A Funny Case.
marry,

Akron, Ohio, has a funny temperance
case. A rum-seller whom I will call Iii
Church, because he was high" most of
the time had been sued several times for
damage done by his rum on citizens of the
town. One man came out drunk and
smashed big glass window. He was too
poor to pay for it, and the owner came
against Church. A boy about sixteen got
drunk and let horse run away with him,
breaking his arm. His father made Church
pay the damage. A mechanic got drunk
and was killed on the, railroad track, and
his wife sued Church for 80, 900 and got it.
A farmer got drunk and was burned in his
barn on the hay. His son sued Church
and recovered. Church got sick Of paying
out SO much money for personal and prop
erty damages. 1t ate up all the rum7seller's
profits. Still he acknowledged the law to
be a statute, and that it made him respon-
sible for all the damages done by his rum.
He used to argue, also, that sometimes his
rum did people good, and then he said
he ought to receive something back.
One day lawyer Thompson got to drink
ing. Thompson was mean, like many other
lawyers, and when he died of the deliriuB
trsmsns there wasn't much mourning in
Akron. There wasn't anybody who cared
enough for Thompson to sue Church for
damage done. So, one day, Church went
before the court himself. ..d

Who Tom Married.

WV e had just finished breakfast. Tom
w laid down the egg-spoon he had
been playing with, and looked across at
mother. att

these years we have lived so comfortably
together to bring home somebody to turn
the house upside down And then what's
to become of that poor childp"
The "poor child''---that was I-redden-

this way, was about to speak for herself
when Tom interposed, warmly.

A Turkish State Funeral.

Reporting the funeral of the late Hal
il Pasha, the Leyant Times says:
The interment of the late grand mas
ter of artillery did not take place at the
early hour which had been fixed by the
family. On receiving tidings of the
shocking event, the Sultan, who had
high personal regard for the deceased,
directed that the funeral should be post
poned. in order that it should be per
formed witn all the hOnOrs due to the
Pasha's rank and merits. His majesty
also gave orders that the deceased should
be buried in the turbeh adjoining the
Tophaneh mosque, next to the resting
place of the Sultan's late brother-in-law
Mehemet Ali, Capudan Pasha. The
pOstponement also enabled a number OF
the deceased's colleagues and friends to
pay the last mark of respect TO him. A
regiment of artillery and regiment OF
infantry, and military band, accompa-
MED his remains from his residence at
Nishan-Tash to to the Mosque at To-
phaneh, followed all the way by great
number Of people, Musslemans fand
Christians, the route being kept by
body of Zaptiehs. The deceased was, as
is the Moslem custom, carried in plain
and roughly put together deal coffin,
with pyramid shaped lid, covered with a
Cashmere shawl, his feZ being placed at
the head of the coffin. The chief mour-
ners appeared to be the deceased's sons
! in-law.
The bearers changed every moment.
| hundreds of persons constantly pressing
| forward to assist in carrying the coffin,
which was considered alike privilege
and duty among the faithful. When
/ the body was carried into the mosque
yard it was placed in front of the
| mosque. on a box covered with a Turk
4 ish rug. and it was left there while the
! followers went into the mosque To pray
! ers. 1t was an hour and half before
! they came out of the mosque. The man
then offered up prayer in the open air
| over the body, all the Mussulmen pres
ent joining, silently, and concluding
/ with the "Amin," pronounced in low
mummur. The priest.then repeated some
/ verses of the Koran, in a loud voice,
1 the multitude, after each verse, eJaculat-
! ing s'Amin, in the same manner. After
/ this ceremony, which lasted about five
! minutes. the coffin carried into the
mosque burial ground and placed
! alongside the grave. The lid was
/ then removed, but all that was visible 10
the bystandcrs was a body swathed in
white linen, the hands, which rested on
cotton wool, being alone exposed to
view. After the coffin-without the
lid-was lowered into the grave-a black
vault about six feet deep-the imam de
scended also, and removed the covering
from the face and breast. The features
were not at all disfgured, and the only
marks perceiyable were a bruise under
one ear and another on the shoulder.
-Four large stones having been laid over
! the vault and the melancholy ceremony
is terminated. All the imperial ordnance
factories were closed for the day, and
the workmen were among the attendants
at the funeral.

SAD DENISE. suicide and burial
of Curley-Headed Jack was a tragedy
which possessed many rude dramatic
features. As soon as he had inflicted
the chastity wound in his head his moth
er and female friends gathered around
him and set up a dismal bowling, smear
ING themselves with his blood and try
ing by all the mystic arts known TO
them 10 save his life Outside his tent
stood Bogus Charley, Hooker Jim,
Shack-Nasty Jim and others of the Cot
tonwood tribe, who had been the dying
warriors lifelong companions, affected
to tears. while the women shrieked and
tore their hair and would not be COM
forted. Captain Jack and his adherents,
however, who looked upon the Cotton
woods as traitors, chatted and laughed
as usual. occasionally throwing a glance
of scornfuI indifference at the mourning
group. There was such commotion
as soon as life left the warrior that Col.
Mason insisted upon his burial al once.
The body was wrapped in blanket,
with as much martial modesty as was
that of Sir John Moore, and so laid IN
the grave. The fatal pistol, which his
friends thought would be useful in kill
ing game on his way TO the happy hunt
ing grounds, was placed near bis heart.
An his property, consisting of clothing,
trinkets and a new half dollar, was tum-
bled into the grave with him. Before
the body was covered Hooker Jim was
scudding through the camp in state OF
great agitation. He vas owing the SUI
eide -, and he had in his possession
seventy-five cents in coin and a 3
greenbaclx. lie had doubts about the
latter being legal tender IN the country
to which Curley-Headed Jack had gone,
and peace reigned in his breast only af-
ter he had received coin for his note and
deposited the amount ia the grave.
Some Indian -four being put in for his
spiritual sustenance the grave was
closed.

