You May Dun by Postal Card.

The San Francisco CHRONICLE thus ex-
plains the issue brought in that city
against the sender of dunning postal
card: ga. Zehandalaar was examined
before United States Commissioner
O'Beirne on charge of sending an indie
cent publications. postal card-to E.
G. Emmett, law clerk in the office of c..
T. Emmett, dunning him for an unpaid
tailor bill Mr.. Emmett was asked If he
did not owe the bill, but an objection
was made. The District Attorney argued
the card contained an innuendo that
that the debtor was dishonest, by use of
the following words: Honest men pay
their tailors' bills He argued that an
attempt was made to hold Emmett up to
public ridicule. The language was abso-
lutely insulting. It was an illegitimate
mode of collecting a debt. The object
was to protect the postoffice from becom-
ing the vehicle for conveying indecent
and insulting communications. He con-
sidered any unbecoming language action
able. The defense claimed that there
was nothing indecent on the card that
any lady could read it without blushing.
The Commissioner promptly ruled out
the evidence and dismissed tie case,
holding that the statute did not cover the
case"

had a four-oun bottle filled with water,
with which they had moistened their

cabin and induced them to eat some

He had been waiting for remittances

Protection from Flies.

A contemporary records the discovery
of French pharmaceutal chemist who
has discovered way to protect horses
from attacks of flies, according to Lon
don medical paper. His invention con-
sists of rubbing the horses, especially
the parts most subject to attack, with a
little concentrated oil of laurel. There
is not the slightest danger in it's use, and
the cost is said to be very small. Anoth-
er repellant suggested by the same per-
son is solution of 60 grammes q ID.
and 5 ozs avordupois) of assafoetida in
two glasses of water, and one Of vinegar.
If horses be well washed with this not a
fly will settle on them, as the assafntlda
drives the flies away. This drug has no
deleterious qualities as an external appli-
cation, and may be used unhesitatingly.

Mr.. and Mrs. So Wild BILL,

The murder of w. B. Hickok, known
as Wild Bill, a frontiersman, whose
fearlessness, skill and manly beauty
Gen. Custer had praised in a magazine
article, attracted wide attention about q
year ago. A Cheyenne correspondent of
the y ord gives this new account of the
killing: "Fate brought him to the same
card table with Jack Mccall, a gambling
sharper. On the last hand Mccall bet
$40 and lost, and when he came to settle
found that he had only $3.50. Bill, re-
marking, You oughtn't to overbet your
pile; that's no way to play cards, handed
him back SIS to pay for his lodging and
breakfast. Next morning Bill WAS in a
saloon, when Mccall came behind him
noiselessly, placed the muzzle of his re-
volver to the back of his head, and killed
him" The same writer sketches the
widow of Wild Bill. She has had two
husbands, both public characters, and
both doomed to a violent death. In
1847, at the age Of Is, she married Will
lam Lake, clown, Of whose circus she
became financial manager. In 1869,
while the circus was at CRANKY, Mo-, a
loafer named Jake Killian slipped in
without paying. Lake elected the dead
head, who armed himself, returned to
the tent, paid his way in, and, seeking
out Lake, shot him dead. After her
husbands death Mrs. Lake took the
management of the circus, which she
conducted for three seasons, visiting all
parts Of the Union. She then sold off
her menagerie, apparatus and stud, and
in 1875 went to San Francisco There
she remained but few weeks, going to
Cheyenne year ago last April, where a
little while afterward she married Wild

Mr.. Parker's Funny Little Story,
[From the New York World.l

[From the New York World.l
Mr.. Parker sat in Mr.. Johnson's place
last evening, shade of melancholy upon
his usually placid brow. At last he
turned to his friend and said "John-
son, you remember the race | had after
that boy who tried to push me off the
Blocker street carr"
''Oh yes, [ remember said Mr..
Johnson.
"Speaking of boys" resumed Mr..
Parker, "did I ever tell you about the
boy and the policeman ?"
"No."
"Sad, sad story, but if policemen will
let their temper rise, and if boys will an
noy them-well, we'll, I suppose such
things are intended as a lesson" said
Mr.. Parker with sigh.
EDO tell us the story" urged Mr..
johnson.
81 suppose I might as WE'LL" said
Mr.. Parker. cit was the 18th day of
last June, at exactly 3:15 o'clock in the
afternoon. I know, because looked at
my watch just before the-the" - Mr..
Parker hesitated for word a moment,
and then said affair."" ct was going
up Broadway, and had reached Broome
street, when the first peculiar and un-
wonted thing I observed was small
boy seated upon the steps Of an omnibus
also going up town. Suddenly I saw an
officer, who had placed a whistle to his
lips and blew shrill blast The sound
OF the whistle seemed to affect the small
boy, for he raised his hand gracefully to
a level with his face, placed his thumb
upon the tip of his exceedingly pug
nose, and moved his fingers in the air.
He accompanied this salute with the re-
mark, Blow away, old Prussian blue
This seemed to anger the policeman,
who did blow away at a tremendous rate.
"'It's time ter go ter work don'tyer
hear de brass foundry a-whistlin'?'
screamed the small boy, derisively.
The officer made dash after him
the small boy clambered down, and
chase ensued. The situation of affairs
at this point of my story can be more
easily comprehended by reference to
this drawing"
Here Mr. Parker executed few rapid
strokes with piece Of chalk upon slate
whereon he had been scoring points in
recent game.
"Here,' - said he, els the map:''
