' Highland Customs.
Among the Scotch Highlanders many
ceremonies are observed which are con
sidered to have lasting force throughout
the year. The weather for the year is
augurea irom tne mgnt oi clouds on
New Tear's Day. The house and its
contents are sprinkled with water and
fumigated witn smoke of burning jum
per as a prevention of disease. Throuerh
out all Scotland, indeed, tbe day is more
marked than in. England, probably be
cause Christmas was decreed as a Papal
delusion by the stern old Calvanists and
the season craves some festival. The
wassail ceremonial was prevalent Hill a
very lew years ago, and a peculiar cus
torn called "first-footing" is widely ob
served to this day. Parties, generally
of men only, supply themselves abund
antly with wnisky and visit the houses
of their friends as early as possible on
the first morning of the year, offering
the compliments of the season. He who
first enters any house is called the first
foot, and a tradition oonnects him with
a pleasant prophecy with the oldest mar
riageable daughter of the household.
Much rivalry then there is among those
who would each be for a year foremost
in tne graces oi some local belle.

The Marseilles Abduction.
For the past few weeks the city of
Marseilles, France, has been intensely
exoited in oonsequence of a very singu
lar affair, the heroine of which is a lady
of American birth, and excellent con
nections in this country. About six
years ago, Henry F. Bigelow, a commis
sion merchant of No. 21 Canal street,
New Orleans, failed in that city in con
sequence of losses sustained during the
civil war, and went to Marseilles, where
he soon succeeded m obtaining a good
position in a prominent mercantile
house. Mr. Bigelow was a widower,
and was accompanied by his only daugh
ter, Bertha, then about eighteen years
old, and endowed with remarkable per
sonal charms. Her father moved in the
best society of his new home, and the
beauty and grace of his daughter were
not long in attracting admirers. She
treated them politely, but, after all,
coldly, until one day she was brought
in contact with a dashing French sea
man, the first lieutenant on one of the
Marseilles and Oriental steamships.
His name was Maurice Kervel. He was
but little over thirty years old, tall and
handsome, an excellent conversational
ist, and the very man to win the good
srraces of a susceptible vountr ladv. He
became very intimate with Miss Bertha
Bigelow, and one day he astonished her
.father not a little by asking him for the
nana oi nis cnarmmg daughter. Mr.
Bigelow was at first inclined to look
favorably upon the suit of the enamored
sailor, the more so as his daughter
seemed to reciprocate his affection ; but
a close inquiry into the affairs and char
acter of Mr. Maurice Kervel convinced
Mr. Bigelow that he was not a suitable
match for his daughter. He found that
Kervel was a man of extravagant habits
and choleric temper ; that when under
the influence of liquor he was extreme
ly quarrelsome, .and had fought several
duels ; that he had run through with
the fortune his parents had left him.
and that he had nothing to depend on
but his very modest pay. The result of
all this was that the lieutenant's Buit
was rejected, and that he was requested
to discontinue his visits. Kervel left
Mr. Bigelow muttering threats of
venge.
re
Miss Beftha seemed to care very lit
tle about the breaking off of this flirta
tion with her lover, and in 1868 she was
married to a merchant named Jouvinet,
a man of means, with whom she lived
happily for .a year. In June, 1869, her
husband returned one evening to his
delightful country residence, but, to
his astonishment, did not find his wife
in her apartments. He questioned the
servants about the whereabouts of their
mistress, and they said that they had
seen Mme. Jouvinet walking in the gar
den a little before dusk. M. Jouvinet
searched every nook of the garden and
the neighborhood, but not a trace of
his beautiful wife was to be found. He
sent out messengers in all directions,
but they returned without bringing any
information. An examination of the
