THE BaowNE.ADAMs HOMICIDE.
The Examination Postponed Until
Tomorrow.

This case was called up for hearing
before Recorder Scales at ten o'clock
this morning. The Recorders Court
room at the Adams street station-house
was soon crowded with spectators. In
few minutes Judge Venable and Gov
ernor Harris appeared as counsel Of the
defendant, Mr.. j. W. S. Browne. The
Recorder asked the gentlemen if they
were ready, and stated that he pre-
sumed it would not be necessary to 60
into the case at great length, and 1t
could probably be disposed of in short
time. aa
Governor Harris stated they were
ready for trial, but the examination
would necessarily occupy an entire day,
if not two, and the investigation IN an
other case (the Jones-Cavanaugh case),
which would be taken up at one o'clock
this afternoon, would prevent any inves-
tigation until tomorrow.
Judge Venable coincided in these
statements, and added that they desired
to have full and thorough examination
of the facts in this case.
Colonel Young announced that he
would represent the State in this case
and agreed that it should be continued
until tomorrow
Recorder Scales replied that if hi
could not hear the case at that time h'
would make the warrant returnable be
fore Justice Winters for trial tomorrow
morning.
Col. DuBose, deputy sheriff, asked tn
court to issue another warrant, charging
the defendant, Browne, with murder, il
place of the warrant then in his posses
sion, which only charged the defendan
with attempting to murder, which latte
warrant was issued prior to the death c
Capt. Adams. Another warrant wa
sworn out by Mr. j. d. Adams, brothe
to the deceased, charging the defendan
with murder. In the meantime MI
Browne will remain in confinement
Should Justice Winters get through wit
the hearing of the Cannon-Morse cas-
this evening, he will hear the Browne

ouick sbtpment to New York.

The first bale of cotton which arrived
in tins city, and was purchased by Capt.
John j. Gibson at twenty-five cents,
was shipped, free of charge, to New
York by the Star Union Line. The time
made by this cotton bale by river and
rail was somewhat remarkable. The
bale left Memphis on the steamer City
of Chester, one of the st. Louis Packet
Company's boats, on the 25th inst, at
2 pm; left Cairo on the 9th, at 2;45
D. m, and arrived in New York city on
the 29th, at 1880 am. Time, 57A hours
from Memphis. Yesterday the new
bale was rallied for in New York city
and netted thirty cents.

The CannOn-MOrse Case-Argumeni
of Counsel Going On.

Justices Winters, Burke and Elliott
appeared on the bench at 10 o'clock this
forenoon in order to hear the counsel Of
the State and defendant argue the case.
Capt. Van A. W. Anderson opened the
argument for the State. He will be fol-
lowed by Gen. Sale and Col. Bullock,
and the closing argument will be made
by Capt. Fowlkes for the State. 1t is
possible, but not probable, that these ar
guments will be concluded to-day. The
gentlemen are noted for making able and
lengthy arguments. They will necessa-
rily have to travel over a considerable
amount of ground-so many points came
up in the examination. The main point
involved is one of bail or Imprisonment
until the next term of the Criminal
Court,

rhe GuIIett Cotton Gin.

Tits celebrated cotton gin has acquired
a reputation among planters. Cotton
from this gin is warranted to produce
mort lint and bring from one to two
cent per pound more than any other
gin in the market. All persons having
cotton to gin will find it to their advan-
tage to carry it to the establishment OF
the Gullett Ginning and Manufacturing
Company, at the corner of Vance and
Causey streets. The proprietor, Mr.. N.
w. speers, jr., has erected new buildings
and has put up new machinery. The
capacity OF the works is estimated al
thirty bales per day. The gins are new
and capable of turning out the best
ginned cotton in the market. Give them
a trial.

Money.
There is very little change to report in the
money market to-day. The demand for money
is more active, however, than for sometime,
and without doubt the season is close at hand
when the banks and banking houses will have
active employment for their surplus funds.
and when the local money market will work
closer than for several months past. The
banks, though easy in currency, are husband
ing their resources to meet the wants Of their
regular customers, and are more particular in
the way of discounts as the demand from the
mercantile community increases, and as the
season advances and business becomes more
active, the full ability of the banks will doubt
less be called into requisition to meet the le-
Ultimate demands of business. Between now
and the 5th prox. it is anticipated that larger
amounts will be called for than at the end of
any previous month during the seas on. Dis
count rates to-day are firm at 10 to II per cent.
per annum at the banks and IL to 21S per cent.
in the open market.

