scattering Shot Brings About Il
Islander Case.

The most remarkable SANDER case
of late days was tried the other day
before court in Cincinnati. Anna
Il. Rupert sued Christian Eberhardt
for SANDER. The plaintiff and defend.
ant were in the yard Of the latter,
when Christian, who, at the time, was
trying to manage an unruly horse,
broke out in the most violent language,
imputing general want Of honesty,
and by reference to sex, implicitly
want of chastity. The use of the
words was admitted. The defence
was that tie man, being enraged at
the horse (Which was a mare), used
the language entirely in reference to
the animal, and in no way with re-
ference to the woman. The only wit
nesses wero the plaintiff, who swore
positively that the language was ad-
dressed to her,-and the defendant,
who as positively swore that it was
applied exclusively to the horse. The
horse was not examined The jury
found verdict for the plaintiff, asses
sing damages at S., from which it
must be inferred that they believed
that the words were applied to her,
and that the amount of injury she
sustained was very trifling.

TIE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.

From the Ann Arbor Argus
The Chicago Times is evidently op.
posed to the holding Of a Democratic
National Convention and the making
Of nomination, in short, is full in
dorser and advocate of the "passivc
policy" The Times also sees in Judge
Davis, the nominee of the Labor Re-
formers, the coming man" more than
intimates that he should also be nom
mated by the coming Cincinnati Con
vention, and then supported by the
Democracy without intermediate re.
commeudation or nomination by par
ty. We can not regard this as the
better course. 1t would be better in
our opinion to hold the convention and
act as a party than to undertake such
a bushwhacking method of campaign.
Besides, We don't believe the National
Committee will assume the resporsi-
bility of inaction or entering de-
fault, and, if willing so to do deny their
right. Let the convention be held,
and every Democrat we think is in q
mood to indorse any action that it ina y
judge will best accomplish this end il
view-defeat Grant and restore this
government to its normal condition
under the Constitution. We may wei
add that the Democracy cannot wei
stand as body upon the mongrel, dc
magogical platform Of the Labor Re
formers, and if Judge Davis is to re
tain the support of the Democracy h,
must repudiatc several of its planks

Mr.. EDITOR:
| would respectfully call your attcn-
tion to the fact that on the north side
of the river there is a nuisance which
should be looked after by the authori-
ties, and see if it cannot be abated.-
AS citizen of the Third Ward, and
living not far from a den of iniquity
that the noted Five Points of Buffalo
would scarcely rivil in degradation, I
appeal to the press to show this broth
el up to the public, and let them know
what is going on in our midst, and
but few know anything of it. The
proceedings arc truly disgraceful to
any peace loving citizen; they can be
heard at most any hour of the night,
at times, cursirg, swearing, fighting
and drinking, and the object of the
whole being woman that is out at all
times Of day or night, with one, two,
three, four, or five specimens that pre-.
tend to call themselves men, she being
a hardened sinner, beyond redemption.

BY reference to the above statement
it will be noticed that the aggregate
hardness is considerable. The percen-
tage of tardiness, however, is rapidly
diminishing, and at the close of the
term was not one half as much as at
the beginning of the term, and at the
of the year it was several
times greather than at present. The

well with older schools. This is on

carbolic acid by means of force-pnmp
and afterwards drawn of into strong

clarified sugar at the rate four ounces to
the gallon of milk. Then to curdle the

Remedy for Painful Wounds.

A correspondent desires us to give
him of the best remedies that we know
of for wounds. We know of none su.
perior to the following one, which ap-
peared not long since in the Country
Gentleman: Take pan or shovel with
burning Goals, and sprinkle upon them
common brown sugar, and hold the
wounded part in the smoke. In few
minutes the pain will be allayed, and
recovery proceed radiply. In my own
case, rusty nail had made bad won nd
in the bottom of my foot. The pain
and nervous irritation was severe. This
was all removed by holding it in the
smoke for fifteen minutes, and able
TO resume my reading in comfort. We
have often recommended it to others,
with like results. Lately, one of my
men had finger-nail torn out by pair
of ice-tongs. 1t became very painful,
as was to have been expected. Held in
sugar smoke for some twenty minutes,
the pain ceased, and it promises speedy
recovery. As a good substitute for
this, we will merely add that tea
spoonful of the tincture of arnica,
added to pint of cold water, will an.
swer an excellent purpose.

