Kresu from a uap on the parlor wall,
Out for a llight over garden and lawn,
Fearing no tumble and dreuding no fall,
Came a tly;
A lively, frolicsome, blue-bottle fly;
Aiid his feet
Were as neat,
And bis style
As complete
At bis brain
Was ri'plete
With the mischief that laughed in bis eye!
'What glorious fun I'll have to-day,
When the Baby's asleep and the nurse away;
When Rover lies by the kitchen door;
I'll waken them both and make them roar!
Oh, what larks!"
Cried the rollicking, reckless blue-bottle fly;
"What aery,"

"There will be
After me,
When I've done
With my fun!"
And he wickedly wiuked his wee eye!
"Then I'll go and dance on grandpa's bead',
While be struggles to brush me away;
And tickle bis ear till he'll wish I was dead!

Back and forth.
And feast on crumbs from a newly-baked tile!
And I'll sip

Quoth this rietouo blue-bottle fly.
But, alu for the plans he bad laid!
And alas for tbe day Just begun!
For this fly soon lit in tbe grateful shade
To escape tbe hot ravs of the sun ;

Way.
The liii witness lor the prosecution, on Fri
day !' Iict week, to rebut the evidence of
(Juiieinr iiisiinity, was ilie He'. H A MeAr
thur, of Olivary P.nptii-t elinrcli, New York,
lie related bow (illlteiill lunl applied to hi
church for luluiisMoii by letter from the Firbt
llajitiM church, Chicago. How be li.-ul lior
rowed $100 Iioni tlie w itness, which of coure
wiw ncvir repaid, nnd how, on account of gross
ininior.ility, he was subNtipiciitly expelled
from the church. The witness wim constantly
interrupted by (tU'lruu, with declarations
'Thai's false," "that's not so," Ax-., but fill tin r
on iid.uitti il most of it to be true. Mr. Ren
ville objected to the testimony hh wholly iric
levant, but .Mr. Corkhill "brought down the
house" by saying, "We present this testimony
to show that u hut tlin delense call insanity is
nothing more than devilish depravity."
(ieo. V. I'luuimer, of Chicago, testilled that
(Juiteau had occupied a desk in his ofhee lor
some, months, for which, of course, bd ni-vur
mild anything. He seemed to have n deal of
collection business and went in find out like
any other business man. Nvcr saw anything
about him to indicate Insanity. (Juiteau con
stantly interrupting the witness, tbe latter said,
It seems your close relations with the Deity
ol lale have corrupted your manners." Qui
teau laughed heartily al this sally and said it
wasn't had for u western mini. Witness add
ed ; "(Juileau seemed to be a man ot ability,
vain and conceited ; but then, he had 'late troin
New York city' on his card, and we expected
the rest." This convulsed the court.
Stephen English, editor of the N. Y. lunar,
nitre Tiiiir detailed a conlldence game that
(Juiteau played upon him which required un
usual skill and' adroitness and said be was al
together too sane for bim (witness). (Juiteau
shouted to tin; witness that he was adlily liar,
witling "W hy, 1 wouldn't spit on you in the
street, you old scoundrel."
Warren (J. 1 frown mid Charles llachlc, New
York lawyers, testified to sundry dead beat
transactions of whielit Juiteau had beeu guilty
and which showed great cunning and depravi
ty but no insanity. Tin y were constantly in
terrupted by the prisoner, calling them liars,
Ac, and the latter he said was "a Jew, also,
ami a dirty one at that."
Senator Hen Harrison, of Indiana, testified
that last slu ing the prisoner had bored bim a
good deal about bis application for ollice, but
he bad never imagined him insane.
J). .Mi Lain Shaw testified that (Juiteau bad
told him last spring that he was bound to have
notoriety sonic way or other, and he might kill
some man in imitation of Wilkes Hooth. (Jui
teau jumped up intensely excited and exclaim,
ing "That's alow, dirty lie," proceeded to pour
upon the w itness a lorrcnt of abuse.
Tbe court adjourned to Monday.
Monday tbe court was occupied all day by
the examination of Dr. Spitzka, of Mew Y'ork,
as an expert, called by the defense to prove
Guilcau's insanity. Witness bad made the
study of ineulul diseases: a specialty and had
testified as an expert in about twenty other
cases. lie had examined the prisoner In jail
on Sunday and was satisfied that he Is insane.
