star had passed between the earth and
the sun, and many even believed that q
huge mountain had sprung up, they
were not quito decided where, and OBJ
structed the light of the sun.
tits said that the Connecticut legisla-
ture being in session, the members be-
came terrified when they could not see
each others faces, and a motion was
made to adjourn, when Mr.. Davenport
arose and said:
''Mr. Speaker, it is either the day Of
judgement or it is not. If it is not there
is no need of adjourning. fit is, de-
sire to be found doing my duty. move
that candles be brought, and that we
proceed to business"
All the shivering, frightened people
began to look forward to evening, hop.
ing that as the moon rose full at nine
O'Clock, her light would penetrate the
gloom but all the children who coaxed
to sit up and see her, grew very sleepy,
their strained eyes were not rewarded by
her beautiful beams, for at eight in the
evening the darkness was total /; one
could not distinguish between the earth
and the heavens, and it was impossible
to see hand before ones face ....-i
1t was the nearest approach to the
Egyptian darkness that has been known
since that day, when "they saw not one
another, neither rose up any from his
place for three days." ff fms
Then all the weary children were sent
to bed after the most honest prayers they
had ever prayed, and the older people
sat up to watch for the light that never
before had appeared so glorious. 3 80
And never dawned fairer morning
than the goth of May, for the sun that
opened the flowers and mirrorred itself
in the dew-drops. brought the color to
the children's faces again, and filed
every heart with confidence.
The birds sang joyously, the cattle re-
turned to their pastures, the places Of
business were opened, and every one
went about his work more gentle toward
man and more grateful toward God.
After the darkness was passed, sew.
eral persons travelled about to gather al
possible information concerning thi'
memorable day, and DR.. Tenny wrote
an account of what he learned while OF
a journey from the east to Pennsylvania
He says the deepest darkness was in Els
sex county, Massachusetts, the lowe
part of New Hampshire, and the eastern
portion of Maine (where my great-grand
mother lived.) In Rhode Island anC
Connecticut it was not so great; in New
Jersey peculiar clouds we're observed
but the darkness was not uncommon, AN
in the lower parts of Pennsylvania moth
ing unusual was observed.
II extended as far north as the Anne:
lean settlements and westward to Alba
ny. but its exact limits could not be as
certained. ...
In Boston the darkness continue
fourteen or fifteen hours, varying in du
ration at other places. ~ ms

A W0MAN'S DEATH WOUND.

1t left upon her tender flesh no trace.
The murderer is safe. As swift as light
The weapon fell, and, in the summer night,
Did scarce the silent, dewy air displace.
Twas but a word. blow had been less base.
Like dumb beast branded by an iron white
With heat, she turned in blind and helpless
fight,
But then remembered, and with piteous face
Came back.
Since then the world has nothing missed
In her voice or smile. But she--each day
She counts until her dying be complete.
One moan she makes, and ever doth repeat,
"Oh lips which had loved and kissed and
kissed,
Did deserve TO die this bit,erest way ?"

refused, the election of new Governor
incites to fresh application. No gen.
eral principles governing the granting
or the refusal of such applications, can
be established and uniformly applied.
Such frequent applications keep the
convict in a state of constant expecta-
tion or disappointment. The uncer-
tainty of mind thus induced renders
prison discipline more difficult and less
effective. The law too, loses much OF
its terror for evil doers, from the uncer-
tainty which rises in regard to an even
and impartial execution of its penalties.
These reflections are suggested to my
mind by examination of the number of
pardons granted annually during the
last thirty-five years, list of which,
together with the number of commit
ments for each fiscal year ending Au-
gust 1st, is as follows:
1t will be observed that the commit
ments for the years 1877 and 1873 are
largely in excess of those of former
years. Tabular statement of commit
ments and pardOns.

the best. The view from this elevated
point is grand in the extreme. 1t en-
braces a glorious panorama of snow
clad peaks, with nearly dozen of the
larger lakes, the Lakes of Lucerne, Zue
and Lowerz being almost beneath the
feet of the beholder. The night was
dark and threatening but the morning
dawned clearer, and while clouds over
laid all the lakes and the near land
scape, the beauty of the sunrise among
the high mountain tops was enhanced.
On descending to Vitznau we took a
steamer for further excursion up the
lake to Brunnen and Fluelen, passing
on the way the famous Tell Chapel,
which is at the waterside, and several
other spots made famous in the times
of the Swiss hero. The apple episode
transpired at Altorf, two miles from
Fluelen. The scenery in this part Of
the lake is the finest of all, and is not
exceeded in grandeur on any of the
Swiss lakes. At Lucerne we had an
other organ concert. 1t took place at
the Cathedral, and the organist was P
Ambrose Meyer, well known musi-
clan. This instrument is nearly, if not
quite as good as the Freiburg organ,
and its Uo9 humdna is the sweetest and
most human we have ever heard. Oh
course we had the customary descrip-
tiOn of storm. Lucerne has literally
lion in the famous piece of sculpture
by waldsen, which commentaries
the bravery of the Swiss Guard at the
Tuilleries on the 10th of August, 1892
Another interesting object is the Glacier
Garden, where several great holes, oil
"glacier mills" have within the past
few years been uneaIthed. Two old
bridges which span the River Reuss are
adorned with curious paintings. One
series of these quaint pictures illustrates
the "Dance of Death"
From Lucerne to Zurich is railway
ride of only a couple of hours or So
and in the latter city we were very
pleasantly situated at the Hotel Belle
vue. An inspection of the library and
museum in the old Wasserkirche, visit
to the Gross Munster, and another to
the Arsenal with its fine collection OF
arms and armor, consumed an after
noon, and in the evening there was an
excellent concert ut the IOn-hdlle. An
excursion to the top of the Uetliberg, a
little mountain which lies near Zurich
and which commands a view of the high
peaks second only to that had from the
Rhigi-Kulm, filled out the next fore
noon very pleasantly, and then we
were off fol haffhausen, 35 miles dis
tant, to view the Falls of the Rhine
The River Rhine which at this point il
$50 feet wide, descends fifty or sixty
feet, and there is little island in the
centre which divides the cataract like
Goat Island at Niagara. The falls
viewed either from this island, or from
the opposite bank, which is very high
are very picturesque. ATHENIAN.

