A TRIBUTE.
SAN JOSE, Cal, May 10, 1890.

SAN JOSE, CAL, May 10, 1890.
DEAR JouRSAL:-The sad news of
the death of Agnes Edsall Rutherford
has reached US, and many eyes among
the San Jose friends grew moist at the
thought-and over our home it has
cast a gloom, for to us she was as one
of our own, and we want to add our
tribute of love and respect for her and
sympathy for those who mourn for
her.
How little we who stood by to see
her married, and went to the train the
morning of her departure for her
Oregon home, thought that it was a
final good bye. Truly, as has been
said, "those who knew her best loved
her best, " for hers was lovely life
in the home where we knew her, and
| when she went out from that home to
| enter one of her own, we well knew
what vacancy was left, and of the
utter loneliness of the mother and
sister, but the happiness of her mar
ried life made up in part for their
loss. Both of these homes are now
under the shadow of the great sorrow.
Ii this life were all how desolate
they would be, but Faith whispers OF
one where death cannot enter. Blessed
Faith.
One of the sad features of this sor.
row is, that the day on which her
mother started in response to the tele.
gram had been set for her going home,
and only on the Saturday before had
she given it up, for she had 80 much
wanted to Ego home to Mother and
Maggie"
How plainly we could see the sac
picture, while reading the letter tell
ing us how she lay with the dispatch
which told of her mothers coming
clasped close in her hands and tn,
dear names of mother and sister wer,
on her lips constantly until the last
while the train that was bringing thi
I loved one was moving rapidly over tn,
long weary miles, but all too late, 70
/ ere her arrival Agnes had entered TIN
| ''Silent Land" and the lonely husban,
and mother could only stand togethe
} by the grave of their dear one.
} Willing to die" yes. but her hom
, was very dear to her, and her mother
! heart cried l0ngingly, "Oh, my boy.
Death comes into our homes so sud
denly, and almost before we know
some dear one has gone. What lesson
come to us, often too late, of how W
should love and cherish while we hay
them with us.

CURIos1r1Es OF PUNISHMENT.
Animals and Birds Formally Tried and
Condemned for Criminal Offenses.

SOnQSLuQ6o IOr Ou6QS6S.
From, Al the Year Round.
In the middle ages the lower animals we're
frequently tried. convicted, and punished
for various offenses. Mr. Barring Gould
has collected some curious cases of this kind.
In 1866 pig was burnt at Fontenay-aux-
Roses, near Paris, for having eaten a child
In 1856 a judge at Falaise condemned a SOW
TO be mutilated and hanged for a simll IT
offe se Three years later horse was
solem ly tried before the magistrate and
condemned to death for having killed man.
During the fourteenth century oxen and
cows might be legally killed whenever taken
in the act Of marauding, aud asses, for
first otfense, had one ear croppei, for a sec
ond otfense the other year, and if after
this, they we're asses enough 10 commit a
third offense, their lives became forfeit to
the crown. "Criminaln animals frequently
expatlated their offenses like other male
factors, on the gallows. but subsequently,
they we're summarily killed without trial.
and their owners mulcted III heavy dam
ages.
In the Fifteenth century it was popularity
believed that cocks were intimately asso-
ciated with witches; aad they were some
times credited with the power OF laying
accursed eggs. from which spraug winged
serpents. In 1874, at Bale, a cock was pub

dreadful eggs. He was tr ed, sem enced to
death. and, together with his egg, was
burned by the executioner in the market
place amid great concourse of people
In 1894, during the witch prosecutions in
New England, a dog exhibited such strA 1ge
symptoms of affection that he was believed
to have been ridden by a warlcck, and he
was accordingly hanged Snails, flies. mice,
ants, caterpillars, and other obnoxious
creatures have been SINH arly proceeded
against and condemned to various punish

stranger still, inauimats objects have SUI

In 1855, when the Protestant chanel at

the bell thereof was publicly whipped for
having assisted heretics with its tongue.
After being whipped it was catechised.

hung up in a Roman Catholic place of

have been perpetrated in our own country:
for it must be remembered that only in the
present reign was the law repealed which
made a cart-wheel, a tree, or beast which
had killed man forfeit to the state for the
benefit of the poor
1t has been said that punishment is not
likely to be efficacious unless it swiftly fol-
lows the offense. This was improved On bv
