Soon the lad once hush and hale,

Dan TO grow dIstruRht and pale.
And to roam

Reading sky and mead and brook
Like tome.
Then his verses wRxei Apaco.

Thrilled with love OF Whist he know

But alas the love OF praise
In tho bard began to blAko.

And his friends said, 'TwOre a crime

eventualities. During period of fifty
seven years the Surete has had twelve
chiefs, of whom the best known-not
including Vidocq-was Claude, whose
memoirs obtained worldwide repu-
tation. In later times M. Mace, another
head of the detective department, has
published his experience in the famous
torce, and has therein ventilated various
theories about its failings and short
comings. Notwithstanding such sharp
criticism, however, the French Surete
maintains high character for efficiency,
and victories have been by no means
inconsde1able during recent years.

Agentleman from o neighboring town,
who passed through MiHedg eville. Ga,
the other day, says the Chronicle, of
that place, told our correspondent lit
tie scene in the ordinary's court of his
native county few days ago that DEM
onstrates the truth OF the assertion
that great matters are O; ten kindled
from small fires The case in question
was against young negro charged with
lunacy, and twelve prominent gentle
men were sworn to investigate into his
mental condition and give a verdict in
accordance with the facts deduced.
The foreman OF the jury, though a
prominent gentleman, had failed to
gain enviable reputation a paymaster,
and there Is where the pinch came. In
the cross-examination, usually attend
ant on such trials, the foreman pro-
pounded few questions to the sim pie
minded negro that were readily an
swered.
"Do you know me?" asked the peer.
Certainly do" was the quick re
tort.
''Then, what is my name and where
did you know me p"
The negro gazed at him with an air of
confidence and then replied: "Your
name is John Blank. I worked for you
all of year before last, and / swar' fore
God you has nebber paid me cent for
it. OF course. knows you" In the
laughter and confusion that followed, a
verdict of mot crazy" was made, but
Mr.. Blank vows that he will never serve
on another jury, especially to test the
mental strength of a negro, which he
likens unto gauging the kicking capac-
ity of mule

Singular Salmon.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
A curious fact in natural history has
just come to light in Tasmania. With
the view Of introducing English salmon
to the Tasmanian waters Sir Thomas
Brady took out some time ago a guam
tity of ova taken from true salmo salar
and artifcialiy fertilized. The ova was
kept distinct and everything done to
prevent hybridizing. On an examina-
ton of the young salmon recently much
surprise was occasioned at finding such
marked differences existing, not only in
size but in the characteristics of the
young fish. Nearly half the salmon,
which had never left the pond, had
spots on the dorsal fin and tinge of
yellow or orange on the adipose fin.
marks which the salmon caught in Tas-
mania waters usually bear, but which
are generally considered as distinguish
ing them from the true salmon. Many
of them, too, were "bull-headed" in
appearance, character istic not usually
found in pure salmo salar. Specimens
of the young fish, preserved in spirits,
are to be sent to this country for the
consideration and opinion of naturalists
here; but the theory formulated in
Tasmania is that there is something in
the Tasmania waters which develops
these peculiar characteristics, much in
the same way that certain soils are
known to influence tine growth CT GER
tain plants.

Judge Harlan's Little Joke.
From the Washington Post.

Judge Harlan is delivering very
interesting series of lectures on the
constitution and constitutional law be-
fore the Columbian Law School. Many
people avail themselves of the oppor-
tuity to hear the distinguished iurist,
and the lecture-room is crowded. The
Judge may be humorist in sly way,
teresting point was being discussed.
This matter said he, "will come up
before the supreme court next Febru-
ary. by which time Judge Brewer
will undoubtedly be on the bench and
the bench will be FULL"
The class howled and the Judge
blushed. Now it is a question whether
he WAS playing on Judge Brewers name
Intentionally or not.

At the dinner station where We

He entered the express Office, paid