lady's boudoir furnished no clew what
ever as to where she might have gone.
The husband passed a wretched night,
hoping every moment for his wife's re
turn ; but morning dawned, and she
had not yet come. He then sent for
the police, and several detectives began
to look for the missing lady. They
were unable to find any trace of her af
ter a protracted and patient search.
Advertisements, offers of large rewards
for information concerning her, remain
ed without result. Both the husband
and father had finally to abandon all
hopes of seeing her again, and an im
penetrable vail seemed to surround her
fate. Jouvinet, after ineurning for her
loss for eighteen months, applied to
the court for an annullation of his mar
riage with Miss Bigelow, and he was
waiting for the rendition of the decree
when, on the 3d of November last, an
event of the most startling character oc
curred. He was seated in his counting
room in the Kue Grande, pouring over
his ledger, when the door was suddenly
opened, and a vailed lady stepped in.
She drew back her vail, and displayed a
bronzed face, the features of which he
knew only too well. In the next mo
ment, he rushed into her arms, exclaim
ing, "Bertha! Bertha!". It was his
long-lost wife.
The explanations she arave him while
they sat locked in each other's arms
about her sudden and long absence were
so strange that even the chroniquer of
the Marseilles Kouvelliste, to whose pen
we are indebted for all these particulars,
confessed that he had rarely met with
anything more romantic in his long
journaliatic career. Mme. Jouvinet
stated that on the evening when she
had parted from her husband she had
gone into the garden to breathe a little
Iresh air. All of a sudden she had been
seized by several men, who rushed from
behind a shrub. In' an instant they had
blindfolded and gagge4 her, and carried
her to a carriage, which rapidly drove
off with her. Then she had become un
conscious, and, when she awoke again,
she had found herself in the cabin of a
ship, which was rocking in the waves,
To her dismay, Maurice Kervel was the
first person who entered her cabin. He
told her coolly that he had long ago left
the naval service of France, and was
now master of a bark in the Levant
trade. She implored him to restore
her to liberty, which he refused, inform
ing her at the same time that she would
henceforth have to live with him at his
villa in the" environs of Alexandria : and
he threatened to kill her in case she
should attempt to escape. Her prayers,
her tears, her despair weie unavailing,
and, trusting to meet by-and-by with an
opportunity to communicate with her
friends, she followed Kervel to Alex
andria. The house to which he took
her was situated about three miles
from the city ; it was well furnished,
and she was well treated, except that
she was not allowed to leave the place
A very strict surveillance was kept over
her by the servants, whose language
Bhe was unable to understand. She be
gan already to despair, when Kervel
one day told she must go with him up
the Nile. Two days afterward he
brought her to the country palace of
wealthy Egyptian, Balan Bey. and to
her horror, she found that Kervel had
ceded her to him, and that she was
henceforth to be the inmate of an Ori-
ental harem filled with Egyptian and
Abyssinian women, who looked with
decided aversion upon the fair lew
comer. For four months she endured
all the horrors of this life, when she
was one day introduced by Balan Bey
to an elderly man, who was no other
than Nubar Pacha, a noted Egyptian
cVplomatist, and conversant with the
French language. She confided her
self to him, and he immediately promi
sed to restore her to her husband. A
few days afterward she was on board
the Alexandrian steamship Calathee,
bound for Marseilles.
The Marseilles papers, in comment
intt on this extraordinary case, demand
that President Thiers should insist
upon the extradition of Kervel, on the
part of the Egyptian authorities. Ker
vel is said to be quite, a favorite of the
Khedive'6, and a man of the most des
perate character.

