CRIME IL NEW YORK.-The New York
papers are calling the attention of the peo-
pie of that city to the curious revelations
made by the publication of the criminal
statistics for 1865. The whole number OF
arrests during the year was APP. OF these
only BOj were disposed of in the courts,
leaving 400 cases unaccounted for. Out OF
~ arrests for murder, only 10 cases got as
far AZ the courts. Out Of IL persons arrest
ed for bigamy, only one was tried, and out
or 30 cases Of arson only two were tried.
There were 255 arrests of receivers of stol-
en- goods, and only three trials. Until the
courts and district attorneys do their bust
ness better than this there will be nodim-
mutton Of crime.

EMIGRATION FROM CANADA.-AM Montreal
paper says that at no time within the last
twelve years has there been such large
and continuous emigration of agricultural
lists from Canada to the United States as at
present. II il estimated that as 800 persons,
most of them young men, are leaving the
country every week by way of Montreal.
Unfortunately for Canada, the men who
have the energy to emigrate are just the
men who are most needed in the New Do
minion, and the papers are doing all in
their power TO keep their young men from
crosslng the line and settling In our Re-
public.

How TO ERADICATE SAssAFRAs BUSHES
To the Editors Of the Baltimore American ::
MANY farms are infested with sassafras
bushes, and many plans have been adopted
for their destruction with little success, the
trouble being that when they are gruboe,di
up every small root left in the ground Will
in the ensuing spring produce separate
shoot, and thus the numbers increase.
Thirty years ago practical farmer, who
had seer four-score years, told me that II
the bushes are grubbed the day before and
the day after the full of the moon in July
and the day before and the day after the
full of the moon in August, the small roots
left in the ground will never terminate
again. After thirty years experience, |
am prepared to say to all who are troubled
with them, suspend all other work, en-
brace the opportunity offered during the
four days have named, and in the coming
spring YOU may see one in thousand; but
follow the same course next summer, and
YOU shall see your enemy no more. speak
from experience. shall leave others to
philosophizc and theorize upon it.

Sun and Shadow.

AS look from the isle, o'er It's pillows OF green,
To The pillows of foam-cruStcd blue.
Yon bark, that afar In the distance Is seen,
Half dreaming my eyes will pursue;
Now dark In the shadow. she scatterS The spray
AS the chaff in the stroke of the fall
Now white rs the sea-gull, she flies on her way,
The sun cleaning bright on her SAIL
Yet her pilot Is thinking of dangers to shun;
OF breakers that whlten and roar
How little he cares If In shadow or sun
They see him who gaze from the shore.
He looks to the beacon that looms from the reef
TO the rock that is under his lee,
AS he drifts on the blast, like wlnd-waited leal,
O'er the CULTS Of the dcSolate sea.
Thus drifting afar to the dim-vaulted caves
Where life and its ventures are laid,
The drcamers who gaze while we battle the waves
May see lis In sunshine or shade:
Yet true to our course, though our shadow grow
dark,
Wen trim our broad sail as before,
And stand by the rudder that governs the bark,
Nor ask how we look from the shore,

A New Flying Machine I'm San
ErnuciScQ.
From The San Francisco Bulletin, Jul!

From the San Francisco Bulletin, July 20.
At n meeting of the Aerial Navigation
Company held yesterday it was voted TO
raise the necessary funds to construct an
improved Avitor of large size. The opinion
of the engineers of the company was unhn!-
nous "a to success SO far and the teasl-
bility and success of the projected Tying
ship. 1t will be about $50 feet in length
twenty to forty feet diameter Of hegasome,
ter. with propelling blades on each SIDE Oh
the centre describing a radius of about
sixteen feet. The propellers are shaped
like a steamships, with two blades, each
very light. They will be driven by, n
steam-cngine of tive-horse power, weigh
inc, with boiler, connections, and water,
430 pounds. The planes on each side
for floating the machine will be about
twenty feet wide at the centre OF the ma
chine. and made in sections, so they can be
depressed or elevated at pleasure with the
rudder or tail. The framework will be
made by Kimball g. Co., the carriage-ma-
kcrs the gasometer will be made in sec
tons, so that in the event OF accident TO
one section the remainder will be sufficient
for all practical purposes. Indeed, 1t Is
claimed that the ship can fly through the
air with such speed that the sustaining
mower of the lines alone will be sufficient to
maintain the Avitor in mld-alr. Inc gas
omcter will be made, probably, OF thin mus
lin or silk saturated with gntta percha. 1t
is to carry four persons, and Will be ready
for trial in sixty or ninety days. The re-
sult of this experiment will be looked for
with great interest all over the country.

Return of a Confederate Prisoner to
Arkansas.

From the Little Rock (Ark.l Gazette, July %.
The Jacksonport Herald and Batesvillc
Times have lengthy accounts Of the capture
and Imprisonment for six years OF Mr. ID:
Ii. Lee, q cousin of General r. L. Lee, and
formerly citizen of Madison, in this State.
In November 1862 he was arrested in Mem
phis on charge of specializing in Confcde-
rate money, put in the Irving Block for one
night, and then shipped for Camp Douglas,
in Illinois. Arriving there, the oftlcer re-
fused to receive him because there was no
law forbidding speculation in money OF any
kind. The Lieutenant having him ncharge
then started with him to Rock Island, ac-
companied by seven guards. They went to
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and were going to
put Lee in jail for safe-keeping until they
could have spree. About this time Lee
and one of his guards, who accompanied
him, escaped, but were soon recaptured.
Mr.. Lee was then imprisoned in Milwaukee
Jail, and kept III close confinement for two
and half years without trial. At the
end of that time he was taken out and SEN
fenced without q triaD to four years i'm
prisonmcnt in the State prison at Madison,
Wis. During these four years he was not
allowed to write to his friends, or read n
book or newspaper of any kind, but was
effectively excluded from the world. Du-
ring this time his health was good. The
time for release came. He went to Cincln-
natl, where he heard that his wife was
dead, and he could hear nothing of his
child. From there he went to Memphis,
where he was received by bis friends as one
risen from the dead, and learned the joyful
news that his wife and child, the latter a
grown young lady, were both living, and at
Batesvillc. The telegraph was used in an
nouncing to his wife his safety, and stating
