An Inhunan Little Rascal.

Patsy Gavin, a lad of the tender age of
eight years was arrested yesterday, at the
instigation of one of the officers of the HUI
name Society, on the charge Of cruelty to
animals. The special charge made at the
trial in the afternoon before Justice Haines
was that on one day last week the inhuman
little wretch had enticed little black-and-
tan dog away from his owner, and then
cruelty dug its eyes out with a jack-knife,
after which string was tied about the an
imal's neck and it was thrown into sink
and then hauled out and dragged through
the streets in most inhumane manner
until it died. All these facts wero clearly
proven in court, several persons residing in
the neighborhood testifying to the facts,
and asserting that the young wretch was
constantly in the habit of amusing himself
in that way. Being too young to send to
the house of correction, he was left off with

Singular Costumes of Scandinavians

An Edingburg paper says: The
peculiar dress and antiquatcd ap-
pcarance of a considerable number
of Scandinavian crnigrants, who
landed at Grauton from the steam
ship Scotia, attracted considerable
attention from all who witnessed
their Decentralization. The party
consisted of one hundred and three
adults and a number of children,
the majority being from the north
crn interior and more mountainous
parts of Norway. The cmigrants,
of both sexes, were tall and we'll
proportioncd and hcalthy-loOliing,
with features not unlike those most
familiar along the northern scacost
of Scotland. The dress of the wo-
men consists of skirts of strong fab
ric, gathered into a band placed
round the body under tho armpits,
and suspended from the shoulders
bv braces. Their arms and shout
dcrs are only protected from the
weather by Il loose "bodg" of white
calico. The skirts reach only to the
knee, and black open-work stock.
iugs, with low shoes turned up anc
pointed at the toes, and a head drcs'
consisting of Il little shawl twistoC
into turban, complete the costume
The mon wear long boots, trowser
seated and knccd with leather anC
| the waists continvcd up to the arm
pits, Jackets ornamcmod with but
tons in front, but so short that they
scarcely cover the shoulder blades
and felt hats.
These cmigrants are princlpall,
farmers, and their destinations ar
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and othe
parts of the lake district. Although
their dress and that OF their famillc
excited some little astonishmcnt ye
in many respects it is far moro sen
sible aud less grotcsque than tn
costumes which might have bee
, seen this week by spectators of th
company proceeding to Hor Maje'
) tvs drawing-room at Buckingham
, Palace, and there can be little dout
: that the "peculiar dress and antiqu'
(; ted appearance" of many ladies VIII
!, sat shivoring in their carriages o
> the Mall for an hour before the pa
: ace gates were thrown open woul
: have excited both the wonder an
commiseration of the Scandinavia
emigrantS.

AntidOtes for Poison.

Commercial oil of turpentine is a
good antidote to poisoning by phos-
phorus. The two substances form a
compound in the stomach resem-
Fling spermaceti, and this can readi-
ly he removed from the system.
Laudanum or other anodyne is
sometimes taken by mistake or 9th
erwise in excess. Swallow strong
coffee or the whites of several eggs
instantly All these things are to be
done while the doctor is coming.
Let every family remember that
sweet oil, the whites of eggs and
strong coffee antagonizs a larger
number of poisons than perhaps all
other things together.
If laudanum, or any other poison
not burning the throat, is taken and
is promptly discovered, the best
plan is to get it out Of the stomach
instantly, which is done by stirring
tablespoonful OF ground mustard
ia a tumbler Of water, and drinking
it down at once; almost before 1t is
down the whole contents OF the stom-
ach begin to be elected.

