Maggie Dunne wan Htaiidini; on the terraco in the rectory garden at Wit- tlealcigli, gazing over tbe lovely bay, when ft youiig man came :1hh and gently placel bin bunds over her blue eyeH. 'Frank, how dare you ?" Hlie ex claimed ; "let me go thin instant." Tbe bauds were immediately with drawn, and tbe young girl turned round, half angrily, to encounter the rude disturber of her reverie. "Why, Algy, in it you ?" How did you get here .' I thought you were at Matcomlie. Thin la a mirprlno !' nbe addoil ; "papa will be ho glad, ami Frank, too." "Aud you, Maggie ?" said Algy, as he Hhook bands with her warmly, venturing uihjii a genUo preuHiiro of her taper fingent. "Of couno, I am delighted, particu larly as Jessie Ilamblyn Is coming to day. You recollect her '."' "Oh ! perfectly ; she used to Ik my ideal of beauty until" He Htopiwd. "Until that terrible attack cost her her eyesight, you mean. Yes, indeed, she was a lovely girl. 1 admire your tawte, Algy. "I did uot exactly mean that," he replied : "I meant " "Never mind, just now, but tell uie, like a good fellow, Ih that the smoke of the steamer over there? If ho, I must go and tell Uobert to gel tho poiiy-chabio riy." Algy shaded bis eyes from the glare and bent all his power of vision uiion the tiny cloud on the horizon. It was indeed a fair scene uiiou which hi eyes rested. Tlie blue wa tera of the bay were Decked with foam, as the brisk, breeze met thereat less sea on the Hood-tide. Till now, Maggie had in vain Bought fora token of tbe vessel, and witlt Hbaded eyes bad watched the whole expanse, at times almost despairing. Kul now alt doubt wan removed. Tho black streak grew more and more defined ; a long trail of amnko extended far across the blue distance. "Come along," aaid Maggie, "we must tell papa and Frank. They will be astonished to see you. By the way, do you generally greet your lady friends at Matcombe as you did me just now ?" Algy blushed as he replied : "Of course not; besides, I have no particu lar menus there." "Oh ! Not Miss Lullrel 1 and Miss Alic is it Miss Alice Carrlngton ? Fie, Algy, lie ! what would they say to hear you disown them thus V Hut hero is Frank." As she spoko her cousin, Frank Carson, appeared. He walked slow ly and with a peculiar, watchful gait, but he turned his head neither to the right uor left, as ho approached the merry pair. "Well, Frank, old fellow, how are you V" exclaimed Algy heartily, as he extended his hand. "Why, Algy Vernon, back already! We thought you were studying medi cine, or cutting enplo's legs oil" to keep your band in for surgery. Oh, you truant !" The young men snnou nauus warm- ly-. ... "Have you been here long this time ?" asked Algernon. 'About a fortnight," was the reply; Maggie's school-chum is coming I am very anxious indeed to make her acquaintance. I understand she's lovely not that her good looks mat ter to me" Algy was about lo make a reply when Maggie made him a sign not to speak. Will you come ana meet her, Frank? We are going." "Of course: I shall be delighted to welcome her. I'll go and get some (lowers for hora bunch of roses will do." As he spoke be walked quietly away. "What did you mean by telegraph ing to me lu that luyslerious man ner ?" asked Vernon. "Frauk doesu't know that Jessie is blind now, so don't tell him. She may recover her eyesight, the doctor says. 1'erhaiis your skill may prove of use." "Not much, 1 am afraid," said Al gernon, Hikhiug. "J'.tit I've made the eyes my study, too. Now your eye" Jiut whatever compliment he in tended to convey was cut short by Maggie's sudden departure. la half an hour the party were all ready to proceed to the wharf. The pony-chaise led tbe way at a brisk pace, while a cart for the visitor's lug gage followed more soberly. i lie sioamer soon came alongside, and Maggie's quick glance at once de scried her friend. "There she is, Algy, and liarton is with her, as usual. What a kind creature she is !" ilarton recognized the party at the same moment, and lulu her young mistress, who turned round and wav ed her band. Jessie Hamblyn must have pos sessed no ordinary share of beauty before tbe fell ravages of small-pox had deprived her of sight. Even now her almost classic features were very striking, aud her oened lids at a dis tance did not betray the terrible trial to which sho bad been subjected. Fortunately, the disease had not marked her to anv perceptible extent, and, had her eyes been spared, her beauty would have remained almost unimpaired. Her tall, well-formed figure was drawn up as if in defiance of the pity she knew was felt for her, and of many kind expressions which her quick sense of hearing caught and resented. At first she bad rebelled terribly against the will that bad mecifully chastised her, but lately she had bowed her head to the decrees of Providence, and almost without a murmur. "How glad I am to see you !" she exclaimed 1 mean, to know I know 1 am with you once again, dear Maggie ! llnur b I n,t onll nru HI I "Dearest Jessie," whispeied her friend, "we are all delighted you have come, and looking so well too. Here are two young gentlemen waiting to be Introduced ; though I think you have met Algy Vernon before." "Oh, yes ! I recollect Mr. Vernon quite well. We had a famous picnic to tbe Olen, I think it was." of "'J'lite riht. Mi1- Hamblyn. Wtiatariiernoryyi.il Pave : " rep.:el Vernon, h hf liinfe (nl4 with her.

"I say," be I wblsred, "what a beautiful voice she has gut, basn t she? ou 11 be failing In lovf, old fellow, eh ?" "Not I," replied hi friend; "I'ai not equal to a goddess like Miss Haru- l.lyu.

