I THE DEACON'S CHRISTMAS. j Christmas day dawned bright and j ' fair and cold. All the hills around the lit.le country [ village of Lunbornton were white with ! enow. The roads wero trodden bard, j and tbc prospect for fine sleighing un- ' dcr the light of a nearly full moon never was better. Deacon Haines' wife i sighed as she pxit back tho curtain from ! the bedroom window that morniDg and j looked out. ; Five 5ears ago, that very day, the great sorrow of her life had come to | her. llow well she remembered that , fateful morning, when, though the sun j shone gloriously, and the heavens were blue and cloudless, all the life and joy I went out of her life and left the world a blank of gloom, almost of despair. Twenty-four years 6he had been John Haines' wife, and in all these ! venro uV>o Vind T1PVf>r TODPlltfid of llPT I choice. There had been many times ; when the man's hard nature had ] wounded her sensitive spirit, but she i trusted all things to heaven and uttered j no complaint. Ju-.t, upright in his dealings, beacon ] Haines was a man who never erred?in i i his own judgment; and mercy was a I word unknown in his vocabulary. If J < people would live as they ought to and j as they might, ho was woiit to say i < sternly, they would not need to be for- i ever orjir.g for forgiveness. j If the deacon's right Land had ] offended him he would have cut it off, thus obeying the Scriptu:e literally. 11 He was jeiig-'ous to a fault, for there is j i such a thing ck carrying even ->m\s ; piety too far, uutil it becomes a curse i instead of a blessing. Tn tho eiuipie I ; faith ot an obedient soul there is peace 11 and rebt, but in the bigoted fanaticism i cf a t-elf righteous man ? well never j mind the rest, I am writing a story ] tnd not a eermcn. T-w TT.: 1 L'-'ilCUU Cl'iUJJUi) XJUU UUIJ <>uo liuiu a beautiful, fair-haired, blue-eyed giri, and in his stern, af colic way, he idoliz:d this girl. 'When she was eighteen i J &L*. ypars of age she fell in love with Royal j ? Clayton. . i When the news of this reached the } doacon hi3 rogo was terrible. He | I struck his foot upon the floor and I < rivei wi:h what was almost an oath, I J that if ever sko spoke to him aga.n lie i would disown her forever. Emma had ; something of her father's own spirit, | 1 and fhe loved lloyal with all the j i strength of her fond young heart, and j < the told the deacon without hesitation ' that she would follow love instead of j 1 &* ' i^nfv I o Five years before, on that Chrisfrcas t day, Emma had left her home without f the knowledge of her parents, and be"i came tbc wife of the man the loved, j r "Immediately after the ceremony the j t young couple had taken the cars for j f the West-, and only once had any tidings : v ; i - of them reached Lanbornton. A letter j t came to the deacon in Emma's hand-1 writing, but the inflexible old man had' i brought it himself from the postoflice, f k and in the j t sence of his wife had r laid it unopened upon the tire and i watched it shrink to ashen. r He had no child, he paid, sternly? u j*. be would hold no communication with r * one who was none ot his. Emma's name was forbidden to be 1 mentioned in the household. A ser- t vant-girl who inadvertently referred to t Miss Emma in tho deacon's hearing f; was at once dismissed, and poor Mrs. j Haines, having once beeu betrayed into a burst of tears by coming suddenly upon some article of clothing which had been last worn by her child, re- j ceived such a dreadful admonition that . she did not get over trembling for a j. \ week. Mrs. Haines was one of those gentle, clinging creatures, who ought to beloved and cherifhed by seme true, ten I drr heart, but who usually fall to the mercies of just such iron-natured men r %. as Deacon Haines. It is a law of nature. I suppose, and who shall gain say it ? She submitted to him in every thin?, and wonld no more have though of disputing tha right of the wind t blow in a northeast snowstorm? ! But nights, very often, when the dea- j con was fast asleep, she would steal sofily up to tho chamber which had ! been Emma's, and there upon the cold pillows last pressed by the head of her darling would she weep away the sore} ; ness of her heart. She hoped always that some letter or message might come to her ; she would ! risk the deacon's anger, and write just | one little word of love to her daughter; j but she hoped in vain. No tidings' ever came. Days and weeks and months passed ! ky, as (Oh ! Heaven, be pitiful!) they | x will drag by, whether we soar to heights j of ecstasy or sii-k into depths of despair j ?ss they have dragged on ever sinoo i E creation ; as they will go on forever! j f " I ??QQ mnmire : . JLU.'