trial In the Circuit Court. During the
session of conrt yesterday a gentleman
from Marshall county, while in conyersa-
tion with one Of the counsel for the
plaintiff, asked that the defendant be
pointed out 10 him. The attorney to
whom the question was addressed indi-
Gated that = certain attorney on the
other side, who happened to be sitting
near the defendant, was the gay Lothario,
and asked his friend what he thought Of
him. "oh," said the Marshall county
man, looking steadily at the lawyer who
had been pointed out 10 him az the de-
iendant, ahe looks like it. His face is
enough to convict him"

TARIFF ON TYPE.-One of the most
obnoxious features of the new Tariff Bill
now before Congress is that which pro-
poses to increase the import duty on type
of foreign manufacture. While we may
believe in protective tariff in the alb
stract, we also believe such tariff should
be regulated so as to insure the greatest
good tothe greatest number, and not in
such manner as would result in enriching
