A Sierra City dispatch of Saturday said: Fires are still raging, and every available manjin town is out fighting the flames. ‘The utmost exertion is necessury to keep them from destroying the Sierra Buttes property and possibly entering the town. The remains of one man were found this morning burned to acrisp. A grand, yet awful, sight was+se2n last night. Mountains of fire were blazing ,on all sides. Tlie fire is going ig.a northerly direction and fears are exptessdd® for the Young America Mining Company. None can prédict where it will end There is great excitement.”’ : A later dispatch from Sierra City says; ‘‘The mountain fire is now un der control, sofar as the town and surrounding property are concerned. Two hundred strong men fought the flames’all day long. No further casaalities are reported. The fire is headed for Plumas county.”’ The Sierra City Tribune of Friday had the following: “Last Saturday two wagon loads of Sierra Valley people—their names we do not know— came over to Sierra City and went below town about three miles and camped near Fornier’s ranch. The object --of their journey was to pick wild plums which grow in abundance around here. The party built large bon-fires both Saturday ‘and Sunday nights, and through vothing but pure carelessness they bad the woods around them all ablaze Monday forenoon. As soon as the campers saw what they had done they immediately took their departure for home, not tmhaking the least. effort to check the flames. The fire. raged over a large scope of country on Monday and Tuesday, destroying much timber dnd wood. On Wednesday it had reached the vicinity of the Colombo mine, and it was with hard labor that a large number of men saved'the Colombo mill and mine from burning. The fire then began to run downward, and Wednesitay night a large crew of ~ men were fighting to keep the town of Loganville from being destroyed. The fire is stil! burning, but it is probably now undercontrol and not much further damage will be done.” Decadence of a Mining Camp. A gentleman. who was lately in Tuscarora informs a Virginia City Enterprise reporter that the town is being deserted by the minérs. They are leaving on horseback, muleback, . wagons, buckboards, stages and on foot. The weather being pleasant, ~ fit thana pair of blankets, some crackers and cheese, a plug of tobacco and . _. # bottle of Tusearora elixir. The Commonwealth mine closed down a few days ago, throwing 200 men out of employment in its mill and mine. A month ago there were 400 miners employed in the mines of Tuscarora, and to-day there are not 75. Sunday 25 men left the camp on horseback for the Idaho country, seven left in a private conveyance, two stages were loaded down to the guards and a number ‘‘hoofed’’ it out of town. 8 Motel Arrivals.

Indisputable Circumstantial Eviderice — an Awful Crime—Confession of sf. the Guilty One. Several old lawyers were sitting together the other day in a Brooklyn court-room relating reminiscences. of their practice: One of the stories told,as given in the Lrooklyn , Citizen, is worth repeating: “Some time ago, when I-was down in Georgia,” said an elderly lawyer, “a case came to my knowledge which presents many curious features. Mr. Cameron, @ gentleman Of means, resided with his daughter Helen inthe neighborhood of Columbus, in that State. His wife had been dead some years, and his only domes; tics were an elderly negress named Hannah and her son, a lad of eighteen, known as Jim. Two young men named Byson and Miller used to pay attentions to Helen, and it was not known that she had ever favored one more than the other. Mr. Cameron one morning rode over to a friend’s house, taking Jim with him: He’wasto remain over night and return th@ gext morning early. On reaching bome acgordingly, between . €ight and nine o’elock, be found all quiet around the house. The front door was open, but neither Helen nor Hannah was seen. Mr. Cameron went to his daughter's room and knocked, but there was no response. Finding that the~door was not fastened, he went into the room. His daughter was lying in bed, dead. A bottle, which had evidently contained chloroform, Was standing on a chair by the bedside. A towel-almost covered the dead_girl’s face. The premises were searched, but nothing could be seen of Hannah. “ The authorities were notified and ‘a group of men who weré examining the grounds around the house came across the dead body of anegro. The negro had been shot vital part. The body was discovered not over a hundred yards from the dwelling, lying in an orchard near a rustic seat. Jna shorttime the secret of Hannah's absence was explained. About 9:30 o'clock the previous evening she went to the house of a neighbor. She told a friend-that Mr. Cameron was away and only Miss Helen at home, and that as some gentleman, she didn’t know who, had called to: visit the young lady, she thought she would venture away for a few minutes to have a chat. After staying. perhaps fifteen minutes she