Animals Length of Life.

The average age Of sheep does
not much exceed ten years; to
that period they will usually live,
breed and thrive tolerably we'll.
But there are instances OF a much
more protracted age. Particular
sheep are stated to live nearly
twenty years-those which the
mountain shepherds call "guide
sheep" old wethers which are
kept on purpose to direct the bleat'
ing flock in the unirequented
wilds.
Cows have an average age Of
about fifteen years. Rings on the
horns tell the number of their
days. At four years old a ring is
formed at their roots and very
succeeding year another is added
Thus, by alloSlng three years
before their appearance, and
counting the number of rings, the
age Of The animal is known. Ii is
well for certain members of the
human race losing their bloom,
who are somewhat sensitive upon
the question of age, that there are
definite appearances added with
annual precision to their cheeks.
Pigs have been known to live
through thirty years, but the av-
erage term is much less Good
Health.

BABCOCK'S TRIAD

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 16 Immediately upon the
opening of the court this morning, ex-Attorney
General Williams rose and addressed the jury
In the opening of the defence of Babcock. He
devoted considerable time to an argument of
the probabilities of the case and a criticism OF
the evidence for the government, assuming
that what government had presented was COM
petent evidence which was by no means admit
ted. Mr.. Williams said that the case might
present some suspicious circumstances, but by
no means ground on which to base conviction.
He then proceeded with some explanations
which would throw different light upon the
communications between Babcock and the ring
At that time he said Joyce andMcDonald were
trusted officials, men of influence and possess
ing the confidence of good people. General
Babcock on the other hand was warm heart
ed, cOnfding and generous man who did not
give up friends for whispers of calumny.
General Williams then traced Babcock's mil
itary career from West Point, which he eu)o-
gzed as a place where honor and honesty were
inculcated and where thieves and robbers we're
not admitted. "A good deal of stress was given
to General Babcock's relations to the President
and to the trust and confidence reposed in him
as private Secretary to the President His off,
cial delnquencies wonld more or less reflect
upon and degrade the chief1executive of the ma
ton. No ingratitude would be so black as his
if he would bring dishonor on one who had put
such confidence in him.
While explaining some of the kilograms be-
tween d6n DdOcOck, OOyCc duu McOOHalu, tne
speaker referred specially to the Sylph dispatch
and called it a pivotal point of the prosecution.
If Babcock sent that telegram for any criminal
purpose he took the very conrse to prove that
purpose. Because if he had sent that telegram
over his own name much of its significance
would have been lost, yet he sent it in his own
handwriting leaving proof that he sent it easy
to procure. The Sylph signature was mere
act of thoughtlessness or playfulness, of which
all of US are guilty at some time or other.
Referring to the dispatch Of Dec. 5th 1874,
which is one of the three kilograms not passed
upon by the court and which reads as follows,
'Have not heard that anybody has gone or is
going" Gen. Williams said: "Babcock does
not remember having sent it, and hence it is
required for the government to prove. Bah
cock was on intimate relations with the Presi-
dent, and it was the custom of officers all over
the country to address him relative to anything
they desired to find out or secure. So BabcOck,
knowing Joyce only as an honest man, of
course answered the latter's inquiry as to
whether agents were coming here, as he an.
swered thousands of other inquiries.
A number of witnesses were called, who tes-
titled to Babcock's good character.

RESULT OF JEALOUSY.
Trial Of Fred Godfrey for Assault With
Intent to Kill.

BANGOR, Feb. 16-The trial of Fred Godfrey
for assault with intent to kill on G. NJ Wilson,
commenced yesterday. Tho day was occupied
in the testimony of Wilson, who testified at
the time of the shooting Godfrey declared his
reason for the act to be the improper conduct
of Wilson toward his wife-that Godfrey invit-
ed him into separate room when very short
alteration occurred, in which Godfrey asked
Wilson question or two in relation to his con,
duct, to which Wilson replied with an EN-.
phatic denial of the implied accusation. and
reflected somewhat upon the personal attrac-
tons of Godfrey's wife. whereupon Godfrey
drew his revolver and fred at him, grazing his
left arm at the first shot, the second wbistling
uncomfortably near his head, and the third
shot giving him a parting salute as he disap.
peared through the door, beating retreat. at
double quick.
Godfrey testified this forenoon. He said the
day of the shooting was blank to him, he did
not remember anything that occurred.
The court room is crowded and much interest
is manifested in the case.

OvERALLs AND MURDER.-The tragic and
the comic are not infreguently combined in
cases of crime. One of the instances of this
rule is the low comedy and terrible tragedy re-
Gently at East Lyndon, VT. Because Mrs. ST.
las Wilder made a pair of overalls too short,
Silas stabbed her, knocked down his father, 70
years old, with ssSfaxe, cut his venerable moth
or to pieces with the same weapon, then re-
tn-rc;.dg to his father, who had meantime
crawled feebly into the kitchen, fastened his
gray hairs to the floor by single skull-crush-
ing blow, and ended his understanding career
By cutting his own throat and hanging him.
self. And all because his overalls were too
short 1t is fortunate that no greater evil
vexed his soul. If he had scratched his finger
he might have slaughtered all East Lyndon.
If he had tumbled down on his knee pan, Yer
mont might be an uninhabited wilderness to-
day. And if falling brick had cracked his
crazy-bone, there is no knowing but that he
would have massacred all New England. If
short overals affect the rural mind in this
manner in Vermont, the Legislature of that
state sho1ld by all means make the production
of pair of abbreviated brooches sufficient
cause for dissolving the marriage tie. Most
women would prefer being divorced to being
murdered. -Chicaq0 Tribune
