Alone, alone upon the sal sea shore
OF lief 1 sit. aud see tie waves reeede;
For me no hope or pleasure eouieth more-
Cast on the reef ike broken dead sra
weed.
Alone, alone. Alas. there was day
When little children played around my
knee,
And loving friends strewed flowers upon
my way,
Aud promised joys that never were to b..
The merry laugh and careless song of
mirth,
And ehillhoodfs eager voice and merry
shout,
Have long departed from my lonely hearth,
From which the smoHld'ring fires are
dying out.
1t boots not now the long, long sleepless
nights,
The days of hope deferred need not
mark,
As Que by one palcd aud went ont the
lights,
And left lone wreck foundring in the
dark.
How soon it came to me, the chill, the
shock,
The dreary sense that all of life was DER,
Aud like Promctheus fettered to his rock,
To feel the vulturcs preying evermore.
While yet the sun was midway in the sky,
Aud slauting shadows scarce began to
fall,
The light of hope had faded from the eye,
And dire misfortune brooded like pail.
| see the rush aud fret of life oby,
And well trimed barks go gaily out to
sea,
| watch their outward course with weary
eye,
Knowing how vain and frail such vcn-
lures be.
The stern old Roman sadly sat aud wept
The mutability of time and life,
While grand old Punic ruins round him
slept;
Thus |, secure above the breakers strife.
May sit and grove alone, mid storm and
shine,
No sympathy OF suffering ever near,
With the grim solace mine and only mine,
What'cr befalls, I've nothing more to
| fear

Iuries and Judges.

The following curious facts are meA-
toned in a recent lecture by Chief Jus
tice Horton, of Kansas, before the
Atchison Institute:
-Four hundred years ago, at least, the
present jury system was adopted. An
old tract says the jury of twelve was
adopted because the prophets wore
twelve; the apostles numbered twelve,
there were twelve Jewish judges,
twelve pillars of the temple. twelve
patriarchs, twelve tribes OF IsraeL
twelve stones in Aaron's breast-p.sN,
twelve gates Of Jerusalem, twelve
months OF the year. and twelve signs in
the zodiac. In all times the number
twelve has been regarded as an impor-
tant number. In the early ages the oath
of twelve persons was necessary to con-
vict.
When juries were first established, The
Iudge took the jurors about with him in
n cart until they agreed. II they didn't
agree, they were fined and imprisoned.
William Penn was once prosecuted in
London for street preaching. The Jury
was locked up without meat, drink or
fire to find a verdict. They declared
Penn not guilty, and the judge sentenced
each Of them to pay fine. Juries are
not now compelled 10 agree.
An Ohio judge was a fatalist. and used
to determine perplexins cases by chance.
An Indiana Judge once had a number Of
cases to pass upon. and he "a decision

best decisions he ever made, as every
one Of them was sustained by the
supreme court. General Bela NJ.
Hughes told an anecdote David X.

souri and Vice-President of the United
States. He was n district Judge in Mis-
souri, before he was Senator, and was
holding n term of court in frontier
county. The lawyer for the plaintih
quoted Blackstone. The opposing
counsel, in reply, said that he was
astonished that his learned brother
should quote from an English law-book'

A French I,Onrt Scene.

The Countess de lilly, tried at Saintes,
France. for throwing vitriol into the
face of n peasant woman, of whom she
was jealous with good cause. pleaded
that she did not intend seriously TO in
iure the woman, and that she had striven
10 make amends by giving her $4,000.
The passionate eloquence OF the great
Parisian barrister, Maitre Lachaud,
writes French correspondent, COM
pletely cleared all preconceived notions
from the minds Of the honest peasants
forming the jury. After celebrating
for only five minutes they returned with
n verdict of not guilty, which the fore
man delivered in voice full of emo
ton. Then followed one of those scenes
which are 10 be witnessed only in and
around French court when a prisoner
has been torn from the hands of the law
by the eloquence of a popular advocate.
The audience gave itself up TO enthu-
siastic applause, and JOY beamed on
every face. After the president had
ordered the immediate release of the
accused the countess was surrounded
and kissed by her many relatives. On
leaving the court she embraced Maitrc
Lachaud. warmly thanking him for his
able defense. Outside the building the
crowd uncovered when Madame de
lilly appeared, and several cries OF
"vive Madame de Tillyr' was heard.
Maitre Lachaud was vigorously cheered
rs he left the building.

TrfchinR.

