The End of the Rescue Trials.

DoOsh hhu hycCTnIt hhcu anu mprlSOncIs
In the U. S. Court, yesterday morning,
Judge Miller overruled the motion made by
the counsel of S. M. Booth, for new trial
and in arrest of Judgment, and Immediately
thereafter proceeded to pass sentence upon
Messrs. Booth and Ryecraft, who have both
been convicted of the same crime: to wit: a
violation of the Fugitive Slave Act, in as
sis.ing in the escape ofthe alleged Fugitive
Slave, Glover. The Judge sentenced S.
NJ. Booth to be imprisoned for the term of
ONE MONTH in the Jail of Milwaukee county,
and in such other prisons or places as the
Court or the Judge thereof may from time
to time direct, and that he pay fine of
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. and the costs of
prosecution to b. taxed, and that he be ard
remain in custody until this sentence be
complied with.
John Ryecraft was sentenced torEN DAYS
imprisonment in the Milwaukee county Jail,
a fine Two HUNDRED DOLLARS. and no costs,
and to remain in custody till the fine is paid
Immediately after the sentence, the U. S.
Marshal, Mr.. Alderman, conducted Messrs.
Booth and Ryecraft 70 the Milwaukee Co.
Jail and delivered them into the custody of
the Sheriff. They will doubtless re main in
keeping during the time prescribed by Judge
Miller.
Imprisonment for such a cause entails no
disgrace. The offence whereof Messrs
Booth and Ryecraft stand convicted-that
of aiding fellow being to regain his free
don-was one in which hundreds of their
fellow citizens participated, and thousands
sympathized. The law which they violated
is mockery of human justice, disgrace
to American legislation, and foul blot up
on the escutcheon of the Republic. When,
therefore, Messrs. Booth and Ryecraft shall
have completed their brief term of impris-
onment, and returned to their usual ayoca-
tons. they will be met and greeted BY their
fellow citizens as men who have suffered
and endured for conscience sake, and been
made the victims of an odious, unconstitu-
tional and inhuman law.
! But something more than sympathy is due
to Messrs. Booth and Ryecraft from those
at least. of their feliow-men, who think a,
they do ofthe Infamous Fugitive Slave Act
The fine imposed upon Mr.. Rye
craft is $500; that inflicted upon Mr.. Bootl
is $1,000, and "costs of prosecution to b.
taxed, which will pretty surely be $500 o.
$1,000 more, and until these fines are pait

REMARKABLE PRoPHECY.-The following
remarkable prediction was made by Friar
Bacon, who was born in the year 1914,
some $40 years ago. Here says a GER
tain writer, 'ispoetry and philosophy wound
together, forming a wondrous chain OF
prophecy
Bridges unsupported by arches will be
made to span the foaming current. Men
SHALL descend to the bottom Of the ocean,
safely breathing, and treading with firm
step on the golden sands never frightened
bv the light of day. Call but the secret
powers of Sol and Luna into action, and
behold single steersman sitting at the
helm guiding the vessel which divides the
waves with greater rapidity than ifshe had
been filed with crew ofmarners toiling at
the oars; and the loaded chariot,no longeren-
numbered by the painting steeds, shall dart on
it's course with resistless force and rapidity
Let the simple elements do thy labor; bind
the eternal elements and yoke them to the
same plow.'

AocIDENr.-We learn that as one of the
Milwaukee Stages were leaving town on
Thursday last. when near Mr.. ]. Porter's
residence the forward axletree broke, when
the stage run off the gully and rolled
over and over to the bottom, injuring some
5 or 6 passengers in the shape of bruises
and scratches. but we learn that there were
no bones broken.
We think the road at that place should
be made broader and railing placed along
the sides to prevent similar accidents and
thereby saving lives being lost, which was
a wonder there was not at the time of this
accident
We clip the above from the Waukegan
Daily Gazette of Saturday last. We think
with the Gazette the road should be made
broader at that place. We noticed it the
other day, and remarked that some body's
vehicle would be rolling down into the gull
ly. The people of Waukegan must be very
careless or negligent, OF both, to allow such
dangerous spot to long exist in their very
streets. We are not certain that the au-
thorities are not liable for damages in the
present case.

WHERE Cork COMES FRoN. ---Cork is
nothing more or less than the bark of ever
green oak. growing principally in Spain,
and other countries bordering the Mediter-
ranian; in English gardens it is only acurios-
ity. When the corktree is about fifteen
years old, the bark has attained thick
ness and quality suitable for manufactu-
ring purposes, and after stripping, fur
Their growth of eight years produces a
second crop; and SO on at intervals, even ten
or twelve crops. The bark is stripped from
the tree in pieces two inches in thickness,
of considerable length, and of such width
as to retain the curved form of the trunk
when it has been stripped. The bark pealer
or cutter makes slit in the bark with the
knife pcrpendicularly from the top of the
trunk to the bottom; he makes another in
cision parallel to it, and at some distance
from the former, and two horizontal cuts at
the top and bottom. For stripping the bark
thus isolated, he uses kind of knife with
two handles and curved blade. Some
times, after the cuts have been made, be
caves the tree to throw off the bark by the
spontaneous action of the vegetation within
the trunk The detached pieces are soaked
in water, and are placed over a fire when
nearly dry; they are, in fact, scorched a
little on both sides, AMI acquire a some
what more compact texture by this scorch
ing. In order to get rid of the curry ature,
and brining them flat, they arc pressed
down with weights while yet hot.

KINDNESS Would it not please you to
pick up string of pearls, drops of gold
diamonds, and precious stones as you pass
along the street? 1t would make you feel
happy for month TO come. Such happi-
ness you can give to others. How, do
you ask? By dropping sweet words kind
remarks, and pleasant smiles as you pass
along. They are true pearls and precious
stones which can never be lost; of which
none can deprive you. Speak to that or
phan child; see the diamonds drop from
her checks. Take the hand of that friend
less boy; bright pearls flash in his eyes,
Smile on the sad and,dejected; Joy diffuses
his cheek more brilliant than the most
splendid precious stones. By the wayside
mid the city's din, and at the Preside of
the poor, drop words and smiles to cheer
and bless. You will feel happier, when
resting on your pillow at the close of day
than ifyou picked up a score of perishing
diamonds. The latter fade and crumble
in time; the former grow brighter with
age. and produce happier reflections for
ever.
