James Sharkey on Thursday last. dur

After the hearing. the girls started
down the West Jersey Railroad track,
to return home, but got full of liquor
on the way. As they were staggering
along the east track, an old negro nam

A Philadelphia coroner's jury last
week found that the death of a child
was caused By an overdose of DR.. Bulls
cough syrup, one of the nostrums most
extensively advertised and used. DIR.
Blackwood, "A witness at the inquest,
said that he bad been frequently called
in to eounteract the effect of these CON
pounds and that the danger attending
their use was much greater than the
people al be made to believe. These
Dostrums depend for their efficacy upon
opiates aud the stupor which they in
duce in children is mistaken by moth
ers for comfort and repose; bu. where
is the mother who would knowingly ad
minister an opiate, rs laudamm or
paregoric, in quantities sufficient to
produce the same effect? This safest
way is to employ your physician when
anything ails your children.

The trial of Sergeant Mason is o
noanced by General Swain illegal, and
will probably lie put aside. There are
many legal points to be determined as
the result of the trial. ODe is whether
Mason can be again put in jeopardy for
the same effense. There is \ ridicu-
lous phase to this matter. We have
scarcely enough army to talk about.
and what We have is regularly depleted
by desertlons. To talk of the necessi-
ty, in order to the maintenance of dis
eipllne, of using such severe harshness
toward Mason is absurd. No doubt he
shot toward Guiteau's cell, but with
no chance of doing him injury. 1t was
a breach of military discipline-but not
a solitary case. lie should have been
tried byjury in the civil courts.

useful forage plant, while at the same
time its extensive system of roots store
away in the soil still larger quantity.
prepared exactly to suit the delicate
feeders of the wheat which is to follow
it. The clover plant has long and pow
erful roots, which penetrate the sub
soil and bring up the mineral elements
required--the phosphates, the lime, the
potash, and distribute them all through
the surface soil, ready to be absorbed
by the succeeding crop.
But the elaboration of this plant food
is not the only good office that clover
performs. Its rootlets penetrate every
portion of the soil, compacked and
cloddy by long cultivation, and by their
decay pulverize and put it in the best
possible condition for the cOmpara-
lively feeble wheat roots to feed upon.
This pulverization is very important
part of wheat culture--it is mainly
this that summer following accom-
plishes, and clover does it in the most
perfect manner. This explains why it
is often of about as much benefit to
turn under clover sod, without the
tops as with them.
1t may be said that this is theory.
But this is theory founded on solid
fact and experience. Our most sue
cessful farmers have long ago found it
out, and practiced alternating wheat
and clover. Thousands have been
forced to adopt it by cosetly experience.
Shall we, with unexhausted lands. not
take warning in time? Successive
wheat crops will surely result in dis
aster--while frequent alterations Of.
clover will sustain the productive pow
er indefinitely.

"It Is a Public Scandal"

Chicago Times.
Concerning the trial of the assassin,
The Observer, of London, states the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
in five words: at is public scan
dal."
Admitting the statement to be true
that the complete license given by the
court to the prisoner, throughout Il
trial, to convert our criminal judica-
ture into vulgar farce has been in
pursuance of the concurrent judg-
ment of all the district judges, the
fact remains the same-it is a public
scandal.
There may have been grave doubts
on the mind Of Judge Cox, and Of all
the judges with whom he has held
ment of decorous behavior upon the
prisoner would not prejudice public
justice by creating public sympathy for
malefactor who would thus seem TO
be dealt with arbitrarily. But the ex-
istence of such doubt only goes to
make the scandalous character of the
trial more obvious. 1t is an equiya-
lent to All admission that justice, in
America, could not be fairly admins
tered in an orderly, decorous and dig
nified manner-at least, that there is a
trait of American society which rem
ders it probable that it could not be.
To attain the ends of justice in capi-
tai cases, it is, therefore, necessary to
suffer particularly wicked prisoner
to convert the courtroom daily into an
arena of ribald buffoonery.
1t is public scandal. In no light
that it can be examined, upon no con-
siderations that can be suggested or
imagined, can anything else be made of
it. 1t is the most scandalous trial that
has ever been witnessed in this coun-
try. The whole nation feels properly
ashamed OF it.
In an English "Blue Book" there is a
statement of the average prices Of black
slaves sold in Egypt-1870-S0-f which
ii seems that the value Of the human chat
tells is increasing. Thus, in 1870 the price
of Nubian boy was from G8 to 912; in
1867, from elO to $l4; in 1S79.8o, from
e1O to 9l6. Girls are higher, ranging from
go to f20; adults from 9l0 TO EOS. Abys-
sinians are somewhat dearer than Nubians.
In 1870 boys cost from 9l0 to 916; now
they cost from 912 to fA girls are about
80 per cent dearer, and adults fetch from
600 to ESQ.
