The Final Scene-- ITos Pat. Hester Guiltye
The day before his execution, Hester part
ed with his family, and the scene is thus de-
scribed:
Hester was tested to-day in manner here
tofore untried. His three daughters and
two sons-in-law arrived late last night by a
road wagon, having travelled twenty-seven
miles. His other son-in-law and daughter
returned home last night. Early this morn
ing, they, together with their mother, pro-
ceeded to the prison, and was admitted to
his cell. Hester rose from his couch as the
door swung open, and discovering his
daughters, who were comedy in feature and
we'll attired, he staggered forward, trembling
in every limb, and was met in the centre of
his cell by his children,who threw their arms
around his neck and implanted hot kisses of
love and affection upon his cheeks. Their
screams Of despair and heartrending sobs
filled the prison and penetrated into its
farthest recesses. The condemned man
could not find voice to respond to these
tokens of fidelity, but the swelling tide of a
husband and fathers love burst its bonds
and flood of tears trucking down his livid
cheeks indicated sentiments his heart was
beating to express. There was but little
conversation upon the subject of the dreaded
event, the burden of the talk being confined
to the statement that Hester will die an IN
nocent man. The grief of the youngest
daughters, sixteen and eighteen years Of
age, was uncomfortable and hysterical.
TULLY's CONFESSION.
FULLY made the following confession to
one of his attorneys. short time before his
execution: concerning this crime / can't
say am innocent. can't say any of the
party is innocent. You can make Pat Hes
ter innocent if you like, but he was there.
He was there all the'night at Tom Donahue's
saloon, and he gave his pistol to Kelly, and
he was at the toll gate that morning. Kelly
swore to some lies, but the most he said
was true. Neither Hester nor McHugh told
me to do the deed. What done was done
of my own accord, but Hester was body
guard and McHugh was county delegate, and
if they had said the thing should not be
done they could have stopped it. It wasn't
so much the order Creferring to the Ancient
Order of Hibernians) as it was whisky that
led me into it. IF I had followed my early
teachings never would have got into this
trouble When the trial first began would
have pleaded guilty, but had no lawyet
and no money to pay one, and
didI' t know what to do, so I pleaded not
guilty, as the others did, when I knew it was
a lie. Would have made statement long

Miscellaneous Items.

As a result of his observations of the
transit of Mercury, DR.. Peters reiterates
his disbelief that there is such a planet
as Vulcan, and says that the present
transit shows ne perturbations of Mer-
curry that could be ascribed to the infu-
ence of an inner planet. He thinks,
however, that mercury is surrounded by
an atmosphere, as faint vibration was
discernible on the circumference of the
spot, similar to that on the SUMS limb.
A Philadelphia has just improved
the steamboat propeller. There are four
wheels, two on each side of the boat,
run on endless steel cables from one
wheel to the other, like a belt over two
pulleys, both ends of each paddle being
securely fastened into triangular
shaped piece OF iron which works like a
cog, dropping into notches in the iron
wheel at proper intervals as it revolves.
Thus there are continually several pad
dies in the water all working at once,
instead OF only one, as in the ordinary

The Earth Not a True Globe.

Norman Lockyer says, in Good Words :
"The earth is not true globe because OF
its former plastic condition before the
formation and cooling of the surface.
When the globe was soft, it was more Or
less yielding, and then the rotation of
the earth, to which I have referred,
tended to drive of, as it we've, the mat.
ter in the equatorial regions; so that the
distance through the center of the earth
between the two surfaces az far as pos
sible removed from the poles of rotation,
or those parts of the earth which the
imaginary axis comes through, is rather
greater than the distance between the
two points where the axis comes to the
surface. The reason OF that fact, and
that it must have been so, has been
beautifully established by several expert.
ments. That the earth was once hotter
than it is now is therefore proved, both
by the irregularities OF its surface and
by its shape as whole. We must not
imagine, however, that there has been
but one change. The minor irregulari-
ties are all gradually changing by inner
energies and the action of air and water,
and it may be that even the largest ones
are young compared with the age of the
planets surface. Nor does the change
end here; the equatorial protuberance
itself may but after all mark point in
great cycle of change, which has COM
PEELED the earth to rotate now about one
axis and now about another. Mathema-
ticians consider it highly probable that
the axis of the earth may have been in
ancient times very differently situated to
what it is at present, and, indeed, that it
might have gradually shifted shrough
ten, twenty, thirty, forty Or more degrees
without at any time any perceptible sud-
den disturbance of either land or water.
Thus it appears that nature prevents
catastrophes by the very hugeness of the
scale on which she works.

