Perkins, San Francisco broker,
bought two of Prof. Bells telephones,
and made a connection between his
office and the parlor. He thought 1t
would be pleasant to converse with his
wife when business was slack, to in
from her when he would go to dinner,
and to learn how often his son fell
down the cellar stairs during the day.
One day he was conversing with his
wife about a new bonnet, when bro
ker came in to ask about some stock.
He ''telephoned" to his wife that he
was busy, and without severing con-
nection with the instrument turned to
the broker and opened net o iations for
the purchase of JrlIa, Lady Byron and
other stocks. Mrs. Perkins, at the
other end of the line, listened intently,
and finally caught her husbands
words: 'I'll take Julia at six thirty"
Her suspicious were aroused; there
Was a woman in the case; she burst
into an animated soliloquy, which the
faithful telephone carried to the ears
of her husband and his customer. "I'll
julia him wretch villain married
fifteen years where's my rubbers -
just wait till l get hold of him."
These words, together with miscella-
neous tokens of COMMISSIONS and racket,
denoted active preparations for sOrtie
upon his office. Perkins broke off his
stock negotiations and went home to
appease his wife. The instruments
were subsequently removed.

the ground that the information did
not allege to whom the land belonged
on which the stock were herded was
overruled by the court below, on
which ruling the cause is sought to be
reversed. Held, that it is not neces-
sary for the information TO state whose
property the land was on which the
stock were herded, it being sufficient
to allege that it was not the property
of the defendant.
Judgment affirmed.
D. G.. Bronson v. The State of Texas;
appeal from Bexar county. Opinion
by Judge White.
Appellant was convicted in the court
below of an aggravated assault and
battery and fined $50. Held, that sit
is not necessary in an indictment for
aggravated assault and battery to al
lege an intent to injure." (State V.
Hays, Al Tex. r. 526. There was no
evidence adduced requiring the court
to charge upon the law Of any offense
other than an aggravated assault. The
rule is that it is only necessary to give
such instructions as are applicable to
every Legitimate deduction which the
jury may draw from the facts. Dish
op v. The State, 43 Tex. r. 39O.)
Judgment affirmed.
Brown v. The State; appeal from Den
ton. Opinion by John P. White, J.
The defendant was indicted for an
aggravated assault with deadly weap-
on. 1t was objected that the lndict-
ment was insufficient in that it did not
allege that the assault was committed
under circumstances not amounting
to an intent to murder or MAIN. (P.
D., article 2150, subdivision 81 Such
an allegation is not necessary. The Of
Tense is complete when it is shown to
have been committed with a deadly
weapon, and the defendant cannot
complain, because under the indict-
ment he could not possibly have been
convicted of higher grade of crime
than an aggravated assault. Citing
the State v. Lutterlot, 90 Tex, p. 213)
Affirmed.

Editorial Notes.

Water obtained by artesian wells on
the Colorado desert is found to be too
salt for domestic use.
montpelier" the homestead of
President Madison, near Lexington,
Virginia, has been sold to land COM
pany, and is to be occupied by Ger
mans.
1t is expected. that the Indian prison
ers now confined at st. Augustine,
Florida, will soon be pardoned. Many
of the younger ones have expressed a
desire to remain in civilized ranks and
attend school, instead of running wild
on the plains.
The late DR.. Muhlenberg was, in his
youth, engaged to marry Miss Coleman,
sister uf the lady to whom James
Buchanan was betrothed. The your g
lady died before the time set for the
marriage, and 1t was his grief for this
loss that found expression in his fam
Gus verses, Il would not live Away"
He never married.
The chief regret connected with the
Supreme Court decision in the Centen-
NAL money will be that it deals hard
blow to the Philadelphia Permanent
Exhibition, the stock of which is most
ly made up of Centennial stock, worth,
until the present decision, 80 per cent,
but now knocked down to %.
All Moon, a San Francisco China
man, being on trial for murder, was
told by his lawyer that the defense
would be an alibi. The prisoner SAID
that he could arrange readily for vi =
nesses, and he did. Three of his
countrymen swore that, at the time OF
the murder, he was at work in q wash
house; two swore that he was asleep
at home, and others would have sworn
that he was in other places had not the
lawyer lnterposed.
Philadelphia is getting nicely ready
for the opening of her permanent in
ternational exhibition May 10, the an
niversary of the Centennial opening,
when the President and other distin-
guished guests are to be present. The
permanent show promises to surpass
expectation in its comprehensiveRess-
Including industrial and agricultural
exhibits by nearly all the countries
originally represented-while Its ar
rangement will be more convenient and
intelligent than before. The articles
will be grouped by subjects, and the
avenues of the main build
ing are to be widened, practically do
ing away with the transverse aisles.
When things are fairly settled ON Fair
mount Park, the display will be we'll
worth a second study to those who
saw the great worlds fair, and will go
far toward making up their loss to
those who missed it.

