YOU At this juncture, officers Lyman, Burke,
Price, Sergeant Daily, and several others came
in and we took the men down. On searching
the wounded man, we found pair of brass
knuckles. large open knife, bunch of about
twenty keys, and some other articles. The
other man had nothing to amount to anything.
He was locked up, while his wounded com
nanion was taken in IN ambulance To the dis
pcnsary. At the dispensary the prisoner gave
his name as Frank Rande, his age at - years,
and said he came here from the east, arriving
last night. When asked where lie lived, he re-
uuested his listeners 10 go to hell. He said he
was game, and had gotten in his work before
they could put the rope around his neck, ANA
that was satisfaction enough for him.
On subsequent examination, Randc was
found with bullet hole in the left breast, about
an inch outside the nipple, and another in the
left leg Just above the knee. He was taken to
the City Hospital, and at last accounts was still
alive.
The officer White was removed TO his home,
having nearly blci to death from loss OF blood,

How a $40 Bill Paid $50 Debts.

Mr.. Brown kept boarders. Around
his table sat Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown,
Mrs. Andrews, the village milliner; Mr..
Black, the baker; Mr.. Jordan, car
penter; and Mr.. Hadley, flour, feed,
and lumber merchant.
Mr.. Brown took out of his pocket
book $40 note, and handed it to Mrs.
Brown, saying:
"Here, my dear, are $40 toward the
800 promised you"
Mrs. Brown handed it to Mrs. An
drews, the milliner, saying:
THAT pays for my new bonnet"
MRS. Andrews said to Mr.. Jordan, as
she handed him the note:
"That will pay for your work on my
counter
Mr.. Jordan handed it to Mr.. Hadley,
the -four, feed and lumber merchant, re-
questing his lumber bill.
Mr.. Hadley gave the note back to Mr..
Brown, saying:
"That pays $40 on board.''
Mr.. Brown passed it to his wife with
the remark that that paid her the 800 he
had promised. She in turn paid it to
Mr.. Black to settle her bread and pastry
account, who handed it to Mr.. Hadley,
wishing credit for the amount on his
flour bill, he again returning it to Mr..
Brown, with the remark that it settled
for that months board. Whereupon
Mr.. Brown put it back into his pocket
book, exclaiming s'that he never thought
$40 bill would go SO far.'
Thus a $40 greenback was made to
pay $50 Indebtedness inside of five min
utes. Who says greenbacks are worth
less Laramie Sentinel.

The Elephants Trunk.

Culver tells US the trunk of the ele-
phant is composed of forty thousand, or
more, small muscles, interlaced in all
directions, the contraction and relaxa-
ton of which enable the animal to
shorten or lengthen its trunk, and rem
der it SO flexible. 1t is perforated
through its entire length by double
tube, through which the animal breathes
and drinks. At the end of the trunk is
little finger-like appendage which
serves to pick up small objects, and also
acts as feeder. With this wonderful
instrument, as with a hand, the elephant
can pick up needle or tear up a tree,
twist the heritage from the ground, or
strip the young branches or leaves from
the trees upon which he feeds.

terribly tortured by the corn. also
had large wart, right in the palm of
my left hand, that was very much in my
way and at times very painful. used
various remedies in vain. In August l
hit upon a cure for both. 1t was a
simple application of wood (hickory)
ashes and strong cider vinegar sufficient
to moisten. l Kept it on So hours more,
when l found all pain had ceased, both
being entirely destroyed. then could
wear my boot, and by a small applica-
ton every night of beef tallow in one
month all the hard substance that had
formed around the corn had been re-
moved. There is now no trace left of
either corn or wart.''

Popular MisinformatiOn About Paris
Green.

