 On Wednesday last. the therm6meters in Woodbury marked twenty-five below zero. or only three degrees less than it was on New Year day. About here people were eating green peas and tomatoes.
 A Bridgeport man sat squarely down on the sidewalk and on the impulse of the moment yelled that he had broken his leg. Served him right. No business to carry his leg in his hip-pocket. sAvW EE A An exchange says International debt in silver dollars could be removed by rail by loading i've thousand five hundred and fifty cars with ten tons each. We can't believe it. If it was 90, why isn't it done?

A Quaint Custom.

On Friday afternoon a quaint Gus
tom was observed at the Office of the
Queens Remembrance (Sir Frederick
Pollock at the Royal Courts of Justice,
where the formal services due to the
Crown on behalf of the Corporation of
London in respect of certain of their
property were duly rendered. Mr.. Sc
condary De Jersey and Sir Thomas j.
Nelson, the City Solicitor, with Mr..
Archibald Hamburg, the late Under
Sheriff, attended there, and proclamation
having been made as follows -" Tenants
and occupiers of piece of waste ground
called the Moors in the county CT Salop
come forth and do your service" the
City Solicitor presented himself, and cut
one tagot with Ratchet, and another
with bill hook. Proclamation was then
made" Tenants and occupiers of GER
tain tenement called the Forge, in the
parish of st. Clement Danes, in the coun-
ty of Mlddlesex, come forth and do your
service" The City Solicitor, in answer
to that, counted six horse-shoes and
slxty-one nails, the Queens Remem-
brancer saying Good number" With
that the proceedings ended. English

| remember how, at CAMBRIDGE, I
walked with her once in the Fellows Gar
den OF Trinity, on an evening of rainy
May; and she, stirred somewhat beyond
her wont, and taking as her text the
three words which have been used so Of
ten as the inspiring trumpet-call of men,
the words God, Insmo1tohtq, DUTY
pronounced, with terrible earnestness
how Uncomfortable was the first. how
unbelievable the second, and yet how
peremptory and absolute the third
Never, perhaps, have sterner accents
affirmed the sovereignty of impersonal
and unrecompensing Law. 1 listened,
and night fell her grave, majestic coun-
tenance turned toward me like a sibyls
in the gloom it.was as though she with
drew from my grasp, one by one, the two
scrolls OF promise, and left me the third
scroll only, awful with inevitable fates.
And when we stood at length and parted,
amid that columnar circuit of the forest
trees, beneath the last twilight of starless
skies, | seemed to be gazing, like Titus
at Jerusalem, on vacant seats and empty
ha!ls,-on sanctuary with no Presence
to hallow it, and heaven left lonely of

An Antidote to Snake Poison

Our doctors and men of science will
be sadly remiss if they do not follow
up the very promising experiments re-
Gently made by M. de Lacerda in the
direction of cure for snake-bite. He
has found that permanganate of potash
positively counteracts the poison Of SER
penis. In first series of experiments a
solution of the poison was injected into
the tissues of dogs, and its effects were.
as usual swellings, assesses, loss of sub
stance and destruction of tissues. When.
however, one per cent solution of per-
manganate of potash had been injected
two minutes after the poison the local in
Juries were quite obviated; there was
merely slight swelling where the
syringe-point entered. Injection into the
veins was then tried, and the perman-
ganate again succeeded perfectly. In
only two cases out of thirty did failure
occur, the particular animals being
young and badly fed; also the antidote
was gwen at too long an interval after
tire poison, when the heart was already
tending to stop. The permanganate, in
one series OF cases, was introduced half a
minute after solution of venom. and
the dog showed no suffering at all be-
yond agitation and acceleration of the
heart for few minutes. In another
series the characteristic mischief caused
by the poison was allowed to manifest
itself before the antidote was given.
After two or three minutes, always in
five, every trouble disappeared; Slight
general prostration followed for fifteen
to twenty-five minutes, after which the
animal would walk, and even run about
and resume its normal aspect. Other
dogs poisoned similarly, but not receiv.
ing the antidote, died more or les,
quickly. Here is proof, well-nieh posi-
tive, that Condy's fluid, which contain,
the permanganate, might save countless
lives in India and other snake-haunted
lands. The reason seems suggested in
M. Pasteur's late experiments poi.
son-germs are oxygenated into harmless

bia also yield up its terrible secret tc

The Theatre of Esculapius.

The Greek Archaeological Society is
nowlse backward in prosecuting its in
quiries into the subterranean treasures
OF the country. One of the most interest
ing discoveries it has yet made is that
OF. theatre called the Theatre of Escu-
iiaplus, near Epidaurus, which is said to
have been built by Polycletus, the rival
OF Phldlas. A detailed description of
the ruins has been transmitted to Paris.
and represents the edifce as capable of
containing at least 10000 people, and
almost equaling in size the theatre at
Megalopolis, in Arcadia. 1t is situated
about eight miles from the sea-coast be-
tween Epidaurus and Nauplia, and on
the slope of hill of which the summit is
crowned by a once sacred grove. The
natural amphitheatre of turf upheld a
structure OF similar form, modelled into a
succession of semicircular benches. ar
ranged In 2 divisions. The lower of these
contained blocks of seats, each contain
ing 81 rows, and reached By means of -
stalrcases. The upper and larger portion
contained 20 rows Of seats and was en-
tered by means of % staircases. A great
part OF the building has, of course, now
been displaced, and lies buried at some
depth IN the soil. In fact, the large
open space at the bottom of the hill is
found to be crowded with all sorts OF
architectural debris precipitated from the
heights above into the valley. Detached
pieces OF marble, broken columns, and
capitals attest the solidity and beauty Of
the work in its original condition, and
there are also a great number of statues
though most of these are in a verv
