Hydrate of Choral.

At the recent meeting of the Chicago
Academy of Sciences, Prof. Delafon-
tame read paper upon the action and
effect of hydrate of choral. He said it
was discovered to produce sleep i'll
1869, and had been lately used as a
medicine. 1t was first thought to act
similarly to chloroform. 1t was de-
composed by alkah into a formation,
and this process he thought took place
In the blood. He did not think the ac-
ton was the same as that of chloro-
form. Experiments recently made in
France had proven that in cases where
chloral was used, the blood discs were
not coagulated but shriveled. He and
DR.. Simeon had poisoned rabbit with
100 grains of choral administered by.
podermically in four doses. The effect
was noted within one hour, when it
commenced to lick the wall as though
wanting to get water. Then it laid
down, became sluggish, slept, and later
died. The post norton appearances
were those of asphyxia the lungs were
red, the heart empty, and the blood was
clotted as in asphyxia. A cat was
treated In the same way, and the blood
drawn from the skin it did not coagu-
late, and the discs fell to the bottom.
He thought that the mode of action of
choral was by means of poison of car
bolic oxide, which is one of the most
poisonous of substances. Carbonic
oxide kills by incapacitating the blood
corpuscles from being in the body car
riers of oxygen.

An English paper has the following /:
A striking disqualification of the saga
city of shepherds dog has just come
under notice on the farm of Higham,
near Newburgh, in Fifeshire. The dog
belongs to Mr.. John Ballingall. The
shepherd on the farm happened to lose
a pound note, and after many hours
fruitless search for the banknote it was
given up as lost. A collie pup, only
four months old, made its appearance in
the field where it was supposed the note
had been lost, and with much impor-
tunity endeavored to make himself
noticeable. The shepherd could not be
bothered with its caressings, SO grieved
was he at his loss. After being ordered
off some half-dozen times, the dog even
tually stood up on it's hind-legs, opened
its mouth, and there was the note,
folded just as it was when it went-a-
missingl With much wagging of It's
tail, the animal laid the note at the
shepherds feet. The animal was once
despised one, but now it is house
hold pet.

Keep Your Promise.


A boy borrowed tool from a car
penter, promising to return it at night.
Before evening he was sent away on an
errand, and did not return until late.
Before he went he was told that his
brother should see the article returned.
After he had come homo and gone to
bed, he inquired, and found that the
tool had not been sent to its owner.
He was much distressed to think his
promise had not been kept, but was
persuaded to go to sleep, and rise early
and carry it home the next morning.
By daylight he was up, and nowhere
was the tool to be found. After long
and fruitless search, he set off for his
neighbor's in great distress, to acknowl-
edge his fault. But how great was his
surprise to find the tool on his neigh
boris door-stood And then it appeared
from the print of his little bare feet in
the mud, that the lad had got up in his
sleep and carried the tool home, and
gone to bed again, without knowing it.
OF course boy who was prompt in
his sleep was prompt when awake. He
lived respected, had the confidence OF
his neighbors, and was placed in many
offices of trust and profit.
If all grown folk felt as this boy did,
there would be good many tracks CT
bare feet found some of these bright
mornings and what piles of tools and
books would be found at their owners

How Timber Nav be Multiplied.

