' The curfew.
The curfew tolls ; the soothing sound
Floats o’er the hills and woods around.
And over streams and over dells
ow pass alike the solemn kuells,
Till in the distant mounts and hills
The rugged. gap with music fills,
0r upward to the sky above
Ascend and die its notes of love.
The curfew tolls; the soothing sound
Regonance in the hills hath found,
Whilst, more refined, its echoes creep,
And in the distance sink in sleep.
So die these notes in lonely dolls,
Where naught but cchoes’ music tells
Of other lands and other sounds,
In which the hamlet’s life abounds.
The curfew tolls; the soothing sound
Into our hearts 11 pathway’s found—-
Into the hearts which rapture swells
In answer to the charming bolls:—
And gently wakes from dormant state
The hidden love, the better trait,
So often there in Childhood's time, —
And now restored by curfew‘s chime.
Toll on. and curfew ! Toll away .
The ev‘ning hours, no lbnger guy,
Since memory, by mystic means,
Now paints afresh forgotten scenes.
Toll on, and heed not words of woes,
Nor pause at tears, nor seek rospose,
For in these saddest moods of mine
There is a tone akin to’thine.

Love’s VictOry.
The clouds were massed in crimson
glory in the west, and on them were fixed
the large, beautiful eyes of Lady F 101'-
ence Hummersley, who stood looking
from one of the many windows of her
new home.
It was the eve of her wedding day.
Scarce eight hours previouslyshe had
sworn to love, honor and obey Hugh
Hammersley, the wealthy manufacturer,
until death did them part. ~
Ho it was who now occupied her
thoughts, and shut t the splendid
landscape, gliuted with the glory of the
dying day. Natural enough for the bus-
band to fill heart and mind alike of his
bride, yet a frown contracts the low;
white brow, an ominous glitter shines in
the wonderful gray eyes, and a scornful
smile plays about the exquisitely c1u~ved
lips, while the little hand, grasping the ~
curtain, is ; tightly clenched. A sound
breaks her revery. She quietly turns, as
the door of the room is softly opened,
and the figure of a. tall, powerful man
darkens the threshold.
‘f You find all to your liking, Flor-
ence?” he asks, and voice and eyes alike
are tender as he puts the question.
“A moment ago—yes," she replied. “I
was alone.”
A shade darkened his face.
“Alone, Florence? Is my presence.
really so distasteful to you ?”
She shrugged her shoulders, and turn-
ed her face once more toward the" open
window.
With one stride he had reached her
side, and laid his hand upon her arm.
“Answer me!” he slid; and his tone
was a command. “ To-day you swore to
make my happiness. I know that the
daughter of one of England’s proudest,
if poorest, peers would gal: have steeped
to the 1316ch hand of e 'rich manu-
facturers son, had it n'bt been that the
fortunes of her house had sadly fallen;
I knew shewasno hypocrite, to feign a
love she did not feel. But I did not
know she. gave scorn for love, or hatred
for courtesy. She was a woman, I a
man.\ She bridged the social gulf be-
tween us when she became my wife.
Florence, do you already regret the
step ?"
“Bitterly! madly!” she cried, raising
her eyes to his, and letting him see all
the scorn and anger in their depths.
“You sayI was no hypocrite. I was,
but Iwill be so no longer. You need not
talk alone of my ambition. What of
yours? You had'mODey, not rank, not
social position. The latter I give you in
exchange for your wealth. The bargain
is an even one—let us cry quits, but let
us have no talk of love or heart, or senti-
ment; let us bury these in a. martial
grave, and on it uprear a monument of
distant courtesy. Dot not make me hate
you by forcing upon me the'rights you
have assumed Leave me my solitude,
unless when the world demands it other-
wise. I will not intrude upon yours.”
The young man’s face was of an almost
ghastly pallor as she finished speaking.
His hand dropped from her arm.
“Though I may boast no title, my
lady,” he said very slowly, “ I claim no-
bility's truest rank—the rank of a gentle-
man, to whom the wishes of the woman
he has made his wife are law. You have
not spared me in expressing yours. Al-
low me to ofi'cr 'you my deepest sympathy
for the cruel fate which tempted you to
make the sacrifice on which the church
this morning set its seal, and whichAI. for
the first time appreciate. Happily, mad-
am, the home to which I have brought
you is not a cottage. When you wish for
me, command me. Otherwise I beg you
will consider your apartments your castle,
at whose gates Hugh Hammersley will
never knock, either as suppliant or in-
trader."
He bowed lowas he ceased speaking
and slowly recrosssd the room. On its
threshold he paused. Did he expect her
to call him back, or at least to soften her
cruel words? If so, he was wrong. His
hesitation was scarcely perceptible. The .
door closed behind him—the young and '
beautiful woman was again alone.
An expression of surprise, of almost
admiration swept over her face, then the
old scorn blazoued there.
“At least he understands me now,’
she murmured, “but for a plebeian, he
did it w ”
Rank for money. It had beenafai)
exchange, the world decreed; and many
a house, hitherto an unknown land to the
young-inheritor both of his father's for-
tune aud the great workshops which cov-
ered acres of space in the very heart of
the great city, now welcomed him to its
fetes and its tables. Fair women smiled
upon him, and men who once would have
' tamed their backs, listened to his opin-
ions with attention which grew into re-
spect. ‘