Man KILLED. A FrenChman named
Joseph Masse was instantly killed yes
terday morning at Winoosl1i, under the
following circumstances A train, mixed,
we believe, was coming from Essex
Junction, and running at rapid rate to
make Burlington. AT Winoosh an en-
gine on a side track was running in an
opposite direction. The deceased, who
had long been teamster in the employ
of a woolen company at Winooski, had
just driven up to the. crossing and halted
to let the engine on the side track pass,
not noticing the train, drawn by the
Bethel" which was approaching on
the track on which he had stopped.
The engine struck his wagon, taking
it clear from the horse, and he was
thrown forward and directly under the
wheels, being almost instantly killed. A
boy who was with him was hurled for
ward quite distance and clear of the
track, and though very severely injured
will probably live. No blame attaches
to the engineer of the Bethel, as he
whistled for the crossing, again when he
saw the man, and also reversed, but too
late to be able to stop the locomotive.
The unfortunate man was worthy cltl-
zen, some sixty-fveyeaes of age and had
a large family. One or two of his sons
live or have lived in Rutland.

DELIBERATE MUEDER BY A Boy
Our Maine exchanges, in commenting
upon the shooting affair at Madison
Bridge, Somerset county, a short time
since, say that il was evidently a case of
willful murder The facts given, in adj
dition to those already published m The
,y0urnuL. are as follows:
The boy, whose name is Bertie Dofse,
took the gun that the brother Of the girl,
Alice Spear. had loaded for crows, put
II through the window and pointed II at
Alice, who was standing at the corner
of the shed at the back of her fathers
house, only short distance from the
boy. Dorse told tie neighbor's children
who gathered about the premises, 20 get
out of the way, as he was going TO
shoot Alice. He fired and the little girl
dropped dead without a grOan or cry
Twenty shots entered her right side and
some entered her neck. Dorse is spok-
en- of as a boy of most violent temper.
He has often threatened TO take the
lives of his playmates, and has been
known to draw a. knife upon child OF
about his own age. He has had his
preliminary examination and been COM
mitted TO Jail to await trial at the Sep
tember term of the court. The girl was
about fourteen and the boy about sixteen
years of age.

[From our Special Reporter
Burglary at Brandon.
DOLLARS WORTH OF PROPERTY TAKEN
TINE AND PLACE-THE ROBBERS ESCAPE.


The usually quiet village of Brandon
was thrown into state of excitement
yesterday morning by the intelligence of
the discovery ola daring and successful
burglary at the store of Mr.. Chas. M.
Whitaker, dealer in watches and jewel
ry, Simonds block. The facts, as near
as we can gather them are as follows /:
The store in which the burglary was
committed is occupied on one side by
Mr.. Whitaker, with watches and jewel
ry, and on the other by Mr.. Robt.
Forbes, with drugs and medicines. The
store was closed as usual on Wednesday
night, and when the clerks reached it
next morning, they found the front door
bOlted on the inside, and upon trying the
back door found that fast also, having
been sprung together by some person or
persons in passing out.
Mr.. Whitaker fwas at once notified,
and an entrance effected through a WIN
dow, when it was found that the safe

entire contents, valued at about five
thousand dollars. A box containing
watches left for repairing was carried
into the cellar and there opened and
every watch taken.
The safe is nearly ruined, the cXplo-
sion entirely destroying the door, hinges
and front, tearing out portion Of the
counter and leaving the stain Of powder
on the partition adjoining. A stone
cutters mallet and a few iron punches
are the only tools found, and it is
thought that those were taken from a
marble shop not very far away.
The job was evidently performed by
/ experts. as its execution shows famiiari-
tv with the details of the business.
The partition of a satchel was found
among the rubbish aboutthe safe-prob-
ably torn out to facilitate the packing OF
the plunder-but no other clue to the
perpetrators whatever has turned up.
/ OF course every effort is being made tC
ascertain the whereabouts of the villains,
and a rcwaId of $500 is offered fOl

cess.

be supposed that the Interior Depart
ment would not submit to it. The law
requires house to be erected on each
quarter section of land. The cunning
fellows interested in this experiment
have really but quarter of a house
upon each quarter section, and yet Mr..
Delano decides that this is sufficient, and
that quarter of house is, in the Land

has tendency to encourage frauds upon
the government, and is such one as
spectators in land will greatly approve.