left. In a short time her friends heard a noise at the door, and, on opening it, found Hannah lying‘ outside, apparently dead. They carried her into the house, and she had continued unconscjous ever since. I may as well say that a doctor was procured who prononnced Hannah to be suffering from brain fever. That turhed out to be the case; the unforturate woman remained in a helpless condition, physically and mentally, for several weeks. s 5 ‘As a bottle of chloroform was found near Helen, so a revolver was found in the right hand of the negro, and theinference in eaeh ease was suicide. It was a remarkable double tragedy, but as there was not @ jot of évidence pointing to violence on the part of a third person, the only con¢lusion to be reached was that Helen and the negro had taken their own lives. At the end of a week, however, Mr. Byson appeared on the spot. He suid that he had been visiting at Atlanta and knew nothing of the double tragedy until his return. Then he said he had in his possession a letter which might throw some light gn the deathof MissCameron. Hedeposed that at about, a quarter to ten o’clock on the evening of tbe day on which Mr. Cameron left home he took a walk toward that gentleman’s'regidence. As he reached the crossroad, not far distafit, he saw by the moonlight a@ man approaching from the direction of the bouse, and recognized Miller. ‘Byson hid himself, and observed Miller as he passed throw something over the hedge. When Miller was far enough away Byson looked over the hedge and saw a small, white object lying upon the grass. He Gupbetwus7a'p.ece PE And er papery which on being opened proved to bea letter. He struck a match and saw that the letter rn 2 from Miss Cameron, inviting Miller to eail that evetiiny. — oun deposed that, finding that such a favor had been extended ° to Miller, he did not’ call at Mr. Caimerva's house as he had intended to do. ‘Miller was arrested and admitted having received the letter and having called on Miss Cameron as it requested him, but he said that at ten o’clock he left the house, as Miss Cameron had been up very early that . morning and was tired. It was proved, . however, that he had bought chloroform’ a . few days before at a druggist’s store in ; Columbus and in the very bottle found by apon it of another drug-store over which the druggist had pasted his own name. The druggist remembered this fact distinctly and also that the word ‘chloroform’ was written in blueink and spelt without the th.’ On the removal of the outside label in court the other label was found and was exactlyas the druggist had described it. Miller admitted having bought the chloreform, but said he had got it for Miss Cameron, who used it to take out stains from silk. wn“Miller was held-for the grand jury, ‘and, as the delays in justice down there are net . Many or long, he was brought to trial within a month of the alleged crime. On the . very first day of the trial, however, the 'negress Hannah showed remarkabe signs of improvement, and began to give utterance to expressions which induced her friends, with whom she had remained, 'te send for Mr. Cameron, who took along with him a friend. It had always been supposed that, on returning home on the fatal night, Hannah had found her young mistress dead and had at once rushed back to her friend’s house to give the alarm; but that the terrible discovery had given her such a shock as to affect her. brain and -bring on the attack of fever, which had so nearly proved fatal. Her disclosures, on recovering Ger Tacllties, Showed a different state of things. } f “She said that, as she returned home, and when she had reached the side of the house, intending to enter by the rear, she Saw an unknown negro standing a little away from the open window of Miss Cameron’s bedroom, which was on the first floor. The next moment the negro started as though frightened, and immediately a white man appeared at the window, sprang out, grasping a revolver, and followed the negro, who fled toward thé rear of the dwelling. The man fired and the negro ; gave a shriek. “She was terror-stricken, and instantly started back for her friends’ house. She remembered seeing the light in the window, and then she. lost conscioushess. The man whom she saw leap through the window, grasping a revolver, and who started in pursuit of the negro was Mr. Byson. She had no doubt about it whatever, and could not have been mistaken, as the moon was shining full upon him and she knew him well. 4 “The trial of Miller was stopped and By-’ son was arrested. The revolver found in the hand of the dead negro was brought forward and traced to the possession of Byson. Of course, you may easily guess the end. Miller's trial was postponed and Byson was indicted and tried and convicted of the killing of the negro, but up to this time no light was thrown upen the mystery surrounding the death of Miss Cameron, though it was believed. that Byson's presence in her room on'the night of the shooting