1t was my turn to scream then, for l

Mrs. Jackspratt, cried "only spare

What's that ?" cried my wife, run

"Ha ! isn't it burglar p asked my
powerful antagonist, holding his cane

" Well" said Uncle Tom Blogstar,

The next day I remained at home,

The Terror Of Hungary,

sixty years-he is now an old manShas

probably committed more terrible
crimes than any other living being, is

chosen vocation as leaders of gangs of
highway robbers. Strange to say, the
authorities never confscated the prop
erty accumulated BY the family; and
after the execution of his father, young
Rosza Sandor, who was then not vet
twenty years old, inherited from him an
estate large enough to enable him to
live in luxury and ease.
But, whether it was in the blood of
the family, or pride of his ancestors,
whom the opinion of the common peo-
pie had surrounded with sort of ro-
mantle and almost legendary halo, the
youth scorned the idea of leading life
of luxurious ease, and he unhesitating1y
stepped into the shoes of his advent1r
GUS ancestors.
In year or two after the death of his
father, Rosza Sandor was already at the
head of q large gang of mounted BAN
dts, and his name has Become q house.
hold word throughout Central Hungary.
Murders without number were COM
mitted, but the authorities at length
succeeded in capturing Rosza. The
authorities ordered that all the accom-
plices of Rosza Sandor should be Sc
verely fogged until they would confess
what peasants and denizens of towns
and cities had helped them in their
crimes. In this manner they obtained
the names of four and five hundred per-
sons, who were fogged in turn, when
most of them added further names to
the list of the implicated
Rosza Sandor himself was not at first
fogged, but only threatened with the
lash, in the hope that, being q proud
man, he would rather make a clean
breast of everything than to submit to
that indignity. But he stubbornly re-
fused to make any confession whatever
Finally, however, Count Raday wrested
a confession from him by means of
curious ruse. He sent for Rosza San
dor, and asked him to kneel down. The
prisoner did so. The next moment five
of his principal accomplices were
brought in. Upon seeing their former
chieftain on his knees, and believing his
courage had forsaken him and that he
was confessing, they turned upon him
in scorn and called him a chicken theft
and other vile epithets, which so en-
ragged him that he hurled the insults
back upon them, and in revenge for
their treatment of him he made fnll
confession, duplicating some of the
most prominent citizens and officials,
jr rdges, police and others, ali
of whom have been put upon their trial
with Sander and his gang.

The Brook,

Up in wild, where few men come to look.
There lives and sings little lonely brook;
Llyeth and singeth in the dreary vines,
Aet creepeth ON to where the daylight Shines
Pure from their heaven, in mountain chalce
caught
1t drinks the rain, as drinks the soul her hougbt
And down dim hollows where it winds along,
Pours its life-burdens Of unlistened song.
catch the murmur of its undertone,
That slgheth ceaselessly, alone alone
And hear afar the rivers gloriously
Shout on their paths toward the shining sea.
The yoiceful rivers chanting to the sun,
And wearing names of honor, every one:
outreaching wide, and joining hand with hand
To pour great gifts along the asking land.
All! lonely brook Creep onward through the
pines,
Press through the gloom to where the daylight
shines.
sing on among the stones. and secretly
Feel how the floods are all akin to thee
Drink the sweetrain the gentle heaven sendetb
Hold thy own path, howeverward It tendeth:
For somewhere, underneath the eternal skv
Thou, too, shall find the rivers, by-and-by!

Pork Statistics.

A second preliminary report of the
pork packing of the West has been
made. 1t embraces detailed returns
from ninety-eight packing points, COM
prising nearly all important packing
towns in the West and South, much in
formation having been received by tele-
graph within the past forty eight hours.
These places up to the date of making
their respective reports had packed
1,523, ,354 hogs. The number estimated
yet to be packed at these points is
443, 800, making total of 1867, ,154.
Last year the same places packed
l,800, $40, showing an increase in the
aggregate over last year of 1861 sos, or
81 per cent. The places not heard from
packed last year 521, ,0S3. A correspond
ing increase in these places would
make an increase in the whole West,
outside of Cincinnati, Chicago, ST..
Louis, and Louisville, of 205, ,567.
The report estimates to the 22nd inst.
the aggregate packing of Cincinnati,
Chicago, st. Louis, and Louisville to be
2,310, ,421 hogs as compared with
1850, I'll for the whole season last year.
The returns in relation to weight are
not so full. The returns with reference
to weight made on 1, 145, 900 hogs show
an average increase in weight over last
year of 10 5-100 pounds per head. OF
62 points reporting on weight 43 are
heavier, Il about the same and are
lighter Six hundred and ninety-two
thousand hogs reported as to lard show
an average increase per head from leaf
and trimmings of 1-15 potnds. OF 50
places reporting on lard 25 are heavier,
10 about the same and lighter.

Singular Wills.

A German, troubled how to dispose
of his money, bequeathed it to man
whom he detested, upon the condition
that he always wore thin, white linen
clothes without any underclothing.
A Mr.. Sergeant, of Leicester, Eng
land, sought to improve the habits Of
his bed-loving nephews by putting the
following clause in his will: GAS my
nephews are fond of indulging them
selves in bed in the morning, and as I
wish them to prove to the satisfaction
of my executors, that they have got out
of bed in the morning, and either en-
ployed themselves in business or taking
exercise in the open air from five to
eight o'clock every morning from the
second of April to the tenth of October
being three hours 'each day-and
from the tenth of October to the fifth
of April, being two hours every morn
ing.
"This is to be done for seven years.
to the satisfaction of my executors, who
may excuse them in case of illness but
the test must be made up when they
are well, and if they will not do this,
they shall not receive any share of my
property" 1t was very hard on the
poor nephews, but as the amount at
stake was quite large they had to do it.

ATMOSPHERIC INFLUENCES ON LUNAey

ATMOSPHERIC INFLUENCES ON LUNAeY.
A very interesting paper on the me-
teorological facts of insanity appears in
connection with the recent annual re-
port of the Brighton (Eng.) Lunatic
Asylum. According to this report there
is very little difference to be discovered
in patients fits between the average
number of those on which the moons
changes occur, and for the days COM
posing the rest Of the month, and what
little difference there is is in favor of
the days on which no such change oc-
ours. An examination, however, of
more than 200 accessions of fits showed
that, with five exceptions, they were
preceded or accompanied by considera-
BILE alteration in atmospheric pressure
or solar radiation, or both. The legit-
innate inference, therefore, after all, is,
that it is not the moon which directly
affects the epileptic patients, but the
change of weather; and that it is the
coincidence, which not unfrequently
occurs of change of weather with q
change of moon, which has led the
popular mind into the notion of the
moon affecting both the weather and
epileptics,
