BATS AND THEIR WAYS.

Bats live their active lives in the night
when sunlight comes they fly away to
their holes, there to sleep until twilight
comes again, when they resume their Or
cupation Of insect killing. The female
bat has hard time Of it shei is the nest
and has to procure food for her young
until they are themselves able to fly. OF
ten have seen female, with her little
ones clinging to her breast, flying about
in search of food, and the young ones
were not so small either. How else
could they get alongP The old oLes
make no nest; if they vented to ever so
much they could not, and the chances
are that from, their wandering habits
they spend one day in one place and t.
next in another, Two or three miles dis
tant, Just as they happen to be when day
overtakes them; and ii they left their
young behind, the exact locality might
be forgotten. When the young ones are
able to shift for themselves, their moth
er's life is easier, and until winter comes
to kill their insect food, she lives luxuri-
ous. Then. when all nature is preparing
to put on the livery of winter, bats, in
stead Of leaving the scenes where they
have passed the summer, repair to their
haunts in the caves andwalls, and hang.
ing by their hind feet in little groups Of
five or six together, pass the season in
one unbroken sleep p-LOndOn Ndttrdli8t

BLIND JUSTICE.

A dispatch from Boston is as follows
There is strong reason for the supposi-
ton that Mrs, Nancy MADAM, who died
in East Cambridge Jail last week, thus
ending life sentence for the murder oi
Obadiah Jones, was innocent Of the
crime. She was formerly in Dedbam
Jail, but was transferred to East Cam
bridge in 1871. During all her imprison-
ment she has persistently maintained
her innocence, and reiterated the state
ment q few minutes before she died. On
one occasion, when she supposed herself
alone, she was overheard by one of the
matrons Of the prison praying, and the
whole burden Of her supplication was
that as God knew her innocence, it wo'd
be made manifest. On the Sunday be-
fore her death, at the service In the
prison chapel, she recited from memory
Chfist's sermon on the mount, and she
frequently expressed her forgiveness Of
ah1who had been concerned in her trial
and conviction. Her conduct during her
Imprisonment was admirable, and her
attention to what she considered her re-
ligious duty, was unvaried. At the trial
it was shown that the daughter, upon
whose evidence she was convicted, was
Of bad character, and had been living
the man, Obadiah Jones, who was muir
dered, and the presumption is that the
mother had no motive for the crime,
The daughter has never visited her in
prison. II is claimed that other facts
are In the pOgRegsiOn of tho aukhoritieh
which 90 fax toward proving that the
was innocent. 9''lf ONT 'a1Id'l''as1'hi'H no /

LAW OF sENsE.-Curious comments by
a Judge, even in the presence Of the
prisoner, though extremely rare, are not
unprecedented. Mr.. Justice Maule once
addressed phenomenon Of innocence
in smock frock in the following manner

you innocent; the counsel for the prose-
cution thinks yon innocent; think you
innocent, but q jury Of your own count.
rynen, in the exercise Of such common
sense as they possess, which does not
seem to be much, have found you guilty,
and it remains that I should pass upon
YOU the sentence Of the law. That sen
tence is that you be kepti imprisonment
for one day, and as that day was yester
day, you may now 90 about your busi.

scared, went about his business, but he
thought law was an uncommonly puz-

man. and his bad passions being uncon,
trolled nrompted him to commit many
unlawful acts. When the war enusu no

searched for far and near. Immense TO
wards we're offered for his apprehension,
hnt he was never captured, although AZ
varions times the Governor called OUT
the militia for the purpose Of having him
imprisoned, Numerous anecdotes are
related of him. In 1867 the Sherln OF
Washington county and posse OF men
surrounded house where be was cVh,

room. On another occasion he staid al
night at the house of Mrs, Brown, who
treated him very kindly, but whom he
had never seen before. Mrs. Brown was
afterward ill-treated by her husband
who was farmer. On hearing of this
ill-treatment Hildebrand rode up to
Brown while the latter was plowing in
the corn. field, and shot him dead. About
three years ago it was reported that
Hildebrand had died in some little town
near the Mississippi river, and the news
of his death was published in every jour

HOW TO CARE FOR CHILDREN.

