After a while, a busy brain
Will rest from all its toil and pain.
After a while, earth’s rush will cease,
And a wearied heart find sweet release.

A crumbled headstone, an unknown spot.

THE TERRORS OF THE LAW.
*
The man who has just suffered for his
crime the extreme penalty of the law, has
been the centre of a remarkable degree of
interest in this city and throughout the cour-
try. The first publication of his crime sex I
a thrill of horror through the hearts of all
No doritt the first reports were somewhat ex-
aggerated, from the natural tendency of re-
porters to produce the highest sensational
effects, by all possible coloring of the facts.
But the admitted facts were sufficient to
justify the indignation that was felt. That
to the crime of burglariously entering a
dwelling, should be that of binding a woman
in her bed, that the thief might get off safely
with his booty, was sufficient to put the
criminal beyond the reach of pity, in the
minds of perhaps the greatest‘ part of the
community. And since, in the providence
of God, death was the result, the criminal
was brought within reach of a statute that
exacts a penalty of death.
No matter how far from his thoughts was
any intention of violence, no in tter for his
almost immediate repentance, ev u when he
first heard of the death of his victim as he
was riding in a city car, when, as he said,
“his heart seemed to leap up into his throat,”
no matter for the fact that he never carried
a deadly weapon in his life (except when he
served three years in the regular army), no
matter that the testimony of physicians
showed that there was no mark of violence
on the body, except a slight scratch on the
ring finger; no matter for the testimony that
blood trickled from that scratch just before
the body was placed upon the ice, and that
no Official examination was held until the
body had remained there long enough for
human life to be extinguished, death was
somehow, either from fright or otherwise,
the result, and public opinion (at least the
majority of voices) seemed to justify the
sentence that has just been executed.
Very many, it is true, felt great sympathy
for the prisoner, and earnestly desired the
commutation of his sentence to imprisonment
for life, according to the principles of the
ancient Hebrew law, that spared the life of
the man slayed, “who killed his adversary
unintentionally, or without premeditation, or
without the use of a deadly weapon.”
But on the other hand, there was an ear-
nest feeling that the defence of human life,
in this city, against homicide were becoming
insufficient. There had been no executions
for five or six years. And an example was
demanded as a terror to evil doers. It was
even argued that as the criminal was a truly
penitent man, and ready to meet his God, it
would be better for him to suffer than one
who was unprepared.
As to the merits of this opinion the writer
has no desire to express any public opinion.
I would only say that if it had been possible
for the Christian people of this city to have
held frequent conversations with the con—
demned man, and to have perceived his
Christian spirit throughout, his humility, his
penitence, his forgiving charity, and to have
bowed with him at the throne of grace, and
heard his earnest plea with God, “not my
will but thine be done," and to have heard
the commendation of all his keepers for his
exemplary deportment,and to have witnessed
his wonderful Christian fortitude,and sereni-
ty, and courage to the very last, there would
have been much greater sympathy for him,
and perhaps his simple plea for mercy, (to
extend so far as a commutation to imprison-
ment for life) might have been granted. And
this is not mere theory but seems to have
been the universal feeling of those who took
the pains to visit him.
And, again, it must he confessed that there
isa mysrerious inequality in the awards of
justice, when (this prisoner was awaiting the
determination of his fate) another man,
Portello, could waylay his intended victim
in the street, and deliberately plunge his
dagger to his heart, and yet escape with the
sentence of imprisonment for life. It is
true that this prisoner was allowed to take a
plea of homicide in the second degree. But
in the present case, by the technicality of
the law the prisoner was shut out from such
a plea, however unintentional or even acci-
dental. Surely such inequality demands
some condendation of such a law, however
necessary in its main intent, lest its injustice
should array men against it.
The writer, however, has no wish to ob—
struct the,course of justice, or to diminish
the “terrors of the law" to “evil doers."
His only desire is that, with the growth of
Christian charity in all other directions, there
should be a still larger share of it manifested
towards the unhappy beings who are suffer-
ing for their crimes, and that this Christian
charity should be more abundantly blended,
according to the Divine Example, with the
severity of justice. May Hood's lines soon
cease to be a reproach.
“Alas for the rarity
Of Christian charity.”
