Stokes TRIAL.-The Golden Age
thinks the trial of Fisk's murderer,
Stokes, is destined to be one of pub
lie patience. First, the grand jury
was tried for informality in indicting
this gallant young gentleman. Then
a long time was taken to find juror
ignorant enough to try him.
And now the lawyers are doing their
utmost to prolong the case by petty
quibbling and legal maneuvres.--
Really, it looks as though Mr..
Stokes chances for dying Of old age
is about as good as that of any man
now walking the streets of New
York.

An Actors Resources.

The actor Hind was remarkable for
his presence of mind and fertility in
expedients. One evening, while play
ing in some forgotten melo drama, he
eXtricated himself with honor from an
awkward difficulty. He represented
the hero of the piece, a hardened brig
and, caught at last, and awaiting his
doom in a sombre cell. One of his ac-
eompl ces had coutrivel to convey him
a rope-ladder and file. HIS business
was to file through the bars of his
prison window, and attempt to escape
through the opening. At the moment
when he was getting out of the window,
three soldiers had to rush on the stage,
fire at him, and shoot him dead. Hind
duly went through his part but at the
critical moment of the expected fatal
catastrophe, the guns missed fire. The
soldiers retreated in disorder, and I'M
mediately returned with fresh muskets,
which, not being loaded, merely flashed
IN the pan. Kinds position was be-
coming unpleasant. Suddenly he fell
upon the stage uttering fearful cries,
dragged himself to the foot lights in
apparent agony, and exclaimed, "Mer-
ciful Heaven | have swallowed the
flei Then, after well performed con
WILSON'S, and another loud groan, he
fell stark dead. The audience, who
had begun to murmur, were appeased
with the clever improvisation.

OYSTERS,
Growing Trade and ~ Growing Hi
valve.

A Growing Trade and u Growing Hi
valve.
The English and French are taking
very kindly to the Chesapeake oysters,
and Norfolk is doing large bushes,
in that line. One firm is forwarding at
the rate of l,2O0 barrels per month,
principally to France. another is
shipping at the rate of about l, 900 bar
rels per month to Liverpool At pres
ent they go forward by New York,
thence to destination by steamer.
When the Allan weekly line Plies, the
traffic Will increase. The new trade al
ready give an impulse to oyster raising.
The oy ster "spot," rs soon as it is
free, assumes the most active state OF
life and motion, dancing and gyrating
up and down in concentric columns, rs
midgets play in the evening sunbeams.
A microscope shows how exquisitely
these little fellows are fashioned. A
pair of tiny shells, the counterpart OF
those of the mature oyster, inclose the
yet documentary organs, while affixed
to the mantle is kind of tiny coronet,
composed of minute, hair like append
ages (cilia) The violent and cea1eless
vibration of these living paddles serves
to row the infant oyster rapidly from
the place. Should it become the des-
tiny of one of these fragile beings to
become a steady, we'll. behaved oyster,
it finally settles itself on some suitable
resting place, to which it makes itself
fast--no one ever clearly knows how
by the under valve or shell. The bris-
tle-hke oars of ella, no longer of any
utility, disappear, and now, a perma-
nent fixture, the baby oyster begins to
grow. At about fortnight old it is
not much bigger than a fair-sixed pins
head, and at three months about that
of a split pea. Having attained a
years growth, under favorable condi
tons, the young oyster viii become as
big as an ordinary halfpenny; while at
tour years growth, they are considered
marketable. ....

Dog That Is Worth Something.
The following is from the 2or land
Press
A. G Newman, assistant light-keeper
at Mount Desart, is the owner of tne
the following anecdote: "On Sunday the
18th ult.. Mr.. Newman's little boy, nine
wears old, strayed away and was missing
for about two hours. The mother went
out of doors and called to him, when the
dog in response, ran up from the shore
with the boys wet cap in his mouth, and
signiied by his actions that he desired
her to follow him. The mother, alarmed,
called the father who was sleeping in the
house, and they followed the dog as
quick as possible. Down by the shore on
a rock, the little boy was lying insensi-
BILE, his clothes wet, as if he had been
dragged from the water After long eff
forts, in which the dog rendered all the
assistance he could in his mute way, the
boy was resuscited, and afterwards told
his story. He was on the beach gather.
ing shells when a large wave came in
and carried him off in the undertow The
dog jumped in after him, but the wave
prevented him from reaching the boy for
some minutes. He siezed him by the leg
of his trowsers and tried to drag him
ashore, but the cloth tore in his teeth;
and the boy said he had an indistinct re-
collection of the dog coming down below
the surface for him again and that was
the last thing he was conscious Of 1t
seems that the dog had dragged the child
waves and had tried to restore him.
When he heard the mothers call he took
the cap to inform Der, as well as he cou d,
of the affair, and hasten assistance. y

BY RACHEL PoMERoY.

Life seems worth while upon day Ike this,
Packed full of flavor as nut of meat;
The acrid faint that often spoils their sweet
Now, clarified, its mellow juices MISS
STEPPED by yon sun into pure drops of bliss.
Such yea,her makes one scott at troric heat,
And feel less sad for summers flying feet,
So rare the honey of parting kiss.
Yesterdays fog somehow befogged the brain
And IN the blood streak of madness wove
But this Northwestern Sits bad creams in twain
As Saadn's scimiter tn cushion Glove.
Iwould not change the crisp, immortal breeze
For all the balm of spicy summer seas

A Missing Point,

A Cairo paper reports that the Sur
veyor General of Canada and the AS
tonomer to the ROYAL Engineer Corps
have been in that city searching for the
points where, in 1907, the waters of the
Mississippi and Ohio joined This is
necessary to settle the boundary of a
tract of land, 400 miles square, in
Canada, always in dispute, and in the
original titles defined by landmarks,
one Of which, the junction named, was
directly south of one corner of the
tract. Her Maiesty's Government has
gone to work in earnest to locate this
missing point, which a portion of old
Cairo residents assert is now out in
deep water, while others are equally
certain that it is far inland.
