BILLS INTRODUCED.

Assembly Bill No. 2, introduced by
Mr.. Grey into the Assembly, defines
the crimes of murder in the first and
second degree respectively, and proceeds
to declare that Malice shall be inferred
when no considerable provocation APP
pear, or where all the circumstances of
the killing show an abandoned and ma
lignant heart, all murder which shall be
perpetrated by means of poison or by
lying in wait, torture, or by any other
kind of willful, deliberate, premeiitated
killing, or in an attempt to perpetrate
any arson, rape, robbery or burglary,
shall be deemed murder of the first de-
gree, and all other kinds Of murder shall
be deemed murder in the second degree,
and the jury before whom any person
indicted for murder shall be tried. shall,
if they find such person guilty thereof,
designate by their verdict whether it be
murder of the first or second degree,
and if such person shall be convicted
on confession in open Court, the Court
shall proceed by examination of witnesses
to determine the degree of the crime and
give sentence accordingly. Every per-
son convicted of murder in the first de.
gree shall be punished by confinement
in the Srate Prison for life at hard labor
and every one convicted of murder in the
second degree shall be punished by con-
hnement in the State Prison for the
term not more than fifty years nor less
than ten" 1t will be seen that the bill
abolishes capital punishment, substitut-
ing imprisonment. Much has been
written OF late on the subject of abolish
ing capital punishment, and the question
which concerns the Legislature, the press
and the people, is whether the ends of
justice and the public good can thus
be met We are constrained to answer
IN the negative. Suppose case: A
man breakes into u house for the pur-
pose OF robbery; to be caught in the act
subjects him to imprisonment while the
killing of his victim subjects him to the
death penalty. Therefore he would
spare life, and run the chance of impris-
onment, fearing to commit the greater
crime, lest he suffer death. But change
the punishment for murder from death
to Imprisonment, and it will be found
that in all cases where felony is COM
mitted the luckless witness will be GER
tain to be cut off, the violator of the law
arguing that it is only imprisonment at
best, and remembering the pirat's motto:
dead men tell no tales" The abolition
OF capital punishment is hazardous ex-
pertinent. We hope Mr.. Grey's bill will
not be passed.
Mr.. Crawford has introduced in the
Assembly bill to extend the State
Printers term Of Office from two to four
years. This is a good measure, and
against its enactment We can see no
valid objection.

In the first article we spoke of plants as
the sole producers of food for animals we
will now consider relation that is some
what reciprocal. AS We are not writing
exclusively for scholars we shall try to ex-
plain such terms as it may be necessary to
employ
We shall use the terms oxygen and car
bonc acid, or carbonc di-OXide for it is
not an acid in the popular sense.
Oxygen is the active principle of the air
which we breath, to us it is the vital prn-
ciple. Carbonic di-oxide &C. o. is COM
pound of carbon and OXYGEN and carbon
is the name of an element that exists in
abundance in the mineral crust of the globe
and enters largely into the composition of
every living thing. The form of carbon
most familiar to us is charcoal it consti-
tutes the bulk of woody fiber, and more
than one third of the nourishment of the
plant lit burning of wood is stopped
before the carbon is consumed, as it is
done in coal-pit, we shall see how much
| of plant is carbon. The charcoal is not
quite all carbon, for when this is burned
reHill remain some earthly matter called
ashes.
Carbon is insoluble, that is, it cannot be
dissolved in any fluid therefore the plant
cannot feed upon pure carbon. 1t must
first be changed to carbonic acid. When
ever wood or coal is burned ''to ashes" the
carbon is freed and unites with oxygen,
making carbonic di-oxide. The same
thing takes place whenever any living
thing decays.
When we breathe some of the carbon of
the system unites with the oxygen of the
air and forms carbonic di-oXide. During
| twenty-four hours one man will use in
breathing about $50 cubic feet of air and
breathe out 10 cubic feet, or over 100 gal
Ions of carbonic acid and in one hour he
will render about 500 cubic feet of air unfit
to breathe again. Even lamp will make
the air of close room impure and poi
sonous. Thus in many ways this carboni6
acid is made in immense quantities, anc
when it accumulates in the air, the air be
comes unfit for man or beast. Pure car
bonic acid will suffOcate man at once
One can get some idea of its effects by sit
ting in a close school-room, hall or church
But plants live upon carbonic acid they
assmilate it and from il manufacture tn
carbon essential to their structure ant
growth. We shall now see how wisely
is ordered that plants should use thi
element that makes the air impure and Civ
back the needed oxygen for animals.
Some of this carbonic acid is washed ou
of the air by the falling rain and reache
the plant through the roots, but most OF
enters the leaves which are spread out :
receive it, and then is made into nourisl
ment for the plant AS fast as carboni

THE RECENT LYNoHING IN INDIANA
The lynching of Delos Heffren at Salem,
Ind, has been followed by great excite
ment among his friends, of whom he had
great number, and they have vowed eternal
vengeance against those who did the deed.
The last hanging that took place in that
vicinity was in 1870. That, too, was a
lynching and two men who had not muir
dered, but merely robbed, were the victims
of it but in Heffren's case, though there
was not the slightest excuse for the mob,
it was easier to account for their lawless-
ness. IIeffren was about 40 years old,
fine looking and powerfully built, and a
man of considerable talent. In 1860 he
was deputy secretary of state, under his
uncle, Judge Cyrus L. Dunham, and when
the war broke out he became an officer in
the army His mother, two sisters and a
brother, Col. Horace Heffren, are still liv-
ing. His eldest sister is remarkably beau
tiful and accomplished woman. A younger
brother dropped dead, some years ago,
near the spot where the lynching was done.
Heffren was man of strong passions. and
DR.. Halstead was the second person he
had murdered Several years ago he killed
man named johnson, but, for some rea-
son not known, the jury who tried him
gave verdict of acquittal. They had no
sooner done so than they went to the pris-
oner's box, carried him on their shoulders
to saloon hard by. and drank his health
and long life. Eight months after, Heffren
married the widow of the murdered John
son. In the past few years he has kept a
drinking house, and his habits have been
very bad. He has been very popular also
among certain suspicious class, and as
his influence was for violence, many law
less deeds were committed for which he
was directly or indirectly responsible, but
his taking-off was a sad commentary or
Indiana justice.

hhe supposed Murderer of Charles
Goodrich Arrested.