^ UCnmilUJl VUAiuuuiMO ^ Mrs. Haines >rent about her plum pad-1 ? ding and her chicken pio and her 1 a sponge cake and c ther dainties with a ' c heavy heart. She never dreamed of omitting a single item in the Christmas c bill of fare, for tho deacon was a me- | thodic^l man, and if there had been so much as a di-h of preserves missing he would have demanded the reason of it. j He would have looked upon it as a crying , bin against the faith of his forefathers if v Christmas had not been kept in the way he.hal kept it from his youth up. 8j, though tho mother's heart was fnll of sorrow and heaviness, she remembered the exact quantity of spice to be put in the mince meat for the pies, t she kept in mind just how much short- b ^ ening must go into the crust for the ! s chicken pie, atd she trussed thefat tur- j i v.... ??w1 Kim fnll Toith Rt.nflfmrr I t JVUJ, U?u UI.VU ? -CI ; and watched him while ho was roasting, h just as solicitously as if she was not i e ready to siuk down and weep her life j away for her lost child. By 4 o'clock in the afternoon every-1 \ thing waa ready. Dinner smoked on i the table, and filled the great kitchen, r when the table was set on- with a savory smeli. The weather had changed suddenly, r and hu>avy storm clouds drifted across the sky, driven by the fierce wind, and t the distant hill-tops were wrapped in - mists of suow. Lanbornton was near r the sea, and tho low beat cf the waves ? ; ou the broken beach came ever and anon to the ear in a wail of despair. v I . Mrs. Haines lighted the candles in T the tall silver < andlestioks,and set them , on the table. The voice in which she called her husband to dinner trembled; sho was wondering if Emma had a Christmas dinner that day, or if indeed she wa*still alive und a dweller in a land where Christmas was remembered. The deacon sat down at the table, put his steel-rimmed spectacles on his nose, and opened the large Bible which lay beside his plate. It was always his custom to read the first passage on which his eye rested, and on this occasion he road aloud. " For if yo forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if ye forgive not ni n their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.'' There was 110 softening of the stern voice as lie read the beautiful words; no tenderness of feeling crept over his ft'c-j at the thought of the loviog Christ who uttered them. But Mrs. Ilaines' cvps mil nvor jiud sho hntiv/1 ln>r lipnrl upon her bauds. "Ob, John," she cried, "think of Emma !?livo years ago to-day siuee she ! went forth blighted by a f-.ither's curse? ; and heaven only knows if she is .'-till : amonn the liviug ! Ob, mv child! mv child!"' The deacon rose slowy from his seat., his face pale as death, his long right arm extendi-d soli.-mn'y to heaven. " Maltha," s.iid lie. deliberately, "if! you were not my v.ife I would tur-i you irorn my door. Such passages of Scripture as tlu\-:e lmvo no lefrrenee to wicked and disobedient children who persist in goiug to ruin in spite of counsel and admonition from their legal j guardians!" There wa^ a faint moaning sound at j the door, and tho quick ear of Mrs. Haines caugtit it at or>c*?. So uul the | oiil house dog, for ho leaped from his warm comer by the tiro and sprang to the door with a cry of welcome. The deacon took a step forward, but his wifo was biftre?him. Perhaps some subtle prescience helped to prepare her j for what she was to see, for she did not j cry out cr faint at the sight. Across the doorstep lay tho still figure of a woman, holding in her arms a j little child. The snow was drifting j over them both, but the light from the blazimr hearth shone out broad and red, | and tinged with roseate bloom tho wan, whito faco of Emma Clayton. Mrs. Haines was a Blender little woman, but she never felt tho weight of her unconscious daughter as, lifting her into her anus, she boro her into the warm kitchen anil laid her on the lounge. Livid with rage, the deacon strode toward his wife and laid a rough hand cu ho shoulder of tho unconscious girl. Rut for once Mrs. Haines did not shrink from her buhband in his rage. "John," she said, firmly, "she is my child; I will do a mother's duty to her!" "She is no child of mice'."said the