S., Mechanicsburg, Ohio, writes to the New York IHmes : To cure scab in sheep, make a decoction of four ponnds of tobacco stems or coarse plug tobacco in five gallons of boiling water. The tobacco should not be boiled, but steeped only in the boiling water until it is cool, that its volatile properties, which are most effective, may not be dis sipated. The strained liquid is then brought to nearly boiling heat, and one pound of flowers of sulphur is mixed with it. If the whole is affected, a suffi cient quantity of the mixture should be made to enable the sheep to be. dipped in it bodily. If not, the liquid, brought /-v* 1 OA if a ucau ui xau ucg.) oxiuuiu uo puiuciu upon the scabs and the surrounding skin from a spouted can, and rubbed in with the hands or a cloth until the scabs are broken up and removed. The raw surface is then soaked thoroughly with the solution, and then dressed with an ointment of raw linseed oil, pine-tar and sulphur, rubbed up together smoothly. The whole of the sheep should be gone over carefully in this way every week, and every new red spot that appears up on the skin treated with the tobacco so lution, followed by the oil mixture. The buildings and yard fences where the sheep have been kept, and the plaoes against which they have rubbed them selves, should be washed with hot lime wash. The scab is a parasitic disease similar to the itch in mankind, and caused by an insect which burrows in the skin. The insect must be killed be fore a cure can be effected. T A Time for Care. Serious daDger lies in the unhealthful ness of an unusually mild winter, with its dampness and sudden changes of temperature. This will undoubtedly be felt both by man and beast. The health of the farmer and his family should be guarded by the utmost care and the most unscrupulous cleanliness. No foul sur face water should be permitted to ooze unnoticed into the well or the spring. Fouled drinking water, emanations from decomposing, moist, unpleasant collec tions of vegetable or animal matter, pools of stagnant water in the pathways or around the dwellings, leakage into the cellar beneath the house, and other such unwholesome influences, affect the health of country residents more than any other evils. Where pure air and water are supposed to be the rule they are, oa.'the contraty, the exception. There could be no better season than the present for the exercise of care in this respect, and no worse one for the dis covery of abundant opportunities for it. The majority of those farmers who know fla!/Ir? LUO uccu iui buc uxoiua^o ui uucu uciuo, and spend money liberally to keep their crops in good health, will leave their houses and yards undrained and endan ger the health of their most precious harvest?their children. The Spring Fashions. Overskirts, still much worn, are made longer than ever, which partly means that dresses without overskirts will soon be the fashion again. Already misses' dresses are seen without them, having instead an arrangement of scarfs or other trimmings. These are made after the princease model, and show the very long back, which is extended to form the deep plait of the skirt. Other models which promise to be popular for spring costume are the Marguerite t>61onaise and the loner Juive overdress. Cream color will remain popular through the coming season, and will be brought out in the various fabrics in three shades, very light, medium and deep cream. Black grenadines will be brought out in a variety of designs, among which that having bars with thin spaces be tween will be popular. Black grena dine, checked with silver or gold threads, is to be one of the novelties, but it re mains to be seen if it becomes a favorite. Old fashioned organdies and lawns, in border patterns, to be self-trimmed and made up with flowers, are numbered with what will be known as the " Cen tennial " goods. Coarse chip braids and straws, in the cream tints, will furnish many of the spring bonnets. These, it is believed, will not be anv larcrer than those of the present season. In their trimmings Cashmere laces will play a conspicuous part. The cream tint will pervade silks, flowers, and other garniture used on bonnets. Metal galloons are to be replaoed in the spring with Cashmere lace, which will be worn alike on silk and woolen fabrics. Ecru silk nefc, after the style of the old fashioned Grecian net, is being in troduced for overdress as well as scat fs. It oomes some twentv inches wide, and costs from 82.50 to S3 per yard. An other novelty for overdresses is given in a black lace or net that oomes in alter nate thick and