One OF our exchanges has the follow
ing to say in reference to this important
subject:
Much has been written about raising
timber, but all the light that can be
shed upon the subject by all the arbori-
culturists in the land will not be amiss.
There is no want in the not distant flu
ture which has so forbidding look as
the increasing scarcity of timber. Our
forests are not producing one-twentieth
of the supply we are annually consum-
ing or are destroying. More attention
should be given to its propagation and
preservation. 1t was said by some
philosopher that he who makes two
blades of grass grow where but one
grew before is benefactor to his race.
If this be true, and none will dispute
it, how much more credit is due him
who makes landmark by the cultiva-
ton of trees? Reference to this sub
ject brings back to our recollection a
suggestion we saw some time ago in
regard to a simple mode by which tim
Der may be increased on those tracts
of land upcn which it is being cut away.
1t is as follows: Plant the ground III
the fall with acorns, black and white
walnuts, butternuts, the seeds of the
ash, etc. The nuts should be covered
lightly with the soil and decaying
leaves, so that boys and squirrels can
not fad them. They will come up in
the spring, and if cattle are kent out of
the woods-as they should be by all
who would preserve the young trees
they will make rapid growth under
the immediate superintendent of Dame
Nature herself, who has been pretty
successfully engaged in the business of
tree culture, more or less, ever since
the Silurian age. In the same way
cuttings may be put out in the timber
in the spring. The mulching of the
ground by the falling of the autumn
leaves is the best dressing that can be
pat around such young trees, which, in
year or SO, will surprise you with
their rapid growth. We would discour-
age nc one who can do SO from
planting out groves on the prairies,
which is one of the best works farmer
can do; but these hints carried out
will enable many to utilize places now
going to waste, and get good return
for their efforts.

A Self.PropelliHg Fire Engine.

At Chicago, recently, self-propel-
ling fire engine was tested in the pres
ence of the Fire Marshal, Police Com
missioners and number of Aldermen,
with the following result: With 500
feet of hose, II inch nozzle, 234 feet;
with 500 feet of hose, II inch nozzle,
DOT feet; with $50 feet of hose, II inch
nozzle, 210 feet.
The engine, as its name indicates,
does away entirely with the use of
horses, audit is this feature alone which
makes it novelty, as in all other re-
spects it is precisely similar to other
engines manufactured by the same COM
pany. The wheels are connected by
means of an endless chain which runs
from the main shaft of the engine to q
grooved wheel on the hind axle, thereby
producing the motion. In winter, when
the streets are slippery, the tires of the
wheels are studded with heavy bolts,
which allow a sufficient traction to be
obtained. The machine is steered from
the front, in much the same manner as
hook and ladder truck. Its weight is
5000 pounds. A trial of its speed
showed it to be capable of making q
mile in four minutes and five seconds.

A Murderer's Confession.

On the 29th of October Joseph Rob-
bins, bridge Waterman at Kaskia
river, on the Vandalia railroad, in Illi-
nois, was murdered. Nathan Burgess,
a neighbor of Robbins, YVES arrested by
the officials of Fayette county, and the
evidence against him was so strong that
he has made the following confession
in open court:
"I knew the Vandalia, the pay car,
had passed that afternoon, and had
paid Robbins his months wages. 1 got
that shot gun and went to the bridge.
As I approached the watch-house I saw
through the window Robbins sitting in
side. His shoulders and head only
could be seen. I raised the gun and
fred. I then hesitated few minutes
to listen if the report of the gun had
aroused any one. Ithen went up to the
watch-house door and found Robbins on
his knees praying. Iplainly heard him
say: ooh, God, have mercy on the
one who did this Spare him for Jesus
saker was Mortified, and turned and
ran. / did not know where. / did not
enter the house nor touch the door,
His words haunt me STILL"
The sum of money for which Rob-
bins was murdered was S31. so. There
is great excitement in Fayette county
and threats of lynching Burgess.

Ohio River Pirates.

