CIoned for w art Of Cash.

The session Of the United States Dis
triot Court, Philadelphia, was brough'
to close on Thursday. Judge Butler
stated several days ago that he would
be compelled to discharge all jurymen,
except the twelve men last In attend
ancs, ON account Of the lack Of funds to
continue the term.
United States Marshal Kerns said tn at
every item containing appropriations
for the Courts, Narshals' Office and u.
s. Commissioners had long since been
exhausted. At the close Of the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1879, the def
sienoy in his department was 90, 500. In
the last eleven months this had been
increased to 100000.
The May term Of the court usually
lasts four weeks, and the business Of
the present session, which has oocupi-
ed ten days, was quite as heavy as in
former years. United States District
Attorney Valentine was informed how
ever, early in the term Of the state oil
finances, and he determined to try only
the prison cases and such other Grimm.
al cases as he deemed of pressing i'm.
portancs. The funds for witnesses
have already been expended, and there
remains but 5000 Of the item for the
payment Of jurors.

THE Two MOTHERS.
DECORATION DAY 1880.

How soft is the cheek that she klsses!
How sweet is her baby's warm BREATH
How dear are the rosy oaressos
Hsw full Is her life Of these biisses =
And yet, there comes death
For I-yes, too had such treasure,
Ere these days si my darkness and dele;
I loved him with love beyond moasure-
Loved his flesh with q passionate pleasure,
Loved his innocent soal.
Asw the heart bursts with memoriesl An hour
Since he danced in nay arms, on my knee;
Then he strides down thcstreet. Like o flowel
Above flies the flag with such power
To lure him from me!
Life and death fight their terrible duel,
And tread into dust all crave!
All, Fatel You are dai X, you are cruel;
Yet spare to this women her jewol,
For I-have my grave.

Durability Of Consumption.

The best physicians are coming more
TO acknowledge that tubercular consump-
ton can be cured.
DIR. Carl Booth, physician emf
nent in the regular profession, claims
that he is able to cure sixty per cent. OF
consumptives mt all stages; and that it is
easy to arrest the disease in its early
stage. His aim is to secure five points:
|. To get the muscles which control
the action of the lungs i'll such condi-
ton that they can draw the air forcibly
into the finest passages, thus clearing the
lungs Of all phlegm and pus, and re-es-
tablishing capillary circulation and respi-
ration in the affected parts, and stimu-
lating the activity Of the air-cells gen.
orally.
2. To establish perfect digestion, as
similation, and excretion. In this he
does not seek what to people generally Is
the most nutritious and most easily d.
gcste food, but such as the particular
pate nj can most readily digest and asslm-
ilatc.
B. To heal the tubercles by transform
ing them into a cretaccous (chalk-
mass. He secures this % with food rich
in salts of lime; (2) certain minerals,
such as lime and silica; and (3) certain
acids, such as citric, which promote the
oxidation of ctfete matter.
4. To Increase the activity OF the air
cells. This is accomplished by bringing
the patients under the influence, as much
as possible, of sunlight, ozone, fresh air
and bodily exercise. He says: They
sleep with open windows in summer and
winter, and go out every day. SO I'M
portant is outdoor exercise, that | insist
that my patients 60 out in rain, snow,
dampness. and even in night air and
dew. I have had no instance in twenty
years where a patient caught cold from
such exposure. | only guard against
strong head-winds and extreme hot
weather"
5. To prevent all unnecessary waste OF
the nervous force, and to employ the lat
ter, as far as possible In promoting the
nutrition Of the system.

A Famous Clown.

Few men in his profession had less OF
the circus man and the clown about him
outside of the ring than James Cooke,
the leaper, tumbler, rope-walker, clown,
and ring-mastcr, and who died not
long ago. He was slender, medium
sized, and erect, with close-cut, gray hair
brushed back from well-shaped fore
head, well-cut features, steel-gray eyes,
and short gray mustache. He dressed
with care, i'll clerical black, and white
necktie added to his clerical appearance.
His words were carefully chosen, and he
spoke deliberately and thoughtfully.' He
looked and acted like a gentleman al
ways. He was religious man. His
son, II years old, is studying for the
priesthood, in the Santa Clara College, in
San Francisco, and u daughter is at
school in convent near that city.
He was perfect gentleman, said
Mr.. Nathan, one of the proprletors OF
Barnums circus, where for the last three
years of his life Mr.. Cooke was equestri-
an manager. He never used an oath,
and he never permitted himself to talk
ungrammatically. He seemed always try
ing to improve, and to improve all about
him. If any Of the men in the ring used
bad language, ungrammatical language,
1 mean, he would reprove them, but In
such way that they would not take
offense, and could only love him the more
for the interest he took in them. He urged
the boys to read the papers, and to study
when they could. As a clown he was
very good; Shakspearean, OF course.
He was dignifed, graceful and witty, and
studied hard to invent new things"

A Grow Convention.

