wounded.
1.-The Monitor was well handled, and
saved the Minnesota and the remainder
of the fleet at Fortress Monroe. But her
gunnery was poor. Not a single shot
struck US at the water-line, where the
ship was utterly unprotected, and
where one would have been fatal. Or
had the fire been concentrated on any
one spot the shield would have been
pierced; had larger charges been used
the result would have been the same.
Most of her shot struck US obliquely,
breaking the iron of both courses, but
not iniuring the wood backing. When
struck at right angles the backing
would be broken, but not penetrated.
We had no solid projectiles except a
few of large windage, to be used as hot
shot, and of course made no impression
on the turret But in all this it should
be borne in mind that both vessels
were on their trial-trips, both were ex-
perimental, and both receiving their

THE SONG OF A SNOWFALL
WISCONSIN.

I'm merry little snowfall.
And can knock you fat,
Or take right off your Uranium
Your stylish beaver hat.
Last night little urchin
Evolved me in the yard
And threw me in the water-pail.
TO freeze me round and hard.
AT early morn he grabbed me,
And sent me Swimming clear
Across the hi4hway, where took
The mflkman in the ear.
I'm sure that when hit him
l brought him little joy
Because, instead of kicking me,
He went and kicked the boy.
And then a man stepped on me,
And failed to crush me fat;
don't know what he did it for.
BIT, somehow, down he sat-
Right off he seized upon me-
His rage was wild and vain
And hurled me wildly through his own
Big parlor window-pane.
The thrifty housewife used me
TO chase vagrant hen;
She nearly broke her shoulder-blade-
Why can't they throw like mens
A younger brother found me,
And played with me awhile;
With soaking chilblains off his hands
His leisure he'll beguile.
He sent the dog to fetch me
From out light snow-wreath-
The dog is now a sufferer from
Neuralgia in the teeth.
But in my fair young lifetime
The joy, the most intense,
felt when Johnny made me knock
The tom-cat off the fence.
I'm melting smaller, smaller,
But peace in death is mine;
They II drop me down some fellows necl
To die along his spine.
Though merry little SNOWFALL
A SNOWFALL light and gay
think shall have some fun
Before melt away.

The New Disease Which Is Nowadays
Pleaded to Excuse Murder.

The New Disease Which Is Nowadays
| Pleaded to Excuse Murder.
The acquittal at ST. Petersburg of
Mile. Semenova, accused of being inn
plicated in the murder of the child
Sarah Becker, has been the cause of a
scene closely resembling that witnessed
at Paris when Nine. Clovis Hughes was
restored to her admiring friends. The
reason, however, for the acquittal of
the Russian lady differs greatly from
that which saved Nine. Hughes. The
evidence all through the trial was dead
against Mile. Semenova, and it would
have Jared badly with her but for the
declaration of an expert, NJ Balinskys
Russian mad-doctor, who, pointing
out to the jury the hysterical bearing
of the culprit, persuaded them that she
was suffering from ''psychopathy, I"
and, therefore, morally irresponsible.
For the benefit of those who are as yet
ignorant of the meaning of psychopa-
thy-a term which before long will be
naturalized in our courts we give Mr..
Balinsky's explanation OF the new mall
ady. THE psychopath, > he says, lis
type which has only recently come
under the notice of medical science. 1t
is an individual whose every moral
faculty appears to be Of the normal
equilibrium. He thinks logically, he
distinguishes good and evil, and he acts
according to reason. But of all moral
notions he is entirely devoid.
Besides his own person and his own in
terests, nothing is sacred to the
psychopath, etc, etc. The short and
long of it seems to be that if egotism is
fully developed in human being he be-
comes morally irresponsible "a very
convenient doctrine, to which, how
ever, mankind will have to add as
corollary, that whenever fully deyel
oped psychopath is discovered he shall
be Immediately hanged. Pail Mall ca