deacon, fiercely ; " she choa^ her path in life, let her walk therein r And he laid bi9 hand on tho girl and would have dragged her to the door, but Mrs. Haines stepped before him. Her face was white as death, and every vein stood out like cords upon her forehead. "Deacon Haines," said she, " do this thing, and though you were thrice my husband I will not remain under your roof another moment after sue is thrust out! and may Gcd judgo between us!" Just then, while tho deacon, paralyzed with amazement, stood motionless before bis wife, the little child crept to his side and put two warm, soft hands around his fingers. The sweet, prieved face, with the soft, blue e\cs lifted to bis stern countenance, might have melted anything bus a strong human beart. "Grandpapa," said she, "please don't hurt poor mamma! She is sick, and 3he has come so far in the cold !" "Grandpapa I"?the word hehad never expected to hear addret-sed to himself. His memory went back "over half a sentury and more to the gray-haired man he had called grandpapa?the man who was always kind to him, who petted him and made him whistles and wooden horses, and told, him quaint tories of old, old times when the country was new, and hc-arsand Indians plenty as blackberries. Ho remembered when he stood beside tbat kind old man's deathbed, and felt tho withered, trembling hand, cold with the dews of ilcalh upon his forehead?ho ri'inem tcr.-'rt tue grieving tom-s ox tuo tailing voice which said : 'God's Messing upon you, John! and when yon, too, Ho down to die, oiuy your grandchildren stand around your bed, and comfort you in your last hours !" This aged man had died and gone to heaven. The deacon shrank from the inspection. For one moment, with that child's :-lear eyes upon him, he saw himself as lie was?a hard unyielding, unmerciful aau?dead in tresspasses and sin. He tank down on his knees and buried his faco in the clustering ;olden hair of las wondering grandchild. "Martha!'' lie cried, bilterly, "I xave sinned and fallen far short ! Do is you will?a^d may God show me be mercy I have never shown to my elloiv!" Emma Clayton lived, though she was lever very strong?but never was I laughter loved and cared for by a : ather as she was. And little Annie ] vas iu sore danger of being spoiled by j he indulgence of her grandfather. Everybody noticed the great change ! n the deacon?he grew humble and i , orgiving, and his prayers in the public | i neetings were no longer full of vin- j 1 lictivo threatening hurled at the sin- ! '' ier, but were rich in mild persuasions i ] ,nd gentle intimations to try the good- ' less of God. ' Royal Clayton was dead ; and Emma 1 ived always with her father. Every- J hing was forgiven?everything forgot- , en except tl e love which united tbo ; amily ever after in a bond of unbroken icace. Christinas Superstitions. ' The bncolic mind often gives " a ocal habitation and a name" to the | 'airy nothings" of poetry. It is a ioet's idea that all nature unites in elebrating the birth of Christ. The j mperstition of European peasants pnts ; his idea into the belief that on Christnas morning the oxen are always found >n their knees. This they do in imitaion of the ox and iiss who, according o the old legend, were present at the nauger and knelt when Christ was )orn. An English traveler, Dowison, in his 'Sketches of Upper Canada," mentions hat on one moonlight Christmas eve le met an Indian creeping along who Qotioned him to silence. "Me watch o free tho deer kneel," ho answered, to ; he traveler's inquiry. " This isChrist.. 1: .1 r..ii I uas uUU <4li LUC7 UUC1 tail U?JUU heir knees to the Great Spirit and look ip." In some parts of England the popular jelief is that sheep walk in procession j >n Christmas eve, in commemoration of J h? glad tidings first announced to shep-1 aords. Bees are also said to .sing in I heir hives on the night beforo Christ- ' nas. Bread baked on Christ-mas eve i lever became moldy, at least, so once ! ;honght many Euplisii housewives. In Devonshire, England, the farmer 1 iad his friends partake of hot cakes and sider on Christmas eve. They then go o the orchard, bearing hot cake and :ider as an offering to the principal ipple tree. The rake is laid in the fork j >f tho tree and the cider thrown over it, mid the tiring of guns and the shouting >f women, who sing: " Bear blue apples and pears enow, I Bam lulls, bag fully, sack fulls. . j Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!"'