But the special lesson which it is the de-
sign of this paper to illustrate, and which
deeply impressed the mind of the writer, is
the awful majesty of the law.
Duty required his presence—a most stern
and terribly painful duty. Yet as duty al—
ways has its reward, though it should be
taken up as a dreadful burden from which
the heart shrinks, so it was in this case. The
night of watching brought us very near
' to the throne of grace, and gave us a
wonderfully realizing sense of the infinite
goodness and mercy of God, the unspeakable
preciousness and sweetness of his promises,
the nearness of Heaven, and the truth, and
power, and excellence of the Christian reli-
gion,
But in passing through the prison yard in
the morning, and finding one’s way barred
by the long double files of stout, strong men
in their uniforms guarding the gallows (over
two hundred policemen being there armed
with their clubs) we could not but feel “How
dreadful is the majesty of the law I”
There is an unseen power, moving irre-
sistably forward, even in the decrees of
human law, to which we 'must all submit.
How light, as the air itself, when unresistcd.
How terrible, even with more awful solemni-
ty than the whirlwind when its vengeance is
invoked.
As the hours of the early morning passed
swiftly away, while the criminal himself,
with the ministers who attended him in his
cell, were singing hymns of Christian faith,
and love, and hope, there outside silently
waited those ofificcrs of justice. At length
the sheriff and his assistants, with along file
of deputies, marched in down the Opposite
side of the corridor and around and up again
immediately in front of the cell.
Word was sent in that the time would be
left to the prisoner whenever he was ready.
At once he responded that he was ready
whenever they gave word. Then the minis-
ters, shaking hands, left the cell, and the
sheriff and his assistants entered and closed
the inner door behind them.
Presently the prisoner appeared with his
arms pinioned above the elbows behind him,
wearing the halter and the dreadful black
cap upon his head, leaving his face, however,
uncovered.
Oh how stern and inexorable the decrees
of the law.
Even the hearts of all the keepers were
filled with sorrow and compassion,and strong
men were almost unnerved in witnessing the-
scene ; though one man fainted at the sight,
even though the Officers of justice themselvcs
shrank from their terrible dizt], even though
many of those who guarded the way to the
gallows, as well as many of the spectators
may have greatly desired the prisoner’s rc—
pricvc, still the dreadful decree was carried
steadily and quietly forward to its execution.
How utterly hopeless any attempt to
escape, even had such an idea entered the
mind of the prisoner.
How terrible the majesty of human law!
And now, one thought in conclusion. If
this be the case with human law that reaches
only to the narrow limit of human life, what
must be the casein the inflexible laws Of eter-
nal justice, that reach even to the “thoughts
and intents of the heart,” of all the enemies
of God, and extend to an endless existence
beyond the grave.
Alas, alas for those who, having violated
God 's law on earth, are only ready for their
trial to begin, when this brief life is ended,
and to appear at the bar of infinite justice
with the sentence of eternal death written in
their Own hearts. S.
Republicans vs Democrat-s.
Editor Connecticut Catholic .-
Sir—In your issue of last week a Rock-
ville correspondent has a letter criticising my
ideas and actions,as expressed in my letter
to the president of the Indianapolis Irish rc-
publicau convention. As the greater portion
of your corr pondent’s letter consists of per-
sonalities rc ive to myself and my private
affairs, and being of no interest to the gen-
eral reader, I will passs it by unnoticed,with
the exception of those parts bearing on
questions of utility and the issues at present
before the public.
Regarding his remarks about General Gar-
field leaving the army and going into con-
gress: Some of the old soldiers remember
the times in 1862 and 1863, when they had
not‘seen the paymaster for eight and some
of them for ten or twelve months. It was
then that the brave boys in blue had to black
their shoes with a piece of salt pork, because
they had not wherewith to buy a pot of
blackiug. The wives of the married men
were writing out to their husbands, “Will
you never get any money? ” The solid south
was in our front and their friends of the
north and west were in our rear. President
Lincoln asked congress for an appropriation
to pay the troops in the field, but was met
with the response :—NO money for northern
birelings to suppress our southern brothers.
