AN INTERESTING CAsE.-Dr. Goldsmith
Of Rutland, one of Nermonts most noted
physicians, related in one of his addresses
recently, an incident occurring during his
army experience which has never appeared
in print before. Illustrating the power of
chloroiorm as = solvent OF feigned con
traction OF the limbs he said,-and we will
use his own language:
While in Jefferson Hospital there came
man who had run the gauntlet of several
hospitals, having been discharged on the
ground of the contraction of his arm.
which was bent up so that the hand nearly
touched his shoulder or breast. 1t was 50
rigidly fixed that | could not with any
strength (and the DIR. Is a heavy weight J
which seemed to me not to risk the break
ing Of his arm, straighten it, | directed
the nurses to watch him at night. and 20
to his bed and sieze his arm and suddenly
try to straighten it. They uniformly re-
ported that they were unable to accom-.
piish the desired result. He was then
allowed to pass ont and visit all the rum
shops at will, in the hope that under, the
influence Of alcoholic stimulant the case
might be solved, but it found no solution.

The Angel and the Child.
BY g. y. BRIGHAM

The sun has plodded along Il May
With the infant car of Spring,
And the children are out with the flowers at PLAY
Where the robins and bluebirds sing;
Ana the little frocks and the ribbons that tie
Almost seem with the birds TO Is.
'Ti7 a roHcking romp of the fairies sure.
IN a garden the angels tend;
Where the srecnins trees Of the woods allure
And the baDbiing brooklets weud
Now "a voice IN the grove sings out cuckoo"
And past noon-time the hours are two.
That night when the moon crceps over the hill
And the birds sing themselves to sleep,
And the grinding ceases at the mill,
There are mother yigils which keep
The watch of a cradle that jogs and rock.
Near one Of the little fsocLs.
The doctor was called at early eve.
And len mis- soothing drops,
And ordered careful watch on his leave.
The wing of thesick bird lops
And the little arms in the cradle fan
And the fingers scarce clench at all.
The weary mother nodded and watched
TIL past midnight the hours are two.
And an angel watched az Paradise
cuuooiinE on tie ,wa.
As the mother nods, her looks arc or pain.
But The child smiles sweet again.
Il was scarcely moment the mother lost
Ia her watch Of her darling child.
But the watching angel her threshold crossed
Az the moment her baby smiled
A she opened her ewes, at The gate aJsr
Stood the angel with 3 star.

An instrument has been invented in
Germany which will measure, with per-
feet accuracy, the heat of the hottest fur
mace. 1t is based ON the principle that
the resistance of pure metals to theelectric
current increases with the temperature in
very simple ratio. A platinum wire of
known resistance is coiled around a cylin-
der of fine clay, and covered with tube
Of the same material. The tube is con-
nected with Daniels battery of two cells
and with resistance measurer, and placed
in the furnace whose temperature is to be
ascertained. 1t is then only necessary TO
read off the indications of temperature on
the graduated resistanee-measurer. The
utility of such an instrument is obvious,

THE RELIC BUSINESS. traffic in
relics has taken q new lease of life since
the Franco-German war. The sale of
holy relics, fragments of the cross, ETC.,
has always been confined to the ignorant
and superstitious classes. Public faith
in the relics of the battle of Waterloo
has been upon the wane for some years.
But now really genuine relics are to be
had at trifing price, and Strasbourg
is the great central market for them.-
During the bombardment the spent shells
and other missiles which fell in the city
were collected, and now little bits Of
them, mounted on marble slabs, and
bearing tiny brass plates inscribed "Stras-
bourg, 1870" are sold for mantel orna.
ments. Inkstands and other small arti
cles are ingeniously fashioned from frag-
ments of Shells English and American
tourists are the chief patrons of the rel.
ie-venders.

No PLACE.-A great many boys COM
plain that there are no places. Perhaps
it is hard to getjust such as you like
But when you get place-and there
are places-in this big country, we are
sure, has need Of every good boy and
girl, man and woman in it--when you
get a place, we say, make yourself useful
in it make yourself necessary to your
employers; make yourself SO necessary,
by your fidelity and good behaviour, that
| they cannot do without you. Be willing
to take low price at first, no matter
what the work is, if it be honest work.
Do it we'll; do it the very best you can.
Begin at the very lowest round of the lad
der, and climb up. The great want any
where is faithful, capable workers. =
They are never drug in the market
Make yourself one of these, and there
will always be a place for you, and a
good one too.

SWEET PoRK.-It is beyond a doubt
that cleanliness has much to do with the
flavor of porS. The filthy state in which
many fattening hogs are kept has ten
dency not only to give rank taste to
the meat, but to render it positively un-
wholesome. A common mode of pen
ming hogs at this season is in rail pen,
without protection from the weather.
The consequence is that such pens are
not fit to keep living animal in; wet
and filthy. cold and uncomfortable as
they are, hogs will not take on fat, and
great proportion of food is wasted while
they are kept in them, while the filth, a
considerable amount of which the hogs
will consume, must be detrimental to
their health and to the health of those
who eat their flesh. 1t is not only safer
but more economical to give fattening
animals good shelter and dry beds and
litter, and keep them quite clean. The
labor will be well repaid.

his burning store with sad heart, says
the spectacle that presented itself to him
in many of the side streets was one that
he will never forget. The smoke was
dense, and he had to place handker-
chief over his mouth to escape smother
ing. He saw, he thinks, no less than
twenty men, women and children expire
around him from exhaustion, and some
were stifed. In looking behind as he
was hurrying away, he saw the flames
gaining on him, and above the uproar
of all, he could sometimes hear the pier
cling scream of some unfortunate being.
Mr.. Stevens remained the whole morn
ing around the fire, and was driven from
one place to another.
! For mile and half along the river
the scene was one of awful grandeur
The shipping, public buildings, ware
houses, hotels, and coal and lumber yards
were one vast flame. The air was full
/ OF Hylng emDers.
ANOTHER HORRIBLE SCENE.
Another merchant, describing his mar
row escape from the flames, relates the
following
Just now occurred a scene that froze
our blood. AT the intersection of Ran
dolph and Market streets was a large
building (Callom's) used for Offices
The janitor resided on the fourth fool
with his family, consisting of wife anG
four children. BY some means they
were unable to escape. Surrounded by
the fire, they ascended to the roof. Th,
babe was in the mothers arms, and an
other child, little boy, clung to he
skirts. Two girls were clasped i'll th'
arms of the father. Their shouts wer
but family heard over the howl of tn
winds and the roar of the flames. A
last the heat became so intense that tn
woman was overcome and fell to the root
The father wildly threw out his han,
and staggered, writhed and sunk by hi