If the young bride had expected. to be
ashamed of her husband, the expectation
was destined to disappointment On
every side she heard his praise, and the
frown vanished from her brow and the
scorn from her lip.
Never did he fail in courtesy toward
her;‘never did she express a wish left
unfilled. A cheque-book, with blank
cheques signed by his signature to be
filled up as she wished, lay on her toilet
table. Hitherto her life had been one of
almost penury, spite of her exalted rank.
A marriage dc consenance had been the sole
resort left her and she had unhesitatingly
availed herself of it.
Her beauty unrivalled even W31} the
old shabby setting, was now enha ced by
exquisite toilets and priceless jewels.
She had all that her fondest dreams had
pictured, yet day by day a restless, un-
satisfied longing was gnawing at her
heart, and she looked about in vain for
the unkn0wn something which should
satisfy it.
Once, as she and her husband were
driving home together from some bril-
liaut fete, remembering some remarks
concerning him which had reached her
car, she glanced toward him.
“A wonderfully handsome. man,” a
woman high in rank had said, and his
wife was compelled to confirm the ver-
.a moment.
“Hugh, are you not well 2” she sale,
and laid her gloved hand on his arm.
He shivered at her touch and'drew
himself hastily away.
At that moment the carriage stopped
and the footman threw open the door.
For the first time he permitted the man
to assist his wife to alight, he following
‘ her up the stairs and disopp‘earingwithin
his rooms. .
She mounted the steps slowly, and
when within her own apartments stood
still.
“He has learned to hate me,” she said
to herself, “ to hate me! and 1—"
The rest of the sentencewas left un-
finished.-
‘ 1
There was great excitement in‘ the
town. Th men belonging to Hugh
Hammersle s factories had struck for
higher wages, and he had refused their
demand. ' , .
It was a principle of right with him.
He was both just and generous in the
prices paid them, and he determined not
to be coerced into a stop his judgment
told him was but the first toward proving
that his workmen, not himself, might
hold the mastery.
The immense buildings were closed ;
the heavy looms were still ; the drinking-
piaces throughout the city were constantly
filled with .groups of sullen men, who
had already lost what the advance would
gain them in a year.
Days mergedin to weeks, and sullenuess
found voice, and voice merged into
threats, and the threats directed them-
selves against one mau. the master of the
works. ‘
“It’sall very well for him to ride in
his carriage while we starve," they said.
“ Let him look to himself. Hungry men
are de‘sperate." . -
At last. these threats reached his car.
For the first time since that memorable
day, almost a year before, he presented
himself at his wife’s apartments. As a
voice, in answer to his knock, bade him
cuter, he opened the door.
By a strange coincidence she was stand-
in the self-same spot, but a deep crimson
flush monntedto her forehead, and be-
trayed her surprise at this most unlocked-
for visit. She took a step forward to
meet him, but paused. He was the calm,
self-possessed one of the two.
“I would apologize for my intrusion, ”
he said, “but that-when I make known
its object you will understand its necess-
ity. I hear this morning that the men
are banding themselves into riotcrs. My
house will be the first point of attack. I
deem it best that you send your jewels
and valuables to the bank, and seek some
place of safety with any of ‘ your friends
whom you may prefer. "
“And you ?" -
“ I shall remain here."
“ But there is danger. "
has suspected me of cowardice, and as
my postishere, here I will remain. I
shall take all measures for my safety,
them meet whatever comes.~ In case of
the Worst-sand doubtless at this juncture
my life is threatened—I have left all my
'afi‘airs in shape, and need hardly assure
you, madam, that my wife’s future has
been my first concern.”
“ Thanks," she murmured, and bent
her head. '
He could not see the tear that glistened
on the lashes sweeping the lovely check.
“I have thought of Lady Ripley,” he
continued. “She, I am sure, will be de-
lighted to welcome you. Will you choose
her house ?"
" No.”
“Whose, then i" ‘
“ I shall remain here."
" It is impossible.”
“And why? You stay. Awife's place
is beside her hunb'aud.”
He smiled bitterly. '
“ This is scarcely the time, madam, to
remember your vows. Forget them, I
pray you, in this, as in all else. I must
insist upon your choosing some other
shelter.”
She shook her head.
“ I cannot,” she murmured, in a voice
so low that he could scarcely catch the
words.
“You cannot? Is there some reason,
then, I do not know 2”
“Perhaps, but one I, cannot confess.
Respect it, however, I beseech you, and
let me remain. "
“ I could scarcely hope, madam, to be
esteemed worthy of your confidence,
neither can I use force in compelling you
to leave this house, but I must exercise a
husband’s rights in demanding your
obedience. The danger is too obvious”
to permit you to share it."
“Be it so, then. Within an bout my
apartments will be vacant.”
“ Shall I escort you to your friend's
house i” -
“ No, I will, go alone.” She hesitated
“ You will promise me not
to run any unnecessary risk ?"
“ N 0 man should. trifle with his life—
it is Heaven’s gift,” he answered, and
abruptly left her standing with clasped
hands and heaving bosom. ,
“ What care he took to tell me why his
life was precious 1" she murmured. _“Yet,
do I not deserve it ?" Yes, but not that