It was then that the President besought
such men as Garfield, Hayes and others to
leave the front and enter congress, saying
they were wanted to confront such demo-
crats as V-oorhees, Pendleton, Vallanding-
ham and their followers, who were using
utmost powers to breed discontent in the
army by refusing the necessary supplies to
the government. And the result of their
entering congress wasthe passage of the ap—
propriations which enabled the President to
send the paymaster to the front with trunks
full of greenbacks to pay the honest dues to
those men who were freely offering to die
that their country might live. Such men in
congress as Garfield, Blaine and old Thad.
deus Stevens made it possible for Sherman
to march to the sea, and for Grant to give us
the apple tree at Appomattox an immortal
place in American history.
I think it comes with an exceeding bad
grace, the fling at the carpet baggers from
one whose very signature “Adopted Citizen"
shows that he is one himself. And then,
how he does talk about Hancock & English
—peacc and plenty—and the wheels of the
old chariot! Excuse me, my “adopted"
friend, this thing about chariot wheels is
something like the Hancock boom—demo—
cratic gush. The best thing we can do with
these kind of wheels is to smash them up and
boil the kettle with them; they are of no
other use nowad ays. Far better for a man
from Roekville to talk about mill-wheels—
these are the kind of wheels that bring peace
and plenty.
I will say here that your correspondent~
makes one very fair proposition in his letter,
when he says that “this should be fought
out fairly on the broad ground of the con-
struction, the merits and platforms of both
parties,for the preservation of the Union and
the prosperity of the people." I will be most
happy to meet him more than half way on
this ehallange—I will go right into the dem—
ocratic camp with him, and invite his most
earnest attention to the third and tenth sec—
tions of the democratic platform, the con—
cluding senscnce of the third section of
which pledges the party to a “tariff for
revenue only." I ask every man that earn,
his living in any of the many factories, mills,
or work-shops to ponder well on this “tariff
for revenue only,” and also on the tenth
plank, which declares “in favor of free ships
and against any discrimination in favor of
monopolies Or corporations.” In the fore—
going language is stowed away one of the
worst threats that can be made against the
manufacturing industry of this country—it
is simply unadulterated free trade. A tariff
for revenue only is the same kind of tariff
they have in England, in Turkey, and in
Canada until within the last two years, and
in this country during the good old days of
democracy, when we imported most of Our
goods from the mills, foundarics and work—
shops of Great Britain. The republican
party, when it came into power, adopted a
different kind of tariff—m protective tariff,
which~favorcd our young and struggling in—
dustries and shut out the products of the
pauper labor of Europe.
When the committee that drew up the
democratic platform, with Mr. Wattcrson of
Kentucky, as chairman, talked about mo—
nopolies and corporations they aimed a blow
at such places as the Rock, the Stone and
American mills in Rockville, and thousands
of similiar establishments throughout the
country, that are now protected by the high
tariff of she republican party, against the
competition of the woolen and cotton mills
of England and Scotland. Indeed, the pros-
perity of Rockville, which has grown within
the last twenty years from a struggling
hamlet of some eighteen or twenty hundred
people to the proportions of a respectable
city of from eight to ten thousand inhabi-
tants, with its fine churches. schools, public
halls, warehouses, and magnificent mills and
factories, is only a chapter in the history of
the republican party; and go where you will
throughout New England, you will find the
same industry and progress. Every stream
that trickles down from the mountain side is
carefully nursed into a mill pond, with the
mill itself surrounded by a group of nicely
painted and well-furnished cottages in front
of whichthc butcher and grocer carts stop
daily. Can as much he said for the demo-
cratic or solid south, where they have not
enterprise or energy enough to manufacture
the revolvers and bowie knives‘with which
they kill each other. And this is the reason
they favor free trade, because they have no
manufactures of their own. Hence they want
to buy in the cheapest markets. Even
while I write this the democrats are circu-
lating a free trade pamphlet in Indiana and
throughout the west, :written by Augutus
Mongredicn of the Cobden club of London,
England, showing ' the American farmers of
the west ,and south the injury that the pro-
tective system inflicts on them, and2tc1ling
them they can save four hundred million
dollars every year by adopting a free trade
policy or a tariff for revenue only, and by
purchasing their goods ingEngland instead
of in New England. I want to say to the
readers of the Catholic that this Cobden club
has many Irish landlords on its roll Of mem —
bership, who are residents of London, who
wouldn’t contribute one shilling towards re—
lieving the distress in'Ireland, yetithey pay
for printing the pamphlets for the purpose of
teaching American farmers the principles
and the blessings Of free trade. ' '
Let patriotic and thoughtful citizens care—
fully examine the platforms and records of
both parties, and I have no ‘fear of the re-
sult. The record of the democratic party
during the last few years since they have got
the majority, to which your correspondent
so proudly points, consists of a series of:
..