of the negro had something to do with it.” “When Byson found that his fate was certain he made a confession, of whieh the following is the substance: ‘My one idea was vengeance, butI hadn't made op my mind what shape it should take. As] Wher. she was a Child, 3 5 ae She eried for Castaria. ‘When she became Miss, She clung to Castoria » looked around the room I saw'a letter bearing Miller’s address on the dressing table andi put it in my pocket. Next I sew a bottle of chloroform; and a horrible suggestion presented itself. I laid down the lamp, took the bottle of chloroform and saturated 4 towel with the liguid. Then I placed it to the nose.and mouthof Miss Cameron. She How an Innocent Man Was Cleared of . sin the side, the ball having penetrated a. Miss Cameron’s bedside, for it had a labelAt this momenf1 Heard a sound as of one gasping, and, glancing to the window, which was open, saw outside a negro watching me with dilated eyes. I felt at once I was in this man’s power. Drawing my revolver, I sprang out of the window. The negro fled and I)pursued. As he turned” round toward the orchard I Gred.' He gave @ scream, but still fled. I pursued him in the orchard and saw him fall. I stood over him until I was sure he was dead and then placed the pistol in his hand to induce the belief that he committed suicide. . I started early the next morning for Atlanta. On my way I remembered the letter found in Miss Cameron's room and read it. It was the one produced against Miller as evidence. Miss Cameron had no doubt asked him -to return it, withthe intention of destroying it, so that it might not compromise her.’ “Byson was hanged. He was a clever felow, a good naturalist, and possessed of much scientific knowledge. He had led a. roving life and was utterly unprincipled. ‘That is my story. I helped to defend the man, but I saw it was a bad case from the outset. The murdered negro was never identified.” —The second period of the éarth’s existence, which is to end with the going out of the sun’s light, will terminate in about thirteen million years. We ‘speak of this matter in time so that our friends may get in their hay. ABOUT MISQUOTATIONS. Learned Men as Well as Common Peopte Guilty of Inaccuracies. The ever-fruitful subject of misquotations is just now receiving a great amount of attention, says the Boston Advertiser. Magazines, daily and weekly newspapers and college professors are, with one accord, pointing out the number and Variety.of iistances where familiar words are ascribed to the wrong authors, or quoted with greater or less variation from the original form, or made to express ideas widely different from the meaning ascribed to them in the first place. “The literature of the subject fis already very voluminous, and when researches now taking place have been completed, promises to become yet greater. lt is alleged that the taint of inaccuracy attaches to a very large portion of all ouf ordinary citations, and that, strange to say, the most learned men and the most eminent authors are equally guilty in this niatter withthe common people. This whole subject calls for a more philosophical treat ment than has as yet been given to it. Nothing seems to have been attempted thus far, except to collect instances of misquotdtion and then to exclaim upon the shocking carelessness or ignorance which they imply. Yet it may well excite wonder that the very facts brought to light have ere this suggested the query whether some deeper insight can not be obtained into the cause. ~-* One of the most remarkable cases of change in an author’s meaning is that first pointed out by Mr. R. G. White, who stows, what ought to be plain as day to. the dullest reader of Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida, that the words ®6f that play, where Wysses says to Achilles: “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin,” are spoken, not of man’s nobler but of his baser nature. As used all the world over by all sorts and conditions of men, this sentiment is made to imply human brotherhood. If Mr. White had looked more deeply, he would have seen that Shakespeare’s meaning here has thus not been so much perverted as extended, The wise and keen-witted Ulysses lays down a broad principle and proceeds to applyit in a particular way. Mankind has accepted the principle, but with another larger and loftier application. It is as if the moral instinct of humanity had said: ‘Yes, one touch of nature does make the whole world kin in meaning, but it likewise makes it kin in maguanimity.” The same kind of re mark applies to the lines ip. Milton's Lycidas: = ; And every shepherd tells his tale Under the hawthorn in the vale. The critics are in great glee because they can prove that whatthe blind bard had in mind was not Corydon telling a tale of love to Phyllis, but the far less romantic proceeding of counting the sheep! But how do the crities know that the shepherd diii nat mAKEAATS 44.WelL ag. Pouot sheep. pRder in favor of the