Hlie was delighted with those roses, I can tell you. What a thoughtful fellow you are ! I uever can do those pretty thing"." "Then, friend Algy, take a lesson now ai.d a rose next time." They all drove rapidly back to the rectory. Mr. Iieniie met thbin on the ftei-H. Weli:.. hie to Wbittlesleigh," be exclaimed, iu bis cheery voice. "Jun kie, my dear, I am delighted to see you. Come in ;" and pressing a fath erly kiss on the wide forehead, he led his beautiful visitor Into the drawing-room. "Luncheon is ready," be said, "so when you young ladies have ex changed confidences we will sit down. Do not be so long, dear," be added to bis daughter. "We shall be ready in a minute, papa," replied Maggie. "Scarcely, I think," said the rec tor, laughing. I'.ut do not forget I breakfasted at 7 this morning." j "What a nice fellow your cousin j must bo, Maggie ! fancy him taking tbe trouble to gather these lovely roses ! I wish I could see them," she added with a sigh. "J'ut, Maggie, dear, what do you think ? One doc tor in london told papa thai per haps I might some day recover my sight 1 do so hope he is right. He wanted to galvanize me or some thing." "Of course he Is right, dear; he never wou'd have Isseu so cruel. He could not have held out hopes if he wf re not quite sure." "Oh, Maggie, fancy ! Just fancy being able to see the sea, the sky, tbe bowers and you, you darling, once again. Hut it Is too good to be true. It is quite Impossible!" A weary sigh closed tbe sentence. "Not Impossible, dear. Ho let ua hope for the best Hope and pray, and trust la fod's mercy." Jessio bent down aud kissed her kind friend, and then the two girls bad a good cry" together. Nearly two months passed way, aud still the party at Whittlesleigh Kectory remained the same. To those of my readers who have stayed iu sweet South Devon, 1 need not ex plain tho pleasant life which young people can, and I believe do, lead In that land of picnics. Love in these latitudes ripens with the strawberries, and comes as naturally as cream ; so tbe young couples at the liectory paired oft almost unconsciously. Such an arrangement in the case of Algy Vernon and Maggie Den ne was not surprising, for they had been ac quainted from childhood, Mrs. Ver non and the late Mrs. Denne had been schoolfellows. They had never severed tbe friendship thus initiated, and what was more natural than that the affection entertained by the parents should descend to the chil dren ? At auy rate, Algy was deeply in love with the pretty Maggie ; and she, though not so preoccupied re specting him, thought her old friend very nice iudeed, and, if the trntb were told, preferred him to all her nu merous ailmlrnra Hut Frank Carson and Jessie Ham blyn had no such excuse. Yet the in Huence of tbe Devonshire air was such as to kindle a spark which showed symptoms of bursting out Into a decided tlame Indeed. The train or sympathy was laid ; it required but the spark to be applied io it, and men the barriers of f.udeuce would give way before an explosion. If Alger non ami Maggie understood each other, so did Frank and Jessie, and the numerous excursions and picnics in which they passed the afternoons only served to rivet their bonds closer. Ono sultry afternoon a last excur sion was planned to the Fairy (Jlen, The party had been Increased on this occasion by three couples from a neighboring parish, and despite the threatening appearance of oertaln huge masses of clouds, tbe expedition started. The romantic spot which Maggie no mean judge in these mat ter had selected for the afternoon meal was one of those lovely bits of landscape so familiar to many t us. A brawling streams makes its spark ling way amitl moss-covered bowld ers, over pebbly shallows, and swirls lieneath the wild Mowers beneath its banks. Thou gliding calmly into an uurullled pool, It lazily creeps be neath a picturesque bridge, through the single arch of which ancient structure the moor Is seen extending its wild and undulating curves. Aud then the water, secure in its pride of high birth in yonder hills, takes no heed of tbe narrow passage till, ere It aware, it is caught in a rapid, and hurried over tbe cascade to the sea, where it is lost forever. Such were the features of the wood, hind dinlug room, on that eventful day a day never to be forgotten by any member of that merry party. The cloth was soon laid beside tbe stream, and, when ail was ready, full justice was done to theaf fresco meal. More thau once a muttered growl or subdued roll was heard over tbe bills, but tbe sound was merely the echoes the blasting operation at the quar ries, or the rattling of the trucks cn the neighboring tramway. The air got more aud more sultry, and even the insects seemed to sleep. The trees whispered to each other, aud their topmost branches waved a gentle welcome to the scarcely felt breeze that stirred tbe leaves. The picnic party broke into groups after dinner ; tbe groups into pairs each cautioning the others not to go too far, as there was a storm brewing. Frank and Jesse did not wander away. Kscorted by Algernon and Maggie to a rustic seat above tbe stream, close to a tall and sheltering tree, they sat together while the more venturesome of the party climbed the tail rocks or wandered up the stream, leaping from stone to stone, where assistance and much holding of hands was a necessity. Oh, ye Devon streams, for what are ye not responsible ? How many hap py faces ye have mirrowed in your sparkling waters ? Frank and Jessie chatted for some time ou Indifferent subjects, until at last sho sighed deeply, and said half absently : "Oh, how very sorry I shall be to leave here! I have been so happy 1" Then sue added, suddenly: "Every ono has been kind to me !" "I am dreadfully sorry you must go," he said, with an answering sigh, and, somehow, as he spoke, he knew not how how does it ever happen ? their hands touched ; his fingers clasped hers, and