JOHN OR AY'S TRIAL.
John Gr :v wm going home one night, l
And the snow on the ground was cold and i
white, '
The wind moaned chill through the pinetieed* \
ranks. |
And the river had overflowed its banks: !
The ice-cakes j-aced down the swollen tide.
And the current was strong, and the Waters
wide;
And out in. the midst of the stream ke heard, j
As faint as the pipe of a frightened klrd,
Tlie cry of a child. He turned in a trice,
And saw a bathe ufloa; on the ice.
The stream with conne.-ting ice was p icked,
But with Grav to think was at (Rice to act.
Hethrewef his warm great-cat to leap.
Undaunted, iu'o t e icy deep,
And bravely he swam, but thr ti.ic \va strong, 1
And his brawnv anus were tired ere long.
Three times the current bo o him ashore,
And he felt that he could sttuggie no more.
•‘Why should I risk my life?” he said:
•‘Why should I risk my children’s bread?
My babes art 1 at home, ar.d asleep, and safe—
Shall I give ray life for this wretched wait?”
But the thought made the lather’s heart beat
warm.
And he sa ; <l: “Once again I will brave the
storm !’*
And he plunged in the river once again.
And manfully struggled with might and main.
He reached the ice. and he saved the child,
And he swam to shore through the tempest
wild;
And then lie looked, in the pale moonlight,
On the tittle face that was cold and white,
But alive—and be fell on his knees in awe,
For the face of his voungesr child he saw.
And reverently he bared his head :
•‘Thank Ihavtul I did not fail.” he said.

Origin of Familiar Phrase*.
“ You cannot say ‘ boo !’ to a .goose. ”
When Ben Jonson, the dramatist, was
introduced to a nobleman, the peer was
eo struck with his homely appearance
that he exclaimed, “ What 1 you are Ben
Jonson ? Why you look as if you could
not say ‘ boo !’ to a goose.*’ “'Boo 1’ ex
claimed the witty dramatist, turning to
the peer and making his bow.
“ He’s a peg too low,” “ Taking a man
down a peg,” may be traced to the peg
ging, or marking the drinking cup,
which was introduced by St Duustau to
obeck the intemperate habits of the
times, by preventing one man from tak
ing a larger draught than his compan
ions. But the device proved the means
of increasing the evil it was intended to
remedy; for the most abstemious were
required to drink precisely to a peg or
pin, whether they could soberly take
ench a quantity or not.
“ Biue Hen” is the nickname given to
the State of Delaware. The origin of
the term is this : Capt. Caldwell, ail
officer of the First Delaware regiment in
the .Revolution, was very fond of game
cocks, but maintained that no cock was
truly game unless its. mother was a
“ blue hen.” As he was an exceedingly
popular man, his regiment was called
“The Blue Hen,” and the term was af
terward transferred to the State and its
inhabitants.
There’s many a slip
’Tween the cup and lip.
The ancient Greeks had the following
story as to the origin of this proverb:
A King of Thrace had planted u vine
yard, when one of his slaves, whom he
had much oppressed in that very work,
prophesied that lie should never taste of
the wine produced in it. The monarch
disregarded tlie prediction, and when at
ou entertainment he held a glassful of
liis own wine, made from the grapes of
that vineyard, lie sent for the slave, and
asked him what he thought of his
prophecy now. To which the other re
plied, “ Many things fall out between
the cup and the lip,” and scarcely had
he delivered this singular response be
fore the news was brought that a mons
trous boar was laying waste the favorite
vineyard. The ting, in a rage, put
down the cup which he held in his hand,
and hurried out with his people to at
tack the boar, but being too eager the
boar rushed upou him and killed hiui
without his having tasted of the wine.
Yankees in Mexico.
• Tlie largest and most important real
estate transaction ever made in the city
of Mexico, probably, was that closed on
November 22. T’iiomas R. Lewis, of
New Y’ork, purchased for capitalists of
that city a tract of land, over 5,000 lots
of 25 by 100 feet each, the price being
oyer $500,000. The land lies to the west
of the city, extending to the castle of
Chapultepec, once the site of Monto
zu ilia's palace, for 300 years the residence
and court of the viceroys of Spain, and
lastly tli£ military college, or Wqtl
Point of Mexico. The lauu is admirably
situated, froutiug over 4,000 feet on the
Paseo de la Reforma on the north, and
6,430 feet ou the southern side. The
slope is sufficient to give an excellent
drainage, which is a matter of the ut
most importance iu the city of Mexico.
The view is picturesque, and the climate
will insure a green sward, and a mag
nificent grow th of tropical plants. The
company intend to begin by erecting an
American hotel, with all modern im
provements and conveniences, on tlie
I’aseo—the Broadway of the city. They
will sell no unimproved lots, but will
build superior residences along the Paseo
to be sold on the annual payment plan.
A number of Mexican gentlemen are al
ready in negotiation for residences. The
company expect to have their purchase
the most fashionable part of the city in a
few years, as they claim it will be the
healthiest and most beautiful. Mr.

