery particular inquiries were made by several members concerning the availability of molhers-in-larr in improving the asparagus . bed ; ho took the firtt 'prize for asparagus at eighty county fairs. The meeting sud denly adjourned, and fifteen mothers- in-law m vineland died during the succeeding week. And thuu there is no skeleton. The Esquimaux make skates out of the collarbones of their departed friends, and I remember that Hufnagle, of Mauch Chunk, having lost his leg by a railroad accident, took out the bone and had it made into a clarionet with which he used to go round serenading a woman whp refused to love him. lie always played in a minor key, and they say up at Mauch Chunk that ho whistled the most heartrending music out of that bone. When old Mackin tosh of Darby, died, his widow had his framework taken out, and. she worked the whole of it up into knife handles and troifser buttons,' which she gave to her second husband when they were married. The hottest kind of water never hurt those koife-hnn-dles, and the suspenders that wouldn't slay buttoned on those, buttons wero admitted to be just no suspuuders at all. But I admit that there is some thing disagreeable about this form of utilization, aud thereloro 1 rather n cline to favor the plan of turning :u animate remains into illuminating gas by consuming them iu a retort. This, I understand, is practicable, and it would be, I should think, inexprcssi bly consoling to a mau to Bit and read the paper comfortably every evening by the light of his deceased uncle, and to have the satifaction of knowing that the said' relative had not been run through a metre at so much a thousand feet. It would be beautiful to illuminate the parlor with a depart ed hired girl, or to turn off your half brother before going to bed. And think what splendid gas a Congress man would make. We might have a law appropriating dead Congressmen to the Light House Board, for use on the coast. ' This class of persons then would have the consolation of know ing that they would be much more useful after death thau they are dur ing life. . MEltUY MYTIIOLOUr,' Tho melodies played upon Tan's pipes aro said to have been of rather a satyrical character. The great toe of the ancient gods was Pluto.

At the inquest held by the coroner upon the body of one pf the victims of the Mill River accident, in Massa chusetts, Collins Graves appeared as a, witness. He proved to ho a young man probably under thirty, with a well knit figure, of medium height, a quiet, strong, honest face, and a de tneanor that was even shy. He was going his round in his buggy peddling milk, when he noticed Cheney ride in to Belcher's stable yard with such an anxious look on his faco that he rode iu after him to find what the matter was. He said to Cheney : "George what's the matter?" Cheney replied : "The reservoir is giving away." "Do yctt mean it?" said Graves. "Yes," replied Cheney, "I do." Theu Graves said, "Well, if that's so, somebody's got to let them know it. You, George, warn the folks here, and I will drive down the river," and with the word he started. . He gave the first alarm at Mr. Junes' woolen mill, telling Tom Bra- 2ii inat me reservoir nau uroaen away aud he must alarm the hands and hunt up Mr. Birmingham and warn him. Then he drove to Skinnerville, and met Mf. Skinner, aud told him. He cried aloud as he passed every house, but met no person on tbe road between Williamsburg aud Skinnerville. Met Nash Hubkard at the door of the silk factory, and called out: "The reser voir has given away and is right here. All you con do is to get away. lie also met Geo.. F. Smith, and told him. Thaddeus Barlett, Kaplinger and a boy were told the same news in a breath. All this, while he had not seen or heard the flood. Ou he went. At Hayden Tere's office he left tho same word as at Skinner's. He drove on to Hart's barber shop, and thence to Deacon Llam Grave s store, when he turned back. ' He first taw the flood when he got Into the dugaway above the brass works, bearing down upon him; and again turning down the river, he drove this time to the ho tel and told Loomis, the landlord,whq then got his horses out of the barn, and had hardly done it when the dam was gone. Mr. Graves was here quehr tiotied as to his meeting any person on the way, ana said be met uo pup all the way to Havdenvillo, but met Jerome Ililjraan on horseback,- com ing from Skinnerville, just as he en tered the dugaway to go thither'; that he caught sight of Hillman, and the great wave at the same time, and heard hira call out: "Turn around thereher voir is right here;" he escape the flood by driving up over tbe railroad track by the church, and saw the bouses and shops go down. When he once more reached Capt. Ivingley's near the dug? away, everything had been swent away, the time being he should think, some six or eight minutes. He gave tho alarm all along his way, but no could not tell whether ail the people heard him. The general alarm at Skinner vill was given by ringing the factory bell, which struck us he started away. When the daring and ambitious soldier, Napoleon Bonaparte, was about to invade Russia, a persou who had endeavored to dissuade him from his purpose, finding he oould not prevail, quoted to him the proverb, "Man pro poses, but Cjd dispose?," to which he indignantly replied, "I dispose as. well as propose." A christian woman on heariug the impious boast remarked, "I set that down as tho turning point of Bonaparte's fortunes. God will not suffer a creature with impunity thus to usurp his prerogative." It happeued to Bonaparte, juBt as was predicted. His invasion of Russia was tho commencement of his down fall. During the state of soige at Madrid the captain general of police directed that ni shooting of guns or pistols should take place at any of the meiro nolitan theatres. "If shooting is strict ly necessary duriug the performance," lie said, "let tho actor step in front of the stage, and in order to satisfy tho audience, he may shout, 'Bung t bang! or Boom ! boom !"' The largest locomotive in the world is the "Pennsylvania," on the Phila delphia and Reading railroad. .
