During the late Editorial Conven-
ton at Jackson there were some rich
things happened. Mackley had STRAIT
ed q story OF rats going down the coal
shafts, and finding nothing to save
life but the oil in the miners jug, he
said they had learned to extract it by
squatting over the jug and dropping
their tails in until saturated and then
drawing them out and licking them
off. Chapman was a little suspicious
Of t'sellb and at once found Mackley
and proceeded to get reliable infoTma-
ton. Taking jug, to illustrate the
thing, two descended a coal shaft, and
retiring to a dark corner, they took of
their coats and devoted themselves to
scienee-Maekley as lecturer or the
adaptation Of means to ends as de-
velOped by rats-and Chapman as a
pure lover of truth seeking knOWl-
edge. 1t may be well enough to re-
mark that the Jug used on this Occa-
sion did not contain OIL Mackley, to
illustrate how the rats got their tails
in, would poke stick down, and then
he and Chapman would lick it OF.
After going through the process for
half an hour Chapman began to see
how the thing was done, but in
short time he WASH able to see any
thing else, and as for Maekley, after
he had ceased to be able to get the
stick into the jug, he mechanically
poked it down outside until he went
to sleep. This accounts for their ab-
sence at the Editorial Convention.
Long after the Convention adjourned,
these two sdUdnts were found asleep
in the coal shaft, lying upon their
backs with their mouths open, and
the rats, thinking they had a "sOft
thing" in a new kind Of q jug, were
the old game with their
tails.-P0TtsmOuth Tribune.

A Story Of Rufus ChOate,

Colonel John W. Forney, in his
Anecdotes Of Public Men" tells the
following: i'I heard a very pleasant
incident a few evenings ago, related
by q distinguished Senator in Con-
gress from one OF the Western States,
who was himself the party immedi-
ately benefited. Anxious when quite
young to complete the study Of his
profession, he visited Boston, and
called upon Mr.. ChOate and offered
himself as one Of his students. Struck
BY the earnestness and frankness of
his appeal, the great lawyer took him
into his confidence, and soon realized
that he could be made useful. Atthe
end OF two years, the student inform
ed the preceptOr that he intended to
begin the practice of his profession in
the fOurishing State Of Wisconsin.
The answer Of Mr.. Choate was char
acteristie. He said: Il honor your
determination, but / was selfish
enough to hope that you would re-
main with me, yet as you have re-
solved upon this step you can always
rely upon my friendship then asked
il he had any money, to which the
young man replied that he had no
means to purchase his law library,
Whereupon Mr.. Choate said, Go TO
Little & Brown 1.-THE cd established
law publishers), select your books,
and refer them to me as security
Elated by this renewed mark Of his
esteem, he laid in what he conceived
to be q good assortment, and took the
list back to the great man, who,
glancing over it, said, Your list it too
small , and, taking up the legal cata-
logue, he designated with his own
hand a very much increased cOllec-
ton, amounting to some four or five
thousand dollars, adding, With these
tools you can begin something like
effective work Our young practi-
toner started for the West and open
ed his Office, but, as bad luck would
have It, was stricken down by one Of
the dangerous fevers Of the country.
OF course he could not pay the note
when due, but Mr.. Choate kindly
and carefully protected his credit.
With unbrOken spirit and restored
health he began the practice Of the
law, and at the end Of q comparative
ly short time earned enough to liqui-
date his obligation. But, he said,
'as long as life lasts I shall never cease
to cherish the name of Rufus ChOate,
and would walk from here to Boston
barefooted to serve any Of his kith
or kin. -

HOW NATIONS PERISH.

NJ. Paul de st. Victor has published
a feuilleton in the Paris Li5erte, en-
titled "HOw Nations Perish" The
conclusion Of this essay is striking.
Having shown how Poland persisted,
NJ. de st. Victor adds: Amid varie-
ty and unlikeliDess, the situation Of
France is, at present moment, as
tragic as that of Poland. France has
her Russia in the Prussian power. A
world Of barbarians has formed itself
around her, supplied with all the arms
and appliances Of destruction. 1t has
inflicted terrible defeats upon her /;
her torn frontiers lay her heart bare (;
her military genius seems, for the
time, to have Withdrawn from her,
Like Poland, France contains the
deadly germs which will infallibly
destroy her If she does not eXtirpate
them in time from her bosom. Drawn
in different directions by the Repub-
lie and by three rival dynasties, she,
in some sort, suffers the torment Of
being torn asunder in q political
sense. The perpetual revolt Of her
minOrities against the government Of
law is neither less impious nor less
4 n
hrst dismemberment has cruelty mu-
tilated her the second one will come,
and then the third, II, fallen and
groveling on the ground, she is con-
vulsed in anarchy instead Of raising
herself by frmness and harmony.
Prussia viii excite her parties, add
fuel to her hatreds, rouse her mobs,
and then, under the pretext Of social
police, establish the invasion upon
her territory. The time will come,
Prussia will take the world to witness
that this incOrrigible people must be
enslaved. She will perhaps impose
on France a tributary Prince, a he'll
mated vassal Of q crown charged to
keep guard on behalf Of it, and to
hold the gates open to it. Europe,
seized with disgust or terror, will al
low everything to proceed. Con-
tempt viii stifie the sympathies which
she still retains for us. She will ac-
custom herself to the idea of a dis
membered France, and will think OF
nothing but being permitted to share
in the partition order will reign in
Paris, as at Warsaw. A legend re-
lates that KosciuskO, falling at Podza-
NEE, beneath the lance thursts Of the
Cossack, traced these fateful words
upon the snOW-Finis PolOniR. II,
France, bruised and wounded, loses
in the cOnvulsiOns Of civil war the
life which remains to her, it will be
in mire and blood that her last COM
batant will write the epitaph Of his
dead country"

The Execution Of Rnllnfr.