A Man’s Body Pierced by a Pin.
Two weeks ago last Saturday night
Englebert Hartmann, a watchmaker in
tlie employ of Jeweler C. W. Freeman,
after having thrust abrooeh-p'n into his
body without experiencing any serious
effects, threw himself iu front of a mov
ing locomotive in the yard of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Com
pany. He was rescued ar.d taken to
the hospital. He told the hosuital
physicians that he had attempted to kill
himself by forcing a large brooch-p n
into his body just below the heart. The
pin was probed for, but could not be
found. On Saturday, Dr. Connell, the
attending physician, while examining
Hartmann, came to the conclusion that
the pin had worked itself through the
man’s body to the back. He made a
•mall incision and removed the pin. It
was five inches in length, and Hart
mann said that he made it himself. It
went in but a little di>tance belo the
point of the heart, and came out of the
back directly opposite. Hartmann is
fott'ng along nicely, and appears to
are no particular desire to take hiso.vn
life. —Scranton (Fa. ) Republican.

A Leper.
, Salem is in consternation over & case
of leprosy. The victim is Charles Derby,
who contracted the disease in the Haw
aiian Islands. Excluded from the coun
try, he wont to San Francisco and finally
to Salem. His first knowledge of the
fact that he was a leper oune with the
discovery of a blotch of Derhaps the
sire of a ten cent piece on his left tem
ple. Slowly, but surely, has his ease
grown worse, until noxv there is a large
scale on either side cf the uose, which
organ is much ehl trged by the disease,
while the ears are swollen, one foot is
badly infected a host the toes, and one
hand has bcea attacked. Small tuber
cles appear on different parts of the face.
In rubbing his hands together as one
would do in washing a perfect shower
of white particles falls to the floor. His
voice is hoarse and his throat sore. One
eye is in a frightful condition, and the
Other, from which the vision has not
entirely fled, is fast following the course
of its companion. And yet he suffers
no pain. The numbness characteristic
of leprosy holds perfectly in his case as
in every other. Thrust a pin, a needle
or a sharp knife into his hands, feet or
face and he feels it not. Even his eyes
cause him no inconvenience, save the
horrible thought constantly in his mind
that the light of day will to him very
soon be shut out forever.
He eats all kinds of food with a relish,
sleeps soundly and well, moves about
with comparatively little inconvenience,
and to some extent takes
care of his diseased limbs without out
side help. Great care is used by his
attendant tb see that none of the uteu
sials or clothing used by the leper are
handled by other persons, as inoculation
might occur, in which case the party or
parties so inoculated would inevitably
become victims of the frightful disease.
Aside from methods such as these, there
is thought by authorities on the subject
to be no danger of a communication ol
the disease from one person to another.
In fact, at Honolulu, where the senten
ces of banishment are so surely and sc
impartially carried out, there seems tc
be nq hesitation on the part of any per
son to converse with a leper, as long
as care is taken not to come in
contact with the person of the unfortu
nate. Banishment becomes necessary
from the fact that whatever the leper
uses or handles is liable to votivey the
contagion through an abrasion of the
skin or otherwise to the next party
handling the article. Consequently if i't
is dec ded to keep this Salem leper in
that city, a person will be engaged foi
the special purpose of taking care ol
Derby, and of everything that he uses.
Perhaps an effort will be made, how
ever, to secure his admission to a colony
of lepers in New Brunswick, where hi
could receive better attention that
almost anywhere else.— Spring/icU