it should be taken from me. Oh, Heaven
spare him! spare him 1" And she fell, in
bitter weeping, on her knees. .
It was midnight when the mob attacked
the house. There were loud cries for the
master.
“L‘iim speak 'to us= and we will lis-
ten 1" they shouted.
Within the barricaded windows Hugh
Hammer-slay heardand understood. Ho
advanced toward one of the windows,
and began unfastening the barriers. The
‘foremau of the words hastily seized his
arm.
“ You are mad l” he said. “I have de-
spatched a messenger for assistance.
Show yourself, and your life will not be
worth a moment’s-ransom. It is a. trick
to make you show yourself. "
" The master l the_master i" came the
cry.
“ They are right, " said Hugh. “ They
respect—they used t6 care for me. I will
talk to them. If they kill me, a man can-
not die in a better cause than in doing
his duty. My. duty lies in proving my
cause right. Let me go. " '
But at this instant a dress rustled at
the door. Hugh turned. His wife, pale
and beautiful, stood upon the threshold
of; the room. The his surprise could find
words, she was kneeling at his feet, her
arms clasped about him.
“My love! my husband !”’ she cried.
“You shall not gol Despisc me, hate
me, asyou will. I deserve it all. But,
oh, do not cast away thé life without
which mine could not exist 1" _
He looked at her as in a dream, . then
motioned for tips others to withdraw, be;
fore he lifted her from where she knelt.
“ How came you here ?" he questioned.
“ Poor child! the terror has turned your
brain." - . '
“ No, Hugh, no! I could not leave
you. I said that I would go, only that -I
might stay. ' I stayed because I love you
—because I have loved you from the very
day I become your wife, though I scorned
and refused to acknowledge the passion
which has Mtered me. I know that I
may never hope to win that which I
might once have won ; but let me know
that you live—let me but see you, hear
your voice, and even though you hate
dict.
mg, yet] may glean some happiness."
“True ; but no man hitherto, I think,’ ’
_ “Hate ydul" he whisper-Ed. ”My
love, my wife! You lave indeedmadc
are calling me, I must go. ”
“Then I will go with you," she re-
plied:
As the fastenings fell at the touch of his
hand, she stepped out on the balcony by
his side.
Along, low murmur-ran through the
crowd .below. No weapon, no armor
could have protected Hugh Hammersley
as did the presence of that young, beau-
tiful woman, who stood with hands
clasped about his arm. '
Silence fell as he spoke ,p. few earnest
words. Ere he had finished the tramp
was heard of approaching soldiers, but
they were not needed. The strike was
ended. Calm had taken the place of pas-
sion and reason of anger. But for, far
deeper than the external peace between
master and men, was that which had
stolen into Hugh Hammersley's heart-—
the heart where lay pillowed the fair,
haughty head, which like the restless
dove sent from the ard, had found at last
shelter and sweet rest.
MEN IGNORAN’I‘ or FIRE.
Says a writer in the American Naturalist:
I do not know of any but a single record
where natives of a newly-discovered
country did not know the use of fire
that one case was on Island Fauna Lou,
or Bodwich’s Island, discovered on the
29th of January, 1841, by the U. S. S.
Peacock, cdmmauded by Captain W. H.
Hudson, of the United States South Sea
Surveying and Exploring Expedition.
Captain Hudson relates : ,
“ The natives were at first very shy of
the boats, but the Hawaiians who were
in them soon induced. them to approach,
and to enter into trade, and finally en-
ticed them alongsidethe ships. .On com-
ing near they began a song or chant,
holding up their paddles and mats, and
‘shouting ‘kafilou tamatau.’ They re-
- semble'd the natives of Oatafu, or Duke
of York’s Is1and, where the same kind
of mats, eye-shades and ornaments, and
some were tatooed in the some manner. _
Some, however, were tatooed in a dif-
ferent style, being ornamented with a
variety of arrows on the forehead and
checks. They wdre all finely formed and
manly in appearance, with pleasing
counteneances that expressed good
nature.
”They were eager.enough for trade,
and soon disposed of all they had to ex-
change ; a few presents were made them,
but all the inducements failed to entice
them on boid. They appeared cheerful.
laughing heartily at anything that struck
them as ridiculous. ‘
“The populaiion of the island is es-
timated to be about six hundred souls,
most of whom dwell in the town.
' “There was no signs of places for
cooking, nor any appearance of fire, and
it is behaved that all their provisions are
eate'nraw. What strengthened this opinion
was the alarm the natives felt when they
saw the sparks emanating from the faint
and steel, and the emission of smoke
from the mouths of those who were
smoking cigars."
Thewriter of thisarticlewason board the
“ Peacock," and can vouch for the verity
of Capt. Hudson’s account of our inter—
views with the natives, and also that they
eat their entire food without cooking,
but also had the greatest dread of fire in
any form. We saw no traces of charcoal
or ashes in their village or town, and
we fully understood them as to their
food, and how it was taken. It consisted
entirely of cocoanuts and pandanus
fruits; fish, echini, and other products
of the sea ; the few sea birds mostly seen
there, were not regarded as food, and
even if they were, could not have been
easily obtained or relied on for supplies,
the population being large in proportion
to the island’s size.