| Hard times are upon us now, and II
seems the tighter money matters be-
come the more crime and general devil.
try there is among that class of people
who make their living off of others.
1t is said that an organization of des.
peradoes are industriously at work
along the river from West Point to
Greensboro, and, though no very serious
damage has been done until recently, a
number of instances have been pointed
out where the citizens living near the
river have lost goods, money, poultry
and many other small things. The rob-
bers are in small bands, and scattered
along the river at distances from five to
ten miles apart, and report to head
quarters at short intervals. From two
citizens of Stephensport, who came up
on the steamer John S. Bransford to-
day. we learn of the capture OF band
of robbers, or river pirates, near
Stephensport, Ky, on Thursday night.
1t appears that one band of the despera-
does, or river pirates, about ten in num-
Der, including women, have been float
ing down the river from Louisville, in a
small trading boat, robbing the people
on both shores, and defying arrest.
They were thoroughly armed with six
teen. shooters-Henry rifes-and gener-
ally anchored out In the river. At
night they would go ashore and rob
farm-houses of provisions, poultry and
such other articles as they could get
away with. They robbed store in Am
sterdam of about 800 worth of goods.
They invaded the farm ofawidow woman
in daylight, and robbed her of turkeys,
chickens and other property. They
had become the terror of the upper
coast, and the citizens armed them
selves for protection, and tried to OBJ
tain a cannon, with which to blow the
piratical craft out of the water. They
robbed an old man named Davis, OPP
posite Concordia, of all the provisions
he had, and he was compelled to kill a
hog before his family could breakfast.
On Thursday posse of twenty-five or
thirty men slipped upon them and cap
tured nine of the party, and there were
apprehensions that they would fare
rough.
OF this gang there were four men,
three women, and two children, and
near by in the woods, near Roberts
Landing, was found lot of burglars
tools, keys, and complete gunsmith's
shop. In attempting to make their es-
cape one of the men was shot in the
arm and boy wounded in the foot, by
the discharge of gun. The boy beg
ged piteously, and said he would d.
vulge and tell the whole story if his
life was spared. The captured party
was placed in safe keeping, and are to
be tried to-day. The men had on red
shirts, and one of them was particularly
shrewd and made rather progresses
ing appearance.
The news soon spread over the whole
neighborhood, and the widest excite
ment prevails. Threats of lynching are
freely made, and we would not be sur
prised to hear of the men of the gang
pulling hemp.-NeO Albany (Lnd.)

JEN AND JOE.

1t really don't seem long ago,
Since you were Jen and was Joe,
But forty years have passed and gone,
Since we commenced to trudge along
Yes, forty years of welded life,
Since You became my happy wife;
But now they call me Uncle Joe,
And you have changed to Aunt Jennette,
But still never will forget
When you we're belle and was beau.
Alb, yes, it's very long ago,
Since our young love commenced to grow,
And DER our heads the years have rolled,
AID people call us rather old;
I'm sure &c don't seem so to me,
You're sixty-one, I'm sixty-three-
1t really don't seem if twas so.
But when the children pass us by,
They always say bout you aud 1,
There's Aunt Jennette and Uncle Joei
All, well, God will soon cali us home,
and then in heaven we shall roam.
Ard wife, perhaps it will be so,
You'll look ike Jen, I'll look like Joe.
Then we'll commence our love once more,
As happy as in days Of yore,
For those were happy days you know
And sweet and joyful it will be,
To live throughout eternity,
As bonnie Jen and loving Joe.

gentleman who has much experience in
catching oysters, and who for years has
been familiar with every oyster ground

that never did fit well, but which it
would be shame to put away-don't for
a moment imagine that they do not see
it. If you have an ugly and easy way of
doing up your hair, keep it for another
occasion. 1t will pass better with young
Poodle, who may take it for the new

out of the window. He hung down his
head, and all the fingers pointed them

trial. OF course they could do it easy
enough altogether but they scrambled
this way and that, twisted and twirled,
bumped and jumped, and got so much
mixed up with it that they hardly knew
themselves.
"Now," said Middle to Fore, "you
must turn yourself around and we can
do it."
"But 1 can't turn" said Fore,
"you must do that.
at can't, sure"
"Then we will have to give it up, if
Thumb does laugh at u.s."
-Four sound fingers, and all together
you can't pick up pin," I exclaimed.
"Now try il one at time with Thumb. J"
With Thumbs aid any finger could pick
it up.
"Now." said I, "stand up all in a
row, for I must give you lecture"
Up they stood, looking very sheepish,
and 1 said:
"You are neither of you worth a
straw alone. In almost everything two
of you must work together, and in some
cases it takes all to do what is necessa-
nv. Your usefulness and happiness de-
pend upon helping one another. How
silly and mean it is for you to quarrel.
1t is cutting your own head of. And
there are some boys and girls just like
you, always annoying and hating
the very persons who help them, and
whose help they could do meth
ing. Sometimes they think themselves
of others, when really they
cannot do some simple thing without
them any more than one of you could
pick up a pin alone. Chicago Stand