Trinity Church Bobbed.
Trinity Church of New York was
robbed by a daring burglar. The com
munion service, used during Sunday
servioe, is valued at over $20,000, and
many of its pieces were sent to tne
church by crowned heads in Europe.
This is evidently what the thief was
after;
On the south side of the chancel are
two vestry rooms, each having a large
window. Each window is protected by
three light sashes. The windows are
about three feet above the ground, and
the snow reached up nearly to the sills.
To open the sashes was easy. The
windows swing on pivots, which enter
small apertures on each side oi the wood
work. They are opened and closed by
means of cerds fastened to the upper
part of their edges, and running to
small iron pulleys fastened inside, a
short distance above the upper sil, and
thence down nearly to the floor. When
tie window is closed the cord is pulled
down and tied to a small catch between
the sill and the floor.
The burglar scaled the picket fence in
Rector street, about sixty feet west of
Broadway. "He had previously placed a
large stone on the top of the inside
stone wall on which the fence fests,
so once on the fence he could step down
without getting caught on the sharp
edges of the pickets. He landed near
the tomb of Alexander Hamilton, and
took a semi-circuitous route in a north
westerly direction toward the. chancel.
The distance was about 250 feet. With
an eight-inch dagger he pried open the
weak s.ashes, and then went to work at
the window of the middle vestry room.
Turning his back toward the heavy
wood work, he forced the windows
slightly-inward, making a smaller aper
ture. The cord's elasticity assisted him.
He then cut the cord and entered.
Drawing a dark lantern from beneath
his coat, he took a rapid survey of the
room.
Inside were half a dozen desks
with drawers, all of which were locked.
The walls are nearly covered with mar
ble tablets, commemorative of the great
men of the country. Under the window
opening into the rear of these rooms
stood a box used to hold the loose earth
when vaults are opened for interments,
and by standing on this box it was easy
to force the window open. Once inside
the burglar had his own way. Desks
were turned upside down, their drawers
forced open, and doors broken off, while
their contents; consisting of books and
letters; were scattered over the floor.
The burglar examined -almost every
thing, even to the letters from the
English royal family and many of the
nobility. He secured the contents of
the contribution boxes, which Dr.
Ogilby says probably contained fifty to
sixty dollars. He then retraced his
steps, going south of the, Hamilton
tomb, and escaped into Hector street,
over the fence at the point where he had
entered.
The footprints in the snow north of
the tomb were regular and of large size,
while those south of the tomb were
irregular and had a trail, indicating
that the burglar had been frightened,
and ran toward the street. Among the
stuff scattered on the floor the dagger
was found, as was also a very large
pocket knife, open and ready for instant
use. Sexton August, who generally
sleeps in this room, was absent at the
time. Since the robbery of St. Paul's
Church, four years ago, the church
plate has been kept in the bank vault.
Among the communion plate were
several pieces from the Prince of Wales
and Prince Arthur. When these royal
youths were in this country they attend
ed divine worship at this church, and
were each presented with elegant gold
bound Bibles. In return, they each
sent to the church some silver plate.
Ameng the papers, which the burglars
scattered over the floor, are letters from
the most distinguished Episcopal
Bishops and ministers in this country
and in England. They were highly
prized.
Collision of a Comet with the Earth.
The Illinois Stavts Zeituna thinks
that Prof. Plantamour was, after allf
right in his calculations aboet the
comet ; he only erred m the time as
signed to the catastrophe, which hap-
pened about a hundred days later than
predicted. According to te testimony
of a number of lierman astronomers-the
anticipated collision took place on the
27th ult., when they observed no less
than 50,000 meteors, all believed to be
the ruins of Bicla's comet. A comet
has actually come into contact with our
planet, or rather into its outer atmos
phere, and the former got, as it deserved,
decidedly the worst of it.
Among all tne nigh flyers m our solar
system, says the Inter-Ocean, there is
perhaps, none better Known to our
celestial police then the so-called Biela's
comet. Revolving at nearly the. same
distance from- the sun as the earth it
was long expected that the two might
some time collide, and- a close watch
was consequently kept on the motions
of the comet. Finally in 1846, some
astronomical detectives were started to
discover that the comet had parted into
two pieces, which continued to circle
on in the same orbit, but 200,000 miles
distant from one another.
In the year 1852 the piece was sighted
once more, but the distance between
them had extended to over a million
and a half miles. When again due, in
1859, the unfavorable position of our
earth prevented an observation, and in
1865 all telescopes swept the skies for
them in vain. The result is, two as
sumptions : First, that the comet has
entirely broken up, and its particles now
roam through space in a demoralized
and reckless condition ; second, that the
great meteorical shower observed on the
27th ult., in Europe, was caused by the
motion oi these particles when passing
through our outer atmosphere.
One and Two Story Men.
All I act collectors, who have no aim
beyond their facts, are one story men,
Two story men compare, reason, gener
alize, using the labors of the tact col
lectors as well as their own. Three
story men idealise, imagine, predict,
their best illumination comes from
above, through the skylight. There are
minds with large ground floors that can
store an innnite amount of knowledge
some librarians, for instance, who know
enough of books to help other people
without being able to make much use
of their own knowledge, have intellects
of this class. Your great working law