thin blocks. A new belt for evening wear, called La Juive, is made of black velvet, em broidered with real bullion that will not tarnish; the gold and silver threads form an effective pattern in long stitches placed "closely together. These belts are intended to be worn with quaint gold or Bilver jewelry and black dresses. Shoes for evening wear are made of fa ilia f a wiofrtVi a ???ilk tfni?V| w iuavuu i/uo vucoooo WiWU nXUVJII they are worn. They are ornamented by two bows, one on the foot and the other on the strap that passes over the instep. They are also made with point ed toes. 4 The Agricultural Exhibition. The only prizes offered by the Cen tennial authorities are medals and di Eloma*. I* is suggested and hoped, owever, sayB the Philadelphia Times, that other parties will offer special cash prizes for meritorious displays. The agricultural bureau suggests that the various cattle clubs, agricultural societies, uiux^Lueii a tKu^uujLuuuuuy puuiiry ianciers, a | fruit growers and seed merchants offer such prizes for the best representations in those several interests. It is also recommended that cash prizes be offered for the most masterly essays on agricul tural subjects, veterinary science and farriery, bee and fish culture, forestry and pomology, and to the owners of farms of special merit. Several so 0 cieties and private individuals have al j ready acted upon thesesuggestions. The 8 ' Jersey cattle club will pay $1,000 to the j exhibitor of the best herd of Jersey j ! bred cattle; the Produce Exchange of j1 Philadelphia, 8150 to the exhibitor of | tbe best cheese; B. K. Bliss & Sons, 1: 3*200 for the best display of potatoes in * I necks: D. Landreth & Sons, 8100 for ! the brgt display of vegetables at a stated j pef!od; Henderson & Sons, S100 for the best display of tomatoes at a stated i period, and 850 for the best essay on 1 the cultivation of the cauliflower; Chief i Landretli, $75 for the best essay on the ! subject of forestry, and the Pennsyl j vania agricultural society proposes to I distribute ?1,000 in special prizes. All ! animals taking premiums at the annual ! exhibition of the New York agricultural society, on the twelfth of next Septem ber, will be given free transportation by tho society to and from the exposition, together with care and support while there, and should any of these animals take Centennial prizes they will receive ! other special ones from the New York j society. The Merchant of Venice, ; A Venetian merchant who was lolling I in the lap of luxury was accosted upon ! the rialto by a friend who had not seen . him for many months. " How is this?" i cried the latter, " when I last saw you ! your gaberdine was out at elbows, and now you sail in your own gondola." "True," replied the merchant, "but since then I have met with serious losses end been obliged to compound with my creditors for ten ceuts on the dollar." MorjuCi.?Composition is the life of trade. BATTLING WITH THE OCEAN. Tillage of IIeroe??Men nod Women Sarin* Lives?Bravery of r Little Girl. The following account is quoted by le London Times from the Stockholm aper, the Dogens Nyheter, of a Durageoas act performed by the people t I the fishing hamlet of Oresswell, on a le coast of Northumberland, in rescu- I ig the crew of the Gustavo, Swedish I teamer: ^ On the fifth of January last, at two in ^ tie morning, the steamer Gustave, Capt. t! t. O. Anderson, went ashore, in cons&- 1 uence of the fog and the set of the P orrent, at the little fishing village of a !resswell, on the coast of Northumber- y md, five English miles north of the own of Newbiggin. The sea was t: reaking heavily, and the vessel struck iolently at every wave. The discharge s, ipe burst very shortly, and the vessel t, ? fi--1 U?l?lnoolo nmnnrr fliA hrfiftlrfirs. 1< LXilbCU UOl^iOOJMj muvmq ?mw rhich now broke over her. Two of the oats were stove at the outset, and the bird, which it was contrived to launch, nd in which three men were lowered, :aa injured, and carried away by a sea nd cast ashore in the midst of the reakers. Every one in this little vil ige?men, women, children?hastened, n witnessing the misfortune, down to tie lifeboat station, and at three o'olook tie lifeboat was got afloat, and manned y thirteen out of the fifteen male in abitants of the village. Only two old shermen were now left on shore, and tie women, who had to wade well into ae water to get the lifeboat afloat. After an hour's fruitless endeavor to et on board, the lifeboat had to oome a shore again, and a message was sent > the nearest lifeboat station, Newbig in, to fetch a rocket