CURIOUS CAsE.-The Secretary of the United
States Treasury recently decided IA curious and
interesting case arising out of the laws relative
to the importation Of Tea from China and else.
where. A cargo of Tea was imported into New
York direct from China, but was re shipped to
London for better market. 1t was there land
ed and placed in bond; but before being sold the
price Of Tea rose in New York, and the cargo
was again placed on shipboard and brought back
to New York for sale. A free entry was refused
on the ground that it must be regarded as an i'm
portation from England, and so be- subjected to a
duty of20 per cent The case was brought be-
fore the Secretary of tho Treasury on appeal
from this decision of the Collectors, and was by
him determined against the importers. a case
was cited by the Secretary in support of his oPin-
ion in which cargo thus sent to London fof II
market had been brought back to New York
without leaving the vessel and had still been
held subject TO duty as imported from England.

Don't Speak so Cross. "

Don't speak SO cross" said one little
boy yesterday in the street to another
Don't speak SO cross, there is no use in
it. We happened to be passing at the
time, and hearing the injunction, or ex
hortation, for it was uttered in exhorta-
tory manner, we sat the juvenile speaker
down as an ambryo philosopher. In
sooth, touching the points involved in the
boyish difficulty which made occasion for
the remarks, he might properly be con-
sidered at maturity. What more could
Solomon have said on the occasion =
True, he has put it on record that "a soft
answer turneth away wrath, and this ta-
ken as true-and everybody knows it to
be so-it is evidence of the superiority of
kindness over that of wrath. But our
young street philosopher said pretty near
the same thing substantially, when he
said, Don't speak so cross-there's no
use in it, On the contrary, it invariably
does much harm. Is man angryl 1t
inaames bis ire still more, and confirms
in his enmity, him who by kind word
and gentle and pleasing demeanor
might be converted into friend 1t is,
in fact, adding fuel to the fame already
kindled. And what do you gain by it!
Nothing desirable, certainly, unless dis
cord, strife contention, hatred, m alice and
all uncharitableness, be desirable. The
boy spoke the words of truth and sober
ness when he said Don't speak SO cross
there's no use in it'-X.

enforced by the splendid eloquence o.
johnson. In later volume, long after
the commencement of the present ceDtu-
ry, etght separate capital convictions are
recorded as one days job Of single tribu
nal, the culprits being all boys and girls
between the ages of ten and sixteen, and
their offences petty thefts.
One case / remember of peculiar judi
cial atrocity. A young girl of II was in-
dicted for stealing roll of ribbon worth
three shillings. The prosecutors testi-
mony was to this effect: The prisoner
came into my shop and bought some rib
bon. [ saw her secrete this piece ALSO
| personally knew her and was on the
most friendly and sociable terms with her.
When she left the shop accompanied
her, and altered her my arm, which she
accepted. We chatted together. As we
reached the corner of street leading to
the Bow street Office, l turned it. She
said she was going in another direction,
and bade good morning. l said to her,
"No! you are going with me! l saw you
steal piece of my ribbon!" She imme-
ately i'm plored me for Gods sake to over
look it, and restored TO me the article
| said to her that l had lost many things
in this way, and was resolved to make her
an example-hat IacaS dGermiHedt 10 haze
her hfeW And he got it. | can never
forget how my blood boiled as | read the
testimony of this cold hearted wretch
In view of the judgment of mcrciful
God, for rather, it seemed to me, would
l have been in the place of that poor, frail,
erring girl, even on the scatfold, than in
the place of her heartless accuser.
/ rose from the perusal of these vol
umes horror-struck with the continuous
record of inconceivable legal cruelty. 1t
seemed to me that the 10000 landings
in the reign of Henry VIII, were match
ed by an equally long list of persons con-
den1ed to he lung in the reign of George
Ill. Since this time, much bas been done
in England by Romilly, Brougham, Mack
intosh and Sidney Smith, and as much
perhaps more-by kindred philanthro-
pists on this side of the Atlantic.

a Successful Trick.

A young and skillful disciple of Rob
ert Houden was some time ago travelling
in the northern provinces of France, Civ
ing exhibitions in natural magic, in COM
any with young wag, now director of
printing establishment in Paris. In their
wanderings they arrived at the town Of
R-more renowned for its manufactur-
ers than for the natural brilliancy of its
inhabitants. Here the receipts of the
magician were absolutely, nothing, and
despair reigned in the hearts of our ad-
venturers. What was to be done?
"By my faith, exclaimed the assistant
magician, it will not do to say that we
did not make our expenses. l have it!
Let me write poster for one or m ore en-
tertainments; and if the attraction don't
answer, call me no assistant for high
priest of diablerie'
AT the urgent request of the large and
intelligent audience of our former enter
tainments we have consented to perform
the astounding feat of making the cathe-
dral bell ring any hour indicated by the
audience
There how will that do!"
But how are you to fulfill the prom
ise?'
'Oh! never mind Am not a worthy
pupil Of skillful mcdaniel Leave that
to me-
Night crme an with it a crowd of the
curious.-All went off well, and now
came the feature of the evening. Any one
was asked to name a number. Four,
came from the crowd.
In fear and trembling the mighty ma
gician extended his hands towards the
cathedral, when one! two! three! four!
doomed slowly from the cupalo. The cool
Precipitation started to the exhibitor S
brow, and the audience with delight and
surprise.
Encore! enchore' resoundcd from all
parts of the room. Again! What was
to be done! But voice from behind the
curtain said: Go ahead old boy-it's all
right
With sigh of relief the exhibitor re-
peated the miracle again and again, and
|. the speetors departed filled with enthusi
asm!
What in the name of wonder have you
been doingl exclaimed the puzzled prin-
cipal to his laughing assistant. as soon as
the doors were closed
why, gave the beA-ringer five francs
to stay in the belfry and ring as many
times as placed candles in the window,
and | think it succeed pretty we'll, NEST
ce> aat' replied the other, shaking the
we'll filed cash book.
The next day as they were starting in
the cars, one of the city counsellors came
to them and begged that they would ex-
plain the miracle.
1t is magnetism, my friend, said the
magician, with grand flourish of his
hand, and the magistrate departed, much
edited and perfectly satisfied.

