PLEADED GUILTY.

Delaney tai CaffieySent®n«ed to Death - —— After Pleading Guflty Another In-sm-rn-CF. Patrick Delaney and Thomas Caffrey, two more of the men charged with participation in the murder of Cavendish and Burke, were arraigned for trial at Dublin on the 2d inst They created a sensation tn the court-room of June. Before Caffrey had pleaded guW he was informed bjr his solicitors that the crowh gave no hopes of mitigation of the sentence of death which would be naased upon him. When Delaney was called upon to plead he said: “I am guilty ot being ill the park at the time Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr; Burke Were killed, but 1 did not Commit the murder. I plead guilty; The Judge explained to him that thti really amounted to the plea of innocence. Delaney then formally pleaded guilty. He said, “I was brought into this at first foolishly,' not knowing what it waa I wss forced from my work to go the park. We had to obey the orders of the society or take the consequences. When I got In the park I could not get away. I saw toe murders committed, but I took no part in them. I went to the park on Kavanagh’s car. He speaks the truth; so does Carey. The murders were committed by Joe Brady ana Timothy Kelly, and by nobody else. I saved Judge Lamson’s life at the risk of my own. I was put on to shoot him by Mullett ana Brady. The only way to escape the task was by calling the guards attention." Judge O’Brien, in passing sentence on Delar ney. said he had a duty to perform. He had at the previous trial of a prisoner for attempting to shoot Judge Lamson pitied Mm because he showed some feeling for his wife and family. The prisoner would see towhat misery they had been brought by the wicked system of conspiracy. When Caffrey was placed in toe dock his face wore a smile. The consequence of pleading guilty was again f ully explained to him in open court, but he persisted in his plea. On being asked whether he had anything to say why sentence should not now be passed upon him, Caffrey replied, in a loud, clear voice: . • kwJ “AU I have got to say, standing on the brink of the grave. Is that I did not know what was going to happen until twenty minutes before the murders were committed. 1 wan bound to go to the park under pain of death.” The Judge, in passing sentence, said that there were no means of judging the truth of the prisoner’s statement Ha did not decide that it was necessarily wholly untrue. . . , Thirteen of the prisoners who have been confined in Kilmainbam jaU charged with having been connected with the CavendishBurke tragedy in Phoenix Park, who have never been brought to trial on that charge, says a Dublin dispatch, have been indicted and will be tried for another crime. One of their number Joseph Hanlon, has turned informer, and produces evidence to connect them with the conspiracies set on foot to murder Earl Cowper, Mr. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland, and other prominent officials, whose lives they jeopardized, but did not succeed in taking. The Government regards the evidence sufficient to convict on the charge of conspiracy, while the men cannot be closely connected with the Phoenix Park association.

SOME OF THE VETERANS.

Moultonbobough, N. H., boasts of a widow 90 years old who never took any doctor’s medicine. Elisha Durden, of Walton county, Georgia, is said to be lu2 years old. He picked a bale of cotton in his centennial year. Joseph Cabbell, a veteran of the war of 1812, died at Westminster, Bucks county, Pa., lately, in the 91st year of his age. A negbo woman recently died in Washington county, Ark., at the age of 112 yeaxa Strange to say. she was not one of G.

Rodgers, a 60-year-old widow, of Shelby county, Ky., has pieced a diamond quilt which contains 1,686 pieces,* double sunflower quilt containing 2,000 pieces and a hexigon quilt containing 1,400 blocks. Hagerstown, Md., claims the oldest workingman in that State, if not in the Union. Robert Lewis, who is in the 95th year of his age, has just completed the mason work of a cistern at a residence in that city, doing the work in a thorough manner. He is in vigorous health and bids fair to continue his labors for years to coma Mrs. Sarah Kellogg, of McLean, HL, on the occasion of her 78th birthday, was surprised at the washtub by a party of friends, who tendered her a party in honor of the anniversary. Mrs. Kellogg has not evidently outlived her usefulness, and puts to shame the dainty misses of the present day, who fear that the performance of any useful act, like assisting in the family washing, is not in accordance with the compass of their “sphere." Macon county boasts the oldest man living in Missouri, if not the oldest in the country. His name is Robert Gibson, and his age is over 116 years.

