A New Flying Machine.
From the st. James Gazette. ]

A new flying machine was tried near
West Drayton yesterday. This particu-
lar invention was worked by steam, and
actually did get as far as to rise from
the ground into the air for short dis
tance. In this respect it excelled some
of it's predecessors, which have Obstin-
ately refused to rise into the thin ele-
ment at ALL AS a rule, however, the
inventor of the flying machine takes
care to start from sufficient height, so
that the apparatus has TO navigate the
atmosphere at least until it reaches solid
earth. But the process is generally
performed With such rapidity that the
unfortunate inventor usually comes TO
earth In a condition which incapacitates
him from further experiment. From
Dgdalus downwards artificial wings
have not proved a success when applied
to the human body. Wings, or their
substitute in the shape of an @riel
screw propeller, must be worked by
some kind of machinery; and the diff
Guilty is to find one that combines the
requisite motive power and the requisite
ightness. If electricity does not solve
the problem we shall have to give it up.

Stretch out thine hand to me across the waste;
Alb, dear lost friend, see how between US roIls
An arid plain where wander weeping souls,
That seek for all the shadows they have chased,
while sadly wandering, torn by breads and fears
Amid the mazes of HES weary years.
Stretch out thine hand nor heed all that which es
Between my living form and thy dead heart.
Help me to play alone my listless part
Wherein see naught of those clear bright skies
we watched together, standing hand in hand,
To See the sunset deck the darkling land.
That time has come again. stand alone.
The hills no more may glad my waking sight
Save when between the darkness and the light
close my eyes Ind think; then each gray stone,
Each gentle hollow, each fair light and shade
Are mine, imprinted where time cannot fade.
Then why not come and sit beside the fire?
Make myself known! would not ask for more;
Would not cen question of that darksome shore
Where have lost thee, nor would l aspire
To gaze thin thine eyes. Let me but clasp
Thine hand in minel l could not fear thy grasp
Dear, thou art dead. Yet wilt thou not returnG
do not fear thee, for know thou'rt dead.
Cans't thou not feel this? Leave thy quiet bed
And watch with me the drift'wood redly burn,
Just as thou didst of old. Ills evenhde,
What keeps thee from thy friends hrestde?
l will not question more; methinks thou'rt here.
Yearning to whisper of thy presence sweet.
1 will be still; perchanoe I'll hear thy feet
Pause at my threshold, or thy whisper near.
1 will be still, for death is dumb, is dumb!
Thou canst not speak, so will feel thee come.

heved me greatly, and after using several bottles
found that it did me more good than all other medi-
cnes and treatment L have received combined And
to add to my good Union of Hunts Remedy, beg.
to state in closing that my wife has been for long
time troubled with a weakness and Inflammation of

peculiar to women. After using only two bottles she
has been completely cured and can say that my

The British West indies.
From the London Times.l

Yesterday fifty years ago the emanci-
patton act was passed. A couple of
years previously the value of West In
dian exports was SO, 932, 500. In 1880
the value of exports was 98, 904, 000
Meanwhile the population has grown
from 958, $40 to /, 493, O62. A population
of mere than half as much again pro-
duces for expectation millions worth
less. Of the diminished exports two
millions worth, it has been calculated,
is raised by the labor of a hundred thou
sand coolies. Each negro is computed
to produce not more than G5 worth of
exports as against more than double the
value half century since. Wages are
small. In Jamaica they are ordinarily
shilling day. In Barbados and Trim
idad, although the average is about the
same, men in crop time and by piece
work frequently earn double. Wages
of women are a fifth or a sixth less.
Three pounds of rice or three pounds
and half of corn meal, with ten ounces
of salt fish, or an equivalent quantity of
meat, are required to keep in health a
man and his wife if in regular work. On
a scale somewhat lower the food of a
household consisting Of two parents and
two children, it is reckoned, would ab-
sorb shilling and eightpence halfpenny
day, leaving little for rent, taxes and
clothes. In the United States similar
family would consume 480 pounds of
meat and 80 bushels of grain. Except
in Barbados and Trinidad the children
of the negroes are declared to be every
where miserable underfed. In Antigua,
it has been stated, the lamentations of
the hungry children are heard through
out the estates and villages while the
mothers are away at work. In many
places the infant mortality exceeds 80 per
cent. of the recorded deaths. A desire,
resulting from poverty, to escape the
pecuniary burdens of paternity shows
itself in the terrible figures of illegiti-
macy. Sixty per cent. of the births in
Jamaica are illegitimate.

Rockford Qn.) Cor. Chicago Inter-Ocean.J
Rufus Hatch, after years of success
full business on Wall Street, and having
acquired millions, finally comes to Rock
ford to get feeced. Sunday a trickster
named Holland was playing a sleight-of-
hand trick after the plan of the three
card m0' ~. He bad two boxes and a
cOuple ut wafefs These he would mix
ny and u quest Tie spectators to point
ont the one containing the waters. This
be successfully did several times, and
then, seemingly by chance, one of the
two waters fell to the floor. Rufus saw
the wafer on the floor, and when the
sharper asked which box the two waters
were under, Hatch said: "Why, you
haven't got two there!" "Bet you a V
[ have, was the reply. The money was
put up, the box lifted, and sure enough
there were the two waters. "Sold
again." Uncle Rufe said with laugh.
The trickster had showed another wafer
under unobserved. Rufe, with all his
Wall Street wisdom, did not know bet
ter than to bet on another mans game.
He said that Rockford was the place to
"dOwn" him after all, and he realizes
now that rogues are not only to be found
on Wall Street, but that even here in
the " county" one has to peel his eyes
to escape the tricks of sharper men.

SAUSAGE Justice in Germany,

[From the New York World.J
The course of Justice in Germany is
sometimes idiotic as well as comical.
The unreasoning dread of the Ameri-
can hog occasionally leads to criminal
proceeding which would be outrageous
were they not so ridiculous. A recent
case of this sort requires only a copy of
the judicial decision without any COM
ment to show how beneficial a glimmer-
ing of common sense would be to the
otherwise enlightened minds of the Teu-
tonic magistrates in question.
Little did Mr. Anton Nottker imagine
what trials and tribulations three quar-
tiers of pound of good Cincinnati saul
sage would cause him to undergo when
last spring he left the Queen City of the
west to visit the Fatherland and took
with him that quantity of one of the
prime dehcacies of Porkopolis as a It'd
bit for his relatives. On his arrival in
Meppen he was arrested on the charge
of bringing American meats into Ger
many, and the 9th of last July was reg
ularly tried in Bremen by a court of
three judges. The following Is literal
copy of the verdict and sentence, signed
by Judge VOlckers, the presiding magis-
trate:
"The accused is found guilty of a
violation of the imperial order of the 9Th
of March, 1883, and of the Bremen
municipal order of the 30th of the same
month, and is fined three marks and the
costs of the prosecution. 1t is further
ordered that the three quarters of a
pound of sausage be confscated and
destroyed.
" Reasons: It has beenactually proved
| by the evidence that the accused,
the 9Th day of June, 1888, brought into
Germany from America three-quarters
of pound of sausage.
GAS the imperial order of the 9th of
March, 1888, and the Bremen municipal
order of the 30th of the same month
were already in force said 9Th of June,
and ignorance of the law cannot save the
accused from punishment, a fine had to
be decreed in accordance with the Bre-
man municipal order. The court, how
ever, has taken into consideration the
extenuating circumstances and regarded
fine of three marks sufficient. The
destruction of the sausage is adjudged
In accordance with the order cited above,
and the payment of the costs follows
from Sec. 497 of the penal code"