Tar: PEASAN'I‘S or SWEDEN.
- The Swedes, as a nation, are enterpris-
ing, energetic, honest and thrifty. In-
temperance, which at one period prevail-
ed very extensively among them, has
been checked by wise legislation, and
crime has greatly decreased. More than
half of the population belong to the peas-
antry or band class, who are gradually
absorbing the landed property of the
kingdom. ‘The cottager or tprpar, who
hires his house and patch of ground, is
below the peasant in social rank. The
law fprmerly-prescribed the costumes for
the lower classes, but now they dress as
theyplease. Wooden shoes or leather
shoes with wooden soles are 00 monly
worn. Men, women and éhildren labor
together in the fields ; women do most of
the drudgery in the factories.
GOLD LEAF.
Leaves of gold may bebsaten into such
extremely thin leaves that they will
transmit light. Seen by reflected light
such films of gold retain the characteristic
golden color of, the metal ; but by trans-
mitted light they have a decided bluish
green. The thickneu of these films
must naturally be extremely small: What
the limit must 'be before the film be-
comes capable of transmitting suflcient
light tobe appreciable to the eyes cannot
’be absolutely fixed, as this will depend
largely upon the sensitiveness of that
organ, which quality varies with difi‘erent
individuals. We my state, however,
that modern experiments have shown
that a single grain of gold can be beaten
out so as to cover a span of seventy-five
square inches. which would give the film
a thickness (thinness would sound more
apprOpriate) of the one-867,650th part of
an inch. This fact affords a striking
illustration of the wonderful mallsability
of gold, 9. property in which it surpasses
all other metals. Microscopic slides con-
taining a small square of gold beaten out
so thin as to be transulcent, are favorite
objects for microscopists, and may be pur-
chased of dealers in such articles. The
ductility of gold—that is, its quality of
permitting itself to be drawn out into
wire, is quite as remarkable is its mallea-
bility. It is affirmed, for example, that
when a. cylindrical bar of silver is coated
with gold (by galvanic means, presuma-
bly) and drawn into the fine wire used in
embroidering housings, etc, which still
exhibit the golden coloration imparted to
them, a single grain of gold will cover a
length of 845. 6 feet of wire. We have
no doubt that films of gold might, with
modern scientific artifices, be prepared
of the thinness of the one-millionth of an
inch, since a continuous coating of gold
having such extreme thinness may be
readily obtained by galvanic means, the
only difiiculty in the way being the ex-
tremely delicate operation of removing
the film from the surface on which it is
deposited and transferring it to glass,
where it may be examined.

