THE AM ATEUR FARMER.
I dreamt of a beautiful time
When the world shall happy be!
When the elephants and byenas
Shall blossom on every tree;
When tamariuds and potatoes
Shall cease their dreadful roar,
When turnip trees shali blossom
In the garden for ever more.
I dreamt of a great republic
When the.people shall all go West,
Sow plums and reap tomatoes
In the land they love the best;
When pig iron and molasses
Shall bloom on every hill.
And chickens low in the barnyard,
While gooseberries toil at the mill.
I'm weary of seeing the cabbage
Handle the rake and the hoe:
I'm weary of watching and waiting
For the grasshopper bush to grow;
1 1)ng for the time when spinach
Shall cope with bread and milk;
When hens shall lay potatoes,
And horses spin raw silk.
Oh! sweet were the vanished hoars
When I wandered down the glen,
And wreathed my brow with tomatoes,
Or plucked the ripened hen;
When the donkey twined up the trellis,
And the encumber chirped in the grass;
And the sweet potato whistled
To its mate in the mountain pass.
But gone are the days of childhood,
And manhood's dreams are mine;
Yet I long for the by-gone hours.
As I sit'neath this Turkish vine.
OhI wreath your blossoms. about me
And soothe my aching breast;
While gooseberry plaintively warbles
And lulls me Into rest.

'Dally,' said Mrs. Dalrymple to
r husband as he was perusing the
lumns of' an esteemed contem
>rary, 'What is the news this
orning? Who is married ? Who
dead ? Has Fertsel got his
vorce ?'
'Eush, Tillie,' said Dahlgreen,
id he read a second time this
cal brevity :
Abbatueci Tambourini, an Ital
n peanut vender in Mulberry
reet, was yesterday assaulted
' Poindexter Ryan, who upset
is stand and robbed him of $3.22.
yan was arrested and will be
ied this morning for the larceny
id assault.
1t so happened that Mr. Dalrym
e sat among the spectators in
)urt that day when the case was
dled. He had a sublime respect
-not uncommon among those
afamiiar with its workings-for
le administration of justice, and
* expected confidently to see
ambourini's goods restored to
im and Ryan sent to a deep
2ngeon cell. He listened, and
is is what he heard.
Counsel for Tambourini, risi.ng,
id ..
'If it may please the Court, tbe
risoner at the bar is charged with
~gravated' and unprovoked as
ult upon my client ; but, in con
~quence of the repeal of the
atut.e of 1791 by the now general
w of 1873-an error, as your
onor will remember, until after
e negatory act had passed both
ouses of the Legislature and ob
Lined the Governor's signature
1ere is no law covering this case.
on will find, however, in an act
assed in 1843, and entitled, 'An
.ct to prevent mock auctions and
>secure efficiency in the Nation
t Guard,' a clause in the second
etion of the third amendment
hich bears directly upon this
atter. It has been held (Brown
. Brown, 23, 75, Maguiness J.)
aat an assault upon the person of'
n alien is a misdemeanor. Though
.bbott (in Blake vs. Snoogles,
0, 1, 44,) held otherwise. In
n act passed-in 1835, entitled 'Au
act to withhold water franchises
*om the Union Ferry Company
>r ninety nine years,' It was pro.
ided that where robbery follows
sault, thes power ot the Judge
all be discretionlary. But where
bev are coincident, his pow er is re
tricted to : 'A fine of $50, or more,
r less, or six months' imprison
lent, or more, or less, or both, or
either.' And we find thatatcom
aon law the same rule holds:
hsto quod e.sse rideris. I ad mit
hat in tho present condition of
e statute it is impossible to say
heter an offence of' this nature
. technically, a misdemeanor.
lowvr, it must be clear that
my client has lost his peanuts and (
is entitled to some redress.' r
Ryan's counsel here arose E
'If it may please the Court, this V
case turns on the old law of 1821,
entitled 'An Act to eipower-the r
State Surveyor to sue for damages
sustained by reason of co'inty or a
