Insiancps Uocallcil.
It is a common error, said it lawyer to
ft reporter for tin: Jeruld, to suppose
tint circumstantial eriilencc is of an in
ferior niulity to direct evidence. This
falhicy is nuich insisted upon in criniinnl
(kfrnsL's, and there are innumerable cases
in tl.e book which apparently sustain
the idea. Vet the idea is wroncr, a' n
very slight consideration of the nature of
the testimony will show. Indirect proofs
of crimo have been far more convincim;
in f nnc cases than diret t proof in
others.
Take the case of Professor Webster in
5 iston thirty-six years ao, tried for the
murder of J)r. I'arkman. Webster was
n urofcsor in the medical departing nt l
Harvard University, and whs indelited
to I'arkman, who was a Shylock and a
mofit persistent and annoying creditor.
V,e!sti'r was extravagant and lived be
yond his means, lie could not pay, but
he made an appointment for I'arkm.in to
c;Ul at his roo:ns in the college. The
latter wa seen poinar, to the college, but
was never seen alive afterward. A week
Inter there was found in the furnace con
nected with the prisoner's laboratory in
the college fused with the sla and cin
ders a great number of human bones, n
block of mineral teeth and a small quan
tity of melted gold. Other bones were
discovered in a vault under the prisoner's
rooms, and the entire trunk of a human
body was found in a tea-chest, imbeddpd
in a quantity of tea which bad belonged
to Webster. These different parts, when
put together by anatomists, went to make
up the body of a person of Dr. Parkman's
ago, sixty years, and the form of the re
constructed body had the peculiarities
shown to bo possessed by him. Jvo
duplicate bones were found, over and
above what was necessary to compose
one body. The remains were further
shown to have been separated by a por
;son possessed of anatomical skill, but not
for anatomical purposes. Three dentists
testified to the mineral teeth as being
made for Dr. Purkman, and that the
amount of gold found was about the
quantity used in a plate. Webster made
solemn assertion of his innocence, state !
that Parkman had called and that he had
paid him und he had cone awav. But
the jury convicted him, and he wa sen
tenced to bu hanged. On the eve of his
execution he confessed his crime.
In another case of a murder by a pis
tol shot it was proved that the wadding
of the pistol found in the wound was a
portion of a letter belonging to tlio per
son accused, of which tho other part was
found in his pocket, and that some prop
erty of the murdered person was found
on the prisoner, lliese circumstances
clearly proved and unexplained are just
f .1 i . . . . ! e
as convincing as mc uireci luswmuiiy 01
a person who saw the murder.
There are instances where accusin g cir
cumstances envelope an innocent man,
and plenty of cases occur where testi
mony has been fabricated, both direct
and indirect, to convict tho innocent.
The administration of justice is not per
fect, and the occasional condemnation of
the innocent is an evil that will happen
under all systems. Uut by the safe'
guards thrown about a prisoner wo have
reduced the chances of such an event to
the minimum. Lord Brougham was once
asked if circumstances could lie. "Yes,"
nc replied, "it tJw witnesses lie."
A young man was accused of a crime,
Three wituesses swore positively that
they saw him commit it at a particular
place and time, lie did not cross-examine
them, and ho introduced no wit
nesses, lie asked the Judge to turn to
the court's record of tho day on which
the alleged crime was committed. The
record showed that on that day tho
prisoner was being tried for another
crime concerning which he had proven
an alibi. He was acquitted. That was
a case where one circumstance, tho fact
of hi presence in court, overturned the
. ciroct testimony of three witnesses.
There is a grim old story told in the
ancient law books of 11 murder commit
ted at an inn. Three guests were enter
wined one wintry night. Two were
friends traveling together; the other was
an elderly gentleman of wealth, accom
panicd by his servant. The two friend
occupied one room, and the other gen
tleinan an adjoining room. In tho nigh
tue two menus were aroused by groans
in tho adjoining chamber. Striking a
light and hastening to the ro' mthcy saw
the landlord standing by tho bedside
with a bloody knife iu his hand, and on
the bed lay tho elderly gentleman leu
with a wound in his throat. 'lhe land
lord was arrested for the murder. lie
declared his innocence, and said that he
h id heard groans, and, fearing robbers
he had armed himself with a knife, und
had just reached the room when tho two
gentlemen entered. 1 lis assertions proved
of no avail, and he was finally convicted
of lhe murder ami executed. Prior to
his execution he asserted his innocence,
but said that he had gone to th room fo
tlio purpose of committing? the murdc

