A Modern Rib Van wrnkIe.

Nearly three years ago. says. tho
San Francisco Alta Of February "a,
Mr.. r. A. Hall, then a resident Of this
city, was rendered unconscious, by
striking his head againet a beam In his
barn. He speedily recovered and no
serious consequences resulted from the
injury up to within the past few days.
Shortly after the accident Mr.. Hall
engaged In business In Scranton, Pa,
and removed .thither. One day last
week he was obliged to leave his store
and 20 home, owing to q severe and
peculiar pain In his head. After reach
Ing his residence he was taken with
violent spasms, which continued at
short intervals until 10 O'Clock at
night. when they lett him and he sank
into a quiet sleep, resting well all
night. Upon awakening In the morn
Ing It was discovered that his memory,
from the date Of the accident In Ell
mira. was entirely gone. Everything
that had occurred during the past three
years, was as blank to him as If he had
been In a swoon for all that time. He
recognized his wife and others he had
known before the accident, but two
children that were born during
| the past three years, were entire stran-
gers to HIM. His oldest child, five years
old, he remembered only as she was
but two. His mind seemed weak, and
his friends hoped that with the return
of his usual good health his memory
would be restored. In a day or two.
however, both his mental and physical
visor returned. bus the singular gap In
his memory remained. His partner In
business, Mr.. Pratt. Mr.. Hall had
known for years. Mr.. Pratt, at the
time of the injury to Mr.. Halls head,
was principal of a school at Danyille,
Pa, and Mr.. Hall remembered him
only rs that. He entered the latter's
room a day or so after he was taken
sick, and Mr.. Hall was very much sur
prised to see him, and asked him about
his school and friends IN Danvllle.
Mr.. Hall could hardly BIZ brought TO
believe his present condition, but lie
finally saw that It could not be other
wise. Every effort was made by his
family to bring up old associations, the
deaths of friends and relatives, and
important events in his life for the
past three years, to awaken some sign
Of recollection Of that time, but In
vain. He was greatly surprised to
learn that lie had been doing business
In Scranton for two years, and in n
drive through that city q day or two
since he recognized mono of the busl-
ness firms with whom he has had deal
ings during that time. He Is now In
this city, visiting old scenes aud friends,
In hopes that he will fix his mind on
something that will lead 1t back over
the three years that are blank to him,
and result in entirely restoring his
memory.

The nFan WAC stops his Papsr

Philip Gilbert Hamilton in his admira-
bic papers on the intellectual Life''
thus talks to the man who stopped his
paper"
Newspapers are TO the civilized world
what the daily housetalk is to the mem
bers of a household; they keep up our dai-
ly interest in each ether, they save US
from the evils of isolation, To live as
member of the great white race of men,
the race that has filed Europe and Amer
lea and colonlzed or conquered whatever
other territory it has been pleased to oc-
cupy, to share from day to day its cares
its thoughts and aspirations,it it is necessary
that every man should read his paper.
Why are the French peasants so bewilder-
ed and at sea; so out of place IN the mod
ern world? 1t is because they never read
a newspaper. And why are the inhabit-
ants of the United States though scat
tered over territory fourteen times the
area of France, so much more capable of
concerted action; so much more alive and
modern; 80 much more interested in new
discoveries of all kinds, and capable of
selecting and utilizing the best of them?
1t is because the newspapers penetrate
every where; and even the lonely dweller
on the prairie or in the forest is not intel
lectually isolated from the great currents
of public life, which flow through the tel
egraph and press"

How the Verdict Against the Pica-
June Was Obtained.

How the Verdict Against the Pica-
yune Was Obtained.
a correspondent at New Orleans thus
describes the scene in the Jury room;
The case was given to the jury on FRI
day. and at 6 o'clock Friday evening, the
jury came into court and said it was i'm
possible for them to agree. The Jury
were then locked up in hot, close, sui
try room, IN this tropical climate, the
whole of Friday night, without sleep and
without rest, for they had no bars to pro-
tect them against the swarms OF ravenous
mosquitoes that are to be found about
the Court buildings. On Saturday morn
ing the Jury stood as it did the previous
evening, and Judge Lynch sent them
word that he intended to confne them
until they did agree. The Jury after be-
ing locked up all day Saturday, was
brought into the Court room at o'clock,
when two OF the jury told Judge HaW-
kins, that it was impossible for them to
agree. They were then In an insulting
manner, ordered back to the close sultry
room, and told if they did not agree by
o'clock that evening they should re-
main imprisoned until they did agree.
Before the hour Of 9 O'Clock Saturday ev-
ening came, the only two Democratic
members OF the Jury were paid certain
sum Of money, and promised much lar
ger sum if they would agree with the
majority. Thinking that this would be a
sufficient cause to invahdate their verdict,
and wishing to get out of prison and away
from the heat and mosquitoes, they con-
sented TO a verdict. intending TO tell the
Judge all about it. When the hour of 9
o'clock Saturday night arrived everybody
was surprised to hear the jury had agreed.
When the verdict was announced these
two JHrymen wanted to explain, but
Judge Lynch, IN a most rude and inso-
lent manner. stopped them, and ordered
the gas to be put out. These Jurors hav-
ing no other alternative, have since made
afhdavits that they were bribed, and that
they only consented to the verdict to get
rid of tie torture of the mosquitoes, the
heat, and the confinement. 1t was un-
der these circumstances thatJ acob Hawk
ins got verdict against The Pieagntne
for SIS, 900.