Amy Stone, alias Kate Stoddard has
been arrested by the Brooklyn police onthe
charge of numbering Charles Goodrich.
She was taken into custody at the Fulton
Ferry gateway on the Brooklyn side, and
was locked up last night in the York street
police station. The police had been search
ing for her for many weeks past, and fol-
lowing her from one place to another. It
is supposed that she was hidden the most
of the time in Jersey City and Philadelphia.
She visited New York several times and on
one or two occasions narrowly escaped be-
ing taken before night
The detectives claim to have in their
possession facts forming chain of evidence
duplicating her in the murder of Charles
Goodrich. The inquest in the case which
was never concluded, but was left over
for further investigation, will be resumed
this week. Thus it seems there is some
hope of at last solving the mystery attend
ing the crime which has caused intense
excitement in this community. The
Brooklyn police are very reticent, and it is
impossible as yet for the reporters to get
many of the particulars in regard to the ar
rest or the evidence to he produced against
the prisoner.

next fourteen days, but so it was We
cannot tell what our own danger, as a
State, may be, but we are equally interested
in the dangers that assail other portions of
the country. Public sentiment seems to
have been concentrated in one particular
direction, regardless of other, and, perhaps,
graver dangers Eternal vigilance is the
price of an assured safety from lawless-
ness, as well as the price of liberty. The
revival of this terrible custom of dueling is
fraught, in our opinion, with more danger
to the country than is to be apprehended
from any other cause.

The Park Art Gallery.
CIRCULAR FROM THE TRUSTEES

Nlktll.AR fKOM Ilik lRlSlEEH.
1t has for some years been a favorte pro-
ject of few art loving friends of the Uni
versity to establish, as one of its means of
instruction and culture, gallery of the
fine arts. To those who know what the
Institution has long been doing in the way
of art culture, this will be no surprise. 1t
is matter of just pride to the graduates of
the University, and it deserves more public
recognition that il has hitherto received,
that this Institution was the first in the
country to introduce into its course of
study systematic instruction by lectures on
the theory and principles of the fine arts.
The lectures by Prof. Torrey, beginning az
far back as 1880, anticipated by many
years not only what, under the name of
aesthetics or high art, has now become d
recognized department of liberal education
in all high institutions of learning, but
also those principles of art criticism
which have since been made familiar by
European and American writers on the
fine arts. The results of this instruction
are manifest in the high-toned art
spirit manifest in those upon whom
the culture of the University has had its
best effects. This may explain and justify
the conception of an enterprise which
might otherwise appear somewhat ambl-
tious for an institution of such limited re-
sources. By the llberality of Trenor W.
Park, Esq, of Bennington, that which has
long been dream, or at most hope, is
soon to be an accomplished fact Mr.. Park
has offered to assume the expense of add
ing to the library building third story
which will greatly increase the architecture
al beauty of the building itself, and Will
give us gallery fifty-one feet long by
thirty-one feet wide and fifteen feet high,
lighted from the roof, easily accessible, and
every way admirably adapted to its pur-
pose. 1t is the wish of Mr.. Park, and in
deed of all interested. that the gallery
should at all proper times be open to the
public as well as to the college communl
ty.
we have also promises from gentlemen
of wealth and taste, that they will MAXI
contributions of paintings and Others works
OF art to be the nucleus of the collection
We are well aware that for the present thu
gallery must be very moderate one IL
point of size, but who can compute TIN
value to the University and the public, o
even small gallery, provided the work
are of a high order of merit. For tw'
things IRE to be borne in mind, first, tina

DiabOIIcaI Attempt to Wreck IA
Train,
THE rrrsDs rnw4nTrD pr-A WOMAN.

TIE FIKNDs THwARTED BY WOMAN. S..
One of the most murderous attempts at
wrecking train and at a murder besides,
that has ever occurred in this country, took
place near Suncook, N. H., on Tuesday
evening last. Just before the Boston ex-
press train for Concord was due, about
eight o'clock, woman came into Suncook
depot eXclaiming "The train they are 60
ing to throw the train from the track :"
Her frightful words and wild appearance
at first betokened insanity, but soon by her
earnest manner the confidence of those
present was enlisted and Immediately men
were sent to warn the engineer of the COM
ing express that always stops there. The
train soon arrived, the proper warning Civ
en-, and the train moved cautiously on to-
ward Concord. When about one mile be-
low Suncook the reported distractions
were encountered in a pile of sleepers
placed upon the track. The spot was one
where the train always runs at great speed,
and if thrown off it would have gone down
a steep embankment into the river
The woman told her story, which was
that early in the evening, while going along
the railroad track near Suncook village,
she noticed two men pling sleepers onto
the track, and on coming up to them one
asked her where she was going She said
''to SuncoOk, please let me pass" The
man replied mo, you shall never go to
Suncook, tell ye that" and at the same
time catching hold of her, throwing her
down and choking her till life seemed ex-
tinct, when the men threw her into the
bushes and soon went away. The woman,
as soon as she recovered consciousness,
crawled on to the track and run to the
station.
Prompt measures are being taken to ar
rest the men, whom the woman remembers
distinctly, and it is expected they will be
found