apparatus, with men to attempt tue roeuuo ui uic ucx, 'he tide was rising, and at half-past four le lifeboat was launched once more, ad at last succeeded in getting along de of the steamer and saving the crew, everal of the men had by this time een more or less injured by the break rs, but all were able to get into the life oat, and the last of all the master, who it his fine and hitherto fortunate leamerwith deep emotion. On shore le shipwrecked men were received in ie most friendly manner; whatever the Dor people had they placed at their dis osal; the crew were sheltered in the 3hermen's huts, and the owner of a sighboring estate, Oresswell Hall, in ited all the crew to dinner. Later in ie day the crew's things were also tved, but much injured by the water. A touching incident of the shipwreck aserves especial mention. The writer t this heard of it on the following day, id was attracted to the spot by cries lor ?lp and of pain. On hurrying to the lace whence theories proceeded, he was jceived by a venerable couple?the lecrsman of the lifeboat and his wife. It is poor Bella," said he; "she was ot satisfied with being in the water like le others; at night she was wet through >r six hours, and has now got one of Br attacks of cramp on returning from ewbiggin." It was this little pale fish r girl who, wet through on a cold night i January, had rushed along the beach, ading through several bays by the way, id at length had reached the next life oat station to obtain assistance for the lipwrecked people, and to accomplish lis feat she had been compelled to go >n English miles. Who those ship recked people were was unlmown to 3r; to what country they belonged was 1 the same to her; it was a question of iman life that might be rescued by her eans. X opened tne lamiiy Jtsioie, ine ile ornament of that unassuming room, id there read the name "Isabella rown, born 1853." On the wall hangs silver medal, awarded to the father for ,ving life. Everything in that little unlet boro witness to a long straggle gainst the ocoan. Fortunate the country which possesses en and women like those who on that y January night flew to the rescue of te Swedish Bteamer Gustave and its ew. How he Feels. The Rev. Mr. Lee asked before the lymouth Church (Brooklyn) advisory )mmittee whv there had not been a ^luxitary investigation by the church of le scandal on the strength of the sup :>sed new testimony. Henry Ward eecher answered that none of the al ged testimony could be traced back to lything. "You can't tunt a stench; >u can an arrow. Must I run up and 3wn hunting every leech, every worm, id every poisonous insect ? As long as od knows and my mother knows, I jn't care for anybody else. You know don't mean that. I don't care, then I 5, then I don't, then I do?all just ad feel. But I am tired of tha world. I n tired of men who make newspapers, id the men who read them. I am tired ! a community without a reacting oral purpose. I am tired of it all. et I am going to bear it all. I am ring on preaching here, and when I n shut up here?well, I don't know here I will preach?but I don't think at I will live long after I stop preach g. I have been trusted witn the tid gs 01 saivanon to aying men, ana x ean to carry them. There is a name iat is dearer to me than my own, than iat of my family, and God's honor and ilicacy have never seemed so sweet to e as when I have found how much ich qualities were needed in other Iks." The Black Hills. An interesting discussion took plaoe the United States Senate on the bill tending the jurisdiction of the United ates courts over the Indian reserva >ns. The principal object of the bill, developed by the debate, was to vest e United States courts with power to inish, by fine and imprisonment, the trsons who are now in the Black Hills nil try in violation of the treaty stipu fcions with the Sioux. The bill was troduced by a Western senator?Mr. igaUs, of Kansas?and has the sanction the judiciary committee. Other extern senators, however, exhibited tense opposition to it, and argued that was a matter physically impossible to event or to ponish the trespassing on e Black Hills country. They held that I the power of the government could >t restrain the adventurous spirits who, the number of thousands, are pros icting for gold in that region. It was so charged that the Sioux were entitled no consideration, as thev had violated e most solemn treaty obligations. The ther startling statement was also made at Congress -wo old be called upon to ee the question whether it would ap ropriate several million dollars to feed ie Sioux. Remorse.

