SIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE,

A Story Showing its Extreme Uncertainty

and Complications,

The following story shows that circum- stantial evidence is sometimes very tain: Two sailors, coming offa long voy- ive, landed at Liyerpool each with a large sum of money in his pocket, and after engaging a room for joint Occupation at ne of tue sailors’ bourding houses which abound in all seaports near the docks, pro- ceeded to fill up with liquor as rapidly as possible, and at night tambled in the one bed in their ro»0m a3 drunk a3 it was pos- sible for a sailor to I'he following morning the people of the house went to arouze them, and on opening the door were horriged at seeing the bedding and floor drenched with blood, and only one man in the bed. With difficulty they aroused him and enquired where his companien was, He expressed surprise at his absence, ard denied any knowledge of the matter.

vet. get

The missing man’s clothes lay on the floor, and they were searched, but no money was found in them.

[he remaining man was made .o get up, and on -earching the bed a bag which was recognized as belonging to the miss- ng man containing his money was foun! under the other man’s pillow, who was unable to account for its presence there, and who denied any recolleciion of anything that had occured during the night. There was a door op2ning ont of a passage near this room into a plank path down to the water side,on which was traces all the way from this room to the water’s edge. On this circumstantial evidence the man was arrested and tried, and sentenced to be hanged. In tdose days the fiading of the body was not an absolute necessity. The sentence was varrie 1 out, the prisoner protesting to the last his innocense. Some two or three years aftrrward the man supposed to have been murdered turned up in Liver- pool again aud‘ was horrified at hearing that his former companion had been ex- ecuted for his murder. His explanation was as follows: When they went to bed thev were both very much intoxicated, but as his companion slept nearest the wall he had yet sense enough left to push his bag of money under his companion’s head, thinking if any One came to rob them in the night they would be unable to find it there without awakening one or both of them. During the night he wes taken with a violent bleeding of the nose, and after vainly endeavoring to staunch it, he, without dressing (it was a hot sum- mer’s night), groped his way outside and down to the water’s edge, where he sat on some steps bathing bis nose and face with the co'd water. While eo engaged the press gang (a mode formerly in use in England for forcibly recruiting the Eng- lish navy with able-bodied seamen) came along, seizcd him and took him to a man- of war ship lying in the river and shipped h'm a3 one of the crew. Soon after the ship sailed to a foreign station, and he heard nothtng of the supposed murder un- til his return several vears after. It is true that, under our present l.w, the body must be found, but how easy it would have been for this half-drunken sailor to have fallen in and been drowned, instead of being pressed into service. And then how strong the circumstantial evidence would have been that his companion murdered mim aud carried his dead b dy

down to the water and threw it in. oe

SYMPHTHY FOR ALL BACHELORS,

What a sad, pathetic thing Tis to struggle all through life As a lonely, friendless man, With no tender, loving wife.

With no clever hand to knit Gloves to keep the fingers warm; (Not to mention tender smiles So to keep the heart’s affection warm)

With no swift, untiring feet, Trotting round with busy tread,

Making all the house look neat, Now upstairs to make the bed.

Now down cellar getting cream, For a strengthening cnp of tea; Flitting thither like a gleam Of sunshine through a leafy tree,

With no soft, melodious voice, Clear and sweet as maple sup,

To sing him songs that would rej ice Any tired, weary chap.

With no patient little soul, Speaking words of good advice;

Now pathetic, often droll, Sometimes funny, always nice.

Ah ! my heart doth oft times ache

For the lonely bachelor man;

I hope a loving wife he’il take

Just as quickly as he can.

What a Russian Savant Hopes to Accom- plish in Unifying the Race

Some ten years ago a Russian gentle- man named Zamenhoff, disappointed at the failure of Volapuk to accomplish ite punpose, invented a new language, to which he gave the name of Esperanto. It is a universal language; its grammar may be learned in an hour, and all its vocabul- ary of words in a few daye. Max Muller and Tolstoi write it, and it has been Jearn- ed by many persons in Germany, Eng- land, France, Scandinavia, Italy, Spain and parts of Africa. It is not wholly unkown inthis country. Verses may be written in it, and translations of the [liad and Hamlet have been published.

The roots of the new ianguage have been taken froia English, French and Ger man. Thins the root of all words pertain- ingto love is“am,” The substantive— love—is formed by adding “‘o,” the adjec- tive by adding “a,” theverb by adding “as,” which changes to “is’’ for the past, and “‘os” for the future. A similar root ix adopted for othr words in general use, and is converted into verb, noun or adjac- tive by a similar addition of one or two letters. The grammar is simplicity itself. It is reckoned that one-fourth of the 4,000 words which an ordinary American uses in conversation or correspondence will suf tice to express common thoughts.

