Anthony Comstock is making an earnest
fight to prevent the repeal or modification
of the law which now gives him control of
the mails. He appeared on Saturday
before the house committee on the revision
ofthe laws and exhibited the vile collection
which he has been showing during the
past ten years of infamous objects and
pictures, which he claims to have captured
in the mails. He is opposed by medical
publishers, who claim that he interferes
with their business rights, and that the law
which he had passed by exciting the
indignation of congress is unconstitutional.

Yesterday morning on the assembling Of
the Circuit court the rain was pouring
through the roof, the benches, tables. chairs,
desks and floor were covered with water.
Col. Jno. F. Philips arose and moved the
court adjourn until Monday morning, on
account of the condition of the court room.
Stating that it was not only an outrage to
be compelled to hold court in such place,
but that nobody could do business for
lodging the rain and that it was danger
ous to the health OF the court, the officers,
lawyers. aud every one whose duty or bust
ness required them to attend court. The
motion was seconded by Capt. Bridges, who
endorsed what Col. Philips had said and
added as an additional reason that it was
very expensive to hold court in such place
on account of the extras that had to be
'1sid in" The Judge adjourned court and
instructed County Attorney Jackson to call
the disgraceful affair to the attention OF the
County court.
This court house is q disgrace. 1t has
always been such. 1t always will be. Yet
the County court rents it at a big rent price
when it is totally unfit to hold court in
either summer or winter. 1t il dangerous,
and one Of these days it will bury crowd
in its ruins. 1t ought to be condemned a
nuisance

Little Irregularities.

Complaint was made to Marshal Smith
one day last week that there was house
Of prostitution being kept on Kentucky
street in the house formerly occupied by
the Rev. J. NJ. Van Wagner, as . dwelling
house. 1t was said that the wife of the
man who lives in the house was the keeper
Of the den, and that the husband knew all
about it, but made no effort to stop the i'm
moral practice. The Marshal finally
swore out warrant for the arrest of the
man, whose name is Thompson Doty. and
he was arrested Friday evening and lodged
in the cooler.
He was before the Recorder yesterday
for trial, but the case was continued until
Tuesday morning At nine o'clock, DOty
being released on his own recognizance.
The parties who made the complaint are
very indignant over the matter, and say
that if the house is vacated by next Tues
day noon. the matter yill be peaceaLly set
tied, but that if it is not empty by that
time, severe measures will be taken.

A Matrimonial Scene.

Friday evening. about nine o'clock, .
trio ri young men passed the residence Of
. young married couple living-well, no
matter in what pat Of the city, you all
know them. The blinds were up, and
through the window could be seen the
happy pair, indulsing in all those little
expressions Of affection that go toward
making matrimony the acme Of human
enjoyment. Others came along the
street and stopped % witness the
sight, until about dozen men, doomed
To single cussedness, were all watch
ing the free entertainment. Finally, one
oi the spectators more sensitive than the
rest, could stand il no longer, and before he
conId check himself yelled, "Hey, -,
hug her once for me-" The new made hus-
band sprang to the door and opened it, but
instead Of being mad Was in the best hu-
NOR IN the world. He called the fellow
into the house, saying that it was on him,
and going to the sideboard, produced bot

partook. They babe their host and hostess

A Jealous Lover.

Quite q sensation was created in this
city Friday evening. BY jealous lover At
lacking his supposed rival on the street
while in company with certain young
lady in this city. 1t appears that some
time since, the young man designated above
rs the jealous lover, commenced paying his
addresses to young lady of Sedalia, and
in due course of time proposed and was
accepted. Not long since the match was
broken off for some cause or other, and the
young man grew melancholy and morose,
and would have nothing to say to anybody.
On Friday evening, the young lady in
question accepted an Invitation to 60 walk
ing with another fellow. and while
strolling along one Of the prln-
cipal streets in the city, the rejected
lover of the young lady appeared on the
scene, with wrath depicted on his face and
jealousy in his heart. Without saying a
word he stepped mp to his supposed rival
and commenced belaboring him with his
fists, while the young lady screamed "mur-
der" at the top Of her voice. The rejected
sutton gave his rival good trcuncing and
then left the city, and has not been heard of
since. The city police are looking after
him, rs he is wanted on charge of assault
and battery. and If caught, may be severely
dealt with according to Law.

An Amusing Incident.