THREE-CARD MONTE. . Noted Player Telia a Reporter all Abont the Game and the Manner In Which It la Played. " So you don't know anything abont hree-card monte, eh ? Now, just wait minute and I'll show you something, lere are three business cards, all alike. '11 take the plain side of them, and on tris one I'll mark a large round spot dth a pen. Now, watch close. I take bis card so, and place it on the table. ?his is the one with the mark on it. I iut the two others on either side of it, nd you can turn it up now and look for our self." The reporter did so. Sure enough, be middle card had the spot. "Now, again, I take up this card lowly, and throw it over in the place of be other, and transfer the one on the jft to the plaoe of the one on the right, nd the marked one is now on the left istead of being in the middle, isn't it?" The reporter thought that such was be case, and remarked that there was no oubt about it. "Piok it up and see," said Slippery fed. The reporter turned over the card. It ras a blank. He also turned the mid le, with a like result, and found the larked spot on the last -card to the ight. " There," said Ned, "you see if you'd ad $1,000 bet on that, you'd been left, rouldn't you ? "I'll Bhowyou," said he. "I take bis card with the spot on it, and bending ; like the others, put it in my fingers. ? rrtrtl-Jn*! no f.ViATIfffl T ilittlXO a luvnivu uu WUVMQU A nv*v tirowing it out, but I merely shove it uickly down, and throw out the next ard to it. You keep your eye on the ne thrown out, thinking it is the one rhich is marked, or in a regular way, tie ace, and there you get left again, row let me show you." And in a few loments it was so well explained that le reporter had hardly any trouble in icking up the proper card. Then the perator smutted the oorner of a card a ttle and gave an illustration of that roceeding. When all this was fully explained the sporter prooeeded to get some informa ion concerning the mode of living by iese operators. "You see," said Ned, "I used to be retty well up in the business, although was young in years. Red John first ot hold of me in New York, where I ras playing marbles on the Btreet, and e, thinking I would make a good sub ict, started out with me.

The side plai of the Yangtse, embracing an area c about three hundred by six hundre miles, and with an estimated populatio of twenty-five to thirty millions of soulf is one of the most fertile sections on th globe; it has been worked thousands c years, and by means of thorough irrig* tion and fertilization the strength of tb soil is fully maintained, yielding tw orops a"year, almost invariably in aBunc ance. Eice'and cotton are the principf products, but some wheat and othc cereals ajo also grown, a variety of veg< tables and the various fruits of sem tropical regions. The Chinese get a that is possible from mother earth. Th tea sections are mostly upon highe lands, but the culture is carried on 63 tensively upon the uplands which aj pear in different localities in the midi of this great plain. Silk culture is alfl a great industry in some sectioni There is no labor saving machinery everything is done by the most toilsom hard work, and the rudest implemenl are employed for that purpose in all th processes of agricultural and mam facturing industry. The ownership c all lands is vested in the government they are leased to tenants for a Ion period at stipulated rates, their rant* averaging, parhaps, three to five dollai an acre per annum. Few horses ai seen excepting those owned by foreigi ers. The Chinese buffalo is employe largely for the transportation of the pre ducts of the soil and articles of mei chandise. They are larger than ord nary bullocks, their large fiat horns rui ning backward from the head, reachin nearly to the neck. They are harnesse to great carts, and draw very heav loads; often they are packed lik mimfilfl Anri led bv coolies. Bnylng a Farm. When business is depressed and time are hard, city people are apt to wis themselves settled in the country, an seriously think of buying a farm. It i the universal panacea for pinched poci ets and metropolitan misfortunes. Le a merchant fail, and the first thing h propose! is to save money enough out c the wreck to buy a farm. If a broke suspends, if a financier's pretty bul bles break or float away in the air, if lawyer's clients withdraw their patronag and leave him without briefs?in shoii if anybody experiences a business col lapse, he