.5”
blunders, including the memorable extra ses- i
sion of congress, during which they would I
have inflicted great injury on the country on '
the country had it not been for the vetoes of -
President Hayes. True, they took the duty
off opium, placing it on the free list; they
also reduced the tax on tobacco, and intro- I
diiced another bill for the reduction of the
tax on whisky, the latter with Wood’s re—
vised tariff bill, a sort of half—way house be.
tween protection and the free trade demo-
cratic platform.
I hear a great deal said amongst my
countrymen about the democratic party
being the friend of the workingman. I dis-
sent from this assumption and challenge any
man to point out to me where the demo—
ecratic party has done or attempted to do
anything for the benefit of the working
classes during the last twenty years. Do the I
imigrants who flock t ) our shores for homes 1
and employment go to the democratic or re- '
public-an states for such? Of the 250,0001
who arrived in this country during 1879,
their destination by states was as follows: i
Alabama 59 I
Georgia 108
South Carolina 82
Virginia 165 I
Massachusetts 4,827
Michigan 4,968
Minnesota 6,529
Connecticut 2,049
The forgoing figures taken from the quar—
terly report of the bureau of statistics, show
plainly where we find our friends. It is not
in the bigoted or prospective solid south,
whose very intolerance repels both capital
and labor from their fertile fields and favor-
ed clinic.
There is an old adage that has its moral
here. “Praise the bridge that carries you safe-
ly over,” and while I don’t claim that all re-
publicans are saints, or all democrats sinners,
yet I maintain that on the whole the patriot-
ism, intelligence and business interests of
the country arevbest represented by the re—
publican party, under whose fostering care
we are fast becoming the greatest manufac-
turing as well as the greatest agricultural
nation in the world.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
The adulteration of milk by starch may be
detected by this simple method: Add a few
drops of acetic acid to the suspected milk;
boil the milk and filter the whey. If the
milk contains the slightest trace of starch, a
single drop of iodine solution will give a
bluish tint to the whey.
It is well known that many articles made
of rubber are liable to become dry after a
considerable time, and to crack, grow brittle,
and lose all elacity. According to a Prussian
journal, this may be remedied by the use of
a simple mixture composed of one part of
aqua ammonia with two parts 'of water, in
which the articles should be immersed until
they resume their former elasticity, smooth-
ness and softness—the time rquired varying
from a few minutes to an hour.
EgyptOIOgists are endeavoring to organize a
society for the systematic excavation of an-
cient sites in Egypt.
The increasing demand and fast-diminish-
ing supply have led a private individuals to

At a recent trial in England, a gas compa-
ny was sued for damages, the plaintiff hav-
ing been rendered insensible by the escape of
the company's gas from a defective main.
The plaintiff alleged that the accident had
erablc period. As scientific evidence, Drs.
Tidy and Hastings gave the opinion that the
effect of inhaling coal gas is very transitory;
and that itmust quickly pass from the sys-
tem, leaving no ill effects behind. The jury
accepted this view of the case.
The suggestion is made that luminous
paint might produce some striking novelties
in textile printing.
Perfectly ripened seeds of different plants
vary greatly in their germinating force.
Some seeds, such as those of angelica, coffee,
etc., must be sown after they are collected;
others, like those Of the China aster, alder,
birch and sycamore, will rarely germinate
the second year; while others retain the
power for an unknown period. Although,
when kept under the most favorable condi-
tions, certain seeds may be made to produce
plants when very old,tbe average duration
of vitality in the seeds of our cultivated
plants has been found about as follows: At-
tichoke, five years; broad bean, six; beet
root, five; cabbage, five; carrot, four; cu—
cumber, five; lettuce, five; maize, two;
melon, five; onion, two; parsnip, two; peas,
four or five; radish, five; spinnach, five;
tomato, five; turnip, five; egg plant, seven;
endive, nine; parsley, three; strawberry.
three. Seeds containing the least albumen
retain their vegetative power the longest.