AW, UUITEAC'S TRIAL. On tho twenty-second clay the procecdmgn began with the* continuation of the examination of tho Rev. Dr. MacArthur, of New York, who toatified that ho had Been no indications of unsoundness in Guiteau. Tho prisoner, as usual, constantly interrupted and used abusive language, at one moment showing anger at the witness, another making an onslaught on a local reporter, ai;d then again attacking District-Aitorney CorkLill, paying: "If your record was dug up," colonel, it would stink woreo than mine. 1 understand you arc booked for removal. You had better go slow. Tho President is only waiting to get this thing off his mind before you get your ticket-of-. leave. I want the absolute truth "about this." .Stephen English, of New York, editor and proprk tor of tiio Insurance Times, next dt tailed all tho cir" cumstances connected with tho prison "r' procuring ball for liim wliilo no w>. in Ludlow Street jail on a chargo o\ libel. Ho was interrupted at every step of his narrative by the prisone r j i eiaculatiuK: "That is not true;" "Confine ji yourself to tho facts, English;" " IIo got me attested l?v actual perjury;" "That is absolutely false. I can "convict you that ton are lying. There is not an insurance president in New York who does not know that you are a tirst-class fraud ;" " That is tho biggest lio you have spoken. Why, I would not spit on you in the street, yon old scoundrel;" ''Tho insurance presidents of Nnv York would not believe you under oath, you old fraud." In reply to the question whether he had any doubt as to the sanity of the prisoner, tho witness said : "Never. On the contrary, lie appeared to be a man of rcmarknblo keenness oi intellect, becauso ho completely outwitted me. lie was a shrewd, active, intelligent lawyeh" Several New York lawyers were then examined, and testified eithor as to tho prisoner's sanity or rascality, Guiteau continually interrupting in his usual abusive style. Judge Hawes, of the New York marine court, in whoso oftico tho prisoner occupied a desk in 1871, testified that they had never seen any indication of unsoundness of mind in t Guitcau. Snator 1'cnjamin Harriton, of In- . (liana, testiried that the prisoner asked him in , Washington last spring to help him get olHee, i hut tho witness told him ho was already ; overloaded with applications l'rom his own i State.. Ho had never questioned Gui- j lean's sanity. Guitcau patronizingly said of I Senator Hanison: "You are a good feilow, 1 Senator. I remember you very well. Our con- f vernations wero generally social." Tho iuxt f witness was Isaac F. IJoyd, of New York, sec- 1 n tary of tlie Mutual Life Insurance company, i lie presented applications for insurance- t 'our from John W. Guitcau, two from tho pris- I ?- * - ai- ~- m.? i oner, an<t 011c irom mo prisoners iamur. > joint ntailo was lliat tbojo applications con- < laiuc.l negative answers to tlio question whether i tli' re was insanity in the family. Upon objee- i tii'ii by prisoner's counsel the court excluded i the "applications of the prisoner's f father and brother. But tno great i sensation of the day was created ( when D. McLean Shaw, a New York lawyer in w!hiso ofiico Guitcau had a desk ten years ago, to-iii-cd that tlio prisoner told him in 1872 that he (Cinitcau) was round to bo notorious before . ho 'licit; that if ho could not get nototiety for J good, he would get it for evil; that ho would ->h- ot some of our big men, and would imitate V.'iii.es Booth. As tho story was told, and tho spi ciators felt how completely it fitted the pop- ' iilur conception of tho assassin's character,t a ' profound sensation was visible. Tho assassin < was beside himself with excitement, "l'oa ' lie," lie shouted, shaking his hand at tho wit- t ness. "You're a mean, low, dirty liar. I never 1 had any such conversation, you low, 1 dirlv, low-lived whelp. My wifo and f - < < you linow Bonit'iunig in wvu uum. Slio told me yon canio up to visit her," ' ho said, with a grin of pure malice; " I'll show j oil up." The assassin went on to pour out a torrent of abuse on tho witness, which lasted