The transportation of alcohol from the
United States to Europe, which amounted to
about AZ 900 barrels in the year 1873, has now
dwindled down almost to nothing, and the
domestic trade is correspondingly depressed,
as a consequence of an inadequate demand
to meet the increased production. The dis
tillers attribute this change in the condition
of things to comparatively recent con-
struction of the law under which alcohol
had previously been exported.
John Henry, fine looking man, was
brought before the police justice, begging
to be sent to prison. John thus stated his
trouble: "I worked on the canal all sum-
mer, and got just $50. That kept me through
seven months, and when got discharged 1
had just SIG. That's gone, every cent, an
you've got to send me 70 the penitentiary
or I'll steal. I've been trying to get jobs,
and / can't get one. A feller's got to get
suthin' to eat, and it stands to reason ct

A good story is told OF an old farmer,
whose son had for long time been ostensi-

the course and conduct of the young hope
full, recalled him from school, and placing
him by the side OF a cart one day, thus adj
dressed him: "Now, Joseph, here is fork,
and there is heap of manure and cart;
what do you call them in Latin?" Fork

"Well, now," said the old man, cit you don't
take that forkibus pretty quickibus, and
pitch that manuribus into that cartibus, 1'll
break your id lazy backibus." Joseph
went to workibus forthwithibus.
The volcano of Mauna Loa, in Hawaii,
made brilliant display on the morning of
the 10th of January, before daylight. The
action began in the summit crater OF Mokua-
weoweo. "The heavens are aglow at night,
and grand pillar of cumulus clouds coro-
nate the mountain by day." writes an eye
witness. The summit chimney or crater of
Mokuaweoweo HAD been closed for
about eight weeks, during the latter
part of which time the earthquake
shocks had been increasing in

Mrs. Daniel G. Birdsell having failed to
pay 5000 due for rent, piano and some
oil paintings in the house were seized on
execution. Suit was brought in the Com
mon Pleas for 5000 damages by the hus-
band, it being urged that the property was
his. The case was on trial for two days be-
fore Judge S. f. Daily, when the parties
came to a settlement, the paintings to be re-
tanned until the 5000 was paid. Judge DAILY,
in directing the withdrawal of juror, said
that the case reminded him of an epitaph on
the headstone of child day and a hall
| old:
| II so soon was to be done for,
| L wonder what was begun for?
"You will consider that my charge in the
case" added the judge.