immediately turbshis thought countrvward. and as the last and unfaiJ ing resource proposes to buy a farm It is assumed that anybody can run farm, as anybody can edit a newspapei and it is also taken for granted that farm is a sort of horse that not onl; takes care of himself but feeds an clothes his rider. It does not seem b occur to any of these men that farmini is a business requiring special know! edge, experience, and skill for succest ful management, and that the averag city man is quite as much out of plao and at his wits' ends on a farm, after h has bought it, as he would be at thehea of a manufactory or in command of man-of-war. Injury to Wliea^ The present season is exceptional! mild, and although those who dwell i towns and cities may congratulate there rfelvos upon what they may term a favo] able winter, yet the farmer views it wit I onnrahanainTi TVia tirtiaI nrnfcpflfcin covering which shields the wheat froc constant changes of temperature, s detrimental to the tender plant, is er tirely wanting. A succession of frost and thaws in place of a steady moderat oold may result in the destruction of on most important crop, and one which car not be replaced or replanted as a sprin crop can. While the farmer is powei less to avert* the evil, he may. at leaf moderate its effects to some extent. Th greatest injury may be feared upon ur drained and wet lands. Standing wate is utterly fatal to the wheat orop, whil upon dry soil it will resist much ur favorable weather with impunity. Th farmer should therefore see to it tha Ainn orn tflrvf Anon GTlrl fit OLUIOVO IU(UUD UiU UUVA fields relieved of any accumulations c water. A top dressing of coarse manure or even coarse litter, marsh hay or stra^ will afford much protection to th plants. Thoughts for Saturday Night. Pleasure and sorrow are twins. Earthly pride is like a passing flowei that springs to fall, and blossoms but t die. As the Greek says: " Many men kno^ how to flatter, few men know how t praise." Said Lord Nelson: I have always bee: a quarter of an hour before my time and it has made a man of me. There is no future pang can deal tha justice on tne seii-conaemnea ne aeai on his own soul. He who reforms himself has don more toward reforming the pubiio tha a crowd of noisy s impotent patriots. Nothing exposes religion more to th reproach of its enemies than the world liness and hardhearteiness of the pre feasors of it. Praise never gives us muoh pleasur unless it concur with our own opinion and extol us for those qualities in whic' we chiefly excel. A Fastidious Tramp. The "cheekiest" tramp has tome up in New London, Conn. He wante something to eat. The servant girl cu from a loaf just baked four slices c bread and from a roast two slioes c beef, preparing for him a couple of sane wiches. These were tendered him, bt he indignantly drew baok, asking " Well, haven't you any hot ooffee? " You don't suppose we keep coffee he all day to deal out to tramps, 'do you? " Then 1 don't want this," replied th injured gentleman. And he handed he DacK tne sanawicneB ana movea on. Ocean Telegraphy, Hie Hartford (Conn.) Times record two very remarkable feats in ocean telt graphy which came tinder its notic within a day or two. A Hartford fin se&t by the Atlantic and Pacific compan and tiirongh them by direct cable a mee ROffA f/i n. hnsinoflR establishment in Lor don. The last word of the message ha been sent from the Hartford office s 9:20 o'clock in the forenoon, and at 10:4 o'clock?or in one honr and twenty-seve minutes?the answering message wa complete in the same office. Anothe message was sent at 4:09 p. m., and ? 5:20 p. m. the answer was delivered, th time being one hour and eleven minutes If we Btop to consider the number c hands through which the dispatc passed, both in transit between tho di: ferent offices and delivery in London an Hartford, the extraordinary features c the exploit -will be the more readily aj predated. In newspaper offices, wher foreign dispatches are constantly r< ceived and in the compositors' hands a most as soon as the news can bo utilize in London, the feat will not be cor sidered aa remarkable, as with the ave] age reader who takes it as a matter c course that foreign news must be in th paper, and never stops to think of th Agencies, some of them buried deep bf noath the sea, through which the fact are chronicled. Flogging to Death. Since capital punishment has bee: abandoned in Portngal, the worst crim: nals