A Petition for the Release of the
Claimant.


The sisters of Arthur Orton have sent
petition to the Home Secretary for the
release of the Claimant, which was deni'
ed by the Home Secretary. They deny
the identity oil the prisoner with Arthur
Orton, and say:
Arthur was taller when he left Eng
land at eighteen years Of age than this
gentleman was when we saw him in 1868
Arthur, when he left home in 1852, was
thin, and not likely to become stout, any
more than the rest of his brothers, who
are all thin men. Arthur, like his broth
ers, had short body and long legs and
arms; whilst this gentleman has long
body and short legs and arms. Arthur,
like his brothers, had straight legs; this
gentleman has an in-knee. Arthur, like
his brothers, had long foot with low
instep; this gentleman has short foot
with high instep. Arthur hands, like
those of his brothers, were long and
bony; this gentleman are short and
heshy. Arthur, like his brothers, had
curved back; this gentleman has hol-
low back. Arthur's eyes, like those OF
his brothers, we're light blue; this gen.
tleman's are dark. Arthur's hair was
light brown; this gentleman's is Gark
brown, as your Majesty may see by the
small lock OF each which we humbly en-
close. Arthur had no birth mark on his
side; this gentleman, it was sworn in the
trial, has such mark. Arthur had
smallpox marks on his face; this gentle
man has none. Arthur had a deep cut
or scar across his face; this gentleman
has no such cut or scar. Arthur had
his ears pierced, and he wore earrings;
this gentleman. it has been proved, has
not had his ears pierced, and he wore
ears pierced; and therefore he cannot
have worn earrings"

Night worn and bay work.

To those engaged in the work Of get

Baltimere American, the question as to

tute days work is theme in WHICH
they feel no direct interest. They must
commence work when the work is ready
for them, and not stop until it is done
The old rule of from sunrise till sun
set would be q glorious relief to them,
and as to eight hOnrs constituting a
days work, they would regard them.

The origin Of Moss.Agates.

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean. writing from the plains. says
that Professor Nudge, of Kansas, has
found where "moss-agates" come from
and knows just how to get at them. As
they are usually discovered in the loose
plains gravel, they have been supposed
to owe their present deposit to drift,
their original home having been in the
north. Professor Nudge has found, how.
ever, surprising as it seems, that they
originated in the pliocene deposits OF
Kansas. In some localities this pliocene
consists of sedimentary silicious de-
posit, formed of material varying from
coarse flint quartz chalcedony. Oxide
Of manganese, more or less crystalized
in minute moss-like sprigs, extend
through the whole stratum, which is Of
ten eight feet thick. The "agates" are
mainly found in the upper six inches,
and some of them are remarkably beauti-
full The whole mass is very interesting
to the mineralogist, as showing the SO
called "moss.agate" through the whole
process of its formation. The lower por-
ton indicates an imperfect solution
OF the silica and oxide of manganese,
but the upper few inches, where the best
specimens are found, evince the deposit
in high state of chemical development.
The moss.agate " deposits forms the
caprock of all the high hills in the vi
cinity Of Sheridan, on the Kansas Pa
ci6c railway, and also about Fort Wal
lace. In one instance Professor Nudge
found bones and portions of the tusk of
a mastodon, which, in process of FOSSIL.
zation had changed to nearly pure silica,
and in the change had become infused
with fine, springliSe crystals of black
oxide of manganese, thus presenting the
strange phenomeon of ivory actually
converted into moss agate. Some of
the specimens cannot be detected in ap-
pearance from the real gem. Professor
Nudge thinks the agency which pro-
duced this singular freak of nature must
have been similar to the action Of the
hot spring of Iceland and Yellow
stone park, the only known natural
agency that will make silica out of Or
ganic substance. The fact is a curious
one at any rate; and, while it may over
stock the moss agate market, it furnishes
the scientist revelation of rare interest
and value. Professor Marsh, of Yale, is
already giving it critical examination,
and specimens have been furnished to
other prominent gentlemen in his line of
husiness.

The Philadelphia Bulletin stands up

The Philadelphia Bulletin stands up
for theaters in the following style:
1t is alleged that, in one of his recent
sermons against the theater, Rev. Mr..
Talmage declared that he Fknew a
young man who attended the play OF
Macbeth for thirty nights, and who gave
up church attendance, his Bible and
prayer" There is something wrong in
this statement. We believe that it is
perfectly safe to say that never. since
the eye of Christopher Columbus first
rested upon the shores Of the New
World, has the play of Macbeth been
given thirty successive times in any the
ater in this country, or even thirty times
in any one city during single season.
Thus we are compelled to eoaclude either
that Mr.. Talmage has drawn this story
wholly from his Imagination, or that he
has been imposed upon by a sinful
Young man. In the former case Mr..
falnisge Is not precisely a proper per-
son to preach against theaters, aud in
the latter case the depraved young man
probably gave up reading the Bible and
praying because be did not like to give
up living and he could not carry on the
practice comfortably while religious ex-
ercises kept his conscience in sensi-
tive condition. The fact is, in short,
that Mr.. Talmage hss neither brains
enough nor information enough to enable
him to accomplish anything in the cru
SADIE that be has begun.

African and scottish Cruelty.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: AL
though the unpleasant facts observed by
Sir Samuel Baker in his wanderings on
the shores of the White Nile was one
similar to that recorded by the African
traveller Bruce, who declared to an unbe-
lieving public that the Abyssinians cut
beefsteaks from living cattle. He found
that it is the practice in a certain dis
trict to remove the humps of the native
buffaloes while the animals are still alive,
and that, the meat thus obtained being
much valued, this horrible operation is
repeated several times during the lives
of the miserable creatures. This is dis
gusting enough, aud the people guilty Of
such methods of increasing the meat
supply are, no doubt, stepped in cruelty
and bloodshed; but traveller from Un.
yoro might, had he been in Glasgow the
other day, have turned the tables on
white critics and pointed to as ugly
sight in Christian and civilized England.
Here a charge was lately proved against
an engineer of having cruelty tortured
dog by putting it into pot over a fire,
filled or partly filled with boiling water,
and allowing the animal to remain there
bowling and barking uAtil the hair, skin
and flesh were about to separate from its
bones, when it died. 1t was also stated
by witnesses that they found the defend.
ant standing looking at the poor brute
struggling in the pot, aud asking it to
give an account of itself now. We could
wish in the case of this trial that the
venue had been changed to Africa,
where, If the law had taken cognizance
of the offense at all, its majesty would
have been vindicated with hippotamus
whip instead of a fine of twenty-one
shillings or fourteen days imprison-