On last Thursday RullOh was hanged
in the yard of the BinghamptOn, New
York, jail. He died with the same firm
ness he has exhibited since the hour Of
his arrest. His last night was some
what restless, and he slept but little. At
1I:2O the condemned man entered the
yard, and walked without support under
the moose, which, having been arranged,
Sheriff Martin read the death warrant,
which occupied some minutes. He then
asked RullOff;
"Have you anything to say why the
sentence Of the law should not now be
carried into effect2''
The prisoner answered in his natural
voice, "EOt anything"
The Sheriff then asked II he desired
any further delay, and received a mega
tive reply by a shake Of the head Of the
condemned.
All this time the prisoner was stand
ing unsupported and gave no sign of
emotion, except a gentle sway Of the
body. At 1I.33, the signal was given
and he was jerked up with tremendous
force, but his neck was not broken. The
instant the body settled down the spec
tators were Mortified by seeing his right
hand naturally raised and thurst into
the pocket Of his pantalOons. There was
no other movement except slight museu-
lar contractions, and after fifteen min
utes the heart ceased to beat. His death
was by strangulatiOn. RullOf, in his
last interview with his council express
ed wish for the latter to take charge Of
his body, to await orders Of his
brother. The body was accordingly de-
liYered, in a coffin provided BY the
Sheriff.

The New Liouor Law.

A suit was decided before Justice kol-
be in Cleveland, last week, Of consider
able importance. 1t was brought by
wife against a keeper Of a saloon for
damages alleged 10 have been sustained
in consequences Of liquor haYing been
sold by the defsndent 70 the husband OF
the plaintiff. IL was the pioneer case or
the kind in that region, and was brought
under the new law, passed April Is, lofOi
which provides As follows:
@That every husband. wife, child
parent, guardian, employer or other per-
son who shall be injured in person or
property or means cf support Dy any
intoxicated person, or in consequences OF
the intoxieation, habitual or otherwise,
or any person shall have right
Of action against any other per-
son or persons who shall, BY selling or
giving Intoxicating liquors, have caused
intoxicatiOn in whole Orin part Of such
person or persons; and the owner OF
lessee or person or persons renting or
leasing any building or premises, having
knowledge that intoxicating liquors are
to be sold therein in violation Of law, or
having leased the same for other pur-
poses shall knowingly permit intOLica-
ting liquors 70 be sold in such building
or premises that have caused the intOxi-
cation, shall be liable for
all damages sustained as well as exer-
plary damages"
Plaintiff claimed that defendant had
sold liquor to her husband, Henry Rec
son, who had been in the habit Of getting
intoxicated for four or FIVE years, and
who had done nothing % provide for her
support. It was in testimony that the
plaintiff had gone to the defendants
saloon hundreds Of times TO look for her
husband, and that she had taken him
away from there many times; also, that
on one occasion, when plaintiff remon-
strated with defendant for selling liquor
TO her husband, the defendant replied
that he would sell him all he pleased
The jury before whom the case was
tried were intelligent in a high degree.
Damages were laid at $500, all that could
be sued for in Justices court. The
jury, amer a few minutes deliberation,
returned a verdict awarding plaintiff
the full amount Of her claim.
The next morning Mrs. Reeson filed a
petition for divorce from her husband.

THE Israelite (newspaper) Of May
ence, derives the word German from
the name Of the eldest son of Japhet,
Conner. 1t says that lone Of the old
est Aramaic tranSlatiOns Of the Bible,
the 'Targum Jerushalim,' falsely
aseribed to Jonathan ben Usid, speaks
of 'Germania' as one of the countries
in which Corners descendants were
living. That by q simple metathesis
Conner has becomes converted into
German is clear to any one who
knows Hebrew. The BabylOnian
Talmud, too iona Of 10), and the
TaImud 'Jerushalim, in the first
chapter of the treatise 'AIegiliah, de-
scribe 'Germania' as the residence Of
the descendants OF Conner. We can
not here omit to observe that the old
est son Of Conner is called in the
Bible Askenas, and that in Jewish
literature, as well as in the popular
language, this name is commonly
used for Germany. Now, the Asca-
mans are, if not the oldest, at least
one Of the Oldest Of the German dy-
nastic families. Hence it would
follow that the defendants OF Conner,
called after their ancestor 'GOmTans'
or German settled under the direc-
tion Of Askenas, the eldest son. Of
Conner, in the country which they
then called 'Germania.'

Like Cures Like.

A story is told Of a citizen Of Dam
bury, Connecticut, who was broken
Of the wretched habit Of swearing in
q novel manner. He was an inveter-
ate cursor and grumbler. At every
meal he neglected his blessing, and
swore at everything from the gravy
to the teapot. His Oaths diseolored
the napkins, soured the bread, and
eurdled the milk. His wife, a woman
who evidently believed the hair Of the
dog would cure the bite, stood this
unseemly conduct ''until forbearanee
ceased to be q virtue.n One morning
he was unusually cross and profane,
and was about to take a fresh start at
something else, when his wife sud
denly broke out with a series Of
damns that made the old gentleman
get up and leave his chair as though
some one had introduced a pin be-
tween the canes. AS soon as she
ceased he breathlessly remarked,
''Well, I swear, If it has got so you
can swear, it is time I quit" +" and
he did.