On the eastern coast of tho Caspian
Sea a curious phenomenon is in progress.
The Kaia Bogha. is an estuary nearly
separated from the main body of the sea
v a bank through which there is an
ulet. The evaporation from this gulf is
so great that a current continually sets in
.oin the t aspian: and as there is no re-
urn current the water of the gulf becomes
more and more saliferous, and a deposit
f t-alt is in course of formation. In time
this gulf will be cut off from the Cas

The sea is the tomb of moulds and of
all aerial germs. Near continents the
land-winds always drive before them an
atmosphere laden with microscopic life,
but at lifty or eventy-tive miles lrom the
coasts this impurity has disappeared, ac
cording to M. M. Jlorcau and Miqucl.
Pestilential atmospheres are rapidly puri
fied by the sea, every expanse of water
of a certain breadth thus forming art im
passable obstacle to the spread of epi
demics, bea winds sensibly cleanse tne
air of the land over which they pass, this
purification being recognized in France
as far as Paris.
It is well understood that Great Britain
and other parts of northern Europe owe
mucti to tne warming influence ot the
LJulf Stream. The extent of the effect
has been given in the calculations of Dr.
James Croll, who has found that the
amount of ho it conveyed northward in
the Atlantic by this stream is equiva
lent to 77,470,5"i0,O!)0,O0O,OOO,O0O foot
pounds of energy per eiay, which is equal
to all the heat received by I,5ii0,ti:i5
square miles at the equator, and more
heat than is conveyed by all the air cur
rents. The heat of the Arctic seas and
North Atlantic would be diminished that
much by the stoppage or diversion of the
great ocean river.
A Marvelous Escape.
A curious adventure, as well as a mar
velous escape, was that of Mr. Gerald
McCarthy, of this city, who was recently
carried to the bottom of the Atlantic in
the hold of a capsicd vessel. Mr. Mc
Carthy, who is a member of the senior
class at the Deaf Mute College at Ken
dall Green, and who has already attained
a considerable reputation and standing
as a botanist, has been collecting plants
on the pine barrens and banks of North
Carolina. Wishing to visit Roanoke
Island in order to carry on his work
there, ho recently took passage in a
schooner thither bound.
The schooner, a small vessel in the ser
vice of a picnic party from Roanoke, was
to have sailed homeward nt 7 o'clock in
the evening, but it was 11 before the
crew came ou board, when they appeared
to be highly intoxicated. They set sail
in the teeth of a JIatteras storm, and
when well out from land they began to
quarrel over the contents of a jug they
had brought with them. Meanwhile the
vessel was struck by a gust from the
cape, and, from want of proper manage
ment, capsized completely, and tank to
the bottom when about two miles oil
the coast. Ir W119 ubout midnight, and
thi cabin having been given up to the
gay party, Mr. McCarthy had gone down
into the hold for shelter, lie was doz
ing there on a box, and, being deaf, was
not aware of any disaster until he sud
denly found himself pitched headlong to
tho opposite side of the hold. Instantly
compretiending the situation, ho jumped
for the hatchway and succeeded in grasp
ing tho casing, but was torn away by the
inrushing torrent and carried to" the
depth of tho hold, where ho was bunged
against the side of the vessel with such
force as to nearly dislocate his shoulder.
Thanks to h'u familiarity with water,
being a man of teiii eriuiee principles and
an expert swimmer, ho realized the fu
tility of attempting to e-cape before the
stoppage of the current, and so remain
ing quiet where he had been dashed, he
caiefully husbindid the little air in his
lungs until he judged the inrush of w.der
had ceased. By this time he was r.ear.y
st i angled, but with no little presence of
mind ho gioped his way to the hatch
way, and, diving through, rose to the
suifacj none too soon to cat;h tho air.
.Many of the party were drowned. After
swimiiiin',' about and clinging to the
wreckage for half nil 1 our, ho was picked
up in a siiiaU boat and taken to Ko.ii.oke
Island, where he was hospitably enter
tained. Washiit'j'on Slur, i

