Pleased With His Sentence.

The punishment of death, it is often
asserted, has but little terror for the
hardened criminal, who usually prefers
ending his life on the gallows to a lin
pering existence, within the walls Of a
prison. BY criminals, however, who
are not hardened, hanging is viewed
with repugnancc: and some striking
evidence on this point is afforded by a
scene which took place in tn" sheriff
court of Dundee. Scotland. A ..eaf and
dumb man was charged with an assault
on his aun', whom he slightly wounded
in the neck with q knife that he snatcled
from a table in a hit of passion. The
substance o. the evidence having been
interpreted to him. he admitted its
truth, but would not plead guilty. His
dorredness in persisting in his lnno-
cence arose, it was a~scertalned, from
the fact that he labored under the i'm
rression that he was being tried for
,nurder. and was sure to be hanged.
'rhe sheriff found the charge proven.
and passed a sentence of Thirty days
Imprisonment. On the sentence being
communicated to the prisoner by means
! of the finger alphabet, he could not at
first realize the fact that he was not
going TO be hanged after all; but on be-
! ing assured by the interpreter that his
life would be spared, his joy knew no
bounds. Leaping to his feet, his face
radiant with delight. he danced in the
dock, kissed his hand several times in
rapid succession to the sheriff, insisted
on shaking hands with the interpreter
and was led out cutting the most gro
tesque capers as an expression of his in
tense happiness.

A Curiosity In Books.

In the agricultural department OF .
library in Warsentein, near Cassel, Ger.
many, may beseen one ofthe most novel
collections of books it has been our
privilege to inspect. At first glance they
appear like rough blocks of wood. but
upon closer examination it will be
found that each one is a complete his.
tory of the particular tree which it rep
resents. At the back of the book, the
bark has been removed from a space
large enough to admit the scientific and
common name of the tree as a title. One
side is formed from the split wood of
the tree, showing its grain and natural
fracture; the other shows the wood
where worked smooth and vanished.
One end shows the grain as left by the
saw, and the other the fnely-polished
wood. On opening the book one finds
the fruits. seeds, leaves and other pro-
ducts of the tree, the moss which usually
grows upon its trunk, and the insects
which feed upon various parts of the
tree. To all this is added a plainly
printed description of the habits. usual
location, and manner of growth of the
tree-all forming a complete history OF
each kind of timber represented, and in
form readily understood by all.-Paper
and Print.

Something about I" Roots and Yarbs."

The gathering of roots and herbs for
medicinal purposes gives employment to
many persons in rural districts through
out the country. A Cincinnati reporter
lately interviewed" an old rbicollect-
or, and the following is q portion of the
mans account of his business, with ther-
apeutical observations in%terlarded:
Yaller root, or golden seal, is worth
seven cents a pound. 1t is used fur
maxim washes fur sore eyes an mouth.
Burwane root is used in maxim ager
medicine; it's hard 10 git, and brings
eight cents a pound. Buttcrnut bark
brings as high as three and four cents;
that what yer physickin' pills is made
of; list bile it Town till it gifts thick,
like u paste, and tEen roll it into yer
pills; it is also used for dyeing purposes.
Hoal hound is used in maxim cough
syrup; it brings eight cents a pound, al
though it is plentiful; some places it
grows so thick yer a NOW it with a
scythe. Another herb is lobelia, and l
git ten cents a pound fur it, but the price
is falling. If yer EVER want to git lid OF
what's inside of yer, jist make a tea of
lobelia leaves. and I'll bet my team of
HOSES out there it'll accommodate yer.
I brought in a good many Indian turnips
his fall. and got eight cents a pound for
'em. They are used in cough medi
cines. Silkweed root is used in ager
medicine, but it is scarce in my part Of
the country; it is worth ten cents a
pound. Pennyroyal and peppermint
brings ten cents a pound, but when dry
it takes a heap to make a pound. There
are a good many kinds Ct bark used.
There's white-oak bark, best thing in
the world where it is made into asyrup.
Yellow-poplar bark used with wild
cherry bark, prickly ash, dogwood bark
ton. Slippery-elm bark is ground up
Ehd used for poultices; good to take out
fever; it's worth ten cents q pound. Then
there's elder bark; take it, beeswax,
mutton taller and a leetle rosin, and it
makes the best kind of a salve for fresh
cuts. Boneset is an herb that grows
about three feet high, with leaves of q
milky color: it generally grows in old
pastures; it is used for colds. and is
worth six cents n pound. Old field
halsam looks a good deal like boneset,
only it don't grow 20 high; it is used
for the same purpose. I've sold lots of
catnip to these druggists, but what it is
ussd for, more than ter nourish babies
with, I don't know. sell these fellows
here all sorts of roots and herbs, even to
mullin and plantain leaves, which they
make salve out of. Why, " these
old gympsum weeds bring three cents a
pound. and even sunhower.. seeds. Why,
a couple of years ago I sold two bushels
of sunfower seeds fur twenty-one dol
lars. They buy pumpkin and water
melon seeds, also, ter make kidney medi-
cine out of.

All up stairs in a soft cradle-nest.

Oh a. the wonderful cnre Of nose out OF joint!

A sweet word OF joy,
A kiss for her boy,
And a shy little brotherly peep,
And deep
Springs love for the baby asleep!

Drinking Habits OF lSome of the Women
OF New York.

A New York correspondent says: 1
would not 60 so far as 10 say that New
York ladies drink to excess, supposing
thai public drinking is permissible in a
lady at all. But l do say and see th"t
ladies here are drinking a. great deal of
both wine and spirits. Young ladies
not fast girls when out shopping 90
into Bigot's or Pursell's or Delmonico's
and order "a hot Scotch with rs little
hesitation as o lady would order q pound
of tea l have noticed this habit for
several years, and have written about it
n New York and Boston papers. l
have read what others have said con-
corning the matter. and | believe OBJ
serving men generally will agree that
the custom is growing. Yet every time
the subject is raised in the papers
there is a great hue and cry, and
the thing is denied very persistently.
Notwithstanding the rows a publicmen-
ton of the evil has already caused, l al
firm, of my own knowledge, it is true: l
don't know that l have often seen ladies
intoxicated here, save ut a LiederkranZ
or Arion ball. but I have seen hundreds
of them drink freely. l am not writing
OF QTuuktTQS, uOW, uuG VI "hiASh "Ho
drink wine OF something stronger. every
day of their lives, at home or abroad.
That there nre hundreds of women here,
in good society, too, who are drunkards.
there can be no denying. A lady whom
have known for ten years has died since
Twas here last summer, from the effects
of hard drink. She was a beautiful
woman, AMI rs brilliant rs she was bad
Nathless, society in the metropolis has
not ceased mourning for her yet. / know
whereof I affirm when 1 say that beeris
the most popular beverage in New York
to-day. A glance at the tables in Kos
ter & Balls, Thiess', or any Of the pub
lie or private places here will convince
the most credulous. You will see as
many women as men enjoying the foam
Ing cup. At the hotels or in private
houses. unless wine is commonly used.
you will find beer to be the ordinary
drink.
