Law a Hundred Years Ago.
The Albany Law Journal find in
Hall's history of Eastern Vermont some
account of the laws which were in f orce
a hundred years ago.
"Burglary was punished by brand
ing with a B on the forehead, and nail
ing one of the offender's ears to a post
and cutting it off, and whipping; for the
second offence there was the like brand
ing, and nailing, and cutting off of the
other ear; for the third offence the pun
ishment was death, the offender being
deemed 'incorrigible.' Counterfeiting
was punished by cutting off the right
ear, branding with C, and perpetual im
prisonment. Perjury was punished by
a fine of 50 and imprisonment for six
months, but if the offender could not
pay the fine he was let off by sitting in
the pillory t wo hours, and having botk
ears nailed and cut off. Willful lying,
to public prejudice or private injury, or
deceiving or abusing the people with
false news or reports, was punished by
fine, sitting in the stocks and whipping,
the punishment being increased with
each repetition of the offence, except
that in no case wa3 the number of
stripes to exceed the number of thirty
nine. Theft was punished by compel
ling threefold restitution, by fine and by
a sort of temporary slavery, the prose
cutor being empowered to dispose of
any offender in service to any subject of
the state for such time as he should be
assigned to the prosecutor by the court.
Unreasonable night walking, that is to
say after nine o'clock, was prohibited, as
was also the convening of persons under
the government of parents, guardians or
masters after that untimely hour. Tav
ern haunters were published by posting
their names at the door of evry tavern
prohibiting the tavern-keeper from sup
plying them with anything in the way
of strong drink. No clamorous dis
course, shouting, hallooing, screaming
running, riding, dancing, jumping,
swimming or blowing of horns was tol
erated on the Lord's day. Listening
outside of a meeting houso during the
time of public worship was not permit
ted. Secular meetings of any number
of persons in the street or elsewhere on
Saturday or Monday evening were for
bidden under penalty of a fine or the
stocks.
Mr. Hall gives several notable in
stances of popular legal errors prevailing
in ermont. One notion was that if
the friends of one dyinj? in prison oar
ried his remains beyond the boundaries
of the jail yard, they were accomplices
of an 'escape,' and liable to satisfy the
judgment by virtue of which he had
been confined. Another notion was that
if one should bury the body of an unim
prisoned debtor he thereby became ad
ministrator in his own wrong, and liable
to discharge the debtor's obligations. In
the case of Judge Chandler, who died
while confined m jail for debt, his in
terment became a serious problem. In
this predicament the jailor discovered
that by stretching the chain he could in
elude within the jail liberties a small
portion of the adjoining burying-
ground. A grave was dug, commencing
just outside the graveyard fence and
just within the jail -yard, sloping under
the fence, until a sufficiant depth and
obliquity was obtained. So Judge
Chandler was buried after a Christian
fashion, and yet no 'escape' was suffer
ed.''
How the French Workman Lives.-
The French laborer probably gets more
for his wages than any other. His food
is cheaper and more nourishing. His
bouillion is the liquid essence of beef at
a penny per bowl. His bread at the
restaurants is thrown in without any
charge, and is the best bread in the
world. His hot coffee and milk is ped
dled about tho streets in the morning at
a sou per cup. It is coffee, not slops
His half bottle of claret is thrown in at
a meal costing twelve cents. For a few
cents he may enjoy an evening's amuse
ment at one of the many minor theaters,
with his coffee free. Sixpence pays for
a nicely cushioned seat at the theater
JNo gallery gods, no peanuts, pipe,
smoke, drunkenness, yelling or howl
ing. The Jarin de3 Planters, the vast gal
leries and tho museums of the Louvre,
Hotel Cluny, palace of the Luxembourg
and Versailles are free for him to enter.
Art and science hold out to him their
choicest treasures at email cost, or no
cost at all. French economy and fru
gality do not mean that constant re
trenchment and self-denial which would
deprive life of everything which makea
it worth living for. Economy in France,
mora than in any other country, means
a utilization of what America throws
away, but it does not mean a pinching
process of reducing life to a barren ex
istence of work and bread and water.
Habits op Disrespect in the Fam
ily. One of the dangers of home life
is this habit of disrespect that which is
bred by familiarity. People who are all
beauty and sunshine for a crowd of
strangers, for whom they have not the
slightest affection, and all ugliness and
gloom for their own, by whose love they
live. The pleasant little prettiness of
dress and personal adornment whioh
mark the desire to please, are put on
purely for the admiration of those whose
admiration goes for nothing, while the
house companions are treated only to
the ragged gowns and threadbare coat,
the tousled hair and stubby beard,
whioh, if marking the ease and comfort,
or the sans aeon of home, mark also the
indifference and disrespect that do so
muoh damage to the sweetness and del
icacy of daily life. And what is true of
the dress is still truer of the mannert
and tempers of home, in both of which
we often find too, that want of respect
which leems to run side by side with
affection in the custom of familiarity.
It ia a regretable habit under any of its
conditions, but never more so than when
it invades the homo and endangers still
more that which is already too much
endangered by other things. Parents
and bringcrs-up do not pay enough at
tention to this in the young. They al
low habits of disrespect to be formed
rude, rough, insolent and impatient, and
salve over the sore with the stereotyped
excuse, "They mean nothing by it,"
which, if they look at it aright, is worse
than no excuse at all, for if they really de
mean nothing by it, and their disrespect
is not what it seems to be, the result of
strong anger or uncoutrolable temper,
but is merely a habit, then it ought to
be conquered without the loss of time,
being merely a manner that hurls all
parties alike.

