How Babe Caused the Acquittal Of
Its mother In a Paris Court.

a poor pale seamstress was ar
raigned tor theft. She appeared at
the bar with her baby of eleven
months OH her arm. She went tn
get some work one day and stole
three gold coins of ten francs each.
The money was missed soon after
she left her employer, and II servant
was sent to her room to claim 1t.
The servant found her about to quit
the room with the three gold coins
in her hand. She said to the ser.

back to YOU" Nevertheless she was
carried TO the commissioners OF pc.
lice, and he ordered her to be sent
to the police court for trial. She
was too poor to engage q lawyer,
and when asked by the judge what
she had to say for herself, she
answered.: "The day ! went TO my
employers | carried my child with
me. II was in my arms AS 1t Is now.
| wasn't paying attention TO it..
There were several gold coins on
the mantlepiece, and unknown to
me, it stretched ont it's little hand
and seized three pieces, which | did
not observe until got home. at
once put on my bonnet and WAS
going back to my employer to re
turn them, when | was arrested.
This is the solemn truth, as hope

The court could not believe this
story. They upraided the mother

her own sake, to retract 80 absurd

A Quaker Printers Proverbs.

Never sendest thou an article for
publication without giving the edi'
tor thy name, for thy name often
times secures a publication to
worthless articles.
Thou should'st not rap OIL the
door Of the printing Office, for he
that answereth the rap sneereth in
his sleeve and loseth time.
Neither do you loaf about, ask
questions, or knock down type, or
the bows will love thee like they do
shade trees when thou leaveth.
Thou should'st never read the
copy on the printers case, or the
sharp aud hooked container thereof,
or he may knock thee down.
Never inquire thou of the editor
for the news, for behold it is his
business ut the appointed time to
give il to thee without asking.
II is not right that thou should'st
ask him who is the author OF an
article, for his dnty requires him
to keep such things to himself.
When thou dost enter into his
Office, take heed to thyself that
thou dost not look ut what may be
lying upon the table and concern
eth thee not, for that is not met il
the sight of good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof
sheet for it is not ready to NEE
thy sight as thou mayest under
stand.
Prefer thine own town paper t
any other and be sure to subscrib'
tor it Immediately.
Pay for it in advance, and !
shall be well for thee and thine.

An eccentric Berlin philosopher
announces that he has discovered
WAY to max trip around the world
in tw-nty.fou hours. He says that
he is informed by the captains Of
ships that birds are seen at sea a
thousand miles or more from land,
and pronounce 1t self.evident that
they must reach shore in very
short time, since they cannot find n
resting place in mid ocean. From
this he conceived the idea that they
merely raise themselves alott, and,
with only enough motion to keep
atloat, remain as nearly stationary
as possible, while the earth revOlves
around under them. All they then
have TO do is to wait until the desir-
ed spot on the earth's surface comes
along, and therenp0n comfortably
, 10 lower themselves to solid ground.
This ingenious practice OH the part
of birds the Berlin man proposes to
initiate for mankind with the assist
ance of u balloon add passenger cal
of peculiar construction that he had
invented, and which will soar alott
and remain stationary, while the
restless earth rolls on below. II
does not appear that he has success
fully tried a trip with his balloon
himself, but he has laid bis theory
before the Polytechnic Society Of
Berlin, aud given an elaborate ex
position of it. The Society received
it apparently with levity, but the
inventor is ia dead earnest.

Extent Of our Railroads.

There are now nearly 100000
miles of road in operation in the

country owes an incalculable debt
for their development of resources
