A LawYer's knowledge.

ALL good lawyers know the value in
the practice of their profession Of general
knowledge or il formation to be obtained
by practical intercourse with the world
and studies outside of the law library. In
a book Just published by the daughter of
an English advocate, Mr.. John Adolphus
the following is told, which will illustrate
the valtie of the kind Of knowledge re-
ferred TO. The writer says:
"a very extraordinary criminal case
was entir, ly decided by the knowledge
my father had picked up of nautical affairs
in his early voyages to and from the West
Indies. Lascars were on their trial for the
murder of the captain of the ship; the
evidence of the mate seemed quite conclu.
sive. In the course of it he said, however,
that at the time of the murder there was
great coUfision, as the ship was in much
peril, and requiring all the attention of the
sailors to prevent her striking on n rock.
My flther who defended the prisoners
asked so many questions as to the exact
number Of the crew, and where each man
was, and what he was engaged in during
this perilOus time, that at last the Judge
whispered, L suppose, Mr.. Adolphus
those questions are to the purpose?
own I 10 not see it, thinking, doubtless
the time of the Court was being wasted
After fw more questions rs TO The
duty each mon was performing, the wit
ness hal accounted for every man Oh
board the captain being belowand the twC
prisoners numbering him. My father fixed
his eyes steadily on the witness, and said
II searching and loud voice, Then who
was u. the hclmg The wretched mate
dropped down IN fit, aud soon sfer con
iessed he was himself the murderer. 1,
his false evidence he had given to eaet
man his position, and forgotten the mos
material, OF rather lett none 10 fill it.

Removing H.neY Bsxes.

SURPLUS boxes should be removed when
full, that the combs may not become dark,
az the finer the appearance of our honey
the better the price and easier the sale.
In taking off the boxes / use two strips
of tin to slide under the box. Leave one
on the hive aud take up one with the
box to keep the bees from coming out III
empty boxes are to be put on, turn the
full boxes bottom up aud place the empty
ones over them Draw out the strip of
tin, aud by rapping on the lower box
drive the bees into the empty one, when
IL may be placed on the hive without the
loss of bee. Be careful to return the
bees 10 the same hive from which they
came or loss may occur To do this, it is
best to have zach set of boxes numbered
to correspond wi. the number of the
hive.
When we do not put on empty boxes in
place of the full ones 1t is best to remove
them at evening, turning them on their
sides in front of the hive. They will
usually be deserted in the morning, and
we must not forget tn be out early to take
care of them before the bees are sstir.
After the boxes are removed from the
hive there Is danger of the honey being
injured by the moth worm. To prevent

Cure FIR BAD Hay.


A CORRESPONDENT of the T'ish Fdrm-
ers' Gdzetts writes On this subject as fol-
lows: As many of your read r. may have
their hay destroy ed by the late rains, al
low me To- suggest TO them the advantage
of spriIkling their ricks with mixture Of
one pound oi fenugreek powder well mixed
with stone and half of salt per ton OF
hay.
A few years ago I had about two tons
Of the worst possible hay, lit, atpaien,y,
for the manure heap, and nothing else
however, made cock Of it in the cor.
ner of the field, and used the mixture
mention, put fence around 1t, and told
my herder to keep ii till snow was on the
ground, and then TO let the beasts eat it II
| they would; but long before the snow
came the bullocks had forced the fence
and were devouring the hay, leaving good
hay, with which they were being fuddeTed

company to witness the 'remony. Pune
tually NJ the appointed hour, the reporter
and several other invited guests presented
themselves at the residence designated,
but owing 70 the interference Of friends,
or some other circumstances, the attempt
was Indefinitely postponed. But the pur-
pose of the writer came very near being
carried out OF course the lady is de-
ranged.
FIFTEEN women were indicted last year
in Prussia, for poisoning their husbands
or other relatives. Nine were convicted
but none of them we're executed In
France, in 1869, twenty.nine married wo.
men were tried ON similar charges, and
| fourteen convicted. These fourteen were
mostly sentenced TO very long terms Of
imprisonment. In Sweden, seven women
were prosecuted, in the year 1870, foI
numbering persons by administering poi
son to them; five of them were convicted
| aud sentenced to the state.prisOn for life
| The most atrocious case of poisoning IN
| Russia, in the year 1869, was that OF the
widow of wealthy Russian banded pro
prietor near Azpw, who was prosecuted

son to them, the death of no less thar
eleven persons, mostly relatives OF 'hel
husband. She was not convicted, but or

A Boys SaBguinary Encounter with
a Wildcat.

