UNIQUE ADDRESS TO CRIMINAL.-At
Chester, England, woman was recently
tried for killing her husband. The testi-
mopy showed that she bore patiently long,
continued provocation. At last, in mo-
ment of ungovernable irritation, she threw
o sharpened steel at at hlln, struck him and
fatally wounded him. The Judge believed
from the evidence that the consequences of
the act were deeply deplored by the wife;
that she did all in her power to aid the man
after wounding him, and therefore, although
the jury convicted, he made the following
unique address to the criminal: "All the
real right in this case was on your side, all
the real wrong on your husbands, and
God forbid that should punish you. I
will be no party to it. / viii not allow it
to be said by anybody that you are 4 convict

Railways as Creators of Value.

The building of a railroad, says the Phil
adelphia North AmerScGa, is as much form
of production as the raising Of vegetables.
Men and women require the one as much as
the other. The farmer cannot produce the
very implements he works with, the clothes
he wears, the bed he sleeps or the house
he inhabits. Production, then, really in
cludes everything that is saleable, or that
has real and substantial value. The rail
road itself is producer, since it creates
towns and villages, gives birth to farms,
saw mills, flour mills, quarries, mines, ma
chine shops, etc. The railroad mania has
in this way left its marks all over the land,
and if, instead of taking capital away from
these lines, we should stimulate the putting
of more and more capital to them, so as to
enable the companies to reassume and con-
tinue vigorously their policy of internal de-
velopment, all the mischief wrought by the
panic and revulsion would be speedily un-
done. For the same sagacious counsellors
who denounce the railroad mania as the
cause of so much misery, regard the vast
extension of mining and manufactures as q
sort of national delision, the work of infia-
tion.

The Black Hills.

YANKToN, D. T., March THE Blacl
Hills excitement is undated. A public
meeting was held here last night to take
steps to provide for emigrants who viii
leave the railroad at this place. Accompany
has been organized to run stages and
wagons from Yankton direct to the Black
Hills. The steam ferry company is over.
hauling its boats for carrying passengers
across the Missouri, and increasing Its
facilities. Five upper river steamers now
on the way are receiving the attention of a
large gang of workmen, and arrangements
are being made to put extra boats ON the
inc. Emigrants will be given all the
transportation facilities needed. A train
of four wagons left here for the Black Hills
yesterday morning.
Sioux CRY, Iowa, March 5.-The leading
citizens and business men of this city had
a meeting tonight and organized the
"Sioux City and Black Hills Transports
tion Company" with a capital of 800, 900.
It's object is the transportation of men and
merchandise to the Black Hills. Teams
will be at once purchased and trains started
by the 1st of April. John Gordon will
take the first train through.
OMAHA, March 17.-General Ord received
the following to-day from Gen. Sherman
The President directs that the following be
made public. All expeditions into that
portion Of the Indian country known rs the
Black Hills country must be prevented as
long as the present treaty exists. Efforts
are now being made to arrange for the
extinguishment of the Indian title, and all
proper means will be used to accomplish
that end. If, however, the steps which
are to be taken towards the opening of the
country to settlement fail, the persons at
present within that territory must be ex-
PEELED. By command of
GEN. SHERMAN.

There is but little credence placed in the
stories of miners from the Black Hills. 1t
is generally considered a movement of
interested towns, who hope to reap a
harvest outfitting the people.
YANKToN, March lit is stated by the
Herald here to-day, under the authority of
Delegate Armstrong, from Washington,
that the treaty of the United States with
the Sioux Indians whereby the Black
Hills country was set apart as reservation,
was never ratified by Cong,ess and that
the best authorities say it will not stand if
tested. This is also confirmed by other
gentlemen who were in Washington in 1866
and 1857, when the matter was under dis
cussion. The excitement increases here in
regard to new gold fields there, and parties
are preparing to start at once.

How the Washington Young Lady
Keeps Lent.