is clear because his mental floors are
large, and he has room to arrange his
thoughts so that he can get at them-

ordered series. Poets are often narrow

A California judge recently went to
San Francisco to seek relief from a sin
gular malady whidh had baffled the
skill of the physicians in his own town
The symptoms of the disease were very
Eeculiar. The little finger of the right
and was first affected, turning green at
the tip, and causing such intense pain
that the sufferer was unable to sleep
without the aid of narcotics. The same
unaccountable phenomenon appeared
and disappeared successively from one
after another of each of the other fingers
on the left hand, passing afterward 'into
the second toe of the left foot, and h
nally seating itself in the extremity of
the middle hnger of the left hand, al
ways accompanied in its eccentric re
movals by distressing sensations which
rendered everything like rest or repose
not STtpermancea uj arugn impossible.
The Ruby and Sapphire.
The recent diamond swindle having
attracted much attentiom throughout
te whole wprld, the following abstract
of a paper-read by J; Lawrence smith,
at the last meeting of the American
Association for the Advancement , of
Science, will be read with interest :
" The writer exhibited some speci
mens which he received from Montana.
In referring to the density of rubies, he
remarked -that a pint of these stones
would make two pints with their con
stituents. The finest rubies and sap
phires came from Asia' and South Amer
ica. Many of these gems were to 1)9
found in our own country, the God of
natnre having blessed us with every
thing needful and useful. The speaker
had bestowed much attention upon the
subject of which he was speaking, hav
ing explored Asia Minor, the Grecian
archipelago, and the East Indies for
specimens of the gems. Four months
ago he received a package from Trout
River, Montana, and discovered that
the contents of the package were true
sapphires and Oriental emeralds. They
were small, did not possess the right
color, but nevertheless were . gems.
Montana was rich with them. The gems
from there were perfectly transparent.
The Arizona diamonds were the color
less sapphire or ruby. If these were
cut and polished, it would puzzle a jew
eler to teu the diflerence between tnom
and the real diamond. The Arizona
gems were hard, and would cut any
stone but tiamond. The tact that they
were so hard often led to the error of
confounding them with diamonds. The
professor had hoped to receive a pack
age of gems from San Francisco, from
the newly-discovered heists, in time lor
this meeting, but had failed to do so.
The new discoveries were similar to the
gems which he submitted for the inspec
tion oi the association. The Montana
gems lacked value in the particular that
they lacked color. They would have
half the value of diamonds if the green
color was more intense. Rubies and
sapphires beyond a certain size exceed
ed the dimond in value, for the reason
that diamonds never get beyond that
size. Valuable corundum had been
found in North Carolina, but most of it-
had been only half gems. Some were
very pure, and are now being cut in
.Boston and set in jewelry. The gems
from New Jersey lack transparency.
The ruby most prized was that in which
the faintest tint of blue intermingled
withe the red. In sapphires the intense
blue color is most appreciated. In con
cluding his remarks, Mr. Smith remark
ed that America had all the metals of
the globe. .
"Prof. Kerr, in alluding to the loca
tion in which rubies had been discov
ered in North Carolina, said they
were found 'principally in Cherokee
and Macon Counties. Several mines
were being worked in these, counties,
and had already yielded several tuus,
A man in Philadelphia owned a ruby
which came from North Carolina, and
which weighed a pound. Another Phil
adelphia gentleman had in his possession
a crystal of eorundum which weighed
315 pounds. The North Qarolina gems
were only found in connection with the
unique beds of trysolite. These beds
extend from the old North State into
Virginia, a distance of 190 miles."
The Snow-Storms of the Past.
Among the great snow-storms of the
past few were more extended in their
range or more disastrous to life and
property than that of January 17, 1867.
It lasted nearly twenty-hve hours, and
Avas accompanied by a furious gale and
very' cold weather. .It extended as far
west as the Plains and was bounded on
the south by the Ohio and Potomac
although some, of its effects reached to
Hampton Roads. Another severe storm
occurred on the 20th. Wrecks were
piled up along the coast and scores of
lives were lost. Many persons were
bewildered in the snow and quite
number were frozen to death, especially
in New England. Among these was
Commodore G. S. Blake, who got be
wildered in going to his home in the
suburbs or .Boston and took refuge m a
hut. He never recovered from the
shock of the exposure.
rom two to four feet of snow fell
throughout the Middle States. Four
feet was the reported depth in Pitts
burg, and as it was much drifted, the
consequence was the interruption of
communication between the cities and
country for several days. Many people
were barricaded in their homes. Steam
boats were kept in port, rail-cars were
snow-bound, and mails were delayed in
a remarkable manner. There was no
regular communication by rail between
New York and Boston for four days.
The records of the past contain ac
counts of many similar storms ; but the
most striking facts concerning them
were naturally observed in New Eng
land. The storm of January 19, 1857, stop
ped all the railroads of New England.
The Stonington road was not opened
until January 27. Trains did not com.
nwnce running between Hartford and
Providence until the same day. In
some parts of Connecticut the thermom
eter was 30 degrees below zero.
In the storm of December 28, 1853,
the snow began falling at eleven o'clock
Wednesday morning and continued till
four o'clock Thursday afternoon. The
snow was drifted as high as .the tops of
the cars. A train of three locomotives
started from a neighboring town toward
Boston and was embedded in a drift at
the end of the seventh mile. The next
day a. train of three locomotives occu
pied from- morning till night in accom
plishing five miles.
The great snow-storm of .January 15,
1831 was a stupendous one. The snow
was drifted in some places in the cities
to the depth of fifteen feet. The churches
were generally closed on the . following
Sunday ; partly because the snow was
piled so high against the doors that thy
could not be opened.
In February, 1829, so heavy a snow fell
that many persons engaged in festivities
commemceatiye of Washington's birth
day throughout the country were snow
ed up in halls and had to remain in them
for days. J. Y. Paper.

