dumbfounded. while the English plen.

meaning of the three English words

Beaconstield. but Latin"
Everybody came around TO listen
and his lordship repeated his terrible
words, and it was discovered that they

Beaconsfield considered that sehou-

a Peculiar Case.

Gov Clarke recently pardoned John
Pleasant and Bob May, of jefferson
county, who were sent to the peniten-
tiary last December for one year for
stealing a cow
The Circumstance surrounding the case recall
the story of Damon and Pythias. Pleasant
May and two other negroes were indicted for
grand larceny, and before they were arraigned
the prosecuting attorney proposed to dismiss
the charge against two OF the quartette If the
other two would plead guilty This was agreed
20 and in order to determine which pair would
plead guilty and be sent to the penitentiary the
dice box was called into requisition Pleasant
and May won and the other two were left to
plead guilty and suffer the consequences It
happened that the two who lost were old ne
groes with families dependent upon them, while
the other two were young negroes without fam
lies. Pleasant and May thought the matter
over and decided to plead guilty themselves
and permit their two compatriots to go free.
When these facts were laid before Governor
Clarke he promptly pardoned the two self-sac-
rihcing negroes.

JOURNALISM IN SWEDEN.

Students Travel Around mt the Ex.
pense of the State.
7 notice that in Sweden the educa-
ton Of journalists is treated as q func-
ton Of the state. Under this en-
lightened system the, young Journalist
gains a knowledge Of the world by
travelling at the expense Of the tax
payer. He receives an allowance
which, owing to my ignorance of the
Swedish coinage, cannot reckon in
pounds sterling, but 1t is evidently suf-
fcient to enable him to study the insti-
tutions of Europe. If journalism We're
equally appreciated by our backward
government, I should long ago have
a practical acquaintance with the
Swedish currency. What would the
chancellor of the exchequer in any min
istry say if he were requested to pro-
vide me with the necessary funds for
continental tour? The Swedes take
the sensible view that, if Journalists
are to instruct the public opinion, they
must acquire the necessary informa-
ton at the public charge. Swedish
editors travel by railway in their own
country without paying the fare. What
would the British railway companies
say if our penny editors, as Carlyle
used to call them, demanded g. similar
privilege? Perhaps the spirit of emu
lation might be excited if some penny
editor were to make journey without
a ticket, and, when hauled before the
nearest beak, plead the Swedish ex-
ample as a justification. We don't hear
enough about Sweden, and this would
be a fcapital opportunity for extolling
that civilized land in an impressive
manner. #
Presently we shall have troops of
Swedish journalists taking notes in our
newspaper offices, and expressing sur
prise and pleasure to find that Gus
tavus Adolphus is still one of our
Protestant heroes. They will learn
with pain. however, that a distin-
guished statesman never reads the
newspapers, and even questions the ca
pacity Of the penny editors to under
stand what the house of commons is
about. They will hear with amaze
ment that there is or rather, there
was. an education bill in which no pro-
vision was made for sending Journalists
to the italian lakes Personally, in
cine to believe that this omission was
the real reason why the bill was with
drawn. At any rate, before January
next there ought to be such an agitation
Of penny editors as will convince Mr..
Balfour that a visit to Paris in the sea-
son of the opera balls must be under
taken by every Journalist at the ma
tienal cost, if England is to retain the

Ozone Apparatus.

" Ozone is now frequently employed
by electroth erapists for the treatment
of tuberculosis and affections of the
throat and nose. It is an admirable
purifier of bad air, and is used in the.
library Of the British museum, in Lon
don, and other places Of public resort
where ventilation is inadequate to the
renewal of the air vitiated by the CON
1inued presence Of a large number of
visitors. In hospitals ozone is manu-
featured by large static machines, and
then dissipated through the wards by
means of large electrical fans. One of
the latest novelties in electrical irstlll-
ments is an ozone inhaler for domestic
use. by which a patient can carry out
ut home the treatment prescribed by
his physician. 1t consists of several
tubes a few inches long, surrounded by
an aluminium armature, with electric
connections. One terminal of the sec
ondary coil is connected to a copper
wire running the length of vacuum
tube, the other to the aluminium coy.,s-
ing, which. has numerous points di-
rectly8 toward it,. From these points,
when the current is turned on, is sent
out q stream of sparks of purple aud
magenta tint, and the oxygen of the
air is convertible INTO ozone The op-
GRAFTON of this instrument has most
refreshing and beneficial effect on the
patient.