A SUIcIDE.-Thursday man named
Sidney Smith Evans, farmer, living
about three miles south of Bagdad,
committed suicide at Shaffer's wagon
yard, on Pecan street, by taking dose
OF poison he had purchased at an Aus
TIN drugstore. Soon after he had
swallowed the fatal dose he told what
he had done, said he was sorry for it,
aud asked that doctors be called to
saye his life if possible. AS soon as
possible Drs. Wooten, Worthingtou,
Cummings and Bibb were brought,
but they got there too late to
do anything, and the man died at just
. o'clock, about forty minutes after he
had swallowed the poison. A gentle
man who was with the deceased says
that he was subject to spells OF depres-
sion, and this is the only cause given
for the occurrence of the sad event.
Mr.. Evans, who leaves a wife and eight
children, had been summoned to Aus
tin By the district court grand jury.
The following note was found in the
hat of the deceased:
Take me home and bury me by my
child on the north side Of its grave.
l never ought to have had anything to
do with law. l want to go home to

From all sections of the Northwest
come the same reports of expected
grasshopper ;invasions. All over Ne
braska the ground IS full OF the eggs
of the locust, which are now Matching
out, and the people aver that no amount
of freezing or thawing has any per-
ceptible effect on them. The reports
from Minnesota, Dakota and Western
Iowa are virtually the same. Fears of
serious trouble from the pests during
tie coming season are by no means un-
reasonable, and farmers look forward
to the coming of warm weather with
well-grounded apprehensions.

some Of our advertisers may learn
something from a tradesman who tells
the world in his advertisement, and
truthfully, too, that he sells jewelry
and watches, chains and diamonds sat
prices that would make q miser laugh"
and adds, with scathing irony worthy
of Anna Dickinson: mo wonder the
pltiful wall from the so-called cheap
stores, that our goods are stolen. They
haven't the brains nor the cash to
match these panic prices, that laugh
to scorn the panics of 1857 and 1873"
and the jeweler, Wells, says, further,
that "he who wants the custom of the
masses must match and beat these
prices, else we shall ride roughshod
over him or make FOOD of him for the
auction rooms. Hence the psltry tale
of stolen goods. Remember, we live,
when travelling North, in the auction
rooms, we follow the wary sheriff in
his crooked path, we gather these live
panic bargains with an energy that
never tires, nerve that never quivers,
and an eye that never sleeps, and we
work like iron men for the millionq,
the masses and the money. If people
doubt let them come and see at the

tured the two robbers who went
through the Uvalde stage coach near
that place last Wednesday. A sergeant
who had been plundered by the des-

miles, when, encountering squad of
soldiers, he induced them to accompa-
ny him IN pursuit of the mslefactors.
After a chase of about twenty-four

keep track of the fugitives, they were
overtaken and surrendered at the mus

The American shipping engaged in
the foreign trade was probably at its
lowest ebb at the close of the rebellion.
At that time the American merchant
marine engaged in foreign trade was
started at 90, 500 tons OF steam vessels,
and 4S2, 100 tons of sailing vessels.
There has been a great increase since,
the New York Shipping Lit estimating
the American steam tonnage now in
foreign trade at 7S9, 726 tons, and the
sailing vessels at 1892, 900 tons. We
have nearly four times as much sailing
tonnage and thirty times a. much
steam tonnage; and although the latter
business has bsen somewhat overdone,
yet the vast increase speaks well for
the ultimate recovery of the American
position in the commerce of tho ocean.
