FRAUDS ON THE INTERNAL REVENUE

A Model Charge to II Jury.

1t seems to us that the following
is worthy of the defunct but never
forgotten Wouton Van Twiller:
'It the jury believe. from the ey-
idcncc, that the plaintiff and de-
fendant were partners in the grocery
and that the plaintiff bought out
the defendant, and gave him his note
for the interest, and the defendant
paid for the note by delivering to
the plaintiff a cow, which he war
ranted not breachy, and the wrran-
ty was broken by reason Of the
breachiness Of the COW. and he drove
the COW back and rendered her to
the defendant, but he refused to re-
ceive her, and the plaintiff took her
home again and put . heavy yoke
on her to prevent her jumping fences,
and by reason Of the yoke she broke
her neck and died; aud if the jury
further believe that the defendant s
interest in the grocery was worth
anything, the plaintiffs note was
worthless and the COW good for
nothing, either for beef or milk, then
the jury must find out themselves
how they will dcide tho ,ase; for the
court, if she understands herself
and she thinks she does-don't know
how such a case should be decided. F"

it is easy to comprehend as the or
gan or seat Of the mind; when we
speak of the mind we have greater
difficulty in comprehending the
meaning of the term we employ; but
when we speak of the Soul we have
reached a point which defies our
understanding, because our knowl-
enge is limited. The brain may be
injured by a blow; the mind may be
panied by disagrecable sight, or
offended by harsh blow; but the
Soul can only be Influenced secon-
darby through the mind, which is
primarily affected by the organs of
the material senses. Thus the hap
piness or the misery of the Soul de-
pends to a very great extent upon
the proper fulfillment Of the duties
Of the senses, which are the servants
of the Soul, over which the mind
presides, as the steward who medi-
tates between the employer and the
employed.

A few days ago the engineer Of
the the New York express train,
while running between North Ha-
ven and Wallingford. Ct.. saw a
barefooted man, in his shirt sleeves,
dart out of the woods and place
something wrapped ina newspaper
on the track. It was too late to
stop tho train, and the pilot struck
the obstacle, which proved to be .
heavy railroad iron bar, with great
force, knocking it ffty feet, and
breaking the pilot. The Hartford
police set to work to discover the
perpetrator, and arrested . man
whose dress in every particular cor
responded with the description, and
whose bare foot exactly fitted the
track left by the would-be destroyer.
He was taken to Hartford and COM
mitted for examination. The next
day, as the same train camc along
again, the same man who placed the
bar on the track the day before,
again darted out Of the same place,
and throwing his arms above his
head, stood and let tho engine
strike him /! He was badly hurt,
not killed. He proved to be crazy.
But for this rcumstance, tho
evidence against the man arrested
would have sent him to tho State
Prison for life.

A BEAUTIFUL THouGnr.-Dickens
wrote: There is nothing beautiful
and good that dies and is forgotten.
An infant, a prattling child, dying
in its cradle, will live again in the
better thoughts of those who loved
It, play it's part tho its body be
burned to ashes or drowned in the
deepest sea. There is not an angel
added to the hosts of heaven but does
its blessed work on earth in those
that loved it here.
Dead; oh if the good deeds of hu.
man creatures could be traced to
their source; how beautiful would
even death appear; for how mue b
charity, mercy, purified affection
would be seen to have their growth
in dusty graves.

Two SharperS.

A noted sportsman, taking dinner
at one of our clubs, exhibited dia-
mond ring of great beauty and ap-
parent value on his finger. A gen.
tleman present had great passion
for diamonds. After dinner, the
parties met in the Office. After
much bantering, the owner consent
cd to barter the ring for the sum of
six hundred dollars. As the buyer
left the room, suppressed tittering
struck his ear. He concluded that
the former owner had sold both his
ring and the purchaser. He. said
nothing, but called the next day
upon jeweler, where he learned
that the diamond was paste, and the
ring worth about twenty-five dollars.
He examined some real diamonds,
and found one closely resembling
the paste in his own ring. He hired
the diamonds for few days, pledg-
ed twelve hundred dollars, the price
of it, and gave a hundred dollars
for its use. He went to another
jeweler, had the paste removed, and
the real diamond set. His chums,
knowing he had been imposed upon
impatiently waited for his appear
ance the next night. To their as
tonishment they found him in high
glee. He Aourishcd his ring, boast.
cd of his bargain, and said if any
gentleman present had twelve
hundred dollar ring to sell for six
hundred dollars be knew of a pur-
chaser. When he was told that the
ring was paste, and that he had
been cheated, he laughed at their
folly. Bets were freely offered that
the ring did not contain a real dia-
mond. Two men bet 81. 900 each,
and two $500. All were taken.
Umpires were chosen. The money
and the ring were put into their
hands. They went to a frst-class
jeweler, who applied all the tests.
and who said the stone was a dia-
mond Of the first water and was
worth, without the setting 81, 200.
The buyer put the $4,000 which be
had won quietly into his pocket
He carried the diamond back, and
recalled his 81, 200, and with his
paste ring on his finger went to his
club. The man who sold the ring
was waiting for him. He wanted
to get the ring back. He attempt
ed to turn the whole thing into a
joke. He sold the ring, he said. for
fun; he knew it was real diamond
all the time; he never wore false
jewels; he could tell real diamond
anywhere by its peculiar light; he
would not be so mean as to cheat an
old friend; he knew his friend would
let him have the ring again. But
his friend was stubborn, said that
the seller thought it was paste, and
intended to defraud him. At length
on the payment of eight hundred
dollars, the ring was restored. All
parties came to the conclusion, when
the whole uffair came out. that
when diamond cuts diamond again,
some one less sharp will be selected.