hers were not with drawn. The train was tired ! "Jessie, dearest Jessie," be whis pered, "can you love me ? Will you be my wife ?" There was no reply, unless an al most imperceptible pressure of tbe taper lingers could be so termed. Frank took it for assent, aud bending down be kissed the lovely face once, twice, thrice, till the cheeks were as brilliant as tbe crimson rose Jessie wore iu her dress. "My own, darling !" was all ,he said. A sharp peal of thunder passed awav unheeded as be siKike. After a pause he resumed : "So you do love me, Jessie ! I nev er thought you would care for me, dear." "Indeed I do." she whispered ; why Bhould I not ? But I often 'wondered that you selected me .... . . . your companion all these weeks, for I am so unfortunate." "Why, my darling, how are you unfortunate?" and be passed hla arms around her taper waist. "Because because oh ! I cannot bear to mention it ; though I uo not mind now -at least, not nearly so much." "But what is this terrible reason I Is j why I should not love you, Jeceie?; j Tell nae, ueareet. i "Oh, Frank '. That is Jifee voar kind sympathy for me. Of coarse you ! euens. It Ih because I am blinJ. you kcow." lieen Frank recoIIel ai if be haJ f-t'jop, a clioking RMp escaped blm, and hecmlil not peak for a moment. i "l!inI ! ' he rfatI at lengtM, an I If in a dream ; "blind: (!, Jetnle '. , rv am I It was too true. Blind from his birth. Frank Carson had never dreamed that Jessie was afflicted like himself. Maggie had never told htm this, and tbe terrible fact was now re vealed to tbe lovers for the first tfnie. Frank's knowledge of the ground and neighborhood in which be bad lived for years had enabled bim to keep Jessie in Ignorance of bis inbrmity wnicu sbe of course, fancied she was aware of. Aud had it come to this after all Jessie seized bia hand. "Oh, do not tell me that ! r rank, dear Frauk, say you can see me. Have you uever seen me, never at all ." She waited breathless tor an answer It fell almost like a blow. "Never !" And this was tbe end of her dream of love ! She had been so happy to to think that one man at least had been so kind and sympathetic; that one man had seen her vacant eyes and scarred face, and had loved her for herself alone, not for her Imauty aud her jrealih. Hut now the charm was snapped tbe golden bowl was broken. Sbe bent her bead. A great warm drop fell upon ber band, now clasped lo his once wore. Hlie started as she felt it. He was suffering, too, Hhe drew herself up, a beautiful smile on her race, then bending toward him sbe pressed a kiss, tbe first kiss of her pure llpe, upon bis forehead. "For better, for worse, till death do us part, dear Frank, I am yours, if you will take me so !" " 'Till death do us part,' " be re peated, solemnly, and he In turn was stooping to bis love, when A hot and brilliant flash of light rent the clond overhead, a rattling ial of thunder followed it to earth. and Frank and Jessie lay extended beneath the riven tree, hand in hand. to all appearances locked In sleep me sleep mat Knows no waking. Till death did them part Was this to be their parting, on tbe threw hold of their lives ? Peal after peal of thunder rattled overhead, the lightning flashed around them, tbe rain poured down In tor rents, and there they lay unconscious or the elemental war asleep ! "Merciful heavens, have pity on them !" It was the rector who spoke, as he and some others of the party came suddenly upon the senseless forms be neath the tree. Was tbe prayer heard ? We dare not speculate on subjects such as this. Who can tell ? The bodies were born to a cottage close by : tbe light clasp of the fingers was unloosed at length. Jessie, tbe bunch of roses contrasting so with her pallid face, was laid upon a bed, Frank was In the next room. Insensi ble still. A stilled sigh first proclaimed to Maggie Denne that her heartfelt prayer had been answered, aud Jessie sat upright. Turning to her kind attendant, she said faintly : "Maggie, dearest I" Maggie, full of joy, hastened to the bed. Thore was Jessie Hamblyn, in deed ; but it was the Jessie of old. Her eyes were open wide aud full of life. "It Is true, Maggie, darling ; It la tru, and I can see you once again I can, I can ! Look, here are my roses, there you stand. Oh, thank heaven. can see the sky once more !" She fell back exhausted, then, rising again, cried : "is it true about Frank ? I love bim, he loves me; the lightning struck us yes, but give me sight for htm. Thank Uod ! Where Is Frank ?" she Inquired after a pause. "In tbe next room," said Maggie, as she wiped away her happy tears. "Oh, Jessie how thankful we all are ! V feared the worst for both !" At this moment the rector entered aoftly. "Oh, come In, papa, come In ; dar ling Jessie can see us all again. Is It not wonderful ? I am so thankful !" "It la Indeed wonderful," replied Mr. Denne. "And now," he said, after be had affectionately congratu lated Jessie. "I have more good news ; Frank has recovered, and has asked for Jessie. May he come In ?" I will go to him," she said rising from the bed. Aud before they could stop her she had hurried away to the next room where, lying upon a sofa was poor Frank Carson. Hhe hasten ed toward him. "Oh Frank!" she cried, "dearest Frank, I am so glad." Then bluahing rosy red, she whisper ed, "Till death do us part. Uod has given me my eyesight once agaiu, to nurse and tend you all my life. Dear, dear Frank !" He said no word till, rising op, be knelt beside the sofa, and Jessie's thanksgiving and his went up to heaven together. But little remains to be told. Tbe lovers were united before many months bad passed. Algernon and Maggie soon followed the good ex ample set tbem by Jessie and her lover. On the former wedding day tbe only gift presented to tbe lovely bride by her deveted husband, Frank, was a bunch of roses. The Laugh on Mark Twain. Dr. IUees, a dentist of this city, Is the man who first