Jelly Fish.

A little more of the present summer
sunshine will soon fill the river-mouths
and harbors of the coast with those curious
creatures, the Jelly fishes. Yachtmen and
steamboat passengers, where the sea-
water is clear, will mark the familiar but
ever wonderful bell of glass opening and
closing as it slowly makes its way beneath
the surface. Children playing on the
beach will find the shapeless masses of
many medusa-for such is it's scientific
term m-helplessly tumbled on the sand,
like spilled mold of that jelly from which
its ordinary name is SO reasonably de-
rived. But spilled iellies, especially
when gritty with sand, are useless to play
poking the dead medusa about with their
spades nor is it very great fun either to
catch them alive; to say nothing of the.
fact, dimly known even to young natur-
alists, that some species sting severely.
Yet beautiful as well as marvellous is the
creature of the wave. Its body, or swim
ming bell, is a cup of crystal, clearer
than any wine goblet ever blown by glass
makers, and gemmed around the rim with
spots or bosses of violet, blue and purple
jewelry, which Salviati could not equal
for brilliancy and effect. From the bot
tom of the translucent chalice hang leaf
like processes encircling the mouth,
which is yelled by delicate membrane,
as if the medusa were an Eastern
beauty and kept the ssyashmak" over her
lips. The sapphire and ethyst-colored
spots are rudimentary eyes the cavities
seen round the lip of the crystal cup are
ears, and it has countless hands or ''ten-
tacles" hanging from the pellucid brim.
Some of them, even more modest than
their simpler sisters, cover their violet
eyes, as well as their mouths, with hya
line hood, and others shine at night with
lambent white and blue fire which
lights up the sea as though with subma-
rine lamps. Seaside visitors are soon
weary of observing them, and the thawl
fisher and the shrimper hates them for
clogging the nets nevertheless, objects
more graceful and perfect are not found
in the wide waters, and it might more
easily be believed that ETHEREAL, diaphan-
Gus, and divine beings may conceivably
exist and more in the upper ether when
these gemmed phantoms Of the wave have
been seen winnowing, as it were, their
way through the elements from the sub
stance and color of which only the most
delicate outlines divide them. Even the
power of offense which some possess is an
interesting creative marvel The .'sea-
nettle," as they are styled, have cnida, or
s'thread cells each of which contains a
tiny lash-tongue pointed at the end, and
furnished with stinging fluid from sac.
When the cell is pressed it bursts and
shoot forth flying dart which pierces the
skin and injects the poison from the eff
feet of which-as many have found out
who incautiously handle the Portuguese
man-of. war rash experimentalist may

The BEGGARs AND VICTIMS OF CHAR
ITY.-It is impossible to calculate the
waste of time and of money with which
this whole irregular machinery of public
charity is kept at work Persons are in
duced to give to objects of which they
know nothing. They give, and they
fancy they have done with it, until the
claimant, in due course, reappears, as
importunate as ever, and with something
of prescriptive rigi5 on his side. Beg
ging is fast becoming profession. It
has its well H-known rules and cautions, its
literary style and manner and tone of
voice, its various methods of approach to
suit every case. Its victims proper
would not feel fattered if they knew how
their faults and weaknesses, their virtues
and their vices, are described, when the
soft-spoken applicant is off duty, or how
they are kept on record for his future
guidance. Each may be sure that in
some phrase or other he has been duly
written down an ass. There is no malice
in the description; there is scarcely
bare flavor of half unconscious contempt.
OF course the man is an ass; he would be
of less use otherwise for the professional
beggar's purpose To the rest of the
world he may be well-to-do squire, or
man who has retired with fortune
larger than he knows how to employ.
But all these are disguises which the
professional beggar very soon strips off.
His concern is with the man under them
and he differs from his fellows in the de
gree of skill and assurance with which h.
manages to reach this London Times.
a JUDGE Who BELIEVES IN GHosTs.-
The Newbnryport Herald says In ths
police court, the other morning, Isaac
Hibbs of West Newbury was indicted
for an assault and discharged. The facts
of the case appear to be as follows On
the morning of the 9Th, company of
young men thought it would be a good
joke to throw q stone into the chamber
window of one of the citizens of the
town. A member of the family however,
overheard the young fellows plotting
mischief, and hurrying home, informed
the old gentleman of the plan, and he,
quickly donning portion of his under
garments snly, hastened to put himself
in ambush. When the young rioters
came along he sprang out, and all ran
but one who stood up and knocked the
old gentleman down couple of times.
Whereupon q warrant for assault was
issued, and when brought into court,
Hibbs pleaded that che thought it was q
ghost and he wasn't going to run from
It. Accordingly, his honor ruled that
if the young man thought it was "a
ghost, and was struck with that idea, he
committed no assault, and consequently,
should be discharged. Such q judge as
that deserves a mueh wider reputation
than we are able to give him.

this custom prevailed thirty or forty
years ago. I fancy that it has now fallen
through. After the banns were publish
ed for the third time the parish clerk ex-
claimed, "God speed them weel !" Nor
was this the only curious custom in this
parish. As the congregation were leav-
ing the church after service, the clerk,
taking his stand on s'thruff in the
churchyard, announced all the sales by
auction which were to be held in the
parish during the week, and other mat
ters of interest to the parishioners, such
as, ssOn Wednesday next Willie Pearson

THE STATE.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Lincoln
County, Hon. J. b. Chrisman, Judge.
Appellants were jointly indicted for an IS
sault and battery with intent to kill and muir
murder.
The evidence left it doubtful which of the
four defendants committed the offense.
The court, at the instance of the District
Attorney, instructed the jury as to the effect
of an assault by the defendants in pursuance
of common design.
The defendants asked the court TO charge
the jury as follows: 'And even if the jury
should believe from the evidence that some
one Of the defendants is guilty, yet they
should acquit all of said defendants if they
have a reasonable doubt arising from the evil
dence to which of said defendants was so
guilty" Another charge was asked, in which
it assumed that one or more Of the defen-
dants might be guilty, but that all should be
acquitted unless the proof showed which of the
defendants were guilty beyond all reasonable
doubt
Both instructions were refused.
All the defendants were convicted of an
assault and battery
GEORGE, C. J.
Held
l. The court correctly charged the jury, that
if the assault was made in pursuance of u COM
mon design of the defendants, it made no diff
ference: which one of them struck the blow,
they were all guilty.
2. The defendants instructions were improp-
erly refused. The jury were bound to acguit
all the defendants, unless the evidence enabled
them to say which were guilty, if all were not
