Recorder Smyth, in pronouncing sentence, said that McQuade had been fairly and justly convicted. He had violated public trust and public duty, and deserved the punishment meted out to him.

This morning, however, a party of one hundred and twenty-five men surrounded the Carnesville jail, battered down the door, and took Sanders to a coj mnient tree in sight and swung him up. It has developed since that Mrs Rachael Baty was an accomplice in the crime, and that it was the design of herself and Sanchis to get married with the money thus gained.

fears that she will be taken out to-night and lynched by the same parties.” WASHKKCiTOxI.

In New York City fifteen failures were reported, only two of which were of consequence. Michael Davitt, who passed through Chicago the other day, said that lio was not at all alarmed at the condition of affairs in Ireland. The arrests were made simply to show an apparent need for further legislation, and the indications were that the Tory leaders would not make another attempt at coercion. Both the League and Ireland were quite prepared for the struggle, and he firmly believed that English, Scotch, and Welsh popular feeling would be with the Irish and against the course of action of the Tories.

They are now 1 asti’y disowning all responsibility for the "plan of campaign.” Mr. Gladstone’s friends were just in time to extract from him, before the court spoke, a general declaration against the illegal combination. The Tall Mall Gazette is about the only English paper which defends ihe “plan,” and its defense is claimed to be more damaging than the other’s attacks. John Fitzgerald, President of the Irish National League, urges that IrishAmericans hold meetings to protest against the eviction and coercion policy of the Tory Government in Ireland. . . .

While I write, a small marmoset monkey—length about six inches —disports himself freely in a sumach tree near to a sunny wall in our garden, amusing himself with catching newly Hedged moths, small sjiiders. or any other specimens of the insect tribe that may come in his way. This season these are curiously few and far between, and he will, “faule de mieux,” even eat earwigs, or, as Lord Tennyson’s North Country “Spinster” calls them, “battletwigs.” (^nery, which is the more correct term of the two. or the least incorrect ? Seeing that Marmie fi. ds nothing more of an edible kind, I offer him a fresh-gathered pea-pod, and he eagerly gnaws the end, inserts a tiny hand, and helps himself to one pea after another, devouring it with avidity, all but the skin, which he wisely rejects as tough and indigestible. These little monkeys are very nice in their food —as particular as any epicure in their < hoice of kind and condition. Everything they take must be of the freshest and best. Only the ripest and sweetest fruit, only the cream off the milk, only the purest water, only live insects, will suit Marmie. His infinite delight in being in the open air is quite beyond description. He will climb up or down stairs to get at me, in the hope of inducing me to take him into the garden. If shut up in his cage he will cry like a child, with the same object in view: and to drive out in a <arriage is as great a pleasure to him as to any child. He will Icok from the window all the time, and the little head works this way and that, the bright eyes taking in all the surroundings. Anything that attracts his special notice—a red parasol, a white horse, a bright-colored van, a child with a skipping rope—is greeted with a vivacious: “Chip, chip!” and an upward look for sympathy at each passing excitement. There is, perhaps, no other garden in England around the paths of which a little marmoset has daily g. mboled dur ng the late warm summer weather, finding its meals al fresco, in the shape of small snails and slug’, spiders, caterpillars and beetles. He is very fond of tho woodlouse, too (“cheeselog,” an old servant calls them , which is fortunate, since it may be found in the absence of al! else. One is usually taught to suppose that these little delicate pets must be fed on bread and milk (which they appear to hate, or at least only take when driven to it by sheer hunger), and kept in close confinement in a warm room, or a greenhouse at most, lint certainly where it is possible to let them enjoy the fresh open air in warm weather, with a natural diet o insects, if apparently suits them, and gives them a sen-e of enjoyment of life which is the nearest approach to tlu ir happy existence in the r native wild, beautiful woods of Frazil that we can give them. —I. o n i toii S] ।co 'a tor.

It was notable for its cool accommodations. The weather was very warm, and a cool spot as well as a cool fatherland’s draught was not to he despised. As they entered they were confronted by some Andalusian peasants in their picturesque costume. They had evidently come in to the celebration o s mo patron saint’s festival, and wished to gratify their curiosity with regard to the new strai go drink styled “cerveza.” Two bottles insecurely corked were brought, a large and a small one, also a soup-dish, into xv’nch Laboi se poured the contents of the larger, which had a beer-like color. The contents of the smaller bottle followed, the fluid being of a pale, lemonade color. Laboisse stirred up the mixture before him with as much solicitude as though concocting a pineapple punch. This was the custom of the country. The beverage, which savored more of fiat lemonade than of Leer, was then drank out of small glasses.— Breicera’ Gua. dian. Mn. Ed B.

It may not be out of place to remark that here we met Mrs. Grant Stephens, of Morris, and learned of her singular recovery from consumption by means of what she reverently called “God’s Broom,” which is simply the extension of both arms upward during the inflation of the lungs, and dropping them to the side during the expulsion of the air. The difficulty with those with lung diseases and sunken chests is that they do not get air enough, and we doubt not many would be saved from premature graves by the above process. Airs.
