A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-The follow
ing beautiful sentiment was recently utter
ed by Judge John L. T. Sneed in deliver.
ing the opinion of the Supreme Court in
the case of Harrison VS. Wisdom ct al from
the law docket of Montgomery county.
"The idea that the judicial officer is sup
posed to be vested with ermine though "a
bulous and mythical is yet more elegant in
its significance. We are told that the lit
tie creature called the ermine is so aeutely
sensitive as to its own cleanliness that it be-
comes paralyzed and powerless at the slight
est touch ofdefilement upon its snow white
fur. When the hunters are pursuing it they
spread with mire the pass leading to its
haunts, toward which they then drive it.,
knowing that it will submit to be captured
rather than defile itself. And like sensi-
bility should belong to him who comes to
exercise the august functions of Judge"

ANOTHER YEAR.

"Another year." she said, "another year
These roses have watched with so much care
Have watched and tended without pain or fear
Shall bud and bloom for me exceeding fair
Another year." she said, ''another year."
"Another year." she said, "another year,
Ny life, perhaps may bud and bloom again,
May bud and bloom like these red roses here,
Unlike them, tended with regret and pain
Another year, perhaps, another year.
"Another year, ah, yes another year,
When bloom my roses, all my life shall bloom;
When summer comes, my summer too'll be here,
And l shall cease to wander in this gloom
Another year, ah, yes another year.
"For ali another year, another year,
I'll set my life in richer, stronger soil,
And prune the weeds away that creep too near,
And watch and tend with never ceasng toll
Another year, all, yes another year."
Another year, alas! another year,
The roses all lay whitening ere their prime,
Poor blighted buds, with scanty leaves and sere,
Dropping and dying long before their time
Another year, alas another year.
And all another year, another year,
Low, like the blighted dying buds, she lay,
Whose voice had prophesied without fear,
Whose hand had trimmed the rose-tree day by
day,
To bloom another year, another year.

The Belfast Riots.


Belfast has always been noted for its
troubles among the turbulent classes OF
that city. Riots like that which began
on August 10Th, and Is still continuing,
have frequently occurred In Belfast. On
August 9Th, 1884, one broke out which
lasted over ten days, and 10 persons were
killed and 3l6 were seriously injured.
The loss caused by the stoppage Of the
mills and other works amounted to $3.50.
600. The immediate cause OF the out.
break was procession and the unveil-
ing Of o statue Of Daniel 0'COnnell. A
caricature Of the Irish LiberatOr was car.
ried about by the opposite party and at
forwards burned. This indlgnity arous.
ed the feelings ofthe friends OF 0'Connell
TO an ungevernable pitch. Paving
stones, briCk.bats and clubs were first
used, and then guns and swords were re.
sorted to. The military, consisting OF
one regiment Of infantry, two squadrons
Of cavalry and battery OF artillery,
were at last called out and put down the
riot, which the local constabulary and
one thousand special police had not been
able TO quell. On August 23d, 1857, a
series Of riots commenced in Belfast,
which lasted for two weeks, the assaults
taking place in the evening, and each
party being plentitully provided with
guns. This outbreak was caused by the
harangues OF an enthusiast named Hanna,
who during the riots kept up the excite.
ment by issuing violent addresses to his
Ollowers.
The present riots grew out of attacks
made during celebration Of the expiry
of the PROFESSIONS Act" prohibiting par.
AIDES and professions Of character likely
to be made pretexts for breaches Of the
peace. They are continued, however, by
the lawless and turbulent who are always
ready for such work, ard by the thieves
who see IN them large opportunities for
plumber. 1t is a disgrace to the peace
authorities OF the city, to the Government,
and to all responsible for the preservation
OF order, that they have been PERMITTED
to go so long unchecked. Nothing but
grossest partially, or partizanship, with
the aggressors, in this instance, can ex-
plain the criminal dilatoriness OF the local
and general government. 49,
Beltrst, the chief manufacturing and
commercial city of ireland, Is situated at

depot Of the linen trade Of the, North Of

factories both Of cotton and linen. Bel

acres, Of which 1870 acres are in the SUI
burb Of Ballymacarret, county Down.
The river Lagan, dividing the city, is
crossed by three granite bridges and two

property subject to poor,rates amounted to
$9,1392 go, and the population had incrca.
sed to l74,S94, OCCUPYING 27,967 houses.
In 1866 the imports Of Belfast amounted

CADlz AND THE W. s L. E. R. R-A

Oadiz route ovor the Hopedale route for

intends to raise 100000 in aid of the en-
tcrprise; and her people are naturally So
licitous that the road shall pass through
that part Of the county where it will con.
fer the greatest advantages. There is no
question, VIC think that much better
country WILDE reached Via Cadiz than

from other lines will contribute more to
the business ofthe road and afford bet.

The Power of Comprehension.