administered laugh- jug gas when the discovery or that anesthetic was made by tbe late Dr. Horace Wells. A public exhibition was given, at which Dr. Wells was present, and the gas was first taken by Sam Cooley, who had a tooth pulled bylUggs. Several weeks ago the I lev. josepn n. Twitcneii, pastor of the Asylum UIU Congregational Church In this city, sat for a good part of two days in Dr. Kigg'a dental chair having bis teeth repaired. Biggs chatty, aud while at work gave Air. Twitchell a detailed and Interesting accouut of Dr. Wells' discovery and of tbe Cooley exhibition. There were so many rare and funny things in tbe narrative that Mr. Twitchell repeated tbem from memory to Mark Twain, who thought It would be well to see Ulggs himself, and get tbe yarn first-handed as be might work it up with some embellishments for publi cation. A few days afterward the distinguished humorist appeared in Kigg'a office, saying that, aa be was goiuK abroad, be would like to nave his teeth overhauled somewbat,though be really had no Idea that very much tinkering would be needed. What be wanted was the story. After being well seated in the operating chair be succeeded in getting tbe doctor start ed, and, between tbe story and toe work performed two days were occu pies). Mark rejjlced over his good luck, and took the earliest opportun ity to Inform his clerical friend that be had succeeded in getting just what be wanted. The day be sailed for Europe, how ever, be was astonished to get a bill for services from Dr. Biggs ;amouut ingtoJ3JJ. He did not know but it might be a joke, a greater charge be ing made ou account of anesthesia than for actual professional work. He soon satisfied himself, however, that tbe doctor Intended the bill to cover mechanical services only, and then he was mad, particularly as all be wanted from tbe doctor was tbe story. He passed the bill over to Cbas. E. Perkins, attorney, who still has it. Mark, meanwhile, will not probably prepare bis version of tbe discovery of laughing gas nutll be knows precisely what he baa got to pay for tbe materials. Hartford (Ct.) T7nf s.

We renew IU pledges of . .. .. ... uevoiion lo me L nion ud cons:itu tion, with the amendments. It de clares an essential to the prfsrva tlou of free government a faithful ad berence to the following principles : Mnc. construction or home rulo ; su premacy of civil over military power ; separation of Church aud State equality of all citizens Is-fore the law Itlxrrty of Individual action unvexed by sumptuary laws ; absolute ac- quienceii.se in the lawfully expressed will of the majority : opposition to all subsidies ; preservation of public landd for use of actual settlers, and mairtenauce and perfecting of the common school system. As perti nent to the issues now pending be fore the people, "Jicsolcctt, That the investigation of frauds committed at the last Presi dential election in Florida and Loui siana ought to have been made by the Electoral Commission. Its re fusal to do so was tbe violation of tbe spirit of law under which it was organized, aud a gross outrage uii tbe people of the United States ; and while the decision as made by the Forty-fourth Congress of the iiues tion as to who should be declared President of tbe United States for tbe present Presidential term, was, in our judgment, final, that decision ought not to preclude authentic In vestigation and exposure of all frauds connected with that election, and the due accountability of all who were guiltily connected with tbem "licaolcr.a, That the commercial aud industrial stagnation that has so long prevailed throughout the coun try, and the consequent widespread suiienug, is due directly to tbe per nicious financial legislation of the Bepubliean party, which we hereby arraign for its acts, and charge. First That at the time when the coun try was weighed down by debt, cre ated on the basis or a full volume or paper, added to the precious metals as money, it enacted a sweeping change In the decrease of values, wholly In the Interest of moneyed capital, by demonetizing silver, and decreeing the destruction of legal tender paper, aud thereby wrongfully added iu eifect hundreds of millions to the burden of debt and taxes upon tbe people. Second By pursuing its merciless wliey of contracting the paper currency, and hoarding gold, it has increased continuously tbe value of money aud securities that partake of the enhancement of money, aud decreased the valuo of all other property, and especially of capi tal designed for productive use, aud required for the employment of labor, thus repressing Instead of fostering industry ; compelling Idleness, in stead of sustaining trade and com merce. Aud now this party iu Ohio pubi forward in its platform the dec laration that the financial question has been settled. We deny this leclaratiou, ami while we congratu late the country that the down ward course to bankruptcy and ruin. Involved lu the liepiiu lican policy, has been partially averted by the Democratic meas ures passed at the late session of Con gress, restoring tbe debt paying pow er to silver dollars, made a law iu spite ef a Presidential veto, aud stop ping the further destruction of green backs, we demand, as further acta of justice, as well aa meas ures of relief, the absolute repeal of the resumption act, and the lawful liberation of the coin hoarded in the Treasury ; tbe removal of all restric tions to the coinage of silver, and re establishment of silver as a money metal, tbe same as gold, the same aa it was before its fraudulent demone tization I j I ia ; tbe gradual substitution of United States legal tender paper for national bank ;uotes, and its permanent establishment as the sole paper Uiouey Ol Hie uiuuiij , hie for all dues to tbe government, and of equal tender with coin ; tbe amount of such Issues to be regulated by legislation or orgauic law as to give tbe people au assurance of