A ous-te.te Of Chicken Thieves.

Bum Afford, Gus Boyd, Hess Norton and
Jim Crawford, four colored boot blacks, each
of whom are hardly ten years old, were
brought from Jail before the county court
yesterday morning, to answer to the charge
of stealing chickens from Mr., Dickerson
some time ago. Assistant County Attorney
Morrow appeared to prosecute and Messrs.
J. P. Gillespie and w. B. Gano for the de-
fense. After consultation the trial was con-
tinued on behalf of the defense, and the boy
prisoners were remanded back to jail. While
in the court room Gus Boyd, the smallest of
the four, was very indignant on beholding
the array OF witnesses for the state, and said
that a job had been put up against himself
and Bum Afford who appear to be
partners and opposed to the other
two, who were at one Tune
their confederates. "Them people,"
he said, pointing to Jim Crawford's witness
es, would swear for him against me any
time, and when they do it they, tell stories,
for he took the chickens, and not me"
All four of them have been arraigned time
and again for petty thefts, but their being SO
young they generally escaped with light
punishment. There is another charge
pending against Afford and Boyd, who are
charged with burglary, they having been
caught only few nights since, by special
officer Dempsey, in E. NJ. Kahns clothing

Rapidity of Thought.

The researches of scientific men have
shown that thought is not so rapid as is
usually believed, but that every action of
the brain requires an appreciable time.
Hirsh proves that less time is required to
recognize q touch than sound, and that it
took more time to see than to hear, but the
question still remained as to what part of
the time was consumed in the act of re-
cognition. This problem was solved by
Donders. By means of very ingenious APP
paratus he has found that the double act
of recognizing sound and giving re-
Spouse occupied seventy-tive thousandths
OF second, of which forty thousandths
were required for the simple act Of recogni-
ton, leaving thirty-five thousandths
for the act of volition. One twenty-fifth of
q second was occupied in judging which of
the two irritants was acting upon the same
sense; but slightly longer time was neces-
sary to determine the priority OF signals
sent by different senses, as those OF hearing
and seeing. The described results were OBJ
tanned from man Of middle age; the young
were somewhat quicker, but the average Of
many experiments showed that the time
required for simple thought is never less
than the fortieth Of q second. The mind,
therefore, at its greatest activity, can per-
form no more than 2, 400 acts per minute
not a very great speed when 1t is considered
how many Of these "simple acts" must be
combined to form any process OF reasoning
or continued thought.

In Memory of Lillis.

Again the cruel monster Death, has Wis
tied our midst, and crushed beautiful and
tender bud ere its delicate leaves had fully
opened, and caused to fall athwart the
Threshold ofour esteemed friend, Mr.. IT.
win Lavender the sorrow that naturally
follows at the death of a darling child.
Llllis Lavender, in her young, innocent
and sweet girlhood, has been taken away
from her beloved parents and the circle of
friends and acquaintsnces, who, by her
gentleness, kind ways and sweet DISPOSE
ton, had endeared her to many-the link
of affection that the kindness of her
noble heart had woven so closely around
her many friends, has on earth been sever
ed, but in memory to remain ever fresh and
green-associations of the past so pleas
antly connected and impressed of her
sweet and pure character are golden links
in memory's chain that even death cannot
erase.
In her sweet sixteenth year, she placidly
and calmly passed away, and now quietly
rests in the sacred spot of our dead, with
her angel spirit far happier, we trust, in the
glorious realms of the good and true.
Many hearts ache, gentle Lille, land many
tears have fallen over the little mound that
now points your last resting place, last
and fond farewell, and God grant we may
meet again in the SWEET by-and-bye."
A FRIEND.

The business Jacob Hash The largest man

refused 10 pay for such alleged In
Judgements and went on with his business.
Washburn Il Go. got decree TO com
pei him 10 close up his factory, or settle for
past transgrcssions. Hash took nh appeal
TO the United States supreme court and
proposed to fight II out. Suddenly news
comes that Hash had surrendered to the
Washburn Combination and had taken out
license and had paid for past infringe
burn & Co. in reality surrendered to
Hash, in order to keep the appeal
from going to the United States
supreme court. While 1t was given out to
the public that Hash had to pay Wash
burn & Co. $4,000 for past infringe
ments, il now transpires that Washburn q
Co., pay Hash $4,000 for his pat
ents. Thus it would appear that the
Washburn monopoly have so little faith In
getting favorable decision in the supreme
court that they actually grant license to
his 'A patents as payment in full
for past infringements,. provided he
will abandon the prosecution Of his appea!!
to the United States supreme court. Could
any more conclusive evidence be desired to
show that Washburn & Co. know that their
broad claim would never be recognized by
the highest COURT How will the balance Of
the forty licensees, who have paid their
thousands to Washburn, relish this new de,
velopment Of Washburn's duplicity and
rascality? The whole combination is going
to pieces. If four farmers now stand firm,
and fight it through to the end, there can be
little doubt that the monopoly can be bro
ken up.
