Beginning OF Thy Sorrows, Little
Heart.

JUST after sunset yesterday bright
faced little girl, attended by a playful
blank-and-tan pup, was at the pump at
Seventh and Walnut streets. Near by,
on the curbstone, were two sparr0ws
chirping cheerily. The pup made
dash at them, and much to his delight
one of them was unable to fly. It was
a young one, and the other was the
mother. Seeing the danger of her
young the old bird resorted to the usual
devices to attract the enemy to pursue
her, throwing herself upon the ground
in front of him, tluttering almost in his
face and crying in distress. Thorough
ly excited and somewhat confused the
black-and-tan dashed first at one and
then at the other. The little girls
heart was touched for the birds, and
calling at the pup she started in pur-
suit Of him. Dog, birds and girl, for
awhile all greatly excited. were flying
here and there about the gutter, now
on the pavement and again on the street.
Finally, just as the pup pounced upon
the young bird, his little mistress seized
him and drew him into her arms. For
an instant it seemed the young bird
weso S0SOu, Jul 1u0 pOOA eAlu6 was
frightened nearly to death, and espying
the sewer-opening in the curbing it flew
in, and nothing then could save it. The
little girls eyes streamed with tears;
she scolded and gave the pup an affec-
tionate sort of beating, and, putting
his head near to the opening, said in
most distressful tones: "See what you
have done, you wicked, wicked little
dog; you have drowned the poor little
bird-you have drowned the poor little
Bird" and when the mother bird flut-
tered around, looking and crying for
her young, she burst into fresh tears
and cried as if her heart would break.
A number of people witnessed the Incl
dent and there were no dry eyes on the
scene except those of the little pup

Memphis telegram says the fever there had
assumed . milder form and yielded quite read
lily to treatment. There were many indica-
ttOns of a revival of business in Vicksburg.
The excitement in Cairo, ILL.,, had subsidized,
and abscntces were returning to the city. The

John M. Woodwork, Surgeon-Gen-
cral of the United States Marine Hospital

fever question--as to the origin, ETC., of the
disease. lie states that Mrs. Elizabeth
Thompson, noble lady of New York, having
offered to contribute sufficient means to meet
the expenses of the proposed Commission, he
had appointed Prof. S. NJ. Bemis, M. d., of
New Orleans, jerome Cochran, M. d., of Mo-

had not yet been received, to act

be sufficient, or Congress SO direct, two or

attached to the Commission. George w.

ceivc and disburse the additional funds which
may bc contributed for the expense of the
Commission.
Liberal contributions were being re-

otherwise they might have DONE" the
gOd-fatherS" of events, as some one
has called them. This is as good q
generalization as many another of the
glittering family.
But it can readily be taken in pieces,
and then, on little closer inspection,
it will be seen that all those minute de-
tails which 60 to make up the mate
rails of vast revolutions, which shape
and tone an age, are only the outcome
of the thinkings and speakings and
writings and actings of the myriads of
busy mortals who have been living,
working and dying whereabouts. So
that we come round again from our
impression that the personal unit is of
almost inappreciable weight in the
world, to subscribe to Carlyle's ver-
dict, in the Essay on Voltaire-that
each ones earthly influence, which
has had commencement, will never
through all ages, were he the very
meanest of us, have an end. What is
done is done; has already blended it
self with the boundless, everything, ev-
er-working universe, and will also work
there, for good or for evil, openly or
secretly, throughout all time. The life
of every man is as the well-spring of a
stream, whose small beginnings are in
deed plain to all, but whose Interior
course and destination, as it winds
through the expanses of infinite years,
only the Omniscient can discern. Will
it mingle with neighboring rivulets as
a tributary; or receive them as their
sovereign? - We know not; only
in either case we know its path is to
the great ocean; its waters, were they
but q handful, are here, and cannot be
annihilated or permanently held back. :"

Estimating Measures.

1t is often useful to have q few ap-
proximate data to deduce weights and
measures from. Here is q correct Ia
BILE, which, however, does not aim at
great accuracy, but may serve to make
a rough estimate when it is necessary
to reduce measures:
A pint of water weighs nearly 1
pound, and is equal to about "a cubic
inches, or a square box 8 inches long,
8 inches wide and 8 inches deep.
A quart of water weighs nearly 2
pounds, and is equal to square box
Of about by inches and 81 inches
deep.
A gallon of water weighs from 8 to
10 pounds, according to the size of
the gallon, and is equal to a box by 6
inches square, and 6, z or u inches
deep.
A cubic foot of water weighs nearly
63 pounds (more correctly ga pounds),
and contains from to 8 gallons, &C.
cording to the kind of gallons used.
A peck is equal to box 8 by 8
square and 8 inches deep.
A bushel almost fills box IL by IL
inches square and "a inches deep, or 2
cubic feet.
A barrel of water almost fills q box 2
by 2 feet square and II feet deep, or s
cubic feet.

Enduring Effect Of Individual Actions.