more pleasing supposition? Here, again, the alleged misquotation would appear to be only an enlarged application. And it may be said in general that whereever any utterance, in pri ‘or verse, has found its way to the h and lips of mankind, and in the process has acquired a different significence from that originally given, the new meaning is somehow better adapted to human nature’s needs than the old. ’ _Even in the case of a real misquotation, a similar reason is often discoverable, although-such @rrors are tovbe regretted and avoided. Every body repeats, upon occasion, the lines: Mee ; He that fights and runs awey 3 May live to fight another day. and almost every body, with any pretensions to titerary, knowledge, attributes them to Butier’s “‘Hudibras.”’ Goldsmith did so. These lines are not tobe found in Butler; but the same idea, much more clumsily expressed, has been traced to that source. The most probable ‘explanation is that Goldsmith, quoting from memory, unconSciously translated Batier into Goldsmith's more felicitous verse. S, Fully three-fourths of the instances furnished in any collection of misquotations will be found to relate to the Bible or Shakespeare. In regard to the ‘former, a curious observation may be made. It is a fact, perfectly well known: to ali educated clergymen, that the New Testament abounds in quotations from the Old Testament, and that they are very rarely accurate, if accuracy means verbal identity. The most usual explanation, and one entirely acceptable to many tieologians of strictest orthodoxy, is that exactness of phrase not being needéd or intended, the inspired writers of the New Testement gave, in any particular instance, either the language of the popular Septuagint translation—often, as every scholar is ‘aware, exceedingly faulty—or the form of words lodged in the writer’s memory, or a free rendering deemed to express the thought better than the original’ _ 3 Those who think this explanation satisfactory should not—but some of them do —complain that editors of what has been aptly called “our uninspired Bible,” Shakespeare, depart. occasionally ftom their great author's ‘very words, when modern words will reveal the thought which archaic words conceal. A great outcry is raised because, on the monument to Shakespeare in Westminster Abbey, where the splendid passage from the Tempest beginning: “And like the baseléss fabric of this vision,’ is engraved, the word “wreck” is substituted for “rack”? in the last line. It is, however, just possible that the authority which supervised the inscription is entitled to as much confidence as the fault-finders., “The subject of Christian hymns holds a prominent place in all these discussions. It is certain that many of the most familiar of our social lyrics appear in the hymn books and are constantly sung with important deviations from the forms in which they were composed. Of late several compilations of sacred poetry have been published, of which the special merit claimed is that every hymn is given @s the author wrote it. But there are two sides to this question, as to most questions. There are numerous instances where the consensus of the Christian world has decreed alterations that are indisputable improvements. Perhaps the most precious Ae ay 3 of the:church is Toplady's “Rock ‘of Ages.” . He is said to _ written the second line of the fourth stanza: When my eyestrings crack in death.

The United States Government Chemists, in their examinations of articles of food offered for Government use, have developed the fact that almost all the baking powders upon the market are made from alum or phosphates, or contain large quantities of lime or other adulterants. As a matter of fact, of the samples analyzed, the Royal was the only baking powder found free from all of these deleterious ingredients, Alum is used as a substitute for cream of ‘tartar to produce a cheap baking powder. the system has been ascertained to be poisonous, and overdoses have been attended with fatal results. The phosphate are next to the alum powders in cheapness. They contain a large amount of lime. The baking powders sold with a gift are-o: the alum or phosphate class, ‘ _ Lime when subjected to heat gives off a certain amount ot earljenic acid gas, but a quicklime is left, one of the most powerful caustics known. Chemists have found twelve per cent., or one-eighth of the weight, of some of the baking powders advertised as pure to be lime. The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal Baking Powder—now affirmed by every chemist and food analyst ef prominence, and conceded by all manufacturers of other beands—arise from the exclusive use of cream of tartas which is specially. refined by patent processes that totally remove the lime and all other impurities, In his report, the United States Government Chemist says: ‘The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for I have sofound it in many tests made for the United States Government.

