A Mothers Appeal to tho Kindness Of q
New York Lawyer.
IN Y. Sun.l
The late William f. Knitting was very
charitably disposed. al was in Mr.. Kintz-
ing's employ as n clerk for many years."
said Lawyer Jacob Berlinger yesterday.
"He had big, warm heart but a very
abrupt, sometimes harsh, threatening man
ner. One day motherly old woman came
into the office. Her boy was in trouble,'
she said, and she wanted Mr.. Knitting 10
defend him. Mr.. Knitting was busy, and
told me TO listen to her story, and see what
defense could be made. l found that there
was not nothing to defend. The son, ac-
cording to her story, had been caught in
the act. Besides, she had no money, she
said, and didn't suppose that Mr.. Kintz-
ing cared about taking hopeless case with
out a retainer. She grew urgent, and said
she would raise money somehow.
"'How can you raise itp asked.
"Well,' she said, sooner than let my
boy &c. to State Prison III pawn my feather
bed.'
"Mr. Knitting heard this. He rushed out
Of his private room and brought his fist
down on my desk, and In most threaten
ing manner, inquired: what did you say,
madam
"'That I'd pawn the feather bed, sir, to
pay you,' she faltered.
"Let me catch you pawning that bed,
ma'am,' roared Mr.. Knitting. Just let mo
catch you. I'll ax you II you do ma'am.
Who told You to.do anything of the kind!
I'll take your boys case, ma'am. won't
charge you a cent either. But just let mo
catch you pawning that bedp
"The women appeared to be thoroughly
frightened. She sat still, and Mr.. Knitting
rushed out OF the Office. He had case on
in court. A minute or two afterward was
called out, too. When l came back tho
alleged afflicted mother was gone-so was
the costly mantel clock. Everything was
blue for minute or two when Mr.. Kint-
ging returned, and then he laughed at tho
matter as though II was good joke, and
was kind TO the next poor person that camo
along"

nation was issued at Washington copy
thereof came by telegraph TO tho Boston

Of the journal was engaged In preparing
the dispatch for transmission 10 the COM

gated by the President, and was shown tho
dispatch sheets on which II was written.
He begged tho loan Of them for quarter
OF an hour, but this was refused as being
against all rule. The Judge then seized
them and ran with all speed from the edi-
torial room followed by the night editor In
pursuit, but was not caught. He reached
the platform OF the fremont Temple, In
terrupted the speaking, and read the
proclamation, when scene Of excitement

course increases the length of the day, and
the retardation will go on till the earths daily
revolution will be as long as the moons, four
weeks instead of twenty-four hours. Each
day will be two weeks long, and each night the
same. For two weeks together the hemi-
sphere turned TO the sun will be subjected to
an unmitigated and uninterrupted blaze of
solar heat, which no life, animal or vegetable,
can endure long. Then will come two weeks
of equally unbroken and unmodifed night, as
cold as the poles in winter and as deadly to all
present forms of existence. The heat will
burn off the whole face of the earth to the
rocks, and fuse the rocks-so says the theory
and the earth will then look as the moon does
This is another way of accounting for the des-
olation seen in the moon, and explained by
Prof Proctor as the effect of the absorption of
air and water into the body of planet cooled
off completely, so that no heat remains to ex-
pei either. Among so many ways of killing
off our comfortable old planet we may doubt
little if it is going to be killed at all, and feel

SCARLET FEVER.

DR.. Austin Flint, ST., made the following
remarks regarding the vitality of the scarlet
fever contagion:
''In 1862 case occurred in New York
boarding-house. AS soon as the child was
able to be moved il was taken away, and the
rooms were thoroughly cleansed. In three
days afterward, another family moved into
the same apartments, and in two days child
belonging to the latter was taken with the
disease.
''diss G., the daughter of deceased New
York physician, entered the protestant sister
hood of ST. Barnabas. She was called upon
to nurse child suffering from scarlet fever,
and after she had finished her attendance on
the child, she hung up her clothing to air
several weeks She then gave away the waist
Of the dress she had worn, and put the skirt
away in trunk. 1t was in February, 1870,
that she nursed the scarlet fever patient be-
ing in attendance for ten days. In January,
1871, she wore the skirt for the first time, and
one week afterwards was herself attacked
with acute ditfused nephritis and pulmonary
edema, which proved fatal
At the same meeting, DR.. j. G. Janeway
related the case of physician in New Mexico,
who, after having attended scarlet fever
patient, had occasion to go and see a patient
in town twenty miles distant, in which, as
he subsequently took special pains to inquire,
there was no scarlet fever; yet, one week after
his visit the disease appeared in the family
which he had gone to see
There is no doubt among medical men as to
the absolute oontagiousness of scarlet fever,
but it Is so capricious in the manifestation of
this quality that large numbers doubt it.
Many who are exposed escape. ALI the chill
dren of family may have it, but it is quite
as common for only one child in Large family
to be taken when all are equally exposed. 1t

BAD TEMPBRs AND THEIR CURE.