The biographers and historians have
not quite decided whether individual
lives shape the movement of events, or
are shaped by them. It is not easy,
perhaps not possible, to determine this
question. In one view, the individual
man is almost cipher. Taking a
broad survey of historic changes and
developments, discovering thus that
the harvests which we and others are
now reaping have come from the
sprouting of countless seeds scattered
far and near along the ages, we grow
very lowly-minded, and are quite ready
to confess that the agency of any one
man or woman upon the grand result
cannot amount to much. Taking out
the names that figure in capitals in the
chronological tables-the Mohammeds,
Luthers, Napoleons, Washingtons, who
may be called, with more Or less OBJ
vious truthfulness, the fathers of new
dfspensations, political OF religious

81 dunno, was thinkin' spell ago
that I might draw out her feelings, if
she has any, by jumpin' into the river,
though l kinder hate to wet up this
Sunday suit"
The policeman held whispered con-
sultation with William, and the result
was that the young man went back to
the girl and said:
Emily, l think you want to give me
the cold shake. Heaven knows how
love you, and can't stand this no long,
.er! Emily, take my ring and my pocket
book, for I'm going to jump into the
cruel rivers
"Humphr' replied Emily, as she re-
ceived his wealth and bit into the solid
side of her apple.
Goodbye, false one-don't look for
my bOdy!' exclaimed William as he
started for the dock and leaped down
into the narbor-Master's boat out Of
sight.
"Man overboard-saveh im-where's
the life-preserver!' called out a man
with voice like thunder stolm.
There was shouting and running to
and fro, but Emily never even looked
around. Throwing away the core of
her apple she slowly opened the big flat
wallet, turned over the several pieces
of old scrip, and walking up to fruit
stand, she said:
"rll take ten cents worth of raw
peanuts
She was putting them in her pocket
when William looked over the dock,
noticed that the crowd was laughing,
and he crawled out of the boat with the
remark: "It's a dead failure and
know it! I'm II shook man, thrown
overheard for some fellow who wears a
standing collar, and now the only thing
left me is revengcr'
"She takes it very COOL" observed
a policeman as William reached his
feet.
"Cool! There she sits, using up my
money and chawing peanuts, thinking
I'm corpse; yes, she's got the heart
of tiger, sir, and if l had them sew
enty cents in that pocket-book I'd lick

Effect Of Electricity on Vegetation.

PROBABLY everyone who has entered
a wood or forest has noticed the
stunted or scraggy growth of the un-
derwOOd, and the cause of that pecu-
liar condition has always been attri-
buted to the fact that the shrubs or
smaller trees were Overshadowed by
the foliage of the larger ones and de-
prived Of the light and air necessary
to their full development. NJ. Gran
deau, Professor of the Ecole Fores-
there, states that his researches on the
subject led him to the conclusion that,
although a certain effect was to be
attributed to that cause, it was not
sufficient to account for the great de-
probation in the vegetation. After
long reflection he came to the conclu-
sion that the large trees acted as con-
ductors of electricity, and thus de-
prived the underground of an element
necessary to their full development.
In order to test his views he tried a
series of experiments on various plants,
but we need only refer to one, which,
although not the most striking, will
fully elucidate the principle he ad-
vances, the means he employed and
the results obtained. In April, 1877,
he took two tobacco plants, each
weighing three and half grammes,
and having four leaves. They were
both planted in boxes containing
mould of identical quality, and placed
side by side in a position favorable to
heir growth. But one of them had
placed over it cage, consisting Of
four iron rods one meter fifty cent?
meters high, joined at the top and
covered with wire gauze, which per-
mitted the free circulation of air, light
and water, but completely protected
the plant from the action of atmos-
pheric electricity. They were left UNI
interfered with until the middle of Au-
gust, when the results obtained were
as follows: The plant in the open air
had attained height of three feet five
inches, while the other was only two
feet four inches; the former weighed
273 grammes and the latter lao
grammes; when dried, their respective
weights were thirty grammes and fiji
teen and a half grammes. Similar ex-
periments made with maize and wheat
gave precisely analogous results, SO
that M. Grandeur has come to the
conclusion that the electricity of the
atmosphere is equally necessary to
vegetation as sunlight, air and water,

An Interesting Legal Decision.

Two advertisements of Masters sale
were published in the Dover, N. j., In
der. On the day of the sale the de-
PENDANTS protested against it, declaring
that the sale was not legal, the notice
thereof having been published in a
newspaper using a ''patent outside"
The Master ordered the sale to take
place. The defendants filed petition
in chancery to set aside the sale, al
leging the reasons given above. The
petition raised the issue as to whether
q newspaper using "patent outside"
printed outside the State, was a news
paper printed in the State in which
legal notices might be legally adver-
tised. The following is true copy of
the decision of Chancellor Runyon and
Vice-Chancellor Van Fleet, and very
clearly settles the question relative to
the legality of such advertising:

Parental Love.

Few stories told of the horrors of the
famine in China were more horrible
than those which represented parents
selling their children that they might
gain few coin with which TO get food
and continue their wretched lives tor a
few days longer. Men and women,
made savage BY hunger, and, at their
best, lacking in that tenderness of SEN
timent for their children that is part of
the culture of the family as found in
Christian countries. were thought to be
shown at their worst in that fierce trait.
Yet, how much better people are, a
great deal nearer home, may be guessed
when we note that in England the pa
pers are just now discussing the opera
ton of the law to prevent the insurance
of the lives of children. It is believed
that the small amount of money that
is made dependent by insurance upon
the lives of little ones-and made pay
able if they die-not only reconciles
parents to the most distressing mortal
ity in their families, but even makes
them Indifferent to the ordinary precau-
tions for the prevention of disease and
the ordinary methods of avoiding ia
tai result. BY law, it is already for
hidden to place upon the life of an in
FAINT more than six pounds, or thirty
dollars, and, nominally, this is intended
to give il handsome funeral, in case
it does die; but it is believed that anx-
iety about the funerals of well children
does not account for the extent to which
these assurances are made. As q por-
ton of the money must certainly 60 for
a funeral, when it is collected, the mar
gin between the sum SO spent and thirty
dollars, must be small; SO that, if the
English papers reason accurately on
this subject, the money actually gained
cannot vary greatly between England
and China in England there is not
q famine.-N. Y. Herald.