Witness considered the main feature of the
prisoner's case lo bo a tendency to the forma
tion of delusive opinions and morbid projects,
and stiong indication ol imbeciliiy and judg
ment, "and while," said the witness, "I have
no other evidence than the expression of Ins
face, 1 should have no doubt that he is amoral
imbecile or a moral monstrosity." lie be
lieveif he must have beeu in a more or less
morbid menial state throughout Ins life, and
that he was probably insane on the 2d of July.
The witness concluded from the shape i.f
the lace and head and the defective innova
tion of the facial muscles, and from pro
nounced deviation of the tongue to the left,
that the prisoner was born witli unequal de
velopment oi brains; that his iusamtv was
congenital. Witness described with great par
ticularity peculiarities of head formation
which he had delected ill tbe prisoner s case.
He thought in tbe prisoner's case the ineiiuali
ty m the two sides of the head was three times
greater than in a normal head. Inequality
could betaken as an Indication of moral im
becility only in proportion to its degrees. The
witness continued : "If I had only that man's
pointing at Uuiieau mean face to judge by,
would say he was a depraved man or an in
sane man; but introducing oilier lactors,
unequal formation of the head, Inequality of
facial expression, and deviation of tongue, 1
am of opinion that thu trouble is of congenital
origin."
Witness was asked if the prisoner was able
to distinguish between right and wrong, ami
eclincd to express nn opinion as to Ins moral
responsibility, but from an examination of the
prisoner he was of the opinion that since
he thu prisoner J has lieen a lawyer he has
ilwaya known the ordinary legal const-
pieuces ot criminal acts.
I'lic witness was sharply cross-examined by
Corkhill witli an evident purpose to discredit
his testimony. Among other questions be was
asked whether he had not taken a fee as au
expert in one case on one side ami then taken
a larger fee in the same case on the other side.
I'he Doctor indignantly denied that there was
any basis for such a question and protested
against the right to ask it. (Juiteau yelled
out: That 8 a very Uiriy question lor you to
ask, Corkhill. ' I'm going to ask Arthur to
kick you out ol this esse. Why, this man is
one of the first scientists of the country. Why,
he wouldn't condescend to spit on you, Cork
hill. You are in bad repute, Corkhill, with
every member of the bar. You are an unruiti
gated nuisance in thiscusc."
The witness finally answered: "Most de
cidedly, no."
Court adjourned without concluding the ex
aminatlon.
On Tuesday tbe cross-examination of Dr.
Splt.kaby Col. Corkhill was resuired, in the
course of which (Juiteau, who bad come into
court in apparently tbo best of npirlts, soon
lost control ot himself and became more trou
bleaome during tbe day than usual. When
Corkhill tdiowrd a diagram of his head, by
which he asked Spitzka to explain how the
prisoner's head was out of thane, the latter
said that accounted for a batter appearing at
his cell that morning and giving him anew
hat, and he abuaed Corkhill for playing that
trick on him. Subsequently this was followed
up by a coarse attack on ."(hat crank De Witt
Talmage" cf New York, whom be denounced
as a liar, bawdy-house pimp, &c. The cross
examination elicited nothing worthy of note.
Dr. Foidyce linker of New York was called
by tbe prosecution to counteract tbe rathei
hold .statements of Dr. Spitzka in regard t
(Juiteau's mental delusions, and made qum
an impression by the very positive declarator,
nf his belief in the prisoner's Minity.
Half a dozen of other witnesses followed,
who testified to a variety of (Juiteau's dead
beat and swindling transactions in New loir
an 1 Chicago, to bis intense indignation, so
that be heaped all sorts of abuse upon thciu
on'; alter the other.
UNCLE EPHRAIM.
"Oh, dear me! it docs look sort of dilapidi-
tcd," saul .Mis. Angelina Sparkler, survey irg
the high, old, rauiblibg villa, which was to to
iler future home. "1 hope it won't tuinUe
over."
"This old balcony looks picturesque, but
it's horrid damp, and there's a lot of fungi
growing out of the edge," observed Miss Cm
sandra, kicking over a chunky toad stool w iih
the toe of her delicate boot.