Why should it appear to me—why.

EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN PAPERS.
It is the fashion in England to declare
that, of all the newspapers in the world,
the English are the best. I have some
knowledge of foreign newspapers, and I
mu bound to say that in certain particu-
lars many of them are superior to ours.
German and Budsiau newspapers need
hardly be regarded, being, as they are,
under a. strict censorship, and in daily
fear of their own lives and the liberty of
writers. The Spanish press is entirely
without enterprise, and very trivial, ex-
cepting when it is being made use of for
the furtherance of state conspiracies.
' The Italian press is either trivial or venal,
or both; but the French press, while in-
’ferior in the quantity and quality of its
news is far superior even to the English
in respect to its comments and handling
of many subjects, and especially in re-
spect of its political leaders, some of
which rise to a high level of statesman-
ship very rarely reached in the colunms
of a London newspaper. The American
newspapers, again, show far greater on-
terprise, far greater readiness to under-
stand and to hit the taste of the moment
than the English journals. But, on the
whole, and taking into account the trust-
worthiness of its news, the dignity (often
exaggerated) of its attitude, and its attire
freedom from suspicion of corruptibility
by money, the English press may com-
pare creditably with any in the world.
In the search for, and the collection of
news, the conductors of English news-
papers have displayed very great on-
terprise and ability. To find out and to
bring together news is not by any means
so simple a matter as might be supposed.
Most men do not know news when they
seeit; thatistosay that they learnan
or see an event. pass before their own
eyes without it over counties to them
that for the rest of mankind that fact or
that event is new and unexpected, and
its publication calculated to satisfy their
curiosity—that, in fact, it is news.
AVERAGE DURATION OF A KISS.
“ What‘s the average duratiOu of a kiss ?”
was asked. .
Interest in that question languidly arose.
A proposition to investigate the subject was
made. All plans of procedure were rejected
as impracticable and untrustworthy, how-
ever, until somebody hit upon the idea of
going tothe Grand Central Depot at the
time of an arriving train, and accurately
observing the kisses unpremeditately made.
I am able to give the resulting data. Thirteen
kisses were measured as to duration from the
instant of contact to that of culmination.
Two of these were so instausous that the ob-
servers noted them at a hundredth part of a
second, (1 four others were rather guessed
than actually timed at a fiftieth. All these
were between woman. The next group of
live kisses were recorded at a twentieth.
The couples were divided as to sex, but
were made up of persons whose ties were
presumably those of consanguinity. Then
came a full half-minute kiss—that of a little
girl and a man ho was doubtless her
father. The longest of the thirteen was
over a minute, according to the timekeeper,
but the reliability of the record was ques-
tioned on the ground that there was a suc-
session of kisses instead of a continuous
:onjunction of the lips. This couple was
composed either of married folks or sweet-
hearts who felt sure.that they were among
total strangers. There was no hurry or re-
serve about their afi'ectiouate greeting.
“ And awfter all, " drawled one of the in-
vestigators, ” that was the only kiss in the
jolly lot, don't chew know, that was weally a
kiss at ail-#that was a deuced thing more
than a perfunctory operation. 'It seems to
me, dear boys, that circumstances ordinarily
make it impossible for us to observe kisses
in their highest—their highest—er-or—”
" Form of development 1" was suggested.
“ Yeas. thank you. Their highest form
of development.”—C’hioago Inter-pawn.
W
CHINESE MAGIC.
A gentleman who has lived among the
Chinese tells, as an illustration of their
abilities as magicians, an incident that took
place under his own eye, and in his own
room, where apparently there was no chance
for deception.
‘ The magician was naked from the waist
upward, and his only magical instrument
seemed to be a strip of white cloth twisted
about his loins. Taking a. dish of uncooked
rice, the juggler covered it with his mysteri-
ous girdle, squatted before it, and began his
incantations, which continued for half an
bohr. During this process his bare arms
were passing to and fro beneath the cloth,
and this was all the gentleman saw him do.
At last the linen was removed, and lo ! there
were six plates filled with cooked edibles of
various kinds, while a dish of boiled rice had
replaced the one containing raw rice.
Another, gentleman, describing how he
was deluded. says :—
“A juggler in the open street seized a boy
five or six years of age, dragged him strug-
gling into the circle, threw him on his back,
and, in spite of the child’s agonized cries
and the remonstrances of the people, up-
paxently nearly decapitated him. The victim
gradually became motionless, while the
blood streamed from- the wound. Finally
the magician removed the knife, muttered a
few words, called aloud to the child, Who
soon showed signs of life, and at last raised
him to his feet, when the boy appeared un-
harmed. Both actors in this ‘strange scene
were liberally rewarded by the crowd, and
the boy raft of to play with his wondering
companions.”