Lability in tbe volume or currency, and consequent stability of value ; no further increase in the bonded debt, and no further sale of bonds for the purchase of coin for resumption pur poses, but the gradual extinction of the public debt; rigid economy iu the reduction of expenditures iu all branches of public service, and a tariff for revenue only. "Jicsoivcd, That the interest or tne industrial wealth producing classes is the paramount interest of the people of the United States. Those whose labor and enterprise produce wealth should be secure in its enjoyment. Our warmest sympathy is extended to tbe laboring classes who have been thrown ont of employment by tbe ruinous financial policy and unjust legislation of the Republican party, and we pledge the Democratic party to a reversal of that policy and a res toration of all rights they are entitled to, nnon its ascendency to power. "Acsoli'ed. That there can be no legitimate employment of organized force In this country except u exe cute the law and to maintain public peace : that no violence should be countenanced to obtain redress for any alleged grievance, but should be repressed at every cost until reiier can be secured by legal methods. We congratulate the couutry on the adop tion of the constitutional and pacific policy of local government iu tbe States of the South, so long advocated by the Democratic party, and which has brought peace and harmony to that section of the Uuion." al of FLIES. Tho flies arrived last week being nearly six weeks behind their usual time. A few strong aud hardy tiles arrived here as early as the 1st of April, but they soon regretted their rashness, and sullered too much from chilliness and depression of spirits to make their presence felt by riotous buzzing or direct assault upon the pub lic. Last week, however, the usual Bummer flies, innumerable in quan tity, and apparently more active tnan ever, suddenly made their appearance late on Tuesday afternoon, and have been In excellent health and spirits ever since. The migration of flies is a subject which naturalists have carefully re frained from discussing. The reason is easily found. They do not know where our Northern files go during the cold weather, and they therefore, skirk the whole subject, in fact no one would ever learn from an ento mological text-book that Hies are mi gratory, and the popular belief is that every Northern fly dies as soon as cold weather begins. From whence tlieu, come the flies of the next Sum mer ? Tbey cannot be batched from eggs laid by the dead flies of the pre ceding Summer, since naturalists as sure us that tbe eggs of flies are hatch ed within a few hours after they are laid. No one Imagines that the robins die punctually at 11 o'clock A. M., ou tbe nrstor jovemoer, naviug leu i-e-blnd them egga which will be hatched out on the succeeding 1st of Mav thereby giving us a supply of eariy Spring birds. We know that the robins migrate, because tbey disap pear iu tbe rail and return in tbe Spring. For tbe same reason we must believe that tbe tiy migrate at tbe approach of Winter, aud returns when warm weather returns. It builds its little nest, lay, Its eggs, and batches tbem, precisely as does the robin ; and there are few spectacles more beautiful than that of the patient mother fly brooding over her eggs while her mate hovers about tbe nest, bringing her grains of sugar and other proofs of marital affection. in inquiring wuere our mes bo io In the Winter, we must remember tbe leading facts as to tbe distribu tion of flies. There Is ou either side of tbe equator a zone of Perpetual Flies. Further north is tbe zone of Migratory Flies, while still further north is the happy region where fiies are unknown. It is in contemplating tbe distribution of fiies that we per ceive why tbe Esquimaux cling to their frozen homes. Superficial per sons have often asked why don't the Esquimaux leave tbe Arctic regions atyd come south to a comfortable cli mate ? Tbe truth is, the Esquimaux formerly inhabited a warmer regiou, where they wore few clothes aud a great deal of grease. Of conrse, tbey were preyed upon by flies, until they maJe up their minds to emigrate iu search of a flylees laud. Tbey found It within the Arctic circle, Nr leyond the rone of Migratory Fllea ;" and when a mte'-lonary or a Polar ex plorer urgea them to eek a warmer (I i in ate, they smile sweetly and nbrewdly, and reply ; "Not any Hies in ours, if you plea-e" uin, of course, tin iue!lii!uxn Esquimaux language. Now, when nur files migrate, it U certain that they do not go north. It Is almost equally certain that they do nt go souia, to tbe zone of Perpetual T -1 : T .. ...... ; ...M..I Flies. In that region the resident ilies are already so thick that, were the riles from the north and south zones of Migratory Flies to be added to tbem during the Winter months, the atmosphere would become dense aud irresplrable with flies. In short, thewbole country would be uninhab itable. Persons who live In tbe zjne of Perpetual ties fail to notice any increase or iKminutiou of tna appar ent number of flies at any season of the year, and we may therefore re gard it as a demonstrated fact thai our flies do not Winter in the equa torial region. It may be suggested that, instead of migrating to any great distance, our flies simply withdraw to some se cluded spot and hibernate. Now, it Is well known that In tbe zone of Migratory Flies there are usually from two aid a half to three Inches of Ilies durlig the warm season ; or, lu other wopls, were these flies to be evealy spread over the surface of the grouud, tbey would form a layer of from two and a half to three Inches in depth. In what "secluded place' is this enornous quantity of Ilies col lee ted for tha purpose of hibernation ? Has any one ever found them in tbe act? Tbe flies in the boarding houses of the City of New York alone would, if gathered together, form a