The Swallows.

The Swallows.
From the German of Chamisso)
Mother, mother, see the swallows
How they chirp and twitter there
See the young birds by the old ones
Fed with all mothers care.
While the darling little swallows
Wondrously their nest have made;
have watched them at my window,
AS each fibre they have laid.
After they had finished building,
From within their little nest
They gazed at me and stared in wonder
With look of vague unrest.
And they told me by their warbling
That they wished to talk to me;
And it made their warbling sadder
That their wish so vain should be.
While the mother bird is absent
They the silent watches keep;
See them stretch their heads, so little,
As from out the nest they peep.
And the old ones flying homeward,
Seem to breathe silent prayer;
What loving pair of swallows
AS they iced the young ones there
Mother, know you not how lately
On my bed in pain lay
Like the swallows. you so sweetly
Cared for me from day to day.

The following is a~synopsis OF the case
disposed of since our last report, which
will about close the business of the pres
ent term, as the Judge dismissed the

Sarah E. Stamback VS.. William Siam
back.-Suit for alimony. This couple
have scarcely been married long enough
to run through a good healthy honey
moon, but married quite young and very
likely before their Glove had fully ripen7
ed and it blasted early, and from the ev-
idence in the case no Philadelphia law
yer would be able to solve the trouble be-
tween them. The Judge dismissed the
case, and if there is not too much mother
in-law around it and other outside inter
ference, the couple will certainly make
up their minds before long to live and
Glove over" That is what they should
do. s-4

Mrs. Amelia Lewis, in FooD AND
HEALTH, claims that smallpox is not a
disease which ''human flesh is heir to-"
but a disease created by neglect of the
laws of nature. Over-rich nourishment,
or inferior nourishment, neglect of nitro
genous or strength-supplying food; neg
lect of food containing sulphur, phospho-
rus, and iron, and neglect of food o n
tanning acids, are a few Of its causes
Neglect in dealing with the evaporation
of the skin is another cause. Old cloth
ing, rooms that have no fresh air admit
ted to them, and are STUFFED up" with
furniture, are further causes; "houses
through which no fresh air draft ever
passes, another; uncleaned places with
garbage about, another; sewer-gas, an
other; want Of personal cleanliness, an
other. Wherever evil conditions pre-
vail, especially in neighborhoods that are
not blessed with the best air, smallpox
will take root" She claims that one of
the most effective a to prevent the
poison from spreading and intensifying
is the use of the fumes of vinegar. eff
persons who are or have been in contact
with smallpox patients will breathe
these vinegar fumes it will be a sure pre-
ventive of contagion." Sponging the
body off with water in which vinegar has
been mixed is recommended, and drink
ing vinegar and water occasionally. As
to preventive diets and the clothing to be
worn, she recommends that less meat
and more fish be eaten to supplement
this with green vegetables as much as
possible; to drink tea and little coffee,
none at all; to take milk every day;
to avoid all greasy dishes and salt meats,
heavy pies and cakes, thick soups, and
everything of a heating character; to do
everything to keep the heat of the blood
temperate, and not to overhead it by any
means; to drink nc rum, no port, no
whisky, no ale; to change clothing often,
and not to wear too heavy cloth clothing /;
to keep no flannel clothing on longer
than a few days; to wear a silk or cot
ton dress rather than a wooden one; to
keep the neck free from all impediments,
and to put aside furs for the time alto
gether.

In compliance with the above demand
Coroner F. NJ. Michael and DIR. P. M.
Small proceeded to hold an inquest, went
to Sugar Hill Cemetery and exhumed
the body and held a PosT-MoRTEM at the
Township House near New Lexington,
and then began to take testimony of the
knowing ones, consuming two days in
the inquiry. But of all the witnesses ex-
amined not a person among the signers
could be found that knew anything about
violence being used. All they knew was
what somebody else told them, and they
did not know who told them anything!
The evidence from beginning to end clear
ly indicated that the petitioners had no
good grounds whatever upon which to
base their demand for an inquest, and the
whole affair was gotten up by a gang of
"know nothings'' and busy g~ossippers
who usually attend to every body's bu-
siness but their own. The petitioners
are not the men who own the fine farms
around and through the rich valley of
Twin and contribute to defraying the ex-
penses of holding inquests, and it looks
as if it was a "pic-nic" got up for the IS
cents witness fees in it, for there was not
a particle of evidence to sustain the de-
mand of an inquest, as the testimony of
the physicians Drs. Small, Hill, Grouse,
and the verdict of Coroner Michael clear
ly show, which is, "that Miss Shiflet
came to her death from congestion and
other diseased conditions OF the kid
neys." There vas not a single trace or
indication about her organs or on her
body to show hat violence or undue
means had been used to produce death.
The poisonous tongue of SANDER had
associated the names of DIR. Hill and
John H. Marley in IN unpleasant and
criminal connection with the death OF
the young lady, in this-that Mr.. Mar,
key had ruined the girl and that DR..
Hill had produced an abortion, but after
the thorough investigation Of the Coro'

of Emma Shiflet, a domestic in the house

all kinds of dark deeds were whispered

accorded Mr.. John A. Stevens. and his
popular play of Unknown" The play
is highly sensational, Astounding in ex-

the end. 1t is not a one part play either,
there being several interesting and fine

freshing to see an actor of Mr.. Stevens
earnest, robust style. These it is but
truth to say, being too scarce in these
days of drama. Miss Lottie Church and
other members of his company are ex-
cellent in their work and add much to
the pleasure of the performance. The
play was well set and several of the seem

severer symptoms, which terminate in tho

A PER1LoUs VOYAGE.
The Adventure of the Schooner Eliza
beth W. Smith.

A narrow escape fIom laundering was that
Of the schooner Elizabeth W. Smith, Cap
tain L. w. Jewett of this port She left
this port for La Have, Friday, March 10th,
making good run. After the arrival at the
fishing grounds she made one set of her nets
and was rewarded with a catch of 25.OOO
pounds of fish.
On Friday, the 18th, the vessel took a strong
breeze from the northeast which freshened in
to gale, and required the crew to reef the
sails. The gale increasing in severity, three
reefs were taken and the vessel headed for the
land in the hope of making harbor, but, ow-
ing to the thick fog, the attempt failed The
wind blew away the reefed sails and an at
tempt was made to clay a-hull," that is, with
out sails.
Saturday morning the storm had increased
to that extent that terrible sea broke over
the schooner clearing her decks of everything
movable. including six dories and washing
away Daniel Mcfarland and Fred Hillen OF
Cape Elizabeth, and Calvin Swasey of Glou-
cester AS the three men were swept over
board Mcfarland passed SO near the captain
that the latter seized his shoulder, and clutch
ed him with so terrible grip that he actually
tore piece of flesh from McFarland's arm. 1t
was grip that could not be shaken, and as the
sea receded the man was drawn on to the YES
sci, which had been thrown on to its beam
ends. Ropes flung out by the crew on board
were seized by the other two men and they
were saved One of them who had been swept
over the weather ratings had managed to
climb on the vessels keel as she lay on her
beam ends.
AT last by shifting fish, the vessel righted
somewhat, sufficiently so to enable her to scud
before the wind until the cargo had been stow.
ed SO that the schooner entirely righted. The
gale gradually died away, and the vessel made
port yesterday morning. 1t was remarkable
asnann.