Mrs. Breton, in her cook-book, 'says:
To make nice breakfast cakes take one
pound of flour, one-half teaspoon tartar
ic acid, one-half teaspoon salt, one-half
teaspoon soda, and one and one-half
large clips of milk, one ounce of sifted
loaf sugar, two eggs. Make them as you
would soda bread, with the addition of
sugar and eggs. Mix flour, tartaric acid
and salt well together, taking care that
the two latter arc reduced to finest pow
der, and stir in the sifted sugar. Dis
solve the sugar in the milk, add the
eggs, which should be well whisked,
and with this liquid work the flour, &c. ,
into a light dough. Divide into small
cakes, place in the oven immediately,
and bake for twenty minntem
Vagaries of a Blind Man.
I am to be introduced to a remarkable
character, whom I wish Charles Dick
en's had happened to fall in with. Let
this feeble pen recall what it may of his
specialities, .See, we near him, led now
by his daughter, (for he is blind,) to
sit for an hour in the cloisters. He is
in conversation with himself conversa
tion interspersed with short sconaf ul
laughs, upon the one master-subject of
his thought. I ; have been forewarned
as to his little peculiarity, at least, his
special peculiarity of all, which is that
all his thoughts run perpetually upon
the devil. It is concerning that fallen
angel that he holds- those sarcastic
soliloquies, talking, if not to him, at any
rate of him. So for granted does he
take it, that the subiect of his own
thoughts is also certainly and always the
subject ol yours, that he never thinks it
necessary to go beyond pronouns, nor
to specify by any name the lost spirit
who is his perpetual theme. It is always
"He, or "His. So I am prepared
when, upon my brother's accosting him
he plunges into the subiect without ex
planation or preface. At present he
seems m a somewhat aympathetic vein.
ihey runs him down shocking.
shocking, everywhere. Why, there am t
a murder or a thelt committed, but they
lays it an at his uoor. 1 suppose, sir,
he eggs 'em on, that s it. They rum
him down where you came from, sir, I
suppose ?"
"Oh, yes! but here's a gentleman
wants to talk to you; he has just come
Irom a long way on.
"Well-, what' sort of a character 'do
they give him: down there ? I dare sav
they runs him there? Ahab served him
well, sir. Jeremiah used to run him.

us !"
He rather startled my sister one sultry
summer day, when she accosted Jiim iv
passing "Very hot, Billy!" "Ah!" he
rejoined, " but what must it be there !"
Billy's knowledge of" the Bible -vs-nf
something very marvelous. When hf
did turn for awhile from his favorite
hero, the conversation was all of diver?
Scripture characters, in a world of whicl'
the old man seemed really to live. Thu
was the more enrieus, inasmuch as he
was Dima. jl suppose his intimate ac
quaintance with them came, or was kep
up, in this way. He never missed either
morning or afternoon prayers at the
chapel. . You might see him shufflinr
in, ddubtless looking with special zest
to a chapter which should . introduce
" him." If " he" were " run" in a ser
mon, it seemed rather to excite hi?
championship for "him," but still" there
evidently was a fascination in the subject
which made it a delight to hear "him"
"run" than not treated of at all. The
most remarkable thing was that BillT
knew perfectly, though blind, the pro
per lesson for every day, matins anr1
even-song, in the Christian year. And
more than this, he was determined thn
the right lesson, and no other, shoulr'
be read. Thus, one day, in full chapel.
an unhappy canon went to the lectern
and began to read. Forthwith, Billy
shuffles over to him and pulls his sur
plice. It's the wrong lesson, sir." The
poor man tried to go on, but Billy per
severed, until there was nothing left but
to return to the desk and look, where
upon the mentor was seen to be right.
The old man was also a great critic or
sermons. Few things offended him
more than to have the proper subject of
the day or season ignored.
" Mr. Moss came and preached here,
preached on Advent Sunday a sermor
fit for Christmas. Quite wrong. Just
the same on the Epiphany. Why
conlrln't he preach on the su'iject of the