State Assayer HAYES, of Massachu-
sets, publishes warning against the
use of Paris green for the destruction of
potato bugs. He says that there is dam
ger, in the common mode of digging
potatoes, that the poisoned earth may
adhere to the tubers, and through lack
of careful washing before using, prove
fatal. He also speaks of the danger at
tending the presence of poison in the
household.
In regard to these cautions Prof. Chad
Ter, President of the Board of Health,
says: There is Just as much danger
in having Paris green in house as there
is in having a loaded revolver, or any
other deadly weapon. 1t does not
poison the potatoes, but it would inn
pregnate with poison lettuce or salad
that is to be eaten raw, and therefore
too much care can not be taken in its
use, and every precaution should be
taken to prevent it being deposited by
the wind on other plants. The subject
has been discussed by the Board of
Health, and it has been decided that of
the two evils, Paris green and potato
bugs, the former is less, and therefore
we have sent out no warning against its
use. We have, however, strictly pro-
hibited its sale at retail in the city. /
do not consider its use so dangerous but
that the unchecked ravages of the bug
would be infinitely more SO.
The ordinary Paris or imperial green
which is used in the war against the
bugs is scientifically an acetO arsenite of
copper. 1t is the same green commonly
supposed to be so dangerous when used
in coloring wall paper. In Watts
Chemical Dictionary this popular su-
perstitiOn is treated as follows:
This compound is much used as a
pigment, on account of its splendid green
color. A great deal of needless alarm
has lately been excited about the sup
posed deleterions effects of this pigment.
1t is extensively used for staining wall
papers, and persons inhabiting rooms
thus prepared are said to have had their
health seriously deranged by the arseni-
cal fumes evolved from it. Now, it is
utterly impossible that arsenic should
volatilize from such . compound at or
binary temperatures. 1t does not de-
compose at any Temperature below red
ness. The only way in which danger
could arise from the use of paper stain
ed with an arsenical color is that parti-
cles of the compound might be brushed
off in busting the paper, and thus be-
come mixed with the air of the apart
ment; but it is not in this way that the
supposed accidents are said to have oc-
cured. The panic has arisen from
mistaken notion as to the volatility of
the arsenic. That the use of the pig
ment is not really dangerous may be
safely inferred from the fact that NO bad
effects are experienced by the workmen
engaged in its manufacture.

New Farms Started Within q Year.

Does any one know how many new
farms were opened in the States and
Territories last year; how many log
cabins have been built; how many
acres of virgin soil plowed up for the
first time? 1t is not probable that any
one does know with eXactness, but there
is little table in the report of the Sec
rotary of the Interior, presented to Con-
gress some time ago, which furnishes
the material for an approximately cor
rect answer to these questions, During
the year ending with June last, there
were taken up under the homestead law
1875, 909 acres. New land taken I'D
under the homestead law is for actual
cultivation, and is generally taken in
lots of 160 acres. 1t would appear,
therefore, that more than 1900 new
farms were commenced last year, under
the homestead law alone. But this is
not all. There were sold during the
year GAG, 1861 acres for cash, and 1871 $40
acres were allotted on military land
warrants. It is, no doubt, true that a
portion of these 778,331 acres were
bought or entered by other than actual
settlers, by spectators, or by persons
who made investments of this nature
for future purposes. Itwould be fair to
estimate, however, that one-half of the
77S, 1881 acres were purchased or entered
for the purpose of immediate settle
ment or cultivation; and this calcula-
ton would give up 2, 433 more new farms
of 160 acres each. There were also
p, 048 acres entered upon the Sioux and
Chippewa half-breed strip, and 6O7, 1884
acres taken up under the Timber-cul-
ture law. Leaving these two latter
items out of the calculation, we have an
aggregate of about 1880 new farms
commenced during the year. This
means Is, 800 new homes. In five years
from now these 1880 farms, under
good management, ought to produce
annually some 10000, 600 bushels of
wheat, some 46, OOO, 600 bushels of corn,
and some 40O, 900 head of cattle or swine
making provisions for more than
enough to furnish meat and bread for
New York City for whole year.-Bal-