l uma Hunters.
The Ttgrcros are ugly, squat Indian?,
with big heads, small grave eyes, and
a stupid type of mouth. They all came
from Nicaraguan territory, for there are
no Indians in Costa Rica, saving the
wild trite g of Guatusoan l Talaniauca—
so, at least, we were assured. The lat
ter, I fancy, aue known well enough. It
is not dangerous for a peddler to visit
them, and ihose anxious to learn their
appearan; c and their manners will find
published material —that is to say, 1
think so, lor our travels neve ■ led u<
near their country, and, personally, 1
know nothing. The Guntusos oi
l’ranzos are much more savage, anil no
man living in that day. 1 can not.tel!
how it be now, could give serious in
formation regarding them. Acouplool
spears, one long aad one shorier, made
the equipment of the Tigrero. Theii
dogs—big slouching, light-colored ani
mals—were evidently related to the
< oyote. Dangerous rather than savage,
not prone to hark, they perform the role
of house dogs badly. The Don assured
ns that puppies will not bark a!
all unless taught by others. But they
learn at once, thus differing from the
thorough bred coyote, which can only
howl and whimper in the first gi Dera
tion of dome-Hkilty, and seldom suc
ceeds in learning a true burly until IT
third. We asked why a dol'af was
granted for a slain puma and but hall
a dollar for a jaguar, seeing that tlie
latter animal is much more dangerous
and destructive. It appears that in tlie
fashion of hunting to which th:-se In
dians obstinately adhere, tlie less terri
ble beast causes the greater loss of life.
Tigreros go in couples, the head m n :n
advance with his two epears, the subor
dinate following with liis machete oi
chopping-knifc. The jaguar is easily
tracked, ad lie does not go far when
roused. So soon as it is thoroughly
conveyed to his mind that these intrud
ers wish to see him | ersonally, he turns
with a roar that aiwa. s gives sufficient
warning to such practiced shikaris. A
mo:i ent afterward he comes trotting up.
The foremost Indian kneels, lioldin: a
spear in either hand, the long one furth
est out liis companion stands at the
side. The jaguar does not pause, but
gathering himself up cleaves the air in
a m’ghty bound, liis fore legs wide
asunder, and claws hooked to rend.
Very seldom does it happen that the
long spear fails to transfix his unpro
tected chest or the shorter one his
throat. —Bel gr avia.
Born Grown Up.
A Paris correspondent of the Newark
Advertiser writes : In this precious ago
children are bom grown up. Little girls
are dressed like their elders, and before
they reach their teens are found snatch
ing a fearful joy in stolen readings of
three-volume novels. Boys have here
tofore been-kept youthful so far os dross
is concerned, and only when called upon
to do duty as pages at a fashionable wed
ding and attend a bride to the altar have
they gone in for unusal dress. But in
Paris simplicity goes for very little, and
the more artificial life can be made the
better. Little boys of six or nine years
old are now attired as court valets, and
do pretty manners in the mothers’ sa
lons. The dress is a coat of dark cash
mere or cloth, dark blue or chocolate
colored. It is square cut behind, fitting
very closely into the back, round collar
and small facings, and very high in the
neck and buttoned with cut steel or sil
ver buttons. From the waist the coat
opens, slanting off so as to show a long
satin waistcoat, with deep fUp3 and
pockets. Knee breeches and silk stock
ings and shoes with silver buckles, on
full dress occasions, complete the dress.
All that is wanted is a powdered wig to
make little boys look as if they were the

