The Law of Enlistment.--A Case
In the United States Court--A
Youth Enters the Regular Army.

The Law of Enlistment.--A Case
In the United States Court--A
Youth Enters the Regular Army.
Yesterday morning case Of more
than ordinary interest was finally dis
posed of i'm the United States Court. 1t
seems that on the second day OF the
present saoath, Valentine Rufus, OF
Lawrencevilie, enlisted in the regular
army in this city, and was about to be
sent off with ether recruits when his
father made application for writ of
habeas corpus to get him released, on
the ground of minority. The case was
argued by Mr.. Reardon for the relators
and Assistant District Attorney Adam +,
for the government. The counsel pro-
ceeded to show that Rufus was but 10
wears of age, and therefore could not be
held, but the point was raised by the
Government that according to the act
OF Congress regulating enlistments, the
oath OF the recruit as to his age was suf-
ficient and could not be gainsayed, and
as Rufus had made affidavit at the time
of enlistment that he was Of proper age,
he could not be released.
Judge McCandless, after hearing the
arguments, rendered decision refus-
ing the writ, remanding young Rufus
back to his regiment and ordering his
father to pay the costs.

Z PRAYING WITH HCAUTION.-Weh have
a fresh anecdote Of Elliston, one of most
delightful actors Of England hundred
years ago. When scarcely eighteen he
was one day engaged in earnest conver-
sation with the hostess Of a tavern at
Mapping, with whom he was smitten.
An alarm Of fire was given, and as it
was necessary to conceal young Robert
William, he was placed in hasped
chest. Five minutes passed stu the
noise continued-nay, it increased. He
tried to raise the lid. but she had pru-
IDENTIFY fastened it. He listened: the
confusion in the house became more
evident. He could hear persons run
ming to and fro; he heard the drippings
of water. All considerations but those
of personal safety vanished. He sought
with all his might to extFieate himself
lin vain; frightful thoughts of being
burned alive flashed through his mind.
SAT last, to use his own words, ''I had
nothing for it butpatience and prayer"
"Prayer!" exclaimed his hearer; you
should have said repentance also.n
''Sir," he replied, 81 did not pray di-
rectIy for myself, but that those who
were endeavoring to subdue the fire
might be iad,.ced to take care Of the fur
nit,re.D fa 49,,
Ellison's fame went out with the fire,
and he went to that tavern no more

The sponge trade Of the Gulf coast Of
Florida is rapidly assuming large pro-
portions. Twenty-eight vessels have
lately been engaged in the business, and
are reported as having been very sue

one Of these days.
The importation of cloth into Japan
from Europe, and particularly from
Germany, has increased to an enormous
extent within few years. The German
government has taken official notice OF
this fact. The japanese greatly prefer
prey color, and German manufacturers
and exporters are advised by their gov
ernment to send cloth to Japan of the
same quality and at the same prices
as that furnished from England and
France.

THE system of ''strikes" seems to find
but little favor among the workmen of
Italy. When they feel themselves
aggrieved they lay their case fairly be-
fore the authorities, who intercede with
the employers, and hitherto they have
always succeeded in acquiring their
wishes, whether as to an increase Of
wages ora diminutlon of the hours Of
labor. Some attempts have, however,
been made to get up strikes in some of
the large cities, and Roman cores
pondent of the Independence Beige tells
of a recent abortive one to induce the
operative masons of Rome to turn out.
When the meeting began one stalwart
workman propounded the very peril
nent question: "But who will pay me
for my idle time shen am out Of
work?' "The trades union funds"
was the reply. "How long will these
funds maintain me in idleness?" ''Five
days." said one, "and perhaps thirty"
said another. "And what after the
FIVE or thirty days have expired?" To
this nobody seemed to be able to give a
reply, upon which murmur of dissat-
isfaction went through the meeting,
and the questioner was surrounded and
and applauded with cries of "He is
right; we must think Of our wives and
children" The general exclamation
was "No strike" and the meeting
thereupon separated. the masons re-
turning peacefully to their work.

MhyD Eggs Spoil.

We find lining the shell thin skin,
which, when kept In healty condi-
ton by the ealbumen of the egg, Is i'm
pervious to air, but if the egg remains
too long In one position, the yelk, being
heavier than the albumen, gradually
sinks through it, and comes in contact
with the skin, and having none Of the
qualities requisite for keeping the skin
fabricated and healthy, the skin soon
becomes dry and pervious to air, which
penetrates through it to the yelk, caus-
ing the mass to rot. Therefore, the
true plan is to keep the yelk in its CEN
tral posion. BY doing this, the egg can
be preserved for long time.
My plan for accomplishing this is to
take a keg or barrel, and pack the eggs
on their sides, end to end, laying q tier
first around next to the staves, and so
continue until layer is filed; so till the
barrel is full. Use oats for packing; Jar
them down as much as is required to
keep them firmly in their place; head
up the barrel ready for market. BY
rolling the barrel about a quarter around
every few days he yelks of the eggs
will be kept as required.