pyramid with a base of l,f0 square feet and a height of UjU feet. Will some one please to suggest the prob able spot where these nies assemble and hibernate? But if our flies migrate neither to the north, to the zaue of Perpetual Flies, nor to gome "secluded place" near at band, with a view to hiberna tion, where do tbey go during the Winter? We must not forget that "Winter" occurs at dllferent times iu different places. North of the equa tor winter occurs In December, Janu ary and February. South of the equator, June, July and August are tbe winter months. The small boy of Australia has bis Christmas skat ing In June, aud celebrates his Fourth of July in January. When, there fore, it Is wiuter in tbe northern zoue of Migratory Flies, it is summer iu the corresponding southern zone. At the very time when the flies disap pear, the flies of the southern sous of Migratory Flies make tbeir appear- auce. Tbe meaning of this fact ia so plain that a mere Matthews could grasp it. Early in November our flies gather in swarms upou the heads of our baldest men, or on tbe butter-plates of restaurants, and prepare them selves for flight. Choosing the night time, in order to avoid remark, they wing tbeir flight through the upper regiens of the atmosphere, aud pass ing far above the surface of the zone of Perpetual Fiies they descend In the southern zoue of Migratory Flies, where they pass the warm mouths. Iu May, when the southern weather grows cool, tbey retrace their flight aud reappear among us. Thus there a semi-annual ebb aud flow of fiies between the two zones a migraliou in comparison with which the migra tions of birds are trivial aud scarcely worthy of notice. Here ia a simple solution of the fly problem. IU truth Is self-evident. and yet no naturalist has hitherto hit upou it. if you ask the naturalist what becomes of our flies during the winter, he will first use bad language in regard to all files, and will then try to turn tbe conversation. It is a fine illustration of poetic justice that the average naturalist is bald, and that no matter bow much he may neglect the flies, they never neglect him. N. i. It met. KATE SOTHERN. KATE SOTHERN. A Matter-of-Fact Account of the Crime for Which She Is Suffering. We give in this paper the evidence elicited in the muoh-talRed of trial of Kate Sothern. It ciders as much as light and darkness from tbe sensation accounts we have been reading In certain correspondence. There is nothing in tbe scenes, the surround ings, nor the incidents to glean a tithe romance. The whole was a fight between two women, while tbe gal lant Bob Sothern and tbe rest looked on. They were all very ignorant people. Kate aud her sister both centered on "Sis" Cowart. There is no evidence that the men present tried to part the combatants, nor does there appear to have been such a scene as the sentimential writers pic ture or Bob with pistol in hand forcing Kate's way through a crowd. All that was the imagination a fancy sketcher. Kate Sotbern is not pretty even. Sbe Is or medium height, about twenty years of age.and baa dark brown hair, and the twang of a North Georgia cracker. She ia very ignorant, can hardly read and write, and Bob is worse educated than she. Kate Is passably good-looking. and wears imitation jet. Sbe says the witnesses swore lies against her ; that sbe acted in self-defense : that sbe cannot dance, and that night at her father's was the "rust time she ever seed a real run." She is now on the plantation of Colonel Smith, in Washington county, and will be em ployed in the household, cooking and washing for tbe convicts who work on the plantation. The six-months' "baby" is sick teething and that now requires most of her time. She says no money has been sent to her from tbe North. Her Health la bad. I Her sixteen-year-old sister, sen-J teuced to two years as an accessory to Kate's crime, baa been in Colonel Smith's house as a servant. Sbe is handsome, rnd has been taught to read and write by her kiud mistress. On her father's farm sbe worked in the field, and drove au ox to the plow. Her sentence has proved a blessing. Bob Sothern is nothing but a strong, good-looking animal a common, Ig norant boor. He Is now a guard to convicts on tbe same plantation. The woman Kate killed was on a par with the rest. On reading this evidence one feels utterly disgusted with the amount of sentimental twaddl6 that has been expended on the case. Hot m sclutil- a can be obtained to excite a single expression of admiration. Why, tbe parties surrendered themselves to get tbe reward, and the understanding was that Kale's mother was to get $iO of tbe money. Where even a fertile fancy could extract anything a romance from an atrocious crime we cannot imagine. We do not believe there ia a single woman, no matter how warm and sympathetic her heart may be, who, after reading this sworn testimony, will sign a petition for Kate Sothern 's pardon. Governor Colquitt did right. He weighed tbe evidence carefully. aud displayed both juati ce aud hu manity In his decision. A crime has been commuted, a woman killed an other in ber father's house, after sbe bad been received kindly by her pa rentsand then to demand of tbe au thorities that she shall go free la pre. csterous. If such an act were par doned, the doing so would be a mock ery of law. Crime already baa too much license because the statutes are not enforced. Shoe Strings vs. Shoe Buckles. At one time the credit of the Prince of Walea (afterward George IV.) waa so low that tbe common mechanics would not trust bim. At a certain time, when the prince waa preparing for a meeting with tbe nobles of the kingdom, be went into a buckle-maker's shop and asked bim to trust him for a pair of buckles. Tbe man re fused. "If you do not trust me," said tbe prince, "I will ruin you." But the man utterly refused blm tbe buckles unless he would pay for tbem. The prince went away highly offended, and, to be revenged ou tbe man, tied bis shoes with strings, and met the company he bad agreed to meet. As soon as tbe prince entered the bouse, each one took notice of bia shoe strings, and admired tbe new fashion. He told tbem tbe strings were much easier to his feet than buckles, aud much cheaper, and, If all would wear bftim, It would save millions to the kingdom every year. Tbey at once adopted tbe fashion, which ruin ed the buckle-maker, aa hia business was gone aud bis stock on U.