4 pRncocrous cR1M1NAL.

It's not very often that we hear
Of a boy Of fifteen being sent to
State prison for life, or even Of one
so matured in crime as to deserve
sucha fate. 1t was reserved for Little
Valley, Cattaraugus county, to pro-
duce such moral monstrosity. AT
that place yesterday, VIM. Boorne,
aged fifteen, was sentenced to Au-
burn State Prison for life. His ef-
Tense was the murder of his step
father, Caleb Omans, whom, in Jan
uary last, he literally cut to pieces
with an axe at place called Steam-
burg. Both the murderer and his
victim were intoxicated at the time.
Whether that TACT operated favora-
bly, to the acceptance of a plea Of
murder in the second degree, does
not appear, but it Is probable that
the same absurd view Of the case, in
this particular, was taken that has
been taken Of many others. This
boy received his sentence with an
Indifference becoming one who had
vanIted to the front rank Of murder
ers at bound, and, wifi perhaps q
single exception, no better DISPOSE
ton could have been made Of him.

Marietta, Georgia, June &c, 1874,
HOW YOU COUNT TWO BILLIONS
AND a HALF.

There is something wonderful il
figures; and numbers, when care,
fully considered, startle us by then
immensely. We talk of millions
aud billions with little thought of the
vastness of the sums we name. The
lips may utter the words glibly, bu,
the understandings fail to grasp the
real significance. Take our own
national debt as an illustration. =
Everybody knows it is large, but
few have ever stopped to consider
its appalling magnitude. A few
calculations will not be uninterest-
ing.
Let us suppose that the national
debt 10, in round numbers, 50, $780,
100000. Ifan experienced cashier
were to commence counting this at
the rate of three silver dollars per
second, and work diligently eight
hours per day, three hundred days
in the year; it would take him about
three years to complete the count.
If the silver dollars were placed
side by side, touching each other,
they would reach nearly three times
round the world they would pave
highway the width Of our Chicago
streets more than two hundred miles
in length.
Fused into one solid mass of pure
silver, they, would make a column
ten feet square and two thousand
FIVE hundred feet high, or bar fifty
miles long and one foot square.
Ifeach silver dollar be estimated
at one ounce in weight, and the
money loaded into carts containing
one ton each, and driven one before
the other, each horse and cart occu-
plying two rods, the procession would
extend five hundred miles.
Or consider that only about L.
O0O,00O,000 minutes have elapsed
since the birth of Christ, and that if
onedollar had been put away each
minute, day and night, since that
event, the accumulation would
amount to but little more than one
third Of the debt this nation now
owes. If this celebration was APP
piled to England or France, whose
national debt is nearly twice as large
as ours, the result would be still
more startling.

Dip the Mississippi dry with .

Snowman, is hoaxed but he was
not long since taken in, and that in
very amusing way. Mr.. Tourgie,
Of Susquehannah county, Pennsyl
vania, Is the fortunate possessor Of a.
nasal organ Of unusual size. One OF
his friends wrote to Barnum that
Mr.. Tourgie had a nose seven inch
er in length. Barnum Immediately
wrote to Tourgie TO come to New
York, and he would pay his ex-
penses. 1ourgie went. Barnum
took one look at him, inquired what
his expenses were, and handed him
the money, with the certainty that
he had been the victim Of a joke.
Tourgie saw the sights Of the city,
and went back home, wondering il
all showmen were as liberal as Bar
nam. To this day he knows not
why Barnum invited him to New
York, and the man that wrote the
letter will not tell.
