Colonel Patton thought that it would be
improper to take vote on such an i'm

Four LIGHTS THAT EoUALLED TWELVE
HUNDRED CANDLEs.-The hundreds OF pas
sengers hurrying to and fro from trains at
the Pennsylvania railroad depot last eve
ning found the immense dep0t-shed ifu-
minated to degree OF light equal almost to
that of day. This was the result OF an exhl-
bition OF a powerful dynamo-electrlcai ma
chine. The lights, four IN NUMBER: were
placed at different points in the depot and
cast q brilliant radiance over every object.
The four lights equalled 1900 candles. The
upper carbon burns out at the rate OF over
one inch per hour and costs two cents per
inch, and this is the sole cost OF running the
machine, except the expense Of fuel for the
engine. North American,

A Beautiful Extract.

THE glory of summer has gone blythe
beautiful greenness has become withered
and dead. We're this all-were there no as
sociations of moral desolatlon-of faded
hopes-of hearts whitening in the bosoms
of the living-connocted with the decaying
scenery around us, we would not indulge in
a moments melancholy. The season of
flowers will come again-the streams will
flow gracefully as before-the trees will
again toss their cumbrous heads of green
ness to the ~sunlight-and by messy stone
and winding riyulet the coming blossoms
will start up at the bidding of their guaI-
dian. But the human heart has no change
like that of nature. 10 has no returning
spring-tinle. Once blighted in its hour of
freshness, it bears forever the mark of the
spoiler. The dews of affection may fall.
and the gentle rain of sympathy be lavished
upon it-but the stone root of blighted
feeling will never again waken into life
nor the crushed flowers of hope blossom
with their wonted beauty.

Can a Wife Hire her Husband

A NOVEL question presented itself before
Judge Schenck, at Asheville, North Caro-
lima, the other day. At the spring term of
Buncombe Court, Judge Furches sentenced
one Shaft to imprisonment in the county
jail for six months. After he had remained
in Jail n month, the county commissioners,
having seen the recent acts of assembly al
lowing them to hire out c~onvicts to the pub
lie works, or, " individuals" proceeded to
hire Shaft out to his wife for five dollars
per month, and Shaft moved his quarters
to the old domicil as the prisoner and
" hireling " of his wife. The matter being
now presented by the solicitor to the court,
his honor ordered that Shaft be committed
to prison as NJ escaped convict, holding
that though the letter of the law had been
complied with, it was a violation of its
spirit and meaning, and a virtual nullifica.
ton of the sentence Of the court. Capt.
McLoud, who is the prisoners counsel, has
appealed to the Supreme Court.-NaTIOtte

obtaining information for Prosecution.

The manner adopted by large numbers
OF detectives. of obtaining information for
a prosecution. is often disgracefully con-
temptible. The suspected, though often
innocent, is made a victim to crime and
misdemeanors, through the wicked, cum
ming ingenuity of the detective. The fol-
lowing, from the London Chemist and Drug
gIst, is only n among thousands Of instan-
ces:
"a chemist at Hugely was lately en-
trapped into selling without a witness some
arsenic to a police constable unknown to
him; the constable made representation that
the arsenic was for an old customer, and he
admitted that these representations were
false, but said he had been instructed to
deceive the chemist by the chief constable.
The case was defended by Mr.. Glaisyer, the
solicitor to the Chemists and Druggists
Trade Association, who showed that this

Those who commit crime seldom look at
more than one side of the alance-sheet
Satan always shows the gilded side of sin,
and that side only, when he tempts men {;
and when they are drawn away by their
own lusts, they take into account only the
profit they hope to derive from an evil
course. How otherwise could SO many in
telligent men cover themselves with dis.
grace and plunge their families into q sea
of wretchedness for the doubtful enjoyment
of ill-gotten gains. We wish every young
man, and every old man as well, could
examine the balance sheet.