PauperisIn I'm Ireland.

ase supported by public relief; and the
number of paupers, We are told, is in
creasing at the rate of 1900 a month
To support this vast army of paupers the
labor of Ireland is taxed $4,000, 900 a
year. Of this sum the salaries of work
house officials and the cost of the pauper
prisons eat up nearly $4,000, 900. It
used to be said that Ireland was over
populated. Well, famine killed off
100000 of the people, and scattered
100000 more all over the globe; yet
here is Ireland to-day in her rags with
her begging-bag over her shoulder, and
her beggar'a hand extended for relief.
Ireland has natural resources sufficient
to support comfortably 100000 of
people. Independent of the millions of
acres which have been robbed from the
people, there are millions eff reclaimable

Testing for a Distant Earthquake.

Pfof. Richard Owen, of Bloomington,
Ind, is engaged in series of experi~
ments on the magnetic currents OF the
earth in that locality, and has sent to
the Tribune, some account of his results.
Daily observations are taken eff the per-
turbations of the magnetic currents of
both earth and air, and these are kept on
record. The news of a severe earth
quake at Puerto Cabello, extending to
Caracus, on the night of April 18th,
having come to hand, Prof Owen con-
suited his record for that day and near
est hour, and found that the magnetic
flow from SIS. E. to N. N. W, was then
more variable than on any former OBJ
served occasion, This indicated mag
netic storm at that time in the earth's
cruise, having direction along a line
from the locality of the earthquake to
the place of observation in Indiana, a
distance VI 1900 miles. There was no
unusual disturbance of the galvanometer
on April 10Th in other currents than the
one named. The needle settled to its
place readily with currents from E. to
W. and from 8. E. to N. w. The coin
cidence of the disturbance with the earth
quake in time and direction is not conclu~
sive evidence of a connection, but it is
certainly noteworthy. Pro essor Owen
has been able to predict storms from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours before
their arrival, by means of his magnetic
observations. The range of DETECTION OF
the galvanometer which is observed in
the atmospheric current, is from six to
seven degrees in quiet weather to thirty,
five or thirty~six degrees in storm. In
the earth currents, when a storm is
approaching, the needle settles for few
moments only in any given DETECTION,
and keeps up rapid oscillation for the
most part through fifty to sixty degrees
of arc. The apparatus for obtaining the
direction of earth currents consists in
part of an underground iron tank, and
eight iron rods. The rods are driven SIX
feet into the ground, at distances of rs to
100 feet from the tank, and disposed at
the compass points from the tank as
center. When one wire leading from the
tank and another from rod, meet in a
galvanometer, the earth current is indi>
Gated in respect to a. given direction.
The prevailing current at the locality is
s. E. to n. W. 1t is resultant of COM |
paratively weak currents trem E. to W. |
that give a DETECTION of eight to twelve
degrees, of currents from S. S. E. to N.
N. W, which usually give twenty to
twenty-five degrees DETECTION. |

Curious Facts of Miscegenation.

The child of colored parents Of differ
tints, such as quadroon and mulatto, or
mulatto and black, will be nearer the
tint of the darker parent. If both
parents are of the same color, the child
will be shade darker, and singularly
enough, the second child will be darker
than the first, the third darker than the
second, and 30 on to the last. Ia other
words, colored community left to itself,
is fatally destined to return to The
original African black after limited
number OF generations. Thus, while
each new alliance with an individual of
pure Caucasian blood brings the negro a
step nearer to the white standard, the
reverse is the case the moment the
Caucasian element is withheld, and the
color retrogrades from light to dark.
A curious proof of this is found in
observations made during SEINE time in
one OF the islands. A mulatto woman
had female child by white man this
young girl gave birth to quadroon bv
8 white father, and this recrossing with
the white race was kept up for six
generations. An identical process of
recrossing had been simultaneously
noticed in. another plantation. The
children. resulting from the seventh
crossing in both of these families were of
remarkable physical beauty; they had
blonde hair, their complexion was of
such transparent fairness that they
might have been taken for Albinos, but
for the vigor and gracefulness of their
limbs and their brilliant intellect. The
most experienced eye could not have
detected in them the slightest indication
Of their African origin. They inter-
married. Their children were dark
and the children of their
children are very dark mulattoes.
