A Remedy Worse than
the Disease.

The Vallejo Recorder has the
following; About / o'clock
yesterday morning, as we were
vending our way homeward, we
were suddenly startled by the re-
port of gun: We rushed into
the house from which the sound
proceeded, and found matters thus:
"a certain husband living in that
neighborhood has a habit of walk.
ing in hls, sleep, and bis wife got
SO tired of having him frisk a.
round the house during the silent
watches of the night, that at last
she determined to tie him fast af.
ter he got to sleep. She affixed
string to his ankle and tied the
other end fast TO what happened
to be most handy, which was
her husband s double, barrelled gun
behind the door in the corner ct
the room. About l o'clock the
somnambulist arose for the purpose
Of taking 6 ramble around the
room. When he had taken about
six steps, the artillery came out
of its seolusion in the corner with
a jerk, and both barrels went off,
the loads crashing through the
panels of the door. 1t soon
brought both parties to conscious
ness. Yesterday he was busy
putting new panel in the door,
which is far better than digging
load OF buckshot out of the baby"

story of an Iowa soldier, who
while in the army in 1863, re-
ceiyed amongother clothing a gray
-woolen shirt, with the name of

so that when he put the garment
on tae name came over his heart.
He wrote, she answered, ditto, dit
to Coming home on a iurlough

The war over, the wedding was in
order. Then the gallant fellow
explained how he came first by
the address of his fair bride,-he
produced the identical garment
with the dear girls name still
stitched into it. Julia, that is
her name, still makes his shirts,
also those of a promising five.year-
old, in which they have a joint
interest. All residents OF Ap.

Interesting Case Of Heir
yJ q shin.

Says the Hartford Conn. Times:
The drowning of Mr.. Lamm and
his daughter in East Haven, ,recert-
ly, will result in anumber of law
suits. MIR. Morris has been ap-
pointed administrator Of the estate,
which is situated in Montowese
and has increased 200 per cent.
within few months. Mr.. Lumm
had transferred his property to
friend to keep it out of his wlfe's
hands, and this will annoy the ad-
ministrator some. A suit has
been brought against the town of
East Haven by Mr., Norris for
S306,600g Another suit will be
instituted to decide who will pay
for the horse, the State or the town.
The most complex question arises
as to who will be Mr.. Lumm 8
heir. If it is proven that he died
first, the property would have
gone 70 the daughter and then
back to the mother. Ifthe dangli.
ter was drowned first, then the
property goes to half sister Of
Mr.. Lumm's, who lives somwhere
iu the West, hut just where is not
known. Altogether, it will be
most interesting legal contest,

town of East Haven be successful,
there VIII he considerable proper.

How the Tariff Affects
Printers. -s

The type.fOunders of the United
States, have certainly secured q
tariff upon imported type that
gives them all the incidental
protection that the most devoted
friend Of protective tariffs could
desire. Take a single example
Before the war "body" type of
the size called "long primer" by
printers cost exactly 80 cents pei
pound. -Hnow sells at SIS cents
an increase Of about 67 per cent.
The greatest outrage upon prin.
ters, however, consists in the fact
that the type founders have formed
a union for the purpose of preven
ting a reduction in prices, and
every type,feunder in the Repub-
lie is a member of this combina-
ton. Exil.-.- -r II
Right across the border, in Can
ada, "long primer" type of finer
finish and more durable than that
manufactured in this country is
selling at 81 cents per pound.
This is protecting American in
dustry with a vengeance! The
printers employ a thousand per-
sons to every one person furnished
employment by the type-touuders.
1t is time that this tariff tax upon
spelling books, primary books,
and intelligence should be reduced.

The Crows.

Henry Ward Beecher says of
crows: "Aside from the special
question of profit and loss, We have
warm side toward the crow, he
is 50 much like one Of ourselves.
He is lazy, and that is human; he
takes advantage Of those weaker
than himself, and that is manlike;
he is ely and bides for tomorrow
what he can't eat to-day, showing
a real human providence; be learns
tricks much faster than he does
useful things, showing a true boy
nature; he likes bis own color best,
and loves to hear bis voice, which
are eminent traits Of humanity; he
will neverwork when he can get
another to work for him, a gen.
uine human trait; he eats what.
ever be can get his claws upon, and
is less mischieyous with a belly
full than when hungry, and that is
like man; he is at war with all
living things except his.:own kind,
and with them he has nothing
to do. No wonder, then, that
men despise crows; they are too
much like men. Take off his
wings, and put him In breeches,i
crows would make fair. average
men, Give, men wings and re-
duce'their smartness a little, and
many of them would be good
enough TO &c crows"