A New York newspaper says: Doe
tor II. 8. Billings has recently written
q highly interesting paper on trichin.
In hogs and In ..man. From this II
would seem that this disease, which
most Americans consider as peculiar 10
Germany, Is in reality much more prs-
valent In this country than elsewhere.
For example, from an examination Of
several thousand hogs sent frum vari
GUS parts OF the West, Doctor Billing,
found that on an average one in eighteen
of them was diseased in this way; Will.
out OF nearly two million hogs examined
in Germany in 1876, eight hundred only
were found trichinous. That this dis-
ease is not oftener communicated " man
in this country, is wholly due 10 the fart
that pork Is rare.y eaten here until /, is
cooked. If we were in the habit Of eat
ing uncooked smoked pork. in hara Or
sausage, as il is commonly eaten in
Germany, the number OF deaths that
would be caused by trichine would be
alarmingly large. The parasites are 10
small that their presence can only be
detected by a microscope. and it is es,i-
mated that in eating what would be the
ordinary meal OF a man, of diseased
pork, it would be easy TO take into the
stomach not less than one million
triahina. Doctor Thudichum, in re-
porting 10 the Englis privy council,
describes the symptoms OF trichiniass
in man as follows: Sudden swelling
of the face, particularly the eyelits
after the patient has for some days felt
PROSTATE and has lost his appetite (,his
swelling causes feeling OF tension, but
no pain) fever, with quick pulse and
copious perspiration the muscles are
swelled and give great pain when moved
or touched. In worse cases the entire
body is immovable and sensitive; thcrs
is diarrhea, with a red, somewhat
covered tongue, inclining to dryncss.
When the swelling in the face has sub

thighs come on; shortly after anasarca,
swelling over the trunk, makes its ap.
pearance." Although these are the
phcnomina the disease itself exhibits

Certain il is that in several surgica.
cases OF late their presence has been dis
covered. Doctor Billings asserts tha.
the surest way TO prevent them IS to
have the pork before being cooked. cut
in relatively thin slices. Frying and
boiling are the most effective means Of
destroying them; roasting comes next.
Boiling coagulates the albumen on the
outer surface, and allows the heat to
penetrate less readily. and for this res-
son large pieces of meat should be boiled
for at least two hours.

The manufacture of the common clay
pipe Is an industry OF which few OF our
readers have any adequate conception.
There Ii nothing about the homely
"Irish meerschaum which would sug-
gest the idea Of invention or manufac-
ture. True, we see more or less OF these
pipes every day, perhaps, and yet we
seldom, If ever, think how they are
made. ALI the clay pipes used in this
country were formerly imported from
Germany. but they are now made in the
United States In large numbers. A Clin-
ton IN. - Courier correspondent has
been visiting clay pipe manufactory at
Durhamville, y. T., and gives an ac-
count of the pipes, and how they are
made. He says:
The foreman took us down cellar and
showed us pile of the crude clay, which
comes from New Jersey. 1t had the
appearance OF water lime, although
more lumpy." The crude clay is first
placed in a large mill and ground, by
horse power, like paint. 1t is then put
in large tubs TO soak until ii Is wanted
by the workmen. When thus prepared
it has the appearance of putty, though
darker in color and frmer in texture.
We then passed to the molding room.
where there were nine young men at
work, seated at tables. where they
rolled the clay dexterously on the table
with their hands until IL assumed
the shape of a long roll with a large
"nub" on ore end. The men then run
wire through The stem part and place
The clay, with the wire left in the stem,
into CREASED mold, the inside of which
is the shape of the pipe to be made.
These molds are sometimes ornamented,
when fancy pipes. are wanted. The
molds are now quickly passed into a
kind of press, which is supplied with n
small, round iron, which punches out
the clay and makes the bowl" OF the
pipe. The pipes in this shape are very
brittle, and arc laid aside for day or
so to harden or season. The hands in
this factory all work by the "piece,"
and get eighteen cents per gross for
straight stem pipes and twenty cents
for crooked. Each man will make
1000 pipes per day, giving the factory a
product OF ls,0OG per day. When the
pipes are sufficiently seasoned. they are
taken to another room. where there are
nine girls at work. who scrape the ridges
on the stem where the mold shuts to-
gether. This Is called " finishing" The
girls get five cents per gross, and make
good wages at that. The pipes, after
another short seasoning, are packed
carefully in round fire-pots, or I" sag
gers" about the size of cheese box,
and holding two and half gross each,
and are then ready for the kiln. The
kiln holds l3l of these saggers, and is
lighted only once n week, burning twelve
hours at time. After coming from the
kiln, they are then packed in square
boxes and shipped by wholesale only
TO all parts Of the country. This firm
makes some different styles OF clay
pipes, including few varieties of red

The Termites.

In the hotter parts OF the world, the
woodworking insects are more than
mere anDoyances In houses, the most
dreaded of them all being the termites
or white ants. They will devour every
piece of woodwork in the house. They
find their way into beams, and eat the
whole OF the wood, with the exception
of a shell scarcely thicker than the
paper on which this narrative Is printed.
They will attack table, eating their
way through the floor into the legs, and
following 1t so that on leaning upon
the table. apparently sound as IL is, 1t
breaks down and crumbles into heap
of dusty fragments. They have even
been known to get into a garden and
hollow out the pea-sticks, 30 that the
first wind blew them down. together
with their burden. If they find their
way into boxes in which papers are
kept, they will devour almost the whole
of every bundle, leaving nothing but
the uppermost sheet and the edges Of
the others. So In the dwellings Of
civilized man they are an unmitigated
pest. But It must be remembered that
the house-beams. furniture and docu-
ments are not the normal food Of the
termites, which existed for ages before
man built houses, made furniture or
documents. Good Words.