A few weeks since an old woman, upward of GO years of age, died at a place called Eglinton, near Londonderry, Ireland. The usual arrangements for a funeral were made, including a wake. The coffin was closed and taken to the place of interment, where the service was duly gone through, the coffin lowered and the grave filled in. On returning home, however, the relatives were amazed to find the corpse of the old woman a upon the bed upon which she had exThey had simply forgotten to put her in the coffin. They took het to the grave in a cart, dug up the empty coffin, placed her in it, and eventually had her securely planted.

NATURAL HISTORY.

One hundred and forty-seven makes were killed one day near Salesville, Montana. The Union Springs (N. Y.) Herald tells of a hen that laid two eggs on Sunday and three the next day. The canvas-back duck is domesticating itself in the inland lakes of lowa, and becoming quite plenty. A living tortoise is on exhibition $t Natchez which has not eaten anything to speak of for thirteen months. A pelican was killed near Batesville. Miss., which measured eight feet eight inches from tip to tip of wing. A Nobth Carolina trout dragged a boy under water. The man who saw the catastrophe shows the rescued boy and water in evidence. In a fight between a rat and a rattlesnake at Portland, Ora, the rat was victorious The snake was in a weak condition from want of food As a careless New Haven horse was going up to the watering-trough he stepped on a setter-dog’s tail as that animal was enjoying a snooze. The dog jumped up with a howl and sprang into the basin, just as the thirsty horse stuck his heated nostrils into the water, and floundered about so that the equine could not drink. The dog stopped three times, just long enough to let him try to drink, but each time shut him off by floundering about The horse gave it up in disgust, and the dog hopped out, seemingly satisfied with his revenge. Paul du Chaillu could hardly rake up a better panther story than the following from the Palatka (Fla.) Herald: “On Sunday last three colored men were out deer hunting near White’s log camp back of RollstOn. One of them was at his stand. The dogs were heard coming in that direction. Boon therfi was a terrible commotion In the bushes. the sound coming toward him. The darky, thinking it was a deer, stepped so as to get a fair shot, when suddenly a tremendous panther confronted him. Hearing a noise behind he looked round and, to hie surprise and horror, saw another in a tree, which he fired at ana killed just as it was in the act of springing upon him. The other immediately escaped, much, as the darky says, to his delight The one he killed measured seven feet, and the negro estimates the male to be twice as large.” Rome Sentinel: Henry Fish, of Lee Center, who has lately come from Lone Rock, Wia. says: “Andrew Harter, of Lone Rook, went out on a rocky part of his farm one day last spring, and, while looking around, saw the head of a rattlesnake protruding from a crevice in the rock. Taking in the general surroundings, he concluded that it must be a regular den of rattlesnakes, so he built a pen about ten feet square and three feet nigh about the place and awaited results. The pen was watched, and with a wire snare something like a fish snare seventy-nine snakes, varying in length from 18 Inches to 4% feet, were, during the summer, landed in a barrel placed inside the inclosure. Four of the largest were placed in the barrel on Decoration Day, and in November they were still alive. As they had been placed in the barrel as soon as they left their winter quarters, they had lived a whole year without anything to eat As the snakes bad not thawed out this spring when Mr. Fish left, it was not known whether they were still alive or not"

A Wrong Calculation

catnnthiartH of thaHbrigtiim era; Some 7490 t SLd^n' wM ? ch te h STto Sta’Sith this point. He examined four copper coins, newly discovered, which were struck in the reign of Herod Antipas, Was born hot in 754 but 749 years after the fotinriftfation of Boffifi, and therefore that the present year is 1888 instead of 1883; This opinion the prolessor tries to corroborate by the testimony of the evangelists, According to St. Matthew, Jesus was born toward the end of the reign of Herod the Great, and when that King died Jesus was yet a little child. According to St. Luke Jesus waa born in the year in which, by virtue of a decree of Augustus Caesar, Cyronius, Governor of Syria, made the first census of Judea. Again St. Luke says that St. John began to baptize in the fifteenth year of the reign Tiberius Caesar, and in that year baptized Jesus, who was then 30 years of age. As to the first testimony can be no misunderstanding. Christ, being born in 779, was of course yet a baby in 750', when Herod died. But the other testimony needs some explanation. From the breviarium imperil (census of the empire) which was added to the! will of Augustus Caesar, it is evident that a thorough census of the countries that composed the Boman empire must have been made. In fact Augustus had three censuses of his empire made, namely, 726, 746 and 766. As St. Luke says that in Judea the first census was made during the reign of Herod, the oensus must have been ordered in 746. Probably the census was begun in Judea in 747, and Prof. Sattler thinks it was not made in Jerusalem earlier than 749. He finds that the four coins enable him to make clear the testimony of the Evangelist as to the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius. ThoughJAugustus died on Aug. 19, 767, yet the beginning of the reign of Tiberius must be counted a year and a half earlier (February 766), when he was appointed co-regent. Therefore the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius falls in 780, when St. John baptized Jesus, who was then about 80 year of age. An evangelist says that Christ began, to preach forty-six years after the temple at Jerusalem was built by Herod. Now, it is known that the building of the temple was begun eighteen years after Herod wais appointed by the Boman Senate as regent of Judea, or in the year 734 from the foundation of Borne. Adding forty-six to that year, it gives 780 as the year in wl ich Christ began to preach. If all these calculations of Prof Sattler are correct then the Christian era beg?n five years earlier than is usually supposed.—New York Sun.

