.1 .V 1 1 A I 1 1 S A An Irishman had boon convicted of a robbery at the Mil Huily Hossinnn, for which he \v ts brought up, witli others, Lo rceeivejudnmcntofdeath. The prisoner, jOii Iteinj called on by the ollieer of tin- coin in tie- usual way to declare what lie had to nay why sentence of death should not lx) passed upon him advanced to the front of the door, with vac.nit Mtare, ami inquired: "What was the question

You have been convicted of robbery. What have you to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon you Acc'irdintf to law?"

Faith," answered the prisoner, "I have iioihitiK natch to say, axcept that 1 do not think I am safe in your hands."

The court laughed sentence was passed, and the prisoner was about, to retire, when the ollieer of the court called him back and demanded to know his age.

Is it my a^e ye niano?" What is your i^e?" I believe* I am pretty well asouldas over I'll be." •V^tin lie whole court was convulsed with laughter but the wretched man, whoso mirth-moving powt r-\ wero quite involuntary, was doomed even at the M'allold to "8it the people In a roar." In the press-room his irons were removed, and his arms confined with cords. This bein^ done, heseated himself, and in spite of the trails of Jack Ketch and of the Hhorills to accompany them in the procession to the acailold, he remained sullenly on tho bench where he hail taken tip his position. "Come," at last urged tho hangman, "the Iimo is arrived."

Hut (he Irishman would not move. The ollleers are waiting for you," Haiti the sherill. "Can any thing be done for you," before you quit this world?

No answer

returned. Jack Ketch

grew surly. If you won't go, I must carry you," he said.

Then you may," saitl tho prisoner, "for I'll not walk." Why not?" inquired sheriff".

I'll not be instrumental to my own tleath," answered the prisoner. "What do you mean?" asked the ordinary. "What do I mane?" retorted the hapless man "I mane that I'll not walk to my own dest ruction."

And in this determination he persisted, and was carried to the scaOold, where he was turned otV, refusing to do anything which might be construed into "his Ixdag a party to his own death."

.Y0 I.O VE FOli SCIENCE. Si r. Abraham Pop, ofSnobville, is not as earnest an advocate of the devotion of women to the study of medicine as he was, lH»eause ho married a fair young thing whose enthusiasm for Science few entirely too Intense. Mr. Pop wou\d ofton He down on the sofh in tho evening to take nap, and, whenever ho did, uo never awoke until after midnight, untl there was always a heavy finding almut his head and a queer smell of drugs in the room. Mr. Pop suspected something wrong, and so one night ho engaged his brother to hide in a closet in the room while he took his nap on thneoftt. Mrs. Pop pretended to have vie" fVom the a "sowing-oirvl church at ing. wero In the j»arlor when Pop fell as-

tho house that evening, and the ladies trior ing th« indignation, tn

l»

leep in the sitting room. What was th« indignation, tnen, of Pop's brother when ho observed Mrs. I1. softly stealing up stairs with tho "sowing circle" following her noisckwslv in single file How much greater was Ills rage when the faithful witt» put chloroform to her IiuhImuhPsI uose, ami, addressing the class for those sewers were mere medical students in disguise), proceeded to fasten a galvanic battery tooneof Pop's toes, so that she might make old l'op wripgle, and show to tho class the efleet of the lvattery on the nervous system! Just as she was about to open a veiu in Pop's arm, so as to teach tho class the proper method of vacination, that indignant hmther emerged, and endeavored to prove to the class that he could violate the Third Commandment more times in a minute then anv other man in the State of Delaware When the chloroformed Pop revived, he joined in the chorns and Mrs, Pop and the class cried, and said they were brute* and had no love for Scieucel Mr. Pop said that as for hiiuaelf, "duru Science," when A woman got Infatuated enough to chop Iter husband up to help it along.

Aiitssima has another Negus. It Isn't good to drink, being a heathen that has usurped the empire of Theodoras, and calls himself by that title*

THE WINDS IN CO LOR A DO. The reason given by Dr. Latham for the warn, weather of this section in Winter seems correct that is, the com ing of the trade wiuda from the Pacific. Last Thursday, tho wind came from tho West, when tne snow and ice begun to melt rapidly, while tho weather became as warm oa in September. Although wind from the Pacific crosses vast ranges of snowv mountains, it probably makes the distance within twenty-four hours, a time too brief for it to become cold, particularly as it is followed by vast supplies of heated air. In passing onward, it mingles with the largo amount of cold air over tho plains derived from the north und northeast hence it nevor reaches the State. Our cold winds come out of tho Mackenzie rivor and Hudson Hay regions, but dur ing most of tho Winter, they aro not suthcently powerful to overcome tho immense volumes sent by the trade winds, from the Pacific, which follsw ocean currents the same as warm airs follow the gulf stream in the Atlantic, and temper the climate of tho British Islands. We can see now why tho climate of California, in the samo latitude, is so warm.

Between Colorado and tho Union Pacific, a distance of 850 miles, a series of climatic gradations is presented, wartper ones appearing with oach move westward. Often, however, tho volume of warm air is great that all lines are obliterated, and, while tho people of the States aro frozen and snow-bound, wo luxuriate in the so.t, warm atmosphere Ioure«i in upon us from tho equator and the East Indies, and from which the mountains wring all tho moisture.— Greeley (Ool.) Tribune.

Tiik Lowest Typk ok Humanity.— On the Island of Korueo, there has been found a certain race of wild creatures, of which kindred varieties have been discovered in tho Philippine islands, in Terra del Fuego, and in South America. They walk, usually, almost erect on two legs, and in that attitude measure about four feet in length. They aro dark, wrinkled, and hairy. They construct no habitation, form no families, are scarcely associated together, sleep in caves or trees, feed on snakes and vermin, on ants' eggs, on mice, and on each other. They cannot be tamed or forced to any labor, and are hunted and shot unongthe trees liko tho great gorilla, of which they aro a stunted copy. When they are captured alive, one finds with surprise that their uncouth jabberings sound like articulate language. They turn up a human faco to ga/.o at their captor, and females show instincts of modosty and, in fine, these wrctched beings aro men.

Thk Meankst Ykt.—There is a man in Decorah, Iowa, so penurious, that when shelling corn, a kernel flew into woodpile, and ho removed several cords of wood to find it. A neighbor, standing near, dropped a kernel near where tne searcher was looking, but when he found it ho said: "You can't fool me with that small kernel the one I lost was a largo one."