A curious story recently came from Paris, to
Lyons seriously processes to have discovered
remedies for the human passions, by the
proper employment of which such moral dis
eases as envy, hatred, malice, jealousy, anger,
obstinacy, avarice, etc, may be thoroughly
eradcated. We have no means of verifying
the story, or of proving or disproving that
nux vomica is an antidote for jealousy, sui
phur for drunkenness, salicia for obstinacy,
arsenicum album for malice, and belladonna
for imbecility. But, without too closely
scrutinizing the merits of the claims made by
the French disciple of Hahnemann, there is
enough in the theory to provoke investigation.
If the liver may be stimulated in its functions
by dose of calomel, if malaria may be minis
tered to by the employment of some potent

nine why may not the subtler ailments, the
diseases of the mind, if not of the soul or
spirit of man, be susceptible to the blandish-
ments Of homeopathic remedies, delicately ad-
justed and deftly applied If it be established
that belladonna in the thirtieth potency is a
specific for imbecility it is occasion for uni
versal rejoicing, and no one need fear evil re-
suits from the election to the presidency of a
man calling for a six-and-a-quarter hat. If
calcarea carbonica will eradicate miserliness,
sealskin sacques will become as common as
fine combs. Something might be discovered

MARGARET FILLER.
happens.

One of the articles of faith to which every
can be recognized by her sisters of the literary
guild as truly cultured, is that Margaret Fuller
was one of the greatest intellectual lights Of
the century, genius who paved the way for
less gifted women to follow. To express any
disrespect for this priestess of literature, or a
doubt that she was as morally and mentally
great as commonly represented, is to be re-
garded by her worshipers one not capable
of appreciating lofty talents. Thomas Went
worth Higginson, whose recent biography of
Miss Fuller occasioned considerable comment
by being classed in the American Men of
Letters" series, was fully impressed with the
prevailing feminine idea of her greatness, and
lauded her to the satisfaction Of her most
devoted admirers. Mr.. Higginson had but a
slight personal acquaintance with the subject
of his book, having been much younger than
She and, therefore, must have obtained his
| impressions from others to a great extent. As
the editor of the Woman's Journal, he has
associated much with literary women-more
probably than will be the case again, since his
apology for Cleveland's immoralities-and was
perhaps influenced as much by their ideas as
by his own recollections of thirty years ago
To prove that, at any rate, the present opinion
of her abilities was not universal, it may be
interesting to note the views Of one of her
contemporaries. In Julian Hawthorne's biog-
raphy of his father, lately published, is an
extract from the great novelist's diary, in
which he pays his respects to Margaret in any
thing but a complimentary manner Never
especially severe, as this page from his
writings shows, in his criticism of her
conduct and her work while she was in Italy.
She had, he says, ga strong, coarse nature,
which she mad done her utmost to refine, with
infinite pains" She was great humbug, of
course, with much talent and moral reality, or
she could not have been so great humbug.
But she had stuck herself full of borrowed
qualities, which she chose to provide herself
with, but which had no root in her. Her mar
riage with Ossoli, whom he saw in Rome, and
describes as ignorant, destitute of manners,
and, in fact half idiotic, he could only un-
derstand on the theory that she had expert
enced total collapse morally and intellectu-
ally, and tragic as the catastrophe was,
providence was, after all, kind in putting
her and her clownish husband on board that
fated ship" He adds: ''She took credit to her
self for having been her own redeemer, if not
her own creator, and indeed she was far more
work of art than any of Mozier's statues.
She proved herself a woman after ALL and fell
as the weakest of her sisters might" This
criticism on Miss Fuller from one so well
qualified to judge, will be a shock to those who
regard her as the saviour of her sex, in a liter
ary sense, but will please many who have
failed to find in her work any evidences of
genius, and have secretly believed that she
was as Hawthorne says, humbug.