Timely Information.

Dynamite looks very much like moist brown sugar. Nitro-glycerine, which is formed by the action of nitric acid upon glycerine, at low temperature, is the active agent in dynamite; but it is mixed with some absorbent substance to make it safer to handle than the liquid nitroglycerine. The absorbent material used is a silicious earth, a fine white powder composed of the remains of infusoria, and resembling powdered chalk. This takes up two or three times its weight of nitro-glycerine, without becoming pasty, and the ingredients are easily mixed, leaden vessels and wooden spoons being used to avoid dangerous friction. If flame is applied to this mass it burns with a strong flame, but will not explode; but when ignited by a detonating fuse, or even by a sudden blow, its explosive force is tremendous, being about six times that of gunpowder.

A Bellowing Match.

I [Dumaine, the Paris actor, claimed to have the most powerful voice in France; One of his fellow-actors, Machanette, disputed the honor with him one day, and, after much wrangling, they agreed to settle their claims by actual test at the Porte St. Martin case. “I’ll lay a wager that I can break a pane of glass by simply calling. ‘Come in,’” said Machanette. “I’ll ..wager that you will not be able to do it, and that I will,” said Dumaine. “Done.” Dumaine commenced. The winaow rattled, but did not break; but there was a panic among the waiters. Then Machanette tried, and lo! ten panes of glass were shattered. Dumaine owned that he had lost; but it was not long before they both found out that two of their friends, overhearing the wager, had placed themselves outside the case and smashed the window with their canes at the moment of Machanette’s bellowing.

The Drop of a Rifle Bullet.

The drop of a bullet at 100 yards will be nearly ten inches, basing the opinion on the Bashfurth experiments, and an assumed velocity of 1,900 feet per second, which is about as much velocity as can be gotten out of a thirtyinch, forty-caliber barrel, with as light a ball (100 grains); the powder (believed to be not exceeding ninety grains) occupying (for an average four fingers No. 8 hand)-two and threequarters inches of the bore, and not being fully consumed. With an assumed velocity of 2,100 feet per second, the drop will be at least eight inches in that distance.— American Field.

Bananas.

The bananas eaten in the Western States are shipped from the Isthmus of Panama to New Orleans, and are thence carried to the prominent cities. It may not be unprofitable to many people to say to them that the best banana is one whose skin has begun to turn dark—the kind which the ignorant buyer is likely to reject. A banana sliced length] wise may be fried in butter, and is an excellent accompaniment to fried bacon. It may also be used for a fritter, and it very pleasantly mingles with sliced oranges and with strawberries.

Odd Thoughts.

Sterne wrote: “Were lin a condition to stipulate with death, I should certainly declare against submitting to it before my friends, and therefore I never seriously think upon the mode and manner of this great catastrophe, but I constantly draw the curtain across it with this wish, that the Disposer of all things may so order it that it happen not to me in my house, but rather in some decent inn. ” Otway said: “In all other uneasy chances of a man’s life, there’s an immediate recourse to some kind of succor; in want we apply to our friends, in sickness to physicians; but love, the sum total of all misfortunes, must be endured in silence; no friend so dear to trust with such a secret, nor remedy in art so powerful to remove its anguish. ” Samuel Johnson wrote; “In a man’s letters his soul is naked—whatever passes within him is there shown undisguised; nothing is inverted, nothing distorted, but to make a letter without affection, without wisdom, without gayety, without news, and without a secret is, doubtless, the great epistolic art.”
