Crazy and i'm Love.

Philip Standermann, who shot and
killed Louisa Sidenbaum in Chatham
street, New York, on the evening of the
10Th of April, was put on trial last week.
and the fact that the plea of insanity was
getting a jury. Ihree-fourths of the
panel summoned stated that they had OBJ
jections against insanity as plea in trials
for murder, and one of the number said
that one kind of insanity begins an in
slant before a murder and ends an in
slant after it. When Standermann was
called TO plead he looked more like an
idiot than a lunatic. He had q shoe shop
in Chatham street before his crime. Miss
Sidenbaum lived III City Hall place. He
sought the girls hand in marriage but
when he talked with her parents about it
they plainly told him that such a mar
riage was impossible. The girl was young,
pretty, educated, and i'll all ways, socially
and mentally, far above him. The rest
of the story was told by the witnesses for
the prosecution. Isaac j. Brown testi-
fled that, on the evening of April 10,
1875, he started with Miss Sidenbaum
and Miss Annie Thomas to go to Ger
man festival. They waited in Chatham
street for car and as he stepped off
the sidewalk to see whether a car was
coming, he was startled by the flash and
report of pistol. He turned back, and
saw the prisoner holding pistol close to
Miss Sidenbaum's face. Policeman Nal
10y described the capture of Stander-
mann, which was effected within block
of the place of the shooting, and said
that, when the prisoner was asked III the
police station why he had done the deed,
he answered, "She fooled me. She
wouldn't marry me, and so / shot her.
Ludwig Fealk testified that, "A year before
the murder, Standermann said to him, I
asked Mr. Sidenbaum to let me marry his
daughter, and he refused. l swore l
would have revenge. I will have her, or
her life" The jury, after hearing all the
evidence, brought in a verdict of guilty,
and the prisoner was sentenced to be
hanged on the 10th of December, the
Judge, in passing the sentence, charac-
terizing the plea set up by the defense.
insanity, excited by passion"-as a
"fiimsy pretext.

The Arctic Expedition.

Scarcely has the news come to us of
Stanley remarkable explorations around
the great Lake Victoria Niyanza, directly
under the burning equator, before al
most equally interesting news comes
from the frozen Arctic regions, by the
return of the little British vessel, the
Pandora, which left England three
months ago to try to make the Northwest
Passage from Baffin's Bay to Behring's s
Straits, discovered by Sir John Franklin
a quarter of a century ago, the attempt
to follow which cost him his life. The
record of this little vessel, of the dangers
which she encountered and the manner
III which she escaped them, reads almost
like fiction. Although she was constant
ly among the ice-6oes and exposed to
danger, she met with no mishaps, made
her passage with remarkable swiftness,
and returned i'll safety to England. The
object of her commander was not TO reach
the highest possible northern latitude,
but TO make the Northwest Passage, and
this object he would probably have ac-
complished had he not found his further
progress effectually stopped by solid
wall of ice across Bellot Strait, mt the
very point where McClintock, his Old
commander, was stopped Mt the time he
discovered the Franklin relics. He took
the same route as McClintock, crossing
Melville Bay in safety after leav-
ing Upernavik. Thence he en-
tered Lancaster Sound, visited
Beechy Island, where Ross i'll
fated vessel was lost twenty-five years
ago, thence sailed through Peel Sound,
and kept on to Bellot Strait, where he
found the impossible icy barrier which
induced him to return to England rather
than winter there Although foiled in
his attempt to make the Northern Pas
sage, he penetrated to the south along
the coast of Prince of Wales Land fur
ther than McClintock had done, and
even reached King Williams Land,
where no vessel but Franklin's has ever
been before. The details of the voyage,
therefore, will be looked for with great
interest, and may perhaps throw some
further light upon the fate of Franklin.
The indirect results of the expedition are
even more interesting than the direct,
since the Captain of the Pandora was
successful in finding letters at spot
previously decided upon from the other
two English vessels, the Alert and Dis
covery, which are in quest of the open
Polar Sea. The news from them is
highly encouraging. The two vessels
arrived ut the Carey Islands July 27, and
then left for Smiths Sound. They left
Upensk July % and Cape York July 25.
The best news from them is that the sea-
son was an open one, and that all were
well, so that if nothing adverse has over
taken them they are now far on their
way to the North Pole. The great Polar
mystery, therefore, may yet be solved by
these daring English navigators.

