AN ITALIAN LIBEL
Tho Arrest of Ugo Paladini at the Instance Of
q. Castruccio


q. Castruccio
Ugo Paladini, editor OF the Italian
weekly published in this city under the
name of L Eco della Colonia, was arrested
yesterday afternoon on complaint of G.
Castrucclo, the well-known Main street
grocer, who charges him with criminal
libel.
The offensive language was used in the
issue of the Eco of the 18th inst. and a
part of it consisted in calling Castruccio
great ass. loaded with gilded lead. an
over erbearIng one who strikes the extreme.
ly weak with his fists when an oppor-
tilnity arises. an imbecie who will re-
ceive four very strong kicks in the seat
of his trousers. accompanied by the re-
frain: go to the devil!'
The article complained of is a very
lengthy one, drawn up in melodramatic
style and is the outcome of one of the
little strifes in teapot which have been
keeping the italian colony in hot water for
some time.
Mr. Paladini was arraigned before JUS
tce Young late in the afternoon and his
bond fixed at $500, which vas given.

PUFFERS FEAST ON CRABS.
Fate of Fiddlers or Blue Grabs That Get

When pursued by an enemy, the puffer

of about eight inches The puiTcr has in
each jaw two .;ronp triangular teeth. with
sharp, cutting edges. set close together.

When the crab is about half way to the
bottom, putfer makes a dart at it as
though it were butting it. 1t doesn't APP
pear to bite the crab. The crab sinks to
the bottom, its claws still held rigid, feigIi-
ing death, perhaps, for there are fish that
won't eat dead food though the puffer is
not one of them.
On the bottom the crab ambles off to
one end of the tank, and there a little kill
lie comes down to look at it. Then puff
or darts down and with single quick
snap bites piece out of its shell at the
front edge. After that the buffers make
short work of the crab. The killies, big
and little, help themselves when they have
an opportunity, and so do the shrimps,

But look Der the fail see the angler stand
Swinging his rod with slsillful hand;
The fly at the end of mis- gossamcr line
Swims through the sun like a summer moth,
Till dropt with n careful precision fine,
1t touches the pool beyond the froth.
A-sudden the spoclIlod hawk of the brook
Darts from his covert and seizes the hook.
Swift spins the reel; with easy slip
The line pays out, and the rod, like a whip,
1.-the and arrowy, tapering, slim,
Is bent TO "a bow DER the brooklct's brim.
Till the trout leaps up in the sun, and filings
The spray from the flash Of his fnny wings;
Then falls on his side, and, drunken with
fright
Is towed to the shore like a staggering barge,
Till bcachcd mt last on the sandy marge,
Where he dies with the hues Of the morning
light,
While his sides with a cluster Of stars are
bright.

The constellation and goes his ways

Birch Oil.

very large quantity of birch oil is
manufactured in the wiids of Connecticut,
and with simplicity equaling sugar max
ing in the Vermont forests. Birch twigs
are cut into even lengths of five inches
and thrown into water tight tanks having
copper bottoms. 4 coil of steam pipes is
arranged in the bottom, and three feet of
water poured in, the tops are Theoretically
sealed, steam turned on and the water
kept boiling for six hours. Into the side
of each boiling tank "a steam pipe is in
serted and Rms in the form of worm in
to barrel Of cold water, and cold water
is flowing continually into this barrel
The steam rising from the boiling birch
twigs passes through this pipe and is con-
denscd in the worm, while the oil drops
from the end of the pipe into small re-
cciving jar or pail. The oil as it drips
down, being dull brown, is carefully clar-
flied until OF "a very light green, and, in
stead of chemical processes, Qualification is
accomplished by simply spreading heavy
wooden blanket over the wood inside the
tank. In IA proper kind of mill, however,
the oil now drops out pure and ready for
market. one ton of birch yields four
pounds of oil, and the oil is worth IS or
more per pound.-New York sun.