dinances.' The first case is re.
viewed by Mills, C. J.. who in the '
matter of Shillito vs. Guiteras, Is
held that a man may suffer the 1
same injuries if assaulted in the
street as if assaulted in a house. d
Two- Judges concurred and three 5
dissented. By one of those laches C
whicb seem almost inevitable the (
clerk mislaid the opiniou of the i
dissen ting Judges, aud the assault- f
ed man was sent to jail, where he 3
(lied some time afterward. That, n
however, is not material. Parsons e
on Contracts states clearly that r
where a mau enters into an ar- C
rangement whereby there is a 0
reasonable likelihood that he will c
be knocked down, he can only ie.
cover damages in the event of hibs
being killed. Your Honor will re.
member that Parsons lays down
this rule as peremptory ; but, as r
Chalmers truly observes, 'How can b
the dead man sue ?' Bis peccare 1
in belto non licot. I will not waste il
the time of the Court to inquire h
w-hether my client did really rob b
and maltreat this Italian. I admit c
that be did. We concede premed- t
itation, the assault and the lar- a
ceny. But what has that to do 11
with it ? Has not Hope, in Down- h
ing vs. Durando, 19-45, decided r
that where warranty is not speci- ri
fled it is not to be presumed.? t
Does anybody come into this court a
to guarantee these peanuts? No, a
Mr. Tambourini swears the pea
nuts were his. Let us concede it. I
W bat did he have them for? Pro- b
supposing no illicit intentions on
his part, and wav'ng how be got t
them, I will say simply : He had a
them. to dispose of. To whom ?
That is no business of the Court. sl
Ryan comes along. He takes b
them. They are disposed of. And V
then, this sallow-faced, coal eyed, ci
lantern-jawed, hungry - mouthed p
Peninsulan comes here and asks c
this august Court to resolve itself a
into an investigating committee o:
to ascertain whether the consid- L
eration wus adequate ? And in
the same breath that he says he J
received nothing for the peanuts
be swears that he got two black ri
eyes!'
'If your Honor please,' said the b
Italian's counsel, 'the black eyes f
referred to were given to Tam
bourini by the gentleman's client.' b
[Unsuppressed merriment of the c
Court officers.]
The Judge rapped heavily for e
order, and when silenc was re- c
stored, th ue spoke: :
'This case is a peculiar one. it
About once a month 1 hear it. c
Sometimes I decide it one way, si
sometimes another. It is gen
erally appealed and always over- k
ruled. Authorities conflict. Judge b
Timothy Campbell has held that fi
an assault is not an assault when 1
premeditation is shown ; but Judge e
Patrick G. Dluffy has decided a
otherwise-, basing his decision on*
the old common law of torts which c
presumes violence as the occasion a
of blood flowing and contusions. It h
was so held by Talley, in Morey d
vs. Tom Collins, 4, 11, 329.'
'If your honor please,' said t
Ryan's counsel, 'I move the dis- t
charge of' the prisoner.' 'i
'On what ground ?' 0
n
'On the ground that the com
plaint is defective. It states that
Tambourini is an Italian, and re
sides at 365 Mulberry street. Now
I offer to show by parole evi.
dcnce that he is a native of the re- h
public of San Marino, and does ~
not reside 'at' b,ut 'in' 365 Mul- ~
erystreet. His Honor Judge
Dowling, i'n Weston vs. O'Leary,
658, 2, has held that the substi- V
tution of the word 'at' for 'iin' is a
fatal. Judge Bridges in the mat. d
ter- of Hood vs. Sighs (A bbott's "
Reports 96, 18, margin of the in- 'I
dex,) says: 'Public policy de- v
mands the suppression of lot
teries' The same principle gov
erns this case-Exc olim meminisse
juvabit.'b
'if your honor please,' ventured t
the Italian's counsel, 'Gedney has t
decided that. a writ of Ne AEzeAt 't
overs this case. We may be pcr
.iitted to amend the complaint by
ubstituting ;in' lor 'at;' mean
-bile it may stand pro form.'
Then we except, and reserve