1t is edifying to see how cheerfully the
society girl doffs purple and fine linen for
sackcloth and ashes. She does not fast, for
that is $50 very trying, you know, al
most as bad as sitting up every night till 8
o'clock-and then nobody is obliged to fast
until she's twenty-one. She has lovely
missal, however, and goes to church twice
a day-especially in the evening, when the
young men are at leisure. She dons de-
mure black dresses, with innocent lace frills
at throat and wrist. She makes charlotte
russo for the washerwoman and her five
children in the alley, who have not tasted
any meat for a week; and when, with her
person adorned with a guileless white
apron, she explains to her morning caller
how size is engaged, the young man of the
period becomes victim on the spot, and
wishes it were "Lent" all the time, and
that he could "borrow' it. She visits the
poor, too, and takes the young man with
her to elevate his devotional spirit. He
thinks the washerwoman is brute for
screaming, instead of accepting it as a
modification of the flesh, when the young
lady spills not soup over her. Then she
and her friends organize sewing circles,
where they meet regularly every week,
equipped with those charming little chate-
laines. At Q o'clock the gentlemen come,
and they dance-very soberly and quietly, of
course. One of these little aoteries of last
season manufactured one shirt and five
sleeves; but as none of tho members knew
how to work buttonholes, the garment was
not distributed. Finally, with Easter bells
ringing, she goes to church to display her
new suit, fully satisfied that though her
ashes were ashes Of roses, and her sack
cloth cut in the latest style, she has done
all that was required of her Washington
Letter.

What Some New York Bellies Did for
Amusement.

| The New York correspondent Of the
Boston Saturday Gazette tells some amusing
stories concerning street masquerading OF
girls in good society. The other night, he
says, two of these young women dressed up
in some cast-of clothing, and went out on
the street to beg. They were long time
in getting up enough courage to ask any
one for money. Finally ,one of them went
up to lady and asked for something to get
food with. The lady looked at her mo-
ment, and said My dear, you are much too
pretty to be begging at this time of the
night and of the same time handed her
two cents. The girl flung them at her feet,
and told her II she could not give more than
that, she need not give any thing, and the
two ran off before the lady could recover
from her surprise. They stayed out until
10 o'clock. and by good luck, met with no
serious adventure. Three others, moving
in the tsame circle, dressed up-one as a
half growagirl, and the other as respect
able wom8a of the working class, This
party took 5he day light for their skylark-
ing. They pretended to have come from
the country, and stopped ON the first corner
for quart of peanuts. They then went to
Woods Museum to see rather sensational
play. They palavered with the ticket man; !;
wanted to know if tickets had't riz, and
if the half-grown gal couldn It get in for
half-price.' They united their money from
the corner of their hankerchlefs, and bought
front seats, made comments on the audience,
wept at the pathetic parts, roared at the
jokes, and made audible criticisms on the
actors. Iforgot to say that two lady friends,
who were not disguised, kept near them
all the time and it was as much as they could
do to keep from laughing aloud. They
walked down Broadway, and passed any
number Of persons they knew, who looked
right in to their faces and had no idea who
they were. The 'half-grown girl went up
to one Gentlemen whom she asked for
penny. He gave her 25 cent note, and
told her not to spend it all in candy, with
out once suspecting that she was Miss,
whom he was going to take to the opera
that very night. The strange part of it is
that the only change she made in her face
was to comb her hair straight back, and
put dull sort of half-witted expression into
her face. One of the other ladies wore a
IA gged veil, and the other merely combed
her hair down over her temples; but the
disguise was complete. They vent to
photograph gallery and had their ferrotypes
taken in a group. wish could reproduce
it in these columns. You could scarcely be-
lieve that those three common, countrifed-
looking females were three of the prettiest
and most stylish young ladies in New York.
Their acting was perfect, and would do
credit to the stage. They say that no one
can imagine what q strange ensation it was
to feel that they were OF no consequence.
They would walk along as they pleased, sit
down ON a step when they got tired and feel
no more concern than any old washerwoman.
No one paid the slightest attention to them
and they felt as Independent as beggars.

TOPICS OF THE TIMES.

Easter day Is always the first Sunday af-
ter the full moon; which happens upon or
next after the 21st of March. This year
the moon fulls ON the 21st of March, which
also happens to be Sunday. Therefore,
Easter falls on the following Sunday, the
2Sth of March. This is within six days of
the earliest period ON which it can occur.
The earliest possible date for the occur
renee of Easter is the 22d of March, and the
latest the 25th Of April. These extreme
limits are, however, seldom reached. In
1861 and 1918 Easter fell on the 22d of
March, but this will not happen again, nei-
ther in this nor the following century. In
1918 it will fall ON the 23d of March. The
latest casters in this century and the fol-
lowing, will occur in 1886 and 1943 on the
25th of April.

TYING HER BONNET UNDER HER
CHIN.
BY NORA PERRY.

