We are glad to see, by the testimony
before the Ecclesiastical Tribunal,
that there is a good chance that our
fellow citizen, DR., L. d. Houston
will be proven innocent of the crimes
charged against nm in Baltimore, He
was away from the city at the time
specified by the prosecuting witness
when the offense occurred, and it APP
pears that the young girl who accuses
him had previously fallen from virtue.
TIL s is important, and seems to 20 to
the Cist Of the case. Those who read
the Enquirer VIII remember that we
alw1ys doubted his guilt, and TINT we
advised all not TO be preiudiced until
they heard his defense. Asa native
horn C'ncinnotian, and a graduate OF
Woodward College his acquittal from
foul charge would be hliled with
peculiar pleasure by the mass of our
citizens. - Cincinnati Enquirer.

Aftcr-EDinmer Mans.

Many persons, particularly the middle
aged and elderly, allow themselves this
real indulgence; and the custom, if not
carried to excess, is by many medical
men considered beneficial rather than
otherwise, as, by keeping the body in a
state of quietude, digestion is promoted
and assisted. In Southern countries
the midday sleep, termed the siesta, is
almost universally taken, and wonder
fully refreshes the frame enervated and
weakened by the intense heat. 1t is.
however, recommended that such sleep
be not INDUCED in to too great length,
as persons invariably find such prolonged
slumber in the daytime causes them to
wake dull irritable and unrefreshed
while most have experience, on having
been accidentally reused up, a few min
utes after absolute forgetfulness, a sensa-
ton of lightness and renewed vigor. I'M
attended by peevishness or the least de-
sire to sleep again. Medical men in
sanctlonlng the indulgence, particularly
advise that it be taken in "a reclining
posture, but by no means lying horizon
tally, the stomach, in tbs latter position
pressing on the intestines and causing
the blood to be impelled to the head.
Corpulent persons, and those who have
to apoplexy, should be particu-
larry mindful OF this point.

MURDER IN FUN.
Anotter Playful idiot, ,cho "Didat Think
1t 1cds Loaded.

From the New Albany Ledger, Sept. 10.
Enoch Jenkins, young man, resides
about eleven miles from this city near
BennetsvilIe. Enoch had IA little brother,
John /. jenkins, about five years of age
the idol Of his fathers ,mily, and none
loved him more than Enoch. Yesterday
this bright little fellow was romping
round the sitting room in his fathers
house, happy himself, and by his merry
prattle making the rest of the family also
happy. Just then his brother Enoch
entered the room with an old blunderbuss
he was going to clean up, and out of
reckless sport pointed the ugly weapon
at little Johnny's head, drawing a bead
upon his temple, the gun went off and
when the smoke cleared away, alas
Johnny's brains were seen scattered
about the floor ana despatched on the
walls, and his body stretched out in
death. Such scene as followed can be
more easily imagined than described.
None regretted the fatally rash act and
Its melancholy result more than the auth
or OF this terrible calamity, but regrets
of lifetime will not atone for his indis-
Greet, foolish and death dealing act.