"Ah, well!" sighed Mrs. Sparkler, sitting
down upon one of the trunks the porter bid
just brought in, and folding her hands with
dejected resignation. "I suppose poor cna
tun-sin reduced circumstances like us ought
to be glad to have any kind of roof over ur
heads."
"That's all stull '!" returned Cassandra, Hing
ing her hat and parasol upon a trunk. "Vc
nia'l glad, are we?"
"Niy, Cass, see that nouse across me ueoge .-
demanded Miss Theodora Sparkler, tlultcri.ig
into the room, mid pointing through the w.n-
dow to a stately residence, whose grounds ad
joined their own.
"1 suppose I've got eyes, reioricu .uissv -saudra;
"and I suppose it's very comforting
to sou an elegant mansion like that so close to
our antediluvian ark."
"Hold on 1 lemine tell you," ran on her sis
ter, talking so fast she tuukl not take time to
pionounee her words properly. "Our girl toM
me that it is owned by a tearfully rich "Id
bachelor."
"(Joodiiess sakes! why didn't you say so
before?"
"Keep still for a moment, Cass. Me imi t
home now, but will be home this fall"
Here a third young lady came Hying in,
with her hat tumbling oil" backwards, and be
gan to talk before Theodora could finish her
sentence.
"Who do you think's over at that house
across tbe hedge?'' she demanded, dancing
about .until she tin. lad ui on her skirt and
fell over a flower pot, "liucss guess! 1 caw
him."
"The rich old bachelor?" cued Cassai.dra
and Theodora, in a breath; and Cassandra
added, tartly: "You always do get the start of
us, Coial, you little minx!"
" Twasu'l the rich old bachelor. lie hasn't
come home yet," answered Coral. "It was
Laurence Haiiey. I was prowling around in
our garden to see what 1 could discover, ami
the garden over there joins it, and he came
out of the house and saw me, and came r.ght
down, said he knew ine by the way my hat
was tilted up on edge, and he says he has
thought of us so often and wondered where
wo were."
"(Jood gracious!" uttered Cassandra.
"My patience!" chirped Theodora.
' Dear, dear, how it brings up fid tunes,"
murmured Mrs. Sparkler "when wo were
somebodies iu the world and society was glad
to- know us. It'a a wonder Laurence isn't
married by this time. Hut, then, ho was al
ways a careless creature and never cared for
any one in particular."
"Don't be too certain." quoth Mies Cassan
dra, tossing her tawny auburn braids con
seiously. "Jf we hadn't moved away so sud
denly and left all our friends in the lurch"
"What if we hadn't?" broke in Miss Theo
dora, arching her jetty eyebrows, satirically.
"Don't let your conceit run away with you,
Cass. If I only hadn't llnted so with that
dreadful Major"
"Hut, oh, dear me," Mrs. Sparkler was be
ginning her lamentations. "1 dare say Lau
rence won't care to come and see us now since
our fortuues arc so fallen."
"Oh, yes, ho will," cried Coral. "That don't
make a bit of dillerence. And his fortunes
are fallen, too. He he's the rich bachelor's
head gardener now."
"Head gardener!" gasped Mrs. Sparkler.
"Head gardener!" exploded Miss Cassan
dra. "Head gardener!" wailed Miss Theodora.
"Yes," assented Coral, in a half-irightentd
tone; "but I don't see as it makes such a ter
rible deal ot dillerence. After bis lather fail
ed, he felt he ought to do something to help
him, and couldn't pick and choose had to do
what he could and it was this or nothing.
I le's helping his father now and saving money,
and says he will do better in time"
"For mercy's sake bush!" groaned Mrs.
Sparkler. "I hpe you didn't ask him to call,
Coral?''
"It she did, I hope he'll have better sense
than to do it," said Cassandra, holding her
head very high in the air. "It would bea line
thing, when the owner of that house comes
home, to lind us on intimate terms with his
head gardener."
"1 dare say he asked her if he couldn't come
over," put in Theodora. "He always was as
impudent as tho mischief. Mow didn't he ask
if he could call. Coral?"
"Not only that," retorted Coral, "but be
asked me if he couldn't marry pie as well. He
meant to ask me that last uight before we
moved, but we got interrupted, and the next
day we were gone; and his lolks got into turn-
hie right away alter so no niougni ue uu

must tell mi! anvwav. and"

Sparkler, on the verge of tainting. "What
oh, w hat did you say ?"
