1T Is announced that the defence has
decided to place Mrs, Tilton upon the
stand as a witness in the Beecher-Til-
ton trial; and that Judge Nelson has
determined to make no objection to
her testifying. 1t is said that she will
be called Immediately after Mr.. Beecber
leaves the stand. Whether or not she
will be allowed to give her evidence must
depend mainly upon the action of cthe
plaintiffs counsel. 1t is improbable,
however, that they will raise any seri-
GUS objections to the testimony of so
important witness. 3/e

GOLD IN THE CREEKs.-John Hoppin.
who resides at Canyon Creek station on
the Idaho road. about Sc miles north
of Winnemucca, while sinking well,
month or SO ago, found the color of
gold about twenty feet from the sur
face. He says that in all the creeks
above his house gold in small quauti-
ties may be obtained anywhere. The
streams flow from the Santa Rosa
range of mountains, and the opinion is
freely expressed that the range is preg-
nant with the precious metal. We are
informed that summer before last
several men were engaged in placer
digging in that neighborbood, and
made about "a q day. That gold exists
there can be no doubt, but whether in
paying quantities remains to be deter
mined. 1t is probable that were the
locality thoroughly prospected gold in
sufficient quantity TO pay wages, at
least, would be met with.

THIRST AT SEA.-Thirst on land is
bad enough, but thirst at sea, with
water everywhere, but not drop to
drink, is ten times worse. OF the
agony which it occasions we may
form some conception when we read,
as in the case of a late shlpwreck, of
the survivors of a boats crew greadily
drinking the blood of their dead COM
RAIDS. No one knows what his evil
fortune may one day bring him to en-
dure. For the benefit of the reader,
therefore, wesmake note of the fol-
lowing question put by the Board of
Trade Examiners to the candidates
for certificates of competency as
mates in the English merchant SER
vice: "What would you do in order
to allay thirst, with nothing but sea
water at hand ? The answer is,
"Keep the clothes, especially the
shirt, soaked with sea water" Drink
ing salt water to allay thirst drives
the sufferer mad but an external APP
plication oft gives relief, if it does
not satisfy the demands Of craving
nature. 1t is a pity that this simple
yet truly scientific remedy is known
to but few of those who tempt the
treacherous main.

Propagators of Disease.

The Pail Mall Gazette says :
"Among the many agents for the
spread of Infectious diseases are, it
seems, our domestic pets. For pro-
pagation of fever dog is sometimes
as bad, if not worse, than q drain, and
a case is referred to in the Sanitary
Record in which scarlet fever was
carried from one child to another by
favorite retriever. The dog had
been reared in house where scarlati
ma prevailed, and was subsequently
given to friend of the family. Short
ly after one of the children in the dogs
new home was attacked with malig
nant scarlntina and died Disipfec-
tants were used plentifully, and every
precaution taken to prevent recur-
renee of the malady, but in two
months time second child took the
same disease in its worst form,
and died. As the dog had been the
constant companion and playfellow of
these children, its woody coat, it is
alleged, became so charged with con-
tageous matter as to render it a source
of disease and death. Although it is
fair to the dog to admit that the child
rem may have caught the fever from
other sources than his woolly coat, yet
there is reason to fear that both dogs
and cats, especially the latter, do oc
casionally assist in the circulation of
Infectious illness, and where fever
prevails the sooner they are lodged
out of the house the better. They
are, however, probably not more
dangerous in this respect than books.
No one who takes up book from a
library ever troubles himself or her.

ume; it may have just left the hands

THE GREAT ScANDAL.-The Al
bang Lato Journal, referring to the
great scandal trial, says: "a more
indecent and demoralizing exhibition
was never beheld before or since the
flood. The parties are all sentiment
talists, of the most idiotic species.
The complainant, while holding his
wife up to public contempt and infamy
as an adulteress, avows and reiterates
that he believes her pure, "white-
souled" and stainless; the mutual
friend frankly admits that he persis-
tently lived for years to conceal the
detestable crime of a pretended
christian clergyman; the wife of the
mutual friend admits that when de-
PENDANT was confessing his adultery
to her, she, unsolicited kissed him oD
the forehead, and told him he was as
good man as there was. And a
series of so.called love letters be.
tween the complainant and his wife,
are read, so maudlin, SO extravagant,
so blasphemous, that the perusal
makes us doubt the sanity of the
writer. All this filthy stuff is printed
every day, and read all over the
country, by young boys and girls, by
pure women who would shrink from
the sight of the can can, by men who
would not 60 to theatre or kill cat,
and is talked about openly and rather
loosely by eminently respectable

