CHAPTER II.

In this year of grace 175l, the world
is disturbed by all sorts of absurdly pre-
posterous and wholly impracticable theo-
ries. One maniac is talking of the prob
ability of steam locomotion. Another
suggests the utilizing of forked light
ming to send messages on a wire from
one end of the world to the other. An
other asserts that at some future time
probably far distant--hair powders and
hoops will go out of fashion; and that
in some time yet to come, it won't matter
a button whether or not man has we'll
shaped limbs, as leg-bags will take the
place of knee-breeches. But that is too

AT the period of which / write-when
! and Captain Copp had our heads blown
was scientific man who had
the misfortune to live before his time,
and who had theory, and perfectly
reasonable one, too, about sticking
heads on again. This theory he put in
practice upon this occasion. The heads
had to be put on while yet warm. He
put ours on warm, aud the experiment
was, with but one exception, in every re-
spect most satisfactory. The only error
he committed was-that he stuck Copp's
head upon my body!

sent poem to the Independence Senti
mel, of which the following is a astan.
zer:"
The bird calls from its gilded cage
Its mate far in the wildwood;
And SO my soul still walls for thee,
Bright angel of my childhood.
But if our fate, a cruel lot,
Hath cut our hearts assever,
Why, Mary-bring my trowsers back!
And then go vote forever!

lawyer to his opponent.
'sAnd what is the tenth partf' asked
the latter.
Disappointment, sir, and that's 3 deal
sight bigger than all the other points

A California poetess writes:
Of the girls on this coast, from Miss Dickinson's
tongue,
A stranger might judge in harsh manner;
But we know the poor thing has no girls of her
own,
And that's what's the matter with Anna

Fortune makes that man a fool on

Of prosperity.

1t has become quite popular amuse-
ment recently among vicious children to
abuse their parents and lnfict Upon them
personal chastisement for supposed in
juries received.
The latest case of this kind reported
occurred ON Sunday morning, and for
heartlessness and deyilish maiignity has
few parallels Itappears from the inves-
LEGATIONS Of the police that about fifteen
minutes before twelve o'clock ca Ssatur-
day night . young reprobste, aged iiinel
teen years, named Peter HART who re-;
sides at No. 5I7 Ninth avenue, with his
parents, came home in beastly state of
intoxication. His father, Martin >Hartt,
reprovcd, him for his dissolute habits,
and endeavored to point out to him the
folly Of associating with vicious young
men, when Peter became highly enraged.
ALL the efforts of the father TO quiet him
were unavailing. With fearful impreca-
tions he hurled himself upoa the floor,
where deadly tussle followed for some
moments. The old man fnallyovercome
his sons muscular struggles, and held
him in an iron grasp Summoning all
his latent strength, the youth, crazed
with rage, pulled his parents head down
to his, seized his lower lip between his
teeth, glared fiercely upon Hartt, Sr.,
and with sudden and quick movement
rolled him off him, still clinging to the
lip. The result was that the aesh, from
the mouth down to the chin, was COM
pletely stripped to the bone, presenting
a frightfuI appearance. offcer Dorie,
who was called by one of the family, ar.
rived in time to separate the men and
witness the young Hartt spit out the
bleeding flesh torn from his parents's
face. He arrested him aud locked him
up IN the Twenty fifth Street Station
House for the night. The young canni-
bal offered no excuse for his brutality,
and seemed only to regret that he had
not inflicted more serious injuries upon
the sold man" At Z o'clock in the
morning the o.d man declined to go to
court, aud forgaye his brutal son, who
was consequently discharged. Surgeon
Squibb, who attended the elder Hartt,
states that be win carry the marks of
his child's brutality to his grave.