«man man AND worm. .»
I
At Guadalajara there exists an individual
having a scaly skin exactly like that of u
viper, even to the green color. He has,
besides, the viper habit of changing or
shedding his skin every year. The skin
comes off in a single piece, and not as might
be supposed, in parts. 011 the man's head
there is not a single hair. A sister of this
man, who died some time ago, manifested
the same phenomenon, and toward the close
of her life began slowely to grow blind,
owing to the vipsr's skin. encroaching on the
eyes to such an extent that she could only
see through a narrow aperture at each eye.
The same thing is now happening to the
brother. He can-scarcely see any object and
the head presents the repulsive aspect of a
viper. In Cuautla these unhappy beings
have been home: the “ viper man and
woman," and the phenomenon is attributed
to the fact that their mother ate an excess of
viper's meat to cure a disease of the blood.
In Cuba it is a commoh practice for people
to eat viper’s flesh as a remedy for blood
diseases. .

’By actual count there are~ 13,862
“Maiden Books” in the United States,
exclusive of Idaho and Washington Ter-

These rocks are widely distributed. but

sari HOUSTON AND BOOTH.
Gen. Sam Houston, who had just re-
turned from his first visit to Texas, was
walking up Pennsylvania avenue one
evening in the winter of 1834, when he
met with his old friend Booth, the tra-
gedian. After mutual exclamations of
surprise and salutation the trio ascsr- .
tained that they were both rooming at
Browne's Indian Queen Hotel and going
there they went toBooth's room.- Sit-
ting down they recounted the adventures
of their past lives, and as they industri-
ously circulamd the bottle many a. loud
shout echoed through that ball and
startled the watchman in the street as
they went their silent rounds; Astho
night were on their excitement increased
until, at the close of a thrilling story re-
lating to his strange career, Houston ex-
claimed :
“Now, Booth, lét’s have 'a speech to
liberty, one of those apostrophes to old
Roman freedom with which you startle
audiences." ' .
Had Booth been inclined to refuse, 'he
knew that his friend, when the mood
was on him, would not be denied any
request, however absured or difficult of
performance. But the tragedian had
himself entered into the spirit of his
companion, and, nothing loth, he re-
hearsed with magic power many of these
electric passages in defense of liberty
with which the English drama abounds.
Houston, whose memory as well as his
habits partook of the Indian character,
caught up the words, and with equal
force,
through each speech in regular succes-
sion. Thus they proceeded for a time,
and then again sat down to renew their
potutions and the story of their personal
adventure. Booth drank and listened
while the other told of his own clévation
'in his native State, of his disgust at civic
honors, of his home in the distant forest, ,
of the uncontrolled freedom of the red-
meu, of their stoic fortitude and match-
lcss heroism. Warmer] by- the recolleo
tipn of those thrilling scenes, he sprang
at last to his feet, and, in the tone of one
amid the battle's din, fighting against
the most fearful odds, exclaimed, “Now,
Booth, once more for liberty l " The
tragedinn dared not disobey. He ran
through, with all his usual energy, the
tale of Mexican thraldom, of the Spanish
conquest of that land, the dangers in-
curred by that army, their commander's
cxhortation before the battle and the
stubborn bravery of the native chiefs.
Before him stood at that lone hour, lis-
tening with an intensity of thought and
feeling which shone through his eyes,
lighted his face, strained every muscle
and started the sweat in great drops
from his lofty brow, one who. had all the
fiery spirit of a Cortez and ambition of a
Pizarro. Quick as thought he took up
the tale and repeated the words just ut-
tered by Booth, while the most critical
precision of tone and manner. As‘ he be-
came excited in the recitation his spirit
seemed to take fire, and with an air so
determined, so frightful, that it seemed:
the voice of one inspired, he exclaimed
at the close of a masterly extemporaneous
rimpsody:
“Yes! yes! I am madetorevci yet
in the halls of the Montezumas."
“Coming events cast their shadows be-
