that each could drink. 1t was stipulated
that the man who drank the least should
pay the score. They adjourned to the
nearest lager beer saloon and began the
contest. Each glass was sandwiched, 1t is
said, with a draught of Kirschwasser, with
view probably of multiplying the intoxicat-
ing effects of the beer. I.....J

of the spectators assembled to witness the
exploit and at each libation responded to
the approving plaudits of their friends by

was evident that Firmonds stomach was
painfully inflated, and that Fries was also
a sufferer. Still the doughty champions

How 1t Was Done.

A case WAS tried recently in one of our
courts, in which the plaintiff claimed dam
ages for being violently elected from train
on the New York and New Haven railway.
The counsel for the defense, in his plea that
no unnecessary violence was used, made
out the conductor to be a second Chester
field, and the brakeman who had broken
the unfortunate passengers head, and cast
him neck and heels out of the car, the most
tender hearted and amiable OF living crea-
lures.
"Observe, gentlemen of the jury said
the railroad lawyer, ''the manner in which
the gentemanly conductor ordered the re-
moval of this desperate man, by saying in
his good natured way, Now, boys, take
hold and put this fellow off
This expression did not escape the sharp
ears Of the plaintiff s lawyer, who, in his
tuln, illustrated it as follows:
Gentlemen of the jury, my brother has
told you that the conductor, in the pleasant
manner, said, Now, boys, take hold and
put this fellow off. Now, gentlemen, when
is it that men are addressed as boys Why
when they are expected to do something
violent or dangerous. As the mate calls
upon his crew-'Now, Boys, lay afoat and
furl topsails, or the captain shouts to his
men in the field, Now, boys, aim low and
let 'em have it.; but gentlemen, what would
you think if bank president would sum-
mon his directors together with Now,
boys let's go in and discount Browns
note, or of the clergyman who should rise
in his pulpit and shout Now, boys let's
sing the AID Psalm"
Verdict was rendered for plaintiff.

What Fanny Fern Used to DO.

The following is bit of Fanny Ferns
experience:
II used to believe in school friendship.
That delusion ended when Arabella Triplet
told mutual friends that l was years and
years her senior, knowing what terrible
fib she told.
II used to suffer pangs of anger because
of woes of beggars. Since that have seen
one unstrap his leg in an area, and run of
gaily on two legs of his own. Another
threw a loaf of bread in the gutter, and l
saw third who had all day been yelling,
please assist the blind, carefully examin-
ing his collection of ten-cent stamps by the
light of friendly apple.woman's candle.
81 used to put the greatest faith in
lovers VOWS. Now, do not believe man
means anything he says TO a woman, IN
less it is something disagreeable.
81 used to believe in faithful servants.
Since then have hired girls from intelli-
gence offices, and lost all my handkercbiets
but one.
81 used to believe in beauty. Since
then / have seen bewitching belle take
off half her hair, all her teeth, the best of
her complexion, two pounds of cotton bat
ting and corset"

UNCLE JACK ORR, aged African of pure
blood, died a few days ago at Louisiana,

larly imported Africans before the closing
up the slave trade about the year 1903, and
was purchased from on board the slave ship
at Charleston and brought to the then ter
ritory OF Missouri, he being still boy. He

PRIVATE TALKS AMONG FARsIERs-As soon
as farmers become familiar with each other
and interchange thought on the subject of
their farming, this one thing takes place
favorably: the best man among them d.
reefs the farming of the neighborhood. 1t
is hence that we see in many sections i'm.
provements that, In comparison with sur
rounding land, seems GASES. 1t is not the
natural richness of the soil SO much that
makes this, las this will soon become ex.

this improvement is carried on success
fully, you will find drainage, deep plow-
ing, ION the whole) grazing, the use of clo-
yer, top-dressing instead of the old-fash-
toned turning in of manure, and the rigid
saving of manure. You will find early
crops, and early harvested, before fully
ripe, and the hay crop grass crop dried,
of course, now more expeditiously and
successfully since the tedder is such sue
cess.
These are but a few, though the main
principles of farming. They are under

neighborhood, aud practiced, 80 that he
teaches both by example and oral instruc-
ton.
meeting, club, the holding of fairs,
are not OF as much benefit as these talks,
quiet, confidential, and always to the point.
Thus different experiments are tried, and
farming is all the while on tending up
ward, where the leading mon are directing
it, where they are. Iut there must be
confidence or the whcie game ID spoiled. L.
This is not always the case; there is much
jealousy; we are apt to believe in our own
way and adhere to it, however that way
may be- We look with jealous eyes upon
our neighbors' good crops, and will not own
that we are in error and that lie is right; SO
we envy him, and, yes hate him.
Now this is the case with some, we hope
not many. The majority however may be
benefited. They believe in prosperity. they
wish for It, and so they are the right men
to work upon; and if your leading man is
the right kind of man, obliging unassum.
ing, the way is open, The thing can be
bone, is being done, and will be done more.
And the sooner we go about it in greater
earnest, seek, communicate, the sooner
will the profit be realized.

Feninn Trials.


CANANDAIGUA, June 27.-Ip the United States
Circuit Court to-day, the Fenian raiders, Gene
raj Starr and Colonel Thompson, were arraigned
upon several indictments against them and
pleaded not guilty.
They were indicted jointly and separately for
violating the neutrality laws. General Starr
appeared with his counsel who stated to the
Court that his client would not be ready for trial
at the present term, that he required reasonable
time properly to prepare for his defense, and
that he had afiidavits to sustain his motion to
postpone the trial. The Judge said he would
hear the motion at 230 P. NJ. Colonel Thomp-
son said that his counsel had not arrived, but
that he would be here some time tomorrow.
Captain Mannix arraigned on Friday, and
stated that he could not be prepared for trial
until the October circuit at Albany. The two
latter cases will probably be disposed of to-
morrow, when the motion will be heard. The
District Attorney will oppose the motion and
pi ess the cases to trial.

AT THE WALNUT the very attractive drama
of The Ldncers will be performed this evening
and during the week, after which the theatre
will be closed, and number of extensive altera-
tions and improvements made preparatory to
the fall opening. Considering the extremely
hot weather of the last week The Ldncers
achieved decided success, although it did not
attract as large audiences as its merits deserved
1t is an exceedingly pleasant play, interesting
without being soul-harrowing-jus the kind of
piece, in fact, for the hot weather. The various
characters are admirably sustained and we COM
mend it again to those who wish to pass a plea
SAINT evening.
AT THE ARCH Mr.. Josh Hart's Grand Triple
Combination commences its second week this
evening, when the burlesque and harlequinade
of Robinson Crusoe and his Nan Friday will
be produced in grand style. The entertainment
will include Messrs. Maffitt and Bartholomew,
the pantomimists, the Kiralfy Troupe, and a
great number of other talented performers. This
kind of an entertainment is eminently suitable
for the season, and it will undoubtedly secure a
fair share of the public appreciation.
AT DUPREz & BENEDICT's OPERA House
the Infant Sappho will give an entertainment
this evening of the nature of which we are in
total ignorance. If the curiosity of the public
on the subject is equal to our own, the house
will not be able to hold all who apply for ad-