BY NORA PERRY.
Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her raven rinelets in:
But not alone in the silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For, tying her bonnet under her chin.
She tied young mans heart within.
Thev were strolling together up I he hil
Where the wind comes blowing merry and chill,
And it blew the curls, a froicsOme race
All over the happy, peach-coored face,
Till. scolding and laughing, she tied them in,
Under her beautiful, dimpled chin.
And it blew color, bright as the bloom
Of the pihke-t fuchsia's tossing plume.
All over the cheeks of the prcttiest girl
That ever imprisoned a romping curl.
Or, tying her bonnet under her chin,
Tied young mans heart within
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hill;
Madder, merrer, chier still
The western wind blew down, and played
The widest tricks with the little maid.
AS. tying her bonnet nnder har chin
She tied young mans heart within.
y, western wind, do you think 1t was tair
To play such tricks with her floating hair
So gladly, geefully do your best
TO blow her gainst the young mans breast
Where he as gladly folded her in,
And kissed her mouth and her dimpled chin?
All! Ellery Vane You little thought
An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass to walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What perions danger you'd be in,
AS she tied her bonnet under her chin.

POETRY.
A NAMELESS GRAVE.
BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.

:, "A soldier of the Union mustered out"
Is the inscription on an unknown grave
At Newport News, beside the salt sea wave,
Nam eless and dateless. Sentinel or scout,
Shot down in skirmsh or disastrous rout
or battle, when the loud artillery drove
lts iron wedges through the ranks of brave
And doomed battaltons storming the redoubt!
Thou unknown hero, sleeping by the sea
In thy forgotten grave! with secret shame
feel my pulses beat, my forehead burn
When remember thou hast given for me
All that thou hadst, thy life, thy very name,
And can give thee nothing in return.

The Opeioscope is very simple instru-
ment for writing or picturing sound. 1t
consists of tube of any metal one or two
inches in diameter and from two to twenty
inches long. Over one end is pasted a
piece of tissue paper, thin rubber, or gold
beater's skin, and in the center of this bit
of looking-glass, perhaps an inch square.
Hold this end in the sun and the other at
the mouth, and sing or speak into it. The
ray of light reflected from the mirror
falling on white surface in the shade
describes curves and patterns, differing
for every pitch and intensity, with the same
conditions giving uniform results.

The International Rife Match.

A meeting of the Irish Rifle Association
was held yesterday, under the Presidenc
of the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of re-
ceiying the report of the recent Interna-
tional Rifle Match in the United States.
Major Leech, the Captain of the Irish Team,
made an interesting statement respect
ing the origin Of the match and proceed
ings of the Irish Team in America, warm
ly acknowledging the hospitable and hearty
reception given them by tile citizens of
New York. He stated that in consequence
of the defeat of the Irish he had addressed
a challenge to the Captain of the American
Team to shoot q return match in Dublin,
and the challenge having been duly accept
ed, team Of American Rihemen will come
here in June next to renew the amicable
contest with their Irish competitors. Major
Leech expressed hope that the reception
Of our American friends will be of char
acter suitable to the occasion, and we are
satisfied that he will not be disappointed.
The citizens Of Dublin will, we are sure, do
their part in repaying tho courtesy, atten-
tion and hospitality which were lavished
on our countrymen during their stay in
New York. On the occasion Of the Inter-
national match, the Gail Ireland Challenge
Shuld'' hitherto open to Ireland alone, will
be opened to Americans and to no other
nationality. Major Leech proposes that,
whoever may win the International match
in June, return match shall be shot in
Philadelphia, in compliment to America,
during the year 1876-the centenary of the
establishment of Americas Independence.
The Lord Mayor expressed his sympathy
with the Irish Rife Association, and said it
would give him great pleasure to cooperate
with Major Lseoh and the other members
of the Association in giving their warm
hearted American friends the welcome they
SO richly deserved. Votes of thanks were
passed to the Civic authorities of New York
and Brooklyn, and to the members Of the
Amer lean Rife Association for their kind
ness and attention to the Irish party dur
ing their visit to New York. Dublin Reaos

teen and half chances. If she lives un-

The accident to which Orange Judd

Mr.. and Mrs. Judd lived, in their
early history, in modest house in a
retired street in Flushing, L. I. Mr..
Judd went to New York every day to
work upon the american A9rlcultur-
ist-a struggling paper sold at the
rate of 81 a year; and in the evening
he and his wife put up seeds in little
paper bags, which were sold in the
New York store. he kept an old
horse, for business purposes, that went
by the name of "the hair trunk" and
it was standing joke in Flushing
that the gentlemen would 60 to the
city in the morning, passing Mr..
Judd's horse at a certain point on the
road, and, though he was evidently
moving, it was at the same spot when
they returned at night. One day, Mr..
Judd sent clerk out to collect some
money, to the extent of 500, out of
which be was to pay for the insertion
