cIRCuMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

The arrest and confession of Cox, the
murderer of Mrs. Hull, of New York,
which has been the mystery par excel,
lence of the New York papers for the
last fortnight, shows what an awful re.
Bponsibility rests upon a jury that pro,
nounces upon the guilt of a person ac.
cused of crime, the proof of which is
wholly circumstantial. We doubt
whether the majority of those persons
who had derived their information of the
murder in question from the enterprising
newspapers of that city had not decided
in their own minds that the husband o.
the lady was the true murderer, and bu'
for the folly of the negro, who did com
NIT the crime, in offering some of the
stolen jewelry for sale in Boston, and hi
detection and arrest, would have con
tinued to 50 think to the end of the chap
ter.

BANKRUPTCY IN HIGH PLACES.

Between France and England's de-
mands the unfortunate Khedive's race
seems to be nearly run. They will not
forgive him his debts, nor even the in
terest thereon, and unless his Sovereign
Prince, the Sultan, has the moral and
physical strength to keep him in his Vice
Royal seat Ismaci Paaha must step down
and out. The Khedive's is one of the
most notable cases of a man burning his
candle at both ends on record. Ten years
ago he was accredited as being the rich
est man in the world and as in the enjoy
ment OF the grandest annual income.
But he drew too heavily on his sources
of wealth and squandered that wealth
in the most unproductive manner.
Thirty-siX palaces Of royal magnif-
cenee, stocked with harems and count
less servants, consumed the money faster
than he could extort it from suffering
people, and soon these increasing extor-
tions destroyed the producing classes as
mercilessly as would pestilence. The
best labor of the country was drafted
Into the personal service of the Viceroy
taxes upon the diminishing products
were proportionally increased, until the
fertile valley of the Nile became almost
rs a desert and its villages were filled
with starving and despairing people,
And now it looks that the man who
has wrought all this evil must abdicate--
go. If England and France say that he
must, he must-and the sick man on
the Bosphorus can not save him. 1t is
rumored that both Germany and Austria
will unite in the demand for an early
Rbdication, unless their claims are imme-
diately paid; but the unhappy Prince
has passed the limits of borrowing on
his realty and his personality has long
since been "spouted." He can no longer
visit his "uncle" with any hopes of
raising the wind 1t looks sad, but who
will mourn for Ismael now?

A RAIN OF FROGS.
[Danbury (Conu.) News. !


There was a heavy rain storm last
night This morning an extra
ordinary spectacle was presented on
the Long Ridge road, at the reservoir OF
the Bethel Water Company. The road,
and the banks thereof, for distance OF
eighty rods, swarmed with frogs. These
animals were scarcely an inch in length
They were in constant motion, and yet
50 immense in quantity as to be unable
to get out OF the way Of passing teams
Mr.. Major Wood and wife drove through
them, finding it impossible to pass with
out doing so. Mr.. Wood says the mum
Der of the frogs could be estimated at
millions. The ground as far as the eye
could reach was covered by them. They
undoubtedly descended in the rain last
night, and each one must have descended
on its head, as none of them appeared to
know where they were or where they
were going.
DESTROYING CRICKETs WITH HOGS.

A few weeks ago, from the north and

crickets were colling in to devour and
des;<ay what grain and grass our farmers
expected to harvest this dry season. To
stand them off nearly all the hogs in the
valley have been got together and are
being bearded to meet them. The hogs
are getting the best of the fight, and are
fattening in their onward march.
NOVEL TREATMENT BY A BAY STATE

DR.. Trombly, local French physician,
says he has cured case of scarlet fever

at the child's mouth. After each frog
had inhaled sufficient of the breath it
was put into the water, where it vomited
and was all right again. 1t was he who
cured Pete Aubrey's leg with vivisected
cats. The cats had only a few seconds
suffering, as the moment the inwards
were out the feline spirit took its flight.

of the brain causes Nervous diseases; that the
young minds are crammed with much unin-

artificial /; that the present system forms hao-
its Of iDdOlence, aud that the dlscOmfnrts
arising from eeden,ary confinement, are often
the occasion for punishment, hatred for the
schools and truancy. The committee holds
that children should not be admitted in the
schools under theage of seven. At whatever
age they are admitted the hours OF confine
ment and intellectual effort should be realty
shortened. The children in primary schools
should not be confined 20 their seats more
than twenty minutes ut q time, at the end Of