alnif.st without a break through both tho direct and cross-examination. Sir. Scoville did his host to break tho effect of tho evidcncc by showing that Mr. Shaw had not allowed the exprc?s:on of such sentiments to alter his relations -with Guitcau, but tho witness explained thut he had not really supposed tho man would do what ho said. Dr. Kpitzka was called as the first witness T?y Sir. Scoville, on tho twenty-third day. His specialty is nervous and mental diseases, having pursued his studios in this country and Vienna. His competitive paper on this subject obtained a prize in 1878. He testified that ho examined tho prisoner on tho previous day, that he might speak intelligently if compelled to testify; his decision was that tho prisoner was insane; " Guiteau's tendency is toward mental illusions! thn font)at inn of dolusivo opinions and morbid projects, is a moral monstrosity with imbecility of judgment. I judged him insane before 1 bad asked him a question." said tbc witness. "His eyes and tho expression of his face are as well marked for insanity as any I ever saw." Mr. Scovillo then put a hypothetical question summarizing incidents in the prisoner's history, and asking finally if in witness' opinion the prisoner was insane when ho shot tho President. The doctor thought the man was probably insane at that tin;". Mr. Davidgo opened the cross-examination by i.s\ing r. definition of insanity. The doctor declined to formulato a definition, but gave an approximatereply. Mr. Pavidgc made sonic attempts to probo Dr. Spitzka's professional i ecord and standing with the intent to throw discredit upon him. This led to a pwsage of wits besween them in which both suffered to some extent. As iar back as October :!1 the doctor had, ho said, a lixed opinion that (iuitenn was insane, founded on his writings, on his picture and on tho published opinions of various lay people who had seen the prisoner; on this account he declined to testify for the prosecution when approached by Judge Porter, and ho was unwiiling to testify on eithorside. witness had examined tho "pris oner, represent.ng lumsvii to oo a piirenuiugist, that the prisoner mi<ht not know him ^ and act a part. Dr. Spitzka thought Guitcau H exhibited the usual characteristics of insane j people, and narrated the stibstauco of his talk with him. He thought the prisoner knew tho ordinary legal con-'eipici.cea of criminal acts, b"t was morbidly egotisiical, with a tendency to delusivo opinions and morbid projects. For hi-fance, tho prisoner told him the American I cople would never H-e himdioa disgraceful death; that ho would go t > Europe for three months ami then return and .ecturo with great success. Witness thought, his act of shooting to bo u morbid project. Guitcau was unusually boisterous, and denounced tho press and district attorney with gicat violence. He agietd with tho witness Spitzka that ho was insane and should not bo liung for his crime. Wlrlc being manacled during recess Guitcau t broke out with: "lam not afraid to go to the t gallows if tho Lord Almighty wishes me to go a there. 1 expect an act of God that will blow \ this court and jury out of that window to protect ) me, if ncccsaary. I want to thunder that in tho I ears of the American people." Af another timo e altera particularly boisteious look from Gui- 'J teau a voico from the most crowded corncr of I; the court-room exclaimed, "Shoot him now !" v The prisoner glanced around in a frightened i uiiujiiut, mint? iijuv nun a fcuuu uim kjl duj/- i pressed commotion among tho spectators. Tho s deputy marshal endeavored to discover tho of- I fender, but was unsuccessful in his search. I On tho twenty-fourth day tho examination ot Dr. >Spitzka as a witness for the defense was " joncluded, and tho prosecution called several mere wituesses in rebuttal. Dr. Kpitzka fcaid 1 lie didn't believe Guiteau was shamming insanitv. He told of a remarkable drtaui tho 1 [iris:>hcr had relate.l to him, in which Guiteau , livamc l he was holding a big reception in the While House. Tho piisoner interrupted tho * witness to give his own description