An Unkind Tear.

When used to tend store at the Greg
ulator," in Syracuse, the old man came
round one day, and says he-"Boys the
one that sells the most 'twixt now and
Christmas gets vest pattern as pres
ent."
Maybe we didn't work for that vest Pat.
tern l tell you there were some tall
stories told in praise of goods just about
that time; but the tallest talker, and the
one that had more cheek than any of us,
was certain Jonah Squires, who roomed
with me. He could talk dollar out of
mans pocket when man intended to
spend but sixpence; and the women
Lord bless you--they Just handed over
their pocket-book to him and let him Law
out what he liked for them.
One night Jonah woke up with, "By
Josh, old fellow, if you think that er's
got any cotton. in it Ill bring down the
sheep it was cut from, and make him swear
to his own wool Twon't wear out, eth.
er-wore pair of pants that kind o'stuff

now as when first put EN- on Take it
at thirty cents, and I'll say you don't owe
me anything. Eli! too dear? Well,
call it twenty-eight cents. What dye
say? Shall tear it? All rights
bargain"
l could feel Jonah's hands playing
about the bed.clothes for an instant, then
rip tear went something or other, and I
hid my head under the blankets, perfect
ly convulsed with laughter, and sure that
Jonah had torn the sheet from top to Bot
tom. When woke up next morning, I
found, alas !-unkindest tear of all-that
the back of my night shirt was split from
tail to collar-band!

Domestic Happiness in Africa.

Captain Grant, in his "Walk across
Africa" thus describes the home of q
wealthy Indian, benevolent old man,
who had an establishment of three hun.
dred native men and women around him :
CAT three o'clock in the morning, Moo.
sab, who had led hard life in his day,
would call out for his little pill of opium,
which he never missed for forty years.
This would brighten him up till noon. He
would then transact business, chat, and
give you the gossip at any hour you might
sit by him on his carpet. To US it seemed
strange that he never stopped talking
while prayers from the Koran were being
read to him by Bookeen,' or Madagas-
car man. Perhaps he had little respect
for the officiating priest, as the same rev.
erend and learned gentleman was accus.
toned to make him his shirts After a
midday sleep, he would refresh himself
with d second but larger pill, transact
business, and SO end the day.
"The harem department. presented a
more domestic scene. At dawn, women in
robes of colored chintz, their hair neatly
plated, gaze fresh milk to the saoarm of
black cats, or churned butter in gourds,
by rocking it to and fro on their laps.-
By seven o'clock the whole place was
swept clean. Some of the household fed
the game fowls, or looked after the ducks
and pigeons; two women chained by the
neck fetched frewood, or ground corn at
stone; children would cat together
without dispute, because matron presided
over them-all were quiet Industrious
beings, never idle, and as happy as the
day was long. When any of Moossah's
wives gave birth to child, there was uni
versal rejoicing; the infant was brought
to show its sex and when one died, the
shrill laments of the women were heard
all night long. When child misbehaved
we white men were pointed at to frighten
it, as nurses at home too often do with
ghost stories.'

federates should be sternly dealt with !;
but why not according to law? What
reason, what excuse can be urged, to JUS
tify the sending of this case before Court
Martial and having it tried in secret p
How can such trial be reconciled with
the plain provisions of the Constitution
above quoted
AS to the Military trial of those who
conspired with Booth to assassiuate the
President, and aided to achieve that fell
purpose, the outrge is not so fragrant !;
but such trial is at best blunder, while
enshrouding it in secrecy is utterly indie
feasible. To try doctor for his life, be-
cause he set strangers broken bone, and
gave, or sold, or lent him pair of crutch-
os, may just do; but try him in secret,
allowing no report of the testimony but
such as the prosecution sees fit to make,
is nothing less than abominable. Two
months ago, it would have been endured
for the country's sake; now, there is no
reason that it should be.
We warn all who take any voluntary
part IN these strange proceedings that the
rebellion is suppressed, the war at an end,
and the right to suspend the privilege of
habeas corpus, and make the will of Sec
rotary Of War the supreme law of the
land, has expired. If the present Secre-
tary can not be made to realize these
grave truths, it is high time he had sue
cessor; and if our Attorney General be-
lieves the assailant of Secretary Seward
now illegally triable before a military
commission" be badly needs his own
time for the completion of his legal studies,
while the Government needs different
law officer. There may be potter ways of
setting forth these convictions, but none of
these would do them justice.
Gentlemen of the Cabinet. The war
eastward of the Mississippi is ended; the
rebellion is suppressed; the Union is re-
established, and peace virtually restor-
ed wherefore the people demand of you
a speedy and thorough return to the safe
and orderly ways of law and liberty. Do
not compel them to speak in tones that
you can not refuse to hear" a..