Iwould like to bring a smile upon some
poor tired woman's countenance by tell
ing where my boy spent most of his time
when small. Our house was cold, and
did my work alone, SO we took a dry
goods box two eetsquare "a smaller one
would do nicely-put some carpet and
an old quilt in the bottom, borrowed
some castors from bedstead, so it could
be easily moved, and lastly, put in some
playthings and baby. For washing days
alone it would pay for itself, and besides
one can feel safe if up stairs or down eel
lar. The top was just high enough fol
him to zee out, and was also rasped
smooth, so he learned to walk by going
from side to side, never getting bumps
like children who walk by chairs. Never
mind, if it does cry at first as our good
old doctor said 1t. hurts the mother
worse to hear him than it does the child
to cry. But many children would be
quite contented for reasonable length
of ftime. Our box would not go through
the door, but I'll warrant the little ones
would enjoy having it out Of doors on a
warm summer day.
Keep the high chair tied to the table
leg at top and bottom, and when wash
ing your dishes, put the baby in that, ty-
ing him in, of course, and give him some
new plaything. do not mean that one
should always keep buying, but don't
givea child everything at once. Old tin
ware and rag dolls, chair for horse,
or pail Of rags to wash (without any
water), with a string across the chairs to
hang them on, is az good as all Broadway
can afford. Don't begin by putting out
of the child's reach articles that be can
not have, unless it be the shears and
butchers knife; but say, no, to him
firmly, and perhaps at first it is we'll to
take the child away from the object. If
he persists, slap his hands, and, finally,
if that is not enough, puthim In the box
or tie him up. AS he grows older, do
not give him lifelong horror of neat
ness, by always refusing him anything
because it makes litter or soils his
clothes, If Mrs, Grundy sheuld chance
to call, she will only find out that you
think more of your child's happiness
than you do of her opinion.
Make children's clothes plain and of
dark material so they can be washed
easily, and let them play in the sand, if
it be dry. 1t might not answer in the
city; but if you live in the country where
people are accustomed to 1t, begin taking
your children to church when young
Let them know, at first, that they can
not, under any consideration, get down
from your lap, and don't believe it will
take very long for them to learn how to
behave in church. Rural New Yorker.

WEAK LUNGS.

The lungs of the human body are more
subject to disease than any other vital
organ. Coming directly in contact every
moment with the poison floating in the
atmosphere, it is not at all wonderful
that the delicate tissues should more of.
ten than any other organ be the seat of
disease. 1t is source of qualification
that modern science and investigation
have proved that the greatest number Of
lung diseases are durable. In years past
nothing has been more common than TO
hear medical men say: "0h, he has dis.
ease of the lungs, can do nothing for
hill" Post mortem examinations upon
large scale have developed the fact that
pulmonary phthisis is common in many
cases where it is classed as something
else. Numerous cases are recorded where
the patient has died of other disease, and
the lungs have revealed the old ciCatrix
perfectly healed and the surrounding
tissues restored to health.
Instances are known where even an
entire lobe Of the lung has been solidifed
and the balance of tie organ continued
to do double work, and this with small
inconvenience. In series Of examina-
tions made at the hospital Of Edinburgh,
it was found that the lungs of at least
one third of those who died over 40 years
of age showed signs of former disease
A series OF experiments at the hospital
at Paris, of persons dying over so years
of age developing the same facts. That
consumption is hereditary no medical
man doubts; that, by judicious treatment
and by obeying wise laws it can be cured,
hardly admits'of a question. People who
have lung trouble should not go into the
habit of believing themselves doomed in
consequence of it. Such impressian often
goes far toward retarding the wo.k of
cure. Out door exercise, pure air, whole
some food, dry and warm clothing, ample
protection to the chest and to the feet,
and the weak-lunged people have lived,
and will often live, to the allotted years
of mans life.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Symptoms Of Diseased Liver.

pAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm, The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss Of men,
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly Sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. C. MCLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results, No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL,
For all bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.