Yesterday morning, about half-past
eight O'Clock, a man in aspring wagon was
driving north on Ohio street, and when he
arrived opposite Sicher Bros. restaurant,
the coupling pin of the wagon became loose
and dropped out of its resting place, and as
a consequence the fore and rear parts OF
the wagon became detached from each other.
The horses continued going up the street,
with the fore wheels and the bed Of the
wagon, while the hind wheels remained
standing in the stree. When the horses
started IF, the hind end of the wagon bed
fell to the ground, and the driver was
thrown off his seat, turning double sum-
merssult, and sliding out of the wagon INTO
the street, broke off the end-gAte. He
gave vent to one prolonged "oh !" when he
fell, but he soon recovered himself and COM
menced putting the wagon together again /;
after which he continued on up the
street as unconcerned as if nothing had hap
pened.

A disgraceful fight OCCURRED on Main
street yesterday morning between two
white women. They got into . dispute
ateut some trifling thing, and the dispute
ended in free fight. The fight commenc-
ed on the street, and one Of the women
getting the worst of the fracas, ran INTO the
house, seized Ratchet that was lying on
the floor, and running to the door. threw it
at the other woman with all her strength.
Luckily, the Ratchet did no other harm
than to whistle through the air in close
proximity to the woman's head. If it had
hit the woman it would probably have
killed her outright, as it was thrown with
considerable force. 1t is to be regretted
that there were no police on hand to Wit
ness the shameful affair, or both of the
combatants would have been taken to the
calabOOse.

The police officers Of this city are wag-
ging relentless war on tramps. Every
one that strikes the town is arrested and
put in the calaboose; he IL made to work out
his fine, and when released is given within
a certain period of time to leave the city.
Ii he does not leave within that time he is
locked up again. BY this means Marshal
Smith means to break up the practice Of
tramps lying around the city, doing moth
ing but robbing and stealing. 1t is good
idea Of the marshal's and If he imprisons
the tramPs that come to the city, they will
soon learn that the police force Of Sedalis
is not to be fooled with, and give the city a
vide berth.

He Knew Too Much.
New York Times.


Of the numerous eminent citizens of
Oshkosh there is none who is more deserv-
ing of respect than Mr.. johnson. Not
only is he an amiable and upright man,
but he is gifted with remarkab inventive
genius. At least such is his opinion, and
those who are not personally acquainted
with him rarely deny that his opinion is
right Mrs. johnson, however, does not
regard her husband as an able inventor.
She admits that he means well, but she
asserts with much emphasis that when one
of his inventions comes in at the front
door it Is time for her to fly out Of the
nearest available window, if her life is
really worth saving.
Mr. Johnson always maintained that his
wife's lack of faith in him was due to an
unfortunate accident that occurred in con-
nection with an attempt made by him to
manufacture rice griddlecakes. As he just
ly says, cooking has nothing to do with in
vention, and that il is unjust to discredit
his inventive genius simply because heon
made mistake in cooking. The circum-
stances of the affair were these: Mr.. John
son, who had repeatedly found fault with
his breakfast, remarked on one occasion
that his wife seemed absolutely incapable
of learning to make rice griddlecakes.
Whereupon that indignant woman an
nounced that she should refuse to have any,
thing to do with The next days breakfast,
and should lay the whole burden of its
preparation upon her husbands shoulder.
"Of course" she added, you know how TO
make rice cakes better than the Angel Ga
briel, and you can just show, for one, what
you can do"
With great courage Mr.. Johnson under
took the unwelcome task thus thrust up
on him, and made his preparations with
intelligent care. There were eight persons
in his family, and, ~ he estimated that
each one would eat pint OF rice, he de-
c,ded to use four quarts of rice in mixing
ing his griddlecakes. To the rice he added
four quarts of buttermllk and a quart Of
hot water, besides handful, Of -four and
Indian meals, in order that the cakes
should cook brown. He then reflected that
it should be necessary to add to the mixture
that would make it light, and &C.
cordingly threw ia a teaspoonful Of cream of
tartar, an equal quantity Of salaratus and
half a paper Of baking powder. Having
thus mixed his cake to his satisfaction, he
placed the pan containing the mixture in
warm corner of the kitchen and left it to
"rise" during the night.
There Is no doubt that it did "rise.'
Moreover, the rice swelled. On going into
the kitchen the next morning, Mr.. johnson
found that his rice cakes had overlooked
and covered the floor to depth of at least
a foot, while in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the pan pyramid Of batter reached
nearly to the ceiling. That morning he
on dry bread and water, and
employed three Irish women
to clear the kitchen, and an Irishman to
carry away the miraculous batter. Natu-
rally his wife tainted him with his culinary
failure, but the unprejudiced mind will ad
nit that it ought not TO have cast any dis
credit on his inventive powers.