self-Government in Children. :

\ modern writer says: | know nothing
more touching than the efforts of self
government of which little children are
capable when the best parts Of their ma
ture are growing vigorously under the
warmthUand light of parental love. How
beautiful is the self-control of the little
creature who stiles bis sobs Of pain be-
cause his mothers plying is upon him
in tender sorrow! OF that of the baby who
abstains from play and sits quietly on
the floor, because somebody is i'll! l have
known very young child slip over to
the cold side of the bed on a winters
night, that grown up sister might find
a warm one. | have known little girl
submit spontaneously to hours ofirksome
restraint and disagreeable employment,
merely because it was right. Such wills
as thcse-so strong and yet SO humble,
so patient and so digni6ed-were never
impaired by fear, bat fourished thus an-
der the influence of love, with its sweet
excitemeuts and holy supports

him strong and hearty, "good morning
my boy" he holds down his head ant
deposits the answer in his bosom, as if i
were very delicate thing, and not ye
able to fly. Like death, he visits every
house, and his burden grows higher al
he proceeds. He does not chuck papers
as they do now, over the gate and under
the fence, but decently and demurely
places it folded and damp into the hand
of somebody commissioned to receive it
But he don't "ring" for there is nothing
to ring in all the town, except the church
bell, that the Doctor brought home in his
"cutter" one day, from Utica or some
where thereway.
His rounds are soon made; meanwhile
a sorry sort of horse,-an editors horse,
you knows blowing solitary oat a
bout large manger, the last survivor OF
very large family. Pretty soon Rosin-
ante is led forth, and pair of saddle
oags, distended to the suffocating point,
is brought out, followed by the Mercury
and no devil, with his pockets plethorio
with dough -nuts-what has become of
that old-fashioned twisted luxuryl-and
a tin horn tethered to button hole by a
bit of green string. 1t is with sort of
sheepish Importance that he mounts by
the aid of the proprietor, and wends his
way, as they were very fond Of saying,
"out in the country" as if the old village
was not positively lost in the very bosom
of it.
And so he went, his horn resounding
through the solitude, and he as happy as
knight fresh from tournament And
that was the north an. S. 4. w." the
Nears of those old days. But what there
was in the Gazette, and who they were
that read it, must be passed over in the
silence like that, that now, alas hangs
like a great wing over the most of them

Early Rising

There is no time spent so stupidity as
that which inconsiderate people pass in
the morning between sleeping and wax
ing. He who is awake may be at work
or play; he who is asleep is receiving the
refreshm ent necessary to it him for ac-
tion; but the hours may spent in doing
and slumbering are wasted, without eth
er pleasure or profit. The sooner you leave
your bed, the less you will be confined to
it; for earl y rising conduces TO healthfuI-
ness. When old people have been exam
ined, in order to ascertain the cause Of
their longevity, they have uniformly a
greed in one thing only that they ALI
went to bed, and all rose early

Truths Well Expressed.

In his address at the New York State
Fair, Gov. Wright, of Indiana, made the
following excellent suggestions. They COM
prise volume in nutshell:
awe must cultivate the roots, not the
tops. We must make the family gorerR-
ment, the school, the farm, the church,
the shop, tho agricultural fairs and lab
oratories of our future greatness. We
must educate our sons to be farmers, art
isans, architects, engineers, geologists, bo-
tanists, chemists-in word, practical
men. Their eyes must be turned from
Washington to their States, counties, town
ships, districts, homes. This is true pa
triotism and the only patriotism that will
perpetually preserve the nation"

Hanging in Old Times.

A correspondent of the Boston Tran
script gives the following incidents :
While John Hancock was Governor of
the Commonwealth, Rachel Whall was
hung in Boston for highway robbery
Her offence consisted in twitching from
the hand of another female a bonnet,
worth perhaps rs cents, and running off
with it. The most urgent applications
for her pardon were unsuccessful. men,
ton this not to the disparagement of the
Governor. He doubtless acted from a
sense of duty-thinking it best for the
community that the laws of the land
however frightfully severe-while they
were laws-should be executed. A lad
of l 8 years of age was hung in Salem for
arson, during the administration of Gov
ernor Strong, similar appeals in his fa-
vor being considered and overruled. Yet
the intelligence and the humanity, alike
of the Executive and of the Councils, not
withstanding the result arrived at in both
these instances, were unquestionable.
Within the same period, a gentleman
of this city saw giri of IL hung in Lon
don for stealing a silver cream pitcher.
Edward Fail Brown was hung in Boston
for burglary committed in the house of
Captain Osias Goodwin, in Charter street,
and stealing therefrom sundry articles
/ once owned set of the Old Bailey Tri-
ais, 0775, 1895, } embraced in series Of
perhaps fifty quartto volumes. The ear

tails of the trial of the unfortunate DR..
Dodd, for forgery, whose touching appeal
for mercy, here recorded, was fruitleSsly
