"A st. Joseph county jury voted unan
imously to compel John Farnemau
give Kate Fuchs $4,000 ss fair com.
pensa'ion for breach of promise to marry
and for seduction. The defendant asked
the judge for new trial, but the case was
so clearly proosa that he refused.
MIR. George Edwards, of the firm Of
Dodge & Edwards, Parker House hotel
keepers, has gracefully retired from the
firm. Dodge is now running the Parker
House alone. Edwards is popular hotel
keeper-perbaps little too generous to
make money for himself
LosT.-Mr. Fleming had favorite fe.
male poodle dog which esstrxyed from
home, last Sunday week. She was black,
with white spot on the breast. Auy
person returning her TO him at the En-
pire House, or know of her whereabouts,
will be literally rewarded.
The Baxter temperance law is deci.
ded to be Unconstitutional in one particu-
lar. A man who gets drunk and is fined
for it, cannot be fined nor imprisoned for
failing to tell who sold him, or gave him
bis liquor. This is fortunate for the gen.
tleman who gracefully retired from a Sc
lect party with the wrong hat, one night
last week. 1t is hard to fix up temper
law in Indiana, that will agree with with
all constitutions.
Michigan City is not much in favor
of Wolf Lake harbor. An appropriation
for that " ork might cut down the amount
which should be spent in Michigan City.
There is good place for harbor, at
Wolf Lake, and owners of real estate in
that vicinity are anxious to have a few
thousands of Uncle Sans money squan.

benefit of the paper for about one year
md half. for which we will probably
get no pay. We are now hunting up all
such cases and disposing of them. We
have no desire to send the REPUBLICAN

worth all We ask for it. Nor do we de-
sire to send it to any person, Except in
special cases) who will not pay for it.
"A correspondent of one of the Chi
cago daily papers says, that Hon. Jasper
Packard's speech, which we published
two weeks ago, was never delivered In
Congress; but was written out, and per
mission given to have it appear in the
proceedings. We do not know whether
the assertion is true or not; but we do
know that it is common practice to print
speeches that were never spoken-and
they go to the public as though they had
been delivered in Congress. 1t is of no
to the public any way. Ev-
cry one acquitted with Mr.. Packard
knows that he could have made quite as
good speech in Congress.-an time
may have been saved for other business.
The South Bend Tribune has first
class correspondent under the nom de
plume of Malcolm Duncan, who writes
very interesting communication each
week. His head is particularly "level"
in his merited criticisms of Bret Harte as
a lecturer. We heard ''ye immortal poet"
in his lecture at South Bend last autumn,
where he was TO render Some Bad Peo-
pie with wonderful effect; but instead,
he told US the old story, The Argonauts
of 49," in a clear but quiet way. The
soul-stirring effect which marks his po-
ems was left in his sanctuns, or at least it
deserted him then, and we listened attcn-
lively for the point that never came.
We Will not "go back " on Bret Harte
with his pencil. but when he mounts the
rostrum he misses his calling and COM
mits grevious mistake; and to our mind
