on board when poor, miserable crea- ture was brought off to us from Callao. At first l took no notice of him, until one day, observing 8 peculiar cast in his eye, surveyed his countenance more narrowly. I thought I recognized him, and asked one of the midshirmen if he knew his name.
 "He calls himself Johnson" was the reply; "but Captain Smith says that he knew him when he was Q shipmaster, and that his real name is Horncastle.
 In few days the new conner attracted little attention; then in the dead of the night, was heard terrible cry which startled even the wardroom officers in their berths. No one knew from whence it proceeded till it had been heard sev- eral successive nights, and then it was traced to the hammock in which Horn castle slept.
 What awful crime has this man com mitted ?" was now the common question among the crew.
 "Give me rum more rum" the poor wretch would cry as he walked the deck during the still watches of the night.
 Rum was not given him, and madness soon supervened.
 A cage was made for him on the berth deck, where in his insane rawlings, he initiated the cries and moans which I, alas recognized too well and when, at last the wretch died, after having become a mere skeleton, everyone queried:
 "What did it mean that he went crazy when rum was kept from him, and why did he say so much about negroes and empty casks?"
 Such were the questions asked when the man died ; and the only person who could have answered them, rem aimed si- lent till now.

Not Diphtheria.

At meeting of the Section of Theory and Practice of the New York Academy of Medicine, the subject of prevalent forms of sore throat and their treatment was discussed. 1t was shown that diphtheria, rightly so called, has been very rare this season, and that the most common throat difficulty at present is follicular tonsilitis. This disease has been little less than an epidemic in the upper part of the city during the past year. While 1t begins very suddenly and with severe symptoms, it is not really dangerous, at least far less so than true diphtheria. It begins with high temperature, headache and pain in the back. Sometimes these symptoms occur either before or simultaneously with soreness of the throat, and after ten or twelve hours there is more or less in- fammation of the fauces. Small rounded masses appear on the follicles, in num- Der from SIX to eight or ten, as large as pins head, and seldom running together. In diphtheria the membrane is continuous. Professor J. Lewis Smith, who gave this description of the disease, said that 1t would often run through nearly whole family like a disease with a specific cause. He had examined the masses on the follicles microscopically to determine their true character, but had not found them to be of vegetable or fungus nature. He thought that sewer gases undoubtedly caused diphtheria at times and perhaps this other disease as we'll.
 Dr. Peters spoke of throat diseases from a historical standpoint, mentioned that Drs. Willard Parker, Sabin and himself had reported the first cases ot diphtheria in New York in 1844 Previous to this it had been reported il Boston, Albany and San Francisco How it ever got to this country was stil mystery. He had known follicula1 tonsilitis for thirty years. It was ik' quinsy. A number Of other medica
 men spoke on the subject, each ad vancing some point which his own ex perience suggested.

A Handsome Costume.

A handsome costume displayed at New York opening was an evening dress of ivory satin and striped satin grena- dine with punches of pale pink moss rose buds on the stripe. The front con- sisted of rows of satin, above which fell deep fringe. The paniers of grena- dine, were looped very high upon the hips, and were alternately of satin and grenadine. The hounce in front was deep box-pIait edged with the satin stripe of the moss buds. The back was com posed entirely of grenadine, which fell like sashes upon the train. The lower Aounce of the train was fine kuite- plating of satin, above which was box plait of plain satin with bows of striped satin between. The neck and sleeves were finished with Breton lace. A din- ner dress of black brocade grenadine was also very noticeable. This was en- tirely of grenadine, except two narrow ! hounces of silk on the bottom of the skirt in front. This was made plain princesse, and without paniers. The lower part of front drapery was finished with a deep fringe. There was also a row of fringe across the front half way up. From the side came another row of fringe which was brought around to the end of the train. A deep hounce ol grenadine edged the round train. with a bias band of black satin, upon which fell the loopings of grenadine, and sils 1 sashes garnitured with fringe.

A Change of. Name.

He lived in New Hampshire, and his name was Ebenezer feathers. Ebe- nezer could be modified or modified to Eben, which was cheerful and melo- dious sound; but what can you do with feathers :? There seems to be no reason why Leathers should not sound as well as Montagu or Plantaganet, but the stubborn fact remains that it doesn't. Uttered seriously or affectionately, 1t suggests irony. Uttered lightly, Leath- CTS has a quality of chaff in it. Eben Leathers determined to be Eben Leath- CTS no longer. So he went to the Leg islature and prayed that he might be called something else-in fact, that here after he might be called Rutherford B. Hayes. The good-natured Solons granted it. He had all directories be- fore him where to choose, and he chose to be R. B. H. Now let him call his children after the Secretaries, and whst household cabinet he will have.

Judges Robes.

The official dress of the judges of England has, with some slight excep- tions, remained unchanged for many centuries. When Her Majest the Queen, some twenty years since, gave grand masquerade ballat Buckingham Palace, at which all the guests were directed to be arrayed in the costume of the reign of Charles H., two learned judges who attended, the late Lord Chief Justice Campbell and Baron Parke, congratu- lated themselves upon the trihing cost of their costumes. They had merely to purchase two black silk skull caps edged with white satin, to be worn instead of their ponderous " full-bottom George I. wig, polished boots with high red heels, and then donning their usual scarlet and ermine robes, they were in the dress of judges of tbe period. In deed, except in color, the state and criminal robes of the judges have re- mained almost unaltered since the time of Henry III. The colors have now long been fixed at black, purple, and scarlet; the black always trimmed with ermine, the purple always with "shot silk, or variable taffety, as it is called in the old books, and the scarlet with ermine in winter and spring, and with shot silk in the summer. In olden days the color varied with the taste of the reigning sovereign, out of whose ward robe the cloth, silk, and furs for the judges robes were furnished gratui- tously.