Ostrich Farming.

Ostrich farming is now a regular
branch OF industry at the Cape Of Good
Hope, where the bird has already be-
come a member of the "fancy poultry
family. At Grahamstown there is a
large establishment in which these birds
are bred for their feathers. The inclo-
sure in which they are kept is from Is
to 20 acres in extent, aud is surrounded
by a low stone wall, over which the
foolish birds could easily step, but never
think Of doing so. a similar kind OF
stupidity is characteristic of the wild
turkey Of this continent. The common
est kind Of atrap for these birds is sim
ply little cabiu made of logs, with
low doorway. The turkeys enter this
to get at the sheaf of wheat with which
it is baitcd, but it never by any chance
| occurs to them that the doorway can be
used for an exit as well as an entrance,
and the trapper finds them trying to get
out at the roof when he arrives. The
ostrich eggs in the Cape establishment
are hatched by means Of oil lamps. The
most valuable feathers furnished by the
birds are the long white ones that grow
from the wings. These are worth from
$3.50 to 5000 by the pound, and it takes
about so of them to make pound An
ostrich in good plumage is worth from
eighty TO one hundred dollars, and a
skilful hunter will kill as many as 20 or
so Of them in a season. ..

Many inquiries are being made as to
who was the author of the law, now be-
ing enforced, which authorizes any per-
son suffering damage from the sale OF
intoxicating liquors, to recover the same
from the seller or owner of the property
where the sale was made. This law was
framed and introduced in the House on
the 7th Of February last, by Mr.. Adair,
Of Carroll county, aud after protracted
discussion was Lassed on the Sth of April
ensuing. 1t was finally signed and be-
came law on the 18th of April, 1870,
and has therefore been upon our statute
books nearly six months.
There could scarcely be desired more
efficient prohibitory enactment than this
one, if enforced, and there seems to be a
disposition among practical temperance
men to enforce it. There is not liquor
dealer in Ohio who can withstand for
any length of time, the vigorous execu-
tion Of its provisions. Nor can anything
be more effrctual to silence the clamor of
that class of politicians who seek to
make the temperance question political
hobby, by demanding prohibitory law,
than an Intelligent understanding of the
nature and efficiency of this enactment.

People will Talk.

You may ge, through the world, but twill be

II YOU listen TO all that Is said as you 20
You'll be worried and fretted, and kept in a
stew,
For meddlesome tongues will have something
For people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have It presumed
That your humble position is only assumed
You're wolf in sleeps clothing, or else you're
n fool
But don't get excited, keep perfectly cool,
For people will talk.
If generous and noble. they'll vent out their
spleen,
You'll hear some loud hints that you're selfish
and mean,
If upright, honest, and fii as the day,
They'll call you a rogue in sly, sneerlng way,
For people will talk.
And then, if you show the least boldness Of
heart,
Or a slight inclination TO take your own part,
They will call you an upstart, cenceited and
vain
But keep straight ahead, don't stop TO explain
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress, or od-fashioned your
hat
Some one will surely take notice of that
And hint rather strong that you can'tpay your
way
But don't get excited, whatever they say,
For people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion, don't think TO
escape,
For they criticise then different shape;
You're ahead OF your means, or your tailor's

But mind your own business, there is naught
to be made,
Fer people will talk.
Now, the beet way TO do is to do as you please,
For your mind, il you have one, will then be

OF course you will meet with all sorts of abuse,
But don't think to stop them, ii amt any use,

The eleventh artesian we'll is now flowing
in this county, and there are no dinlinution
in any other well. The number of these wells
and the unfailing success in boring them, sug-
gcsts an idea that they can be advantageously
used for purposes of power. 1t costs about
$4 900 to bore tive-inch well; 81 900 70
s 800 will enlarge it to seven inches the in
terest on this money is $3.50 per year, and
such a well will furnish power amply sufh-
cient for any ordinary manufacturing pur-
pose. Thrty-siX superficial inches Of water.
under head of 70 to 100 feet, will discharge
1900 gallons per minute. The weight of this
upon turbine or oyersh0t wheel can be
readily calculated. Coal to do the same
work, with the labor of an engineer, will cost
not less than $s,OO0 per year. 1t would seem
that Chicago possesses in its subterranean
streams the elements of most magnificent
water power; and if further Developments
should confirm the present promise, no man
ufacturing point in the world could compete
with it.-ChicagO Paper f slr