A Sierra City dispatch of Saturday said: Fires are still raging, and every available manjin town is out fighting the flames. ‘The utmost exertion is necessury to keep them from destroying the Sierra Buttes property and possibly entering the town. The remains of one man were found this morning burned to acrisp. A grand, yet awful, sight was+se2n last night. Mountains of fire were blazing ,on all sides. Tlie fire is going ig.a northerly direction and fears are exptessdd® for the Young America Mining Company. None can prédict where it will end There is great excitement.”’ : A later dispatch from Sierra City says; ‘‘The mountain fire is now un der control, sofar as the town and surrounding property are concerned. Two hundred strong men fought the flames’all day long. No further casaalities are reported. The fire is headed for Plumas county.”’ The Sierra City Tribune of Friday had the following: “Last Saturday two wagon loads of Sierra Valley people—their names we do not know— came over to Sierra City and went below town about three miles and camped near Fornier’s ranch. The object --of their journey was to pick wild plums which grow in abundance around here. The party built large bon-fires both Saturday ‘and Sunday nights, and through vothing but pure carelessness they bad the woods around them all ablaze Monday forenoon. As soon as the campers saw what they had done they immediately took their departure for home, not tmhaking the least. effort to check the flames. The fire. raged over a large scope of country on Monday and Tuesday, destroying much timber dnd wood. On Wednesday it had reached the vicinity of the Colombo mine, and it was with hard labor that a large number of men saved'the Colombo mill and mine from burning. The fire then began to run downward, and Wednesitay night a large crew of ~ men were fighting to keep the town of Loganville from being destroyed. The fire is stil! burning, but it is probably now undercontrol and not much further damage will be done.” Decadence of a Mining Camp.

Indisputable Circumstantial Eviderice — an Awful Crime—Confession of sf. the Guilty One. Several old lawyers were sitting together the other day in a Brooklyn court-room relating reminiscences. of their practice: One of the stories told,as given in the Lrooklyn , Citizen, is worth repeating: “Some time ago, when I-was down in Georgia,” said an elderly lawyer, “a case came to my knowledge which presents many curious features. Mr. Cameron, @ gentleman Of means, resided with his daughter Helen inthe neighborhood of Columbus, in that State. His wife had been dead some years, and his only domes; tics were an elderly negress named Hannah and her son, a lad of eighteen, known as Jim. Two young men named Byson and Miller used to pay attentions to Helen, and it was not known that she had ever favored one more than the other. Mr. Cameron one morning rode over to a friend’s house, taking Jim with him: He’wasto remain over night and return th@ gext morning early. On reaching bome acgordingly, between . €ight and nine o’elock, be found all quiet around the house. The front door was open, but neither Helen nor Hannah was seen. Mr. Cameron went to his daughter's room and knocked, but there was no response. Finding that the~door was not fastened, he went into the room. His daughter was lying in bed, dead. A bottle, which had evidently contained chloroform, Was standing on a chair by the bedside. A towel-almost covered the dead_girl’s face. The premises were searched, but nothing could be seen of Hannah. “ The authorities were notified and ‘a group of men who weré examining the grounds around the house came across the dead body of anegro. The negro had been shot vital part. The body was discovered not over a hundred yards from the dwelling, lying in an orchard near a rustic seat. Jna shorttime the secret of Hannah's absence was explained. About 9:30 o'clock the previous evening she went to the house of a neighbor. She told a friend-that Mr. Cameron was away and only Miss Helen at home, and that as some gentleman, she didn’t know who, had called to: visit the young lady, she thought she would venture away for a few minutes to have a chat. After staying. perhaps fifteen minutes she left. In a short time her friends heard a noise at the door, and, on opening it, found Hannah lying‘ outside, apparently dead. They carried her into the house, and she had continued unconscjous ever since. I may as well say that a doctor was procured who prononnced Hannah to be suffering from brain fever. That turhed out to be the case; the unforturate woman remained in a helpless condition, physically and mentally, for several weeks. s 5 ‘As a bottle of chloroform was found near Helen, so a revolver was found in the right hand of the negro, and theinference in eaeh