He evidently disliked what has been
called " stale bread."
"You'll soon have a man here, sir, to

I've heard him preach old sermons, I'd
sit you down to the finest dinner you
ever ate in your life.
Enough of thee, Billy! May the hour
and the day arrive to thee when evil an
o-els and nights' shadows shall together
flee from eyes and mind; and a galaxy of
white. serious-eyeM, sweet angels greet
thy recovered vision. The Country
Parson.
Hatching Salmon.
The inquiries of Mr. Livingston Stone,
made under the direction of Professor
Baird, ' United States Commissioner of
Fish and Fisheries, in relation to the
salmon of California, have revealed p
very remarkable difference in the eggs
of that species as compared with those
of the true Salrno salar of the Eastern
States. The most noticeable fact is
their relatively small number, the for
mer having 700 to the pound instead of
1,000. The eggs- are, of course: appre
ciably larger than those of the Atlantic
coast, being almost equal in size to a
common whortleberry. Owing probably
to the higher temperature of the water.
or to other causes, the development is
mncK more rapid, since the eye spots
are visible in the eggs within nineteen
days after impregnation, and they begin
to hatch m twenty-four days afterward,
making a total of only forty-three days
as the period oi incubation.
The hatching water varied in tempera
ture from 55 to 65 and even 70 every
day, so that it is difficult to say what
is the average temperature for the hatch
ing period; but Mr. Stone estimates
this at 58 to 60. Fourteen hours out
of the twenty-tour namely, trom six
o'clock p. m. to eight o'clock a. m. the
water averaged nearly 55.
The eggs after spawning were treated
according to the dry method of im
pregnation, and the experiments were
successful in nearly every instance.
Another curious fact noticed by Mr.
Stone was the entire absence of female
grilse, all, of the great number observed
on the M'Cloud River, being males;
and indeed he remarks that he has never
seen a female grilse elsewhere, although
' persons assured him that they had had
a different experience.
A "Word About Proof-Reading.
Every column of a newspaper contains
from ten to twenty thousand distinct
pieces of metal, according to the paper
and the tppe. The displacement of a
single one makes an error. Is it any
wonder that errors occur ? In the large
offices professional proof-readers are
kept whose practiced eyes, passing
twice over every line of proof, detect
most of the . errors ; a boy is also kept
for that purpose at the same time read
ing the copy aloud.
Still mistakes are frequently occur
ring after coming from such hands, and
probably no book or newspaper was ever
published without errors that might be
detected by the merest novice. In book
printing it is estimated that proof-reading
costs half as much as composition.
Desiring to prevent explosions in
mines caused by the carelessness of to
bacco smokeiis, an ingenious person in
England proposes to have tobacco
smoke furnished in mines in the same
way as gas or water is supplied to

jars of tobacco placed on the surface of
the ground, near the pit's mouth, the
emoke from which is to be inhaled
through india-rubber tubes running in

miners has not, however, bem assured

The Sentence of Stokes.
Edward S. Stokes, the murderer of
Col. James Fisk, Jr., has been sentenced
to death. . The scene in Court was a sad
one. When Stokes stood up the Clerk
of the Court said : "Edward S. Stokes,
what have you now to say why the sen
tence of death should not be pronounced
against you ?"
Stokes' reply was as follows : " I can
only say that I am innocent of the crime
of which 1 now stand convicted. 1 did
not intentionally violate any laws of the
land. I would also5' like to say that I
noticed in one of to-day's papers an in
terview with one of the jury, Mr. Bolles,
I think it is, in which he stated that
probably it would have been better that
1 should not have got on the stand, lor
the reason that I testified that the pistoJ
with which Fi6k met his death I had
never fired off, when the jury all knew
that 1. had fired it off repeatedly at
Saratoga with Col. Fellows. I have
only to say that if that interview ie
true, that 1 neverfiredit oft at baratoga,
and that it never has been discharged
by me except twice. I knew that all
the testimony that was given for the de
fence was viewed lightly by the jury.
T feel convinced of that, and I know
that public clamor has been .aroused
against me from the frequent murders
m JNew York City. 1 know that the
evidence of Thomas Hart, upon which
I have been convicted, is false, from be
ginning to end. I believe that the
prosecution knew it, for Judge Garvin
never alluded to it when he summed up
the case on the former trial. ThatisalJ
T have to say. I hope you will make
the sentence as bnet as possible.
In sentencing Stokes the Court said
To me remains the painful duty of

