Let me say here that I ho ld judges , ' and especially the supreme court of the country, in much respect , but I am too familiar with the history of judicial proceedings to regard them with any superstiti ous reverence, says Charles Stunner , quoted in an exchange. Judges are but men and in all ages have shown a full share of frailty. Alas! alasl the worst crimes of history M b a ve been committed under their sanc- twn T > * ^ £he blood of martyrs and of patriots , cry-nig from the ground , sum- mons t hem to N judgment. It w as a judicial tribunal which con- demned Socrates to drink the fatal -hemlock anoVwhich pushed the Saviour _ ba £ a feo f over the pavements of Jerusa- lem , p ending benea th. His cross. It was a judifcial tribunal which , against the .v testim ^ ny and entreaties of her father , surrendered the fair Virg inia as a slave; jYhichr arrested the teachin g s of the ' peat apostle to the Gentiles and sent nimin bonds from Jerusalem to Bome; j vhich , in the name of the old relig ion , adjudged the saints and fathers of tho Christian church to death, in all its most dreadful forms , and which after- w ard , in the name of the new reli g ion , enforced the tortures of the inquisition , amid the shrieks and agonies of its vic- tims , while it compelled Gallileo to de- clare in solemn , denial of the great truth that he had disclosed that the . earth did not move around the son. It was a judicial tribunal which , in France , during the reign of her mon- archs , lent itself to be the instrument of eve r y t y rann y , as during the brief rei gn of terror it did not hesitate to stand forth the unpitying accessory of the unp ityng guillotine. Aye , sir , it was a judici al tribunal in England , surrounded by all the forms of law , which sanctioned every despotic caprice of Eenry VIII., from the unjust divorce of Lis queen to the beheading-of Sir Thomas Moore; which li ghted the fires cf persecution , that glowed at Ox- ford and Smitlifield , over the cinders of Latimer , Ridley and John Eodgers; which after elaborate argument upheld the fatal tyranny of shi p money against the patriotic resistance of Hampden; which , in defiance of justice and hu- m anity, sent Sy dney and Russell to the block; which persi s t e ntl y enforced the laws of conformity that our Puritan fathers persistentl y refused to obey, and which afterward , with Jeffries on the bench , crimsoned the pages of Eng- li s h history with massacre and murder , even with the blood of innocent women. Aye , sir , it was a judi cial tribunal in our country, surrounded b y all the forms of law , which hung witches at Salem , which affirmed the constitution- ality of the stamp act , while it admon- jghed jurors and the people to obey, and ^ wliich now in our day has lent its sanctioij to the unutterable atrocity of ^ t*ie fu gitive slave law. ./SAHARA THE VAST. TI »fc Greater Part of It Almost Entlrelj Destitute of Any Ki nd of Life. The Sahara begins on the shore3 oi the Atlantic ocean , between the Ca- naries and Cape Verd , and traverses the whole of north Africa , Arabia and Persia , as f o r as central Asia. The jyte dijterranean portion of it may be said roug lilv to e x tend between the fifteenth and tb ^ ftieth degree of north latitude. This vfe s properly supposed to have been a vast miand sea , b ut t h e New York Led g er says this theory was sup- ported bv geograp hical facts wrong l y; interpreted. It has been abundantly proved by | the researches of travelers and geologists that such a sea was neither life cause nor the orig in of the Lib yan de p ert. Kainlessi and sterile regions of ) this nature are not peculiar to . north Africa , but occur in two belts which go Jound the world in either hemisphere , at about similar distances north ^ afld south, of the equator. These 29 * respond iu locality to the grea t in- land drainage areas from which no water can be discharged into the ocean and which occupy about one-fifth of the total land surface of the globe. The African Sahara is by no means a uni- form plain , but forms several distinct basins containing a considerable extent of what may almost be called mountain land. The Uoggar mountains, in the center of the Sahara , are seven thou- sand feet hi gh , and are covered during three months with snow. The physical s haraeter of the region is very varied ^ In some p laces , such as Tiout and other D ases in or bordering on Morocco , there are well-watered valleys , with fine scenery and a l most Euro p ean ve g e - tation , where the fruits of the north flourish side by side with the palmtree. (n otlicrs , there are rivers like the Uied 3uir , an affluent of tlie K i ger , which the OYc a eli soldiers , who saw it in 1870 , com- pared to the Loire. Again , as in the bed of the Tried Rir , there is a subter- ranean river which g ives a sufficient supp l y of water to make a chain of rich and well-peopled oases equal in fertility to some of the finest portions ?f Al geria. The greater part of Sahara , lowever , is hard and undulating, cut ap by dry water courses and almost en- tirel y without animal or ve getable life. Deterioration of Rubber. A rubber expert , w ho has been mak- ng investigations into the cause of the leterioration of rubber , has thrown a new lig ht on the short service derived Tom rubber hose in railway work. It s found that the copper salts which are jse d in various stages of the manufac- u re of certain kinds of rubber goods i equentl y tend to decompose or harden l ihe material. Metallic copper in con- act with, rubber causes the oxidation or iardenin j r of the gum , although no ap- p reciable amount of the metal may en er into it; but zinc does not in any way •ifeet it. Oil containing even the small- fit quantity of copper is hi ghl y in juri- >us to rubber goods, and all oils , except :astor oil , exert a detrimental effect— insee d oil having also an acid which •ots the cloth. One of the evidences of •Jie decomposition of rubber is its j trong odor , and when a piece of blot- dug paper is placed on decaying rubber 't becomes discolored by some of the e manations , which does not occur when the ru bber is in. good condition.

