 It is reported that Judge Blydenburg went to New York yesterday afternoon to see his client Miss Douglass. It is also reported that Chief of Police Webster and detective took the boat last evening for New York. THE DRUG THEORY.
 A prominent physician of this city was l consulted last evening as to the probabilities of finding traces of drugging in the autopsy after the lapse of several days, as in this case. l His view was that if morphine or ehloroform or chloral were administered traces of it would be faint. The traces of it would be in the brain in such case as this, and probably too faint for positive proof. If, however, laudanum were administered in any consid-
 erable quantity, in such a case of course it
 could be detected.

The south winds my henchman, the blue sky's my
banner,
And earth is tho darling love;
At noontide watt scented breezes to fan her,
And brood her at night like a dove.
Bright hope in tho sprlngtlme, with blossoms

The summer with roses crown;
And to autumn give cheer, that the poor may no

When tho snow clouds Of winter sweep down.
In vineyard and cornfeld with welcome I'm greeted
Where Joyous are laughter and song;
And hearts warm and thankful, for blessings re
peated,
Soft vespers at nightfall prolong
love to give more than the reapers can gather
When harvest time gladdens the land;
That the rich may romcmber when thanking "ou
Father"
To leave for the poor cleaners hand.
JOY In the tulness OF orchard aud garden,
With fruit hanging ripe in the air;
SO spreading my bounty that no heart may harder
And none oe left out OF my care.

Love hides away in the meadow sweet,

TO tempt too near little wayward feet.
Down, deep down In the blossoming grass,
THAT rrstles dreamy all day long,
And only the yellow butterflies pass
And the grecn-gold bees with their humdrul

Golden buttercups lean above.
And daisies white with hearts all gold
Golden lilybes nod their love,
And the golden sunshine all doth fold
What wonder young Bobollnk springs to air
With 1lecks Of light In his pumage caught!
What wonder his songs medley rare
OF all things golden and free and fair,
And a song with ecstasy fraught! rr.

bead Leaves and Their Uses.

We very naturally admire growing
leaves, and cannot help q feeling of sad
ness when they wither and fall. A cas-
ual look at the fallen leaves gives us the
idea that their work is done, and that
therefore He who has wonderfully
created them permitted them to decay.
But those who give more than passing
look find that, though their ornamental
life is over, their useful life is but be-
ginning. You pause perhaps, and for o
moment wonder how dead leaves are
utilized but so many varities are used
that 1t would be impossibleto to name them
all, 80 we will only refer to the most
common. Of these it is only fair to
state that many of them are not allowed
to wlther on the tree, the reason being
to preserve q larger amount of the es-
senco of the leaf. For example, the
leaves of the tea plant are allowed to
grow to acertain stage, md are then
gathered and dried quickly in tho sun.
Ofcourse, every one knows that the death
OF leaf is usually caused by the drying
up of the sap, on which it depends for
nourishment; 80 that by forcing the
leaves to do more quickly than they
! naturally would, more of the taste or ea-
senco of the leaf is retained And so
dead ten leaves are Of use to provide DR..
! JohnGOn'S favOrte beverage, d" tea." OF
course, thcre are many different kinds Of
| ten, lut they arc not under our conSid-
Grafton; sufficient is it if you consider
| that that most common of all eommodi-
tics Is simply dead leaves.
Next, let us take tobacco as being an
article i'll common use. This plant is
native Of America, and is supposed to
| Hrot 10 H.
| Sir Walter Raleigh, who taught his coun-
| trymcn to smoke it. The leaves only
arc used, and great care is taken in its
cultivation to bring these to perfection,
and the drying and preparing for use is q
long and difficult process but no one
looking at n cigar or the usual tobacco
can for moment doubt it's being any
thing but dead leaves.
1t would be long and difficult task to
name all the dead leaves which are used
by hCrbaliSts and doctors but many Of
the moro simple kinds of the class Of
leaves known rs herbs are of great use In
cookery, such as thyme. mint, sage,
etc.
Having mentioned these individual
leaves, you will probably say these are
very few; not a hundredth part Of the
leaves there are, aud granting them to
be hmdrcdth part, what becomes OF
the ninety-nine kinds left? Many leaves
are allowed to drop off the trees and
decay to II certain extent, and are thel
! used for manure to enrich the ground,
that it may bring forth more leaves
which all in their turn will also decay.
Then, again, it is an acknowledged fac
that the dccayed vegetation of centuries
in fact, whole forests which have
died and been rcplaccd-go to form G
large proportion Of our coal

The Cost Of n Thief.

A woman recently arrested is supposed
TO have been shop lifting and stealing in
other ways for about twenty Years. barr
ing two years that she spent in prison
and her cost to the community has prob.
ably been ten times as much ms the sum
OF what she had realized by her various
peculations. The pickpockct ia bad
enough, although his victim loses only
what the thief gains the shop-liGter. or
burglar, however, to gain $fO or $40,
must steal property worth five or ten
times as much. He dare not sell what
he finds, SO he takes it to n "fence !"
who disposes of it at very low price,
and pockets half of the proceeds. The
thief who steals lot of silverware and
melts it, gets about one.third as much
as his victim loses, while the earroter
who snatches $500 watch gets the value
OF the gold in the case--$40 or $50. per-
haps. A man or woman, therefore, who
supports family by stealing costs the
community $l0, 900 or more year, and
IL compelled to take care" of q police
man or two to avoid being molested, the
~ amount ls greater. And yet. in spite of
me enormous expenses which thieves
nl1ilct on the community, no other evil
ooers are SO tenderiy left alone by police
hen and detectives. .-NeW York Hcr0L1,