Old Rivers Utilized.
Running water leaves on the earth's
crust marks as permanent as any of the
violent convulsions of Mature. The dis
covery has lately been made in Austra
lia that the streams of the Tertiary pe
riod, probably many years ago, but now
dried, up, are vast storehouses of wealth.
They are carefully searched out and
worked for tin. They acted precisely
in the same way as the river3 of our own
day, washing away the lighter rock, aad
leaving a concentration of the heavy
ore in the channels. They vary consid
erably in depth, according to the re
moteness of their origin. In one of
them a shaft has been sunk to GO feet,
and at that depth the ground is a regu
lar river bed, with, in some places, a
collection of loose drift sand, heavily
intermixed with tin-ore. It has been
opened, at that depth, to the distance,
horizontally, of 3,000 feet, and exploted
by boring from the surface for GOO feet
more. The width of the seam has in
creased from 18 to 400 feet, and it con
tain s an average of three feet of what
the miners call "pay dirV that is to
say, soil worth working, for it yields
about yt per cent, of metal, an excel
lent produce for tin-ore. Some of these
deposits are discovered at only a few
feet from the surface, a fact which shows
that they are of much later date than
the one referred to above, but still of
immeasurable antiquity. The state of
the earth also shows that these later
rivers were not in action for very long
periods, as the ore has been far less
washed. Twenty-five of these tin mines
have already been found, and although
the difficulty attending all new enter
prises has retarded their development,
yet within two years they have pro
duced 2,050 tons of ore, worth about
31,000,000.
A Kentucky Love Story. A very
sweet story of love comes from Cincin
nati, whence very few sweet things ever
come, and probably we never should have
had this enchanting tale had not the hero
and the heroine been imported for the
occasion from Kentucky, a State whioh
is abandoned to the raising of heroes and
Democratic majorities, and heroines,
and superior whisky. Professor Pie
has taught school across the river from
. Cincinnati for many years, and devoted
his evenings, amd Saturdays and Sun
days, and much other time, to Huldah,
who was a schoolmarm, and this pleas
ant thing went on till the Professor was
50 and Huldah was 45. After 10 or 11
years, Huldah's folks, beginning to
think they were going to altogether too
much expense for firewood and coal oil,
and extra dinners for the Professor, and
feeling that there never would be any
wedding after all, began to tell naughty
stories about tho Professor. This made
Huldah cry and love him the more, and
the strategy failing, ho climbed in the
jiarlor windows, and the boys pounded
him with fenco-boards as ho went
through. And then they fired blank
cartridges at him in the still darkness
of the night, and finally loaded their
guns with beans and afterward with
bird-shot. The Professor endured thie
exciting amusement a few weeks,
and then got mad, stole Huldah out of
the house, ran away with her to Cincin
nati, and they were married ! Young
Kentucky strategy has succeeded, with
the invaluable aid of fence-boards and
shotguns, in bringing a prolonged and
weary courtship to a happy termina
tion. Tho Professor was forgiven and
invited back with his bride. The affair
was a little navel and sensational even
for Kentucky, but, in 82itc of its pro
nounced success, it would hardly be
desirable, perhaps, for every lady with
a hesitating lover to start out a lot of
untamed nephews on the war-jmth with
shotguns and fence-boards: t-primj field

cases of charity, where both men and we-

assisted; if there should not be enough
for both, the men should cheerfully re
linquish their claims. Rabbi said,

Marriage and its Effect on Lon

Old maids and bachelors, it says, rare
ly attain to extreme old age, and then
it tells of people living to extraordinary
ages by wedding a dozen times or so,
while Jacob Jay of Bordeaux died in
1772, at the age of 101 years, having laid
seventeen wives in the grave, and Mar
garet McDowall, a Scotch-woman, died
in 1765 at the age of 105, having wept
at the untimely demise of thirteen men
whose names she had borne in rotation.
Thus far ffie Review does not put a very
extraordinary tax upon one's capacity
for bolting a tough morsel, but the strain
is rather severe when it goes on to
speak of a pair named Rovin, who died in
Hungary in 1741, the man aged 107 and
toe woman 1G1, leaving a tender youth
116 years old to bewail his orphanage
and reflect on the'strength of that tie
which held his parents together far 148
years.

HourUblnS Blood.
The blood imparts to the body the
elements which are essential to iti existence.
When these are in sufficiently supplied, its ener
gies begin to flag, there is a los-s of nesh, the
muscles grow flaccid, the reflective powers loso
vigor every function is disturbed, every organ
weakened. Under these circumstances it is ob
vious that the constitution must soon give way
unless the vital fluid is enricked. To accom
plish this object, recourse should be had without
delay to that grand fertilizer of the blood, Hos
teter's Stomach Bitters, which promotes aasim
iltation of the food and is the means of render
ing the circulation rich and active. The good
effects of the great tonic are speedily apparent
in a gain of bodily vigor and mental energy. A
regular action of the various organs also result
from its use, the good work of bodily reform
goes rapidly on, and eventually health is es
ablishod upon a sure basis.

Dr. Lewis A. Sayre, of New York, says lie is In
the habit of applying Dr. Marsh's Patent Truss to
the exclusion of all others, and in an experience of
lii years found in a majority of cases a radical cure
of Rupture was effected in a very few months. His
letter given below is siillU-ieii t authority to convince
the Ruptured of the superior qualities of DR.
MARSH'S CURATIVE TRUSSES, they having a
reputation of nearly !A) years and attained such a
degree of perfection that the principal physicians
of this city recommend them in preference to other
makes. Read tbe following :
No. 75S Bkoaimvay, Nkw Yokk.
I have been in the hubttot applying and recom
mending the Truss manufactured by Dr. S. N.
Marsh for the last eighteen years, to the exclusion
of all others, and have found it to give general sat
isfaction, effecting a radical cure, in the majority of
cases in a very few months. Asa Truss for the rwl
iral cure of Hernia, I think it far preferable to any
I have ever examined.
