A WARNING TO CRIMINALS WHO DE.
MAND NEW TRIALS,

New York Herald says: A curious
point in criminal law has just been
decided by the Supreme Court of Ne
braska. A man tried for murder in
the first degree was convicted of MUIR
der in the second degree and SEN
fenced to prison. Like most convict
ed criminals, he moved to set aside
the verdict on some alleged technical
error. lie carried his point and was
accorded new trial. On the second
trial he was found guilty of murder
in the first degree and sentenced to
be hanged. His counsel now object
ed that his conviction of murder in
the second degree on the first trial
was in effect an acquittal of the
charge of murder in the first degree,
and hence that he could not after
ward be convicted of the latter crime
without violating the constitutional
guaranty that no mans life shall
twice be put in jeopardy for the
same offence.
The Nebraska Court does not take
this view of the law. 1t remarks that
the first verdict was set aside on the
motion of the prisoner, and holds that
the effect of this VAS to leave his
status just the same as it was in the
beginning. That is, the first trial
and all its results were nullifed and
the prisoner was liable to be arraing-
ed for murder in the first degree ON
the second trial just as he had been
on the first. The practice OF moving
for new trials in criminal cases is a
growing evil in every State of the
Union. If such motions oftener re-
suited in sentences of increased Sc
verify, as in the Nebraska case, the
evil would receive a salutary check.

A FREAK OF VEGETATION.

In the mountains of Venezuela
grows a remarkable tree. tits founC
in rocky places, at heights of abou
half a mile. 1t is stupid looking
tree enough, at first sight. 1t is lofty
and slender, and has stiff leaves, that
grow loot or more in length. II
looks much of the time as if it were
dead. In those regions there is wet
and dry season and during man,
months at time not a shower washes
its leaves. 1t bears very small, in.
significant looking flowers.
What is it good for, this tall, slim
trunk, with the dull, dead-lookina
branches? tits the milk tree, the
famous ''palo de vaca," which Hum.
bolt describes. He first brought il
into notice. Ii is an evergreen. Its
sap is a delicious fluid resembling
the finest Jersey milk, only sweetel
and richer than even that. When
the negroes are thirsty they cut into
the side of the trunk as one would
bore into a maple for sugar water
and the milk gushes forth in great
stream. 1t is both food and drink
so rich is it. After little time il
grows thick and yellow, and a cream
rises to the top. 1t has fragrant
odor. When COW tree is tapped
the natives hasten from all quarters
with their bowls to catch the flow OF
milk. The fluid is white. Sunrise
is the best time to tap the tree, for
then the sap flows most abundantly.
The tree gets its morning milking
like COW.
Humboldt was much surprised at
discovering the COW tree and finding
that its milk was palatable and nutri-
tious. His knowledge of botany had
taught him that the most milky veg
etable fluids are bitter and burning
to the taste. Some of them are poi
sonous. But here was one milky sap
that put even his great learning at
fault.
Attempts have been made to cult
vate the cow tree and make it grow
in other localities than where it is
found naturally, but in vain. AS
soon as it is removed from its native
mountains it dies. The Venezuelan
government experimental with it
without success. But South Ameri-
can labor is proverbially shiftless.
Perhaps if some live Yankee would
try to acclimate the COW tree in our
southern States he might succeed fin
ally.

A HORRID FEAST.

The other morning, as the wife of
Jean Baptiste Remilly, farmer in
st. Vincent de Paul, village about
ten miles from Montreal, was feeding
her fowls, and while her child, aged
about two years, was playing around,
suddenly large bald eagle swooped
down and bore the little one off in
its talons. The child screamed and
extended its arms to the mother, who
was beside herself with mental agony,
but was powerless to renderassist-
ance. The screams of the child, how.
ever, attracted the neighbors, who

VOLCANO UNDER THE SEA.

From the New Orlerns Picayune.
1t has already been published that
the schooner Alice Montgomery,
which arrived at this port on Friday,
passed through an extensive tract of
floating fish, dead and dying, in the
Gulf of Mexico. The supposition
that these fishes were DESTROYED by
some sudden visitation of an epidem-
ic disease is scarcely reasonable.
Such disease might attach fishes of
some particular sort, which are ac-
customed to go in shoals, such as her
rings, Gods or shads, and which by
their gregarious habits, might be able
to communicate and spread very
fatal disorder among themselves /;
but when fishes of various species,
which do not associate, some living
near the surface and others in the
depth, are simultaneously affected,
the cause must be looked for else
where, and in this case it appears to
have been suddenly very potent in a
particular locality.
ola variety Of theories the most
| plausible appears to be that which at
tributes the destruction of the fishes
to the breaking out beneath the sea
of volcanic matter and poisonous gas
es destructive to the lives of marine
animals exposed to them. Subma-
rine volcanoes are by no means un-
known. The fact of their existence
has often been attested in disturban-
ces of the ocean bottom, cases of'the
sinking of coasts and islands into the
sea, or of their elevation out oft, be-
ing on record.

WILD DOES,

Two years ago several domestic
dogs strayed into the mountains on
the head of Wind river, Wyoming
Territory and became wild. They
have now increased to some twenty
in number and have developed a
fierce spirit. They have located in
an immense cliff, and from here thew
issue on their excursions, which are
very disastrous to the young stock of
the ranges, killing and devouring the
strongest and most active calves and
easily putting down a yearling. A
few days ago as one of the employees
of the large cattle ranches was haul
ing hay his route took him by the
"Cliff of the Dogs" AS he passed
the dens the savage inhabitants
swarmed out in full force and made
a most determined onslaught OH him
and the team. 1t took wild race of
three or four miles to shake them off.
On sizing up his injuries the ranch
man found himself pretty badly bit
ten about the face, and arms and
hands, while the horses had suffered
on the chest, throat add hams.

SOMEBODY sent some sheets of a
scrofulous French novel to the edi-

asked him what he thought of a peo-

no worse in matter than the stuff that
appears frequently in American

dial to be elaborated. And he adds

A CAREFUL BIRD.
From the Yonkers Statesman.

HIOlH inc OHherS statesman.
In front of a window where we
worked last summer was butternut
tree. A humming bird built her
nest on limb that grew near the
window, and we had an opportunity
to watch her closely, and we could
look right into the nest. One day
there was a very heavy shower.
When the first drops fell she came
and took in her bill one of two or
three large leaves growing close to
the nest, and laid this leaf over so
completely that it covered the nest /;
then she flew away. On looking at
the leaf We found hole in it, and in
the side of the nest was small stick
that the leaf was fastened to or hook
ed on. After the storm was over the
old bird came back and unlocked the
leaf, and the nest was perfectly dry.