are often sent to Angola; and som of these convicts acquire wealth and bt come important traders. Bnt they ar very careful not to commit any offW"> in Angola, for flogging is the pni > ii ment for every crime, and if a heii.ou one has been committed, a suflicicu number of lashes is imposed to rende the murderer's death certain. A cave i mentioned in which two men who ha< killed another were sentenced to receiv u thousand lashes. They died on tlioi way to prison after having been Hogged A New Way to Fatten a Turkey. Gath writes: One of the most agre< able entertainments of an epicurean kin whioh is given at Washington is that c Dr. Ninian Pinckney, who stands secon on the list of medical directors, and i the nephew of William Pinckney an brother of Bishop Pinckney. Dr. Pincl ney's qnarters are at the Washingto navy yard, and he is celebrated for feec ing tnrkeys on English walnuts?admit istered whole, shell and all, withoi cracking. A few weeks ago I had th pleasure of attending a dinner given b this hospitable Epicurus. A turkey r< posed in the center of the table, of r< markable size, ana 01 navor nut by the most delicate capon. Before n pat the knives into this dish for Divei another turkey was brought up to th door, and theprooess of feeding him ws achieved. Fourteen full, large walnuts, whoL were put in the wonderful fowl's bil and slipped down the gullet bv the fij gers outside. As the first walnut wei down, the turkey looked up with or eye in a baffled sort of way, as if woi dering whether he was assisting comedy or going to execution. At ti third walnut he turned uj> both h eyes, as if now assured that it was nc the intention to kill him by starvatioi At the fifth walnut, his inquisitivenef was unbounded, and he wore the look< a man who had been reading a thrillin story, and had suddenly bumped upo the words: "To be continued in or next." Continued it was; and, after tb seventh walnut, Sir Turkey gave up th conundrum, closed his eyes resignedl] and when the fourteenth wainuc na slipped down his gullet, and they wei all rattled by the hand, so as to produc from the bird's interior a sound as of macadamizing job going on there, hi expression was plainly to be reac "Gentlemen, you know what this is fc and I presume that your oonsideratio for myself will enable me to reflect upo the performance with the eye of faith. It takes about three weeks to fatten turkey in this way, for the animal, ui like the mills of the gods, grinds e: ceedingly small, but very fast. He ui dergoes considerable digestive wakefu ness, but the secretions oome to h rescue; the shells are melted down, an the walnuts are assimilated, so that h matures in a fractional part of the lii he has been destined to. It seems thi this trick has been discovered on th way around Cape Horn, on a certai many turkeys, and nothing, for them t eat. A humorous officer said that sooi er than see his turkeys starve he woul feed them on the table dessert. A fe of the animals died, but the majorit survived and proved to be palatable kx yond all previous experience. I mentio this matter for the edification of gou: mands, who want to know what a turke is capablo of. Senator Anthony was d< lighted both with the dooility and del cacy of the respective birds of freedoi which had been brought before us. Th experiments made with turkeys are sai to demonstrate the fact that fourtee contained a gret wainuta la uio iuxub wmuu t> uuu w stand, and that less than eight will nc produce the flavor attainable. A Torpedo Story. During the bombardment of Callaob the Spanish squadron under Admin Mendez Nunez, in May, 1866, writes a officer of the English navy, we observe from the ship Mutine a large barge lade with coal, which had apparently broke adrift from the shore, floating aboi among the Spanish squadron, who s the time were sustaining a heavy fli from the shore batteries; consequently they allowed it to drift away unnoticec A short time afterward it floated clo? to her majesty's ship Mutine, and as vj were very short of coal we thought < picking it up; fortunately, as you wi see in the result, we did no sucn thing The United States gunboat Watere< being close to us at the time, sent h< boats and secured it, losing no time i transferring its contents to her ca bunkers, but when about to use it in tb furnace the -lumps were, luckily, to large, and on being broken disclose small shells inside some and bottles c explosive stuff inside of others. I ha this from an officer of the Wateree, wh - also lniormea me imtu it wua uui u pituv 6 ant sensation, the idea that they migl l" have been " firing np with torpedoes." 