In fact, we saw him deposit himself
in the imperiais Of the diligence.
turned to the mustached gentleman
for an explanation. He invited me to
take glass Of wine with him in the
travellers room, and with great good
humor proceeded to solve the enigma.
He was friend of the young lieut.
enant, and famous as the most deadly
shot in France. He had received let
ter the day before from his friend,
begging him to come to P and help
him carry out ruse which he trusted
would enable him to marry the girl he
was passionately in love with.
The mustached gentleman complied,
left Paris, and reached p in time to
receive from his friends lips particulars
of the stratagem he and the young girl
had concerted between them.
That stratagem was perfectly success
full. The little red.taced man, as
afterward heard, on his reaching Mar
seilles, wrote to the father of his in.
tended bride, apologizing for not having
been able to keep his promise TO 60
down to them. You may believe he
took good care not to inform the father
of the real reason that had prevented
him from p pg his duties to his be-
trothed.
The red.faced man, however, had no
intention of breaking off his marriage,
until he was accosted one morning in
the streets of Marseilles by the mus
tached gentleman, who asked if he still
persisted in his intentions to marry the
young lady.
Certainly" was the reply.
Then" said the other, "if you want
to reach her hand you will have to
mount first on my dead body, and,
secondly, on tne dead body of the
lieutenant. Are you prepared to scale
these fortressesT
Certainly not"
"Then 60 home; write to the lady's
father that circumstances compel you
10 abandon your promise to wed her.
| shall know by the day after tomorrow
if that letter has been written. If'yes,
| will be your friend, and help you, as |
have helped the lieutenant, in any hon
orable love scheme you may choose to
enter upon; if no, be prepared to meet
me in the evening.
The letter was written, and six months
after the young lady was married to the
Lieutenant.

A correspondent Of the London Field
thus tells how he cured q dog of chas.
ing a sheep. A large deerho und, with
not being we'll looked after, got into the
habit OF chasing sheep, and killing
them, too, whenever he had an oppor-
tunity. lie was sharply corrected and
kept chained up for some days, but
when again taken out was as bad o.
ever. Ny father happily remembered
how he had cured = larger retriver Of
the same sin fve-and-thirty years before,
and we have, am pleased to say, made
a perfect cure of my deerhound. After
one of his chasss he was taken up to the
sheep farm, securely tied between two
old Scotch rams, and then let loose in
the yard. No soOner was he let loose,
than all three, being good jumpers,
cleared the wall, and the dog was drag.
ged about the park till all three were
dead tired. The poor fellow was then
taken home, and l can assure you
"sheep chasing" is now the very last
thing of all others that he ever thinks
of. We have a surer cure, and besides,
it does not worry the rams. II is half

Sheep for Food.

The cost of producing mutton, after
allowing for the food, is much less than
that OF beef; yet good mutton sells in
Inc market for nearly as much as beef.
The demand for food sheep in this country
for the butchers is active, and near large
towns the mutton and early lambs can
be made the largest source OF profit.
There the grades of the combining
woods will be found most profitable,
owing to the greater size and early ma.
turity. The Southdowns will pay
equally well for lambs and mu tton, but
will not pay as well for wool. In En-.
gland. where the populations dense, it
is one of their:chief sources of animal
food for its inhabitants. Even in Aus
tralia it is beginning to furnish source
of profit, instead OF this being confined
entirely to the wool. Some idea may
be formed of the demand in this coun.
try when we reflect that there were
sold, in the markets of New York city,
for the year 1871, an average of over
5000 sheep weekly, or one million
three hundred thousand during the
year.-Hon. E. StiLson.

BY the mirror galvanometer of Sir
William Thompson, which was of the
utmost importance In securing the sue
cess Of the Atlantic cable, ray Of light
is reflected from minute mirror that is
attached to magnetic needle. When
the electric current passes the magnet
is detected, and the movement of the
reflected spot of light over q scale indi-
Gates the resistance to the passage of
the current. The united weight of
mirror and magnet is three-quarters of
. grain. During the experiments with
the Atlantic telegraph both cables were
connected at the American end, giving
q circuit Of more than four thousand
miles, yet current passed through the
whole distance in less time than per-
son could pass across the small room in
which the experiment was made-and,
most wonderful Of all, the battery that
accomplished the result was contained
in ladys silver thimble.