"Well I kind ol said yes, it you an umn i
object too strongly"
1 he exclamations mat interrupted ner con
vinced Coral irettv thoroughly that they all
did object very strongly, and made her wish
devoutly for a minute that she had been born
without any ears.
"You wul never have my consent while the
world spins,'- wound up Mrs. Sparkler.
"Nor mine," "nor iniue," echoed Cassandra
and Theodora.
And Coral, quite persuaded in her own
mind that the world might as well come to an
end now as at any other time, curled down in
to a little bunch behind the curtains and cried
until her handkerchief was soaked.
Lutein tbe evening a little old gentleman,
in a tall, woolly rap and a pair of painfully
brilliant spectacles, btood on tho steps of the
Sparkler residence, and rung the bell violent
ly ; and when the door w as oieued by the girl,
Mrs. Sparkler, who was ecring down the
staircase In thedim light, exclaimed to the two
Misses Sparkler U-lil ml her: "Oh, it's Uncle
Ephraiml'' and ran down stairs into his arms,
w ith the two young laid tcs at her heels, i a
state ofgreat curiosity; for, though they had
heard a great deal ol t'uele Kphraim, they
had nevi r ecn him, owing to a streak of ec
centricity which led that gentleman to ramble
about tbe world and cut his relations.
His pet peculiarity bad long been in keep
ing himself secluded in a veil of mystery from
al) his kindred and Irlend. and the last tiding
the Sparklers had received of bim had been
wafted from Brazd.
Having concluded to show himself at last,
bis relations could do no less than be grate! ul
therefor. -
"And these are your (firls, bey ?" said Uncle
Kphraim, surveying Cassandra and Theodora
through the brilliant ppectaclcs; "and not
married yet. bey I hat won't do, Angelina
luat won't do at all!
I'm-Ie Knbraini shook h s head, and evi
dently losing his temper at such a state of af
fairs, he continued with a frown gathering
above his nose:
"It won't do it won't do, Angelina. They
must get married."
"Hut you see, uncle," began Mrs. Sparkler,
"we know nolssly now, owing to our fortunes
having fallen."
"Mother your fortunes!" cried Uncle F.ph
rii tit "Who cares for fortunes? 1 know a
nice young man -splendid young man. I'll
fetch hi in to see you tine young man; sure
to make a fortune some day; saved my life
once. I'll fetch bun to see you tine young
man. He's only a gardener now bead gar

(Jood gracious! Hon t bring a garoener:
shrieked the ladies.
"Uncle, how can you?" sobbed -Mrs. Spark
ler, weeping with the disappointment of hav
ing had her hopes raised only to be knocked
over "a man that digs-a man that raises
vegetables!"
"What of that?" cried Uncle Kphraim,
bouncing out of bis chair in a rage, and grow,
ing angrier and redder with every word. "I
don't cine if he des. I don't care if lie's a
vegetable himself. 1 don't care it he's a cu
cumber, or a case-knife bean, or a Hat Dutch
cabbage, or a gumbo he's a line young man.
Sure to make his fortune, I tell you, Harley w.
I'll letch him to see you."
"Oh, dear! oh, me!" wept Mrs. Sparkler.
"It'll upset everything to bring him here.
Coral wants lo marry him bad enough now,
ami"
"Hey, hey, hey!" shouted Uncle Kphraim,
"Does Coral want to marry him?" And Coral
at that minute entering tlie room, be caught
her by the arm without waiting lor tin intro
duction, thus terrifying her half to death, and
w hirled her round so he could see her face.
"Needn't get scared," be vociferated. "I ain't
no ogre: I'm Uncle Kphraim. And who is it
von want to marry, hey, hey? fs it Laurence
Hurley?"
And in his excitement the little man shook
Coral about so she could only gasp;
"Y ves, it's L Laurence Harley."
Mrs. Sparkler and Cassandra and Theodora
instantly set up a wail.
"And, oh, dear!" said Cassandra, despairing
ly, "what'll the rich old bachelor think when
he comes back?"