(From Hearth and Honey
1t was said OF Thoreau, we believe,
that he could take up any number OF lead
pencils without counting, A celebrated
trapper once assured US that he could tell
how many balls he had in his bullet
pouch by placing his hand on it, and
without stopping TO count them, and
added: % can tell the number OF bullets
instantly without counting, as YOU pro.
nounce word without spelling It."
Southey was accustomed to take In the
substance Of q book In turning the leaves
over continuously, glancing down the
pages Holdan, the magician, trained
himself to quickness OF perception when a
boy, by running past a show.window at
full speed, and thon trying to tell what
was in 1t. We once met q man on q Ca
nal boat who was amusing himself by go.
ing from passenger to passenger, and tell.
ing almost every one where he had seen
them before, on such train, in such 3
hotel, in such q street, giving date and
place to people with whom he had never

faculties in particular directions Is carried
to a marvellous extreme by woodsmen,

The SUMS Doings.

The very great heat Of this Summer,
both In Europe and America, Is the occa.
sion Of many solemn articles, some Of
which seem wise, but many of them
quite otherwise, These articles genef-,
orally assume the form Of specuiations
based on the late high estimate Of the
heat Of the sun, and OF the more recent
discoveries, by means Of the spectroscope,
that there Is an unusual combustion OF
magnesium going on at the outer edge OF
the envelope Of that luminary, The
question Is grayely asked, Is the sun
burning upS and an affirmative answer
seems TO DO assumed. But whether this
Is true or not, there Is no special peril.
ncnce In the question at this time. For
great as the heat Is, It Is not very unusu.
al. The extreme Of heat or cold, or tho
pain that we,suffer OF any one time, Is
apt 70 seem seyerer than anything oil the
kind that we remember. But when We
come to actual record or memory, II Is
not necessary TO be even the son OF the
Oldest inhRbitant 10 recollect more than
one season when June and July were as
hot and dry, and August as hot and
"muggy," as they have been this yearst
And as 10 the suns burning up, these
writers seem 10 forget one scientific prln.
ciple that is absolute throughout the uni.
verse-the idestructability Of matter
Matter changes form, but Is never de-
stroyed. 1t may be replied, however: If
o house burns up, the matter OF which
II Is composed changes It's form into car
bon, ashes and gas, It Is to all intents and
purposes destroyed. And so II the sun
passes, through combustion, into the form
ofan incombustible and Yagrant gas, so
far as the earth Is concerned in the mat.
ter, It Is burned up and destroyed. But
1t has been found in the history OF the
universe matter, when 1t changes form,
takes a form in which It may be reabsorb.
edand reproduced, If not exactly as it
was before, in a substance somewhat
kindred TO its former condition. Thus
our earth, Notwithstanding all the con.
vulsions Of nature, the burnings and the
drownings, and, what Is not Of less mo.
ment, the constant action of silent and
and normal forces, has not lost the weight
OF o grain for more thousands Of years
than the ablest scientific men will ven
ture to compute. And so Il Is at least
probable that, Notwithstanding the hIri.
Gus combustion OF magnesium which
seems to be going on in tho sun, the re-
sidua will be received back again in q
form that will contribute to the combus.
tiOn that has been going on for so many
cycles In that quarter. If not, we may
at least safely assume that the consump.
tion Of our light that rules the day will
probably be so slow that by the time it
Is completed, man, on the Darwinian
principle Of the survival of the fittest,
will have gradually become creature to
whom light and heat are matters Of no
Importance.

The straight.outs.

(trom the chicago Foet)
More and more every day It looks as If
an important political diversion were to
be made by the louisville Convention
and its support. Blanton Duncan is no
scare-crow, after all. On the contrary,
he appears to be very tangible pile OF
bones, capable OF mischief. There are
hundreds Of thousands OF Democrats In
the country who cannot be induced TO
vote for Greeley under any combination
Of circumstances or any pressure of ap.
peal-not fewer than three hundred thou.
sand, we should say, in the country
that is, about onetenth Of the party.
Then there are at least five times as
many, or halfthe party, who will take
the Cincinnati pill as very bitter dose,
and who beg to be delivered. These
would both gladly unite in support Of
Charles 0'COnor, II he can be brought
out with respectable backing, and a de.
cent show OF strength. O'Conor belongs
to the Bourbon wing OF the Democratic
party; believes earnestly in the Kentucky
resolutions OF '0s; hasno doubt that An.
drew Jackson was an inspired patriot
who ought TO be cannonized as saint;
thinks slavery was a tolerably good thing
Tor all parties whom it affected; looks
tondly on James Buchanan as the last Of
the giants among American statesmen,
and declares that the Southern States had
an undoubted constitutional right to Sc.
cede. He has the advantage OF beng a
thoroughly honest man, both as q lawyer
and q politician-and having taken a
leading part in the overthrow OF the cor.
rupt Tammany ring.
The movement is spreading with won.
derful celebrity. In several Western
States the Straight-outs have already
held enthusiastic Conventions, and made
nomination for Congress, and il the Louis.
vile assemblies able to stamp itself on
eparty as the simon-pure, original
Democracy, it will doubtless be followed
by stampede from the Greeley hybrid
camp to the new allied army Of Bour-
bons.
