ne puOiic lNlNU III DoSiOil mas some
what recovered from its horror at the frs
announcement Of the death of DR.. Park
man. The Chronotype incidentally give:
some strong arguments in favor of Prof
| Webster's innocence. For example, i
shows the absurdity Of supposing that 8
thorough chemist, like DR.. Webster, could
have made such piece Of work Of de.
s,roying a dead body when he had con.
troll OF the means of decomposing every
! muscle. bone and tooth of il. so as TO pass
, il off into its ultimate principles. and give
II back in a few hours 10 air, sea and soil
Just as il was before q man was born.-
! The work speaks the workman. If q
burglary has been committed and the
breach in the house shows that half the
labor of making il was expended awk.
wardly and necdlessly, then we know il
was not done by q carpenter or mason
Chemistry. especially analytic chemistry
the chemistry Of decomposition. is DR.
Webster's trade. Acting chemically. he
must act as good workman. with what
ever trepidation. To botch and blunder
like an ignorant savage. would be out ol
his power. The fear and horror of con-
scious guilt might put it ou; Of his power
to act at all. out if it did not, if he acted
deliberately and perseveringlv, he could
not possibly act in an altogether unwork-
manlike. unchemical manner. Now tha,
job of destroying the body Of DR.. Park
man, supposing i, was his body, done as
it was in a chemical labra,ory, well pro-
vided with nitric and other powerful acids
and sufficient utensils, was done as nc
chemist would do it. The utter neglec,
of the best means Of chemical destruc.
ton, which stood about there, is proof
strong as holy writ, that the doer of tha
foul deed. did not understand the use O
them. In other words ho was not DR.
u ebster.
Again says the Chronotype. if ~e had
been going TO defend DR.. Webster, in
stead of merely attempting to recall the
public mind to a state Of sobre.y and
reason. we should have attempted TO show
how his behavior, when the damnine
charge was made known to him, was tina,
proper TO an innocent man. 4 guilty
man has his excuses and defences pre-.
pared. he has his anti spasmodics ready
for use. His conduct after the very firs
moment of suspicion shows that he has
thought it all over beforehand. But ar
innocent man is smitten down bv the
shock. The unknown and the horrible
overwhelm him! He must 60 through {
certain agony before he can show any
tolerable equanimity. Browning in hi
"Gismond" has well hit this trait Of hu
man nature. The Queen Of the Tour
ney. just as she was going to crown the
victor. was dishonored by Count Gauthie
with a false charge of unchastity to hc
face. She thus speaks Of her state O
feeling under such an accusations:
81? What I answered? As l live
/ never fancied such a thing
As answer possible TO give.
What says the the body when they spring

best challenges to the field. to fight duel.
that we ever heard of, was made by .
truly honorable gentleman, the late VIII

editorial controversy with brother editor
in which he came off with flying colors.
magnanimously offered to his opponent
honorable satisfaction in the field; the
weapons to be hoes. each party to dig
one acre of potatoes. and he whose work
was done the best and in the shortest time
to be declared the victor. Should the chal.
lenge to mortal potato digging he accept

liminaries for the settlement Of all diff.
culties. No bad results could arise from
such duel.-[Boston Journal.

The servants tugged. with might and

it across the floor.
Capt. Hull. then took key out Of his

ponderous lid. Behold! 1t was full OF

and Samuel Sewell began to think that
his father-in-law had got possession of all
the money in Massachusetts Treasury.
But it was only the mint-master's honest
share in the coinage.
Then the servants. at Captain Hun's
command. heaped double hands full Of
shillings into one side of the scales. while
Betsey remained in the other. Jingle,

handful was thrown in. till. plump. and
ponderous as she was, they fairly weighed

thank heaven for her. 1t is not every wife

The children laughed heartily at this
legend, and would hardly be convinced
but that grandfather had made it out Of
