FoREIdN ITEMs.-Dispatches by
the Atlantic Cable have been received
down TO the 18th cmbracinga few
items of interest.-Spain has accept
ed the offer of England and France to
act as mediators in the Spanish
CHILEAN difficulties. it is also stated,
from Madrid, that the Spanish GOV.
ernment has information that the
etiorts of the United States Govern
mcnt in the same direction were pro-
crossing favorably. Count Bismarck,
The Prussian Prime Minister, is seri-
ouslyill. A Military Commission has
gone to Venice to take possession for
the Italian Government OF the war ma
terial there. The fact that the Com
mittce Of Deputies Of the Island Of
Gambia, now in revolt against Turkey
have, petitioned the United States
Government for assistance, coupled
with the arrival Of three United
States war ships there, excites some
attention.

AN INTERESTING LAWSUIT One
of the biggest lawsuits at the recent
term Of the Grant County Court was
the case of A. G. Murphey q Co. Is.
VIM. II. elise, Sheriff. This was an
action brought by the plaintiff to re-
cover damages forunlawful seizure of
goods. A. G. Murphoy 4 Co. are
hardware dcalersin this village. Jew
EFT 4 Root Of chicago had procured
"a judgment against James Dodge an
employee of A. q. Murphcy x Co,
for some five hundred dollars and on
the allegation that Dodge was a part
ner in the firm, procured an attach,
ment pat in the Sheriff and seized
goods to the invoccd value Of S2,258
TO satisfy said Judgment. Murphey
4 GO. brought suit against the sher-
1T as above stated, claiming dana
gos not only for the value OF goods
but also for detention TO business and
damage to credit-the total claim be-
ing $4,000 The issue turned on the
point as to whether Dodge was or
was not partner in the concern. 1t
was APPARENT proven that he was
not, and the jury brought in a yer
diet for s., 25S-merely covering the
cost of the goods. This seems
singular verdict. If Dodge was not
"a partner, and Murphey Il Go. were
entitled to compensation for goods
seized, they were also entitled to
damages for detention to business
and damage to credit. If, on the
other hand, they failed to prove their
point, they were entitled to nothing
except what remained from the sale
of the goods after satisfying judg
ment. This is the way it looks in
common sense point ofview but per
haps legal view gives it different
aspect. We may remark that there
seems to be too great a tendency on
the part of .juries generally to com
promise matters between parties at
law. Juries have no business with
compromises. Their duty is to mcte
out strict justice, leaving all com
promises to be effected by tie parties
themselves.
Sheriff elise is of course indemni.
fed by Jewett e. Root, so that he
suffers no loss in his own person.
Messrs. Murphey 4 Co. have filled
up their stock and repaired all dam
age sought to be inflicted upon them,
and are now ready to continue bust
ness on larger scale than ever be-
fore " itneSs.

few months longer The subsequent
training depends upon the use the

Late Hours-A lady's Advice to

Dear gentleman bctwccIi the ages

young lady, go away at 4 reasonable

indeed. can be very pleasahtly spent
with music, chess, or other games, to
lend variety; but, kiad siis, by no
means stay longer. Make shorter
calls and come oitener. 4 eirl-that
is, sensible truehearted gtrs-will
enjoy it better, and really, value your
acquaintance more. Just conceive
the agony of a girl who, we'll know
ing the feeling Of father and, mother
upon the subject, hears tie clock

edge of her chair, in mortal terror
lest pap4 should put his oft repeated
threat into eXecution-tha9 Vi invi-
ting the gentleman to htcaHtast.
And We girls understand it all by ex-
perience, and know what ii is to
dread the prognostic ct disploasure.
In such cases a sigh otrelief generally
accompanies the closing OF the door
behind the gallant, and one cont get
over the feeling Of trouble till safe in
the arms OF Morpheus. Even then
sometimes the dreams are troubled
with some phantom of an angry faith

mother, and all because young man
will make a longer call than he ought
to. Now, young gentlemen friends,
I'll tell you what we girls gill DO.
For an hour and half we Twill be
most ilrcsistibly charming and tas-
cinating. Then beware morosylla-
bles will be all You need expect and
if, when the limits shall have passed,
a startling query shall be heard com

bounds We want to rise early these
pleasant mornings. and Improve the