fore, " and although Houston did not re-
vel in the halls of the Montezumas, his
determination and energy of character
conquered the occupant of these halls
and wrestedr-from Mexico her fairest
State.
A PAINFUIA EXPERLWIENT
A Paris correspondent gives an ac-
count of a horrible experiment made by
M. Brown Sequard. That experimenter
wanted tosce whether life after a vio-
lent deach is susceptible of being re- -
called in an animal killed in ahealthy
state. He therefore beheaded a dog
familiar with his voice. The blood of
another dog was beforehand prepared to
be transfused into the arteries of the
head. No sooner was itinjected than
the inert head became animated, the
eyes opened, and on the professor calling
the dog by his name an attempt was
made to answer by a caressing look.
When the arterial blood wasexhaustcd
life disappeared. This painful experi-
ment was suggested by one made by Dr.
Labordc on Campi's head an hour and a
half after execution, and when presuma-
bly the cerebral matter had greatly lost
excitability. Nevertheless, when arterial
blood was injected into the head, the
mouth appeared to take a living charac-
ter, the eyelids Were raised, the pupils
contracted when ligu was flushed upon
them, and by an orifice in the skull it
was seen that circulation was momen-
tarily established in the intellectual con-
volutions. Dr. Inborde wanted to
operate on Cnmpi’s head directly it fell
into the basket, but the rule in virtue of
which a form of a Christian burial was
gone through at the Champ de Navele
cemetery stood in his way. It is to be
hoped that it will not be departed from
in order to solve incompletely a psycho-
logical question. A detached head could
not speak or make signs or replies to
questions put about sensations were
consciousness for a moment restored, as
‘ it was in the eased the dog. Moreover,
there is something inexpressibly shock-
ing in an experiment of this kind on a
human being.
. ,
much of reputation depends on the
period in which it rises. The Italians
proverbially observe that one-half of
fame depends on that cause. 'In dark“
periods, when talents appear they shine '
like the sun through a small hole in the »
window-shutter. The strong beam dazs
zels amid the sluroundiug gloom. Open
the shutter, and the general diffusion of
light attracts no notice. ’

i now To Dn'rn'c'r COUNTERFEI’I‘S.
! A circular issued by the United States
' Treasury Counterfeit Detector states that
, the new counterfeit ten-dollar Treasury
note, which was recently reported as of
the series of 1878, is of 1875 instead In
some respects this counterfeit is very well
g executed, while in others the work isvery
. bad. All Treasury notes of the seriesof
I 1875 are printed on the fibre paper
I known as the Wilcox patent. The fibre
i has thdappaarace of coarse black hairs
scattered through the .paper, without
regard to regularity, and may readily be
, seen in the open panel on the back of
E the note. The counterfeiters could not
i get this paper, but an attempt has
been made to imitate it by printing
black lines on the surface. The dif-
erence between the black lines and tho
I fibre can be readily detected by the use
a magnifying glass or by tearing the
paper across one of fibres. In the bor-
‘ der at the top of the genuine note, the
' word: “This note is a legal tender for
. ten dollars," are distinctly separated from
. each other. In the counterfeit the let-
1 ter “a" and word “lega ” form onoword
' as do the two words “for " and' “ten.”
4 The last four letters of the word “print-
ing ” in the line below the one referred
to are in italics in the counterfeit, while
the balance of the line is in roman. The
red mark used on the counterfeit is poor
and of a brick-red color, while the ink on
the original is of a bright carmiue.
The geometrical lathe Work in the up-
per left-haud corner of the counterfeit
surrounding the "X ” is good, while
that on the upper right-hand corner isvery
poor, and the lines in the work cannot
be traced as they can in the genuine
bills. On the back of the counterfeit the
words “This,” beginning the phrase
“This note is a legal tender; &c., is
printed "Tins.” ‘There are other slight
errors in the printed law on the back of
the counterfeit. There are no counter-
feit on the series of 1869, 1878, and 1880.

