A Fish-hOok Travels from Boys Right
Hand to His Left Shoulder.

We find the following in the Dover, (NH)
Enquirer: ''Some eight years ago q lad of l3,
"a son CT Charles T.. Myers. well-known
citizen Of Portsmouth, while fishing from one
of the wharyes of that city, caught fish
hook in the fore finger OF the right hand, near
the roots of the nail, drawing it in to the bend
of the hook. His father said Mt once that the
only thing to be done was to open the finger
on line with the hook and take it out but
preferred to cali in their family physician to
do it. After looking at it Tor a moment, the
doctor, by n sudden twist, wrenched the hook
from the finger, minus the barb and point
The parents were justly indignant at such
rough treatment, and insisted that the hook
was not all removed, while the boy came near
fainting from anguish. The doctor, how
ever, insisted that no inconvenience would
result, and dressed the finger in some simple
and safe manner, and in due time the wound
healed But the finger and arm troubled him
for a long time After year or two the lads
health SO far failed as to become a subject of
serious alarm to his friends, he being subject
to frequent and alarming faintng fits and
other spasmodc affections or symptoms.
This state OF aifirs continued for years, with
more intensity, until year or two ago, when
the boys health became nearly or quite re-
stored. In the spring of 1874 tbs young man,
while dressing himself one morning, tore n
pimple from his left shoulder, and, on exam
lining it. he drew from the flesh the point of
the hook which seven years before was i'm
bedded in finger on the opposite side of
his body

The fifth fire Saturday morning appears to have
broken out in the document room OF the En-.

to have been paid in large amounts from this
bureau without authority Of law, hence the desire

MOultOn on Beecller.

N. Y. Herald, LIST
During the course of this trial Mr.. Moulton
made the following shrewd remark:
Il think the moral part Of Beecher-
preaching parts stronger to-day than ever,
because, i'll the language of the hymn
He never breaks the bruised reed.
He knows what sore temptation means
For he hath felt the same.
This extraordinary liberality toward one of
the leading characters in the case from a very
interested witness is one Of the eccentricites
of the trial. Moulton has never taken
Beechers picture from its peg i'll his parlor.
He holds that Beecher could never have
preached the great human sermons he has
made but for his animal sympathies
On the other hand Tilton also holds vari-
Gus relation even to his supporters. There are
some persons who defend his cause who still
have little OR no personal sympathy with him.
There is something too diSpassionate, frigd,
complaisant self-returning in his many
moods to please even his adherents. He
seems to lack the common human elements as
much as Mr. Beecher has them in excess His
conduct of this case, remarkable as it has
been, has somewhat detached him from the
ordinary genial sympathies of Just the class
which has been his mainsiay. We do not ex-
pect our victims to become too suddenly
heroes, bold and self-sustaining. When Mr..
Tilton kept his seat in the courtroom unre-
cognized even by his wife, almost friendless,
type Of one shorn, abandoned, with no al
tentative but court Of justice. many anony-
nous people visited him with flowers and
nosegays as if somewhere in society there was
a sense of justice and forethought which in
variably balanced and equalizsd conditions
On the other hand, a cold, directing, mastery
Tilton loses some Of the sympathy he obtains
in weaker moments.

AN OLD MAN FOUND In THE
BASIN.
More Mystery-Murder Probable.

About 8 o'clock this morning the body Of
an unknown white man was found floating il
the Old Basin, near the corner of IRENE
street at first it was thought the man had
been accidentally drowned, but, from subse-
quent investigation, it is believed by many
that he was the victim of foul play.
From the appearance of the body it had
been in the water for some days, and yet was
not swollen in the lie st.
The man was apparently aged about fifty
two and of medium height. The Coroner
held an inquest Tuesday morning and
rendered verdict in accordance with the
above facts. The appearance of the body
was perfectly abhorrent; the eyes being en-
tirely eaten out by the crabs, as well as the
ears and part of the nose, which were off.
The man was well dressed. having on a black
broadcloth coat and pepper and salt pants
and vest, fine calfskin boots and linen
shirt, and fine warm Undertaking. The
hands Of the unfortunate IN IN were shriveled
as if the body had been in the water for sever
al days, and the general appearance of the
corpse was that of a man Of good standing.