Congressional Representa-.
ttOn.

In Pennsylvania the Democrats
elect but eight members of Congress
to the Radicals sixteen. Have the
latter twice as many votes as the
Democrats which ought to be the
case with such q Congressional
representation? In Indiana the
Radicals have seven members to the
Democrats five, and in Ohio they
have thirteen members to the Dem
ocrats' six. While the Radicals
have double the number of Congress
men, in all the States, to the Demo-
Gratis, they have but q trifle more
than half the votes Of the people.
Thus unler our present system Con-
gress ceases to be representation
Of the real sentiment Of the people.
The watchword must be in the
future, "Reform in Congressional
representation"

Served Right.

Deacon W--was a staid and
honest deacon in one of the interior
towns of New York, who had a vein
Of dry, caustic humor in his compo-
sition. The deacon had a boy of
some dozen summers, who was in
clined to be little ugly when not
under the parental eye. In school
especially, John was source of
of constant annoyance to the teach
er. One day the teacher punished
him for some misdemeanor, and
John went home to enter his COM
plant, ana JOld TITS rsthe, tibet %a>
teacher had whipped him.
"What - exclaimed the deacon,
elsvating his eyebrows, ''beeu
whipped ed?, -
"And did you let woman whip
ye ?" shouted the old deacon.
"Y-a-a-s. / Icouldn't help it,"
"Now, John, you little rascal,
you 60 to school tomorrow, and if
Miss--undertakes to whip you,
don't let her ifye can helpit. Don't
let her if ye can help it. Don't
take any stick to strike with, but
ye may strike, scratch, bite and
kick as much as you have q mind
to-"
The next day the boy went to
school, and, emboldened by the
permission given by his father, was
soon brought before the tribunal Of
violated rules. The teacher under
took to correct him, and he did as
his father had told Kim. The result
was that John got most unmerci-
full thrashing, and was thoroughly
subdued. When he went home he
went to his father, crying:
"Well, dad, l got an orful lick.
ing to day."
''What !" said tho old deacon,
shave you let that old woman whip
ye again ?"
"Y-a-a-s," whimpercd John.
Il kicked her, and struck her, and
fit all I could, but she lammed me
orfully."
:Aha !" chuckled the humorous
old deacon ; "you 'tarnal little fool
l knew she would and she'll give
you trouncing every time she un-
dertakes it, and I advise you to
behave yourself in future
John hegan to have some percep.
tion Of his fathers motive, and ever
after was q better and wiser boy.

government has been organized, and

preparations made to inaugurato a

The Sandwich Islands Sink
ing.
The correspondent Of the New
York Tribune, in an account of the
recent phenomena which were the
result Of the volcanic disturbance in
tho Sandwich Islands, says:
X X Hawaii is apparently
settling slowly into the sea.
y ''This uncomfortable
phenomenon was first noticed soon
after the great earthquakes of last
April; but the arrangement of level
was at first supposed to be tempo
rary, and due to tidal wave, which
would recede in due course Of time.
1t soon become apparent, however.
that the crust Of the earth was
yielding, and allowing the greater
part of this great island, which has
an area of no less than four thou.
sand square miles, to settle gradu-
ally toward the center.
X X X 1.-THE island. has set
tied upon its foundations few feet
on the southern and western shores,
a few inches only on the east and
north; but enough to cover the old
tide marks, and to overflow the veg
citation of the more level beaches. "

manufacturing and agricultural fa-
cilities along the lines sufficient to
warrant increase of freight and trav-
el from intermediate points. The
route under consideration has Meth
cr of these advantages. It's climate
would always prevent its competing
with the Pacific Railroad for pass
engers, and it is too distant from
the seaboard to become a manufac-
turing district. Altogether we think
that this road would if built, become
the most extraordinary white elc-
phant ever owned by the British
Observation-Disclosures American.