JOHN MORRISSEY m CONGRESS.
John Morrissey, the New York prize-
fighter, was a member of the Forth-first
and Forty-second Congresses, where he
behaved with great decorum. His ap-
pearance was that of an athlete, for he
was over six feet in height, very large in
proportion and with an unusual mus-
cular development. His eyes were
pleasant and deeply set behind bushy
eyebrows, but his nose was so badly mis-
shappen after his fight with Yankee Sul-
livan as to be the most conspicuous.
feature of his face. It was said that
when he first entered Congress he caled
on Speaker Colfax and with some em-
barrassment urged the acceptance" of a
box of fine Havana cigars. The gift was
received by the Speaker with proper
thanks, and after a little conversation,
during which Morrissey’s embarrass
ment seemed to increase, he said ab-
ruptly: “Mr. Colfax, I have a favor to
ask. Please put me on a committee
where I won’t have any work to do, Or
any reports to make." His request was
gratified. When, in compiling the Con-
gressional Directory, I asked Mr. Morris-
sey for the incidents of his life, on put-
ting the’ question. “What is your oc-
cupation?" he replied, with a smile,
“prize-figthter, ” but immediately added, ”
“no, I have a boy to whom I wish to
leave a good name. It is for his sake
that I have ceme here to Congress, that
my manhood may atone for the follies of
my youth, and you may put me down as
a moulder in an iron foundry! ” His
deportment as a Representative was
courteous and dignified, and, although he
did not make speeches, he never blun-
der-ed when he came to vote.
SOMETHING ABOUT ROSES.
. There is an infinite variety of stories
about roses. Frederick the Great was
walking in the garden of Potsdam with
Voltaire, and asked the amusing French-
man for a rose. He picked one and pre-
sented it to the king, with the remark
that it had grown beneath his majesty’s
laurels. ' Luther had a rose gravcu on his
seal. At Santiago, inChili, wheneyer a
stranger is received in the house each of
\the‘l'adie's o’f ' the family offer him a rose.
T6 show the preference which Madame
de Genlis entertained for old men above
old women' she‘wus‘fond of saying that
oaks improved with time, but ’roses
faded. It may be mentioned. in passing
that Madame de Ge'nlis has the credit of
having ‘introduccd'the first moss roses
ever seen in France. Ainong the Greeks,
the Romans, and 'tho'Gauls'lpnrsl’ey, ivy,
myrtle,'and races were looked upon as
valuable remediesfor pcoplo'who had
drunk mot-swine than wasr‘good for
them. In' Capua roses were employed
.by the local medical men as tonics, good
for stomachs fatigued ‘by over-eating.
A dedoétion of roses‘ was supposed to
have ‘ excellent astringent properties.

Sleep after fatigue, and health after disease, are
two of the sweetest experiences known to man.
Fourteen years is a long time in which to suffer,
yet Mr. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Mass, had led a
miserable life for that period through the prcasence
or stone in the bladder. That he sought in an di-
rections for a cure is an almost superfluous state-
ment. He did obtain temporary relief, but nothing
more. Last January he called on Dr. David Ken-
nedy, of Rondout, N. Y., who said, after examina-
tion: “Mr. Lawler, you have stone in the bladder.
We will tlrrt try DR. DAVID KENNEDY’S FA-
VORITE REMEDY before risking an operation.”
A few days later the following letter passed through
the Handout post-cities :' ‘

claim that KENNEDY’s FAVORITE REMEDY is

REMEDY also cured him of rheumatism.

Dr. Kennedy—Dear Friend :—Thinkiug you
might like to hear again from an old patient, I am
going to write you: It is now 'threb and a. half
years since first I went to you. As I told you then
I was troubled with Kidney Disease for about tif-
teen years, and had seven of the best doctors to be

visited you and commenced taking, your “Favorite
