Had Been There Before.

I asked the governor Of the Not
tingham Jail how they made sure
they'd got an old hand if he consist
emily denied his identity and stoutly
refused to admit he'd been convicted
before. He told me that, failing
other indicia, the mans demeanor
and unconscious familiarity with
prision ways were always, sooner or
later, spotted by the warders. But
they had one case Of a man they
we're quite unable to catch until one
morning he inadvertently folded his
blanket in particular way, so par
ticular that it was instantly noted by
a warder as the fashion only prac-
ticed and enforced at Warwick,
where, sure enough, he had not long
before been incarcerated.

DEAR MOTHER EARTH.

Dear Mother Earth, full oft I long
To sing thy praises in song.
/ ache to lay me down to rest !
Somewhere upon thy yielding breast
To turn my pavement wearied feet
Beyond the seeming endless street
And seek some dimpled country rlace,
Half cool, half warm, for thy embrace.
Then kiss thee, prone upon my face.
Dear Mother Earthl
Like old Antmus long ago,
Whose strength surged up from earth be-
feel there is peace in thee,
Which thou dost whisper unto me
When thus press thee cheek to cheek
Thou art SO strong and I so weak.
And some time there shall come day
When tender, trembling hands shall lay
Me deep to mingle with thy clay,
Dear Mother Earth.
Thy gift to me shall come to thee,
And as thou art SO shall be.
owe thee all and SO must try
To make thee better ere die
And as we twain are one, see
Bettering myself may better thee.
And so rise from thy embrace
Revived and with a hopeful grace,
Thus having met thee face to face,
..E Dear Mother Earth.

Sensation In the Two Sexes.

DR.. Den of Iurie&f, Dorpat, has pub
ished a graduation dissertation in
German on the comparative sensi-
tiveness Of the skin and taste in men
and women in different classes of
life, in which he shows that Lom-
broso's view that all kinds Of sensa-
ton except that of pain are better
developed in men than in women is
incorrect. He himself has employed
more delicate methods Of investiga-
ton and finds that the sensitiveness
to temperature and to electrical cur
rents and Of taste is greater in wom-
en- than in men, both among ed
ucated aud uneducated people; that
the sense of, locality, as determined
by Weber's compasses, is better de-
veloped among uneducated women
than among uneducated men, but
that among educated people it is
the same for both sexes The sensa-
ton of pressure is also the same for
both sexes. Among educated men
all forms Of sensation are better de-
veloped than in the uneducated. In
the case Of women, however, educa-
ton seems to make but little differ
ence in the sensation, though pain is
felt from the induced electrical cur
rent sooner by uneducated than by
educated Women.-London Lancet.

gave them the choice Of going on or
abandoning the project. The seven who
were with him remained true, and eight
more were added from the crews of the
vessels in the sound. From the mouth
of the river to the wharves of Plymouth
is eight miles, and of course pickets
were to be encountered, and the town
and surrounding earthworks were known
to contain some Confederate soldiers.
The party set out on the evening Of
the 27th, having along a small cutter to
use as an advance boat and surprise any
slight force that should be encountered.
A mile below Plymouth the wreck Of
the Southfeld, sunk by the Albemarle
in April, was above water and was used
as a Confederate picket station for the
river This watch was passed success
fully. Cushing intended, if he reached
the wharves in safety, to make land
and cut the rams fastenings and get
her into deep water, but he passed SO
near her that he received a hail and con-
oluded to lose no time.
The men on the Albemarle sprung the
rattles, rang the bell and opened fire,
repeating the hail. Now a bright light
from fire on the bluffs disclosed to the
adventures the monstrous black form
Of their enemy moored at the wharf,
with boom Of logs spreading out all
around her as q protection from this

in Plymouth harbor. The Union gun
boat Southfeld went to the bottom un-
der blow from the ram S powerful
beak, and her consort, the Miami,
steamed away to escape like treatment.
On the 9th Of May following the ram
suddenly appeared in Albemarle sound
and accepted battle with seven Union
steamers. The gunboat Sassacus tried to
ram her down, but exploded her boiler
in the engagement, and the Albemarle
returned up the Roanoke Three weeks
later party of Union volunteers tried
to blow her out Of water with torpedoes
as she lay at moorings, but were driven
off by riflemen on her decks. ~.
For five months after this attempt
the ram lay off Plymouth, where she
was found at the wharf on the 9th Of
October by Lieutenant w. B. Gushing
of the navy and effectually destroyed.
The deed is unparalleled in the annals
of war.
After the luckless battles of the fleet
with the ram, Admiral S. P. Lee, COM
mander Of the north Atlantic squadron,
mentioned the case to Gushing, and he

The first plan was to steal upon the YES

second, to destroy her with spar torpe-
does attached to small swift boats.
These plans did not appear to please

but Cushing was SO heartily Endorsed by
his Immediate superiOrs that he was
provided with means to go ahead.
Gushing found two launches in New
York harbor, which he fitted out and
provided with torpedoes and all the
rigging for placing and exploding them.
The boats, which were open launches
with steam propellers, were taken
through canals to Chesapeake bay, and
one was lost in the bay, so that the prof
J ect was carried out with half the force
originally intended. From the Chesa-
, peake into the sounds the route was by
canal, and at times the boat had to be
borne on scow, owing to the shallow
water. The crew Of the boat were vol
unteers, and Cushing enjoyed their alb.
solute confidence, without which he
, must have failed. They were now in
the enemy's country, without protec-
tion and only handful in themselves.
The men who took part at this time
numbered seven in all. Great secrecy
