TARDY ATONEMENT.

An Innocent Man Imprisoned a Year for
WOmRn's Crime.
John GaSSaway, the Allegheny druggist,
who suffered imprisonment in the Ohio
penitentiary for year for crime he did
not commit. has been indicated. 1t was in
1874 that he was arrested and convicted Of
stealing a watch from the residence Of
William Conger in Cleveland, says the
PittSburg Dispatch. Now comes forward
the real culprt. 1t is q woman, and she
eOnEesses that she stole the watch, and that
as she is dying she wants to make what
restitution is in her power. Mr.. Gassaway
was sent to the penitentiary for two years.
but was released after having served half OF
the sentence.
For number Of years he has kept
drugstore at the corner Of North avenue
and Federal street, in Allegheny. Several
lays ago he received letter from James
Surratt, the Postmaster at Steubenville,
ONO, stating that the latter had a confess
sion from woman who claimed that she
was the person WHO had stolen the watch
from the CongeT residence Mr.. Gassaway
went 10 SteubeuyilIe on Tuesday and re-
turned last night. He said that in the let
ter the woman, who gave her name as Mrs.
Margaret Lane, stated that she knew that
she was going to die and wanted 10 do
simple act OF justice.
She then IN the letter went on to tell that
in 1874 she was bOok-canYasser in Cleve-
land; that she went to house, and finding
the door open went in, and seeing a gold
watch on the dresser seized it and imme-
dlately left. When she saw the account of
the arrest Of a young man for the theft her
conscience reprOached her, for she had seen
him in the yard at the time she entered the
house. She says sire went back to restore
The watch but was rebuffed by the servant
girl. Mrs. Lane says she hid the watch n
the chimney of her room, aud during an ill
ness which followed, when fires had been
lighted. it must have been burned. Mr.
Gassaway SAYS he has 10 wish to prosecute
the woman and viii not do so.

THE THAMES TUNNEL.
Its Construction Was Suggested by tn
Labors of an Insect.

Its Construction Was Suggested by the
Labors of an Insect.
1t has been said that the operations Of the
spider suggested the art of spinning and
weaving to man. That may be doubtful.
but 1t is quite certain that to a hint from an
insect was due the invention of machine
instrumental in accomplishing one of the
most stupendOus works of modern times
the excavation Of the Thames tunnel.
Mark ISambard Brunei, the great engi-
gneer, was standing one day about three
quarters of century ago in a ship-yard
watching the movements Of an animal
known as the teredO nayales-in English
the naval wood Yorm-When brilliant
thought suddenly occurred to him. says the
New York Weekly. He saw that this
creature bored its way into the piece Of
wood upon which it was operating by
means of a very extraordinary mechanic Il
apparatus. Looking at the animal atten-
lively through Il microscope he found that
it was covered in front with pair of valyu-
lar shells; that, with its foot as purchase,
it communicated rotary motion and for
ward impulse 10 the valves, which, acting
upon the wood like gimlet penetrated its
substance, and that, as the particles of
wood were l0osened, they passed through
the body of the bOrer TO its mouth, where
they were expelled
Here" said Brunei TO himself, sis the sort
of thing want Can | reproduce it in an aTti-
fetal form" He forthwith set to work,
and the final result of his labOrS, after
many failures, was the famous boring
shield, with which the Thames Tunnel was
eXcayated.
This story was told by Brunei himself, and
there is no reason to doubt its truth. The
keen observer can draw useful lessons from
the humbleSt OF the works OF God.

A SACRED TRIO.

Some Curious Legends Concerning the
Palm, Oak and Ash Trees.
The palm, the oak, aud the ash are, ac-
cording to a timely and interesting article
in a recent number of the Deutche Runds-
chau, the three trees which, since time im-
memorial, were held to be sacred. The first
among them which figures on the Oldest
monuments and pictures of the Egyptians
and Assyriaas is the date palm hometan.
Tradition Of later period says that when
Adam left Paradise he was allowed to take
with him three things-a myrtle. because it
was the most lovely and most scented flower
on the earth; wheat ear, because it had
the most nourishment; and date, because
it was the most glorious fruit of the earth.
The date from Paradise was in some mar
velOuS way brought to the Dejaz. From it
have come all the date-palmS in the world,
and Allah destined it to be the food of all
true believers, who shall conquer every
country where the date-palm grows.
The oak was always considered holy
tree by our own ancestors and, above all,
by the nations of tine north of Europe. When
Wnifred Of DevOnShire (6S0-7j4 A. d. went
forth ON his wanderings through Germany
to preach the Gospel, one of his first actions
was to cut down the giant oak in SaX0nY.
which was dedicated to Thor, and worShped
he had nearly felled the oak, and while
the people were curSing and threatening the
saint a supernatural storm swept over IT.,
seized the summit, broke every branch and
dashed il quasi superni mOtus sOlaris, with
a tremendous crash to the ground. The
heathens acknowledged the marvel and
many Of them were converted there aud
then. But the saint built a chapel of the
wood OF this very oak and dedicated it to St.
Peter.
The Celts, and Germans, and Scandinavia
ans, again, worshiped the mountain ash,
and it is especially IN the religious myths of
the latter that the ''Askr Yggdrasi" plays a
prominent part. To them it was the hottest
among trees, the world tree" which, eter-
nally young and dewy represented heaven,
earth and hell. According to the Edda the
ash yggdrasil was an evergreen tree. A
specimen Of it, says Adam of Bremen, grew
at Upsala, in front of the great temple, and
another in DithmarSchen, carefully guarded
by railing, for it was in mythical way
connected with the fate OF the country.
When Ditbmarschen lost its liberty the tree
Withered, but a maggie, one Of the best
pTOphesying birds of the north, came and
built its nest on ne wltbered tree and
Matched five little ones. all perfectly white,
as sign that at some future time the coun-
try would regain It's former liberty.

BAROONS CAN TALK.
But They Wont Because They Fear The

But They Wont Because They Fear They
viii Be Put to Work.
The Hottentots say that balloons can talk.
only they will not for fear they should be
made to work, and there certainly is but lit
tie work to be got out of these cunning
hands. Nevertheless we read Of some
balloons who have been taught to do useful
work. There was an obituary notice year
or more ago in all the Cape papers of one of
these trained balloons, well known in the
colony, who used to act as signalman on the
railway, IN place Of his master, who was
lame.
TIE story was doubted by the English
papers. which copied it; but we have met
with many people who had seen the animal
at his work. Mrs. Carey Hobson, too, in
one of her pleasant little South African
Stories, tells of baboon which had come
under her notice, which had been taught to
ride after Ddtch Boer as groom, and hold
the horse by sitting on the bride when his
master went into house; and we have
seen troupe of monkeys Of various kinds
taught TO do great many curious tricks. but
in these again they have been rivaled by
dogs.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

And my eyes are bandaged tight,
BY the merry laugh that slips
From her rOsy-tiuted lips.