"What rich old bachelor what rich old
bachelor?" demanded Uncle Kphraim, squar
ing Ins elbows and transfixing Cassandra with
bis shiny spectacles. "Do you mean tbe old
bachelor who owns the houe across the
hedge hev, bey ? W ho do you reckon 1 am
-hey?"
"I presume you're Uncle Kphraim," said
Mrs. Sparkler, with a slight hint of sarcasm.
"Yes, yes, of course," said Uncle Kphraim
beginning to prance around again ; "and I'm
the rich old bachelor, too. Didn't know that,
did you? Didn't know you'd settled down
next door to Uncle Kphraim. did you? Hut
you're a set of lunatics all but Coral. Can't
tolerate a gardener, can't you ? Hut I tell you
he's my gardener, and a fine young man I'm
going to take him in partnership; he'll be as
rich as the old bachelor himself. You're all
lunatics won't speak to a gardener nice
country t!jis! lovely country thisl Coral shall
ride in her carriage yet. I'm going home
you're all lunatics!"
And I ncle Kphraim skipped oil belore lie
could he detained.
"And I suppose you don't object to my hav
ing Laurence now," said Coral.
"I suppose not," said Mrs. Sparkler, still a
little injured, but ready to catch a stray gleam
of hope. "Seems like Laurcncc'll be quite a
catch after all."
"And here's all my hopes of a rich old bach
elor gone up," said Cassandra, "since he turns
out to be Uncle Kphraim." Snturdiiy Ni'jht.

Tlit-rc lire hut four fishing hook manufacto
ries in tliu I'nited States, and of these three
are lofiiti'tl in Brooklyn, the fourth bcin in
New Haven, Conn. "In the largest ol the
Brooklyn establishments can be seeu one of
the most ingenious ami complicated machines
in existence, which performs about ten diller
cut operations, turning out complete fish-hooks
from plain cast-steel wire iu larger quantities
daily than twenty skillful workmen could
make by Hand. There are only two machines
of the kind iu the world, and both are owned
by the house in question, for which the ma
chine was devised by the inventor, Dr. Crosby,
now deceased. The firm paid a very large
sum for the invention and lor the patent rights,
which it now holds exclusively.
Until recently this invention was opeiated
privately, and no one was allowed to see it
wi rk. The machine consists of two distinct
divisions, each operated independently of the
other by separate gear, yet which, must work
together in perfect harmony. The w ire is un
coiled from a large wheel, and at the same tune
straightened by a series ot revolving roners,
after passing through which it is seized for a
second by ii clutch which holds it in position
to be cut oil' by another knife working at
light angles to the others. This plows up
wit i nr. can cut a small spur oi menu near
tho inn winch is to Drill the heard or oaru oi
the hook. A yet the point remains perfectly
blunt and square, but passing on, it is roughly
pointed by a punch into the form ot a wedge.
At this stage it readies the otJwr machine,
which is tit right angles with the first, und is
dropped into a groove upon an endless chain,
which passes in front of the revolving tiles by
which the hook is to lie finished. At the same
time the miner end of the wire is seized by nn
invisible linger and bent into a ring with the
rapidity ot thought. It is then brought into
contact with the sis tiles, one alter another.
These tiles are in the form of wheels, each ope
rated by a separate belt from the shaft, ami
i-ncli is ot a different decree of fineness, gradu
ated from the rough burr which takes oil ine
wedge, to the little polishing wheel coming
last and leaving the point of the hook almost
ni.rfi-ptlv round. When the hook, finished,
but stiil straight, leaves the last file, a finger
pokes it down upon a ratcliei, w men uu exact
ly into the barb of the book and tirccs it to
ttend around a project ion on a fly-wheel, which
gives the hook its proper shape and throws it
into a receptacle below.
Hy this machine about fifty five hooks a
minute are turned out, all ready to be temper
ed and blued or japanned, or about oii.OrMi.OOO
in a day of ten Hours. If it were allowed to
runvontinually, more hooks would be turned
out than would supply the whole makct for a
year to come, and more than could be conven
iently finished ami packed. Tho production
could be increased to over sixty a minute, but
so high a runniug rate damages the iles and
the finish of the hooks is not bo good. The
w aste in detective hooks is only about five per
cent. Every hook, before being temH-reu, is
Avumint'il Mill sW. and if imperfect is rejected.