ease was suicide. It was a remarkable double tragedy, but as there was not @ jot of évidence pointing to violence on the part of a third person, the only con¢lusion to be reached was that Helen and the negro had taken their own lives. At the end of a week, however, Mr. Byson appeared on the spot. He suid that he had been visiting at Atlanta and knew nothing of the double tragedy until his return. Then he said he had in his possession a letter which might throw some light gn the deathof MissCameron. Hedeposed that at about, a quarter to ten o’clock on the evening of tbe day on which Mr. Cameron left home he took a walk toward that gentleman’s'regidence. As he reached the crossroad, not far distafit, he saw by the moonlight a@ man approaching from the direction of the bouse, and recognized Miller. ‘Byson hid himself, and observed Miller as he passed throw something over the hedge. When Miller was far enough away Byson looked over the hedge and saw a small, white object lying upon the grass. He Gupbetwus7a'p.ece PE And er papery which on being opened proved to bea letter. He struck a match and saw that the letter rn 2 from Miss Cameron, inviting Miller to eail that evetiiny. — oun deposed that, finding that such a favor had been extended ° to Miller, he did not’ call at Mr. Caimerva's house as he had intended to do. ‘Miller was arrested and admitted having received the letter and having called on Miss Cameron as it requested him, but he said that at ten o’clock he left the house, as Miss Cameron had been up very early that . morning and was tired. It was proved, . however, that he had bought chloroform’ a . few days before at a druggist’s store in ; Columbus and in the very bottle found by apon it of another drug-store over which the druggist had pasted his own name. The druggist remembered this fact distinctly and also that the word ‘chloroform’ was written in blueink and spelt without the th.’ On the removal of the outside label in court the other label was found and was exactlyas the druggist had described it. Miller admitted having bought the chloreform, but said he had got it for Miss Cameron, who used it to take out stains from silk. wn“Miller was held-for the grand jury, ‘and, as the delays in justice down there are net . Many or long, he was brought to trial within a month of the alleged crime. On the . very first day of the trial, however, the 'negress Hannah showed remarkabe signs of improvement, and began to give utterance to expressions which induced her friends, with whom she had remained, 'te send for Mr. Cameron, who took along with him a friend. It had always been supposed that, on returning home on the fatal night, Hannah had found her young mistress dead and had at once rushed back to her friend’s house to give the alarm; but that the terrible discovery had given her such a shock as to affect her. brain and -bring on the attack of fever, which had so nearly proved fatal. Her disclosures, on recovering Ger Tacllties, Showed a different state of things. } f “She said that, as she returned home, and when she had reached the side of the house, intending to enter by the rear, she Saw an unknown negro standing a little away from the open window of Miss Cameron’s bedroom, which was on the first floor. The next moment the negro started as though frightened, and immediately a white man appeared at the window, sprang out, grasping a revolver, and followed the negro, who fled toward thé rear of the dwelling. The man fired and the negro ; gave a shriek. “She was terror-stricken, and instantly started back for her friends’ house. She remembered seeing the light in the window, and then she. lost conscioushess. The man whom she saw leap through the window, grasping a revolver, and who started in pursuit of the negro was Mr. Byson. She had no doubt about it whatever, and could not have been mistaken, as the moon was shining full upon him and she knew him well. 4 “The trial of Miller was stopped and By-’ son was arrested. The revolver found in the hand of the dead negro was brought forward and traced to the possession of Byson. Of course, you may easily guess the end. Miller's trial was postponed and Byson was indicted and tried and convicted of the killing of the negro, but up to this time no light was thrown upen the mystery surrounding the death of Miss Cameron, though it was believed. that Byson's presence in her room on'the night of the shooting of the negro had something to do with it.” “When Byson found that his fate was certain he made a confession, of whieh the following is the substance: ‘My one idea was vengeance, butI hadn't made op my mind what shape it should take. As] Wher. she was a Child, 3 5 ae She eried for Castaria. ‘When she became Miss, She clung to Castoria » looked around the room I saw'a letter bearing