AT ten o'clock on Friday morning dog
belonging to one John Felter, a wood
chopper, was heard barking in the noun
tains some distance from the house. Mr..
Felter's little son, twelve years old, know
ing by the bark of the dog that some i'm
portant game was on foot, set out for the
mountains. His mother felt little anxi-
GUS after the boy had gone, and for some
time listened to the barking of the dog.
After half an hour the barking cease1 !;
and, as hour after hour passed away and
the bov did not make his appearance, the
mother set out to go to one of the neigh
bors to secure their help In search for the
boy. On the road she met the husband
returning from the village, where he had
that morning been attending to some busi
nesi. He listened to his wifes story, and,
trying to calm her tears, went hack with
her to the house, and taking his gun
started toward the place indicated by his
wife.
Mr.. Felter travelled about through the
mountains until late in the afternoon, see
ing nothing, hearing nothing, and was
about to return home when he Hlmo,t
stumbled over the dead carcass of a wild
cat. 1t was very large male. Every.
thing indicated terrible conflict
The spectacle gave Mr. FelteI
an apprehension that some terrible thing
had happened to his boy. Examining the
leaves aud underbrush, he had little diff

he came upon the dog, standing over the
body OF his son, who was PROSTATE on the
ground. The dog was earnestly looking
at the boy, and occasionally licking bi
face and hands. On Mr.. Felters approach
he gave loud bark and pranced abOu
with Joy. The father knelC by tue side o
his son and place his hand over the heart
| With 10y unspeakabe he found the litti
fellow alive, but terribly wounded, as i
appeared, by the claws Of the wildcat.

torn to shreds, and his flesh was terribi,
lacerated from head to foot He was sui

Dipping Eggs in Boiling Water.

SOME months ago l saw running the
rounds of the press In substance as follow
" Set eggs an Instant in boiling water; 1t
will cOagulate a thin tilm of the bumen,
and thus make eggs keep long time y
Since then it has been eXtensively tried
with one aud the same result. ALI have
to say is that when tIiCks are to be played
on travellers l do not want to be Ia the
cars; that Is, as jim Jinkers said, my
spearialce" For / bought lot of eggs
thus preserved. The first thing my wife
said was" What queer eggs They have
thick, dirty fllm on the insi e OF them
The next week was little unwell, and
my wife boiled one as a delicacy Tor me,
aud that thing Of an egg had on one side a
black coat aud the rest leathery yellow
skin next to the shell and / could not eat
my boiled egg, which made my wife think
l was sicker than was. 50 she boiled
another, and to please her ate it. But 1t
went down dreadfdlly hard-as IT | was
eating boiled toad, in fact Had only
been aware at that time that the rotten ap-
pearance was due to this phil1sophic way
Of preserving eggs, there would have beeh
| less OF the toad and more or the phlio-
| sophie endurance about my threat
Next we smelled in the pantry some
putli1 thing, and my wife had IL cleane d.
but 20 no effect. At last perc, iVed the
odor not only of some dead animal matter
in the pantry, but of rotton eggs So
investigated the eggs-their center apc
yolk were perfectly sweet; the chicken
bit was alive, aud ii set under hen would
have hatched but the boiled portion
next to the shell, about a sixteenth OF al
inch thick, was putrid aud stunk.
Now, ali have 70 say is, when an an
nounoene ut of scientific discovery Tor TN

sensitive and reading a nation as ours
which lives and adopts new things so rap
idly, the pI omulgator ought to be SUR

dead matter by the boiling, of course Il
decays Just as would the whole egg If
hard boiled. And hence the discolor.
alton in few days, and the offensive
stencil.
Could the eggs be dipped in hot water
an instant, and then, before cooling, the
shell be rendered impervious to air, the
the egg would be made like a fruit jar in
its principle, and henceikeep longer than
1t otherwise would. But to put the eggs
as has been recommended. in hot water,
and leave the shell permeable by air, is
only to hasten the decay. All this might
have been known by the one who was so
uuwise as to recommend this delusive
process Such eggs will not keep as long
as il not put in hot water an instant, for
all the reasoning is false. And since wax,
tallow, India rubber, or any other coating
of the shell Of an egg, neither is nor can
be made air tight, all applications of heat,
and of such substances, hot or cold, must,
as they did fifty years ego, isil to keep
eggs (See patent English processes,

Another a" Failure"

WHAT a curious thing "failure Is TO
the mind of Democratic editors. Secretary
Boutwell, has Just negotiated loan of
one hundred and thirty millions, the en-
tire remainder of the new five per cent.
bonds, and yet the New York World de-
votes column TO proving it a failure |
The test, we should suppose, would be
whether the money is received by the
Treasury Department in the time and on
the terms agreed upon. That is usually
regarded as about as convincing proof of
su C, IS as can be furnished. 1t is not,
therefore, without some feeling of amaze
ment that we learn that that is no test at
all. The failure DOS not consist in not
getting the money, but in getting i'll In
other words IL is the same kind of failure
this Administration is making in reducing
taxation, paying the public debt, preseIv.
Ing the national credit, and keeping hnan-
ciL sffirs in safe and practical shape. 1t
Is the failure to fail, variety Of failure
much enjoyed by the people at large