James Hillman, a respectable and we'll
to-do farmer, living between Orwigsburg
and Landingville, is the authority for
the following remarkable story: Mr., Hill
man has on his farm fifteen acres of tim
ber, which is joined by two other pieces
of woodland of about the same size. Ont
morning Mr.. Hillmans attention wa%
attracted by large tlocks OF crows whicL
came from the South, and as ifby common
consent settled III the woods mentioned
above. During the ensuing three days
the crows in the woods were re-enforced
by new arrivals, until several thousand
were present, and the noise they made
attracted the attention of people for
miles around Sentinel crows We're
posted on the fences around the woods
and through them the approach Of IL man
or boy was quickly communicated to the
body of crows. The crows remained IN
this patch Of woods until Monday mon.
ing, when they all left about the same
time taking their course of flight i'll n
northwestern direction. They left the
woods in tlOcks containing two or three
hundred each at intervals of five or ten
minutes, and, the departure of one of
these focks was the signal for loud ana
prolonged cawing on the part of those
remaining behind They all departed
in the same direction, and the last flock
took to wing about an hour after the first
started Since then there has not been
n crow seen in the neighborhood. Mr..

THE DEACON'S WOOING.

The sun had disappeared behind the
hills of New Bethany, and the lingering
light on the mountain tops was chang
ing from rose to purple, when Deacon
Pinch stopped his melancholy old mare
in front of the village postotlice. 1t was
Saturday night, the only time when New
Bethany reused itself from its lethargy
and showed any signs of life and energy.
The rest of the week it drowsed and Ian
guished after the fashion of small coun-
try towns remote from railway and man
ufacturing centers.
"Whoa Mary janet said the deacon
with unnecessary emphasis, throwing
the reins on the mares broad back and
springing to the ground.
But the despondent Mary Jane had al
ready ceased her shambling gait from
sheer force of habit. A ten years ser
vice with the deacon had made her per-
fectly familiar with the accustomed
rounds of stopping places. Wednesday
night it was prayer meeting; Sunday,
the church service; and Saturday night,
invariably the pOstoffice, and, as late
variation. an after pause at the house OF
Mrs. Betsey Hill, the milliner, who for a
quarter of century had supplied the
women of New Bethany with head gear
fearfully and wonderful ly made.
The moment the deacon stepped inside
the office, he knew, from an unusual buzz
of conversation, that something extraor-
dinary had happened.
Heard the news-eh, deacon?" asked
one of the VILLAGE lOunpers
The deacon looked up inquiringly.
Miss Keziah's had an amazin' streak
Of luck"
"Its been nothing but an amazin
streak of luck ever since she was born,
rr"rned the deacon. eff ownin' the
best farm in town and hevin' money at
interest isn't luck, I'd like to know what
is."
"Yes; but this is something out of
common. You used to know her brother,
who died years ago and left his only
child for Miss Keziah to bring up:
Waal, when old man Mead died Miss
keziah took the farm as her share Of the
property, and her brother, bein' of
rovin turn of mind, took the few thous-
and OF personal property as his'n and
invested them in Western lands, which
turned out wuthless, an he lost every
cent he put in. Folks always blamed
him for bein' so foolish and hasty, and
they say grief and modification like has
tened his death. Wa'al, it turns ont they
have put railroad square thro the lands,
and its sent real estate way up, nobody
knows where. Miss Keziah's been OF.
fered nigh onto IS, 900 for the lands, and
they say she will get ever so much more
If she only holds on.
"You don't mean it?'
II dew: it's as true as scripture.
She'll hold out, never fear" said the
deacon; "and hold it to be our bounden
duty as neighbors to advise her to that
end"
Instead Of lingering as usual for the
village gossip-for New Bethany post
Office on Saturday night answered the
purpose of weekly paper-the deacon
seemed in great hurry to get home
1t was the night of the choir rehearsal,
and in driving by the church he saw
Mary Mead, Miss Keziah's niece, go
ing up the steps. He suddenly whipped

Man q Laughing Animal.

Man is said to be the only animal that
can cry, and yet he is not really crying
creature. He is laughing and smiling
creature. The hours which bring tears
do not come very often. Some iiresides
see ten or twenty years in which no one
has cause for weeping Many hundreds
and thousands meet with no sorrow for a
quarter century. The days on which
man cries are few compared with all the
days of his life. Man is an animal that
can cry, but he is most perfectly crea-
ture that laughs Not many days pass
that bring no pleasant smiles to the ma
iority. There is column of laughter in
the daily newspaper The light dramas
of u pure and ingenious quality draw
large audiences, while painful tragedy is
less popular, because all mankind would
rather laugh than cry 1t ought to be
an a priori argument in favor OF Gfe's
intrinsic sweetness and worth thar man
comes up into it with his face besming
with smiles, and this smile widens out as
years pass, and the dear old father laughs
and plays with children, and one merri-
ment like one electricity thrills the heart
of infant aud Of patriarch.