-.ud a 'dead'1 property. A MUTUAL SURPRISE. To Man, the Pall of Molasses, and the Other Dog. A Dalibury gri.eery-!irni have tak eu the agency for a hammock. I ne of the article they have linns at the front in the -dele ef inrtr porch. They hung it there as an advertise ment, but numerous people have got into it to nee how it worked. It hung eo low tney coui.i easily sit in it and undoubtedly the motion was agreea ble and comfortable. Hut the grin-era didn't fancy this performance' espe cially as the hammock-sitters were not hammock buyer. Saturday afternoon they removed tbe loop to one end ironi tbe book, and fastened it by a bit of twine Instead. Shortly after a man came iu for two quarts of molasses. It was put up iu bis pail aud a paper tied over the top as he bad forgotten to bring a cover. Wbeu be passed out he saw tbe hammock. His curiosity was aroused at once. Tbe grocers were busy iuside, so he thought be woynld investigate on his own book. With that keen intuition peculiar ti a New England man he saw at a glance that it was something to get iuto. lie knew that it was nothing to wear, aud was equally sure it couu not be arranged for cooking. He sat down in it. Then he swung backward and lifted bis feet up. Then tbe twine fasteuing gave away. It was a dreadful affair. He hail tbe pail of molasses sitting on bis lap, and there was a dog sitting under the hammock. Neither the dog nor tbe molasses expected auv tliintr. anv more than tbe man himself did. ft was a terrible surprise to all of them. The man and the dog lost their pres ence of mind, aud even the pail lost its head. The molasses went into bia lap aud ran down hia legs, and swash ed up under his vest, and insinuated Itself some way In betweeu himself aud his clothes. And when he went down be bit the dog with his heel on tbe back, and the dog was so wild with terror and ainazemeut tbat it sent up a head-splitting yell and fled madly down the street, having first takeu the precaution to bite bim in tbe leg, and to lip over a tier of wood en water pails. When the pails went down a lot of hoes were carried over with tbem, and that started a box of gaideu seeds mounted nn a box, aud they In turn brought away a pile of peck measures whose summit was crowned with a pyramid of canned tomatoes. It was a dreadful shock to the man and nearly paralyzed bim with Its magnitude ; but when one article following another came aval aocbiug a ton on htm he thought the evil one himself had burst loose, and he just screamed as loud as he could. Tbe molasses was all over blm, and the garden seeds had adhered lo the molasses, and he looked more like a huge gingerbread stuck full of cara ways than auy thing else. In this awful condition be waddled home. add swore every step of the way. Lhtnourry Jcwt. BECK ON THE SINKING FUND. He Thinks There Will be No Money for That Fund This Year—Not Proud of the House. Washi.noton. June 21. Senator Beck, who attempted to secure the passage of the bill through the Sen ate providing for a temporary suspen sion of Uie operatiou of the sinking fund law, said to-day that he did not regret the failure or tbe Senate to act upon that measure, but he thinks there will be no surplus revenue from which to make up tbe sinking fund during tbe next fiscal year, aud in this opinion be says tbat he is sus tained by tbe Secretary of the Treas ury, who told him on Saturday that In view or tbe heavy appropriations made by Congress, there will be a de ficiency of $o,ouu.uuu before the close of tbe next fiscal year. The Senator says there Is no hope for a reduction or taxation so long as tbe House of Representatives is composed of the class of men who now fill its seats. Tbe bills looking to a reduction, be says, were he'd back until tbe last moment, tue xzouso a,u.i4a ..u v-n tbat there would not then be tbe slightest chance for tbe Senate to act upon them before adjournment. Senator-Beck is evidently not proud of bis party in the House, aud sayt if tbe Democrats secure a majority In the next Congress it will be au evi dence of their good luck rather thau of anything they have doue to merit it, iV.

Who is served first, and has the best seat at breakfast, dinner and supper ? Woman, lovelv woman ! Who pays for them ? Man, the wretch ! Man loves and runs awav.

Much baa been said pro and cou on this question, aud it has been gener ally decided In tbe negative , but we now have a case where It does appear beyond doubt that they do tomt timex eat them. A bee-keeper at Los An geles says he baa repeatedly watched hens take up a position in front of a stand of bees and there and theu pick tbem up oue after another and de vour them. To strengthen this state ment, be says be dispatched one of the beus caught In tbe act, aud found in her crop tbe no small number of IGu bees. A few dozen fowls let run In an apiary iu such a bad year as lo77 in California would soon depopu late tbe stands, saying nothing of tbe large numlier tbat die of starvation. We have noticed hens eat dead bees, but never saw them take them from tbe entrance. Neither do they eat a dead bee that ia aa dry aud old as an Egyptian mummy. Tbey take tbem when tbey are soft and plump. II'' i feri Jtral. Sherman and Noyes. It begins to appear to nearly every body now tbat tbe attacks upon Sec retary Sherman and Minister Noyes, In tbe preamble of tbe Potter resolu tion, were so entirely unjustifiable as to be nothing less than outrageous.