In olden times bells were supposed to
have certain supernatural powers. They

their holy sounds the souls of the dead

they tried to melt one of the local church

land." It goes on to command that
common laborers and servants and their
wives are never to wear clothes costing
more than two shillings a yard; nor were
they to wear girdles of silver. Another
law was passed forbidding wives to get
their veils and handerchiefs too line.

He-Warmed Dinheo.
Cold meats and fish, in the opinion oi
many people, may be made more accept
able on their second appearance upon tin
table than when first served, but the cost
of properly preparing palatable dishes
from such material is a great one, and
constitutes one of tho chief excellences
of French cooking. The cook should
know that dark meats and game should
always be warmed with brown gravy,
and that fKh, poultry and white meats
require white sauces. All warmed-over
dishes should bo quickly cooked and
promptly served. Meats are best re
warmed as croquettes, patties, salmis,
curries, hash, scollops and fricasscs.
Game and poultry can bo re-warmed in
auy of the above ways, and are especially
flciptable hi-hly seasoned and broiled.
Vegetables may also bo made a second
time by re-warming in gravy, frying in
butter or minced with meat. Cold pud
ding may be sliced, dipped in beaten
ccrg, fried and sprinkled with sugar.
Cold rice, oatmeal or hominy may be re
dressed in many ways, as can many other

The Scalp of a Finger.

fact concerning the surgery ot' the lingers.
A man, while passing over a gate, lost the

around one of them having got cauglr
between tho gate and an irm bar, hh,
the weight of tho man while jumping
having forcibly dragged the finei

ger remained an entire hour on the gate.
Dr. Thomas secured both, and intro
duced the scalped finger into its normal
envelope. Although the whole skin did
not adhere a good part of it was restored
to life; and it is possible that, if the op

Can t sumption be Cured.
We have so often seen fatal results follow
the declaration that It can bs cured, that we
have unconsciously settled down In the belief
that this disease must necessarily prove fatal.
It Is true that occasionally a community has
witnessed an isolated case of what may ap
propriately be termed spontaneous recovery,
but to what combination of favorable clrcum
ftances this result was due none have hitherto
been found able to determine.
We have now the gratifying fact to announce
that the process by which nature affects this
wonderful change Is no longer a mystery to
the medical profession, and that the changes
brought about In the system under favorable
circumstances by lntrlnsio causes may be
made as certainly and more expeditiously by !
the use of the proper remedy. In other words,
nature Is Imitated and assisted.
Tuberculous matter Is nothing more or less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.
Kow, if we can procure the organization of
this food material so that through the process
of elective adlnity it may take its place in the
system, we can cure the disease. This is Just
what Piso's Cure for Consumption does. It ar
rests at once the progress of the disease by
preventing the further supply of tuberculous
mater,for while the system is under lis influ
ence all nourishment is organized and assimi
laied. It thus controls couch, expectoration,
niKht-sweats, hectic fever, and all other char
acteristic symptoms of Consumption.
Many physicians are now using this medi
cine, and all write that it comes fully up to its
recommendations and makes Consumption one
of the diseases they can readily cure.
The forming tage of a disease is always the
most auspicious for treatment. This fact
should induce persons to resort to the use of
Piso's Cure when the cough is first noticed,
whether it has a consumptive diathesis for its
cause or not, for this remedy cures all kindsof
coughs with unequaled facility and prompt
ness. In coughs from a simple cold, two or
three doses of the medicine have been found
sufficient to remove the trouble. So in all dis
eases of the throat and lungs, with symptoms
simulating those of Consumption, Piso's Cure
is tho only infallible remedy.
The following letter recommending Piso's
Cure for Consumption, is a fair sample of the