Miller’s address on the dressing table andi put it in my pocket. Next I sew a bottle of chloroform; and a horrible suggestion presented itself. I laid down the lamp, took the bottle of chloroform and saturated 4 towel with the liguid. Then I placed it to the nose.and mouthof Miss Cameron. She How an Innocent Man Was Cleared of . sin the side, the ball having penetrated a. Miss Cameron’s bedside, for it had a labelAt this momenf1 Heard a sound as of one gasping, and, glancing to the window, which was open, saw outside a negro watching me with dilated eyes. I felt at once I was in this man’s power. Drawing my revolver, I sprang out of the window. The negro fled and I)pursued. As he turned” round toward the orchard I Gred.' He gave @ scream, but still fled.. I pursued him in the orchard and saw him fall. I stood over him until I was sure he was dead and then placed the pistol in his hand to induce the belief that he committed suicide. . I started early the next morning for Atlanta. On my way I remembered the letter found in Miss Cameron's room and read it. It was the one produced against Miller as evidence. Miss Cameron had no doubt asked him -to return it, withthe intention of destroying it, so that it might not compromise her.’ “Byson was hanged. He was a clever felow, a good naturalist, and possessed of much scientific knowledge. He had led a. roving life and was utterly unprincipled. ‘That is my story. I helped to defend the man, but I saw it was a bad case from the outset. The murdered negro was never identified.” —The second period of the éarth’s existence, which is to end with the going out of the sun’s light, will terminate in about thirteen million years. We ‘speak of this matter in time so that our friends may get in their hay. ABOUT MISQUOTATIONS. Learned Men as Well as Common Peopte Guilty of Inaccuracies. The ever-fruitful subject of misquotations is just now receiving a great amount of attention, says the Boston Advertiser. Magazines, daily and weekly newspapers and college professors are, with one accord, pointing out the number and Variety.of iistances where familiar words are ascribed to the wrong authors, or quoted with greater or less variation from the original form, or made to express ideas widely different from the meaning ascribed to them in the first place. “The literature of the subject fis already very voluminous, and when researches now taking place have been completed, promises to become yet greater. lt is alleged that the taint of inaccuracy attaches to a very large portion of all ouf ordinary citations, and that, strange to say, the most learned men and the most eminent authors are equally guilty in this niatter withthe common people. This whole subject calls for a more philosophical treat ment than has as yet been given to it. Nothing seems to have been attempted thus far, except to collect instances of misquotdtion and then to exclaim upon the shocking carelessness or ignorance which they imply. Yet it may well excite wonder that the very facts brought to light have ere this suggested the query whether some deeper insight can not be obtained into the cause. ~-* One of the most remarkable cases of change in an author’s meaning is that first pointed out by Mr. R. G. White, who stows, what ought to be plain as day to. the dullest reader of Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida, that the words ®6f that play, where Wysses says to Achilles: “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin,” are spoken, not of man’s nobler but of his baser nature. As used all the world over by all sorts and conditions of men, this sentiment is made to imply human brotherhood. If Mr. White had looked more deeply, he would have seen that Shakespeare’s meaning here has thus not been so much perverted as extended, The wise and keen-witted Ulysses lays down a broad principle and proceeds to applyit in a particular way. Mankind has accepted the principle, but with another larger and loftier application. It is as if the moral instinct of humanity had said: ‘Yes, one touch of nature does make the whole world kin in meaning, but it likewise makes it kin in maguanimity.” The same kind of re mark applies to the lines ip.. Milton's Lycidas: = ; And every shepherd tells his tale Under the hawthorn in the vale. The critics are in great glee because they can prove that whatthe blind bard had in mind was not Corydon telling a tale of love to Phyllis, but the far less romantic proceeding of counting the sheep! But how do the crities know that the shepherd diii nat mAKEAATS 44.WelL ag. Pouot sheep. pRder in favor of the more pleasing supposition? Here, again, the alleged misquotation would appear to be only an enlarged application. And it may be said in general that whereever any utterance, in pri ‘or verse, has found its way to the h and lips of mankind, and in the process has acquired a different significence from that originally given, the new meaning is somehow better adapted to human nature’s needs than the old. ’ _Even in the case of a real misquotation, a similar reason is often discoverable, although-such @rrors are tovbe regretted and avoided. Every body repeats, upon occasion, the lines: Mee ; He that fights and runs awey 3 May live to fight another day. and almost every body, with any pretensions to titerary, knowledge, attributes them to Butier’s “‘Hudibras.”’ Goldsmith did so. These lines are not tobe found in Butler; but the same idea, much more clumsily expressed, has been traced to that source. The most probable ‘explanation is that Goldsmith, quoting from memory, unconSciously translated Batier into Goldsmith's more felicitous verse. S, Fully three-fourths of the instances furnished in any collection of misquotations will be found to relate to the Bible or Shakespeare. In regard to the ‘former, a curious observation may be made. It is a fact, perfectly well known: to ali educated clergymen, that the New Testament abounds in quotations from the Old Testament, and that they are very rarely accurate, if accuracy means verbal identity. The most usual explanation, and one entirely acceptable to many tieologians of strictest orthodoxy, is that exactness of phrase not being needéd or intended, the inspired writers of the New Testement gave, in any particular instance, either the language of the popular Septuagint translation—often, as every scholar is ‘aware, exceedingly faulty—or the form of words lodged in the writer’s memory, or a free rendering deemed to express the thought better than the original’ _ 3 Those who think this explanation satisfactory should not—but some of them do —complain that editors of what has been aptly called “our uninspired Bible,” Shakespeare, depart. occasionally ftom their great author's ‘very words, when modern words will reveal the thought which archaic words conceal. A great outcry is raised because, on the monument to Shakespeare in Westminster Abbey, where the splendid passage from the Tempest beginning: “And like the baseléss fabric of this vision,’ is engraved, the word “wreck” is substituted for “rack”? in the last line. It is, however, just possible that the authority which supervised the inscription is entitled to as much confidence as the fault-finders., “The subject of Christian hymns holds a prominent place in all these discussions. It is certain that many of the most familiar of our social lyrics appear in the hymn books and are constantly sung with important deviations from the forms in which they were composed. Of late several compilations of sacred poetry have been published, of which the special merit claimed is that every hymn is given @s the author wrote it. But there are two sides to this question, as to most questions. There are numerous instances where the consensus of the Christian world has decreed alterations that are indisputable improvements. Perhaps the most precious Ae ay 3 of the:church is Toplady's “Rock ‘of Ages.” . He is said to _ written the second line of the fourth stanza: When my eyestrings crack in death.

The United States Government Chemists, in their examinations of articles of food offered for Government use, have developed the fact that almost all the baking powders upon the market are made from alum or phosphates, or contain large quantities of lime or other adulterants. As a matter of fact, of the samples analyzed, the Royal was the only baking powder found free from all of these deleterious ingredients, Alum is used as a substitute for cream of ‘tartar to produce a cheap baking powder. the system has been ascertained to be poisonous, and overdoses have been attended with fatal results. The phosphate are next to the alum powders in cheapness. They contain a large amount of lime. The baking powders sold with a gift are-o: the alum or phosphate class, ‘ _ Lime when subjected to heat gives off a certain amount ot earljenic acid gas, but a quicklime is left, one of the most powerful caustics known. Chemists have found twelve per cent., or one-eighth of the weight, of some of the baking powders advertised as pure to be lime. The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal Baking Powder—now affirmed by every chemist and food analyst ef prominence, and conceded by all manufacturers of other beands—arise from the exclusive use of cream of tartas which is specially. refined by patent processes that totally remove the lime and all other impurities, In his report, the United States Government Chemist says: ‘The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for I have sofound it in many tests made for the United States Government.