SKULL OF CoNFUcIUs.-The skull of
Confucius, which many of our readers will
fecollect as one of the most attractive OBJ
jects in the Chinese Court of the Exhibi-
ton, and which was part of the loot Of
Fane's cavalry from the Summer Palace
of tho Emperor of China, was lately sold
by auction by Messrs. Christie, Manson
q Woods, amongst some other articles Of
art collected by the late Lord Elgin in
China and Japan. The skull itself, lined
with pure gold, is placed on triangular
stand of the sane metal, and rests on three
very roughly-shaped gold heads. The
cover, richly orDamented, is also of pure
gold, and studded with precious stones.-
Whether the skull be that of Confucius or
not, it is evidently sacred relic, and not
a drinking-eup, as has been surmised.--
1t was bought by Mr.. Benjamin, of Glass
house street, for 9327. 1t is said to be Of
an average size-a statement we make for
the benefit of our chronological friends

JUSTICE FIFTY YEARS Aao.--Chas.
knight, in his Autobiography, relates the
following as an example of how justice
was dispensed in England fifty years ago:
Under the guidance of the town clerk,
corporate magistrates generally got through
their business decently; but sometimes
they made little slips. Late in the even.
ing, an offender was brought before one
of our mayors, having been detected in
stealing smock frock from pawnbroker's
door. b..
"Look in Burns Justice" said the
mayor to his son. "Look in the index
for 'smock frocks.'" ....
Cant find it, father; not there"
"What no law against stealing smock
frocks? Young fellow, you have made
lucky escape !" ..
The constable demurred at the dis
charge of the prisoner.
"Well, we'll, lock him up, and we'll
see the town clerk in the morning"

Interesting to Psychologists.

In letter to the London Globe, Dr.
Kidd mentions the following instance Of
the restoration of sight in young woman
born blind. He says :-"I saw individu-
ally, and observed with interest, the fol-
lowing case short time ago at the Eve
Institution, Moorfelds-a case that would
be invaluable to Berkeley, as bearing on
the part played by the senses in intellect,
ETC. An interesting-looking young wo.
man, twenty-five years of age, born stone

clergyman, all this by finger alphabets, as
we see blind men tracing the letters in one
or two places in town-.blind for twenty.
two years, was restored to perfect vision in
four days by surgical operation, and to
partial vision in two minutes. This young
woman in an instant, having been twenty
two years and from her birth stone blind
OF congential cataract, began to see, as
these deaf mutes in Paris begin to hear
for the first time.
The effect in the young woman was most
curious, and something Of his kind. She
saw everything butthere was noidea whatev-
er OF perspective. She put her hand to
the window to catch the trees on the other
side of the street, then in Moorfields she
tried to touch the ceiling of high ward !;
she was utterly ignorant also of common
things. g., what such things as bunch
OF keys were, of silver watch or COM
mon cup and.saucer; but when she shut
her eyes, and was allowed to touch them
(the educated sense) she told them at
once She could almost distinguish the
greasy feel Of silver half.crown from the
cold harsh feel of a copper penny. Her
joy was excessive when shown some mig
nonette and sweet pea that one of the sur
geons had accidentally in his coat, for it
seemed she knew all the plants in the cler-
gyman's garden by the touch and smell
She looked at the bunch of keys, and with
equal darkness at the flowers, then shut
here eyes so as to recognize them. All
this took up less than five minutes. But
she failed to say as we'll as I now remem-
Der the case, "these are flowers" But
on my saying when she opened her eyes
again "why, these are flowers" "Oh !!
SO they are" she replied, shutting her
eyes again quickly, and putting them to
nose. "This is mignonette," etc.

FARMER 81
WEATHER INDICATOR,

Woodruff's Portable Barometer.
THIS INSTRUMENT should be in
i the hands Of every Agriculturist, as it
unerringly points out any change in the
weather, and thus directs the farmer how
to shape his work and save a crop that,
without Barometer, might be caught out
and seriously injured, if not destroyed.
1t is simple in construction, cheap in
price, not liable to get out of order, and
the only perfect, portable Barometer in
use. Being a Mercurial Barometer, it is
accurate and reliable for scientific pur-
poses, and is used by the U. S. Coast Sur
vey, and at the Smithsonian Institute,
Washington, besides being recommended
by the most distinguished agriculturists Of
the country, as well as by host of pro-
fessors and scientific journals.
We name few that have endorsed this
Barometer as superior to all others Sci
entifc American, American Agriculturist,
Country Gentleman, Boston Journal, Phil.
Ledger, Marshall P. Wilder, Orange Judd,
Professors Henry, Hackley, Holmes, Carr,
Williams, Douglass, SC.
The cost of the instrument is within
the reach of all, ranging in price from $7
to 1928. We have five different styles,
from a plain maple case to the finest carved
rosewood. Most of these styles have a
Thermometer attached. Styles of this in
strument may be seen at this Office, and
at the Hotel of John S. Dallam, Bel Air.

WOMEN.
IT'S sad truth, yet it's truth
That does not need the proving
They give their hearts away, unasked,
And are not loved for loving.
Striving to win a little back,
For all they feel, they hide it;
And lips that tremble with their love,
In trembling have denied it.
Sometimes they deem the kiss and smile
Is life and loves beginning;
While he who wins the heart away
Is satisfied with winning
Sometimes they think they have not found
The right one for their mating,
An 60 on til the hair is white,
And eyes are blind with waiting.
And if the mortal tarryeth still,
They fill their lamps, undying,
And till the midnight wait to hear
The heavenly bridegroom" crying.
For while she lives, the best of them
Is less saint than woman;
And while her lips ask love divine,
Her heart asks love that's human