Buffalo Hunters Frozen to Death.
From parties just arrived from South
western Kansas, we learn that the
weather has been severe beyond endur
ance, and the suffering among the hnnt-
rs beggars description. A farmer who
arrived in Wichita, Reports having over
taken a team loaded with buflal skins,
and on the wagon, stiff with the cold.
sat the driver, permitting the team te
wander at will over the prairies, and
entirely unable to help himself. He
told the farmer he was frozen and com
pelled to remain in the position he was.
and at the same beckoned wih his hear'
to the wagon-box, thus calling attention
to the contents of the bed. Upon look
ing over the side of the box a terrible
sight was before him. There lying side
by side were two hunters frozen stiff ir
death, and as the wagon jolted over the
roupjh plain, they knocked together like
two great icicles.
The centleman who brought the new
to Wichita had his hands'so badly frozer
as to make amputationnecessarv shortly
after his arrival. He was unable to give
the names fit any of the unfortunate
'narty. We also learn from The Wichita
Beacon, that a party of four went into
camp on Moot s Creek, 'Art miles from
timber, who have undoubtedly perished.
At a house 12 miles west of Wichita. 15
men arrived during the night of the 23d.
all frozen. Some of them will lose their
feet, others their hands and fingers.
The road between Wichita and the buf
falo range is strewn with buffalo hides
and meat, abandoned by their owners to
save themselves and teams.
Another Tear Gone. .
The vear 1872 is pone. The old cal
endar is torn down and a clean one set
iit. which shall hansr its few hnndred
days and erive way in turn to another
when we are all a year older. The old
almanac finds it way. with otlier rnbbisn.
into the barrel in the attic, and its old
iokes come in between new covers. The
old diary has become a history, the old
day-book a curiosity, and the old man
an older man. It is a new year, with n
nleasant power of chancre over our lives
and in our homes, too, with many of
us : but in the homes of the very por,
which are no homes, the new year is not
new, the same old story saddenins; in
repetition and beginning m 1873 vmth
the suffenne: and want of an evl winter.
Most meet and timely then is it tnat out
of his abundance the pood citizen make
plentions offering in chanty, and open
thus as far as may be a credit side on
his yearly account with heaven. " ' He
that giveth to the poor,' " quoted the
reverend Dow. "'lendethto the Lord.
Do not forget the adage, and practice it
the present year. It will do good.
Mr. James Low, Bio Frio, McMullen
county, Texas, commenced stock-raising
in 1856. with ten cows and calves ; He
owned a slave whom he hired out for
one cow and calf per month. Mr. Low
attended to stocks of cattle tor one-third
of the increase, bought stocks on credit,
and paid for them by sales oi beeves.
He now has 50,000 head of stock-cattle,
5.000 head of beeves, and branded last
year 15,000 head of calves.

The 51-hour per week system is about

Power of Memory.
Dr. Johnson, it is said, never forgot
anything he had seen, heard, or read.
Burke, Clarendon, Gibbon, Locke,
Tilotson, were all distinguished for
strength of memory. When alluding to
this subject, Sir William Hamilton ob-
serves : J or iieuectuai power oi me
highest order, none were distinguishei
above Grotius and Jf ascai ; anu urouua
and Pascal forgot nothing they had ever
read or. thought. Leibnitz and Euler
were not less celebrated for their intelli
gence than for their memory ; and both
could repeat the whole of the "iEneid."
Donellus knew the " Corpus Juris" by
heart ; and yet he was one of the pro-
foundest and most original speculators
in iurisnrudence. Ben Jonson tells us
that he could repeat all that he had ever
written, and whole books that he had
over read. Tnemistocles could call by
t.heir names the twenty thousand citi
zens of Athens. Cyrus is reported to
have known the name of every soldier
m his army. Hortensms (after Cicero,
the greatest orater of Rome"), after sit
ting a whole day at a public sale, cor
rectly enunciated from memory all the
things soul, their prices, and the names
of their purchasers. Niebnhr, the his
torian, was no less distinguished for his
memory than for his acuteness. In his
vouth he was employed in Denmark.
Part of a book of accounts having been
destroyed, he restored it by an effort of
memory.