The Modified Instiucts of A Blind Cat.
The family favorite who3e misfortunes
have adored an opportunity to observe
the workings of instinct under diffi
culties is a noble specimen of the genus
Pelts. “Dido” is his name—given for
simple euphony, without regard to gen
der. During • the four years of his life
he has never been known to do anything
wrong, unless it be to fight most des
perately against all feline intruders. In
someone of his many encounters, Dido
met with an injury in one of his feet
that made a surgical operation neces
sary, from which he recovered, but
shortly afterward went totally blind.
A cataract was formed over each eye,
by which,, as repeated experiments
proved, vision was thoroughly obscured.
This calamity came on suddenly, and
placed the cat in circumstances not
provided for by the ordinary gifts of in
stinct. What to do with himself was
plainly a problem hard to be solved,
lie would sit anu mew most piteously,
as if bemoaning his condition; aiil
when he attempted to move about,’he
met with all the mishaps that the reader
■will be likely to imagine. He 'tan
against walls, felhdown stairs, stumbled
over sticks, and -when once on the top
j rail of the fenoe he would traverse- its
: entire length seeking in vain for*, safe
! jomping-off place. On being called, he
I would run about bewildered, as if not
' knowing whence the voice came nor
j whither he should go to find dhe one
■ calling. la short, Dido’s lif-seemed
hardly worth living, and we ware seri
ously plotting his death, whcc the cat
himself clearly concluded that foe must
make his other senses atone for'the loss
of sight.
i It was very curious to watek his ex
periments. One of the first -of these
was concerning the art of going down
stairs. Instead of pawing the tir, as he
had been doing on reaching the top
stop, he went to one side till he felt the
banisters touch his whiskers, and then,
' guided thus, lie would descend safely
| and at fuli speed, turning into the hail
i on gaining the last step. One by one
j he made each familiar path a study, de-
I termined the exact location of each
| door, explored anew all his own haunts,
and seemed bravely resolved to begin
! life over again. The result was so un
expectedly successful that we were de
ceived into the notion that sight had
been restored. But by placing- any ob
stacle in the path, and then calling him
eagerly to his customary feedbag place,
it was evident that he was entirely
blind, for he would run with full force
against the box or other obstruction,
and then, for time afterward, 'he would
proceed with renewed caution.
Dido’s “voice is still for war,” and
j his blindness does not make him any
less successful in his duels with in
i tmders. He even goes abroad an quest
of adventures, and eomes safely homo
again.
His value as a inouser does not seem
to ba in the least diminished. One of
my experiments as to his capacity in
this direction came near costing me
, dear. I had heard the gnawing of a rat
• in an old closet where there lay a quan
, tity of newspapers. Here it was decided
to leave Dido over night, and while ar
-1 ranging the papers for the purpose, my
| hand was suddenly caught by the claws
and teeth of what at the moment seemed
like a small tiger. Poor Dido! He
really looked ashamed of his blunder in
mistaking my hand for liis anticipated
victim. Fortunately the papers served
as a shield, or the injury inflicted might
have been more serious. I may add that,
on opening the closet the next morning,
there was Dido mounting guard over a
slain rat as big as ever spoiled good
provisions or tried a housekeeper’s
temper.
; It is well known that, the house-cat
will find its way back from distant places
to which it lias”beeqearriedblindfolded;
and how it performs such feats natural
ists have never satisfactorily explained.
The theory accepted by some of them is
tnat the animal takes note of the suc
cessive odors encountered on the way,
that these leave as distinct a series of
images as those we should receive by
the sense of sight, and tha’, by taking
them in the inverse order from that in
which thev were received, ho traces his
homeward route.
Bat, in the oat now described, the
sense of smell is by no means acute, as
has been proved by a variety of meth
ods; and, moreover, although, a3 one
might say, perpetually blindfolded, he
quite uniformly chooses the shorted
road home, without reference to the
path he may have taken on leaving the
house. Curious to see how far this
homing instinct would extend, I took
advantage of a fall of snow that, wrap-*
ped under its mantle every familiar ob
ject, eonocalod all the paths, and dead
ened every odor and sound. Taking
Dido to a considerable distance from the
house, and making a number of turns to
bewilder him, I tossed him upon a drift
and quietly awaited results. The poor
creature turned his sightless orbs this
way and that, aud mewed piteously for
help. Finding, at length, that he was
thrown entirely on his own resources,
he stood motionless for about one min
ute, and then, to my amazement., made
his way direotiy through the untrodden
snow to the house door—which, it is
needless to add, was promptly opened
for the shivering martyr to scientific in
vestigation, to whom consolation was
forthwith offered in a brimming bowl of
new milk.
My conclusion, therefore, is that Wal
lace’s ingenins theory of accounting for
orientation by what he calls “brain
registration,” will not explain what has
been described; but that the mysterious'
homing facaltv is probably independent
of such methods ol gaining knowledge
as have been ordinarily observed, and is
analogous to the migratory instinct con
trolling the long flights of some species
of birds.— H. C. Hov-ey, in Scientific
American.

