Before Judge Curtis.
Kelly ct al. We. l. Steinhardt.-The wife Of de-
PENDANT went to the store OF plaintns and ordered
q suit OF furniture as present to her son, Z. r.
Steinhardt Judge Curtis held that defendant
could not be charged, as he was liable only for
necessares That the credit which the marital re-
lation implies, so far as the mercantile world is
concerned, does not encourage luxury nor extrav-
agancc; that the goods in question were not neces-
Saries within the meaning OF the law.
Interesting TO Silk Dealers.
Paterson Silk Manufacturing Company va.
Samuel M. Fisher ct al.-This action is brought to
recover the sum of $9ss o. for silk sold to the de.
fendant by the plaintin. The defence set up was
that the goods were sold on the representation
that they would be made equal IN every respect TO
goods OF the same character manufactured
by one Steaene, and that the goods
proved to be inferior to those Of that
manufacturer. 1t was further contended that said
contract was rescinded by defendants by Offering
to return the merchandise. In reply plaintiff
sought to establish that 1t did not contract to FUR
tract was not rescnded by defendants.
Judge Curtis charged the Jury that the burden
OF pre- or was on defendants TO show that the con-
tract was as alleged by them; that II they had an
opportunity to examine the goods, and then
.Cepted them. the sale became absolute. and
plaintiff should recover; that 1t was the duty OF
defendants, soon as the defect was discovered.
TO rescnd the contract by returning or Offering to
Jeturn tie goods. Jury still out.

Polar Regions.

Intensely cold, stormy and ice-bound
as all nature is at the Arctic circle, there
are evidences in multiplied forms to
prove that the climate in those inhos-
pitable abodes of the white bear and
walrus was once as mild, warm and de-
lightful as in the Island of Cuba.
Vegetable productions of the soil SO
ancient we have no data to reckon from
are abundant. These grew fuxuriantly
where it is almost impossible to sustain
either plants or animals with all the ap-
pliances of art, and from their structure
are particularly fitted for tropical
climate. This statement requires no
proof, since the archives of geology
verify them by preserved specimens in
the rocks, the land and caverns of the
frozen North.
What forces produced the change
from a mild to terrific region of storms
in their most ftful exhibitions of resist
less fury The polarity of the earth
must have been suddenly changed.

LOcuStS as Food.

One naturally supposes that consider
able courage was possessed by the
first person who cooked and ate a locust,
hence the theory that famine and starv-
alton, caused by the terrible ravages of
armies of locusts, first caused the insect
invaders themselves to be eaten. As
they were found to be nutritious and
not unpalatable, they came in this way
to be considered staple article of diet.
The earliest Asiatic or African history
informs US of their use as food, and they
are thus occasionally mentioned in Gre
clan annals. The Arabs and Africans now
consume them in the greatest quanti-
ties. They are gathered from the trees
where they alight, are brought down
when flying low, by making a dense
smoke. They are then roasted with
salt in an underground oven, bruised
and put away for use. For the table,
they are pulverized and made into a
pudding, or divested of their heads,
wings and legs, are boiled in water or
oil. They resemble in consistence and
flavor the yolks of hard boiled eggs, and
various English travellers agree that
they are very good eating.

How Jones Outwitted the Mosquitoes.

Old Jones has been playing sharp
game on the mosquitoes. You see, he
had a mosquito net on his bed, Lut the
persevering insects used to get inside in
the day time, and when old Jones
sought his couch to court the drowsy
god they used to make sweet music for
him, and bore holes in him, and let his
blood out, and old Jones, you under
stand, couldn't stand it all. But he is
squqre on those mosquitoes now, j ones Is.
You see, he goes to bed and leaves the
net about half open, and then the mos
quitoes, thinking they have got a soft
thing, swarm in and begin to buzz.
When he thinks they are all inside, old
Jones quietly slips out and closes up the
net tight, and there he has them. And
then he makes up nice bed on the
floor, and lays there and kicks up his
old heels, and laughs at those poor,
swindled mosquitoes, and those mosqui-
toes tear around in that net and break
their necks against the bars trying to get
out, and they hold indignation meet
ings and protest, and all that. Why,
the mosquitoes in that room look like
living skeletons, and still old Jones is
heartless enough to keep right on fool
ing those poor insects, and laughing at
them. .

A SmaII.Pox Rebellion.

A rather curious piece of intelligence
reaches us concerning the recent out
break among the natives of Chodshent,
Central Asia. The disturbance was
caused by the authorities prstecting the
people from the smallpox. Aceompa-
MED by Cossacks, the Russian surgeons
enter village after village, and inoculate
all the inhabitants with the beneficial
virus. At Chodshent the terrified ma
tives, fancying the punctures to mark
those intended to be transported to
Russia, rose up against the Cossacks,
killed two of them, and also murdered
one of their own elders who was COM
PEELED to assist at the ITO them horrible
ceremony. A Russian force being called
to disperse the rioters, two of the dis
turbers were executed, nine sent to the
Siberian mines, ten banished to the
North Pole, and several thousand fined.
Two of those banished were cruelty
maasacred by their escorts before they
had left the borders of Turkistan.

of the meaning of the word, he guessed
no compliment was intended by the
term. "Take him and one to the bat
Elements, and cast them into the moat." "
Once more Tommy found himself the
seizing on him and the hapless l, bound
them together hand and foot, and bore
them in triumph to the battlements.
They only me with one slight interrup.
ton, when a wrathful number, with a
cruel laugh, fastened to them the air
ball, the faithful companion of Toms
perilous voyage to that inhospitable
world.
Thus they proceeded in a procession
to the ramparts, when large crowd was
assembled to witness their execution.
With many taupt and jeer they toss
ed them over, but, to the astonishment
of the multitude, after sinking slowly
for some seconds, the i,ir-ball began to
take effect, and, impelled by favoring
breeze, they arose out of reach of their
tormenters.
Ere he could utter a word of thank
fulness of Joy at this unexpected 9eliv-
eronce, Tommy Spratt found himself ly-
ing in the grass under the shady tree.
the gingerbread crumbled to nothing in
his hand, and the r-ball floating serene
ly above him.
From that day Tommy Spratt became
a changed boy, remarkable especially
for two good qualities-his persevering
to arithmetic, and his unre-
mitting and tender care of No. l.