SNAKE "CHARM1NG" IN A WELsI

SNAKE "CHARMING" IN A WELSH
CHURCH.-A correspondent writes :
''On Saturday a gentleman visiting
BOrth Church saw large snake of a
brOwnish color on the floor at the foot
of the reading desk. He ran for assis-
tance, and Enoch Carter, villager, re-
turned with him and found the reptile
still there. Carter commenced opera
tions for its capture, but the snake, not
to be had, slipped down a hole. The
difficulty was how to get at it. Carter
suggested that the harmOnium should
be tried as a Charm The gentleman
first named was asked play. He did
so, and the music brought out the snake,
when Carter slipped moose over its
head and conveyed it alive into the vii
lage of Borth, where it was suspended
to water pipe in the public street,

sToNEKALL JACKSON AT WEST
PoIET.-General John Palmer, in a con-
tribution to the Philadelphia Weekley
ssTimes" gives the following description
of Stonewall .Jackson's appearance when
he arrived at West Point to undergo eA-
animation for admission as a cadet:
t'He was dressed in a suit OF jeans-olue
trowseas and vest, and cut away coat OF
brown. He wore 'stile' and shoes.
Boots would have been expensive for him
in his town. In his long arms, his sham
bling gait and his general appearance was
sonnet hing so ldicrous that shout went
I'D from the assembled things as he APP
peared on the ground for his first drill
But with this outre appearance he had
good, well shaped had, full broad fore
head, large, full and expressive br wn eyes,
a good mouth, which, when smiling, gave
an expression of great good-nature as well
as intelligence. This was Thomas j.
Jackson-Stonewall Jackson-Whose name
will live and whose memory will be cher
ished for many years to come in this coun-
try. He was near upon the age when it
would have been impossible for him to en-
ter the Military Academy. He was from
Clarksburg, Va; he had been a constable
even at his early age, and he was no doubt
something of man in his s'deestrict."
He had BEEN to common school, knew q
little of grammar, could add up column
of figures, but as to vulgar and decimal
fractions it is doubtful whether he had
ever heard of them.''

spoke of with evident qualification saying
''all that we need is to know each other
better and IN order to do that we must
meet Oftener." In alluSion to the silver
bill Secretary Sherman said to an honora-
lie member present, Mr.. Harris, of Va,
sit is reported amongst you all over there
in the House, that [ will not issue the sill
yer, but shall proceed al once to cola it
and have ascertained already that can
put out $3 100000 month with out inter
fering with the regular business of the
department. We also called upon
SECRETARY THOMPSON
and had long and agreeable tete tete
with him. The Secretary is a genial, old
fashioned gentleman, proud of his Vir-
ginia birth, and has many pleasant re-
collections of his youth spent in old Cul-
pepper. He intersperses his conversation
with amusing anecdotes and remi is
cences, among which was a ludicrOus diff
ficulty he got into at Lewisburg, West
Va, when youth. Passing through the
place on horseback he stepped into store
to purchased some little article, and offer
ed new ten dollar bill, which the merch-
ant at once pronounced a counterfeit. He
then produced several others, all new notes
on Culpeper bank, and all of which the
man pronounced counterfeit and TOOK
possession of, intimating that there must
be an investigation. Young Thompson,
knowing his money was good, became ex-
cited and appealed to the bystanders. An
old gentleman present, he could not recol-
lect his name, came 80 his aid and
taking charge of the money, went with
him to another business house in the vii
lage where the money was passed upon as
good. Mr.. Thompson's travelling COM
panion, one of the Withers' Of Virginia,
a relative of Senator " ithers, WAS very in
dignant and swore he would thrash the
man who had tried to arrest his friend as
ID couuterie1ter; but the man locked his
store and they could not get at him. How
ever, en- parting from him at Louisville
some weeks after, TO return, Withers said
Il mean to thrash that rascal at Lewis
burg f you as [ go back Thompson
did not see Witbers again until II years
after, when, a member of Congress- he met
him in Washington. and after warmly
shaking hands, he remarked with evident
satisfaction 81 did thrash that ID ras-
Cal for you"

Appeals, but this being already longer