'Exception noted and right to:

'We,' said Tarr bourini's counsvl,

FOR TEE HERALD. -
Watering Place Novelties
Richfield Springs.
An extremely fashionable lady now s
prides herself on nothing wore than a
pair of tan colored gloves of kid or
chamois skin that she wears in a mass
of wrinkles above her wrist. This is
the badge: the sign and symbvl of
veritable "style" and she who bears
it looks complacertly on herself and
disdainfully on surrounding existen
ces. If allowed to follow its destiny, t
that stretch of kid or goat skin ought
to reach from half to all the way up
to the elbow ; being made without
buttons or perhaps only a few at the
wrist. Thither, however, it must
never be allowed to go, but must J(
0 ; T!
crumple and wrinkle as previounly
described. Not only is this fashion
adopted when costumes of silk or wool I
are worn, but in case of, thin wuslins
or even white satin. Yet the greater
number of ladies are Content with a
kid glove worn in a wore conservative
way, or with lisle thread, silk or lace
witts, of which there are no end in
the market. But lace is certainly the
culur of the hour; being prefvrred to
shades correspondirg with the dress i
and influencing all the lighter summer
substitutes for kid. Still there are
other stylish hues worn even by ex
trewists and these are gold, golden
brzwn, gray or black. Both gloves
and mitts of high and low degree are
long on the wrist and there is much
less open work than formerly.
TWO SCHOOLS IN SLEEVES.
Two schools in sleeves, as wide W
apart as homopathy and alipathy now fr
prevail. The Gigot or bishop sleeve d
is the head and front of a new rebel- v
lion; this being followed at a respect- b
ful distance by sleeves imbued with 1
similar ideas but of more modest out- Ih
line. The Gigot, however, conies ft
boldly out and shows the veritable
balloon top of olden time with cuff p
shaped in to the arm. Unlike the o
leg of mutton, however, it is cut all ti
n one piece; the puff at the top be- h
ing put on separately. Sleeves of si
lesser note are crowned with smaller c
puffs while at times we see two puffs b
divided by rows of shirring. Mean- B
time the close coat sleeve holds its t<
own and thereby no small advantage so
to the public at large accrues. An M
arm too thin can hide securely under
hose friendly puffings and show to b
he world as if it were the plumpest, oj
nd she who dreads no scrutiny can hI
wear a sleeve that follows nature's fair tI
proportions. Each one does well and nm
ach is stylish. h
FASHIONS FOR THE THIN. r
But if a thin arm can be made to mn
pass, wherefore not the individual ? di
his pertinent question can be an- W
swered in the affirmative and the re.-h
salt so satisfactory is brought about ha
by the aid of shirrings. This the St
more so, bec'ause they are a veritable &
age. You cannot misplace them. h
Put them about the neck, on the front, d~
n the back, around the waist, on the a
sleeve of your corsage and you commit ti
o error. Have your skirt shirred Ui
from end to end : you touch the ex- f
tremist's limits, but you do not over
step them. Even the hat and parasol s<
may be shirred, a pretty example of Ie
such an outfit being one prepared of t
ream white mull for Emmia Abbott, A
who is spending the Summer here. w
Another tasteful costume showing et
similar ideas has been gotten up for w
the same well known singer. It is of I
silk and wool : a combination of pale n<
blue and golden brown, and is maae
Aurelian waist in surplice style, with ci
shirred belt and sash; sleeves with 1o
two puffs and shirring between. The of
:verskirt after the Carita model shows u!
the front arranged with a shirred ol
pron draped high in the mniddle- and :
falling in points at the sides. Close f
kL to shirrings, come puffings. e
Thbese because a tmore pronounced t
type are used with some caution ; you ti
annot cover your whole outfit with it
puffs, but they are very popular. For ti
the bottom of the dkirt, nothing is w
better liked than a puff; one or more~ ei
puffs around the neck are qjuite the* Si
ting, while a puff at the wrist some- tr
times supercedes a cuff. But ruffles C
may come in to complete the magnify. 'i

agile that she could not be ban

her fragility. and by its aid her

i record of whom it can be said
iat her whole value consisted in
-r fragility ; but, as her story
lows, her fragility was the sole
tpital invested in her husband's
isiness. In January, 1870, Mrs.
aker-then a single woman, as
whose maiden name there is
me uncertaint-was married to
r.Wbeelwright-James G. Wheel
right, of Worcester, Mass. Her
Vsband married her on account
her well-knowri fragility, but
treated b.er with such kindness
at in the whole course of their
arried life he never once broke
ar, even by accident. In Feb
ary, 1870, the Wheelwrights re
oved to Utica, N. Y., and one
ty Mr. Wheelwright took his d
ife to the railway station. an.d

lec in the platform. He at once
ed the railway company for ,j
.0,000, being the value set by
mself on his wife's log, and ten I
ys5 afterwards accepted 8S5,000,
a compromise, andI withdrew e
e suit. The Wheelrights left g
tica in Juae .:1870, and in the b~
Ilowing August the dutiful Mrs. j
'heelwright, who now called her- e
If Mrs. Thomas, broke her other f
g in a hole ~in the platform of
e railway station at Pittsburg.
~ain her husband sued the rail-t
ay company for $15,000, and a
mpromised for $6,500. The leg h
as mended successfully, and in 6
ily, 1871, we find the Thomases, g

r. and Mrs. Smiley, at Gin- ~
nnati, where Mr. Smiley, after a

ragged and uneven sidewalk, L

AN EARTHQUAKE HoEsos.A-M.
e Chivry, a Paris wine merchant,
honas traveling in Scio when
he earthquake occurred, has
rritten a vivid description of the
Etastrophe in which his wife and
ur children wore killed. He
imself escaped with his youngest
hild and a nurse. He writes
dat the first shock was by
tr the most violent. The house
scillated from its very founda
on ; the piano, probably one of
de upright instruments, tumbled
ver against the window,and a
eavy clock was upset into the '
replace. A second shock brought
die house down, crushing to death
be- four children and their mo
rier, and breaking their father'a
rm. M. de Chivry, with the
urse and infan t passed the night in
2e cemetery. The following morn
ag he could find no trace of the
ouse or of the street on which it
tood. H e remembers being more
eeply impressed with horror by
de shrieks of the people and the
ellowing of the cattle than by
be crashb of the falling walls and
be dull roar of the earth. His
eason so far deserted him for a
ioment that he fancied the
:reamning inhabitants were en
eavoring to kill him, but the
ght of his child and the nurse
~stored his mental balance. -