In hardness and binding qualities the an-
cient mortars surpass the modern; but the
supposition sometimes made that this superi-
ority is due to certain secrets of manufacture
or of manipulation, which are now lost, is
entirely groundless. The true explanation
is, undoubtedly, that all mortars improve
with agc,and attain their maximum hardness
and strength only after a very long time.
This is accounted for by the fact that a
chemical union takes place between the lime
and the silica of the sand composing "the
mass, and this is a process requiring many
years to complete. Comparative examina-
tions have shown that the ancient mortars
contain more silicate of lime than the mod—
ern. and are consequently much better in
quality.

The Russian battle fields of the year 1812
are still being explored for bones, which are
converted into bone-black. It may thus

and purified by the bones of his forefathers.
It has been estimated that the erosive ac-
tion Of water is reducing the height of the
North American continent at the rate of two
feet in every seven thous‘and years.
In the course of inquiries as to the phos-
phoresence of the sea. a German naturalist
has discovered that the phenomenon occurs
whenever sea fishes are brought into a three
per cent. salt solution. The luminosity be-
gins apparently in the eyes, spreading
gradually over the body and increasing in
intensity day by day, until, after a consider-
able period,the fish seems luminous through—
out. The phosphorescent substance is a
kind of mucus, appearing dirty white during
the day.
An English clergyman has devised a sim-
ple means of reducing the number of deaths
by drowning. In a portion of the coat,
waistcoat or dress of any person. a chemical
preparation is inserted, which,-on' becoming
wet, causes the garment to become quickly
inflated. This novel life preserver does not
alter the appearance of the garment, so that
it may be constantly worn without inconve-
nience. A thorough test is said to have
shown that it will sustain a person in the
water as long as he can 'fiossibly endure the
exposure—say forty-five or fifty hours.
An Alexandrina physician tells of an
English boy who has survived a fearful fall,

“Do you want some items about snakes ?"
asked an agriculturally rural looking gentle.
man of the Eagle's city editor the other day.
“If they are fresh and true," responded
the city editor.
“Exactly,” replied the farmer. These
items are both. Nobody knows 'em but me.
I got a farm down on the Island a piece, and
there’s lots of snakes on it. Near the house
15 a Wild about six feet deep. A week ago
my little girl jumped into the pond,and would
have drowned if it hadn’t been for a snake.
The snakes seen her,went for her,and brought
her ashore. The particular point about this
item is the way he did it.”
“How was it i’" asked the city editor.
“It was a black snake, about thirty feet
long, and he just coiled the middle of him.
self around her neck so she couldn’t swallow
any water, and swam ashore with his head
and tail. Is that a good item!"
“First-class.”
“You can spread it out, you know. At-
ter they got ashore the girl patted the snake
on the head, and it went off pleased as
Punch. Ever since then he comes to the
house regular at meal times, and she feeds
him on pic. Think you can make anything
out of that item ?”
“Certainly. Know any more ?”
“Yes, I got a baby six months old. He's
a boy. We generally sit him out on the
grass of a morning, and he hollers like a. bull
all day; at least he used to, but he don’t any
more. One morning we noticed he wasn’t
hollering, and wondered what was up. When
we looked, there was a rattlesnake coiled up
in front of him scanning his features. The
boy was grinning and the snake was grining.
Bimeby the snake turned his tail to the baby
and backed his rattle right into the baby’s
fist.”
“What did the baby do f”
- “Why he just rattled that tail so you could
hear it three-quarters of a mile,and the snake
lay there and grinned. Every morning we
found the snake there, until one day a bigger
snake came, and the baby played with his
rattle just the same till the first snake cam.
back. He looked thin, and I reckon he had
been sick and sent the other to take his place .
Will that do for an item ?"
“Immensely,” replied the city editor.
“You can fill in about the confidence of
childhood. and all that, and you might say
something about the blue-eyed cherub. His
name is Isaac. Put that in to please my
wife.”
“I’ll do it. Any more snake items ‘1’”
“Lemme see. You’ve heard of hoop-
snakes ?"
“Yes, often."
