On Thursday evening last the
Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul and
Chicago & N. W. freight trains col.
.ided at the crossing on Lake Mono
ma, at Madison, resulting in quite q
smash-up. Two fiat cars and engine
OF the former train were boosted off
the track, being but slightly injured,
however. The engine Of the latter
train was turned half way round,
ran along the side of the other track
and stopped by topping over the
embankmeut, and was badly wreck
ed. Strange to say no lives were
lost, and no injuries sustained, not
even q scratch. It was fortunate
for the engineer and fireman of the
c. Il N. w. that they jumped off
just as the trains clashed together.

examination made by DR.. r. l..
Telfair, Of Lone Rock. A bullet
hole was found In his head. The
shot went in just behind the right
ear and went nearly through his

AMONG the noteworthy events OF
the past few days is the return of
Mr.. Birely from New York with his
fine selection of goods. Never in
the history Of our busy little city
was such an elegant display OF
watches, clocks, fine jewelry and
plated ware, all Of the latest pat
terms, and everything that goes with
the trade, exhibited to its citizens.
Mr.. B. spent considerable time in
selecting these goods, having studied
the wants OF the people in this vicin-
ity before hand, and he has done
we'll indeed. Any person who car
not here be suited had better be out
of the world than in it. A general
invitation is extended every individ-
ual to call and see the display.

The Turkish Sublime Porte.

The burning of the Porte was proba-
bly, an incendiary fire. The building
was somewhat imposing structure when
viewed from distance; but on entering
the building at either of the doorsr0n the
front you were speedily disabused of any
respect for the place. The filthy wooden
stairways and the rough, unexpected cor
ridors were the stair.ways and corridors
of an ill-kept poor-house. They were al
ways thronged with rabble. Foreign
ers and natives, high and low, rich and
poor, had perfect freedom of access.
Rows of women squatted on their heels
here and there, lawyers and clients
spread out documents on the floor to
study them, office-seekers button-holed
the servants to the great men whom they
would reach, and bought first-class rights
with a great price. The Offices we're
fitted up in an increasing scale of expen-
siveness, but without taste. There was
hardly table in the whole building.
Men sat in wide-bottomed, upholstered
arm chairs, wrote official dispatches, using
the palm of the left hand for a rest for
the paper. So thoroughly has the i'm
print of nomadic customs remained on
the Turkish people that the papers of the
departments are kept in leathern cases or
portmanteaus, ready for instant flight.
There are no pigeon-holcs, and instead of
saying a petition is pigeon-holed the
Turks say it is "bagged." - My.

Out of the Jurisdiction.

A good story is told of Vermont ex-
judge and ex-member Of Congress. The
latter held court in Essex county when a
long standing case in which AN especially
sharp lawyer had been engaged was
heard. The judge ruled the law points
against the lawyer in question, and he
lost the case. After tea the counsellor,
who was staying at the same place in
Guildhall with the judge, approached the
latter and invited him to take drive,
and the judge accepted. A few minutes
behind good trotter took them over the
line into New Hampshire, when the at
torney turned to his companion and said !:
"Judge, 1 presume, now we are in New
Hampshire, we are peers2" The court
assented. "Well," rejoined the lawyer,
"you blank old fool, how came you to
decide that case against me2" And ex-
pending part of his temper upon the
innocent animal that drew the carriage,
he sped away from the line of Vermont,
increasing his vituperation with the dis
lance from the judges jurisdiction.
Finally, exhausted, he turned his horse
and drove back to Guildhall. As the
horses hoofs sounded on the bridge,
which brough: the riders again in the
Green Mountain State, the now serene
lawyer gracefully raised his bat and said,
"Judge, We have had q very pleasant
ride together. am greatly obliged for
your company, and hope at some future
occasion to have the honor of q drive
with you again"