True economy requires that the Government should make urrjcleut appropriations to caxrv forward the work ou ail public buildings without ueiay, ami mis anon til especially be lue aim wbeu the supply of labor is iu excess at the ueuiauu. The mining interests of Ohio require an Ihsliectlou law iuleliltreullv administered and we condemn tbe action of the Gover nor in prostituting- that department. Hhe object ol which should be to protect life aud promote the comfort of miners) to a mere partisau purpose. The revolutionary movement Inaugurat ed under cover ot Investigation, but really as au attack upon the President's title, cal culated as It is to Mexicauize tbe ailairs of this country, to cause general distrust, to prostrate our ludustrit-s aud aggravate and uri.lrm v t !. il if ..r il... n...i dusirial claaa-s, we umtuestiouably con demn. President Hayes having been dulv elected aud bis title subseoueuliy settled under the Constitution by the highest tribunal and by tbeautof both political parties, it cannot be questioned, aud we recognize in his admin- isirauou me nignest lutegrity and patriot ism; tbe moat sincere eilort lo promote po litical pnrtly and harmouv ana secure ken- em! business prosperity throughout the wuoie couu try. The present Legislature Is a warning to the people ol the Mtale. and a prool of the dangerous character ol thu Democratic par ty. The majority of tbat bod v. in au uuu- sually loin; sewion, paxaco. no law lor the Kent n l of tn;opleol tha Klate, but they revolutionized every State institution to make places for Democratic partisans : the subordinated the welfare l the lusane, the blind, tlie mute and the orphans to tbe in terests of the Dumocratic party. The Con stitution having never contemplated more than one Congressional districting of the Slate during a term often years betweeu tbe baking of censuses, we eondemu the re cent outrageous and unjust redisricting of tnumaieby the Legislature lu violation ol usage aud at tlie dlclaliou of Mneaker Ran dall, by which, on the basis of the vole ol tbe last Presidential election, wben a ma jority of the voUm cast was Republican, the iemocraie would ueenauieu. to carry lour teen out ol Iweulv Congressmen. If there Is any one thing In this world tbat ia worthy of siecial sup pression it is tbe somewhat remark able bird known as tbe parrot. A talking parrot can be a nuisance as unmitigated as one can con ceive of. We do uot believe In encouraging tbem to talk ; but, as there may Inn persona deaf probably to whom tho parrot's inno cent prattle is not olteusive we give tbem the beiient or tbe statement I tbat, according to Cuvler, the cele brated French natural ret, parrots may best be taught to talk by covering tbe cage at night, or rather in the evening, aud then repeating to them slowly and distinctly the words tbey are de sired to learn. They should be kept away from places where tbey would be likely to bear disagreeable noises. such as street cries and the whistling aud shouts of boys at play. Atlanta S'unnu South : We know daughters whose snuff bottles are con cealed in their rooms, where they use the contents constantly, without tbe InnwInU -' i- i- ,M.nhi W h... seen, at boarding schools, girls go into uysterics when deprived for a day or two of their snuff, and borrow tobacco from tbe servants as a substitute until they could obtain their usual stimu lant or Hootch or Mtcaboy: and wa are well acquainted with three sisters beautiful young girls, were it not for the sallow .hue tarnishing their com plexions who are at present under medical treatment for deraugemeut of tbe nervous system and digestive or gans, arising from their coustaut use of snuff. New Testament Revision. The British Company of New Tes tament revisers have completed tbe first revision and sent it to the Ameri can committee. Tbe latter have re vised all except Itevelatlons aud four of the smaller Epistles, aud sent over tue larger part or their work. The grand rhythm of the rich old Kngllsh la everywhere preserved, aud only words changed that have lost their origiual meaulng or which do not conform to the most authentic text of ancient manuscripts. There's a wiuenesa iu Uod's mercy. Like the wldeness of the sea ; There's a kindness in bis Justice Which is more than liberty. For the love of Uod Is broader Than the measures of man's lulml ; And the Heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple. We should lake ilim at His word ; And our lives would be all suushlue lit the NWcctucsa of our Iird. P. W. Faber. Captain fiovton boa written to a French paper a most amusing account of bis swim across tbe H traits of Gib raltar. He says that the feat waa far more difllcnlt than swimming across the H traits of Dover, for tbe currents carried him so far that he traversed fifty miles In doing the journey. He adds, "I saw several sharks, but none of them made a meal of me, aud I owe tbem my best acknowledgments. l sullered much from the sun and tbe salt water which came Into my eyes, and I was almost blind when I land ed. As I waa not expected at Tan glers, I blew my horn aa I approached tne town. Home Moorish guards came down to know what tbe noise was about, and seeing me emerge from tbe sea, they ran back to arouse tbe town, declaring that tbe devil bad just come ashore. I left them the same day by steamer." Last Saturday a "boy" applied for work In Kast IJberty, Fa. Kbe was recognized. In spite of ber male attire, as a Mrs. Hcott who formerly resided In a neighboring township, but bad removed West after her marrage. Hhe confessed the fact and said that shortly after ber arrival In ber new home ber husliand began to treat her so badly that sbe determined to reach her former home, aDd in order not to be subjected to tbe many annoyances usually encountered by females trav eling without au escort, she obtained a suit of clothes and tramped it all tbe way from Iowa to Pittsburg. Hhe was promptly furnished wltb tbe necessa ry means to reach ber friends, and willingly resumed her proper gar ments. Tbe plucky little woman Is scarcely seventeen years of age. Specimens of domestic tea raised in South Carolina and cured In Balti more, were exhibited in Wasbingtou, and were so tine as to deceive the largest dealers. A western editor throws up the sponge, with the remark tbat "it don't pay to run a paper in a town where business men read almanacs, and pick tbeir teeth with the tail of a herring." Jonah ought to congratulate him self on bow much safar be was In the wbale's tally than he would have been in an iron clad man-of-war.
