that although he believes in temperance, he Is
not in sympathy with what is commonly known
as Temperance Reform He Is opposed TO the
advocacy Of total abstinence. and considers the
selling Of rum and other stimuiants legitimate

The charge made against llENRy BERGH
that he has plagari1ed from an English author
the play just brought cut in his name, Is met by
the claim that BERGH wrote his play many years

MOTIONS Two Puddlefoots was produced IN
Lonlon. or course, IrRGH will now have TO
furnish evidence OF the prior authorship Of his
work, for the charge Of plagiarism Is one to
which no man Of becoming pride can submit.
There have lately been several controversies
about the originality of some other plays, but
the most interesting is In regard t. the one
called "Washngton - and the question Is
whether MARTIN f. UPPER plaglarzed from an
American claimant, or the American claimant
from UPPER. In deciding such disputes, there
would be work enough for literary court in

to accuse TUPPER HOLLAND Of pIagiarizing his
play OF " Sevenoaks."

A singular murder trial has just
been concluded in Illinois, with the
acquittal of the defendant, who WAS
a woman. Eighteen months ago the
prisoner married Peter Nelson
They lived happily together for q
year or so, when the home was iRya-
ded by man named Peter Wickland,
who, by his persuasive manners, won
the good will of Mrs. Nelson,eand
alienated her from her husband.---
Acting under the influence Of Wick
lands advice, and prompted by her
hatred toward her husband, on tho
night of the 9th Of January, Mrs.
Nelson attacked her husband with
an AK as he lay upon lounge
sleeping.
She struck him upon the head sew
enteen times with the AK, several Of
the blows being sufficient alone to
have caused instant death, and then
cut his throat from ear to ear. She
carried the body into the road, over
Que hundred feet from the house, and
returning, gathered together the
bloody clothes, and placing them in
q tub of water, removed them to the
cellar. She then lay down upon the
lounge, where she remained until q
neighbour, who had discovered the
]dead body in the road, called and EN-
tered the house. When questioned
as to the cause of her husbands
death, she related the above facts
without eyincing the least emotion
or concern in reference to the atroci-
| ty. She was arrested on the charge
of murder, and her trial, which was
concluded last week, occasioned
wide sensation.
The only plea that could be made
by the defense was that of insanity.
After the examination of the wit
nesses established the fact of the
homicide, medical experts were in
troduced by the defense to show the
state Of her mind. A large number
Of physicians give it as theia opinion
that the woman was insane, basing
their judgment on the atrocious
cold blooded manner in which the
deed was done, as we'll as the seem
4 ing unconcern Of the prisoner to hide
her crime. This testimony was the
argument the counsel used in tho
defense of the woman, and the jury,
after celebrating twenty-o one hours,
brought iu a verdict Of not guilty.
Shortly after the announcement OF
the verdict the prisoner gave birth
to a bouncing boy.-[New York

Two GLASSES OF CoNvERsERs.-
Around and above all other distinc
tions, there are two great classes of
conversers; those who make you feel
that you are Of some account in the
world, and those who have a subtle
way Of convincing you that you have
no right to exist. The latter class is
small in number; but what they lack
in quantity, they make up in sting.
Sometimes they are gifted with a
shary tongue and an unerring faculty
Of saying the most grinding things.
Sometimes they are apparently suaye
and considerate in manner and
phrase. But in either case, you &C
away from them with feeling that
the world is stuffed with sawdast
that you yourself are az imbeciie ane
an imposter. 1t may take days TO
you to recover your proper standing
with yourself. Then, you ask you
soul what fatal gift has the torment
or, which carries with it this powe
of making his fellow-mortals misera
bic, you discover that it is the gift Q
selfshness. The person to whor
you have been talking is ungenerou:

You can not come near such a
one without receiving somethin

A Cleveland drummer was in Ely
ria few Sundays ago, and while sit
ting in his room heard, from the noxt
room, the mysterious question and
answer:
Whose duckey are you?''
"I'se your duckey.
I A few moments passed, during
which the drummer sat in open
mouthed wonder, and the silence was
again broken;
"Whose duckey are your
Use your duckey."
Unable to stand it much longer
alone the Clevelander hurried down
10 the Office, learned that newly
married couple were in the house, in
vited three other drummers to hear
the fun, and tiptoed back to his
room. The wicked quartet cramn1ed
their handkerchiefs in their mouths,
and during the next quarter Of an
hour heard that fond conundrum put.
and answered no less than four times
by the unconscious rustic and bis
blushing bride.
At dinner, as luck would have it,
the bride and groom were seated be-
tween two Of the drummers, while
the original dsscoverer Of the bonan-
"a sat opposite. The table had been
cleared Of the substantials, and or.
ders for dessert had been given. At
that moment spirit of mischief
took entire possession Of the, Cleve-
lander. Leaning across Tie table, he
+ looked archly at his nearest friend,
: and in dulcet tones. propoupded the
conundrum:
r "Whose duckey are you?'
/ The other CHAP was equal to the
# emergency, and, in tones Of affected
d sweetness, got in his answer:
;, ~ "I'se your duckey!'

NEW YORK, Dec. Upon the seizura Of
Edward Roche's Illicit distillery, saturday,
over 50, 0o0 worth OF property and A. barrels
OF spirits were found, all Of which were left

street, and four i'm the Illicit distilery itself,
which il located on the other side OF The way
but which communicates with the former
building. The marShals remained az their
post during the carly part OF the evening, but
about 10 O'Clock some OF them went 10 sup
per, the others anticipating no disturbance
and those in as were setting around the stove
when tumult arose in the rear. The police
were called in, when hands outside liked A
paddock 10 the door and locked the whole
party in. Then the streets swarmed with
men, and an entrance was effected into the
dlstillery, the marshal ON duty was abused /,
and the barrels of spirits carried of before his
eyes. Other nlarshals returning 10 their posts
were hurried into alleys and hall ways by
bands OF roughS, and held there till the re-
moval of the liquor had been effected. Then
the,whole crowd disappeared as quickly a. &C.
had gathered, and when A police force ar
rived they found not a soul upon the street
