AROUND THE WORLD.
A DAY IN YOKOHAMA.
Written for FISHERMAN & FARMER.

IT,
On the afternoon of September
I'd, 1883, we bid adieu to the Sand
wich Islands and shaped our course
for the land Of the setting sun. The
docks were throunged with friends to
witness our departure and to wave us
a last farewell. How deeply We
regretted 10 leave these is'ards and
as its coral bound coast and pictur
esque mountains faded from our view
we turned away with sigh thinking
of the many friends we had left
behird, perhaps never to NEE; again
in this world and should we never
meet them aga n the fire of fr end
SHIPS which glows upon the altar of
our hearts will always burn with the
same ruddy blaze as in .ys of yore
For several hours we were buSily
engaged in getting the ship snug for
long passage but as the setting sun
like huge ball of fire d sappeared
below the western horizon we CEASED
our labors for moment to gaze with
rapture upon the magnifcence and
grandeur of the heavens spread out
before our vision Far over the
western sea the day lay dying, fercely
and long had he waged the unequal
combat, but now he lay prone and
helpless upon his bleeding side trans
fixed by the spear of the pursueing
hours, from out of his jagged wound
gushes the rushing life food, redden-
ing the western heavens with its
unceasing flow, from out Of his throat
SCARED and marred by the recent
conflict comes the death moan sure
presage Of the arch enemy creeping
on insideously. He grasps, he groans,
his spirit fees away, all nature holds
a solemn silence as his dark sister
weeping drops over the. waters her
tears, the glistening dew, and scat
ters broldca from her hands the
stars which fallssunnoticed
upon this sombre coverlid over her.
broth ers face; such is the scene which
we have witnessed, no mortal tongue
can describe its impressive sublimity
and we have tried by this grotesque
to give faint concep-
ion of the grandeur Of the heavens
before our vision. 1t would perhaps (
prove uninterestinG to recount our
1aily routine while at sea. Unless

A DISPUTED QUESTION.

Taken from Virginian.
Tell me, is flirting wicked?
Think o 'er it once or twice,
For if 'twere very naughty,
1t could t be so nice.
Why, most young people like it,
Rut the parants all object;
They must have all forgotten
Their young days, expect.
Would life be worth the living,
Without some shady nook,
Some dark and hidden corner,
Or meaning in a look,
The sofas that are incest,
Hold two but can t hold three,
And hours pass as moments
On a bench beneath a tree.
A shy glance quickly given,
A blush, little stare,
a sweet word softly uttered,
A treasured lock of hair.
Some long talk in the twilight,
Some walk beneath the moon;
Oh isn't it pity,
Such pleasures pass 80 soon?
Beneath the swinging mist1etoe,
A sweet, but stolen kiss,
You'll surely not acknowledge
There's any harm in this?
There's no use talking o 'er it,
With frowns instead of mirth,
There always will be flirting
While girls are on the earth.

given up by all the physicians who attended
him, who said there was no help, he must
die. Finally DR.. Kennedy, proprietor of
Favorite Remedy" was consulted, who
decided that amputatiou would save the
patient. DR.. Kennedy performed the oper-
alton, and then gave Favorite Remedy" to
purifythe blood, and thus prevent the return
of the disease,-and Mr.. Ellsworth remains
to this day, in the bloom of health.

The Globe is the title of q morning
paper which has just made its appear
anee IN Chicago. 1t is a handsome,
six column, eight-page sheet, and is
newsy and bright. Its editors and
owners are largely from the staff of the
Chicago Times during the days of the
lameRted Storey. Andre Matteson, the
editor-in-chief, was Storey's political
leader writer; its managing editor,
Charles Z. bennett, was managing
editor of the Times; Franc B. Wilkie,
whose writings were among the best in
the old Times, is with the Globe, and the
energetic business manager of the Times

THE hUMBUG JURY.
.pect.