How the World viii End.
LECTURE Of Prof Fiskc before the American &c
graphical Society

/
graphical Society.
Planets are constantly mtcgrating
different materials which they en-
counter in their progress through
space, and it has been estimated
that the earth adds to itself nearly
one hundred and fifty billions
of such motccric PARTICLES every
year. Secondly, it has been proved
that every planet must DC slowly
losing part of its molar motion of
rotation. The effect Of tidal waves,
which are caused by the Gravitation
of liquid toward other planetary
bodies, is to retard diurnaL rotation;
and, in fact, the terrestrial day is
Heightened by reason of the friction
Of the tides, and it is destined in the
remote future to give about 4SO
hours between sunrise and sun set.
The earth is also losing molecular
motion by radiation. That some
terrestrial heat is lost without com
pens ,tion-and very slowly, Of
course can hardly be doubted, and
for the state of things thus ultimate
ly to be produced we may find Il par
allcl in the present condition OF the
moon. That appears to afford an
example Of the universal death
which, in an inconccivably distant
future, awaits the entire solar sys-
ten. If, along with the dissipation
of the molar and molecular motions,
the planets are also losing angular
velocity, this loss Of motion will ul-
timatcly result in their integration
With the sun. Of two facts which
bear upon the subject, one QamiIiar
to all students Of scicncc) is the OBJ
served rctardation of Enck's comet
by the resistance Of the medium
through which it moves. The 9th
cr, which, so far as | know, has not
hitherto been mentioned, is that all
the planets are nearer the sun than
they ought to be, according to
Bodies law, the variations being
most conspicuous, as might bo cX-
pccted in the case of Neptune, 1t
is at least worthy Of notice that the
discrepancy is such Ms might have
been caused by slow diminution Of
the angular vclocities of the planets.
Another fact, that the intorplanctary
spaces are filled with matter, and
that, consequently, all planetary
bodies rushing through them must
meet with resistance and lose mo-
mcntum, proves that immense mo
mcntum will be eaten up by the re-
sistant force. This loss of tangcn-
tial momentum must bring all the
planets into the sun. AS the plan
ct slowly draws near the sun, ltf
lost tangontial momentum is re
placed, and somewhat moro than re-
placed, by tic added velocity due tc
the increased gravitativc force cxcr
ted by the sun at the shorter dis,
tancc. At the last the planet mus
strike the sun with tremendous
force. The heat generated by the
earth and the sun alone in tuch
collision would suffice to produce
temperature of nearly 100000 de
grccs ccntigradc. OF course disin
tcgration would ldimmcdiatcly follow
and the next stage is the dissipation
of the who.o into ncbula.

Mrs. Haskelrs Life Of Her Husband.

In the last issue of the Dyer coun-
ty Progress there is very highly
complimentary notice of the Life
and Times of Gen. HASKELL" by his
widow, the Librarian of the State
Library. 1t is said that she propo-
scs to obtain one thousand subscri-
bors before publishing the book, and
in aid of the scheme the Progress
says this number ought to be OBJ
tanned in West Tennessee alone.
"Gen. Haskell" it adds, "was the
pride of our section, and his name
before his death was a household
word. The work is complete
chronicle of West Tennessee, from
the Floridawar until HaskelPsdeath,
giving an account not only of his
own action in the military and po-
litical strifes he was engaged in, but
also ofthc many eminent men he
met on both fields, and in a book
that should be in every house. Mrs.
Haskell is Il fit biographer Of her
brave and brilliant husband"

Anecdotc of Tom COrMin.

The death of Tom Corwin, which
gave us all sorrow, served to revive
many & cd stories concerning him.
When quito young man he WAS
elected II member OF the General AS
sembly OF the S ate of Ohio, and car
ly in the session he brought in bill
for the destruction of the whipping
post, He made an earnest speech
in luvol Of the measura, to which IN
elderly member replied as follows:
"Mr. Speaker, the gentleman is not
as old us | am, and has not seen us
much Of the Pr,ctcal operation OF
the system OF punishment which he
desires TO abolish. When [ lived in
Connecticut, if fellow stole horse
or cut up other antics, we used to
tie him up and give him a rea! good
thrashing and he always cleared
right ont, and we never saw any
thing more Of him. It's the best
way of getting rid of the rogues that
ever was tried, and without expense
to the State" Mr.. Corwjn, who new
er failed to carry his point by Il loke,
if the argument was against hun,
only made the brief reply: "Mr.
Speaker, l have often been puzzled
to account for the vast emigration
from Connecticut to the West, bu'
the gentleman last up has oSpRlno
it to my Satisfaction" Cor~in's blI
passed by an overwhelming majority
