SENT TO PRIsoN.-The jury i1i the case of ex-Treasurer Polk of Tennessee on Thursday morning brought in 8 verdict of guilty of embezzlement, fixing the penalty at Imprisonment in the penitentiary for twenty years and imposing fine to the full amount of the embezzlement.
 Marshal T. Polk is nephew of Presi- dent James K. Polk and cousin of Bishop Leonidas Polk, who met his death while wearing the uniform of confederate gen eral. He lost leg in the confederate ser vice, and that circumstance combined with social influence and genial disposi- tion to give him considerable popularity. In January he was serving his second term as treasurer of the state of Tennessee. When he refused to pay the January in- terest on the bonds of the state, Chatta- nooga newspaper charged him with defal- cation, and thereby excited popular indig- nation against itself for what was then re- garded as calumny.
 On January it WAS announced in the legislature that Polk was defaulter to the amount of not less than $4O0, 900. In it's unexpectedness this announcement had the effect of bolt from clear sky. h. tense excitement prevailed in Tennessee, and for a short while incredulity held back belief. Polk had, however, disappeared, and an investigation of his office left no reason to doubt his guilt. The fugitive was traced to Texas and arrested. He vainly tried to bribe his captor and was sent back to Nashville Strenuous efforts were made by his influential friends to ef- feet compromise with the state, but with out success. It was only after long delay that 8 jury was secured.

DAN R1cE's BIG GAME OF PoKER. R.-''It was on my trip to Pittsburg, up the Ohio, that played my last game of cards" said Col. Dan Rice. "It was in 49, on board the steamer Revolution, and have never turned card for pleasure or profit since. I don't think ever told this circumstance before. I used to be terribly fond of poker. It was great game in the old days, and is yet, guess. I had about $40O, 900 with me in money and property, and owned the steamboat on which we were travelling. My ring master, Canada Bill, the famous gambler, who died in Reading, Pa., couple of years ago, 8 young blood from Wheeling, and myself constituted the party at poker that night. When we quit was $282, ,OOO ahead.
 "You must have held some remarkable hands during the game, Colonel, suggest ed the reporter.
 "No, sir; it wasn't that so much as it was I had more money than they. They put up their watches and diamonds, and my wife was nearly crazy, for she never knew played cards. gave them their iewelry back, but kept the cash. Canada Bill lost about $10O, ,O00, and the Wheeling chap about $8O,0OO. Canada Bill was a notorious gambler and played high, but l that was the biggest game he ever played, guess.

DOCS STRANGE ARRIVAL AT A STUDIO.

An engraving of Woolners bust of Ten nyson's, used as frontispiece, and two beautiful full page pictures of Thorny- croft's masterpieces are among the illus tration's to Edmund w. Gosse's "Living English Sculptors," in the June Century. The writer tells the following anecdote of the dog in the statue of "Artemus" sIn 1880, MT. Thornycroft made another great stride forward with his 'Artemus, statue of heroic size, which has since been placed in marble in Eaton Hall, the seat of the duke of Westminster. The goddess ad- vances through the forest, and suddenly rests her steps as she sees the quarry in front of her; with dignifed action she lays her hand over her right shoulder and takes an arrow from the quiver, which rests on her left The other hand, with her bow in it, passes behind her back and is drawn against her right hip by her hound, which has, strayed on the wrong side. This dog has been much admired, and little anecdote concerning it, which has not been recorded, may be worth tell ing. The sculptor had arrived at the point when he wanted hound as model and he could find none that suited him. On the very day when dog was to have been finally fixed upon, there came to the stu l dio very beautiful deer-hound, without any color or mark of ownership, which seemed to have suffered much privation, and absolutely refused to go away. The model was exactly what MT. Thornycroft wanted, and while every effort was made to find the dogs master the charming creature sat for her portrait. Nobody claimed her, and she became the pet of the household but the effects of her long ex- posture brought on decline, and, in spite of all the care that was taken of her, she died on the night of the day when the model was finished. A Greek would have said with, the utmost confidence, that the goddess had sent her, and when her work was done had taken her away again.