The inventors of E+peranto are not dis- couraged by the decline in the enthusiasm with which Vo'apuk was at first reccived. It is pot true, as some one humorously remarked, that Volapuk became a dead language before it ever was a living one Though the schools for teaching Voiapuk have been closed, and one never runs acrose @ walume writen in that language, it has nat passed out of use. It is con- stanthy employed by correspording clerks in mercantile houses who address their corresp ndevts in Asia, South America and Africa in that tongue. In some cities which have a large toreign trade, an applicant for the post of corresponding clerk is required to be.cble to write Vol- lapuk. As the development of commercial intercourse with Asia increases, it may gain ground. ?

The idea of Dr. Zamendoff and his friends is that Esperanto will supersede Volapuk, because it is simpler and more readily acquired. They look for its widest extension in Asia and among the nations which do business with Asia. It is evident that ihe monosyllabic tongues are doomed toextinction. It is almost impossible to adjust them to the usages of the telegraph.

TRUTH.

_~_

Tant @ hand on the rudder that will not pen,

There's no fear in the pilot's face

As he guides the worl4s, like boats in @ storm,

Through the rocking seas of space,

And whether they make the harbor at last

Beyond the shoals and the swell,

Or sail forever a shoreless sea,

1 know that all is well,

And I learn these things from the heart of the wood,

From the solemn sou! of the sea,

For never a bird in a wire-bound cage

Told all these things to me.

And the soul of man is a sunward bird,

With wings that are made for flight,

To pierce che fount of the shining day,

And float through the depths of night.

And S rend these things in that Bible of sod,

Whose leaves are the spreading sky,

And the legible face of the dark green sea,

With the eye behind the eye.

Yor truth is not closed in the lids of a

: v0k.

For its chainiess soul is free,

And never a bird in a wire-bound cage

Told all these things to me.

For truth surges into the open heart,

And into the willing eye,

And streams from the breath of the stream- ing earth,

And drops from the bending sky:

‘Tis not shut in a book, in a church, or a

; school,

Nor cramped in the chains of a creed.

But lives in the open air and the light

For all men in their need!

But the fish that swims in a goldfish vase

Knows not of the salted sea,

And never a bird in a wire-bound cage

Told all these things to me.

‘Tis the voice that comes from the gilded peaks,

From the hills that shoulder the sky,

Through the topless hights of «4 man’s own dreams

And who roams the ear,

With an ear attuned to hear,

Will catch some broken chord of the sound

Whenever the voice comes near.

But not past the prison of custom or creed

Will the voice of the vision flee;

And never a bird In a wire-bound cage

To'd all these things to me.

Mise Barton and the Red Croas.

In all the excitement of the position in which she “nds herself, Miss Barton maintains a steady calm, exercising a most wholesome influence over those equally devoted to the cause, though less well poised. One of the secrets of her power and of her great accomplish- ment is that no obstacle seems to dis- courage her. Indeed, she recognizes no ebstacles. Few people understand what Miss Barton has done for the Red Cross in America; that through her agency alone the United States was in- duced to sign the international treaty, and that the organization is supported through her charity. The rent of the handsome house on Seventeenth street, opposite the War Department, which the society occupies, is paid out of her private purse, and her officers give their services gratuitously. The Red Cross has never received any aid from Con- gress, which will be news, doubtless, to many people, who have been under the impression that the society was sup- ported, in part, at ieast, by the Gov- ernment.—Washington Post.

a res s First Chinese Tramp on Record.

Oakland has a Chinese tramp, the first on record in the country. He was arrested for vagrancy in Berkeley yes- terday, asleep near the gate of Dr. O'Toole, and when brought to the county jail gave the name of Ah Lee.

On being searched by the prison offi- cials for stray bits of opium or a knife, his outer blouse was removed. Nothing was found beneath it but a shirt. This was taken off and revealed another shirt. When this was removed, a third shirt was found, then a fourth, a fifth, a sixth and a seventh. The unkempt Mongol grunted when his last garment was removed. He said:

“Keep him warm.”

Three pairs of baggy Chinese panta- loons and two pairs of socks were re- quired to keep his nether limbs warm.

When asked why he didn’t work he replied:

“No job. No likee look, No likee too much trouble.”—San Francisco Chron- icle.

When to Water Horser,

Always water your horses the firs¢ thing in the morning, and do not let the water be too cold. If it is too cold you will probably have a case of colic. Water is best when it is about 10 de- grees warmer than the outside air in wirter, and as much cooler in summer. Give the hay before the grain, so that the stomach may be partially filled before the concentrated food gets into it. Better still, feed chopped feed. Mix the ground grain with dampened hay or fodder, and give the largest feed at

night, wher the horse has time to di- gest it. Fat and food for the muscles
