The Board of Health, after all that
has been said and done IN regard to the
quarantine officer, Rogers, reported to-
day that his accounts were found to be
in such a confused condition that they
required investigation by experts, and
accordingly directed such examination
to be made.
Snyder, late husband of Mrs. Fair,
testified for the prosecution to-day,
stating the particulars of the alleged
putting up of tho case for divorce on
him. The defense then put Mrs. Fair
on the stand to rebut his evidence.
She swore tint no such plot was ever
laid, and furthermore, that he came to
her cell after her arrest and offered to
testify in such a manner as to clear her
if she would pay him $4,000, which
she refused to do-hence the testimony
against her. Cook, her counsel, then
testified, substantially corroborating
her testimony In this particular. The
evidence on both sides was then do
clared closed, and Judge Dwinelle nd
journed the Court until tomorrow
morning, when the arguments of the
counsel will commence.

Josh Billings gives the following
valuable instructions:
When the preacher comes In and
meals down In the poolpit, pull out all
the shoppers. That's wot the shoppers
Is for.
When n him Is Civ out to DO sung,
play over the whole toon before singin,
but be sure to play 1t so they can't tell
whether it's that toon Or some other
toon. 1t will amoose the people to
guess.
When you play the interlude, sum-
times pull all the shoppers out, and
sumtimes pull them all In. The stop
pers Is mado to pull out and In.
Play the interloods about twice rs
long as the toon. The lnterloods is the
best part of the mewsic, and should be
tho longest.
Play from the interloods into the
toon without letting them know when
the toon begins. This will teach them
to mind tlieir bizness. Always play
the interloods faster or slower than the
toon. This will keep it from being the
same as the toon.
If the preacher gives out o virces
play 4. lew many virces Is teejus.
Dooring the sermon 60 out Of the
church, and cum back in time for the
next toon. This will show you don't
mean to be hard on the preacher by
havin tew many listen to him ut wonst.

From the Hannibal (Mo.) Courier, March SOL
Charley Turley, a gentleman who
resides IN Rails county, came to the
city yesterday, accompanied by his
wife, for the purpose of making some
purchases and revisiting the glimpses
of city life, and put up with our old
friend Joe Leamon, at the Marion
House. They were Hospitality received
by "mine host" enjoyed O good sup
per, but when Charley was ready to
retire, he could not find Ills wife high
nor low. A horrible suspicion Of the
Ways that arc dark
And tricks that arc vain
In n city flashed across his mind, but
staving it off for the time being, he
hastily sought the landlord and desired
to know what had become of his "bet-
ter half" He was informed that the
lady was In her room enjoying a quiet
siesta. He said "all right" and de-
sired to be shown to her room, but was
horror-stricken when Informed that he
would not be permitted to occupy the
same apartment which the lady did.
He thought this a little too thin, and
desired to know, In language more
forclble than polite, why not?" He
was politely Informed that the land
lord did not believe them to be man
and wife. Then Charley "biled over,'
and Insisted that the lady was his wife,
and that he intended to enjoy all the
rights, privileges and immunities guar
anteed to married men by the statutes
of the State of Missouri and the Con-
stitution of the United States. But we
regret to say he didn't, but occupied a
separate room, and when the bill was
presented for payment In the morning,
he positively refused to pay his wife's
bill. The couple left for home the
next day, laughing over the trick that
had been played them.

WIZ. shonId M, h, Too Cr.duIou.,

1t is said that vanity, and n desire to
be deemed beautiful, Is q special and
perhaps n hereditary failing of the
female lineal descendants OF Eve. 1t
Is n failing that Is often taken advan-
tage of by the designing, but not often
In just the way, nor to quite the extent,
that a sharp female has succeeded In
doing In her dealings with some Of the
fair denlzens of Kansas City, as would
appear by the following from the
Journal:
Some time ago O woman Of specious
appearance, and representing herself
to I've all sorts Of things, but principally
n doctress from an Eastern town, Wis.,
tied Kansas City, and calling upon a
number of ladies, induced them to SUBJ
scribe s. for some lotion or cosmetic,
or what not which, In the opinion of
our good ladies, seemed to be a good
thing. The adventures, or whatever
you may call her, took some 800 or
$500 worth of orders for this new
recipe, and with the money safely
pursed she returned home, the sub
scribers being promised their purchase
by express, upon her arrival home.
Sure enough, In course of time, our
lady spectators were notified, and to
the express Office each went-rather
slyly, to be sure-to get the prize.
Seventy-fve cents charges were de-
manded and paid, and a skurry home
followed, and each inquisitiye woman
examined the package. There was a
box of small size, and In it the follow
ing delicately written recipe: "Pro-
cure some pure spring water, or, II not
convenient, the coolest, purest cistern
water possible. Take n long swallow
of this upon going to bed at night, and
nothing else"
It need not be added that Of the one
hundred or more deluded women, not
one dares to raise her head at tho
laugh which Is going around at their
expense. The experience Is worth con-
siderably more than the loss Of the IS,
and we presume 1t will be some days
before they again invest In patent
nostrums, brought around by plausible
adventures.

"a Fast Hear Experience Of n

From the Bonneville Mo.) Eagle, March 81
On Monday last, a man answering

during his stay In the city disposed Of
no small quantity Of the "article."
This turned his head from its proper
shape, and he let his tongue loose on
fast horses, he claiming to have an
animal "that could beat anything In
the country" His demeanor plainly
showed that but little common sense
was left In his Uranium, and a party Of
"gay and festive" youths finally sue
ceeded In %persuading him to get his
horse and try his speed. This suited
precisely, and the horse was brought
forth and Westbrook mounted him.
putting him under whip and spur, and
running the animal at a fearful rate.
He kept this up for some time, but was
finally spotted by policeman Farris,
and would undoubtedly have rested his
weary limbs at the 'City Rancho !" had
not the horse thrown him, fracturing
his skull In the fall. At last accounts
Westbrook was In a critical condition,
but hopes were entertained Of his re-
coyery. This should be a warning to
fast men to keep away from fast
horses.
