Minister to England.

Edwards Pierrepont, who succeeds
Mr.. Schenck as United States minister
to England, was born at New Haven,
Conn, in 1917, and entered Yale Col
lege in 1888, graduating in 1887 in the
same class with Mr.. Evarts and Chief
Justice Waite. His legal studies were
prosecuted at the law school, under
Judge Daggett, and in 1910 he was ad-
mitted to practice, removing to Colum-
bus, Ohio, where he entered into part
nership with Mr.. P. B. Wilcox, the
State reporter. During the next five
years Mr.. Pierrepont enjoyed a success
full practice and established a legal repu-
tation. In 1916 he went to New York
city. In 1857 he was elected to fill the
vacancy in the superior court created by
the death of Chief Justice Oakley, a
position which he held for three years,
then resigning. When the war broke
out he arrayed himself on the side of
President Lincoln, nominally as a war
Democrat; was member of the Union
Defense committee of New York city;
member, in 1862, of the commission for
examining into the cases of prisoners
of State, and one of the counsel for the
government in the Surratt trial. Short
ly after the nomination of Mr.. Seymour
he declared for Grant, and on the cleo
ton of the latter was made district at
torney, holding the Office somewhat over
a year. In 1873 he was offered and de-
clined the Russian mission, and in the
la ajter part OF April, 1876, was appointed
attorney general of the United States.
Mr.. Pierrepont was member of the
Constitutional convention of 1867, when
he served on the judiciary committee.
He was also member of the committee
of seventy, of New York city.

Sensitive Flame.

OF all producers of so-called mysteri-
GUS sounds, DR.. Tyndalls sensitive or
vowel flame is one of the most curious.
Out of a particular kind of gas, with q
burner of peculiar construction, the
learned professor produces lighted jet
of fame nearly two feet in height, ex-
tremely narrow, and so exquisitely SEN
sitive to sounds that it sings and dances
up and down in response to everything
that is sung or said, with different de-
grees of sensibility for different vowel
sounds. "The slightest tap on dis
tant anvil reduces its height to seven
inches. When bunch of keys is shak-
en-, the fame is violently agitated and
emits loud roar. The dropping of q
sixpence into hand already containing
coin, at distance of twenty yards,
knocks the fame down. It is not posi-
BILE to walk across the floor without agi-
tating the fame. The creaking of boots
sets it in violent commotion. The
crumpling or tearing of paper, or the
rustic of silk dress, does the same. 1t
is startled by the patter of a rain-drop.
1 hold a watch near the flame; nobody
hears its ticks, but you all see their
effect upon the fame; at every tick ii
falls and roars. The winding. up of the
watch also produces tumuIt. The twit-
tering of distant sparrow shrieks in
the flame; the note of cricket would
do the same. A chirrup from distance
of thirty yards causes it to fall and
roar" In reference to the power of the
flame to respond to poetry, the lecturer
said: "The fame selects from the
sounds those to which it can respond; il
notices some by the slightest nod, to
others it bows more distinctly, to some
its obeisance is very profound, while
to many sounds it turns an entirely deaf
ear"
So long as the cause of any unusual
sound is unexplained to the non-scien.
tific listener, he is apt, naturally enough,
to term that sound mysterious; but the
element of mystery will disappear when
he is assured that sounds of every de.
scription are due to natural and unalter.
able acoustic principles.

The Cost of Plumage.

There is no lady deserving of the
name who could witness without q feel
ing of horror the process of preparing
for use the feathered beauties which
form such conspicuous ornaments in the
present style of women's hats. If those
who wear such ornaments knew the
tortures to which these helpless little
creatures are subjected, and the heart
less cruelty with which the business is
carried on, they would shrink from even
indirect completely init. Of course the
impression prevails that all birds used
for personal decoration are killed i'm
mediately when caught and prepared in
the ordinary way by taxidermists but
here is where the mistake is made. The
birds are taken alive, and while living
the skin is skillfully stripped from their
quivering, CHASTITY bodies. By this pro-
cess it is claimed the feathers retain a
firmer hold upon the skin. Such is the
method by WHICH all birds used in the
decoration of ladies' hats are prepared.
Think of the exquisite humming bird,
the blue bird, the cardinal bird, the
oriole, and numberless others of beauti-
full plumage, struggling beneath the
knife of the heartless operator think of
this, tender hearted ladies, as your ad-
miring gaze rests on the latest novelties
in fashion by which our city bellies are
crownedl Hundreds of thousands of
birds of the brightest plumage are liter
ally fayed alive every year, and SO long
as our ladies will consent to wear such
ornaments, just SO long will this crue
business continue. The Baroness Bur-
dette Coutts has placed herself at the
head of movement in England de-
signed to put an end to the brutal bust
ness, and it is to be hoped that she will
meet with cordial encouragement and
cooperation on this side of the Atlantic.

