In small communities where Justices
OF tho Peace have to depend on fees
sIone, the Office Is very poor one, so
much so, that but few seek the posi-
ton. hence it is no more than proper
that they should be paid 30 much per
folio for takin1 testimony in criminal
cases. It is an outrage to expect that
competent man should be set In a mag.
istrato's court for n pittance which a
day iaboror would laugh at, therefore il
is to be hoped tho present Legislature
will mako provision for payment tc Jus.
ticos Of tho Peace for taking testimony,
either by tho folio or asa monthly
stipend.

fatally, but no cholera that attacks on

not be standing on different sides of the

A story full of pathos of the death of a
brave man was made known to the Lon
don public the other week. He was a
fireman, and in searching for possible
sufferers in a burning factory his retreat
was cut off. His companions escaped
through small window, but he being
too bulky was prevented from following
them, and though at the outset he called
to his companions to let them know of
his plight he said never a word when he
saw that all hope of escape was lost, but
stood and burned to death with the for.
titude of hero. When his body was
found his legs were entirely consumed,
but in his charred hand he still held the
nozzle Of u fire hose. He had done his
duty to the last

A detective, who had been very sue
cessful in discovering and arresting Grim
inals under every guise, said, lately
II have but one rule to guide me, OBJ.
tain picture of the man and examine
his eye. Then / search for that eye.
Every other feature of his face, together
with his height, his size, his dress, he
can alter. But his eye he cannot change.
That tells the story"
A gentleman who has long made 9
study of amateur photography asserts
that its chief interest to him lies III the
unconscious revelation of character in a
photographed face. eff a man have any
noble or mean trait latent in his nature,
unknown to the world, it comes out in
bis photograph" l."
Hawthorne declared that dominant
family traits and likenesses were always
revealed in these sun-drawn pictures,
even though they might not be visible on
the real faces of the sitters.
These assertions, il correct, only illus
trate truth which is as old as mankind :;
that, as years go by, the character of q
man writes itself indelibly upon his face.
Not only the action, whether mean or
noble, but the secret thoughts which arc
never put into decds--the sensual imag-
nation, the cruel purpose, the lofty hope,
the kind feeling, all these record them
selves upon the features, or at some un-
expected moment peep out at the world
from behind the eye.
The sin which we welcomed as pleas
ant guest in youth may be hateful to us
in middle age, but we can never again
make it stranger to us. Some look or
mark in our faces betrays to keen OBJ
server that VIC were once familiar with it.
Among the superstitious legends of the
Scotch there arc many stories of an un-
clean, wicked little fairy, who obtains
entrance to house, and lives thereafter
in the cellars and oal-bins, taking a
mischicvous part in the family life. His
prosecutions became so intolerable to one
household, we are told, that they hired
new dwelling, and at great loss "fitted"
from their old house, going secretly by
night, to escape their tormcntor, But
when the cart with their moveables en-
tered the gate of the new home, the
shrill, hateful voice OF the wicked fairy
was heard from among them, crying,
Here we are"
The legend hints at a terrible truth.
How many men have rushed from one
occupation to another, from home to
home, from country to country, to escape
some vice or habit which had grown
oathsome to them! Alas, they could
not travel away from themselves. 1t is
in youth that we must shut the door if
we would keep that inner chamber un-
defled. - Youths Companion.

A question upon which opinion was
much divided at the international botanic
congress, in Paris, was whether the grains
of corn found in the Egyptian sarcophagi
had any seminal virtue left. 1t appears
that most of the so-called mummy corn,
remarkable for streaks of tar on the sur.
face and sold to travellers in Egypt at the
rate of about 81 per twenty-iv grains, is
gross imposture. A gentleman who re-
ceived few grains from NJ. Maspero
himself planted them in various soils and
positions. A good many sproutcd, some
even grew about two feet when they looked
like ordinary spring wheat, and then
rotted away, but none ever came to
maturity.

WISE WORDS.

The shortest way to do many things is
to do only one thing at once.
No one is satisfied with his fortune
nor dissatisfied with his own wit.
1t is wiser to prevent quarrel before.
hand than to revenge it afterward.
He who waits to do great good at
once will seldom do any good at all.
There will always be romance in the
world as long as there are young hearts
in it.
The qualities we possess never make
us SO ridiculous as those we pretend to
have.
Books, like proverbs, receive their
chief value from the stamp and esteem of
ages through which they have passed.
Discretion is more necessary to women
than eloquence, because they have less
trouble to speak we'll than to speak
little.
Only the refined and delicate pleasures
that spring from research and education
can build up barriers between different
ranks.
Every day is u leaf in life. When the
day dawns it is blank. There is in
scribed thereon our thoughts, words and
actions.
One of the most cfcctual ways of
pleasing and of making ones self loved is
to be cheerful. JOY softens more hearts
than tears.
Ninety-nine per cent, Of ambition to
try, and one per cent. of talent, is all
that is necessary to success in whatever
we undertake.
1t is very pleasant TO follow ones in
clinations, but, unfortunately, wa cannot
follow them all; they are like the teeth
sown by Cadmus, they spring up, get i'll
each others way and fight.
Whereas men have many reasons to
persuade, to use them all at once weak
eneth them. For it argucth ncediness
in every one of the reasons, as if one did
not trust to any of them, but fled from
one to another.

The experiments which have recently
been brought to conclusion abroad with
a smokeless powder, the latest of the
kind invented have disclosed one defect
which initiates strongly against its intro
duction. Immediately upon the dis,
charge of the shot, there is such an in.
tolerable smell produced by the combus-
ton of this new explosive that several Of
the officers and men Mt the firing point
have tainted. The powder creates hard.
ly any perceptiblC smoke, and imparts to
the shot higher velocity than any form
or compound. The statement that it is
noiseless is, however, erroneous. On the
contrary, the discharges arc louder than
hitherto with the old black powder.
The new smokeless powder has not yet
been made snnlicsble to artillery.

A FR!GiITFUL DEATH.
Accident to an Inclined Plane Car at
Cincinnati.

A most appalling accident occurred on one
Of the inclined plane railways of Cincinnati
o., on the 18th, Eight passengers had en-
tered the car at the foot Of the plane, and
number were on the other car at the top.
The passage of the ascending car was all
right until it had reached the top, when the
engineer found that he could not stop the
engine. Ouly one result was possible The
car was arrested by the strong bumper
which stops its progress, and as the engine
continued its force was expended
on the two cables, and they snapped
like thread under its enormous power Then
the car, with its eight inmates locked with
in, began the descent of that frightful slope.
The crash at the foot Of the plane was fright
ful. The iron gate that formed the lower
end of the track on which the car rested,
was thrown 60 feet down the street. The
top of tie car was lying almost as far away
in the gutter The track itself and the floor
and seats of the car formed shapelcss
wreck, mingled with the bleeding and
mangled bodies of the eight passengers of
whom five were killed and the remainder
seriously wounded by the shock.
