A long presentmcnt concerning the failure OF
Justice in the Hennessy case and the lynchlngs
which ensued was made by the Grand Jury IN
New-Orleans yesterday. The practical outcome
of their investigation, which has occupied sN
weeks is the Indictment Of six men, including
the much -talked-of Detective OMalley, for tam
pering with the juiymen. and their refusal 10
inGict any one for their connection with the
mob which broke into the prison and murdered
the Italians. 1t is TO be assumed, we suppose,
that the Grand Jury's presentment on this head
reflects popular sentiment in New-Orleans. At
al! events they find that the mob was spon-

entire city and parish were involved, guilt can
not be at,ached TO any individuals

contra american Earthaurlsss.

A peculiar thing about living in Cen.
trail America is the ease with which you
lecome accustomed to the earthquakes.
They do not come without giving due
notice. You are sitting on piazza of a
hot afternoon chatting with your friends
when suddenly the sky seems to grow
hazy, the crows stop cawing, and the
buzzards quit fighting in the street.
There is q general rush, and, though you
may not know what is the matter, you
can not help feeling uneasy. The old
natives say, Eve are going to have a
little shake, and then the house begins
to rock, the tumblers fall off the table,
you feel deadly sick at the stomach, and
the thing is over; the sky clears, the
crows begin their noisy screams. and the
buzzards resume their quarrel over the
street offal. There is something mex
pressively terrifying, however, about
the trembling of the earth; the slightest
oscillation will awaken the population
of the whole town and rouse drunkard
out of the deepest stupor; but unless
some considerable damage is done every
body goes to sleep again as matter Of
course.-IInterview with Traveller.

why Cats Are Thin.

Lagrange's Philosophy gives some
peculiar facts as to why cats are the
bony creatures they always seem to be.
Have you ever inquired how it is that
cats can combine with their proverbial
idleness such great agility? asks the
writer Muscular inaction leads just as
much in other kinds of animals as in the
human species to obesity; the dog which
does not hunt, the horse kept in the
stable, becomes fat and sluggish.
Wild animals even, if kept in cage,
where they are forced into the repose of
domestic life, rapidly lose their slender
ness of figure and their case of move
ment
Why does the cat escape the ordinary
Law, and why, in spite of the fact that
it rarely moves, does it seldom become
fat. as does dog or horse under similar
circumstances
1t is because its inability is not that of
inaction, and its nerves are working
while its muscles seem at rest Like the
fencer waiting the moment to attack,
the cat is constantly ready to spring. tt
is always watching something's rat,
fly. or joint of meat.
A drawing room cat makes only three
or four springs in the course of day,
but each of them has been preceded by
two or three hours of latent work.
When we believe that the animal is
engaged in happy dream, it is mediate
ing capture, calculating the distance
of its spring, and holding its muscles in
readiness for anything that may happen.
Hence it is never taken by surprise.
If little bird escape from the cage, it is
caught and eaten in three seconds. The
cat has been watching it for week.
When it seemed asleepit was lying in
wait.

Apple Blossoms in Winter.

Perhaps ever, one does not know
how easily can be had fresh apple
blossms in winter. Get the ends OF
branches with plump flower buds and
place them in water in a warm, sunny
window, and they will soon bloom. No
doubt many other kinds of trees and
shrubs will give as good satisfaction as
the apple. Here is an interesting field

their skill at solving it. Let US hear
from anyone who thinks they have
found the answer.
Adam. God made of dust,
But thought it best to make me first;
So was made before the man.
To answer Gods most holy plan.
Ny body God did make complete,
But without arms, or legs or feet,
My ways and actions did control.
But to my body gave soul.
Hvlng being became,
And Adam gave to me my name;
from his presence then Withdrew,
No more of Adam ever knew.
did my Makers law obey.
Nor from it ever went astray
Thousands OF miles went in fear.
But seldom did on earth appear.
For purpose wise, which God did see,
He put living soul in me;
A soul from me my God did claim,
And took from me that soul again.
For when from me the soul had fed,
was the same as when first made;
And without hand or feet, or soul.
I travel on from pole to pole.
/ labor hard by day and night,
To fallen men give great light,
Thousands of people young and old
Will by my death great light behold.
No right or wrong can conceive.
The Scripture cannot believe
Although my name therein isfound
They are to me an empty sound.
No fear of death doth trouble me.
Real happiness meier shall see,
TO heaven shall never GO,
Nor to she grave, nor hell below.
Now when these lines you slowly read,
Go search your Bible with all speed.
For that my names recorded there
honestly to you declare.
