Six Million Dollars in Eggs.

THREE freight-cars containing $6,OOO,-
600 worth of silk-worm eggs arrived at
St. Johns Park Depot on Tuesday. Ihey
had come from Hong Kong to San Fran
cisco in twenty three days, and thence to
New York in less than seven days, the
speed being faster than the mails are car
ried by the same route. This uncommon
cargo is going to Italy and the south OF
France, and could have reached its des-
tination quicker and at less cost by way
of the Suez Canal, but it has been found
useless to ship then that way because the
southern climate matches the eggs.
The silk-worms are put upon long sheets
of cardboard in China, and are left until
each board is covered with eggs, which
are about the size of mustard seed. The
eggs stick to the cards, which, interla'd
with sheets of paper, are packed IN
wooden boxes, tightly closed and wrapped
in canvas and mating. In this shipment
there were 647 cases, containing over 10000
cards The cases were transferred yester-
lay to the Hamburg steamer Frisia, which
will sail for Europe to-day. When the
eggs reach their destination they will be
stored IN vaults, secure against warmth,
until the mulberry trees on which they
feed have grewn their foliage =.

L LOVE TOE, MOTHER.

81 LOVE you, mother" said little John,
Then, forgetting his W rk, his cap went on
And he was off to the garden swing.
And left her the water and wood to bring.
~ love you mother" said rosy Nell,
" love you better than words can tell"
Then she tea.ed and pouted full halfthe day,
Till her mother rejoiced when she went to play
~ love you mother" said little Fan,
To day III help you all can.
How glad j am school doesn't keep!"
So she rocked the baby till 1t fell asleep.
Then stepping softly she fetched the broom
And swept the floor aud tidied the room;
Busy and happy all day was she,
Helpful and happy as child could be.
~ love you, mother" again they said
Three little children going to bed.
How do you think that mother guessed
Which one Of them really loved her bests

"Is THIS New York, Detroit, Chicago or

settled.

replied His Honor, as he softly scratched
his head. "It is city Of 10000 peo-
pie, nicely situated, contains great many
honest men, and is chiefly noted for the
great ease and fuency with which its
hack drivers tell man to go to Texas. "
"Well, struck this town in the night "
continued the prisoner, "and | hadn't
been here an hour before a loafer struck
me-"
Did you strike back?'
- Yes, sir; and then / struck out to get
away from the police"
"But the officers struck your trail, and
you were brought in and here you are" I"
said His Honor.

For anything.'

Court. "There's nothing to turn up
here. You might wait around here ahun-

easy situation, such as you probably
seek"
"I'dlike to get to be a clerk in the Post

"Have you ever filled such a position?"
"No, sir; but I've written a great

postage stamps
"Up there where you are going for
three months" said His Honor, after a
painful pause, "there will be no waiting,
not even for dinner. Days will pass
swiftly by, and the June blossoms will be
winking at the green cowslips before you
know it."
Hang your cowslips!' groaned the
prisoner.

Romance of Dining-RO0m Girl Who
Broke Butter-Dish.

ABOUT the year 1862 girl named Mar
garet Shiel, employed in the dining room
of the Palmer House, had the misfortune
to let fall butter -dish-one of set OF
six-so as TO break the strainer. The gen
tleman who was keeping the hotel at that
time charged her with the cost of the en-
tire set and took the amount out of her
wages In leaving the house Margaret
passed through the dining room and told
the other girls that she had paid for those
dishes and was going to have them. She
accordingly took them home with her.
This coming to the ears of the landlord,
he consulted the Prosecuting Attorney,
Mr.. James Sweetser, and caused him TO
institute suit against the girl for larceny.
The case was tried before Esquire Fisher
and, the facts being detailed, it was uni
versally agreed by all that there was no
case and the girl was discharged. In leav-
ing the court the landlord called angrily
to the girl and told her to bring back the
dishes she had stolen from him. Margaret
then brought suit against the landlord on
two counts-for malicious prosecution and
for slander-aEd, on trial, was awarded
verdict for S700. The case was taken to
the Supreme Court and the decision re-
versed. On the new trial a verdict OF
81 900 was awarded for Miss Shiel. The
Court directed that she remit $500 of the
verdict or he would grant new trial. She
declined to remit and new trial was Or
dered. The landlord took change OF
venue to Hendricks County, and, dis
missing his former attorney, employed
Mai Gordon. The case came on for trial
Porter, Harrison and Fishback for
plaintiff, who had in the meantime mar
ried and changed her name-and a YER
dict of 800 was awarded on themalicious
prosecution count. An appeal was again
taken to the Supreme Court and the judg-
ment of the lower court affirmed, not be-
cause there was not sufficient error, but
because the defendant had exhausted the
amount of new trials to which he was en-
titled.
The plaintiff disappeared before the
amount of the judgment was paid in, and
for several years it has been awaiting her
order. Quite recently she has been found
and will receive the money which has
been waiting for her.
The case is singular one, as showing
the trivial causes from which lawsuits
spring, and the gigantic dimensions which
they finally attain through the obstinacy
of litigants. In this case an insignificant
accident involving loss of not more than
six cents kept the courts busy for years,
and cost the defendant at least 81 900.
1t is presumed that the plaintiff still
has the historic butter dish, and will hand
it down, as an heir loom, to her children.

