Quite a Lot Of Differences.

We of America and Europe shake each
others hand. A Chinaman SHAKES hands
with himself. We uncover the head as
a mark of respect; the Chinese keep
their heads covered, but take off their
shoes for politeness. We shave the faces
they shave the head and eyebrows. The
Chinamau's waistcoat is outside his coat,
and his drawers are outside his trousers.
We blacken shoes, he whitens them. We
have soup as a first course and dessert at
last; the Chinese have dessert at first
and soup at last. We want our wines
ice cold; they drink theirs scalding hot.
We bury in the earth; they on its sur
face. With us black clothes is a badge
of mourning; with them white garments
indicate the loss of friends. In that land
of opposites it is the old men who fly
kites, walk on stills and play at shuttle
cock, and, to keep up their odd way of
doing things, they play the game with
their feet instead of their hands. In
China women do mems work, and men
are the milliners, dressmakers and wash
erwomen. With us the righG hand is the
place of honor; with them it is the left
hand. In dating letters we place the
year last they write the year first. They
always speak of the mariners compass as
pointing to the south. We pay our
physician when we are sick: they pay
when they are well, but as soon as they
get sick the pay stops. Here men kill
their enemies; a Chinaman gets revenge
by killing himself. We use soft pill
low; they a block of wood. They launch
ships sideways, ring bells from the out
side, and actually turn their screws in
the opposite direction from ours.--Nes

MRS. ROBINSON TO BE HANGED.
Tho COurt Over ulrs a Motion for -
New Trial.


The motion for a new trial in the case Of
Mrs. Sarah Jane Robinson, who was recently
convicted at East Cambridge of the murder
of Prince Arthur Freeman, wa' heard in the
Middlesex supreme judicial court at East
Cambridge on Thursday The court room
was filled with people, m my OF whom were
ladies. At about :45 o'clock Mrs, Robinson
was brought into court. She sat in a rock
ing chair at one end OF the prisoners cage,
and WAS attired wholly in black. By her
side sat Mrs. S. D. Powers of the Bethany
Mission, Haymarket square, Boston. Be-
hind his mother, among the spectators, sat
Charles H. Robinson. Then Justice Field
said that the evidence was circumSt tantial in
many details, and that the court found no
legal reason to believe that the jury misun-
derstood the evi lence, or were unable to
properly decide whether the prisoner was
guilty. He said it was peculiar case, and
they had carefully considered the mot on
for new trial. They honestly and intel
ligently bel eyed that the motion should be
overruled, and such was III, ir decision.
Then Atty-Gen. Wa, erm IN III lde motion
for sentence. Mrs Robinsons counsel said
that there was no objec iol to the court
taking is course, and Justice Field asked the
prisoner if she had anything to say why
sentence should not be pass upon her

speak, and she was assisted to her feet. She
said: | am innocent before God. Here

Field, after comforting with Justice Knowl-
ton, pronounced sentence of death by hang
ing upon the prisoner and the date for the
execution was fixed for Nov. Is, 1883.
AS the judge pronounced the sent nee,
Mrs Robinson fell back in the chair and
closed her eyes, as if about to faint. She
rallied in moment, however, and was taken
back to Jail. Her son, Charles, threw his
hands up over his head, and exclaimed;
"Ohl My God" Then bursting into tears,
he rushed up to Judge Field and asked if
there was no remedy. The judge shook his
head, and Charlie was led away by Mr..

The democratic national notification COM
mittee arrived at Columbus Ohio, on Thurs.
day. The committee was received in the
parlors of the Thurman residence Chairman
Collins briefly stated the object of the call,
when Charles d. Jacob, mayor of Louisville,
read the formal letter of notification. Ad
dressing Judge Thurman, he said:
'You embrace the highest tyre of Ameri
can citizenship, and no matter what lhe cri
sis might be- the government would be safe
in your hands"
In reply, Judge Thurman thanked TIE
committee for their courtesy. He was pro
foundly grateful for the nomination, because
it was unsought and unde ired by him; not
that he underestimated the distinction, but
he hal ceased to be ambitious for public
honors. The country is honestly governed,
ne said, and the interests of the country re-
quire Cleveland's e election, and the hope
that he might contribute to tHis result had
its influence in inducing him to accept.
Judge Thurman expressed himself es Icing
in favor of reducing taxation so that sur
plus would not accumulate in the treasury,
which he believed to be a great danger to
the institutions of tie country. Judge Thur
man was frequently applauded. An in

A POacher's Remarkable Device.

Along the coast of France, where the
land line is formed by long stretches of
sand banks lying between the high cliff
uplands, there used to be found innu-
merable rabbits, who made their burrows
in the dry sand above high-water mark.
They ran one hole into another, so that
the labyrinth of underground passages
reluently extended for several hundred
feet, rendering it next to impossible to
dislodge the inmates in the usual manner
by slipping ferret into one of the holes.
For, if this were done, the ferret would
simply drive the rabbits from one corner
of the network to another, where they
would hide as soon as they evaded him.
The continental poacher, ever prolific in
devices, knowing that the instinct of the
crab will lead him always to descend in
search of water, elaborated system Of
placing Il bolt. net at the mouth of every
hole he could locate, no matter how
many there might be. Then taking a
dozen or so good-sized crabs, he fastened
about half an inch of composite wax
candle to the centre of each shell, fixing
them firmly enough for his purpose by
slightly melting the wax at the bottom,
and then pressing it into the she'll.
These pieces of wax candles he obtained
from the innkeepers and lodging house
keepers in the ad AGENT coast town. He
then lighted the candles and tu ned one
crab in each of the main runs. The crab,
just taken from damp place, immedi-
ately sought the lowest ground in the
burrow, carrying his light with him,
where light had never penetrated be-
fore. The rabbits, frightened almost to
death, rushed madly through the runs to
the mouths of the holes, sprang out into
the bolt-nets, and hopelessly tangling
themselves in the meshes, lay painting
until the poacher came and put them out
of their misery. More than one hum
dred rabbits have been taken from a sim
gle burrow at one haul, and the practice
proved so destructive to the rabbits that
the French Government took the matter
in hand, and subjected every offender to
a heavy fine and imprisonment. The
number of gendarmes available, however,
proved totally inadequate to the extent
of territory to be covered, and, as a
matter of fact, there are but few rabbits
now to be found on the sand hills; so
few that it no longer pays the poacher
for the trouble of setting his nets.-Ar-
g0nGut.

GOOD FRUIT PROSPECTS.
Indications of Larg" Crops of Apples
and Peaches.

The department of agricuture's June re
ports on fruit pro poets this year say that
1858, being numerically an even year, should
be a favorable year for apples and the first
returns of the season show generally good
prospect in every important fruit section,
especially in the New England and middle
states The outlook is less favorable in Vir-
mia, the Carolinas and Georgia than in any
other part of the country. The condition Of
the peach crop is generally reported lower
than that of apples, but in the most import
ant peach states the reverse of this seems to
be true. In New Jersey the general average
OF conditions is good In Delaware and
Nary the crop is reported as the most
promising for a number of years