A brief telegram in this issue tells
that the jury disagreed IN The Chicago
ease Of the Rev. Brushingham. charged
with the paternity of the child of one of
his parishioners, simple-minded girl
seventeen years of age. If jRries were
not so peculiar there would be great
surprise at the inability of the panel to
agree in this case; but the world
has ceased to be surprised at the
action of petit iuries. The prosecution
made out & remarkably strong case
against the preacher. the girl telling
the story of her seduction in a plain,
straightforward manner, and her testi-
mony being corroborated, circumstan-
TALLY and otherwise by others. Ac-
cording to her story, Brushingham, who
is the dashing pastor of a fashion,
able church, induced the girl.
Eva Parker, TO leave the church
to which she belonged and unite
with his; he then manifested great in
tsrest in her, gave her Sunday school
class, and had her call frequently at
his study in the church. Having &C
comp!ished his purpose, the iaison was
continued for months, when the CIR!
discovered that she was about to be-
come mother. Then he proposed to
send her in the country until the child
q hn Of hpf
her sisters, to whom in her distress she
had told the story of her ruin,
would not permit her to go; he gave the
girl little money, but when she re-
fused to leave or to sign paper ex-
onerating him, he cast her off, and
boldly defied her. She being poor and
without influential friends, and be the
popular pastor of a fashionable church,
the best thing for him to do was to
put on bold front, trusting
to his responsibility to save him.
No one can read the testimony as pub
lished in the Chicago papers without
being impressed with the truthfulness
OF the injured girls sad story; but it
seems that some of the jurors refused to
believe her.
One of these days the people will be-
come so thoroughly disguised with the
jury affair, that they will abolish the
humbug system which long since out
lived its usefulness. Nobody expects a
jury will be just except by mistake, and
who has good cause would
not sooner trust his case to the decision
of an intelligent judge than to the
twelve men who sit in the jury box.

pGresham's Opinion on Wabash.

CHICAGO, March l4-After the formal
statement Of the case, Judge Gresham
delivered the following opinion in the
Wabash case this morning: although
the property Of the Wabash company is
In custody ofthe court, 1t is operated by
q receiver as common carrier. His
rights and liberties are those of
carrier. He is bound to az
ford to all railway companies
whose lines connect with his equal
facilities for exchange Of traffic. 1t is
his duty to receive from and deliver to
connecting roads both loaded and empty
cars. He cannot discriminate against
one road by maintaining q policy Of . n
intercourse. More need not DO saIu on
this question, "a the receiver
has wisely rescinded his in.
structions, which disseminated against
the petitioner who has no pur-
pose or desire to deny TO the petitioner
any of It's local rights, although the
petitioner has accomplished his chief
purpose In invoking the aid Of the cour
IL 10 urged by his council that person I.
belonging to the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive engineers and especially Arthur
who Is chief officer of that organization,
udE WIN thO lCSCifCl
subordinstes In the management OF the
Wabash property, and that they should
be punished for their illegal and CONT
maoious conduct. The receiver and
his council make no such COM
plant. On the contrary, the receiver
declares that there has been no inter-
ence with him while the affidavits sub
mitted 10 support Of the petitions show
that Mr.. Arthur sent telegraph
messages to the engineers of the
Union Pacific railway, directing
them to haul no cars of petitioner
it does not fairly appear from evidence
that engineers in service OF receiver
ever received such order by telegraph,
or otherwise. For the present it is suf
ficient to say that the court will protect
the property of Wabash In ito custody.
Employees Of the receiver can not be
obliged to remain tn his service against
their wish, but neither they or
others, will be permitted to interfere
with DISTURBING receiver or his sub
ordinates in possession and operation Of
property 10 his custody. The lawless in
reference with the receiver and HIS
employees in the discharge OF
their duties will not be tolerated.
Ii is proper to stste, however,
In justice to the Wabash engineers, that
they do not desire 20 maintain en- atti-
tude Of defiance to law and are now will
ing to aid the receiver In the lawful and
successful administration OF his trust.

The scale in use in an h Thermometer is
more or less arbitrary. 1t IA ,"ecessary to fix
two definite temperatures, AMI hsSign their
positions on scale. Water, being zone of
the most common bodies in nature, is usaelly
employed, and freeing and boiling points
are taken as definite points, especially as the
temperature of freezing water or of melting
ice is almost absolutely fixed-presSure alter
ing it only very slightly. The thermometer
generally used in the United States and
Great Britain is of the Fahrenheit scale,
Which places the freezing point too great by
% dogs. In Germany the scale used is Rau-
mer's, which places the freezing point at
zero, as does also the French measurement,
which is known as the centigrade scale and
is used almost exclusively by scientific men
of all nations. 1t is supposed that Fahren-
heit fixed his zero ut the point of greatest
cold That he had observed.