Is there no place on the face Of the earth
| Where charity Gwelleth, where virtue has birth
Where bosoms in kindness and mercy will heave
And the poor and the wretched shall ask and re-

Is there no place on earth where knock from

| Will bring kind angel to open the door?
| All search the wide world wherever you can,
| There is no open door for the mOneyless man.
| Go look in the hall where the chandelier light
Drives off with its splendor the darkness of night
Where the rich hanging velvet, in shadowy fold.
| Sweeps gracefully down, with Its trimming OF
gold,
And mirrors OF silver take up and renew
In long lighted vistas the 'wldering view:
Go there in your patches, and find if you can

Which gives back to the sun his same look of

And the walls seem as pure as a soul without sin:
Go down the long aisle -see the rich and the

In the pomp and the pride Of their worldly estate
Walk down in your patches, and find If you can,
Who opens pew for moneyless man.
Go look to your judges, in dark flowing gown,
With the scales wherein law weigheth quietly
down
Where he frowns on the weak and smiles on the
strong,
And Furnishes right while he justifes wrong;
Where jurors their lips on the Bible have laid,
To render verdict they've already made:
Go there IN the courtroom, and find if you can,
Any law for the case ola moneyless man.
Go look in the banks where Mammon has told |
His hundreds and thousands of silver and gold
Where, safe from the hands Of the starving and |
poor,
Lies pile upon pile of the glittering ore
Walk up to the counter-ah, there you may stay
Till your limbs have grown old and your HAIR
turns gray,
md you'll find at the bank not one of the clan
With money to lend to the moneyless man.
Then go to your howell no raven has fed

A REMARKABLE TRIAL.
from the Pail Mall Budget. |

/ T.
A millworker has been convicted of whist.
ling at the Provost of Musselburgh. The
name Of the miscreant is McWatt, and full de-
tails of the lamentable affair was given by the
Provost at the Musselburgh Police Court last
week, when McWatt was charged before the
babies on the bench with the otfenee he had
| committed. 1t seems that on the evening of
| the Sth inst, the Provost was passing along
| the street near the station bridge at Mussel-
| burgh, when he met McWatt with another
young man. McWatt and his companion
| both commenced loud whstling." The
young man who joined in the outrage APP
pears to have fled conscience-stricken imme-
diately after committing it, but McWstt was
left in the hands Of an Inspector of Police,
who happily was on the spot, and the Pro-
vost, with all the dignity of department to be
expected in local authority, ''went down
street again" Will it be believed that later
in the day McWatt, on meeting the Provost,
repeated the offense On this second occa-
sion the Provost met McWatt face to face on
the outskirts of a crowd returning from some
races.
McWatt "was whistling at the pitch of his
voice, as if" added the Provost, "to make
me knock him down. The Provost did not
make this complaint as Provost of the
burgh" He spoke, as he explained 'sas a
private citizen maintaining "that this
youth, who does not pay taxes, had no right
TO insult private citizen, and be guilty of
behavior likely to lead to "a breach Of the
peace, or, in other words, calculated to pro- !
woke the Provost to pitch into him. McWatt's |
defense was singularly weak. "It is" he
said, every seldom that l walk the street |
without whistling;;' and on being reminded
by Bailie Adamson that he had been requested |
once or twice by the police and the Provost to
4" stop it., he replied, eff thoughts like that
come into the Provost's head, it's not my
fault meaning, no doubt, that he had not
actually intended to whistle at the Provost
The punishment inflicted on this miserable
youth may strike some persons as being al
most too severe, but it must be remembered
that to tempt Provost to commit an aggra-
waited assault is not only thoughtless but
liabolical act. McWatt was cautioned :. not
TO do it again. and thus ended one of the
most remarkable trials of modern days.

about the streets of Virginia City as cordial
as in the old days: he dresses no better than
any ordinary gentleman Of Virginia, and eats
no better food than conscientious editor
ought to have. And yet, as his fortune is
rated in the stock list daily he is SO rich that,
were his stocks turned into money, he could
lend Scott that $4,000. 600 he wants, and have
enough left to live comfortably upon.
He could unaided, 60 down and oper, at

State of the Union with 100000 each, or
could build double track narrow gauge rail

solve at once the problem of cheap trans

do; tut what he will do is apparent enough.
He was here when thirty feet of ore near the
surface was big mine. At 1900 feet he has

A writer in the February Overland speaks
in glowing terms of the Indian policy pursued
by the British Government through the Hud-
son Bay Company. Til policy of this COM
pany has been peculiarly fortunate. They
have accepted the Indian as they found him
as God made him. They have striven to
utilize, rather than cvilize or evangelize him.
They have taught the red man to respect them
as masters; but while ruling them sternly
they have treated them with justice. All con
tracts they have kept faithfully; 10 shoddy is
found in their articles of barter. and the
agents of the company are upright and
downright in their dealings. The conse-
quence Of all this is that their word is never
doubted, any violation Of the law is intexbly
punished. and murders and outrages rarely
occur. The Hudson's Bay people recognize
an existing state of things; they leave the
Indian undisturbed in his moral condition,
control the evil in him by fear, fairly reward
the good, and are successful