“Just so. Not long ago we heard a fear—
ful row in our cellar one night. It sounded
like a rock-blast, and then there was a hiss
and things was quiet. When I looked in the
morning the cider barrel had busted. But we
didn’t lose much cider.”
“How did you save it ?”
“It seems that the staves had busted out,
but before they could get away, four hoop—
suakes coiled around the barrel and tightened
it up and held it together until we drew the
cider off in bottles. That's the way we found
’em, and we’ve kept ’em around the house
ever since. We’re training ’em for shawl—
straps now. Does that strike you favorably
for an item P”
“Enormously,” responded the city editor.
"You can fix it upso as to show how quick
they was to get there before the slaves were
blown off. You can work in the details."
“Of course. I’ll attend to that. DO you
think of any more F”
“Ain’t you got enough ? Lemme think. 0
yes! One Sunday me and my wife was going
to church, and she dropped her garter some-
where. She told me about it, and I noticed
a little striped snake running along side and
listening to her. Bimeby he made a spring
and just wound himself around her stocking
or tried to, but he didn’t fetch it.”
“Why not?”
“He wasn't quite long enough. He jumpy;
down and shook his head and started of.
We hadn’t gone mor’n a quarter of smile
when we see him coming out of the woods
just ahead of us. He was awful hot and
tired, and he had another snake with him
twice as big as he was. They looked at my
wife a minute and said something to each
other, and then the big snake went right to
the place where the garter belonged. He
wrapped right around it, put his tail in his
mouth and went to sleep. We’ve got him yet.
We use him to hold the stovepipe together
when we put the stove up. Is that any use
as an item ?"
“Certainly,” said the city editor.
“You can say something about the first
snake’s eye for distances,and intellectuality :
when he found he wouldn’t go ’round, You
know how to do that better than me.”
“I’ll give him all the credit he deserves.
Can you tell us any more.”
“I don't call any to mind just at present.
My wife knows a lot of snake items, but I
forget ’em. By the way, though, I’ve got a
regular living curiosity down at my place.
One day my oldest boy was sitting on the
back stoop doing his sums, and he couldn‘t
get ’em right. He felt something against
his face, and there was a little snake coiled
up on his shoulder and looking at the slate.
In four minutes he had done all them sums.
We’ve tamed him so he keeps all our ac-
counts, and he is the lighteningest cuss at
figures you ever seen. He’ll run ups col-
umn eight feet long in three seconds. I
wouldn’t take a reaper for him."
“What kind of a snake is he ?"inquired the
editor, curiosly. _
“The neighbors call him an adder."
“0 yes! yes!” said the city editor, a little
disconcerted. “I've heard {of the species.
When did all these things happen ?”
“Along in the fore part Of the spring, but
I didn’t say anything about ’em ’cause it
wasn’t the season for snake items. This is
about the time for that sort of thing, isn’t
it F”
“Yes," chippcdjn the exchange editor ;
“you couldn’t have picked out a better time
for snake stories.”
A Cambridge boy after a week's absence
in the country, wrote to his mother: “I got
here all right and I forgot to write before;
it is a very nice place to have fun. A feller
and I went out in a boat and the boat tipped
over and a man got me out and I was so full
of water I didn’t know nothing for a good
long while. The other boy has got to be
buried after they find him. His mother
come from Chelsea and she cries all the time .
A hoss kicked me over and I have got to
have some money to pay the doctor for fixin'
my head. We are going to set an old barn
on fire tonight and I should smile if we
don’t have bully fun. I lost my watch and
I am very sorry. I shall bring home some
mud turtles and I shall bring home a tame
woodchuck if I can get ’em in my trunk.”

The “fearlessness” of Hancock’s epistle is
exciting the unbounded admiration Of the bold
Democracy. “See how boldly he stands by
the Constitution!” He does; and see how
nimbly he leaps over the free trade plank, in
the platform. The Constitution is ,a pretty
safe thing to strike out for; for even the
Greenbackers are not opposed to that. There
is not a word about financial questions, not a
word about tariff, not a word which could,
by the most liberal interpretation, he ta-
kcnas an indication of opinion on either
of these two leading questions of the day-
This may indicate “fearlessnes” but it looks
more like intellectual dreams—Tribune-