of thodroam, ^ ivhieh occurred about a week previous. Mr. !. Jorkhill handed Dr. Spitzka a slip of paper ui which was penciled an oblong tiguro !' .vhich he claimed represented tho shape of i human head. Dr. Spitzka drew a diagram 14 if tho contour of a head, after explain- (' ng that tho irregularity of Guitoau's j1 iead was three times that of an ordinary person. Being a*ked if ho believed in a God, Dr. . >piizka objected to answering "on principle," is he termed it, "in a country where civil L1 ind religious liberty are guaranteed." "And r rrelijtious liberty," remarked Mr. Davidgc; but liis elicited no* laughter lrom tho audience. uuntoau, wlio lirst suteu that a man naa given trim a hat to measure ljis head, said in a sorijusmanner: "'Do jou hclievo in a God, Cork- n till ? I have been digging up your record and it h-tinlis worse than an old mackerel, and that , stinks worse than anything else." Dr. ( b'ordyco Barker, of New York, testified for the prosecution that tliero is no such ;liing as hereditary insauitv, but only jj in hereditary tendency to insanity. IIo 0 lid not believe in moral insanity; that was c] 'imply wickedness. Dr. Barker said ho had lot made a personal examination of tlio pris- ^ Kier, and his testimony was directed to the (| general features and indications of insanity. w ivith a view of showing that fiuiteau's plea of insanity is unfounded. Judge Cox took part in !ho questioning of this witness. Guitcau V( isked him, "Where a man does an illegal act ^ from an irresistible pressure is that sanity or E( insanity?" The witness' reply that that fact c; showed insanity pleased the prisoner, who re- n' narked: "That's my case, sir." Mrs. Sco- w .'ille, tho prisoner's sis'er, asked per- ^ illusion to question Dr. Barker. She 01 vished to know whether a person could n] >e born ins.ine thrnutrh malformation of the -rain. Tl:n witness replied that that would jj >ro(ltieo idiocy or imbecility, not insanity. w 'Can it develop into insanity?" persisted Mrs. jcoviile. The doctor replied that a person with i malformed brain might Iks more liable to nsnnity, and Mrs. Seovillo thanked him. M-veral witnesses who had known (iuitcau tea- . ifted iliat they never thought him insane. The 11 nisoni.T contradicted some of their assertions p md became angry over others. al The first witness called by the prosecution on p li" twenty-lifth day was the Bev. Dr. John A. ^ kViibroil, pastor of the 1'nrk Street I'ongrega- . ional church, Boston. He knew the prisoner tl ti tho vcam 1.S7.S and 1?7'J in Boston ; the b irisoner introduced himself to witness a1* a q< olaborer with Mr. Moody, and wanted to lcciiiv q, n w itniSH'church in answer to Colonel ltob rt Ingersoll; ho saw the prisoner frequently 1S it the prayer-meetings and social fjat'icrinyta of C! he church, and marke.l him particularly: his d pinion was that Guiteau was in no respect insane, but a very shrewd or cuto mail. A juror a. laving been granted a brief absenco from the J ooni, tho prisoner entertained the andienc-.i h vitli declamatory remarks, saying that it a: van evident that tho prosecution intended ? ;o provo that ho know right from wrong when it iG shot tho President. Ho wished to nay that it made 110 difference whether he did or 1*10', as lis free agency was destroyed, lie rested his ai ease oil mat, not on whether or not ho was i:i- el saw; ?r a fool. Cliarlea A. Bryant, of the lvjui- a] :al)lo Life Insurance company, next told a characteristic story illustrating tho prisoner's w method of borrowing money from acquaint- & mces and his real or pretended expectations of ri jetting the Faris consulship. This testimony }( being distasteful to tho prisoner, ho reviled u :ho witness industriously. Tho latter never , bought of Guilean's being Insane. When *( tfenry M. Collier, counselor at law, of New r< ifoilc city, took the stand, Guitoau at once it callod out: " You are tho man who did that ? Herald business on mo! I'll dispose of you, sir !" Witnesss related au instanco of Guiteau's collecting $175 and failing to pay it over. Tho ^ evidence proved extremely damaging