GENERAL NOTES.

Commenting on the case of Edward
Galley who was transported on false
charge of murder forty or more years ago
lately released, the Times was reminded
of the defective and imperfect gHaran
tees Of justice" which the Judicial proce-
lure of that time afforded Thereupon II
correspondent sent the following as an il
lustration: Not onl Y was the law bloody
in the extrema, but the procedure was i'll

The speedy arm nf Justice
Was never known TO IAN;
The gaol supplied the gallows,
The EailoWs thinned the gaOl
And sundry wise precautions
The sages of the law
Discreetly framed. whereby they almel
To keep the rOuges IN awe
For, lest some sturdy criminal
False Witnesses should bring
His witnesses We're moi allowed
To swear To anything.
And lest his willy advocate
The court should Overreach-
HIS advocate was not allowed
The privilege of speech
Yet, such was the humanity
And wisdom of the law,
THAT, il in his Indictment there
Appeared TO he a ilaw,
The court assigned him cOunseilOrs
To argue on the doubt.
Provided he hiDiss,t had first
Contrived to point 1t out.
Yet lest their mildness SHOULD peTChance
BE crafty abused,
To sh5ir him rte Indictment they
Most sturdily refused,
But still, that he might understand
The nature Of the charge,
The same was in the Latin tongue
Read out 10 him at large.
Twas thus the law Kept rogues at awe,
Gave honest men protection,
And Justly famed, by all was named,
of wisdom the perfection.

The Stock Regions of Texas.

The section of country along the Gul
coast, lying between Houston and Gal
weston, and extending far around to the
Rio Grande, is the famous pasture region
of Texas. The country consists of open
land, skirted everywhere by the blue
horizon. Its fertility and luXuriant
crops of grass, the even temperature
through the year, and the numerous
small streams of pure water, make it
cmphatically the paradise not 'of
the Peri" )" but of the cows. Some of the
cattle farms of this country are respect
able principalities in their way, rivaling
many OF the petty kingdoms of the
German States, and the proprietors are
literal lords of all they survey. From
100, 600 to 100000 acres, all in one farm,
are no unusual thing and this, too,
under fence, where roam thousands on
thousands of sleek and saucy beeves. 1t
is very kingdom of cows. The owners,
700. are live, energetic men, awake to
the importance of having the best
breeds, and accordingly have imported
Brahmin and Syrian bulls, which make
most excellent cross on the Texas
stock. Durham and Devon stock do
not succeed well, being too subject to
fever. Great as it already is, it is be-
lieved that the cattle business in Texas
is yet in its infancy. The European de-
mand for fresh meats will tend TO stimu-
late and enlarge the business.-NetO York
Mercantile Journal.

How to See a Seed Grow.

Many little folks wonder how seed
grows. Some boys and girls have taken
up the seed after planting it in the
ground, and thereby prevented it from
taking root.
We NAV. however, see the roots shoot
ing out from the hyacinths and other
bulbs that we grow in glasses in our
windows. And in this way we may see
other seeds sprout and shoot.
A gentleman, to crafty his little sons,
took n glass tumbler, round which he
tied bit of common lace, allowing the
lace to hang or droop down in the center
of the glass. He then put enough water
i'm. the glass to cover the lower part of
the lace, and in this hollow be dropped
two sweet-peas. The little boys were
told to look at them every day, and they
would learn what was going on under
ground with similar seeds.
Next morning the boys hurried from
the breakfast-roOm to look at the glass
with the peas in the south window.
They found that while they were fast
asleep the little brown skins had burst,
and tiny white sprout was seen on the
side of each pea. The little sprouts
soon grew long enough to reach through
the holes in the lace, and on the top OF
the peas two little green leaves were
seen.
In time the boys saw the white thread
like roots reach almost to the bottom of
the glass, while the green leaves grew
large and gave way to a stalk or stem.
In this way most seeds may be seen TO
grow.-NelO York. Observer.

TOads.

Many gardeners already appreciate the
valuable services of the common toad,
and afford them protection for their
misunderstanding propensities, while as
many more, perhaps, are Ignorant OF
their usefulness. To the latter class it
may be interesting to know that tOads
live almost wholly upon slugs, cater
pillars, beetles and other inse cts, making
their rounds at night when the farmer
is asleep-and the birds, too-and the in
sects are supposed to be having it all
their own way. English gardeners
understand these facts so well that toads
are purchased at so much dozen and
turned loose, and the best of it is, that
the toads generally stay Mt home, so that
the gardener is not troubled with buying
his toads over again every few days.
The toad can be tanned, and will even
learn to know Its master" and come
when called the writer has not only
had such pets himself, but could give
other instances of toad tanning that have
come under his observation. Toads can
be made very useful about the house,
and will do not little good in destroying
cockroaches, flies and other household
pests.-NetO York Tribune.

Act three, most regularly he comes around;

FURIOUS FLIES.
Can any one tell us why flies were made
Or what their uses may be?
Or why the ghosts of them cannot be laid?
If you make on one an onslaught and raid
Nine hundred and ninety you'll see.
William H. Lord, of Denmark, Me-,
was prostrated last autumn by typhoid
fever, which left him with the muscles
of the right hand so contracted that the
nails penetrated the flesh of the palm,
and he had despaired of recovering the
use of his hand and had decided to have
the little finger amputated. One day
recently, while gathering pine balsam,
he accidentally stuck the point of his
knife into the hand near the base of the
thumb, inflicting deep flesh wound,
from which blood of almost inky black
ness flowed, when the strained muscles
Immediately relaxed, and the use of the
hand was entirely restored,
Yesterday noon, up at Mrs. McKer-
rels boarding house, one of the young
gentlemen coming in a little late, seized
his soup plate and airily attempted to
! balance it on the end of his finger and
| twill it around above his head, like the
gentleman in the circus. But, alas it
went off and came down on his head and
broke and nearly drowned him, and
when he arose and went to his room he
shook out of his curling locks chunks of
| boiled potato. and slices of onion, and
slabs of cabbage, and suggestions of ba-
| con, and storms of rice, and flakes of
grease, and sprays of sage and one thing
and another He said, after the explo-
sion, that he "didn't know it was
loaded. "-HdUkeye.
The following was a New Haven col

self or Others, without first gaining the
consent of her parents, shall pay to the
plantation for the firsy offence, 40s., the
second. "a, for the third shall be i'm
pr oned or eorporeously punished. "
An old record hls just been found show
ing that under this law Jacobeth Muir
tine and Sarah Tuttle got into trouble
by setting down on chestle together,
| his arme around her waiste, and her
arme upon his shoulder or about his
neck, and continuing in that sinful pos
ture about half an hour, in which time
he kyssed her and she kyssed him, or
they kyssed one another, as ye witnesses
| testified"
