The Frozen Trance.

\ botanist, named Signor Rotura,
who has made q special study of South
American fora, has invented n pro.
cess of suspending animation in ami
mails indefinitely and of restoring it at
pleasure. In connection with Mr..
James Grant, who has n freezing
chamber on one of the headlands Of
Sydney Harbor, he has been operating
on dogs, cats, lambs and other domcs-
tic animals. A slight puncture is
made in the dogs ear. and two drops
of South American vegetable poison
are injected. In three or four minutes
the vital functions are suspended the
frame becomes rigid the heart ceases
to beat the tail no longer wags the
dog il dead-so dead, that dccompo-
sition would set in if the body were
not frozen into the hardness of stone
and the brittleness of glass. The dog
is laid away on n shelf in rcfrigera-
tor, and remains there for weeks and
months, until it is the pleasure Of
Signor Rotura to resuscitate him.
Then the subject Is immersed in n tub
Of warm water for ten minutes aud
brought back TO blood heat. a few
drops of the antidote to the poison are
injected with n silver syringe. In
five minutes intelligence returns to the
eyes, rigidity leaves the limbs, the tail
is gently wagged and the dog barks
and trots off as though nothing had
happened.
The inventors experiments on ami
mails have been 40 successful that he
has requested the Governor to allow
him to operate on the next felon under
capital sentence. He proposes to
freeze him up for a month and then to
thaw him out, and declares with the
sublime faith of a genuine discoverer,
that he has no fear of fatal result
Signor Rotura is uncertain whether
the longevity of the subject is affected
by n temporary suspension of anima-
ton, but believes that the period Of
inertnes will not be cut out of ones
full time, but will simply be so many
weeks, months or years "ofunconscious
existence tackled on to ones sentient
life" The account Of this process is
so sensational that if it had appeared
in an American newspaper, a sceptical
public would have regarded it rs an
ingenious hoax, but inasmuch a. IL has
been transferred from the columns Of
the Australian press TO those Of the
London Times, and hernlded with the
utmost gravity n "a wonderful dis
covery." who shall dare to dismiss il so
iightlyS Who can say in this year
of grace that anything is too strange

Princess Beatrice and the Prince
Imperial.


Is IL true-ah, who shall say2
In tho brighter noonday glory
Morning shadows melt away.
Poets fancics, woven gayly,
Cruel fingers tear apart;
And in judgment Brain sits daily
On the children of the Heart.
Years ago, in times called olden---
'Tis a legend, mind, tell
From his throne, high-reared and golden,
Cast to earth, u ruler fell.
Fought by foreign foes and worsted,
Mad with grief and mad with shame,
For his blood the people thirsted,
And heaped curses on his name.
Far away, an exile broken,
Shorn of all his pomp and pride,
Cesar passed his races token
To his only son and died.
Died afar, by all unheeded
Who of yore had bent the knee;
And he sleeps the sleep he needed
In his tomb across the sea.
To that son the right descended
Still to count himself king
Courtiers still his steps attended,
Doubling not what time would bring;
And he kept the grand tradition
OF his proud Imperial race
"Bide your time" was Caesars mission
"Iou shall hll your fathers place
Yet the waves of Time they bore him
Little nearer to the throne;
Blood, he said, should not restore him,
But his peoples love alone.
Not for him the pathway CORY,
That his hero-fathcrs trod;
lie would keep his whole lifc-story;
Fit for eyes Of man and God.
SO he grew among the strangers
Till he came to mans estate,
Then he sought afar the dangers
That beset soldiers fate.
Why? All, whisper, gentle brcezes,
Ge that come across the sea,
With the tender tale it plcases
Cruel Fate TO send by thee
He had loved high-born maiden,
Youngest daughter of Queen;
Yet his heart with grief was laden
Shadows crcpt their loves between.
Fancy cast dream-spell DER him;
Then the ghosts of history came
Spread his races past before him,
While in blood they wrote his name.
One short word had he but spoken,
His had been the maiden's hand;
In her eyes he read tho token,
He could see the promised land.
Love that's checked is love the stronger
Should he bid her be his mate 2
God forbid that he should wrong her
She should know some happier fate.
He was heir to pornp and splendor;
Hope might dawn for him at last
Fiercest foes might yet surrender;
But the fatal die was cast.
Comes his dIrge across she billows;
Sets his gentle star for aye.
Death his crownless head now pillows
He has flung his life away.
Came a whisper DER the ocean,
lie had sought q soldiers death;
And to seal "A life's devotion,
Gave her land his latest breath
Reckless there he courted danger
And the tale Is far and wide,
How the youth, % fear n stranger,
Death had wooed and won for bride.
Il it true, this legend olden,
Or some poets idle dream,
Who has sought, in garments golden,
Thus 10 dress a dainty theme
II Alright they tell his story,
All his race he scars above;
They are men who die for glory,
Twas god who died for love

GRANT IN JAPAN.

SPENDING FOURTH OF JULY WITH THE EN-
PERoR-MoRE sPEcuLArIoNs ABOUT OFFICIAL
BRITISH cooISEss-F FOR HonB AT THE END
OF THIS MONTH.
YOKOHAMA, July II, 1879.
The reception to ex-Prcsident Grant in Toxic
Is unprecedented in Japanese history. In addi-
tion to demonstrations by the government citi-
zens have given lavish entertainments u
simptuous scale. Every day and night there
were fresh novelties Tor his diversion. General
Grant had an audience with the Emperor on
July A. His Majesty aluding happily to u coin
cidcnce of the date. The sole obstacle to
harmony is caused by the dcmeanor of the Eng
lish officials, who persistcntly keep alcof from
General Grant and decline to give salutes or
recognition. II Is not clearly understood
whether this is in consequence of orders from
home or otherwise There is much comment
thereupon, and 1t is distinctly known that Gen
eral Grant is kccnly sensitive to sights. Gen
eral Grant, after visiting various points, will
