The Wandering jew in HULL

This Jew was born at jerusalem, and
was by Trade Shoe MAKER; when Our
Saviour was going to the Place of Cru
cifixion, being Weary and F int, he
would have sat down to Rest at the
Shoe-Maker's Stall; but the Shoe-Mak-
er came to the Door, and, splitting in
our Lords Face, buffetted him from the
Door, saying, That was no Place of
Abode for him-On which Christ said,
For this Thing thou shalt never Rest,
but wander till come again upon the
Earth From this he is called the
Wandering Jew of Jerusalem. Now,
according to this saying of Our Saviour
x < this Man had no Power to return
Home, brt went about wandering from
Place to Place ever since, even unto this
day. *** Some Time since he land

Harrison, in order 10 assist him in the
Examination of so remarkable Per
sonage that they might be sure wheth-
er he was an Imposter or no. They
asked him concerning the breaking OF
the Locks of the Room in which he had
been shut up. He told them, if they

chains, it would avail nothing. human

Killed by Cosmetics.
81. Louis Globe- Democrat

Among the burial permits issued by
the Board of Health yesterday, was one
for the interment of Alice Lamont, a
variety actress who died at the Female
Hospital the day previous. The GER
tificate of death issued by the attending
physician at the hospital, indicated that
death had resulted from chronic lead
poisoning. An examination OF the
circumstances of the case discovered
the fact that the deceased had been in
the habit of using cosmetics freely, pre-
paratory to appearing on the stage, a
habit largely INDUCED in not only 10y
actresses but by young ladies generally:
1t appears that the cosmetics contained
lead. and probably other compounds
equally deleterious to health, and when
used in large quantities impregnated
her system and produced lead poison
ing, eliminating in the death OF the
victim. Very little information could
be ascertained concerning the antece'
dents of the deceased other than that
she had been in the city but short
time. and that her husband was employ.
ed at the Globe Theatre, on Morgan
street.

All. whittier strays TIE immortal mindl
II cannot die, it cannot stay,
But leaves its darkened dust behind.
Then embodied, doth it trace

Or ill at once the realms OF space
A thing of eyes that all survey

All all Il! ,arth or skies displayed,
Shall il survey, shall it recall.
Each fainter trace that memory holds
So darkly of departed years
In one broad glance the soul beholds,
And all that was at once appears
Before creation peopled earth
Its ewes shall roll through chaos back
And where the farthest heaven had birth
The spirit traces its rising track,
And where the future mars or makes
It's glance dilate DER all to be,
While sun is quenched or system breaks
Fixed in its own eternity.
Above for love, hope, hate or fear,
1t lives all passionless and pure.
An age shall feet like earthly year;
Its years as monuments shall endure,
Away away, without wing
O'er all, through all, its thoughts shall iiy

Prog n0stlcs OF Weather Derived from
Twilight

Since the colors aud doration of twilight,
especially at evening, depend upon the amount
of condensed vapor which the atmosphere
contains, these appearances should afford
some indications of the weather which may
be expected TO succeed.
The following are some of the rules which
are relied upon by seamen: When, after
sunset, the western sky is Of awhtish yellow,
and this tint extends great height, it is prob
able that it will rain during the night or next
day.
Candy or unusual hues, with hard, definitely
outlined clouds, furetell rain and probably
wind.
If the sun before setting appears dlhuse
and of brilliant white, it toretels storm.
If it sets in sky slightly purple, the at
mosphere near the zenith being of bright
blue, we may rely upon fine weather.-Prof.
Loemis.

baby, 26 inches long, with fingers like a

The republican Senators are not making
anything by wasting the time OF the Senate
on the question of its organization. The
Senate has been callcd together for the pur-
pose of confirming the nominations made by
the President, and the election of lot of
new officers by the votes of the Vice Presi-
dent and Mr.. Malone is not an essential pre-
liminary. The republicans can, it is con-
ceded, elect officers, and they have already
arranged the committees. When the regular
session commences, il is understood that the
new officers of the senate will be republican
and readjusters. The actual questions; there

was convened. Executive sessions can be
held daily while the deadlock over the Off
GERS continues. Every nomination pending
can be disposed Of and the wrangling and
contention over the officers continue after the
public interests have been cared for. The
republican senators seem to prefer, instead
to occupy position in which the republican

How They Travelled In the aiood Old
Time.

In the sixteenth year of the reign of Charles
III. Of England was established the first turn
pike road where toll was taken, which iuter-
sected the counties of Hertford Cambridge
and Huntingdon. Until the middle of the
eighteenth century, however, most of the
merchandise conveyed from place to place
was transported on pack horses through short
distances. Between distant places cart was
used, pack horse not being able to transport
a sufficient quantity of goods to pay the cost
of the jOurn"y. The common carrier between
Seikirk and Edinburgh, a distance of thirty
eight miles, required fortnight for his jour
ney, going and returning. In 1878 a coach
for passengers between EdiAburgh and Glas-
gov, distance of forty four miles, was
drawn by six horses, and the journey to and
fro was completed i'll six days. In 1750
TIE coach took thirty.siN hours to the Jour-
ney. In lS49 the same route was made, by
route three miles longer, in one hour and a
half!
In the year 1853 there was but one stage
coach between Edinburgh and London. I his
started once month from each of these ci-
ties. 1t took Il fortnight to perform the jour
ney.
In 1885 seven coaches started daily between
London and Edinburgh, which performed the
journey IN less than forty eight hours.
In liOo tne hummer OF passengers Oy the
coaches between Edinburgh and London did
not exceed abont twenty-five monthly. In
1885 the coaches conveyed about 14O passen-
gers daily.
Until the close of the last century the in
| ternal transport of goods in England was per-
formed by wagon, and was so expensive as to
exclude every object except manufactured al
ticles and such as, being of light weight and
small bulk in proportion to their value, would
allow high rate Of transport. Thus the
charge from London to Leeds was at the rate
of 9l3 ton, being i3sd. per ton per miie.
Between Liverpool and Manchester it was
40s. ton, or l5d. per ton per mile. Heavy
articles, such as coal ana other materials
could only be available for commerce where
their position favored transportation by sea
and, consequently, many of the richest dis
tricts of the Kingdom remained unproductive