A ska-ions ,)et.
During the past winter throe oilizons
of the Bohemian town of Neintadt met
every night, for social purpose i in the
public roam of tha best inn. The
friends were the Judge of the District
Court, Franz Rychilk, Kape’meister
Bauer, and a merchant named Ivohn.
One evening in merry humor they swore
a common oath to remain united in
death as well as in life, and each mem
ber of the guild pledged himself that if
one of the brotherhood died he would
follow hiui into the invisible world with
in the space of fourteen days at the
longest. The landlord, who took the
oath as a mere joke, wished to make a
fourth in the league, which was granted.
As all the men were under middle age
and in sound health, they felt secure
that the first death wa3 a long way off.
About six weeks ago, however, the Dis
trict Judge, Rychilk, died in his sleep
fiont the poisonous fumes of a defective
stove in his bed-room. The three sur
vivors were deeply grieved, but none of
them regarded the oath made under
the influence of wine as anything more
serious than an evening’s passing jest.
Twelve days later, however, tlie mer
chant, Kohn, was seized with inflamma
tion of the lungs, from a neglected cold,
and in two days he was dead. A horror
laid hold upon the two survivors, and
the kapelmeister, Bauer, took to his
bed, lay ill for several days, and died on
the tenth day. At last accounts the
landlord was still in good health, though
terribly oppressed by the fear of sudden
death. North German Gazette.
The First Mormon Marriage.
The first “celestial marriage” oo
eurred by. stealth, on the banks of the
Mississippi, near Nanvoo, 111. Joseph
Smith “sealed” to James Noble a second
wife. Noble’s first wife soon died of bro
ken heart, and tlie second wife went in
saue and also died. When Smith mar
ried Noble, the latter also married Smith
to a second wife. The first Mrs. Smith
clung to the prophet until a mob killed
iiim, and then married a Gentile, and at
last ncconnts was sjill living at Nauvoo.
In defiance of polygamy tho examples of
Abraham, Isaac, Jaoob, Moses, Joshua,
David and Solomoir are cited. In oor
roboration of the “ Book of Mormon ”
we are pointed to tho bnrned cities of
Palenvue andUxmal, in Central America;
to the mounds in tho Mississippi valley,
and toother well known vestiges of a pre
historic race. When a good Mormon
dies who “ has lived up to his religion,”
and has had a dozen or two wives and
fifty or sixty children, he does not be
come a mere angel, like an ordianary
Christian—he becomes a god, with a
world of liis own to reign over. A Mer
man wife who opposes tho polygamous,
marriage of her husband goes to hell
and is “destroyed.” A Mormon who
obeys the mandates of tlie church in
most respects, but neglects to “go into
polygamy,” becomes a mere angel,
who must boa kind of celestial servant
to the gods and other angels. His wile
must share the same humiliating fate.
Thedootrine of “blood atonement” is
simply" this : If an apostate’s throat is
cut, the Bpilling of his blood upon the
ground will save his soul. If he is left
to die a natural death his soul will go to
hell. A great many apostate souls have
been saved in Utah. This, in substance,
is the*Mormon religion.

The Fredericfas/on (New Brunswick,

admire the persistent efiterprise mani
fested by the owners of St. Jacobs Oil
in keeping tlie name before the public.
It received a big ‘send-off’ in the House
the other day, by the Hon. Mr. Perley,
who warned bis colleagues in the Gov

receiving two bounties for one nose; the
judicious use of the Oil causing rapid
growth. ”