to tl ho prisoner's oft-asserted claim of having al- q vays lived an upright, Christian life, and Gui;eau wriggled and expostulated, and vainly ittcmptod to explain tho transaction. Witness ei it ono point said: "I informed Judge Dono- DC :uie at the time that I considered Guitcau a ? :bief and a scoundrel." Guitcau broke in excitedly : "You did not daro say so to me. I would" have knockcd vou down." Ono of tho , jurors, who had complained early in the day of " feeling uuwell, hero stated to tho court that ho a could not possibly concentrate bis thoughts ? apon tho evidence, feeling as he did, and the g :ourt was accordingly adjourned. MiiMMai ? 8 . : jr Guitcau opened the proceedings on the twenty-sirth day by eulogizing the jury and exhorting tho court to look after their health by giving them plonty of ercrciso. He announced further that ho proposed to fire off tbreoor four other speeches in tho course of the day. Mr. Bryan resumod his testimony, and the prisoner nt onco began a eeriesof interruptions anJ took Mr. Scovillo to task for his method of conduct- j ' ing tho cross-examination. J. M. Justice, an attorney of Loganeporf, Ind., was called for j j the prosecution and told what ho had known : of the prisoner in 1S78, remembering him as a book agent, trying to sell a lifo of Moody. The j . prisoner was greatly angered by this tcsti- j , mony, and -violently repudiated tho idea of J ever having been a book agent. Wit- ' ness saw no indications of insanity in | ' tho prisoner's expression; he thought his eye ; now had a moro suppressed and fearful tx- , pression.

Under tho cireum- n stances, appalling as is tho loss of life, it is al- ., noi-t to be wondered at that so many persons escaped. It is estimatod that about 2,000 01 lien, women and children wero in tho tl joiiso when tho liro broko out, and j Hj ilaring the los4 of life at 700, wliwh j t is to be hoped is an extravagant eeti- J pl nato, about 1,300 either managed to make- j d heir escape, in spito of tho panic or the mis- ; n jiablo arrangements of tho house, and were j t rescued from the flames by tho gallant firemen ind toKliers.

The inhalation of air charged with immonia vapors, as a remedy for whoop- s ng cough, has been tried in France with ^ iuccess. One of tho methods of appli- 1 sation employed is boiling ammonia in = he room where the patient is. The following drink for relieving iicknoss of tho stomach was introduced >y Dr. Halahan, and it is said to be cry palatable and agreeable: Beat np >ne egg very well, say for twenty minites, then add frosli milk, one pint; eater, ono pint; sugar, to make it palat,blc; boil and let it cool; drink when sold.

A Frcnch scientist has lately been nvestigating tho food properties of mckwheat, and gives the following as . ho result of his researches: Buckrheat cakes aro equal to puro white >read as regards tho phosphates or jono-making material and nitrogenous >rincinles which thev contain, and are uperior to bread in fatty matters. The ;eneral yield of buckwheat when cooke.l c s about three times the weight of he Hour used, showing that such flower j ri 1 retain from forty to forty-one per J cut. of water. Between different latciics of ground buckwheat there is a ^ieat dissimilarity of composition?one latch containing nearly r,even times s much nitrogen, twenty-live times he amount of phosphates, and a lundred and fifteen times as much fatty natter, as another.

If there is so i lull rater or" jaice " that seemingly a b.i^ht ressure would cause to fall oil in drops, ou may bo sure it will be " toggy " after ; is boiled. Tlieso are the requisite : ualities for a good potato, which must | ppear when cut in two. For color a ollowish white; if it is a deej) yellow I ue potato will not cook well; there lust be r. considerable amount of moist- J re, though not too much; rub the two G ieces together and a white frotli will U ppear around the two edges and upon I; 10 two surfaces; this s-ignilies the i; resence of btarcli, and the more starch, ,n ad consequently froth, the better the olafo, wLilo the less tli ere is the poorer will cook.