Th ere is quite a history attached to an old house on Shelter Island. Tradition places i ts age at ^ l75 years. Originally built u s a slave house , later as the place of refuge f or an old and blind negre s s sl ave of the Nicoll Haven ' s farm named Violet. The St ate law . , o f 1825 which gave freedom to all middle aged slaves , and required five years service from minors and the care of dis abled old slaves , was the incentive for the occu pancy of the ' h ouse by Violet. It was moved to a p lot adjoining the present res idence of D. S. Dean and used while t h?re for various purposes—at one time as the town school , later as a place of resi- dauce. Being moved again it was taken across the farm of S. B. Jennings , finall y loc a ted at Its present site to t h e sout h o f Captain Benjamin Cartwrig lii ' s farm- house. I ts Subsequent history up to the present time is of peculiar interest as a certain amount of good fortune seems to accom- pany those who have occu p i ed it. Many of t hose who commenced their residence on Shelter Island in this house have since built places of their own and no t v prosper- ing. B efore this latter state of affai rs , how- e v er , it mi g ht be mentioned that the house w as leased by the town for the pro tection and care of a negr e ss popul a rly known as P eggy . She had emu-rated from Southold and at the time o f her inability to cane for herself was looked after by the town. Ad- d itions have been made to the first structure which consisted o f only one room , with a door to the northeast , a window at the west and a fire place at the southwestern side , which extended outside of the frame work and was covere d by brick. Curtis Met hod of Worc. i Many persons have been curious to know how the late Geor ge William Curtis worked. He lia s been pictured as having a sumptu- ous quarters at Harpers ' , - aud- of doing his journalistic and literary work in almost syb aritic luxury , and these occasional para- gra phs have it u ius t d him as well as others who are f amiliar with the editorial rooms a t Harp e rs ' . T he fact was Mr. Curtis had n o editorial den there , and if he did pos- sess o n e it p robabl y would have b een lik e the others , more conducive to work than to comfo rt ov luxury. Utterly unlike his old emp loyer , H orace Gieeley , in his meth- ods of work , lie resembled Greeley in oue r eepect , that it was his habit to write his e ditorials standing at a desk. Some of ihe most trenchant aud vi gorous editorials he ever has written were put on paper while lie was standing at the desk of the fore man of the com posing room . He had the capacity of wr iting an eutiro editorial men - ially before he cominifted it to paper at all, H - o frequently wrote his b est ones in that way while on the ferryboat from Stat- en Island to the city. His \Easy Chair \ and other more purely literary productions were written in his library aud when he was in entirel y different mo od from that , which p ossessed him when he was a jour- nalist , lie had something of Victor H ugo ' s c apacity to com pose as he was - walking the streets or t aking strolls in the lanes near , his liouie o a fi utea Maud. Do Yoi i Know Him ? The uian wh o wants to argue every- thing. The. uiun who beats a liorse and starves a cow. - The man who does not stay at home of ui g lits. The man who loves the sound of his own sweet voice. The man who thinks it smart to he brusque to strangers. Th e man who keeps his seat while la- dies & r« steading. ' ¦ T he man who boasts of his own extrav- agance and vices. The man whose alp habet always begins at the third vowel. The man who tells one story to the same man a dozen times. The man who at forty thinks he is hand- some and charming. The man who wo uld fetch the umbrella back in ten minutes. The man who borrows books and papers and never returns them.