Free Versus Slave Labor.

George w. Adair. of Atlanta, says
Before the war kept four negroes on
my lot-Wash., man-Of ail-wOrk,
valued at 81 800; Sarah, No. cook,
81, 400; Harriet, n house-girl, 81, 200 !;
and Nancy, nurse, 5000. The legal
interest (seven per cent. on the value
of these slaves was $3.50 per annum, and
] had TO feed clothe, pay doctors bills,
etc. Now have the same service per-
formed at $500 per annum. feed these
hired servants, but furnish no clothing
nor pay doctors bills, and get the same
service per month Tor less than when |
owned slaves, and if they die | lose
nothing. Now, when L acquire my
capital can put it in other property, in
stead of locking it up III slaves. This, l
think, illustrates the whole question
The landowner can avail himself OF
negro labor to-day at less cost than when
he had to pay for the slave and take
care of him. This labor cannot be con-
trolled so absolutely as slave labor, and
more or less irregularities grow out of
it still it is available and susceptible of
being used to great profit by the land
owner. Planters who owned slaves,
who now remain upon their land and
give personal attention to their crops,
can make more clear money from the
soil than under the old system. The
South is becoming every year more
familiar with free labor, aud under
stands better how TO manage it. She is
becoming more self-reliaut and self-sus-
tanning. 10 uisUiYc COtrier-JourRGi.

THE PARADOX OF TIME

Time goes, you ay?-Ah no!
Alas, time stays-we go;
Or else, were this not so,
What need to chain the hours,
For youth were always ours?
Time goes, you say ?-Ah no!
Ours is the eyes deceit
OF men whose flying feet
Lead through some landscape. low;
We pass, and think we see
The earth's fixed surface fee;
Alas, time stays-we go!
Once, in the days of old.
Your locks were curling gold,
And mine had shamed the crowi;
Now in the self-same stage,
We've reached the silver age;
Time goes, you say?-Ah no!
Once when my voice was strong,
/ filled the woods with song,
To praise your "rose and "snoW
My bird, that sung, is dead;
Where are your roses fled?
Alas, time stays-we go.
See, in what traversed ways,
Mat backward fate delays
The hopes we used 10 know;
Where are our old desires
All. where those vanished fires?
Time goes, you say?-Ah no!
How far. how far, o Sweet,
The past behind out feet
Lies in the eyen-glow
Now, on the forward way,
Let us fold hands and pray;
Alas. time stays-we 20!

THE VISIBLE PLANETS.
Their Positions, Appearances and Move.
ments at the Present Time.
MERCURY

MERCURY
is now rapidly approaching the sun,
and will soon become invisible. The
planet can be distinguished from fixed
star only by it's bright red color and the
huctuating light which seems to be pc
culiar to this planet. When near the
horizon it generally keeps up continu-
Gus twinkliug," not unlike that OF the
stellar orbs. Several eminent astrono-
mers never saw this planet, and Copper
nicus himself is said TO have lamented In
his dying moments that he was never
able to obtain a glimpse at Mercury.
For many evenings the planet Mercury
may be seen after sunset in the western
heavens, low down toward the horizon.
VENUS,
which has been visible in our morning
sky for several months past, will soon
make her appearance as an evening
star" On Thursday, Sept. %, Venus
was situated in her superior conjunction
with the sun. This planet is now grad
ually receding from that luminary to-
ward the east, and will soon present a
magnificent appearance in our evening
twilight.
Is now the most conspicuous planet in
the heavens. About 8 o'clock In the
evening he may be seen upon the south
ern heavens in the beautiful constella-
ton Sagittarius His motion is toward
the east or direct, and he may be easily
recognized by the reddish light with
which he shines. Mars is now plainly
visible throughout the entire night.
JUPITER.
The "giant planet" Jupiter is at
present very unfavorably situated for
observation. Friday, November 9th,
Jupiter will be situated in conjunction
with the sun, after which he will become
visible upon orr eastern sky as Il ''morn-
ing star.
SATURN.
What has been said of Mars will APP
ply to the planet Saturn, as they are sit
uated only short distance from each
other, Saturn being in Capricornus, the
next constellation east from Sagittarius.
Saturn shines with pale white light,
and will not be mistaken for fixed star.
The rings of Saturn may be perceived
through an ordinary astronomical tele-
scope.
is now in the constellation of Leo, in
good position for telescope observation,
but cannot be perceived by the naked
eye unless its exact situation is known.
When seen through an instrument Of
sufficient power the planet viii show a
sensible disc. It shines like a star of
the sixth magnitude, with pale blue
light.
NEPTUNE.
This far off sentinel of the planetary
system cannot be seen with the naked
eye. Even by using good telescopes no
observations can be made on
this planet at present. It appears as a
star of the eighth magnitude, and one
can recognize this orb only by detecting
its motion, which is very slow.