0 0 Another Joan. ?f A telegram from a newspaper correi >, pondent in Herzegovina states that Dutch ladv, rich, but very eccentri< e Las made her appearance in the insn: gent ranks, mounted on a magnified mule. She was received with militai honors, the troops being drawn up i battle array and presenting arma to the] mistress, who had brought with her a '? ample supply of banknotes, which sh 0 handed over to the chiefs of the mov< ment, promising further pecuniary & bis ran oe, dj meanH 01 wmou tme uupes i secure the defeat of the Turks in let than three months. She is described ? a sort of modern Joan of Arc, armed i all points, wearing male attire and caj rying with her a Dutch flag, which floal proudly on the breeze. A Family Journal. In a certain farmhouse twenty yeai labeled "Home Journal" Every nigl somebody made an entry in it. Fathe set down the sale of the calves, or mot! er the cutting of the baby's eye toot! or, perhaps, Jenny wrote a full accoui of tne sleighing party last night; or Bo the proceedings of the Phi Beta Clut or Tom scrawled " Tried my new gur Bully. Shot into the fence and Johi son's old cat." On toward the middle of the boo there was an entry of Jenny's marriage and one of the younger girls had adde a description of the bridesmaids' dresi es, and long afterward there was writtei " This day father died," in Bob's tren: bling hand. There was a blank of man; months after that. But nothing could have served betta to bind that family of headstrong boy and girls together than the keeping c this book. They come back to the ol homestead now, men and women wit grizzled hair, to see their mother wh is still living, and tnrn over its page reverently, with many a hearty langh, c tho tears coming into their eyes. It i their childhood come back again i visible shape.?Scribner. Inequality of Sentences. The governor of Ohio, in his me; sage to the Legislature, speans as iu lows concerning the want of equality i the punishment of offenders : My in mediate predecessor called the attentio of the General Assembly to the matte of inequality in sentences to the pen; tentiary. I fully indorse his views o that subject, and invite you to conside the great injustice frequently done t men and women who are more unfortt nate than criminal, by the uuequt sentences pronounced by the courtf The peculiar temperament or conditio of the judge, or the attendant influence in a community, as frequently mold th character of the sentence as the circuit stances of the case. Men are servin under sentence of thirty years for pr< cisely the same crimes for which othe men are serving terms of three years There should be some mode of amenc ing tho errors of courts in this matte] Of course, the pardoning power ca rectify the irregularity; but it would b better to remove, as far as possible, th necessity of the interposition of execi tive clemency. It is a matter worthy c of yonr earnost consideration. The Keely Motor. Tiio bursting of one of tbo Keely m< tor machines is the first really practia rosult we have had of the experiment with the famonr motor.

One evening, says a writer, I saw i crowd in front of a Paris restaurant, am learned on inquiry that a man had take; his own life inside. It appeared that h had installed himself in a "cabinet, and ordered a regal repast, dwelling with unction on each course. His repas occupied a couple of hours, and whe; coffee, cognac and cigars were fumishe< toward the close of it, he informed th waiter that he would require nothinj else, and he need not return until h rang for him. About fifteen or twent minutes afterward?the time to sip hi cognac and smoke a cigar?the report c a firearm was heard proceeding from hi cabinet On opening the door he wa found lying on the sofa dead, with smoking pistol at his side. On searct ing him, not a sou was discovered in hi poctets, xne miereuue waa uun kwui; nearly starved, he determined to regal himself in a sumptuous manner fc once, and then oanceled this and a other debts by paying with his lifo. Th proprietor of the restaurant said h would have willingly given him his dir ner if he had only killed himself els* where than on his premises. This wa the praotical side of the question. Th man who paid such a pnoe for his dir ner was evidently a disciple of Brillal Savarin.