About Bricks.

Bricks are said to have been first used
in England by the Romans about A. d.
A. They were also made under the di-
rection of Alfred, A. d. 1856. From
that time the use of bricks has been
constant and continuous. The earlier
brick buildings were almost entirely
constructed with bricks of Roman man
ufacture, with a peculiar red mortar;
but, as the English progressed in knowl-
edge and skill, native bricks were
gradually introduced, and at the begin
ming of the thirteenth century were
freely used.

The Black Eyed Rebel.

- ~~NN~
A boy drove into the city, his wagon loaded
down
With food to feed the people Of the British
governed town;
Aud the little black eyed rebel, so cunning and
so sly,
Was watching for his coming from the corner
Of her eye. .......
His face looked broad and honest, his hands
were brown and tough,
The clothes he wore upon him were home
.., spun, coarse, and rough
But one there was who watched him, who long
time fingered nigh,
And cast at him sweet glances from the corner
of her eye.
He drove up to the market, he waited in the
His apples and potatoes were fresh and fair
and fine;
But long and long he waited, and no one came
to buy,
Save the black eyed rebel, watching from the
corner Of her eye.
long and loud
And "Wbo wants my potatoes ?" he repeated
to the crowd;
But from all the people round him came no
word Of reply,
Save the black eyed rebel, answering from the
corner of her eye.
For she knew that meath the lining Of the coat
he wore that day
We're long letters from the husbands and the
fathers far away,
Who we're lighting for the freedom that they
meant 10 gain or die;
And tear like silver glistened in the corner
Of her eye.
But the treasures-how to get them ? crept
the question through her mind,
Since keen enemies were watching for what
prizes they might fnd
And she paused while and pondered. with a
pretty little sigh;
Then resolve crept through her features, and
shrewdness fired her eye.
So ele resolute'y walked mp to the wagon old
and red
"May have a dozen apples for kiss ?" she
swee;ly said
And the brown face flushed to scarlet, for the
boy was somewhat shy,
And he saw her laughing at him from the cor
ner OF her eye
"You may have them all for nothing, and
more, if you want" quoth he.
II will have them, my good fellow, but can
pay for them" said she.
Aud she clambered on the wagon minding not
who all were by,
With laugh OF reckless romping in the corner
of her eye.
Cliuging round his brawny neck, she clasped
her fingers white and small,
And then whispered: Quick the letters !
thrust them underneath my shawl!
Garry back again this package, and be sure
that you are spry !"
And she sweetly smiled upon him from the
corner of her eye.
Loud the motley crowd we're laughing at the
strange ungirlish freak,
And the boy was scared ard painting, and 80
dashed he could not speak;
And: Miss, have good apples" bolder
lad did cry;
But she answered "No, thank you," from
the corner of her eye.
With the news Of loved ones absent to the dear
friends they would greet,
Searching them who hungered for them, swift
she glided through the street.
There is nothing worth the doing that it
does not pay to try"
Thought the little black eyed rebel, with a
twinkle in her eye.

Take a Newspaper Rather than Whip
Your Wife i'm Texas,

In the State case against Lewis for
whipping his wife, the defendant was
fined $100, which he is paying in jail.
If he had taken the Montague NeaD8,
that paper tells us, and read it in his
moments of idleness, the devil would
not have tempted him to chastise his
better half. Just in this instance two
dollars iudiciously spent for his county
paper might have saved him over 800.
1t is hard to imagine what the devil will
not put into the idle brain of a man who
viii not take q county paper.

Not AFRAID. D.-The king of Dahomey
wrote TO Commodore Hewett that he
thought very little of England's power,
and that her punishment of his neighbor
of Ashantee was 80 trifing that he cares
very little whether the troops go up the
country or not, as they fear fever too
much, and are only fit to burn houses
and then run away.