The 4OOth anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther, which occurs in November of the present year, will be commemorated throughout the Protestant world. In Washington it is proposed to signalize the occasion by the erection of monument to the honor of Luther. The plan contem- plated was to have the center part of the Luther monument in Worms, Germany, in Munich and erected in front Hof Memorial church, corner of Fourteenth street, Vermont avenue. As the time for the recasting of the whole center part was found too short, however, to admit of the unveiling by Nov. 10, and the entire amount for defraying the cost was not se- cured, it was decided to erect the figure of Luther alone, for which purpose $7, ,OOO has to be raised by subscription. As soon as the funds necessary for the completion of the pedestal, estimated at about $20, ,000, are provided for, the other part will also be ordered for execution. aLI 4,

DIVISION OF TIME.

Probably no better division of time has ever been made than that into three equal periods of eight hours each, eight hours being given to business, eight to eating and amusements, and the remaining eight to sleep. The celebrated Alfred divided his time in this way. aA- I have long thought that the native American requires more sleep than the av- craze European. For myself, find that nine or ten hours in single night will cure me of all the trifing maladies which, from time to time, may be afflicted. Some extraordinary advice has been given by certain writers with reference to the time devoted to sleep; but each writer a rule to all, which he finds good in his own case. Bishop Taylor advises three hours. Wesley suggests six as the least time that will answer. He declares that during his life he never knew any one to retain vigorous health, even for year. with 8 less quantity of sleep than six hours, and he thought that women required more | than men.
 Willich advises to go to bed at eight o'clock, and rise at three or four o'clock in the morning; not bad on some accounts. but liable to injure the eyes.
 Excess of sleep is very bad in it's infiu- ence, produces dullness of mind and body, corpulency, disposition to apoplexy hence Galen calls sleep the brother of death, and says nothing is more pernicious when car ried to excess.
 Thin Yankees should go to bed at nine 1 o'clock, and rise between five and six. I do not mean to say that circumstances may never justify their sitting up till mid night, or later, but am simply interpret ing the voice of physiology If the aver age American, with his narrow chest and small vitality, would retire at nine o'clock, he would live some years longer, and each year would afford him more happiness and ability to work. But Yankee women most need a change to early hours. Their crazy nerves, neuralgia, and other evidences of premature decay, would be at once check ed, and they would become younger and fairer. What with tight corsets, pastry, candies, furnace-heat and midnight, Tan kee girls begin to fail at twenty, and wo- men are old at forty.-Dio Lewis.

TRIBUTE To TEE SISTERS or MERCY.

Rev. Henry. Ward, Beecher, in speaking of the recent death of member of his con- gregation, paid touching tribute to the noble Sisters of Mercy. In describing the young mans last hours the Rev. gentle man said:
 "He selected beforehand the hospital to which he was to be taken, which is under the direction gof those christian women, the Sisters of Charity, in Pittsburg. And so when, staggering, at last he lost step and fell utterly helpless and powerless, he was borne to the bosom of their sacred love. Soon after the young man entered the hospital Sister Sebastian, on whose head may the Lord lay his hand warm with blessings, knowing him to be alone, and, faithful to herself, to her Saviour, and to him, sat down by his side and ask ed him after his spiritual welfare he had been baptised, whether he had been educated in religious knowledge, whether he was prepared should things go adversely to meet his GOd-and she re- ceived answers very sweet and comforting in every respect. She took charge of him, and no care could have been more unre- hitting, more tender, patient, and long continuing than that was given to him. These Sisters, let me say in the fitness of thanksgiving to God, exempify to us more than all breeds, dogmas, or organizations what it is to be & christian. They have given up the joy of founding for themselves the household with embracing children around their knees, that all the store of motherly love might be given to the chil- dren that have no home and no household, and thus the have made themselves the ministering mothers of salvation to un- known multitudes of people. It draws my heart very near to them for Iseeso much of Christ in them that, though they would repel me, they shall not. They are mine because they are Christs, and I wait to them with all my soul the blessings of Gods love and my own profound thanks giving for that ministering care they have bestowed upon one of my flock"

Lancet The question has often bee

Lancet The question has often been asked, "Why do horses wear blinkers p We cannot answer the question. Itseems to us that they are useless, ugly, and, to some extent, injurious to the eyesight. The most beautiful feature of the horse is it's eye. If it were not "hid from our gaze" it would serve to denote sickness, pain, or pleasure. Many time would g driver spare the whip on seeing the ani- malls imploring eye. The argument in favor of blinkers is, we believe, that horses are afraid of passing carriages. This ob- lection, if valid is of little weight, as such timidity would soon be overcome. We trust, now the cruel bearing rein has been cast aside, that blinkers will also be aban- doned-a course which would, we feel as. sured, be attended with advantage to both man and horse
