How n Defendant Held Winning
Hand in q Kentucky Lawsutt.

From the Louisville Commerclal, roo' 81
A few days ago, in Breckenridge
county, o rough rider entered asmall
town, got on spree, and assaulted
citizen of the place. Towards evening
the community determined on his ar
rest. He was taken before magistrate
and his case demanding more legal
knowledge than he possessed, the prs
oner was sent to a magistrate In the
country for trial. The prisoner remark
ed "they had better hurry up, as he had
no time to fool around; and if they didn't
look sharp, he'd: get on his horse and
leave" Thus admonished, the majesty
of the Court was brought into requisi-
ton, and the trial proceeded. Inc
prisoner seemed to object to the
whole proceeding, and observing pls'
toll in the pocket of coat hanging on
the wall, he drew it out, and as it hap
pened to be the only weapon in court,
held q winning hand. He requested the
magistrate and his officers to dance on
the floor, and conduct themselves IN
highly ridiculous manner. When he
was satisfied with the performance, he
ordered the Squire to have his horse
brought ont, which he mounted, and
then made that officer of the law show
him q short cut to the nearest main
read. Seeing a clear way out of his
difficulties, he dismissed the Squire and
galloped off, renarking that he had
captured the pistol in war, and he
claimed it as his own. 1t is needless to
say the rough rider disappeared from
the vicinity in all haste, and left no
trace behind him, save the recollection
of his ludicrous impotence.

Irritable InVaIidS.

Indigestion not only effects the physical
health, but the dispositions and tempers of its
victims. The dyspeptic becomes, too, in a
measure demoralized by his sufferings. He IL
subject to fits of irritation, sullenness, or de-
spair, as the case may be. A preternatural SEN
sitiveness which he cannot control, leads him
to lnisconstrue the words and acts of those
around him, and his intercourse even with those
nearest and dearest to him is not unfrequently
marked by exhibitions Of testiness foreign to
his real nature. These are the mental phenom.
ena of the disease, for which the invalid cannot
be justly held responsible but they occasion
much household discomfort. 1t is to the inter.
est Of the home circle, 1t is essential to family
harmony as well as to the rescue of the princi-
pal sufferer from a state not far removed from
incipient insanity, that these symptoms of men.
tai disturbance be promptly removed. This
can only be done by removing their physical
cause, a arrangement of the functions of the
stomach and its allied viscera, the liver and the
bowels. Upon these three important organs

experiencing a notable improvement in his
general health. Not only will his bodily suffer.

itself in his demeanor to all around him.

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

1.-THE life of the flesh is in the Blood" is
Scriptural maxim that science proves to De true;
The people talk Of bad blood. as the cause oil
MANY diseases, and like many popular opinions
this Of bad blood is founded in truth 10 say
nothing of those humors thst are hereditary, we
can easily see how the Blood may become pad
from the imperfect Digestion or failure oil e1'
erection, and how this may influence the process
of Nutrition, and thus influence all the func'
tional activities of the body.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad Digestion-causes imperfect nutri'
ton, and conseq uenty the circulation is feeble,
the soft tissues lose their tone and elasticity,
and the tongue becomes pale, broad, and ire
ouently covered with pasty, white coat. ThiS
condition soon shows itself in rotghness OF the
skin, then in ERUPTIvE and ULCERATTyE diseases,
and when long continued, results in serious
LESSONS of the Brain, Liver, Lungs, or urinary
apparatus. Much, very much, suffering Is caused
by impure blood. 1t Is estimated by some that
one. NTH of the human family are effected With
scrofula In some form.
When the Blood is pure, you are not so liable
TO any disease. Many impurities OF the Blood
arise from impure diseases Of large cities

impossible on the east side of tho way.
A fle of policemen protected the pave

A noveltry in iron manufactures is
ON exhibition at the Geological Museum
of the General Land Office. 1t is sheet
ofrolled iron three feet long and twelve
inches wide, weighing but three and a
half ounces. 1t is thinner than ordin-
airy writing paper, will float upon water
and has fine polished surface. 1t is to
be used in the manufacturing of but
tons, ornaments, &c, where very light
and elastic texture is required. The
extreme thinness or tenuity to which
the process of rolling has reduced the
sheet, shows how pure and malleable
the metal has become when under treat
ment in the furnace.

How TO Ruehre the Counterfei,ers,

The Secretary of the Treasury is not
o little perplexed by the skill and facil-
itx displayed by the counterfeiters IN
'imitating the National currency. The
swift and successful reproduction by
them of the new fifty-cent note suggests
the importance of devising some plan
by which these manufacturers of bogus
money may be "euchred." The Super
intendent of the Note Printing Bureau
has suggested, asd the Secretary is con-
sidering, the following plan: To devise
plates with very few lines and the
plainest kind of engraving, so that the
merest novice can become familiar with
their appearance in very brief space;
to print the notes from these plates on
light cslsred paper of a peculiar quality,
and then let the counterfeiters go to
work. The idea Is that the least varla'
ton in the quality or appearance of the
paper, or in the engraving, may then De
at once discovered; and the moment a
counterfeit makes it appearance, all
notes of the denomination thus initiated
can be called in at once, when the
Treasury may Immediately issue an
other plate. This plan has been sue
cessfully pursued by the Bank of Eng
land for many years.
