CHINESE HARTSHORN.

Some Of the wonderful virtues of Chinese
pharmacy were lately developed and explained
before San Francisco court, A Chinese
apothecary had pair of deer's antlers stolen
out of his shop, and the thief was caught with
the property in his possession. The robber
was Chinaman, too, and it seems he was
after the antlers and nothing else. He knew
their virtue AS we'll as the apothecary, and
risked his liberty to possess them. The owner
of those horns stated that they were worth
$50. They did not look it, and an inquiry
into the secret of their value was made in
court. The explanation is rather curious, and
involves Chinese secret of pharmacy. The
apothecary stated that to produce the medi-
cinal quality in the horns, the deer had to be
chased until he fell from exhaustion, at which
time the blood had become so active as to
ccurse through the antlers, and permeate
them with its boiling essence.
The deer is then killed and the horns re-
moved Immediately, containing oil the essen
tial properties of blood and life. The horns
are then cut and ground to powder, and dis
solved in some liquid and used as required
The particular pair under discussion before
the court contained the curative quality SO
strong as to knock the venom out Of disease
at sight, and the owner believed they could
eradicate "all the ills that flesh is heir to" in
San Francisco, if they had half a chance. The
Chinese thief knew this, and his theft was the
grandest kind of larceny The Judge who
heard the case very solemnly inquired if the
ultimate preparation of the medicine were not
Chinese harris horn. The medicine man
blandly replied: 80 deer no." That settled
it. The culprit was held to answer for grand
larceny before the grand jury.

The Tower of London is locked up every
night at II o'clock. As the clock strikes that
hour the yeoman porter, clothed in long
red cloak, bearing a huge bunch of keys, and
accompanied by a warder carrying a lantern,
stands at the front of the main guard house
and calls out. escort keys" The sergeant
of the guard and five or six men then turn
out and follow him to the outer gate, each
sentry challenging as they pass with "Who
goes there?" the answer being "Keys. "
The gates being carefully locked and barred
the procession returns, the sentries exacting
the same explanation and receiving the same
answer as before. Arrived once more at the
front of the main guard house, the sentry
gives loud stamp with his foot and asks,
"Who goes there?" "Keys" Whose
keys?" "Queen vietoria's keys" "Ad-
vance Queen Victorias keys and all's we'll :"
The yeoman porter then calls out, "God
bless Queen Victoria" To which the guard
responds "Amen." The officer on duty
gives the word, present arms" and kisses
the hilt of his sword, and the yeoman porter
then marches alone across the parade and de-
posts the keys in the lieutenant's lodgings.

CONFIDENCE IN HUMAN NATURE.
HOW IT WAS BETRAYED.

Confidence IN human nature is failing
with many people, and when it runs into the
extreme, implicit faith, it is sure to be taken
advantage of by some cool and calculating
member of this worlds people, who, lacking
all belief themselves, cannot appreciate or
understand it in others.
She was q lady from the country, and gen.
orally considered of sound mind and body.
but she would do it-she would rely on man,
and the penalty was more than paid in the
awakening to the fact that such trust as hers
could be betrayed.
The circumstances have all been made
known in plaintive appeal to justice as rep
resented by the learned Judge that fills the
bench in one of Justices temples, known as
the - Court.
Wouan's wrongs and mans depravity are
laid bare.
She relates il her prayer that in 1868, when
she was o mEden, she advanced to him the
sum of $500 to erect . house on a certain
piece of property of which he was the owner,
with the understanding that ON its completion
tkey should DE married, and should Jointly
own and occupy it. To show his good faith
he procured marriage license which he gave
| into her keeping. He also made free with the
timber on a piece Of property belonging t.
her, had it cut and eocketed the proceeds, and
yet he never married her.
She thinks that $4,000 damages for the
breach of promise, q lien on the house for the
amount advanced, and the money received foa
the timber, will sooth her anguished heart
He pleads in his answer no cause for actor
and rrescnptioa-
The case is travelling on its merits.

THE RETURNING BOARD.
A Committee Of Citizens to be Present at
the Counting Of the Votes.