A Norwegian Wilalery.

On small island opposite to the town
of Wadso. in the extreme north of Nor
way, there exists an establishment the
like of which is probably not to be met
with in any part Of the world. Its most
appropriate designation would be, per-
haps, slaughter-yard for whales; and
Mr.. Foyn, its proprietor, conducts the
business of capturing and cutting up the
monsters in manner peculiarly his own.
Instead of fitting out the usual-sized YES
sells intended to make long voyages and
bring home only the most useful parts OF
the animal, Mr.. Foyn employs small
one hundred and fifty to one hundred and
eighty tons-screw steamers, shoots his
fish with cannon, and has them towed
back, one by one, as they are captured, to
the shambles at Wadso. AS the fishing
grounds are within easy reach OF the lat
ter, the steamers, as a rule, secure and
return with prize within twelve hours
time. With respect to the cannon EN-
ployed, it is gun having a chamber
about four feet long; this is mounted on
the forecastle of the vessel, ard, being
very accurately balanced, can be easily
moved to allow an exact aim to be taken.
The projectile in use consists of long
iron bolt, having at its extreme end four
harpoons, bound round with line So as
to be fiat, and close to the harpoons five
to six FOUNDER shell. AS soon as the
steamer has approached sufficiently near
to the fish-and whales off that part of
the coast are not over-shy, allowing YES
sci to come within shot-the bolt is fired
off, and, if well-drected, penetratcs deep
ly into the flesh and blub0er of the ami
NAL. The whale then naturally rushes
off at a furious pace, thinking thus to
elude his pursuers. Unfortunately for
him, however, no step could be more
suicidal, for the effect of his rapid move
ment is to make the bolt slip back little,
thus setting free the four harpoons from
the lines, and by means of mechanical
arrangemt Mt c using shell to explode.
This generally proves the coup de grace,
killing the fish outright; but occasionally
the animal is not sufficiently hard hit,
and its capture is not so easily effected, as
it dashes away at tremendous speed,
draggi lg the steamer after it.

TIE DEATH OF THE OLD YEAR

Full knee-deep lies the winter snow,
And the winter winds are wearily signing:
Toll ye the church.bcll sad and slow,
And tread softly and speak low,
For the Old Year lies a-dying.
Old Year, you must not die;
You came to us SO readily,
You lived with us SO steadily,
Old Year, you shall not die.
He lieth still; he doth not move;
He will not see the dawn of day;
He bath no othe life above;
He gave me friend and true. true love,
And the New Year will take cm away.
Old Year, yon must not go;
So long as you have been with us,
Such joy as you have seen with us;
Old Year, you shall not go.
How hard he breatbes, Over the snow
l heard just now the growing cock.
The shadows flicker to and fro,
The cricket chirps; the light burns low;
"Tis nearly twelve o'clock
Shake hands bafore you die,
Old Year, wen dearly rue for you;
What is it we can do for your
Speak out before you die.
His face is growing sharp and thin;
Alack, our friend is gone;
Close up his eyes; tie up his chin;
Step from the corpse, and let him in
That standeth there alone,
And waiteth at the door,
There's a new foot on the ho0r, my friend
And new face at the door, my friend,
A new face at the door.

A FELLOW got fearful blow on the
head with stone spittoon at a South G
street saloon night before last. The blow
left his head all ont of shape. There
was dent in one side of it about four
inches deep. AS he lay there on the floor
Of the saloon the man was horrible
looking object. Some of those present
said the fellows head could never be got
in shape again. A wise-looking, little, old
gentleman in spectacles came to the front,
however, and said he could fix it. Pro.
curing an ordinary hand bellows he in
serted the nozzle into the ear of the in
jared man. After a few puffs with the
little, machine the fellows head was
brought out as smooth and plump as a
freshly blown bladder, and he got up and
walked off as fine looking man as he was
before he incurred the injury Nrgtnta

I" Idaho"

MR.. WILLIAM o. SToDDARD recently
contributed to the New York Tribune an
anecdote of the origin Of the name Idaho
Territory He says that his eccentric
friend" the late DR.. George NJ. Willing,
who was the first Delegate to Congress, at
a discussion in the House of Representa-
tives in regard to the name of the new
Territory, saw the little daughter OF a
member of Congress upon the floor, and
called: Ida, ho, come and see me-"
which Immediately suggested to him a
good name. When he was asked what
"Idaho" meant he said, quickly: "Gem
of the mountain" Mr.. Stoddard thinks
that this story proves conclusive that the
word Idaho" is meaningless.
Mr.. Jonathan H. Trumbull, of Hart
ford, Conn, the well-known student OF
Indian legends and languages, partly
agrees with Mr.. Stoddard. But he says
in a letter to the Hartford Courant:
"The name-whatever its meaning or
origin-belonged to Northern Colorado
long before it was given to the present
Idaho Territory.
alt certainly does not mean gem OF
the mountain or anything like it, in any
Indian language of the region in which
it was first found. 1t would, in fact, be
as impossible to an Indian to name, as il
would be to conceive of, mountain as "a