such authority as l can find, and do not
feel disposed to question its appropri,
ateness but upon one point all must
agree, and that is the strangeness and
the beauty of this natural pillar, that has
stood solitary watch over this distant
plain for hundreds of centuries, Drawing
a million wintry blasts, and defying the
gnawing of seas, to be seen at last and
admired by civilized mankind.

Annexation Of New Guinea.

Early in the sixteenth century the
Portuguese discovered the Island of
Papua, and named it New Guinea on ac-
count of the striking resemblance of its
inhabitants to those of Guinea, i'll Africa.
The island itself is probably the largest
in the world, provided Australia is count
ed as a continent. Boneo has hitherto
claimed q superiority in size, but New
Guinea is generally admitted TO excel it.
Not long ago the authorities of New South
Wales petitioned England to annex
Papua. The idea has been received with
the greatest favor throughout Australia
so much so, in fact, that every colony on
that continent is understood to demand
annexation. The main reason alleged
for this desire is the fear that some for
eign power will seize New Guinea, nm
less England does so. This seems rather
fanciful, however, in view of the fact
that the deadly climate of the island has
driven out the only nation-the Duich-
which ever gained foothold on Papuan
soil. The only danger would be that of
German colonization, and Germany has
never shown any inclination to surround
herself with distant dependencies. Bis
marck seems to agree with Cobden's
sweeping statement in Parliament: " You
call the colonies England's strength; /;
they are Englands weakness" The
real reason for Australian unanimity in
demanding the annexation of the island
is probably the wish to have New Guinea
a member of the federated republic that
will ultimately, and perhaps ere long, be
formed of the different British colonies
in that part of the world. New Guinea
was once a part of Australia. The sea
has washed away the isthmus that
stretched between them. What God
has put asunder physically, man now
proposes to Join toL ether politically.

CHICKEN CHEESE. This is 80 nice that
everyone who eats it once likes it again.
Boil two chickens till tender; take out
oil the bones and chop the meat fine;
season to taste with salt, pepper and
butter; pour in enough of the liquor
they were boiled in to make moist; mold
it in any shape you choose, and, when
cold, turn out and cut into slices. It is
an excellent travelling or picnic lunch.

Theodore Tilton reappeared on the lecture
platform in New York city on Wednesday
evening, and delivered his lecture on LIES
Problem" The audience was large and rather
demonstrative, especially when the lecturer
made references that could be construed as
applicable to his own personal experience.
The first outburst Of this significant charac-
ter followed his passionate declaration, ga
star that sets may rise again; but the star that
falls is lost forever" Another still louder
burst Of applause followed sarcastic remark,
delivered with great force, to the effect that
this was country or civilization in which
man forgave an injury only at the expense of
his reputation. These and similar express
sions, to which the audience gave deeper
meaning than was probably intended by the
lecturer, were perfectly consonant with the
argument and did not appear to be unnatur-
ally introduced.
