ACoNTRAsT.-On Saturday there was
to be seen on our. streets the corpuleut
and hearty looking form of rebel prs-
ouer who had a day or two previous been
released from the Island prison. His
Portly figure and rosy cheeks presented
striking contrast to the emacated forms
and hollow cheeks of our prisoners when
they leave the prison pens of the South.
Wonder if the copperheads who so warm.
~ greeted this Southern brother" when
be made bis appearance among them,
will yet have the impudence to assert that
the prisoners on the island are com PEELED
to eat dogs and rats. If they do indulge
in such delicacies ~ the diet seems TO
agree wonderfully well with their digest
i've organs.-Dav. Gaz.
IF the earth should be stopped 10 its
orbit it would begin to fall straight to-
ward the sun. As it approached more
nearly that great source Of beat it would
soon reach point where the Temperature
is as high as two hundred and twelve de.
grees, and then slI the waters of the
ocean would be evaporstej. As it drew
still nearer, the rocks would be melted,
and afterwards they also would Be evapo-
rated. Before it reached the sue, this
solid earth would be converted into vast
volume of red.hot gas, which, when it
fell into the fiery atmosphere Of the sun,
would merely produce blasts Of wind from
T the point where it struck outward 10 oil
directions. Scientific American.

A very cunning case Of smu eglipg on
the Canadian border has recently been
detected, for which the law proyiaed no
remedy. 1t seems that the smuggler
built his house Immediately upon the
boundary line with an entrance from the
north aud another from the south. He
can thus bring British or American
goods into his house without paying du.
ties to either Government, and can with,
out detection easily pass them over to the
other side.