Yesterday at about 10 o'clock, the mem
hers of the Returning Board commenced to
assemble. and at 1890 they were all on hand,
Tom Anderson included, with the exception
of Louestreet. whose non-arrival delayed the
call to order until 1850 o'clock, when he put
in an appearance
Anderson had been duly qualified some
two hours previous, Judge Atocha administer
ing the oath.
After the meeting was declared ready for
business, Mr.. F. Zachsrie, as one of two
counsel (the other being Mr.. Fergus Fuselier)
for Hon. J. C. Moncure, presented their
power of attorney to represent him, and
claimed under the last clause of the third
section the right to do SO, and as his repre-
sentative TO be present at the count and COM
pilation Of the vote.
Wells went into q cross-examination, all
tending to ascertain if the object of the gen.
tlemer in being present was not to supervise
the action of the board .-..
Nj Zacharie assured him that it was merely
to guard the interests Of the NJ. Moncure.
There might arise in the count of the vote,
something that would initiate against them
and it was for the purpose of having voice
us.der suck circumstances that had actuate6
1hem in masking the application.
After some further talk, Anderson asked u =
would not be just IS satisfactory if the Board
should agree to allow committee OF three,
appointed by the Democratic State Central
Committee,
To BE PRESENT
during the sessions of the Board.
He made the suggestion to facilitate matters,
becarse if Mr.. Moncure was allowed repre-
sentation all the other candidates could de-
mand the same right. It would be better to
hare comm ittee representing all the candi-
iates.
Mr. Zacharie said that it would be satistac-
t,ry he had no doubt
The board agreed to allow the committee to
be present, and at the request Of Mr. Zacharie
time was granted for the making Of the ap-
pointments, Mr.. Wells, of his own motion,
giving until 10 o'clock this morning.
The board then went into executive session.
On the executive session being raised the
board adjourned until 10 o'clock to-day.

Considerable sums Of money changed hands
in this city on the result Among the far
seeing lucky ones is Major Shoemaker, who

amount from Sheridan Shook, the manager
of the Charlotte Thompson company, that
performed at the National last week An en-
thusiastic admirer of Gen. Dix, q clerk in the
War Department, lost $500, also on Dir. The
most cleaned out fellows, however, were the
Treasury clerks who bet heavily on the sue

within the last few days the Government pen
drivers were certain of the reelection of Dix,
and put up their bottom dollars on that gen.
tleman. Two in the First Auditors Office
We're cleaned out. Quite number of Penn

paid over this morning, they only could con-
sole themselves by signing as they witnessed
the disappearance OF their currency.

OUT AT LAST.
HENRY PEMBERTON RELEASED.

Mr.. Henry Pemberton, who has been con-
fined in the Parish Prison for some months
past, on the commitment Of Judge Macarthur,
of the First Municipal Court, to await a re-
QUESTION from the parish of Franklin, was
yesterday released on + writ of habeas corpus,
granted on the application Of his counsel, W.
T. Whitaker, Esq, by Judge Saucier, Of the
Sixth District Court.
During the trial of the Grant Parish case,
Pemberton was arrested in Mississippi, as
being connected with the events that led to it,
and brought to this city, on a warrant issued
for H. Permission.
He was released on bonds, but was inn
mediately re-arrested as Harry Pemberton, on
the charge of the murder Of Judge Crawford
and District Attorney Harris, in Franklin
parish, eeferred by brother of the deceased
Crawfol6
He was arraigned before Judge Macarthur,
who, in default of $1,000 bond, remanded
him to the Parish Prison, to await, as above
stated a requisi ton from the Court Of
Franklin.
1t would appear that Crawford entirely
forgot the matter, for no requisition has been
received.
Pemberton, on his release, Immediately
made his arrangements and left the city,
fearing renewal of the persecution if the
fact that he was out became known to his
enemies

The SECRETARY OF WAR RkYUsKs Ord
NANCE FOB A DEMOCRATIC SALurE.-t has
been the custom of the War Department to
loan to responsible parties battery for the
purpose of firing salutes, which are not always
OF political character Yesterday some
leading Democrats called upon the Secretary
of War to get his consent to loan of ordi-
nance, and were informed that he had adopted
new rule and should refuse the request.
The only harm the visitors wished the Secre-
tary was that he might remain in Office long
enough to be able to refuse similar request
two years hence. A battery will arrive to-
morrow from Baltimore, and the salute in
honor Of the victory will be fred sufficiently
near the White House to remind the Presi-
dent OF what has recently happened to Caesar