PASTE 1T IN Your HAT. The fol-
lowing beautiful truths are from the,
pen of David Swing: "The great
world wide law of the Bible and of
reason, is that of perfect self.control.
Temperance of food and of drink and
of labor and of pleasure, are parts of
one great law, the law that reason
is placed upon throne, and thence
is to overlook the affairs of life, and
must set boundaries which the foot
may not pass. If Christ was sent to
earth to be an ideal of manhood, the
Son of Man, his perfect self-control
must embody the highest law and
destiny of our race. He came botla
eating and drinking, but His food and
drink were the perfect slaves of His
will. The mind was the power upon
the throne.

"that is the growl of bear; know
there are bears in this wood"
The bear was soon in sight. The
tall man ran short way and hid in a
tree The short man fell fiat on his
face on the ground and held his breath.
The bear came TO him, smelt him, and
thought he was dead. So he left him,
and with a gruff growl or two he went
on his way.
When the bear was out of sight The
short man rose from the ground, and
the tall man came down from the tree.
"What did the beast say to you, my
friend?" said the tall man to the short
one, 81 saw him put his mouth close

''He told me-" said the short man,

Irrigation the Conqucror OF the Grasshopper

From the Rocky Mountain News, Denver.
From Kansas comes the pitiful cry
for help, uttered by no less than 90
900 of her almost naked and starving
poor. How mournfulIy applicable
are those by-words bleeding Kan,
sas" n0W! Nor is this the first appeal
she has made to the sympathies of
generous nation. Not score of
years have passed since the same cry
sent forth with feeling of anguish
that only the starving know-pene>
trated the civilized world. And yet
never was Commonwealth so Landed;
vever were resources so persistently
heralded, and never were such fat
tering inducements held out by any
people for an increase in population as
have been in Kansas during the last
decade.
The uplands and valleys Of comedy
Nebraska are echoipg in most touch
ing tones the heartrending cry OF
their sister prairie State. Five thou
sand homes there have been made
no less desoate by the ravages of
the grasshopper and the blasting eff
fects summers drouth. From some
of the frontier settlements comes
the startling report that hundreds of
the half starved and nearly nude peo-
pie are endeavoring to make their
way to the Ststes beyond the Mis-.
sour river, there to throw themselves
upon the charity of more fortunate
citizens.
A large proportion of the most fer
tile lands of Missouri, Illinois and
other States was rendered practically
useless during the season just passed,
on account of lack of that moisture
which is here always ready to do the
bidding of our independent ranch
men, and often, IN times of greatest
drouth, is most plentiful on our swift
flowing streams and canals.
During the past three years | have
travelled extensively in the valleys
and foothills of Coronado, and, al
though the risky grasshopper has
been with US every year, | have yet

tier, as else here, but no case has
yet been recorded where they have

But | hear the crosker's cry Your
time will come yet; don't crow until
you are fairly out of the woods.
Let US grant this for the sake of ar
gument: but is it any reason why
we should complain now? Every
country has it's lowering sky at
times, but with our modest preten-
sions and almost unfaiing success,
should we not glance over our fair
Territory with peculiar feeling of
satisfaction and thankfulness in
these times of crying want and ter
rible desolation elsewhere?
Among the enchanting glens of
this Divide there is yet room for the

A QUEER DECIsEoN.-The case of
the State of Texas against couple
of youths for the theft of bushel of
onions was tried in our District Court
last week The proof was that the
onions, when taken by the boys, were
growing in the garden, and had not
been detached from the soil previous
to the taking. The State failed to
show that at any time after they had
been detached they had been out of
the possession of the defendants.
Hence it was held by the defendants,
and the position sustained by the
court, that while growing they were
part of the realty and not subject of
theft; that the moment they were de-
tached they were in the possession of
the defendant, and never were in the
possession of the owner from the time
they became personal property until
delivered to him by the defendants.
Hence they were acquitted under this
ruling, being simply guilty of trespass
on real property. TEXAS Exchange.