AN ANECDOTE OF THE ELDER BENNETT.
From the N. Y. SUM-

A correspondent sends us q good story of
James Gordon Bennett, the elder. few
months after Andrew Johnson had become
President he sent for Gen. James B. Steed-
man, Of Ohio, to come to Washington. He
was anxious, he told the Gene al, to learn
what course the New York Herald would pur-
sue in dealing with his Administration, and
whether it intended to support him in the
controversy with Congress which was then
looming on the horizon. Bennett was still in
control of the Herald and it's vigor and influ-
ence we're greater than ever. Gen. Steedman
came to New York, and found the editor at
his house at Fort Washington. Stating his
mission, he was received very cordially, and,
after long conversation, as the General rose
to take his leave, "Ten Andy Johnson" said
Nh. Bennett, "the first thing necessary to be
done is to change his whole Cabinet A
change would promise improvement The
people would approve of it. Tell johnson to
do this, and he may be sure of the hearty
support of the Herald"
Every one who knew Mr. Bennett can ina
CINE the funny twinkle Of the eye tn which
this ultimatum was delivered, as well as the
OF Steedman at such message.
But johnson did not see it, and the result
was the most bitter contest in our political
history, ending with his impeachment and
trial. and his departure from Office with
scarcely friend left.

Father Bleeson, for many years . traveller
among the Modoc and other Indian tribes,
delivered discourse in New York on the 9Th
inst, on the subject, "Why the Indians killed
Candy and Thomas" He said that the Indi-
ans have fallen into the hands of robbers, and
out of the 400 treaties made with them, not
one had been kept all have been broken by
the Government. He said that the Indians
believe in exact justice they do not know the
value of the gospels teachings, when it says,
Return goodfor evil" This was the belief
of Captain Jack and his tribe-to avenee the
death Of an Indian by the death of the MUIR
derer.
He said that for twenty years treaties of va
rious kinds had been made with Captain Jack,
but not one had been kept by the Govern
ment; SO that the Modocs came to believe that
it was not the intention of the whites to main
tain the provisions Of any treaties that might
be made. In the midst of their tract of land
was lake Astounding with fish and with fer
tile land surrounding it. But the white men
coveted it, and after years of persuasion the
Indians at last consented to cede it to the
United States under treaty which promised
to furnish them blankets and provisions. AZ
ter vainly attempting to get what the treaty
promised they returned to this lake, but found
the whites settled there. They asked leave to
share the products ofthe place with the settlers.
This was denied them. Armed soldiers were
sent there to dislodge them. but the Indians
proved victorious, and the arms they captured
enabled them to fight the United States for
several months. Then began a war against
the Modocs, who numbered about sixty, in
Guiding women and children. At last treaty
of peace was proposed, and Gen. Candy
and Messrs Thomas and Meacham were the
commissioners. Captain Jack agreed to treat
with the commissioners if the army was with
drawn. This was agreed to, but Gen.
Candy broke the agreement by having his
army surround the place. Captain Jack,
seeing that the agreement was broken, deter
mined to avenge the numerous murders of
the members of his tribe by the whites
Canbv said he kne he was going to his death,
as he was fully aware of the determined char
acter of the Indians. The Indians killed them
because they imagined that if captured, as
they thought they would be, they would be
hanged.

Some industrious statistician pretends to
have discovered that the average weight of
all humanity is round hundred pounds In
this computation is included men and women,
boys and girls, and babies Of all nations, kin
dreds, tongues and peoples. The same indie
faigable cipherer finds out that the average
weight Of boys at birth is little more than
seven pounds, and of girls little less. There
is very little difference in the weight OF the
sexes until the twelfth year is passed, and
then the boys begin to take the lead. Young
men of 20 average 1876 pounds, and young
women ITO. Men are heaviest at 40 years
say lao pounds avoirdupois. Women increase
in weight until SO. when they pull down 100.
but bodily weight has nothing to do with the
woman question in any of its bearings. The
relative Fl of beauty and the beast will be
decided mother standard. The matter Of
meat inselved in these figures is entirely for
eign to the real weight of men and women.
